Those on the wrong side of this final controversy of the symbol of Rome lean upon a flawed application of a triple application of prophecy as they suggest that the three Rome’s are defined by the three Sunday laws of the years 321, 538 and the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. In doing so they place an incorrect slant upon the rule and the prophetic history they select, as was also done in the controversy over the four insects of Joel. The four generations followed by four devouring insects in the first six verses of Joel address how God’s people are progressively decimated over four generations, and that the decimation was accomplished by Adventism’s acceptance of the theology of Rome and apostate Protestantism.
Cov uas nyob sab tsis yog hauv qhov kev sib cav kawg no hais txog lub cim ntawm Loos vam khom rau ib txoj kev siv lus faj lem peb txheej uas tsis raug, thaum lawv hais tias peb Loos no raug txhais los ntawm peb txoj cai Hnub Caiv ntawm xyoo 321, 538, thiab txoj cai Hnub Caiv uas yuav los sai no hauv Tebchaws Meskas. Thaum ua li ntawd lawv muab ib qho kev txhais uas tsis raug rau txoj cai thiab rau keeb kwm lus faj lem uas lawv xaiv, ib yam li tau muaj nyob rau hauv qhov kev sib cav txog plaub hom kab hauv Joel. Plaub tiam neeg uas tom qab ntawd muaj plaub hom kab noj nqos hauv thawj rau nqe ntawm Joel hais txog qhov uas Vajtswv haiv neeg raug txo kom ploj zuj zus mus thoob plaws plaub tiam neeg, thiab tias qhov kev txo kom ploj ntawd tau raug ua tiav los ntawm Adventism txoj kev lees txais kev ntseeg txheej txheem ntawm Loos thiab Protestantism uas twb khiav dim lawm.
In the current controversy those who attempt to employ the Sunday law to define the three Rome’s, avoid the truth that there are actually four Sunday laws that are identified in God’s prophetic Word, and that the year 321 represents the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, and the Sunday law of 538 typifies the Sunday law which is enforced upon all the nations of the world. Four Sunday laws does not identify three Sunday laws, especially when the third manifestation in a triple application of prophecy represents the final fulfillment. The soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is not the final Sunday law, it actually marks the beginning of a series of Sunday laws as each nation on the globe progressively accepts the mark of papal authority.
Hauv qhov kev sib cav tam sim no no, cov uas sim siv txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli los txhais kom meej txog peb lub Loos, zam qhov tseeb tias yeej muaj plaub txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli uas raug cim tseg nyob hauv Vajtswv Txojlus cev Vajtswv lus, thiab tias xyoo 321 sawv cev rau txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli uas tab tom yuav los sai sai hauv Tebchaws Meskas, hos txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli xyoo 538 yog tus qauv qhia ua ntej txog txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli uas raug yuam siv rau txhua haiv neeg hauv lub ntiajteb. Plaub txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli tsis qhia kom paub peb txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog thaum qhov kev tshwm sim thib peb hauv ib daim ntawv thov cev Vajtswv lus peb npaug sawv cev rau qhov ua tiav kawg nkaus. Txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli uas tab tom yuav los sai sai hauv Tebchaws Meskas tsis yog txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli kawg, tiag tiag nws cim txog qhov pib ntawm ib kab kev txuas ntxiv ntawm ntau txoj cai Hnub Xya Hli raws li txhua lub tebchaws thoob plaws lub ntiajteb maj mam lees txais lub cim ntawm hwjchim kav ntawm papacy.
Those who were awakened in July, 2023, are required to understand that the prophetic test that confronts them occurs during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and that during that outpouring one class is receiving the “oil,” and the other class is receiving “strong delusion.” The primary representation of those who receive strong delusion is represented in the very chapter where the expression strong delusion is located, and in that chapter the truth that is either loved or rejected is the truth which defines the prophetic relationship between pagan Rome and papal Rome.
Cov uas tau raug tsa sawv thaum Lub Xya hli ntuj, 2023, raug hu kom nkag siab tias txoj kev xeem yaj saub uas ntsib lawv tshwm sim thaum lub sij hawm uas Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv raug nchuav tawm, thiab tias nyob hauv qhov kev nchuav tawm ntawd ib pab neeg tab tom txais “roj,” hos lwm pab neeg tab tom txais “kev dag ntxias loj.” Tus qauv sawv cev tseem ceeb ntawm cov uas txais kev dag ntxias loj raug nthuav tawm nyob hauv tib tshooj uas muaj lo lus “kev dag ntxias loj” nyob ntawd, thiab hauv tshooj ntawd qhov tseeb uas ib tug yuav hlub lossis tsis lees txais yog qhov tseeb uas txhais txoj kev sib raug zoo yaj saub ntawm pagan Rome thiab papal Rome.
The prophetic relationship between 321 and 538 is shown by the prophetic relationship between the church of Pergamos and the church of Thyatira. In the last days, pagan Rome, represented by 321 and Pergamos, is a symbol of the United States, and papal Rome, represented by 538 and Thyatira, is a symbol of Modern Rome.
