The “key” representing the battle of Nineveh in Revelation nine was fulfilled with a history that produced a turning point, which is of course, is what a key does. My claim is that the battle of Nineveh was not only the historical key marking the rise of Islam, but that it is also a prophetic key. The prophetic dynamics of that battle brings all the lines of the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, as set forth in Daniel and Revelation into alignment with the eleventh chapter of Daniel. In doing this, it allows those kingdoms to all testify to the last six verses of Daniel eleven, and more importantly—to unseal the external hidden history of verse forty.

Ufunuo wa tisa, “ufunguo” unaowakilisha vita vya Nineve ulitimia kwa historia iliyozaa hatua ya mageuko; na bila shaka, ndivyo ufunguo hutenda. Dai langu ni kwamba vita vya Nineve havikuwa tu ufunguo wa kihistoria uliotia alama kuibuka kwa Uislamu, bali pia ni ufunguo wa kinabii. Mienendo ya kinabii ya vita hivyo huleta katika upatanisho mistari yote ya falme za unabii wa Biblia, kama ilivyowekwa katika Danieli na Ufunuo, pamoja na sura ya kumi na moja ya Danieli. Kwa kufanya hivyo, huziruhusu falme hizo zote kushuhudia aya sita za mwisho za Danieli kumi na moja, na la muhimu zaidi—kufunua historia ya nje iliyokuwa imefichwa ya aya ya arobaini.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19.

Na nitakupa funguo za ufalme wa mbinguni; na lo lote utakalolifunga duniani litakuwa limefungwa mbinguni; na lo lote utakalolifungua duniani litakuwa limefunguliwa mbinguni. Mathayo 16:19.

The Release and Rise of the Kingdom of Mohammed

UkuKhululwa nokuVuka koBukumkani bukaMohammed

The battle of Nineveh in 627 marked the beginning of the last ten years of the Persian power that had been defeated through the stratagem of Rome, accompanied with God’s providence fog. It marked the turning point where Mohammed’s Islamic hordes begin to rise. The battle removed a restraint that had existed, a restraint that in theory would have remained, had Rome and Persia both retained their strength. Neither did.

627년 니네베 전투는 로마의 책략과 하나님의 섭리의 안개가 함께하여 패배한 페르시아 세력의 마지막 십 년의 시작을 표시하였다. 그것은 또한 무함마드의 이슬람 무리가 일어나기 시작하는 전환점을 이루었다. 그 전투는 하나의 억제를 제거하였는데, 곧 로마와 페르시아가 둘 다 그들의 힘을 유지하였더라면 이론상 계속 남아 있었을 억제였다. 그러나 어느 쪽도 그렇게 하지 못하였다.

Restraint and Release

ꯇꯦꯡꯄꯥꯛ ꯑꯃꯁꯨꯡ ꯂꯧꯊꯣꯛꯄা

In the prophetic representation of Islam, we find the restraint and release of Islam from the very first introduction of Scripture as Sarah convinced Abraham to restrain Hagar and Ishmael.

Kwa uwakilishi wa kiunabii wa Uislamu, tunaona kuzuiwa na kuachiliwa kwa Uislamu tangu utangulizi wa kwanza kabisa wa Maandiko, kama vile Sara alivyomshawishi Ibrahimu kuwazuia Hajiri na Ishmaeli.

And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. Genesis 16:5, 6.

Saraí Abráman ojerure: Che jejavy nde ári toĩ; che rembiguái nde jyvápe amondo, ha ha'e ohechávo hyeguasuha, che ñemboyke ha chemboykeva'ekue iñakãme; Ñandejára toikuaa ha tohusga che ha nde apytépe. Ha Abrám he'i Saraípe: Ema'ẽ, nde rembiguái oĩ nde pópe; ejapo hese nde reipotaháicha. Ha Saraí hasýpe ojapo hese rire, ha'e okañy hova renondégui. Génesis 16:5, 6.

Even before that incident, the reason Hagar is introduced into the prophetic narrative is that the Lord has “restrained” Sarah from having a child.

Nanga nandi zhiang hëmi ka, Hagar ajii ku hërüba khei ketsü khrista hï ka kethü meqhe te, Pfütsoi Sarah shi meyü no pfo te shi “restrain” kesa ke.

Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. Genesis 16:1, 2.

Nĩ ũndũ Sarai, mũtumia wa Abram, ndaarĩ mũciariire ciana; na aarĩ na mũrirĩri wa kũmũteithia, Mĩsri, ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩarĩ Hagar. Nake Sarai akĩĩra Abram atĩrĩ, Ta rĩu, Jehova nĩandigiire ndĩgaciarĩre; ndagũthaitha, ingĩra mũrĩrĩri wakwa; noũngĩkorwo ngĩona ciana kũndũ kũrĩ we. Nake Abram agĩthikĩrĩria mũgambo wa Sarai. Mwanzo 16:1, 2.

The “key” of Revelation nine that was given to Mohammed, and was thereafter fulfilled by the battle of Nineveh, represents the removal of the “restraint” upon Islam at any given point in prophetic history.

Mu he “ufunguo” wo mu Ibyahishuwe icyenda wahewe Mohammed, kandi nyuma yaho ugasohorerwa mu rugamba rwa Nineveh, ushushanya ikurwaho ry’“inzugi” zari zifunze Islamu ku mwanya uwo ari wo wose wo mu mateka y’ubuhanuzi.

“Angels are holding the four winds, represented as an angry horse seeking to break loose and rush over the face of the whole earth, bearing destruction and death in its path.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 217.

“فرشتەکان چوار باڵەفڕەکان ڕادەگرن، کە وەک ئەسپێکی تووڕە نیشان دەدرێن کە هەوڵ دەدات دەست لێببڕێت و بە خێرایی بەسەر ڕووی هەموو زەوی‌دا بتازێت، لە ڕێگای خۆیدا وێرانکاری و مردن هەڵدەگرێت.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 217.

The “rise and fall” of the kingdom of Mohammed is represented, not so much as a rise and a fall, but as a ‘release’ and a ‘restraint’. When Islam is released prophetically, the release has been illustrated by the battle of Nineveh.

“တက်ခြင်းနှင့် ကျခြင်း” ဟုခေါ်သော မိုဟမ္မဒ်၏ နိုင်ငံတော်ကို၊ တက်ခြင်းနှင့် ကျခြင်းအဖြစ် မဟုတ်ဘဲ၊ “လွှတ်ပေးခြင်း” နှင့် “တားဆီးထိန်းချုပ်ခြင်း” အဖြစ် ပိုမိုဖော်ပြထားသည်။ အစ္စလာမ်ကို ပရောဖက်ပြုချက်အရ လွှတ်ပေးသောအခါ၊ ထိုလွှတ်ပေးခြင်းကို နိနေဝေစစ်ပွဲအားဖြင့် ပုံဖော်ပြသထားသည်။

Only the Woes

Tanrıların Yalnızca Felâketleri

Of the seven trumpets, only the woe trumpets of Islam span history as a consistent power from when they were first introduced into prophetic history unto the close of probation. The first four trumpets brought upon western Rome represented Odoacer, Genseric, Atilla the Hun and Alaric, thus typifying four providential judgment powers in the latter days, but their modern counterpart is not a direct descendant of those four ancient powers. Not so with the woe trumpets. Once Islam enters history it continues a direct line of release and restraint until it is fully released at the close of probation. With the woe trumpets the “key” of ‘release’ is marked by the battle of Nineveh.

Miongoni mwa tarumbeta saba, ni tarumbeta za ole za Uislamu pekee zinazoenea katika historia kama nguvu iliyo thabiti tangu zilipoingizwa kwa mara ya kwanza katika historia ya unabii hadi kufungwa kwa mlango wa rehema. Tarumbeta nne za kwanza zilizoleta juu ya Rumi ya magharibi ziliwakilisha Odoacer, Genseric, Atilla Mhuni, na Alaric, hivyo zikiwafananisha nguvu nne za hukumu ya uongozi wa Mungu katika siku za mwisho; lakini mwafaka wake wa kisasa si uzao wa moja kwa moja wa zile nguvu nne za kale. Si hivyo kwa tarumbeta za ole. Mara Uislamu unapoingia katika historia, huendelea katika mstari wa moja kwa moja wa kuachiliwa na kuzuiliwa mpaka uachiliwe kikamilifu wakati wa kufungwa kwa mlango wa rehema. Kwa tarumbeta za ole, “ufunguo” wa ‘kuachiliwa’ unawekwa alama na vita vya Nineveh.

