In William Miller’s dream, the “bustle” at the beginning, when the people began to trouble the jewels was preceded by Miller assembling the jewels and calling “come and see.” Christ as the dirt brush man, uses the broom to sweep out the rubbish, assemble the jewels in a much larger casket, and He then called Miller to “come and see.” When Christ begins His broom-work, the room is empty, for Miller recorded that a “door opened, and a man entered the room, when the people all left it; and he, having a dirt brush in his hand, opened the windows, and began to brush the dirt and rubbish from the room.”

Katika ndoto ya William Miller, “mtafaruku” wa mwanzoni, wakati watu walipoanza kuvisumbua vito, ulitanguliwa na Miller kukusanya vito na kuita “njooni mkaone.” Kristo, akiwa kama yule mtu mwenye kifagio cha vumbi, hutumia fagio kufagia na kutoa takataka, hukusanya vito katika kasha kubwa zaidi sana, kisha humwita Miller “njoo uone.” Wakati Kristo anapoanza kazi yake ya kufagia, chumba huwa tupu, kwa kuwa Miller alinakili kwamba “mlango ukafunguka, na mtu akaingia chumbani, watu wote wakakitoka; naye, akiwa na kifagio cha vumbi mkononi, akafungua madirisha, akaanza kufagia vumbi na takataka kutoka chumbani.”

The dirt brush man enters the room when all the people had left it. In 2023, the dirt brush man entered the empty room, for the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand had been shattered and scattered. The truths represented by Habakkuk’s Tables of 2012 was buried in rubbish, and the room was empty. The dirt brush man is He who came after John the Baptist, who John said had a fan, and that He would use that fan to thoroughly purge His floor.

Mtu wa kifagio cha uchafu huingia chumbani baada ya watu wote kuondoka humo. Mwaka 2023, mtu wa kifagio cha uchafu aliingia katika chumba kilichokuwa tupu, kwa kuwa harakati ya wale mia arobaini na nne elfu ilikuwa imevunjwavunjwa na kutawanywa. Kweli zilizowakilishwa na Majedwali ya Habakuki ya mwaka 2012 zilikuwa zimezikwa katika takataka, na chumba kilikuwa tupu. Mtu wa kifagio cha uchafu ni Yeye aliyekuja baada ya Yohana Mbatizaji, ambaye Yohana alisema ana pepeto, na kwamba atalitumia pepeto hilo kuusafisha kabisa uwanda wake wa kupuria.

> I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Matthew 3:11–13.

> Hakika mimi nawabatiza kwa maji kwa ajili ya toba; lakini ajaye nyuma yangu ana nguvu kuliko mimi, ambaye sistahili kuvichukua viatu vyake; yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwa moto; pepeto lake liko mkononi mwake, naye atasafisha kabisa sakafu yake ya kupuria, na atakusanya ngano yake ghalani; bali makapi atayateketeza kwa moto usiozimika. Ndipo Yesu akaja kutoka Galilaya mpaka Yordani kwa Yohana, ili abatizwe naye. Mathayo 3:11-13.

Galilee is a symbol of a turning point, and the point on the Jordan where Jesus came to be baptized is named Bethabara, and it means “the ferry crossing,” and it marks the place where ancient Israel crossed over to the Promised Land. When Jesus was baptized, He then became Jesus Christ. Galilee, Jordan, Bethabara and Jesus becoming the Christ are all emphasizing a change of dispensation, which is also what a door represents, especially for Philadelphians who are given the key of the open and shut door.

Galilaya ni ishara ya hatua ya mabadiliko, na sehemu ya Mto Yordani ambako Yesu alikuja kubatizwa huitwa Bethabara; jina hilo linamaanisha “kivuko,” na linatambulisha mahali ambapo Israeli ya kale ilivuka kuingia Nchi ya Ahadi. Yesu alipobatizwa, ndipo akawa Yesu Kristo. Galilaya, Yordani, Bethabara, na Yesu kuwa Kristo vyote vinatilia mkazo mabadiliko ya enzi, ambayo pia ndiyo yanayoashiriwa na mlango, hasa kwa Wafiladelfia waliopewa ufunguo wa mlango unaofunguliwa na kufungwa.

> And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Revelation 3:7, 8.

> Na kwa malaika wa kanisa lililo Filadelfia andika; Haya anasema yeye aliye mtakatifu, aliye wa kweli, mwenye ufunguo wa Daudi, afunguaye, wala hakuna awezaye kufunga; naye afungaye, wala hakuna awezaye kufungua; Nayajua matendo yako: tazama, nimeweka mbele yako mlango uliofunguliwa, wala hakuna awezaye kuufunga; kwa kuwa una nguvu kidogo, nawe umelishika neno langu, wala hukuikana jina langu. Ufunuo 3:7, 8.

When Christ “opened” the “door” and “entered the room,” the room was “His room,” for He thoroughly purges “His floor.” If it is His floor, it is His room.

Wakati Kristo "alipofungua" "mlango" na "akaingia chumbani," chumba hicho kilikuwa "Chumba Chake," kwa maana Yeye Anaisafisha kikamilifu "Sakafu Yake." Ikiwa ni Sakafu Yake, ni Chumba Chake.

> “At Capernaum Jesus dwelt in the intervals of His journeys to and fro, and it came to be known as ‘His own city.’ It was on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, and near the borders of the beautiful plain of Gennesaret, if not actually upon it.” The Desire of Ages, 252.

> Huko Kapernaumu Yesu alikaa katikati ya safari Zake za kwenda na kurudi, na pakaja kujulikana kama ‘mji Wake mwenyewe.’ Ulikuwa kando ya Bahari ya Galilaya, na karibu na mipaka ya tambarare nzuri ya Genesareti, kama si juu ya tambarare hiyo kabisa. Tamaa ya Vizazi Vyote, 252.

He enters His room to gather His wheat and to gather and burn the tares. The change of dispensation represented by Galilee, Jordan, Bethabara, the baptism, the transition from John to Jesus aligns with the transition of the church militant of Laodicea unto the church triumphant of Philadelphia. He entered His room in July of 2023. Miller had closed his eyes in the bustle of July 18, 2020, and when he opened his eyes, the room was empty of people; truth was buried beneath error, and then the dirt brush man opened the windows and began to sweep the rubbish out.

Anaingia chumbani Mwake ili kukusanya ngano Yake, na kukusanya magugu na kuyachoma. Mabadiliko ya enzi yanayowakilishwa na Galilaya, Yordani, Bethabara, ubatizo, mpito kutoka kwa Yohana kwenda kwa Yesu, yanalingana na mpito wa kanisa linalopigana la Laodikia hadi kanisa lenye ushindi la Filadelfia. Aliingia chumbani Mwake mnamo Julai 2023. Miller alikuwa amefumba macho yake katika mshuguliko wa tarehe 18 Julai 2020, na alipozifumbua macho yake, chumba kilikuwa kimebaki tupu bila watu; kweli ilikuwa imezikwa chini ya upotofu; ndipo yule mtu mwenye kifagio cha vumbi akafungua madirisha na kuanza kufagia uchafu nje.

> “‘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.

> "'Ambaye pepeto lake lipo mkononi mwake, naye atasafisha kabisa uwanja wake wa kupuria, na kukusanya ngano yake ghalani.' Mathayo 3:12. Huu ulikuwa mmojawapo wa nyakati za kusafisha. Kwa maneno ya kweli, makapi yalikuwa yakitenganishwa na ngano. Kwa sababu walikuwa na majivuno na kujiona wenye haki kupita kiasi kiasi kwamba hawakuweza kupokea maonyo, na wapenda dunia mno kiasi kwamba hawakukubali maisha ya unyenyekevu, wengi walimwacha Yesu. Wengi bado wanafanya hivyo. Nafsi zinajaribiwa leo kama vile wale wanafunzi katika sinagogi la Kapernaumu walivyojaribiwa. Wakati kweli inaletiwa moyoni, wanaona kwamba maisha yao hayapatani na mapenzi ya Mungu. Wanaona haja ya mabadiliko kamili ndani yao; lakini hawako tayari kuichukua kazi ya kujikana nafsi. Kwa hiyo wanakasirika dhambi zao zinapofunuliwa. Huondoka wakiudhika, kama vile wanafunzi walivyomwacha Yesu, wakinung'unika, 'Haya ni maneno magumu; ni nani awezaye kuyasikia?'" The Desire of Ages, 392.

