In the book of Ezekiel, the ‘siege’ of Jerusalem is the ‘sign’ that is the test by which our eternal destiny will be decided, for it marks the formation of the image of the beast.

Mu kitabo kya Ezekyeri, “okuzingiza” Yerusaalemi kye “kabonero” ekiri okugezesebwa ekirina okusalawo enkomerero yaffe ey’emirembe n’emirembe, kubanga kiraga okutondebwawo kw’ekifaananyi ky’ensolo.

“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. …

“Mukama andagidde bulungi nti ekifaananyi ky’ensolo kijja kukolebwa nga ekiseera ky’ekisa tekinnaggwaako; kubanga kye kigezo ekinene eri abantu ba Katonda, era nga okuyita mu kyo enkomerero yaabwe ey’olubeerera y’ejja okusalibwawo. …”

“This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

“Kuno kwe kugezesebwa abantu ba Katonda kwe balina okufuna nga tebannateekebwako akabonero. Bonna abaakakasa obwesigwa bwabwe eri Katonda olw’okukwata amateeka Ge, era ne bagaana okukkiriza ssabbiiti ey’obulimba, balyeyunga wansi w’ebendera ya Mukama Katonda Yakuwa, era balikkirizibwa okuteekebwako akabonero ka Katonda omulamu. Naye abo abagobera amazima agava mu ggulu ne bakkiriza ssabbiiti ya Ssande, balifuna akabonero k’ensolo.” Manuscript Releases, voliyumu 15, 15.

The Christians that fled Jerusalem at the ‘sign’ of Cestius, did so because they had been forewarned and recognized the ‘sign’ when it arrived. Recognizing the formation of the image of the beast is to recognize the “events,” “preparations” and “movements” that lead to the Sunday law. The prophetic elements that make up the ‘sign’ must be understood in advance of the sign. When Cestius began the siege it was too late to learn what the sign was.

Abakristaayo abaadduka e Yerusaalemi ku “kabonero” ka Cestius, baakikola kubanga baali baasooka kutegeezebwa era ne bategeera “akabonero” bwe kaatuuka. Okutegeera okutondebwawo kw’ekifaananyi ky’ensolo kwe kutegeera “ebyebibaawo,” “okwetegekateeka,” n’“entambula” eziviirako etteeka lya Ssande. Ebitundu eby’obunnabbi ebikola “akabonero” birina okutegeerwa nga akabonero tekannaba kutuuka. Cestius bwe yatandika okuzingiza, kyali kiyise obudde okuyiga akabonero kye kyali.

“Already preparations are advancing, and movements are in progress, which will result in making an image to the beast. Events will be brought about in the earth’s history that will fulfill the predictions of prophecy for these last days.” Review and Herald, April 23, 1889.

“Dda enteekateeka zeeyongera mu maaso, era n’enkola ziri mu kugenda mu maaso, ezinaaviiramu okukola ekifaananyi eri ensolo. Ebibaddewo binaaleetebwa mu byafaayo by’ensi ebijja okutuukiriza ebyalagulwa mu bunnabbi olw’ennaku zino ez’oluvannyuma.” Review and Herald, April 23, 1889.

Preparations, Movements and Events

Okuteekateeka, Entambula n’Ebibaddewo

The “preparations,” “movements” and “events” must be recognized in advance of the test.

“Okutegeka,” “entambula” n’“ebyenzeka” biteekwa okumanyibwa nga ekigezo tekinnatuuka.

“All that God has in prophetic history specified to be fulfilled in the past has been, and all that is yet to come in its order will be. Daniel, God’s prophet, stands in his place. John stands in his place. In the Revelation the Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the students of prophecy the book of Daniel, and thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears his testimony, that which the Lord revealed to him in vision of the great and solemn events which we must know as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.

“Byonna Katonda bye yalagira mu byafaayo eby’obunnabbi nti birituukirira mu biseera ebyayita, byatuukirira; era byonna ebyakyali okujja mu nsengeka yaabyo birijja kutuukirira. Danyeri, nnabbi wa Katonda, ayimiridde mu kifo kye. Yokaana ayimiridde mu kifo kye. Mu Kubikkulirwa Empologoma ey’ekika kya Yuda yabikkulira abayizi b’obunnabbi ekitabo kya Danyeri, era bw’atyo Danyeri ayimiridde mu kifo kye. Awa obujulirwa bwe, bwe bintu Mukama bye yamubikkulira mu kwolesebwa okw’ebintu ebinene era eby’entiisa, bye tulina okumanya nga tuyimiridde ku mulyango gwennyini ogw’okutuukirira kwabyo.

“In history and prophecy the Word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been, will be repeated.” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.

“Mu byafaayo n’obunnabbi, Ekigambo kya Katonda kiraga olutalo olw’amaanyi era olw’ebbanga eddene wakati w’amazima n’obulimba. Olutalo olwo lukyagenda mu maaso. Ebyo ebyaliwo dda, biriddamu okubaawo.” Selected Messages, ekitabo 2, 109.

We “must know” “the great and solemn events as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.” The threshold identifies our need to understand the events in advance of their fulfilment.

Ffe “tulina okumanya” “ebintu ebikulu era eby’entiisa nga tuyimiridde ku mulyango ddala ogw’okutuukirira kwabyo.” Omulyango guno gulaga obwetaavu bwaffe okutegeera ebintu bino nga tebinnatuukirira.

“But the stern tracings of the prophetic pencil reveal a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamb-like horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ The spirit of persecution manifested by paganism and the papacy is again to be revealed. Prophecy declares that this power will say ‘to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ [Revelation 13:14.] The image is made to the first or leopard-like beast, which is the one brought to view in the third angel’s message. By this first beast is represented the Roman Church, an ecclesiastical body clothed with civil power, having authority to punish all dissenters. The image to the beast represents another religious body clothed with similar power. The formation of this image is the work of that beast whose peaceful rise and mild professions render it so striking a symbol of the United States. Here is to be found an image of the papacy. When the churches of our land, uniting upon such points of faith as are held by them in common, shall influence the State to enforce their decrees and sustain their institutions, then will Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy. Then the true church will be assailed by persecution, as were God’s ancient people. Almost every century furnishes examples of what bigotry and malice can do under a plea of serving God by protecting the rights of Church and State. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. In the seventeenth century thousands of non-conformist ministers suffered under the rule of the Church of England. Persecution always follows religious favoritism on the part of secular governments.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 277.

