Daniel chapter six, is the third line in the first six chapters of Daniel, which directly presents an illustration of the Sunday law crisis. In chapter three Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, and the three worthies, represent the ensign which is lifted up, and the entire world beholds.

Daniɛl taagbu 6, yɛ laɣim ka waheebu laɣin ni Daniɛl taagbu bihiɣu 1 ka 6, ka nyɛla m-pahi yɛlɛri ka Sunday law crisis maali. Taagbu 3 ni, Nebukadnezzar salima tomdi, ni biɛhigu ka a yiɣinsɛri tana, yɛla ensign din ka yuli ka tooni, ka duniya pahi ŋuni ka laa.

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Daniel 3:2.

Потоа царот Навуходоносор испрати да се соберат кнезовите, управителите, војводите, судиите, благајниците, советниците, началниците и сите старешини на покраините, за да дојдат на осветувањето на идолот што го беше поставил царот Навуходоносор. Даниел 3:2.

In chapter three, the three worthies refused to bow, and their action brought upon them the persecution of the furnace, whereas Daniel in chapter six, bows three times a day, and his action brought upon him the persecution of the lion’s den. Line upon line, they represent the Sunday law persecution as a decision of worship, that in both cases, has already been determined by the faithful. Those represented by the three and one combination that symbolizes the one hundred and forty-four thousand have settled into the truth before the shaking of persecution arrives.

En el capítulo tres, los tres dignos rehusaron postrarse, y su acción trajo sobre ellos la persecución del horno; mientras que Daniel, en el capítulo seis, se postra tres veces al día, y su acción trajo sobre él la persecución del foso de los leones. Línea sobre línea, ellos representan la persecución de la ley dominical como una decisión de adoración que, en ambos casos, ya ha sido determinada por los fieles. Aquellos representados por la combinación de tres y uno que simboliza a los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil, se han afirmado en la verdad antes de que llegue el zarandeo de la persecución.

“Said the angel, ‘Deny self; ye must step fast.’ Some of us have had time to get the truth and to advance step by step, and every step we have taken has given us strength to take the next. But now time is almost finished, and what we have been years learning, they will have to learn in a few months. They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again. Those who would not receive the mark of the beast and his image when the decree goes forth, must have decision now to say, Nay, we will not regard the institution of the beast.” Early Writings, 68.

“Ingelis ütles: „Salgake iseend; te peate kiiresti edasi astuma.” Mõnel meist on olnud aega tõde vastu võtta ja samm-sammult edasi minna, ning iga samm, mille oleme astunud, on andnud meile jõudu astuda järgmine. Kuid nüüd on aeg peaaegu lõppenud, ja selle, mida meie oleme õppinud aastate jooksul, peavad nemad õppima mõne kuuga. Neil tuleb ka palju unustada ja palju uuesti õppida. Need, kes ei taha vastu võtta metsalise märki ega tema kuju siis, kui käsk välja antakse, peavad juba nüüd olema otsustavad, öeldes: Ei, me ei tunnusta metsalise seadlust.” Early Writings, 68.

In chapter five, the Sunday law is addressing the end of the earth beast, and the judgment brought by the enemies that came through the wall.

I chapitre cinq, li lei dominical adressa li fin de li bestia del terra, e li judica portat per li inimicos queles venit trans li mure.

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. Daniel 5:30, 31.

Im selben Augenblick wurde Belsazar, der König der Chaldäer, getötet. Und Darius, der Meder, empfing das Königreich, als er etwa zweiundsechzig Jahre alt war. Daniel 5,30.31.

In chapter six, the sealing of God’s people, represented by the king’s seal being placed upon the lion’s den is identified.

У шостому розділі ототожнюється запечатання Божого народу, представлене тим, що царську печатку було покладено на лев’ячу яму.

And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Daniel 6:17.

Ve oneve rhy chreg, ha dodhes war geneu an ogof; hag an brenin a selas ev gans y seeladow owne, ha gans seeladow y arglwydhyon; rag na vynnas an mennas bos chanjys a-dro dhe Daniel. Daniel 6:17.

The three lines all contribute to the characteristics of the ensign that is lifted up in a cloud, during the hour of the great earthquake in Revelation chapter eleven.

