On July 18, 2020 the first disappointment of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand arrived. It occurred within the “hidden history” of verse forty of Daniel eleven. The disappointment occurred well into that “hidden history”—a history that began with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. Verse forty-one represents the Sunday law in the United States, that is also represented in verse sixteen of the same chapter. The “unsealing” of the truths that make up the “hidden history” of verse forty in 2023 is presented by Daniel in chapter twelve. Chapters ten through twelve are the same vision, and the vision begins by identifying that Daniel represents the “wise” who understand both the internal and external messages of prophecy, which is there represented as “the thing” and “the vision.”

Tarehe 18 Julai 2020 sikitiko la kwanza la harakati ya wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu lilitokea. Lilijitokeza ndani ya “historia iliyositirika” ya aya ya arobaini ya Danieli sura ya kumi na moja. Sikitiko hilo lilitokea ndani kabisa ya “historia” hiyo iliyositirika—historia iliyoanza kwa kusambaratika kwa Umoja wa Kisovyeti mnamo 1989. Aya ya arobaini na moja inawakilisha sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani, ambayo pia inawakilishwa katika aya ya kumi na sita ya sura hiyo hiyo. “Kufunguliwa” kwa kweli zinazounda “historia iliyositirika” ya aya ya arobaini mnamo 2023 kunawasilishwa na Danieli katika sura ya kumi na mbili. Sura ya kumi hadi kumi na mbili ni maono yale yale, na maono hayo huanza kwa kubainisha kwamba Danieli anawakilisha “wenye hekima” wanaoelewa ujumbe wa unabii wa ndani na wa nje; ujumbe huo humo umeonyeshwa kama “neno” na “maono.”

> 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.

## Two Visions

Maono Mawili

The “thing” and the “vision” represent the internal and external visions of prophecy, and Daniel represents a people who understand both, for both the “thing” and the “vision” were “revealed” to Daniel in chapter ten. In the chapter, on the twenty-second day, the vision of Christ in the sanctuary was “revealed” to Daniel. The Hebrew word translated as “thing” is translated as “matter” in chapter nine, and it is also presented there in connection with the “vision.”

Maneno "jambo" na "maono" yanawakilisha maono ya ndani na ya nje ya unabii, naye Danieli anawakilisha watu wanaoelewa yote mawili, kwa kuwa maneno yote mawili, "jambo" na "maono", "yalifunuliwa" kwa Danieli katika sura ya kumi. Katika sura hiyo, siku ya ishirini na mbili, maono ya Kristo katika patakatifu "yalifunuliwa" kwa Danieli. Neno la Kiebrania linalotafsiriwa kama "jambo" hutafsiriwa kama "suala" katika sura ya tisa, nalo pia huwasilishwa huko likihusishwa na "maono".

> At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Daniel 9:23.

> Mwanzo wa maombi yako, amri ilitoka, nami nimekuja kukuonyesha; kwa maana wewe ni mpendwa sana; basi fahamu jambo hilo, na uzingatie maono. Danieli 9:23.

The word “thing” in chapter ten is the same word translated as “matter” in verse twenty-three of chapter nine. In Daniel’s final vision of chapters ten through twelve; the “thing” of chapter eleven or the “matter” of chapter ten are both connected with “the vision.” The “vision” is the Hebrew word, “mareh,” and means “appearance.” Daniel identifies two “visions” in his book, though one of those two “visions” is represented by in the feminine tense and then again in the masculine tense. Daniel in verse one of chapter ten represents those who understand the “vision” of the appearance, and also the “matter” or the “thing.” In chapter eight Daniel identifies two “visions” connected with one another. In the English the word vision is found eight times in the chapter, and one of the Hebrew words translated as “vision” is “mareh,” and the other is “chazon.” Mareh means “appearance,” and chazon means “a dream, a revelation or an oracle.” The context of chapter eight establishes that when the word “mareh” is translated as “vision” it represents the “appearance of Christ.”

Neno "thing" katika sura ya kumi ni neno lilelile linalotafsiriwa kuwa "matter" katika aya ya ishirini na tatu ya sura ya tisa. Katika maono ya mwisho ya Danieli ya sura ya kumi hadi kumi na mbili, "thing" ya sura ya kumi na moja na "matter" ya sura ya kumi vyote vinaunganishwa na "the vision." "The vision" ni neno la Kiebrania, "mareh," na humaanisha "mwonekano." Danieli anatambua "maono" mawili katika kitabu chake, ijapokuwa mojawapo ya hayo "maono" mawili limewasilishwa kwa jinsia ya kike, na tena kwa jinsia ya kiume. Danieli, katika aya ya kwanza ya sura ya kumi, anawakilisha wale wanaoelewa "the vision" ya mwonekano, na pia wanaoelewa "matter" au "thing." Katika sura ya nane Danieli anatambua "maono" mawili yaliyounganishwa kila kimoja na kingine. Katika Kiingereza neno "vision" linapatikana mara nane katika sura hiyo, na mojawapo ya maneno ya Kiebrania yanayotafsiriwa kuwa "vision" ni "mareh," na jingine ni "chazon." Mareh humaanisha "mwonekano," na chazon humaanisha "ndoto, ufunuo au tamko la kinabii." Muktadha wa sura ya nane unaweka wazi kwamba wakati neno "mareh" linapotafsiriwa kuwa "vision" linawakilisha "mwonekano wa Kristo."

As an example, it is the “mareh” or the “appearance vision” in Daniel 8:14, meaning that on October 22, 1844 Christ would suddenly appear in the temple in fulfillment of Malachi three’s Messenger of the Covenant, which Sister White said was fulfilled on October 22, 1844. When Sister White identifies that the angel of Revelation ten that descended and placed one foot on the land and one on the sea was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ” she was identifying a waymark in prophecy where Christ appears. It is one of His many appearances. He appeared at the resurrection of Moses according to Jude. There He appeared as Michael the archangel, but never-the-less it was a prophetic appearance. The mareh vision in chapter eight is also translated as “appearance,” in agreement with its meaning.

Kwa mfano, ni “mareh,” au “maono ya kuonekana,” katika Danieli 8:14, ikimaanisha kwamba tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844 Kristo angeonekana ghafla hekaluni katika utimilifu wa Mjumbe wa Agano wa Malaki sura ya tatu, jambo ambalo Dada White alisema lilitimia tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844. Dada White anapotambua kwamba yule malaika wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi aliyeshuka na kuweka mguu mmoja juu ya nchi na mwingine juu ya bahari alikuwa “si mwingine ila Yesu Kristo mwenyewe,” alikuwa akitambua alama ya njia katika unabii ambamo Kristo huonekana. Huo ni mmojawapo wa maonekano yake mengi. Alijitokeza katika ufufuo wa Musa kulingana na Yuda. Huko alionekana kama Mikaeli, malaika mkuu, lakini hata hivyo lilikuwa ni kuonekana kwa kinabii. Maono ya mareh katika sura ya nane pia hutafsiriwa kuwa “kuonekana,” sanjari na maana yake.

> And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. Daniel 8:15.

> Ikawa, nilipoona maono hayo, mimi, naam, mimi Danieli, nikatafuta maana yake, ndipo, tazama, akasimama mbele yangu mmoja mfano wa mwanadamu. Danieli 8:15.

The context here identifies that it was the angel Gabriel that had the “appearance of a man, and the word “appearance” is the mareh vision’s appearance of Christ, for just as Christ is represented by Michael the archangel, and by the mighty angel of Revelation ten, Christ is interchangeable prophetically with the symbolism of angels, and even men. Whether Gabriel in the verse or Christ in Revelation ten or as Michael the archangel, they each represent a message, and for this reason Sister White compares the angels of Revelation with both the message they represent and the people that proclaim the message represented by the angels. This truth is so important that within the first three verses of Revelation chapter one, the three verses that announce the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, just before probation closes, for “the time is at hand,” the communication process of God to man is specifically identified as a message from the Father, that was given to the Son, who then gives the message to an angel, who then takes it to a man, who in turn sends it to the churches. Every step of the communication process is sacred and holy, and that sanctified holiness is represented at the prophetic waymarks where Christ appears as Himself, or through an angel, man or message. When He directly associates Himself at a waymark it is the “mareh” “appearance vision.”

Muktadha hapa unaonyesha kwamba aliyekuwa na ‘kuonekana kama mwanadamu’ alikuwa ni malaika Gabrieli, na neno ‘kuonekana’ ni mareh—yaani kuonekana kwa Kristo katika maono ya mareh—kwa kuwa, kama vile Kristo anawakilishwa na Mikaeli, malaika mkuu, na pia na yule malaika hodari wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi, Kristo katika unabii anaweza kubadilishanwa na ishara za kimfano za malaika, na hata wanadamu. Iwe ni Gabrieli katika aya hiyo, au Kristo katika Ufunuo kumi, au kama Mikaeli malaika mkuu, kila mmoja wao anawakilisha ujumbe; na kwa sababu hii Dada White analinganisha malaika wa Ufunuo na ujumbe wanaouwakilisha pamoja na watu wanaoutangaza ujumbe unaowakilishwa na hao malaika. Kweli hii ni muhimu mno kiasi kwamba, ndani ya aya tatu za kwanza za sura ya kwanza ya Ufunuo—aya tatu zinazotangaza kuondolewa muhuri kwa Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo—kabla tu mlango wa rehema kufungwa, kwa kuwa ‘wakati umekaribia’, mchakato wa mawasiliano wa Mungu kwa mwanadamu unatambuliwa mahsusi kuwa ni ujumbe kutoka kwa Baba, uliotolewa kwa Mwana, ambaye kisha anamkabidhi ujumbe huo malaika, ambaye naye anaupeleka kwa mwanadamu, ambaye naye kwa upande wake anaupeleka kwa makanisa. Kila hatua ya mchakato huo wa mawasiliano ni takatifu na yenye utakatifu, na huo utakatifu uliowekwa wakfu unawakilishwa katika alama za njia za kinabii ambamo Kristo hujitokeza kama Yeye Mwenyewe, au kupitia malaika, mwanadamu, au ujumbe. Anapojihusisha moja kwa moja katika alama ya njia, hiyo ni ‘mareh’, ‘maono ya kuonekana’.

