We are currently looking very closely at the prophetic characteristics of the history where the papacy returns to the throne of the earth as the eighth head, that is of the seven heads. We are doing so, in order to carefully identify the prophetic characteristics of the history when the eighth president, that is of the seven presidents, fulfills the formation of the image of the papal beast. We have begun our considerations of these truths with Mount Carmel and Herod’s birthday. Both sacred illustrations represent the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, which is also represented in verse forty-one of Daniel chapter eleven.

Tam sim no tab tom tshuaj xyuas kom ze heev txog cov cwj pwm cev lus faj lem ntawm keeb kwm ntawd uas thaum lub papacy rov qab los zaum saum lub zwm txwv ntawm lub ntiaj teb ua tus taub hau yim, uas yog ntawm xya lub taub hau. Peb ua li no kom thiaj li txheeb xyuas tau kom meej thiab ceev faj txog cov cwj pwm cev lus faj lem ntawm keeb kwm ntawd thaum tus thawj tswj hwm yim, uas yog ntawm xya tus thawj tswj hwm, ua kom tiav txoj kev tsim tsa daim duab ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum papal. Peb twb pib peb txoj kev xav txog cov tseeb no nrog Mount Carmel thiab Helaudex hnub yug. Ob daim duab piv txwv dawb huv no sawv cev rau txoj cai Sunday uas tab tom yuav los sai hauv Tebchaws Meskas, uas kuj raug sawv cev hauv nqe plaub caug-ib ntawm Daniel tshooj kaum ib thiab.

He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. Daniel 11:41.

Nws kuj tseem yuav nkag mus rau hauv lub tebchaws muaj hwjchim ci ntsa iab, thiab ntau lub tebchaws yuav raug rhuav tshem; tiam sis cov no yuav dim tawm ntawm nws txhais tes, yog Edom, thiab Mo‑a, thiab cov thawj ntawm cov xeeb ntxwv Amon. Daniel 11:41.

The counterfeit king of the north enters the glorious land in the verse. The glorious land in the history of ancient Israel was the land of Judah, and it was represented as a land flowing with milk and honey, and for this reason, among others, it was glorious. It was glorious because Christ chose its capital city Jerusalem, as the place of His temple, and the city where he chose to place His name.

Huab tais cuav ntawm sab qaum teb nkag mus rau hauv lub tebchaws muaj hwjchim ci ntsa iab hauv nqe ntawd. Lub tebchaws muaj hwjchim ci ntsa iab hauv keeb kwm ntawm cov Yixayee thaum ub yog lub tebchaws Yudas, thiab nws tau raug sawv cev ua ib thaj av uas ntws muaj mis nyuj thiab zib ntab, thiab vim li no, nrog rau lwm yam laj thawj, nws thiaj yog ib thaj av muaj hwjchim ci ntsa iab. Nws muaj hwjchim ci ntsa iab vim Khetos tau xaiv nws lub nroog peev Yeluxalees ua qhov chaw ntawm Nws lub tuam tsev, thiab ua lub nroog uas Nws tau xaiv los tso Nws lub npe rau ntawd.

Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel: But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 2 Chronicles 6:5, 6.

Txij hnub uas Kuv coj Kuv haiv neeg tawm hauv tebchaws Iyi los, Kuv tsis tau xaiv ib lub nroog twg hauv txhua xeem neeg Ixayees kom txhim tsa ib lub tuam tsev rau hauv, kom Kuv lub npe nyob ntawd; thiab Kuv kuj tsis tau xaiv ib tug neeg twg los ua tus kav Kuv haiv neeg Ixayees: Tiamsis Kuv tau xaiv Yeluxalees, kom Kuv lub npe nyob ntawd; thiab Kuv tau xaiv Daviv los kav Kuv haiv neeg Ixayees. 2 Vaj Keeb Kwm 6:5, 6.

The literal land of Judah was the glorious land for literal ancient Israel, and the United States is the spiritual land of Judah, the glorious land for spiritual modern Israel.

Lub tebchaws Yudas tiag yog lub tebchaws muaj yeeb koob rau cov Yixayee thaum ub tiag, thiab Tebchaws Meskas yog lub tebchaws Yudas sab ntsuj plig, yog lub tebchaws muaj yeeb koob rau cov Yixayee sab ntsuj plig niaj hnub no.

“When the land which the Lord provided as an asylum for His people, that they might worship Him according to the dictates of their own consciences, the land over which for long years the shield of Omnipotence has been spread, the land which God has favored by making it the depository of the pure religion of Christ,—when that land shall, through its legislators, abjure the principles of Protestantism, and give countenance to Romish apostasy in tampering with God’s law,—it is then that the final work of the man of sin will be revealed.” Signs of the Times, June 12, 1893.

“Thaum lub tebchaws uas tus Tswv tau npaj tseg ua ib qho chaw nkaum rau Nws haiv neeg, xwv kom lawv thiaj pe hawm Nws raws li tej lus txib ntawm lawv tus kheej lub siab ntsws, lub tebchaws uas ntau xyoo ntev los lawm daim thaiv ntawm Tus Muaj Hwjchim Loj Kawg Nkaus tau nthuav los npog saum nws, lub tebchaws uas Vajtswv tau pub txiaj ntsim tshwjxeeb rau los ntawm kev tsa nws ua qhov chaw khaws cia ntawm txojkev ntseeg dawb huv ntawm Khetos,—thaum lub tebchaws ntawd, los ntawm nws cov neeg tsim cai lij choj, yuav tsis lees txais tej ntsiab cai ntawm Protestantism, thiab yuav txhawb nqa txojkev thim rov qab ntawm Loos hauv kev cuam tshuam nrog Vajtswv txoj kevcai,—ces yog lub sijhawm ntawd uas tes haujlwm kawg ntawm tus neeg txhaum yuav raug nthuav tawm.” Signs of the Times, June 12, 1893.

