We are currently looking very closely at the prophetic characteristics of the history where the papacy returns to the throne of the earth as the eighth head, that is of the seven heads. We are doing so, in order to carefully identify the prophetic characteristics of the history when the eighth president, that is of the seven presidents, fulfills the formation of the image of the papal beast. We have begun our considerations of these truths with Mount Carmel and Herod’s birthday. Both sacred illustrations represent the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, which is also represented in verse forty-one of Daniel chapter eleven.

Tuli ka lelo kuzubulula kwa bulañgǎni bulelemi bwa búprofeti bwa malondo ayo mupapa azongela ku ntebe ya nsi nga mutu wa mwandamukolo, ni wa mitwe sambo. Tuli kwikala tuti ku ci, pakuti tǔlǎmbe na bukeenyi bulañgǎni bwa búprofeti bwa malondo ayo prezida wa mwandamukolo, ni wa baprezida sambo, akupwisha kuumbwa kwa kifwanikiso kya nyama ya kipapa. Twatandike kulangulukila kwa mfululizo aya mazhiniso na Lupili lwa Karmele ne dipwa dya kuzyalwa dya Herode. Byonse bibili, bifwanikiso byezu bya bupatulwishi, bilembeleela Mulawo wa Mulungu wa Pa Sunda uuli kuboola mangu mu United States, oyo woona alimwi uli kuimininwa mu vesi yakwe ya makumi ana aumo ya Daniele cipati ca ikumi na cimo.

He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. Daniel 11:41.

Akeingia pia nchi ile ya utukufu, na nchi nyingi zitaangamizwa; lakini hawa wataokoka kutoka mkononi mwake, yaani, Edomu, na Moabu, na wakuu wa wana wa Amoni. Danieli 11:41.

The counterfeit king of the north enters the glorious land in the verse. The glorious land in the history of ancient Israel was the land of Judah, and it was represented as a land flowing with milk and honey, and for this reason, among others, it was glorious. It was glorious because Christ chose its capital city Jerusalem, as the place of His temple, and the city where he chose to place His name.

Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel: But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 2 Chronicles 6:5, 6.

ከግብፅ ምድር ሕዝቤን ካወጣሁበት ቀን ጀምሮ፥ ስሜ በዚያ እንዲኖር ቤት የሚሠራበትን ከእስራኤል ነገዶች ሁሉ መካከል አንዲትም ከተማ አልመረጥሁም፤ በሕዝቤም በእስራኤል ላይ አለቃ እንዲሆን ማንንም አልመረጥሁም። ነገር ግን ስሜ በዚያ እንዲኖር ኢየሩሳሌምን መርጬአለሁ፤ በሕዝቤም በእስራኤል ላይ እንዲሆን ዳዊትን መርጬአለሁ። 2 ዜና መዋዕል 6፥5፣ 6

The literal land of Judah was the glorious land for literal ancient Israel, and the United States is the spiritual land of Judah, the glorious land for spiritual modern Israel.

Erdê bi xwe ya Yehûda ji bo Îsraêla kevnar a bi xwe erdê şanaz bû, û Dewletên Yekbûyî yên Amerîkayê ji bo Îsraêla nûjen a ruhanî erdê ruhanî ya Yehûda ne, erdê şanaz.

“When the land which the Lord provided as an asylum for His people, that they might worship Him according to the dictates of their own consciences, the land over which for long years the shield of Omnipotence has been spread, the land which God has favored by making it the depository of the pure religion of Christ,—when that land shall, through its legislators, abjure the principles of Protestantism, and give countenance to Romish apostasy in tampering with God’s law,—it is then that the final work of the man of sin will be revealed.” Signs of the Times, June 12, 1893.

“Bhesi ombanga eyi Yehova a pehana nga eswelo ly’abantu biwe, po bhamusambe hakulonda ebyo emitima gyabwe ebibagamba, ombanga eyi, eriho kumyaka minene engabo ya Wobushoborosi bw’Okwima yaramaze etandikire, ombanga eyi Ruhanga ahairi omugisha ngokugigira ekibikiro ky’ediini enyabulere eya Kristo,—bhesi ombanga eyo neyakuba, ku njira y’abashinga-mateka bayo, eshuubire amahame ga Baporotesitante, kandi ehe obuhagizi okuhemuka kwa Kiroma omu kukora ku Mateka ga Ruhanga,—niho omurimo gw’enkomerero ogw’omuntu w’ekibi gulibonakara.” Signs of the Times, June 12, 1893.

