In the book of Ezekiel, the ‘siege’ of Jerusalem is the ‘sign’ that is the test by which our eternal destiny will be decided, for it marks the formation of the image of the beast.
کتابِ حزقی ایل میں یروشلم کا ’محاصرہ‘ وہ ’نشان‘ ہے جو وہ آزمائش ہے جس کے ذریعہ ہماری ابدی تقدیر کا فیصلہ کیا جائے گا، کیونکہ یہ حیوان کی شبیہ کی تشکیل کو ظاہر کرتا ہے۔
“The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. …
„Rab mi a yafɔre no mu mfonini no bɛyɛ ansa na ahokyerɛbere no atwam; efisɛ ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ sɔhwɛ kɛse no ama Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo, na ɛno so na wobegyina asi wɔn daa nkwa anaa wɔn ɔsɛe ho gyinae. …”
“This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.
«Ceci est l’épreuve que le peuple de Dieu doit subir avant d’être scellé. Tous ceux qui auront prouvé leur fidélité à Dieu en observant sa loi et en refusant d’accepter un faux sabbat se rangeront sous la bannière du Seigneur Dieu Jéhovah et recevront le sceau du Dieu vivant. Ceux qui abandonnent la vérité d’origine céleste et acceptent le sabbat du dimanche recevront la marque de la bête.» Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.
The Christians that fled Jerusalem at the ‘sign’ of Cestius, did so because they had been forewarned and recognized the ‘sign’ when it arrived. Recognizing the formation of the image of the beast is to recognize the “events,” “preparations” and “movements” that lead to the Sunday law. The prophetic elements that make up the ‘sign’ must be understood in advance of the sign. When Cestius began the siege it was too late to learn what the sign was.
Yerusalemuus jalaa kan Kiristiyaanota mallattoo Cestiusitti baqatan, akkas kan godhan dursee akeekkachiifamanii yeroo inni dhufe mallattoo sana beekaniifi. Uumamuu fakkeenya bineensichaa hubachuun jechuun “taateewwan,” “qophiiwwan,” fi “sochiiwwan” seera Dilbataa geessan beekuu dha.

“Already preparations are advancing, and movements are in progress, which will result in making an image to the beast. Events will be brought about in the earth’s history that will fulfill the predictions of prophecy for these last days.” Review and Herald, April 23, 1889.
«آمادهسازیها هماکنون در حال پیشرفت است، و حرکتهایی در جریان است که به ساختن تصویری برای وحش خواهد انجامید. در تاریخ زمین رویدادهایی پدید خواهد آمد که پیشگوییهای نبوت را برای این ایام آخر به تحقق خواهد رسانید.» Review and Herald، 23 آوریل 1889.
Preparations, Movements and Events
Préparatifs, mouvements et événements
The “preparations,” “movements” and “events” must be recognized in advance of the test.

“All that God has in prophetic history specified to be fulfilled in the past has been, and all that is yet to come in its order will be. Daniel, God’s prophet, stands in his place. John stands in his place. In the Revelation the Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the students of prophecy the book of Daniel, and thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears his testimony, that which the Lord revealed to him in vision of the great and solemn events which we must know as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.
«Tout ce que Dieu, dans l’histoire prophétique, a spécifié devoir s’accomplir dans le passé, s’est accompli; et tout ce qui doit encore venir, dans son ordre, viendra. Daniel, prophète de Dieu, se tient à sa place. Jean se tient à sa place. Dans l’Apocalypse, le Lion de la tribu de Juda a ouvert aux étudiants de la prophétie le livre de Daniel; ainsi Daniel se tient-il à sa place. Il rend son témoignage, celui que le Seigneur lui a révélé en vision au sujet des événements grands et solennels que nous devons connaître, tandis que nous nous tenons sur le seuil même de leur accomplissement. »
“In history and prophecy the Word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been, will be repeated.” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.
“तारीख़ और नुबुव्वत में ख़ुदा का कलाम हक़ और ग़लती के दरमियान जारी रहने वाली तवील कशमकश को पेश करता है। यह कशमकश अब भी जारी है। जो बातें पहले हो चुकी हैं, वे दोहराई जाएँगी।” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.
We “must know” “the great and solemn events as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.” The threshold identifies our need to understand the events in advance of their fulfilment.
موږ «باید وپېژنو» «ستر او جدي پېښې، په داسې حال کې چې موږ د هغو د پوره کېدو پر هماغه درشل ولاړ یو.» دا درشل زموږ اړتیا څرګندوي چې دغه پېښې باید له خپل پوره کېدو مخکې درک کړو.
