On page 81 of Early Writings (and “81” is a symbol of one divine High Priest and eighty priests), William Miller’s second dream is recorded. Like unto Nebuchadnezzar, William Miller had two dreams. Nebuchadnezzar’s second dream in chapter four of Daniel, is set within the context of Moses’ “seven times” of Leviticus 26. Miller employed Daniel chapter four to illustrate Leviticus twenty-six’s “seven times” when he taught the 2,520, though he called it the “seven times.” Miller did not recognize that he had been typified by Nebuchadnezzar, but Nebuchadnezzar’s 2,520 days in chapter four, is represented by both the word “scatter” and the fact that it occurs ‘seven times,’ before the dirt brush man arrived in Miller’s dream.

Na 81. stranici knjige Early Writings (a „81“ je simbol jednoga božanskog Velikog svećenika i osamdesetorice svećenika) zabilježen je drugi san Williama Millera. Kao Nebukadnezar, William Miller imao je dva sna. Nebukadnezarov drugi san u četvrtom poglavlju Daniela smješten je u kontekst Mojsijevih „sedam vremena“ iz Levitskog zakonika 26. Miller se služio četvrtim poglavljem Daniela kako bi prikazao „sedam vremena“ iz dvadeset i šestog poglavlja Levitskog zakonika kada je naučavao o 2.520, premda ga je nazivao „sedam vremena“. Miller nije prepoznao da je bio predočen Nebukadnezarom, ali Nebukadnezarovih 2.520 dana u četvrtom poglavlju predstavljeno je i riječju „rasijati“ i činjenicom da se javlja ‘sedam puta’, prije nego što je čovjek s četkom za prašinu stigao u Millerovu snu.

Miller is called “Father Miller” by Sister White, but not in the pagan way as Catholics do, but in a patriarchal way, like unto father Abraham. Miller is a symbol, he is a covenant man, representing the chain of biblical symbols along the path to the final covenant with the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Joel informs us that in the last days, the old men would dream dreams, and William Miller is the old man of our history, and also the farmer that fulfilled William Tyndale’s prophecy that states, “If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough shall know more of the Scripture than thou dost.”

Sestra White naziva Millera „ocem Millerom“, ali ne na poganski način kao katolici, nego na patrijarhalan način, poput oca Abrahama. Miller je simbol; on je čovjek saveza, koji predstavlja lanac biblijskih simbola duž puta prema konačnom savezu sa sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Joel nas obavještava da će u posljednjim danima starci sanjati sne, a William Miller je starac naše povijesti, a također i orač koji je ispunio proročanstvo Williama Tyndalea koje glasi: „Ako mi Bog poštedi život, prije nego prođu mnoge godine učinit ću da dječak koji tjera plug zna više o Pismu nego ti.“

> “God sent His angel to move upon the heart of a farmer who had not believed the Bible, to lead him to search the prophecies. Angels of God repeatedly visited that chosen one, to guide his mind and open to his understanding prophecies which had ever been dark to God’s people. The commencement of the chain of truth was given to him, and he was led on to search for link after link, until he looked with wonder and admiration upon the Word of God. He saw there a perfect chain of truth. That Word which he had regarded as uninspired now opened before his vision in its beauty and glory. He saw that one portion of Scripture explains another, and when one passage was closed to his understanding, he found in another part of the Word that which explained it. He regarded the sacred Word of God with joy and with the deepest respect and awe.” Early Writings, 230.

> „Bog je poslao svojega anđela da djeluje na srce jednoga zemljoradnika koji nije vjerovao Bibliji, kako bi ga poveo da istražuje proročanstva. Anđeli Božji više su puta posjećivali toga izabranika da usmjere njegov um i otvore njegovu razumijevanju proročanstva koja su Božjem narodu oduvijek bila tamna. Njemu je dan početak lanca istine, i bio je vođen da traži kariku za karikom, sve dok s čuđenjem i divljenjem nije promatrao Božju Riječ. Ondje je vidio savršen lanac istine. Ta Riječ, koju je smatrao nenadahnutom, sada se pred njegovim pogledom otvorila u svojoj ljepoti i slavi. Vidio je da jedan dio Pisma objašnjava drugi, i kada je jedan odlomak bio zatvoren njegovu razumijevanju, u drugome je dijelu Riječi nalazio ono što ga je objašnjavalo. Svetu Riječ Božju promatrao je s radošću i s najdubljim poštovanjem i strahopoštovanjem.” Early Writings, 230.

Miller was the farmer who fulfilled Tyndale’s prophecy, and his first publication of the prophetic knowledge he had assembled from the unsealing of Daniel 8:14 was in 1831, two hundred and twenty years after the publication of the King James Version of the Bible. John Wycliff, William Tyndale and the publication of the King James Bible in 1611, represent three waymarks that begins the two-hundred-and-twenty-year prophecy that ends when Tyndale’s plow boy would open God’s Word to the first angel’s message, that was to be followed by two other angels. That first angel arrived in 1798 and the third in 1844. Wycliff, Tyndale and King James connect to the farmer who would fulfill Tyndale’s prediction, and who would symbolize the history of three angels from 1798 unto 1844.

Miller je bio seljak koji je ispunio Tyndaleovo proročanstvo, a njegovo prvo objavljivanje proročkog znanja koje je prikupio iz otpečaćenja Daniela 8,14 bilo je 1831. godine, dvjesto dvadeset godina nakon objavljivanja Biblije kralja Jakova. John Wycliff, William Tyndale i objavljivanje Biblije kralja Jakova 1611. godine predstavljaju tri putokaza koji započinju dvjestodvadesetgodišnje proročanstvo koje završava kada Tyndaleov oračev dječak otvara Božju Riječ poruci prvoga anđela, za kojom su trebala slijediti još dva anđela. Taj je prvi anđeo došao 1798., a treći 1844. godine. Wycliff, Tyndale i kralj Jakov povezani su sa seljakom koji će ispuniti Tyndaleovo predviđanje i koji će simbolizirati povijest triju anđela od 1798. do 1844. godine.

William Miller’s alpha discovery was the 2,520 years of Leviticus twenty-six and his omega discovery was the 2,300 years of Daniel 8:14. The 2,520 scattering of Judah began in 677 BC and ended in 1844. The 2,300 years of Daniel 8:14 ended in 1844. Both ended together in 1844, and the starting point of the alpha and omega discoveries of William Miller were separated by two hundred and twenty years. “Two hundred and twenty” is a symbol of William Miller, upon two witnesses. The alpha and omega discoveries of Miller are represented by 1798 and 1844. The 2,520 scattering against the northern kingdom ended in 1798, and forty-six years later in 1844 the 2,300 years ended.

Alfa otkriće Williama Millera bilo je 2.520 godina iz Levitskog zakonika dvadeset i šest, a njegovo omega otkriće bilo je 2.300 godina iz Daniela 8:14. Raspršenje Jude tijekom 2.520 godina započelo je 677. pr. Kr. i završilo 1844. godine. Dvije tisuće i tristo godina iz Daniela 8:14 završile su 1844. godine. Obje su završile zajedno 1844. godine, a početne točke alfa i omega otkrića Williama Millera bile su razdvojene za dvjesto i dvadeset godina. „Dvije stotine i dvadeset” simbol su Williama Millera, na temelju dvaju svjedoka. Millerova alfa i omega otkrića predstavljena su godinama 1798. i 1844. Raspršenje od 2.520 godina protiv sjevernoga kraljevstva završilo je 1798. godine, a četrdeset i šest godina kasnije, 1844., završilo je 2.300 godina.

The 2,520 years that ended in 1798, marks that date and the 2,520 years against Judah, which ended in 1844 produces a two-hundred-and-twenty-year period. This means the 2,520 against Israel produces the prophetic period of forty-six years, and the 2,520 against Judah produces the prophetic period of two hundred and twenty years. The alpha of that period is 677 BC and the omega is 457 BC, which means the alpha of the forty-six-year period and of the two-hundred-and-twenty-year period is represented by the 2,520, and the omega of both of the lines is the 2,300. The two “scatterings” of 2,520 years provide two witnesses of a period that begins with the 2,520 and ends with the 2,300. Both of those lines identify the alpha and omega discoveries of William Miller.

Dvije tisuće petsto dvadeset godina koje su završile 1798. obilježavaju taj datum, a dvije tisuće petsto dvadeset godina protiv Jude, koje su završile 1844., tvore razdoblje od dvjesto dvadeset godina. To znači da 2.520 protiv Izraela tvori proročko razdoblje od četrdeset i šest godina, a 2.520 protiv Jude tvori proročko razdoblje od dvjesto dvadeset godina. Alfa toga razdoblja jest 677. pr. Kr., a omega 457. pr. Kr., što znači da je alfa razdoblja od četrdeset i šest godina i razdoblja od dvjesto dvadeset godina predstavljena brojem 2.520, a omega obiju tih linija jest 2.300. Dva „rasijanja” od 2.520 godina pružaju dva svjedoka o razdoblju koje počinje s 2.520 i završava s 2.300. Obje te linije prepoznaju alfa i omega otkrića Williama Millera.

> “William Miller’s Dream

> „San Williama Millera”

> “I dreamed that God, by an unseen hand, sent me a curiously wrought casket about ten inches long by six square, made of ebony and pearls curiously inlaid. To the casket there was a key attached. I immediately took the key and opened the casket, when, to my wonder and surprise, I found it filled with all sorts and sizes of jewels, diamonds, precious stones, and gold and silver coin of every dimension and value, beautifully arranged in their several places in the casket; and thus arranged they reflected a light and glory equaled only to the sun.

