The final controversy I wish to bring together with the other historical arguments over the symbol of Rome within Advent history is the book of Joel. That controversy took place after September 11, 2001, and without considering the circumstances of that period a few subtle points might very well be missed. To place those circumstances into context requires a consideration of the Millerite history. On August 11, 1840 the time prophecy of Revelation chapter nine, verse fifteen was fulfilled.

መጨረሻ ክርክር ኣነ ምስ ካልኦት ታሪኻዊ ምርግጋጻት ብዛዕባ ምልክት ሮሜ ውሽጢ ታሪኽ ኣድቨንቲስት ከም ሓደ ክሳብ ኣቕርቦ ዝደለኹ መጽሓፍ ዮኤል እዩ። እቲ ክርክር እቲ ድሕሪ 11 መስከረም 2001 ተኻይዱ፣ ናይ እቲ ዘመን ኩነታት እንተዘይተገምጊሙ ግን ሓያሎ ረቂቕ ነጥብታት ብርግጽ ክሕለፉ ይኽእሉ እዮም። ነቲ ኩነታት ናብ ትክክለኛ ኣውድ ምእታው ታሪኽ ሚለራውያን ምግምጋም ይጠልብ። ብ11 ነሓሰ 1840 ትንቢት ጊዜ ናይ ራእይ ምዕራፍ ዘጠኝ፣ ቍጽሪ ዐሰርተ ሓሙሽተ ተፈጺሙ እዩ።

> And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. Revelation 9:15.

> Ergasoonni afran sunis gad dhiifaman; isaan sa’aatii tokkoof, guyyaa tokkoof, ji’a tokkoof, fi waggaa tokkoof, kutaa sadaffaa namootaa ajjeesuuf qophaa’anii turan. Mul’ata Yohaannis 9:15.

The verse identifies the “hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,” as equating to three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days. The four angels represented when Islam rose to power and brought warfare against Rome, beginning on July 27, 1449. The starting point was determined by employing the ending point of another time prophecy of one hundred and fifty years. The first time prophecy of one hundred and fifty years was set forth in the history of the first woe, which is also the fifth trumpet of Revelation chapter nine. When the one-hundred-and-fifty-year prophecy concluded on July 27, 1449, the time prophecy we are now considering began, and three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days later the prophecy ended on August 11, 1840.

Aayatichi “sa’aatii, guyyaa tokkoo, ji’a tokkoo fi waggaa tokkoo” jechuun waggoota dhibba sadii sagaltamii tokkoo fi guyyoota kudha shanitti akka walqixxaatu ni ibsa. Maleekota afran kun yeroo Islaamni humna argatee mootummaa Roomaa irratti waraana fide bakka bu’u turan; kunis Adoolessa 27, 1449 irraa jalqabe. Bakkichi jalqabaa xumura raajii yeroo biraa kan waggoota dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaa fayyadamuudhaan murtaa’e. Raajiin yeroo jalqabaa kan waggoota dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaa seenaa wayyoo isa jalqabaa keessatti ibsame; kunis jechuun xurumbaa shanaffaa Mul’ata boqonnaa sagal keessaa dha. Yommuu raajiin waggoota dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaa Adoolessa 27, 1449 irratti xumurame, raajiin yeroo amma ilaallu sun jalqabe; waggoota dhibba sadii sagaltamii tokkoo fi guyyoota kudha shan booddees raajiin sun Hagayya 11, 1840 irratti xumurame.

William Miller had understood the powers of Revelation nine to represent Islam, and prior to the date of August 11, 1840, a Millerite named Josiah Litch set forth a prediction based upon the prophecy identifying that in 1840, the Ottoman Supremacy would cease. Ten days before August 11, 1840, Litch fine-tuned and updated his prediction to identify not simply the year the prophecy would be fulfilled, but the very year, day and month. Sister White comments on the effect of Litch’s prediction upon the religious world of the Millerites when the event was fulfilled.

> “In the year 1840 another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to be overthrown . . . on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And this, I believe, will be found to be the case.’

