“By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.
“Kᴜmʋlʋmo wa mʋsao ʋa kuikaza taasisi ya upapa kwa kukiuka sheria ya Mungu, taifa letu litajitenga kabisa na haki. Wakati Uprotestanti utakapo nyoosha mkono wake kuvuka pengo ili kushika mkono wa mamlaka ya Kirumi, wakati utakapofika juu ya lile shimo kuu ili kushikana mikono na uwasiliani-roho, wakati, chini ya mvuto wa muungano huu wa namna tatu, nchi yetu itakapokataa kila kanuni ya Katiba yake kama serikali ya Kiprotestanti na ya kijamhuri, na kufanya maandalizi kwa ajili ya kuenezwa kwa uongo na udanganyifu wa kipapa, ndipo tutakapoweza kujua ya kwamba wakati umefika kwa ajili ya utendaji wa ajabu wa Shetani na kwamba mwisho umekaribia.”
“As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return. The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress which prophets have described as the time of Jacob’s trouble. The cries of the faithful, persecuted ones ascend to heaven. And as the blood of Abel cried from the ground, there are voices also crying to God from martyrs’ graves, from the sepulchers of the sea, from mountain caverns, from convent vaults: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’
“Buya kulandira kwa bita bya baRoma kwali cimanyikwilo ku basambi ca konaika kwa Yerusalemu ukuli pa kufika, efyo no bucipulumushi ubu bwingaba cimanyikwilo kuli ifwe ukuti umupaka wa kulefwaya kwa kwa Lesa wafika, ukuti icipimo ca bubi bwa calo cesu caisula, kabili ukuti malaika wa luse ali pa kupupuka, ukuti takabwele limbi. Elyo abantu ba kwa Lesa bakaponena muli filya ifishibilo fya mapenzi no kutalalika ifyo bakasesema basosele nga ni nshita ya makata ya kwa Yakobo. Ukulila kwa bashupa abeesu, abo batambwilwa, kukwela ku mulu.

“The Lord is doing His work. All heaven is astir. The Judge of all the earth is soon to arise and vindicate His insulted authority. The mark of deliverance will be set upon the men who keep God’s commandments, who revere His law, and who refuse the mark of the beast or of his image.
“NORO ari gukora umurimo We. Ijuru ryose riri mu gahinda k’ubwumvagane. Umucamanza w’isi yose ari hafi guhaguruka kandi agatsindishirize ubutware Bwe bwatutswe.

“God has revealed what is to take place in the last days, that His people may be prepared to stand against the tempest of opposition and wrath. Those who have been warned of the events before them are not to sit in calm expectation of the coming storm, comforting themselves that the Lord will shelter His faithful ones in the day of trouble. We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance. While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should endeavor to disarm prejudice by placing ourselves in a proper light before the people. We should bring before them the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures and be able to give the reason for our faith. Says the prophet: ‘The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.’” Testimonies, volume 5, 451, 452.

When the “Sunday movement” “shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon.” The four paragraphs identify that at the Sunday law the United States “will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.” At the Sunday law “the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” At the Sunday law the threefold union is accomplished. At the Sunday law the United States “repudiates every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant republican government”, and they also “make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions.” That Sunday law is a “sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return.” That sign was typified by the warning given by Jesus identifying the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. It is there that the prayer given by the martyrs of the fifth seal ask, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” is accomplished. It is also at that waymark that the foolish and wise virgins manifest their characters.

At the Sunday law, the United States “repudiates every principle of its Constitution.” The period of time when this work was accomplished began with the Patriot Act in 2001. 2001 until the Sunday law represents a progressive work of repudiating the Constitution. That progressive work corresponds to the line of prophecy where the formation of the image of the beast is accomplished. The line of the image of the beast may appear a bit more complicated, but the complication is worth understanding. What complicates the line of the image of the beast is that it represents two lines.
Ku wa Sabata, Marekani “hukataa kila kanuni ya Katiba yake.” Kipindi cha wakati ambacho kazi hii ilitimizwa kilianza kwa Sheria ya Patriot mwaka 2001. Mwaka 2001 hadi Ku wa Sabata huwakilisha kazi ya hatua kwa hatua ya kuikataa Katiba. Kazi hiyo ya hatua kwa hatua inalingana na mstari wa unabii ambapo kufanyika kwa sanamu ya mnyama kunatimizwa. Mstari wa sanamu ya mnyama waweza kuonekana kuwa mgumu kidogo zaidi, lakini ugumu huo unastahili kueleweka. Kile kinachoufanya mstari wa sanamu ya mnyama kuwa mgumu ni kwamba huwakilisha mistari miwili.
For the earth beast the two lines are the horns of Republicanism and Protestantism. Those two horns come together into a church-state relationship and thus fulfill the formation of the image of the beast. The line of the formation of the image of the beast therefore has two lines within the one line, for the Republican and Protestant horns run parallel to one another through history, but their individual lines also have their own prophetic testimony to bear. One prophetic line, with two parallel subjects, is more complicated than simply marking the waymarks of political actions that represent the speaking associated with the Constitution.
بە لای ئاژەڵی زەوی، ئەو دوو هێڵە شاخەکانی کۆمارییەت و پرۆتستانتیزمەن. ئەو دوو شاخە لە یەکەوە دێن بۆ پەیوەندییەکی کڵێسا-دەوڵەت، و بەو شێوەیە پێکهاتنی وێنەی ئاژەڵ تەواو دەکەن. لەبەر ئەوە، هێڵی پێکهاتنی وێنەی ئاژەڵ لەناو ئەو یەک هێڵەدا دوو هێڵی تێدایە، چونکە شاخە کۆماری و پرۆتستانتەکان لە مێژوودا هاوتەریب یەکدی تر دەڕۆن، بەڵام هێڵە تایبەتەکانیان هەریەکەیان شایەتحاڵی پێغەمبەرانەی خۆیان هەیە بۆ هەڵگرتن. یەک هێڵی پێغەمبەرانە، لەگەڵ دوو بابەتی هاوتەریب، ئاڵۆزترە لەوەی تەنها نیشانە-ڕێگاکانی کردارە سیاسییەکان دیاری بکرێن کە نوێنەرایەتیی ئەو قسەکردنە دەکەن کە پەیوەندیدارە بە دەستوورەوە.
