The book of Daniel identifies that it is Rome that establishes the vision, and that understanding was opposed by the Protestants of Millerite history when William Miller identified this fact. In the last days, it is still Rome that establishes the vision, and today Laodicean Adventism now upholds the fallen Protestant view that the robbers of thy people are Antiochus Epiphanes. The covenant people that were being passed by in Millerite history resisted the very same truth, that is now resisted by the covenant people of the last days that are now being passed by. Solomon said it well:

Kitabu cha Danieli kinaonyesha kwamba ni Roma inayoisimamisha ile njozi, na uelewa huo ulipingwa na Waprotestanti wa historia ya Wamilleri wakati William Miller alipotambua ukweli huu. Katika siku za mwisho, bado ni Roma inayoisimamisha ile njozi, na leo Uadventista wa Laodikia sasa unashikilia mtazamo wa Kiprotestanti ulioanguka kwamba wanyang’anyi wa watu wako ni Antioko Epifane. Watu wa agano waliokuwa wakipitiliwa mbali katika historia ya Wamilleri waliipinga kweli iyo hiyo, ambayo sasa inapigwa vita na watu wa agano wa siku za mwisho ambao sasa wanapitiliwa mbali. Sulemani alisema vema:

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10.

Ekyabayeho ni kyo ekiribaawo; era ekikolebwa kye kirikolebwa: so taliiwo kintu kipya munsi y’enjuba. Hariho ekintu kyona ekishemereire kugambwaho ngu, Reeba, eki ni kipya? Kikabaireho ira munonga, omu biro ebyatwebembeire. Omubuurizi 1:9, 10.

Prophetically there are three manifestations of Rome, and the first two manifestations identify the characteristics of the third, for truth is established upon the testimony of two.

لە ڕووی پێشبینییەوە، سێ دەرکەوتنی ڕۆما هەن، و دوو دەرکەوتنی یەکەم تایبەتمەندییەکانی سێیەم دیاری دەکەن، چونکە ڕاستی لەسەر شایەتیی دووان دامەزراوە.

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Matthew 18:16.

Lakini asipokusikia, chukua pamoja nawe mtu mmoja au wawili zaidi, ili kwa vinywa vya mashahidi wawili au watatu kila neno lithibitishwe. Mathayo 18:16.

The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and paganism is a counterfeit of true religion. It is not so much a counterfeit in the sense that counterfeit currency is understood, for paganism actually looks nothing like true religion. But prophetically it has counterfeit characteristics. The City of Rome is a counterfeit of Jerusalem, and it has a temple (the Pantheon) that was a counterfeit of the temple in Jerusalem. The religious practices of paganism are unsanctified and devilish, but they represent Satan’s counterfeit religious practices. The head of pagan Rome’s religion was titled Pontifex Maximus. “Pontifex Maximus” originally referred to the chief priest of the Roman state religion in ancient Rome, with its origins dating back to the early Roman Republic. Over time, it became associated with political and religious authority and eventually evolved into the title used by the Pope in the Roman Catholic Church today.

Exieli ya Roma ya kipagani ilikuwa upagani, na upagani ni bandia ya dini ya kweli. Si bandia sana katika maana ambayo fedha bandia hueleweka, kwa maana upagani kwa kweli haufanani hata kidogo na dini ya kweli. Lakini kinabii una tabia za bandia. Mji wa Roma ni bandia ya Yerusalemu, nao una hekalu (Pantheon) ambalo lilikuwa bandia ya hekalu lililokuwa Yerusalemu. Matendo ya kidini ya upagani hayajatakaswa na ni ya kishetani, lakini yanawakilisha matendo ya kidini ya bandia ya Shetani. Kiongozi wa dini ya Roma ya kipagani alikuwa na cheo cha Pontifex Maximus. “Pontifex Maximus” hapo awali lilirejelea kuhani mkuu wa dini ya serikali ya Kirumi katika Roma ya kale, asili yake ikirejea katika siku za mwanzo za Jamhuri ya Kirumi. Kadiri wakati ulivyopita, likahusishwa na mamlaka ya kisiasa na ya kidini na hatimaye likageuka kuwa cheo kinachotumiwa na Papa katika Kanisa Katoliki la Roma leo.