De tre linjene bidrar alle til kjennetegnene ved det banneret som løftes opp i en sky, i den time da det store jordskjelvet finner sted i Åpenbaringen kapittel elleve.

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. Revelation 11:12, 13.

Et ils entendirent une grande voix venant du ciel, qui leur disait : Montez ici. Et ils montèrent au ciel dans une nuée ; et leurs ennemis les regardèrent. À cette même heure, il y eut un grand tremblement de terre, et le dixième de la ville tomba ; et sept mille hommes furent tués dans le tremblement de terre ; et les autres furent saisis de frayeur, et donnèrent gloire au Dieu du ciel. Apocalypse 11:12, 13.

Daniel chapter six, identifies the sealing of God’s people, but it is more specifically addressing the punishment of the confederacy of the “presidents, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains,” that deceived the king into killing Daniel. The deception of the king (a symbol of the state), is a significant prophetic subject, containing several prophetic witnesses. Unlike Nebuchadnezzar in chapter three, or Belshazzar in chapter five, who were both oblivious to Daniel and the three witnesses until after the crisis arrived, Darius’ “preference” for Daniel, in advance of the crisis identifies a different setting for the crisis of the Sunday law.

दानिय्येल अध्याय छह, परमेश्वर की प्रजा पर लगाई गई मुहर की पहचान करता है, परन्तु अधिक विशेष रूप से वह “प्रधानों, हाकिमों, सरदारों, मन्त्रियों, और सेनापतियों” की उस महासंघि के दण्ड को सम्बोधित करता है, जिसने राजा को धोखा देकर दानिय्येल को मरवा डालने के लिये उकसाया। राजा का यह छल किया जाना (जो राज्य का एक प्रतीक है), एक महत्त्वपूर्ण भविष्यद्वाणीगत विषय है, जिसमें कई भविष्यद्वाणीगत साक्षी सम्मिलित हैं। अध्याय तीन में नबूकदनेस्सर, अथवा अध्याय पाँच में बेलशस्सर के विपरीत—जो दोनों संकट उपस्थित होने के बाद तक दानिय्येल और उन तीन साक्षियों से अनभिज्ञ थे—दारियावेश की संकट से पूर्व दानिय्येल के प्रति “प्राथमिकता” रविवार-विधान के संकट के लिये एक भिन्न परिस्थिति की पहचान कराती है।

Daniel was “preferred” above the other two presidents, and the three presidents were over the one hundred and twenty princes. Daniel is contrasted primarily with the presidents and princes, and he is favored above the two that form a confederacy of deception represented by five (five foolish virgins).

ダニエルは他の二人の総監の上に「すぐれて」おり、この三人の総監は百二十人の太守たちの上に置かれていた。ダニエルは主として総監たちおよび太守たちと対比されており、また彼は、五(五人のおろかな処女)によって表象される欺きの同盟を成すその二人以上に、いっそう寵遇されている。

It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. Daniel 6:1–5.

Dario sukis naitalaga sa kaharian ang isang daan at dalawampung prinsipe, na mangangasiwa sa buong kaharian; at sa ibabaw nila ay tatlong pangulo, na doo’y si Daniel ang una: upang ang mga prinsipe ay magsulit sa kanila, at ang hari ay hindi mapinsala. Nang magkagayo’y itinangi itong si Daniel nang higit kaysa sa mga pangulo at mga prinsipe, sapagkat isang marangal na espiritu ang nasa kaniya; at inisip ng hari na ilagay siya sa ibabaw ng buong kaharian. Nang magkagayo’y humanap ang mga pangulo at mga prinsipe ng maipararatang laban kay Daniel tungkol sa kaharian; ngunit wala silang masumpungang maipararatang ni pagkukulang man; sapagkat siya’y tapat, ni nasumpungan man sa kaniya ang anumang kamalian o pagkukulang. Nang magkagayo’y sinabi ng mga lalaking ito, Hindi tayo makasusumpong ng anumang maipararatang laban sa Daniel na ito, maliban na masumpungan natin iyon laban sa kaniya tungkol sa kautusan ng kaniyang Dios. Daniel 6:1–5.

