We are dealing with the parallel between the movements of the first and third angels, in order to better understand what the increase of knowledge represents symbolically when it is unsealed at the time of the end. We are attempting to demonstrate that it represents an escalation of truth that ultimately climaxes as the latter rain, which is the message of the Midnight Cry. As a symbol, the “increase of knowledge” is derived from the book of Daniel, and it is there identified as the prophetic knowledge that tests and produces two classes of worshippers.

Tunashughulika na ulinganifu kati ya harakati za malaika wa kwanza na wa tatu, ili kuelewa vyema kile ambacho kuongezeka kwa maarifa kunawakilisha kiishara kinapofunguliwa muhuri wakati wa mwisho. Tunajaribu kuonyesha kwamba kuongezeka kwa maarifa kunawakilisha kuongezeka na kuimarika kwa ukweli kunakohitimia kwa kilele cha mvua ya mwisho, ambayo ndiyo ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Kama ishara, “kuongezeka kwa maarifa” kunatokana na kitabu cha Danieli, na humo kunatambulishwa kuwa ni maarifa ya kinabii yanayowajaribu na kuunda makundi mawili ya waabudu.

> And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:9, 10.

> Akasema, Enenda zako, Danieli; kwa maana maneno hayo yamefungwa na kutiwa muhuri hata wakati wa mwisho. Wengi watatakaswa, watafanywa weupe, na kujaribiwa; bali waovu watafanya maovu; wala hakuna miongoni mwa waovu atakayeelewa; bali wenye hekima wataelewa. Danieli 12:9, 10.

In 1989 an “increase of knowledge” was unsealed that will ultimately demonstrate two classes of worshippers. Those two classes are illustrated in the context of how they relate to the message of the latter rain. The wicked do not recognize or receive the latter rain, and the wise do. The wicked therefore do not see when the latter rain begins to fall, and it began to fall when the nations were angered on September 11, 2001. We have been addressing the leadership of Laodicean Adventism as represented in Ezekiel chapters eight and nine, and also in Isaiah chapter twenty-eight. In Isaiah the “scornful men” “made lies” their “refuge” and “hid” themselves “under falsehood.”

Mwaka 1989 “ongezeko la maarifa” lilifunuliwa ambalo hatimaye litaonyesha makundi mawili ya waabudu. Makundi hayo mawili yanaonyeshwa katika muktadha wa jinsi yanavyohusiana na ujumbe wa mvua ya mwisho. Waovu hawatambui wala kupokea mvua ya mwisho, lakini wenye hekima huipokea. Hivyo basi, waovu hawaoni wakati mvua ya mwisho inaanza kunyesha, na ilianza kunyesha wakati mataifa yalipokasirika tarehe 11 Septemba, 2001. Tumekuwa tukilihutubia uongozi wa Uadventista wa Laodikia kama unavyowakilishwa katika Ezekieli sura ya nane na ya tisa, na pia katika Isaya sura ya ishirini na nane. Katika Isaya, “watu wenye dharau” “walifanya uongo” kuwa “kimbilio” lao na “wakajificha” “chini ya udanganyifu.”

> Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. Isaiah 28:14, 15.

> Kwa hiyo, sikieni neno la Bwana, enyi wenye dhihaka, ninyi watawala wa watu hawa walioko Yerusalemu. Kwa kuwa mmesema, Tumefanya agano na mauti, nasi tumeafikiana na kuzimu; pigo kubwa litakapopita kama gharika, halitatufikia sisi; kwa maana tumeufanya uongo kuwa kimbilio letu, na chini ya udanganyifu tumejificha. Isaya 28:14, 15.

The ancient men of Jerusalem of the last days fail the test of “the rest and refreshing” that is represented by the methodology of “line upon line,” which allows the wise to recognize the latter rain of the last days, through the historical illustration of the latter rain in the Millerite history. The prophetic characteristic of “the scornful men” that Isaiah emphasizes in the passage, is the lies and falsehood that they hid under and made their refuge. Therefore, in connection with the test of the latter rain message (the rest and refreshing that they would not hear), the ancient men of Jerusalem have accepted a lie.

Wazee wa Yerusalemu wa siku za mwisho wanashindwa jaribio la “pumziko na kuburudishwa” linalowakilishwa na mbinu ya “mstari juu ya mstari,” ambayo inawawezesha wenye hekima kutambua mvua ya mwisho ya siku za mwisho, kupitia mfano wa kihistoria wa mvua ya mwisho katika historia ya Wamileraiti. Sifa ya kinabii ya “wadhihaki” ambayo Isaya anasisitiza katika kifungu hicho ni uongo na udanganyifu ambao walijificha chini yake na kuufanya kuwa kimbilio lao. Hivyo basi, kuhusiana na jaribio la ujumbe wa mvua ya mwisho (pumziko na kuburudishwa ambavyo hawakutaka kusikia), wazee wa Yerusalemu wameukubali uongo.