> The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. … And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 1:1–3; 22:10, 11.

> Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo, alioupewa na Mungu, awaonyeshe watumwa wake mambo ambayo hayana budi kuwako upesi; naye akatuma kwa mkono wa malaika wake, akamjulisha mtumwa wake Yohana; ambaye alilishuhudia neno la Mungu, na ushuhuda wa Yesu Kristo, na yote aliyoyaona. Heri asomaye, na wao waisikiao maneno ya unabii huu, na kuyashika yaliyoandikwa humo; kwa maana wakati u karibu. ... Akaniambia, Usiyatie muhuri maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki; kwa maana wakati u karibu. Adhalimu na azidi kuwa adhalimu; na mchafu na azidi kuwa mchafu; na mwenye haki na azidi kufanya haki; na mtakatifu na azidi kutakaswa. Ufunuo 1:1-3; 22:10, 11.

In chapter eight, “chazon” is the other Hebrew word which is translated as “vision.” In relation to the “appearance” the “marah” vision is identifying a waymark, and the “chazon” vision is identifying a prophetic period. There is a divine symmetry with the two words translated as “vision” in chapter eight, in the sense the Hebrew word “mareh” is also employed by Daniel in its feminine form of “marah.” With the chazon Daniel represents it two ways, but not through a masculine and feminine contrast, but with two words that identify the same meaning, but in doing so, they expand exponentially.

Katika sura ya nane, “chazon” ni neno lingine la Kiebrania linalotafsiriwa kuwa “maono.” Kuhusiana na “mwonekano,” maono ya “marah” yanabainisha alama ya njia, na maono ya “chazon” yanabainisha kipindi cha kinabii. Kuna uwiano wa kimungu katika maneno mawili yanayotafsiriwa kuwa “maono” katika sura ya nane, kwa maana neno la Kiebrania “mareh” pia linatumiwa na Danieli katika umbo lake la kike, yaani “marah.” Kuhusu “chazon” Danieli analiwakilisha kwa njia mbili, lakini si kwa kupitia tofauti ya kiume na ya kike, bali kwa maneno mawili yanayotambulisha maana ileile; na kwa kufanya hivyo, yanatanuka kwa kasi isiyo ya kawaida.

Chazon means the vision, or the oracle, or prophecy and the word that is translated as either “matter” or “thing” in the English is the Hebrew word “dabar” which means “the word.” When it understood that “chazon” vision is also represented by Daniel with the word “dabar,” then together they represent the prophetic messages of God’s Word. Daniel always contrasts “dabar” or “chazon” with “mareh.” When considered at the prophetic level the “prophetic messages of God’s Word,” as represented by “dabar” and “chazon” when brought together with the “marah” vision of Christ’s appearance you then have the sacred waymarks of the prophetic history of God’s Word. Then if you add “marah,” the feminine tense of the word “mareh” to the line of meanings of vision in Daniel you have the looking glass vision of justification by faith.

Chazon humaanisha maono, au kauli ya ufunuo, au unabii; na neno linalotafsiriwa kwa Kiingereza kama “matter” au “thing” ni neno la Kiebrania “dabar” ambalo humaanisha “neno.” Ikieleweka kwamba maono ya “chazon” pia yanawakilishwa na Danieli kwa neno “dabar,” basi kwa pamoja yanawakilisha ujumbe wa kinabii wa Neno la Mungu. Danieli siku zote hutofautisha “dabar” au “chazon” na “mareh.” Unapotazamwa katika kiwango cha kinabii, “ujumbe wa kinabii wa Neno la Mungu,” kama unavyowakilishwa na “dabar” na “chazon,” unapounganishwa na maono ya “marah” ya kuonekana kwa Kristo, hapo unakuwa na alama takatifu za historia ya kinabii ya Neno la Mungu. Kisha ukiongeza “marah,” umbo la kike la neno “mareh,” katika mfululizo wa maana za maono katika Danieli, unapata maono ya kioo cha kuangalia ya kuhesabiwa haki kwa imani.

In Daniel’s last vision, represented by the last three chapters of his book, Daniel represents a people in the last days who understand the “prophetic visions” of “God’s Word,” and the sacredness of holy waymarks which make up the reformatory movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for they are those who follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth in His sacred prophetic Word. As they follow the Lamb, He leads them to the looking glass vision of Daniel 10:7 where they either flee to hide under error, where they are buried for eternity, or they are humbled in the dust, justified and empowered to give the prophetic message of the latter days.

Katika maono ya mwisho ya Danieli, yanayowakilishwa na sura tatu za mwisho za kitabu chake, Danieli anawakilisha watu wa siku za mwisho wanaoelewa “maono ya kinabii” ya “Neno la Mungu,” na utakatifu wa alama takatifu za njia zinazounda harakati ya marekebisho ya mia moja arobaini na nne elfu, kwa kuwa hao ndio wafuatao Mwana-Kondoo kokote aendako katika Neno lake takatifu la kinabii. Nao wanapomfuata Mwana-Kondoo, Yeye huwaongoza kwenye maono ya kioo cha kujiangalia yaliyo katika Danieli 10:7, ambako ama hukimbilia kujificha chini ya upotoshi, ambako huzikwa milele, au hunyenyekezwa mavumbini, wakahesabiwa haki na kutiwa uwezo wa kutoa ujumbe wa kinabii wa siku za mwisho.

Gabriel commands Daniel to “understand” both the “matter” and the “vision.” The Hebrew word translated as “understand” means “to make a mental distinction.” Daniel, who represents you and I dear reader, was commanded to understand the difference and distinction between the “matter” and the “vision.” The chazon vision represents the external line of prophetic history and the mareh vision represents the appearance of Christ. The “matter” and the “thing” is the Hebrew word “dabar” which means the word. Jesus is the “dabar,” for He is the Word. The “thing” and the “matter,” both being the “dabar” are presented in connection with the vision of the appearance.

Gabrieli anamwamuru Danieli “kuelewa” yote mawili, yaani “jambo” na “maono.” Neno la Kiebrania linalotafsiriwa “kuelewa” humaanisha “kufanya utambuzi wa kiakili.” Danieli, ambaye anamwakilisha wewe na mimi, msomaji mpendwa, aliagizwa aelewe tofauti na ubainishaji uliopo kati ya “jambo” na “maono.” Maono ya “chazon” yanawakilisha mstari wa nje wa historia ya kinabii, na maono ya “mareh” yanawakilisha kuonekana kwa Kristo. Maneno “jambo” na “kitu” yanatafsiri neno la Kiebrania “dabar,” ambalo humaanisha “neno.” Yesu ndiye “dabar,” kwa kuwa Yeye ndiye Neno. “Kitu” na “jambo,” vyote vikiwa “dabar,” vimewasilishwa katika uhusiano na maono ya mwonekano.

The dabar, which is the matter and the thing, is also the chazon vision of chapter eight and it represents the vision of prophetic history. Each of those representations (chazon, dabar, matter and thing) identify the external line of prophecy, and the mareh, and its feminine expression of marah, represent the internal line of prophecy. God’s latter-day people, represented in verse one of Daniel ten, understand both the internal and external lines of prophetic history. In the book of Revelation, the internal line is represented with seven churches and the external line is represented by seven seals.

Dabar, ambalo ni jambo na kitu, pia ni maono ya chazon ya sura ya nane, nalo linawakilisha maono ya historia ya kinabii. Kila mojawapo ya aina hizo za uwakilishi (chazon, dabar, jambo na kitu) hutambulisha mstari wa nje wa unabii, na mareh, pamoja na umbo lake la kike, marah, huwakilisha mstari wa ndani wa unabii. Watu wa Mungu wa siku za mwisho, wanaowakilishwa katika aya ya kwanza ya Danieli kumi, wanaelewa mistari yote miwili ya historia ya kinabii, wa ndani na wa nje. Katika Kitabu cha Ufunuo, mstari wa ndani unawakilishwa na makanisa saba, na mstari wa nje unawakilishwa na mihuri saba.

When Daniel saw the vision of Christ after a twenty-one day fast, he saw the feminine expression of the mareh vision. The mareh is the “appearance” and when Daniel saw Christ, He saw the “marah” vision, and though mareh means appearance, the feminine of the same word means “a looking glass.” Sister White informs us the vision Daniel saw was the vision which John saw, and John saw the vision when Christ was in the heavenly sanctuary.

Wakati Danieli alipoona maono ya Kristo baada ya kufunga kwa siku ishirini na moja, aliona umbo la kike la maono ya “mareh.” “Mareh” ni “mwonekano,” na Danieli alipoona Kristo, aliona maono ya “marah”; na ijapokuwa “mareh” humaanisha mwonekano, umbo la kike la neno hilo hilo humaanisha “kioo.” Dada White anatufahamisha kwamba maono ambayo Danieli aliona ndiyo yale ambayo Yohana aliona, na Yohana aliona maono hayo wakati Kristo alikuwa katika patakatifu pa mbinguni.

> “At the time of Gabriel’s visit, the prophet Daniel was unable to receive further instruction; but a few years afterward, desiring to know more of subjects not yet fully explained, he again set himself to seek light and wisdom from God. ‘In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all…. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.’

> Wakati wa ziara ya Gabrieli, nabii Danieli hakuweza kupokea mafundisho zaidi; lakini miaka michache baadaye, akitamani kujua zaidi kuhusu mambo ambayo bado hayakuwa yameelezwa kikamilifu, akaazimia tena kutafuta nuru na hekima kutoka kwa Mungu. 'Katika siku zile mimi, Danieli, nilikuwa nikiomboleza majuma matatu kamili. Sikula mkate mtamu, wala nyama wala divai havikuingia kinywani mwangu, wala sikujipaka mafuta kabisa.... Kisha nikainua macho yangu, nikaangalia, na tazama, mtu fulani aliyekuwa amevaa kitani, viuno vyake vimefungwa kwa dhahabu nzuri ya Ufazi. Mwili wake nao ulikuwa kama berili, na uso wake kama kuonekana kwa umeme, na macho yake kama taa za moto, na mikono yake na miguu yake kama rangi ya shaba iliyosuguliwa, na sauti ya maneno yake kama sauti ya umati.'

