As we return to identify the hidden history of verse forty it seems prudent to first review the basics of the first four articles of this series. The first of four articles in this series presented a prophetic interpretation, portraying Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah (and Alpha and Omega) who unseals portions of Daniel chapter eleven at pivotal moments to direct the final reform movement of the 144,000. It identifies that the history of the first and second angels aligns with the history of the third angel’s message, thus identifying that in 1989, (126 years after the 1863 Adventist rebellion), the Lion unsealed Daniel 11:40–45. Those unsealed verses trace the papacy’s 1798 deadly wound, its healing through a threefold union of a dragon, beast, and false prophet leading on to Armageddon at “the glorious holy mountain” of verse forty-five. As the one hundred and forty-four thousand movement nears the soon coming Sunday law in the United States, the hidden history of verse 40 (spanning 1989 to that Sunday law) began to be unsealed in July, 2023.

Njengoko sibuyela ekuchongeni imbali efihlakeleyo yendima yamashumi amane, kubonakala kufanelekile ukuba kuqala sihlolisise iziseko zamanqaku amane okuqala ale ngcelele. Inqaku lokuqala kula manqaku mane ale ngcelele lanikela ingcaciso yesiprofeto, limzoba uKristu njengeNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda (kunye noAlfa no-Omega) ovula amacandelo kaDaniyeli isahluko seshumi elinanye ngamaxesha abalulekileyo ukuze alathise intshukumo yokugqibela yohlaziyo yabalikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka. Lichaza ukuba imbali yengelosi yokuqala neyesibini iyahambelana nembali yomyalezo wengelosi yesithathu, ngaloo ndlela lichonge ukuba ngowe-1989, (iminyaka eli-126 emva kovukelo lwama-Adventist lowe-1863), iNgonyama yavula uDaniyeli 11:40–45. Ezo ndima zivuliweyo zilandela inxeba elibulalayo lobupopu lowe-1798, ukuphiliswa kwalo ngomanyano oluphindwe kathathu lwenamba, lerhamncwa, nelomprofeti wobuxoki, zikhokelele phambili ukuya eArmagedon “entabeni ezukileyo engcwele” yendima yamashumi amane anesihlanu. Njengoko intshukumo yabalikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka isondela kumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala eUnited States, imbali efihlakeleyo yendima yama-40 (esusela ku-1989 ukuya kuloo mthetho weCawa) yaqala ukuvulwa ngoJulayi, 2023.

Drawing on Ellen White’s commentary that the portion of the unsealed book of Daniel which related to the last days produces an “increase of knowledge” that prepares a people to stand. “Oil” is identified as the Holy Spirit, divine messages and character in the ten virgin’s parable. The unsealing triggered the threefold testing process of Daniel 12:10, where many are “purified, made white, and tried.” The history represents several prophetic points when prophecy was unsealed beginning with 1989, September 11, 2001 and July, 2023. Those various unsealing’s represent a period from 1989 unto 9/11, the period of 9/11 unto the soon coming Sunday law, and the period of the tarrying time from July 18, 2020 unto December 31, 2023 when the Midnight Cry message is progressively unsealed unto the Sunday law.

Isebenzisa amazwi kaEllen White achazayo okokuba inxalenye yencwadi kaDaniyeli engatywinwanga enxulumene nemihla yokugqibela ivelisa “ukwanda kolwazi” okulungiselela abantu ukuba beme. “Ioli” ichazwa njengoMoya oyiNgcwele, izigidimi ezingcwele, kunye nesimilo emzekelisweni weentombi ezilishumi. Ukutyhilwa kwetywina kwabangela inkqubo yokuvavanywa enamacala amathathu kaDaniyeli 12:10, apho abaninzi “bahlanjululwa, benziwa mhlophe, bavavanywa.” Le mbali imela amanqaku aliqela esiprofeto xa isiprofeto sasiqalisa ukutyhilwa, kuqalwa ngo-1989, ngoSeptemba 11, 2001 nangoJulayi 2023. Ezo zityhilelo zahlukeneyo zimela ixesha elisusela ku-1989 kuse ku-9/11, ixesha elisusela ku-9/11 kuse kumthetho weCawa osondelayo, kunye nexesha lokulibaziseka elisusela kuJulayi 18, 2020 kuse kuDisemba 31, 2023, xa isigidimi soKhalelo lwaseBusuku sityhilwa ngokuthe ngcembe kuse kumthetho weCawa.

