We are in the process of considering Revelation chapters eleven through thirteen, where we find all the antagonists in the final probationary battle of the great controversy that occurs on the battlefield of the first heaven. The antagonists are the one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude that comes out of Babylon as a secondary force, against the United Nations, the Catholic Church, the United States and Satan himself. The one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude are God’s army, representing the third angel’s message, and both sides in the warfare are also confronted with the army of God’s judgment, represented not by the third angel, but by the third woe.
እኛ አሁን በራእይ መጽሐፍ ምዕራፍ አሥራ አንድ እስከ አሥራ ሦስት ያሉትን በማሰብ ላይ ነን፤ በዚያም በመጀመሪያው ሰማይ የጦር ሜዳ ላይ በሚፈጸመው የታላቁ ተጋድሎ የመጨረሻ የምሕረት ጊዜ ውጊያ ውስጥ የሚገኙትን ተቃዋሚዎች ሁሉ እናገኛለን። ተቃዋሚዎቹም አንድ መቶ አርባ አራት ሺህ እና ከባቢሎን እንደ ሁለተኛ ኃይል የሚወጣው ታላቅ ሕዝብ በአንድ ወገን፣ በተባበሩት መንግሥታት፣ በካቶሊክ ቤተ ክርስቲያን፣ በዩናይትድ ስቴትስ እና በራሱ በሰይጣን ላይ ናቸው። አንድ መቶ አርባ አራት ሺሁና ታላቁ ሕዝብ የእግዚአብሔር ሠራዊት ናቸው፤ ይህም የሦስተኛውን መልአክ መልእክት ይወክላል፤ እንዲሁም በውጊያው ውስጥ ያሉ ሁለቱም ወገኖች ከእግዚአብሔር የፍርድ ሠራዊት ጋር ይገጥማሉ፥ ይህም በሦስተኛው መልአክ ሳይሆን በሦስተኛው ወዮ የተመሰለ ነው።
In order to identify certain characteristics that contributed to the murder of the Republican and Protestant horns in 2020, we are seeking to identify prophetic characteristics that occur in the battle of mankind in the first heaven, from the Sunday law until Michael stands up. In that history the entire world is forced to erect an image to the beast. That history is a repetition of the history of the United States from September 11, 2001, until the soon coming Sunday law, which divides those two parallel histories. As parallel histories they both represent a witness to the other history. What takes place in one of those histories, will also take place in the other history. It is the second history that is the focus of Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, and we intend to understand the second witness, in order to shed prophetic light upon the first history, which is now almost finished.

The three powers that lead the world to Armageddon are represented in chapters twelve and thirteen. The dragon power is first mentioned.
इबारागेनडोनासिम मावफुंनो गोसोखौ होनाय थाम गोबां शक्तिफोरखौ द्वाह थाखो आरो थामगो थाखोआव दिन्थिफोरनाय जाबाय। द्रागननि शक्तिखौ गिबि मोनसेआव उल्लेिख होनाय जाबाय।
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:3, 4.
똥또 하늘에 다른 이적이 보이니, 보라, 큰 붉은 용이 있어 일곱 머리와 열 뿔을 가졌고 그 머리들 위에 일곱 면류관이 있더라. 그 꼬리가 하늘의 별 삼분의 일을 끌어다가 땅에 던지더라. 그 용이 해산하려 하는 여자 앞에 서서, 아이가 태어나자마자 삼키고자 하더라. 요한계시록 12:3, 4.
Sister White informs us that the dragon in this chapter is Satan, but in a secondary sense it is pagan Rome. Both Satan and pagan Rome typify the United Nations. The beast’s ten horns represent the evil confederacy of ten kings in Revelation seventeen. Those ten kings are represented in Revelation seventeen, and they are there identified as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. The beast is represented as having seven heads with seven crowns, marking it as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. In Daniel two they are represented as spiritual Greece, and they are also Ahab in the testimony of Mount Carmel, and they are the ten enemies of Psalms eighty-three.
