The sealing began on September 11, 2001 when the mighty angel of chapter eighteen of Revelation descended. His descent was typified by the descent of the angel of Revelation ten on August 11, 1840, and also by the descent of the Holy Spirit at Christ’s baptism. Christ’s baptism points forward to the latter rain descending when the great buildings of New York City were brought down. The power from above began, and also at that time the power from beneath (bottomless pit) would be manifested, for God’s Word never fails.

Sele a te kòmanse le 11 septanm 2001 lè zanj pwisan ki nan chapit dizwit liv Revelasyon an te desann. Desandans li te jwenn prefigirasyon pa desandans zanj Revelasyon dis la le 11 out 1840, epi tou pa desandans Sentespri a nan batèm Kris la. Batèm Kris la lonje dwèt sou lapli dènyè a ki t apral desann lè gwo bilding Vil Nouyòk yo te fè tonbe. Pouvwa ki soti anwo a te kòmanse, epi nan menm tan an pouvwa ki soti anba a (twou san fon an) t apral parèt tou, paske Pawòl Bondye a pa janm febli.

When Christ was baptized, He immediately went into the wilderness and fasted for forty days, after which He was tempted by Satan with three temptations. Each of those three temptations represent primary characteristics of each of the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon. Those three temptations were pride, a characteristic of the dragon; appetite, a characteristic of the beast, and presumption, a characteristic of the false prophet. Pride and self-exaltation are represented by Lucifer in the classic description of Isaiah.

Lè Kris te batize, li ale imedyatman nan dezè a epi li te fè jèn pandan karant jou; apre sa, Satan te tante Li avèk twa tantasyon. Chak nan twa tantasyon sa yo reprezante karakteristik prensipal chak nan twa puisans ki mennen lemonn nan Amagedòn. Twa tantasyon sa yo se te lògèy, yon karakteristik dragon an; apeti, yon karakteristik bèt la; ak prezonpsyon, yon karakteristik fo pwofèt la. Lògèy ak egzaltasyon pwòp tèt yo reprezante pa Lisifè nan deskripsyon klasik Ezayi a.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms. Isaiah 14:12–16.

Ala ou tonbe sot nan syèl la, o Lisifè, pitit gason granmaten an! Ala ou fin koupe jete atè, ou menm ki te fè nasyon yo vin fèb! Paske ou te di nan kè ou: M ap monte nan syèl la, m ap leve twòn mwen pi wo pase zetwal Bondye yo; m ap chita tou sou mòn asanble a, nan bò nò yo; m ap monte pi wo pase wotè nyaj yo; m ap vin tankou Sila ki anwo nan tout bagay la. Men yo pral desann ou jouk nan lanfè, nan fon twou san fon an. Moun ki va wè ou yo va fikse je yo sou ou byen sere, epi yo va konsidere ou, y ap di: Èske se nonm sa a ki te fè tè a tranble, ki te souke wayòm yo? Ezayi 14:12–16.

Five times Lucifer proclaims in his heart “I will.” Satan, once named the “light bearer” (Lucifer), who now only bears darkness, is he “that did shake the nations.” Prophetically he is associated with the “nations,” for he is the leader of the evil confederacy of the nations, and the confederacy of merchants identified in Revelation chapters seventeen and eighteen.

Senk fwa Lisifè pwoklame nan kè li: “M ap fè sa.” Satan, yo te rele yon fwa “pòtfla limyè a” (Lisifè), li menm ki kounye a sèlman pote tenèb, se li menm “ki te fè nasyon yo tranble.” Nan sans pwofetik, li asosye ak “nasyon yo,” paske li se chèf move konfederasyon nasyon yo, ansanm ak konfederasyon machann yo ki idantifye nan Revelasyon chapit disèt ak dizwit.

“Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon themselves the brand of antichrist, and are represented as the dragon who goes to make war with the saints—with those who keep the commandments of God and who have the faith of Jesus.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

«Wa, chèf ak gouvènè yo mete sou tèt pa yo mak antikris la, epi yo reprezante kòm dragon an k ap al fè lagè ak sen yo—ak sila yo ki kenbe kòmandman Bondye yo e ki gen lafwa Jezi a.» Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

At Christ’s baptism the Holy Spirit descended, typifying post-September 11, 2001. After His baptism Satan tempted Christ with the offer to give Christ the power Satan uses to rule the kingdoms of the world, for at the fall of Adam, Satan had become the ruler of the kingdoms of the world.

