In 1856 the light of the “seven times” was unsealed and by 1863 that light was rejected. The prophet from Judah brought the light to wicked king Jeroboam, and Jeroboam rejected the light. Isaiah brought the same light to wicked king Ahaz, and he also rejected the light. For refusing the light associated with the pool of Shiloah, the kingdoms of both Jeroboam (the northern) and Ahaz (the southern) were taken into slavery by a king from the north in 723 BC, and 677 BC respectively.

Godine 1856. svjetlo o „sedam vremena” bilo je otpečaćeno, a do 1863. to je svjetlo bilo odbačeno. Prorok iz Jude donio je to svjetlo opakom kralju Jeroboamu, a Jeroboam je odbacio to svjetlo. Izaija je donio isto svjetlo opakom kralju Ahazu, i on ga je također odbacio. Zbog odbijanja svjetla povezanog sa Siloamskim jezerom, kraljevstva i Jeroboamovo (sjeverno) i Ahazovo (južno) odvedena su u ropstvo od kralja sa sjevera, 723. pr. Kr., odnosno 677. pr. Kr.

Moses, in Aaron’s rebellion; Isaiah with Ahaz and Jeremiah with other kings, represented the faithful of Millerite history who were all representing the messengers of light in the last-day rebellion. The “first” last-day crisis of 1863, and the “last” last-day crisis of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven (the soon-coming Sunday law), are represented by all these prophetic lines. The prophet from Judah represents a prophet that backslid from his responsibility, and ends up buried in the same grave as apostate Protestantism. His death and his burial were in response to his choosing to eat and drink the diet of the lying prophet of Bethel.

Mojsije, u Aronovoj pobuni; Izaija s Ahazom i Jeremija s drugim kraljevima, predstavljali su vjerne iz mileritske povijesti, koji su svi predstavljali vjesnike svjetla u pobuni posljednjih dana. „Prva” kriza posljednjih dana iz 1863. godine, i „posljednja” kriza posljednjih dana, „veliki potres” iz jedanaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja (uskoro dolazeći nedjeljni zakon), prikazane su u svim tim proročkim linijama. Prorok iz Jude predstavlja proroka koji je otpao od svoje odgovornosti te na kraju biva pokopan u istome grobu s otpadničkim protestantizmom. Njegova smrt i njegov pokop bili su odgovor na njegov izbor da jede i pije prehranu lažljivoga proroka iz Betela.

The judgment of being overcome by the papacy (the king of Assyria) at the Sunday law, that was typified by the scattering of the northern and southern kingdoms of Jeroboam and Ahaz, aligns with the fate of the Judean prophet, for he died between a “lion” and an “ass.” The “lion” is the symbol of Babylon which in the last days is the papacy.

Sud nadvladavanja od strane papinstva (kralja Asirije) pri nedjeljnom zakonu, koji je bio predočen raspršenjem sjevernoga i južnoga kraljevstva Jeroboama i Ahaza, podudara se sa sudbinom judejskoga proroka, jer je umro između „lava” i „magarca”. „Lav” je simbol Babilona, koji je u posljednjim danima papinstvo.

> And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase. And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake unto him. And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him. And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass. And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him. And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones: For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 1 Kings 13:11–32.

> I dogodi se, pošto je jeo kruha i pošto je pio, da mu osedla magarca, to jest proroku kojega bijaše vratio. A kad je otišao, susrete ga lav na putu i usmrti ga; i njegovo mrtvo tijelo bijaše bačeno na put, a magarac stajaše pokraj njega, i lav također stajaše pokraj mrtvoga tijela. I gle, ljudi prolaziše te vidješe mrtvo tijelo bačeno na putu i lava gdje stoji pokraj mrtvoga tijela; pa dođoše i javiše to u gradu gdje je prebivao stari prorok. A kad je prorok koji ga bijaše vratio s puta to čuo, reče: To je čovjek Božji koji se oglušio o riječ Gospodnju; zato ga je Gospod predao lavu, koji ga je rastrgao i usmrtio, prema riječi Gospodnjoj koju mu je rekao. I progovori svojim sinovima govoreći: Osedlajte mi magarca. I oni ga osedlaše. I ode te nađe njegovo mrtvo tijelo bačeno na putu, a magarca i lava gdje stoje pokraj mrtvoga tijela; lav nije bio pojeo mrtvo tijelo niti je rastrgao magarca. Tada prorok podiže mrtvo tijelo čovjeka Božjega, položi ga na magarca i donese ga natrag; i stari prorok dođe u grad da ga oplakuje i pokopa. I položi njegovo mrtvo tijelo u vlastiti grob; i naricaše za njim govoreći: Jao, brate moj! I dogodi se, pošto ga je pokopao, da progovori svojim sinovima govoreći: Kad umrem, pokopajte me u grobu u kojem je pokopan čovjek Božji; položite moje kosti pokraj njegovih kostiju: jer će se jamačno ispuniti riječ koju je po riječi Gospodnjoj objavio protiv žrtvenika u Betelu i protiv svih domova uzvišica koji su u gradovima Samarije. 1 Kraljevima 13:11–32.