Sister White nous informe que le dragon, dans ce chapitre, est Satan, mais que, dans un sens secondaire, il s’agit de la Rome païenne. Satan comme la Rome païenne sont tous deux des figures typologiques des Nations Unies. Les dix cornes de la bête représentent la confédération maléfique de dix rois d’Apocalypse dix-sept. Ces dix rois sont représentés dans Apocalypse dix-sept, où ils sont identifiés comme le septième royaume de la prophétie biblique. La bête est présentée comme ayant sept têtes avec sept couronnes, ce qui la désigne comme le septième royaume de la prophétie biblique. Dans Daniel deux, ils sont représentés comme la Grèce spirituelle; ils sont aussi Achab dans le témoignage du mont Carmel, et ils sont les dix ennemis du Psaume quatre-vingt-trois.
The second earthly power of the enemy mentioned in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, is the beast that comes out of the sea, who Sister White directly identifies as Catholicism.
A segunda potência terrena do inimigo mencionada em Apocalipse, capítulos doze e treze, é a besta que sobe do mar, a qual a Irmã White identifica diretamente como o Catolicismo.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 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. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:1–3.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 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. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:1–3.
John was standing on the seashore in verse one, and he sees a beast rise from the sea, and thereafter, he sees a beast coming up out of the earth. Sister White identifies that the time in which John saw the two beasts was 1798, for that was the year the papacy was “robbed of its strength,” thus receiving a deadly wound that would ultimately be healed.
Verse eins geep Johannes an’n Strand vun de See, un he süht en Deert ut de See opstiegen; un daarna süht he en Deert ut de Eer upkamen. Süster White wiest dorup hen, dat de Tiet, in de Johannes de twee Deerten sehn hett, dat Johr 1798 weer; denn dat weer dat Johr, in welk dat Papstdoom „sien Kraft beraubt“ wurr, un so en dodbringende Wunn kreeg, de letztlich heel warrn schull.
“At the time 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, is represented by a beast with lamblike horns. The beasts preceding it had risen from the sea; but this came up out of the earth, representing the peaceful rise of the nation which it symbolized—the United States.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.
“Bei der Zeit, da das Papsttum, seiner Kraft beraubt, genötigt war, von der Verfolgung abzulassen, sah Johannes eine neue Macht aufkommen, um die Stimme des Drachen widerhallen zu lassen und dasselbe grausame und lästerliche Werk fortzuführen. Diese Macht, die letzte, welche Krieg gegen die Gemeinde und das Gesetz Gottes führen wird, wird durch ein Tier mit lammgleichen Hörnern dargestellt. Die ihr vorangehenden Tiere waren aus dem Meer aufgestiegen; dieses aber stieg aus der Erde empor und stellt das friedliche Aufkommen der Nation dar, die es versinnbildlichte — die Vereinigten Staaten.” Signs of the Times, 8. Februar 1910.
John is looking backward into history when he sees the sea beast, which is the papacy. Looking forward in history, he sees the earth beast, which is the United States. This is why the beast from the sea is prophetically constructed as it is. Looking back from 1798, John first sees “seven heads and ten horns,” marking the point in history that three of the horns were plucked up to make room for the stout horn of the papacy, which spake great things.
Jean porte son regard en arrière dans l’histoire lorsqu’il voit la bête de la mer, qui est la papauté. En regardant en avant dans l’histoire, il voit la bête de la terre, qui est les États-Unis. C’est pourquoi la bête qui monte de la mer est prophétiquement constituée telle qu’elle l’est. En regardant en arrière depuis 1798, Jean voit d’abord « sept têtes et dix cornes », marquant le moment de l’histoire où trois des cornes furent arrachées pour faire place à la corne puissante de la papauté, qui proférait de grandes paroles.
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:19, 20.
Puis je voulus connaître la vérité touchant la quatrième bête, qui était différente de toutes les autres, extrêmement terrible, dont les dents étaient de fer et les ongles d’airain; qui dévorait, brisait en pièces, et foulait aux pieds le reste; et touchant les dix cornes qu’elle avait à la tête, et touchant l’autre corne qui monta, devant laquelle trois tombèrent; savoir cette corne qui avait des yeux, et une bouche qui proférait de très grandes choses, et dont l’apparence était plus imposante que celle de ses compagnes. Daniel 7:19, 20.
