There are ‘thirteen’ references to dates in the book of Ezekiel; six address Jerusalem, six address Egypt and one Tyre. All the references are set within the context of rebellion, which the number ‘thirteen’ symbolizes. The year after Ezekiel’s wife died from a stroke, marking the beginning of the third siege, Ezekiel was commanded to speak against Egypt, identifying that it would be desolate for forty years.
Iye tye ka dok tye ka caku “apwoyo wiye adek ki acel” ma dok ki ngec pa nino i buk pa Ezekiel; abicel meki tye ka lube ki Yerusalem, abicel meki tye ka lube ki Misiri, ka acel tye ki Turo. Lok me ngec magi weng otwero keto i kine me kwero, ma namba “apwoyo wiye adek ki acel” tye ka nyuto. I mwaka ma olubo pieny pa dak pa Ezekiel ma oto pi tuu pa cwercwiny, ma omako cako pa tero me adek, Ezekiel otyeko ciko me loko marac i kwede Misiri, ka nyuto ni bino bedo piny ma obale pi imyaka marac angwen.
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. Yet thus saith the Lord God; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered: And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. Ezekiel 29:12–14.
An abicako piny me Ejipiti bedo gungu i dyere me gweng ma gitye gungu, kacel kibugegi i kin bug ma gitye obalo, gibed gungu pi mwaka artam; kadi dong an camo jo Ejipiti i kin lwak, ka an tiyo gikwanyo i gweng magi. Ento i yoo man Aya Rwot Katonda; Ka agiki i agiki me mwaka artam, an bicoko jo Ejipiti ki i kin lwak ma gicamogikanyo iye: Kadi an bidwogo poj me Ejipiti, ka an biterogi dok cen i piny me Pathros, i piny me dakgi; ka gibedo kanyo ker ma omwony. Ezekiel 29:12–14.
The siege began in 588 BC, and a year later in 587 BC Ezekiel was commanded to speak. In verse ‘seventeen’, 571 BC identifies that Egypt will be given to Babylon for services rendered. Bible chronologists suggest 567 BC unto 527 BC as the forty-year period identified in the verses, and from the initial message of judgment proclaimed in 587 BC until verse seventeen’s pronouncement in 571 BC that the Lord had given Egypt into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, we find a ‘seventeen-year’ period.
Kob me lweny ocako i mwaka 588 BC, dok mwaka acel i ngeye, i 587 BC, Ezekiel onongo kiciko me loko. I nyiri “abiriyo ki abiriyo”, mwaka 571 BC onyuto ni Egipito bibedo me cobo ni Babilon pi tic ma kityeko ni piye. Jomoko ma gwenyo kare pa Baibulo twero ni 567 BC oo i 527 BC en kare me mwaka pyer adek ma kinyuto i nyiri magi, dok ki lwongo me kwena ma kicako kwede i 587 BC wa i nyiri abiriyo ki abiriyo me loko ni i 571 BC Rubanga ocwalo Egipito i cing Nebukadneza, watyeko nongo kare me “mwaka abiriyo ki abiriyo”.
Nebuchadnezzar’s army fought a long, difficult campaign against Tyre (the siege lasted about 13 years, roughly 586–573 BC). The soldiers worked extremely hard (every head was made bald and every shoulder rubbed bare from carrying loads), yet they received no significant wages or spoil from Tyre itself. Because of this unprofitable labor, God determined to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar as compensation (“wages”) for the work his army did against Tyre.
Lutino pa Nebukadinezara olwongo olatye lacedo matek i kom Tiro (okwongo pa tyen obedo myero romo mwaka 13, okene 586–573 BC). Luger otyeko tic matek adada (wiye duto odoko lyel, ki batgi duto opwodho ka pe odok piny pi cwalo bito), ento pe gubino nongo lacam mo adek onyo gwok mo adek ki i Tiro kene.

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Luke 10:7.
Kadi i bedi i ot acel, ka ucamo ki umato gin ma gitye kumiwu; pien tic pa jatic opore ki mipiro pare. Pe uaa i ot acel dok ua i ot mukene. Luka 10:7.
Nebuchadnezzar therefore took Tyre first and after the thirteen-year siege he was given Egypt. Before he took Tyre, he took Jerusalem in 586 BC, then he accomplished a siege of thirteen years against Tyre, and thereafter Egypt. Jerusalem was taken in 586 BC, and the siege of Tyre began 586 BC and went unto 573 BC. The number thirteen is associated with the United States.
Nebukadinezara ci omio Turo me acel, ci i nge cing-cwo me mwaka apar wiye adek, omiyogi piny Misiri. Ka pe pud omio Turo, omio Yerusalemu i mwaka 586 BC, ci dong otum cing-cwo me myaka apar wiye adek i kom Turo, ci i nge meno Misiri. Yerusalemu ki omio i mwaka 586 BC, ci cing-cwo pa Turo ocako i mwaka 586 BC dok oo i mwaka 573 BC. Namba apar wiye adek ki twero kwanyo kacel ki United States.
Sister White informs us that Jerusalem in the book of Ezekiel represents the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the north represents the papal power in the latter days. In the historical illustration of chapter twenty-nine, the latter-day robbers of thy people representing papal Rome, conquers three entities in the chapter. First he takes Jerusalem, then Tyre and finally Egypt.
Mino White tito wa ni Yerusalemu i buk pa Ezekiel kare nyuto kanisa pa Seventh-day Adventist me Laodikea, dok Nebukadinezar, kabaka me north, nyuto teko pa bapope i nino me agiki.

