The prophetic framework applied by William Miller was the structure of the two desolating powers of pagan Rome followed by papal Rome. The prophetic framework applied by Future for America is the structure of the three desolating powers of pagan Rome followed by papal Rome and then apostate Protestantism. The three manifestations of Rome are those three desolating powers of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. That framework was recognized in a large part by the resistance brought against the light of the last six verses of Daniel chapter eleven, that was unsealed at the time of the end in 1989.

Ang balangkas na panghula na inilapat ni William Miller ay ang kayarian ng dalawang kapangyarihang mapanira: ang paganong Roma na sinundan ng papal na Roma. Ang balangkas na panghula na inilapat ng Future for America ay ang kayarian ng tatlong kapangyarihang mapanira: ang paganong Roma na sinundan ng papal na Roma at pagkatapos ay ang tumalikod na Protestantismo. Ang tatlong pagpapakita ng Roma ay yaong tatlong kapangyarihang mapanira ng dragon, ng hayop, at ng bulaang propeta. Ang balangkas na iyon ay kinilala sa malaking bahagi sa pamamagitan ng pagsalungat na iniharap laban sa liwanag ng huling anim na talata ng Daniel kabanata labing-isa, na binuksan nang ang wakas ng panahon ay dumating noong 1989.

The first two manifestations of Rome identify the prophetic makeup of modern Rome, the third and last manifestation of Rome. Modern Rome identifies the structure of the final threefold persecuting power of the last days. Closely related, but distinctly different is the three manifestations of Babylon. The first was Nimrod’s Babel. The second was Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar’s Babylon. Together those two prophetic witnesses identify the prophetic characteristics of modern Babylon. Though at one level modern Rome and modern Babylon are the same entity, the three manifestations of Babylon are identifying the final fall of Babylon, and the arrogance of the man of sin.

The fall of Babylon is a large and specific subject in Bible prophecy, as is the arrogance of the pope of Rome. In Revelation chapter seventeen, one of the angels who pours out the seven last plagues comes to specifically identify the judgment of Babylon, which is another expression of her fall.

La chute de Babylone est un sujet vaste et précis dans la prophétie biblique, tout comme l’arrogance du pape de Rome. Au chapitre dix-sept de l’Apocalypse, l’un des anges qui versent les sept dernières plaies vient désigner expressément le jugement de Babylone, ce qui constitue une autre expression de sa chute.

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:1–3.

Nuko haza umwe wo muri ba bamarayika barindwi bafite za nzabya ndwi, arambwira ati: Ngwino hano; ndakwereka urubanza rw’iyo maraya ikomeye yicaye ku mazi menshi; iyo abami bo mu isi basambanije na yo, kandi abatuye isi bagasindishwa n’umuvinyo w’ubusambanyi bwayo. Nuko anjyana mu buryo bw’Umwuka anjyana mu butayu; mbona umugore yicaye ku nyamaswa itukura, yuzuye amazina yo gutuka Imana, ifite imitwe irindwi n’amahembe icumi. Ibyahishuwe 17:1–3.

The work of the angel is to show John the judgment of the woman who has “MYSTERY BABYLON” written upon her forehead.

Le ministère de l’ange est de montrer à Jean le jugement de la femme qui porte écrit sur son front : « MYSTÈRE, BABYLONE ».

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:4–6.

Et la femme était vêtue de pourpre et d’écarlate, et parée d’or, de pierres précieuses et de perles, tenant dans sa main une coupe d’or, pleine des abominations et des impuretés de sa fornication. Et sur son front était écrit un nom : MYSTÈRE, BABYLONE LA GRANDE, LA MÈRE DES PROSTITUÉES ET DES ABOMINATIONS DE LA TERRE. Et je vis cette femme ivre du sang des saints et du sang des martyrs de Jésus ; et, quand je la vis, je fus saisi d’un grand étonnement. Apocalypse 17:4–6.

The geopolitical apparatus which the papacy employs in the last days to persecute those she deems are heretics is represented by “a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” The fact that she is riding upon the beast shows that she is in control of the beast, as is a rider upon a horse.

Bộ máy địa chính trị mà giáo hoàng quyền sử dụng trong những ngày sau rốt để bức hại những kẻ mà nó cho là dị giáo được tượng trưng bởi “một con thú sắc đỏ điều, đầy những danh hiệu phạm thượng, có bảy đầu và mười sừng.” Việc nó cưỡi trên con thú cho thấy rằng nó kiểm soát con thú ấy, như kẻ cưỡi kiểm soát con ngựa.

