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.
Moun ki sou move bò nan dènye konfli sa a konsènan senbòl Wòm nan apiye sou yon aplikasyon defektye nan yon aplikasyon trip pwofesi a, pandan y ap sijere ke twa Wòm yo defini pa twa lwa dimanch yo nan ane 321, 538, ak lwa dimanch ki pral vini byento Ozetazini. Lè yo fè sa, yo mete yon pant kòrèk sou règ la ak sou istwa pwofetik yo chwazi a, menm jan sa te fèt tou nan konfli ki te genyen konsènan kat ensèk Yoèl yo. Kat jenerasyon yo, ki swiv pa kat ensèk k ap devore nan premye sis vèsè Yoèl yo, pale sou fason pèp Bondye a ap dechèpiye pwogresivman sou kat jenerasyon, epi sou fason dechèpiyaj sa a te akonpli pa akseptasyon teyoloji Wòm ak pwotestantis aposta pa Advantis la.
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.
Nan konfli aktyèl la, moun ki eseye sèvi ak lwa dimanch lan pou defini twa Wòm yo, evite verite a ke an reyalite gen kat lwa dimanch ki idantifye nan Pawòl pwofetik Bondye a, e ke ane 321 la reprezante lwa dimanch ki pral vini talè a Ozetazini, epi lwa dimanch 538 la tipifye lwa dimanch ki pral fòse sou tout nasyon sou latè. Kat lwa dimanch pa idantifye twa lwa dimanch, sitou lè twazyèm manifestasyon an nan yon aplikasyon trip pwofesi a reprezante akonplisman final la. Lwa dimanch ki pral vini talè a Ozetazini an pa lwa dimanch final la; okontrè, li make kòmansman yon seri lwa dimanch pandan chak nasyon sou latè ap aksepte pwogresivman mak otorite pap la.
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.
Moun ki te reveye an Jiyè 2023 yo dwe konprann ke tès pwofetik k ap fè fas ak yo a rive pandan vide-desann Sentespri a, e ke pandan vide-desann sa a, yon gwoup ap resevwa “lwil la,” tandiske lòt gwoup la ap resevwa “gwo twonpri.” Reprezantasyon prensipal moun ki resevwa gwo twonpri a prezante nan menm chapit kote ekspresyon gwo twonpri a twouve l, e nan chapit sa a verite ki swa renmen oswa rejte a se verite ki defini relasyon pwofetik ant Wòm payen ak Wòm papal.
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.
Relasyon pwofetik ant 321 ak 538 la parèt atravè relasyon pwofetik ant legliz Pègam ak legliz Tiyatir. Nan dènye jou yo, Wòm payen, ki reprezante pa 321 ak Pègam, se yon senbòl Etazini, epi Wòm papal, ki reprezante pa 538 ak Tiyatir, se yon senbòl Wòm Modèn.
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.
Premye Wòm nan ane 321 la te yon eta pouvwa inik; epi dezyèm Wòm nan ane 538 la te yon pouvwa doub ki te reprezante yon konbinezon ant legliz ak leta, avèk legliz la ki te gen kontwòl sou relasyon an. Twazyèm ak dènye Wòm nan, ki se Wòm modèn nan, se yon pouvwa trip ki konpoze de dragon an, bèt la, ak fo pwofèt la.
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.
Pòl te anseye ke pa konprann relasyon pwofetik ak istorik ant Wòm payen an (dragon an) ak Wòm papal la (bèt la) se te manifeste yon rayisman pou verite a, sa ki te lakòz yon gwo egareman. Tout pwofèt yo, Pòl ladan yo tou, t ap pale pi espesyalman konsènan dènye jou yo; konsa, relasyon ant de pouvwa sa yo nan istwa Pòl la reprezante relasyon ant twa pouvwa Wòm Modèn yo nan dènye jou yo. Rejte relasyon pwofetik ki “fòme” inyon trip la ant dragon an, bèt la ak fo pwofèt la nan dènye jou yo, se asire gwo egareman an pou tèt pa ou.
