The prophetic characteristic of the dragon is confederation, as identified by Isaiah.

Ekirungo eky’obunnabbi eky’ejjoka eddene kye omukago, nga Isaaya bwe yakirambulula.

Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:9–16.

Mweggatte, mmwe bantu, ne mumenye-menyeka; muwulirize, mwenna ab’ensi ez’ewala: mwesibize, ne mumenye-menyeka; mwesibize, ne mumenye-menyeka. Muteese wamu, era kijja kufuuka bwereere; mwogere ekigambo, naye te kijja kuyimirira: kubanga Katonda ali naffe. Kubanga Mukama yannogera bw’ati n’omukono ogw’amaanyi, n’andagirira obutagenda mu kkubo ly’abantu bano, ng’agamba nti, Temugambe nti, Omukago, nga bwe bagamba abantu bano eri bonna nti, Omukago; so temutya kye batya, so temutabanguka. Mutukuze Mukama ow’eggye ye mwennyini; era abe gyemutya, era abe ow’entiisa yammwe. Era alibeera eky’obuddukiro; naye aliba ejjinja ery’okuseerera n’olwazi olw’okugwisa eri ennyumba zombi eza Isirayiri, ng’omutego n’ekyege eri abatuuze b’e Yerusaalemi. Era bangi mu bo baliseerera, ne bagwa, ne bamenyeka, ne bakwatibwa mu mitego, ne batwalibwa. Zinga obujulizi, zigira etteeka mu bayigirizwa bange. Isaaya 8:9-16.

In the last days, in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, when Isaiah says, “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples,” there is an “evil confederacy” on planet earth. It is important to understand that the history of the United States leading to the Sunday law is prefiguring the same events on the global level.

Mu nnaku ez’enkomerero, mu kiseera eky’okuteekebwako akabonero ku bantu 144,000, bwe Yesaya agamba nti, "Sibira wamu obujulirwa, oggalira amateeka mu bayigirizwa bange," waliwo "omukago ogw’obubi" ku nsi. Kikulu okutegeera nti ebyafaayo eby’Amerika ebitwala ku tteeka lya Sande bifaananyiriza ebintu bimu byennyini ku mutendera gw’ensi yonna.

“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

Amawanga ag’ebweru galigoberera eky’okulabirako kya Amerika. Newankubadde ye ekulembeddeyo, naye ekizibu kye kimu kijja okutuukako ku bantu baffe mu bitundu byonna eby’ensi yonna. Obujulizi, ekitundu eky’omukaaga, omuko 395.

Sister White carefully identifies who the “evil confederacy” is, and it represents the progressive liberalism of the modern globalists. As she does so, she repeatedly quotes the previous verses in Isaiah, which identify an evil confederacy during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Mukyala White alambulula n’obwegendereza ani gwe bayita “okukwatagana okw’obubi,” era kikiikirira obuliberali obutambulira mu maaso bw’abo abawagira okufuula ensi yonna emu ab’amulembe guno. Bw’akikola, asitula emirundi mingi emisoko egyasooka mu Isaaya, egirambulula okukwatagana okw’obubi mu kiseera eky’okuteekako akabonero ku 144,000.

“The Lord declares through the prophet Isaiah: Isaiah 8:9–13 quoted.

Mukama alangirira okuyita mu nnabbi Isaaya: Isaaya 8:9-13 byanukiddwa.

“There are those who question whether it is right for Christians to belong to the Free Masons and other secret societies. Let all such consider the scriptures just quoted. If we are Christians at all, we must be Christians everywhere, and must consider and heed the counsel given to make us Christians according to the standard of God’s Word.” Evangelism, 617, 618.

Waliwo ababuza oba kituufu Abakristaayo okwegatta ku ba Freemason n’ebibiina ebirala eby’ekyama. Ka bonna abatyo batunule ku Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu ebyogeddwako kaakano. Singa ddala tuli Abakristaayo, tulina okubeera Abakristaayo wonna, era tulina okulowooza ku n’okugondera amagezi agawaweebwa ag’okutufuula Abakristaayo ng’okusinzira ku kipimo ky’Ekigambo kya Katonda. Evangelism, 617, 618.

The evil confederacy of the last days is associated with Freemasons, and other secret societies. Its religion is spiritualism, and it is made up of the world bankers and the billionaire merchants of the earth, who “centralize the wealth and power of the world,” and who promote such movements as Antifa and Black Lives Matter to foment “the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed” on a “world-wide scale,” in an effort to reproduce the anarchy of the “French Revolution.”