The two lines of Republican and Protestant horns is further complicated by the prophetic fact that within the Republican horn is the history of the struggle between proslavery Democrats, and antislavery Republicans; and further that within the Protestant horn there is a continual testing process that follows the wise and the foolish virgins within the history of the Protestant horn. Still, it is highly important to settle into these truths.
Minyore ibiri y’amahembe y’Abanyagihugu n’ay’Abaporotesitanti irushiriza kugorana kubera ukuri kw’ubuhanuzi yuko, mu ihembe ry’Abanyagihugu, harimwo amateka y’intambara hagati y’Abademokarate bashigikira uburetwa n’Abanyagihugu barwanya uburetwa; kandi kandi yuko, mu ihembe ry’Abaporotesitanti, harimwo igikorwa co kugerageza kidahengeshanya gikurikira abigeme cumi b’abanyabwenge n’ibijuju mu mateka y’ihembe ry’Abaporotesitanti. Ariko naho biri uko, ni ngirakamaro cane gushinga imizi muri ukwo kuri.
Within the line represented by the earth beast’s two horns is the parallel illustration of either forming a character of Christ or a character of Satan, which equates to either forming an image of Christ or an image of the beast, for in this context the “beast” represents a created being in contrast with the Creator. The formation of these attributes is accomplished internally among all men, for when probation closes there are only two classes. The formation is also accomplished externally with the alliance between the papal power and the United Nations.
ल्वीलो lwa kyaalo ikileshiibwe ku masebe yabili ya nyama ya pa nsi, mwiilimo icilangililo ca kufwanako ca kuti umuntu apange imibele ya Kristo nangu imibele ya Satana; ico cilingana no kupanga icikope ca Kristo nangu icikope ca nyama, pantu muli ici cilangililo “nyama” iiminina icibumbwa, mu kupusana na Kabumba. Ukupangwa kwa iyi mibele kusangukila munda ya bantu bonse, pantu ilyo inshita ya kupima ileisala, kubapo fye imitundu ibili. Kandi uku kupanga kusangukila no ku lubali lwa kunse mu cipope cakwampana pakati ka bukateka bwa bupaapa na United Nations.
So, the testing time for the formation of the image of the beast began in 2001, and it ends at the Sunday law in the United States. In that period of time the prophetic history of the earth beast’s two horns illustrates an internal and external controversy within their respective horns, whether it be religious or political, and also a struggle between the two horns themselves.
Noolwisi bwa kuyesegerezibwa olw’okubumbibwa kw’ekifaananyi ky’ensolo kyatandika mu 2001, era bukoma ku tteeka lya Ssande mu United States. Mu kiseera ekyo, ebyafaayo eby’obunnabbi eby’amayembe gombi ag’ensolo ey’ensi biraga empaka ez’omunda n’ez’ebweru munda mu buli limu ku mayembe gaayo, ka zibe ez’eddiini oba ez’ebyobufuzi, era n’okulwana wakati w’amayembe gombi gennyini.
The Sunday law in the United States represents the warning to flee which Jesus identified as “the abomination of desolation.” The Sunday law in the United States is the conclusion of the period that began in 2001. The Patriot Act was the “abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel”, and identified by Jesus as a sign to flee from a coming destruction.
دەڤەری یاسای یەکشەممە لە ویلایەتە یەکگرتووەکانی ئەمریکا هۆشدارییەکەی ڕاکردن نوێنەرایەتی دەکات کە عیسا ناساندی وەک «قێزەونی وێرانکەر». یاسای یەکشەممە لە ویلایەتە یەکگرتووەکانی ئەمریکا کۆتایی ماوەیەکەیە کە لە ساڵی 2001 دەستی پێ کرد. یاسای Patriot ئەوە بوو «قێزەونی وێرانکەر کە دانیال باسی لێوە کرد»، و لەلایەن عیساوە وەک نیشانەیەک ناسێنرا بۆ ڕاکردن لە وێرانبوونێکی داهاتوو.
The Patriot Act includes the prophetic light of 1888, and the Blair Bill. The Patriot Act then also prophetically contains the typification of the Sunday law, so the period from 2001 begins with a Sunday law as typified by 1888—Blair Bill, 2001—Patriot Act, and it ends with the Sunday law.
Amategeko ya Patriot arimwo umuco w’ubuhanuzi wo mu 1888, hamwe n’Itegeko rya Blair. Ni co gituma kandi Amategeko ya Patriot mu buryo bw’ubuhanuzi arimwo ikigereranyo c’itegeko ryo ku wa Mungu, rero igihe gitangurira mu 2001 gitangurana n’itegeko ryo ku wa Mungu nk’uko ryagereranyijwe na 1888—Itegeko rya Blair, 2001—Amategeko ya Patriot, kandi kirangirana n’itegeko ryo ku wa Mungu.
The warning to flee the cities in 2001, typifies the warning to flee from Babylon at the Sunday law. The judgment brought upon the United States at the Sunday law typifies the judgment brought upon the entire world when Michael stands up and human probation closes. Christ’s signature as Alpha and Omega is repeatedly represented within the truths represented by the Blair Bill in 1888, and all that 1888 represents, repeating in 2001.