The awakening of the candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand, represented by Ezekiel 37’s dry bones and Revelation eleven’s two witnesses who stand when filled with the Spirit is accomplished by the unsealing. If God’s people fail to awaken to this “precious light” showing perils like the papal power and Sunday law, heresies sift them (separating chaff from wheat). Earlier prophetic waymarks such as the 1888 Blair Bill and the Patriot Act are identified as prophetic warnings. The article identifies that all prior lines of prophetic history represented within Daniel chapter eleven repeats in verses 40-45. The article identifies that the image of the beast is formed first in the United States and then in the world as typified by 321 and the first Sunday law, followed by the global image of the beast typified by 538 as Michael stands up and probation closes.

Ukuvuswa kwabagqatswa bokuba phakathi kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka, abamelwe ngamathambo omileyo kaHezekile 37 nangamangqina amabini eSityhilelo 11 amayo xa ezaliswe nguMoya, kufezekiswa kukuvulwa kwamatywina. Ukuba abantu bakaThixo bayasilela ukuvukela koku “kukhanya kuxabisekileyo” kubonisa iingozi ezinjengamandla obupopu nomthetho weCawa, iimfundiso ezibubuxoki ziyabahlunga (zahlula umququ kwingqolowa). Iimpawu zangaphambili zesiprofeto ezinjengoMthetho oyilwayo kaBlair ka-1888 nePatriot Act zichongwa njengezilumkiso zesiprofeto. Inqaku lichaza ukuba yonke imigca yangaphambili yembali yesiprofeto emelwe phakathi kwesahluko se-11 sikaDaniyeli iyaphinda kwiindinyana 40-45. Inqaku lichaza ukuba umfanekiselo werhamncwa uqala ukusekwa eUnited States, uze emva koko usekwe ehlabathini njengoko kufanekiswa ngu-321 nomthetho wokuqala weCawa, kulandelwe ngumfanekiselo werhamncwa wehlabathi lonke ofanekiswa ngu-538 njengoko uMikayeli esukuma nethuba lokuvavanywa livaliwe.

The second of the four articles continues the prophetic framework by identifying the Patriot Act of 2001 as the United States “speaking” in fulfillment of Revelation 13:11. The Patriot Act was the first of three constitutional repudiations that parallel the three waymarks at the beginning of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy; 1776 Declaration of Independence, 1789 Constitution, and 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts. 1888’s failed Blair Bill, a national Sunday-law attempt was withdrawn like unto Cestius’ siege in the year 66; both typifying 2001, when the Patriot Act initiated the image-of-the-beast testing period in the United States. The Patriot Act aligns with 1776, and replaced English “innocent until proven guilty” common law, with Roman “guilty until proven innocent” civil law. The middle waymark, represented by 1789—the Pelosi Trials beginning in January 2022—trampled procedural and substantive due process through political lawfare, false-flag operations, and agency corruption, openly denying fundamental rights. These three waymarks of speaking in the 2001 Patriot Act, 2022 Pelosi Trials, and the coming Sunday law progressively repudiate every principle of the U.S. Constitution.

Eyesibini kula manqaku mane siqhubekekisa isakhelo sesiprofeto ngokuchonga iPatriot Act ka-2001 njengokuthi iUnited States “ithethe” ekuzalisekiseni kweSityhilelo 13:11. IPatriot Act yaba yeyokuqala kwezintathu zokuchithwa komgaqo-siseko ezihambelana namanqaku amathathu aphawulayo ekuqaleni kobukumkani besithandathu besiprofeto seBhayibhile; iSibhengezo seNkululeko sika-1776, uMgaqo-siseko ka-1789, kunye neAlien and Sedition Acts zika-1798. IBhili kaBlair ka-1888 eyasilelayo, eyayililinge lomthetho wesizwe weCawa, yarhoxiswa ngendlela efana nokungqingwa kukaCestius ngonyaka wama-66; zombini zifuzisela u-2001, xa iPatriot Act yaqalisa ixesha lovavanyo lomfanekiselo werhamncwa eUnited States. IPatriot Act ihambelana no-1776, yaza yathabatha indawo yomthetho oqhelekileyo wesiNgesi othi “umsulwa ade afunyaniswe enetyala,” yawubeka umthetho woluntu wamaRoma othi “unetyala ade abonakalise ukuba umsulwa.” Inqaku eliphakathi eliphawulayo, elimelwe ngu-1789—iiTyala zikaPelosi eziqala ngoJanuwari 2022—lanyathela iinkqubo zobulungisa ezifanelekileyo kunye nomxholo wazo ngezomthetho wemfazwe yezopolitiko, imisebenzi ye-false-flag, kunye nokonakala kwamaziko, likhanyela ngokuvulekileyo amalungelo asisiseko. La manqaku mathathu aphawulayo okuthetha kwiPatriot Act ka-2001, kwiiTyala zikaPelosi zika-2022, nakumthetho weCawa ozayo, ngokulandelelana ayaqhubeka nokuchitha wonke umgaqo woMgaqo-siseko wase-U.S.