After the counterfeit king of the north conquered the king of the south (the former Soviet Union), in verse forty, in 1989, it then conquers the glorious land (the United States). In verse forty-one the word “countries” is a supplied word, and is not fully accurate, for at the Sunday law, the “many” who are overthrown are a class of people who knew the distinction between the seventh-day Sabbath and the day of the sun, before the Sunday law arrived.

Tom qab tus vajntxwv dag ntawm sab qaum teb yeej tus vajntxwv ntawm sab qab teb (yav tas los yog Koom Haum Soviet), hauv nqe plaub caug, xyoo 1989, nws mam li kov yeej lub tebchaws muaj hwjchim ci ntsa iab (Tebchaws Meskas). Hauv nqe plaub caug ib, lo lus “countries” yog ib lo lus uas raug ntxiv rau, thiab tsis yog qhov tseeb txaus, rau qhov thaum txoj cai hnub Sunday los txog, cov “coob leej” uas raug rhuav tshem ntawd yog ib pawg neeg uas twb paub qhov txawv ntawm Hnub Xanpataus hnub xya thiab hnub ntawm lub hnub, ua ntej txoj cai hnub Sunday los txog.

“The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Roman church. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false Sabbath in the place of the true, are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. The mark of the beast is the papal Sabbath, which has been accepted by the world in the place of the day of God’s appointment.

“Kev hloov Hnub Xanpataus yog lub cim los yog lub ntawv foob ntawm txoj cai kav uas lub koom txoos Loos muaj. Cov uas, thaum nkag siab txog tej kev thov txim ntawm lo lus txib plaub, tseem xaiv yuav coj raws li hnub xanpataus cuav hloov chaw rau hnub xanpataus tseeb, los ntawm qhov ntawd lawv tab tom pe hawm rau lub hwj chim ntawd uas tsuas yog los ntawm nws xwb thiaj tau raug txib li ntawd. Lub cim ntawm tsiaj qus yog hnub xanpataus papal, uas lub ntiajteb tau txais los hloov chaw rau hnub uas Vajtswv tau teem tseg.”

“But the time to receive the mark of the beast, as designated in prophecy, has not yet come. The testing time has not yet come. There are true Christians in every church, not excepting the Roman Catholic communion. None are condemned until they have had the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment. But when the decree shall go forth enforcing the counterfeit Sabbath, and when the loud cry of the third angel shall warn men against the worship of the beast and his image, the line will be clearly drawn between the false and the true. Then those who still continue in transgression will receive the mark of the beast in their foreheads or in their hands.

“Tiamsis lub sij hawm los txais lub cim ntawm tus tsiaj qus, raws li tau teev tseg hauv lo lus faj lem, tseem tsis tau los txog. Lub sij hawm ntawm txoj kev sim siab tseem tsis tau los txog. Muaj cov Khixatia tseeb nyob hauv txhua pawg ntseeg, tsis suav tseg txawm yog kev koom tes ntawm Koom Txoos Loos Kas Tos Liv. Tsis muaj leej twg raug txiav txim kom txog thaum lawv tau txais txoj kev kaj thiab tau pom qhov kev khi lus uas nyob hauv nqe lus txib plaub. Tiamsis thaum daim ntawv txib yuav tawm mus yuam kom ceev hnub Xanpataus cuav, thiab thaum lub suab qw nrov ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb yuav ceeb toom tib neeg kom tawm tsam kev pe hawm tus tsiaj qus thiab nws tus duab, ces txoj kab cais yuav raug kos kom meej tseeb nruab nrab ntawm qhov cuav thiab qhov tseeb. Ces cov uas tseem pheej txuas ntxiv nyob hauv txoj kev txhaum cai yuav txais lub cim ntawm tus tsiaj qus rau ntawm lawv pliaj lossis rau ntawm lawv txhais tes.

“With rapid steps we are approaching this period. When Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution, then will the papal Sabbath be enforced by the combined authority of church and state. There will be a national apostasy, which will end only in national ruin.” Bible Training School, February 2, 1913.

“Nrog tej kauj ruam nrawm peb tab tom los txog rau lub sijhawm no. Thaum cov pawg ntseeg Protestant yuav koom tes nrog lub hwj chim ntiajteb los txhawb nqa ib txoj kev ntseeg cuav, uas vim tawm tsam qhov ntawd lawv cov yawg koob tau tiv kev tsim txom hnyav tshaj plaws, ces hnub Xanpataus ntawm lub hwj chim papal yuav raug yuam siv los ntawm txoj cai sib koom ua ke ntawm pawg ntseeg thiab xeev. Yuav muaj kev thim txojkev ntseeg ntawm tebchaws, uas yuav xaus tsuas yog hauv kev puastsuaj ntawm tebchaws xwb.” Bible Training School, February 2, 1913.

The class of “many” who are overthrown at the soon-coming Sunday law, are those who will be held accountable to the light of the Sabbath, which is the light that is given for that time, which is a turning point, and a crisis in the history of both the church and the nations. That class is the church of Laodicean Adventism that has reached their conclusion of wandering in the wilderness of rebellion. It is there that they are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord for eternity. Laodicean Adventism are those who were called unto the light of the third angel, either at the first Kadesh in the history of 1844, unto 1863, or at the second Kadesh in the history of 2001, unto the Sunday law.