“But the stern tracings of the prophetic pencil reveal a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamb-like horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ The spirit of persecution manifested by paganism and the papacy is again to be revealed. Prophecy declares that this power will say ‘to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ [Revelation 13:14.] The image is made to the first or leopard-like beast, which is the one brought to view in the third angel’s message. By this first beast is represented the Roman Church, an ecclesiastical body clothed with civil power, having authority to punish all dissenters. The image to the beast represents another religious body clothed with similar power. The formation of this image is the work of that beast whose peaceful rise and mild professions render it so striking a symbol of the United States. Here is to be found an image of the papacy. When the churches of our land, uniting upon such points of faith as are held by them in common, shall influence the State to enforce their decrees and sustain their institutions, then will Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy. Then the true church will be assailed by persecution, as were God’s ancient people. Almost every century furnishes examples of what bigotry and malice can do under a plea of serving God by protecting the rights of Church and State. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. In the seventeenth century thousands of non-conformist ministers suffered under the rule of the Church of England. Persecution always follows religious favoritism on the part of secular governments.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 277.

The formation of the image of the beast is accomplished first in the United States, and thereafter in the world.

The Edict of Milan in 313 represents the starting of the formation, and also identifies the closed door for Seventh-day Adventists. Constantine of the west and Licinius of the east attached a treaty marriage to the Edict, when Constantine gave his half-sister Constantia to Licinius in the fourth treaty marriage represented in a prophetic line of the six treaty marriages within the prophetic history of Daniel eleven. The first two were associated with wars between the north and south, the next two were civil wars between east and west and the last two are symbolic marriages of the papal church power and state power.

Antiochus II Theos set aside his wife Laodice I to marry the Ptolemaic princess Berenice (daughter of Ptolemy II) around 252 BC. The treaty marriages of the Seleucid Empire were accomplished between the king of the north and the king of the south, whereas; the treaty marriage of 313 was between the emperor of the east and the emperor of the west.
安条克二世·狄奥斯于约公元前252年废黜其妻劳狄刻一世，转而迎娶托勒密王朝的公主贝勒尼刻（托勒密二世之女）。塞琉古帝国的和约婚姻乃是在北方王与南方王之间缔结的；而313年的和约婚姻则是在东方皇帝与西方皇帝之间缔结的。
The treaty marriage of Antiochus II Theos in 252 BC, represented the beginning of the Seleucid Empire that reached its conclusion as an empire in the history represented in verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven. In the final history of the Seleucid empire another treaty marriage was accomplished by Antiochus III the Great, when he gave his daughter Cleopatra I Syra, (the very first Cleopatra of prophetic history) to Ptolemy V in 193 BC. At the time Ptolemy V was about 16 and Cleopatra I Syra about 10 years old. Their marriage was a diplomatic settlement after the fifth Syrian war. The alpha treaty marriage between the king of the north and south in Daniel eleven had marked the end of the second Syrian war.
252 av. J.-C., le mariage d’alliance d’Antiochos II Théos représenta le commencement de l’Empire séleucide, lequel parvint à sa conclusion en tant qu’empire dans l’histoire décrite aux versets dix à seize de Daniel onze. Dans l’histoire finale de l’Empire séleucide, un autre mariage d’alliance fut accompli par Antiochos III le Grand, lorsqu’il donna sa fille Cléopâtre I Syra, (la toute première Cléopâtre de l’histoire prophétique) à Ptolémée V en 193 av. J.-C. À cette époque, Ptolémée V avait environ seize ans et Cléopâtre I Syra environ dix ans. Leur mariage constitua un règlement diplomatique après la cinquième guerre de Syrie. Le mariage d’alliance alpha entre le roi du nord et le roi du sud dans Daniel onze avait marqué la fin de la deuxième guerre de Syrie.
The last Cleopatra of prophetic history interacted with both Julius Caesar and thereafter with Mark Antony. After the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC the second Triumvirate was formed in 43 BC. Three men made up the triumvirate and after one of those three, Marcus Lepidus was forced out of the threefold union by Octavian, a power struggle between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west ensued. At Brundisium, in 40 BC a treaty between the two eastern and western rivals was made. The treaty included the marriage between Octavian’s sister Octavia and Mark Antony. The treaty and accompanying marriage did not hold, and after Mark Antony became involved with Cleopatra, he divorced Octavia in 32 BC. At the battle of Actium in 31 BC, the empires of east and west were consolidated into one power, and Octavian thereafter became Augustus Caesar, the symbol of the height of Roman glory and power.

Prophetically the first treaty marriage of Daniel eleven was between the kings of the north and south in an attempt to end hostilities between the two combatants who were struggling to re-establish the empire of Alexander the Great. That first treaty marriage between the Seleucids and the Ptolemy’s of Egypt was the alpha treaty marriage of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms, which typified the omega treaty marriage between the same two powers. In the last or omega treaty marriage, the very first or alpha Cleopatra of Egyptian history became the prophetic link to the last, or omega Cleopatra; whose relationship with Mark Antony became the point of reference for the divorce of Octavia and Mark Antony. The divorce marked the renewed hostilities between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west which ended at the battle of Actium in 31 BC.
