When the parable of the ten virgins was fulfilled in Millerite history it took place during the second angel’s message. The second angel’s message represents two distinct messages, both in the period of time which they cover and in terms of the intended audience of the message. The second angel’s message was directed to the Protestant churches that had just returned to Rome and became daughters of Babylon. The Midnight Cry was directed to the sleeping Millerites. The first message was directed outside of the Millerites, the second was directed inside. This will be fulfilled to the letter in our day.

Thaum zaj lus piv txwv txog kaum tus nkauj xwb tau raug ua tiav hauv keeb kwm Millerite, nws tau tshwm sim nyob rau lub sijhawm ntawm tus timtswv thib ob cov lus. Tus timtswv thib ob cov lus sawv cev rau ob txoj lus txawv txav, ob leeg tib si hauv lub sijhawm uas lawv npog thiab raws li cov neeg mloog uas cov lus ntawd yog npaj rau. Tus timtswv thib ob cov lus tau raug hais rau cov pawg ntseeg Protestans uas nyuam qhuav rov qab mus rau Loos thiab dhau los ua cov ntxhais ntawm Npanpiloo. Lub Suab Nruab Nrab Hmo Ntuj tau raug hais rau cov Millerites uas tsaug zog. Thawj txoj lus tau raug hais rau sab nraud ntawm cov Millerites, txoj lus thib ob tau raug hais rau sab hauv. Qhov no yuav raug ua tiav raws nraim li tus ntawv hauv peb tiam no.

The difference that needs to be noted in the repetition of our day is that in the beginning of Adventism the message of the second angel first went outside the Millerites and then part two of the message went inside the Millerites. At the end of Adventism, when the parable is again repeated, so also is the second angel’s message. We are told that directly more than a handful of times. But the two-fold nature of the message is reversed at the end. The first message goes to Adventism and the second to those outside of Adventism. We are told that the work and message represented by the angel of Revelation eighteen is a repetition of the second angel’s message.

Qhov kev txawv uas yuav tsum raug nco tseg hauv qhov rov ua dua ntawm peb tiam no yog tias thaum chiv thawj ntawm Adventism, xov ntawm tus tim tswv thib ob xub mus tawm sab nraud cov Millerites, thiab tom qab ntawd feem ob ntawm xov ntawd mam li mus rau sab hauv cov Millerites. Thaum kawg ntawm Adventism, thaum zaj lus piv txwv rov raug hais dua ib zaug ntxiv, xov ntawm tus tim tswv thib ob kuj rov raug hais dua ib yam nkaus. Peb raug qhia txog qhov ntawd ncaj qha ntau tshaj li ob peb zaug. Tiamsis ob-theem ntawm xov ntawd raug hloov rov qab thaum kawg. Xov thawj mus rau Adventism, thiab xov thib ob mus rau cov uas nyob sab nraud Adventism. Peb raug qhia tias tes haujlwm thiab xov uas tus tim tswv hauv Tshwmsim kaum yim sawv cev yog qhov rov hais dua ntawm xov ntawm tus tim tswv thib ob.

> “The prophet says, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils’ (Revelation 18:1, 2). This is the same message that was given by the second angel. Babylon is fallen, ‘because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication’ (Revelation 14:8). What is that wine?—Her false doctrines. She has given to the world a false sabbath instead of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and has repeated the falsehood that Satan first told Eve in Eden—the natural immortality of the soul. Many kindred errors she has spread far and wide, ‘teaching for doctrines the commandments of men’ (Matthew 15:9).

> Tus yaj saub hais tias, “Kuv pom dua ib tug timtswv nqes saum ntuj los, muaj hwjchim loj; thiab lub ntiajteb ci ntsa iab vim nws lub hwjchim ci ntsa iab. Thiab nws qw nrov nrov nrog lub suab muaj zog, hais tias, Npanpiloo tus loj tau poob lawm, tau poob lawm, thiab tau dhau los ua chaw nyob ntawm cov dab phem” (Revelation 18:1, 2). Nov yog tib zaj lus uas tus timtswv thib ob tau tshaj tawm. Npanpiloo tau poob lawm, “vim nws tau ua kom txhua haivneeg haus cawv txiv hmab ntawm txojkev chim vim nws txojkev ua nkauj ua nraug” (Revelation 14:8). Cawv ntawd yog dabtsi?—Nws tej lus qhuab qhia cuav. Nws tau muab ib hnub Xanpataus cuav rau lub ntiajteb hloov chaw ntawm hnub Xanpataus ntawm txoj kevcai plaub, thiab nws tau rov hais dua txoj lus dag uas Xatas xub hais rau Evas hauv Edees—uas tus ntsuj plig muaj kev tsis txawj tuag raws li ntuj tsim. Ntau yam kev yuam kev uas sib txheeb li ntawd nws tau tshaj tawm mus deb thiab dav, “qhia tej lus qhuab qhia uas yog tej lus txib ntawm neeg los ua tej lus qhuab qhia” (Matthew 15:9).

> “When Jesus began His public ministry, He cleansed the Temple from its sacrilegious profanation. Among the last acts of His ministry was the second cleansing of the Temple. So in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. The second angel’s message is, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication’ (Revelation 14:8). And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities’ (Revelation 18:4, 5).” Selected Messages, book 2, 118.

> “Thaum Yexus pib Nws tes haujlwm qhib rau sawvdaws pom, Nws tau ntxuav lub Tuamtsev kom huv ntawm txoj kev ua qias neeg thuam ntuj. Thiab nyob hauv cov haujlwm kawg ntawm Nws txoj haujlwm, muaj kev ntxuav lub Tuamtsev zaum ob. Yog li ntawd, hauv txoj haujlwm kawg rau kev ceeb toom rau lub ntiajteb, muaj ob lo lus hu txawv tshwjxeeb raug muab rau cov pawg ntseeg. Txoj xov ntawm tus timtswv thib ob yog, ‘Npanpiloo poob lawm, poob lawm, lub nroog loj ntawd, vim nws tau ua kom txhua haiv neeg haus cawv txiv hmab ntawm txoj kev chim npau taws ntawm nws txoj kev deev hluas’ (Revelation 14:8). Thiab hauv lub suab qw nrov ntawm txoj xov ntawm tus timtswv thib peb, muaj ib lub suab hnov los saum ntuj ceebtsheej hais tias, ‘Nej cov uas yog kuv haivneeg, cia li tawm hauv nws los, kom nej txhob koom nrog nws tej kev txhaum, thiab kom nej txhob txais nws tej xwm txheej phem. Rau qhov nws tej kev txhaum twb mus txog saum ntuj lawm, thiab Vajtswv tau nco txog nws tej kev phem kev qias’ (Revelation 18:4, 5).” Selected Messages, phau 2, 118.

The message of the second angel at the beginning of Adventism is the same message as the message represented by the angel of Revelation eighteen, and in that warning, there are two voices that proclaim a message. The first voice is proclaimed when the earth is lightened by his glory and in verse four John heard another voice saying, “come out of her.”

Txoj xov ntawm tus tim tswv thib ob thaum pib ntawm Kev Cia Siab Rov Los yog tib txoj xov ib yam li txoj xov uas sawv cev los ntawm tus tim tswv hauv Qhia Tshwm kaum yim, thiab hauv qhov kev ceeb toom ntawd, muaj ob lub suab uas tshaj tawm ib txoj xov. Lub suab thawj raug tshaj tawm thaum lub ntiajteb raug ci ntsa iab los ntawm nws lub yeeb koob, thiab hauv nqe plaub Yauhas hnov dua ib lub suab hais tias, “nej cia li tawm hauv nws los.”

