We are recording the truths which the Lion of the tribe of Judah is now unsealing. We are aligning truths in order to address the message of Joel, which Peter identified as the message of the latter rain in the book of Acts. We are approaching the truths that are now in the process of fulfillment, as the truths that accomplish the final separation of the two classes that are always manifested when a testing truth is unsealed. We also are addressing these very same unsealed truths as not only the words of the third angel who separates, but also as the words that accomplish the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The third angel both purges and purifies.

Sibhala iingqiniso iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda ezizityhilayo ngoku. Silungelelanisa iingqiniso ukuze siphendule isigidimi sikaYoweli, awathi uPetros wasichonga encwadini yeZenzo njengesigidimi semvula yamva. Sisondela kwiingqiniso ezikwindlela yokuzaliseka ngoku, njengeengqiniso ezenza ukwahlulwa kokugqibela kwamaqela amabini ahlala ebonakaliswa xa inyaniso evavanyayo ityhilwa. Kanjalo sikwajonga ezi ngqiniso zinye zityhiliweyo kungekhona kuphela njengamazwi engelosi yesithathu eyahlulayo, kodwa kwananjengamazwi afezekisa ukutywinwa kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka. Ingelosi yesithathu iyacoca kwanokuhlambulula.

Since July of 2023, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has been progressively unsealing truths associated with the external and internal lines in the history of the remnant people of God. We are now opening the book of Matthew, for the purpose of understanding the role of Peter. Peter is a symbol of Christ’s covenant relationship with His Christian bride—the church that He would build upon the Rock. Peter represents the first and also the last Christian bride. Peter is represented as that very symbol in the middle verse of chapters eleven and twenty-two of Matthew, and those chapters are the middle chapters of Genesis and Revelations’ parallel lines of chapter eleven to twenty-two. Peter is representing the one hundred and forty-four thousand in the latter days, and in the passage, he is at Caesarea Philippi, which is Panium of Daniel 11:13–15.

Ukususela kuJulayi ka-2023, iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda ibisoloko ityhila ngokuthe ngcembe iinyaniso ezinxulumene nemigca engaphandle nengaphakathi kwimbali yentsalela yabantu bakaThixo. Ngoku sivula incwadi kaMateyu, ngenjongo yokuqonda indima kaPetros. UPetros ngumqondiso wobudlelane bomnqophiso kaKristu noMtshakazi waKhe wobuKristu—ibandla Awayeya kulakha phezu kweLiwa. UPetros umele umtshakazi wokuqala wobuKristu kwangokunjalo nowokugqibela. UPetros umelwe njengalo mqondiso kanye kwivesi ephakathi yezahluko zeshumi elinanye nezingamashumi amabini anesibini zikaMateyu, yaye ezo zahluko zizahluko eziphakathi zemigca ehambelanayo yeGenesis neSityhilelo ukusuka kwisahluko seshumi elinanye ukuya kwesezingamashumi amabini anesibini. UPetros umele ikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka ngemihla yokugqibela, yaye kweso sicatshulwa, ukwaKesareya Filipi, enguPanium kaDaniyeli 11:13–15.

Peter is at Panium, and He is also located at the day of Pentecost, in the upper room at the third hour, and then in the temple at the ninth hour. The six hours represent the period of time when the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed leading up to the arrival of the Sunday law. The crucifixion of Christ also began at the third hour and He died at the ninth hour, which led to the resurrection, that began the Pentecostal season that ended with Peter at Pentecost at the third and ninth hour. When Providence sent the gospel to the Gentiles, Cornelius sent for Peter at the ninth hour. The third hour also represented the morning offering and the ninth hour the evening offering.

UPetros usePanium, yaye ukwakhona nangomhla wePentekoste, kwigumbi eliphezulu ngelixa leyure yesithathu, aze emva koko abe setempileni ngelixa leyure yesithoba. Ezi yure zintandathu zimele ixesha apho abo balikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka betywinwa, bekhokelela ekufikeni komthetho weCawa. Ukubethelelwa kukaKristu emnqamlezweni nako kwaqala ngeyure yesithathu, waza wafa ngeyure yesithoba, nto leyo eyakhokelela eluvukweni, olwaqalisa ixesha lePentekoste elaphela ngoPetros ePentekoste ngeyure yesithathu neyesithoba. Xa uLwalathiso oluNgcwele lwathumela iindaba ezilungileyo kwiiNtlanga, uKorneli wathumela ukuba kubizwe uPetros ngeyure yesithoba. Iseyure yesithathu nayo yayimela umnikelo wakusasa, ize iyure yesithoba imelwe ngumthendeleko wangokuhlwa.

The six-hour period was represented by the period of the Exeter Camp meeting and the great disappointment of October 22, 1844. In Acts, Peter is represented as coming into unity with the others who make up the one hundred and forty-four thousand at the end of chapter one, when Judas is replaced with Matthias. The number has then been made up. There is a specific progression identified in the story.

Ixesha leeyure ezintandathu lalimelwa lixesha lendibano yasekhempini yase-Exeter kunye nokudana okukhulu kwango-Oktobha 22, 1844. Encwadini yeZenzo, uPetros uboniswa engena ebunyeni nabanye abenza ikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka ekupheleni kwesahluko sokuqala, xa uYudas ethatyathelwa indawo nguMatthiya. Inani elo ke ngoko lalisele ligqityiwe. Kukho inkqubela ethile echongiweyo ebalini.

Peter is first in the upper room, and thereafter in the temple. When he is in the upper room it is the third hour, and in the temple, it is the ninth hour. The presentation at the third hour produced the baptism of three thousand souls.

UPetros uqala kwigumbi eliphezulu, aze emva koko abe setempileni. Xa ekwigumbi eliphezulu, lixesha lesithathu; kanti etempileni, lixesha lesithoba. Ukubonakaliswa ngexesha lesithathu kwavelisa ubhaptizo lwemiphefumlo engamawaka amathathu.

> Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41.

> Ngoko abo balamkela ngovuyo ilizwi lakhe babhaptizwa; yaye ngaloo mini kwadityaniswa kubo imiphefumlo emalunga namawaka amathathu. IZenzo 2:41.

From the numbering at the end of chapter one, until the temple at the ninth hour the period represents the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Ukusukela kwinani elisekupheleni kwesahluko sokuqala, kude kuse etempileni ngelixa lesithoba, elo xesha limela ukutywinwa kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand will present the message of justification by faith, which is the third angel’s message in verity. Justification is the work of God in laying the glory of man in the dust, as Sister White has so aptly noted.

Amakhulu alikhulu anamashumi amane anesine amawaka aya kuveza isigidimi sokugwetyelwa ngokholo, esingumyalezo wengelosi yesithathu enyanisweni. Ukugwetyelwa ngumsebenzi kaThixo wokubeka uzuko lomntu eluthulini, njengoko uDade White ekuphawule ngokufaneleyo kakhulu.

> “What is justification by faith? It is the work of God in laying the glory of man in the dust, and doing for man that which it is not in his power to do for himself. When men see their own nothingness, they are prepared to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ. When they begin to praise and exalt God all the day long, then by beholding they are becoming changed into the same image. What is regeneration? It is revealing to man what is his own real nature, that in himself he is worthless. These lessons you have never learned. Oh, that you could realize the value of the human soul.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 117.

> “Yintoni ukugwetyelwa ngokholo? Ngumsebenzi kaThixo wokubeka uzuko lomntu eluthulini, nokwenzela umntu oko kungekho mandleni akhe ukuzenzela ngokwakhe. Xa abantu bebona ukungabi nto kwabo, balungiselelwa ukwambathiswa ubulungisa bukaKristu. Xa beqalisa ukudumisa nokuphakamisa uThixo imini yonke, ngoko ke ngokubona bayaguqulwa babe ngumfanekiselo lowo mnye. Yintoni ukuzalwa ngokutsha? Kukutyhila emntwini oko kuyinyani ngobume bakhe, ukuba kuye ngokwakhe akanaxabiso. Ezi zifundo anisafundanga. Owu, akwaba beninokuqonda ixabiso lomphefumlo womntu.” Manuscript Releases, umqulu 20, 117.

An example of the message of justification as presented by the one hundred and forty-four thousand is Gideon, who is a covenant man, for his name was changed to Jerubbaal. Gideon’s message consisted of him placing a lit torch inside an earthen vessel, then smashing the vessel, blowing a trumpet and crying out, “the sword of the Lord and Gideon.” The sword of Gideon was also the Lord’s sword, for the sword is God’s Word, which is the combination of Divinity with humanity. That message was represented by the trumpet and his shout, as he broke the vessel. The vessel is humanity, that must be broken, or humbled into the dust, so the glory of God’s light might shine forth.

Umzekelo wesigidimi sokugwetyelwa njengoko sinikelwa ngabaliwaka elinamakhulu amane anamashumi amane anesine nguGidiyon, oyindoda yomnqophiso, kuba igama lakhe latshintshwa laba nguYerubhaali. Isigidimi sikaGidiyon sasiquka ukuba afake isibane esivuthayo ngaphakathi kwesitya sodongwe, aze ke asaphule eso sitya, avuthele ixilongo, aze adanduluke athi, “ikrele likaYehova nelikaGidiyon.” Ikrele likaGidiyon lalingelikaYehova kwangaxeshanye, kuba ikrele liLizwi likaThixo, eliyindibaniselwano yobuthixo nobuntu. Eso sigidimi samelwa lixilongo nangumkhwazo wakhe, xa wayesaphula isitya. Isitya sibuntu, obumele ukwaphulwa, okanye ukuthotywa kube seluthulini, ukuze uzuko lokukhanya kukaThixo lukhanye luphume.

