As we bring the consideration of the various controversies which have occurred in Advent history together line upon line in order to conclude our understanding of the current issue, we have taken selected attributes of five prophetic lines. The first line is also the last line, for both controversies were directly based upon verse fourteen of Daniel eleven’s “robbers of thy people.” We considered the controversies of Uriah Smith and James White and the controversy of “the daily”, in the book of Daniel. We considered the controversy that occurred after the unsealing of the last six verses of Daniel eleven in 1989, concerning the king of the north. We then considered the four insects of the book of Joel. There is so much more that might be added to each of these lines, but we are simply isolating certain characteristics that contributed to the positions that rejected the truths connected with the subject of Rome.

Five histories, but the first also being the last represents six lines. The prophetic setting for these lines of controversy is the last days, so for this reason the lines are to be applied during the test of the image of the beast.
Akụkọ ihe mere eme ise, ma nke mbụ bụkwa nke ikpeazụ, na-anọchite anya ahịrị isii. Ebe amụma maka ahịrị esemokwu ndị a bụ ụbọchị ikpeazụ, ya mere, n’ihi nke a, a ga-etinye ahịrị ndị a n’ọrụ n’oge ule nke oyiyi nke anụ ọhịa ahụ.
“The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. . ..
“Onyenwe anyị egosila m nke ọma na a ga-eme onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ tupu oge amara agwụ; n’ihi na ọ ga-abụ nnukwu ule nye ndị nke Chineke, nke a ga-ekpebi ọdịnihu ha ebighị ebi site na ya....”
“This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.
“Nke a bụ ule ahụ ndị nke Chineke ga-enwerịrị tupu e dechie ha akara.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.
The test of the formation of the image of the beast is, as with the other six lines of controversy a test concerning the prophetic subject of Rome. The great test that occurs before God’s people are sealed is about the formation of the image of the Roman beast. The beast is the papal power, and the United States forms an image of the papal power as it progresses to the soon-coming Sunday law.
Nnwale nke imepụta onyinyo anụ ọhịa ahụ bụ, dịka o dịkwa n’akụkụ ahịrị esemokwu isii ndị ọzọ, nnwale gbasara isiokwu amụma nke Rome. Nnukwu nnwale nke na-eme tupu e mechie ndị nke Chineke akara bụ banyere imepụta onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa Rom ahụ. Anụ ọhịa ahụ bụ ike papal, ma United States na-emeputa onyinyo nke ike papal ka ọ na-aga n’ihu ruo n’iwu Ụka na-abịa n’oge na-adịghị anya.
“In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.” The Great Controversy, 443.
“Iji ka United States wee mepụta onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ, ike okpukpe ga-achịkwa ọchịchị obodo nke ọma nke mere na a ga-ejikwa ikike nke steeti, sitekwa n’aka ụka, mezuo nzube nke ya.” The Great Controversy, 443.
That Sunday law in the United States identifies that the image of the beast has been fully formed in the United States.
Iwu Sọnde ahụ dị na United States na-egosi na e mepụtara onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ nke ọma n’uju na United States.
“But in the very act of enforcing a religious duty by secular power, the churches would themselves form an image to the beast; hence the enforcement of Sundaykeeping in the United States would be an enforcement of the worship of the beast and his image.” The Great Controversy, 449.
“Ma n’ime nnọọ omume ahụ nke iji ike ọchịchị ụwa mee ka a rube isi n’ọrụ okpukpe, ụka dị iche iche ga-emepụta ihe oyiyi nye anụ ọhịa ahụ n’onwe ha; ya mere, ime ka a debe Ụbọchị Sọnde na United States ga-abụ ime ka e fee anụ ọhịa ahụ na ihe oyiyi ya ofufe.” The Great Controversy, 449.
At the Sunday law the image of the beast has been fully formed in the United States, and the United States is then fully disconnected from God and it begins its prophetic work of forcing the entire world to form an image of the beast. At the Sunday law in the United States Satan begins his marvelous work in leading the nations of the world to repeat the process of forming an image of the beast that encompasses all the nations of the world.
N’oge iwu Sọnde, a ga-abụwo kpụrụ oyiyi nke anụ ọhịa ahụ n’uzuzu ya n’ime United States, ma n’oge ahụ United States ga-abụwo kewapụrụ kpamkpam n’ebe Chineke nọ, ọ ga-amalitekwa ọrụ amụma ya nke ime ka ụwa nile kpụọ oyiyi nke anụ ọhịa ahụ.

