Caesarea Philippi to Caesarea Maritima represents the period from the third to the ninth hour, which is divided at the sixth hour. The division of Caesarea to Caesarea was the Mount of Transfiguration. The Mount of Transfiguration aligns two other lines to the waymark of three steps that precedes the Pentecostal Sunday law by five days.

Cezareja Filipova do Cezareje Primorske predstavlja razdoblje od trećega do devetoga sata, koje je podijeljeno u šestome satu. Razdvajanje od Cezareje do Cezareje bila je Gora preobraženja. Gora preobraženja usklađuje još dvije druge linije s putokazom od tri koraka koji prethodi pentekostalnom nedjeljnom zakonu za pet dana.

At the Mount, God the Father spoke a second time. The first time He spoke was at Christ’s baptism, the last time was just before the cross.

Na Gori je Bog Otac progovorio drugi put. Prvi put progovorio je na Kristovu krštenju, a posljednji put neposredno prije križa.

> Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. John 12:27–29.

> Sada je duša moja potresena; i što da kažem? Oče, izbavi me od ovoga časa: ali upravo zato dođoh u ovaj čas. Oče, proslavi ime svoje. Tada dođe glas s neba govoreći: Proslavio sam ga, i opet ću ga proslaviti. Narod dakle, koji je ondje stajao i to čuo, govoraše da je zagrmjelo; drugi govorahu: Anđeo mu je govorio. Ivan 12,27–29.

God glorifies His name when He seals the one hundred and forty-four thousand and writes upon them His name.

Bog proslavlja svoje ime kada zapečati sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće i na njih napiše svoje ime.

> Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:12, 13.

> Onoga koji pobijedi učinit ću stupom u hramu Boga svojega, i više neće izići van; i napisat ću na njemu ime Boga svojega i ime grada Boga svojega, novoga Jeruzalema, koji silazi s neba od Boga mojega; i napisat ću na njemu svoje novo ime. Tko ima uho, neka čuje što Duh govori crkvama. Otkrivenje 3,12.13.

At the Mount of Transfiguration, Peter, James and John were the only disciples present, as they were at the resurrection of Jairus’ daughter and also again at Gethsemane. Gethsemane, like unto the Father speaking in John twelve—came just before the cross. Gethsemane means “oil press,” identifying the oil test of the virgins. Gethsemane is the “crisis” that brings the soul “face to face with death,” and the wise virgins pass the test, for in the second temple test they came face to face with life, as Jesus taught “face to face” for thirty days.

Na gori Preobraženja Petar, Jakov i Ivan bili su jedini prisutni učenici, kao što su bili i pri uskrsnuću Jairove kćeri te ponovno u Getsemaniju. Getsemani, poput Očeva govora u Ivanu dvanaest, došao je neposredno prije križa. Getsemani znači „tijesak za ulje“, označujući kušnju ulja djevica. Getsemani je „kriza“ koja dovodi dušu „licem u lice sa smrću“, a mudre djevice prolaze kušnju, jer su se u kušnji drugoga hrama našle licem u lice sa životom, kao što je Isus trideset dana naučavao „licem u lice“.

The first time the Father spoke was at Christ’s baptism and the first time He exclusively took Peter, James and John was when the twelve-year-old daughter of Jairus was resurrected. The resurrection of the twelve-year-old virgin aligns with the baptism of Christ, which symbolizes the power of the resurrection. The resurrection of Jairus’s daughter aligns with the baptism of Christ and Caesarea Philippi. Gethsemane and the troubling of Christ when the Father spoke just before the cross align with Caesarea Maritima.

Prvi put kada je Otac progovorio bilo je na Kristovu krštenju, a prvi put kada je izdvojio isključivo Petra, Jakova i Ivana bilo je pri uskrsnuću dvanaestogodišnje Jairove kćeri. Uskrsnuće dvanaestogodišnje djevice podudara se s Kristovim krštenjem, koje simbolizira silu uskrsnuća. Uskrsnuće Jairove kćeri podudara se s Kristovim krštenjem i Cezarejom Filipovom. Getsemani i Kristova tjeskoba kada je Otac progovorio neposredno prije križa podudaraju se s Cezarejom Primorskom.

Line upon line Peter represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are sealed at Caesarea Philippi, when Simon Barjona’s name is changed to Peter. Once sealed at Panium, which is Caesarea Philippi, Peter goes to the sixth hour of the Mount, where he is lifted up as an ensign as he continues on to answer the call of Cornelius at Caesarea Maritima. At Caesarea Philippi Peter leaves the Exeter camp meeting with the seal of God and the message of the Midnight Cry to proclaim. The message of Islam as represented by the feast of trumpets carries Peter on to Caesarea by the sea. The message of Islam lifts up Peter to the view of the world, for Peter has predicted the prophetic arrival of Islam in advance of the feast of trumpets.

Redak po redak, Petar predstavlja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće koji su zapečaćeni u Cezareji Filipovoj, kada se Šimunu Barjoni ime mijenja u Petar. Jednom zapečaćen u Paniju, koji je Cezareja Filipova, Petar odlazi o šestome satu na Goru, gdje biva podignut kao stijeg dok nastavlja dalje odgovoriti na poziv Kornelija u Cezareji Primorskoj. U Cezareji Filipovoj Petar napušta exeterski taborni sastanak s pečatom Božjim i porukom Ponoćnoga poklika koju treba naviještati. Poruka islama, kako je predstavljena blagdanom truba, nosi Petra dalje u Cezareju na moru. Poruka islama uzdiže Petra pred pogled svijeta, jer je Petar unaprijed prorekao proročki dolazak islama prije blagdana truba.

> Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Malachi 4:5, 6.

> Evo, ja ću vam poslati proroka Iliju prije nego dođe veliki i strašni dan Gospodnji. I on će obratiti srce otaca k djeci i srce djece k njihovim ocima, da ne dođem i udarim zemlju prokletstvom. Malahija 4,5.6.

Line upon line the Elijah message is the message that is premised upon aligning the fathers with their children. Elijah was Father Miller, who illustrates his children. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are the children of William Miller, and to turn the hearts of Miller to his children is to align Millerite history with the history of Elijah, as well as John the Baptist with the messenger associated with the one hundred and forty-four thousand. An element of the alignment of these four lines is that in each of the testing histories of Elijah, John and Miller the only message of present truth—was the message which came through the messenger.

Redak po redak, Ilijina poruka jest poruka koja se temelji na usklađivanju otaca s njihovom djecom. Ilija je bio otac Miller, koji predočuje svoju djecu. Sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće djeca su Williama Millera, a obratiti srce Millera k njegovoj djeci znači uskladiti mileritsku povijest s poviješću Ilije, kao i Ivana Krstitelja s vjesnikom povezanim sa sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Jedan element usklađivanja ovih četiriju linija jest da je u svakoj od kušanih povijesti Ilije, Ivana i Millera jedina poruka sadašnje istine bila poruka koja je došla kroz vjesnika.

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

> I Ilija Tišbijac, jedan od stanovnika Gileada, reče Ahabu: Tako živ bio Jahve, Bog Izraelov, pred kojim stojim, ovih godina neće biti ni rose ni kiše, osim po mojoj riječi. 1 Kraljevima 17,1.

Sister White is clear that those who did not accept the message of John, who Jesus identified as Elijah, would not be benefitted by the teachings of Jesus, and also that those who rejected the message of Miller, as represented as the first angel’s message, could not be benefitted by the message of the second angel. Accompanying Elijah’s announcement that rain would only come at his command, was the ultimate test that included the command to choose between Elijah’s message or Baal’s message. The prophetic symbol of “how long” aligns Elijah’s Mount Carmel with the Sunday law.