Before proclaiming the message Gideon gathered 300 men through a testing process. When the process ended, Gideon had three hundred men. 300 is a tithe of the three thousand at Pentecost. They represent the army that is raised up in Ezekiel thirty-seven, who enter into the everlasting covenant.

Phambi kokuvakalisa isigidimi, uGidiyon waqokelela amadoda angama-300 ngenkqubo yokuvavanywa. Xa inkqubo yaphelayo, uGidiyon wayenamadoda angamakhulu amathathu. Ama-300 sisishumi samawaka amathathu asePentekoste. Amela umkhosi ovuswayo kuHezekile amashumi amathathu anesixhenxe, ongena emnqophisweni ongunaphakade.

> So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Ezekiel 37:10, 11.

> Ndaza ndaprofeta njengoko wayendiyalele; kwaza umphefumlo wangena kubo, baphila, baza bema ngeenyawo zabo, umkhosi omkhulu kunene. Wandula wathi kum, Nyana womntu, la mathambo ayindlu yonke kaSirayeli; yabona, bathi, Amathambo ethu omile, nethemba lethu lilahlekile; sinqunyulwe ngokupheleleyo. Hezekile 37:10, 11.

The house of Israel is cut off for their parts, and Ezekiel is going to illustrate how the parts of Judah and Ephraim that have been cut off will become one nation. That army is made up of two sticks that have been apart, but that are joined into one stick, when they enter into covenant with God.

Indlu kaSirayeli inqunyulwe ngenxa yamacandelo ayo, yaye uHezekile uza kubonisa indlela la macandelo akwaYuda nakaEfrayim anqunyuliweyo aya kuba luhlanga olunye. Loo mkhosi wenziwe ngeentonga ezimbini ezazisahlukene, kodwa ezidityaniswa zibe yintonga enye, xa zingena emnqophisweni noThixo.

> Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. Ezekiel 37:26–28.

> Kananjalo ndiya kwenza umnqophiso woxolo nabo; uya kuba ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade kubo; ndibamise, ndibandise, ndimise ingcwele yam phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade. Intente yam yokuhlala nayo iya kuba nabo; ewe, ndiya kuba nguThixo wabo, nabo baya kuba ngabantu bam. Ziya kwazi neentlanga ukuba mna Yehova ndingcwalisa amaSirayeli, xa ingcwele yam iya kuba phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade. Hezekile 37:26–28.

The “heathen shall know that the Lord” sanctifies Israel, when He puts His sanctuary into their midst. The joining of God’s sanctuary to God’s people represents the joining of the human temple with the divine temple, and when that occurs, God’s faithful 300 are sealed, and the world can only be warned by seeing a people who are sanctified during the Sunday law crisis.

“Abahedeni baya kwazi ukuba uYehova” uyangcwalisa uSirayeli, xa ebeka ingcwele yakhe phakathi kwabo. Ukudityaniswa kwengcwele kaThixo nabantu bakaThixo kumela ukudityaniswa kwetempile yomntu netempile engcwele, yaye xa oko kusenzeka, abathembekileyo bakaThixo abangama-300 bayatywinwa, yaye ihlabathi linokulumkiswa kuphela ngokubona abantu abangcwalisiweyo ngexesha lengxaki yomthetho weCawa.

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

> “Umsebenzi woMoya oyiNgcwele kukugwebela ihlabathi ngesono, nangobulungisa, nangomgwebo. Ihlabathi linokulumkiswa kuphela ngokubona abo bakholwayo enyanisweni bengcwaliswa ngayo inyaniso, besenza ngokwemigaqo ephakamileyo nengcwele, bebonakalisa ngendlela ephakamileyo nenobungangamsha umgca wokwahlula phakathi kwabo bagcina imithetho kaThixo, nabo bayinyathelela phantsi kweenyawo zabo. Ukungcwaliswa koMoya kubonakalisa umahluko phakathi kwabo banetywina likaThixo, nabo bagcina usuku lokuphumla oluyinkohliso. Xa uvavanyo lufika, kuya kubonakaliswa ngokucacileyo ukuba yintoni na uphawu lwerhamncwa. Kukugcina iCawe. Abo bathi, emva kokuva inyaniso, baqhubeke beluthabatha olu suku njengolungcwele, bathwala uphawu lomntu wesono, owacinga ukutshintsha amaxesha nemithetho.” Bible Training School, Disemba 1, 1903.

God’s sanctuary is joined to His church when the church transforms from the church militant unto the church triumphant. The covenant referred to by Ezekiel, is set forth in connection with the joining of the two sticks, that form one nation.

Ingcwele kaThixo idityaniswa nebandla laKhe xa ibandla liguquka lisuka ekubeni libandla elisemfazweni liye ekubeni libandla eloyisileyo. Umnqophiso ekubhekiswa kuwo nguHezekile, ubekwe phambi kwethu ngokunxulumene nokudityaniswa kweentonga ezimbini, ezakha uhlanga olunye.

> Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. And say unto them,

> Yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kuyithabatha intonga kaYosefu, esesandleni sikaEfrayim, nezizwe zakwaSirayeli amahlakani akhe, ndizibeke ndawonye nayo, kwanentonga kaYuda, ndizenze intonga ibe nye, zibe nye esandleni sam. Neentonga obhala kuzo ziya kuba sesandleni sakho phambi kwamehlo abo. Uze uthi kubo,

> Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 37:19–23.

> Utsho ke uYehova uThixo; Yabonani, ndiya kubathabatha abantwana bakaSirayeli phakathi kweentlanga, apho baye khona, ndibaqokelele macala onke, ndibabuyisele ezweni labo: Kwaye ndiya kubenza babe luhlanga olunye ezweni, ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli; nokumkani omnye uya kuba ngukumkani kubo bonke; abayi kuba ziintlanga ezimbini kwakhona, bengayi kuphinda bahlukane babe zizikumkani ezibini kwakhona konke konke: Kananjalo abayi kuphinda bazingcolise ngezithixo zabo, nangamasikizi abo, nangasiphi na isono sabo sokreqo: koko ndiya kubasindisa kuzo zonke iindawo zabo zokuhlala, apho bonileyo khona, ndibahlambulule: baze ke babe ngabantu bam, mna ndibe nguThixo wabo. Hezekile 37:19–23.

The stick of Ephraim and the stick of Judah are the two 2520 year scatterings against Ephraim and Judah that reached their conclusion on 1798 and October 22, 1844, respectively. They became the single nation of modern spiritual Israel on October 22, 1844, when the work of cleansing His people, or His sanctuary began. That history typifies the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand who will be purged and purified (cleansed) by the Messenger of the Covenant who suddenly comes to his temple at the Sunday law. When that purging is fulfilled, just in advance of the Sunday law, the church triumphant will have a king over them, and that king is David, who began his reign at thirty years old. It is the same David that in Matthew chapter one, is the fourteenth generation since Abraham. This identifies a third witness of David at the Sunday law. The mighty army that is raised up from the two sticks is led by king David, when the church is purged of tares.

Intonga kaEfrayim nentonga kaYuda zizizichithachitheko ezibini zeminyaka engama-2520 ezichasene noEfrayim noYuda ezafikelela esiphelweni sazo ngo-1798 nango-Oktobha 22, 1844, ngokulandelelana. Zaba luhlanga olunye lweSirayeli yokomoya yanamhlanje ngo-Oktobha 22, 1844, xa kwaqalayo umsebenzi wokuhlanjululwa kwabantu baKhe, okanye ingcwele yaKhe. Loo mbali ifuzisela imbali yekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka abaya kuhlanjululwa baze basulungekiswe (bahlanjululwe) nguMthunywa woMnqophiso ofika ngesiquphe etempileni yakhe ngexesha lomthetho weCawe. Xa oko kuhlanjululwa kuzalisekisiwe, kanye phambi komthetho weCawe, ibandla eloyisileyo liya kuba nokumkani phezu kwalo, yaye loo kumkani nguDavide, owaqalisa ukulawula eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu ubudala. Nguye kanye loo Davide othi, kuMateyu isahluko sokuqala, abe sisizukulwana seshumi elinesine ukususela kuAbraham. Oku kuchaza ubungqina besithathu bukaDavide ngexesha lomthetho weCawe. Umkhosi onamandla ovuswayo uphuma kwezo ntonga zimbini ukhokelwa nguKumkani uDavide, xa ibandla lihlanjululwa emdini.

> And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever. Ezekiel 37:24, 25.

> Kwaye umkhonzi wam uDavide uya kuba ngukumkani phezu kwabo; yaye bonke baya kuba nomalusi omnye; baya kuhamba emigwebeni yam, bayigcine imimiselo yam, bayenze. Baya kuhlala ezweni endalinika umkhonzi wam uYakobi, apho ooyihlo babehleli khona; yaye baya kuhlala kulo, bona, nabantwana babo, nabantwana babantwana babo ngonaphakade; yaye umkhonzi wam uDavide uya kuba yinkosana yabo ngonaphakade. Hezekile 37:24, 25.

That army is also the priests of first Peter chapter two, that are thirty years old when they begin their service.

