> All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. Isaiah 18:3.

> Wote ninyi wakaao duniani, na wakaaji wote wa dunia, tazameni, atakapoinua bendera juu ya milima; na atakapopiga tarumbeta, sikieni. Isaya 18:3.

The messenger represented as Elijah proclaiming the message represented by Moses is slain in the streets by a beast that ascends from the bottomless pit. After being trampled down for a period represented by the “curse” of Moses which is the “scattering” of Leviticus twenty-six the Holy Spirit enters into their dead bodies through God’s Word. They then stand up and thereafter ascend up into heaven. A message that is represented as in heaven is the everlasting gospel of the three angels.

O mobishumeti oyo amonisami lokola Elia, azali kosakola nsango oyo emonisami na Mose, abomami na babalabala na nyama oyo ebimi longwa na libulu mozindo te. Nsima ya konyatama na nse mpo na eleko moko oyo emonisami na “elakeli mabe” ya Mose, oyo ezali “kopanzana” ya Baebele mokapo ya ntuku mibale na motoba, Molimo Mosantu akoti na nzoto na bango oyo ekufi na nzela ya Liloba ya Nzambe. Bongo batelemi, mpe nsima na yango bamataka na likoló. Nsango oyo emonisami lokola ezali na likoló ezali nsango malamu ya seko ya baanzelu misato.

> And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Revelation 14:6.

> Saya melihat seorang malaikat lain terbang di tengah-tengah langit, dengan Injil yang kekal untuk diberitakannya kepada mereka yang diam di atas bumi, dan kepada setiap bangsa, suku, bahasa, dan kaum. Wahyu 14:6.

Before Elijah and Moses ascend into heaven they first would stand upon their feet.

Alih jing Elijah rusie Musa kaik dongon naeng manaek tu banua ginjang, parjolo nasida ingkon jongjong di atas patna.

> And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:11, 12.

> Maka setelah tiga hari setengah, Roh kehidupan daripada Tuhan masuk ke dalam mereka, lalu mereka berdiri di atas kaki mereka; dan ketakutan yang besar menimpa mereka yang melihat mereka itu. Dan mereka mendengar suatu suara nyaring dari syurga berkata kepada mereka, Naiklah ke mari. Lalu mereka naik ke syurga dalam awan; dan musuh-musuh mereka melihat mereka. Wahyu 11:11, 12.

Every prophet agrees with the other prophets and they all come together in the book of Revelation. The book of Ezekiel teaches that when the Spirit enters into men they stand upon their feet.

Setiap nabi sependapat dengan nabi-nabi yang lain, dan semuanya berpadu dalam kitab Wahyu. Kitab Yehezkiel mengajarkan bahwa apabila Roh masuk ke dalam manusia, mereka berdiri di atas kaki mereka.

> And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. Ezekiel 2:1, 2.

> Lagi Ia berfirman kepadaku, “Hai anak manusia, berdirilah tegak, maka Aku akan berfirman kepadamu.” Lalu roh masuk ke dalam aku ketika Ia berfirman kepadaku, dan menegakkan aku berdiri, sehingga aku mendengar Dia yang berfirman kepadaku. Yehezkiel 2:1, 2.

Ezekiel represents God’s people in the “last days” who are dead, yet they hear God speak, and the reception of God’s Word brings the presence of the Holy Spirit and they then stand upon their feet. Those in Revelation who have been slain and left in the street to be trampled down for twelve hundred and sixty symbolic days also hear God’s Word, which conveys the Holy Spirit into their hearts and minds and they stand upon their feet. Ezekiel informs us what the Word of God is that they hear, which in turn brings the entire movement represented by Moses and Elijah that has been dead in the streets back to life, and causes them to stand.