The latter rain message arrives with a debate, as represented in Habakkuk chapter two, when the watchman there asks God what he should answer in the “debate” of his history, for the word “reproved” in verse one of chapter two means “argued with”.

Ujumbe wa mvua ya mwisho huja pamoja na mjadala, kama inavyoonyeshwa katika Habakuki sura ya pili, wakati mlinzi pale anamwuliza Mungu nini anapaswa kujibu katika “mjadala” wa historia yake, kwa kuwa neno “reproved” katika mstari wa kwanza wa sura ya pili linamaanisha “kubishaniwa”.

> I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. Habakkuk 2:1.

> Nitasimama katika ulinzi wangu, na nitajiweka juu ya mnara, nitaangalia ili nione atakachoniambia, na nitakachojibu ninapokemewa. Habakuki 2:1.

The wise during the debate of the latter rain, present the truths represented as Miller’s jewels, which are also the foundational truths identified, established and presented by the Millerites. Those truths are represented as Christ, the Rock of Ages.

Wenye hekima, katika mjadala kuhusu mvua ya vuli, wanawasilisha kweli zinazowakilishwa kama vito vya Miller, ambazo pia ni kweli za msingi ambazo zilitambuliwa, zikaimarishwa na zikawasilishwa na wafuasi wa Miller. Kweli hizo zinawakilishwa kama Kristo, Mwamba wa Dahari.

> “Let those who stand as God’s watchmen on the walls of Zion be men who can see the dangers before the people,—men who can distinguish between truth and error, righteousness and unrighteousness.

> Wale wanaosimama kama walinzi wa Mungu kwenye kuta za Sayuni wawe watu wanaoweza kuona hatari zilizo mbele ya watu, watu wanaoweza kutofautisha kati ya kweli na upotovu, haki na udhalimu.

> “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.

> Onyo limekuja: Hakuna chochote kitakachoruhusiwa kuingia ambacho kitavuruga msingi wa imani ambao juu yake tumekuwa tukijenga tangu ujumbe ulipokuja mwaka 1842, 1843, na 1844. Nilikuwa katika ujumbe huu, na tangu hapo nimeendelea kusimama mbele ya ulimwengu, mwaminifu kwa nuru ambayo Mungu ametupa. Hatuna kusudio la kuondoa miguu yetu kutoka kwenye jukwaa ambalo miguu yetu iliwekwa siku baada ya siku tulipomtafuta Bwana kwa maombi ya bidii, tukitafuta nuru. Je, unadhani kwamba ningeweza kuiacha nuru ambayo Mungu amenipa? Inapaswa kuwa kama Mwamba wa Milele. Nuru hiyo imekuwa ikiniongoza tangu ilipotolewa. Review and Herald, Aprili 14, 1903.

The ancient men present a false latter rain message that is represented by Isaiah as a “lie” and a falsehood. In Ezekiel chapter eight, the history that identifies when the ancient men of Jerusalem are bowing to the sun, and are contrasted with those who receive the seal of God in the next chapter. The third abomination (generation), represents a false latter rain message, as represented by the “weeping for Tammuz.” In the third generation of Adventism, which began in 1919, a “lie” was introduced in connection with the false gospel publicly presented by W. W. Prescott at the 1919 Bible Conference. That “lie” is a specific subject of the third generation, and the “lie” is the false foundation of the false latter rain message, represented by the “weeping for Tammuz.”

Wazee wa kale wanawasilisha ujumbe wa uongo wa mvua ya mwisho unaotajwa na Isaya kuwa “uongo” na udanganyifu. Katika Ezekieli sura ya nane, kuna historia inayoonyesha wakati ambapo wazee wa Yerusalemu wanainama kuabudu jua, na wanatofautishwa na wale wanaopokea muhuri wa Mungu katika sura inayofuata. Chukizo la tatu (kizazi), linawakilisha ujumbe wa uongo wa mvua ya mwisho, kama linavyowakilishwa na “kulilia Tamuzi.” Katika kizazi cha tatu cha Uadventista, ambacho kilianza mwaka 1919, “uongo” uliingizwa kuhusiana na injili ya uongo iliyowasilishwa hadharani na W. W. Prescott katika Mkutano wa Biblia wa 1919. Huo “uongo” ni mada mahsusi ya kizazi cha tatu, na “uongo” huo ndio msingi wa uongo wa ujumbe wa uongo wa mvua ya mwisho, unaowakilishwa na “kulilia Tamuzi.”