Nicomedia and July 27, 1299

நிக்கோமீடியா மற்றும் 1299 ஜூலை 27

The pioneers correctly identified July 27, 1299 as the starting of one hundred and fifty years that ended on July 27, 1449, which in turn began the three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days that concluded on August 11, 1840.

Abasiguzi ba mbere bamenye neza ko ku wa 27 Nyakanga 1299 ari ho hatangiriye imyaka ijana na mirongo itanu yarangiye ku wa 27 Nyakanga 1449, na yo ikaba yaratangije imyaka magana atatu na mirongo cyenda n’umwe n’iminsi cumi n’itanu yasojwe ku wa 11 Kanama 1840.

In the previous article we identified the siege of 1333 unto 1337 that was brought upon Nicomedia by Sultan Orhan Gazi (son of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Beylik), when he laid siege to the important Byzantine city of Nicomedia. The siege is the conclusion of the warfare against Nicomedia that had begun with his father Osman. The one hundred and fifty years of Revelation nine, verse ten began on July 27, 1299, and as the beginning of a prophecy, the history associated with that beginning date is to be noted. Osman I (founder of the Ottoman dynasty) was Sultan Orhan Gazi’s father, who in July 27, 1299 achieved the significant early victory against the Byzantine Empire at the Battle of Bapheus which was in the region of Nicomedia, close to the city of Nicomedia; a very important capital city in Roman and early Byzantine history.

Ku makala yadhi ya ntete twamanyisye kuzingirwa kwa mwaka 1333 hata 1337 kulikowaleteledwa Nikomedia ni Sultani Orhan Gazi (mwana wa Osman I, mwanzilishi wa Beyliki ya Waothmani), alipouzingira mji wa maana wa Kibizanti wa Nikomedia. Kuzingirwa huku ndiko hitimisho la vita dhidi ya Nikomedia vilivyoanza kwa baba yake, Osman. Ile miaka mia moja na hamsini ya Ufunuo 9:10 ilianza tarehe 27 Julai 1299, na kwa kuwa ni mwanzo wa unabii, historia inayohusiana na tarehe hiyo ya mwanzo yapasa kuangaliwa. Osman I (mwanzilishi wa nasaba ya Waothmani) alikuwa baba wa Sultani Orhan Gazi, ambaye tarehe 27 Julai 1299 alipata ushindi wa mapema wenye umuhimu dhidi ya Dola ya Kibizanti katika Vita vya Bapheus, vilivyokuwa katika eneo la Nikomedia, karibu na mji wa Nikomedia, mji mkuu wa maana sana katika historia ya Kirumi na ya mwanzo wa Kibizanti.

Father and Son

Ata na Mwana

July 27, 1299 Osman’s forces defeated a Byzantine army led by a local governor. The battle is considered one of the first major independent military successes of Osman after he had begun consolidating power in Bithynia (northwestern Anatolia). It marked an important step in the transition from a small Turkish beylik (tribal principality) to a rising power that would eventually challenge and conquer the Byzantine territories. That date marks the beginning of a period of growth for Islam that ultimately led to the establishment of the Ottoman Empire at the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Osman employed ghazi warriors (frontier raiders with Islamic motivation), and there began the formation of the ghazi frontier warriors into a more structured army that developed progressively from Osman and then on to his son, Orhan. Among other important elements of Osman’s legacy is that it allowed Islam to hold onto property, as opposed to the warfare of the ghazi warriors, whose disorganized hit and run tactics left them only the spoils of their victories, but never any territory.

On July 27, 1299, Osman began a campaign in the area of Nicomedia, and thirty-four years later his son began a four-year siege upon the capital city Nicomedia. The father at the beginning and the son at the ending. War begins against the area represented as Nicomedia and ends with the capturing of Nicomedia, the capital city of the area, Nicomedia. From 1299 unto 1337 is a thirty-eight-year period, and prophetically the number “thirty-eight” symbolizes a rising up.

Di 27ê Tîrmeha 1299-an de, Osman li herêma Nicomedia dest bi kampanyayekê kir, û sî û çar sal şûnda kurê wî dorpêçekê çar-salî li ser paytexta bajarê Nicomedia dest pê kir. Bav di destpêkê de û kur di dawiyê de. Şer li dijî herêma ku wek Nicomedia tê nîşandan dest pê dike û bi girtina Nicomedia, paytexta bajarê herêma Nicomedia, bi dawî dibe. Ji 1299-an heta 1337-an demek sî û heşt salî ye, û bi awayê pêxemberî hejmarê “sî û heşt” rabûnekê sembolîze dike.

Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them. Deuteronomy 2:13, 14.

“Nĩ nũngũkĩrĩra,” ngĩkiuga, “na mũambuke rũũĩ rwa Zered.” Nake twambukire rũũĩ rwa Zered. Na ihinda rĩrĩa twarutire Kadesh-barnea nginya rĩrĩa twambukire rũũĩ rwa Zered ryarĩ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mĩnana; nginya rũciaro rwothe rwa andũ a mbaara rwathirire rũgĩtwarwo hagati ya mbũtũ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aarĩkĩtie. Gũcookia-rũrĩrĩ 2:13, 14.

The one hundred and fifty years from July 27, 1299 unto July 27, 1449 represents the period which led to the establishment of the Ottoman Empire of the second woe of Revelation chapter nine. The thirty-eight years of the progressive conquering of Nicomedia began with a father (Osman) and ended with his son (Orphan). The period portrays the first step of a progressive rise of a tribal principality unto an empire.

Nga myanda umodzi na makumi asanu kufuma pa Julayi 27, 1299, ukufika pa Julayi 27, 1449, vilongora nyengo iyo yikatsogozgera ku kukhazikiskika kwa Ufumu wa Ottoman wa soka lachiŵiri la mu Chivumbuzi chaputala 9. Myaka makumi ghatatu na yitatu na yisanu na yitatu ya kuthereska kwa Nicomedia mwakupitirira ghakayamba na awiske (Osman) ndipo ghakamalira na mwana wake (Orphan). Nyengo iyi yikulongora sitepe yakwamba ya kuwuka mwakupitirira kwa ufumu wa fuko kufika pa ufumu ukuru.

The one hundred and fifty years from July 27, 1299 unto July 27, 1449, includes a four-year siege that marks the end of the thirty-eight years. The beginning of the conquering of Nicomedia was by the father Osman and the end was accomplished by a four-year siege from 1333 unto 1337; a siege carried out by Osman’s son.

1299, ji̱yo̱li̱ 27 ne 1449, ji̱yo̱li̱ 27 titi yaa tsọ gbo 150 no, kɛ 38 no pɛi̱ ni, a li̱ ni gbi̱i̱kɛɛ waŋ 4 ne o yi̱ ni kɔtɔ ni pɛlɛ. Nikomedia kɛ kpa̱a̱ ni pɛlɛ wo la Osman, kɔ̱n o ba; mɛ kɛ kpa̱a̱ ni kɔtɔ lo waŋ 4 ne 1333 ne 1337 so, ni Osman pɛlɛ, o bie, wa kɛ.

When the one hundred and fifty years ended on July 27, 1449, the Byzantine’s emperor Constantine the eleventh, or the last Constantine of eastern Rome sought permission from the Turks to take the throne. From that date until the conquering of Constantinople was four years. Those four years ended with the siege of Constantinople, and Constantine the last died in the siege. The rise of Islam is represented by the first thirty-eight years of the one-hundred-and-fifty-year prophecy, that culminated in a four-year siege. When the one hundred and fifty years ended, Islam had risen to a point where eastern Rome was humiliated by the power that the Turks then possessed. From the humiliation of July 27, 1449 four years led to the fall of eastern Rome as Constantinople was taken by a siege. The end of the first thirty-eight years is marked by a siege, and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire is marked by a siege.