On the last day of 2023, which touches the first day of 2024, the Lion of the tribe of Judah began to progressively unseal the revelation of Himself. In accordance with the three-step testing process of Daniel twelve’s unsealing, there would then be three tests, represented as “purified, made white and tried.”

Siku ya mwisho ya 2023, inayogusana na siku ya kwanza ya 2024, Simba wa kabila la Yuda alianza kufungua kwa hatua kwa hatua mihuri ya ufunuo Wake Mwenyewe. Kwa mujibu wa mchakato wa kujaribiwa wa hatua tatu wa kufunguliwa kwa Danieli kumi na mbili, ndipo kungekuwapo majaribu matatu, yanayowakilishwa kama “kusafishwa, kutiwa weupe, na kujaribiwa.”

> 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.

The first angel represents purification, as the convicted sinner places his sins upon the sacrifice in the courtyard, where he is justified by the blood.

Malaika wa kwanza anawakilisha utakaso, kama vile mwenye dhambi aliyesadikishwa anavyoweka dhambi zake juu ya dhabihu katika ua wa hema, ambamo anahesabiwa haki kwa damu.

The blood is then taken into the holy place where the sanctification process of holiness is represented as being made white through the washing of the blood from the courtyard. Righteousness is there manifested in those who overcome with the blood and the word of their testimony.

Kisha damu hupelekwa katika mahali patakatifu, ambako mchakato wa utakaso wa utakatifu unaakisiwa kama kufanywa weupe kwa kuoshwa kwa damu itokayo uani. Haki humo hudhihirishwa katika wale wanaoshinda kwa damu na kwa neno la ushuhuda wao.

They are then tried, and in the latter days they are found to be ten times better than all the other wise men of Babylon. The third test is where they are glorified in the Most Holy Place and distinguished from the other class of professed wise men. That third test is the Sunday law, and the first test is the first angel’s call to return to the foundations, for in the next step the temple is erected. That next step is the second angel’s separation message, which is followed by the litmus test of the third angel.

Kisha wanajaribiwa, na katika siku za mwisho wanapatikana kuwa bora mara kumi kuliko wenye hekima wengine wote wa Babeli. Jaribio la tatu ndiko wanapotukuzwa katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu na kutofautishwa na darasa jingine la wenye kudai kuwa wenye hekima. Jaribio hilo la tatu ni sheria ya Jumapili, na jaribio la kwanza ni mwito wa malaika wa kwanza wa kurudi katika misingi, kwa kuwa katika hatua inayofuata hekalu linajengwa. Hatua hiyo inayofuata ni ujumbe wa utengano wa malaika wa pili, unaofuatwa na jaribio la lakmusi la malaika wa tatu.

In 2023, the first angel arrived as He had done on August 11, 1840, when he came down with a message of Islam of the second woe. He came down as He had done at 9/11, with a message of Islam of the third woe, and the call to return to the old paths. The foundations of Millerite history were set up once the message of the second woe was fulfilled on August 11, 1840. The angel of Revelation chapter ten then descended, thus typifying the descent of the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen and the arrival of the third woe.

Mnamo 2023, malaika wa kwanza alifika kama alivyokuwa amefanya mnamo Agosti 11, 1840, aliposhuka akiwa na ujumbe kuhusu Uislamu wa ole la pili. Alishuka kama alivyokuwa amefanya katika tukio la 9/11, akiwa na ujumbe kuhusu Uislamu wa ole la tatu, na mwito wa kurudi katika njia za zamani. Misingi ya historia ya Wamilleraiti iliwekwa mara tu ujumbe wa ole la pili ulipotimizwa mnamo Agosti 11, 1840. Kisha malaika wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi akashuka, hivyo akiwasilisha kwa mfano kushuka kwa malaika wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane na kuwasili kwa ole la tatu.

Josiah Litch is the historical figured associated with the foundations being established on August 11, 1840. The name “Josiah” means “the foundation of God,” and king Josiah in sacred history represents Josiah’s reformation, which included the discovery of the curse of Moses, buried among the rubbish in the sanctuary, just as Miller’s jewels were buried in the room.

Josiah Litch ni mhusika wa kihistoria anayehusishwa na kusimikwa kwa misingi mnamo Agosti 11, 1840. Jina “Yosia” lina maana ya “msingi wa Mungu,” na mfalme Yosia katika historia takatifu anawakilisha mageuzi ya Yosia, ambayo yalijumuisha kugunduliwa kwa laana ya Musa, iliyokuwa imezikwa miongoni mwa taka hekaluni, kama vile vito vya Miller vilivyokuwa vimezikwa chumbani.

King Josiah died at Megiddo, which is Armageddon of Revelation chapter sixteen. The reformation of Josiah was a fulfillment of the prophecy set forth by the disobedient prophet, when Jeroboam set up the two altars in Bethel and Dan. That disobedient prophet died between the ass and the lion. King Josiah had been predicted, by name, and his reformation was part of the prediction, which included that the future king Josiah would beat down the very altar where the disobedient prophet confronted the wicked king Jeroboam.

Mfalme Yosia alikufa huko Megido, ambalo ndilo Haramagedoni la Ufunuo sura ya kumi na sita. Matengenezo ya Yosia yalikuwa utimilifu wa unabii uliotamkwa na nabii asiye mtiifu, wakati Yeroboamu aliposimamisha madhabahu mawili katika Betheli na Dani. Nabii yule asiye mtiifu alikufa kati ya punda na simba. Mfalme Yosia alikuwa ametajwa kwa jina, na matengenezo yake yalikuwa sehemu ya unabii huo, uliowemo kwamba mfalme Yosia ajaye angebomoa madhabahu ile ile ambapo yule nabii asiye mtiifu alimkabili mfalme mwovu Yeroboamu.

Josiah means the foundation of God, and king Josiah fulfilled the prediction given about 340 years before his reign. He led out in a revival and reformation that ultimately arrived at the altar where the prophet from Judah confronted king Jeroboam. Once there, Josiah smashed the altar down, as the prophecy said he would do. Those two altars of Jeroboam were purposeful counterfeits of the temple in Jerusalem, even to the depth that Jeroboam instituted counterfeit feast days. In doing so, he was simply doing what Aaron did with the golden calf. Aaron’s rebellion was at the foundation of ancient Israel’s sacred history. It occurred when Moses was receiving the Law, which is the foundation of God’s government.

Yosia maana yake ni msingi wa Mungu, na mfalme Yosia alitimiza utabiri uliotolewa takribani miaka 340 kabla ya utawala wake. Aliongoza uamsho na mageuzi yaliyomfikisha hatimaye kwenye madhabahu pale ambapo nabii kutoka Yuda alimkabili mfalme Yeroboamu. Alipofika hapo, Yosia akaibomoa madhabahu hiyo, kama unabii ulivyokuwa umesema angefanya. Madhabahu yale mawili ya Yeroboamu yalikuwa nakala bandia zilizokusudiwa za hekalu la Yerusalemu, hata kufikia hatua ya Yeroboamu kuanzisha sikukuu bandia. Kwa kufanya hivyo, alikuwa akitenda tu kile ambacho Aroni alikitenda kwa ndama wa dhahabu. Uasi wa Aroni ulikuwa katika msingi wa historia takatifu ya Israeli ya kale. Ulitokea wakati Mose alipokuwa akipokea Sheria, ambayo ndiyo msingi wa utawala wa Mungu.

Aaron’s rebellion was a foundational rebellion, and it was repeated when Jeroboam founded the ten northern tribes as Israel. Moses rebuked Aaron, and Moses is the alpha, or foundation in relation to Christ the omega. Aaron and Moses represent two classes in the foundational rebellion and a third class are the heroes who stood with Moses—the Levites. King Jeroboam and the prophet from Judah are the two classes in the foundation rebellion of the northern kingdom, and once again the Levites are the heroes.