Judgment begins at the house of God and the horn of Protestantism in the United States is first conquered in advance of the Sunday law. The horn of apostate Protestantism in the United States includes the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church that represents the “former” covenant people who are passed by as was ancient Israel in the year 34 and the Protestants in 1844. The passing by of those former covenant people of God in 34 and 1844 are both represented in the prophetic history of the twenty-three-hundred-year prophecy of Daniel 8:14. Judgment begins with the house of God and the horn of Protestantism is judged in advance of the horn of Republicanism.
Oketo cako i ot pa Lubanga, ka tungu pa Protestantism i United States dong oloyo kwon lacen mapwod pe obedo tye ka cik me Ca Nino Acel obino. Tungu pa Protestantism ma olokke ki dog cen i United States tye ka kelo Kanisa pa Seventh-day Adventist me Laodicea, ma ribe ka lut me cikke “mukwongo” ma kelo ka pe iketo tic kwedgi calo ki jo Israel me kare macon i mwaka 34 kacel ki jo Protestant i 1844.

Oketo cako ki ot pa Lubanga, ka tungu pa Protestantism dong iketo ikom ngolo mapwod pe iromo tungu pa Republicanism.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17.
Pien kare oo cente ni ngol bikwanyo acakki i ot pa Katonda; ka bene ocakke me wa, agiki ma gitye ka pe ginywalo me Wang Aceng pa Katonda bino bedo nining? 1 Petero 4:17.
The first mention of the judgment of Egypt is located in the first verse of chapter twenty-nine, and the last date mentioned in connection with Egypt by Ezekiel is in verse ‘seventeen’ of the same chapter. The chapter identifies modern Rome first overcoming the horn of Protestantism and then Tyre, which represents the horn of Republicanism that is overcome at the soon-coming Sunday law. When Tyre (the United States) is conquered by Nebuchadnezzar at the Sunday law, Egypt is also given into his hands. At that point the deadly wound of papacy is healed. Not only is the papacy’s deadly wound then healed, but Ezekiel informs us this happens during the period of the latter rain.
Lok ma cok kwede ikare me ngol kop pa Ejipt tye i lok me acel i kabedo me tuk tamongwen ki abicel, dok nino me agiki ma Ejekiel ocako tito ka kwede Ejipt tye i lok me apar ki abiriyo i kabedo acel.

In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 29:21.
I yoo an acalo, abiro miyo rog me gang Israel otim, kadi dong abiro miyo ni ye me yamo dog i kin jo-gi; ci gin bibedo ni ongene ni An Atye Mukama. Ezekiel 29:21.
Jacob and Israel
Yakobo ki Israyeli
Isaiah identifies that Israel buds out, blossoms and fills the whole earth with fruit. It is rain that brings about the three steps of budding, blossoming and fruit bearing, and according to Isaiah, the latter rain arrives when the “rough wind” is stayed. He further identifies that during the period of budding, blossoming and fruit-bearing the sins of Jacob are to be purged, and the Hebrew word translated as “purged” is atoned for.
Isaiah nyutu ni Israel okulo, pio bungu, ci otwiyo lobo ducu ki nyig yat. En koth ma kelo hatua adek mag okulo, pio bungu, ki nywalo nyig yat, ci calo Isaiah waco, koth me agiki bino ka “yamo ma tek” ojuko. En dok nyutu ni i kare me okulo, pio bungu, ki nywalo nyig yat, bal pa Yakobo myero gikwanyo; ci lok me Ibru ma kigonyo ni “gikwanyo” te lokke ni giwoko pi bal.
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Isaiah 27:8, 9.
I kare, ka en okelo anyim, ibed boko kwede; en ogeng'yo yamo mege marac i nino pa yamo ma aa ki lobo me ceng. Pi man dong tim marac pa Yakobo biro kwanyo; kede man aye nyig adwong' weng me kwanyo balre: ka en timo kitek weng me otero macalo kitek me chok ma ogolo piny piny, lugo me yen kacel ki cal bala pe gibiro chung'. Isaia 27:8, 9.
When the four winds (his rough wind) of strife are restrained, the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand begins, and the wise and wicked of Adventism are ultimately separated, and all of this is accomplished in the “day of the east wind.” The sealing time began with a sprinkling at 9/11 and it ends with a full outpouring at the Sunday law when the earth is then filled with fruit. The sealing time is a progressive purification and purging in agreement with Malachi three. But in the seventeen-year period represented by the beginning and ending dates of Ezekiel twenty-nine, the conquering of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy as represented by Jerusalem, a symbol of the horn of Protestantism—the church and Tyre, a symbol of the horn or Republicanism—the state. Just after the end of the thirteen year siege of Tyre the conquering of the seventh kingdom of ten kings represented by Egypt takes place. The three conquering’s of Jerusalem, Tyre and Egypt occurs when “the horn of the house of Israel” buds forth, and is given an opening of the mouth.
Ka yamo angwen (yamo matek mege me lweny) kigengo, cako me kany me alama pa lukwong acel mia acel, pyera angwen ki angwen cako, dok luwangec ki lomego i Adventism kigolyo ki kigwayo woko i agikki; dok magi ducu pe twero bedo keken, gin kicobo i “nino pa yamo me aa ka ceng.” Cawa me kany me alama ocako ki konyo matin i 9/11, dok otumu ki olwoko maleng ducu i kare pa cik me Ca Ber, ka piny ka meno opong ki nyig yat. Cawa me kany me alama en pwony me ngol marac ki pyerowiny ma odongo ticte ticte ka rwatte ki Malaki adek. Ento i kare me myaka apar wiye abiryo ma kikonyo ki nino me cako ki me tum me Ezekiel abiryo wiye abongwen, kuny me lo dogola me acelene ma abicel me profesi pa Baibul ma kiketo calo Jerusalem, cal me tung me Protestantism—kanisa, ki Tyre, cal me tung onyo Republicanism—pa leta.