After the counterfeit king of the north conquered the king of the south (the former Soviet Union), in verse forty, in 1989, it then conquers the glorious land (the United States). In verse forty-one the word “countries” is a supplied word, and is not fully accurate, for at the Sunday law, the “many” who are overthrown are a class of people who knew the distinction between the seventh-day Sabbath and the day of the sun, before the Sunday law arrived.

Kukala ya fokoloneli ya northi ava ningila kukonsa kukula ya southi (nyima ya Soviet Union), mu vesi foti, mu 1989, pamo ava ningila kukonsa munsi wa ukalamba (United States). Mu vesi foti-wani, shina “countries” lyatwalwa kuwonjezeleka, kabili talyalingana bwino pantu pa nshiku ya Sunday law, “abengi” abo batumpwa ni kikundi kya bantu abeshiba ubupusano pa Sabata ya bushiku bwa cine lubali ne nshiku ya kasuba, ilyo Sunday law taifikile.

“The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Roman church. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false Sabbath in the place of the true, are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. The mark of the beast is the papal Sabbath, which has been accepted by the world in the place of the day of God’s appointment.

“Sabato a lunkwikyo ni kimanyisyo anye kadimbo ka bukulu bwa kleza ya Loma. Abo, pa kwumvwila bya kulombwa bya lulayo lwa buna, basala kulama Sabato wa bufi mu kafulo ka wa cine, ku njila iyo balekumbula bukata kuli ayo maka ayo yeka yalaila iyo. Kadimbo ka nyama ni Sabato wa upapa, oyo nsi yitambula mu kafulo ka dituku dya kubikapo kwa Lesa.

“But the time to receive the mark of the beast, as designated in prophecy, has not yet come. The testing time has not yet come. There are true Christians in every church, not excepting the Roman Catholic communion. None are condemned until they have had the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment. But when the decree shall go forth enforcing the counterfeit Sabbath, and when the loud cry of the third angel shall warn men against the worship of the beast and his image, the line will be clearly drawn between the false and the true. Then those who still continue in transgression will receive the mark of the beast in their foreheads or in their hands.

“Anis ubegi bwo kwakira akara ka ya nyamaswa, nk’uko kategetswe mu buhanuzi, ntiburagera. Igihe cy’igeragezwa ntikiragera. Hari Abakristo b’ukuri mu matorero yose, harimo n’umuryango wa Kiliziya Gatolika y’Abaroma. Nta n’umwe ucirwaho iteka atarabona umucyo kandi atarasobanukirwa n’inshingano y’itegeko rya kane. Ariko igihe itegeko rizasohoka rishyiraho Isabato y’impimbano ku ngufu, kandi igihe ijwi riranguruye rya marayika wa gatatu rizaburira abantu kubyerekeye kuramya ya nyamaswa n’igishushanyo cyayo, umurongo uzatandukanya neza ikinyoma n’ukuri. Maze icyo gihe abazakomereza mu gucumura ni bo bazahabwa akara ka ya nyamaswa mu ruhanga rwabo cyangwa mu biganza byabo.”

“With rapid steps we are approaching this period. When Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution, then will the papal Sabbath be enforced by the combined authority of church and state. There will be a national apostasy, which will end only in national ruin.” Bible Training School, February 2, 1913.

“Ng’iviro cia wĩra mũingĩ nĩtũgũkinyĩra hingo ĩno. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa makanitha ma Kiprotestanti magaikarania na wathani wa kĩrĩra gĩa thĩ nĩguo makinyie kũhingia ngoro ndini ya maheeni, iyo nĩyo aciari ao ma tene maathire gĩkeno kĩa kũnyariirwo mũno nĩ ũndũ wa kũyĩrega, nĩho Sabato ya upapa igakĩrĩrwo na hinya ũrĩ hamwe wa kanitha na wa serikali.

The class of “many” who are overthrown at the soon-coming Sunday law, are those who will be held accountable to the light of the Sabbath, which is the light that is given for that time, which is a turning point, and a crisis in the history of both the church and the nations. That class is the church of Laodicean Adventism that has reached their conclusion of wandering in the wilderness of rebellion. It is there that they are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord for eternity. Laodicean Adventism are those who were called unto the light of the third angel, either at the first Kadesh in the history of 1844, unto 1863, or at the second Kadesh in the history of 2001, unto the Sunday law.

Ji bo çîna “gelek” ku di qanûna Yekşemê ya zû tê de têne hilweşandin, ew in yên ku dê li gorî ronahiya Şemiyê berpirsiyar bêne girtin; ew ronahî ye ku ji bo wê demê hatiye dayîn, ya ku xalek guherînê û krîzeke di dîroka hem dêrê û hem netewan de ye. Ew çîn, dêrê Adventîzma Laodîkeyayê ye ku gihîştiye dawiya gerîna xwe di çolê serhildanê de. Li wir ew ji bo herheyî ji devê Xudan têne avêtin derve. Adventîzma Laodîkeyayê ew in ku hatine gazîkirin bo ronahiya milyaketê sêyem, yan di Kadeşa yekem de di dîroka 1844-an de, heta 1863-an, an jî di Kadeşa duyem de di dîroka 2001-an de, heta qanûna Yekşemê.