“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.
“Site n’iwu e nyere n’iwu na-amanye idobe ụlọọrụ nke Pọp n’ime mmebi iwu Chineke, mba anyị ga-ekewapụ onwe ya kpamkpam n’ezi omume.

At the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, Satan, in cooperation with the United States, will force every nation to follow the example of the United States in forming a church and state system, and enforcing Sunday worship.
N’iwu Sọnde nke na-abịanụ n’oge na-adịghị anya na United States, Setan, n’ịrụkọ ọrụ ọnụ na United States, ga-amanye mba niile ka ha soro ihe atụ nke United States n’ịkpụpụta usoro ụka na ọchịchị, nakwa n’ime ka ife ofufe ụbọchị Sọnde bụrụ iwu.
“Satan will work the miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.
“Setan ga-arụ ọrụ ebube ndị ahụ iji duhie ndị bi n’elu ụwa. Ime mmụọ ga-arụ ọrụ ya site n’ime ka e were ndị nwụrụ anwụ dochie anya.

“‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.
“‘O nwere mpi abụọ dị ka nwa atụrụ, o wee kwuo okwu dịka dragọn.’ N’agbanyeghị na ha na-ekwupụta na ha bụ ndị na-eso Nwa Atụrụ nke Chineke, ụmụ mmadụ na-ejupụta n’mmụọ dragọn ahụ.

“If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘He causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘He had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ekwenyeghị ịzọda n’okpuru ụkwụ iwu nile nke Chineke, a na-ekpughe mmụọ nke dragọn ahụ. A na-atụ ha mkpọrọ, a na-ebute ha n’ihu ndị kansụl, a na-akwụkwa ha ụgwọ ntaramahụhụ. ‘Ọ na-eme ka mmadụ niile, ma ndị nta ma ndị ukwu, ma ndị ọgaranya ma ndị ogbenye, ma ndị nwere onwe ha ma ndị ohu, nata akara n’aka nri ha, ma ọ bụ n’egedege ihu ha’ [Mkpughe 13:16]. ‘E nyekwara ya ike inye onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ ndụ, ka onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ wee kwuo okwu, meekwa ka a gbuo ndị niile na-agaghị akpọ isiala nye onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ’ [amaokwu 15]. N’ụzọ dị otú a, Setan na-anara onwe ya ikike pụrụ iche nke Jehova. Nwoke mmehie ahụ nọ ọdụ n’oche Chineke, na-ekwusa onwe ya ịbụ Chineke, ma na-eme ihe dị n’elu Chineke.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.
The papal power is the beast, the United Nations is the dragon and the United States is the false prophet. Those who become confused on the meaning of antichrist, who is both Satan and Satan’s earthly representative, the pope of Rome, will end up on the side of antichrist.
Ike nke papal bụ anụ ọhịa ahụ, United Nations bụ dragọn ahụ, ma United States bụ onye amụma ụgha ahụ. Ndị na-enwe mgbagwoju anya n’ihe antichrist pụtara, onye bụ ma Setan ma onye nnọchi anya Setan n’ụwa, pope nke Rome, ga-emecha nọ n’akụkụ antichrist.
The United States is not the man of sin. The man of sin is the antichrist and he is Satan’s earthly representative. To confuse the power that places the papacy on the throne of the earth with the papacy is represented by Paul as evidence of not loving the truth. To reject the prophetic relationship of pagan Rome who restrained the papal power, until pagan Rome was removed, in order for the papal power to be revealed, as set forth in Second Thessalonians chapter two, is to reject the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and accept the outpouring of the unholy spirit, which Paul identifies as strong delusion. That being said, each of the ancient prophets spoke more directly of the last days than the days in which they lived.
United States abụghị nwoke nke mmehie. Nwoke nke mmehie ahụ bụ onye na-emegide Kraịst, ọ bụkwa onye nnọchi anya Setan n’ụwa.