Pawg ntawm cov “coob leej” uas raug muab rhuav tshem thaum txoj kevcai Sunday uas yuav los sai no, yog cov uas yuav raug tuav kom lees txim raws li txoj kev kaj ntawm Hnub Xanpataus, uas yog txoj kev kaj uas raug muab rau lub sijhawm ntawd, uas yog ib qho chaw tig pauv, thiab yog ib qho kev kub ntxhov hauv keeb kwm ntawm ob leeg—lub koom txoos thiab haiv neeg ntiajteb. Pawg ntawd yog lub koom txoos ntawm Laodicean Adventism uas twb mus txog qhov xaus ntawm lawv txoj kev taug kev yuam kev hauv tebchaws moj sab qhua ntawm kev ntxeev siab lawm. Nyob ntawd lawv raug ntuav tawm ntawm tus Tswv lub qhov ncauj mus ib txhis. Laodicean Adventism yog cov uas raug hu los rau txoj kev kaj ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb, txawm yog thaum thawj Kadesh hauv keeb kwm xyoo 1844, mus txog xyoo 1863, los yog thaum Kadesh thib ob hauv keeb kwm xyoo 2001, mus txog txoj kevcai Sunday.

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:12–14.

Nws hais rau nws tias, Phooj ywg, ua li cas koj thiaj los tau hauv no yam tsis hnav tsoos tsho tshoob kos? Thiab nws hais tsis tau ib lo lus li. Ces vajntxwv hais rau cov tub qhe tias, Cia li khi nws ob txhais tes thiab ob txhais taw, coj nws mus pov rau hauv qhov tsaus ntuj sab nraud; nyob ntawd yuav muaj kev quaj ntsuag thiab tom hniav. Rau qhov coob leej raug hu, tiamsis tsawg leej raug xaiv. Mathais 22:12–14.

The voice of the third angel, either in 1844, or 2001, was a call unto the wedding. The “many” that are overthrown at the Sunday law, are the “many” who rejected the wedding garment of Christ’s righteousness, and instead become part of the marriage party of the ten kings unto the whore of Rome. For that marriage, a person can keep their own garments, for all they need to take away their reproach is to be called by the surname of the whore that reigns over the ten kings.

Lub suab ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb, txawm yog xyoo 1844 los yog xyoo 2001, yog ib txoj kev hu caw los rau txoj kev tshoob kos. Cov “coob leej” uas raug muab rhuav tshem thaum txoj cai hnub Sunday los txog, yog cov “coob leej” uas tau tsis kam txais lub tshoob tsho ntawm Khetos txoj kev ncaj ncees, thiab hloov chaw los ua ib feem ntawm pawg kev sib yuav ntawm kaum tus vajntxwv nrog tus niam ntiav ntawm Loos. Rau txoj kev sib yuav ntawd, ib tug neeg kuj khaws tau nws tus kheej tej tsoos tsho, rau qhov txhua yam uas lawv xav tau kom tshem lawv txoj kev txaj muag tawm mus tsuas yog kom raug hu raws li lub xeem ntawm tus niam ntiav uas kav saum kaum tus vajntxwv xwb.

And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. Isaiah 4:1.

Thiab nyob rau hnub ntawd xya tus pojniam yuav los tuav ib tug txivneej, hais tias, Peb yuav noj peb tus kheej mov, thiab hnav peb tus kheej khaub ncaws; tsuas yog cia peb raug hu raws li koj lub npe xwb, kom tshem tau peb txoj kev txaj muag. Yaxayas 4:1.

They failed the first dietary test, for they chose to eat their own bread, instead of the bread of heaven. They failed the second test where they were to glorify God by manifesting His character, but they chose instead to wear their own garments. They failed the third litmus test, for they manifested the name (character) of the beast, for they chose to reject the name (character) of Christ. The purpose that Nimrod built a city (state), and a tower (church), in the first mention of Babylon, was that he might make himself a name.

Lawv poob qhov kev sim thawj zaug hais txog kev noj haus, rau qhov lawv xaiv noj lawv tus kheej cov mov, tsis yog mov saum ntuj. Lawv poob qhov kev sim zaum ob uas lawv yuav tsum ua kom Vajtswv tau koob meej los ntawm kev nthuav tawm Nws tus cwj pwm, tiam sis lawv xaiv hnav lawv tus kheej tej ris tsho. Lawv poob qhov kev sim txheeb xyuas zaum peb, rau qhov lawv tau nthuav tawm lub npe (cwj pwm) ntawm tus tsiaj qus, vim lawv xaiv tsis lees txais lub npe (cwj pwm) ntawm Khetos. Lub hom phiaj uas Nimrod tau txhim tsa ib lub nroog (xeev), thiab ib lub pej thuam (pawg ntseeg), hauv thawj qhov uas Npanpiloo raug hais txog, yog kom nws thiaj ua tau ib lub npe rau nws tus kheej.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:4.

Lawv txawm hais tias, Cia li los, peb yuav txhim ib lub nroog thiab ib tug pej thuam rau peb, uas nws lub ncov yuav mus txog saum ntuj; thiab cia peb ua kom peb muaj npe nrov, tsam peb yuav tawg mus nyob thoob plaws saum npoo av tag nrho. Chivkeeb 11:4.

Name is a symbol of character, and the prophetic character of the eighth beast, that is of the seven, is the twofold nature of the combination of Church (tower) and State (city). In the crisis of the last days men will separate into two classes.

Lub npe yog ib lub cim ntawm tus cwj pwm, thiab tus cwj pwm yaj saub ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum thib yim, uas yog ntawm xya tus, yog ob chav xwm ntawm kev koom ua ke ntawm Lub Koom Txoos (tus pej thuam) thiab Lub Xeev (lub nroog). Hauv txoj kev kub ntxhov ntawm hnub kawg no, tib neeg yuav sib cais ua ob pab.

“There can be only two classes. Each party is distinctly stamped, either with the seal of the living God, or with the mark of the beast or his image. Each son and daughter of Adam chooses either Christ or Barabbas as his general. And all who place themselves on the side of the disloyal are standing under Satan’s black banner, and are charged with rejecting and despitefully using Christ. They are charged with deliberately crucifying the Lord of life and glory.” Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.

