We are considering six historical lines within the history of Adventism where controversies over the symbol of Rome was the issue. We are employing the methodology of the latter rain, which is “line upon line” from “here a little” and “there a little.” We began by identifying that the first controversy over the symbol of Rome illustrates the current controversy, and therefore emphasizes that we are now in the last controversy before probation closes.

Nuti seenaa Adventizimii keessatti sararoota seenaa jahaa, iddoo falmiiwwan mallattoo Roomaa irratti xiyyeeffatan ilaalaa jirra. Nuti mala roobaa boodaa fayyadamaa jirra; innis “sarararra sarara” kan “as xinnoo” fi “achi xinnoo” irraa taʼe dha. Nuti kan jalqabne falmiin jalqabaa mallattoo Roomaa irratti taʼe falmii yeroo ammaa kana fakkeessuu isaa adda baasuudhaan; kanaafis amma dura balballi araaraa cufamu falmii isa dhumaa keessa jirra jechuun cimsuu isaati.

The seriousness of this final controversy about the symbol of Rome is also represented by verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven, which typify the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel eleven. The history of verse forty brings the student of prophecy to 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union as represented in verse ten. The next verse, verse forty-one, which identifies the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, is typified by verse sixteen. Inspiration has identified that what was sealed was “the portion of the book of Daniel that related to the last days”.

ስለ ሮም ምልክት ያለው ይህ የመጨረሻ ክርክር ክብደት በዳንኤል አስራ አንድ ቁጥር አሥር እስከ አሥራ ስድስት ድረስ ባሉት ጥቅሶች ደግሞ ተወክሏል፤ እነዚህም የዳንኤል አስራ አንድ ቁጥር አርባን የተሰወረ ታሪክ ያመለክታሉ። የቁጥር አርባ ታሪክ የትንቢትን ተማሪ ወደ 1989 እና በቁጥር አሥር እንደ ተወከለው ወደ ሶቪየት ህብረት መፍረስ ያመጣዋል። የሚቀጥለው ጥቅስ፣ ቁጥር አርባ አንድ፣ በዩናይትድ ስቴትስ በቅርቡ የሚመጣውን የእሑድ ሕግ የሚለይ ሲሆን፣ በቁጥር አሥራ ስድስት ተመስሏል። መንፈሳዊ መነሳሳት የታተመው “ከመጨረሻዎቹ ዘመናት ጋር የተያያዘው የዳንኤል መጽሐፍ ክፍል” እንደሆነ ለይቶ ገልጿል።

1989 unto the Sunday law is the sealed portion of the last days, and it is typified in verses ten through sixteen. It is therefore the increase of knowledge that leads to the close of probation for Seventh-day Adventists, for Adventism’s probation in the United States is finished at the Sunday law. In verses ten through sixteen we find verse fourteen, which identifies that it is the “robbers” of God’s people that establish the vision.

1989 irraa hamma seera Dilbataatti yeroo dhumaa keessatti kutaan cufameedha, kunis lakkoofsa kudhan irraa hamma kudha jahaatti fakkeenyaan agarsiifameera. Kanaaf, dabaluu beekumsaa jechuun isa Adventistoota Guyyaa Torbaffaa irratti cufamuu yeroo qorumsaatti geessuudha; sababiin isaas yeroo qorumsi Adventizimii keessatti Ameerikaa keessatti jiru seera Dilbataatti xumurama. Lakkoofsa kudhan irraa hamma kudha jahaatti lakkoofsa kudha afur ni argina; innis mul’ata sana kan dhaabu “saamtoota” saba Waaqayyoo ta’uu isaanii adda baasa.

Therefore, the Millerite controversy that is represented upon the 1843 pioneer chart is the first controversy of Rome in Adventism’s history. The fact that the very same controversy has again arrived, informs anyone who wishes to see that Jesus, as the Alpha and Omega, always illustrates the end with the beginning. The current controversy is the final controversy which sifts the wise and foolish virgins.

Kanaaf, falmiin Mileraayitii kan kaartaa abbootii duraa bara 1843 irratti bakka buufame, seenaa Adveentizimii keessatti falmii jalqabaa Roomaa dha. Dhugaan falmiin isuma sana ammas deebi’ee dhufuun isaa, namni arguuf fedhu kam iyyuu akka Yesuus, Alfaa fi Oomeegaan, yeroo hundumaa dhuma jalqabaatiin fakkeessuu ni agarsiisa. Falmiin yeroo ammaa kun falmii isa dhumaa kan durboota ogeeyyii fi gowwoota addaan siftu dha.