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.
Entèpretasyon prive Uriah Smith te fè sou wa nò a te reprezante yon “kòz” ki te pwodui yon “efè.” Men, klas ki sou move bò nan konfli konsènan Wòm nan idantifye espesyalman kòm moun ki pa kapab rezone soti nan kòz rive nan efè. Smith pa t wè ke aplikasyon defektye li te fè sou wa nò a t ap pwodui yon platfòm pwofetik ki t ap mennen l tou pou li mal reprezante sizyèm kalamite a, kote gen yon avètisman pou swa kenbe, swa pèdi rad jistis Kris la.
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.
Menm jan ak anfaz Pòl mete nan 2 Tesalonisyen yo, Jan nan chapit sèz liv Revelasyon an ak sizyèm kalamite a mete anfaz sou nesesite pou konprann kiyès twa pisans ki mennen lemonn nan Armagedon an ye. Aplikasyon ki gen defo Smith fè sou wa nò a bay temwayaj sou yon enkapasite pou aplike tip ak antitip yo kòrèkteman.
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 pa t kapab, oswa li pa t vle, aplike prensip ki tèlman klèman tabli nan ekriti Pòl yo, selon ki sa ki te literal anvan peryòd tan kwa a te reprezante sa ki espirityèl apre peryòd tan kwa a. Lè yo swiv prensip sa a avèk swen e avèk presizyon, li fasil pou demontre ke “wa nò a” se youn pami anpil senbòl ki reprezante “wa nò a” espirityèl nan dènye jou yo. Advantis setyèm jou yo, plis pase nenpòt lòt pèp, ta dwe konnen ke youn nan estrikti prensipal pwofesi a chita sou konfli ant Kris ak Satan. Kris se vrè Wa nò a, epi Satan ap eseye manifeste tèt li kòm wa nò a kontrefè.
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.
Yon Chante ak Sòm pou pitit gason Kore yo. Gran se SENYÈ a, e li merite anpil louwanj nan vil Bondye nou an, sou mòn sentete li a. Bèl nan pozisyon li, lajwa tout tè a, se mòn Siyon an, sou bò nò yo, vil gwo Wa a. Bondye fè yo konnen li nan palè li yo kòm yon refij. Sòm 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.
Efò Satan pou kontrefè vrè Wa nò a gen ladan yo sèvi ak pap Wòm nan kòm reprezantan li sou tè a. Satan se antikris, e pap Wòm nan tou se antikris, li menm ki se reprezantan Satan nan travay sediksyon li a.
“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.
“Pou asire avantaj ak onè monn lan, legliz la te vin chèche favè ak soutyen gwo mesye latè yo; e konsa, lè li te rejte Kris la, yo te pouse li bay fidelite li a reprezantan Satan an—evèk Wòm nan.” 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.
Nan dislokasyon wayòm Aleksann Legran an, Seleikis Nikatò te vin premye wa nò a nan istwa ki reprezante nan chapit onz liv Danyèl la. Papa li, Antyòkis, te yon dirijan enfliyan nan wayòm Aleksann nan, e pitit gason li a, Seleikis, te nonmen satrap Babilòn. Yon “satrap” se yon gouvènè, epi lè Seleikis te fin asire kontwòl sou twa nan kat zòn jewografik yo kote wayòm Aleksann nan te divize a, li te vin wa nò a.
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.
Entèpretasyon pèsonèl Smith la ansanm ak fason li te evite règ gramè yo te mennen li pou l sipoze dènye pisans ki t ap fòme konfederasyon mechanste Satan an nan dènye jou yo te reprezante nan pwofesi kòm pisans literal, pa kòm pisans espirityèl. Konsa, li pa t kapab wè ke Seleucus Nicator, kòm premye wa nò a, gouvènè Babilòn nan, te dwe pa nesesite pwofetik reprezante dènye wa espirityèl nò a, ki se te pisans ki t ap kontwole Babilòn espirityèl modèn nan.
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.
