As we bring the consideration of the various controversies which have occurred in Advent history together line upon line in order to conclude our understanding of the current issue, we have taken selected attributes of five prophetic lines. The first line is also the last line, for both controversies were directly based upon verse fourteen of Daniel eleven’s “robbers of thy people.” We considered the controversies of Uriah Smith and James White and the controversy of “the daily”, in the book of Daniel. We considered the controversy that occurred after the unsealing of the last six verses of Daniel eleven in 1989, concerning the king of the north. We then considered the four insects of the book of Joel. There is so much more that might be added to each of these lines, but we are simply isolating certain characteristics that contributed to the positions that rejected the truths connected with the subject of Rome.

Ji bo ku em têgihiştina xwe ya li ser mijara niha bi dawî bikin, me di dîroka Adventê de her dujberiyên cûrbicûr ku pêk hatine de, rêz li ser rêz, berhev kirine. Ji pênc xetên pêxemberî me taybetmendiyên hilbijartî standine. Xeta yekem di heman demê de xeta dawî ye, çimkî her du dujberî rasterast li ser ayeta çardeh a Daniel onzdeh, ya “dizên gelê te,” ava bûbûn. Me di pirtûka Daniel de dujberiyên Uriah Smith û James White û dujberiya “ya rojane” nirxand. Me herwiha dujberiya ku piştî vekirina mohrên şeş ayetên dawî yên Daniel onzdeh di sala 1989-an de derket, li ser padîşahê bakur, nirxand. Paşê me çar kêlecanên pirtûka Joel nirxand. Gelek tiştên din hene ku dikarin li her yek ji van xetan bêne zêdekirin, lê em tenê hin taybetmendiyan ji hev cuda dikin, yên ku beşdarî wan helwestan bûne ku rastiyên girêdayî bi mijara Romayê re red kirin.

Five histories, but the first also being the last represents six lines. The prophetic setting for these lines of controversy is the last days, so for this reason the lines are to be applied during the test of the image of the beast.

Kûrok pênc in, lê ya yekem jî ku ya dawî ye, şeş xet nîşan dide. Cîhê pêxemberî yê van xetên nîqaşê rojên dawî ye; ji ber vê yekê, divê ev xet di dema ceribandina sûretê heywan de werin sepandin.

“The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. . ..

“Rab min bi eşkerî nîşan da ku wêneyê heywanê berî ku dema îmtîhanê biqede dê were avakirin; çimkî ew ji bo gelê Xwedê dê bibe ceribandina mezin, ya ku bi wê kadera wan a ebedî dê were biryardan....”

“This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

“Echi eyo esuura abantu ba Ruhanga bashemereire kugira batakahamibwa.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

The test of the formation of the image of the beast is, as with the other six lines of controversy a test concerning the prophetic subject of Rome. The great test that occurs before God’s people are sealed is about the formation of the image of the Roman beast. The beast is the papal power, and the United States forms an image of the papal power as it progresses to the soon-coming Sunday law.

Omupe wa kutunga ekifaananyi ky’ensolo, nga bwe kiri ku mirongo emirala omukaaga egy’empaka, mukebera ogukwata ku mutwe ogw’obunnabbi ogwa Rooma. Omupe omukulu ogujjaawo nga abantu ba Katonda tebannateekebwako akabonero, gukwata ku kutunga ekifaananyi ky’ensolo ya Rooma. Ensolo ye buyinza bwa Pawulo, era Amerika ekola ekifaananyi kya buyinza bwa Pawulo nga yeeyongera okusembera eri etteeka lya Ssande erigenda okujja amangu.

“In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.” The Great Controversy, 443.

“Ku Amerika ikuye kwubaka ishusho y’inyamaswa, ububasha bw’idini bugomba kugenzura cyane ubutegetsi bwa leta ku buryo n’ububasha bwa leta buzakoreshwa n’itorero kugira ngo risohoze imigambi yaryo.” The Great Controversy, 443.

That Sunday law in the United States identifies that the image of the beast has been fully formed in the United States.

Mu Amerika, itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigaragaza ko ishusho y’inyamaswa yamaze kuremwa byuzuye muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika.

“But in the very act of enforcing a religious duty by secular power, the churches would themselves form an image to the beast; hence the enforcement of Sundaykeeping in the United States would be an enforcement of the worship of the beast and his image.” The Great Controversy, 449.

“Lelo eka xiendlo xexo xo sindzisa ntirho wa vukhongeri hi matimba ya misava, tikereke tona hi toxe a ti ta tumbuluxa xifaniso xa xivandzana; hikwalaho, ku sindzisiwa ka ku hlayisa Sonto eUnited States a ku ta va ku sindzisiwa ka ku gandzela xivandzana ni xifaniso xa xona.” The Great Controversy, 449.

At the Sunday law, the image of the beast has been fully formed in the United States, and the United States is then fully disconnected from God and it begins its prophetic work of forcing the entire world to form an image of the beast. At the Sunday law in the United States, Satan begins his marvelous work in leading the nations of the world to repeat the process of forming an image of the beast that encompasses all the nations of the world.

