Sister White addresses several times that the passage in Isaiah which Jesus read in the synagogue at Nazareth, not only announced His work, but typified our work. The perfect fulfillment of that anointed work is accomplished by those who make up the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

> The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. Isaiah 61:1–7.

In the previous article we began to identify the “hour, month, day and year” that made up the time prophecy of three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days. Time is no longer, so the four expressions of time must be applied symbolically in the latter days, when the prophetic characteristics of the first and second woes are repeated in the third woe. The “year” is “the acceptable year of the Lord,” and it is also “the day of vengeance of our God.”

Nínú àpilẹ̀kọ tí ó ṣáájú, a bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í dá “wákàtí, oṣù, ọjọ́ àti ọdún” mọ̀ tí wọ́n para pọ̀ ṣe àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ àkókò ti ọdún ẹgbẹ̀ta ó lé mọ́kàndínlọ́gọ́rin àti ọjọ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún.

The “day,” is “the day of calamity,” a day of recompense, and vengeance, as set forth by Moses.

“Ọjọ́” náà ni “ọjọ́ ìpọnjú,” ọjọ́ èrèpadà, àti ìgbẹ̀san, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mósè ti sọ ọ́ kalẹ̀.

> To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. Deuteronomy 32:35.

> Tèmi ni ìgbẹ̀san, àti ẹ̀san; ẹsẹ̀ wọn yóò yọ̀ ní àkókò tí a yàn: nítorí ọjọ́ ìparun wọn ti súnmọ́, àwọn ohun tí yóò sì tọ̀ wọ́n wá ń yára dé. Deuteronomy 32:35.

In Isaiah it is the “acceptable year” and the “day of vengeance,” and the day of vengeance is Moses’ “day of calamity” where Laodicea’s foot slides as they receive recompense and vengeance. The hour of the great earthquake, the day of calamity, the acceptable year and the first month all align with the Sunday law. The word “month” in Joel is an added word, but the added word is correct. The translators added the word “month” in agreement with the truth that the latter rain came in the first month.

Nínú Isaiah, ó jẹ́ “ọdún ìtẹ́wọ́gbà” àti “ọjọ́ ìgbẹ̀san,” àti ọjọ́ ìgbẹ̀san náà ni “ọjọ́ ìpọnjú” ti Mósè, níbi tí ẹsẹ̀ Laodicea ti yóò yọ̀, bí wọ́n ṣe ń gba èsan àti ìgbẹ̀san.

> Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. Joel 2:23.

> Nítorí náà, ẹ máa yọ̀, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Sioni, kí ẹ sì máa yọ̀ nínú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín: nítorí ó ti fi òjò àkọ́kọ́ fún yín níwọ̀ntúnwọ̀nsì, yóò sì mú kí òjò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá fún yín, àní òjò àkọ́kọ́, àti òjò ìkẹ́yìn ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní. Joẹli 2:23.

The word “month” is an interpretation, not part of the original inspired text. The Hebrew simply says the rains will come “in the first” or “as at the first”—meaning God will restore the rains in their proper season, just like in former times. Sister White repeatedly aligns the Millerite movement of 1840 to 1844 with Pentecost to describe the latter rain in the latter days. The latter rain comes “as at the first,” which was Pentecost, which Sister White repeatedly aligns with the Sunday law.

Ọ̀rọ̀ náà “month” jẹ́ ìtumọ̀ àlàyé, kì í ṣe apá kan nínú ọ̀rọ̀ ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí a mí sí.

> “The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel’s message is to lighten the whole earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.

> “The work will be similar to that of the Day of Pentecost. As the ‘former rain’ was given, in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the opening of the gospel, to cause the upspringing of the precious seed, so the ‘latter rain’ will be given at its close for the ripening of the harvest. ‘Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.’ Hosea 6:3. ‘Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain.’ Joel 2:23. ‘In the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh.’ ‘And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ Acts 2:17, 21.

> “Iṣẹ́ náà yóò dàbí èyí tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ ní Ọjọ́ Pẹ́ńtẹ́kọ́sítì.