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:12–14.

Kandi amwambila, “Mwenzi, walinjila wuli muno kwambula kuvwala ciswalo ca buwinga?” Aye tasobele ukuasuka. Elyo imfumu yabwene ku bakalamba, “Mumukake amaboko ne milundu, mumufumyepo, no kumuposela mu mfifi ya kunse; eko kukaba ukulila no kukeketa amenyo.” Pantu abengi balaitwa, lelo abanono ni bo basalwa. Mateo 22:12–14.

The voice of the third angel, either in 1844, or 2001, was a call unto the wedding. The “many” that are overthrown at the Sunday law, are the “many” who rejected the wedding garment of Christ’s righteousness, and instead become part of the marriage party of the ten kings unto the whore of Rome. For that marriage, a person can keep their own garments, for all they need to take away their reproach is to be called by the surname of the whore that reigns over the ten kings.

Mulia njom yaika ya moola wa katatu, kana mu 1844, kana mu 2001, jali lwito lwa kuya ku bukwe. Abo “bingi” abapondwa pa mweo wa Sunday law, bo “bingi” abaakene kele ka bukwe ka buswe bwa Kristu, ne pa kifulo kyakyo baba kitundu kya kisambu kya bukwe kya bakabaka ikumi ku malaaya wa Rooma. Mu bukwe obo, muntu angasigala ne bilwato byandi mwine, pantu byonse byo basala pakufumyapo insoni yabo kwe kuitwa ku ishina lya malaaya oyo uleteeka pa bakabaka ikumi.

And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. Isaiah 4:1.

Na rino rero abagore barindwi bazafata umugabo umwe, bavuga bati: Tuziryera ibyokurya byacu ubwacu, kandi twambare imyambaro yacu ubwacu; ariko twemererwe gusa kwitwa izina ryawe, kugira ngo dukurweho igisuzuguriro cyacu. Yesaya 4:1.

They failed the first dietary test, for they chose to eat their own bread, instead of the bread of heaven. They failed the second test where they were to glorify God by manifesting His character, but they chose instead to wear their own garments. They failed the third litmus test, for they manifested the name (character) of the beast, for they chose to reject the name (character) of Christ. The purpose that Nimrod built a city (state), and a tower (church), in the first mention of Babylon, was that he might make himself a name.

Béxé hĩ́yú kʉ́na rʉ́mʉ́ tááya, mɨnĩ́ kʉ́na kʉ́lya mùgáté waó wenyewe badala ya Mùgáté wa mbinguni. Béxé hĩ́yú kʉ́na rʉ́mʉ́ rwa kábìlì, ambápo walipaswa kumtukuza Mungu kwa kudhihirisha tabia yake, lakiní badala yake wakachagua kuvaa mavazi yao wenyewe. Béxé hĩ́yú kʉ́na rʉ́mʉ́ rwa tátu, kwa maana walidhihirisha jina (tabia) la mnyama, kwa kuwa walichagua kulikataa jina (tabia) la Kristo. Kusudi ambalo Nimrodi alijenga mji (dola), na mnara (kanisa), katika kutajwa kwa kwanza kwa Babeli, lilikuwa ili ajifanyie jina.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:4.

Nabo bakavuga bati: Nimuze twiyubakire umudugudu n’umunara, umutwe wawo ugere mu ijuru; kandi twiheshe izina, kugira ngo tudatatanywa hirya no hino ku isi yose. Itangiriro 11:4.

Name is a symbol of character, and the prophetic character of the eighth beast, that is of the seven, is the twofold nature of the combination of Church (tower) and State (city). In the crisis of the last days men will separate into two classes.

Dzina i cimanyetso ca kamutima, kandi kamutima ka buhanuzi ka gikoko ca munani, ari co cavuye muri birya indwi, ni imimerere ibiri igizwe n’uguhuzwa kw’Ishengero (umunara) n’Igihugu (igisagara). Mu makuba y’imisi y’iherezo, abantu bazotandukana mu migwi ibiri.

“There can be only two classes. Each party is distinctly stamped, either with the seal of the living God, or with the mark of the beast or his image. Each son and daughter of Adam chooses either Christ or Barabbas as his general. And all who place themselves on the side of the disloyal are standing under Satan’s black banner, and are charged with rejecting and despitefully using Christ. They are charged with deliberately crucifying the Lord of life and glory.” Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.