“Naye ebifaananyi eby’obukakanyavu ebyakubibwa ekkalaamu ey’obunnabbi biraga enkyukakyuka mu kifaananyi kino eky’emirembe. Ensolo ey’amayembe agafaanana ng’aga mwana gw’endiga eyogera n’eddoboozi ly’omusota, era ‘ekola obuyinza bwonna obw’ensolo ey’olubereberye mu maaso gaayo.’ Omwoyo gw’okuyigganya ogwalabisibwa obupagaani n’obwapapa guliddamu okulabisibwa. Obunnabbi bulangirira nti obuyinza buno buligamba ‘abo abatuula ku nsi, okukolera ensolo ekifaananyi.’ [Okubikkulirwa 13:14.] Ekifaananyi kikolebwa eri ensolo ey’olubereberye oba efaanana ng’engo, era eno y’eyo ereetebwa mu kwolesebwa mu bubaka bwa malayika ow’okusatu. Mu nsolo eno ey’olubereberye mulimu okujjulirwa Ekkanisa y’Abaruumi, ekitongole eky’eddiini ekyambadde obuyinza obw’obwannannyini, nga kirina obuyinza okubonereza bonna abawakanya. Ekifaananyi ky’ensolo kikiikirira omubiri omulala ogw’eddiini ogwambadde obuyinza obufaananako. Okukolebwa kw’ekifaananyi kino gwe mulimu gw’ensolo eyo, okuyimuka kwayo okw’emirembe n’okweyatula kwayo okw’obukkakkamu ebigifuula akabonero akategeerekeka ennyo aka Amerika. Wano we tusanga ekifaananyi ky’obwapapa. Ekiseera amakanisa ag’eggwanga lyaffe bwe galigatta ku nsonga ng’ezo ez’okukkiriza ze gakkiriziganyaako, ne gakoseza eggwanga okussa mu nkola ebiragiro byago n’okuwanirira ebitongole byago, olwo Amerika ey’Abapolotesitante eriba ekoze ekifaananyi ky’obukulembeze bw’Ekkanisa y’Abaruumi. Olwo Ekkanisa ey’amazima erirumbibwa okuyigganyizibwa, nga bwe kiri eri abantu ba Katonda ab’edda. Kumpi buli kyasa kiwaayo ebyokulabirako eby’ebyo obuzito bw’endowooza n’obukyayi bye biyinza okukola nga bekwasa okumuweereza Katonda nga bakuuma eddembe ly’Ekkanisa n’Eggwanga. Amakanisa g’Abapolotesitante agaagoberera mu bisinde bya Rooma nga gakola endagaano n’amaanyi ag’ensi galaze okwegomba okufaananako okw’okukugira eddembe ly’omuntu mu nsonga z’omwoyo. Mu kyasa eky’ekkumi n’omusanvu, abasumba bangi nnyo abatakkiriziganya n’enteekateeka ezaaliwo baabonyaabonyezebwa wansi w’obufuzi bw’Ekkanisa y’e Bungereza. Okuyigganya bulijjo kugoberera okuwa ediini emu enkizo ku ludda lw’obufuzi obw’ensi.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 277.

The formation of the image of the beast is accomplished first in the United States, and thereafter in the world.

Okubumba ekifaananyi ky’ensolo kusoose okukolebwa mu United States, oluvannyuma ne mu nsi 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 ga kugoberera ekyokulabirako kya Amerika. Newankubadde ye y’akulembera, naye ekizibu kye kimu kijja kugwa ku bantu baffe mu bitundu byonna eby’ensi.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

The Edict of Milan in 313 represents the starting of the formation, and also identifies the closed door for Seventh-day Adventists. Constantine of the west and Licinius of the east attached a treaty marriage to the Edict, when Constantine gave his half-sister Constantia to Licinius in the fourth treaty marriage represented in a prophetic line of the six treaty marriages within the prophetic history of Daniel eleven. The first two were associated with wars between the north and south, the next two were civil wars between east and west and the last two are symbolic marriages of the papal church power and state power.

Ekiragiro kya Milan mu mwaka gwa 313 kikiikirira okutandika kw’okubumbibwa, era nate kiraga n’oluggi oluggale eri Abadiventi b’Olunaku olw’Omusanvu. Constantine ow’ebugwanjuba ne Licinius ow’ebuvanjuba baagatta ku Kiragiro ekyo obufumbo obw’endagaano, nga Constantine bwe yawa muganda we omuwala ow’omu lubiri, Constantia, eri Licinius mu bufumbo obw’endagaano obw’okuna obukiikiriddwa mu lunyiriri olw’obunnabbi olw’obufumbo obw’endagaano mukaaga obuli mu byafaayo eby’obunnabbi bya Danyeri kkumi na emu. Obubiri obusooka bwali bukwatagana n’entalo wakati w’obukiika obw’obukiikakkono n’obw’obukiikaddyo, obubiri obwaddirira bwali ntalo ez’omunda mu ggwanga wakati w’ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba, ate obubiri obusembayo bwe bufumbo obw’akabonero obw’amaanyi g’ekkanisa eya papa n’amaanyi g’obuyinza bwa gavumenti.

Antiochus II Theos set aside his wife Laodice I to marry the Ptolemaic princess Berenice (daughter of Ptolemy II) around 252 BC. The treaty marriages of the Seleucid Empire were accomplished between the king of the north and the king of the south, whereas; the treaty marriage of 313 was between the emperor of the east and the emperor of the west.

Antiochus II Theos yawukana ne mukyala we Laodice I okufuna mu bufumbo omumbejja ow’ennyumba ya Ptolemy, Berenice (muwala wa Ptolemy II), nga mu mwaka gwa 252 BC. Obufumbo obw’endagaano obw’Obwakabaka bwa Seleucid bwakolebwa wakati wa kabaka ow’obukiika obw’obukiikakkono ne kabaka ow’obukiika obw’obukiikaddyo; ate obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa 313 bwali wakati wa empaana ow’ebuvanjuba ne empaana ow’ebugwanjuba.

