The sealing began on September 11, 2001 when the mighty angel of chapter eighteen of Revelation descended. His descent was typified by the descent of the angel of Revelation ten on August 11, 1840, and also by the descent of the Holy Spirit at Christ’s baptism. Christ’s baptism points forward to the latter rain descending when the great buildings of New York City were brought down. The power from above began, and also at that time the power from beneath (bottomless pit) would be manifested, for God’s Word never fails.
Kubikanywa kwatandikire ku wa 11 Nyakanga 2001, igihe umumarayika ukomeye uvugwa mu gice cya cumi n’umunani cy’Ibyahishuwe yamanukaga. Uku kumanuka kwe kwari kwaragereranyijwe n’ukumanuka kw’umumarayika wo mu Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi ku wa 11 Kanama 1840, kandi nanone n’ukumanuka kwa Mwuka Wera mu mubatizo wa Kristo. Umubatizo wa Kristo werekeza imbere ku mvura y’itumba ya nyuma imanuka igihe inyubako nini zo mu Mujyi wa New York zasenywaga zigahanurwa. Imbaraga ziturutse hejuru zatangiye, kandi no muri icyo gihe imbaraga ziturutse hasi, mu rwobo rutagira iherezo, zagombaga kugaragazwa, kuko Ijambo ry’Imana ritajya ritsindwa.
When Christ was baptized, He immediately went into the wilderness and fasted for forty days, after which He was tempted by Satan with three temptations. Each of those three temptations represent primary characteristics of each of the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon. Those three temptations were pride, a characteristic of the dragon; appetite, a characteristic of the beast, and presumption, a characteristic of the false prophet. Pride and self-exaltation are represented by Lucifer in the classic description of Isaiah.
Kristo alipobatizwa, mara akenda nyikani, akafunga siku arobaini; kisha akajaribiwa na Shetani kwa majaribu matatu. Kila moja la majaribu hayo matatu linawakilisha sifa kuu za kila moja ya zile nguvu tatu zinazoiongoza dunia hadi Har–Magedoni. Majaribu hayo matatu yalikuwa kiburi, sifa ya yule joka; tamaa ya mwili, sifa ya yule mnyama; na ushupavu wa kujitwalia mamlaka ya Mungu, sifa ya yule nabii wa uongo. Kiburi na kujikweza vinawakilishwa na Lusifa katika maelezo ya kale ya Isaya.
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. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms. Isaiah 14:12–16.
ئهی لوسیفەر، کوڕی بەیانی، چۆن لە ئاسمان کەوتویتە خوارەوە! ئەی ئەوەی نەتەوەکانت لاواز دەکرد، چۆن بڕاوەیتەوە و خراویتە سەر زەوی! چونکە لە دڵی خۆتدا گوتت: من بەرز دەبمەوە بۆ ئاسمان، تەختەکەم لە سەر ئەستێرەکانی خودا بەرز دەکەمەوە؛ هەروەها لە سەر شاخی کۆبوونەوە دادەنیشم، لە لاوەکانی باکوور؛ من بەرز دەبمەوە سەرووی بەرزایی هەورەکان؛ وەک بەرزترین دەبم. بەڵام تۆ بۆ دۆزەخ دادەبەزرێیت، بۆ لاوەکانی چاڵ. ئەوانەی دەتبینن بە وردی لێت دەڕوانن و لەبارەتەوە بیر دەکەنەوە، دەڵێن: ئایا ئەمە ئەو پیاوەیە کە زەوی دەهەژاند، کە شانشینەکانی دەجوڵاند؟ ئیشایا 14:12–16.
Five times Lucifer proclaims in his heart “I will.” Satan, once named the “light bearer” (Lucifer), who now only bears darkness, is he “that did shake the nations.” Prophetically he is associated with the “nations,” for he is the leader of the evil confederacy of the nations, and the confederacy of merchants identified in Revelation chapters seventeen and eighteen.
پێنج جار لوسیفەر لە دڵی خۆیدا ڕادەگەیەنێت: «من دەکەم». شەیتان، ئەوەی جارێک ناوی «هەڵگری ڕووناکی» (Lucifer) لێنرابوو، کە ئێستا تەنها تاریکی هەڵدەگرێت، ئەوەیە «ئەوەی نەتەوەکانی دەهەژاند». لە ڕووی پێشبینییەوە، بە «نەتەوەکان»ەوە پەیوەست دەکرێت، چونکە ئەو سەرکردەی هاوپەیمانیی خراپی نەتەوەکانە، و هاوپەیمانیی بازرگانانەکەیە کە لە Revelation بەشی حەڤدە و هەژدە ناسێنراوە.
“Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon themselves the brand of antichrist, and are represented as the dragon who goes to make war with the saints—with those who keep the commandments of God and who have the faith of Jesus.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.
“Abakama n’abategeka n’abagovernoma bishyizeho ubwabo ikimenyetso cya antikristo, kandi bashushanijwe nka cya kiyoka kijya kurwanya intambara n’abera—na ba bandi bitondera amategeko y’Imana kandi bafite kwizera kwa Yesu.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.
At Christ’s baptism the Holy Spirit descended, typifying post-September 11, 2001. After His baptism Satan tempted Christ with the offer to give Christ the power Satan uses to rule the kingdoms of the world, for at the fall of Adam, Satan had become the ruler of the kingdoms of the world.
Yesu pa kubatiizibwa kwakwe, Mhepo Mutakatifu akamanuka, kulangisha ebya panuma ya Septemba 11, 2001. Panuma ya kubatiizibwa kwakwe, Sitani akageza Kristo n’akamuhayo okumupa obushoborozi obu Sitani akozesa okufuga obukama bw’ensi, ahabw’okuba omu kugwa kwa Adamu, Sitani akaba aireho nk’omufuzi w’obukama bw’ensi.
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:5–8.
Na Setani, baada ya kumchukua juu katika mlima mrefu, akamwonyesha falme zote za ulimwengu kwa dakika moja ya wakati. Na Setani akamwambia, Nguvu hizi zote nitakupa, na utukufu wake; kwa maana hayo yamekabidhiwa kwangu; nami humpa ye yote nitakaye. Basi, ukiniabudu, yote yatakuwa yako. Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Nenda nyuma yangu, Shetani; kwa maana imeandikwa, Mwabudu Bwana Mungu wako, naye peke yake ndiye utakayemtumikia. Luka 4:5–8.
Two primary characteristics of papal Rome (the beast), is her fornication and the poisoned “food” and drink she distributes.
Papa ya Roma (nyama) ina sifa kuu mbili za msingi: uasherati wake na “chakula” pamoja na kinywaji chenye sumu anachogawa.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:14.
Ariko ndafite bike nkurwanya, kuko wemera ko uwo mugore Yezebeli, wiyita umuhanuzikazi, yigisha kandi akayobya abagaragu banjye kugira ngo basambane, kandi barya ibyatambiwe ibigirwamana. Ibyahishuwe 2:14.
The “food” and drink she provides is her false doctrines.
“Çûna” û vexwarina ku ew pêşkêş dike, hînkirinên wê yên derewîn in.
“The great sin charged against Babylon is that she ‘made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ This cup of intoxication which she presents to the world represents the false doctrines that she has accepted as the result of her unlawful connection with the great ones of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 388.
“Babuloni yakwe ikibi gikomeye ni uko ‘yahaye amahanga yose kunywa kuri divayi y’uburakari bw’ubusambanyi bwayo.’ Iki gikombe cy’ubusinzi ageza ku isi kigereranya inyigisho z’ibinyoma yemeye nk’ingaruka y’isano ryayo ritari mu mategeko yagiranye n’abakomeye bo mu isi.” The Great Controversy, 388.
The beast of Catholicism also deceives the world by her sorceries, which is once again something that is taken internally.
Mnyama wa Ukatoliki naye huudanganya ulimwengu kwa uchawi wake, jambo ambalo kwa mara nyingine tena ni kitu kinachochukuliwa kwa ndani.
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Revelation 18:23.
Ne taa wa mukaandela taki kaakeeli keena mbote ne muuve mu ngeyi towe; ne dwi dia mubuili ne dia mupaalami kadiye keevwana mbote ne muuve mu ngeyi towe; mwaana baa, batekesi beebe baavwa bantu banene baa nsi; mwaana baa, na buloi buobe mawanga oonso aavwijibwa. Ubusuulwiro 18:23.
The Greek word translated as “sorceries,” is pharmakeia, meaning medications. The golden cup in her hand, represents not only a cup to drink wine from, but also the cup where her magical medical potions are prepared and delivered. In the modern world today, those magical potions are delivered in needles, not so much in a cup. When Satan appears after the soon-coming Sunday law, he will perform miracles of healing. The miracles associated with the potions and false doctrines of the papacy, was represented by Satan telling Christ to perform a miracle in turning the stone into bread.