In Millerite history the call out of Babylon came first and the message to the Millerites came second. In Revelation eighteen it is the second voice, or second message that addresses those outside of Adventism. Along with the declaration that there are “two distinct calls made to the churches” we find that the two times Christ cleansed the temple (at the beginning and ending of His ministry) is also an illustration of the beginning and ending of Adventism.

Hauv keeb kwm Millerite, txoj kev hu kom tawm hauv Npanpiloo los ua ntej, hos txoj xov rau cov Millerites los ua tom qab. Hauv Tshwm Sim kaum yim, nws yog lub suab thib ob, los yog txoj xov thib ob, uas hais rau cov uas nyob sab nraud ntawm Adventism. Ua ke nrog lo lus tshaj tawm tias muaj “ob txoj kev hu sib txawv uas tau ua rau cov pawg ntseeg” peb kuj pom tias ob zaug uas Khetos ntxuav lub tuam tsev (thaum pib thiab thaum xaus ntawm Nws txoj hauj lwm qhuab qhia) kuj yog ib daim duab qhia txog qhov pib thiab qhov xaus ntawm Adventism.

The beginning of Adventism illustrated a purification of the workers that helped in building the foundation that William Miller was used to establish. The foundation was completed at the conclusion of the second angel’s message, for with the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844 the truths that make up the foundations of Adventism were made available to understand, for those who are willing to hear.

Qhov pib ntawm Kev Ntseeg Adventist tau ua piv txwv txog kev lim huv ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm uas tau pab rau hauv kev txhim tsa lub hauv paus uas William Miller raug siv los tsim tsa. Lub hauv paus ntawd tau ua tiav thaum xaus ntawm zaj lus ntawm tus tim tswv thib ob, rau qhov thaum tus tim tswv thib peb tuaj txog rau hnub tim 22 Lub Kaum Hli, 1844, cov lus tseeb uas muaj ua lub hauv paus ntawm Kev Ntseeg Adventist tau raug muab qhib kom nkag siab tau, rau cov uas txaus siab mloog.

The work of building the foundation concluded at the climax of the history of the second angel, when “two distinct calls were made to the churches.” The first call was outside the Millerites, the second was for the Millerites. But another beginning that aligns with Adventism’s beginning is the ministry of Christ when He cleansed His temple the first time. The prophetic illustration of the temple being cleansed is marking a purification at the beginning and end of His ministry, that in turn typifies a purification of Adventism at its beginning and ending. Christ’s two temple cleansings align with the beginning and ending of Adventism, but His message was just for His covenant people who were in the process of forever divorcing themselves from God.

Txoj hauj lwm ntawm kev tsa lub hauv paus tau xaus rau ntawm qhov ncov siab ntawm keeb kwm ntawm tus tim tswv thib ob, thaum “muaj ob lo lus hu uas txawv txav raug xa mus rau cov koom txoos.” Lo lus hu thawj zaug yog nyob sab nraud ntawm cov Millerites, lo lus hu thib ob yog rau cov Millerites. Tiamsis muaj dua ib qho pib uas phim raws nraim li qhov pib ntawm Adventism, uas yog txoj hauj lwm qhuab qhia ntawm Khetos thaum Nws ntxuav Nws lub tuam tsev thawj zaug. Daim duab yaj saub ntawm lub tuam tsev raug ntxuav yog cim tseg txog ib qho kev ntxuav kom dawb huv thaum pib thiab thaum xaus ntawm Nws txoj hauj lwm qhuab qhia, uas ces ua qauv piv txwv txog ib qho kev ntxuav kom dawb huv ntawm Adventism thaum nws pib thiab thaum nws xaus. Ob zaug uas Khetos ntxuav lub tuam tsev phim raws nraim nrog qhov pib thiab qhov xaus ntawm Adventism, tiamsis Nws txoj xov tsuas yog rau Nws haiv neeg ntawm txoj kev cog lus xwb, uas tab tom nyob hauv txoj kev sib nrauj lawv tus kheej tawm ntawm Vajtswv mus ib txhis.

The beginning of Adventism presented a message announcing the opening of the judgment and the end of Adventism is announcing the end of judgment. Jesus cleansed the temple the first time and rebuked the Jews for turning His house into a den of thieves, but the second cleansing of the temple was “among the last acts of His ministry.” At the end of His ministry, He no longer told the Jews that they had made His Father’s house a den of thieves, he then told them that their house “was left to them desolate.”

Qhov pib ntawm Kev Ntseeg Adventism tau nthuav tawm ib txoj lus ceeb toom hais txog kev qhib ntawm txoj kev txiav txim, thiab qhov kawg ntawm Adventism tab tom tshaj tawm txog qhov xaus ntawm txoj kev txiav txim. Yexus tau ntxuav lub tuam tsev thawj zaug thiab cem cov Yudais vim lawv tau hloov Nws lub tsev ua ib lub qhov tsua rau tub sab, tiam sis kev ntxuav lub tuam tsev zaum ob yog “nyob hauv tej haujlwm kawg ntawm Nws txoj hauj lwm qhuab qhia.” Thaum kawg ntawm Nws txoj hauj lwm qhuab qhia, Nws tsis hais rau cov Yudais ntxiv lawm tias lawv tau ua Nws Leej Txiv lub tsev ua ib lub qhov tsua rau tub sab; thaum ntawd Nws hais rau lawv tias lawv lub tsev “tau raug tso cia rau lawv nyob twj ywm qhuav ploj.”

> “Meanwhile worshipers from every nation sought the temple which had been dedicated to the worship of God. Glittering with gold and precious stones, it was a vision of beauty and grandeur. But Jehovah was no longer to be found in that palace of loveliness. Israel as a nation had divorced herself from God. When Christ, near the close of His earthly ministry, looked for the last time upon the interior of the temple, He said, ‘Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.’ Matthew 23:38. Hitherto He had called the temple His Father’s house; but as the Son of God passed out from those walls, God’s presence was withdrawn forever from the temple built to His glory.” Acts of the Apostles, 145.

> “Lub sijhawm ntawd cov neeg pe hawm ntawm txhua haiv neeg nrhiav los rau lub tuam tsev uas tau fij tseg rau kev pe hawm Vajtswv. Ci ntsa iab nrog kub thiab tej pob zeb muaj nqis, nws yog ib qho pom kev zoo nkauj thiab muaj hwjchim loj kawg nkaus. Tiamsis Yehauvas tsis muaj nyob hauv lub vaj loog zoo nkauj ntawd lawm. Yixayee ua ib haiv neeg twb tau nrauj nws tus kheej ntawm Vajtswv lawm. Thaum Khetos, nyob ze rau thaum kawg ntawm Nws tes haujlwm hauv ntiajteb no, ntsia mus rau sab hauv lub tuam tsev zaum kawg, Nws hais tias, ‘Saib seb, nej lub tsev raug tso tseg rau nej cia ua qhov khoob khuav.’ Mathais 23:38. Txog txij ntawd los Nws tau hu lub tuam tsev tias yog Nws Txiv lub tsev; tabsis thaum Vajtswv Leej Tub tawm ntawm cov ntsa ntawd mus lawm, Vajtswv lub xub ntiag raug thim tawm mus ib txhis ntawm lub tuam tsev uas tau tsim los rau Nws lub yeeb koob.” Tes Haujlwm ntawm Cov Tubtxib, 145.

The temple He cleansed at the beginning was a different temple than what He cleansed at the end. The first temple was His Father’s house, but the second temple was the Jew’s house. The Lord entered into covenant with Adventism at the beginning and Adventists became priests in His temple. At the end of Adventism, they are to be no more priests, and their house will be desolated.