Uasi wa Haruni ulikuwa uasi wa msingi, na ulirudiwa wakati Yeroboamu alipoasisi makabila kumi ya kaskazini kama Israeli. Musa alimkemea Haruni, na Musa ndiye Alfa, au msingi, katika uhusiano na Kristo aliye Omega. Haruni na Musa wanawakilisha makundi mawili katika uasi wa msingi, na kundi la tatu ni mashujaa waliosimama pamoja na Musa—Walawi. Mfalme Yeroboamu na nabii kutoka Yuda ndio makundi mawili katika uasi wa msingi wa ufalme wa kaskazini, na tena Walawi ndio mashujaa.

At Jeroboam’s foundational rebellion the prophet from Judah rebukes him and prophesies of a king that would be named “the foundation of God”—Josiah. The fulfillment of the predicted reformation included that when Josiah began his revival and reformation, the curse of Moses was discovered, and the reading of the sacred words of Moses empowered a revival and reformation that had already begun. Josiah, clearly a prophetic symbol, represents a revival and reformation that is empowered when a prophecy from the writings of Moses is discovered.

Katika uasi wa msingi wa Yeroboamu, nabii kutoka Yuda anamkemea na anatabiri kuhusu mfalme ambaye angeitwa “msingi wa Mungu”—Yosia. Utimizaji wa mageuzi yaliyotabiriwa ulihusisha kwamba Yosia alipoanza uamsho na mageuzi yake, laana ya Musa iligunduliwa, na usomaji wa maneno matakatifu ya Musa ukatia nguvu uamsho na mageuzi yaliyokuwa tayari yameanza. Yosia, akiwa wazi kama ishara ya kinabii, anawakilisha uamsho na mageuzi yanayotiliwa nguvu wakati unabii kutoka katika maandiko ya Musa unapogunduliwa.

The foundational rebellion in the story of king Jeroboam is represented by the king of Israel, and also by the prophet from Judah who was sent with a divine pronouncement against Jeroboam’s foundational rebellion and instructions for the prophet identifying which path to avoid when returning to Judah. The prophet from Judah rejects Jeroboam’s request to stay, but thereafter accepts the invitation of the lying prophet of Bethel, and seals his fate. The disobedient prophet would die between the ass and the lion, and then be buried in the tomb of the lying prophet.

Uasi wa msingi katika simulizi la mfalme Yeroboamu unawakilishwa na mfalme wa Israeli, na pia na nabii kutoka Yuda, aliyekuwa ametumwa na tamko la kimungu dhidi ya uasi wa msingi wa Yeroboamu, pamoja na maagizo kwa nabii yanayobainisha ni njia ipi asiipitie atakaporudi Yuda. Nabii huyo kutoka Yuda anakataa ombi la Yeroboamu la kukaa, lakini baadaye anakubali mwaliko wa nabii wa uongo wa Betheli, na hivyo kuutia muhuri hatima yake. Nabii asiye mtii hatimaye akafa kati ya punda na simba, kisha akazikwa katika kaburi la nabii wa uongo.

On August 11, 1840, a prophecy of the second woe was fulfilled, and the foundations of Adventism was laid. Josiah Litch presented the prophecy in 1838, and then ten days before August 11, 1840 he fined tuned his calculations and predicted August 11, 1840, as the day the Ottoman supremacy would cease, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Islam of the second woe.

Tarehe 11 Agosti 1840, unabii wa ole wa pili ulitimizwa, na misingi ya Uadventista ikawekwa. Josiah Litch aliwasilisha unabii huo mwaka 1838, kisha siku kumi kabla ya tarehe 11 Agosti 1840 alirekebisha kwa makini hesabu zake na kutabiri tarehe 11 Agosti 1840 kuwa ndiyo siku ambayo ukuu wa Dola ya Othmani ungekoma, kwa utimilifu wa unabii wa Uislamu wa ole wa pili.

King Josiah symbolizes the final revival and reformation, for every prophet speaks more directly of the latter days, than any prior days. King Josiah symbolizes the final revival and reformation, and that reformation has been set forth in the Bible by a prediction. The book of Joel identifies the final revival and reformation that takes place among those who will be the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Josiah’s revival was two steps, it began, then a prophecy was unsealed that added momentum to the work. The two steps are the early and latter rain, as set forth in the book of Joel, and fulfilled in the books of Acts, and then fulfilled again in the Millerite history.

Mfalme Yosia anawakilisha ufufuo na marekebisho ya mwisho, kwa kuwa kila nabii hunena kwa uwazi zaidi kuhusu siku za mwisho kuliko kuhusu siku zozote za awali. Mfalme Yosia anawakilisha ufufuo na marekebisho ya mwisho, na hayo marekebisho yamewekwa wazi katika Biblia kwa unabii. Kitabu cha Yoeli kinaainisha ufufuo na marekebisho ya mwisho yatakayofanyika miongoni mwa wale watakaokuwa laki moja na arobaini na nne elfu. Ufufuo wa Yosia ulikuwa wa hatua mbili; ulianza, kisha unabii ulifunuliwa uliouongezea kazi hiyo msukumo. Hatua hizo mbili ni mvua ya vuli na ya masika, kama ilivyoainishwa katika kitabu cha Yoeli, na kutimizwa katika kitabu cha Matendo ya Mitume, kisha kutimizwa tena katika historia ya Wamileraiti.

At the foundational rebellions of Aaron, king Jeroboam and the prophet from Judah to king Josiah, and then on to Josiah Litch, identifies a line of testimony concerning the foundational test. The foundational test is the first test, that is followed by the temple test when the capstone is placed. After that the third test, the litmus test arrives.

Katika maasi ya msingi ya Haruni, ya mfalme Yeroboamu na ya nabii kutoka Yuda, hadi kwa mfalme Yosia, na kisha hadi kwa Josiah Litch, kunatambuliwa mstari wa ushuhuda kuhusu jaribio la msingi. Jaribio la msingi ndilo jaribio la kwanza, linalofuatwa na jaribio la hekalu wakati jiwe la kilele linawekwa. Baada ya hapo, jaribio la tatu, jaribio la litmusi, huwasili.

From the golden calf, unto Jeroboam’s altars at Bethel and Dan, to king Josiah, unto Josiah Litch represents a series of prophetic footsteps that lead to the foundational test of 9/11. When the great buildings of New York came down at 9/11, a prophecy of the third woe identified the test calling for a return to the old foundational paths, for the parallel of August 11, 1840 and 9/11 could be seen by any Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist who chose to see. Al Qaeda’s involvement in 9/11 is often brought into question in these days of conspiracy theories that generally are true, but Al Qaeda means “the foundation,” and they began as an organization one year before the time of the end in 1989, in fact on August 11, 1988.

Kuanzia ndama wa dhahabu, hadi madhabahu za Yeroboamu huko Betheli na Dani, hadi mfalme Yosia, na hatimaye kwa Josiah Litch, haya yote yanawakilisha mfululizo wa nyayo za kinabii zinazoongoza kwenye jaribio la msingi la 9/11. Wakati majengo makuu ya New York yalianguka wakati wa 9/11, unabii wa ole wa tatu ulilitambulisha jaribio hilo, ukitoa mwito wa kurejea katika njia za kale za msingi, kwa maana ulinganifu wa 11 Agosti 1840 na 9/11 ungeweza kuonekana na Mwadventista wa Sabato wa Laodikia yeyote aliyechagua kuona. Ushiriki wa Al Qaeda katika 9/11 mara nyingi huhojiwa katika siku hizi za nadharia za njama ambazo kwa ujumla ni kweli, lakini Al Qaeda inamaanisha "msingi," na walianza kama shirika mwaka mmoja kabla ya wakati wa mwisho mnamo 1989, kwa kweli tarehe 11 Agosti 1988.

If these details about the prophetic symbolism of the foundations is not noticed, much is lost. At 9/11 the foundations were laid in the first step. The second step the temple is finished as the capstone is placed. The third step is the closed door of the Sunday law. From 9/11 unto the Sunday law the message is primarily directed to Laodicean Seventh-day Adventists, for judgment begins at the house of God, and it ends for the house of God at the Sunday law. There and then Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism is passed by; as were the Protestants in Millerite history, and the Jews in the history of Christ, and as were those who died over forty years in the history of Moses.

