On July 18, 2020 the first disappointment of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand arrived. It occurred within the “hidden history” of verse forty of Daniel eleven. The disappointment occurred well into that “hidden history”—a history that began with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. Verse forty-one represents the Sunday law in the United States, that is also represented in verse sixteen of the same chapter. The “unsealing” of the truths that make up the “hidden history” of verse forty in 2023 is presented by Daniel in chapter twelve. Chapters ten through twelve are the same vision, and the vision begins by identifying that Daniel represents the “wise” who understand both the internal and external messages of prophecy, which is there represented as “the thing” and “the vision.”

Dana 18. srpnja 2020. stiglo je prvo razočaranje pokreta stotinu četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Ono se dogodilo unutar „skrivene povijesti” četrdesetog retka jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela. Razočaranje se dogodilo duboko unutar te „skrivene povijesti” — povijesti koja je započela slomom Sovjetskoga Saveza 1989. godine. Četrdeset i prvi redak predstavlja zakon o nedjelji u Sjedinjenim Državama, koji je također prikazan u šesnaestom retku istoga poglavlja. „Otpečaćenje” istina koje sačinjavaju „skrivenu povijest” četrdesetog retka 2023. godine Daniel izlaže u dvanaestom poglavlju. Poglavlja od deset do dvanaest čine isto viđenje, a viđenje započinje time što pokazuje da Daniel predstavlja „mudre” koji razumiju i unutarnje i vanjske poruke proročanstva, što je ondje prikazano kao „stvar” i „viđenje”.

> In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. Daniel 10:1.

> Treće godine Cira, kralja Perzije, otkrivena je riječ Danielu, koji se zvao Baltazar; i riječ bijaše istinita, ali određeno vrijeme bijaše dugo; i on razumje riječ te shvati viđenje. Daniel 10,1.

## Two Visions

Dvije vizije

The “thing” and the “vision” represent the internal and external visions of prophecy, and Daniel represents a people who understand both, for both the “thing” and the “vision” were “revealed” to Daniel in chapter ten. In the chapter, on the twenty-second day, the vision of Christ in the sanctuary was “revealed” to Daniel. The Hebrew word translated as “thing” is translated as “matter” in chapter nine, and it is also presented there in connection with the “vision.”

„Stvar“ i „viđenje“ predstavljaju unutarnje i vanjsko viđenje proročanstva, a Daniel predstavlja narod koji razumije oboje, jer su i „stvar“ i „viđenje“ bili „otkriveni“ Danielu u desetom poglavlju. U tom su poglavlju, dvadeset drugoga dana, Danielu bili „otkriveni“ viđenje Krista u Svetištu. Hebrejska riječ prevedena kao „stvar“ u devetom je poglavlju prevedena kao „predmet“, a i ondje je iznesena u vezi s „viđenjem“.

> At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Daniel 9:23.

> Na početku tvojih molitava izišla je zapovijed, i došao sam da ti objavim; jer si veoma ljubljen. Zato razumij riječ i razmotri viđenje. Daniel 9:23.

The word “thing” in chapter ten is the same word translated as “matter” in verse twenty-three of chapter nine. In Daniel’s final vision of chapters ten through twelve; the “thing” of chapter eleven or the “matter” of chapter ten are both connected with “the vision.” The “vision” is the Hebrew word, “mareh,” and means “appearance.” Daniel identifies two “visions” in his book, though one of those two “visions” is represented by in the feminine tense and then again in the masculine tense. Daniel in verse one of chapter ten represents those who understand the “vision” of the appearance, and also the “matter” or the “thing.” In chapter eight Daniel identifies two “visions” connected with one another. In the English the word vision is found eight times in the chapter, and one of the Hebrew words translated as “vision” is “mareh,” and the other is “chazon.” Mareh means “appearance,” and chazon means “a dream, a revelation or an oracle.” The context of chapter eight establishes that when the word “mareh” is translated as “vision” it represents the “appearance of Christ.”

Riječ „stvar” u desetom poglavlju ista je riječ koja je u dvadeset trećem retku devetoga poglavlja prevedena kao „predmet”. U Danielovu posljednjem viđenju, u poglavljima od deset do dvanaest, „stvar” iz jedanaestoga poglavlja ili „predmet” iz desetoga poglavlja oboje su povezani s „viđenjem”. „Viđenje” je hebrejska riječ „mareh” i znači „pojava”. Daniel u svojoj knjizi prepoznaje dva „viđenja”, premda je jedno od ta dva „viđenja” predstavljeno najprije u ženskom rodu, a zatim ponovno u muškom rodu. Daniel u prvom retku desetoga poglavlja ukazuje na one koji razumiju „viđenje” pojave, kao i „predmet” ili „stvar”. U osmom poglavlju Daniel prepoznaje dva „viđenja” međusobno povezana. U engleskom se riječ vision u tome poglavlju pojavljuje osam puta, a jedna od hebrejskih riječi prevedenih kao „viđenje” jest „mareh”, a druga je „chazon”. Mareh znači „pojava”, a chazon znači „san, otkrivenje ili proroštvo”. Kontekst osmoga poglavlja utvrđuje da, kada je riječ „mareh” prevedena kao „viđenje”, ona predstavlja „pojavu Krista”.

As an example, it is the “mareh” or the “appearance vision” in Daniel 8:14, meaning that on October 22, 1844 Christ would suddenly appear in the temple in fulfillment of Malachi three’s Messenger of the Covenant, which Sister White said was fulfilled on October 22, 1844. When Sister White identifies that the angel of Revelation ten that descended and placed one foot on the land and one on the sea was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ” she was identifying a waymark in prophecy where Christ appears. It is one of His many appearances. He appeared at the resurrection of Moses according to Jude. There He appeared as Michael the archangel, but never-the-less it was a prophetic appearance. The mareh vision in chapter eight is also translated as “appearance,” in agreement with its meaning.

Kao primjer, to je „mareh“ ili „viđenje pojavljivanja“ u Danielu 8,14, što znači da će se 22. listopada 1844. Krist iznenada pojaviti u hramu kao ispunjenje Glasnika Saveza iz Malahije 3, za kojega je sestra White rekla da se ispunio 22. listopada 1844. Kada sestra White poistovjećuje anđela iz Otkrivenja 10 koji je sišao i stavio jednu nogu na zemlju, a drugu na more kao „ni manje osobu nego Isusa Krista“, ona time označava putokaz u proročanstvu gdje se Krist pojavljuje. To je jedno od Njegovih mnogih pojavljivanja. Prema Judinoj poslanici, pojavio se pri Mojsijevu uskrsnuću. Ondje se pojavio kao Mihael, arkanđeo, ali ipak je to bilo proročko pojavljivanje. Viđenje mareh u osmom poglavlju također se prevodi kao „pojavljivanje“, u skladu sa svojim značenjem.

> And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. Daniel 8:15.

> I dogodi se, kad ja, Daniel, vidjeh viđenje i nastojah dokučiti njegovo značenje, gle, stade preda me kao obličje čovjeka. Daniel 8:15.

The context here identifies that it was the angel Gabriel that had the “appearance of a man, and the word “appearance” is the mareh vision’s appearance of Christ, for just as Christ is represented by Michael the archangel, and by the mighty angel of Revelation ten, Christ is interchangeable prophetically with the symbolism of angels, and even men. Whether Gabriel in the verse or Christ in Revelation ten or as Michael the archangel, they each represent a message, and for this reason Sister White compares the angels of Revelation with both the message they represent and the people that proclaim the message represented by the angels. This truth is so important that within the first three verses of Revelation chapter one, the three verses that announce the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, just before probation closes, for “the time is at hand,” the communication process of God to man is specifically identified as a message from the Father, that was given to the Son, who then gives the message to an angel, who then takes it to a man, who in turn sends it to the churches. Every step of the communication process is sacred and holy, and that sanctified holiness is represented at the prophetic waymarks where Christ appears as Himself, or through an angel, man or message. When He directly associates Himself at a waymark it is the “mareh” “appearance vision.”