> “The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening. The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring of the former rain at the opening of the gospel are again to be fulfilled in the latter rain at its close. Here are ‘the times of refreshing’ to which the apostle Peter looked forward when he said: ‘Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus.’ Acts 3:19, 20.” The Great Controversy, 611.

> “Iṣẹ́ ńlá ìhìnrere kì yóò parí pẹ̀lú ìfihàn agbára Ọlọ́run tí ó kéré ju èyí tí ó sàmì sí ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ rẹ̀ lọ.

Pentecost was the "opening" or the "beginning" of the gospel work and the latter rain at the "close" is the "ending." The first represents the last. The first month is identifying the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the Sunday law.

Then the latter rain will fall upon us as the early rain fell upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. …

> “What are you doing, brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing for the seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity.” Testimonies, volume 5, 214, 216.

> “Kí ni ẹ̀yin, ará, ń ṣe nínú iṣẹ́ ńlá ìmúrasílẹ̀? Àwọn tí ń darapọ̀ mọ́ ayé ń gba àwòrán ayé, wọ́n sì ń múra sílẹ̀ fún àmì ẹranko náà.

The first “month” is the Sunday law, the “hour” of the great earthquake is the Sunday law, the “day” of calamity, recompense and vengeance is the Sunday law and the acceptable “year” is the Sunday law. The one hundred and fifty years of the prophecy of the first woe concludes at the Sunday law, where the three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days begins.

> Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. Revelation 9:14, 15.

The “four angels” that were “bound in the great river Euphrates” are “loosed” at the hour of the Sunday law. They have been prophetically “prepared” for the hour, day, month and year of the second woe to slay the third part of men. The United States is slain as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy at the Sunday law, and the United States is one third of the three fold union that is established at the Sunday law. The second woe is repeated in the third woe, just as the second angel is repeated in the third angel.

Those four winds were released at 9/11, marking the beginning of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and immediately thereafter restrained. When those represented in Isaiah sixty-one who mourn are comforted, they are comforted with the full out pouring of the Comforter at the Sunday law, which is also the “hour” of the great earthquake. Those who mourn in the acceptable year, are the very same who are mourning in Ezekiel nine who receive the seal of God. Jesus began His ministry by citing Isaiah sixty-one, and Sister White aligns His pronouncement with our work.

> “Christ announced his mission to the world when, in the synagogue at Nazareth, he read from the prophecy of Isaiah: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.’ What a work was before him!—To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. This period embraces age after age, extends from century to century, while probation shall last. God is waiting to hear the asking and knocking; watching to see humanity draw nigh unto him, who alone can help us. He longs to forgive their sins, to receive them as his own. He will receive every contrite soul who comes to him; for it was to do this work that God anointed his only-begotten Son.

> “But why did not Christ finish the statement recorded in Isaiah? Why did he omit the clause, ‘and the day of vengeance of our God’? The latter portion of this sentence was just as much truth as the first part; and Christ did not deny the truth by his silence, by withholding a portion of his own words given to his chosen prophet. But this last clause was that upon which his hearers delighted to dwell, and which they were inclined to practice, pronouncing judgment upon all who were not of their religious faith. Instead of giving to the people words of truth and righteousness and forgiveness, they had taught them that God hated all the heathen world. The paternal character of God had been misrepresented, and buried beneath human traditions. Signs of the Times, January 14, 1897.

> “The mission of the people of God in this age is outlined in the words of inspiration that describe the work of the Messiah: ‘The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn, to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.’

> “‘And they shall build up the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.’” Lake Union Herald, November 11, 1908.

> “‘Wọn yóò tún àwọn ibi ahoro àtijọ́ kọ́, wọn yóò gbé àwọn ahoro ìgbàanì dìde, wọn yóò sì ṣe àwọn ìlú ahoro náà ní àtúnṣe, àwọn ahoro ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìran.’” Lake Union Herald, November 11, 1908.

Before we proceed further into the repetition of the second woe in the third woe, we should remind ourselves that the message is to be understood by bringing “line upon line.” This identifies that every “hour,” “day,” “month” and “year” in the inspired word that fits the context of the Sunday law is also to be applied to the preparation of Islam striking at the Sunday law.

As an example: the word “hour” is only found in one book of the Old Testament, and that book is the book of Daniel. In Daniel “hour” is mentioned five times.