Darius is being used to illustrate a deception that is carried out against the king, which represents the ten kings (the United Nations), at the end of the world. The deception contributes to the hatred which the ten kings (the United Nations), manifest against the whore (the papacy), which causes them to “make her desolate and naked,” and “eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”

داریوش برای نشان دادن فریبی به‌کار گرفته می‌شود که در پایان جهان بر ضدّ پادشاه انجام می‌گیرد؛ پادشاهی که نمودار ده پادشاه است (سازمان ملل متحد). این فریب به آن نفرتی یاری می‌رساند که ده پادشاه (سازمان ملل متحد) بر ضدّ فاحشه (پاپیّت) آشکار می‌سازند، و این امر سبب می‌شود که «او را ویران و عریان سازند» و «گوشتش را بخورند و او را به آتش بسوزانند.»

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:16–18.

Et les dix cornes que tu as vues sur la bête, celles-là haïront la prostituée, la rendront déserte et nue, mangeront sa chair, et la consumeront par le feu. Car Dieu a mis dans leurs cœurs d’accomplir son dessein, d’être d’un même avis, et de donner leur royauté à la bête, jusqu’à ce que les paroles de Dieu soient accomplies. Et la femme que tu as vue, c’est la grande ville qui règne sur les rois de la terre. Apocalypse 17:16–18.

The United Nations (the seventh kingdom), will destroy the papacy, even though they will have just recently given her their kingdom, for they rule for a “short space.”

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Revelation 17:10.

Et il y a sept rois : cinq sont tombés, l’un est, et l’autre n’est pas encore venu ; et quand il sera venu, il doit demeurer peu de temps. Apocalypse 17:10.

At the Sunday law the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, the earth beast of Revelation thirteen (the United States), has just finished its reign of the seventy symbolic years, in which the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy, the sea beast of Revelation thirteen (the papacy), has been forgotten for those seventy symbolic years of Isaiah chapter twenty-three.

Au temps de la loi dominicale, le sixième royaume de la prophétie biblique, la bête de la terre d’Apocalypse 13 (les États-Unis), vient d’achever son règne des soixante-dix années symboliques, au cours desquelles le cinquième royaume de la prophétie biblique, la bête de la mer d’Apocalypse 13 (la papauté), a été oublié pendant ces soixante-dix années symboliques d’Ésaïe chapitre 23.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. Isaiah 23:15–17.

Et il arrivera, en ce jour-là, que Tyr sera oubliée pendant soixante-dix ans, selon les jours d’un seul roi; au bout de soixante-dix ans, il en sera de Tyr comme dans le chant de la prostituée. Prends une harpe, fais le tour de la ville, prostituée oubliée; fais entendre une douce mélodie, chante de nombreux chants, afin qu’on se souvienne de toi. Et il arrivera, après soixante-dix ans, que l’Éternel visitera Tyr; alors elle retournera à son salaire, et se prostituera avec tous les royaumes du monde sur la face de la terre. Ésaïe 23:15–17.

At the Sunday law the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy, the ten kings (the United Nations), begins to reign, but only briefly, for the premier king of the ten kings, then begins its work of forcing the entire world to align under the structure of the beast, which is the combination of church and state, and is symbolized as the image of the beast.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Revelation 13:11–14.

Viděl jsem jinou šelmu, vystupující ze země; měla dva rohy podobné beránčím, ale mluvila jako drak. A vykonává všechnu moc první šelmy před její tváří a působí, aby země i ti, kdo na ní přebývají, uctívali první šelmu, jejíž smrtelná rána byla uzdravena. A činí veliká znamení, takže i oheň nechává sestupovat z nebe na zem před zraky lidí. A svádí obyvatele země těmi zázraky, které jí bylo dáno činit před tváří šelmy; a říká obyvatelům země, aby zhotovili obraz té šelmě, která byla raněna mečem, a přece zůstala naživu. Zjevení 13,11–14.

A primary element of the symbolism of the earth beast (the United States), that begins as a lamb and ends speaking as a dragon, is its speaking. Speaking prophetically identifies an action of the legislative and judicial authorities.

भू-पशु (संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका) के प्रतीकवाद का एक प्रमुख तत्त्व, जो मेम्ने के समान आरम्भ करता है और अंत में अजगर के समान बोलता है, उसका बोलना है। भविष्यद्वक्तापरक अर्थ में बोलना, विधायी और न्यायिक प्राधिकारों की एक क्रिया को सूचित करता है।

The speaking of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities.” The Great Controversy, 443.

