We are identifying the twelve Messianic fulfillments in the book of Matthew, and aligning them with the waymarks of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. We have identified the birth of Christ, as the waymark of the time of the end, which begins every reformatory movement. The birth of Christ aligns with 1989, the time of the end for the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That waymark is always followed by a waymark where the message is put into the public arena, so the public can thereafter be held accountable.

Tuli mu kulambulula okutuukirizibwa kkumi n’abiri kw’obunnabbi obwa Mesiya mu kitabo kya Matayo, era tubigattanya n’obubonero bw’ekkubo bwa ba 144,000. Tukakasizza okuzalwa kwa Kristo nga obubonero bw’ekkubo bw’ekiseera eky’enkomerero, ekitandika buli nteekateeka y’enkyukakyuka ey’okutereeza. Okuzalwa kwa Kristo kugattagana ne 1989, ekiseera eky’enkomerero kya ba 144,000. Obubonero obwo bulijjo bujjirwako obubonero we obubaka butwalibwa mu lujjudde, abantu bonna balyoke babeerengawo abavunaanyizibwa oluvannyuma.

The second Messianic fulfillment was Christ’s parable teaching, which defines the methodology that is used to present the message that is formalized after the time of the end, when an increase of knowledge leads to a message for that peculiar generation. It was 1831 for the Millerites and 1996 for the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. After the message is placed into the public domain, it is then empowered by a fulfillment of prophecy that marks the beginning of the testing process. That empowerment was August 11, 1840 for the Millerites and 9/11 for the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Okutuukirizibwa okw’okubiri okw’ObuMesiya kwali okuyigiriza kwa Kristo mu ngero, okulambulula enkola egakozesebwa okuwaayo obubaka obuterekebwa mu ngeri entegeke oluvannyuma lw’ekiseera eky’enkomerero, bwe wabaawo okweyongera okw’okumanya okuleeta obubaka eri eggeneresoni eyo ey’enjawulo. Kwali mu 1831 eri Abamillerite era mu 1996 eri ekibiina ky’abantu 144,000. Nga obubaka buba buteekeddwa mu lwatu, oluvannyuma bufuna amaanyi olw’okutuukirizibwa kw’obunnabbi okumaka entandikwa y’enteekateeka y’okugezesebwa. Okunywezebwa okwo kwali nga Agusito 11, 1840 eri Abamillerite era 9/11 eri abo 144,000.

## The Third Messianic Waymark is the Messengers of 9/11

Akabonero ak'obwa-Mesiya ak'okusatu ke Abatumwa ba 9/11

> And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. Matthew 2:23.

> N’ajja n’atuula mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Nazaaleti, eryoke kituukirire ekyaayogerwa bannabbi nti, ayitibwe Omunazaaleti. Matayo 2:23.

## Prediction

Okuteebereza

> And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. Isaiah 11:1, Judges 13.

> Era waliva omuggo okuva mu kikolo kya Yese, n'ettabi lijja kumera okuva mu mizi gye. Isaaya 11:1, Abalamuzi 13.

The root of the Hebrew word translated as “Branch,” is Netzer, which is also the root of Nazareth. The Branch comes from the slums of Nazareth.

Ensibuko y’ekigambo ky’Olwebbulaniya ekivvunulwa nga "Ettabi" ye Netzer, era ye nsibuko y’erinnya Nazareth. Ettabi liva mu bitundu eby’obwavu eby’e Nazareth.

> “The Lord will call young men from the humble walks of life into his service, just as he did when living in person on this earth. He passed by the learned rabbis, to choose as his first disciples humble, unlearned fishermen. He has workers whom he will call forth from poverty and obscurity. Engaged in the common duties of life, and clothed with coarse raiment, they are looked upon by men as of little worth. But they will become precious jewels, to shine brightly for the Lord. ‘They shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels.’” Review and Herald, May 5, 1903.

> Omukama ajja okuyita abavubuka okuva mu mitendera egy’obulamu egy’obwetoowaze okubayingiza mu buweereza bwe, nga bwe yakola ng’ali wano ku nsi mu mubiri. Yayitirira barabbi abasomye, n’alonda abavubi ab’obwetoowaze abatali basomye okubeera abayigirizwa be abasooka. Alina bakozi be g’ajja okuyita okuva mu bwavu n’obutamanyibwa. Nga bakola emirimu egy’obulijjo egy’obulamu, era nga bambadde ebyambalo ebikakafu, balabibwa abantu ng’abatali ba muwendo. Naye banafuuka amayinja ag’omuwendo, okumurika nnyo eri Mukama. ‘Banaabe bange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye, ‘ku lunaku lwe nnaakuŋŋaanya ebyange eby’omuwendo.’ Review and Herald, Maayi 5, 1903.

The authority of the Holy Spirit, the authority of Sister White and the inspired endorsement of Jones and Waggoner were rejected in 1888, as Korah had done with the authority of Moses.

Obuyinza bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, obuyinza bwa Mukyala White, n’obuwagizi obw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu obwawebwa eri Jones ne Waggoner byagaanyiibwa mu 1888, nga Kola bwe yajeemera obuyinza bwa Musa.

> “Thus the message of the third angel will be proclaimed. As the time comes for it to be given with greatest power, the Lord will work through humble instruments, leading the minds of those who consecrate themselves to His service. The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the inroads of spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who have never heard words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from heaven. As the people go to their former teachers with the eager inquiry, Are these things so? the ministers present fables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears and quiet the awakened conscience. But since many refuse to be satisfied with the mere authority of men and demand a plain ‘Thus saith the Lord,’ the popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, filled with anger as their authority is questioned, will denounce the message as of Satan and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it.” The Great Controversy, 606.