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:8.

Et la femme que tu as vue, c’est la grande ville qui règne sur les rois de la terre. Apocalypse 17:8.

The “scarlet colored beast with seven heads and ten horns” is modern Rome, and represents the geopolitical structure the woman employs as she persecutes God’s faithful in the last days. The woman is modern Babylon, the great city that commits fornication and rules over the kings of the earth. The first two manifestations of Babylon represented by Babel in Genesis chapter eleven, and Babylon in Daniel chapters four and five, describe the arrogance and the fall of modern Babylon in the last days. The woman who is judged in Revelation chapter seventeen, is modern Babylon, and the beast she reigns over is modern Rome. She has committed fornication with the kings, and together they are one flesh.

La « bête écarlate, ayant sept têtes et dix cornes », c’est la Rome moderne, et elle représente la structure géopolitique dont la femme se sert lorsqu’elle persécute les fidèles de Dieu dans les derniers jours. La femme, c’est la Babylone moderne, la grande ville qui se prostitue et qui règne sur les rois de la terre. Les deux premières manifestations de Babylone, représentées par Babel au chapitre onze de la Genèse, et par Babylone aux chapitres quatre et cinq de Daniel, décrivent l’arrogance et la chute de la Babylone moderne dans les derniers jours. La femme qui est jugée au chapitre dix-sept de l’Apocalypse, c’est la Babylone moderne, et la bête sur laquelle elle règne, c’est la Rome moderne. Elle s’est prostituée avec les rois, et ensemble ils sont une seule chair.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24.

C’est pourquoi l’homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s’attachera à sa femme; et ils deviendront une seule chair. Genèse 2:24.

Though they are one, certain prophetic elements of modern Rome and modern Babylon are isolated in God’s Word. The story of modern Babylon, as established by the two witnesses of Babel and Babylon is about her arrogance, and her final fall. In the last six verses of Daniel eleven, the king of the north is used to represent the papacy. The pope of Rome is Satan’s earthly representative.

Хотя они составляют одно целое, в Слове Божьем выделены некоторые пророческие особенности современного Рима и современного Вавилона. История современного Вавилона, утверждённая двумя свидетелями — Вавелем и Вавилоном, — повествует о его надменности и его окончательном падении. В последних шести стихах одиннадцатой главы книги Даниила царь северный используется как образ папства. Папа римский — земной представитель сатаны.

“To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.

«Для здобуття земних прибутків і почестей церкву спонукали шукати прихильності та підтримки великих світу цього; і, відкинувши таким чином Христа, вона була приведена до того, щоб підкоритися представникові сатани — єпископу Риму». Велика боротьба, 50.

Satan wished to be God, and his desire was to take God’s political and religious thrones.

Shaitani alitaka kuwa Mungu, na shauku yake ilikuwa kuyatwaa viti vya enzi vya Mungu vya kisiasa na vya kidini.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isaiah 14:12–14.

Comment es-tu tombé du ciel, ô Lucifer, fils de l’aurore ! Comment as-tu été abattu à terre, toi qui affaiblissais les nations ! Car tu disais en ton cœur : Je monterai au ciel, j’élèverai mon trône au-dessus des étoiles de Dieu ; je siégerai aussi sur la montagne de l’assemblée, aux extrémités du septentrion ; je monterai au-dessus des hauteurs des nuées ; je serai semblable au Très-Haut. Ésaïe 14:12–14.

Satan desired to exalt his throne (which is a symbol of kingly rule), “above the stars of God.” The stars of God are the angels, and represent the machinery of God’s government. Satan desired to “also” be seated “upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.” The congregation is the Church, and it is located in Jerusalem, which is in the sides of the north. To be seated upon a throne in “sides of the north,” is to be king of the north. Christ is the true King of the North, who also is King over the government of God. Satan desired to “be like the most High.”

Satan berkeinginan untuk meninggikan takhtanya (yang merupakan lambang pemerintahan kerajaan), “di atas bintang-bintang Allah.” Bintang-bintang Allah adalah para malaikat, dan melambangkan perangkat pemerintahan Allah. Satan juga berkeinginan untuk duduk “di atas gunung perkumpulan, di sebelah utara.” Perkumpulan itu adalah Jemaat, dan terletak di Yerusalem, yang berada di sebelah utara. Duduk di atas takhta di “sebelah utara” berarti menjadi raja di utara. Kristus adalah Raja Utara yang sejati, yang juga adalah Raja atas pemerintahan Allah. Satan berkeinginan untuk “menjadi seperti Yang Mahatinggi.”

