Leviticus twenty-three presents the spring and the fall feasts, and the representation of the feasts is divinely profound in the structure, and in the perfect alignment of the beginning and ending structures, within the overall structure. The spring feasts and fall feasts align with one another. The chapter bears witness of Palmoni, the wonderful numberer over and over again. The chapter soundly and marvelously connects with the latter-day message of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Lewwotaa boqonnaan digdamii sadi ayyaana birraa fi ayyaana arfaasaa ni dhiheessa; fakkeenyi ayyaanotaa immoo bifa ijaarsa keessatti, akkasumas ijaarsa waliigalaa keessatti sirna jalqabaa fi sirna xumuraa walitti quunnamtii guutuu qabu keessatti, karaa hafuuraa Waaqayyoon kennameen baayʼee gadi fagaataa dha. Ayyaanonni birraa fi ayyaanonni arfaasaa walitti qindaaʼu. Boqonnaan sun Palmoni, lakkooftuu dinqisiisaa sana, irra deddeebiʼee dhugaa baʼa. Boqonnaan sun ergaa bara dhumaa waaʼee dhibba afurtamii afur kuma sanaa wajjin cimsee fi dinqisiisaan walitti hidhata.

The number “23” represents the atonement, which is the combination of Divinity and humanity. The name Leviticus represents the priesthood of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for all the prophets speak of the latter days, and the priests of the latter days are those who Peter identifies as a holy priesthood. Peter’s holy priesthood is the wise who understand the increase of knowledge that produces the message of the Midnight Cry. The foolish, or wicked as Daniel identifies them, reject the increase of knowledge, and Hosea informs us that for this reason they are rejected as priests.

Lakkoofsi “23” araara namaaf baasuu kan bakka bu’u yoo ta’u, kunis walitti makama Waaqummaa fi namummaa ti. Maqaan Leewwotaas tajaajila lubummaa kuma dhibba tokkoo fi afurtamii afurii bakka bu’a; raajonni hundinuu guyyoota dhumaa dubbatu, luboonni guyyoota dhumaa immoo warra Pheexiroos akka lubummaa qulqulluu jedhee adda baasu dha. Lubummaan qulqulluun Pheexiroos kun ogeeyyii dabalata beekumsaa ergaa Iyya Halkan Walakkaa uumu hubatan dha. Gowwoonni, yookaan akkuma Daani’el isaan adda baasu hamoonni, dabalata beekumsaa ni didu; Hosee immoo sababii kanaaf isaan luboota ta’anii akka hin fudhatamne nutti hima.

> My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. Hosea 4:6, 7.

> Uummanni beekumsa beekumsa dhabuu irraa kaʼee ni bada; ati beekumsa waan diddeef, anis akka ati anaaf luba hin taane si nan dida; ati seera Waaqa keetii waan dagatteef, anis ijoollee kee nan dagadha. Akkuma isaan baayʼatanii turan, akkasuma ana irratti cubbuu hojjetan; kanaafis ulfina isaanii gara qaanii nan jijjiira. Hosea 4:6, 7.

The drunkards of Ephraim, who Isaiah also calls the “crown of glory” have their glory turned into “shame.” Hosea specifically identifies that those who reject the increase of knowledge of the latter days are the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, for he recorded, “My people.” His people will be rejected as priests, and it happens in the final and fourth generation, for He is to forget their children, and children represent the last generation.

ኤፍሬም የሰከሩትን፣ ኢሳይያስ ደግሞ “የክብር ዘውድ” ብሎ የሚጠራቸውን፣ ክብራቸው ወደ “ነውር” ተለውጦአል። ሆሴዕ ደግሞ በተለይ የኋለኛውን ዘመን የእውቀት መጨመር የሚክዱት የሎዶቅያ የሰባተኛ ቀን አድቬንቲስት ቤተ ክርስቲያን መሆናቸውን ይለያል፤ ምክንያቱም “ሕዝቤ” ብሎ ጽፎአልና። ሕዝቡ ካህናት እንዳይሆኑ ይጣሉ፤ ይህም በመጨረሻውና በአራተኛው ትውልድ ይፈጸማል፥ ልጆቻቸውን እርሱ ይረሳ ዘንድ ተነግሮአልና፤ ልጆችም የመጨረሻውን ትውልድ ይወክላሉ።

## At—one—ment

At—one—ment

The title of “Leviticus 23,” means “the atonement of the priesthood of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.” This truth can be deduced with simply the name of the book in connection with the chapter number. The atonement, which Leviticus twenty-three addresses means “at-one-ment,” and is identifying the combination of Divinity and humanity. That combination is represented with a multitude of symbols in God’s Word, one of which is that the human temple is to be combined with the Divine temple.

“ዘሌዋውያን 23” የሚለው ርእስ ማለት “የመቶ አርባ አራት ሺህ ካህናት ስርየት” ማለት ነው። ይህ እውነት በመጽሐፉ ስም ከምዕራፉ ቁጥር ጋር በማያያዝ ብቻ ሊገነዘብ ይችላል። ዘሌዋውያን ሃያ ሦስት የሚናገረው ስርየት “አንድነት መሆን” ማለት ሲሆን፣ መለኮትና ሰብአዊነት መቀላቀላቸውን ያመለክታል። ይህ ቅንጅት በእግዚአብሔር ቃል በብዙ ምልክቶች የተወከለ ሲሆን፣ ከእነዚህ አንዱ የሰብአዊው ቤተ መቅደስ ከመለኮታዊው ቤተ መቅደስ ጋር ሊቀላቀል እንዲገባ መሆኑ ነው።

The human temple has a framework of “23” male and “23” female chromosomes. Peter identifies that the priesthood of the one hundred and forty-four thousand are a “spiritual house.” Those chromosomes join together as does a man and woman, and what God has joined together, let no man put asunder. The marriage is another symbol of the at-one-ment. Leviticus “23” means the combination of the temple of the Heavenly High Priest, with the temple of the priests who are the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Namtichi namaa bu’uuraa kromosoomota dhiiraa “23” fi kromosoomota dubartii “23” qaba. Pheexiros luba mootummaa kuma dhibba afurtamii afur sana “mana hafuuraa” akka ta’e ni ibsa. Kromosoomonni sun akkuma dhiirrii fi dubartiin walitti hidhatanitti walitti makamu; waan Waaqayyo walitti makse immoo namni tokko illee haa hin addaan baasin. Fuudhaa fi heerumni mallattoo biraa tokkummaa guutuu sanaati. Lewwoota “23” jechuun walitti makamuun mana qulqullummaa Luba Ol-aanaa Samii sanaa, wajjin mana qulqullummaa luboota warra kuma dhibba afurtamii afur ta’anii jechuu dha.

The spring feasts in Leviticus twenty-three are represented in the first twenty-two verses of the chapter, and the fall feasts are represented in the last twenty-two verses of the chapter. The last verse is verse forty-four, a symbol of 1844, when the antitypical Day of Atonement began on the tenth day of the seventh month, in fulfillment of Leviticus twenty-three. Chapter twenty-three is divided into two periods of twenty-two verses, both twenty-two verse periods are logically connected by being feasts, but also logically separated by Christ’s courtyard and holy place ministry, represented by the springtime and His Most Holy Place ministry represented by the fall.

## 22

22

Both the spring and fall feasts are represented by twenty-two verses, and the verses align with the witness of the Hebrew alphabet, which consists of “22” letters. “22” is a tithe of “220,” which is a symbol of the combination of Divinity and humanity. “220” represents the starting of both the 2,520 years of the scattering of Judah, and the 2,300 years until the Day of Atonement. The starting point of the 2,520 was 677 BC and the starting point for the 2,300 was 457 BC, thus identifying two hundred and twenty years as the link between the prophecy of the trampling down of God’s host and the prophecy of the trampling down of God’s sanctuary. Both those prophecies ended at the antitypical Day of Atonements’ arrival on October 22, 1844.