Then Protestantism joins hands with popery and spiritualism in the threefold union, at which point the United States speaks as a dragon, fully forms the image of the beast, fills its cup of probation, and ceases as the sixth kingdom. National apostasy is then followed by national ruin. The speaking at the Sunday law is typified by the beginning and first Sunday law of Constantine in 321 and then the ending and last Sunday law is represented by 538.

Ke ngoko ubuProtestanti budibanisa izandla nobuPopu kwanobuthakathi benyama kumanyano oluphindwe kathathu, apho iUnited States ithetha njengenamba, yenza ngokupheleleyo umfanekiso werhamncwa, izalise indebe yayo yovavanyo, ize iyeke ukuba bubukumkani besithandathu. Ukulahleka kokunyaniseka kwesizwe kuze kulandelwe yintshabalalo yesizwe. Ukuthetha ngexesha lomthetho weCawa kubonakaliswa ngesiqalo nomthetho wokuqala weCawa kaConstantine ngowama-321, aze ke ukuphela nomthetho wokugqibela weCawa kubonakaliswe ngowama-538.

All of these events are hidden within the prophetic history of Daniel 11:40, which runs parallel to the Millerite and also Christ-to-cross lines. Revelation 12:15–16 portrays the Constitution as the “earth” that once swallowed the dragon’s flood of persecution, that ultimately speaks as the dragon at the soon coming Sunday law. Ellen White’s warning in Testimonies, volume 5 (pages 711 and 451, 452) that any religious legislation that concedes to the papacy, and that the Sunday law will reveal the dragon’s spirit; confirms the three steps of 1776, 1789, and 1798 are waymarks that typify the final three-step testing process that concludes at the final test and the testing process is what prepares God’s people to stand.

Zonke ezi ziganeko zifihlwe ngaphakathi kwimbali yesiprofeto kaDaniyeli 11:40, ehamba ngaxeshanye nemigca yamaMillerite kwanemigca kaKristu ukuya emnqamlezweni. ISityhilelo 12:15–16 sibonisa uMgaqo-siseko njenge-“mhlaba” owakhe wayiginya imkhukula wentshutshiso wenamba, kodwa oya kuthi ekugqibeleni uthethe njengenamba emthethweni weCawa osondelayo. Isilumkiso sika-Ellen White kwiTestimonies, umqulu 5 (amaphepha 711 no-451, 452), sokuba nawuphi na umthetho wenkolo onikezela kubupopu, kwanokuba umthetho weCawa uya kutyhila umoya wenamba, siqinisekisa ukuba amanyathelo amathathu ka-1776, 1789, no-1798 aziimpawu zendlela ezimela ngokomfuziselo inkqubo yokugqibela yokuvavanywa enamanyathelo amathathu, ephelela kuvavanyo lokugqibela, kwaye le nkqubo yokuvavanywa yeyona ilungiselela abantu bakaThixo ukuba beme.

The third article elaborates further on Ellen White’s warnings in Testimonies, volume 5, pages 451, 452, asserting that the soon coming Sunday law in the United States marks the decisive moment when the nation fully disconnects from righteousness, accomplishes the threefold union (Protestantism grasping Romanism and spiritualism). The United States then repudiates every constitutional principle as a Protestant and republican government, and propagates papal delusions. This is the signal that the limit of God’s forbearance has been reached, thus filling up the nation’s cup of iniquity, prompting the angel of mercy’s departure and initiating national ruin. Then the answer to the martyrs’ cry from the fifth seal of, “How long?” arrives as a second group of papal martyrs is made up. The dragon’s spirit is revealed when the “Sunday movement” speaks—serving as the modern “abomination of desolation” (spoken of by Daniel and referenced by Christ) as a sign to flee the cities before destruction. The Sunday law is the conclusion of the progressive repudiation of the Constitution that began in 2001 with the Patriot Act (typified by the 1888 Blair Bills, Cestius’s 66 AD siege, Christ’s baptism, August 11, 1840 and The Declaration of Independence).