A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Psalm 48:1–3.

Zabur na Wimbo kwa wana wa Kora. Bwana ni mkuu, naye anastahili kusifiwa sana katika mji wa Mungu wetu, katika mlima wa utakatifu wake. Ni mzuri kwa hali yake, furaha ya dunia yote, ndio mlima Sayuni, pande za kaskazini, mji wa Mfalme mkuu. Mungu anajulikana katika majumba yake ya kifalme kuwa kimbilio. Zaburi 48:1–3.

The earthly representative of Satan is the bishop of Rome (the pope). In the last six verses of Daniel eleven, the final rise and fall of the pope of Rome is portrayed, and the pope is there represented as the king of the north. He is the head of the Catholic church, and the word “catholic” means universal. In order for Satan to counterfeit Christ’s two thrones (political and religious), Satan created the Catholic church for the purpose of having a worldwide religious system when he begins his personation of Christ in the last days.

Rêveberdara erdî ya Şeytanê episkopê Romayê ye (pap). Di şeş ayetên dawîn ên Daniel yanzdehan de, rabûn û ketina dawîn a papê Romayê tê nîşandan, û li wir pap wek padîşahê bakur tê temsîlkirin. Ew serokê Dêra Katolîk e, û peyva “katolîk” maneya gerdûnî dide. Ji bo ku Şeytan du textên Mesîh (siyasî û olî) sexte bike, Şeytan Dêra Katolîk afirand da ku pergala olî ya cîhanî hebe gava ku ew di rojên dawîn de dest bi xweşandanê xwe ya Mesîh dike.

“This compromise between paganism and Christianity resulted in the development of ‘the man of sin’ foretold in prophecy as opposing and exalting himself above God. That gigantic system of false religion is a masterpiece of Satan’s power—a monument of his efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule the earth according to his will.” The Great Controversy, 50.

« Cette compromission entre le paganisme et le christianisme aboutit au développement de “l’homme de péché”, annoncé dans la prophétie comme s’opposant à Dieu et s’élevant au-dessus de lui. Ce gigantesque système de fausse religion est un chef-d’œuvre de la puissance de Satan — un monument de ses efforts pour s’asseoir sur le trône afin de gouverner la terre selon sa volonté. » The Great Controversy, 50.

Satan constructed a worldwide religious system and also a worldwide political structure, for the purpose of counterfeiting the two thrones of authority that the true King of the North is seated upon. The ten kings of Revelation seventeen, with whom the whore commits fornication and rules over in the last days, represents the beast with seven heads and ten horns, that is reigned over by the woman who has BABYLON written on her forehead. In chapter seventeen the ten kings “hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” Thus, her judgment is portrayed. The three manifestations of Babylon are identifying the final fall of Babylon. The three manifestations of Rome are identifying the political structure she reigns over.

Satan a bâti un système religieux mondial ainsi qu’une structure politique mondiale, dans le but de contrefaire les deux trônes d’autorité sur lesquels siège le véritable roi du Nord. Les dix rois d’Apocalypse dix-sept, avec lesquels la prostituée se livre à la fornication et sur lesquels elle règne dans les derniers jours, représentent la bête à sept têtes et dix cornes, sur laquelle règne la femme qui porte écrit sur son front BABYLONE. Au chapitre dix-sept, les dix rois « haïront la prostituée, la rendront désolée et nue, mangeront ses chairs, et la consumeront par le feu ». Ainsi, son jugement est dépeint. Les trois manifestations de Babylone identifient la chute finale de Babylone. Les trois manifestations de Rome identifient la structure politique sur laquelle elle règne.

The three angels’ messages of Revelation chapter fourteen address the final fall of modern Babylon, as does Daniel chapter eleven, verses forty-four and forty-five. Her final fall is referenced in chapter seventeen of Revelation, but it is even more specifically detailed in chapter eighteen. Daniel eleven’s portrayal of modern Babylon’s final fall, accompanied with the illustration of chapter fourteen’s three angels, and chapters seventeen and eighteen’s description of the final fall, are to be brought together, line upon line. In Daniel eleven, modern Babylon’s final fall is identified as occurring with her receiving no help.

