The abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet is a sign for Christians in three different eras to flee. The Christians in Jerusalem fled when they saw the standards of the Roman armies encompassing Jerusalem in the year 66 AD. The Christians of the late fifth and early sixth century fled into the wilderness when they saw the man of sin in the temple of God proclaiming that he was God. In 1888 there was a series of Sunday laws introduced into the Congress of the United States by Senator Blair. Those bills were called the Blair bills, and they were an effort to identify Sunday as a National Day of Worship. Sunday worship is the mark of the beast, the mark of papal authority and the Constitution of the United States directly opposes the enforcement of a national religion as a test for the citizens of the United States.

Selang teng desolasi ke de Daniel, sang nabi, beh nyadi siti tanda ngagai orang Kristian dalam tiga jeman ke lain ngambika ngelari. Orang Kristian di Jerusalem udah ngelari lebuh sida meda standard bala tentera Rome ngelilingi Jerusalem dalam taun 66 AD. Orang Kristian ba pengujung abad kelima enggau pun pengawa abad keenam udah ngelari ngagai menua puang lebuh sida meda lelaki dosa nya dalam Bait Allah madahka diri iya nya Allah. Dalam taun 1888 bisi seraban undang-undang hari Minggu dibai ngagai Kongres United States ulih Senator Blair. Rang undang-undang nya dikumbai rang undang-undang Blair, lalu iya nya pengawa deka ngaku hari Minggu sebagai Hari Sembah Kebangsaan. Sembah hari Minggu nya tanda jelu, tanda kuasa kepausan, lalu Perlembagaan United States terus ngelaban penguatkuasaan agama kebangsaan nyadika ujian ngagai rakyat United States.

It is this fact that is left out of the flawed application connected with identifying the United States as modern Rome. A triple application of prophecy possesses specific rules that govern its application. The rules identify that the prophetic characteristics of the first fulfillment are to be combined with the prophetic characteristics of the second fulfillment in order to establish the prophetic characteristics of the third fulfillment.

Sebenarnya hakikat inilah yang diabaikan dalam penerapan yang cacat yang berkaitan dengan pengenalpastian Amerika Syarikat sebagai Roma moden. Suatu penerapan nubuatan yang tiga lapis mempunyai kaedah-kaedah khusus yang mengawal penerapannya. Kaedah-kaedah itu menetapkan bahawa ciri-ciri nubuatan bagi penggenapan yang pertama hendaklah digabungkan dengan ciri-ciri nubuatan bagi penggenapan yang kedua untuk menetapkan ciri-ciri nubuatan bagi penggenapan yang ketiga.

The warning to flee, is a warning to flee from a coming persecution. In Christ’s era the persecution was the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in the year 70. The warning sign of that approaching persecution was given in the year 66 AD. The warning to flee in the late fifth and early sixth century was identified by Paul as the recognition of a falling away of prophetic Pergamos, which represented pagan Rome. There was to be a falling away first, in order for the man of sin who would proclaim himself as God to be revealed. In the history approaching 538, pagan Rome that had restrained, or as Paul stated “withholdeth” was taken away, and as Pergamos fell away and the sign to flee arrived and directed the faithful to separate from the papal churches communion. Then in 538, at the Counsel of Orleans the papal power passed a Sunday law, and the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal persecution began.

Peringatan untuk melarikan diri ialah suatu peringatan untuk melarikan diri daripada penganiayaan yang akan datang. Pada era Kristus, penganiayaan itu ialah kebinasaan Yerusalem dan bait suci pada tahun 70. Tanda amaran bagi penganiayaan yang sedang menghampiri itu telah diberikan pada tahun 66 M. Peringatan untuk melarikan diri pada akhir abad kelima dan awal abad keenam telah dikenal pasti oleh Paulus sebagai pengenalan akan suatu kemurtadan daripada Pergamos yang bersifat nubuatan, yang melambangkan Roma pagan. Haruslah berlaku kemurtadan terlebih dahulu, supaya manusia durhaka yang akan mengisytiharkan dirinya sebagai Tuhan dapat dinyatakan. Dalam sejarah yang menuju kepada tahun 538, Roma pagan yang telah menahan, atau sebagaimana dinyatakan oleh Paulus, “menahan,” telah disingkirkan; dan ketika Pergamos murtad serta tanda untuk melarikan diri tiba, hal itu mengarahkan orang-orang setia supaya memisahkan diri daripada persekutuan gereja-gereja kepausan. Kemudian, pada tahun 538, dalam Konsili Orleans, kuasa kepausan meluluskan suatu undang-undang hari Ahad, dan seribu dua ratus enam puluh tahun penganiayaan kepausan pun bermula.