> “በ1840 ዓመት ሌላ አስደናቂ የትንቢት ፍጻሜ ሰፊ ፍላጎት አነሳ። ከዚያ ሁለት ዓመት በፊት፣ የሁለተኛውን ምጽአት ከሚሰብኩ መሪ አገልጋዮች አንዱ የነበረው ዮስያስ ሊች፣ የኦቶማን መንግሥት ውድቀት እንደሚደርስ የሚተነብይ የራእይ 9 ትርጓሜ प्रकाशित አደረገ። በእርሱ ስሌት መሠረት፣ ይህ ኃይል... በ1840 ኦገስት 11 ቀን ይገለበጣል፤ በዚያ ጊዜ በቆስጠንጢኖስ ውስጥ ያለው የኦቶማን ኃይል እንደሚሰበር ሊጠበቅ ይችላል። እኔም ይህ እንዲሁ መሆኑ እንደሚገኝ አምናለሁ።”

> “At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

> “የተወሰነው ጊዜ በደረሰ ጊዜ፣ ቱርክ በአምባሳደሮቿ አማካይነት የአውሮፓ ተባባሪ ኃያላንን ጥበቃ ተቀበለች፣ እንዲሁም ራሷን በክርስቲያን ሕዝቦች ቁጥጥር ሥር አስገባች። ክስተቱ ትንቢቱን በትክክል ፈጽሞ አሟላው። ይህ በታወቀ ጊዜ፣ እጅግ ብዙ ሰዎች ሚለርና ባልደረቦቹ የተቀበሉት የትንቢት ትርጓሜ መርሆዎች ትክክል መሆናቸውን ተረጋገጡ፣ እናም ለአድቬንት እንቅስቃሴ ድንቅ መነሳሳት ተሰጠው። የተማሩና የክብር ስፍራ ያላቸው ሰዎች ከሚለር ጋር ተባብረው፣ ሐሳቡን በመስበክና በማተም ላይ ተሳተፉ፤ ከ1840 እስከ 1844ም ሥራው በፍጥነት ተስፋፋ።” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

Her endorsement of this event has through the years been attacked repeatedly through a variety of ways by Laodicean Seventh-day Adventists. As with the seven times and “the daily”, to attack this truth is to rejected the foundations as represented upon the two sacred tables, and also the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy. The reason Satan has worked to destroy confidence in this history is multifaceted.

Litch’s prediction employed “the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller.” Miller was given insight to the element of prophetic time, and any who doubt that Miller’s message was based upon prophetic time, only needs to review the 1843 and 1850 pioneer charts to confirm that this was true. Before August 11, 1840, those opposing Miller’s prediction of the return of Christ would argue that prophetic time could not be employed to understand when Christ would return. They often used the Bible’s statement about not knowing the day nor hour, to resist his message and work.

> But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matthew 24:36–40.

> ስለዚያ ቀንና ሰዓት ግን ከአባቴ ብቻ በቀር ማንም አያውቅም፤ በሰማይ ያሉ መላእክት እንኳ አያውቁትም። ነገር ግን የኖኅ ዘመን እንደ ነበረ የሰው ልጅ መምጣት ደግሞ እንዲሁ ይሆናል። ከጥፋት ውኃው በፊት ባሉት ቀኖች ኖኅ ወደ መርከቡ እስከ ገባበት ቀን ድረስ ሰዎች ይበሉ ይጠጡ ነበር፥ ያገቡም ነበር፥ ለጋብቻም ይሰጡ ነበር፤ ጥፋት ውኃውም መጥቶ ሁሉን እስኪወስዳቸው ድረስ አላወቁም፤ የሰው ልጅ መምጣት ደግሞ እንዲሁ ይሆናል። በዚያን ጊዜ ሁለት ሰዎች በእርሻ ውስጥ ይሆናሉ፤ አንዱ ይወሰዳል ሌላውም ይቀራል። ማቴዎስ 24፥36–40።

In spite of this passage the Millerites found too much biblical evidence to support their predictions and carried on and operated upon a principle later identified by Sister White.

> “‘No man knoweth the day nor the hour’ was the argument most often brought forward by rejecters of the advent faith. The scripture is: ‘Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.’ Matthew 24:36. A clear and harmonious explanation of this text was given by those who were looking for the Lord, and the wrong use made of it by their opponents was clearly shown. The words were spoken by Christ in that memorable conversation with His disciples upon Olivet after He had for the last time departed from the temple. The disciples had asked the question: ‘What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?’ Jesus gave them signs, and said: ‘When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.’ Verses 3, 33. One saying of the Saviour must not be made to destroy another. Though no man knoweth the day nor the hour of His coming, we are instructed and required to know when it is near. We are further taught that to disregard His warning, and refuse or neglect to know when His advent is near, will be as fatal for us as it was for those who lived in the days of Noah not to know when the flood was coming. And the parable in the same chapter, contrasting the faithful and the unfaithful servant, and giving the doom of him who said in his heart, ‘My Lord delayeth His coming,’ shows in what light Christ will regard and reward those whom He finds watching, and teaching His coming, and those denying it. ‘Watch therefore,’ He says. ‘Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when He cometh shall find so doing.’ Verses 42, 46. ‘If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.’ Revelation 3:3.” The Great Controversy, 370.