تبليغياً كان أولُ زواجِ معاهدةٍ في دانيال الإصحاح الحادي عشر بينَ ملكَي الشمال والجنوب، في محاولةٍ لوضع حدٍّ للأعمال العدائية بين المتحاربَين اللذين كانا يكافحان لإعادة تأسيس إمبراطورية الإسكندر الأكبر. وكان زواجُ المعاهدة الأول ذاك بين السلوقيين والبطالمةِ في مصر هو زواجَ المعاهدة الألفيَّ لمملكتي السلوقيين والبطالمة، الذي مثَّل زواجَ المعاهدة الأوميغي بين القوتين نفسَيهما. وفي زواج المعاهدة الأخير، أو الأوميغي، أصبحت كليوباترا الأولى في تاريخ مصر، وهي ذاتها الأولى أو الألفية، الحلقةَ النبوية التي تصل إلى كليوباترا الأخيرة، أو الأوميغية؛ التي صارت علاقتها بمرقس أنطونيوس نقطةَ الإشارة إلى طلاق أوكتافيا ومرقس أنطونيوس. وقد مثَّل ذلك الطلاقُ تجددَ الأعمال العدائية بين مرقس أنطونيوس في الشرق وأوكتافيانوس في الغرب، وهي التي انتهت في معركة أكتيوم سنة 31 ق.م.
The treaty marriage of Brundisium in 40 BC was the alpha treaty marriage of the struggle between east and west, just as the treaty marriage of Laodice and Antiochus II Theo was the alpha of the struggle between north and south. The treaty marriage of 313 was the omega to the alpha treaty marriage of Mark Antony and Octavia, just as the treaty marriage between Ptolemy V and Cleopatra I Syra was the omega treaty marriage of the northern and southern kingdoms. The three treaty marriages that led to the omega treaty marriage of 313 all align, and provide three witnesses to the prophetic characteristics associated with the Edict of Milan. Together the four literal treaty marriages of east, west, north and south align with the two symbolic treaty marriages of the papacy.
Ndoa ya mkataba ya Brundisium ya mwaka 40 KK ilikuwa ndoa ya mkataba ya alfa ya pambano kati ya mashariki na magharibi, kama vile ndoa ya mkataba ya Laodike na Antioko II Theo ilivyokuwa alfa ya pambano kati ya kaskazini na kusini. Ndoa ya mkataba ya mwaka 313 ilikuwa omega kwa ndoa ya mkataba ya alfa ya Marko Antoni na Oktavia, kama vile ndoa ya mkataba kati ya Ptolemy V na Kleopatra I Syra ilivyokuwa ndoa ya mkataba ya omega ya falme za kaskazini na kusini. Ndoa tatu za mkataba zilizoongoza kwa ndoa ya mkataba ya omega ya mwaka 313 zote zinapatana, na kutoa mashahidi watatu kwa sifa za kinabii zinazohusishwa na Amri ya Milan. Kwa pamoja ndoa nne halisi za mkataba za mashariki, magharibi, kaskazini na kusini zinapatana na ndoa mbili za mfano za upapa.
In 496, Clovis the king of the Franks was married to Clotilda. Clotilda was a Burgundian princess, the daughter of King Chilperic II of Burgundy. After her father and mother were murdered in a family power struggle, she lived under the protection of her uncle before being given in marriage to Clovis I, king of the Franks, in 493. She was a Catholic, that is, she held the Nicene/orthodox faith of the Roman Church. This set her apart from many other Germanic royal families of the time, who were Arian Christians. Her mother Caretena had been Catholic, and Clotilda was raised in that faith. She is remembered for persistently urging Clovis to abandon paganism and accept Catholic baptism, and thereafter his conversion in 496 is one of the most important events in the early history of France and of Western so-called Christianity.
No ano de 496, Clóvis, rei dos Francos, era casado com Clotilde. Clotilde era uma princesa burgúndia, filha do rei Quilperico II da Borgonha. Depois de seu pai e sua mãe terem sido assassinados numa luta familiar pelo poder, ela viveu sob a proteção de seu tio antes de ser dada em casamento a Clóvis I, rei dos Francos, em 493. Ela era católica, isto é, professava a fé nicena/ortodoxa da Igreja Romana. Isso a distinguia de muitas outras famílias reais germânicas da época, que eram cristãs arianas. Sua mãe, Caretena, fora católica, e Clotilde foi criada nessa fé. Ela é lembrada por instar persistentemente Clóvis a abandonar o paganismo e aceitar o batismo católico, e, a partir daí, sua conversão em 496 é um dos acontecimentos mais importantes na história primitiva da França e do assim chamado cristianismo ocidental.