Sanctified prophetic logic teaches that the one hundred and forty-four thousand come into perfect unity before their close of probation at the soon-coming Sunday law. The refining fire of Malachi’s Messenger of the Covenant is now purifying the Levites as gold and silver. The Dirt Brush Man is now purging His floor with words of truth.

Loojikii raajii qulqullaa’een kan barsiisu, dhibba afurtamii afurii fi kuma afurtamii afur sun yeroo isaanii araarri itti cufamu dura, jechuunis yeroo dhiyootti seerri Dilbataa dhufu sanaan dura, tokkummaa mudaa hin qabne keessa akka seenan dha. Ibidda qulqulleessaa Ergamichaa Kakuu kan Malaakii keessatti ibsame amma Lewwota akka warqee fi meetii qulqulleessaa jira. Namichi Burushii Xurii amma dubbii dhugaatiin lafa dhaabaa Isaa qulqulleessaa jira.

> “‘Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner.’ Matthew 3:12. This was one of the times of purging. By the words of truth, the chaff was being separated from the wheat. Because they were too vain and self-righteous to receive reproof, too world-loving to accept a life of humility, many turned away from Jesus. Many are still doing the same thing. Souls are tested today as were those disciples in the synagogue at Capernaum. When truth is brought home to the heart, they see that their lives are not in accordance with the will of God. They see the need of an entire change in themselves; but they are not willing to take up the self-denying work. Therefore they are angry when their sins are discovered. They go away offended, even as the disciples left Jesus, murmuring, ‘This is an hard saying; who can hear it?’” The Desire of Ages, 392.

> “‘Inni harka isaa keessatti qaba, inni iddoo oobdii isaa guutummaatti qulqulleessa, qamadii isaas gootara keessatti walitti qaba.’ Maatewos 3:12. Kun yeroo qulqulleessuu keessaa tokko ture. Jechoota dhugaatiin, citaan qamadii irraa adda baafamaa ture. Sababii isaan iftuudhaan baay’ee of-jajoo fi of-qajeeloo turaniif gorsa fudhachuu hin dandeenye, akkasumas addunyaa baay’ee jaallataniif jireenya gad-of-qabummaa fudhachuu hin feeneef, namoonni baay’een Yesuus irraa deebi’an. Baay’een amma illee waanuma kana raawwachaa jiru. Har’as lubbuuleen akkuma bartoonni sun mana sagadaa Qapharnaahom keessatti qoramanii turanitti qoramaa jiru. Yommuu dhugaan garaa isaanii seenu, jireenyi isaanii fedha Waaqayyoo wajjin akka hin walsimne argu. Isaan of keessatti guutummaatti jijjiiramuu akka barbaachisu hubatu; garuu hojii of-eegannoo dhiisuu sana baachuu hin fedhan. Kanaaf, yeroo cubbuun isaanii ifa baafamu ni aaru. Akkuma bartoonni Yesuus dhiisanii deemanitti, “Dubbiin kun jabaadha; eenyutu dhaga’uu danda’a?” jedhanii guungumaa deemu.” The Desire of Ages, 392.

The fact that the first sixteen verses are the beginning of Daniel’s last prophecy, and that those verses align with the last six verses of the chapter, indicates that the Alpha and Omega is using the verses in the beginning to accomplish the final separation of the wise and wicked, as represented by Daniel in chapter twelve, which is now occurring.

བདེན་པ་ནི་ཚན་པ་བཅུ་དྲུག་དང་པོ་དེ་དག་ནི་དཱ་ནི་ཡེལ་གྱི་ལུང་བསྟན་མཐའ་མའི་འགོ་བརྩམས་ཡིན་པ་དང་། ཚན་པ་དེ་དག་ནི་ལེའུ་དེའི་མཇུག་གི་ཚན་པ་དྲུག་དང་མཐུན་པར་སྒྲིག་པ་ཡིན་པས། ཨཱལ་ཕ་དང་ཨོ་མེ་ག་ཡིས་འགོ་བརྩམས་ཀྱི་ཚན་པ་དེ་དག་བེད་སྤྱད་ནས། ད་ལྟར་བྱུང་བཞིན་པའི། ལེའུ་བཅུ་གཉིས་ནང་དཱ་ནི་ཡེལ་གྱིས་མཚོན་པ་ལྟར། མཁས་པ་དང་ངན་པའི་མཐའ་མའི་དབྱེ་བ་བསྒྲུབ་པར་མཛད་ཀྱི་ཡོད་པ་མཚོན་ནོ།