> And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. … Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Daniel 3:6, 15.

Danieli 3:6, 15.

Sister White repeatedly applies Daniel three, and therefore “the same hour” to the Sunday law. In Daniel chapter four, Daniel is perplexed for “one hour” as he struggles to explain the coming judgment upon Nebuchadnezzar.

Arábìnrin White léraléra ń fi Dáníẹ́lì orí kẹta hàn sí òfin Ọjọ́ Àìkú, nítorí náà “wákàtí kan náà” pẹ̀lú. Nínú Dáníẹ́lì orí kẹrin, ìdààmú bá Dáníẹ́lì fún “wákàtí kan” bí ó ṣe ń sapá láti ṣàlàyé ìdájọ́ tí ń bọ̀ sórí Nebukadinésárì.

> Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. Daniel 4:19.

> Nígbà náà ni Daniẹli, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Belteshatsari, yà á lẹ́nu fún wákàtí kan, èrò inú rẹ̀ sì dà á láàmú.

Daniel is astonished for “one hour” as he seeks to understand how to inform Nebuchadnezzar of his coming judgment. Daniel is representing the messenger of the first angel who announces the “hour” of judgment has come. His prediction is given to Nebuchadnezzar, and a year later the judgment upon Babylon is brought upon Nebuchadnezzar.

Ẹnu yà Dáníẹ́lì fún “wákàtí kan” bí ó ti ń wá òye bí yóò ṣe sọ fún Nebukadinésárì nípa ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ tí ń bọ̀. Dáníẹ́lì ń ṣojú fún ońṣẹ́ áńgẹ́lì kìn-ín-ní, ẹni tí ń kéde pé “wákàtí” ìdájọ́ ti dé.

> The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. Daniel 4:33.

> Ní wákàtí kan náà ni ohun náà ṣẹ lórí Nebukadinésárì; a sì lé e kúrò láàrín ènìyàn, ó sì jẹ koríko bí àwọn màlúù, ara rẹ̀ sì tutu pẹ̀lú ìrì ọ̀run, títí irun rẹ̀ fi dàgbà bí ìyẹ́ idì, ìwọ̀n ara rẹ̀ sì dàbí ìkà ẹyẹ. Dánìẹ́lì 4:33.

Daniel is predicting the soon-coming Sunday law, and when it arrives it is the “hour” of judgment upon Babylon. Both “hours” are identifying the Sunday law, which is the hour of the great earthquake. Nebuchadnezzar is the alpha and Belshazzar is the omega of the story of Babylon, and Belshazzar is slain in the very night that the hand writing came upon the wall.

Dáníẹ́lì ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa òfin Ọjọ́-ìsinmi tó ń bọ̀ láìpẹ́, àti nígbà tí ó bá dé, ó jẹ́ “wákàtí” ìdájọ́ lórí Bábílónì.

> In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Daniel 5:5.

> Ní wákàtí kan náà ni àwọn ìka ọwọ́ ènìyàn kan yọ̀, wọ́n sì kọ sí iwájú ọ̀pá fìtílà lórí ojú pilasita ògiri ààfin ọba náà; ọba náà sì rí apá ọwọ́ tí ń kọ̀wé náà. Danieli 5:5.

The “same hour” the writing came upon the wall identifies when the written Sunday law destroys the “wall” of separation of church and state at the Sunday law, and then Babylon ended as does the United States as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. As the sixth kingdom the United States is the power who reigns for seventy symbolic years in Isaiah twenty-three when the whore of Tyre is forgotten. The kingdom or king that Isaiah refers to are the days of seventy years and the kingdom that reigned for seventy years in Bible prophecy was Babylon. The fall of Belshazzar’s Babylon typifies the fall of the United States, at the Sunday law, where the handwriting upon the wall aligns with the speaking as a dragon of Revelation thirteen.

In Revelation eighteen the judgment upon Babylon begins at the Sunday law in verse four when the second voice identifies that her judgment comes in one hour and also in one day.