> Bw’otyo obubaka bwa malayika ow’okusatu bunaabuulirwa. Nga ekiseera eky’okubuweereza n’amaanyi amasinga ennyo kituuka, Mukama alikola ng’akozesa ebikozesebwa ebyetoowaze, ng’akulembera ebirowoozo by’abo abyeewayo okuweereza kwe. Abakozi bajja kusobozesebwa n’okusiigibwa kw’Omwoyo gwe okusinga okutendekebwa mu bitongole by’ensoma. Abasajja abakkiriza era ab’okusaba balikakasibwa okugenda mu bugumu obutukuvu, ne balangirira ebigambo Katonda by’abawa. Ebibi bya Babilooni bijja kubikkulibwa. Ebyavaamu eby’entiisa eby’okusindika abantu okukuuma obulombolombo bw’ekkanisa nga bikakasibwa obuyinza bw’eggwanga, okuyingira kw’okukoleragana n’emmizimu, n’entambuza ey’ekwekwe naye ey’amangu y’obuyinza bwa Paapa—byonna bijja kubikkulibwa. Olw’ebirabula eby’amaanyi ebyo, abantu bajja kuzukusibwa. Emitwalo n’emitwalo gy’abantu bajja okuwulira, abo abatasoose kuwulira bigambo ng bino. Nga beewuunya bawulira obujulirwa nti Babilooni ye kkanisa egudde olw’ensobi n’ebibi byayo, olw’okugaana amazima ag’amuweerezeddwa okuva mu ggulu. Abantu bwe bagenda eri bayigiriza baabwe abaasooka nga babuuza n’obwegwanyiza nti, “Ebyo bwe bityo ddala?”, abasumba baleeta ensomi z’obulimba, ne balagula ebigambo ebisanyusa, okukendeeza entiisa yaabwe era okukyamya eddoboozi ly’omutima erizukkuse. Naye kubanga bangi bagaana okukkiriziganya ku buyinza bw’abantu bwokka ne basaba ekigambo ekituufu nti, “Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama,” abasumba abamanyikiddwa mu bantu bangi, nga Bafalisaayo ab’edda, nga bajjudde obusungu kubanga obuyinza bwabwe bubuusibwamu, balikwatirako nti obubaka buno bwa Setaani, era bazuukuse mu bantu abawagala ekibi abangi okuswaza, okuvuma, n’okubonyaabonya abo abakibuulira. Empaka Enkulu, 606.

The stammering lips from the slums of Nazareth arrived at the “debate” of Isaiah twenty-seven.

Emimwa egy’esittama mu kwogera okuva mu bitundu eby’obwavu eby’e Nazaaleti gyatuuka ku "okuwakana" okw’Isaaya 27.

> In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. Isaiah 27:8.

> Mu kigero, bwe kifulumira, ojja kuwakanira n'akyo: akomya omuyaga gwe omukambwe ku lunaku lw'omuyaga ogw'ebuvanjuba. Isaaya 27:8.

The “east wind” of Islam, represented as “the third woe,” and also “the angering of the nations” was released and immediately restrained on 9/11.

“Omuyaga ogw’Obuvanjuba” ogw’Obusiraamu, oguyimirizibwa ng’ “obuyinike obw’okusatu,” era n’ “okusunguwazibwa kw’amawanga,” gwalekululwa era ne guziyizibwa amangu ddala ku 9/11.

> “At that time, while the work of salvation is closing, trouble will be coming on the earth, and the nations will be angry, yet held in check so as not to prevent the work of the third angel. At that time the ‘latter rain,’ or refreshing from the presence of the Lord, will come, to give power to the loud voice of the third angel, and prepare the saints to stand in the period when the seven last plagues shall be poured out.” Early Writings, 85.

> "Mu biro ebyo, nga omulimu ogw’obulokovu guggalawo, ennaku zijja ku nsi, era amawanga ganyiiga, naye galiziyizibwa obutatangira omulimu gw’omulayika ow’okusatu. Mu biro ebyo 'enkuba ey’oluvannyuma,' oba okuzzaamu amaanyi okuva mu maaso ga Mukama, ejja okuwa amaanyi eddoboozi eddene ly’omulayika ow’okusatu, era n’okutegeka abatukuvu okuyimirira mu kiseera lwe bijja okuyiwibwa ebiboko musanvu eby’enkomerero." Early Writings, 85.

Moses, Ellen White, A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner then took their position at 9/11 as the watchmen of Habakkuk chapter two, who asked what they will say during Isaiah’s “debate,” that begins when the east wind arrives. Isaiah says the “debate” is what purges the sins from God’s people.

Moses, Ellen White, A. T. Jones ne E. J. Waggoner ne beeyimiriza ku 9/11 nga abakuumi ba Abakkuku essuula ey’okubiri, abaabuza kye banaayogera mu 'okuwakana' kwa Isaaya, okutandika nga empewo ey’ebuvanjuba etuuse. Isaaya agamba nti 'okuwakana' kwe kutukuza abantu ba Katonda okuva ku bibi byabwe.

> In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Isaiah 27:8, 9.

> Mu kipimo, bwe kizamuka, onookiwakana nakyo; ayimiriza omuyaga gwe ogw’ekikambwe mu lunaku lw’omuyaga ogw’ebuvanjuba. Olw’ekyo obujeemu bwa Yakobo bunaazibwamu; era kino kye kibala kye kyonna ekiggyaawo ekibi kye: bwe afuula amayinja gonna g’ekyoto ng’amayinja ga kalayimu agamenyeddwamenyedwamu, ebibira n’ebifaananyi tebijja kuyimirira. Isaaya 27:8, 9.