Hezekieli anawakilisha watu wa Mungu katika “siku za mwisho” ambao wamekufa, hata hivyo wanamsikia Mungu akisema, na kupokelewa kwa Neno la Mungu kunaleta uwepo wa Roho Mtakatifu, kisha wanasimama kwa miguu yao. Wale katika Ufunuo ambao wameuawa na kuachwa barabarani wakanyagwe kwa siku elfu moja mia mbili na sitini za mfano pia wanasikia Neno la Mungu, ambalo linaingiza Roho Mtakatifu ndani ya mioyo na akili zao, nao wanasimama kwa miguu yao. Hezekieli anatufahamisha ni Neno gani la Mungu wanalolisikia, ambalo nalo hulirudisha kwenye uhai tena lile vuguvugu lote linalowakilishwa na Musa na Eliya ambalo limekuwa limekufa mitaani, na kuwafanya wasimame.

> The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord. Ezekiel 37:1–14.

> Tangan Tuhan ada atasku, lalu Dia membawa aku keluar dalam Roh Tuhan dan menempatkan aku di tengah-tengah lembah yang penuh dengan tulang-belulang. Ia menyuruh aku berjalan mengelilinginya, dan lihatlah, sungguh amat banyak tulang-belulang itu di lembah yang terbuka itu; dan sesungguhnya, semuanya sangat kering. Lalu Ia berfirman kepadaku, Anak manusia, dapatkah tulang-belulang ini hidup? Maka aku menjawab, Ya Tuhan Allah, Engkaulah yang mengetahuinya. Kemudian Ia berfirman lagi kepadaku, Bernubuatlah atas tulang-belulang ini dan katakanlah kepadanya: Hai tulang-belulang yang kering, dengarlah firman Tuhan. Beginilah firman Tuhan Allah kepada tulang-belulang ini: Lihatlah, Aku akan membuat nafas masuk ke dalam kamu, sehingga kamu akan hidup. Aku akan menaruh urat-urat pada kamu, menumbuhkan daging atas kamu, menutupi kamu dengan kulit, dan memberikan nafas ke dalam kamu, sehingga kamu akan hidup; dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah Tuhan. Maka aku bernubuat seperti yang diperintahkan kepadaku; dan ketika aku bernubuat, terdengarlah suatu bunyi, dan lihatlah, terjadilah keguncangan, lalu tulang-belulang itu saling mendekat, masing-masing kepada tulangnya. Ketika aku melihat, sesungguhnya urat-urat dan daging tumbuh pada mereka, dan kulit menutupi mereka dari atas; tetapi belum ada nafas di dalam mereka. Lalu Ia berfirman kepadaku, Bernubuatlah kepada angin, bernubuatlah, hai anak manusia, dan katakanlah kepada angin itu: Beginilah firman Tuhan Allah; Datanglah dari keempat penjuru angin, hai nafas, dan bernafaslah ke atas orang-orang yang terbunuh ini, supaya mereka hidup. Maka aku bernubuat seperti yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadaku, lalu nafas itu masuk ke dalam mereka, dan mereka hidup, kemudian berdiri tegak di atas kaki mereka, suatu tentara yang sangat besar. Kemudian Ia berfirman kepadaku, Anak manusia, tulang-belulang ini adalah seluruh kaum Israel: lihatlah, mereka berkata, Tulang-tulang kami sudah kering, pengharapan kami sudah lenyap; kami sudah terputus sama sekali. Oleh sebab itu bernubuatlah dan katakanlah kepada mereka: Beginilah firman Tuhan Allah; Lihatlah, hai umat-Ku, Aku akan membuka kubur-kuburmu dan membangkitkan kamu keluar dari kubur-kuburmu, lalu membawa kamu ke tanah Israel. Dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah Tuhan, apabila Aku telah membuka kubur-kuburmu, hai umat-Ku, dan membangkitkan kamu keluar dari kubur-kuburmu, serta memberikan Roh-Ku ke dalam kamu, sehingga kamu hidup, dan Aku akan menempatkan kamu di negerimu sendiri: maka kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Aku, Tuhan, telah mengatakannya dan melaksanakannya, demikianlah firman Tuhan. Yehezkiel 37:1–14.