Ku wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili, sanamu ya mnyama itakuwa imeundwa kikamilifu katika Marekani, na ndipo Marekani itakatishwa kabisa na Mungu, nayo itaanza kazi yake ya kinabii ya kuilazimisha dunia yote kuunda sanamu ya mnyama. Ku wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili katika Marekani, Shetani huanza kazi yake ya ajabu katika kuziongoza mataifa ya ulimwengu kurudia mchakato wa kuunda sanamu ya mnyama inayoyajumuisha mataifa yote ya ulimwengu.

“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.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

“Ku nshinguro ishyiraho ubupapa mu kunyuranya n’amategeko y’Imana, igihugu cyacu kizitandukanya burundu no gukiranuka. Igihe Uprotesitanti azarambura ukuboko kwe hakurya y’icyuho kugira ngo afate ukuboko kw’ubutegetsi bw’i Roma, igihe azarenzaho hejuru y’ikuzimu kugira ngo ahane ibiganza n’Abadayimoni, igihe, bitewe n’ingaruka z’uyu mubumbe w’ubumwe butatu, igihugu cyacu kizihakana ihame ryose ry’Itegeko Nshinga ryacyo nk’ubutegetsi bw’Abaporotesitanti n’ubw’Abarepubulikani, kandi kigashyiraho uburyo bwo gukwirakwiza ibinyoma n’ibishukisho bya gipapa, ni bwo tuzamenya yuko igihe kigeze cy’imikorere itangaje ya Satani kandi ko imperuka yegereje.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

At the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, Satan, in cooperation with the United States, will force every nation to follow the example of the United States in forming a church and state system, and enforcing Sunday worship.

Mu gihe gito kiri imbere, igihe itegeko ry’Icyumweru rizashyirwaho muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika, Satani, afatanyije na Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika, azahatira buri gihugu cyose gukurikiza urugero rwa Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika mu gushyiraho gahunda ihuza itorero na leta, no guhatira abantu kuramya ku Cyumweru.

“Satan will work the miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.

“Satana akakora ebyamagero okubeya abo abatuula ku nsi. Emizimu erikukwatwaho neekora omulimo gwayo ng’ereetera abafu okwesiimibwa ng’abakyali balamu. Ebibiina eby’eddiini ebyanga okuwuliriza obubaka bwa Katonda obw’okulabula biriba wansi w’obubeyi obw’amaanyi, era biryegatta n’obuyinza obw’eby’obwannakyewa okuyigganya abatukuvu. Amakanisa g’Abapolotesitante galyegatta n’obuyinza bwa paapa mu kuyigganya abantu ba Katonda abakwata amateeka. Buno bwe buyinza obukola entegeka ennene ey’okuyigganya, eririna obufuzi obw’omwoyo obw’ekikambwe ku mizizo gy’abantu.

“‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.

“‘Aza na mayembe maadi ke kaana muti, na kaamba bu mutwe wa nyoka.’ Ata ne basambaka bo bo bakayukuta kuti bantu ba Kulondelela Mwana wa Mpata wa Nzambi, bantu bakazalafulwa ne mpeve ya nyoka. Basambaka kuti bo bato ba bululami ne ba didikilu, kanshi bakamba ne kupanga mikenji mu mpeve ya Satana, kulangisa ku nzila ya bisalu byabo kuti bo ba kinyume ne ibyo basambaka kuti bo biyo. Awu bukole bwa kufwana ne mwana wa mpata bukasangana ne nyoka mu kupanga mvita ku badi balama mikenji ya Nzambi ne badi ne bujitu bwa Yesu Kristo. Ne Satana mpe ukasangana ne ba-Protestanti ne bapapiste, ukutenda pamo ne bo bu nzambi wa ino nsi, ukulomba bantu bu kwamba bo bantu ba bufumu bwandi, bo ba kufumbulwa ne kuyobolwa ne kulamulwa bu mutima wandi usaka.

“If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘He causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘He had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

“အကယ်၍ လူတို့သည် ဘုရားသခင်၏ ပညတ်တော်များကို ခြေဖျက်နင်းချေရန် သဘောမတူကြလျှင်၊ နဂါး၏ဝိညာဉ်သည် ထင်ရှားပေါ်လွင်လာ၏။ သူတို့သည် အကျဉ်းချခံရကြ၏၊ ကောင်စီများ၏ရှေ့သို့ ခေါ်ဆောင်ခံရကြ၏၊ ဒဏ်ငွေချမှတ်ခံရကြ၏။ ‘ထိုသတ္တဝါသည် အငယ်ဖြစ်သောသူနှင့် အကြီးဖြစ်သောသူ၊ ချမ်းသာသောသူနှင့် ဆင်းရဲသောသူ၊ လွတ်လပ်သောသူနှင့် ကျွန်ဖြစ်သောသူ အားလုံးကို မိမိတို့၏ လက်ယာလက်ပေါ်၌ဖြစ်စေ၊ နဖူးပေါ်၌ဖြစ်စေ အမှတ်တံဆိပ်ကို ခံယူစေ၏’ [ဗျာဒိတ် 13:16]။ ‘ထိုသတ္တဝါ၏ ရုပ်တုအား အသက်ပေးနိုင်သော အာဏာကိုလည်း သူ့အား ပေးအပ်ခဲ့၏၊ သို့ဖြစ်၍ ထိုသတ္တဝါ၏ ရုပ်တုသည် စကားပြောနိုင်မည်ဖြစ်ပြီး၊ ထိုသတ္တဝါ၏ ရုပ်တုကို မကိုးကွယ်သောသူ မည်သူမဆို သတ်ခြင်းခံရစေမည်’ [အခန်းငယ် 15]။ ထိုနည်းတူ စာတန်သည် ယေဟောဝါ၏ အခွင့်အာဏာတော်များကို လုယူသိမ်းပိုက်လေ၏။ အပြစ်၏လူသည် ဘုရားသခင်၏ ပလ္လင်နေရာ၌ ထိုင်လျက်၊ မိမိကိုယ်ကို ဘုရားသခင်ဖြစ်သည်ဟု ကြေညာကာ၊ ဘုရားသခင်ထက် မြင့်မားသကဲ့သို့ ပြုမူလေ၏။” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