The “debate” over the latter rain being measured at 9/11, when Islam was released and then restrained, is how Jacob’s iniquities are removed, thus turning Jacob into Israel. The biblical transition of Jacob, a covenant representative man, unto Israel is identifying 1856, when the Philadelphian Millerite movement, became the Laodicean Millerite movement, that seven years later would become the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church. That transition in Millerite history identifies a waymark in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand when the Laodicean movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand changes unto the Philadelphian movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That transition point is when Jacob, meaning the supplanter, changes unto Israel, meaning the overcomer.

Empaka ku nsonga y’enkuba y’enkomerero okubeera nga epimibwa ku 9/11, lwe Obusiraamu bwatululwa ne bulyoka bukomebwa, zitegeeza engeri obwonoonyi bwa Yakobo bwe bujjibwamu, ne kityo Yakobo n’akyusibwa n’afuuka Isirayiri. Okukyuka okuli mu Bayibuli okuva Yakobo, omusajja omuyimiririzi w’endagaano, okufuuka Isirayiri, kulaga omwaka gwa 1856, lwe ekibiina kya Millerite eky’e Firaderfiya ne kifuuka ekibiina kya Millerite eky’e Lawodikiya, era nga oluvannyuma lw’emyaka musanvu ne kifuuka Ekkanisa ya Abadiventisti b’Olunaku Ol’omusanvu ey’e Lawodikiya. Okukyuka okwo mu byafaayo bya Millerite kulaga akalambe mu byafaayo by’ab’emitwalo kkumi nnya n’enkumi nnya, lwe ekibiina kya Lawodikiya eky’ab’emitwalo kkumi nnya n’enkumi nnya kyuuka ne kifuuka ekibiina kya Firaderfiya eky’ab’emitwalo kkumi nnya n’enkumi nnya. Ekifo eky’okukyuka ekyo kye kiseera Yakobo, kitegeeza ‘awamba ekifo’, lwe yeefuula Isirayiri, kitegeeza ‘omuwanguzi’.

The “debate” purges Jacob’s iniquities and he becomes Israel the overcomer. Those represented as Israel overcome by the blood of the Word and the word of their testimony.

“Empaka” zitukuza ebibi bya Yakobo era n’afuuka Isirayiri omuwanguzi. Abo abakiikirizibwa ng’Isirayiri bawangula olw’omusaayi gw’Ekigambo n’ekigambo ky’obujulizi bwabwe.

> And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11.

> Ne bamuwangula olw'omusaayi gw'Omwana gw'Endiga, n'olw'ekigambo eky'obujulirwa bwabwe; so tebaayagala obulamu bwabwe okutuusa ku kufa. Okubikkulirwa 12:11.

The “word of their testimony” is the message that Habakkuk’s watchman asked to understand. It represents their sanctification and the blood of the Lamb, their justification.

"Ekigambo eky'obujulizi bwabwe" kye obubaka omukuumi wa Habakkuku bwe yasaba okutegeera. Kikiikirira okutukuzibwa kwabwe n'omusaayi gw'Omwana gw'Endiga, ogw'okutuukirizibwa kwabwe.

> I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. Habakkuk 2:1.

> Ndiyimirira ku mulimu gwange ogw'okukuuma, ne nneesimba ku munara; ndirindirira okulaba ky'anaangamba, n'ekyo kye ndiddamu bwe nnenyebwa. Habakkuku 2:1.

The word “reproved” means “argued with,” and represents Isaiah’s “debate” that removes Jacob’s sins. The watchman in Habakkuk wants to know what his testimony is to be, and he is informed that Habakkuk’s tables are the message that would allow those who wished to read to run through the Scriptures and find the message of justification by faith. Habakkuk two clearly identifies the watchman at the end of the first four verses, as being in the class who are justified by faith.

Ekyigambo "reproved" kitegeeza "okwogera naye mu mpaka," era kiraga "empaka" eza Isaaya ezigyawo ebibi bya Yakobo. Omulindirizi mu Habakkuku ayagala okumanya kye kinaabanga obujulizi bwe, era bamutegeeza nti obubaka obuwandiikiddwa ku mabao ga Habakkuku bukiriza abo abagala okusoma okudduka nga bayita mu Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu ne basanga obubaka bw’okutwalirwa mu butuukirivu olw’okukkiriza. Habakkuku essuula ey’okubiri, ku nkomerero y’ebigambo ebisooka bina, ebulambulula bulungi nti omulindirizi ali mu kibiina ky’abo abatwalirwa mu butuukirivu olw’okukkiriza.

> Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4.

> Laba, omwoyo gwe ogw'eyimuse si mugolokofu mu ye; naye omutuukirivu aliba mulamu olw'okukkiriza kwe. Abakkuki 2:4.

The message upon those two tables are the old paths of Jeremiah. But when Jeremiah’s watchman sounded the trumpet, the class of rebels, whose souls are lifted up, refused to hear. They were the same class in the previous verse, who refused to walk in the old paths in order to find the rest and refreshing.

Obubaka obuli ku bibao ebyo ebibiri bulaga amakubo ag’edda Yeremiya ge yayogerako. Naye omulindirizi wa Yeremiya bwe yafuuyira ekikondere, ekibinja ky’abajeemu, ab’emmeeme zaabwe ezikuziddwa, bagaana okuwulira. Baali ekibinja kye kimu ekyogereddwako mu nnyiriri eyasooka, abaagaana okutambula mu makubo ag’edda okusobola okufuna okuwummula n’okuzzaamu amaanyi.

> Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Jeremiah 6:16, 17.

> Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Muyimirire mu makubo, mutunule, mubuuzenga ku makubo ag’edda, omukubo omulungi gwe muli, mugutambulengamu, mulisangamu okusaanuuka kw’emyoyo gyammwe. Naye ne bagamba nti, Tetugugendamu. Era nate ne mbalondera abeekuuma ku mmwe, nga mbagamba nti, Muwulirize eddoboozi ly’akadebe. Naye ne bagamba nti, Tetuliwuliriza. Yeremiya 6:16, 17.

The watchmen that are set over God’s people at 9/11 were Moses, Ellen White, Jones and Waggoner, represented by Moses’ stammering lips, which was represented by his fear of speaking in the Egyptian language, a language that he had not used for forty years. In relation to all the Hebrews and the mixed multitude that came through the Red Sea with Moses, Moses was the guy with the foreign accent. His accent was the Nazarene accent. Peter also had his accent marked out.

Abakuumi abateekebwako ku bantu ba Katonda ku 9/11 baali Musa, Ellen White, Jones ne Waggoner, nga kino kyakiikirizibwa emimwa gya Musa egy'ajjega, ekyo ekyalabikira mu kutya kwe okwogera mu lulimi lw'Abamisiri, olulimi lwe yali atakozesezza okumala emyaka amakumi ana. Eri Abeebbulayimu bonna n'ekibiina ekivangavanga abaayita Ennyanja Emyufu ne Musa, Musa ye yali oyo alina enjogera ey'ensi endala. Enjogera ye yali eyo ey'Omunazaalere. Ne Peetero naye enjogera ye yamenyekananga.

> And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. Matthew 26:73.

> Awo bwe wayitawo akaseera katono, abo abaali bayimiridde awo ne bajja gy’ali, ne bagamba Peetero, Mazima ddala naawe oli omu ku bo; kubanga enjogera yo ekukuwaayo. Matayo 26:73.

In the debate of Peter’s history, he lied three times, and was distinguished in the debate by his accent, or his stammering tongue. One class in the debate asked God, “what am I to say in the debate.” They “see” the old paths and they “listen” to the sound of the trumpet. They see and hear, and when they finally “debate,” they overcome. The message to overcome in the latter days is represented as the Laodicean message. Unlike the Laodicean church, the Philadelphian church has no condemnation.

Mu mpaka ku byafaayo bya Peetero, yalimba emirundi esatu, era mu mpaka yategeerekeka olw’ettone lye, oba olw’okuboggola kwe mu njogera. Ekibiina kimu mu mpaka kyabuza Katonda nti, "Nkyogere ki mu mpaka." "Balaba" emikubo egy’edda era "bawulira" eddoboozi ly’ekkondeere. Balaba era bawulira, era bwe bamaliriza "okuteesa", bawangula. Obubaka obw’okuwangula mu nnaku ez’enkomerero bukiikirizibwa ng’obubaka bwa Laodikeya. Si nga kkanisa eya Laodikeya; kkanisa eya Firadefiya tewaliko kusalirwa musango.

> Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:12, 13.

> Oyo awangula ndimufuula olupagi mu yeekaalu ya Katonda wange; era tajja kuvaayo nate; era ndimuwandiikako erinnya lya Katonda wange, n’erinnya ery’ekibuga kya Katonda wange, Yerusaalemi Empya, ekikka okuva mu ggulu okuva eri Katonda wange; era ndimuwandiikako erinnya lyange eriggya. Alina okutu, awulire Omwoyo ky’ayogera eri amakkanisa. Okubikkulirwa 3:12, 13.

In spite of having no condemnation, the promise to Philadelphia is only for those “that overcome.” The Philadelphian church is contrasted with the Laodicean church, and it is distinguished by a class that needs to overcome, and a class that has overcame. The Philadelphian church is contrasted with the Laodicean church and the Laodicean church are the foolish virgins of Matthew 25.

Wadde nga tewali kusalirwako musango, ekisuubizo eri Filadelfiya kya "abawangula" bokka. Ekkanisa e Filadelfiya egerageranyizibwa n’eya Lawodikiya, era okweyawulamu kwazo kulabikira mu bibiina bibiri: ekimu ekyetaaga okuwangula, n’ekirala ekyawangula dda. Ekkanisa e Filadelfiya egerageranyizibwa n’eya Lawodikiya, era ekkanisa e Lawodikiya ye “abawala abasirusiru” ab’omu Matayo 25.

> “The state of the Church represented by the foolish virgins, is also spoken of as the Laodicean state.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

> Embeera y'Ekkanisa eyayimiririrwa abawala abasirusiru, era eyogerwako ng'eyitibwa embeera ya Lawodikiya. Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

At 9/11, when the angel descended at the collapse of the Twin Towers, Jones and Waggoner began the presentation of the Laodicean message, and the debate of the latter rain began. Jeremiah’s trumpet message is the seventh trumpet, which is the third woe, which is Islam as identified in the old paths represented by the truths, ALL of the truths, represented upon Habakkuk’s 1843 and 1850 tables. The Laodicean message is the only hope of salvation, and the word salvation means healing. Whether Christ portrays Himself as knocking on the door of a Laodiceans’ heart, or promising the Laodicean that if they will make peace with Him, He will make peace with them, it is only the message of healing that is offered to a Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist.