Kev sib raug zoo ntawm yav tom ntej hauv lus faj lem ntawm 321 thiab 538 raug qhia los ntawm kev sib raug zoo hauv lus faj lem ntawm pawg ntseeg Pergamos thiab pawg ntseeg Thyatira. Nyob rau hnub kawg, Loos kev pe dab pe mlom, uas 321 thiab Pergamos sawv cev rau, yog ib lub cim ntawm Tebchaws Meskas, thiab Loos papacy, uas 538 thiab Thyatira sawv cev rau, yog ib lub cim ntawm Loos Niaj Hnub No.
The first Rome of 321 was a singular power state, and the second Rome of 538 was a dual power representing a combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. The third and final Rome, which is modern Rome, is a threefold power that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
Lub Loos Xub Thawj xyoo 321 yog ib lub xeev hwjchim tshwj xeeb ib leeg xwb, thiab Lub Loos Xub Ob xyoo 538 yog ib lub hwjchim ob npaug sawv cev rau kev sib xyaw ntawm pawg ntseeg thiab lub xeev, uas pawg ntseeg yog tus tswj hwm txoj kev sib raug ntawd. Lub Loos Xub Peb thiab zaum kawg, uas yog Loos niaj hnub no, yog ib lub hwjchim peb npaug uas muaj tus zaj, tus tsiaj qus, thiab tus yaj saub cuav.
Paul taught that to not understand the prophetic and historic relationship of pagan Rome (the dragon) and papal Rome (the beast) was to manifest a hatred of the truth which brought about strong delusion. All the prophets, including Paul were more specifically addressing the last days, so the relationship between the two powers in Paul’s history represents the relationship between the three powers of Modern Rome in the last days. To reject the prophetic relationship that “forms” the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days is to secure strong delusion for yourself.
Povlauj tau hais qhia tias yog tsis to taub txog txoj kev sib raug zoo raws li yav tom ntej thiab raws keeb kwm ntawm Loos lwm haiv (tus zaj) thiab Loos papacy (tus tsiaj nyaum), ces yog tab tom qhia tawm ib txoj kev ntxub qhov tseeb uas ua rau muaj kev dag ntxias loj heev. Tag nrho cov yaj saub, Povlauj nrog rau hauv thiab, tau hais tshwj xeeb tshaj yog txog hnub kawg; yog li ntawd, txoj kev sib raug zoo ntawm ob lub hwj chim ntawd hauv Povlauj keeb kwm sawv cev rau txoj kev sib raug zoo ntawm peb lub hwj chim ntawm Loos Niaj Hnub hauv hnub kawg. Kev tsis lees txais txoj kev sib raug zoo raws yaj saub uas “tsim” kom muaj kev koom ua peb npaug ntawm tus zaj, tus tsiaj nyaum, thiab tus yaj saub cuav hauv hnub kawg, yog kev muab txoj kev dag ntxias loj heev ruaj rau koj tus kheej.
Uriah Smith’s private interpretation of the king of the north represented a “cause” that produced an “effect.” But the class that is on the wrong side of the controversies about Rome is specifically identified as being unable to reason from cause to effect. Smith did not see that his flawed application of the king of the north would produce a prophetic platform which would lead him to also misrepresent the sixth plague, where there is a warning to keep or lose the garment of Christ’s righteousness.
Uriah Smith txoj kev txhais ntiag tug hais txog vajntxwv sab qaum teb sawv cev rau ib qho “yam ua” uas tsim tawm ib qho “yam tshwm sim.” Tiamsis pawg uas nyob sab yuam kev hauv cov kev sib cav txog Loos raug txheeb meej tias yog cov tsis muaj peev xwm xav txiav txim ntawm yam ua mus rau yam tshwm sim. Smith tsis pom tias nws txoj kev siv tsis raug rau vajntxwv sab qaum teb yuav tsim tawm ib lub hauv paus yaj saub uas yuav coj nws mus rau qhov nws kuj yuav piav yuam kev txog lub phaum xwm txheej thib rau, qhov chaw uas muaj ib lo lus ceeb toom kom khaws lossis poob lub tsho ntawm Khetos txoj kev ncaj ncees.
As with Paul’s emphasis in 2 Thessalonians, John in chapter sixteen of Revelation and the sixth plague emphasizes the necessity of understanding who the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon are. Smith’s flawed application of the king of the north provides witness to an inability to rightly apply types and antitypes.
Ib yam li Povlauj txoj kev hais txog qhov tseem ceeb hauv 2 Thexalaunikes, Yauhas hauv Tshwm Sim tshooj kaum rau thiab kev raug txim thib rau hais txog qhov yuav tsum nkag siab tias peb lub hwj chim uas coj lub ntiajteb mus rau Armageddon yog leejtwg. Smith txoj kev siv “vajntxwv sab qaum teb” uas yuam kev ua timkhawv txog qhov tsis muaj peevxwm los siv cov qauv cev lus yav tom ntej thiab yam uas yog kev ua tiav tiag raws li qhov raug.