Lub tuam tsev uas Nws tau ntxuav thaum chiv thawj yog ib lub tuam tsev txawv ntawm qhov uas Nws tau ntxuav thaum kawg. Lub tuam tsev thawj yog Nws Txiv lub tsev, tab sis lub tuam tsev thib ob yog cov Yudais lub tsev. Tus Tswv tau nkag los rau hauv txoj kev cog lus nrog Adventism thaum pib, thiab cov Adventist tau los ua pov thawj hauv Nws lub tuam tsev. Thaum kawg ntawm Adventism, lawv yuav tsis yog pov thawj lawm, thiab lawv lub tsev yuav raug tso tseg ua tebchaws puam tsuaj.

The second angel represents two messages. This is one reason the message is represented as Babylon falling twice. This is not the primary reason for the twice repeated announcement of Babylon’s fall, but is one reason. How is it two messages?

Tus tim tswv thib ob sawv cev rau ob txoj lus. Qhov no yog ib qho laj thawj uas txoj lus no raug sawv cev tias Npanpiloo poob ob zaug. Qhov no tsis yog thawj qhov laj thawj uas qhov kev tshaj tawm txog Npanpiloo txoj kev poob raug rov hais dua ob zaug, tiam sis yog ib qho laj thawj. Nws yog ob txoj lus li cas?

The second angel arrived in response to the rejection of the first angel’s message. When the failed prediction, identifying 1843 as the conclusion of the 2300-year prophecy, the Protestant churches used the erroneous message to reject Miller’s message. Miller’s message was the first angel’s message. At its rejection the Protestant churches, who had been God’s church in the wilderness for over 1260 years, were rejected and became a daughter of Babylon. At that point the second angel arrived with his message.

Tus tim tswv thib ob tau los txog raws li lo lus teb rau qhov uas neeg tsis lees txais tus tim tswv thawj tus lus. Thaum txoj kev twv uas ua tsis tiav, uas qhia tias xyoo 1843 yog qhov xaus ntawm zaj lus faj lem 2300 xyoo, cov koom txoos Protestant tau siv txoj xov uas yuam kev ntawd los tsis lees txais Miller txoj xov. Miller txoj xov yog tus tim tswv thawj tus lus. Thaum lawv tsis lees txais nws lawm, cov koom txoos Protestant, uas tau ua Vajtswv pawg ntseeg nyob hauv tebchaws moj sab qhua tau tshaj 1260 xyoo, kuj raug tsis lees txais thiab dhau los ua ib tug ntxhais ntawm Npanpiloo. Txij ntawm lub sijhawm ntawd tus tim tswv thib ob thiaj los txog nrog nws tus lus.

There are some very important points involved with the various elements of this history we are considering. There is at least one point that must be developed slowly for it definitely contributes to the understanding of the message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ that is currently being unsealed. For this reason, I am including a very important passage about that history. It is two chapters that I am pointing to, but there is also a third important chapter in the middle of those two chapters. I am not including this at this time in order to limit the scope of our consideration.

Muaj qee cov ntsiab lus tseem ceeb heev uas cuam tshuam nrog ntau yam ntsiab ntawm zaj keeb kwm no uas peb tab tom tshuaj xyuas. Muaj tsawg kawg ib qho ntsiab lus uas yuav tsum raug nthuav tawm maj mam, vim nws yeej pab txhawb rau kev to taub txog zaj lus ntawm Yexus Khetos Txoj Kev Tshwm Sim uas tam sim no tab tom raug qhib lub foob. Vim li no, kuv thiaj suav nrog ib nqe lus tseem ceeb heev hais txog zaj keeb kwm ntawd. Muaj ob tshooj uas kuv tab tom taw tes rau, tab sis kuj tseem muaj ib tshooj tseem ceeb thib peb nyob nruab nrab ntawm ob tshooj ntawd thiab. Kuv tsis suav qhov no rau lub sijhawm no kom txwv qhov dav ntawm yam uas peb tab tom tshuaj xyuas.

Notice which angel is being addressed as you read through, look for the progressive testing process, note in the first paragraph that the prophetic characteristics of the angel of Revelation eighteen are also the characteristics of the first angel. Notice that to crucify one of the messages is to crucify Christ, and notice that the three angels are all presented as single angels, but the Midnight Cry message is a multitude of angels.

Thaum koj nyeem mus txog, cia li ua tib zoo saib seb tus timtswv twg yog tus tab tom raug hais rau; nrhiav kom pom txoj kev sim uas nce zuj zus; nco ntsoov hauv thawj nqe lus tias tej yam cwj pwm yaj saub ntawm tus timtswv hauv Tshwmsim kaum yim kuj yog tej yam cwj pwm ntawm tus timtswv thawj thiab. Cia li pom tias kev ntsia ib qho ntawm cov lus ntawd rau saum ntoo khaub lig yog kev ntsia Khetos rau saum ntoo khaub lig; thiab cia li pom tias peb tug timtswv ntawd txhua tus raug nthuav tawm ua ib tug timtswv xwb, tiam sis txoj xov Quaj Hmo Ntuj Ib Nrab yog ib co timtswv coob heev.

> “I was shown the interest which all heaven had taken in the work which had been going on upon the earth. Jesus commissioned a strong and mighty angel to descend and warn the inhabitants of earth to get ready for his second appearing. I saw the mighty angel leave the presence of Jesus in heaven. Before him went an exceedingly bright and glorious light. I was told that his mission was to lighten the earth with his glory, and warn man of the coming wrath of God. Multitudes received the light. Some seemed to be very solemn, while others were joyful and enraptured. The light was shed upon all, but some merely came under the influence of the light, and did not heartily receive it. But all who received it, turned their faces upward to heaven, and glorified God. Many were filled with great wrath. Ministers and people united with the vile, and stoutly resisted the light shed by the mighty angel. But all who received it withdrew from the world, and were closely united together.

> “Kuv tau raug qhia txog qhov kev txaus siab uas tag nrho ntuj ceeb tsheej tau muaj rau txoj hauj lwm uas twb tau tab tom ua nyob saum lub ntiaj teb. Yexus tau txib ib tug tim tswv muaj zog thiab hwj chim heev nqes los ceeb toom cov neeg nyob hauv ntiaj teb kom npaj txhij rau Nws txoj kev rov tshwm sim zaum ob. Kuv pom tus tim tswv muaj hwj chim ntawd tawm hauv Yexus lub xub ntiag saum ntuj ceeb tsheej mus. Ua ntej nws muaj ib lub teeb ci ntsa iab thiab muaj koob meej tshaj plaws ci mus ua ntej. Kuv raug qhia tias nws tes hauj lwm yog kom ci kaj rau lub ntiaj teb nrog nws lub hwjchim ci ntsa iab, thiab ceeb toom tibneeg txog Vajtswv txoj kev npau taws uas yuav los txog. Coob leej coob tus tau txais txoj kev kaj ntawd. Ib txhia zoo li muaj siab hnyav thiab tsom ntsoov heev, hos lwm tus zoo siab thiab qhuas kawg nkaus. Txoj kev kaj ntawd tau ci rau sawv daws, tiamsis qee leej tsuas yog los nyob hauv txoj kev kaj ntawd lub hwjchim xwb, thiab tsis tau txais nws kawg siab kawg ntsws li. Tiamsis txhua tus uas tau txais nws, lawv tsa ntsej muag ntsia saud mus rau ntuj ceeb tsheej, thiab qhuas Vajtswv. Coob leej raug puv npo ntawm txoj kev npau taws loj heev. Cov xibhwb thiab cov pejxeem koom tes nrog cov neeg phem qias, thiab tawm tsam ruaj nreb rau txoj kev kaj uas tus tim tswv muaj hwj chim tau ci tawm. Tiamsis txhua tus uas tau txais nws tau cais lawv tus kheej tawm hauv lub ntiaj teb, thiab tau koom sib ze heev ua ib pab.”

