The “truth which Peter had confessed is the foundation of the believer’s faith. It is that which Christ Himself has declared to be eternal life.” That “truth” identified two aspects of Christ. The first was that Christ is an element of prophetic history. The waymarks that represent the events of prophetic history, represent Christ. His association with the events identifies the sacredness of the prophetic waymarks, and provides the logic for Sister White so often saying that we must guard the waymarks, for those waymarks represent Jesus Christ. The waymark that represented the testing theme in the time of Christ was His baptism, and it aligned with other events in the sacred reform lines, distinguished by the descent of a Divine symbol.

In the reform line of Moses, Divinity descended and abode in a burning bush, a symbol of the creator combining with the creation. In the reform line at the end of the seventy years, Michael descended to empower Cyrus to move forward with the first decree, and at the same time Daniel was changed into the image of Christ. In the reform line of Christ, the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove to anoint God’s Son, the symbol of Divinity combined with humanity. In Millerite history the angel that descended on August 11, 1840 was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ,” who descended with a little book that was to be eaten, and He was that little book. There He demonstrated that the combination of Divinity with humanity is accomplished by eating and drinking the flesh and blood of the Bread of Heaven.

रेफर्म लाइन of Moses में, ईश्वरत्व उतरकर एक जलती हुई झाड़ी में ठहरा, जो सृष्टिकर्ता के सृष्टि के साथ संयुक्त होने का एक प्रतीक था। सत्तर वर्षों के अंत की रेफर्म लाइन में, Michael उतरकर Cyrus को प्रथम decree के साथ आगे बढ़ने की सामर्थ्य देने आया, और उसी समय Daniel मसीह की प्रतिमा में परिवर्तित किया गया। Christ की रेफर्म लाइन में, पवित्र आत्मा कबूतर के रूप में उतरकर परमेश्वर के पुत्र का अभिषेक करने आया, जो ईश्वरत्व के मानवता के साथ संयुक्त होने का प्रतीक है। Millerite history में, वह स्वर्गदूत जो August 11, 1840 को उतरा, “Jesus Christ से कम कोई व्यक्तित्व नहीं था,” जो एक छोटी पुस्तक के साथ उतरा जिसे खाया जाना था, और वही वह छोटी पुस्तक था। वहाँ उसने यह प्रदर्शित किया कि ईश्वरत्व का मानवता के साथ संयोग स्वर्ग की रोटी के मांस और लहू को खाने और पीने के द्वारा सिद्ध होता है।

Sacred history is sacred because it is embodied by the presence of Christ. The predictions of God’s Word that identify future events, are Jesus Christ, for He is the “Word.” When those predictions are fulfilled in history, the events represent the fulfillment of His word, and His Word is Truth. It is His Word that sets forth the prediction, and it is His Word that is fulfilled when the event arrives, so at the beginning and at the ending it is Jesus Christ, for He is the Alpha and Omega. Therefore, when Peter proclaimed that Jesus was the Christ and the Son of the living God, he was identifying a waymark that was Jesus Christ and a waymark that reaches its perfect fulfillment in the last days. September 11, 2001 was the perfect fulfillment of Christ.

Historia suci ialah suci kerana ia dijelmakan oleh hadirat Kristus. Nubuatan-nubuatan Firman Allah yang mengenal pasti peristiwa-peristiwa masa depan ialah Yesus Kristus, kerana Dialah “Firman” itu. Apabila nubuatan-nubuatan itu digenapi dalam sejarah, peristiwa-peristiwa itu melambangkan penggenapan firman-Nya, dan Firman-Nya ialah Kebenaran. Firman-Nyalah yang mengemukakan nubuatan itu, dan Firman-Nyalah yang digenapi apabila peristiwa itu tiba; maka pada permulaan dan pada pengakhiran ialah Yesus Kristus, kerana Dialah Alfa dan Omega. Oleh itu, apabila Petrus memaklumkan bahawa Yesus ialah Kristus dan Anak Allah yang hidup, dia sedang mengenal pasti suatu penanda jalan yang ialah Yesus Kristus dan suatu penanda jalan yang mencapai penggenapan sempurnanya pada akhir zaman. 11 September 2001 ialah penggenapan Kristus yang sempurna.

To reject the prophetic fulfillment of September 11, 2001, is to reject Christ, the Son of the living God. That truth, expressed by Peter, was “the foundation of the believer’s faith,” and on September 11, 2001 Christ led His last-day people back to Jeremiah’s “old paths,” which represent the “foundations” of the movement of the first and third angels’ messages. Peter represented the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are sealed during the period when the four angels are restraining the four winds. The sealing time is a specific prophetic period, beginning on September 11, 2001 and ending at the soon coming Sunday law. Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing.