Ikiwa maelezo haya kuhusu ishara za kinabii za misingi hayatatambuliwa, mengi hupotea. Mnamo 9/11, katika hatua ya kwanza, misingi iliwekwa. Hatua ya pili, hekalu linakamilika kwa kuwekwa jiwe la kilele. Hatua ya tatu ni mlango uliofungwa wa sheria ya Jumapili. Kuanzia 9/11 hadi sheria ya Jumapili, ujumbe kimsingi unawalenga Waadventista Wasabato wa Laodikia, kwa maana hukumu huanzia katika nyumba ya Mungu, nayo hukoma kwa nyumba ya Mungu katika sheria ya Jumapili. Hapo ndipo, na wakati huo huo, Uadventista wa Sabato wa Laodikia hupitwa kando; kama walivyopitwa kando Waprotestanti katika historia ya Wamileraiti, na Wayahudi katika historia ya Kristo, na kama vile wale waliokufa katika kipindi cha miaka arobaini katika historia ya Musa.

The third woe of 9/11 was typified by the second woe of August 11, 1840, and at that level both waymarks are represented by the ass, the first symbol of Islam in Bible prophecy. The Sunday law is the mark of the beast, and that beast is often represented as a lion, thus counterfeiting the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Sunday law is the lion and the disobedient prophet from Judah died between the ass and the lion, and was buried in the same grave as the lying prophet of Bethel. He died in the prophetic period from 9/11 unto the Sunday law, which is the prophetic period from the ass unto the lion. That testing period is the grave of the lying prophet of Bethel, who had the disobedient prophet from Judah buried in his very own grave.

Ole la tatu la 9/11 liliwakilishwa kwa mfano na ole la pili la Agosti 11, 1840, na katika kiwango hicho alama za njia zote mbili zinawakilishwa na punda, ishara ya kwanza ya Uislamu katika unabii wa Biblia. Sheria ya Jumapili ni alama ya mnyama, na mnyama huyo mara nyingi huwakilishwa kama simba, hivyo akijifanya kuwa Simba wa kabila la Yuda. Sheria ya Jumapili ni simba, na yule nabii asiiyetii kutoka Yuda alikufa kati ya punda na simba, naye akazikwa katika kaburi moja na nabii wa uongo wa Betheli. Alikufa katika kipindi cha kinabii kuanzia 9/11 hadi sheria ya Jumapili, ambacho ndicho kipindi cha kinabii kuanzia punda hadi simba. Kipindi hicho cha majaribu ndicho kaburi la nabii wa uongo wa Betheli, ambaye alimzika yule nabii asiiyetii kutoka Yuda katika kaburi lake lenyewe.

Jeroboam’s kingdom, which is represented as a counterfeit of the kingdom of Judah, where Jerusalem and the temple are located, represented the Protestants of Millerite history, that were no longer God’s people. They lost their covenant designation between August 11, 1840 and the closed door of October 22, 1844. That history aligns with 9/11 unto the Sunday law, and for this reason, the disobedient prophet of Judah is buried in the same tomb as were the apostate Protestants, who were represented by the lying prophet of Bethel.

Ufalme wa Yeroboamu, unaowasilishwa kama uigaji bandia wa Ufalme wa Yuda, ambamo Yerusalemu na Hekalu vipo, uliwakilisha Waprotestanti katika historia ya Wamileraiti, ambao hawakuwa tena watu wa Mungu. Walipoteza utambulisho wao wa agano kati ya Agosti 11, 1840 na mlango uliofungwa wa Oktoba 22, 1844. Historia hiyo inaambatana na 9/11 hadi sheria ya Jumapili, na kwa sababu hii, nabii asiye mtii wa Yuda anazikwa katika kaburi lile lile ambamo waliwekwa Waprotestanti waliopotoka, waliowakilishwa na nabii wa uongo wa Betheli.

Overall king Josiah was a good king, but he did die at Megiddo, an obvious and direct application to Armageddon. He went astray by refusing the warning message of Necho. Necho, the king of Egypt, and therefore the king of the south was on his way to do battle with Babylon, the king of the north. Josiah represents the Judeans that die at Armageddon, because they rejected the warning message of the battle of the king of the south and the king of the north in Daniel 11:40–45. That message became the foundation at 9/11.

Kwa jumla, Mfalme Yosia alikuwa mfalme mwema, lakini hakika alikufa huko Megido, jambo linalotumika kwa uwazi na moja kwa moja kwa Har-Magedoni. Alipotoka kwa kukataa ujumbe wa onyo kutoka kwa Necho. Necho, mfalme wa Misri, na hivyo mfalme wa kusini, alikuwa njiani kwenda kupigana na Babeli, mfalme wa kaskazini. Yosia anawakilisha Wayahuda wanaokufa katika Har-Magedoni, kwa sababu walikataa ujumbe wa onyo kuhusu vita vya mfalme wa kusini na mfalme wa kaskazini katika Danieli 11:40-45. Ujumbe huo ukawa msingi mnamo 9/11.

The first test is the first angel’s call to return to the foundations.

Mtihani wa kwanza ni mwito wa malaika wa kwanza wa kurejea kwenye misingi.

The second test is the second angel’s call to separate and finish the temple.

Jaribio la pili ni mwito wa malaika wa pili wa kujitenga na kukamilisha hekalu.

The third test is the third angel’s litmus test of the seal or the mark.

Mtihani wa tatu ni kipimo cha ubainifu cha malaika wa tatu kinachobainisha kama ni muhuri au alama.

The first test is a test upon the foundations, and in 2024 roughly half of those involved with the Sabbath zoom meetings left over the only doctrinal argument that is represented upon the 1843 chart. That argument was over the symbol that establishes the vision of God’s people in the latter days. The Millerite controversy had the Protestants claiming Antiochus Epiphanes, or Islam was the power who exalts himself, and falls, to establish the vision in verse fourteen of Daniel eleven.

Mtihani wa kwanza ni mtihani wa misingi, na mwaka 2024 takribani nusu ya wale waliokuwa wakihusika katika mikutano ya Zoom ya Sabato waliondoka kwa sababu ya hoja ya kimafundisho pekee iliyowakilishwa katika Mchoro wa 1843. Hoja hiyo ilihusu ishara inayoyathibitisha maono ya watu wa Mungu katika siku za mwisho. Mzozo wa Wamileraiti uliwafanya Waprotestanti kudai kwamba Antioko Epifane, au Uislamu, ndiyo nguvu inayojikweza, na kuanguka, ili kuyathibitisha maono katika aya ya kumi na nne ya Danieli sura ya kumi na moja.

> And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. Daniel 11:14.

> Na katika nyakati zile wengi watainuka dhidi ya mfalme wa kusini; pia wanyang’anyi wa watu wako watajikuza ili kutimiza maono; lakini wataanguka. Danieli 11:14.

Was Islam or Antiochus Epiphanes the robbers of thy people, or was it Rome, as Miller identified. Miller had understood that the desolating powers of paganism and papalism were both the power that exalted themselves, who fell and who were the robbers of God’s people. The argument is represented on the chart that was “directed by the hand of God, and should not be altered,” and is the only representation on either of Habakkuk’s tables which identifies an event that had no direct reference in the prophetic Word. The reference on the chart was to highlight that foundational argument as a symbol of the separating power of God’s prophetic Word.

Je, wenye jeuri wa watu wako walikuwa Uislamu au Antioko Epifane, au ilikuwa Roma, kama Miller alivyotambua? Miller alikuwa ameelewa kwamba nguvu za uharibifu za upagani na za upapa, zote mbili, zilikuwa zile nguvu zilizojikweza, zikaanguka, na zilizohesabiwa kuwa wenye jeuri miongoni mwa watu wa Mungu. Hoja hiyo imewakilishwa katika chati “iliyoelekezwa kwa mkono wa Mungu, wala isibadilishwe,” na ndiyo uwakilishi wa pekee katika meza zote mbili za Habakuki unaotambua tukio ambalo halikuwa na rejeo la moja kwa moja katika Neno la kinabii. Rejeo hilo katika chati lilikuwa la kuangazia hoja hiyo ya msingi kama ishara ya nguvu ya kutenganisha ya Neno la kinabii la Mungu.

In 2024, roughly half of the zoom group left over the false understanding that it is the United States that establishes the vision, and not Rome, as the Millerites so aptly defended.