Before those three horns of the Heruli, Ostrogoths and Vandals were removed, pagan Rome was represented by “ten crowns.” Those ten crowns represent pagan Rome. Then John identifies the leopard of Greece, then the bear of Medo-Persia and then the lion of Babylon.
Avant que ces trois cornes des Hérules, des Ostrogoths et des Vandales ne soient arrachées, la Rome païenne était représentée par « dix couronnes ». Ces dix couronnes représentent la Rome païenne. Puis Jean identifie le léopard de la Grèce, puis l’ours de la Médo-Perse, puis le lion de Babylone.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Daniel 7:4–6.
Den första var lik ett lejon och hade örnvingar. Jag såg på till dess att vingarna rycktes av det, och det lyftes upp från jorden och fick stå på två fötter såsom en människa, och ett människohjärta gavs åt det. Och se, ett annat djur, det andra, var likt en björn, och det reste sig på ena sidan, och det hade tre revben i munnen mellan tänderna; och så sade man till det: Stå upp, sluka mycket kött. Därefter såg jag, och se, ännu ett annat, likt en leopard, som på ryggen hade fyra fågelvingar; djuret hade också fyra huvuden, och herravälde gavs åt det. Daniel 7:4–6.
There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian, and the sea beast represents the combination of all the previous pagan kingdoms of Bible prophecy. The sea beast is represented in reverse historical order, for John is looking back into history. He first saw the power that was established when the three horns were removed—the papacy. Then he saw ten horns with ten crowns—pagan Rome. Then he saw the leopard—Greece. Then he saw the bear—Medo-Persia. Then he saw the lion—Babylon. The description of the sea beast consists of elements of each of the preceding pagan kingdoms, and the description establishes that the papacy is a conglomeration of every form of paganism that has existed in biblical history. There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian. Anything that might appear as Christian in Catholicism is a counterfeit.
Nikakuna hata kipengele kimoja cha Ukatoliki kilicho cha Kikristo, na mnyama wa baharini anawakilisha muunganiko wa falme zote za awali za kipagani za unabii wa Biblia. Mnyama wa baharini ameonyeshwa kwa mpangilio wa kihistoria uliogeuzwa, kwa maana Yohana anaangalia nyuma katika historia. Kwanza aliona mamlaka iliyoanzishwa wakati pembe zile tatu zilipoondolewa—upapa. Kisha akaona pembe kumi zenye taji kumi—Rumi ya kipagani. Halafu akaona chui—Ugiriki. Kisha akaona dubu—Umedi na Uajemi. Kisha akaona simba—Babeli. Maelezo ya mnyama wa baharini yanajumuisha vipengele vya kila moja ya falme za kipagani zilizotangulia, na maelezo hayo yanathibitisha kwamba upapa ni mkusanyiko wa kila namna ya upagani ambayo imewahi kuwapo katika historia ya kibiblia. Hakuna hata kipengele kimoja cha Ukatoliki kilicho cha Kikristo. Lolote linaloweza kuonekana kuwa la Kikristo ndani ya Ukatoliki ni bandia.
At Mount Carmel, when Elijah did battle with Jezebel’s prophets and her apostate husband, Jezebel was back home in Samaria. The whore of Tyre is forgotten during the history of the earth beast with two horns. Jezebel is always hidden away, and in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen the world wonders after her, but she is not portrayed as a marvel that is wondered after in the heavens, as is the United Nations, the United States and Satan. She is back in her command center of Samaria—the city of Rome.
Sur le mont Carmel, lorsque Élie combattit les prophètes de Jézabel et son mari apostat, Jézabel se trouvait de nouveau chez elle, en Samarie. La prostituée de Tyr est oubliée dans le cours de l’histoire de la bête terrestre à deux cornes. Jézabel est toujours tenue cachée, et, dans les chapitres douze et treize de l’Apocalypse, le monde s’émerveille à sa suite, mais elle n’y est pas dépeinte comme un prodige que l’on contemple avec étonnement dans les cieux, ainsi que le sont les Nations Unies, les États-Unis et Satan. Elle est de retour dans son centre de commandement de Samarie — la ville de Rome.