7月27日、1449年に百五十年が満ちたとき、ビザンツ帝国の皇帝コンスタンティノス十一世、すなわち東ローマの最後のコンスタンティノスは、王位に就くためにトルコ人の許可を求めた。その日からコンスタンティノープルの征服まで四年があった。その四年はコンスタンティノープル包囲によって終わり、最後のコンスタンティノスはその包囲の中で死んだ。 イスラムの興隆は、百五十年の預言の最初の三十八年によって表されており、それは四年にわたる包囲において頂点に達した。百五十年が終わったとき、イスラムは、トルコ人がその時に有していた力によって東ローマが辱められる地点にまで興っていた。1449年7月27日のその屈辱から四年が東ローマの陥落へと導き、コンスタンティノープルは包囲によって奪取された。最初の三十八年の終わりは包囲によって画され、オスマン帝国の確立もまた包囲によって画されている。

38 and 40

٣٨ و٤٠

The number thirty-eight as a symbol as set forth by Moses in Deuteronomy representing the last thirty-eight years of the judgment of forty years wandering in the wilderness. Therefore, the number thirty-eight, as a symbol possesses a connection to the number forty. Osman took the territory of Nicomedia on July 27, 1299 and thirty-eight years later his son took the capital city of the territory. The territory and the capital city both were Nicomedia. Historians identify this battle as the first of ‘two’ steps that identify the very beginning of the rising up of the Ottoman Empire. The second step identified by history is the battle of Nicaea in 1301. There the father Osman took the territory called Nicaea, and 1331, thirty years later his son took the capital city, named Nicaea, a former Roman capital city.

In relation to 1299 and the battle of Nicomedia, as the first of two steps, the second step came two years later in 1301. 1299 is a symbol of thirty-eight, and two years later (forty), the territory of Nicaea is taken by the father. The thirty-eight and forty relationships of ancient Israel rising up to take the promised land is represented in July 27, 1299 and 1301. Those first two steps of Islam rising are marked by military campaigns that begin with the father conquering the territory and the son conquering the capital of the territory at the end. When the two capitals fell, they fell at a siege. Both capitals were at some point capitals of eastern Rome.

1299와 니코메디아 전투와의 관련에서, 두 단계 가운데 첫째 단계에 이어 둘째 단계는 2년 후인 1301년에 이르렀다. 1299는 38의 상징이며, 2년 후(곧 40)에 니케아의 영토가 아버지에 의해 점령된다. 약속의 땅을 취하기 위해 일어선 고대 이스라엘의 38과 40의 관계가 1299년 7월 27일과 1301년에 표상되어 있다. 이슬람의 부상이 이루는 그 처음 두 단계는 군사 원정들로 표지되는데, 그 시작에는 아버지가 그 영토를 정복하고, 그 끝에는 아들이 그 영토의 수도를 정복한다. 그 두 수도가 함락되었을 때, 그것들은 포위 공격 가운데 함락되었다. 두 수도는 모두 한때 동로마의 수도였던 적이 있었다.

July 27, 1299 and 1301 reach their conclusion on August 11, 1840, that represents the history of 1838, when Litch first published his view and prediction of the three hundred and ninety-one year and fifteen-day prophecy that would ultimately be fulfilled on August 11, 1840. The two steps of rising up for the Millerites was the years 1838 and 1840.

٢٧ی تەممووزی ١٢٩٩ و ١٣٠١ لە ١١ی ئاب ١٨٤٠دا کۆتایی دێن، و ئەمە مێژووی ساڵی ١٨٣٨ نوێنەرایەتی دەکات، کاتێک لیچ بۆ یەکەم جار بۆچوون و پێشبینیی خۆی لەبارەی پێغەمبەری سێ سەد و نەوەد و یەک ساڵ و پازدە ڕۆژ بڵاوکردەوە، کە لە کۆتاییدا لە ١١ی ئاب ١٨٤٠دا تەواو دەبوو. هەردوو هەنگاوەکانی هەستانەوە بۆ میلەرییەکان ساڵانی ١٨٣٨ و ١٨٤٠ بوون.

“In the year 1840 another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. Two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the Second Advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to be overthrown ‘in A.D. 1840, sometime in the month of August;’ and only a few days previous to its accomplishment he wrote: ‘Allowing the first period, 150 years, to have been exactly fulfilled before Deacozes ascended the throne by permission of the Turks, and that the 391 years, fifteen days, commenced at the close of the first period, it will end on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And this, I believe, will be found to be the case.’—Josiah Litch, in Signs of the Times, and Expositor of Prophecy, August 1, 1840.

“Mu mwaka wa 1840 ukusanirika kuli kwa ajabu kwa unabii kulichochea upendezi mkubwa sana. Miaka miwili kabla ya hapo, Josiah Litch, mmoja wa wahudumu mashuhuri waliokuwa wakihubiri Ujio wa Pili, alichapisha ufafanuzi wa Ufunuo 9, akitabiri kuanguka kwa Dola ya Ottoman. Kulingana na hesabu zake, mamlaka haya yalipaswa kupinduliwa ‘katika A.D. 1840, wakati fulani katika mwezi wa Agosti;’ na siku chache tu kabla ya kutimizwa kwake aliandika: ‘Tukikubali kipindi cha kwanza, miaka 150, kuwa kilitimizwa kikamilifu kabla Deacozes hajapanda juu ya kiti cha enzi kwa ruhusa ya Waturuki, na kwamba ile miaka 391 na siku kumi na tano ilianza mwishoni mwa kipindi cha kwanza, kitafikia mwisho wake tarehe 11 ya Agosti, 1840, wakati ambapo mamlaka ya Ottoman katika Constantinople yaweza kutarajiwa kuvunjwa. Na hili, naamini, litapatikana kuwa ndivyo ilivyo.’—Josiah Litch, katika Signs of the Times, and Expositor of Prophecy, August 1, 1840.”

“At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

“Ku nk’igihe nyir’izina cyari cyaravuzwe, Turukiya, biciye ku ntumwa zayo, yemeye uburinzi bw’ibihugu by’i Burayi byari byishyize hamwe, bityo yishyira munsi y’ubutegetsi bw’amahanga ya Gikristo. Icyo gikorwa cyasohoje neza rwose ubuhanuzi. Igihe ibyo byamenyekanaga, imbaga nyinshi zemeye ko amahame yo gusobanura ubuhanuzi yakoreshejwe na Miller na bagenzi be yari ay’ukuri, maze umurimo wo kwamamaza ukuza kwa Kristo uhabwa imbaraga zitangaje. Abantu b’abize kandi bafite icyubahiro bifatanyije na Miller, haba mu kwamamaza no mu gutangaza ibitekerezo bye, kandi kuva mu 1840 kugeza mu 1844 umurimo wagutse vuba cyane.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

Litch’s '38 prediction and his corrected vision of '40 include his final statement, which he penned on August 1, ten days before the corrected prediction. It was the fulfillment of the prediction that convinced the world of the correct methodology of biblical prophecy. The thirty-eight years that marked the rising up of ancient Israel included the two years from the Red Sea crossing unto the first rebellion at Kadesh.

پێشبینیی «38»ی لێچ و بینینی ڕاستکراوەی «40»ی، وتەی دواوەی ئەویش لەخۆدەگرن، کە لە 1ی ئاب نووسیویەتی، دە ڕۆژ پێش پێشبینیی ڕاستکراوەکە. ئەوە تەواوبوونی پێشبینییەکە بوو کە جیهانی دڵنیا کرد لە ڕێبازە دروستەکەی پێشبینیی کتێبی پیرۆز. ئەو سی و هەشت ساڵەی هەستانەوەی ئیسرائیلی کۆنەیان نیشانەکرد، ئەو دوو ساڵەشیان تێدایە کە لە پەڕینەوەی دەریای سوورەوە هەتا یەکەم یاخیبوون لە قادیش.

Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it. Numbers 14:22, 23.

Nĩ ũndũ andũ acio othe nĩmoonire ũgooci wakwa, hamwe na ciama ciakwa cia mahikio, ciĩa ndaarutire bũrũri wa Misri na thĩinĩ wa werũ; na nĩmandĩgeretie rĩrĩa rĩĩ mĩgwanja iyi, na matĩiguĩte rirĩa rĩakwa; ti maakuona bũrũri ũrĩa ndarahĩire atĩ ngũũnenga maithe mao, wala gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ũrĩa wandokeretie ũngauona. Mbaria 14:22, 23.

That rebellion is identified as the final of ten tests. A two-year testing period of ten tests added to thirty-eight years in the wilderness typified 1838 and 1840, and 1840 contained a period of ten days.

Uasi huo unatambuliwa kuwa ni jaribio la mwisho kati ya majaribio kumi. Kipindi cha miaka miwili cha kujaribiwa chenye majaribio kumi, kilichoongezwa kwa miaka thelathini na minane jangwani, kilikuwa kielelezo cha 1838 na 1840, na mwaka wa 1840 ulikuwa na kipindi cha siku kumi.

