The prophetic characteristic of the dragon is confederation, as identified by Isaiah.

Boprofeta ya dragone ezali bokangami ya lisanga, ndenge Yisaya amonisaki.

Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:9–16.

In the last days, in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, when Isaiah says, “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples,” there is an “evil confederacy” on planet earth. It is important to understand that the history of the United States leading to the Sunday law is prefiguring the same events on the global level.

Dans les derniers jours, au temps du scellement des cent quarante-quatre mille, lorsque Ésaïe dit : « Enferme ce témoignage, scelle cette loi parmi mes disciples », il existe sur la planète Terre une « mauvaise confédération ». Il importe de comprendre que l’histoire des États-Unis, conduisant à la loi du dimanche, préfigure les mêmes événements à l’échelle mondiale.

“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

« Les nations étrangères suivront l’exemple des États-Unis. Bien qu’ils ouvrent la voie, la même crise surviendra néanmoins pour notre peuple dans toutes les parties du monde. » Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

Sister White carefully identifies who the “evil confederacy” is, and it represents the progressive liberalism of the modern globalists. As she does so, she repeatedly quotes the previous verses in Isaiah, which identify an evil confederacy during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Сестра Уайт тщательно определяет, кто составляет «злой союз», и он представляет прогрессивный либерализм современных глобалистов. Делая это, она неоднократно цитирует предыдущие стихи книги Исаии, которые указывают на злой союз во время запечатления ста сорока четырёх тысяч.

“The Lord declares through the prophet Isaiah: Isaiah 8:9–13 quoted.

“Seigneur déclare par le prophète Ésaïe : Ésaïe 8:9–13 cité.”

“There are those who question whether it is right for Christians to belong to the Free Masons and other secret societies. Let all such consider the scriptures just quoted. If we are Christians at all, we must be Christians everywhere, and must consider and heed the counsel given to make us Christians according to the standard of God’s Word.” Evangelism, 617, 618.

“Es gibt solche, die in Frage stellen, ob es für Christen recht ist, den Freimaurern und anderen Geheimgesellschaften anzugehören. Alle, die so denken, mögen die eben angeführten Schriftstellen bedenken. Wenn wir überhaupt Christen sind, dann müssen wir überall Christen sein und den Rat beachten und befolgen, der uns gegeben ist, damit wir nach dem Maßstab des Wortes Gottes Christen seien.” Evangelism, 617, 618.

The evil confederacy of the last days is associated with Freemasons, and other secret societies. Its religion is spiritualism, and it is made up of the world bankers and the billionaire merchants of the earth, who “centralize the wealth and power of the world,” and who promote such movements as Antifa and Black Lives Matter to foment “the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed” on a “world-wide scale,” in an effort to reproduce the anarchy of the “French Revolution.”

Àjùmọ̀ṣe búburú ti àwọn ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn ní ìbáṣepọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn Freemason, àti àwọn àjọ aṣírí mìíràn.

“Spiritualism asserts that men are unfallen demigods; that ‘each mind will judge itself;’ that ‘true knowledge places men above all law;’ that ‘all sins committed are innocent;’ for ‘whatever is, is right,’ and ‘God doth not condemn.’ The basest of human beings it represents as in heaven, and highly exalted there. Thus it declares to all men, ‘It matters not what you do; live as you please, heaven is your home.’ Multitudes are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that license is liberty, and that man is accountable only to himself.

«Աստվածապաշտությունը պնդում է, թե մարդիկ անկում չապրած կիսաստվածներ են, թե «յուրաքանչյուր միտք ինքն իրեն պիտի դատի», թե «ճշմարիտ գիտությունը մարդուն վեր է դասում ամեն օրենքից», թե «գործված բոլոր մեղքերն անմեղ են», որովհետև «ինչ որ կա, ճիշտ է», և «Աստված չի դատապարտում»։ Մարդկանց միջից ամենաստորիններին այն ներկայացնում է որպես երկնքում եղող և այնտեղ մեծապես բարձրացված։ Այսպես այն բոլոր մարդկանց հայտարարում է. «Կարևոր չէ, թե ինչ եք անում. ապրեք ինչպես ցանկանում եք, երկինքն ձեր տունն է»։ Այսպիսով բազմություններ առաջնորդվում են հավատալու, թե ցանկությունը բարձրագույն օրենքն է, թե սանձարձակությունը ազատություն է, և թե մարդը պատասխանատու է միայն ինքն իրեն»։

“With such teaching given at the very outset of life, when impulse is strongest, and the demand for self-restraint and purity is most urgent, where are the safeguards of virtue? what is to prevent the world from becoming a second Sodom? At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France.” Education, 227, 228.