Clovis vowed that if he won the battle of Tolbiac he would convert to Clotilda’s Catholic faith and be baptized. The Alemanni king was killed, their army broke, and the Franks won. After the victory Clotilda arranged for Bishop Remigius of Reims to instruct Clovis, and he was baptized (traditionally on Christmas Day 496), along with several thousand of his warriors.
克洛维曾起誓：倘若他在托尔比亚克之战中获胜，便归信克洛蒂尔达所信奉的天主教信仰，并领受洗礼。阿勒曼尼人的国王被杀，他们的军队溃散，法兰克人取得了胜利。战后，克洛蒂尔达安排兰斯的主教雷米吉乌斯教导克洛维；随后他受了洗（按传统说法是在496年圣诞节），并有数千名其麾下战士与他一同受洗。
Clovis was the king of the Franks, which in modern terms is the king of France. He became the first of the kings of Europe who would ultimately surrender their pagan religion and turn to Catholicism. For this reason, Clovis is considered the “eldest son of the Catholic church,” and France is called, “the eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” In 1980, when pope John Paul II visited France he asked, “France, eldest daughter of the Church, are you faithful to your baptism?”
Chlodwig var konungur Franka, sem á nútímamáli er konungur Frakklands. Hann varð hinn fyrsti meðal konunga Evrópu sem að lokum afsalaði sér heiðinni trú sinni og snerist til kaþólskrar trúar. Af þessum sökum er Chlodwig talinn „frumburðarsonur kaþólsku kirkjunnar“, og Frakkland er kallað „frumburðardóttir kaþólsku kirkjunnar“. Árið 1980, er Jóhannes Páll II páfi heimsótti Frakkland, spurði hann: „Frakkland, frumburðardóttir kirkjunnar, ertu trú skírn þinni?“
Clovis' conversion to Nicene Catholicism identifies the start of a symbolic marriage procession that would lead to the symbolic treaty marriage of 538. The symbolic treaty marriage between Clovis and the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth was typified by the four previous treaty marriages in Daniel eleven. Clovis was the first European king to provide military and economic support for the Roman church and Clovis is therefore represented within the history in Daniel eleven.
Guhinduka kwa Clovis akemera Ubukatolika bwa Nicée kugaragaza intangiriro y’urugendo rw’ikigereranyo rw’ubukwe rwagombaga kuganisha ku ishyingiranwa ry’ikigereranyo ryo mu 538.

Clovis ni we wabaye umwami wa mbere w’i Burayi wahaye itorero ry’i Roma ubufasha bwa gisirikare n’ubw’ubukungu, bityo rero Clovis agahagararirwa muri ayo mateka yo muri Daniyeli 11.
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 11:31.
Na makono zitasimama upande wake, nazo zitatia unajisi patakatifu pa ngome, nazo zitaondoa sadaka ya daima, nazo zitaweka chukizo lile lifanyalo ukiwa. Danieli 11:31.
Clovis in 496 marks the beginning of the European political structures to “stand up” to aid the papacy as it rose to power. It marks the beginning of a symbolic marriage procession. The “arms” of the verse would also pollute the “sanctuary of strength,” which for both pagan and papal Rome is the city of Rome.
Clovis em 496 assinala o início das estruturas políticas europeias a “erguer-se” para ajudar o papado à medida que este ascendia ao poder. Assinala o começo de uma procissão nupcial simbólica. As “armas” do versículo também profanariam o “santuário da fortaleza”, que, tanto para a Roma pagã como para a Roma papal, é a cidade de Roma.
Two Sanctuary's
Nyumba Mbili za Ibada
There are two different Hebrew words in the book of Daniel that are translated as “sanctuary.” The Hebrew words ‘miqdash’ and ‘qodesh’ are both translated as “sanctuary,” but qodesh can only represent a holy entity, whereas miqdash can represent either a holy or unholy sanctuary—as determined by context.
En el libro de Daniel hay dos palabras hebreas diferentes que se traducen como “santuario”. Las palabras hebreas ‘miqdash’ y ‘qodesh’ se traducen ambas como “santuario”, pero qodesh solo puede representar una entidad santa, mientras que miqdash puede representar un santuario santo o impío, según lo determine el contexto.
The “sanctuary of strength” in verse thirty-one is ‘miqdash’ and represents the sanctuary of Rome’s strength, which for both pagan and papal Rome was the city of Rome. From the battle of Actium, when Octavian united the empire, pagan Rome was invincible for three hundred and sixty years (a time) in fulfilment of verse twenty-four of Daniel eleven.