Go gana boela phethagatšo ya boporofeta ya la 11 September, 2001, ke go gana Kriste, Morwa wa Modimo yo a phelago. Therešo yeo, yeo e boletšwego ke Petro, e be e le “motheo wa tumelo ya modumedi,” gomme ka la 11 September, 2001 Kriste o ile a eteletša batho ba Gagwe ba mehla ya bofelo gore ba boele “ditseleng tša kgale” tša Jeremia, tšeo di emelago “metheo” ya mokgatlo wa melaetša ya morongwa wa pele le wa boraro. Petro o be a emela ba dikete tše lekgolo le masomenne-nne, bao ba swailwego nakong yeo barongwa ba bane ba sa thibelago diphefo tše nne. Nako ya go swaya ke lebaka le le kgethegilego la boporofeta, le thomago ka la 11 September, 2001 gomme le felelago molaong wa Lamorena wo o tlago kgauswi. Ka mehla Jesu o laetša bofelo bja selo ka mathomo a selo.

At the beginning of the sealing time the angel of Revelation eighteen descended, as had the Holy Spirit at the baptism, and that angel was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ,” for the angel that descended to lighten the earth with His glory in the Millerite history was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” At the soon coming Sunday law “no less a personage than Jesus Christ,” descends again and presents the second of the two messages of Revelation eighteen, as He calls His other flock out of Babylon. In the middle of the period of the sealing time, an angel descended, as the second angel descended on April 19, 1844, at the first disappointment of the Millerite movement.

Pa mwanzo wa wakati wa kutiwa muhuri, malaika wa Ufunuo kumi na nane alishuka, kama vile Roho Mtakatifu alivyoshuka wakati wa ubatizo, na malaika huyo alikuwa “si mtu mwingine ila Yesu Kristo,” kwa maana malaika aliyeshuka kuutia nuru ulimwengu kwa utukufu Wake katika historia ya Wamilerite alikuwa “si mtu mwingine ila Yesu Kristo.” Katika sheria ya Jumapili iliyo karibu kuja, “si mtu mwingine ila Yesu Kristo,” hushuka tena na kuwasilisha ujumbe wa pili kati ya jumbe mbili za Ufunuo kumi na nane, anapoliita kundi Lake lingine litoke Babeli. Katikati ya kipindi cha wakati wa kutiwa muhuri, malaika alishuka, kama vile malaika wa pili alivyoshuka mnamo Aprili 19, 1844, katika kukatishwa tamaa kwa kwanza kwa vuguvugu la Wamilerite.

Between the arrival of that second angel, and the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844, many angels were sent to add power to the second angel as the Midnight Cry message arrived. Speaking of the history when these angels arrived in Millerite history, Sister White informs us that those that rejected these messages had crucified Christ just as assuredly as the Jews crucified Christ.

Di antara kedatangan malaikat kedua itu dan kedatangan malaikat ketiga pada 22 Oktober 1844, banyak malaikat diutus untuk menambahkan kuasa kepada malaikat kedua itu ketika pekabaran Seruan Tengah Malam tiba. Berbicara tentang sejarah ketika malaikat-malaikat ini datang dalam sejarah Millerite, Sister White memberitahukan kepada kita bahwa mereka yang menolak pekabaran-pekabaran ini telah menyalibkan Kristus sama pastinya seperti orang-orang Yahudi menyalibkan Kristus.

> “I saw that as the Jews crucified Jesus, so the nominal churches had crucified these messages, and therefore they have no knowledge of the way into the most holy, and they cannot be benefited by the intercession of Jesus there.” Early Writings, 261.

> “A te ka hmuh a, Juda-te’n Isua an khenbeh ang bawkin, kohhran hming mai-te chuan hêng thuchahte hi an khenbeh tawh a; chuvângin hmun Thianghlim Ber berah luhna kawng an hre lo va, chutah Isua’n a inrawlhna atangin pawh an hlawk thei lo.” Early Writings, 261.

The messages represented by the angels, when rejected, represent the crucifixion of Christ, for He embodies the messages and their historical fulfillment. On July 18, 2020, “no less a personage than Jesus Christ” descended, marking the first disappointment and the beginning of the tarrying time. Slain in the streets, the dead dry bones of His last-day people were to be awakened by hearing the only voice that can bring people back to life.

Melaetsa e emetsoeng ke mangeloi, ha e haneloa, e emela ho thakhisoa ha Kreste, hobane O akarelletsa melaetsa eo le phethahatso ea eona historing. Ka la 18 Phupu 2020, “ha se motho e mong ea ka tlaase ho Jesu Kreste” o ile a theoha, a tšoaea nyahamiso ea pele le qalo ea nako ea ho lieha. A bolailoe literateng, masapo a ommeng a shoeleng a batho ba Hae ba matsatsi a ho qetela a ne a lokela ho tsosoa ka ho utloa lentsoe le le leng feela le ka khutlisetsang batho bophelong.

> Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. John 5:25–29.