Nínú Ìfihàn orí kejìdínlógún, ìdájọ́ lórí Bábílónì bẹ̀rẹ̀ ní òfin Ọjọ́ Àìkú ní ẹsẹ̀ kẹrin, nígbà tí ohùn kejì fi hàn pé ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ dé ní wákàtí kan, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni ní ọjọ́ kan pẹ̀lú.

> And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. Revelation 18:4–10.

> Mo sì gbọ́ ohùn mìíràn láti ọ̀run wá, tí ó ń wí pé, Ẹ jáde kúrò nínú rẹ̀, èyí ni, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, kí ẹ má bàa ní ipa nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, àti kí ẹ má bàa gba nínú àjàkálẹ̀-àrùn rẹ̀.

Ìfihàn 18:4–10.

Clearly the progressive judgment upon Babylon begins at the Sunday law of verse four when God’s other flock is called out of Babylon. John identifies the time of her judgment as both a “day” and “hour,” confirming that the symbols of time are to be understood symbolically.

Ó ṣe kedere pé ìdájọ́ tí ń tẹ̀ síwájú lórí Bábílónì bẹ̀rẹ̀ ní òfin Ọjọ́-ìsinmi ti ẹsẹ̀ kẹrin nígbà tí a pe agbo mìíràn ti Ọlọ́run jáde kúrò ní Bábílónì. Jòhánù fi “ọjọ́ kan” àti “wákàtí kan” tọ́ka sí àkókò ìdájọ́ rẹ̀, èyí sì ń fìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ pé a gbọ́dọ̀ lóye àwọn ààmì àkókò náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àpẹẹrẹ.

Passover was to be kept in the first month, and Passover aligns with the cross, which in turn aligns with the Sunday law.

A ní láti pa Ìrékọjá mọ́ ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní, àti pé Ìrékọjá bá àgbélébùú mu, èyí sì tún bá òfin ọjọ́ Àìkú mu.

> And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. Exodus 12:1–6.

Eksodu 12:1–6.

Passover was the beginning of the Pentecostal season, and it therefore typifies Pentecost, which in turn aligns with the Sunday law. The tabernacle was reared up on the first day of the first month, thus typifying the raising up of the church triumphant as an ensign at the Sunday law. The “hour,” “day,” “month” and “year” of the second woe is identifying the Sunday law, and line upon line each of those expressions of time align with the Sunday law when the context agrees. At the Sunday law, the second period of papal persecution begins, the first being the 1,260 years that brought about the martyrs of that period crying to the Lord in the fifth seal with the question of “how long,” until the papal power would be judged. In the second papal blood bath Jesus has informed His people that they need not worry about what they will say when persecuted.

In the first woe men were tormented for one hundred and fifty years. Those years began on July 27, 1299 and ended on July 27, 1449 when the four angels released the four winds that had been prepared for the hour, day, month, and year, for to slay a third part of men. The period of torment represents the period of the setting up of the image of the beast in the United States. That period is the fifteen days represented in Leviticus twenty-three from the feast of trumpets to Pentecost. The period of the formation of the image of the beast is from 9/11 unto the Sunday law, but the period of the proclamation of the message of the midnight cry is a fractal of the image of the beast formation from 9/11 unto the Sunday law.

The beginning and ending of the sealing are also the alpha and omega of the image of the beast formation. One class is forming a character for the seal of God; the other is forming an image of the beast. That period in the United States aligns with the same period in the world that begins at the Sunday law. The “month” is a symbol of the torment that forces the setting up of the image, so the month at the Sunday law as represented by verse fifteen in Revelation nine also represents the Islamic torment during the setting up of the image of the beast in the world.

Ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ àti òpin ìdìdì náà pẹ̀lú ni alfa àti omega ìṣèdá àwòrán ẹranko náà. Ẹgbẹ́ kan ń ṣe àkópọ̀ ìwà fún èdìdì Ọlọ́run; ẹlòmíràn sì ń ṣe àwòrán ẹranko náà.

There are other prophetic applications of how the prophecy of the second woe, and its hour, day, month and year represent the Sunday law and the release of Islam to strike the United States, but we must proceed on to other points.