प्रकाशितवाक्य अध्याय चौदह के तीन स्वर्गदूतों के संदेश आधुनिक बाबुल के अंतिम पतन को संबोधित करते हैं, जैसे दानिय्येल अध्याय ग्यारह, पद चवालीस और पैंतालीस भी करते हैं। उसके अंतिम पतन का उल्लेख प्रकाशितवाक्य के अध्याय सत्रह में किया गया है, परन्तु उसका और भी अधिक विशिष्ट विवरण अध्याय अठारह में दिया गया है। दानिय्येल ग्यारह में आधुनिक बाबुल के अंतिम पतन का चित्रण, अध्याय चौदह के तीन स्वर्गदूतों के दृष्टांत के साथ, और अध्याय सत्रह तथा अठारह में अंतिम पतन के वर्णन के साथ, पंक्ति पर पंक्ति, एक साथ लाया जाना है। दानिय्येल ग्यारह में, आधुनिक बाबुल का अंतिम पतन इस रूप में पहचाना गया है कि उसे कोई सहायता नहीं मिलती।

And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. Daniel 11:45.

Και θέλει φυτεύσει τας σκηνάς του ανακτόρου αυτού μεταξύ των θαλασσών εν τω ενδόξω αγίω όρει· πλην θέλει έλθει εις το τέλος αυτού, και ουδείς θέλει βοηθήσει αυτόν. Δανιήλ 11:45.

In the next verse Michael stands up and human probation closes. The verse begins by stating, “And at that time.” When modern Babylon falls, human probation closes, and she dies alone. The third angel identifies the close of probation because it identifies that the world has been divided into two classes of people, those who have the mark of the beast and those who have the seal of God. At that time, God’s wrath is poured out upon modern Babylon, and those who have accepted the mark of her authority.

Kha nga chang taah Michael a ding lang a, mihingte’ hun tawpna hong tung hi. Taang in, “Huaicih hun ah” ci-in a kipan hi. Tulai Babylon a puk ciangin, mihingte’ hun tawpna a khum a, amah inkuan in a si hi. Vantung sawmthumna pa in hun tawpna hong theisak hi; banghang hiam cihleh leitung mite pen mi phaknih in a kikhen zo hi: gamsa’ melchik nei mite leh Pasian’ seal nei mite. Huaicih hun ah, Pasian’ thangsiatna pen tulai Babylon tungah leh ama’ thuneihna melchik sangte tungah a buak hi.

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 for ever 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. Revelation 14:9–12.

Y el tercer ángel los siguió, diciendo a gran voz: Si alguno adora a la bestia y a su imagen, y recibe su marca en la frente o en la mano, él también beberá del vino de la ira de Dios, vertido puro en la copa de su indignación; y será atormentado con fuego y azufre delante de los santos ángeles y delante del Cordero. Y el humo de su tormento sube por los siglos de los siglos; y no tienen reposo ni de día ni de noche los que adoran a la bestia y a su imagen, y cualquiera que reciba la marca de su nombre. Aquí está la paciencia de los santos; aquí están los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios y la fe de Jesús. Apocalipsis 14:9–12.

In Revelation chapter eighteen, the judgment of the great whore is represented as a progressive judgment that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law, when the second voice calls God’s other flock out of Babylon. By verse twenty-one, the close of probation is marked, thus identifying a period from the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States until Michael stands up is a period of time that modern Babylon’s judgment is brought about, during a time of great persecution.

Dans le chapitre dix-huit de l’Apocalypse, le jugement de la grande prostituée est présenté comme un jugement progressif qui commence lors de la loi dominicale imminente, lorsque la seconde voix appelle l’autre troupeau de Dieu à sortir de Babylone. Au verset vingt et un, la fin du temps de grâce est marquée, identifiant ainsi une période allant de la loi dominicale imminente aux États-Unis jusqu’au moment où Michel se lèvera, période durant laquelle le jugement de la Babylone moderne s’accomplit, au sein d’un temps de grande persécution.

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Revelation 18:21–24.

