God never changes, and therefore Adventism is judged in its fourth generation.

Vajtswv yeej tsis hloov li, thiab vim li ntawd Adventism thiaj raug txiav txim hauv nws tiam plaub.

> “‘And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side; and the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.’

> “‘Nws hu rau tus txivneej uas hnav ntaub linen, tus uas muaj lub thawv cwj mem sau ntawv nyob ntawm nws ib sab; thiab tus Tswv hais rau nws tias, Cia li mus thoob plaws hauv nruab nrab lub nroog, yog hauv nruab nrab Yeluxalees, thiab cim ib lub cim rau saum pliaj ntawm cov txivneej uas quaj ntsuag thiab quaj thov vim txhua yam kev qias neeg uas raug ua nyob hauv nruab nrab ntawd. Hos rau lwm tus Nws hais hauv kuv lub suab hnov tias, Nej cia li raws nws mus thoob plaws hauv lub nroog, thiab muab nplawm tua: nej lub qhov muag txhob khuv leej, thiab nej txhob muaj kev hlub tshua li: cia li tua kom tuag tas nrho, cov laus thiab cov hluas, cov nkauj xwb, thiab cov menyuam yaus, thiab cov pojniam; tabsis txhob txav los ze ib tug neeg twg uas muaj lub cim nyob saum nws; thiab nej cia li pib ntawm Kuv lub chaw dawb huv. Ces lawv pib ntawm cov txivneej laus uas nyob ntawm xub ntiag lub tsev.’”

> “Jesus is about to leave the mercy seat of the heavenly sanctuary to put on garments of vengeance and pour out His wrath in judgments upon those who have not responded to the light God has given them. ‘Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.’ Instead of being softened by the patience and long forbearance that the Lord has exercised toward them, those who fear not God and love not the truth strengthen their hearts in their evil course. But there are limits even to the forbearance of God, and many are exceeding these boundaries. They have overrun the limits of grace, and therefore God must interfere and vindicate His own honor.

> “Yexus tab tom yuav tawm hauv lub zwm txwv ntawm txoj kev hlub tshua hauv lub tuam tsev dawb huv saum ntuj ceeb tsheej mus hnav tej tsoos tsho ntawm kev pauj txim thiab nchuav Nws txoj kev chim hauv tej kev txiav txim rau saum cov uas tsis tau teb rau txoj kev kaj uas Vajtswv tau pub rau lawv. ‘Vim txoj kev txiav txim rau ib txoj haujlwm phem tsis raug ua kom tiav sai, yog li ntawd tej tub ntawm neeg lub siab thiaj ruaj nrees rau hauv lawv kom ua phem.’ Tsis yog cia lawv lub siab muag mos los ntawm txoj kev ua siab ntev thiab txoj kev ua siab ntev ntev uas tus Tswv tau ua rau lawv, cov uas tsis ntshai Vajtswv thiab tsis hlub qhov tseeb kuj ua kom lawv lub siab khov zuj zus hauv lawv txoj kev phem. Tiamsis yeej muaj ciam txwv txawm rau Vajtswv txoj kev ua siab ntev thiab, thiab coob leej tab tom hla dhau cov ciam no lawm. Lawv tau hla dhau cov ciaj ciam ntawm txoj kev tshav ntuj lawm, yog li ntawd Vajtswv yuav tsum los cuam tshuam thiab txhawb Nws tus kheej lub meej mom.”

> “Of the Amorites the Lord said: ‘In the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.’ Although this nation was conspicuous because of its idolatry and corruption, it had not yet filled up the cup of its iniquity, and God would not give command for its utter destruction. The people were to see the divine power manifested in a marked manner, that they might be left without excuse. The compassionate Creator was willing to bear with their iniquity until the fourth generation. Then, if no change was seen for the better, His judgments were to fall upon them.

> “Vajtswv hais txog cov Amoosais, tus Tswv tau hais tias: ‘Nyob rau tiam plaub lawv yuav rov los ntawm no dua: rau qhov kev phem ntawm cov Amoosais tseem tsis tau puv nkaus.’ Txawm hais tias haiv neeg no yog ib haiv neeg uas pom tseeb tshwj xeeb vim lawv txoj kev pe dab pe mlom thiab kev qias vuab tsuab, los lawv tseem tsis tau ua kom lub khob ntawm lawv tej kev phem puv nkaus, thiab Vajtswv yuav tsis tau muab lus txib kom lawv raug rhuav tshem kom tu noob. Cov neeg ntawd yuav tsum pom txoj hwjchim saum ntuj ceeb tsheej tshwm sim los kom meej thiab pom tseeb, xwv kom lawv yuav raug tso tseg tsis muaj lus zam. Tus Tsimtxiaj uas muaj kev khuv leej yeej kam ua siab ntev nrog lawv tej kev phem mus txog tiam plaub. Ces, yog tias tsis pom muaj kev hloov pauv mus rau qhov zoo dua, Nws cov kev txiav txim yuav poob los rau saum lawv.”

> “With unerring accuracy the Infinite One still keeps an account with all nations. While His mercy is tendered with calls to repentance, this account will remain open; but when the figures reach a certain amount which God has fixed, the ministry of His wrath commences. The account is closed. Divine patience ceases. There is no more pleading of mercy in their behalf.

