Inspiration is clear that chapter three of Daniel, represents the Sunday law in the United States. In Isaiah chapter twenty-three, the whore of Tyre, who commits fornication with the kings of the earth, is the whore of Revelation that commits fornication with the kings of the earth. In Revelation seventeen, that whore has Babylon the Great written on her forehead.

Nadahnuće jasno pokazuje da treće poglavlje Danielove knjige predstavlja nedjeljni zakon u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. U dvadeset i trećem poglavlju Izaije, tirska bludnica, koja čini blud s kraljevima zemaljskim, jest bludnica iz Otkrivenja koja čini blud s kraljevima zemaljskim. U sedamnaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja, na čelu te bludnice napisano je: Babilon Veliki.

> And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:4, 5.

> I žena bijaše odjevena u grimiz i skrlet, i nakićena zlatom i dragim kamenjem i biserjem, imajući u ruci zlatnu čašu punu gnusoba i nečistoće svojega bluda. I na njezinu čelu bijaše napisano ime: TAJNA, BABILON VELIKI, MAJKA BLUDNICA I GNUSOBA ZEMALJSKIH. Otkrivenje 17:4, 5.

Before 1950, English dictionaries correctly identified the woman represented in these two verses, as the Roman Catholic church. The whole world knew after the Dark Ages of Catholic persecutions that were accomplished from 538 through 1798; that the Roman church was the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The Declaration of Independence was designed as a rejection of the rule of Catholicism and also the rule of the earthly kings that had formed unholy relationships with the whore. Isaiah chapter twenty-three, identifies that the whore would be forgotten. You would never find the definition of the whore of Revelation seventeen as the Catholic church in any modern search engines, for God’s Word never fails, and God’s Word states that she would be forgotten.

Prije 1950. godine engleski su rječnici ispravno poistovjećivali ženu predstavljenu u ova dva retka s Rimokatoličkom crkvom. Cijeli je svijet nakon mračnoga srednjega vijeka katoličkih progonstava, koja su se provodila od 538. do 1798. godine, znao da je Rimska crkva bludnica koja bludniči s kraljevima zemaljskim. Deklaracija o neovisnosti bila je zamišljena kao odbacivanje vladavine katolicizma, kao i vladavine zemaljskih kraljeva koji su uspostavili nesvete odnose s bludnicom. Dvadeset i treće poglavlje Izaije navodi da će bludnica biti zaboravljena. Ni u jednoj suvremenoj tražilici ne biste pronašli definiciju bludnice iz Otkrivenja sedamnaest kao Katoličke crkve, jer Božja Riječ nikada ne zatajuje, a Božja Riječ kaže da će ona biti zaboravljena.

> And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Isaiah 23:15–18.

> I dogodit će se u onaj dan da će Tir biti zaboravljen sedamdeset godina, prema danima jednoga kralja; a nakon navršenih sedamdeset godina Tir će pjevati kao bludnica. Uzmi harfu, obilazi gradom, o zaboravljena bludnice; zasviraj milozvučno, pjevaj mnoge pjesme, da budeš zapamćena. I dogodit će se nakon navršenih sedamdeset godina da će Gospod pohoditi Tir, i ona će se vratiti svojoj nadnici te će bludničiti sa svim kraljevstvima svijeta po svoj površini zemlje. A njezina trgovina i njezina nadnica bit će svetost Gospodu: neće se zgrtati niti pohranjivati; jer će njezina trgovina biti za one koji prebivaju pred Gospodom, da jedu do sitosti i za postojanu odjeću. Izaija 23:15–18.

God’s Word never fails, and since 1798, the whore has been forgotten, but in the last days she will be remembered. She is remembered when God’s seventh-day Sabbath is attacked, and it is the one commandment of the Ten Commandments, that was always to be remembered. She is remembered when she takes her harp, travels around the city and makes sweet melodies and many songs. She sings her songs at the end of seventy years, that are the days of one king. A king, according to Daniel chapter two, is a kingdom.

