The triple application of Elijah identified that in the last days there would be an Elijah at the beginning of the last days and at the ending of the last days. The “last days” are the days of judgment, which is progressive and divided into two types of judgment. The investigative judgment which began in the beginning of the last days, and the executive judgment which takes place in the ending of the last days. The triple application of Elijah is primarily representing the history of the executive judgment which begins at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Qhov kev siv Eliyas peb npaug ntawd qhia meej tias hauv hnub kawg yuav muaj ib tug Eliyas nyob thaum pib ntawm hnub kawg thiab thaum xaus ntawm hnub kawg. “Hnub kawg” yog cov hnub ntawm kev txiav txim, uas yog ib txoj kev txiav txim uas mus raws theem zuj zus thiab muab faib ua ob hom kev txiav txim. Yog kev txiav txim tshawb xyuas, uas tau pib thaum xub thawj ntawm hnub kawg, thiab yog kev txiav txim ua tiav, uas tshwm sim thaum xaus ntawm hnub kawg. Qhov kev siv Eliyas peb npaug no, qhov tseem ceeb tshaj, sawv cev rau keeb kwm ntawm kev txiav txim ua tiav uas pib thaum txoj cai Hnub Sunday uas yuav los sai.

The investigative judgment is restricted to those who have made a profession to be a follower of God, primarily by direct profession, but also in a minority of occurrences by an indirect profession of lifestyle.

Kev txiav txim tshawb nrhiav no raug txwv rau cov uas tau tshaj tawm tias lawv yog cov raws Vajtswv qab, feem ntau yog los ntawm kev lees ncaj qha, tab sis kuj muaj qee qhov tsawg dua yog los ntawm kev qhia tsis ncaj qha hauv lawv txoj kev ua neej.

> (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.) Romans 2:13–15.

> (Vim tsis yog cov uas tsuas hnov txoj cai xwb thiaj raug suav hais tias ncaj ncees nyob ntawm Vajtswv xub ntiag, tiam sis yog cov uas ua raws txoj cai thiaj yuav raug tsim txiaj. Rau thaum cov Lwm Haiv Neeg, uas tsis muaj txoj cai, ua raws li tej yam uas nyob hauv txoj cai raws li lawv tus cwj pwm ntuj tsim, lawv ntawd, txawm tsis muaj txoj cai los, kuj yog ib txoj cai rau lawv tus kheej: tej no qhia tias txoj hauj lwm ntawm txoj cai twb raug sau cia rau hauv lawv lub siab lawm, lawv lub siab dawb paug kuj ua tim khawv thiab, thiab lawv tej kev xav nyob hauv lawv tus kheej kuj sib liam los sis sib zam txim rau ib leeg.) Loos 2:13–15.

The investigative judgment has two primary divisions, for it began with the investigation of the lives of the dead (from the days of Adam onward), who had professed to believe in the true God, and on September 11, 2001, it began the process of the investigative “judgment of the living.” The investigative judgment has another division beyond dead to living, for judgment begins with God’s house, and in the last days God’s house is Laodicean Adventism. Once the judgment of God’s house concludes at the soon-coming Sunday law, then God’s other flock that are then in Babylon are judged.

Kev txiav txim tshuaj xyuas muaj ob ntu tseem ceeb, rau qhov nws tau pib nrog kev tshuaj xyuas txog lub neej ntawm cov neeg tuag (txij li hnub Adas los mus), uas tau lees tias lawv ntseeg Vajtswv tseeb, thiab thaum lub Cuaj Hlis 11, 2001, nws tau pib txoj txheej txheem ntawm “kev txiav txim tshuaj xyuas rau cov neeg ciaj sia.” Kev txiav txim tshuaj xyuas tseem muaj dua ib ntu ntxiv dhau ntawm cov neeg tuag mus rau cov neeg ciaj sia, rau qhov kev txiav txim pib ntawm Vajtswv lub tsev, thiab hauv hnub kawg Vajtswv lub tsev yog Laodicean Adventism. Thaum kev txiav txim ntawm Vajtswv lub tsev xaus rau thaum txoj cai Hnub Caiv cuav uas yuav los sai, ces Vajtswv pab yaj lwm pab uas lub sijhawm ntawd tseem nyob hauv Babylon mam raug txiav txim.

The executive judgment is God’s punishment upon those who rejected His offer of salvation. The executive judgment begins at the soon-coming Sunday law. The United States will then have filled up its cup of wrath, which is also the cup of its probationary time, and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin. Every nation on planet earth will follow the example of the United States in enforcing a Sunday law, and each of those nations will then fill up their cups and also suffer national ruin.