> “No less a personage than the Son of God appeared to Daniel. This description is similar to that given by John when Christ was revealed to him upon the Isle of Patmos. Our Lord now comes with another heavenly messenger to teach Daniel what would take place in the latter days. This knowledge was given to Daniel and recorded by inspiration for us upon whom the ends of the world are come.

> Si mwingine ila Mwana wa Mungu mwenyewe alimtokea Danieli. Maelezo haya yanafanana na yale yaliyotolewa na Yohana wakati Kristo alifunuliwa kwake kisiwani Patmo. Bwana wetu sasa anakuja pamoja na mjumbe mwingine wa mbinguni kumfundisha Danieli yale yatakayotokea katika siku za mwisho. Maarifa haya yalitolewa kwa Danieli na yakaandikwa kwa uvuvio kwa ajili yetu, ambao mwisho wa dunia umetujilia.

> “The great truths revealed by the world’s Redeemer are for those who search for truth as for hid treasures. Daniel was an aged man. His life had been passed amid the fascinations of a heathen court, his mind cumbered with the affairs of a great empire; yet he turns aside from all these to afflict his soul before God, and seek a knowledge of the purposes of the Most High. And in response to his supplications, light from the heavenly courts was communicated for those who should live in the latter days. With what earnestness, then, should we seek God, that he may open our understanding to comprehend the truths brought to us from Heaven.” Review and Herald, February 8, 1881.

> Kweli kuu zilizofunuliwa na Mkombozi wa ulimwengu zimekusudiwa kwa wale wanaoutafuta ukweli kama vile mtu atafutavyo hazina zilizofichwa. Danieli alikuwa mtu mzee. Maisha yake yalikuwa yamepita katikati ya vishawishi vya ikulu ya kipagani, akili yake ikiwa imelemewa na shughuli za himaya kuu; ilhali anajitenga na hayo yote ili kuitesa nafsi yake mbele za Mungu, na kutafuta maarifa ya makusudi ya Aliye Juu Sana. Na kwa kuitikia maombi yake ya kusihi, nuru kutoka mabaraza ya mbinguni ikafunuliwa kwa ajili ya wale watakaoishi katika siku za mwisho. Basi, kwa bidii iliyoje tunapaswa kumtafuta Mungu, ili afungue ufahamu wetu tuelewe kweli zilizoletwa kwetu kutoka mbinguni. Review and Herald, Februari 8, 1881.

## The 144,000

Wale 144,000

Daniel understands the “thing” and the “vision” and he is identified as Daniel and also as Belteshazzar. The change of a name in prophecy represents a covenant relationship, so Daniel represents the final covenant people who are the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are tested by the vision of Christ in the temple. That test causes a separation of two classes of worshippers.

Danieli anaelewa “jambo” na “maono,” naye anatambulishwa kama Danieli na pia kama Belteshaza. Kubadilishwa kwa jina katika unabii kunawakilisha uhusiano wa agano, hivyo Danieli anawakilisha watu wa mwisho wa agano ambao ni mia na arobaini na nne elfu, wanaojaribiwa kwa maono ya Kristo ndani ya hekalu. Jaribio hilo husababisha mgawanyiko kati ya makundi mawili ya waabuduo.

> And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Daniel 10:7.

> Na mimi, Danieli, peke yangu nikaona maono; kwa maana wale watu waliokuwa pamoja nami hawakuyaona maono; bali tetemeko kuu liliwaangukia, hata wakakimbia ili kujificha. Danieli 10:7.

Daniel is directly identifying the second and temple test associated with God’s latter-day people; a test that is premised upon seeing Christ in the heavenly sanctuary. The vision of verse seven is the feminine of the mareh vision, represented as the marah vision. If you respond to the temple vision of Christ as represented by Daniel’s response, the prophetic “thing” and the prophetic “vision” will be “revealed” to you.

Danieli anabainisha moja kwa moja jaribio la pili na la hekalu linalohusishwa na watu wa Mungu wa nyakati za mwisho; jaribio ambalo linajengeka juu ya kumwona Kristo katika patakatifu pa mbinguni. Maono ya aya ya saba ni umbo la kike la maono ya mareh, yanayowakilishwa kama maono ya marah. Ukiitikia maono ya Kristo ya hekalu kama yanavyowakilishwa na mwitikio wa Danieli, “jambo” la kinabii na “maono” ya kinabii “yatafunuliwa” kwako.

If you relate to the very same temple vision of Christ by fleeing to hide, you go into eternal darkness. The temple test, which is the second test of the three steps of the everlasting gospel is preceded by the first and foundational test. The testing question of the foundations is represented in verse fourteen of Daniel eleven, where Rome is represented as the “robbers of thy people” that establishes the “vision.”

Ikiwa unaitikia maono yale yale ya hekalu la Kristo kwa kukimbia na kujificha, unaingia katika giza la milele. Jaribio la hekalu, ambalo ni jaribio la pili kati ya hatua tatu za injili ya milele, hutanguliwa na jaribio la kwanza na la msingi. Swali la kupima misingi linawakilishwa katika aya ya kumi na nne ya Danieli kumi na moja, ambapo Roma inawakilishwa kama ‘wanyang’anyi wa watu wako’ wanaoyathibitisha ‘maono’.

## The Time is at Hand

Wakati Uko Karibu

Three and a half days after July 18, 2020’s disappointment, on December 31, 2023 the revelation of Jesus Christ began to be unsealed, for the “time was at hand.”

Siku tatu na nusu baada ya kuvunjika kwa matumaini kulikotokea tarehe 18 Julai 2020, tarehe 31 Desemba 2023 mihuri ya ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo ilianza kufunguliwa, kwa maana "wakati ulikuwa umekaribia."

> Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. … And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:3; 22:10.

> Heri yeye asomaye, na wale wasikiao maneno ya unabii huu, na kuyashika yaliyoandikwa humo; kwa kuwa wakati umekaribia. ... Naye akaniambia, Usiitie muhuri maneno ya unabii wa kitabu hiki; kwa kuwa wakati umekaribia. Ufunuo 1:3; 22:10.

The “time” that identifies the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is referenced at the beginning of the book of Revelation and at the end of the book the identical pronouncement adds to the alpha statement, with an omega statement.

“Wakati” unaobainisha kufunguliwa kwa muhuri wa Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo unarejelewa mwanzoni mwa Kitabu cha Ufunuo; na mwishoni mwa kitabu hicho, tamko lilelile linaongeza tamko la Omega juu ya tamko la Alfa.

The revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed just before the close of probation. On the twenty-second day, following a fast of twenty-one days the “thing,” which is also the “matter,” which is also the dabar or the Word, which is also the chazon vision of external prophetic history was revealed to Daniel as he experienced the looking glass, marah vision of the heavenly high priest in the Most Holy Place.

Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo huondolewa muhuri kabla tu ya kufungwa kwa mlango wa rehema. Siku ya ishirini na mbili, baada ya mfungo wa siku ishirini na moja, kile "kitu", ambacho pia ni "jambo", ambacho pia ni dabar, yaani Neno, ambacho pia ni maono ya chazon ya historia ya kinabii ya nje, kilifunuliwa kwa Danieli alipoyashuhudia maono ya kioo, marah, ya Kuhani Mkuu wa mbinguni katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu.

Daniel represents those who have the experience of the looking glass vision, and who also understand the prophetic appearances of Christ, as well as the external history represented by the chazon vision. The marah vision represents Christ as a prophetic waymark, and the feminine of the same word represents the experience produced through beholding the glory of God, as represented by Daniel, John, Isaiah, Sister White and other prophets.

Danieli anawakilisha wale walio na uzoefu wa maono ya kioo, na ambao pia wanaelewa madhihirisho ya kinabii ya Kristo, pamoja na historia ya nje inayowakilishwa na maono ya chazon. Maono ya marah yanamwakilisha Kristo kama alama ya njia ya kinabii, na fomu ya kike ya neno hilo hilo inawakilisha uzoefu unaotokana na kutazama utukufu wa Mungu, kama inavyowakilishwa na Danieli, Yohana, Isaya, Dada White na manabii wengine.

At this level the chazon external vision represents the foundational test, and the mareh vision of Christ’s appearances in the prophetic sequence of events is the temple test. Has Christ appeared in the Most Holy Place within your own Most Holy Place? That is where Divinity is joined to humanity. This is the test that must be passed, before probation closes at the litmus test. The litmus test which manifests character is the marah looking glass vision.

Katika hatua hii, maono ya nje ya chazon yanawakilisha jaribio la msingi, na maono ya mareh ya kuonekana kwa Kristo katika mlolongo wa kinabii wa matukio ndio jaribio la Hekalu. Je, Kristo ameonekana katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, ndani ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu pako mwenyewe? Huko ndiko Uungu huunganishwa na ubinadamu. Hili ndilo jaribio ambalo lazima lipitwe kabla kipindi cha rehema hakijafungwa katika kipimo cha lakmusi. Kipimo cha lakmusi kinachodhihirisha tabia ni maono ya kioo cha marah.

On December 31, 2023, the external test of the foundation began over verse fourteen’s “robbers of thy people,” and when the current pope was inaugurated on May 8, 2025 the “vision” of verse fourteen was established. The foundational test moved to the temple test. Since May 9, 2025 the temple test has been under way. The resurrection of the two witnesses on December 31, 2023, was represented in verse eleven of Revelation eleven, and the resurrection which began on that date occurred within the period of the Ukraine War that began in 2014, escalating in 2022. The external and internal lines of prophecy came together in that history. On December 31, 2023, the work of laying a foundation was under way, a work typified by the history of 1798 unto 1840, and also by 1840 unto 1844, and also by April 19, 1844 unto October 22, 1844.