Kuny mogo adek pa Jerusalem, Tyre, ki Egypt otimme ka “tung pa odi pa Israel” cako peyo, dok kikelo ne tyen me dyero dog.
Both the priest Ezekiel and the priest Zacharias dumbness end at the Sunday law, when the United States and Balaam’s ass both speak. The Lord gives the house of Israel the “opening of the mouth” at the Sunday law. Jacob sins have then been purged and his name is changed to the house of Israel. The message they proclaim is represented by the third witness of prophetic dumbness represented by Daniel, who is then given the message of Daniel chapter eleven, which is also the vision of Habakkuk that then ‘speaks and does not lie.’ Ezekiel, Zacharias and Daniel align with the proclamation of the loud cry of the third angel, as does Jeremiah in chapter fifteen where he is promised to be God’s mouth if he would rebound from the first disappointment.
Lakica Ezekieli kacel ki lakica Zakaria, cinggi me tic-kwir gi giko i cawa me cik me Sunday, ka Merika me United States ki dok ol atikara Balaam gin weng loco. I cawa me cik me Sunday, Rubanga miyo ot pa Israel “yabo me dog.” I kare meno, bal pa Yakobo dong gucengceng; ci nyinge loko dok bedo ot pa Israel. Kwena ma gitye ka tito, kikonyo gi caden me adek me cing me kwir pa lunebi, ma gin kelo cali Daniela, ma i kare meno gimiye kwena me Daniel capter apar ki acel, ma bene obedo visiɔn pa Habakkuk ma ci “loco ci pe goba.” Ezekieli, Zakaria ki Daniela rwatte kacel ki tito me koko ducu pa malaika me adek, calo bene Yeremia i capter apar ki abic, ka kigamo kwede ni obed dog pa Rubanga ka pe dok odok cen ki i can me per me acel.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. Jeremiah 15:18, 19.
Ango afera na ryeko pe kelo tum, ci kanyo na pe twero cango, ma kwero cango? Ibimedo bedo bota calo laco lyelo, kacel ki pi ma kato woko? Pi meno, Yehova waco buti man: Ka idok, ci abidwoko ni doki, kede ibino cung i wangna; ka iyer me marac ki me nengo, ci ibibedo calo doga: wek gin dok boti; ento pe idok botgi. Jeremiah 15:18, 19
Jesus illustrates the end with the beginning and at 9/11 the sprinkling brought forth buds and the plant of Jacob began to grow, and ultimately when the iniquity of Jacob is purged, the house of Israel will speak. The budding out at 9/11 that was accomplished by the rain is typifying a budding out at the end of the sealing time, when the “horn” of the house of Israel buds out, right where the horns of apostate Protestantism and Republicanism are overcome by Nebuchadnezzar.
Yesu nyutu agiki me agiki gicako kwede; ka 9/11, kot me lwok twero okwelo cako piny, kacel ki yat pa Yakobo cako medde; ka gityeko pwonyo kwic me Yakobo, gangi pa Israel bino owaco. Cako piny ma obedo ka 9/11, ma kot otimo, tye ka keto calo cako piny ma obedo i agiki me kare me cing, ka “tungu” pa gangi pa Israel cako piny, i kabedo ma tungu me Protestantism ma okwongo ki Republicanism gicung piny ki Nebukadnezzar.
At that point the distinction between the false horn of Protestantism is contrasted with the true horn of Protestantism as typified by Aaron’s rod that budded in distinction to the other rods of the tribes of Israel. The two dates in chapter twenty-nine of Ezekiel identify the history of the lifting up of the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand at the soon-coming Sunday law.
I kare dok, pwonye ma tye i kin “tung” marac pa Protestantism pe twero romo ki “tung” adier pa Protestantism, calo kinyuto kwede i luwalo pa Aaron ma opoto kwo, i pwonye ki luwalo mukene pa dogola pa Israel. Nino aryo ma tye i Ezekiel acel piero abicel wiye ki abicel wiye adek (29) nyutu itic me tarih mar kelo malo cala me cing pa acel mia adek abicel wiye ki angwen (144,000) i kare me cik pa Sunday ma cok bino.
The process of the budding, blooming and filling the earth with fruit began at the sprinkling of the latter rain on 9/11, just as the Pentecostal season began with Christ breathing a few drops upon His disciples that led to Pentecost when the full outpouring took place. The budding of 9/11 at the beginning of the purging of Jacob (the supplanter), which is the sealing time typified the budding of the house of Israel (the overcomer) at the Sunday law. The budding at the end is marking a distinction between the former covenant people and the one hundred and forty-four thousand, just as the outpouring of fire on Mount Carmel made a distinction between the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The distinction is represented by a class who are prophetically ashamed for a counterfeit peace and safety message, and the other class are prophetically joyful, and they will never be ashamed.
Tic ma pwony me tye ka opwod, ka ochwiny, ka opong piny ki anyim otye ka acako i kare me ngolo kot me agiki i 9/11, calo nino me Pentekoste bene ocako ki Kristo ka oyweko mooke manok iwiye luticce, ma omiyo dogola nywal Pentekoste ka ngolo maleng ducu otimme.