Kev txiav txim rau txim yog Vajtswv txoj kev rau txim rau cov uas tau tsis kam lees Nws txoj kev cawm seej uas Nws tau muab pub. Kev txiav txim rau txim pib thaum txoj cai Hnub Caiv yuav los txog sai no. Thaum ntawd Tebchaws Meskas yuav tau puv nws lub khob ntawm kev chim siab, uas kuj yog lub khob ntawm nws lub sijhawm sim neej, thiab kev thim txoj kev ntseeg ntawm lub tebchaws yuav raug raws los ntawm kev puas tsuaj ntawm lub tebchaws. Txhua haiv neeg nyob saum npoo ntiajteb yuav ua raws li tus qauv ntawm Tebchaws Meskas hauv kev yuam kom coj raws txoj cai Hnub Caiv, thiab txhua lub tebchaws ntawd yuav puv lawv tej khob thiab kuj yuav raug kev puas tsuaj ntawm lub tebchaws thiab.

> “As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the Papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18.

> “Thaum Amelikas, lub tebchaws ntawm kev ywj pheej kev ntseeg, yuav koom tes nrog lub Koom Txoos Kav Tos Liv hauv kev yuam lub siab dawb paug thiab quab yuam neeg kom hwm hnub Xanpataus cuav, ces cov neeg ntawm txhua lub tebchaws thoob plaws ntiajteb yuav raug coj kom raws nws tus yam ntxwv.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18.

The executive judgment is also divided into two parts. From the Sunday law in the United States until human probation closes when Michael stands up, God’s judgments are mixed with mercy, but when Michael stands up, God’s wrath, as represented by the pouring out of the seven last plagues, contains no mercy. During the period of the Sunday law crisis the executive judgments upon men and nations will be mixed with mercy, for there will still be some in Babylon that are then being given opportunity to understand the distinction between the worship of Sabbath and Sunday.

Kev txiav txim rau kev ua tiav kuj raug faib ua ob ntu. Txij thaum txoj cai Sunday nyob hauv Tebchaws Meskas mus txog thaum lub sijhawm sim siab rau tibneeg kaw lawm thaum Michael sawv tsees, Vajtswv tej kev txiav txim tseem raug tov nrog txoj kev hlub tshua, tab sis thaum Michael sawv tsees lawm, Vajtswv txoj kev chim, raws li sawv cev los ntawm kev nchuav tawm ntawm xya lub phom sij kawg, yuav tsis muaj txoj kev hlub tshua li lawm. Thaum lub sijhawm muaj teebmeem ntawm txoj cai Sunday ntawd, tej kev txiav txim rau kev ua tiav uas poob rau saum tibneeg thiab tej haiv neeg yuav raug tov nrog txoj kev hlub tshua, rau qhov tseem yuav muaj qee leej nyob hauv Babylon uas thaum ntawd tseem raug muab sijhawm kom to taub qhov sib txawv ntawm kev pe hawm Hnub Xanpataus thiab Sunday.

> “Oh, that the people might know the time of their visitation! There are many who have not yet heard the testing truth for this time. There are many with whom the Spirit of God is striving. The time of God’s destructive judgments is the time of mercy for those who have had no opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; His hand is still stretched out to save, while the door is closed to those who would not enter.

> “Au, thov kom cov neeg paub lub sijhawm uas Vajtswv tuaj xyuas lawv! Tseem muaj coob leej uas tseem tsis tau hnov qhov tseeb uas sim siab rau lub sijhawm no. Tseem muaj coob leej uas Vajtswv tus Ntsuj Plig tab tom tawm tsam nrog lawv. Lub sijhawm ntawm Vajtswv tej kev txiav txim uas rhuav tshem yog lub sijhawm ntawm txojkev hlub tshua rau cov uas tsis tau muaj sijhawm kawm paub qhov tseeb yog dabtsi. Tus Tswv yuav ntsia ntsoov lawv nrog kev mos siab muag. Nws lub siab uas puv npo kev hlub tshua raug kov lawm; Nws txhais tes tseem ncab tawm los cawm, thaum lub qhov rooj raug kaw rau cov uas tsis kam nkag mus.”

> “The mercy of God is shown in His long forbearance. He is holding back His judgments, waiting for the message of warning to be sounded to all. Oh, if our people would feel as they should the responsibility resting upon them to give the last message of mercy to the world, what a wonderful work would be done!” Testimonies, volume 9, 97.