The treaty marriage of Antiochus II Theos in 252 BC, represented the beginning of the Seleucid Empire that reached its conclusion as an empire in the history represented in verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven. In the final history of the Seleucid empire another treaty marriage was accomplished by Antiochus III the Great, when he gave his daughter Cleopatra I Syra, (the very first Cleopatra of prophetic history) to Ptolemy V in 193 BC. At the time Ptolemy V was about 16 and Cleopatra I Syra about 10 years old. Their marriage was a diplomatic settlement after the fifth Syrian war. The alpha treaty marriage between the king of the north and south in Daniel eleven had marked the end of the second Syrian war.

Obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa Antiochus II Theos mu mwaka 252 BC bwanannyonnyola okutandika kw’Obwakabaka bwa Seleucid, obwatuuka ku nkomerero yaabwo ng’obwakabaka mu byafaayo ebikiikiriddwa mu nnyiriri kkumi okutuuka ku kkumi na mukaaga eza Danyeri kkumi n’emu. Mu byafaayo eby’enkomerero eby’Obwakabaka bwa Seleucid, obufumbo obulala obw’endagaano bwatuukirizibwa Antiochus III the Great, bwe yawa muwala we Cleopatra I Syra, (Cleopatra asooka ddala mu byafaayo eby’obunnabbi) eri Ptolemy V mu mwaka 193 BC. Mu kiseera ekyo Ptolemy V yali wa myaka nga 16 era Cleopatra I Syra wa myaka nga 10. Obufumbo bwabwe bwali kutabaganya kwa kidipulomasiya oluvannyuma lw’olutalo olw’okutaano olw’e Busuuliya. Obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa alufa wakati wa kabaka ow’obukiikakkono ne kabaka ow’obukiikaddyo mu Danyeri kkumi n’emu bwali bulaze enkomerero y’olutalo olw’okubiri olw’e Busuuliya.

The last Cleopatra of prophetic history interacted with both Julius Caesar and thereafter with Mark Antony. After the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC the second Triumvirate was formed in 43 BC. Three men made up the triumvirate and after one of those three, Marcus Lepidus was forced out of the threefold union by Octavian, a power struggle between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west ensued. At Brundisium, in 40 BC a treaty between the two eastern and western rivals was made. The treaty included the marriage between Octavian’s sister Octavia and Mark Antony. The treaty and accompanying marriage did not hold, and after Mark Antony became involved with Cleopatra, he divorced Octavia in 32 BC. At the battle of Actium in 31 BC, the empires of east and west were consolidated into one power, and Octavian thereafter became Augustus Caesar, the symbol of the height of Roman glory and power.

Kleopatra eyasembayo ow’enkomerero mu byafaayo eby’obunnabbi yakolagana ne Yuliyo Kayisaali era oluvannyuma ne Maaka Antooniyo. Oluvannyuma lw’okuttibwa kwa Yuliyo Kayisaali mu mwaka gwa 44 BC, Obutegerekwa obw’Olusatu obwokubiri bwatondebwawo mu mwaka gwa 43 BC. Abasajja basatu be baakola obwetegerekwa obwo; era oluvannyuma lw’omu ku abo basatu, Makaasi Lepidasi, okuggyibwamu ku bumu obw’abantu abasatu bwe yalemererwa Okitaviyaano, ne wabaawo okulwanagana okw’amaanyi wakati wa Maaka Antooniyo ow’ebuvanjuba ne Okitaviyaano ow’ebugwanjuba. E Brundisium, mu mwaka gwa 40 BC, endagaano wakati w’abavuganya bano ababiri ab’ebuvanjuba n’ab’ebugwanjuba yakolebwa. Endagaano eyo yalimu obufumbo wakati wa mwannyina Okitaviyaano, Okitaviya, ne Maaka Antooniyo. Endagaano eyo n’obufumbo obwajigoberera tebyawangaala; era oluvannyuma lwa Maaka Antooniyo okwegatta ne Kleopatra, yatta obufumbo ne Okitaviya mu mwaka gwa 32 BC. Mu lutalo lwa Actium mu mwaka gwa 31 BC, obwakabaka bw’ebuvanjuba n’obw’ebugwanjuba byagattibwa ne bifuuka obuyinza bumu, era oluvannyuma Okitaviyaano n’afuuka Agusito Kayisaali, akabonero ak’obugulumivu obw’oku ntikko obw’ekitiibwa n’amaanyi ga Rooma.

Prophetically the first treaty marriage of Daniel eleven was between the kings of the north and south in an attempt to end hostilities between the two combatants who were struggling to re-establish the empire of Alexander the Great. That first treaty marriage between the Seleucids and the Ptolemy’s of Egypt was the alpha treaty marriage of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms, which typified the omega treaty marriage between the same two powers. In the last or omega treaty marriage, the very first or alpha Cleopatra of Egyptian history became the prophetic link to the last, or omega Cleopatra; whose relationship with Mark Antony became the point of reference for the divorce of Octavia and Mark Antony. The divorce marked the renewed hostilities between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west which ended at the battle of Actium in 31 BC.

Mu ngeri ey’obunnabbi, obufumbo obw’endagaano obwasooka obwa Danyeri essuula ey’ekkumi n’emu bwali wakati wa bakabaka b’obukiika obwa kkono n’obwa ddyo nga bagezaako okumalawo obulabe wakati w’abalwani ababiri abaali balafuubana okuddamu okuteekawo obwakabaka bwa Alekizanda Omukulu. Obufumbo obwo obwasooka obw’endagaano wakati w’Abaseleucid n’Abatolemi ab’e Misiri bwali bwe bufumbo obw’endagaano obwa alufa obw’obwakabaka obwa Seleucid n’obwa Ptolemaic, obwalaga mu kifaananyi obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa omega wakati w’amaanyi ago gamu. Mu bufumbo obw’endagaano obw’enkomerero, oba obwa omega, Kuleopaatula asooka ddala, oba alufa, mu byafaayo bya Misiri ye yafuuka akagatta ak’obunnabbi akatuusa ku Kuleopaatula ow’enkomerero, oba omega; enkolagana ye ne Maaki Antooni n’efuuka ekifo eky’okusinziirako ku kwawukana kwa Oktavia ne Maaki Antooni. Okwawukana okwo kwalaga okuddamu okutandika kw’obulabe wakati wa Maaki Antooni ow’ebuvanjuba ne Oktaviani ow’ebugwanjuba, obwakoma ku lutalo lw’e Akisiyamu mu mwaka 31 BC.

