The subject of the sanctuary was the “key” that unlocked the disappointment of October 22, 1844 at the beginning of the third angel’s message, and it is the subject of the disappointment that is the “key” to unlock the sanctuary message of the temple test at the end of the third angel.

Predmet Svetišta bio je „ključ“ koji je na početku poruke trećega anđela otključao razočaranje od 22. listopada 1844., a predmet razočaranja jest „ključ“ za otključavanje poruke o Svetištu u ispitu hrama na kraju poruke trećega anđela.

> And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19.

> I dat ću ti ključeve kraljevstva nebeskoga: i što god svežeš na zemlji, bit će svezano na nebesima; i što god razriješiš na zemlji, bit će razriješeno na nebesima. Matej 16,19.

The fact that September 11, 2001 is understood as “9/11” in agreement with “911” being the symbol of an emergency call in the United States, was designed by the One who designed all things. Understanding the disappointment of July 18, 2020 is what allows the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand to be recognized as such; but only by those who wish to see that Jesus represents the spiritual with the natural today no differently than He did two thousand years ago. “20/20” vision is the best you can have, and the disappointment of 2020 is the waymark that allows the temple to be recognized in the prophetic history of the ten virgins.

Činjenica da se 11. rujna 2001. razumije kao “9/11”, u skladu s time da je “911” simbol hitnog poziva u Sjedinjenim Državama, osmišljena je od Onoga koji je osmislio sve. Razumijevanje razočaranja od 18. srpnja 2020. ono je što omogućuje da se pokret sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće prepozna kao takav; ali samo onima koji žele vidjeti da Isus danas predstavlja duhovno prirodnim ništa drukčije nego što je to činio prije dvije tisuće godina. Vid “20/20” najbolji je koji možete imati, a razočaranje iz 2020. putokaz je koji omogućuje da se hram prepozna u proročkoj povijesti deset djevica.

> “The parable of the ten virgins of Matthew 25 also illustrates the experience of the Adventist people.” The Great Controversy, 393.

> „Prispodoba o deset djevica iz Mateja 25 također prikazuje iskustvo adventnog naroda.“ Velika borba, 393.

Twenty 20 vision is even better when combined with the hindsight represented by the foundational truths. Paul teaches that “the spirits of the prophets are subject to the spirits of the prophets,” and Matthew’s virgins are therefore the same virgins that John identifies as the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and John identifies them as virgins in—Revelation 144.

Vid dvadeset dvadeset još je bolji kada se spoji s uvidom unatrag koji predstavljaju temeljne istine. Pavao uči da su „duhovi proroka podložni prorocima“, pa su stoga Matejeve djevice iste one djevice koje Ivan prepoznaje kao sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, a Ivan ih prepoznaje kao djevice u — Otkrivenju 144.

> These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. Revelation 14:4.

> To su oni koji se nisu okaljali sa ženama, jer su djevice. To su oni koji slijede Jaganjca kamo god on ide. Oni su otkupljeni između ljudi kao prvine Bogu i Jaganjcu. Otkrivenje 14:4.

The first fruits of the fall season are the virgins who follow the Lamb into the temple, and the “key” to understanding the temple is the disappointment of 2020.

Prvine jesenske žetve jesu djevice koje slijede Jaganjca u hram, a „ključ” za razumijevanje hrama jest razočaranje iz 2020. godine.

> And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Isaiah 22:22.

> I ključ od doma Davidova metnut ću mu na rame; kad on otvori, nitko neće zatvoriti; kad on zatvori, nitko neće otvoriti. Izaija 22:22.

If an Adventist is to be among the 144,000, they will of prophetic necessity have suffered a disappointment that was caused by the presentation of a public prediction that failed.

Ako adventist treba biti među 144.000, on će po proročkoj nužnosti pretrpjeti razočaranje prouzročeno iznošenjem javnog predviđanja koje se nije ispunilo.

> “I am often referred to the parable of the ten virgins, five of whom were wise, and five foolish. This parable has been and will be fulfilled to the very letter, for it has a special application to this time, and, like the third angel’s message, has been fulfilled and will continue to be present truth till the close of time.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

> „Često mi se skreće pozornost na prispodobu o deset djevica, od kojih je pet bilo mudrih, a pet ludih. Ova se prispodoba ispunila i ispunit će se do najsitnijeg slova, jer ima posebnu primjenu za ovo vrijeme i, poput poruke trećega anđela, ispunila se i nastavit će biti sadašnja istina sve do svršetka vremena.“ Review and Herald, 19. kolovoza 1890.

The battle of Panium in verse fifteen of Daniel eleven is the battle that leads to verse sixteen, which identifies the Sunday law in the United States.

Bitka kod Panija u petnaestom retku jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela jest bitka koja vodi do šesnaestog retka, koji prepoznaje zakon o nedjelji u Sjedinjenim Državama.

> So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand. Daniel 11:15.

> Tako će kralj sjevera doći, podići nasip i zauzeti najutvrđenije gradove; i mišice juga neće odoljeti, niti njegov izabrani narod, niti će biti snage da mu se odoli. Daniel 11:15.

In this verse the United States defeats Russia, along with Russia’s chosen people. But in the next verse. No one can stand against the rise of Rome, which marks Judah and Jerusalem as the first step in its conquest of the world; as Rome rose up as the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy. By standing in the literal glorious land in verse sixteen, the symbol of literal Rome’s authority was within the literal glorious land; thus, typifying verse forty-one, when the mark of spiritual Rome’s authority is enforced upon the spiritual glorious land of the United States.

U ovome retku Sjedinjene Države pobjeđuju Rusiju, zajedno s ruskim izabranim narodom. Ali u sljedećem retku nitko se ne može oduprijeti usponu Rima, koji obilježava Judu i Jeruzalem kao prvi korak u svom osvajanju svijeta; kao što je Rim ustao kao četvrto kraljevstvo biblijskog proroštva. Time što stoji u doslovnoj slavnoj zemlji u šesnaestom retku, simbol vlasti doslovnog Rima nalazio se unutar doslovne slavne zemlje; tipološki predoznačujući četrdeset i prvi redak, kada se znak vlasti duhovnoga Rima nameće duhovnoj slavnoj zemlji Sjedinjenih Država.

The two horns of the earth-beast of Revelation thirteen represent Republicanism and Protestantism. In verse fifteen of Daniel eleven Antiochus Magnus, known as Antiochus III and Antiochus the Great defeats the southern kingdom, represented by the Ptolemaic dynasty. Antiochus represents Donald Trump and the southern king represents Russia. The battle of Panium is the battle between the United States and Russia and Russia’s chosen people, a battle which Antiochus prevailed, but thereafter saw his kingdom conquered by literal Rome—the power of verse fourteen, that establishes the external vision of the Republican horn of the earth beast. The internal vision is represented by the Protestant horn of the earth beast. Both horns are at the battle of Panium, for Peter is there as a Protestant with his message from the book of Joel.