The Six Dates of Egypt
Nino Mukene pa Egypt
Ezekiel identifies four other dates associated with Egypt, and two of those dates mark the eleventh year, and the other two dates mark the twelve year of the captivity.
Ezekiel nyuto nino angwen mukene ma atye kakube ki Egypt, ci nino aryo i kin gi nyutu mwaka me apar ki acel, dok nino aryo mukene nyutu mwaka me apar ki aryo me piny otino.
The Siege of the Eleventh Year
Lokero me Cwakka me Apar wiye acel ki acel
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. Ezekiel 30:20, 21.
Ci obedo i mwaka me apar wiye acel, i dwe me acel, i nino me abiro me dwe, ni lok pa Rubanga bino bot an ka waco ni, In, Wod dano, aciko cing pa Farao kabaka me Misiri; ka nen, pe gibitweyo me cur onego, pe gibiketo piny me tweyo me tweyo, me miyo obed tek me mako pala. Ezekiel 30:20, 21.
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? Ezekiel 31:1, 2.
Atye obedo i mwaka me apar ki acel, i dwe me adek, i nino me acel me dwe, lok pa Rwot obino botna ka owaco ni, In cwin dano, lok bot Farao kabaka me Misiri, ki i bot dhok pa lulupere duto; In i diti mamega, isanana ki ngat ani? Ezekiel 31:1, 2.
In the eleventh year of the captivity, Egypt and Pharaoh’s arms are broken, and Babylon’s arms are strengthened in chapter thirty. In the eleventh year in chapter thirty-one the fall of Egypt and its impact upon the world is identified.
I mwaka apar wiye me twero i bwo, i potbuk acel piero adek, kwoŋo pa Ejipta ki me Farao tye ka otyek; ento kwoŋo pa Babilonia kikome. I mwaka apar wiye me twero i bwo i potbuk acel piero adek ki acel, poto pa Ejipta ki neno me jo i wilobo kene pe ikelo iye, cako ka kinyuto.
The Twelfth Year & Jerusalem’s Fall
Mwaki apari ki Cwiny pa Jerusalem
The two dates in the twelfth year are located in Ezekiel thirty-two.
Nino abic i mwaka me apar wiye aryo tye i Ezekiel adek ki aryo.
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net. Ezekiel 32:1–3.
Atye obedo i mwaka apar wiye aryo, i dwe apar wiye aryo, i nino me acel pa dwe, ni lok pa Mukama obino boti, ka lokoni ni, In latin dano, ting il lament pa Farao kabaka pa Misiri, kendo iwacci bot ni, In itwero calo labongo matidi pa rok ducu, kendo in calo ryang madit i nam; pien iwuoto ki poto mamegi, ikelo can i pii ki tye mamegi, kendo ijako poto magi. Mano aye Mukama Rubanga waco; Pi meno abino yaro nyaba na i komi ki gurupu pa jo mapol; kendo gibino kwanyo ci i nyaba na. Ezekiel 32:1–3.
It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. Ezekiel 32:17, 18.
Ci obedo boti bene i mwaka me apar wiye aryo, i nino me apar ki abic me dwe, ni lok pa Mukama bino botica ni, In latin dano, ywak pi dul pa Misiri, kacwal gi piny, en bene, ki nyare pa rok ma ngene, i kabedo me piny ma tutwal, kacel ki jo ma lor i dog bur. Ezekiel 32:17, 18.
Pharaoh and His Multitude
Farao ki Dulane Dano Munte Madiit
In chapter thirty-one’s pronouncement upon Egypt, the final verses state:
I yo me wiye adek acel ki acel me goba cing i kom Misiri, yoo me agiki owaco ni:
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. Ezekiel 31:16–18.
An atyo balobo me piny weng oyeng atir i dwon poto pire, ka acwako en piny i gehena kacel ki jo ma cito piny i bur; dok yadi weng me Eden, ma gi yero dok gi mabeco loyo i Lebanon, weng ma mato pi, ibedo ka gi cweyo tam i kabedo me piny ma piny tutwal. Gin bene odok piny i gehena kacel kwede bot jo ma oto ki pala; dok gin ma bene obedo kucne, ma odak i bwo cieni i dye lwak me lwak ma pe nyuto Ngat ma Nyen. Iromo calo ngat ani i kit me ducu i lacen ki i dit pa i kin yadi me Eden? Ento ibi kelo i piny kacel ki yadi me Eden i kabedo me piny ma piny tutwal: ibi nino i kin jo ma pe gityeko ngado, kacel ki jo ma oto ki pala. Mano en Farao ki lwakne weng, waco Mukama Katonda. Ezekiel 31:16–18.
In chapter thirty-two’s pronouncement upon Egypt, the final verses repeats and enlarges upon chapter thirty-one and it includes a parallel ending statement.
I leb me adek abicel aryo ma lok goba lok i kom Misiri, nukuta me agiki dok tye ka dwoko ci ka miyo bed madit i kom me adek acel, kadi bene tye ki lok me agiki ma tye ka rwate kacel.
For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. Ezekiel 32:32.
Pien abedo acako gro marac i ngom me jonyo; dok en biro keto iye i dye me jo ma pe gin gudo, kacel ki joma oto ki ligangla, en kene Farawo ki dwan joone weng, kuti Obanga Mukama. Ezekiel 32:32.
The Seventeen years of Chapter Twenty-nine
Myaka apar wiye abicel ki abiryo me Dul me Aryo ki Abicel ki Cekel Apar
The dates located in the seventeen-year period represented in chapter twenty-nine identify Nebuchadnezzar conquering Egypt, and a forty-year period of desolation of Egypt. Forty represents a wilderness, typifying the thousand years that the earth is desolate.
Nino manonge ma tye i kine me mwaka apar wiye abicel ma kikelo i cura me abicel ki acel me abicel anywola nyuto ni Nebukadinezara oloyo Ejipta, kede nino me mwaka artam me kweda pa Ejipta. Namba artam okelo tim me timore i tim me tim me tim me ataa, ma tye cal me miaka alufu acel ka piny obedo kweda.
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. Jeremiah 4:23–27.
Aneno piny, kadi bedi ne pe tye ki kit onyo kit pa cwec; dok polo bene, ne pe gibedo ki terang. Aneno got, kadi bedi ne giyugayuga, dok dyek ducu ne gicokcok mot. Aneno, kadi bedi, ne pe tye dano mo, dok winyo ducu me polo ne gicwer woko. Aneno, kadi bedi, kabedo ma ne tye ki anyim ne odoko tim, dok taon ducu ma iye ne gubale peke i wang Obanga, ki i lwor me iye ma tek. Pien kwonyni Obanga owaco, “Piny ducu bicak; ento pe abimedo kwone ducu.” Jeremiah 4:23–27.
At the end of Ezekiel twenty-nine’s forty years of the desolation of Egypt, the final resurrection of the wicked and their ultimate destruction is set forth.
I agiki me mwaka pyer adek gi angwen me ka Ejipito obedo i lyel, ma tye i Ezekiel 29, cako me agiki me kwot cen duto me jo marac ki abalgi me agiki kikelo anyim.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. Isaiah 24:17–22.
Lworo, ki dog ot, ki otego bene tye i komi, in ma idak i lobo. Ci bino bedo ni, ngat ma polo ka aa ki i dwon lworo obino turo i dog ot; dok ngat ma aa ki i dyer dog ot obino makke i otego: pien dirica ma aa i polo wang acel oyabore, ki gude me lobo oyeko cung tutwal.