The history of the earth beast is where the test of the image of the beast for the whole world is identified. That test takes place during the warfare of the first heaven. This is what we wish to consider at this point. I will substitute the United States for the word “he” in the verses we are now going to consider.
L’histoire de la bête qui monte de la terre est le lieu où s’identifie, pour le monde entier, l’épreuve de l’image de la bête. Cette épreuve a lieu durant la guerre du premier ciel. C’est ce que nous désirons examiner à ce stade. Je remplacerai, dans les versets que nous allons maintenant considérer, le mot « il » par les États-Unis.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and the United States had two horns like a lamb, and the United States spake as a dragon. And the United States 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 the United States 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 the United States 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 the [United States] 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 the United States 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. Revelation 13:11–17.
Na nikamwona mnyama mwingine akipanda kutoka katika nchi; na Marekani ilikuwa na pembe mbili mfano wa mwana-kondoo, na Marekani ikanena kama joka. Nayo Marekani yatumia uwezo wote wa yule mnyama wa kwanza mbele yake, nayo yawafanya dunia na wakaao ndani yake wamwabudu yule mnyama wa kwanza, ambaye jeraha lake la mauti lilipona. Nayo Marekani hufanya maajabu makubwa, hata kufanya moto ushuke kutoka mbinguni uje juu ya nchi, machoni pa wanadamu, nayo yawadanganya wakaao juu ya nchi kwa njia ya miujiza ile ambayo Marekani ilipewa uwezo kuifanya mbele ya yule mnyama; ikiwaambia wakaao juu ya nchi ya kwamba wamfanyie sanamu yule mnyama aliyekuwa na jeraha la upanga, naye akaishi. Nayo [Marekani] ilipewa uwezo ya kuipa hiyo sanamu ya mnyama pumzi, hata hiyo sanamu ya mnyama inene, tena iwasababishe kuuawa wote ambao hawangemwabudu hiyo sanamu ya mnyama. Nayo Marekani huwafanya wote, wadogo kwa wakubwa, na matajiri kwa maskini, na walio huru kwa watumwa, kutiwa chapa katika mkono wao wa kuume, au katika vipaji vya nyuso zao; tena kwamba mtu asipate kununua wala kuuza, isipokuwa yeye aliye nayo hiyo chapa, yaani, jina la yule mnyama au hesabu ya jina lake. Ufunuo 13:11–17.
In Revelation chapter thirteen, the dragon of pagan Rome gave the papacy three things as it placed the papacy on the throne of the earth.
Dans le chapitre treize de l’Apocalypse, le dragon de la Rome païenne donna trois choses à la papauté lorsqu’il plaça la papauté sur le trône de la terre.
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.
Et la bête que je vis était semblable à un léopard; ses pieds étaient comme ceux d’un ours, et sa gueule comme la gueule d’un lion. Et le dragon lui donna sa puissance, son trône, et une grande autorité. Apocalypse 13:2.
The ten kings who represent pagan Rome (France being the premier king of the ten as represented by Ahab) gave the papacy three things: power, seat and authority. When the emperor Constantine moved the capital from the city of Rome in the west, unto the east and made Constantinople the new capital of the Roman Empire in the year 330, pagan Rome then gave the church of Rome its “seat.”
Icyami cumi bahagarariye Roma ya gipagani (u Bufaransa bukaba umwami mukuru muri abo cumi nk’uko buhagarariwe na Ahabu) bahaye ubupapa ibintu bitatu: imbaraga, intebe n’ubutware. Igihe umwami w’abami Konsitantino yimuraga umurwa mukuru awukuye mu murwa wa Roma mu burengerazuba awujyana mu burasirazuba, maze akagira Konsitantinopule umurwa mukuru mushya w’Ubwami bwa Roma mu mwaka wa 330, Roma ya gipagani ni bwo yahaye itorero rya Roma “intebe” yaryo.
When Clovis, king of the Franks (France), converted to Catholicism and began to war against the powers that had been resisting the rise of the papacy to the throne of the earth in the year 496, pagan Rome then gave the papacy its “power.”
