If you looked closely at the last passage in the previous article, you will have looked at the original source of the passage that is found in the book Early Writings, which A. G. Daniells claims to have taken with him in his interview on the subject of “the daily” with Sister White in 1910. Those who were working to establish the “lie” that “the daily,” represents Christ’s sanctuary ministry needed to undermine Sister White’s direct and clear endorsement of the correct view being given to those who gave the judgment hour cry. The “lie” they invented was that the only warning Sister White was being specific about was the warning of time setting. That is what Arthur White works to establish in his biography, and it is what his father, Ellen White’s son, and Daniells were trying to prove by the invented interview.

Ako ste pomno promotrili posljednji odlomak u prethodnom članku, vidjeli ste izvorni izvor odlomka koji se nalazi u knjizi Early Writings, za koji A. G. Daniells tvrdi da ga je ponio sa sobom na svoj razgovor o predmetu „the daily” sa sestrom White 1910. godine. Oni koji su radili na uspostavljanju „laži” da „the daily” predstavlja Kristovu službu u Svetištu morali su potkopati izravno i jasno odobrenje sestre White ispravnog gledišta koje je bilo izneseno onima koji su objavili poklič časa suda. „Laž” koju su izmislili bila je da je jedino upozorenje o kojem je sestra White bila određena upravo upozorenje protiv određivanja vremena. To je ono što Arthur White nastoji utvrditi u svojoj biografiji, i to je ono što su njegov otac, sin Ellen White, i Daniells nastojali dokazati tim izmišljenim razgovorom.

As already noted, there is no record of any interview between Sister White and Daniells on the subject of “the daily.” The supposed interview was proposed in 1931. If Sister White had endorsed Daniells fallen view of “the daily” at an interview in 1910, why would he, someone Sister White identified was zealous to promote his view, keep silent about her endorsement for twenty-one years? It wasn’t an interview, it was an invention.

Kao što je već zapaženo, ne postoji nikakav zapis o bilo kakvom razgovoru između sestre White i Danielsa o predmetu „svakidašnje“. Navodni razgovor iznesen je tek 1931. godine. Da je sestra White na razgovoru 1910. godine poduprla Danielsovo otpalo gledište o „svakidašnjem“, zašto bi on, netko za koga je sestra White utvrdila da revno promiče svoje gledište, dvadeset i jednu godinu šutio o njezinoj potpori? To nije bio razgovor; to je bila izmišljotina.

The invention of the interview sought to place the context of her statement of “the daily” as if it was something that was incidental to her warning against time setting, and Arthur White placed his fingerprints on the lie in the fashion he presented in the history of 1931. As a Christian he should have simply reported the history, and left historical revisionism out of the equation. We ended the last article with the passage from 1850, that the passage in Early Writings is derived from. The statement first appeared in 1850, in the Review, and then again in the book Experience and Views. The third time it appears is in the book Early Writings, but in its evolution to the book Early Writings certain changes occurred. However, we would not say that many of the Spirit of Prophecy writings have been changed as some claim in their effort to discredit her work.

Izum intervjua nastojao je smjestiti kontekst njezine izjave o „svagdašnjoj“ kao da je to bilo nešto usputno u odnosu na njezino upozorenje protiv određivanja vremena, a Arthur White ostavio je svoje otiske prstiju na toj laži načinom na koji ju je prikazao u povijesti iz 1931. Kao kršćanin trebao je jednostavno iznijeti povijest i iz jednadžbe izostaviti povijesni revizionizam. Posljednji smo članak završili odlomkom iz 1850., iz kojega je izveden odlomak u knjizi Rani spisi. Izjava se prvi put pojavila 1850. godine u Reviewu, a zatim ponovno u knjizi Experience and Views. Treći se put pojavljuje u knjizi Rani spisi, ali su se u njezinu razvoju do knjige Rani spisi dogodile određene promjene. Ipak, ne bismo rekli da su mnogi spisi Duha proroštva bili izmijenjeni, kako neki tvrde u svojem nastojanju da diskreditiraju njezino djelo.

> “The Lord showed me that the 1843 chart was directed by his hand, and that no part of it should be altered; that the figures were as he wanted them. That his hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until his hand was removed.

> „Gospodin mi je pokazao da je karta iz 1843. bila vođena njegovom rukom i da se nijedan njezin dio ne smije mijenjati; da su brojke bile onakve kakve ih je on htio. Da je njegova ruka bila nad njom i prikrila pogrešku u nekim brojkama, tako da je nitko nije mogao vidjeti dok njegova ruka nije bila uklonjena.״

> “Then I saw in relation to the ‘Daily,’ that the word ‘sacrifice’ was supplied by man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text; and that the Lord gave the correct view of it to those who gave the judgment hour cry. When union existed, before 1844, nearly all were united on the correct view of the ‘Daily;’ but since 1844, in the confusion, other views have been embraced, and darkness and confusion has followed.” Review and Herald, November 1, 1850.

> „Tada sam u vezi sa ‘Svakidašnjom’ vidjela da je riječ ‘žrtva’ dodana ljudskom mudrošću i da ne pripada tekstu; te da je Gospod dao ispravno razumijevanje o tome onima koji su objavljivali vijest o času suda. Kad je postojalo jedinstvo, prije 1844., gotovo su svi bili ujedinjeni u ispravnom razumijevanju ‘Svakidašnje’; ali od 1844., u pomutnji, prihvaćena su druga gledišta, a uslijedili su tama i pomutnja.” Review and Herald, 1. studenoga 1850.