The papal power is the beast, the United Nations is the dragon and the United States is the false prophet. Those who become confused on the meaning of antichrist, who is both Satan and Satan’s earthly representative, the pope of Rome, will end up on the side of antichrist.

nguuvu ya upapa ni mnyama, Umoja wa Mataifa ni joka, na Marekani ni nabii wa uongo. Wale wanaochanganyikiwa kuhusu maana ya mpinga-Kristo, ambaye ni Shetani mwenyewe na pia mwakilishi wa Shetani duniani, papa wa Roma, wataishia kuwa upande wa mpinga-Kristo.

The United States is not the man of sin. The man of sin is the antichrist and he is Satan’s earthly representative. To confuse the power that places the papacy on the throne of the earth with the papacy is represented by Paul as evidence of not loving the truth. To reject the prophetic relationship of pagan Rome who restrained the papal power, until pagan Rome was removed, in order for the papal power to be revealed, as set forth in 2 Thessalonians chapter two, is to reject the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and accept the outpouring of the unholy spirit, which Paul identifies as strong delusion. That being said, each of the ancient prophets spoke more directly of the last days than the days in which they lived.

Amerika i Mbumba Zisanganwe si mutu wa disumu ko. Mutu wa disumu ni antiklisto, mpe yandi kele muvwangunini ya ntoto ya Satana. Kuvwisa mpasi na kuswasikisa ngolo yina tulaka bopapa na kiti ya kimfumu ya ntoto ti bopapa yawu mosi, Polo ke monisa yo bonso kidimbu ya kuzola ve kieleka. Kubuya kuwidikila nsinga ya kisakumunu ya Loma ya bapakano, yina kangaka ngolo ya bopapa tii ntangu Loma ya bapakano katulwaka, sambu ngolo ya bopapa monanaka, mutindu yo me tulama na 2 Batesalonika kapu ya zole, kele kubuya kusopanama ya Mpeve-Santu mpe kundima kusopanama ya mpeve ya mvindu ve, yina Polo ke bokila luvunu ya ngolo. Na kutuba mpidina, mosi na mosi ya baprofete ya ntama tubaka na buryo ya kusungama mingi sambu na bilumbu ya nsuka kuluta bilumbu yina bo zingaka.

“Each of the ancient prophets spoke less for their own time than for ours, so that their prophesying is in force for us. ‘Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ 1 Corinthians 10:11. ‘Not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.’ 1 Peter 1:12. . . .

“Vahanu va kale va kale va khale va vulavule ngopfu ku nga ri swinene hikwalaho ka nkarhi wa vona ntsena, kambe ngopfu hikwalaho ka nkarhi wa hina, leswaku vuprofeta bya vona byi tirha eka hina. ‘Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ 1 Corinthians 10:11. ‘Not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.’ 1 Peter 1:12....”

“The Bible has accumulated and bound up together its treasures for this last generation. All the great events and solemn transactions of Old Testament history have been, and are, repeating themselves in the church in these last days.” Selected Messages, book 3, 338, 339.

“Baibuli ekunganyizza era ne kisiba awamu eby’obugagga byakyo olw’omulembe guno ogusembayo. Ebyaliwo byonna ebikulu n’emirimu gyonna egy’ensonga ennywevu mu byafaayo bya Endagaano Enkadde byabaddewo, era biri, nga byeddamu mu kkanisa mu nnaku zino ez’oluvannyuma.” Selected Messages, ekitabo 3, 338, 339.

Pagan Rome and the man of sin in 2 Thessalonians represents the United States and papal Rome of the last days. To misunderstand this truth is to demonstrate, among other things, that even if a person claims to be basing their private interpretation upon the principle of “type and antitype,” they actually do not understand “type and antitype.” The United States has been typified by several powers in sacred history. Every two-horned power represents the United States in the last days, whether it be the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel, the Medo-Persian Empire, or atheistic France represented by Sodom and Egypt.