The Judean prophet died between two symbols. The lion is a symbol of Babylon, and modern Babylon in the last days is the King of the North, who comes to his end with none to help in Daniel chapter eleven, verse forty-five. The mark of his authority is the worship of the sun, which is the fourth abomination, and where the fourth generation of Laodicean Adventism is portrayed as bowing toward the sun in Ezekiel chapter eight. In Miller’s dream he was shown that not only did the jewels get scattered and covered up, but also that the casket itself, which represented the Bible, was also torn apart.

Judejski je prorok umro između dvaju simbola. Lav je simbol Babilona, a suvremeni Babilon u posljednjim danima jest Kralj sjevera, koji dolazi svome svršetku i nitko mu ne pomaže u Danielu, jedanaestom poglavlju, četrdeset i petom retku. Znak njegove vlasti jest štovanje sunca, što je četvrta gadost, i gdje je četvrti naraštaj laodicejskog adventizma prikazan kako se klanja prema suncu u Ezekielu, osmom poglavlju. U Millerovu snu bilo mu je pokazano da se dragulji nisu samo rasuli i bili prekriveni, nego da je i sam kovčežić, koji je predstavljao Bibliju, bio razderan.

In the third generation of Adventism the work of introducing the use of the so-called modern translations of the Bible was promoted by the leadership of Adventism. Those so called modern translations were derived from a corrupted set of manuscripts that are promoted by the theologians of the man of sin, and apostate Protestantism. Miller’s casket was the King James Version that was translated from the uncorrupted manuscripts.

U trećem naraštaju adventizma vodstvo adventizma promicalo je djelo uvođenja uporabe takozvanih modernih prijevoda Biblije. Ti takozvani moderni prijevodi proizašli su iz iskvarenoga skupa rukopisa koje promiču teolozi čovjeka grijeha i otpali protestantizam. Millerov kovčeg bio je King James Version, koji je preveden iz neiskvarenih rukopisa.

By the fourth generation of Laodicean Adventism, the church had joined the World Council of Churches, a confederacy of the Roman church and her daughters. Adventism argued for years, for the benefit of their sleeping flock, that they were simply “observers,” at the World Council of Churches, until the bylaws of the evil confederacy revealed that the status of an “observer,” represents a full voting member!

Do četvrtog naraštaja laodicejskog adventizma, crkva se pridružila Svjetskom vijeću crkava, savezu Rimske crkve i njezinih kćeri. Adventizam je godinama tvrdio, radi svoje uspavane pastve, da su oni u Svjetskom vijeću crkava tek „promatrači“, sve dok statut toga zlog saveza nije razotkrio da status „promatrača“ predstavlja punopravnoga člana s pravom glasa!

In their fourth generation they twice awarded the “man of sin” a gold medal. At least one of the medals was imprinted with the Catholic understanding of the Second Coming of Christ, portraying Jesus placing His foot upon the earth at His return, and it included a Catholic sun-halo behind Christ, and the Catholic abridgment of the fourth commandment, which simply stated, “remember the Sabbath.” In a court proceeding (which is a legal pronouncement), the President of the General Conference gave testimony where he identified that the Seventh-day Adventist church used to believe the papacy was the antichrist, but that his church had long ago assigned that belief “to the historical trash heap.”

U svojem četvrtom naraštaju dvaput su „čovjeku grijeha” dodijelili zlatnu medalju. Najmanje je jedna od tih medalja bila utisnuta katoličkim shvaćanjem Drugoga Kristova dolaska, prikazujući Isusa kako pri svojem povratku stavlja svoju nogu na zemlju; uključivala je i katolički sunčev oreol iza Krista te katoličko skraćeno navođenje četvrte zapovijedi, koje je jednostavno glasilo: „spomeni se subotnjega dana”. U sudskom postupku (što predstavlja pravni iskaz), predsjednik Generalne konferencije dao je svjedočenje u kojem je izjavio da je Crkva adventista sedmoga dana nekoć vjerovala da je papinstvo antikrist, ali da je njegova crkva to vjerovanje već odavno odložila „na povijesno smetlište”.

The fourth abomination (generation) is where the twenty-five leaders of the church of Jerusalem bow to the sun. The progressive abominations began with the image of jealousy that was set up at the entry, marking the beginning. The prophet from Judah ends up buried with apostate Protestantism, and the lion (Babylon) slays him, for he reverted to the methodology of apostate Protestantism, and is therefore unable to recognize that it is Rome that establishes the vision, and where there is no vision established by the symbol of the man of sin, you ultimately end up on the side of the man of sin.

Četvrta gadost (naraštaj) jest ona u kojoj se dvadeset i pet vođa crkve u Jeruzalemu klanja suncu. Progresivne gadosti započele su likom ljubomore koji je bio postavljen na ulazu, označujući početak. Prorok iz Jude završava pokopan s otpaličkim protestantizmom, a lav ga usmrćuje (Babilon), jer se vratio metodologiji otpaličkoga protestantizma te stoga nije u stanju prepoznati da je Rim taj koji uspostavlja viđenje; a ondje gdje nema viđenja uspostavljenoga simbolom čovjeka grijeha, na kraju završavate na strani čovjeka grijeha.

> “Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.

> „Oni koji postanu zbunjeni u svojem razumijevanju Riječi, koji ne uspiju uvidjeti značenje antikrista, zasigurno će se svrstati na stranu antikrista.“ Kress Collection, 105.