> “Nrog txoj kev raug nraim uas tsis yuam kev li, Tus Uas Tsis Muaj Kawg tseem khaws ib phau lej nrog txhua haiv neeg. Thaum Nws txoj kev khuv leej tseem raug nthuav tawm nrog tej lus hu kom hloov siab lees txim, phau lej no yuav tseem qhib nyob; tiam sis thaum cov zauv nce mus txog ib qho nyiaj uas Vajtswv twb tau teem tseg lawm, ces tes haujlwm ntawm Nws txoj kev chim pib. Phau lej raug kaw. Txoj kev ua siab ntev saum ntuj ceeb tsheej xaus tseg. Tsis muaj kev thov khuv leej ntxiv lawm rau lawv txoj hauj lwm.”

> “The prophet, looking down the ages, had this time presented before his vision. The nations of this age have been the recipients of unprecedented mercies. The choicest of heaven’s blessings have been given them, but increased pride, covetousness, idolatry, contempt of God, and base ingratitude are written against them. They are fast closing up their account with God.

> “Tus xibhwb cev Vajtswv, thaum ntsia hla cov tiam dhau tiam, tau pom lub sijhawm no nthuav tawm rau ntawm nws lub zeem muag. Cov tebchaws ntawm tiam no tau txais tej kev hlub tshua uas tsis tau muaj dua li. Cov koob hmoov uas xaiv zoo tshaj plaws ntawm ntuj ceeb tsheej tau muab rau lawv lawm, tiamsis kev khav theeb uas loj hlob ntxiv, kev ntshaw nyiaj txiag, kev pe hawm dab mlom, kev saib tsis taus Vajtswv, thiab kev ua neeg tsis txawj ua tsaug uas qias neeg, raug sau tseg tawm tsam lawv. Lawv tabtom maj nroos kaw lawv tej ntaub ntawv nrog Vajtswv.”

> “But that which causes me to tremble is the fact that those who have had the greatest light and privileges have become contaminated by the prevailing iniquity. Influenced by the unrighteous around them, many, even of those who profess the truth, have grown cold and are borne down by the strong current of evil. The universal scorn thrown upon true piety and holiness leads those who do not connect closely with God to lose their reverence for His law. If they were following the light and obeying the truth from the heart, this holy law would seem even more precious to them when thus despised and set aside. As the disrespect for God’s law becomes more manifest, the line of demarcation between its observers and the world becomes more distinct. Love for the divine precepts increases with one class according as contempt for them increases with another class.

> “Tab sis yam uas ua rau kuv tshee hnyo yog qhov tseeb tias cov uas tau txais qhov kaj thiab tej cai tshwj xeeb ntau tshaj plaws twb raug paug los ntawm txoj kev txhaum phem uas kav thoob plaws lawm. Vim raug cov neeg tsis ncaj ncees nyob ib puag ncig lawv cuam tshuam, coob leej, txawm yog ntawm cov uas lees hais tias tuav qhov tseeb los xij, twb txias zuj zus lawm thiab raug tus dej ntws muaj zog ntawm kev phem rub nqes mus. Kev saib tsis taus uas muaj thoob plaws rau txoj kev hwm Vajtswv tiag thiab kev dawb huv coj cov uas tsis txuas ze nrog Vajtswv kom plam lawv txoj kev hwm rau Nws txoj kevcai. Yog lawv tab tom taug raws qhov kaj thiab mloog lus rau qhov tseeb los ntawm lub siab, txoj kevcai dawb huv no yuav zoo muaj nqis dua rau lawv ntxiv thaum raug saib tsis taus thiab raug muab tso tseg li no. Raws li txoj kev tsis hwm Vajtswv txoj kevcai pom tseeb dua ntxiv, txoj kab cais ntawm cov uas ceev faj raws nws thiab lub ntiajteb thiaj pom txawv meej dua. Kev hlub rau tej lus txib saum ntuj nce ntxiv hauv ib pab neeg raws li kev saib tsis taus lawv nce ntxiv hauv lwm pab neeg.”

> “The crisis is fast approaching. The rapidly swelling figures show that the time for God’s visitation has about come. Although loath to punish, nevertheless He will punish, and that speedily. Those who walk in the light will see signs of the approaching peril; but they are not to sit in quiet, unconcerned expectancy of the ruin, comforting themselves with the belief that God will shelter His people in the day of visitation. Far from it. They should realize that it is their duty to labor diligently to save others, looking with strong faith to God for help. ‘The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.’

> “Qhov kev kub ntxhov tab tom los txog sai heev. Cov lej uas tab tom nce zuj zus sai qhia tias lub sij hawm rau Vajtswv txoj kev tuaj xyuas twb yuav txog lawm. Txawm yog Nws tsis xav rau txim los xij, txawm li ntawd los Nws yuav rau txim, thiab yuav ua sai heev. Cov uas taug kev hauv qhov kaj yuav pom tej cim ntawm txoj kev phom sij uas tab tom los ze; tab sis lawv tsis txhob zaum ntsiag to, tsis quav ntsej tos ntsoov saib kev puam tsuaj ntawd, ua siab nplij lawv tus kheej nrog txoj kev ntseeg tias Vajtswv yuav thaiv Nws haiv neeg rau hnub ntawm txoj kev tuaj xyuas. Tsis yog li ntawd kiag li. Lawv yuav tsum paub tseeb tias yog lawv tes dej num kom siv zog khwv kawg siab kawg ntsws cawm lwm tus, ntsia ntsoov rau Vajtswv nrog txoj kev ntseeg ruaj khov thov Nws txoj kev pab. ‘Tus neeg ncaj ncees txoj kev thov Vajtswv uas kub siab thiab muaj txiaj ntsig ua tau ntau heev.’”