Daniel and John represent God’s one hundred and forty-four thousand in the “last days” who have been symbolically killed and resurrected. John in the boiling oil, Daniel in the lion’s den. The movement that was an offspring of its Laodicean mother is symbolically slain and thereafter resurrected, thus becoming the eighth that is of the seven. It is the resurrection of the sixth church, which was Philadelphia that becomes the eighth, though it is not a church but a movement. At the end of a period where they remain unburied, that they might be trampled down by those that are celebrating their deaths, they stand upon their feet as a mighty army. They stand up because they hear a message from God’s Word. Any corpse that has been in the street for over three years has rotted away to the point that all that would remain would be bones.

Daniel dan Yohanes melambangkan seratus empat puluh empat ribu milik Allah pada “hari-hari terakhir” yang secara simbolik telah dibunuh dan dibangkitkan. Yohanes di dalam minyak yang mendidih, Daniel di dalam gua singa. Gerakan yang merupakan keturunan dari induknya, Laodikia, secara simbolik dibunuh dan sesudah itu dibangkitkan, sehingga menjadi yang kedelapan yang berasal dari ketujuh itu. Itulah kebangkitan gereja keenam, yaitu Filadelfia, yang menjadi yang kedelapan, meskipun itu bukan sebuah gereja melainkan suatu gerakan. Pada akhir suatu masa ketika mereka tetap tidak dikuburkan, supaya mereka diinjak-injak oleh mereka yang sedang merayakan kematian mereka, mereka berdiri tegak di atas kaki mereka sebagai suatu tentara yang kuat. Mereka bangkit berdiri karena mereka mendengar suatu pekabaran dari Firman Allah. Mayat mana pun yang telah terbaring di jalan selama lebih dari tiga tahun telah membusuk sedemikian rupa sehingga yang tertinggal hanyalah tulang-belulang.

> “The dry bones need to be breathed upon by the Holy Spirit of God, that they may come into action, as by a resurrection from the dead.” Bible Training School, December 1, 1903.

> “Amangcwaba omileko la adinga ukuphephethwa Moya oCwengileko kaZimu, bona akghone ukuvuka asebenze, kungathi kukuvuswa kwabafileko.” Bible Training School, Desemba 1, 1903.

We are required to participate in the work of resurrecting ourselves. We do this by reading, hearing and keeping the things which are written.

Re tshwanetse go tsaya karolo mo tirong ya go itsosa mo baswing. Re dira seno ka go bala, go utlwa, le go boloka dilo tse di kwadilweng.

> “A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of all our needs. To seek this should be our first work.” Selected Messages, book 1, 121.

> “गोठ लंनाआ ओजाय गोसोआव थांनायनि फिथाय फाननाय खामानि बेखौ बुहुमानो गासैनि मजाङै आरो गिदिर गोहोआव लागोनाय गोरोब। बेखौ नायनायनिखौ जोंनि सिगाङनि खामानि जानो हागौ।” *Selected Messages*, book 1, 121.

The prophetic “Word” that produces this resurrection from a Laodicean experience unto the experience of Philadelphia comes from a message found in the books of Daniel and Revelation.

Pidato “Sabda” kenabian yang menghasilkan kebangkitan ini daripada pengalaman Laodikia kepada pengalaman Filadelfia datang daripada suatu mesej yang terdapat dalam kitab Daniel dan Wahyu.

> “When the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood, believers will have an entirely different religious experience.” Testimonies to Ministers, 112–114.

> “Apabila kitab Daniel dan Wahyu difahami dengan lebih baik, orang-orang percaya akan mengalami suatu pengalaman keagamaan yang sama sekali berbeza.” Testimonies to Ministers, 112–114.

The experience of the legal religion of Laodicea is changed by a life-giving message. The message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the message of His creative power, which most certainly is the power of God unto salvation for everyone that believes.