Inqaku lesithathu lichaza ngakumbi izilumkiso zikaEllen White ezikuTestimonies, umqulu 5, amaphepha 451, 452, lisithi umthetho weCawa ozayo kungekudala eUnited States uphawula umzuzu ogqibeleleyo apho isizwe sizahlula ngokupheleleyo ebubulungiseni, sigqibezela umanyano oluphindwe kathathu (ubuProtestanti bubamba ubuRoma nomoya wokusebenzelana nemimoya). IUnited States ke iyazikhaba zonke izimiso zomgaqo-siseko njengorhulumente wobuProtestanti noweriphabhlikhi, ize isasaze iinkohliso zobupopu. Lo ngumqondiso wokuba umda wokunyamezela kukaThixo ufikelelwe, ngaloo ndlela kuzaliswa indebe yesizwe yobugwenxa, nto leyo ekhokelela ekumkeni kwengelosi yenceba nasekuqaliseni intshabalalo yesizwe. Ke ngoko kufika impendulo kwisikhungo sabafeli-nkolo setywina lesihlanu esithi, “Koda kube nini?” njengoko kusakheka iqela lesibini labafeli-nkolo bobupopu. Umoya wenamba utyhilwa xa “intshukumo yeCawa” ithetha—isebenza njengale mihla “yesikizi sokuphanzisa” (ekwathethwa ngaso nguDaniyeli nesalathiswa nguKristu) njengomqondiso wokubaleka emizini ngaphambi kwentshabalalo. Umthetho weCawa usisiphelo sokukhatywa okuqhubekayo koMgaqo-siseko okwaqala ngo-2001 ngoMthetho wePatriot Act (ofuziselwa yiBlair Bills zango-1888, ukungqinga kukaCestius ngo-66 AD, ubhaptizo lukaKristu, uAgasti 11, 1840 neSibhengezo seNkululeko).

The period of the formation of the image of the beast in the United States includes a complicated dual line, involving parallel Republican (political) and Protestant (religious) “horns” that ultimately unite in church-state enforcement of Sunday laws. The relationship mirrors the papal beast’s woman-over-beast control and is fully manifested at the overturning of the Constitution’s core principle of the separation of church and state.

Ixesha lokwakhiwa komfanekiselo werhamncwa eUnited States libandakanya umgca ombaxa onzima, oquka “iimpondo” ezihambelanayo zoMrephabliki (ezopolitiko) nezobuProtestanti (ezonqulo) ezithi ekugqibeleni zimanyane ekunyanzelisweni kwemithetho yeCawa ngecala lombuso necawe ngokudibeneyo. Olu lwalamano lubonisa ulawulo lomfazi phezu kwerhamncwa kwirhamncwa lobupopu, yaye lubonakaliswa ngokupheleleyo ekubhukuqweni komgaqo osisiseko woMgaqo-siseko wokwahlulwa kwecawe nombuso.

Internally, the image of the beast testing time tests character formation (Christ’s image versus Satan’s beast image) among all people, separating wise and foolish virgins, while externally identifying the latter days political struggles, alliances and broken treaties. The 2001 unto the Sunday law period initiates the sprinkling of the latter rain (beginning when the Revelation 18 angel descended on September 11, 2001, lightening the earth via the fall of New York’s great buildings). 9/11 begins the sifting of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism through acceptance or rejection of the “little book” message that is to be eaten as in Revelation 10. The wheat and tares remain together until their separation at the Sunday law, when the one hundred and forty-four thousand are lifted up as the ensign and the arrival of the full outpouring of the latter rain during the worldwide image-of-the-beast formation, typified by 321 to 538. Then the gathering of the great multitude from Babylon commences until Michael stands up and probation closes. This aligns with judgment beginning first with God’s house from 9/11, then to the eleventh-hour workers post-Sunday law.

