The prophetic characteristic of the dragon is confederation, as identified by Isaiah.

Ciri kenabian saka naga iku konfederasi, kaya dene wis ditemtokake déning Yesaya.

Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:9–16.

Padha nglumpukana kowe, he para bangsa, lan kowe bakal diremuk pecah; lan rungokna, he kabeh wong saka nagara-nagara kang adoh: padha ngencengana sabukmu, lan kowe bakal diremuk pecah; padha ngencengana sabukmu, lan kowe bakal diremuk pecah. Padha rembugana bebarengan, nanging iku bakal dadi tanpa guna; pocapa pangandika iku, nanging ora bakal lestari: amarga Allah nunggil karo kita. Awit Sang Yehuwah ngandika mangkene marang aku kalawan astaning kakuwatan, lan Panjenengane maringi pitutur marang aku supaya aku aja lumaku manut dalane bangsa iki, pangandikane, Aja padha ngucap, Prajanjian, marang kabeh wong kang dening bangsa iki diucapi, Prajanjian; lan aja padha wedi marang apa kang padha diwedeni déning wong-wong iku, lan aja padha giris. Sucèkna Sang Yehuwah Gustining sarwa tumitah piyambak; lan muga Panjenengane dadi kang kokwedeni, lan muga Panjenengane dadi kang kokgirisani. Lan Panjenengane bakal dadi papan kasucèn; nanging uga dadi watu sandhungan lan parang panjegal tumrap loro-loroning brayat Israèl, dadi jerat lan dadi kalam tumrap para pedunung Yerusalem. Lan akèh ana ing antarané wong-wong mau bakal kesandhung, lan tiba, lan remuk, lan kacekel ing jerat, lan katangkep. Gulungen paseksèn iku, segelen angger-angger ana ing antaraning para sakabateku. Yesaya 8:9–16.

In the last days, in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, when Isaiah says, “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples,” there is an “evil confederacy” on planet earth. It is important to understand that the history of the United States leading to the Sunday law is prefiguring the same events on the global level.

Ing dina-dina pungkasan, ing mangsa panyegelan tumrap satus patang puluh papat èwu, nalika Yesaya ngandika, “Iketana paseksèn iku, segela angger-angger ana ing antaraning para sakabat-Ku,” ana sawijining “pakempalan ala” ana ing planit bumi. Wigati banget kanggo mangertèni yèn sajarahing Amerika Sarékat sing nuntun marang angger-angger Minggu iku dadi pralambang sadurungé tumrap prastawa-prastawa kang padha ing tataran global.

“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

“Bangsa-bangsa manca bakal ngetutaké tuladha Amerika Sarékat. Sanadyan dhèwèké mimpin luwih dhisik, nanging krisis kang padha bakal tumiba marang umat kita ing kabèh péranganing donya.” Testimonies, jilid 6, 395.

Sister White carefully identifies who the “evil confederacy” is, and it represents the progressive liberalism of the modern globalists. As she does so, she repeatedly quotes the previous verses in Isaiah, which identify an evil confederacy during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Suster White kanthi teliti nemtokake sapa kang sinebut “evil confederacy” iku, lan iku nggambarake liberalisme progresif saka para globalis modern. Nalika dheweke nindakake mangkono, dheweke bola-bali ngutip ayat-ayat sadurunge ing kitab Yesaya, kang ngenali sawijining konfederasi ala sajrone mangsa panyegelan tumrap wong satus patang puluh papat ewu.

“The Lord declares through the prophet Isaiah: Isaiah 8:9–13 quoted.

“Pangéran ngandika lumantar nabi Yesaya: Yesaya 8:9–13 dipunpetik.”

“There are those who question whether it is right for Christians to belong to the Free Masons and other secret societies. Let all such consider the scriptures just quoted. If we are Christians at all, we must be Christians everywhere, and must consider and heed the counsel given to make us Christians according to the standard of God’s Word.” Evangelism, 617, 618.

“Ana wong-wong kang pitakon apa pantes tumrap tiyang Kristen dadi anggota Free Masons lan paguyuban-paguyuban rahasia liyane. Kabeh wong mangkono iku padha nimbangna Kitab Suci kang nembe kapethik mau. Manawa kita tenan tiyang Kristen, kita kudu dadi tiyang Kristen ing endi wae, lan kudu nggatekake sarta mituhu marang pitutur kang kaparingake supaya kita dadi tiyang Kristen miturut paugeraning Sabda Allah.” Evangelism, 617, 618.