> “Txoj kev khuvleej ntawm Vajtswv raug qhia tawm hauv Nws txoj kev ua siab ntev ntev. Nws tab tom tuav Nws tej kev txiav txim rov qab, tos kom txoj xov ceeb toom raug ncha mus rau sawv daws. Au, yog tias peb haiv neeg yuav hnov raws li lawv tsim nyog hnov txog lub luag hauj lwm uas nyob saum lawv los tshaj tawm txoj xov kawg ntawm txoj kev hlub tshua rau lub ntiaj teb, mas yuav muaj ib txoj hauj lwm uas zoo kawg nkaus raug ua tiav!” Testimonies, volume 9, 97.

The “time of God’s destructive judgments is the time of mercy for those who have had no opportunity to learn what is truth.” Those two “times” begin together when “the door is closed” upon Laodicean Adventists “who would not enter.”

“Lub sij hawm” ntawm Vajtswv txoj kev txiav txim rhuav tshem yog “lub sij hawm” ntawm txoj kev hlub tshua rau cov uas tsis tau muaj ib lub sijhawm los kawm paub tias qhov tseeb yog dab tsi. Ob lub “sij hawm” ntawd pib ua ke thaum “lub qhov rooj raug kaw” rau saum cov Laodicean Adventists “uas tsis kam nkag mus.”

> “I saw that the holy Sabbath is, and will be, the separating wall between the true Israel of God and unbelievers; and that the Sabbath is the great question, to unite the hearts of God’s dear waiting saints. And if one believed, and kept the Sabbath, and received the blessing attending it, and then gave it up, and broke the holy commandment, they would shut the gates of the Holy City against themselves, as sure as there was a God that rules in heaven above. I saw that God had children, who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They had not rejected the light on it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were f illed with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the church, and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time, God’s chosen, all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us.” A Word to the Little Flock, 18, 19.

> “Kuv pom hais tias Hnub Xanpataus dawb huv yog, thiab yuav yog, phab ntsa cais nruab nrab ntawm cov Yixayee tseeb ntawm Vajtswv thiab cov tsis ntseeg; thiab hais tias Hnub Xanpataus yog lo lus nug loj, los koom cov siab ntawm Vajtswv cov neeg dawb huv uas nws hlub, cov uas tos ntsoov. Thiab yog hais tias leejtwg tau ntseeg, thiab tau ceev Hnub Xanpataus, thiab tau txais txoj koob hmoov uas nrog nws los, ces tom qab ntawd tso nws tseg, thiab ua txhaum txoj lus txib dawb huv, lawv yuav kaw tej rooj vag ntawm Lub Nroog Dawb Huv tawm tsam lawv tus kheej, tseeb ib yam li muaj ib tug Vajtswv kav saum ntuj ceeb tsheej. Kuv pom tias Vajtswv muaj cov menyuam, uas tsis pom thiab tsis ceev Hnub Xanpataus. Lawv tsis tau tsis lees txais qhov kaj txog nws. Thiab thaum pib ntawm lub sij hawm kev txom nyem, peb raug puv npo los ntawm tus Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv thaum peb tawm mus thiab tshaj tawm Hnub Xanpataus kom puv dua qub. Qhov no ua rau pawg ntseeg thiab cov Adventist uas tsuas yog muaj npe npau taws heev, vim lawv tsis muaj peev xwm thim tawm qhov tseeb txog Hnub Xanpataus. Thiab nyob rau lub sij hawm no, Vajtswv cov neeg xaiv tseg sawvdaws pom meej tias peb muaj qhov tseeb, thiab lawv thiaj tawm los thiab nyiaj taus txoj kev tsim txom nrog peb.” A Word to the Little Flock, 18, 19.

The door is closed at the soon-coming Sunday law, making the period which precedes the Sunday law “the time” of God’s people’s “visitation.”

Lub qhov rooj raug kaw thaum txoj cai Hnub Caiv Sunday tab tom los sai sai no, ua rau lub sijhawm uas nyob ua ntej txoj cai Sunday ntawd yog “lub sijhawm” ntawm Vajtswv haiv neeg “kev tuaj xyuas.”

> How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them? Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for everyone from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 8:8–12.