The first two witnesses identify clearly that the third fulfillment of the warning to flee given by Christ preceded the actual persecution. The destruction of Jerusalem came exactly three and a half years after the siege of Cestius began in 66 AD, thus allowing the Christians to flee in advance of the horrors of the second siege which was instigated by Titus and concluded with the destruction of the temple and city. In advance of the year 538, the Christians separated from the church of papal Rome, and prophetically fled into the wilderness, which represents the destruction of spiritual Jerusalem.

Saksi pertama dan kedua menunjukkan dengan jelas bahawa penggenapan ketiga amaran untuk melarikan diri yang diberikan oleh Kristus telah mendahului penganiayaan yang sebenar. Kemusnahan Yerusalem berlaku tepat tiga setengah tahun selepas kepungan Cestius bermula pada tahun 66 M, sehingga membolehkan orang-orang Kristian melarikan diri terlebih dahulu sebelum kedahsyatan kepungan kedua yang dicetuskan oleh Titus dan diakhiri dengan kemusnahan bait suci dan kota itu. Sebelum tahun 538, orang-orang Kristian memisahkan diri daripada gereja Rom kepausan, dan secara nubuatan melarikan diri ke padang gurun, yang melambangkan kemusnahan Yerusalem rohani.

> But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Revelation 11:2, 3.

> Tetapi pelataran yang di luar Bait Suci itu tinggalkanlah, dan jangan mengukurnya; sebab itu telah diberikan kepada bangsa-bangsa lain; dan kota yang kudus akan mereka injak-injak empat puluh dua bulan lamanya. Dan Aku akan memberi kuasa kepada kedua saksi-Ku, dan mereka akan bernubuat seribu dua ratus enam puluh hari lamanya, dengan berpakaian kain kabung. Wahyu 11:2, 3.

In both illustrations of the warning to flee, the warning precedes the persecution, and the persecution is represented by Rome, whether pagan or papal, trampling down Jerusalem, whether literal or spiritual. The warning to flee for Seventh-day Adventist was the Blair bill in 1888. In the first fulfillment in the history of pagan Rome the Christians were to flee from Jerusalem, and in fulfillment of papal Rome the Christians fled into the wilderness. For Adventism the warning was to flee into the country.

Trong cả hai hình minh họa về lời cảnh báo phải trốn chạy, lời cảnh báo đều đi trước sự bắt bớ, và sự bắt bớ được tượng trưng bởi La Mã, dù là ngoại giáo hay giáo hoàng, đang giày đạp Giê-ru-sa-lem, dù là theo nghĩa đen hay theo nghĩa thiêng liêng. Lời cảnh báo phải trốn chạy dành cho những người Cơ Đốc Phục Lâm ngày thứ bảy là dự luật Blair vào năm 1888. Trong sự ứng nghiệm thứ nhất trong lịch sử của La Mã ngoại giáo, các Cơ Đốc nhân phải trốn khỏi Giê-ru-sa-lem, và trong sự ứng nghiệm của La Mã giáo hoàng, các Cơ Đốc nhân đã trốn vào nơi đồng vắng. Đối với Phục Lâm giáo, lời cảnh báo là phải trốn về miền quê.

> “It is no time now for God’s people to be fixing their affections or laying up their treasure in the world. The time is not far distant, when, like the early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a refuge in desolate and solitary places. As the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to the Judean Christians, so the assumption of power on the part of our nation in the decree enforcing the papal sabbath will be a warning to us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.” Testimonies, volume 5, 464.

