At the end of July, 2023, the voice in the wilderness began to cry unto the dead dry bones, as represented by Daniel going to Arioch and informing him that he understood the “secret.” Daniel in relation to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah represent the Elijah messenger, and the Elijah message identifies that whether God’s people understand or accept it or not, they are already under a curse.

Krajem srpnja 2023. glas u pustinji poče vikati mrtvim suhim kostima, kao što je predočeno time što je Daniel otišao k Arjoku i obavijestio ga da razumije „tajnu“. Daniel u odnosu na Hananiju, Mišaela i Azariju predstavlja glasnika Iliju, a poruka Ilije prepoznaje da su, bez obzira na to razumije li je ili prihvaća Božji narod ili ne, oni već pod prokletstvom.

> And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Malachi 2:1, 2.

> A sada, o svećenici, ova je zapovijed za vas. Ako ne budete slušali i ako ne uzmete k srcu da proslavite moje ime, veli Jahve nad Vojskama, pustit ću na vas prokletstvo i proklet ću vaše blagoslove; da, već sam ih prokleo, jer to ne uzimate k srcu. Malahija 2,1. 2.

The “priests” of the last days, according to Peter, are the covenant people of God who were formerly not the covenant people of God. They are those who ate of the “hidden book” when the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descended on September 11, 2001. Yet according to Malachi, they are cursed.

„Svećenici” posljednjih dana, prema Petru, jesu saveznički narod Božji koji prije nije bio saveznički narod Božji. To su oni koji su jeli od „skrivene knjige” kada je silni anđeo iz Otkrivenja osamnaest sišao 11. rujna 2001. Ipak, prema Malahiji, oni su prokleti.

> If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:3–10.

> Ako ste doista okusili da je Gospodin milostiv. Pristupajući k njemu, živomu kamenu, koji ljudi doduše odbaciše, ali je od Boga izabran i dragocjen, i sami se kao živo kamenje ugrađujete u duhovnu kuću, za sveto svećenstvo, da prinosite duhovne žrtve ugodne Bogu po Isusu Kristu. Zato i stoji u Pismu: Evo, postavljam na Sionu kamen ugaoni, izabrani, dragocjeni; i tko god vjeruje u njega, neće se postidjeti. Vama dakle koji vjerujete on je dragocjen; a onima koji su neposlušni, kamen koji graditelji odbaciše, taj postade zaglavni ugaoni kamen, i kamen spoticanja i stijena sablazni, onima koji se spotiču o riječ, budući da su neposlušni; na što su također bili određeni. A vi ste izabrani rod, kraljevsko svećenstvo, sveti narod, narod stečen za Božje vlasništvo, da navješćujete kreposti Onoga koji vas je pozvao iz tame u svoje čudesno svjetlo: vi koji nekoć ne bijaste narod, a sada ste narod Božji; koji ne bijaste zadobili milosrđe, a sada ste zadobili milosrđe. 1 Petrova 2:3–10.

The “priests” of the last days are those who “have tasted that the Lord is good.” “In times past” they “were not a people, but now are the people of God.” They are those who have found the “living stone,” that was “disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious.” That stone is the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six, that the “builders” of the Millerite movement “disallowed” in 1863. The Millerite “builders” constructed a temple in the forty-six years from 1798 unto 1844, but they thereafter chose to reject the “increase of knowledge” upon the “seven times” that arrived in 1856.

„Svećenici” posljednjih dana oni su koji su „okusili da je Gospodin dobar.” „Nekada” „nisu bili narod, a sada su narod Božji.” To su oni koji su pronašli „živi kamen”, koji je „istina, od ljudi odbačen, ali od Boga izabran i dragocjen.” Taj je kamen „sedam vremena” iz Levitskog zakonika dvadeset i šest, koja su „graditelji” milleritskog pokreta „odbacili” 1863. godine. Milleritski „graditelji” izgradili su hram tijekom četrdeset i šest godina, od 1798. do 1844., ali su potom odlučili odbaciti „umnoženje znanja” o „sedam vremena” koje je stiglo 1856. godine.

> My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. Hosea 4:6, 7.

> Moj narod propada zbog nedostatka znanja; jer si ti odbacio znanje, i ja ću odbaciti tebe, da mi više ne budeš svećenik. Budući da si zaboravio zakon Boga svojega, i ja ću zaboraviti djecu tvoju. Što ih je više bilo, to su više griješili protiv mene; zato ću njihovu slavu pretvoriti u sramotu. Hošea 4,6.7.