The Judean prophet was buried with the lying prophet of Bethel, who identified him as his “brother,” and he was found dead between two symbols. The “lion” represented his failure to understand the antichrist, and the “ass” is a symbol of Islam. Laodicean Adventism has already demonstrated through its silence concerning September 11, 2001, that it does not recognize that the subject of Islam of the third Woe is the Midnight Cry, latter rain message. Failure to recognize the message of the latter rain, is death! The latter rain began on September 11, 2001 when the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descended, when the great buildings of New York City were thrown down. The “rain” is a message, and the message must be recognized to receive it.

Judejski prorok bio je pokopan s lažljivim prorokom iz Betela, koji ga je nazvao svojim „bratom”, te je pronađen mrtav između dvaju simbola. „Lav” je predstavljao njegov propust da razumije antikrista, a „magarac” je simbol islama. Laodicejski adventizam već je svojom šutnjom u vezi s 11. rujna 2001. pokazao da ne prepoznaje kako je predmet islama u trećem Jao ponoćni poklič, poruka kasne kiše. Neuspjeh da se prepozna poruka kasne kiše jest smrt! Kasna kiša započela je 11. rujna 2001., kada je sišao moćni anđeo iz osamnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja, kada su velike zgrade New Yorka bile oborene. „Kiša” je poruka, a poruku je potrebno prepoznati da bi se primila.

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

> „Ne smijemo čekati kasnu kišu. Ona dolazi na sve koji će prepoznati i prisvojiti rosu i pljuskove milosti što padaju na nas. Kad skupimo djeliće svjetla, kad cijenimo pouzdana milosrđa Božja, Onoga koji voli da Mu vjerujemo, tada će se ispuniti svako obećanje. [Citiran Izaija 61,11.] Cijela zemlja treba biti ispunjena slavom Božjom.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.

The “whole earth” knows what happened on September 11, 2001, but in order to receive the message that begins there and ultimately lightens the whole earth with God’s glory, the message must be recognized. The word “recognize,” means “to recollect or recover the knowledge of, either with an avowal of that knowledge or not. We recognize a person at a distance, when we recollect that we have seen him before, or that we have formerly known him. We recognize his features or his voice.” Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.

„Cijela zemlja“ zna što se dogodilo 11. rujna 2001., ali da bi se primila poruka koja ondje započinje i koja na koncu obasjava cijelu zemlju Božjom slavom, ta poruka mora biti prepoznata. Riječ „prepoznati“ znači „prisjetiti se ili ponovno zadobiti znanje o nečemu, bilo uz priznanje toga znanja ili bez njega. Prepoznajemo osobu na udaljenosti kada se prisjetimo da smo je već prije vidjeli ili da smo je nekoć poznavali. Prepoznajemo njezine crte lica ili njezin glas.“ Websterov rječnik iz 1828.

The only way that a Laodicean Adventist can recognize the latter rain message that arrived on September 11, 2001, is if they recognize that they have seen the same manifestation of divine power in the past. On August 11, 1840 the mighty angel of Revelation ten descended, when the prophecy of the second Woe of Islam was fulfilled. That history was perfectly repeated when on September 11, 2001 the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descended when the prophecy of the third Woe of Islam was fulfilled, and the failure to recognize Islam of the third Woe, is to be carried by the wild Arabian ass to the death that is brought about by the lion of modern Babylon.

Jedini način na koji laodicejski adventist može prepoznati poruku kasne kiše koja je stigla 11. rujna 2001. jest da prepozna kako je istu objavu božanske sile vidio i u prošlosti. Dana 11. kolovoza 1840. sišao je moćni anđeo iz Otkrivenja 10, kada se ispunilo proročanstvo o drugom Jao islama. Ta se povijest savršeno ponovila kada je 11. rujna 2001. sišao moćni anđeo iz Otkrivenja 18, kada se ispunilo proročanstvo o trećem Jao islama, a neuspjeh da se prepozna islam trećega Jao znači da će takav biti nošen divljim arapskim magarcem u smrt koju prouzrokuje lav suvremenoga Babilona.

The drunkards of Ephraim, who cannot read the book that is sealed, cannot see the repetition of Millerite history, for that recognition is based upon the latter rain methodology of “line upon line.” The concept that the manifestation of the power of God in Millerite history is repeated in the last days cannot be sustained by the methodology of apostate Protestantism and Catholicism.

Pijanice Efrajimovi, koji ne mogu čitati zapečaćenu knjigu, ne mogu vidjeti ponavljanje mileritske povijesti, jer se to prepoznavanje temelji na metodologiji pozne kiše „red na red“. Koncept da se očitovanje sile Božje u mileritskoj povijesti ponavlja u posljednjim danima ne može se održati metodologijom otpaloga protestantizma i katolicizma.

> “The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel’s message is to lighten the whole earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.” The Great Controversy, 611.

> „Anđeo koji se sjedinjuje u objavljivanju poruke trećega anđela treba obasjati svu zemlju svojom slavom. Ovdje je prorečen rad svjetskih razmjera i neuobičajene snage. Adventni pokret od 1840. do 1844. bio je slavno očitovanje Božje sile; poruka prvoga anđela bila je donesena do svake misijske postaje u svijetu, a u nekim je zemljama postojao najveći vjerski interes kakav je ijedna zemlja vidjela od reformacije šesnaestoga stoljeća; no sve će to biti nadmašeno moćnim pokretom pod posljednjim upozorenjem trećega anđela.” The Great Controversy, 611.