The treaty marriage of Brundisium in 40 BC was the alpha treaty marriage of the struggle between east and west, just as the treaty marriage of Laodice and Antiochus II Theo was the alpha of the struggle between north and south. The treaty marriage of 313 was the omega to the alpha treaty marriage of Mark Antony and Octavia, just as the treaty marriage between Ptolemy V and Cleopatra I Syra was the omega treaty marriage of the northern and southern kingdoms. The three treaty marriages that led to the omega treaty marriage of 313 all align, and provide three witnesses to the prophetic characteristics associated with the Edict of Milan. Together the four literal treaty marriages of east, west, north and south align with the two symbolic treaty marriages of the papacy.

Obufumbo obw’endagaano obw’e Brundisium mu mwaka gwa 40 BC bwali bwe bufumbo obw’endagaano obwa alufa mu lutalo wakati w’ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba, nga bwe kiri nti obufumbo obw’endagaano bwa Laodice ne Antiochus II Theo bwali alufa w’olutalo wakati w’obukiika obwa kkono n’obwa ddyo. Obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa 313 bwali omega eri obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa alufa bwa Mark Antony ne Octavia, nga bwe kiri nti obufumbo obw’endagaano wakati wa Ptolemy V ne Cleopatra I Syra bwali obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa omega obw’obwakabaka obw’obukiika obwa kkono n’obwa ddyo. Obufumbo obw’endagaano busatu obwaviirako obufumbo obw’endagaano obwa omega obwa 313 bwonna bukwatagana, era buwa obujulirwa busatu eri engeri ez’obunnabbi ezikwatagana n’Etteeka lya Milan. Wamu, obufumbo obw’endagaano obutereevu buna obw’ebuvanjuba, obw’ebugwanjuba, obw’obukiika obwa kkono n’obw’obwa ddyo bukwatagana n’obufumbo obw’endagaano bubiri obw’akabonero obwa obwapapa.

In 496, Clovis the king of the Franks was married to Clotilda. Clotilda was a Burgundian princess, the daughter of King Chilperic II of Burgundy. After her father and mother were murdered in a family power struggle, she lived under the protection of her uncle before being given in marriage to Clovis I, king of the Franks, in 493. She was a Catholic, that is, she held the Nicene/orthodox faith of the Roman Church. This set her apart from many other Germanic royal families of the time, who were Arian Christians. Her mother Caretena had been Catholic, and Clotilda was raised in that faith. She is remembered for persistently urging Clovis to abandon paganism and accept Catholic baptism, and thereafter his conversion in 496 is one of the most important events in the early history of France and of Western so-called Christianity.

Mu mwaka gwa 496, Clovis kabaka w’Abafuranki yali afumbiddwa Clotilda. Clotilda yali mulenzi wa bukungu ow’e Burgundy, muwala wa Kabaka Chilperic II ow’e Burgundy. Oluvannyuma lwa kitaawe ne nnyina okuttibwa mu kulwanaganira obuyinza mu maka, yabeera wansi w’obukuumi bwa kojja we, oluvannyuma n’aweebwa okufumbirwa Clovis I, kabaka w’Abafuranki, mu mwaka gwa 493. Yali Mukatoliki, kwe kugamba, yali akwata okukkiriza okw’e Nicaea/okw’enzikiriza entuufu okw’Ekkanisa y’Abaruumi. Ekyo kyamwawula ku maka amalala amangi ag’obwakabaka ag’Abagirumaani mu biro ebyo, abaali Bakristaayo ba Arian. Nnyina Caretena yali Mukatoliki, era Clotilda yakuzibwa mu kukkiriza okwo. Ajjukirwa olw’okuwaliriza Clovis obutayosa kumuleka obupagaani n’akkiriza okubatizibwa okw’Ekikatoliki, era okuva awo okukyuka kwe mu mwaka gwa 496 kimu ku bintu ebikulu ennyo mu byafaayo ebyasooka eby’e Bufalansa ne mu Bukristaayo obw’ebugwanjuba obuyitibwa obwo.

Clovis vowed that if he won the battle of Tolbiac he would convert to Clotilda’s Catholic faith and be baptized. The Alemanni king was killed, their army broke, and the Franks won. After the victory Clotilda arranged for Bishop Remigius of Reims to instruct Clovis, and he was baptized (traditionally on Christmas Day 496), along with several thousand of his warriors.

Kkulovis yaalayira nti bwe yandikuwangudde olutalo lw’e Tolbiac yali alyoke akyuke eri okukkiriza okw’Ekikatoliki kwa Kulotiruda era abatizibwe. Kabaka w’Abaalemanni yattibwa, eggye lyabwe ne libaluka, era Abafalanka ne bawangula. Oluvannyuma lw’obuwanguzi obwo Kulotiruda yategekera Omulabirizi Remigius ow’e Reims okuyigiriza Kkulovis, era n’abatizibwa (nga mu nnono kyali ku lunaku lwa Ssekukkulu mu mwaka 496), awamu n’enkumi eziwerako ez’abalwanyi be.

Clovis was the king of the Franks, which in modern terms is the king of France. He became the first of the kings of Europe who would ultimately surrender their pagan religion and turn to Catholicism. For this reason, Clovis is considered the “eldest son of the Catholic church,” and France is called, “the eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” In 1980, when pope John Paul II visited France he asked, “France, eldest daughter of the Church, are you faithful to your baptism?”

Kulovisi yali kabaka w’Abafalanki, era mu nnimi ez’omulembe guno kino kitegeeza kabaka wa Bufalansa. Yafuuka ow’olubereberye ku bakabaka b’e Bulaaya abaali bagenda okukkiriza okuleka eddiini yaabwe ey’obuwangwa obw’abapagaani ne bakyukira obukatuliki. Olw’ensonga eno, Kulovisi atwalibwa ng’“omwana omulenzi omukulu ow’Ekkanisa Katolika,” era Bufalansa eyitibwa, “muwala omukulu ow’Ekkanisa Katolika.” Mu 1980, Paapa Yokaana Pawulo II bwe yakyalira Bufalansa yabuuza nti, “Bufalansa, muwala omukulu ow’Ekkanisa, weesigwa eri okubatizibwa kwo?”

