We are considering the prophetic period represented as the second gathering that is identified by the prophet Isaiah, and afterward by Sister White.

Nuti yeroo raajii isa walitti qabama lammaffaa jechuun ibsame, kan raajicha Isaayaasiin adda baafame, booddees Obboleettii Whiteiin ibsame sana ilaalaa jirra.

> And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. Isaiah 11:10–13.

> Guyyaa Isaa keessaa hundeen Iseey ni ka’a; inni mallattoo sabootaaf dhaabbata; saboonni Ormaa gara isaatti ni dhufu; boqonnaan isaas ulfina qabeessa ta’a. Guyyaa sanattis Gooftaan harka isaa yeroo lammaffaaf diriirsee haftee saba isaa kan hafe, Ashuur irraa, Gibxi irraa, Phaaxroos irraa, Kuush irraa, Eelaam irraa, Shinaar irraa, Hamaat irraa, akkasumas odoola galaanaa irraa deebisee walitti ni qaba. Innis sabootaaf mallattoo ni dhaaba; warra Israa’el keessaa ari’ataman walitti ni qaba; warra Yihudaa faca’anis irraa kaasee handaara afurii lafaa irraa walitti ni sassaaba. Hinaaffaan Efreemis ni bada; diinonni Yihudaas ni ciramu; Efreem Yihudaatti hinaafaa hin ta’u; Yihudaas Efreemiin hin rakkisu. Isaayaas 11:10–13.

When God’s last-day people are gathered a second time there is a unification among those disciples that was represented by the ten days that preceded Pentecost, and that Isaiah refers to as a time when, “The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.”

Yeroo sabni Waaqayyoo bara dhumaa yeroo lammaffaaf walitti qabamanitti, barattoota sana gidduutti tokkummaan ni jiraata; tokkummaan sun guyyoota kudhan Pentekostee dursee turaniin bakka buufame, Isaayaasis yeroo, “Hinaaffaan Efreemis ni bada; diinonni Yihudaas ni kutamu; Efreem Yihudatti hin hinaafu, Yihudaanis Efreemiin hin rakkisu” jedhee ibse sana dha.

> “Trials are to come upon God’s people and the tares are to be separated from the wheat. But let not Ephraim envy Judah any more, and Judah will no more vex Ephraim. Kind, tender, compassionate words will flow out from sanctified hearts and lips. It is essential that we be united, and if we all seek the meekness and the lowliness of Christ, we shall have the mind of Christ, and there will be unity of spirit.” Review and Herald, March 19, 1895.

> “Qorumsiin Waaqayyoo irratti ni dhufu; qamadii irraa immoo margi hammeenyaa ni adda baafama. Garuu Efreem deebi’ee Yihudaa hin hinaafin; Yihudaanis Efreemiin si’achi hin rakkisu. Jechoonni gaarummaa, laafinaa fi gara-laafinaa guutaman garaa fi hidhii qulqulloofaman keessaa ni burqu. Nuyi tokko taanee jiraachuun baay’ee barbaachisaa dha; yoo hundi keenya garraamummaa fi of-gadi qabuu Kiristoos barbaadne, yaada Kiristoos ni qabaanna; achittis tokkummaan hafuuraa ni jiraata.” Review and Herald, March 19, 1895.

Unification is an element of the work Christ accomplishes when He gathers the one hundred and forty-four thousand a second time. That unity was represented by the ten days leading to Pentecost, and the six days of the Exeter camp meeting, and could have been accomplished from 1856 unto 1863, if those who had experienced the great disappointment of October 22, 1844, had not lost their way.

Tokkummaan hojii Kiristoos yeroo inni yeroo lammaffaadhaaf kuma dhibba afurtamaa afur walitti qabu keessatti raawwatutti keessaa kutaa tokko dha. Tokkummaan sun guyyaa kudhan Pentekoostee dura turaniin, akkasumas guyyaa ja’an walga’ii kaampii Exeteriin bakka buufame; warri abdii guddaa Onkoloolessa 22, 1844 keessa mudate sana darban karaa isaanii utuu hin badin jiraatanii ta’ee, bara 1856 irraa jalqabee hamma 1863 tti raawwatamuu danda’a ture.