And the starting point of the rise of Islam with Osman on July 27, 1299 begins a thirty-eight-year period that ends with a four-year siege in 1337. July 27, 1299 was the first of two steps historians identify as the starting point of the rise of the Ottoman Empire, and the second step was 1301. The two steps of the battles of Nicomedia and Nicaea in 1299 and 1301 typify 1838 and 1840. The beginning of the prophecy illustrates the end.

Kandi mwanzo wa kuinuka kwa Uislamu pamoja na Osman tarehe 27 Julai 1299 huanza kipindi cha miaka thelathini na minane kinachoishia kwa mazingirwa ya miaka minne katika 1337. Tarehe 27 Julai 1299 ilikuwa hatua ya kwanza kati ya hatua mbili ambazo wanahistoria huzitambua kuwa ndiyo mwanzo wa kuinuka kwa Dola ya Ottoman, na hatua ya pili ilikuwa 1301. Hatua hizo mbili za vita vya Nicomedia na Nicaea katika 1299 na 1301 ni mifano ya kinabii ya 1838 na 1840. Mwanzo wa unabii huonyesha mwisho wake.

Nicomedia and Nicaea both temporarily served as capitals of eastern Rome in their respective histories. Of course, Constantinople ultimately became the eastern capitol in 330 until 1453. Nicomedia and Nicaea typify the fall of Constantinople; all fell from Islamic sieges that marked the conclusion of a campaign where Islam first took control of the territory and thereafter took the capital city.

Nicomedia û Nicaea, di dîrokên xwe yên cihê de, herdu jî demekê wek paytextên Romaya Rojhilat xizmet kirin. Bêguman, Constantinople di sala 330-an de bû paytexta rojhilatî, û heya 1453-an wisa ma. Nicomedia û Nicaea wek nimûneya ketina Constantinople dixebitin; hemû jî bi dorpêçkirinên Îslamî ketin, yên ku dawiya kampanyayekê nîşan didan ku tê de Îslam pêşî desthilatdarî li ser herêmê stand û paşê jî bajarê paytextê stand.

The first siege four-years from 1333 unto 1337 represents the four-years from 1449 to 1453 when the prophecy ended. Three hundred and ninety-one years fifteen days later Islam is restrained as the Millerites ‘rise’ under the prophetic power represented in the characteristics ‘thirty-eight and forty’ as represented in the alpha history of the history of July 27, 1299 and July 27, 1449. The rising up of Islam and the rising up of God’s latter-day messengers is represented in a numerical symbol which is constructed by the numerical relationship of 38 and 40.

Ulwitikilo lwa ntendekelo, ulwa myaka inayi ukufuma mu 1333 ukufika mu 1337, lwalangisha imyaka inayi ukufuma mu 1449 ukufika mu 1453, apo ubusesemo bwa bupolofita bwapwile. Panuma pa myaka imyanda itatu na makumi pabula umo ne myaka ikumi na isano, Islam yalekanikwa, ilyo abaMillerite “bema,” pesamba lya maka ya bupolofita ayalangiwa mu mibelele “makumi yatatu na cine konse na makumi yane,” nga filya fyalangiwa mu mateka ya alpha aya mateka ya July 27, 1299 na July 27, 1449. Ukubuka kwa Islam no kubuka kwa batumwa ba Lesa ba mu nshiku shakulekelesha fyalangiwa mu cimanyikwilo ca manambala icapangilwe ku cikwatwa ca manambala 38 na 40.

In Ezekiel thirty-seven Islam is the message of the east wind that is breathed upon the dead dry bones that they might stand up as a mighty army. When Ezekiel’s message arrives the rising up begins, as it did in the Millerite history of 1838 and 1840. That message arrived on 9/11 and at the soon-coming Sunday law those bones stand up as a mighty army. The raising up of God’s army as the church triumphant in the latter days is typified by 1838 and 1840. 9/11 unto the Sunday law was typified by 1840 to 1844, but it also typifies the period from December 31, 2023 unto the fireballs of Nashville.

Ezekieli thelathini na saba, Uislamu ni ujumbe wa upepo wa mashariki unaovutwa juu ya mifupa mikavu ya wafu, ili isimame kama jeshi kuu. Ujumbe wa Ezekieli ufikapo, kuinuka huanza, kama ilivyokuwa katika historia ya Wamilleri ya 1838 na 1840. Ujumbe huo ulifika tarehe 9/11, na katika sheria ya Jumapili iliyo karibu kuja, mifupa hiyo husimama kama jeshi kuu. Kuinuliwa kwa jeshi la Mungu kama kanisa mshindi katika siku za mwisho kumefananishwa kwa 1838 na 1840. 9/11 hadi sheria ya Jumapili kulifananishwa kwa 1840 hadi 1844, lakini pia kunafananisha kipindi cha kuanzia Desemba 31, 2023 hadi mipira ya moto ya Nashville.

Eastern Rome

Roho ya Mashariki

From the division of the empire by Constantine the first (the Great), unto the last Constantine represents the prophetic history of eastern Rome. The prophetic period is therefore marked by a prophetic or symbolic father and a son, as represented by their name, though there was no direct blood descent between Constantine the Great and Constantine the eleventh. The first and last Constantine are also represented prophetically as alpha and omega symbols, and the father (alpha) chose Constantinople as the capital, and the son (omega) died in the siege when Constantinople ceased to be the capital. The prophetic period of eastern Rome is marked by the first and last Constantine. The period of 150 years that began on July 27, 1299 includes a 38 year period and ends with a 4 year siege. That siege typified 1449 to 1453. The campaign of Nicomedia began with a territory being conquered and ended with the capital of the territory being conquered. As with the first and last Constantine, the conquering of Nicomedia began with a father (the first) and ended with a son (the last).

Kutoka katika mgawanyo wa dola uliofanywa na Konstantino wa kwanza (Mkuu), hadi Konstantino wa mwisho, kunaonyeshwa historia ya kinabii ya Roma ya mashariki. Kwa hiyo, kipindi cha kinabii kinatiwa alama na baba wa kinabii au wa mfano na mwana, kama inavyowakilishwa na jina lao, ingawa hapakuwa na ukoo wa moja kwa moja wa damu kati ya Konstantino Mkuu na Konstantino wa kumi na moja. Konstantino wa kwanza na wa mwisho pia wanawakilishwa kinabii kama alama za alfa na omega; na baba (alfa) alichagua Konstantinopoli kuwa mji mkuu, na mwana (omega) alikufa katika mazingiro wakati Konstantinopoli ilipoacha kuwa mji mkuu. Kipindi cha kinabii cha Roma ya mashariki kinatiwa alama na Konstantino wa kwanza na wa mwisho. Kipindi cha miaka 150 kilichoanza Julai 27, 1299 kinajumuisha kipindi cha miaka 38 na kinaishia kwa mazingiro ya miaka 4. Mazingiro hayo yalikuwa mfano wa 1449 hadi 1453. Kampeni ya Nikomedia ilianza kwa kutwaliwa kwa eneo na ikaishia kwa kutwaliwa kwa mji mkuu wa eneo hilo. Kama ilivyokuwa kwa Konstantino wa kwanza na wa mwisho, kutwaliwa kwa Nikomedia kulianza na baba (wa kwanza) na kukaishia kwa mwana (wa mwisho).

Four years

Saŋunneŋ afọ anayi

A four-year siege in the opening period of the one hundred and fifty years that led to the four years from the humiliation of Constantine the last in 1449 unto 1453 when Constantinople was besieged and fell. The time prophecy of the second woe representing three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days began on July 27, 1449 and it ended on August 11, 1840. That date marks the beginning of a four-year period which Sister White called a glorious manifestation of the power of God.

Kuzingirwa kwa miaka minne katika kipindi cha mwanzo cha ile miaka mia moja na hamsini kulikosababisha miaka minne tangu kufedheheshwa kwa Constantine wa mwisho mwaka 1449 hadi 1453, wakati Konstantinopoli ilizingirwa na kuanguka. Unabii wa wakati wa ole ya pili, ukiwakilisha miaka mia tatu tisini na mmoja na siku kumi na tano, ulianza tarehe 27 Julai 1449 na ukaisha tarehe 11 Agosti 1840. Tarehe hiyo huashiria mwanzo wa kipindi cha miaka minne ambacho Sister White alikiita udhihirisho mtukufu wa nguvu za Mungu.