The title of the chief priest of pagan Rome was Pontifex Maximus, and it was also the title of the chief priest of papal Rome and it is a Latin term that means the “Greatest of Supreme Pontiff.” He was the chief priest of the Roman state religion, particularly the cult of the god Jupiter. The Pontifex Maximus had significant religious authority and responsibilities, including overseeing various religious rites and ensuring the proper functioning of the Roman religious calendar. The Pontifex Maximus was the head of the College of Pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum), a group of priests responsible for interpreting and maintaining the rituals of Roman religion.

The chief priest of both pagan and papal Rome was Pontifex Maximus, therefore the title of the head of modern Rome will naturally also be Pontifex Maximus. The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and the religion of papal Rome was, and still is, paganism, but cloaked by a profession of Christianity, and the religion of last-day modern Rome will be paganism, cloaked by a profession of Christianity.

Umuherezabitambo mukuru w’i Roma ya gipagani n’iya Roma ya gipapa yari Pontifex Maximus; ni cyo gituma umutwe wa Roma y’iki gihe na wo, mu buryo busanzwe, azitwa Pontifex Maximus.

Both pagan and papal Rome had a specific period of time that they would rule supremely. Pagan Rome was to rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years in fulfillment of the time prophecy of Daniel chapter eleven, verse twenty-four.

Ub Roma ubwapagani n’Ub Roma ubwa papa byari bifise ikiringo cihariye vyari kuganza mu buryo buhambaye cane. Ub Roma ubwapagani bwari kuganza mu buryo buhambaye cane imyaka amajana atatu na mirongo itandatu, mu gushitsa ubuhanuzi bw’igihe bwo muri Daniyeli ikigabane ca cumi na kimwe, umurongo wa makumyabiri na kane.

He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.

Atoingila kwa amani hata katika sehemu zilizo na unono mwingi sana za jimbo; naye atafanya yale ambayo baba zake hawakuyafanya, wala baba za baba zake; atawatawanya kati yao mateka, na nyara, na mali nyingi; naam, atapanga hila zake juu ya ngome zilizo imara, hata kwa muda. Danieli 11:24.

The subject of verse twenty-four is pagan Rome, for they became the subject in verse sixteen, and continue as the subject until verse thirty-one. We will address these verses specifically in coming articles, but here we are simply pointing out that prophecy identified that pagan Rome would rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years, as represented by Rome “forecasting” their “devices against the strong holds, even for a time.” The word translated “against” actually means “from,” and the verse is saying that Rome would direct the world “from” the “strong holds,” which was the City of Rome, and it would do so for a “time”, which is three hundred and sixty years.

Pagan Rome began to rule supremely at the Battle of Actium, in 31 BC, and continued to rule supremely until the year 330 AD, when Constantine moved the capital of the empire from the stronghold of the City of Rome, to the City of Constantinople. Then the empire began its infamous decline. The City of Rome was the prophetic “strong hold” for pagan Rome, and when it ruled from that city it was invincible. In the warfare that followed Constantine’s transfer of power, the City of Rome became the target of attack for Genseric and the invading barbarian tribes, who are represented by the first four Trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.

Roma ya Kipagani ilianza kutawala kwa ukuu mkuu katika Vita vya Actium mwaka 31 KK, nayo ikaendelea kutawala kwa ukuu mkuu hadi mwaka 330 BK, wakati Konstantino alipouhamisha mji mkuu wa ufalme kutoka ngome ya Mji wa Roma kwenda Mji wa Konstantinopoli. Ndipo ufalme ukaanza anguko lake lenye sifa mbaya. Mji wa Roma ulikuwa “ngome” ya kiunabii ya Roma ya Kipagani, na ilipotawala kutoka mji huo haikushindika. Katika vita vilivyofuata baada ya Konstantino kuhamisha mamlaka, Mji wa Roma ukawa shabaha ya mashambulizi ya Genseric na makabila ya kibarbari wavamizi, ambao wanawakilishwa na Baragumu nne za kwanza za Ufunuo sura ya nane.