Nan batèm Kris la, Sentespri a te desann, sa ki te tipifye peryòd apre 11 septanm 2001. Apre batèm Li a, Satan te tante Kris ak òf pou l bay Kris la pouvwa Satan sèvi avè l pou l dirije wayòm mond lan, paske nan tonbe Adan an, Satan te vin chèf wayòm mond lan.

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:5–8.

Epi dyab la, li mennen li sou yon gwo mòn byen wo, epi li montre li tout wayòm latè yo nan yon sèl moman. Epi dyab la di li: M ap ba ou tout pouvwa sa a ansanm ak glwa yo; paske yo remèt yo nan men mwen, e mwen bay yo a nenpòt moun mwen vle. Si ou menm, donk, ou adore mwen, tout bagay sa yo va pou ou. Men Jezi reponn li, li di: Retire kò ou dèyè mwen, Satan; paske sa ekri: Se Senyè a, Bondye ou la, ou va adore, e se li menm sèl ou va sèvi. Lik 4:5–8.

Two primary characteristics of papal Rome (the beast), is her fornication and the poisoned “food” and drink she distributes.

De karakteristik prensipal Wòm papal la (bèt la), se fònikasyon pa li ak “manje” ak bwason anpwazonnen li distribye yo.

Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:14.

Men, mwen gen kèk bagay kont ou, paske ou pèmèt fanm sa a, Jezabèl, ki rele tèt li pwofètès, anseye epi sedui sèvitè m yo pou yo fè fònikasyon epi manje bagay yo ofri bay zidòl. Revelasyon 2:14.

The “food” and drink she provides is her false doctrines.

“Manje” ak bwason li bay yo se fo doktrin pa li yo.

“The great sin charged against Babylon is that she ‘made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ This cup of intoxication which she presents to the world represents the false doctrines that she has accepted as the result of her unlawful connection with the great ones of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 388.

“Gwo peche yo akize Babilòn lan se ke li ‘fè tout nasyon yo bwè diven kòlè fònikasyon li a.’ Tas entoksikasyon sa a li prezante bay mond lan reprezante fo doktrin li te aksepte kòm rezilta koneksyon ilegal li avèk gran moun yo sou latè a.” The Great Controversy, 388.

The beast of Catholicism also deceives the world by her sorceries, which is once again something that is taken internally.

Bèt Katolik la tou twonpe mond lan pa maji li yo, sa ki, yon lòt fwa ankò, se yon bagay yo pran anndan.

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Revelation 18:23.

Epi limyè chandèl la p ap klere ankò ditou nan ou; epi vwa Veterinè marye a ak vwa lamarye a p ap tande ankò ditou nan ou; paske machann ou yo te gran chèf sou latè a; paske se pa maji ou yo tout nasyon yo te twonpe. Revelasyon 18:23.

The Greek word translated as “sorceries,” is pharmakeia, meaning medications. The golden cup in her hand, represents not only a cup to drink wine from, but also the cup where her magical medical potions are prepared and delivered. In the modern world today, those magical potions are delivered in needles, not so much in a cup. When Satan appears after the soon-coming Sunday law, he will perform miracles of healing. The miracles associated with the potions and false doctrines of the papacy, was represented by Satan telling Christ to perform a miracle in turning the stone into bread.

Mo grèk yo tradui kòm “sòsri”, se *pharmakeia*, ki vle di medikaman. Koup an lò ki nan men li a reprezante pa sèlman yon koup pou bwè diven ladan l, men tou koup kote posyon medikal majik li yo prepare epi administre. Nan monn modèn jodi a, posyon majik sa yo administre pa zegwi, pa tèlman nan yon koup. Lè Satan parèt apre lwa dimanch ki pral vini byento a, li pral fè mirak gerizon. Mirak ki asosye ak posyon yo ak fo doktrin papote a, te reprezante pa Satan ki t ap di Kris la pou l fè yon mirak lè l t ap tounen wòch la an pen.