Roma ya kipagani na mtu wa dhambi katika 2 Wathesalonike vinawakilisha Marekani na Roma ya upapa ya siku za mwisho. Kutolielewa vibaya jambo hili ni kudhihirisha, miongoni mwa mambo mengine, kwamba hata kama mtu anadai kuwa anaegemeza tafsiri yake binafsi juu ya kanuni ya “mfano na utimilifu wake,” kwa hakika haelewi “mfano na utimilifu wake.” Marekani imeonyeshwa kwa mifano na mamlaka kadhaa katika historia takatifu. Kila mamlaka yenye pembe mbili huiwakilisha Marekani katika siku za mwisho, iwe ni falme za kaskazini na kusini za Israeli, Dola ya Umedi na Uajemi, au Ufaransa isiyoamini kuwa kuna Mungu iliyowakilishwa na Sodoma na Misri.

The period when the United States forms an image of and to the beast has been typified by the iron and clay of Daniel two, and the little horn that manifests as male and female in Daniel eight as well as the prophets of Baal and priests of the grove in the witness of Elijah at Mount Carmel. Salome typifies the United States in the witness of Herod’s drunken birthday party. Pergamos typifies the United States and identifies the compromise that leads to Thyatira, which typifies the papal power of the last days.

ကူ၌ ကျွန်ုပ် မပြန်ဆိုနိုင်ပါ၊ အကြောင်းမှာ “ku” သည် မည်သည့်ဘာသာစကားကို ရည်ညွှန်းသည်ကို မသေချာသောကြောင့် ဖြစ်သည်။ “ku” သည် ကာဒစ်ရှ် (Kurdish—Kurmanji/Sorani) ကို ဆိုလိုသလား၊ သို့မဟုတ် အခြားဘာသာစကားတစ်ခုကို ဆိုလိုပါသလား။ ပြန်ဆိုလိုသည့် “ku” ဘာသာစကားအမျိုးအစားကို သတ်မှတ်ပေးပါ။

Clovis, king of the Franks in 496, typifies the United States in the Ronald Reagan era. Justinian in 533 represents Donald Trump in advance of the Sunday law. In each typification the United States represents the power that bows in submission to the papal power of the last days. The power who bows in submission is represented as paying homage to Rome. The act of ‘homage” includes bowing to the king, who is the head.

496-ൽ ഫ്രാങ്കുകളുടെ രാജാവായ ക്ലോവിസ്, റോണൾഡ് റീഗൻ കാലഘട്ടത്തിലെ യുണൈറ്റഡ് സ്റ്റേറ്റ്സിനെ പ്രതിരൂപീകരിക്കുന്നു. 533-ൽ ജസ്റ്റിനിയാൻ, ഞായർനിയമത്തിന് മുമ്പിലുള്ള ഡൊണാൾഡ് ട്രംപിനെ പ്രതിനിധീകരിക്കുന്നു. ഓരോ പ്രതിരൂപണത്തിലും യുണൈറ്റഡ് സ്റ്റേറ്റ്സ് അന്ത്യദിനങ്ങളിലെ പാപ്പാസ്വാധീനശക്തിക്കു കീഴടങ്ങി വണങ്ങുന്ന ശക്തിയെ പ്രതിനിധീകരിക്കുന്നു. കീഴടങ്ങി വണങ്ങുന്ന ആ ശക്തി റോമിന് ആദരം അർപ്പിക്കുന്നവളായി പ്രതിനിധീകരിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു. ‘ആദരം’ അർപ്പിക്കുന്ന പ്രവൃത്തി, തലവനായ രാജാവിന്റെ മുമ്പിൽ നമിക്കുന്നതിനെ ഉൾക്കൊള്ളുന്നു.

"It has been shown that the United States is the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns, and that this prophecy will be fulfilled when the United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy. But in this homage to the papacy the United States will not be alone. The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her dominion is still far from being destroyed. And prophecy foretells a restoration of her power. ‘I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.’ Verse 3. The infliction of the deadly wound points to the downfall of the papacy in 1798.

Kuonyeshibwe ko Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika ari yo mbaraga ishushanywa n’inyamaswa ifite amahembe nk’ay’umwana w’intama, kandi ko ubu buhanuzi buzasohozwa igihe Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika izahatira iyubahirizwa ry’umunsi wa Ku Cyumweru, uwo Roma ivuga ko ari ikimenyetso cyihariye cyo kwemera ubutegetsi bwayo bw’ikirenga. Ariko muri uku guha icyubahiro ubupapa, Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika ntizizaba ziri zonyine. Ingaruka za Roma mu bihugu byigeze kwemera ubutegetsi bwayo ziracyari kure cyane no kurandurwa. Kandi ubuhanuzi buvuga mbere y’igihe ko imbaraga zayo zizasubizwaho. “Mbona umwe mu mitwe yayo umeze nk’uwakomeretse kugeza ku rupfu; maze igikomere cyayo cyica kirakira: isi yose itangarira iyo nyamaswa.” Umurongo wa 3. Gukomeretswa kw’igikomere cyica kwerekana ugutsindwa kw’ubupapa mu mwaka wa 1798.

"After this, says the prophet, ‘his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.’ Paul states plainly that the ‘man of sin’ will continue until the second advent. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8. To the very close of time he will carry forward the work of deception. And the revelator declares, also referring to the papacy: ‘All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life.’ Revelation 13:8. In both the Old and the New World, the papacy will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution, that rests solely upon the authority of the Roman Church." The Great Controversy, 578.