The evil confederacy of the last days is associated with Freemasons, and other secret societies. Its religion is spiritualism, and it is made up of the world bankers and the billionaire merchants of the earth, who “centralize the wealth and power of the world,” and who promote such movements as Antifa and Black Lives Matter to foment “the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed” on a “world-wide scale,” in an effort to reproduce the anarchy of the “French Revolution.”

Konfederasi ala piala ing dina-dina wekasan kagandhèng karo kaum Freemason, lan uga paguyuban-paguyuban rahasia liyané. Agamané yaiku spiritualisme, lan dumadi saka para bankir donya lan para sudagar bumi kang miliarder, kang “ngonsentrasi kasugihan lan kakuwasan donya,” lan kang nyengkuyung gerakan-gerakan kayata Antifa lan Black Lives Matter kanggo nuwuhaké “roh ora tentrem, kerusuhan lan tumpahing getih” ing skala “saindenging jagad,” minangka upaya kanggo ngasilaké manèh anarki saka “Revolusi Prancis.”

“Spiritualism asserts that men are unfallen demigods; that ‘each mind will judge itself;’ that ‘true knowledge places men above all law;’ that ‘all sins committed are innocent;’ for ‘whatever is, is right,’ and ‘God doth not condemn.’ The basest of human beings it represents as in heaven, and highly exalted there. Thus it declares to all men, ‘It matters not what you do; live as you please, heaven is your home.’ Multitudes are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that license is liberty, and that man is accountable only to himself.

“Spiritualisme negesake manawa manungsa iku semi-déwa sing ora tiba; manawa ‘saben pikiran bakal ngadili awaké dhéwé’; manawa ‘kawruh sejati ndadekake manungsa ana ing sadhuwuring sakehing angger-angger’; manawa ‘kabeh dosa sing ditindakaké iku tanpa kaluputan’; awit ‘apa waé kang ana, iku bener,’ lan ‘Allah ora ngukum.’ Manungsa sing paling asor lan nistha dipratelakaké ana ing swarga, lan ing kana banget kaluhuraké. Mangkono iku mratelakaké marang kabèh manungsa, ‘Ora dadi prakara apa sing koktindakaké; uripa miturut sakarepmu, swarga iku omahmu.’ Mangkono akèh wong katuntun supaya pracaya manawa pepénginan iku angger-angger kang paling dhuwur, manawa kalonggaran tanpa wates iku kabébasan, lan manawa manungsa mung tanggung jawab marang awaké dhéwé.”

“With such teaching given at the very outset of life, when impulse is strongest, and the demand for self-restraint and purity is most urgent, where are the safeguards of virtue? what is to prevent the world from becoming a second Sodom? At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France.” Education, 227, 228.

“Kanthi piwulang kang kaya mangkono diwènèhaké wiwit ing wiwitaning urip, nalika dorongan hawa-nepsu paling kuwat, lan tuntutan tumrap pangendhalèn dhiri lan kasucèn paling nggentingaké, ana ing ngendi pangayomaning kautaman? apa kang bakal nyegah jagad iki supaya ora dadi Sodom kapindho? Ing wektu kang padha, anarkhi ngupaya mbubaraké sakehing angger-angger, ora mung kang ilahi, nanging uga kang manungsa. Pemusatan kasugihan lan kakuwasan; paseduluran gedhé-gedhéan kanggo ngugihaké wong sathithik kanthi ngorbanaké wong akèh; paseduluraning golongan wong miskin kanggo mbélani kapentingan lan tuntutané; rohing ora tentrem, kerusuhan, lan tetesan getih; panyebaran piwulang-piwulang kang padha, ing saindenging jagad, kang nuntun marang Revolusi Prancis—kabèh mau padha nuju nyeret jagad kabèh mlebu ing sawijining pasulayan kang padha karo kang natoni Prancis.” Education, 227, 228.

Any thoughtful person should ask themselves what goes on at meetings such as recently took place at Davos, where men express their plans for planet earth without any consideration of the rest of earth’s population? What secrets were there discussed? Of course, Davos is simply one of several secret restricted meetings of the world’s billionaires, bankers, corrupted politicians and morally perverse men who develop their exalted plans for planet earth.