Božja Riječ nikada ne zatajuje, i od 1798. bludnica je bila zaboravljena, ali će u posljednje dane biti spomenuta. Spominje se kada se napada Božja subota sedmoga dana, a to je ona jedina zapovijed od Deset zapovijedi koju je uvijek trebalo pamtiti. Spominje se kada uzima svoju harfu, obilazi grad i stvara slatke napjeve i mnoge pjesme. Svoje pjesme pjeva na kraju sedamdeset godina, koje su dani jednoga kralja. Kralj je, prema drugom poglavlju Danielove knjige, kraljevstvo.

> And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. Daniel 2:38.

> I gdje god prebivaju sinovi čovječji, zvijeri poljske i ptice nebeske predao je u tvoju ruku te te postavio vladarom nad svima njima. Ti si ta glava od zlata. Daniel 2,38.

A “head,” or a “king” are both symbols of a kingdom. The kingdom that is represented by the “days of one king,” is the United States. The United States began its prophetic rule as the earth beast when the deadly wound was delivered to the whore of Babylon in 1798. It continues as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy until the Sunday law. The literal kingdom of Bible prophecy that actually ruled for seventy years was Babylon.

„Glava” ili „kralj” oboje su simboli kraljevstva. Kraljevstvo koje je predstavljeno „danima jednoga kralja” jesu Sjedinjene Američke Države. Sjedinjene Američke Države započele su svoju proročku vladavinu kao zvijer zemlje kada je 1798. bludnici Babilona zadana smrtonosna rana. One nastavljaju kao šesto kraljevstvo biblijskog proročanstva sve do zakona o nedjelji. Doslovno kraljevstvo biblijskog proročanstva koje je doista vladalo sedamdeset godina bio je Babilon.

> Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. Jeremiah 25:9–12.

> Evo, poslat ću i dovesti sva plemena sa sjevera, govori Gospodin, i Nabukodonozora, kralja babilonskoga, slugu svojega, i dovest ću ih protiv ove zemlje i protiv njezinih stanovnika i protiv svih ovih okolnih naroda; i sasvim ću ih zatrti te ih učiniti užasom i ruglom i vječnim pustošima. Štoviše, uklonit ću od njih glas veselja i glas radosti, glas zaručnika i glas zaručnice, zvuk žrvnjeva i svjetlost svjetiljke. I sva će ova zemlja postati pustoš i užas; i ovi će narodi služiti kralju babilonskomu sedamdeset godina. I dogodit će se, kada se navrši sedamdeset godina, da ću kazniti kralja babilonskoga i onaj narod, govori Gospodin, za njihovu bezakonje, i zemlju Kaldejaca, i učinit ću je vječnim pustošima. Jeremija 25:9–12.

Literal Babylon ruled for seventy years, typifying the kingdom in the last days which will reign for seventy symbolic years. Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, attacked Judah three times. The first attack was against Jehoiakim, and the seventy years of Jeremiah’s prophecy then began. It ended with the death of Belshazzar, when God punished “the king of Babylon,” as he had punished king Jehoiakim in the beginning of the seventy years. The prophetic kingdom that is represented as “days of one king” (one kingdom) as “seventy years” was Babylon, and the kingdom of Bible prophecy that rules for the seventy symbolic years during the time when the whore of Tyre is forgotten, is the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. The transition from the fifth to sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1798, is part of the truth that John is illustrating in Revelation chapter thirteen.

Doslovni Babilon vladao je sedamdeset godina, predočujući kraljevstvo u posljednjim danima koje će vladati sedamdeset simboličkih godina. Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, napao je Judu tri puta. Prvi napad bio je protiv Jojakima, i tada je započelo sedamdeset godina Jeremijina proročanstva. Ono je završilo smrću Belšacara, kada je Bog kaznio „kralja babilonskoga“, kao što je na početku sedamdeset godina kaznio kralja Jojakima. Proročko kraljevstvo koje je prikazano kao „dani jednoga kralja“ (jedno kraljevstvo), kao „sedamdeset godina“, bilo je Babilon, a kraljevstvo biblijskoga proročanstva koje vlada tijekom sedamdeset simboličkih godina, za vrijeme kada je bludnica iz Tira zaboravljena, jest zvijer iz zemlje iz Otkrivenja trinaest. Prijelaz iz petoga u šesto kraljevstvo biblijskoga proročanstva godine 1798. dio je istine koju Ivan prikazuje u trinaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja.