Loo mkhosi ukwangababingeleli baka-1 Petros isahluko sesibini, abaneminyaka engamashumi amathathu ubudala xa beqalisa inkonzo yabo.

> Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5.

> Nani ke, njengamatye aphilayo, nakhiwa nibe yindlu yokomoya, ububingeleli obungcwele, ukuze ninikele ngemibingelelo yokomoya, eyamkelekileyo kuThixo ngoYesu Kristu. 1 Petros 2:5.

Those priests were also typified by the three hundred Millerite preachers who took the three hundred 1843 charts that were published, and employed the charts to take the message to their generation.

Abo babingeleli nabo babemelwe kwangaphambili ngabo bashumayeli bamaMillerite abangamakhulu amathathu abathabatha iitshathi ezingamakhulu amathathu zika-1843 ezazipapashiwe, baza bazisebenzisa ezo tshathi ekuthwaleni isigidimi besisa kwisizukulwana sabo.

> “After some discussion on the subject, it was voted unanimously to have three hundred similar to this one lithographed, which was soon accomplished. They were called ‘the ‘43 charts.’ This was a very important Conference.” The Autobiography of Joseph Bates, 263.

> “Emva kwengxoxo ethile ngalo mbandela, kwavotelwa ngamxhelo mnye ukuba kushicilelwe nge-lithograph amakhulu amathathu afana neli, nto leyo eyakhawuleza yenziwa. Zabizwa ngokuba ‘ziitshathi zika-’43.’ Le yayiyiNkomfa ebaluleke kakhulu.” The Autobiography of Joseph Bates, 263.

> “Now our history shows that there were hundreds teaching from the same chronological charts that William Miller was, all of one stamp. Then it was the oneness of the message all on one theme, the coming of the Lord Jesus at a certain time, 1844.” Joseph Bates, Early SDA Pamphlets, 17.

> “Ngoku imbali yethu ibonisa ukuba kwakukho amakhulu abafundisa besebenzisa iitshathi ezifanayo zobalo lwamaxesha awayezisebenzisa uWilliam Miller, bonke beluhlobo olunye. Ngoko ke kwakukho ubunye besigidimi, bonke benomxholo omnye, ukuza kweNkosi uYesu ngexesha elithile, ngo-1844.” Joseph Bates, Early SDA Pamphlets, 17.

The 300 Millerite preachers accomplished their work during the history of the first angel, and inspiration informs us the first angel typifies the third angel. They were according to Joseph Bates, “all of one stamp.” Gideon instructs his army of three hundred to do as he did. The 300 Millerite preachers, who were typified by Gideon’s army of three hundred, are to be aligned at 9/11, where the first message is empowered and the testing begins.

AbaShumayeli abangamaMillerite abangama-300 bawugqiba umsebenzi wabo ngexesha lembali yengelosi yokuqala, yaye ukuphefumlelwa kusazisa ukuba ingelosi yokuqala ifuzisela ingelosi yesithathu. NgokukaJoseph Bates, babengabantu “bonke besimo sinye.” UGidiyon uyalela umkhosi wakhe wabangamakhulu amathathu ukuba benze njengoko wayenzile yena. AbaShumayeli abangamaMillerite abangama-300, ababefuziselwe ngumkhosi kaGidiyon wabangamakhulu amathathu, bamele ukumiselwa ngokulungelelana e-9/11, apho umyalezo wokuqala unikwa amandla khona, novavanyo luqalisa.

> Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

> Waza uYerubhaali, onguGidiyon, nabo bonke abantu ababenaye, bavuka kusasa, bamisa inkampu ngasequleni laseHarodi; ke umkhosi wamaMidiyan wawungasentla kwabo, ngasegqumeni laseMore, entilini. Waza uYehova wathi kuGidiyon, Abantu abanani baninzi kum ukuba ndinikele amaMidiyan ezandleni zabo, hleze amaSirayeli aziqhayise ngam, esithi, Sisandla sam esindisindisileyo. Ngoko ke kaloku hamba, uvakalise ezindlebeni zabantu, usithi, Lowo unoloyiko nowoyikayo, makabuye, amke kwakusasa entabeni yaseGiliyadi. Babuya ke kubantu abangamawaka angamashumi amabini anesibini; kwasala amashumi alishumi amawaka. Waza uYehova wathi kuGidiyon, Abantu basebaninzi; behlise baye emanzini, ndibavavanye khona ngenxa yakho; kuze kuthi ke, lowo endiya kuthi ngaye kuwe, Lo uya kuhamba nawe, uya kuhamba nawe lowo; nalowo endiya kuthi ngaye kuwe, Lo akayi kuhamba nawe, akayi kuhamba lowo.

> So he brought down the people unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. Judges 7:1–6.

> Ngoko wabahlisela abantu emanzini; yaza iNkosi yathi kuGidiyon, Bonke abarhabula amanzi ngolwimi lwabo, njengoko irhabula inja, uya kubabeka bodwa; kwangokunjalo nabo bonke abaqubuda ngamadolo abo ukuze basele. Ke kaloku inani labo barhabulayo, besa isandla emlonyeni, lalingamadoda angamakhulu amathathu; ke bonke abanye abantu baqubuda ngamadolo abo ukuze basele amanzi. ABagwebi 7:1–6.

Gideon’s name is changed to Jerubbaal, meaning “to contend with Baal.” Gideon means “feller,” and John the Baptist laid the ax at the foot of the tree. John typified William Miller, the messenger of the first angel, which is where Gideon aligns. Gideon is Miller, the alpha Elijah, in the history of the three angels.

Igama likaGidiyon litshintshwa laba nguYerubhaali, elithetha ukuthi “ukuphikisana noBhahali.” UGidiyon uthetha ukuthi “umgawuli,” yaye uYohane umBhaptizi wabeka izembe emazantsi omthi. UYohane wayengumfuziselo kaWilliam Miller, umthunywa wengelosi yokuqala, apho uGidiyon ehambelana khona. UGidiyon nguMiller, uEliya we-alpha, kwimbali yeengelosi ezintathu.

The Midianites are the northern enemy, and they pitched by the hill of Moreh, and Gideon by the well of Harod, meaning fear and terror. 9/11 introduced terrorism and the first message is a call to fear God. Gideon is at 9/11, the well of Harod (terrorism), and the northern enemy in the valley by the hill of Moreh, meaning early rain. At 9/11 the sprinkling of the latter rain, which is the early rain, began to fall from the hill of Moreh. After the first of two tests, the twenty-two thousand were sent home from mount Gilead. Gilead means waymark, and the waymark where the twenty-two thousand were sent home is the first disappointment of April 19, 1844 or July 18, 2020. Twenty-two marks the waymark of the first disappointment, just as 22 identifies the day when the great disappointment arrived on October 22, 1844.

AmaMidiyan ngotshaba lwasentla, aza amisa ecaleni kwenduli yaseMore, uGidiyon yena ekufuphi nomthombo waseHarodi, okuthetha ukoyika noloyiko olukhulu. I-9/11 yazisa ubunqolobi, yaye umyalezo wokuqala lulubizo lokoyika uThixo. UGidiyon use-9/11, emthonjeni waseHarodi (ubunqolobi), yaye utshaba lwasentla lusesihlanjeni ecaleni kwenduli yaseMore, okuthetha imvula yokuqala. Kwi-9/11 ukutshizwa kwemvula yamva, eyimvula yokuqala, kwaqalisa ukuhla kusuka endulini yaseMore. Emva kovavanyo lokuqala kwezi zimbini, amawaka angamashumi amabini anesibini athunyelwa ekhaya esuka entabeni yaseGiliyadi. IGiliyadi ithetha isiphawuli sendlela, yaye isiphawuli sendlela apho amawaka angamashumi amabini anesibini athunyelwa ekhaya khona kukudana kokuqala kwangoAprili 19, 1844 okanye Julayi 18, 2020. Amashumi amabini anesibini aphawula isiphawuli sendlela sokudana kokuqala, kanye njengokuba u-22 echaza umhla ekwafika ngawo ukudana okukhulu ngo-Oktobha 22, 1844.

The next test was the test of the water, illustrated in Millerite history by the Exeter camp meeting, where there were two tents associated with water, thus representing two classes of worshippers. Exeter means “fortress on the water,” and the other tent was occupied by the foolish virgins from Watertown. Exeter represents the water test of Gideon, but it was not the water so much, as the methodology employed to drink the water. One class was too weary to keep moving as they scooped up the water, and the other class kept moving forward. One class was the weary class, represented by Leah in contrast with Rachel, who was the good traveler.

Uvavanyo olulandelayo lwaluluvavanyo lwamanzi, olwachazwa kwimbali yamaMillerite ngentlanganiso yenkampu yase-Exeter, apho kwakukho iintente ezimbini ezazinxulunyaniswa namanzi, ngaloo ndlela zimele iindidi ezimbini zabanquli. I-Exeter ithetha “inqaba esemanzini,” yaye enye intente yayihlaliswe ziintombi ezizizidenge zaseWatertown. I-Exeter imele uvavanyo lwamanzi lukaGidiyon, kodwa yayingengamanzi kangako, njengendlela eyasetyenziswayo ekuseleni amanzi. Elinye iqela lalidiniwe kakhulu ukuba liqhubeke lihamba ngoxa likha amanzi, yaye elinye iqela laqhubeka liqhubela phambili. Elinye iqela laliyiklasi ediniweyo, emelwe nguLeya ngokuchaseneyo noRakeli, owayengumhambi olungileyo.