Kontekst ovdje pokazuje da je anđeo Gabriel bio taj koji je imao „obličje čovjeka”, a riječ „obličje” jest mareh, obličje viđenja Krista; jer kao što je Krist predstavljen Mihaelom arkanđelom i silnim anđelom iz Otkrivenja deset, tako je Krist u proročkom smislu zamjenjiv sa simbolikom anđela, pa čak i ljudi. Bilo da je riječ o Gabrielu u retku, ili o Kristu u Otkrivenju deset, ili kao Mihaelu arkanđelu, svaki od njih predstavlja poruku, i zbog toga sestra White uspoređuje anđele iz Otkrivenja i s porukom koju predstavljaju i s ljudima koji objavljuju poruku predstavljenu tim anđelima. Ta je istina toliko važna da su unutar prva tri retka prvoga poglavlja Otkrivenja, triju redaka koji najavljuju otpečaćenje Otkrivenja Isusa Krista, neposredno prije završetka vremena milosti, jer „vrijeme je blizu”, proces Božje komunikacije prema čovjeku izričito označen kao poruka od Oca, koja je dana Sinu, koji zatim daje poruku anđelu, koji je potom nosi čovjeku, a on je pak šalje crkvama. Svaki korak u tom procesu komunikacije svet je i posvećen, a ta posvećena svetost predstavljena je na proročkim orijentirima na kojima se Krist pojavljuje kao On sam, ili preko anđela, čovjeka ili poruke. Kada se On izravno povezuje s nekim orijentirom, to je „mareh”, „viđenje obličja”.

> The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. … And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 1:1–3; 22:10, 11.

> Otkrivenje Isusa Krista, koje mu dade Bog da pokaže svojim slugama što se uskoro ima zbiti; i on to posla i obznani po svome anđelu svome sluzi Ivanu, koji posvjedoči za riječ Božju i za svjedočanstvo Isusa Krista, i za sve što je vidio. Blažen onaj koji čita i oni koji slušaju riječi ovoga proroštva i drže što je u njemu napisano, jer je vrijeme blizu. … I reče mi: Ne zapečati riječi proroštva ove knjige, jer je vrijeme blizu. Tko je nepravedan, neka i dalje čini nepravdu; i tko je nečist, neka i dalje bude nečist; i tko je pravedan, neka i dalje čini pravdu; i tko je svet, neka i dalje bude svet. Otkrivenje 1:1–3; 22:10, 11.

In chapter eight, “chazon” is the other Hebrew word which is translated as “vision.” In relation to the “appearance” the “marah” vision is identifying a waymark, and the “chazon” vision is identifying a prophetic period. There is a divine symmetry with the two words translated as “vision” in chapter eight, in the sense the Hebrew word “mareh” is also employed by Daniel in its feminine form of “marah.” With the chazon Daniel represents it two ways, but not through a masculine and feminine contrast, but with two words that identify the same meaning, but in doing so, they expand exponentially.

U osmom poglavlju „chazon” je druga hebrejska riječ koja se prevodi kao „viđenje”. U odnosu na „pojavnost”, viđenje „marah” označava putokaz, a viđenje „chazon” označava proročko razdoblje. Postoji božanska simetrija s dvjema riječima prevedenima kao „viđenje” u osmom poglavlju, u smislu da Daniel također rabi hebrejsku riječ „mareh” u njezinu ženskome obliku „marah”. S „chazonom” Daniel ga prikazuje na dva načina, ali ne kroz kontrast muškoga i ženskoga roda, nego s dvije riječi koje označuju isto značenje, ali ga pritom eksponencijalno proširuju.

Chazon means the vision, or the oracle, or prophecy and the word that is translated as either “matter” or “thing” in the English is the Hebrew word “dabar” which means “the word.” When it understood that “chazon” vision is also represented by Daniel with the word “dabar,” then together they represent the prophetic messages of God’s Word. Daniel always contrasts “dabar” or “chazon” with “mareh.” When considered at the prophetic level the “prophetic messages of God’s Word,” as represented by “dabar” and “chazon” when brought together with the “marah” vision of Christ’s appearance you then have the sacred waymarks of the prophetic history of God’s Word. Then if you add “marah,” the feminine tense of the word “mareh” to the line of meanings of vision in Daniel you have the looking glass vision of justification by faith.

Chazon znači viđenje, ili proroštvo, ili proročanstvo, a riječ koja se na engleski prevodi kao “matter” ili “thing” jest hebrejska riječ “dabar”, što znači “riječ”. Kada se razumije da je viđenje “chazon” kod Daniela također predstavljeno riječju “dabar”, tada zajedno predstavljaju proročke poruke Božje Riječi. Daniel uvijek suprotstavlja “dabar” ili “chazon” s “mareh”. Kada se to razmatra na proročkoj razini, “proročke poruke Božje Riječi”, kako su predstavljene s “dabar” i “chazon”, kada se dovedu zajedno s viđenjem “marah” Kristova pojavljivanja, tada imate svete međaše proročke povijesti Božje Riječi. Zatim, ako pridodate “marah”, ženski rod riječi “mareh”, nizu značenja viđenja u Danielu, imate zrcalno viđenje opravdanja vjerom.

In Daniel’s last vision, represented by the last three chapters of his book, Daniel represents a people in the last days who understand the “prophetic visions” of “God’s Word,” and the sacredness of holy waymarks which make up the reformatory movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for they are those who follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth in His sacred prophetic Word. As they follow the Lamb, He leads them to the looking glass vision of Daniel 10:7 where they either flee to hide under error, where they are buried for eternity, or they are humbled in the dust, justified and empowered to give the prophetic message of the latter days.

U Danielovu posljednjem viđenju, prikazanom u posljednja tri poglavlja njegove knjige, Daniel predstavlja narod u posljednjim danima koji razumije „proročka viđenja” „Božje Riječi” i svetost svetih putokaza koji sačinjavaju reformski pokret sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, jer to su oni koji slijede Jaganjca kamo god On ide u svojoj svetoj proročkoj Riječi. Dok slijede Jaganjca, On ih vodi k viđenju zrcala iz Daniela 10:7, gdje ili bježe da bi se sakrili pod zabludom, gdje su pokopani za vječnost, ili su poniženi u prahu, opravdani i osnaženi da daju proročku poruku posljednjih dana.

Gabriel commands Daniel to “understand” both the “matter” and the “vision.” The Hebrew word translated as “understand” means “to make a mental distinction.” Daniel, who represents you and I dear reader, was commanded to understand the difference and distinction between the “matter” and the “vision.” The chazon vision represents the external line of prophetic history and the mareh vision represents the appearance of Christ. The “matter” and the “thing” is the Hebrew word “dabar” which means the word. Jesus is the “dabar,” for He is the Word. The “thing” and the “matter,” both being the “dabar” are presented in connection with the vision of the appearance.

Gabrijel zapovijeda Danielu da „razumije“ i „stvar“ i „viđenje“. Hebrejska riječ prevedena kao „razumjeti“ znači „napraviti umnu razliku“. Danielu, koji predstavlja mene i tebe, dragi čitatelju, zapovjeđeno je da razumije razliku i razlikovanje između „stvari“ i „viđenja“. Viđenje chazon predstavlja vanjsku liniju proročke povijesti, a viđenje mareh predstavlja pojavu Krista. „Stvar“ i „riječ“ jest hebrejska riječ „dabar“, koja znači riječ. Isus je „dabar“, jer On je Riječ. „Stvar“ i „riječ“, budući da su obje „dabar“, prikazane su u vezi s viđenjem pojave.

The dabar, which is the matter and the thing, is also the chazon vision of chapter eight and it represents the vision of prophetic history. Each of those representations (chazon, dabar, matter and thing) identify the external line of prophecy, and the mareh, and its feminine expression of marah, represent the internal line of prophecy. God’s latter-day people, represented in verse one of Daniel ten, understand both the internal and external lines of prophetic history. In the book of Revelation, the internal line is represented with seven churches and the external line is represented by seven seals.

Dabar, koji je i predmet i stvar, ujedno je i viđenje chazon iz osmoga poglavlja te predstavlja viđenje proročke povijesti. Svaki od tih prikaza (chazon, dabar, predmet i stvar) označuje vanjsku liniju proročanstva, a mareh i njegov ženski izraz marah predstavljaju unutarnju liniju proročanstva. Božji narod posljednjih dana, predstavljen u prvom retku desetoga poglavlja Daniela, razumije i unutarnju i vanjsku liniju proročke povijesti. U knjizi Otkrivenja unutarnja je linija predstavljena sa sedam crkava, a vanjska je linija predstavljena sa sedam pečata.

When Daniel saw the vision of Christ after a twenty-one day fast, he saw the feminine expression of the mareh vision. The mareh is the “appearance” and when Daniel saw Christ, He saw the “marah” vision, and though mareh means appearance, the feminine of the same word means “a looking glass.” Sister White informs us the vision Daniel saw was the vision which John saw, and John saw the vision when Christ was in the heavenly sanctuary.

Kad je Daniel, nakon dvadeset i jednoga dana posta, vidio viđenje Krista, vidio je ženski izraz viđenja mareh. Mareh je „pojava“, a kad je Daniel vidio Krista, vidio je viđenje „marah“; i premda mareh znači pojava, ženski oblik iste riječi znači „zrcalo“. Sestra White obavještava nas da je viđenje koje je Daniel vidio bilo viđenje koje je vidio Ivan, a Ivan je to viđenje vidio kad je Krist bio u nebeskom Svetištu.

