5. Preparations for the End Time
Christ and the End of Days
Today we can see that nearly all of what Jesus warned about has come to pass. We can see the fulfillment of two major time prophecies, as well.
The first is the “time and times and the dividing of time” of Daniel 7:25, which began in the sixth century a.d. (a.d. 538) and ended in the late eighteenth century (a.d. 1798).
Si Cristo at ang Wakas ng mga Araw. Ngayon ay nakikita natin na halos lahat ng mga ibinabala ni Jesus ay naganap na. Nakikita rin natin ang katuparan ng dalawang pangunahing propesiya. ¶ Ang una ay ang “panahon, mga panahon at kalahati ng isang panahon” ng Daniel 7:25, na nagpasimula sa ika-6 na siglo a.d. (a.d. 538) at nagtapos sa huling bahagi ng ika-18 na siglo (a.d. 1798).

6. Then, the longest time prophecy,
Preparations for the End Time
Christ and the End of Days
Then, the longest time prophecy,
the 2,300 days of Daniel 8:14, which reached its fulfillment in the year 1844.
Surely we are now living in “the end
of the days” (Dan. 12:13). But not
only do we not know when the end—climaxing with the second coming of Jesus—will come, we don’t need
to know.
Pagkatapos, ang pinakamahabang propesiya, ang 2,300 mga araw ng Daniel 8:14, na umabot sa katuparan nito sa taong ¶ Tiyak na tayo ay nabubuhay ngayon sa “katapusan ng mga araw” (Daniel 12:13). Ngunit hindi lang na hindi natin alam kung kelan ang katapusan—na lumulundo sa ikalawang pagdating ni Jesus—ay darating, hindi natin kelangang malaman.

We need to know only that it will
come and that when it does, we
must be prepared.
How? Perhaps the best answer is found in this text:
“As you therefore have received
Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him” (Col. 2:6, NKJV).
Kelangan lang natin na malaman na ito’y darating at dapat tayong maging handa kapag ito’y nangyari. ¶ Paano? Marahil ang pinakamabuting sagot ay masusumpungan sa talatang ito: “Kung paano ninyo tinanggap si Cristo Jesus na Panginoon, ay lumakad kayo sa Kanya” (Colosas 2:6).

8. on Christ Himself, who alone is the
Preparations for the End Time
Christ and the End of Days
In other words, with so many world events, so many headlines, and so many theories about end times, it’s easy to get diverted, focusing too much on the things that we think are leading to Christ’s coming instead of
on Christ Himself, who alone is the
key to our preparation.
Sa ibang salita, dahil sa napakaraming pangyayari sa mundo, napakaraming ulo ng balita, at napakaraming teorya tungkol sa wakas ng panahon ay madaling mailihis at masyadong nakapokus sa mga bagay na iniisip nating magdadala sa pagdating ni Cristo sa halip na kay Cristo mismo, na Siya lang ang susi ng ating paghahanda.

9. Preparations for the End Time
Our Goal
The real focus on Jesus—about who He is, what He has done for us, what He does in us, and what He will do when He does return.
The more that we focus on Him, the more we become like Him, the more we obey Him, and the more prepared we will be for all that awaits us, both in the immediate future and in the end.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Ang tunay na pokus ay kay Jesus—tungkol sa kung sino Siya, anong nagawa Niya para sa atin, anong ginagawa Niya sa atin, at anong gagawin Niya kapag Siya’y bumalik na nga. ¶ Mas lalo tayong nakapokus sa Kanya, mas magiging kagaya Niya tayo, mas susunod tayo sa Kanya, at mas nahahanda tayo para sa lahat ng nalalaan sa atin, parehong sa nalalapit na kinabukasan at sa wakas.

10. The Cosmic Controversy
Preparations for the End Time
Lesson 1, April 7
The Cosmic Controversy
Ang Pangsansinukob na Tunggalian

11. The Cosmic Controversy
Key Text
Revelation 12:17, NKJV
“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Susing Talata. “Nagalit ang dragon sa babae, at umalis upang digmain ang nalabi sa binhi ng babae, ang mga tumutupad sa mga utos ng Diyos at ang mga may patotoo ni Jesus” (Apocalipsis 12:17).