> “အမှန်အကန် ငါသည် သင်တို့အား ဆို၏။ သေသောသူတို့သည် ဘုရားသခင်၏သားတော်၏ အသံကို ကြားရမည့်အချိန် ရောက်လျက်ရှိ၏၊ ယခုပင်လည်း ဖြစ်လျက်ရှိ၏။ ကြားသောသူတို့သည် အသက်ရှင်ကြလိမ့်မည်။ အကြောင်းမူကား ခမည်းတော်သည် မိမိအတွင်း၌ အသက်ရှိတော်မူသကဲ့သို့၊ သားတော်၌လည်း မိမိအတွင်း၌ အသက်ရှိစေခြင်းငှာ ပေးတော်မူပြီ။ ထိုမျှမက၊ သူသည် လူသားဖြစ်သောကြောင့် တရားစီရင်ခြင်းကို ဆောင်ရွက်ရန် အာဏာကိုလည်း သူ့အား ပေးတော်မူပြီ။ ဤအမှုကြောင့် အံ့ဩခြင်းမရှိကြနှင့်။ အကြောင်းမူကား သင်္ချိုင်းများအတွင်းရှိသော သူအပေါင်းတို့သည် သူ၏အသံကို ကြား၍ ထွက်လာကြရမည့်အချိန် ရောက်လာ၏။ ကောင်းသောအမှုကို ပြုခဲ့သောသူတို့သည် အသက်ရှင်ခြင်းနှင့်ဆိုင်သော ထမြောက်ခြင်းသို့၎င်း၊ မကောင်းသောအမှုကို ပြုခဲ့သောသူတို့သည် အပြစ်ဒဏ်စီရင်ခြင်းနှင့်ဆိုင်သော ထမြောက်ခြင်းသို့၎င်း ရောက်ကြလိမ့်မည်။ ယောဟန် ၅:၂၅–၂၉”

In July of 2023, His voice called the dead dry bones to life, and Alpha and Omega then repeated the beginning of the sealing time, for July 2023, marks the ending period of the sealing time. His people were then again called back to Jeremiah’s old paths, to the foundations of Millerite history. The foundational message of the Millerites’ beginning and ending were the first and last messages of Millerite history, which was the “seven times” of Leviticus chapter twenty-six.

Pada bulan Julai 2023, suara-Nya memanggil tulang-tulang kering yang mati kepada kehidupan, dan Alfa dan Omega kemudian mengulangi permulaan masa pemeteraian, kerana Julai 2023 menandakan tempoh pengakhiran masa pemeteraian itu. Umat-Nya kemudian sekali lagi dipanggil kembali kepada jalan-jalan lama Yeremia, kepada asas-asas sejarah Millerit. Pekabaran asas pada permulaan dan pengakhiran kaum Millerit ialah pekabaran pertama dan terakhir dalam sejarah Millerit, iaitu “tujuh masa” dalam Imamat fasal dua puluh enam.

In July 2023, God’s last day people were once again commanded to take the little book and eat it. As they eat the little book, they are then tested to see if they will acknowledge the message of the third Woe in Revelation chapter nine (the tidings of the east) and the message of Daniel chapter eleven (the tidings of the north). The testing process leads them to verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel chapter eleven, which is the Battle of Panium, which is Caesarea Philippi and which is the message of the Midnight Cry where the two classes who have heard His voice are manifested, one class “that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

Pada bulan Juli 2023, umat Allah pada akhir zaman sekali lagi diperintahkan untuk mengambil kitab kecil itu dan memakannya. Ketika mereka memakan kitab kecil itu, mereka kemudian diuji untuk melihat apakah mereka akan mengakui pekabaran dari Sangkakala Celaka yang ketiga dalam Wahyu pasal sembilan (kabar dari timur) dan pekabaran dari Daniel pasal sebelas (kabar dari utara). Proses pengujian itu membawa mereka kepada ayat tiga belas sampai lima belas dari Daniel pasal sebelas, yaitu Pertempuran Panium, yaitu Kaisarea Filipi, dan yaitu pekabaran Seruan Tengah Malam, di mana dua golongan yang telah mendengar suara-Nya dinyatakan, satu golongan “yang telah berbuat baik akan bangkit untuk hidup yang kekal; tetapi mereka yang telah berbuat jahat akan bangkit untuk dihukum.”

There are three voices in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand and they are all the voice of “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” The first voice of Revelation eighteen sounded when the great buildings of New York city were brought down by a touch from God. The second voice is the voice of Michael the archangel who calls the dead out of their graves. The third voice is the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen that calls His other flock out of Babylon in the hour of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven. The perfect fulfillment of Peter’s confession at Caesarea Philippi is made when Christ leads His last day people to “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.”

Ada tiga suara pada masa pemeteraian seratus empat puluh empat ribu itu, dan semuanya adalah suara “tiada kurang daripada peribadi Yesus Kristus sendiri.” Suara pertama dalam Wahyu lapan belas berbunyi ketika bangunan-bangunan besar di kota New York diruntuhkan oleh satu sentuhan daripada Allah. Suara kedua ialah suara Mikhael, penghulu malaikat, yang memanggil orang mati keluar dari kubur mereka. Suara ketiga ialah suara kedua dalam pasal lapan belas kitab Wahyu yang memanggil kawanan-Nya yang lain keluar dari Babilon pada saat “gempa bumi yang besar” dalam pasal sebelas kitab Wahyu. Penggenapan sempurna pengakuan Petrus di Kaisarea Filipi terjadi apabila Kristus memimpin umat-Nya pada akhir zaman kepada “bahagian nubuat Daniel yang berkenaan dengan akhir zaman.”