Tarehe 31 Desemba 2023, jaribio la nje la msingi lilianza kuhusu maneno ya mstari wa kumi na nne, ‘wanyang’anyi wa watu wako’, na Papa wa sasa alipoingizwa rasmi tarehe 8 Mei 2025, ‘maono’ ya mstari wa kumi na nne yakathibitishwa. Jaribio la msingi likahamia katika jaribio la hekalu. Tangu tarehe 9 Mei 2025 jaribio la hekalu limekuwa likiendelea. Kufufuka kwa mashahidi wawili tarehe 31 Desemba 2023 kulionyeshwa katika mstari wa kumi na moja wa Ufunuo kumi na moja, na ufufuo ulioanza tarehe hiyo ulitokea ndani ya kipindi cha Vita vya Ukraine vilivyoanza mwaka 2014 na vikakithiri mwaka 2022. Mistari ya nje na ya ndani ya unabii iliungana katika historia hiyo. Tarehe 31 Desemba 2023, kazi ya kuweka msingi ilikuwa ikiendelea, kazi iliyowakilishwa kwa mfano na historia ya 1798 hadi 1840, na pia ya 1840 hadi 1844, na pia ya 19 Aprili 1844 hadi 22 Oktoba 1844.

Daniel eleven verse eleven, arrived in history as the external line of prophecy and connected with the very history that is the internal line of Revelation eleven. In 2014, the Ukrainian War began, as typified by the battle of Raphia in 217 BC. In 2015, the fourth and far richer king of verse two of Daniel eleven, stood up and announced his intent to run for the office of president. That announcement enraged the dragon minded globalists, represented as the realm of Grecia.

Danieli 11:11 iliingia katika historia kama mstari wa nje wa unabii, na ikaunganishwa na ileile historia ambayo ndiyo mstari wa ndani wa Ufunuo 11. Mwaka 2014, Vita vya Ukraine vilianza, kama ilivyowakilishwa kwa mfano na vita vya Rafia mnamo 217 K.K. Mwaka 2015, yule mfalme wa nne, tajiri sana, wa aya ya pili ya Danieli 11, alisimama na kutangaza nia yake ya kuwania wadhifa wa urais. Tangazo hilo liliwakasirisha mno wafuasi wa utandawazi wenye mawazo ya joka, waliowakilishwa kama himaya ya Ugiriki.

Revelation eleven, verse eleven identified December 31, 2023 as the point where the two witnesses were resurrected. The period from July 18, 2020 unto December 31, 2023 was then understood to be a prophetic ‘wilderness.’ At the ending of the ‘wilderness period’ a voice began to cry in July of 2023, and then exactly twelve hundred and sixty days after the failed prediction of Nashville, on July 18, 2020, the Lion of the tribe of Judah then began to unseal His prophetic Word. The unsealing of God’s prophetic Word always produces a three-step testing process as set forth in Daniel twelve.

Ufunuo sura ya kumi na moja, aya ya kumi na moja, ulibainisha tarehe 31 Desemba 2023 kuwa wakati ambapo mashahidi wawili walifufuliwa. Hivyo, kipindi cha kuanzia tarehe 18 Julai 2020 hadi tarehe 31 Desemba 2023 kikaeleweka kuwa “jangwa” la kinabii. Mwishoni mwa “kipindi cha jangwa,” mnamo Julai 2023, sauti ilianza kulia, na kisha, siku elfu moja mia mbili na sitini kamili baada ya utabiri wa Nashville ulioshindikana uliotolewa tarehe 18 Julai 2020, Simba wa kabila la Yuda akaanza kufungua mihuri ya Neno Lake la kinabii. Kufunguliwa kwa Neno la Mungu la kinabii daima husababisha mchakato wa majaribu wa hatua tatu, kama ilivyoainishwa katika Danieli sura ya kumi na mbili.

> 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 12:10.

> Wengi watatakaswa, watafanywa weupe, na kujaribiwa; lakini waovu watatenda uovu; wala hakuna miongoni mwa waovu atakayeelewa; bali wenye hekima wataelewa. Danieli 12:10.

In Revelation nineteen, the bride makes herself ready and she is then given a white garment. Those white garments represent that the bride is ready, and it takes place in Revelation nineteen when the windows of heaven are opened. Before the bride is made white with the garment of Christ’s righteousness, she is first purified.

Katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi na tisa, bibi-arusi anajiandaa, kisha anapewa vazi jeupe. Mavazi hayo meupe yanaashiria kwamba bibi-arusi yuko tayari, na jambo hilo hutokea katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi na tisa, wakati madirisha ya mbinguni yanafunguliwa. Kabla bibi-arusi hajafanywa mweupe kwa vazi la haki ya Kristo, kwanza anatakaswa.

On December 31, 2023 the test of the foundations began to purify those who would be pure. That purification is accomplished by an increase of knowledge, for the Lion of the tribe of Judah, then began to unseal the final revelation of Himself. That revelation includes that He is the only foundation that can be laid. To reject the foundational truth that identifies that Rome is “the robbers of thy people,” is to reject the only foundation that can be laid.

Tarehe 31 Desemba 2023, mtihani wa misingi ulianza kuwatakasa watakaokuwa safi. Kutakaswa huko kunatimizwa kwa kuongezeka kwa maarifa, kwa maana Simba wa kabila la Yuda ndipo akaanza kuondoa mihuri ya ufunuo wa mwisho kuhusu Yeye Mwenyewe. Ufunuo huo unajumuisha kwamba Yeye ndiye msingi wa pekee unaoweza kuwekwa. Kuukataa ukweli wa msingi unaobainisha kwamba Roma ndiyo "waporaji wa watu wako" ni kuukataa msingi wa pekee unaoweza kuwekwa.

December 31, 2023 began a testing process that immediately produced a separation of two classes. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has now unsealed that the historical fulfillment of verse fourteen was May 8, 2025, and in doing so; He upheld Miller’s identification of Rome as the symbol that establishes the external vision of prophecy. When Trump returned in 2024, he fulfilled verse thirteen of Daniel eleven, then in the next verse, we mark 2025, with the election of pope Leo. Both Trump and his antichrist counterpart were inaugurated in 2025.

Mchakato wa kujaribiwa ulianza tarehe 31 Desemba 2023, na papo hapo ukaleta utenganisho wa makundi mawili. Simba wa kabila la Yuda sasa ameufungua muhuri, akidhihirisha kwamba utimilifu wa kihistoria wa aya ya kumi na nne ulikuwa tarehe 8 Mei 2025, na kwa kufanya hivyo aliuthibitisha utambuzi wa Miller wa Roma kuwa ishara inayoasisi maono ya nje ya unabii. Trump aliporejea mwaka 2024, alitimiza aya ya kumi na tatu ya Danieli kumi na moja; kisha, katika aya inayofuata, tunaweka alama mwaka 2025 kwa kuchaguliwa kwa Papa Leo. Wote wawili, Trump na mwenziwe Mpinga-Kristo, waliapishwa mwaka 2025.

The dates we identify in this movement are essentially sanctified hindsight. We identify the time of the end as 1989, then the formalization of the message was 1996. At 9/11 the formalized message was empowered. In the presentation of Habakkuk’s Tables in 2012 and ending in January of 2013 the foundations were laid.

Tarehe tunazotambua katika harakati hii kimsingi ni mtazamo wa nyuma uliotakaswa. Tunautambua wakati wa mwisho kuwa ni mwaka 1989, kisha urasmishaji wa ujumbe ulikuwa mwaka 1996. Wakati wa 9/11 ujumbe uliorasimishwa ulitiwa nguvu. Katika uwasilishaji wa Vibao vya Habakuki mwaka 2012, uliomalizika Januari 2013, misingi iliwekwa.

On July 18, 2020 the first disappointment arrived, then in July of 2023 a voice began to cry in the wilderness, and on December 31, 2023 the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ began and the first external foundational test began.

Mnamo tarehe 18 Julai 2020, kulitokea kukatishwa tamaa kwa mara ya kwanza; kisha mnamo Julai 2023, sauti ikaanza kupaza sauti nyikani; na mnamo tarehe 31 Desemba 2023, kuondolewa mihuri ya Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo kulianza, na mtihani wa kwanza wa msingi wa nje ukaanza.

On May 8, 2025 the second internal temple test began. The third litmus test is just ahead. There it will be made manifest whether the soul has the oil of the message represented by the first and external test and the accompanying oil of the second internal test. The testing represents external, followed by internal, followed by experience.

Tarehe 8 Mei 2025, jaribio la pili la ndani la hekalu lilianza. Jaribio la tatu la lakmusi liko mbele tu. Hapo patadhihirishwa iwapo nafsi ina mafuta ya ujumbe yanayowakilishwa na jaribio la kwanza, la nje, na mafuta yanayoandamana na jaribio la pili, la ndani. Majaribio haya yanawakilisha la nje, kisha la ndani, kisha uzoefu.

The internal line of prophecy consists of the previous waymarks I just cited. Each of those waymarks align with identical waymarks of Millerite history. 1798 as the time of the end corresponds to 1989, also the time of the end. There the Lion of the tribe of Judah unsealed his Word, for He is the Word. When Adventism fulfilled the role of the disobedient prophet at Jeroboam’s foundational rebellion by returning to eat with the lying prophet of Bethel, they returned to the arguments of fallen Protestantism that were employed against William Miller’s identification of the seven times. For this reason, they don’t fully, if at all, understand why 1863 is the last waymark for the alpha movement of the first and second angels.