لەفزی یۆنانییەکەی وەرگێڕدراو بە «جادوگەرییەکان»، pharmakeia ـیە، کە واتای دەرمانەکان دەگەیەنێت. جامی زێڕین لە دەستی ئەو، تەنها نوێنەرایەتی جامێک ناکات بۆ خواردنەوەی شەراب، بەڵکو هەروەها ئەو جامەشە کە تێیدا تێکەڵاوی پزیشکیی جادویییەکانی ئامادە دەکرێن و دەدرێن. لە جیهانی مۆدێرنی ئەمڕۆدا، ئەو تێکەڵاوانەی جادوییە لە دەرزییەکاندا دەدرێن، نەک ئەوەندە زۆر لە جامێکدا. کاتێک شەیتان دوای یاسای ڕۆژی یەکشەممەی نزیکهاتوو دەردەکەوێت، موعجیزەی چاکبوونەوە ئەنجام دەدات. ئەو موعجیزانەی پەیوەست بوون بەو تێکەڵاوانە و فێرکارییە درۆیینەی پاپایەتی، بەوە نوێنەرایەتی کرابوو کە شەیتان بە مەسیحی وت تـا موعجیزەیەک بکات و بەردەکە بگۆڕێت بۆ نان.
The prophetic history before and after the Sunday law possesses the same characteristics. The image of the beast testing period for Adventism leading to the Sunday law in the United States typifies the image of the beast testing period for the entire world. This is why we are informed that, “the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.”
Ovuthangululi wa unabii wusikuvu na wusikuvula kwa sheria ya Jumapili una sifa zilezile. Kipindi cha kujaribiwa kwa sanamu ya mnyama kwa Waadventista kinachoongoza hadi sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani ni mfano wa kipindi cha kujaribiwa kwa sanamu ya mnyama kwa ulimwengu wote. Hii ndiyo sababu tunaambiwa kwamba, “msukosuko huohuo utawajia watu wetu katika sehemu zote za ulimwengu.”
The miracles of satanic healings that are accomplished by Satan after the Sunday law, represent the “sorceries” of so-called medicine that are pawned off during the history beginning on September 11, 2001. Jesus stated that, “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Rome’s “food” is traditions and customs which she places above the Word of God.
Asinga a kwimika ya kishetani ambayo inatendwa na Shetani baada ya sheria ya Jumapili, huwakilisha “uchawi” wa kile kiitwacho tiba ambacho hupitishwa kwa hila katika kipindi cha historia kinachoanza tarehe 11 Septemba, 2001. Yesu alisema kwamba, “mtu hataishi kwa mkate tu, bali kwa kila neno la Mungu.” “Chakula” cha Rumi ni mapokeo na desturi ambazo huiweka juu ya Neno la Mungu.
“In the movements now in progress in the United States to secure for the institutions and usages of the church the support of the state, Protestants are following in the steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World. And that which gives greater significance to this movement is the fact that the principal object contemplated is the enforcement of Sunday observance—a custom which originated with Rome, and which she claims as the sign of her authority. It is the spirit of the papacy—the spirit of conformity to worldly customs, the veneration for human traditions above the commandments of God—that is permeating the Protestant churches and leading them on to do the same work of Sunday exaltation which the papacy has done before them.” The Great Controversy, 573.
“Ku Amerika eyoongalelo bi nsi bya leero ebigenda mu maaso okutunuulira okufuna eri ebitongole n’emikolo gy’ekkanisa obuwagizi bwa gavumenti, Abapolotesitante bagoberera mu bigere by’Abapapa. Era, ekisingawo, baggulawo oluggi eri obupapa okuddamu okufuna mu Amerika ey’Abapolotesitante obufuzi obw’oku ntikko bwe bwafiirwa mu Nsi Enkadde. Era ekintu ekiwa enkola eno amakulu agasingawo kwe kuba nti ekigendererwa ekikulu ekirowoozebwako kwe kuwagiza okukuuma Ssabbiiti ya Sande—empisa eyasooka okuva e Rooma, era gy’alowooza okuba akabonero k’obuyinza bwe. Gwe mwoyo gw’obupapa—omwoyo gw’okukkiriziganya n’empisa ez’ensi, okuwa ekitiibwa eri ennono z’abantu okusinga ebiragiro bya Katonda—gwe gubunye mu makanisa g’Abapolotesitante era nga gabakulembera okukola omulimu gwe gumu ogw’okugulumiza Sande obupapa gwe bwakola oluberyeberye lwabwe.” The Great Controversy, 573.
Tradition and custom are the doctrinal “food” which the beast replaces for the Word of God, in order that it might lift up its pagan idolatry.
A’anhèya a níko ndé áshii no “kudya” kwa ulongwe uko inyama ikãsombola pa Mbimbiliya ya Leza, pakuti yikwezye kuulu uhayini bwayo bwa kipagani.