> “‘Namni tokko guyyaa yookaan saʼaatii sana hin beeku’ jechuun falmii warri amantii dhufaatii Gooftaa didan irra caalaan dhiyeeffatan ture. Caaffanni Qulqullaaʼoonis akkana jedhu: ‘Guyyaa sanaa fi saʼaatii sana namni tokko iyyuu hin beeku; ergamoonni samii illee hin beekan; Abbaan koo qofa beeka.’ Maatewos 24:36.

When Litch’s prediction was fulfilled men “of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” Miller’s message was empowered when his rules of prophetic interpretation were confirmed as valid rules. In response to the fulfillment of the time prophecy, not only was Miller’s rule confirmed, and many then joined the Millerite movement, but just as prophetically significant was that it was the primary rule of Miller’s rules that had been confirmed. Also, the fact that the confirmation was accomplished by the application of a prophecy of the second of three woes, which are also the fifth, sixth and seventh trumpet.

Litch ໄດ້ທຳນາຍໄວ້ ແລະເມື່ອຄຳທຳນາຍນັ້ນໄດ້ສຳເລັດ ບັນດາຄົນ “ທີ່ມີຄວາມຮູ້ ແລະມີຖານະ ໄດ້ຮ່ວມກັບ Miller ທັງໃນການເທດສະໜາ ແລະໃນການພິມເຜີຍແຜ່ທັດສະນະຂອງລາວ, ແລະຕັ້ງແຕ່ 1840 ຫາ 1844 ພະລະກິດນັ້ນໄດ້ຂະຫຍາຍອອກຢ່າງວ່ອງໄວ.” ຂ່າວສານຂອງ Miller ໄດ້ຮັບອຳນາດເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນ ເມື່ອກົດເກນຂອງລາວກ່ຽວກັບການຕີຄວາມຄຳພະຍາກອນໄດ້ຮັບການຢືນຢັນວ່າເປັນກົດເກນທີ່ຖືກຕ້ອງ. ເພາະການສຳເລັດຂອງຄຳພະຍາກອນເວລານັ້ນ ບໍ່ພຽງແຕ່ກົດເກນຂອງ Miller ໄດ້ຮັບການຢືນຢັນ ແລະຈາກນັ້ນຫຼາຍຄົນໄດ້ເຂົ້າຮ່ວມຂະບວນການ Millerite ເທົ່ານັ້ນ, ແຕ່ທີ່ມີນັຍສຳຄັນທາງຄຳພະຍາກອນຢ່າງຍິ່ງກໍຄື ກົດເກນຫຼັກຂອງບັນດາກົດເກນຂອງ Miller ນັ້ນເອງທີ່ໄດ້ຮັບການຢືນຢັນ. ນອກຈາກນັ້ນ ຂໍ້ເທັດຈິງທີ່ວ່າການຢືນຢັນນັ້ນໄດ້ສຳເລັດລົງໂດຍການນຳໃຊ້ຄຳພະຍາກອນກ່ຽວກັບວິບັດຄັ້ງທີສອງໃນສາມວິບັດ, ຊຶ່ງກໍແມ່ນແກທີຫ້າ ແກທີຫົກ ແລະແກທີເຈັດ ນັ້ນດ້ວຍ.

The empowerment of Miller’s message became one of the most significant waymarks of the Millerite reform movement. It had been typified by Jesus’ baptism. It marked that the final testing process of the former covenant people (the Protestants) had begun. It became the focus of Satan’s attack against the overall Millerite movement and message.

> “Any question that Satan can arouse in the mind to create doubt in regard to the grand history of the past travels of the people of God will please his satanic majesty and is an offense to God. The tidings of the Lord’s soon coming in power and great glory to our world is truth, and in 1840 many voices were raised in its proclamation.” Manuscript Releases, volume 9, 134.

On September 11, 2001 the third woe arrived into prophetic history. The event confirmed the primary rule of prophetic interpretation adopted by the movement of the third angel that began in 1989. The first truth opened up to the messenger of that reform movement was opened up in 1989, and it was not the last six verses of Daniel eleven. It was the truth that all the reform movements run parallel to each other and are to be brought together line upon line in order to identify the characteristics of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand which is the movement of the third angel. The first public presentation I ever gave was at a camp meeting in 1994, or perhaps 1995. The presentation was not on the last six verses of Daniel eleven, it was on the reform lines running parallel to each other.