> “At the time of Gabriel’s visit, the prophet Daniel was unable to receive further instruction; but a few years afterward, desiring to know more of subjects not yet fully explained, he again set himself to seek light and wisdom from God. ‘In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all…. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.’

> „U vrijeme Gabrielova posjeta prorok Daniel nije bio u stanju primiti daljnju pouku; no nekoliko godina poslije, želeći doznati više o predmetima koji još nisu bili potpuno razjašnjeni, ponovno se posvetio traženju svjetla i mudrosti od Boga. ‘U to vrijeme ja, Daniel, tugovah tri pune sedmice. Ugodnoga kruha ne jedoh, mesa ni vina ne uđe u moja usta, niti se pomazah uopće…. Tada podigoh svoje oči i pogledah, i gle, čovjek odjeven u lan, čija su bedra bila opasana finim zlatom iz Ufhaza. Tijelo mu bijaše kao krizolit, lice mu kao sjaj munje, oči mu kao ognjene zublje, ruke i noge kao uglačana mjed, a glas njegovih riječi kao glas mnoštva.’

> “No less a personage than the Son of God appeared to Daniel. This description is similar to that given by John when Christ was revealed to him upon the Isle of Patmos. Our Lord now comes with another heavenly messenger to teach Daniel what would take place in the latter days. This knowledge was given to Daniel and recorded by inspiration for us upon whom the ends of the world are come.

> „Ništa manja osoba od Sina Božjega ukazala se Danielu. Ovaj opis sličan je onomu koji je dao Ivan kada mu se Krist objavio na otoku Patmosu. Naš Gospodin sada dolazi s drugim nebeskim vjesnikom da pouči Daniela o onome što će se zbiti u posljednjim danima. To je znanje dano Danielu i nadahnućem zabilježeno za nas, na koje su došli svršeci svijeta.‟

> “The great truths revealed by the world’s Redeemer are for those who search for truth as for hid treasures. Daniel was an aged man. His life had been passed amid the fascinations of a heathen court, his mind cumbered with the affairs of a great empire; yet he turns aside from all these to afflict his soul before God, and seek a knowledge of the purposes of the Most High. And in response to his supplications, light from the heavenly courts was communicated for those who should live in the latter days. With what earnestness, then, should we seek God, that he may open our understanding to comprehend the truths brought to us from Heaven.” Review and Herald, February 8, 1881.

> „Velike istine koje je objavio Otkupitelj svijeta namijenjene su onima koji traže istinu kao skriveno blago. Daniel je bio čovjek poodmakle dobi. Njegov je život prolazio usred zavođenja poganskoga dvora, a njegov je um bio opterećen poslovima velikoga carstva; ipak se odvraća od svega toga kako bi ponizio svoju dušu pred Bogom i tražio spoznaju o nakanama Svevišnjega. I kao odgovor na njegove usrdne molitve, svjetlo iz nebeskih dvorova bilo je priopćeno onima koji će živjeti u posljednjim danima. S kakvom bismo, dakle, ozbiljnošću trebali tražiti Boga, da otvori naš razum kako bismo shvatili istine donesene nam s Neba.” Review and Herald, 8. veljače 1881.

## The 144,000

144.000

Daniel understands the “thing” and the “vision” and he is identified as Daniel and also as Belteshazzar. The change of a name in prophecy represents a covenant relationship, so Daniel represents the final covenant people who are the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are tested by the vision of Christ in the temple. That test causes a separation of two classes of worshippers.

Daniel razumije „stvar” i „viđenje”, i naznačen je kao Daniel, a također i kao Beltešasar. Promjena imena u proročanstvu predstavlja saveznički odnos, stoga Daniel predstavlja završni saveznički narod, onih sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, koji su kušani viđenjem Krista u hramu. Ta kušnja uzrokuje razdvajanje dviju skupina štovatelja.

> And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Daniel 10:7.

> I ja, Daniel, sam vidjeh viđenje; ljudi koji bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe viđenja, nego ih obuze velik strah i drhtanje, te pobjegoše da se sakriju. Daniel 10,7.

Daniel is directly identifying the second and temple test associated with God’s latter-day people; a test that is premised upon seeing Christ in the heavenly sanctuary. The vision of verse seven is the feminine of the mareh vision, represented as the marah vision. If you respond to the temple vision of Christ as represented by Daniel’s response, the prophetic “thing” and the prophetic “vision” will be “revealed” to you.

Daniel izravno prepoznaje drugu i hramsku kušnju povezanu s Božjim narodom posljednjih dana; kušnju koja se temelji na gledanju Krista u nebeskom Svetištu. Viđenje iz sedmoga retka jest ženski oblik viđenja mareh, prikazan kao viđenje marah. Ako odgovorite na hramsko viđenje Krista onako kako je predstavljeno Danielovim odgovorom, proročka će vam „stvar” i proročko „viđenje” biti „otkriveni”.

If you relate to the very same temple vision of Christ by fleeing to hide, you go into eternal darkness. The temple test, which is the second test of the three steps of the everlasting gospel is preceded by the first and foundational test. The testing question of the foundations is represented in verse fourteen of Daniel eleven, where Rome is represented as the “robbers of thy people” that establishes the “vision.”

Ako se prema istoj toj hramskoj viziji Krista odnosite tako što bježite da biste se sakrili, odlazite u vječnu tamu. Hramski ispit, koji je drugi ispit od triju koraka vječnoga evanđelja, prethodi prvomu i temeljnomu ispitu. Ispitno pitanje temelja prikazano je u četrnaestom retku jedanaestoga poglavlja Daniela, gdje je Rim predstavljen kao „razbojnici tvoga naroda“ koji uspostavljaju „viđenje“.

## The Time is at Hand

Vrijeme je blizu

Three and a half days after July 18, 2020’s disappointment, on December 31, 2023 the revelation of Jesus Christ began to be unsealed, for the “time was at hand.”

Tri i pol dana nakon razočaranja od 18. srpnja 2020., 31. prosinca 2023. počela se otpečaćivati objava Isusa Krista, jer je „vrijeme bilo blizu“.

> Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. … And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:3; 22:10.

> Blagoslovljen je onaj koji čita, i oni koji slušaju riječi ovoga proroštva te čuvaju ono što je u njemu zapisano; jer je vrijeme blizu. … I reče mi: Ne zapečaćuj riječi proroštva ove knjige, jer je vrijeme blizu. Otkrivenje 1,3; 22,10.

The “time” that identifies the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is referenced at the beginning of the book of Revelation and at the end of the book the identical pronouncement adds to the alpha statement, with an omega statement.

„Vrijeme” koje označuje otpečaćenje Otkrivenja Isusa Krista spominje se na početku knjige Otkrivenja, a na kraju knjige ista objava, uz alfa izjavu, dodaje i omega izjavu.

The revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed just before the close of probation. On the twenty-second day, following a fast of twenty-one days the “thing,” which is also the “matter,” which is also the dabar or the Word, which is also the chazon vision of external prophetic history was revealed to Daniel as he experienced the looking glass, marah vision of the heavenly high priest in the Most Holy Place.

Otkrivenje Isusa Krista otpečaćuje se neposredno prije završetka vremena milosti. Dvadeset i drugoga dana, nakon posta od dvadeset i jednoga dana, Danielu je bila otkrivena „stvar”, koja je ujedno i „predmet”, koja je također dabar ili Riječ, koja je također chazon, viđenje vanjske proročke povijesti, dok je iskusio zrcalno, marah viđenje nebeskoga Velikog Svećenika u Svetinji nad svetinjama.

Daniel represents those who have the experience of the looking glass vision, and who also understand the prophetic appearances of Christ, as well as the external history represented by the chazon vision. The marah vision represents Christ as a prophetic waymark, and the feminine of the same word represents the experience produced through beholding the glory of God, as represented by Daniel, John, Isaiah, Sister White and other prophets.

Daniel predstavlja one koji imaju iskustvo viđenja u zrcalu i koji također razumiju proročke pojave Krista, kao i vanjsku povijest prikazanu viđenjem chazon. Viđenje marah predstavlja Krista kao proročki putokaz, a ženski rod iste riječi predstavlja iskustvo koje nastaje promatranjem slave Božje, kako je prikazano u Danielu, Ivanu, Izaiji, sestri White i drugim prorocima.

At this level the chazon external vision represents the foundational test, and the mareh vision of Christ’s appearances in the prophetic sequence of events is the temple test. Has Christ appeared in the Most Holy Place within your own Most Holy Place? That is where Divinity is joined to humanity. This is the test that must be passed, before probation closes at the litmus test. The litmus test which manifests character is the marah looking glass vision.