Omukago omubi ogw’ennaku ez’enkomerero gukwatagana ne Freemasons, n’ebibiina ebyekyama ebirala. Eddiini yaagwo ye spiritwalizimu, era gugattamu abakungu b’amabenki ag’ensi yonna n’abasuubuzi baabuliyoneya ab’ensi yonna, aba “bassa wamu obugagga n’obuyinza bw’ensi yonna,” era abatumbula ebibiina nga Antifa ne Black Lives Matter okulamula “omwoyo gw’obutabanguko, ogw’ebigugungo n’okusuula omusaayi” ku “kigero ky’ensi yonna,” mu kaweefube okuddamu okuleeta obutaliimu tteeka obwa “French Revolution.”

“Spiritualism asserts that men are unfallen demigods; that ‘each mind will judge itself;’ that ‘true knowledge places men above all law;’ that ‘all sins committed are innocent;’ for ‘whatever is, is right,’ and ‘God doth not condemn.’ The basest of human beings it represents as in heaven, and highly exalted there. Thus it declares to all men, ‘It matters not what you do; live as you please, heaven is your home.’ Multitudes are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that license is liberty, and that man is accountable only to himself.

Okukkiriza mu mizimu kugamba nti abantu be bakatonda abato abatagudde mu kibi; nti 'buli muntu yennyini y’ajja ye yeesalira omusango;' nti 'obumanyi obw’amazima bussa abantu waggulu w’amateeka gonna;' nti 'ebibi byonna ebikolebwa tebiba bya musango;' kubanga 'kye kyonna ekiriwo kye kituufu,' era 'Katonda tasalira musango.' Abasinga obwonoonefu mu bantu kukiraga nga bali mu ggulu, era nga bayimuddwa nnyo eyo. Noolwekyo kigamba abantu bonna nti, 'Tekitegeeza kyonna kye okola; beera nga bwe weegomba, eggulu kye maka go.' Ebibiina ebingi bwe batyo bitwalibwa okukkiriza nti okwegomba kwe tteeka ery’okusukka byonna, nti okukkirizibwa okukola by’oyagala kwe kuddembe, era nti omuntu addamu ku ye yekka.

“With such teaching given at the very outset of life, when impulse is strongest, and the demand for self-restraint and purity is most urgent, where are the safeguards of virtue? what is to prevent the world from becoming a second Sodom? At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France.” Education, 227, 228.

"Ng'okuyigiriza okutyo bwe kuweebwa ku ntandikwa ddala y'obulamu, mu kiseera okwegomba lwe kuba kusukkiridde ennyo, era obwetaavu bw'okwefuga n'obutukuvu lwe buba bw'amangu ennyo, obukuumi bw'obutuukirivu buli wa? Kiki ekisobola okuziyiza ensi okufuuka Soodomu ey'okubiri? Mu kiseera kye kimu obutalina mateeka bwenoonya okusangula amateeka gonna, si ga Katonda bokka, naye ne ga bantu. Okukuŋŋaanya obugagga n'obuyinza mu kifo kimu; emikago eminene egy'okugaggawaza abatono nga gasuula abangi; emikago gy'abantu abavu egy'okulwanirira eby'obuganyulo byabwe n'ebyo bye bagamba nti bibagwanira; omwoyo gw'obutabanguko, ogw'obuvuyo n'okuyiwa omusaayi; okusasaanyizibwa mu nsi yonna kw'okuyigiriza kw'ekika kye kimu okwaleeta Empinduka y'e Bufalansa—byonna biri mu kuyingiza ensi yonna mu kulwana okufaanana n'okwo okwazunza Bufalansa." Obuyigirize, 227, 228.

Any thoughtful person should ask themselves what goes on at meetings such as recently took place at Davos, where men express their plans for planet earth without any consideration of the rest of earth’s population? What secrets were there discussed? Of course, Davos is simply one of several secret restricted meetings of the world’s billionaires, bankers, corrupted politicians and morally perverse men who develop their exalted plans for planet earth.

Buli muntu alowooza obulungi asaanidde yeebuuza kiki ekiba gikolebwa mu nkungaana ng’eyabaddewo mu nnaku zino e Davos, eyo abasajja we balangirira enteekateeka zaabwe ku nsi nga tebalowoozaako n’akatono ku bantu abalala ab’ensi yonna? Ebyama ki ebyayogerwako eyo? Mazima ddala, Davos kye kimu ku nkungaana nnyingi ez’ebyama ez’okuyingirwamu baalondeddwa bokka ez’abalina obugagga bungi ennyo ab’ensi yonna, abakulu b’amabanka, bannabyabufuzi abakyamu, n’abasajja abakyamu mu mpisa, abateekateeka era bakulaakulanya enteekateeka zaabwe ezitwalibwa waggulu ku nsi yonna.