“Each of the ancient prophets spoke less for their own time than for ours, so that their prophesying is in force for us. ‘Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ 1 Corinthians 10:11. ‘Not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.’ 1 Peter 1:12. . . .
“Onye ọ bụla n’ime ndị amụma oge ochie ekwughị okwu nke ukwuu maka oge nke ha karịa maka oge anyị, nke mere na amụma ha ka dị irè nye anyị. ‘Ma ihe ndị a niile mere ha dịka ihe atụ: e dekwara ha maka ịdọ aka ná ntị anyị, ndị ọgwụgwụ nke ụwa bịakwutere.’ 1 Ndị Kọrint 10:11. ‘Ọ bụghị nye onwe ha, kama ọ bụ nye anyị ka ha ji eje ozi n’ihe ndị ahụ, nke ugbu a ka ndị kwusara unu ozi-ọma site n’aka Mmụọ Nsọ e si n’eluigwe zite, kọọrọ unu; ihe ndị a bụ ndị mmụọ ozi na-achọsi ike ileba anya n’ime ha.’ 1 Pita 1:12....”
“The Bible has accumulated and bound up together its treasures for this last generation. All the great events and solemn transactions of Old Testament history have been, and are, repeating themselves in the church in these last days.” Selected Messages, book 3, 338, 339.
“Akwụkwọ Nsọ achịkọtala ma kekọtakwaa ọnụ akụ ya niile maka ọgbọ ikpeazụ a. Ihe omume ukwu niile na omume dị nsọ nke akụkọ ihe mere eme nke Agba Ochie abụwo, ma na-abụkwa, ihe a na-emegharị n’ime chọọchị n’ụbọchị ikpeazụ ndị a.” Selected Messages, book 3, 338, 339.
Pagan Rome and the man of sin in Second Thessalonians represents the United States and papal Rome of the last days. To misunderstand this truth is to demonstrate, among other things, that even if a person claims to be basing their private interpretation upon the principle of “type and antitype,” they actually do not understand “type and antitype.” The United States has been typified by several powers in sacred history. Every two-horned power represents the United States in the last days, whether it be the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel, the Medo-Persian Empire, or atheistic France represented by Sodom and Egypt.
Rom na-ekpere arụsị na nwoke nke mmehie a kpọrọ aha n’Akwụkwọ Nsọ nke Abụọ Ndị Tesalonaịka na-anọchi anya United States na Rom ndị poopu nke ụbọchị ikpeazụ.

The period when the United States forms an image of and to the beast has been typified by the iron and clay of Daniel two, and the little horn that manifests as male and female in Daniel eight as well as the prophets of Baal and priests of the grove in the witness of Elijah at Mount Carmel. Salome typifies the United States in the witness of Herod’s drunken birthday party. Pergamos typifies the United States and identifies the compromise that leads to Thyatira, which typifies the papal power of the last days.
Oge ahụ mgbe United States ga-akpụ onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ ma nye ya nsọpụrụ, e gosipụtala ya n’ụdị ígwè na ụrọ nke Daniel isi nke abụọ, na mpi nta ahụ nke na-apụta dịka nwoke na nwanyị na Daniel isi nke asatọ, yana ndị amụma Bel na ndị nchụàjà nke ogige arụsị n’akaebe Ịlaịja n’Ugwu Kamel.

Clovis, king of the Franks in 496, typifies the United States in the Ronald Reagan era. Justinian in 533 represents Donald Trump in advance of the Sunday law. In each typification the United States represents the power that bows in submission to the papal power of the last days. The power who bows in submission is represented as paying homage to Rome. The act of ‘homage” includes bowing to the king, who is the head.

“It has been shown that the United States is the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns, and that this prophecy will be fulfilled when the United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy. But in this homage to the papacy the United States will not be alone. The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her dominion is still far from being destroyed. And prophecy foretells a restoration of her power. ‘I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.’ Verse 3. The infliction of the deadly wound points to the downfall of the papacy in 1798.
“E gosiwo na United States bụ ike ahụ a na-anọchi anya ya site n’anụ ọhịa nke nwere mpi dịka nke nwa atụrụ, nakwa na amụma a ga-emezu mgbe United States ga-amanye idebe ụbọchị Sọnde, nke Rome na-ekwu na ọ bụ nnabata pụrụ iche nke ọchịchị kasị elu ya.