> “But in the period of doubt and uncertainty that followed the disappointment, many of the advent believers yielded their faith. Dissensions and divisions came in. . .. Thus the work was hindered, and the world was left in darkness. Had the whole Adventist body united upon the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, how widely different would have been our history!

> “Ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲱⲕ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲃⲉⲣⲃⲱⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲛ̀ⲥⲁ ⲡⲓϣⲱϥ, ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲛ̀ⲛⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲡⲓAdvent ⲁⲩⲭⲱ ⲛ̀ⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̀ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ. Ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛ̀ϩⲁⲛϫⲱⲣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲫⲱⲣϫ....

> “It was not the will of God that the coming of Christ should be thus delayed. God did not design that His people, Israel, should wander forty years in the wilderness. He promised to lead them directly to the land of Canaan, and establish them there a holy, healthy, happy people. But those to whom it was first preached, went not in ‘because of unbelief’ (Hebrews 3:19). Their hearts were filled with murmuring, rebellion, and hatred, and He could not fulfill His covenant with them.

> “Dhufaatii Kiristoos akkasitti akka turu gocha Waaqayyoo hin turre. Waaqayyo ummanni Isaa, Israa’el, waggaa afurtama lafa onaa keessa akka jooru hin yaadne. Inni kallattiidhaan gara biyya Kana’aanitti isaan geggeessee, achittis saba qulqulluu, fayyaa qabeessa, gammadaa ta’anii akka hundeeffaman waadaa galeef. Garuu warri duraan itti lallabameef, ‘sababii amanuu diduu isaaniitiin’ hin seenne (Ibroota 3:19). Garaan isaanii guungummii, fincilaa, fi jibbaadhaan guutamee ture; kanaafuu Inni kakuu Isaa isaanii wajjin raawwachuu hin dandeenye.

> “For forty years did unbelief, murmuring, and rebellion shut out ancient Israel from the land of Canaan. The same sins have delayed the entrance of modern Israel into the heavenly Canaan. In neither case were the promises of God at fault. It is the unbelief, the worldliness, unconsecration, and strife among the Lord’s professed people that have kept us in this world of sin and sorrow so many years.” Selected Messages, book 1, 68, 69.

> “Waggaa afurtamaafif, amantii dhabuu, guungumuu, fi fincilli Israaʼel isa durii biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa dhoorkeera. Cubbuuwwanuma kanaatu seenuu Israaʼel ammayyaa gara Kanaʼaan samii keessatti argamutti turseera. Lamaan isaanii keessattiyyuu waadaan Waaqayyoo dogoggora hin qabne. Amantii dhabuu, addunyaa jaallachuu, of hin qulqulleessine, fi wal loluudhuma saba Gooftaa maqaan isaa waamamu gidduutti jiru kan waggoota hedduu nu addunyaa cubbuu fi gadda kana keessa tursiise.” Selected Messages, book 1, 68, 69.

The descent of the second angel identified a scattering at the first disappointment that initiated the tarrying time, and then led to a period of six days at the Exeter camp meeting where unity upon the message was accomplished in advance of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the message of the Midnight Cry at the conclusion of the meeting.

Bu’iinsi ergamaa lammaffaa sanaa facaasamuu abdii kutannaa jalqabaa yeroo tursiisaa jalqabe irratti mul’ise; achiis walga’ii kaampii Exeter keessatti guyyoota ja’a turanitti geesse, iddoo itti Hafuurri Qulqulluun ergaa Iyyiisa Halkan Walakkaa keessatti xumura walga’ichaa irratti dhangala’uun isaa dura, ergaa irratti tokkummaan galma ga’een raawwatame.

The descent of the third angel on October 22, 1844, identified a scattering at the great disappointment, and ushered in a period of education as the truths associated with the Most Holy Place were opened to God’s people. By 1849 the Lord was stretching His hand to gather his people together a second time, and by 1851, the 1850 chart was being presented. That chart represented the foundational message, and the very message that was to be lifted up before the world as an ensign.

