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

Ngwata ya kuloza ya ngala ni bulongwe bwa mapinga, nga ni byo Yesaya amwene.

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.

Ihurize hamwe, mwa mahanga mwe, kandi muzajanjagurwa; nimutegere amatwi, mwese abo mu bihugu bya kure: nimwikenyereze, kandi muzajanjagurwa; nimwikenyereze, kandi muzajanjagurwa. Nimugirane imigambi hamwe, ariko izapfa ubusa; nimuvuge ijambo, ariko ntirizahama: kuko Imana iri kumwe natwe. Kuko Uwiteka yambwiye atyo, ukuboko kwe kundiho gukomeye, anyigisha ko ntagomba kugendera mu nzira y’ubu bwoko, avuga ati: Ntimukavuge ngo, Ubugambanyi, ku byo ubu bwoko bwita byose ngo, Ubugambanyi; kandi ntimutinye ibyo butinya, habe no gushya ubwoba. Ahubwo Uwiteka Nyiringabo abe ari we mwubaha nk’Uwera; kandi abe ari we mutinya, abe ari we muterwa ubwoba. Na we azababera ubuturo bwera; ariko kandi azaba ibuye risitaza n’urutare rugusha inzu zombi za Isirayeli, n’umutego n’ikibindi ku baturage b’i Yerusalemu. Kandi benshi muri bo bazasitara, bagwe, bajanjagurwe, batezwe, bafatwe. Boha ubuhamya, ushire ikimenyetso ku mategeko hagati mu bigishwa banjye. 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.

Mu nsiku za kulekelesha, mu ciindi ca kusindikizigwa kwa bantu bali myanda iili kkumi ayone, oyu Esaya waamba ati, “Sunga bumboni, sindika mulawo akati ka basikwiiya bangu,” kuli “cilangano cibyaabi” pano aa nyika. Cakakosha kuzyiba kuti malembe aa United States aa kuya ku mulawo wa Sande aleelela kale mizeezo njiyonya aa nzila yakwe ku mutengo wa nyika yoonse.

“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.

“अमेरिकी राष्ट्रहरूले संयुक्त राज्यको उदाहरण पछ्याउनेछन्। यद्यपि उसले अग्रसरता लिन्छ, तथापि यही संकट संसारका सबै भागहरूमा रहेका हाम्रा मानिसहरूमाथि पनि आइपर्नेछ।” Testimonies, volume 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.

Mudiru White n’olwekengera olunene alaga bulungi abo “ekibiina ekibi” kye kiri, era kikiikirira obuliberalizimu obusembayo obw’abantu b’ensi yonna ab’omu mulembe gwa kaakano. Bw’akola bw’atyo, addamu emirundi mingi okujja ebigambo eby’ennyiriri ezikulembera mu Isaaya, ebiraga ekibiina ekibi mu kiseera eky’okussaako akabonero ku b’abantu emitwalo kikumi mu enkumi n’enkumi nnya.

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

“Ũkũ Mũthamaki auga akĩaria na kanua ka mũnabii Isaia: Isaia 8:9–13 yarutirwo.”

“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.

"Հան անսոնք կան, որ կը հարցնեն՝ արդեօք ճի՞շտ է, որ քրիստոնեաները պատկանին Ազատ Մասոններուն եւ այլ գաղտնի ընկերութիւններու։ Թող ամէն այդպիսին քննէ նոր մէջբերուած Սուրբ Գրութիւնները։ Եթէ մենք առհասարակ քրիստոնեայ ենք, պէտք է ամէն տեղ քրիստոնեայ ըլլանք, եւ նկատի առնենք ու ականջ դնենք այն խրատին, որ տրուած է մեզ Աստուծոյ Խօսքի չափանիշին համեմատ քրիստոնեայ ընելու համար»։ 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.”

Mu misi ya yikuma, ngwisani ya bubi yidi ya kwelanangana ne ba-Freemason, ne masanganu ma nkaka ma kisweki. Dibundu diandi kele spiritisme, ye yo yitungidi na ba-banki ya yinza ne ba-sumbidi ya ntalu ya nene ya ntoto, yina “kezingaka kimvwama ye ngolo ya yinza na kisika mosi,” ye yina ketombulaka mambu ya mutindu ya Antifa ye Black Lives Matter sambu na kutula “peve ya kukonda kivuvu, ya mvita ya bala-bala ye ya kusopa menga” na “kisika ya yinza ya mvimba,” na lukanu ya kuvutula anarkie ya “Révolution française.”

