The message of Daniel chapters eight and nine which are represented by the Ulai River were unsealed in 1798. The prophecy of chapter eight was interpreted in chapter nine by Gabriel, but not until Daniel had set forth a prayer, that is considered one of the most significant human prayers in the Bible. In that prayer Daniel identifies that he had recognized that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years according to what he had discovered in the book of Jeremiah.

Ujumbe wa sura ya nane na ya tisa za Danieli—sura zinazowakilishwa na Mto Ulai—ulifunuliwa mnamo mwaka 1798. Unabii wa sura ya nane ulitafsiriwa katika sura ya tisa na Gabrieli, lakini hilo halikutokea hadi pale Danieli alipotoa sala inayozingatiwa kuwa mojawapo ya sala za kibinadamu muhimu zaidi katika Biblia. Katika sala hiyo Danieli anabainisha kuwa alikuwa ametambua kwamba ukiwa wa Yerusalemu ungedumu miaka sabini kulingana na alichogundua katika kitabu cha Yeremia.

> In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. Daniel 9:1, 2.

> Katika mwaka wa kwanza wa Dario, mwana wa Ahasuero, wa uzao wa Wamedi, aliyewekwa kuwa mfalme juu ya ufalme wa Wakaldayo; katika mwaka wa kwanza wa kutawala kwake, mimi Danieli, nilielewa kwa vitabu hesabu ya miaka, ambayo neno la Bwana lilimjia Yeremia nabii, ya kwamba atatimiza miaka sabini katika ukiwa wa Yerusalemu. Danieli 9:1, 2.

Jeremiah also identified that at the end of those seventy years Belshazzar would die as Cyrus the General of Darius conquered Babylon.

Yeremia pia alibainisha kwamba mwishoni mwa miaka hiyo sabini Belshaza angekufa wakati Koreshi, jemadari wa Dario, alipouteka Babeli.

> And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. Jeremiah 25:11, 12.

> Nayo nchi hii yote itakuwa ukiwa, ajabu; na mataifa haya yatamtumikia mfalme wa Babeli miaka sabini. Itakapotimia miaka sabini, nitamwadhibu mfalme wa Babeli, na taifa hilo, asema Bwana, kwa uovu wao, na nchi ya Wakaldayo; nami nitaifanya kuwa magofu ya milele. Yeremia 25:11, 12.

Daniel also identified that the seventy years of desolation was a fulfillment of a prophecy recorded by Moses.

Danieli pia alitambua kwamba miaka sabini ya ukiwa ilikuwa kutimia kwa unabii ulioandikwa na Musa.

> Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Daniel 9:11–13.

> Naam, Israeli wote wameivunja sheria yako, wakageuka kando, wasiitii sauti yako; kwa hiyo laana imemiminwa juu yetu, na kiapo kilichoandikwa katika sheria ya Musa, mtumishi wa Mungu, kwa sababu tumetenda dhambi dhidi yake. Naye ameyathibitisha maneno yake, aliyoyanena juu yetu, na juu ya waamuzi wetu waliotuhukumu, kwa kutuletea uovu mkuu; kwa maana chini ya mbingu yote hayajafanyika kama yalivyofanyika juu ya Yerusalemu. Kama ilivyoandikwa katika sheria ya Musa, uovu huu wote umetupata; lakini hatukuomba mbele za Bwana Mungu wetu, ili tugeuke kutoka kwa maovu yetu, na tuelewe kweli yako. Danieli 9:11-13.

The “oath” that Israel had broken which produced the “curse” was the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six. The word translated as “seven times” in Leviticus twenty-six is the same Hebrew word that is translated as “oath,” in Daniel nine. Moses’ oath represented by the word translated as “seven times” is the first time-prophecy discovered by William Miller and it was the first of his foundational truths that was set aside in 1863. William Miller represented Elijah, and this is confirmed by the Spirit of Prophecy.

"Kiapo" ambacho Waisraeli walikivunja na kilichozalisha "laana" kilikuwa "mara saba" za Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita. Neno linalotafsiriwa kuwa "mara saba" katika Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita ni neno lilelile la Kiebrania linalotafsiriwa kuwa "kiapo" katika Danieli tisa. Kiapo cha Musa kinachoakilishwa na neno linalotafsiriwa kuwa "mara saba" ndicho unabii wa kwanza wa muda uliogunduliwa na William Miller, na kilikuwa cha kwanza kati ya kweli zake za msingi kilichowekwa kando mwaka 1863. William Miller alimwakilisha Eliya, na hili limethibitishwa na Roho ya Unabii.