“In these last days, there are arising strange fallacies and man-made theories which God declares shall be broken in pieces. The spirit of covetousness has led men to seek worldly advantage, and by extravagance and display they have tried to hide their wicked deeds which they have done in order to reach their object. Men occupying high positions of trust have revealed this unlawful desire for gain; they have practised extortion and robbery, and have gratified the evil passions of their hearts, until our cities are corrupted through their wickedness. God has declared that he will uncover these works of deceit and robbery by their own working. In some cases the judgments of God have already fallen heavily on these cities.

Mu nnaku zino ez’enkomerero, waliwo okuvumbuka kw’eby’obulimba eby’ewuunyisa n’enteesi ezaatekebwa abantu, era Katonda agamba nti bijja kumenyebwamenyebwa. Omwoyo gw’okwegomba gutadde abantu mu kunoonya omugaso gw’ensi, era mu kusesaanya n’okweraga bagezezzaako okukisa ebikolwa byabwe ebibi bye bakoze okutuuka ku kigendererwa kyabwe. Abasajja ab’omu bifo eby’ekitiibwa n’okwesigwa balaze okwegomba okutali kwa mateeka okw’okufuna amagoba; bakoze okunyunyula n’obubbi, era batuukiriza okwegomba okubi kw’emitima gyabwe, okutuusa emibuga gyaffe ne giyononeka olw’obubi bwabwe. Katonda alagidde nti ajja kubikkula ebikolwa bino eby’obulimba n’obubbi, nga ebikolwa byabwe byennyini bibyambulula. Mu bimu, ebibonerezo bya Katonda bimaze dda okugwa nnyo ku mbuga zino.

“Isaiah 8:8–12 quoted.” Review and Herald, July 18, 1907.

"Ebigambo bya Isaaya 8:8-12 byasomeddwa." Review and Herald, Julaayi 18, 1907.

The cities have been corrupted, as predicted in the previous passage, and that corruption is brought about by the evil confederacy of Isaiah chapter eight. They have been corrupted by, “men occupying high positions of trust” who “have revealed” their “unlawful desire for gain.” The corrupted cities are easily seen in states whose attorney generals have been elected by the funds of communists such as George Soros. It can be seen when established laws go un-enforced by corrupted politicians in Washington, DC. It can be seen by laws which are only employed against those on the other side of the political spectrum, as illustrated by persons such as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.

Ebibuga byonooneddwa, nga bwe byalaguzibwa mu kitundu ekyasooka, era okwononebwa okwo kuleetebwa kukwatagana okw’obubi okwogerwako mu Isaya essuula munaana. Byonooneddwa olw’ “abantu abatudde mu bifo eby’obwesige eby’awaggulu” aba “balaze” “okwegomba kwabwe okutali kwa mateeka okw’okufuna amagoba.” Ebibuga ebyonoonese byerabikira mangu mu states mwe ba Attorney General baalondebwa n’ensimbi za bakomyunisiti nga George Soros. Kiboneka bwe amateeka agateekebwawo dda tegateekebwa mu nkola olw’abannabyabufuzi abayonoonese mu Washington, DC. Kiboneka ne mu mateeka agakozesebwa ku abo bokka abali ku ludda olulala mu byobufuzi, nga bwe kirabikira ku bantu nga Nancy Pelosi ne Adam Schiff.

In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isaiah 59:13–15.

Mu kwonoona n’okulimba eri Mukama, n’okuviira ddala ku Katonda waffe, nga twogera eby’okunyigiriza n’okujeemera, nga tufumiitiriza ne tuvaamu ebigambo eby’obulimba ebiva mu mitima. N’okusalawo ne kudda emabega, n’obutuukirivu ne buyimirira wala; kubanga amazima gagudde mu luguudo, era obulinganirwa tebuyinza kuyingira. Weewaawo, amazima gaggwaawo; n’oyo eyevamu ebibi yeefuula omunyagibwa: era Mukama n’akilaba, ne kimunyiiza kubanga tewaali kusalawo. Isaaya 59:13-15.

In the previous passage from the Review and Herald, the men who occupy high positions of trust, identifies corrupted politicians whose Wall Street portfolios always exceed the best possible returns, because of their legislative work in legalizing “insider trading” for themselves, and no one else. Review the history of Martha Stewart. The cities in the passage are corrupted through their wickedness, and this is especially apparent in the cities and states governed by the globalist Democrats.