For this reason in Daniel chapter eleven, verse thirty-one, the “arms” (pagan Rome) that stood up for the papacy, first polluted the “sanctuary of strength.” The City of Rome is the prophetic “sanctuary of strength” for both pagan and papal Rome, for in the year 330, with the transfer of pagan authority to Constantinople, the City of Rome was left to papal Rome that was on the rise. For this reason, Revelation chapter thirteen, verse two says the dragon (pagan Rome), gave papal Rome its “seat.” A “seat” is where a power rules from, and from the year 538 through to 1798, papal Rome ruled supremely as had pagan Rome ruled supremely for “a time”.

Ku sababu hiyo katika Danieli sura ya kumi na moja, mstari wa thelathini na mmoja, “mikono” (Rumi ya kipagani) iliyosimama kwa ajili ya upapa, kwanza iliutia unajisi “patakatifu pa nguvu.” Mji wa Rumi ndio “patakatifu pa nguvu” wa kinabii kwa Rumi ya kipagani na kwa Rumi ya kipapa pia, kwa maana katika mwaka 330, kwa kuhamishwa kwa mamlaka ya kipagani kwenda Konstantinopoli, Mji wa Rumi uliachwa kwa Rumi ya kipapa iliyokuwa ikiinuka. Kwa sababu hiyo, Ufunuo sura ya kumi na tatu, mstari wa pili unasema kwamba yule joka (Rumi ya kipagani), aliipa Rumi ya kipapa “kiti chake.” “Kiti” ni mahali ambapo mamlaka hutawala kutoka, na tangu mwaka 538 hadi 1798, Rumi ya kipapa ilitawala kwa ukuu kama vile Rumi ya kipagani ilivyotawala kwa ukuu kwa “wakati mmoja”.

Prophecy identifies a specific period of time when both pagan and papal Rome would rule supremely, and when they did so it would be from their seat of authority, which was the City of Rome. Pagan Rome’s invincibility ended when they left the City of Rome, marking the end of the three hundred and sixty years, represented as a “time” in verse twenty-four, and when the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal rule ended in 1798, Napoleon had the pope taken out of the City of Rome and he died in exile.

پێشبینی ماوەیەکی تایبەت لە کات دەناسێنێت کە تێیدا هەردوو ڕۆمای بەتپەرست و پاپایەتی بە شێوەیەکی باڵادەستانە فەرمانڕەواییان دەکرد، و کاتێک ئەوان ئاوا دەکرد، ئەو فەرمانڕەواییەیان لە کورسیی دەسەڵاتەوە بوو، کە شارەکەی ڕۆما بوو. بێ‌بەرامبەربوونی ڕۆمای بەتپەرست کۆتایی پێهات کاتێک شارەکەی ڕۆمایان جێهێشت، و ئەمە نیشانەی کۆتایی هاتنی سێ سەد و شەست ساڵەکە بوو، کە لە ئایەتی بیست و چواردا وەک «کات» پێشکەش کراوە، و کاتێک هەزار و دوو سەد و شەست ساڵی فەرمانڕەوایی پاپایەتی لە ساڵی 1798دا کۆتایی هات، ناپلیۆن فەرمانی دا پاپا لە شارەکەی ڕۆما دەربهێندرێت و لە دوورەپەرێزیدا مرد.

Pagan Rome and Papal Rome establish that modern Rome will rule supremely for a specific prophetic period in the last days. “Time is no longer”, but the period of papal persecution of the last days is a specific period that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States and continues until human probation closes, when Michael stands up and pronounces, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”

Uroma wa kipagani na Uroma wa Kipapa huweka wazi kwamba Uroma wa kisasa utatawala kwa ukuu mkuu kwa kipindi maalumu cha kinabii katika siku za mwisho. “Wakati haupo tena,” lakini kipindi cha mateso ya kipapa ya siku za mwisho ni kipindi mahsusi kinachoanza katika sheria ya Jumapili itakayokuja upesi nchini Marekani na kuendelea mpaka muda wa rehema kwa wanadamu utakapofungwa, hapo Mikaeli atasimama na kutangaza, “Yeye asiye haki, na aendelee kuwa asiye haki bado; na yeye aliye mchafu, na aendelee kuwa mchafu bado; na yeye aliye mwenye haki, na aendelee kuwa mwenye haki bado; na yeye aliye mtakatifu, na aendelee kuwa mtakatifu bado.”

