It has been established upon several witnesses that in history and in prophecy Rome always comes up eighth and is of the seven. The prophetic riddle of this symbol is part of what the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals just before the close of probation. Christ never changes, and in the First and Great Disappointments of Millerite history, He revealed a truth which explained the mystery of the disappointment.
Sa te etabli sou temwayaj plizyè temwen ke, nan listwa ak nan pwofesi, Wòm toujou leve kòm wityèm lan epi li soti nan sèt yo. Enigm pwofetik senbòl sa a fè pati sa Lyon branch fanmi Jida a devwale jis anvan fen tan gras la. Kris pa janm chanje, e nan Premye ak Gran Dezapwentman yo nan listwa Millerit la, Li te revele yon verite ki te eksplike mistè dezapwentman an.
After the First Disappointment in Millerite history, He removed His hand from a mistake in some of the figures represented upon the 1843 chart. The mistake represented the prophetic misunderstanding that produced the Disappointment. The Millerites were ultimately led to a series of understandings, which firmly established the starting date of the twenty-three hundred days. With a firm starting point, that was primarily based upon the date of the cross, they then saw the same prophetic evidence that they had been employing to identify 1843, actually identified not only 1844, but the very day of October 22, 1844.
Apre Premye Desepsyon an nan istwa Millerit la, Li te retire men Li sou yon erè nan kèk nan chif yo ki te reprezante sou tablo 1843 la. Erè a te reprezante move konpreyansyon pwofetik ki te lakòz Desepsyon an. Finalman, Millerit yo te mennen nan yon seri konpreyansyon ki te tabli avèk fèmte dat depa de mil twasan jou yo. Avèk yon pwen depa ki te byen tabli, ki te sitou baze sou dat kwa a, yo te wè lè sa a menm prèv pwofetik yo te konn sèvi avè yo pou idantifye 1843 la, an reyalite te idantifye non sèlman 1844, men jou menm 22 oktòb 1844 la.
After the second and Great Disappointment, the Lord once again revealed a truth which answered all the prophetic dilemmas created by their incorrect proclamation that October 22, 1844 was the Second Coming of Christ. The Lord opened the subject of the Sanctuary, and its connected truths, and the Great Disappointment was explained.
Apre dezyèm nan e Gran Desepsyon an, Seyè a yon lòt fwa ankò te revele yon verite ki te reponn tout dilèm pwofetik yo ki te kreye pa pwoklamasyon pa yo ki pa t kòrèk la, selon ki 22 oktòb 1844 se te Dezyèm Vini Kris la. Seyè a te louvri sijè Tanp lan, ansanm ak verite ki lye avè l yo, epi Gran Desepsyon an te eksplike.
“As a people, we should be earnest students of prophecy; we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in 1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there performing the closing work of his priestly office, in fulfillment of the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’
“Kòm yon pèp, nou ta dwe etidyan pwofesi ki serye; nou pa ta dwe repoze jiskaske nou vin gen bon konprann konsènan sijè tanp lan, jan sa parèt nan vizyon Danyèl ak Jan yo. Sijè sa a voye yon gwo limyè sou pozisyon ak travay pa nou kounye a, epi li ban nou prèv san mank ke Bondye te dirije nou nan eksperyans nou te fè nan tan pase a. Li esplike desepsyon nou an nan ane 1844 la, lè li montre nou ke tanp ki te dwe pirifye a pa t tè a, jan nou te sipoze a, men se ke Kris la te antre lè sa a nan kote ki pi sen an nan tanp selès la, e li la ap akonpli travay final fonksyon prèt li a, an akonplisman pawòl zanj lan te di pwofèt Danyèl la: ‘Jiska de mil twa san jou; lè sa a tanp lan va pirifye.’”
“Our faith in reference to the messages of the first, second, and third angels was correct. The great way-marks we have passed are immovable. Although the hosts of hell may try to tear them from their foundation, and triumph in the thought that they have succeeded, yet they do not succeed. These pillars of truth stand firm as the eternal hills, unmoved by all the efforts of men combined with those of Satan and his host. We can learn much, and should be constantly searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so. God’s people are now to have their eyes fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going forward,—where he is interceding for his people.” Review and Herald, November 27, 1883.
“Lafwa nou konsènan mesaj premye, dezyèm, ak twazyèm zanj yo te kòrèk. Gran repè nou deja franchi yo pa ka brannen. Menmsi lame lanfè yo ta chèche rache yo sou fondasyon yo, epi rejwi nan panse ke yo reyisi, poutan yo pa reyisi. Poto verite sa yo rete fèm tankou ti mòn etènèl yo, san yo pa brannen devan tout efò lèzòm mete ansanm ak sa Satan ak lame pa l la. Nou kapab aprann anpil, e nou dwe toujou ap fouye Ekriti yo pou wè si bagay sa yo vrèman konsa. Pèp Bondye a dwe kounye a kenbe je yo fikse sou tanp sakre ki nan syèl la, kote dènye sèvis gran Prèt nou an ap kontinye nan travay jijman an,—kote li ap fè entèsesyon pou pèp li a.” Review and Herald, 27 novanm 1883.
The disappointment of the disciples at the crucifixion was based upon an incorrect understanding of the kingdom which Christ was to establish at the cross. John the Baptist and the apostle Paul’s ministries included the work of identifying that the dispensation of literal Israel and the literal earthly sanctuary had transitioned unto spiritual Israel and the spiritual heavenly sanctuary. The Lion of the tribe of Judah always explains the disappointment to the “wise.” The explanation of the prophetic riddle of Rome being “the eighth, but is of the seven”, is part of the work the Lion of Judah is accomplishing to explain the disappointment of July 18, 2020.