「この後、」と預言者は言う、「その致命的な傷はいやされ、全世界はその獣に驚嘆して従った。」パウロは、「罪の人」が再臨の時まで存続することを明言している。2 Thessalonians 2:3-8. 時のまさに終わりに至るまで、彼は欺瞞の働きを推し進めるのである。そして黙示録記者も、また教皇制を指して、次のように宣言している。「地に住む者で、いのちの書にその名をしるされていない者はみな、彼を拝むであろう。」Revelation 13:8. 旧世界においても新世界においても、教皇制は、ただローマ教会の権威の上にのみ立つ日曜日制度に払われる尊崇において、敬意を受けるのである。」『各時代の大争闘』578頁。

The last sentence provides more evidence that Sister White understood the expression, “old world” to represent Europe, and the “new world” to represent the Americas. That being as it is, the United States pays homage to the papal power and forces the rest of the world to do the same. This identifies the United States as in subjection to the directions of the papal power. Isaiah’s identification and emphasis upon understanding the “head” in order to be established finds its divine purpose in that the symbol “head,” becomes a key to understand the external line of prophecy, and also the internal line of prophecy.

Mutwe gwa nyuma gutanga ibimenyetso birushaho ko Mushiki wa White yasobanukiwe imvugo ngo “isi ya kera” isobanura Uburayi, kandi “isi nshya” isobanura Amerika. Bityo rero, Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika zubaha ubutware bwa papa kandi zigahatira isi isigaye yose kubigenza bityo. Ibyo biranga Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika nk’iri mu kugengwa n’amabwiriza y’ubutware bwa papa. Kugaragaza kwa Yesaya no gushimangira kwe ko “umutwe” ugomba gusobanuka kugira ngo umuntu akomezwe, bibona umugambi wabyo w’ijuru muri uko ikimenyetso “umutwe” gihinduka urufunguzo rwo gusobanukirwa umurongo wo hanze w’ubuhanuzi, ndetse n’umurongo wo imbere w’ubuhanuzi.

For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.

Nokuti omutwe gwa Busuuli ye Ddamasiko, n’omutwe gwa Ddamasiko ye Lezini; era mu myaka nkaaga mu etaano Efulayimu alimenyebwamenyebwa, aleme okuba abantu. Era omutwe gwa Efulayimu ye Samaliya, n’omutwe gwa Samaliya ye mutabani wa Lemaliya. Oba nga temukkiriza, mazima ddala temulinywezebwa. Isaaya 7:8, 9.

In the last days, which is when every prophet’s testimony is in force, the “robbers of thy people” establish the vision. Upon the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy, and in agreement with the foundational truths of Adventism, as represented upon the two sacred charts of Habakkuk, the “robbers,” are a symbol of Rome. When pagan Rome inserted itself into history for the first time in 200 BC, they typified modern Rome of the last days. This prophetic truth is what establishes the prophetic vision of the last days, and if you refuse to see that modern Rome’s “head” is the papal power, then surely you will not be established.

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

“Dünya fırtına, savaş ve çekişmeyle doludur. Yine de tek bir başın altında—papalık kudreti altında—halk, Tanrı’nın tanıkları şahsında O’na karşı durmak üzere birleşecektir.” Tanıklıklar, cilt 7, 182.

If you have ears to hear, then you may understand that a primary failing of the Jews of Christ’s era was that they identified the “shadow” as the “substance.” The Jews before and after the cross trusted in the types of their system of worship, and rejected the Antitype. They argued that the “shadow” was the “substance”, and in doing so they left in the inspired record, a people in the last days who will also identify the shadow as the substance.

যদি তোমাদের শোনার কান থাকে, তবে তোমরা বুঝিতে পার যে খ্রিষ্টের যুগের ইহুদিদের এক প্রধান ব্যর্থতা এই ছিল যে, তারা “ছায়া”-কেই “সারবস্তু” বলিয়া চিহ্নিত করিয়াছিল। ক্রুশের পূর্বে ও পরে ইহুদিরা তাহাদের উপাসনা-ব্যবস্থার প্রতিরূপসমূহের উপরে নির্ভর করিয়াছিল, এবং প্রতিরূপের পরিপূর্ণ বাস্তবতা অর্থাৎ Antitype-কে প্রত্যাখ্যান করিয়াছিল। তারা যুক্তি করিয়াছিল যে “ছায়া”-ই “সারবস্তু”; এবং এইরূপ করিয়া তাহারা অনুপ্রাণিত বিবরণে শেষ কালের এমন এক জনগোষ্ঠীকে রেখে গিয়াছে, যাহারা ছায়াকেই সারবস্তু বলিয়া চিহ্নিত করিবে।

When the United States forms an image to the beast, they are forming a shadow of the beast. They are forming a shadow of the substance, for an image is a typification. To identify the United States, when it forms the image of the beast, as the symbol of Modern Rome, is to parallel ancient Israel’s rejection and crucifixion of the Great Antitype.