“រាស្ត្រមានបានតែពីរក្រុមប៉ុណ្ណោះ។ ក្រុមនីមួយៗត្រូវបានសម្គាល់យ៉ាងច្បាស់ មួយដោយត្រារបស់ព្រះដ៏មានព្រះជន្មរស់ ហើយមួយទៀតដោយសញ្ញារបស់សត្វសាហាវ ឬរូបរបស់វា។ កូនប្រុស និងកូនស្រីគ្រប់រូបរបស់អាដាម ជ្រើសរើសទាំងព្រះគ្រីស្ទ ឬបារ៉ាបាសជាមេដឹកនាំរបស់ខ្លួន។ ហើយអស់អ្នកដែលដាក់ខ្លួននៅខាងភាគីនៃពួកមិនស្មោះត្រង់ កំពុងឈរនៅក្រោមទង់ខ្មៅរបស់សាតាំង ហើយត្រូវបានចោទប្រកាន់ថាបានបដិសេធ និងប្រព្រឹត្តយ៉ាងមើលងាយចំពោះព្រះគ្រីស្ទ។ ពួកគេត្រូវបានចោទប្រកាន់ថា បានឆ្កាងព្រះអម្ចាស់នៃជីវិត និងសិរីល្អដោយចេតនា។” Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.

One class will represent the image of the beast, and the other class will represent the image of Christ. One will be wearing Christ’s wedding garment, and the other class will be wearing “their own apparel.” One class will be eating the heavenly diet, and the other will be eating their “own bread.” The class that eats their own bread, and retains their own apparel, represent the “many” who were called by the voice of the third angel, and they are the “many” who are overthrown at the soon-coming Sunday law. Their attempt to redeem their lost condition when their characters are manifested at the crisis of the Sunday law is the false hope that if they can accept the name of the whore of Rome, that doing so will take away their “reproach.”

Ekibi ky’abantu ekimu kirikiikirira ekifaananyi ky’ensolo, ate ekindi kibina kirikiikirira ekifaananyi kya Kristo. Ekimu kiriba kyambadde ekyambalo kya Kristo eky’embaga, ate ekindi kibina kiriba kyambadde “ebyambalo byabwe bo bennyini.” Ekibiina ekimu kiriba kirya emmere ey’omu ggulu, ate ekindi kiriba kirya “emmere yaabwe bo bennyini.” Ekibiina ekirya emmere yaabwe bo bennyini, ne kikuuma ebyambalo byabwe bo bennyini, kirikiikirira “abangi” abaayitibwa n’eddoboozi lya malayika ow’okusatu, era abo be “abangi” abasuulibwa wansi mu mateeka ga Ssande agaali kumpi okujja. Okugezaako kwabwe okununula embeera yaabwe eyabula nga enneeyisa zaabwe zirabisibwa mu buzibu obw’amaanyi obw’amateeka ga Ssande, kwe kusuubira okw’obulimba nti bwe basobola okukkiriza erinnya ly’omwenzi wa Rooma, ekyo okukola kijja kubaggyako “ekivume” kyabwe.

At that time, the few who are chosen are lifted up as the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and there is then another group in verse forty-one who then “escape” the hand of the counterfeit king of the north. The Hebrew word translated as “escape,” in verse forty-one, means to escape as if by slipperiness, and the definition conveys the idea of holding a bar of soap in the water, and due to the slipperiness of the soap, it slips out of your hand. The primary element of the definition of the word, when it is employed in the Hebrew language is that whatever it is that escapes, is something that had, prior to the escape, been under the control of whatever it escapes from.

Ngwikhathi lolo, abalutshwana abakhethiweyo baphakanyiswa njengophawu lwabantu abayinkulungwane elikhulu namashumi amane nane, njalo khona-ke kusekho elinye iqembu evesini lamatshumi amane lanye elisuke “libaleka” esandleni senkosi yamanga yasenyakatho. Ibala lesiHebheru elihunyutshwe ngokuthi “ukubaleka,” evesini lamatshumi amane lanye, litsho ukuphunyuka kungathi kungenxa yokushelela, njalo incazelo yalo iveza umqondo wokubamba isibha sesepha emanzini, bese kuthi ngenxa yokushelela kwesepha, ishelele iphume esandleni sakho. Ingxenye esemqoka yencazelo yalelolizwi, lapho lisetshenziswa khona olimini lwesiHebheru, yikuthi loba kuyini lokho okubalekayo, kuyinto eyayikade, ngaphambi kokubaleka kwayo, iphansi kombuso walokho okubalekwayo kukho.

In verse forty-one, the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet is accomplished.