This passage was originally in the publication titled The Present Truth from 1849, but it was printed in the Review and Herald in November, 1850. In the original manuscript Sister White directly states that she is writing out several things which the Lord had recently shown her, and as you read the entire article you will see many subjects addressed. There are about twenty various subjects that she was shown. The point is that in the original article the subject of “the daily,” and the subject of “time setting” were two different revelations of things she was shown.

Ovaj je odlomak izvorno bio u publikaciji pod naslovom The Present Truth iz 1849., ali je tiskan u Review and Herald u studenome 1850. U izvornom rukopisu sestra White izravno navodi da zapisuje nekoliko stvari koje joj je Gospodin nedavno pokazao, a dok budete čitali cijeli članak vidjet ćete da se obrađuju mnoge teme. Bilo joj je pokazano oko dvadeset različitih tema. Poanta je u tome da su u izvornom članku tema „svagdašnje“ i tema „određivanja vremena“ bile dva različita otkrivenja onoga što joj je bilo pokazano.

In the original manuscript they were identified in different paragraphs. When the passage was reprinted in Experience and Views the editors combined the paragraph where Sister White upholds the pioneer view of “the daily,” with the following paragraph that warns against time setting. As you read the original, take note that emphasis is placed upon some subjects through Capitalization. In the paragraph where she endorses the pioneer view of “the daily,” she Capitalizes the word Daily, and in the next paragraph she Capitalizes the word Time, thus marking a direct distinction between the two subjects she was shown.

U izvornom rukopisu bili su označeni u različitim odlomcima. Kada je taj odlomak ponovno tiskan u Experience and Views, urednici su spojili odlomak u kojem sestra White podupire pionirsko gledište o „svagdašnjoj službi“ s idućim odlomkom koji upozorava protiv određivanja vremena. Dok čitate izvornik, zapazite da je naglasak na nekim temama stavljen uporabom velikih slova. U odlomku u kojem potvrđuje pionirsko gledište o „svagdašnjoj službi“, riječ Daily piše velikim početnim slovom, a u sljedećem odlomku riječ Time također piše velikim početnim slovom, čime jasno označava izravnu razliku između dviju tema koje su joj bile pokazane.

> “Dear Brethren and Sisters,

> „Draga braćo i sestre,״

> “I wish to give you a short sketch of what the Lord has recently shown to me in vision. I was shown the loveliness of Jesus, and the love that the angels have for one another. Said the angel—Can ye not behold their love?—follow it. Just so God’s people must love one another. Rather let blame fall on thyself than on a brother. I saw that the message ‘sell that ye have and give alms’ had not been given, by some, in its clear light; that the true object of the words of our Saviour had not been clearly presented. I saw that the object of selling was not to give to those who are able to labor and support themselves; but to spread the truth. It is a sin to support and indulge those who are able to labor, in idleness. Some have been zealous to attend all the meetings; not to glorify God, but for the ‘loaves and fishes.’ Such had much better been at home laboring with their hands, ‘the thing that is good,’ to supply the wants of their families, and to have something to give to sustain the precious cause of present truth.

> „Želim vam dati kratak prikaz onoga što mi je Gospodin nedavno pokazao u viđenju. Pokazana mi je ljupkost Isusa i ljubav koju anđeli imaju jedni prema drugima. Reče anđeo — Ne možete li gledati njihovu ljubav? — slijedite je. Upravo tako i Božji narod mora ljubiti jedan drugoga. Neka radije krivnja padne na tebe nego na brata. Vidjela sam da poruka: ‘prodajte što imate i dajte milostinju’ od nekih nije bila dana u svojoj jasnoj svjetlosti; da pravi cilj riječi našega Spasitelja nije bio jasno iznesen. Vidjela sam da cilj prodavanja nije bio da se daje onima koji su sposobni raditi i uzdržavati se; nego da se širi istina. Grijeh je uzdržavati i povlađivati u besposlenosti onima koji su sposobni raditi. Neki su revno nastojali prisustvovati svim sastancima; ne da proslave Boga, nego zbog ‘kruhova i riba’. Takvima bi bilo mnogo bolje da su kod kuće radeći svojim rukama ‘ono što je dobro’, da zadovolje potrebe svojih obitelji i da imaju što dati za podupiranje dragocjene stvari sadašnje istine.

> “Some, I saw, had erred in praying for the sick to be healed before unbelievers. If any among us are sick, and call for the elders of the church to pray over them, according to James 5:14, 15, we should follow the example of Jesus. He put unbelievers out of the room, then healed the sick; so we should seek to be separated from the unbelief of those who have not faith, when we pray for the sick among us.

> „Vidjela sam da su neki pogriješili moleći da bolesni budu iscijeljeni pred nevjernicima. Ako je tko među nama bolestan i pozove starješine crkve da se mole nad njim, prema Jakovu 5,14.15, trebamo slijediti Isusov primjer. On je nevjernike izveo iz prostorije, a zatim iscijelio bolesnoga; tako i mi, kada se molimo za bolesne među nama, trebamo nastojati odvojiti se od nevjere onih koji nemaju vjere.”

> “Then I was pointed back to the time that Jesus took his disciples away alone, into an upper room, and first washed their feet, and then gave them to eat of the broken bread, to represent his broken body, and juice of the vine to represent his spilled blood. I saw that all should move understandingly, and follow the example of Jesus in these things, and when attending to these ordinances, should be as separate from unbelievers as possible.