> “Khua a ni tawh lo va Pathian mite hian an hmangaihna an remna turah an nghat em em leh an ropui an khawl khawm tur a ni lo. Hun chu hla tak a ni lo va, zirlai hmasate ang khan keini pawh ram ruak leh mi awm lohna hmunah himna zawng tura tihnghelh kan ni dawn a ni. Rom sipai rualte’n Jerusalem an hual lai kha Judia Kristiante tana tlanna hriattirna a nih angin, kan ram hian pope sabbath tihnghehna thupek hmangin thuneihna a lak chuan keini tana vaukhanna a ni dawn a ni. Chutih hunah chuan khawpui liante chu chhuahsan tur a ni ang a, khawpui te zualte pawh chhuahsan hma lawkna atan tlang ram hmun hrang hrang, mi awm hrana awmna in te lam pan tur a ni dawn a ni.” Testimonies, volume 5, 464.

“The assumption of power on the part of our nation in the decree enforcing the papal sabbath will be a warning to us,” was fulfilled when the abomination of desolation, in agreement with Mark’s words was “standing where it ought not.” In 1888, the Congress of the United States was considering a law in direct contradiction to a primary element of the Constitution, and at that point Seventh-day Adventists were to leave the cities and move to the country.

“Perengkuhan kuasa oleh bangsa kita dalam dekri yang menguatkuasakan sabat kepausan akan menjadi suatu amaran kepada kita,” telah digenapi apabila pembinasa keji itu, selaras dengan kata-kata Markus, “berdiri di tempat yang tidak sepatutnya.” Pada tahun 1888, Kongres Amerika Syarikat sedang mempertimbangkan suatu undang-undang yang secara langsung bertentangan dengan suatu unsur utama Perlembagaan, dan pada ketika itu umat Advent Hari Ketujuh harus meninggalkan kota-kota dan berpindah ke kawasan luar bandar.

> “Not one Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem. Christ had given His disciples warning, and all who believed His words watched for the promised sign. . . . Without delay they fled to a place of safety—the city of Pella, in the land of Perea, beyond Jordan.” The Great Controversy, 30.

> “Dalam kebinasaan Yerusalem, seorang pun orang Kristen tidak binasa. Kristus telah memberikan amaran kepada murid-murid-Nya, dan semua yang mempercayai firman-Nya berjaga-jaga menantikan tanda yang telah dijanjikan itu.... Tanpa berlengah mereka melarikan diri ke suatu tempat yang aman—kota Pella, di tanah Perea, di seberang Sungai Yordan.” The Great Controversy, 30.

The prophetic characteristics of the first of the warning signs to flee, represent the third and final fulfillment. Sometimes those prophetic characteristics produce a double fulfillment in the third fulfillment. An example of this is the three Elijah’s. The line of Elijah in his confrontation with Jezebel, Ahab and the prophets of Baal, combined with the characteristics of John the Baptist, the second Elijah, in his confrontation with Herodias, Herod and Salome establish that in the last days, for the third and final fulfillment of a triple application is always in the last days, Elijah and John represent two classes of God’s people. One class represented by Elijah do not die, and the other class represented by John do die. The two classes are also represented in Revelation chapter seven as the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who do not die, and the great multitude that do die.

Ciri-ciri nubuatan bagi yang pertama daripada tanda-tanda amaran untuk melarikan diri melambangkan penggenapan yang ketiga dan yang terakhir. Kadangkala ciri-ciri nubuatan itu menghasilkan penggenapan berganda dalam penggenapan yang ketiga. Satu contoh bagi hal ini ialah tiga Elia. Garis Elia dalam pertentangannya dengan Izebel, Ahab, dan nabi-nabi Baal, digabungkan dengan ciri-ciri Yohanes Pembaptis, Elia yang kedua, dalam pertentangannya dengan Herodias, Herodes, dan Salome, menegakkan bahawa pada hari-hari terakhir, kerana penggenapan yang ketiga dan yang terakhir bagi suatu penerapan tiga kali sentiasa berlaku pada hari-hari terakhir, Elia dan Yohanes melambangkan dua golongan umat Tuhan. Satu golongan, yang dilambangkan oleh Elia, tidak mati, dan golongan yang satu lagi, yang dilambangkan oleh Yohanes, mati. Kedua-dua golongan itu juga dilambangkan dalam Wahyu fasal tujuh sebagai seratus empat puluh empat ribu, yang tidak mati, dan kumpulan besar itu yang mati.