Ibutere ọnya ahụ na-egbu egbu na-ezo aka n’ịda nke ọchịchị popu na 1798.
After this, says the prophet, ‘his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.’ Paul states plainly that the ‘man of sin’ will continue until the second advent. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8. To the very close of time he will carry forward the work of deception. And the revelator declares, also referring to the papacy: ‘All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life.’ Revelation 13:8. In both the Old and the New World, the papacy will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution, that rests solely upon the authority of the Roman Church.” The Great Controversy, 578.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ka onye amụma ahụ kwuru, “a gwọrọ ọnya ya na-egbu egbu: ụwa nile wee ju anya soro anụ ọhịa ahụ.” Pọl na-ekwupụta n’ụzọ doro anya na “nwoke mmehie” ahụ ga-adịgide ruo n’ọbịbịa nke abụọ. 2 Ndị Tesalonaịka 2:3-8.

The last sentence provides more evidence that Sister White understood the expression, “old world” to represent Europe, and the “new world” to represent the Americas. That being as it is, the United States that pays homage to the papal power and forces the rest of the world to do the same. This identifies the United States as in subjection to the directions of the papal power. Isaiah’s identification and emphasis upon understanding the “head” in order to be established finds its divine purpose in that the symbol “head,” becomes a key to understand the external line of prophecy, and also the internal line of prophecy.

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.
N’ihi na isi Siria bụ Damaskọs, isi Damaskọs bụkwa Rezin; ma n’ime afọ iri isii na ise, a ga-agbaji Ifrem, ka ọ ghara ịbụ ndị mmadụ. Isi Ifrem bụkwa Sameria, isi Sameria bụkwa nwa Remalaịa. Ọ bụrụ na unu ekweghị, n’ezie, a gaghị eme ka unu guzosie ike. Aịsaịa 7:8, 9.
In the last days, which is when every prophet’s testimony is in force, the “robbers of thy people” establish the vision. Upon the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy, and in agreement with the foundational truths of Adventism, as represented upon the two sacred charts of Habakkuk, the “robbers,” are a symbol of Rome. When pagan Rome inserted itself into history for the first time in 200 BC, they typified modern Rome of the last days. This prophetic truth is what establishes the prophetic vision of the last days, and if you refuse to see that modern Rome’s “head” is the papal power, then surely you will not be established.

“Ụwa jupụtara n’oke ifufe na agha na esemokwu. Ma n’okpuru otu isi—ike papal—ndị mmadụ ga-ejikọta onwe ha imegide Chineke n’ime mmadụ nke ndị àmà Ya.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.
If you have ears to hear, then you may understand that a primary failing of the Jews of Christ’s era was that they identified the “shadow” as the “substance.” The Jews before and after the cross trusted in the types of their system of worship, and rejected the Antitype. They argued that the “shadow” was the “substance”, and in doing so they left in the inspired record, a people in the last days who will also identify the shadow as the substance.
Ọ bụrụ na unu nwere ntị ịnụ, mgbe ahụ unu pụrụ ịghọta na otu isi ọdịda nke ndị Juu n’oge Kraịst bụ na ha kpọrọ “onyinyo” ahụ “ezigbo ihe” ahụ.

When the United States forms an image to the beast, they are forming a shadow of the beast. They are forming a shadow of the substance, for an image is a typification. To identify the United States, when it forms the image of the beast, as the symbol of Modern Rome, is to parallel ancient Israel’s rejection and crucifixion of the Great Antitype.
Mgbe United States mepụtara oyiyi nye anụ ọhịa ahụ, ha na-emepụta onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ. Ha na-emepụta onyinyo nke ihe ahụ n’onwe ya, n’ihi na oyiyi bụ ihe nnọchianya atụ.

Those teaching the flawed view that the United States is the robbers of thy people speak much about their use of type and antitype, and they often identify the United States as the image of the beast and somehow think that by identifying the United States as the image of the beast somehow proves the United States is “the robbers.” If they truly allowed themselves to be governed by the basic principles of “type and antitype” they would quickly see that the prophetic role of the United States which has been repeatedly typified in God’s word identifies the United States as the power that is in subjection to the papal authority. They would see that without the beast as the point of reference, it is absurd to identify an image to the beast that did not exist. The only thing which can define the image of the beast, is the beast itself, for the papal power is what establishes the image in the looking glass vision.