When the prophecy of Islam of the third woe was fulfilled on September 11, 2001, it paralleled August 11, 1840. In 1840 a prophecy of the first and second woes confirmed the message of the Millerites, and on September 11, 2001 a prophecy of the third woe confirmed the message of Future for America. The recognition of that fact brought a multitude into the movement, where it had previously been primarily one individual. The message of the movement and the messenger then became under attack, just as the history of 1840 had become the focus of satanic attack through the decades that followed.

Those who joined the movement of Future for America adopted the rules of prophetic interpretation assembled by the messenger of that history. One of those rules, perhaps the most significant of those rules was and is a triple application of prophecy. The messenger had come to understand that certain prophetic truths were illustrated upon three specific fulfillments. Believing that the Millerite history was repeated in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand it was seen that August 11, 1840 typified September 11, 2001, and that the other sacred reform lines also possessed that very same waymark.

Warri kan sochii Future for America dhaqna kana seeraalee hiika raajii ergamaan seenaa sanaan walitti qabaman fudhatan. Seerota sana keessaa inni tokko, tarii isa hunda caalaa barbaachisaan, yeroo sana akkuma ture amma illee raajii irratti hojii irra oolmaa dachaa sadii qabaachuu isaati. Ergamaan sun dhugaan raajii muraasni guutamuu addaa sadii irratti fakkeeffamee akka ibsamu hubachuuf dhufe ture. Seenaa Millerite seenaa dhibba afurtamii afur kuma tokkoo keessatti irra deebi’amee akka mul’atu amanamuudhaan, Adoolessa 11, 1840 Fulbaana 11, 2001 fakkeessuu isaa ni mul’ate; akkasumas sararoonni haaromsa qulqulluun biroonis mallattoo karaa sanaa isauma san akka qaban hubatame.

The evidence of the repetition of every sacred reform line in the line of the third angel was then opened up by the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was seen that just as the Millerite history fulfilled the parable of the ten virgins to the very letter, so too did the history of Future for America.

ናይ እያንዳንዱ ቅዱስ መስመር ምሕዳስ ኣብ መስመር ናይ ሳልሳይ መልኣኽ እንደገና ከም ዝደገመ ዘሎ ምስክርነት ብኣንበሳ ነገድ ይሁዳ እቲ ተኸፊቱ። ከምቲ ታሪኽ ሚለራውያን ምሳሌ ናይ ዓሰርተ ደናግል ብፍጹም እቲ ፊደል ከም ዝፈጸመ፣ ከምኡውን ታሪኽ ናይ Future for America እውን ከምኡ እዩ ዝፈጸመ።

> “I am often referred to the parable of the ten virgins, five of whom were wise, and five foolish. This parable has been and will be fulfilled to the very letter, for it has a special application to this time, and, like the third angel’s message, has been fulfilled and will continue to be present truth till the close of time.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

> “Muudamaeewwan kudhan keessaa shan ogeyyii, shan immoo gowwoota akka turan ibsu sanaa gara fakkeenyaatti yeroo baay’ee na qajeelchu. Fakkeenyi kun qubee isaatiin guutummaatti raawwatameera, ammas ni raawwatama; yeroo kanaaf hojii addaa qabaatii; akkuma ergaa ergamaa sadaffaatti, raawwatameera, akkasumas hanga xumura yerooatti dhugaa yeroo ammaa taʼee jiraachuus isaa itti fufa.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

The seven thunders of Revelation ten were recognized to identify that the experience of the Millerites from August 11, 1840 to October 22, 1844, and also the history of September 11, 2001 unto the soon-coming Sunday law.

Waraanni torban Mul’ata boqonnaa kudhanii keessatti jiran, muuxannoo warra Miilarii Adoolessa 11, 1840 irraa jalqabee hanga Onkoloolessa 22, 1844tti ture, akkasumas seenaa Fulbaana 11, 2001 irraa eegalee hanga seera Dilbataa dhufuuf jiru sanaatti adda baasuuf beekamanii turan.

> “The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a delineation of events which would transpire under the first and second angels’ messages. . . .

> “Bara ifa addaa Yohaannisitti kennamee, kan torban guurrootiin ibsame, ibsa guutuu taʼe kan taateewwan ergaa ergamoota jalqabaa fi lammaffaa jalatti raawwataman ture....”