Smith could not, or would not, apply the principle so strongly set forth in the writings of Paul that the literal before the time-period of the cross represented the spiritual after the time-period of the cross. When this principle is carefully and correctly followed it is easily demonstrated that the “king of the north” is one of many symbols that represent the spiritual “king of the north” in the last days. Seventh-day Adventists above any other people should know that one of the primary structures that prophecy is based upon is the controversy between Christ and Satan. Christ is the true King of the north, and Satan has been attempting to manifest himself as the counterfeit king of the north.
Smith tsis muaj peev xwm, lossis tsis kam, siv lub hauv paus ntsiab cai uas tau muab hais tseg muaj zog heev hauv cov ntawv sau ntawm Povlauj tias yam cev nqaij daim tawv ua ntej lub sijhawm ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig yog tus sawv cev rau yam sab ntsuj plig tom qab lub sijhawm ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig. Thaum ua tib zoo thiab raug raws nraim ua raws li lub hauv paus ntsiab cai no, ces kuj yooj yim los qhia tau tias “vajntxwv qaum teb” yog ib qho ntawm ntau lub cim uas sawv cev rau tus “vajntxwv qaum teb” sab ntsuj plig hauv hnub kawg. Cov Seventh-day Adventists tshaj txhua haiv neeg lwm tus yuav tsum paub tias ib qho ntawm cov qauv tseem ceeb uas lus faj lem raug tsa rau saum yog txoj kev sib cav sib ceg ntawm Khetos thiab Xatas. Khetos yog tus Vajntxwv qaum teb uas muaj tseeb, hos Xatas tau sim ua kom nws tus kheej tshwm los ua tus vajntxwv qaum teb cuav.
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Psalms 48:1–3.
Ib Zaj Nkauj thiab Ntawv Nkauj rau cov tub ntawm Kora. Tus Tswv yog tus loj kawg nkaus, thiab tsim nyog txais kev qhuas loj kawg nkaus hauv lub nroog ntawm peb tus Vajtswv, saum nws lub roob dawb huv. Lub chaw ntawd zoo nkauj heev, yog txoj kev xyiv fab rau tag nrho lub ntiajteb; yog lub roob Xi-oos, nyob rau sab qaum teb, yog lub nroog ntawm tus Vajntxwv loj. Vajtswv raug paub nyob hauv nws tej vaj loog ua chaw nkaum ruaj khov. Ntawv Nkauj 48:1–3.
Satan’s efforts to counterfeit the true King of the north, includes employing the pope of Rome as his earthly representative. Satan is antichrist, and so is the pope of Rome, who is Satan’s proxy in his work of deception.
Dab Ntxwg txoj kev rau siab dag ntxias ua yam cuav piv txwv rau tus Vajntxwv tiag tiag ntawm sab qaum teb, muaj xws li siv tus txiv plig loj ntawm Loos ua nws tus sawv cev nyob ntiajteb no. Dab Ntxwg Nyoog yog antichrist, thiab tus txiv plig loj ntawm Loos kuj yog li ntawd thiab, tus uas yog Dab Ntxwg Nyoog tus neeg sawv cev hauv nws txoj haujlwm dag ntxias.
“To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.
“Kom txais tau tej txiaj ntsim thiab meej mom hauv ntiajteb no, pawg ntseeg thiaj raug coj mus nrhiav kev pom zoo thiab kev txhawb nqa ntawm cov neeg loj hauv ntiajteb; thiab thaum twb tau muab Khetos tso tseg li ntawd lawm, nws thiaj raug ntxias kom zwm rau tus sawv cev ntawm Xatas—tus npis sov ntawm Loos.” The Great Controversy, 50.
In the breakup of Alexander the Great’s kingdom, Seleucus Nicator became the first king of the north in the history represented in Daniel chapter eleven. His father, Antiochus, had been an influential leader in Alexander’s kingdom, and his son, Seleucus, was made the satrap of Babylon. A “satrap” is a governor, and when Seleucus had secured three of the four geographical areas that Alexander’s kingdom divided into, he became the king of the north.
Thaum lub nceeg vaj ntawm Alexander tus Loj tawg ua ntu zus, Seleucus Nicator tau los ua thawj tus vaj ntxwv sab qaum teb hauv keeb kwm uas raug sawv cev hauv Daniel tshooj kaum ib. Nws txiv, Antiochus, tau yog ib tug thawj coj muaj hwj chim hauv Alexander lub nceeg vaj, thiab nws tus tub, Seleucus, raug tsa ua tus satrap ntawm Babylon. Ib tug “satrap” yog ib tug tswv xeev, thiab thaum Seleucus tau ruaj khov tuav tau peb ntawm plaub thaj chaw uas Alexander lub nceeg vaj tau muab faib ua, nws thiaj los ua tus vaj ntxwv sab qaum teb.
Smith’s private interpretation and avoidance of grammatical rules led him to assume the final powers that made up Satan’s confederacy of evil in the last days were represented in prophecy as literal powers, not spiritual powers. Thus, he could not see that Seleucus Nicator as the first king of the north, the governor of Babylon, would of prophetic necessity represent the final spiritual king of the north who was the power that controlled modern spiritual Babylon.