“How the Roman Church can clear herself from the charge of idolatry we cannot see. True, she professes to worship God through these images; so did the Israelites when they bowed before the golden calf. But the Lord’s wrath was kindled against them, and many were slain. God pronounced them impious idolaters, and the same record is made today in the books of heaven against those who adore images of saints and so-called holy men.
“Ku Musumba gwa Rooma kungwisululila kaadi kaukolatrya, twikatwija kumona. Bulelela, udiya amba akukombela Leza ku mu mituntulu eyi; ni ko Abaisilaele baakonzya apo bakakotama kumbele lya mwana wa ng’ombe wa golide. Pele bukali bwa Mwami bwakabukila kuli mbabo, kabotu bunji bwakajayigwa. Leza wakabavuna amba bali bakombi b’efikozya ababi era abatali ba kutina Leza, era ni cilya cimo ecilandiko ecikakolebwa lelo mu bitabo bya mu igulu ku basinza ebifaananyi bya abatukuvu n’abasajja ababoolwa amba batukuvu.”
“And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a change in Catholicism; for Rome never changes. She claims infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of Catholicism. ‘The Bible, the Bible, is the foundation of our faith,’ was the cry of Protestants in Luther’s time, while the Catholics cried, ‘The Fathers, custom, tradition.’ Now many Protestants find it difficult to prove their doctrines from the Bible, and yet they have not the moral courage to accept the truth which involves a cross; therefore they are fast coming to the ground of Catholics, and, using the best arguments they have to evade the truth, cite the testimony of the Fathers, and the customs and precepts of men. Yes, the Protestants of the nineteenth century are fast approaching the Catholics in their infidelity concerning the Scriptures. But there is just as wide a gulf today between Rome and the Protestantism of Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and the noble army of martyrs, as there was when these men made the protest which gave them the name of Protestants.
“Na dini hii ambayo Waprotestanti wanaanza kuitazama kwa upendeleo mkuu hivyo, na ambayo hatimaye itaunganishwa na Uprotestanti. Hata hivyo, muungano huu hautafanyika kwa mabadiliko yoyote katika Ukatoliki; kwa maana Roma habadiliki kamwe. Yadai kutokosea. Ni Uprotestanti utakaobadilika. Kukubali kwake mawazo ya kiliberali kutauleta mahali ambapo unaweza kuushika mkono wa Ukatoliki. ‘Biblia, Biblia, ndiyo msingi wa imani yetu,’ ndicho kilikuwa kilio cha Waprotestanti katika siku za Luther, ilhali Wakatoliki walipaza sauti, ‘Mababa, desturi, mapokeo.’ Sasa Waprotestanti wengi huona ni vigumu kuthibitisha mafundisho yao kutoka katika Biblia, lakini hawana ujasiri wa kimaadili wa kuikubali kweli ile inayohusisha msalaba; kwa hiyo wanakuja upesi kwenye msingi wa Wakatoliki, na, wakitumia hoja bora walizo nazo ili kuiepuka kweli, hunukuu ushuhuda wa Mababa, na desturi na maagizo ya wanadamu. Naam, Waprotestanti wa karne ya kumi na tisa wanawakaribia Wakatoliki upesi katika kutokuamini kwao kuhusu Maandiko. Lakini leo hii bado pana pengo kubwa vivyo hivyo kati ya Roma na Uprotestanti wa Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, na jeshi lile tukufu la wafia-dini, kama lilivyokuwapo wakati watu hawa walipotoa pingamizi lile lililowapa jina la Waprotestanti.”
“Christ was a protestant. He protested against the formal worship of the Jewish nation, who rejected the counsel of God against themselves. He told them that they taught for doctrines the commandments of men, and that they were pretenders and hypocrites. Like whited sepulchers they were beautiful without, but within full of impurity and corruption. The Reformers date back to Christ and the apostles. They came out and separated themselves from a religion of forms and ceremonies. Luther and his followers did not invent the reformed religion. They simply accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles. The Bible is presented to us as a sufficient guide; but the pope and his workers remove it from the people as if it were a curse, because it exposes their pretensions and rebukes their idolatry.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.
“Kristo alikuwa Mprotestanti. Alipinga ibada ya kirasmi ya taifa la Wayahudi, waliokataa shauri la Mungu juu yao wenyewe. Aliwaambia kwamba walifundisha maagizo ya wanadamu kuwa ndiyo mafundisho, na kwamba walikuwa wanafiki na wenye kujifanya. Kama makaburi yaliyopakwa chokaa walikuwa wazuri kwa nje, lakini ndani wamejaa uchafu na uozo. Wanamatengenezo hufuatiliwa kurudi hadi kwa Kristo na mitume. Walitoka wakajitenga na dini ya maumbo na sherehe. Luther na wafuasi wake hawakubuni dini iliyofanyiwa matengenezo. Waliikubali tu kama ilivyowasilishwa na Kristo na mitume. Biblia imewekwa mbele yetu kuwa mwongozo wa kutosha; lakini papa na watenda kazi wake huiweka mbali na watu kana kwamba ni laana, kwa sababu hufunua kujifanya kwao na kukemea ibada yao ya sanamu.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.