In the three Babylon’s a similar element of the prophetic message is that the first Babylon is represented by Nimrod, but the second Babylon is represented by the first and last kings, Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. Nebuchadnezzar represents those in Babylon who will be saved, and Belshazzar, those in Babylon who will be lost.

Dalam ketiga-tiga Babel itu, satu unsur yang serupa dalam pekabaran nubuatan ialah bahawa Babel yang pertama diwakili oleh Nimrod, tetapi Babel yang kedua diwakili oleh raja yang pertama dan yang terakhir, iaitu Nebukadnezar dan Belsyazar. Nebukadnezar melambangkan mereka yang berada di Babel yang akan diselamatkan, dan Belsyazar, mereka yang berada di Babel yang akan binasa.

In the last days there are two Sunday laws that are the subject of Bible prophecy. The first is the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, and the second is the Sunday law that is forced upon the entire world. Those two Sunday laws were typified by the Sunday law of pagan Rome, when in the year 321, Constantine enforced the first Sunday law, followed by the Sunday law of Papal Rome in 538. Pagan Rome is one of several prophetic types that prefigure the United States, and the Sunday law of 321, typifies the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. The papal Sunday law of 538 typifies the Sunday law that is enforced upon the entire world. The flawed view that the United States is typified by the robbers in Daniel eleven tries to employ the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States as evidence to claim that the Sunday law in the United States proves that the United States is modern Rome, and disregards that there is another Sunday law that is forced upon every nation of the world by the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet.

If a Sunday law in the United States identifies the United States as Modern Rome, then what does the worldwide Sunday law identify? The three Rome’s identify that Modern Rome, which is threefold, will enforce two distinct Sunday laws. The first is in the United States and was typified by Constantine’s Sunday law in 321, and the second is the entire world, as typified by the papal Sunday law of 538. To employ the Sunday law in the United States in the context of a triple application of prophecy to claim that the Sunday law proves who is Modern Rome, is to disregard the prophetic characteristics established by pagan and papal Rome. There are two distinct Sunday laws in the last days, and neither is a proof to identify the robbers of the people are the United States. When the testimony of pagan and papal Rome is misrepresented to uphold a private interpretation, as is currently being done, it demonstrates that those seeking to uphold their private interpretation do not understand type and antitype.

Sebuah undang-undang Ahad di Amerika Syarikat mengenal pasti Amerika Syarikat sebagai Rom Moden, maka apakah yang dikenal pasti oleh undang-undang Ahad sedunia? Ketiga-tiga Rom itu mengenal pasti bahawa Rom Moden, yang bersifat tiga serangkai, akan menguatkuasakan dua undang-undang Ahad yang berbeza. Yang pertama ialah di Amerika Syarikat dan telah ditipologikan oleh undang-undang Ahad Constantine pada tahun 321, dan yang kedua ialah seluruh dunia, sebagaimana ditipologikan oleh undang-undang Ahad kepausan pada tahun 538. Menggunakan undang-undang Ahad di Amerika Syarikat dalam konteks penerapan nubuatan secara tiga kali lipat untuk mendakwa bahawa undang-undang Ahad itu membuktikan siapakah Rom Moden, bererti mengabaikan ciri-ciri nubuatan yang telah ditetapkan oleh Rom kafir dan Rom kepausan. Terdapat dua undang-undang Ahad yang berbeza pada akhir zaman, dan kedua-duanya bukanlah bukti untuk mengenal pasti bahawa perompak-perompak umat itu ialah Amerika Syarikat. Apabila kesaksian Rom kafir dan Rom kepausan disalahgambarkan untuk menegakkan suatu tafsiran peribadi, sebagaimana yang sedang dilakukan pada masa ini, hal itu menunjukkan bahawa mereka yang berusaha menegakkan tafsiran peribadi mereka tidak memahami tipe dan antitipe.