“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.

«Mite y’omwuka yigisha ko abantu ari ibigirwamana bito bitaguye; ko “buri bwenge buzicira urubanza ubwarwo;” ko “ubumenyi nyakuri bushyira abantu hejuru y’amategeko yose;” ko “ibyaha byose bikozwe ari ibizira bitariho;” kuko “icyo ari cyo cyose kiriho, kiri ukwacyo ari cyiza,” kandi “Imana nticiraho iteka.” Umunyabyaha usuzuguritse kurusha abandi bose mu bantu, iyimwerekana nk’uri mu ijuru kandi ahimbajwe cyaneyo. Bityo ikabwira abantu bose iti: “Nta cyo bitwaye icyo ukora icyo ari cyo cyose; baho uko ushaka, ijuru ni iwanyu.” Ni ko abantu benshi bayobywa bakizera ko irari ari ryo tegeko risumba ayandi, ko ubwisanzure bw’ubukubaganyi ari bwo umudendezo, kandi ko umuntu abazwa gusa na we ubwe.»

“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.

“ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਜੀਵਨ ਦੇ ਬਿਲਕੁਲ ਆਰੰਭ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਜਦੋਂ ਐਸੀ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਜਦੋਂ ਉਤੇਜਨਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਬਲਵਾਨ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਸਵੈ-ਸੰਯਮ ਅਤੇ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਤਾ ਦੀ ਮੰਗ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਅਧਿਕ ਤੁਰੰਤ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਨੇਕੀ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਲਈ ਕਿਹੜੇ ਬਚਾਅ ਬਚਦੇ ਹਨ? ਸੰਸਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਦੂਜਾ ਸਦੂਮ ਬਣ ਜਾਣ ਤੋਂ ਕੀ ਰੋਕੇਗਾ? ਇਸੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਅਨਾਰਕੀ ਹਰ ਇਕ ਕਾਨੂੰਨ ਨੂੰ—ਕੇਵਲ ਦਿਵਿਆ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਸਗੋਂ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਕਾਨੂੰਨ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ—ਬਹਾ ਲੈ ਜਾਣ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕਰ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ। ਧਨ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਦਾ ਕੇਂਦਰੀਕਰਨ; ਬਹੁਤਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਨੁਕਸਾਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਥੋੜਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਧਨਵਾਨ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਬਣੀਆਂ ਵਿਸ਼ਾਲ ਸੰਯੁਕਤ ਵਿਵਸਥਾਵਾਂ; ਗਰੀਬ ਵਰਗਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਹਿਤਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਦਾਵਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਲਈ ਬਣੀਆਂ ਸੰਯੁਕਤਤਾਵਾਂ; ਅਸ਼ਾਂਤੀ, ਦੰਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਰਕਤਪਾਤ ਦੀ ਮਨੋਵ੍ਰਿਤੀ; ਉਹੀ ਸਿੱਖਿਆਵਾਂ ਦਾ ਸੰਸਾਰ-ਵਿਆਪੀ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਰ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਫਰਾਂਸੀਸੀ ਕ੍ਰਾਂਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਜਨਮ ਦਿੱਤਾ—ਇਹ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਸਾਰੇ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਉਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਸੰਘਰਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਫਸਾਉਣ ਵੱਲ ਵੱਧ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ, ਜਿਹੜੇ ਨੇ ਫਰਾਂਸ ਨੂੰ ਝੰਝੋੜ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਸੀ।” 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.

Omundu yenna alowooza bulungi asaanidde okwebuuza ekigenda mu maaso mu nkuŋŋaana ng’ezo ezaakayitawo e Davos, gye abasajja boogera ku nteekateeka zaabwe ku nsi yonna awatali kulowooza na katono ku bantu abalala bonna ab’oku nsi.

“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.

“Mungu atu’nongwani ake echa mamburumburu a kwikukwata na mawazo ma andu ma meumbwa ni andu, amwe Ngai ati nĩ maumbikwe vipande-vipande. Roho wa tamaa ya kwona wa mĩvaka wa twailye andu kũsũvĩa faida ya kĩũngũ, na kwa kwĩwumbĩa mũno na kwa kwionyesha meeta kuvisya meko mao ma thina mo meekwete kwĩka nĩguo mafikie kyosoni kyao.