The “priests” of the last days accepted the message of “seven times” when they were led back to the old paths of Adventism post-September 11, 2001. They tasted the message of the hidden book, and it was “precious.” Yet Malachi says the priests of the last days are “cursed”, and of course the “seven times” is a curse. They are under the curse of “seven times,” for they have repeated the sins of their fathers. Malachi says the priests profaned God’s name, by offering a “polluted offering”. That offering was the prediction of July 18, 2020.

„Svećenici“ posljednjih dana prihvatili su poruku o „sedam vremena“ kada su, nakon 11. rujna 2001., bili vraćeni na stare staze adventizma. Okusili su poruku skrivene knjige, i ona je bila „dragocjena“. Ipak, Malahija kaže da su svećenici posljednjih dana „prokleti“, a naravno, „sedam vremena“ jest prokletstvo. Oni su pod prokletstvom „sedam vremena“, jer su ponovili grijehe svojih otaca. Malahija kaže da su svećenici oskvrnuli Božje ime prinoseći „okaljanu žrtvu“. Ta je žrtva bilo predviđanje 18. srpnja 2020.

> For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord. But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. Malachi 1:11–2:4.

> Jer od izlaska sunca pa do zalaska njegova ime će moje biti veliko među narodima; i na svakome će se mjestu prinositi kâd imenu mojemu i žrtva čista; jer će ime moje biti veliko među poganima, govori Gospod nad vojskama. Ali vi ga skvrnite govoreći: Stol je Gospodnji oskvrnjen, a plod njegov, jelo njegovo, prezrivo je. Govorite još: Gle, kakva li je to muka! — i prezrivo frkćete na nj, govori Gospod nad vojskama; i donosite što je rastrgano, i hromo, i bolesno; tako prinosite žrtvu: zar da to primim iz vaše ruke? govori Gospod. Nego proklet bio varalica koji u svojem stadu ima mužjaka, pa zavjetuje i žrtvuje Gospodu što je pokvareno; jer ja sam veliki Kralj, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i ime je moje strašno među narodima. A sada, o svećenici, za vas je ova zapovijed. Ako ne poslušate i ako ne uzmete k srcu da proslavite ime moje, govori Gospod nad vojskama, poslat ću na vas prokletstvo i proklet ću vaše blagoslove; da, već sam ih prokleo, jer toga ne uzimate k srcu. Evo, iskvarit ću vam sjeme i razasuti vam izmet po licima, izmet vaših svečanih blagdana; i odnijet će vas s njime. I znat ćete da sam vam poslao ovu zapovijed da moj savez bude s Levijem, govori Gospod nad vojskama. Malahija 1:11–2:4.

The covenant with Levi is the symbol of the Levites’ faithfulness in the image of the beast test in the rebellion of Aaron’s golden calf. The Levites in the book of Malachi, who are cleansed by the messenger of the covenant, are cleansed in order to offer “an offering” in righteousness. The offering is the message of Christ’s name, which is His character.

Savez s Levijem simbol je vjernosti levita u kušnji slike zvijeri tijekom pobune oko Aronova zlatnog teleta. Leviti u knjizi proroka Malahije, koje čisti glasnik Saveza, očišćeni su kako bi prinijeli „žrtveni prinos” u pravednosti. Taj prinos jest poruka Kristova imena, koje je Njegov karakter.

> “It is the darkness of misapprehension of God that is enshrouding the world. Men are losing their knowledge of His character. It has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. At this time a message from God is to be proclaimed, a message illuminating in its influence and saving in its power. His character is to be made known. Into the darkness of the world is to be shed the light of His glory, the light of His goodness, mercy, and truth.

> „Tama pogrešnog shvaćanja Boga obavija svijet. Ljudi gube spoznaju o Njegovu karakteru. On je bio pogrešno shvaćen i pogrešno tumačen. U ovo vrijeme treba se objaviti poruka od Boga, poruka koja u svom utjecaju prosvjetljuje i u svojoj sili spašava. Njegov karakter treba biti obznanjen. U tamu svijeta treba se izliti svjetlost Njegove slave, svjetlost Njegove dobrote, milosti i istine.

> “This is the work outlined by the prophet Isaiah in the words, ‘O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.’ Isaiah 40:9, 10.