The blind leaders of modern Israel are forced by their methodology to reject the truth that there will be a repetition of the manifestation of the power of God in the last days, as was in former years.

Slijepi vođe suvremenog Izraela prisiljeni su svojom metodologijom odbaciti istinu da će se u posljednjim danima ponoviti očitovanje Božje sile, kao što je bilo u prijašnjim vremenima.

> “Here we see that the church—the Lord’s sanctuary—was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God. The ancient men, those to whom God had given great light and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual interests of the people, had betrayed their trust. They had taken the position that we need not look for miracles and the marked manifestation of God’s power as in former days. Times have changed. These words strengthen their unbelief, and they say: The Lord will not do good, neither will He do evil. He is too merciful to visit His people in judgment. Thus ‘Peace and safety’ is the cry from men who will never again lift up their voice like a trumpet to show God’s people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. These dumb dogs that would not bark are the ones who feel the just vengeance of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little children all perish together.” Testimonies, volume 5, 211.

> „Ovdje vidimo da je crkva — Gospodnje svetište — bila prva koja je osjetila udar Božjega gnjeva. Starješine, oni kojima je Bog dao veliku svjetlost i koji su stajali kao čuvari duhovnih interesa naroda, iznevjerili su svoje povjerenje. Zauzeli su stajalište da ne trebamo očekivati čuda i očitovanje Božje sile kao u prijašnjim danima. Vremena su se promijenila. Te riječi učvršćuju njihovo nevjerovanje, i oni govore: Gospodin neće učiniti dobro, niti će učiniti zlo. On je previše milosrdan da bi pohodio svoj narod sudom. Tako je ‘Mir i sigurnost’ povik ljudi koji više nikada neće podići svoj glas kao trubu da pokažu Božjemu narodu njegove prijestupe i domu Jakovljevu njegove grijehe. Ti nijemi psi koji ne htjedoše lajati upravo su oni koji osjećaju pravednu osvetu uvrijeđenoga Boga. Muškarci, djevojke i mala djeca svi zajedno ginu.” Testimonies, svezak 5, 211.

The Laodicean blindness of the learned men who rule the unlearned of Jerusalem are unable to recognize the latter rain, for not only do they employ a corrupted biblical methodology, but the conclusions their false reasoning puts them in a position where they will deny any future manifestation of the power of God, as in former ages. Yet Malachi three identifies that when the Messenger of the Covenant purifies the sons of Levi, then the offering will be as in days of old.

Laodicejsko sljepilo učenih ljudi koji vladaju neukima Jeruzalema onemogućuje im da prepoznaju poznu kišu, jer ne samo da se služe iskvarenom biblijskom metodologijom, nego ih i zaključci do kojih ih dovodi njihovo lažno rasuđivanje stavljaju u položaj u kojem će poricati svako buduće očitovanje Božje sile, kao u prijašnjim vjekovima. Ipak, Malahija tri pokazuje da će, kada Glasnik Saveza očisti sinove Levijeve, prinos biti kao u davnim danima.

> “The True Witness declares, ‘I know thy works.’ ‘Repent, and do the first works.’ This is the true test, the evidence that the Spirit of God is working in the heart to imbue you with his love. ‘I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.’ The church is like the unproductive tree which, receiving the dew and rain and sunshine, should have produced an abundance of fruit, but on which the divine search discovers nothing but leaves. Solemn thought for our churches! solemn, indeed, for every individual! Marvelous is the patience and forbearance of God; but ‘except thou repent,’ it will be exhausted; the churches, our institutions, will go from weakness to weakness, from cold formality to deadness, while they are saying, ‘I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing.’ The True Witness says, ‘And knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.’ Will they ever see clearly their condition?

> „Vjerni Svjedok izjavljuje: ‘Znam tvoja djela.’ ‘Pokaj se i čini prva djela.’ To je pravi ispit, dokaz da Duh Božji djeluje u srcu kako bi te prožeo svojom ljubavlju. ‘Doći ću k tebi ubrzo i uklonit ću tvoj svijećnjak s njegova mjesta, ako se ne pokaješ.’ Crkva je poput neplodna stabla koje je, primajući rosu, kišu i sunčev sjaj, trebalo donijeti obilje ploda, ali na kojem božansko istraživanje ne nalazi ništa osim lišća. Svečana misao za naše crkve! uistinu svečana za svakoga pojedinca! Čudesna je Božja strpljivost i dugotrpnost; ali ‘ako se ne pokaješ’, ona će se iscrpsti; crkve, naše ustanove, ići će iz slabosti u slabost, iz hladna formalizma u duhovnu mrtvost, dok govore: ‘Bogat sam, i obogatio sam se, i ništa mi ne treba.’ Vjerni Svjedok kaže: ‘A ne znaš da si nesretan, i jadan, i siromašan, i slijep, i gol.’ Hoće li ikada jasno uvidjeti svoje stanje?”