Kev txhais ntiag tug ntawm Smith thiab nws txoj kev zam tej cai ntawm qauv lus tau coj nws mus rau qhov xaus tias cov hwj chim kawg uas tsim ua Xatas txoj kev koom tes ntawm kev phem hauv hnub kawg raug sawv cev hauv yaj saub lus raws li hwj chim tiag tiag, tsis yog hwj chim sab ntsuj plig. Yog li ntawd, nws thiaj tsis pom tias Seleucus Nicator, uas yog thawj tus vaj ntxwv sab qaum teb, tus tswv xeev ntawm Npanpiloo, raws li qhov yuav tsum muaj ntawm yaj saub lus, yuav tsum sawv cev rau tus vaj ntxwv sab qaum teb kawg ntawm sab ntsuj plig, uas yog lub hwj chim tswj hwm Npanpiloo sab ntsuj plig niaj hnub no.
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:1-6.
Ces ib tug ntawm xya tug tim tswv uas tuav xya lub tais txawm los hais nrog kuv tias, “Los ntawm no; kuv yuav qhia rau koj pom txoj kev txiav txim rau tus poj niam deev hluas loj uas zaum saum ntau dej: cov vaj ntxwv hauv ntiaj teb tau nrog nws ua nkauj ua nraug, thiab cov neeg nyob hauv ntiaj teb tau qaug dej qaug cawv rau cawv txiv hmab ntawm nws txoj kev deev hluas.” Ces nws thiaj coj kuv mus rau hauv tus Ntsuj Plig mus rau tom roob moj sab qhua: thiab kuv pom ib tug poj niam zaum saum ib tug tsiaj qus uas muaj xim liab vog, puv npo tej npe hais lus thuam Vajtswv, muaj xya lub taub hau thiab kaum tug kub. Tus poj niam ntawd hnav ris tsho xim paj yeeb thiab xim liab vog, thiab raug ntxhias nrog kub thiab pob zeb muaj nqes thiab hlaws, tuav ib lub khob kub hauv nws txhais tes, puv npo tej yam qias vuab tsuab thiab tej kev qias tsis huv ntawm nws txoj kev deev hluas: Thiab saum nws lub hauv pliaj muaj ib lub npe sau tseg tias, KEV ZAIS NTXIV, NPAABILOO LUB NROOG LOJ, NIAM NTAWM COV POJ NIAM DEEV HLUAS THIAB COV KEV QIAS VUAB TSUAB HAUV NTIAJ TEB. Thiab kuv pom tus poj niam qaug cawv rau ntshav ntawm cov neeg dawb huv, thiab rau ntshav ntawm Yexus cov tim khawv tuag: thiab thaum kuv pom nws, kuv xav tsis thoob kawg li. Qhia Tshwm 17:1-6.
The power that governs Babylon in the last days is the papal church, and she is therefore also the spiritual king of the north.
Lub hwj chim uas kav Npanpiloos nyob rau hnub kawg yog pawg ntseeg papacy, thiab vim li ntawd nws kuj yog tus vajntxwv sab qaum teb ntawm sab ntsuj plig thiab.
“The woman (Babylon) of Revelation 17 is described as ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness:…and upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots.’ Says the prophet: ‘I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.’ Babylon is further declared to be ‘that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.’ Revelation 17:4-6, 18. The power that for so many centuries maintained despotic sway over the monarchs of Christendom is Rome. The purple and scarlet color, the gold and precious stones and pearls, vividly picture the magnificence and more than kingly pomp affected by the haughty see of Rome. And no other power could be so truly declared ‘drunken with the blood of the saints’ as that church which has so cruelly persecuted the followers of Christ. Babylon is also charged with the sin of unlawful connection with ‘the kings of the earth.’ It was by departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot; and Rome, corrupting herself in like manner by seeking the support of worldly powers, receives a like condemnation.” The Great Controversy, 382.