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

“Isaya 8:8–12 yakanzhiwa.” Review and Herald, Julayi 18, 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.

Miji ya meharibiwa, kama ilivyotabiriwa katika kifungu kilichotangulia, na uharibifu huo umeletwa na shirikisho ovu la Isaya sura ya nane. Yameharibiwa na, “watu wanaoshika nyadhifa za juu za uaminifu” ambao “wamefunua” “tamaa” yao “isiyo halali ya kupata faida.” Miji iliyoharibiwa huonekana kwa urahisi katika majimbo ambayo mawakili wakuu wake wamechaguliwa kwa fedha za wakomunisti kama George Soros. Hilo huonekana wakati sheria zilizowekwa hazitekelezwi na wanasiasa waharibifu huko Washington, DC. Hilo huonekana kwa sheria ambazo hutumiwa tu dhidi ya wale walio upande mwingine wa wigo wa kisiasa, kama inavyoonyeshwa na watu kama Nancy Pelosi na 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.

Mu kutambula ekibi n’okulimba eri Mukama, n’okuva ku Katonda waffe, nga twogera obunyigiriza n’obujeemu, nga tusuubira era twatulira okuva mu mutima ebigambo eby’obulimba. Era omusango gukyusiddwa ne gudda emabega, n’obutuukirivu buyimiridde wala: kubanga amazima gagudde mu luguudo, era obwenkanya tebuyinza kuyingira. Weewaawo, amazima gaweddewo; era oyo ava mu bubi yeefuula ekinyago: era Mukama yakiraba, ne kimumwenyisa bubi kubanga tewali musango. Isaaya 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.

Mu kifungu kilichotangulia kutoka *Review and Herald*, wanaume wanaoshika nyadhifa za juu za uaminifu wanatambulisha wanasiasa waliopotoka, ambao jalada zao za Wall Street daima huzidi mapato bora kabisa yanayowezekana, kwa sababu ya kazi yao ya kutunga sheria ya kuhalalisha “insider trading” kwa ajili yao wenyewe, wala si kwa mtu mwingine yeyote. Pitia historia ya Martha Stewart. Miji katika kifungu hicho imeharibika kwa njia ya uovu wao, na jambo hili linaonekana hasa katika miji na majimbo yanayotawaliwa na Wanademokrasia wa kimataifa.

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.

Mu nsiku zaumaliro, chiphatano choipa chili na chinjoka, chilombo, na mprofeti wautesi; ndipo chilombo na mprofeti wautesi vili na makhalidwe ghawo gha uprofeti uheni, kweni makhalidwe agho ghakuwonekera chomene mu globalism yaulere ni mikhalidwe ya chinjoka.

“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.

“Ufunuo 17:13–14 amekotwa. ‘Aba bari n’omutima gumu.’ Haribaho obumwe obw’ensi yoona, okwikiraniza kukuru kumwe, ekibiina ky’amaani ga Sitaani. ‘Kandi baryaha ensobozi zaabo n’amaani gaabo ekisolo.’ Omuringo ogu ni ho guraga amaani nigamwe ag’obutegeki obw’okukora nk’oku omuntu ayenda n’ag’okunyigiriza obugabe bw’ediini, n’obugabe bw’okuramya Ruhanga nk’oku omuntu arahaburwa omutima gwe, nk’oku kyayeretsibwe obwa Papa, obu omu biro ebyahingwire yaayigaanisiza abo abaayetantire kwanga kukuratira emikoro n’emigenzo y’ediini ya Rooma.

“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.

“Ŋedzedze si wòawɔ le ŋkeke mamlɛa me la, ŋusẽ vɔ̃ɖi siwo katã trɔ le dɔme tso Yehowa ƒe se la ŋu la awɔ ɖeka atsia tsi ɖe Mawu ƒe ameawo ŋu.

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.