The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel’s message is to lighten the whole earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.” The Great Controversy, 611.

“मलाइकाह जो तेसरो मलाइकाहको सन्देशको घोषणामा एक हुन्छ, उसले आफ्नै महिमाद्वारा सारा पृथ्वीलाई उज्यालो पार्नेछ। यहाँ विश्वव्यापी विस्तार र असामान्य शक्तियुक्त एक कार्यको भविष्यवाणी गरिएको छ। सन् 1840–44 को आगमन आन्दोलन परमेश्वरको शक्तिको एक महिमामय प्रकटता थियो; पहिलो मलाइकाहको सन्देश संसारका प्रत्येक मिसनरी केन्द्रसम्म पु-याइयो, र केही देशहरूमा सोह्रौँ शताब्दीको धर्मसुधारपछिदेखि कुनै पनि देशमा देखिएकोभन्दा महान धार्मिक चासो प्रकट भएको थियो; तर यी सबै तेस्रो मलाइकाहको अन्तिम चेतावनीअन्तर्गत हुने त्यस शक्तिशाली आन्दोलनद्वारा उछिनिनेछन्।” The Great Controversy, 611.

Islam was restrained on August 11, 1840 and there was a four-year period which aligns with both the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and the descent of the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen, when the “great buildings” of New York were struck by Islam of the third woe on 9/11. 9/11 marks the beginning of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The sealing is a period of time, and the ending of the period of the sealing possesses the characteristics of the beginning of the period. When Christ descended at 9/11, he typified Michael descending to resurrect the two witnesses on December 31, 2023, when the final period of the sealing began.

Islam yakazuiliwa tarehe 11 Agosti, 1840, na kulikuwa na kipindi cha miaka minne ambacho kinafanana na kumwagwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu katika Pentekoste, na pia kushuka kwa malaika mwenye nguvu wa Ufunuo kumi na nane, wakati “majengo makubwa” ya New York yalipopigwa na Uislamu wa ole wa tatu mnamo 9/11. Tarehe 9/11 huashiria mwanzo wa wakati wa kutiwa muhuri kwa wale laki moja arobaini na nne elfu. Kutiwa muhuri ni kipindi cha wakati, na mwisho wa kipindi cha kutiwa muhuri una sifa zinazolingana na mwanzo wa kipindi hicho. Kristo aliposhuka katika 9/11, alimfananisha Mikaeli akishuka kuwafufua mashahidi wawili mnamo 31 Desemba, 2023, wakati kipindi cha mwisho cha kutiwa muhuri kilipoanza.

The key which is the battle of Nineveh represents the various releases of Islam, that would bring down eastern Rome by 1453. Within the one hundred and fifty years of verse ten’s “five months,” the beginning and also the ending contain a four-year period. Those two four-year periods connect with the conclusion of the three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days, that marked a four-year period from 1840 to 1844 when Christ would lighten “the whole earth with his glory.” In 1844, prophetic time ceased to be applied, for time would be “time no longer.”

Ipfunguo ambacho ni vita vya Ninawi kinawakilisha kuachiliwa mbalimbali kwa Uislamu, ambako kungeliiangusha Roma ya mashariki kufikia mwaka 1453. Ndani ya ile miaka mia moja na hamsini ya “miezi mitano” ya aya ya kumi, mwanzo na pia mwisho vina kipindi cha miaka minne. Vipindi hivyo viwili vya miaka minne vinaungana na hitimisho la ile miaka mia tatu na tisini na mmoja na siku kumi na tano, iliyotia alama kipindi cha miaka minne kutoka 1840 hadi 1844 wakati Kristo angeuangazia “ulimwengu wote kwa utukufu wake.” Katika mwaka 1844, wakati wa kiunabii ulikoma kutumiwa, kwa maana wakati ungekuwa “haupo tena.”

And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer. Revelation 10:6.

Na akaapa kwa yeye aishiye milele na milele, aliyeziumba mbingu, na vitu vilivyomo ndani yake, na nchi, na vitu vilivyomo ndani yake, na bahari, na vitu vilivyomo ndani yake, ya kwamba wakati hautakuwapo tena. Ufunuo 10:6.

1333 to 1337, 1449 to 1453, 1840 to 1844

1333 hadi 1337, 1449 hadi 1453, 1840 hadi 1844

Those three lines of four-year periods align with the sealing time from 9/11 unto the Sunday law, and they also align with the fractal of 9/11 unto the Sunday law that is represented from December 31, 2023 until Islam is again released to deliver the fireballs of Nashville.

Ku misri atọ ahụ nke oge afọ anọ ọ bụla kwekọrọ na oge nke ịkà akara site na 9/11 ruo n’iwu ụbọchị Sọnde, ha kwekọkwara kwa na fractal nke 9/11 ruo n’iwu ụbọchị Sọnde nke a na-anọchi anya ya site na Disemba 31, 2023 ruo mgbe a ga-ahapụkwa Islam ọzọ ka ọ nyefee bọọlụ ọkụ nke Nashville.

The prophetic fractal of December 31, 2023 to the fireballs of Nashville have been typified by three four-year prophetic periods that all align with the sealing time from 9/11 to the Sunday law. Thus, four witnesses identify the history of December 31, 2023 until the Nashville attack, and it was the battle of Nineveh that is the “key” for each of these witnesses. 1333, 1449, 1840 and 9/11 were all turning points— “keys.”

Bulikane ya kinabii ya kuanzia Desemba 31, 2023 hadi kwa mipira ya moto ya Nashville imefanyizwa kwa mfano na vipindi vitatu vya kinabii vya miaka minne ambavyo vyote vinapatana na wakati wa kutiwa muhuri kutoka 9/11 hadi sheria ya Jumapili. Hivyo, mashahidi wanne wanaitambulisha historia ya Desemba 31, 2023 hadi shambulio la Nashville, nayo ilikuwa vita ya Ninawi iliyo “ufunguo” kwa kila mmoja wa mashahidi hawa. 1333, 1449, 1840 na 9/11 yote yalikuwa nyakati za mgeuko—“funguo.”

There are lessons to be learned from the history of the past; and attention is called to these, that all may understand that God works on the same lines now that He ever has done. His hand is seen in His work and among the nations now, just the same as it has been ever since the gospel was first proclaimed to Adam in Eden.

“Mu mateka yo mu bihe byahise harimo amasomo akwiriye kwigirwa; kandi abantu bahamagarirwa kuyitaho, kugira ngo bose basobanukirwe yuko Imana ikora muri iki gihe ku murongo umwe nk’uwo yahoranye. Ukuboko kwayo kuboneka mu murimo wayo no mu mahanga none, nk’uko byakomeje guhera igihe ubutumwa bwiza bwabanje kwamamazwa kuri Adamu muri Edeni.

“There are periods which are turning points in the history of nations and of the church. In the providence of God, when these different crises arrive, the light for that time is given. If it is received, there is spiritual progress; if it is rejected, spiritual declension and shipwreck follow. The Lord in His word has opened up the aggressive work of the gospel as it has been carried on in the past, and will be in the future, even to the closing conflict, when Satanic agencies will make their last wonderful movement.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.

“Kuna nyakati ambazo ni vipindi vya mageuzi katika historia ya mataifa na ya kanisa. Katika majaliwa ya Mungu, wakati migogoro hii mbalimbali inapowadia, nuru ya wakati huo hutolewa. Ikiwa inapokelewa, kunakuwapo maendeleo ya kiroho; ikiwa inakataliwa, kushuka kwa hali ya kiroho na kuvunjikiwa na imani hufuata. Bwana katika neno Lake amefunua kazi ya kushambulia ya injili jinsi ilivyoendelezwa hapo zamani, na jinsi itakavyokuwa wakati ujao, hata kufikia pambano la mwisho, ambapo mawakala wa kishetani watafanya mwendo wao wa mwisho wa ajabu.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.

Nicomedia

నికోమీడియా

After becoming emperor in 284, in 293, Diocletian chose Nicomedia as the eastern capital of the Roman Empire when he legally divided the empire into East and West, establishing the Tetrarchy system. Nicomedia served as the main administrative and military capital in the East for several decades. Constantine the Great used it as a base before deciding to build the new capital at nearby Byzantium (which he renamed Constantinople in 330). Even after Constantinople became the main capital, Nicomedia remained a major regional center, strategically located on the eastern shore of the Sea of Marmara. So, while it was not the permanent capital like Rome or Constantinople, Nicomedia was officially designated as the eastern capital during a key transitional period in Roman history. At the beginning of the one hundred and fifty years a capital of eastern Rome is conquered, and at the ending a capital of eastern Rome is conquered. Both conquering’s included a siege.