Panium of verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven, is the “portion” of the prophecy of Daniel that was sealed up that identifies the message of the Midnight Cry. Panium is the Exeter camp meeting in August of 1844, it’s a history that is fulfilled in the second term of Donald Trump, and it is the prophetic message that impresses the seal of God upon the foreheads of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The verses we are now studying are very holy ground.

Pandium dalam ayat tiga belas hingga lima belas Daniel sebelas ialah “bahagian” nubuat Daniel yang telah dimeteraikan, yang mengenal pasti pekabaran Seruan Tengah Malam. Pandium ialah perhimpunan khemah Exeter pada bulan Ogos 1844; itulah suatu sejarah yang digenapi pada penggal kedua Donald Trump, dan itulah pekabaran nubuatan yang menekankan meterai Allah pada dahi seratus empat puluh empat ribu orang. Ayat-ayat yang sedang kita pelajari sekarang ini merupakan tanah yang sangat kudus.

> “The truth which Peter had confessed is the foundation of the believer’s faith. It is that which Christ Himself has declared to be eternal life. But the possession of this knowledge was no ground for self-glorification. Through no wisdom or goodness of his own had it been revealed to Peter. Never can humanity, of itself, attain to a knowledge of the divine. ‘It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?’ Job 11:8. Only the spirit of adoption can reveal to us the deep things of God, which ‘eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man.’ ‘God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.’ 1 Corinthians 2:9, 10. ‘The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him;’ and the fact that Peter discerned the glory of Christ was an evidence that he had been ‘taught of God.’ Psalm 25:14; John 6:45. Ah, indeed, ‘blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee.’

> “Jesus continued: ‘I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’ The word Peter signifies a stone,—a rolling stone. Peter was not the rock upon which the church was founded. The gates of hell did prevail against him when he denied his Lord with cursing and swearing. The church was built upon One against whom the gates of hell could not prevail.” The Desire of Ages, 413

> Yesus melanjutkan: “Aku pun berkata kepadamu: Engkau adalah Petrus, dan di atas batu karang ini Aku akan mendirikan jemaat-Ku, dan pintu-pintu gerbang maut tidak akan menguasainya.” Kata Petrus berarti sebuah batu,—batu yang berguling. Petrus bukanlah batu karang yang di atasnya jemaat didirikan. Pintu-pintu gerbang maut memang berkuasa atas dirinya ketika ia menyangkal Tuhannya dengan kutuk dan sumpah. Jemaat itu dibangun di atas Dia, yang terhadap-Nya pintu-pintu gerbang maut tidak dapat berkuasa.” The Desire of Ages, 413

The message Christ was presenting to His disciples at Caesarea Philippi was and is the message of the Midnight Cry, and it is placed within the context of a spiritual war between the Greek god Pan, whose temple was called “the gates of hell,” and the two apostate horns of the earth beast. The Maccabees were God’s apostate people, who professed to be the defenders of God’s church, as they were warring against the religion of the Greeks. They identified themselves as both the religious and political leaders. They represent the apostate Protestantism of those fallen churches that, with the government of the United States, are now forming an image of the beast and are warring against the globalist’s religion of woke-ism and Mother Earth. The apostate horns prevail in their struggle with the religious and political elements of globalism, and at the same time the true Protestant horn is being purified by the removal of the last remnants of the foolish virgins, in advance of being lifted up as an ensign at the “great earthquake” of the soon coming Sunday law.

Ujumbe ambao Kristo alikuwa akiuwasilisha kwa wanafunzi Wake huko Kaisaria Filipi ulikuwa na bado ni ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane, nao umewekwa ndani ya muktadha wa vita vya kiroho kati ya mungu wa Kigiriki Pan, ambaye hekalu lake liliitwa “malango ya kuzimu,” na pembe mbili zilizoasi za mnyama wa nchi. Wamakabayo walikuwa watu wa Mungu waliokuwa waasi, waliodai kuwa watetezi wa kanisa la Mungu, huku wakipigana dhidi ya dini ya Wagiriki. Walijitambulisha kuwa viongozi wa kidini na wa kisiasa kwa pamoja. Wanawakilisha Uprotestanti ulioasi wa yale makanisa yaliyoanguka ambayo, pamoja na serikali ya Marekani, sasa yanafanya mfano wa mnyama na yanapigana dhidi ya dini ya utandawazi ya woke-ism na Mama Dunia. Pembe hizo zilizoasi zinashinda katika pambano lao dhidi ya vipengele vya kidini na vya kisiasa vya utandawazi, na wakati uo huo pembe ya kweli ya Kiprotestanti inatakaswa kwa kuondolewa kwa mabaki ya mwisho ya wanawali wapumbavu, kabla ya kuinuliwa kama bendera katika “tetemeko kuu la nchi” la sheria ya Jumapili inayokaribia upesi.

The portion of the prophecy of the book of Daniel that relates to the last days, which is also the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and is the message of the Midnight Cry, is unsealed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah at Caesarea Philippi, which is Panium. It is unsealed in the midst of the warfare between atheistic beast from the bottomless pit and the horn of Republicanism that began to stir up that beast in 2015, and against the genuine horn of Protestantism that is now being resurrected as a mighty army.