> “The leaven of godliness has not entirely lost its power. At the time when the danger and depression of the church are greatest, the little company who are standing in the light will be sighing and crying for the abominations that are done in the land. But more especially will their prayers arise in behalf of the church because its members are doing after the manner of the world.

> “Poov xab ntawm kev ua neeg dawb huv tseem tsis tau ploj nws lub hwj chim tag nrho. Thaum txog lub sijhawm uas txoj kev phom sij thiab kev poob siab ntawm pawg ntseeg loj tshaj plaws, pab pawg me uas tab tom sawv hauv qhov kaj yuav quaj ntsuag thiab quaj thov vim tej kev qias neeg uas raug ua nyob hauv lub tebchaws. Tiamsis qhov tshwj xeeb tshaj plaws, lawv tej lus thov yuav nce mus sawv cev rau pawg ntseeg, vim nws cov tswvcuab tab tom ua raws li tus yam ntxwv ntawm lub ntiajteb.”

> “The earnest prayers of this faithful few will not be in vain. When the Lord comes forth as an avenger, He will also come as a protector of all those who have preserved the faith in its purity and kept themselves unspotted from the world. It is at this time that God has promised to avenge His own elect which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them.

> “Cov lus thov mob siab tiag tiag ntawm pab neeg ncaj ncees tsawg tus no yuav tsis mus dawb. Thaum tus Tswv tawm los ua tus pauj, Nws kuj yuav tawm los ua tus tiv thaiv rau txhua tus uas tau khaws cia txoj kev ntseeg nyob rau hauv nws txoj kev dawb huv thiab tau ceev lawv tus kheej kom tsis muaj kev qias neeg ntawm lub ntiaj teb no. Yog nyob rau lub sijhawm no uas Vajtswv tau cog lus tias yuav pauj rau Nws cov neeg uas Nws tau xaiv, cov uas quaj hu rau Nws nruab hnub thiab hmo ntuj, txawm yog Nws tau ua siab ntev rau lawv ntev los lawm.”

> “The command is: ‘Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.’ These sighing, crying ones had been holding forth the words of life; they had reproved, counseled, and entreated. Some who had been dishonoring God repented and humbled their hearts before Him. But the glory of the Lord had departed from Israel; although many still continued the forms of religion, His power and presence were lacking.” Testimonies, volume 5, 207–210.

> “Lo lus txib yog: ‘Cia li mus dhau hauv nruab nrab lub nroog, hauv nruab nrab Yeluxalees, thiab muab ib lub cim rau saum hauv pliaj ntawm cov txivneej uas quaj ntsuag thiab quaj hu rau tag nrho tej kev qias neeg uas raug ua nyob hauv nws nruab nrab.’ Cov uas quaj ntsuag thiab quaj hu no tau nthuav tawm tej lus ntawm txoj sia; lawv tau cem, tau ntuas, thiab tau thov yaum. Ib txhia uas tau ua rau Vajtswv poob meej mom tau hloov siab lees txim thiab txo lawv lub siab rau ntawm Nws xub ntiag. Tiamsis tus Tswv lub hwjchim ci ntsa iab tau ncaim ntawm cov Yixayee lawm; txawm muaj coob leej tseem pheej tuav rawv tej qauv kev ntseeg, Nws lub hwjchim thiab Nws lub xub ntiag twb tsis muaj lawm.” Testimonies, volume 5, 207–210.

The illustration of God’s judgment that Sister White is identifying in the passage is the judgment brought upon the city of Jerusalem, which in the last days is the Seventh-day Adventist church. The judgment is finalized at the Sunday law, for it is there that the seal of God and mark of the beast are impressed. Ezekiel chapter eight identifies four escalating abominations. The first verse emphasizes the vision is to be understood just before probation closes by identifying the fifth day of the sixth month of the sixth year.

Daim duab piv txwv txog Vajtswv txoj kev txiav txim uas Muam White tab tom taw qhia hauv nqe lus ntawd yog txoj kev txiav txim uas raug coj los rau saum lub nroog Yeluxalees, uas nyob rau hauv hnub kawg yog pawg ntseeg Xya-Hnub Ntxoov Ntxoo. Txoj kev txiav txim ntawd raug muab ua tiav kawg nkaus thaum txoj cai Hnub Chiv los txog, rau qhov yog nyob ntawd uas Vajtswv lub cim thiab tsiaj qus lub cim raug muab ntaus rau. Exekees tshooj yim qhia txog plaub yam kev qias neeg uas nce zuj zus. Nqe thawj hais meej tias yuav tsum to taub zaj yog toog no nyob ze ua ntej lub sij hawm sim siab kaw, los ntawm kev txheeb qhia hnub thib tsib ntawm lub hlis thib rau ntawm xyoo thib rau.

Ezekiel did not need to include that historical point of reference. He could have simply written, “And it came to pass as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.” The fact that he included the reference to the day before “666,” is a prophetic reference for students of prophecy. The reference for those who have the victory of the number of the beast’s name know “666,” is an element of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which is unsealed just before probation closes. They know this for they are the people of God, that according to Peter, “in times past were not the people of God.”