It is important to spend time pinpointing the “lie” in prophecy, for the “lie” is the major reason Laodicean Adventism cannot see the increase of knowledge in 1989. The “lie” is that “the daily” in the book of Daniel represents Christ’s sanctuary ministry. Applying “the daily” prophetically as Christ’s sanctuary ministry is a false and incorrect prophetic application, but the “lie” is not simply identifying the false identification of “the daily” as a prophetic symbol, it also represents a “lie” that claims that Sister White agreed with the false application, and then using that falsehood to then establish the incorrect application as established truth.

Ni muhimu kutumia muda kubainisha "uongo" katika unabii, kwani "uongo" ndiyo sababu kuu kwa nini Uadventisti wa Laodikia hauwezi kuona ongezeko la maarifa mnamo 1989. "Uongo" ni kwamba "sadaka ya kila siku" katika kitabu cha Danieli inawakilisha huduma ya Kristo katika patakatifu. Kuitumia "sadaka ya kila siku" kinabii kama huduma ya Kristo katika patakatifu ni matumizi ya kinabii ya uongo na yasiyo sahihi, lakini "uongo" si tu kuiainisha kimakosa "sadaka ya kila siku" kama ishara ya kinabii; pia unawakilisha "uongo" unaodai kwamba Dada White alikubaliana na matumizi hayo ya uongo, na kisha kutumia uongo huo kuyathibitisha matumizi hayo yasiyo sahihi kama ukweli uliothibitishwa.

The correct understanding of the last six verses of Daniel eleven, have been typified by verses thirty to thirty-six, and when Sister White identifies the complete fulfillment of Daniel chapter eleven, she states that “scenes similar to those described” in verses thirty to thirty-six “will be repeated.”

Ufahamu sahihi wa aya sita za mwisho za Danieli sura ya kumi na moja umefananishwa na aya za thelathini hadi thelathini na sita, na Dada White anapobainisha utimilifu kamili wa Danieli sura ya kumi na moja, anasema kwamba "matukio yanayofanana na yale yaliyoelezwa" katika aya za thelathini hadi thelathini na sita "yatarudiwa."

Employing the false definition of “the daily,” produces a false historical structure. The history represented in Daniel chapter eleven, verses thirty to thirty-six, includes the taking away of “the daily.” “The daily” is either the Millerite application, or application of Prescott and Daniells. Depending on which application is chosen, two different historical structures will be produced.

Kutumia ufafanuzi wa uongo wa "the daily" kunazalisha muundo wa kihistoria wa uongo. Historia iliyowakilishwa katika Danieli sura ya kumi na moja, aya za thelathini hadi thelathini na sita, inajumuisha kuondolewa kwa "the daily." "The daily" ni aidha tafsiri ya Wamileraiti, au tafsiri ya Prescott na Daniells. Kulingana na tafsiri itakayochaguliwa, miundo miwili tofauti ya kihistoria itazalishwa.

> And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 11:31.

> Na majeshi yatainuka kwa upande wake, nao watanajisi patakatifu pa ngome, na wataiondoa dhabihu ya kila siku, nao wataweka chukizo la uharibifu. Danieli 11:31.

According to inspiration the prophetic history represented in this verse, and including verse thirty, and verses thirty-two through thirty-six is to be repeated in verses forty through forty-five of Daniel eleven.

Kwa mujibu wa uvuvio, historia ya kinabii iliyowakilishwa katika aya hii, na ikijumuisha aya ya thelathini, na aya za thelathini na mbili hadi thelathini na sita, itarudiwa katika aya za arobaini hadi arobaini na tano za Danieli sura ya kumi na moja.

> “The prophecy in the eleventh of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated. In the thirtieth verse a power is spoken of that ‘shall be grieved, [Daniel 11:30–36 quoted.]

> Unabii uliomo katika sura ya kumi na moja ya Danieli umekaribia kufikia utimilifu wake kamili. Sehemu kubwa ya historia iliyotokea katika kutimia kwa unabii huu itarudiwa. Katika aya ya thelathini, inasemwa juu ya mamlaka ambayo ‘itakata tamaa,’ [Danieli 11:30-36 imenukuliwa.]

> “Scenes similar to those described in these words will take place.” Manuscript Releases, number 13, 394.

> "Matukio yanayofanana na yale yaliyoelezwa katika maneno haya yatatokea." Manuscript Releases, nambari 13, 394.