> „Usnio sam da mi je Bog, nevidljivom rukom, poslao neobično izrađen kovčežić, dug oko deset palaca, a širok i dubok po šest, načinjen od ebanovine i bisera, umiješno optočen. Uz kovčežić je bio pričvršćen ključ. Odmah sam uzeo ključ i otvorio kovčežić te, na svoje čuđenje i zaprepaštenje, našao da je ispunjen svakovrsnim i raznoveličnim draguljima, dijamantima, dragim kamenjem te zlatnim i srebrnim novcem svake veličine i vrijednosti, lijepo poredanim na svojim mjestima u kovčežiću; a tako poredani odražavali su svjetlost i slavu kojoj je jedino sunce bilo ravno.

> “I thought it was not my duty to enjoy this wonderful sight alone, although my heart was overjoyed at the brilliancy, beauty, and value of its contents. I therefore placed it on a center table in my room and gave out word that all who had a desire might come and see the most glorious and brilliant sight ever seen by man in this life.

> „Mislila sam da nije moja dužnost uživati sama u ovom divnom prizoru, premda je moje srce bilo prepuno radosti zbog sjaja, ljepote i vrijednosti njegova sadržaja. Stoga sam ga stavila na središnji stol u svojoj sobi i razglasila da svi koji to žele mogu doći i vidjeti najslavniji i najsjajniji prizor koji je čovjek ikada vidio u ovom životu.

> “The people began to come in, at first few in number, but increasing to a crowd. When they first looked into the casket, they would wonder and shout for joy. But when the spectators increased, everyone would begin to trouble the jewels, taking them out of the casket and scattering them on the table.

> Narod je počeo pristizati, isprva malobrojan, ali se njihov broj povećavao sve do mnoštva. Kad bi prvi put pogledali u kovčežić, začudili bi se i uskliknuli od radosti. No kad se broj promatrača povećao, svi bi počeli dirati dragulje, vaditi ih iz kovčežića i razasipati ih po stolu.

> “I began to think that the owner would require the casket and the jewels again at my hand; and if I suffered them to be scattered, I could never place them in their places in the casket again as before; and felt I should never be able to meet the accountability, for it would be immense. I then began to plead with the people not to handle them, nor to take them out of the casket; but the more I pleaded, the more they scattered; and now they seemed to scatter them all over the room, on the floor and on every piece of furniture in the room.

> „Počela sam misliti da će vlasnik ponovno tražiti kovčežić i dragulje iz moje ruke; i ako dopustim da se rasprše, više ih nikada neću moći vratiti na njihova mjesta u kovčežiću kao prije; i osjećala sam da se nikada neću moći suočiti s odgovornošću, jer bi bila golema. Tada sam počela moliti ljude da ih ne diraju niti da ih vade iz kovčežića; ali što sam ih više molila, to su ih više razasipali; a sada se činilo da ih razasipaju po svoj sobi, po podu i po svakom komadu namještaja u sobi.“

> “I then saw that among the genuine jewels and coin they had scattered an innumerable quantity of spurious jewels and counterfeit coin. I was highly incensed at their base conduct and ingratitude, and reproved and reproached them for it; but the more I reproved, the more they scattered the spurious jewels and false coin among the genuine.

> “Tada sam vidio da su među prave dragulje i novac razasuli nebrojenu količinu lažnih dragulja i krivotvorena novca. Bio sam silno ogorčen zbog njihova podlog postupka i nezahvalnosti te sam ih zbog toga ukorio i prekorio; ali što sam ih više korio, to su više među prave dragulje i pravi novac razasipali lažne dragulje i krivotvoren novac.”

> “I then became vexed in my physical soul and began to use physical force to push them out of the room; but while I was pushing out one, three more would enter and bring in dirt and shavings and sand and all manner of rubbish, until they covered every one of the true jewels, diamonds, and coins, which were all excluded from sight. They also tore in pieces my casket and scattered it among the rubbish. I thought no man regarded my sorrow or my anger. I became wholly discouraged and disheartened, and sat down and wept.

> „Tada sam se uznemirio u svojoj tjelesnoj duši i počeo upotrebljavati tjelesnu silu da ih istjeram iz sobe; no dok bih jednoga istjerivao, trojica bi druga ulazila i unosila prljavštinu i strugotine i pijesak i svakojako smeće, sve dok nisu prekrili sve prave dragulje, dijamante i novčiće, tako da su svi bili uklonjeni iz vida. Također su raskomadali moju škrinjicu i razasuli je među smećem. Mislio sam da nitko ne mari za moju tugu ni za moj gnjev. Postao sam posve obeshrabren i klonuo duhom te sjeo i zaplakao.

> “While I was thus weeping and mourning for my great loss and accountability, I remembered God, and earnestly prayed that He would send me help.

> „Dok sam tako plakao i tugovao zbog svojega velikog gubitka i odgovornosti, sjetih se Boga i usrdno se molih da mi pošalje pomoć.״

> “Immediately the door opened, and a man entered the room, when the people all left it; and he, having a dirt brush in his hand, opened the windows, and began to brush the dirt and rubbish from the room.

> „Odmah su se vrata otvorila i jedan je čovjek ušao u sobu, kada su je svi ljudi napustili; i on je, držeći u ruci četku za prašinu, otvorio prozore te počeo iz sobe čistiti prašinu i smeće.

> “I cried to him to forbear, for there were some precious jewels scattered among the rubbish.

> „Zavapila sam mu da se suzdrži, jer je među ruševinama bilo razasuto nekoliko dragocjenih dragulja.״

> “He told me to ‘fear not,’ for he would ‘take care of them’.

> Rekao mi je: „Ne boj se“, jer će se „pobrinuti za njih“.

> “Then, while he brushed the dirt and rubbish, false jewels and counterfeit coin, all rose and went out of the window like a cloud, and the wind carried them away. In the bustle I closed my eyes for a moment; when I opened them, the rubbish was all gone. The precious jewels, the diamonds, the gold and silver coins, lay scattered in profusion all over the room.

> „Tada je, dok je čistio prašinu i smeće, lažne dragulje i krivotvoreni novac, sve to ustalo i izišlo kroz prozor poput oblaka, a vjetar ih je odnio. U toj strci na trenutak sam sklopila oči; kad sam ih otvorila, smeća više nije bilo. Dragocjeni dragulji, dijamanti, zlatnici i srebrnjaci ležali su u obilju razasuti po cijeloj prostoriji.

> “He then placed on the table a casket, much larger and more beautiful than the former, and gathered up the jewels, the diamonds, the coins, by the handful, and cast them into the casket, till not one was left, although some of the diamonds were not bigger than the point of a pin.

> „Zatim je na stol stavio kovčežić, mnogo veći i ljepši od prijašnjega, te je skupljao dragulje, dijamante, kovanice, pregrštima ih uzimao i ubacivao u kovčežić, dok nije ostao ni jedan, premda neki od dijamanata nisu bili veći od vrha igle.“

> “He then called upon me to ‘come and see.’

> „Zatim me pozvao da ‘dođem i vidim.’“

> “I looked into the casket, but my eyes were dazzled with the sight. They shone with ten times their former glory. I thought they had been scoured in the sand by the feet of those wicked persons who had scattered and trod them in the dust. They were arranged in beautiful order in the casket, everyone in its place, without any visible pains of the man who cast them in. I shouted with very joy, and that shout awoke me.” Early Writings, 81–83.

> „Pogledala sam u kovčeg, ali oči su mi bile zaslijepljene tim prizorom. Sjale su deset puta većom slavom nego prije. Mislila sam da su ih u pijesku izglancala stopala onih opakih osoba koje su ih razasule i pogazile u prah. Bile su složene u prekrasnom redu u kovčegu, svaka na svome mjestu, bez ikakva vidljiva traga napora čovjeka koji ih je ondje položio. Povikala sam od same radosti, i taj me povik probudio.” Early Writings, 81–83.

Beginning on page “81,” a symbol of the priests, the dream identifies the history of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church’s work of destroying the foundational truths assembled by Divinity through the humanity of William Miller. The history ends when Miller “shouted with very joy” and the shout “awoke” him. The history represented in the dream concludes at the loud cry of the third angel, which is the climax of the Midnight Cry. The historical narrative of Miller’s dream also represents the waymarks of the Millerite history, and it therefore also represents the parallel history of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Just as significant is that the dream’s historical representation also contains a prophetic fractal of the history that began to repeat in 2023.

Počevši od stranice „81“, kao simbol svećenikâ, san prepoznaje povijest djela laodicejske crkve adventista sedmoga dana koja razara temeljne istine što ih je Božanstvo sastavilo posredstvom čovještva Williama Millera. Ta povijest završava kada je Miller „povikao od same radosti“, a taj ga je povik „probudio“. Povijest prikazana u snu doseže svoj zaključak pri glasnom vapaju trećega anđela, koji je vrhunac Ponoćnog poklika. Povijesni prikaz Millerova sna također predstavlja putokaze milleritske povijesti te stoga predstavlja i usporednu povijest pokreta sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Jednako je značajno i to što povijesni prikaz sna u sebi sadrži i proročki fraktal povijesti koja se počela ponavljati 2023. godine.

The jewels of truth that were recognized in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand were placed into the public record in 2004 and then again in 2012, when the presentation of Habakkuk’s Tables gathered a group that was destined to be scattered. Those truths were set upon the table in 2004, with the first presentation of the truths which had been unsealed in 1989. A “few” considered the message then, but in 2012, the series of 95 presentations titled Habakkuk’s Tables brought in a crowd, for the “people began to come in, at first few in number, but increasing to a crowd.”