> „Tada mi je pozornost ponovno bila usmjerena na vrijeme kada je Isus poveo svoje učenike nasamo u gornju sobu, te im najprije oprao noge, a zatim im dao da jedu od razlomljenoga kruha, koji je predstavljao njegovo slomljeno tijelo, i soka od loze, koji je predstavljao njegovu prolivenu krv. Vidjela sam da svi trebaju postupati s razumijevanjem i slijediti Isusov primjer u ovim stvarima te, kada pristupaju tim uredbama, trebaju biti što je moguće odvojeniji od nevjernika.״

> “Then I was shown that the seven last plagues will be poured out, after Jesus leaves the Sanctuary. Said the angel—It is the wrath of God and the Lamb that causes the destruction or death of the wicked. At the voice of God the saints will be mighty and terrible as an army with banners; but they will not then execute the judgment written. The execution of the judgment will be at the close of the 1000 years.

> „Tada mi je bilo pokazano da će se sedam posljednjih zala izliti nakon što Isus napusti Svetište. Anđeo reče: To je gnjev Boga i Jaganjca koji uzrokuje uništenje ili smrt bezbožnih. Na glas Božji sveti će biti silni i strašni kao vojska s barjacima; ali oni tada neće izvršiti napisani sud. Izvršenje suda bit će na kraju 1000 godina.“

> “After the saints are changed to immortality, and are caught up together, and receive their harps, crowns, &c., and enter the Holy City, Jesus and the saints set in judgment. The books are opened, the book of life and the book of death; the book of life contains the good deeds of the saints, and the book of death contains the evil deeds of the wicked. These books were compared with the Statute book, the Bible, and according to that they were judged. The saints in unison with Jesus pass their judgment upon the wicked dead. Behold ye! said the angel, the saints sit in judgment, in unison with Jesus, and mete out to each of the wicked, according to the deeds done in the body, and it is set off against their names what they must receive, at the execution of the judgment. This, I saw, was the work of the saints with Jesus, in the Holy City before it descends to the earth, through the 1000 years. Then at the close of the 1000 years, Jesus, and the angels, and all the saints with him, leaves the Holy City, and while he is descending to the earth with them, the wicked dead are raised, and then the very men that ‘pierced him,’ being raised, will see him afar off in all his glory, the angels and saints with him, and will wail because of him. They will see the prints of the nails in his hands, and in his feet, and where they thrust the spear into his side. The prints of the nails and the spear will then be his glory. It is at the close of the 1000 years that Jesus stands upon the Mount of Olives, and the Mount parts asunder, and it becomes a mighty plain, and those who flee at that time are the wicked, that have just been raised. Then the Holy City comes down and settles on the plain.

> „Nakon što sveti budu preobraženi u besmrtnost, i budu zajedno uzneseni, i prime svoje harfe, krune itd., te uđu u Sveti Grad, Isus i sveti sjedaju na sud. Knjige se otvaraju, knjiga života i knjiga smrti; knjiga života sadrži dobra djela svetih, a knjiga smrti sadrži zla djela opakih. Te su knjige uspoređene sa Zakonikom, Biblijom, i prema tome su im izrečene presude. Sveti, u suglasju s Isusom, izriču svoj sud nad mrtvim opakima. Gle! reče anđeo, sveti sjede na sudu, u suglasju s Isusom, i odmjeravaju svakome od opakih prema djelima učinjenima u tijelu, i uz njihova se imena bilježi što moraju primiti pri izvršenju presude. To je, vidjela sam, bilo djelo svetih s Isusom u Svetome Gradu prije nego što siđe na zemlju, tijekom 1000 godina. Potom, na svršetku 1000 godina, Isus, i anđeli, i svi sveti s njime, napuštaju Sveti Grad, i dok on s njima silazi na zemlju, mrtvi opaki uskrsavaju, i tada će upravo oni ljudi koji su ga ‘proboli’, uskrsnuvši, vidjeti ga izdaleka u svoj njegovoj slavi, s anđelima i svetima uz njega, i naricat će zbog njega. Vidjet će tragove čavala na njegovim rukama i na njegovim nogama, i gdje su mu kopljem proboli bok. Tragovi čavala i koplja tada će biti njegova slava. Na svršetku 1000 godina Isus staje na Maslinsku goru, i gora se razdvaja, i postaje silna ravnica, a oni koji tada bježe jesu opaki koji su upravo uskrsnuli. Tada Sveti Grad silazi i spušta se na ravnicu.“

> “Then Satan imbues the wicked, that have been raised, with his spirit. He flatters them that the army in the City is small, and that his army is large, and that they can overcome the saints and take the City. While Satan was rallying his army, the saints were in the City, beholding the beauty and glory of the Paradise of God. Jesus was at their head, leading them. All at once the lovely Saviour was gone from our company; but soon we heard his lovely voice, saying, ‘Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’ We gathered about Jesus, and just as he closed the gates of the City, the curse was pronounced upon the wicked. The gates were shut. Then the saints used their wings and mounted to the top of the wall of the City. Jesus was also with them; his crown looked brilliant and glorious. It was a crown within a crown, seven in number. The crowns of the saints were of the most pure gold, decked with stars. Their faces shone with glory, for they were in the express image of Jesus; and as they arose, and moved all together to the top of the City, I was enraptured with the sight.