ሳልሳይ መልአኽ ብጥቅምቲ 22, 1844 ምውራዱ፡ ብቲ ዓቢ ተስፋ ምቑራጽ ጊዜ ምብታን ከም ዘሎ ኣለለየ፣ እቲ ምስ ቅድስተ ቅዱሳን ዝተኣሳሰረ ሓቂታት ንህዝቢ ኣምላኽ እናተገልጸ ምስ ከደ ድማ ዘመነ ትምህርቲ ኣእተወ። ክሳዕ 1849 ግና ጐይታ ኢዱ ንህዝቡ ንኻልኣይ ጊዜ ብሓደ ንምእካብ ይዘርግሕ ነበረ፣ ክሳዕ 1851 ድማ እቲ ናይ 1850 ቻርት ይቐርብ ነበረ። እቲ ቻርት ነቲ መሰረታዊ መልእኽቲ፣ እወ፡ ነቲ ኣብ ቅድሚ ዓለም ከም ዕላማ ክልዓል ዝግባእ መልእኽቲ ይውክል ነበረ።

The gathering a second time of the disciples by Christ began immediately at His descent, and the gathering of those in Exeter began during the period of the tarrying time. In the history of the rebellion of 1863, the gathering a second time began at least five years into the educational process that began when the light of the sanctuary was opened up in 1844. In 1848, Islam was then angering the nations. The second gathering is represented as a progressive work that is accomplished by the arrival of the ten days that preceded Pentecost, and also by the six days of the Exeter camp meeting, and should have been completed by 1856.

Kiristoosiin barattoonni yeroo lammaffaaf walitti qabamuun bu’iinsa Isaa irratti battaluma sana jalqabe; warri Exeeter keessaas yeroo turtii sana keessatti walitti qabamuun isaanii jalqabe. Seenaa fincilaa bara 1863 keessatti, walitti qabamuun yeroo lammaffaaf raawwatamu adeemsa barsiisaa ifni mootummaa qulqulluu bara 1844 keessatti banameen jalqabe sana keessa waggaa shan keessaa yoo xiqqaate erga darbee booda jalqabe. Bara 1848 keessatti, Islaamni yeroo sana saboota aarsaa ture. Walitti qabamuun lammaffaan hojii suuta suuta adeemu ta’ee ibsameera; innis dhufaatii guyyoota kudhanii Pentekostee dura turaniin, akkasumas guyyoota ja’an walga’ii qubsumaa Exeeteriin raawwatamuudha; bara 1856tti immoo xumuramuu qaba ture.

The work of gathering His people a second time is the closing work of the third angel, and it is accomplished by Christ’s hand.

Hojiin isaa yeroo lammaffaa walitti qabuu hojii malkaa'a sadaffaatti xumuraati; innis harka Kiristoosiin raawwatama.

> And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Mark 6:2.

> Yommuu guyyaan Sanbataa gaʼe, mana sagadaatti barsiisuu jalqabe; warri baayʼeenis isa dhagaʼan dinqisiifatanii akkana jedhan, “Namichi kun wantoota kana eessaa argate? Ogummaan isaaf kenname kun maalidha, hojiiwwan humna qabeeyyiin akkasii harka isaatiin hojjetaman illee?” Maarqos 6:2.

The scattering that occurs when the divine symbol descends initiates a testing process that ultimately manifests two classes of worshippers, and in so doing cleanses the temple.

Yeroo mallattoon waaqayyoo gadi buʼu bittinneessuun uumamu adeemsa qorumsaa jalqaba; adeemsi kun dhuma irratti gosa lamaa warra waaqeffatanii mulʼisa, akkasumas kana gochuudhaan mana qulqullummaa ni qulqulleessa.

> Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Matthew 3:12.

> Kan harka isaatiin jiru; inni oobdii isaa guutummaatti ni qulqulleessa; qamadii isaas kuusaa keessatti walitti ni qaba; qola garuu ibidda hin dhaamneen ni guba. Maatewos 3:12.