Dragulji istine koji su bili prepoznati u povijesti sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće bili su uneseni u javni zapis 2004. godine, a zatim ponovno 2012., kada je izlaganje Habakukovih tablica okupilo skupinu kojoj je bilo suđeno da bude raspršena. Te su istine bile postavljene na stol 2004. godine, pri prvom izlaganju istina koje su bile odpečaćene 1989. godine. Tada je „nekolicina” razmatrala poruku, ali 2012. niz od 95 izlaganja pod naslovom Habakukove tablice doveo je mnoštvo, jer je „narod počeo dolaziti, isprva malobrojan, ali rastući u mnoštvo.”

From 2012 unto July 18, 2020 those truths were progressively scattered and covered with rubbish. On July 18, 2020, the proponents of the message of Habakkuk’s Tables were scattered for a period of three and a half days.

Od 2012. do 18. srpnja 2020. te su istine postupno bile raspršene i prekrivene ruševinama. Dana 18. srpnja 2020. zagovornici poruke Habakukovih ploča bili su raspršeni za razdoblje od tri i pol dana.

> And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. Revelation 11:7–10.

> I kad svrše svoje svjedočanstvo, zvijer što izlazi iz bezdana zaratit će protiv njih, i nadvladat će ih, i ubiti ih. I njihova će mrtva tjelesa ležati na ulici velikoga grada, koji se duhovno zove Sodoma i Egipat, gdje je i Gospodin naš bio razapet. I ljudi iz pukova i plemena i jezika i naroda gledat će njihova mrtva tjelesa tri dana i pol i neće dopustiti da se njihova mrtva tjelesa polože u grobove. I oni koji prebivaju na zemlji radovat će se nad njima i veseliti se, i slat će darove jedni drugima, jer su ta dva proroka mučila one koji prebivaju na zemlji. Otkrivenje 11:7–10.

On Sabbath, December 30, 2023 Future for America joined a zoom meeting for its first public meeting since July 18, 2020. December 30, 2023 is 1,260 days after July 18, 2020, or “three days and an half.” While Elijah and Moses were dead in the street, the other class is “rejoicing.” Future for America had returned to publishing the prophetic message in July of 2023, for the message that was then to go to the entire earth, would of prophetic necessity need to come from the “wilderness.” Three and a half days, or 1,260 days are a wilderness.

U subotu, 30. prosinca 2023., Future for America pridružio se sastanku putem Zooma na svojem prvom javnom okupljanju od 18. srpnja 2020. godine. Dana 30. prosinca 2023. navršava se 1.260 dana nakon 18. srpnja 2020., odnosno „tri i pol dana”. Dok su Ilija i Mojsije bili mrtvi na ulici, drugi razred se „veseli”. Future for America vratio se objavljivanju proročke poruke u srpnju 2023., jer je poruka koja je tada trebala poći po cijeloj zemlji, po proročkoj nužnosti morala doći iz „pustinje”. Tri i pol dana, ili 1.260 dana, jesu pustinja.

> And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. Revelation 12:6.

> I žena pobježe u pustinju, gdje ima mjesto pripravljeno od Boga, da je ondje hrane tisuću dvjesto i šezdeset dana. Otkrivenje 12,6.

The “wilderness” is “a thousand two hundred and threescore days,” which is 1,260 days, which is also “three days and a half,” and is represented in Revelation 12:6, and “126” is a tithe of 1,260. One of the amazing truths that was then unsealed was the need of repentance in fulfillment of the prayer of the “seven times” in Leviticus twenty-six.

„Pustinja” je „tisuću dvjesto i šezdeset dana”, što je 1.260 dana, što je također „tri dana i pol”, i prikazana je u Otkrivenju 12,6, a „126” je desetina od 1.260. Jedna od zadivljujućih istina koje su tada bile odpečaćene bila je potreba za pokajanjem kao ispunjenje molitve o „sedam vremena” u Levitskom zakoniku dvadeset i šest.

1,260 days is also a symbol of 2,520 days. The “seven times” against the northern kingdom began in 723 BC and ended in 1798. The midpoint is 538, thus creating 1,260 years that paganism trampled down the sanctuary and host followed by 1,260 that papalism trampled down the sanctuary and host. This prophetic structure is aligned with the 1,260 days from Christ’s baptism to the cross, that is followed by 1,260 prophetic days unto 34 AD, when the gospel went to the Gentiles. Thus, upon two witnesses 1,260 is part of 2,520 days, or Moses’ “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six.

1.260 dana također je simbol 2.520 dana. „Sedam vremena“ protiv sjevernoga kraljevstva započelo je 723. pr. Kr. i završilo 1798. Sredina je 538., stvarajući tako 1.260 godina tijekom kojih je poganstvo gazilo Svetište i vojsku, nakon čega slijedi 1.260 godina tijekom kojih je papinstvo gazilo Svetište i vojsku. Ova proročka struktura usklađena je s 1.260 dana od Kristova krštenja do križa, nakon čega slijedi 1.260 proročkih dana do 34. godine po. Kr., kada je evanđelje otišlo k poganima. Tako je, na temelju dva svjedoka, 1.260 dio 2.520 dana, odnosno Mojsijevih „sedam vremena“ iz Levitskoga zakonika dvadeset šest.

The voice in the wilderness period beginning on Sabbath, July 18, 2020 unto Sabbath, December 30, 2023 began to cry in July of 2023, and when the “wilderness” period ended on Sabbath, December 30, 2023 the resurrection of Moses and Elijah arrived. The message of the voice identified that the waymark of the parallel first disappointments in every reform movement explained the false prediction of July 18, 2020, in the context of the parable of the ten virgins. It called men and women to the repentance represented by the Leviticus twenty-six prayer. Miller’s dream represents that very repentance when he records, “While I was thus weeping and mourning for my great loss and accountability, I remembered God, and earnestly prayed that He would send me help.”

Razdoblje glasa u pustinji, koje je započelo u subotu, 18. srpnja 2020., i trajalo do subote, 30. prosinca 2023., počelo je vikati u srpnju 2023., a kada je „pustinjsko” razdoblje završilo u subotu, 30. prosinca 2023., nastupilo je uskrsnuće Mojsija i Ilije. Poruka glasa prepoznala je da putokaz usporednih prvih razočaranja u svakom reformnom pokretu objašnjava lažno predviđanje od 18. srpnja 2020. u kontekstu prispodobe o deset djevica. Pozivala je muškarce i žene na pokajanje predstavljeno molitvom iz dvadeset i šestog poglavlja Levitskog zakonika. Millerov san predstavlja upravo to pokajanje kada bilježi: „Dok sam tako plakao i tugovao zbog svojega velikog gubitka i odgovornosti, sjetio sam se Boga i usrdno molio da mi pošalje pomoć.”

## Come and See

Dođi i vidi

Miller’s dream is divided by two expressions of “come and see.” The first time Miller invites people to “come and see,” and the second time the “dirt brush man” invites Miller to come and see. “Come and see” is a prophetic symbol that identifies a prophetic truth that is unsealed. The first four seals each contain the command to “come and see.”

Millerov san podijeljen je dvama izrazima „dođi i vidi“. Prvi put Miller poziva ljude da „dođu i vide“, a drugi put „čovjek s četkom za prašinu“ poziva Millera da dođe i vidi. „Dođi i vidi“ proročki je simbol koji označuje proročku istinu koja je otpečaćena. Svaki od prva četiri pečata sadrži zapovijed „dođi i vidi“.

> And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. … And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. … And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. … And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. Revelation 6:1, 3, 5, 7.

> I vidjeh kad Jaganjac otvori jedan od pečata, i začuh, kao huku groma, jednu od četiriju životinja gdje govori: Dođi i vidi. … A kad otvori drugi pečat, začuh drugu životinju gdje govori: Dođi i vidi. … A kad otvori treći pečat, začuh treću životinju gdje govori: Dođi i vidi. … A kad otvori četvrti pečat, začuh glas četvrte životinje gdje govori: Dođi i vidi. Otkrivenje 6:1, 3, 5, 7.

The “come and see” in the beginning of Miller’s dream is the alpha and the ending “come and see” is the omega. The dream identifies the unsealing in the beginning of the dream as jewels that when “arranged they reflected a light and glory equaled only to the sun.” When Christ invited Miller to “come and see” the omega, Miller says, “my eyes were dazzled with the sight. They shone with ten times their former glory.” The alpha light was as the sun and the omega light was ten times the sun.

„Dođi i vidi“ na početku Millerova sna jest alfa, a završno „dođi i vidi“ jest omega. San poistovjećuje otpečaćenje na početku sna s draguljima koji su, kada su „bili složeni, odražavali svjetlost i slavu kojoj je jedino sunce bilo ravno“. Kada je Krist pozvao Millera da „dođi i vidi“ omegu, Miller kaže: „moje su oči bile zaslijepljene tim prizorom. Sjale su deset puta većom slavom nego prije.“ Svjetlost alfe bila je kao sunce, a svjetlost omege bila je deset puta jača od sunca.

## Scatter

Rasprši

Miller’s mourning and repentance is represented at the end of the period that began with the first “come and see,” and the last “come and see.” In the period which begins with Miller’s unsealing a message to the people and then ends with Christ unsealing a message to Miller, the word “scatter” is represented “seven times.” Miller will use the word again, but between the first and last unsealing, “scatter” is expressed “seven times.” The Bible identifies the judgment of the “seven times” with the word, “scatter.”