Manga Misri ya Amerika etekisanga ekeko ya nyama, bazali kotonga elili ya nyama yango. Bazali kotonga elili ya eloko ya solo, mpo ete ekeko ezali elembo ya eloko oyo esakolamaki liboso. Koyeba Misri ya Amerika, ntango etekisaka ekeko ya nyama, lokola elembo ya Loma ya Mikolo oyo, ezali kokokana na koboya mpe kobakama na ekulusu ya Antitype Monene na Yisraele ya kala.

Those teaching the flawed view that the United States is the robbers of thy people speak much about their use of type and antitype, and they often identify the United States as the image of the beast and somehow think that by identifying the United States as the image of the beast somehow proves the United States is “the robbers.” If they truly allowed themselves to be governed by the basic principles of “type and antitype” they would quickly see that the prophetic role of the United States which has been repeatedly typified in God’s Word identifies the United States as the power that is in subjection to the papal authority. They would see that without the beast as the point of reference, it is absurd to identify an image to the beast that did not exist. The only thing which can define the image of the beast, is the beast itself, for the papal power is what establishes the image in the looking glass vision.

Ava, mati nzedi kana i Uniti States i bilon ol stilman bilong pipol bilong yu, ol i save toktok planti long wok bilong ol long yusim “type na antitype,” na planti taim ol i makim i Uniti States olsem imis bilong dispela binatang, na long sampela rot ol i ting olsem, taim ol i makim i Uniti States olsem imis bilong dispela binatang, dispela tasol i pruvim olsem i Uniti States em “ol stilman.” Sapos tru ol i larim ol yet long stap aninit long ol nambawan stamba lo bilong “type na antitype,” kwiktaim bai ol i luksave olsem profetik wok bilong i Uniti States, em dispela wok we planti taim pinis ol i bin makim long ol piksa bilong en insait long Tok bilong God, i soim klia i Uniti States olsem dispela pawa we i stap daun long wok bos bilong popa.

The parallel line of prophecy to the United States forming an image of the beast is when the horn of true Protestantism forms an image of Christ. That formation is specifically identified in Daniel chapter ten, when Daniel beholds the “marah,” vision, which is the “looking glass” vision. Daniel represents those who behold Christ, and in so doing they reflect Christ’s character. If the vision of Christ was not presented to Daniel, he would have been unable to reflect the character of Christ. In order for the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are represented by Daniel in chapter ten of forming an image of Christ within, they must behold His character. By beholding they are changed.

यूएसएले पशुको प्रतिरूप गठन गर्ने भविष्यवाणीको समानान्तर रेखा त्यो हो, जब साँचो प्रोटेस्टेन्टवादको सिङ्गले ख्रीष्टको प्रतिरूप गठन गर्छ। त्यो गठन विशेष रूपमा दानियल अध्याय दसमा पहिचान गरिएको छ, जहाँ दानियलले “marah,” दर्शन, देख्छन्, जुन “looking glass” दर्शन हो। दानियलले तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छन् जसले ख्रीष्टलाई निहार्छन्, र यसरी तिनीहरूले ख्रीष्टको चरित्र प्रतिबिम्बित गर्छन्। यदि ख्रीष्टको दर्शन दानियलसमक्ष प्रस्तुत गरिएको नभएको भए, उनी ख्रीष्टको चरित्र प्रतिबिम्बित गर्न असमर्थ हुनेथिए। एक सय चवालीस हजार, जसलाई अध्याय दसमा दानियलद्वारा आफ्नै भित्र ख्रीष्टको प्रतिरूप गठन गर्नेहरूको रूपमा प्रतिनिधित्व गरिएको छ, तिनीहरूले उहाँको चरित्र निहार्नैपर्छ। निहार्दै जाँदा तिनीहरू परिवर्तन गरिन्छन्।

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18.

Lelo bethe sonkhe, ngebuso lobungembeswanga, sibuka njengasesibukweni inkhatimulo yeNkhosi, siyaguculwa sibe ngulowo mfanekiso lofanako, sisuka enkhatimulweni siya kulenkhatimulo, njengobe kwentiwa nguMoya weNkhosi. 2 Khorinte 3:18.

The Hebrew definition of the “marah” vision which Daniel beheld in chapter ten is “a vision; also (causatively) a mirror: —looking glass, vision.” The Greek word translated as glass in the previous verse is to mirror oneself, that is, to see reflected (figuratively): —behold as in a glass.

“marah” 비전에 대한 히브리어 정의는, 다니엘이 10장에서 본 바와 같이, “환상; 또한 (사역형으로) 거울: —보는 거울, 환상”이다. 앞 절에서 유리로 번역된 헬라어는 자기 자신을 거울에 비추어 보다, 곧 반사되어 보게 되다(비유적으로)는 뜻이다: —거울로 보는 것 같이 보다.

James also sets forth a line of truth connected with the looking glass.

Yakobo kandi ashyira ahagaragara umurongo w’ukuri ufitanye isano n’indorerwamo.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 1:23–25.