In that period God’s people are to take the message from the angel’s hand and eat it.

Yeroo sana keessa, sabni Waaqayyoo ergaa harka ergamaa sana keessaa fuudhee nyaachuu qabu.

> And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth. Revelation 10:1, 2.

> Anis ergamaan biraa humna qabeessa kan biraa samii keessaa buʼaa jiru nan arge; inni duumessa uffatee ture; mataa isaa irrattis sabbata waaqaa ture; fuulli isaas akka aduutti ture; miillileen isaas akka utubaawwan ibiddaatti turan. Harka isaa keessattis macaafa xinnoo banee qabatee ture; miila isaa isa mirgaa galaana irra, isa bitaa immoo lafa irra dhaabe. Mulʼata 10:1, 2.

At the arrival of the second angel on April 19, 1844, God’s people were scattered. They had been initially gathered with the fulfillment of the prophecy of Revelation chapter nine, verse fifteen on August 11, 1840, but the Lord had held His hand over a mistake in the reckoning of some of the figures on the chart.

Yeroo ergamaan lammaffaan Ebla 19, 1844tti dhufe, uummanni Waaqayyoo faca’anii turan. Isaan jalqaba irratti raawwatama raajii Mul’ata boqonnaa sagal, lakkoofsa kudha shanii, Hagayya 11, 1840tti walitti qabamanii turan; garuu Gooftaan lakkoobsa fakkiiwwan muraasa gabatee irratti shallagaman keessatti dogoggora tokko irratti harka Isaa uwwisee ture.

> “I have seen that the 1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and that it should not be altered; that the figures were as He wanted them; that His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until His hand was removed.” Early Writings, 74.

> “Ani harki 1843 chaartiin harka Gooftaaatiin qajeelfamee akka ture, innis jijjiiramuu akka hin qabne; lakkoofsonni sunis akkuma Inni barbaadetti akka turan; harki Isaas lakkoofsa keessaa muraasa keessatti dogoggora tokko irra turee isa dhoksee akka ture, akka namni tokko iyyuu isa argu hin dandeenye, hamma harki Isaa irraa kaafamutti.” Early Writings, 74.

The removal of His hand allowed Samuel Snow to identify the correct date for the vision that tarried.

Harki isaa kaafamuun mul’ata tursiifame sanaaf guyyaa sirrii ta’e akka Samuel Snow adda baasu dandeessise.

> “Those faithful, disappointed ones, who could not understand why their Lord did not come, were not left in darkness. Again they were led to their Bibles to search the prophetic periods. The hand of the Lord was removed from the figures, and the mistake was explained. They saw that the prophetic periods reached to 1844, and that the same evidence which they had presented to show that the prophetic periods closed in 1843, proved that they would terminate in 1844.” Early Writings, 237.

> “Warri amanamoo, abdii kutatanii fi maaliif Gooftaan isaanii akka hin dhufne hubachuu hin dandeenye sun, dukkana keessatti hin hafne. Ammas yeroo raajii qorachuuf gara Macaafa Qulqulluu isaanii geeffaman. Harki Gooftaa lakkoofsa keessaa irraa kaafame, dogoggorris ibsame. Isaanis yeroo raajii sun hanga 1844tti akka ga’u argan; ragaan inni isaanii yeroo raajii sun bara 1843tti akka cufamu agarsiisuuf dhiheessan sunis, bara 1844tti akka xumuramu mirkaneesse.” Early Writings, 237.

The history of the first and second angels contains a line of waymarks associated with Christ’s hand. When He descended on August 11, 1840 and April 19, 1844 He had a message in His hand. It was His hand that directed the production and publication of the 1843 chart in May of 1842. It was His hand that sealed up a mistake in the figures on the chart. After the scattering of that first disappointment, Jeremiah sat alone because of Christ’s hand. Then He removed His hand, and thus unsealed the message of the Midnight Cry. The act of stretching His hand out to gather His people a second time occurred from the first disappointment unto the Exeter camp meeting, as the disciples were ultimately gathered together at Jerusalem for ten days in advance of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. At the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844 the Lord lifted up His hand.