The prophetic history before and after the Sunday law possesses the same characteristics. The image of the beast testing period for Adventism leading to the Sunday law in the United States typifies the image of the beast testing period for the entire world. This is why we are informed that, “the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.”

Istwa pwofetik la, anvan ak apre lwa dimanch lan, genyen menm karakteristik yo. Peryòd eprèv imaj bèt la pou Advantis la, ki mennen rive nan lwa dimanch lan Ozetazini, se yon tip peryòd eprèv imaj bèt la pou lemonn antye. Se poutèt sa yo fè nou konnen ke, “menm kriz la pral tonbe sou pèp nou an nan tout pati nan lemonn.”

The miracles of satanic healings that are accomplished by Satan after the Sunday law, represent the “sorceries” of so-called medicine that are pawned off during the history beginning on September 11, 2001. Jesus stated that, “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Rome’s “food” is traditions and customs which she places above the Word of God.

Mirak gerizon satanik Satan ap akonpli apre lwa dimanch lan, reprezante “majik” sa yo rele medikaman yo, yo vann bay moun pandan istwa ki kòmanse 11 septanm 2001. Jezi te deklare: “moun p ap viv ak pen sèlman, men ak tout pawòl Bondye.” “Manje” Wòm nan se tradisyon ak koutim li mete pi wo pase Pawòl Bondye a.

“In the movements now in progress in the United States to secure for the institutions and usages of the church the support of the state, Protestants are following in the steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World. And that which gives greater significance to this movement is the fact that the principal object contemplated is the enforcement of Sunday observance—a custom which originated with Rome, and which she claims as the sign of her authority. It is the spirit of the papacy—the spirit of conformity to worldly customs, the veneration for human traditions above the commandments of God—that is permeating the Protestant churches and leading them on to do the same work of Sunday exaltation which the papacy has done before them.” The Great Controversy, 573.

“Nan mouvman k ap fèt kounye a Ozetazini pou asire sipò Leta pou enstitisyon ak pratik legliz la, Pwotestan yo ap mache sou tras papis yo. Plis ankò, yo ap louvri pòt la pou papote a reprann nan Amerik pwotestan an sipremasi li te pèdi nan ansyen monn nan. E sa ki bay mouvman sa a plis enpòtans toujou, se lefètke objektif prensipal yo genyen an se fòse moun obsève dimanch—yon koutim ki soti nan Wòm, e li menm li reklame kòm siy otorite pa li. Se lespri papote a—lespri konfòmite ak koutim monn lan, adorasyon tradisyon lèzòm pi wo pase kòmandman Bondye yo—k ap anvayi legliz pwotestan yo epi k ap mennen yo fè menm travay egzaltasyon dimanch lan papote a te fè anvan yo.” The Great Controversy, 573.

Tradition and custom are the doctrinal “food” which the beast replaces for the Word of God, in order that it might lift up its pagan idolatry.

Tradisyon ak koutim se “manje” doktrinè bèt la mete anplas Pawòl Bondye a, pou l ka leve idolatri payen li a.

“How the Roman Church can clear herself from the charge of idolatry we cannot see. True, she professes to worship God through these images; so did the Israelites when they bowed before the golden calf. But the Lord’s wrath was kindled against them, and many were slain. God pronounced them impious idolaters, and the same record is made today in the books of heaven against those who adore images of saints and so-called holy men.

“Ki jan Legliz women an ta kapab debarase tèt li anba akizasyon adorasyon zidòl la, nou pa kapab wè sa. Se vre, li fè konnen li adore Bondye atravè imaj sa yo; se konsa Izrayelit yo tou te fè lè yo te bese tèt devan ti towo bèf an lò a. Men, kòlè Senyè a te limen kont yo, e anpil ladan yo te touye. Bondye te deklare yo se te adoratè zidòl enpi, e menm dosye sa a ap ekri jodi a nan liv syèl la kont moun ki adore imaj sen yo ak sa yo rele moun sen.”