> “There is to be in the churches a wonderful manifestation of the power of God, but it will not move upon those who have not humbled themselves before the Lord, and opened the door of the heart by confession and repentance. In the manifestation of that power which lightens the earth with the glory of God, they will see only something which in their blindness they think dangerous, something which will arouse their fears, and they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord does not work according to their ideas and expectations, they will oppose the work. ‘Why,’ they say, ‘should not we know the Spirit of God, when we have been in the work so many years?’—Because they did not respond to the warnings, the entreaties of the messages of God, but persistently said, ‘I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing.’ Talent, long experience, will not make men channels of light, unless they place themselves under the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, and are called, and chosen, and prepared by the endowment of the Holy Spirit. When men who handle sacred things will humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, the Lord will lift them up. He will make them men of discernment—men rich in the grace of his Spirit. Their strong, selfish traits of character, their stubbornness, will be seen in the light shining from the Light of the world. ‘I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.’ If you seek the Lord with all your heart, he will be found of you.” Review and Herald, December 23, 1890.

> „U crkvama se treba očitovati čudesna objava Božje sile, ali ona neće djelovati na one koji se nisu ponizili pred Gospodinom i otvorili vrata srca priznanjem i pokajanjem. U očitovanju one sile koja obasjava zemlju slavom Božjom oni će vidjeti samo nešto što u svojoj sljepoći smatraju opasnim, nešto što će pobuditi njihove strahove, te će se pripremiti da joj se odupru. Budući da Gospodin ne djeluje prema njihovim zamislima i očekivanjima, oni će se usprotiviti djelu. ‘Zašto’, kažu oni, ‘ne bismo poznavali Duha Božjega, kad smo toliko godina u djelu?’—Zato što nisu odgovorili na opomene, na usrdne pozive iz Božjih poruka, nego su uporno govorili: ‘Bogat sam, obogatio sam se i ništa ne trebam.’ Darovitost i dugo iskustvo neće ljude učiniti kanalima svjetlosti, ako se ne stave pod sjajne zrake Sunca Pravednosti te ne budu pozvani, izabrani i pripravljeni darom Duha Svetoga. Kada se ljudi koji rukuju svetim stvarima ponize pod moćnom rukom Božjom, Gospodin će ih uzvisiti. Učinit će ih ljudima razboritosti — ljudima bogatima milošću njegova Duha. Njihove snažne, sebične crte karaktera, njihova tvrdokornost, bit će viđene u svjetlu koje sja od Svjetla svijeta. ‘Doći ću k tebi uskoro i uklonit ću tvoj svijećnjak s njegova mjesta, ako se ne pokaješ.’ Ako tražite Gospodina svim svojim srcem, dat će vam se naći.” Review and Herald, 23. prosinca 1890.

The Judean prophet’s death is represented by both the “lion” of modern Babylon, which is the prophetic symbol that establishes the vision of prophetic history, and also by the “ass.” The first mention of Islam in the Scriptures is when Ishmael is introduced as a “wild man.”

Smrt judejskog proroka prikazana je i „lavom” suvremenog Babilona, koji je proročki simbol što uspostavlja viđenje proročke povijesti, a također i „magarcem”. Prvi spomen islama u Svetome pismu jest kada je Jišmael predstavljen kao „divlji čovjek”.

> And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:12.

> I on će biti divlji čovjek; ruka će njegova biti protiv svakoga čovjeka, i ruka svakoga čovjeka protiv njega; i on će prebivati pred licem sve svoje braće. Postanak 16,12.

The rule of first mention in the Scriptures identifies that all the characteristics of the symbol be contained therein, for God’s Word is a seed, and a seed possesses all the DNA necessary to bring to fruition the entire plant. The word translated as “wild man,” is the word for the “wild Arabian ass.” The “ass” in the Scriptures of truth is one of the symbols of Islam.

Pravilo prvoga spomena u Svetome pismu utvrđuje da sve značajke simbola moraju biti sadržane u njemu, jer je Božja Riječ sjeme, a sjeme posjeduje sav DNK potreban da dovede do punoga ostvarenja čitavu biljku. Riječ prevedena kao „divlji čovjek” jest riječ za „divljega arapskoga magarca”. „Magarac” je u Pismima istine jedan od simbola islama.

The message of Ezekiel in chapter thirty-seven that brings the dead bones to life where they stand up as a mighty army, is the message of Islam of the third Woe, and that message is the message of the Midnight Cry of the last days. Sister White directly teaches that Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem represented the message of the Midnight Cry.

Poruka Ezekiela u trideset i sedmom poglavlju, koja mrtve kosti oživljuje tako da se podižu kao silna vojska, poruka je islama trećeg Jaoa, a ta je poruka poruka Ponoćnog poklika posljednjih dana. Sestra White izravno uči da je Kristov trijumfalni ulazak u Jeruzalem predstavljao poruku Ponoćnog poklika.

> “The midnight cry was not so much carried by argument, though the Scripture proof was clear and conclusive. There went with it an impelling power that moved the soul. There was no doubt, no questioning. Upon the occasion of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people who were assembled from all parts of the land to keep the feast, flocked to the Mount of Olives, and as they joined the throng that were escorting Jesus, they caught the inspiration of the hour, and helped to swell the shout, ‘Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!’ [Matthew 21:9.] In like manner did unbelievers who flocked to the Adventist meetings—some from curiosity, some merely to ridicule—feel the convincing power attending the message, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!’” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250.