> „To je djelo koje je prorok Izaija iznio riječima: ‘O Jeruzaleme, koji donosiš dobre vijesti, podigni svoj glas snažno; podigni ga, ne boj se; reci gradovima Judinim: Evo Boga vašega! Evo, Gospodin Bog doći će snažnom rukom, i mišica će Njegova vladati za Njega; evo, plaća je Njegova s Njime, i djelo Njegovo pred Njim.’ Izaija 40,9.10.

> “Those who wait for the Bridegroom’s coming are to say to the people, ‘Behold your God.’ The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love. The children of God are to manifest His glory. In their own life and character they are to reveal what the grace of God has done for them.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 415.

> „Oni koji čekaju dolazak Zaručnika trebaju reći narodu: ‘Evo Boga vašega.’ Posljednje zrake milosrdne svjetlosti, posljednja poruka milosti koja se ima dati svijetu, otkrivenje je Njegova karaktera ljubavi. Djeca Božja trebaju očitovati Njegovu slavu. U vlastitom životu i karakteru trebaju otkriti što je milost Božja učinila za njih.” Kristove pouke, 415.

Malachi’s priests offered an offering that corrupted God’s name. The offering represents a message, and the message of Nashville on July 18, 2020, was a corrupted offering. It was corrupted by the rebellion of disregarding the prophetic command that “there should be time no longer”, that was given by Christ himself in Revelation ten.

Malakijini svećenici prinosili su žrtvu koja je oskvrnula Božje ime. Žrtva predstavlja poruku, a poruka iz Nashvillea od 18. srpnja 2020. bila je iskvarena žrtva. Bila je iskvarena pobunom očitovanom u zanemarivanju proročke zapovijedi da „vremena više neće biti“, koju je dao sam Krist u desetom poglavlju Otkrivenja.

> 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 je stvorio nebo i što je na 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 “offering of righteousness” that is represented by the Levites in Malachi chapter three, is as an offering in the days of old, and it represents a message. The “former years” represent the purity of the message which produced the first disappointment in the Millerite history. The corrupted offering represents the corrupted message of July 18, 2020, yet it is still a parallel event.

„Prinos pravednosti” koji predstavljaju leviti u trećem poglavlju Malahije jest poput prinosa u drevne dane i predstavlja poruku. „Prijašnje godine” predstavljaju čistoću poruke koja je proizvela prvo razočaranje u mileritskoj povijesti. Iskvareni prinos predstavlja iskvarenu poruku od 18. srpnja 2020., no to je ipak usporedan događaj.

> And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Malachi 3:3, 4.

> I sjedit će kao ljevač i pročistač srebra; i očistit će sinove Levijeve i pročistit će ih kao zlato i srebro, da prinose Gospodu prinos u pravednosti. Tada će prinos Jude i Jeruzalema biti ugodan Gospodu kao u dane stare i kao u prijašnje godine. Malahija 3:3, 4.

The “curse” that is identified in Malachi identifies a test of an acknowledgement of what Elijah represents. Those of us that are now awakening must understand that the reality of the curse of “seven times” has been fulfilled upon us in the rebellion we manifested in making the sinful prediction of July 18, 2020. We must also once again decide what prophetic methodology we choose to eat. Two witnesses to this fact, and there are others, can be found in Malachi’s presentation of the Elijah to come, and also from Elijah’s own history. Elijah clearly identified that there would only be one correct message and methodology.

„Prokletstvo” koje se prepoznaje u Malahiji prepoznaje kušnju priznavanja onoga što Ilija predstavlja. Mi koji se sada budimo moramo razumjeti da se stvarnost prokletstva „sedam vremena” ispunila nad nama u pobuni koju smo očitovali iznoseći grešno predviđanje za 18. srpnja 2020. Moramo također još jednom odlučiti koju ćemo proročku metodologiju izabrati da je jedemo. Dva svjedočanstva o toj činjenici, a ima ih i drugih, mogu se naći u Malahijinu prikazu Ilije koji treba doći, a također i u samoj Ilijinoj povijesti. Ilija je jasno označio da će postojati samo jedna ispravna poruka i metodologija.

> And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 1 Kings 17:1.

> I Ilija Tišbijac, koji bijaše od stanovnika Gileada, reče Ahabu: Tako živ bio Gospodin, Bog Izraelov, pred kojim stojim, ovih godina neće biti ni rose ni kiše, osim na moju riječ. 1 Kings 17:1.