« Le fait que la nation parle est l’action de ses autorités législatives et judiciaires. » The Great Controversy, 443.

When the United States first spoke as a lamb, it produced the Constitution of the United States, thus establishing a land of refuge for those fleeing the persecution of the papacy and the kings of Europe.

যখন যুক্তরাষ্ট্র প্রথমে মেষশাবকের ন্যায় কথা বলেছিল, তখন সে যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের সংবিধান প্রণয়ন করেছিল, এভাবে পাপাসি ও ইউরোপের রাজাদের নির্যাতন থেকে পলায়নকারী লোকদের জন্য এক আশ্রয়ভূমি প্রতিষ্ঠা করেছিল।

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. Revelation 12:16.

Na dunia ikamsaidia yule mwanamke, nayo dunia ikafungua kinywa chake, ikaumeza huo mto alioutapika yule joka kutoka kinywani mwake. Ufunuo 12:16.

At the end of the seventy symbolic years, the earth beast speaks again, but then as a dragon, as it enforces Sunday worship, which is the mark of papal authority. When the mark of papal authority is enforced, the papacy is remembered, and she is remembered, when the Commandment that was never to be forgotten is made illegal to observe.

Et à la fin des soixante-dix années symboliques, la bête de la terre parle de nouveau, mais alors comme un dragon, lorsqu’elle impose l’observance du dimanche, qui est la marque de l’autorité papale. Lorsque la marque de l’autorité papale est imposée, la papauté est rappelée à la mémoire, et elle est rappelée à la mémoire lorsque le Commandement qui ne devait jamais être oublié est rendu illégal à observer.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8–11.

Souviens-toi du jour du sabbat, pour le sanctifier. Tu travailleras six jours, et tu feras tout ton ouvrage; mais le septième jour est le sabbat de l’Éternel, ton Dieu: tu ne feras aucun ouvrage en ce jour-là, ni toi, ni ton fils, ni ta fille, ni ton serviteur, ni ta servante, ni ton bétail, ni l’étranger qui est dans tes portes. Car en six jours l’Éternel a fait les cieux et la terre, la mer, et tout ce qui y est, et il s’est reposé le septième jour: c’est pourquoi l’Éternel a béni le jour du sabbat et l’a sanctifié. Exode 20:8–11.

National apostasy is then followed by national ruin, and the three powers that lead the world to Armageddon join hands.

Apostasia ya taifa hufuatiwa basi na maangamizi ya taifa, na mamlaka yale matatu yanayoiongoza dunia hadi Har–Magedoni huungana mikono.

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.

“Dɔ̃kɔlɔn dekre la, mɛn bɛ Papasi sigiyɔrɔ law kɛ ka tugu Ala sariyalan kan, an jamana bɛ a yɛrɛ bɔ kosɛbɛ tilennenya la. Ni Pɔrɔtɛsitantizimu bɛ a bolo sɔrɔ ka tɛmɛ fɔlɔfurancɛ kan walasa ka Roman sɛbɛnna fanga bolo minɛ, ni a bɛ a yɛrɛ nɔgɔya kɔfɛ ka bolo fara Niniyaliw ni, ni, nin sabatali kelen-saba la minnu bɛ se ka an jamana dɛmɛ, an faso bɛ a yafa a Konstitisɔn fɛɛrɛ bɛɛ minnu ye a kɛra Pɔrɔtɛsitant ni repibliki gɔfɛrɛmɛn kɛrɛfɔ ye, ani a bɛ dabɔ ka Papasi kalanw ni fanfanga-jɛliw yɛlɛma ka dɔ fara, o tuma la an bɛ se ka dɔn ko Sitan ka baara kabakotigɛnin ye yɔrɔ min na, ani ko laban surun na.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

When “Protestantism” (the United States), “the Roman power” (the Vatican) and “Spiritualism” (the United Nations), join hands at the Sunday law, they begin to lead the world to Armageddon, which is represented as first forcing the world to accept the authority of a one-world government, which consists of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. The power of the miracles that are employed by the earth beast, not only brings about the fornication of the whore of Tyre with the kings of the earth, but it enforces the “speaking” of the world-wide image of the beast. By prophetic definition this means the one-world government must have a legislative body (located in New York), and a judicial body (located in the Hague).