> “Thousands were led to embrace the truth preached by William Miller, and servants of God were raised up in the spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the message.” Early Writings, 233.

> "Maelfu waliongozwa kuukubali ukweli ulihubiriwa na William Miller, na watumishi wa Mungu wakainuliwa katika roho na nguvu za Eliya ili kutangaza ujumbe." Maandishi ya Awali, 233.

In 1863 the Millerite movement ended as those who had formerly been in the movement started the Seventh-day Adventist church. When they began as a church the movement ended. It ended when they slew Moses as represented in the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six, and when they simultaneously slew Elijah, the messenger that had presented the “oath” of Moses to the movement. Moses and Elijah were both slain in 1863 and were not to be resurrected until post September 11, 2001, when God took the movement Future for America back to the old paths.

Mnamo mwaka 1863 harakati ya Millerite ilikoma wakati wale ambao hapo awali walikuwa katika harakati hiyo walianzisha Kanisa la Waadventista wa Sabato. Walipoanza kama kanisa, harakati hiyo ikaisha. Ilikoma walipomuua Musa kama inavyowakilishwa katika “mara saba” ya Walawi ishirini na sita, na wakati huohuo walipomuua Eliya, mjumbe aliyewasilisha “kiapo” cha Musa kwa harakati hiyo. Musa na Eliya wote waliuawa mwaka 1863, nao hawakupaswa kufufuliwa hadi baada ya 11 Septemba 2001, wakati Mungu alipoirudisha harakati Future for America katika njia za kale.

Future for America recognized September 11, 2001 as the arrival of the third woe, and what establishes that the identification of Islam’s attack on September 11 was the history of the first two woes as identified by the Millerites which is specifically represented upon both the 1843 and 1850 pioneer charts. By returning to Millerite history to uphold the modern role of Islam, the Lord then opened Future for America’s understanding of the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six, which is graphically represented on both charts in the center column. And in both charts, the center of the center column is the cross. When God directed in the production of both of Habakkuk’s tables, He made sure that the “oath” of Moses, the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six was the center of all the other prophetic illustrations and that on both tables Christ was placed in the very center.

Future for America ilitambua tarehe 11 Septemba 2001 kuwa kuwasili kwa biada ya tatu, na kinachothibitisha kwamba utambulisho wa shambulio la Uislamu la tarehe 11 Septemba ni historia ya biada mbili za kwanza kama ilivyotambuliwa na Wamilleri, ambayo imewakilishwa mahsusi kwenye chati za waanzilishi za 1843 na 1850. Kwa kurejea katika historia ya Wamilleri ili kuthibitisha jukumu la kisasa la Uislamu, Bwana kisha akafungua uelewa wa Future for America kuhusu “mara saba” za Walawi sura ya ishirini na sita, ambazo zimewakilishwa kimchoro kwenye chati zote mbili katika safu ya katikati. Na katika chati zote mbili, sehemu ya kati ya safu ya katikati ni msalaba. Mungu alipoongoza katika utayarishaji wa mabao yote mawili ya Habakuki, alihakikisha kwamba “kiapo” cha Musa, zile “mara saba” za Walawi sura ya ishirini na sita, ndizo zilikuwa kiini cha vielelezo vingine vyote vya kinabii, na kwamba katika mabao yote mawili Kristo aliwekwa katikati kabisa.

This agreed with a period of time located in another prophecy that was interpreted by Gabriel in chapter nine of Daniel which identified that Christ would confirm the covenant with many for one week.

Hii ililingana na kipindi cha muda kilichopatikana katika unabii mwingine uliotafsiriwa na Gabrieli katika sura ya tisa ya Danieli, ulioeleza kwamba Kristo angethibitisha agano pamoja na wengi kwa juma moja.

> And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:27.

> Naye atathibitisha agano na wengi kwa muda wa juma moja; na katikati ya juma atasitisha dhabihu na sadaka, na kwa sababu ya kuenea kwa machukizo ataifanya kuwa ukiwa, hata mpaka utimilifu, na yaliyoamuliwa yatamiminwa juu ya aliye ukiwa. Danieli 9:27.

A prophetic week is twenty-five hundred and twenty symbolic days, and the prophecy that Gabriel was explaining identified that in the “midst” or center of those twenty-five hundred and twenty symbolic days Christ would be crucified. Christ is the center of ‘the twenty-five twenty’ on both of Habakkuk’s tables and also the week He confirmed the covenant with many.