Alionyo lya kutuva mu misi mu 2001, lilikoolola alionyo lya kutuva mu Babuloni ku Sunday law. Olo toso lyakaaletwa aa United States ku Sunday law, lilikoolola toso lyakaaletwa aa nyika yoonse ciindi Michael naimikila alimwi probation ya bantu yaamaninina. Signature ya Kristo njali Alpha and Omega, ilaakuyubununwa ciindi aciindi mumpululu zya bwini ziliyubulwidwa aa Blair Bill mu 1888, alimwi mooli zyoonse zilya 1888 ziyubulula, kazibwelela alimwi mu 2001.
2001, which was typified by 1888, represents not only the sign to flee as represented by the abomination of desolation, but it was also represented by 66 AD and the siege of Cestius. The siege of Titus in 70 AD represents the Sunday law in the United States. The Sunday law in the United States is represented by the year 321 and the first Sunday law of Constantine, and 538 represents when the last nation of the earth succumbs to the mark of the beast.
2001, eyiti 1888 jẹ́ àpẹẹrẹ rẹ̀, kì í ṣe àmì láti sá nìkan gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti ṣàfihàn rẹ̀ nínú ohun ìríra ìdahoro, ṣùgbọ́n a tún ṣàpẹẹrẹ rẹ̀ nípa ọdún 66 Lẹ́yìn Ìbí Kristi àti ìdótì Cestius.

2001 is 1888, Cestius and the year 66 AD. The Sunday law is Titus and the years 70 and 321. 2001 is also the baptism of Jesus, and His descent in Revelation chapter ten on August 11, 1840. All these symbols contribute to the line of the Constitution.
2001 ni 1888, Cestius, na mwaka wa 66 BK. Sheria ya Jumapili ni Tito na miaka ya 70 na 321. 2001 pia ni ubatizo wa Yesu, na kushuka Kwake katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi tarehe 11 Agosti, 1840. Alama hizi zote zinachangia mstari wa Katiba.
The prophetic history of the United States runs parallel to the history of Adventism. In 1798 the papacy received its deadly wound, and 1798 was the time of the end when the portion of the prophecies of Daniel that related to the history of the first and second angels of Revelation fourteen was unsealed. There in 1798, Adventism’s prophetic beginning is marked, and in 1798 the earth-beast with lamblike horns became the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.
Maandiko ya kinabii ya Marekani yanaenda sambamba na historia ya Uadventista. Mwaka 1798 upapa ulipokea jeraha lake la mauti, na 1798 ulikuwa wakati wa mwisho ambapo sehemu ya unabii wa Danieli iliyohusiana na historia ya malaika wa kwanza na wa pili wa Ufunuo kumi na nne ilifunguliwa. Hapo katika mwaka 1798 ndipo mwanzo wa kinabii wa Uadventista unawekwa alama, na katika mwaka 1798 mnyama wa nchi mwenye pembe kama za mwana-kondoo akawa ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia.
1798 was preceded by three prophetic waymarks associated with the line of the earth beast, and therefore with the speaking of the United States, and the Constitution of the United States. Those three waymarks were the Declaration of Independence, spoken in 1776, then the Constitution in 1789, and then the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
1798 yakurikiwe n’ibimenyetso bitatu by’ubuhanuzi bifitanye isano n’umurongo w’inyamaswa yo mu isi, bityo bikaba bifitanye isano no kuvuga kwa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika no n’Itegeko Nshinga rya Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika. Ibyo bimenyetso bitatu ni Itangazo ry’Ubwigenge, ryatangajwe mu 1776, hanyuma Itegeko Nshinga mu 1789, maze nyuma yaho Amategeko y’Abanyamahanga n’Ayo Gucisha Bugufi mu 1798.
Those three waymarks address the prophetic line of the Constitution and mark the beginning of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The Sunday law is the end of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy’s reign, and therefore there must be of prophetic necessity three waymarks that precede the end, as typified by the three waymarks that preceded the beginning.
Alama hizo tatu za njia zinahusu mstari wa kinabii wa Katiba na zinaashiria mwanzo wa ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia. Sheria ya Jumapili ndiyo mwisho wa utawala wa ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia, na kwa hiyo ni lazima, kwa ulazima wa kinabii, kuwepo alama tatu za njia zinazoutangulia mwisho huo, kama zilivyofananishwa na alama tatu za njia zilizoutangulia mwanzo wake.
In 2001, at the fall of the towers, the Patriot Act, is typified by the Blair Bill of 1888, along with the manifest rebellion of Adventism’s leadership at the Minneapolis General Conference. A rebellion which an angel told Sister White was typified by the rebellion against Moses by Korah, Dathan and Abiram is also typified by the baptism of Christ in 27 AD, the restraint of Islam on August 11, 1840 and the Declaration of Independence in 1776, as well as the “abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet” as a sign to flee from the coming wrath, as represented by Cestius and 66 AD.
Mu 2001, pa kugwa kwa minara, Patriot Act imesawiriwa na Blair Bill ya 1888, pamoja na uasi wa wazi wa uongozi wa Waadventista katika Mkutano Mkuu wa Minneapolis. Uasi ambao malaika alimwambia Dada White ulisawiriwa na uasi dhidi ya Musa wa Kora, Dathani, na Abiramu, pia umesawiriwa na ubatizo wa Kristo katika 27 BK, kuzuiliwa kwa Uislamu tarehe 11 Agosti, 1840, na Tangazo la Uhuru la 1776, vilevile na “chukizo la uharibifu, lililonenwa na Danieli nabii” kama ishara ya kukimbia kutoka kwa ghadhabu inayokuja, kama ilivyowakilishwa na Cestius na 66 BK.
If you can still remember that the line of prophecy we are now considering is the line of the Constitution of the United States, all of the aforementioned prophetic lines contribute to and establish the prophetic theme represented by the line of the Constitution. Yet the line which appears to be the most interconnected line is the line of the formation of the image of the beast. The image of the beast is an image of the papal beast, which is represented as a beast with a woman reigning over the beast, which is the combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. In order for the United States to form an image to the beast, apostate Protestantism must so control the government to the point where the government will pass and enforce religious statutes, and ultimately the Sunday law.