Millerovo tugovanje i pokajanje prikazano je na kraju razdoblja koje je započelo prvim „dođi i vidi” i posljednjim „dođi i vidi”. U razdoblju koje počinje time što Miller narodu otpečaćuje poruku, a zatim završava time što Krist Milleru otpečaćuje poruku, riječ „rasijati” prikazana je „sedam puta”. Miller će ponovno upotrijebiti tu riječ, ali između prvog i posljednjeg otpečaćenja „rasijati” se izražava „sedam puta”. Biblija poistovjećuje sud „sedam puta” s riječju „rasijati”.

> And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. Leviticus 26:33.

> I raspršit ću vas među pogane i izvući mač za vama; i zemlja će vaša opustjeti, a gradovi vaši postati pustoš. Levitski zakonik 26,33.

The very first truth Miller discovered was the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six, and in his dream the period between Miller’s message being published and Christ’s message being published, all the foundational truths represented by the work of William Miller were to be covered with the rubbish and counterfeit coins of the theologians of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism. That rejection of the foundational truths is represented as seven scatterings within the history between the alpha and omega. The “seven times” is a symbol of the work of William Miller, which in turn are the foundations of Seventh-day Adventism, of which; the 2,300 days of Daniel 8:14 are the central pillar of that very foundation. What this identifies is that the 2,520 years of scattering that was the first, or alpha discovery of William Miller marks the beginning of a period, that ended with the omega discovery of William Miller, which was the 2,300 days.

Prva istina koju je Miller otkrio bila su „sedam vremena” iz Levitskog zakonika dvadeset i šest, a u njegovu snu razdoblje između objavljivanja Millerove poruke i objavljivanja Kristove poruke trebalo je biti takvo da sve temeljne istine, predstavljene djelom Williama Millera, budu prekrivene smećem i krivotvorenim novcem teologa laodicejskog adventizma sedmoga dana. To odbacivanje temeljnih istina prikazano je kao sedam raspršenja unutar povijesti između alfe i omege. „Sedam vremena” simbol su djela Williama Millera, koja su ujedno temelji adventizma sedmoga dana, od kojih su 2.300 dana iz Daniela 8:14 središnji stup upravo toga temelja. Ono što se time utvrđuje jest da 2.520 godina raspršenja, koje su bile prvo, ili alfa-otkriće Williama Millera, označavaju početak razdoblja koje je završilo omega-otkrićem Williama Millera, a to je bilo 2.300 dana.

When Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism set aside the “seven times” in 1863, they set aside William Miller’s first discovery, which would be his alpha discovery and his foundational discovery. The last of Miller’s discoveries was the 2,300 days, which was his omega discovery and his capstone discovery. The “seven times” that concluded in 1798 marked the 2,520 and the 2,300 days were marked in 1844.

Kada je laodicejski adventizam sedmoga dana 1863. godine stavio po strani „sedam vremena“, stavio je po strani prvo otkriće Williama Millera, koje je bilo njegovo alfa-otkriće i njegovo temeljno otkriće. Posljednje od Millerovih otkrića bilo je 2.300 dana, što je bilo njegovo omega-otkriće i njegovo krunsko otkriće. „Sedam vremena“, koja su završila 1798. godine, označavala su 2.520, a 2.300 dana bilo je označeno 1844. godine.

It is the dirt brush man who assembles the jewels after they are scattered for seven times. Then the casket is larger and more beautiful and shines ten times brighter than the sun. Ten is a symbol of a test, and those jewels therefore shine at the test over the day of the sun, so Miller’s dream begins in 1798 and ends at the loud cry of the third angel at the Sunday law.

Čovjek s četkom za prašinu jest onaj koji skuplja dragulje nakon što su bili rasuti sedam puta. Tada je škrinjica veća i ljepša te sjaji deset puta jače od sunca. Deset je simbol kušnje, i stoga ti dragulji sjaje u kušnji nad danom sunca, pa Millerov san započinje 1798. godine i završava glasnim poklikom trećega anđela pri nedjeljnom zakonu.

The history of the Millerites from 1798 unto 1863 is also the history from 1798 until the soon-coming Sunday law. The history represented in William Miller’s dream that occurs between Miller saying “come and see” unto the Dirt Brush man saying “come and see,” is both the period of 1798 unto 1863, and also the period of 1798 unto the Sunday law. The line that ends in 1863 is a prophetic fractal of the line that begins in 1798 and ends at the Sunday law. Both those lines are represented in Miller’s dream.

Povijest milerita od 1798. do 1863. također je povijest od 1798. do uskoro dolazećeg nedjeljnog zakona. Povijest prikazana u snu Williama Millera, koja se odvija između trenutka kada Miller kaže „dođi i vidi” i trenutka kada čovjek s četkom za prljavštinu kaže „dođi i vidi”, jest i razdoblje od 1798. do 1863., a također i razdoblje od 1798. do nedjeljnog zakona. Linija koja završava 1863. proročki je fraktal linije koja započinje 1798. i završava nedjeljnim zakonom. Obje su te linije prikazane u Millerovu snu.

The closed door on October 22, 1844 typifies the closed door at the Sunday law. The prophecy of 2,300 years that was fulfilled in 1844, typifies the Sunday law.

Zatvorena vrata 22. listopada 1844. predočuju zatvorena vrata u vrijeme zakona o nedjelji. Proročanstvo o 2.300 godina, koje se ispunilo 1844., predočuje zakon o nedjelji.

> “The coming of Christ as our high priest to the most holy place, for the cleansing of the sanctuary, brought to view in Daniel 8:14; the coming of the Son of man to the Ancient of Days, as presented in Daniel 7:13; and the coming of the Lord to His temple, foretold by Malachi, are descriptions of the same event; and this is also represented by the coming of the bridegroom to the marriage, described by Christ in the parable of the ten virgins, of Matthew 25.” The Great Controversy, 426.

> „Dolazak Krista kao našega velikoga svećenika u Svetinju nad svetinjama radi očišćenja Svetišta, prikazan u Danielu 8,14; dolazak Sina Čovječjega k Pradavnome, kako je iznesen u Danielu 7,13; i dolazak Gospodnji u Njegov hram, prorečen po Malahiji, opisi su istoga događaja; a to je također predočeno dolaskom zaručnika na svadbu, koji je Krist opisao u prispodobi o deset djevica u Mateju 25.“ Velika borba, 426.

## Lines

Redci

The omega of Miller’s discoveries was the 2,300-year prophecy, so both 1844 and the Sunday law are represented by the 2,300 years. This means that the 2,520 is the alpha and the 2,300 is the omega of both lines; one line concludes in 1863, and the other line concludes at the Sunday law. On both lines the 2,520 prophecy is the alpha, and or the foundation stone. The fractal of 1798 unto 1863 in the foundational history of the Millerites, also aligns with another fractal in the omega, capstone history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Omega Millerovih otkrića bilo je proročanstvo o 2.300 godina, stoga su i 1844. godina i zakon o nedjelji predstavljeni s 2.300 godina. To znači da je 2.520 alfa, a 2.300 omega obiju linija; jedna linija završava 1863., a druga linija završava kod zakona o nedjelji. U objema linijama proročanstvo o 2.520 jest alfa, odnosno kamen temeljac. Fraktal od 1798. do 1863. u temeljnoj povijesti milerita također je usklađen s drugim fraktalom u omega, zaglavnoj povijesti sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

At 9/11 God called His people to return to Jeremiah’s old paths, which are the foundations, which are in turn represented by the messenger of the foundational history, who is in turn represented by his foundational alpha discovery of the “seven times.” The “seven times” is the symbol of the foundations of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and at 9/11 the sealing of that group began with the testing message of the foundations, represented by the very first foundational truth of William Miller and Adventism. At 9/11 the sealing time began and at the soon-coming Sunday law the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand concludes.

Na 11. rujna Bog je pozvao svoj narod da se vrati starim putovima Jeremijinim, koji su temelji, a oni su pak predstavljeni glasnikom temeljne povijesti, koji je opet predstavljen svojim temeljnim alfa-otkrićem „sedam vremena”. „Sedam vremena” simbol je temelja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, a 11. rujna zapečaćivanje te skupine započelo je porukom kušnje o temeljima, predstavljenom samom prvom temeljnom istinom Williama Millera i adventizma. Dana 11. rujna započelo je vrijeme zapečaćivanja, a pri uskoro nadolazećem nedjeljnom zakonu vrijeme zapečaćivanja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće završava.

That history is a fractal that begins with 2,520 and ends with 2,300, and that history is therefore the third line of prophetic history represented in William Miller’s dream. The 2,520 was fulfilled in 1798 and the 2,300 in 1844. The work represented by the two lines is the work of Christ in combining His divinity with our humanity. It is the work of changing a sinner into a saint, restoring the higher nature to its rightful throne over the lower nature. For this reason, the human body takes 2,520 days to totally reproduce every cell in the body, and that very same body is based upon 23 male chromosomes combined with 23 female chromosomes. Together they produce a living temple, which is represented as the number “46,” which is the period of 1798 to 1844, which is the period of William Miller’s dream from the 2,520 in 1798 unto the 2,300 in 1844.

Ta je povijest fraktal koji započinje s 2.520 i završava s 2.300, te je stoga ta povijest treća linija proročke povijesti predstavljena u snu Williama Millera. Broj 2.520 ispunio se 1798., a 2.300 1844. Djelo predstavljeno tim dvjema linijama jest Kristovo djelo u sjedinjenju svojega božanstva s našom ljudskom naravi. To je djelo preobrazbe grešnika u sveca, obnavljanja više naravi na njezino zakonito prijestolje nad nižom naravi. Zbog toga ljudskome tijelu treba 2.520 dana da u potpunosti obnovi svaku stanicu u tijelu, a to isto tijelo temelji se na 23 muška kromosoma sjedinjena s 23 ženska kromosoma. Zajedno oni tvore živi hram, koji je predstavljen brojem „46“, što je razdoblje od 1798. do 1844., što je razdoblje sna Williama Millera od 2.520 u 1798. do 2.300 u 1844.