Mu kyawandiiko ekyasooka okuva mu Review and Herald, abasajja abatuula mu bifo eby’ekitiibwa eby’okwesigwa balaga abannabyabufuzi abalya enguzi, abalina emitwalo gy’obusuubuzi gyabwe ku Wall Street egisukkirira bulijjo amagoba ag’asinga okuba agasoboka, olw’omulimu gwabwe mu mateeka ogw’okufuula “insider trading” eky’amateeka eri bo bokka, so si balala. Kebera ebyafaayo bya Martha Stewart. Ebibuga ebiri mu kyawandiiko bino byonoonese olw’obubi bwabyo, era kino kirabika ennyo mu bibuga ne states ebifugibwa ba Democrat ab’ennono ya globalism.

The evil confederacy in the last days consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, and the beast and false prophet have their own wicked prophetic characteristics, but the characteristics that are so apparent in liberal globalism are the traits of the dragon.

Omukago omubi ogw’ennaku ez’oluvannyuma gugattibwaamu omusota, ensolo n’ennabbi ow’obulimba, era ensolo n’ennabbi ow’obulimba balina empisa z’obunabbi zaabwe ez’obubi, naye empisa ezirabika ennyo mu globalismu wa liberaali ze mpisa z’omusota.

“Revelation 17:13–14 quoted. ‘These have one mind.’ There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan’s forces. ‘And shall give their power and strength unto the beast.’ Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism.

Okubikkulirwa 17:13-14 bigambiddwa. “Bano balina omwoyo gumu.” Walibaawo obumu obw’ensi yonna, okutuukagana okunene, omukago gw’amagye ga Setaani. “Era baligabira ensolo obuyinza bwabwe n’amaanyi gaabwe.” Mu ngeri eno weeyoleka obuyinza obutali bwenkanya era obunyigiriza obulwanyisa eddembe ery’eddiini, eddembe ly’okusinza Katonda ng’ebiragiro by’omutima bwe bimulagira, nga bwe kyeyoleka mu Obwapapa, mu biseera ebyayita bwe baabonyaabonya abo abalina obuvumu okugaana okugoberera emikolo n’emiragiro gy’eddiini ey’Oburoma.

“In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God’s people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Law-giver identifies Himself as the Creator of the heavens and the earth.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

Mu lutalo olugenda okutabaalibwa mu nnaku ez’enkomerero, amaanyi gonna agakyamu agaalekeraawo obwesigwa eri etteeka lya Yakuwa galigattika okulumba abantu ba Katonda. Mu lutalo luno, Ssabbiiti ey’ekiragiro eky’okuna ejja kubeera ensonga ennene ey’okukontana; kubanga mu kiragiro kya Ssabbiiti, Owaamateeka Omukulu yeeyanjula ng’Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi. The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

We will consider the prophetic characteristics of the beast and apostate Protestantism in the following articles. It is important to identify what has been revealed concerning which political party is leading out and pulling the strings in the enforcement of Sunday legislation. Of course, both parties (Democrat and Republican) come together at the Sunday law issue, as did the Pharisees and Sadducees at the cross, but there is no justifiable reason to suggest that the label of Protestant or apostate Protestant can be associated with the Democratic party, for it is clearly the dragon power.

Mu biwandiiko ebigoberera tunaalowooza ku bubonero bw’obunnabbi eby’ensolo n’obuProtestantisimu obw’obujeemu. Kikulu okulambulula ekibikkuliddwa ku kibiina ky’ebyobufuzi ekikulembera okuteekateeka n’okussa mu nkola etteeka lya Ssande. Kiri ky’amazima nti ebibiina byombi (Democrat ne Republican) bijja wamu ku nsonga y’etteeka lya Ssande, nga bwe baakola Abafalisaayo n’Abasaddukaayo ku musaalaba; naye tewali nsonga entuufu ey’okulowooza nti erinnya lya Protestanti oba Protestanti omwajeemu lisobola okugattibwa ku kibiina kya Democratic, kubanga kyo kyerabika bulungi nti kye buyinza bw’eddiragoni.

The history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the history where Isaiah’s evil confederacy of chapter eight is identified. That history began on September 11, 2001, when the fourth president, Bush the second, was in power. In that history the sixth president would arrive in 2016, and he would awaken (stir up) all the realm of Grecia, for he would awaken the world to the struggle between the dragon power and apostate Protestantism that accomplishes the work of restoring the beast to the throne of the earth.