“Tus pojniam (Npanpiloo) hauv Tshwmsim 17 raug piav tias yog ‘hnav tsoos tsho liab doog thiab liab plhu, thiab raug kho kom zoo nkauj nrog kub thiab tej pob zeb muaj nqis thiab hlaws, tuav ib lub khob kub hauv nws txhais tes puv npo tej yam qias vuab tsuab thiab kev tsis huv: … thiab saum nws lub hauv pliaj muaj ib lub npe sau tias, Tsis Pub Paub, Npanpiloo Loj, niam ntawm cov niam ntiav.’ Tus cev Vajtswv lus hais tias: ‘Kuv pom tus pojniam qaug cawv nrog cov ntshav ntawm cov neeg dawb huv, thiab nrog cov ntshav ntawm Yexus cov tim khawv tuag vim txoj kev ntseeg.’ Npanpiloo tseem raug tshaj tawm ntxiv tias yog ‘lub nroog loj ntawd, uas kav vajntxwv hauv ntiajteb no.’ Tshwmsim 17:4-6, 18. Lub hwjchim uas tau kav tswj hwm cov vajntxwv ntawm lub ntiajteb Khixatia los ntawm kev tswj fwm nruj ua tswv kav ntau pua xyoo yog Loos. Xim liab doog thiab liab plhu, kub thiab tej pob zeb muaj nqis thiab hlaws, qhia meej txog txoj kev ci ntsa iab thiab lub hwjchim muaj meej mom uas dhau li ntawm vajntxwv uas lub zwm txwv khav theeb ntawm Loos nyiam nthuav tawm. Thiab tsis muaj dua lwm lub hwjchim twg uas yuav raug hu tau tseeb ua ‘qaug cawv nrog cov ntshav ntawm cov neeg dawb huv’ ib yam li pawg ntseeg ntawd uas tau tsim txom Khetos cov thwjtim nrog kev lim hiam ua luaj. Npanpiloo kuj raug foob nrog txoj kev txhaum ntawm kev koom txoos txhaum cai nrog ‘cov vajntxwv hauv ntiajteb no.’ Yog vim kev tig nraub qaum ntawm tus Tswv thiab kev koom tes nrog cov neeg txawv tebchaws pe dab pe mlom uas pawg ntseeg Yudais thiaj los ua ib tug niam ntiav; thiab Loos, ua rau nws tus kheej qias los ntawm tib yam kev coj no hauv kev nrhiav kev txhawb nqa ntawm lub hwjchim ntiajteb, thiaj txais tib qho kev txiav txim ib yam nkaus.” The Great Controversy, 382.
The governor is the king, and according to Isaiah, a king is a kingdom and is also the capital city of a kingdom.
Tus thawj xeev yog tus vajntxwv, thiab raws li Yaxayas hais, tus vajntxwv yog ib lub nceeg vaj thiab kuj yog lub nroog peev ntawm ib lub nceeg vaj thiab.
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.
Vim lub taub hau ntawm Syria yog Damascus, thiab lub taub hau ntawm Damascus yog Rezin; thiab tsis pub dhau rau caum tsib xyoos Efa‑i yuav raug tawg kom tsis txhob ua ib haiv neeg lawm. Thiab lub taub hau ntawm Efa‑i yog Samaria, thiab lub taub hau ntawm Samaria yog Remaliah tus tub. Yog nej tsis ntseeg, yeej muaj tseeb tias nej yuav tsis raug tsa kom ruaj khov. Yaxayas 7:8, 9.
According to the witness of Isaiah, a student of prophecy who awakens in July of 2023 to a prophetic testing process must recognize the prophetic symbolism of the “head” if he wishes to be established. If he doesn’t recognize and apply the symbolism of a “head” when called for, then he is not established. Those who disbelieve are not established, and therefore Isaiah is identifying two classes of worshippers in the last days who either are established or are not established. They are the same two classes who either have the “oil,” or they don’t have the “oil.”
Raws li Yesayas tej lus tim khawv, ib tug kawm txog tej lus faj lem uas sawv tsim los nyob rau lub Xya hli xyoo 2023 rau hauv ib txoj kev sim xyuas raws li yaj saub yuav tsum paub txog lub cim yaj saub ntawm “lub taub hau” yog nws xav kom raug tsa ruaj khov. Yog nws tsis lees paub thiab siv lub cim ntawm “ib lub taub hau” thaum raug hu kom ua li ntawd, ces nws tsis raug tsa ruaj khov. Cov uas tsis ntseeg tsis raug tsa ruaj khov, thiab yog li ntawd Yesayas tab tom txheeb ob pab neeg pe hawm hauv hnub kawg uas ib pab raug tsa ruaj khov hos ib pab tsis raug tsa ruaj khov. Lawv yog tib ob pab neeg ntawd uas ib pab muaj “roj,” hos ib pab tsis muaj “roj.”
One class that is established and has oil, receives the message of the Midnight Cry that began to be opened up in July of 2023, or they receive the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians. Their test is the formation of the image of the beast, and the way in which the beast is formed, whether the papal beast of the Dark Ages, or its image that is formed by the United States, or the threefold union that leads the world to Armageddon. This includes the necessity of recognizing that the “head,” the “king” the ruler of the other two powers that make up the threefold union, is the papal power.
Ib pab uas raug tsa ruaj khov thiab muaj roj, yuav txais zaj lus ntawm Kev Quaj Nruab Nrab Hmo Ntuj uas tau pib qhib tawm thaum Lub Xya Hli xyoo 2023, lossis lawv yuav txais txoj kev dag ntxias uas muaj hwj chim raws li 2 Thessalonians. Lawv txoj kev sim siab yog kev tsim daim duab ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum, thiab txoj kev uas tus tsiaj nyaum ntawd raug tsim, seb yog tus tsiaj nyaum ntawm papacy hauv Lub Sijhawm Tsaus Ntuj, lossis nws daim duab uas Tebchaws Meskas tsim, lossis kev koom siab peb ntu uas coj lub ntiaj teb mus rau Armageddon. Qhov no suav nrog qhov yuav tsum tau lees paub tias “lub taub hau,” “tus vajntxwv,” tus kav ob lub hwj chim ntxiv uas ua rau muaj kev koom siab peb ntu ntawd, yog lub hwj chim papal.