> “Satan and his angels were busily engaged in seeking to attract the minds of all they could from the light. The company who rejected it were left in darkness. I saw the angel watching with the deepest interest the professed people of God, to record the character they developed, as the message of heavenly origin was introduced to them. And as very many who professed love for Jesus turned from the heavenly message with scorn, derision and hatred, an angel with a parchment in his hand, made the shameful record. All heaven was filled with indignation, because Jesus was slighted by his professed followers.

> “Xatas thiab nws cov tim tswv tau rau siab ntso nrhiav kom rub tau tej siab ntsws ntawm txhua tus uas lawv ua tau kom tawm ntawm txoj kev kaj. Pawg neeg uas tsis lees txais txoj kev kaj ntawd raug tso tseg rau hauv txoj kev tsaus ntuj. Kuv pom tus tim tswv tab tom saib xyuas nrog txoj kev txaus siab tob kawg nkaus rau cov neeg uas lees tias yog Vajtswv haiv neeg, kom sau tseg tus yam ntxwv uas lawv tau tsim tawm, thaum txoj xov uas muaj keeb kwm saum ntuj ceeb tsheej raug coj los rau lawv. Thiab thaum coob leej heev uas lees tias hlub Yexus tig ntawm txoj xov saum ntuj ceeb tsheej ntawd mus nrog kev thuam, kev qhuab thuas thiab kev ntxub, ib tug tim tswv nrog ib daim ntawv yob nyob hauv nws txhais tes tau sau tseg txoj kev txaj muag ntawd. Tag nrho saum ntuj ceeb tsheej puv npo nrog txoj kev chim siab, vim Yexus raug saib tsis taus los ntawm cov uas lees tias yog nws cov thwjtim.”

> “I saw the disappointment of the trusting ones. They did not see their Lord at the expected time. It was God’s purpose to conceal the future, and bring his people to a point of decision. Without this point of time the work designed of God would not have been accomplished. Satan was leading the minds of very many far ahead in the future. A period of time proclaimed for Christ’s appearing must bring the mind to earnestly seek for a present preparation. As the time passed, those who had not fully received the light of the angel, united with those who had despised the heavenly message, and they turned upon the disappointed ones in ridicule. I saw the angels in heaven consulting with Jesus. They had marked the situation of Christ’s professed followers. The passing of the definite time had tested and proved them, and very many were weighed in the balance and found wanting. They all loudly professed to be Christians, yet failed in following Christ in almost every particular. Satan exulted at the state of the professed followers of Christ. He had them in his snare. He had led the majority to leave the straight path, and they were attempting to climb up to heaven some other way. Angels saw the pure, the clean, and holy, all mixed up with sinners in Zion, and the world-loving hypocrite. They had watched over the true lovers of Jesus; but the corrupt were affecting the holy.

> “Kuv tau pom txoj kev chim siab ntawm cov uas ntseeg siab. Lawv tsis tau pom lawv tus Tswv nyob rau lub sijhawm uas lawv tau cia siab tseg. Vajtswv lub hom phiaj yog zais yav tom ntej, thiab coj nws haiv neeg los txog rau ib qho chaw txiav txim siab. Yog tsis muaj lub sijhawm ntawd, txoj haujlwm uas Vajtswv tau teem tseg yuav tsis tau tiav. Xatas tab tom coj ntau leej ntau tus lub siab mus deb dhau rau yav tom ntej. Ib lub sijhawm uas tshaj tawm rau Khetos qhov kev tshwm sim yuav tsum coj lub siab kom mob siab nrhiav kev npaj txhij rau lub sijhawm tam sim no. Thaum lub sijhawm ntawd dhau mus lawm, cov uas tsis tau txais tus tim tswv lub teeb kom puv npo, tau koom nrog cov uas tau saib tsis taus txoj xov saum ntuj ceeb tsheej, thiab lawv tig los thuam cov uas chim siab ntawd. Kuv tau pom cov tim tswv saum ntuj ceeb tsheej sab laj nrog Yexus. Lawv tau cim tseg qhov xwm txheej ntawm cov uas lees hais tias yog Khetos cov thwjtim. Kev dhau mus ntawm lub sijhawm uas tau hais meej ntawd tau sim thiab txheeb xyuas lawv, thiab muaj coob leej heev raug muab hnyav rau hauv lub ntsuas thiab pom tias tseem tsis txaus.

> “Those whose hearts burned with a longing, intense desire to see Jesus, were forbidden by their professed brethren to speak of his coming. Angels viewed the whole scene, and sympathized with the remnant, who loved the appearing of Jesus. Another mighty angel was commissioned to descend to earth. Jesus placed in his hand a writing, and as he came to earth, he cried, Babylon is fallen! is fallen! Then I saw the disappointed ones again look cheerful, and raise their eyes to heaven, looking with faith and hope for their Lord’s appearing. But many seemed to remain in a stupid state, as if asleep; yet I could see the trace of deep sorrow upon their countenances. The disappointed ones saw from the Bible that they were in the tarrying time, and that they must patiently wait the fulfillment of the vision. The same evidence which led them to look for their Lord in 1843, led them to expect him in 1844. I saw that the majority did not possess that energy which marked their faith in 1843. Their disappointment had dampened their faith. But as the disappointed ones united in the cry of the second angel, the heavenly host looked with the deepest interest, and marked the effect of the message. They saw those who bore the name of Christians turn with derision and scorn upon those who had been disappointed. As the words fell from the mocker’s lips, You have not gone up yet! an angel wrote them. Said the angel, They mock God.

They mocked God, and met their punishment there. They had learned it of their parents. And those who have scoffed and mocked at the idea of the saints’ going up, will be visited with the plagues of God, and will realize that it is not a small thing to trifle with him.

> “Jesus commissioned other angels to fly quickly to revive and strengthen the drooping faith of his people, and prepare them to understand the message of the second angel, and of the important move which was soon to be made in heaven. I saw these angels receive great power and light from Jesus, and fly quickly to earth to fulfill their commission to aid the second angel in his work. A great light shone upon the people of God as the angels cried. Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. Then I saw those disappointed ones rise, and in harmony with the second angel, proclaim, Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. The light from the angels penetrated the darkness everywhere. Satan and his angels sought to hinder this light from spreading, and having its designed effect. They contended with the angels of God, and told them that God had deceived the people, and that with all their light and power, they could not make the people believe that Jesus was coming. The angels of God continued their work, although Satan strove to hedge up the way, and draw the minds of the people from the light. Those who received it looked very happy. They fixed their eyes up to heaven, and longed for the appearing of Jesus. Some were in great distress, weeping and praying. Their eyes seemed to be fixed upon themselves, and they dared not look upward.

> “Those who rejected and opposed the light of the first angel’s message, lost the light of the second, and could not be benefited by the power and glory which attended the message, Behold the Bridegroom cometh. Jesus turned from them with a frown. They had slighted and rejected him. Those who received the message were wrapt in a cloud of glory. They waited and watched and prayed to know the will of God. They greatly feared to offend him. I saw Satan and his angels seeking to shut this divine light from the people of God; but as long as the waiting ones cherished the light, and kept their eyes raised from earth to Jesus, Satan could have no power to deprive them of this precious light. The message given from heaven enraged Satan and his angels, and those who professed to love Jesus, but despised his coming, scorned and derided the faithful, trusting ones. But an angel marked every insult, every slight, every abuse they received from their professed brethren. Very many raised their voices to cry, Behold the Bridegroom cometh, and left their brethren who did not love the appearing of Jesus, and who would not suffer them to dwell upon his second coming. I saw Jesus turn his face from those who rejected and despised his coming, and then he bade angels lead his people out from among the unclean, lest they should be defiled. Those obedient to the messages stood out free and united. A holy and excellent light shone upon them. They renounced the world, tore their affections from it, and sacrificed their earthly interests. They gave up their earthly treasure, and their anxious gaze was directed to heaven, expecting to see their loved Deliverer. A sacred, holy joy beamed upon their countenances, and told of the peace and joy which reigned within. Jesus bade his angels go and strengthen them, for the hour of their trial drew on. I saw that these waiting ones were not yet tried as they must be. They were not free from errors. And I saw the mercy and goodness of God in sending a warning to the people of earth, and repeated messages to bring them up to a point of time, to lead them to a diligent search of themselves, that they might divest themselves of errors which have been handed down from the heathen and papists. Through these messages God has been bringing out his people where he can work for them in greater power, and where they can keep all his commandments. . . .