Na ovoj razini vanjsko viđenje chazon predstavlja temeljnu kušnju, a viđenje mareh Kristovih pojavljivanja u proročkom slijedu događaja jest kušnja hrama. Je li se Krist pojavio u Svetinji nad svetinjama unutar tvoje vlastite Svetinje nad svetinjama? Ondje se božanstvo sjedinjuje s čovještvom. To je kušnja koja mora biti položena prije nego što se vrijeme milosti zaključi pri lakmus-kušnji. Lakmus-kušnja koja očituje karakter jest viđenje marah, poput zrcala.

On December 31, 2023, the external test of the foundation began over verse fourteen’s “robbers of thy people,” and when the current pope was inaugurated on May 8, 2025 the “vision” of verse fourteen was established. The foundational test moved to the temple test. Since May 9, 2025 the temple test has been under way. The resurrection of the two witnesses on December 31, 2023, was represented in verse eleven of Revelation eleven, and the resurrection which began on that date occurred within the period of the Ukraine War that began in 2014, escalating in 2022. The external and internal lines of prophecy came together in that history. On December 31, 2023, the work of laying a foundation was under way, a work typified by the history of 1798 unto 1840, and also by 1840 unto 1844, and also by April 19, 1844 unto October 22, 1844.

Dana 31. prosinca 2023. započeo je vanjski ispit temelja nad „razbojnicima tvoga naroda” iz četrnaestoga retka, a kada je sadašnji papa ustoličen 8. svibnja 2025., uspostavljeno je „viđenje” iz četrnaestoga retka. Temeljni se ispit premjestio na ispit hrama. Od 9. svibnja 2025. ispit hrama je u tijeku. Uskrsnuće dvojice svjedoka 31. prosinca 2023. bilo je prikazano u jedanaestom retku jedanaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja, a uskrsnuće koje je započelo toga datuma dogodilo se unutar razdoblja rata u Ukrajini koji je započeo 2014., a eskalirao 2022. godine. Vanjske i unutarnje linije proročanstva sjedinile su se u toj povijesti. Dana 31. prosinca 2023. bio je u tijeku posao polaganja temelja, djelo predočeno poviješću od 1798. do 1840., a također i od 1840. do 1844., kao i od 19. travnja 1844. do 22. listopada 1844.

Daniel eleven verse eleven, arrived in history as the external line of prophecy and connected with the very history that is the internal line of Revelation eleven. In 2014, the Ukrainian War began, as typified by the battle of Raphia in 217 BC. In 2015, the fourth and far richer king of verse two of Daniel eleven, stood up and announced his intent to run for the office of president. That announcement enraged the dragon minded globalists, represented as the realm of Grecia.

Daniel jedanaesti redak jedanaesti, došao je u povijest kao vanjska linija proročanstva i povezao se sa samom poviješću koja je unutarnja linija Otkrivenja jedanaest. Godine 2014. započeo je Ukrajinski rat, kao što je predočeno bitkom kod Rafije 217. pr. Kr. Godine 2015. četvrti i znatno bogatiji kralj iz drugoga retka Daniela jedanaest ustao je i objavio svoju namjeru da se kandidira za službu predsjednika. Ta je objava razgnjevila globaliste zmajevskoga uma, prikazane kao područje Grčke.

Revelation eleven, verse eleven identified December 31, 2023 as the point where the two witnesses were resurrected. The period from July 18, 2020 unto December 31, 2023 was then understood to be a prophetic ‘wilderness.’ At the ending of the ‘wilderness period’ a voice began to cry in July of 2023, and then exactly twelve hundred and sixty days after the failed prediction of Nashville, on July 18, 2020, the Lion of the tribe of Judah then began to unseal His prophetic Word. The unsealing of God’s prophetic Word always produces a three-step testing process as set forth in Daniel twelve.

Otkrivenje jedanaest, redak jedanaesti, identificiralo je 31. prosinca 2023. kao točku u kojoj su dva svjedoka uskrsnula. Razdoblje od 18. srpnja 2020. do 31. prosinca 2023. tada je bilo shvaćeno kao proročanska „pustinja“. Na završetku „razdoblja pustinje“ glas je počeo vikati u srpnju 2023., a zatim je, točno tisuću dvjesto šezdeset dana nakon neuspjelog predviđanja u Nashvilleu, 18. srpnja 2020., Lav iz plemena Judina počeo otpečaćivati svoju proročku Riječ. Otpečaćivanje Božje proročke Riječi uvijek proizvodi trostupanjski proces kušnje, kako je izloženo u Danielu dvanaest.

> Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:10.

> Mnogi će se očistiti, i ubijeliti, i biti iskušani; ali će bezbožnici činiti bezbožno; i nitko od bezbožnika neće razumjeti; ali će mudri razumjeti. Daniel 12,10.

In Revelation nineteen, the bride makes herself ready and she is then given a white garment. Those white garments represent that the bride is ready, and it takes place in Revelation nineteen when the windows of heaven are opened. Before the bride is made white with the garment of Christ’s righteousness, she is first purified.

U Otkrivenju devetnaestom zaručnica se pripravlja, a potom joj se daje bijela haljina. Te bijele haljine predstavljaju da je zaručnica spremna, i to se zbiva u Otkrivenju devetnaestom kada se otvaraju prozori nebeski. Prije nego što zaručnica postane bijela haljinom Kristove pravednosti, ona se najprije pročišćava.

On December 31, 2023 the test of the foundations began to purify those who would be pure. That purification is accomplished by an increase of knowledge, for the Lion of the tribe of Judah, then began to unseal the final revelation of Himself. That revelation includes that He is the only foundation that can be laid. To reject the foundational truth that identifies that Rome is “the robbers of thy people,” is to reject the only foundation that can be laid.

Dana 31. prosinca 2023. započela je kušnja temelja kako bi se pročistili oni koji će biti čisti. To se pročišćenje ostvaruje umnažanjem spoznaje, jer je Lav iz plemena Judina tada počeo otpečaćivati konačnu objavu o samome sebi. Ta objava uključuje i to da je On jedini temelj koji se može položiti. Odbaciti temeljnu istinu koja utvrđuje da je Rim „razbojnici tvoga naroda“, znači odbaciti jedini temelj koji se može položiti.

December 31, 2023 began a testing process that immediately produced a separation of two classes. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has now unsealed that the historical fulfillment of verse fourteen was May 8, 2025, and in doing so; He upheld Miller’s identification of Rome as the symbol that establishes the external vision of prophecy. When Trump returned in 2024, he fulfilled verse thirteen of Daniel eleven, then in the next verse, we mark 2025, with the election of pope Leo. Both Trump and his antichrist counterpart were inaugurated in 2025.

Dana 31. prosinca 2023. započeo je proces kušnje koji je odmah proizveo razdvajanje dviju skupina. Lav iz plemena Judina sada je otpečatio da je povijesno ispunjenje četrnaestoga retka bilo 8. svibnja 2025., i učinivši to, potvrdio je Millerovo poistovjećenje Rima kao simbola koji uspostavlja vanjsku viziju proročanstva. Kada se Trump vratio 2024., ispunio je trinaesti redak Daniela jedanaest, a zatim u sljedećem retku označavamo 2025. godinu, izborom pape Lea. I Trump i njegov protukristovski pandan inaugurirani su 2025. godine.

The dates we identify in this movement are essentially sanctified hindsight. We identify the time of the end as 1989, then the formalization of the message was 1996. At 9/11 the formalized message was empowered. In the presentation of Habakkuk’s Tables in 2012 and ending in January of 2013 the foundations were laid.

Datumi koje prepoznajemo u ovom pokretu u biti su posvećeni pogled unatrag. Vrijeme svršetka prepoznajemo kao 1989., zatim je 1996. uslijedilo formaliziranje poruke. Na 11. rujna formalizirana je poruka bila osnažena. U izlaganju Habakukovih ploča 2012., koje je završilo u siječnju 2013., položeni su temelji.

On July 18, 2020 the first disappointment arrived, then in July of 2023 a voice began to cry in the wilderness, and on December 31, 2023 the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ began and the first external foundational test began.

Dana 18. srpnja 2020. stiglo je prvo razočaranje; zatim je u srpnju 2023. glas počeo vikati u pustinji, a 31. prosinca 2023. započelo je otpečaćenje Otkrivenja Isusa Krista i započela je prva vanjska temeljna kušnja.

On May 8, 2025 the second internal temple test began. The third litmus test is just ahead. There it will be made manifest whether the soul has the oil of the message represented by the first and external test and the accompanying oil of the second internal test. The testing represents external, followed by internal, followed by experience.

Dana 8. svibnja 2025. započela je druga unutarnja hramska kušnja. Treća lakmusna kušnja je neposredno pred nama. Ondje će se očitovati ima li duša ulje poruke, predstavljeno prvom i vanjskom kušnjom, te prateće ulje druge unutarnje kušnje. To ispitivanje predstavlja vanjsko, zatim unutarnje, a potom iskustvo.