Nango Clovis, mfalme wa Wafranki (Ufaransa), alipogeukia Ukatoliki na kuanza kupigana vita dhidi ya mamlaka yaliyokuwa yakipinga kuinuka kwa upapa hadi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha dunia katika mwaka 496, ndipo Roma ya kipagani ikaipa upapa “uwezo” wake.
In 533, Justinian made a decree which identified the Roman church as both the head of all churches, and also as the corrector of heretics. At that point, the authority of pagan Rome had been given to the papacy.
Em 533, Justiniano promulgou um decreto que identificava a igreja de Roma tanto como a cabeça de todas as igrejas quanto como a corretora dos hereges. Naquele momento, a autoridade da Roma pagã havia sido entregue ao papado.
In verse twelve, “the [United States] exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.” The power that was exercised by the papacy is represented by Clovis, who dedicated his military and economic might unto the papacy. This is why Catholicism calls Clovis “the first born of the Catholic church,” and France the “eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” The United States will do the same dirty work for the papacy that Clovis began in 496.
Au verset douze, « [les États-Unis] exerce tout le pouvoir de la première bête devant elle ». Le pouvoir qu’exerçait la papauté est représenté par Clovis, qui consacra à la papauté sa puissance militaire et économique. C’est pourquoi le catholicisme appelle Clovis « le premier-né de l’Église catholique », et la France « la fille aînée de l’Église catholique ». Les États-Unis accompliront pour la papauté le même sale travail que Clovis entreprit en 496.
The power of the United States will be employed to cause “the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” The United States will employ its military and economic strength to cause the entire world to accept Sunday as a day of rest. The whore of Tyre will first commit fornication with the earth beast at the soon coming Sunday law, and then she will go forth and commit fornication with all the other kings of the earth.
Morena a United States a tla sebelisoa ho etsa hore “lefats’e le ba ahileng ho lona ba khumamele sebata sa pele, seo leqeba la sona le bolaeang le ileng la fola.” United States e tla sebelisa matla a eona a sesole le a moruo ho etsa hore lefatše lohle le amohele Sontaha e le letsatsi la phomolo. Seotsoa sa Tyre se tla qala ka ho etsa bofebe le sebata sa lefatše molaong oa Sontaha o seng o atamela ka potlako, ebe se tla tsoa se ee ho etsa bofebe le marena a mang kaofela a lefatše.
In verse thirteen, “the [United States] doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Fire represents an unholy message. Tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost represented a holy message that was accompanied with the ability to convey that message to the entire world. The fire that is brought down out of heaven by the United States will also impact every nation, and every tongue.
Katika aya ya kumi na tatu, “[Marekani] hufanya maajabu makuu, hata akashusha moto kutoka mbinguni uje juu ya nchi mbele ya macho ya wanadamu.” Moto unawakilisha ujumbe usio mtakatifu. Ndimi za moto katika siku ya Pentekoste ziliwakilisha ujumbe mtakatifu uliosindikizwa na uwezo wa kuuwasilisha ujumbe huo kwa ulimwengu wote. Moto utakaoshushwa kutoka mbinguni na Marekani pia utaathiri kila taifa, na kila lugha.
In verse fourteen, the United States deceives “them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which the [United States] 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.” The deception that is employed to deceive the world by the United States is represented by the fire that came down from heaven in the previous verse. The fire from heaven produces miracles that are employed by the United States to command the world to establish a one-world government that consists of the combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship.
Na aya ta goma sha huɗu, Amurka tana ruɗin “mazaunan duniya ta wurin waɗannan mu’ujizai waɗanda [Amurka] ta sami iko ta yi a gaban dabbar; tana ce wa mazaunan duniya su yi wa dabbar sura, wadda aka yi wa rauni da takobi, amma ta rayu.” Ruɗin da Amurka ke amfani da shi wajen ruɗin duniya an wakilta shi ta wurin wutar da ta sauko daga sama a aya ta baya.

This is what the relationship of Ahab and Jezebel represented when Elijah was raised up. Elijah’s battle at Mount Carmel was fulfilled in the beginning of the United States during the movement of the first angel from 1840 to 1844, for the purpose of distinguishing the true prophet of Protestantism from all of the false prophets of Protestantism.