Mstari wa ndani wa unabii unajumuisha alama za njia za awali nilizozitaja. Kila moja ya alama hizo za njia inalingana na alama za njia sawia katika historia ya Wamileraiti. Mwaka 1798 kama wakati wa mwisho unalingana na mwaka 1989, nao pia ni wakati wa mwisho. Hapo Simba wa kabila la Yuda alilifungua Neno Lake, kwa kuwa Yeye ndiye Neno. Wakati Uadventista ulipotimiza jukumu la nabii asiye mtii katika uasi wa msingi wa Yeroboamu kwa kurudi kula pamoja na nabii mwongo wa Betheli, ulirudia hoja za Uprotestanti ulioanguka zilizotumiwa dhidi ya utambuzi wa William Miller wa nyakati saba. Kwa sababu hii, hawaelewi kikamilifu, ikiwa wanaelewa hata kidogo, kwa nini 1863 ni alama ya mwisho ya njia kwa harakati ya alfa ya malaika wa kwanza na wa pili.

For this reason, it means nothing to them that it is 126 years, a symbol of 1,260, a symbol of a “wilderness” that spans the history from 1863 unto the time of the end in 1989. At the end of forty years Joshua led the movement into the Promised Land. In 1989 the Lord began the work of leading His omega movement out of the “wilderness” of 1863 unto 1989, the way He had brought the alpha movement out of the “wilderness” of 538 unto 1798.

Kwa sababu hii, kwao haina maana yoyote kwamba ni miaka 126, ishara ya 1,260, ishara ya “jangwa” linaloenea katika historia kutoka 1863 hadi wakati wa mwisho mnamo 1989. Mwisho wa miaka arobaini Yoshua aliongoza harakati hiyo kuingia katika Nchi ya Ahadi. Mnamo 1989 Bwana alianza kazi ya kuiongoza harakati yake ya omega kutoka katika “jangwa” lililodumu kutoka 1863 hadi 1989, kama vile alivyokuwa ameitoa harakati ya alfa kutoka katika “jangwa” lililodumu kutoka 538 hadi 1798.

In 1989, the vision of the Hiddekel River representing the last three chapters of Daniel was unsealed, just as the vision of the Ulai River representing chapters 7, 8 and 9 of Daniel was unsealed in 1798. Two hundred and twenty years after the publication of the King James Bible, William Miller published his message based upon the vision of the Ulai for the first time, thus formalizing his message in 1831; as was the message of the Hiddekel published for the first time in 1996, two hundred and twenty years after 1776, the birthplace of the glorious land of the United States.

Mnamo 1989, maono ya Mto Hiddekel yanayowakilisha sura tatu za mwisho za Danieli yaliondolewa muhuri, kama vile maono ya Mto Ulai yanayowakilisha sura za 7, 8 na 9 za Danieli yalivyoondolewa muhuri mnamo 1798. Miaka mia mbili na ishirini baada ya kuchapishwa kwa Biblia ya Mfalme Yakobo, William Miller alichapisha kwa mara ya kwanza ujumbe wake uliotegemea maono ya Ulai, hivyo akiufanya ujumbe huo kuwa rasmi mnamo 1831; vivyo hivyo, ujumbe wa Hiddekel ulichapishwa kwa mara ya kwanza mnamo 1996, miaka mia mbili na ishirini baada ya 1776, chimbuko la nchi tukufu ya Marekani.

Miller’s formalization of the message two hundred and twenty years after the King James version identifies William Miller as the very first sacred messenger to employ the prophecies of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, to bring about a revival and reformation. The Bible is Divine and it connected with the human 220 years later to produced the message of the Ulai.

Urasimishaji wa ujumbe uliofanywa na Miller, miaka mia mbili na ishirini baada ya Toleo la Mfalme Yakobo, unamtambua William Miller kuwa mjumbe mtakatifu wa kwanza kabisa aliye tumia unabii wa Biblia, wa Agano la Kale na Agano Jipya, ili kuleta uamsho na matengenezo. Biblia ni ya Kimungu, nayo iliunganika na kibinadamu baada ya miaka mia mbili na ishirini ili kuleta ujumbe wa Ulai.

Jesus is Alpha and Omega, and He is the Word of God, so the publication of the King James Version of the Bible in 1611, places Jesus both at 1611, and also at 1831. Christ appears at the time of the end as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the when the message is formalized He is the Alpha and the Omega and Word. The relation of Miller to the beginning is recognized that both beginning and ending are emphasizing publishing the message. 1776 unto 1996 bears the same characteristics, though different.

Yesu ni Alfa na Omega, naye ni Neno la Mungu; kwa hivyo kuchapishwa kwa Toleo la Biblia la Mfalme Yakobo mwaka 1611 kunaweka Yesu katika mwaka 1611 na pia katika mwaka 1831. Kristo huonekana wakati wa mwisho kama Simba wa kabila la Yuda; na wakati ujumbe unaporasimishwa, Yeye ni Alfa na Omega, na Neno. Uhusiano wa Miller na mwanzo unatambuliwa kwamba mwanzo na mwisho vyote viwili vinasisitiza uchapishaji wa ujumbe. Kipindi cha 1776 hadi 1996 kinabeba sifa zilezile, ingawa kwa namna tofauti.

The message of the Hiddekel is the message of the Sunday law in the United States as set forth in verse forty-one of Daniel eleven. 1776 and the publication of the Declaration of Independence represents the starting point for the two-hundred and twenty year period that ended with the publication providentially, not purposely titled, Time of the End. In the same year, 1996 a ministry corporation with the name of Future for America was given to us. The message of the glorious land, that is the United States, was formalized with a direct connection between the beginning and ending of the prophecy. Every major waymark of Millerite history has been repeated under the guiding pattern of the parable of the ten virgins. Both two-hundred and twenty year periods possess a beginning and ending that are marked by a publication.

Ujumbe wa Hidekeli ni ujumbe wa sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani, kama inavyoainishwa katika Danieli sura ya kumi na moja, mstari wa arobaini na moja. Mwaka 1776 na kuchapishwa kwa Tamko la Uhuru vinawakilisha hatua ya kuanzia ya kipindi cha miaka mia mbili na ishirini kilichoishia kwa chapisho ambalo, kwa majaliwa ya Mungu wala si kwa makusudi, lilibeba kichwa Time of the End. Katika mwaka huohuo, 1996, tulikabidhiwa shirika la huduma lenye jina la Future for America. Ujumbe wa nchi ya uzuri, yaani Marekani, ulirasimishwa kwa uhusiano wa moja kwa moja kati ya mwanzo na mwisho wa unabii huo. Kila alama kuu ya njia katika historia ya Wamileriti imerudiwa kwa kufuata mfumo wa mwongozo uliowekwa na mfano wa wanawali kumi. Vipindi vyote viwili vya miaka mia mbili na ishirini vina mwanzo na mwisho vilivyopewa alama na chapisho.

Miller’s message and methodology was confirmed and empowered with a fulfillment of Islam of the second woe. What was employed by the Lord to empower the message was Miller’s day for a year principle, and the principle that empowered the message and methodology at 9/11, when the descent of the angel of Revelation eighteen repeated the descent, He had made on August 11, 1840 as represented in chapter ten of Revelation. Those two angels represent a prophetic appearance of Christ as an angel. The principle that is as foundational to the movement of 9/11 as was the day for a year principle to the movement of August 11, 1840 is that Millerite history is repeated in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Ujumbe na mbinu za Miller zilithibitishwa na kutiwa nguvu kwa utimilifu wa ole wa pili wa Uislamu. Kilichotumiwa na Bwana kuutia nguvu ule ujumbe kilikuwa ni kanuni ya Miller ya siku kuwa mwaka, na kanuni iliyotia nguvu ule ujumbe na ile mbinu wakati wa 9/11, ambapo kushuka kwa malaika wa Ufunuo kumi na nane kulirudia kushuka alilolifanya tarehe 11 Agosti, 1840, kama kunavyowakilishwa katika sura ya kumi ya Ufunuo. Hao malaika wawili wanawakilisha mwonekano wa kinabii wa Kristo akiwa malaika. Kanuni iliyo ya msingi kwa harakati ya 9/11 kama vile kanuni ya siku kuwa mwaka ilivyokuwa kwa harakati ya 11 Agosti, 1840 ni kwamba historia ya Wamilleraiti inarudiwa katika historia ya wale elfu mia arobaini na nne.

When a fulfillment of a prophecy of Islam of the third woe, arrived in the history of the omega and third angel that aligned with the fulfillment of a prophecy of Islam of the first and second woe, that arrived in the history of the alpha first and second angels—the principle that Millerite history is repeated in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand was as soundly confirmed as was Miller’s day for a year principle in connection with the first and second woes of Revelation nine. Some who might know of the time prophecy of three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days that is set forth in Revelation 9:15, may miss my previous point. Let me explain.

Wakati utimilifu wa unabii wa Uislamu kuhusu ole la tatu ulipotimia katika historia ya omega na ya malaika wa tatu, na ukalingana na utimilifu wa unabii wa Uislamu kuhusu ole la kwanza na la pili uliotimia katika historia ya alfa—ya malaika wa kwanza na wa pili—kanuni kwamba historia ya Wamileraiti inarudiwa katika historia ya wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu ilithibitishwa kwa uthabiti sawa na jinsi kanuni ya Miller ya siku kwa mwaka ilivyothibitishwa kuhusiana na ole la kwanza na la pili katika Ufunuo sura ya tisa. Wengine ambao huenda wanafahamu unabii wa wakati wa miaka mia tatu tisini na moja na siku kumi na tano uliobainishwa katika Ufunuo 9:15, wanaweza kukosa hoja yangu ya awali. Niruhusuni nifafanue.

The first and second woe are aligned with the history of the first and second angels, and the history of the third woe is aligned with the history of the third angel. The point here is that the starting point for the three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days set forth in the history of the second woe is found in the history of the first woe. There is a one hundred and fifty year prophecy in the history of the first woe of Revelation nine, and the day that prophetic period ends, the prophecy of three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days begins. The two prophecies directly connect the first and second woes, so when a prophecy of Islam was predicted, based upon the day for a year principle, that prophecy was a prophecy of the first and second woes of Islam, which was the message that confirmed Miller’s methodology and message in the history of the first and second angels.