The “head,” the capital city of Judah was Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose to place His name.
“Lub taub hau,” uas yog lub nroog peev ntawm Yudas, yog lub nroog Yeluxalees, lub nroog uas tus Tswv tau xaiv los muab Nws lub npe tso rau ntawd.
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 1 Kings 14:21.
Thiab Rehobo-as, Xalaumoo tus tub, tau ua vajntxwv kav hauv Yudas. Rehobo-as muaj plaub caug ib xyoos thaum nws pib ua vajntxwv kav, thiab nws kav tau kaum xya xyoos hauv Yeluxalees, lub nroog uas tus Tswv tau xaiv tawm hauv txhua xeem neeg Ixayees kom tso nws lub npe nyob ntawd. Thiab nws niam lub npe yog Na-amas, ib tug pojniam Amoos. 1 Vajntxwv 14:21.
In the great controversy between Christ and Satan, Christ’s capital city, where He places His name, is Jerusalem, and Satan’s counterfeit was the literal city of Babylon that represents spiritual Babylon that great city in the last days. Satan places his name upon the head as a counterfeit of God’s city and capitol. The king that resides there is the mother of harlots who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The mother of harlots is the papal power, and her daughters are the fallen Protestant churches, of which the premier fallen apostate church is the apostate Protestants of the United States.
Nyob hauv txoj kev sib ceg loj ntawm Khetos thiab Xatas, Khetos lub nroog peev, uas Nws tso Nws lub npe rau ntawd, yog Yeluxalees; thiab Xatas txoj kev cuav txeeg cuav teg yog lub nroog Npanpiloo tiag tiag, uas sawv cev rau Npanpiloo sab ntsuj plig, lub nroog loj ntawd hauv hnub kawg. Xatas muab nws lub npe tso rau saum hauv pliaj ua ib qho cuav raws li Vajtswv lub nroog thiab lub peev. Tus vajntxwv uas nyob ntawd yog leej niam ntawm cov niam ntiav, uas nrog cov vajntxwv hauv ntiajteb ua nkauj ua nraug. Leej niam ntawm cov niam ntiav yog lub hwjchim papacy, thiab nws cov ntxhais yog cov pawg ntseeg Protestant uas poob lawm; hauv lawv ntawd pawg ntseeg uas poob thiab thim txojkev ntseeg loj tshaj yog cov Protestant uas thim txojkev ntseeg hauv Tebchaws Meskas.
Those apostate Protestants represent the Protestant horn of the earth beast, and they are connected with their mother since their rejection of the prophetic message that was unsealed in 1798. Their counterpart, the Republican horn, is connected with the kings of the earth through their relationship with the United Nations, the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The threefold union which leads the world to Armageddon is represented by its head, where its name is placed, and spiritual modern Rome is spiritual modern Babylon. Its “head” is the papal power.
Cov Protestants uas thim rov qab ntawm txoj kev ntseeg ntawd sawv cev rau lub kub ntawm Protestant ntawm tus tsiaj qus hauv ntiajteb, thiab lawv txuas nrog lawv niam vim lawv tau tsis lees txais txoj xov yaj saub uas raug qhib lub cim tseg hauv xyoo 1798. Lawv tus khub, lub kub Republican, txuas nrog cov vajntxwv hauv ntiajteb los ntawm lawv txoj kev sib raug zoo nrog United Nations, uas yog kaum tug vajntxwv ntawm Tshwmsim kaum xya. Txoj kev koom ua peb fab uas coj lub ntiajteb mus rau Armageddon raug sawv cev los ntawm nws lub taubhau, qhov chaw uas nws lub npe raug muab tso cia, thiab Loos niaj hnub no ntawm sab ntsuj plig yog Npanpiloo niaj hnub no ntawm sab ntsuj plig. Nws lub “taubhau” yog lub hwjchim papal.
The first represents the last and whether you apply Daniel chapter two as did the Millerites, as representing four kingdoms, or as has been opened up in the last days as representing eight kingdoms, the first kingdom was literal Babylon. The Millerites would inform you the last was literal Rome. Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols, for they are the first and the last of a prophetic line.
Tus thawj yog sawv cev rau tus kawg, thiab txawm koj siv Daniel tshooj ob raws li cov Millerites tau siv, uas sawv cev rau plaub lub nceeg vaj, los yog raws li tau raug qhib tawm nyob rau hnub kawg no tias nws sawv cev rau yim lub nceeg vaj, lub nceeg vaj thawj yog Babylon tiag tiag. Cov Millerites yuav qhia rau koj tias tus kawg yog Loos tiag tiag. Babylon thiab Loos yog cov cim uas siv sib pauv tau, rau qhov lawv yog tus thawj thiab tus kawg ntawm ib txoj kab lus cev Vajlugkub.