Tukamona eby’obunnabbi ebiraga ensolo n’Obupolotesitante obwakyewaggula mu bitundu ebiddako. Kikulu okumanya ekibikkuliddwa ku kibiina kya byabufuzi ekikulembeddemu era ekikuba enkoba mu kussa mu nkola amateeka ga Ssande. Kya lwatu nti ebibiina byombi (Democrat ne Republican) byegatta ku nsonga y’etteeka lya Ssande, nga Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo bwe baagatta ku musaalaba; naye tewali nsonga ya bwenkanya etuweesaawo okugamba nti erinnya ly’Obupolotesitante oba Obupolotesitante obwakyewaggula liyinza okukwataganyizibwa n’ekibiina kya Democratic, kubanga mu butangaavu bwe maanyi ga nnamunswa.

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.

Dîroka mor kirina sed û çil û çar hezar kesan ew dîrok e ku tê de peymana xirab a Îşaya di beşa heştan de tê nas kirin. Ew dîrok di 11-ê Îlona 2001-an de dest pê kir, gava serokê çaremîn, Bushê duyemîn, li ser desthilatdariyê bû. Di wê dîrokê de serokê şeşemîn di sala 2016-an de dê were, û wî hemû herêma Yewnanistanê şiyar bikira (hêjandibûya); ji ber ku wî dê cîhanê ji bo têkoşîna di navbera hêza ejdeha û Protestanîzma murted de şiyar bikira, ya ku karê vegerandina heywanê bo textê erdê temam dike.

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.

Nefreta kor a bêaqil a li dijî Trumpê, ji aliyê gelek kesan ve wekî cureyek dînbûnê tê nasîn, çimkî ew li ser nedurustî û mentiqeheke bêaqil ava bûye. Cîhan hewl dide ku nefretê bêhincet a li dijî Trumpê pênase bike, lê rastî ev e ku ew ne dînbûneke mirovî ya rasterast ji aliyê globalîstan ve ye; belê ew xuyabûna serxwezayî ya pêkhatina pêxemberiyê ye di dema dîroka mohrkirina sed û çil û çar hezaran de.

“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.’

“Ina kuulo mehia wouldawki iko uuro kisak o tanoi mehia me tawaanoi utu me shukurango, me nengei o puts pwiwi ya! Mota mehia kuroitki yime kumdung tawaan ya ikad tuu o shimdung me sakarotki tuuroi kumti. Kuri o yime tugul me God ko meingdi ko mehai, me o kouri me peik.

“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.

“Dünya bir tiyatrodur. Oyuncular, onun sakinleri, son büyük dramda kendilerine düşen rolü oynamaya hazırlanmaktadırlar. Tanrı gözden yitirilmiştir. İnsanlığın büyük kitleleri arasında, insanlar bencil amaçlarını gerçekleştirmek üzere birleşmedikçe, hiçbir birlik yoktur. Tanrı bakmaktadır. İsyankâr tebalarıyla ilgili amaçları yerine gelecektir. Dünya, Tanrı bir süre için kargaşa ve düzensizlik unsurlarının egemenlik sürmesine izin veriyor olsa da, insanların ellerine verilmemiştir. Aşağıdan gelen bir güç, dramın son büyük sahnelerini meydana getirmek için işlemektedir,—Şeytan’ın Mesih olarak gelmesi ve gizli cemiyetlerde kendilerini birbirine bağlayanlar arasında her türlü haksızlık aldatıcılığıyla faaliyette bulunması. İttifak kurma tutkusuna teslim olanlar, düşmanın planlarını gerçekleştirmektedirler. Sebep, sonucunu doğuracaktır.”

“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.

“무법이 거의 그 한계에 이르렀다. 혼란이 세상을 가득 채우고 있으며, 큰 공포가 머지않아 인류에게 닥치려 하고 있다. 끝이 매우 가깝다. 진리를 아는 우리는 곧 압도적인 뜻밖의 일로 세상에 들이닥칠 일을 위하여 준비하고 있어야 한다.” Review and Herald, September 10, 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.

Uislam wa taabu wa tatu uko karibu kuyapiga “maelfu ya miji,” na Uadventista wa Laodikia hana utambuzi wowote wa maangamizi yanayokaribia kutukia. Katika kipindi cha wakati ambamo shirikisho ovu la Isaya linatimiza kazi yake, kuna “nguvu itokayo chini” ya kishetani ambayo “inafanya kazi ili kuyaleta matukio ya mwisho makuu katika tamthilia,” na mambo haya huja kama “mshangao mkuu unaofunika yote.” Wazimu unaoelekezwa dhidi ya Trump unasababishwa na nguvu itokayo chini. Huo ni sehemu ya matukio ya mwisho ya historia ya dunia.