Wiki ya kinabii ni siku elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini za kiishara, na unabii ambao Gabrieli alikuwa akiueleza ulibainisha kwamba “katikati” au kitovu cha hizo siku elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini za kiishara Kristo angesulubiwa. Kristo ndiye kitovu cha ‘the twenty-five twenty’ katika meza zote mbili za Habakuki, na pia ndiye kitovu cha ile wiki ambayo aliuthibitisha agano na wengi.

In 1863 Adventism began as a church and the Millerite movement that had been empowered with the spirit of Elijah was slain. The Millerite movement understood that in the context of the seven churches of Revelation they had been the Philadelphian church. Those that separated from them after the Great Disappointment of 1844, were then identified as Laodiceans. In 1856 James White began a series of articles in the Review and Herald identifying that the movement that began as Philadelphia had become Laodicea and that the members needed then to seek the remedy offered to the Laodicean church. In the same year, in the same publication James White published a series of articles written by Hiram Edson about the twenty-five hundred and twenty year prophecy of Leviticus twenty-six. The articles were never finished.

Mwaka 1863 Uadventista ulianzishwa kama kanisa na harakati ya Wamileraiti ambayo ilikuwa imepewa nguvu kwa roho ya Eliya iliangamizwa. Harakati ya Wamileraiti ilielewa kwamba, katika muktadha wa yale makanisa saba ya Ufunuo, wao walikuwa kanisa la Filadelfia. Wale waliojitenga nao baada ya Kukatishwa Tamaa Kuu la 1844, kisha walitambuliwa kama Walaodikia. Mwaka 1856 James White alianza mfululizo wa makala katika Review and Herald akibainisha kwamba harakati iliyokuwa imeanza kama Filadelfia ilikuwa imekuwa Laodikia, na kwamba wanachama walihitaji basi kutafuta tiba iliyotolewa kwa kanisa la Laodikia. Katika mwaka huo huo, katika chapisho hilo hilo, James White alichapisha mfululizo wa makala yaliyoandikwa na Hiram Edson kuhusu unabii wa miaka elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini wa Walawi sura ya ishirini na sita. Makala hayo hayakuwahi kukamilishwa.

When the Lord led the movement of Future for America back unto the old paths post September 11, 2001 the articles by Edson were rediscovered, and for the first time in history both of the periods twenty-five hundred and twenty years were recognized as two curses. One against the northern ten tribes and the other against the southern two tribes. Miller had identified the seven times against the southern kingdom of Judah, but Edson identified the seven times against the northern kingdom of Israel. Future for America saw that they both were to be applied. When the two scatterings are combined, they produce prophetic light that had never been recognized by Miller or Edson.

Wakati Bwana alipoiongoza harakati ya Future for America kurudi kwenye njia za kale baada ya Septemba 11, 2001, makala za Edson zilipatikana upya, na kwa mara ya kwanza katika historia vipindi vyote viwili vya miaka elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini vilitambuliwa kama laana mbili. Moja dhidi ya makabila kumi ya kaskazini na nyingine dhidi ya makabila mawili ya kusini. Miller alikuwa ametambua “mara saba” dhidi ya ufalme wa kusini wa Yuda, lakini Edson alitambua “mara saba” dhidi ya ufalme wa kaskazini wa Israeli. Future for America waliona kwamba zote mbili zilipaswa kutumika. Wakati matukio hayo mawili ya kutawanywa yanapounganishwa, yanatoa nuru ya kinabii ambayo haijawahi kutambuliwa na Miller wala Edson.

When the Lord returned Future for America to the old paths post 2001 the “oath” of Moses came back to life and stood upon its feet. The message connected with the “oath” was then presented by the messengers of the third angel as it had been presented and typified by the messengers of the first angel. Future for America was the movement that proclaimed the message represented by “Moses” in the power of “Elijah,” and Elijah clearly gave the testimony of Moses until the conclusion of a series of presentations titled Habakkuk’s Tables which finished around 2012. When that series of presentations ended, the beast from the bottomless pit ascended to make war upon Moses and Elijah. That warfare began when Future for America determined to stop the work it had been doing since 1996, and begin a school, which in its pride it called, The School of the Prophets. Better it would have been to call the school, the school of the false prophets!