The verse where we find “the daily,” is verse thirty-one.

Mstari ambao tunapata "the daily," ni mstari wa thelathini na moja.

> And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 11:31.

> Na majeshi yatainuka kwa upande wake, nao watanajisi patakatifu pa ngome, na wataiondoa dhabihu ya kila siku, nao wataweka chukizo la uharibifu. Danieli 11:31.

The “arms” in the verse stand up on “his part.” The “arms” are a power, as is the one they “stand up” for. It is the “arms” in the verse that “stand on his part,” and the “arms” that “pollute the sanctuary of strength,” and the “arms” “take away the daily” and it is also the “arms” that “place the abomination that maketh desolate.” In Revelation chapter thirteen, the dragon, which is pagan Rome provides three things for the papacy.

"Majeshi" katika aya yanasimama "upande wake". "Majeshi" ni nguvu, na vivyo hivyo pia ni nguvu yule wanayemsimamia. Ni "majeshi" katika aya ndiyo "yanayosimama upande wake", na ni "majeshi" ndiyo "yanayotia unajisi patakatifu pa nguvu", na ni "majeshi" "yanayoondoa ile ya kila siku" na pia ni "majeshi" ndiyo "yanayoweka chukizo la uharibifu". Katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi na tatu, yule joka, ambalo ni Roma ya kipagani, hutoa vitu vitatu kwa ajili ya upapa.

> And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 13:2.

> Na yule mnyama niliyemwona alikuwa kama chui, na miguu yake ilikuwa kama miguu ya dubu, na kinywa chake kama kinywa cha simba; na joka likampa nguvu zake, na kiti chake cha enzi, na mamlaka kuu. Ufunuo 13:2.

The leopard-like beast is identified by Sister White as the papacy, and in chapter twelve Sister White identifies that the dragon is both Satan, and also pagan Rome.

Mnyama mfano wa chui anatambuliwa na Dada White kuwa upapa, na katika sura ya kumi na mbili Dada White anabainisha kwamba joka ni wote wawili, yaani Shetani na Roma ya kipagani.

> “Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 439.

> Hivyo, ingawa joka kimsingi linamwakilisha Shetani, katika maana ya pili ni ishara ya Roma ya kipagani. Pambano Kuu, 439.

In verse two, of Revelation chapter thirteen, pagan Rome gave its military power, its “arms”, unto the papacy, beginning with Clovis king of the Franks (France), in the year 496. Pagan Rome gave papal Rome its seat of authority in the year 330, when the emperor Constantine vacated the city of Rome and moved the capitol of imperial Rome to the city of Constantinople. Pagan Rome gave the civil authority to the papacy in the year 533, when Justinian issued a decree identifying the papacy as the head of all the churches, and the corrector of heretics.

Katika aya ya pili ya Ufunuo sura ya kumi na tatu, Roma ya kipagani ilikabidhi nguvu zake za kijeshi, “silaha” zake, kwa Upapa, kuanzia na Clovis, mfalme wa Wafranki (Ufaransa), mwaka 496. Roma ya kipagani ilikabidhi Roma ya kipapa kiti chake cha mamlaka mwaka 330, wakati Kaizari Konstantino alipoacha jiji la Roma na kuhamisha mji mkuu wa Roma ya kifalme hadi jiji la Konstantinopoli. Roma ya kipagani ilikabidhi mamlaka ya kiraia kwa Upapa mwaka 533, wakati Justiniani alitoa amri iliyoutambua Upapa kuwa mkuu wa makanisa yote, na mrekebishaji wa wazushi.

In verse thirty-one the “arms” that stand up, are the military forces of pagan Rome, that stood up for the papacy beginning with Clovis in the year 496. For this act the papacy identifies France as the “first born of the Catholic church,” and sometimes as “the eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” In verse thirty-one, after Constantine passed a Sunday law in the year 321, and then moved the capital from the city of Rome unto the city of Constantinople in the year 330, the formerly invincible empire began to crumble, as the first four Trumpet powers of Revelation chapter eight began an ongoing warfare against the Roman empire. The focus of the attacks carried out by the Barbarians and Genseric were directed against the city of Rome, which before the year 330, had been the “sanctuary of strength” for the Roman empire. From the year 330 and onward invading barbarian warfare was to “pollute the sanctuary of strength,” until the “arms” of pagan Rome were to stand up for the papacy, beginning in the year 496.