যখন “প্রোটেস্ট্যান্টবাদ” (যুক্তরাষ্ট্র), “রোমীয় শক্তি” (ভ্যাটিকান) এবং “আত্মাবাদ” (জাতিসংঘ) রবিবারের আইন প্রণয়নের সময় পরস্পরের সঙ্গে হাত মেলায়, তখন তারা বিশ্বকে আরমাগেদ্দনের দিকে পরিচালিত করতে শুরু করে; যা এইরূপে উপস্থাপিত হয়েছে যে, প্রথমে তারা বিশ্বকে এক বিশ্ব-সরকারের কর্তৃত্ব গ্রহণ করতে বাধ্য করে—যা গির্জা ও রাষ্ট্রের সমন্বয়ে গঠিত, যেখানে এই সম্পর্কের নিয়ন্ত্রণ গির্জার হাতে থাকে। পৃথিবীর পশু যে অলৌকিক কার্যকলাপের শক্তি প্রয়োগ করে, তা কেবল পৃথিবীর রাজাদের সঙ্গে তূরের বেশ্যার ব্যভিচারই ঘটায় না, বরং সমগ্র বিশ্বের পশুর প্রতিমার “কথা বলা”ও কার্যকরভাবে বলবৎ করে। ভবিষ্যদ্বাণীমূলক সংজ্ঞা অনুযায়ী, এর অর্থ এই যে, সেই এক বিশ্ব-সরকারের অবশ্যই একটি আইন প্রণয়নকারী সংস্থা থাকতে হবে (নিউ ইয়র্কে অবস্থিত), এবং একটি বিচারিক সংস্থা থাকতে হবে (দ্য হেগে অবস্থিত)।

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:14–18.

Na huwadanganya wakaao juu ya nchi kwa njia ya miujiza hiyo aliyopewa uwezo kuifanya mbele ya yule mnyama; akiwaambia wakaao juu ya nchi wamfanyie yule mnyama sanamu, yule aliyekuwa na jeraha la upanga, naye akaishi. Naye akapewa uwezo kuipa hiyo sanamu ya mnyama uhai, hata ile sanamu ya mnyama inene, tena kusababisha kwamba wote wasiomsujudia hiyo sanamu ya mnyama wauwawe. Naye huwalazimisha wote, wadogo kwa wakubwa, matajiri kwa maskini, walio huru kwa watumwa, kutiwa chapa katika mkono wao wa kuume, au katika vipaji vya nyuso zao; tena kwamba mtu yeyote asiweze kununua wala kuuza, isipokuwa yeye aliye nayo hiyo chapa, yaani, jina la yule mnyama, au hesabu ya jina lake. Hapa ndipo penye hekima. Yeye aliye na ufahamu na aiihesabu hesabu ya yule mnyama; kwa maana ni hesabu ya mwanadamu; na hesabu yake ni mia sita sitini na sita. Ufunuo 13:14–18.

The earth beast (the United States), will deceive the entire world into accepting a worldwide image of the beast, the same image which the United States had formed as it led to and ultimately enforced the Sunday law. It will then empower the one-world government to enforce its laws upon pain of death, and/or economic penalties. The deception of Darius the king, is a symbol of the deception of the kings that is repeatedly identified in prophecy, for as the earth beast begins to force the world to accept the one-world government the argument that is used to force the world to accept the arrangement, is that the power that has angered the nations (Islam), must be opposed with a worldwide war.

The United States enforces the mark of papal authority, for the judgments of God had brought such a state of crisis in the United States leading up to the Sunday law, that the solution was offered that by returning to the god of Catholicism, the economic hardships that had been increasing would be ended. Yet at the Sunday law, the enemy that had snuck in under the lower wall, brings the judgment of national ruin.