284 ਵਿੱਚ ਸਮਰਾਟ ਬਣਨ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ, 293 ਵਿੱਚ ਦਿਓਕਲੇਸ਼ੀਅਨ ਨੇ, ਜਦੋਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਾਮਰਾਜ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਬ ਅਤੇ ਪੱਛਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੰਡ ਕੇ ਟੈਟ੍ਰਾਰਕੀ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਲੀ ਸਥਾਪਿਤ ਕੀਤੀ, ਨਿਕੋਮੀਡੀਆ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਮੀ ਸਾਮਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਵਜੋਂ ਚੁਣਿਆ। ਨਿਕੋਮੀਡੀਆ ਕਈ ਦਹਾਕਿਆਂ ਤੱਕ ਪੂਰਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੁੱਖ ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ਾਸਕੀ ਅਤੇ ਸੈਨਿਕ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਵਜੋਂ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਦਾ ਰਿਹਾ। ਮਹਾਨ ਕੌਂਸਟੈਂਟਾਈਨ ਨੇ ਨੇੜਲੇ ਬਿਜ਼ੈਂਟਿਅਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਵੀਂ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਦਾ ਨਿਰਣੈ ਕਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਧਾਰ-ਕੇਂਦਰ ਵਜੋਂ ਵਰਤਿਆ (ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਉਸ ਨੇ 330 ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾਮ ਬਦਲ ਕੇ ਕੌਂਸਟੈਂਟੀਨੋਪਲ ਰੱਖਿਆ)। ਕੌਂਸਟੈਂਟੀਨੋਪਲ ਦੇ ਮੁੱਖ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਬਣ ਜਾਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਵੀ, ਨਿਕੋਮੀਡੀਆ ਇੱਕ ਪ੍ਰਮੁੱਖ ਖੇਤਰੀ ਕੇਂਦਰ ਬਣਿਆ ਰਿਹਾ, ਜੋ ਮਰਮਰਾ ਦੇ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਦੇ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਕਿਨਾਰੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਰਣਨੀਤਿਕ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਸਥਿਤ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਲਈ, ਹਾਲਾਂਕਿ ਇਹ ਰੋਮ ਜਾਂ ਕੌਂਸਟੈਂਟੀਨੋਪਲ ਵਾਂਗ ਸਥਾਈ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ, ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਰੋਮੀ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਦੇ ਇੱਕ ਨਿਰਣਾਇਕ ਸੰਕ੍ਰਾਂਤੀਕਾਲ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਨਿਕੋਮੀਡੀਆ ਨੂੰ ਅਧਿਕਾਰਕ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਨਿਰਧਾਰਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਇਕ ਸੌ ਪੰਜਾਹ ਸਾਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਆਰੰਭ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਰੋਮ ਦੀ ਇੱਕ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਜਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਅੰਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੀ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਰੋਮ ਦੀ ਇੱਕ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਜਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਦੋਹਾਂ ਜਿੱਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਘੇਰਾਬੰਦੀ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਸੀ।

Diocletian

Diocletian

The emperor Diocletian officially made Nicomedia the eastern capital of the Roman empire when he implemented the Tetrarchy system in 293. The Tetrarchy system was made up of a western and eastern division of the empire; both east and west having a senior emperor (Augusti) and a junior emperor (Caesar) to make up the number four that is represented by the word ‘tetrarchy’.

Mfalme Diocletian alifanya rasmi Nicomedia kuwa mji mkuu wa mashariki wa Dola ya Kirumi alipotekeleza mfumo wa Tetrarkia mwaka 293. Mfumo wa Tetrarkia uliundwa kwa mgawanyiko wa magharibi na mashariki wa dola; mashariki na magharibi vyote vikiwa na mfalme mkuu (Augusti) na mfalme mdogo (Caesar), ili kutimiza idadi nne inayowakilishwa na neno “tetrarkia”.

Alpha and Omega

ألڤا دان أوميغا

Diocletian is the omega symbol of the church of Smyrna, and Nero is the alpha symbol. Constantine the Great is the alpha symbol of the church of Pergamos, and Justinian is the omega symbol.

دیۆکلێتیان نیشانی ئۆمێگای کڵێسای سمیرنايە، و نیڕۆ نیشانی ئەلفایە. کۆنستانتینی گەورە نیشانی ئەلفای کڵێسای پەرگامۆسە، و یوستیانیان نیشانی ئۆمێگایە.

The ‘legal’ division of Rome into east and west (which did not last) was accomplished by Diocletian, and the prophetic division of Rome into east and west was accomplished by Constantine. During the history of the second symbolic church of persecution, represented by Smyrna, Rome was legally divided into east and west and in the history of the third symbolic church of compromise, represented by Pergamos, Rome was prophetically divided into east and west. 293 was the alpha and 330 was the omega and on May 11, 330, Constantine the Great dedicated Constantinople as the capital of the Empire.

‘Kisheria’ mgawanyiko wa Rumi kuwa mashariki na magharibi (ambao haukudumu) ulifanywa na Diocletian, na mgawanyiko wa kiunabii wa Rumi kuwa mashariki na magharibi ulifanywa na Constantine. Katika kipindi cha historia ya kanisa la pili la mfano la mateso, linalowakilishwa na Smirna, Rumi iligawanywa kisheria kuwa mashariki na magharibi; na katika historia ya kanisa la tatu la mfano la maridhiano, linalowakilishwa na Pergamo, Rumi iligawanywa kiunabii kuwa mashariki na magharibi. Mwaka 293 ulikuwa alfa na mwaka 330 ulikuwa omega, na tarehe 11 Mei, 330, Constantine Mkuu aliiweka wakfu Konstantinopoli kuwa mji mkuu wa Dola.

The legal division by Diocletian in 293 fell apart through civil war that followed until the Edict of Milan in the year 313, when Constantine of the east and Licinius of the west issued the Edict of Milan, legalizing Christianity, and effectively ending the Tetrarchy—the system of four coordinated rulers that collapsed into a struggle between two main powers (Constantine in the West and Licinius in the East). The legal division, which ushered in a collapse, represents a twenty-year period from division to division, and both divisions precipitated a collapse of the system.

The church of Smyrna began with Nero in 64 when the great fire of Rome was employed by Nero to persecute Christians, who Nero accused of starting the fire. Nero marks the beginning of persecution and typifies the final persecution of the latter days. That final persecution continues until the close of probation, when the papal power comes to its end with none to help. Thus the first period of persecution began with the burning of Rome and it ends with the burning of Rome.

Eklesia ya Smirna yalianza pamoja na Nero mwaka wa 64, wakati ule moto mkuu wa Roma ulipotumiwa na Nero kuwatesa Wakristo, ambao Nero aliwashitaki kuwa ndio walioanzisha moto huo. Nero huashiria mwanzo wa mateso na ni mfano wa mateso ya mwisho ya siku za mwisho. Mateso hayo ya mwisho huendelea mpaka kufungwa kwa muda wa rehema, hapo mamlaka ya upapa hufikilia mwisho wake pasipo kuwa na msaidizi. Hivyo, kipindi cha kwanza cha mateso kilianza kwa kuunguzwa kwa Roma, na humalizika kwa kuunguzwa kwa Roma.

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. Revelation 17:16.

Kandi amahembe ikumi wabonye kuri ya nyamaswa, ayo ni yo azanga maraya, amucure ubutayu kandi amwambure ubusa, kandi azarya umubiri we, amutwike umuriro. Ibyahishuwe 17:16.

The church of Smyrna began with Nero in 64 when the great fire of Rome was employed by Nero to persecute Christians, who Nero accused of starting the fire. Two hundred and fifty years later it ended in 313 with the Edict of Milan. The “edict” is the ending of a twenty-year period that began with Diocletian’s legal division, and it was also the end of the two hundred and fifty years of Smyrna that began with Nero. The two hundred and fifty years of persecution represented by the church of Smyrna and Nero included the ten years of the very worst persecution brought about by Diocletian. That ten years of persecution was the last half of twenty years of Diocletian that began with his legal division of the empire in 293. From the legal division into east and west by Diocletian in 293 began a twenty year period that was made up of two ten-year periods.

