> “Hakuna uwezekano wa kutoa dhana yoyote kuhusu uzoefu wa watu wa Mungu watakaokuwa hai duniani wakati utukufu wa mbinguni na kurudiwa kwa mateso ya zamani vitakapochanganyika. Watatembea katika nuru itokayo kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Mungu. Kwa njia ya malaika kutakuwapo mawasiliano ya daima kati ya mbingu na dunia. Naye Shetani, akizungukwa na malaika waovu, na akidai kuwa ni Mungu, atafanya miujiza ya kila namna, ili kuwadanganya, kama ikiwezekana, hata wateule wenyewe.” Testimonies, juzuu ya 9, 16.

Mbuya White anafotokoza pa uthenga umene Khristu anapereka m’sunagoge mu Kapernao, wolembedwa m’chaputala 6 cha Yohane.

Ujumbe uliotiwa muhuri wazi wakati huo umewekwa imara kwa njia ya mbinu ya mstari juu ya mstari, ambayo ndiyo mbinu ya mvua ya masika. Mvua ya masika ilianza kunyesha kwa kunyunyiza mwaka 2001, na jaribio la mwisho la Uadventista likaanza. Mnamo Julai 2023 kipindi cha mwisho katika mchakato wa kupimwa kinachohitimia kwenye sheria ya Jumapili kilianza, wakati ujumbe wa kilio cha usiku wa manane, ambao pia ni mvua ya masika, ambao pia ni ongezeko la maarifa linalozalishwa muhuri wa saba unapoondolewa, na ambao pia ni kufunuliwa kwa ngurumo saba pamoja na Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo. Mistari yote inayowakilisha kufunguliwa kwa nuru ya unabii inatambulishwa kuwa ilifunguliwa katika historia iliyofichika ya aya ya arobaini ya Danieli sura ya kumi na moja.

PaMutemo weSvondo, “nhoroondo yakapfuura” ichadzokororwa munguva yekuumba mufananidzo wechikara muUnited States.

Kopetë e gjedhëve janë të hutuara, sepse nuk kanë kullotë; po, edhe tufat e deleve janë bërë shkretë.’ ‘Hardhia është tharë dhe fiku po ligështohet; shega, edhe palma, edhe molla, madje të gjithë drurët e fushës, janë tharë, sepse gëzimi është tharë larg bijve të njerëzve.” Joeli 1:15–18, 12.