> “After these seven thunders uttered their voices, the injunction comes to John as to Daniel in regard to the little book: ‘Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered.’ These relate to future events which will be disclosed in their order.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.

> “Ersaayii mommii torbanii kun sagalee isaanii erga dubbatan booddee, akkuma waa’ee kitaaba xinnaa sana ilaalchisee Daani’eeliif ta’e, Yohaannisitti ajajni ni dhufa: ‘Wanta mommiileen torban dubbatan sana cufi.’ Kunis dhacoota gara fuulduraa tartiiba isaanii keessatti ifa baafaman ilaallata.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.

It was recognized that Sister White directly said that the movement of the third angel runs parallel with the movement of the first and second angels.

Sister White sagaleen sochii ergamaan sadaffaa sochiin ergamaa tokkoffaafi lammaffaa wajjin wal cina akka deemu ifatti ibsiteera.

> “God has given the messages of Revelation 14 their place in the line of prophecy, and their work is not to cease till the close of this earth’s history. The first and second angel’s messages are still truth for this time, and are to run parallel with this which follows. The third angel proclaims his warning with a loud voice. ‘After these things,’ said John, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory.’ In this illumination, the light of all the three messages is combined.” The 1888 Materials, 803, 804.

> “Waaqayyo ergaawwan Mul’ata 14 iddoo isaanii sarara raajii keessatti kenneera; hojii isaanii immoo hamma xumura seenaa lafaa kanaatti dhaabachuu hin qabu. Ergaan ergamaa isa jalqabaa fi isa lammaffaa yeroo kanaaf amma iyyuu dhugaa dha; innis isa kana itti aanu wajjin wal cina akka adeemu qabu. Ergamaan sadaffaan akeekkachiisa isaa sagalee guddaadhaan labsa. ‘Kana booddee,’ jedhe Yohaannis, ‘ergamaa biraa tokko samii irraa bu’aa arge; inni humna guddaa qaba ture, laftis ulfina isaatiin ifte.’ Ifa kana keessatti, ifni ergaawwan sadan isaanii hundumaa walitti makamee jira.” The 1888 Materials, 803, 804.

The movement of the first and second angels runs parallel with the movement of the third angel. The prophecy that empowered the movement of the first and second angel, was empowered by a fulfillment of a time prophecy of the first and second woe, and the empowerment of the movement of the third angel was empowered by a fulfillment of a prophecy of the third woe.

sochiin ergamaa fi ergamaan lammaffaa walcina deema. Raajii sochii ergamaa jalqabaa fi lammaffaa humneesse, raawwatamuu raajii yeroo wayyoo jalqabaa fi wayyoo lammaffaatiin humna argate; humneessamuun sochii ergamaa sadaffaa immoo raawwatamuu raajii wayyoo sadaffaatiin humna argate.

As with August 11, 1840, when the message of Future for America was confirmed “multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted” by Future for America, and “a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement.” “Men of learning and position united” with Future for America, “both in preaching and in publishing” the prophetic message of Future for America. The specific rule of Future for America which clearly confirmed September 11, 2001 as a fulfillment of prophecy was a “triple application of prophecy.”

Akkuma Hagayya 11, 1840tti, yeroo ergaan Future for America mirkanaa’e, “namoonni hedduun sirrummaa qajeelfamoota hiikkaa raajii kan Future for America fudhate irratti amanan,” akkasumas “sochiin dhufaatii humna dinqisiisaa argate.” “Namoonni barumsa qabanii fi sadarkaa ol’aanaa qaban” Future for America wajjin “lallabuu fi maxxansuu keessatti illee tokkooman,” ergaa raajii Future for America labsuuf. Seerri addaa Future for America kan ifatti Fulbaana 11, 2001 akka raajii raawwatameetti mirkaneesse, “raajii irratti hojii irra oolmaa sadii” ture.

When we accept the foundational view of Islam of the first and second woes, as represented on both sacred charts, in conjunction with the written testimony of those who taught the message, we recognize specific prophetic characteristics associated with the first woe, and the second woe. The Bible repeatedly teaches, in a variety of ways, that truth is established upon the testimony of two. The prophetic characteristics of the first woe, combined with the prophetic characteristics of the second woe, establishes the prophetic characteristics of the third woe. The triple application of Islam is so specific in identifying the arrival of the third woe on September 11, 2001, that it is impossible not to see, though most choose to close their eyes to the evidence.