> “As the ministration of Jesus closed in the Holy place, and he passed into the Holiest, and stood before the ark containing the law of God, he sent another mighty angel to earth with the third message. He placed a parchment in the angel’s hand, and as he descended to earth in majesty and power, he proclaimed a fearful warning, the most terrible threatening ever borne to man. This message was designed to put the children of God upon their guard, and show them the hour of temptation and anguish that was before them. Said the angel, They will be brought into close combat with the beast and his image. Their only hope of eternal life is to remain steadfast. Although their lives are at stake, yet they must hold fast the truth. The third angel closes his message with these words, Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. As he repeated these words he pointed to the heavenly Sanctuary. The minds of all who embrace this message are directed to the Most Holy place where Jesus stands before the ark, making his final intercession for all those for whom mercy still lingers, and for those who have ignorantly broken the law of God. This atonement is made for the righteous dead as well as for the righteous living. Jesus makes an atonement for those who died, not receiving the light upon God’s commandments, who sinned ignorantly.

I saw the third angel pointing upward, showing the disappointed ones the way to the Holiest of the heavenly Sanctuary. They followed Jesus by faith into the Most Holy. Again they have found Jesus, and joy and hope spring up anew. I saw them looking back reviewing the past, from the proclamation of the second advent of Jesus, down through their travels to the passing of the time in 1844. They see their disappointment explained, and joy and certainty again animate them. The third angel has lighted up the past, present and future, and they know that God has indeed led them by his mysterious providence.

> “It was represented to me that the remnant followed Jesus into the Most Holy place, and beheld the ark, and the mercy-seat, and were captivated with their glory. Jesus raised the cover of the ark, and behold! the tables of stone, with the ten commandments written upon them. They trace down the lively oracles; but they start back with trembling when they see the fourth commandment living among the ten holy precepts, while a brighter light shines upon it than upon the other nine, and a halo of glory is all around it. They find nothing there informing them that the Sabbath has been abolished, or changed to the first day of the week. It reads as when spoken by the mouth of God in solemn and awful grandeur upon the mount, while the lightnings flashed and the thunders rolled, and when written with his own holy finger in the tables of stone. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. They are amazed as they behold the care taken of the ten commandments. They see them placed close by Jehovah, overshadowed and protected by his holiness. They see that they have been trampling upon the fourth commandment of the decalogue, and have observed a day handed down by the heathen and papists, instead of the day sanctified by Jehovah. They humble themselves before God, and mourn over their past transgressions.

And as it ascended, a bright light rested upon Jesus, and upon the mercy-seat; and the earnest, praying ones, who were troubled because they had discovered themselves to be transgressors of God’s law, were blest, and their countenances lighted up with hope and joy. They joined in the work of the third angel, and raised their voices and proclaimed the solemn warning. But few at first received the message, yet they continued with energy to proclaim the warning. Then I saw many embrace the message of the third angel, and unite their voices with those who had first proclaimed the warning, and they exalted God and magnified him by observing his sanctified Rest-day.

> “Many who embraced the third message had not an experience in the two former messages. Satan understood this, and his evil eye was upon them to overthrow them; but the third angel was pointing them to the Most Holy place, and those who had an experience in the past messages were pointing them the way to the heavenly Sanctuary. Many saw the perfect chain of truth in the angels’ messages, and gladly received it. They embraced them in their order, and followed Jesus by faith into the heavenly Sanctuary. These messages were represented to me as an anchor to hold the body. And as individuals receive and understand them, they are shielded against the many delusions of Satan.

> “Coob leej coob uas tau txais yuav txoj xov thib peb tsis tau muaj ib txoj kev paub hauv ob txoj xov ua ntej. Xatas to taub qhov no, thiab nws lub qhov muag phem ntsia ntsoov rau lawv kom muab lawv rhuav pov tseg; tiam sis tus timtswv thib peb tab tom taw lawv mus rau qhov Chaw Dawb Huv Tshaj Plaws, thiab cov uas tau muaj kev paub hauv cov xov dhau los tab tom taw kev rau lawv mus rau lub Tuamtsev Ntshiab saum ntuj ceeb tsheej. Coob leej pom txoj saw tseeb uas zoo tiav nyob hauv cov timtswv tej xov, thiab tau zoo siab hlo txais yuav nws. Lawv txais yuav lawv raws li lawv txoj kev txiav txim, thiab los ntawm txoj kev ntseeg tau raws Yexus mus rau hauv lub Tuamtsev Ntshiab saum ntuj ceeb tsheej. Cov xov no tau muab sawv cev rau kuv pom zoo li ib lub thauj tog rau nkoj uas tuav cia lub cev. Thiab thaum tib neeg ib leeg zuj zus txais thiab to taub lawv, lawv raug thaiv tiv thaiv ntawm Xatas tej kev dag ntxias ntau yam.”

> “After the great disappointment in 1844, Satan and his angels were busily engaged in laying snares to unsettle the faith of the body. He was affecting the minds of individuals who had a personal experience in these things. They had an appearance of humility. They changed the first and second messages, and pointed to the future for their fulfillment, while others pointed far back in the past, declaring that they had been there fulfilled. These individuals were drawing the minds of the inexperienced away, and unsettling their faith. Some were searching the Bible to try to build up a faith of their own, independent of the body. Satan exulted in all this; for he knew that those who broke loose from the anchor, he could affect by different errors and drive about with winds of doctrine. Many who had led in the first and second messages, denied them, and division and scattering was throughout the body. I then saw Wm. Miller. He looked perplexed, and was bowed with sorrow and distress for his people. He saw the company who were united and loving in 1844, losing their love for each other, and opposing one another. He saw them fall back into a cold, backslidden state. Grief wasted his strength. I saw leading men watching Wm. Miller, and fearing lest he should embrace the third angel’s message and the commandments of God. And as he would lean towards the light from heaven, these men would lay some plan to draw his mind away. I saw a human influence exerted to keep his mind in darkness, and to retain his influence among them. At length Wm. Miller raised his voice against the light from heaven. He failed in not receiving the message which would have fully explained his disappointment, and cast a light and glory on the past, which would have revived his exhausted energies, brightened up his hope, and led him to glorify God. But he leaned to human wisdom instead of divine, and being broken with arduous labor in his Master’s cause, and by age, he was not as accountable as those who kept him from the truth. They are responsible, and the sin rests upon them. If Wm. Miller could have seen the light of the third message, many things which looked dark and mysterious to him would have been explained. His brethren professed such deep love and interest for him, he thought he could not tear away from them. His heart would incline towards the truth; but then he looked at his brethren. They opposed it. Could he tear away from those who had stood side and shoulder with him in proclaiming Jesus’ coming? He thought they surely would not lead him astray.