In the last days the first kingdom of literal Babylon represents the eighth and last kingdom which is spiritual modern Babylon, and is also spiritual modern Rome. Upon the two witnesses represented in Daniel chapter two Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols.
Nyob rau hauv tej hnub kawg no, thawj lub nceeg vaj Npanpiloo tiag sawv cev rau lub nceeg vaj thib yim thiab lub kawg, uas yog Npanpiloo sab ntsuj plig niaj hnub no, thiab kuj yog Loos sab ntsuj plig niaj hnub no thiab. Raws li ob tug timkhawv uas sawv cev rau hauv Daniyee tshooj ob, Npanpiloo thiab Loos yog tej cim uas siv hloov pauv sib luag tau.
When the papal whore is portrayed with a name on her forehead that identifies “Mystery Babylon,” it is also identifying “mystery Rome.” A prophetic “mystery” represents a truth that is so profound that it is impossible to understand the depth of the truth represented therein, especially without the influence of the Holy Spirit. But a biblical “mystery” also demands that what is revealed in connection with the mystery is a required understanding for those who seek to pass the test. This is why two witnesses in Revelation emphasize the need to understand modern Rome.
Thaum tus niam ntiav papal raug piav qhia tias muaj ib lub npe sau rau ntawm nws lub hauv pliaj uas qhia tias yog “Mysteri Babylon,” ces qhov ntawd kuj tab tom txheeb qhia “mysterious Rome” thiab. Ib qho “mysterious” yav tom ntej sawv cev rau ib qhov tseeb uas tob kawg nkaus, txog npaum li tsis muaj peev xwm to taub tau qhov tob ntawm qhov tseeb uas raug sawv cev nyob hauv ntawd, tshwj xeeb yog tsis muaj tus Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv txoj kev txhawb. Tiamsis ib qho “mysterious” hauv Vajlugkub kuj tseem yuam kom paub tias yam uas raug nthuav tawm cuam tshuam nrog qhov mysteri ntawd yog ib qho kev to taub uas yuav tsum muaj rau cov uas nrhiav kom dhau txoj kev xeem. Vim li no ob tug tim khawv hauv Phau Tshwm Sim thiaj hais kom meej txog qhov yuav tsum to taub Loos niaj hnub no.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18.
Nov yog kev txawj ntse nyob ntawm no. Tus uas muaj kev to taub, cia nws suav tus naj npawb ntawm tus tsiaj qus; rau qhov nws yog tus naj npawb ntawm ib tug neeg; thiab nws tus naj npawb yog Rau pua rau caum rau. Qhia Tshwm 13:18.
“Wisdom” understands the number of the beast, which is the number of a man whose number is six, six, six. The “man of sin” is the head of the beast. Wisdom is an attribute of the wise virgins in the last days, and it is also a symbol of those who understand the increase of knowledge in the last days. Those who do not understand are foolish virgins and are the wicked. The “wisdom” they do not understand must of prophetic necessity be in the context of the final prophetic test, for this is when the wise and foolish virgins exist. They must understand “six, six, six.” The mind that has wisdom is also located by John in the last days in Revelation chapter seventeen.
“Kev Txawj Ntse” nkag siab tus lej ntawm tus tsiaj qus, uas yog tus lej ntawm ib tug neeg, nws tus lej yog rau, rau, rau. Tus “neeg ntawm kev txhaum” yog lub taub hau ntawm tus tsiaj qus. Kev txawj ntse yog ib qho cwj pwm ntawm cov nkauj xwb muaj tswvyim nyob rau hnub kawg, thiab nws kuj yog ib lub cim ntawm cov uas nkag siab txog kev nce ntxiv ntawm kev paub nyob rau hnub kawg. Cov uas tsis nkag siab yog cov nkauj xwb ruam thiab yog cov neeg phem. “Kev txawj ntse” uas lawv tsis nkag siab ntawd, raws li qhov yuav tsum muaj ntawm lus faj lem, yuav tsum nyob hauv lub ntsiab lus ntawm qhov kev sim lus faj lem zaum kawg, vim qhov no yog lub sijhawm uas cov nkauj xwb muaj tswvyim thiab cov nkauj xwb ruam nyob. Lawv yuav tsum nkag siab “rau, rau, rau.” Lub siab uas muaj kev txawj ntse kuj yog Yauhas tau teeb chaw tseg rau hauv hnub kawg nyob hauv Tshwmsim tshooj kaum xya.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Revelation 17:9–11.
Thiab ntawm no yog lub siab uas muaj tswvyim. Xya lub taubhau yog xya lub roob, saum tej uas tus pojniam zaum. Thiab muaj xya tug vajntxwv: tsib tug twb poob lawm, ib tug tseem nyob, thiab tus tod tseem tsis tau los; hos thaum nws los lawm, nws yuav tsum nyob ib ntus luv xwb. Thiab tus tsiaj qus uas yav tas los muaj, tiamsis nim no tsis muaj lawm, nws kuj yog tus yim, thiab yog ib tug ntawm xya tus ntawd, thiab nws mus rau txoj kev puastsuaj. Tshwmsim 17:9–11.