Dva roga zemaljske zvijeri iz Otkrivenja trinaest predstavljaju republikanizam i protestantizam. U petnaestom retku jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela Antioh Veliki, poznat kao Antioh III. i Antioh Veliki, pobjeđuje južno kraljevstvo, predstavljeno ptolemejskom dinastijom. Antioh predstavlja Donalda Trumpa, a južni kralj predstavlja Rusiju. Bitka kod Panija jest bitka između Sjedinjenih Država i Rusije te izabranog naroda Rusije, bitka u kojoj je Antioh nadvladao, ali je potom vidio kako njegovo kraljevstvo osvaja doslovni Rim — sila iz četrnaestog retka, koja uspostavlja vanjsko viđenje republikanskog roga zemaljske zvijeri. Unutarnje viđenje predstavljeno je protestantskim rogom zemaljske zvijeri. Oba su roga u bitki kod Panija, jer je ondje Petar kao protestant sa svojom porukom iz knjige o Joelu.

## 250 Years

250 godina

When we consider the two lines of the earth beast, we find that in 1776 the earth beast began its rise, and by 1798, (twenty-two years later) the sea beast of Revelation thirteen received its deadly wound, and the earth beast began its rule as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Two hundred and fifty years later, in 2026 we have awakened to the internal temple test that began May 8, 2025.

Kada razmotrimo dvije linije zemaljske zvijeri, nalazimo da je 1776. zemaljska zvijer započela svoj uspon, a do 1798. (dvadeset i dvije godine kasnije) morska zvijer iz trinaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja zadobila je svoju smrtonosnu ranu, te je zemaljska zvijer započela svoju vladavinu kao šesto kraljevstvo biblijskog proroštva. Dvjesto pedeset godina kasnije, 2026. godine probudili smo se za ispit unutarnjega hrama koji je započeo 8. svibnja 2025.

Those “250” years are also connected with Antiochus Magnus. Beginning with the decree in 457 BC and projecting from that decree two hundred and fifty years we arrive at 207, seven years before the battle of Panium, and ten years after Ptolemy defeated Antiochus at the battle of Raphia, which is represented in verse eleven of Daniel eleven. Daniel 11:11 is of course the external line of the Republican horn that aligns with Revelation 11:11, which is the internal line of the Protestant horn. Daniel and the Revelation are the same book, and Revelation employs the seals as symbols of external prophecy and the churches as symbols of the parallel internal prophecy.

Tih „250” godina također je povezano s Antiohom Velikim. Počevši od dekreta iz 457. pr. Kr. i projicirajući od toga dekreta dvjesto pedeset godina, dolazimo do 207., sedam godina prije bitke kod Panija i deset godina nakon što je Ptolemej porazio Antioha u bitci kod Rafije, što je prikazano u jedanaestom retku jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela. Daniel 11:11 je, naravno, vanjska linija republikanskog roga koja se podudara s Otkrivenjem 11:11, koje je unutarnja linija protestantskog roga. Daniel i Otkrivenje ista su knjiga, a Otkrivenje upotrebljava pečate kao simbole vanjskog proročanstva i crkve kao simbole usporednog unutarnjeg proročanstva.

Cyrus represents all three decrees, for you cannot have a third without a first and a second.

Kir predstavlja sva tri dekreta, jer ne može postojati treći bez prvoga i drugoga.

> “In the seventh chapter of Ezra the decree is found. Verses 12–26. In its completest form it was issued by Artaxerxes, king of Persia, 457 BC. But in Ezra 6:14 the house of the Lord at Jerusalem is said to have been built ‘according to the commandment [“decree,” margin] of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.’ These three kings, in originating, reaffirming, and completing the decree, brought it to the perfection required by the prophecy to mark the beginning of the 2300 years. Taking 457 BC, the time when the decree was completed, as the date of the commandment, every specification of the prophecy concerning the seventy weeks was seen to have been fulfilled.” The Great Controversy, 326.

> „U sedmom poglavlju Ezre nalazi se odredba. Redci 12–26. U svome najpotpunijem obliku izdao ju je Artakserkso, kralj Perzije, 457. pr. Kr. No u Ezri 6,14 za Dom Gospodnji u Jeruzalemu kaže se da je bio sagrađen ‘po zapovijedi [„odredbi”, margina] Kira, Darija i Artakserksa, kralja Perzije.’ Ta su tri kralja, uspostavljajući, ponovno potvrđujući i dovršavajući odredbu, dovela je do savršenstva koje je zahtijevalo proroštvo da označi početak 2300 godina. Uzimajući 457. pr. Kr., vrijeme kada je odredba bila dovršena, kao datum zapovijedi, vidjelo se da je bilo ispunjeno svako obilježje proroštva u vezi sa sedamdeset tjedana.” Velika borba, 326.

From the three decrees that are represented by Cyrus in 457 BC, “250” years concludes in the history between the battle of Raphia in 217 BC, when Ptolemy IV defeated Antiochus the Great and 200 BC when Antiochus then defeated Ptolemy at the battle of Panium in verse fifteen. The line aligns Antiochus Magnus with Donald Trump. At the beginning of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1776 unto 1798 there is a period of “22” years that represent the rise of the sixth kingdom. Those “22” years also illustrate the history represented by the number “22” at the end of the history of the sixth kingdom from 2001 unto 2023. “22” is the symbol of the combination of Divinity with humanity which is accomplished within the history of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, who is the earth beast with an external horn of Republicanism and an internal horn of Protestantism.

Od triju uredbi koje predstavlja Kir iz 457. pr. Kr., „250“ godina završava u povijesti između bitke kod Rafije 217. pr. Kr., kada je Ptolemej IV. porazio Antioha Velikoga, i 200. pr. Kr., kada je Antioh potom porazio Ptolemeja u bitci kod Panija u petnaestom retku. Ta linija usklađuje Antioha Magna s Donaldom Trumpom. Na početku šestoga kraljevstva biblijskoga proročanstva, od 1776. do 1798., postoji razdoblje od „22“ godine koje predstavlja uspon šestoga kraljevstva. Tih „22“ godine također prikazuju povijest predstavljenu brojem „22“ na kraju povijesti šestoga kraljevstva, od 2001. do 2023. „22“ je simbol sjedinjenja božanstva s čovještvom, koje se ostvaruje unutar povijesti šestoga kraljevstva biblijskoga proročanstva, a to je zvijer iz zemlje s vanjskim rogom republikanizma i unutarnjim rogom protestantizma.

The work Christ accomplishes with the union represented by “22” is the final work of Christ in the Most Holy Place, that is represented by the blotting out of sin, which according to Joel accompanied with Peter’s inspired commentary takes place during the outpouring of the latter rain.

Djelo koje Krist ostvaruje sa sjedinjenjem predstavljenim brojem „22” jest završno Kristovo djelo u Svetinji nad svetinjama, koje je predstavljeno brisanjem grijeha, a koje se, prema Joelu uz Petrovo nadahnuto tumačenje, zbiva tijekom izlijevanja kasne kiše.

> Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Acts 3:19.

> Pokajte se, dakle, i obratite se, da se izbrišu grijesi vaši, kako bi došla vremena okrepe od lica Gospodnjega. Djela 3,19.

The blotting out of sin is the last work of the heavenly High Priest.

Brisanje grijeha posljednje je djelo nebeskoga Velikoga Svećenika.

> “As anciently the sins of the people were by faith placed upon the sin offering and through its blood transferred, in figure, to the earthly sanctuary, so in the new covenant the sins of the repentant are by faith placed upon Christ and transferred, in fact, to the heavenly sanctuary. And as the typical cleansing of the earthly was accomplished by the removal of the sins by which it had been polluted, so the actual cleansing of the heavenly is to be accomplished by the removal, or blotting out, of the sins which are there recorded. But before this can be accomplished, there must be an examination of the books of record to determine who, through repentance of sin and faith in Christ, are entitled to the benefits of His atonement. The cleansing of the sanctuary therefore involves a work of investigation—a work of judgment. This work must be performed prior to the coming of Christ to redeem His people; for when He comes, His reward is with Him to give to every man according to his works. Revelation 22:12.” The Great Controversy, 421.

> „Kao što su se u davnini grijesi naroda vjerom polagali na žrtvu za grijeh i njezinom krvlju, slikovito, prenosili u zemaljsko Svetište, tako se u novome Savezu grijesi onih koji se kaju vjerom polažu na Krista i stvarno prenose u nebesko Svetište. I kao što se tipsko očišćenje zemaljskoga Svetišta izvršavalo uklanjanjem grijeha kojima je ono bilo okaljano, tako se stvarno očišćenje nebeskoga ima izvršiti uklanjanjem, odnosno brisanjem, grijeha koji su ondje zabilježeni. Ali prije nego što se to može izvršiti, mora uslijediti pregled zapisničkih knjiga kako bi se utvrdilo tko, pokajanjem za grijeh i vjerom u Krista, ima pravo na blagodati Njegove pomirbe. Očišćenje Svetišta stoga uključuje djelo ispitivanja — djelo suda. To se djelo mora izvršiti prije Kristova dolaska da otkupi svoj narod; jer kad On dođe, nagrada je Njegova s Njime da uzvrati svakome prema njegovim djelima. Otkrivenje 22,12.” Velika borba, 421.

The work that began on October 22, 1844, began at the climax of the Midnight Cry and the work is finished at the climax of the Midnight Cry, which Peter identifies as the period of the blotting out sin, which marks the period of the judgment of the living, when the “times of refreshing” arrives.

Djelo koje je započelo 22. listopada 1844. započelo je na vrhuncu Ponoćnog pokliča, a djelo se dovršava na vrhuncu Ponoćnog pokliča, što Petar prepoznaje kao razdoblje brisanja grijeha, koje označava razdoblje suda nad živima, kada dolaze „vremena osvježenja“.

> “The work of the investigative judgment and the blotting out of sins is to be accomplished before the second advent of the Lord. Since the dead are to be judged out of the things written in the books, it is impossible that the sins of men should be blotted out until after the judgment at which their cases are to be investigated. But the apostle Peter distinctly states that the sins of believers will be blotted out ‘when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus Christ.’ Acts 3:19, 20. When the investigative judgment closes, Christ will come, and His reward will be with Him to give to every man as his work shall be.” The Great Controversy, 485.

> „Djelo istražnoga suda i brisanja grijeha treba se izvršiti prije drugoga dolaska Gospodina. Budući da će se mrtvima suditi prema onome što je zapisano u knjigama, nemoguće je da grijesi ljudi budu izbrisani prije suda na kojemu njihovi slučajevi trebaju biti istraženi. Ali apostol Petar izričito izjavljuje da će grijesi vjernika biti izbrisani ‘kad dođu vremena osvježenja od lica Gospodnjega; i da pošalje Isusa Krista’. Djela 3:19, 20. Kad se istražni sud završi, Krist će doći, i plaća će Njegova biti s Njime da uzvrati svakomu kako bude djelo njegovo.“ Velika borba, 485.

The “times of refreshing” are also the “times of the restitution of all things.”

„vremena okrjepe” ujedno su i „vremena obnove svega”.

> Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3:19–21.

> Pokajte se dakle i obratite se da se izbrišu vaši grijesi, kako bi došla vremena osvježenja od lica Gospodnjega; i da pošalje Isusa Krista, koji vam je unaprijed naviješten; kojega nebo treba primiti do vremena obnove svega, o čemu je Bog govorio na usta svih svojih svetih proroka od postanka svijeta. Djela 3,19–21.

The “times of refreshing” comes “from the presence of the Lord” that occurs when “Jesus Christ” is sent. When the angel of Revelation ten descended on August 11, 1840, Sister White identified that the angel “was no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” The work Christ began on October 22, 1844 was ushered in by the history of 1840 to 1844; a history which Sister White says was “a glorious manifestation of the power of God,” while aligning that very history with the Pentecostal season in the time of Peter, and then using those two lines of prophetic history to point forward to the descent of the angel of Revelation eighteen who lightens the earth with His glory.

„Vremena osvježenja“ dolaze „od lica Gospodnjega“ i nastupaju kada je poslan „Isus Krist“. Kada je anđeo iz desetog poglavlja Otkrivenja sišao 11. kolovoza 1840., sestra White utvrdila je da taj anđeo „nije bio nitko manji od samoga Isusa Krista“. Djelo koje je Krist započeo 22. listopada 1844. bilo je uvedeno poviješću od 1840. do 1844.; poviješću za koju sestra White kaže da je bila „slavno očitovanje Božje sile“, dok tu istu povijest usklađuje s pentekostnim razdobljem u Petrovo vrijeme, a zatim se tim dvjema linijama proročke povijesti služi kako bi ukazala unaprijed na silazak anđela iz osamnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja koji rasvjetljuje zemlju svojom slavom.

> “The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel’s message is to lighten the whole earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.

> „Anđeo koji se ujedinjuje u naviještanju poruke trećega anđela treba obasjati svu zemlju svojom slavom. Ovdje je prorečeno djelo svjetskih razmjera i neobične snage. Adventni pokret od 1840. do 1844. bio je veličanstvena objava Božje sile; poruka prvoga anđela bila je odnesena do svake misionarske postaje u svijetu, a u nekim je zemljama vladalo najveće vjersko zanimanje kakvo je u ijednoj zemlji viđeno od Reformacije šesnaestoga stoljeća; ali sve to treba biti nadmašeno silnim pokretom pod posljednjim upozorenjem trećega anđela.

> “The work will be similar to that of the Day of Pentecost. As the ‘former rain’ was given, in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the opening of the gospel, to cause the upspringing of the precious seed, so the ‘latter rain’ will be given at its close for the ripening of the harvest. ‘Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.’ Hosea 6:3. ‘Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain.’ Joel 2:23. ‘In the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh.’ ‘And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ Acts 2:17, 21.