Miracles of healing, that form the basis of spiritualism, are her stock and trade.
Malu a kweluka, ayo me sala ntangu ya ntetembelo ya spiritisme, kele mayele na yandi ya mfunu mpe ya kisalu.
“Many endeavor to account for spiritual manifestations by attributing them wholly to fraud and sleight of hand on the part of the medium. But while it is true that the results of trickery have often been palmed off as genuine manifestations, there have been, also, marked exhibitions of supernatural power. The mysterious rapping with which modern spiritualism began was not the result of human trickery or cunning, but was the direct work of evil angels, who thus introduced one of the most successful of soul-destroying delusions. Many will be ensnared through the belief that spiritualism is a merely human imposture; when brought face to face with manifestations which they cannot but regard as supernatural, they will be deceived, and will be led to accept them as the great power of God.
“Bengi bahatue kelakian ialaya mapamindah tandak-tandak rohani denga mangapusi bahawa samua itu semata-mata hasil tipuan deng kecekapan permainan tangan di pihak medium. Tapi, biarpun batul bahwa hasil-hasil tipu daya suah kali dipamapakan sabagai tandak-tandak yang tulin, namun ada juwa pameran-pameran kuasa adikodrati yang nyata. Bunyi ketukan misteri yang denganya spiritualisme moden bermula bukanya hasil tipu daya atau kelicikan manusia, melainkan kerja langsung malaikat-malaikat jahat, yang denga jalan itu mamperkenalkan salah satu penyesatan pembinasa jiwa yang paling berhasil. Ramai orang akan tertangkap melalui kaparcayaan bahwa spiritualisme itu hanya penipuan manusia belaka; apabila dibawa berhadapan langsung denga tandak-tandak yang tiada dapat tidak mesti dianggapnya sabagai adikodrati, marika akan diperdaya, lalu dituntun untuk manarimanya sabagai kuasa besar Allah.”
“These persons overlook the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the wonders wrought by Satan and his agents. It was by satanic aid that Pharaoh’s magicians were enabled to counterfeit the work of God. Paul testifies that before the second advent of Christ there will be similar manifestations of satanic power. The coming of the Lord is to be preceded by ‘the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10. And the apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days, declares: ‘He doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do.’ Revelation 13:13, 14. No mere impostures are here foretold. Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do.” The Great Controversy, 553.
“Van kes şahidanîya Nivîsarên Pîroz li ser ecêbên ku Şeytan û karbidestên wî pêk tînin, bêagah dibînin. Bi alîkariya şeytanî bû ku sihirbazên Fir‘awn karîbûn xebata Xwedê teqlîd bikin. Pawlos şahidî dide ku berî hatina duyemîn a Mesîh dê xuyakirinên weha yên hêza şeytanî hebin. Pêşîya hatina Xudanê bi ‘xebatên Şeytan bi hemû hêz û nîşan û ecêbên derewîn, û bi hemû xapandina neheqiyê’ tê amadekirin. 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10. Û şandî Yûhenna, dema ku hêza kirina mucîzeyan ya ku dê di rojên dawî de were xuyang kirin, tê şirove kirin, dibêje: ‘Ew ecêbên mezin dike, heta ku agir ji ezmên li ser erdê di ber çavên mirovan de tîne xwarê, û yên ku li ser erdê dijîn bi navgîniya wan mucîzeyan yên ku desthilatîya kirina wan heye dixapîne.’ Revelation 13:13, 14. Li vir tenê derew û xapandin nayê pêşbînîkirin. Mirov bi wan mucîzeyan tên xapandin yên ku karbidestên Şeytan desthilatîya kirina wan heye, ne yên ku tenê xwe didin ku dikarin bikin.” The Great Controversy, 553.
The false doctrines built upon customs and traditions, the spiritualistic manifestations of miracles, the counterfeit medical-industrial industry and the combination of churchcraft with statecraft are all the attributes of the beast of Catholicism. Pride is a characteristic of the dragon power. Presumption is the characteristic of the false prophet of apostate Protestantism.

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:1–4.