Ebyafaayo eby’okuteekebwako akabonero kw’abantu 144,000 bye ebyafaayo mwe kimanyiddwa omukago omubi ogwogerwako mu Isaaya omutwe ogw’omunaana. Ebyafaayo ebyo byatandika ku September 11, 2001, nga pulezidenti ow’okuna, Bush ow’okubiri, ye yali mu buyinza. Mu ebyo, pulezidenti ow’omukaaga yandituuka mu 2016, era yandizukuza (yandikunkumula) obwakabaka bwonna bwa Bugereeki, kubanga yandizukuza ensi ku lutalo wakati w’obuyinza bw’omusota n’ObuProtestanti obujeemu obukola omulimu ogw’okuzza ekisolo ku nnamulondo y’ensi.

The blind, unreasoning hatred against Trump is identified by many as a kind of insanity, for it is based on dishonesty and irrational logic. The world attempts to define the unjustifiable hatred for Trump, but the reality is that it is not a straightforward human insanity on the part of the globalists, it is the supernatural manifestation of the fulfillment of prophecy during the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Obukyayi obuzibe amaaso obutalina kutegeera eri Trump bumanyiddwa abangi ng'ekika ky'obulalu, kubanga businziira ku bulimba n'amagezi ag'atafa ku mutwe. Ensi egezaako okutegeeza obukyayi obutayinza kusalirwa nsonga eri Trump, naye amazima ge nti si bulalu bwa muntu bwa bulijjo ku ludda lw'abagenderera ensi yonna; wabula kye kulabika kw'eby'omu mwoyo okw'okutuukirizibwa kw'obunnabbi mu byafaayo by'okuteekebwako akabonero kw'emitwalo kkumi na nnya n'enkumi nnya.

“O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry! But many of those who should be proclaiming the truth are accusing and condemning their brethren. When the converting power of God comes upon minds, there will be a decided change. Men will have no inclination to criticize and tear down. They will not stand in a position that hinders the light from shining to the world. Their criticism, their accusing, will cease. The powers of the enemy are mustering for battle. Stern conflicts are before us. Press together, my brethren and sisters, press together. Bind up with Christ. ‘Say ye not, A confederacy, . . . neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.’

Ayi, singa abantu ba Katonda baalina okutegeera ku kuzikirira okuli kumpi okutuuka ku bibuga bingi ennyo, waakiri eby’enkumi, ebyo kati nga biri kumpi okwewaayo ddala mu kusinza ebifaananyi! Naye bangi ku abo abandibadde balangirira amazima bali mu kuvunaana n’okusalira abooluganda baabwe omusango. Bwe kinaaba nti amaanyi aga Katonda agakyusa gatuuse ku mitima gy’abantu, walibaawo enkyukakyuka eneemaliriziddwa. Abantu tebaliba na kwegomba kunenya newaakubadde okumenya. Tebalimirira mu mbeera eziziyiza ekitangaala okumasamasa eri ensi. Okunenya kwabwe, n’okuvunaana kwabwe, kuliggwaawo. Amaanyi g’omulabe gali mu kwekuŋŋaanya olw’olutalo. Entalo enkambwe ziri mu maaso gaffe. Munywegerane wamu, ab’oluganda bange abasajja n’abakyala, munywegerane wamu. Munyweze wamu ne Kristo. ‘Temugambe nti, Okwegatta, . . . so temutya kutya kwabwe, so temuterekerera. Mutukuze Mukama ow’eggye ye mwennyini; era ye abe gwe mutya, era ye abe entiisa yammwe. Era alibeera ekifo ekitukuvu; naye era alibeera ejjinja ery’okwesittalirako n’lwazi olw’okwerumya eri ennyumba zombi eza Isirayiri, omutego n’enssa eri abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi. Era bangi mu bo banaasittala, ne bagwa, ne bamenyeka, ne bakwatibwa mu mitego, ne batwalibwa.’

“The world is a theater. The actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to his rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.

Ensi ye sitagi. Abazannyi, abatuula mu yo, bategekera okuzannya omugabo gwabwe mu kizannyo ekikulu eky’enkomerero. Katonda abuziddwa mu maaso. Mu bibinja binene by’abantu tewali bumwe, okuggyako bwe beegatta okutuukiriza eby’okwegomba kwabwe. Katonda atunuulira. Ebigendererwa bya Katonda ku bantu be abajeemu bijja kutuukirizibwa. Ensi tewaweebwa mu mikono gy’abantu, newankubadde Katonda akkiriza ebintu eby’obutabanguko n’obutali mu nteekateeka okufuga okumala akaseera. Amaanyi agava wansi gakola okuleeta ebitundu eby’enkomerero ebikulu mu kizannyo—Setaani ng’ajja ng’ali Kristo, era ng’akola n’obulimba bwonna obw’obutali butuukirivu mu abo abeegatta mu bibinja eby’ekyama. Abo abakkiriza okwegomba okw’okwegatta, bakola enteekateeka z’omulabe. Ekivaako kijja kugobererwa ekivuddeko.

“Transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.” Review and Herald, September 10, 1903.

Obujeemu bumaze okutuuka kumpi ku nsalo yaabwo. Ensi ejjudde obutabanguko, era entiisa ennene egenda okutuukako ku bantu mu bbanga ttono. Enkomerero eri kumpi nnyo. Ffe abamanyi amazima tusaanidde okutegekera ekigenda okusitukira ku nsi mangu ddala ng’ekyewuunyisa ekisemerera ennyo. Review and Herald, Sebuttemba 10, 1903.

Islam of the third woe is about to strike “thousands of cities” and Laodicean Adventism has no sense of the impending destruction that is about to happen. In the time period when Isaiah’s evil confederacy is accomplishing its work, there is a satanic “power from beneath” that is “working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,” and these things come as an “overwhelming surprise.” The insanity exercised towards Trump is caused by a power from beneath. It is a component of the last scenes of earth’s history.

Obusiraamu bw’akabi ak’okusatu bugenda okulumba "enkumi z’ebibuga," ate ObuAdiventisi obw’e Lawodikiya tebutegeera nti okuzikirira okusemberedde kugenda okutuuka. Mu kiseera omukago omubi Yisaaya gwe yayogerako bwe gubeera gutuukiriza omulimu gwaagwo, wabaawo amaanyi "agava wansi" aga Setaani agali "ng’akola okuleeta ebitundu ebinene eby’enkomerero mu muzannyo," era ebyo bijja nga "ekikangabwa ekisukkiridde." Obwazimu obukolebwa eri Trump buva ku maanyi agava wansi. Obwazimu obwo kimu ku bitundu eby’enkomerero eby’ebyafaayo by’ensi.

This should not be understood as an endorsement for Trump, it is simply God’s Word, which never fails. During the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand God is pouring out His power from on high, while Satan is exercising his power from beneath.

Kino tekiteekwa kutegeerwa ng’okuwagira Trump; wabula kye Kigambo kya Katonda busa, ekitalemereranga. Mu kiseera eky’okuteekebwako akabonero kw’abo 144,000, Katonda afukako amaanyi ge okuva waggulu, ate Satani ng’akozesa amaanyi ge okuva wansi.

“If we would have the spirit and power of the third angel’s message, we must present the law and the gospel together, for they go hand in hand. As a power from beneath is stirring up the children of disobedience to make void the law of God, and to trample upon the truth that Christ is our righteousness, a power from above is moving upon the hearts of those who are loyal, to exalt the law, and to lift up Jesus as a complete Saviour. Unless divine power is brought into the experience of the people of God, false theories and ideas will take minds captive, Christ and His righteousness will be dropped out of the experience of many, and their faith will be without power or life.” Gospel Workers, 161.

Obanga twagala okuba n’omwoyo n’obuyinza bw’Obubaka bw’Omulayika Owokusatu, kigwanidde tutegeeze amateeka n’Enjiri wamu, kubanga bigendera wamu. Nga bwe waliwo obuyinza obuva wansi obukubiriza abaana b’obujeemu okusazaamu etteeka lya Katonda, era n’okulinnyirira amazima nti Kristo ye butuukirivu bwaffe, waliwo n’obuyinza obuva waggulu obukola ku mitima gy’abo abeesigwa, okutumbula etteeka, era okutumbula Yesu ng’Omulokozi omujjuvu. Singa obuyinza bwa Katonda tebuleetebwa mu bumanyirivu bw’abantu ba Katonda, enteeso n’ebirowoozo ebikyamu bijja kuwamba ebirowoozo, Kristo n’obutuukirivu bwe bijja kulekebwa biveewo mu bumanyirivu bwa bangi, era okukkiriza kwabwe kujja kuba nga tekulimu buyinza wadde obulamu. Abakozi b’Enjiri, 161.