> „Djelo će biti slično onomu na Dan Pedesetnice. Kao što je „rani dažd“ bio dan, u izlijevanju Duha Svetoga na početku evanđelja, da uzrokuje nicanje dragocjenoga sjemena, tako će „kasni dažd“ biti dan pri njegovu svršetku za sazrijevanje žetve. „Tada ćemo poznati, ako nastavimo težiti da poznamo Gospodina: izlazak je Njegov pripravan kao zora; i doći će nam kao dažd, kao kasni i rani dažd zemlji.“ Hošea 6,3. „Radujte se stoga, sinovi sionski, i veselite se u Gospodinu, Bogu svojemu: jer vam je dao rani dažd umjereno, i učinit će da za vas siđe dažd, rani dažd i kasni dažd.“ Joel 2,23. „U posljednje dane, govori Bog, izlit ću od Duha svojega na svako tijelo.“ „I dogodit će se da će se spasiti svatko tko prizove ime Gospodnje.“ Djela 2,17.21.

> “The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening. The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring of the former rain at the opening of the gospel are again to be fulfilled in the latter rain at its close. Here are ‘the times of refreshing’ to which the apostle Peter looked forward when he said: ‘Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus.’ Acts 3:19, 20.” The Great Controversy, 611.

> „Veliko djelo evanđelja ne smije završiti s manjim očitovanjem Božje sile od onoga koje je obilježilo njegov početak. Proročanstva koja su se ispunila u izlijevanju ranoga dažda na početku evanđelja ponovno se imaju ispuniti u kasnome daždu pri njegovu završetku. To su ‘vremena osvježenja’ na koja je apostol Petar unaprijed gledao kada je rekao: ‘Pokajte se dakle i obratite se da se izbrišu grijesi vaši, kada dođu vremena osvježenja od lica Gospodnjega; i da pošalje Isusa Krista.’ Djela 3:19, 20.” Velika borba, 611.

The Advent movement of 1840 to 1844 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God that ushered in the opening of the work of Christ in cleansing His sanctuary. That history began when Jesus, represented as the first angel of Revelation fourteen, descended on August 11, 1840 as represented in chapter ten of Revelation. The manifestation of the power of God that then began escalated to the opening of the investigative judgment, and therefore typified a manifestation of the power of God which would escalate to the close of the investigative judgment. The period at the end began at 9/11, when Jesus again descended as the angel of Revelation eighteen when the great buildings of New York were brought down by the touch of God, and the work of the investigative judgment changed from the dead, unto the living. The rains arrive when Jesus is sent.

Adventni pokret od 1840. do 1844. bio je slavno očitovanje Božje sile koje je uvelo otvaranje Kristova djela u čišćenju Njegova svetišta. Ta je povijest započela kada je Isus, prikazan kao prvi anđeo iz Otkrivenja četrnaest, sišao 11. kolovoza 1840., kako je prikazano u desetom poglavlju Otkrivenja. Očitovanje Božje sile koje je tada započelo pojačavalo se sve do otvaranja istražnoga suda te je stoga predstavljalo prasliku očitovanja Božje sile koje će se pojačavati sve do završetka istražnoga suda. Razdoblje na svršetku započelo je 11. rujna, kada je Isus ponovno sišao kao anđeo iz Otkrivenja osamnaest, kad su velike zgrade New Yorka bile oborene Božjim dodirom, a djelo istražnoga suda promijenilo se s mrtvih na žive. Kiše dolaze kada je Isus poslan.

Jesus taught that we are to ask in order to receive, and Zechariah says we are to ask for the latter rain, in the time of the latter rain. It is therefore evident you must know that you are in the time of the latter rain, in order to fulfill Zechariah’s direction.

Isus je učio da trebamo tražiti da bismo primili, a Zaharija kaže da trebamo moliti za dažd kasni, u vrijeme dažda kasnoga. Stoga je očito da morate znati da se nalazite u vremenu dažda kasnoga kako biste ispunili Zaharijinu uputu.

> 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. Zechariah 10:1.

> Ištite od Gospodina dažda u vrijeme kasnoga dažda; i Gospodin će načiniti sjajne oblake i dati im pljuskove dažda, svakomu travu u polju. Zaharija 10,1.

At 9/11 Jesus descended as the angel of Revelation eighteen and the latter rain began to sprinkle, but it only falls on those who meet Zechariah’s command to “ask for the latter rain,” when you have the genuine understanding that “the times of refreshing” and restoration of all things has arrived. The soul must “recognize” that the prophetic period of the latter rain has arrived.

Na 9/11 Isus je sišao kao anđeo iz osamnaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja i kasna je kiša počela škropiti, ali pada samo na one koji ispunjavaju Zaharijinu zapovijed da „ištu kasnu kišu”, kada imate istinsko razumijevanje da je nastupilo „vrijeme okrepe” i obnove svega. Duša mora „prepoznati” da je nastupilo proročko razdoblje kasne kiše.

> “We must not wait for the latter rain. It is coming upon all who will recognize and appropriate the dew and showers of grace that fall upon us. When we gather up the fragments of light, when we appreciate the sure mercies of God, who loves to have us trust Him, then every promise will be fulfilled. [Isaiah 61:11 quoted.] The whole earth is to be filled with the glory of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.

> „Ne smijemo čekati kasnu kišu. Ona dolazi na sve koji će prepoznati i prisvojiti rosu i pljuskove milosti što padaju na nas. Kada skupimo djeliće svjetla, kada cijenimo sigurne milosti Božje, koji voli da Mu vjerujemo, tada će se ispuniti svako obećanje. [citiran Izaija 61,11.] Sva zemlja treba biti ispunjena slavom Božjom.“ The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, svezak 7, 984.

At 9/11 the times of refreshing began, and the blotting out of the sins of the living began. That judgment is aligned with the very first tenant of the three-step covenant of Abraham. That first tenant was that when the Lord brought Israel out of Egyptian bondage He would judge both His covenant people, and the nation where they had been living as pilgrims and strangers. The first covenant people typified the last covenant people who are the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Those prophetic people will be judged as the Protestant horn of the earth beast, while the Republican horn of the earth beast is simultaneously judged.

Na 11. rujna počela su vremena osvježenja, i započelo je brisanje grijeha živih. Taj je sud usklađen sa samim prvim načelom trodijelnoga Abrahamova saveza. To prvo načelo bilo je da će, kada Gospod izvede Izrael iz egipatskoga ropstva, suditi i svome savezničkom narodu i narodu u kojemu su živjeli kao došljaci i stranci. Prvi saveznički narod predstavljao je posljednji saveznički narod, a to su sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Tim će se proročkim narodom suditi kao protestantskom rogu zemaljske zvijeri, dok se republikanskom rogu zemaljske zvijeri istodobno sudi.