Pagan Rome persecuted Christians in the Colosseum in the City of Rome during its bloody history, and Christian historians have estimated that during the Dark Ages of papal rule one hundred million martyrs were murdered by the papacy, but the papacy denies that claim and sets the estimate at about fifty million. Pagan and papal Rome both persecuted God’s faithful, and modern Rome will also persecute God’s faithful people in the last days.

Uroma wa kipagani uliwatesa Wakristo katika Kolosayo ndani ya Mji wa Roma katika historia yake ya umwagaji damu, na wanahistoria Wakristo wamekadiria kwamba wakati wa Enzi za Giza za utawala wa kipapa wafia-imani milioni mia moja waliuawa na upapa, lakini upapa unakanusha dai hilo na kuweka makadirio hayo kuwa karibu milioni hamsini. Roma ya kipagani na ya kipapa zote mbili ziliwatesa waaminifu wa Mungu, na Roma ya kisasa nayo pia itawatesa watu waaminifu wa Mungu katika siku za mwisho.

“Many will be imprisoned, many will flee for their lives from cities and towns, and many will be martyrs for Christ’s sake in standing in defense of the truth.” Selected Messages, book 3, 397.

“Benshi banji bakafungwa, benshi bakahungira ubuzima bwabo bava mu migi no mu duce tw’imidugudu, kandi benshi bazaba abahowe Kristo bahagaze mu kurwanirira ukuri.” Selected Messages, igitabo cya 3, 397.

Pagan Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Papal Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Modern Rome overcame the King of the South (the atheistic Soviet Union) in 1989, and will next overthrow the glorious land (the United States) at the soon coming Sunday law. It will then overcome Egypt (the entire world).

Ромын харь шашинт улс дэлхийг эрхшээлдээ оруулахдаа газарзүйн гурван саадыг даван гарсан. Папын Ром ч мөн дэлхийг эрхшээлдээ оруулахдаа газарзүйн гурван саадыг даван гарсан.

“All society is ranging into two great classes, the obedient and the disobedient. Among which class shall we be found?

“Gesellschaft bi tevahî dikeve nav du çînên mezin: yên guhdar û yên neguhdar. Em ê di kîjan çînê de bên dîtin?

“Those who keep God’s commandments, those who live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, compose the church of the living God. Those who choose to follow Antichrist are subjects of the great apostate. Ranged under the banner of Satan, they break God’s law, and lead others to break it. They endeavor so to frame the laws of nations that men shall show their loyalty to earthly governments by trampling upon the laws of God’s kingdom.

“Abū bagumisha amabwiriza y’Imana, abaho batunzwe atari n’umutsima gusa, ahubwo n’ijambo ryose rituruka mu kanwa k’Imana, ni bo bagize Itorero ry’Imana ihoraho.

“Satan is diverting minds with unimportant questions, in order that they shall not with clear and distinct vision see matters of vast importance. The enemy is planning to ensnare the world.

“Sehene obutamanya bw’abantu n’ebibuuzo ebitali bya mugaso, baleme okulaba n’okutegeera mu ngeri entegeerekeka obulungi ensonga ez’obukulu ennyo. Omulabe ategeka okugwisa ensi mu mutego.”

“The so-called Christian world is to be the theater of great and decisive actions. Men in authority will enact laws controlling the conscience, after the example of the Papacy. Babylon will make all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Every nation will be involved.” Manuscript Releases, volume 1, 296.

“لە جیهانی پێی دەوترێت مەسیحی، شانۆی کارە گەورە و یەکلاکارەکان دەبێت. پیاوانی دەسەڵاتدار، بە نمونەی پاپایەتی، یاساکان دادەنێن کە ویژدان کۆنترۆڵ دەکەن. بابڵ هەموو نەتەوەکان دەکات لە شەرابی تووڕەی زیناکردنی خۆی بخۆنەوە. هەر نەتەوەیەک تێوەگڵاو دەبێت.” Manuscript Releases, volume 1, 296.