The manifestation of Satanic power which occurs before, and leading up to the soon-coming Sunday law, typifies the crowning act of Satan’s power that occurs at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Okweeyoleka kw’amaanyi ga Setaani okw’obaawo nga tekunnabaawo etteeka lya Sande erijja mangu, era nga kukulembera okutuuka ku tteeka eryo, kuyimirira ng’ekifaananyi ky’ekikolwa ekikulu ennyo eky’amaanyi ga Setaani ekinaabaawo ku tteeka lya Sande erijja mangu.

“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.

Olw’ekiragiro ekikakaza enteekateeka y’Obupapa nga kyesittaza ku mateeka ga Katonda, eggwanga lyaffe lijja okwawukana ddala n’obutuukirivu. ObuProtestanti bwe bulinyola omukono ne bukwata ku gw’obuyinza bwa Roma, nga bususse enjawukana eziri wakati wa byo; bwe bulituuka ne busomoka ekiwonvu ne bukwatagana ku mikono n’Obw’emizimu; era, wansi w’obuyinza bw’obumu obw’emirundi esatu buno, eggwanga lyaffe bwe lijja kugaana enteeko zonna eziri mu Ssemateeka waalyo ng’egavumenti ya BuProtestanti era eya Repabulika, ne liteekawo enkola ey’okusaasaanya obulimba n’okukyamya abantu eby’Obupapa, awo tunaamanye nti ekiseera kituuse eky’omulimu ogw’ekitalo ogwa Setaani, era nti enkomerero eri kumpi. Obujulizi, Voliyumu 5, omuko 451.

The motivation that is currently coming from beneath, and manifesting its activities in the globalist representatives of the dragon in the United States, will be reproduced in the nations of the world after the Sunday law arrives. Even now, the nations of the world are manifesting the same supernatural insanity over Trump.

Obuyinza obusindika obuva wansi, era obulaga emirimu mu baakiikirira omusota ab’obugatte bw’ensi yonna ab’omu Amerika, bujja okuddamu okulabikira mu mawanga g’ensi yonna nga etteeka lya Ssande lituuse. N’abuli kati, amawanga g’ensi yonna galaga obulalu obw’eby’omwoyo obumu ku Trump.

“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

Amawanga ag’ebweru galigoberera eky’okulabirako kya Amerika. Newankubadde ye ekulembeddeyo, naye ekizibu kye kimu kijja okutuukako ku bantu baffe mu bitundu byonna eby’ensi yonna. Obujulizi, ekitundu eky’omukaaga, omuko 395.

What the Republicans of the United States define as insanity on the part of Democrats in their illogical opposition to Trump, is actually a supernatural manifestation of satanic power that is in fulfillment of Daniel chapter eleven, verse two. Trump, the sixth president since the time of the end in 1989 was to “stir up” (awaken), the socialistic globalists of the entire world. The hatred against him is supernatural, and it prefigures the manifestation of satanic power that arrives in greater magnitude at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Kye Abarepulikaana e Amerika bakyogerako ng’obw’eddalu okuva eri Abademokulati mu kuwakyana kwabwe okutali kwa magezi eri Trump, mu mazima kye kulabika okusinga eby’obuntu kw’obuyinza bwa Sitaani, okuli mu kutuukirizibwa kwa Danieri essuula 11, olunyiriri 2. Trump, pulezidenti omukaaga okuva mu kiseera eky’enkomerero mu 1989, yalina ‘okubawuubya’ (okuzuukusa) abalwanirira obugatte bw’ensi yonna ab’enkola ya sosaaliyisiti okwetooloola ensi yonna. Obukyayi obumukwatiddwa bwa kusinga eby’obuntu, era bulagirira okulabika kw’obuyinza bwa Sitaani okunaatera okutuuka mu maanyi agasinga ennyo mu biseera by’etteeka lya Ssande erinaatera okuteekebwawo.

The manifestation of the power from beneath, according to Sister White’s reference takes place during the evil confederation, which Isaiah warns about in chapter eight, and in that period the sealing of God’s people is occurring.

Okulabika kw’amaanyi okuva wansi, ng’okusinziira ku bwe yategeeza Sister White, kubaawo mu kiseera ky’omukago omubi, Isaaya gw’alabula mu ssuula ey’omunaana, era mu kiseera ekyo okuteekebwako akabonero k’abantu ba Katonda kubeerawo.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:16.

Siba obujulizi, ssaako akabonero ku tteeka wakati mu abayigirizwa bange. Yesaaya 8:16.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Tujja kugenda mu maaso n’okunoonyereza kuno mu kiwandiiko ekiddako.

“Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons. The spirits of devils will go forth to the kings of the earth and to the whole world, to fasten them in deception, and urge them on to unite with Satan in his last struggle against the government of heaven. By these agencies, rulers and subjects will be alike deceived. Persons will arise pretending to be Christ Himself, and claiming the title and worship which belong to the world’s Redeemer. They will perform wonderful miracles of healing and will profess to have revelations from heaven contradicting the testimony of the Scriptures.

Endabika ez’entiisa ez’obutali bwa bulijjo zijja okubikkulirwa mu ggulu mu bbanga ttono, ng’akabonero k’obuyinza bw’emizimu emibi egikola amagero. Emizimu gy’badayimooni gijja kugenda eri bakabaka b’ensi n’eri ensi yonna, okubanyweza mu bulimba, era gibasindike okwegatta ne Setaani mu kulwana kwe okusembayo okulwanyisa obufuzi bwa ggulu. Mu ngeri zino, abafuzi n’abafugibwa banaalimbibwanga kyenkana. Abantu balijjuuka nga beeyita Kristo yennyini, era nga bawanjagira ekitiibwa n’okusinza ebigwanira Omununulizi w’ensi. Balikola amagero ag’ekitalo ag’okuwonya, era baligamba nti bafunye okubikkulirwa okuva mu ggulu ebikontana n’obujulizi bw’Ebyawandiikibwa.

“As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour’s advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. Revelation 1:13–15. The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: ‘Christ has come! Christ has come!’ The people prostrate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Saviour uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion. Like the Samaritans who were deceived by Simon Magus, the multitudes, from the least to the greatest, give heed to these sorceries, saying: This is ‘the great power of God.’ Acts 8:10.

Ng’ekikolwa ekikomekkereza mu muzannyo omunene ogw’obulimba, Sitaani yennyini ajja kweyitira Kristo. Ekanisa okumala ebbanga ddene ebadde etunuulidde okujja kw’Omulokozi ng’okutuukirizibwa kw’obusuubize bwayo. Kati omulimba omukulu ajja kulabisa ng’a Kristo azze. Mu bitundu eby’enjawulo eby’ensi, Sitaani ajja kweeyoleka mu bantu ng’ekitonde ekigulumivu ekimulimisa nnyo, ng’afaanana n’enyinyonyola ey’Omwana wa Katonda Yokaana gye yawa mu Revelation. Revelation 1:13-15. Ekitiibwa ekimwetoolodde tekifaananyizibwa na kintu kyonna kye maaso g’abantu abafa kyakolaba. Eddoboozi ly’obuwanguzi lisikukira mu bbanga nti: ‘Kristo azze! Kristo azze!’ Abantu bagwa wansi mu kusinza mu maaso ge, ye ng’awanika emikono gye n’abawa omukisa, nga Kristo bwe yawa omukisa abayigirizwa be bwe yali ku nsi. Eddoboozi lye lyekkendeevu era lyerowoozo, naye lijjudde obunyumya. Mu ddoboozi ery’ekisa n’ery’okusaasira ayogeraamu ebimu ku mazima ag’ekisa ag’omu ggulu Omulokozi ge yayogera; awonya endwadde z’abantu, era oluvannyuma, mu ngeri gy’eyitira Kristo, yeegamba nti yakyusa Ssabbiiti n’afuula Ssande, era alagira bonna okutukuza olunaku lwe yawa omukisa. Alangirira nti abo abeyongera okukuuma olunaku olw’omusanvu nga lutukuvu bakolimira erinnya lye nga bagaana okuwulira bamalayika be abatumiiddwa gyebali nga baleese omusana n’amazima. Kino kulimba kwa maanyi nnyo, okumpi n’okuwangula bonna. Ng’Abasamaliya abaali balimbiddwa Simon Magus, ebibiina by’abantu, okuva ku bato okutuuka ku bakulu, bawuliriza eby’obulogo bino, nga bagamba nti: Kino kye ‘Buyinza bwa Katonda obukulu.’ Acts 8:10.

“But the people of God will not be misled. The teachings of this false christ are not in accordance with the Scriptures. His blessing is pronounced upon the worshipers of the beast and his image, the very class upon whom the Bible declares that God’s unmingled wrath shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.

Naye abantu ba Katonda tebalikyamizibwa. Obuyigirize bwa Kristo ono ow’obulimba tebukwatagana n’Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu. Omukisa gwe gutangazibwa ku basinza ekisolo n’ekifaananyi kyakyo—ekika kennyini Bayibuli kye egamba nti obusungu bwa Katonda obutagattiddwamu buliyikibwa ku bo. Empaka Enkulu, 624, 625.