The judgment of the Republican horn comes at the end of its history, which is the Sunday law. The Sunday law is represented in verse sixteen’s fulfillment of Rome taking control of Judah in 63 BC—on the Day of Atonement according to some historians.

Sud republikanskoga roga dolazi na kraju njegove povijesti, što je nedjeljni zakon. Nedjeljni zakon prikazan je u ispunjenju šesnaestoga retka, kada je Rim preuzeo nadzor nad Judom 63. pr. Kr. — na Dan pomirenja, prema nekim povjesničarima.

Antiochus Magnus, represents the United States in verses ten through fifteen. Ronald Reagan prevailed in the battle of verse ten, that typified verse forty’s collapse of the Soviet Union. Isaiah 8:8 identifies the same battle represented in verses ten and forty of Daniel eleven, and those three parallel verses allow Russia to be identified as the victor in verse eleven’s battle of Raphia.

Antioh Veliki predstavlja Sjedinjene Američke Države u redcima deset do petnaest. Ronald Reagan odnio je pobjedu u bitci iz retka deset, koja je predoznačila raspad Sovjetskog Saveza iz retka četrdeset. Izaija 8,8 poistovjećuje istu bitku koja je prikazana u retcima deset i četrdeset Daniela jedanaest, a ta tri usporedna retka omogućuju da se Rusija prepozna kao pobjednik u bitci kod Rafije iz retka jedanaest.

The battle of Raphia in verse eleven prefigured the war in Ukraine between the king of the south (Russia) and the papacy’s proxy power (the Ukraine). The war was initiated by the Obama Administration in the time of the first pope from the southern hemisphere, who was also the first pope from the America’s, though it was south America. “South” is a symbol of globalism, spiritualism and communism, and the first southern pope from the America’s aligned with the globalist president Obama, when the war of verse eleven arrived. Reagan as the United States in verse ten entered into a secret alliance with a conservative pope; then the Nazi’s of Ukraine were employed by a globalist president in a period of a globalist pope. The United States under Trump, is now in an open relationship with the first north American, and so-called conservative pope.

Bitka kod Rafije u jedanaestom retku predoznačila je rat u Ukrajini između kralja juga (Rusije) i zamjenske sile papinstva (Ukrajine). Rat je pokrenula Obamina administracija u vrijeme prvoga pape s južne hemisfere, koji je ujedno bio i prvi papa iz Amerikâ, premda iz Južne Amerike. „Jug” je simbol globalizma, spiritualizma i komunizma, a prvi južni papa iz Amerikâ uskladio se s globalističkim predsjednikom Obamom kada je nastupio rat iz jedanaestog retka. Reagan kao Sjedinjene Države u desetom retku stupio je u tajni savez s konzervativnim papom; zatim su nacisti iz Ukrajine bili upotrijebljeni od globalističkoga predsjednika u razdoblju globalističkoga pape. Sjedinjene Države pod Trumpom sada su u otvorenom odnosu s prvim sjevernoameričkim i takozvanim konzervativnim papom.

Reagan had a secret alliance with the antichrist of Bible prophecy in the battle of verse ten, and Obama initiated the battle of verse eleven, in a period when the pope was also a globalist, like unto Obama. Trump is now in an open relationship with a parallel pope to Reagan, with the exception that the initial secret alliance, is now an open alliance. The three popes, and the three presidents, align with the three battles of verses ten, eleven and fifteen.

Reagan je imao tajni savez s antikristom biblijskog proroštva u bitci iz desetoga retka, a Obama je započeo bitku iz jedanaestoga retka, u razdoblju kada je i papa bio globalist, nalik Obami. Trump je sada u otvorenom odnosu s papom koji je paralelan Reaganovu, s tom iznimkom da je početni tajni savez sada otvoreni savez. Trojica papa i trojica predsjednika podudaraju se s trima bitkama iz desetoga, jedanaestoga i petnaestoga retka.

> “Marvelous in her shrewdness and cunning is the Roman Church. She can read what is to be. She bides her time, seeing that the Protestant churches are paying her homage in their acceptance of the false sabbath and that they are preparing to enforce it by the very means which she herself employed in bygone days. Those who reject the light of truth will yet seek the aid of this self-styled infallible power to exalt an institution that originated with her. How readily she will come to the help of Protestants in this work it is not difficult to conjecture. Who understands better than the papal leaders how to deal with those who are disobedient to the church?

> „Zadivljujuća je po svojoj pronicavosti i lukavosti Rimska Crkva. Ona može razabrati što će biti. Ona čeka svoje vrijeme, videći da joj protestantske crkve odaju počast prihvaćanjem lažnoga subotnjeg dana i da se pripremaju nametnuti ga upravo onim sredstvima kojima se i sama služila u prošlim vremenima. Oni koji odbacuju svjetlo istine ipak će potražiti pomoć ove samoproglašene nepogrješive sile da uzvisi ustanovu koja je potekla od nje. Koliko će spremno priteći u pomoć protestantima u tom djelu, nije teško naslutiti. Tko bolje od papinskih vođa razumije kako postupati s onima koji su neposlušni crkvi?“

> “The Roman Catholic Church, with all its ramifications throughout the world, forms one vast organization under the control, and designed to serve the interests, of the papal see. Its millions of communicants, in every country on the globe, are instructed to hold themselves as bound in allegiance to the pope. Whatever their nationality or their government, they are to regard the authority of the church as above all other. Though they may take the oath pledging their loyalty to the state, yet back of this lies the vow of obedience to Rome, absolving them from every pledge inimical to her interests.

> „Rimokatolička crkva, sa svim svojim ograncima diljem svijeta, tvori jednu golemu organizaciju pod nadzorom papinske stolice i zamišljenu da služi njezinim interesima. Njezini milijuni vjernika, u svakoj zemlji na kugli zemaljskoj, poučeni su da se smatraju vezanima odanošću papi. Kakva god bila njihova narodnost ili njihova vlast, oni trebaju smatrati autoritet crkve iznad svakoga drugoga. Premda mogu položiti prisegu kojom jamče svoju vjernost državi, ipak iza toga stoji zavjet poslušnosti Rimu, koji ih oslobađa od svake obveze protivne njezinim interesima.“

> “History testifies of her artful and persistent efforts to insinuate herself into the affairs of nations; and having gained a foothold, to further her own aims, even at the ruin of princes and people. In the year 1204, Pope Innocent III extracted from Peter II, king of Arragon, the following extraordinary oath: ‘I, Peter, king of Arragonians, profess and promise to be ever faithful and obedient to my lord, Pope Innocent, to his Catholic successors, and the Roman Church, and faithfully to preserve my kingdom in his obedience, defending the Catholic faith, and persecuting heretical pravity.’—John Dowling, The History of Romanism, b. 5, ch. 6, sec. 55. This is in harmony with the claims regarding the power of the Roman pontiff ‘that it is lawful for him to depose emperors’ and ‘that he can absolve subjects from their allegiance to unrighteous rulers.’—Mosheim, b. 3, cent. 11, pt. 2, ch. 2, sec. 9, note 17.