The internal line of prophecy consists of the previous waymarks I just cited. Each of those waymarks align with identical waymarks of Millerite history. 1798 as the time of the end corresponds to 1989, also the time of the end. There the Lion of the tribe of Judah unsealed his Word, for He is the Word. When Adventism fulfilled the role of the disobedient prophet at Jeroboam’s foundational rebellion by returning to eat with the lying prophet of Bethel, they returned to the arguments of fallen Protestantism that were employed against William Miller’s identification of the seven times. For this reason, they don’t fully, if at all, understand why 1863 is the last waymark for the alpha movement of the first and second angels.

Unutarnja linija proroštva sastoji se od prethodnih orijentira koje sam upravo naveo. Svaki od tih orijentira usklađen je s istovjetnim orijentirima milleritske povijesti. Godina 1798. kao vrijeme svršetka odgovara 1989., također vremenu svršetka. Ondje je Lav iz plemena Judina otpečatio svoju Riječ, jer On jest Riječ. Kada je adventizam ispunio ulogu neposlušnoga proroka u Jeroboamovoj temeljnoj pobuni time što se vratio jesti s lažljivim prorokom iz Betela, vratio se argumentima paloga protestantizma koji su bili upotrijebljeni protiv toga da William Miller prepozna sedam vremena. Zbog toga oni ne razumiju u potpunosti, ako uopće razumiju, zašto je 1863. posljednji orijentir za alfa-pokret prvoga i drugoga anđela.

For this reason, it means nothing to them that it is 126 years, a symbol of 1,260, a symbol of a “wilderness” that spans the history from 1863 unto the time of the end in 1989. At the end of forty years Joshua led the movement into the Promised Land. In 1989 the Lord began the work of leading His omega movement out of the “wilderness” of 1863 unto 1989, the way He had brought the alpha movement out of the “wilderness” of 538 unto 1798.

Zbog toga im ništa ne znači što je to 126 godina, simbol 1.260, simbol „pustinje“ koja se proteže kroz povijest od 1863. pa sve do vremena svršetka 1989. godine. Na kraju četrdeset godina Jošua je poveo pokret u Obećanu zemlju. Godine 1989. Gospodin je započeo djelo vođenja svojega omega pokreta iz „pustinje“ od 1863. do 1989., kao što je izveo alfa pokret iz „pustinje“ od 538. do 1798. godine.

In 1989, the vision of the Hiddekel River representing the last three chapters of Daniel was unsealed, just as the vision of the Ulai River representing chapters 7, 8 and 9 of Daniel was unsealed in 1798. Two hundred and twenty years after the publication of the King James Bible, William Miller published his message based upon the vision of the Ulai for the first time, thus formalizing his message in 1831; as was the message of the Hiddekel published for the first time in 1996, two hundred and twenty years after 1776, the birthplace of the glorious land of the United States.

Godine 1989. otpečaćeno je viđenje rijeke Hiddekel, koje predstavlja posljednja tri poglavlja Daniela, baš kao što je viđenje rijeke Ulaj, koje predstavlja 7., 8. i 9. poglavlje Daniela, bilo otpečaćeno 1798. Dvjesto dvadeset godina nakon objavljivanja Biblije kralja Jakova, William Miller prvi je put objavio svoju poruku utemeljenu na viđenju Ulaja, time formalizirajući svoju poruku 1831.; kao što je i poruka Hiddekel prvi put objavljena 1996., dvjesto dvadeset godina nakon 1776., rodnoga mjesta slavne zemlje Sjedinjenih Država.

Miller’s formalization of the message two hundred and twenty years after the King James version identifies William Miller as the very first sacred messenger to employ the prophecies of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, to bring about a revival and reformation. The Bible is Divine and it connected with the human 220 years later to produced the message of the Ulai.

Millerovo formaliziranje poruke dvjesto dvadeset godina nakon izdanja King James Version prepoznaje Williama Millera kao prvoga svetog glasnika koji je upotrijebio biblijska proročanstva, kako Staroga tako i Novoga zavjeta, da bi doveo do probuđenja i reforme. Biblija je božanska i povezala se s ljudskim dvjesto dvadeset godina poslije kako bi proizvela poruku Ulaja.

Jesus is Alpha and Omega, and He is the Word of God, so the publication of the King James Version of the Bible in 1611, places Jesus both at 1611, and also at 1831. Christ appears at the time of the end as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the when the message is formalized He is the Alpha and the Omega and Word. The relation of Miller to the beginning is recognized that both beginning and ending are emphasizing publishing the message. 1776 unto 1996 bears the same characteristics, though different.

Isus je Alfa i Omega, i On je Riječ Božja, stoga objavljivanje Biblije u prijevodu King James Version godine 1611. postavlja Isusa i na 1611. i također na 1831. Krist se u vrijeme svršetka pojavljuje kao Lav iz plemena Judina, a kada je poruka formalizirana, On je Alfa i Omega i Riječ. Prepoznaje se odnos Millera prema početku, da i početak i svršetak naglašavaju objavljivanje poruke. Razdoblje od 1776. do 1996. nosi ista obilježja, premda različita.

The message of the Hiddekel is the message of the Sunday law in the United States as set forth in verse forty-one of Daniel eleven. 1776 and the publication of the Declaration of Independence represents the starting point for the two-hundred and twenty year period that ended with the publication providentially, not purposely titled, Time of the End. In the same year, 1996 a ministry corporation with the name of Future for America was given to us. The message of the glorious land, that is the United States, was formalized with a direct connection between the beginning and ending of the prophecy. Every major waymark of Millerite history has been repeated under the guiding pattern of the parable of the ten virgins. Both two-hundred and twenty year periods possess a beginning and ending that are marked by a publication.

Poruka Hiddekela poruka je o nedjeljnom zakonu u Sjedinjenim Državama kako je izložena u četrdeset i prvom retku jedanaestoga poglavlja Daniela. Godina 1776. i objavljivanje Deklaracije o neovisnosti predstavljaju početnu točku dvjestodvadesetogodišnjeg razdoblja koje je završilo providonosno, a ne namjerno naslovljenom publikacijom Time of the End. Iste godine, 1996., dana nam je službena korporacija pod nazivom Future for America. Poruka o slavnoj zemlji, to jest o Sjedinjenim Državama, bila je formalizirana izravnom povezanošću između početka i završetka proročanstva. Svaki glavni orijentir mileritske povijesti bio je ponovljen pod vodećim obrascem prispodobe o deset djevica. Oba dvjestodvadesetogodišnja razdoblja imaju početak i završetak koji su obilježeni publikacijom.

Miller’s message and methodology was confirmed and empowered with a fulfillment of Islam of the second woe. What was employed by the Lord to empower the message was Miller’s day for a year principle, and the principle that empowered the message and methodology at 9/11, when the descent of the angel of Revelation eighteen repeated the descent, He had made on August 11, 1840 as represented in chapter ten of Revelation. Those two angels represent a prophetic appearance of Christ as an angel. The principle that is as foundational to the movement of 9/11 as was the day for a year principle to the movement of August 11, 1840 is that Millerite history is repeated in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Millerova poruka i metodologija bili su potvrđeni i osnaženi ispunjenjem islama drugoga jaoja. Ono što je Gospodin upotrijebio da osnaži poruku bilo je Millerovo načelo dan za godinu, a načelo koje je osnažilo poruku i metodologiju na 11. rujna bilo je ono po kojem je silazak anđela iz Otkrivenja osamnaest ponovio silazak koji je On učinio 11. kolovoza 1840., kako je prikazano u desetom poglavlju Otkrivenja. Ta dva anđela predstavljaju proročku pojavu Krista kao anđela. Načelo koje je jednako temeljno za pokret 11. rujna kao što je načelo dan za godinu bilo temeljno za pokret od 11. kolovoza 1840. jest da se mileritska povijest ponavlja u povijesti sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

When a fulfillment of a prophecy of Islam of the third woe, arrived in the history of the omega and third angel that aligned with the fulfillment of a prophecy of Islam of the first and second woe, that arrived in the history of the alpha first and second angels—the principle that Millerite history is repeated in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand was as soundly confirmed as was Miller’s day for a year principle in connection with the first and second woes of Revelation nine. Some who might know of the time prophecy of three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days that is set forth in Revelation 9:15, may miss my previous point. Let me explain.