Ne Yesu, akiwa amejawa na Roho Mtakatifu, akarudi kutoka Yordani, naye akaongozwa na Roho kwenda nyikani, akijaribiwa na Ibilisi kwa muda wa siku arobaini. Naye hakula kitu chochote katika siku hizo; nazo zilipokwisha, baadaye akaona njaa. Ibilisi akamwambia, Ikiwa wewe ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu, amuru jiwe hili liwe mkate. Yesu akamjibu, akisema, Imeandikwa ya kuwa, Mtu hataishi kwa mkate tu, bali kwa kila neno la Mungu. Luka 4:1–4.
Presumption is a noun that refers to the act or instance of assuming something to be true without sufficient evidence or proof. It involves making a judgment or drawing a conclusion based on incomplete or insufficient information. Presumption can also imply a certain level of confidence in one’s assumption, even when it may not be entirely justified.
కుహననిశ్చయం అనగా తగిన సాక్ష్యం గాని ప్రమాణం గాని లేకుండానే ఏదో ఒక విషయాన్ని సత్యమని ఊహించి అంగీకరించే చర్యను లేదా సందర్భాన్ని సూచించే నామవాచకం. ఇది అసంపూర్ణమైన లేదా తక్కువైన సమాచారంపై ఆధారపడి తీర్పు ఇవ్వడం లేదా ఒక నిర్ణయానికి రావడం అనే భావాన్ని కలిగియుంటుంది. కుహననిశ్చయం అనేది, ఆ ఊహ పూర్తిగా సమర్థించబడకపోయినా, దానిపట్ల ఒక నిర్దిష్టమైన స్థాయి నమ్మకాన్ని లేదా ధైర్యాన్ని కూడా సూచించగలదు.
Apostate Protestantism has accepted Sunday as God’s day of worship without any evidence to support that flawed idea from God’s Word, and they do so while knowingly professing that they are Protestants, whose motto is “God’s word alone,” or as Martin Luther proclaimed, “Sola Scriptura!” They choose to accept it based upon the traditions and customs of the Roman church, or perhaps as simply an accepted inheritance from their forefathers. At the loud cry of the third angel the truth that there is absolutely no justification for worshipping the sun that can be provided from the Bible will be clearly revealed, and then those who continue in their flawed presumption will receive the mark of the beast.
Uprotestanti wa uasi umeikubali Jumapili kuwa siku ya Mungu ya ibada bila ushahidi wo wote wa kuitegemeza fikira hiyo potovu kutoka katika Neno la Mungu, nao hufanya hivyo huku wakikiri kwa kujua kwamba wao ni Waprotestanti, ambao kauli mbiu yao ni “Neno la Mungu pekee,” au kama Martin Luther alivyotangaza, “Sola Scriptura!” Huchagua kuikubali kwa msingi wa mapokeo na desturi za kanisa la Roma, au labda kama urithi tu uliokubalika kutoka kwa baba zao. Katika kilio kikuu cha malaika wa tatu ukweli kwamba hakuna kabisa uthibitisho wo wote kutoka katika Biblia wa kuihalalisha ibada ya jua utafunuliwa waziwazi, na ndipo wale watakaoendelea katika dhana yao hiyo potovu watapokea chapa ya mnyama.
“If the light of truth has been presented to you, revealing the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and showing that there is no foundation in the Word of God for Sunday observance, and yet you still cling to the false sabbath, refusing to keep holy the Sabbath which God calls ‘my holy day,’ you receive the mark of the beast. When does this take place?—When you obey the decree that commands you to cease from labor on Sunday and worship God, while you know that there is not a word in the Bible showing Sunday to be other than a common working-day, you consent to receive the mark of the beast, and refuse the seal of God. If we receive this mark in our foreheads or in our hands, the judgments pronounced against the disobedient must fall upon us. But the seal of the living God is placed upon those who conscientiously keep the Sabbath of the Lord.” Review and Herald, April 27, 1911.
“Bwe omusana gw’amazima gwakuleeterwa, ne gukubikkulira Ssabbiiti ey’ekiragiro eky’okuna, era ne gulaga nti mu Kigambo kya Katonda temuli musingi gwonna oguwagira okukuuma Sande, naye ggwe n’oyongera okwegatta ku ssabbiiti ey’obulimba, nga weegaana okutukuza Ssabbiiti Katonda gy’ayita ‘olunaku lwange olutukuvu,’ oteekwa akabonero k’ensolo. Kino kibaawo ddi?—Bw’ogondera etteeka erikulagira okulekera awo emirimu ku Sande n’okusinza Katonda, nga ate omanyi bulungi nti mu Bayibuli temuli na kigambo kimu ekiraga Sande okuba ekirala kyonna wabula olunaku olwa bulijjo olw’okukolerako, olwo okkiriza okuweebwa akabonero k’ensolo, era weegaana akabonero ka Katonda. Bwe tufuna akabonero kano mu byennyi byaffe oba mu mikono gyaffe, emisango egyayogerwa ku batagondera girina okutugwako. Naye akabonero ka Katonda omulamu kateekebwa ku abo abakuuma n’omwoyo omuteefu Ssabbiiti ya Mukama.” Review and Herald, Apuli 27, 1911.