> „Povijest svjedoči o njezinim vještim i ustrajnim nastojanjima da se uvuče u poslove naroda; i, stekavši uporište, da zatim unapređuje vlastite ciljeve, čak i uz propast knezova i puka. Godine 1204. papa Inocent III. iznudio je od Petra II., kralja Aragona, sljedeću neobičnu prisegu: ‘Ja, Petar, kralj Aragonaca, izjavljujem i obećavam da ću uvijek biti vjeran i poslušan svojemu gospodaru, papi Inocentu, njegovim katoličkim nasljednicima i Rimskoj Crkvi, te da ću vjerno čuvati svoje kraljevstvo u njegovoj poslušnosti, braneći katoličku vjeru i progoneći heretičku opačinu.’—John Dowling, The History of Romanism, b. 5, ch. 6, sec. 55. To je u skladu s tvrdnjama o vlasti rimskoga pontifika „da mu je dopušteno svrgnuti careve“ i „da može podanike razriješiti njihove odanosti nepravednim vladarima.“—Mosheim, b. 3, cent. 11, pt. 2, ch. 2, sec. 9, note 17.

> “And let it be remembered, it is the boast of Rome that she never changes. The principles of Gregory VII and Innocent III are still the principles of the Roman Catholic Church. And had she but the power, she would put them in practice with as much vigor now as in past centuries. Protestants little know what they are doing when they propose to accept the aid of Rome in the work of Sunday exaltation. While they are bent upon the accomplishment of their purpose, Rome is aiming to re-establish her power, to recover her lost supremacy. Let the principle once be established in the United States that the church may employ or control the power of the state; that religious observances may be enforced by secular laws; in short, that the authority of church and state is to dominate the conscience, and the triumph of Rome in this country is assured.

> „I neka se zapamti: Rim se hvali time da se nikada ne mijenja. Načela Grgura VII. i Inocenta III. još su uvijek načela Rimokatoličke crkve. A kad bi samo imala moć, provodila bi ih s istom žestinom danas kao i u prošlim stoljećima. Protestanti slabo znaju što čine kada predlažu da prihvate pomoć Rima u djelu uzdizanja nedjelje. Dok su oni usredotočeni na ostvarenje svoje nakane, Rim teži ponovno uspostaviti svoju moć, povratiti svoju izgubljenu vrhovnu vlast. Jednom li se u Sjedinjenim Državama uspostavi načelo da crkva može upotrebljavati ili nadzirati vlast države; da se vjerski obredi mogu nametati svjetovnim zakonima; ukratko, da vlast crkve i države treba zagospodariti savješću, trijumf Rima u ovoj zemlji bit će osiguran.“

> “God’s word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution.” The Great Controversy, 580, 581.

> „Božja riječ dala je upozorenje o nadolazećoj opasnosti; neka se na to ne obrati pozornost, i protestantski će svijet spoznati koje su doista namjere Rima tek kada bude prekasno da izbjegne zamku. Ona potiho raste u moći. Njezini nauci vrše svoj utjecaj u zakonodavnim dvoranama, u crkvama i u srcima ljudi. Ona podiže svoje uzvišene i goleme građevine, u čijim će se tajnim skrovištima ponoviti njezina prijašnja progonstva. Potajno i neopaženo ona jača svoje snage kako bi promicala vlastite ciljeve kad dođe vrijeme da zada udarac. Sve što ona želi jest povoljan položaj, a to joj se već daje. Uskoro ćemo vidjeti i osjetiti koja je namjera rimskog elementa. Tko god bude vjerovao i poslušao Božju riječ, time će navući na sebe prijekor i progonstvo.” Velika borba, 580, 581.

In 2016 Trump was elected, then the globalists represented by Biden stole the election of 2020, but that is only recognized by those who have 20/20 vision. In verse thirteen Donald Trump “returns” in 2024, with more power than ever, and begins his preparation for the golden age as well as the battle of Panium in verse fifteen. Then Leo the pope arrived to establish the vision in 2025, the third pope associated with the three battles of verses ten through fifteen, and also with the three presidents of those battles. The first and third popes and presidents are considered conservative, and the middle pope and president were globalists. The first alliance was secret, the last is open, for it is represented in verse fourteen as the symbol that establishes the external vision of the prophecies of the latter days.

Godine 2016. Trump je izabran, zatim su globalisti koje predstavlja Biden ukrali izbore 2020., no to prepoznaju samo oni koji imaju vid 20/20. U trinaestom retku Donald Trump se „vraća” 2024., s više moći nego ikada prije, i započinje svoju pripravu za zlatno doba, kao i za bitku kod Panija u petnaestom retku. Tada je došao papa Lav kako bi uspostavio viđenje 2025., treći papa povezan s trima bitkama iz redaka deset do petnaest, a također i s trojicom predsjednika tih bitaka. Prvi i treći papa te predsjednici smatraju se konzervativnima, a srednji papa i predsjednik bili su globalisti. Prvi savez bio je tajan, posljednji je otvoren, jer je u četrnaestom retku prikazan kao simbol koji uspostavlja vanjsko viđenje proročanstava o posljednjim danima.

On December 31, 2023 the work of the first angel, as typified by the work of the first decree began laying the foundation. The foundational test was over whether William Miller was correct or incorrect in his identification that it was Rome that establishes the vision in verse fourteen. Miller’s identification of Rome as the symbol that established the prophetic vision of the latter days is in some aspects the most significant of all of Miller’s foundational truths. How Miller arrived at certain understandings can only be derived from applying sanctified logic to his time and circumstances, but with some of his prophetic discoveries there is very specific testimony as to why he came to his understandings. The most fundamental of his understandings was his identification that it is Rome that establishes the vision.

Dana 31. prosinca 2023. djelo prvoga anđela, kako je predoznačeno djelom prvoga dekreta, počelo je polagati temelj. Temeljni ispit odnosio se na to je li William Miller bio u pravu ili u krivu u svojem poistovjećenju da je Rim taj koji uspostavlja viđenje u četrnaestom retku. Millerovo poistovjećenje Rima kao simbola koji je uspostavio proročko viđenje posljednjih dana, u nekim je pogledima najznačajnija od svih Millerovih temeljnih istina. Kako je Miller došao do određenih razumijevanja može se razabrati jedino primjenom posvećene logike na njegovo vrijeme i okolnosti, ali za neka od njegovih proročkih otkrića postoji vrlo određeno svjedočanstvo o tome zašto je došao do svojih razumijevanja. Najtemeljnije od njegovih razumijevanja bilo je njegovo poistovjećenje da je Rim taj koji uspostavlja viđenje.