Ndipo mngelo wamphamvu anatenga mwala wofanana ndi mphero yayikulu, nakuponyera m’nyanja, nati, Motero ndi chiwawa mudzaponyeledwa pansi mzinda waukuluwo, Babulo, ndipo sudzapezekanso konse. Ndipo mawu a oyimba azeze, ndi a oyimba nyimbo, ndi a oyimba zitoliro, ndi a oyimba malipenga, sadzamvekanso konse mwa iwe; ndipo waluso aliyense, wa luso lililonse limene ali nalo, sadzapezekanso mwa iwe; ndipo phokoso la mphero silidzamvekanso konse mwa iwe; Ndipo kuwala kwa nyali sikudzaunikanso konse mwa iwe; ndipo mawu a mkwati ndi a mkwatibwi sadzamvekanso konse mwa iwe: pakuti amalonda ako anali akuluakulu a dziko lapansi; pakuti mwa ufiti wako mitundu yonse ya anthu inanyengedwa. Ndipo mwa iye munapezedwa mwazi wa aneneri, ndi wa oyera mtima, ndi wa onse amene anaphedwa pa dziko lapansi. Chivumbulutso 18:21–24.

The casting down of the stone, the silencing of the musicians and workers, the extinguishing of the candle, the silencing of the voices of the bride and bridegroom are all expressions taken from the Old Testament that represent the close of probation.

When Daniel chapter eleven, is prophetically laid upon Revelation chapters thirteen and fourteen, and then those two passages are laid upon chapters seventeen and eighteen of Revelation we find three lines of prophecy that, among other truths, represent the final fall of modern Babylon. Each of the three lines represent one of the threefold powers that lead the world to Armageddon. Daniel chapter eleven is identifying the beast (the papacy). Revelation chapters thirteen and fourteen, present the same history, but from the perspective of the false prophet (the United States). Revelation chapters seventeen and eighteen, identify the same prophetic line, but the history there represented is focused upon the dragon (the United Nations).

Lorsque le chapitre onze de Daniel est appliqué, d’un point de vue prophétique, aux chapitres treize et quatorze de l’Apocalypse, puis que ces deux passages sont appliqués aux chapitres dix-sept et dix-huit de l’Apocalypse, nous trouvons trois lignes de prophétie qui, parmi d’autres vérités, représentent la chute finale de Babylone moderne. Chacune de ces trois lignes représente l’une des trois puissances triples qui conduisent le monde à Armageddon. Le chapitre onze de Daniel identifie la bête (la papauté). Les chapitres treize et quatorze de l’Apocalypse présentent la même histoire, mais du point de vue du faux prophète (les États-Unis). Les chapitres dix-sept et dix-huit de l’Apocalypse identifient la même ligne prophétique, mais l’histoire qui y est représentée est centrée sur le dragon (les Nations unies).

Each of the three lines begin at the time of the end in 1798. Verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven begins with the words, “And at the time of the end.” The “time of the end” in the beginning of the verse is 1798, and when the verse was fulfilled in 1989, it was also the “time of the end,” for Jesus illustrates the end with the beginning when He wishes to place His signature upon an important fact. Sister White informs us that chapter thirteen of Revelation also begins in 1798.

هر یک از این سه خط در زمانِ آخر در سال ۱۷۹۸ آغاز می‌شود. آیهٔ چهلم از فصل یازدهم دانیال با این عبارت آغاز می‌شود: «و در زمانِ آخر». «زمانِ آخر» در آغازِ آیه، سال ۱۷۹۸ است، و هنگامی که این آیه در سال ۱۹۸۹ تحقق یافت، آن نیز «زمانِ آخر» بود؛ زیرا عیسی، هرگاه بخواهد امضای خود را بر حقیقتی مهم بنهد، پایان را با آغاز به تصویر می‌کشد. خواهر وایت به ما اطلاع می‌دهد که فصل سیزدهم مکاشفه نیز در سال ۱۷۹۸ آغاز می‌شود.