Yommuu ilaalcha bu’uuraa Islaamaa ee balaa isa duraa fi balaa isa lammaffaa, akkuma chaartota qulqulluu lamaan irratti ibsameetti, dhugaa-baatuu barreeffamaa isaanii warra ergaa sana barsiisan wajjin wal qabsiifnee fudhannu, amaloota raajii addaa balaa isa duraa wajjin wal qabatan, akkasumas balaa isa lammaffaa wajjin wal qabatan ni hubanna. Macaafni Qulqulluun irra deddeebiin, karaa garaa garaatiin, dhugaan dhugaa-baatuu nama lamaatiin akka hundeeffamu ni barsiisa. Amaloonni raajii balaa isa duraa, amaloota raajii balaa isa lammaffaa wajjin walitti makamuudhaan, amaloota raajii balaa isa sadaffaa ni hundeessu. Itti hojii irra oolmaan Islaamaa sadarkaa sadiin balaa isa sadaffaa Fulbaana 11, 2001 irratti dhufuu isaa adda baasu keessatti baay’ee ifa ta’ee waan jiruuf, ijoon arguuf dadhabuun hin danda’amu; haa ta’u malee baay’een isaanii ragaa sanaaf ija isaanii cufuu filatu.

The triple application of prophecy firmly established that the third woe arrived on September 11, 2001. It was then seen that the rule had been directly associated with the second angel’s message, which in the time of the Millerites and also in the time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the period when the Holy Spirit is poured out. Both histories are a fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, and in the parable the message of the Midnight Cry is where the distinction between the wise and foolish is manifested, and it is where the message of the second angel is empowered.

Raawwii raajii si’a sadiin hojii irra oolfamuun, balaa sadaffaan Fulbaana 11, 2001 irratti akka dhufe cimsee hundeesse. Sana booda, seerichi ergaa ergamaa lammaffaatiin kallattiidhaan walitti hidhata qabaachuun isaa mul’ate; yeroo Millerootaatti akkasumas yeroo dhibba afurtamii afur kumaatti, kun yeroo Hafuuri Qulqulluun itti dhangalaafamu dha. Seenaawwan lamaan isaanii iyyuu fakkeenya dubartoota kudhaniitiin guutama dha; fakkeenya sana keessattis, ergaan Iyya Halkanii bakka adda jechuun warri ogeeyyii fi wallaalonni itti mul’atanidha, akkasumas bakka ergaan ergamaa lammaffaa humna itti argatudha.

> “Near the close of the second angel’s message, I saw a great light from heaven shining upon the people of God. The rays of this light seemed bright as the sun. And I heard the voices of angels crying, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!’

> “Ergaa ergaa ergamaa lammaffaatti, ani ifa guddaa samii irraa dhufee saba Waaqayyoo irratti ifaa jiru arge. Balaqqeessi ifa sanaa akka aduu ifa guddaa qabuutti natti mul’ate. Sagalee ergamootaas akkana jechuun iyyan nan dhaga’e: ‘Kunoo, Misirrichi dhufa; isa simachuuf ba’aatii!’”

> “This was the midnight cry, which was to give power to the second angel’s message. Angels were sent from heaven to arouse the discouraged saints and prepare them for the great work before them. The most talented men were not the first to receive this message. Angels were sent to the humble, devoted ones, and constrained them to raise the cry, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!’” Early Writings, 238.

> “Kun jechuun iyya halkan walakkaa ture; inni ergaa ergamaa lammaffaatiif humna kennuuf ture. Ergamaan mootummaa samii irraa ergamanii qulqulloota abdii kutatan dammaqsuu fi hojii guddaa fuuldura isaanii jiruuf isaan qopheessuuf dhufan. Namoonni dandeettii guddaa qaban ergaa kana simachuuf warra jalqabaa hin turre. Ergamaan gara warra gad of qabanii fi of kennaniitti ergamanii, akkas jedhanii iyya akka ol kaasaniif isaan dirqisiisan, ‘Kunoo, Misirrichi dhufeera; isa simachuuf baʼaa!’” Early Writings, 238.

In the history of the first and second angels, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is accomplished by the Midnight Cry joining the second angels’ message. This is repeated in the history of the third angel.

Macaafa ergamoota jalqabaa fi lammaffaa keessatti, dhangala’uun Hafuura Qulqulluu, iyya halkanii walakkaa ergaa ergamaa lammaffaatti makamuudhaan raawwatama. Kunis seenaa ergamaa sadaffaa keessatti irra deebi’amee mul’ata.