“tempel fan macht” yn fers ienentritich is ‘miqdash’ en stelt it hillichdom fan de macht fan Rome foar, dat foar sawol heidensk as pauslik Rome de stêd Rome wie. Fan de slach by Actium ôf, doe’t Octavianus it ryk feriene, wie heidensk Rome trijehûndert en sechtich jier (in tiid) ûnoerwinlik, ta ferfolling fan fers fjouwerentweintich fan Daniël alve.
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.
خدایەوە بە ئاشتی دەچێتە ناو پُربەرەکەترین شوێنەکانی هەرێمەکە؛ ئەوەش دەکات کە نە باوکانى کردووە، نە باوکانى باوکانى؛ تاڵانی، دەسکەوت، و سامان لەنێویاندا دابەش دەکات؛ بەڵێ، تا ماوەیەک پیلانەکانی خۆی دژ بە قەڵاکان دادەنێت. دانیال 11:24.
When pagan Rome ruled from the city of Rome it was invincible, but when Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople in 330, the “time” of verse twenty-four was fulfilled. When the last of the three horns (the Goths) of Daniel seven were driven out of the city, papal Rome prophetically took the throne as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 538. The Goths had besieged Rome, but ultimately retreated as Belsarius, general for Justinian secured the city. The Roman church then ruled supremely for twelve hundred and sixty years until Napoleon had the pope removed and put in exile in 1798.

Rome, “the sanctuary of strength” was “polluted,” (polluted, meaning ‘wounded or dissolved’), through the “arms” from the ongoing warfare against the city, represented primarily by the first four trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.
রোম, “শক্তির পবিত্রস্থান,” “অপবিত্র করা হলো” (এখানে “অপবিত্র করা” বলতে ‘আঘাতপ্রাপ্ত বা বিলুপ্ত করা’ বোঝায়), শহরের বিরুদ্ধে চলমান যুদ্ধের “বাহিনীসমূহের” দ্বারা, যা প্রধানত প্রকাশিত বাক্য অধ্যায় আটের প্রথম চার তূরীর মাধ্যমে প্রতীকায়িত হয়েছে।
The history that ensued from 496 onward would see the city of Rome polluted as it changed from the power and glory of the Roman empire unto the power and glory of the Roman Catholic empire. Those arms would take away the religion of paganism, represented by the word “daily” in the passage, as they accepted the religion of Nicene Catholicism.
L’histoire qui s’ensuivit à partir de 496 verrait la ville de Rome souillée, tandis qu’elle passait de la puissance et de la gloire de l’empire romain à la puissance et à la gloire de l’empire catholique romain. Ces bras enlèveraient la religion du paganisme, représentée dans le passage par le mot « continuel », en acceptant la religion du catholicisme nicéen.
At the battle of Vouillé, Clovis defeated the Arian Visigoths under Alaric II and took Aquitaine. In the aftermath of the victory, in 508, the Eastern emperor Anastasius I (in Constantinople) honored Clovis for his victory over the Visigoths. Gregory of Tours says that Anastasius sent Clovis' official papers making him consul. At Tours, in Saint Martin’s church, Clovis put on a purple tunic and cloak, set a diadem on his head, rode out, and scattered gold and silver to the crowd. Gregory says that from that day he was hailed as consul and recognized by the Roman emperor that Clovis was a legitimate Christian king in the west. He was rewarded for breaking the Arian Visigoths, whom Constantinople also opposed. 508 is the year the emperor in the East publicly honored the Catholic Frankish king—church, victory, and Roman legitimacy in one scene. 508 is the year the Frankish Catholic kingdom stood as the dominant Catholic power in Gaul after breaking Arian Visigoth’s rule. Clovis is the first major barbarian king to fight for Nicene Catholicism against Arian kingdoms, and thus the prototype of the French role as “eldest daughter of the Church.” Clovis represents the period of 496 unto 508 and is the alpha symbol of the symbolic marriage treaty. The thirty years from 508 unto 538 are represented by Justinian who is the omega symbol of the procession.