Kutala kwa dingalangala ka mpangu wa mambu ma lukanu ya Laodikia kulobaluswa na nsangu wa kupa luzingu. Nsangu wa Kusonga kwa Yesu Klisto ni nsangu wa ngolo Yandi ya kuvanga, yina ya kyeleka kele ngolo ya Nzambi samu na mpulusu ya konso muntu yina ke kwikilaka.

> “What power must we have from God that icy hearts, having only a legal religion, should see the better things provided for them—Christ and His righteousness! A life-giving message was needed to give life to the dry bones.” Manuscript Releases, volume 12, 205.

> “Kuasa apakah yang harus kita terima daripada Tuhan, supaya hati yang beku, yang hanya memiliki agama secara hukum, dapat melihat perkara-perkara yang lebih baik yang telah disediakan bagi mereka—Kristus dan kebenaran-Nya! Suatu pekabaran yang memberi hidup diperlukan untuk menghidupkan tulang-tulang yang kering itu.” Manuscript Releases, jilid 12, 205.

The legal religion is a backslidden religion as represented by Adventism’s departure from the foundations in 1863 and onward.

Dil yahud dɛn wan relijɔn we dɔn bakslay, dɛn bin reprizent am na di fasin we Adventism lef in fawndeshɔn fɔm 1863 go bifo.

> “I lay down my pen and lift up my soul in prayer, that the Lord would breathe upon his backslidden people, which are as dry bones, that they may live.” General Conference Bulletin, February 4, 1893.

> “Ndzi veka pene ya mina ehansi ndzi tlhela ndzi tlakusa moya wa mina hi xikhongelo, leswaku Hosi yi pfurha ehenhla ka vanhu va yona lava tlheleleke endzhaku, lava fanaka ni marhambu lama omeke, leswaku va ta hanya.” General Conference Bulletin, February 4, 1893.

Jesus is “the faithful witness” in the Revelation.

Jesu ke “bošupi bjo bo botegago” ka go Kutollo.

> 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. Revelation 3:14.

> “Dan kepada malaikat jemaat di Laodikia tuliskanlah: Inilah firman Amin, saksi yang setia dan benar, permulaan ciptaan Allah.” Wahyu 3:14.

Sister White informs us that it is Jesus who is the “faithful witness” that presents a “straight testimony” to the Laodiceans who are dead in trespasses and sin, and that just as with the message to the valley of dead dry bones, the message causes a shaking.

Mokauleng White o re tsebiša gore ke Jesu yo e lego “hlatse e botegago” yo a išišago “bohlatse bjo bo otlologilego” go Balaoditsea bao ba hwilego ka dikarogo le sebe, le gore bjalo ka molaetša wo o ilego wa išwa moeding wa marapo a omeletšego a bahu, molaetša woo o baka tšhišinyego.

> “I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the True Witness to the Laodiceans. This will have its effect upon the heart of the receiver, and will lead him to exalt the standard and pour forth the straight truth. Some will not bear this straight testimony. They will rise up against it, and this is what will cause a shaking among God’s people.

> “Ndzi vutisile nhlamuselo ya ku tsekatseka loku ndzi a ndzi ku vonile, naswona ndzi kombisiwile leswaku a ku ta vangiwa hi vumbhoni lebyi kongomeke lebyi vitaniweke hi ndzayo ya Mbhoni ya Ntiyiso eka Vaodikiya. Leswi swi ta va ni nkucetelo enhliziyweni ya loyi a byi amukelaka, naswona swi ta n’wi yisa eku tlakuseni ka mpimo ni ku humeseni ka ntiyiso lowu kongomeke. Van’wana a va nge koti ku tiyisela vumbhoni lebyi kongomeke. Va ta pfukela byona, kutani hi swona leswi swi nga ta vanga ku tsekatseka exikarhi ka vanhu va Xikwembu.”

> “I saw that the testimony of the True Witness has not been half heeded. The solemn testimony upon which the destiny of the church hangs has been lightly esteemed, if not entirely disregarded. This testimony must work deep repentance; all who truly receive it will obey it and be purified.