> Yuav ua li cas nej ho hais tias, Peb yog cov neeg txawj ntse, thiab txoj kevcai ntawm tus Tswv nyob nrog peb? Saib seb, muaj tseeb tiag nws tau ua rau tsis muaj nqis; tus cwj mem ntawm cov kws sau ntawv kuj tsis muaj nqis. Cov neeg txawj ntse raug txaj muag, lawv ntshai thiab raug ntes: saib seb, lawv tau tsis lees yuav lo lus ntawm tus Tswv; ces tseem tshuav txoj kev txawj ntse dab tsi nyob hauv lawv? Yog li ntawd kuv yuav muab lawv tej pojniam rau lwm tus, thiab lawv tej teb rau cov uas yuav tau txais ua qub txeeg qub teg: rau qhov txhua tus txij tus me tshaj plaws mus txog tus loj tshaj plaws puavleej muab siab rau kev ntshaw nyiaj ntshaw txiaj, txij tus cev Vajtswv lus mus txog tus pov thawj txhua tus puavleej coj ncaj tsis raws. Rau qhov lawv tau kho qhov txhab ntawm tus ntxhais ntawm kuv haivneeg tsuas yog me me xwb, hais tias, Kev thajyeeb, kev thajyeeb; thaum tsis muaj kev thajyeeb li. Puas yog lawv txaj muag thaum lawv tau ua tej yam qias vuab tsuab? Tsis yog li ntawd, lawv yeej tsis txaj muag kiag li, thiab lawv kuj tsis paub txaj muag li: yog li ntawd lawv yuav poob nrog cov uas poob; thaum lub sijhawm uas lawv raug tuaj xyuas, lawv yuav raug muab pov tseg, tus Tswv hais li ntawd. Yelemis 8:8–12.

As with ancient Israel, so with modern Israel, they are both destroyed, for they knew not the time of their visitation. The time of God’s visitation for Laodicean Adventism began on September 11, 2001, and concludes at the soon coming Sunday law.

Ib yam li cov Ixayee thaum ub, kuj ib yam li ntawd rau cov Ixayee niaj hnub no thiab, ob leeg puav leej raug rhuav tshem, rau qhov lawv tsis paub lub sijhawm uas Vajtswv tuaj xyuas lawv. Lub sijhawm uas Vajtswv tuaj xyuas Laodicean Adventism pib rau hnub Cuaj Hlis 11, 2001, thiab xaus rau txoj cai Hnub Caiv uas yuav los sai no.

> And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. Luke 19:41–44.

> Thiab thaum Nws los ze lawm, Nws ntsia pom lub nroog, thiab quaj ntsuag rau nws, hais tias, Yog koj, yog koj tus kheej, tsuas yog koj twb paub lawm hauv hnub no uas yog koj hnub no, tej yam uas yog rau koj txoj kev kaj siab lug! tiam sis nim no tej ntawd twb muab zais rau ntawm koj ob lub qhov muag lawm. Vim hnub yuav los txog rau koj, uas koj cov yeeb ncuab yuav txhim ib txoj kev thaiv nyob ib ncig koj, thiab yuav vij koj puag ncig, thiab kaw koj rau txhua sab, thiab yuav rhuav koj kom sib luag nrog hauv av, thiab koj cov me nyuam uas nyob hauv koj; thiab lawv yuav tsis cia ib lub pob zeb nyob saum lwm lub pob zeb hauv koj li; vim koj tsis tau paub txog lub sijhawm uas koj raug tuaj xyuas. Lukas 19:41–44.

At the time of God’s visitation the wise and foolish are forever separated.

Thaum txog lub sijhawm uas Vajtswv nqes los saib xyuas, cov ntse thiab cov ruam yuav raug cais tawm ntawm ib leeg mus ib txhis.

> “We know that unconsecrated Seventh-day Adventists, who have a knowledge of the truth, but who have linked themselves with worldlings will depart entirely from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits. The enemy will gladly hold out inducements to them, to lead them to carry on a warfare against the people of God. But those who are true and steadfast will have a strong and powerful defense in God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 7, 186.

> “Peb paub tias cov Seventh-day Adventists uas tsis tau fij lawv tus kheej dawb huv, cov uas muaj kev paub txog qhov tseeb, tiam sis tau txuas lawv tus kheej nrog cov neeg ntiajteb, yuav ncaim tawm ntawm txoj kev ntseeg kiag li, mloog tej dab ntxias dag. Tus yeeb ncuab yuav zoo siab heev muab tej yam ntxias rau lawv, kom coj lawv mus tawm tsam haiv neeg ntawm Vajtswv. Tiamsis cov uas yog neeg tseeb thiab ruaj khov yuav muaj ib qho chaw tiv thaiv muaj zog thiab hwjchim hauv Vajtswv.” Manuscript Releases, volume 7, 186.

Their time of visitation began on September 11, 2001, as typified by the time of visitation upon the Protestant churches on August 11, 1840, and as the time of visitation had begun for ancient Israel when the Holy Spirit descended at the baptism of Christ.

Lawv lub sijhawm raug mus xyuas pib thaum lub Cuaj Hli 11, 2001, raws li tau ua qauv qhia tseg los ntawm lub sijhawm raug mus xyuas uas los rau saum cov koom txoos Protestant thaum lub Yim Hli 11, 1840, thiab ib yam li lub sijhawm raug mus xyuas twb tau pib rau cov Yixayee thaum ub thaum Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv nqes los rau saum Khetos thaum Nws ua kevcai raus dej.