Sestra White jasno kaže da oni koji nisu prihvatili poruku Ivana, kojega je Isus prepoznao kao Iliju, ne bi imali koristi od Isusovih učenja, te također da oni koji su odbacili Millerovu poruku, predstavljenu kao poruku prvoga anđela, nisu mogli imati koristi od poruke drugoga anđela. Uz Ilijinu objavu da će kiša doći samo na njegovu zapovijed, išla je i konačna kušnja koja je uključivala zapovijed da se izabere između Ilijine poruke i Baalove poruke. Proročki simbol „dokle“ usklađuje Ilijinu goru Karmel sa zakonom o nedjelji.

> So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 1 Kings 18:20–24.

> Tako Ahab posla po svim sinovima Izraelovim i sabra proroke na goru Karmel. I Ilija pristupi svemu narodu i reče: Dokle ćete hramati između dvaju mišljenja? Ako je Gospodin Bog, slijedite njega; a ako je Baal, slijedite njega. A narod mu ne odgovori ni riječi. Tada Ilija reče narodu: Ja, samo ja, ostao sam prorok Gospodinov; a Baalovih je proroka četiri stotine i pedeset ljudi. Neka nam, dakle, dadu dva junca; i neka oni izaberu sebi jednoga junca, i neka ga rasijeku na komade te polože na drva, ali neka ne podmeću ognja; a ja ću pripraviti drugoga junca i položiti ga na drva, i neću podmetnuti ognja. Tada vi zazovite ime svojih bogova, a ja ću zazvati ime Gospodinovo; i Bog koji odgovori ognjem, neka on bude Bog. I sav narod odgovori i reče: Dobro je rečeno. 1 Kraljevima 18:20–24.

The test of Carmel was choosing between two messages. A test between true and false prophecy, and the messenger Elijah or the prophets who sat at Jezebel’s table. It was about the messenger and the message. In 1844, Carmel was repeated as the Lord brought about a test which manifested Miller as the true prophet, and Miller’s message as the dew and rain. The distinction between the true prophet and true message in contrast with the false prophet and the false message was represented at the Exeter camp meeting by the Exeter tent and the tent of the Watertown group. Two tabernacles representing the true in contrast with the false. The distinction made at Carmel and the history of 1844 is identified at Caesarea Philippi when Peter is sealed and lifted up to the Mount as an ensign. He is lifted up because he had claimed that his message was the only true message of the latter rain. He was lifted up when his prediction was fulfilled.

Kušnja na Karmelu bila je izbor između dviju poruka. Kušnja između istinitog i lažnog proročanstva, te glasnika Ilije ili proroka koji su sjedili za Jezabelinim stolom. Radilo se o glasniku i poruci. Godine 1844. Karmel se ponovio kada je Gospodin doveo do kušnje koja je očitovala Millera kao istinitog proroka, a Millerovu poruku kao rosu i kišu. Razlika između istinitog proroka i istinite poruke nasuprot lažnom proroku i lažnoj poruci bila je prikazana na taboru u Exeteru šatorom u Exeteru i šatorom skupine iz Watertowna. Dva svetišta koja predstavljaju istinito nasuprot lažnomu. Razlika uspostavljena na Karmelu i povijest iz 1844. prepoznaje se kod Cezareje Filipove kada je Petar zapečaćen i podignut na Goru kao stijeg. Bio je podignut zato što je ustvrdio da je njegova poruka jedina istinita poruka pozne kiše. Bio je podignut kada se njegovo proročanstvo ispunilo.

The feast of trumpets is the third and litmus test in the Pentecostal season and before the litmus test Peter identifies that Islam is to be loosed to mark the beginning of the proclamation of the Midnight Cry. The fulfillment of prophecy is what made the distinction between the Millerites and the Protestants, who represent the former covenant people who are being passed by. Elijah personally killed the false prophets, once the distinction between true and false was manifested. The distinction is made at the feast of trumpets, when a prediction of Islam is fulfilled.

Blagdan truba treći je i lakmus-test u pentekostalnom razdoblju, a prije toga lakmus-testa Petar prepoznaje da islam treba biti pušten kako bi označio početak naviještanja Ponoćnog pokliča. Ispunjenje proročanstva ono je što je uspostavilo razliku između milerita i protestanata, koji predstavljaju prijašnji saveznički narod koji se zaobilazi. Ilija je osobno pogubio lažne proroke, nakon što se očitovala razlika između istinitoga i lažnoga. Ta se razlika uspostavlja na Blagdan truba, kada se ispunjava predskazanje o islamu.

The Midnight Cry of Millerite history was a prediction that was corrected and thereafter fulfilled. It was fulfilled on October 22, 1844, whereas Miller’s original understanding of the Midnight Cry was the year 1843. Samuel Snow represents the correction of the message, and his message became known as the “true” Midnight Cry message.

Ponoćni poklik iz mileritske povijesti bio je predviđanje koje je ispravljeno i potom ispunjeno. Ispunilo se 22. listopada 1844., dok je Millerovo izvorno razumijevanje Ponoćnog poklika bilo godina 1843. Samuel Snow predstavlja ispravak poruke, a njegova je poruka postala poznata kao „istinita” poruka Ponoćnog poklika.

1844 was an illustration of the distinction between the message of Miller and the message of the Protestants. In the testing process the Protestants were slain by Miller and they then became apostate Protestantism, the daughters of Rome, the priests of Jezebel. The distinction was manifested by either a reception or rejection of the prophetic message. With John and Miller the prophetic message exposed the false message of the former covenant people who were being passed by. Elijah’s message claimed there would be no rain except at his word, and after three and a half years the test of that claim was to be made manifest.

1844. godina bila je ilustracija razlike između Millerove poruke i poruke protestanata. U procesu kušnje protestanti su bili pobijeni od Millera te su potom postali otpadnički protestantizam, kćeri Rima, svećenici Jezabele. Ta se razlika očitovala ili prihvaćanjem ili odbacivanjem proročke poruke. Kod Ivana i Millera proročka je poruka razotkrila lažnu poruku prijašnjega zavjetnog naroda koji je bio zaobiđen. Ilijina je poruka tvrdila da neće biti kiše osim na njegovu riječ, a nakon tri i pol godine kušnja te tvrdnje trebala se očitovati.

> And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table. 1 Kings 18:17–19.

> I dogodi se, kad Ahab ugleda Iliju, da mu Ahab reče: Jesi li ti onaj koji unesrećuje Izraela? A on odgovori: Nisam ja unesrećio Izraela, nego ti i dom oca tvojega, jer ste ostavili zapovijedi Gospodnje, a ti si pošao za baalima. Zato sada pošalji i saberi k meni svega Izraela na goru Karmel, i proroke Baalove četiri stotine i pedeset, i proroke ašerske četiri stotine, koji jedu za stolom Jezabelinim. 1 Kraljevima 18:17–19.

The distinction between the false and true, whether it be the messenger or the message was made in a testing process that included accusations against both the message and the messenger. Elijah was the one who was accused of troubling Israel, for his message had stopped the rain. Had it continued to rain in Israel, no issue about Elijah would have been raised. The issue was based upon Elijah’s prediction, and its fulfillment over the three and a half years.