Mwaka 2024, takriban nusu ya kikundi cha Zoom iliondoka kwa sababu ya ufahamu potofu kwamba Marekani ndiyo inayothibitisha maono, wala si Roma, kinyume na utetezi sahihi wa Wamileraiti.

The purging that began in 2023, began when Christ entered the room with His fan, and the fan is His words of truth. When He entered His room, it was empty of people, so He raised up a voice in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord. The voice was to prepare the way for the Messenger of the Covenant to suddenly come unto His temple; His temple of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Usafishaji ulioanza mwaka 2023, ulianza wakati Kristo alipoingia katika chumba Chake akiwa na pepeto Lake, na pepeto hilo ni maneno Yake ya kweli. Alipoingia katika chumba Chake, hakukuwa na watu, hivyo akainua sauti jangwani kuitayarisha njia ya Bwana. Ile sauti ilikuwa ya kuitayarisha njia ili Mjumbe wa Agano aje ghafula katika hekalu Lake; hekalu Lake la elfu mia na arobaini na nne.

Then in 2024, the first test, the test of the foundations, the test of who establishes the vision—that vision that seals the remnant. The internal vision that seals the remnant is the vision of Christ in chapter ten, and the external vision is the vision that is established by the antichrist, and the antichrist is Rome. An internal vision of Christ and an external vision of antichrist. The sealing is a settling into truth, both spiritually and intellectually; and the internal vision of chapter ten is the spiritual, and chapter eleven’s external vision is the intellectual. The understanding and corresponding experience of both visions is the required criteria for anyone who would be sealed, as Daniel represented in the first verse of Daniel chapter ten.

Kisha mwaka 2024, jaribio la kwanza: jaribio la misingi; jaribio la nani anayeanzisha maono—maono hayo yanayotia muhuri mabaki. Maono ya ndani yanayotia muhuri mabaki ni maono ya Kristo katika sura ya kumi, na maono ya nje ni maono yanayoanzishwa na Mpinga-Kristo, na Mpinga-Kristo ni Roma. Maono ya ndani ya Kristo na maono ya nje ya Mpinga-Kristo. Kutiwa muhuri ni kuthibitishwa katika kweli, kiroho na kiakili; na maono ya ndani ya sura ya kumi ni ya kiroho, na maono ya nje ya sura ya kumi na moja ni ya kiakili. Uelewa pamoja na uzoefu unaolingana wa maono yote mawili ndivyo vigezo vinavyohitajika kwa yeyote atakayetiwa muhuri, kama inavyowakilishwa na Danieli katika aya ya kwanza ya sura ya kumi ya Danieli.

> In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. Daniel 10:1.

> Katika mwaka wa tatu wa Cyrus, mfalme wa Uajemi, jambo lilifunuliwa kwa Daniel, ambaye aliitwa Belteshazzar; na jambo hilo lilikuwa la kweli, lakini wakati uliowekwa ulikuwa mrefu; naye akalielewa jambo hilo, na alikuwa na ufahamu wa maono hayo. Daniel 10:1.

The alpha test of the foundations was over verse fourteen of Daniel eleven, and it was a parallel to the same foundational test of the Millerites, and that test was the only controversy from Millerite history that is represented upon the table Habakkuk’s watchman was commanded to write and make plain. The foundational test of 2024, was the first angel’s descent, as represented by August 11, 1840, 1888 and 9/11.

Jaribio la alfa la misingi lilihusu Danieli 11:14, nalo lilikuwa sambamba na jaribio lilelile la msingi la Wamileraiti; tena jaribio hilo ndilo mzozo wa pekee kutoka katika historia ya Wamileraiti uliowakilishwa juu ya ubao ambao mlinzi wa Habakuki aliamriwa kuandika na kuufanya wazi. Jaribio la msingi la mwaka 2024 lilikuwa kushuka kwa malaika wa kwanza, kama kunavyowakilishwa na Agosti 11, 1840, 1888, na 9/11.

That angel had also descended as Michael, for Michael is the one who resurrected Moses, who with Elijah was resurrected on the last day of 2023. That resurrection is represented by Ezekiel as being accomplished by a prophecy of the four winds, which Sister White calls the angry restrained horse, which is Islam of August 11, 1840 and 9/11. The alpha test was the foundational testing external vision. The omega test would be an internal capstone vision.

Malaika huyo alikuwa pia ameshuka kama Mikaeli, kwa maana Mikaeli ndiye aliyemfufua Musa, ambaye pamoja na Eliya alifufuliwa siku ya mwisho ya mwaka 2023. Ufufuo huo unaakilishwa na Ezekieli kuwa umetekelezwa kwa unabii wa pepo nne, ambao Dada White aliuita farasi mwenye hasira aliyezuiliwa; farasi huyo ni Uislamu wa Agosti 11, 1840 na 9/11. Mtihani wa alfa ulikuwa maono ya nje ya kimsingi ya upimaji. Mtihani wa omega ungekuwa maono ya ndani ya kilele.

Why would there be an alpha and omega to be followed by a third test? This is the very issue I am identifying. The alpha external testing vision of 2024, is the first of three tests. That foundational test must be passed to be involved in the capstone omega test. Those two tests are of a different prophetic nature than the third test. The third test is a litmus test which demonstrates if the candidate has truly passed the previous two steps.

Kwa nini kuwe na Alfa na Omega kufuatiwa na jaribio la tatu? Hili ndilo suala hasa ninalolibainisha. Maono ya upimaji wa nje ya Alfa ya mwaka 2024 ni jaribio la kwanza kati ya majaribio matatu. Jaribio hilo la msingi lazima lipitwe ili mtu ahusike katika jaribio la kilele la Omega. Majaribio yale mawili yana asili ya kinabii iliyo tofauti na jaribio la tatu. Jaribio la tatu ni kipimo cha lakmusi kinachodhihirisha iwapo mtahiniwa amepita kwa kweli hatua mbili zilizotangulia.

The first test is the foundation, and the second test is the temple completed. The foundation of the temple was laid during the history of the first decree to come out of Babylon. In the history of the second decree the temple was completed. The third decree was different, for in that decree, Judah’s national sovereignty was restored giving them the authority to prosecute civil and religious crimes. Judgment is restored at the third decree. In 2024, the foundational alpha test separated those in the dirt brush man’s virtually empty room.

Jaribio la kwanza ndilo msingi, na jaribio la pili ndilo kukamilika kwa hekalu. Msingi wa hekalu uliwekwa katika historia ya amri ya kwanza iliyotoka Babeli. Katika historia ya amri ya pili hekalu lilikamilishwa. Amri ya tatu ilikuwa tofauti, kwa kuwa katika amri hiyo, mamlaka ya kujitawala ya kitaifa ya Yuda ilirejeshwa, ikiwapa mamlaka ya kushtaki uhalifu wa kiraia na wa kidini. Hukumu inarejeshwa katika amri ya tatu. Mwaka 2024, jaribio la alfa la msingi liliwatenganisha walio katika chumba kilicho karibu tupu kabisa cha yule mtu wa brashi ya vumbi.

The omega test is where the temple is finished, as represented by the capstone being placed. The completion of the temple is the church triumphant that is established when the tares are removed. The completion of the temple in Miller’s dream was when the jewels were cast back into the larger casket “without any visible pains of the man who cast them in.” After Miller identifies the dirt brush man casting the jewels into the larger casket, he ends his testimony with the words, “I shouted with very joy, and that shout awoke me.”

Mtihani wa omega ni hatua ambayo hekalu linakamilishwa, kama inavyowakilishwa na kuwekwa kwa jiwe la kilele. Kukamilika kwa hekalu ndiko Kanisa lishindalo linaloanzishwa wakati magugu yanapoondolewa. Kukamilika kwa hekalu katika ndoto ya Miller kulikuwa wakati vito vilipotupwa tena ndani ya sanduku kubwa zaidi “bila taabu yoyote inayoonekana ya yule mtu aliyewatupa ndani.” Baada ya Miller kumtambua yule mtu mwenye kifagio cha vumbi akitupa vito ndani ya sanduku kubwa zaidi, anahitimisha ushuhuda wake kwa maneno, “Nilipaza sauti kwa furaha kuu, na kelele hiyo iliniamsha.”