Wakati Bwana aliporudisha Future for America kwenye njia za kale baada ya 2001, “kiapo” cha Musa kilifufuka na kusimama juu ya miguu yake. Ujumbe uliounganishwa na “kiapo” huo kisha uliwasilishwa na wajumbe wa malaika wa tatu kama ulivyokuwa umewasilishwa na kutiwa mfano na wajumbe wa malaika wa kwanza. Future for America ilikuwa harakati iliyotangaza ujumbe uliowakilishwa na “Musa” katika nguvu ya “Eliya,” na Eliya alitoa kwa wazi ushuhuda wa Musa hadi hitimisho la mfululizo wa mawasilisho yaliyoitwa Meza za Habakuki, ambao ulikamilika takribani mwaka 2012. Wakati mfululizo huo wa mawasilisho ulipoisha, mnyama atokaye katika shimo lisilo na mwisho akapanda ili kufanya vita dhidi ya Musa na Eliya. Vita hivyo vilianza wakati Future for America ilipoazimia kusitisha kazi iliyokuwa ikifanya tangu 1996, na kuanzisha shule, ambayo kwa kiburi iliita Shule ya Manabii. Ingekuwa bora kuiita shule hiyo, shule ya manabii wa uongo!

The chaos and confusion that ensued when the school began allowing those who had never been confirmed by the Lord as His messengers to introduce their own ideas ended with the death of Future for America on July 18, 2020. At that point Moses and Elijah had been slain in the streets.

Machafuko na mkanganyiko vilivyojitokeza wakati shule ilipoanza kuwaruhusu wale ambao hawajawahi kuthibitishwa na Bwana kuwa wajumbe Wake kuwasilisha mawazo yao wenyewe vilimalizika kwa kifo cha Future for America tarehe 18 Julai 2020. Wakati huo Musa na Eliya walikuwa wameuawa mitaani.

> And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:7, 8.

> Na watakapokwisha kumaliza ushuhuda wao, mnyama atokaye kutoka kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho atawapiga vita, na kuwashinda, na kuwaua. Na mizoga yao italala katika barabara ya mji ule mkuu, uitwao kiroho Sodoma na Misri, ambako pia Bwana wetu alisulubiwa. Ufunuo 11:7, 8.

The testimony that is trustworthy, is the testimony that ended at the conclusion of the series titled Habakkuk’s Tables. Then the beast attacked. I have no idea who is following these current articles, but I assume it is made up as much by the enemies of Future for America as it is by those who are still trying to come to terms with the disappointment of July 18. I therefore expect that those that are in the category I define as enemies will point out how self-serving this application of prophetic history appears to be in their minds. So be it. Time is too short to pretend that the history of Future for America is not clearly identified as the movement that has been typified by the Millerite movement and it is too short to pretend that the flawed Laodicean human messenger that was raised up to lead out in that movement was not typified by William Miller.

Ushuhuda unaoaminika ni ule uliomalizika mwishoni mwa mfululizo uitwao Jedwali za Habakuki. Kisha yule mnyama akashambulia. Sijui ni nani anayefuatilia makala hizi za sasa, lakini nadhani wasomaji wake wanajumuisha kwa kiwango sawa maadui wa Future for America na wale ambao bado wanajaribu kukabiliana na masikitiko ya Julai 18. Kwa hiyo natarajia kwamba wale walio katika kundi ninalolieleza kama maadui wataonyesha jinsi matumizi haya ya historia ya kinabii yanavyoonekana kuwa ya kujinufaisha binafsi machoni pao. Basi na iwe hivyo. Muda ni mfupi mno kujifanya kwamba historia ya Future for America haijatambulishwa wazi kama harakati iliyowakilishwa kwa mfano na harakati ya Wamileriti, na pia ni mfupi mno kujifanya kwamba mjumbe wa kibinadamu wa Laodikia mwenye mapungufu aliyeinuliwa kuongoza harakati hiyo hakuwa amefananishwa na William Miller.

Miller was a Philadelphian and I came into Adventism from the world in 1975, thus am a certified Laodicean Adventist. My life history testifies to that fact. That being said, the merciful God of heaven has recently instructed me to put the message He is now revealing into writing and send it to the churches. His instruction came with the promise that when He resurrects Moses and Elijah, they will be resurrected as Philadelphians, not as Laodiceans. The movement that began in the Millerite history was the time of Philadelphia, that ultimately transcended into Laodicea in 1856 when it began the process of its rejection of the foundations laid by the Millerites. The rejection began with the setting aside the new development of light offered through the pen of Hiram Edson. Seven years later in 1863 the movement of Elijah which had presented the message of Moses was slain. At the same time the movement was slain, a church was introduced to replace the movement. Moses and Elijah were slain at the beginning of Adventism and they were slain again at the ending of Adventism.