“And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a change in Catholicism; for Rome never changes. She claims infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of Catholicism. ‘The Bible, the Bible, is the foundation of our faith,’ was the cry of Protestants in Luther’s time, while the Catholics cried, ‘The Fathers, custom, tradition.’ Now many Protestants find it difficult to prove their doctrines from the Bible, and yet they have not the moral courage to accept the truth which involves a cross; therefore they are fast coming to the ground of Catholics, and, using the best arguments they have to evade the truth, cite the testimony of the Fathers, and the customs and precepts of men. Yes, the Protestants of the nineteenth century are fast approaching the Catholics in their infidelity concerning the Scriptures. But there is just as wide a gulf today between Rome and the Protestantism of Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and the noble army of martyrs, as there was when these men made the protest which gave them the name of Protestants.

“Epi se relijyon sa a Pwotestan yo ap kòmanse gade avèk anpil favè, e ki finalman pral ini ak Pwotestantis. Men, inyon sa a pap fèt pa yon chanjman nan Katolisism; paske Wòm pa janm chanje. Li reklame enfayibilite. Se Pwotestantis k ap chanje. Adopsyon ide liberal bò pa li pral mennen li kote li ka bay Katolisism lanmen. ‘Labib la, Labib la, se fondasyon lafwa nou,’ se te rèl Pwotestan yo nan tan Lityè a, tandiske Katolik yo t ap rele, ‘Papa Legliz yo, koutim, tradisyon.’ Kounye a anpil Pwotestan twouve li difisil pou pwouve doktrin yo soti nan Labib; epoutan yo pa gen kouraj moral pou aksepte verite ki enplike yon kwa; se poutèt sa y ap vin byen vit pran menm pozisyon ak Katolik yo, epi, pandan y ap sèvi ak pi bon agiman yo genyen pou evite verite a, yo site temwayaj Papa Legliz yo, ansanm ak koutim ak preskripsyon lèzòm. Wi, Pwotestan diznevyèm syèk la ap pwoche byen vit bò kote Katolik yo nan enfidelite yo konsènan Ekriti yo. Men, jodi a toujou gen yon abim menm jan laj ant Wòm ak Pwotestantis Lityè, Kranmè, Ridley, Hooper, ak nòb lame matir yo, menm jan sa te ye lè mesye sa yo te fè pwotestasyon ki te ba yo non Pwotestan yo.”

“Christ was a protestant. He protested against the formal worship of the Jewish nation, who rejected the counsel of God against themselves. He told them that they taught for doctrines the commandments of men, and that they were pretenders and hypocrites. Like whited sepulchers they were beautiful without, but within full of impurity and corruption. The Reformers date back to Christ and the apostles. They came out and separated themselves from a religion of forms and ceremonies. Luther and his followers did not invent the reformed religion. They simply accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles. The Bible is presented to us as a sufficient guide; but the pope and his workers remove it from the people as if it were a curse, because it exposes their pretensions and rebukes their idolatry.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.

“Kris te yon pwotestan. Li te pwoteste kont adorasyon fòmèl nasyon jwif la, ki te rejte konsèy Bondye kont pwòp tèt yo. Li te di yo yo t ap anseye kòm doktrin kòmandman lèzòm, e ke yo te pretandan ak ipokrit. Menm jan ak tonm blanchi yo, yo te bèl deyò, men andedan yo te plen ak salte ak koripsyon. Refòmatè yo remonte rive jiska Kris ak apot yo. Yo te soti deyò epi yo te separe tèt yo ak yon relijyon ki te chita sou fòm ak seremoni. Lityè ak disip li yo pa t envante relijyon refòme a. Yo te senpleman aksepte li jan Kris ak apot yo te prezante li a. Bib la prezante devan nou kòm yon gid ase; men pap la ak travayè li yo wete li nan men pèp la tankou si se te yon madichon, paske li demaske pretansyon yo epi li repwoche idolatri yo.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.

Miracles of healing, that form the basis of spiritualism, are her stock and trade.

Mirak gerizon, ki fòme baz espirityalis la, se machandiz li ak mwayen komès li.

“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.