A third witness to the serious nature of the controversy is the fact that inspiration, through the writings of Sister White, clearly upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the controversy of Rome in verse fourteen. The beginning controversy represents the ending controversy, and the inspired endorsement of the Millerite understanding of verse fourteen’s “robbers of thy people,” means that if that foundational truth is rejected, it is simultaneously a rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy. In agreement with the previous two witnesses that emphasize that this controversy occurs just before probation closes is the certainty that the last, or final, deception for those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy, is a rejection of the Spirit of Prophecy.

Mormitootni kana ulfina qabeessa taʼuu isaa irratti ragaan sadaffaan, kakaʼumsi, barreessitoota Obboleettii White tiin, chaartii pioneera bara 1843, isa lakkoofsa kudha afur keessatti mormii Roomaa agarsiisu, ifatti deeggaruu isaati.

> “Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from truth. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’ (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God’s remnant people in the true testimony.

> “ଶୟତାନ ... ନିରନ୍ତର ଭାବରେ ଭ୍ରାନ୍ତ ବସ୍ତୁକୁ ଆଗକୁ ଠେଲି ଦେଉଛି—ସତ୍ୟରୁ ଦୂରେ ନେବା ପାଇଁ। ଶୟତାନଙ୍କର ସର୍ବଶେଷ ପ୍ରତାରଣା ଏହି ହେବ ଯେ, ଦେବଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମାର ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟକୁ ନିଷ୍ଫଳ କରିଦେବ। ‘ଯେଉଁଠାରେ ଦର୍ଶନ ନାହିଁ, ସେଠାରେ ଲୋକେ ନଶ୍ଟ ହୁଅନ୍ତି’ (Proverbs 29:18)। ଶୟତାନ କୌଶଳପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବରେ, ବିଭିନ୍ନ ପ୍ରକାରରେ ଓ ବିଭିନ୍ନ ଉପାୟମାନଙ୍କ ମାଧ୍ୟମରେ, ଦେବଙ୍କ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଜନମାନଙ୍କର ସତ୍ୟ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ପ୍ରତି ନିଶ୍ଚୟତାକୁ ଅସ୍ଥିର କରିବା ପାଇଁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରିବ।”

> “There will be a hatred kindled against the Testimonies which is satanic. The workings of Satan will be to unsettle the faith of the churches in them, for this reason: Satan cannot have so clear a track to bring in his deceptions and bind up souls in his delusions if the warnings and reproofs and counsels of the Spirit of God are heeded.” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.

> “ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଏକ ଏପରି ଘୃଣା ପ୍ରଜ୍ୱଳିତ ହେବ ଯାହା ଶୈତାନୀୟ ହେବ। ଶୈତାନଙ୍କର କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଏହାହିଁ ହେବ ଯେ, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ଚର୍ଚ୍ଚମାନଙ୍କର ବିଶ୍ୱାସକୁ ଅସ୍ଥିର କରିଦେବ; କାରଣ ଏହା ହେଉଛି: ଯଦି ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମାର ଚେତାବନୀ, ତାଡନା ଓ ପରାମର୍ଶକୁ ମାନ୍ୟ କରାଯାଏ, ତେବେ ଶୈତାନ ନିଜ ଭ୍ରମଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଆଣିବା ପାଇଁ ଏବଂ ପ୍ରାଣମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିଜ ମୋହଭ୍ରମରେ ବାନ୍ଧି ରଖିବା ପାଇଁ ଏତେ ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ ପଥ ପାଇବ ନାହିଁ।” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.

The making of none effect, or the rejection of the authority of the “testimony of the Spirit of God” through the writings of Ellen White, is the “very last deception of Satan.” Sister White wrote that she was “shown” that the “1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and should not be altered.” The previous passage directly associates the rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy with the vision of the last days, for all the prophets speak most directly of the last days. Therefore when Daniel says in verse fourteen that “the robbers” establish the vision, it is Solomon’s vision of Proverbs 29:18, which says that those who do not have the vision “perish,” and the word “perish” means “to be made naked”.