Miller alikuwa Mfiladelfia, nami niliingia katika Uadventista kutoka ulimwenguni mwaka 1975, hivyo mimi ni Mwadventista wa Laodikia aliyethibitishwa. Historia ya maisha yangu inathibitisha ukweli huo. Pamoja na hayo, Mungu wa rehema wa mbinguni amenielekeza hivi karibuni niweke kwa maandishi ujumbe anaoufichua sasa na kuutuma kwa makanisa. Maagizo yake yalikuja pamoja na ahadi kwamba Atakapowafufua Musa na Eliya, watafufuliwa kama Wafiladelfia, si kama Walaodikia. Harakati iliyoanza katika historia ya Wamilleri ilikuwa wakati wa Filadelfia, ambayo hatimaye iligeuka kuwa Laodikia mnamo 1856 ilipoanza mchakato wa kukataa misingi iliyowekwa na Wamilleri. Ukataaji huo ulianza kwa kuweka kando maendeleo mapya ya nuru yaliyotolewa kupitia kalamu ya Hiram Edson. Miaka saba baadaye, mnamo 1863, harakati ya Eliya iliyokuwa imewasilisha ujumbe wa Musa iliuawa. Wakati huohuo harakati hiyo ilipouawa, kanisa lilianzishwa ili kuchukua nafasi ya harakati hiyo. Musa na Eliya waliuawa mwanzoni mwa Uadventista, na waliuawa tena mwishoni mwa Uadventista.

At the ending of the prophetic Laodicea, in 1989 the vision of the Hiddekel river was unsealed and a movement began that was born of a Laodicean mother. The Lord was not taken unaware and He knew that He would finish His work of the three angels as He began it. He would end it with a movement of Philadelphians, just as He began it and in order to do this the movement that was Laodicean by birth would need to be slain and resurrected as Philadelphians. In doing so, the movement that was brought out of the Laodicean church would become the eighth that is of the seven, in the very history where the three-fold union would become the eighth that is of the seven. And in the very same history the horn of Republicanism will also experience a resurrection of the eighth that was of the seven and had been slain by the “woke-ism” of Egypt and Sodom, but that line of prophecy will be addressed later in the articles.

Mwishoni mwa Laodikia ya kinabii, mnamo 1989 maono ya mto Hiddekel yaliondolewa muhuri na harakati ilianza, iliyozaliwa na mama wa Laodikia. Bwana hakushikwa bila kutarajia, naye alijua kwamba angalikamilisha kazi yake ya malaika watatu kama alivyoianza. Angeimaliza kwa harakati ya Wafiladelfia, kama alivyoianza, na ili kufanya hivyo, harakati ambayo kwa kuzaliwa ilikuwa ya Laodikia ingehitaji kuuawa na kufufuliwa kama Wafiladelfia. Kwa kufanya hivyo, harakati iliyotolewa kutoka katika kanisa la Laodikia ingekuwa wa nane, aliye miongoni mwa wale saba, katika historia ile ile ambamo muungano wa sehemu tatu ungekuwa wa nane, aliye miongoni mwa wale saba. Na katika historia hiyo hiyo pembe ya Republicanism pia itapitia ufufuo wa yule wa nane, aliyekuwa miongoni mwa wale saba, na ambaye alikuwa ameuawa na “woke-ism” ya Misri na Sodoma, lakini mstari huo wa unabii utashughulikiwa baadaye katika makala.

> And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Revelation 11:9–11.

> Na watu wa koo na makabila na lugha na mataifa wataziona mizoga yao kwa siku tatu na nusu, wala hawataruhusu mizoga yao kuwekwa makaburini. Nao wakaao duniani watafurahi juu yao, na kusherehekea, na kutumiana zawadi wao kwa wao; kwa sababu hawa manabii wawili waliwatesa wale wakaao duniani. Na baada ya siku tatu na nusu, Roho wa uzima atokaye kwa Mungu akaingia ndani yao, nao wakasimama juu ya miguu yao; na hofu kuu ikawapata wale waliowaona. Ufunuo 11:9-11.