Pagan Rome is a type of the United States, and papal Rome typifies modern Rome. Along with this misapplication of a triple application of prophecy, and the claim that what is being taught is set in the context of “type and antitype,” is the other failure of defining the “abomination of desolation” as it is represented within the context of a triple application of prophecy.

Roma pagan ialah suatu jenis bagi Amerika Syarikat, dan Roma kepausan melambangkan Roma moden. Bersama-sama dengan salah penerapan suatu aplikasi tiga lapis nubuat ini, serta dakwaan bahawa apa yang diajarkan itu diletakkan dalam konteks “jenis dan antijenis,” terdapat juga kegagalan yang satu lagi, iaitu mentakrifkan “kekejian yang membinasakan” sebagaimana hal itu diwakili dalam konteks suatu aplikasi tiga lapis nubuat.

From the year 66 to the year 70 AD, two Roman generals attacked Jerusalem. Both generals, Cestius and Titus began with a siege, but only one withdrew from the siege for a brief period of time, which providentially allowed the Christians to flee. It was the first siege under Cestius that the Christians recognized the warning to flee. When Titus arrived to carry on the warfare against Jerusalem in the year 70 AD, he began with a siege and did not cease until Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed. The warning of Jesus contains two steps. First is the sign to flee, and thereafter the persecution. In the fulfillment of the warning in the fifth and sixth centuries the Christians separated from the corrupt Roman church before 538, and then the persecution began.

Dari tahun 66 hingga tahun 70 M, dua jenderal Romawi menyerang Yerusalem. Kedua jenderal itu, Cestius dan Titus, memulai dengan suatu pengepungan, tetapi hanya satu yang menarik diri dari pengepungan itu untuk suatu masa yang singkat, yang secara providensial memungkinkan orang-orang Kristen melarikan diri. Pengepungan yang pertama di bawah Cestius itulah yang dikenali orang-orang Kristen sebagai peringatan untuk melarikan diri. Ketika Titus tiba untuk melanjutkan peperangan melawan Yerusalem pada tahun 70 M, ia memulai dengan suatu pengepungan dan tidak berhenti sampai Yerusalem dan bait suci dihancurkan. Peringatan Yesus memuat dua langkah. Yang pertama ialah tanda untuk melarikan diri, dan sesudah itu penganiayaan. Dalam penggenapan peringatan itu pada abad kelima dan keenam, orang-orang Kristen memisahkan diri dari gereja Roma yang korup sebelum tahun 538, dan kemudian penganiayaan pun dimulai.

Paul is very clear that all the recorded history of ancient Israel was written for those living in the last days, and that all those histories were types, although the Greek word “typos,” meaning types is translated as ensamples in his classic presentation of this truth.

Paulus dengan sangat jelas menyatakan bahwa seluruh sejarah Israel purba yang tercatat telah dituliskan bagi mereka yang hidup pada hari-hari terakhir, dan bahwa semua riwayat itu adalah lambang-lambang, meskipun kata Yunani “typos,” yang berarti lambang-lambang, dalam pemaparannya yang klasik tentang kebenaran ini diterjemahkan sebagai teladan.

> Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1 Corinthians 10:11.

> Haba tsotlhe di ba diragaletse gore e nne dikao; mme di kwadilwe go re tlhagisa, rona ba bokhutlo jwa lefatshe bo fitlhetseng mo go rona. 1 Bakorintha 10:11.

The histories in chapter ten which Paul uses to set the context for this truth was not a history of ancient Israel acting righteously.

Ngwane za khaolo ya lesome tšeo Paulo a di šomišago go bea seemo sa therešo ye e be e se ngwane ya Isiraele ya bogologolo e dira ka toko.

> But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 1 Corinthians 10:5–9.