The message of Ezekiel that is brought together by the six dates associated with Egypt is identifying the earthly dragon powers ultimate destruction, which begins at the soon-coming Sunday law and continues on through to the final destruction of the wicked Egyptians at the end of the millennium.
Kwena pa Ezekiel ma kibino tic awobe ki nino abicel ma twero ki Ejipte, tye ka nyutu ba obale me dragon me lobo ni gibedo ki abal me agiki me kwanyo kwo, ma cako ki cik pa Ceng pa Nino Sabiti ma cok bino, dok mede ka tuu i kwanyo me agiki pa Jo Ejipte marac i tum me myaka alufu acel.
In the prophetic testimony the beast and the false prophet reach their end at the lake of fire, which represents the Second Coming of Christ, but the dragon power’s lake of fire destruction is at the end of the millennium.
I wang tic pa lanen, lee obedo kacel ki lanen marara gityeko i nam me mac, ma kelo kit me Dwoko pa Cristo me aryo, ento balam me teko pa okec pieng gi tyekke i nam me mac i agiki pa mwaka alufu acel.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Revelation 19:20, 21.
Ka rwot alwor obinyo, kacel kwede lanebi maribbe ma otimo cing-miracel i wangne, kede gin ma okwanyo kwede jo ma ogamo anywal mar rwot alwor, kacel ki jo ma olamo calone. Dul aryo man ocwalo gi ka pud gin ma iwang kede i nam mac pa mac ma yak i akol. Kacel ki jo ma odong dong, ginekto gi pala pa en ma obedo i kom horse, pala ma oa ki i doge: kacel ki winyo ducu opong gi ringre. Niyabo 19:20, 21.
The beast and false prophet end prophetically at the second return of Christ, but the dragon meets his fate one thousand years later at the third return of Christ.
Lubanga marac ki lakwena ma goba tyen caliceno gucito me kwene pa kwena i kare me ducu me aryo pa Kricito, ento naigwan okwanyo gire ma tye me obedo wi mwaka alufu acel nyuma, i kare me ducu me adek pa Kricito.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20:1–3.
Kacel aneno malaika acel ka otye ka lor ka aa ki i polo, cako lwor me ot marac ma pe ki fundo, kacel ki tol madu i cingne.

Niyabo 20:1–3.
The Eleventh and Twelfth Years
Mwaki Apar Acel ki Apar Ariyo Abicel
The ‘seventeen’ year period set forth in Ezekiel twenty-nine’s two dates began in the tenth year of the captivity and ended in the twenty-seventh year. The messages of chapter thirty and thirty-one were set forth in the eleventh year, and the two dates set forth in chapter thirty-two were given in the twelfth year of the captivity. The seventeen-year period that began the tenth year, roughly at the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem, was followed by the two Egyptian messages of the eleventh year set forth in chapters thirty and thirty-one. Together the two messages of the eleventh year represent a message just prior to the Sunday law. The other two Egyptian messages of the twelfth year occurred at or shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem in 586/585 BC.
Kare me mwaka “abiriyabo apar” ma kiwaco i kany Ezekiel abicel me acel wiye i cawa aryo otyeko cako i mwaka me apar me twero me kijenyo, kede otyeko i mwaka me abiriyabo apar kede acel.