Clovis' conversion to Nicene Catholicism identifies the start of a symbolic marriage procession that would lead to the symbolic treaty marriage of 538. The symbolic treaty marriage between Clovis and the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth was typified by the four previous treaty marriages in Daniel eleven. Clovis was the first European king to provide military and economic support for the Roman church and Clovis is therefore represented within the history in Daniel eleven.

Okukyuka kwa Clovis eri Obukatoliki obwa Nicene kulaga okutandika kw’olugendo olw’obufumbo olw’akabonero olwagenda okuviirako obufumbo obw’endagaano obw’akabonero obwa 538. Obufumbo obw’endagaano obw’akabonero wakati wa Clovis n’omwenzi akola obwenzi ne bakabaka b’ensi bwali bulagiriddwa dda n’obufumbo obw’endagaano obuna obw’edda mu Danyeri kkumi na emu. Clovis ye yali kabaka w’e Bulaaya eyasooka okuwa ekkanisa y’Abaruumi obuyambi obw’amagye n’obw’ebyenfuna, era kyava akiikirirwa munda mu byafaayo ebiri mu Danyeri kkumi na emu.

And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 11:31.

Era amaanyi galimuyimirirako, era galyonoona awatukuvu aw’amaanyi, era galiggyaawo ssaddaaka eya bulijjo, era galiteekawo eky’omuzizo ekireeta okuzika. Danyeri 11:31.

Clovis in 496 marks the beginning of the European political structures to “stand up” to aid the papacy as it rose to power. It marks the beginning of a symbolic marriage procession. The “arms” of the verse would also pollute the “sanctuary of strength,” which for both pagan and papal Rome is the city of Rome.

Klovisi mu mwaka gwa 496 gutandika ensengeka z’ebyobufuzi ez’e Bulaaya “okuyimuka” okuyamba obwaapa nga busituka mu buyinza. Kino kitegeeza okutandika kw’olugendo olw’obufumbo olw’akabonero. “Emikono” egyo egy’ennyiriri nayo gyandiyonoonye “awatukuvu aw’amaanyi,” era eri Rooma ey’abapagaani ne Rooma eya papa byombi, ekyo kye kibuga Rooma.

Two Sanctuary's

Ebifo Ebbiri Ebitukuvu

There are two different Hebrew words in the book of Daniel that are translated as “sanctuary.” The Hebrew words ‘miqdash’ and ‘qodesh’ are both translated as “sanctuary,” but qodesh can only represent a holy entity, whereas miqdash can represent either a holy or unholy sanctuary—as determined by context.

Mu kitabo kya Danyeri mulimu ebigambo bibiri eby’enjawulo eby’Olwebbulaniya ebivvuunulwa nga “awatukuvu.” Ebigambo eby’Olwebbulaniya ‘miqdash’ ne ‘qodesh’ byombi bivvuunulwa nga “awatukuvu,” naye qodesh esobola okukiikirira ekintu ekitukuvu kyokka, so ng’ate miqdash esobola okukiikirira oba awatukuvu oba awatali butukuvu — nga bwe kisuubirizibwa n’ensonga eri mu mbeera y’ekitundu ekyo.

The “sanctuary of strength” in verse thirty-one is ‘miqdash’ and represents the sanctuary of Rome’s strength, which for both pagan and papal Rome was the city of Rome. From the battle of Actium, when Octavian united the empire, pagan Rome was invincible for three hundred and sixty years (a time) in fulfilment of verse twenty-four of Daniel eleven.

“Awatukuvu ey’amaanyi” mu lunyiriri olw’amakumi asatu mu lumu ye *miqdash*, era ekiikirira awatukuvu aw’amaanyi ga Rooma, nga eri Rooma ey’obupagaani ne Rooma eya paapa kyali kibuga kya Rooma. Okuva ku lutalo lw’e Akutiyamu, Okitaviyani lwe yagatta obwakabaka, Rooma ey’obupagaani yali etawangulwa okumala emyaka ebikumi bisatu mu nkaaga (ekiseera) mu kutuukiriza okw’olunyiriri olw’amakumi abiri mu buna olwa Danyeri kkumi n’emu.

He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.

Aliyingira mu mirembe ne mu bifo ebisinga obugagga mu ssaza; era alikola ekyo bajjajjaabe kye bataakola, newaakubadde bajjajja ba bajjajjaabe; alibasaasanyiza omuyiggo, n’omunyago, n’obugagga: weewaawo, aliteesa enkwe ze ku biggwe eby’amaanyi, naye okumala ekiseera. Danyeri 11:24.

When pagan Rome ruled from the city of Rome it was invincible, but when Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople in 330, the “time” of verse twenty-four was fulfilled. When the last of the three horns (the Goths) of Daniel seven were driven out of the city, papal Rome prophetically took the throne as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 538. The Goths had besieged Rome, but ultimately retreated as Belsarius, general for Justinian secured the city. The Roman church then ruled supremely for twelve hundred and sixty years until Napoleon had the pope removed and put in exile in 1798.

Awo Roma ey’abapagaani bwe yafuganga okuva mu kibuga Roma yali teyawangulika, naye Konstantino bwe yasengereza ekibuga ekikulu n’akireeta e Konstantinopo mu mwaka 330, “ekiseera” eky’olunyiriri olw’amakumi abiri mu bina ne kituukirira. Ejjembe eryasembayo ku ssatu erya Danyeri essuula ey’omusanvu (Abagoosi) bwe lyagobebwa okuva mu kibuga, Roma eya papapa mu bunnabbi n’etwala entebe y’obwakabaka ng’obwakabaka obwokutaano obw’obunnabbi bwa Bayibuli mu 538. Abagoosi baali bazingizza Roma, naye oluvannyuma ne baddirayo nga Belesaliyo, omuduumizi wa Justiniani, amaze okunyweza ekibuga. Ekkanisa y’Abaruumi olwo n’efuga n’obuyinza obw’enjawulo okumala emyaka lukumi mu bikumi bibiri mu nkaaga okutuusa Napoliyoni bwe yaggyaawo papa n’amutwala mu buwanganguse mu 1798.