William Miller’s dream also contains another fractal of note. From 9/11 unto the Sunday law is a fractal of 1798 unto the Sunday law, as in 1798 unto 1863. 2023 unto the Sunday law is a fractal of 9/11 unto the Sunday law, and this is the history that all of the lines within Miller’s dream point to as the omega of them all. This is the period where the original truths are magnified ten times the sun.

San Williama Millera također sadrži još jedan značajan fraktal. Razdoblje od 11. rujna do nedjeljnog zakona fraktal je razdoblja od 1798. do nedjeljnog zakona, kao od 1798. do 1863. Razdoblje od 2023. do nedjeljnog zakona fraktal je razdoblja od 11. rujna do nedjeljnog zakona, i to je povijest na koju upućuju sve linije unutar Millerova sna kao na njihovu svu omegu. To je razdoblje u kojem su izvorne istine uvećane deset puta više od sunca.

## The Two Bustles

Dvije turnire

In the 1840’s, the word “bustle” (as a noun) commonly meant energetic, busy, or noisy activity—often with a sense of fuss, excitement, hurry, or agitation. It referred to lively movement, commotion, or bustling about, whether in a crowd, a household, a marketplace, or during a particular event. The “bustle” of Miller’s dream would thus describe the immediate flurry of activity, excitement, or urgent business happening right then—the transient stir or commotion of the present situation or occasion.

Četrdesetih godina 19. stoljeća riječ „bustle” (kao imenica) uobičajeno je značila energičnu, užurbanu ili bučnu djelatnost—često s prizvukom strke, uzbuđenja, žurbe ili uznemirenosti. Odnosila se na živahno kretanje, metež ili užurbano kretanje amo-tamo, bilo u mnoštvu, kućanstvu, na tržnici ili tijekom nekoga posebnog događaja. „Bustle” iz Millerova sna stoga bi opisivao neposredan nalet aktivnosti, uzbuđenja ili hitnih poslova koji se upravo tada odvijaju—prolazno komešanje ili metež sadašnje situacije ili prigode.

Miller states, “Then, while he brushed the dirt and rubbish, false jewels and counterfeit coin, all rose and went out of the window like a cloud, and the wind carried them away. In the bustle I closed my eyes for a moment; when I opened them, the rubbish was all gone.”

Miller kaže: „Zatim, dok je čistio prašinu i smeće, lažni dragulji i krivotvoren novac svi su se podigli i izišli kroz prozor poput oblaka, a vjetar ih je odnio. U toj vrevi na trenutak sam sklopio oči; kad sam ih otvorio, svega smeća više nije bilo.”

The “bustle” identifies two points in Miller’s dream; The first when the crowd is scattering the jewels, and then when the dirt brush man opens the windows and begins to sweep out the false jewels. The first and alpha bustle is the covering up of the jewels and the second and omega bustle is the restoration of the jewels. During the bustle, Miller closed his eyes. Miller was laid to rest in 1849, the very point that Christ was stretching forth His hand a second time to gather the remnant of His people. Miller then closed his eyes, and in 1850 his truths were again placed upon a table in fulfillment of Habakkuk’s command to write the vision and make it plain. That bustle period, Miller closes his eyes and when he awakes the jewels are in the process of being restored.

„Vreva” označava dvije točke u Millerovu snu; prvu kada mnoštvo razasipa dragulje, a zatim drugu kada čovjek s četkom za prašinu otvara prozore i počinje mesti lažne dragulje. Prva i alfa-vreva jest prekrivanje dragulja, a druga i omega-vreva jest obnova dragulja. Tijekom vreve, Miller je zatvorio oči. Miller je položen na počinak 1849. godine, upravo u času kada je Krist po drugi put pružao svoju ruku da sabere ostatak svojega naroda. Miller je tada zatvorio oči, a 1850. godine njegove su istine ponovno bile stavljene na stol u ispunjenju Habakukove zapovijedi da se zapiše viđenje i jasno izloži. U tom razdoblju vreve Miller zatvara oči, a kada se probudi, dragulji su u procesu obnove.

The second bustle in his dream takes place when the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is being resurrected, purged and purified as the ensign which Zechariah identifies as jewels upon a crown.

Drugo komešanje u njegovu snu zbiva se kada se stijeg sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće uskrsava, čisti i pročišćuje kao stijeg koji Zaharija prepoznaje kao dragulje na kruni.

> And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. Zechariah 9:16–10:3.

> I Jahve, Bog njihov, spasit će ih u onaj dan kao stado naroda svojega; jer će oni biti kao kamenje na kruni, uzdignuto kao stijeg nad zemljom njegovom. Jer kako je velika dobrota njegova i kako je velika ljepota njegova! Žito će razveseliti mladiće, a novo vino djevojke. Ištite od Jahve dažda u vrijeme potonjega dažda; tako će Jahve načiniti sjajne oblake i dati im pljuskove kiše, svakomu travu u polju. Jer su idoli govorili ispraznost, a vračari su vidjeli laž i kazivali lažne sne; uzalud tješe: zato su otišli svojim putem kao stado, bili su potlačeni, jer ne bijaše pastira. Moj se gnjev raspalio protiv pastira i kaznio sam jarce; jer Jahve nad vojskama pohodio je stado svoje, dom Judin, i učinio ih kao svoga krasnoga konja u boju. Zaharija 9:16–10:3.

The “flock of His people” are both an ensign and stones (jewels) upon a crown. The flock of His people are identified during the latter rain, for the command is to ask for the latter rain in the time of the latter rain. The flock is contrasted with the “flock” that went their own way, rather than the way of Jeremiah’s old paths. In the time of the latter rain the jewels that are His flock will be His goodly horse in the battle. That “goodly horse” is the church triumphant, represented in the first Christian bride, symbolized by Peter who, as a white horse in the period of the first seal went forth conquering and to conquer.

„Stado Njegova naroda“ ujedno je stijeg i kamenje (dragulji) na kruni. Stado Njegova naroda prepoznaje se tijekom pozne kiše, jer je zapovijed da se traži pozna kiša u vrijeme pozne kiše. Stado je suprotstavljeno „stadu“ koje je pošlo svojim putem, a ne putem Jeremijinih drevnih staza. U vrijeme pozne kiše dragulji koji su Njegovo stado bit će Njegov krasni konj u boju. Taj „krasni konj“ jest crkva pobjedonosna, predočena u prvoj kršćanskoj zaručnici, simbolizirana Petrom koji je, kao bijeli konj u razdoblju prvoga pečata, izišao pobjeđujući i da pobijedi.

> And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Revelation 6:1, 2.

> I vidjeh kad Jaganjac otvori jedan od pečata, i začuh kao huku groma gdje jedna od četiri životinje govori: Dođi i vidi. I pogledah, i gle: konj bijel; i onaj koji je sjedio na njemu imao je luk; i dana mu je kruna; i iziđe pobjeđujući, i da pobijedi. Otkrivenje 6:1, 2.

Peter therefore is the symbol of the first Christian church of the apostles during the Pentecostal outpouring of the rain, and the symbol of the last Christian church during the latter rain, that was typified by the Pentecostal outpouring.

Stoga je Petar simbol prve kršćanske crkve apostola tijekom pentekostnog izlijevanja dažda, i simbol posljednje kršćanske crkve tijekom kasnog dažda, koji je bio predoznačen pentekostnim izlijevanjem.

> And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Revelation 19:11–14.

> I vidjeh nebo otvoreno, i gle, konj bijel; i Onaj koji sjedaše na nj zove se Vjerni i Istiniti, i po pravdi sudi i ratuje. Oči su mu bile kao plamen ognjeni, a na glavi mu mnoge krune; i imao je napisano ime koje nitko ne zna doli on sam. I bijaše odjeven u haljinu umočenu u krv, i ime mu je: Riječ Božja. I vojske što su na nebu iđahu za njim na bijelim konjima, odjevene u tanki lan, bijel i čist. Otkrivenje 19:11–14.

The white horses represent Christ’s army that are resurrected in Ezekiel 37, and they are the church triumphant, and they are stones in a crown, for Christ establishes His kingdom of glory in the time of the latter rain. As representatives of His kingdom the one hundred and forty-four thousand are jewels upon the crown which is the symbol of the kingdom he receives at the conclusion of the 2,300 days, which was both October 22, 1844 and will be again at the Sunday law. That kingdom of white horses is raised up during the latter rain, when the windows of heaven are opened, for John saw the white horse when heaven was opened.

Bijeli konji predstavljaju Kristovu vojsku koja uskrsava u Ezekielu 37, i oni su crkva slavodobitna, i oni su kamenje u kruni, jer Krist uspostavlja svoje kraljevstvo slave u vrijeme kasne kiše. Kao predstavnici Njegova kraljevstva, sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće jesu dragulji na kruni koja je simbol kraljevstva što ga On prima na završetku 2.300 dana, što je bilo i 22. listopada 1844. i bit će ponovno kod nedjeljnoga zakona. To kraljevstvo bijelih konja podiže se tijekom kasne kiše, kada se otvaraju nebeski prozori, jer je Ivan vidio bijeloga konja kada se nebo otvorilo.