“Sa gayong katuruang ibinibigay sa pinakasimula ng buhay, kapag ang bugso ng damdamin ay pinakamalakas, at ang pangangailangan para sa pagpipigil sa sarili at kadalisayan ay pinakamatindi, nasaan ang mga pananggalang ng kagandahang-asal? ano ang pipigil upang ang sanlibutan ay hindi maging ikalawang Sodoma? Kasabay nito, ang anarkiya ay nagsisikap na walisin ang lahat ng kautusan, hindi lamang ang banal, kundi maging ang makatao. Ang pagsasentralisa ng kayamanan at kapangyarihan; ang malalawak na pagsasanib upang payamanin ang iilan kapinsalaan ng nakararami; ang mga pagkakaisa ng mga maralitang uri upang ipagtanggol ang kanilang mga kapakanan at mga pag-aangkin; ang diwa ng pagkabalisa, ng kaguluhan at pagdanak ng dugo; ang pandaigdigang pagpapalaganap ng mismong mga katuruang humantong sa Rebolusyong Pranses—lahat ng ito ay umaakay upang isangkot ang buong sanlibutan sa isang tunggaliang katulad niyaong nagpayanig sa Pransiya.” Education, 227, 228.

Any thoughtful person should ask themselves what goes on at meetings such as recently took place at Davos, where men express their plans for planet earth without any consideration of the rest of earth’s population? What secrets were there discussed? Of course, Davos is simply one of several secret restricted meetings of the world’s billionaires, bankers, corrupted politicians and morally perverse men who develop their exalted plans for planet earth.

Hver einasti hugsandi maður ætti að spyrja sjálfan sig hvað fari fram á samkomum sem þeim er nýlega áttu sér stað í Davos, þar sem menn setja fram áform sín um plánetuna jörð án nokkurs tillits til annarra íbúa jarðarinnar. Hvaða leyndarmál voru þar rædd? Að sjálfsögðu er Davos einfaldlega einn af nokkrum leynilegum, lokuðum fundum auðkýfinga heimsins, bankamanna, spilltra stjórnmálamanna og siðferðilega spilltra manna sem móta upphafin áform sín fyrir plánetuna jörð.

“In these last days, there are arising strange fallacies and man-made theories which God declares shall be broken in pieces. The spirit of covetousness has led men to seek worldly advantage, and by extravagance and display they have tried to hide their wicked deeds which they have done in order to reach their object. Men occupying high positions of trust have revealed this unlawful desire for gain; they have practised extortion and robbery, and have gratified the evil passions of their hearts, until our cities are corrupted through their wickedness. God has declared that he will uncover these works of deceit and robbery by their own working. In some cases the judgments of God have already fallen heavily on these cities.

«En ces derniers jours, il s’élève d’étranges erreurs et des théories fabriquées par les hommes, que Dieu déclare devoir être mises en pièces. L’esprit de convoitise a conduit les hommes à rechercher l’avantage mondain, et, par l’extravagance et l’ostentation, ils ont essayé de dissimuler les actions mauvaises qu’ils ont commises afin d’atteindre leur but. Des hommes occupant de hautes charges de confiance ont manifesté ce désir illégitime de gain ; ils ont pratiqué l’extorsion et le vol, et ont satisfait les passions mauvaises de leur cœur, jusqu’à ce que nos villes soient corrompues par leur perversité. Dieu a déclaré qu’il mettra au jour ces œuvres de tromperie et de rapine par leur propre action. Dans certains cas, les jugements de Dieu sont déjà tombés lourdement sur ces villes.»