Na vesi ya makumi foti na moja, umoja wa namna tatu wa joka, mnyama, na nabii wa uongo unakamilishwa.

“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.

“Mbupestanti ba ku Estados Unidos bakeba ku ntwala mu kunolola maboko abo mu kusabuka lukulu lwa mupaka bwang’anga bwakulaba ku maboko bwa Mpepo; bakeba ku sabuka lwela lwa bushiku mu kukwata maboko ne Bukatolika bwa Roma; kabili panshi ya mukoshi wa ubu bumobeshi bwa mitundu itatu, ino nko yakweba ukulondolola intambi sha Roma mu kunyanta pa nsambu sha kampingu.” The Great Controversy, 588.

When the United States joins hands with the United Nations, and the papacy at the Sunday law, there is a group of people who have previously been in the hand of the papacy, who then “escape” from the counterfeit king of the north’s hand. Those people were previously held in the grasp of the papal power. Those people are represented at Herod’s birthday party by John the Baptist, who was then in the captivity of the Roman dungeons, awaiting death or deliverance. The class of people who escape the captivity of the papacy at the Sunday law, are represented by three tribes, and thus symbolize the threefold makeup of modern Babylon.

Omuteko gwOmaŋgombe tagu galikundatana nogu Oŋandja yoŋu United Nations, noPopu pashita pethimbo lyOshiwike, opo pe na ongudu yovanhu yoye ya li nale moshike shoPopu, ndele opo “yi puka” moshike shomukwaniilwa wopombada wowokutunda. Ovanhu ava ya li nale ya kwatelwa moshike shokutumba shopaapali. Ovanhu ava va fanekelwa kofo lyefelelo lyaHerodesi kuJohannes Omushangi, oye a li pethimbo opo mokapita kaadunge koRoma, a teelele efyo nenge ekulilo. Ongudu yovanhu ava tava puka moku kwatelwa kwoPopu pethimbo lyOshiwike, ya fanekelwa komihoko ndatu, ndele ongaho oya simboliza omalunduluko gatatu ogaumba Babilon yonena.

At that very time, the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, calls those people to flee out of Babylon, that they not partake of her judgments that are then to begin. That second voice, is the voice of Christ, but it represents the voice of the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are then proclaiming the third angels’ message with a loud voice. When those who escape the hand (a symbol of submission), they escape the hand of the counterfeit king of the north, and they then find the hand of the true king of the north.

Enzila yene a tyi, sauti ya pili ya Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane yawaita watu hao watoke Babeli kwa kukimbia, wasishiriki katika hukumu zake ambazo ndipo zaanza. Sauti hiyo ya pili ni sauti ya Kristo, lakini yawakilisha sauti ya wale mia moja na arobaini na nne elfu, ambao wakati huo wanatangaza ujumbe wa malaika wa tatu kwa sauti kuu. Wale waokokao kutoka mkononi (ishara ya kujitiisha), huokoka kutoka mkononi mwa mfalme wa kaskazini wa bandia, kisha huupata mkono wa mfalme wa kaskazini wa kweli.

At Mount Carmel the prophets of Baal were slain, and as the masculine false deity they represent the State, and the prophets of Ashtaroth represent the Church. Elijah slew the prophets of Baal, thus identifying the end of the sixth kingdom, though the religion of apostate Protestantism as represented by Salome, was still represented. Salome, Apostate Protestantism, as Salome, seduces Herod, and the ten kings agree to enter into a Church and State alliance with the eighth head, that was of the seven heads. Salome is the one who the incestuous Herod lusts after in his heart.

Ku Mlima Karmeli manabii wa Baali waliuawa, na kwa kuwa huyo mungu wa uongo wa kiume wanayemwakilisha ni Serikali, na manabii wa Ashtaroth wanaliwakilisha Kanisa. Eliya akawaua manabii wa Baali, hivyo akiutambulisha mwisho wa ufalme wa sita, ijapokuwa dini ya Uprotestanti ulioasi, kama inavyowakilishwa na Salome, ilikuwa bado inawakilishwa. Salome, Uprotestanti Ulioasi, akiwa Salome, humshawishi Herode, na hao wafalme kumi hukubali kuingia katika muungano wa Kanisa na Serikali pamoja na kichwa cha nane, ambacho kilikuwa miongoni mwa vichwa saba. Salome ndiye yule ambaye Herode wa zinaa hutamani moyoni mwake.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28.

Asea ngginia n'ku: O muntu yoso onene mwanakazi nge kuswa kumutegemea, neakola busambi nandi lolo mu mutima wakwe kale. Mateo 5:28.

Herod’s incestuous lust in his heart, joined their flesh together in his heart, and he therefore became one with Salome.