“Yuav muaj tau tsuas yog ob pawg xwb. Txhua tog raug cim tseg kom meej, yog nrog lub foob ntawm Vajtswv uas muaj sia nyob, los yog nrog lub cim ntawm tsiaj nyaum lossis ntawm nws daim duab. Txhua tus tub thiab tus ntxhais ntawm Adas xaiv Khetos los yog Barabas ua nws tus thawj coj. Thiab txhua tus uas tso lawv tus kheej rau sab ntawm cov tsis ncaj ncees tab tom sawv hauv Xatas tus chij dub, thiab raug liam tias tau tsis kam lees thiab ua phem thuam Khetos. Lawv raug liam tias txhob txwm ntsia tus Tswv uas yog txoj sia thiab lub hwjchim ci ntsa iab rau saum ntoo khaub lig.” Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.

One class will represent the image of the beast, and the other class will represent the image of Christ. One will be wearing Christ’s wedding garment, and the other class will be wearing “their own apparel.” One class will be eating the heavenly diet, and the other will be eating their “own bread.” The class that eats their own bread, and retains their own apparel, represent the “many” who were called by the voice of the third angel, and they are the “many” who are overthrown at the soon-coming Sunday law. Their attempt to redeem their lost condition when their characters are manifested at the crisis of the Sunday law is the false hope that if they can accept the name of the whore of Rome, that doing so will take away their “reproach.”

Ib pab yuav sawv cev rau tus yam ntxwv ntawm tus tsiaj qus, hos ib pab ntxiv yuav sawv cev rau tus yam ntxwv ntawm Khetos. Ib pab yuav hnav Khetos lub tsho tshoob kos, hos ib pab ntxiv yuav hnav “lawv tej ris tsho ntawm lawv tus kheej.” Ib pab yuav noj cov zaub mov saum ntuj ceeb tsheej, hos ib pab ntxiv yuav noj lawv “tej mov ntawm lawv tus kheej.” Pab uas noj lawv tej mov ntawm lawv tus kheej, thiab khaws lawv tej ris tsho ntawm lawv tus kheej, sawv cev rau “coob leej” uas tau raug hu los ntawm lub suab ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb, thiab lawv yog cov “coob leej” uas yuav raug muab rhuav tshem thaum txoj cai Sunday uas yuav los sai sai no los txog. Lawv qhov kev sim los txhiv lawv tus kheej txoj kev poob ploj thaum lawv tus cwj pwm raug nthuav tawm thaum lub sij hawm kev kub ntxhov ntawm txoj cai Sunday ntawd yog txoj kev cia siab cuav tias yog lawv txais lub npe ntawm tus niam ntiav ntawm Loos, ces qhov ntawd yuav tshem tau lawv “kev txaj muag.”

At that time, the few who are chosen are lifted up as the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and there is then another group in verse forty-one who then “escape” the hand of the counterfeit king of the north. The Hebrew word translated as “escape,” in verse forty-one, means to escape as if by slipperiness, and the definition conveys the idea of holding a bar of soap in the water, and due to the slipperiness of the soap, it slips out of your hand. The primary element of the definition of the word, when it is employed in the Hebrew language is that whatever it is that escapes, is something that had, prior to the escape, been under the control of whatever it escapes from.

Lub sijhawm ntawd, cov tsawg leej uas raug xaiv raug tsa siab ua tus chij ntawm ib puas plaub caug plaub txhiab leej, thiab tom qab ntawd hauv nqe plaub caug-ib tseem muaj dua ib pab neeg uas ces “dim tawm” ntawm txhais tes ntawm tus vajntxwv cuav ntawm sab qaum teb. Lo lus Henplais uas raug txhais ua “dim tawm,” hauv nqe plaub caug-ib, txhais tias dim tawm zoo li vim kev nplua, thiab qhov kev txhais ntawd nqa lub tswv yim zoo li tuav ib daim xab npum hauv dej, thiab vim xab npum nplua heev, nws plam tawm ntawm koj txhais tes. Lub ntsiab tseem ceeb ntawm lo lus no, thaum siv hauv lus Henplais, yog tias yam twg dim tawm ntawd, yog ib yam uas ua ntej nws dim tawm, twb nyob hauv qab kev tswj hwm ntawm yam uas nws dim tawm ntawm lawm.

In verse forty-one, the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet is accomplished.

Hauv nqe plaub caug ib, txoj kev sib koom ua ib pawg peb seem ntawm tus zaj, tus tsiaj nyaum, thiab tus cev Vajtswv lus cuav, tau raug ua kom tiav.

“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.

“Cov Protestants hauv Tebchaws Meskas yuav yog cov xub ntiag tshaj plaws hauv kev ncab tes hla lub hav tob kom mus tuav tes ntawm Kev Ntseeg Ntsujplig; lawv yuav ncav tes hla lub chaw tob tob mus sib tuav tes nrog lub hwjchim Roman; thiab nyob hauv qab txoj kev cuam tshuam ntawm qhov kev sib koom peb npaug no, lub tebchaws no yuav taug raws li tej kauj ruam ntawm Loos hauv kev tsuj nphau cov cai ntawm lub siab dawb paug.” The Great Controversy, 588.

When the United States joins hands with the United Nations, and the papacy at the Sunday law, there is a group of people who have previously been in the hand of the papacy, who then “escape” from the counterfeit king of the north’s hand. Those people were previously held in the grasp of the papal power. Those people are represented at Herod’s birthday party by John the Baptist, who was then in the captivity of the Roman dungeons, awaiting death or deliverance. The class of people who escape the captivity of the papacy at the Sunday law, are represented by three tribes, and thus symbolize the threefold makeup of modern Babylon.