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.

Kiki kisitafsiriwe ko ari ugushyigikira Trump; ni Ijambo ry’Imana gusa, ritigera rinanirwa. Mu gihe cyo gushyirwaho ikimenyetso kw’abihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine, Imana irimo gusuka imbaraga zayo ziturutse hejuru, mu gihe Satani arimo gukoresha imbaraga ze ziturutse hasi.

“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.

“Yẹn mli ni yikɔ nyɛtsɔ lɛ akɛ lɛ aŋii saminɔ lɛ ahe ni mli, lɛ ebaawɔ lɛ shishi lɛ ni nyɛtsɔ lɛ hewalɛ kɛ gbɛi kɛ nyɛ; hewɔ ni lɛ, amɛ ni bɔ lɛ nyɛ.

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.

Ufunuo wa nguvu za kishetani unaotokea kabla ya, na kuongoza hadi, sheria ya Jumapili iliyo karibu kuja, ni mfano wa tendo la kilele la nguvu za Shetani litakalotokea wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili iliyo karibu kuja.

“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.

“Upapa watabikilutu ula shi kulenga ku pango ja Nzambi, dinko dia mukanda wa kulamika kyenyi, ditunga dietu dinakekulula kulungama muwansu. Pantu Bupolotesitante pakatambula kubolola kuboko ku busena bua dipangadika bua kwata kuboko kua bukole bua Loma, pantu pakafika pamulu pa lubulu bua kulomba maboko ne Buspilitisime, pantu, mu diyi dia dikwata dino dia bitatu, ditunga dietu pakaseba nsadisu yonso ya Mukanda wa Mitema wa diko bu bukulumpe bua Bupolotesitante ne bua repubilike, ne pakalonga ndambulu ya kusansha mashimi ne mashima a bupapa, dipo netumanye ne tshiena tshifikile bua bisalu bia Satana bia kukema, ne ne tshisukilo tshidi pabufi.” 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.

Ekikomo ekiri n’okujja kaakano okuva wansi, era ekiraga emirimu gyakyo mu bakiikirize b’ensi yonna ab’ekisota mu United States, kiriddamu okulabika mu mawanga g’ensi yonna nga etteeka lya Ssande limaze okutuuka. Ne kaakano, amawanga g’ensi yonna garaga obulalu bwe bumu obw’eby’obutonde obw’ekitalo ku lwa 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.

„Amahanga y’amahanga azakurikira urugero rw’Amerika. Nubwo ari yo iyobora ibanza, ariko icyo kibazo kimwe kizagera ku bantu bacu mu mpande zose z’isi.” Testimonies, volume 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.

Ebyo Abarepubulikani bo muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika basobanura ko ari ubusazi ku ruhande rw’Abademokarate mu kurwanya Trump mu buryo butagira ishingiro, mu by’ukuri ni ukwigaragaza ndengakamere kw’imbaraga za Satani, kubahiriza Danieli igice cya cumi na kimwe, umurongo wa kabiri. Trump, perezida wa gatandatu uhereye ku gihe cy’imperuka mu 1989, yagombaga “kubyutsa” (gukangura) abaglobaliste b’abasosiyaliste bo mu isi yose. Urwango rumurwanyije ni ndengakamere, kandi rubanziriza ukwigaragaza kw’imbaraga za Satani kuzaza ku rugero runini kurushaho mu itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba.

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.

ئەو دەرکەوتنی هێزی خوارەوە، بەگوێرەی ئاماژەی خوشک وایت، لە ماوەی ئەو هاوپەیمانییە خراپەدا ڕوودەدات کە ئیشعیا لە بەشی هەشتەمدا ئاگاداریی لێ دەدات، و لەو ماوەیەدا مۆرکردنی گەلی خودا بەردەوامە.

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

Sima ushuhuda, ukaitie muhuri sheria kati ya wanafunzi wangu. Isaya 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.