In the recent period of time, over the last six months or so I have been emphasizing that Islam of the three woes is prophetically connected with the three angels. From Jacob’s latter day prediction of Judah being the “vine” that is attached to the “ass,” to Christ releasing the ass in advance of His triumphal entry and other lines of Islam of the first and second woe represents the prophetic message that empowered the first and second angel’s messages, and Islam of the third woe represents the prophetic message of the third angel.

Recently a chapter from a book written by A. T. Jones was referenced and it identifies the same fact, but from a different approach. Jones uses the grammar and the structure of Revelation to show how it is impossible to separate the last three woe trumpets from the three angels’ messages. He is emphasizing that the first angel cannot be separated from the second, and that the third cannot be separated from the previous two. Jones’ focus is on the three angels and while he makes his case about the inseparable relationship of the three angels, he proves by the very same logic that neither can the trumpets of Revelation nine be separated from the three angels of Revelation fourteen. We will close this article with Jones’ chapter.

## CHAPTER XI. THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE

ORÍ KẸRÍNLÁ. ÌRÒYÌN ÁŃGẸLÌ KẸTA

> “THE answer to that important question for today, ‘What shall we do?’ can be given with certainty upon the basis of the Seven Trumpets and the place of the great nations of today; because the answer is given by the word of God, upon this very basis.

> “ÌDÁHÙN sí ìbéèrè pàtàkì yẹn fún òní, pé, ‘Kí ni a óò ṣe?’ ni a lè fi ìdánilójú pèsè lórí ìpìlẹ̀ Àwọn Ipè Méje àti ipò àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá òde òní; nítorí Ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni ó fi ìdáhùn náà hàn, lórí ìpìlẹ̀ yìí gan-an.

> “We have seen that inseparably connected with the last three of the Seven Trumpets, are the Three Woes. In the very midst of the Seven Trumpets—after the ending of the Fourth Trumpet, and before the beginning of the Fifth Trumpet—it is written: ‘And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are yet to sound.’ Revelation 8:13.

> “A ti rí i pé, ní ìbámu tí a kò lè yà kúrò, Mẹ́ta Ikẹ́yìn nínú Àwọn Kàkàkíje Méje ni Àwọn Ègbé Mẹ́ta wà pẹ̀lú wọn. Ní àárín gbùngbùn Àwọn Kàkàkíje Méje náà gan-an—lẹ́yìn ìparí Kàkàkíjẹ Kẹrin, àti kí Kàkàkíjẹ Karùn-ún tó bẹ̀rẹ̀—ni a ti kọ ọ́ pé: ‘Mo sì wò ó, mo sì gbọ́ angẹli kan tí ń fò láàrín ọ̀run, tí ń fi ohùn ńlá wí pé, Ègbé, ègbé, ègbé ni fún àwọn olùgbé ayé, nítorí àwọn ohùn kàkàkíjẹ mìíràn ti àwọn angẹli mẹ́ta tí kò tíì fọn.’ Ìfihàn 8:13.

> “That the Three Woes are inseparably connected with the last three of the Seven Trumpets, one with each, is put beyond all question by the fact that, when the Fifth Angel’s sounding is ended, it is written: ‘One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.’ Revelation 9:12. And when the Sixth trumpet is ended, it is written: ‘The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded.’ Revelation 11:15.

> “Pé Ìyà mẹ́ta náà ní ìsopọ̀ tí a kò lè yà pẹ̀lú mẹ́ta ìkẹyìn nínú Ìpè Méje náà, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan sì bá ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan mu, ni a fi mú jáde kúrò nínú gbogbo iyèméjì nípasẹ̀ òtítọ́ pé, nígbà tí ìfọn Angeli Karùn-ún parí, a kọ ọ́ pé: ‘Ìyà kan ti kọjá; sì kíyèsí i, ìyà méjì mìíràn ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn èyí.’ Ìfihàn 9:12. Àti nígbà tí ìpè kẹfà parí, a kọ ọ́ pé: ‘Ìyà kejì ti kọjá; sì kíyèsí i, ìyà kẹta ń bọ̀ kíákíá. Angeli keje sì fọn.’ Ìfihàn 11:15.

> “Now, inseparably connected with this angel which proclaims the coming of the Three Woes, which are inseparably connected with the last three of the Seven Trumpets, is the ‘Third Angel’ of Revelation 14.