Kada je ispunjenje proročanstva o islamu trećega jaoa nastupilo u povijesti omege i trećega anđela, koje se uskladilo s ispunjenjem proročanstva o islamu prvoga i drugoga jaoa, koje je nastupilo u povijesti alfe, prvoga i drugoga anđela — načelo da se mileritska povijest ponavlja u povijesti sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće bilo je potvrđeno jednako čvrsto kao što je u Millerovo doba bilo potvrđeno načelo dan za godinu u vezi s prvim i drugim jaoom iz Otkrivenja devet. Neki koji možda znaju za vremensko proročanstvo od tristo devedeset i jedne godine i petnaest dana, izloženo u Otkrivenju 9:15, mogli bi promašiti moju prethodnu misao. Dopustite da objasnim.

The first and second woe are aligned with the history of the first and second angels, and the history of the third woe is aligned with the history of the third angel. The point here is that the starting point for the three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days set forth in the history of the second woe is found in the history of the first woe. There is a one hundred and fifty year prophecy in the history of the first woe of Revelation nine, and the day that prophetic period ends, the prophecy of three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days begins. The two prophecies directly connect the first and second woes, so when a prophecy of Islam was predicted, based upon the day for a year principle, that prophecy was a prophecy of the first and second woes of Islam, which was the message that confirmed Miller’s methodology and message in the history of the first and second angels.

Prva i druga nevolja usklađene su s poviješću prvoga i drugoga anđela, a povijest treće nevolje usklađena je s poviješću trećega anđela. Ovdje je poanta u tome da se početna točka za tristo devedeset i jednu godinu i petnaest dana, izloženu u povijesti druge nevolje, nalazi u povijesti prve nevolje. U povijesti prve nevolje iz Otkrivenja devet nalazi se proročanstvo od sto pedeset godina, i onoga dana kada to proročko razdoblje završava, započinje proročanstvo od tristo devedeset i jedne godine i petnaest dana. Ta dva proročanstva izravno povezuju prvu i drugu nevolju, tako da je, kada je bilo prorečeno proročanstvo o islamu, utemeljeno na načelu dan za godinu, to proročanstvo bilo proročanstvo o prvoj i drugoj nevolji islama, što je bila poruka koja je potvrdila Millerovu metodologiju i poruku u povijesti prvoga i drugoga anđela.

When that history concluded on October 22, 1844 the seventh trumpet began to sound, and the seventh trumpet is both the third woe, and the mystery of godliness, which is Christ in you the hope of glory. That trumpet is an external warning message and an internal warning message. For this reason, the 2,520-year prophecy is associated with the seventh-year rest for the land, which includes the jubilee. On October 22, 1844 the seventh trumpet began to sound in fulfillment of the 2,520 year and 2,300 year prophecies.

Kad je ta povijest završila 22. listopada 1844., sedma je truba počela zvučati, a sedma je truba i treći jao, i tajna pobožnosti, koja je Krist u vama, nada slave. Ta je truba poruka upozorenja izvana i poruka upozorenja iznutra. Iz toga je razloga proročanstvo o 2.520 godina povezano sa sedmogodišnjim počinkom za zemlju, koji uključuje jubilej. Dana 22. listopada 1844. sedma je truba počela zvučati kao ispunjenje proročanstava o 2.520 godina i 2.300 godina.

> But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7.

> Nego u danima glasa sedmoga anđela, kad on zatrubi, dovršit će se tajna Božja, kako je navijestio svojim slugama prorocima. Otkrivenje 10,7.

October 22, 1844 was the day of Atonement, and the jubilee trumpet was to be sounded on the day of atonement. Since that time, we are living in the history of the third angel, and also of the third woe, which is the seventh trumpet. On August 11, 1840 the mighty angel of Revelation ten descended to lighten the earth with his glory as did the angel of Revelation eighteen at 9/11.

Dan pomirenja bio je 22. listopada 1844., a jubilarna truba trebala se oglasiti na Dan pomirenja. Od toga vremena živimo u povijesti trećega anđela, a također i trećega jao, koje je sedma truba. Dana 11. kolovoza 1840. silni anđeo iz Otkrivenja 10 sišao je da obasja zemlju svojom slavom, kao što je to učinio anđeo iz Otkrivenja 18 na 9/11.

In 2012 into January of 2013, the series titled Habakkuk’s Tables was produced, and aligned with the publication of the 1843 pioneer chart in May of 1842. The foundations of the movement were then laid, whether it was the alpha movement of the first and second angel, or the movement of the third angel Habakkuk’s two tables were woven into the history and message. The failed prediction of July 18, 2020 paralleled April 19, 1844, and the tarrying time in the parable was under way.

Tijekom 2012. i u siječnju 2013. nastala je serija pod naslovom Habakukove ploče, usklađena s objavljivanjem pionirske karte iz 1843. godine u svibnju 1842. Tada su bili položeni temelji pokreta, bilo da je riječ o alfa-pokretu prvoga i drugoga anđela, ili o pokretu trećega anđela; Habakukove dvije ploče bile su utkane u povijest i poruku. Neuspjelo predviđanje od 18. srpnja 2020. bilo je usporedno s 19. travnja 1844., a vrijeme odgode u prispodobi već je bilo u tijeku.

A wilderness of 1,260 days ended at the unsealing of December 31, 2023. It is good to remember that Christ twice cleansed His temple from its sacrilegious profanation, as Sister White labels it. He did so at the beginning and at the close of His ministry, making the two cleansings an alpha and an omega cleansing.

Pustinja od 1.260 dana završila je pri otpečaćenju 31. prosinca 2023. Dobro je prisjetiti se da je Krist dvaput očistio svoj hram od njegova svetogrđem oskvrnuća, kako ga naziva sestra White. Učinio je to na početku i na završetku svoje službe, čineći ta dva čišćenja alfa i omega čišćenjem.

Sister White clearly aligns the first temple cleansing with 9/11 and the first voice, which she identifies as the first three verses of Revelation eighteen. She then identifies the “other voice” of verse four, as the second temple cleansing, and also the Sunday law. April 19, 1844 was the first temple cleansing for the Millerites and October 22, 1844 was the second. In the forty-six years from 1798 unto 1844 the Millerite temple was erected, and a fractal of the Millerite temple erection is found in the history of the two disappointments which both represent temple cleansings. That history is about the temple.

Sestra White jasno povezuje prvo čišćenje hrama s 11. rujna i prvim glasom, koji ona poistovjećuje s prva tri retka osamnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja. Zatim „drugi glas” iz četvrtog retka poistovjećuje s drugim čišćenjem hrama, a također i sa zakonom o nedjelji. Devetnaesti travnja 1844. bio je prvo čišćenje hrama za milerite, a dvadeset i drugi listopada 1844. drugo. Tijekom četrdeset i šest godina, od 1798. do 1844., podignut je mileritski hram, a fraktal podizanja mileritskog hrama nalazi se u povijesti dvaju razočaranja, koja oba predstavljaju čišćenja hrama. Ta povijest govori o hramu.

From July 18, 2020 to December 31, 2023, the virgins slept during the tarrying time. When they awaken, they awaken to their responsibility to lay the foundation and raise the temple. Since that time Christ, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah has been unsealing prophetic light, and prophetic light that is unsealed always produces a three-step testing process which ends at the litmus test where character is manifested, but never developed. At the litmus test the faithful virgins will receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that surpasses every manifestation of the power of God among God’s people ever recorded. There will be an increase of light that has never been witnessed. That being said I will present another historical line which upholds the parallel of Millerite history to that of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Od 18. srpnja 2020. do 31. prosinca 2023. djevice su spavale tijekom vremena odgode. Kada se probude, bude se za svoju odgovornost da polože temelj i podignu hram. Od toga vremena Krist, kao Lav iz Judina plemena, razotkriva proročku svjetlost, a proročka svjetlost koja je razotkrivena uvijek proizvodi trostupanjski proces kušanja koji završava na lakmus-probi, gdje se karakter očituje, ali se nikada ne razvija. Na lakmus-probi vjerne će djevice primiti izlijevanje Duha Svetoga koje nadmašuje svako očitovanje Božje sile među Božjim narodom ikada zabilježeno. Doći će do porasta svjetlosti kakav nikada nije bio viđen. Budući da je tomu tako, iznijet ću još jednu povijesnu liniju koja podupire paralelu povijesti milerita s poviješću sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

> But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:4, 9, 10.

> A ti, Daniele, zatvori ove riječi i zapečati knjigu do vremena svršetka: mnogi će tumarati amo-tamo i znanje će se umnožiti. I reče: Idi svojim putem, Daniele, jer su ove riječi zatvorene i zapečaćene do vremena svršetka. Mnogi će se očistiti i ubijeliti i biti okušani; a bezbožnici će činiti bezbožno; i nijedan od bezbožnika neće razumjeti, ali mudri će razumjeti. Daniel 12,4. 9. 10.

We will continue these things in the next article.

Nastavit ćemo s ovim temama u sljedećem članku.

## Singularity

Jedinstvenost

Elon Musk claimed on February 21, 2026 that “we are now in ‘singularity’”.