The executive judgment begins when the United States fills the cup of its probationary time at the soon coming Sunday law, which is also when the Laodicean Adventist church has filled their cup. Judgment begins with the house of God, and the cup of probationary time for both corrupted horns of the United States. The corrupted horn of Protestantism that has previously been represented by the Laodicean Adventist church then ceases, and the Philadelphian movement of the third angel is then the true horn of Protestantism, and spiritual Jerusalem that is lifted up as an ensign. At that point Jerusalem changes from the church militant into the church triumphant.

Kev txiav txim kawg pib thaum Tebchaws Meskas ntim puv lub khob ntawm nws lub sijhawm sim siab thaum txoj cai Hnub Caiv yuav los txog sai, uas kuj yog lub sijhawm uas pawg ntseeg Laodicean Adventist tau ntim puv lawv lub khob thiab. Kev txiav txim pib ntawm tsev neeg ntawm Vajtswv, thiab ntawm lub khob ntawm lub sijhawm sim siab rau ob lub kub uas twb raug xeb ntawm Tebchaws Meskas. Lub kub uas raug xeb ntawm Protestantism uas yav tas los tau sawv cev los ntawm pawg ntseeg Laodicean Adventist ntawd mam li xaus, thiab lub zog Philadelphian ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb mam li yog lub kub tseeb ntawm Protestantism, thiab yog Yeluxalees sab ntsuj plig uas raug tsa siab ua ib daim chij. Lub sijhawm ntawd Yeluxalees hloov ntawm pawg ntseeg uas tseem tab tom ua rog mus rau pawg ntseeg uas muaj yeej lawm.

The executive judgment begins, with the time of God’s destructive judgments, which is also a time of mercy for God’s other flock that is still in Babylon. It begins when the time of God’s visitation upon Laodicean Adventism ends. The executive judgment progresses to the Seven Last Plagues where the judgments are no longer mixed with mercy, and then Jesus returns.

Kev txiav txim rau kev ua raws cai pib, nrog lub sijhawm ntawm Vajtswv cov kev txiav txim uas rhuav tshem, uas kuj yog ib lub sijhawm ntawm txoj kev khuv leej rau Vajtswv lwm pab yaj uas tseem nyob hauv Npanpiloo. Nws pib thaum lub sijhawm ntawm Vajtswv txoj kev tuaj xyuas saum Laodicean Adventism xaus. Kev txiav txim rau kev ua raws cai ntawd txav mus txog rau Xya Phiaj Xaus Kawg uas cov kev txiav txim tsis muaj kev khuv leej tov nrog ntxiv lawm, thiab ces Yexus rov qab los.

When Jesus returns, the millennium (one thousand years), of Revelation chapter twenty, identifies that Satan is bound upon a desolated earth, alone with only the rebellious angels that participated in the attack against God.

Thaum Yexus rov qab los, lub xyoo txhiab (ib txhiab xyoo), uas raug hais hauv Tshwm Sim tshooj nees nkaum, qhia tias Xatas raug khi rau saum ib lub ntiajteb uas puam tsuaj tag, nyob ib leeg nrog tsuas yog cov timtswv uas ntxeev siab uas tau koom nrog hauv txoj kev tawm tsam tawm tsam Vajtswv xwb.

> And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20:1–3.

> Thiab kuv pom ib tug tim tswv nqes saum ntuj los, tuav tus yuam sij ntawm lub qhov tob uas tsis muaj chaw txhawv thiab ib txoj saw loj hauv nws txhais tes. Thiab nws txhom tau tus zaj, tus nab qub ntawd, uas yog Ntxwg Nyoog, thiab Xatas, thiab khi nws ib txhiab xyoo, thiab muab nws ntiab rau hauv lub qhov tob uas tsis muaj chaw txhawv, thiab kaw nws rau hauv, thiab muab ib lub cim foob rau saum nws, kom nws txhob dag ntxias haiv neeg ntxiv lawm, mus txog thaum ib txhiab xyoo ntawd tiav: thiab tom qab ntawd nws yuav tsum raug tso tawm ib pliag xwb. Tshwmsim 20:1–3.

During that thousand years the redeemed will perform an investigative judgment upon the lost who are still sleeping in their graves waiting for the conclusion of the individual judgments. The redeemed will consider the lives and circumstances of the lost, including Satan and his angels, in order to determine which deserves greater punishment at the end of the thousand years.