Saben wong sing mikir kanthi temenan kuduné takon marang awaké dhéwé apa sing lumaku ing patemon-patemon kaya kang bubar kadadéan ing Davos, ing ngendi para manungsa ngandharaké rancangan-rancangané tumrap planit bumi tanpa ana tetimbangan bab sisaning populasi bumi? Rahasia apa waé kang dirembug ana ing kono? Mesthi waé, Davos mung salah siji saka sawetara patemon rahasia kang winates, papan para miliarder donya, para bankir, para politisi kang korup, lan para priya kang rusak moralé nyusun rancangan-rancangané kang diunggul-unggulaké tumrap planit bumi.

“In these last days, there are arising strange fallacies and man-made theories which God declares shall be broken in pieces. The spirit of covetousness has led men to seek worldly advantage, and by extravagance and display they have tried to hide their wicked deeds which they have done in order to reach their object. Men occupying high positions of trust have revealed this unlawful desire for gain; they have practised extortion and robbery, and have gratified the evil passions of their hearts, until our cities are corrupted through their wickedness. God has declared that he will uncover these works of deceit and robbery by their own working. In some cases the judgments of God have already fallen heavily on these cities.

“Ing dina-dina wekasan iki, lagi njedhul kasalahan-kasalahan aneh lan teori-teori gawéan manungsa kang dipratelakake déning Allah bakal diremuk dadi pecahan-pecahan. Roh srakah wis nuntun manungsa ngudi kauntungan kadonyan, lan kanthi kemewahan lan pamér, wong-wong iku wis nyoba ndhelikake tumindak-tumindak ala kang wis ditindakaké supaya bisa nggayuh ancasé. Wong-wong kang nyekel kalungguhan dhuwur kang kebak kapercayan wis mbabar pepénginan nggolèki bathi kang tanpa ukum iki; wong-wong iku wis nindakaké pemerasan lan panjarahan, lan wis maremaké hawa nepsu ala saka atiné, nganti kutha-kutha kita dadi rusak déning pialané. Allah wis mratelakake yèn Panjenengané bakal mbukak tumindak-tumindak cidra lan panjarahan iki lumantar pakaryané dhéwé. Ing sawatara kedadéan, paukumané Allah wis tumiba kanthi abot marang kutha-kutha iki.”

“Isaiah 8:8–12 quoted.” Review and Herald, July 18, 1907.

“Yésaya 8:8–12 dipunpetik.” Review and Herald, 18 Juli 1907.

The cities have been corrupted, as predicted in the previous passage, and that corruption is brought about by the evil confederacy of Isaiah chapter eight. They have been corrupted by, “men occupying high positions of trust” who “have revealed” their “unlawful desire for gain.” The corrupted cities are easily seen in states whose attorney generals have been elected by the funds of communists such as George Soros. It can be seen when established laws go un-enforced by corrupted politicians in Washington, DC. It can be seen by laws which are only employed against those on the other side of the political spectrum, as illustrated by persons such as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.

Kutha-kutha iku wus dadi rusak, kaya kang wis dipratelakaké ana ing pethikan sadurungé, lan karusakan iku kalakon déning pasamuan duraka saka Yesaya bab wolu. Kutha-kutha iku wis dirusak déning, “wong-wong kang mapan ana ing kalenggahan kapitadosan kang luhur” kang “wis nglairaké” “pepénginané kang ora sah marang kauntungan.” Kutha-kutha kang rusak iku gampang katon ana ing nagara-nagara bagéyan kang para jaksa agungé kapilih déning dana saka para komunis kayata George Soros. Prakara iku bisa katon nalika angger-angger kang wis katetepaké ora ditindakaké déning para pulitikus kang wus rusak ing Washington, DC. Prakara iku uga bisa katon lumantar angger-angger kang mung ditrapaké marang wong-wong ing sisih liya saka spektrum pulitik, kaya kang kagambarake déning tokoh-tokoh kayata Nancy Pelosi lan Adam Schiff.

In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isaiah 59:13–15.

Kanthi nglanggar lan ngapusi marang Pangeran Yehuwah, lan nyingkur adoh saka Allah kita, ngucapake panganiaya lan pambrontakan, ngandhut lan nglairake saka sajroning ati tembung-tembung goroh. Lan pangadilan kabuwang menyang mburi, sarta kaadilan ngadeg adoh; amarga kayekten wis rubuh ana ing dalan, lan katulusan ora bisa mlebu. Ya, kayekten sirna; lan wong kang nyingkiri piala ndadekake awake dhewe dadi mangsa; lan Pangeran Yehuwah mirsa iku, lan iku ora ndadekake Panjenengane rena, amarga ora ana pangadilan. Yesaya 59:13–15.