> And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. . . . And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:1, 11.

> I stajah na pijesku morskom i vidjeh Zvijer kako izlazi iz mora, imajući sedam glava i deset rogova, a na svojim rogovima deset kruna, i na svojim glavama ime hule.... I vidjeh drugu Zvijer gdje izlazi iz zemlje; i imala je dva roga kao janje, a govorila je kao zmaj. Otkrivenje 13,1.11

The seashore which John stood upon in Revelation chapter thirteen, represents 1798.

Morska obala na kojoj je Ivan stajao u 13. poglavlju Otkrivenja predstavlja 1798. godinu.

> “At the time when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, is represented by a beast with lamblike horns. The beasts preceding it had risen from the sea; but this came up out of the earth, representing the peaceful rise of the nation which it symbolized—the United States.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.

> „U vrijeme kada je papinstvo, lišeno svoje snage, bilo prisiljeno odustati od progonstva, Ivan je ugledao novu silu kako ustaje da odjekuje zmajevim glasom i nastavi isto okrutno i bogohulno djelo. Ta sila, posljednja koja će zaratiti protiv Crkve i Božjeg zakona, prikazana je zvijeri s janjećim rogovima. Zvijeri koje su joj prethodile izišle su iz mora, a ova je izišla iz zemlje, predstavljajući miran uspon naroda koji je simbolizirala — Sjedinjene Američke Države.” Signs of the Times, 8. veljače 1910.

The beast from the sea was divided by the sand of the sea from the beast of the earth. The fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1798 (the seashore), represented past history, and the sixth kingdom was future history. The Millerites did not see this truth. William Miller was given insight into the dragon power of paganism and its relationship with the following kingdom represented as the beast of Catholicism. Revelation thirteen, opens up the story of the false prophet, that is the third of the three powers which lead the world to Armageddon. The story begins on the seashore of 1798.

Zvijer iz mora bila je pijeskom morskim odijeljena od zvijeri zemaljske. Peto kraljevstvo biblijskog proroštva godine 1798. (morska obala) predstavljalo je prošlu povijest, a šesto kraljevstvo bilo je buduća povijest. Mileriti nisu uvidjeli tu istinu. Williamu Milleru dano je razumijevanje zmajske sile poganstva i njezina odnosa prema sljedećem kraljevstvu, prikazanom kao zvijer katolicizma. Trinaesto poglavlje Otkrivenja otvara pripovijest o lažnom proroku, to jest o trećoj od triju sila koje vode svijet u Armagedon. Pripovijest započinje na morskoj obali godine 1798.

The United States begins its history with the symbolism of the lamb, but ends its history speaking as a dragon. The history of the symbolic seventy years of the reign of the earth beast is represented in one verse, in chapter thirteen of Revelation, for the verse identifies both the beginning and ending of the earth beast in the same sentence.

Sjedinjene Države započinju svoju povijest simbolikom janjeta, ali završavaju svoju povijest govoreći kao zmaj. Povijest simboličnih sedamdeset godina vladavine zvijeri iz zemlje prikazana je u jednom retku, u trinaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja, jer taj redak u istoj rečenici označava i početak i završetak zvijeri iz zemlje.

> And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11.

> I vidjeh drugu Zvijer kako izlazi iz zemlje; imala je dva roga poput janjećih, a govorila je kao zmaj. Otkrivenje 13,11.

When the United States speaks as a dragon, it passes the Sunday law. Before it accomplishes the enforcement of Sunday worship the apostate churches of Protestantism will come together and take political control of the apostate government, as they form the image of the beast. When inspiration identifies (and it does so repeatedly), that Nebuchadnezzar’s dedication service of the golden image represents the Sunday law, it is marking the end of the seventy symbolic years of the earth beast. Daniel chapters one through three, represent the three angels’ messages of Revelation chapter fourteen. The third angel becomes a living truth at the Sunday law.