Dezas kominote disip yo te santi lè yo te wè Kris la kloure sou kwa a te baze sou yon move konpreyansyon konsènan wayòm Kris la te dwe tabli sou kwa a. Ministè Jan Batis la ansanm ak ministè apot Pòl la te gen ladan travay pou idantifye ke dispansasyon Izrayèl literal la ak Tanp tèren literal la te pase vin tounen Izrayèl espirityèl ak Tanp selès espirityèl la. Lyon tribi Jida a toujou esplike desepsyon an bay “saj” yo. Eksplikasyon devinèt pwofetik la konsènan Wòm ki se “wityèm lan, men li soti nan sèt yo”, se yon pati nan travay Lyon Jida a ap akonpli pou esplike desepsyon 18 Jiyè 2020 la.
The Millerites saw Rome as the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and they saw the distinction between paganism and papalism, but could not see papal Rome as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Shortly after 1844, the pioneers saw that the United States was the next kingdom of Bible prophecy.
Millerites yo te wè Wòm kòm katriyèm wayòm pwofesi biblik la, e yo te wè diferans ki genyen ant paganism ak papalism, men yo pa t kapab wè Wòm papal kòm senkyèm wayòm pwofesi biblik la. Yon ti tan apre 1844, pyonye yo te wè Etazini kòm pwochen wayòm pwofesi biblik la.
That recognition is represented upon the 1850 pioneer chart, but their ability to recognize the full illustration of the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, as represented in Revelation chapter seventeen, was beyond their ability to comprehend, for they began to wander in the wilderness of Laodicea after their rejection of the “seven times” in 1863.
Rekonèsans sa a reprezante sou tablo pyonye 1850 la, men kapasite yo pou rekonèt ilistrasyon konplè wayòm yo nan pwofesi biblik la, jan sa reprezante nan Revelasyon chapit disèt, te depase kapasite konpreyansyon yo, paske yo te kòmanse ap mache pèdi nan dezè Laodise apre rejè yo te fè “sèt tan” yo an 1863.
“The history of ancient Israel is a striking illustration of the past experience of the Adventist body. God led His people in the advent movement, even as He led the children of Israel from Egypt. In the great disappointment their faith was tested as was that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea. Had they still trusted to the guiding hand that had been with them in their past experience, they would have seen the salvation of God. If all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts. A flood of light would have been shed upon the world. Years ago the inhabitants of the earth would have been warned, the closing work completed, and Christ would have come for the redemption of His people.
“Istwa ansyen Izrayèl la se yon ilistrasyon frapan de eksperyans pase kò adventis la. Bondye te dirije pèp Li a nan mouvman advent la, menm jan Li te dirije pitit Izrayèl yo soti nan Lejip. Nan gwo desepsyon an, lafwa yo te sibi eprèv menm jan ak sa Ebre yo te sibi bò Lanmè Wouj la. Si yo te kontinye mete konfyans yo nan men gidans lan ki te avèk yo nan eksperyans pase yo, yo t ap wè delivrans Bondye a. Si tout moun ki te travay ansanm nan zèv la an 1844 te resevwa mesaj twazyèm zanj lan epi yo te pwoklame li nan pisans Sentespri a, Senyè a t ap aji avèk anpil puisans ansanm ak efò yo. Yon debòde limyè t ap gaye sou lemonn. Depi plizyè ane deja, abitan latè yo t ap avèti, dènye travay la t ap fini, epi Kris la t ap vini pou redanmsyon pèp Li a.”
“It was not the will of God that Israel should wander forty years in the wilderness; He desired to lead them directly to the land of Canaan and establish them there, a holy, happy people. But ‘they could not enter in because of unbelief.’ Hebrews 3:19. Because of their backsliding and apostasy they perished in the desert, and others were raised up to enter the Promised Land. In like manner, it was not the will of God that the coming of Christ should be so long delayed and His people should remain so many years in this world of sin and sorrow. But unbelief separated them from God. As they refused to do the work which He had appointed them, others were raised up to proclaim the message. In mercy to the world, Jesus delays His coming, that sinners may have an opportunity to hear the warning and find in Him a shelter before the wrath of God shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 458.
“Se pa t volonte Bondye pou Izrayèl te moute desann pandan karant ane nan dezè a; Li te vle mennen yo dirèkteman nan peyi Kanaran epi tabli yo la kòm yon pèp ki sen e ki kontan. Men, ‘yo pa t kapab antre poutèt enkredilite.’ Ebre 3:19. Poutèt retou yo nan peche ak apostazi yo, yo peri nan dezè a, epi yo leve lòt moun pou antre nan Tè Pwomiz la. Menm jan an tou, se pa t volonte Bondye pou vini Kris la te retade konsa lontan e pou pèp Li a te rete pandan tout ane sa yo nan mond peche ak lapenn sa a. Men enkredilite te separe yo ak Bondye. Kòm yo te refize fè travay Li te ba yo a, yo leve lòt moun pou pwoklame mesaj la. Nan mizèrikòd pou lemonn, Jezi retade vini Li, pou pechè yo ka gen yon okazyon pou tande avètisman an epi jwenn nan Li yon refij anvan kòlè Bondye vide sou yo.” The Great Controversy, 458.