> Гэвч Бурхан тэдний олонд нь тааламжтай хандаагүй; учир нь тэд цөлд сүйрэн унасан юм. Эдгээр нь бидэнд жишээ болсон нь, тэдний шунан хүссэнчлэн бид муу зүйлсийг бүү шунан хүсэг гэсэнд оршино. Мөн тэдний зарим нь байсанчлан та нар бүү шүтээн шүтэгчид бай; бичигдсэн нь: “Ард түмэн идэж уухаар сууж, тоглохоор босов.” Мөн тэдний зарим нь садарлан үйлдсэнчлэн бид бүү садарлан үйлдье; тэгээд нэг өдөрт хорин гурван мянган хүн унасан билээ. Мөн тэдний зарим нь сорьсончлон бид Христийг бүү сорьё; тэгээд тэд могойнуудад устгагдсан юм. 1 Коринт 10:5–9.

Sacred history is a record of both the righteousness and unrighteousness of God’s people, but in either record the history is still a type for God’s people living in the last days. The history of the rebellion in Minneapolis in 1888, is a record of unrighteousness, in spite of what Adventist historians’ claim. The rebellion was so profound that Ellen White determined to leave the meeting, and only stayed because an angel told her it was her responsibility to stay and record the rebellion that was a parallel to the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram in the history of Moses. At that meeting the mighty angel of Revelation chapter eighteen descended, but the message He brought was rejected.

Riwayat suci ialah catatan tentang kebenaran dan juga ketidakbenaran umat Tuhan, namun dalam kedua-dua catatan itu, sejarah tersebut tetap merupakan suatu lambang bagi umat Tuhan yang hidup pada akhir zaman. Sejarah pemberontakan di Minneapolis pada tahun 1888 ialah suatu catatan ketidakbenaran, walaupun terdapat dakwaan sebaliknya daripada para sejarawan Adventist. Pemberontakan itu begitu mendalam sehingga Ellen White bertekad untuk meninggalkan perhimpunan itu, dan hanya tinggal kerana seorang malaikat memberitahunya bahawa menjadi tanggungjawabnya untuk tetap tinggal dan mencatat pemberontakan itu, yang merupakan suatu selari dengan pemberontakan Korah, Datan, dan Abiram dalam sejarah Musa. Pada perhimpunan itu, malaikat perkasa dari Wahyu fasal lapan belas turun, tetapi pekabaran yang dibawanya telah ditolak.

That history typified September 11, 2001, when the great buildings of New York City were brought down. That history included the first Sunday law bill that was to be introduced by Senator Blair. His efforts to enforce Sunday as a National Day of Worship failed, but it was part of a sacred history that typified the last days. Senator Blair’s bill was the warning to flee the cities. Before 1888 when Sister White spoke of the necessity of living out of the cities, she spoke in the future tense. She pointed to a time in the near future when God’s people must move to the country. After 1888, all of Sister White’s references to the necessity of country living placed her counsel in the context that the time to be in the country had already arrived. The Blair bill in 1888, was the sign of Sunday enforcement, as Luke put it, in a place where it ought not be. Sunday enforcement was not to be brought into the Congress of the United States, for it was a denial of a primary principle of the Constitution.

Historia eo e ne e tshwantsha Lwetse 11, 2001, fa meago e megolo ya Motse wa New York e ne e digiwa. Historia eo e ne e akaretsa molao wa ntlha wa Sontaga o o neng o tshwanetse go tsenngwa ke Senator Blair.

The history of 1888 was recorded in order to typify the prophetic history that began on September 11, 2001. The Blair Bill in 1888 typified the Patriot Act of 2001. It was the warning that preceded the actual enforcement of the mark of the beast. No one who is following Christ should be living in a city after September 11, 2001. It was the prophetic siege that directed God’s people to flee. And just as there are two Sunday laws that are the subject of the prophetic model of the last days, as represented by the Sunday laws of pagan and papal Rome, both Sunday laws are preceded by the warning to flee.

Mbiri ya 1888 inalembedwa kuti ikhale chifaniziro cha mbiri ya uneneri imene inayamba pa September 11, 2001. Blair Bill ya mu 1888 inali chifaniziro cha Patriot Act ya 2001. Inali chenjezo limene linatsogolera kukakamizidwa kwenikweni kwa chilembo cha chilombo. Palibe amene akutsata Khristu ayenera kukhala m’mzinda pambuyo pa September 11, 2001. Imeneyo inali kuzingidwa kwa uneneri komwe kunalangiza anthu a Mulungu kuthawa. Ndipo monga mmene pali malamulo awiri a Lamlungu amene ali mutu wa chitsanzo cha uneneri cha masiku otsiriza, monga akuimiridwa ndi malamulo a Lamlungu a Roma yachikunja ndi ya upapa, malamulo onse awiri a Lamlungu amatsogoleredwa ndi chenjezo lakuti athawe.