Katika aya ya thelathini na moja, "mikono" inayosimama ni vikosi vya kijeshi vya Roma ya kipagani vilivyosimama kwa ajili ya upapa, kuanzia na Clovis mwaka 496. Kwa tendo hili upapa huitambua Ufaransa kama "mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Kanisa Katoliki," na wakati mwingine kama "binti mkubwa wa Kanisa Katoliki." Katika aya ya thelathini na moja, baada ya Konstantino kupitisha sheria ya Jumapili mwaka 321, kisha kuhamisha mji mkuu kutoka mji wa Roma hadi mji wa Konstantinopoli mwaka 330, himaya ambayo hapo awali haikuweza kushindwa ilianza kusambaratika, wakati nguvu nne za kwanza za Baragumu za Ufunuo sura ya nane zilipoanza vita vya kudumu dhidi ya himaya ya Kirumi. Lengo la mashambulizi yaliyofanywa na Wabarbaria na Genseric lilielekezwa dhidi ya mji wa Roma, ambao kabla ya mwaka 330 ulikuwa "mahali patakatifu pa nguvu" kwa himaya ya Kirumi. Kuanzia mwaka 330 na kuendelea, vita vya uvamizi vya Wabarbaria vilikuwa vikinajisi "mahali patakatifu pa nguvu," hadi "mikono" ya Roma ya kipagani iliposimama kwa ajili ya upapa, kuanzia mwaka 496.

Not only did pagan Rome provide three things for the papal power, by giving it the military power, the civil authority and the seat of the city of Rome, but it also removed three horns for papal Rome.

Si tu kwamba Roma ya kipagani iliipa mamlaka ya kipapa mambo matatu kwa kuipatia nguvu za kijeshi, mamlaka ya kiraia na makao katika mji wa Roma, bali pia iliing'olea Roma ya kipapa pembe tatu.

> I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Daniel 7:8.

> Nilitafakari kuhusu zile pembe, na tazama, palionuka miongoni mwao pembe nyingine ndogo, mbele yake ziling’olewa kwa mizizi pembe tatu za zile za kwanza; na tazama, katika pembe hii kulikuwa na macho kama macho ya mwanadamu, na kinywa kilichokuwa kikinena maneno makuu. Danieli 7:8.

The three horns that were to be “plucked up” in Daniel chapter seven, represented three primary powers that were resisting the rise of the papacy to power. The last of those three horns was removed when the Goths were driven from the city of Rome in the year 538. They were driven out of the city by the “arms” of pagan Rome, for those “arms” were to place the papacy (the abomination of desolation), on the throne of the then-known world in the year 538.

Pembe tatu zilizopaswa "kung'olewa" katika Danieli sura ya saba, ziliwakilisha nguvu kuu tatu zilizokuwa zikipingana na kupanda kwa upapa madarakani. Pembe ya mwisho kati ya zile tatu iliondolewa wakati Wagothi walipofukuzwa kutoka jiji la Roma mwaka 538. Walifukuzwa mjini na "mikono" ya Roma ya kipagani, kwa kuwa "mikono" hiyo ilikuwa kuiweka upapa (chukizo la uharibifu), juu ya kiti cha enzi cha ulimwengu uliokuwa ukijulikana wakati huo mwaka 538.

Verse thirty-one of Daniel eleven, identifies four things the “arms” (pagan Rome), were going to do. They were to “stand up” for the papacy, as they did in the year 496. They were to pollute the “sanctuary of strength” as represented by the military struggles that were carried out upon the city of Rome for roughly two centuries. They were to “place” the papacy on the throne of the earth in the year 538, and they were also to “take away the daily.”

Mstari wa thelathini na moja wa Danieli sura ya kumi na moja, unabainisha mambo manne ambayo “majeshi” (Roma ya kipagani) yalipaswa kufanya. Yalipaswa “kusimama” kwa ajili ya upapa, kama yalivyofanya mwaka 496. Yalipaswa kutia unajisi “patakatifu pa nguvu” kama kunavyowakilishwa na mapambano ya kijeshi yaliyotekelezwa katika jiji la Roma kwa takribani karne mbili. Yalipaswa “kuweka” upapa juu ya kiti cha enzi cha dunia mwaka 538, na pia “kuondoa kile cha kila siku.”

The Hebrew word translated as “take away” in the verse (sur), means “to remove”. By the year 508, the resistance from paganism that existed in the Roman empire, that had been working to prevent the rise of the papacy to power, had been fully brought into subjection or eliminated.

Neno la Kiebrania lililotafsiriwa kama "take away" katika aya (sur) linamaanisha "kuondoa". Kufikia mwaka 508, upinzani uliotoka kwa upagani uliokuwapo katika Dola ya Roma, ambao ulikuwa ukifanya kazi kuzuia kuinuka kwa upapa madarakani, ulikuwa umetiishwa kikamilifu au kutokomezwa.