Ellen White በጻፈቻቸው ጽሑፎች አማካኝነት የተገለጸውን “የእግዚአብሔር መንፈስ ምስክርነት” ሥልጣን ዋጋ አልባ ማድረግ ወይም መቃወም “ከሰይጣን ማታለያዎች ሁሉ እጅግ የመጨረሻው ማታለያ” ነው። እህት White የ“1843 ቻርት በጌታ እጅ እንደተመራ እና ሊለወጥ እንደማይገባ” “ተገልጦልኛል” ብላ ጻፈች። ከዚህ በፊት ያለው ክፍል የትንቢት መንፈስን ሥልጣን መቃወም ከመጨረሻዎቹ ዘመናት ራእይ ጋር በቀጥታ ያገናኘዋል፥ ምክንያቱም ነቢያት ሁሉ በጣም በቀጥታ የሚናገሩት ስለ መጨረሻዎቹ ዘመናት ነውና። ስለዚህ ዳንኤል በአሥራ አራተኛው ቁጥር “ዘራፊዎች” ራእዩን ያቆማሉ ሲል፥ ይህ በምሳሌ 29፥18 ያለው የሰሎሞን ራእይ ነው፤ በዚያም ራእይ የሌላቸው ሰዎች “ይጠፋሉ” ተብሎ ይናገራል፥ “ይጠፋሉ” የሚለው ቃልም “ራቁታቸውን መሆን” ማለት ነው።

“Perish” is therefore identifying that those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy in the last days, but who reject the authority represented therein, become naked, and perish, which is a description of the Laodiceans, who are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” They are counseled to buy “white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.” If they refuse the counsel they are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord.

Kanaaf, “baduu” jedhu kanaan warri bara dhumaa keessatti Hafuura Raajii deggaruuf jechuun of himatan, garuu aangoo isa keessatti bakka buufame sana didan, qullaa ta’uudhaan badu akka isaanii agarsiisa; kunis ibsa Laa’odiiqeyota, warra “hiyyeessa, nama gaddisiisaa, harka qalleessa, jaamaa, qullaa” ta’anii dha. Isaan akka uffata “adii, akka ati uffattu, qaaniin qullummaa keetii akka hin mul’anneef” bitatan gorfamu. Yoo isaan gorsa sana didan, afaan Gooftaa keessaa tufamu.

Thus, we find another witness that this nakedness is manifested just before probation closes. At the soon-coming Sunday law those naked souls will receive the mark of the beast, as they are overthrown, as represented in verse forty-one of Daniel eleven. The reason they will be overthrown is that they rejected the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy, which upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the foundations of Adventism, and includes the “key” which establishes the vision with the identification that Rome is the power represented as “the robbers of thy people” in verse fourteen.

Kanaaf, qulliin kun yeroo balballi araaraa cufamuuf jedhu sanatti akka mulʼatu ragaa biraa argina.

> “One thing is certain: those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan’s banner will first give up their faith in the warnings and reproofs contained in the Testimonies of God’s spirit.

> “Tokko tokkoo mirkanaaʼaadha: Adventistoonni Guyyaa Torbaffaa warri alaabaa Seexanaa jalatti dhaabatan, jalqabarratti amantii isaanii akeekkachiisotaa fi sirreeffamoota Dhugaa-baatota Hafuura Waaqayyoo keessatti qabamaniin ni dhiisu.

> “The call to greater consecration and holier service is being made, and will continue to be made. Some who are now voicing Satan’s suggestions will come to their senses. There are those in important positions of trust who do not understand the truth for this time. To them the message must be given. If they receive it, Christ will accept them, and will make them workers together with him. But if they refuse to hear the message, they will take their stand under the black banner of the Prince of Darkness.

> “Waaqeffannaa guddaa fi tajaajila caalaa qulqulluutti waamichi taasifamaa jira, akkasumas itti fufee taasifamaa ni jira. Namoonni yeroo ammaa yaada Seexanaa dubbachaa jiran keessaa tokko tokko ofitti ni deebi’u. Namoonni amanamummaa barbaachisaa taʼe qaban keessaa dhugaa yeroo kanaatiif taʼe hin hubanne jiru.