On that date, the work of Christ in combining the human temple with the Divine temple began, and at that time, both Habakkuk 2:20 and John 2:20 were fulfilled. Habakkuk identified the Divine was then in the Most Holy Place, and John recorded that the Millerite temple that was to enter by faith into that Most Holy Place had completed the forty-six-year period, that marked the erection of the Millerite human temple from 1798 unto 1844. The history of “46” years, consisting of “23” and “23” is represented by the work of William Miller who first began to present the message of that history in 1831, “220” years after the publication of the King James Bible. The Divine Word published in 1611, was combined with a human messenger “220” years later in 1831. Both the spring and fall feasts are represented by “22” verses.

Ayyaanonni birraa fi birraa boodaa lamaan isaanii iyyuu lakkoofsa keeyyata “22”tiin bakka buufamu.

Twenty-two verses of two lines of the same subject demands that prophetically the first twenty-two verses are to be laid over the top of the next twenty-two verses. In aligning the two lines in this fashion you are joining the work of the courtyard and holy place, represented in the spring feasts with the work of Christ in the Most Holy Place. At this prophetic level it represents the joining of two temples, which illustrates Christ’s work of at-one-ment.

Mata-duree wal-fakkaatan lama, dhimmuma tokkoo irratti, akka raajiiatti mata-dureen wal-fakkaataan inni jalqabaa lamaa fi digdamaan, mata-dureen wal-fakkaataan itti aanan lamaa fi digdama irratti akka kaa’amu gaafata. Sararoota lamaan kana akkaataa kanaan wal-qindeessuun, hojii oobdii fi Iddoo Qulqulluu, kan ayyaanota birraa keessatti argaman, hojii Kiristoos Iddoo Hundumaa caalaa Qulqulluu keessatti hojjetu wajjin walitti hidhuu dha. Sadarkaa raajii kana irratti inni mana qulqullummaa lama walitti makuu agarsiisa; kunis hojii Kiristoos kan araara walitti-bu’iinsa balleessu sana ibsa.

When verses one through twenty-two are aligned with verse twenty-three through forty-four, a prophetic line is established that is witnessed to by the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and by the symbolism represented by the number “22” and also by the symbolism represented by the feasts in accompaniment with those feasts fulfillment in sacred history.

Yommuu lakkoofsonni tokko hanga digdama lamaatti lakkoofsa digdama sadii hanga afurtamii afuriitti waliin qindeeffaman, sararri raajii hundeeffama; kunis qubee digdama lamaa alifbee Ibrootaan, akkasumas mallattoo lakkoofsa “22”n bakka buufamee fi akkasumas mallattoo ayyaanaalee sanaan bakka buufamee, raawwatamuu isaanii seenaa qulqulluu keessatti ayyaanaalee sana waliin taʼeen ragaa baʼamaaf.

The beginning of the spring feasts first identifies the seventh-day Sabbath and the ending of the fall feasts identifies the seventh-year Sabbath. Christ, as Alpha and Omega placed the Sabbath at the beginning and ending of the two witnesses of “22” in the line of the priesthood of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

መጀመርታ ናይ ጸደይ በዓላት ቅድሚ ኩሉ ነቲ ሻብዓይ መዓልቲ ሰንበት ይለልይ፣ መወዳእታ ናይ ቀውዒ በዓላት ድማ ነቲ ሻብዓይ ዓመት ሰንበት ይለልይ። ክርስቶስ፣ ከም ኣልፋን ኦሜጋን፣ ነታ ሰንበት ኣብ መጀመርታን መወዳእታን ናይቶም “22” ክልተ ምስክራት ኣብ መስመር ክህነት ናይቶም ሚእቲን ኣርብዓን ኣርባዕተን ሽሕ ኣቐመጣ።

The seventh-day Sabbath was the special light at the beginning of the antitypical Day of Atonement in 1844, and the light of the seventh-year Sabbath is the light at the end. The seventh-day Sabbath was also the first holy convocation of Leviticus “23,” as is the seventh-year Sabbath the last holy convocation in the chapter. Sabbath is the alpha and omega of the priest’s line in chapter “23.” The first, and seventh-day Sabbath is the alpha of the priesthood of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the last, and seventh-year Sabbath is the omega of the priesthood of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

> “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. As they near the close of this earth’s history, their knowledge of Christ, and of the prophecies relating to him, greatly increases. They are of infinite worth in God’s sight; for they are in unity with his Son. 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 that unlocks all mysteries and solves all difficulties. Those who have been unwilling to receive the light and walk in the light will be unable 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.” The Southern Watchman, April 4, 1905.

Here, “near the close of this earth’s history,” at the end of the antitypical Day of Atonement, the “doctrine of the incarnation” is invested with a “soft” radiance as was the doctrine of the seventh-day Sabbath at the beginning of the antitypical Day of Atonement.

> “Jesus raised the cover of the ark, and I beheld the tables of stone on which the Ten Commandments were written. 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.

> “ଯୀଶୁ ସିନ୍ଦୂକର ଆବରଣକୁ ଉତ୍ତୋଳନ କଲେ, ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ସେହି ପାଷାଣ-ଫଳକଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଦେଖିଲି ଯାହାର ଉପରେ ଦଶ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଲିଖିତ ଥିଲା। ଦଶଟି ଆଜ୍ଞାର ମଧ୍ୟଭାଗରେ ଚତୁର୍ଥ ଆଜ୍ଞାକୁ ଦେଖି ମୁଁ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟଚକିତ ହେଲି, ଏବଂ ତାହାକୁ ଘେରି ଏକ କୋମଳ ଆଲୋକମଣ୍ଡଳ ବିରାଜିତ ଥିଲା। ଦୂତ କହିଲେ: ‘ଦଶଟି ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଏହାହିଁ ଏକମାତ୍ର ଯାହା ସେହି ସଜୀବ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କୁ ପରିଚିହ୍ନିତ କରେ, ଯିଏ ଆକାଶମଣ୍ଡଳ, ପୃଥିବୀ ଏବଂ ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକର ଅନ୍ତର୍ଭୁକ୍ତ ସମସ୍ତ ବସ୍ତୁ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିଥିଲେ। ପୃଥିବୀର ଭିତ୍ତିମୂଳ ସ୍ଥାପିତ ହେବାବେଳେ, ସେତେବେଳେ ବିଶ୍ରାମଦିନର ଭିତ୍ତିମୂଳ ମଧ୍ୟ ସ୍ଥାପିତ ହୋଇଥିଲା।’” Testimonies, volume 1, 75.

The seventh-day Sabbath, which is a “foundation,” begins Leviticus “23” and the seventh-year Sabbath ends the testimony of the priests as represented by the spring and fall feasts. The seventh-year Sabbath represents the temple that is built upon the foundation. The seventh-year Sabbath at the end is represented by the 2,520, just as the seventh-day Sabbath is represented by the 2,300. The seventh-year Sabbath represents the “doctrine of the incarnation.” The seventh-day Sabbath is the sign of the Creator and the seventh-year Sabbath is the sign of Divinity combined with humanity.

When we align the spring feasts with the fall feasts in Leviticus twenty-three, the feast of Passover, is followed the next day by the seven-day feast of unleavened bread, and the feast of first fruits follows the day after the seven-day feast of unleavened bread begins. Three waymarks in three days.