> “Angels were sent to aid the mighty angel from heaven, and I heard voices which seemed to sound everywhere, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. This message seemed to be an addition to the third message, and joined it, as the midnight cry joined the second angel’s message in 1844. The glory of God rested upon the patient, waiting saints, and they fearlessly gave the last solemn warning, proclaiming the fall of Babylon, and calling upon God’s people to come out of her; that they might escape her fearful doom.” Spiritual Gifts, volume 1, 195.

> “Ergamoonni ergamaa jabaa samii irraa dhufe gargaaruuf ergame; ani immoo sagalee bakka hundatti dhagaʼamu fakkaatu nan dhagaʼe, ‘Yaa saba koo, cubbuu ishee keessatti hirmaattota akka hin taaneef, dhaʼichaawwan ishee irraas akka hin fudhanneef, ishee keessaa baʼaa; cubbuun ishee gara samii gaʼeeraatii, Waaqayyos jalʼina ishee yaadateera.’ Ergaan kun ergaa sadaffaatti dabala taʼee itti dabalame fakkaate; akkuma iyya halkan walakkaa bara 1844 keessatti ergaa ergamaa lammaffaatti dabalamee isa wajjin walqabate sana. Ulfinni Waaqayyoo qulqulloota obsa qaban, eeggachaa turan irra buʼe; isaanis sodaa malee akeekkachiisa isa dhumaa, ulfaataa taʼe kennan; kufaatii Baabilon labsaa, sabni Waaqayyoo ishee keessaa akka baʼan waamaa turan; kunis akka isaan badiisa ishee sodaachisaa sana jalaa miliqanif.” Spiritual Gifts, volume 1, 195.

In terms of a triple application of prophecy, the second angel’s message represents a triple application of prophecy, for the message in either history is Babylon twice fallen.

Raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii keessatti, ergaan ergamaa lammaffaa raajii raajii sadii qaba jedhamee mul’ata; sababiin isaas, ergaan seenaa kamiyyuu keessatti, “Baabilon yeroo lama kufte” kan jedhu dha.

> And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Revelation 14:8.

> Ergasii biraan inni kan biraan, “Baabilon, magaalaan guddoon sun kufteerti, kufteerti; isheen warraaqsa sagaagalummaa ishee irraa dhufu kan akka wayinii taʼe akka saboonni hundinuu dhugan taasifteerti” jedhee dubbate. Mul’ata Yohaannis 14:8.

The mighty angel of Revelation ten descended with the fulfillment of a prophecy of the first and second woe on August 11, 1840, and in so doing it typified the descent of the mighty angel of Revelation chapter eighteen on September 11, 2001. That angel who lightens the earth with His glory then made a proclamation.

Waaqni humna qabeessi Mul’ata boqonnaa kudhanii, guutamuu raajii wayyoo isa jalqabaa fi isa lammaffaa wajjin, Hagayya 11, 1840 irratti gad bu’e; akkas gochuudhaanis, gad bu’uu Waaqaa humna qabeessa Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha saddeettummaa irratti Fulbaana 11, 2001 tiif fakkeenya ta’e. Ergamaan sun inni ulfina Isaa tiin lafa ibsu sana booddee labsii tokko labse.

> And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Revelation 18:2.

> Inni sagalee guddaadhaan sagalee jabaan iyye, “Baabilon guddoon kufteerti, kufteerti; iddoo jireenyaa hafuurota hamaa taateerti, mana hidhaa hafuura xuraa'aa hundumaa fi goolii allaattii xuraa'aa fi jibbamaa hundumaa taateerti.” Mul’ata Yohaannis 18:2.

The message of the second angel of chapter fourteen, and of the mighty angel of chapter eighteen is identifying that Babylon has twice fallen, and the message is identifying Babylon of the last days. It identifies Babylon of the last days, for the two times Babylon previously fell in the time of Nimrod, and in the time of Nebuchadnezzar unto Belshazzar establishes the prophetic characteristics of the fall of the whore of Revelation seventeen who has written on her forehead, “Babylon the Great.” To identify that fall of Babylon in the last days requires the two witnesses of the two previous falls of Babylon, for the message of the last days is Babylon is fallen, is fallen. When the mighty angel descended when the great buildings of New York City were brought down by a touch of God, by His proclamation He identifies the rule of a triple application of prophecy. The triple application of prophecy that established September 11, 2001 as a fulfillment of God’s prophetic word was the triple application of the three woes.