In the previous passage from the Review and Herald, the men who occupy high positions of trust, identifies corrupted politicians whose Wall Street portfolios always exceed the best possible returns, because of their legislative work in legalizing “insider trading” for themselves, and no one else. Review the history of Martha Stewart. The cities in the passage are corrupted through their wickedness, and this is especially apparent in the cities and states governed by the globalist Democrats.

Ing pethikan sadurungé saka Review and Herald, para wong sing manggoni kalenggahan kapitadosan sing dhuwur, nedahaké para pulitikus sing wis rusak, kang portofolio Wall Street-é tansah ngluwihi asil bathi sing paling becik sing bisa digayuh, amarga pakaryan legislatifé ing nglégalaké “insider trading” kanggo awaké dhéwé, lan ora kanggo wong liya. Tinjau manèh sajarah Martha Stewart. Kutha-kutha ing pethikan iku wis rusak marga saka durakané, lan prakara iki katon cetha mligi ing kutha-kutha lan nagara-nagara bagéan sing dipréntah déning para Demokrat globalis.

The evil confederacy in the last days consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, and the beast and false prophet have their own wicked prophetic characteristics, but the characteristics that are so apparent in liberal globalism are the traits of the dragon.

Pasekuton ala ing dina-dina wekasan iku dumadi saka naga, kéwan galak, lan nabi palsu; lan kéwan galak lan nabi palsu iku nduwèni ciri-ciri kenabian ala déwé-dhéwé; nanging ciri-ciri kang cetha banget katon ing globalisme liberal iku yaiku sipat-sipaté naga.

“Revelation 17:13–14 quoted. ‘These have one mind.’ There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan’s forces. ‘And shall give their power and strength unto the beast.’ Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism.

“Wahyu 17:13–14 dipunpetik. ‘Iki padha sapikiran.’ Bakal ana ikatan persatuan kang universal, siji kaselarasan ageng, sawijining konfederasi pasukan-pasukané Iblis. ‘Lan bakal masrahaké kakuwatan lan daya-né marang kéwan kuwi.’ Mangkono katuduhaké kakuwatan kang padha, kang sewenang-wenang lan nindhes marang kamardikan agama, kamardikan kanggo nyembah Allah miturut tuntunaning ati nurani, kaya dene kang katuduhaké déning kepausan, nalika ing jaman kapungkur nganiaya wong-wong kang wani nampik manut marang ritus lan upacara agama Romanisme.”

“In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God’s people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Law-giver identifies Himself as the Creator of the heavens and the earth.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

“Ing peperangan sing bakal katindakake ing dina-dina wekasan, kabeh kakuwatan rusak sing wis murtad saka kasetyan marang angger-anggeré Yéhuwah bakal nyawiji kanggo nglawan umaté Allah. Ing peperangan iki Sabat saka pepakon kaping papat bakal dadi perkara utama sing disengketakaké; awit ing pepakon Sabat, Sang Panyipta Angger-angger Agung mratélakaké Sarirané minangka Pencipta langit lan bumi.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

We will consider the prophetic characteristics of the beast and apostate Protestantism in the following articles. It is important to identify what has been revealed concerning which political party is leading out and pulling the strings in the enforcement of Sunday legislation. Of course, both parties (Democrat and Republican) come together at the Sunday law issue, as did the Pharisees and Sadducees at the cross, but there is no justifiable reason to suggest that the label of Protestant or apostate Protestant can be associated with the Democratic party, for it is clearly the dragon power.

Ing artikel-artikel sabanjuré kita bakal nliti ciri-ciri kenabian saka kéwan lan Protestanisme murtad. Penting kanggo ngenali apa kang wis kawehyakaké ngenani parté pulitik endi sing dadi pelopor lan narik tali ing panglaksanane undhang-undhang Minggu. Mesthi waé, loro-loroné parté (Demokrat lan Republik) padha sesrawungan bebarengan ing prekara undhang-undhang Minggu, kaya déné wong-wong Farisi lan Saduki bebarengan ana ing salib, nanging ora ana alesan kang bisa dibeneraké kanggo nyaranaké yèn sesebutan Protestan utawa Protestan murtad bisa digandhèngaké karo parté Demokrat, awit kanthi cetha iku minangka kakuwasan naga.

The history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the history where Isaiah’s evil confederacy of chapter eight is identified. That history began on September 11, 2001, when the fourth president, Bush the second, was in power. In that history the sixth president would arrive in 2016, and he would awaken (stir up) all the realm of Grecia, for he would awaken the world to the struggle between the dragon power and apostate Protestantism that accomplishes the work of restoring the beast to the throne of the earth.