Ngaphakathi, ixesha lokuvavanywa lomfanekiselo werhamncwa livavanya ukwakheka kwesimilo (umfanekiselo kaKristu ngokuchaseneyo nomfanekiselo werhamncwa likaSathana) phakathi kwabantu bonke, lahlula iintombi ezizizilumko kweziyiziidenge, lo gama ngaphandle lichonga imizabalazo yezopolitiko, imanyano, neminqophiso eyaphulwayo yemihla yokugqibela. Ixesha elisusela ku-2001 ukuya kwixesha lomthetho weCawa liqalisa ukufafazwa kwemvula yasemva kwexesha (kuqalwa xa ingelosi yeSityhilelo 18 yehla ngomhla we-11 Septemba 2001, ikhanyisa ihlabathi ngokuwiswa kwezakhiwo ezikhulu zaseNew York). U-9/11 uqalisa ukuhlujwa kweLaodike yaseSeventh-day Adventism ngokwamkelwa okanye ngokwaliwa komyalezo “wencwadi encinane” ekufanele idliwe njengoko kukwiSityhilelo 10. Ingqolowa nomdiza kuhlala kunye de kube kukwahlulwa kwazo kumthetho weCawa, xa ikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka liphakanyiswa njengomqondiso, kunye nokufika kokuthululwa okupheleleyo kwemvula yasemva kwexesha ngexesha lokwakhiwa komfanekiselo werhamncwa kwihlabathi liphela, okufanekiselwe ngu-321 ukuya ku-538. Emva koko kuqalisa ukuqokelelwa kwesihlwele esikhulu siphuma eBhabheli de uMikayeli asukume kuvalwe ixesha lobabalo. Oku kuyahambelana nomgwebo oqala kuqala endlwini kaThixo ukususela ku-9/11, uze emva koko uye kubasebenzi beyure yeshumi elinanye emva komthetho weCawa.

The third article emphasizes that surviving the period when celestial glory and past persecutions are blended and repeated requires prior mastery of prophecy, via line-upon-line methodology of Isaiah 28. The methodology is exemplified by Daniel’s worthies, Christ’s disciples pre-Pentecost, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego at the furnace who are typify as those who are prepared to stand securely on “It is written,” amid Satan’s marvelous workings and counterfeits.

Inqaku lesithathu ligxininisa ukuba ukusinda kwelo xesha xa uzuko lwasezulwini neentshutshiso zangaphambili zidibana zize ziphindwe kufuna ukulawulwa kwangaphambili kwesiprofeto, ngendlela yomgca phezu komgca kaIsaya 28. Le ndlela ibonakaliswa ngabalungileyo bakaDaniyeli, ngabafundi bakaKristu phambi kwePentekoste, nangoShadraki, uMeshaki, noAbhednego ezikweni lomlilo, abamiselwa ngokomfuziselo njengabo balungiselelwe ukuma beqinile ngokuphepha phezu kokuthi, “Kubhaliwe,” phakathi kwemisebenzi emangalisayo kaSathana neyokuxelisa kwakhe.

The fourth article explains that the prophetic testing process of the formation of the image of the beast in the United States runs parallel to and is intertwined with the three constitutional waymarks (Patriot Act in 2001 as the initial “speaking,” Pelosi Trials in 2022 as the middle, and the Sunday law as the final). The testing process prepares the wise virgins (the 144,000) to endure the crowning trial of persecution that begins at the Sunday law, when national apostasy leads to ruin. Satan then unleashes marvelous counterfeits (claiming to be God with miracles), and celestial glory blends with repeated past persecutions, allowing God’s people to walk unmoved in the light proceeding from God’s throne. This preparation mirrors Christ’s strategy in John six (as commented on in The Desire of Ages, 394), where He permitted a severe test to weed out self-seeking followers early, strengthening the true disciples for their ultimate trial (Gethsemane, betrayal, crucifixion) by His presence. Similarly, the image-of-the-beast test—encompassing the internal character formation (Christ’s image vs. Satan’s beast image) and external church-state union overturning separation of church and state—sifts Laodicean Adventism. The test purifies the wise through acceptance of the unsealed message via the line-upon-line methodology of, Isaiah 28.