Elon Musk ustvrdio je 21. veljače 2026. da se „sada nalazimo u ‘singularnosti’”.

## Technological Singularity

Tehnološka singularnost

The technological singularity (often just called ‘the singularity’) is a hypothetical future point in time when technological progress—driven primarily by artificial intelligence—becomes so rapid and powerful that it accelerates beyond human control and comprehension, leading to unpredictable and profound transformations in human civilization. The core idea is an intelligence explosion: once we create an AI system that is smarter than the smartest humans (often called Artificial Superintelligence or ASI), that system can redesign and improve itself faster than any human team ever could. This creates a recursive self-improvement loop where capability doubles again and again in extremely short timeframes (days → hours → minutes), making further developments explosive and impossible for “pre-singularity humans” to meaningfully predict or steer. The term “singularity” is borrowed from physics and mathematics, where in “a black hole,” the singularity is the point where gravity becomes infinite and our current laws of physics break down—we can’t see or predict what happens beyond the event horizon.

Tehnološka singularnost (često nazivana jednostavno „singularnost”) hipotetska je buduća vremenska točka u kojoj tehnološki napredak — ponajprije potaknut umjetnom inteligencijom — postaje toliko brz i snažan da se ubrzava izvan ljudske kontrole i razumijevanja, što dovodi do nepredvidivih i dubokih preobrazbi ljudske civilizacije. Središnja je zamisao eksplozija inteligencije: jednom kada stvorimo sustav UI-ja koji je inteligentniji od najinteligentnijih ljudi (često nazivan umjetna superinteligencija ili ASI), taj sustav može preoblikovati i poboljšavati samoga sebe brže nego što bi to ikada mogao bilo koji ljudski tim. Time nastaje rekurzivna petlja samopoboljšavanja u kojoj se sposobnost iznova i iznova udvostručuje u iznimno kratkim vremenskim razmacima (dani → sati → minute), čineći daljnji razvoj eksplozivnim i onemogućujući „predsingularnim ljudima” da ga na smislen način predvide ili usmjeravaju. Izraz „singularnost” posuđen je iz fizike i matematike, gdje je u „crnoj rupi” singularnost točka u kojoj gravitacija postaje beskonačna i naši se sadašnji zakoni fizike raspadaju — ne možemo vidjeti ni predvidjeti što se događa iza horizonta događaja.

Similarly, the technological singularity is viewed as an “event horizon” in history: we can forecast trends up to that point, but beyond it, the future becomes opaque to un-augmented human minds.

Slično tomu, tehnološka singularnost promatra se kao „horizont događaja” u povijesti: možemo predviđati trendove sve do te točke, ali izvan nje budućnost postaje neprozirna ljudskim umovima koji nisu unaprijeđeni.

## Brief History and Main Thinkers

Kratka povijest i glavni mislioci

1950’s—Early seeds appear in the work of mathematician John von Neumann (who spoke of accelerating technological change) and mathematician/cryptologist I.J. Good (who in 1965 described an “intelligence explosion” once machines design better machines).

1950-e — Rani tragovi pojavljuju se u radu matematičara Johna von Neumanna (koji je govorio o ubrzavajućoj tehnološkoj promjeni) i matematičara/kriptologa I. J. Gooda (koji je 1965. opisao „eksploziju inteligencije” kada strojevi počnu projektirati bolje strojeve).

1993—Computer scientist and sci-fi author Vernor Vinge popularizes the modern concept in his essay, The Coming Technological Singularity. He predicted we would create superhuman intelligence sometime between 2005–2030, after which “the human era” would end (in the sense that unaided humans would no longer be the dominant intelligence).

1993. — Računalni znanstvenik i autor znanstvene fantastike Vernor Vinge popularizira suvremeni koncept u svom eseju The Coming Technological Singularity. Predvidio je da ćemo stvoriti nadljudsku inteligenciju negdje između 2005. i 2030. godine, nakon čega će „ljudsko doba” završiti (u smislu da ljudi bez pomoći više neće biti dominantna inteligencija).

2005—Inventor/futurist Ray Kurzweil brings the idea to mainstream attention with his book, The Singularity Is Near. He argues the singularity arrives around 2045, driven by exponential growth in computing power (following his Law of Accelerating Returns), nanotechnology, biotechnology, and brain-computer interfaces. He has consistently maintained this timeline, recently reaffirming AGI 2029 and singularity ~2045.

2005. — Izumitelj/futurist Ray Kurzweil dovodi tu ideju u središte pozornosti javnosti svojom knjigom The Singularity Is Near. Tvrdi da singularnost nastupa oko 2045., potaknuta eksponencijalnim rastom računalne snage (u skladu s njegovim Zakonom ubrzanih povrata), nanotehnologijom, biotehnologijom i sučeljima mozak–računalo. Dosljedno je zastupao taj vremenski okvir, nedavno ponovno potvrdivši AGI 2029. i singularnost oko 2045.

## Timeline Predictions (as of early 2026)

Predviđanja vremenskog slijeda (početkom 2026.)

Predictions have noticeably compressed in the last few years due to the extremely fast progress in large language models, reasoning systems, and scaling laws: Most aggressive / near-term views (2026–2027): Some prominent AI leaders (e.g., Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Elon Musk) have publicly stated that superintelligence or something functionally equivalent to the singularity trigger could arrive as early as 2026 or within 1–3 years.

Predviđanja su se posljednjih nekoliko godina zamjetno sažela zbog iznimno brzog napretka u velikim jezičnim modelima, sustavima zaključivanja i zakonima skaliranja: Najambicioznija / kratkoročna gledišta (2026.–2027.): Neki istaknuti čelnici u području umjetne inteligencije (npr. Dario Amodei iz tvrtke Anthropic, Elon Musk) javno su izjavili da bi superinteligencija ili nešto što je funkcionalno ekvivalentno okidaču singularnosti moglo nastupiti već 2026. ili unutar 1–3 godine.

Median expert surveys still cluster around 2040–2050 for full superintelligence/singularity.

Medijalna stručna istraživanja i dalje se u pogledu potpune superinteligencije/singularnosti uglavnom grupiraju oko razdoblja 2040.–2050.

## Two camps of possible outcomes

Dva tabora mogućih ishoda

Utopian / optimistic → radical abundance, elimination of disease and poverty, effective immortality via mind uploading or nanomedicine, humanity merging with AI (transhumanism), solving previously unsolvable scientific problems in minutes.

Utopijsko / optimistično → radikalno obilje, uklanjanje bolesti i siromaštva, djelotvorna besmrtnost putem učitavanja uma ili nanomedicine, čovječanstvo koje se stapa s UI-jem (transhumanizam), rješavanje prethodno nerješivih znanstvenih problema u nekoliko minuta.

Dystopian / pessimistic → loss of human agency/control, misalignment (AI pursues goals orthogonal or hostile to human values), economic & social collapse, or even existential risks to humanity.

Distopijski / pesimističan → gubitak ljudske sposobnosti djelovanja i nadzora, neusklađenost (AI slijedi ciljeve koji su ortogonalni ili neprijateljski prema ljudskim vrijednostima), gospodarski i društveni kolaps, ili čak egzistencijalni rizici za čovječanstvo.

Singularity isn’t just “very advanced AI,” it’s the moment when technological evolution escapes biological/human-speed constraints and becomes an autonomous, runaway process. Whether that happens in 2026, 2030, 2045, or never, it remains one of the most consequential open questions in human history right now.

Singularitet nije tek „vrlo napredna umjetna inteligencija“, nego trenutak kada tehnološka evolucija izmiče biološkim/ljudskim ograničenjima brzine i postaje autonoman, nekontrolirano ubrzan proces. Dogodi li se to 2026., 2030., 2045. ili nikada, to i dalje ostaje jedno od najdalekosežnijih otvorenih pitanja u ljudskoj povijesti danas.

## The Time of the End – 1989

Vrijeme svršetka – 1989.

The Networked World Begins

Umreženi svijet započinje

The transition from isolated computing to connected computing. Tim Berners-Lee proposes the World Wide Web at CERN (1989). Commercial neural network research expands (military + academic use), Intel 80486 ships—personal computing power jumps, ARPANET transitions toward what becomes the modern Internet. Before this, computing was powerful but mostly siloed. After 1989, computing becomes network-oriented. Neural networks in 1989 were early, hardware-limited, and mostly rule-augmented pattern systems—but the military and research labs were already testing learning systems for targeting, guidance, and signal classification. This was the foundational layer for everything that came later.