Ku 9/11, nga malayika bwe yakka mu kiseera Twin Towers bwe zaagwa, Jones ne Waggoner baatandika okutegeeza obubaka bwa Lawodikiya, era empaka ku nkuba ey'ekkomerero ne zitandika. Obubaka bw'ekkondeere bwa Yeremiya kye kkondeere ey'omusanvu, era y'ennaku ey'okusatu, era ye Obusiraamu, nga bwe kimanyiddwa mu nzira ez'edda eziyimirizibwa mu mazima — amazima gonna — agalambiddwa ku mapeesa ga Habakkuku aga 1843 n'aga 1850. Obubaka bwa Lawodikiya kye kyokka essuubi ery'obulokozi, era ekigambo 'obulokozi' kitegeeza 'okuwonya'. Woba nga Kristo yeeyolesa ng'akuba ku mulyango gw'omutima gw'ow'e Lawodikiya, oba ng'asuubiza ow'e Lawodikiya nti bw'anaakola emirembe naye, naye anamukolera emirembe, obubaka bw'okuwonya bwokka bwe buweebwa omwadiventisti w'Olunaku olw'Omusanvu ow'e Lawodikiya.

## The Fourth Messianic Waymark is the Laodicean message of 9/11

Akabonero ak’okuna aka Masiya ke obubaka bwa Lawodikiya obwa 9/11

> That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Matthew 8:17.

> Ebyayogerwa Nnabbi Isaaya byatuukirira nti, Ye yennyini yatwala obunafu bwaffe, n’atikkira endwadde zaffe. Matayo 8:17.

## Prediction

Okuteebereza

> Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4.

> Mazima yatikkira obulwadde bwaffe, era n’atwala ennaku zaffe; naye ffe twamulowooza ng’akubiddwa, ng’akubiddwa Katonda, era ng’anyigiriziddwa. Isaaya 53:4.

> And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

> Era eri malayika w’ekkanisa ey’ab’e Laodikiya wandiika; Ebyo byogera Ameni, omujulizi omwesigwa era omutuufu, entandikwa y’okutonda kwa Katonda; Mmanyi emirimu gyo, nti toli nnyogoga wadde wa bugumu: nandyagadde nga oli nnyogoga oba wa bugumu. Noolwekyo kubanga ofudumala, era toli nnyogoga wadde wa bugumu, ndikuwalula okuva mu kamwa kange.

> Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

> Kubanga ogamba nti, Ndi mugagga, era nfunye ebintu bingi, so sirina kye nkyetaaga kyonna; naye tomanyi nti oli wa nnaku ennyo, era ow'obonaabona, era omwavu, era ompofu, era omulamba:

> I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

> Nkuwa amagezi ogule ku nze zaabu eyagezesebwa mu muliro, olyoke obeere mugagga; n’ebyambalo ebyeru, olyoke oyambale, ensónyi z’obwereere bwo zitalabike; era osiige eddagala ly’amaaso ku maaso go, olyoke olabe.

> As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:14–22.

> Bonna be njagala, nkangavvula ne mbabonereza; kale weyolesi, onenye. Laba, mpimiridde ku mulyango ne nkonkona: bw’abaawo awulira eddoboozi lyange n’aggulawo omulyango, njaayingira gy’ali, ne ndya naye emmere y’ekiro, era naye nange. Oyo awangula, ndimukkiriza atuule nange ku entebe y’obwakabaka bwange, nga nange bwe nawangula ne ntuula wamu ne Kitange ku ntebe ye. Alina okutu, awulire kye Omwoyo ayogera eri amakkanisa. Okubikkulirwa 3:14-22.

The counsel to buy gold and white raiment and to anoint the eyes is the stated remedy for a condition that ends in eternal death, not just death. Whatever problems that the gold, raiment and anointing might remedy, those problems easily align with Christ taking our infirmities. John was incarcerated in Patmos for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus, which is the Spirit of Prophecy. The Spirit of Prophecy is the remedy for Laodicea, and the healing properties of the Spirit of Prophecy were typified by Christ taking our infirmities and bearing our griefs.

Amagezi ag’okugula zaabu n’engoye enjeru era n’okusiiga amafuta g’amaaso galangiriddwa nga eddagala ku mbeera egaggwa mu kufa okw’obutaggwaawo, si kufa kwa bulijjo. Obuzibu bwonna obuzaabu, ebyambalo n’okusiiga byandisobodde okulongoosa, obwo butuukana bulungi n’ekyo nti Kristo eyakwata obunafu bwaffe. Yokaana yaggalirwa e Patimo olw’Ekigambo kya Katonda n’Obujulirwa bwa Yesu, obwo bwe Mwoyo ogw’Obunnabbi. Omwoyo ogw’Obunnabbi ye ddagala lya Laodikeya, era obusobozi obujjanjabi bwagwo bwalabirizibwa mu Kristo eyakwata obunafu bwaffe n’ayitikka ennaku zaffe.

The only way for Christ to take are infirmities is if we open our heart door and allow the combination of His Divinity with our humanity. He takes our infirmities when He enters into our lives through the presence of the Holy Spirit. We open the door by accomplishing the remedy. The remedy that opens the heart is gold, white raiment and eye salve. The eye salve is the enlightenment of God’s Word that is only accomplished by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is a lamp unto our feet, and the light that lightens the pathway is the light of the Midnight Cry.

Engeri yokka Kristo gy’ayinza okutwala obunafu bwaffe, ye okuggulawo omulyango gw’omutima gwaffe ne tukkiriza okwegatta kwa Obwakatonda bwe n’obuntu bwaffe. Atwala obunafu bwaffe ng’ayingira mu bulamu bwaffe okuyita mu kubeerawo kwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu. Tuggulawo omulyango nga tukozesa eddagala. Eddagala eriggulawo omutima lye zzaabu, ebyambalo ebyeru, n’eddagala ly’amaaso. Eddagala ly’amaaso lye okutegeezebwa kw’Ekigambo kya Katonda, era kino kikolebwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu yekka. Baibuli ye ttabaaza eri ebigere byaffe, era omusana ogumanyisa ekkubo gwe musana gw’Okukaaba kwa ttumbi ly’ekiro.

> Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105.

> Ekigambo kyo kye ettaala eri ebigere byange, n'omusana ku kkubo lyange. Zabbuli 119:105.

When a Laodicean is counselled to anoint his eyes, he is to do so with the Word of God, which is a lamp, but as represented in the parable of the ten virgins, a lamp is useless without oil. The Laodicean’s have their Bibles, though generally not the King James Version, but they have not the oil of the Holy Spirit. The anointing of the Laodicean eyes is accomplished by a message that contains the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Bw’awaabwa amagezi ow’e Lawodikiya okusiiga amaaso ge, akikole ng’akozesa Ekigambo kya Katonda, kye ttala; naye, nga bwe kiragibwa mu lugero lw’abawala ekkumi, ettaala terina mugaso nga temuli mafuta. Ab’e Lawodikiya balina Baibuli zaabwe, wadde nga singasinga si Enkyusa ya King James, naye tebalina mafuta g’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Okusiigibwa kw’amaaso g’ab’e Lawodikiya kutuukirizibwa mu bubaka oburimu okubeerawo kw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

The gold that a Laodicean is counselled to buy is not simply faith, but faith that works by love and purifies the soul. As with the eye salve, the gold has a counterfeit Laodicean profession. A Laodicean professes, as does all of Christendom, that they have “faith.” That type of faith is simply human belief, and a counterfeit of the faith represented as gold, for that faith purifies the soul. It is a faith that sanctifies, and those who possess a genuine sanctified faith are holy, for sanctified means to be made holy. Laodiceans have not that faith, for if they did, Christ would not be on the outside, seeking entrance.

Zaabu Omulawodikiya gy'agambibwa okugula si kukkiriza kwokka, wabula okukkiriza okukolera mu kwagala era okutukuza emmeeme. Ng'eky'eddagala ery'amaaso bwe kiri, ne zaabu eno erina okwewaana okw'obulimba okw'Abalawodikiya. Omulawodikiya agamba, nga ne Obukristaayo bwonna bwe bugamba, nti alina 'okukkiriza.' Okukkiriza okwo kwe kukkiriza kwa muntu kwokka, era kya bulimba mu kifo ky'okukkiriza ekirabikirizibwa ng'zaabu; kubanga okukkiriza okwo kutukuza emmeeme. Kye kukkiriza okutukuza, era abo abalina okukkiriza okutukuziddwa ddala be batukuvu, kubanga 'okutukuzibwa' kitegeeza okukolebwa butukuvu. Abalawodikiya tebalina kukkiriza okwo; kubanga singa baalina, Kristo tewandibadde ebweru ng'anoonya okuyingira.

> “There is no middle path to Paradise restored. The message given to man for these last days is not to become amalgamated with human devising. We are not to lean upon the policy of worldly lawyers. We must be humble men of prayer, not acting like those who are blinded by Satan’s agencies.

> Tewali kkubo ly’awakati erituusa ku Palaadiiso eyazzibwaawo. Obubaka obuwaiddwa omuntu olw’ennaku zino ez’enkomerero buli buno: temugattagana n’enteekateeka z’abantu. Tetulina kwesigama ku nkola ya b’avvoka ab’ensi. Tuteekwa okuba abantu abetoowaze, abasaba, nga tetukola ng’abo abazibiddwa amaaso olw’ebikozesebwa bya Sitaani.

> “Many have a faith, but not a faith that works by love and purifies the soul. Saving faith is not simply a mere belief of the truth. ‘The devils also believe, and tremble.’ The inspiration of the Spirit of God gives to men a faith that is an impelling power that molds character, and leads men higher than mere formal actions. The words, the actions, and the spirit are to bear testimony to the fact that we are followers of Christ.

> Abangi balina okukkiriza, naye si okukkiriza okukola mu kwagala ne okutukuza emmeeme. Okukkiriza okulokola si kukkiriza kwokka ku mazima. ‘Ne badayimooni nabo bakkiriza, era beekangabwa.’ Okusikirizibwa kw’Omwoyo wa Katonda kuwa abantu okukkiriza okw’amaanyi agasindika agatondeza ekikula ky’omuntu, era n’okubatuusa ku mutendera ogw’awaggulu ogusinga ebikolwa eby’obwa maaso byokka. Ebigambo, ebikolwa, n’omwoyo biteekwa okuwa obujulizi nti tuli abagoberera ba Kristo.

> “The greatest light and blessing that God has bestowed is not a security against transgression and apostasy in these last days. Those whom God has exalted to high positions of trust may turn from heaven’s light to human wisdom. Their light will then become darkness, their God-entrusted capabilities a snare, their character an offense to God. God will not be mocked. A departure from Him has been and always will be followed by its sure results. The commission of acts that displease God will, unless decidedly repented of and forsaken, instead of seeking to justify them, lead the evildoer on step by step in deception till many sins are committed with impunity. All who would possess a character that would make them laborers together with God and receive the commendation of God, must separate themselves from the enemies of God, and maintain the truth which Christ gave to John to give to the world.” Manuscript Releases, volume 18, 30–36.