Sebahagi daripada nubuat dalam kitab Daniel yang berkaitan dengan akhir zaman, yang juga merupakan Wahyu Yesus Kristus, dan merupakan pekabaran Seruan Tengah Malam, dibukakan meterainya oleh Singa dari suku Yehuda di Kaisarea Filipi, iaitu Panium. Meterai itu dibukakan di tengah-tengah peperangan antara binatang ateis dari jurang maut dan tanduk Republikanisme yang mula menggerakkan binatang itu pada tahun 2015, serta menentang tanduk Protestanisme yang sejati yang kini sedang dibangkitkan semula sebagai suatu bala tentera yang gagah perkasa.

The truth that Peter confessed represents the waymark of September 11, 2001, and also that Christ is the Son of the living God. The truth of what is represented by Jesus being the Son of God, is a testing truth as certainly as was whether Jesus was the Messiah or not in the days of Peter. The proclamation that Jesus is the Son of God represents everything that had been revealed of who the Son is. It represents not only that He was God’s Son, but that He was also the son of man. It is the truth of the incarnation of divinity into humanity, which is the very work that is accomplished during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The truth of the “incarnation,” is the truth at the end that was typified by the truth of the “Sabbath” at the beginning.

Indlela uPetru avuma ngayo imele isibonakaliso sendlela sangoSepthemba 11, 2001, futhi futhi imele ukuthi uKristu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo. Iqiniso lalokho elimelelwa wukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu liyiqiniso lokuvivinya ngokuqiniseka okunjengalokho okwakuyikho ezinsukwini zikaPetru mayelana nokuthi uJesu wayenguMesiya noma cha. Isimemezelo sokuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu simele konke okwakwambulwe mayelana nokuthi iNdodana ingubani. Asimele kuphela ukuthi WayeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, kodwa futhi nokuthi Wayeyindodana yomuntu. Leli yiqiniso lokwenziwa samuntu kobuNkulunkulu ebuntwini, okuyiwona kanye umsebenzi ofezwayo ngesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu kwabeyikhulu namashumi amane nane ezinkulungwane. Iqiniso “lokwenziwa samuntu,” liyiqiniso ekupheleni elalifanekiswa yiqiniso le-“Sabatha” ekuqaleni.

October 22, 1844 marked the arrival of the third angel. When an angel arrives, a special truth adapted to the period where the truth is unsealed is opened by the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and that truth then tests the generation where that truth is opened up. On October 22, 1844 the truths associated with the work of Christ, who suddenly came unto the temple He had raised in the forty-six years from 1798 unto 1844, were revealed. Christ’s work of judgment, the law of God, His role as High Priest, the issue of the mark of the beast and the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand were all opened up. Sister White was shown that of those truths, there was one truth which the Alpha and Omega identified in a special light.

> “I was amazed as I saw the fourth commandment in the very center of the ten precepts, with a soft halo of light encircling it. Said the angel: ‘It is the only one of the ten which defines the living God who created the heavens and the earth and all things that are therein. When the foundations of the earth were laid, then was laid the foundation of the Sabbath also.’” Testimonies, volume 1, 75.

> “Saya sangat takjub ketika saya melihat perintah yang keempat tepat di tengah-tengah kesepuluh hukum itu, dengan suatu lingkaran cahaya lembut yang mengelilinginya. Kata malaikat itu: ‘Itulah satu-satunya dari antara kesepuluh hukum yang menyatakan Allah yang hidup, yang menciptakan langit dan bumi serta segala sesuatu yang ada di dalamnya. Ketika dasar-dasar bumi diletakkan, pada waktu itu jugalah dasar hari Sabat diletakkan.’” Testimonies, jilid 1, 75.

The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand had arrived, but it was to be delayed by the rebellion of 1863. On September 11, 2001 the sealing process began when Christ, represented as the mighty angel of Revelation chapter eighteen, descended with a hidden book in His hand that God’s last day people were to eat. The Alpha and Omega always illustrates the end with the beginning, so in the last days there was another truth that was placed in a special light, and it was directly connected to the Sabbath truth that was highlighted the first time Christ attempted to seal the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

> “The time has come for Daniel to stand in his lot. The time has come for the light given him to go to the world as never before. If those for whom the Lord has done so much will walk in the light, their knowledge of Christ and the prophecies relating to Him will be greatly increased as they near the close of this earth’s history.

> “Nako e fihlile hore Daniele a eme karolong ea hae. Nako e fihlile hore leseli leo a ileng a le fuoa le fihle lefats’eng ka tsela e sa kang ea e-ba teng pele.

> “Those who commune with God walk in the light of the Sun of Righteousness. They do not dishonor their Redeemer by corrupting their way before God. Heavenly light shines upon them. They are of infinite worth in God’s sight, for they are one with Christ. To them the word of God is of surpassing beauty and loveliness. They see its importance. Truth is unfolded to them. The doctrine of the incarnation is invested with a soft radiance. They see that the Scripture is the key which unlocks all mysteries and solves all difficulties. Those who have been unwilling to receive the light and walk in the light will not be able to understand the mystery of godliness, but those who have not hesitated to take up the cross and follow Jesus will see light in God’s light.” Manuscript Releases, number 21, 406, 407.