“Isaiah 8:8–12 quoted.” Review and Herald, July 18, 1907.

« Ésaïe 8:8–12 cité. » Review and Herald, 18 juillet 1907.

The cities have been corrupted, as predicted in the previous passage, and that corruption is brought about by the evil confederacy of Isaiah chapter eight. They have been corrupted by, “men occupying high positions of trust” who “have revealed” their “unlawful desire for gain.” The corrupted cities are easily seen in states whose attorney generals have been elected by the funds of communists such as George Soros. It can be seen when established laws go un-enforced by corrupted politicians in Washington, DC. It can be seen by laws which are only employed against those on the other side of the political spectrum, as illustrated by persons such as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.

Le città sono state corrotte, come predetto nel passo precedente, e tale corruzione è prodotta dall’empia confederazione di Isaia capitolo otto. Esse sono state corrotte da “uomini che occupano alte posizioni di fiducia”, i quali “hanno rivelato” il loro “illecito desiderio di guadagno”. Le città corrotte si vedono facilmente negli Stati i cui procuratori generali sono stati eletti con i fondi di comunisti quali George Soros. Ciò si può vedere quando leggi stabilite non vengono fatte rispettare da politici corrotti a Washington, DC. Lo si può vedere in leggi che vengono applicate soltanto contro coloro che stanno dall’altro lato dello spettro politico, come illustrato da persone quali Nancy Pelosi e Adam Schiff.

In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isaiah 59:13–15.

甚叛逆，訧棄絕𠊧之天主，出言欺壓與悖逆，心中懷藏虛謊之言而發於口。公平退後，公義遠立；誠實仆倒於街市，正直不得進入。誠然，真理缺乏；離惡者反成掠物。上主見此，因無公平，便以為不悅。以賽亞書 59:13–15。

In the previous passage from the Review and Herald, the men who occupy high positions of trust, identifies corrupted politicians whose Wall Street portfolios always exceed the best possible returns, because of their legislative work in legalizing “insider trading” for themselves, and no one else. Review the history of Martha Stewart. The cities in the passage are corrupted through their wickedness, and this is especially apparent in the cities and states governed by the globalist Democrats.

Dans le passage précédent tiré de la Review and Herald, les hommes qui occupent des postes élevés de confiance désignent des politiciens corrompus dont les portefeuilles de Wall Street dépassent toujours les meilleurs rendements possibles, en raison de leur action législative consistant à légaliser pour eux-mêmes le « délit d’initié », et pour personne d’autre. Passez en revue l’histoire de Martha Stewart. Les villes mentionnées dans le passage sont corrompues par leur perversité, et cela est particulièrement manifeste dans les villes et les États gouvernés par les démocrates mondialistes.

The evil confederacy in the last days consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, and the beast and false prophet have their own wicked prophetic characteristics, but the characteristics that are so apparent in liberal globalism are the traits of the dragon.

Koalisi jahat pada akhir zaman terdiri dari naga, binatang, dan nabi palsu; dan binatang serta nabi palsu memiliki ciri-ciri kenabian jahat mereka sendiri, tetapi ciri-ciri yang demikian nyata dalam globalisme liberal adalah sifat-sifat naga.

“Revelation 17:13–14 quoted. ‘These have one mind.’ There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan’s forces. ‘And shall give their power and strength unto the beast.’ Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism.

«Αποκάλυψις 17:13–14» παρατίθεται. «Οὗτοι μίαν γνώμην ἔχουσιν.» Θα υπάρξει ένας παγκόσμιος δεσμός ενώσεως, μία μεγάλη αρμονία, μία συνομοσπονδία των δυνάμεων του Σατανά. «Καὶ τὴν δύναμιν καὶ ἐξουσίαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ διδόασιν.» Έτσι εκδηλώνεται η ίδια αυθαίρετη, καταπιεστική εξουσία εναντίον της θρησκευτικής ελευθερίας, της ελευθερίας να λατρεύει κανείς τον Θεό σύμφωνα με τις επιταγές της συνειδήσεως, όπως εκδηλώθηκε από τον παπισμό, όταν στο παρελθόν καταδίωκε εκείνους που τολμούσαν να αρνηθούν να συμμορφωθούν προς τα θρησκευτικά τελετουργικά και τις τελετές του Ρωμαισμού.