Future for America did not get put into the grave, it just laid there in the street where it had been slain, while its enemies rejoiced over its apparent death. Yet “after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet.” Time is no longer, so the three and a half days is symbolic of twelve hundred and sixty days or years, that in Revelation twelve verses six and fourteen represent the wilderness where the sanctuary and the host were trodden down. If they had been put into the grave, they would not be in a street where they could be trodden down. The treading down of Future for America is not only a symbolic period, but it is the symbolic period of the message of the “seven times” represented by the oath of Moses.

Future for America haikuwekwa kaburini; ililala tu pale barabarani ambako ilikuwa imeuawa, ilhali maadui zake wakifurahia kifo chake cha dhahiri. Lakini “baada ya siku tatu na nusu Roho wa uzima kutoka kwa Mungu akaingia ndani yao, nao wakasimama juu ya miguu yao.” Muda haupo tena, kwa hiyo zile siku tatu na nusu ni za mfano wa siku elfu moja mia mbili na sitini au miaka elfu moja mia mbili na sitini, ambazo katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi na mbili, mistari ya sita na kumi na nne, zinawakilisha jangwa ambako mahali patakatifu na jeshi vilikanyagwa chini. Kama wangekuwa wamewekwa kaburini, wasingekuwa barabarani ambako wangeweza kukanyagwa. Kukanyagwa kwa Future for America si kipindi cha mfano tu, bali ndicho kipindi cha mfano cha ujumbe wa “mara saba” unaowakilishwa na kiapo cha Musa.

> And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Luke 21:24.

> Nao wataanguka kwa makali ya upanga, na watapelekwa mateka katika mataifa yote; na Yerusalemu utakuwa ukikanyagwa na Mataifa, hata nyakati za Mataifa zitakapotimia. Luka 21:24.

There are three times Jerusalem has been trodden down. First by Babylon from 677 BC until 607 BC. The second trampling down was by pagan Rome from 66 AD until 70 AD. The third time was by spiritual Rome from 538 through to 1798. The treading down of Jerusalem by the Gentiles identified in Luke twenty-one was the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal rule. Revelation eleven, where we find the testimony of Moses and Elijah opens with the identification of that period of time.

Kuna mara tatu ambazo Yerusalemu imekanyagwa. Mara ya kwanza ilikanyagwa na Babeli kuanzia mwaka 677 KK hadi 607 KK. Mara ya pili ilikanyagwa na Roma ya kipagani kuanzia mwaka 66 BK hadi 70 BK. Mara ya tatu ilikanyagwa na Roma ya kiroho kuanzia mwaka 538 hadi 1798. Kukanyagwa kwa Yerusalemu na Mataifa kunakotajwa katika Luka ishirini na moja kulikuwa ni miaka elfu moja mia mbili na sitini ya utawala wa kipapa. Ufunuo kumi na moja, ambamo tunapata ushuhuda wa Musa na Eliya, huanza kwa utambulisho wa kipindi hicho.

> And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Revelation 11:1, 2.

> Na nikapewa mwanzi mfano wa fimbo; na yule malaika akasimama, akasema, Inuka, ukapime hekalu la Mungu, na madhabahu, na wale wanaoabudu humo. Lakini ua lililo nje ya hekalu uache, wala usilipime; kwa maana limekabidhiwa kwa Mataifa; nao wataukanyaga mji mtakatifu chini ya miguu kwa miezi arobaini na miwili. Ufunuo 11:1, 2.

The command for John to measure the temple and the worshippers therein represents the opening of the judgment in 1844, for the previous two verses identify John as having experienced the bitterness of the Great Disappointment in 1844, then after he is told that he must repeat the work of proclaiming the message, verse one of chapter eleven identifies that judgment has just begun.

Amri aliyopokea Yohana ya kupima hekalu na waabuduo waliomo humo inawakilisha kufunguliwa kwa hukumu mwaka 1844, kwa kuwa mistari miwili iliyotangulia inamtambulisha Yohana kama aliyepitia uchungu wa Masikitiko Makuu mwaka 1844; kisha, baada ya kuambiwa kwamba lazima arudie kazi ya kutangaza ujumbe, mstari wa kwanza wa sura ya kumi na moja unaonyesha kwamba hukumu imeanza tu.

> “The time has come when everything is to be shaken that can be shaken, that those things that can not be shaken may remain. Every case is coming in review before God; for he is measuring the temple of God, and the worshipers therein. ‘These things, saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works…. I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast lost thy first love; remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove the candlestick out of his place.’ ‘Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against thee with the sword of my mouth. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches: To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving him that receiveth it.’” The 1888 Materials, 1116.