Yommuu ayyaanota birraa ayyaanota kufaatii wajjin keessa Lewwoota boqonnaa digdamii-sadii keessatti walitti qindeessinu, ayyaanni Faasikaa, guyyaa itti aanutti ayyaana buddeena raacitii hin qabne guyyoota torbaa turuun ni duukaa bu’a; ayyaanni firii jalqabaa immoo guyyaa ayyaanni buddeena raacitii hin qabne guyyoota torbaa sun itti jalqabu irraa guyyaa itti aanutti ni dhufa. Guyyoota sadi keessatti mallattoolee karaaa sadii.

The period of seven days that makes up the feast of unleavened bread begins with a holy convocation and ends with the same. The day after the feast of unleavened bread begins, the feast of first fruits arrives, and it includes the spring barley first fruit offering. Pentecost, also called the feast of weeks occurs fifty days after the feast of first fruits, which marks the beginning of a seven-week period that ends on the forty-ninth day, which is followed by Pentecost, meaning fifty.

خمير نايتنيرع رمدى شبع ياعي، إبان يقداسم غهوك اديس إيي، واديشس اكاكتما. عيد الفطير إبانتچيكا بوللو، عيد الباكّو ثميسو، وادي إيسا بركعايچي يربابا دُراتي قرشابا ياعي. پنطيقوستى، اوكّا عيد الأسابيع جدهمتو، عيد الباكّو بوذرو عبّاي كُدومبا كن شانتاما ثاناما، واديشس سابعا شبع ياعي كاقديسو، اذي اوبّا افورتي نايثني رمدى چابو، پنطيقوستى، اذي «خمسين» ماكّا، يتأكيتو.

Passover begins at even on the fourteenth. Passover is not a holy convocation.

Faasikaa galgala guyyaa kudha afraffaa irratti jalqaba. Faasikaan walga’ii qulqulluu miti.

Then on the fifteenth day, the seven-day feast of unleavened bread arrives. The first day and the last day of the seven-day feast is holy convocations.

Ergasii guyyaa kudha shanaffaatti ayyaanni buddeena raacitii hin qabne kan guyyaa torbaa ni gaʼa. Guyyaan jalqabaa fi guyyaan dhumaa ayyaana guyyaa torbaa sanaa walgaʼiiwwan qulqulluu dha.

The next day, the sixteenth day, the day of first fruits arrives. Then the seven weeks that are marked by the feast of Pentecost begins, and Pentecost is one of the seven holy convocations represented in the spring and fall feasts. First fruits is not a holy convocation.

Guyyaan itti aanu, guyyaa kudha jahaffaan, guyyaan firii angafaa ni dhufa. Achiis torban torban torba, ayyaana Phinxeqosteen mallatteeffaman, ni jalqabu; Phinxeqostees ayyaanota guguddoo waaqeffannaa qulqulluu torban keessaa tokko, kan ayyaana isaanii keessaa keessatti ayyaana yeroo birraa fi yeroo kufaatii bakka bu’an keessaa isa tokko dha. Firii angafaa garuu waaqeffannaa qulqulluu miti.

Then on the first day of the seventh month the feast of trumpets, is a holy convocation.

Egaa guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa torbaffaatti Ayyaanni Malakataa ni taʼa; innis walgaʼii qulqulluu dha.

The Day of Atonement on the tenth day of the seventh month is a holy convocation, but not a feast.

Ji’a torbee harka torbaffaa keessa guyyaa kudhanaffaatti Guyyaan Araaraa walga’ii qulqulluu dha, garuu ayyaana miti.

The first day of the feast of Tabernacles is a holy convocation. After the seven-day feast there is the eighth day of tabernacles, though the eighth day is considered outside the periods represented by the feasts. That eighth day is a holy convocation.

Ayyaanni Daasaraa mana qopheeffannaa jalqabaa walga’ii qulqulluu dha. Ayyaana guyyaa torbanii booddee guyyaan saddeettaffaa daasaraa mana qopheeffannaa jira, ta’us guyyaan saddeettaffaan yeroo ayyaanonni bakka bu’an keessaa ala akka ta’e ni ilaalama. Guyyaan saddeettaffaan sun walga’ii qulqulluu dha.

This equates to seven holy convocations when you include the seventh-day Sabbath that introduces the feasts. Seven holy convocations and seven feasts, though they align differently than the holy convocations. The first and last waymarks are Sabbaths, first for day, then for the year. Within the feasts that are identified between the alpha and omega Sabbaths there are seven feasts and five holy convocations. If you include the alpha seventh-day Sabbath and the omega seventh-year Sabbath you have seven holy convocations and seven feasts. It is understood that the eighth day of Tabernacles is not part of the feasts, and creates the enigma of the eighth being of the seven. The point I am identifying here is that Jesus, as Palmoni organized the variations of numbers within chapter “23” in an absolutely astonishing fashion.

Kun kunniin sanbata guyyaa torbaffaa isa ayyaanota banu dabalattanitti, kun walgaʼiiwwan qulqulluu torba taʼuu wajjin walqixa taʼa. Walgaʼiiwwan qulqulluu torbaa fi ayyaanota torba, jechuunis walgaʼiiwwan qulqulluu wajjin akkaataa walitti hidhata isaanii keessatti garaagarummaa qabaatan iyyuu. Mallattoowwan karaa jalqabaa fi isa dhumaa Sanbata dha; inni jalqabaa guyyaadhaaf, itti aansuun immoo waggaadhaaf. Ayyaanota sanbata Alfaa fi Oomeegaa gidduutti adda baafaman keessaa ayyaanota torbaa fi walgaʼiiwwan qulqulluu shan jiru. Yoo sanbata guyyaa torbaffaa Alfaa fi sanbata waggaa torbaffaa Oomeegaa dabalattan, walgaʼiiwwan qulqulluu torbaa fi ayyaanota torba ni qabaattu. Guyyaan saddeettaffaa mootummaa dunkaanaa akka kutaa ayyaanotaa hin taane ni hubatama; kunis iccitii lakkoofsi saddeetiin torban keessaa taʼuu uuma. Qabxiin ani asitti agarsiisaa jiru keessaa, Yesuus akka Palmoni taʼee, garaagarummaa lakkoofsotaa boqonnaa “23” keessatti haala baayʼee nama dinqisiisuu taʼeen qindeesseera.

## Spring

Guga keessaa jechuun jedhu jechuun ‘biqiluu’ yookaan ‘guyyaa biqiltuu’ dha. Inni fakkeenya kan ta’u lubbuu haaraa isa Kiristoos keessatti nuuf kennamee fi lafa irraa ka’umsaa fi haaraa ta’eedha. Guga keessaa, yeroon qilleensi laafaa ta’u, lafti magariisaa deebi’ee ba’u, biqiltoonnis biqilanii daraaran, hojii uumamaa Waaqayyoo keessatti haaromsa argina. Garuu, hiikkaan isaa akka amala qofaatti hin dhaabatu; inni dhugaa hafuuraa gadi fagoo of keessaa qaba. Akkuma lafti qilleensa qorra keessaa kaatee gara jireenya haaraatti deebi’u, akkasuma lubbuun Waaqayyoon oolfamte du’a cubbuu keessaa baatee gara jireenya qajeelummaa haaraatti kaati. Gugi keessaa bara keenya keessatti mallattoo du’aa fi ka’uu, abdii fi haaromsa hafuuraa ta’ee dhaabbata.