> „Tada Sotona ispuni uskrsle zle svojim duhom. Laska im da je vojska u Gradu malena, a da je njegova vojska velika, te da mogu nadvladati svete i zauzeti Grad. Dok je Sotona okupljao svoju vojsku, sveti su bili u Gradu, promatrajući ljepotu i slavu Božjega Raja. Isus je bio na njihovu čelu i vodio ih. Odjednom je ljubljeni Spasitelj nestao iz našega društva; ali uskoro smo čuli njegov ljubljeni glas kako govori: ‘Dođite, blagoslovljeni Oca mojega, baštinite kraljevstvo pripravljeno za vas od postanka svijeta.’ Okupili smo se oko Isusa, i upravo kad je on zatvorio vrata Grada, izrečeno je prokletstvo nad zlima. Vrata su bila zatvorena. Tada su sveti upotrijebili svoja krila i uzdigli se na vrh gradskih zidina. Isus je također bio s njima; njegova je kruna izgledala sjajno i slavno. Bila je to kruna unutar krune, sedmerostruka. Krune svetih bile su od najčišćega zlata, urešene zvijezdama. Njihova su lica sjala slavom, jer su bili u savršenoj slici Isusovoj; i dok su se uzdizali i svi zajedno kretali prema vrhu Grada, prizor me zanio.“

> “Then the wicked saw what they had lost; and fire was breathed from God upon them, and consumed them. This was the Execution of the Judgment. The wicked then received according as the saints in unison with Jesus had meted out to them during the 1000 years. The same fire from God that consumed the wicked, purified the whole earth. The broken ragged mountains melted with fervent heat, the atmosphere, also, and all the stubble was consumed. Then our inheritance opened before us, glorious and beautiful, and we inherited the whole earth made new. We all shouted with a loud voice, Glory, Alleluia.

> „Tada su opaki vidjeli što su izgubili; i oganj je od Boga dahnut na njih te ih je proždro. To je bilo izvršenje suda. Opaki su tada primili prema onome kako su im sveti, u jedinstvu s Isusom, odmjerili tijekom 1000 godina. Isti oganj od Boga koji je proždro opake očistio je cijelu zemlju. Razvaljene, krševite planine rastopile su se od silne žege, kao i atmosfera, a sva strnjika bijaše proždrta. Tada se pred nama otvorila naša baština, slavna i prekrasna, i baštinili smo svu zemlju obnovljenu. Svi smo povikali jakim glasom: Slava, Aleluja.”

> “I also saw that the shepherds should consult those in whom they have reason to have confidence, those who have been in all the messages, and are firm in all the present truth, before they advocate any new point of importance, which they may think the Bible sustains. Then the shepherds will be perfectly united, and the union of the shepherds will be felt by the church. Such a course I saw would prevent unhappy divisions, and then there would be no danger of the precious flock being divided, and the sheep scattered, without a shepherd.

> „Vidjela sam također da bi pastiri trebali tražiti savjet od onih u koje s razlogom mogu imati povjerenja, od onih koji su bili u svim porukama i koji su čvrsti u svoj sadašnjoj istini, prije nego što zastupaju bilo koju novu važnu točku za koju mogu smatrati da je Biblija podupire. Tada će pastiri biti savršeno ujedinjeni, a crkva će osjetiti jedinstvo pastira. Vidjela sam da bi takav postupak spriječio nesretne podjele, te tada ne bi bilo opasnosti da dragocjeno stado bude podijeljeno, a ovce raspršene, bez pastira.“

> “September 23d, the Lord showed me that he had stretched out his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people, and that efforts must be redoubled in this gathering time. In the scattering time Israel was smitten and torn; but now in the gathering time God will heal and bind up his people. In the scattering, efforts made to spread the truth had but little effect, accomplished but little or nothing; but in the gathering when God has set his hand to gather his people, efforts to spread the truth will have their designed effect. All should be united and zealous in the work. I saw that it was a shame for any to refer to the scattering for examples to govern us now in the gathering; for if God does no more for us now than he did then, Israel would never be gathered. It is as necessary that the truth should be published in a paper, as preached.

> „Dana 23. rujna Gospod mi je pokazao da je po drugi put ispružio svoju ruku da povrati ostatak svoga naroda te da se napori moraju udvostručiti u ovo vrijeme sabiranja. U vrijeme rasijanja Izrael je bio udaren i razderan; ali sada, u vrijeme sabiranja, Bog će iscijeliti i poviti svoj narod. U rasijanju su napori uloženi da se istina proširi imali tek malen učinak, postigli su malo ili ništa; no u sabiranju, kada je Bog stavio svoju ruku da sabere svoj narod, napori da se istina proširi imat će svoj namjeravani učinak. Svi trebaju biti sjedinjeni i revni u djelu. Vidjela sam da je sramota da se itko poziva na rasijanje kao na primjer kojim bismo se sada upravljali u sabiranju; jer ako Bog sada za nas ne učini više nego što je učinio tada, Izrael nikada ne bi bio sabran. Jednako je nužno da istina bude objavljena u tiskovini kao i propovijedana.“

> “The Lord showed me that the 1843 chart was directed by his hand, and that no part of it should be altered; that the figures were as he wanted them. That his hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until his hand was removed.