“In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God’s people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Law-giver identifies Himself as the Creator of the heavens and the earth.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

“Am Kampf, der in den letzten Tagen geführt werden wird, werden sich im Widerstand gegen Gottes Volk alle verderbten Mächte vereinen, die von der Treue zum Gesetz Jehovas abgefallen sind. In diesem Kampf wird der Sabbat des vierten Gebotes der große Streitpunkt sein; denn im Sabbatgebot offenbart sich der große Gesetzgeber selbst als der Schöpfer des Himmels und der Erde.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

We will consider the prophetic characteristics of the beast and apostate Protestantism in the following articles. It is important to identify what has been revealed concerning which political party is leading out and pulling the strings in the enforcement of Sunday legislation. Of course, both parties (Democrat and Republican) come together at the Sunday law issue, as did the Pharisees and Sadducees at the cross, but there is no justifiable reason to suggest that the label of Protestant or apostate Protestant can be associated with the Democratic party, for it is clearly the dragon power.

ئەم خەسڵەتە پێغەمبەرانەییەکانی ئاژەڵەکە و پروتستانتییە دەستوورلابردووەکە لە وتارەکانی داهاتوودا دەخەینە بەرچاو. گرنگە بناسین کە چی ئاشکرا کراوە سەبارەت بەوەی کام پارتەی سیاسی پێشەنگی دەکات و لە پشت پەردەوە هەموو شتەکان دەجوڵێنێت لە سەپاندنی یاسای یەکشەممەدا. بە دڵنیاییەوە، هەردوو پارتەکە (دیموکرات و کۆماری) لە بابەتی یاسای یەکشەممەدا یەکدەگرن، هەروەک فەریسییەکان و سەدوقییەکان لەسەر خاچەکە یەکگرتوون؛ بەڵام هیچ هۆکارێکی شیاو و بەرپرس نەبووە بۆ ئەوەی پێشبینی بکرێت ناونیشانی «پروتستانت» یان «پروتستانتیی دەستوورلابردوو» بتوانرێت بە پارتەی دیموکرات بپەیوەسترێت، چونکە بە ڕوونی هێزی ئەژدیهاکەیە.

The history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the history where Isaiah’s evil confederacy of chapter eight is identified. That history began on September 11, 2001, when the fourth president, Bush the second, was in power. In that history the sixth president would arrive in 2016, and he would awaken (stir up) all the realm of Grecia, for he would awaken the world to the struggle between the dragon power and apostate Protestantism that accomplishes the work of restoring the beast to the throne of the earth.

L’histoire du scellement des cent quarante-quatre mille est l’histoire dans laquelle la mauvaise confédération d’Ésaïe au chapitre huit est identifiée. Cette histoire a commencé le 11 septembre 2001, lorsque le quatrième président, Bush le second, était au pouvoir. Dans cette histoire, le sixième président paraîtrait en 2016, et il réveillerait (susciterait) tout le royaume de la Grèce, car il réveillerait le monde à la lutte entre la puissance du dragon et le protestantisme apostat, laquelle accomplit l’œuvre de restaurer la bête sur le trône de la terre.

The blind, unreasoning hatred against Trump is identified by many as a kind of insanity, for it is based on dishonesty and irrational logic. The world attempts to define the unjustifiable hatred for Trump, but the reality is that it is not a straightforward human insanity on the part of the globalists, it is the supernatural manifestation of the fulfillment of prophecy during the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

La haine aveugle et déraisonnable dirigée contre Trump est considérée par beaucoup comme une forme de folie, car elle repose sur la malhonnêteté et une logique irrationnelle. Le monde tente de définir cette haine injustifiable envers Trump, mais la réalité est qu’il ne s’agit pas, de la part des mondialistes, d’une simple folie humaine; c’est la manifestation surnaturelle de l’accomplissement de la prophétie au cours de l’histoire du scellement des cent quarante-quatre mille.