심중에 품은 헤롯의 근친상간적 정욕이 그들의 육체를 그의 마음속에서 하나로 결합시켰으므로, 그리하여 그는 살로메와 한 몸이 되었다.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24.

Niya pwiyiya umuntu akaya na ise na nyina, kandi akomatane n’umugore wiwe; na bo bazoba umubiri umwe. Itanguriro 2:24.

At Herod’s birthday party, Herod and Salome became united, and Herod, who was typified by Ahab, is the head of the ten kings of the northern kingdom. At the soon coming Sunday law, the sixth kingdom of the earth beast ends when the horns that had become one horn representing the combination of the horns of Church and State (the image of the beast), is slain by Elijah. Salome then seduces Herod, becomes one with him, and convinces him to give half his kingdom (the world-wide State) to her mother (the world-wide Church). Salome has then taken control of Ahab and his ten tribes, for the ten kings all agree with each other.

헤롯의 생일 잔치에서 헤롯과 살로메는 연합하게 되었으며, 아합으로 예표된 헤롯은 북방 왕국의 열 왕의 머리이다. 곧 다가올 일요일 법 때에, 교회와 국가의 뿔들의 결합을 나타내는 한 뿔(곧 짐승의 우상)이 된 그 뿔들이 엘리야에 의해 죽임을 당할 때, 땅의 짐승의 여섯째 왕국은 끝난다. 그때 살로메는 헤롯을 유혹하여 그와 하나가 되고, 자기 어머니에게 그의 왕국의 절반(곧 세계적인 국가)을 주도록 그를 설득한다. 그리하여 살로메는 아합과 그의 열 지파를 장악하게 되는데, 이는 그 열 왕이 모두 서로 뜻을 같이하기 때문이다.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Revelation 17:12, 13.

Na pembe kumi ulizoziona ni wafalme kumi, ambao bado hawajapokea ufalme; bali wapokea mamlaka kama wafalme saa moja pamoja na yule mnyama. Hawa wana nia moja, nao watampa yule mnyama nguvu zao na uwezo wao. Ufunuo 17:12, 13.

The beast they give their power and strength unto is the beast that the whore rides upon. The beast represents the character of the image, which is the combination of Church and State, with the woman (Church) in control of the relationship, for it is a Latin marriage, where the surname is the name of the wife, and where the woman rules over the man, in rebellion against the true marriage relationship.

Mnyama yule ambaye wanampa uwezo wao na nguvu zao ni yule mnyama ambaye yule kahaba amempanda. Mnyama huyo anawakilisha tabia ya ile sanamu, nayo ni muungano wa Kanisa na Serikali, huku mwanamke (Kanisa) akiwa ndiye anayetawala uhusiano huo; kwa maana ni ndoa ya Kilatini, ambamo jina la ukoo ni jina la mke, na ambamo mwanamke humtawala mwanamume, katika uasi dhidi ya uhusiano wa kweli wa ndoa.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Genesis 3:16.

Kiume ku mukĩ, Nĩngũingĩhĩria mũno kĩeha gĩaku na kũmĩa gwaku nda; na nĩũgaciara ciana na kĩeha; na kwĩhũra gwaku gũgaakorwo nĩ kwa mũthuuri waku, na we nĩagũgĩa. Mwandĩko wa Kĩambĩrĩria 3:16.

The ten kings are of one mind, and one heart.

Avashemi na malkia kumi vayo ni wa nia imwe, na wa moyo umwe.

“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.

“Ukusululwa 17:13–14 kwacaphunwa. ‘Laba banomqondo munye.’ Kuyakuba khona isibopho sobunye esiyizwe lonke, ukuvumelana okukodwa okukhulu, umfelandawonye wamabutho kaSathane. ‘Futhi bayakunika isilo amandla abo namandla abo.’ Ngalokho kubonakaliswa wona lawo mandla obushiqela nacindezelayo amelene nenkululeko yenkolo, inkululeko yokukhulekela uNkulunkulu ngokwemiyalo kanembeza, njengoba abonakaliswa ubuPapa, lapho esikhathini esedlule bushushisa labo abanesibindi sokwenqaba ukuvumelana nemikhosi nezinkambiso zenkolo yobuRoma.”

“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.