The spring feasts contain a seven-day feast period of unleavened bread, containing an alpha holy convocation at the beginning and an omega holy convocation at the end. Pentecost is the third holy convocation in the spring feasts. Pentecost arrives after a seven-week period, that ends with a feast on the fiftieth day. The spring feasts are marked by four feast days and three periods. Passover, unleavened bread, first fruits and Pentecost are the four feast days, and the three periods are the seven days of unleavened bread, the forty-nine days that precede and include the fiftieth day of Pentecost and the first three days which are a period consisting of three steps.

Ayyaanon gannaa birraa keessatti ayyaana maxinoo guyyaa torbaa of keessaa qabu; kunis jalqabarratti walgaʼii qulqulluu alfa, xumurrattis walgaʼii qulqulluu omeegaa qaba. Pheenxeqoosteen walgaʼii qulqulluu sadaffaa ayyaanon gannaa birraa keessaa ti. Pheenxeqoosteen erga torban torba guutuu booda ni dhufa; kunis ayyaana guyyaa shantamaffaarratti xumurama. Ayyaanon gannaa birraa guyyoota ayyaanaa afurii fi yeroo sadan irratti mallatteeffamu. Faasikaa, maxinoo, firii jalqabaa fi Pheenxeqoosteen guyyoota ayyaanaa afuran; yeroo sadanis guyyaa torban maxinoo, guyyaa afurtamii sagal Pheenxeqoostee dura jiranii fi guyyaa shantamaffaa dabalatu, akkasumas guyyoota jalqabaa sadii kan yeroo tarkaanfii sadii of keessaa qabu dha.

The first fruit offering of the Passover period aligns with the first fruit offering on the day of Pentecost; the first fruit offerings of barley in Passover’s three-day period, and the first fruit offering of wheat on Pentecost at the conclusion of the Pentecostal season of forty-nine, slash— fifty days.

## Fall

Kufaati jechuun jechuun jedhu jechuun **Fall** dha.

The fall feasts begin with a specific feast day that initiates a ten-day period which leads to judgment. Five days after judgment a feast of seven days, of which the first and last day of the seven days are identified as holy convocations. From the fifteenth unto the twenty-second day the feast of Tabernacles is celebrated and then on the twenty-third day the Sabbath of the land is marked.

Ayyaanota kufaatii guyyaa ayyaanaa addaa tokkoon jalqabu; guyyaan kun yeroo guyyoota kudhan taʼe, isa murtiitti geessu, ni eegalsiisa. Murtii booda guyyoota shanitti ayyaanni guyyoota torbaa ni taʼa; guyyoota torban sana keessaa guyyaan jalqabaa fi guyyaan dhumaa walgaʼiiwwan qulqulluu akka taʼan ni ibsamu. Guyyaa kudha shanaffaa irraa hamma guyyaa digdamii lammaffaatti Ayyaanni Godoo ni kabajama; achiis guyyaa digdamii sadaffaatti Sanbanni biyyattii ni mallatteeffama.

When we take the fall feasts and place them over the top of the spring feasts, we have two lines that are both represented by twenty-two verses, thus they are represented by the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. When this is done, the first waymark is the holy convocation of the seventh-day Sabbath, and the last waymark is the holy convocation of the seventh-year Sabbath.

Yommuu ayyaana kufaatii fuunee ayyaana birraa irratti kaaʼnu, sararoota lama kanneen lamaan isaanii iyyuu lakkoofsa lakkoofsa digdamii lamaatiin bakka buʼan qabaanna; kanaafis qubeewwan alifbeetaa Ibrootaa digdamii lamaan bakka buʼamu. Yommuu kun raawwatamu, mallattoon karaa inni jalqabaa walgaʼii qulqulluu Sabata guyyaa torbaffaati, mallattoon karaa inni dhumaa immoo walgaʼii qulqulluu Sabata waggaa torbaffaati.

> Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. Leviticus 23:39.

> Akkasumas bultii torbaffaa keessa guyyaa kudha shanaffaattis, yeroo isin midhaan biyya sanaa walitti qabdan, guyyaa torba guutuu ayyaana Waaqayyoof ni kabajdu; guyyaa jalqabaatti boqonnaan mootummaa ni taʼa, guyyaa saddeettaffaattis boqonnaan mootummaa ni taʼa. Leewwota 23:39.

Pentecost was the early rain and Tabernacles is the latter rain. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost was represented by a day, and the outpouring represented by Tabernacles is a period that concludes, and then is followed by a Sabbath, that is the eighth day, of seven days. The Sabbath which follows the final manifestation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit represents the Sabbath of the earth resting for one thousand years.

ପେଣ୍ଟେକୋଷ୍ଟ ପ୍ରଥମ ବର୍ଷା ଥିଲା, ଏବଂ ତମ୍ବୁପର୍ବ ଶେଷ ବର୍ଷା ଅଟେ। ପେଣ୍ଟେକୋଷ୍ଟରେ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କର ଅବତରଣ ଗୋଟିଏ ଦିନ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ ହୋଇଥିଲା; ଏବଂ ତମ୍ବୁପର୍ବ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ ଅବତରଣ ଏକ କାଳଖଣ୍ଡ ଅଟେ, ଯାହାର ସମାପ୍ତି ହୁଏ, ଏବଂ ପରେ ସାତ ଦିନର ଅଷ୍ଟମ ଦିନ ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ଗୋଟିଏ ବିଶ୍ରାମଦିନ ତାହାକୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କରେ। ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କର ଅବତରଣର ଅନ୍ତିମ ପ୍ରକାଶ ପରେ ଯେ ବିଶ୍ରାମଦିନ ଆସେ, ସେହିଥିରେ ପୃଥିବୀର ଗୋଟିଏ ହଜାର ବର୍ଷର ବିଶ୍ରାମର ବିଶ୍ରାମଦିନ ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ ହୋଇଛି।

> “In the time of trouble we all fled from the cities and villages, but were pursued by the wicked, who entered the houses of the saints with a sword. They raised the sword to kill us, but it broke, and fell as powerless as a straw. Then we all cried day and night for deliverance, and the cry came up before God. The sun came up, and the moon stood still. The streams ceased to flow. Dark, heavy clouds came up and clashed against each other. But there was one clear place of settled glory, whence came the voice of God like many waters, which shook the heavens and the earth. The sky opened and shut and was in commotion. The mountains shook like a reed in the wind, and cast out ragged rocks all around. The sea boiled like a pot and cast out stones upon the land. And as God spoke the day and the hour of Jesus’ coming and delivered the everlasting covenant to His people, He spoke one sentence, and then paused, while the words were rolling through the earth. The Israel of God stood with their eyes fixed upward, listening to the words as they came from the mouth of Jehovah, and rolled through the earth like peals of loudest thunder. It was awfully solemn. And at the end of every sentence the saints shouted, ‘Glory! Alleluia!’ Their countenances were lighted up with the glory of God; and they shone with the glory, as did the face of Moses when he came down from Sinai. The wicked could not look on them for the glory. And when the never-ending blessing was pronounced on those who had honored God in keeping His Sabbath holy, there was a mighty shout of victory over the beast and over his image.

> “Gara yeroo rakkinaatti hundi keenya magaalotaa fi gandoota irraa baqanne; garuu warra hamaadhaan ari’amne; isaanis mana qulqullootaatti goraadeedhaan seenan.

> “Then commenced the jubilee, when the land should rest.” Early Writings, 34.

> “Sana jubiliin jalqabame; yeroo sanatti lafti boqotu qaba ture.” Early Writings, 34.