> “I am instructed to say that the precious truth for this time is open more and more clearly to human minds. In a special sense men and women are to eat of Christ’s flesh and drink of his blood. There will be a development of the understanding, for the truth is capable of constant expansion. The divine originator of truth will come into closer and still closer communion with those who follow on to know him. As God’s people receive his word as the bread of heaven, they will know that his goings forth are prepared as the morning. They will receive spiritual strength, as the body receives physical strength when food is eaten.” Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.

> “Ani nanage dubbifamee jiru akka yeroo kanaaf dhugaan gatiin guddaan qabu sammuu namaatti caalaatti ifaa taʼee banamaa deemu.

In our last article we identified that Uriah Smith was the champion of the rebellion of 1863, for it was he who introduced the counterfeit 1863 chart. The chart he produced in 1863 removed the seven times of Leviticus twenty-six from Laodicean Adventism’s prophetic message, thus marking the beginning of the progressive tearing down of the foundations, and also the beginning of the construction of the counterfeit Laodicean Adventist foundation, which is built upon sand. Later in Advent history, his private interpretation of the king of the north, bore the fruits of his prophetic model as people fled the church.

> Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:15–27.

The leadership of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism was passed by in 1989, as assuredly as the leadership of the Jewish church was passed by at the birth of Christ.

> “Men know it not, but the tidings fill heaven with rejoicing. With a deeper and more tender interest the holy beings from the world of light are drawn to the earth. The whole world is brighter for His presence. Above the hills of Bethlehem are gathered an innumerable throng of angels. They wait the signal to declare the glad news to the world. Had the leaders in Israel been true to their trust, they might have shared the joy of heralding the birth of Jesus. But now they are passed by.

> “Namoonni isa hin beekan, garuu oduun kun samii gammachuu guutuudhaan guuti. Uumamtoonni qulqulloonni biyya ifaa keessaa jiran fedhii caalaa gadi fagoo fi laafinaan gara lafaatti harkifamu.

> “God declares, ‘I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.’ ‘Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.’ Isaiah 44:3; Psalm 112:4. To those who are seeking for light, and who accept it with gladness, the bright rays from the throne of God will shine.” The Desire of Ages, 47.

> Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani isa dheebote irratti bishaan nan dhangalaasa, lafa gogaa irrattis lolaa nan buusa.” “Warra qajeelotaaf dukkana keessaa ifni ni ba’a.” Isaayyaas 44:3; Faarfannaa 112:4. Warra ifa barbaadanii, gammachuudhaanis isa fudhatan irratti, ifni ifaa teessoo mootummaa Waaqayyoo irraa dhufu ni ifa.” The Desire of Ages, 47.

The time of the end in the line of Christ was His birth, and it was then that the message which would test that generation was unsealed. 1989 was the time of the end for the candidates who are called to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Uriah Smith’s prophetic model rejected the foundational truths which are represented on the 1843 chart. Those truths were the “Rock.”

Dhuma dhumaa sarara Kiristoos keessatti dhalachuu Isaa ture; yeroo sanattis ergaan dhaloota sana qoruu jedhu hiikamee mul’ate. Bara 1989tti yeroon dhumaa warra kaadhimamtoota ta’anii keessaa dhibba afurtamii afur kuma tokko keessaa waamamaniif ture.

> “The warning has come: Nothing is to be allowed to come in that will disturb the foundation of the faith upon which we have been building ever since the message came in 1842, 1843, and 1844. I was in this message, and ever since I have been standing before the world, true to the light that God has given us. We do not propose to take our feet off the platform on which they were placed as day by day we sought the Lord with earnest prayer, seeking for light. Do you think that I could give up the light that God has given me? It is to be as the Rock of Ages. It has been guiding me ever since it was given.” Review and Herald, April 14, 1903.

> “Xiinniin dhufeera: Hundee amantii isa irratti ergaa bara 1842, 1843, fi 1844tti nu dhufee jalqabee irraa kaasee ijaaraa turre jeequu danda’u tokko illee akka seenu hin heyyamamne.

On September 11, 2001 the latter rain began to sprinkle as the winds representing Islam of the third Woe were released, and the Patriot Act marked a transition from English to Roman law prophetically announcing that the flood of the papal power had begun to flow. The final testing process for the house of Laodicean Adventism began, and “the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it”.