Eklezia ya Smirna yalianza pamoja na Nero mwaka wa 64, wakati ule moto mkuu wa Roma ulipotumiwa na Nero kuwatesa Wakristo, ambao Nero aliwashutumu kuwa ndio walioanzisha moto huo. Miaka mia mbili na hamsini baadaye, kilifikia mwisho mwaka wa 313 kwa Tangazo la Milan. “Tangazo” hilo ndilo mwisho wa kipindi cha miaka ishirini kilichoanza kwa mgawanyo wa kisheria wa Diocletian, na pia ndilo lilikuwa mwisho wa miaka mia mbili na hamsini ya Smirna iliyoanza pamoja na Nero. Miaka hiyo mia mbili na hamsini ya mateso inayowakilishwa na eklezia ya Smirna na Nero ilijumuisha miaka kumi ya mateso mabaya zaidi kabisa yaliyoletwa na Diocletian. Miaka hiyo kumi ya mateso ilikuwa nusu ya mwisho ya miaka ishirini ya Diocletian iliyoanza kwa mgawanyo wake wa kisheria wa himaya mwaka wa 293. Tangu mgawanyo wa kisheria wa mashariki na magharibi uliofanywa na Diocletian mwaka wa 293, kulianza kipindi cha miaka ishirini kilichoundwa na vipindi viwili vya miaka kumi.

Diocletian legally divided the empire into east and west, thus typifying the prophetic division accomplished by Constantine. Diocletian’s division was east and west, but it consisted of two rulers in the east and two rulers in the west. One primary and one secondary ruler for each area. On February 23, 303, Diocletian issued the first of several ‘edicts’ against Christians, marking the start of the Great Persecution, (also called the Diocletianic Persecution), the most severe and widespread persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire.

Diocletian aligawa kwa sheria ufalme katika mashariki na magharibi, hivyo akawa mfano wa kinabii wa mgawanyiko uliotekelezwa na Constantine. Mgawanyiko wa Diocletian ulikuwa wa mashariki na magharibi, lakini ulikuwa na watawala wawili katika mashariki na watawala wawili katika magharibi. Mtawala mmoja mkuu na mmoja wa daraja la pili kwa kila upande. Mnamo Februari 23, 303, Diocletian alitoa amri ya kwanza kati ya “amri” kadhaa dhidi ya Wakristo, akiashiria mwanzo wa Mateso Makuu, (pia yakiitwa Mateso ya Diocletian), mateso makali zaidi na yaliyoenea zaidi ya Wakristo katika Milki ya Kirumi.

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 2:8–10.

Na kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Smirna andika; Haya ndiyo asemayo yeye aliye wa kwanza na wa mwisho, aliyekuwa amekufa, naye yu hai; Nayajua matendo yako, na dhiki, na umaskini, (lakini u tajiri) nami nayajua matukano yao wasemao ya kuwa wao ni Wayahudi, wala siyo, bali ni sinagogi la Shetani. Usiogope mambo yale utakayoteswa: tazama, Ibilisi atawatupa baadhi yenu gerezani, mpate kujaribiwa; nanyi mtakuwa na dhiki muda wa siku kumi: uwe mwaminifu hata kufa, nami nitakupa taji ya uzima. Yeye aliye na sikio, na alisikie lile ambalo Roho ayaambia makanisa; Yeye ashindaye hatadhuriwa kamwe na mauti ya pili. Ufunuo 2:8–10.

The Great Persecution continued under Diocletian successors (especially Galerius) until 313, when it ended at the Edict of Milan. Nero is the alpha symbol of persecution that typified Diocletian as the omega persecution of the prophetic period represented by the church of Smyrna. The persecution concluded with a political marriage and a treaty between Constantine of the east and Licinius of the west. In February 313, Constantine and Licinius met in Milan and issued the Edict of Milan, which granted religious tolerance to Christians (and others) across the empire. To strengthen their political alliance, Licinius married Constantia (Constantine’s half-sister) during or around this meeting. This marriage was a classic Roman political alliance—sealing the agreement between the two emperors and helped stabilize the empire temporarily after years of civil war. The alliance did not last long. Constantine and Licinius later fought each other, and Constantine defeated Licinius in 324, becoming the sole ruler.

Kuateseka Kunene kuliendelea chini ya warithi wa Diokletiano (hasa Galerio) hadi mwaka 313, wakati kulipokoma kwa Amri ya Milano. Nero ndiye ishara ya alfa ya mateso yaliyomfananisha Diokletiano kama mateso ya omega ya kipindi cha kinabii kinachowakilishwa na kanisa la Smirna. Mateso hayo yalifikia mwisho kwa ndoa ya kisiasa na mkataba kati ya Konstantino wa mashariki na Licinio wa magharibi. Mnamo Februari 313, Konstantino na Licinio walikutana huko Milano na kutoa Amri ya Milano, ambayo iliwapa Wakristo (na wengineo) uvumilivu wa kidini katika milki yote. Ili kuimarisha muungano wao wa kisiasa, Licinio alimwoa Constantia (dada wa kambo wa Konstantino) wakati wa mkutano huo au karibu na wakati huo. Ndoa hii ilikuwa muungano wa kisiasa wa kawaida wa Kirumi—ikiitia muhuri mapatano kati ya watawala hao wawili na kusaidia kuistawazisha milki kwa muda baada ya miaka ya vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Muungano huo haukudumu muda mrefu. Baadaye Konstantino na Licinio walipigana wao kwa wao, na Konstantino akamshinda Licinio mwaka 324, akawa mtawala wa pekee.

From Nero to Constantine the prophetic period of Smyrna of two hundred and fifty years was accomplished, and in 313 the church of Pergamos, the church of compromise began, ending with the church of Thyatira in 538. The two hundred and fifty years of Smyrna represented a period of persecution, and in the ending of the over-all period Diocletian persecution fulfilled Revelations “ten days” (ten years) where the worst period of persecution represents a fractal of the overall period. The ten years are a fractal of the two hundred and fifty years. Those ten years represent the omega of Nero’s persecution, and at their conclusion the omega division of the empire into east and west.

Nero로부터 Constantine에 이르기까지 250년의 서머나의 예언적 기간이 성취되었고, 313년에 타협의 교회인 버가모 교회가 시작되어 538년에 두아디라 교회로 끝났다. 서머나의 250년은 박해의 기간을 표상하였으며, 그 전체 기간의 마지막에서 디오클레티아누스의 박해는 요한계시록의 “열흘”(십 년)을 성취하였는데, 이 최악의 박해 기간은 전체 기간의 프랙탈을 나타낸다. 그 십 년은 250년의 프랙탈이다. 그 십 년은 Nero의 박해의 오메가를 나타내며, 그 결말에서 제국의 오메가적 분열, 곧 동방과 서방으로의 분열이 이루어졌다.

Marriage and Divorce

Evlilik ve Boşanma

Smyrna began at the burning of Rome in 64 and ended two hundred and fifty years later in 313 with the Edict of Milan and the political marriage of east and west. The ten-year fractal of persecution began in 303 and ended in 313 with the Edict of Milan and the political marriage of east and west. The twenty years that began with the legal division of east and west in 293 by Diocletian ended in 313 with the political marriage of east and west. The marriage treaty of 313 between east and west ended with the divorce of 324, when Constantine defeated Licinius of the west and became sole ruler of Rome. The prophetic divorce of 324 came three years after the first Sunday law in 321.

Smirna ilianza wakati wa kuchomwa kwa Roma mwaka 64 na ikaisha miaka mia mbili na hamsini baadaye, mwaka 313, kwa Amri ya Milan na ndoa ya kisiasa ya mashariki na magharibi. Fraktali ya miaka kumi ya mateso ilianza mwaka 303 na ikaisha mwaka 313 kwa Amri ya Milan na ndoa ya kisiasa ya mashariki na magharibi. Miaka ishirini iliyoanza kwa mgawanyiko wa kisheria wa mashariki na magharibi mwaka 293 chini ya Diocletian iliisha mwaka 313 kwa ndoa ya kisiasa ya mashariki na magharibi. Mkataba wa ndoa wa mwaka 313 kati ya mashariki na magharibi uliisha kwa talaka ya mwaka 324, wakati Constantine alipomshinda Licinius wa magharibi na kuwa mtawala pekee wa Roma. Talaka ya kinabii ya mwaka 324 ilikuja miaka mitatu baada ya sheria ya kwanza ya Jumapili mwaka 321.