Ole wa kwanza na wa pili yameambatana na historia ya malaika wa kwanza na wa pili, na historia ya ole wa tatu imeambatana na historia ya malaika wa tatu. Hoja hapa ni kwamba sehemu ya kuanzia ya kipindi cha miaka mia tatu tisini na moja na siku kumi na tano kilichoainishwa katika historia ya ole wa pili inapatikana katika historia ya ole wa kwanza. Kuna utabiri wa miaka mia moja hamsini katika historia ya ole wa kwanza wa Ufunuo sura ya tisa, na siku ile kipindi hicho cha kinabii kinapomalizika, utabiri wa miaka mia tatu tisini na moja na siku kumi na tano unaanza. Matabiri hayo mawili yanaunganisha moja kwa moja ole wa kwanza na wa pili, hivyo wakati utabiri kuhusu Uislamu ulipotabiriwa, kwa msingi wa kanuni ya siku kwa mwaka, utabiri huo ulikuwa utabiri wa ole wa kwanza na wa pili wa Uislamu; huo utabiri ndio uliothibitisha mbinu na ujumbe wa Miller katika historia ya malaika wa kwanza na wa pili.

When that history concluded on October 22, 1844 the seventh trumpet began to sound, and the seventh trumpet is both the third woe, and the mystery of godliness, which is Christ in you the hope of glory. That trumpet is an external warning message and an internal warning message. For this reason, the 2,520-year prophecy is associated with the seventh-year rest for the land, which includes the jubilee. On October 22, 1844 the seventh trumpet began to sound in fulfillment of the 2,520 year and 2,300 year prophecies.

Wakati historia hiyo ilipohitimika tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844, tarumbeta ya saba ilianza kupigwa, na tarumbeta hiyo ya saba ndiyo ole wa tatu, na pia ndiyo siri ya utauwa, ambayo ni Kristo ndani yenu, tumaini la utukufu. Tarumbeta hiyo ni ujumbe wa onyo wa nje na wa ndani. Kwa sababu hiyo, unabii wa miaka 2,520 unahusishwa na mapumziko ya mwaka wa saba kwa nchi, ambayo yanajumuisha Yubilei. Tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844 tarumbeta ya saba ilianza kupigwa katika kutimia kwa unabii wa miaka 2,520 na wa miaka 2,300.

> But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7.

> Lakini katika siku za sauti ya malaika wa saba, atakapoanza kupiga baragumu, siri ya Mungu itakamilika, kama alivyowatangazia watumishi wake manabii. Ufunuo 10:7.

October 22, 1844 was the day of Atonement, and the jubilee trumpet was to be sounded on the day of atonement. Since that time, we are living in the history of the third angel, and also of the third woe, which is the seventh trumpet. On August 11, 1840 the mighty angel of Revelation ten descended to lighten the earth with his glory as did the angel of Revelation eighteen at 9/11.

Tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844 ilikuwa Siku ya Upatanisho, na baragumu la Yubilei lilipaswa kupigwa katika Siku ya Upatanisho. Tangu wakati huo, tunaishi katika historia ya malaika wa tatu, na pia katika historia ya ole wa tatu, ambao ni tarumbeta ya saba. Tarehe 11 Agosti 1840, malaika mwenye nguvu wa Ufunuo kumi alishuka kuuangaza ulimwengu kwa utukufu wake, kama vile malaika wa Ufunuo kumi na nane alivyofanya wakati wa 9/11.

In 2012 into January of 2013, the series titled Habakkuk’s Tables was produced, and aligned with the publication of the 1843 pioneer chart in May of 1842. The foundations of the movement were then laid, whether it was the alpha movement of the first and second angel, or the movement of the third angel Habakkuk’s two tables were woven into the history and message. The failed prediction of July 18, 2020 paralleled April 19, 1844, and the tarrying time in the parable was under way.

Kuanzia 2012 hadi Januari 2013, mfululizo uitwao Meza za Habakuki uliandaliwa, na ukawekwa sambamba na kuchapishwa kwa chati ya waanzilishi ya 1843 mnamo Mei 1842. Ndipo misingi ya harakati hiyo ikawekwa, iwe ni harakati ya alfa ya malaika wa kwanza na wa pili, au harakati ya malaika wa tatu; meza mbili za Habakuki zilishikamanishwa ndani ya historia na ujumbe. Utabiri ulioshindikana wa Julai 18, 2020 ulienda sambamba na Aprili 19, 1844, na wakati wa kukawia katika mfano ulikuwa umeanza.

A wilderness of 1,260 days ended at the unsealing of December 31, 2023. It is good to remember that Christ twice cleansed His temple from its sacrilegious profanation, as Sister White labels it. He did so at the beginning and at the close of His ministry, making the two cleansings an alpha and an omega cleansing.

Kipindi cha jangwani cha siku 1,260 kilimalizika wakati wa kufunguliwa kwa muhuri mnamo tarehe 31 Desemba 2023. Ni vyema kukumbuka kwamba Kristo alilisafisha mara mbili Hekalu Lake kutokana na unajisi wake wa kufuru, kama Dada White anavyouita. Alifanya hivyo mwanzoni na mwishoni mwa Huduma Yake, akiyafanya hayo masafisho mawili kuwa usafishaji wa Alfa na Omega.

Sister White clearly aligns the first temple cleansing with 9/11 and the first voice, which she identifies as the first three verses of Revelation eighteen. She then identifies the “other voice” of verse four, as the second temple cleansing, and also the Sunday law. April 19, 1844 was the first temple cleansing for the Millerites and October 22, 1844 was the second. In the forty-six years from 1798 unto 1844 the Millerite temple was erected, and a fractal of the Millerite temple erection is found in the history of the two disappointments which both represent temple cleansings. That history is about the temple.

Dada White anaoanisha waziwazi usafishaji wa kwanza wa Hekalu na 9/11 na “sauti ya kwanza,” ambayo anaibainisha kuwa mistari mitatu ya kwanza ya Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane. Kisha anaitambua “sauti nyingine” ya mstari wa nne kuwa usafishaji wa pili wa Hekalu, na pia sheria ya Jumapili. Tarehe 19 Aprili 1844 ilikuwa usafishaji wa kwanza wa Hekalu kwa wafuasi wa Miller, na tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844 ilikuwa wa pili. Katika miaka arobaini na sita kuanzia 1798 hadi 1844, Hekalu la wafuasi wa Miller lilijengwa, na fraktali ya ujenzi wa Hekalu la Wamiller katika historia ya mavunjiko mawili ya matumaini inapatikana, ambayo yote yanawakilisha usafishaji wa Hekalu. Historia hiyo inahusu Hekalu.

From July 18, 2020 to December 31, 2023, the virgins slept during the tarrying time. When they awaken, they awaken to their responsibility to lay the foundation and raise the temple. Since that time Christ, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah has been unsealing prophetic light, and prophetic light that is unsealed always produces a three-step testing process which ends at the litmus test where character is manifested, but never developed. At the litmus test the faithful virgins will receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that surpasses every manifestation of the power of God among God’s people ever recorded. There will be an increase of light that has never been witnessed. That being said I will present another historical line which upholds the parallel of Millerite history to that of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Kuanzia Julai 18, 2020 hadi Desemba 31, 2023, wanawali walilala usingizi katika kipindi cha kusubiri. Watakapoamka, wataamka ili kutekeleza wajibu wao wa kuweka msingi na kulisimamisha hekalu. Tangu wakati huo, Kristo, kama Simba wa kabila la Yuda, amekuwa akifunua nuru ya kinabii iliyokuwa imetiwa muhuri, na nuru ya kinabii inapofunguliwa daima huleta mchakato wa majaribu wa hatua tatu unaokomea katika kipimo cha lakmusi ambapo tabia hudhihirishwa, bali haiendelezwi kamwe. Katika kipimo cha lakmusi wanawali waaminifu watapokea umwagiko wa Roho Mtakatifu unaozidi kila dhihirisho la nguvu za Mungu miongoni mwa watu wa Mungu lililowahi kurekodiwa. Kutakuwa na ongezeko la nuru ambalo halijawahi kushuhudiwa. Hivyo basi, nitawasilisha mstari mwingine wa kihistoria unaothibitisha ulinganifu wa historia ya Wamileraiti na ile ya wale mia moja na arobaini na nne elfu.

> But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 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 12:4, 9, 10.

> Lakini wewe, Ee Danieli, funga maneno, na utie muhuri kitabu, hata wakati wa mwisho; wengi watapita huku na huku, na maarifa yataongezeka. Naye akasema, Enenda zako, Danieli; kwa kuwa maneno hayo yamefungwa na kutiwa muhuri hata wakati wa mwisho. Wengi watatakaswa, watafanywa weupe, na kujaribiwa; bali waovu watafanya maovu; wala hakuna katika waovu atakayefahamu; bali wenye hekima watafahamu. Danieli 12:4, 9, 10.

We will continue these things in the next article.

Tutaendelea na mambo haya katika makala ijayo.

## Singularity

Upekee

Elon Musk claimed on February 21, 2026 that “we are now in ‘singularity’”.

Elon Musk alidai tarehe 21 Februari 2026 kwamba "sasa tuko katika 'singularity'".

## Technological Singularity

Upeo wa Kiteknolojia

The technological singularity (often just called ‘the singularity’) is a hypothetical future point in time when technological progress—driven primarily by artificial intelligence—becomes so rapid and powerful that it accelerates beyond human control and comprehension, leading to unpredictable and profound transformations in human civilization. The core idea is an intelligence explosion: once we create an AI system that is smarter than the smartest humans (often called Artificial Superintelligence or ASI), that system can redesign and improve itself faster than any human team ever could. This creates a recursive self-improvement loop where capability doubles again and again in extremely short timeframes (days → hours → minutes), making further developments explosive and impossible for “pre-singularity humans” to meaningfully predict or steer. The term “singularity” is borrowed from physics and mathematics, where in “a black hole,” the singularity is the point where gravity becomes infinite and our current laws of physics break down—we can’t see or predict what happens beyond the event horizon.