Razlikovanje između lažnoga i istinitoga, bilo da je riječ o glasniku ili o poruci, uspostavljeno je u procesu kušnje koji je uključivao optužbe i protiv poruke i protiv glasnika. Ilija je bio onaj kojega su optuživali da unesrećuje Izraela, jer je njegova poruka zaustavila kišu. Da je u Izraelu nastavila padati kiša, ne bi se postavilo nikakvo pitanje o Iliji. Pitanje se temeljilo na Ilijinu proročanstvu i na njegovu ispunjenju tijekom tri i pol godine.

When Peter is at the litmus test of Caesarea Philippi, which is the feast of trumpets, and also where the ass is loosed, the beginning of the message of the Midnight Cry is marked. Peter like unto Elijah, has just witnessed the confirmation of his prediction, and the distinction between the true and false has been demonstrated for all to see. The prediction’s confirmation is represented by the feast of trumpets—which is the litmus test. The prediction was typified by both 1840 and 1844, where a prediction is corrected and thereafter fulfilled. The corrected prediction of Josiah Litch empowered the first angel on August 11, 1840 and the prediction of the year 1843 by Miller was corrected by Snow.

Kada se Petar nalazi na lakmus-testu u Cezareji Filipovoj, koji je blagdan truba, a također i mjesto gdje se magarac odvezuje, označen je početak poruke Ponoćnoga pokliča. Petar je, poput Ilije, upravo posvjedočio potvrdu svojega proročanstva, a razlikovanje između istinitoga i lažnoga pokazano je svima da vide. Potvrda proročanstva prikazana je blagdanom truba — koji je lakmus-test. Proročanstvo je bilo predočeno i 1840. i 1844., kada se jedno proročanstvo ispravlja, a potom ispunjava. Ispravljeno proročanstvo Josije Litcha osnažilo je prvoga anđela 11. kolovoza 1840., a Millerovo proročanstvo o godini 1843. ispravio je Snow.

> “In the year 1840 another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to be overthrown . . . on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And this, I believe, will be found to be the case.’

> „Godine 1840. još jedno izvanredno ispunjenje proročanstva pobudilo je široko zanimanje. Dvije godine prije toga Josiah Litch, jedan od vodećih propovjednika koji su naviještali drugi dolazak, objavio je tumačenje Otkrivenja 9, u kojem je prorekao pad Osmanskoga Carstva. Prema njegovim izračunima, ta je sila trebala biti oborena... 11. kolovoza 1840., kada se može očekivati da će osmanska vlast u Carigradu biti slomljena. I vjerujem da će se pokazati da je tako.”

> “At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

> „Upravo u određeno vrijeme Turska je, preko svojih veleposlanika, prihvatila zaštitu savezničkih sila Europe te se tako stavila pod nadzor kršćanskih naroda. Taj je događaj točno ispunio proročanstvo. Kad je to postalo poznato, mnoštvo se uvjerilo u ispravnost načela proročkog tumačenja koje su usvojili Miller i njegovi suradnici, a adventnom je pokretu dan čudesan zamah. Ljudi od znanja i ugleda pridružili su se Milleru, kako u propovijedanju tako i u objavljivanju njegovih stajališta, i od 1840. do 1844. djelo se brzo širilo.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

The prediction of Litch was about Islam, and the prediction of Snow was about the closed door. When Litch’s prediction was fulfilled, the methodology that established the message was accepted, and those who accepted the message “united” with the messenger. Both the message and the messenger was recognized in the fulfillment of the prediction. The prediction of Litch was about Islam, and the prediction of Snow was about the closed door.

Litchovo proročanstvo odnosilo se na islam, a Snowovo proročanstvo na zatvorena vrata. Kad se Litchovo proročanstvo ispunilo, prihvaćena je metodologija koja je uspostavila poruku, a oni koji su prihvatili poruku „ujedinili” su se s vjesnikom. I poruka i vjesnik bili su prepoznati u ispunjenju proročanstva. Litchovo proročanstvo odnosilo se na islam, a Snowovo proročanstvo na zatvorena vrata.

> “I saw the people of God joyful in expectation, looking for their Lord. But God designed to prove them. His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods. Those who were looking for their Lord did not discover this mistake, and the most learned men who opposed the time also failed to see it. God designed that His people should meet with a disappointment. The time passed, and those who had looked with joyful expectation for their Saviour were sad and disheartened, while those who had not loved the appearing of Jesus, but embraced the message through fear, were pleased that He did not come at the time of expectation. Their profession had not affected the heart and purified the life. The passing of the time was well calculated to reveal such hearts. They were the first to turn and ridicule the sorrowful, disappointed ones who really loved the appearing of their Saviour. I saw the wisdom of God in proving His people and giving them a searching test to discover those who would shrink and turn back in the hour of trial.

> „Vidjela sam Božji narod radostan u iščekivanju, gledajući za svojim Gospodinom. Ali Bog je naumio okušati ih. Njegova je ruka prekrila pogrešku u računanju proročkih razdoblja. Oni koji su očekivali svojega Gospodina nisu otkrili tu pogrešku, a ni najučeniji ljudi koji su se protivili vremenu nisu je uspjeli uočiti. Bog je naumio da Njegov narod doživi razočaranje. Vrijeme je prošlo, i oni koji su s radosnim očekivanjem gledali za svojim Spasiteljem bili su žalosni i klonuli duhom, dok su oni koji nisu ljubili Isusov dolazak, nego su prihvatili poruku iz straha, bili zadovoljni što On nije došao u očekivano vrijeme. Njihovo ispovijedanje vjere nije utjecalo na srce niti očistilo život. Prolazak vremena bio je dobro proračunat da razotkrije takva srca. Oni su bili prvi koji su se okrenuli i izrugali ožalošćene, razočarane koji su doista ljubili dolazak svojega Spasitelja. Vidjela sam Božju mudrost u tome što je iskušavao svoj narod i davao mu ispit koji prodire u dubinu kako bi otkrio one koji bi uzmaknuli i vratili se u času kušnje.״

> “Jesus and all the heavenly host looked with sympathy and love upon those who had with sweet expectation longed to see Him whom their souls loved. Angels were hovering around them, to sustain them in the hour of their trial. Those who had neglected to receive the heavenly message were left in darkness, and God’s anger was kindled against them, because they would not receive the light which He had sent them from heaven. Those faithful, disappointed ones, who could not understand why their Lord did not come, were not left in darkness. Again they were led to their Bibles to search the prophetic periods. The hand of the Lord was removed from the figures, and the mistake was explained. They saw that the prophetic periods reached to 1844, and that the same evidence which they had presented to show that the prophetic periods closed in 1843, proved that they would terminate in 1844. Light from the Word of God shone upon their position, and they discovered a tarrying time—‘Though it [the vision] tarry, wait for it.’ In their love for Christ’s immediate coming, they had overlooked the tarrying of the vision, which was calculated to manifest the true waiting ones. Again they had a point of time. Yet I saw that many of them could not rise above their severe disappointment to possess that degree of zeal and energy which had marked their faith in 1843.