In order to defend the truth that identifies the “glorious land” of Daniel eleven verse forty-one as a symbol of the United States, the Lion of the tribe of Judah opened to the students of prophecy of the last days the principle of the triple application of prophecy. The light from those last six verses, have been established by applying the history represented by “the daily” in the book of Daniel, as set forth in verse thirty-one of Daniel eleven, unto the last six verses of the chapter. The same bedrock truth (“the daily”), that became the key of Miller’s prophetic framework, also produced the prophetic framework of the last days. Miller’s framework was based upon the two desolating powers of paganism and papalism that persecuted God’s people, and the framework of the last days is based upon the three desolating powers that persecute God’s people in the last days.

Kuusimamia ukweli unaoutambulisha “nchi ya utukufu” ya Danieli kumi na moja aya ya arobaini na moja kuwa ishara ya Marekani, Simba wa kabila la Yuda aliwafunulia wanafunzi wa unabii wa siku za mwisho kanuni ya matumizi matatu ya unabii. Nuru itokayo katika aya hizo sita za mwisho imeimarishwa kwa kutumia historia inayowakilishwa na “ya daima” katika kitabu cha Danieli, kama ilivyoelezwa katika aya ya thelathini na moja ya Danieli kumi na moja, kwa aya sita za mwisho za sura hiyo. Ukweli huo huo wa msingi imara (“ya daima”), uliokuwa ufunguo wa mfumo wa unabii wa Miller, pia ulizaa mfumo wa unabii wa siku za mwisho. Mfumo wa Miller ulitegemezwa juu ya mamlaka mbili ziletazo ukiwa, yaani upagani na upapa, ambazo ziliwatesa watu wa Mungu; na mfumo wa siku za mwisho unategemezwa juu ya mamlaka tatu ziletazo ukiwa zinazowatesa watu wa Mungu katika siku za mwisho.

The increase of knowledge represented in the last six verses of Daniel eleven, that represent the increase of knowledge that arrived in 1989, and that are represented by the Hiddekel River, was resisted by the enemies of truth. That resistance led to an understanding of the principle of the triple application of prophecy, which was first recognized as a triple application of Rome, which is the subject that establishes the vision of prophetic history.

Daniel eleven-eh vaset six-na matan mi ai ajil, mi aañ in increase of knowledge mi eaar ilo 1989, im emōj kile eṃṃan kein ilo Hiddekel River, ro rej kijin truth rej bōk wōt juon jorrāān ñan bōbrae. Jorrāān in ej bōk ñan juon melele kin principle eo an triple application of prophecy, eo emōj kajitōk kio jen juon triple application of Rome, eo wōt subject eo ej kajoor vision eo an prophetic history.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18.

Kule kusina mbono, abantu bayabhubha; kodwa ogcina umthetho, uyathokoza. IzAga 29:18.

The triple application of the three manifestations of Rome identifies that pagan and papal Rome’s religion is paganism, and that their religion is governed by a man titled Pontifex Maximus. Those two manifestations of Rome identify that three geographical powers are removed in advance of them ruling supremely for a specified period of time, and that they will rule from the seven-hilled city of Rome, which is their sanctuary of strength. They both witnessed to the fact that they persecuted God’s faithful people. Therefore, based upon these two witnesses we know that modern Rome’s religion will be paganism, and that she will be directed by the pope of Rome whose title is Pontifex Maximus.

Roma ee kuwathatu-ku-seta kwamba dini ya Roma ya kipagani na ya kipapa ni upagani, na kwamba dini yao hutawaliwa na mtu mwenye cheo cha Pontifex Maximus. Madhihirisho hayo mawili ya Roma yanaonyesha kwamba mamlaka tatu za kijiografia huondolewa kabla yao kutawala kwa ukuu wa juu kabisa kwa kipindi maalumu cha wakati, na kwamba watatawala kutoka mji wa Roma wenye vilima saba, ambao ni patakatifu pao pa nguvu. Zote mbili zilishuhudia ukweli kwamba ziliwatesa watu waaminifu wa Mungu. Kwa hiyo, kwa msingi wa mashahidi hawa wawili tunajua kwamba dini ya Roma ya kisasa itakuwa upagani, na kwamba ataongozwa na papa wa Roma ambaye cheo chake ni Pontifex Maximus.