ریاستہائے متحدہ پاپائی اقتدار کے نشان کو نافذ کرتا ہے، کیونکہ خدا کے فیصلوں نے ریاستہائے متحدہ میں اتنی سنگین بحرانی کیفیت پیدا کر دی تھی کہ اتوار کے قانون تک پہنچتے پہنچتے یہ حل پیش کیا گیا کہ کیتھولکیت کے معبود کی طرف رجوع کرنے سے وہ معاشی سختیاں، جو بڑھتی چلی جا رہی تھیں، ختم ہو جائیں گی۔ لیکن اتوار کے قانون کے وقت، وہ دشمن جو نچلی دیوار کے نیچے سے در آیا تھا، قومی تباہی کی عدالت لے آتا ہے۔

“And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated and upon grounds equally well established: ‘And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.’ 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God’s ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah.” The Great Controversy, 590.

“Na kisha yule mdanganyifu mkuu atawashawishi wanadamu kwamba wale wanaomtumikia Mungu ndio wanaosababisha maovu haya. Kundi lile lililoichochea chuki ya Mbinguni litawasingizia taabu zao zote wale ambao utii wao kwa amri za Mungu ni karipio la daima kwa wakosaji. Itatangazwa kwamba wanadamu wanamkosea Mungu kwa kuivunja sabato ya Jumapili; kwamba dhambi hii imeleta misiba ambayo haitakoma mpaka ushikaji wa Jumapili utekelezwe kwa ukali; na kwamba wale wanaowasilisha madai ya amri ya nne, hivyo wakiharibu heshima kwa Jumapili, ni wasumbufu wa watu, wakizuia kurejeshwa kwao katika kibali cha Mungu na ustawi wa kidunia. Hivyo shtaka lililotolewa zamani dhidi ya mtumishi wa Mungu litarudiwa tena, na kwa misingi iliyo thabiti sawasawa: ‘Ikawa, Ahabu alipomwona Eliya, Ahabu akamwambia, Je! ni wewe unayeitaabisha Israeli? Naye akajibu, Mimi sija itaabisha Israeli; bali ni wewe, na nyumba ya baba yako, kwa kuwa mmeziacha amri za Bwana, nawe umewafuata Mabaali.’ 1 Wafalme 18:17, 18. Ghadhabu ya watu itakapochochewa na mashitaka ya uongo, watawafuata wajumbe wa Mungu kwa mwenendo unaofanana sana na ule ambao Israeli iliyoasi ilimfuata Eliya.” The Great Controversy, 590.

In the “hour” of “the great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven, the “third Woe” of Islam, that is also the Seventh Trumpet then sounds, and it will anger the nations. That anger of the nations against Islam will be used to deceive the world into accepting the same empty promise that had just failed for the earth beast. The empty promise being; that by submitting to the authority of Catholicism, as represented by the mark of papal authority, that the increasing judgments of God would cease. That promise, already proven to be ineffective for the United States, will then be employed as a promise to the panicking world.

Í “tímanum” við „hin miklu landskjálfta“ í ellefta kafla Opinberunarbókarinnar hljómar þá „þriðja vei“ íslams, sem jafnframt er sjöunda básúnan, og hún mun reita þjóðirnar til reiði. Sú reiði þjóðanna gegn íslam verður notuð til að blekkja heiminn svo hann taki við sama innantóma fyrirheitinu og nýlega hafði brugðist fyrir dýrið af jörðinni. Hið innantóma fyrirheit er þetta: að með því að lúta valdi kaþólskunnar, eins og það birtist í merki páfavaldsins, myndu vaxandi dómar Guðs taka enda. Það fyrirheit, sem þegar hefur verið sannað áhrifalaust fyrir Bandaríkin, verður þá notað sem fyrirheit fyrir skelfingu lostinn heiminn.

It will be urged that if the nations of the world would only agree and allow the one-world government to be established for the purpose of addressing the warfare brought by Islam, stability would return. Islam is the power identified in the scriptures that brings every man together against Islam, but that coming together is the ultimate deception of the kings.

일찍이 이렇게 주장될 것이다. 곧 세상 나라들이 이슬람이 초래한 전쟁에 대처한다는 목적 아래 오직 서로 합의하여 세계 단일 정부가 수립되도록 허용하기만 한다면, 안정을 되찾게 되리라는 것이다. 성경에서 모든 사람을 이슬람에 맞서 함께 모이게 하는 세력으로 지목된 것은 이슬람이지만, 바로 그 함께 모임이 왕들에게는 궁극적인 기만이다.

And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:11, 12.