Kada Sjedinjene Američke Države progovore kao zmaj, donose nedjeljni zakon. Prije nego što ostvare nametanje štovanja nedjelje, otpadničke crkve protestantizma ujedinit će se i preuzeti političku kontrolu nad otpadničkom vladom, tvoreći lik zvijeri. Kada nadahnuće utvrđuje (a to čini opetovano) da Nabukodonozorova služba posvećenja zlatnoga lika predstavlja nedjeljni zakon, ono označava kraj sedamdeset simboličkih godina zemaljske zvijeri. Prva do treća glava Danielove knjige predstavljaju poruke trojice anđela iz četrnaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja. Treći anđeo postaje živa istina pri nedjeljnom zakonu.

Prophetically, chapters one through three in the book of Daniel, represent the seventy symbolic years of the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. The dietary test represented in chapter one, and the symbolism of Jehoiakim, identify that chapter one, prophetically begins at the empowerment of the first angel, either on August 11, 1840, or on September 11, 2001, in the history of the third angel.

Proročki gledano, prva do treća poglavlja u knjizi proroka Daniela predstavljaju sedamdeset simboličnih godina zemaljske zvijeri iz Otkrivenja trinaest. Ispit prehrane prikazan u prvom poglavlju te simbolika Jojakima pokazuju da prvo poglavlje, proročki, započinje osnaženjem prvoga anđela, bilo 11. kolovoza 1840., bilo 11. rujna 2001., u povijesti trećega anđela.

Babylon is the nation that ruled for seventy years, and those years, represents the history of the United States. Babylon’s seventy years did not conclude until well after Nebuchadnezzar’s dedication of the golden image, but prophetically the seventy symbolic years that Isaiah employs in chapter twenty-three, ends in chapter three of Daniel. When Nebuchadnezzar’s orchestra plays the music for the dedication ceremony, the mark of the beast is enforced, and at that time the whore of Tyre and of Babylon begins to sing her songs to the kings of the earth, while apostate Israel bows and dances.

Babilon je narod koji je vladao sedamdeset godina, a te godine predstavljaju povijest Sjedinjenih Država. Babilonovih sedamdeset godina nije završilo sve do znatno nakon Nabukodonozorova posvećenja zlatnoga lika, ali proročki sedamdeset simboličnih godina koje Izaija rabi u dvadeset trećem poglavlju završavaju u trećem poglavlju Daniela. Kada Nabukodonozorov orkestar zasvira glazbu za svečanost posvećenja, žig zvijeri biva nametnut, i u to vrijeme bludnica iz Tira i iz Babilona počinje pjevati svoje pjesme kraljevima zemaljskim, dok se otpali Izrael klanja i pleše.

> Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Daniel 3:1–7.

> Kralj Nabukodonozor načini kip od zlata, visok šezdeset lakata, a širok šest lakata; postavi ga u ravnici Duri, u pokrajini babilonskoj. Tada kralj Nabukodonozor posla da se saberu knezovi, upravitelji i vojvode, suci, rizničari, savjetnici, načelnici i svi poglavari pokrajina, da dođu na posvećenje kipa što ga je kralj Nabukodonozor postavio. Tada se sabraše knezovi, upravitelji i vojvode, suci, rizničari, savjetnici, načelnici i svi poglavari pokrajina na posvećenje kipa što ga je kralj Nabukodonozor postavio; i stajahu pred kipom koji je Nabukodonozor postavio. Tada glasnik povika iza glasa: Vama se zapovijeda, o narodi, puci i jezici, da, kad začujete zvuk roga, frule, citre, harfe, psaltira, gajda i svakojake glazbe, padnete ničice i poklonite se zlatnom kipu što ga je kralj Nabukodonozor postavio; a tko ne padne ničice i ne pokloni se, istoga će časa biti bačen usred peći užarene ognjem. Stoga u ono vrijeme, kad svi narodi začuše zvuk roga, frule, citre, harfe, psaltira, gajda i svakojake glazbe, svi narodi, puci i jezici padoše ničice i pokloniše se zlatnom kipu što ga je kralj Nabukodonozor postavio. Daniel 3,1–7.