Seenaan ergamootaa isa jalqabaa fi isa lammaffaa keessatti sararri mallattoolee karaa, kan harka Kiristoosiin walqabatu, ni argama. Inni jechuunis, yeroo Inni gaafa Hagayya 11, 1840 fi Ebla 19, 1844 gadi buʼe, harka Isaa keessatti ergaa tokko qaba ture. Harki Isaa qopheessuu fi maxxansiisuu chaartii bara 1843 kan Caamsaa 1842 keessatti hojjetame ni qajeelche. Harki Isaa dogoggora lakkoofsota chaartii sana irratti ture cufee ni mallatteesse. Faffacaʼuu mufannaa isa jalqabaa sanaa booddee, Ermiyaas sababii harka Kiristoosiif kophaa isaa taaʼe. Sana booda Inni harka Isaa kaase; akkasumas ergaan Iyyiisa Halkan Walakkaa jedhamu ni baname. Tarkaanfiin harka Isaa diriirsee yeroo lammaffaatti saba Isaa walitti qabuuf godhe, mufannaa isa jalqabaatii hamma walgaʼii qubannaa Exeteritti ture; akkuma barattoonni dhangalaʼuu Hafuura Qulqulluu dura guyyoota kudhaniif Yerusaalemitti dhuma irratti walitti qabaman sana. Yeroo ergamaan sadaffaan gaafa Onkoloolessa 22, 1844 dhufe, Gooftaan harka Isaa ol kaase.

> And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer. Revelation 10:5, 6.

> Maleekaan ani galaana irraas lafa irraas dhaabatee arge sun harka isaa gara samii ol kaasaa, Isa bara baraan jiraatu, isa samii fi wantoota isa keessa jiran, lafa fi wantoota isa keessa jiran, akkasumas galaana fi wantoota isa keessa jiran uume sanaan kakate; yeroon siʼachi akka hin turre. Mul’ata 10:5, 6.

From the first gathering on August 11, 1840 until October 22, 1844 the history of the first and second angels is marked by Christ’s hand. On October 22, 1844 the third angel descended and the little Millerite flock was scattered by the Great Disappointment. On that date Christ lifted His hand to heaven and swore that time would be no longer.

Waxabajjii jalqabaa guyyaa Hagayya 11, 1840 irraa jalqabee hanga Onkoloolessa 22, 1844tti seenaan ergamoota isa jalqabaa fi isa lammaffaa harka Kiristoosiin mallatteeffameera. Onkoloolessa 22, 1844tti ergamaan sadaffaan gad buʼe; bushaayeen xixinnoon Milerootaas Gaddisiisa Guddaadhaan bittinnaaʼe. Guyyaa sana Kiristoos harka Isaa gara samii ol kaasaatii yeroo deebiʼee akka hin jiraanne kakate.

The second gathering in the history of 1844 until 1863, began with Christ lifting up His hand, while also holding a message to be eaten in His hand. Then in 1849, He stretched forth His hand a second time to gather His scattered people. Those people had been gathered at the message of the Midnight Cry, and scattered when the event predicted did not happen. At the Exeter camp meeting Christ gathered His flock and unified them upon the message, as He had done in the ten days that preceded Pentecost. The Philadelphian Millerites left the Exeter camp meeting and repeated Pentecost. In 1856, Christ was outside of the movement that had transitioned into Laodicea, for Christ stands outside of a Laodicean’s heart and knocks, seeking an entrance.