Malachi identified a “curse” that God’s priests are under in the period when the final Elijah appears in connection with a curse associated with God’s tithe. The “curse” of the tithe in Malachi, represents a decision on the part of the people of God, for in order to remove the curse they are already under they must decide where and what is the “storehouse”.

Malahija je prepoznao „prokletstvo” pod kojim se nalaze Božji svećenici u razdoblju kada se pojavljuje konačni Ilija, u vezi s prokletstvom povezanim s Božjom desetinom. „Prokletstvo” desetine u Malahiji predstavlja odluku od strane Božjega naroda, jer da bi uklonili prokletstvo pod kojim se već nalaze, moraju odlučiti gdje je i što je „spremište”.

> Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. Malachi 3:1–11.

> Evo, ja šaljem glasnika svojega da pripravi put preda mnom. I iznenada će doći u svoj Hram Gospodin kojega tražite, i Anđeo Saveza kojemu se radujete. Evo, on dolazi, veli Gospod nad vojskama. Ali tko može podnijeti dan njegova dolaska i tko će opstati kad se on pojavi? Jer on je kao oganj talioničara i kao lužina bjeliočeva. I sjest će kao onaj koji tali i čisti srebro; očistit će sinove Levijeve i pročistiti ih kao zlato i srebro, da prinose Gospodinu žrtveni prinos u pravednosti. Tada će prinos Jude i Jeruzalema biti mio Gospodinu kao u drevne dane i kao u prijašnje godine. I pristupit ću vam na sud i bit ću brz svjedok protiv vračara i protiv preljubnika i protiv onih koji se krivo zaklinju, i protiv onih koji zakidaju najamnika u njegovoj plaći, udovicu i siroče, i koji strancu uskraćuju njegovo pravo i mene se ne boje, veli Gospod nad vojskama. Jer ja sam Gospodin, ne mijenjam se; zato vi, sinovi Jakovljevi, niste uništeni. Još od dana svojih otaca odstupate od mojih uredaba i ne držite ih. Vratite se k meni, i ja ću se vratiti k vama, veli Gospod nad vojskama. A vi govorite: U čemu da se vratimo? Smije li čovjek zakidati Boga? A vi mene zakidate. Ali vi govorite: U čemu te zakidamo? U desetinama i prinosima. Prokleti ste prokletstvom, jer mene zakidate, sav ovaj narod. Donesite sve desetine u spremište, da bude hrane u mojoj kući, i okušajte me sada u tome, veli Gospod nad vojskama, neću li vam otvoriti ustave nebeske i izliti na vas blagoslov tako obilan da za nj neće biti dosta mjesta. I zaprijetit ću proždrljivcu radi vas da vam ne uništava plod zemlje, i vaša loza u polju neće ostati bez roda prije vremena, veli Gospod nad vojskama. Malahija 3,1–11.

The Lord does not change, nor does he change methodology. Whatever the “curse” may or may not be, that is represented by Malachi’s curse of “tithe”, the tithe is to be brought into the storehouse, for the purpose of having “meat” in God’s house. That fact demands that a decision be made as to what the “storehouse” is, and what was the food represented by William Miller in the movement of the first angel, which typified the food to be eaten in the movement of the third angel? One of the symbols of that food is “rain” and “dew”.

Gospodin se ne mijenja, niti mijenja svoju metodologiju. Što god „prokletstvo” bilo ili ne bilo, ono je predstavljeno Malahijinim prokletstvom „desetine”; desetina se treba donijeti u spremište, sa svrhom da u Božjoj kući bude „hrane”. Ta činjenica zahtijeva da se donese odluka o tome što je „spremište” i što je bila hrana koju je predstavljao William Miller u pokretu prvoga anđela, a koja je predočavala hranu koju je trebalo jesti u pokretu trećega anđela? Jedan od simbola te hrane jest „kiša” i „rosa”.

> Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. Deuteronomy 32:1–4.

> Čujte, o nebesa, i govorit ću; i poslušaj, o zemljo, riječi usta mojih. Nauk moj neka pada kao kiša, besjeda moja neka se spušta kao rosa, kao sitna kiša po nježnoj travi i kao pljuskovi po zelenilu; jer ću navijestiti ime Gospodnje: pripišite veličanstvo Bogu našemu. On je Stijena, djelo je njegovo savršeno, jer svi su putovi njegovi pravda; Bog istine i bez nepravde, pravedan je i ispravan on. Ponovljeni zakon 32:1–4.