Inqaku lesine lichaza ukuba inkqubo yovavanyo lwesiprofeto yokubunjwa komfanekiso werhamncwa eUnited States ihamba ngaxeshanye yaye iphothene neempawu ezintathu zomgaqo-siseko zendlela (iPatriot Act ngo-2001 njengokuqala “ukuthetha,” iPelosi Trials ngo-2022 njengaphakathi, nomthetho weCawa njengekuphela). Inkqubo yovavanyo ilungiselela iintombi ezizizilumko (i-144,000) ukuba zinyamezele olona vavanyo luphakamileyo lwentshutshiso oluqala kumthetho weCawa, xa ukreqo lwesizwe lukhokelela entshabalalweni. Emva koko uSathana ukhulula izinto ezimangalisayo zobuxoki (ebanga ukuba unguThixo enemimangaliso), yaye uzuko lwasezulwini luyaxubana neentshutshiso zangaphambili eziphindaphindiweyo, luvumela abantu bakaThixo ukuba bahambe bengashukunyiswa ekukhanyeni okuvela etroneni kaThixo. Olu lungiselelo lufana neqhinga likaKristu kuYohane isithandathu (njengoko kuphawuliwe kwiThe Desire of Ages, 394), apho Wavumela uvavanyo olungqongqo ukuba lukhuphe kwangethuba abalandeli abazifunela okwabo, eqinisa abafundi bokwenyaniso ngenxa yovavanyo lwabo lokugqibela (iGetsemane, ukungcatshwa, ukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni) ngobukho baKhe. Ngokufanayo, uvavanyo lomfanekiso werhamncwa—oluquka ukubunjwa kwesimilo sangaphakathi (umfanekiso kaKristu ngokuchasene nomfanekiso werhamncwa kaSathana) nomanyano lwangaphandle lwecawa norhulumente oluguqula umgaqo wokwahlulwa kwecawa norhulumente—luhluza ubuAdventist baseLawodike. Uvavanyo luhlambulula izilumko ngokwamkelwa kwesigidimi esingatywinwanga ngendlela yomgca phezu komgca kaIsaya 28.

The unsealed light is the light of the seventh seal (Revelation 8:1–5), manifested as fire cast to earth in answer to the saints’ prayers, as typified by the tongues of fire at Pentecost’s outpouring. The unsealed light was also represented by the Millerite midnight cry (which prepared entry by faith into the Most Holy Place), and which will be fulfilled in the modern midnight cry unsealed in July 2023, within Daniel 11:40’s hidden history.

Ukukhanya okungatywinwanga kukukhanya kwetywina lesixhenxe (IsiTyhilelo 8:1–5), kubonakaliswa njengomlilo ophoselwe emhlabeni ngokuphendulwa kwemithandazo yabangcwele, njengoko kwakufuziselwa ziilwimi zomlilo ekuthululweni kwePentekoste. Ukukhanya okungatywinwanga kwakumelwe kanjalo sisikhalo saphakathi kobusuku samaMillerite (esalungiselela ukungena ngokholo kwiNgcwele yeeNgcwele), nesiza kuzalisekiswa kwisikhalo sanamhlanje saphakathi kobusuku esingatywinwanga ngoJulayi 2023, ngaphakathi kwimbali efihlakeleyo kaDaniyeli 11:40.

The message of the latter rain sprinkling since 9/11, along with the increase of knowledge on the papacy and the Sunday law, accompanied with the unsealing of the seven thunders, the hidden history of verse forty are all encompassed in the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The detailed prophetic illumination of the image-of-the-beast formation; including both the Republican and Protestant horns’ struggles, political parties, Laodicean Adventism, 144,000 emergence, Islam’s third woe, Russia, UN, papal power, and Hasmonaean parallels equips the wise to recognize and appropriate God’s leading without forgetting past guidance (Testimonies to Ministers, 31).

Umyalezo wokutshiza kwemvula yamva ukusukela nge-9/11, kunye nokwanda kolwazi ngobupopu nomthetho weCawa, kuhamba kunye nokutyhilwa kwamatywina asixhenxe, nembali efihlakeleyo yevesi yamashumi amane, konke oku kuqukiwe ekutyhilweni kweSityhilelo sikaYesu Kristu. Ukukhanyiselwa okuneenkcukacha kwesiprofeto ngokwakheka komfanekiso werhamncwa; kuquka imizabalazo yeempondo zombini, iRiphabhlikhi neProtestanti, amaqela ezopolitiko, ubuAdventist baseLawodike, ukuvela kwe-144,000, usizi lwesithathu lwamaSilamsi, iRashiya, i-UN, amandla obupopu, kunye neengqamaniso zamaHasmonean, kuxhobisa izilumko ukuba ziqonde zize zamkele ukukhokela kukaThixo zingalibali ukukhokelwa kwangaphambili (Testimonies to Ministers, 31).