> Ekitangaala ekisinga obunene n’omukisa omusinga Katonda by’awa si kikuumi ku kumenya amateeka newaakubadde okuva mu kukkiriza mu nnaku zino ez’enkomerero. Abo Katonda b’abagulumizza mu bifo eby’obwesigwa eby’awaggulu bayinza okwava mu kitangaala ky’eggulu ne beesigamira ku magezi g’abantu. Ekitangaala kyabwe ne kiba kizikiza, obusobozi Katonda b’aba ababakwasizza ne biba omutego, empisa zaabwe ne ziba ebiswaza Katonda. Katonda tasekererwa. Okuvamu gy’ali kibadde era kijja bulijjo okugobererwa ebivuddeko byakyo ebyekakasa. Okukola ebikolwa ebitasanyusa Katonda, singa tebyenenyezebwako mu mazima era ne birekebwa ddala, naye omuntu n’agezaako okubirwanirira ng’ayagala okubituukiriza, kujja okukulembera omukola obubi mu bulimba, bitundu ku bitundu, okutuusa lw’akolanga ebibi bingi nga talyisibwa.

Manuscript Releases, Voliyuumu 18, empapula 30-36.

The “white raiment” is the righteousness of Christ.

"Ekyambalo ekyeru" kye butuukirivu bwa Kristo.

> Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19:7–9.

> Tusanyuke ne tujaguze, era tumuwe ekitiibwa; kubanga obugole bw’Omwana gw’Endiga butuuse, era mukazi we yeetegekedde. Era n’aweebwa okuyambala ekyambalo kya lineni ekirungi, ekirongoofu era ekyeru; kubanga ekyambalo kya lineni ekirungi kye butuukirivu bw’abatukuvu. Era n’aŋŋamba nti, Wandiika, Balina omukisa abo abayitiddwa ku mbaga y’obugole ey’Omwana gw’Endiga. Era n’aŋŋamba nti, Ebyo bye bigambo bya Katonda eby’amazima. Okubikkulirwa 19:7-9.

The wife made herself ready by applying the threefold remedy offered to Laodicea, and in so doing, transformed herself into a Philadelphian bride. The verses are directly speaking to Adventism, which is represented in the parable of the ten virgins. The virgins are those waiting to go to the wedding they have been called to. The bride made herself ready, for it was granted in Zechariah chapter three, with Joshua and the angel. There her filthy Laodicean garment was removed and replaced with the white linen marriage garment. The remedy bears a second witness within the name of Ellen Gould White. Ellen means a bright and shining light, and represents the eye salve. Gould is the old English word for gold, and means gold. White represents righteousness, and the name was not given to her until 1846, when she married James. Her name then changed to White. The name change and marriage are both symbols of a covenant relationship. Before the marriage her name was Harmon, which means a soldier of peace, as she then was. Ellen White is the Laodicean message, and to reject her is to reject salvation!

Omukyala yeetegekera ng’akozesa eddagala ery’obujjanjabi obusatu eryaweereddwa e Lawodikiya, era mu kikolwa ekyo n’akyusibwa n’afuuka omugole ow’e Filadelfiya. Ebyawandiiko ebyo byogera butereevu ku Abadiventisiti, abakiikirirwa mu ngero ey’abawala ab’obugole kkumi. Abawala abo ab’obugole be b’abo abalindirira okugenda mu mbaga y’obugole gye baayitiddwa. Omugole yeetegekera, kubanga ekyo kyakkirizibwa era ne kyayolesebwa mu Zekaliya essuula essatu, ku Yoswa n’om malaika. Eyo olugoye lwe olutali bulongoofu olw’e Lawodikiya ne luggyibwako ne lusikizibwamu olugoye lwa lineni olw’erweru olw’embaga y’obugole. Eddagala eryo lirina omujulirwa ow’okubiri mu linnya lya Ellen Gould White. Ellen kitegeeza ekitangaala ekimurika nnyo, era kiyimirira eddagala ly’amaaso. Gould kigambo kya Lungereza enkadde ekitegeeza zaabu, era kitegeeza zaabu. White kiyimirira obutuukirivu, era erinnya eryo teyaliweebwa okutuusa mu 1846, bwe yafumbirwa James. Olwo erinnya lye ne ly’afuuka White. Okukyusibwa kw’erinnya n’obufumbo byombi bubonero bw’endagaano. Nga tannafumbirwa erinnya lye lyaali Harmon, eritegeeza omusirikale w’emirembe, nga bwe yali olwo. Ellen White ye obubaka bwa Lawodikiya, era okumugaana kwe kugaanira obulokozi!

> Bwe kiba nga waliwo abantu abalondoolwa mu bubaka bwa Lawodikiya, abo be bantu abafunye omusana omungi, okubikkulirwa kw’Ebyawandiikibwa, kwe Abadiventisti b’Olunaku olw’Omusanvu baafuna. Manuscript Releases, ekitundu 18, 193.

> “The true commandment-keeping people of God show to the world a character of unspotted integrity, testifying by their own course of action that the law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. Thus the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, through His obedience to the law of God, exalted and made that law honorable. God will surely condemn every member of every church claiming to be Seventh-day Adventist, who is not doing Him service, but through pride, selfishness, and worldliness, is showing that the truth of heavenly origin has not worked a reformation in his character.

> Abantu ba Katonda ab’amazima abakuuma amateeka balaga ensi ekikula eky’obwesimbu obutaliiko bbala, nga bajjuliza mu bikolwa byabwe nti etteeka lya Mukama lituukiridde, likyusa omwoyo. Bw’ati Mukama Yesu, Omwana wa Katonda, olw’obugondero bwe eri etteeka lya Katonda, yakuza etteeka eryo era n’alifuula ery’ekitiibwa. Katonda ddala ajja kusalira omusango buli memba wa buli kkanisa eyeyita eya Abadiventisiti b’Olunaku olw’Omusanvu, atamuweereza, naye olw’okwenyumiriza, okwetaaga kwokka, n’okwagala eby’ensi, alaga nti amazima agava mu ggulu tegakoze enkyukakyuka mu kikula kye.