“Anpil moun ap chèche esplike manifestasyon espirityèl yo lè yo atribye yo nèt ale a fwod ak jwèt men sou bò medyòm nan. Men, pandan sa se vre ke rezilta twonpri yo souvan te fè pase pou vrè manifestasyon, te gen tou demonstrasyon klè pouvwa sipènatirèl. Frappman misterye ak ki espirityalis modèn nan te kòmanse a pa t rezilta twonpri oswa riz imen, men li te travay dirèk zanj mechan yo, ki konsa te entwodui youn nan delizyon ki gen plis siksè pou detwi nanm yo. Anpil moun pral pran nan pyèj la poutèt kwayans ke espirityalis la se sèlman yon enposti imen; lè yo va jwenn tèt yo fas a fas ak manifestasyon yo pa ka pa konsidere kòm sipènatirèl, y ap twonpe yo, epi y ap mennen yo pou yo aksepte yo kòm gwo pouvwa Bondye a.

“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.

“Moun sa yo neglije temwayaj Ekriti yo konsènan mèvèy Satan ak ajan li yo fè. Se avèk èd satanik majisyen Farawon yo te kapab kontrefè travay Bondye a. Pòl temwaye ke, anvan dezyèm avènman Kris la, pral gen manifestasyon menm jan an nan pouvwa satanik. Avènman Seyè a dwe vini apre sa ki va fèt pa ‘aktivite Satan an avèk tout pouvwa, ak siy, ak mèvèy mansonjè, ansanm ak tout sediksyon enjistis.’ 2 Thessaloniciens 2:9,10. E apot Jan, pandan li ap dekri pouvwa k ap fè mirak ki pral manifeste nan dènye jou yo, deklare: ‘Li fè gwo mèvèy, jiska fè dife desann soti nan syèl la sou tè a devan je lèzòm, epi li twonpe moun ki rete sou tè a pa mwayen mirak sa yo li te gen pouvwa fè.’ Apocalypse 13:13, 14. Se pa senp enposti yo anonse isit la. Se pa mirak ajan Satan yo pretann fè yo ki twonpe moun, men se mirak yo gen pouvwa fè vre yo.” The Great Controversy, 553.

The false doctrines built upon customs and traditions, the spiritualistic manifestations of miracles, the counterfeit medical-industrial industry and the combination of churchcraft with statecraft are all the attributes of the beast of Catholicism. Pride is a characteristic of the dragon power. Presumption is the characteristic of the false prophet of apostate Protestantism.

Fòs doktrin ki bati sou koutim ak tradisyon, manifestasyon mirak espirityalis yo, fo endistri medikal-endistriyèl la, ansanm ak konbinezon zafè legliz ak zafè leta, se tout atribi bèt Katolis la. Ògèy se yon karakteristik pouvwa dragon an. Prezonpsyon se karakteristik fo pwofèt Pwotestantis aposta a.

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:1–4.

Jezi, plen ak Sentespri a, tounen sot bò larivyè Jouden, epi Lespri a mennen li nan dezè a, kote pandan karant jou dyab la t ap tante li. Nan jou sa yo li pa t manje anyen; epi lè yo te fini, apre sa li te grangou. Dyab la di li: Si ou se Pitit Bondye a, bay lòd pou wòch sa a tounen pen. Jezi reponn li, li di: Sa ekri: Moun pa viv ak pen sèlman, men ak tout pawòl Bondye. Lik 4:1–4.

Presumption is a noun that refers to the act or instance of assuming something to be true without sufficient evidence or proof. It involves making a judgment or drawing a conclusion based on incomplete or insufficient information. Presumption can also imply a certain level of confidence in one’s assumption, even when it may not be entirely justified.

Presumption se yon non ki refere a aksyon oswa ka kote yon moun sipoze yon bagay kòm vre san prèv oswa evidans ase. Li enplike fè yon jijman oswa tire yon konklizyon sou baz enfòmasyon ki pa konplè oswa ki pa sifi. Presumption ka vle di tou yon sèten degre konfyans nan sa yon moun sipoze a, menm lè sa ka pa totalman jistifye.