Rome, “the sanctuary of strength” was “polluted,” (polluted, meaning ‘wounded or dissolved’), through the “arms” from the ongoing warfare against the city, represented primarily by the first four trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.

Rooma, “ekifo ekitukuvu eky’amaanyi” kyayonoonebwa, (kyayonoonebwa, amakulu gaakyo nti “kyafumitibwa oba kyasaanuuka”), olw’“emikono” egyava mu ntalo ezaali zigenda mu maaso okulwanyisa ekibuga, ezikiikirirwa okusingira ddala amakondeere ana asooka aga mu Okubikkulirwa essuula ey’omunaana.

The history that ensued from 496 onward would see the city of Rome polluted as it changed from the power and glory of the Roman empire unto the power and glory of the Roman Catholic empire. Those arms would take away the religion of paganism, represented by the word “daily” in the passage, as they accepted the religion of Nicene Catholicism.

Amateeka agaaddirira okuva mu mwaka gwa 496 n’okweyongerayo gaalaba ekibuga Rooma nga kyonooneka bwe kyava ku buyinza n’ekitiibwa eby’Obwakabaka bwa Rooma ne kiyingira mu buyinza n’ekitiibwa eby’Obwakabaka bwa Rooma Obukatoliki. Emikono egyo gyandiggyeewo eddiini y’obupagaani, ekiikiriddwa n’ekigambo “buli lunaku” mu kitundu ekyo, bwe baakkiriza eddiini y’Obukatoliki obwa Nikaaya.

At the battle of Vouillé, Clovis defeated the Arian Visigoths under Alaric II and took Aquitaine. In the aftermath of the victory, in 508, the Eastern emperor Anastasius I (in Constantinople) honored Clovis for his victory over the Visigoths. Gregory of Tours says that Anastasius sent Clovis' official papers making him consul. At Tours, in Saint Martin’s church, Clovis put on a purple tunic and cloak, set a diadem on his head, rode out, and scattered gold and silver to the crowd. Gregory says that from that day he was hailed as consul and recognized by the Roman emperor that Clovis was a legitimate Christian king in the west. He was rewarded for breaking the Arian Visigoths, whom Constantinople also opposed. 508 is the year the emperor in the East publicly honored the Catholic Frankish king—church, victory, and Roman legitimacy in one scene. 508 is the year the Frankish Catholic kingdom stood as the dominant Catholic power in Gaul after breaking Arian Visigoth’s rule. Clovis is the first major barbarian king to fight for Nicene Catholicism against Arian kingdoms, and thus the prototype of the French role as “eldest daughter of the Church.” Clovis represents the period of 496 unto 508 and is the alpha symbol of the symbolic marriage treaty. The thirty years from 508 unto 538 are represented by Justinian who is the omega symbol of the procession.

Mu lutalo olw’e Vouillé, Clovis yawangula ba-Visigothi Ab’Oluyigirize lwa Arian abali wansi wa Alaric II, era n’atwala Aquitaine. Oluvannyuma lw’obuwanguzi obwo, mu 508, omufuzi w’e Buvanjuba Anastasius I (mu Constantinople) yawa Clovis ekitiibwa olw’obuwanguzi bwe ku ba-Visigothi. Gregory ow’e Tours agamba nti Anastasius yasindika ebiwandiiko bya Clovis eby’obutongole ebimufuula consul. E Tours, mu kkanisa ya Omutukuvu Martin, Clovis yayambala ekkanzu eya kakobe n’omunagiro, n’ateeka ku mutwe gwe engule ya ddiademu, n’afuluma ng’ebagadde embalaasi, era n’asaasaanya zaabu ne ffeeza eri ekibiina. Gregory agamba nti okuva ku lunaku olwo yayogerwako ng’oyo ayitibwa consul, era nti omufuzi w’Abaruumi yamutegeera nga Clovis yali kabaka Omukristaayo omutuufu mu bugwanjuba. Yaweebwa empeera olw’okumenya amaanyi ga ba-Visigothi Ab’Arian, abo Constantinople nabo be baali bawakanya. 508 gwe mwaka omufuzi w’e Buvanjuba lwe yawa mu lwatu ekitiibwa kabaka w’Abafranki Omukatuliki—ekkanisa, obuwanguzi, n’obukkirizibwa obw’Abaruumi mu kifaananyi kimu. 508 gwe mwaka obwakabaka bw’Abafranki Obukatuliki lwe bwalabika nga bwe maanyi agasinga obukulu mu Gaul oluvannyuma lw’okumenya obufuzi bwa ba-Visigothi Ab’Arian. Clovis ye kabaka omubalaavu ow’olubereberye ow’amaanyi okulwanirira Obukatuliki obwa Nicene ng’awakanya obwakabaka obw’Arian, era bwe kityo ye kyokulabirako eky’olubereberye eky’omulimu gwa Bufalansa ng’“omuwala omukulu ow’Ekkanisa.” Clovis akiikirira ebbanga okuva mu 496 okutuuka mu 508, era ye kabonero ka alufa ak’endagaano ey’obufumbo ey’akabonero. Emyaka amakumi asatu okuva mu 508 okutuuka mu 538 gikiikirirwa Justinian, era oyo ye kabonero ka omega ak’olugendo olwo.

In 538, the “arms” placed the papal power on the throne of the earth for 1260 years. It was then that the symbolic treaty marriage was consummated at the conclusion of the marriage procession that had begun in 496. In 1798, the treaty marriage that had begun between the pope of Rome and Clovis of France, was disannulled when Napoleon of France divorced the papal power by having his general take the pope captive.

Mu mwaka gwa 538, “emikono” gyateeka obuyinza bwa Paapa ku ntebe y’ensi okumala emyaka 1260. Awo niwo obufumbo obw’endagaano obw’akabonero bwatuukirizibwa ku nkomerero y’olugendo lw’obufumbo olwali lutandise mu 496. Mu 1798, obufumbo obw’endagaano obwali butandise wakati wa paapa w’e Rooma ne Clovis ow’e Bufalansa, bwasesebbwaawo Napoleon ow’e Bufalansa bwe yayawukanya obuyinza bwa Paapa ng’alagira jenerali we okuwamba paapa.