Тэгвэл үгийн сонсогч атлаа үйлдэгч бус хэн боловч тольд өөрийн төрөлхийн нүүр царайг харж буй хүнтэй адил юм. Учир нь тэр өөрийгөө хараад явмагцаа ямар хүн байснаа даруй мартдаг. Харин эрх чөлөөний төгс хуулийг анхааран харж, түүндээ бат үлдэгч нь мартагч сонсогч бус, харин үйлсийг үйлдэгч тул ийм хүн өөрийн үйл хэрэгт ерөөгдөх болно. Иаков 1:23–25.

If we love the truth, and we are therefore a doer of the Word, then the looking glass we behold is the perfect law of liberty, then if we do not love the truth, and thereafter go our own way, as those with Daniel did when they fled, then the looking glass is simply a reflection of ourselves.

“God’s law is the mirror presenting a complete reflection of the man as he is, and holding up before him the correct likeness. Some will turn away and forget this picture, while others will employ abusive epithets against the law, as though this would cure their defects of character. Still others who are condemned by the law will repent of their transgressions and, through faith in Christ’s merits, will perfect Christian character.” Faith and Works, 31.

“Sheria ya Mungu ni kioo kinachoonyesha taswira kamili ya mtu jinsi alivyo, na kuweka mbele yake mfano ulio sahihi. Wengine watageuka na kuisahau picha hii, ilhali wengine watatumia maneno ya matusi dhidi ya sheria, kana kwamba jambo hili lingetibu kasoro zao za tabia. Wengine tena ambao wanahukumiwa na sheria watatubu dhambi zao na, kwa njia ya imani katika stahili za Kristo, wataikamilisha tabia ya Kikristo.” Faith and Works, 31.

Daniel did not see himself in the looking glass vision, He saw Christ, who is the perfect representation of James’ perfect law of liberty.

Danyeli ndeeonanga weene mu dimoni dya kutala; waamwene Kilisto, oyo uli kifwanyino kyapwililika kya mikenji ya busungidi yapwililika ya Yakobo.

“Christ’s life on earth is a perfect reflection of the divine law. In Him is life and hope and light. Behold Him, and you will be changed into the same likeness, from character to character.” Signs of the Times, May 10, 1910.

“Jiyana Mesîh li ser erdê weşaneke temam a yasaya Îlahî ye. Di Wî de jiyan û hêvî û ronahî heye. Li Wî binêrin, û hûn ê veguherin bo heman sûretê, ji xasiyetê bo xasiyetê.” Signs of the Times, 10ê Gulanê, 1910.

The image of the beast reflects the beast, and the formation of the image of the beast is the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. When the Protestant churches take control of the government of the United States, they will have formed an image of the church state system which the papal power has always employed. In the same period of time the image of Christ will be produced in His last-day people. Yet, those that were with Daniel saw not the vision, for they fled from the vision.

Sanamu ya mnyama humwakisi mnyama, na kuundwa kwa sanamu ya mnyama ndilo jaribu kuu kwa watu wa Mungu, ambalo kwa hilo hatima yao ya milele itaamuliwa. Makanisa ya Kiprotestanti yatakapoitawala serikali ya Marekani, yatakuwa yameunda sanamu ya mfumo wa muungano wa kanisa na dola ambao mamlaka ya upapa imeutumia daima. Katika kipindi hicho hicho cha wakati, sura ya Kristo itatokezwa katika watu Wake wa siku za mwisho. Hata hivyo, wale waliokuwa pamoja na Danieli hawakuiona maono hayo, kwa maana waliikimbia maono hayo.

The formation of the image of Christ produces a manifestation of two classes of worshippers. One class rejects the principle of reflection. The principle of reflection being represented by a mirror, for Christ employs the literal earthly things to represent spiritual heavenly truths.

Ukubunjwa komfanekiso kaKristu kuveza ukubonakaliswa kwezigaba ezimbili zabakhulekeli. Esinye isigaba siyasilahla isimiso sokubonakalisa. Isimiso sokubonakalisa simelwe yisibuko, ngokuba uKristu usebenzisa izinto ezingokoqobo zasemhlabeni ukumela amaqiniso omoya asezulwini.

“In Christ’s parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ’s teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.

“Ku di ta kang Kristo long parabole pasin bilong em, dispela wankain stiatapol i luksave olsem long misin bilong Em yet i go long graun. Bilong yumi inap kam save long pasin na laip bilong Em i bilong God, Kristo i kisim natura bilong yumi na i stap namel long yumi. Pasin bilong God i kamap ples klia insait long pasin bilong man; glori i no inap lukim i bin kamap ples klia long ai long kain bodi bilong man. Ol manmeri inap kisim save long samting i no bin save long en long rot bilong samting ol i save pinis long en; ol samting bilong heven i bin kamap ples klia long rot bilong ol samting bilong graun; God i bin kamap ples klia long piksa bilong ol man. Olsem tasol long skul bilong Kristo: samting i no bin save long en i bin kisim klia tok piksa long rot bilong samting i save pinis; ol tok tru bilong God long rot bilong ol samting bilong graun we ol manmeri i bin save gut moa long en.”

“The Scripture says, ‘All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; … that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.’ Matthew 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 17.