> „Gospodin mi je pokazao da je karta iz 1843. bila vođena njegovom rukom i da se nijedan njezin dio ne smije mijenjati; da su brojke bile onakve kakve je on htio. Da je njegova ruka bila nad njom i prikrila pogrešku u nekim brojkama, tako da je nitko nije mogao vidjeti sve dok njegova ruka nije bila uklonjena.״

> “Then I saw in relation to the “Daily,” that the word “sacrifice” was supplied by man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text; and that the Lord gave the correct view of it to those who gave the judgment hour cry. When union existed, before 1844, nearly all were united on the correct view of the ‘Daily;’ but since 1844, in the confusion, other views have been embraced, and darkness and confusion has followed.

> „Tada sam, u vezi sa ‘Svagdašnjom’, vidjela da je riječ ‘žrtva’ dodana ljudskom mudrošću te da ne pripada tekstu; i da je Gospod dao ispravno razumijevanje toga onima koji su objavljivali vijest o času suda. Dok je vladalo jedinstvo, prije 1844., gotovo su svi bili ujedinjeni u ispravnom razumijevanju ‘Svagdašnje’; ali od 1844., u pomutnji, prihvaćena su druga gledišta, te su uslijedili tama i zbrka.“

> “The Lord showed me that Time had not been a test since 1844, and that time will never again be a test.

> „Gospodin mi je pokazao da Vrijeme nije bilo kušnja od 1844. godine i da vrijeme više nikada neće biti kušnja.“

> “Then I was pointed to some who are in the great error, that the saints are yet to go to Old Jerusalem, &c., before the Lord comes. Such a view is calculated to take the mind and interest from the present work of God, under the message of the third angel; for if we are to go to Jerusalem, then our minds will naturally be there, and our means will be withheld from other uses, to get the saints to Jerusalem. I saw that the reason why they were left to go into this great error, is because they have not confessed and forsaken their errors, that they have been in for a number of years past.” Review and Herald, November 1, 1850.

> „Tada mi je pozornost bila usmjerena na neke koji su u velikoj zabludi, da sveti još trebaju otići u stari Jeruzalem itd. prije nego Gospodin dođe. Takvo je gledište prikladno da odvrati um i zanimanje od sadašnjega Božjeg djela, pod porukom trećega anđela; jer ako trebamo ići u Jeruzalem, tada će naše misli prirodno biti ondje, a naša će sredstva biti uskraćena drugim potrebama, kako bi se svete dovelo u Jeruzalem. Vidjela sam da je razlog zašto im je bilo dopušteno da zapadnu u tu veliku zabludu taj što nisu priznali i napustili svoje zablude, u kojima su bili tijekom niza proteklih godina.” Review and Herald, 1. studenoga 1850.

The passage begins by stating, “I wish to give you a short sketch of what the Lord has recently shown to me in vision.” There were several subjects presented, and she did not combine the paragraph addressing “the daily,” with the next paragraph. That was done later by editors who placed the passage in Experience and Views, and thereafter in Early Writings. In Experience and Views, the editors left off the first eight paragraphs, and combined the paragraphs addressing what she was shown of “the daily” and of time setting. Experience and Views was published in 1851, and then Early Writings was published in 1882.

Odlomak započinje riječima: „Želim vam dati kratak prikaz onoga što mi je Gospodin nedavno pokazao u viđenju.” Izneseno je bilo nekoliko tema, i ona nije spojila odlomak koji se bavi „svagdašnjom službom” sa sljedećim odlomkom. To su poslije učinili urednici kada su taj odlomak uvrstili u Experience and Views, a potom i u Early Writings. U Experience and Views urednici su izostavili prvih osam odlomaka i spojili odlomke koji govore o onome što joj je bilo pokazano u vezi sa „svagdašnjom službom” i određivanjem vremena. Experience and Views objavljen je 1851., a zatim je Early Writings objavljen 1882.

Early Writings was essentially the same four paragraphs that had appeared in Experience and Views, but with one significant exception. In Experience and Views, the one sentence paragraph that addressed time setting was combined with the previous paragraph that addressed “the daily.” Then the paragraph that originally followed the paragraph addressing time setting was included. In Early Writings a paragraph that came from a different passage in Experience and Views, was placed between the paragraph that now addresses both “the daily,” and time setting, which was originally followed by a paragraph identifying why it was wrong to make pilgrimages to old Jerusalem.

Rani spisi bili su u biti ista četiri odlomka koja su se pojavila u Experience and Views, ali s jednom značajnom iznimkom. U Experience and Views, odlomak od jedne rečenice koji se bavio određivanjem vremena bio je spojen s prethodnim odlomkom koji se bavio „svagdašnjom žrtvom”. Zatim je bio uključen odlomak koji je izvorno slijedio nakon odlomka koji se bavio određivanjem vremena. U Early Writings odlomak koji je potjecao iz drugog mjesta u Experience and Views bio je umetnut između odlomka koji se sada bavi i „svagdašnjom žrtvom” i određivanjem vremena, a za kojim je izvorno slijedio odlomak koji objašnjava zašto je bilo pogrešno hodočastiti u stari Jeruzalem.

The paragraph that was removed from a different page of Experience and Views, and then was inserted into the passage of Early Writings, only added to the confusion about “the daily” that had begun since 1844. The paragraph was not in Sister White’s original narrative of her vision.

Odlomak koji je uklonjen s druge stranice knjige Experience and Views, a zatim umetnut u odlomak knjige Early Writings, samo je pridonio zbrci u vezi sa „svagdašnjom“ koja je započela od 1844. godine. Taj odlomak nije bio u izvornom prikazu viđenja sestre White.