> “Nísinsìnyí, angẹli yìí tí ń kéde ìbọ̀wọ̀lé àwọn Ègbé Mẹ́ta, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́ aláìyàtọ̀ kúrò nínú mẹ́ta ìkẹyìn nínú Àwọn Kàkàkí Méje, ní ìsopọ̀ tí a kò lè yà kúrò pẹ̀lú ‘Angẹli Kẹta’ ti Ìfihàn 14.

> “That this may be seen as also certain beyond all question, let us begin with the Third Angel’s Message of Revelation 14, and trace backward its direct connections to their beginning.

> “Kí a lè rí i pé èyí náà dájú pátápátá láìsí iyèméjì kankan, ẹ jẹ́ kí a bẹ̀rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Ìhìnrere Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta ti Ìfihàn 14, kí a sì tọpasẹ̀ àwọn ìsopọ̀ tààrà rẹ̀ sẹ́yìn títí dé ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ wọn.

> “The first words in the record concerning ‘the Third Angel’ are: ‘And the third angel followed them.’ Revelation 14:9. This shows that some have gone before, whom the Third Angel ‘followed.’

> “Àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ àkọ́kọ́ nínú àkọsílẹ̀ nípa ‘Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta’ ni wọ̀nyí pé: ‘Áńgẹ́lì kẹta sì tọ̀ wọ́n lẹ́yìn.’ Ìṣípayá 14:9. Èyí fi hàn pé àwọn kan ti ṣáájú, tí Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta náà ‘tọ̀ lẹ́yìn.’”

> “Take, then, the preceding verse: ‘And there followed another angel.’ This shows that an angel has also preceded this one, which, when this one follows, makes it ‘another.’

> “Nítorí náà, gba ẹsẹ tó ṣáájú yìí: ‘Àngẹli mìíràn sì tẹ̀lé e.’ Èyí fi hàn pé àngẹli kan tún ti ṣáájú ẹni yìí, èyí tí, nígbà tí ẹni yìí bá tẹ̀lé e, ń mú un di ‘òmíràn.’”

> “Go back now to the sixth verse: ‘And I saw another angel.’ This also certifies that an angel has gone before, which causes this one, as he flies in the midst of heaven, to be ‘another.’

> “Padà lọ báyìí sí ẹsẹ̀ kẹfà: ‘Mo sì rí angẹli mìíràn.’ Èyí pẹ̀lú jẹ́rìí pé angẹli kan ti ṣáájú lọ, èyí tí ó mú kí èyí, bí ó ti ń fò ní àárín ọ̀run, jẹ́ ‘mìíràn.’”

> “Following back further in the book of Revelation, we find no angel, except the Seventh Trumpet angel, until we come to the first verse of chapter ten; and there we read: ‘And I saw another mighty angel.’ This expression, as before, certifies that, before this one, there is an angel, which, when this one comes forth, causes him to be spoken of as ‘another.’

> “Ní títẹ̀síwájú sẹ́yìn nínú ìwé Ìfihàn, a kò rí áńgẹ́lì kankan, àfi áńgẹ́lì Kàkàkí Keje, títí a fi dé ẹsẹ̀ kìn-ín-ní orí kẹwàá; níbẹ̀ ni a sì ka pé: ‘Mo sì rí áńgẹ́lì alágbára mìíràn.’ Ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti tẹ́lẹ̀, fi ìdánilójú múlẹ̀ pé, ṣáájú ẹni yìí, áńgẹ́lì kan wà, èyí tí, nígbà tí ẹni yìí bá jáde wá, ó mú kí a sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ‘mìíràn.’”

> “Following yet further back, we find no angels, except the Sixth and the Fifth Trumpet angels, until we reach the last verse of chapter eight; and there we reach the primal, for we read: ‘And I beheld, and heard an angel’—not ‘another angel,’ but, primarily, ‘an angel.’