Exekees tsis tas yuav tsum muab qhov chij taw qhia txog keeb kwm ntawd tso rau hauv. Nws yeej tsuas sau tau li no xwb hais tias, “Thiab tau muaj tias thaum kuv zaum hauv kuv tsev, thiab cov txwj laus ntawm Yudas zaum ntawm kuv xub ntiag, ces txhais tes ntawm tus Tswv Vajtswv tau poob los rau saum kuv nyob ntawd.” Qhov uas nws tau muab qhov taw qhia mus rau hnub ua ntej “666,” yog ib qho kev taw qhia raws li yaj saub rau cov tub kawm txog tej lus faj lem. Qhov kev taw qhia ntawd yog rau cov uas muaj yeej dhau tus naj npawb ntawm lub npe ntawm tus tsiaj qus uas paub “666,” yog ib feem ntawm Kev Qhia Tshwm ntawm Yexus Khetos, uas raug qhib tawm tsis pub leejtwg paub lawm ua ntej lub sijhawm txiav txim siab rau tibneeg xaus. Lawv paub qhov no vim lawv yog Vajtswv haiv neeg, uas raws li Petus hais tias, “thaum ub nej tsis yog Vajtswv haiv neeg.”

In 1 Peter chapter two the people who are now the people of God, “have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” They are those who have prophetically “eaten” the word of God, as opposed to those who refused to eat the word of God. All the prophets speak of the last days, and in John chapter six, Jesus gave the message that His disciples must eat His flesh and drink His blood. In that chapter the disciples that refused to eat His flesh and drink His blood, did so in verse sixty-six.

Hauv 1 Petus tshooj ob, cov uas tam sim no yog haiv neeg ntawm Vajtswv, “tau saj tias tus Tswv muaj txoj kev siab dawb siab zoo.” Lawv yog cov uas raws li lus cev Vajtswv lus tau “noj” Vajtswv txoj lus, txawv ntawm cov uas tsis kam noj Vajtswv txoj lus. Tas nrho cov cev Vajtswv lus txhua tus hais txog hnub kawg, thiab hauv Yauhas tshooj rau, Yexus tau qhia tias Nws cov thwjtim yuav tsum noj Nws cev nqaij daim tawv thiab haus Nws cov ntshav. Hauv tshooj ntawd, cov thwjtim uas tsis kam noj Nws cev nqaij daim tawv thiab haus Nws cov ntshav tau ua li ntawd hauv nqe rau caum rau.

> From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. John 6:66.

> Txij thaum ntawd los, coob leej ntawm nws cov thwjtim tig rov qab mus, thiab tsis nrog nws mus ntxiv lawm. Yauhas 6:66.

The wise who eat the flesh and drink the blood of Christ in the last days, understand that Christ as Palmoni, is the Wonderful Numberer, and they recognize His signature when it is presented. The number “665,” in the opening verse of Ezekiel eight, is there, for any who wish to see, that it is identifying at least two important prophetic points. The first is that the message is to be understood as covering a period of time before the Sunday law. The second is that the number “666” is in one of only two verses in the book of Revelation, that is qualified by identifying that the “wise” would understand in the last days.

Cov neeg txawj ntse uas noj Khetos cev nqaij daim tawv thiab haus Nws cov ntshav nyob rau hnub kawg, nkag siab tias Khetos raws li Palmoni, yog tus Leej Twg Muaj Txuj Ci Loj kawg uas suav tej lej, thiab lawv paub Nws lub cim kos npe thaum muab nthuav tawm. Tus lej “665,” nyob hauv nqe qhib ntawm Exekees yim, nyob ntawd rau txhua tus uas xav pom, tias nws tab tom qhia kom paub tsawg kawg ob lub ntsiab lus tseem ceeb hauv lus faj lem. Qhov thawj yog tias zaj lus no yuav tsum to taub tias npog ib ncua sij hawm ua ntej txoj cai Sunday. Qhov ob yog tias tus lej “666” nyob hauv ib ntawm ob nqe xwb hauv phau Qhia Tshwm, uas raug qhia meej ntxiv los ntawm kev txheeb tias cov “neeg txawj ntse” yuav nkag siab nyob rau hnub kawg.

> Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18.

> Nov yog kev txawj ntse. Cia tus uas muaj kev nkag siab suav tus lej ntawm tus tsiaj qus: rau qhov nws yog tus lej ntawm ib tug neeg; thiab nws tus lej yog Rau pua rau caum rau. Tshwmsim 13:18.

The “wise” who understand the increase of knowledge in the last days, when the Revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed will know that “666,” is an important prophetic symbol for they will have gotten victory over the number. Ezekiel therefore introduces an escalating rebellion in chapter eight, that is represented by four increasing abominations. The final identifies the foolish as bowing down to the sun, thus marking the judgment of Jerusalem (Adventism), in the last days. That judgment takes place in the fourth generation. The four abominations are the symbols of the four generations of Laodicean Adventism.