boqonnaa ergamaa boqonnaa kudha afuriitti argamu, akkasumas ergamaa jabaa boqonnaa kudha saddeetiitti argamu keessaa, Baabilon yeroo lama kufuu ishee adda baasa; ergaan sunis Baabilon bara dhumaa eenyu akka taate ni ibsa. Inni Baabilon bara dhumaa ni ibsa; sababni isaas Baabilon yeroo lamaan kanaan dura kufte—bara Nimrood keessatti, akkasumas bara Nebukadnezaar irraa hamma Belshaazaaritti—amaloota raajii kufaatii sagaaltittii Mul’ata kudha torba keessatti ibsaman hundeessu; isheenis matuma ishee irratti, “Baabilon Guddittii” jechuun barreeffamee qabdi. Kufaatii Baabilon sana bara dhumaa keessatti adda baasuuf, dhuga-baatota lama kufaatiiwwan Baabilon kanneen duraanii lamaan barbaachisa; sababiin isaas ergaan bara dhumaa, “Baabilon kufte, kufte” jedhu dha. Yommuu ergamaan jabaan sun gadi bu’e, yeroo gamoowwan guguddaan Magaalaa Niiw Yoork harka Waaqayyootiin buqqaafamanii kufanitti, labsii isaatiin inni seera raajii hojii irra oolmaa sadarkaa sadiitiin ibsamu adda baasa. Hojiirra oolmaan sadarkaa sadii inni jecha raajii Waaqayyoo guutamuu isaa akka ta’e Fulbaana 11, 2001 hundeesse, hojii irra oolmaa sadarkaa sadii badiiwwan sadii sanaa ture.

At that fulfillment many joined the movement of Future for America, and they were convinced of the principles of prophetic interpretation that had been employed by Future for America. August 11, 1840 repeated, and in so doing the repetition did not confirm the primary rule of Miller, that being that a day represents a year in Bible prophecy, for the primary rule of Future for America was that the Millerite history of the first and second angels’ messages is repeated in the history of the movement of the third angel.

መፈጸሚያው በዚያ ጊዜ፣ ብዙዎች ከFuture for America ንቅናቄ ጋር ተቀላቀሉ፤ እነርሱም Future for America የተጠቀመባቸውን የትንቢት ትርጓሜ መርሆች ተረዱ እና ተቀበሉ። ነሐሴ 11, 1840 እንደገና ተደገመ፤ እንዲሁም ይህ ድግግሞሽ የMiller መጀመሪያ ደንብ ማረጋገጫ አልሆነም፤ ይህም በመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ትንቢት አንድ ቀን አንድን ዓመት ይወክላል የሚል ነው፤ ምክንያቱም የFuture for America መጀመሪያ ደንብ የMillerite ታሪክ የመጀመሪያውና የሁለተኛው መላእክት መልእክቶች በሦስተኛው መልአክ ንቅናቄ ታሪክ ውስጥ እንደገና ይደገማል የሚል ስለሆነ ነው።

It seems self-evident that if the year 1840 became a specific attack of his satanic majesty, as Sister White identifies Satan, then the history of September 11, 2001 would also be subject to a similar attack. Thus, we find conspiracy theories identifying the role of the globalist, or the Jesuits, or the CIA, or the Bushes or some combination of those powers. Those theories, though containing some elements of truth are designed to refute the idea that it was a touch from God that brought down the great buildings of New York City, thus marking the arrival of the third woe into the history of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Yoo ifatti ifa of irraa mul’ata ta’ee fakkaata: akka Sister White Seexana akka waamtuutti, yoo bara 1840n weerara addaa ulfina isaa seexanaatiin ta’e, seenaa Fulbaana 11, 2001 immoo akkasuma weerara fakkaataa sanaaf saaxilama ta’a.

> “Now comes the word that I have declared that New York is to be swept away by a tidal wave? This I have never said. I have said, as I looked at the great buildings going up there, story after story, ‘What terrible scenes will take place when the Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth! Then the words of Revelation 18:1–3 will be fulfilled.’ The whole of the eighteenth chapter of Revelation is a warning of what is coming on the earth. But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God’s power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the Lord, one touch of his mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine.” Review and Herald, July 5, 1906.

The conspiracy theories, whether containing no truth or partial truths all undermine the truth that it was God’s providential activity that brought about the events of that date. Those various conspiracy theories are Satan’s attack from the outside of the movement against the truth, but he also worked to undermine the truth from within the movement. One of those internal attacks is based upon a rejection of Rome as the subject of the book of Joel.

> The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. Joel 1:1–6.