Upekee wa kiteknolojia (mara nyingi huitwa tu ‘upekee’) ni hatua ya wakati wa baadaye inayodhaniwa, ambapo maendeleo ya kiteknolojia—yanayoendeshwa kimsingi na akili bandia—yanakuwa ya kasi na yenye nguvu kiasi kwamba yanaharakishwa kupita uwezo wa udhibiti na uelewa wa binadamu, na hivyo kusababisha mabadiliko yasiyotabirika na ya kina katika ustaarabu wa kibinadamu. Wazo kuu ni mlipuko wa akili: mara tu tunapounda mfumo wa AI ulio mwerevu kuliko wanadamu werevu zaidi (mara nyingi huitwa Akili Bandia ya Juu Sana au ASI), mfumo huo unaweza kujibuni upya na kujiboresha kwa kasi zaidi kuliko kikundi chochote cha wanadamu kingewahi kufanya. Hii huunda mzunguko rejelezi wa kujiboresha ambamo uwezo huzidi mara dufu tena na tena ndani ya vipindi vifupi sana (siku → saa → dakika), na kufanya maendeleo zaidi yawe ya mlipuko na yasiyowezekana kwa ‘wanadamu kabla ya upekee’ kuyatabiri au kuyaongoza kwa namna yenye maana. Neno ‘upekee’ limeazimwa kutoka katika fizikia na hisabati, ambako katika ‘shimo jeusi’, upekee ni nukta ambayo mvuto unakuwa usio na ukomo na sheria zetu za sasa za fizikia hushindwa kutumika—hatuwezi kuona wala kutabiri yanayotokea nje ya upeo wa matukio.

Similarly, the technological singularity is viewed as an “event horizon” in history: we can forecast trends up to that point, but beyond it, the future becomes opaque to un-augmented human minds.

Kadhalika, upekee wa kiteknolojia huonwa kama ‘upeo wa tukio’ katika historia: tunaweza kutabiri mienendo hadi wakati huo, lakini zaidi ya hapo, mustakabali huwa fiche kwa akili za kibinadamu zisizoongezewa uwezo.

## Brief History and Main Thinkers

Historia kwa Ufupi na Wanafikra Wakuu

1950’s—Early seeds appear in the work of mathematician John von Neumann (who spoke of accelerating technological change) and mathematician/cryptologist I.J. Good (who in 1965 described an “intelligence explosion” once machines design better machines).

Miaka ya 1950—Mbegu za awali huonekana katika kazi ya mwanahisabati John von Neumann (aliyekuwa akizungumzia kasi inayoharakishwa ya mabadiliko ya kiteknolojia) na mwanahisabati/mtaalamu wa kriptolojia I. J. Good (ambaye mwaka 1965 alielezea "mlipuko wa akili" utakaotokea mara tu mashine zitakapobuni mashine bora zaidi).

1993—Computer scientist and sci-fi author Vernor Vinge popularizes the modern concept in his essay, The Coming Technological Singularity. He predicted we would create superhuman intelligence sometime between 2005–2030, after which “the human era” would end (in the sense that unaided humans would no longer be the dominant intelligence).

1993—Mtaalamu wa sayansi ya kompyuta na mwandishi wa hadithi za kisayansi Vernor Vinge aliieneza dhana ya kisasa kupitia insha yake iitwayo The Coming Technological Singularity. Alitabiri kwamba tungeunda akili inayomshinda mwanadamu wakati fulani kati ya 2005–2030, baada ya hapo "enzi ya mwanadamu" ingeisha (kwa maana kwamba wanadamu pasipo msaada hawangekuwa tena akili tawala).

2005—Inventor/futurist Ray Kurzweil brings the idea to mainstream attention with his book, The Singularity Is Near. He argues the singularity arrives around 2045, driven by exponential growth in computing power (following his Law of Accelerating Returns), nanotechnology, biotechnology, and brain-computer interfaces. He has consistently maintained this timeline, recently reaffirming AGI 2029 and singularity ~2045.

2005—Mvumbuzi na mtabiri wa mustakabali Ray Kurzweil analifanya wazo hilo lijulikane kwa hadhira kuu kupitia kitabu chake, “The Singularity Is Near.” Anahoji kwamba singularity itawasili takriban mwaka 2045, ikichochewa na ukuaji wa kielelezo wa uwezo wa uchakataji wa kompyuta (kufuata Sheria yake ya Matokeo Yanayoharakishwa), pamoja na nanoteknolojia, bioteknolojia, na violesura vya ubongo-na-kompyuta. Ameishikilia ratiba hii kwa uthabiti, na hivi karibuni ameithibitisha upya AGI 2029 na singularity takriban 2045.

## Timeline Predictions (as of early 2026)

Utabiri wa Mlolongo wa Matukio (kufikia mapema mwaka 2026)

Predictions have noticeably compressed in the last few years due to the extremely fast progress in large language models, reasoning systems, and scaling laws: Most aggressive / near-term views (2026–2027): Some prominent AI leaders (e.g., Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Elon Musk) have publicly stated that superintelligence or something functionally equivalent to the singularity trigger could arrive as early as 2026 or within 1–3 years.

Utabiri umefupika kwa dhahiri katika miaka michache iliyopita kutokana na maendeleo ya kasi sana katika mifano mikubwa ya lugha, mifumo ya hoja, na sheria za uskalishaji: Mitazamo yenye uthubutu mkubwa/ya muda wa karibu (2026–2027): Baadhi ya viongozi mashuhuri wa AI (k.m., Dario Amodei wa Anthropic, Elon Musk) wametangaza hadharani kwamba akili kuu au kitu ambacho kwa utendaji ni sawa na kichocheo cha singularity kinaweza kujitokeza mapema kama mwaka 2026 au ndani ya miaka 1–3.

Median expert surveys still cluster around 2040–2050 for full superintelligence/singularity.

Viwango vya kati vya tafiti za wataalamu bado vinakongamana karibu na miaka ya 2040–2050 kuhusu kufikiwa kwa kiwango kamili cha akili ya juu kupita/upekee.

## Two camps of possible outcomes

Makundi mawili ya matokeo yanayowezekana

Utopian / optimistic → radical abundance, elimination of disease and poverty, effective immortality via mind uploading or nanomedicine, humanity merging with AI (transhumanism), solving previously unsolvable scientific problems in minutes.

Mtazamo wa kiutopia/wa matumaini → utele uliokithiri, kutokomezwa kwa magonjwa na umaskini, umilele wa kivitendo kupitia kupakia fahamu au nanotiba, wanadamu kuungana na Akili Bandia (transhumanismu), kutatua matatizo ya kisayansi yaliyokuwa hayawezekani kutatuliwa hapo awali ndani ya dakika.

Dystopian / pessimistic → loss of human agency/control, misalignment (AI pursues goals orthogonal or hostile to human values), economic & social collapse, or even existential risks to humanity.

Dystopiki / pesimistiki → upotevu wa uwakala/udhibiti wa kibinadamu, kutokuwiana (AI hufuata malengo yasiyo sambamba au yenye uadui kwa maadili ya kibinadamu), kusambaratika kwa uchumi na jamii, au hata hatari za uwepo kwa ubinadamu.

Singularity isn’t just “very advanced AI,” it’s the moment when technological evolution escapes biological/human-speed constraints and becomes an autonomous, runaway process. Whether that happens in 2026, 2030, 2045, or never, it remains one of the most consequential open questions in human history right now.

Upekee si tu “akili bandia iliyoendelea sana”; bali ni wakati ambapo mageuzi ya kiteknolojia yanapovuka vikwazo vya kasi ya kibiolojia ya binadamu na kuwa mchakato wa kujitegemea usiodhibitika. Iwapo hilo litatokea mwaka 2026, 2030, 2045, au kamwe halitatokea, bado linabaki kuwa miongoni mwa maswali yaliyo wazi yenye athari kubwa zaidi katika historia ya binadamu kwa wakati huu.

## The Time of the End – 1989

Wakati wa Mwisho - 1989

The Networked World Begins

Ulimwengu Uliounganishwa Unaanza

The transition from isolated computing to connected computing. Tim Berners-Lee proposes the World Wide Web at CERN (1989). Commercial neural network research expands (military + academic use), Intel 80486 ships—personal computing power jumps, ARPANET transitions toward what becomes the modern Internet. Before this, computing was powerful but mostly siloed. After 1989, computing becomes network-oriented. Neural networks in 1989 were early, hardware-limited, and mostly rule-augmented pattern systems—but the military and research labs were already testing learning systems for targeting, guidance, and signal classification. This was the foundational layer for everything that came later.

Mabadiliko kutoka uchakataji wa kompyuta uliojitenga hadi uchakataji wa kompyuta uliounganishwa. Tim Berners-Lee alipendekeza World Wide Web katika CERN (1989). Utafiti wa kibiashara wa mitandao ya neva unapanuka (matumizi ya kijeshi + ya kitaaluma), Intel 80486 inaanza kusafirishwa—nguvu ya uchakataji ya kompyuta binafsi inapanda kwa kasi, ARPANET inapitia mabadiliko kuelekea kile kinachokuja kuwa Intaneti ya kisasa. Kabla ya hayo, uchakataji wa kompyuta ulikuwa wenye nguvu lakini kwa kiasi kikubwa ulikuwa umefungika katika vitengo vilivyotenganishwa. Baada ya 1989, uchakataji wa kompyuta unakuwa wenye mwelekeo wa mtandao. Mitandao ya neva mwaka 1989 ilikuwa katika hatua za awali, ilizuiliwa na uwezo wa vifaa, na kwa kiasi kikubwa ilikuwa mifumo ya miundo iliyoongezewa kanuni—lakini jeshi na maabara za utafiti tayari zilikuwa zikijaribu mifumo ya ujifunzaji kwa ajili ya kulenga shabaha, uongozaji, na uainishaji wa ishara. Huu ulikuwa tabaka la msingi kwa kila kilichofuata baadaye.