The ministry of Future for America was Gideon at 9/11, when the first of two tests would purge a large class from Gideon’s band. The terrorism of 9/11 identifies the well of Harod’s fear and terror, and the hill of Moreh identifies the beginning of the latter rain. A separation took place on July 18, 2020 when twenty-two-thousand left, thus marking the arrival of the tarrying time with the number twenty-two. Gideon’s three hundred are those who pass the second test, which is the test of the methodology of the latter rain as identified in Isaiah twenty-eight.

Ubulungiseleli be-Future for America babunguGidiyon e-9/11, xa olokuqala lweemvavanyo ezimbini lwaliza kuhlambulula iqela elikhulu kwibandla likaGidiyon. Ubunqolobi be-9/11 buchaza umthombo waseHarodi woloyiko nenkwantya, yaye induli yaseMore ibonisa ukuqala kwemvula esemva kwexesha. Ukwahlulwa kwenzeka ngoJulayi 18, 2020 xa amashumi amabini anesibini amawaka emkayo, ngaloo ndlela kuphawulwa ukufika kwexesha lokulibaziseka ngenani lamashumi amabini anesibini. Amakhulu amathathu kaGidiyon ngabo badlula uvavanyo lwesibini, oluluvavanyo lwendlela yokusebenza yemvula esemva kwexesha njengoko ichongiwe kuIsaya wamashumi amabini anesibhozo.

Peter is at Panium as well as Pentecost. Pentecost is the Sunday law, and Daniel eleven verse sixteen is also the Sunday law. Verses thirteen through fifteen of chapter eleven of Daniel are Panium, and those verses represent the external prophetic history that leads to the Sunday law, and Peter in Acts, at the third and ninth hour represent the internal prophetic history that leads to the Sunday law. The external line is identifying the history that leads to the mark of the beast, and the internal identifies the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. With Peter being such an important symbol in both the external and internal history that is now in the process of fulfillment, it seemed appropriate to place Peter into the prophetic context which runs below the surface reading of Scripture.

UPetros ukwaPanium kwakunye nasePentekoste. IPentekoste ngumthetho weCawa, yaye uDaniyeli ishumi elinanye ivesi yeshumi elinesithandathu nawo ungumthetho weCawa. Iivesi zeshumi elinesithathu ukuya kweshumi elinesihlanu zesahluko seshumi elinanye sikaDaniyeli ziyiPanium, yaye ezo vesi zimele imbali yesiprofeto engaphandle ekhokelela kumthetho weCawa, yaye uPetros kwiZenzo, ngexesha lesithathu nelesithoba, umele imbali yesiprofeto engaphakathi ekhokelela kumthetho weCawa. Umgca wangaphandle uchonga imbali ekhokelela kuphawu lwerhamncwa, yaye ongaphakathi uchonga imbali yokutywinwa kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka. Kuba uPetros eluphawu olubaluleke kakhulu kokubini kwimbali yangaphandle neyangaphakathi ngoku esekwinkqubo yokuzaliseka, kwabonakala kufanelekile ukumfaka uPetros kulo mongo wesiprofeto ohamba ngaphantsi kofundo olungaphezulu lweSibhalo.

The twelve Messianic prophecies that are marked as fulfilled in the book of Matthew represent the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The “time of the end” marks the beginning of a reformatory movement, and just as the birth of Aaron and Moses marked the “time of the end” in the line of Moses, the alpha of Christ, so too the birth of John, and his cousin Jesus marked the “time of the end” in 1989. Whether it is worthwhile to consider the twelve Messianic prophecies is more intriguing, when placed in context by raising another question. What other biblical book marks as many Messianic fulfillments as found in Matthew?

Iziprofeto ezilishumi elinesibini ezingoMesiya eziphawulwe njengazalisekileyo encwadini kaMateyu zimele imbali yamawaka alikhulu anamashumi amane anesine. “Ixesha lokuphela” liphawula ukuqala kwentshukumo yohlaziyo, yaye kanye njengokuba ukuzalwa kuka-Aron noMoses kwaphawula “ixesha lokuphela” kumgca kaMoses, u-alfa kaKristu, ngokunjalo nokuzalwa kukaYohane, nomzala wakhe uYesu kwaphawula “ixesha lokuphela” ngowe-1989. Enoba kufanelekile kusini na ukuqwalasela ezi ziprofeto ezilishumi elinesibini ezingoMesiya kuba nomtsalane ngakumbi, xa zibekwe emxholo ngokuphakanyiswa komnye umbuzo. Yiyiphi na enye incwadi yeBhayibhile ephawula ukuzaliseka okungako okungoMesiya njengoko kufunyanwa kuMateyu?

> “The work of God in the earth presents, from age to age, a striking similarity in every great reformation or religious movement. The principles of God’s dealing with men are ever the same. The important movements of the present have their parallel in those of the past, and the experience of the church in former ages has lessons of great value for our own time.” The Great Controversy, 343.

> “Umsebenzi kaThixo emhlabeni ubonakalisa, ukusuka kwisizukulwana ukuya kwesinye, ukufana okumangalisayo kulo lonke uhlaziyo olukhulu okanye intshukumo yonqulo. Imigaqo yokusebenza kukaThixo ngabantu ihlala ifana ngamaxesha onke. Iintshukumo ezibalulekileyo zeli xesha langoku zinento ezifanayo nezo zamaxesha adlulileyo, yaye amava ecawa kwizizukulwana zangaphambili aneziifundo ezixabiseke kakhulu zexesha lethu.” The Great Controversy, 343.

Every reformatory movement has a starting point, which is labelled as “the time of the end,” in the book of Daniel. The time of the end in the reformatory movement of Christ was His birth, which typified both 1798 and 1989,

Yonke intshukumo yohlaziyo inendawo yokuqala, ebizwa ngokuba “lixesha lesiphelo,” encwadini kaDaniyeli. Ixesha lesiphelo kwintshukumo yohlaziyo kaKristu yaba kukuzalwa kwaKhe, okwakungumfuziselo wawo omabini u-1798 no-1989,

Uphawu Lokuqala LwamaMesiya—1989

> And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Matthew 2:5, 6.

> Baza bathi kuye, EseBhetelehem yelaseYuda; kuba kubhaliwe ngolo hlobo ngomprofeti kwathiwa, Nawe Bhetelehem, ezweni lakwaYuda, akunguye omncinane phakathi kweenkosi zakwaYuda; kuba kuwe kuya kuphuma uMlawuli, oya kubalusa abantu bam amaSirayeli. Mateyu 2:5, 6.

> But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Micah 5:2.

> Ke wena, Bhetleheme-Efrata, nangona umncinane phakathi kwamawaka akwaYuda, kanti ke kuya kuphuma kuwe, esiza kum, lowo uya kuba ngumlawuli kwaSirayeli; ukuphuma kwakhe kwakukho kwakudala, kususela emaphakadeni. Mika 5:2.

1989 was the time of the end for the movement of the third angel. It arrived 126 years after the rebellion of 1863, and was represented by Ronald Reagan and George Bush the senior. The time of the end in the history of Moses was the birth of Aaron and Moses, as was the time of the end in the history of Christ the birth of John the Baptist and Christ. When the book of Daniel is unsealed, as it was in 1989, there is an increase of knowledge. That increase of knowledge leads to the second waymark, identifying when a testing message is developed from the knowledge that was unsealed.

Unyaka ka-1989 wawulixesha lesiphelo lentshukumo yengelosi yesithathu. Wafika kwiminyaka eli-126 emva kovukelo luka-1863, yaye wawumelwe nguRonald Reagan noGeorge Bush omkhulu. Ixesha lesiphelo kwimbali kaMoses yayikukuzalwa kukaAron noMoses, kwananjengoko ixesha lesiphelo kwimbali kaKristu laliyikukuzalwa kukaYohane umBhaptizi noKristu. Xa incwadi kaDaniyeli ivulwa amatywina ayo, njengoko yenzeka ngo-1989, kubakho ukwanda kolwazi. Olo lwando lolwazi lukhokelela kuphawu lwesibini, lubonisa ukuba umyalezo wokuvavanya uphuhliswa nini kulwazi olwaluvulwe amatywina alo.

Every reformatory movement marks a point when the message is formalized and thereafter becomes a testing message. Christ always explains the test, in advance of holding men and women responsible for the test. Adam and Eve were told in advance of the results that would happen if they disobeyed, and God never changes.

Yonke intshukumo yohlaziyo iphawula inqanaba apho isigidimi sibekelwa ngokusesikweni, yaye emva koko siba sisigidimi sovavanyo. UKristu usoloko ecacisa uvavanyo kwangaphambili, engakabambi amadoda nabafazi benoxanduva ngolo vavanyo. UAdam noEva baxelelwa kwangaphambili ngeziphumo ezaziza kulandela ukuba babengathobeli, yaye uThixo akaguquki naphakade.

> And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:16, 17.

> Yaye uYehova uThixo wamyalela umntu, esithi, Kuyo yonke imithi yomyezo ungadla kuyo ngokukhululekileyo; kodwa emthini wokwazi okulungileyo nokubi uze ungadli kuwo; kuba mhla uthe wadla kuwo uya kufa okunene. Genesis 2:16, 17.