Nyob rau lub sij hawm ib txhiab xyoo ntawd, cov uas raug txhiv dim yuav ua txoj kev txiav txim tshawb xyuas rau saum cov uas poob lawm, cov uas tseem tsaug zog hauv lawv tej ntxa tos qhov xaus ntawm txhua tus neeg txoj kev txiav txim. Cov uas raug txhiv dim yuav tshuaj xyuas lub neej thiab txhua yam xwm txheej ntawm cov uas poob lawm, suav nrog Xatas thiab nws cov tubtxib saum ntuj, kom txiav txim seb tus twg tsim nyog raug txim hnyav dua thaum kawg ntawm ib txhiab xyoo ntawd.

> And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 20:4.

> Thiab kuv pom tej zwm txwv, thiab lawv tau zaum saum tej ntawd, thiab txoj kev txiav txim raug muab rau lawv; thiab kuv pom cov ntsuj plig ntawm cov uas raug txiav taub hau vim yog zaj lus tim khawv txog Yexus, thiab vim yog Vajtswv Txojlus, thiab cov uas tsis tau pe hawm tus tsiaj qus, thiab tsis pe hawm nws daim duab, thiab tsis tau txais nws lub cim rau saum lawv lub hauv pliaj lossis rau hauv lawv txhais tes; thiab lawv tau rov ciaj sia thiab kav nrog Khetos ib txhiab xyoo. Qhia Tshwm 20:4.

The millennium therefore contains an investigative judgment, that when finished brings the final executive judgment when the wicked dead are raised, and Satan who then has entire control over them convinces the wicked to attack Jerusalem which at the end of the thousand years comes down out of heaven. As the wicked mount their attack, fire comes down out of heaven and the final executive judgment is accomplished.

Yog li no lub txhiab xyoo thiaj muaj txoj kev txiav txim tshuaj xyuas; thaum txoj kev ntawd tiav lawm, nws coj los txog txoj kev txiav txim kawg uas raug muab coj los ua, thaum cov neeg phem uas tuag lawm raug tsa sawv rov los, thiab Xatas, uas thaum ntawd muaj hwjchim tswj lawv tas nrho, dag ntxias cov neeg phem kom mus tawm tsam Yeluxalees uas thaum kawg ntawm ib txhiab xyoo nqes los saum ntuj los. Thaum cov neeg phem tab tom pib lawv qhov kev tawm tsam, hluav taws nqes saum ntuj los, thiab txoj kev txiav txim kawg uas raug muab coj los ua thiaj tiav hlo.

> And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Revelation 20:7–9.

> Thaum txhiab xyoo ntawd tas lawm, Xatas yuav raug tso tawm hauv nws lub tsev lojcuj, thiab nws yuav tawm mus dag ntxias cov haiv neeg uas nyob hauv plaub ceg kaum ntuj, yog Gog thiab Magog, kom sib sau lawv los ua rog; lawv coob npaum li cov xuab zeb ntawm ntug hiav txwv. Thiab lawv tau nce mus thoob plaws saum npoo av, thiab tuaj vij puag ncig lub yeej ntawm cov neeg dawb huv thiab lub nroog uas raug hlub; ces hluav taws nqes saum ntuj los ntawm Vajtswv los, thiab hlawv lawv pov tseg. Qhia Tshwm 20:7–9.

Though the triple applications of Elijah and the messenger that prepares for the Messenger of the Covenant to suddenly come to His temple are closely related, a distinction of their work can be noted in that Elijah is primarily identifying the work of the messenger, and the movement associated with the message of the messenger, that is accomplished during the executive judgment that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law. The messenger that prepares the way for the Messenger of the Covenant primarily identifies a work that is accomplished during the investigative judgment. Laodicean Adventism does not know the time of their visitation, which represents a specific time period of judgment.

Txawm hais tias peb npaug ntawm Eliyas thiab tus tub txib uas npaj kev rau Tus Tub Txib ntawm Txoj Lus Cog Tseg kom los rau Nws lub tuam tsev tam sim ntawd muaj kev sib raug zoo heev, los xij ib qho kev txawv ntawm lawv txoj hauj lwm kuj pom tau hais tias Eliyas feem ntau yog los txheeb xyuas txoj hauj lwm ntawm tus tub txib, thiab txoj kev txav uas txuas nrog tus tub txib txoj xov, uas raug ua tiav thaum lub sijhawm txiav txim hauv kev ua tiav uas pib ntawm txoj cai hnub Sunday uas yuav los sai no. Tus tub txib uas npaj kev rau Tus Tub Txib ntawm Txoj Lus Cog Tseg feem ntau yog los txheeb xyuas ib txoj hauj lwm uas raug ua tiav thaum lub sijhawm txiav txim tshawb xyuas. Kev Ntseeg Adventis Laodicea tsis paub lub sijhawm uas lawv raug los xyuas, uas sawv cev rau ib lub sijhawm tshwj xeeb ntawm kev txiav txim.