Lok aryo mukene me Ejipito me mwaka me apar kede aryo no otimme i kare onyo cok ki i nge kwanyo pa Yerusalemu i 586/585 BC.
The message of Christ’s coming is proclaimed as part of the Midnight Cry message that changes to the loud cry message at the Sunday law. Two messages of Egypt are proclaimed before the Sunday law and two messages of Egypt are proclaimed at or just after the Sunday law The doubling of the messages that are given in the same year, during the siege that culminates at the destruction of Jerusalem and the other two messages at the Sunday law, typify the second angel’s message, where there is always a doubling.
Kwena me bino pa Kristo kitye ka keto anyim calo butic me kwena pa “Kok pa Dyewor,” ma lokke dok doko kwena pa kok malubo i kare me cik pa Ceng Ngwen. Kwena aryo ma kwanyo Misiri kipwonyo gin mony ka cik pa Ceng Ngwen pe pud obedo, dok kwena aryo mapol i kom Misiri kipwonyo i kare pa cik pa Ceng Ngwen onyo ceng manok ka iŋwen dok gitye. Kwanyo marac pa kwena manok ma kimiyo i mwaka acel, i kare me kakube ma tyeko i poto pa Jerusalen, kacel dok ki kwena aryo mukene i kare pa cik pa Ceng Ngwen, tye ka nyutu kwena pa malayika me aryo, ka i kabedo man bene tye ka bedo kwanyo marac kare ducu.
A second message is always followed by the third message.
Lok me aryo nongo pe ikato ki cing me acelu; obed ka lok me adek bino inge.
“By pen and voice we are to sound the proclamation, showing their order, and the application of the prophecies that bring us to the third angel’s message. There cannot be a third without the first and second. These messages we are to give to the world in publications, in discourses, showing in the line of prophetic history the things that have been and the things that will be.” Selected Messages, book 2, 104, 105.
“Ki wa peni ki dwon wa myero wa kok yeny man, ka wa nyutu rwom gi kit ma gin tye iye, kacel ki tic pa profesi ma kelowa i cike pa malaika me adek. Pe twero bedo me adek ka pe tye me acel ki me aryo. Cike magi wa myero wa miyi i piny dano ki i buk me pwony, i lok me mino, ka wa nyutu i yore me historia pa profesi gin ma obedo ki gin ma bicel.” Selected Messages, book 2, 104, 105.
At the third message the door of probation is closed. Probation closes for the United States at the Sunday law and probation closes for the world when Michael stands up. Both closed doors represent a third message that is always proceeded by the second message that is always a twofold message.
I kare me adek ot me kica ki kare me nyutu twero me yweyo cengone. Kare me nyutu twero me yweyo cengone otwero cenge ni pi United States i kare me cike me Sunday, dok kare me nyutu twero me yweyo cengone pi piny ducu otwero cenge ka Michael tye ka cako cunge. Dogi aryo man ma ocengere gin kiworo rwot me adek, ma jwi ducu iye olube ki rwot me aryo, ma jwi ducu iye en rwot aryo ma tye ki wang aryo.
The empowerment of the second angel is accomplished when it is joined by the message of the Midnight Cry. The two messages pronounced upon mankind, as represented by Ezekiel’s pronouncements upon Egypt in chapter thirty and thirty-one identify when the message of the Midnight Cry joins the second angel, and the two messages of chapter thirty-two are identifying the empowerment of the third angel in the loud cry.
Miyo mar anera mar aryo otimu ka oluwot kede cawa me Wooc Ceng. Cawa aryo ma ocako i wi dano ducu, calo onen i lok pa Ezekiel i kom Aigupita i cabitara me adek ki acel ki adek ki aryo, nyuto kare ma cawa me Wooc Ceng olwot kede anera mar aryo; dok cawa aryo ma i cabitara me adek ki aryo tyeko nyuto miyo mar anera mar adek i koko matek.
Ezekiel’s wheels of the complex interplay of human events identifies the last warning for mankind, which is the third angel’s warning, and the third angel is made up of the first and second angel’s warnings. The Midnight Cry before the Sunday law and the loud cry after the Sunday law is represented by Ezekiel’s four dates that fall within the ‘seventeen’ years of chapter twenty-nine’s alpha and omega dates that align with the hidden history of Daniel eleven verse forty, as represented in verses eleven through sixteen of the same chapter.
Ogik pa Ezekiel me nyutu rwate rw’apol ki rwinyon pa tim me dano, lanyutu ciko me agiki me cawa piny me lobo, ma en ciko pa malayika me adek; ci malayika me adek ocweyo ki cokcok pa malayika me acel ki pa malayika me aryo. “Midnight Cry” mapwod nyime cike pa Sunday law, ki “loud cry” ma bino inge Sunday law, onyutuwa i kare angwen pa Ezekiel ma poto i kin mwaka “abiriyo ki apar wiye adek” ma i chapter twenty-nine me nino pa alpha ki omega, ma rwate ki historia mopondo pa Daniel eleven verse forty, calo onyutore i verses eleven nyaka sixteen me chapter tye kany.
In Daniel chapter ten, Daniel, as with Ezekiel, is made dumb. Daniel’s dumbness is brought about in the middle of three touches; the first and third touches came from the angel Gabriel and the middle touch was the touch of Christ. Daniel, as with Peter between Caesarea-Philippi and the cross, is in the middle. In the middle Peter saw the glorified Christ, as did Daniel in chapter ten. The middle of the three angels is the second message, which is a combination of two messages.
I leb me Daniel akwan apar, Daniel, macalo Ezekiel, gicweyo en olum. Ollum pa Daniel obino i dye olok me tukkiri adek; tukkiri me acel ki me adek obino ki i malayika Gabriel, to tukkiri ma tye i dye obedo tukkiri pa Kristo. Daniel, macalo Petero i kin Kaisesarea-Filipi ki krica, tye i dye. I dye Petero oneno Kristo ma ogenge, macalo bene Daniel oneno i leb me apar. Dyer me malayika adek en kwena me aryo, ma en agweya pa kwena aryo.
5th Day of the 4th Month & 1844
Nino me 5 i Dwe mar 4 & 1844
In Ezekiel chapter one, verses one and two Ezekiel is at the fifth day of the fourth month, which aligns with the middle of the seventh month movement in 1844. Ezekiel is midway between April 19th and October 22, 1844, just as was Samuel Snow, the messenger of the Midnight Cry in 1844, when he presented his first clear view of the message in Boston, 93 days after April 19th and 93 days before the door closed on October 22, 1844. Samuel Snow was in Boston on July 21, 1844 midway in the seventh month movement, unaware that he was prophetically standing with Peter at the Mount of Transfiguration, Ezekiel in the thirtieth year of the seventeenth Jubilee cycle and Daniel’s second touch during the looking glass vision of chapter ten. 2026 represents the forty-seventh year of the seventieth Jubilee cycle that concludes in 2028.
I kabedo me Ezekiel icopo acel, coc aryo ki aryo, Ezekiel tye i nino me abic me dwe me angwen, ma rwatte ki dirica me tungacel me dwe me abiro i mwaka 1844.