Apostate Protestantism has accepted Sunday as God’s day of worship without any evidence to support that flawed idea from God’s Word, and they do so while knowingly professing that they are Protestants, whose motto is “God’s word alone,” or as Martin Luther proclaimed, “Sola Scriptura!” They choose to accept it based upon the traditions and customs of the Roman church, or perhaps as simply an accepted inheritance from their forefathers. At the loud cry of the third angel the truth that there is absolutely no justification for worshipping the sun that can be provided from the Bible will be clearly revealed, and then those who continue in their flawed presumption will receive the mark of the beast.

Pwotestan aposta yo te aksepte dimanch kòm jou adorasyon Bondye san okenn prèv ki soti nan Pawòl Bondye a pou soutni lide defektye sa a, epi yo fè sa pandan y ap deklare avèk konesans yo se Pwotestan, ki gen deviz yo se “Pawòl Bondye sèlman,” oswa jan Martin Luther te pwoklame li: “Sola Scriptura!” Yo chwazi aksepte sa sou baz tradisyon ak koutim legliz Wòm nan, oswa petèt senpleman kòm yon eritaj yo resevwa nan men zansèt yo. Lè gwo rèl twazyèm zanj lan va retanti, verite ki fè konnen pa gen absoliman okenn jistifikasyon nan Bib la pou adore solèy la ap revele klèman, epi lè sa a, moun ki pèsiste nan sipozisyon defektye yo a va resevwa mak bèt la.

“If the light of truth has been presented to you, revealing the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and showing that there is no foundation in the Word of God for Sunday observance, and yet you still cling to the false sabbath, refusing to keep holy the Sabbath which God calls ‘my holy day,’ you receive the mark of the beast. When does this take place?—When you obey the decree that commands you to cease from labor on Sunday and worship God, while you know that there is not a word in the Bible showing Sunday to be other than a common working-day, you consent to receive the mark of the beast, and refuse the seal of God. If we receive this mark in our foreheads or in our hands, the judgments pronounced against the disobedient must fall upon us. But the seal of the living God is placed upon those who conscientiously keep the Sabbath of the Lord.” Review and Herald, April 27, 1911.

“Si la lumière de la vérité vous a été présentée, révélant le sabbat du quatrième commandement, et montrant qu’il n’existe aucun fondement dans la Parole de Dieu pour l’observance du dimanche, et que pourtant vous vous attachiez encore au faux sabbat, refusant de sanctifier le sabbat que Dieu appelle « mon saint jour », vous recevez la marque de la bête. Quand cela a-t-il lieu ? — Lorsque vous obéissez au décret qui vous ordonne de cesser le travail le dimanche et d’adorer Dieu, alors que vous savez qu’il n’y a pas un mot dans la Bible montrant que le dimanche soit autre chose qu’un jour ouvrable ordinaire, vous consentez à recevoir la marque de la bête, et vous refusez le sceau de Dieu. Si nous recevons cette marque sur nos fronts ou dans nos mains, les jugements prononcés contre les désobéissants doivent tomber sur nous. Mais le sceau du Dieu vivant est placé sur ceux qui gardent consciencieusement le sabbat du Seigneur.” Review and Herald, 27 avril 1911.

The commonly understood weakness of the Republican party is their willingness to assume their political opponents are fair and honest, when the fruits of the Democratic party clearly reveal that they are the children of the father of lies. Repeatedly and consistently the Republicans take their political opponents at their word, when they have been shown over and over that their opponents never keep their word. They project honest motivations upon those who repeatedly have manifested no rational justification to support the Republicans flawed projections of expected honesty and integrity. It is true also that many Republicans refuse to uphold principle for personal financial gain, or because of secret immoral circumstances that allow them to be easily manipulated, but the primary prophetic attribute of the Republican party is presumption.

Feblès yo konprann pi souvan kòm karakteristik Pati Repibliken an se volonte yo genyen pou yo sipoze advèsè politik yo jis e onèt, alòske fwi Pati Demokrat la montre aklè yo se pitit papa manti a. Repete, avèk regilarite, Repibliken yo pran advèsè politik yo dapre pawòl yo, alòske yo te montre yo ankò e ankò ke advèsè yo pa janm kenbe pawòl yo. Yo atribye motivasyon onèt a moun ki, repete, pa janm manifeste okenn jistifikasyon rasyonèl ki ta soutni pwojeksyon defektye Repibliken yo sou onètete ak entegrite yo t ap tann nan men yo. Se vre tou ke anpil Repibliken refize soutni prensip poutèt avantaj finansye pèsonèl, oswa poutèt sikonstans imoral sekrè ki fè yo fasil pou manipile; men atribi prensipal pwofetik Pati Repibliken an se prezonpsyon.