Take note that Miller’s loud cry that awakens, was empowered by “joy.” Joy is the symbol of those in Joel who have the “new wine,” and “shame” is upon those other drinkers of wine who have been cut off from the new wine. The Midnight Cry that awakens Miller, follows after the dirt brush man casts the jewels into the larger casket. The larger casket is full of the jewels that have been separated from the rubbish and cast into the casket, which is both the temple of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the message of the Midnight Cry. The temple is finished in the second decree, or the second angel, or the second and omega test. In Miller’s dream, the omega test is represented when the windows of heaven are opened.

Tia maanani kwamba kilio kikuu cha Miller kinachoamsha kilitiwa nguvu na “furaha.” Furaha ni ishara ya wale katika Yoeli ambao wana “divai mpya,” na “aibu” iko juu ya wale wanywaji wengine wa divai waliotengwa na ile divai mpya. Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane kinachomwamsha Miller hufuata baada ya yule mtu wa brashi ya vumbi kutupa vito ndani ya kasha kubwa zaidi. Kasha hilo kubwa limejaa vito vilivyotenganishwa na takataka na kutupwa ndani ya kasha hilo, ambalo ni hekalu la wale mia arobaini na nne elfu, na pia ni ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Hekalu hukamilishwa katika agizo la pili, au malaika wa pili, au jaribio la pili na la omega. Katika ndoto ya Miller, jaribio la omega linawakilishwa wakati madirisha ya mbingu yanafunguliwa.

> And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19:6–9.

> Nikasikia kama sauti ya mkutano mkubwa, na kama sauti ya maji mengi, na kama sauti ya ngurumo kuu, ikisema, Haleluya; kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi anatawala. Tufurahi na tushangilie, tumpe heshima; kwa maana arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo imewadia, na mkewe amejiweka tayari. Naye akapewa kuvikwa kitani laini, safi na jeupe; kwa kuwa lile kitani laini ni haki ya watakatifu. Akaniambia, Andika, Heri walioalikwa katika karamu ya arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo. Tena akaniambia, Haya ni maneno ya kweli ya Mungu. Ufunuo 19:6-9.

On October 22, 1844, “four comings of Christ” were fulfilled, and each of those four comings are more perfectly fulfilled at the soon-coming Sunday law. He came as the Messenger of the Covenant, in fulfillment of the purging and purification of the Levites in Malachi three. He came to receive a kingdom in fulfillment of Daniel 7:13. He came to cleanse the sanctuary in fulfillment of Daniel 8:14 and He also came to the marriage. The marriage takes place when the bride has made herself ready.

Mnamo tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844, “mara nne za kuja kwa Kristo” zilitimia, na kila mojawapo ya hizo nne itatimia kwa ukamilifu zaidi wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili inayokaribia. Alikuja kama Mjumbe wa Agano, katika kutimiza kusafishwa na kutakaswa kwa Walawi kulikotajwa katika Malaki sura ya tatu. Alikuja kupokea ufalme katika kutimiza Danieli 7:13. Alikuja kutakasa patakatifu katika kutimiza Danieli 8:14, naye pia alikuja kwenye arusi. Arusi hufanyika wakati bibi arusi amejiweka tayari.

> “‘When the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.’ Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 69.

> 'Lakini tunda likishakomaa, mara huutia mundu, kwa kuwa mavuno yamewadia.' Kristo anasubiri kwa shauku kuu udhihirisho wa Nafsi Yake katika kanisa Lake. Tabia ya Kristo itakapozalishwa kikamilifu ndani ya watu Wake, ndipo Atakuja kuwadai kuwa Wake. Christ's Object Lessons, 69.

The “world can only be warned,” according to inspiration, by “seeing men and women” with the seal of God during the Sunday law crisis.

"Ulimwengu unaweza kuonywa tu," kulingana na ilhamu, kwa "kuwaona wanaume na wanawake" wenye muhuri wa Mungu wakati wa mgogoro wa sheria ya Jumapili.

> “The work of the Holy Spirit is to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. The world can only be warned by seeing those who believe the truth sanctified through the truth, acting upon high and holy principles, showing in a high, elevated sense, the line of demarcation between those who keep the commandments of God, and those who trample them under their feet. The sanctification of the Spirit signalizes the difference between those who have the seal of God, and those who keep a spurious rest-day. When the test comes, it will be clearly shown what the mark of the beast is. It is the keeping of Sunday. Those who after having heard the truth, continue to regard this day as holy, bear the signature of the man of sin, who thought to change times and laws.” Bible Training School, December 1, 1903.

> Kazi ya Roho Mtakatifu ni kuuthibitishia ulimwengu hatia kuhusu dhambi, haki na hukumu. Ulimwengu unaweza kuonywa tu kwa kuwaona wale waaminio ukweli wakiwekwa wakfu kwa njia ya ukweli, wakitenda kwa kanuni za juu na takatifu, wakiweka wazi, kwa namna ya juu na yenye adhama, mpaka kati ya wale wanaozishika amri za Mungu na wale wanaozikanyaga chini ya miguu yao. Kutakaswa na Roho hubainisha tofauti kati ya wale walio na muhuri wa Mungu na wale wanaoshika siku ya mapumziko bandia. Jaribu litakapokuja, itaonyeshwa kwa uwazi ni nini chapa ya mnyama. Ni kushika siku ya Jumapili. Wale ambao, baada ya kusikia ukweli, wanaendelea kuichukulia siku hii kuwa takatifu, hubeba saini ya mtu wa dhambi, aliyedhani kubadili nyakati na sheria. Bible Training School, 1 Desemba 1903.

When the bride makes herself ready the harvest is come. The harvest begins with the gathering together of the first fruit wheat offering that is lifted up as a wave offering ensign. First the first fruits, which are the one hundred and forty-four thousand in the book of Revelation, are gathered, and then the other flock, who are the great multitude. The ensign is his mighty army, and his mighty army is arrayed in fine white linen. At the marriage, the temple of the one hundred and forty-four is finished in advance of the judgment of the Sunday law, and that temple is not only Miller’s larger casket, but it is the church triumphant that possesses all the gifts, including the spirit of prophecy.

Wakati bibi-arusi anapojitayarisha, mavuno yamewadia. Mavuno huanza kwa kukusanya sadaka ya malimbuko ya ngano, inayoinuliwa kama bendera ya sadaka ya kutikiswa. Kwanza, malimbuko, ambayo ni wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu katika kitabu cha Ufunuo, hukusanywa, kisha kundi lingine, ambalo ni umati mkuu. Bendera hiyo ni jeshi lake lenye nguvu, na jeshi lake lenye nguvu limevikwa kitani safi cheupe. Wakati wa ndoa, hekalu la wale mia moja arobaini na nne linakamilishwa kabla ya hukumu ya sheria ya Jumapili, na hekalu hilo si tu sanduku kubwa la Miller, bali pia ndilo kanisa la ushindi lenye karama zote, ikiwa ni pamoja na roho ya unabii.

> And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10.

> Na nikaanguka miguuni pake kumsujudia. Akaniambia, Angalia usifanye hivyo; mimi ni mtumishi mwenzako, na wa ndugu zako walio na ushuhuda wa Yesu; msujudie Mungu; kwa maana ushuhuda wa Yesu ndilo roho ya unabii. Ufunuo 19:10.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are those who have the testimony of Jesus, and the testimony of Jesus is set forth “line upon line” in both the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. When the Laodicean movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand transforms into the Philadelphian movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, they will all employ the line upon line methodology to present their testimony. That testimony is a combination of the Divine blood and the human witness.

Wale mia na arobaini na nne elfu ndio walio na ushuhuda wa Yesu, na ushuhuda wa Yesu umewekwa wazi “mstari juu ya mstari” katika Biblia na Roho ya Unabii. Wakati harakati ya Laodikia ya wale mia na arobaini na nne elfu inapobadilika kuwa harakati ya Filadelfia ya wale mia na arobaini na nne elfu, wote watatumia mbinu ya “mstari juu ya mstari” kuwasilisha ushuhuda wao. Ushuhuda huo ni muungano wa damu ya Kiungu na ushuhuda wa kibinadamu.

> And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11.