Before the great whore takes control and rules supremely modern Rome will need to overcome three obstacles, and the first obstacle is past history with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1989, Rome’s atheistic enemy that resisted Rome’s power in Europe. The next obstacle is overthrown at the soon coming Sunday law in the United States, and then the United Nations will give its authority unto modern Rome for a short space. Once it is fully enthroned the persecution of the last days will take place.

The book of Daniel, and especially Revelation chapter eight, provide the prophetic characteristics of Rome, which contribute to the correct understanding of modern Rome. One of those characteristics was the division of the Roman Empire into East and West as accomplished by Constantine in the year 330. Pagan Rome and papal Rome, when considered together, also speak to the twofold nature of Rome. Constantine’s division that produced western and eastern Rome is a second witness to pagan and papal Rome. Constantine set up the civil authority in the east, and left the ecclesiastical authority in the west. Pagan Rome represented statecraft and papal Rome represented churchcraft. The east was statecraft, the west was churchcraft as typified by the iron and clay of Daniel two, or the masculine horn and feminine horn of Daniel eight, or the beasts of prey of Daniel seven, and the sanctuary beasts of Daniel eight.

Kitabu cha Danieli, na hasa Ufunuo sura ya nane, hutoa sifa za kinabii za Roma, ambazo huchangia katika uelewa sahihi wa Roma ya kisasa. Mojawapo ya sifa hizo ilikuwa mgawanyiko wa Dola ya Kirumi katika Mashariki na Magharibi kama ulivyotekelezwa na Konstantino katika mwaka 330. Roma ya kipagani na Roma ya kipapa, zinapozingatiwa pamoja, pia husema kuhusu asili ya pande mbili ya Roma. Mgawanyiko wa Konstantino uliozalisha Roma ya magharibi na ya mashariki ni shahidi wa pili kwa Roma ya kipagani na Roma ya kipapa. Konstantino alisimika mamlaka ya kiraia mashariki, na akaacha mamlaka ya kikanisa magharibi. Roma ya kipagani iliwakilisha uendeshaji wa dola na Roma ya kipapa iliwakilisha uendeshaji wa kanisa. Mashariki ilikuwa uendeshaji wa dola, Magharibi ilikuwa uendeshaji wa kanisa kama ilivyofananishwa na chuma na udongo wa Danieli 2, au pembe ya kiume na pembe ya kike ya Danieli 8, au wanyama wakali wa Danieli 7, na wanyama wa patakatifu wa Danieli 8.

Modern Rome will also be twofold in nature, consisting of a combination of church and state, of iron and clay, and of churchcraft and statecraft, but Modern Rome is also threefold in nature. In Revelation chapter eight both western and eastern Rome were literally and symbolically divided into three. Constantine ruling from eastern Rome literally divided his kingdom to his three sons, and western Rome was symbolically represented by the sun, moon and stars that represented the threefold form of government that was employed by the Roman Empire. Thus, Modern Rome, though being twofold of churchcraft and statecraft, would also represent a threefold union represented by the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

Roma ya kisasa nayo itakuwa ya namna mbili kwa tabia yake, ikiwa imeundwa kwa muungano wa kanisa na dola, wa chuma na udongo, na wa siasa za kidini na siasa za kiserikali; lakini Roma ya kisasa pia ni ya namna tatu kwa tabia yake. Katika Ufunuo sura ya nane, Roma ya magharibi na ya mashariki zote mbili zilikuwa zimegawanywa halisi na kwa ishara katika sehemu tatu. Konstantino, akitawala kutoka Roma ya mashariki, aliugawa ufalme wake halisi kwa wanawe watatu, na Roma ya magharibi iliwasilishwa kwa ishara na jua, mwezi, na nyota ambazo ziliwakilisha muundo wa utawala wa namna tatu uliotumiwa na Milki ya Kirumi. Hivyo basi, Roma ya kisasa, ijapokuwa ni ya namna mbili ya siasa za kidini na siasa za kiserikali, pia ingewakilisha muungano wa namna tatu unaowakilishwa na yule joka, mnyama, na nabii wa uongo.