For those who profess to be Seventh-day Adventists, they were to prophetically recognize the Patriot Act as a sign to flee the cities for the country in advance of the soon-coming Sunday law. That very same Sunday law was the sign for God’s other flock who are still in Babylon to flee out of Babylon in advance of the Sunday enforcement that is to be brought upon every nation.

Bagi mereka yang mengaku sebagai Orang Masehi Advent Hari Ketujuh, mereka seharusnya secara nubuatan mengenali Patriot Act sebagai suatu tanda untuk melarikan diri dari kota-kota ke daerah pedesaan sebelum undang-undang hari Minggu yang segera datang. Undang-undang hari Minggu yang sama itu adalah tanda bagi kawanan domba Allah yang lain, yang masih berada di Babel, untuk keluar dari Babel sebelum pemberlakuan hari Minggu yang akan didatangkan ke atas setiap bangsa.

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

> “Apabila Amerika, negeri kebebasan beragama, bersatu dengan Kepausan dalam memaksa hati nurani dan memaksa manusia untuk menghormati sabat palsu itu, maka bangsa-bangsa dari setiap negeri di seluruh dunia akan dituntun untuk mengikuti teladannya.” Testimonies, jilid 6, 18.

Just as the triple application of the three Elijah’s establishes that there are two classes of God’s people in the last days, the triple application of Rome identifies that there are two distinct Sunday laws. Those who wish to claim that the United States is the robbers of thy people, and therefore the prophetic role of the United States establishes the vision suggest that the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is the abomination of desolation that Christ identified as a warning for His people to flee from the coming persecution. They fail to identify the distinction between the siege, which is the warning sign to flee, and the second siege that represents when the actual enforcement of a Sunday law begins the persecution of the last days. They fail to address the distinction established upon two witnesses that there is to be two distinct Sunday laws that fulfill prophecy in the last days. In doing so they argue the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is the warning represented as the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, and it is, but not as they define it.

Likewisemsa boikhutlo bo bo hararo jwa Ba-Elija ba bararo bo tlhoma gore go na le ditlhopha di le pedi tsa batho ba Modimo mo malatsing a bofelo, tiriso e e hararo ya Roma e supa gore go na le melao e mebedi e e farologaneng ya Tshipi. Bao ba eletsang go bolela gore United States ke “batlhasedi ba batho ba gago,” mme jalo seabe sa boporofeti sa United States se tlhoma pono, ba akantsha gore molao wa Tshipi o o tlang ka bonako mo United States ke makgapha a thubego a Keresete a a supileng e le tlhagiso gore batho ba Gagwe ba tshabe pogiso e e tlang. Ba palelwa ke go lemoga pharologanyo fa gare ga go dikaganyediwa ga motse, mo e leng sesupo sa tlhagiso sa go tshaba, le go dikaganyediwa ga bobedi, mo go emelang nako e go diragatswang ga mmatota ga molao wa Tshipi go simololang pogiso ya malatsi a bofelo. Ga ba akaretse pharologanyo e e tlhomiwang mo molomong wa basupi ba babedi, gore go tshwanetse ga nna le melao e mebedi e e farologaneng ya Tshipi e e diragatsang boporofeti mo malatsing a bofelo. Ka go dira jalo ba ngangisana gore molao wa Tshipi o o tlang ka bonako mo United States ke tlhagiso e e emetsweng ke makgapha a thubego, a go builweng ka one ke moporofeti Daniele, mme go ntse jalo, mme e seng jaaka ba go tlhalosa.

The Sunday law in the United States is the warning for God’s other flock that is still in Babylon to flee from her communion. It is therefore a warning of the coming Sunday law that is enforced upon all the nations.