Miller directly testifies how he searched to understand what it was that was “taken away” in the book of Daniel. He not only identifies where he found his answer, but he speaks of his excitement when he discovered the jewel, he had been searching for. Apollos Hale records a commentary upon Miller’s own writings, and in the following passage Hale is identifying how Miller became a student of prophecy. Miller, as the messenger of the light which was unsealed in 1798, is a sacred example of those who Daniel called the “wise” who “understand” when the book is “unsealed.” Miller’s testimony of how he was led into studying the Bible is a purposeful example by the One who controls all things. Pay attention to Miller’s development, for he is the example of the wise who understand the increase of knowledge, even if they, as Miller, come out from the darkness of error.

Miller izravno svjedoči kako je tragao da bi razumio što je to bilo „uklonjeno” u knjizi proroka Daniela. On ne samo da utvrđuje gdje je pronašao svoj odgovor, nego govori i o svojem uzbuđenju kada je otkrio dragulj koji je tražio. Apollos Hale bilježi komentar na temelju Millerovih vlastitih spisa, a u sljedećem odlomku Hale pokazuje kako je Miller postao proučavatelj proroštva. Miller je, kao glasnik svjetla koje je bilo zapečaćeno do 1798., sveti primjer onih koje je Daniel nazvao „mudrima” koji „razumiju” kada je knjiga „otpečaćena”. Millerovo svjedočanstvo o tome kako je bio uveden u proučavanje Biblije namjeran je primjer od Onoga koji upravlja svim stvarima. Obratite pozornost na Millerov razvoj, jer on je primjer mudrih koji razumiju porast znanja, čak i ako oni, poput Millera, izlaze iz tame zablude.

> “‘In the month of May, 1816, I was brought under conviction, and O, what horror filled my soul! I forgot to eat. The heavens appeared like brass, and the earth like iron. Thus I continued till October, when God opened my eyes; and O, my soul, what a Saviour I discovered Jesus to be! My sins fell like a burden from my soul: and then how plain the Bible seemed to me! It all spoke of Jesus; he was in every page and every line. O, that was a happy day! I wanted to go right home to heaven; Jesus was all to me, and I thought I could make everybody else see him as I saw him, but I was mistaken.

> “‘U mjesecu svibnju 1816. bio sam doveden pod osvjedočenje, i o, kakav je užas ispunio moju dušu! Zaboravio sam jesti. Nebesa su se činila kao mjed, a zemlja kao željezo. Tako sam nastavio do listopada, kada mi je Bog otvorio oči; i o, dušo moja, kakvim sam Spasiteljem otkrio Isusa da jest! Moji su grijesi pali kao breme s moje duše; a tada mi se Biblija učinila tako jasnom! Sve je govorilo o Isusu; on je bio na svakoj stranici i u svakome retku. O, to je bio sretan dan! Htio sam odmah poći kući u nebo; Isus mi je bio sve, i mislio sam da bih mogao učiniti da ga svi drugi vide kao što sam ga ja vidio, ali sam se prevario.

> “‘During, the twelve years I was a deist, I read all histories I could find; but now I loved the Bible. It taught of Jesus! But still there was a good deal of the Bible that was dark to me. In 1818 or 19, while conversing with a friend! To whom I made a visit, and who had known and heard me talk while I was a deist, he inquired, in rather a significant manner, “What do you think of this text, and that?” referring to the old texts I objected to while a deist. I understood what he was about, and replied—If you will give me time, I will tell you what they mean. “How long time do you want?” I don’t know, but I will tell you, I replied, for I could not believe that God had given a revelation that could not be understood. I then resolved to study my Bible, believing I could find out what the Holy Spirit meant. But as soon as I had formed this resolution the thought came to me—“Suppose you find a passage that you cannot understand, what will you do?”

> “„Tijekom dvanaest godina koliko sam bio deist, čitao sam sve povijesti koje sam mogao pronaći; no sada sam ljubio Bibliju. Ona je naučavala o Isusu! Ali ipak je dobar dio Biblije za mene bio taman. Godine 1818. ili 1819., dok sam razgovarao s jednim prijateljem, kojemu sam bio u posjetu i koji me je poznavao i slušao kako govorim dok sam bio deist, upitao me, prilično znakovito: „Što misliš o ovom retku, i onom?“ pozivajući se na stare retke kojima sam prigovarao dok sam bio deist. Razumio sam što smjera te sam odgovorio: Ako mi dadeš vremena, reći ću ti što znače. „Koliko vremena želiš?“ Ne znam, ali reći ću ti, odgovorio sam, jer nisam mogao vjerovati da je Bog dao objavu koja se ne bi mogla razumjeti. Tada sam odlučio proučavati svoju Bibliju, vjerujući da mogu otkriti što je Duh Sveti htio reći. Ali čim sam donio tu odluku, došla mi je misao: „Pretpostavimo da nađeš odlomak koji ne možeš razumjeti, što ćeš učiniti?“”

> “This mode of studying the Bible then came to my mind:—I will take the words of such passages, and trace them through the Bible, and find out their meaning in this way. I had Cruden’s Concordance, [purchased in 1798] which I think is the best in the world; so I took that and my Bible, and set down to my desk, and read nothing else, except the newspapers a little, for I was determined to know what my Bible meant. I began at Genesis, and read on slowly; and when I came to a text that I could not understand, I searched through the Bible to find out what it meant. After I had gone through the Bible in this way, O, how bright and glorious the truth appeared! I found what I have been preaching to you. I was satisfied that the seven times terminated in 1843. Then I came to the 2300 days; they brought me to the same conclusion; but I had no thought of finding out when the Saviour was coming, and I could not believe it; but the light struck me so forcibly I did not know what to do. Now, I thought, I must put on spurs and breeching; I will not go faster than the Bible, and I will not fall behind it. Whatever the Bible teaches, I will hold on to it. But still there were some texts that I could nor understand.”

> „Tada mi je na um došao ovaj način proučavanja Biblije: — Uzet ću riječi takvih odlomaka, pratiti ih kroz Bibliju i na taj način otkriti njihovo značenje. Imao sam Crudenovu konkordanciju [kupljenu 1798.], za koju smatram da je najbolja na svijetu; stoga sam uzeo nju i svoju Bibliju, sjeo za svoj stol i nisam čitao ništa drugo, osim pomalo novina, jer sam bio odlučan doznati što moja Biblija znači. Počeo sam od Postanka i čitao polako; a kad bih naišao na tekst koji nisam mogao razumjeti, pretraživao sam Bibliju kako bih otkrio što znači. Pošto sam na taj način prošao kroz Bibliju, o, kako se istina ukazala sjajnom i slavnom! Pronašao sam ono što sam vam propovijedao. Bio sam uvjeren da sedam vremena završava 1843. godine. Zatim sam došao do 2300 dana; i oni su me doveli do istoga zaključka; ali nisam ni pomišljao da ustanovim kada Spasitelj dolazi, i nisam mogao u to vjerovati; no svjetlo me je pogodilo tako snažno da nisam znao što da učinim. Sada sam pomislio: moram staviti ostruge i uzde; neću ići brže od Biblije, niti ću zaostajati za njom. Što god Biblija uči, toga ću se držati. Ali ipak je bilo nekih tekstova koje nisam mogao razumjeti.”