Neither do they understand the “present truth” message that is proclaimed during the time of their visitation. They were required to know both the judgment, and the message of those days. They were also required to know the messenger of that period of time. In their Laodicean blindness they oppose the message of the hour, deny the time of their visitation with a message of “peace and safety,” and are uncertain who the chosen messenger of that period is. This truth was clearly identified in the witness of the second Elijah, who was John the Baptist.

Lawv kuj tsis to taub txog txoj xov “qhov tseeb tam sim no” uas raug tshaj tawm nyob rau lub sijhawm uas lawv raug xyuas ntawd. Lawv raug hu kom paub ob yam tib si, yog txoj kev txiav txim, thiab txoj xov ntawm cov hnub ntawd. Lawv kuj raug hu kom paub tus tub txib ntawm lub sijhawm ntawd thiab. Hauv lawv txoj kev dig muag Laodicea, lawv tawm tsam txoj xov rau lub sijhawm ntawd, tsis lees paub lub sijhawm uas lawv raug xyuas los ntawm ib txoj xov hais txog “kev thaj yeeb thiab kev nyab xeeb,” thiab tseem tsis paub meej tias leej twg yog tus tub txib uas raug xaiv rau lub sijhawm ntawd. Qhov tseeb no tau raug qhia meej nyob rau hauv zaj lus tim khawv ntawm Eliyas tus thib ob, uas yog Yauhas tus uas muab neeg ua kevcai raus dej.

The Jews knew that prophecy identified a messenger to come, and Jesus directly taught that John was that messenger who was to come.

Cov Yudais paub tias tej lus faj lem tau qhia txog ib tug tub txib uas yuav los, thiab Yexus tau qhia ncaj qha tias Yauhas yog tus tub txib ntawd uas yuav los.

> For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 11:13–15.

> Vim rau qhov uas txhua tus cev Vajtswv lus thiab txoj kevcai twb cev yav tom ntej mus txog Yauhas. Thiab yog nej kam lees txais, nws no yog Eliyas, tus uas yuav los. Tus uas muaj pob ntseg hnov, cia nws mloog. Mathais 11:13–15.

At the very conclusion of the period of their visitation (the time in the history of Christ that typifies the soon-coming Sunday law), as Christ hung upon the cross the Jews conjectured whether Elijah would then come to save Jesus. If they did not recognize the messenger that was to prepare for the Messenger of the Covenant, that was then confirming the covenant with His own blood, they could not recognize their Messiah. Laodicean Adventism in the last days is required to know their judgment, which is the time of their visitation. They are required to recognize the message of that period of time, and they are required to recognize the chosen messenger of that time. The rebellion of 1888, represented September 11, 2001, when the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen descended. The rebels of 1888, refused to acknowledge the chosen messengers of the history that was typifying the last days.

Thaum kawg nkaus ntawm lub sijhawm uas lawv raug tuaj xyuas (lub sijhawm hauv keeb kwm ntawm Khetos uas ua ib yam piv txwv txog txoj cai Hnub Caiv uas yuav los sai sai), thaum Khetos dai saum ntoo khaub lig cov Yudais twv seb puas yog Eliyas yuav los cawm Yexus thaum ntawd. Yog lawv tsis lees paub tus tubtxib uas yuav npaj txojkev rau Tus Tubtxib ntawm Txoj Lus Cog Tseg, tus uas thaum ntawd tab tom lees paub txoj lus cog tseg ntawd los ntawm Nws tus kheej cov ntshav, ces lawv tsis muaj peev xwm lees paub lawv tus Mexiyas. Laodicea Adventism nyob rau hnub kawg raug hu kom paub lawv txoj kev txiav txim, uas yog lub sijhawm uas lawv raug tuaj xyuas. Lawv raug hu kom lees paub txoj xov ntawm lub sijhawm ntawd, thiab lawv raug hu kom lees paub tus tubtxib uas raug xaiv rau lub sijhawm ntawd. Kev ntxeev siab xyoo 1888, tau sawv cev los ntawm lub Cuaj Hlis 11, 2001, thaum tus tim tswv hauv Tshwmsim tshooj kaum yim nqes los. Cov neeg ntxeev siab xyoo 1888 tsis kam lees paub cov tubtxib uas raug xaiv nyob hauv keeb kwm uas tab tom ua piv txwv txog hnub kawg.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Peb yuav txuas ntxiv txoj kev kawm no hauv tsab xov xwm tom ntej.

> For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. Then took I the cup at the Lord’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me: To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts. Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. Jeremiah 25:15–33.