> “Ani mushe ku tobea wa Nsh witness wa Byokwadi ku te tiikigwe na kimwe cya kabiri. Ubu tobea bukomeye, aho iherezo rya eklezia rimanitse, bwafashwe nk’aho nta gaciro bufite, niba butarirengagijwe burundu. Ubu tobea bugomba gukora ukwihana kwimbitse; bose babwakira by’ukuri bazabwumvira kandi bazezwa.”

> “Said the angel, ‘List ye!’ Soon I heard a voice like many musical instruments all sounding in perfect strains, sweet and harmonious. It surpassed any music I had ever heard, seeming to be full of mercy, compassion, and elevating, holy joy. It thrilled through my whole being. Said the angel, ‘Look ye!’ My attention was then turned to the company I had seen, who were mightily shaken. I was shown those whom I had before seen weeping and praying in agony of spirit. The company of guardian angels around them had been doubled, and they were clothed with an armor from their head to their feet. They moved in exact order, like a company of soldiers. Their countenances expressed the severe conflict which they had endured, the agonizing struggle they had passed through. Yet their features, marked with severe internal anguish, now shone with the light and glory of heaven. They had obtained the victory, and it called forth from them the deepest gratitude and holy, sacred joy.

> “Berkatalah malaikat itu, ‘Dengarlah kamu!’ Tidak lama kemudian aku mendengar suatu suara seperti banyak alat muzik, semuanya berbunyi dalam nada yang sempurna, merdu dan harmoni. Suara itu melampaui segala muzik yang pernah kudengar, seolah-olah penuh dengan belas kasihan, kasih sayang, dan sukacita kudus yang mengangkat jiwa. Suara itu menggetarkan seluruh diriku. Berkatalah malaikat itu, ‘Lihatlah kamu!’ Perhatianku kemudian diarahkan kepada rombongan yang telah kulihat itu, yang digoncangkan dengan dahsyat. Aku diperlihatkan mereka yang sebelumnya telah kulihat menangis dan berdoa dalam penderitaan roh. Rombongan malaikat penjaga di sekeliling mereka telah menjadi dua kali ganda, dan mereka diperlengkapi dengan perlengkapan senjata dari kepala sampai kaki. Mereka bergerak dalam susunan yang tepat, seperti sepasukan tentera. Wajah mereka mencerminkan peperangan sengit yang telah mereka tanggung, pergumulan yang memilukan yang telah mereka lalui. Namun demikian, raut muka mereka, yang ditandai oleh penderitaan batin yang berat, kini bercahaya dengan terang dan kemuliaan syurga. Mereka telah memperoleh kemenangan itu, dan hal itu membangkitkan dalam diri mereka rasa syukur yang terdalam serta sukacita yang kudus dan suci.

> “The numbers of this company had lessened. Some had been shaken out and left by the way. The careless and indifferent, who did not join with those who prized victory and salvation enough to perseveringly plead and agonize for it, did not obtain it, and they were left behind in darkness, and their places were immediately filled by others taking hold of the truth and coming into the ranks. Evil angels still pressed around them, but could have no power over them.

> “Bilangan rombongan ini telah berkurang. Beberapa orang telah digoncangkan keluar dan tertinggal di sepanjang jalan. Mereka yang lalai dan acuh tak acuh, yang tidak bergabung dengan orang-orang yang cukup menghargai kemenangan dan keselamatan sehingga dengan tekun memohon dan bergumul untuk memperolehnya, tidak mendapatkannya, dan mereka ditinggalkan dalam kegelapan, dan tempat mereka segera diisi oleh orang-orang lain yang berpegang pada kebenaran dan masuk ke dalam barisan. Malaikat-malaikat jahat masih terus mendesak mengelilingi mereka, tetapi tidak mempunyai kuasa atas mereka.”