The parallel line of prophecy to the United States forming an image of the beast is when the horn of true Protestantism forms an image of Christ. That formation is specifically identified in Daniel chapter ten, when Daniel beholds the “marah,” vision, which is the “looking glass” vision. Daniel represents those who behold Christ, and in so doing they reflect Christ’s character. If the vision of Christ was not presented to Daniel, he would have been unable to reflect the character of Christ. In order for the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are represented by Daniel in chapter ten of forming an image of Christ within, they must behold His character. By beholding they are changed.
Ahịrị amụma nke kwekọrọ na nke na-ekwu maka United States imepụta oyiyi nke anụ ọhịa ahụ bụ mgbe mpi nke ezi Protestantism na-emepụta oyiyi nke Kraịst. A kọwara mmepụta ahụ kpọmkwem na Daniel isi nke iri, mgbe Daniel hụrụ “marah,” ọhụ, nke bụ ọhụ “enyo.” Daniel nọchiri anya ndị na-ele Kraịst anya, ma n’ime ime otú ahụ ha na-egosipụta agwa Kraịst. Ọ bụrụ na e meghị ka e gosipụta ọhụ nke Kraịst nye Daniel, ọ gaghị enwe ike igosipụta agwa Kraịst.

Site n’ile Ya anya ka a na-agbanwe ha.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18.
Ma anyị niile, ebe e wepụrụ ihe mkpuchi n’ihu anyị, na-ele dịka n’enyo ebube nke Onyenwe anyị, a na-agbanwekwa anyị ka anyị bụrụ otu onyinyo ahụ site n’ebube ruo n’ebube, dịka site n’Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị. 2 Ndị Kọrịnt 3:18.
The Hebrew definition of the “marah” vision which Daniel beheld in chapter ten is “a vision; also (causatively) a mirror: —looking glass, vision.” The Greek word translated as glass in the previous verse is to mirror oneself, that is, to see reflected (figuratively): —behold as in a glass.
Nkọwa Hibru nke ọhụụ “marah” nke Daniel hụrụ n’isi nke iri bụ “ọhụụ; kwa (n’ụzọ na-akpata ya) enyo: —enyo ile anya, ọhụụ.” Okwu Grik a sụgharịrị dị ka enyo n’amaokwu gara aga pụtara ile onwe onye anya n’enyo, ya bụ, ịhụ ihe a na-egosipụta azụ (n’ụzọ ihe atụ): —ile anya dịka n’enyo.
James also sets forth a line of truth connected with the looking glass.
Jems na-akọwakwara otu ahịrị eziokwu metụtara enyo.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 1:23–25.
N’ihi na ọ bụrụ na onye ọ bụla bụ onye na-anụ okwu ahụ, ma ọ bụghị onye na-eme ya, ọ dị ka mmadụ na-ele ihu ọdịdị ya n’enyo: n’ihi na ọ na-ele onwe ya, wee laa ụzọ ya, ozugbo ahụ o chefuo ụdị mmadụ ọ bụ. Ma onye ọbụla nke na-elebanye anya n’iwu zuru okè nke nnwere onwe, ma nọgide n’ime ya, onye a ebe ọ bụghị onye na-anụ ma chefuo, kama onye na-eme ọrụ ahụ, a ga-agọzi nwoke a n’omume ya. Jems 1:23–25.
If we love the truth, and we are therefore a doer of the Word, then the looking glass we behold is the perfect law of liberty, then if we do not love the truth, and thereafter go our own way, as those with Daniel did when they fled, then the looking glass is simply a reflection of ourselves.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị ahụ eziokwu n’anya, ma bụrụkwa ya mere ndị na-eme Okwu ahụ, mgbe ahụ enyo anyị na-ele bụ iwu zuru okè nke nnwere onwe; ma ọ bụrụ na anyị ahụghị eziokwu n’anya, ma emesịa soro ụzọ nke anyị, dịka ndị ahụ ha na Daniel nọ mere mgbe ha gbapụrụ ọsọ, mgbe ahụ enyo ahụ bụ naanị ngosipụta nke onwe anyị.
“God’s law is the mirror presenting a complete reflection of the man as he is, and holding up before him the correct likeness. Some will turn away and forget this picture, while others will employ abusive epithets against the law, as though this would cure their defects of character. Still others who are condemned by the law will repent of their transgressions and, through faith in Christ’s merits, will perfect Christian character.” Faith and Works, 31.
“Iwu Chineke bụ enyo nke na-egosi onyonyo zuru oke nke mmadụ dịka ọ dị, ma na-ebuli n’ihu ya oyiyi ziri ezi. Ụfọdụ ga-esi n’ebe ahụ pụọ ma chefuo ihe oyiyi a, ebe ndị ọzọ ga-eji aha mkparị kwuo iwu ahụ, dị ka a ga-asị na nke a ga-agwọ ntụpọ dị n’agwa ha. Ma ndị ọzọkwa, ndị iwu ahụ mara ikpe, ga-echegharị maka mmehie ha, ma site n’okwukwe n’uru Kraịst, ha ga-eme ka agwa Onye Kraịst zuo oke.” Faith and Works, 31.
Daniel did not see himself in the looking glass vision, He saw Christ, who is the perfect representation of James’ perfect law of liberty.
Daniel ahụghị onwe ya n’ọhụụ enyo ahụ; ọ hụrụ Kraịst, Onye bụ nnọchite zuru oke nke iwu zuru oke nke nnwere onwe nke Jemis.
“Christ’s life on earth is a perfect reflection of the divine law. In Him is life and hope and light. Behold Him, and you will be changed into the same likeness, from character to character.” Signs of the Times, May 10, 1910.