Ahabi na Yezebeli kati ya Yehova na Eliya walipoinuliwa. Vita vya Eliya katika mlima Karmeli vilitimizwa mwanzoni mwa Marekani wakati wa vuguvugu la malaika wa kwanza kuanzia 1840 hadi 1844, kwa kusudi la kumtofautisha nabii wa kweli wa Uprotestanti na manabii wote wa uongo wa Uprotestanti.
It is fulfilled again at the ending of the United States, during the test of the formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, and ends at the soon-coming Sunday law.
Il s’accomplit de nouveau à la fin des États-Unis, durant l’épreuve de la formation de l’image de la bête qui a commencé le 11 septembre 2001 et s’achève avec la loi du dimanche bientôt à venir.
Elijah’s perfect fulfillment takes place before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, which is the seven last plagues. Therefore, Mount Carmel, Elijah, Ahab and Jezebel are represented in the work of the United States forcing planet earth to accept the one-world government of the United Nations that is ruled over by the Catholic Church. The United States accomplishes this act through its military might, its economic strength and the corrupted hypnotic communications that it directs and controls, represented by what is called the “information super highway” of the worldwide web.
পূর্ণতার সঙ্গে এলিয়ার পরিপূর্ণ পরিণতি সংঘটিত হয় প্রভুর সেই মহান ও ভয়ঙ্কর দিবসের পূর্বে, যা সাতটি শেষ মহামারী। অতএব, কার্মেল পর্বত, এলিয়া, আহাব ও ঈষেবল—এসবের প্রতিরূপ প্রকাশ পায় যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের সেই কর্মকাণ্ডে, যার দ্বারা তা পৃথিবীগ্রহকে বাধ্য করে জাতিসংঘের এক-বিশ্ব সরকারকে গ্রহণ করতে, যা রোমান ক্যাথলিক চার্চের শাসনাধীন। যুক্তরাষ্ট্র এই কার্য সাধন করে তার সামরিক পরাক্রম, তার অর্থনৈতিক শক্তি, এবং সেই বিকৃত সম্মোহনকারী যোগাযোগব্যবস্থার মাধ্যমে, যা সে পরিচালনা ও নিয়ন্ত্রণ করে—যার প্রতিরূপ বিশ্বব্যাপী ওয়েবের তথাকথিত “information super highway” নামে পরিচিত।
In verse fifteen, we are informed that “the [United States] 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.” The threat of death by the military might of the United States, then representing the premier king of the United Nations, empowers the one-world government of the United Nations to speak. The action of speaking is accomplished through a legislative and judicial authority. The legislative branch of the United Nations is in New York and the judicial branch of the United Nations is in The Hague, Netherlands. The Hague represents the Old World and New York the New World. Both the United States and the Netherlands have past histories where they stood out as premier defenders of liberty and freedom, but both end their respective histories—speaking as a dragon.
હે બાવીસમા શ્લોકમાં અમને જણાવવામાં આવે છે કે “[સંયુક્ત રાજ્ય અમેરિકા] પાસે એ પ્રાણીને પ્રતિમાને પ્રાણ આપવાની શક્તિ હતી, જેથી પ્રાણીને પ્રતિમા બોલે અને પ્રાણીને પ્રતિમાની ઉપાસના ન કરનાર જેટલા હોય તેઓને મારી નાખવામાં આવે.” તેથી સંયુક્ત રાષ્ટ્રોના અગ્રણી રાજાનું પ્રતિનિધિત્વ કરતા સંયુક્ત રાજ્ય અમેરિકાની સૈન્યસત્તા દ્વારા મૃત્યુની ધમકી, સંયુક્ત રાષ્ટ્રોની એક-વિશ્વ સરકારને બોલવાની શક્તિ આપે છે. બોલવાની ક્રિયા વિધાનકારી અને ન્યાયતંત્રની સત્તા દ્વારા પૂર્ણ થાય છે. સંયુક્ત રાષ્ટ્રોની વિધાનકારી શાખા ન્યૂ યોર્કમાં છે અને સંયુક્ત રાષ્ટ્રોની ન્યાયતંત્રની શાખા નેધરલેન્ડ્સના ધ હેગમાં છે. ધ હેગ જૂના વિશ્વનું પ્રતિનિધિત્વ કરે છે અને ન્યૂ યોર્ક નવા વિશ્વનું. સંયુક્ત રાજ્ય અમેરિકા અને નેધરલેન્ડ્સ બન્નેના ભૂતકાળમાં તેઓ સ્વતંત્રતા અને મુક્તિના અગ્રણી રક્ષકો તરીકે વિશેષ રીતે પ્રગટ થયા હતા, પરંતુ બન્ને પોતપોતાના ઇતિહાસનો અંત—અજગરની જેમ બોલતાં—કરે છે.