> “Ní ìtọ́pasẹ̀ sẹ́yìn síi, a kò rí àwọn áńgẹ́lì kankan, àfi áńgẹ́lì Ìpè Kàkàkí Kẹfà àti ti Karùn-ún, títí a fi dé ẹsẹ̀ ìkẹyìn orí kẹjọ; níbẹ̀ ni a sì dé ibi àkọ́kọ́, nítorí a ka pé: ‘Mo sì rí, mo sì gbọ́ áńgẹ́lì kan’—kì í ṣe ‘áńgẹ́lì mìíràn,’ ṣùgbọ́n, ní ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ‘áńgẹ́lì kan.’”

> “Thus, beginning with Revelation 8:13, there is an unbroken series of angels connected by the word ‘another,’ straight through to the Third Angel of Revelation 14, with his message. Thus:

> “Nítorí náà, láti inú Ìṣípayá 8:13 ni, àtẹ̀lé àwọn áńgẹ́lì tí kò ní ìdákẹ́jẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀, tí ọ̀rọ̀ náà ‘òmíràn’ so pọ̀, títí dé Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta ti Ìṣípayá 14, pẹ̀lú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀. Báyìí ni:

> “‘I beheld, and heard an angel." Revelation 8:13.

> “‘Mo sì wò, mo sì gbọ́ angẹli kan.” Ifihan 8:13.

> “‘And I saw another mighty angel.’ Revelation 10:1.

> “‘Mo sì rí áńgẹ́lì alágbára mìíràn.’ Ìṣípayá 10:1.

> “‘And I saw another angel.’ Revelation 14:6.

> “‘Mo sì rí áńgẹ́lì mìíràn.’ Ìfihàn 14:6.

> “‘And there followed another angel.’ Verse 8.

> “‘Angẹli mìíràn sì tẹ̀lé e.’ Ẹsẹ̀ 8.

> “‘And the third angel followed them.’ Verse 9.

> “‘Angẹli kẹta sì tẹ̀lé wọn.’ Ẹsẹ̀ 9.

> “Perhaps the following simple diagram will aid in making plain the connection between the angel that announces the Three Woes of the last three of the Seven Trumpets, and the Third Angel’s Message of Revelation 14:

> “Bóyá àwòrán rọrùn tó wà ní isàlẹ̀ yóò ràn wá lọ́wọ́ láti mú ìbáṣepọ̀ tó wà láàárín áńgẹ́lì tí ń kéde Àwọn Ègbé Mẹ́ta ti mẹ́ta ìkẹyìn nínú Ìpè Méje náà, àti Ìhìn-iṣẹ́ Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta ti Ìfihàn 14, hàn kedere:

> “‘The third angel followed them.’ Revelation 14:9.

> “ ‘Angẹli kẹta sì tẹ̀lé wọn.’ Ifihàn 14:9. ”

> “The bearing of all this may now be more fully seen through a consideration of what the Third Angel’s Message really is in itself: On its face the expression ‘the Third Angel,’ clearly has reference to the third in a series of three angels. As already signified, this series of three angels, each one bearing a message, is found in the fourteenth chapter of Revelation, verses 6–12. The messages of these three angels blend and culminate in the third, which does not cease to sound until the harvest of the earth is ripe, and made ready for the coming of the Lord to reap it.

> “A lè rí ìtẹ́síwájú gbogbo èyí ní kíkún jùlọ báyìí nípasẹ̀ ìfọ̀rọ̀wánilẹ́nuwò ohun tí Ìhìn Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta jẹ́ ní tòótọ́ nínú ara rẹ̀: Ní ojú rẹ̀ gan-an, ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ‘Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta,’ fi hàn gbangba pé ó ń tọ́ka sí ẹ̀kẹta nínú àtẹ̀sẹ̀ àwọn áńgẹ́lì mẹ́ta.

> “The Third Angel's Message itself, as it is announced in the words of the Third Angel, is as follows: ‘And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.’