Thaum Tebchaws Meskas koom tes nrog Tebchaws Meskas Kev Sib Koom Siab, thiab nrog lub hwjchim papacy hauv txoj cai Sunday, muaj ib pab neeg uas yav tas los twb nyob hauv tes ntawm papacy lawm, ces lawv thiaj “dim” tawm hauv tes ntawm tus huab tais cuav ntawm sab qaum teb. Cov neeg ntawd yav tas los raug tuav cia hauv txoj kev tswj hwm ruaj khov ntawm lub hwjchim papal. Cov neeg ntawd raug sawv cev nyob rau hauv Herod hnub yug rooj noj mov los ntawm Yauhas uas ua kevcai raus dej, tus uas thaum ntawd raug kaw hauv tej qhov taub lojcuj Loos, tos ntsoov kev tuag lossis kev dim. Pab neeg uas dim tawm hauv kev poob cev qhev ntawm papacy thaum txoj cai Sunday los txog, raug sawv cev los ntawm peb xeem, thiab yog li no lawv ua cim qhia txog peb feem kev tsim ntawm Npanpiloo niaj hnub nimno.

At that very time, the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, calls those people to flee out of Babylon, that they not partake of her judgments that are then to begin. That second voice, is the voice of Christ, but it represents the voice of the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are then proclaiming the third angels’ message with a loud voice. When those who escape the hand (a symbol of submission), they escape the hand of the counterfeit king of the north, and they then find the hand of the true king of the north.

Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm ntawd, lub suab thib ob hauv Tshwm Sim tshooj kaum yim hu cov neeg ntawd kom khiav tawm hauv Npanpiloo, xwv kom lawv tsis txhob koom nrog nws tej kev txiav txim uas yuav pib thaum ntawd. Lub suab thib ob ntawd yog lub suab ntawm Khetos, tiamsis nws sawv cev rau lub suab ntawm ib puas plaub caug plaub txhiab leej uas thaum ntawd tab tom tshaj tawm peb tug timtswv txoj xov nrog lub suab nrov nrov. Thaum cov uas dim tawm ntawm txhais tes (ib lub cim ntawm kev zwm rau), lawv dim tawm ntawm txhais tes ntawm tus vajntxwv cuav ntawm sab qaum teb, thiab ces lawv thiaj nrhiav tau txhais tes ntawm tus vajntxwv tseeb ntawm sab qaum teb.

At Mount Carmel the prophets of Baal were slain, and as the masculine false deity they represent the State, and the prophets of Ashtaroth represent the Church. Elijah slew the prophets of Baal, thus identifying the end of the sixth kingdom, though the religion of apostate Protestantism as represented by Salome, was still represented. Salome, Apostate Protestantism, as Salome, seduces Herod, and the ten kings agree to enter into a Church and State alliance with the eighth head, that was of the seven heads. Salome is the one who the incestuous Herod lusts after in his heart.

Nyob rau saum Roob Khamel, cov yaj saub ntawm Npas-as raug tua, thiab raws li tus vajtswv cuav uas yog pojniamtxiv neej lawv sawv cev rau Lub Xeev, hos cov yaj saub ntawm Ashtaloos sawv cev rau lub Koom Txoos. Eliyas tua cov yaj saub ntawm Npas-as, li no thiaj qhia meej txog qhov kawg ntawm lub nceeg vaj thib rau, txawm li cas los xij txoj kev ntseeg ntawm Protestantism uas poob cev qhev, raws li sawv cev los ntawm Xalomes, tseem raug sawv cev nyob. Xalomes, Protestantism uas poob cev qhev, raws li Xalomes, ntxias Helauj, thiab kaum tus vajntxwv pom zoo los nkag mus rau hauv ib qho kev sib koom tes ntawm lub Koom Txoos thiab Lub Xeev nrog lub taub hau thib yim, uas yog los ntawm xya lub taub hau. Xalomes yog tus uas Helauj tus ua kev txhaum kev sib deev nrog kwvtij nkauj muam, muaj kev ntshaw tom qab hauv nws lub siab.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28.

Tiamsis kuv hais rau nej tias, tus twg saib ib tug pojniam nrog kev ntshaw nws twb tau deev luag pojniam nrog nws hauv nws lub siab lawm. Mathais 5:28.

Herod’s incestuous lust in his heart, joined their flesh together in his heart, and he therefore became one with Salome.

Kevexa txoj kev ntshaw phem uas yog kev sib deev nrog txheeb ze hauv nws lub siab, tau koom nkawd cev nqaij daim tawv ua ke rau hauv nws lub siab, thiab yog li ntawd nws thiaj los ua ib lub cev nrog Salome.

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.

Vim li no ib tug txiv neej yuav tsum tso nws txiv thiab nws niam tseg, thiab yuav npuab nws tus poj niam: ces nkawd yuav dhau los ua ib cev nqaij. Chivkeeb 2:24.

At Herod’s birthday party, Herod and Salome became united, and Herod, who was typified by Ahab, is the head of the ten kings of the northern kingdom. At the soon coming Sunday law, the sixth kingdom of the earth beast ends when the horns that had become one horn representing the combination of the horns of Church and State (the image of the beast), is slain by Elijah. Salome then seduces Herod, becomes one with him, and convinces him to give half his kingdom (the world-wide State) to her mother (the world-wide Church). Salome has then taken control of Ahab and his ten tribes, for the ten kings all agree with each other.