“O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry! But many of those who should be proclaiming the truth are accusing and condemning their brethren. When the converting power of God comes upon minds, there will be a decided change. Men will have no inclination to criticize and tear down. They will not stand in a position that hinders the light from shining to the world. Their criticism, their accusing, will cease. The powers of the enemy are mustering for battle. Stern conflicts are before us. Press together, my brethren and sisters, press together. Bind up with Christ. ‘Say ye not, A confederacy, . . . neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.’

“The world is a theater. The actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to his rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.

„Lewatle ke lebala la ditiragalo. Baatleletsi, e leng baagi ba yone, ba ipaakanyetsa go dira karolo ya bone mo terameng e kgolo ya bofelo. Modimo ga a sa lemogiwa. Mo bontsing jo bogolo jwa batho ga go na bongwe, fa e se fela jaaka batho ba ikopanya go fitlhelela maikaelelo a bone a boithati. Modimo o lebile.

Ba ba ineelang mo keletsong ya go ikopanya ba diragatsa maano a mmaba. Sebaka se tla latelwa ke ditlamorago tsa sone.”

“Transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.” Review and Herald, September 10, 1903.

«La transgression a presque atteint sa limite. La confusion remplit le monde, et une grande terreur va bientôt s’abattre sur les êtres humains. La fin est très proche. Nous qui connaissons la vérité, nous devrions nous préparer à ce qui va bientôt fondre sur le monde comme une surprise accablante.» Review and Herald, 10 septembre 1903.

Islam of the third woe is about to strike “thousands of cities” and Laodicean Adventism has no sense of the impending destruction that is about to happen. In the time period when Isaiah’s evil confederacy is accomplishing its work, there is a satanic “power from beneath” that is “working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,” and these things come as an “overwhelming surprise.” The insanity exercised towards Trump is caused by a power from beneath. It is a component of the last scenes of earth’s history.

Le troisième malheur de l’islam est sur le point de frapper « des milliers de villes », et l’adventisme laodicéen n’a aucun sentiment de la destruction imminente qui est sur le point de survenir. Dans la période où la mauvaise confédération d’Ésaïe accomplit son œuvre, il y a une « puissance d’en bas » satanique qui « agit pour amener les dernières grandes scènes du drame », et ces choses viennent comme une « surprise accablante ». La folie exercée à l’égard de Trump est causée par une puissance d’en bas. Elle constitue un élément des dernières scènes de l’histoire de la terre.

This should not be understood as an endorsement for Trump, it is simply God’s Word, which never fails. During the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand God is pouring out His power from on high, while Satan is exercising his power from beneath.

Ceci ne doit pas être compris comme un appui à Trump ; c’est simplement la Parole de Dieu, qui ne faillît jamais. Durant le scellement des cent quarante-quatre mille, Dieu répand sa puissance d’en haut, tandis que Satan exerce sa puissance d’en bas.

“If we would have the spirit and power of the third angel’s message, we must present the law and the gospel together, for they go hand in hand. As a power from beneath is stirring up the children of disobedience to make void the law of God, and to trample upon the truth that Christ is our righteousness, a power from above is moving upon the hearts of those who are loyal, to exalt the law, and to lift up Jesus as a complete Saviour. Unless divine power is brought into the experience of the people of God, false theories and ideas will take minds captive, Christ and His righteousness will be dropped out of the experience of many, and their faith will be without power or life.” Gospel Workers, 161.