In the alpha bustle of 1849, Miller closed his eyes in death, for a little moment. Miller was Elijah, and Elijah died on July 18, 2020, and he laid in the street for 1,260 days until he reached the omega bustle and was then awakened. His awakening is marked as arriving when the dirt brush man opened the window of heaven to sweep out the rubbish. The army of white horses is raised when heaven’s window is opened, and when that occurs a separation of true and false is identified. That separation is also identified in the book of Malachi.

U metežu alfe 1849. Miller je sklopio oči u smrti, na mali trenutak. Miller je bio Ilija, a Ilija je umro 18. srpnja 2020. te je ležao na ulici 1.260 dana dok nije stigao do meteža omege i tada bio probuđen. Njegovo je buđenje označeno kao dolazak kada je čovjek s metlom za prašinu otvorio prozor neba da pomete smeće. Vojska bijelih konja podiže se kada se otvori nebeski prozor, a kada se to dogodi, prepoznaje se razdvajanje istinitoga i lažnoga. To je razdvajanje također prepoznato u knjizi proroka Malahije.

> 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 spremište, da bude hrane u mojoj kući, i okušajte me sada u tome, govori Jahve nad Vojskama, neću li vam otvoriti nebeske ustave i izliti na vas blagoslov toliko obilan da mu ne će biti dosta mjesta. Malahija 3,10.

The spirits of the prophets are subject unto the prophets, and John in Revelation, Miller’s dream and Malachi provide three witnesses of the time when the windows of heaven are opened. In Miller’s dream it is at the omega of the call to “come and see.” The bustle in the alpha was when the scattering began, and the omega is when the gathering begins.

Duhovi proroka podložni su prorocima, a Ivan u Otkrivenju, Millerov san i Malahija pružaju tri svjedoka o vremenu kada se otvaraju nebeski prozori. U Millerovu snu to je na omegi poziva: „dođi i vidi.” Užurbanost u alfi bijaše kada je rasijavanje započelo, a omega je kada sabiranje započinje.

Before we proceed further into Miller’s dream we want to include James White’s commentary on the dream. James White identifies the true jewels as God’s true people and the counterfeit jewels as the wicked. I identify the jewels as truths contrasted with error. The jewels and the counterfeit jewels are both the message and the messengers contrasted with error and false messengers.

Prije nego što nastavimo dalje s Millerovim snom, želimo uključiti komentar Jamesa Whitea o tom snu. James White prepoznaje prave dragulje kao Božji pravi narod, a krivotvorene dragulje kao zle. Ja prepoznajem dragulje kao istine, nasuprot zabludi. Dragulji i krivotvoreni dragulji jesu i poruka i glasnici, suprotstavljeni zabludi i lažnim glasnicima.

> “BROTHER MILLER’S DREAM

> „SAN BRATA MILLERA Sanjao sam da vidim svijet kao malo, glatko klupko pređe. Različiti su mi ljudi dolazili da ga razgledaju. Smijao sam se gluposti i iznenađenju koje su izražavali zbog njegove veličine, pretpostavljajući da oni to smatraju nečim osobito malenim. Posljednji koji je došao bio je netko tko je bio na Nebu i izložio je vrijednost koju svijet ima među stvorenjima koja je Bog načinio. Tada mi je svijet izgledao kao nešto vrlo malo i pomislio sam da ga moram staviti daleko od sebe. Još sam ga držao u ruci i prolazio sam kroz uski prolaz, tražeći mjesto gdje bih ga mogao odložiti, a da bude sigurno i da se ne zaboravi. Napokon sam došao u mračnu prostoriju. Ovdje sam pogledao uokolo za nečim na što bih ga položio; no prostorija je bila mračna i prazna. Dok sam tražio, odjednom su se pojavila dva prekrasna kerubina, stojeći uspravno na nogama i gledajući me. Jedan od njih reče: „Što ovdje radiš? To je sveto tlo.“ Trgnuo sam se od straha i probudio. Više nisam mogao spavati. O, kakva ozbiljnost! Kakva stvarnost! Kakav svet strah osjećah dok su mi kerubini govorili: „To je sveto tlo.“”

> “The following dream was published in the Advent Herald, more than two years since. I then saw that it clearly marked out our past second advent experience, and that God gave the dream for the benefit of the scattered flock.

> „Sljedeći san objavljen je u Advent Heraldu prije više od dvije godine. Tada sam uvidjela da on jasno ocrtava naše prošlo iskustvo drugoga dolaska te da je Bog dao taj san na dobrobit raspršenoga stada.״

> “Among the signs of the near approach of the great and the terrible day of the Lord, God has placed dreams. See Joel 2:28–31; Acts 2:17–20. Dreams may come in three ways; first, ‘through the multitude of business.’ See Ecclesiastes 5:3. Second, those who are under the foul spirit and deception of Satan, may have dreams through his influence. See Deuteronomy 8:1–5; Jeremiah 23:25–28; 27:9; 29:8; Zechariah 10:2; Jude 8. And third, God has always taught, and still teaches his people more or less by dreams, which come through the agency of angels and the Holy Spirit. Those who stand in the clear light of truth will know when God gives them a dream; and such will not be deceived and led astray by false dreams.

> „Među znakovima skorašnjega približavanja velikoga i strašnoga dana Gospodnjega, Bog je postavio snove. Vidi Joel 2:28–31; Djela apostolska 2:17–20. Snovi mogu doći na tri načina; prvo, ‘od mnoštva poslova’. Vidi Propovjednik 5:3. Drugo, oni koji su pod nečistim duhom i Sotoninom prijevarom mogu imati snove pod njegovim utjecajem. Vidi Ponovljeni zakon 8:1–5; Jeremija 23:25–28; 27:9; 29:8; Zaharija 10:2; Juda 8. I treće, Bog je oduvijek poučavao, i još uvijek poučava svoj narod više ili manje snovima, koji dolaze posredovanjem anđela i Duha Svetoga. Oni koji stoje u jasnoj svjetlosti istine znat će kada im Bog daje san; i takvi neće biti prevareni niti zavedeni lažnim snovima.“

> “‘And he said, Hear now my words; if there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.’ Numbers 12:6. Said Jacob, ‘The angel of the Lord spake unto me in a dream.’ Genesis 31:2. ‘And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night.’ Genesis 31:24. Read the dreams of Joseph, [Genesis 37:5–9,] and then the interesting story of their fulfilment in Egypt. ‘In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night.’ 1 Kings 3:55. The great important image of the second chapter of Daniel was given in a dream, also the four beasts, etc. of the seventh chapter. When Herod sought to destroy the infant Saviour Joseph was warned in a dream to flee into Egypt. Matthew 2:13.

> „I reče: Čujte sada moje riječi; ako je među vama prorok, ja, Gospod, objavit ću mu se u viđenju, i govorit ću mu u snu.“ Brojevi 12:6. Jakov je rekao: „Anđeo Gospodnji govorio mi je u snu.“ Postanak 31:2. „I Bog dođe k Labanu Aramejcu u noćnom snu.“ Postanak 31:24. Čitajte Josipove snove, [Postanak 37:5–9,] a zatim i zanimljiv izvještaj o njihovu ispunjenju u Egiptu. „U Gibeonu se Gospod ukazao Salomonu noću u snu.“ 1. o kraljevima 3:55. Veliki i važni kip iz drugoga poglavlja Daniela bio je dan u snu, kao i četiri zvijeri itd. iz sedmoga poglavlja. Kad je Herod nastojao pogubiti novorođenoga Spasitelja, Josip je u snu bio upozoren da pobjegne u Egipat. Matej 2:13.

> “‘And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.’ Acts 2:17.

> „I dogodit će se u POSLJEDNJE DANE, govori Bog, izlit ću od svojega Duha na svako tijelo: i prorokovat će vaši sinovi i vaše kćeri, i vaši će mladići viđati viđenja, a vaši će starci sanjati snove.“ Djela apostolska 2,17.

> “The gift of prophecy, by dreams and visions, is here the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and in the last days is to be manifested sufficiently to constitute a sign. It is one of the gifts of the gospel church.

> „Dar proroštva, po snovima i viđenjima, ovdje je plod Duha Svetoga, i u posljednje dane treba se očitovati dostatno da predstavlja znak. To je jedan od darova evanđeoske crkve.״

> “‘And he gave some apostles; and some PROPHETS; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.’ Ephesians 4:11, 12.

> „I jedne dade kao apostole, a jedne kao PROROKE, a jedne kao evanđeliste, a jedne kao pastire i učitelje; za usavršavanje svetih, za djelo službe, za izgrađivanje tijela Kristova.“ Efežanima 4:11, 12.

> “‘And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily PROPHETS,’ etc. 1 Corinthians 12:28. ‘Despise not PROPHESYINGS.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:20. See also Acts 13:1; 21:9; Romans 7:6; 1 Corinthians 14:1, 24, 39. Prophets or prophesyings are for the edification of the church of Christ; and there is no evidence that can be produced from the word of God, that they were to cease before evangelists, pastors and teachers were to cease. But says the objector, ‘There has been so many false visions and dreams that I can not have confidence in anything of the kind.’ It is true that Satan has his counterfeit. He always had false prophets, and certainly we may expect them now in this his last hour of deception and triumph. Those who reject such special revelations because the counterfeit exists, may with equal propriety go a little farther and deny that God ever revealed himself to man in a dream or a vision, for the counterfeit always existed.