The “mind” that has the wisdom to understand the number “six, six, six,” is a wise virgin who has obtained the “mind of Christ.”
“Lub siab” uas muaj txojkev txawj ntse kom to taub tus lej “rau, rau, rau,” yog ib tug nkauj xwb muaj tswvyim uas twb tau txais “lub siab ntawm Khetos.”
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.
Vim leejtwg thiaj paub tau tus Tswv lub siab, kom nws txawj qhia Nws? Tiamsis peb muaj Khetos lub siab. 1 Khaulee 2:16.
The class of wise virgins have the mind of Christ, and the foolish wicked virgins have the mind of Christ’s adversary.
Pawg ntawm cov ntxhais nkauj xwb uas txawj ntse muaj Khetos lub siab, thiab pawg ntawm cov ntxhais nkauj xwb ruam phem muaj tus yeeb ncuab ntawm Khetos lub siab.
“The time has come for the true light to shine amid moral darkness. The third angel’s message has been sent forth to the world, warning men against receiving the mark of the beast or of his image in their foreheads or in their hands. To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.
“Lub sijhawm twb los txog lawm rau qhov kaj tiag tiag ci ntsa iab nyob nruab nrab ntawm kev tsaus ntuj ntawm kev coj ncaj ncees. Txoj xov ntawm tus tim tswv thib peb tau raug xa tawm mus rau lub ntiajteb, ceeb toom tibneeg kom txhob txais lub cim ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum lossis ntawm nws tus mlom rau ntawm lawv lub hauv pliaj lossis rau hauv lawv txhais tes. Kev txais lub cim no txhais hais tias los txog rau tib txoj kev txiav txim uas tus tsiaj nyaum tau ua lawm, thiab txhawb nqa tib cov tswv yim ntawd, uas yog kev tawm tsam ncaj qha rau Vajtswv txoj lus.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.
The formation of the image of the beast is the final test for the virgins of the parable, and the wise have the mind of Christ, for they have come to the same decision as Christ, for they have submitted their wills unto the Holy Spirit’s direction. The formation of the image of Christ in the wise virgins contrasts with the formation of the image of the beast in the foolish virgins. The foolish virgins come to the same decision as the beast, for they became confused upon the test question concerning the correct identification of the antichrist, who is the counterfeit king of the north and the head of modern Rome.
Kev tsim tsa tus duab ntawm tus tsiaj qus yog qhov kev sim zaum kawg rau cov ntxhais nkauj xwb hauv zaj lus piv txwv, thiab cov ntse muaj Tswv Yexus Khetos lub siab, rau qhov lawv tau los txog rau tib qho kev txiav txim li Khetos, vim lawv tau tso lawv lub siab nyiam tseg rau txoj kev coj ntawm tus Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv. Kev tsim tus duab ntawm Khetos hauv cov ntxhais nkauj xwb ntse sawv sib piv nrog kev tsim tus duab ntawm tus tsiaj qus hauv cov ntxhais nkauj xwb ruam. Cov ntxhais nkauj xwb ruam los txog rau tib qho kev txiav txim li tus tsiaj qus, vim lawv tau poob rau hauv kev ntxhov siab thaum ntsib lo lus nug ntawm txoj kev sim uas hais txog kev txheeb kom raug tus antichrist, tus uas yog vaj ntxwv cuav ntawm sab qaum teb thiab yog lub taub hau ntawm Loos niaj hnub no.
“Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.
“Cov uas poob rau hauv kev ntxhov siab hauv lawv txoj kev to taub txog lo lus, cov uas tsis pom lub ntsiab ntawm antichrist, yuav muaj tseeb tso lawv tus kheej rau ntawm antichrist sab.” Kress Collection, 105.
The foolish virgins in the testing time that is represented as the formation of the image of the beast become confused in their understanding of the Word. Their confusion is premised upon misunderstanding God’s prophetic Word, and failing to see the correct meaning of Modern Rome, they receive strong delusion, come to the same decision as the beast, and advocate the same papal ideas in direct opposition to the Word of God, and place themselves on the side of antichrist.
Cov nkauj xwb ruam nyob rau lub sijhawm sim siab uas raug sawv cev ua kev tsim tsa tus duab ntawm tus tsiaj nyaum, raug ntxhov siab hauv lawv txoj kev to taub txog Txojlus. Lawv txoj kev ntxhov siab ntawd yog tsa rau saum kev tsis to taub Vajtswv Txojlus yaj saub, thiab vim lawv tsis pom lub ntsiab tseeb ntawm Loos Niaj Hnub No, lawv thiaj txais kev dag ntxias muaj hwjchim loj, los txog rau tib qho kev txiav txim siab ib yam li tus tsiaj nyaum, thiab txhawb nqa tib yam tswv yim papal ntawd hauv kev tawm tsam ncaj qha rau Vajtswv Txojlus, thiab muab lawv tus kheej tso rau sab ntawm tus antichrist.