መስከረም 11 ቀን 2001 ዓ.ም. ላይ፣ የሦስተኛው ወዮ እስልምናን የሚወክሉት ነፋሳት ሲፈቱ፣ የኋለኛው ዝናብ መርጨት ጀመረ፤ እንዲሁም ፓትሪዮት አክት ከእንግሊዝ ሕግ ወደ ሮማዊ ሕግ የተደረገ ሽግግርን ምልክት በማድረግ፣ የጳጳሳዊ ኃይል የጥፋት ውኃ ፍሰት መፍሰስ ጀምሮአል ብሎ በትንቢት አወጀ። ለላኦዲቅያዊ አድቬንቲዝም ቤት የመጨረሻው የፈተና ሂደት ተጀመረ፤ እናም “ዝናቡ ወረደ፣ ጎርፉም መጣ፣ ነፋሳቱም ነፈሱ፣ በዚያም ቤት ላይ ተመቱት፤ ወደቀችም፤ ውድቀቷም ታላቅ ነበረ”።

The message that the mighty angel announced at that time identified that all nations had drunk the wine of Babylon, and the counterfeit methodology of papal Rome and apostate Protestantism which had been progressively adopted since the rebellion of 1863, is represented by the wine (doctrine) of Babylon.

Ergaan ergamaan jabaan sun bara sanatti beeksise sun, saboonni hundinuu daadhii Baabilon dhuganii akka turan adda baase; akkasumas mala sobaa Roomaa Paaphaasii fi Pirootestaantummaa gantummaa, isa fincila bara 1863 irraa jalqabee suuta suuta fudhatamaa dhufaa ture, daadhii (barsiisa) Baabiloniin bakka buufamee jira.

> And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 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. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:1–3.

> Kana booddee wantoota kanaa ergamaa biraan samii irraa gad bu’aa jiru nan arge; inni humna guddaa qaba ture; ulfinni isaatiinis lafti ni ibsite. Innis sagalee cimaa guddaadhaan iyyee akkana jedhe: “Baabilon guddoon kufte, kufte; isheen iddoo jireenyaa hafuurota hamoo taate, qubata hafuura xuraa’aa hundumaa, mana hidhaa simbiraa xuraa’aa fi jibbamaa hundumaas taate. Sababni isaas, saboonni hundinuu wayinii dheekkamsa sagaagalummaa ishee irraa dhuganiiru; mootonni lafaas ishee wajjin sagaagalaniru; daldaltoonni lafaas badhaadhina qananii ishee irraa baay’inaan dureeyyii ta’aniiru.” Mul’ata Yohaannis 18:1–3.

At the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing process was over for the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the testing process of those who were the candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand began. When Michael began to awaken those candidates in July of 2023, the message, represented as oil in the parable of Adventism was again unsealed. Whether post September 11, 2001 or post July 2023, there was an outpouring of the oil, and the message that was unsealed in July 2023, when fully developed, is the Midnight Cry message of the parable.

ጥራይ ጁላይ 18, 2020 ላይ የደረሰው ተስፋ መቁረጥ ጊዜ፣ ለሎዶቅያ የሰባተኛው ቀን አድቬንቲስት ቤተ ክርስቲያን የፈተና ሂደት ተጠናቀቀ፤ እና ከመቶ አርባ አራት ሺህ መካከል ለመሆን እጩዎች የነበሩት ሰዎች የፈተና ሂደት ተጀመረ። ሚካኤል እነዚያን እጩዎች በጁላይ 2023 ማንቃት ሲጀምር፣ በአድቬንቲዝም ምሳሌ ዘይት ተብሎ የተወከለው መልእክት እንደገና ተፈታ። ከሴፕቴምበር 11, 2001 በኋላ ይሁን ወይም ከጁላይ 2023 በኋላ፣ የዘይቱ መፍሰስ ነበረ፤ እና በጁላይ 2023 የተፈታው መልእክት፣ ሙሉ በሙሉ ሲዳብር፣ የምሳሌው የእኩለ ሌሊት ጩኸት መልእክት ነው።

It begins in the testing time as the message for the wise and foolish virgins, but it swells to the loud cry message. That message arrives at the soon-coming Sunday law, and when it arrives the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen calls God’s other flock out of Babylon.