> Vim hais tias tus Tswv Vajtswv ntawm cov Yixayee hais li no rau kuv tias; Cia li txais lub khob cawv ntawm txoj kev npau taws no ntawm kuv txhais tes, thiab kom txhua haiv neeg uas kuv txib koj mus cuag, haus nws. Lawv yuav haus, thiab yuav qaug zog, thiab yuav chim vwm, vim yog rab ntaj uas kuv yuav xa los nyob hauv lawv nruab nrab. Ces kuv thiaj txais lub khob ntawm tus Tswv txhais tes, thiab ua kom txhua haiv neeg uas tus Tswv tau txib kuv mus cuag ntawd haus: yog Yeluxalees, thiab tej nroog hauv Yudas, thiab nws cov vajntxwv, thiab nws cov thawj coj, kom ua rau lawv poob ua chaw puam tsuaj, ua yam txaus ntshai, ua yam luag xuav thuam, thiab ua lus foom phem; ib yam li niaj hnub no; Falau vajntxwv ntawm tebchaws Iziv, thiab nws cov tub qhe, thiab nws cov thawj, thiab tag nrho nws haiv neeg; thiab txhua haiv neeg sib xyaw, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv hauv thaj av Uz, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv hauv thaj av cov Filixatee, thiab Ashkelon, thiab Azzah, thiab Ekron, thiab cov seem ntawm Ashdod, Edos, thiab Mo-as, thiab cov tub ntawm Amoos, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm Tirus, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm Xidoos, thiab cov vajntxwv ntawm cov kob uas nyob dhau hiav txwv, Dedan, thiab Tema, thiab Buz, thiab txhua tus uas nyob rau tej ces kaum deb kawg, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm Arabia, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm cov haiv neeg sib xyaw uas nyob hauv tebchaws moj sab qhua, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm Zimri, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm Elas, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm cov Medes, thiab txhua tus vajntxwv ntawm sab qaum teb, deb thiab ze, ib tug nrog ib tug, thiab tag nrho cov nceeg vaj hauv lub ntiajteb uas nyob saum npoo av: thiab vajntxwv ntawm Sheshach yuav haus tom qab lawv. Vim li ntawd koj yuav tsum hais rau lawv tias, Tus Tswv uas muaj hwjchim kav sawvdaws, tus Vajtswv ntawm cov Yixayee, hais li no; Nej cia li haus, thiab qaug cawv, thiab ntuav, thiab poob, thiab tsis sawv rov los lawm, vim yog rab ntaj uas kuv yuav xa los nyob hauv nej nruab nrab. Thiab yuav muaj li no, yog lawv tsis kam txais lub khob ntawm koj txhais tes los haus, ces koj yuav hais rau lawv tias, Tus Tswv uas muaj hwjchim kav sawvdaws hais li no; Nej yeej yuav tsum haus tiag. Rau qhov, saib seb, kuv pib coj kev phem los rau saum lub nroog uas hu raws li kuv lub npe, thiab nej puas yuav dim txim kiag li? Nej yuav tsis dim txim; rau qhov kuv yuav hu rab ntaj los tawm tsam txhua tus neeg nyob hauv ntiajteb no, tus Tswv uas muaj hwjchim kav sawvdaws hais li. Vim li ntawd, cia li cev lus faj lem tawm tsam lawv nrog txhua lo lus no, thiab hais rau lawv tias, Tus Tswv yuav nthe saum qhov siab, thiab yuav tsa nws lub suab tawm hauv nws lub chaw nyob dawb huv; nws yuav nthe nrov kawg tawm tsam nws lub chaw nyob; nws yuav qw nrov ib yam li cov uas tsuj txiv hmab, tawm tsam txhua tus neeg nyob hauv ntiajteb no. Ib lub suab nrov yuav tuaj mus txog rau ntiajteb kawg; rau qhov tus Tswv muaj rooj plaub nrog txhua haiv neeg, nws yuav txiav txim nrog txhua tus cev nqaij daim tawv; cov neeg phem nws yuav muab cob rau rab ntaj, tus Tswv hais li ntawd. Tus Tswv uas muaj hwjchim kav sawvdaws hais li no, Saib seb, kev phem yuav tawm mus ntawm ib haiv mus rau ib haiv, thiab ib qho cua daj cua dub loj yuav raug tsa los ntawm cov ciam teb kawg ntawm lub ntiajteb. Thiab cov uas tus Tswv tua yuav nyob rau hnub ntawd txij ib kawg ntawm lub ntiajteb mus txog rau lwm kawg ntawm lub ntiajteb: lawv yuav tsis raug quaj ntsuag, tsis raug khaws cia, los sis faus; lawv yuav zoo li quav chiv nyob saum npoo av. Yelemis 25:15–33.