James and Ellen White both identified that the movement had transitioned into the movement of Laodicea in 1856, and in the previous passage she identifies that “if all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts.” Then she says, “In like manner,” the “backsliding and apostasy” that ancient Israel manifested, caused ancient Israel to “perish in the desert.” The passage is identifying that Laodicean Adventism began to wander in the wilderness in the time period when those who had proclaimed the message of the Midnight Cry were still alive.
James ak Ellen White toule deklare mouvman an te pase pou l antre nan mouvman Lawodise a an 1856, e nan pasaj anvan an li fè konnen ke “si tout moun ki te travay ansanm nan zèv la an 1844 yo te resevwa mesaj twazyèm zanj lan epi yo te pwoklame li nan pouvwa Sentespri a, Senyè a t ap aji avèk anpil pisans ansanm ak efò yo.” Apre sa li di, “Menm jan an tou,” “retou pa dèyè ak apostazi” Izrayèl tan lontan te manifeste a te lakòz Izrayèl tan lontan “peri nan dezè a.” Pasaj la ap fè konnen Advantis Lawodise a te kòmanse moute desann nan dezè a nan peryòd tan kote sila yo ki te pwoklame mesaj Rèl Minwi a te toujou vivan.
Today the theologians (the learned) identify various applications for Revelation chapter seventeen, that are either derived from the methodology of futurism that was invented by the Jesuits, or the corrupted theological practices of apostate Protestantism. The symbols of Revelation seventeen, are very simple. We have identified the necessary symbols, so we will return to the kingdoms represented there and align them with the kingdoms of Daniel chapter two, for Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.
Jodi a, teyolojyen yo (moun save yo) idantifye divès aplikasyon pou Revelasyon chapit disèt, ki swa sòti nan metodoloji futuris Jezuit yo te envante a, oswa nan pratik teyolojik kòwonpi Pwotestantis aposta a. Senbòl Revelasyon disèt yo trè senp. Nou deja idantifye senbòl nesesè yo; kidonk, n ap retounen sou wayòm yo ki reprezante la a epi n ap aliyen yo ak wayòm Danyèl chapit de yo, paske Jezi toujou ilistre fen yon bagay avèk kòmansman yon bagay.
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. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:10–12.
Epi gen sèt wa yo: senk tonbe deja, youn la kounye a, epi lòt la poko vini; e lè li va vini, li dwe rete pou yon ti tan. E bèt la ki te la, epi ki pa la ankò, se li menm ki wityèm lan, e li soti nan pami sèt yo, epi li prale nan pèdisyon. E dis kòn ou te wè yo se dis wa, ki poko resevwa wayòm toujou; men yo resevwa pouvwa kòm wa pandan yon sèl lè ansanm ak bèt la. Revelasyon 17:10–12.
In verse three, John was spiritually conveyed to 1798. At that vantage point in history, he was told that there were five kingdoms that had already fallen. Those kingdoms were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, pagan Rome and papal Rome. William Miller could not unravel this passage in chapter seventeen, for he could not recognize that papal Rome was a distinct kingdom from pagan Rome. Yet the sequence is addressed in chapters twelve and thirteen of Revelation, for the dragon in chapter twelve represented pagan Rome, the beast that came from the sea in chapter thirteen was the papacy and the earth beast is the United States. Sister White identifies all three of these beasts as the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. In providing her testimony she identifies the sequence of the kingdoms, and the sequence agrees with the application we are making of Revelation seventeen.
Nan vèsè twa a, Jan te transpòte espirityèlman rive nan ane 1798. Depi nan pwen sa a nan listwa, yo te di li ke te gen senk wayòm ki te deja tonbe. Wayòm sa yo se te Babilòn, Medo-Pès, Lagrès, Wòm payèn, ak Wòm papal. William Miller pa t kapab demêle pasaj sa a nan chapit disèt la, paske li pa t kapab rekonèt ke Wòm papal te yon wayòm apa de Wòm payèn. Men, sekans lan trete nan chapit douz ak trèz nan Revelasyon an, paske dragon ki nan chapit douz la te reprezante Wòm payèn, bèt ki te soti nan lanmè a nan chapit trèz la se te papote a, epi bèt tè a se Etazini. Sè White idantifye tout twa bèt sa yo kòm dragon an, bèt la, ak fo pwofèt la. Lè li bay temwayaj li, li idantifye sekans wayòm yo, epi sekans lan dakò ak aplikasyon n ap fè a sou Revelasyon disèt.
“Under the symbols of a great red dragon, a leopard-like beast, and a beast with lamblike horns, the earthly governments which would especially engage in trampling upon God’s law and persecuting His people, were presented to John. The war is carried on till the close of time. The people of God, symbolized by a holy woman and her children, were represented as greatly in the minority. In the last days only a remnant still existed. Of these John speaks as they ‘which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.’
“Anba senbòl yon gwo dragon wouj, yon bèt ki sanble ak leyopa, ak yon bèt ki gen kòn tankou ti mouton, gouvènman sou tè a ki ta espesyalman angaje nan pilonnen lalwa Bondye a epi pèsekite pèp Li a, te prezante bay Jan. Lagè a ap kontinye jouk nan fen tan an. Pèp Bondye a, ki te senbolize pa yon fanm sen ak pitit li yo, te reprezante kòm yon gwoup ki te anpil nan minorite a. Nan dènye jou yo, se sèlman yon rès ki te toujou egziste. Konsènan sila yo, Jan di yo se ‘moun ki kenbe kòmandman Bondye yo, e ki gen temwayaj Jezikri.’”