The jubilee is the fiftieth year, after seven cycles of seven years, which is the 49 days that lead to the fiftieth day of Pentecost. When the line of the fall feasts is brought together with the spring feasts there are 49 days that lead to Pentecost, which marks the beginning of the seven-day period of Tabernacles. Pentecost and Tabernacles align, and together they identify the period of the latter rain that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law and continues until probation closes, the Lord returns and then the earth rests, as represented by the seventh-year Sabbath, that is the eighth of the seven in the feast of Tabernacles.

jubilee jechuun waggaa shantamaffaa dha; kunis marsaa torba torba waggaa keessaa kan xumurame booddee, jechuunis guyyoota 49 kan gara guyyaa shantamaffaa Phanxaqosxee geessan dha. Yommuu sararri ayyaana kufaa ayyaanota birraa wajjin walitti fidamu, guyyoonni 49 gara Phanxaqosxee geessan ni jiru; kunis jalqaba yeroo guyyoota torbaa kan Godoo ta’uu isaa ni mallatteessa. Phanxaqosxeenii fi Godoon wal-simu; isaanis walumaan yeroo roobaa boodaa kan seera Dilbataa dhihoo dhufu sana irraa jalqabee hanga yeroo qormaataa cufamutti, Gooftaan deebi’ee dhufuutti, achiis lafti boqonnaa argattutti itti fufu ni adda baasu; kunis akkuma Sabata waggaa torbaffaadhaan bakka buufametti, jechuunis ayyaana Godoo keessatti torban keessaa saddeettaffaa dha.

When we bring both lines of twenty-two verses together, we do so for several reasons. Both lines are twenty-two verses, twenty-two being a tithe of 220, a symbol of the combination of Divinity and humanity.

Yommuu sararoonni lakkoofsa lakkoofsa digdamii lama qaban lamaan walitti fidnu, sababoota hedduudhaaf akkas goona. Sararoonni lamaan iyyuu lakkoofsa digdamii lama qabu; digdamii lamaan kudhan keessaa tokko kan 220 ta’ee, kunis mallattoo walmakaa Waaqummaa fi namummaa ti.

Both lines represent the Hebrew alphabet of twenty-two letters.

Lamaan isaanii lachanuu qubee afaan Ibruu kan qubee digdamii lama qabu ni bakka buʼu.

Both lines represent the feasts.

መስመራቱ ሁለቱም በዓላቱን ይወክላሉ።

Both lines represent the two harvest seasons of the year.

መስመራቱ ሁለቱም የዓመቱን ሁለት የመከር ወቅቶች ይወክላሉ።

Both lines represent Christ work in the courtyard, holy place and Most Holy Place. Leviticus means the priests, and Jesus is the Heavenly High Priest. For these reasons, we are justified in applying the line upon line methodology to the forty-four verses of Leviticus twenty-three.

Lallabni kun hojii Kiristoos iddoo oobdii, iddoo qulqulluu fi Iddoo Hundumaa Caalaa Qulqulluu keessatti raawwatamu ni bakka bu’u. Lewwoonni luboota kan agarsiisu dha; Yesuus immoo Angafa Lubaa Samii ti. Kanaafuu, mala “sarara irratti sarara” jedhu Lakkoofsa Lewwotaa boqonnaa digdamii sadii keeyyata afurtamii afur irratti hojii irra oolchuun keenya sirrii taʼuu isaa ni mirkaneessa.

Pentecost was the early rain for Christianity and Tabernacles is the latter rain for Christianity. We therefore align the spring “day of Pentecost” with the fall seven days of Tabernacles. When Sister White stated, “In the time of trouble we all fled from the cities and villages” she is identifying the time when God’s people are living in the wilderness due to persecution. Living in booths during the Tabernacle season typifies the history that leads directly to the Sabbath jubilee rest for the earth.

ጴንጤቆስጤ ለክርስትና የቀደመ ዝናብ ነበረ፣ መንደረ ሐብትም ለክርስትና የኋለኛ ዝናብ ነው። ስለዚህ የጸደይ “የጴንጤቆስጤ ቀን”ን ከየበልግ ወቅት የመንደረ ሐብት ሰባቱ ቀናት ጋር እናመሳስለዋለን። እህት ዋይት “በመከራው ዘመን ሁላችንም ከከተሞችና ከመንደሮች ሸሽተን ሄድን” ብላ በተናገረች ጊዜ፣ የእግዚአብሔር ሕዝብ በስደት ምክንያት በምድረ በዳ የሚኖርበትን ጊዜ እያመለከተች ነው። በመንደረ ሐብት ወቅት በዳሶች ውስጥ መኖር፣ ለምድር የሚመጣውን የሰንበት ኢዮቤልዩ ዕረፍት በቀጥታ የሚያስከትለውን ታሪክ ይወክላል።

The Day of Pentecost marks the beginning of seven days of Tabernacles. Then the jubilee is represented by the eighth day, that is of the seven days of Tabernacles. Five days before the feast of Tabernacles was the Day of Atonement. Thus, five days before Pentecost that marks the beginning of Tabernacles—judgment is marked. Ten days before the judgment of the Day of Atonement is the feast of Trumpets. When the lines are combined five days before the Sunday law, represented by Pentecost, judgment is marked. Ten days before that, the feast of Trumpets is marked.

ጴንጤቆስጤ የማደሪያ በዓል ሰባቱ ቀናት መጀመሪያን ያመለክታል። ከዚያም ኢዮቤልዩ በስምንተኛው ቀን ይወከላል፤ ይህም የማደሪያ በዓል ሰባቱ ቀናት ነው። ከማደሪያ በዓል አምስት ቀናት በፊት የኃጢአት ስርየት ቀን ነበር። ስለዚህ ጴንጤቆስጤ ማለትም የማደሪያ በዓልን መጀመሪያ ከሚያመለክተው አምስት ቀናት በፊት—ፍርድ ይመለከታል። ከዚያ የኃጢአት ስርየት ቀን ፍርድ አሥር ቀናት በፊት የመለከቶች በዓል ነው። እነዚህ መስመሮች በአንድ ላይ ሲያጣመሩ፣ በጴንጤቆስጤ የተወከለው የእሑድ ሕግ ከመድረሱ አምስት ቀናት በፊት ፍርድ ይመለከታል። ከዚያም አሥር ቀናት በፊት የመለከቶች በዓል ይመለከታል።

The baptism of Christ represented His death, burial and resurrection. Those three steps are represented by His death at Passover, His burial and rest upon the Sabbath, and His resurrection on Sunday. The three days of His death, burial and resurrection are one waymark that consists of three steps. We therefore start the combination of the two lines of spring and fall feasts at the resurrection. The resurrection of the third day begins a forty-nine-day period that leads to Pentecost, which is the Sunday law. That forty-nine-day period is preceded by the feast of unleavened bread, that begins one day before and extends five days beyond the day of first fruits.

Cuuphaan Kiristoos duʼaa Isaa, awwaalamuu Isaa fi duʼaa kaʼuu Isaa bakka buʼe. Tarkaanfiiwwan sadeen sun duʼaa Isaa Faasikaa irratti, awwaalamuu fi boqonnaa Isaa Sanbata irratti, akkasumas duʼaa kaʼuu Isaa Dilbata irratti bakka buʼu. Guyyoonni sadii kan duʼaa Isaa, awwaalamuu Isaa fi duʼaa kaʼuu Isaa mallattoo daandii tokko kan tarkaanfiiwwan sadii of keessaa qabu dha. Kanaafis walitti makamuu sararoota ayyaanota birraa fi keessa-buʼaa lamaan duʼaa kaʼuu irraa jalqabna. Duʼaa kaʼuun guyyaa sadaffaa yeroo guyyaa afurtamii sagalii taʼe tokko jalqaba; innis gara Phinxeqoosxeetti geessa, kan inni seera Dilbataa taʼe dha. Yeroon guyyaa afurtamii sagalii sun ayyaana maxinoo-dhabuu tiin dura buʼa; innis guyyaa tokko dura jalqabee, guyyaa firii jalqabaa sanaa olitti guyyaa shan itti fufa.