Cov “muaj tswvyim” uas to taub txog kev nce ntxiv ntawm txoj kev paub nyob rau hnub kawg, thaum phau Tshwm Sim txog Yexus Khetos raug qhib nws lub cim, yuav paub tias “666” yog ib lub cim qhia yav tom ntej uas tseem ceeb, rau qhov lawv twb tau yeej tus lej ntawd lawm. Yog li ntawd Exekees thiaj nthuav qhia ib qho kev ntxeev siab uas nce zuj zus hauv tshooj yim, uas raug sawv cev los ntawm plaub yam qias neeg uas nce ntxiv. Qhov kawg qhia cov neeg ruam tias lawv pe hawm lub hnub, yog li cim rau kev txiav txim rau Yeluxalees (Adventism), nyob rau hnub kawg. Txoj kev txiav txim ntawd tshwm sim nyob rau tiam plaub. Plaub yam qias neeg ntawd yog cov cim ntawm plaub tiam ntawm Laodicean Adventism.

The first generation began in 1863, with the rebellion against Moses’ oath of “seven times.” Twenty-five years later, the rebellion of 1888 was manifested. Thirty-one years later the rebellion of 1919 occurred, represented by W. W. Prescott’s book, “The Doctrine of Christ”. Thirty-eight years after that, in 1957, the rebellion represented by the book, “Questions on Doctrine” took place. We will now begin to demonstrate why these four waymarks align with the four abominations of Ezekiel eight.

Thawj tiam thawj zaug tau pib rau xyoo 1863, nrog txoj kev ntxeev siab tawm tsam Mauxes lo lus cog tseg ntawm “xya zaug.” Nees nkaum tsib xyoos tom qab ntawd, txoj kev ntxeev siab ntawm 1888 tau tshwm sim tawm los. Peb caug ib xyoos tom qab ntawd, txoj kev ntxeev siab ntawm 1919 tau muaj tshwm sim, sawv cev los ntawm W. W. Prescott phau ntawv, “The Doctrine of Christ”. Peb caug yim xyoos tom qab ntawd, xyoo 1957, txoj kev ntxeev siab uas sawv cev los ntawm phau ntawv, “Questions on Doctrine” tau muaj tshwm sim. Tam sim no peb yuav pib qhia meej tias yog vim li cas plaub lub cim ciam teb no thiaj sib haum nrog plaub yam qias neeg hauv Exekees yim.

In 1863, Laodicean Adventism introduced a new chart to replace the two charts that were fulfillments of Habakkuk chapter two’s command to, “write the vision and make it plain upon tables.” The 1863 chart dropped the “seven times” from the prophetic illustration, as it had been on the two sacred charts along with the 1260, 1290, and 1335. In Habakkuk the command identified that the tables (in the plural) would be published in a fashion that, “he may run that readeth it.” The 1863 chart was so far off the mark, that it required a handout of explanation to go with it. It was not possible to look at the 1863 chart and “run” without an extra handout.

Xyoo 1863, Laodicean Adventism tau nthuav ib daim chart tshiab los hloov ob daim chart uas yog kev ua kom tiav ntawm lo lus txib hauv Habakkuk tshooj ob hais tias, “sau lub zeem muag thiab ua kom meej rau saum tej daim txiag.” Daim chart xyoo 1863 tau tshem tawm “xya lub sijhawm” ntawm daim duab yaj saub, uas yav tas los tau nyob rau ntawm ob daim chart dawb huv nrog rau 1260, 1290, thiab 1335. Hauv Habakkuk lo lus txib ntawd tau qhia meej tias cov daim txiag ntawd (hauv ntau daim) yuav raug luam tawm nyob rau hauv ib yam uas, “kom tus uas nyeem tau nws khiav.” Daim chart xyoo 1863 ntawd yuam kev deb kawg li ntawm lub hom phiaj uas nws yuav tsum tau muaj ib daim ntawv piav qhia ntxiv los nrog nws. Tsis muaj peev xwm saib daim chart xyoo 1863 ntawd thiab “khiav” tau yam tsis muaj ib daim ntawv piav qhia ntxiv.

> And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2:2.

> Thiab tus Tswv teb kuv, thiab hais tias, Sau lub zeem muag no, thiab ua kom meej rau saum cov phaj, xwv kom tus uas nyeem tau nws yuav khiav. Habakkuk 2:2.

The 1863, chart was a counterfeit designed to cover up the true, just as William Miller saw in his dream. The two sacred charts were the symbol of the covenant that Christ made with the people who had just taken the position as the true Protestant horn of the earth beast. Those two charts represented a symbol of the covenant relationship between the Millerites and Christ, who suddenly came to His temple in 1844, and when He came, He came as the Messenger of the Covenant. Ancient Israel illustrates modern Israel, and when Christ took ancient Israel out of the bondage of Egypt, He typified the time when He was to take modern Israel out of the bondage of twelve hundred and sixty years of papal rule. Sister White repeatedly upholds these two histories as parallel histories.