12. All of us can share in that victory.
The Cosmic Controversy
Initial Words
The cosmic controversy forms the background against which the drama of our world unfolds. It began mysteriously in the heart of Lucifer, who brought his rebellion to earth through the fall of Adam and Eve.
The good news is that it will end with the total victory of Christ over Satan.
All of us can share in that victory.
Panimulang Salita. Ang pangsansinukob na tunggalian ang bumubuo sa nasa likuran kung saan ang drama ng ating daigdig ay inilaladlad. Buong hiwagang nagpasimula ito sa puso ni Lucifer, na nagdala sa kanyang rebelyon sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng pagkakasala nina Adan at Eva. ¶ Ang mabuting balita ay magwawakas ito sa lubos na tagumpay ni Cristo kay Satanas. ¶ Lahat tayo’y makakabahagi sa tagumpay na ‘yon.

The Cosmic Controversy
1. The Origin of Evil
Isaiah 14:12-14 NKJV
“How you are fallen from heaven,
Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; ...
I will be like the Most High.’ ”
1. Ang Pinagmulan ng Kasamaan. “Ano't nahulog ka mula sa langit, O Tala sa Umaga, anak ng Umaga. Paanong ikaw ay lumagpak sa lupa, ikaw na siyang nagpabagsak sa mga bansa! Sinabi mo sa iyong puso, ‘Ako'y aakyat sa langit; sa itaas ng mga bituin ng Diyos aking itatatag ang aking trono sa itaas; ... ¶ Gagawin ko ang aking sarili na gaya ng Kataas-taasan’ ” (Isaias 14:12-14).

15. The Origin of Evil
The Fall of a Perfect Being
Lucifer was a perfect being living in heaven. How could iniquity have arisen in him, especially in an environment such as that? We don’t know.
“It is mysterious, unaccountable; to excuse it is to defend it. Could excuse for it be found, or cause be shown for its existence, it would cease to be sin.”—The Great Controversy 493.
Ang Pagkakasala ng isang Sakdal na Katauhan. Si Lucifer ay isang sakdal na katauhang namumuhay sa langit. Paanong ang kasalanan ay bumangon sa kanya, lalo na sa isang kapaligiran na gaya niyon? Hindi natin alam. ¶ “Ito’y misteryoso at hindi maipaliwanag; ang ipagpaumanhin ito ay ang ipagtanggol ito. Kung makakasumpong ng katwiran para rito, o makapagpapakita ng dahilan para sa pag-iral nito, titigil itong maging kasalanan.”—The Great Controversy 493.

The Origin of Evil
The Fall of a Perfect Couple
If even in the perfect environment of Eden, knowledge itself wasn’t enough to keep Eve (and Adam, who also knew the truth) from sinning, we shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking that know-ledge alone is enough to save us now.
But along with knowing, we need the kind of surrender in which we will
obey what it tells us, as well.
Ang Pagkakasala ng isang Sakdal na Mag-asawa. Kung kahit sa isang sakdal na kapaligiran ng Eden, ang kaalaman mismo’y hindi sapat na maingatan si Eva (at si Adan, na alam din ang totoo) mula sa pagkakasala, hindi natin dapat lokohin ang sarili sa pag-iisip na ang kaalaman lang ay sapat na iligtas tayo ngayon. ¶ Subalit kasama sa kabatiran, kelangan natin ang uri ng pagsuko kung saan atin din namang susundin ang sinasabi nito.

17. The Cosmic Controversy
2. The Product of Evil
Revelation 12:7-9; 17 NKJV
“And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels...and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail.... So the great dragon was cast to the earth....
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring....”
2. Ang Produkto ng Kasamaan. “At nagkaroon ng digmaan sa langit, si Miguel at ang kanyang mga anghel...at ang dragon at ang kanyang mga anghel ay nakipagdigma, ngunit hindi sila nagwagi.... At itinapon ang malaking dragon...sa lupa.... ¶ Nagalit ang dragon sa babae, at umalis upang digmain ang nalabi sa binhi ng babae...” (Apocalipsis 12:7-9; 17).