“Through paganism, and then through the Papacy, Satan exerted his power for many centuries in an effort to blot from the earth God’s faithful witnesses. Pagans and papists were actuated by the same dragon spirit. They differed only in that the Papacy, making a pretense of serving God, was the more dangerous and cruel foe. Through the agency of Romanism, Satan took the world captive. The professed church of God was swept into the ranks of this delusion, and for more than a thousand years the people of God suffered under the dragon’s ire. And when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.
“Atravè paganis la, epi answit atravè Papote a, Satan te egzèse pouvwa li pandan anpil syèk nan yon efò pou efase sou latè temwen fidèl Bondye yo. Pèyen yo ak patizan Papote yo te anime pa menm lespri dragon an. Yo te diferan sèlman nan sa Papote a, pandan li t ap pran pòz sèvi Bondye, te vin tounen lènmi ki pi danjere e ki pi mechan an. Atravè mwayen romanis la, Satan te fè mond lan tonbe an kaptivite. Legliz Bondye a ki t ap deklare tèt li konsa te antre nan ranje twonpri sa a, e pandan plis pase mil an pèp Bondye a te soufri anba kòlè dragon an. E lè Papote a, yo te retire fòs li, te oblije sispann pèsekisyon an, Jan te wè yon nouvo pouvwa k ap monte pou repete vwa dragon an epi kontinye menm zèv mechan ak blasfematwa a. Pouvwa sa a, dènye a ki gen pou fè lagè kont legliz la ak lalwa Bondye a, te senbolize pa yon bèt ki te gen kòn tankou kòn ti mouton.”
“But the stern tracing of the prophetic pencil reveals a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, and that “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; and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Thus Protestantism follows in the steps of the Papacy.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
“Men trasé sevè kreyon pwofetik la revele yon chanjman nan sèn sa a ki te gen lapè. Bèt ki gen kòn tankou ti mouton an pale ak vwa yon dragon, epi li ‘egzèse tout pouvwa premye bèt la devan li.’ Pwofesi a deklare ke li pral di moun ki rete sou latè yo pou yo fè yon imaj pou bèt la, e ke ‘li fè tout moun, ni piti ni gran, rich ak pòv, moun lib ak esklav, resevwa yon mak nan men dwat yo, oswa sou fwon yo; epi pou pèsonn pa kapab achte ni vann, eksepte sila ki gen mak la, oswa non bèt la, oswa nimewo non li.’ Konsa Pwotestantis la suiv tras Papote a.” Signs of the Times, 1ye novanm 1899.
In the first paragraph of the last passage, Sister White identifies pagan Rome, papal Rome and the United States as “earthly governments.” In the second paragraph she identifies that the governments were sequential when she says, “through paganism, and then through the Papacy,” and “when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work.” She does not stop there though, for in the third paragraph she identifies that the United States was to force another kingdom upon the entire world. She says, “The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast.”
Nan premye paragraf dènye pasaj la, Sè White idantifye Wòm payen, Wòm papal, ak Etazini kòm “gouvènman terès.” Nan dezyèm paragraf la, li idantifye ke gouvènman yo te vini youn apre lòt lè li di: “atravè payanis la, epi apre sa atravè Papote a,” epi “lè Papote a, yo te wete fòs li, te oblije sispann pèsekisyon an, Jan te wè yon nouvo pouvwa k ap monte pou repete vwa dragon an, epi pou kontinye menm zèv mechan ak blasfem nan.” Men, li pa rete la, paske nan twazyèm paragraf la li idantifye ke Etazini t ap fòse yon lòt wayòm sou tout lemonn. Li di: “Bèt la ki gen kòn tankou ti mouton pale ak vwa yon dragon, epi ‘li egzèse tout pouvwa premye bèt la devan li.’ Pwofesi a deklare ke li pral di sila yo ki rete sou latè pou yo fè yon imaj pou bèt la.”
Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify pagan Rome, papal Rome, the United States and the world image of the beast, that is set up by the United States. The definition of the “image of the beast” is the combination of Church and State, and for the entire world to set up an image of the beast, by definition it identifies that in the last days, a one-world government will be forced upon the entire earth. The kingdom will consist of a State and a Church, with the Church ruling over the relationship. Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify four sequential kingdoms, and those same kingdoms are represented in chapter seventeen, and also in Daniel chapter two.
Revelasyon chapit douz ak trèz yo idantifye Wòm payen, Wòm papal, Etazini ak imaj mondyal bèt la, ke Etazini mete sou pye. Definisyon “imaj bèt la” se konbinezon Legliz ak Leta, epi pou lemonn antye leve yon imaj bèt la, pa definisyon sa idantifye ke nan dènye jou yo, y ap fòse yon gouvènman mondyal inik sou tout tè a. Wayòm nan ap gen ladan yon Leta ak yon Legliz, avèk Legliz la k ap dirije relasyon an. Revelasyon chapit douz ak trèz yo idantifye kat wayòm youn apre lòt, epi menm wayòm sa yo reprezante nan chapit disèt la, epi tou nan Danyèl chapit de a.
In 1798, John saw the first five kingdoms of Bible prophecy had already fallen, and that in 1798, one kingdom then existed. The kingdom of Bible prophecy that began in 1798, was the earth beast of Revelation thirteen, that began as a lamb, but ends up speaking as a dragon. The United States is the two-horned sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, that follows the fifth kingdom of spiritual Babylon that had received a deadly wound. The fifth kingdom was spiritual Babylon, who had been typified by the first kingdom of literal Babylon. The sixth kingdom with two horns had been typified by the two arms of silver.