At that “time,” or in that same “hour,” which is the Sunday law in the United States, anyone who refuses to worship the golden image will “be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.” The only book in the Old Testament that contains the word translated as “hour,” is the book of Daniel. The word “hour” in chapter three, represents the arrival of the mark of the beast. The word “hour” also represents the message of the first angel in chapter four, for it there symbolizes the warning to Nebuchadnezzar of the coming “hour” of God’s judgment.

U to „vrijeme”, ili u taj isti „sat”, što je zakon o nedjelji u Sjedinjenim Državama, svatko tko odbije pokloniti se zlatnom kipu bit će „bačen usred peći ognjene i užarene”. Jedina knjiga u Starome zavjetu koja sadrži riječ prevedenu kao „sat” jest knjiga proroka Daniela. Riječ „sat” u trećem poglavlju predstavlja dolazak žiga zvijeri. Riječ „sat” također predstavlja poruku prvoga anđela u četvrtom poglavlju, jer ondje simbolizira upozorenje Nebukadnezaru o nadolazećem „satu” Božjega suda.

> Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. Daniel 4:19.

> Tada se Daniel, kojemu je ime bilo Beltšasar, prenerazi za jedan čas, i njegove ga misli uznemiriše. Kralj progovori i reče: Beltšasare, neka te ne uznemiruje san ni njegovo tumačenje. Beltšasar odgovori i reče: Gospodaru moj, san neka bude onima koji te mrze, a njegovo tumačenje tvojim neprijateljima. Daniel 4,19.

Daniel presented the warning to Nebuchadnezzar of his coming hour of God’s judgment, that Nebuchadnezzar later rejected. The “hour” in chapter four, when used again in the chapter, then represents the “hour” that the judgment arrived. In Millerite history the first “hour” in chapter four, would represent the arrival of the first angel in 1798. That message was fulfilled when the investigative judgment began on October 22, 1844. The “hour” in chapter four, is first a symbol of a message of coming judgment and then it is employed as the symbol that the judgment has arrived. The first use of the word “hour” represents 1798, and the arrival of the first angel, and the second use represents October 22, 1844, and the arrival of the third angel.

Daniel je iznio Nebukadnezaru upozorenje o nadolazećem času Božjeg suda, koje je Nebukadnezar poslije odbacio. „Čas” u četvrtom poglavlju, kada se ponovno upotrebljava u tom poglavlju, tada predstavlja „čas” u kojemu je sud stigao. U milleritskoj povijesti prvi „čas” u četvrtom poglavlju predstavljao bi dolazak prvoga anđela 1798. godine. Ta je poruka bila ispunjena kada je istražni sud započeo 22. listopada 1844. „Čas” u četvrtom poglavlju najprije je simbol poruke o nadolazećem sudu, a zatim se upotrebljava kao simbol da je sud stigao. Prva uporaba riječi „čas” predstavlja 1798. godinu i dolazak prvoga anđela, a druga uporaba predstavlja 22. listopada 1844. i dolazak trećega anđela.

> The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. Daniel 4:33.

> U isti čas izvrši se to na Nabukodonozoru: bi izagnan od ljudi, jeo je travu kao volovi, i tijelo mu bijaše orošeno nebeskom rosom, dok mu kosa ne naraste kao orlovo perje, a nokti kao ptičje kandže. Daniel 4,33.

The “hour” in chapter four is therefore a symbol of both 1798 and 1844, which are the ending points for the two curses of “seven times,” against the northern (beginning in 723 BC) and southern (beginning in 677 BC) kingdoms of Israel. Those two curses, representing twenty-five hundred and twenty years of scattering and slavery, represent the execution of God’s first and last indignation against His apostate people. They both started with God’s judgment, and their respective endings represent the warning message of God’s approaching investigative judgment, or the arrival of the investigative judgment. Both of the judgments represented by the ending of the two judgments of “seven times” are represented by the word “hour,” in Daniel chapter four.