Prijelaz s izoliranog računalstva na umreženo računalstvo. Tim Berners-Lee predlaže World Wide Web u CERN-u (1989). Širi se komercijalno istraživanje neuronskih mreža (vojna + akademska primjena), izlazi Intel 80486 — snaga osobnog računalstva naglo raste, ARPANET prelazi prema onome što će postati suvremeni Internet. Prije toga računalstvo je bilo moćno, ali uglavnom izolirano. Nakon 1989. računalstvo postaje mrežno usmjereno. Neuronske mreže 1989. bile su u ranoj fazi, ograničene hardverom i ponajviše sustavi za prepoznavanje obrazaca dopunjeni pravilima — ali vojska i istraživački laboratoriji već su testirali sustave učenja za ciljanje, navođenje i klasifikaciju signala. To je bio temeljni sloj za sve što je kasnije uslijedilo.

## The Message Formalized – 1996

Poruka formalizirana – 1996.

The Internet Commercial Explosion

Komercijalna eksplozija interneta

The Web becomes public, commercial, and global. Netscape and browser in wars, Amazon and eBay proving online commerce works. Google founded (as BackRub at Stanford, 1996), Windows 95 adoption accelerates consumer computing. 1996 is when the Internet stops being academic and becomes economic. The infrastructure from 1989 now hits consumer scale. The dot-com era is not about websites—it’s about digitizing business. This period changed commerce, advertising, information discovery and communication patterns.

Web postaje javan, komercijalan i globalan. Netscape i ratovi preglednika, Amazon i eBay dokazuju da internetska trgovina funkcionira. Osniva se Google (kao BackRub na Stanfordu, 1996.), a prihvaćanje sustava Windows 95 ubrzava potrošačko računalstvo. Godina 1996. trenutak je kada Internet prestaje biti akademski i postaje ekonomski. Infrastruktura iz 1989. sada doseže razmjere potrošačkog tržišta. Doba dot-coma nije o internetskim stranicama — riječ je o digitalizaciji poslovanja. To je razdoblje promijenilo trgovinu, oglašavanje, pronalaženje informacija i obrasce komunikacije.

## Message Empowered – 9/11, 2001

Poruka osnažena – 11. 9. 2001.

The Mobile + Platform Era Begins

Počinje era Mobile + Platforma

Digitization of media + early cloud infrastructure + always-on broadband. Apple releases the iPod (portable digital ecosystem begins), Wikipedia launches (collective knowledge platform model), Broadband adoption surges, Amazon begins quietly building what becomes AWS. Post-9/11 surveillance technology massively accelerates, data analytics infrastructure grows rapidly. The beginning of cloud computing, platform ecosystems, digital content dominance, always-connected infrastructure and the groundwork for social media and smartphones is laid here.

Digitalizacija medija + rana infrastruktura oblaka + širokopojasni pristup koji je uvijek uključen. Apple objavljuje iPod (započinje prijenosni digitalni ekosustav), pokreće se Wikipedia (model platforme kolektivnog znanja), naglo raste prihvaćenost širokopojasnog pristupa, Amazon potiho počinje graditi ono što će postati AWS. Nakon 11. rujna tehnologija nadzora ubrzano se i u golemoj mjeri razvija, a infrastruktura za analitiku podataka brzo raste. Ovdje se postavljaju počeci računalstva u oblaku, platformskih ekosustava, prevlasti digitalnog sadržaja, uvijek povezané infrastrukture te temelji za društvene mreže i pametne telefone.

The Deep Learning Breakthrough

Duboki iskorak u učenju

The Birth of Modern Artificial Intelligence

Rođenje moderne umjetne inteligencije

This is the pivotal moment when neural networks stopped being experimental and became practically powerful— the exact bridge between the 2001 “platform/cloud” era and the 2023 “generative AI” explosion. September 2012: AlexNet (a deep convolutional neural network) wins the ImageNet competition by a massive margin—crushing all previous algorithms. This single event is universally recognized in AI research as the moment modern deep learning was born. 2012: Geoffrey Hinton’s team proves that deep neural nets, trained on GPUs, can learn hierarchical features automatically. 2013: Google acquires Hinton’s company (DNNresearch). Industry suddenly pours billions into deep learning. NVIDIA’s GPU advancements (CUDA) become the standard hardware for AI. Big data tools (Spark 1.0 released in 2013) mature alongside this, enabling the massive datasets needed for deep learning.

Ovo je prijelomni trenutak kada su neuronske mreže prestale biti eksperimentalne i postale praktično moćne — točan most između ere „platforme/oblaka” iz 2001. i eksplozije „generativne umjetne inteligencije” 2023. godine. Rujan 2012.: AlexNet (duboka konvolucijska neuronska mreža) pobjeđuje na natjecanju ImageNet s golemom prednošću — nadmoćno nadjačavajući sve prethodne algoritme. Taj se pojedinačni događaj u istraživanju umjetne inteligencije općepriznato smatra trenutkom rođenja modernog dubokog učenja. 2012.: tim Geoffreyja Hintona dokazuje da duboke neuronske mreže, trenirane na GPU-ovima, mogu automatski učiti hijerarhijska obilježja. 2013.: Google preuzima Hintonovu tvrtku (DNNresearch). Industrija iznenada ulaže milijarde u duboko učenje. Napredak NVIDIA-inih GPU-ova (CUDA) postaje standardni hardver za umjetnu inteligenciju. Alati za rad s velikim podacima (Spark 1.0 objavljen 2013.) sazrijevaju usporedno s time, omogućujući goleme skupove podataka potrebne za duboko učenje.

## Unsealing – 2023

Otpečaćivanje – 2023.

Generative AI Crosses the Threshold

Generativna umjetna inteligencija prelazi prag

AI becomes accessible, usable, and economically disruptive. Not just “better neural nets.” This is the moment AI writes code, generates images, automates white-collar work, scales reasoning tasks and for the first time AI stops being specialized and becomes general-purpose cognitive tooling.

Umjetna inteligencija postaje dostupna, upotrebljiva i ekonomski disruptivna. Ne samo „bolje neuronske mreže”. Ovo je trenutak kada umjetna inteligencija piše kod, generira slike, automatizira uredski intelektualni rad, proširuje zadatke zaključivanja te po prvi put prestaje biti specijalizirana i postaje kognitivno oruđe opće namjene.

## 2026 – Singularity?

2026. – Singularity?

- 1989 as the unsealing of the time of the end itself (networked connectivity begins, foundation for global knowledge flow; tied to the USSR collapse as the waymark for Adventism’s final probationary period).

  1989. kao otpečaćenje samoga vremena svršetka (započinje umrežena povezanost, temelj za globalni protok znanja; povezano s raspadom SSSR-a kao putokazom za završno vrijeme kušnje adventizma).

- 1996 as the formalization of the message (commercial web scales the information economy, digitizing commerce and discovery).

  1996. kao formalizacija poruke (komercijalni web proširuje informacijsku ekonomiju, digitalizirajući trgovinu i otkrivanje).

- 2001 as the empowerment of the message (platforms, cloud, always-on access lay the digital ecosystem for collective, mobile knowledge).

  2001. kao osnaživanje poruke (platforme, oblak, neprekidan pristup polažu digitalni ekosustav za kolektivno, mobilno znanje).

- 2012/2013 as the laying of the foundation for true intelligence (deep learning breakthrough makes machine understanding practical and scalable).

  2012./2013. kao polaganje temelja za istinsku inteligenciju (proboj dubokog učenja čini strojno razumijevanje praktičnim i skalabilnim).

- 2023 as the unsealing climax (generative AI crosses into general-purpose cognition, making knowledge creation and reasoning accessible and disruptive).

  2023. kao vrhunac otpečaćenja (generativna umjetna inteligencija prelazi u opću kogniciju opće namjene, čineći stvaranje znanja i zaključivanje dostupnima i disruptivnima).

The progression is elegant: each stage builds cumulatively on the prior one, shifting from connectivity → commercialization → ecosystem → intelligence → cognition.

Napredovanje je elegantno: svaki se stupanj kumulativno nadograđuje na prethodni, prelazeći od povezivosti → komercijalizacije → ekosustava → inteligencije → kognicije.

2012/2013 is the critical hinge; the moment neural nets proved capable of hierarchical, automatic learning (AlexNet/ImageNet win, Hinton’s work validated, GPU scaling enabled), which made the 2023 generative explosion inevitable. Without the 2012 architectural shift, the transformer models (2017) and massive scaling wouldn’t have produced ChatGPT-level generality.

2012./2013. jest kritična prekretnica; trenutak kada se pokazalo da su neuronske mreže sposobne za hijerarhijsko, automatsko učenje (pobjeda AlexNet/ImageNet, potvrđen Hintonov rad, omogućeno skaliranje pomoću GPU-ova), što je generativnu eksploziju 2023. učinilo neizbježnom. Bez arhitektonskog zaokreta iz 2012., transformatorski modeli (2017.) i masovno skaliranje ne bi proizveli općenitost na razini ChatGPT-a.