Walitti qabsoo lammaffaa seenaa bara 1844 irraa eegalee hanga 1863tti, Kiristoos harka Isaa ol kaasuudhaan jalqabe; yeroo sanas harka Isaa keessatti ergaa nyaatamu tokko qabatee ture. Achiis bara 1849 keessatti, inni saba Isaa bittinnaa’e walitti qabuuf yeroo lammaffaaf harka Isaa diriirse. Sabni sun ergaa Iyya Halkan Walakkaa irratti walitti qabamee ture; yeroo taatee duraan raajame sun hin raawwatamin immoo bittinnaa’e. Walga’ii kaampii Exeteritti Kiristoos akkuma guyyoota kudhan Pheenxeqoosxee dura turanitti godhe sana, bushaayee Isaa walitti qabee ergaa sana irratti tokko isaan godhe. Milariitonni Filadelfiyaa walga’ii kaampii Exeterii irraa bahanii Pheenxeqoosxee irra deebi’anii raawwatan. Bara 1856 keessatti, Kiristoos sochii Laa’odiiqeyyaatti ce’e sana keessaa alatti ture; sababiin isaas Kiristoos garaa nama Laa’odiiqeyyaa tokkoo alatti dhaabatee seenuu barbaacha balbala rukutaa jira.

> Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20.

> Kunoo, ani balbala irrattan dhaabadhee rukutaa jira; namni tokko yoo sagalee koo dhaga’ee balbala bane, ani gara isaa nan seena; isa wajjin nan nyaadha, innis anaa wajjin ni nyaata. Mul’ata Yohaannis 3:20.

In 1856, Christ’s hand was knocking upon the Laodicean Millerite movement, but to no avail. In 1849, seven years earlier, He had begun to gather His people a second time, but doubt and uncertainty stopped the Philadelphian movement.

Bara 1856tti, harki Kiristoos sochii Miiliireetii Laoodeeqiyaa balbala rukutaa ture; garuu bu'aan hin argamne. Bara 1849tti, waggaa torba kanaan dura, inni yeroo lammaffaaf saba isaa walitti qabuu jalqabee ture; garuu shakkii fi mirkaneeffannaa dhabamuun sochii Filadelfiyaa dhaabe.

> “Had Adventists, after the great disappointment in 1844, held fast their faith and followed on unitedly in the opening providence of God, receiving the message of the third angel and in the power of the Holy Spirit proclaiming it to the world, they would have seen the salvation of God, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts, the work would have been completed, and Christ would have come ere this to receive His people to their reward. But in the period of doubt and uncertainty that followed the disappointment, many of the advent believers yielded their faith. . . . Thus the work was hindered, and the world was left in darkness. Had the whole Adventist body united upon the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, how widely different would have been our history!” Evangelism, 695.

> “Adveentistonni bara 1844 keessa abdii kutannaa guddaa sana booddee amantii isaanii jabeessanii qabatanii, kennaa banee Waaqayyoo keessatti tokkummaadhaan itti fufanii, ergaa ergamaa sadaffaa fudhatanii humna Hafuura Qulqulluutiin addunyaatti labsanii utuu taʼee, fayyina Waaqayyoo arganii turan; Gooftaan carraaqqii isaanii wajjin humna guddaadhaan hojjetee ture; hojii sunis raawwatamee ture, Kiristoosis yeroo kanatti dura saba Isaa badhaasa isaanii fudhachuuf dhufee ture. Garuu yeroo shakkii fi wallaalummaa abdii kutannaa sana booddee dhufe keessatti, amantoonni dhufaatii keessaa baayʼeen amantii isaanii gad dhiisan.... Akkasiin hojii sun gufachiifame, addunyaanis dukkana keessatti hafe. Qaamni Adveentistii guutuun abboommii Waaqayyoo fi amantii Yesuus irratti tokkoomee utuu taʼee, seenaan keenya akkam balʼinaan garaagarummaa qabaatee ture!” Evangelism, 695.

On September 11, 2001 Christ gathered His last day people, who were thereafter scattered on July 18, 2020. On September 11, 2001 those who were gathered took the hidden book out of Christ’s hand and ate it. On July 18, 2020 they rejected the command represented by His uplifted hand, which identified that “time would be no longer.”