“Mu lutalo olugenda okulwanibwa mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma walibaawo okwegatta, mu kuziyiza abantu ba Katonda, amaanyi gonna amavundu agakyamye okuva ku bwesigwa eri amateeka ga Yakuwa. Mu lutalo luno Ssabbiiti ey’ekiragiro eky’okuna ye eriba ensonga enkulu eneesalirwako; kubanga mu kiragiro kya Ssabbiiti Omuteesi w’Amateeka Omukulu yeeyanjudde ng’Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

The ten kings, whose leader is Ahab, or Herod, have been seduced by Salome, the daughter of Herodias. The United Nations, who at the Sunday law is seduced by Salome, the false religion of apostate Protestantism, and who was formerly the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, takes control of the kingdom of ten kings, who all agree to give half their kingdom unto the religion of Catholicism. They make this unanimous decision, for all the kings were seduced by Salome’s seductive dance. They agree to place their united strength into the work of killing those represented by John the Baptist.

Bakama ikumi, ambao kiongozi wao ni Ahabu, au Herode, wamedanganywa na Salome, binti ya Herodia. Umoja wa Mataifa, ambao wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili hudanganywa na Salome, yaani dini ya uongo ya Uprotestanti ulioasi, na ambao hapo awali ulikuwa ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia, hutwaa mamlaka juu ya ufalme wa bakama ikumi, ambao wote hukubaliana kutoa nusu ya ufalme wao kwa dini ya Ukatoliki. Hufanya uamuzi huu kwa kauli moja, kwa maana bakama wote walidanganywa na ngoma ya ushawishi ya Salome. Hukubaliana kuweka nguvu yao ya umoja katika kazi ya kuwaua wale wanaowakilishwa na Yohana Mbatizaji.

The beast (the United Nations) is governed by a premier king (the daughter of Jezebel). Jezebel had directed her daughter to initiate the adulterous and incestuous relationship with Herod and the other kings, for she is the mother of harlots. She is the pimp of her own daughter. Herod, Ahab and the United Nations were seduced by the false prophet, who is the United States. The United States, ceases to be the sixth kingdom when the prophets of Baal were slain, and the prophets of Ashtaroth (Salome) immediately become the governing power of the seventh kingdom, as it duplicates in the world, what it just accomplished in the United States.

Hoywanê (Neteweyên Yekbûyî) ji aliyê padîşahekî pêşeng ve tê rêvebirin (keça Îzebêl). Îzebêl keça xwe rêberî kiribû ku pêwendiya zînayî û xwîn-têkelî bi Hêrod û padîşahên din re dest pê bike, çimkî ew dayika fahişeyan e. Ew qewwadê keça xwe ye. Hêrod, Ahab û Neteweyên Yekbûyî ji aliyê pêxemberê derewîn ve hatin xapandin, ku ew Dewletên Yekbûyî ne. Dewletên Yekbûyî, dema ku pêxemberên Baal hatin kuştin, dest ji bûna padîşahiya şeşemîn berdide, û pêxemberên Aştarotê (Salome) di cih de dibin hêza rêvebir a padîşahiya heftemîn, wekî ku ew di cîhanê de wê tiştê ku nûha li Dewletên Yekbûyî pêk anîye, dubare dike.

The beast is the kings who are in a relationship with the whore’s daughter, and the whore is the woman that rules over the beast. Jesus illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing. Just as Revelation chapter seventeen’s illustration of eight kingdoms unsealed the eight kingdoms of Daniel chapter two, the beast and the woman that rides upon the beast unseals another prophetic truth, that is based upon the first representing the last.

Revelation chapter seventeen is the last reference to the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, and therefore demands that Daniel chapter two, which is the first reference to the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, of prophetic necessity must also represent eight kingdoms, of which the eighth kingdom was of the seven. So too, the judgment of the woman and the beast she rides upon in chapter seventeen, must be represented in the first judgment of the whore in 1798.

The angel informed John at the opening of chapter seventeen, that he was going to show the judgment of the great whore and of the beast she rides upon. The first time the whore was judged has been correctly understood as 1798 when the papacy received its deadly wound, and the time of the end arrived. Yet when a “time of the end” is represented in prophetic history there are always two waymarks symbolized by people. The birth of Aaron and his brother Moses was the time of the end in that history. Those two waymarks typified the birth of John the Baptist, and sixth months later his cousin Jesus, thus marking the time of the end for that history. At the end of the seventy-year captivity, which typifies the time of the end in 1798, Darius and his nephew Cyrus are the two waymarks of the time of the end. Together, they typify Reagan and Bush the first, in the time of the end of 1989.