It is the attribute of presumption which is prophetically marked in apostate Protestants, that allows them to pretend they have taken the higher moral and political ground, when in reality they have abdicated their civil responsibilities under the empty expectation that their political opponents will keep their word. The very common definition of insanity is to try and do the same thing over and over, while expecting a different outcome, yet the Republicans argue that it is the Democrats that have been infected with insanity as manifested in their hatred of Trump.

Se atribi prezonpsyon an ki make pwotestan apostat yo pwofetikman, ki pèmèt yo pran pòz kòmkwa yo te pran pozisyon moral ak politik ki pi wo a, pandan an reyalite yo te abdike responsablite sivil yo anba atant vid ke advèsè politik yo pral kenbe pawòl yo. Definisyon foli ki trè komen an se eseye fè menm bagay la repete san rete pandan w ap tann yon rezilta diferan; poutan, Repibliken yo soutni se Demokrat yo menm ki enfekte ak foli, jan sa parèt nan rayisman yo genyen pou Trump.

Yet the insanity of the Republicans is repeatedly illustrated as they agree to compromises, under the premise of compromise being the work of the legislative process, while their political compromises, which they claim are based upon the principle of “the legislative process,” is made with a class who never compromise. Democrats only give ground in the political process when they are fully restrained by the numbers against them. They have never provided evidence of truly working for a middle ground with the political process. The insanity of Republicans is their repeated optimistic expectations of others that are fully unwarranted.

Sepandan, foli Repibliken yo ilistre ankò e ankò lè yo dakò ak konpwomi, anba pretèks ke konpwomi se travay pwosesis lejislatif la, tandiske konpwomi politik pa yo, ke yo pretann baze sou prensip “pwosesis lejislatif la,” fèt ak yon klas moun ki pa janm fè konpwomi. Demokrat yo sèlman bay teren nan pwosesis politik la lè kantite moun ki kont yo mete yo nèt sou kontwòl. Yo pa janm bay prèv ke yo vrèman ap travay pou yon tèren mitan nan pwosesis politik la. Foli Repibliken yo se atant optimis yo repete genyen anvè lòt moun, atant ki pa gen okenn baz ditou.

By far and away the majority of those who are supportive of Donald Trump will testify to the fact that the worst attribute of Trump is his willingness to accept men as supporters of his agenda, when the available evidence identifies that it was totally presumption on Trump’s part to make that choice. Presumption is the prophetic attribute of apostate Protestantism. Satan tempted Christ by quoting the Bible, but in so doing, Satan twisted the passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.

Pifò ladan yo, san okenn dout, ki sipòte Donald Trump, va rann temwayaj sou lefèt ke pi move karakteristik Trump se volonte li genyen pou l aksepte moun kòm sipòtè pwogram li a, alòske prèv ki disponib yo montre se te nèt ale yon prezonpsyon bò kote Trump pou l te fè chwa sa a. Prezompsyon se atribi pwofetik pwotestantis apostazi a. Satan te tante Kris la lè li te site Bib la, men lè li te fè sa, Satan te tòde pasaj la pou l te fè l tounen yon eprèv san fondman e ki pa t dapre Ekriti yo.

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Luke 4:9–12.

Apre sa, li mennen li lavil Jerizalèm, li mete li sou tèt tanp lan, epi li di li: Si ou se Pitit Bondye a, lage kò ou desann soti isit la; paske sa ekri: Li va bay zanj li yo lòd konsènan ou, pou yo veye sou ou; e yo va pote ou nan men yo, pou pye ou pa frape sou okenn wòch. E Jezi, pandan li t ap reponn li, di li: Sa di: Ou pa dwe tante Senyè a, Bondye ou. Lik 4:9–12.