Epi youn nan sèt zanj ki te gen sèt bòl yo vini, li pale avè m, li di m: Vini isit la; m ap montre w jijman gwo pwostitiye a ki chita sou anpil dlo yo; se avèk li wa latè yo te fè fònikasyon, e moun ki rete sou latè yo te sou ak diven fònikasyon li a. Konsa li pote m ale an lespri nan dezè a; epi mwen wè yon fanm chita sou yon bèt koulè wouj violèt, ki te plen non blasfèm, ki te gen sèt tèt ak dis kòn. Fanm nan te abiye ak koulè wouj violèt ak koulè eskalèt, li te dekore ak lò, pyè presye ak pèl, li te gen nan men l yon gode an lò ki te plen ak abominasyon ak salte fònikasyon li a. Epi sou fwon li te ekri yon non: MISTÈ, GRAN BABILÒN NAN, MANMAN PWOSTITIYE YO AK ABOMINASYON LATÈ YO. E mwen wè fanm nan sou ak san sen yo, ak san matir Jezi yo; e lè mwen wè li, mwen te sezi ak anpil etònman. Revelasyon 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.
Pouvwa ki gouvène Babilòn nan dènye jou yo se legliz papal la; se poutèt sa li se tou wa espirityèl nò a.
“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.
“Fanm nan (Babilòn) ki nan Revelasyon 17 la dekri kòm ‘abiye an koulè vyolèt ak wouj violèt, dekore ak lò, ak pyè presye ak pèl, li te gen nan men li yon gode an lò ki te plen ak abominasyon ak salte: …epi sou fwon li te ekri yon non, Mistè, Babilòn Gran an, manman jennès yo.’ Pwofèt la di konsa: ‘Mwen te wè fanm nan sou ak san sen yo, ak ak san mati Jezi yo.’ Yo deklare ankò konsènan Babilòn ke li se ‘gwo vil sa a, ki ap gouvène sou wa latè yo.’ Revelasyon 17:4-6, 18. Pouvwa ki, pandan anpil syèk, te kenbe yon dominasyon despotik sou monak lakretyente yo, se Wòm. Koulè vyolèt ak wouj violèt la, lò a ak pyè presye yo ansanm ak pèl yo, trase avèk vivasite grandè a ak pom plis pase wayal chèz awogan Wòm nan te afekte a. E pa t gen okenn lòt pouvwa yo ta ka deklare avèk jistès konsa kòm ‘sou ak san sen yo’ pase legliz sa a ki te pèsekite disip Kris yo avèk yon mechanste konsa. Yo akize Babilòn tou pou peche relasyon ilegal ak ‘wa latè yo.’ Se lè legliz jwif la te kite Seyè a epi li te fè alyans ak payen yo li te vin tounen yon jennès; epi Wòm, ki kòwonpi tèt li menm jan an lè li t ap chèche sipò pouvwa lemonn yo, resevwa menm kondanasyon an.” 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.
Gouvènè a se wa a, e dapre Ezayi, yon wa se yon wayòm, epi li se tou vil kapital yon wayòm.
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.
Paske tèt peyi Siri se Damas, e tèt Damas se Rezin; epi nan swasantsenk ane Efrayim va kraze, pou li pa yon pèp ankò. E tèt Efrayim se Samari, e tèt Samari se pitit gason Remalya a. Si nou pa kwè, sètènman nou p ap tabli. Ezayi 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.”
Dapre temwayaj Ezayi a, yon etidyan nan pwofesi ki leve nan mwa Jiyè 2023 pou antre nan yon pwosesis tès pwofetik dwe rekonèt senbolis pwofetik “tèt” la, si li vle vin tabli. Si li pa rekonèt epi aplike senbolis yon “tèt” lè sa nesesè, alò li pa tabli. Moun ki pa kwè yo pa tabli, e konsa Ezayi ap idantifye de kategori adoratè nan dènye jou yo ki swa tabli, swa pa tabli. Se menm de kategori sa yo ki swa gen “lwil” la, swa yo pa gen “lwil” la.
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.