To identify “the daily,” as Christ’s sanctuary ministry is a false application, but the actual work that was accomplished in Laodicean Adventist history that identified the false application as the truth, was based upon a specific “lie” that was accomplished in the third generation of Adventism. Sister White’s direction that the history of verses thirty to thirty-six will be repeated in the final fulfillment of Daniel eleven, made it impossible for “the scornful men” that rule Jerusalem to place an interpretation upon verse thirty-one without simultaneously rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy.

Ni matumizi potofu kuutambulisha "the daily" kama huduma ya Kristo katika patakatifu, lakini kazi halisi iliyofanywa katika historia ya Uadventista wa Laodikia iliyoyafanya hayo matumizi potofu yaonekane kuwa kweli, ilitegemea "uongo" maalum uliotendeka katika kizazi cha tatu cha Uadventista. Maelekezo ya Dada White kwamba historia ya mistari thelathini hadi thelathini na sita itarudiwa katika utimizaji wa mwisho wa Danieli kumi na moja, yaliifanya isiwezekane kwa "wanaume wenye dharau" wanaotawala Yerusalemu kuweka tafsiri juu ya mstari wa thelathini na moja bila wakati huohuo kuukataa Roho ya Unabii.

The “scornful men” teach that the papacy took away the true understanding of Christ’s sanctuary ministry, by the introduction of the papal mass, which is a counterfeit of Christ’s work in the heavenly sanctuary. If this were the actual meaning of “the daily,” then the “arms” that stood up in verse thirty-one would be the papacy, for the grammatical structure of the verse demands that the “arms” are the power that takes away “the daily.”

"Wanaume wenye dharau" hufundisha kwamba upapa uliondoa uelewa wa kweli wa huduma ya Kristo katika patakatifu, kwa kuanzishwa kwa misa ya kipapa, ambayo ni kiigizo bandia cha kazi ya Kristo katika patakatifu pa mbinguni. Ikiwa hii ndiyo maana halisi ya "kile cha kila siku", basi "majeshi" yaliyosimama katika mstari wa thelathini na moja yangekuwa upapa, kwa maana muundo wa kisarufi wa mstari huo unadai kwamba "majeshi" ndiyo nguvu zinazoondoa "kile cha kila siku".

In order to uphold their dish of fables, they argue that the papacy (arms) polluted Christ’s heavenly sanctuary. The Hebrew word translated as “sanctuary (miqdash) of strength” is either a pagan sanctuary or God’s sanctuary. If Daniel wanted to convey that God’s sanctuary was to be polluted by the papacy, he would have employed the Hebrew word “qodesh”, which can only represent God’s sanctuary. So where is it recorded in the Bible or the Spirit of Prophecy that the heavenly sanctuary ever was or ever will be, polluted by the papacy?

Ili kudumisha sahani yao ya hadithi za uongo, wanasema kwamba upapa (mikono) ulitia unajisi mahali patakatifu pa mbinguni pa Kristo. Neno la Kiebrania linalotafsiriwa kama "patakatifu (miqdash) la nguvu" ni ama mahali patakatifu pa kipagani au mahali patakatifu pa Mungu. Kama Danieli alitaka kuonesha kwamba mahali patakatifu pa Mungu pangetiwa unajisi na upapa, angekuwa ametumia neno la Kiebrania "qodesh", ambalo linaweza kuwakilisha tu mahali patakatifu pa Mungu. Basi, imeandikwa wapi katika Biblia au katika Roho ya Unabii kwamba mahali patakatifu pa mbinguni paliwahi, au patawahi, kutiwa unajisi na upapa?

Certainly, the sins of Christians are registered in the books of the heavenly sanctuary, but that representation does not mean God’s sanctuary was polluted. The cleansing of the sanctuary represented the cleansing of the record books that are located in the sanctuary. Furthermore, the papal power has never been Christian, so it has never been entered into the books of the investigative judgment. The only judgment identified for the papacy is the executive judgment of God’s wrath.

Kwa hakika, dhambi za Wakristo zimeandikwa katika vitabu vya patakatifu pa mbinguni, lakini uwakilishi huo haimaanishi kwamba patakatifu pa Mungu palitiwa unajisi. Kutakaswa kwa patakatifu kuliwakilisha kutakaswa kwa vitabu vya kumbukumbu vilivyoko katika patakatifu. Zaidi ya hayo, mamlaka ya kipapa haijawahi kuwa ya Kikristo, hivyo haijawahi kuingizwa katika vitabu vya hukumu ya uchunguzi. Hukumu pekee iliyotambuliwa kwa ajili ya upapa ni hukumu ya utekelezaji ya ghadhabu ya Mungu.