Did Elijah truly mean what he said to Ahab? Did he actually mean that in the last days, when the perfect fulfillment of the Elijah movement and message occurs, that “there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word?” Does the “rain” that Elijah speaks of being withheld, except at his word, align with the “rain” that Malachi promises as a blessing?

Je li Ilija doista mislio ono što je rekao Ahabu? Je li doista mislio da u posljednjim danima, kada nastupi savršeno ispunjenje Ilijina pokreta i poruke, „neće biti ni rose ni kiše ovih godina, osim po mojoj riječi“? Podudara li se „kiša“ za koju Ilija govori da će biti uskraćena, osim na njegovu riječ, s „kišom“ koju Malahija obećava kao blagoslov?

> Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10.

> Donesite sve desetine u riznicu, da bude hrane u mojoj kući, i okušajte me sada u tome, govori Jahve nad vojskama, neću li vam otvoriti ustave nebeske i izliti na vas blagoslov, te neće biti dosta mjesta da ga primite. Malahija 3,10.

And does the “curse” of the unsanctified “offering” of the “priests”, and the misuse of “tithe” that has already been brought about, also represent the “curse” of the “seven times”?

I predstavlja li i „prokletstvo” neposvećenoga „prinosa” „svećenika” te zlouporaba „desetine” koja je već nastupila, također „prokletstvo” „sedam vremena”?

At the end of July, 2023, we began to publish articles that are essentially a repetition of the message found in the series of studies called Habakkuk’s Tables. The difference in the current presentation is that after July 18, 2020, the Lord began to place some of the old teachings in a new light.

Krajem srpnja 2023. počeli smo objavljivati članke koji su u biti ponavljanje poruke sadržane u nizu proučavanja nazvanom Habakukove ploče. Razlika u sadašnjem izlaganju jest u tome što je nakon 18. srpnja 2020. Gospodin počeo neka od starih učenja stavljati u novo svjetlo.

He began to open things up that appeared to me to be profound, but I was personally out of touch and unwilling to be in touch with the work I had previously been given to accomplish. From July 19, 2020, I understood that the prediction of the previous day was wrong, and that I was personally more responsible for that sinful prediction and its horrible aftermath than any other person.

Počeo je razotkrivati stvari koje su mi se činile dubokima, ali ja osobno nisam bio u doticaju i nisam bio voljan biti u doticaju s djelom koje mi je prethodno bilo dano izvršiti. Od 19. srpnja 2020. shvatio sam da je predviđanje prethodnoga dana bilo pogrešno te da sam ja osobno za to grešno predviđanje i njegove strašne posljedice bio odgovorniji od bilo koje druge osobe.

Then in July of 2023, I was overwhelmed with a conviction, that in spite of my complete failure as a leader of God’s movement of the third angel, I should at least begin to write out what I had come to understand since July of 2020. I determined to put into writing what had been opened up to me since the sin of July 18, 2020, and then place it into the public record, before I was laid to rest.

Zatim me je u srpnju 2023. preplavilo osvjedočenje da bih, unatoč svom potpunom neuspjehu kao vođe Božjega pokreta trećega anđela, barem trebao početi zapisivati ono što sam došao razumjeti od srpnja 2020. Odlučio sam staviti u pisani oblik ono što mi je bilo otvoreno od grijeha 18. srpnja 2020., a zatim to unijeti u javni zapis prije nego što budem položen na počinak.

In the three months since July, there are over seventy countries around the world that are now following these articles. Yes, some are no doubt following for unholy purposes and intent, but not all. We are on the verge of turning on a program that will place these articles into all the major languages of planet earth, for at this point, those seventy-plus countries are forced to consider these truths in only the English language.

U tri mjeseca od srpnja, više od sedamdeset zemalja diljem svijeta sada prati ove članke. Da, nema sumnje da neki to čine s nesvetim svrhama i nakanama, ali ne svi. Na pragu smo pokretanja programa koji će ove članke učiniti dostupnima na svim glavnim jezicima planeta Zemlje, jer su u ovome trenutku te više od sedamdeset zemalja prisiljene razmatrati ove istine samo na engleskom jeziku.

We are already working to help some around the globe, that do not have the ways and means to do much with these truths, and I wonder if Malachi’s “storehouse”, that has a defined purpose of providing “food” in God’s house, may not be referring to the work of spreading the truth that has been proceeding from these articles since July of 2023?