> "Wakati umefika ambapo kila kitu kinachoweza kutikiswa kitikiswe, ili yale yasiyoweza kutikiswa yabaki. Kila kesi inapitiwa upya mbele za Mungu; kwa maana yeye anapima hekalu la Mungu, na waabuduo waliomo humo. 'Mambo haya, asema yeye ashikaye nyota saba katika mkono wake wa kuume, ayendaye katikati ya vinara saba vya dhahabu; nayajua matendo yako.... Nina jambo dhidi yako, kwa kuwa umeupoteza upendo wako wa kwanza; kumbuka basi ulikoanguka, ukatubu, ukatende matendo ya kwanza; la sivyo nitakuja kwako upesi, nami nitakiondoa kinara kutoka mahali pake.' 'Tubu; la sivyo nitakuja kwako upesi, nami nitapigana nawe kwa upanga wa kinywa changu. Yeye aliye na sikio, na asikie Roho anavyoyaambia makanisa: Yeye ashindaye nitampa kula mana iliyositirika, nami nitampa jiwe jeupe, na juu ya lile jiwe limeandikwa jina jipya, asilolijua mtu ila yule alipokeaye.'" Nyaraka za 1888, 1116.

As John is representing the opening of the investigative judgment in 1844, he is told to leave off the courtyard of the temple, for it is given to the Gentiles who would trample down the holy city for twelve hundred and sixty years. Luke twenty-one identifies that the Gentiles would trample down Jerusalem until the “times” of the Gentiles was fulfilled. John in chapter eleven has just identified that the time of the treading down of Jerusalem by the Gentiles was the history of 538 until 1798. John identifies this period twice in chapter twelve as the wilderness, a period of time that the church fled into to avoid the persecution being brought by the pope.

Yohana anapowakilisha ufunguzi wa hukumu ya uchunguzi mwaka 1844, anaambiwa aache nje ua wa hekalu, maana umekabidhiwa mikononi mwa Mataifa watakaoikanyaga mji mtakatifu kwa miaka elfu moja mia mbili na sitini. Luka 21 inaonyesha kwamba Mataifa wataikanyaga Yerusalemu hadi “nyakati” za Mataifa zitakapotimia. Yohana katika sura ya 11 amebainisha hivi punde kwamba wakati wa kukanyagwa kwa Yerusalemu na Mataifa ulikuwa kipindi cha kihistoria kuanzia 538 hadi 1798. Yohana anautaja kipindi hiki mara mbili katika sura ya 12 kama nyika, kipindi ambacho kanisa kilikimbilia huko ili kuepuka mateso yaliyokuwa yakiletwa na papa.

When Moses and Elijah are slain and left in the street to be trodden down for a period of three and a half days, the three previous histories when Jerusalem was trodden down are to be understood as typifying that period of time. In Luke twenty-one the Gentiles would tread down the holy city until the “times” of the Gentiles would be fulfilled.

Wakati Musa na Eliya wanapouawa na kuachwa barabarani ili wakanyagwe kwa kipindi cha siku tatu na nusu, nyakati tatu za awali ambazo Yerusalemu ilikanyagwa zinapaswa kufahamika kama kielelezo cha kipindi hicho. Katika Luka ishirini na moja, Mataifa watakanyaga mji mtakatifu hadi "nyakati" za Mataifa zitakapotimia.

Thus, Luke identifies more than one time of the Gentiles, but we know the time of the Gentiles being fulfilled was 1798. The first “time of the Gentiles” began in 723 BC when the northern kingdom of Israel was trodden down by Assyria. That treading down began a trampling down by a pagan power and continued until 538 when the papal power carried on the work until 1798. Paganism scattered and trampled down literal Israel and papalism scattered and trampled down spiritual Israel. The “times” of the Gentiles represent the twenty-five hundred and twenty years of Leviticus twenty-six that represents two periods of treading down. The first was carried out by paganism as represented by Assyria, then Babylon, then pagan Rome. Then the second desolating power that Miller identified in the sacred framework of prophecy he employed, was papalism which would continue the treading down until 1798. The treading down of both paganism and papalism is the very question that is raised in the heavenly dialogue that produces the answer that is the foundation and central pillar of Adventism.