Kana waashikukwenda kukumbukila nti omusitale gw’obunnabbi gwe tuli kaakano kutunuulilako, gwe musitale gwa Ssemateeka wa Amerika, emisitale gyonna egy’obunnabbi egyayogeddwako waggulu giyambako era ginyweza omulamwa gw’obunnabbi ogukiikirirwa omusitale gwa Ssemateeka. Naye omusitale ogulabika okubeera ogusinga okulung’amagana n’emisitale emirala gwe musitale gw’okutondebwawo kw’ekifaananyi ky’ensolo. Ekifaananyi ky’ensolo kye kifaananyi ky’ensolo ey’obwapapa, ekiikirirwako ng’ensolo eriko omukazi afuga ku nsolo, kwe kugatta kw’ekkanisa n’eggwanga nga ekkanisa ye efuga enkolagana eyo. Amerika okusobola okutondebwawo ekifaananyi eri ensolo, Obuprotesitante obwakyewaggula ku mazima buteekwa okufuga gavumenti okutuuka ku kigero nti gavumenti eneeyisa era eteekesa mu nkola amateeka ag’eddiini, era ku nkomerero etteeka lya Ssande.
As the process of forming the image of the beast is accomplished, the Constitution, written with a premier principle which Thomas Jefferson penned as “separation of church and state,” is to be overturned. When the Protestant horn has the power to direct the Republican horn to enforce religious mandates, the very heart of the Constitution is torn apart, thus you have the prophetic relationship between the line of the Constitution and the line of the image of the beast.
Mufano wa kupanga sanamu ya mnyama unapotimizwa, Katiba, iliyoandikwa kwa kanuni ya kwanza kabisa ambayo Thomas Jefferson aliitunga kama “kutenganishwa kwa kanisa na serikali,” itapinduliwa. Pembe ya Kiprotestanti itakapokuwa na mamlaka ya kuelekeza pembe ya Kirepublican kutekeleza maagizo ya kidini, kiini chenyewe cha Katiba kitapasuliwa; hivyo basi, hapo ndipo ulipo uhusiano wa kiunabii kati ya mstari wa Katiba na mstari wa sanamu ya mnyama.
The period where the image of the beast is formed began in 2001, with the Patriot Act, and it ends at the Sunday law, when the mark of the beast is enforced. During that period the latter rain is sprinkled, for the latter rain begins to fall when the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descends and lightens the earth with His glory, which, according to Sister White, would occur when the great buildings of New York City were brought down by a touch of the Lord.
Muunda omo ekifaananyi ky’ensolo gye kikolerwamu gwatandika mu mwaka gwa 2001, n’Etteeka lya Patriot Act, era gukoma ku tteeka lya Ssande, akabonero k’ensolo lwe kalagirwa. Mu kiseera ekyo enkuba ey’oluvannyuma emansirirwa, kubanga enkuba ey’oluvannyuma etandika okutonnya malayika ow’amaanyi ow’Okubikkulirwa kkumi na munaana bw’akka n’amulisa ensi n’ekitiibwa kye, ekyo, ng’okusinziira ku Sister White, kyandibaddewo ebizimbe ebinene eby’Olukugaana lwa New York bwe byandisuuliddwa wansi n’okukwatako kwa Mukama.
“The latter rain is to fall upon the people of God. A mighty angel is to come down from heaven, and the whole earth is to be lighted with his glory.” Review and Herald, April 21, 1891.
“Mvula ya ndzhaku yi ta nela ehenhla ka vanhu va Xikwembu. Ntsumi leyi nga ni matimba yi ta xika hi le tilweni, kutani misava hinkwayo yi ta voningisiwa hi ku vangama ka yona.” Review and Herald, April 21, 1891.
The period of the sprinkling of the latter rain represents a period of time when the wheat and tares of Adventism’s last generation are being sifted and purged. That sifting and purging ends at the Sunday law, and the wise virgins who possess the oil when the crisis of the Sunday law arrives, are sealed and then the Holy Spirit is poured out without measure until Michael stands up and human probation closes.
Mvulazo wa kipindi cha kunyunyuziwa kwa mvua ya masika ya mwisho unawakilisha kipindi cha wakati ambacho ngano na magugu vya kizazi cha mwisho cha Waadventista vinapeperushwa na kutakaswa. Kupeperushwa huko na kutakaswa huko hukoma wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili, na mabikira wenye hekima walio na mafuta wakati mgogoro wa sheria ya Jumapili unapowadia, hutiwa muhuri, kisha Roho Mtakatifu humwagwa bila kipimo hata Mikaeli asimame na muda wa rehema ya mwanadamu ufungwe.
During the formation of the image of the beast in the United States the latter rain will be sprinkling, and during the formation of the image of the beast in the world the latter rain will be poured out without measure.
Mungu ya nyika Kuku wa Kyɔrya mu Leta Zya United States, mvula ya nyuma ikaba ikunyunyuta; kabili mu kupanga chifwani cha nyamabala mu nsi yonsi, mvula ya nyuma ikaba ikumwikwa atali na chipimo.
In 2001 the testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church began, as typified by the Protestants of August 11, 1840, and by ancient Israel when Christ was baptized.
Mu 2001 ni ho kwipimisha kw’Eklezia ya Badivantisiti b’Umunsi gw’Indwi b’i Lawodikiya kwatangiye, nk’uko kwagereranyijwe n’Abaporotesitanti bo ku wa 11 Kanama 1840, no na Isirayeli ya kera igihe Kristo yabatizwaga.
“The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in the revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin-pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth.” Selected Messages, book 1, 362.