The commonly understood weakness of the Republican party is their willingness to assume their political opponents are fair and honest, when the fruits of the Democratic party clearly reveal that they are the children of the father of lies. Repeatedly and consistently the Republicans take their political opponents at their word, when they have been shown over and over that their opponents never keep their word. They project honest motivations upon those who repeatedly have manifested no rational justification to support the Republicans flawed projections of expected honesty and integrity. It is true also that many Republicans refuse to uphold principle for personal financial gain, or because of secret immoral circumstances that allow them to be easily manipulated, but the primary prophetic attribute of the Republican party is presumption.
Jamhuri ya Republican mara nyingi hueleweka kuwa na udhaifu huu: kuwa tayari kudhani kwamba wapinzani wao wa kisiasa ni wa haki na waaminifu, ilhali matunda ya Jamhuri ya Democratic yanafunua wazi kwamba wao ni watoto wa baba wa uongo. Mara kwa mara na kwa uthabiti, Warepublican huwakamata wapinzani wao wa kisiasa kwa neno lao, ilhali wameonyeshwa tena na tena kwamba wapinzani wao hawashiki kamwe neno lao. Wanawapatia nia za uaminifu wale ambao mara kwa mara wamejidhihirisha bila uhalali wowote wa kimantiki wa kuunga mkono makadirio yenye kasoro ya Warepublican kuhusu uaminifu na unyofu unaotarajiwa. Ni kweli pia kwamba Warepublican wengi hukataa kushikilia kanuni kwa ajili ya faida ya kibinafsi ya kifedha, au kwa sababu ya hali za siri za uasherati zinazowafanya wawe rahisi kudhibitiwa; lakini sifa kuu ya kinabii ya Jamhuri ya Republican ni dhana ya kujichukulia mambo kuwa hivyo bila uthibitisho.
It is the attribute of presumption which is prophetically marked in apostate Protestants, that allows them to pretend they have taken the higher moral and political ground, when in reality they have abdicated their civil responsibilities under the empty expectation that their political opponents will keep their word. The very common definition of insanity is to try and do the same thing over and over, while expecting a different outcome, yet the Republicans argue that it is the Democrats that have been infected with insanity as manifested in their hatred of Trump.

Yet the insanity of the Republicans is repeatedly illustrated as they agree to compromises, under the premise of compromise being the work of the legislative process, while their political compromises, which they claim are based upon the principle of “the legislative process,” is made with a class who never compromise. Democrats only give ground in the political process when they are fully restrained by the numbers against them. They have never provided evidence of truly working for a middle ground with the political process. The insanity of Republicans is their repeated optimistic expectations of others that are fully unwarranted.
しかし、共和党員たちの狂気は、彼らが妥協に同意するたびごとに繰り返し示されている。すなわち、妥協は立法過程の働きであるとの前提の下でそうするのであるが、彼らが「立法過程」という原理に基づくと主張するその政治的妥協は、決して妥協しない一団との間でなされているのである。民主党員たちが政治過程において譲歩するのは、ただ自分たちに対抗する数の力によって完全に抑え込まれている場合に限られる。彼らは、政治過程において真に中間的立場のために働いてきた証拠を、これまで一度も示したことがない。共和党員たちの狂気とは、他者に対して、まったく根拠のない楽観的期待を繰り返し抱くことにある。
By far and away the majority of those who are supportive of Donald Trump will testify to the fact that the worst attribute of Trump is his willingness to accept men as supporters of his agenda, when the available evidence identifies that it was totally presumption on Trump’s part to make that choice. Presumption is the prophetic attribute of apostate Protestantism. Satan tempted Christ by quoting the Bible, but in so doing, Satan twisted the passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.
დონალდ ტრამპის მხარდამჭერთა აბსოლუტური უმრავლესობა დაადასტურებს იმ ფაქტს, რომ ტრამპის ყველაზე უარესი თვისება არის მისი მზაობა, თავის გეგმის მხარდამჭერებად მიიღოს ადამიანები, მაშინ როცა არსებული მტკიცებულება ცხადყოფს, რომ ამ არჩევანის გაკეთება ტრამპის მხრიდან სრულად თავდაჯერებული თვითნებობა იყო. თვითნებური თავდაჯერებულობა განდგომილი პროტესტანტიზმის წინასწარმეტყველური ნიშან-თვისებაა. სატანამ ქრისტე გამოსცადა ბიბლიის ციტირებით, მაგრამ ამით სატანამ ის მონაკვეთი დაამახინჯა და გადააქცია იგი დაუსაბუთებელ და არაბიბლიურ გამოცდად.