The “arms” also were to “place the abomination that maketh desolate,” which would be what power? What power did the papacy place? And what power is it, in the very opening of verse thirty-one that the papacy stood up for?

"Mikono" pia yalipaswa "kuweka chukizo lifanyalo ukiwa," ambalo lingekuwa mamlaka gani? Upapa uliweka mamlaka gani? Na ni mamlaka gani hiyo, mwanzoni kabisa wa aya ya thelathini na moja, ambayo upapa ulisimama kwa ajili yake?

The unlearned in Laodicean Adventism who have placed their eternal life into the hands of men who have been identified as being unable to read the book that is sealed, may be comfortable having their itching ears soothed with that type of corrupted biblical application, but it is even more absurd to try and take the history they must identify to uphold their error, and align it with the last six verses of Daniel eleven.

Wasioelimika katika Uadventista wa Laodikia ambao wameweka uzima wao wa milele mikononi mwa watu waliotambuliwa kuwa hawawezi kusoma kitabu kilichotiwa muhuri, huenda wakahisi raha masikio yao yanayowasha yakitulizwa kwa aina hiyo ya matumizi ya kibiblia yaliyopotoka, lakini ni upuuzi hata zaidi kujaribu kuchukua historia wanayopaswa kuitambua ili kudumisha kosa lao, na kuilinganisha na mistari sita ya mwisho ya Danieli kumi na moja.

In the history leading up to the collapse of the Soviet Union, which can be shown to be represented as the King of the South in verse forty of Daniel eleven, the military strength of the United States stood up for the papacy, as Ronald Reagan formed a secret alliance with the antichrist of Bible prophecy. In so doing, it signaled that any Protestant resistance to the rise of the papacy had been subdued in the United States, as typified by the removal of the resistance of paganism in the year 508. The King of the North (the papacy) in the passage first swept away the Soviet Union in 1989, and did so in partnership with “chariots” and “horseman,” representing the military strength of the United States, and also with the economic strength of the United States as represented by the “ships.”

Katika historia iliyopelekea kusambaratika kwa Umoja wa Kisovyeti, ambao unaweza kuonyeshwa kuwa unawakilishwa kama Mfalme wa Kusini katika mstari wa arobaini wa Danieli kumi na moja, nguvu za kijeshi za Marekani zilisimama kuutetea upapa, kwani Ronald Reagan aliunda muungano wa siri na Mpinga-Kristo wa unabii wa Biblia. Kwa kufanya hivyo, kitendo hicho kilitoa ishara kwamba upinzani wowote wa Kiprotestanti dhidi ya kuinuka kwa upapa ulikuwa umekandamizwa nchini Marekani, kama ilivyodhihirishwa na kuondolewa kwa upinzani wa upagani mwaka 508. Mfalme wa Kaskazini (upapa) katika kifungu hicho kwanza aliufagia mbali Umoja wa Kisovyeti mwaka 1989, na alifanya hivyo kwa ushirika na "magari ya vita" na "wapanda farasi," vinavyowakilisha nguvu za kijeshi za Marekani, na pia kwa nguvu za kiuchumi za Marekani kama zinazowakilishwa na "meli."

The United States was the “arms” that stood up for the papacy. Protestantism was taken away, just as the resistance of paganism was subdued by the year 508. In verse forty-one the United States will be conquered by the papacy, and the Constitution of the United States, which is the “sanctuary of strength” of the United States will be overturned as the United States places the King of the North (the papacy), upon the throne of the earth, as did pagan Rome in 538. If you are reading the articles on this website, then you can download The Time of the End magazine, and read a more thorough presentation of the last six verses of Daniel eleven, but we are now simply identifying that the identification of “the daily,” as Christ’s sanctuary ministry is a false application of the symbol. We are doing this in order to show that the false application was brought upon Laodicean Adventism by a purposeful lie.