“Ithaa rya kumenyithania ni rya twamala kugerako, kukorane ijwi riruru rya marayika wa gatatu ryatanguye kera mu guhishurwa kw’ubugororotsi bwa Kristo, Umucunguzi ababarira ivyaha. Ubu ni bwo buryo bw’intango bw’umuco wa wa marayika, uw’icubahiro ciwe kizokwuzura isi yose.” Selected Messages, book 1, 362.
The final testing process for the former covenant people begins when the light of the angel of Revelation eighteen begins to present His message. His message is also represented in the first three verses of chapter eighteen of Revelation, and those three verses were, according to Sister White fulfilled when the great buildings of New York City came down.
Mchakato wa mwisho wa kujaribiwa kwa watu wa agano la zamani huanza wakati nuru ya malaika wa Ufunuo kumi na nane inapoanza kuwasilisha ujumbe Wake. Ujumbe Wake pia unawakilishwa katika aya tatu za kwanza za sura ya kumi na nane ya Ufunuo, na aya hizo tatu, kulingana na Sister White, zilitimizwa wakati majengo makubwa ya Jiji la New York yalipoanguka.
The testing process then began, as represented by John in chapter ten of Revelation. The test was whether you would take the little book that was in the angel’s hand, and then eat it. During this testing period, while the latter rain is being sprinkled it is falling only upon those who choose to take the little book and eat it.
Ndolonga ja kuyesama aya pakatuka, ngeyi yaimirwe na Yohane mu kapati ka dikumi ka Kusokolola. Kuyesama kwacho kwa li ngeeyi: nyi mutambula buku ya kakesa ya li mu diboko dya mwanjelo, mana nyi yi dya. Mu kimye kya kuyesama oku, pano mvula ya kunyuma ikele ya kupupukila, ikele ya kulokela kaka pa avo basola kutambula buku ya kakesa ne kuyidya.
“Many have in a great measure failed to receive the former rain. They have not obtained all the benefits that God has thus provided for them. They expect that the lack will be supplied by the latter rain. When the richest abundance of grace shall be bestowed, they intend to open their hearts to receive it. They are making a terrible mistake. The work that God has begun in the human heart in giving His light and knowledge must be continually going forward. Every individual must realize his own necessity. The heart must be emptied of every defilement and cleansed for the indwelling of the Spirit. It was by the confession and forsaking of sin, by earnest prayer and consecration of themselves to God, that the early disciples prepared for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The same work, only in greater degree, must be done now. Then the human agent had only to ask for the blessing, and wait for the Lord to perfect the work concerning him. It is God who began the work, and He will finish His work, making man complete in Jesus Christ. But there must be no neglect of the grace represented by the former rain. Only those who are living up to the light they have will receive greater light. Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” Testimonies to Ministers, 506, 507.
“বহুতে মহা পরিমাণে প্রথম বৃষ্টি গ্রহণ করিতে ব্যর্থ হইয়াছে। ঈশ্বর এইরূপে তাহাদের জন্য যে সকল সুফলের ব্যবস্থা করিয়াছেন, তাহাদের সকলই তাহারা লাভ করে নাই। তাহারা আশা করে যে, এই অভাব শেষ বৃষ্টির দ্বারা পূরণ হইবে। যখন অনুগ্রহের সর্বাধিক সমৃদ্ধ প্রাচুর্য দান করা হইবে, তখন তাহারা তাহা গ্রহণ করিবার জন্য আপন হৃদয় উন্মুক্ত করিবার সংকল্প করে। তাহারা ভয়াবহ ভুল করিতেছে। মানব-হৃদয়ে আপন আলো ও জ্ঞান দান করিয়া ঈশ্বর যে কার্য আরম্ভ করিয়াছেন, তাহা অবশ্যই অবিরত অগ্রসর হইতে থাকিবে। প্রত্যেক ব্যক্তিকে আপন নিজ প্রয়োজন অনুভব করিতে হইবে। হৃদয়কে প্রত্যেক অপবিত্রতা হইতে শূন্য করিয়া আত্মার অধিবাসের জন্য শুচি করিতে হইবে। পাপ স্বীকার ও পরিত্যাগের দ্বারা, আন্তরিক প্রার্থনার দ্বারা, এবং আপনাদিগকে ঈশ্বরের নিকটে উৎসর্গ করিবার দ্বারা, প্রাচীন শিষ্যগণ পেন্টেকষ্টের দিবসে পবিত্র আত্মার বর্ষণের জন্য প্রস্তুত হইয়াছিল। সেই একই কার্য, কেবল অধিকতর মাত্রায়, এখন সম্পন্ন হইতে হইবে। তখন মানবীয় কর্মাধিকারীর কেবল আশীর্বাদের জন্য প্রার্থনা করিয়া, এবং প্রভুর অপেক্ষা করিয়া থাকিতে হইত, যেন তিনি তাহার সম্বন্ধে কার্য সিদ্ধ করেন। কার্য আরম্ভ করিয়াছেন ঈশ্বর, এবং তিনিই যীশু খ্রীষ্টে মনুষ্যকে পরিপূর্ণ করিয়া আপন কার্য সমাপ্ত করিবেন। কিন্তু প্রথম বৃষ্টির দ্বারা নির্দেশিত অনুগ্রহের প্রতি কোনো অবহেলা থাকিতে পারিবে না। কেবল তাহারাই, যাহারা প্রাপ্ত আলোর অনুরূপ জীবন যাপন করে, অধিকতর আলো গ্রহণ করিবে। আমরা যদি প্রতিদিন সক্রিয় খ্রীষ্টীয় সদ্গুণসমূহের প্রকাশে অগ্রসর না হই, তবে শেষ বৃষ্টিতে পবিত্র আত্মার প্রকাশসমূহ আমরা চিনিতে পারিব না। ইহা আমাদের চারিদিকের হৃদয়সমূহের উপরে বর্ষিত হইতেও পারে, তথাপি আমরা তাহা অনুধাবন বা গ্রহণ করিব না।” Testimonies to Ministers, 506, 507.