William Miller “formalized” the testing message of the first angel in 1831 through 1833. The message of the one hundred and forty-four thousand was formalized in 1996, with the publication of the Time of the End magazine that covers the last six verses of Daniel eleven, that were unsealed in 1989. In that year the publication titled, Prophetic Time Lines was also published, and set forth the methodology that is twenty-two times more powerful than the rules adopted by William Miller. Those rules are now set forth in the publication Prophetic Keys. The rules which all who proclaim the third angel’s message will employ are Miller’s rules.

UWilliam Miller wawumisela “ngokusesikweni” umyalezo wokuvavanywa wengelosi yokuqala ukususela ngowe-1831 ukuya kowe-1833. Umyalezo wabaliwaka elinye elinamakhulu amane anamashumi amane anesine wamiswa ngokusesikweni ngowe-1996, ngokupapashwa kwemagazini ethi Time of the End, egubungela iivesi ezintandathu zokugqibela zikaDaniyeli ishumi elinanye, ezatyhilwa ngowe-1989. Kulo nyaka kwapapashwa kwakhona incwadi enesihloko esithi, Prophetic Time Lines, yaza yabeka indlela yokusebenza enamandla aphindwe ngamashumi amabini anesibini kunemithetho eyamkelwa nguWilliam Miller. Loo mithetho ngoku ibekwe kwincwadi ethi Prophetic Keys. Imithetho eya kusetyenziswa ngabo bonke abavakalisa umyalezo wengelosi yesithathu yimithetho kaMiller.

> “Those who are engaged in proclaiming the third angel’s message are searching the Scriptures upon the same plan that Father Miller adopted.” Review and Herald, November 25, 1884.

> “Abo babandakanyekileyo ekubhengezeni umyalezo wengelosi yesithathu bayaziphengulula iziBhalo ngalo kanye icebo awalamkelayo uBawo uMiller.” Review and Herald, November 25, 1884.

Miller’s rules are the alpha and Prophetic Keys are the omega. The only way to pass a prophetic testing message, is to employ the methodology of study outlined in God’s Word. The true message cannot be separated from the true methodology that establishes the message. In every reform movement the testing message for that generation is set forth, and it includes the correct methodology as an element of the waymark. Miller’s message was based upon the unsealing of the book of Daniel. His message was Gideon’s message, for it also produced an army of three hundred.

Imithetho kaMiller yi-alpha, kwaye iiZitshixo zeSiprofeto ziyi-omega. Ekuphela kwendlela yokuluphumelela uvavanyo lomyalezo wesiprofeto, kukusebenzisa indlela yokufunda echazwe eLizwini likaThixo. Umyalezo oyinyaniso awunakwahlulwa kwindlela eyinyaniso eyamisela loo myalezo. Kuyo yonke intshukumo yohlaziyo umyalezo wovavanyo weso sizukulwana ubekwa phambi kwabantu, kwaye uquka indlela echanileyo njengenxalenye yophawu lwendlela. Umyalezo kaMiller wawusekelwe ekuvulweni kwencwadi kaDaniyeli. Umyalezo wakhe wawungumyalezo kaGidiyon, kuba nawo wavelisa umkhosi wabantu abangamakhulu amathathu.

> And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. Judges 7:16–18.

> Wawahlula amadoda angamakhulu amathathu aba ngamaqela amathathu, wanika wonke umntu ixilongo esandleni sakhe, neengqayi ezingenanto, nezibane ngaphakathi kweengqayi. Waza wathi kubo, Khanijonge kum, nenze ngokunjalo; yaye, yabonani, xa ndifika ngasemdeni wenkampu, kuya kuba kukuba, njengoko ndisenza, nani niya kwenza ngokunjalo. Xa ndivuthela ixilongo, mna nabo bonke abanam, nani bovuthela amaxilongo ngapha nangapha kuyo yonke inkampu, nize nithi, Ikrele leNkosi, nelikaGidiyon. ABagwebi 7:16–18.

Miller’s message was the “trumpet,” and the “sword.” Yet it was the sword of both Gideon and the Lord. The Word of the Lord was published in 1611, and 220 years later Miller published his message of the first angel. The Declaration of Independence was published in 1776, and 220 years later in 1996, the message of the third angel was published. Millers was the first angel’s internal message of God’s people, as represented by the vision of the Ulai River, announcing the opening of judgment. The third angel’s message of Future for America is the external message of God’s people, as represented by the vision of the Hiddekel River, announcing the close of judgment.

Umyalezo kaMiller wawuyi“xilongo,” yaye uyiyo “ikrele.” Noko ke lali likrele likaGidiyon kwakunye nelo leNkosi. ILizwi leNkosi lapapashwa ngowe-1611, yaye kwiminyaka engama-220 kamva uMiller wapapasha umyalezo wakhe wengelosi yokuqala. ISibhengezo seNkululeko sapapashwa ngowe-1776, yaye kwiminyaka engama-220 kamva, ngowe-1996, umyalezo wengelosi yesithathu wapapashwa. OkaMiller wawungumyalezo wangaphakathi wengelosi yokuqala kubantu bakaThixo, njengoko umelwe ngumbono woMlambo i-Ulai, uvakalisa ukuvulwa komgwebo. Umyalezo wengelosi yesithathu we-Future for America ngumyalezo wangaphandle wabantu bakaThixo, njengoko umelwe ngumbono woMlambo i-Hiddekel, uvakalisa ukuvalwa komgwebo.

The prophetic methodology is represented by one of the Messianic prophecies identified by Matthew as being fulfilled by Christ, and in so doing typifies 1831, with the “father” representing his son in 1996. The two witnesses of methodology are an alpha and omega, and with the human messenger’s involvement, together they establish a father and son relationship, which is the relationship of Malachi’s Elijah message. The hearts of the father are turned to the children, and vice versa. Miller’s rules are to be joined with the rules titled as Prophetic Keys. The new light must be built upon the old light. Those who choose not to employ the methodology of 1831 and 1996 are cursed. One class is cursed, and the other is blessed. The choice is yours?

Indlela yesiprofeto imelwe sesinye seziprofeto ezingoMesiya ezachongwa nguMateyu njengezazalisekiswa nguKristu, yaye ngokwenjenjalo ifanekisa u-1831, apho “utata” emele unyana wakhe ngo-1996. AmaNgqina amabini endlelayo angualfa no-omega, yaye ngokubandakanyeka komthunywa ongumntu, ngokudibeneyo amisela ubudlelane botata nonyana, obubo ubudlelane besigidimi sikaEliya sikaMalaki. Iintliziyo zooyise ziphendulelwa ebantwaneni, nezabantwana zooyise. Imithetho kaMiller imele ukudityaniswa nemithetho enesihloko esithi Izitshixo Zesiprofeto. Ukukhanya okutsha kumele kwakhiwe phezu kokukhanya okudala. Abo bakhetha ukungasebenzisi indlela ka-1831 neka-1996 baqalekisiwe. Elinye iqela liqalekisiwe, kanti elinye lisikelelekile. Ukhetho lolwakho?

Uphawu lwesiBini lwaMesiya —1996

> That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Matthew 13:35.

> ukuze kuzaliseke okwathethwayo ngomprofeti, esithi, Ndiya kuvula umlomo wam ngemizekeliso; ndiya kuthetha izinto ebezifihlakele kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi. Mateyu 13:35.

## Prediction

Isiprofeto

> I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old. Psalms 78:2.

> Ndiya kuvula umlomo wam ngomzekeliso; ndiya kuthetha amazwi antsokothileyo akudala. Iindumiso 78:2.

The dark sayings; the parables that the Lion of the tribe of Judah “utters” represent line upon line presentations of truths that have been sealed up, or kept secret from the foundation of the world. Once the message is formalized, it is thereafter empowered by a fulfillment of prophecy that marks the beginning of a testing time.

Amazwi amnyama; imizekeliso ethi iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda “iwathethayo” imela izityhilelo zenyaniso ezithi zibe ngumgca phezu komgca, eziye zatywinwa, okanye zagcinwa ziyimfihlelo, kususela ekusekweni kwehlabathi. Xa umyalezo sele ubunjwe ngokusesikweni, emva koko uxhobiswa ngamandla kukuzaliseka kwesiprofeto okuphawula ukuqala kwexesha lokulingwa.

When the latter rain began to sprinkle on September 11, 2001, the rebellion of 1888 and of Korah was repeated. At the Minneapolis rebellion of 1888 and with Korah’s rebellion, God’s selected messengers were rejected along with the message they presented. Both the baby and the bath water were thrown out together. They were thrown out under the premise that the whole congregation was as holy, as those God had selected. The rebels were unable to see Divinity with the human messengers. All they could see was themselves, humanity void of Divinity, so they thought everyone was the same.

Xa imvula yamva yaqalisa ukutshiza ngomhla we-11 kuSeptemba 2001, uvukelo lwango-1888 nolukaKora lwaphindwa. Kuvukelo lwaseMinneapolis lwango-1888 nakuvukelo lukaKora, abathunywa abanyuliweyo bakaThixo balahlwa kunye nesigidimi ababesizisa. Zombini umntwana namanzi okuhlamba zalahlwa kunye. Zalahlwa phantsi kwengcamango yokuba lonke ibandla lingcwele kanye njengabo abo uThixo wayebanyulile. Abavukeli babengakwazi ukububona ubuThixo kubathunywa abangabantu. Ekuphela kwento ababeyibona yayingabo ngokwabo, ubuntu obungenabo ubuThixo, ngoko ke babecinga ukuba wonke umntu uyafana.

> Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord? Numbers 16:1–3.

> Ngoku uKora, unyana kaItsare, unyana kaKohati, unyana kaLevi, noDatan noAbhiram, oonyana bakaEliyabhi, no-Oni, unyana kaPelete, oonyana bakaRubhen, bathabatha amadoda; baza basuka bema phambi koMoses, benabathile kubantwana bakwaSirayeli, izikhulu zamabandla ezingamakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu, amadoda adumileyo ebandleni, amadoda anegama: baza bazihlanganisa nxamnye noMoses nxamnye noAron, bathi kubo, Nizithwalisa kakhulu, ekubeni lonke ibandla lingcwele, bonke bephela, yaye uYehova uphakathi kwabo; yini na ke ngoko ukuba niziphakamise ngaphezu kwebandla likaYehova? Numeri 16:1–3.

The rebellion of Korah, 1888 and 9/11 is represented as a refusal to submit to God’s choice of selected leadership, while placing confidence in a false definition of God’s congregation. Jeremiah identifies the same phenomenon when the rebels claimed the “temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these.”

Uqhushululu lukaKora, u-1888 no-9/11 lumelwe njengokwala ukuzithoba kukhetho lukaThixo lobunkokeli abakhethiweyo, lo gama kubekwa ithemba kwinkcazo yobuxoki yebandla likaThixo. UYeremiya uchaza kwaeso siganeko sinye xa abavukeli babanga besithi, “itempile kaYehova, itempile kaYehova zezi.”

> The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

> Ilizwi elafika kuYeremiya livela eNkosini, lisithi,

> Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.

> Yima esangweni sendlu kaYehova, uvakalise khona eli lizwi, uthi, Liveni ilizwi likaYehova, nonke nina bakwaYuda, ningena ngala masango ukuze nikhonze uYehova. Utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Lungisani iindlela zenu nezenzo zenu, ndoninika ukuhlala kule ndawo. Musani ukukholosa ngamazwi obuxoki, nisithi, Itempile kaYehova, Itempile kaYehova, Itempile kaYehova, zezi.

> For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

> Kuba xa nithe nayilungisa ngokwenene iindlela zenu nezenzo zenu; ukuba nithe nawuphumeza ngokwenene umgwebo phakathi komntu nommelwane wakhe; ukuba aniyi kumcinezela owasemzini, nenkedama, nomhlolokazi, ningachithi gazi limsulwa kule ndawo, ningahambi emva kwabanye oothixo, kube kukwenzakala kwenu: ndoko ke ndiya kunihlalisa kule ndawo, ezweni endalinika ooyihlo, ngonaphakade kanaphakade.

> Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. Jeremiah 7:1–8.

> Khangelani, nikholose ngamazwi obuxoki, angenakunceda nto. Yeremiya 7:1–8.

The lying words of the Jews in Jeremiah’s period, are the lying words of Korah and his cohorts, the rebels of 1888 and of course, the rebels of 9/11. They are the lies that the drunkards of Ephraim hide beneath in Isaiah twenty-eight.

Amazwi obuxoki amaYuda ngexesha likaYeremiya, ngawona mazwi obuxoki kaKora namaqabane akhe, abavukeli bonyaka ka-1888 yaye ke kaloku, nabavukeli be-9/11. Ngawo la maxoki azimela phantsi kwawo amanxila akwaEfrayim kuIsaya wamashumi amabini anesibhozo.

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

> Ngako oko yivani ilizwi leNkosi, nina madoda agxekayo, alawula aba bantu baseYerusalem. Ngenxa yokuba nithe, Senze umnqophiso nokufa, yaye nesihogo sivumelene naso; xa isibetho esiphuphuma sigqitha, asiyi kusifikela; kuba senze ubuxoki baba yindawo yethu yokusabela, size sazifihla phantsi kobuxoki. Isaya 28:14, 15.

It is also the lie that represents a lack of love of the Truth, which brings strong delusion in 2 Thessalonians.

Kukwabubuxoki obubonisa ukuswela uthando lweNyaniso, oluzisa inkohliso enamandla ku-2 Thessalonians.

> And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12.

> Ngenxa yesi sizathu uThixo uya kubathumela inkohliso enamandla, ukuze bakholwe ubuxoki; ukuze bagwetyelwe bonke abo bangakholwanga yinyaniso, koko bakholiswa kukungalungisi. 2 Tesalonika 2:11, 12.

The “lying words” represent the foolish idea that the church is where salvation is found, not in chosen messengers and their chosen messages. The connection between God and man is accomplished and maintained only through His Word. He is the Word, and no man cometh to the Father except by the Word. Christ is represented by His chosen messengers and the message they present. To believe otherwise, is to hate the Truth and believe a lie. Jeremiah condemns the Jews who trust in the temple, by reminding them of Shiloh, where God’s Ark had been since the entrance into the Promised Land.

“Amazwi obuxoki” amele ingcinga yobudenge yokuba usindiso lufumaneka ecaweni, kungekhona kubathunywa abanyuliweyo nakwizigidimi zabo abanyuliweyo. Unxulumano phakathi koThixo nomntu luphunyezwa yaye lugcinwa kuphela ngeLizwi laKhe. UliLizwi, yaye akukho mntu uzayo kuYise ngaphandle kweLizwi. UKristu umelwa ngabathunywa baKhe abanyuliweyo nangesigidimi abasizisayo. Ukukholelwa ngenye indlela kukuthiya iNyaniso nokukholwa bubuxoki. UYeremiya ugxeka amaYuda athembela etempileni, ngokuwakhumbuza ngeShilo, apho iTyeya kaThixo yayihleli khona ukususela ekungeneni kwawo kwiLizwe leDinga.

> Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Jeremiah 7:14–16.

> Ngako oko ndiya kwenza kule ndlu ibizwa ngegama lam, eniyithembayo, nakule ndawo ndayinika nina nooyihlo, njengoko ndenzayo eShilo. Kwaye ndiya kunigxotha ebusweni bam, njengoko ndabakhuphayo bonke abazalwana benu, yona yonke imbewu kaEfrayim. Ngako oko musa ukubathandazela aba bantu, ungabaphakamisi ukukhala nomthandazo ngenxa yabo, ungandibongozi ngenxa yabo; kuba andiyi kukuva. Yeremiya 7:14–16.

Wicked Eli, and his two wicked sons, Hophni and Phineas parallel and align with Korah, Dathan and Abiram for allowing escalating apostasy to develop until probation closed and all three died on the same day, as did Korah, Dathan and Abiram. They all die at the Sunday law!

UEli ongendawo, noonyana bakhe ababini abangendawo, uHofeni noPinehasi, bayafana kwaye bayahambelana noKora, noDatan, noAbhiram, kuba bavumela uwexuko olwandayo ukuba luphuhle de kwavalwa ixesha lokuvavanywa, baza bobathathu bafa kwangolo suku lunye, njengokuba kwafa noKora, noDatan, noAbhiram. Bonke bafa ngexesha lomthetho weCawa!

At 9/11 Korah’s rebellion, and the rebellion of Eli, the rebellion of the Jews in Jeremiah’s testimony and the rebels of 1888 reject and rebel against the message and messengers of that period. That period concludes at the Sunday law after two tests. The first test is from 9/11 unto July 18, 2020, and the second test is the purging and sealing represented by the message of the Midnight Cry. Out of that purification process Gideon and His three hundred are prepared to blow their trumpets, and they do so when Samuel is raised up at the Sunday law, which is when the Ark is captured by the Philistines. Then the church triumphant is lifted up as an ensign.

Ngo-9/11 imvukelo kaKora, nemvukelo kaEli, imvukelo yamaYuda kubungqina bukaYeremiya, nabavukeli bango-1888 bayaligatya yaye bayalivukela ilizwi nabathunywa belo xesha. Elo xesha liphela kumthetho weCawa emva kweemvavanyo ezimbini. Uvavanyo lokuqala lususela ku-9/11 luse kowe-18 Julayi 2020, yaye uvavanyo lwesibini kukuhlanjululwa nokutywinwa okumelwe sisigidimi seSikhalo Sasezinzulwini Zobusuku. Kule nkqubo yokucocwa uGidiyon nabakhe abangamakhulu amathathu balungiselelwa ukuvuthela amaxilongo abo, yaye benza njalo xa uSamuweli evuswa kumthetho weCawa, elo lixesha apho iTyeya ithinjwa ngamaFilisti. Emva koko ibandla eloyisayo liyaphakanyiswa njengomqondiso.

That church has a king, David by name, and a prophet represented by Ezekiel, and Samuel, at the overthrow of Shiloh. The church will also have the priesthood represented by Joseph. The Sunday law testing time is where the fire of the Holy Spirit is poured out without measure, as represented by the seventh seal. That fire destroys the men of renown who rebelled with Korah, Dathan, Abiram, Eli, Hophni, Phineas and the rebels of 1888.

Loo nkonzo unokumkani, uDavide ngegama, nomprofeti omelwe nguHezekile, noSamuweli, ngexesha lokuwiswa kweShilo. Ibandla liya kuba nobubingeleli obumelwe nguYosefu. Ixesha lokuvavanywa komthetho weCawa kulapho umlilo woMoya oyiNgcwele ugalelwa khona ngaphandle komlinganiselo, njengoko umelwe lilitywina lesixhenxe. Lowo mlilo ubatshabalalisa amadoda adumileyo avukela kunye noKora, uDatan, uAbhiram, uEli, uHofeni, uPinehasi, nabavukeli bango-1888.