Ary ny anjelin’i Jehovah nanao taminy hoe: Indro, mitoe-jaza hianao ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary hataonao Ismaela ny anarany; fa Jehovah efa nandre ny fahorianao. Ary izy ho lehilahy dia; ny tànany hanohitra ny olona rehetra, ary ny tànan’ny olona rehetra hanohitra azy; ary honina eo anatrehan’ny rahalahiny rehetra izy. Genesisy 16:11, 12.

Ishmael is the spiritual father of the religion of Islam. It is true that Mohammed, the father of Islam did not arrive in history until the seventh century, but the ancient literal people are what God uses to represent the spiritual people in the last days.

Ишмаил е духовниот татко на религијата ислам. Вистина е дека Мухамед, таткото на исламот, не се појави во историјата сè до седмиот век, но древниот буквален народ е она што Бог го користи за да го претстави духовниот народ во последните денови.

Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them. Isaiah 44:6, 7.

Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Roi d’Israël, et son rédempteur, l’Éternel des armées : Je suis le premier, et je suis le dernier ; et hors moi il n’y a point de Dieu. Et qui, comme moi, appellera, le déclarera, et me l’exposera en ordre, depuis que j’ai établi le peuple ancien ? Et les choses à venir, et celles qui arriveront, qu’ils les leur annoncent. Ésaïe 44:6, 7.

Before Ishmael was born, he was named and his prophetic role was identified. His spiritual descendants’ hands would “be against every man, and every man’s hand” will be against “him.” And unlike the foolish teaching of progressive liberalism, the Bible teaches that Ishmael will “dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” They do not assimilate into the culture around them, but rather, many condemn it, protest against it and attack it. The spirit of Ishmael is that “he” would “be a wild man.” The idea that there exists a peaceful class of the Islamic faith is not sustained in God’s Word, nor in the Koran.

یشماعیل کے پیدا ہونے سے پہلے ہی اُس کا نام رکھا گیا اور اُس کے نبوتی کردار کی نشان دہی کر دی گئی۔ اُس کی روحانی نسل کی بابت کہا گیا کہ اُن کے ہاتھ “ہر ایک آدمی کے خلاف” ہوں گے، اور “ہر ایک آدمی کا ہاتھ” “اُس” کے خلاف ہوگا۔ اور ترقی پسند لبرل ازم کی احمقانہ تعلیم کے برخلاف، بائبل یہ تعلیم دیتی ہے کہ ایشماعیل “اپنے سب بھائیوں کے سامنے” بسا رہے گا۔ وہ اپنے گرد و پیش کی ثقافت میں مدغم نہیں ہوتے، بلکہ بہت سے لوگ اُسے ملامت کرتے ہیں، اُس کے خلاف احتجاج کرتے ہیں اور اُس پر حملہ آور ہوتے ہیں۔ ایشماعیل کی روح یہ ہے کہ “وہ” “جنگلی آدمی” ہوگا۔ یہ خیال کہ اسلامی ایمان میں ایک پُرامن طبقہ موجود ہے، نہ خدا کے کلام سے ثابت ہوتا ہے اور نہ قرآن سے۔

The deception of the two presidents and one hundred and twenty princes in Daniel chapter six, is identifying the deception that is brought upon the ten kings when they are led to believe the purpose and urgency for implementing a one-world government, under the control of Rome, is to address the escalating crisis of the Islamic warfare that is the “third Woe”. Once the image of the beast is set up and empowered to “speak,” the world will find out, too late, that the purposes of the papacy is to address those who uphold the seventh-day Sabbath (Daniel), not the enemy that snuck in through the unguarded southern wall.

Le leurre des deux présidents et des cent vingt princes, au chapitre six de Daniel, met en évidence la séduction qui s’exercera sur les dix rois lorsqu’on les amènera à croire que le but et l’urgence de l’instauration d’un gouvernement mondial unique, sous le contrôle de Rome, sont de répondre à la crise croissante de la guerre islamique qui constitue le « troisième malheur ». Une fois que l’image de la bête sera établie et rendue capable de « parler », le monde découvrira, trop tard, que les desseins de la papauté visent ceux qui observent le sabbat du septième jour (Daniel), et non l’ennemi qui s’est introduit furtivement par la muraille méridionale laissée sans garde.