From the resurrection of the first fruits unto the Sunday law is forty-nine days, the Sunday law being the fiftieth day. Five days before the Sunday law judgment is represented, and ten days before that judgment the warning of the trumpets is marked. Resurrection is the first waymark, then five days later the period of unleavened bread concludes. Thirty days after unleavened bread ends, the warning of the trumpets occurs. Ten days later the judgment of the Day of Atonement is marked and five days later the Sunday law of Pentecost arrives.

jireenya mootummaa dura-bu’ootaatii kaasee hanga seera Dilbataatti guyyaan afurtamii-sagal ni ta’a; seerri Dilbataas guyyaa shantamaffaa dha. Guyyaa shan seera Dilbataa dura murtiin bakka buufamee argama; guyyaa kudhan immoo murtii sana dura akeekkachiisni malakataawwan ni mallattoofama. Jireenyi mootummaa waymark isa jalqabaa dha; achiis guyyaa shan booda yeroo buddeena raacitii hin qabnee ni xumurama. Erga buddeenni raacitii hin qabne xumuramee booda guyyaa soddoma booddee akeekkachiisni malakataawwan ni raawwatama. Guyyaa kudhan booda murtiin Guyyaa Araaraa ni mallattoofama; guyyaa shan boodas seerri Dilbataa Phenteqoostee ni dhufa.

This identifies seven waymarks in the line upon line application of the spring and fall feasts; the beginning of unleavened bread, the resurrection, the end of unleavened bread, the warning of trumpets, judgment, Pentecost and the latter rain. Those seven waymarks are set within an alpha seventh-day Sabbath and an omega seventh-year Sabbath. The seven waymarks couched between the two Sabbaths isolate and identify a five-day period, followed by a thirty-day period, a ten-day period, a five-day period and a seven-day period.

Kunis kun sararaa ayyaanota birraa fi gannaa irratti raawwatamu keessatti mallattoowwan karaa torba adda baasa; jalqaba buddeena raacitii hin qabnee, du’aa keessaa ka’uu, dhuma buddeena raacitii hin qabnee, akeekkachiisa malakatawwanii, murtii, Phentekoosxee fi rooba boodaa. Mallattoowwan karaa torban kun keessaa isaanii keessatti Sanbata guyyaa torbaffaa alfaatiin fi Sanbata waggaa torbaffaa omeegaatiin kaa’amaniiru. Mallattoowwan karaa torban sun Sanbatoota lamaan gidduutti ibsaman yeroo guyyoota shanii adda baasuudhaan ni mul’isu; kana booddee yeroo guyyoota soddoma, yeroo guyyoota kudhanii, yeroo guyyoota shanii fi yeroo guyyoota torbaa.

When we then align Christ’s resurrection, we find a forty-day period where He instructed the disciples “face to face” and thereafter ascended. Then for ten days the disciples were in the upper room. Those ten days concluded at the Day of Pentecost, which is the Sunday law. This adds a forty-day period and ten-day period to the line of priests represented by Leviticus “23.”

Yeroo san kaʼumsa duʼaa kaafamuu Kiristoos wajjin walqabsifnu, inni guyyoota afurtamaaf bartoota isaa “fuula duratti” barsiisee, sana booddees ol baʼe akka argina. Achiis bartoonni guyyoota kudhaniif kutaa gubbaa keessa turan. Guyyoonni kudhan sun Guyyaa Pheenxeqoostee irratti xumuraman; kunis seera Dilbataa dha. Kun sarara lubootaa keessatti, kan Lewwoota “23” tiin bakka buufametti, yeroo guyyoota afurtamaa fi yeroo guyyoota kudhanii dabala.

From the resurrection there is five days to the end of unleavened bread, then thirty days to the trumpet warning, then five days to Christ’s ascension, then five days to judgment, then five days to Pentecost’s seven days of the latter rain.

Du’aa ka’iinsa keessaa hamma xumura buddeena raacitii hin qabneetti guyyoota shan jiru; sana booddee hamma akeekkachiisa malakataatti guyyoota soddoma jiru; itti aansuudhaan hamma ol-ba’iinsa Kiristoosiitti guyyoota shan jiru; sana booddee hamma murtiitti guyyoota shan jiru; sana booddee immoo hamma guyyoota torban rooba boodaa Pheexiqoosxeetti guyyoota shan jiru.

The beginning of the seven days of unleavened bread is followed the next day by the resurrection of first fruits. The resurrection occurs within the seven days of unleavened bread, and five days after the resurrection the period of unleavened bread ends.

Jalqabni torban maxinoonii buddeenaa keessaa guyyaan itti aanutti du’aa ka’uu firii jalqabaa dhufa. Du’aa ka’uun kun torban maxinoonii buddeenaa sana keessatti ni raawwatama; du’aa ka’uu sana booddee guyyaa shanitti immoo yeroon maxinoonii buddeenaa ni xumurama.

Thirty days after the end of unleavened bread the trumpets mark a warning.

بېخميرې ډوډۍ له پای ته رسېدو دېرش ورځې وروسته، ترمپېټونه د يو خبرداري نښه کوي.

Five days after the warning of the trumpets Christ ascended after teaching for forty days. His ascension marked the beginning of ten days in the upper room.

Xurumbaa afuriin ergaan boodas, akeekkachiisni malakataatiif kennames booda, Kiristoos guyyaa afurtama barsiisee erga xumuree ol baʼe. Ol baʼuun isaa kutaa ol aanaa keessatti guyyaa kudhan jalqabuun isaa mallatteesse.

Then five days after His ascension judgment is marked.

Ergasii isaa booddee guyyoota shanitti murtiin mallatteeffame.

Five days later the Sunday law of Pentecost opens the seven-day period of the latter rain.

Guyyaa shan booddee booda, seerri Dilbataa Phanxeqoostee yeroo roobaa boodaa guyyaa torbaa itti banamu ni jalqaba.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are those who follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. Elijah and Moses were slain on July 18, 2020. They were slain where also our Lord was crucified. Christ’s resurrection typified the resurrection of December 31, 2023. Before that date, in July of 2023, a voice in the wilderness began to sound a message represented as unleavened bread. Leaven represents error, hypocrisy and sin, and the message from the wilderness was unleavened. From December 31, 2023 through to the Sunday law, Leviticus “23” has designed a framework of the atonement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That framework aligns with Miller’s dream, Malachi three and Revelation nineteens’ windows of heaven. It aligns with the third and ninth hour in the sacred week from 27 to 34 AD.

Kumni dhibba afurtamaa fi afur kumni warra Hoolicha iddoo Inni deemutti hundatti isa duukaa buʼanidha. Eliyaasii fi Museen Adoolessa 18, 2020 irratti ajjeefaman.

> “‘By knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.’

> “‘Beekumsaadhaan kutaan hundi qabeenya qaalii fi nama gammachiisu hundumaan ni guutamu.’

> “For the mind and the soul, as well as for the body, it is God’s law that strength is acquired by effort. It is exercise that develops. In harmony with this law, God has provided in His word the means for mental and spiritual development.

> “Yaadaafi qaamaaf qofa utuu hin taʼin, sammuu fi lubbuudhaafis, humni carraaqqiidhaan argama jechuun seera Waaqayyoo ti. Kan guddina fidu sochii shaakalaati. Seera kanaan wal simachuun, Waaqayyo dubbii Isaa keessatti karaa guddina sammuu fi hafuuraa argamsiisu kenneera.