The alpha symbolic papal treaty marriage, which had begun its marriage procession in 496, was consummated at the Sunday law in 538, and it was thereafter disannulled in 1798, just as was every other treaty marriage of Daniel eleven. Revelation adds to the papal marital relationship between the kings of Europe and popes of Catholicism, for the dragon of Revelation twelve is both Satan and pagan Rome’s kings.

Endagaano ey’obufumbo obw’endagaano obw’obubaka obw’akabonero ka paapa, obwatandika olugendo lwabwo olw’embaga mu 496, bwatuukirizibwa ku tteeka lya Ssande mu 538, era oluvannyuma ne busazibwamu mu 1798, nga bwe kyali ku buli bufumbo obw’endagaano obulala bwonna obw’omu Danyeri kkumi n’emu. Okubikkulirwa kwongera ku nkolagana y’obufumbo obwa paapa wakati wa bakabaka ba Bulaaya ne paapa b’Obukatoliki, kubanga ogusota ow’omu Kubikkulirwa kkumi na bbiri ye Setaani era era bakabaka ba Rooma eky’Obupagaani.

“Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 439.

“Bwe kityo nga ekisota, okusingira ddala, kikiikirira Sitaani, era mu ngeri ey’okubiri, kye kabonero ka Rooma eky’obupagaani.” The Great Controversy, 439.

In Revelation John informs us of three things the kings (the dragon) gave to the sea beast of Catholicism.

Mu Okubikkulirwa, Yokaana atutegeeza ebintu bisatu bakabaka (ogusota) bye baawa ensolo ey’omu nnyanja eya Obukatoliki.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 13:2.

N’ensolo gye nnalaba yali efaanana ng’engo, n’ebigere byayo nga bigere bya ddubu, n’akamwa kaayo ng’akamwa k’empologoma: era ogusota n’egiwa obuyinza bwayo, n’entebe yaayo, n’obuyinza bungi. Okubikkulirwa 13:2.

In 496, the kings of Europe began providing the papal beast their “power” as represented by their military might and economic support. They had moved the capital of their empire to Constantinople in 330, leaving the city of Rome as the “seat” of the papal authority. The “arms” thereafter identified the papal church as the head of all churches in 533 with the decree of Justinian. The decree included the use of their military might to persecute those who the papacy identified as heretics, thus placing their civil “authority” into the hands of the popes.

Mu mwaka gwa 496, bakabaka ba Bulaaya baatandika okuwa ensolo ey’obwapapa “amaanyi” gaayo, nga kino kyali kiragibwa obusobozi bwabwe obw’eggye n’obuyambi bwabwe obw’ebyenfuna. Baali bamaze okusengula ekibuga ekikulu eky’obwakabaka bwabwe okukitwala e Constantinople mu mwaka gwa 330, ne baleka ekibuga Rooma nga kye “entebe” y’obuyinza bw’obwapapa. “Emikono” oluvannyuma gyayawula ekkanisa ey’obwapapa ng’omutwe gw’amakkanisa gonna mu mwaka gwa 533 olw’ekiragiro kya Justinian. Ekiragiro ekyo kyazingiramu n’okukozesa amaanyi gaabwe ag’eggye okuyigganya abo obwapapa be bwalabanga ng’abajeemu b’enzikiriza, bwe kityo ne bateeka “obuyinza” bwabwe obw’obwannakyewa mu mikono gya ba Paapa.

The alpha treaty marriage between the papacy and the kings of Europe began with Clovis in 496. By 508, paganism, the legal religion of the realm was set aside for the religion of Nicene Catholicism. In 533, Justinian identified the papacy as the head of all churches, and surrendered the legal authority of their respective thrones unto the papal power.

Endagaano eyasooka ey’obufumbo obw’endagaano wakati w’obwapapa ne bakabaka ba Bulaaya yatandika ne Clovis mu mwaka 496. Okutuuka mu 508, obusamize, obwali eddiini ey’amateeka ey’obwakabaka, bwateekebwa ku bbali olw’eddiini ya Katolika ow’e Nicaea. Mu 533, Justinian yalangirira obwapapa ng’omutwe gw’amakanisa gonna, era nawaayo obuyinza obw’amateeka obw’entebe zaabwe ez’obwakabaka eri obuyinza bw’obwapapa.

The Alpha and Omega Seat

Entebe ya Alufa ne Omega

In 330, the city of Rome was left in the hands of the Roman church where she would be seated until she is destroyed in the lake of fire at Christ’s second coming. In 538, she was officially seated again upon the papal throne, thus identifying the history of 330 unto 538 as a prophetic period that begins with an alpha seat and ends with an omega seat. The period represents the ending of the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy (Pergamos) as a progressive demise beginning in 330 and ending in 538 with the arrival of Thyatira. Both western and eastern Rome continued the slow dissolution beyond 538, but the period began with giving the seat, representing the city of Rome to the papacy in 330, until the seat became not simply a throne over the city, but over the kingdom represented by the city in 538.

Mu mwaka gwa 330, ekibuga kya Rooma kyaleekebwa mu mikono gy’ekkanisa y’Abaruumi, gye kyandituulirwa okutuusa lwe kirizikirizibwa mu nnyanja ey’omuliro mu kujja kwa Kristo okw’okubiri. Mu mwaka gwa 538, kyatuuzibwa nate mu butongole ku ntebe ey’obwapapa, bwe kityo ne kimanyisa ebyafaayo okuva mu 330 okutuuka mu 538 ng’ekiseera eky’obunnabbi ekitandika n’entebe ya alfa ne kiggweerera ku ntebe ya omega. Ekiseera ekyo kikiikirira enkomerero y’obwakabaka obw’okuna obw’obunnabbi bwa Bayibuli (Perugamo) ng’okugwa okw’empola okutandikira mu 330 ne kuggweerera mu 538 n’okutuuka kwa Siyatira. Rooma ey’ebugwanjuba ne Rooma ey’ebuvanjuba byombi byeyongera mu kusaanuuka okw’empola oluvannyuma lwa 538, naye ekiseera ekyo kyatandika n’okuwa entebe, ekitegeeza ekibuga kya Rooma, eri obwapapa mu 330, okutuusa entebe lwe yatandika obutategeeza bukulembeze ku kibuga kyokka, wabula ne ku bwakabaka obukiikirirwa ekibuga mu 538.