That very fire of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, is the backdrop of the drama of the church triumphant. The church is represented by king David, the prophet Ezekiel and Joseph the priest. Those three are standing in the fire that destroys the 250 men of renown, as did Nebuchadnezzar’s fire destroy the men who threw the three worthies into the furnace. As the church triumphant, the whole world watches as they are thrown into the fiery furnace, and suddenly, the Son of God appears with the churches’ prophet, priest and king—represented by Shadrach, Meshak and Abednego. Four thirty-year old’s in the fiery furnace representing the truth that Divinity combined with humanity does not sin!

Kanye loo mlilo wokuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele, usisizinda somdlalo wecawe eyoyisayo. Icawe imelwe nguKumkani uDavide, umprofeti uHezekile noYosefu umbingeleli. Abo bathathu bema emlilweni otshabalalisa amadoda angama-250 adumileyo, kanye njengokuba umlilo kaNebhukadenetsare watshabalalisa amadoda awaphosa amadoda amathathu anobugorha ezikweni lomlilo. Njengecawe eyoyisayo, ihlabathi liphela libukele xa bephoswa ezikweni lomlilo, yaye ngequbuliso, uNyana kaThixo ubonakala ekunye nomprofeti, umbingeleli nokumkani weecawe—bemelwe nguShadraki, uMeshaki noAbhednego. Abane abaneminyaka engamashumi amathathu ubudala ezikweni lomlilo bemele inyaniso yokuba ubuThixo obudityaniswe nobuntu abonisi!

Korah, Dathan and Abiram, who are also Eli, Hophni and Phineas are the counterfeit of the church triumphant that is made up with a prophet, priest and king. Those three are Gideon’s 300, the three thousand souls at Pentecost, the 300 Millerite preachers, the three-hundred 1843 charts, who are thirty years old when the Sunday law arrives and fire comes down out of heaven. With Elijah the fire was to distinguish between the true and false prophets. The fire that comes down in Leviticus on the “eighth” day, when Aaron begins to serve, consumes Aaron’s offering, which is the offering of Malachi three, that is pleasant as in former years. That same fire destroys those who offer strange or common fire, as represented by Hophni and Phineas, the sons of Aaron.

UKora, uDatan noAbhiram, abangoEli, uHofeni noPinehasi nabo, bangumgunyathi webandla eloyisayo elenziwe ngomprofeti, umbingeleli nokumkani. Abo bathathu ngabangama-300 bakaGidiyon, yimiphefumlo engamawaka amathathu ngePentekoste, ngabashumayeli abangama-300 bamaMillerite, ziitshathi ezingamakhulu amathathu zika-1843, abangamashumi amathathu eminyaka ubudala xa umthetho weCawa ufika kuze umlilo wehle usuka ezulwini. KuEliya umlilo wawungowokwahlula phakathi kwabaprofeti bokwenyaniso nabobuxoki. Umlilo owehla kwiLevitikus ngomhla “wesibhozo,” xa uAron eqalisa ukukhonza, uyawutshisa umnikelo kaAron, ongumnikelo kaMalaki isithathu, owamkelekileyo njengakwiminyaka yangaphambili. Loo mlilo mnye uyabatshabalalisa abo banikela umlilo wasemzini okanye oqhelekileyo, njengoko bemelwe nguHofeni noPinehasi, oonyana bakaAron.

When God is confirming the true prophet with Elijah, or the true priest with Aaron the fire leads to the death of the false prophets of Baal, who are also Hophni and Phineas. Hophni and Phineas are the sons of Aaron, they are the last generation of a covenant people who are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord at the Sunday law.

Xa uThixo eqinisekisa umprofeti oyinyaniso ngoEliya, okanye umbingeleli oyinyaniso ngoAron, umlilo ukhokelela ekufeni kwabaprofeti bobuxoki bakaBhahali, abangoHofeni noPinehasi nabo. UHofeni noPinehasi bangoonyana bakaAron; bangabizukulwana bokugqibela babantu bomnqophiso abagabhelwayo baphume emlonyeni weNkosi ngomthetho weCawa.

> “These are not the words of Sister White, but the words of the Lord, and His messenger has given them to me to give to you. God calls upon you to no longer work at cross purposes with Him. Much instruction was given in regard to men claiming to be Christian when they are revealing the attributes of Satan, counteracting in spirit, word, and action the advancement of truth, and are surely following the path where Satan is leading them. In their hardness of heart they have grasped authority which in no way belongs to them, and which they should not exercise. Saith the great Teacher, ‘I will overturn, overturn, overturn.’ Men say in Battle Creek, ‘The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we’ but they are using common fire. Their hearts are not softened and subdued by the grace of God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 13, 222.

> “La asingawo mazwi kaDade White, koko ngamazwi eNkosi, yaye umthunywa waYo uwandinikile ukuba ndiwanike nina. UThixo unibizela ekubeni ningabe nisasebenza niphikisana naYe. Kwanikwa imfundiso eninzi ngokubhekisele kumadoda azibiza ngokuba angamaKristu lo gama ebonakalisa iimpawu zikaSathana, echasa ngomoya, ngelizwi, nangesenzo ukuqhubela phambili kwenyaniso, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo alandela umendo apho uSathana ewakhokela khona. Ngokulukhuni kweentliziyo zawo azibambele igunya elingelilo lawawo nangayiphi na indlela, naleyo angafanele ayisebenzise. Itsho iTitshala enkulu, ‘Ndiya kubhukuqa, ndibhukuqe, ndibhukuqe.’ Amadoda athi eBattle Creek, ‘Itempile yeNkosi, itempile yeNkosi singayo thina,’ kodwa asebenzisa umlilo oqhelekileyo. Iintliziyo zawo azithambiswanga zaza zathotywa lubabalo lukaThixo.” Manuscript Releases, volume 13, 222.

The “common fire” is what Aaron’s son used when the priesthood began. The number “81” is a symbol of the priesthood, and in Leviticus eight, verse one, the seven days of purification and consecration of the priest is illustrated. Their clothes are removed and replaced with the garments of the Heavenly High Priest’s, as illustrated in Zechariah’s vision of Joshua and the angel in chapter three. The 300 in Zechariah are represented as “men wondered at,” for they represented in the history when God removes the iniquities of His people, which is the Sunday law, when the church is transformed from militant to triumphant. After seven days of consecration, the began to serve on day eight.

“Umlilo oqhelekileyo” ngulo wasetyenziswa ngunyana ka-Aron xa ubupristi baqalayo. Inani elithi “81” liluphawu lobupristi, yaye kwiLevitikus isahluko sesibhozo, umqolo wokuqala, kubonakaliswa iintsuku ezisixhenxe zokuhlanjululwa nokungcwaliswa kombingeleli. Izambatho zabo ziyasuswa zize zithatyathelwe indawo zizambatho zoMbingeleli Omkhulu waseZulwini, njengoko kubonisiwe embonweni kaZekariya ngoYoshuwa nengelosi kwisahluko sesithathu. Ama-300 kuZekariya amelwe ngokuthi “ngamadoda amangalisiweyo,” kuba ayemele kwimbali ixesha xa uThixo esusa ubugwenxa babantu baKhe, nto leyo engumthetho weCawa, xa ibandla liguqulwa lisuke kwelilwayo lisiya kweloyisileyo. Emva kweentsuku ezisixhenxe zokungcwaliswa, baqalisa ukukhonza ngomhla wesibhozo.

> And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you. Leviticus 8:33.

> Ningaphumi emnyango womnquba wokuhlangana iintsuku ezisixhenxe, zide zizaliseke iintsuku zokungcwaliswa kwenu; kuba uya kuningcwalisa iintsuku ezisixhenxe. Levitikus 8:33.

Day eight, is a symbol of the eighth that is of the seven, of Laodicea turning into Philadelphia, of the eight souls on Noah’s ark, of the eighth day of circumcision, and the eighth day of resurrection. That day is the Sunday law, when the papacy’s deadly wound is healed, and therefore resurrected it becomes the eighth, that is of the seven.

Usuku lwesibhozo luluphawu lowesibhozo ongowabasixhenxe, lweLaodikea ijika ibe yiFiladelfiya, lwemiphefumlo esibhozo eyayisemkhombeni kaNowa, losuku lwesibhozo lolwaluko, kwanolosuku lwesibhozo lovuko. Loo mini ngumthetho weCawa, xa inxeba elibulalayo lobupopu liphiliswa, yaye ngoko, sele luvusiwe, buba ngowesibhozo, ongowabasixhenxe.

> And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel. Leviticus 9:1.

> Kwathi ke ngomhla wesibhozo, uMoses wabiza uAron noonyana bakhe, namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli. Levitikus 9:1.

On day eight, the priests began to serve, but Aaron’s sons offered “common fire.” Adventism claim that they are the temple of the Lord, and Sister White identified that claim as common fire. Not only is it a lie, but it is common fire, as contrasted with holy fire. The holy fire is the message of the Midnight Cry, and the common fire is the counterfeit peace and safety message, that will be the last message proclaimed by the dumb dogs that refused to bark, and give a warning message. In chapter nine, Aaron presents the offering, and fire comes down out of heaven and consumes the offering. Then his two wicked sons, offer common fire and God’s fire consumes them.