“As the Sabbath has become the special point of controversy throughout Christendom, and religious and secular authorities have combined to enforce the observance of the Sunday, the persistent refusal of a small minority to yield to the popular demand will make them objects of universal execration. . .. and a decree will finally be issued against those who hallow the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, denouncing them as deserving of the severest punishment and giving the people liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death. Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.
“ന്യായവിരാമദിവസം സമസ്ത ക്രിസ്തീയലോകത്താകെ പ്രത്യേക വിവാദവിഷയമായി മാറിയിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ, ഞായറാഴ്ചയുടെ ആചരണം നിർബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുവാൻ മതപരവും ലൗകികവും ആയ അധികാരികൾ ഒരുമിച്ചുകൂടിയിരിക്കെ, ജനപ്രിയമായ ആവശ്യത്തിനുമുന്നിൽ വഴങ്ങുവാൻ ഒരു ചെറു ന്യൂനപക്ഷം നിരന്തരം വിസമ്മതിക്കുന്നതുകൊണ്ടു അവർ സർവ്വസാധാരണ ശാപത്തിന്റെയും വെറുപ്പിന്റെയും ലക്ഷ്യങ്ങളാകും.... ഒടുവിൽ നാലാം കല്പനയിലെ ന്യായവിരാമദിവസത്തെ വിശുദ്ധമായി ആചരിക്കുന്നവർക്കെതിരെ ഒരു ഉത്തരവും പുറപ്പെടുവിക്കപ്പെടും; അവർ അതികഠിനമായ ശിക്ഷയ്ക്കു അർഹരാണെന്ന് പ്രഖ്യാപിച്ചും, ഒരു നിശ്ചിത സമയത്തിനു ശേഷം അവരെ മരണത്തിനിരയാക്കുവാൻ ജനങ്ങൾക്ക് സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം നല്കിയും ചെയ്യും. പഴയ ലോകത്തിലെ റോമാനിസവും പുതിയ ലോകത്തിലെ മതഭ്രഷ്ട പ്രൊട്ടസ്റ്റന്റിസവും ദൈവിക കല്പനകളൊക്കെയും മാനിക്കുന്നവർക്കെതിരെ സമാനമായ ഒരു നടപടിപഥം പിന്തുടരും.”
“The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress described by the prophet as the time of Jacob’s trouble.” The Great Controversy, 615, 616.
“Ijaamni Waaqayyoo yeroo sana keessatti gara mul’ata dhiphinaa fi rakkinaa raajichi akka yeroo dhiphina Yaaqoobitti ibse sanaatti ni bu’u.” The Great Controversy, 615, 616.
In verse sixteen and seventeen, after the image of the beast has been set up and empowered to speak, the “[United States] 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.”
मसीح-विरोधी पशु की प्रतिमा स्थापित कर दी जाने और उसे बोलने की शक्ति दिए जाने के बाद, सोलहवें और सत्रहवें पद में लिखा है कि “[संयुक्त राज्य] सब को, छोटे और बड़े, धनी और निर्धन, स्वतंत्र और दास, यह बाध्य करता है कि वे अपने दाहिने हाथ पर या अपने माथे पर एक छाप ग्रहण करें; और कोई मनुष्य न तो खरीद सके और न बेच सके, सिवाय उसके जिसके पास वह छाप, या पशु का नाम, या उसके नाम की संख्या हो।”
The formation of the image of the beast is the test that precedes the test of the mark of the beast. If we do not pass the test that is represented by the formation of the image of the beast, we will fail the test of the mark of the beast. They are two different tests, and they are two different types of tests.