Hivyo, Luka anabainisha nyakati zaidi ya moja za Mataifa, lakini tunajua kwamba utimilifu wa nyakati za Mataifa ulikuwa mwaka 1798. Wakati wa kwanza wa "nyakati za Mataifa" ulianza mwaka 723 KK, wakati ufalme wa kaskazini wa Israeli ulipokanyagwa na Ashuru. Kukanyagwa huko kulianzwa na nguvu ya kipagani na kukaendelea hadi 538; kisha mamlaka ya kipapa ikaendeleza kazi hiyo hadi 1798. Upagani ulitawanya na kukanyaga Israeli wa kimwili, na upapa ulitawanya na kukanyaga Israeli wa kiroho. "Nyakati" za Mataifa zinawakilisha miaka elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini ya Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita, inayowakilisha vipindi viwili vya kukanyagwa. Cha kwanza kilitekelezwa na upagani kama unavyowakilishwa na Ashuru, kisha Babeli, kisha Roma ya kipagani. Kisha nguvu ya pili ya kutia ukiwa ambayo Miller aliitambua katika mfumo mtakatifu wa unabii alioutumia ilikuwa upapa, ambao ungeendelea na kukanyaga hadi 1798. Kukanyaga kunakofanywa na upagani pamoja na upapa ndilo swali lenyewe linaloibuliwa katika mazungumzo ya mbinguni yanayotoa jibu ambalo ndilo msingi na nguzo kuu ya Uadventista.

> Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel 8:13, 14.

> Ndipo nikamsikia mtakatifu mmoja akisema, na mtakatifu mwingine akamwambia yule mtakatifu aliyekuwa akinena, Hata lini yatadumu maono kuhusu dhabihu ya kila siku na uasi wa uharibifu, ili mahali patakatifu pamoja na jeshi viwe kitu cha kukanyagwa? Akaniambia, Hata siku elfu mbili na mia tatu; ndipo mahali patakatifu patatakaswa. Danieli 8:13, 14.

The angel Gabriel and other angels led Miller to understand that the “daily” represented paganism and that the “transgression of desolation” represented papalism. Both paganism and papalism would trample down the sanctuary and host. Therefore the “times” of the Gentiles which Luke refers to is the two trampling down periods of twelve hundred and sixty years, that together are the seven times of Leviticus twenty-six.

Malaika Gabrieli na malaika wengine walimwongoza Miller kuelewa kwamba “cha kila siku” kilimaanisha upagani na kwamba “maasi ya uharibifu” yalimaanisha upapa. Upagani na upapa vyote vingelikanyaga chini mahali patakatifu na jeshi. Kwa hiyo “nyakati za Mataifa” ambazo Luka anarejea ni vipindi viwili vya kukanyagwa chini vya miaka elfu moja na mia mbili na sitini, ambavyo kwa pamoja ndizo mara saba za Walawi ishirini na sita.

The message of the “oath” of Moses was slain in 1863, along with the messenger Elijah who had presented the message of Moses. Both the message of Moses and the Elijah messenger was resurrected post September 11, 2001. After the message of Moses that was once again proclaimed by Elijah, they were both slain and then left in the street and not buried for twelve hundred and sixty days is a direct connection to the message of the “seven times” that Daniel calls the “oath” of Moses. The movement and the messenger that repeats the Elijah message of Moses as typified by Miller and the Millerites will ultimately stand upon its feet and be resurrected.

Ujumbe wa "kiapo" cha Musa ulizimwa mwaka 1863, na mjumbe Elia aliyekuwa ametangaza ujumbe wa Musa pia aliuawa. Ujumbe wa Musa pamoja na mjumbe Elia walifufuliwa baada ya Septemba 11, 2001. Baada ya ujumbe wa Musa kutangazwa tena na Elia, wote wawili waliuawa kisha wakaachwa barabarani bila kuzikwa kwa siku elfu moja mia mbili na sitini; jambo hili lina uhusiano wa moja kwa moja na ujumbe wa "mara saba" ambao Danieli aliuita "kiapo" cha Musa. Harakati na mjumbe wanaorudia ujumbe wa Musa kama ulivyotolewa na Elia, kama walivyofananishwa na Miller na Wamillerite, hatimaye watasimama juu ya miguu yao na kufufuliwa.

> And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:11, 12.

> Na baada ya siku tatu na nusu Roho ya uzima itokayo kwa Mungu iliingia ndani yao, nao wakasimama juu ya miguu yao; na hofu kuu ikawapata wale waliowaona. Nao wakasikia sauti kuu kutoka mbinguni ikiwaambia, Njoni hapa juu. Nao wakapaa kwenda mbinguni katika wingu; na adui zao wakawaona. Ufunuo 11:11, 12.