Molao wa Sontaga mo United States ke tlhagiso ya letsomane le lengwe la Modimo le le sa ntseng le le mo Babilone gore le tshabe go tswa mo kopanong ya gagwe. Ke ka moo e leng tlhagiso ya molao wa Sontaga o o tlang o o tla patelediwang mo ditšhabeng tsotlhe.

Their claim is that the Sunday law in the United States is identifying the United States as the symbol which establishes the prophetic vision, but in the context of the warning to flee given by Christ, that Sunday law represents a world-wide warning to the eleventh-hour workers to flee from Babylon.

Keikungba yamna nattraga, United States-ta Sunday law asi United States-bu adomdagi drishtant asi sthapit touba chinha oirabani haibasi ni; adubu Christ-na piba chatnaba ningshingbagi sandarbhda, mahak Sunday law adu eleventh-hour workers-singna Babylon-dagi chatnabagidamak piba malem pumnamakki ningshing oina phang-i.

When Sister White addresses the warning to flee, she addresses the Sunday law issue that overtakes the whole world. That movement begins at the Sunday law in the United States. She identifies that the Sunday law in the United States is the warning of the coming persecution.

Apabila Sister White menyampaikan amaran untuk melarikan diri, beliau sedang menyinggung isu undang-undang Ahad yang melanda seluruh dunia. Gerakan itu bermula pada undang-undang Ahad di Amerika Syarikat. Beliau mengenal pasti bahawa undang-undang Ahad di Amerika Syarikat itulah amaran tentang penganiayaan yang akan datang.

> “By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.

> “As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return. The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress which prophets have described as the time of Jacob’s trouble. The cries of the faithful, persecuted ones ascend to heaven. And as the blood of Abel cried from the ground, there are voices also crying to God from martyrs’ graves, from the sepulchers of the sea, from mountain caverns, from convent vaults: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

> “Байдлаар Ромын цэргүүд ойртон ирсэн нь Иерусалимын мөхөл удахгүй болохын тэмдэг нь шавь нарт байсанчлан, энэ тэрслэлт ч мөн бидэнд Бурханы тэвчээрийн хязгаар хүрсэн, манай үндэстний гэм буруугийн хэмжээ дүүрсэн, мөн өршөөлийн тэнгэрэлч нисэн одох гэж байгаа бөгөөд дахин хэзээ ч эргэж ирэхгүйг илтгэх тэмдэг байж болно. Тэгвэл Бурханы ард түмэн эш үзүүлэгчдийн Иаковын зовлонгийн цаг хэмээн дүрсэлсэн тэр зовлон, шаналлын үзэгдлүүдэд автагдах болно. Итгэмжит, хавчигдан мөшгөгдсөн хүмүүсийн хашхираан тэнгэр өөд өгсөнө. Абелийн цус газраас хашхирсанчлан, алагдсан гэрчүүдийн булшнаас, тэнгисийн булшнуудаас, уулын агуйнуудаас, хийдийн бунхануудаас Бурханд хандан хашхирах дуу хоолойнууд мөн байдаг: ‘Эзэн минь, ариун бөгөөд үнэнч Нэгэн ээ, Та газар дэлхий дээр оршин суугчдыг хэдий болтол шүүж, бидний цусны өшөөг авахгүй байх вэ?’” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

Sister White is identifying the Sunday law in the United States, and identifies it as a “sign” that probationary time for the United States is over. But God’s people in the other nations of the world are also to be confronted with the same test. There is a period of time from the Sunday law in the United States until Michael stands up and human probation closes. When it closes, “the angel of mercy takes her flight.”

Ellen White sedang mengenal pasti undang-undang Hari Ahad di Amerika Syarikat, dan mengenal pastinya sebagai suatu “tanda” bahawa masa percubaan bagi Amerika Syarikat telah berakhir. Tetapi umat Tuhan di negara-negara lain di dunia juga akan berhadapan dengan ujian yang sama. Terdapat suatu jangka masa dari undang-undang Hari Ahad di Amerika Syarikat sehingga Mikhael bangkit berdiri dan tempoh percubaan manusia ditutup. Apabila ia ditutup, “malaikat belas kasihan terbang pergi.”