Daim duab kos xyoo 1863 yog ib daim cuav uas raug npaj los npog qhov tseeb, ib yam li William Miller tau pom hauv nws zaj npau suav. Ob daim duab kos dawb huv ntawd yog lub cim ntawm txoj kev khi lus uas Khetos tau cog nrog cov neeg uas nyuam qhuav tau sawv los tuav txoj hauj lwm ua lub horn Protestant tseeb ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum hauv ntiajteb. Ob daim duab kos ntawd sawv cev ua lub cim ntawm txoj kev sib raug zoo ntawm kev khi lus ntawm cov Millerites thiab Khetos, tus uas tau los rau Nws lub tuam tsev tam sim ntawd hauv xyoo 1844, thiab thaum Nws los, Nws los ua Tus Tubtxib ntawm Txoj Kev Khi Lus. Cov Yixayee thaum ub yog tus piv txwv qhia txog cov Yixayee niaj hnub no, thiab thaum Khetos coj cov Yixayee thaum ub tawm hauv txoj kev ua qhev hauv tebchaws Iyi tebchaws, Nws tau ua ib yam ntxwv qhia txog lub sijhawm uas Nws yuav coj cov Yixayee niaj hnub no tawm hauv txoj kev ua qhev ntawm ib txhiab ob puas rau caum xyoo ntawm papal rule. Muam White rov hais dua ntau zaus los txhawb ob zaj keeb kwm no tias yog ob zaj keeb kwm uas sib txig sib luag.

> “Upon us is shining the accumulated light of past ages. The record of Israel’s forgetfulness has been preserved for our enlightenment. In this age God has set His hand to gather unto Himself a people from every nation, kindred, and tongue. In the advent movement He has wrought for His heritage, even as He wrought for the Israelites in leading them from Egypt. In the great disappointment of 1844 the faith of His people was tested as was that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea.” Testimonies, volume 8, 115, 116.

> “Saum peb tab tom ci los ntawm txoj kev kaj uas tau sau khaws los ntawm tej tiam neej yav dhau los. Zaj keeb kwm txog cov neeg Ixayees txoj kev tsis nco qab tau raug khaws cia tseg rau peb txoj kev pom kev. Hauv tiam no Vajtswv tau tsa Nws txhais tes los sau ib haiv neeg los cuag Nws tus kheej tawm hauv txhua haiv neeg, txhua xeem, thiab txhua yam lus. Hauv txoj kev txav los ntawm kev los txog Nws tau ua haujlwm rau Nws lub cuab tam qub txeeg qub teg, ib yam li Nws tau ua haujlwm rau cov neeg Ixayees thaum coj lawv tawm hauv tebchaws Iziv. Hauv txoj kev chim siab loj xyoo 1844 txoj kev ntseeg ntawm Nws haiv neeg raug sim ib yam li ntawm cov Henplais ntawm Hiavtxwv Liab.” Testimonies, volume 8, 115, 116.

When the Lord entered into covenant with ancient Israel, He gave two tables to represent the covenant relationship. When the Lord entered into covenant with modern Israel, He gave two tables to represent the covenant relationship. The two tables of the Ten Commandments typify Habakkuk’s two tables. He gave them the two tables shortly after the Red Sea crossing, which Sister White aligns with the great disappointment of 1844. Shortly after 1844, in terms of prophetic history, the Lord produced the second table. Ancient Israel was made the depositaries of God’s law, and modern Israel was made the depositaries of not only God’s law, but also those great prophetic truths.

Thaum tus Tswv tau nkag los rau hauv kev cog lus nrog cov Yixayee thaum ub, Nws tau muab ob daim phiaj los sawv cev rau txoj kev sib raug zoo ntawm txoj kev cog lus ntawd. Thaum tus Tswv tau nkag los rau hauv kev cog lus nrog cov Yixayee tiam kawg no, Nws tau muab ob daim phiaj los sawv cev rau txoj kev sib raug zoo ntawm txoj kev cog lus ntawd. Ob daim phiaj ntawm Kaum Lo Lus Txib yog ib yam piv txwv txog ob daim phiaj ntawm Habakkuk. Nws tau muab ob daim phiaj ntawd rau lawv tsis ntev tom qab lawv hla Hiav Txwv Liab, uas Sister White muab los sib haum nrog txoj kev poob siab loj ntawm xyoo 1844. Tsis ntev tom qab xyoo 1844, raws li keeb kwm ntawm yaj saub txoj lus faj lem, tus Tswv tau tsim daim phiaj thib ob. Cov Yixayee thaum ub raug tsa los ua cov uas khaws cia Vajtswv txoj kevcai, thiab cov Yixayee tiam kawg no raug tsa los ua cov uas khaws cia tsis yog Vajtswv txoj kevcai xwb, tiam sis kuj khaws cia cov tseeb loj ntawm txoj lus faj lem thiab.

> “God has called His church in this day, as He called ancient Israel, to stand as a light in the earth. By the mighty cleaver of truth, the messages of the first, second, and third angels, He has separated them from the churches and from the world to bring them into a sacred nearness to Himself. He has made them the depositaries of His law and has committed to them the great truths of prophecy for this time. Like the holy oracles committed to ancient Israel, these are a sacred trust to be communicated to the world.” Testimonies, volume 5, 455.

> “Vajtswv tau hu Nws pawg ntseeg nyob rau hnub nyoog no, ib yam li Nws tau hu cov Yixayee thaum ub, kom sawv ua qhov kaj rau hauv ntiajteb. Los ntawm rab riam loj thiab muaj hwjchim ntawm qhov tseeb, yog cov lus ntawm thawj tug timtswv, tus thib ob, thiab tus thib peb, Nws tau cais lawv tawm ntawm cov pawg ntseeg thiab tawm ntawm lub ntiajteb kom coj lawv los nyob hauv kev nyob ze dawb huv rau Nws tus kheej. Nws tau tsa lawv ua cov neeg khaws cia Nws txoj kevcai thiab tau muab cov qhov tseeb loj ntawm tej lus faj lem rau lub sijhawm no rau lawv. Ib yam li cov lus dawb huv uas tau muab rau cov Yixayee thaum ub, cov no yog ib qho kev tso siab dawb huv uas yuav tsum muab tshaj tawm rau lub ntiajteb.” Testimonies, volume 5, 455.