> “Ifiranṣẹ́ Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta fúnra rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kede rẹ̀ nínú ọ̀rọ̀ Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta, jẹ́ báyìí: ‘Áńgẹ́lì kẹta sì tẹ̀lé wọn, ó ń fi ohùn ńlá wí pé, Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá foríbalẹ̀ fún ẹranko náà àti ère rẹ̀, tí ó sì gba ààmì rẹ̀ ní iwájú orí rẹ̀, tàbí ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ẹni náà pẹ̀lú yóò mu nínú wáìnì ìbínú Ọlọ́run, tí a tú jáde láìpòpọ̀ sínú ago ìrunú rẹ̀; a ó sì fi iná àti imí-ọjọ joró rẹ̀ níwájú àwọn áńgẹ́lì mímọ́, àti níwájú Ọ̀dọ́-Àgùntàn: èéfín ìjìyà wọn sì ń gòkè lọ títí láé àti láéláé: wọn kò sì ní ìsinmi lọ́sàn-án tàbí lóru, àwọn tí ń foríbalẹ̀ fún ẹranko náà àti ère rẹ̀, àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gba ààmì orúkọ rẹ̀.

> “This is the Third Angel’s Message as it stands, separated from the other two. But, in fact, it can not be regarded as separate; and cannot be made to stand apart as if it alone were a single, separate message to the world; for the very first words concerning it are: ‘The Third Angel followed THEM.’ Thus, by the very first words of the message itself we are referred not only to the one, but to the two, which preceded it. And the Greek word translated ‘followed’ signifies not following apart, nor only following, but ‘following with,’ as soldiers follow their captain, or servants their master; therefore, ‘to follow one in a thing; to let one’s self be led.’ When spoken of things, it signifies to follow as a result; to follow ‘as a consequence of something which had gone before.’ Thus, as to persons, the Third Angel follows with the two which have preceded; and his message, as a thing, follows as a result, or consequence, of the which have gone before.

> “Èyí ni Ìhìnrere Áńgẹ́lì Kẹta gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti dúró, tí a yà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn méjèèjì yòókù.

> “But of the Second one also it is written: ‘And there followed another angel.’ As with the Third Angel following the Second, so it is with the Second Angel following the First. And of the First one it is written: ‘And I saw another angel fly,’ etc. This is the first in this series of three. There follows with him another; and the Third Angel follows with them. There is a succession in the order of their rise; but, when the three have in succession risen, then they go on together as one. The First one sounds forth his message; the Second one follows and joins with the First; the Third follows them, and joins with them; so that, when the three are joined, and go on together in their united power, they form a mighty, threefold, loud-voiced message. It takes all to make the Third Angel's Message complete; and the Third Angel’s Message cannot be truly given without the giving of all.

> “And here is the Third: ‘And the Third Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the Beast and his Image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.’

> “A glance at the wording of each of these messages will discover that thought in the Greek word ‘followed,’ which signifies ‘following as a consequence.’ The First bears the everlasting gospel, to preach to every creature, calling upon all to fear God and give glory to Him, and to worship Him; because the hour of His judgment is come. the rejection of this message produces a condition of things which, as the consequence of such rejection, is described in the words of the Second Angel, which follows. And because of the rejection of the First Message; and because of the consequences of that rejection, as announced in the Second; a condition of things is produced, as a further consequence, which requires that the Third Angel shall follow them, proclaiming with a loud voice his dreadful warning against the terrible evils that have been produced as the double consequence of the rejection of the First Message.

> “And that the voice and work of the Third Angel blend with that of the First, is plain from his closing words: ‘Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus;’ because this is ever the object of the preaching of the everlasting gospel. It is the substance of fearing God and giving glory to him, and of worshiping ‘him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.’ The keeping of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus is the only thing that will enable any soul to stand in the hour of his judgment, which the first angel declares ‘is come.’

> “Immediately following the closing words of the Third Angel is ‘heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth’—from this time forward. Revelation 14:13. And immediately following this are the words, ‘And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.’ Revelation 14:14–16. And ‘the harvest is the end of the world.’ Matthew 13:39.

> “Again: the Third Angel particularly warns all people against the worship of the beast and his image, whatever these may be; and, from Revelation 19:11–21, we find that the beast and his image are ‘alive’ when the Lord comes in the clouds of heaven, and are ‘both’ destroyed with the brightness of his coming.

> “These facts show that the Third Angel’s Message is a mighty, threefold, loud-voiced message, which goes forth to every nation and kindred and tongue and people, just before the second coming of the Lord; and which ripens the harvest of the earth, and makes ready a people prepared for the Lord, just as the message of John the Baptist prepared the way for the first coming of the Lord. And so it is the last, the closing, message of God to the world.