Zinthu zoopsa za chikhalidwe chauzimu zidzaululidwa posachedwapa m’mitambo ya kumwamba, monga chizindikiro cha mphamvu ya ziwanda zochita zozizwitsa. Mizimu ya ziwanda idzapita kwa mafumu a dziko lapansi ndi kwa dziko lonse lapansi, kuti iwamangirire m’chinyengo, ndi kuwakakamiza kugwirizana ndi Satana m’kulimbana kwake komaliza ndi boma la kumwamba. Mwa njira zimenezi, olamulira ndi olamulidwa adzanyengedwa mofanana. Anthu adzauka, akudziyesa kuti ndi Khristu Mwiniwake, ndi kudzinenera udindo ndi kulambiridwa komwe kuli kwa Muomboli wa dziko lapansi. Iwo adzachita zozizwitsa zodabwitsa za machiritso ndipo adzanena kuti ali ndi mavumbulutso ochokera kumwamba otsutsana ndi umboni wa Malemba.

“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.

“مینا وەک کردارە تەواوکەر و تاجدارەکەی لەو درامایە گەورەی فریودانەدا، شەیتان خۆی بەخۆی خۆی وەک مەسیح پیشان دەدات. کڵێسا ماوەیەکی درێژە بانگەشەی ئەوەی کردووە کە چاوی بە هاتنەوەی ڕزگارکەرەکەیەتی وەک تەواوبوونی هیوای خۆیەوە هەیە. ئێستا ئەو فریودەری گەورە وای دەردەخات کە مەسیح هاتووە. لە بەشە جیاوازەکانی زەویدا، شەیتان لە نێوان خەڵکدا خۆی دەردەخات وەک بوونەوەرێکی شکۆدار و پڕ لە ڕووناکییەکی کوێرکەرەوە، هاوشێوەی ئەو وەسفەیەی کوڕی خودا کە یۆحەنا لە مکاشفەدا پێشکەشی کردووە. مکاشفە 1:13–15. ئەو شکۆیەی دەوری دەگرێت، بە هیچ شتێک لەو شتانە ناگات کە چاوی مرۆڤی مەرگبار هێشتا بینیویەتی. هاوارەی سەرکەوتن لە هەوادا دەنگ دەدات: ‘مەسیح هاتووە! مەسیح هاتووە!’ خەڵکەکە لەبەردەمیدا بە سوجدە خۆیان دەخەنە خوارەوە بۆ پەرستش، لە کاتێکدا ئەویش دەستەکانی بەرز دەکاتەوە و بەرەکەتێک بەسەریاندا دەخوێنێت، هەروەک مەسیح کاتێک لەسەر زەوی بوو شاگردەکانی بەرەکەتدا. دەنگی نەرم و ئارامکراوە، بەڵام پڕە لە ئاوازە خوشەویست. بە دەنگ و زمانی نەرمی پڕ لە دڵسۆزی و بەزەیی، هەندێک لە هەمان ئەو ڕاستییە بەخشندە و ئاسمانییانە پیشکەش دەکات کە ڕزگارکەر فەرموویبوون؛ نەخۆشییەکانی خەڵک چاک دەکاتەوە، و پاشان، لەو کەسایەتییە ساختەی مەسیح‌بوونیدا، بانگەشەی ئەوە دەکات کە شەممەی گۆڕیوە بۆ یەکشەممە، و فەرمان بە هەمووان دەدات کە ئەو ڕۆژە پیرۆز بزانن کە خۆی بەرەکەتی داوە. ئەو ڕایدەگەیەنێت کە ئەوانەی بەردەوامن لە پاراستنی پیرۆزی ڕۆژی حەوتەم، بە نەپاککردنی ناوی ئەو دەستنیشان دەکرێن، چونکە گوێیان ناگرن لە فریشتەکانی ئەو کە بۆیان نێردراون بە ڕووناکی و ڕاستی. ئەمە ئەو هەڵخەڵەتاندنە بەهێزەیە کە نزیکەیە هەموو شتێک بخاتە ژێر دەسەڵاتی خۆیەوە. وەک ئەو سامیرییانەی کە شیمۆنی ماگۆس فریوی دابوون، خەڵکی زۆر، لە بچووکترینەوە هەتا گەورەترین، گوێ لەم جادووانە دەگرن و دەڵێن: ئەمە ‘هێزی گەورەی خودایە.’ کردارەکان 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.

“Lakini watu wa Mungu hawatapotoshwa. Mafundisho ya huyu kristo wa uongo hayapatani na Maandiko. Baraka yake inatangazwa juu ya waabuduo wa mnyama na sanamu yake, yaani, kundi lilelile ambalo Biblia hutangaza kwamba juu yao ghadhabu ya Mungu isiyochanganywa itamiminwa.” Pambano Kuu, 624, 625.