> “I heard those clothed with the armor speak forth the truth with great power. It had effect. Many had been bound; some wives by their husbands, and some children by their parents. The honest who had been prevented from hearing the truth now eagerly laid hold upon it. All fear of their relatives was gone, and the truth alone was exalted to them. They had been hungering and thirsting for truth; it was dearer and more precious than life. I asked what had made this great change. An angel answered, ‘It is the latter rain, the refreshing from the presence of the Lord, the loud cry of the third angel.’” Early Writings, 270, 271.

> “আমি তাঁদের শুনলাম, যারা বর্মে সজ্জিত ছিল, তারা মহাশক্তির সঙ্গে সত্য উচ্চারণ করছিল। এর প্রভাব হয়েছিল। অনেকে আবদ্ধ ছিল; কেউ কেউ স্ত্রীলোক তাদের স্বামীদের দ্বারা, আর কেউ কেউ সন্তান তাদের পিতামাতার দ্বারা। যারা সৎ ছিল এবং সত্য শোনা থেকে বিরত রাখা হয়েছিল, তারা এখন আগ্রহভরে তা গ্রহণ করল। তাদের আত্মীয়স্বজনের প্রতি সমস্ত ভয় দূর হয়ে গিয়েছিল, এবং তাদের কাছে কেবল সত্যই উন্নীত হয়েছিল। তারা সত্যের জন্য ক্ষুধার্ত ও তৃষ্ণার্ত ছিল; তা জীবনের চেয়েও অধিক প্রিয় ও মূল্যবান ছিল। আমি জিজ্ঞাসা করলাম, এই মহান পরিবর্তন কীসের দ্বারা ঘটেছে। একজন স্বর্গদূত উত্তর দিলেন, ‘এটি হলো অন্তিম বর্ষণ, প্রভুর সন্নিধান থেকে আসা সতেজতা, তৃতীয় স্বর্গদূতের উচ্চধ্বনি।’” Early Writings, 270, 271.

The straight testimony to Laodicea that raises up an army after a severe shaking is the message to the valley of dead dry bones, and those bones represent the message of Moses and the messenger Elijah that were slain in the street on July 18, 2020 by a beast from the bottomless pit.

Bopaki bo bo tlhamaletseng go Laodisia jo bo tsosang mophato morago ga thoromo e e maatla ke molaetsa go mokgatšheng wa marapo a a omeletseng a a suleng, mme marapo ao a emela molaetsa wa ga Moshe le morongwa Elia ba ba neng ba bolawa mo mmileng ka Ferikgong 18, 2020 ke sebatana se se tswang mo kgatamping e e se nang botlase.

> “A straight testimony must be borne to our churches and institutions, to arouse the sleeping ones.’

> “Kesaksian yang tegas harus disampaikan kepada gereja-gereja dan institusi-institusi kita, untuk membangunkan mereka yang tertidur.”

> “When the word of the Lord is believed and obeyed, steady advancement will be made. Let us now see our great need. The Lord cannot use us until he breathes life into the dry bones. I heard the words spoken: ‘Without the deep moving of the Spirit of God upon the heart, without its life-giving influence, truth becomes a dead letter.’” Review and Herald, November 18, 1902.

> “Apabila firman Tuhan dipercayai dan ditaati, kemajuan yang teguh akan tercapai. Sekarang marilah kita melihat betapa besar kebutuhan kita. Tuhan tidak dapat memakai kita sampai Ia menghembuskan kehidupan ke dalam tulang-tulang yang kering itu. Aku mendengar perkataan yang diucapkan: ‘Tanpa gerakan Roh Allah yang mendalam atas hati, tanpa pengaruh-Nya yang memberi hidup, kebenaran menjadi huruf yang mati.’” Review and Herald, 18 November 1902.

We have shown that the four waymarks that represent the history of the seven thunders are represented in every reform line. In connection with that is the fact that in each reform line each of the four waymarks represent the same prophetic theme. With Moses the theme at each of the four waymarks typifying the seven thunders was the covenant with a chosen people. With David it was the ark of God. With Christ it was death and resurrection. With the Millerites it was the day for a year principle.