ഭൂയേയിലെ യുദ്ധത്തിൽ ക്ലോവിസ് അലാരിക് IIന്റെ കീഴിലുണ്ടായിരുന്ന ആരിയൻ വിസിഗോത്തുകളെ തോല്പിക്കുകയും അക്വിറ്റെയ്ൻ കൈവശമാക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. ഈ വിജയത്തിന്റെ അനന്തരഫലമായി, 508-ൽ, കിഴക്കൻ ചക്രവർത്തിയായ അനസ്താസിയസ് I (കോൺസ്റ്റാന്റിനോപ്പിളിൽ) വിസിഗോത്തുകളിന്മേലുള്ള തന്റെ വിജയത്തെ തുടർന്ന് ക്ലോവിസിനെ ബഹുമാനിച്ചു. ഗ്രിഗറി ഓഫ് ടൂർസ് പറയുന്നതനുസരിച്ച്, അനസ്താസിയസ് ക്ലോവിസിനെ കോൺസൽ ആക്കുന്ന ഔദ്യോഗിക രേഖകൾ അവനു അയച്ചു. ടൂർസിൽ, വിശുദ്ധ മാർട്ടിന്റെ ദേവാലയത്തിൽ, ക്ലോവിസ് ചുവപ്പുനിറമുള്ള ട്യൂണിക്കും മേലങ്കിയും അണിഞ്ഞ്, തലയിലൊരു കിരീടബന്ധം വച്ച്, കുതിരപ്പുറത്ത് പുറപ്പെട്ട്, ജനക്കൂട്ടത്തിന്മേൽ സ്വർണ്ണവും വെള്ളിയും ചിതറിച്ചു. ഗ്രിഗറി പറയുന്നത്, അന്നുമുതൽ അവനെ കോൺസൽ എന്നു സ്വാഗതം ചെയ്യുകയും റോമൻ ചക്രവർത്തി ക്ലോവിസ് പാശ്ചാത്യത്തിൽ ഒരു നിയമാനുസൃത ക്രിസ്തീയ രാജാവാണെന്ന് അംഗീകരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു എന്നതാണ്. കോൺസ്റ്റാന്റിനോപ്പിളും എതിര്ത്തിരുന്ന ആരിയൻ വിസിഗോത്തുകളെ തകർത്തതിനാലാണ് അവൻ പ്രതിഫലം ലഭിച്ചത്. 508-ആം വർഷം, കിഴക്കിലുള്ള ചക്രവർത്തി കത്തോലിക്ക ഫ്രാങ്കിഷ് രാജാവിനെ പൊതുവായി ബഹുമാനിച്ച വർഷമാണ്—സഭയും, വിജയവും, റോമൻ നിയമസാധുതയും ഒരേയൊരു ദൃശ്യത്തിൽ. 508-ആം വർഷം, ആരിയൻ വിസിഗോത്തുകളുടെ ആധിപത്യം തകർത്തതിനു ശേഷം ഗോൾദേശത്തിൽ ഫ്രാങ്കിഷ് കത്തോലിക്ക രാജ്യം പ്രധാന കത്തോലിക്ക ശക്തിയായി നിലകൊണ്ട വർഷമാണ്. ആരിയൻ രാജ്യങ്ങൾക്കെതിരെ നിക്കേയൻ കത്തോലിക്ക വിശ്വാസത്തിനുവേണ്ടി പോരാടിയ ആദ്യ പ്രധാന ബർബര രാജാവാണ് ക്ലോവിസ്; അതുകൊണ്ട് അവൻ “സഭയുടെ ജ്യേഷ്ഠ പുത്രി” എന്ന ഫ്രഞ്ച് പങ്കിന്റെ മാതൃകയാണ്. ക്ലോവിസ് 496 മുതൽ 508 വരെയുള്ള കാലഘട്ടത്തെ പ്രതിനിധീകരിക്കുന്നു; അവൻ പ്രതീകാത്മക വിവാഹനിയമത്തിന്റെ ആൽഫാ-പ്രതീകമാണ്. 508 മുതൽ 538 വരെ ഉള്ള മുപ്പതു വർഷങ്ങളെ ജസ്റ്റീനിയൻ പ്രതിനിധീകരിക്കുന്നു; അവൻ ആ ഘോഷയാത്രയുടെ ഓമേഗാ-പ്രതീകമാണ്.
In 538, the “arms” placed the papal power on the throne of the earth for 1260 years. It was then that the symbolic treaty marriage was consummated at the conclusion of the marriage procession that had begun in 496. In 1798, the treaty marriage that had begun between the pope of Rome and Clovis of France, was disannulled when Napoleon of France divorced the papal power by having his general take the pope captive.
Em 538, os “braços” colocaram o poder papal no trono da terra por 1260 anos. Foi então que o casamento simbólico de aliança se consumou, na conclusão da procissão nupcial que havia começado em 496. Em 1798, o casamento de aliança que se iniciara entre o papa de Roma e Clóvis da França foi anulado quando Napoleão da França se divorciou do poder papal, fazendo com que seu general levasse o papa cativo.
The alpha symbolic papal treaty marriage, which had begun its marriage procession in 496, was consummated at the Sunday law in 538, and it was thereafter disannulled in 1798, just as was every other treaty marriage of Daniel eleven. Revelation adds to the papal marital relationship between the kings of Europe and popes of Catholicism, for the dragon of Revelation twelve is both Satan and pagan Rome’s kings.
Альфа-символічний папський договірний шлюб, що розпочав свою шлюбну ходу в 496 році, був завершений при недільному законі в 538 році, а згодом був розірваний у 1798 році, так само, як і кожний інший договірний шлюб з одинадцятого розділу книги Даниїла. Об’явлення доповнює папський шлюбний зв’язок між царями Європи та папами католицизму, бо дракон з дванадцятого розділу Об’явлення є і сатаною, і царями язичницького Риму.
“Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 439.
« Ainsi, bien que le dragon représente principalement Satan, il est aussi, en un sens secondaire, un symbole de la Rome païenne. » The Great Controversy, 439.
In Revelation John informs us of three things the kings (the dragon) gave to the sea beast of Catholicism.
Na Emoniseli, João fala-nos de três coisas que os reis (o dragão) deram à besta do mar do Catolicismo.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 13:2.
At ang hayop na aking nakita ay katulad ng isang leopardo, at ang kaniyang mga paa ay gaya ng mga paa ng isang oso, at ang kaniyang bibig ay gaya ng bibig ng isang leon: at ibinigay sa kaniya ng dragon ang kaniyang kapangyarihan, at ang kaniyang luklukan, at dakilang kapamahalaan. Apocalipsis 13:2.
In 496, the kings of Europe began providing the papal beast their “power” as represented by their military might and economic support. They had moved the capital of their empire to Constantinople in 330, leaving the city of Rome as the “seat” of the papal authority. The “arms” thereafter identified the papal church as the head of all churches in 533 with the decree of Justinian. The decree included the use of their military might to persecute those who the papacy identified as heretics, thus placing their civil “authority” into the hands of the popes.
En 496, los reyes de Europa comenzaron a proporcionar a la bestia papal su «poder», representado por su fuerza militar y su apoyo económico. Habían trasladado la capital de su imperio a Constantinopla en 330, dejando la ciudad de Roma como la «sede» de la autoridad papal. Los «brazos» identificaron desde entonces a la iglesia papal como cabeza de todas las iglesias en 533 mediante el decreto de Justiniano. El decreto incluía el uso de su poderío militar para perseguir a aquellos a quienes el papado identificaba como herejes, poniendo así su «autoridad» civil en manos de los papas.
The alpha treaty marriage between the papacy and the kings of Europe began with Clovis in 496. By 508, paganism, the legal religion of the realm was set aside for the religion of Nicene Catholicism. In 533, Justinian identified the papacy as the head of all churches, and surrendered the legal authority of their respective thrones unto the papal power.
Mu ndo y’ubushyingiranwa bw’isezerano rya alpha hagati y’ubupapa n’abami b’i Burayi watangiranye na Clovis mu mwaka wa 496. Mu 508, ubupagani, ari bwo bwari idini ryemewe n’amategeko ry’ubwami, bwakuweho busimburwa n’idini rya Gatolika ya Nicée. Mu 533, Justinien yemeje ko ubupapa ari bwo mutwe w’amatorero yose, kandi yegurira ububasha bw’amategeko bw’intebe z’ubwami zabo ku butegetsi bwa papa.
The Alpha and Omega Seat
ଅଲ୍ଫା ଓ ଓମେଗା ଆସନ
In 330, the city of Rome was left in the hands of the Roman church where she would be seated until she is destroyed in the lake of fire at Christ’s second coming. In 538, she was officially seated again upon the papal throne, thus identifying the history of 330 unto 538 as a prophetic period that begins with an alpha seat and ends with an omega seat. The period represents the ending of the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy (Pergamos) as a progressive demise beginning in 330 and ending in 538 with the arrival of Thyatira. Both western and eastern Rome continued the slow dissolution beyond 538, but the period began with giving the seat, representing the city of Rome to the papacy in 330, until the seat became not simply a throne over the city, but over the kingdom represented by the city in 538.
In 330 werd de stad Rome overgelaten aan de handen van de Roomse kerk, waar zij gezeten zou blijven totdat zij bij de tweede komst van Christus in de poel des vuurs wordt vernietigd. In 538 werd zij officieel opnieuw op de pauselijke troon gezet, waarmee de geschiedenis van 330 tot 538 wordt aangeduid als een profetische periode die begint met een alpha-zetel en eindigt met een omega-zetel. Deze periode vertegenwoordigt het einde van het vierde koninkrijk van de Bijbelse profetie (Pergamus) als een geleidelijke ondergang die begint in 330 en eindigt in 538 met de komst van Thyatira. Zowel het westelijke als het oostelijke Rome zetten de langzame ontbinding na 538 voort, maar de periode begon met het geven van de zetel, die de stad Rome aan het pausdom vertegenwoordigt, in 330, totdat de zetel in 538 niet slechts een troon over de stad werd, maar over het koninkrijk dat door de stad werd vertegenwoordigd.
330 to 538 is a specific prophetic period that defines the ‘eight’ waymarks of the papacy’s empowerment. Those eight steps are repeated in the healing of the papacy’s deadly wound at the soon-coming Sunday law.