> “Orang-orang yang bersekutu dengan Tuhan berjalan di dalam terang Surya Kebenaran. Mereka tidak menghina Penebus mereka dengan merusakkan jalan mereka di hadapan Tuhan. Terang surgawi bercahaya atas mereka. Mereka bernilai tak terhingga di hadapan Tuhan, sebab mereka adalah satu dengan Kristus. Bagi mereka firman Tuhan memiliki keindahan dan keelokan yang melampaui segala sesuatu. Mereka melihat pentingnya firman itu. Kebenaran disingkapkan kepada mereka. Doktrin inkarnasi diliputi oleh cahaya lembut yang berseri. Mereka melihat bahwa Kitab Suci adalah kunci yang membuka segala rahasia dan menyelesaikan segala kesukaran. Mereka yang tidak mau menerima terang dan berjalan di dalam terang tidak akan dapat memahami rahasia kesalehan, tetapi mereka yang tidak ragu-ragu memikul salib dan mengikut Yesus akan melihat terang di dalam terang Tuhan.” Manuscript Releases, nomor 21, 406, 407.

The doctrine of the incarnation is the truth that Divinity combined with humanity does not sin, and the sign of those who have reached that experience in the last days is the Sabbath.

သွင်ပြင်ခံယူခြင်းဆိုင်ရာ အယူဝါဒသည် ဘုရားသဘာဝနှင့် လူ့သဘာဝ ပေါင်းစည်းသောအခါ အပြစ်မပြုကြောင်းသော သမ္မာတရားဖြစ်ပြီး၊ နောက်ဆုံးသောနေ့ရက်များတွင် ထိုအတွေ့အကြုံသို့ ရောက်ရှိလာကြသူတို့၏ အမှတ်အသားမှာ ဥပုသ်နေ့ဖြစ်သည်။

> Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. Ezekiel 20:12.

> Begitu juga Aku telah memberikan kepada mereka hari-hari Sabat-Ku, untuk menjadi suatu tanda antara Aku dan mereka, supaya mereka mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN yang menguduskan mereka. Yehezkiel 20:12.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed for eternity, and the process of the sealing identifies a short period of time at the end of the sealing process, just before the Sunday law, when the seal is impressed. In that short period of time Divinity is combined with humanity, permanently.

Yang seratus empat puluh empat ribu itu dimeteraikan untuk kekekalan, dan proses pemeteraian itu menandai suatu jangka waktu yang singkat pada akhir proses pemeteraian, tepat sebelum undang-undang hari Minggu, ketika meterai itu dibubuhkan. Dalam jangka waktu yang singkat itu, Keilahian dipersatukan dengan kemanusiaan, untuk selama-lamanya.

> “What are you doing, brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing for the seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity.

> “Bả nyi u tshimbila, vhahashu, kha mushumo muhulu wa u lugiselela? A vho no ṱangana na shango vha khou ṱanganedza kuvhumbele kwa shango nahone vha khou lugiselela luswayo lwa ḽivhanda.

Musi mulayo u tshi bva nahone luswayo lwo pfuṋelwa, mikhwa yavho i ḓo dzula yo kuna nahone i si na mulandu lini na lini.”

> “Now is the time to prepare. The seal of God will never be placed upon the forehead of an impure man or woman. It will never be placed upon the forehead of the ambitious, world-loving man or woman. It will never be placed upon the forehead of men or women of false tongues or deceitful hearts. All who receive the seal must be without spot before God—candidates for heaven. Go forward, my brethren and sisters. I can only write briefly upon these points at this time, merely calling your attention to the necessity of preparation. Search the Scriptures for yourselves, that you may understand the fearful solemnity of the present hour.” Testimonies, volume 5, 216.

> “हानो तयारी गर्ने समय हो। परमेश्वरको छाप कुनै अशुद्ध पुरुष वा स्त्रीको निधारमा कहिल्यै लगाइनेछैन। यो महत्त्वाकांक्षी, संसारप्रेमी पुरुष वा स्त्रीको निधारमा कहिल्यै लगाइनेछैन। यो झूटा जिब्रो वा छलपूर्ण हृदय भएका पुरुष वा स्त्रीहरूको निधारमा कहिल्यै लगाइनेछैन। छाप प्राप्त गर्ने सबैजना परमेश्वरको सामु निष्कलंक हुनुपर्छ—स्वर्गका उम्मेदवारहरू। अगाडि बढ, मेरा दाजुभाइ तथा दिदीबहिनीहरू हो। यस समयमा म यी बुँदाहरूमा संक्षेपमा मात्र लेख्न सक्छु, केवल तयारीको आवश्यकतातर्फ तिमीहरूको ध्यानाकर्षण गराउँदै। धर्मशास्त्र आफैं खोजी गर, ताकि वर्तमान घडीको भयावह गम्भीरता तिमीहरूले बुझ्न सको।” Testimonies, volume 5, 216.