> “Tom qab txoj kev poob siab loj hauv xyoo 1844, Xatas thiab nws cov tim tswv tau ua hauj lwm tib si rau kev ntxias kom txav tau kev ntseeg ntawm pawg ntseeg mus tsis ruaj. Nws tab tom cuam tshuam lub siab ntawm qee leej neeg uas twb muaj kev paub tus kheej hauv tej xwm txheej no lawm. Lawv muaj ib qho tsos zoo li txo hwj chim. Lawv hloov thawj thiab tsab xov thib ob, thiab taw tes mus rau yav tom ntej tias lawv txoj kev tiav yuav muaj nyob ntawd, hos lwm tus taw tes rov qab mus deb rau yav tag los, tshaj tawm tias lawv twb tiav lawm nyob ntawd. Cov neeg no tab tom rub lub siab ntawm cov tsis tau paub tob kom txav deb mus, thiab ua rau lawv txoj kev ntseeg tsis ruaj khov. Qee leej tab tom nrhiav Vajlugkub kom sim tsim tsa ib txoj kev ntseeg ntawm lawv tus kheej, ywj siab ntawm pawg ntseeg. Xatas zoo siab kawg rau txhua yam no; vim nws paub tias cov uas txiav tawm ntawm lub thauj tog rau nkoj lawm, nws yuav cuam tshuam tau lawv los ntawm ntau yam kev yuam kev thiab tsav lawv mus los raws tej cua ntawm kev qhuab qhia. Coob leej uas tau coj hauv thawj thiab tsab xov thib ob, tau tsis lees lawv, thiab kev sib cais nrog kev tawg khiav nyob puv nkaus thoob plaws hauv pawg ntseeg. Kuv mam li pom Wm. Miller. Nws zoo li ntxhov siab, thiab raug khoov vim kev tu siab thiab kev nyuaj siab rau nws haiv neeg. Nws pom pawg uas tau koom siab thiab sib hlub hauv xyoo 1844 tab tom plam lawv txoj kev hlub rau ib leeg, thiab sib tawm tsam. Nws pom lawv poob rov qab mus rau hauv ib lub xeev txias thiab rov qab poob cev qhev ntawm kev ntog rov qab. Kev tu siab ua rau nws lub zog qhuav qas. Kuv pom cov thawj coj tab tom saib Wm. Miller, thiab ntshai tsam nws yuav lees yuav tsab xov ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb thiab Vajtswv tej lus txib. Thiab thaum nws yuav tig mus rau qhov kaj uas los saum ntuj ceeb tsheej, cov neeg no yuav teeb ib txoj kev npaj kom rub nws lub siab khiav deb. Kuv pom muaj tib neeg txoj kev cuam tshuam raug siv los khaws nws lub siab cia hauv qhov tsaus ntuj, thiab kom khaws nws lub hwj chim cuam tshuam cia nrog lawv. Thaum kawg Wm. Miller tsa nws lub suab tawm tsam qhov kaj uas los saum ntuj ceeb tsheej. Nws ua tsis tiav vim nws tsis txais tsab xov uas yuav tau piav meej tag nrho nws txoj kev poob siab, thiab yuav tau muab qhov kaj thiab lub yeeb koob ci rau yav tag los, uas yuav tau txhawb rov qab nws lub zog uas twb qaug tas lawm, ua kom nws txoj kev cia siab kaj lug, thiab coj nws los qhuas Vajtswv. Tiamsis nws tig mus vam khom tib neeg lub tswv yim dua li Vajtswv txoj kev txawj ntse, thiab vim raug lov vim txoj hauj lwm hnyav hauv nws tus Tswv tes dej num, thiab vim hnub nyoog laus lawm, nws tsis muaj kev lav ris npaum li cov uas khaws nws kom deb ntawm qhov tseeb. Lawv yog cov yuav tsum ris lub luag hauj lwm, thiab txoj kev txhaum nyob saum lawv. Yog Wm. Miller tau pom tau qhov kaj ntawm tsab xov thib peb, ntau yam uas zoo tsaus nti thiab tsis meej rau nws yuav tau raug piav qhia. Nws cov kwv tij qhia tias lawv muaj kev hlub thiab kev mob siab rau nws tob heev, nws thiaj xav tias nws tsis muaj peev xwm txiav nws tus kheej kom deb ntawm lawv. Nws lub siab yeej yuav tig mus rau qhov tseeb; tiam sis tom qab ntawd nws ntsia rau nws cov kwv tij. Lawv tawm tsam nws. Nws puas yuav txiav tau nws tus kheej kom deb ntawm cov uas twb sawv ib sab thiab xub pwg sib dhos nrog nws hauv kev tshaj tawm txog Yexus txoj kev yuav los? Nws xav tias lawv yeej yuav tsis coj nws mus yuam kev.”

> “God suffered him to come under the power of Satan, and death to have dominion over him. He hid him in the grave, away from those who were constantly drawing him from God. Moses erred just as he was about to enter the promised land. So also, I saw that Wm. Miller erred as he was soon to enter the heavenly Canaan, in suffering his influence to go against the truth. Others led him to this. Others must account for it. But angels watch the precious dust of this servant of God, and he will come forth at the sound of the last trump.

> “Vajtswv cia nws poob rau hauv Xatas lub hwjchim, thiab cia txojkev tuag kav nws. Nws muab nws zais rau hauv lub ntxa, kom deb ntawm cov uas niaj hnub rub nws kom txav deb ntawm Vajtswv. Mauxes ua yuam kev thaum nws twb yuav nkag mus rau hauv thaj av uas tau cog lus tseg lawm. Ib yam li ntawd thiab, kuv pom tias Wm. Miller kuj ua yuam kev thaum nws twb yuav nkag mus rau hauv Kana-as saum ntuj ceeb tsheej, vim nws tso cai rau nws lub hwjchim cuam tshuam mus tawm tsam qhov tseeb. Lwm tus tau coj nws mus txog qhov no. Lwm tus yuav tsum lav txog qhov ntawd. Tiamsis cov timtswv saib xyuas tej plua tshauv muaj nqis ntawm tus tub qhe no ntawm Vajtswv, thiab nws yuav sawv los thaum lub suab raj kawg ncha.”

> “I saw a company who stood well guarded and firm, and would give no countenance to those who would unsettle the established faith of the body. God looked upon them with approbation. I was shown three steps—one, two and three—the first, second and third angels’ messages. Said the angel, Woe to him who shall move a block, or stir a pin in these messages. The true understanding of these messages is of vital importance. The destiny of souls hangs upon the manner in which they are received. I was again brought down through these messages, and saw how dearly the people of God had purchased their experience. It had been obtained through much suffering and severe conflict. Step by step had God brought them along, until he had placed them upon a solid, immovable platform. Then I saw individuals as they approached the platform, before stepping upon it examine the foundation. Some with rejoicing immediately stepped upon it. Others commenced to find fault with the laying of the foundation of the platform. They wished improvements made, and then the platform would be more perfect, and the people much happier. Some stepped off the platform and examined it, then found fault with it, declaring it to be laid wrong. I saw that nearly all stood firm upon the platform, and exhorted others who had stepped off to cease their complaints, for God was the master-builder, and they were fighting against him. They recounted the wonderful work of God, which had led them to the firm platform, and in union nearly all raised their eyes to heaven, and with a loud voice glorified God. This affected some of those who had complained, and left the platform, and again they with humble look stepped upon it.