> „Ponoćni poklik nije se toliko prenosio putem dokazivanja, premda je biblijski dokaz bio jasan i neoboriv. S njime je išla pokretačka sila koja je dirala dušu. Nije bilo sumnje, ni propitivanja. Prigodom Kristova slavodobitnog ulaska u Jeruzalem, narod koji se sa svih strana zemlje okupio da svetkuje blagdan, slijevao se na Maslinsku goru, i kada su se pridružili mnoštvu koje je pratilo Isusa, zahvatilo ih je nadahnuće toga časa te su pomogli pojačati uzvik: ‘Blagoslovljen onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje!’ [Matej 21,9.] Na isti su način i nevjernici koji su hrlili na adventističke skupove — neki iz znatiželje, a neki samo da bi ismijavali — osjetili uvjerljivu silu koja je pratila poruku: ‘Evo, Zaručnik dolazi!’” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is the final message that is unsealed in the last days and it includes Islam of the third Woe. When Christ, who is the message that is unsealed, entered Jerusalem, and thus typified the Midnight Cry of the last days, He was carried (His message was carried) by an “ass”. The final message of Christ’s righteousness is carried by Islam.

Otkrivenje Isusa Krista posljednja je poruka koja se otpečaćuje u posljednjim danima, i ona uključuje islam trećega Jao. Kada je Krist, koji je poruka što se otpečaćuje, ušao u Jeruzalem te tako predoznačio Ponoćni poklič posljednjih dana, bio je nošen (Njegova je poruka bila nošena) na „magarcu“. Posljednju poruku Kristove pravednosti nosi islam.

Islam was, is, and will be a wild man, as represented by the wild Arabian ass, and any who wish to see (and there are many who don’t wish to see), can easily “recognize,” that the warfare that is now being carried out by Islam is wild insanity. The willingness to commit suicide, believing there will be some great sexual reward in the hereafter is satanic insanity. The first mention of Islam identified that Islam would be a wild man.

Islam je bio, jest i bit će divlji čovjek, kao što je predočen divljim arapskim magarcem, i svatko tko želi vidjeti (a mnogi ne žele vidjeti), može lako „prepoznati” da je ratovanje koje sada provodi islam divlje ludilo. Spremnost da se počini samoubojstvo, uz vjerovanje da će u budućem životu uslijediti neka velika spolna nagrada, sotonsko je ludilo. Prvo spominjanje islama naznačilo je da će islam biti divlji čovjek.

Islam’s warfare brings all mankind together to fight the escalating warfare of the third Woe. Islam is the prophetic logic for the implementation of a one-world government, and the globalists teach that they purposely introduced the Jews back into the land of Israel after World War Two, that they might use the ancient hatred of Islam towards the Jews to initiate a Third World War. The globalists believe, and have taught for decades, that they will need a Third World War to bring about their one-world government. The globalists’ corrupted motivations, as expressed with their own words, fits into the biblical role of Islam.

Islamovo ratovanje dovodi cijelo čovječanstvo na okupu kako bi vodilo borbu u sve žešćem ratovanju trećega Jao. Islam je proročka logika za provedbu jedne svjetske vlade, a globalisti uče da su namjerno vratili Židove natrag u zemlju Izrael nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata, kako bi mogli iskoristiti drevnu mržnju islama prema Židovima za pokretanje Trećega svjetskog rata. Globalisti vjeruju, i desetljećima su naučavali, da će im Treći svjetski rat biti potreban kako bi uspostavili svoju jednu svjetsku vladu. Iskrivljeni motivi globalista, kako su izraženi njihovim vlastitim riječima, uklapaju se u biblijsku ulogu islama.

Possibly the most serious piece of Ishmael’s prophetic DNA, in the verse where he is first mentioned, is the fact that his spirit, which is the spirit of a “wild man,” “dwells in the presence of all his brethren.” The idea that it is only some sects of radical Islam that will be involved in the third Woe, does not square with God’s Word. The common politically correct view that there are a few bad apples in every religious persuasion, and that the majority of the Muslim religion are peace-loving citizens, does not agree with either their own holy book, or the Bible.

Možda najozbiljniji dio Išmaelove proročke DNK, u retku u kojem se prvi put spominje, jest činjenica da njegov duh, koji je duh „divljeg čovjeka“, „prebiva pred licem sve svoje braće“. Zamisao da će u trećem Jao sudjelovati samo neke sekte radikalnog islama nije u skladu s Božjom Riječju. Uobičajeno politički korektno gledište da u svakom vjerskom opredjeljenju postoji tek nekoliko loših pojedinaca, te da su većina pripadnika muslimanske vjere građani koji ljube mir, nije u skladu ni s njihovom vlastitom svetom knjigom ni s Biblijom.

The Koran teaches that it is the duty of every follower of Allah to bring the entire world into conformity to Sharia law, and the first mention of Islam in the book of Genesis identifies that the “wild man” spirit of Ishmael will be in every follower of Islam. The Koran directly teaches its adherents to feign decency when they live in areas where they do not yet have the ability to force their religious rule upon the population, much like Catholicism.

Kuran uči da je dužnost svakoga Allahova sljedbenika dovesti cijeli svijet u suglasnost sa šerijatskim zakonom, a prvo spominjanje islama u Knjizi Postanka utvrđuje da će duh Jišmaelova „divljeg čovjeka” biti u svakom sljedbeniku islama. Kuran izravno poučava svoje pristaše da glume pristojnost kada žive na područjima gdje još nemaju sposobnost nametnuti svoju vjersku vlast stanovništvu, slično kao i katolicizam.