Thaum lub rooj mov yug hnub ntawm Herod, Herod thiab Salome tau los koom ua ib; thiab Herod, uas raug piv txwv los ntawm Ahab, yog lub taub hau ntawm kaum tus vajntxwv ntawm lub nceeg vaj qaum teb. Thaum txoj cai Hnub Caiv uas yuav los sai no los txog, lub nceeg vaj thib rau ntawm tus tsiaj qus hauv ntiajteb xaus thaum cov kub, uas tau los ua ib lub kub sawv cev rau kev sib koom ua ke ntawm cov kub ntawm Koom Txoos thiab Xeev (tus yam ntxwv ntawm tus tsiaj qus), raug Eliyas tua. Ces Salome ntxias Herod, los ua ib nrog nws, thiab yaum kom nws muab ib nrab ntawm nws lub nceeg vaj (lub Xeev thoob ntiajteb) rau nws niam (lub Koom Txoos thoob ntiajteb). Ces Salome twb tau txeeb kev tswj hwm Ahab thiab nws kaum xeem lawm, rau qhov kaum tus vajntxwv ntawd txhua tus puav leej pom zoo nrog ib leeg.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Revelation 17:12, 13.

Thiab kaum kub uas koj tau pom ntawd yog kaum tus vajntxwv, uas tseem tsis tau txais ib lub nceeg vaj li; tiamsis lawv yuav txais hwjchim ua vajntxwv ib ntus nrog tus tsiaj qus. Cov no muaj ib lub siab xwb, thiab lawv yuav muab lawv lub hwjchim thiab lawv lub zog pub rau tus tsiaj qus. Tshwmsim 17:12, 13.

The beast they give their power and strength unto is the beast that the whore rides upon. The beast represents the character of the image, which is the combination of Church and State, with the woman (Church) in control of the relationship, for it is a Latin marriage, where the surname is the name of the wife, and where the woman rules over the man, in rebellion against the true marriage relationship.

Tus tsiaj nyaum uas lawv muab lawv lub hwj chim thiab lawv lub zog rau ntawd yog tus tsiaj nyaum uas tus niam ntiav caij saum nws. Tus tsiaj nyaum ntawd sawv cev rau tus cwj pwm ntawm daim duab, uas yog kev sib koom ua ke ntawm Koom Txoos thiab Xeev, nrog tus poj niam (Koom Txoos) kav txoj kev sib raug zoo ntawd, rau qhov ntawd yog ib txoj kev sib yuav Latin, uas lub xeem yog tus poj niam lub npe, thiab uas tus poj niam kav tus txiv neej, hauv kev ntxeev siab tawm tsam txoj kev sib yuav tseeb.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Genesis 3:16.

Nws hais rau tus pojniam tias, Kuv yuav muab koj txoj kev tu siab thiab koj txoj kev xeeb tub kom huam coob kawg li; hauv kev mob nkeeg koj yuav yug tau me nyuam; thiab koj txoj kev ntshaw yuav mus rau koj tus txiv, thiab nws yuav kav koj. Chiv Keeb 3:16.

The ten kings are of one mind, and one heart.

Kaum kaum vaj ntxwv no muaj tib lub siab, thiab tib lub ntsws.

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

“Qhia Tshwm Sim 17:13–14 raug hais tseg. ‘Cov no muaj ib lub siab.’ Yuav muaj ib txoj kev sib koom ua ke thoob plaws ntiajteb, ib txoj kev sib haum xeeb loj kawg, ib lub koom haum ntawm Xatas cov tub rog. ‘Thiab yuav muab lawv lub hwjchim thiab lub daglub zog rau tus tsiaj nyaum.’ Yog li no thiaj qhia tawm tib lub hwjchim yuam raws li siab nyiam, tsim txom tawm tsam txojkev ywj pheej ntawm kev ntseeg, txojkev ywj pheej los pe hawm Vajtswv raws li tej lus txib ntawm lub siab dawb paug, ib yam li lub hwjchim ntawd tau raug qhia tawm los ntawm txojkev kav ntawm papacy, thaum yav tag los nws tsim txom cov neeg uas muaj siab tawv tsis kam yoog raws li cov kab ke thiab tej kab xwm txheej kev cai dab qhuas ntawm Romanism.

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

“Hauv qhov kev sib ntaus rog uas yuav raug ua nyob rau hauv hnub kawg yuav muaj txhua lub hwj chim phem uas tau thim kev ncaj ncees ntawm txoj kev mloog lus rau Yehauvas txoj kevcai los koom ua ke tawm tsam Vajtswv haiv neeg. Hauv qhov kev sib ntaus rog no Hnub Xanpataus ntawm lo lus txib plaub yuav yog lub ntsiab lus loj uas muaj kev tsis sib haum; rau qhov nyob hauv lo lus txib txog Hnub Xanpataus ntawd Tus Muab Kevcai Loj tshaj plaws qhia txog Nws tus kheej tias yog Tus Tsim lub ntuj thiab lub ntiajteb.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

The ten kings, whose leader is Ahab, or Herod, have been seduced by Salome, the daughter of Herodias. The United Nations, who at the Sunday law is seduced by Salome, the false religion of apostate Protestantism, and who was formerly the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, takes control of the kingdom of ten kings, who all agree to give half their kingdom unto the religion of Catholicism. They make this unanimous decision, for all the kings were seduced by Salome’s seductive dance. They agree to place their united strength into the work of killing those represented by John the Baptist.

Kaum vajntxwv, uas Ahaj, lossis Helauj, yog lawv tus thawj, tau raug Salome, tus ntxhais ntawm Herodias, ntxias lawm. Lub Koom Haum Tebchaws United Nations, uas thaum txog txoj cai Hnub Caiv raug Salome ntxias, uas yog txoj kev ntseeg cuav ntawm Protestantism uas tau thim kev ntseeg lawm, thiab uas yav tas los yog lub nceeg vaj thib rau hauv Vajlugkub tej lus faj lem, txeeb tau txoj cai kav lub nceeg vaj ntawm kaum vajntxwv, uas sawvdaws pom zoo muab ib nrab ntawm lawv lub nceeg vaj rau txoj kev ntseeg Catholicism. Lawv txiav txim siab no ua ib lub suab, rau qhov txhua tus vajntxwv twb raug Salome txoj kev seev cev ntxias lawm. Lawv pom zoo muab lawv lub zog sib koom ua ke rau hauv txoj hauj lwm tua cov uas Yauhas Tus Muab Neeg Ua Kev Cai Raus Dej sawv cev rau.

