Kubva panguva iyo Jesu akatanga kuratidza kuvadzidzi vake kuti waifanira kuenda kuJerusarema, nokutambudzika zvinhu zvizhinji kubva kuvakuru, navaprista vakuru, navanyori, nokuurayiwa, uye nokumutswa pazuva rechitatu. Ipapo Petro akamutora, akatanga kumutsiura, achiti, “Hazvirege kuva kwamuri, Ishe; izvi hazvingatongoitiki kwamuri.” Asi iye akatendeuka, akati kuna Petro, “Ibva shure kwangu, Satani; uri chigumbuso kwandiri; nokuti haurangariri zvinhu zvaMwari, asi zvinhu zvavanhu.” Mateo 16:19–23.

Izwi rokuti “Exeter” ndiro zita reguta riri muDevon, kuEngland. Mabviro aro emutauro anogona kuteverwa kudzokera kuOld English, umo raizivikanwa se“Exanceaster” kana kuti “Execestre.” Zita iri rinotendwa kuti rinobva pamazwi eOld English anoti “Exe” (achireva Rwizi Exe, rwakavakirwa guta iri parwuri) uye “ceaster” (zvichireva “nhare yeRoma” kana kuti “guta rakakomberedzwa norusvingo”). Naizvozvo, “Exeter” rinoreva kungava “nhare iri paRwizi Exe,” kana kuti “guta rakakomberedzwa norusvingo riri pedyo neRwizi Exe.” Jogirafi ine chokuita nokusvika nokuzadzikiswa kweKudanidzira kwapakati pousiku munhoroondo yeMillerite inoratidza nzvimbo paiva nemvura, inomirira kudururwa kweMweya Mutsvene, uye nzvimbo apo Mwari akanga achisimudza uto kuti rizivise shoko kunyika, izvo Sista White anotizivisa kuti zvakaenda se“mafungu makuru omugungwa.” Mafungu makuru omugungwa haasi mvura yerwizi chete; imvura yakapiwa simba rinopfuura zvose.

Vakaita misangano yenhema yaiva neruzha rukuru uye yakazara nemanzwiro zvokuti vatungamiri vemisangano yaSnow vakaenda kwavari vakavazivisa kuti vaderedze ruzha.

M’mbiri imene magulu awiri amenewo awonetseredwa, Petro anayimira magulu onse awiriwo. Kuvomereza kwake komwe kunazindikiritsa Yesu monga Khristu, ndi Mwana wa Mulungu, kunabwera mwa kudzozedwa kwa Mzimu Woyera, pakuti Khristu anamuuza momveka bwino kuti, “Thupi ndi mwazi sizinaulule ichi kwa iwe, koma Atate anga akumwamba.” Pamene Yesu ndiye anadziwitsa ophunzira za mtanda, Petro, posowa mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera pa nthawi imeneyo, anatenga Khristu, “nayamba kumudzudzula, nanena, Zikhale kutali ndi inu, Ambuye: ichi sichidzachitika kwa inu. Koma Iye anatembenuka, nati kwa Petro, Choka pambuyo panga, Satana: ndiwe chokhumudwitsa kwa ine: pakuti sulingalira zinthu za Mulungu, koma za anthu.”

Kuburitsa manzwiro kwaPetro kwakanga kuchienderana nekunamata kwemanzwiro kwakanga kuchiitika mutende reWatertown apo Samuel Snow akanga achiparidza shoko reMidnight Cry. Padanho iroro Petro anomiririra avo vari vakwikwidzi vokubatanidzwa pakati pezana namakumi mana nezvina ezviuru. Vakwikwidzi ivavo vanomiririra boka rine mafuta, anova Mweya Mutsvene, uye ndiro shoko uye ndiwo hunhu, asi rimwe boka harina mafuta. Mumamiriro eKesaria Firipi, Kristu akatanga kuzarura “kuti anofanira kuenda kuJerusarema, nokutambudzika zvinhu zvizhinji navakuru navaprista vakuru navanyori, nokuurayiwa, uye kumutswa zvakare nezuva retatu.”

Kusintha kwa chiyembekezo kwa ophunzira pamene zochitika zimenezo zinakwaniritsidwadi pa mtanda ndi mbiri imene Sister White amagwiritsa ntchito kufanizirako kusintha kwa chiyembekezo kwa pa October 22, 1844, komanso kusintha kwa chiyembekezo kwa Ahebri pa kuwoloka Nyanja Yofiira pamene gulu lankhondo la Farao linali kuwathamangitsa ndipo madzi a nyanjayo anali patsogolo pawo.

Umlayezo wokuthi uKristu wayeza ngo-October 22 waziwa ngokuthi ‘isikhalo saphakathi kwamabili.’ ‘“Isikhalo saphakathi kwamabili,”’ kubhala u-Ellen White, ‘“samenyezelwa yizinkulungwane zamakholwa.”’ Wanezela wathi:
