The book The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, was written by Malachi Martin, and it was first published in 1990. Martin examines the role of Pope John Paul II as a transformative figure in global politics and diplomacy during the latter half of the 20th century. He discusses the Pope’s role in the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. The book presents a Catholic perspective of the dynamics that brought about the fulfillment of verse forty of Daniel eleven, at the time of the end in 1989.

Phau ntawv The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, raug sau los ntawm Malachi Martin, thiab nws tau luam tawm thawj zaug xyoo 1990. Martin tshuaj xyuas lub luag hauj lwm ntawm Pope John Paul II ua ib tug cwj pwm hloov pauv loj hauv kev nom kev tswv thiab kev sib raug zoo ntawm cov teb chaws thoob ntiaj teb nyob rau ib nrab tom qab ntawm xyoo pua nees nkaum. Nws tham txog lub luag hauj lwm ntawm tus Pope hauv kev vau tshem ntawm Kev Koom Tsham nyob sab hnub tuaj Europe. Phau ntawv no nthuav tawm ib lub zeem muag Kas Tos Liv txog cov kev txav mus los uas coj los txog rau kev ua tiav ntawm nqe plaub caug ntawm Daniyee kaum ib, thaum lub sij hawm kawg hauv xyoo 1989.

Martin analyzes the internal dynamics of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, particularly focusing on Gorbachev’s policies of “glasnost” (openness) and “perestroika” (restructuring). He discusses the challenges facing the Soviet Union and Gorbachev’s attempts to reform the Communist system. He explores the geopolitical tensions and power struggles between the Soviet Union (the king of the south—the dragon), the Catholic Church (the king of the north—the beast), and what he calls the capitalist West (the king of the north’s proxy army—the false prophet). He discusses the ideological conflicts, espionage, and covert operations that characterized the Cold War era and examines the efforts of various actors to shape the future of the world.

Martin txheeb xyuas txog cov txheej txheem txav sab hauv ntawm lub Soviet Union nyob rau hauv kev coj ntawm Mikhail Gorbachev, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog tsom rau Gorbachev cov cai “glasnost” (kev qhib siab) thiab “perestroika” (kev rov txhim kho qauv). Nws tham txog cov kev nyuaj uas lub Soviet Union tab tom ntsib thiab Gorbachev cov kev sim kho dua tshiab rau lub cev txheej txheem Communist. Nws tshawb nrhiav txog cov kev nruj nreem hauv thaj tsam nom tswv ntiaj teb thiab cov kev tawm tsam los sib tw rau hwj chim ntawm lub Soviet Union (vajntxwv sab qab teb—tus zaj), lub Koom Txoos Kav Tos Liv (vajntxwv sab qaum teb—tus tsiaj qus), thiab yam uas nws hu ua lub teb chaws sab hnub poob uas raws li kev peev nyiaj txiag (pab tub rog sawv cev ntawm vajntxwv sab qaum teb—tus yaj saub cuav). Nws tham txog cov kev tsis sib haum xeeb ntawm kev xav txheej txheem, kev soj ntsuam zais, thiab cov haujlwm zais cia uas yog yam cim tshwj xeeb rau lub caij nyoog Tsov Rog Txias, thiab nws tshuaj xyuas txog tej kev siv zog ntawm ntau tus neeg ua haujlwm sib txawv los tsim kho yav tom ntej ntawm lub ntiaj teb.

Martin emphasizes the significance of Catholicism as a force in global politics and diplomacy. He argues that the Catholic Church, under the leadership of Pope John Paul II, played a pivotal role in shaping the course of history during this period and influencing the outcome of the Cold War. He places John Pauls’ influence in the context of the Marian apparitions at Fatima, Portugal, and identifies the influence of Fatima upon global events and the Catholic Church’s role in shaping the course of history. Martin suggests that the events at Fatima hold significant prophetic and geopolitical implications, particularly in the context of the Cold War era.

Martin hais kom pom meej txog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm txoj Kev Ntseeg Kas Tos Liv ua ib lub zog hauv kev nom kev tswv thiab kev sib raug zoo ntawm haiv neeg thoob ntiaj teb. Nws sib cav hais tias lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv, nyob hauv txoj kev coj noj coj ua ntawm Pope John Paul II, tau ua ib tes dej num tseem ceeb heev hauv kev teeb tsa txoj kev khiav ntawm keeb kwm nyob rau lub caij nyoog ntawd thiab hauv kev cuam tshuam rau qhov txiaj ntsig kawg ntawm Tsov Rog Txias. Nws muab John Paul txoj kev cuam tshuam tso rau hauv lub ntsiab lus ntawm cov kev tshwm sim ntawm Niam Mab Liab ntawm Fatima, Portugal, thiab nws taw qhia txog qhov kev cuam tshuam ntawm Fatima rau tej xwm txheej thoob ntiaj teb thiab lub luag hauj lwm ntawm lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv hauv kev teeb tsa txoj kev khiav ntawm keeb kwm. Martin pom zoo hais tias tej xwm txheej ntawm Fatima muaj tej yam cuam tshuam tseem ceeb txog yav tom ntej raws li lus faj lem thiab hais txog kev nom kev tswv ntawm haiv neeg, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau hauv lub ntsiab lus ntawm tiam Tsov Rog Txias.

Martin explores the three secrets of Fatima, which were allegedly revealed by the Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in Fatima in 1917. He suggests that the third secret, which was initially kept secret by the Vatican and only revealed in 2000, contained apocalyptic warnings about the future of the Catholic Church and the world. Martin argues that the events at Fatima, including the apparitions and the messages conveyed by the Virgin Mary, had significant implications for global politics and the struggle between communism and capitalism during the Cold War era.

Martin tshuaj xyuas peb lo lus zais ntawm Fatima, uas tau hais tias Nkauj Xwb Mab Liab tau qhia rau peb tug menyuam yug yaj hluas nyob Fatima xyoo 1917. Nws qhia tias lo lus zais thib peb, uas thaum chiv thawj Vatican tau ceev cia ua qhov zais thiab tsuas yog muab nthuav tawm xyoo 2000 xwb, muaj tej lus ceeb toom txog hnub kawg hais txog yav tom ntej ntawm lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv thiab lub ntiajteb. Martin sib cav tias tej xwm txheej ntawm Fatima, nrog rau tej kev tshwm sim thiab cov lus uas Nkauj Xwb Mab Liab tau xa los, muaj qhov tseem ceeb loj rau kev nom kev tswv thoob ntiajteb thiab rau kev tawm tsam ntawm kev ntseeg liab thiab kev peev nyiaj txiag nyob rau tiam Tsov Rog Txias.

Martin highlights the role of Pope John Paul II as a key figure in the fulfillment of the prophecies of Fatima. He suggests that John Paul II saw himself as the “bishop in white” mentioned in the third secret of Fatima and that he viewed his papacy as a mission to confront the forces of evil and promote spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church and society at large.

Martin hais txog lub luag hauj lwm ntawm Pope John Paul II ua ib tug neeg tseem ceeb hauv kev ua kom tiav cov lus faj lem ntawm Fatima. Nws qhia tias John Paul II tau pom nws tus kheej ua tus “npis sov hnav dawb” uas tau hais txog hauv daim zais thib peb ntawm Fatima, thiab tias nws tau saib nws txoj hauj lwm ua pope raws li ib txoj haujlwm tshaj xo los tawm tsam cov hwj chim ntawm kev phem thiab txhawb kev rov tsim kho sab ntsuj plig nyob hauv lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv thiab hauv zej zog dav dav.

Martin suggests that the messages of Fatima emphasized the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for the Catholic Church to confront the forces of evil, both within and outside the Church. He argues that the events at Fatima provided a spiritual and moral framework for understanding and addressing the challenges facing humanity in the modern world. The Fatima messages represent the satanic message which conditions Catholicism to accept Satan as Christ, when he “personates” Christ at the soon coming Sunday law.

Martin hais tias cov lus ntawm Fatima tau hais qhia tshwj xeeb txog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev ua rog sab ntsuj plig thiab txog qhov uas lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv yuav tsum tawm tsam cov hwj chim ntawm kev phem, ob sab hauv thiab sab nraum lub Koom Txoos. Nws sib cav tias tej xwm txheej ntawm Fatima tau muab ib lub hauv paus ntsuj plig thiab kev coj ncaj ncees los pab nkag siab thiab teb rau cov kev nyuaj uas tib neeg tab tom ntsib hauv lub ntiaj teb niaj hnub no. Cov lus ntawm Fatima sawv cev rau Xatas txoj lus uas cob qhia Kas Tos Liv kom lees txais Xatas ua Khetos, thaum nws “ua txuj sawv cev” ua Khetos nyob rau hauv txoj cai Hnub Caiv uas yuav los sai sai no.

“Satan will work miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.

“Xatas yuav ua txuj ci tseem ceeb kom dag ntxias cov uas nyob saum lub ntiajteb no. Kev ntseeg dab yuav ua nws tes haujlwm los ntawm kev ua kom cov neeg tuag raug sawv cev ua neeg ciaj sia. Cov koomhaum kev ntseeg uas tsis kam mloog Vajtswv tej lus ceeb toom yuav poob rau hauv kev dag ntxias loj heev, thiab yuav koom tes nrog lub hwjchim pej xeem kom tsim txom cov neeg dawb huv. Cov pawg ntseeg Protestant yuav koom nrog lub hwjchim papal hauv kev tsim txom Vajtswv haiv neeg uas ceev rawv cov lus txib. Qhov no yog lub hwjchim uas tsim los ua lub txheej txheem loj ntawm kev tsim txom, uas yuav siv kev tswj hwm sab ntsuj plig ua kev quab yuam rau neeg tej siab ntsws.”

“‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.

“‘Nws muaj ob tug kub zoo li ib tug yaj, thiab nws hais lus zoo li ib tug zaj.’ Txawm yog lawv tshaj tawm tias lawv yog cov raws tus Menyuam Yaj ntawm Vajtswv qab, los tibneeg kuj raug tsau puv npo los ntawm tus zaj tus ntsuj plig. Lawv tshaj tawm tias lawv yog cov siab mos siab muag thiab txo hwjchim, tiam sis lawv hais lus thiab tsim kev cai raws li Xatas tus ntsuj plig, qhia tawm los ntawm lawv tej haujlwm tias lawv yog qhov txawv kiag ntawm yam uas lawv tshaj tawm tias lawv yog. Lub hwjchim zoo li menyuam yaj no koom nrog tus zaj los ua rog tawm tsam cov uas ceev Vajtswv tej lus txib thiab muaj Yexus Khetos zaj lus timkhawv. Thiab Xatas kuj koom nrog cov Protestants thiab cov papists, ua haujlwm sib haum nrog lawv ib yam li nws yog tus vajtswv ntawm lub ntiajteb no, txib kom tibneeg raws li yog lawv yog cov pejxeem hauv nws lub tebchaws, kom raug nws tuav, kav, thiab tswj raws nraim li nws xav.”

“If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘He causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘He had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

“Yog tibneeg tsis kam pom zoo los tsuj rawv Vajtswv tej lus txib rau hauv qab taw, ces tus ntsuj plig ntawm tus zaj tau raug qhia tawm. Lawv raug kaw, raug coj mus sawv ntawm tej rooj sablaj, thiab raug nplua nyiaj. ‘Nws ua kom sawvdaws, tsis hais cov me thiab cov loj, cov nplua nuj thiab cov pluag, cov ywj siab thiab cov qhev, txais ib lub cim rau ntawm lawv sab tes xis, lossis rau ntawm lawv hauv pliaj’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘Nws muaj hwjchim pub sia rau tus tsiaj qus tus mlom, xwv kom tus tsiaj qus tus mlom hais tau lus, thiab ua kom txhua tus uas tsis pe tus tsiaj qus tus mlom raug tua’ [nqe 15]. Yog li no Xatas txeeb Yehauvas tej cai tshwjxeeb rau nws tus kheej. Tus neeg ntawm txoj kev txhaum zaum hauv Vajtswv lub chaw, tshaj tawm nws tus kheej tias yog Vajtswv, thiab ua haujlwm nyob siab dua Vajtswv.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

Antichrist is a symbol of both the pope of Rome, and Satan, for the pope of Rome is Satan’s earthly representative. “Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Satan intends to so control the world when he takes control that he will dictate “to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.” In order to have a religious throne to rule from He created the Catholic Church, and in order to have a political throne to rule from he created the United Nations.

Tus Antichrist yog ib lub cim sawv cev rau ob leeg—tus pope ntawm Rome, thiab Xatas—vim tus pope ntawm Rome yog Xatas tus sawv cev hauv ntiajteb. “Yog li no Xatas txeeb Yehauvas tej cai tshwjxeeb los ua nws tug. Tus neeg ntawm txojkev txhaum zaum rau hauv Vajtswv lub chaw zaum, tshaj tawm nws tus kheej tias yog Vajtswv, thiab ua yam siab dua Vajtswv.” Xatas muaj lub hom phiaj tias thaum nws txeeb tau txojkev tswj kav lawm nws yuav tswj lub ntiajteb kom kawg nkaus, xwv kom nws yuav txib “rau tibneeg ib yam li lawv yog cov pejxeem hauv nws lub nceeg vaj, kom raug tuav, kav, thiab tswj raws li nws siab nyiam.” Txhawm rau kom muaj ib lub zwm txwv kev ntseeg uas nws yuav kav tawm ntawm ntawd los, nws thiaj tsim lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv, thiab txhawm rau kom muaj ib lub zwm txwv kev nom kev tswv uas nws yuav kav tawm ntawm ntawd los, nws thiaj tsim lub United Nations.

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

“Qhov kev sib haum xeeb no nruab nrab ntawm kev teev dab mlom thiab kev ntseeg Khetos tau ua rau muaj kev loj hlob ntawm ‘tus neeg ntawm kev txhaum’ uas tau raug hais tseg ua ntej hauv lus faj lem tias yuav tawm tsam thiab tsa nws tus kheej siab tshaj Vajtswv. Txoj kev cai dab qhuas cuav loj kawg ntawd yog ib qho hauj lwm zoo tshaj plaws ntawm Xatas lub hwj chim—ib lub cim nco txog nws txoj kev siv zog los tsa nws tus kheej zaum saum lub zwm txwv kom kav lub ntiaj teb raws li nws lub siab nyiam.” The Great Controversy, 50.

The miracle of Fatima, and its satanic prophecy is what Satan has employed to prepare a prophetic setting that allows Catholicism to quickly surrender their church into His control, when he appears, and personates Christ. His personation of Christ begins at the soon coming Sunday law, represented in verse sixteen, verse twenty-two, verse thirty-one and verse forty-one of Daniel chapter eleven.

Qhov txuj ci tseem ceeb ntawm Fatima, thiab nws txoj lus faj lem uas yog los ntawm Xatas, yog yam Xatas tau siv los npaj ib qho chaw txheej xwm faj lem uas tso cai rau Kev Ntseeg Kas Tos Liv kom ceev nrooj muab lawv pawg ntseeg zwm rau hauv nws txoj kev tswj hwm, thaum nws tshwm los thiab coj yam ntxwv ua Khetos. Nws txoj kev coj yam ntxwv ua Khetos pib thaum txoj cai hnub Sunday uas yuav los sai sai no, uas raug sawv cev hauv nqe kaum rau, nqe nees nkaum ob, nqe peb caug ib, thiab nqe plaub caug ib ntawm Daniyee tshooj kaum ib.

“By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

“Los ntawm tsab cai uas yuam kom tsa lub hwj chim Papacy, uas yog kev ua txhaum rau Vajtswv txoj kevcai, peb haiv neeg yuav txiav nws tus kheej tawm mus kom puv npo ntawm txoj kev ncaj ncees. Thaum Protestantism yuav ncab nws txhais tes hla lub kwj deg tob mus tuav tes nrog lub hwj chim Roman, thaum nws yuav ncav hla lub hav tob tsis muaj chaw kawg mus koom tes nrog Kev Ntseeg Dab, thaum, nyob rau hauv lub hwj chim ntawm qhov kev sib koom ua peb npaug no, peb lub tebchaws yuav tsis lees txais txhua lub hauv paus ntsiab lus ntawm nws Txoj Cai Lij Choj raws li ib tsoomfwv Protestant thiab republican, thiab yuav npaj txoj kev rau kev nthuav tawm tej lus dag thiab tej kev dag ntxias ntawm papacy, ces peb thiaj paub tau tias lub sijhawm twb los txog rau Xatas txoj haujlwm loj kawg uas ua yam txaus ntshai kawg, thiab tias hnub kawg twb nyob ze lawm.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

At the Sunday law in the United States, the “time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” In Revelation chapter thirteen, verse eleven, the United States “speaks” as a dragon, and then in verse thirteen, which is simply identifying what happens when the United States “speaks,” by passing the Sunday law, Satan appears to call fire down out of heaven.

Thaum txog txoj cai Hnub Caiv hauv Tebchaws Meskas, “lub sij hawm twb los txog rau txoj hauj lwm uas Xatas ua yam txaus xav tsis thoob.” Hauv Tshwmsim tshooj kaum peb, nqe kaum ib, Tebchaws Meskas “hais lus” zoo li ib tug zaj, thiab tom qab ntawd hauv nqe kaum peb, uas tsuas yog qhia kom paub tias muaj dab tsi tshwm sim thaum Tebchaws Meskas “hais lus,” los ntawm kev tshaj tawm txoj cai Hnub Caiv, Xatas tshwm los hu kom hluav taws nqes saum ntuj los.

“Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

“Vajtswv ntawm Vajtswv, nrog lawv tej ntsej muag ci ntsa iab thiab kaj lug vim kev fij dawb huv, yuav maj nroos ntawm ib qhov chaw mus rau lwm qhov chaw kom tshaj tawm txoj xov ntawm saum ntuj ceeb tsheej. Los ntawm ntau txhiab lub suab, thoob plaws lub ntiaj teb, lo lus ceeb toom yuav raug muab tshaj tawm. Tej txuj ci tseem ceeb yuav raug ua, cov neeg mob yuav raug kho kom zoo, thiab tej cim thiab tej yam txaus ntshai yuav raws cov ntseeg qab. Xatas los kuj ua haujlwm, nrog tej txuj ci dag ntxias, txawm coj hluav taws nqes saum ntuj los rau ntawm tib neeg lub xub ntiag. Tshwm Sim 13:13. Yog li no cov neeg nyob hauv lub ntiaj teb yuav raug coj los xaiv lawv txoj hauj lwm.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

The messages of Fatima were confirmed by a miracle that was testified to by the atheistic government newspapers that attended the event in order to refute the claims that had been made about the so-called Virgin Mary visiting the three children on the thirteenth day of the month from May until the miracle on October 13, 1917. Every atheistic news organization that was at Fatima at the time of the miracle confirmed the event. It was a genuine miracle (of Satan).

Cov lus ceeb toom ntawm Fatima tau raug lees paub los ntawm ib qho txuj ci tseem ceeb uas cov ntawv xov xwm ntawm tsoom fwv tsis ntseeg Vajtswv—uas tau tuaj koom qhov xwm txheej ntawd kom tsis lees cov lus thov uas tau raug hais tawm txog tus uas hu ua Nkauj Ntxawm Mab Liab tuaj xyuas peb tug me nyuam rau hnub kaum peb ntawm txhua hli txij lub Tsib Hlis mus txog rau txuj ci tseem ceeb hnub Kaum Hli 13, 1917—tau ua tim khawv txog. Txhua lub koom haum xov xwm tsis ntseeg Vajtswv uas nyob hauv Fatima thaum lub sijhawm ntawm txuj ci tseem ceeb ntawd tau lees paub qhov xwm txheej ntawd. Nws yog ib qho txuj ci tseem ceeb tiag tiag (ntawm Xatas).

As Malachi Martin identified in his book, Pope John Paul was guided by his devotion to Mary of Fatima. The secret prophecy of Fatima, that was not revealed until the year 2000, was of course a satanic prophecy, but in the last days Jesus repeats the first days. The oldest book in the Bible, the first book that Moses wrote is the book of Job, and it identifies that Job, who represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for all the prophecies are fulfilled most perfectly in the last days. Satan, in the story of Job, is allowed to bring death and destruction upon Job, for the purpose of testing Job. The miracles that Satan is allowed to accomplish in the last days, are genuine miracles. They are satanic miracles, but God has allowed Satan to accomplish his crowning act, for the same purpose that he allowed Satan to test Job.

Raws li Malachi Martin tau qhia tseg hauv nws phau ntawv, Pope John Paul raug coj los ntawm nws txoj kev mob siab rau Mary ntawm Fatima. Cov lus faj lem zais cia ntawm Fatima, uas tsis tau muab qhia tawm mus txog xyoo 2000, yeej yog ib lo lus faj lem los ntawm Xatas; tiam sis nyob rau hnub kawg Yexus rov ua dua tej xwm txheej ntawm thawj hnub. Phau ntawv qub tshaj plaws hauv Phau Vajlugkub, yog thawj phau ntawv uas Mauxes tau sau, yog phau ntawv Yauj; thiab phau ntawv ntawd qhia tias Yauj, uas sawv cev rau ib puas plaub caug plaub txhiab leej, vim txhua lo lus faj lem tau ua tiav kom zoo tshaj plaws hauv hnub kawg. Xatas, hauv zaj keeb kwm ntawm Yauj, raug tso cai kom coj kev tuag thiab kev puas tsuaj los rau saum Yauj, rau lub hom phiaj los sim Yauj. Cov txuj ci tseem ceeb uas Xatas raug tso cai ua kom tiav hauv hnub kawg, yog txuj ci tseem ceeb tiag tiag. Lawv yog txuj ci tseem ceeb ntawm Xatas, tiam sis Vajtswv tau tso cai rau Xatas kom ua tiav nws txoj haujlwm kawg uas yog lub kaus mom, rau tib lub hom phiaj uas Nws tau tso cai rau Xatas sim Yauj.

“Many endeavor to account for spiritual manifestations by attributing them wholly to fraud and sleight of hand on the part of the medium. But while it is true that the results of trickery have often been palmed off as genuine manifestations, there have been, also, marked exhibitions of supernatural power. The mysterious rapping with which modern spiritualism began was not the result of human trickery or cunning, but was the direct work of evil angels, who thus introduced one of the most successful of soul-destroying delusions. Many will be ensnared through the belief that spiritualism is a merely human imposture; when brought face to face with manifestations which they cannot but regard as supernatural, they will be deceived, and will be led to accept them as the great power of God.

“Coob tus siv zog piav txog tej kev tshwm sim ntawm sab ntsuj plig los ntawm kev muab tag nrho rau kev dag ntxias thiab kev ua khawv khuav ntawm tus medium. Tiamsis txawm yog qhov tseeb tias tej txiaj ntsig ntawm kev ua dag ntxias yeej feem ntau raug muab nthuav tawm ua tej kev tshwm sim tiag, los kuj yeej muaj thiab tej kev nthuav qhia pom tseeb txog hwj chim tshaj ntuj tsim. Lub suab nrov npuaj nrov nroo uas muaj qhov zais ntshis, uas yog yam uas kev ntseeg spiritualism niaj hnub no pib los ntawm, tsis yog qhov tshwm sim ntawm tibneeg kev dag lossis kev txawj ntxias, tiam sis yog hauj lwm ncaj qha ntawm cov tim tswv phem, uas los ntawm qhov no tau coj los qhia ib qho ntawm tej kev ntxias ua kom plig puam tsuaj uas tau ua tiav tshaj plaws. Coob leej yuav raug ntxias nkag rau hauv lub cuab vim txoj kev ntseeg tias spiritualism tsuas yog ib hom kev dag ntxias ntawm tibneeg xwb; thaum lawv raug coj los ntsib tim ntsej tim muag nrog tej kev tshwm sim uas lawv tsis muaj peev xwm tsis lees tias yog yam tshaj ntuj tsim, lawv yuav raug dag ntxias, thiab yuav raug coj kom lees txais tej ntawd tias yog lub hwj chim loj ntawm Vajtswv.

“These persons overlook the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the wonders wrought by Satan and his agents. It was by satanic aid that Pharaoh’s magicians were enabled to counterfeit the work of God. Paul testifies that before the second advent of Christ there will be similar manifestations of satanic power. The coming of the Lord is to be preceded by ‘the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10. And the apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days, declares: ‘He doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do.’ Revelation 13:13, 14. No mere impostures are here foretold. Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do.” The Great Controversy, 553.

“Cov neeg no tsis quav ntsej txog Vajlugkub tej lus tim khawv hais txog tej yam txuj ci tseem ceeb uas Xatas thiab nws cov neeg sawv cev tau ua. Yog los ntawm kev pab ntawm Xatas uas Falau cov kws ua khawv koob thiaj li muaj peev xwm ua cuav raws li Vajtswv tes hauj lwm. Povlauj ua tim khawv tias ua ntej Khetos txoj kev los zaum ob yuav muaj tej kev tshwm sim zoo ib yam ntawm Xatas lub hwj chim. Tus Tswv txoj kev los yuav raug ua ntej los ntawm ‘Xatas txoj kev ua hauj lwm nrog txhua yam hwj chim thiab tej cim thiab tej txuj ci dag, thiab nrog txhua yam kev ntxias ntawm kev tsis ncaj ncees.’ 2 Thexalaunikes 2:9,10. Thiab tus timthawj Yauhas, thaum piav txog lub hwj chim ua txuj ci tseem ceeb uas yuav raug tshwm sim rau hnub kawg, tshaj tawm tias: ‘Nws ua tej yam txuj ci tseem ceeb loj, txawm ua rau hluav taws nqis saum ntuj los rau hauv ntiajteb no rau ntawm neeg pom, thiab dag ntxias cov uas nyob saum npoo av los ntawm tej txuj ci tseem ceeb ntawd uas nws muaj hwj chim ua.’ Tshwmsim 13:13, 14. Tsis yog tsuas yog tej kev dag ntxias xwb uas raug qhia tseg nyob ntawm no. Tibneeg raug dag los ntawm tej txuj ci tseem ceeb uas Xatas cov neeg sawv cev muaj hwj chim ua, tsis yog tej uas lawv tsuas ua txuj hais tias ua tau.” The Great Controversy, 553.

The messages of Fatima in Malachi Martin’s book are represented as the prophetic structure of Catholicism in the last days, in relation to an internal struggle within the church, that can be represented as either the good pope versus the bad pope, or the conservative pope versus the liberal pope. The conservative, and according to Martin’s reading of the miracle, the good pope, bases his understanding upon the First Vatican Council, also known as Vatican I, which took place from December 8, 1869 to July 20, 1870, convened by Pope Pius IX and primarily focused on defining the dogma of papal infallibility and addressing various theological and doctrinal issues facing the Catholic Church at the time. The Second Vatican Council, commonly known as Vatican II, was held much later, from October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965. It was convened by Pope John XXIII and continued by Pope Paul VI after John XXIII’s death.

Cov lus ntawm Fatima hauv phau ntawv ntawm Malachi Martin raug nthuav tawm ua lub qauv yaj saub ntawm Kev Ntseeg Kas Tos Liv nyob rau hnub kawg, nyob rau hauv kev txuas nrog ib qho kev tawm tsam sab hauv lub Koom Txoos, uas yuav raug sawv cev tau tias yog tus pope zoo tawm tsam tus pope phem, los sis tus pope khaws cia kev qhuab qhia qub tawm tsam tus pope ywj pheej. Tus pope khaws cia kev qhuab qhia qub, thiab raws li Martin txoj kev nyeem txog txuj ci tseem ceeb ntawd, tus pope zoo, tsa nws txoj kev to taub rau saum Pawg Sab Laj Vatican Thawj, uas kuj hu ua Vatican I, uas tau muaj txij hnub tim 8 lub Kaum Ob Hlis, 1869 mus txog hnub tim 20 lub Xya Hli, 1870, raug hu los ntawm Pope Pius IX thiab feem ntau tsom rau kev txhais kom meej txog txoj lus qhuab qhia tsis yuam kev ntawm tus pope thiab los daws ntau yam teeb meem kev teev ntuj thiab kev qhuab qhia uas lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv tab tom ntsib rau lub sijhawm ntawd. Pawg Sab Laj Vatican Ob, uas feem ntau hu ua Vatican II, tau muaj ntau xyoo tom qab, txij hnub tim 11 lub Kaum Hli, 1962 mus txog hnub tim 8 lub Kaum Ob Hlis, 1965. Nws raug hu los ntawm Pope John XXIII thiab raug txuas ntxiv los ntawm Pope Paul VI tom qab John XXIII tas sim neej.

The last days of Catholicism, as Martin expressed it, identifies the struggle between the infallibility and primacy of the church of Rome as set forth in Vatican I, versus the liberalism that is currently on display by Francis the woke-pope, and represented in the documents of Vatican II. Martin suggests that within the struggle for these two approaches of controlling the church, the third world war breaks out, and Jesus returns, comes down to earth and places his blessing upon the good pope and takes the throne of the Catholic church.

Raws li Martin tau hais, cov hnub kawg ntawm Catholicism qhia txog kev tawm tsam ntawm qhov kev tsis yuam kev thiab txoj cai ua thawj ntawm lub koom txoos Rome raws li tau muab teev tseg hauv Vatican I, tawm tsam rau txoj kev ywj pheej tshiab uas tam sim no tab tom tshwm los ntawm Francis tus “woke-pope,” thiab raug sawv cev nyob hauv cov ntaub ntawv ntawm Vatican II. Martin hais tias nyob hauv txoj kev tawm tsam rau ob txoj kev no ntawm kev tswj hwm lub koom txoos, tsov rog ntiaj teb zaum peb tawg tawm, thiab Yexus rov qab los, nqes los rau saum ntuj los rau hauv ntiaj teb thiab muab Nws txoj koob hmoov rau saum tus pope zoo thiab txais lub zwm txwv ntawm lub koom txoos Catholic.

In verses thirteen through fifteen, of Daniel eleven, the history that immediately precedes the Sunday law of verse sixteen, describes the third and final battle of the proxy wars. It is the battle that follows Putin’s victory in verses eleven and twelve, but in the middle of those three verses, verse fourteen identifies when Catholicism enters into the history of the last days.

Hauv nqe kaum peb txog kaum tsib ntawm Daniyee kaum ib, keeb kwm uas tam sim ntawd los ua ntej txoj cai hnub Sunday hauv nqe kaum rau, piav txog tsov rog thib peb thiab zaum kawg ntawm cov tsov rog sawv cev. Nws yog tsov rog uas los tom qab Putin txoj kev yeej hauv nqe kaum ib thiab kaum ob, tiam sis nyob hauv nruab nrab ntawm peb nqe ntawd, nqe kaum plaub qhia txog lub sijhawm uas Catholicism nkag los rau hauv keeb kwm ntawm hnub kawg.

According to Isaiah the whore of Rome is forgotten during the symbolic seventy-year reign of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The first time the papacy was enthroned upon the earth in 538, the waymark that preceded her enthronement was the decree of Justinian in 533.

Raws li Yaxayas hais, tus niam ntiav ntawm Loos raug hnov qab thaum lub sijhawm cim uas yog xya caum xyoo ntawm txoj kev kav ntawm lub nceeg vaj thib rau hauv Vajlugkub tej lus faj lem. Thawj zaug uas txoj kev ua papas tau raug tsa los kav saum lub ntiaj teb hauv xyoo 538, tus cim qhia txoj kev uas los ua ntej nws raug tsa los kav yog txoj cai txib ntawm Justinian hauv xyoo 533.

The history surrounding Justinian’s decree identifies that Justinian sought to consolidate his control over his kingdom by bringing an end to the religious argument that had been causing turmoil in the kingdom. That argument was whether the church in Constantinople in the east, or the church in Rome in the west was the head of the so-called Christian church. In verse thirteen, the last president of the United States will be confronted with a controversy that forces him to parallel the history of Justinian, and declare that the Catholic church is the head of the churches, and the corrector of heretics, in order to establish the necessary political support to consolidate his power.

Keeb kwm uas nyob ib ncig ntawm Justinian txoj kev cai lij choj qhia meej tias Justinian nrhiav kev sib sau ua ke nws txoj kev tswj hwm nws lub nceeg vaj los ntawm kev coj kom xaus rau qhov kev sib cav txog kev ntseeg uas tau ua rau muaj kev kub ntxhov hauv lub nceeg vaj. Qhov kev sib cav ntawd yog hais tias puas yog pawg ntseeg hauv Constantinople nyob sab hnub tuaj, los yog pawg ntseeg hauv Rome nyob sab hnub poob, yog lub taub hau ntawm pawg ntseeg uas hu ua Khetos. Hauv nqe kaum peb, tus thawj tswj hwm kawg ntawm Tebchaws Meskas yuav ntsib ib qho kev tsis sib haum uas yuam nws kom taug raws li keeb kwm ntawm Justinian, thiab tshaj tawm tias lub Koom Txoos Kas Tos Liv yog lub taub hau ntawm cov koom txoos, thiab yog tus kho cov neeg yuam kev, kom thiaj tsim tau txoj kev txhawb nqa nom tswv uas tsim nyog los sib sau ua ke nws lub hwj chim.

We should not place any confidence in the satanic predictions of Fatima, but we are required to see what is revealed in God’s Word. In the beginning of the twentieth century both horns of the earth beast entered into their third generation, which is the generation of compromise. The Republican horn surrendered its financial system to the world bankers, which trace their origins back to the house of the Red Shield, the Rothschilds, and its mysterious connection with the Illuminati, Freemasonry, secret societies and the Jesuit order. Sister White directly warns of these entities. During the same period of time Laodicean Adventism, as the Protestant horn, surrendered its educational and religious institutions to the governing of the world.

Peb tsis txhob tso siab rau ib qho kev ntseeg siab twg hauv cov lus twv phem uas yog Xatas li ntawm Fatima, tiam sis peb raug hu kom pom qhov uas raug tshwm tawm hauv Vajtswv Txojlus. Thaum pib ntawm xyoo pua nees nkaum, ob lub kub ntawm tus tsiaj qus hauv ntiajteb nkag mus rau hauv lawv tiam thib peb, uas yog tiam ntawm kev sib haum xeeb nrog kev tso tseg txoj cai. Lub kub Republican tau muab nws txoj kev tswj nyiaj txiag rau cov neeg txhab nyiaj ntawm lub ntiajteb, uas taug lawv keeb kwm rov qab mus rau lub tsev ntawm Daim Phiaj Liab, yog cov Rothschilds, thiab nws txoj kev txuas uas tsis meej pem nrog cov Illuminati, Freemasonry, cov koom haum zais, thiab pawg Jesuit. Muam White ceeb toom ncaj qha txog cov koomhaum no. Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm ntawd Laodicean Adventism, raws li lub kub Protestant, tau muab nws cov tsev kawm ntawv thiab tej koomhaum kev ntseeg rau txoj kev tswj kav ntawm lub ntiajteb.

In that very time period, the modern king of the south begins its history with the Russian Revolution, and the modern king of the north begins its history with the miracle of Fatima. As Malachi Martin emphasizes in his book, beyond the internal struggle of the good and bad pope, the Fatima messages identified the struggle of Catholicism against atheism in general, but more specifically against the atheism of Russia. The secret that the pope in 1917 was to act upon contained the (satanic) promise, that if the pope would call a conclave and dedicate Russia to the Virgin Mary, then there would not be a second world war. It also identified that if the pope refused Russia would spread its philosophy far and wide and there would then be another world war.

Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm ntawd, tus vajntxwv niaj hnub no ntawm sab qab teb pib nws keeb kwm nrog Kev Tawm Tsam Lavxias, thiab tus vajntxwv niaj hnub no ntawm sab qaum teb pib nws keeb kwm nrog txujci tseem ceeb ntawm Fatima. Raws li Malachi Martin hais meej hauv nws phau ntawv, dhau qhov kev tawm tsam sab hauv ntawm tus pope zoo thiab tus pope phem lawm, tej lus ceebtoom ntawm Fatima tau qhia txog kev tawm tsam ntawm Kev Ntseeg Kas Tos Liv tawm tsam kev tsis ntseeg Vajtswv feem ntau, tiam sis tshwj xeeb tshaj yog tawm tsam kev tsis ntseeg Vajtswv ntawm Russia. Qhov zais cia uas tus pope xyoo 1917 yuav tsum ua raws ntawd muaj nyob hauv nws ib lo lus cog tseg (ntawm Xatas), tias yog tus pope hu ib rooj sibtham conclave thiab fij Russia rau Nkauj Ntshiab Mab Liab Nkauj Xwb, ces yuav tsis muaj tsov rog ntiaj teb zaum ob. Nws kuj tau qhia tias yog tus pope tsis kam, Russia yuav nthuav nws txoj kev xav mus dav kawg nkaus, thiab ces yuav muaj dua ib zaug ntxiv tsov rog ntiaj teb.

The second world war included the war of Catholicism against the Communism of Russia. Catholicism’s proxy army in that war was Nazi Germany. The papacy always employs proxy armies. In 1933 the Catholic church, through the work of Cardinal Pacelli, signed a concordat with Adolph Hitler that allowed Hitler to take control of Germany, and by Hitler’s own testimony, that contract (concordat), was what allowed Hitler to solve the Jewish question. The Nazi’s were the papacy’s proxy against atheistic Russia in World War II, and in the second battle of the proxy wars, now being accomplished in the Ukraine, it is being carried out by another Nazi proxy army.

Tsov Rog Ntiaj Teb Zaum Ob tau muaj kev tsov rog ntawm Khetos Kav Tos Liv tawm tsam kev Communist ntawm Russia. Cov tub rog sawv cev uas Khetos Kav Tos Liv siv hauv txoj kev tsov rog ntawd yog Nazi Germany. Lub hwj chim papacy ib txwm siv cov tub rog sawv cev. Xyoo 1933 lub koom txoos Khetos Kav Tos Liv, los ntawm txoj haujlwm ntawm Cardinal Pacelli, tau kos npe rau ib daim concordat nrog Adolph Hitler uas pub rau Hitler los tuav txoj kev tswj hwm ntawm Germany, thiab raws li Hitler tus kheej zaj lus tim khawv, daim ntawv cog lus (concordat) ntawd yog yam uas pub rau Hitler daws tau lo lus nug txog cov Yudais. Cov Nazi yog cov tub rog sawv cev ntawm papacy tawm tsam Russia uas tsis lees paub Vajtswv hauv Tsov Rog Ntiaj Teb Zaum Ob, thiab hauv qhov kev sib ntaus zaum ob ntawm cov kev tsov rog sawv cev ntawd, uas tam sim no tab tom raug ua kom tiav nyob hauv Ukraine, nws tab tom raug ua los ntawm lwm pab tub rog Nazi sawv cev.

We will continue this study in the next article.

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

“Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. 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.

“Los ntawm ob txoj kev yuam kev loj—txoj kev ntseeg tias tus ntsuj plig tsis txawj tuag thiab kev tuav hnub Sunday ua hnub dawb huv—Xatas yuav coj cov neeg los poob rau hauv nws tej kev dag ntxias. Thaum qhov thawj ua lub hauv paus rau kev ntseeg dab, qhov tom qab tsim kev sib raug zoo nrog Loos. Cov Protestant hauv Tebchaws Meskas yuav yog cov ua ntej tshaj plaws ncab tes hla lub kwj deg kom tuav tes nrog kev ntseeg dab; lawv yuav ncav tes hla lub chaw tob tsis muaj qab kom los koom tes nrog lub hwj chim Loos; thiab nyob rau hauv txoj kev cuam tshuam ntawm txoj kev sib koom peb txheej no, lub tebchaws no yuav taug raws li Loos cov kauj ruam hauv kev tsuj hwm txoj cai ntawm lub siab dawb paug.”

“As spiritualism more closely imitates the nominal Christianity of the day, it has greater power to deceive and ensnare. Satan himself is converted, after the modern order of things. He will appear in the character of an angel of light. Through the agency of spiritualism, miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and many undeniable wonders will be performed. And as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible, and manifest respect for the institutions of the church, their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power.

“Thaum txoj kev hu plig phem hajyam xyaum raws li txoj kev ntseeg Khetos uas tsuas muaj npe nyob rau niaj hnub no ntau zuj zus, nws hajyam muaj hwjchim los dag ntxias thiab ntes cuab. Xatas nws tus kheej yuav hloov siab los ntseeg, raws li txheej txheem tshiab ntawm tej xwm txheej niaj hnub no. Nws yuav tshwm los nyob hauv tus cwj pwm ntawm ib tug timtswv uas yog timtswv kaj. Los ntawm txoj kev ua haujlwm ntawm kev hu plig phem, yuav muaj tej txujci tseemceeb tshwm sim, cov neeg mob yuav raug kho kom zoo, thiab yuav muaj ntau yam txujci uas tsis muaj leejtwg yuav tsis lees tau raug ua. Thiab vim cov dab yuav lees hais tias lawv ntseeg phau Vajlugkub, thiab qhia kev hwm rau tej koom haum ntawm pawg ntseeg, lawv tes haujlwm yuav raug lees txais tias yog ib qho kev tshwm sim ntawm Vajtswv lub hwjchim.

“The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.

“Txoj kab uas cais cov Khixatia uas lees lub npe tawm ntawm cov neeg tsis ntseeg Vajtswv tam sim no twb yuav luag pom tsis txawv lawm. Cov tswvcuab hauv pawg ntseeg nyiam yam uas lub ntiajteb nyiam thiab npaj siab koom nrog lawv, thiab Xatas txiav txim siab yuav muab lawv los koom ua ib lub cev, thiab li no ua kom nws txoj hauj lwm muaj zog dua los ntawm kev cheb txhua tus mus rau hauv cov qeb ntawm kev ntseeg ntsujplig. Cov Papists, uas khav txog tej txuj ci tseem ceeb tias yog ib qho cim tseeb ntawm pawg ntseeg tseeb, yuav raug dag ntxias yooj yim los ntawm lub hwjchim ua tej txujci no; thiab cov Protestants, vim tau muab daim hlau thaiv ntawm qhov tseeb pov tseg lawm, kuj yuav raug ntxias dag thiab. Cov Papists, cov Protestants, thiab cov neeg ntiajteb yuav ib yam nkaus lees txais daim duab ntawm kev hwm Vajtswv uas tsis muaj hwjchim, thiab lawv yuav pom nyob hauv txoj kev sib koom no ib qho kev txav loj kawg rau kev hloov siab los ntseeg ntawm lub ntiajteb thiab rau kev coj los txog ntawm txhiab xyoo uas tau tos ntsoov ntev los lawm.”

“Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin. Intemperance dethrones reason; sensual indulgence, strife, and bloodshed follow. Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.

“Los ntawm kev ntseeg hu plig, Xatas tshwm los zoo li yog tus muaj siab pab rau tib neeg haiv neeg, kho cov kab mob ntawm cov pejxeem, thiab tshaj tawm tias nws tab tom nthuav ib txoj kab ke tshiab thiab siab dua ntawm txoj kev ntseeg; tiamsis tib lub sijhawm ntawd nws tab tom ua tus rhuav tshem. Nws tej kev ntxias tab tom coj coob leej mus rau kev puastsuaj. Kev tsis paub txwv hauv kev haus dej cawv muab kev txawj xav ncaj ncees txo pov tseg; kev ua raws kev ntshaw cev nqaij daim tawv, kev sib ceg sib ntaus, thiab kev tua neeg los ntshav thiaj li raws qab los. Xatas zoo siab rau kev ua rog, rau qhov kev ua rog ntawd ua rau tej kev ntshaw phem tshaj plaws hauv tus ntsuj plig raug kub ntxhov sawv, thiab tom qab ntawd cheb nws cov neeg raug tsim txom mus rau hauv ib txhis nyob rau hauv kev txhaum phem thiab ntshav. Nws lub hom phiaj yog los txhawb cov haiv neeg kom ua rog tawm tsam ib leeg ib tug, rau qhov li no nws thiaj muab tau neeg lub siab tig mus deb ntawm txoj hauj lwm npaj kom sawv taus rau hnub ntawm Vajtswv.”

“Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.” The Great Controversy, 588, 589.

“Xatas kuj ua hauj lwm dhau ntawm tej ntsiab tseem ceeb ntawm ntuj tsim thiab, kom nws sau tau nws cov qoob loo ntawm cov ntsuj plig uas tsis tau npaj txhij. Nws tau kawm txog tej yam zais ntawm tej chaw kuaj hauv ntuj tsim, thiab nws siv tag nrho nws lub hwj chim los tswj tej ntsiab no raws li Vajtswv pub. Thaum nws raug tso cai kom tsim txom Yauj, pab yaj, pab tsiaj, cov tub qhe, tej tsev, thiab cov me nyuam raug cheb ploj mus sai npaum li cas, ib txoj kev txom nyem raws ib txoj kev txom nyem los, zoo li nyob hauv ib pliag xwb. Yog Vajtswv uas tiv thaiv Nws tej tsiaj txhu tsim los thiab ua laj kab thaiv lawv ntawm tus uas rhuav tshem lub hwj chim. Tiam sis lub ntiaj teb Khixatia tau qhia kev saib tsis taus rau Yehauvas txoj kevcai; thiab tus Tswv yuav ua raws nraim li Nws tau tshaj tawm tias Nws yuav ua—Nws yuav thim Nws tej koob hmoov tawm hauv lub ntiaj teb mus thiab tshem Nws txoj kev saib xyuas tiv thaiv tawm ntawm cov uas tab tom ntxeev siab tawm tsam Nws txoj kevcai thiab nws tej lus qhuab qhia, thiab yuam kom lwm tus ua ib yam nkaus. Xatas muaj hwj chim tswj txhua tus uas Vajtswv tsis tshwj xeeb tiv thaiv. Nws yuav pub txiaj ntsig thiab ua kom qee leej vam meej kom txhawb nws tus kheej tej hom phiaj, hos nws yuav coj teeb meem los rau lwm tus thiab ua rau tib neeg ntseeg tias yog Vajtswv uas tab tom tsim txom lawv.” Kev Txom Nyem Loj, 588, 589.