Yon gwoup ki etabli e ki gen lwil la, swa yo resevwa mesaj Rèl Minwi a ki te kòmanse ap louvri nan mwa Jiyè 2023, swa yo resevwa gwo ilizyon 2 Tesalonisyen yo. Eprèv yo se fòmasyon imaj bèt la, ak fason bèt la fòme, kit se bèt papal Mwayennaj Fènwa yo, kit se imaj li Etazini fòme a, oswa inyon twa-fwa a ki mennen lemonn nan Amagedon. Sa gen ladan l nesesite pou rekonèt ke “tèt” la, “wa” a, chèf lòt de pouvwa ki fòme inyon twa-fwa a, se pouvwa papal la.
The “head,” the capital city of Judah was Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose to place His name.
“tèt” la, vil kapital Jida a, se te Jerizalèm, vil Senyè a te chwazi pou mete non Li.
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.
Epi Reboboram, pitit Salomon an, te gouvènen peyi Jida. Reboboram te gen karannèken an lè li te kòmanse gouvènen, e li te gouvènen disèt an lavil Jerizalèm, vil Senyè a te chwazi pami tout tribi Izrayèl yo pou mete non li la. E non manman li te Naama, yon Amonitès. 1 Wa 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.
Nan gwo konfli ki genyen ant Kris ak Satan an, vil kapital Kris la, kote Li mete non Li, se Jerizalèm; epi fo imitasyon Satan an se te vil literal Babilòn nan, ki reprezante Babilòn espirityèl, gran vil sa a nan dènye jou yo. Satan mete non pa li sou tèt la kòm yon fo imitasyon vil ak kapital Bondye a. Wa ki abite la a se manman jennès yo, ki fè fònikasyon ak wa latè yo. Manman jennès yo se pouvwa papal la, epi pitit fi li yo se legliz pwotestan ki tonbe yo, pami yo premye legliz aposta ki tonbe a se pwotestan aposta Etazini yo.
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.
Pwotestan aposta sa yo reprezante kòn pwotestan bèt ki soti sou tè a, e yo ini ak manman yo depi yo te rejte mesaj pwofetik ki te debloke an 1798. Koresponnans pa yo a, kòn Repibliken an, ini ak wa latè yo atravè relasyon yo ak Nasyonzini, dis wa Revelasyon disèt yo. Inyon twa-fwa a ki mennen mond lan Armagedon an reprezante pa tèt li, kote non li plase a, e Wòm modèn espirityèl la se Babilòn modèn espirityèl la. “Tèt” li se pouvwa papal la.
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.
Premye a reprezante dènye a; epi kit ou aplike Danyèl chapit de a jan Millerit yo te fè sa, kòm li reprezante kat wayòm, oswa jan sa te louvri nan dènye jou yo kòm li reprezante uit wayòm, premye wayòm nan se te Babilòn literal. Millerit yo ta fè w konnen dènye a se te Wòm literal. Babilòn ak Wòm se senbòl ki ka ranplase youn lòt, paske yo se premye a ak dènye a nan yon liy pwofetik.
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.
Nan dènye jou yo, premye wayòm Babilòn literal la reprezante wityèm ak dènye wayòm nan, ki se Babilòn modèn espirityèl la, e ki se tou Wòm modèn espirityèl la. Konsènan de temwen yo ki reprezante nan chapit de nan liv Danyèl la, Babilòn ak Wòm se senbòl ki ka ranplase youn lòt.
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.
Lè yo prezante pwostitiye papal la ak yon non sou fwon li ki idantifye “Babilòn Mistè,” sa idantifye tou “Wòm mistè.” Yon “mistè” pwofetik reprezante yon verite ki tèlman pwofon, li enposib pou moun konprann pwofondè verite ki reprezante ladan l nan, sitou san enfliyans Sentespri a. Men, yon “mistè” biblik egzije tou pou sa ki revele an rapò ak mistè a vin tounen yon konpreyansyon nesesè pou moun k ap chèche pase eprèv la. Se poutèt sa de temwen yo nan Revelasyon mete aksan sou nesesite pou konprann Wòm modèn nan.