> “Please read carefully Revelation 3:15–18. The voice of Jesus Christ is heard. ‘As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore [not half-hearted], and repent. Behold, I [your Saviour] stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcome, and am set down with My Father in His throne’ [Revelation 3:19–21].

> Nsaba osome n’obwegendereza Okubikkulirwa 3:15-18. Eddoboozi lya Yesu Kristo liwulirwa. ‘Bonna be njagala, mbalanga era mbabonereza: kale munyiikire [si bwa mutima ogutali gumu], era mwenenye. Laba, nze [Omulokozi wammwe] nnyimiridde ku mulyango, ne nkuba kuwo: omuntu yenna bw’awulira eddoboozi lyange, n’aggulawo omulyango, nnaayingira gy’ali, ne tulye wamu naye, era naye alye nange. Oyo awangula ndimuwa okutuula nange ku nnamulondo gwange, nga nange bwe nawangula, ne ntudde wamu ne Kitange ku nnamulondo we’ [Okubikkulirwa 3:19-21].

> “Will the churches heed the Laodicean message? Will they repent, or will they, notwithstanding that the most solemn message of truth—the third angel’s message—is being proclaimed to the world, go on in sin? This is the last message of mercy, the last warning to a fallen world. If the church of God becomes lukewarm, it does not stand in favor with God any more than do the churches that are represented as having fallen and become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Those who have had opportunities to hear and receive the truth and who have united with the Seventh-day Adventist church, calling themselves the commandment-keeping people of God, and yet possess no more vitality and consecration to God than do the nominal churches, will receive of the plagues of God just as verily as the churches who oppose the law of God. Only those that are sanctified through the truth will compose the royal family in the heavenly mansions Christ has gone to prepare for those that love Him and keep His commandments.

> Amakanisa galigondera obubaka bwa Lawodikiya?

> “‘He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him’ [1 John 2:4]. This includes all who claim to have a knowledge of God, and to keep His commandments, but who do not manifest this by good works. They will receive according to their deeds. ‘Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him’ [1 John 3:6]. This is addressed to all church members, including the members of the Seventh-day Adventist churches. ‘Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother’ [1 John 3:7–10].

> ‘Oyo agamba nti, Mmumanyi, naye n’atakwata biragiro bye, mukyamu, era mazima teguli mu ye’ [1 John 2:4]. Kino kikwata ku bonna abagamba nti bamanyi Katonda, era nti bakwata ebiragiro bye, naye ne batakilaga kino mu bikolwa ebirungi. Bajja okusasulwa ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri. ‘Buli abeera mu ye takola kibi; buli akola ekibi tamulabye wadde okumumanya’ [1 John 3:6]. Bino bigambibwa eri bammemba bonna b’ekkanisa, omuli n’abammemba b’amakanisa g’Abadiventisi ab’Olunaku olw’Omusanvu. ‘Baana abato, temulimbibwa muntu: oyo akola obutuukirivu mutuukirivu, nga naye mutuukirivu bw’ali. Oyo akola ekibi wa Ddiabulooni; kubanga Ddiabulooni akola ekibi okuva ku ntandikwa. Ku lw’ensonga eno Omwana wa Katonda yalabisibwa, alyoke azikirize emirimu gya Ddiabulooni. Buli azalibwa Katonda takola kibi; kubanga ensigo ye ebeera mu ye: era tasobola kukola kibi, kubanga azalibwa Katonda. Mu kino abaana ba Katonda balabikamu, n’abaana ba Ddiabulooni: buli atakola butuukirivu si wa Katonda, wadde atayagala muganda we’ [1 John 3:7-10].

> “All who claim to be Sabbath-keeping Adventists, and yet continue in sin, are liars in God’s sight. Their sinful course is counterworking the work of God. They are leading others into sin. The word comes from God to every member of our churches, ‘And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears’ [Hebrews 12:13–17].

> Bonna abeegamba nti ba Adventisti abakuuma Ssabbiiti, naye ne beeyongerayo mu kibi, bali balimba mu maaso ga Katonda. Ekkubo lyabwe ery’ekibi lirwanyisa omulimu gwa Katonda. Bakulembera abalala mu kibi. Ekigambo kivudde eri Katonda eri buli memba w’amakanisa gaffe, nti, ‘Mutereeze amakubo agatambulirwamu ebigere byammwe, muleme ekiremaye okufulumizibwa mu kkubo; naye kibeereeko kuwonyezebwa. Mugobererenga emirembe n’abantu bonna, era n’obutukuvu, obutayina bwo tewali muntu aliraba Mukama; nga mwegendereza nnyo mulekenga omuntu yenna okubulwa ku kisa kya Katonda; muleme omuzi gw’obwennyivu bwe gumera ne gubateesanga, ne mu ngeri eyo bangi ne batasebwa; mulekenga okubeeramu yenna mwenzi, oba omuntu atali mutukuvu, ng’Esawu, eyatunda obukulu bwe obw’amazaalibwa olw’akagabo kamu k’emmere. Kubanga mumanyi nti oluvannyuma, bwe yayagala okusikira omukisa, yagaanyizibwa; kubanga teyasanga ekifo ky’okwenenya, newaakubadde nga yakinoonya nnyo n’amaziga’ [Abaebbulaniya 12:13-17].

> “This is applicable to many who claim to believe the truth. Rather than give up their lustful practices, they venture on in a wrong line of education under Satan’s deceiving sophistry. Sin is not discerned as sinful. Their very consciences are defiled, their hearts are corrupted, even the thoughts are continually corrupt. Satan uses them as decoys to lure souls to unclean practices which defile the whole being. ‘He that despised Moses’ law [which was the law of God] died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God’ [Hebrews 10:28–31].” Manuscript Releases, volume 19, 175–177.