The first two Commandments identify God’s hatred for idolatry, and in those first two Commandments He identifies that judgment is carried out unto the third and fourth generations, for He identifies that He is a jealous God.

Ob thawj ob lo lus txib qhia kom pom Vajtswv txoj kev ntxub kev pe dab pe mlom, thiab nyob rau hauv ob lo lus txib thawj ntawd Nws qhia tias txoj kev txiav txim raug ua mus txog tiam peb thiab tiam plaub, rau qhov Nws qhia tias Nws yog ib tug Vajtswv khib xeeb.

> “The law was not spoken at this time exclusively for the benefit of the Hebrews. God honored them by making them the guardians and keepers of His law, but it was to be held as a sacred trust for the whole world. The precepts of the Decalogue are adapted to all mankind, and they were given for the instruction and government of all. Ten precepts, brief, comprehensive, and authoritative, cover the duty of man to God and to his fellow man; and all based upon the great fundamental principle of love. ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.’ Luke 10:27. See also Deuteronomy 6:4, 5; Leviticus 19:18. In the Ten Commandments these principles are carried out in detail, and made applicable to the condition and circumstances of man.

> “Txoj kevcai tsis tau raug hais tawm rau lub sijhawm no tsuas yog rau qhov txiaj ntsig ntawm cov Henplais xwb. Vajtswv tau qhuas lawv los ntawm kev tsa lawv ua cov neeg saib xyuas thiab khaws Nws txoj kevcai, tiamsis nws yuav tsum raug tuav cia ua ib txoj kev ntseeg siab dawb huv rau tag nrho lub ntiajteb. Cov lus qhuab qhia ntawm Kaum Lo Lus Txib raug tsim kom phim rau txhua tus tibneeg, thiab lawv tau raug muab los ua kev qhuab qhia thiab kev tswj kav rau sawvdaws. Kaum lo lus qhuab qhia, luv, dav txaus, thiab muaj hwjchim txib, npog tas tibneeg lub luag haujlwm rau Vajtswv thiab rau nws cov kwvtij tibneeg; thiab txhua yam ntawd puav leej tsa saum lub hauv paus ntsiab cai loj kawg nkaus ntawm kev hlub. ‘Koj yuav tsum hlub tus Tswv uas yog koj tus Vajtswv kawg siab kawg ntsws, kawg koj lub zog, thiab kawg koj lub tswvyim; thiab hlub koj tus kwvtij ib yam li koj hlub koj tus kheej.’ Luka 10:27. Saib ntxiv kuj muaj Kevcai 6:4, 5; Levis Kevcai 19:18. Hauv Kaum Nqe Kevcai no, cov ntsiab cai no raug nthuav tawm kom meej tshwj xeeb, thiab raug ua kom siv tau rau tibneeg lub neej, nws txoj xwm txheej, thiab tej yam ib puag ncig nws.”

> “‘Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.’

> “‘Koj yuav tsum tsis txhob muaj lwm tus vajtswv nyob ntawm Kuv xub ntiag.’

> “Jehovah, the eternal, self-existent, uncreated One, Himself the Source and Sustainer of all, is alone entitled to supreme reverence and worship. Man is forbidden to give to any other object the first place in his affections or his service. Whatever we cherish that tends to lessen our love for God or to interfere with the service due Him, of that do we make a god.

> “Yehauvas, tus uas nyob mus ib txhis, muaj nyob ntawm Nws tus kheej, tsis tau raug tsim, thiab yog Nws tus kheej yog lub Chaw Keeb thiab tus Txhawb Nqa txhua yam, tsuas yog Nws tib leeg xwb thiaj tsim nyog txais kev hwm thiab kev pe hawm siab tshaj plaws. Tibneeg raug txwv tsis pub muab qhov chaw xub thawj hauv nws txoj kev hlub lossis hauv nws txoj kev ua haujlwm qhev rau ib yam khoom twg ntxiv. Txhua yam uas peb khaws cia muaj nqes uas ua rau peb txoj kev hlub rau Vajtswv nqis qis los sis cuam tshuam txoj haujlwm uas tsim nyog ua rau Nws, yam ntawd peb twb tsa ua ib tug vajtswv lawm.”

> “‘Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.’

> “Koj yuav tsum tsis txhob ua ib tug mlom puab rau koj tus kheej, lossis ib yam duab zoo li ib yam dabtsi uas nyob saum ntuj, lossis uas nyob hauv ntiajteb hauv qab no, lossis uas nyob hauv dej hauv qab ntiajteb no; koj yuav tsum tsis txhob pe lawv, thiab tsis txhob teev hawm lawv.”

> “The second commandment forbids the worship of the true God by images or similitudes. Many heathen nations claimed that their images were mere figures or symbols by which the Deity was worshiped, but God has declared such worship to be sin. The attempt to represent the Eternal One by material objects would lower man’s conception of God. The mind, turned away from the infinite perfection of Jehovah, would be attracted to the creature rather than to the Creator. And as his conceptions of God were lowered, so would man become degraded.