Tyre
Tairo
Before we return to the dating of Ezekiel’s six references of Jerusalem, we should first identify the one date that was proclaimed against Tyre.
Nyinga wa wa dok cen wa i kare me Ezekiel ma tye ka twero lwongo Jerusalem tyen adek acel ki angec, myero wa me kwongo nyutu kare acel ma onyutu piny ikom Turo.
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste: Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the Lord. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
Atye obedo i mwaka me apar wiye acel, i nino me acel me dwe, ni lok pa Rwot obino bukna, owaco ni, In wot dano, pieno Turo owaco ikom Yerusalemu ni, Aha, en opoke, ma en weng woko pa lwak; en okwanyo lacen bukna: an abed ki jami mapol, kombedi en otur woko: Ci pi meno, kumeno Rwot God waco ni; Nen, an atye ka kwedo i komi, in Turo, dok abikelo woko lwak mapol me dog tic i komi, calo nam kelo baaluge mege ka coo malo. Gin bibalo otogo pa Turo, dok gibituro agulone piny: an bene abipoko pro mege woko i kom en, dok abimiyo en obed calo wi got. En obed kabedo me yaro nyat i dye nam: pien an aloko lok no, waco Rwot God: dok en bibedo gin me ayo pa lwak. Dok nyare ma tye i poto ginywal gi pala; dok gibinyono ni an awene Rwot. Pien kumeno Rwot God waco ni; Nen, abikelo ikom Turo Nebukadurezara kabaka pa Babel, kabaka pa lukabaka, ki horse, ki gari, ki je me horse, ki dul, ki lwak mapol.
He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach. With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
En aye kelo pieng ki dako-ni me ibedo i poto; en aye yubo ot me lweny kuom i komi, kadi aye cako cing me polo kuomi, kadi aye kelo okuta me lweny kuomi. En aye keto jami me lweny kuom otaco muru, ka ki dolo mege en aye balo atala muru piny.

Kadi Abino timo i komi bedo calo wi okweya; ibedo kare me yaro nyat kuome; pe ibino yubo dok: pien An Rubanga Yehova aloko kong; ango Wod Ayweya Rubanga.
Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee. And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it! Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure. For thus saith the Lord God; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living; I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord God. Ezekiel 26:1–21.

The message of Tyre was proclaimed the year that Jerusalem was destroyed, and it represents the overthrow of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy at the soon-coming Sunday law. At the Sunday law, the United States (Tyre) prophetically rejoices because it has overthrown Jerusalem, which Sister White identifies as the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, which Ezekiel calls the “gates of the people.” Tyre identifies that Jerusalem “was” the gates of the people in the past tense. A “gate” is a church prophetically.
Ngec me Turo onyuto i mwaka ma Jerusalem obale, dok en karebe cogo me ker me abicel ma wonyore i profesi me Bible i cing cik me Dyeng me Ceng ma tye cok bino. I kare me cik me Dyeng me Ceng, United States (Turo) i kit me profesi bedo ka miyo yom pien obalo Jerusalem, ma Sister White nyuto ni en Kanisa me Seventh-day Adventist me Laodicea, ma Ezekiel lwongo ni “dyere me lwak.” Turo nyuto ni Jerusalem “ne obedo” dyere me lwak i kare ma okato. “Dyang” en kanisa i kit me profesi.
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. Genesis 28:17–19.
Kwo olworo omwene, ci owaco ni, “Kama man romo pire tek ahinya! Ma pe obedo gin mo keken ento ot pa Lubanga, dok ma en dula me polo.” Eka Yakobo ocako me ceng kun okato, okwanyo kite ma en oketo me can pa wiye, oketo gi me poto, kadi osukeko moo iwiye. Eka ocako nying kama meno ni Betel: ento nying taon meno me acakki obedo Luz. Genesis 28:17–19.
The word “Bethel” means house of God, and Tyre rejoices that is has forced the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church to accept the enforcement of the worship of the sun. But in spite of the misguided celebration of those enforcing the worship of the sun, God through Ezekiel states that, “I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers.”
Lok “Bethel” nywola ot pa Lubanga, dok Tiro iye yom atii pien obedo ka omiyo kanisa me Adventist me nino abiro pa Laodikia rwate ki cike me tyeko lwongo me lamo ceng. Ento kata bed ni tye yom ma obal, ma jo ma tye ka tyeko lamo ceng tye ka medo, Lubanga, ki i dwon Ezekiel, owaco ni, “An atye ka kwanyo iye, in Tiro, dok abimiyo lobo mapol cako ka aa malo me ywayo iye, calo nam weko baacce cako ka aa malo. Dok gibityeko poto me Tiro, dok gibikobo kule mace piny.”
The “walls of Tyrus” represent the protection of Tyrus. A “wall” is the symbol of the Ten Commandments.
“Bong Tyrus” twero nyutu gwoko pa Tyrus. “Bong” en nyig coc me Cik Apar.
“The prophet here describes a people who, in a time of general departure from truth and righteousness, are seeking to restore the principles that are the foundation of the kingdom of God. They are repairers of a breach that has been made in God’s law—the wall that He has placed around His chosen ones for their protection, and obedience to whose precepts of justice, truth, and purity is to be their perpetual safeguard.” Prophets and Kings, 677.
“Lanebi ka kany neno kwo jo ma, i kare me poko pa lworo ki adwogi woko ki i adada ki tim maber, tye ka temo me coko dok cik gi yub ma en aye cabo pa Ker pa Lubanga. Gin aye jo ma tye ka yubo dok kabwono ma ki timo i Cik pa Lubanga—otogo ma En otingo idiro jo ma En oketo me rwatte pi gwokgi, ka wot i tyen lok cikgi me ngol ma atir, adada, ki ler, en aye me bedo gwok pa gi ma pe tum.” Prophets and Kings, 677.
God’s law is a wall of protection, but walls in the plural represents the two principles that ‘protected’ and produced the prosperity and success of Tyrus, a symbol of the Republican horn of the United States.
Cik pa Lubanga obedo otwang me gwok, ento otwang i kit me lwongo gi i bong aparo twero cwalo cik aparo ma “ogwoko” kede ma oketo pom me dosto ki loc me Tyrus, ma obedo lanen me tung me Republican me United States.
“‘And he had two horns like a lamb.’ The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as ‘coming up’ in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that ‘all men are created equal’ and endowed with the inalienable right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth. …