La formation de l’image de la bête est l’épreuve qui précède celle de la marque de la bête. Si nous ne réussissons pas l’épreuve représentée par la formation de l’image de la bête, nous échouerons à l’épreuve de la marque de la bête. Ce sont deux épreuves différentes, et ce sont deux types d’épreuves distincts.
The formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, is the prophetic warning that the close of probation is about to take place. It is the Elijah message that identifies that Mount Carmel is on the near horizon, and that God’s people need to secure the oil of character, the oil of the Holy Spirit and the oil of the message of the Midnight Cry before the final call is made. They need to awaken, so that when Elijah asks them, “How long halt ye between two opinions?”—they will not be speechless, for to be speechless then is to receive the mark of the beast. The image of the beast test represents the work of understanding the message that announces the close of the judgment, just as the message of the Millerites announced the opening of the judgment.
A natokana ya ekeko ya nyama, oyo ebandaki na mokolo ya 11 Sɛtɛmbɛ 2001, ezali likebisi ya esakweli ete bokangami ya ngolu elingi kosalema. Ezali nsango ya Eliya oyo emonisaka ete Ngomba Karamele ezali pene na horizon, mpe ete bato ya Nzambe basengeli komikundolela mafuta ya ezaleli, mafuta ya Molimo Mosantu mpe mafuta ya nsango ya Kolela ya Kati ya Butu liboso ete mobeleli ya nsuka esalema. Basengeli kolamuka, mpo ete ntango Eliya akotuna bango, “Kino ntango nini bokotɛngatɛnga kati na makanisi mibale?”—bákózala te kozanga maloba, mpo kozanga maloba na tango wana ezali kozwa elembo ya nyama. Momekano ya ekeko ya nyama ezali komonisa mosala ya kososola nsango oyo esakolaka bokangami ya kosambisama, kaka ndenge nsango ya ba-Millerite esakolaki bofungwami ya kosambisama.
The mark of the beast test, involves no choice, for it contains no element of probationary time. It is a point in time, not a period of time. It is a crisis, and therefore it is a litmus test that will identify the character of those Israelites that have been summoned to Mount Carmel by Ahab at the Sunday law. They will then demonstrate the character that they have developed during the previous period of time, prophetically called the image of the beast test.
Ikizamini c’ikimenyetso c’inyamaswa ntikirimwo ihitamwo, kuko kitagira ikintu na kimwe c’igihe c’igeragezwa. Ni umwanya umwe mu gihe, si ikiringo c’igihe. Ni ingorane ikomeye, kandi rero ni ikigeragezo cerekana neza kamere y’abo Bisirayeli bahamagariwe ku Musozi Karumeli na Ahabu ku gihe c’itegeko ry’iyinga. Maze bazoca bagaragaza kamere batsimbataje mu kiringo c’igihe cabanje, mu buryo bw’ubuvugishwa bwitwa ikizamini c’igishushanyo c’inyamaswa.
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:7–15.
C’est pourquoi, comme le dit le Saint-Esprit : Aujourd’hui, si vous entendez sa voix, n’endurcissez pas vos cœurs, comme lors de la révolte, au jour de la tentation dans le désert, où vos pères me tentèrent, m’éprouvèrent, et virent mes œuvres pendant quarante ans. C’est pourquoi je fus irrité contre cette génération, et je dis : Ils s’égarent toujours dans leur cœur ; et ils n’ont point connu mes voies. Aussi jurai-je dans ma colère : Ils n’entreront pas dans mon repos.) Prenez garde, frères, qu’il n’y ait en quelqu’un de vous un cœur mauvais et incrédule, au point de se détourner du Dieu vivant. Mais exhortez-vous les uns les autres chaque jour, aussi longtemps qu’il est dit : Aujourd’hui ; afin qu’aucun de vous ne s’endurcisse par la séduction du péché. Car nous sommes devenus participants de Christ, pourvu que nous retenions fermement jusqu’à la fin le commencement de notre assurance, pendant qu’il est dit : Aujourd’hui, si vous entendez sa voix, n’endurcissez pas vos cœurs, comme lors de la révolte. Hébreux 3:7–15.