> “Kuv pom ib pab neeg uas sawv ruaj khov thiab raug tiv thaiv zoo, thiab lawv yuav tsis pub txhawb nqa rau cov uas xav ua kom txoj kev ntseeg uas twb raug tsa ruaj khov cia hauv lub cev ntawd raug tshee hnyo. Vajtswv ntsia lawv nrog kev pom zoo. Kuv raug qhia peb theem—ib, ob, thiab peb—yog thawj, ob, thiab peb tug tim tswv tej lus ceeb toom. Tus tim tswv hais tias, Kev txom nyem rau tus uas yuav txav ib thooj los sis qoj ib rab ko hauv tej lus no. Txoj kev nkag siab tseeb txog tej lus no yog yam tseem ceeb kawg nkaus. Txoj hmoo ntawm tej ntsuj plig dai rawv rau txoj kev uas lawv txais tej lus no. Kuv rov raug coj nqes los ntawm tej lus no dua, thiab pom tias Vajtswv haiv neeg tau them nqi kim npaum li cas thiaj tau lawv txoj kev paub dhau los. Nws raug khwv tau los ntawm kev txom nyem ntau thiab kev sib ntaus sib tua hnyav. Vajtswv tau coj lawv mus ib theem dhau ib theem, mus txog thaum Nws tsa lawv rau saum ib lub hauv paus ruaj khov, uas txav tsis taus. Tom qab ntawd kuv pom qee leej neeg thaum lawv los ze rau lub hauv paus ntawd, ua ntej yuav nce mus saum nws, lawv tshuaj xyuas lub hauv paus. Ib txhia zoo siab hlo tam sid nce mus saum nws. Lwm tus pib nrhiav kev thuam txog txoj kev tso lub hauv paus ntawm lub platform ntawd. Lawv xav kom muaj kev kho kom zoo ntxiv, ces lub platform ntawd thiaj yuav zoo tiav dua, thiab cov neeg thiaj yuav zoo siab dua. Muaj ib txhia nqis ntawm lub platform lawm mus tshuaj xyuas nws, ces lawv nrhiav kev thuam nws, hais tias nws raug tsa yuam kev lawm. Kuv pom tias yuav luag txhua tus sawv ruaj nreb saum lub platform ntawd, thiab qhuab ntuas lwm tus uas twb nqis ntawm nws lawm kom tso tseg lawv tej lus yws, rau qhov Vajtswv yog tus Tswv Kws Tsim Vaj Tsev, thiab lawv tab tom tawm tsam Nws. Lawv rov hais txog Vajtswv txoj hauj lwm txaus ceeb uas tau coj lawv mus txog lub platform ruaj khov ntawd, thiab hauv kev koom siab, yuav luag txhua tus tsa lawv qhov muag mus saum ntuj, thiab nrog suab nrov ua kom Vajtswv tau koob meej. Qhov no ua rau ib txhia ntawm cov uas tau yws thiab tso lub platform tseg ntawd raug kov siab, thiab lawv rov qab los nrog lub ntsej muag txo hwj chim nce mus saum nws dua.”

> “I was pointed back to the proclamation of the first advent of Christ. John was sent in the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the way for Jesus’ coming. Those who rejected the testimony of John were not benefited by the teachings of Jesus. Their opposition to the proclamation of his first advent placed them where they could not readily receive the strongest evidence of his being the Messiah. Satan led on those who rejected the message of John to go still further, to reject Jesus and crucify him. In doing this, they placed themselves where they could not receive the blessing on the day of Pentecost, which would have taught them the way into the heavenly Sanctuary. The rending of the vail of the temple showed that the Jewish sacrifices and ordinances would no longer be received. The great Sacrifice had been offered, and had been accepted, and the Holy Spirit which descended on the day of Pentecost carried the minds of the disciples from the earthly Sanctuary to the heavenly, where Jesus had entered by his own blood, and shed upon his disciples the benefits of his atonement. The Jews were left in complete deception and total darkness. They lost all the light they might have had upon the plan of salvation, and still trusted in their useless sacrifices and offerings. They could not be benefited by the mediation of Christ in the Holy place. The heavenly Sanctuary had taken the place of the earthly, yet they had no knowledge of the way to the heavenly.

> “Tau raug coj kuv rov qab mus rau qhov kev tshaj tawm txog thawj zaug uas Khetos los. Yauhas raug xa los hauv Eliyas tus ntsuj plig thiab hwj chim kom npaj txoj kev rau Yexus txoj kev los. Cov uas tsis lees txais Yauhas tej lus tim khawv tsis tau txais txiaj ntsig los ntawm Yexus tej lus qhuab qhia. Lawv txoj kev tawm tsam rau txoj kev tshaj tawm txog nws thawj zaug kev los tau muab lawv tso rau qhov chaw uas lawv tsis muaj peev xwm txais tau yooj yim tej pov thawj muaj zog tshaj plaws tias nws yog tus Mexiyas. Xatas tau coj cov uas tsis lees txais Yauhas zaj lus kom mus ntxiv mus, kom tsis lees txais Yexus thiab muab nws ntsia saum ntoo khaub lig. Thaum ua li no, lawv tau muab lawv tus kheej tso rau qhov chaw uas lawv tsis tuaj yeem txais tau txoj koob hmoov nyob rau hnub Peetekos, uas yuav tau qhia lawv txoj kev nkag mus rau hauv lub Tuam Tsev Dawb Huv saum ntuj ceeb tsheej. Kev ntuag ntawm daim ntaub thaiv hauv lub tuam tsev qhia tawm tias cov neeg Yudais tej kev txi thiab tej kab ke yuav tsis raug lees txais ntxiv lawm. Txoj Kev Txi loj kawg nkaus twb raug muab fij lawm, thiab twb raug lees txais lawm, thiab tus Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv uas nqes los nyob rau hnub Peetekos tau nqa cov thwj tim lub siab tawm ntawm lub Tuam Tsev Dawb Huv hauv ntiajteb mus rau lub nyob saum ntuj ceeb tsheej, qhov chaw uas Yexus tau nkag mus los ntawm nws tus kheej cov ntshav, thiab tau nchuav tej txiaj ntsig ntawm nws txoj kev hloov theej txhoj rau saum nws cov thwj tim. Cov neeg Yudais raug tso cia nyob hauv kev dag ntxias tiav nrag thiab kev tsaus ntuj tag nrho. Lawv plam tag nrho txoj kev kaj uas lawv yuav tau muaj txog txoj kev npaj cawm seej, thiab tseem tso siab rau lawv tej kev txi thiab tej khoom fij uas tsis muaj nqis. Lawv tsis tuaj yeem txais txiaj ntsig los ntawm Khetos txoj kev ua tus nrig txog kev haum xeeb nyob hauv Chaw Dawb Huv. Lub Tuam Tsev Dawb Huv saum ntuj ceeb tsheej tau los hloov lub hauv ntiajteb, los lawv ho tsis muaj kev paub txog txoj kev mus rau saum ntuj ceeb tsheej li.”

> “Many look with horror at the course the Jews pursued toward Jesus in rejecting and crucifying him. And as they read the history of his shameful abuse, they think they love Christ, and would not have denied him like Peter, or crucified him like the Jews. But God who has witnessed their professed sympathy for his Son, has proved them, and has brought to the test that love which they professed for Jesus.

> “Coob leej coob ntshai heev rau txoj kev uas cov Yudais tau coj rau Yexus thaum lawv tsis lees yuav nws thiab muab nws ntsia saum ntoo khaub lig. Thiab thaum lawv nyeem keeb kwm txog qhov kev tsim txom uas txaj muag kawg nkaus uas nws raug, lawv xav tias lawv hlub Khetos, thiab yuav tsis tau tsis lees nws ib yam li Petus, lossis muab nws ntsia saum ntoo khaub lig ib yam li cov Yudais. Tab sis Vajtswv, tus uas tau pom lawv txoj kev khuv leej uas lawv hais tawm rau nws Leej Tub, tau sim lawv, thiab tau coj txoj kev hlub uas lawv hais tias muaj rau Yexus los rau qhov kev kuaj ntawd.”