Sajarahing panyegelanipun wong satus patang puluh papat ewu punika inggih punika sajarah nalika pakempalan piawonipun Yesaya ing pasal wolu dipunidentifikasi. Sajarah punika wiwit ing tanggal 11 September 2001, nalika présidhèn kaping sekawan, Bush ingkang kaping kalih, wonten ing panguwaos. Ing sajarah punika présidhèn kaping enem badhé rawuh ing taun 2016, lan piyambakipun badhé nggentak (nggugah) sadaya wilayah Grecia, awit piyambakipun badhé nggugah jagad dhateng pasulayan antawisipun kakuwatan naga lan Protestanisme murtad ingkang nindakaken pakaryan mulihaké kéwan mau dhateng dhampar bumi.

The blind, unreasoning hatred against Trump is identified by many as a kind of insanity, for it is based on dishonesty and irrational logic. The world attempts to define the unjustifiable hatred for Trump, but the reality is that it is not a straightforward human insanity on the part of the globalists, it is the supernatural manifestation of the fulfillment of prophecy during the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Sengit sengit lan sengit kang wuta lan tanpa nalar marang Trump dianggep déning akèh wong minangka sawijining pepenginan, awit dhasaré ana ing kaciṭran lan logika kang ora nalar. Donya nyoba njlèntrèhaké sengit kang ora bisa kabeneraké marang Trump, nanging kasunyatané yaiku yèn iku dudu pepenginan manungsa kang lumrah lan cetha saka pihak para globalis, nanging minangka wujud adikodrati saka kaleksanané ramalan sajroning sajarah panyegelan wong satus patang puluh papat èwu.

“O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry! But many of those who should be proclaiming the truth are accusing and condemning their brethren. When the converting power of God comes upon minds, there will be a decided change. Men will have no inclination to criticize and tear down. They will not stand in a position that hinders the light from shining to the world. Their criticism, their accusing, will cease. The powers of the enemy are mustering for battle. Stern conflicts are before us. Press together, my brethren and sisters, press together. Bind up with Christ. ‘Say ye not, A confederacy, . . . neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.’

“Dhuh, saupama umaté Allah nduwèni pangrasa marang karusakan gedhé sing ngancam éwonan kutha, kang saiki meh kabèh wis katundhung marang panyembahan brahala! Nanging akèh wong saka antarané para kang kuduné martakaké kayektèn malah padha nyalahaké lan ngukum para saduluré. Nalika daya pangowahan saka Allah tumiba marang pikiran-pikiran, bakal ana owah-owahan kang temtu. Wong-wong ora bakal nduwèni karep kanggo ngritik lan ngrubuhaké. Wong-wong mau ora bakal ngadeg ing sawijining posisi kang ngalang-alangi pepadhang supaya ora sumunar marang jagad. Kritik-kritik lan tudhuhan-tuduhané bakal mandheg. Kakuwataning mungsuh lagi nglumpukaké barisan kanggo perang. Pasulayan-pasulayan kang atos ana ing ngarepé kita. Raketana bebarengan, para sadulur lan para sadulur wadonku, raketana bebarengan. Kaiketana karo Sang Kristus. ‘Aja padha ngucap, Pakempalan,... lan aja padha wedi marang apa kang dadi wediné, utawa gumeter. Sucèkna Sang Yéhuwah Gustining sarwa tumitah piyambak; Panjenengané iku kang dadi wedimu, lan Panjenengané iku kang dadi girismu. Lan Panjenengané bakal dadi pangungsèn; nanging uga dadi watu sandhungan lan watu panyaruwé tumrap sakloroné brayat Israèl, dadi jerat lan dadi jebakan tumrap para warga Yérusalèm. Lan akèh ing antarané bakal kesandhung, lan tiba, lan remuk, lan kajiret, lan katangkep.’”

“The world is a theater. The actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to his rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.