> “The Lord has shown me that the message of the third angel must go, and be proclaimed to the scattered children of the Lord, and that it should not be hung on time; for time never will be a test again. I saw that some were getting a false excitement arising from preaching time; that the third angel’s message was stronger than time can be. I saw that this message can stand on its own foundation, and that it needs not time to strengthen it, and that it will go in mighty power, and do its work, and will be cut short in righteousness.” Experience and Views, 48.

> „Gospodin mi je pokazao da poruka trećega anđela mora ići naprijed te biti naviještena raspršenoj Gospodnjoj djeci, i da ne smije biti vezana uz vrijeme; jer vrijeme više nikada neće biti kušnja. Vidjela sam da su neki padali u lažno uzbuđenje koje je proistjecalo iz propovijedanja vremena; da je poruka trećega anđela snažnija nego što vrijeme može biti. Vidjela sam da ta poruka može stajati na vlastitom temelju, da joj nije potrebno vrijeme da je učvrsti, i da će ići u silnoj sili, izvršiti svoje djelo, i biti skraćena u pravednosti.” Experience and Views, 48.

The paragraph from page forty-eight of Experience and Views, was inserted after the paragraph in Early Writings, that had been created by combining two different paragraphs, and it placed an emphasis upon time setting that did not exist in the original narrative.

Odlomak sa četrdeset i osme stranice knjige Experience and Views umetnut je nakon odlomka u knjizi Early Writings, koji je nastao spajanjem dvaju različitih odlomaka, te je time stavljen naglasak na određivanje vremena koji nije postojao u izvornom prikazu.

In 1931, the ancient men that ruled the people of Jerusalem invented a story which claimed Daniells had interviewed Sister White in 1910, and in the testimony that Daniells provided he refers to the 1843 chart, and says he pointed to the non-existent sanctuary on the chart, as he interviewed Sister White. He supposedly had the book Early Writings with him, and as he asked her about what she meant, and based upon her responses he could only conclude that the passage endorsing the pioneer view of “the daily,” in Early Writings, was actually a warning against time setting. Twenty-one years after the invented interview and sixteen years after the death of the persons supposedly interviewed, Daniells places the testimony into the history of the third generation.

Godine 1931. drevni ljudi koji su vladali narodom Jeruzalema izmislili su priču koja je tvrdila da je Daniells 1910. razgovarao sa sestrom White, a u svjedočanstvu koje Daniells daje on se poziva na kartu iz 1843. i kaže da je, dok je razgovarao sa sestrom White, pokazao na nepostojeće svetište na toj karti. Navodno je sa sobom imao knjigu Early Writings te je, dok ju je pitao što je time mislila, i na temelju njezinih odgovora mogao jedino zaključiti da je odlomak u knjizi Early Writings koji podupire pionirsko gledište o „svagdašnjoj žrtvi“ zapravo upozorenje protiv određivanja vremena. Dvadeset i jednu godinu nakon izmišljenog razgovora i šesnaest godina nakon smrti osoba s kojima se navodno razgovaralo, Daniells smješta to svjedočanstvo u povijest trećega naraštaja.

F. C. Gilbert was a Hebrew scholar and he did not simply support the correct view of the “daily” as Paganism because the pioneers and Ellen White said it was so. He defended it based upon an understanding of the Hebrew text that Daniel the prophet had employed. He was the prominent Adventist Hebrew scholar during the time period. As the controversy about “the daily” that Daniells and Prescott were pushing continued to grow, Gilbert was one of the prominent scholars who stood in defense of the pioneer position. He had an interview with Ellen White on June 8, 1910, and he later recorded what he and Sister White discussed. Daniells’ testimony is completely contrary to F. C. Gilbert’s.

F. C. Gilbert bio je hebrejski stručnjak i nije jednostavno podupirao ispravno gledište o „svagdašnjoj“ kao o poganstvu zato što su pioniri i Ellen White rekli da je tako. Branio ga je na temelju razumijevanja hebrejskog teksta kojim se služio prorok Daniel. U to je vrijeme bio istaknuti adventistički hebrejski stručnjak. Kako je rasla kontroverza o „svagdašnjoj“, koju su promicali Daniells i Prescott, Gilbert je bio jedan od istaknutih učenjaka koji su stajali u obrani pionirskog stajališta. Imao je razgovor s Ellen White 8. lipnja 1910., a poslije je zabilježio ono o čemu su on i sestra White razgovarali. Daniellsovo svjedočanstvo u potpunoj je suprotnosti sa svjedočanstvom F. C. Gilberta.

In volume twenty, pages seventeen through twenty-two, of Manuscript Releases, Sister White’s addresses Daniells’ and Prescott’s position on the “daily”. The phrases that you find in F. C. Gilbert’s report of his interview with Ellen White are almost identical to what Sister White herself stated in the passage from Manuscript Releases. So, for many years before Manuscript Releases were published and released, there was no concrete inspired testimony to refute or uphold Daniells’ claim about the content of the interview he supposedly had with Sister White. More importantly, there was no inspired endorsement for his flawed view of the “daily”. Even more importantly, now that Manuscript Releases are available—there still isn’t an inspired endorsement for his flawed view of “the daily!”