18. eternal Creator, Jesus (Heb. 1:1, 2; John 1:1–4).
2. The Product of Evil
War in Heaven and on Earth
The first battle is between the dragon (Satan) and Michael (Hebrew meaning: “Who is like God?”) (Rev. 12:7–9).
The rebel Lucifer became known as Satan (Adversary), who is merely a created being fighting against the
eternal Creator, Jesus (Heb. 1:1, 2;
John 1:1–4).
Lucifer was rebelling against his Maker.
Gera sa Langit at sa Lupa. Ang unang labanan ay sa pagitan ng dragon (si Satanas) at si Miguel (Hebreong kahulugan: “Sino ang katulad ng Diyos?”) (Apocalipsis 12:7-9). ¶ Ang rebeldeng si Lucifer ay naging kilala bilang si Satanas (Kaaway), na isa lang na nilalang na katauhan na nilalabanan ang walang hanggang Manlalalang, si Jesus (Hebreo 1:1, 2; Juan 1:1-4). ¶ Si Lucifer ay nagrerebelde laban sa kanyang Manlalalang.

19. attacking the creation, as well.
2. The Product of Evil
War in Heaven and on Earth
The great controversy is not about dueling gods; it’s about a creature rebelling against his Creator and manifesting that rebellion by
attacking the creation, as well.
Failing in his battle against Christ in heaven, Satan sought to go after Him on earth right after His human birth (Rev. 12:4).
Ang malaking tunggalian ay hindi tungkol sa naglalabanang mga diyos; ito’y tungkol sa isang nilalang na nagrerebelde laban sa kanyang Manlalalang at ipinapakita ang rebelyong ‘yon sa pamamagitan ng pag-atake rin naman sa sangnilikha. ¶ Bigo sa kanyang pakikipaglaban kay Cristo sa langit, pinagsikapan niyang tugisin Siya sa lupa pagkatapos na pagkatapos nang pagkapanganak Niya bilang tao (Apocalipsis 12:4).

20. 2. The Product of Evil
War in Heaven and on Earth
Failing in his battle against Christ here, and then in the wilderness and later at the cross, Satan went to war against Christ’s people.
This war has raged through much of Christian history (Rev. 12:6, 14–16) and will continue until the end (Rev. 12:17), until Satan faces another defeat, this time at the second coming of Jesus.
Bigo sa kanyang pakikipaglaban kay Cristo rito, at pagkatapos sa ilang at sa bandang huli sa krus, humayo si Satanas para gerahin ang bayan ni Cristo. ¶ Ang gerang ito’y rumagasa sa kalakhan ng kasaysayang Kristiyano (Apocalipsis 12:6, 14-16) at magpapatuloy hanggang sa wakas (Apocalipsis 12:17), hanggang haharap si Satanas sa isa pang pagkatalo, ngayon ay sa ikalawang pagparito si Jesus.

21. 2. The Product of Evil
With You Always, Even Unto the End
The 1,260 prophetic days of Revelation 12:6 point to 1,260 years of persecution against the church.
“Christians were falsely accused of the most dreadful crimes and declared to be the cause of great calamities.... They were condemned as rebels against the empire, as foes of religion, and pests to society.
Laging Kasama ‘Nyo, Kahit sa Wakas. Ang 1,260 na propetikong mga araw ng Apocalipsis 12:6 ay nakaturo sa 1,260 mga taon ng pag-uusig laban sa iglesya. ¶ “Ang mga Kristiyano ay maling pinaratangan ng pinakakakila-kilabot na mga krimen at idineklarang dahilan ng malalaking kalamidad.... Hinatulan sila bilang mga rebelde laban sa imperyo, bilang mga kaaway ng relihiyon, at mga peste sa lipunan.

22. 2. The Product of Evil
With You Always, Even Unto the End
Great numbers were thrown to wild beasts or burned alive in the amphi-theaters.”—The Great Controversy 40.
“The woman [church] fled into the wilderness” (Rev. 12:6). She was taken care of in the wilderness, (Rev. 12:14).
God always has preserved a remnant even during major persecutions, and He will do so again in the end time.
Malalaking bilang ang itinapon sa mababangis na hayop o sinunog na buhay sa mga ampiteatro.”—The Great Controversy 40. ¶ “Tumakas ang babae [iglesya] sa ilang” (Apocalipsis 12:6). Inalagaan siya sa ilang, (Apocalipsis 12:14). ¶ Laging may napanatili ang Diyos na isang nalabi kahit sa panahon ng malalaking pag-uusig, at gagawin Niya itong muli sa wakas ng panahon.