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 konpreyansyon kalkile nimewo bèt la; paske se nimewo yon moun li ye; epi nimewo li se sis san swasantsis. Revelasyon 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.
“Lasajès” konprann nimewo bèt la, ki se nimewo yon nonm, e nimewo li se sis, sis, sis. “Nonm peche a” se tèt bèt la. Lasajès se yon atribi vyèj saj yo nan dènye jou yo, e li se tou yon senbòl pou moun ki konprann ogmantasyon konesans nan dènye jou yo. Moun ki pa konprann yo se vyèj sòt yo, e yo se mechan yo. “Lasajès” yo pa konprann nan dwe, pa nesesite pwofetik, nan kontèks dènye eprèv pwofetik la, paske se lè sa a vyèj saj yo ak vyèj sòt yo egziste. Yo dwe konprann “sis, sis, sis.” Lespri ki gen lasajès la, Jan mete l tou nan dènye jou yo nan Revelasyon chapit disèt.
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.
Epi isit la gen lespri ki gen sajès la. Sèt tèt yo se sèt mòn yo, sou yo menm fanm nan chita a. E gen sèt wa: senk tonbe deja, youn la, e lòt la poko vini; epi lè li vini, li dwe rete pou yon ti tan. E bèt la ki te la, epi ki pa la ankò, se li menm ki uityèm nan, e li soti nan sèt yo, epi li ale nan pèdisyon. Revelasyon 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.”
“Espri” ki gen sajès pou konprann nonb “sis, sis, sis” la, se yon vyèj saj ki resevwa “lespri Kris la.”
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.
Paske kiyès ki te konnen panse Senyè a, pou l ta ka enstwi li? Men nou menm, nou gen panse Kris la. 1 Korentyen 2:16.
The class of wise virgins have the mind of Christ, and the foolish wicked virgins have the mind of Christ’s adversary.
Klas vyèj saj yo gen panse Kris la, epi vyèj mechan sòt yo gen panse advèsè Kris la.
“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.
“Lè a rive pou vrè limyè a klere nan mitan fènwa moral la. Mesaj twazyèm zanj lan te voye bay mond lan, pou avèti lèzòm kont resevwa mak bèt la oswa mak imaj li a sou fwon yo oswa nan men yo. Resevwa mak sa a vle di rive pran menm desizyon ak bèt la te pran, epi soutni menm lide yo, an opozisyon dirèk ak pawòl Bondye a.” Review and Herald, 13 Jiyè 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.
Fòmasyon imaj bèt la se dènye tès la pou vyèj parabòl la yo, e saj yo gen panse Kris la, paske yo rive nan menm desizyon ak Kris la, paske yo te soumèt volonte pa yo anba direksyon Sentespri a. Fòmasyon imaj Kris la nan vyèj saj yo fè yon kontrast ak fòmasyon imaj bèt la nan vyèj sòt yo. Vyèj sòt yo rive nan menm desizyon ak bèt la, paske yo te vin nan konfizyon sou kestyon tès la konsènan idantifikasyon kòrèk antikris la, ki se wa nò a fo a ak tèt lavil Wòm modèn nan.
“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.
“Moun ki vin konfonn nan konpreyansyon yo genyen sou pawòl la, ki pa rive wè siyifikasyon antechris la, sètènman ap mete tèt yo bò kote antechris la.” 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.
Vyèj sòt yo, nan tan eprèv la ki reprezante kòm fòmasyon imaj bèt la, vin konfonn nan konpreyansyon yo genyen sou Pawòl la. Konfizyon yo chita sou move konpreyansyon yo genyen sou Pawòl pwofetik Bondye a; epi, paske yo pa rive wè siyifikasyon kòrèk Wòm modèn nan, yo resevwa yon gwo awogans, yo rive pran menm desizyon ak bèt la, epi yo defann menm lide papal yo an opozisyon dirèk ak Pawòl Bondye a, konsa yo mete tèt yo bò kote antikris la.