“Ndụ Kraịst n’elu ụwa bụ ngosipụta zuru oke nke iwu nsọ ahụ. N’ime Ya ka ndụ na olileanya na ìhè dị. Lezienụ Ya anya, a ga-agbanwekwa unu ka unu bụrụ n’otu oyiyi ahụ, site n’àgwà ruo n’àgwà.” Signs of the Times, May 10, 1910.
The image of the beast reflects the beast, and the formation of the image of the beast is the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. When the Protestant churches take control of the government of the United States, they will have formed an image of the church state system which the papal power has always employed. In the same period of time the image of Christ will be produced into His last-day people. Yet, those that were with Daniel saw not the vision, for they fled from the vision.
Onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ na-egosipụta anụ ọhịa ahụ, ma imepụta onyinyo nke anụ ọhịa ahụ bụ nnukwu ule maka ndị nke Chineke, nke a ga-ekpebi site na ya ebe ebighị ebi ha ga-adị. Mgbe ụka Protestant ga-achịkwa ọchịchị nke United States, ha gaara emepụtala onyinyo nke usoro ụka na steeti nke ike papal ji eme ihe mgbe niile. N’otu oge ahụ ka a ga-emepụta onyinyo nke Kraịst n’ime ndị Ya nke ụbọchị ikpeazụ. Ma ndị ahụ nọnyere Daniel ahụghị ọhụụ ahụ, n’ihi na ha gbapụrụ n’ihu ọhụụ ahụ.
The formation of the image of Christ produces a manifestation of two classes of worshippers. One class rejects the principle of reflection. The principle of reflection being represented by a mirror, for Christ employs the literal earthly things to represent spiritual heavenly truths.
Ịkpụpụta onyinyo nke Kraịst na-amụpụta ngosipụta nke ụdị abụọ nke ndị na-efe ofufe. Otu ụdị na-ajụ ụkpụrụ nke ntụgharị uche. A na-anọchi anya ụkpụrụ nke ntụgharị uche ahụ site n’enyo, n’ihi na Kraịst na-eji ihe nkịtị nke ụwa a na-ahụ anya anọchi anya eziokwu ime mmụọ nke eluigwe.
“In Christ’s parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ’s teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.
“N’ozizi ilu nke Kraịst, a hụrụ otu ụkpụrụ ahụ a hụrụ n’ozi nke Ya n’onwe ya nye ụwa. Ka anyị wee mata agwa na ndụ nke Ya dị nsọ, Kraịst were ọdịdị anyị wee biri n’etiti anyị. E kpughere chi n’ime mmadụ; ebube ahụ a na-apụghị ịhụ anya n’ụdị mmadụ a pụrụ ịhụ anya. Ndị mmadụ pụrụ ịmụta banyere ihe a na-amaghị site n’ihe a maara; e kpughere ihe nke eluigwe site n’ihe nke ụwa; e mere ka Chineke pụta ìhè n’oyiyi mmadụ. Otu a ka ọ dịkwa n’ozizi Kraịst: a kọwara ihe a na-amaghị site n’ihe a maara; eziokwu dị nsọ site n’ihe nke ụwa nke ndị mmadụ kacha mara nke ọma.”
“The Scripture says, ‘All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; … that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.’ Matthew 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 17.
“Akwụkwọ Nsọ na-asị, ‘Jizọs gwara ìgwè mmadụ ahụ okwu ndị a niile n’ụfọdụ ilu; … ka e wee mezuo ihe e kwuru site n’ọnụ onye amụma, sị, Aga m emeghe ọnụ M n’ilu; aga m ekwupụta ihe ndị e zoro ezo kemgbe tọrọ ntọala ụwa.’ Matiu 13:34, 35. Ihe ndị sitere n’okike bụ ụzọ e si egosi nke ime mmụọ; e jikọtara ihe ndị sitere n’okike na ahụmahụ ndụ nke ndị na-ege Ya ntị na eziokwu nke okwu ahụ e dere ede. N’ịdu ha otu a site n’ihe nke okike banye n’alaeze nke ime mmụọ, ilu Kraịst bụ njikọ dị n’usoro eziokwu ahụ nke na-eme ka mmadụ na Chineke, na ụwa na eluigwe, bụrụ otu.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 17.
The spiritual principle of reflection is accomplished by looking into a mirror that represents Christ, and because the “marah” vision is a causative vision, the image of Christ in the mirror, produces the image of Christ in humanity.
A na-emezu ụkpụrụ ime mmụọ nke ngosipụta site n’ile anya n’enyo nke na-anọchi anya Kraịst, ma n’ihi na ọhụụ “marah” bụ ọhụụ na-akpata ihe, onyinyo Kraịst dị n’enyo ahụ na-emepụta onyinyo Kraịst n’ime mmadụ.
To claim the United States is what establishes the vision, is to claim that the image of Daniel is what establishes Christ. Christ is what establishes the vision of His character and work, and the antichrist is what establishes the vision of his character and work. The vision is what is reflected with the looking glass, and the vision is established by the robbers. To misunderstand an image of a beast, by identifying the image as the actual beast, produces parallel lines.
Ikwu na United States bụ ihe na-eme ka ọhụụ ahụ guzobe, bụ ikwu na oyiyi ahụ nke Daniel bụ ihe na-eme ka Kraịst guzobe. Kraịst bụ ihe na-eme ka ọhụụ nke agwa Ya na ọrụ Ya guzobe, ma onye ahụ na-emegide Kraịst bụ ihe na-eme ka ọhụụ nke agwa ya na ọrụ ya guzobe. Ọhụụ ahụ bụ ihe a na-egosipụta site n’enyo, ma ọhụụ ahụ ka ndị ohi na-eme ka o guzobe.