At the soon-coming Sunday law it will be the Protestants of the United States who will take the biblical mandate to cease from labor on the Sabbath day, and twist the commandment to worship God on the seventh-day Sabbath into a fabricated command that it is actually paganism’s day of the sun that men are required to worship upon. They will twist a biblical passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.

Lè lwa dimanch k ap vini talè a va antre an vigè, se Pwotestan Etazini yo ki va pran manda biblik la pou sispann travay jou Saba a, epi yo va tòde kòmandman an ki mande pou adore Bondye sou Saba setyèm jou a pou fè l tounen yon kòmandman fabrike ki di se sou jou solèy la, ki se jou paganism lan, moun oblije adore. Yo va tòde yon pasaj biblik pou fè l tounen yon tès san fondman e ki pa ann ak Ekriti yo.

We will continue this study in the next article.

N ap kontinye etid sa a nan pwochen atik la.

“I saw that the two-horned beast had a dragon’s mouth, and that his power was in his head, and that the decree would go out of his mouth. Then I saw the Mother of Harlots; that the mother was not the daughters, but separate and distinct from them. She has had her day, and it is past, and her daughters, the Protestant sects, were the next to come on the stage and act out the same mind that the mother had when she persecuted the saints. I saw that as the mother has been declining in power, the daughters had been growing, and soon they will exercise the power once exercised by the mother.

“Mwen te wè bèt ki gen de kòn nan te gen yon bouch dragon, e pouvwa li te nan tèt li, e dekrè a t ap soti nan bouch li. Apre sa, mwen te wè Manman Pwostitiye yo; manman an pa t pitit fi yo, men li te apa e diferan de yo. Li te gen tan pa li, e tan sa a pase; epi pitit fi li yo, sèk pwotestan yo, te pwochen pou yo monte sou sèn nan epi aji avèk menm lespri manman an te genyen lè li t ap pèsekite sen yo. Mwen te wè ke, menm jan manman an t ap pèdi pouvwa li, pitit fi yo t ap grandi; e talè konsa yo pral egzèse pouvwa manman an te egzèse yon fwa.”

“I saw the nominal church and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to obtain their influence to come against the truth. The saints then will be an obscure people, little known to the Catholics; but the churches and nominal Adventists who know of our faith and customs (for they hated us on account of the Sabbath, for they could not refute it) will betray the saints and report them to the Catholics as those who disregard the institutions of the people; that is, that they keep the Sabbath and disregard Sunday.

“Mwen te wè legliz nominal la ak Advantis nominal yo, menm jan ak Jida, t ap trayi nou bay Katolik yo pou yo jwenn enfliyans yo pou yo vini kont verite a. Lè sa a, sen yo va yon pèp ki pa parèt anpil, yo pa twò konnen pa Katolik yo; men legliz yo ak Advantis nominal yo ki konnen lafwa nou ak koutim nou yo (paske yo te rayi nou poutèt Saba a, paske yo pa t kapab demanti li) va trayi sen yo epi va denonse yo bay Katolik yo kòm moun ki meprize enstitisyon pèp la; sa vle di, yo kenbe Saba a epi yo meprize dimanch.

“Then the Catholics bid the Protestants to go forward, and issue a decree that all who will not observe the first day of the week, instead of the seventh day, shall be slain. And the Catholics, whose numbers are large, will stand by the Protestants. The Catholics will give their power to the image of the beast. And the Protestants will work as their mother worked before them to destroy the saints. But before their decree bring or bear fruit, the saints will be delivered by the Voice of God.” Spalding and Magan, 1, 2.

“Lè sa a, Katolik yo pral mande Pwotestan yo avanse, epi yo pral pibliye yon dekrè ki di tout moun ki pa vle obsève premye jou semèn nan, olye setyèm jou a, yo dwe touye yo. Epi Katolik yo, ki gen anpil moun, pral kanpe bò kote Pwotestan yo. Katolik yo pral bay imaj bèt la pouvwa pa yo. Epi Pwotestan yo pral travay menm jan manman yo te travay anvan yo pou detwi sen yo. Men, anvan dekrè yo a pote oswa pwodui fwi, sen yo pral delivre pa Vwa Bondye.” Spalding and Magan, 1, 2.