> „I neke je Bog postavio u Crkvi, prvo apostole, drugo PROROKE“ itd. 1. Korinćanima 12,28. „PROROŠTVA ne prezirite.“ 1. Solunjanima 5,20. Vidi također Djela 13,1; 21,9; Rimljanima 7,6; 1. Korinćanima 14,1, 24, 39. Proroci ili proroštva dani su za izgrađivanje Kristove Crkve; i ne može se iz Božje riječi iznijeti nikakav dokaz da su oni trebali prestati prije nego što bi trebali prestati evanđelisti, pastiri i učitelji. Ali, kaže prigovaratelj: „Bilo je toliko mnogo lažnih viđenja i snova da ne mogu imati povjerenja ni u što takve vrste.“ Istina je da Sotona ima svoje krivotvorine. Oduvijek je imao lažne proroke, i zacijelo ih možemo očekivati i sada, u ovom njegovu posljednjem času obmane i trijumfa. Oni koji odbacuju takva posebna otkrivenja zato što postoji krivotvorina, mogli bi s jednakim razlogom poći i korak dalje te zanijekati da se Bog ikada objavio čovjeku u snu ili viđenju, jer je krivotvorina oduvijek postojala.

> “Dreams and visions are the medium through which God has revealed himself to man. Through this medium he spake to the prophets; he has placed the gift of prophecy among the gifts of the gospel church, and has classed dreams and visions with the other signs of the ‘LAST DAYS.’ Amen.

> „Snovi i viđenja sredstvo su kojim se Bog objavio čovjeku. Putem toga sredstva govorio je prorocima; dar proroštva postavio je među darove evanđeoske Crkve, a snove i viđenja svrstao je među ostale znakove „POSLJEDNJIH DANA“. Amen.

> “My object in the above remarks has been to remove objections in a scriptural manner, and prepare the mind of the reader for the following.

> “Low Hampton, N. Y. Dec. 3, 1847.” James White, Brother Miller’s Dream, 1–6.

> „Low Hampton, N. Y., 3. prosinca 1847.” James White, San brata Millera, 1–6.

> “1. The ‘casket’ represents the great truths of the Bible, relative to the second advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, which were given Brother Miller to publish to the world.

> „1. ‘Kovčežić’ predstavlja velike istine Biblije koje se odnose na drugi dolazak našega Gospodina Isusa Krista, a koje su dane bratu Milleru da ih objavi svijetu.

> “2. The ‘key attached’ was his manner of interpreting the prophetic Word—Comparing scripture with scripture—the Bible its own interpreter. With this key Brother Miller opened the ‘casket,’ or the great truth of the advent to the world.

> „2. ‘Priloženi ključ’ bio je njegov način tumačenja proročke Riječi — uspoređivanje Pisma s Pismom — Biblija kao vlastiti tumač. Tim je ključem brat Miller otvorio ‘kovčežić’, odnosno veliku istinu o dolasku svijetu.

> “3. The ‘jewels, diamonds, etc.’ of ‘all sorts and sizes’ so ‘beautifully arranged in their several places in the casket’ represent the children of God, [Malachi 3:17,] from all the churches, and from almost every station, and situation of life, who received the advent faith, and were seen to take a bold stand in their several stations, in the holy cause of truth. While moving in this order, each attending to his own duty, and walking humbly before God, ‘they reflected a light and glory’ to the world, equaled only by the church in the days of the apostles. The message, [Revelation 14:6,7,] went as it were, upon the wings of the wind, and the invitation, ‘Come, for all things are now ready,’ [Luke 14:17.] went abroad with power and effect.

> „3. ‘Dragulji, dijamanti itd.’ ‘svakovrsni i različitih veličina’, tako ‘lijepo raspoređeni na svojim pojedinim mjestima u kovčežiću’, predstavljaju djecu Božju, [Malahija 3:17,] iz svih crkava i iz gotovo svakoga staleža i životnoga položaja, koja su primila adventnu vjeru i za koju se vidjelo da zauzimaju hrabar stav na svojim pojedinim mjestima u svetoj stvari istine. Dok su se kretali u tom poretku, svaki pazeći na vlastitu dužnost i ponizno hodeći pred Bogom, ‘odražavali su svjetlost i slavu’ svijetu, kojoj je bila ravna jedino crkva u dane apostola. Poruka, [Otkrivenje 14:6,7,] išla je, takoreći, na krilima vjetra, a poziv, ‘Dođite, jer je sve već pripravljeno,’ [Luka 14:17.] raznosio se sa silom i djelotvornošću.“

> “4. ‘The people began to come in, at first few in number, but increased to a crowd.’ When the advent doctrine was first preached by Brother Miller, and a very few others, it had but little effect, and but very few were waked up by it; but from 1840 to 1844, wherever it was preached, the whole community was aroused.

> „4. ‘Ljudi su počeli pristizati, isprva malobrojni, ali su se umnožili u mnoštvo.’ Kada je brat Miller, i još vrlo nekolicina drugih, prvi put propovijedao nauk o dolasku, on je imao vrlo malo učinka, i njime je probuđen tek vrlo malen broj; ali od 1840. do 1844., gdje god je bio propovijedan, cijela je zajednica bila pokrenuta.

> “5. When the flying angel [Revelation 14:6–7] first began to preach the everlasting good news, ‘Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come,’ many shouted for joy in view of the coming of Jesus, and the restitution, who afterwards opposed and scoffed and ridiculed the truth that a little before filled them with joy. They troubled and scattered the jewels. This brings us to the autumn of 1844, when the scattering time commenced.

> „5. Kada je leteći anđeo [Otkrivenje 14,6–7] prvi put počeo propovijedati vječnu radosnu vijest: ‘Bojte se Boga i podajte mu slavu, jer je došao čas njegova suda’, mnogi su klicali od radosti pri pomisli na Isusov dolazak i obnovu, a poslije su se usprotivili, izrugivali i ismijavali istinu koja ih je malo prije ispunjala radošću. Uznemiravali su i raspršivali dragulje. To nas dovodi do jeseni 1844., kada je započelo vrijeme raspršivanja.“

> “Mark this: It was those who once ‘shouted for joy’ that troubled and scattered the jewels. And none have so effectually scattered the flock, and led them astray since 1844, as those who once preached the truth, and rejoiced in it; but have since denied the work of God, and the fulfillment of prophecy in our past advent experience.

> „Zapamti ovo: upravo su oni koji su nekoć ‘klicali od radosti’ uznemirili i raspršili dragulje. I nitko nije tako djelotvorno raspršio stado i odveo ga na stranputicu od 1844. godine kao oni koji su nekoć propovijedali istinu i radovali joj se, ali su poslije zanijekali Božje djelo i ispunjenje proročanstva u našem prošlom adventnom iskustvu.

> “6. The ‘spurious jewels and counterfeit coin’ that were scattered among the genuine, clearly represent false converts, or ‘strange children,’ [Hosea 5:7] since the door was shut in 1844.

> „6. ‘Patvoreni dragulji i krivotvoren novac’ koji su bili raspršeni među pravima, jasno predstavljaju lažne obraćenike, ili ‘tuđu djecu’ [Hošea 5,7], otkako su se vrata zatvorila 1844. godine.

> “7. The ‘dirt and shavings, sand and all manner of rubbish,’ represent the various and numerous errors that have been brought in among second advent believers, since the autumn of 1844. Here I will notice a few of them.

> „7. ‘Prljavština i strugotine, pijesak i svakojako smeće’ predstavljaju raznovrsne i brojne zablude koje su unesene među vjernike u drugi dolazak od jeseni 1844. Ovdje ću ukazati na nekoliko njih.

> “1. The stand that some of the ‘shepherds’ presumptuously took immediately after the Midnight cry was given, that the solemn melting power of the Holy Ghost that attended the seventh month movement was a mesmeric influence. George Storrs was among the first to take this stand. See his writings in the latter part of 1844, in the Midnight-Cry, then published in New York City. J. V. Himes, at the Albany Conference in the spring of 1845, said that the seventh month movement produced mesmerism seven feet deep. This I am told by one who was present, and heard the remark. Others who took an active part in the seventh month cry, have since pronounced that movement the work of the Devil. Attributing the work of Christ and the Holy Ghost to the Devil was in the days of our Savior, blasphemy, and it is blasphemy now. 2. The many experiments on definite time. Since the 2300 days ended in 1844, quite a number of times have been set, by different individuals, for their termination. In doing this they have removed the ‘landmarks,’ and have thrown darkness and doubt over the whole advent movement. 3. Spiritualism with all its fancies and extravagances. This wile of the Devil, which has accomplished an awful work of death, is very fitly represented by ‘shavings,’ and ‘all manner of rubbish.’ Many of those who drank down the poison of spiritualism admitted the truth of our past advent experience, and from this fact many have been made to believe that spiritualism was the natural fruit of believing that God conducted the great advent movements in 1843 and 1844. Peter, speaking of those who should ‘bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them,’ says ‘BY REASON OF WHOM THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.’ 4. S. S. Snow professing to be ‘Elijah the Prophet.’ This man in his strange and wild career, has also acted his part in this work of death, and his course has had a tendency to bring the true position for the waiting saints into disrepute, in the minds of many honest souls.