“And when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

«Na mgbe ọchịchị Pope, e wepụrụ ya ike ya, ma manye ya ịkwụsị mkpagbu, Jọn hụrụ ike ọhụrụ ka ọ na-apụta iji kwughachi olu dragọn ahụ, ma gaa n’ihu n’ọrụ ahụ otu a nke obi ọjọọ na nkwulu Chineke. Ike a, nke ikpeazụ ga-alụ ọgụ megide nzukọ Kraịst na iwu Chineke, e gosiri ya n’akara site n’anụ ọhịa nwere mpi dịka nke nwa atụrụ.» Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

The line of prophecy that begins in verse forty of Daniel eleven in 1798, continues until human probation closes when Michael stands up. The line of prophecy that begins in 1798, “when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution,” and it ends with God’s wrath being poured upon those who have accepted the “mark” of papal authority. In Revelation chapter seventeen, when the angel comes to John to show him the judgment of the papal whore, John is carried to the very end of the “wilderness,” that represents the history of the year 538 unto 1798. Spiritually placed in 1798, John records the judgment of modern Babylon, that begins with the second voice of Revelation eighteen, which announces that the papacy has filled the cup of her probationary time, and her judgment then continues until probation closes as the millstone is cast into the sea.

Line upon line, these three lines identify the final fall of modern Babylon, who has committed fornication with the kings of modern Rome. Daniel eleven is a witness of the papacy, represented as the king of the north. Revelation thirteen and fourteen is a witness of the false prophet, and chapters seventeen and eighteen witness to the role of the dragon (the ten kings). The prophetic framework employed by Future for America is based upon the three powers that lead the world to Armageddon.

บรรทัดซ้อนบรรทัด ทั้งสามบรรทัดนี้ชี้ระบุถึงการล่มสลายครั้งสุดท้ายของบาบิโลนสมัยใหม่ ผู้ซึ่งได้กระทำการล่วงประเวณีกับบรรดากษัตริย์แห่งโรมสมัยใหม่ ดาเนียลบทที่สิบเอ็ดเป็นพยานถึงอำนาจพระสันตะปาปา ซึ่งได้รับการแทนไว้ว่าเป็นกษัตริย์ฝ่ายเหนือ วิวรณ์บทที่สิบสามและสิบสี่เป็นพยานถึงผู้เผยพระวจนะเทียมเท็จ และบทที่สิบเจ็ดกับสิบแปดเป็นพยานถึงบทบาทของพญานาค (กษัตริย์สิบองค์) โครงสร้างเชิงพยากรณ์ที่ Future for America ใช้นั้นตั้งอยู่บนอำนาจทั้งสามซึ่งนำโลกไปสู่อาร์มาเกดดอน

The two witnesses of Babel and Babylon identify the prophetic characteristics of modern Babylon. Those two witnesses speak of the arrogance of a papal leader, who professes to be Christian and seats himself in the temple of God, and proclaims himself to be God. Those two witnesses also identify his final fall. The pope’s self-exaltation and final fall as represented in the three manifestations of Babylon are what establishes the vision of prophetic history.

Maboko mibale ya Babel mpe Babilone emonisi bizaleli ya esakweli ya Babilone ya mikolo na biso. Maboko wana mibale elobeli lolendo ya mokambi moko ya bopapa, oyo andimaka ete azali Moklisto mpe amibokoli na tempelo ya Nzambe, mpe amimonisaka ete azali Nzambe. Maboko wana mibale emonisi mpe kokweya na ye ya nsuka. Komitombola ya pope mpe kokweya na ye ya nsuka, ndenge emonisami na bimoniseli misato ya Babilone, yango nde etongaka emonaneli ya lisolo ya esakweli.

And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. Daniel 11:14.

Et en ce temps-là, plusieurs s’élèveront contre le roi du midi; et les violents de ton peuple se soulèveront pour accomplir la vision; mais ils tomberont. Daniel 11:14.

We will continue our consideration of the three manifestations of Babylon in the next article.

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. Revelation 18:4–8.

Puis j’entendis du ciel une autre voix, qui disait : Sortez du milieu d’elle, mon peuple, afin que vous ne participiez point à ses péchés, et que vous n’ayez point de part à ses fléaux. Car ses péchés se sont accumulés jusqu’au ciel, et Dieu s’est souvenu de ses iniquités. Traitez-la comme elle vous a traités, et rendez-lui au double selon ses œuvres ; dans la coupe où elle a versé, versez-lui au double. Autant elle s’est glorifiée et s’est livrée aux délices, autant donnez-lui de tourment et de deuil. Car elle dit en son cœur : Je suis assise en reine, je ne suis point veuve, et je ne verrai point de deuil. C’est pourquoi, en un seul jour, ses fléaux viendront, la mort, le deuil et la famine ; et elle sera entièrement consumée par le feu. Car il est puissant, le Seigneur Dieu qui l’a jugée. Apocalypse 18:4–8.