Nan lane 1798, Jan te wè senk premye wayòm pwofesi Bib la te deja tonbe, epi ke nan 1798, te gen yon wayòm ki te egziste lè sa a. Wayòm pwofesi Bib la ki te kòmanse an 1798 la, se te bèt ki soti sou tè a nan Revelasyon trèz la, ki te kòmanse tankou yon ti mouton, men ki fini pa pale tankou yon dragon. Etazini se sizyèm wayòm pwofesi Bib la ki gen de kòn, ki vini apre senkyèm wayòm Babilòn espirityèl la, ki te resevwa yon blesi mòtèl. Senkyèm wayòm nan se te Babilòn espirityèl la, ki te gen kòm tip li premye wayòm Babilòn literal la. Sizyèm wayòm ki gen de kòn nan te gen kòm tip li de bra ann ajan yo.
In 1798, there was to be a kingdom that was yet in the future, for in 1798, “the other is not yet come.” When that seventh kingdom came into history, it would only “continue a short space.” The fifth kingdom received a deadly wound, the sixth kingdom had two horns and the seventh kingdom only continues for a brief period of time. The context of the passage identified that the seventh kingdom is represented by the “ten kings”, for when the “ten kings” become a kingdom, they only rule for “one hour,” and one “hour” is a short “space.” When the “ten kings” do reign, they rule together for the “one hour” with the beast.
An 1798, te gen pou vini yon wayòm ki te toujou nan lavni, paske an 1798, “lòt la poko vini.” Lè setyèm wayòm sa a ta antre nan listwa, li t ap sèlman “dire yon ti tan.” Senkyèm wayòm nan te resevwa yon blesi mòtèl, sizyèm wayòm nan te gen de kòn, epi setyèm wayòm nan sèlman dire pou yon kout peryòd tan. Kontèks pasaj la montre setyèm wayòm nan reprezante pa “dis wa yo”, paske lè “dis wa yo” vin tounen yon wayòm, yo sèlman gouvène pandan “yon èdtan,” e yon “èdtan” se yon “ti tan” kout. Lè “dis wa yo” ap renye, yo gouvène ansanm pandan “yon èdtan” sa a avèk bèt la.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:12.
Epi dis kòn ou te wè yo se dis wa, ki poko resevwa okenn wayòm; men yo resevwa pouvwa tankou wa pandan yon èdtan avèk bèt la. Revelasyon 17:12.
The “ten horns” are the seventh kingdom, but they rule together with the beast for “one hour”. The “one hour” is the period of the Sunday law crisis that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. They agree to rule with the beast, for they are forced to do so by the primary king, which is the United States. Sister White in the passage we just cited, identifies that the last power to persecute God’s people is the earth beast.
“Dis kòn” yo se setyèm wayòm nan, men yo gouvène ansanm ak bèt la pandan “yon èdtan”. “Yon èdtan” nan se peryòd kriz lwa dimanch lan ki kòmanse ak lwa dimanch ki pral vini talè a Ozetazini. Yo dakò pou yo gouvène ansanm ak bèt la, paske wa prensipal la fòse yo fè sa, e wa prensipal sa a se Etazini. Sè White, nan pasaj nou sot site a, idantifye dènye pouvwa ki pèsekite pèp Bondye a kòm bèt ki soti sou tè a.
“John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
«Jan te wè yon nouvo pouvwa k ap leve pou repete vwa dragon an, epi pou kontinye menm travay mechan ak blasfèm nan. Pouvwa sa a, dènye a ki pral fè lagè kont legliz la ak lalwa Bondye a, te senbolize pa yon bèt ki te gen kòn tankou ti mouton.» Signs of the Times, 1ye novanm 1899.
The last kingdom of Bible prophecy is brought about through the deception accomplished by the United States, as the False Prophet. The kingdom began as a lamb in 1798, but in the last days it forces the world to accept the worldwide image of the beast, which is by definition the combination of a Church and a State with the Church in control of the relationship. That kingdom is also identified as a three-fold union.
Dènye wayòm pwofesi biblik la vini atravè twonpri Etazini akonpli kòm Fo Pwofèt la. Wayòm nan te kòmanse tankou yon ti mouton an 1798, men nan dènye jou yo li fòse mond lan aksepte imaj bèt la sou tout latè a, ki pa definisyon se konbinezon yon Legliz ak yon Leta kote Legliz la gen kontwòl sou relasyon an. Wayòm sa a idantifye tou kòm yon inyon twa pati.
“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.
« Pwotestan Etazini yo pral pami premye yo ki pral lonje men yo lòt bò gwo twou a pou yo sezi men Espirityalis la; yo pral rive lòt bò gwo abis la pou yo bay pouvwa women an lanmen; epi anba enfliyans inyon twa pati sa a, peyi sa a pral suiv tras Wòm nan lè l ap pilonnen dwa konsyans yo. » The Great Controversy, 588.
The threefold union is the union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, which in Revelation sixteen go forth to the kings of the earth and lead the world to Armageddon.
Inyon twa fwa a se inyon dragon an, bèt la ak fo pwofèt la, ki nan Revelasyon sèz ale bò kote wa latè yo epi mennen mond lan nan Amagedon.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Revelation 16:13, 14.