“God’s word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution.” The Great Controversy, 581.

“Le verbe de Dieu a donné l’avertissement du danger imminent; que cet avertissement soit négligé, et le monde protestant apprendra quels sont réellement les desseins de Rome, seulement lorsqu’il sera trop tard pour échapper au piège. Elle croît silencieusement en puissance. Ses doctrines exercent leur influence dans les assemblées législatives, dans les Églises et dans le cœur des hommes. Elle élève ses structures hautes et massives, dans les retraites secrètes desquelles ses persécutions d’autrefois seront répétées. Furtivement et à l’insu de tous, elle fortifie ses forces afin de servir ses propres fins lorsque viendra pour elle le moment de frapper. Tout ce qu’elle désire, c’est une position avantageuse, et celle-ci lui est déjà accordée. Nous verrons bientôt, et nous sentirons, quel est le dessein de l’élément romain. Quiconque croira et obéira à la parole de Dieu encourra par là l’opprobre et la persécution.” The Great Controversy, 581.

The deception of the United Nations that is carried out by the papacy, that produces the vengeance of their hearts, is often illustrated in the Scriptures, and the story of Darius is a primary example of this truth. It is a deception that is accomplished first in the United States and then repeated upon the world. This truth is identified in the story of Elijah and Jezebel, then again in the story of John the Baptist and Herodias, as well as in the crucifixion of Christ. Islam’s angering of the nations is the ploy employed by the papal power that provides her the vantage ground for attacking Sabbath-keepers all around the world.

Ndanganyizo yeUnited Nations inoitwa nehupapa, inobudisa kutsiva kwemwoyo yavo, inowanzoratidzirwa muMagwaro, uye nyaya yaDhariusi muenzaniso mukuru wechokwadi ichi. Ndiyo ndanganyizo inotanga kuitwa muUnited States, yozodzokororwa panyika yose. Chokwadi ichi chinozivikanwa munyaya yaEria naJezebheri, uyezve munyaya yaJohane Mubhabhatidzi naHerodiasi, pamwe chete nepamuchinjikwa paKristu. Kutsamwiswa kwamarudzi neIslamu ndiro zano rinoshandiswa nesimba rehupapa rinomupa nzvimbo yakakwirira yokurwisa vanochengeta Sabata pasi pose.

The first mention of Islam is the introduction of Ishmael into the Scriptures, and the role identified of Islam at the end of the world that of putting the world into a universal panic so they will accept any proposal as a solution, is what allows the deception to be accomplished. The deception is what motivates the United Nations (the ten kings), to fulfill God’s will, and agree to give their kingdom (the seventh kingdom) unto the papacy (the beast).

Първото споменаване на исляма е въвеждането на Исмаил в Писанията, а ролята на исляма, определена за края на света — а именно да доведе света до всеобща паника, така че хората да приемат всяко предложение като решение — е онова, което позволява измамата да бъде осъществена. Именно измамата подтиква Обединените нации (десетте царе) да изпълнят Божията воля и да се съгласят да дадат своето царство (седмото царство) на папството (звяра).

The deception illustrated by Darius, and the other prophetic lines, includes the role of Islam angering the nations, the ultimate reason the papacy is destroyed by the United Nations, and just as significantly, it identifies the circumstances surrounding the enigma of the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven being put in place as the head of modern Babylon.

Madangadang a panangallilaw a nailadawan ken Dario, ken dagiti dadduma pay a linia ti padto, ket iramanna ti papel ti Islam a mangpungtot kadagiti nasnacion, ti namimpinsan a gapu no apay a madadael ti kinapapadi ti papa babaen kadagiti Nagkaykaysa a Nacion, ken kasta met a napateg, ilasinna dagiti kasasaad a manglikmut iti palimed ti maikawalo a pagarian, a naggapu iti pito, a maipasdek kas ulo ti modernong Babilonia.

Daniel in the lion’s den is a very complex prophetic representation, but the understanding is only available when the methodology of “line upon line,” is applied.

Daniel dans la fosse aux lions constitue une représentation prophétique très complexe, mais sa compréhension n’est accessible que lorsque la méthodologie du « ligne sur ligne » est appliquée.

We will continue Daniel chapter six in the next article.