“यदि हमें तीसरे स्वर्गदूत के सन्देश की आत्मा और सामर्थ्य प्राप्त करनी है, तो हमें व्यवस्था और सुसमाचार दोनों को साथ-साथ प्रस्तुत करना होगा, क्योंकि वे हाथ में हाथ डाले चलते हैं। जैसे अधोलोक से एक शक्ति अवज्ञा की सन्तानों को उभार रही है कि वे परमेश्वर की व्यवस्था को निष्फल करें, और इस सत्य को पैरों तले रौंदें कि मसीह हमारी धार्मिकता है, वैसे ही ऊपर से एक शक्ति उन लोगों के हृदयों पर कार्य कर रही है जो निष्ठावान हैं, ताकि व्यवस्था को महान ठहराया जाए, और यीशु को एक पूर्ण उद्धारकर्ता के रूप में ऊँचा उठाया जाए। जब तक दैवीय शक्ति परमेश्वर की प्रजा के अनुभव में न लाई जाए, तब तक मिथ्या सिद्धान्त और धारणाएँ मनों को बन्दी बना लेंगी, मसीह और उसकी धार्मिकता बहुतों के अनुभव से बाहर कर दिए जाएँगे, और उनका विश्वास सामर्थ्य और जीवन से रहित होगा।” Gospel Workers, 161.

The manifestation of Satanic power which occurs before, and leading up to the soon-coming Sunday law, typifies the crowning act of Satan’s power that occurs at the soon-coming Sunday law.

La manifestation de la puissance satanique qui se produit avant la loi dominicale imminente, et qui y conduit, préfigure l’acte culminant de la puissance de Satan qui se manifeste lors de cette loi dominicale imminente.

“By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

“通过强制设立教皇制度、并公然违背上帝律法的法令，我们的国家必将使自己完全与公义断绝。当新教伸手越过鸿沟，去握住罗马势力的手；当她越过深渊，与招魂术握手；当在这三重联合的影响之下，我们的国家将否弃其作为一个新教且共和政体之宪法的一切原则，并为传播教皇制度的谬妄与迷惑预作安排之时，我们便可以知道，撒但奇异作为的时候已经来到，而且末日近了。”《证言》卷五，451页。

The motivation that is currently coming from beneath, and manifesting its activities in the globalist representatives of the dragon in the United States, will be reproduced in the nations of the world after the Sunday law arrives. Even now, the nations of the world are manifesting the same supernatural insanity over Trump.

Le mobile qui procède actuellement d’en bas, et qui manifeste son activité chez les représentants mondialistes du dragon aux États-Unis, se reproduira dans les nations du monde lorsque la loi du dimanche sera promulguée. Dès à présent, les nations du monde manifestent la même folie surnaturelle à l’égard de Trump.

“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

“Les nations étrangères suivront l’exemple des États-Unis. Bien qu’ils prennent l’initiative, la même crise surviendra néanmoins pour notre peuple dans toutes les parties du monde.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

What the Republicans of the United States define as insanity on the part of Democrats in their illogical opposition to Trump, is actually a supernatural manifestation of satanic power that is in fulfillment of Daniel chapter eleven, verse two. Trump, the sixth president since the time of the end in 1989 was to “stir up” (awaken), the socialistic globalists of the entire world. The hatred against him is supernatural, and it prefigures the manifestation of satanic power that arrives in greater magnitude at the soon-coming Sunday law.

WaseRepublican base-United States abachaza njengobuhlanya ngasecaleni lamaDemocrat ekuphikisaneni kwawo okungenangqondo noTrump, empeleni kuwukubonakaliswa okungaphezu kwemvelo kwamandla kaSathane, okugcwalisa uDaniyeli isahluko seshumi nanye, ivesi lesibili. UTrump, ongumongameli wesithupha kusukela esikhathini sokuphela ngo-1989, wayezovusa “stir up” (awaken), ama-globalist ezenhlalo zososayensi emhlabeni wonke. Inzondo emelene naye ingaphezu kwemvelo, futhi iyisandulelo sokubonakaliswa kwamandla kaSathane okufika ngobukhulu obukhulu ngokwengeziwe emthethweni weSonto osuzayo maduze.

The manifestation of the power from beneath, according to Sister White’s reference takes place during the evil confederation, which Isaiah warns about in chapter eight, and in that period the sealing of God’s people is occurring.

La manifestation de la puissance d’en bas, selon la référence de sœur White, a lieu durant la confédération du mal, contre laquelle Ésaïe met en garde au chapitre huit, et durant cette période le scellement du peuple de Dieu est en cours.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:16.

Kemahilah kesaksian itu, meteraikanlah hukum Taurat di antara murid-murid-Ku. Yesaya 8:16.

“Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons. The spirits of devils will go forth to the kings of the earth and to the whole world, to fasten them in deception, and urge them on to unite with Satan in his last struggle against the government of heaven. By these agencies, rulers and subjects will be alike deceived. Persons will arise pretending to be Christ Himself, and claiming the title and worship which belong to the world’s Redeemer. They will perform wonderful miracles of healing and will profess to have revelations from heaven contradicting the testimony of the Scriptures.

« Des spectacles terrifiants d’un caractère surnaturel seront bientôt révélés dans les cieux, comme signe de la puissance des démons faiseurs de miracles. Les esprits de démons s’en iront vers les rois de la terre et vers le monde entier, afin de les enfermer dans la séduction et de les pousser à s’unir à Satan dans sa dernière lutte contre le gouvernement du ciel. Par ces agents, les gouvernants comme les sujets seront pareillement séduits. Des personnes s’élèveront, se prétendant le Christ Lui-même, et revendiquant le titre et l’adoration qui appartiennent au Rédempteur du monde. Elles accompliront de merveilleux miracles de guérison et prétendront avoir des révélations venant du ciel qui contrediront le témoignage des Écritures. »

“As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour’s advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. Revelation 1:13–15. The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: ‘Christ has come! Christ has come!’ The people prostrate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Saviour uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion. Like the Samaritans who were deceived by Simon Magus, the multitudes, from the least to the greatest, give heed to these sorceries, saying: This is ‘the great power of God.’ Acts 8:10.

“En la ĉefkulmina ago de la granda dramo de trompo, Satano mem personigos Kriston. La eklezio jam delonge konfesis, ke ŝi atendas la alvenon de la Savanto kiel la plenumiĝon de siaj esperoj. Nun la granda trompanto igos ŝajni, ke Kristo venis. En diversaj partoj de la tero, Satano aperigos sin inter homoj kiel majeste majestan estaĵon de blindiga heleco, similan al la priskribo de la Filo de Dio donita de Johano en la Revelacio. Revelation 1:13–15. La gloro, kiu lin ĉirkaŭas, estas nesuperebla de io ajn, kion mortemaj okuloj ĝis nun vidis. La triumfkrio sonas tra la aero: ‘Kristo venis! Kristo venis!’ La homoj falas antaŭ li teren en adoro, dum li levas siajn manojn kaj eldiras benon super ili, kiel Kristo benis Siajn disĉiplojn, kiam Li estis sur la tero. Lia voĉo estas milda kaj kvieta, tamen plena de melodio. Per mildaj, kompatemaj tonoj li prezentas kelkajn el la samaj graciaj, ĉielaj veroj, kiujn la Savanto elparolis; li resanigas la malsanojn de la homoj, kaj poste, en sia alprenita rolo de Kristo, li asertas, ke li ŝanĝis la Sabaton al dimanĉo, kaj ordonas al ĉiuj sanktigi la tagon, kiun li benis. Li deklaras, ke tiuj, kiuj persistas en la sankta observado de la sepa tago, blasfemas lian nomon per tio, ke ili rifuzas aŭskulti liajn anĝelojn, senditajn al ili kun lumo kaj vero. Tio estas la forta, preskaŭ superforta trompo. Kiel la Samarianoj, kiuj estis trompitaj de Simon Magus, la homamasoj, de la plej malgrandaj ĝis la plej grandaj, atentas tiujn sorĉojn, dirante: Ĉi tiu estas ‘la granda potenco de Dio.’ Acts 8:10.”

“But the people of God will not be misled. The teachings of this false christ are not in accordance with the Scriptures. His blessing is pronounced upon the worshipers of the beast and his image, the very class upon whom the Bible declares that God’s unmingled wrath shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.

“Lakini watu wa Mungu hawatapotoshwa. Mafundisho ya huyu kristo wa uongo hayapatani na Maandiko. Baraka yake inatangazwa juu ya waabuduo wa mnyama na sanamu yake, yaani kundi lilelile ambalo Biblia inatangaza kwamba ghadhabu ya Mungu isiyochanganyika itamwagwa juu yao.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.