> Nao wakamshinda kwa damu ya Mwana-Kondoo, na kwa neno la ushuhuda wao; wala hawakuyapenda maisha yao hata kufa. Ufunuo 12:11.

The testimony of humanity combined with the blood of Divinity is the testimony of Moses and the Lamb. Moses was humanity, the alpha to the blood of the omega Lamb’s divinity. All the gifts are restored as soon as the bride makes herself ready, and as a mighty army clothed in white linen, she takes her position as the ensign of the Lord’s advancing army. That battle march begins when the bride is made ready and clothed in white, which is when the windows of heaven are opened, as they were in Miller’s dream.

Ushuhuda wa ubinadamu uliounganishwa na damu ya Uungu ni ushuhuda wa Musa na Mwana-Kondoo. Musa alikuwa ubinadamu, alfa kwa damu ya Uungu wa Mwana-Kondoo aliye Omega. Karama zote zinarejeshwa mara tu bibi arusi anapojitayarisha, naye kama jeshi lenye nguvu lililovikwa kitani cheupe, anachukua nafasi yake kama bendera ya jeshi la Bwana linalosonga mbele. Mwendo huo wa kivita huanza pale bibi arusi anapotayarishwa na kuvikwa mavazi meupe; ndipo madirisha ya mbinguni hufunguliwa, kama vile yalivyofunguliwa katika ndoto ya Miller.

> And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:11–16.

> Nikaona mbingu imefunguliwa, na tazama, farasi mweupe; na yeye aliyeketi juu yake aliitwa Mwaminifu na Kweli, naye kwa haki anahukumu na kufanya vita. Macho yake yalikuwa kama mwali wa moto, na juu ya kichwa chake kulikuwa na taji nyingi; tena alikuwa na jina limeandikwa, asilijua mtu, ila yeye mwenyewe. Naye amevaa vazi lililochovywa katika damu; na jina lake huitwa Neno la Mungu. Nao majeshi yaliyo mbinguni walimfuata wakiwa juu ya farasi weupe, wamevaa kitani laini, cheupe na kisafi. Na kutoka kinywani mwake hutoka upanga mkali, ili kwa huo azipige mataifa; naye atawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma; naye anakanyaga shinikizo la divai ya ukali wa ghadhabu ya Mungu Mwenyezi. Naye ana jina limeandikwa juu ya vazi lake na juu ya paja lake, MFALME WA WAFALME, NA BWANA WA MABWANA. Ufunuo 19:11-16.

When the dirt brush man enters the empty room and opens the windows He gathers up the jewels and cast them into the larger omega casket. James White would identify those jewels as God’s people, but William Miller would tell you symbols have more than one meaning, and the jewels represent not only the scattered foundational truths, but also the scattered jewels that are on the crown that is lifted up representing Christ’s kingdom of glory.

Anapoingia yule mtu mwenye kifagio cha uchafu katika chumba kitupu na kufungua madirisha, anakusanya vito na kuvitupa katika kisanduku kikubwa zaidi cha Omega. James White angevitambua vito hivyo kuwa ni watu wa Mungu, lakini William Miller angekuambia kwamba alama zina maana zaidi ya moja, na vito hivyo vinawakilisha si tu kweli za msingi zilizotawanyika, bali pia vito vilivyotawanyika vilivyo kwenye taji lililoinuliwa, linalowakilisha ufalme wa utukufu wa Kristo.

> And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. Zechariah 9:16.

> Na Bwana Mungu wao atawaokoa siku ile kama kundi la watu wake; kwa maana watakuwa kama mawe ya taji, yakainuliwa kama bendera juu ya nchi yake. Zekaria 9:16.

The omega and second test after the foundational alpha test of Rome establishing the vision, is the capstone omega test. It is the finishing of the temple test, that precedes the third litmus test of judgment. The test purges the two classes of worshippers from each other, separating the wise and foolish based upon the oil, which is the message, or as Sister White identified in her commentary of the synagogue at Capernaum—the “words of truth.”

Mtihani wa omega, ambao ni wa pili baada ya mtihani wa kimsingi wa alfa wa Roma ulioasisi maono, ndio mtihani wa omega wa jiwe la kilele. Ni kukamilishwa kwa mtihani wa hekalu, unaotangulia mtihani wa tatu wa lakmusi wa hukumu. Mtihani huo unawatakasa na kuwatenganisha makundi mawili ya waabudu, ukiwapambanua wenye hekima na wapumbavu kwa msingi wa yale mafuta, ambayo ndiyo ujumbe, au kama Dada White alivyoyatambua katika ufafanuzi wake juu ya sinagogi la Kapernaumu, “maneno ya kweli.”

Capernaum is where in John 6:66, Jesus lost the greatest number of disciples at one time, and those disciples never returned. As the largest test of discipleship in the time of Christ, Capernaum is a symbol of the omega test of discipleship in the time of Christ, which in turn would typify the omega test of discipleship in the three-step testing process that began in 2023. In Capernaum, the test was represented by the Bread of Heaven, and it identified the failure of the Jews in the context of their inability to understand prophecy, due to their unwillingness to accept that when Jesus’ spoke of natural things, it was to be understood in a spiritual application.

Kapernaumu ndiko ambako, katika Yohana 6:66, Yesu alipoteza idadi kubwa zaidi ya wanafunzi kwa wakati mmoja, na wanafunzi hao hawakurudi tena. Kama jaribio kubwa zaidi la uanafunzi katika wakati wa Kristo, Kapernaumu ni ishara ya jaribio la omega la uanafunzi katika wakati wa Kristo, ambalo nalo lingekuwa kielelezo cha jaribio la omega la uanafunzi katika mchakato wa majaribio wa hatua tatu ulioanza mwaka 2023. Katika Kapernaumu, jaribio hilo liliwakilishwa na Mkate wa Mbinguni, nalo likaainisha kushindwa kwa Wayahudi katika muktadha wa kushindwa kwao kuelewa unabii, kwa sababu ya kutokutaka kwao kukubali kwamba Yesu alipozungumza juu ya mambo ya kiasili, yalipaswa kueleweka kwa maana ya kiroho.

We will continue these things in the next article.

> “Christ’s discourse in the synagogue concerning the bread of life was the turning point in the history of Judas. He heard the words, ‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ John 6:53. He saw that Christ was offering spiritual rather than worldly good. He regarded himself as farsighted, and thought he could see that Jesus would have no honor, and that He could bestow no high position upon His followers. He determined not to unite himself so closely to Christ but that he could draw away. He would watch. And he did watch.

> Hotuba ya Kristo katika sinagogi kuhusu mkate wa uzima ilikuwa nukta ya mgeuko katika historia ya Yuda. Alisikia maneno, 'Msipokula mwili wa Mwana wa Adamu, na kunywa damu Yake, hamna uzima ndani yenu.' Yohana 6:53. Akaona kwamba Kristo alikuwa akitoa mema ya kiroho badala ya mema ya kidunia. Alijiona kuwa mwenye kuona mbali, na akadhani kwamba angeweza kuona kuwa Yesu hangekuwa na heshima, wala hangeweza kuwapa wafuasi Wake cheo cha juu chochote. Akaamua asijiunganishe na Kristo kwa ukaribu wa namna ambayo asingeweza kujiondoa. Angetazama. Naye akatazama.

## First Test

Mtihani wa Kwanza

> “The look that Jesus cast upon the selfish Judas convinced him that the Master had penetrated his hypocrisy, and read his base, contemptible character. This was a more direct reproof than Judas had before received. He was provoked by it, and thus a door was opened through which Satan entered to control his thoughts. Instead of repenting, he planned revenge. Stung by the knowledge of his sin, and provoked to madness because his guilt was known, he rose from the table, and went to the palace of the high priest, where he found the council assembled. He was imbued with the spirit of Satan, and acted like one bereft of reason. The reward promised for the betrayal of his Master was thirty pieces of silver; and for a far less sum than the box of ointment cost he sold the Savior.