> “The Bible contains all the principles that men need to understand in order to be fitted either for this life or for the life to come. And these principles may be understood by all. No one with a spirit to appreciate its teaching can read a single passage from the Bible without gaining from it some helpful thought. But the most valuable teaching of the Bible is not to be gained by occasional or disconnected study. Its great system of truth is not so presented as to be discerned by the hasty or careless reader. Many of its treasures lie far beneath the surface, and can be obtained only by diligent research and continuous effort. The truths that go to make up the great whole must be searched out and gathered up, ‘here a little, and there a little.’ Isaiah 28:10.

> “Kitaabni Qulqulluun qajeelfamoota namoonni jireenya kanaaf yookaan jireenya dhufuuf qophaa’oo ta’uuf hubachuu qaban hunda of keessaa qaba. Qajeelfamoonni kunis hunduma isaanii ni hubatamu. Namni barsiisa isaa dinqisiifachuuf hafuura qabu kam iyyuu, Kitaaba Qulqulluu keessaa kutaa tokko qofa utuu dubbisee illee, yaada gargaaraa tokko irraa argachuu malee hin hafuu. Garuu barsiisni Kitaaba Qulqulluu keessaa caalaatti gatii guddaan qabu, qo’annaa yeroo tokkoo yookaan walitti hin hidhamneen hin argamu. Sirni isaa guddaan kan dhugaa akkasitti hin dhiyaatu; dubbistaan ariifataa yookaan of eeggannoo hin qabne akka isa hubatu hin taasisu. Kuusaan isaa keessaa baay’een isaanii fuula gubbaa jalaan fagoo ciisu; isaanis qorannoo jabaataa fi carraaqqii itti fufiinsa qabu qofaan argamuu danda’u. Dhugaan guutummaa guddicha sana ijaaru barbaadamee baafamuu fi walitti qabamuu qaba, ‘as xiqqoo, achis xiqqoo.’ Isaayaas 28:10.”

> “When thus searched out and brought together, they will be found to be perfectly fitted to one another. Each Gospel is a supplement to the others, every prophecy an explanation of another, every truth a development of some other truth. The types of the Jewish economy are made plain by the gospel. Every principle in the word of God has its place, every fact its bearing. And the complete structure, in design and execution, bears testimony to its Author. Such a structure no mind but that of the Infinite could conceive or fashion.

> “Yommuu akkasitti qoratamanii walitti qabaman, isaan walitti guutummaatti akka sirriitti walsimu ni argamu. Wangeelli tokkoon tokkoon isaa warra kaanitti dabalata; raajiin hundinuu raajii biraa ibsa; dhugaan hundinuu guddina dhugaa biraa ti. Fakkeenyonni sirna Yihudootaa kan Wangeelaan ifa ta’u. Seerri dubbii Waaqayyoo keessa jiru hundinuu iddoo isaa qaba; dhugaan jiru hundinuu hiika isaa qaba. Ijaarsi guutuunis, karoora isaa fi raawwii isaa keessatti, Barreessaa isaa irratti dhugaa ba’a. Ijaarsa akkasii yaaduu yookaan bocuu kan danda’u sammuu isa Daangaa Hin Qabne sana malee homtuu miti.

> “In searching out the various parts and studying their relationship, the highest faculties of the human mind are called into intense activity. No one can engage in such study without developing mental power.

> “ᱵᱤᱵᱤᱫ ᱦᱤᱸᱥᱥᱟ ᱠᱚ ᱯᱟᱲᱦᱟᱣ ᱟᱨ ᱚᱱᱟᱠᱚ ᱨᱮᱱᱟᱜ ᱥᱚᱢᱯᱚᱨᱠ ᱟᱫᱮᱨ ᱨᱮ, ᱢᱟᱱᱣᱟ ᱢᱚᱱᱮᱨ ᱥᱚᱵ ᱪᱮᱫᱟᱜ ᱠᱷᱚᱢᱚᱛᱟ ᱢᱟᱨᱟᱝ ᱠᱟᱹᱣᱲᱤ ᱥᱟᱞᱟᱜ ᱠᱟᱹᱢᱤ ᱨᱮ ᱟᱹᱭᱩᱵᱩᱜᱼᱟ। ᱡᱟᱦᱟᱸᱭ ᱦᱚᱲ ᱱᱚᱶᱟ ᱞᱮᱠᱟᱱ ᱟᱫᱮᱨ ᱨᱮ ᱥᱟᱹᱞᱟᱜ ᱛᱮ ᱵᱮᱵᱚᱦᱟᱨ ᱟᱞᱚᱢ ᱫᱟᱲᱮᱭᱟ; ᱚᱱᱟ ᱵᱤᱱ ᱵᱩᱫᱫᱷᱤ ᱨᱮᱭᱟᱜ ᱮᱱᱮᱨᱡᱤ ᱟᱨ ᱠᱷᱚᱢᱚᱛᱟ ᱵᱟᱹᱲᱛᱤ ᱵᱟᱝ ᱦᱚᱭᱚᱜᱼᱟ।”

> “And not alone in searching out truth and bringing it together does the mental value of Bible study consist. It consists also in the effort required to grasp the themes presented. The mind occupied with commonplace matters only, becomes dwarfed and enfeebled. If never tasked to comprehend grand and far-reaching truths, it after a time loses the power of growth. As a safeguard against this degeneracy, and a stimulus to development, nothing else can equal the study of God’s word. As a means of intellectual training, the Bible is more effective than any other book, or all other books combined. The greatness of its themes, the dignified simplicity of its utterances, the beauty of its imagery, quicken and uplift the thoughts as nothing else can. No other study can impart such mental power as does the effort to grasp the stupendous truths of revelation. The mind thus brought in contact with the thoughts of the Infinite cannot but expand and strengthen.

> “Dhugaa barbaaduu fi walitti qabuu qofa keessatti gatiin sammuu qorannoo Macaafa Qulqulluu hin argamu. Inni akkasumas tattaaffii mata-dureewwan dhiyaatan hubachuuf barbaachisu keessatti argama. Sammuun dhimmawwan idilee qofa irratti hojii irra oolu ni xinnaata, ni dadhaba. Yoo inni dhugaawwan guguddaa fi fagoo dhaqqaban hubachuuf gonkumaa hin hojii kennamne, yeroo booda humna guddachuu isaa ni dhaba. Manca’insa kana irraa eegumsa ta’uuf, akkasumas guddina kakaasuuf, wanti dubbii Waaqayyoo qo’achuu wajjin wal qixxaachuu danda’u hin jiru. Leenjii sammuu argamsiisuuf, Macaafni Qulqulluun kitaaba kamiin iyyuu, yookaan kitaabota biro hundumaa walitti makamaniin caalaa bu’a qabeessa dha. Guddinni mata-dureewwan isaa, salphinni ulfina qabu dubbii isaa, bareedinni fakkeenyota isaa, yaada akka wanti biraa tokko illee hin dandeenyeen ni dammaqsuu fi ni ol kaasa.

Sammuun akkasitti yaadota Kan Daangaa Hin Qabne waliin wal qunnamtii keessa galfame guddataa fi jabaataa malee ta’uu hin danda’u.”

> “And even greater is the power of the Bible in the development of the spiritual nature. Man, created for fellowship with God, can only in such fellowship find his real life and development. Created to find in God his highest joy, he can find in nothing else that which can quiet the cravings of the heart, can satisfy the hunger and thirst of the soul. He who with sincere and teachable spirit studies God’s word, seeking to comprehend its truths, will be brought in touch with its Author; and, except by his own choice, there is no limit to the possibilities of his development.