Fulbaana 11, 2001 irratti Kiristoos saba Isaa warra guyyaa dhumaa walitti qabe; isaanis ergasii Adoolessa 18, 2020 irratti bittinnaa’an. Fulbaana 11, 2001 irratti warri walitti qabaman kitaaba dhokataa harka Kiristoos keessaa fuudhanii nyaatan. Adoolessa 18, 2020 irratti immoo ajaja harka Isaa ol kaafameen agarsiifame, kan “yeroon mootummaa akka hin dheeranne” jedhu, didan.

The Philadelphian Millerites manifested no rebellion in their false prediction of 1843, for they acted upon all the light the Lord had revealed, but on July 18, 2020 the Laodiceans of the third angel’s movement rebelled against the light associated with His hand. After 1844, the Philadelphian movement of the first angel “in the period of doubt and uncertainty” “yielded their faith,” and became Laodiceans.

Miilerotnii Fiilaadelfiyaa fincilummaa hin mul’isin tilmaama isaanii sobaa bara 1843 keessatti, sababni isaas isaan ifa hundumaa Gooftaan isaanitti mul’ise irratti hojjatanii turan; garuu Adoolessa 18, 2020 irratti, Laa’odiiqeyoonni sochii ergamaa sadaffaa keessa jiran ifa harka Isaa wajjin walqabatu irratti fincilan.

1856 represents that point of transition, typifying a point of transition for God’s people of the last days.

Somewhere in the seven years between 1849 and 1856 the Philadelphian Millerite movement resisted the Lord’s hand that was stretching out to gather His people a second time, and the promise was that He would do more then, than He did in the past.

> “September 23, the Lord showed me that he had stretched out his hand the second time to recover the remnant of his people, and that efforts must be redoubled in this gathering time. In the scattering time Israel was smitten and torn; but now in the gathering time God will heal and bind up his people. In the scattering, efforts made to spread the truth had but little effect, accomplished but little or nothing; but in the gathering when God has set his hand to gather his people, efforts to spread the truth will have their designed effect. All should be united and zealous in the work. I saw that it was a shame for any to refer to the scattering for examples to govern us now in the gathering; for if God does no more for us now than he did then, Israel would never be gathered. It is as necessary that the truth should be published in a paper, as preached.” Review and Herald, November 1, 1850.

> “Fulbaana 23, Gooftaan yeroo lammaffaaf harka isaa diriirsee haftee saba isaa deebisee akka fudhatu natti argisiise; yeroo walitti qabamuu kana keessattis tattaaffiin dachaa dachaatti cimee hojjetamuu akka qabu natti mul’ise.

Obviously, the Lord attempted to move His work forward in unity, but the unity had evidently broken down, and “in the period of doubt and uncertainty that followed the disappointment, many of the advent believers yielded their faith.” The Present Truth (later the Review and Herald) began to be published in 1849, and by 1851 the 1850 chart was available, but by 1856, the message of the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six was left unfinished. The message that was unsealed on October 22, 1844 occurred when the time prophecies of the twenty-three hundred years and the twenty-five hundred and twenty years concluded.

Ifatti, Gooftaan hojii Isaa tokkummaadhaan gara fuulduraatti sochoosuuf yaale; garuu tokkummaan sun akka mul’atutti diigamee ture; akkasumas, “yeroo shakkii fi hin-mirkanne kan gaddabbiin sana hordofe keessatti, warri amantoota adventii hedduun amantii isaanii gad dhiisan.” The Present Truth (boodas Review and Herald jedhamuun beekame) bara 1849 keessa maxxanfamuu jalqabe; akkasumas, bara 1851tti chaartiin 1850 ni argame; garuu bara 1856tti, ergaan “yeroo torbaa” kan Leewwota digdamii jaha keessaa ture osoo hin xumuramin hafe.

The Sabbath was the doctrine that shone above the other doctrines at that time, and for twelve years a testing process progressed until the last test arrived in 1856. That test was upon the Sabbath rest for the land, and it marked the end of a testing process that began with the Sabbath rest for men. The testing period bore the signature of Alpha and Omega. 1856 also represented an increase of knowledge upon the first foundational truth discovered by Miller, so it possessed the signature of Alpha and Omega at that level as well. The Sabbath truth being the sign of God’s sanctified people was represented as the sounding of the seventh trumpet, when the mystery of Christ in the believer, the hope of glory is fulfilled. The “seven times” was represented by the Jubilee trumpet that was to be sounded on the Day of Atonement.