The unconverted man sees himself in the mirror, or if he does see God’s law, he throws contempt upon the law in an attempt to avoid its claims. A converted man sees Christ and His law in the looking glass. The United States forms an image to the papal power by beholding the papal power and duplicating it. The antichrist is duplicated by the United States.

Lucifer desired to be seated upon God’s political and religious thrones.
Lusifa chọsiri ike ịnọdụ n’ocheeze ndọrọ ndọrọ ọchịchị na nke okpukpe nke Chineke.
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. Ezekiel 14:12–14.
Lee ka i si dapụ n’eluigwe, O Lusifa, nwa nke ụtụtụ! Lee ka e si gbuda gị ala n’ala, gị onye na-eme ka mba dị iche iche bụrụ ndị na-adịghị ike!

Ezekiel 14:12–14.
Satan is the antichrist, and so too is the papal power. The papal power was seated in the church and reigned over the political thrones of Europe. The causative looking glass of Daniel chapter ten, when seen in its spiritual application, transforms those who behold into the image of Christ. That truth governs the line of the antichrist. When a nation or an individual looks into the looking glass vision it produces a causative effect, as it reproduces its image in either the individual or nation who beholds it and that produces either the image of Christ or the image of the beast. It parallels the same effect represented by Daniel. Christ is what established the vision for Daniel, and the antichrist establishes the vision for the United States when it forms an image of the beast.