By eating the “little book” (Revelation 10), internalizing the history in advance through Berean study, the one hundred and forty-four thousand gain discernment to stand securely on, “It is written,” amid Satan’s deceptions. Their preparation allows them to avoid drawing back to perdition (Hebrews 10:37–39; Habakkuk 2:4), and they are thereafter manifested as tried-and-tested overcomers who keep God’s commandments (especially the fourth) and the faith of Jesus. They are those who navigate the final crisis where the just live by faith, protected by angels, while the foolish (who reject the methodology and message) face strong delusion and are without hope. This aligns with Testimonies, volume 9’s chapter For the Coming of the King, (beginning at page 11) with its 9/11 symbolism, thus identifying the period of 9/11 to the Sunday law as the sealing time where the wise understand Daniel eleven’s completion and fear nothing except forgetting God’s leading in past sacred histories.

Ngokudla “incwadi encinane” (ISityhilelo 10), bewenza imbali ibe yeyangaphakathi kwangaphambili ngokufunda kwaseBereya, abalikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka bazuza ukuqonda ukuze beme beqinile phezu kokuthi, “Kubhaliwe kwathiwa,” phakathi kweenkohliso zikaSathana. Ukulungiselela kwabo kubenza bakwazi ukuphepha ekubuyeleni umva ekonakaleni (Hebhere 10:37–39; Habhakuki 2:4), yaye emva koko babonakaliswa njengaboyisi abavavanyiweyo nabangqinwe ngokuvavanywa abagcina imithetho kaThixo (ingakumbi owesine) nokholo lukaYesu. Bangabo abatyhubela intlekele yokugqibela apho amalungisa aphila ngokholo, ekhuselekile ziingelosi, lo gama abaziziyatha (abalahla indlela yokusebenza nesigidimi) bejamelene nokulukuhla okunamandla yaye bengenathemba. Oku kungqinelana neTestimonies, umqulu 9, isahluko esithi For the Coming of the King, (esiqala kwiphepha 11) kunye nomfuziselo waso we-9/11, ngaloo ndlela kuchongwa ixesha le-9/11 ukuya kumthetho weCawa njengexesha lokutywinwa apho izilumko ziyiqonda inzaliseko kaDaniyeli ishumi elinanye yaye azoyiki nto ngaphandle kokulibala ukukhokela kukaThixo kwiimbali ezingcwele zangaphambili.

The four articles collectively present a prophetic interpretation of Christ, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and the Alpha and the Omega who unseals portions of Daniel chapter eleven at key moments to guide the final reform movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. In 1989, 126 years after the 1863 Adventist “rebellion,” the Lion unsealed Daniel 11:40–45, revealing the papacy’s 1798 deadly wound healing at the threefold union (dragon, beast, and false prophet) of verse forty-one and leading to Armageddon, “the glorious holy mountain” where the papacy receives her final judgment in verse forty-five. The unsealing initiates the movement’s beginning, producing an “increase of knowledge” (Selected Messages, book 2) on “the papacy and Sunday law”, triggering the threefold testing of being “purified, made white, and tried” as represented in Daniel 12:10.

Amanqaku amane, xa ewonke, abonisa utoliko lwesiprofeto ngoKristu, njengeNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda, noAlfa no-Omega, ovula iinxalenye zikaDaniyeli isahluko seshumi elinanye ngamaxesha abalulekileyo ukuze akhokele intshukumo yokugqibela yohlaziyo yabaliwaka alikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine. Ngo-1989, kwiminyaka eli-126 emva “kwemvukelo” yama-Adventist ka-1863, iNgonyama yavula uDaniyeli 11:40–45, ityhila ukuphiliswa kwenxeba elibulalayo lobupopu ngo-1798 kumanyano oluphindwe kathathu (inamba, irhamncwa, nomprofeti wobuxoki) lwendinyana yamashumi amane ananye, kwaye ikhokelela eArmagedon, “intaba yobungcwele ezukileyo,” apho ubupopu bufumana khona umgwebo wabo wokugqibela kwindinyana yamashumi amane anesihlanu. Oku kuvulwa kuqalisa ukuqala kwentshukumo, kuvelisa “ukwanda kolwazi” (Selected Messages, incwadi 2) ngo“bupopu nomthetho weCawa”, kuze kubangele uvavanyo oluphindwe kathathu lokuba “bahlanjululwe, benziwe mhlophe, baze bavavanywe,” njengoko lumelwe kuDaniyeli 12:10.

We will continue these thoughts in the next article.