“Ubusimbuzi buvuga buti: ‘Yesu yabwiye rubanda ibyo bintu byose mu migani; … kugira ngo byuzuzwe ibyavuzwe n’umuhanuzi ati: Nzabumbura akanwa kanjye mu migani; nzavuga ibintu byabitswe mu ibanga kuva urufatiro rw’isi rwaremwa.’ Matayo 13:34, 35. Ibintu by’irema byabaye uburyo bwo kugeza ku by’umwuka; ibintu byo mu kamere n’ibyabaye mu mibereho y’abamwumvaga byahujwe n’ukuri kw’Ijambo ryanditswe. Bityo, abayobora ava ku by’irema akajya ku bwami bw’umwuka, imigani ya Kristo ni amahuza mu munyururu w’ukuri uhuza umuntu n’Imana, n’isi n’ijuru.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 17.

The spiritual principle of reflection is accomplished by looking into a mirror that represents Christ, and because the “marah” vision is a causative vision, the image of Christ in the mirror, produces the image of Christ in humanity.

အတွင်းဝိညာဉ်ရေးရာ ရောင်ပြန်သဘောတရားသည် ခရစ်တော်ကို ကိုယ်စားပြုသော မှန်တစ်ချပ်အတွင်းသို့ ကြည့်ရှုခြင်းအားဖြင့် ပြည့်စုံစေခြင်းခံရသည်။ ထို့ပြင် “marah” ရူပါရုံသည် ဖြစ်ပေါ်စေသော ရူပါရုံဖြစ်သဖြင့်၊ မှန်အတွင်းရှိ ခရစ်တော်၏ ပုံသဏ္ဍာန်သည် လူသားအတွင်းရှိ ခရစ်တော်၏ ပုံသဏ္ဍာန်ကို ဖြစ်ပေါ်စေသည်။

To claim the United States is what establishes the vision, is to claim that the image of Daniel is what establishes Christ. Christ is what establishes the vision of His character and work, and the antichrist is what establishes the vision of his character and work. The vision is what is reflected with the looking glass, and the vision is established by the robbers. To misunderstand an image of a beast, by identifying the image as the actual beast, produces parallel lines.

Kuhakikishia kwamba Marekani ndiyo inayoithibitisha njozi, ni sawa na kudai kwamba sanamu ya Danieli ndiyo inayomthibitisha Kristo. Kristo ndiye anayethibitisha njozi ya tabia na kazi Yake, na mpinga-kristo ndiye anayethibitisha njozi ya tabia na kazi yake. Njozi ndiyo inayoakisiwa kwa kioo, na njozi hiyo inathibitishwa na wanyang’anyi. Kutoelewa mfano wa mnyama, kwa kuutambulisha mfano huo kuwa ndiye mnyama mwenyewe, huzalisha mistari sambamba.

The unconverted man sees himself in the mirror, or if he does see God’s law, he throws contempt upon the law in an attempt to avoid its claims. A converted man sees Christ and His law in the looking glass. The United States forms an image to the papal power by beholding the papal power and duplicating it. The antichrist is duplicated by the United States.

Omundu atannakyusibwa yeeraba mu ndabirwamu, oba bw’alaba amateeka ga Katonda, aganyooma ng’agezaako okwewala bye gamwetaagisa. Omuntu akyusiddwa alaba Kristo n’amateeka Ge mu ndabirwamu. Amerika ekola ekifaananyi eri obuyinza obw’obwapapa olw’okutunuulira obuyinza obw’obwapapa n’okubukoppolamu. Omulabe wa Kristo akoppololwa Amerika.

Lucifer desired to be seated upon God’s political and religious thrones.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Ezekiel 14:12–14.

Ezekieli 14:12–14.

Satan is the antichrist, and so too is the papal power. The papal power was seated in the church and reigned over the political thrones of Europe. The causative looking glass of Daniel chapter ten, when seen in its spiritual application, transforms those who behold into the image of Christ. That truth governs the line of the antichrist. When a nation or an individual looks into the looking glass vision it produces a causative effect, as it reproduces its image in either the individual or nation who beholds it and that produces either the image of Christ or the image of the beast. It parallels the same effect represented by Daniel. Christ is what established the vision for Daniel, and the antichrist establishes the vision for the United States when it forms an image of the beast.

Shetani ndiye mpinga-Kristo, na vivyo hivyo mamlaka ya upapa. Mamlaka ya upapa iliketi ndani ya kanisa na kutawala juu ya viti vya enzi vya kisiasa vya Ulaya. Kioo cha kusababisha cha Danieli sura ya kumi, kinapoonekana katika matumizi yake ya kiroho, huwageuza wale wanaokitazama wapate kufananishwa na mfano wa Kristo. Ukweli huo unatawala mstari wa mpinga-Kristo. Taifa au mtu mmoja mmoja anapotazama katika ono la kioo, huzalisha athari ya kusababisha, kwa kuwa huzaa upya mfano wake ndani ya ama mtu huyo ama taifa hilo linalolitazama; na jambo hilo huzalisha ama mfano wa Kristo ama mfano wa mnyama. Hilo linalingana na athari ile ile inayowakilishwa na Danieli. Kristo ndiye aliyeweka msingi wa ono kwa Danieli, na mpinga-Kristo huweka msingi wa ono kwa ajili ya Marekani inapoifanya sanamu ya mnyama.