> „Isus i sva nebeska vojska gledali su sa suosjećanjem i ljubavlju na one koji su sa slatkim očekivanjem čeznuli da vide Onoga koga je ljubila njihova duša. Anđeli su lebdjeli oko njih da ih podupru u času njihove kušnje. Oni koji su zanemarili primiti nebesku poruku ostavljeni su u tami, i Božji se gnjev raspalio protiv njih, jer nisu htjeli primiti svjetlo koje im je On poslao s neba. Ti vjerni, razočarani ljudi, koji nisu mogli razumjeti zašto njihov Gospodin nije došao, nisu bili ostavljeni u tami. Ponovno su bili upućeni na svoje Biblije da istražuju proročka razdoblja. Ruka Gospodnja bila je uklonjena s brojki i pogreška je bila objašnjena. Vidjeli su da su proročka razdoblja sezala do 1844. godine i da su isti dokazi koje su iznijeli kako bi pokazali da se proročka razdoblja završavaju 1843. godine dokazivali da će ona završiti 1844. godine. Svjetlost iz Božje Riječi obasjala je njihov položaj i otkrili su vrijeme odgađanja — ‘Ako i okasni, čekaj ga.’ U svojoj ljubavi prema Kristovu skorašnjem dolasku previdjeli su odgađanje viđenja, koje je trebalo očitovati one koji istinski čekaju. Ponovno su imali vremensku točku. Ipak sam vidjela da se mnogi od njih nisu mogli uzdići iznad svojega teškog razočaranja kako bi imali onaj stupanj revnosti i snage koji je obilježio njihovu vjeru 1843. godine.“

> “Satan and his angels triumphed over them, and those who would not receive the message congratulated themselves upon their farseeing judgment and wisdom in not receiving the delusion, as they called it. They did not realize that they were rejecting the counsel of God against themselves, and were working in union with Satan and his angels to perplex God’s people, who were living out the heaven-sent message.

> „Sotona i njegovi anđeli trijumfirali su nad njima, a oni koji nisu htjeli primiti poruku čestitali su sami sebi na svojoj dalekovidnoj prosudbi i mudrosti što nisu prihvatili tu zabludu, kako su je nazivali. Nisu shvaćali da odbacuju Božji savjet protiv sebe samih te da djeluju u zajedništvu sa Sotonom i njegovim anđelima kako bi zbunili Božji narod, koji je živio poruku poslanu s neba.“

> “The believers in this message were oppressed in the churches. For a time, those who would not receive the message were restrained by fear from acting out the sentiments of their hearts; but the passing of the time revealed their true feelings. They wished to silence the testimony which the waiting ones felt compelled to bear, that the prophetic periods extended to 1844. With clearness the believers explained their mistake and gave the reasons why they expected their Lord in 1844. Their opposers could bring no arguments against the powerful reasons offered. Yet the anger of the churches was kindled; they were determined not to listen to evidence, and to shut the testimony out of the churches, so the others could not hear it. Those who dared not withhold from others the light which God had given them, were shut out of the churches; but Jesus was with them, and they were joyful in the light of His countenance. They were prepared to receive the message of the second angel.” Early Writings, 235–237.

> „Vjernici u ovoj poruci bili su tlačeni u crkvama. Neko su vrijeme oni koji nisu htjeli prihvatiti poruku bili obuzdavani strahom da ne postupaju po osjećajima svojega srca; ali prolazak vremena otkrio je njihove prave osjećaje. Željeli su ušutkati svjedočanstvo koje su oni koji su čekali osjećali primoranima nositi, naime da se proročka razdoblja protežu do 1844. godine. Vjernici su jasno objasnili svoju pogrešku i iznijeli razloge zbog kojih su očekivali svojega Gospodina 1844. godine. Njihovi protivnici nisu mogli iznijeti nikakve argumente protiv snažnih razloga koji su bili ponuđeni. Ipak, gnjev crkava bio se raspalio; bile su odlučne ne slušati dokaze i isključiti svjedočanstvo iz crkava, kako ga drugi ne bi mogli čuti. Oni koji se nisu usudili uskratiti drugima svjetlo koje im je Bog dao, bili su isključeni iz crkava; ali Isus je bio s njima, i oni su se radovali u svjetlosti Njegova lica. Bili su pripravljeni primiti poruku drugoga anđela.” Rani spisi, 235–237.

Peter represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand who like unto Litch present a corrected prediction about Islam and the end of a kingdom; and like unto Snow, Peter also presents a corrected prediction of the closed door. Litch’s message of the second woe of Islam was an external prediction, and Snow’s closed door was an internal prediction. For Snow the work began when the Lord removed his hand from the figures, and it was then seen that same evidence that had been previously been thought to prove 1843, actually proved October 22, 1844. For Litch it was a calculation that when fulfilled brought the angel of Revelation ten down to stand upon the earth and the sea.

Petar predstavlja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće koji, poput Litcha, iznose ispravljeno proročanstvo o islamu i kraju jednoga kraljevstva; a poput Snowa, Petar također iznosi ispravljeno proročanstvo o zatvorenim vratima. Litchova poruka o drugome jao islama bila je izvanjsko proročanstvo, a Snowova poruka o zatvorenim vratima bila je unutarnje proročanstvo. Za Snowa je djelo započelo kada je Gospod uklonio svoju ruku s brojki, i tada se vidjelo da isti dokaz za koji se prije smatralo da potvrđuje 1843., zapravo potvrđuje 22. listopada 1844. Za Litcha je to bio izračun koji je, kada se ispunio, doveo anđela iz Otkrivenja deset da stane na zemlju i na more.

The fact that Litch recalculated his prediction ten days before its fulfillment identifies the work of correcting a previous prediction as a test. Is the beginning in 1840 and the ending in 1844 actually a prophetic symbol of a prediction that is recalculated to become the true Midnight Cry? Does the alpha and omega of Millerite history which concluded with the proclamation of the Midnight Cry actually typify the prophetic characteristics of the true Midnight Cry of the one hundred and forty-four thousand?

Činjenica da je Litch deset dana prije njezina ispunjenja ponovno izračunao svoje predviđanje označava djelo ispravljanja prethodnog predviđanja kao kušnju. Jesu li početak 1840. i završetak 1844. doista proročki simbol predviđanja koje se ponovno izračunava kako bi postalo istinskim Ponoćnim poklikom? Tipiziraju li alfa i omega mileritske povijesti, koje su završile objavom Ponoćnog poklika, doista proročka obilježja istinskoga Ponoćnog poklika sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće?

In both periods of the corrected prediction’s proclamation, controversy was manifested against the Millerite message, for the message troubled the people. When Peter stands at Caesarea Philippi there is a controversy over the message that began prior to Caesarea Philippi, for it is the fulfillment that confirms that it was only at Peter’s word that the message of rain would fall. Caesarea Philippi is the feast of trumpets aligns with Christ sending two disciples, representing the second angel, to loose the ass of Islam. The loosing of the ass of Islam announces the beginning of the message of the Midnight Cry at Exeter camp meeting, for arriving on horse a day late, on August 13, Samuel Snow, who had tarried rather than arrive on the opening day, marks the end of the tarrying time and the beginning of the message that would be carried like a tidal wave when the meeting ended on the 17th.

U obama razdoblja proglašavanja ispravljenog proročanstva očitovala se polemika protiv mileritske poruke, jer je poruka uznemirivala narod. Kada Petar stoji u Cezareji Filipovoj, postoji spor oko poruke koji je započeo prije Cezareje Filipove, jer je ispunjenje ono što potvrđuje da je tek na Petrovu riječ poruka o kiši trebala pasti. Cezareja Filipova jest Blagdan truba i usklađuje se s time što Krist šalje dva učenika, koji predstavljaju drugog anđela, da odriješe magarca islama. Odriješivanje magarca islama objavljuje početak poruke Ponoćnog pokliča na tabor-sastanku u Exeteru, jer Samuel Snow, stigavši na konju dan kasnije, 13. kolovoza, nakon što je zakasnio umjesto da dođe prvoga dana otvaranja, označava kraj vremena odgađanja i početak poruke koja će se, kada je sastanak završio 17., pronijeti poput plimnog vala.