„Čas“ u četvrtom poglavlju stoga je simbol i 1798. i 1844. godine, koje su završne točke dviju kletvi od „sedam vremena“ nad sjevernim (počevši 723. pr. Kr.) i južnim (počevši 677. pr. Kr.) kraljevstvom Izraela. Te dvije kletve, koje predstavljaju dvije tisuće petsto i dvadeset godina raspršenja i ropstva, predstavljaju izvršenje Božjega prvog i posljednjeg gnjeva nad Njegovim otpaličkim narodom. Obje su započele Božjim sudom, a njihovi odgovarajući završeci predstavljaju poruku upozorenja o Božjem približavajućem istražnom sudu, odnosno dolazak istražnoga suda. Oba suda, predstavljena završetkom dvaju sudova od „sedam vremena“, u četvrtom poglavlju Daniela predstavljena su riječju „čas“.

In Millerite history the “hour” represents the beginning of the movement at the time of the end in 1798, when the first angel arrived, and the second “hour” in chapter four represents the end of the movement, when the third angel arrived on October 22, 1844. The Millerite movement of the first angel is repeated in the movement of the third angel, so the two usages of “hour” in chapter four, also mark the time of the end in 1989, and also the soon-coming Sunday law. The Millerite movement of the first angel announced the opening of the investigative judgment, and the movement of the third angel announces the opening of God’s executive judgment, which is progressive, beginning at the Sunday law, and continuing and escalating until the Second Coming of Christ.

U mileritskoj povijesti „sat” predstavlja početak pokreta u vrijeme svršetka 1798. godine, kada je stigao prvi anđeo, a drugi „sat” u četvrtom poglavlju predstavlja završetak pokreta, kada je treći anđeo stigao 22. listopada 1844. Mileritski pokret prvoga anđela ponavlja se u pokretu trećega anđela, tako da dvije uporabe izraza „sat” u četvrtom poglavlju također označuju vrijeme svršetka 1989. godine, kao i uskoro nadolazeći nedjeljni zakon. Mileritski pokret prvoga anđela navijestio je otvaranje istražnoga suda, a pokret trećega anđela navješćuje otvaranje Božjega izvršnoga suda, koji je progresivan, započinje nedjeljnim zakonom te se nastavlja i pojačava sve do Kristova drugog dolaska.

We will continue our study of Daniel chapter three, and conclude our consideration of the word “hour” in the next article.

Nastavit ćemo naše proučavanje trećega poglavlja Daniela, a u sljedećem ćemo članku zaključiti naše razmatranje riječi „sat”.

> Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:16–28.

> Evo, šaljem vas kao ovce posred vukova; budite dakle mudri kao zmije i bezazleni kao golubovi. A čuvajte se ljudi, jer će vas predavati vijećima i bičevati vas po svojim sinagogama; i zbog mene će vas voditi pred upravitelje i kraljeve, njima i poganima za svjedočanstvo. A kad vas predaju, ne brinite se kako ćete ili što ćete govoriti, jer će vam se u onaj čas dati što ćete govoriti. Jer ne govorite vi, nego Duh Oca vašega govori u vama. A brat će predati brata na smrt, i otac dijete; i djeca će ustati protiv roditelja te ih usmrtiti. I svi će vas zamrziti zbog imena mojega; ali tko ustraje do svršetka, taj će se spasiti. A kad vas budu progonili u ovome gradu, bježite u drugi; jer zaista, kažem vam, nećete obići gradove Izraelove dok ne dođe Sin Čovječji. Učenik nije nad učiteljem, niti sluga nad svojim gospodarom. Dosta je učeniku da bude kao njegov učitelj, i sluzi kao njegov gospodar. Ako su domaćina nazvali Beelzebulom, koliko će više tako nazivati njegove ukućane? Ne bojte ih se dakle, jer nema ništa pokriveno što se neće otkriti, ni skriveno što se neće doznati. Što vam govorim u tami, recite na svjetlu; i što čujete na uho, propovijedajte na krovovima. I ne bojte se onih koji ubijaju tijelo, a duše ne mogu ubiti; nego se radije bojte onoga koji može i dušu i tijelo pogubiti u paklu. Matej 10:16–28.