U dvadesetom svesku Manuscript Releases, na stranicama sedamnaest do dvadeset i dvije, sestra White govori o stajalištu Danielsa i Prescotta o „svagdanjoj”. Izrazi koje nalazite u izvješću F. C. Gilberta o njegovu razgovoru s Ellen White gotovo su istovjetni onome što je sama sestra White izjavila u odlomku iz Manuscript Releases. Stoga, tijekom mnogih godina prije nego što su Manuscript Releases bili objavljeni i izdani, nije postojalo nikakvo konkretno nadahnuto svjedočanstvo koje bi pobilo ili poduprlo Danielsovu tvrdnju o sadržaju razgovora koji je on navodno imao sa sestrom White. Što je još važnije, nije postojala nikakva nadahnuta potvrda njegova pogrešnoga gledišta o „svagdanjoj”. Još važnije, sada kada su Manuscript Releases dostupni — još uvijek ne postoji nikakva nadahnuta potvrda njegova pogrešnoga gledišta o „svagdanjoj”!

And yet today, Laodicean Adventism is taught that Sister White has no position on the “daily”, except that it is not a “test question” and we should “keep quiet on this subject”. Something is reversed today, and what is reversed is that the true position of “the daily” is now in the minority opinion among God’s people. In 1910, the minority view was Conradi’s view that was being pushed by Daniells and Prescott, and the majority view was the pioneer position.

Pa ipak, danas se laodicejski adventizam poučava da sestra White nema nikakvo stajalište o „svagdašnjoj“, osim da to nije „ispitno pitanje“ i da bismo trebali „šutjeti o toj temi“. Danas je nešto obrnuto, a ono što je obrnuto jest to da je istinsko stajalište o „svagdašnjoj“ sada manjinsko mišljenje među Božjim narodom. Godine 1910. manjinsko je gledište bilo Conradijevo gledište, koje su promicali Daniells i Prescott, a većinsko je gledište bilo stajalište pionira.

The following is F. C. Gilbert’s statement about his interview with Sister White, that should be compared with Manuscript Releases, that has been placed in its entirety, in the eighty-first article of this The Book of Daniel series.

Slijedi izjava F. C. Gilberta o njegovu razgovoru sa sestrom White, koju treba usporediti s Manuscript Releases, a koja je u cijelosti uvrštena u osamdeset i prvi članak ove serije The Book of Daniel.

> “Daniells and Prescott . . . would not give the older brethren in the cause any chance to say anything. . . . Daniells was here to see me, and I would not see him. . . . I would not have anything to say to him about anything. About the ‘daily’ that they are trying to work up, there is nothing to it. . . . When I was in Washington there seemed to be something that just encased their minds, and I could not seem to touch them. We are to have nothing to do with this subject of the ‘daily’ . . . I knew they would work against my message, and then the people would not think there was anything to my message. I have written to him and told him that he was showing himself not fit to be president of the General Conference. . . . not the man to keep the Presidency.

> „Daniells i Prescott... ne bi dali starijoj braći u djelu nikakvu priliku da bilo što kažu.... Daniells je bio ovdje da me vidi, a ja ga nisam htjela vidjeti.... Nisam htjela s njim ni o čemu razgovarati. Što se tiče ‘svagdašnje’ koju oni nastoje podići, u tome nema ničega.... Kad sam bila u Washingtonu, činilo se kao da je nešto upravo obavilo njihove umove, i kao da ih nisam mogla dosegnuti. Mi ne trebamo imati nikakva posla s tim predmetom ‘svagdašnje’... Znala sam da će raditi protiv moje poruke, i tada narod ne bi mislio da u mojoj poruci ima ičega. Pisala sam mu i rekla da se pokazuje neprikladnim da bude predsjednik Generalne konferencije.... nije čovjek koji bi trebao zadržati predsjedništvo.״

> “If this message of the ‘daily’ were a testing message the Lord would have shown me. These people do not see the end from the beginning in this thing. . . .I utterly refuse to see any of them who are engaged in this work.

> „Kad bi ova poruka o ‘svagdanjoj’ bila kušnja poruka, Gospodin bi mi to pokazao. Ti ljudi ne vide svršetak od početka u ovoj stvari....U potpunosti odbijam vidjeti ijednoga od njih koji su uključeni u ovo djelo.“

> “The light that was given me of God is that Brother Daniells has stood in the Presidency long enough. . . . and I was told not to have any more conversation with him about any of these things. I would not see Daniells about the matter, and I would not have one word with him. They pled with me to give him an interview, but I would not. . . . I was told to warn our people not to have anything to do with this thing they are teaching. . . . I was forbidden of the Lord to listen to it. I have expressed myself as not having a particle of confidence in it. . . . This whole thing they are doing is a scheme of the devil.” F. C. Gilbert’s report of an interview given him by Ellen White on June 8, 1910.

> „Svjetlo koje mi je Bog dao jest da je brat Daniells dovoljno dugo stajao na mjestu predsjednika.... i bilo mi je rečeno da više ne vodim nikakav razgovor s njim ni o jednoj od tih stvari. Ne bih se sastala s Daniellsom u vezi s tom stvari, i ne bih s njim progovorila ni jednu riječ. Molili su me da mu dam razgovor, ali nisam htjela.... Rečeno mi je da upozorim naš narod da nema nikakva posla s tom stvari koju oni naučavaju.... Gospodin mi je zabranio da to slušam. Izjasnila sam se da u to nemam ni trunka povjerenja.... Sve to što oni čine đavolska je smicalica.” Izvještaj F. C. Gilberta o razgovoru koji mu je Ellen White dala 8. lipnja 1910.