The controversy of Millerite history, the accusations of king Ahab and the resistance of the quibbling Jews as Christ entered Jerusalem all identify a controversy that reaches its conclusion at the feast of trumpets, when the ass is loosed. The loosing of the ass is the confirmation of a prophecy that identifies a closed door upon Adventism in the beginning at Caesarea Philippi and a closed door at the end of the period at Caesarea Maritima. The ass is a symbol of Islam of the third woe that strikes the United States, including Nashville, Tennessee. The failed prediction of July 18, 2020, is now being progressively corrected as the Lord removes His hand, and unseals the revelation of Jesus Christ. That unsealing began in the wilderness in July of 2023.

Polemika iz mileritske povijesti, optužbe kralja Ahaba i protivljenje cjepidlačavih Židova pri Kristovu ulasku u Jeruzalem — sve to prepoznaje spor koji svoj završetak doseže na Blagdan truba, kada se magarac odrješuje. Odrješivanje magarca potvrda je proročanstva koje prepoznaje zatvorena vrata nad adventizmom na početku u Cezareji Filipovoj i zatvorena vrata na kraju razdoblja u Cezareji Primorskoj. Magarac je simbol islama trećega jao koji pogađa Sjedinjene Države, uključujući Nashville, Tennessee. Neuspjelo predviđanje od 18. srpnja 2020. sada se postupno ispravlja dok Gospod uklanja svoju ruku i otpečaćuje Otkrivenje Isusa Krista. To je otpečaćenje započelo u pustinji u srpnju 2023.

## The vision of Daniel Eleven

Viđenje Daniela Jedanaest

The feast of trumpets represents the seventh trumpet, which is the third woe, which is Islam. A trumpet is an external warning message of war, but it may also be understood as an internal call to a holy convocation. As the litmus test that begins when the thirty days of the second temple test concludes, it is both an external and internal message. The first foundational test arrived in the spring of 2024 with the external vision of antichrist as represented in Daniel 11:14.

Blagdan truba predstavlja sedmu trubu, koja je treći jao, a to je islam. Truba je izvanjska poruka upozorenja na rat, ali se može razumjeti i kao unutarnji poziv na sveti sabor. Kao lakmusov test koji započinje kada se završi trideset dana kušnje drugoga hrama, on je i izvanjska i unutarnja poruka. Prva temeljna kušnja došla je u proljeće 2024. s izvanjskim viđenjem antikrista kako je prikazan u Danielu 11:14.

> And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. Daniel 11:14.

> I u ona vremena mnogi će ustati protiv kralja juga; i nasilnici iz tvoga naroda uzvisit će se da utvrde viđenje, ali će pasti. Daniel 11,14.

The previous verse introduced Panium, and the testimony of Panium continues through to verse fifteen.

Prethodni je redak uveo Panium, a svjedočanstvo o Paniumu nastavlja se sve do petnaestoga retka.

> For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches. Daniel 11:13.

> Jer će se kralj sjevera vratiti te podići mnoštvo veće od prijašnjega, i zacijelo će doći nakon nekoliko godina s velikom vojskom i s velikim bogatstvom. Daniel 11,13.

The king of the north in verses ten through fifteen is the proxy power of the papacy, who was represented by Ronald Reagan in verse ten when the wall of the iron curtain was removed as typified by the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. Verse sixteen marks the removal of the wall of separation of church and state at the Sunday law. Verse eleven and twelve represent the Ukrainian war that began in 2014, and verse thirteen is identifying the election of 2024, when Trump, the eighth president since Reagan, who is also the eighth president who is of the seven previous presidents, “returns” with more power, for when he returns he “shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years.” The “certain years” are the four years of Joe Biden.

Kralj sjevera u recima deset do petnaest jest posrednička sila papinstva, koja je bila predstavljena Ronaldom Reaganom u retku deset kada je uklonjen zid željezne zavjese, što je bilo predočeno padom Berlinskog zida 9. studenoga 1989. Redak šesnaest označava uklanjanje zida razdvajanja crkve i države pri nedjeljnom zakonu. Reci jedanaest i dvanaest predstavljaju ukrajinski rat koji je započeo 2014., a redak trinaest označuje izbore 2024., kada se Trump, osmi predsjednik od Reagana, koji je također osmi predsjednik koji je od prethodnih sedam predsjednika, „vraća“ s većom silom, jer kada se vrati, „izvest će mnoštvo veće od prijašnjega i zacijelo će doći nakon određenih godina“. „Određene godine“ jesu četiri godine Joea Bidena.

After 2024, in agreement with verse thirteen, Rome will insert itself into the prophetic history of Panium. May 8, 2025 the first pope from the spiritual glorious land was selected and He chose the name of Leo, that carries with it many significant prophetic characteristics. Then in verse fifteen the battle is engaged.

Nakon 2024., u skladu s trinaestim retkom, Rim će se umetnuti u proročku povijest Panija. Dana 8. svibnja 2025. izabran je prvi papa iz duhovne slavne zemlje, i on je izabrao ime Lav, koje sa sobom nosi mnoge značajne proročke značajke. Zatim se u petnaestom retku započinje bitka.

> 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.

> I kralj sjevera doći će, podići nasip i zauzeti najutvrđenije gradove; i mišice juga neće se moći oduprijeti, niti njegov izabrani narod, niti će biti snage da se održi otpor. Daniel 11,15.

The battle of Panium is engaged in verse fifteen and the earth-beast represented by Donald Trump will defeat the kingdom of the south. The king of the south in verse eleven began a war with Ukraine, the papacy’s proxy power who was financed and supported by the papacy’s proxy power of verse ten—the United States. The king of the south would be victorious in the battle of Raphia, but in the aftermath of the victory the progressive dissolution which is always associated with the demise of a dragon kingdom of the south, leaves the king of the south in an extremely vulnerable position as the king of the north returns, stronger than ever and prepares for the battle of Panium. Russia and Putin are the king of the south when the United States initiated the Ukrainian War in 2014. In 2022 the invasion began and blood began to flow. In 2024 the king of the north returned.

Bitka kod Panija započinje u petnaestom retku, i zvijer iz zemlje, predstavljena Donaldom Trumpom, porazit će kraljevstvo juga. Kralj juga u jedanaestom retku započeo je rat s Ukrajinom, papinskom zamjenskom silom koju je financirala i podupirala papinska zamjenska sila iz desetog retka — Sjedinjene Američke Države. Kralj juga bio bi pobjednik u bitci kod Rafije, ali u posljedicama te pobjede progresivno raspadanje, koje je uvijek povezano s propašću zmajskog kraljevstva juga, ostavlja kralja juga u krajnje ranjivom položaju dok se kralj sjevera vraća, snažniji nego ikad, i priprema za bitku kod Panija. Rusija i Putin jesu kralj juga kada su Sjedinjene Američke Države 2014. započele ukrajinski rat. Godine 2022. započela je invazija i krv je počela teći. Godine 2024. kralj sjevera se vratio.

Peter is at Caesarea Philippi, which is the beginning of the proclamation of the message of the Midnight Cry. Peter, like unto Elijah and the Millerites as represented by Litch and Snow has previously set forth a prediction of a closed door and Islam. Its fulfillment identifies the distinction between the true and false latter rain messages, and the true and false messengers. Peter’s message is the corrected message of Nashville and Islam, and when he is standing in Caesarea Philippi, he is standing at Panium, the battle that leads to the Sunday law of verse sixteen. The fulfillment of Peter’s prediction identifies the beginning of the proclamation of the Midnight Cry, when Islam is loosed, which is also, line upon line when the battle of Panium arrives.