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Luke 4:9–12.
Na amuleteleka ku Yerusalemu, akamwimika pa ngodya ya pachanya ya Kachisi, namukambila ati, Nga uli Mwana wa Mulungu, jigwisyeko pasi kufuma pano; pakuti kwalembeka ukuti, Adzalamula angelo ŵake pa iwe, kuti ŵakusunge; ndipo pa mawoko ghawo ŵakukwezgenge, kuti ungagongoweska charu chako pa libwe yayi. Ndipo Yesu wakazgora wakati kwa iyo, Kwayowoyeka ukuti, Ungayezganga yayi Fumu Chiuta wako. Luka 4:9–12.
At the soon-coming Sunday law it will be the Protestants of the United States who will take the biblical mandate to cease from labor on the Sabbath day, and twist the commandment to worship God on the seventh-day Sabbath into a fabricated command that it is actually paganism’s day of the sun that men are required to worship upon. They will twist a biblical passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.
Ku kubbeena kwa mthetho gwa Sonto okutali kwandi, abaProtestanti aba mu United States niibo balitwala ekiragiro kya Bayibuli eky’okulekera awo emirimo ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, ne bakyama ekiragiro eky’okusinza Katonda ku Ssabbiiti ey’olunaku olw’omusanvu ne bakifuula etteeka erya bulimba nti ddala lwe lunaku lw’enjuba olw’obupagaani kwe kulagirwa abantu okusinzizaako.

“I saw that the two-horned beast had a dragon’s mouth, and that his power was in his head, and that the decree would go out of his mouth. Then I saw the Mother of Harlots; that the mother was not the daughters, but separate and distinct from them. She has had her day, and it is past, and her daughters, the Protestant sects, were the next to come on the stage and act out the same mind that the mother had when she persecuted the saints. I saw that as the mother has been declining in power, the daughters had been growing, and soon they will exercise the power once exercised by the mother.
“Namonaki ya kwamba yule mnyama mwenye pembe mbili alikuwa na kinywa cha joka, na ya kwamba uweza wake ulikuwa katika kichwa chake, na ya kwamba amri ingetoka kinywani mwake. Kisha nikamwona Mama wa Makahaba; ya kwamba huyo mama hakuwa wale binti, bali alikuwa tofauti nao na ametengwa nao. Siku yake imekwisha kuwa, nayo imepita, na binti zake, yaani madhehebu ya Kiprotestanti, walikuwa ndio wa kufuata kuja jukwaani na kutenda nia ileile ambayo mama alikuwa nayo alipowatesa watakatifu. Nikaona ya kwamba kama vile mama amekuwa akipungua katika uweza, ndivyo binti zake wamekuwa wakiongezeka, na karibuni watatumia uweza ambao hapo kwanza ulitumiwa na yule mama.
“I saw the nominal church and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to obtain their influence to come against the truth. The saints then will be an obscure people, little known to the Catholics; but the churches and nominal Adventists who know of our faith and customs (for they hated us on account of the Sabbath, for they could not refute it) will betray the saints and report them to the Catholics as those who disregard the institutions of the people; that is, that they keep the Sabbath and disregard Sunday.

Kutani vakwetsimi a va ta va vanhu lava nga tivekiki ngopfu, lava Vakhatoliki va nga tiviki ngopfu hi vona; kambe tikereke ni Vaadiventi va vito ntsena lava tivaka ripfumelo ra hina ni mikhuva ya hina (hikuva a va hi vengile hikwalaho ka Savata, hikuva a va nga swi koti ku yi kaneta) va ta xenga vakwetsimi kutani va va mangalela eka Vakhatoliki tanihi lava honisaka milawu ya vanhu; hi leswaku, leswaku va hlayisa Savata kutani va honisa Sonto.
“Then the Catholics bid the Protestants to go forward, and issue a decree that all who will not observe the first day of the week, instead of the seventh day, shall be slain. And the Catholics, whose numbers are large, will stand by the Protestants. The Catholics will give their power to the image of the beast. And the Protestants will work as their mother worked before them to destroy the saints. But before their decree bring or bear fruit, the saints will be delivered by the Voice of God.” Spalding and Magan, 1, 2.