अमी प्रदर्शॉन खेथाय जे सासेङथार गर्जननि इतिहासखौ फोरमायनाय बे फोरखा सिनायनि माइलस्टोनखौ गासै सुधार-रेखायाव फोरमायो। बेनि लोगोसे, गासै सुधार-रेखायाव बे फोरखा माइलस्टोन प्रत्येके एखे भवিষ्यद्बाणी-संबन्धी थिमखौ फोरमायो होनायनि तथ्यआ दङ। मोसेसनि बाबदाव, सासेङथार गर्जनखौ टाइपिफाइ खालामनाय बे फोरखा माइलस्टोननिफ्राय प्रत्येकिनि थिमआ आंव-खासि गोजौ फोरमानसिफोरजों खोनासिनि नियम (covenant) आसिल। डेविडनि बाबदाव, बेआ आसिल इस्वरनि संदुक। ख्रिष्टनि बाबदाव, बेआ आसिल मावथाइ आरो फिनजागोन। मिलराइटफोरनि बाबदाव, बेआ आसिल ‘मोनसेनि लागिम मोनसे बर’ सिद्धान्त।

With Future for America, it is Islam. Islam on September 11, 2001. It was again Islam on July 18, 2020 with the failed prediction, the first disappointment and the beginning of a tarrying time. The third waymark that produces a mighty army that stands up is the message of the four winds, which represents Islam, the “angry horse” of Bible prophecy.

Dengan Future for America, ia adalah Islam. Islam pada 11 September 2001. Ia sekali lagi adalah Islam pada 18 Julai 2020 dengan nubuatan yang gagal, kekecewaan yang pertama, dan permulaan suatu masa penangguhan. Tanda jalan yang ketiga yang menghasilkan suatu bala tentera yang perkasa yang bangkit berdiri ialah pekabaran tentang empat angin, yang melambangkan Islam, “kuda yang murka” dalam nubuatan Alkitab.

> “Angels are holding the four winds, represented as an angry horse seeking to break loose and rush over the face of the whole earth, bearing destruction and death in its path.

> “Malaikat sedang menahan keempat-empat angin itu, yang digambarkan sebagai seekor kuda garang yang berusaha melepaskan diri lalu menyerbu ke seluruh permukaan bumi, sambil membawa kebinasaan dan maut di sepanjang jalannya.

> “Shall we sleep on the very verge of the eternal world? Shall we be dull and cold and dead? Oh, that we might have in our churches the Spirit and breath of God breathed into His people, that they might stand upon their feet and live. We need to see that the way is narrow, and the gate strait. But as we pass through the strait gate, its wideness is without limit.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 216, 217.

> “Apakah kita akan terus tidur di ambang dunia yang kekal itu? Apakah kita akan menjadi tumpul, dingin, dan mati? Oh, kiranya di dalam gereja-gereja kita ada Roh dan nafas Allah yang dihembuskan ke dalam umat-Nya, supaya mereka dapat berdiri tegak dan hidup. Kita perlu melihat bahwa jalan itu sempit, dan pintu gerbang itu sesak. Tetapi ketika kita melewati pintu gerbang yang sesak itu, keluasan-Nya tidak terbatas.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 216, 217.

Immediately after Elijah and Moses stand up, they are lifted up to heaven as an ensign.

Sejurus selepas Elia dan Musa bangkit berdiri, mereka diangkat ke syurga sebagai suatu panji.

> And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:12.

> Бо тэд тэнгэрээс өөрсдөд нь хандан: «Нааш, дээш гар» хэмээн хэлэх агуу дуу хоолойг сонсов. Тэгээд тэд үүлэн дотор тэнгэр өөд өгсөн гарч, дайснууд нь тэднийг харж байлаа. Илчлэл 11:12.

We will address the ensign represented by Moses and Elijah in the next article.