> “All heaven watched with the deepest interest the reception of the message. But many who profess to love Jesus, and who shed tears as they read the story of the cross, instead of receiving the message with gladness, are stirred, with anger, and deride the good news of Jesus’ coming, and declare it to be delusion. They would not fellowship those who loved his appearing, but hated them, and shut them out of the churches. Those who rejected the first message could not be benefited by the second, and were not benefited by the midnight cry, which was to prepare them to enter with Jesus by faith into the Most Holy place of the heavenly Sanctuary. And by rejecting the two former messages, they can see no light in the third angel’s message, which shows the way into the Most Holy place. I saw that the nominal churches, as the Jews crucified Jesus, had crucified these messages, and therefore they have no knowledge of the move made in heaven, or of the way into the Most Holy, and they cannot be benefited by the intercession of Jesus there. Like the Jews, who offered their useless sacrifices, they offer up their useless prayers to the apartment which Jesus has left, and Satan, pleased with the deception of the professed followers of Christ, fastens them in his snare, and assumes a religious character, and leads the minds of these professed Christians to himself, and works with his power, his signs and lying wonders. Some he deceives in one way and some in another. He has different delusions prepared to affect different minds. Some look with horror upon one deception, while they readily receive another. Satan deceives some with Spiritualism. He also comes as an angel of light, and spreads his influence over the land. I saw false reformations everywhere. The churches were elated, and considered that God was marvelously working for them, when it was another spirit. It will die away and leave the world and the church in a worse condition than before.

> “Tag nrho saum ntuj tau ntsia nrog txoj kev txaus siab tob tshaj plaws rau qhov uas txoj xov ntawd raug txais. Tiamsis coob leej uas hais tias lawv hlub Yexus, thiab uas ntws kua muag thaum lawv nyeem txog zaj dab neeg ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig, tsis yog txais txoj xov ntawd nrog kev zoo siab, lawv thiaj raug ua kom sawv nrog kev chim, thuam xov zoo txog Yexus txoj kev los, thiab tshaj tawm tias yog kev dag ntxias. Lawv tsis kam muaj kev sib raug zoo nrog cov uas hlub nws txoj kev tshwm sim, tiamsis ntxub lawv, thiab muab lawv ntiab tawm hauv tej koom txoos.

Thiab vim qhov uas lawv tau tsis kam txais ob txoj xov ua ntej ntawd lawm, lawv thiaj pom tsis tau ib qho kaj nyob hauv txoj xov ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb, uas qhia txoj kev mus rau hauv Chaw Dawb Huv Tshaj Plaws. Kuv pom tias tej koom txoos uas tsuas muaj npe xwb, ib yam li cov Yudais tau muab Yexus ntsia saum tus ntoo khaub lig, lawv kuj tau muab tej txoj xov no ntsia saum tus ntoo khaub lig thiab; yog li ntawd lawv thiaj tsis muaj ib qho kev paub txog txoj kev txav uas tau ua nyob saum ntuj ceeb tsheej, los yog txog txoj kev mus rau hauv Chaw Dawb Huv Tshaj Plaws, thiab lawv tsis muaj peev xwm txais txiaj ntsig ntawm Yexus txoj kev thov nruab nrab nyob ntawd. Zoo ib yam li cov Yudais, uas tau muab lawv tej kev txi uas tsis muaj nqis los fij, lawv kuj tsa lawv tej lus thov uas tsis muaj nqis mus rau chav uas Yexus twb tawm ntawm lawm, thiab Xatas, zoo siab rau txoj kev dag ntxias ntawm cov uas hais tias yog cov raws Khetos qab, ntes lawv ruaj rau hauv nws lub cuab, thiab txais ib yam cwj pwm kev ntseeg, ces coj cov uas hais tias yog Khetos cov ntseeg no lub siab mus rau nws tus kheej, thiab ua haujlwm nrog nws lub hwj chim, nws tej cim, thiab tej txuj ci dag cuav. Qee leej nws dag lawv ib txoj kev, qee leej dua lwm txoj kev. Nws muaj ntau yam kev dag ntxias sib txawv npaj cia los cuam tshuam ntau hom siab. Qee leej ntsia ib yam kev dag ntxias nrog kev ntshai heev, thaum lawv ho kam txais lwm yam yooj yim heev. Xatas dag qee leej los ntawm Kev Sib Txuas Nrog Dab. Nws kuj los zoo li ib tug tim tswv uas ci ntsa iab, thiab nthuav nws txoj kev cuam tshuam thoob plaws lub teb chaws. Kuv pom tej kev txhim kho cuav nyob txhua qhov chaw. Tej koom txoos tau khav theeb thiab suav hais tias Vajtswv tabtom ua haujlwm loj kawg nkaus rau lawv, thaum qhov tseeb yog lwm tug ntsuj plig. Nws yuav ploj mus thiab tso lub ntiaj teb thiab pawg ntseeg tseg rau hauv ib qho xwm txheej phem dua li yav tas los.”

> “I saw that God had honest children among the nominal Adventists, and the fallen churches, and ministers and people will yet be called out from these churches, before the plagues shall be poured out, and they will gladly embrace the truth. Satan knows this, and before the loud cry of the third angel, raises an excitement in these religious bodies, that those who have rejected the truth may think God is with them. He hopes to deceive the honest, and lead them to think that God is still working for the churches. But the light will shine, and every one of the honest ones will leave the fallen churches, and take their stand with the remnant.” Spiritual Gifts, volume 1, 151–172.

> “Kuv tau pom tias Vajtswv muaj tej me nyuam ncaj ncees nyob hauv cov Adventist uas tsuas muaj npe xwb, thiab nyob hauv cov pawg ntseeg uas poob lawm, thiab cov xibhwb thiab cov pej xeem tseem yuav raug hu kom tawm hauv cov pawg ntseeg no los, ua ntej tej xwm txheej yuav raug nchuav los, thiab lawv yuav zoo siab hlo tuav rawv qhov tseeb. Xatas paub qhov no, thiab ua ntej tus tim tswv thib peb lub suab quaj nrov nrov, nws tsa ib qho kev kub siab ntxhov nyob hauv cov koom txoos kev cai dab qhuas no, kom cov uas twb tsis kam lees qhov tseeb lawm thiaj xav tias Vajtswv nrog lawv nyob. Nws cia siab yuav dag ntxias cov ncaj ncees, thiab coj lawv kom xav tias Vajtswv tseem tab tom ua hauj lwm rau cov pawg ntseeg. Tiamsis qhov kaj yuav ci tuaj, thiab txhua tus ncaj ncees yuav tawm hauv cov pawg ntseeg uas poob lawm mus, thiab sawv nrog cov seem uas tshuav.” Spiritual Gifts, volume 1, 151–172.

This passage has so many important truths, but I am using the passage to isolate some characteristics of the messages of Millerite history, in order to understand how those typify our history. All three of the angels of Revelation fourteen have a message in their hands. The second and third angel are identified as having a “parchment,” with them as they descend with their message. Each angel represents a message, and the arrival of each message causes an effect.

Nqe no muaj ntau qhov tseeb tseem ceeb heev, tiam sis kuv tab tom siv nqe no los cais tawm qee yam cwj pwm ntawm tej lus tshaj hauv keeb kwm Millerite, xwv kom to taub tias tej ntawd ua piv txwv txog peb keeb kwm li cas. Peb tug tim tswv hauv Qhia Tshwm tshooj kaum plaub txhua tus muaj ib txoj lus nyob hauv lawv txhais tes. Tus tim tswv thib ob thiab tus tim tswv thib peb raug qhia tias muaj ib daim “ntawv qhwv” nrog lawv thaum lawv nqes los nrog lawv txoj lus. Txhua tus tim tswv sawv cev rau ib txoj lus, thiab kev tuaj txog ntawm txhua txoj lus ua rau muaj ib qho txiaj ntsig.

We will continue this subject in the next article.

Peb yuav txuas ntxiv rau zaj lus no hauv tshooj ntawv tom ntej.