“The lamblike horns and dragon voice of the symbol point to a striking contradiction between the professions and the practice of the nation thus represented. The ‘speaking’ of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities. By such action it will give the lie to those liberal and peaceful principles which it has put forth as the foundation of its policy. The prediction that it will speak ‘as a dragon’ and exercise ‘all the power of the first beast’ plainly foretells a development of the spirit of intolerance and persecution that was manifested by the nations represented by the dragon and the leopardlike beast. And the statement that the beast with two horns ‘causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast’ indicates that the authority of this nation is to be exercised in enforcing some observance which shall be an act of homage to the papacy.
“Otino ma calo romo me twolo, ka dok dwone calo me lyel, i cik me pwonyo man ginyuto peko marac adada i kin lok ma twero dano tito kacel ki tic ma lobo man ma kiyubo kede timo. ‘Lok’ me lobo man obedo tic pa lwak me yubo cik kacel ki lwak me ngolo bura. I yoo pa tic man en obino kwanyo adwogi me lok man ikom cik me bedo ma rwot pe tye kacel ki kwe, ma en otyeko keto anyim calo dogola me yubbe.

Dok lok ni lee ma otino aryo ‘miyo lobo kacel ki jo ma bedo iye woro lee me acel’ onyuto ni twero pa lobo man myero itiye me lwongo jo me timo yub mo ma obino bedo tic me nywako woro bot papacy.”
“Such action would be directly contrary to the principles of this government, to the genius of its free institutions, to the direct and solemn avowals of the Declaration of Independence, and to the Constitution. The founders of the nation wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result—intolerance and persecution. The Constitution provides that ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ and that ‘no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.’ Only in flagrant violation of these safeguards to the nation’s liberty, can any religious observance be enforced by civil authority. But the inconsistency of such action is no greater than is represented in the symbol. It is the beast with lamblike horns—in profession pure, gentle, and harmless—that speaks as a dragon.” The Great Controversy, 441, 442.

The foundation of the United States is represented by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution which represent Protestantism and Republicanism respectively. The “walls” of protection and prosperity are Republicanism and Protestantism, and at the Sunday law the principles of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are overturned, for Nebuchadnezzar “shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.”
Cak me United States kinyito ki Declaration of Independence kacel ki Constitution, matye ka nyutu Protestantism ki Republicanism, acel acel. “Bong cen” me gwoko ki me mwony-ber en Republicanism ki Protestantism, ci i cawa me cik pa Sunday cik me Declaration of Independence kacel ki Constitution obalokke, pien Nebuchadnezzar “shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.”
At the Sunday law all the “towers” are broken down, and a tower is a symbol of a church whose foundational philosophy is represented by an effort of man to save himself. Speaking of Nimrod, the great rebel and his tower we are informed in Prophets and Kings, “When the tower had been partially completed, a portion of it was occupied as a dwelling place for the builders; other apartments, splendidly furnished and adorned, were devoted to their idols. The people rejoiced in their success, and praised the gods of silver and gold, and set themselves against the Ruler of heaven and earth.” At the Sunday law Tyrus rejoices that Jerusalem has been overthrown, but national apostasy is followed by national ruin, and the king of the north will then overthrow the walls and towers of the United States.
I kare cawa me cik pa Sunday, “otogo” ducu obaloke piny, ci otogo en cing me twero me kanisa ma pwonye me doko pa iye me nongo iye tye ka kelo nyutu ni dano tye ka temo penyo kwo pire kene. Ka lok iye pi Nimrod, lakwena madit, kacel ki otogo ne, wa ngweno i *Prophets and Kings*, “Ka otogo no onongo tyeko tieko kene, but ot ne mo onongo ki timo ka gang me dano ma gedo ne; ot mukene, ma kiyubo maber ci kiyero mabeco, onongo kiyubo ne pi jo baalegi. Dano no gucako yom cwiny pi loc mamegi, ci guworo jokwongo me silba kacel ki me golde, ci gucako keto cwinya piny i kom Lacung ma polo kacel ki piny.” I kare me cik pa Sunday Tyrus oyomo cwiny ni Jerusalem obalo, ento lok me balo tic pa lobo i kom Yat me wi lobo olwore ki balo pa lobo, ci kabaka me north obedo ka balo bongi kacel ki otogo pa United States.
We will begin to take up the six dates of Jerusalem in Ezekiel in the next article.