Those who ate the message of 2001 were receiving a message appropriate for that period, but they were to be tested in order to manifest if they truly internalized the message into an experience prepared for the seal of God. In that period the latter rain is therefore represented as sprinkling, for the wheat and tares are still together. Therefore, Sister White says, “It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” When the wise are separated from the foolish, the latter rain is then poured out without measure, as it was at Pentecost, which typifies the Sunday law.
2001-gi yowotzonbwin wehang gi nooseb mku kungkùngmgbewom kun lok, bu yit mku miyë mo ki kat yit ken; titili, yit gi yitanshëën bwonsi mo ki kumba if mku kungkùngmgbewom titili mo kanda yit mku m’ezang ma m’boor mo ki beel e Nfuŋ Nzaŋ.

“Again, these parables teach that there is to be no probation after the judgment. When the work of the gospel is completed, there immediately follows the separation between the good and the evil, and the destiny of each class is forever fixed.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 123.
“Na kandi, iyi migani yigisha ko hatabaho igihe cy’igeragezwa nyuma y’urubanza. Iyo umurimo w’ubutumwa bwiza urangiye, ako kanya hakurikiraho gutandukanywa kw’abakiranutsi n’ababi, kandi iherezo rya buri tsinda rigahita rishyirwaho iteka ryose.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 123.
The period of the sprinkling of the latter rain, followed by a period when the latter rain is poured out without measure, are also illustrated as two periods where judgment is accomplished upon God’s people. The first period of judgment upon God’s people began with the house of God on September 11, 2001, and at the Sunday law judgment is then accomplished for God’s other flock who are responding to or rejecting the loud cry of the third angel that begins at the Sunday law in the United States, and ends when Michael stands up, and human probation closes.
Ndziwango xa ku khupuriwa ka mpfula ya le ndzhaku, lexi landzeriwaka hi nguva leyi mpfula ya le ndzhaku yi cheriwaka handle hi ku tala loku nga pimiwiki, na swona swi kombisiwa tanihi minkarhi mimbirhi leyi eka yona vuavanyisi byi hetisekisiwaka ehenhla ka vanhu va Xikwembu. Nguva yo sungula ya vuavanyisi ehenhla ka vanhu va Xikwembu yi sungule hi yindlu ya Xikwembu hi September 11, 2001, kutani hi nkarhi wa xileriso xa Sonto vuavanyisi byi tlhela byi hetisekisiwa eka ntlhambi wun’wana wa Xikwembu, lava va angulaka kumbe va alaka xirilo lexikulu xa ntsumi ya vunharhu lexi sungulaka hi nkarhi wa xileriso xa Sonto eUnited States, naswona xi hela loko Mikayele a yima, kutani nkarhi wa ku ringiwa ka vanhu wu pfala.
The two periods of the latter rain, which are also the two periods of the judgment which begins with the house of God, and then moves to God’s other flock, are also the two periods of the formation of the image of the beast.
Bingwa biili bya mvula ya mwisho, byo biepii bingwa biili bya hukumu eyaatandikila ku nyumba ya Mungu, kandi oluvanyuma neesenguka okuenda eri ekisibo ekindi kya Mungu, byo biepii bingwa biili bya kuumbwa kwa ekifaananyi ky’ensolo.
Within the first of those two prophetic periods, when judgment is brought upon God’s church and also the United States, is the very same history where the Republican horn and the Protestant horn are both judged. Right where Laodicean Adventism is spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, the United States fills its probationary cup, and national ruin is brought upon the nation, and Satan then appears and begins his marvelous work. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed and lifted up as an ensign at the Sunday law.
Mukati ya kipindi cha kwanza kati ya vile vipindi viwili vya kinabii, wakati hukumu inaliletewa kanisa la Mungu na pia Marekani, humo ndimo historia iyo hiyo ambamo pembe ya Republican na pembe ya Kiprotestanti vyote viwili vinahukumiwa. Hapo hapo ambapo Uadventista wa Laodikia hutapikwa kutoka katika kinywa cha Bwana, Marekani hujaza kikombe chake cha kipindi cha rehema, na uangamivu wa taifa huletwa juu ya taifa hilo, naye Shetani kisha hutokea na kuanza kazi yake ya ajabu. Wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu hutiwa muhuri na kuinuliwa kama bendera wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili.
We are informed that it is impossible to give any idea of “the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended.”
Tunaarifiwa kwamba haiwezekani kutoa wazo lolote la “uzoefu wa watu wa Mungu watakaokuwa hai juu ya dunia wakati utukufu wa mbinguni na kurudiwa kwa mateso ya nyakati zilizopita vitakapochangamana.”
“Satan is a diligent Bible student. He knows that his time is short, and he seeks at every point to counterwork the work of the Lord upon this earth. It is impossible to give any idea of the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended. They will walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. By means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth. And Satan, surrounded by evil angels, and claiming to be God, will work miracles of all kinds, to deceive, if possible, the very elect. God’s people will not find their safety in working miracles, for Satan will counterfeit the miracles that will be wrought. God’s tried and tested people will find their power in the sign spoken of in Exodus 31:12–18. They are to take their stand on the living word: ‘It is written.’ This is the only foundation upon which they can stand securely. Those who have broken their covenant with God will in that day be without God and without hope.” Testimonies, volume 9, 16.