Petar se nalazi u Cezareji Filipovoj, što označuje početak naviještanja poruke Ponoćnoga poklika. Petar je, poput Ilije i milerita, kako su predstavljeni u Litchu i Snowu, prethodno iznio predviđanje o zatvorenim vratima i islamu. Njegovo ispunjenje prepoznaje razliku između istinite i lažne poruke kasne kiše te između istinitih i lažnih glasnika. Petrova poruka jest ispravljena poruka o Nashvilleu i islamu, a kada on stoji u Cezareji Filipovoj, stoji u Paniju, u boju koji vodi do nedjeljnoga zakona iz šesnaestoga retka. Ispunjenje Petrova predviđanja prepoznaje početak naviještanja Ponoćnoga poklika, kada se islam odrješuje, što je također, redak na redak, vrijeme kada dolazi bitka kod Panija.

## The Vision of Daniel ten

Viđenje iz Daniela deset

The feast of trumpets represents the seventh trumpet, which is the third woe, which is Islam. A trumpet is a warning message, and also a call to a holy convocation. It also is the litmus test that begins when the thirty days of the second temple test concludes. The first foundational external testing vision of antichrist arrived in the spring of 2024, and the second internal testing vision of Christ, as represented in Daniel 10 arrived in 2026.

Blagdan truba predstavlja sedmu trubu, koja je treći jao, a to je islam. Truba je poruka upozorenja, a ujedno i poziv na sveti sabor. Ona je također lakmus-test koji započinje kada se završi tridesetodnevni ispit drugoga hrama. Prvo temeljno izvanjsko ispitno viđenje antikrista došlo je u proljeće 2024., a drugo unutarnje ispitno viđenje Krista, kako je prikazano u Danielu 10, došlo je 2026.

> 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 colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

> Tada podigoh svoje oči i pogledah, i gle, neki čovjek odjeven u lan, čija su bedra bila opasana čistim zlatom iz Ufaza. Tijelo mu bijaše kao krizolit, lice mu kao bljesak munje, oči mu kao ognjene svjetiljke, ruke i noge kao sjaj uglačane mjedi, a glas njegovih riječi kao glas mnoštva.

> 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.

> I ja, Daniel, sam vidio viđenje; a ljudi koji bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe viđenja; nego silan drhtaj obuze ih, te pobjegoše da se sakriju.

> Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

> Stoga ostadoh sam i vidjeh ovo veliko viđenje, i ne osta u meni snage; jer se moja ljepota u meni pretvori u trulež, te ne zadržah nimalo snage.

> Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.

> I čuh glas njegovih riječi; i kad čuh glas njegovih riječi, tada padoh u dubok san licem prema zemlji, i lice mi bijaše okrenuto k tlu.

> And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.

> I gle, ruka me dotače te me podiže na moja koljena i na dlanove mojih ruku. I reče mi: Daniele, mili čovječe, razumij riječi koje ti govorim i uspravi se, jer sada sam k tebi poslan. I kad mi izgovori tu riječ, ustadoh dršćući. Tada mi reče: Ne boj se, Daniele, jer od prvoga dana kad si upravio svoje srce da razumiješ i da se poniziš pred svojim Bogom, tvoje su riječi bile uslišane, i ja sam došao zbog tvojih riječi. Ali knez kraljevstva perzijskoga protivio mi se dvadeset i jedan dan; no gle, Mihael, jedan od prvih knezova, dođe mi u pomoć, i ja ostadoh ondje kod kraljeva perzijskih. A sada sam došao da ti dam razumjeti što će snaći tvoj narod u posljednjim danima, jer je viđenje još za mnoge dane. I kad mi izgovori takve riječi, oborih svoje lice prema zemlji i zanijemjeh.

> And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.

> I gle, netko kao obličje sinova čovječjih dotače moje usne; tada otvorih svoja usta i progovorih te rekoh onomu koji je stajao preda mnom: Gospodaru moj, od viđenja navališe na me boli moje i ne zadržah snage. Jer kako sluga ovoga mojega gospodara može govoriti s ovim mojim gospodarom? Jer što se mene tiče, odmah ne osta u meni snage niti ostade daha u meni.

> Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. Daniel 10:5–19.

> Tada ponovno dođe i dotače me netko nalik po obličju čovjeku te me okrijepi. I reče: O čovječe vrlo ljubljeni, ne boj se; mir tebi! Budi jak, da, budi jak. A kad mi progovori, osnažih te rekoh: Neka govori gospodar moj, jer si me okrijepio. Daniel 10,5–19.

Daniel on the twenty-second day, sees the vision of the heavenly High Priest in the latter days. The vision of Rome establishing the vision was the foundational and alpha test of 2024, and the vision of Christ is the temple test. It produces a separation of the class who flee from Daniel and hide. That class hides under lies and falsehoods, and for this reason they receive strong delusion.

Daniel dvadeset i drugoga dana vidi viđenje nebeskoga Velikog Svećenika u posljednjim danima. Viđenje Rima koje uspostavlja viđenje bilo je temeljna i alfa-provjera 2024. godine, a viđenje Krista jest hramska provjera. Ono proizvodi odvajanje skupine koja bježi od Daniela i skriva se. Ta se skupina skriva pod lažima i neistinom, i zbog toga prima silnu zabludu.

Daniel is then touched three times, the first by Gabriel then by Christ and then a third time by Gabriel. In the Most Holy Place, when Daniel is touched three times he is portraying a strengthening, for it begins with him having no strength when he saw the vision, but by the third touch he is ultimately strengthened. He is strengthened to understand what shall befall God’s people in the latter days. The prophetic message of what befalls God’s people in the latter days is the message represented within the parable of the ten virgins.

Daniel je potom dotaknut tri puta, najprije od Gabriela, zatim od Krista, a potom treći put od Gabriela. U Svetinji nad svetinjama, kada je Daniel tri puta dotaknut, on prikazuje osnaživanje, jer započinje time što nema snage kada je vidio viđenje, ali je do trećega dodira konačno osnažen. Osnažen je da razumije što će zadesiti Božji narod u posljednje dane. Proročka poruka o onome što će zadesiti Božji narod u posljednje dane poruka je predstavljena unutar prispodobe o deset djevica.

Daniel begins with no strength, for the looking glass vision of Christ left him with no strength, but by the end of the three touches he is strengthened, and the command to “be strong, yea, be strong,” is a doubling, which marks the second angel or the second test. The second test is the temple test where God’s people are strengthened to proclaim the message of the Midnight Cry when the Exeter camp meeting ends. That test is the temple test where the cap stone, that was the foundation and corner stone becomes the marvelous capstone of the temple, thus marking its completion. Daniel is strengthened on the twenty-second day, when he enters the Most Holy Place by faith. When he does Gabriel touches him, then Christ touches him and then Gabriel touches him again. Daniel is therefore strengthened to proclaim the message in the Most Holy Place where he sees Christ between two angels, and the place in the Most Holy Place where Christ is in the middle is the mercy seat with the two covering cherubs looking to the ark that is illuminated from the light of the Shekinah glory of Christ seated upon His throne. The vision of Daniel ten is prophetically structured with Daniel looking upon the glory of Christ as the Shekinah upon the throne of the mercy seat, while the two covering cherubs gaze into the ark!