“Jagad iki minangka sawijining panggung sandiwara. Para pelakune, yaiku para pedununge, lagi nyawisake awake kanggo mainake perane ing drama agung pungkasan. Allah wis ora katon maneh ana ing pangrasane manungsa. Ing antaraning golongan gedhé umat manungsa ora ana kasawijèn, kajaba manawa wong-wong padha sesrawungan kanggo nggayuh ancas-ancase dhewe kang mentingake awaké pribadi. Allah lagi mirsani. Ancang-ancang Panjenengane tumrap para kawula kang mbalela bakal kalakon. Jagad iki durung diserahake menyang tangan manungsa, sanadyan Allah kersa ngidini unsur-unsur karancuan lan kacawisan nguwaosi sajrone sawatara mangsa. Sawijining kakuwatan saka ngisor lagi nyambut gawe kanggo ndadekake dumadine adegan-adegan agung pungkasan ing drama mau,—Sétan rawuh kaya-kaya Kristus, lan makarya kalawan sakehing panipuning pialanging piala ana ing antarané wong-wong kang ngiket awake bebarengan ana ing pasamuwan-pasamuwan rahasia. Wong-wong kang nyerah marang hawa nepsu kanggo sesrawungan mangkono iku lagi ngleksanakake rancangan-rancangané mungsuh. Sabab bakal katut déning akibat.”

“Transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.” Review and Herald, September 10, 1903.

“Pelanggaran wis meh tekan watese. Kebingungan ngebaki jagad, lan sawijining kengerian gedhe bakal enggal nekani umat manungsa. Pungkasan wis cedhak banget. Kita kang mangerténi kayekten kudu nyawisaké dhiri tumrap apa kang bakal enggal njeblug marang jagad iki minangka sawijining kaétan sing nggegirisi lan tanpa diduga.” Review and Herald, 10 September 1903.

Islam of the third woe is about to strike “thousands of cities” and Laodicean Adventism has no sense of the impending destruction that is about to happen. In the time period when Isaiah’s evil confederacy is accomplishing its work, there is a satanic “power from beneath” that is “working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,” and these things come as an “overwhelming surprise.” The insanity exercised towards Trump is caused by a power from beneath. It is a component of the last scenes of earth’s history.

Islam ing bilai katelu wis arep nggebug “ewu-ewu kutha,” lan Adventisme Laodikia ora nduwèni pangrasa bab karusakan sing wis ngancik lan bakal kalakon. Ing jaman nalika pasamuwan ala miturut Yesaya lagi ngrampungaké pakaryané, ana sawijining “daya saka ngisor” sing sipaté satani, kang “lagi makarya kanggo ndadèkaké kalakoné adegan-adegan gedhé pungkasan ing drama iku,” lan prekara-prekara iki tumeka minangka sawijining “kagètan sing nggegirisi.” Kegendhèngan sing ditindakaké marang Trump iku disebabaké déning sawijining daya saka ngisor. Iku minangka salah siji pérangan saka adegan-adegan pungkasan sajarah bumi.

This should not be understood as an endorsement for Trump, it is simply God’s Word, which never fails. During the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand God is pouring out His power from on high, while Satan is exercising his power from beneath.

Bab iki ora kena dipahami minangka panyengkuyung tumrap Trump, iki mung Sabdaning Allah, kang ora naté gagal. Sajeroning panyegelan tumrap satus patang puluh papat èwu, Allah lagi nyurungaké panguwaosé saka ing luhur, déné Sétan lagi ngleksanakaké panguwaosé saka ing ngisor.

“If we would have the spirit and power of the third angel’s message, we must present the law and the gospel together, for they go hand in hand. As a power from beneath is stirring up the children of disobedience to make void the law of God, and to trample upon the truth that Christ is our righteousness, a power from above is moving upon the hearts of those who are loyal, to exalt the law, and to lift up Jesus as a complete Saviour. Unless divine power is brought into the experience of the people of God, false theories and ideas will take minds captive, Christ and His righteousness will be dropped out of the experience of many, and their faith will be without power or life.” Gospel Workers, 161.

“Yèn kita arep nduwèni roh lan kakuwatan saka pekabarané malaékat katelu, kita kudu martakaké angger-angger lan Injil bebarengan, awit kalorone lumaku sesarengan. Kaya déné ana sawijining kakuwatan saka ngisor sing lagi ngojok-ojoki anak-anak duraka supaya mbatalaké angger-anggeré Allah, lan ngidak-idak kayektèn manawa Kristus iku kabeneran kita, mangkono uga ana sawijining kakuwatan saka ndhuwur sing lagi ngengeraké ati wong-wong sing setya, supaya ngluhuraké angger-angger, lan ngangkat Gusti Yésus minangka Juru Slamet kang sampurna. Kajaba kakuwatan ilahi digawa mlebu ing pangalamané umaté Allah, téyori-téyori lan gagasan-gagasan palsu bakal nyekel pikiran dadi tawanan, Kristus lan kabenerané bakal kasisihaké saka pangalamané akèh wong, lan pracayané bakal tanpa kakuwatan utawa urip.” Gospel Workers, 161.