Već radimo na tome da pomognemo nekima diljem svijeta koji nemaju načina ni sredstava učiniti mnogo s ovim istinama, i pitam se ne odnosi li se Malahijino „spremište”, koje ima određenu svrhu pružanja „hrane” u Božjoj kući, možda na djelo širenja istine koje proistječe iz ovih članaka od srpnja 2023.?

We will begin our consideration of Daniel chapter three in the next article.

Započet ćemo naše razmatranje trećega poglavlja Daniela u sljedećem članku.

> “We are living in a special period of this earth’s history. A great work must be done in a very short time, and every Christian is to act a part in sustaining this work. God is calling for men who will consecrate themselves to the work of soulsaving. When we begin to comprehend what a sacrifice Christ made in order to save a perishing world, there will be seen a mighty wrestling to save souls. Oh, that all our churches might see and realize the infinite sacrifice of Christ!

> „Živimo u posebnom razdoblju povijesti ove zemlje. Veliko djelo mora se izvršiti u vrlo kratkom vremenu, i svaki kršćanin treba odigrati svoju ulogu u podupiranju toga djela. Bog poziva ljude koji će se posvetiti djelu spašavanja duša. Kada počnemo shvaćati kakvu je žrtvu Krist podnio da bi spasio svijet koji propada, vidjet će se silna borba za spašavanje duša. O, kad bi sve naše crkve mogle vidjeti i spoznati beskonačnu Kristovu žrtvu!“

> “In visions of the night, representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God’s people. Many were praising God. The sick were healed, and other miracles were wrought. A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was manifested before the great Day of Pentecost. Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest. On every side doors were thrown open to the proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lightened with the heavenly influence. Great blessings were received by the true and humble people of God. I heard voices of thanksgiving and praise, and there seemed to be a reformation such as we witnessed in 1844.

> „U noćnim viđenjima prolazili su preda mnom prizori velikoga reformatorskog pokreta među Božjim narodom. Mnogi su slavili Boga. Bolesni su bili iscjeljivani, i događala su se druga čudesa. Vidio se duh posredničke molitve, kao što se očitovao prije velikoga dana Pedesetnice. Stotine i tisuće viđene su kako posjećuju obitelji i pred njima otvaraju riječ Božju. Srca su bila osvjedočena silom Duha Svetoga, i očitovao se duh istinskoga obraćenja. Sa svih su se strana vrata širom otvarala za navješćivanje istine. Činilo se da je svijet obasjan nebeskim utjecajem. Veliki su blagoslovi bili primljeni od pravoga i poniznoga Božjeg naroda. Čula sam glasove zahvaljivanja i hvale, i činilo se da se zbiva reforma nalik onoj kojoj smo svjedočili 1844. godine.“

> “Yet some refused to be converted. They were not willing to walk in God’s way, and when, in order that the work of God might be advanced, calls were made for freewill offerings, some clung selfishly to their earthly possessions. These covetous ones became separated from the company of believers.

> “Ipak, neki su odbili obratiti se. Nisu bili voljni hoditi Božjim putem, a kada su, kako bi Božje djelo moglo napredovati, bili upućeni pozivi za dragovoljne prinose, neki su se sebično držali svojih zemaljskih dobara. Ti lakomci odvojili su se od zajednice vjernika.

> “The judgments of God are in the earth, and, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, we must give the message of warning that He has entrusted to us. We must give this message quickly, line upon line, precept upon precept. Men will soon be forced to great decisions, and it is our duty to see that they are given an opportunity to understand the truth, that they may take their stand intelligently on the right side. The Lord calls upon His people to labor—labor earnestly and wisely—while probation lingers.” Testimonies, volume 9, 126.

> „Božji su sudovi na zemlji i, pod utjecajem Duha Svetoga, moramo objaviti poruku upozorenja koju nam je On povjerio. Tu poruku moramo objaviti brzo, redak po redak, pravilo po pravilo. Ljudi će uskoro biti prisiljeni donijeti velike odluke, i naša je dužnost pobrinuti se da im se pruži prilika razumjeti istinu, kako bi mogli razumno zauzeti svoje mjesto na pravoj strani. Gospodin poziva svoj narod da radi — da radi ozbiljno i mudro — dok još traje vrijeme milosti.” Testimonies, volume 9, 126.