The previous passage might suggest that the seal is impressed at the Sunday law, but this is not the case. Sister White is clear that the Sunday law is a great crisis, and she also teaches clearly that character is manifested in a crisis, but never developed in a crisis. The seal is impressed at the Sunday law in the sense that it then becomes visible, for those who then have the seal are lifted up as an ensign. The seal is impressed in a short period of time, just before probation closes, and for Sabbath-keepers, probation closes at the Sunday law. The sealing began on September 11, 2001, and no one then received the seal of God, for as illustrated in the period of time following October 22, 1844, there was first to be a testing process.

Bahagian sebelumnya mungkin memberi kesan bahawa meterai itu dibubuhkan pada masa undang-undang Ahad, tetapi demikianlah bukan halnya. Sister White dengan jelas menyatakan bahawa undang-undang Ahad itu ialah suatu krisis besar, dan beliau juga dengan jelas mengajarkan bahawa tabiat dinyatakan dalam suatu krisis, tetapi tidak pernah dibentuk dalam suatu krisis. Meterai itu dibubuhkan pada masa undang-undang Ahad dalam pengertian bahawa pada waktu itulah ia menjadi kelihatan, kerana mereka yang pada ketika itu memiliki meterai itu ditinggikan sebagai suatu panji. Meterai itu dibubuhkan dalam suatu jangka waktu yang singkat, tepat sebelum masa percubaan berakhir, dan bagi para pemelihara Sabat, masa percubaan berakhir pada masa undang-undang Ahad. Pemeteraian itu bermula pada 11 September 2001, dan pada waktu itu tiada seorang pun menerima meterai Allah, kerana sebagaimana digambarkan dalam jangka waktu selepas 22 Oktober 1844, terlebih dahulu harus ada suatu proses pengujian.

In every reform movement, when the divine symbol descends to empower the message that was unsealed at the time of the end, a testing process begins. When Michael descended to empower Cyrus to move forward with the first decree, the Jews were then tested as to whether they would leave the home they had lived in for the previous seventy years and return to a ruined city and rebuild it. When the Holy Spirit descended at the baptism of Christ, the Jews were tested on the subject of the Messiah. When the mighty angel of Revelation ten descended on August 11, 1840, that generation was tested on whether they would eat the little book, and all that the little book represented.

Mo motsamaong mongwe le mongwe wa phetogo, fa sesupo sa selegodimo se fologa go nonotsha molaetsa o o neng wa senolwa mo nakong ya bokhutlo, tsamaiso ya teko e a simologa. Fa Mikaele a ne a fologa go nonotsha Kurose gore a tswele pele ka taelo ya ntlha, Bajuta ba ne ba lekanngwa ka gore a ba ne ba tla tlogela legae le ba neng ba agile mo go lone mo dingwageng tse di masome a supa tse di fetileng mme ba boele kwa motseng o o senyegileng ba bo ba o aga sesha.

A testing process began on August 11, 1840 that produced two classes of worshippers, and the class that followed the Lamb into the Most Holy Place were candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The final test for that generation, who failed the testing process, began with the arrival of increased light upon the “seven times,” of Leviticus twenty-six. From 1856 unto 1863, the Laodicean message marked a final period of time in the period that began with the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844. That period of time is represented by verses thirteen through fifteen of Daniel chapter eleven.

> “‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.’ ‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth’ (John 1:1–5, 14).

> “‘Ia na le Amataga o iai le Upu, sa i le Atua le Upu, ma o le Atua lava le Upu. O ia lava sa i le Amataga faatasi ma le Atua. O mea uma na faia e ia; ma e leai se mea na faia e aunoa ma ia o mea uma ua faia. O ia sa i ai le ola; ma o le ola o le malamalama lea o tagata. Ua pupula atu foʻi le malamalama i le pogisa; a e lei iloa e le pogisa.’ ‘Ua liutino tagata le Upu, ma sa mau faatasi ma i tatou, (ma sa matou vaaia lona mamalu, o le mamalu lava e pei o le Alo e Toʻatasi na Fanaua mai e le Tamā,) ua tumu i le alofa tunoa ma le upu moni’ (Ioane 1:1–5, 14).”

> “This chapter delineates the character and importance of the work of Christ. As one who understands his subject, John ascribes all power to Christ, and speaks of His greatness and majesty. He flashes forth divine rays of precious truth, as light from the sun. He presents Christ as the only Mediator between God and humanity.

> “Бүлэг нь Христийн ажлын шинж чанар болон ач холбогдлыг тодорхойлон харуулдаг. Иохан сэдвээ мэддэг хүний хувьд бүх эрх мэдлийг Христэд хамаатуулж, Түүний агуу сүр жавхлан, сүр хүчний талаар өгүүлдэг.

> “The doctrine of the incarnation of Christ in human flesh is a mystery, ‘even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations’ (Colossians 1:26). It is the great and profound mystery of godliness. ‘The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us’ (John 1:14). Christ took upon Himself human nature, a nature inferior to His heavenly nature. Nothing so shows the wonderful condescension of God as this. He ‘so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son’ (John 3:16). John presents this wonderful subject with such simplicity that all may grasp the ideas set forth, and be enlightened.