The manifestation of Satanic power which occurs before, and leading up to the soon-coming Sunday law, typifies the crowning act of Satan’s power that occurs at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Panyingkapaning kakuwasan Iblis sing dumadi sadurungé, lan nuntun marang angger-angger Minggu sing enggal bakal rawuh, minangka pralambang tumindak pungkasan kang dadi pucaking kakuwasan Iblis sing dumadi nalika angger-angger Minggu sing enggal bakal rawuh iku katindakaké.

“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.

“Kanthi dekret kang ngetrapaké lembaga Kapapusan kanthi nglanggar angger-anggering Allah, bangsa kita bakal medhot awaké dhéwé kanthi tuntas saka kabeneran. Nalika Protestanisme nguluraké tangané nyabrang telenging jurang kanggo nyekel tangan kakuwasan Roma, nalika dhèwèké nggayuh nyabrang palung kanggo sesalaman karo Spiritualisme, nalika, ing sangisoré pangaribawané pasamuan telu iki, nagara kita bakal nyélaki saben asas Konstitusi minangka pamaréntahan Protestan lan republik, lan bakal nyawisaké dalan tumrap panyebaran kasalahan lan pangapusaning budi saka kapapusan, mula kita bisa mangerténi yèn wekdalé wis teka tumrap pakaryan Iblis kang nggegirisi, lan yèn pungkasan wis cedhak.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

The motivation that is currently coming from beneath, and manifesting its activities in the globalist representatives of the dragon in the United States, will be reproduced in the nations of the world after the Sunday law arrives. Even now, the nations of the world are manifesting the same supernatural insanity over Trump.

Motivasi kang saiki teka saka ngisor, lan nyatakaké kegiyatané ana ing para wakil globalis sang naga ing Amérika Sarékat, bakal kaasilaké manèh ana ing bangsa-bangsa ing donya sawisé hukum Minggu tekan. Malah saiki waé, bangsa-bangsa ing donya lagi nyatakaké kasurupan edan adikodrati kang padha tumrap Trump.

“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

“Bangsa-bangsa manca bakal ngetutaké tuladha Amerika Sarékat. Sanadyan dhèwèké dadi sing mimpin luwih dhisik, nanging krisis sing padha bakal nekani umat kita ing saindenging péranganing jagad.” Testimonies, jilid 6, 395.

What the Republicans of the United States define as insanity on the part of Democrats in their illogical opposition to Trump, is actually a supernatural manifestation of satanic power that is in fulfillment of Daniel chapter eleven, verse two. Trump, the sixth president since the time of the end in 1989 was to “stir up” (awaken), the socialistic globalists of the entire world. The hatred against him is supernatural, and it prefigures the manifestation of satanic power that arrives in greater magnitude at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Apa kang déning kaum Republik ing Amérika Sarékat ditegesi minangka kasingsalan ing pihaké kaum Demokrat ana ing oposisié kang ora lumrah lan ora logis marang Trump, sajatiné iku sawijining kawujudan adikodrati saka kakuwasan Iblis kang nggenepi Daniel pasal sewelas, ayat loro. Trump, présidhèn kaping nem wiwit jaman wekasan ing taun 1989, mesthiné “nggugah” (ngéwahi saka turu), para globalis sosialis ing saindenging jagad kabèh. Sengit marang dhèwèké iku sipaté adikodrati, lan iku dados pralambang sadurungé tumrap kawujudan kakuwasan Iblis kang bakal rawuh kanthi ukuran kang luwih gedhé nalika angger-angger Minggu kang bakal enggal teka.

The manifestation of the power from beneath, according to Sister White’s reference takes place during the evil confederation, which Isaiah warns about in chapter eight, and in that period the sealing of God’s people is occurring.

Mujudé kakuwatan saka ngandhap, manut rujukan Suster White, dumadi sajroning pasamuwan ala kang dadi konfederasi, kang dipèngetaké déning Yesaya ing pasal wolu, lan ing mangsa iku panyegelan umaté Allah lagi kalakon.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:16.

Iketana paseksèn iku, segela angger-angger ana ing antaraning para murid-Ku. Yesaya 8:16.

We will continue this study in the next article.

“Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons. The spirits of devils will go forth to the kings of the earth and to the whole world, to fasten them in deception, and urge them on to unite with Satan in his last struggle against the government of heaven. By these agencies, rulers and subjects will be alike deceived. Persons will arise pretending to be Christ Himself, and claiming the title and worship which belong to the world’s Redeemer. They will perform wonderful miracles of healing and will profess to have revelations from heaven contradicting the testimony of the Scriptures.