> „1. Stajalište koje su neki od „pastira“ drsko zauzeli neposredno nakon što je bio objavljen ponoćni poklik, naime da je svečana, omekšavajuća sila Duha Svetoga koja je pratila pokret sedmoga mjeseca bila mesmerijski utjecaj. George Storrs bio je među prvima koji su zauzeli to stajalište. Vidi njegove spise u potonjem dijelu 1844. godine, u Midnight-Cry, tada izdavanom u gradu New Yorku. J. V. Himes je na Albanyskoj konferenciji u proljeće 1845. rekao da je pokret sedmoga mjeseca proizveo mesmerizam sedam stopa duboko. To mi je rekao netko tko je bio nazočan i čuo tu primjedbu. Drugi, koji su aktivno sudjelovali u pokliku sedmoga mjeseca, otada su taj pokret proglasili djelom Đavla. Pripisivati djelo Krista i Duha Svetoga Đavlu bilo je u danima našega Spasitelja hula, i hula je i sada. 2. Mnogi pokušaji određivanja točnoga vremena. Otkako je 2300 dana završilo 1844. godine, priličan broj različitih pojedinaca odredio je više vremena za njihov svršetak. Čineći to, uklonili su „međaše“ i bacili tamu i sumnju na cijeli adventni pokret. 3. Spiritizam sa svim svojim maštarijama i pretjerivanjima. Ova đavolska lukavština, koja je izvršila strašno djelo smrti, vrlo je prikladno predočena „strugotinama“ i „svakovrsnim smećem“. Mnogi od onih koji su ispili otrov spiritizma priznali su istinu našega prijašnjeg adventnog iskustva, i zbog te činjenice mnogi su navedeni da povjeruju kako je spiritizam bio naravan plod vjerovanja da je Bog vodio velike adventne pokrete 1843. i 1844. godine. Petar, govoreći o onima koji će „uvesti pogubna krivovjerja, čak niječući Gospodina koji ih je otkupio“, kaže: „ZBOG KOJIH ĆE PUT ISTINE BITI NA ZLU GLASU.“ 4. S. S. Snow koji je tvrdio da je „prorok Ilija“. Taj je čovjek, u svojoj čudnoj i divljoj putanji, također odigrao svoju ulogu u ovom djelu smrti, a njegov je put imao sklonost dovesti pravi položaj svetih koji čekaju na zao glas u mislima mnogih poštenih duša.“

> “To this catalogue of errors I might add many more, such as the ‘thousand years’ of Revelation 20:4, 7, in the past, the 144,000 of Revelation 7:4; 14:1, those who ‘arose and came out of the graves’ after Christ’s resurrection, the no-work doctrine, the doctrine of the destruction of infants, etc. etc. These errors were so industriously propagated, and urged upon the waiting flock that, at the time Brother Miller had the dream the true jewels were ‘excluded from sight,’ and the words of the prophet were applicable—‘And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off,’ etc. etc. See Isaiah 56:14.

> „Tomu katalogu zabluda mogao bih dodati još mnoge druge, kao što su „tisuću godina“ iz Otkrivenja 20:4, 7, u prošlosti, 144.000 iz Otkrivenja 7:4; 14:1, oni koji su „ustali i izišli iz grobova“ nakon Kristova uskrsnuća, nauk o neradu, nauk o uništenju dojenčadi, itd. itd. Te su zablude bile tako ustrajno širene i nametane stadu koje je čekalo da su, u vrijeme kada je brat Miller usnio san, pravi dragulji bili „uklonjeni iz vida“, te su riječi proroka bile primjenjive — „I sud se uzmače natrag, i pravda stoji daleko,“ itd. itd. Vidi Izaija 56:14.“

> “At that time there was not an advent paper in the land that advocated the cause of present truth. The ‘Day-Dawn,’ was the last to defend the true position of the little flock; but that died a number of months before the Lord gave Brother Miller this dream; and in its last dying struggle pointed the weary sighing saints to 1877, then thirty years in the future, as the time of their final deliverance. Alas! alas! No wonder that Brother Miller in his dream, ‘sat down and wept’ over this sad state of things.

> „U to vrijeme u zemlji nije bilo nijednoga adventnog lista koji bi zastupao stvar sadašnje istine. ‘Day-Dawn’ je bio posljednji koji je branio ispravno stajalište maloga stada; ali on je zamro nekoliko mjeseci prije nego što je Gospod dao bratu Milleru ovaj san; i u svojoj posljednjoj samrtnoj borbi uputio je umorne, uzdišuće svete na 1877. godinu, tada još trideset godina u budućnosti, kao na vrijeme njihova konačnog izbavljenja. Jao! jao! Nije čudo što je brat Miller u svom snu ‘sjeo i zaplakao’ nad ovim žalosnim stanjem stvari.“

> “8. The casket, represents the advent truth that Brother Miller published to the world, as is marked out by the parable of the ten virgins. Matthew 25:1–11. First the time, 1843, second, the tarrying time, third the midnight cry, at the seventh month, 1844, and fourth, the shut door. No one who has read the Second Advent papers since 1843, will deny that Brother Miller has advocated these four important points in advent history. This harmonious system of truth or ‘casket’ has been torn in pieces, and scattered among the rubbish by those who have rejected their own experience, and have denied the very truths that they, with Brother Miller so fearlessly preached to the world.

> „8. Kovčeg predstavlja adventnu istinu koju je brat Miller objavio svijetu, kako je naznačeno prispodobom o deset djevica. Matej 25:1–11. Prvo vrijeme, 1843.; drugo vrijeme odgode; treće ponoćni poklik, u sedmome mjesecu 1844.; i četvrto, zatvorena vrata. Nitko tko je čitao spise o Drugom dolasku od 1843. godine neće poreći da je brat Miller zastupao ove četiri važne točke u adventnoj povijesti. Taj skladni sustav istine, ili „kovčeg“, bio je raskomadan i razasut među ruševinama od onih koji su odbacili vlastito iskustvo i zanijekali same istine koje su oni, zajedno s bratom Millerom, tako neustrašivo propovijedali svijetu.

> “9. The man with the ‘dirt-brush’ represents the clear light of present truth, as brought to view by the third angel’s message, [Revelation 14:9–12,] which is now purging the errors away from the remnant. The cause of present truth began to revive in the spring of 1848, and has been rising and gaining strength from that time to the present. The ‘dirt-brush’ has been moving, and the errors have been passing away before the clear light of truth, and some of the precious jewels, who but a short time since were covered up and excluded from sight by darkness and error, now stand in the clear light of present truth.

> „9. Čovjek s ‘četkom za prašinu’ predstavlja jasnu svjetlost sadašnje istine, kako je iznesena porukom trećega anđela [Otkrivenje 14,9–12], koja sada uklanja zablude od ostatka. Djelo sadašnje istine počelo je oživljavati u proljeće 1848. te je od tada pa do sada raslo i jačalo. ‘Četka za prašinu’ bila je u pokretu, a zablude su nestajale pred jasnom svjetlošću istine, i neki od dragocjenih dragulja, koji su još prije vrlo kratka vremena bili prekriveni i zaklonjeni od pogleda tamom i zabludom, sada stoje u jasnoj svjetlosti sadašnje istine.

> “This work of bringing out the jewels, and purging away error is fast increasing, and is destined to move on with increasing power, until the saints are all searched out, and receive the seal of the living God. Compare this with the thirty-fourth chapter of Ezekiel, and you will see that God has promised to gather his flock that have been scattered in this dark and cloudy day, since 1844. Before Jesus comes, the ‘little flock’ will be gathered into the ‘unity of the faith.’ Jesus is now purifying ‘unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works,’ and when he comes he will find his ‘church not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.’ ‘Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, etc.’ Matthew 3:12.

> „Ovo djelo iznošenja dragulja i uklanjanja zablude brzo napreduje i određeno je da će nastaviti ići naprijed sa sve većom silom, dok svi sveti ne budu istraženi i ne prime pečat živoga Boga. Usporedite to s trideset i četvrtim poglavljem Ezekiela, i vidjet ćete da je Bog obećao sabrati svoje stado koje je bilo raspršeno u ovom tamnom i oblačnom danu, od 1844. godine. Prije nego što Isus dođe, ‘malo stado’ bit će sabrano u ‘jedinstvo vjere’. Isus sada pročišćuje ‘sebi izabran narod, revan za dobra djela’, a kada dođe, naći će svoju ‘crkvu bez ljage, ili bore, ili čega takva’. ‘Komu je vijača u ruci, i on će temeljito očistiti svoje gumno te sabrati svoju pšenicu u žitnicu, itd.’ Matej 3,12.

> “10. The second ‘casket much larger and more beautiful than the former’ into which the scattered ‘jewels,’ ‘diamonds’ and coins were gathered, represents the broad field of living present truth into which the scattered flock will be gathered, even 144,000, all of them having the seal of the living God. Not one of the precious diamonds will be left in the dark. Although some are not bigger than the point of a pin, they will not be overlooked, and left out in this day when God is making up his jewels. [Malachi 3:16–18] He can send his angels and haste them out as he did Lot out of Sodom. ‘A short work will the Lord make upon the earth.’ ‘He will cut it short in righteousness.’ See Romans 9:28.” James White, Footnotes to Brother Miller’s Dream.

> „10. Drugi ‘kovčežić mnogo veći i ljepši od prijašnjega’ u koji su bili sabrani rasuti ‘dragulji’, ‘dijamanti’ i novčići, predstavlja široko polje žive sadašnje istine u koje će rasuto stado biti sabrano, to jest 144.000, svi oni koji imaju pečat živoga Boga. Ni jedan od dragocjenih dijamanata neće biti ostavljen u tami. Premda neki nisu veći od vrška pribadače, neće biti previdjeni i izostavljeni u ovaj dan kada Bog sabire svoje dragulje. [Malahija 3:16–18] On može poslati svoje anđele i požuriti ih, kao što je Lota izveo iz Sodome. ‘Jer će Gospod izvršiti svoje djelo na zemlji u kratko.’ ‘Skratit će ga u pravednosti.’ Vidi Rimljanima 9:28.” James White, Fusnote uz san brata Millera.