Epi mwen wè twa lespri sal tankou krapo soti nan bouch dragon an, ak nan bouch bèt la, ak nan bouch fo pwofèt la. Paske yo se lespri demon, k ap fè mirak, ki soti al jwenn wa latè yo ak wa tout lemonn, pou rasanble yo pou lagè gran jou sa a Bondye Toupisan an. Revelasyon 16:13, 14.
The “Roman power” is the papacy, the beast and the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy that received a deadly wound. The “Protestants” represent the United States, the false prophet, the sixth and final kingdom of Bible prophecy. “Spiritualism” is the United Nations, the dragon and the kingdom that agrees to rule for one hour with the beast. The threefold union is accomplished during the “one hour” that is the “hour” of the “great earthquake” in Revelation eleven, which is the soon-coming Sunday law.
«Pouvwa women» an se papote a, bèt la ak senkyèm wayòm pwofesi biblik la ki te resevwa yon blesi mòtèl. «Pwotestan yo» reprezante Etazini, fo pwofèt la, sizyèm ak dènye wayòm pwofesi biblik la. «Espirityalis» se Nasyonzini, dragon an ak wayòm ki dakò pou l dirije pandan yon èdtan ansanm ak bèt la. Inyon an twa fwa a reyalize pandan «yon èdtan» ki se «lè a» nan «gwo tranblemanntè» ki nan Revelasyon onz la, ki se lwa dimanch ki pral vini talè a.
“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.
«Par le décret imposant l’institution de la papauté en violation de la loi de Dieu, notre nation se séparera entièrement de la justice. Lorsque le protestantisme étendra la main au-dessus du gouffre pour saisir la main de la puissance romaine, lorsqu’il se penchera au-dessus de l’abîme pour joindre la main au spiritualisme, lorsque, sous l’influence de cette triple union, notre pays répudiera tout principe de sa Constitution en tant que gouvernement protestant et républicain, et prendra des dispositions pour la propagation des faussetés et des illusions papales, alors nous pourrons savoir que le temps est venu pour l’œuvre merveilleuse de Satan et que la fin est proche.» Testimonies, volume 5, 451.
In Daniel chapter two, Babylon, the first kingdom of Bible prophecy represented by the head of gold, typifies spiritual Babylon, the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The twofold kingdom of the Medes and Persians, the shoulders and arms of silver, the second kingdom of Bible prophecy in Daniel two, represents the two-horned earth beast, the United States, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The brass of the image of Daniel two, representing Greece, the third kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the United Nations, the seventh head that continues for “one hour”, and that agrees to accept a position in the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet.
Nan Danyèl chapit de, Babilòn, premye wayòm pwofesi Bib la ki reprezante pa tèt an lò a, sèvi kòm tip Babilòn espirityèl la, senkyèm wayòm pwofesi Bib la. Wayòm doub Med yo ak Pès yo, zepòl ak bra an ajan yo, dezyèm wayòm pwofesi Bib la nan Danyèl de, reprezante bèt tè a ki gen de kòn nan, Etazini, sizyèm wayòm pwofesi Bib la. Kòb kwiv imaj Danyèl de a, ki reprezante Lagrès, twazyèm wayòm pwofesi Bib la, reprezante Nasyonzini, setyèm tèt la ki kontinye pandan “yon èdtan”, epi ki dakò aksepte yon pozisyon nan inyon an twa pati dragon an, bèt la, ak fo pwofèt la.
The iron kingdom of Daniel chapter two, the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven. Literal pagan Rome, the fourth kingdom, represents modern Rome, which is a kingdom that is structured with the combination of Church and State, with the Church ruling over the relationship. That kingdom is threefold in nature, for the premier king of the “ten kings” is the sixth kingdom which is the earth beast. The sixth kingdom is Ahab, who was married to Jezebel. The sixth kingdom when represented in its threefold union is modern Rome, that was preceded by the fifth kingdom that was papal Rome, which was preceded by the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome.
Peyi wayòm fè a nan Dànyèl chapit de a, katriyèm wayòm pwofesi Bib la, reprezante wityèm wayòm nan, ki soti nan sèt yo. Wòm payen literal la, katriyèm wayòm nan, reprezante Wòm modèn nan, ki se yon wayòm ki òganize avèk konbinezon Legliz ak Leta, avèk Legliz la k ap dirije relasyon an. Wayòm sa a gen yon nati twa-fwa, paske wa prensipal “dis wa” yo se sizyèm wayòm nan, ki se bèt latè a. Sizyèm wayòm nan se Akab, ki te marye ak Jezabèl. Sizyèm wayòm nan, lè yo reprezante l nan inyon twa-fwa li a, se Wòm modèn nan, ki te vin apre pa senkyèm wayòm nan ki te Wòm papal la, ki li menm te vin apre pa katriyèm wayòm Wòm payen an.
The Millerites only saw Rome as the fourth and final kingdom. They recognized it was twofold in nature, but could see no other following earthly kingdom. The fourth kingdom was pagan Rome, which preceded papal Rome the fifth kingdom, that is followed by modern Rome the sixth kingdom. The sixth kingdom is the third of three Roman manifestations.
Millerites yo te sèlman wè Wòm kòm katriyèm e dènye wayòm nan. Yo te rekonèt li te gen yon nati doub, men yo pa t ka wè okenn lòt wayòm sou tè a ki t ap vini apre li. Katriyèm wayòm nan se te Wòm payen an, ki te vini anvan Wòm papal la, senkyèm wayòm nan, epi sa a vin swiv pa Wòm modèn nan, sizyèm wayòm nan. Sizyèm wayòm nan se twazyèm nan twa manifestasyon women yo.
The threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet is both modern Rome and also Babylon the Great, whose deadly wound is healed. The United States, the United Nations and the whore of Tyre represent the eighth and final kingdom, but they are all three allies in the threefold union of the sixth kingdom, which is the last power “to wage war against the church and the law of God.”
Inyon twa-fwa dragon an, bèt la, ak fo pwofèt la se ni Wòm modèn lan ni tou Gran Babilòn nan, ki blesi mòtèl li geri. Etazini, Nasyonzini, ak pwostitiye Tir la reprezante wityèm ak dènye wayòm nan, men yo tout twa se alye nan inyon twa-fwa sizyèm wayòm nan, ki se dènye pouvwa a “pou fè lagè kont legliz la ak lalwa Bondye a.”
The United States is one-third of the sixth kingdom. The United Nations, as part of the threefold union, is also one-third of the sixth kingdom, and the papacy is also one-third of the sixth kingdom. At this level the number for the United States is SIX, and the number for the United Nations is SIX and the number of the papacy is SIX. The threefold union represents the number of a man, the “man of sin”, and his number is SIX-SIX-SIX.
Etazini se yon tyè nan sizyèm wayòm nan. Nasyonzini, kòm yon pati nan inyon an twa branch, se tou yon tyè nan sizyèm wayòm nan, epi papote a se tou yon tyè nan sizyèm wayòm nan. Nan nivo sa a, nimewo Etazini se SIS, epi nimewo Nasyonzini se SIS, epi nimewo papote a se SIS. Inyon an twa branch reprezante nimewo yon nonm, “nonm peche a”, epi nimewo li se SIS-SIS-SIS.
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.
Men sajès la. Se pou moun ki gen entèlijans kalkile nimewo bèt la, paske se nimewo yon nonm; e nimewo li se sis-san swasant-sis. Revelasyon 13:18.
The sixth and final separate kingdom is the United States, but it deceives the world, for it is the False Prophet.
Sizyèm e dènye wayòm apa a se Etazini, men li twonpe lemonn, paske li se Fo Pwofèt la.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And 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 in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Revelation 13:12–14.
Epi li egzèse tout pouvwa premye bèt la devan li, epi li fè tè a ak moun ki rete sou li adore premye bèt la, ki te gen blesi mòtèl li geri. Epi li fè gwo mèvèy, jis li fè dife desann soti nan syèl la sou tè a devan je lèzòm. Epi li twonpe moun ki rete sou tè a pa mwayen mèvèy sa yo li te gen pouvwa fè devan bèt la; li di moun ki rete sou tè a pou yo fè yon estati pou bèt la, ki te resevwa blesi nepe a epi ki te viv. Revelasyon 13:12–14.
The “power of the first beast before him,” represents the power that was given to the papacy by the kings of Europe, beginning with Clovis in the year 496. The United States uses its military might, accompanied by its economic might to deceive and coerce the world. The United States forces the world to worship the papacy, through the enforcement of Sunday worship. The United States performs great wonders by making fire, (a symbol of a message) to come down out of heaven, that is to be accomplished by the Information Super-Highway, that represents the full development of brainwashing and propaganda, that is the modern manifestation of hypnosis. Because of the escalating crisis brought upon the earth by Islam, as they fulfill their role in angering the nations, the world is deceived to accept the worldwide system of the combination of Church and State that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
“Pouvwa premye bèt la devan li a” reprezante pouvwa wa Ewòp yo te bay papote a, kòmanse avèk Klovis nan ane 496. Etazini sèvi ak pisans militè li, ansanm ak pisans ekonomik li, pou twonpe ak fòse lemonn. Etazini fòse lemonn adore papote a, atravè enpozisyon adorasyon dimanch. Etazini fè gwo mèvèy lè li fè dife, (yon senbòl yon mesaj) desann soti nan syèl la; sa dwe akonpli pa Gran Otorout Enfòmasyon an, ki reprezante devlopman total lave sèvo ak pwopagann, ki se manifestasyon modèn ipnoz. Akoz kriz k ap vin pi grav la Islam pote sou tè a, pandan y ap akonpli wòl pa yo nan fè nasyon yo fache, lemonn twonpe pou l aksepte sistèm mondyal la ki se konbinezon Legliz ak Leta a, ki gen ladan dragon an, bèt la, ak fo pwofèt la.
When verse eighteen of Revelation thirteen says count the number of the beast, the number is the three powers that come together to make up the sixth and final kingdom. When that kingdom of 666, is put in place, it will be the fulfillment of the prophetic riddle that the eighth king is of the seven. That prophetic riddle is part of the truth that is unsealed when the Lion of the tribe of Judah, unseals the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Lè vèsè dizwit nan Revelasyon trèz la di pou yo konte nimewo bèt la, nimewo a se twa pouvwa yo ki vin mete tèt yo ansanm pou fòme sizyèm e dènye wayòm nan. Lè wayòm 666 sa a etabli, sa va akonplisman devinèt pwofetik la ki di wityèm wa a soti nan sèt yo. Devinèt pwofetik sa a fè pati verite ki vin dekouvri lè Lyon tribi Jida a louvri sele Revelasyon Jezikri a.