> “Lo lus txib thib ob txwv tsis pub pe hawm tus Vajtswv tseeb los ntawm tej duab lossis tej yam zoo ib yam. Ntau haiv neeg teev dab qhuas tau hais tias lawv cov duab tsuas yog tej yam sawv cev lossis tej cim uas siv los pe hawm tus Vajtswv xwb, tiam sis Vajtswv twb tshaj tawm lawm tias kev pe hawm zoo li ntawd yog kev txhaum. Kev sim sawv cev rau Tus Nyob Mus Ib Txhis los ntawm tej yam khoom siv cev nqaij daim tawv yuav txo tibneeg txoj kev nkag siab txog Vajtswv nqes. Lub siab, tig mus deb ntawm Yehauvas txoj kev zoo tag nrho uas tsis muaj ciam, yuav raug ntxias mus rau tus tsiaj tsim dua li mus rau Tus Tsim. Thiab raws li nws txoj kev xav txog Vajtswv raug txo nqes li ntawd, tibneeg los yuav raug qias neeg thiab poob qis ib yam nkaus.”

> “‘I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.’ The close and sacred relation of God to His people is represented under the figure of marriage. Idolatry being spiritual adultery, the displeasure of God against it is fitly called jealousy.” Patriarchs and Prophets, 305, 306.

> “‘Kuv yog tus Tswv uas yog koj tus Vajtswv, yog ib tug Vajtswv khib.’ Kev sib raug zoo uas nyob ze thiab dawb huv ntawm Vajtswv nrog Nws haiv neeg raug sawv cev los ntawm daim duab ntawm kev sib yuav. Vim kev pe dab mlom yog kev deev luag poj luag txiv ntawm sab ntsuj plig, Vajtswv txoj kev tsis txaus siab tawm tsam nws thiaj raug hu kom tsim nyog tias yog kev khib.” Patriarchs and Prophets, 305, 306.

God’s jealousy is especially manifested against idolatry, and it is not a coincidence that the first abomination in Ezekiel chapter eight is “an image of jealousy.”

Kev khib ntawm Vajtswv tshwj xeeb yog tshwm los tawm tsam kev pe dab pe mlom, thiab tsis yog ib qho xwm txheej lam tau lam tshwm uas thawj qhov qias vuab tsuab hauv Ezekiel tshooj yim yog “ib tug mlom ua rau muaj kev khib.”

> And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. Ezekiel 8:1–5.

> Thiab tau muaj tias nyob rau xyoo thib rau, hauv lub hlis thib rau, hnub thib tsib ntawm lub hlis ntawd, thaum kuv zaum hauv kuv lub tsev, thiab cov txwj laus ntawm Yudas zaum ntawm kuv xub ntiag, ces tus Tswv Vajtswv txhais tes los nyob saum kuv rau ntawd. Ces kuv ntsia saib, thiab saib seb, muaj ib tug yam ntxwv zoo li qhov tshwm sim ntawm hluav taws: txij ntawm qhov zoo li nws lub duav nqes mus, yog hluav taws; thiab txij ntawm nws lub duav nce mus, zoo li qhov tshwm sim ntawm kev ci ntsa iab, zoo li xim daj vog. Thiab nws ncab tawm ib daim duab zoo li tes, thiab muab kuv tuav ntawm ib pluaj plaub hau ntawm kuv taub hau; ces tus Ntsuj Plig tsa kuv sawv nruab nrab ntawm lub ntiaj teb thiab saum ntuj, thiab coj kuv los rau hauv Yeluxalees hauv Vajtswv tej yog toog pom, mus rau ntawm qhov rooj ntawm lub rooj vag sab hauv uas tig mus rau sab qaum teb; qhov chaw uas muaj lub zwm txwv ntawm tus mlom khib, uas ua kom muaj kev khib. Thiab saib seb, Vajtswv ntawm Yixayee lub hwjchim ci ntsa iab nyob ntawd, raws li yog toog pom uas kuv tau pom hauv lub tiaj. Ces nws hais rau kuv tias, Me neeg tub, tsa koj lub qhov muag tam sim no mus rau sab qaum teb. Yog li ntawd kuv tsa kuv lub qhov muag mus rau sab qaum teb, thiab saib seb, nyob sab qaum teb ntawm lub rooj vag thaj txi ntuj, tus mlom khib ntawd nyob ntawm qhov nkag. Exekhee 8:1–5.

The image of jealousy is the first of four escalating abominations that Ezekiel is shown. The image of jealousy represents the beginning of the first of four generations of escalating rebellion in Adventism. The first generation began in 1863.

Tus mlom ntawm kev khib yog thawj zaug hauv plaub yam kev qias vuab tsuab uas nce zuj zus uas Exekees raug qhia kom pom. Tus mlom ntawm kev khib sawv cev rau qhov pib ntawm thawj tiam hauv plaub tiam ntawm kev ntxeev siab uas nce zuj zus hauv Adventism. Thawj tiam pib rau xyoo 1863.

> “Each of the ancient prophets spoke less for their own time than for ours, so that their prophesying is in force for us. ‘Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ 1 Corinthians 10:11. ‘Not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.’ 1 Peter 1:12. . . .