"셋안은 부지런한 성경 연구자이다. 그는 자기의 때가 짧은 줄을 알고, 이 땅 위에서 주의 역사를 대적하여 모든 지점에서 방해하려고 힘쓴다. 하늘의 영광과 과거의 박해의 반복이 서로 뒤섞일 때, 그때 땅 위에 살아 있을 하나님의 백성이 겪게 될 경험이 어떠할는지에 대하여는 어떠한 개념도 충분히 제시할 수 없다. 그들은 하나님의 보좌로부터 발하는 빛 가운데서 걸을 것이다. 천사들을 통하여 하늘과 땅 사이에는 끊임없는 교통이 있을 것이다. 그리고 악한 천사들에게 둘러싸여 자기가 하나님이라고 주장하는 셋안은, 할 수만 있으면 바로 택하신 자들까지 속이기 위하여 온갖 종류의 기적들을 행할 것이다. 하나님의 백성은 기적을 행하는 일에서 자기들의 안전을 발견하지 못할 것인데, 이는 셋안이 행해질 기적들을 위조할 것이기 때문이다. 하나님의 시련을 거치고 검증된 백성은 출애굽기 31:12–18에 말씀된 표징에서 그들의 능력을 발견할 것이다. 그들은 살아 있는 말씀, 곧 ‘기록되었으되’ 위에 굳게 설 것이다. 이것만이 그들이 안전하게 설 수 있는 유일한 기초이다. 하나님과의 언약을 깨뜨린 자들은 그 날에 하나님도 없고 소망도 없게 될 것이다." 증언보감, 제9권, 16.
The repetition of the persecutions of the past begins at the Sunday law in the United States, for Satan begins his marvelous work at that time, and the wise virgins who have already been “tried and tested,” will then “walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God.” This will be accomplished through the work of angels, for “by means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth.”
پەیڕەوی کردنەوەی چەوساندنەوەکانی ڕابردوو لە یاسای یەکشەممە لە ویلایەتە یەکگرتووەکانی ئەمریکا دەست پێ دەکات، چونکە شەیتان لەو کاتەدا کاری سەرسوڕهێنەری خۆی دەست پێ دەکات، و پاکیزەکچانی ژیر کە پێشتر «تاقی کراونەتەوە و تاقیکراون»، ئەوسا «لە ڕووناکییەکەدا دەڕۆن کە لە تەختی خودا دەردەچێت.» ئەمەش بە هۆی کاری فریشتەکانەوە جێبەجێ دەبێت، چونکە «بە ڕێگەی فریشتەکانەوە پەیوەندییەکی بەردەوام لەنێوان ئاسمان و زەوی هەبێت.»
“The anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth, have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding his throne, the Lord keeps up a constant communication with the inhabitants of the earth. The golden oil represents the grace with which God keeps the lamps of believers supplied, that they shall not flicker and go out. Were it not that this holy oil is poured from heaven in the messages of God’s Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entire control over men.
«Avaka vasīpulwa kwima ku lubaju lwa Mwāna-bukalenge wa ntanda yonse, bali na kifulo kyapelwa kale kuli Satana nga kerubi wa kufunika. Ku bintu byajila biziingulukile kipuna kyakwe, Mwāna-bukalenge alama lwitabilo lwa lyonse na bena-kikye ba pa ntanda. Mafuta a golide alumbulula ngolujo lumo Mulungu akwata nalwo amatala a bitabilo akulwisa, kuti nga taakakunkuluka ne kuzimika. Singa te kuti aya mafuta ajila asululwa kufuma mu dyulu mu mbila ya Mupashi wa Mulungu, maka a bubi nga yakwete bukomo bonse pa bantu.»
“God is dishonored when we do not receive the communications which he sends us. Thus we refuse the golden oil which he would pour into our souls to be communicated to those in darkness. When the call shall come, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ those who have not received the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace of Christ in their hearts, will find, like the foolish virgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord. They have not, in themselves, the power to obtain the oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if God’s Holy Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses, ‘Show me thy glory,’ the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the golden oil will be communicated to us. ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.’ By receiving the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, God’s children shine as lights in the world.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.
“Mungu hufedheheshwa tusipopokea mawasiliano yale anayotupelekea. Hivyo tunakataa mafuta ya dhahabu ambayo angeyamimina ndani ya nafsi zetu ili yapitishwe kwa wale walio gizani. Wito utakapokuja, ‘Tazama, bwana-arusi yuaja; tokeni nje ili kumlaki,’ wale ambao hawajapokea mafuta matakatifu, ambao hawajaitunza neema ya Kristo mioyoni mwao, watagundua, kama wale wanawali wapumbavu, kwamba hawako tayari kukutana na Bwana wao. Ndani yao wenyewe hawana uwezo wa kupata mafuta yale, na maisha yao huharibika. Lakini ikiwa Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu ataombwa, ikiwa tutasihi, kama Musa alivyofanya, ‘Unionyeshe utukufu wako,’ upendo wa Mungu utamiminwa mioyoni mwetu. Kupitia katika mabomba ya dhahabu, mafuta ya dhahabu yatafikishwa kwetu. ‘Si kwa uwezo, wala si kwa nguvu, bali ni kwa Roho yangu, asema Bwana wa majeshi.’ Kwa kuzipokea miale angavu za Jua la Haki, watoto wa Mungu hung’aa kama taa ulimwenguni.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.
The wise are those who are sealed in Revelation chapter seven and Ezekiel chapter nine, and who are contrasted with the foolish who dishonor the Lord, by refusing “the communications he sends.” The foolish are those “who have broken their covenant with God who will in that day be without God and without hope.” Those two classes were tested and brought to a point where they manifested their character based upon whether they accepted or rejected the message of the hour. The message of the hour since September 11, 2001 has been the message of the latter rain.
Ab’obwenge ni bo abo abateebwako akabonero mu Kubikkulirwa essuula ey’omusanvu ne mu Ezeekyeri essuula ey’omwenda, era abagerageranyizibwa n’abasirusiru abanyooma Mukama, nga bagaana “obubaka bw’atumya.” Abasirusiru be abo “abamenye endagaano yaabwe ne Katonda era ku lunaku olwo baliba nga tebalina Katonda era nga tebalina ssuubi.” Ebika ebyo byombi byakemebwa ne bireetebwa mu mbeera eyalabikisa empisa yaabyo, ng’esinziira ku kuba oba baakkiriza oba baagaana obubaka obw’essaawa eyo. Obubaka obw’essaawa okuva nga September 11, 2001 butadde nga bwe bubaka bw’enkuba ey’oluvannyuma.