The manifestations of pagan and papal Rome identify the complex prophetic makeup of the final Modern Rome. It is the threefold union that takes place at the soon coming Sunday law that leads the world to Armageddon. It is the worldwide “Image of the Beast” which is a symbol of the combination of Church and State. Its head is Pontifex Maximus, who rules from the City of Rome, which is the seat of his power. The man of sin’s civil authority will be provided by the United Nations, and the world will be forced to accept the threefold, yet dual system of the antichrist, by the coercive power of the United States. Thus, just as pagan Rome (the dragon) in Revelation thirteen, verse two, gave the papacy “his power, his seat and great authority”, the United States, as typified by pagan Rome, accomplishes the same three works for modern Rome. The seat is Vatican City in the seven-hilled city of Rome, the authority is the United Nations, and the power is the United States. Together they lead the world to a place where the papacy “shall come to his end, and none shall help him”.

Îzahûrên Romaya pagan û Romaya papal, pêkhateya pêşbînî ya tevlihev a Romaya Nûjen a dawî nas dikin. Ew yekbûna sêqutî ye ku di qanûna Yekşemê ya nêzîk de tê pêk anîn, û cîhanê ber bi Armagedonê ve dibat. Ew “Wêneya Heywanê” ya cîhanî ye ku nîşana têkelbûna Dêrê û Dewletê ye. Serê wê Pontifex Maximus e, yê ku ji Bajarê Romayê hukum dike, ku ew kursiya hêza wî ye. Desthilata medenî ya mirovê gunehê dê ji aliyê Neteweyên Yekbûyî ve were peyda kirin, û cîhan dê bi hêza zorê ya Dewletên Yekbûyî yên Amerîkayê were mecbûr kirin ku ew pergala sêqutî, lê di heman demê de duqutî ya dijber-Mesîh qebûl bike. Bi vî awayî, çawa ku Romaya pagan (ejderha) di Vahiyê de, beşa sêzdehan, aya duyemîn de, papatîyê “hêza xwe, kursiya xwe û desthilata mezin” da, Dewletên Yekbûyî yên Amerîkayê, wekî ku bi Romaya pagan hatine nîşandan, ji bo Romaya nûjen heman sê kiryaran pêk tînin. Kursî Bajarê Vatîkanê ye di bajara heft-girî ya Romayê de, desthilat Neteweyên Yekbûyî ne, û hêz Dewletên Yekbûyî yên Amerîkayê ne. Bi hev re ew cîhanê dibin cihê ku papatî “dê were dawiya xwe, û kesek alîkariya wî nake.”

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. Revelation 16:12–17.

ئەنجامی شەشەم کاسەی خۆی لەسەر ڕووباری مەزن، فەرات، ڕژاند؛ و ئاوەکەی وشک بوو، تاکو ڕێگای پاشاکانی ڕۆژهەڵات ئامادە بکرێت. و سێ ڕۆحی گڵاو وەک بۆقەم دید کە لە دەمی ئەژدیها، و لە دەمی ئاژەڵ، و لە دەمی پێغەمبەری درۆزن دەرچوون. چونکە ئەوان ڕۆحەکانی شەیتانن، پەرجووکارن، کە دەچن بۆ لای پاشاکانی زەوی و تەواوی جیهان، تاکو ئەوان کۆ بکەنەوە بۆ جەنگی ئەو ڕۆژە گەورەی خودای توانا هەمووشت. ئاگاداربن، من وەک دز دێم. خۆزگە بەوەی کە چاودێری دەکات و جلەکانی خۆی دەپارێزێت، نەک بە ڕووتی بڕوات و شەرمەزارییەکەی ببینن. و ئەوانی لە شوێنێک کۆ کردەوە کە بە زمانی عیبری پێی دەگوترێت هەرمەگدۆن. و ئەنجامی حەوتەم کاسەی خۆی لە هەوا ڕژاند؛ و دەنگێکی گەورە لە پەرستگای ئاسمان، لەسەر تەختەوە، هات و دەیگوت: تەواو بوو. ئاشکرابوون 16:12–17.