Inni yeroo qorumsaatti akka ergaa durboota ogeeyyii fi gowwootaatti jalqaba; garuu hamma ergaa iyyata guddaatti ni babal’ata. Ergaan sun yeroo seerri Dilbataa dhufuuf jedhu ga’utti ni dhufa; yeroo inni gahu sagaleen lammaffaan Mul’ata boqonnaa kudhan saddeet keessaa hoolota Waaqayyoo warra hafan Baabilon keessaa ni waama.

> And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 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. Revelation 18:4, 5.

> Anis sagalee biraa waaqa irraa, “Yaa saba koo, cubbuu ishee keessaa qooda akka hin qabaanneef, dhaʼicha ishee irraas akka hin fudhanneef, ishee keessaa baʼaa” jedhee dubbatu nan dhagaʼe. Cubbuun ishee hamma waaqaatti gaʼeera; Waaqayyos jalʼina ishee yaadateera. Mulʼata Yohaannis 18:4, 5.

The first voice of verse one through three announced the arrival of a testing time, and the sprinkling of the latter rain then began. The second voice identifies the end of that testing time, and announces the testing time for God’s other flock that is still in Babylon.

SAGALEEN kuta 1ffaa 3tti sagaleen inni jalqabaa yeroo qormaataa dhufuu isaa labse, achumaanis facaasni bokkaa boodaa jalqabe. Sagaleen inni lammaffaan xumura yeroo qormaataa sanaa adda baasa; akkasumas yeroo qormaataa bushaayee Waaqayyoo isa kaan, kan ammallee Baabilon keessa jiru, ni labsa.

> “So in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. The second angel’s message is, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people.’” Review and Herald, December 6, 1892.

> “Kanaaf hojii dhumaa keessatti akeekkachiisa addunyaatiif, waamichi addaa lama waldoota amantaatiif ni kennama. Ergaan ergamaa lammaffaa, ‘Baabilon kufteerti, kufteerti; magaalaa guddoon sun, sababni isaas saboonni hundinuu daadhii dheekkamsa sagaagalummaa isheetiif akka dhugan gooteerti’ jedhu. Akkasumas iyya guddaa ergaa ergamaa sadaffaatiin, sagaleen tokko samii irraa akkana jedhu ni dhaga’ama, ‘Yaa saba koo, ishee keessaa ba’aa.’” Review and Herald, December 6, 1892.

It is during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that Paul’s strong delusion of Second Thessalonians is accomplished. Whether it was the testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church that began on September 11, 2001 or the testing of the virgins who experienced the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing occurs during an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That outpouring represents a testing message.

> “The anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth, have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding his throne, the Lord keeps up a constant communication with the inhabitants of the earth. The golden oil represents the grace with which God keeps the lamps of believers supplied, that they shall not flicker and go out. Were it not that this holy oil is poured from heaven in the messages of God’s Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entire control over men.

> “Warri dibamanii guutummaa lafaa bira dhaabatan, iddoo yeroo tokkoof akka kiiruubii haguuguutti Seexanaaf kenname qabu. Uumamtoota qulqulloota teessoo isaa marfamanii jiraniin, Gooftaan jiraattota lafaa wajjin qunnamtii itti fufiinsa qabu eega.

Zayitiin qulqulluun kun erga ergaawwan Hafuura Waaqayyoo keessatti samii irraa hin dhangalaane ta’ee, humnoonni hamaa namoota irratti to’annoo guutuu qabaatu turan.”

> “God is dishonored when we do not receive the communications which he sends us. Thus we refuse the golden oil which he would pour into our souls to be communicated to those in darkness. When the call shall come, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ those who have not received the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace of Christ in their hearts, will find, like the foolish virgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord. They have not, in themselves, the power to obtain the oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if God’s Holy Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses, ‘Show me thy glory,’ the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the golden oil will be communicated to us. ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.’ By receiving the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, God’s children shine as lights in the world.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.