23. Christ’s presence with us, whether
2. The Product of Evil
With You Always, Even Unto the End
Christ’s presence with us, whether
now or in the end times, does not mean that we are spared pain, suffering, trials, or even death.
It means that, through Jesus and what He has done for us, we can live with the hope that God is with us and that we have the promise of eternal life in the new heavens and the new earth.
Ang presensya ni Cristo sa atin, maging ngayon o sa wakas ng panahon, ay hindi nangangahulugan na tayo ay ligtas sa hapdi, pagdurusa, mga pagsubok, o kahit kamatayan. ¶ Nangangahulugan ito na, sa pamamagitan ni Jesus at ang nagawa Niya para sa atin ay makakapamuhay tayo sa pag-asang ang Diyos ay kasama natin at meron tayo ng pangako ng buhay na walang hanggan sa bagong langit at bagong lupa.

24. The Cosmic Controversy 3. The Solution to Evil
3. Ang Panlunas sa Kasamaan. Apocalipsis 12:17 “ang mga tumutupad sa mga utos ng Diyos at ang mga may patotoo ni Jesus.”

25. 3. The Solution to Evil
The Law and the Gospel
As Seventh-day Adventists, we carry in our name so much of what we stand for. The Seventh-day part represents the seventh-day Sabbath. The Adventist part points to our belief in the second advent of Jesus.
Hence, our name points to two crucial and inseparable components of present truth: the law and the gospel.
Ang Kautusan at ang Ebanghelyo. Bilang mga Seventh-day Adventist, dala natin sa ating pangalan ang napakarami sa ating pinaninindigan. Ang bahaging Seventh-day ay kumakatawan sa ika-7 na araw ng Sabbath. Ang bahaging Adventist ay tumuturo sa ating paniniwala sa ikalawang pagdating ni Jesus. ¶ Kaya, ang ating pangalan ay tumuturo sa dalawang kritikal at di-mapaghihiwalay na bahagi ng katotohanan sa kasalukuyan: ang kautusan at ang ebanghelyo.

26. God’s people are depicted in a very specific manner.
3. The Solution to Evil
The Law and the Gospel
The gospel is good news that though
we have sinned in that we have broken God’s law, through faith in what Christ did for us at the cross we can be for-given for our transgression of His law. Also, we have been given the power to obey that law, fully and completely.
God’s people are depicted in a very specific manner.
Ang ebanghelyo ay mabuting balita na bagaman tayo’y nagkasala dahil sa nilabag natin ang kautusan ng Diyos, sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya sa ginawa ni Cristo sa krus para sa atin ay mapapatawad tayo sa ating paglabag ng Kanyang utos. At saka, binigyan din tayo ng kapangyarihang sundin ang utos na ‘yon, lahat-lahat at lubusan. ¶ Ang bayan ng Diyos ay inilarawan sa isang talagang tiyak na paraan.

27. to mar the celestial harmonies.”
Final Words
Patriarchs and Prophets 35.
“So long as all created beings acknow-ledged the allegiance of love, there was perfect harmony throughout the universe of God. It was the joy of the heavenly host to fulfill the purpose of their Creator. ...
And while love to God was supreme, love for one another was confiding and unselfish. There was no note of discord
to mar the celestial harmonies.”
Patriarchs and Prophets 35. “Hanggang ang lahat ng nilalang ay kinikilala ang katapatan ng pag-ibig ay merong sakdal na pagkaka-isa sa buong sansinukob ng Diyos. Kagalakan ng mga hukbo ng langit na tuparin ang layunin ng kanilang Manlalalang. ... ¶ At samantalang ang pag-ibig sa Diyos ay sukdulan, ang pag-ibig sa bawa’t isa ay mapagkakatiwalaan at di-makasarili. Walang himig ng di-pagkakasundo para sirain ang makalangit na pagkakaisa.”