The message of the latter rain is recognized by the methodology of line upon line as set forth in Isaiah chapter twenty-eight. The methodology of line upon line is God’s appointed method of biblical study, and therefore to reject that methodology is not only to reject the message represented through the application of line upon line, from here a little and there a little, it is also to reject the Giver of the methodology.
Muongo wa mvua ya mwisho unatambuliwa kwa mbinu ya mstari juu ya mstari kama ilivyowekwa katika Isaya sura ya ishirini na nane. Mbinu ya mstari juu ya mstari ndiyo njia iliyowekwa na Mungu ya kujifunza Biblia, na kwa hiyo kuikataa mbinu hiyo si tu kuukataa muongo unaowakilishwa kupitia matumizi ya mstari juu ya mstari, hapa kidogo na pale kidogo, bali pia ni kumkataa Mtoaji wa mbinu hiyo.
Because of the inspired parameters revealed in the testing process that leads to the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, it is apparent that the only way a child of God can navigate through the history where “celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended,” is to be in an experience where the light from the throne of God can be recognized. It must be recognized, or it is useless, and we are lost.
Nemi hena ndambi zinazipwiwa na Mupensi mu njira ya kuyezgapo iyo yikulongozga ku kubikika chidindo cha ŵanthu sauzande zana na makumi ghanayi na ŵanayi, kukuwoneka pakweru kuti nthowa yimoza pera iyo mwana wa Chiuta wangenderamo mu mbiri umo “uchindami wa kuchanya na kuwerezgeka kwa kuzikizgika kwa nyengo zakale vyasazgikana,” nkhuŵa mu chakuchitika umo ungweru wakufuma ku mpando wa ufumu wa Chiuta ungamanya kumanyikwa. Ukwenera kumanyikwa; panji yayi, ulije ntchito, ndipo ise tatayika.
“We must not wait for the latter rain. It is coming upon all who will recognize and appropriate the dew and showers of grace that fall upon us. When we gather up the fragments of light, when we appreciate the sure mercies of God, who loves to have us trust Him, then every promise will be fulfilled. [Isaiah 61:11 quoted.] The whole earth is to be filled with the glory of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
“موږ باید د وروستي باران لپاره انتظار ونه باسو. هغه پر ټولو هغو راځي چې هغه شبنم او د فیض بارانونه چې پر موږ اوري، وپېژني او خپل یې کړي. کله چې موږ د رڼا ټوټې راټولوو، کله چې موږ د خدای هغه یقيني رحمتونه قدر کوو، هغه خدای چې خوښوي موږ پر هغه باور ولرو، نو هره وعده به پوره شي. [اشعیا 61:11 اقتباس شوی.] ټوله ځمکه باید د خدای له جلاله ډکه شي.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
In the period that began when the angel of Revelation eighteen fills the whole earth with His glory, beginning on September 11, 2001, the latter rain has only come “upon” those “who” have “recognized and appropriated the dew and showers of grace that” is “falling upon us.” The “great mistake” identified earlier by Sister White, was when the foolish virgins thought they could wait until the latter rain was poured out without measure, for then they thought they could catch up. Not so, only those who are growing in their understanding of God’s prophetic Word receive more light.

As we conclude this article, the point I wish to identify is in connection with the purpose of the testing time we are now in. If we are to “walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God” in the time when the persecutions of the past are repeated, we will need to master the prophetic Word in advance of the crisis.
A kuhusho vya kumalizia makala hii, jambo nipendalo kubainisha linahusiana na kusudi la wakati wa kujaribiwa tuliomo sasa. Ikiwa tutatembea “katika nuru itokayo katika kiti cha enzi cha Mungu” katika wakati ambao mateso ya zamani yanarudiwa, itatupasa kulijua vema Neno la unabii kabla ya kule kufika kwa wakati wa taabu.
In chapter one, Daniel and the three worthies had already perfected their education before they went in to be tested by Nebuchadnezzar. For forty days Christ opened the prophetic Word to the understanding of the disciples in advance of the ten days where the disciples perfected their unity. Then came Pentecost, which typifies the Sunday law.
Mu mwanda wa kwanza, Danieli na mabwana watatu walikuwa tayari wamekamilisha elimu yao kabla hawajaingia kupimwa na Nebukadneza. Kwa siku arobaini Kristo alifungua Neno la kinabii kwa ufahamu wa wanafunzi mapema kabla ya zile siku kumi ambamo wanafunzi walikamilisha umoja wao. Kisha ikaja Pentekoste, ambayo ni kielelezo cha sheria ya Jumapili.
In Daniel chapter three, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego informed Nebuchadnezzar they needed no extra time, for they were already settled as to what they were to do in the Sunday law testing time. Their faithfulness was magnified when they walked in the furnace with Christ, and the message they had already settled into before the test was carried to all the then-known world by all the visiting dignitaries that witnessed the miracle in the furnace.
Kapitolo ya tatu ya Danieli, Shadraka, Meshaki na Abednego baimwene Nebukadneza kwamba kabengidi ntango ya kubakila, pakuba badi kale bakosema munda pa ibyo bibengidi kubakora mu ntango ya kuyesibwa kwa mobeko ya Sande. Bukishinka bwabo bwakomeshiwe pa gihe baendile mu cikuto ca mulilo na Kristo, ne mbila iyo babadi kale bakosemile munda lintu kuyesibwa takukafike, yakwejibwe ku nsi yonse yaiyukanyibwe kiriya gihe ku nzila ya batungulushi bonse babayileko ne kumona cishima ico mu cikuto ca mulilo.
We will continue these thoughts in the next article.
Tukabilikanya mivwilo eyi mu kyandiko kya kulondapo.