The seventeen years from 313 unto 330 identifies a political marriage, and the end of the persecution represented by Smyrna and Nero, and the beginning of the church of compromise represented by Pergamos. The beginning of Pergamos in 313 at the marriage, was followed by the beginning of the persecution that began at the first Sunday law in 321. That was followed by the prophetic divorce of 324, which brought east and west into one empire under Constantine. Six years later in 330 the division into east and west was prophetically repeated. The seventeen years represent the alpha period of the church of Pergamos that would continue until the church of Thyatira arrived in prophetic history in 538. That alpha period would represent an omega history at the end of the period from 330 unto 538. The omega history of Pergamos represents the period of 496, 508 and 533.

Miaka kumi na saba kutoka 313 hadi 330 hutambulisha ndoa ya kisiasa, na mwisho wa mateso yanayowakilishwa na Smirna na Nero, na mwanzo wa kanisa la maridhiano linalowakilishwa na Pergamo. Mwanzo wa Pergamo mwaka 313 katika ndoa hiyo, ulifuatiwa na mwanzo wa mateso yaliyoanza katika sheria ya kwanza ya Jumapili mwaka 321. Hayo yakafuatiwa na talaka ya kinabii ya mwaka 324, iliyoleta mashariki na magharibi kuwa himaya moja chini ya Konstantino. Miaka sita baadaye, mwaka 330, mgawanyiko wa mashariki na magharibi ulirudiwa kinabii. Miaka hiyo kumi na saba inawakilisha kipindi cha alfa cha kanisa la Pergamo ambacho kingeendelea mpaka kanisa la Thiatira lilipowasili katika historia ya kinabii mwaka 538. Kipindi hicho cha alfa kingewakilisha historia ya omega mwishoni mwa kipindi cha kutoka 330 hadi 538. Historia ya omega ya Pergamo inawakilisha kipindi cha 496, 508, na 533.

Seventeen Years

ده‌وهەفت ساڵ

Ptolemy of the battle of Raphia reigned “seventeen years,” and there were “seventeen years” between the battle of Raphia and the battle of Panium. Those seventeen years symbolically align with the seventeen years from 313 unto 330. Nero’s two hundred and fifty years of Smyrna led to the first seventeen years of the church of Pergamos, and connect with the two hundred and fifty years that began at the third decree in 457BC, the starting point of the 2300 years of Daniel eight and verse fourteen, and is the foundation and central pillar of Adventism. The two witnesses of two hundred and fifty years align with the two hundred and fifty years of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy that began in 1776 and ends this year in 2026.

Ptolemy wa vita vya Raphia alitawala “miaka kumi na saba,” na kulikuwa na “miaka kumi na saba” kati ya vita vya Raphia na vita vya Panium. Miaka hiyo kumi na saba kwa ishara inalingana na miaka kumi na saba kutoka 313 hadi 330. Miaka mia mbili na hamsini ya Nero ya Smirna iliongoza kwenye miaka kumi na saba ya kwanza ya kanisa la Pergamo, na inaunganishwa na miaka mia mbili na hamsini iliyoanza katika amri ya tatu mwaka 457 KK, mahali pa kuanzia pa miaka 2300 ya Danieli sura ya nane na mstari wa kumi na nne, nayo ndiyo msingi na nguzo kuu ya Uadventista. Mashahidi wawili wa miaka mia mbili na hamsini wanalingana na miaka mia mbili na hamsini ya ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia ulioanza mwaka 1776 na unaomalizika mwaka huu wa 2026.

The pioneers of Adventism did not see or understand the seventeen years of 313 to 330, for in 1844 they did not yet even understand the issue of the seventh-day Sabbath or the day of the sun. They did however recognize the one hundred and fifty years of verse ten of Revelation nine, and it became the starting point of a period that led to the three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days that ended on August 11, 1840. That understanding produced a mighty “manifestation of the power of God.”

പതിനേഴാം നൂറ്റാണ്ടിലെ 313 മുതൽ 330 വരെയുള്ള പതിനേഴു വർഷങ്ങളെ അഡ്വെന്റിസത്തിന്റെ മുൻഗാമികൾ കണ്ടുമറിഞ്ഞില്ലയും മനസ്സിലാക്കിയില്ലയും; കാരണം 1844-ൽ അവർ ഏഴാംദിന ശബ്ബത്തിനെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള പ്രശ്നവും സൂര്യന്റെ ദിവസത്തെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള പ്രശ്നവും ഇനിയും മനസ്സിലാക്കിയിരുന്നില്ല. എങ്കിലും അവർ വെളിപ്പാടു 9-ആം അധ്യായത്തിലെ 10-ആം വചനത്തിലെ നൂറ്റിയമ്പതു വർഷങ്ങളെ തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞു; അതു 1840 ആഗസ്റ്റ് 11-ന് അവസാനിച്ച മൂന്നുനൂറ്റി തൊണ്ണൂറ്റൊന്നു വർഷവും പതിനഞ്ചു ദിവസവും എന്ന കാലയളവിലേക്കു നയിച്ച ഒരു കാലഘട്ടത്തിന്റെ ആരംഭബിന്ദുവായി മാറി. ആ ബോധ്യം ദൈവത്തിന്റെ ശക്തിയുടെ മഹത്തായ ഒരു “പ്രകടനം” ഉളവാക്കി.

The pioneers did not recognize a second period of one hundred and fifty years in Revelation nine. Their foundational understanding represents the platform that the “new light” of Revelation nine is built upon. That light is opened by the “key” of the battle of Nineveh. That “key” allows a student of prophecy to recognize all the kingdoms of Bible prophecy represented in Daniel and Revelation. Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, the Seleucid and Ptolemaic empires, the kingdom of Mohammed, and more significantly it magnifies the empire of Rome by identifying the rise and fall of not only Rome, but also the kingdoms of eastern and western Rome, as well as the United States (the false prophet), the papacy (the beast) and the United Nations (the dragon). All the rises and falls of these kingdoms testify to the movements of the dragon, the beast and false prophet that ultimately bring the world to Armageddon. That movement is represented within the last six verses of Daniel eleven, and the beginning of that movement is represented in the hidden history of verse forty.

Abapayiniya ba mbere ntibamenye igihe cya kabiri cy’imyaka ijana na mirongo itanu kiri mu Byahishuwe cya cyenda. Uko gusobanukirwa kwabo kw’ishingiro ni ko kugize urubuga “umucyo mushya” wo mu Byahishuwe cya cyenda yubakiyeho. Uwo mucyo ukingurwa n’“urufunguzo” rw’intambara ya Nineve. Urwo “rufunguzo” rutuma umunyeshuri w’ubuhanuzi amenya ubwami bwose bw’ubuhanuzi bwo muri Bibiliya bugaragajwe muri Daniyeli no mu Byahishuwe. Babuloni, Abamedi n’Abaperesi, Ubugiriki, ubwami bw’Abaseluside n’Abatolemi, ubwami bwa Mohammed, kandi ikirenzeho bukagaragaza cyane ubwami bw’Abaroma bugaragaza kuzamuka no kugwa bitari ubw’Abaroma bonyine, ahubwo n’ubwami bw’Abaroma b’iburasirazuba n’ubw’iburengerazuba, kimwe n’Amerika Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika (umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma), ubupapa (inyamaswa) n’Umuryango w’Abibumbye (ikiyoka). Uku kuzamuka no kugwa kose kw’ayo mabwami guhamya imigenderanire y’ikiyoka, inyamaswa n’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma amaherezo izana isi kuri Harumagedoni. Uwo mugendero ugaragarirwa mu mirongo itandatu ya nyuma ya Daniyeli cumi na rimwe, kandi intangiriro y’uwo mugendero igaragarirwa mu mateka ahishwe yo mu murongo wa mirongo ine.

The battle of Nineveh provides the prophetic point of reference to align the testimonies of the empire of Rome, the kingdoms of eastern and western Rome and papal Rome in the sequence of end-time events. Thus, the battle of Nineveh is the key that fully illustrates the various prophetic testimonies of Rome, and according to verse fourteen of Daniel eleven, it is Rome that establishes the vision. The key that brings those lines together is the battle of Nineveh.