> Ile nadhari ambayo Yesu alimkazia Yuda mwenye ubinafsi ilimhakikishia kwamba Bwana alikuwa ameupenya unafiki wake, na kusoma tabia yake ya chini, ya kudharaulika. Huu ulikuwa karipio la moja kwa moja zaidi kuliko lile ambalo Yuda alikuwa amewahi kupokea kabla. Alikasirishwa nalo, na hivyo mlango ukafunguliwa, ambao kupitia humo Shetani akaingia kutawala mawazo yake. Badala ya kutubu, alipanga kisasi. Akiwa amechomwa na ufahamu wa dhambi yake, na akichokozwa hadi wazimu kwa sababu hatia yake ilikuwa imejulikana, alinyanyuka kutoka mezani, akaenda hadi nyumba ya kuhani mkuu, ambako aliukuta baraza limekusanyika. Alijazwa na roho ya Shetani, akatenda kama mtu asiye na akili timamu. Malipo yaliyoahidiwa kwa usaliti wa Bwana wake yalikuwa vipande thelathini vya fedha; na kwa kiasi kilicho kidogo sana kuliko gharama ya kisanduku cha marashi alimwuza Mwokozi.

> “In spirit and practice many resemble Judas. As long as there is silence in regard to the plague-spot in their character, no open enmity is seen; but when they are reproved, bitterness fills their hearts.” Youth Instructor, July 12, 1900.

> "Kwa roho na matendo, wengi wanafanana na Yuda. Maadamu kuna ukimya kuhusu doa la tauni katika tabia zao, uadui wa wazi hauonekani; bali wanapokaripiwa, uchungu hujaza mioyo yao." Youth Instructor, Julai 12, 1900.

## The Second Test

Jaribu la Pili

> “Before the Passover Judas had met a second time with the priests and scribes, and had closed the contract to deliver Jesus into their hands. . . . Judas was now offended at Christ’s act in washing the feet of His disciples. If Jesus could so humble Himself, he thought, He could not be Israel’s king. All hope of worldly honor in a temporal kingdom was destroyed. Judas was satisfied that there was nothing to be gained by following Christ. After seeing Him degrade Himself, as he thought, he was confirmed in his purpose to disown Him, and confess himself deceived. He was possessed by a demon, and he resolved to complete the work he had agreed to do in betraying his Lord.” The Desire of Ages, 645.

> "Kabla ya Pasaka Yuda alikuwa amekutana mara ya pili na makuhani na waandishi, naye alikuwa amehitimisha mkataba wa kumtia Yesu mikononi mwao. . . . Yuda sasa alikwazwa na tendo la Kristo la kuwaosha wanafunzi Wake miguu. Ikiwa Yesu angeweza kujinyenyekeza namna hiyo, alifikiri, asingeweza kuwa mfalme wa Israeli. Tumaini lote la heshima ya kidunia katika ufalme wa muda lilikuwa limeangamizwa. Yuda alijiridhisha kwamba hapakuwa na chochote cha kufaidika kwa kumfuata Kristo. Baada ya kumwona akijishusha hadhi, kama alivyodhani, alithibitishwa katika kusudi lake la kumkana Yeye, na kukiri kwamba alikuwa amedanganyika. Alikuwa amepagawa na pepo, naye akaazimia kukamilisha kazi aliyokubaliana kuifanya ya kumsaliti Bwana Wake." The Desire of Ages, 645.

## The Final Decision

Uamuzi wa Mwisho

> “In surprise and confusion at the exposure of his purpose, Judas rose hastily to leave the room. ‘Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. . . . He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.’ Night it was to the traitor as he turned away from Christ into the outer darkness.

> Kwa mshangao na mkanganyiko baada ya kusudi lake kufichuliwa, Yuda akainuka kwa haraka ili kuondoka chumbani. ‘Ndipo Yesu akamwambia, Lile ufanyalo, lifanye upesi. . . . Basi yeye, akiisha kuipokea ile sehemu ya mkate iliyochovywa, akaondoka mara moja; na ilikuwa usiku.’ Ulikuwa usiku kwa yule msaliti alipomgeuzia Kristo kisogo na kuingia katika giza la nje.

> “Until this step was taken, Judas had not passed beyond the possibility of repentance. But when he left the presence of his Lord and his fellow disciples, the final decision had been made. He had passed the boundary line.

> Hadi hatua hii ilipochukuliwa, Yuda hakuwa amepita nje ya uwezekano wa kutubu. Lakini alipoondoka katika uwepo wa Bwana wake na wanafunzi wenzake, uamuzi wa mwisho ulikuwa umechukuliwa. Alikuwa amevuka mpaka.

> “Wonderful had been the long-suffering of Jesus in His dealing with this tempted soul. Nothing that could be done to save Judas had been left undone. After he had twice covenanted to betray his Lord, Jesus still gave him opportunity for repentance. By reading the secret purpose of the traitor’s heart, Christ gave to Judas the final, convincing evidence of His divinity. This was to the false disciple the last call to repentance. No appeal that the divine-human heart of Christ could make had been spared. The waves of mercy, beaten back by stubborn pride, returned in a stronger tide of subduing love. But although surprised and alarmed at the discovery of his guilt, Judas became only the more determined. From the sacramental supper he went out to complete the work of betrayal.

> Uvumilivu wa muda mrefu wa Yesu katika kushughulika na nafsi hii iliyojaribiwa ulikuwa wa ajabu. Hakuna jambo lolote lililoweza kufanywa kumwokoa Yuda lililoachwa bila kufanywa. Baada ya yeye mara mbili kufanya makubaliano ya kumsaliti Bwana wake, Yesu bado alimpa nafasi ya kutubu. Kwa kusoma kusudi la siri la moyo wa msaliti, Kristo alimpa Yuda ushahidi wa mwisho, wenye kusadikisha, wa uungu wake. Hili lilikuwa, kwa yule mwanafunzi asiye wa kweli, wito wa mwisho wa kutubu. Hakuna wito ambao moyo wa Kimungu-kibinadamu wa Kristo ungeweza kuutoa ambao haukutolewa. Mawimbi ya rehema, yaliyorudishwa nyuma na kiburi cha ukaidi, yalirejea katika wimbi lenye nguvu zaidi la upendo unaotiisha. Lakini, ingawa alishangaa na kuingiwa na hofu kwa kufunuliwa kwa hatia yake, Yuda akaazimia zaidi. Kutoka kwenye karamu ya sakramenti aliondoka kwenda kukamilisha kazi ya usaliti.

> “In pronouncing the woe upon Judas, Christ also had a purpose of mercy toward His disciples. He thus gave them the crowning evidence of His Messiahship. ‘I tell you before it come,’ He said, ‘that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I AM.’ Had Jesus remained silent, in apparent ignorance of what was to come upon Him, the disciples might have thought that their Master had not divine foresight, and had been surprised and betrayed into the hands of the murderous mob. A year before, Jesus had told the disciples that He had chosen twelve, and that one was a devil. Now His words to Judas, showing that his treachery was fully known to his Master, would strengthen the faith of Christ’s true followers during His humiliation. And when Judas should have come to his dreadful end, they would remember the woe that Jesus had pronounced upon the betrayer.” The Desire of Ages, 653–655.

> "Katika kulitangaza ole juu ya Yuda, Kristo pia alikuwa na kusudi la rehema kwa wanafunzi Wake. Kwa kufanya hivyo aliwapa ushahidi wa juu kabisa wa Umasihi Wake. 'Nawaambia kabla hayajatukia,' akasema, 'ili yatakapotimia mpate kuamini ya kuwa MIMI NIKO.' Kama Yesu angalibaki kimya, kana kwamba alikuwa hajui yale yaliyokuwa kumjia, wanafunzi wangeweza kudhani kwamba Bwana wao hakuwa na utambuzi wa kimungu wa kuona mbele, na kwamba alikuwa ameshitukizwa na kusalitiwa mikononi mwa umati wa wauaji. Mwaka mmoja kabla, Yesu alikuwa amewaambia wanafunzi kwamba alikuwa amewachagua kumi na wawili, na kwamba mmoja wao ni ibilisi. Sasa maneno Yake kwa Yuda, yakionyesha kwamba usaliti wake ulijulikana kikamilifu kwa Bwana Wake, yangeliimarisha imani ya wafuasi wa kweli wa Kristo wakati wa unyenyekezwa Kwake. Na Yuda atakapokuwa amefikia mwisho wake wa kutisha, wangelikumbuka ole alioutamka Yesu juu ya yule msaliti." The Desire of Ages, 653-655.