The beast (the United Nations) is governed by a premier king (the daughter of Jezebel). Jezebel had directed her daughter to initiate the adulterous and incestuous relationship with Herod and the other kings, for she is the mother of harlots. She is the pimp of her own daughter. Herod, Ahab and the United Nations were seduced by the false prophet, who is the United States. The United States, ceases to be the sixth kingdom when the prophets of Baal were slain, and the prophets of Ashtaroth (Salome) immediately become the governing power of the seventh kingdom, as it duplicates in the world, what it just accomplished in the United States.

Tus tsiaj nyaum (United Nations) raug kav los ntawm ib tug vajntxwv thawj (Jezebel tus ntxhais). Jezebel twb qhia nws tus ntxhais kom pib txoj kev sib deev ua plees ua yi thiab sib deev nrog neeg txheeb ze nrog Herod thiab lwm cov vajntxwv, rau qhov nws yog niam ntawm cov niam ntiav. Nws yog tus neeg muag cev ntawm nws tus kheej tus ntxhais. Herod, Ahab thiab United Nations raug tus yaj saub cuav ntxias, uas yog United States. United States tsis ua lub nceeg vaj thib rau lawm thaum cov yaj saub ntawm Baal raug tua pov tseg, thiab cov yaj saub ntawm Ashtaroth (Salome) tam sim ntawd los ua lub hwjchim kav ntawm lub nceeg vaj thib xya, raws li nws luam dua hauv lub ntiajteb no yam uas nws nyuam qhuav ua tiav hauv United States.

The beast is the kings who are in a relationship with the whore’s daughter, and the whore is the woman that rules over the beast. Jesus illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing. Just as Revelation chapter seventeen’s illustration of eight kingdoms unsealed the eight kingdoms of Daniel chapter two, the beast and the woman that rides upon the beast unseals another prophetic truth, that is based upon the first representing the last.

Tsiaj nyaum yog cov vajntxwv uas nyob hauv ib txoj kev sib raug zoo nrog tus niam ntiav tus ntxhais, thiab tus niam ntiav yog tus pojniam uas kav tsiaj nyaum ntawd. Yexus piav qhia qhov kawg ntawm ib yam, los ntawm qhov pib ntawm ib yam. Ib yam li qhov piv txwv hauv Tshwmsim tshooj kaum xya hais txog yim lub tebchaws tau qhib tej uas raug kaw ntawm yim lub tebchaws hauv Daniyee tshooj ob, tsiaj nyaum thiab tus pojniam uas caij saum tsiaj nyaum ntawd kuj qhib tawm lwm qhov tseeb yaj saub, uas yog raws li thawj qhov sawv cev rau qhov kawg.

Revelation chapter seventeen is the last reference to the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, and therefore demands that Daniel chapter two, which is the first reference to the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, of prophetic necessity must also represent eight kingdoms, of which the eighth kingdom was of the seven. So too, the judgment of the woman and the beast she rides upon in chapter seventeen, must be represented in the first judgment of the whore in 1798.

Tshwmsim tshooj kaum xya yog qhov kev hais kawg txog cov tebchaws ntawm tej lus faj lem hauv Phau Vajlugkub, thiab yog li ntawd thiaj yuam kom Daniyees tshooj ob, uas yog thawj qhov kev hais txog cov tebchaws ntawm tej lus faj lem hauv Phau Vajlugkub, raws li qhov yuav tsum muaj ntawm lus faj lem yuav tsum sawv cev ib yam nkaus rau yim lub nceeg vaj, uas lub nceeg vaj thib yim yog los ntawm xya lub ntawd. Ib yam li ntawd thiab, txoj kev txiav txim rau tus pojniam thiab tus tsiaj qus uas nws caij nyob hauv tshooj kaum xya, yuav tsum raug sawv cev nyob hauv thawj qhov kev txiav txim rau tus niam ntiav hauv xyoo 1798.

The angel informed John at the opening of chapter seventeen, that he was going to show the judgment of the great whore and of the beast she rides upon. The first time the whore was judged has been correctly understood as 1798 when the papacy received its deadly wound, and the time of the end arrived. Yet when a “time of the end” is represented in prophetic history there are always two waymarks symbolized by people. The birth of Aaron and his brother Moses was the time of the end in that history. Those two waymarks typified the birth of John the Baptist, and sixth months later his cousin Jesus, thus marking the time of the end for that history. At the end of the seventy-year captivity, which typifies the time of the end in 1798, Darius and his nephew Cyrus are the two waymarks of the time of the end. Together, they typify Reagan and Bush the first, in the time of the end of 1989.

Tus tim tswv tau qhia rau Yauhas thaum pib ntawm tshooj kaum xya tias nws yuav qhia rau nws pom txoj kev txiav txim ntawm tus niam ntiav loj thiab ntawm tus tsiaj qus uas nws caij saum nws. Thawj zaug uas tus niam ntiav raug txiav txim ntawd twb tau raug to taub kom raug lawm tias yog xyoo 1798 thaum lub hwj chim papacy tau txais nws txoj kev raug mob tuag taus, thiab lub sij hawm kawg tau los txog. Tiamsis thaum ib “lub sij hawm kawg” raug sawv cev nyob hauv keeb kwm lus faj lem, ib txwm muaj ob lub cim ciam chaw uas raug piv txwv los ntawm tibneeg. Kev yug ntawm Aloos thiab nws tus kwv Mauxes yog lub sij hawm kawg hauv zaj keeb kwm ntawd. Ob lub cim ciam chaw ntawd tau ua qauv piv txwv txog kev yug ntawm Yauhas tus Ua Neeg Ua Kevcai Raus Dej, thiab rau lub hli tom qab ntawd nws tus kwvtij Yexus, yog li ntawd thiaj cim tseg lub sij hawm kawg rau zaj keeb kwm ntawd. Thaum kawg ntawm xya caum xyoo ntawm txoj kev poob cev qhev, uas ua qauv piv txwv txog lub sij hawm kawg hauv xyoo 1798, Dali-us thiab nws tus xeeb ntxwv Kwxalus yog ob lub cim ciam chaw ntawm lub sij hawm kawg. Nkawd ua ke ua qauv piv txwv txog Reebgans thiab Bush tus thawj, hauv lub sij hawm kawg ntawm xyoo 1989.