330 à 538 constitue une période prophétique précise qui définit les huit repères de l’investiture de la papauté. Ces huit étapes se répètent dans la guérison de la blessure mortelle de la papauté lors de la loi dominicale imminente.
The first of the eight steps was the giving of the city of Rome to the papal power, and the eighth step was the giving of the city as the throne of the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. This identifies 538 as the seat, and as ‘the eighth step, that is of the previous seven steps.’ The first step was the giving of the seat and the eighth step was the giving of the seat; thus, the first step in 330 is the alpha and 538 is the omega. Two seats, three horns removed, the daily taken away, Clovis’ conversion and Justinian’s decree equal eight total steps that identify the marriage procession, and ultimately the marriage.
It fyrsta av teimum átta stigunum var at geva býnum Róm til pávaliga valdið, og tað áttanda stigið var at geva býin sum hásæti hins fimta ríkis í bíbliuspádóminum. Hetta eyðmerkir 538 sum hásætið, og sum «tað áttanda stigið, tað er av teimum undanfarnu sjey stigunum.» Fyrsta stigið var at geva hásætið, og tað áttanda stigið var at geva hásætið; sostatt er fyrsta stigið í 330 alfa, og 538 er omega. Tvey hásæti, tríggir horn tikin burtur, hitt dagliga tikið burtur, umvending Klovisar og fyriskipan Justinianusar eru tilsamans átta stig, sum eyðmerkja hjúnagonguna, og at enda sjálva giftuna.
In 1798, France, the power who had represented the ten European kings, who placed the papacy on the throne in 538, removed the papacy from that very throne. The alpha treaty marriage represented in the history of 538 unto 1798 typifies the omega treaty marriage of the papal power with the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The marriage procession from 496 unto 538 typifies eight steps that align with the last eight presidents of the United States. Clovis and France are symbols of the ten European kings. They represent the United States who will become the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings at the soon-coming Sunday law.
En 1798, la France, la puissance qui avait représenté les dix rois européens, qui avait placé la papauté sur le trône en 538, ôta la papauté de ce même trône. Le mariage d’alliance alpha représenté dans l’histoire de 538 à 1798 préfigure le mariage d’alliance oméga de la puissance papale avec les dix rois d’Apocalypse dix-sept. Le cortège nuptial de 496 à 538 préfigure huit étapes qui correspondent aux huit derniers présidents des États-Unis. Clovis et la France sont des symboles des dix rois européens. Ils représentent les États-Unis, qui deviendront le roi principal des dix rois d’Apocalypse dix-sept lors de la loi dominicale imminente.
The five previous treaty marriages of Daniel eleven align with the sixth and final treaty marriage of the latter days. The alpha and omega treaty marriages of north and south identify the bride from the south as the alpha and the omega is a bride from the north. In the treaty marriages of pagan Rome, the alpha bride from the east was given to the west, and the omega of 313 was a bride from the west. Those four marriages are prophetically linked together by Cleopatra the first and Cleopatra the last. The symbolic treaty marriage of papal Rome represented the groom as the premier king of a prophetic confederacy of ten kings joining with their bride—the scarlet woman of Rome. The divorce was carried out by the premier king of the ten kings in 1798.
Les cinq précédents mariages d’alliance de Daniel onze s’alignent sur le sixième et dernier mariage d’alliance des derniers jours. Les mariages d’alliance alpha et oméga du nord et du sud identifient l’épouse venant du sud comme l’alpha, et l’oméga comme une épouse venant du nord. Dans les mariages d’alliance de la Rome païenne, l’épouse alpha venant de l’est fut donnée à l’ouest, et l’oméga de 313 fut une épouse venant de l’ouest. Ces quatre mariages sont prophétiquement liés ensemble par Cléopâtre la première et Cléopâtre la dernière. Le mariage d’alliance symbolique de la Rome papale représentait l’époux comme le roi principal d’une confédération prophétique de dix rois s’unissant à leur épouse — la femme écarlate de Rome. Le divorce fut exécuté par le roi principal des dix rois en 1798.
The treaty marriage of 313 represents the final treaty marriage of the papal power with the United States—the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings; a two horned power that is typified by the two horned power of France. The history that began with Clovis in 496 and ultimately led to the decree of Justinian in 533 and the enthronement of the papacy in 538, represents the history of 1989 unto the Sunday law.
Le mariage d’alliance de 313 représente le dernier mariage d’alliance du pouvoir papal avec les États-Unis — le roi principal parmi les dix rois d’Apocalypse 17 ; une puissance à deux cornes, préfigurée par la puissance à deux cornes de la France. L’histoire qui commença avec Clovis en 496 et conduisit finalement au décret de Justinien en 533 et à l’intronisation de la papauté en 538 représente l’histoire de 1989 jusqu’à la loi du dimanche.