Marekani ilikuwa “nguvu za kijeshi” zilizoinuka kumuunga mkono upapa. Uprotestanti uliondolewa, kama vile upinzani wa upagani ulivyotiishwa kufikia mwaka 508. Katika aya ya arobaini na moja, Marekani itashindwa na upapa, na Katiba ya Marekani, ambayo ndiyo “mahali patakatifu pa nguvu” pa Marekani, itapinduliwa wakati Marekani itakapomweka Mfalme wa Kaskazini (upapa) juu ya kiti cha enzi cha dunia, kama vile Roma ya kipagani ilivyofanya mwaka 538. Ikiwa unasoma makala kwenye tovuti hii, basi unaweza kupakua jarida The Time of the End, na kusoma uwasilishaji wa kina zaidi wa aya sita za mwisho za Danieli kumi na moja, lakini sasa tunatambua tu kwamba kuitambua “cha kila siku” kuwa ndiyo huduma ya Kristo katika patakatifu ni matumizi potofu ya ishara. Tunafanya hivi ili kuonyesha kwamba matumizi hayo ya uongo yaliletwa juu ya Uadventista wa Laodikia kupitia uongo wa makusudi.

We will continue to consider the prophetic lie in the next article.

Tutaendelea kuzingatia uongo wa kinabii katika makala ijayo.

> “We have no time to lose. Troublous times are before us. The world is stirred with the spirit of war. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the prophecies will take place. The prophecy in the eleventh of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated.

> Hatuna muda wa kupoteza. Nyakati za taabu ziko mbele yetu. Dunia imechochewa na roho ya vita. Hivi karibuni matukio ya dhiki yaliyotajwa katika unabii yatatokea. Unabii katika sura ya kumi na moja ya Danieli umekaribia kutimia kikamilifu. Sehemu kubwa ya historia iliyotokea katika kutimia kwa unabii huu itajirudia.

> “In the thirtieth verse a power is spoken of that ‘shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.’ Daniel 11:30–36.

> Katika aya ya thelathini, kunatajwa nguvu ambayo ‘itahuzunika, na kurudi, na kuwa na ghadhabu juu ya agano takatifu; ndivyo atakavyofanya; tena atarudi, na kuwa na mashauri na wale walioacha agano takatifu. Na majeshi yatasimama upande wake, nayo yatanajisi mahali patakatifu pa ngome, na yataondoa dhabihu ya kila siku, nao wataweka chukizo lileletalo ukiwa. Nao wafanyao uovu dhidi ya agano atawapotosha kwa maneno ya kujipendekeza; bali watu waujuao Mungu wao watakuwa hodari, na watafanya mambo makuu. Na wenye ufahamu miongoni mwa watu watawafundisha wengi; ilhali wataanguka kwa upanga, na kwa moto, kwa utekwa, na kwa kuporwa, siku nyingi. Na watakapoanguka, watasaidiwa kwa msaada mdogo; lakini wengi watajifungamanisha nao kwa kujipendekeza. Na baadhi ya wenye ufahamu miongoni mwao wataanguka, ili kuwajaribu, na kuwasafisha, na kuwafanya weupe, hata wakati wa mwisho; kwa kuwa bado ni kwa wakati uliowekwa. Naye mfalme atafanya sawasawa na mapenzi yake; naye atajitukuza, na kujikweza juu ya kila mungu, naye atanena mambo ya ajabu kinyume cha Mungu wa miungu, naye atafanikiwa hata ghadhabu itakapokamilika; kwa maana lililoamuliwa litatendwa.’ Danieli 11:30-36.

> “Scenes similar to those described in these words will take place. We see evidence that Satan is fast obtaining the control of human minds who have not the fear of God before them. Let all read and understand the prophecies of this book, for we are now entering upon the time of trouble spoken of:

> Matukio yanayofanana na yale yaliyoelezwa katika maneno haya yatatokea. Tunaona ushahidi kwamba Shetani anapata kwa haraka udhibiti wa akili za wanadamu wasiomcha Mungu. Wote wasome na waelewe unabii wa kitabu hiki, kwa maana sasa tunaingia katika wakati wa taabu uliotajwa:

> “‘And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.’ Daniel 12:1–4.” Manuscript Releases, number 13, 394.

> "'Na wakati huo Mikaeli atasimama, yule mkuu asimamaye kwa ajili ya wana wa watu wako; na kutakuwapo wakati wa taabu, ambayo haijawahi kuwako tangu kulipokuwapo taifa hata wakati uo huo; na wakati huo watu wako wataokolewa, kila mmoja atakayepatikana ameandikwa katika kitabu. Na wengi wa hao waliolala katika mavumbi ya nchi wataamka, wengine kwa uzima wa milele, na wengine kwa aibu na dharau ya milele. Na wenye hekima watang'aa kama uangavu wa anga; na wale waongozao wengi katika haki watang'aa kama nyota milele na milele. Lakini wewe, Ee Danieli, funga maneno haya, na tia muhuri kitabu, hata wakati wa mwisho; wengi wataenda huku na huku, na maarifa yataongezeka.' Danieli 12:1-4." Manuscript Releases, nambari 13, 394.