“Paningal-paningal kang nggegirisi mawa sipat adikodrati bakal enggal kababar ing langit, minangka tengering kakuwataning para dhemit kang nindakake mukjijat. Roh-rohing setan bakal lunga marang para ratu ing bumi lan marang saindenging jagad, supaya ngiket wong-wong mau ing panipon lan ndheseg supaya padha nyawiji karo Sétan ing perjuwané kang pungkasan nglawan pamaréntahaning swarga. Lumantar sarana-sarana iki, para panguwasa lan para kawulané padha-padha bakal katipu. Bakal muncul wong-wong kang ngaku dadi Kristus piyambak, lan ngakoni gelar sarta pangibadah kang dadi kagungané Sang Juru Slamet jagad. Wong-wong mau bakal nindakake mukjijat-mukjijat panyaras kang nggumunaké, sarta bakal mratelakaké yèn padha nampa wahyu-wahyu saka swarga kang nalisir paseksèning Kitab Suci.”

“As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour’s advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. Revelation 1:13–15. The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: ‘Christ has come! Christ has come!’ The people prostrate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Saviour uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion. Like the Samaritans who were deceived by Simon Magus, the multitudes, from the least to the greatest, give heed to these sorceries, saying: This is ‘the great power of God.’ Acts 8:10.

“Minangka tumindak pungkasan kang makuthani drama gedhéing pangapusan, Iblis dhéwé bakal nyamar dadi Kristus. Pasamuwan wis suwe ngakoni manawa pangajabé tumuju marang rawuhipun Sang Juru Slamet minangka panyampurnaning pangarep-arepé. Saiki si panipu agung bakal ndadèkaké kaya-kaya Kristus wis rawuh. Ing warna-warna péranganing bumi, Iblis bakal ngetokaké awaké ana ing satengahing manungsa minangka sawijining pribadi kang agung lan kinawasa ing kamulyan kang padhang sumilak, mirib katrangan bab Putraning Allah kang kaparingaké déning Yohanes ana ing kitab Wahyu. Wahyu 1:13–15. Kamulyan kang ngubengi dhèwèké ora ana tandhingané déning apa waé kang tau dideleng déning mripat manungsa fana. Pambengoking kamenangan kumandhang ana ing awang-awang: ‘Kristus wis rawuh! Kristus wis rawuh!’ Wong akèh padha sujud nyembah ana ing ngarsané, déné dhèwèké ngacungaké tangané lan ngucapaké berkah marang wong-wong mau, kaya Kristus mberkahi para muridé nalika Panjenengané ana ing bumi. Swarane alus lan alon, nanging kebak kaselarasan. Kanthi tembung-tembung kang lembut lan kebak welas asih, dhèwèké ngaturaké sawatara kayektèn swarga kang kebak sih-rahmat, padha karo kang naté kaandharaké déning Sang Juru Slamet; dhèwèké nambani lelarané wong akèh, banjur, sajroning watak palsuné minangka Kristus, dhèwèké ngakoni yèn dhèwèké wis ngganti Sabat dadi Minggu, lan mrentah kabèh wong supaya nyucekké dina kang wis diberkahi déning dhèwèké. Dhèwèké mratelakaké yèn wong-wong kang tetep ngugemi kasucèning dina kapitu iku lagi nyenyamah jenengé amarga ora gelem ngrungokaké para malaékaté kang diutus marang wong-wong mau nggawa pepadhang lan kayektèn. Iki apusan kang rosa, meh ora kaungkuli. Kaya wong Samaria kang kapusan déning Simon Magus, wong akèh, wiwit saka kang cilik tekan kang gedhé, padha nggatèkaké pangipulé iki, karo matur: Iki ‘kuwasaning Allah kang agung.’ Lelakon Para Rasul 8:10.”

“But the people of God will not be misled. The teachings of this false christ are not in accordance with the Scriptures. His blessing is pronounced upon the worshipers of the beast and his image, the very class upon whom the Bible declares that God’s unmingled wrath shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.

“Nanging umat Allah ora bakal kesasar. Piwulang-piwulang saka kristus palsu iki ora cocog karo Kitab Suci. Pangestuné diumumaké marang para panyembah kéwan galak lan reca-gambarané, yaiku golongan sing banget déné déning Alkitab dinyatakake manawa bebenduné Allah kang tanpa campuran bakal diwutahaké marang wong-wong mau.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.