## The Message Formalized – 1996

Ujumbe Uliorasimishwa - 1996

The Internet Commercial Explosion

Mlipuko wa Kibiashara wa Intaneti

The Web becomes public, commercial, and global. Netscape and browser in wars, Amazon and eBay proving online commerce works. Google founded (as BackRub at Stanford, 1996), Windows 95 adoption accelerates consumer computing. 1996 is when the Internet stops being academic and becomes economic. The infrastructure from 1989 now hits consumer scale. The dot-com era is not about websites—it’s about digitizing business. This period changed commerce, advertising, information discovery and communication patterns.

Wavuti unakuwa wa umma, wa kibiashara, na wa kimataifa. Netscape na vita vya vivinjari; Amazon na eBay zikithibitisha kwamba biashara mtandaoni inafanya kazi. Google inaanzishwa (kama BackRub katika Chuo Kikuu cha Stanford, 1996), na kupokelewa kwa Windows 95 kunaharakisha matumizi ya kompyuta kwa watumiaji binafsi. Mwaka 1996 ndipo Intaneti ilipoacha kuwa ya kitaaluma na ikawa ya kiuchumi. Miundombinu iliyoanzia 1989 sasa inafikia kiwango cha soko la watumiaji. Enzi ya dot-com haikuhusu tovuti - ilikuwa kuhusu udijitalishaji wa biashara. Kipindi hiki kilibadili biashara, matangazo, ugunduzi wa taarifa, na mitindo ya mawasiliano.

## Message Empowered – 9/11, 2001

Ujumbe Uliotiwa Nguvu - 9/11, 2001

The Mobile + Platform Era Begins

Enzi ya Rununu + Jukwaa inaanza

Digitization of media + early cloud infrastructure + always-on broadband. Apple releases the iPod (portable digital ecosystem begins), Wikipedia launches (collective knowledge platform model), Broadband adoption surges, Amazon begins quietly building what becomes AWS. Post-9/11 surveillance technology massively accelerates, data analytics infrastructure grows rapidly. The beginning of cloud computing, platform ecosystems, digital content dominance, always-connected infrastructure and the groundwork for social media and smartphones is laid here.

Ubadilishaji wa vyombo vya habari kuwa dijitali + miundomsingi ya awali ya wingu + muunganisho wa bendi pana wa kudumu. Apple yazindua iPod (ikolojia ya kidijitali inayobebeka inaanza), Wikipedia yazinduliwa (mfano wa jukwaa la maarifa ya pamoja), uchukuaji wa bendi pana unapaa, Amazon inaanza kimyakimya kujenga kile kitakachokuwa AWS. Baada ya 11 Septemba, teknolojia ya ufuatiliaji inapata kasi kwa kiwango kikubwa, miundomsingi ya uchanganuzi wa data inakua kwa haraka. Hapa ndipo panapowekwa mwanzo wa uchakataji wa wingu, ikolojia za majukwaa, utawala wa maudhui ya kidijitali, miundomsingi ya uunganisho wa kudumu, na misingi ya mitandao ya kijamii na simu mahiri.

## Foundation Laid – Habakkuk’s Tables – 2012, 2013

Msingi Uliowekwa - Vibao vya Habakuki - 2012, 2013

The Deep Learning Breakthrough

Uvumbuzi Mkubwa wa Ujifunzaji wa Kina

The Birth of Modern Artificial Intelligence

Kuzaliwa kwa akili bandia ya kisasa

This is the pivotal moment when neural networks stopped being experimental and became practically powerful— the exact bridge between the 2001 “platform/cloud” era and the 2023 “generative AI” explosion. September 2012: AlexNet (a deep convolutional neural network) wins the ImageNet competition by a massive margin—crushing all previous algorithms. This single event is universally recognized in AI research as the moment modern deep learning was born. 2012: Geoffrey Hinton’s team proves that deep neural nets, trained on GPUs, can learn hierarchical features automatically. 2013: Google acquires Hinton’s company (DNNresearch). Industry suddenly pours billions into deep learning. NVIDIA’s GPU advancements (CUDA) become the standard hardware for AI. Big data tools (Spark 1.0 released in 2013) mature alongside this, enabling the massive datasets needed for deep learning.

Huu ndio wakati wa mgeuko mkuu ambapo mitandao ya neva iliacha kuwa ya majaribio na ikawa yenye nguvu kivitendo—daraja halisi kati ya enzi ya 2001 ya “jukwaa/wingu” na mlipuko wa 2023 wa “AI jeneretivu”. Septemba 2012: AlexNet (mtandao wa neva wa mkunjo wa kina) inashinda mashindano ya ImageNet kwa pengo kubwa—ikiipiku kwa mbali algoriti zote za awali. Tukio hili moja linatambuliwa kwa ujumla katika utafiti wa AI kuwa ndilo wakati ambao ujifunzaji wa kina wa kisasa ulizaliwa. 2012: Timu ya Geoffrey Hinton inathibitisha kwamba mitandao ya neva ya kina, inayofundishwa kwenye GPU, inaweza kujifunza vipengele vya kihierarkia kiotomatiki. 2013: Google yanunua kampuni ya Hinton (DNNresearch). Sekta inaelekeza ghafla mabilioni katika ujifunzaji wa kina. Maendeleo ya GPU ya NVIDIA (CUDA) yanakuwa kiwango sanifu cha vifaa kwa AI. Zana za data kubwa (Spark 1.0 ilitolewa mwaka 2013) zinakomaa sambamba na haya, na kuwezesha seti kubwa mno za data zinazohitajika kwa ujifunzaji wa kina.

## Unsealing – 2023

Ufunguaji wa Mihuri - 2023

Generative AI Crosses the Threshold

Akili Bandia Inayozalisha Inavuka Kizingiti

AI becomes accessible, usable, and economically disruptive. Not just “better neural nets.” This is the moment AI writes code, generates images, automates white-collar work, scales reasoning tasks and for the first time AI stops being specialized and becomes general-purpose cognitive tooling.

Akili bandia inakuwa ya kufikika, yenye kutumika, na yenye kuleta mabadiliko makubwa ya kiuchumi. Si tu “mitandao ya neva iliyo bora zaidi.” Huu ndio wakati ambapo akili bandia huandika msimbo, hutokeza picha, huendesha kazi za ofisini kwa njia ya kiotomatiki, huongeza kwa kiwango kikubwa kazi za kufikiri, na kwa mara ya kwanza akili bandia huacha kuwa ya kazi maalumu na kuwa zana ya kiakili ya matumizi ya jumla.

## 2026 – Singularity?

2026 - Upekee?

- 1989 as the unsealing of the time of the end itself (networked connectivity begins, foundation for global knowledge flow; tied to the USSR collapse as the waymark for Adventism’s final probationary period).

  1989 kama kuondolewa kwa muhuri wa wakati wa mwisho wenyewe (kuanza kwa uunganishaji wa kimtandao, msingi wa mtiririko wa maarifa ulimwenguni kote; kufungamanishwa kwake na kuanguka kwa USSR kama alama ya njia ya kipindi cha mwisho cha rehema kwa Waadventista).

- 1996 as the formalization of the message (commercial web scales the information economy, digitizing commerce and discovery).

  1996 kama urasimishaji wa ujumbe (wavuti ya kibiashara hupanua kwa kiasi kikubwa uchumi wa taarifa, ikiifanya biashara na ugunduzi kuwa wa kidijitali).

- 2001 as the empowerment of the message (platforms, cloud, always-on access lay the digital ecosystem for collective, mobile knowledge).

  2001 kama uwezeshaji wa ujumbe (majukwaa, wingu, na upatikanaji wa kila wakati huweka msingi wa mfumo ikolojia wa kidijitali kwa maarifa ya pamoja na ya rununu).

- 2012/2013 as the laying of the foundation for true intelligence (deep learning breakthrough makes machine understanding practical and scalable).

  2012/2013 kama uwekaji wa msingi wa akili ya kweli (uvumbuzi mkuu katika ujifunzaji wa kina hufanya uelewa wa mashine kuwa wa kivitendo na unaoweza kupanuliwa).

- 2023 as the unsealing climax (generative AI crosses into general-purpose cognition, making knowledge creation and reasoning accessible and disruptive).

  2023 kama kilele cha kufunguliwa kwa mihuri (akili bandia jeneretivu inavuka kizingiti na kuingia katika utambuzi wa madhumuni ya jumla, ikirahisisha upatikanaji wa uundaji wa maarifa na wa hoja za kimantiki, na kuleta mvurugiko).

The progression is elegant: each stage builds cumulatively on the prior one, shifting from connectivity → commercialization → ecosystem → intelligence → cognition.

Mwendelezo huu ni maridadi: kila hatua hujengwa kwa kujilimbikiza juu ya iliyotangulia, na mwendelezo huo unahama kutoka uunganisho → ubiasharishaji → mfumo-ikolojia → akili → utambuzi.

2012/2013 is the critical hinge; the moment neural nets proved capable of hierarchical, automatic learning (AlexNet/ImageNet win, Hinton’s work validated, GPU scaling enabled), which made the 2023 generative explosion inevitable. Without the 2012 architectural shift, the transformer models (2017) and massive scaling wouldn’t have produced ChatGPT-level generality.

2012/2013 ndiyo nukta muhimu ya mgeuko; wakati ambapo mitandao ya neva ilithibitisha uwezo wa ujifunzaji wa kihierarkia na kiotomatiki (ushindi wa AlexNet/ImageNet, kazi ya Hinton ikathibitishwa, na upanuzi kwa kutumia GPU ukawezekana), jambo lililofanya mlipuko wa kizalishi wa mwaka 2023 kuwa usioweza kuepukika. Bila mgeuko wa usanifu wa 2012, miundo ya Transformer (2017) pamoja na upanuzi mkubwa mno yasingeweza kutoa uwezo wa kijumla wa kiwango cha ChatGPT.