We will continue this subject in the next article.

Ovu ćemo temu nastaviti u sljedećem članku.

> “One who sees beneath the surface, who reads the hearts of all men, says of those who have had great light: ‘They are not afflicted and astonished because of their moral and spiritual condition.’ ‘Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before Mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.’ ‘God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie,’ because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ ‘but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’ Isaiah 66:3, 4; 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 10, 12.

> „Onaj koji vidi ispod površine, koji čita srca svih ljudi, kaže o onima koji su imali veliku svjetlost: ‘Ne muče se niti se zgražaju zbog svojega moralnog i duhovnog stanja.’ ‘Da, izabraše svoje vlastite putove, i duša njihova uživa u svojim gadostima. I ja ću izabrati njihove zablude i pustit ću na njih ono čega se boje; jer kad sam zvao, nitko se nije odazvao; kad sam govorio, nisu slušali; nego su činili zlo pred Mojim očima i izabrali ono u čemu Mi nije bilo milo.’ ‘Bog će im poslati silnu zabludu da povjeruju laži,’ jer nisu primili ljubav prema istini da bi se spasili,’ ‘nego su uživali u nepravdi.’ Izaija 66:3, 4; 2. Solunjanima 2:11, 10, 12.

> “The heavenly Teacher inquired: ‘What stronger delusion can beguile the mind than the pretense that you are building on the right foundation and that God accepts your works, when in reality you are working out many things according to worldly policy and are sinning against Jehovah? Oh, it is a great deception, a fascinating delusion, that takes possession of minds when men who have once known the truth, mistake the form of godliness for the spirit and power thereof; when they suppose that they are rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing, while in reality they are in need of everything.’

> „Nebeski Učitelj upitao je: ‘Koja bi jača obmana mogla zavesti um od pretvaranja da gradite na pravome temelju i da Bog prihvaća vaša djela, dok u stvarnosti mnoge stvari provodite prema svjetovnoj politici i griješite protiv Jehove? O, to je velika prijevara, očaravajuća obmana, koja zavladava umovima kada ljudi koji su nekoć upoznali istinu zamijene oblik pobožnosti za njezin duh i silu; kada misle da su bogati, da su se obogatili i da im ništa ne treba, dok im je u stvarnosti potrebno sve.’”

> “God has not changed toward His faithful servants who are keeping their garments spotless. But many are crying, ‘Peace and safety,’ while sudden destruction is coming upon them. Unless there is thorough repentance, unless men humble their hearts by confession and receive the truth as it is in Jesus, they will never enter heaven. When purification shall take place in our ranks, we shall no longer rest at ease, boasting of being rich and increased with goods, in need of nothing.

> „Bog se nije promijenio prema svojim vjernim slugama koji čuvaju svoje haljine neokaljanima. Ali mnogi viču: ‘Mir i sigurnost’, dok na njih dolazi iznenadna propast. Ako ne bude temeljita pokajanja, ako ljudi ne ponize svoja srca priznanjem i ne prime istinu kakva je u Isusu, nikada neće ući u nebo. Kada se u našim redovima izvrši očišćenje, više nećemo spokojno počivati, hvaleći se da smo bogati i obogaćeni dobrima, te da nam ništa nije potrebno.״

> “Who can truthfully say: ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our Instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: ‘Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? “How is the faithful city become an harlot!” My Father’s house is made a house of merchandise, a place whence the divine presence and glory have departed! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.’

> „Tko može istinito reći: ‘Naše je zlato okušano u ognju; naše su haljine neokaljane od svijeta’? Vidjela sam kako naš Učitelj pokazuje na haljine takozvane pravednosti. Svrgnuvši ih, razotkrio je nečistoću ispod njih. Tada mi je rekao: ‘Zar ne vidiš kako su oholo prikrili svoju nečistoću i trulež karaktera? „Kako je vjerni grad postao bludnica!“ Dom moga Oca pretvoren je u kuću trgovine, mjesto iz kojega su božanska prisutnost i slava odstupile! Zbog toga vlada slabost i nema snage.’”

> “Unless the church, which is now being leavened with her own backsliding, shall repent and be converted, she will eat of the fruit of her own doing, until she shall abhor herself. When she resists the evil and chooses the good, when she seeks God with all humility and reaches her high calling in Christ, standing on the platform of eternal truth and by faith laying hold upon the attainments prepared for her, she will be healed. She will appear in her God-given simplicity and purity, separate from earthly entanglements, showing that the truth has made her free indeed. Then her members will indeed be the chosen of God, His representatives.” Testimonies, volume 8, 249, 250.

> „Ako se crkva, koja se sada ukvasuje vlastitim otpadom, ne pokaje i ne obrati, jest će plod svojih vlastitih djela, dok se sama sebi ne ogadi. Kad se odupre zlu i izabere dobro, kad bude tražila Boga sa svom poniznošću i dostigne svoj uzvišeni poziv u Kristu, stojeći na temelju vječne istine i vjerom se hvatajući za dostignuća pripravljena za nju, bit će iscijeljena. Pojavit će se u svojoj od Boga danoj jednostavnosti i čistoći, odvojena od zemaljskih zapletenosti, pokazujući da ju je istina doista oslobodila. Tada će njezini članovi doista biti Božji izabrani, Njegovi predstavnici.” Testimonies, volume 8, 249, 250.