Malaika alimjulisha Yohana mwanzoni mwa sura ya kumi na saba kwamba angemwonyesha hukumu ya kahaba mkuu na ya yule mnyama ambaye humpanda. Mara ya kwanza kahaba huyo alipo hukumiwa imeeleweka kwa usahihi kuwa ni mwaka wa 1798 wakati upapa ulipopokea jeraha lake la mauti, na wakati wa mwisho ukafika. Hata hivyo, wakati “wakati wa mwisho” unapoonyeshwa katika historia ya unabii, daima kunakuwa na alama mbili za wakati zinazoashiriwa na watu. Kuzaliwa kwa Haruni na ndugu yake Musa kulikuwa wakati wa mwisho katika historia hiyo. Hizo alama mbili za wakati zilifananisha kuzaliwa kwa Yohana Mbatizaji, na miezi sita baadaye binamu yake Yesu, hivyo zikiweka alama ya wakati wa mwisho kwa historia hiyo. Mwishoni mwa ule utumwa wa miaka sabini, ambao unafananisha wakati wa mwisho mwaka wa 1798, Dario na mpwa wake Koreshi ni zile alama mbili za wakati wa mwisho. Kwa pamoja, wao wanawafananisha Reagan na Bush wa kwanza, katika wakati wa mwisho wa 1989.

1798, which was the time of the end when the book of Daniel was unsealed in Millerite history, identified the prophetic death of the political element of the beast of Catholicism. Napoleon’s general Berthier walked right into the Vatican, arrested the pope and ended the political authority of the beast of Catholicism. A year later, in 1799, the woman who had ridden that beast through the centuries, represented by the pope, died in captivity. The judgment of the whore, includes the judgment upon the beast she employed to govern the nations. Revelation chapter seventeen identifies both the judgment of the beast, and also the whore who rules over and rides upon the beast.

1798, ambayo ilikuwa wakati wa mwisho ambapo kitabu cha Danieli kilifunguliwa katika historia ya Wamilerite, ilitambulisha kifo cha kinabii cha kipengele cha kisiasa cha mnyama wa Ukatoliki. Jenerali wa Napoleon, Berthier, aliingia moja kwa moja Vatikani, akamkamata papa na kukomesha mamlaka ya kisiasa ya mnyama wa Ukatoliki. Mwaka mmoja baadaye, mwaka 1799, yule mwanamke aliyekuwa amempanda mnyama huyo katika karne zote, akiwakilishwa na papa, alikufa akiwa kifungoni. Hukumu ya kahaba huyo inajumuisha pia hukumu juu ya mnyama aliyemtumia kutawala mataifa. Ufunuo sura ya kumi na saba inatambulisha hukumu ya mnyama, na pia ya kahaba anayetawala juu ya mnyama huyo na kumpanda.

“The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.

“Dünya fırtına, savaş ve ihtilafla doludur. Ne var ki, tek bir baş altında—papalık kudreti altında—halk, Tanrı’ya O’nun tanıkları şahsında karşı koymak üzere birleşecektir.” Testimonies, cilt 7, 182.

The eighth head, that is of the seven, is the papal power that reigns over the beast that is made up of ten kings who are governed by the daughter of the whore who rides upon the beast. The elements of the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven must be seen in the eighth and last president, who is of the seven presidents, when the image of the beast is formed within the United States. The combination of the apostate horns of Republicanism and Protestantism must have a “head” that rules over the image of the beast, and that ruler will be a dictator extraordinaire.

Omuthwe gwonti gwa munaana, oguli ku musanvu, bwe buyinza bwa paapa obufuga ensolo erimu bakabaka ekkumi abafugibwa omuwala w’omwenzi eyeebagala ku nsolo. Ebitundu by’obwakabaka obw’omunaana, obuli ku musanvu, birina okulabibwa mu pulezidenti ow’omunaana era ow’enkomerero, ali ku basanvu ba bapulezidenti, ekifaananyi ky’ensolo bwe kinaabanga kikolebwa munda mu United States. Okwegatta kw’amayembe agakyamye aga Republicanism ne Protestantism kulina okuba n’“omutwe” afuga ekifaananyi ky’ensolo, era omufuzi oyo aliba nnakyewa ow’enjawulo ennyo.

A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. Psalms 83:1–8.

Asafu wa lwimbo, au Zaburi. Ee Mungu, usinyamaze; usikae kimya, wala usitulie, ee Mungu. Maana, tazama, adui zako wanafanya ghasia; nao wakuchukiao wameinua kichwa. Wamefanya shauri la hila juu ya watu wako, na kushauriana juu ya wako ulio waficha. Wamesema, Njoni, tukawakatilie mbali wasiwe taifa; ili jina la Israeli lisikumbukwe tena kamwe. Maana wameshauriana pamoja kwa nia moja; wamefanya agano juu yako: hema za Edomu, na Waishmaeli; Moabu, na Wahagari; Gebali, na Amoni, na Amaleki; Wafilisti pamoja na wakaao Tiro; Ashuru naye amejiunga nao; wamewasaidia wana wa Lutu. Sela. Zaburi 83:1–8.