1798, which was the time of the end when the book of Daniel was unsealed in Millerite history, identified the prophetic death of the political element of the beast of Catholicism. Napoleon’s general Berthier walked right into the Vatican, arrested the pope and ended the political authority of the beast of Catholicism. A year later, in 1799, the woman who had ridden that beast through the centuries, represented by the pope, died in captivity. The judgment of the whore, includes the judgment upon the beast she employed to govern the nations. Revelation chapter seventeen identifies both the judgment of the beast, and also the whore who rules over and rides upon the beast.

Xyoo 1798, uas yog lub sij hawm kawg thaum phau ntawv Daniyees raug qhib hauv keeb kwm Millerite, tau qhia txog txoj kev tuag raws li lus faj lem ntawm qhov tseem hwv-kev tswj hwm ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum ntawm Catholicism. Napoleon tus thawj tub rog Berthier tau taug kev ncaj qha mus rau hauv Vatican, ntes tus pope thiab xaus rau txoj cai kav teb chaws ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum ntawm Catholicism. Ib xyoos tom qab, hauv 1799, tus poj niam uas tau caij saum tus tsiaj nyaum ntawd thoob plaws ntau pua xyoo, uas tus pope sawv cev rau, tau tuag hauv kev raug kaw. Kev txiav txim rau tus niam ntiav ntawd, suav nrog kev txiav txim rau tus tsiaj nyaum uas nws tau siv los kav tej teb chaws. Tshwm Sim tshooj kaum xya qhia meej ob qho tib si txog kev txiav txim rau tus tsiaj nyaum, thiab kuj rau tus niam ntiav uas kav thiab caij saum tus tsiaj nyaum ntawd.

“The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.

“Lub ntiaj teb puv npo rau cua daj cua dub thiab kev ua tsov ua rog thiab kev tsis sib haum xeeb. Los tseem nyob hauv ib lub taub hau—lub hwj chim papal—cov tibneeg yuav koom siab los tawm tsam Vajtswv hauv tus kheej ntawm Nws cov tim khawv.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.

The eighth head, that is of the seven, is the papal power that reigns over the beast that is made up of ten kings who are governed by the daughter of the whore who rides upon the beast. The elements of the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven must be seen in the eighth and last president, who is of the seven presidents, when the image of the beast is formed within the United States. The combination of the apostate horns of Republicanism and Protestantism must have a “head” that rules over the image of the beast, and that ruler will be a dictator extraordinaire.

Lub taub hau yim, uas yog ntawm xya lub, yog lub hwjchim papacy uas kav saum tus tsiaj qus uas muaj kaum tus vajntxwv sib sau ua ke, cov uas raug tswj hwm los ntawm tus ntxhais ntawm tus pojniam deev luag pojniam uas caij saum tus tsiaj qus. Cov ntsiab ntawm lub nceeg vaj yim, uas yog ntawm xya lub, yuav tsum raug pom nyob hauv tus thawj tswj hwm yim thiab tus kawg, uas yog ntawm xya tus thawj tswj hwm, thaum tus duab ntawm tus tsiaj qus raug tsim tsa nyob hauv Tebchaws Meskas. Kev sib txuas ua ke ntawm cov kub qaug ntawm Republicanism thiab Protestantism yuav tsum muaj ib “lub taub hau” uas kav saum tus duab ntawm tus tsiaj qus, thiab tus kav ntawd yuav yog ib tug thawjcoj siab phem txawv tshaj plaw.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Peb yuav txuas ntxiv txoj kev kawm no hauv tsab xov xwm tom ntej.

A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. Psalms 83:1–8.

Ib Zaj Nkauj, lossis ib Zaj Nkauj Qhuas Vajtswv ntawm Asaph. Au Vajtswv, thov tsis txhob nyob twjywm; thov tsis txhob ntsiag to, thiab tsis txhob nyob tus yees, Au Vajtswv. Vim saib seb, koj cov yeeb ncuab tabtom ua suab nrov kub ntxhov; thiab cov uas ntxub koj tau tsa taub hau siab. Lawv tau sib tuav tswv yim dag ntxias tawm tsam koj haiv neeg, thiab sib tham tawm tsam koj cov uas koj khaws cia zais. Lawv tau hais tias, Cia li los, peb yuav muab lawv txiav kom ploj ntawm kev ua ib haiv neeg; xwv kom lub npe Ixayees tsis muaj leejtwg nco txog ntxiv lawm. Vim lawv tau sib tham ua ke nrog ib lub siab pom zoo; lawv tau koom ua ib pab tawm tsam koj: cov tsev ntaub ntawm Edaws, thiab cov Ishama-ees; ntawm Mau-a, thiab cov Haka-ees; Gebal, thiab Amoos, thiab Amalek; cov Filixatee nrog cov neeg nyob hauv Thee; Assur kuj tau los koom nrog lawv thiab: lawv tau pab cov tub ntawm Lauj. Selah. Ntawv Nkauj 83:1–8.