Daniel započinje bez snage, jer ga je zrcalna vizija Krista ostavila bez snage; no do kraja triju dodira on biva osnažen, a zapovijed „budi jak, da, budi jak” udvostručenje je koje označava drugoga anđela ili drugu kušnju. Druga kušnja jest kušnja hrama, u kojoj je Božji narod osnažen da objavi poruku Ponoćnoga vapaja kada završava taborni sastanak u Exeteru. Ta kušnja jest kušnja hrama, gdje zaglavni kamen, koji je bio temelj i ugaoni kamen, postaje čudesni zaglavni kamen hrama, označujući tako njegovo dovršenje. Daniel je osnažen dvadeset i drugoga dana, kada vjerom ulazi u Svetinju nad svetinjama. Kada to učini, Gabriel ga dotiče, zatim ga dotiče Krist, a potom ga Gabriel ponovno dotiče. Daniel je stoga osnažen da objavi poruku u Svetinji nad svetinjama, gdje vidi Krista između dvaju anđela; a mjesto u Svetinji nad svetinjama gdje je Krist u sredini jest Pomirilište, s dva zakriljujuća kerubina koji gledaju prema Kovčegu, što je obasjan svjetlošću Šekina-slave Krista koji sjedi na svojem prijestolju. Vizija iz desetoga poglavlja Danielove knjige proročki je ustrojena tako da Daniel promatra slavu Krista kao Šekinu nad prijestoljem Pomirilišta, dok dva zakriljujuća kerubina gledaju u Kovčeg!

Before the feast of trumpets Elijah claims his message of rain is the only message of rain that is of the Lord, and he sets forth a prediction that reaches its conclusion with a demonstration which proves who is or is not the messenger and what is or what isn’t the message. For three and a half years before Carmel king Ahab was searching for Elijah, for there is a period of controversy that precedes Carmel. Mount Carmel is simply the litmus test where character is manifested. The same period in Millerite history contained the same witness, as those who hated the message shut the faithful out of the churches and the faithful thereafter raised a message calling people out of the fallen former covenant people who were being passed by.

Prije blagdana truba Ilija tvrdi da je njegova poruka o kiši jedina poruka o kiši koja je od Gospodina, te iznosi proročanstvo koje svoj zaključak doseže dokazom koji pokazuje tko jest, a tko nije glasnik te što jest, a što nije poruka. Tri i pol godine prije Karmela kralj Ahab tražio je Iliju, jer postoji razdoblje prijepora koje prethodi Karmelu. Gora Karmel jednostavno je lakmusov test na kojem se očituje karakter. Isto razdoblje u mileritskoj povijesti sadržavalo je isto svjedočanstvo, jer su oni koji su mrzili poruku izbacili vjerne iz crkava, a vjerni su nakon toga podigli poruku koja je pozivala ljude da izađu iz paloga nekoć saveznog naroda koji je bio mimoilažen.

Peter is at the Pentecostal Sunday law proclaiming the message of Joel, which means Peter is proclaiming the same message when the period of the Midnight Cry begins at the end of the Exeter camp meeting, which began when the prediction of Peter had been corrected as was Snow and Litch’s messages. A controversy always precedes the fulfillment of the prediction. The controversy therefore begins before the fulfillment of the prediction.

Petar je pri pentekostalnom nedjeljnom zakonu naviještajući Joelovu poruku, što znači da Petar naviješta istu poruku kada razdoblje Ponoćnog pokliča započinje na kraju tabor-sastanka u Exeteru, koji je započeo kada je Petrovo proročanstvo bilo ispravljeno, kao što su bile i poruke Snowa i Litcha. Prije ispunjenja proročanstva uvijek prethodi spor. Spor, dakle, započinje prije ispunjenja proročanstva.

The message that causes anxiety for Ahab, Jezebel and her prophets, and the quibbling Jews of Christ day, and the fallen Protestants of Millerite history is identified by Peter as the book of Joel. Before the third litmus test that is marked by the loosing of the ass, Peter’s message is attacked by Laodicean Adventism, and Peter responds to the resistance by identifying that the messengers are not drunk, they are simply a fulfillment of Joel’s three chapters. Joel’s three chapters begin with a scathing condemnation of Laodicean Adventism. When the message reaches the ears of those who are drunken with strong drink they will respond. They confronted Christ as He descended the mount on His way to Jerusalem, and they confronted Him again in Jerusalem.

Poruka koja izaziva tjeskobu Ahabu, Jezebeli i njezinim prorocima, te cjepidlačnim Židovima Kristova doba i palim protestantima mleritske povijesti, od Petra je označena kao knjiga proroka Joela. Prije treće lakmus-probe, koja je obilježena odrješenjem magarca, Petrovu poruku napada laodicejski adventizam, a Petar odgovara na otpor ističući da glasnici nisu pijani, nego su jednostavno ispunjenje triju Joelovih poglavlja. Joelova tri poglavlja započinju žestokom osudom laodicejskog adventizma. Kada poruka dopre do ušiju onih koji su opijeni žestokim pićem, oni će odgovoriti. Suočili su se s Kristom dok je silazio s gore na svome putu u Jeruzalem, i ponovno su se suočili s Njime u Jeruzalemu.

The ass is loosed, the entry begins; the quibbling Jews want the message silenced. Jesus continues and then stops and weeps over the Adventism’s last day of probationary time. Then in Jerusalem another confrontation with the Jews who wish the people to cease their message. When the sun went down that day, probation for the Jewish nation reached another step. The progression of resistance continues to the death of the cross, and it began in earnest with the resurrection of Lazarus, which marked the arrival of the second angel and the tarrying time.

Magarac je odriješen, ulazak započinje; cjepidlačni Židovi žele da se poruka ušutka. Isus nastavlja, a zatim zastaje i plače nad posljednjim danom adventističkoga vremena kušnje. Potom u Jeruzalemu slijedi još jedan sukob sa Židovima koji žele da narod prestane sa svojom porukom. Kada je toga dana sunce zašlo, vrijeme kušnje za židovski narod dosegnulo je još jednu etapu. Napredovanje otpora nastavlja se do smrti na križu, a ozbiljno je započelo s Lazarovim uskrsnućem, koje je označilo dolazak drugoga anđela i vrijeme odgode.

> “Bethany was so near Jerusalem that the news of the raising of Lazarus was soon carried to the city. Through spies who had witnessed the miracle the Jewish rulers were speedily in possession of the facts. A meeting of the Sanhedrin was at once called to decide as to what should be done. Christ had now fully made manifest His control of death and the grave. That mighty miracle was the crowning evidence offered by God to men that He had sent His Son into the world for their salvation. It was a demonstration of divine power sufficient to convince every mind that was under the control of reason and enlightened conscience. Many who witnessed the resurrection of Lazarus were led to believe on Jesus. But the hatred of the priests against Him was intensified. They had rejected all lesser evidence of His divinity, and they were only enraged at this new miracle. The dead had been raised in the full light of day, and before a crowd of witnesses. No artifice could explain away such evidence. For this very reason the enmity of the priests grew deadlier. They were more than ever determined to put a stop to Christ’s work.