> “So much for his general mode of studying the Bible. On another occasion he stated his mode of settling the meaning of the text before us—the meaning of ‘the daily.’ ‘I read on,’ said he, ‘And could find no other case in which it was found, but in Daniel. I then took those words which stood in connection with it, “take away.” “He shall take away the daily,” “from the time the daily shall be taken away,” etc. I read on, and thought I should find no light on the text; finally I came to 2 Thessalonians 2:7, 8. ‘For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only he who now letteth, will let, until he be taken out of the way, and then shall that wicked be revealed,’ etc. And when I had come to that text, O, how clear and glorious the truth appeared! There it is! that is “the daily!” Well, now, what does Paul mean by “he who now letteth,” or hindereth? By “the man of sin,” and “the wicked,” Popery is meant. Well, what is it which hinders Popery from being revealed? Why, it is Paganism; well, then, “the daily” must mean Paganism.’” Apollos Hale, The Second Advent Manual, 66.

> „Toliko o njegovu općem načinu proučavanja Biblije. Drugom je prigodom iznio svoj način utvrđivanja značenja teksta koji je pred nama — značenja izraza ‘svagdašnja žrtva’. ‘Čitao sam dalje’, rekao je, ‘i nisam mogao naći nijedan drugi slučaj u kojem se to pojavljuje osim u Danielu. Tada sam uzeo one riječi koje su stajale u vezi s tim, „ukloniti“. „On će ukloniti svagdašnju žrtvu“, „od vremena kad svagdašnja žrtva bude uklonjena“ itd. Čitao sam dalje i mislio da neću naći nikakva svjetla o tom tekstu; naposljetku sam došao do 2. Solunjanima 2:7, 8. „Jer tajna bezakonja već djeluje, samo dok se ukloni onaj koji sada zadržava, i tada će se otkriti onaj bezakonik“ itd. A kad sam došao do toga teksta, o, kako se jasno i slavno pojavila istina! Tu je! to je „svagdašnja žrtva“! Dobro, dakle, što Pavao misli pod „onaj koji sada zadržava“, ili priječi? Pod „čovjekom grijeha“ i „bezakonikom“ misli se na papinstvo. Dobro, što je onda to što priječi da se papinstvo otkrije? Pa, to je poganstvo; dakle, „svagdašnja žrtva“ mora značiti poganstvo.’“ Apollos Hale, The Second Advent Manual, 66.

The Providential guidance of Miller’s study by both human and Divine is in the record. His old friend pushed him, and the thoughts which came to him were the voice of the angel Gabriel, who Sister White identifies “line upon line” as the angel who repeatedly visited Miller. He identifies the seven times as his first discovery and then identifies the 2,300 as the second witness to the seven times, for they both ended in 1843, (he initially believed). Those two prophecies are his alpha and omega discoveries, and within the prophetic relationship to Miller they identify the mistake that would be corrected by Samuel Snow with the message of the Midnight Cry that initiated the “seventh-month movement.” The movement of the Midnight Cry was the “seventh-month movement” when it left the Exeter camp meeting, for it was identifying the coming of the Lord on the tenth day of the seventh month, which in 1844 fell on October 22.

U zapisu je zabilježeno providnosno vodstvo Millerova proučavanja, i ljudsko i božansko. Njegov stari prijatelj poticao ga je, a misli koje su mu dolazile bile su glas anđela Gabriela, kojega sestra White prepoznaje „red po red” kao anđela koji je Millera opetovano posjećivao. On sedam vremena prepoznaje kao svoje prvo otkriće, a zatim 2.300 prepoznaje kao drugog svjedoka sedam vremena, jer su obje završavale 1843. godine (kako je isprva vjerovao). Ta dva proročanstva njegova su alfa i omega otkrića, a unutar proročkog odnosa prema Milleru ona prepoznaju pogrešku koju će Samuel Snow ispraviti porukom Ponoćnoga pokliča, koja je pokrenula „pokret sedmoga mjeseca”. Pokret Ponoćnoga pokliča bio je „pokret sedmoga mjeseca” kada je napustio taborni skup u Exeteru, jer je ukazivao na Gospodinov dolazak desetoga dana sedmoga mjeseca, koji je 1844. godine pao na 22. listopada.

The mistake that produces the empowerment of the second angel is represented by Miller’s initial understanding that the seven times and the 2,300 years concluded together in 1843. In the passage the next doctrine that is discussed is how Miller came to identify Rome as the symbol that establishes the vision. The Adventist history teachers identify that all of William Miller’s prophetic understandings were based upon his identifying two desolating powers. He understood those two desolating powers to be pagan and papal Rome, and he saw those two powers in 2 Thessalonians when he came to understand that the “daily” in the book of Daniel is pagan Rome. Every prophetic model set forth by Miller, who Sister White informs us was repeatedly visited by angels, was based upon his understanding that Rome establishes the vision. Every one!

Pogreška koja proizvodi osnaživanje drugoga anđela prikazana je Millerovim početnim razumijevanjem da se sedam vremena i 2.300 godina zajedno završavaju 1843. godine. U odlomku se sljedeće učenje o kojem se raspravlja odnosi na to kako je Miller došao do toga da Rim prepozna kao simbol koji uspostavlja viđenje. Učitelji adventističke povijesti utvrđuju da su sva proročka razumijevanja Williama Millera bila utemeljena na njegovu prepoznavanju dviju opustošujućih sila. Te je dvije opustošujuće sile razumio kao poganski i papinski Rim, i te je dvije sile vidio u 2. Solunjanima kada je došao do razumijevanja da je „svagdašnja“ u Danielovoj knjizi poganski Rim. Svaki proročki model koji je izložio Miller, kojega je, kako nas sestra White obavještava, višeput posjećivali anđeli, bio je zasnovan na njegovu razumijevanju da Rim uspostavlja viđenje. Svaki pojedini!

From December 31, 2023 the Lion of the tribe of Judah has been unsealing the Revelation of Jesus Christ. From that point the foundational test had begun, and it reached its conclusion when the first pope from the United States began his reign on May 8, 2025. At that point, the temple test began.

Od 31. prosinca 2023. Lav iz plemena Judina počeo je otpečaćivati Otkrivenje Isusa Krista. Od toga trenutka započela je temeljna kušnja, a svoj je završetak dosegla kada je prvi papa iz Sjedinjenih Država započeo svoju vladavinu 8. svibnja 2025. U tome je trenutku započela kušnja hrama.

We will continue these things in the next article and employ the “250” years as a witness to uphold our identification that the foundational test ended with the current pope.

Nastavit ćemo s ovim stvarima u sljedećem članku i upotrijebiti „250” godina kao svjedočanstvo koje potvrđuje našu identifikaciju da je temeljna kušnja završila s trenutnim papom.