For this reason the riddle of the final kingdom that is the threefold sixth kingdom, that is also spiritual Babylon that was forgotten for seventy symbolic years, and who is modern Rome, and who is also the worldwide image of the beast, who was typified by the first kingdom of Babylon, and the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, is twice witnessed to by the identification that it is the “wise” that will understand this truth, for the enigma of 666, is premised upon those who have wisdom, as is the enigma of the eighth king being of the seven.
Pou rezon sa a, devinèt dènye wayòm nan, ki se sizyèm wayòm twa-fwa a, ki se tou Babilòn espirityèl la ki te tonbe nan bliye pandan swasanndis ane senbolik, e ki se Wòm modèn, e ki se tou imaj bèt la atravè lemonn, ki te prefigire pa premye wayòm Babilòn nan, ak katriyèm wayòm Wòm payen an, resevwa yon temwayaj doub atravè idantifikasyon ki di se “moun saj” yo ki pral konprann verite sa a; paske devinèt 666 la chita sou moun ki gen sajès, menm jan ak devinèt wityèm wa a ki soti nan sèt yo.
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.
Men sajès la. Se pou moun ki gen entèlijans kalkile nimewo bèt la; paske se nimewo yon moun li ye; epi nimewo li se sis san swasantsis. Revelasyon 13:18.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Revelation 17:9.
Men bon sajès la. Sèt tèt yo se sèt mòn, kote fanm nan chita a. Revelasyon 17:9.
The unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is understood by the “wise,” not by the wicked. Both references of wisdom in the book of Revelation are about those who have “understanding,” and what the “wise” understand is the “increase of knowledge”. The “increase of knowledge” that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation that the eighth kingdom, which is the threefold kingdom of 666, is also represented in Daniel chapter two, for the jewels of Miller’s dream are to shine ten times brighter in the last days.
Dechifreman Revelasyon Jezikri a se bagay “saj” yo konprann, pa mechan yo. Toude referans sou sajès nan liv Revelasyon an konsène moun ki gen “entèlijans”, e sa “saj” yo konprann se “ogmantasyon konesans lan”. “Ogmantasyon konesans lan” ki se Revelasyon Jezikri a, se revelasyon ke wityèm wayòm nan, ki se wayòm twa-fwa 666 la, reprezante tou nan Dànyèl chapit de a, paske bijou rèv Miller la dwe klere dis fwa pi plis nan dènye jou yo.
We will continue this study in the next article.
Nou pral kontinye etid sa a nan atik k ap vini an.
“In the Revelation are portrayed the deep things of God. The very name given to its inspired pages, ‘the Revelation,’ contradicts the statement that this is a sealed book. A revelation is something revealed. The Lord Himself revealed to His servant the mysteries contained in this book, and He designs that they shall be open to the study of all. Its truths are addressed to those living in the last days of this earth’s history, as well as to those living in the days of John. Some of the scenes depicted in this prophecy are in the past, some are now taking place; some bring to view the close of the great conflict between the powers of darkness and the Prince of heaven, and some reveal the triumphs and joys of the redeemed in the earth made new.
“Nan Revelasyon an yo prezante bagay pwofon Bondye yo. Menm non yo bay paj enspire li yo, ‘Revelasyon an,’ kontredi deklarasyon ki di se yon liv sele. Yon revelasyon se yon bagay ki devwale. Seyè a li menm te devwale bay sèvitè li a mistè ki nan liv sa a, e li gen entansyon pou yo louvri pou etid tout moun. Verite li yo adrese ak moun k ap viv nan dènye jou istwa tè sa a, menm jan tou ak moun ki t ap viv nan tan Jan yo. Kèk nan sèn yo dekri nan pwofesi sa a se nan tan pase, kèk ap fèt kounye a; kèk mete devan je nou fen gwo konfli ant pisans fènwa yo ak Prens syèl la, e kèk revele triyonf ak lajwa moun ki rachte yo nan tè a ki vin fè nouvo.”
“Let none think, because they cannot explain the meaning of every symbol in the Revelation, that it is useless for them to search this book in an effort to know the meaning of the truth it contains. The One who revealed these mysteries to John will give to the diligent searcher for truth a foretaste of heavenly things. Those whose hearts are open to the reception of truth will be enabled to understand its teachings, and will be granted the blessing promised to those who ‘hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’
“Pèsonn pa dwe panse, paske yo pa ka esplike siyifikasyon chak senbòl nan Revelasyon an, li pa itil pou yo fouye liv sa a nan efò pou yo konnen siyifikasyon verite li genyen an. Sila a ki te revele mistè sa yo bay Jan ap bay moun ki chèche verite a ak dilijans yon avangou sou bagay ki nan syèl la. Moun ki gen kè yo ouvè pou resevwa verite a ap vin kapab konprann ansèyman li yo, epi y ap resevwa benediksyon yo te pwomèt pou moun ki “tande pawòl pwofesi sa a, epi ki kenbe bagay ki ekri ladan l yo.”
“In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.
“Nan liv Revelasyon an, tout liv Bib la reyini epi yo fini. Men konpleman liv Danyèl la. Youn se yon pwofesi; lòt la se yon revelasyon. Liv ki te sele a se pa Revelasyon an, men se pati sa a nan pwofesi Danyèl la ki gen rapò ak dènye jou yo. Zanj lan te bay lòd sa a: ‘Men ou menm, O Danyèl, fèmen pawòl yo, epi sele liv la, jouk nan tan lafen an.’ Danyèl 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.