> „Betanija je bila tako blizu Jeruzalema da se vijest o Lazarovu uskrsnuću ubrzo pronijela do grada. Po uhodama koje su bile svjedoci toga čuda židovski su poglavari brzo došli u posjed činjenica. Odmah je sazvan sastanak Sinedrija da se odluči što treba učiniti. Krist je sada potpuno očitovao svoju vlast nad smrću i grobom. To moćno čudo bilo je vrhunski dokaz koji je Bog ponudio ljudima da je poslao svoga Sina na svijet radi njihova spasenja. Bilo je to očitovanje božanske sile dostatno da uvjeri svaki um koji je bio pod vlašću razuma i prosvijetljene savjesti. Mnogi koji su svjedočili Lazarovu uskrsnuću bili su navedeni da povjeruju u Isusa. Ali mržnja svećenika prema Njemu pojačala se. Odbacili su sve manje dokaze Njegova božanstva, a ovo novo čudo samo ih je još više razjarilo. Mrtvac je bio podignut usred bijela dana i pred mnoštvom svjedoka. Nikakva varka nije mogla obezvrijediti takav dokaz. Upravo je zato neprijateljstvo svećenika postalo još smrtonosnije. Više nego ikada prije bili su odlučni stati na kraj Kristovu djelu.“

> “The Sadducees, though not favorable to Christ, had not been so full of malignity toward Him as were the Pharisees. Their hatred had not been so bitter. But they were now thoroughly alarmed. They did not believe in a resurrection of the dead. Producing so-called science, they had reasoned that it would be an impossibility for a dead body to be brought to life. But by a few words from Christ their theory had been overthrown. They were shown to be ignorant both of the Scriptures and of the power of God. They could see no possibility of removing the impression made on the people by the miracle. How could men be turned away from Him who had prevailed to rob the grave of its dead? Lying reports were put in circulation, but the miracle could not be denied, and how to counteract its effect they knew not. Thus far the Sadducees had not encouraged the plan of putting Christ to death. But after the resurrection of Lazarus they decided that only by His death could His fearless denunciations against them be stopped.” The Desire of Ages, 537.

> „Saduceji, premda nisu bili naklonjeni Kristu, nisu prema Njemu bili toliko ispunjeni zlobom kao farizeji. Njihova mržnja nije bila tako ogorčena. Ali sada su bili temeljito uznemireni. Nisu vjerovali u uskrsnuće mrtvih. Pozivajući se na takozvanu znanost, zaključivali su da bi bilo nemoguće mrtvo tijelo vratiti u život. No nekoliko Kristovih riječi oborilo je njihovu teoriju. Pokazalo se da ne poznaju ni Pisma ni Božju silu. Nisu vidjeli nikakvu mogućnost da uklone dojam koji je čudo ostavilo na narod. Kako odvratiti ljude od Onoga koji je uspio grobu oteti njegove mrtve? U opticaj su puštana lažna izvješća, ali čudo se nije moglo zanijekati, a kako osujetiti njegov učinak, nisu znali. Dotad saduceji nisu podupirali naum da se Krist usmrti. Ali nakon Lazarova uskrsnuća odlučili su da se samo Njegovom smrću mogu zaustaviti Njegova neustrašiva raskrinkavanja upućena njima.” Čežnja vjekova, 537.

Lazarus’s death marked the beginning of the four days that Jesus tarried. His death represented the arrival of the second angel, that marks the beginning of the tarrying time. His resurrection marks the resurrection of the two witnesses on December 31, 2023, twenty-two years after 9/11. His resurrection marks the resurrection of Ezekiel’s dead dry bones. His resurrection was typified by the creation of Adam, which consisted of humanity, represented by clay, being combined with Divinity, represented by the breath of life.

Lazarova smrt označila je početak četiriju dana tijekom kojih je Isus ostao. Njegova je smrt predstavljala dolazak drugoga anđela, koji označuje početak vremena zadržavanja. Njegovo uskrsnuće označuje uskrsnuće dvaju svjedoka 31. prosinca 2023., dvadeset i dvije godine nakon 11. rujna. Njegovo uskrsnuće označuje uskrsnuće Ezekielovih mrtvih suhih kostiju. Njegovo je uskrsnuće bilo predoznačeno stvaranjem Adama, koje se sastojalo od toga da se čovještvo, predstavljeno glinom, sjedini s Božanstvom, predstavljenim dahom života.

> “The priests and rulers of the Jews hated Jesus; but multitudes thronged to listen to His words of wisdom and to witness His mighty works. The people were stirred with the deepest interest and anxiously followed Jesus to hear the instructions of this wonderful teacher. Many of the rulers believed on Him, but dared not confess their faith lest they should be put out of the synagogue. The priests and elders decided that something must be done to draw the attention of the people from Jesus. They feared that all men would believe on Him. They could see no safety for themselves. They must lose their position or put Jesus to death. And after they should put Him to death, there would still be those who were living monuments of His power. Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead, and they feared that if they should kill Jesus, Lazarus would testify of His mighty power. The people were flocking to see him who was raised from the dead, and the rulers determined to slay Lazarus also, and put down the excitement. Then they would turn the people to the traditions and doctrines of men, to tithe mint and rue, and again have influence over them. They agreed to take Jesus when He was alone; for if they should attempt to take Him in a crowd, when the minds of the people were all interested in Him, they would be stoned.” Early Writings, 165.

> „Svećenici i židovski glavari mrzili su Isusa; ali mnoštvo je hrlilo slušati Njegove riječi mudrosti i svjedočiti Njegovim silnim djelima. Narod je bio pokrenut najdubljim zanimanjem i tjeskobno je slijedio Isusa da čuje pouke ovoga čudesnog učitelja. Mnogi od glavara vjerovali su u Njega, ali se nisu usuđivali priznati svoju vjeru da ne bi bili isključeni iz sinagoge. Svećenici i starješine odlučili su da se nešto mora učiniti kako bi se pozornost naroda odvratila od Isusa. Bojali su se da će svi ljudi povjerovati u Njega. Za sebe nisu vidjeli nikakve sigurnosti. Morali su izgubiti svoj položaj ili usmrtiti Isusa. A nakon što bi Ga usmrtili, još bi uvijek bilo onih koji su bili živi spomenici Njegove sile. Isus je uskrisio Lazara iz mrtvih, i bojali su se da će, ako ubiju Isusa, Lazar svjedočiti o Njegovoj silnoj moći. Narod je u mnoštvu dolazio vidjeti onoga koji je bio uskrišen iz mrtvih, i glavari su odlučili ubiti i Lazara te stišati uzbuđenje. Tada bi narod okrenuli predajama i naukama ljudskim, da daje desetinu od metvice i rutvice, i ponovno zadobili utjecaj nad njim. Dogovorili su se da uhvate Isusa kad bude sam; jer ako bi Ga pokušali uhvatiti u mnoštvu, dok bi misli naroda sve bile zaokupljene Njime, bili bi kamenovani.“ Early Writings, 165.

On July 18, 2020 the two witnesses of Revelation were slain and the second angel and tarrying time arrived. December 31, 2023 the two step resurrection process began. The first step was the foundation; the second step was the erection of the temple upon the foundation. The Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church hated the message from the time it was born in 1989, and they hate it still. Now that the hated witnesses they thought were dead, are alive again; they will hate the message even more. They will argue about the prediction of July 18, 2020 with a venom that the Jews had for the resurrection of Lazarus. In the history of the temple test, Peter will answer their erroneous charges by pointing to the book of Joel as the answer to all their lies.

Dana 18. srpnja 2020. ubijena su dva svjedoka iz Otkrivenja, te su nastupili drugi anđeo i vrijeme zastoja. Dana 31. prosinca 2023. započeo je proces uskrsnuća u dva koraka. Prvi je korak bio temelj; drugi je korak bilo podizanje hrama na tome temelju. Laodicejska Crkva adventista sedmoga dana mrzila je ovu poruku od vremena njezina rođenja 1989., i mrzi je još uvijek. Sada kada su omraženi svjedoci, za koje su mislili da su mrtvi, ponovno živi, mrzit će poruku još više. Raspravljat će o predviđanju od 18. srpnja 2020. s otrovnošću kakvu su Židovi imali prema Lazarovu uskrsnuću. U povijesti ispita o hramu Petar će odgovoriti na njihove pogrešne optužbe ukazujući na knjigu Joela kao na odgovor na sve njihove laži.