The prophet from Judah confronted Jeroboam when his kingdom was first inaugurated. Apostate Protestantism began in 1844, and it was immediately confronted by Millerite Adventism who had entered the Most Holy Place and discovered the law of God, including the seventh-day Sabbath. Millerite Adventism was told, as represented by Jeremiah, to return to God, but never to return to the “assembly of mockers.” The prophet from Judah was told to not return the same way he came, nor eat or drink the food of the lying prophet of Bethel, but he did so. The prophet from Judah’s death was symbolically placed between two symbols, that represented the papacy and Islam. Laodicean Adventism cannot see those two truths for in 1863, they poked out their own spiritual eyes, and began the process of covering the jewels and methodology employed by William Miller in order to establish the foundations of Adventism with counterfeit coins and jewels, and the methodology of apostate Protestantism and Catholicism.

Prorok iz Jude suprotstavio se Jeroboamu kada je njegovo kraljevstvo tek bilo uspostavljeno. Otpadnički protestantizam započeo je 1844. godine i odmah mu se suprotstavio mileritski adventizam, koji je ušao u Svetinju nad svetinjama i otkrio Božji zakon, uključujući subotu sedmoga dana. Mileritskom adventizmu bilo je rečeno, kako to predstavlja Jeremija, da se vrati Bogu, ali da se nikada ne vraća u „zbor podrugljivaca“. Proroku iz Jude bilo je rečeno da se ne vraća istim putem kojim je došao, niti da jede ili pije hranu lažnoga proroka iz Betela, ali on je to ipak učinio. Smrt proroka iz Jude bila je simbolički smještena između dvaju simbola, koji su predstavljali papinstvo i islam. Laodikejski adventizam ne može vidjeti te dvije istine, jer su 1863. sebi iskopali vlastite duhovne oči i započeli proces prekrivanja dragulja i metodologije kojima se služio William Miller kako bi temelje adventizma uspostavio krivotvorenim novcem i draguljima te metodologijom otpadničkog protestantizma i katolicizma.

The “dirt brush Man” is now sweeping His floor and restoring the jewels and giving them to Miller to place upon his table, but Adventism is blinded by the belief that they are the remnant people who were raised up as His people in 1844.

„Čovjek s četkom za prašinu” sada mete svoj pod, obnavlja dragulje i daje ih Milleru da ih stavi na svoj stol, no adventizam je zaslijepljen vjerovanjem da su oni ostatak naroda koji je 1844. bio podignut kao Njegov narod.

> And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Matthew 3:9–12.

> I ne pomišljajte govoriti u sebi: Imamo Abrahama za oca; jer kažem vam da Bog može od ovoga kamenja podići djecu Abrahamu. A već je i sjekira položena na korijen stablima; stoga se svako stablo koje ne donosi dobra roda siječe i baca u oganj. Ja vas, istina, krstim vodom na obraćenje; ali onaj koji dolazi za mnom jači je od mene, kojemu nisam dostojan obuću nositi; on će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem. Njemu je vijača u ruci, i on će temeljito očistiti svoje gumno te sabrati svoju pšenicu u žitnicu; a pljevu će spaliti ognjem neugasivim. Matej 3:9–12.

Laodicean Adventism will be spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, except for those individuals who might repent. Laodicean Adventism is to be buried in the same grave as the former covenant people who rejected Miller’s message are buried in, for they are now, also a former covenant people in relation to the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The rebellion of 1863 is illustrated by the prophet who came from Judah, who also left a prediction of king Josiah.

Laodicejski adventizam bit će izbljuvan iz usta Gospodnjih, osim onih pojedinaca koji bi se mogli pokajati. Laodicejski adventizam treba biti pokopan u istome grobu u kojemu je pokopan negdašnji saveznički narod koji je odbacio Millerovu poruku, jer su oni sada također negdašnji saveznički narod u odnosu na sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Pobuna iz 1863. godine predočena je po proroku koji je došao iz Jude, koji je također ostavio proročanstvo o kralju Jošiji.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Nastavit ćemo ovo proučavanje u sljedećem članku.

> “Instead of becoming like the world, we are to become more and more distinct from the world. Satan has combined and will continue to combine with the churches in making a masterly effort against the truth of God. Everything that is done by God’s people to make inroads upon the world will call forth determined opposition from the powers of darkness. The enemy’s last great conflict will be a most determined one. It will be the last battle between the powers of darkness and the powers of light. Every true child of God will fight bravely on the side of Christ. Those who in this great crisis allow themselves to be more on the side of the world than of God, will eventually place themselves wholly on the side of the world. Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist. There is no time now for us to assimilate with the world. Daniel is standing in his lot and in his place. The prophecies of Daniel and of John are to be understood. They interpret each other. They give to the world truths which everyone should understand. These prophecies are to be witness in the world. By their fulfillment in these last days, they will explain themselves.