> “Thuto ya go tšwa nameng ga Kriste nameng ya motho ke sephiri, ‘e lego sona sephiri se se fihlilwego go tloga mehleng le ditlogolong’ (Bakolose 1:26). Ke sephiri se segolo le se se tseneletšego sa borapedi. ‘Lentšu le dirilwe nama, la dula gare ga rena’ (Johane 1:14). Kriste o ile a rwala tlhago ya motho, tlhago yeo e lego ka fase ga tlhago ya Gagwe ya legodimong. Ga go selo seo se bontšhago boikokobetšo bjo bo makatšago bja Modimo go feta se.

Johane o tšweletša taba ye e makatšago ka bonolo bjo bogolo, gore bohle ba kgone go kwešiša dikgopolo tše di beilwego pele, gomme ba hwetše seetša.

> “Christ did not make believe take human nature; He did verily take it. He did in reality possess human nature. ‘As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same’ (Hebrews 2:14). He was the son of Mary; He was of the seed of David according to human descent. He is declared to be a man, even the Man Christ Jesus. ‘This man,’ writes Paul, ‘was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house’ (Hebrews 3:3).

> “Kṛistok on∙tela dake mandeni mandeko manderangko ra∙genchim; Ua beben dake mandeni ong∙ani-ko ra∙aha. Ua kakket ong∙e mandeni ong∙ani-ko man∙aha. ‘Bi∙sarang be∙en aro an∙chingni bak ong∙a maina, Ua an∙tangba uarangni apsan bak-ko ra∙aha’ (Hebrews 2:14). Ua Mari-ni depante ong∙aha; mandeni chasongo Ua David-ni jajongoni ong∙aha. Ua mande ine aganprakaha, chong∙motan, Mande Kṛisto Jisu. ‘Ia mande,’ ine Paul seaha, ‘Mose-na bate bang∙bea rasong-ko man∙na kraaha, maina nok-ko rikgipa nok-na bate dal∙bea mandera∙ani-ko man∙a’ (Hebrews 3:3).”

> “But while God’s Word speaks of the humanity of Christ when upon this earth, it also speaks decidedly regarding His pre-existence. The Word existed as a divine being, even as the eternal Son of God, in union and oneness with His Father. From everlasting He was the Mediator of the covenant, the one in whom all nations of the earth, both Jews and Gentiles, if they accepted Him, were to be blessed. ‘The Word was with God, and the Word was God’ (John 1:1). Before men or angels were created, the Word was with God, and was God.

> “Namun sementara Firman Allah berbicara tentang kemanusiaan Kristus ketika berada di bumi ini, Firman itu juga berbicara dengan tegas mengenai praeksistensi-Nya. Firman itu telah ada sebagai suatu Pribadi ilahi, yaitu sebagai Anak Allah yang kekal, dalam persekutuan dan kesatuan dengan Bapa-Nya. Sejak kekekalan Ia adalah Pengantara perjanjian, Pribadi yang di dalam-Nya semua bangsa di bumi, baik orang Yahudi maupun orang bukan Yahudi, apabila mereka menerima Dia, akan diberkati. ‘Firman itu bersama-sama dengan Allah dan Firman itu adalah Allah’ (Yohanes 1:1). Sebelum manusia ataupun malaikat diciptakan, Firman itu bersama-sama dengan Allah, dan adalah Allah.”

> “The world was made by Him, ‘and without him was not anything made that was made’ (John 1:3). If Christ made all things, He existed before all things. The words spoken in regard to this are so decisive that no one need be left in doubt. Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed forevermore.

> “The Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, existed from eternity, a distinct person, yet one with the Father. He was the surpassing glory of heaven. He was the commander of the heavenly intelligences, and the adoring homage of the angels was received by Him as His right. This was no robbery of God. ‘The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way,’ He declares, ‘before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth’ (Proverbs 8:22–27).

> Tuhan Yesus Kristus, Putra ilahi Allah, telah ada sejak kekekalan, seorang Pribadi yang berbeda, namun satu dengan Bapa. Ia adalah kemuliaan surga yang melampaui segala sesuatu. Ia adalah Panglima bala intelegensi sorgawi, dan penghormatan penyembahan para malaikat diterima oleh-Nya sebagai hak-Nya. Ini bukanlah perampasan terhadap Allah. “TUHAN telah memiliki Aku pada permulaan jalan-Nya,” demikian Ia menyatakan, “sebelum segala pekerjaan-Nya pada zaman purbakala. Aku telah ditetapkan sejak kekal, sejak semula, sebelum bumi ada. Ketika belum ada samudra raya, Aku telah diperanakkan; ketika belum ada mata air yang sarat dengan air. Sebelum gunung-gunung ditegakkan, sebelum bukit-bukit, Aku telah diperanakkan; ketika Ia belum menjadikan bumi dan padang-padang, ataupun bagian tertinggi dari debu dunia. Ketika Ia mempersiapkan langit, Aku ada di sana; ketika Ia menarik suatu lingkaran pada permukaan samudra raya” (Amsal 8:22–27).

> “There are light and glory in the truth that Christ was one with the Father before the foundation of the world was laid. This is the light shining in a dark place, making it resplendent with divine, original glory. This truth, infinitely mysterious in itself, explains other mysterious and otherwise unexplainable truths, while it is enshrined in light, unapproachable and incomprehensible.” Selected Messages, book 1, 246–248.