> “ከዚህም የላቀ በመንፈሳዊ ባሕርይ ዕድገት ውስጥ የመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ኃይል ነው። ሰው ከእግዚአብሔር ጋር ለኅብረት ተፈጥሮ ስለሆነ፣ እውነተኛ ሕይወቱንና ዕድገቱን ሊያገኝ የሚችለው በእንዲህ ያለ ኅብረት ውስጥ ብቻ ነው። ከፍተኛ ደስታውን በእግዚአብሔር ውስጥ ለማግኘት ተፈጥሮ ስለሆነ፣ የልብን መሻቶች ሊያጸግብ፣ የነፍስንም ረሃብና ጥማት ሊያረካ የሚችለውን ነገር በሌላ ምንም ውስጥ ሊያገኝ አይችልም። በቅንና ለመማር ዝግጁ በሆነ መንፈስ የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል የሚያጠና፣ እውነቶቹንም ለማስተዋል የሚፈልግ ሰው፣ ከደራሲው ጋር ወደ ግንኙነት ይመጣል፤ እናም በራሱ ምርጫ ብቻ ካልሆነ በቀር፣ ለዕድገቱ የሚቻለው ነገር ወሰን የለውም።”

> “In its wide range of style and subjects the Bible has something to interest every mind and appeal to every heart. In its pages are found history the most ancient; biography the truest to life; principles of government for the control of the state, for the regulation of the household—principles that human wisdom has never equaled. It contains philosophy the most profound, poetry the sweetest and the most sublime, the most impassioned and the most pathetic. Immeasurably superior in value to the productions of any human author are the Bible writings, even when thus considered; but of infinitely wider scope, of infinitely greater value, are they when viewed in their relation to the grand central thought. Viewed in the light of this thought, every topic has a new significance. In the most simply stated truths are involved principles that are as high as heaven and that compass eternity.

> “The central theme of the Bible, the theme about which every other in the whole book clusters, is the redemption plan, the restoration in the human soul of the image of God. From the first intimation of hope in the sentence pronounced in Eden to that last glorious promise of the Revelation, ‘They shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads’ (Revelation 22:4), the burden of every book and every passage of the Bible is the unfolding of this wondrous theme,—man’s uplifting,—the power of God, ‘which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.’ 1 Corinthians 15:57.

> “Mata-dureen giddu-galeessaa Macaafa Qulqulluu, mata-duree inni kanneen biroo hundi guutummaa macaafichaa keessatti itti gurmaa’an, karoora furuu, jechuunis lubbuu namaa keessatti fakkii Waaqayyoo deebisanii dhaabuu dha.

> “He who grasps this thought has before him an infinite field for study. He has the key that will unlock to him the whole treasure house of God’s word.

> “Namni yaada kana hubatu, inni fuuldura isaatti lafa qorannaa daangaa hin qabne qaba. Inni furtuu isaaf mana kuusaa mootummaa guutuu dubbii Waaqayyoo banu qaba.”

> “The science of redemption is the science of all sciences; the science that is the study of the angels and of all the intelligences of the unfallen worlds; the science that engages the attention of our Lord and Saviour; the science that enters into the purpose brooded in the mind of the Infinite—‘kept in silence through times eternal’ (Romans 16:25, R.V.); the science that will be the study of God’s redeemed throughout endless ages. This is the highest study in which it is possible for man to engage. As no other study can, it will quicken the mind and uplift the soul.

> “Fayyina furuu isa hundumaa keessaa fayyinaati; fayyina saayinsii maleekotaa fi sammuuwwan addunyaa kufaatii hin mudanne hundumaa qoratan; fayyina Gooftaa keenya fi Fayyisaa keenya xiyyeeffannaa isaatti hirmaachisu; fayyina kaayyoo Sammuu Daangaa Hin Qabne keessatti kuufamee ture keessa seenu—‘bara baraa hunda keessatti cal’ifamee eegame’ (Romans 16:25, R.V.); fayyina warri furaman Waaqayyoo bara dhuma hin qabne hundumaa keessatti qoratan.

> “‘The excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.’ ‘The words that I speak unto you,’ said Jesus, ‘they are spirit, and they are life.’ ‘This is life eternal, that they should know Thee the only true God, and Him whom Thou didst send.’ Ecclesiastes 7:12; John 6:63; 17:3, R.V.

> “‘Beekumsi beekumsaa inni guddaan, ogummaan warra isa qaban jireenya isaaniif kenna.’ ‘Dubbiin ani isinitti dubbadhu,’ jechuun Yesuus, ‘isaan hafuura, isaanis jireenya.’ ‘Jireenyi bara baraa kunoo kana, akka isaan Si Waaqa dhugaa tokkicha beekan, isa ati erges immoo akka beekan.’ Lallaba 7:12; Yohannis 6:63; 17:3, R.V.”

> “The creative energy that called the worlds into existence is in the word of God. This word imparts power; it begets life. Every command is a promise; accepted by the will, received into the soul, it brings with it the life of the Infinite One. It transforms the nature and re-creates the soul in the image of God.

> “Humni kalaqame uumama gara jiruutti waame sun dubbii Waaqayyoo keessa jira. Dubbiin kun humna kenna; jireenya dhalcha. Ajajni hundinuu abdii dha; yoo fedhaan fudhatamee, lubbuutti simatame, inni ofii isaa wajjin jireenya Isa Daangaa Hin Qabne sana fidee dhufa. Inni amala namaa ni geeddara; lubbuu illee bifa Waaqayyootiin irra deebi’ee ni uuma.”

> “The life thus imparted is in like manner sustained. ‘By every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God’ (Matthew 4:4) shall man live.

> “Jireenyi akkuma kanaan kenname sunis akkuma sanaan ni deggarama. ‘Namni dubbii afaan Waaqayyoo keessaa ba’u hundumaan ni jiraata’ (Maatewos 4:4).”

> “The mind, the soul, is built up by that upon which it feeds; and it rests with us to determine upon what it shall be fed. It is within the power of everyone to choose the topics that shall occupy the thoughts and shape the character. Of every human being privileged with access to the Scriptures, God says, ‘I have written to him the great things of My law.’ ‘Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.’ Hosea 8:12; Jeremiah 33:3.

> “Sammuun, lubbuun, waan isheen of irra jiraattuun ijaaramti; akkasumas maal irratti akka sooramtus murteessuun nu irratti hirkata. Dhimmoota yaada keenya qabatanii amala bocan filachuuf humni nama hundumaa keessa jira.

> “With the word of God in his hands, every human being, wherever his lot in life may be cast, may have such companionship as he shall choose. In its pages he may hold converse with the noblest and best of the human race, and may listen to the voice of the Eternal as He speaks with men. As he studies and meditates upon the themes into which ‘the angels desire to look’ (1 Peter 1:12), he may have their companionship. He may follow the steps of the heavenly Teacher, and listen to His words as when He taught on mountain and plain and sea. He may dwell in this world in the atmosphere of heaven, imparting to earth’s sorrowing and tempted ones thoughts of hope and longings for holiness; himself coming closer and still closer into fellowship with the Unseen; like him of old who walked with God, drawing nearer and nearer the threshold of the eternal world, until the portals shall open, and he shall enter there. He will find himself no stranger. The voices that will greet him are the voices of the holy ones, who, unseen, were on earth his companions—voices that here he learned to distinguish and to love. He who through the word of God has lived in fellowship with heaven, will find himself at home in heaven’s companionship.” Education, 123–127.