> „Umjesto da postanemo slični svijetu, trebamo postajati sve više i više različiti od svijeta. Sotona se udružio i nastavit će se udruživati s crkvama u majstorskom nastojanju protiv Božje istine. Sve što Božji narod čini kako bi prodro u svijet izazvat će odlučno protivljenje sila tame. Posljednji veliki sukob neprijatelja bit će krajnje odlučan. Bit će to posljednja bitka između sila tame i sila svjetla. Svako istinsko Božje dijete hrabro će se boriti na Kristovoj strani. Oni koji u ovoj velikoj krizi dopuste sebi da budu više na strani svijeta nego na Božjoj strani, na kraju će se posve staviti na stranu svijeta. Oni koji postanu smeteni u svojem razumijevanju Riječi, koji ne uspiju uvidjeti značenje antikrista, zasigurno će stati na stranu antikrista. Sada nije vrijeme da se prilagođavamo svijetu. Daniel stoji u svojem dijelu i na svojem mjestu. Proročanstva Daniela i Ivana treba razumjeti. Ona jedno drugo tumače. Ona svijetu daju istine koje bi svatko trebao razumjeti. Ta proročanstva trebaju biti svjedočanstvo u svijetu. Svojim ispunjenjem u ovim posljednjim danima sama će se objasniti.“

> “The Lord is about to punish the world for its iniquity. He is about to punish religious bodies for their rejection of the light and truth which has been given them. The great message, combining the first, second, and third angel’s messages, is to be given to the world. This is to be the burden of our work. Those who truly believe in Christ will openly conform to the law of Jehovah. The Sabbath is the sign between God and His people, and we are to make visible our conformity to the law of God by observing the Sabbath. It is to be the mark of distinction between God’s chosen people and the world. It means much to be true to God. This embraces health reform. It means that our diet must be simple, that we must be temperate in all things. The many varieties of food so often seen on tables is not necessary, but highly injurious. Mind and body are to be preserved in the best condition of health. Only those who have been trained in the knowledge and fear of God should be chosen to take responsibilities. Those who have been long in the truth, yet who cannot distinguish between the pure principles of righteousness and the principles of evil, whose understanding in regard to justice, mercy, and the love of God is beclouded, should be relieved of responsibility.

> „Gospodin će uskoro kazniti svijet zbog njegova bezakonja. Uskoro će kazniti vjerske zajednice zbog njihova odbacivanja svjetla i istine koji su im bili dani. Velika poruka, koja objedinjuje poruke prvoga, drugoga i trećega anđela, treba biti objavljena svijetu. To treba biti teret našega rada. Oni koji istinski vjeruju u Krista otvoreno će se uskladiti sa zakonom Jehove. Subota je znak između Boga i Njegova naroda, i mi trebamo učiniti vidljivim svoje usklađivanje sa zakonom Božjim svetkovanjem Subote. Ona treba biti znak razlikovanja između Božjega izabranog naroda i svijeta. Mnogo znači biti vjeran Bogu. To obuhvaća zdravstvenu reformu. To znači da naša prehrana mora biti jednostavna, da moramo biti umjereni u svemu. Mnoge vrste hrane koje se tako često viđaju na stolovima nisu potrebne, nego veoma štetne. Um i tijelo treba sačuvati u najboljem zdravstvenom stanju. Samo oni koji su odgojeni u spoznaji i strahu Božjem trebaju biti izabrani da preuzmu odgovornosti. Oni koji su dugo u istini, a ipak ne mogu razlikovati čista načela pravednosti od načela zla, kojima je razumijevanje pravde, milosrđa i Božje ljubavi pomračeno, trebaju biti razriješeni odgovornosti.“

> “God has important lessons for his people to learn. Had these lessons been learned before, his cause would not be where it is today. One thing must be done. The truth is not to be withheld from ministers or men in positions of responsibility for fear of incurring their displeasure. There are to be connected with our institutions men who with meekness and in wisdom will declare the whole counsel of God. God’s wrath is kindled against those who in carnal security and price have shown contempt for his management. They are endangering the prosperity of the cause.

> „Bog ima važne pouke koje njegov narod mora naučiti. Da su te pouke bile naučene prije, njegovo djelo ne bi bilo ondje gdje je danas. Jedno se mora učiniti. Istina se ne smije uskraćivati propovjednicima niti ljudima na odgovornim položajima iz straha da bi se navuklo njihovo nezadovoljstvo. S našim ustanovama moraju biti povezani ljudi koji će s krotkošću i u mudrosti objavljivati sav Božji naum. Božji se gnjev raspalio protiv onih koji su u tjelesnoj sigurnosti i za cijenu pokazali prezir prema njegovu upravljanju. Oni dovode u opasnost napredak djela.“

> “Every false way is a deception, and if sustained, will in the end bring destruction. Thus the Lord permits those who maintain false plans to be destroyed. At the very time when praise and adulation is heard, sudden destruction comes. There are those who, notwithstanding they know of the reproof received by others, because of unfaithfulness, turn away from admonition. These are doubly guilty. They knew the Lord’s will and did it not. Their punishment will be proportionate to their guilt. They would not take heed to the word of the Lord.” Kress Collection, 105, 106.

> „Svaki lažni put jest obmana i, ako se ustraje u njemu, na koncu će donijeti propast. Stoga Gospodin dopušta da oni koji se drže lažnih planova budu uništeni. Upravo u času kada se čuje hvala i laskanje, dolazi iznenadna propast. Ima onih koji se, unatoč tomu što znaju za ukor upućen drugima zbog nevjernosti, odvraćaju od opomene. Takvi su dvostruko krivi. Znali su Gospodnju volju i nisu je izvršili. Njihova će kazna biti razmjerna njihovoj krivnji. Nisu htjeli poslušati riječ Gospodnju.“ Kress Collection, 105, 106.