> “Waaqni yeroo nu ergaa inni nuu ergu hin simanne ni salphata. Akkasitti zayita warqee isa inni gara lubbuu keenyaatti naquudhaan warra dukkana keessa jiranitti akka darbu barbaadu ni didna. Yeroo waamichi sun, ‘Kunoo, Misirrichi dhufeera; isa simachuuf baʼaa,’ jedhu dhufu, warri zayita qulqulluu hin fudhatin, ayyaana Kiristoos garaa isaanii keessatti hin kunuunsin, akka durboota gowwootaatti, Gooftaa isaanii simachuuf qophaaʼoo akka hin taane ni argatu. Isaan zayita sana argachuuf humna of keessaa hin qaban, jireenyi isaaniis ni caccaba. Garuu yoo Hafuurri Qulqulluun Waaqayyoo kadhatame, yoo akka Museetti, ‘Ulfinni kee naa argisiisi,’ jennee kadhanne, jaalalli Waaqayyoo garaa keenya keessatti ni dhangalaʼa.

The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began on September 11, 2001, and it represents two testing periods. The first is the final testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the second is for those who are the subjects of the parable of the ten virgins. To be either a wise or a foolish virgin requires that all the virgins experience a tarrying time.

Yeroon kuma dhibbaa afurtamii afurii fi kuma afur ta’an mallattoo qabsiifamuu isaanii Fulbaana 11, 2001 irraa eegale; innis yeroo qorumsaa lama bakka bu’a. Tokkoffaan qorumsicha isa dhumaa kan waldaa Adventistii Guyyaa Torbaffaa Laaʼodiiqeyaa ti; lammaffaan immoo warra mata duree fakkeenya durboota kudhanii ta’aniif. Durba ogeettii yookaan durba gowwaa ta’uun akka danda’amuuf, durboonni hundinuu yeroo turtii tokko keessa darbuu qabu.

In Millerite history the tarrying time began with the arrival of the second angel, which occurred at the first disappointment. At that point the Protestants, who were God’s former covenant chosen people were passed by. On July 18, 2020 the former covenant chosen people were passed by, and the testing process that occurred during the tarrying time in the Millerite history began to be repeated. The message of the Midnight Cry was then developed in Millerite history, as it is currently being developed. When it fully arrived at the Exeter Camp meeting it was manifested who had the message (oil) and who did not. The former covenant chosen people of either history is the first to be tested and passed by.

> “‘A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you.’ I believe with all my heart that the Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the world, and those who have had great light and opportunities and have not improved them, will be the first to be left. They have grieved away the Spirit of God. The present activity of Satan in working upon hearts, and upon churches and nations should startle every student of prophecy. The end is near. Let our churches arise. Let the converting power of God be experienced in the heart of the individual members, and then we shall see the deep moving of the Spirit of God. Mere forgiveness of sin is not the sole result of the death of Jesus. He made the infinite sacrifice not only that sin might be removed, but that human nature might be restored, rebeautified, reconstructed from its ruins, and made fit for the presence of God.” Selected Messages, book 3, 154.

> “‘Anii haaraa isiniif nan kenna; hafuura haaraas isin keessa nan kaa’a.’ Ani garaa koo guutuudhaan amana, Hafuurri Waaqayyoo addunyaa irraa akka of deebisaa jiru, warri ifa guddaa fi carraa hedduu argatanii isa hin fayyadamne immoo warra jalqabaatti dhiifamaniif ta’u.

In either testing period, those who rejected the message that is unsealed receive Paul’s strong delusion.

Yeroo qorumsa lamaan keessaa isa kam iyyuu keessatti, warri ergaa hiikamee ifa taʼe sana didan, gowwoomsaa cimaa Phaawulos dubbate ni fudhatu.

> “It is a fearful thing to treat lightly the truth which has convinced our understanding and touched our hearts. We cannot with impunity reject the warnings which God in mercy sends us. A message was sent from heaven to the world in Noah’s day, and the salvation of men depended upon the manner in which they treated that message. Because they rejected the warning, the Spirit of God was withdrawn from the sinful race, and they perished in the waters of the flood. In the time of Abraham, mercy ceased to plead with the guilty inhabitants of Sodom, and all but Lot with his wife and two daughters were consumed by the fire sent down from heaven. So in the days of Christ. The Son of God declared to the unbelieving Jews of that generation, ‘Your house is left unto you desolate.’ Looking down to the last days, the same infinite power declares, concerning those who ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ ‘For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’ As they reject the teachings of His Word, God withdraws His Spirit, and leaves them to the deceptions which they love.” Early Writings, 46.