Ngomhla wesibhozo, ababingeleli baqalisa ukukhonza, kodwa oonyana baka-Aron banikela “umlilo oqhelekileyo.” Ubu-Adventism bubanga ukuba bona bayitempile yeNkosi, yaye uDade White wayichaza loo mabango njengomlilo oqhelekileyo. Asibubuxoki kuphela oko, kodwa ngumhlilo oqhelekileyo, ngokuchaseneyo nomlilo ongcwele. Umlilo ongcwele sisigidimi soKhalelo lwasezinzulwini zobusuku, yaye umlilo oqhelekileyo sisigidimi somgunyathi soxolo nokhuseleko, esiya kuba sisigidimi sokugqibela esishunyayelwa zizinja ezizizidenge ezala ukukhonkotha nokunika isigidimi sesilumkiso. Kwisahluko sesithoba, uAron unikezela umnikelo, yaye umlilo wehla uvela ezulwini wawudla umnikelo. Emva koko oonyana bakhe ababini abangendawo banikela umlilo oqhelekileyo, yaye umlilo kaThixo wabadla.

> And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people. And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. Leviticus 9:22–10:2.

> Waza uAron wasolula isandla sakhe ngakubantu, wabasikelela, wehla ekunikeleni umnikelo wesono, nomnikelo otshiswayo, nemibingelelo yoxolo. Waza uMoses noAron bangena emnqubeni wokuhlangana, baphuma, babasikelela abantu; lwabonakala ke uzuko lweNkosi kubo bonke abantu. Kwaza kwaphuma umlilo uvela phambi kweNkosi, wadla phezu kwesibingelelo umnikelo otshiswayo namanqatha; abathi bonke abantu bakukubona oko, badanduluka, bawa ngobuso phantsi. Ke ooNadabhi noAbhihu, oonyana baka-Aron, bathabatha elowo isitya sakhe sesiqhumiso, bafaka umlilo kuso, bafaka nesiqhumiso kuso, banikela phambi kweNkosi ngomlilo wasemzini, engabawisileyo yona. Kwaza kwaphuma umlilo uvela eNkosini, wabadla, bafa phambi kweNkosi. Levitikus 9:22–10:2.

The men of Battle Creek are the modern Sanhedrin who trust in their church structure above the message of the True Witness to Laodicea. The True Witness to Laodicea is Christ, and He never changes, and he has always used men of His own choosing to present the message to a people who were manifesting the characteristics of Laodicea. There is nothing new under the sun.

Amadoda aseBattle Creek ayiSanhedrin yale mihla athembela kulwakhiwo lwecawe yawo ngaphezu komyalezo woNgqina Othembekileyo oya eLawodike. UNgqina Othembekileyo oya eLawodike nguKristu, yaye akaguquki naphakade, yaye ebesoloko esebenzisa amadoda awazikhethelayo ngokwakhe ukuba avakalise umyalezo kubantu ababebonakalisa iimpawu zeLawodike. Akukho nto intsha phantsi kwelanga.

He selected Moses, who had been trained by God alone for forty years, just as Jesus and his cousin John had been trained. He selected Moses, Christ and John as examples of those trained outside of the formal educational system. Nazareth represents a symbol of a person who has been chosen, as were the new upstarts; Jones and Waggoner in the 1888 Minneapolis rebellion. Nazareth represents the calling and consecration of a chosen man, but the chosen man is a citizen of a city that is disrespected.

Wakhetha uMoses, owayeqeqeshwe nguThixo yedwa iminyaka engamashumi amane, kanye njengokuba uYesu nomzala wakhe uYohane babeqeqeshiwe. Wakhetha uMoses, uKristu noYohane njengemizekelo yabo baqeqeshwe ngaphandle kwenkqubo yemfundo esemthethweni. INazarete imele umqondiso womntu onyuliweyo, njengoko kwakunjalo ngaba batsha bavukelayo, uJones noWaggoner kwimvukelo yaseMinneapolis ka-1888. INazarete imele ubizo nokungcwaliswa komntu onyuliweyo, kodwa loo mntu unyuliweyo ungummi wesixeko esideliweyo.

> And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. John 1:46.

> UNatanayeli wathi kuye, Kanti kungakho na into elungileyo evela eNazarete? UFilipu wathi kuye, Yiza ubone. Yohane 1:46.

The stammering tongues of Isaiah 28, represent those who came from Nazareth. After the formalization of Miller’s message in 1831, the message was empowered by the fulfillment of the prophecy of the second woe, typifying the fulfillment of a prophecy of the third woe at 9/11. We will take up the third Messianic prophecy in the next article.

Iilwimi ezithintithayo zikaIsaya 28 zimele abo baphuma eNazarete. Emva kokumiselwa ngokusesikweni kwesigidimi sikaMiller ngowe-1831, eso sigidimi saxhotyiswa ngokuzaliseka kwesiprofeto sesibetho sesibini, esifuzisela ukuzaliseka kwesiprofeto sesibetho sesithathu ngomhla we-9/11. Siya kuqwalasela isiprofeto sesithathu sikaMesiya kwinqaku elilandelayo.

> “Three nights before the Review office burned, I was in an agony that words cannot describe. I could not sleep. I walked the room, praying to God to have mercy upon His people. Then I seemed to be in the Review office with the men who have the management of the institution. I was trying to speak to them and thus to help them. One of authority arose and said, ‘You say, The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we; therefore, we have authority to do this thing and that thing and the other thing. But the word of God forbids many of the things that you propose to do.’ At His first advent, Christ cleansed the Temple. Prior to His second advent He will again cleanse the temple. He was there cleansing the temple. Why? Because commercial work had been brought in, and God had been forgotten. With hurry here and hurry there and hurry somewhere else, there was no time to think of heaven. The principles of God’s law were presented, and I heard the question asked, ‘How much of the law have you obeyed?’ Then the word was spoken, ‘God will cleanse and purify His temple in His displeasure.’

> “Kwiintsuku ezintathu zobusuku ngaphambi kokuba iofisi ye-Review itshiswe, ndandikwintlungu yokuphelelwa lithemba engachazekiyo ngamazwi. Andikwazanga ukulala.

Ndandizama ukuthetha nawo ukuze ngaloo ndlela ndiwancede. Kwavuka Omnye onegunya wathi, ‘Nithi, Itempile kaYehova, itempile kaYehova singabo thina; ngenxa yoko, sinegunya lokwenza le nto naleya nto nalenye into. Kodwa ilizwi likaThixo liyakwalela okuninzi kwezo zinto niceba ukuzenza.’ Ekufikeni kwaKhe kokuqala, uKristu wayicoca iTempile. Ngaphambi kokufika kwaKhe kwesibini uya kuphinda ayicoce itempile. Wayelapho eyicoca itempile. Ngani? Kuba umsebenzi wokurhweba wawungenisiwe, yaye uThixo wayelityelwe. Ngokukhawuleza apha nangokukhawuleza phaya nangokukhawuleza kwenye indawo, kwakungekho xesha lokucinga ngezulu. Imigaqo yomthetho kaThixo yaziswa, ndaza ndeva kubuzwa umbuzo, ‘Ungakanani na umthetho lowo owuwulileyo?’ Emva koko kwathethwa ilizwi, ‘UThixo uya kuyicoca, ayihlambulule itempile yaKhe ngomsindo waKhe.’”

I want to tell you that if after the warnings given in these burnings the leaders of our people go right on, just as they have done in the past, exalting themselves, God will take the bodies next. Just as surely as He lives, He will speak to them in language that they cannot fail to understand.

> “These are not the words of Sister White, but the words of the Lord, and His messenger has given them to me to give to you. God calls upon you to no longer work at cross purposes with Him. Much instruction was given in regard to men claiming to be Christian when they are revealing the attributes of Satan, counteracting in spirit, word, and action the advancement of truth, and are surely following the path where Satan is leading them. In their hardness of heart they have grasped authority which in no way belongs to them, and which they should not exercise. Saith the great Teacher, ‘I will overturn, overturn, overturn.’ Men say in Battle Creek, ‘The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we’ but they are using common fire. Their hearts are not softened and subdued by the grace of God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 13, 222.

> “La asingamazwi kaSister White, koko ngamazwi eNkosi, yaye umthunywa wayo uwandinikile ukuze ndiwanike nina. UThixo unibizela ekubeni ningabe nisasebenza ngokuchasene neenjongo zaKhe. Kwanikwa umyalelo omkhulu ngokuphathelele amadoda azibanga engamaKristu, kanti atyhilela iimpawu zikaSathana, echasene ngomoya, ngelizwi, nangokwenza nokukhuthaza ukuqhubela phambili kwenyaniso, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo alandela indlela apho uSathana ewakhokelela khona. Ekuqineni kweentliziyo zawo abambe igunya elingelolawo nangayiphi na indlela, nelingafanelekanga ukuba alisebenzise. Itsho iMfundisi enkulu ukuthi, ‘Ndiya kubhukuqa, ndibhukuqe, ndibhukuqe.’ Abantu bathi eBattle Creek, ‘Itempile yeNkosi, itempile yeNkosi siyiyo thina,’ kodwa basebenzisa umlilo oqhelekileyo. Iintliziyo zabo azithanjiswanga, azoyiswanga lubabalo lukaThixo.” Manuscript Releases, volume 13, 222.