Sanbanni yeroo sana barsiisawwan kaan hundumaa olitti ifee mul’ate ture; waggoota kudha lamaafis adeemsi qormaataa tokko hamma qormaanni dhumaa bara 1856tti dhufutti itti fufe.

Yeroon qormaataa sun mallattoo Alfaa fi Oomeegaa baatee ture.

The seven years from 1856 unto 1863 represented the ten days in Jerusalem for the disciples, and the six days of the Exeter camp meeting for the Philadelphian Millerites, but, sadly, the period became the illustration of those who refuse to follow the Lord as He leads them through the transition period. The history of the first and second angels, which is the historical period of the seven thunders, identifies the Lord stretching His hand to gather His people a second time from April 19, 1844, and it illustrates an obedient response as the wise followed Christ into the Most Holy Place.

Bara 1856 irraa kaasee hamma 1863tti turan sun, bartootaaf guyyoota kudhan Yerusaalem keessatti turan bakka buʼan; Milleroota Filadelfiyaa warra walgaʼii kaampii Exeterii keessatti guyyoota jaʼa turaniifis akkasuma bakka buʼan; garuu gaddisiisaan, yeroo sanatti fakkeenya warra yeroo ceʼumsaa keessatti Gooftaan akkuma isaan geggeessutti isa duukaa buʼuu didanii taʼe.

The history of the first Kadesh, which is the history of the third angel from 1844 unto 1863 identifies the Lord again stretching His hand to gather His people a second time, but in that history, rebellion is manifested. Now, for the third time, ever since July 2023, the Lord is again stretching forth His hand to gather His people a second time, and they will fulfill the second Kadesh as obedient Philadelphians, for the signature of truth identifies the three times as the beginning and ending representing obedient Philadelphians, and the middle example being disobedient Laodiceans.

Seenaa Qaadesh isa jalqabaa, jechuunis seenaa ergamaa sadaffaa kan bara 1844 irraa jalqabee hanga 1863tti ture, Gooftaan ummata Isaa yeroo lammaffaaf walitti qabuuuf harka Isaa irra deebiʼee diriirsuu akka mulʼisu beeksisa; garuu seenaa sana keessatti fincilli ni mulʼata.

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

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

Kun warra beekumsa Waaqaatiin qaba jedhan hundumaa, akkasumas ajajawwan Isaa eegu jedhu, garuu hojii gaariidhaan kana hin mul’ifne hunda of keessatti qabata. Isaan hojii isaanii akka ta’etti ni fudhatu. ‘Namni Isuma keessa jiraatu hundinuu cubbuu hin hojjetu; namni cubbuu hojjetu hundinuu Isa hin argine, Isaas hin beekne’ [1 Yohaannis 3:6]. Kun miseensota waldaa hundaaf, miseensota waldoota Adveentistii Guyyaa Torbaffaatiin dabalatee, kan dubbatamedha. ‘Yaa ijoollee xixinnoo, namni tokko illee isin haa hin gowwoomsin; inni qajeelummaa hojjetu qajeelaa dha, akkuma Inni qajeelaa ta’e. Inni cubbuu hojjetu kan Seexanaa ti; Seexanni jalqabumaa jalqabee cubbuu hojjetaa tureetii. Ilmi Waaqaa hojii Seexanaa diiguudhaaf kanaaf mul’ate.

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

> “This is applicable to many who claim to believe the truth. Rather than give up their lustful practices, they venture on in a wrong line of education under Satan’s deceiving sophistry. Sin is not discerned as sinful. Their very consciences are defiled, their hearts are corrupted, even the thoughts are continually corrupt. Satan uses them as decoys to lure souls to unclean practices which defile the whole being. ‘He that despised Moses’ law [which was the law of God] died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God’ [Hebrews 10:28–31].” Manuscript Releases, volume 19, 176, 177.