330 to 538 is a specific prophetic period that defines the ‘eight’ waymarks of the papacy’s empowerment. Those eight steps are repeated in the healing of the papacy’s deadly wound at the soon-coming Sunday law.

330 okutuuka ku 538 kye kiseera kya nnabbi eky’enjawulo ekinnyonnyola obubonero munaana obw’okunywezebwa kw’obwa Papa. Emitendera egyo munaana gyeddamu mu kuwonyezebwa kw’olumbe olw’obutta olw’Obwa Papa ku mateeka ga Ssande agagenda okudda amangu.

The first of the eight steps was the giving of the city of Rome to the papal power, and the eighth step was the giving of the city as the throne of the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. This identifies 538 as the seat, and as ‘the eighth step, that is of the previous seven steps.’ The first step was the giving of the seat and the eighth step was the giving of the seat; thus, the first step in 330 is the alpha and 538 is the omega. Two seats, three horns removed, the daily taken away, Clovis’ conversion and Justinian’s decree equal eight total steps that identify the marriage procession, and ultimately the marriage.

Eyasooka ku mitendera munaana gyali okuweebwa kw’ekibuga Rooma eri obuyinza bwa papa, era omutendera ogw’omunaana gwali okuweebwa kw’ekibuga ng’entebe y’obwakabaka obw’okutaano obw’obunnabbi bwa Bayibuli. Kino kitegeeza 538 ng’entebe, era ng’“omutendera ogw’omunaana, gwe gwa mitendera omusanvu egyasooka.” Omutendera ogusooka gwali okuweebwa kw’entebe era omutendera ogw’omunaana gwali okuweebwa kw’entebe; bwe kityo, omutendera ogusooka mu 330 gwe alfa era 538 gwe omega. Entebe bbiri, amahembe asatu okuggyibwawo, ekyo ekya buli lunaku okuggyibwawo, okukyuka kwa Klovaasi n’ekiragiro kya Yusitiniyaani byenkana mitendera munaana gyonna egiraga entambula y’obugole, era ku nkomerero obufumbo.

In 1798, France, the power who had represented the ten European kings, who placed the papacy on the throne in 538, removed the papacy from that very throne. The alpha treaty marriage represented in the history of 538 unto 1798 typifies the omega treaty marriage of the papal power with the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The marriage procession from 496 unto 538 typifies eight steps that align with the last eight presidents of the United States. Clovis and France are symbols of the ten European kings. They represent the United States who will become the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Mu mwaka gwa 1798, Bufaransa, amaani aga gaali gakiikiridde bakabaka kkumi ab’e Bulaaya, era agaateeka obwapapa ku ntebe mu 538, bwaggya obwapapa ku ntebe eyo yennyini. Obufumbo bw’endagaano obwa alufa obukiikiriddwa mu byafaayo okuva mu 538 okutuuka mu 1798, bukiikirira obufumbo bw’endagaano obwa omega obw’amaanyi ga papal n’abakabaka kkumi ab’omu Okubikkulirwa essuula kkumi na musanvu. Olugendo lw’obufumbo okuva mu 496 okutuuka mu 538 lukiikirira emitendera munaana egyesengekera ku ba pulezidenti munaana abasembayo aba Amerika. Clovis ne Bufaransa bibeera bubonero bwa bakabaka kkumi ab’e Bulaaya. Bakiikirira Amerika ey’oluvannyuma eneefuuka kabaka asinga obukulu ku bakabaka kkumi ab’omu Okubikkulirwa essuula kkumi na musanvu mu mateeka ga Ssande agali kumpi okujja.

The five previous treaty marriages of Daniel eleven align with the sixth and final treaty marriage of the latter days. The alpha and omega treaty marriages of north and south identify the bride from the south as the alpha and the omega is a bride from the north. In the treaty marriages of pagan Rome, the alpha bride from the east was given to the west, and the omega of 313 was a bride from the west. Those four marriages are prophetically linked together by Cleopatra the first and Cleopatra the last. The symbolic treaty marriage of papal Rome represented the groom as the premier king of a prophetic confederacy of ten kings joining with their bride—the scarlet woman of Rome. The divorce was carried out by the premier king of the ten kings in 1798.

Amagezi g’endagaano ez’okufumbiriganwa etaano ezaasooka eziri mu Danyeri kkumi na emu zikwatagana n’endagaano ey’omukaaga era ey’enkomerero ey’okufumbiriganwa ey’ennaku ez’oluvannyuma. Amagezi agasooka n’ag’enkomerero ag’endagaano ez’obukiikakkono n’obukiikaddyo galaga omugole okuva obukiikaddyo nga ye asooka, ate ey’enkomerero ye mugole ava obukiikakkono. Mu ndagaano ez’okufumbiriganwa ez’e Rooma ey’abapagaani, omugole asooka okuva ebuvanjuba yaweebwayo eri obugwanjuba, era enkomerero ya 313 yali mugole okuva obugwanjuba. Emifumbo egyo ena gikwataganyizibwa wamu mu nnabbiya olw’a Kleopatra eyasooka ne Kleopatra ow’enkomerero. Endagaano ey’akabonero ey’okufumbiriganwa eya Rooma eya paapa yalaga omugole omusajja nga ye kabaka asinga obukulu mu kibiina eky’obunnabbi eky’bakabaka ekkumi nga yeegatta n’omugole we — omukazi omumyufu ogw’envumbo ow’e Rooma. Okuggattululwa kwatuukirizibwa kabaka oyo asinga obukulu ow’omu bakabaka ekkumi mu 1798.

The treaty marriage of 313 represents the final treaty marriage of the papal power with the United States—the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings; a two horned power that is typified by the two horned power of France. The history that began with Clovis in 496 and ultimately led to the decree of Justinian in 533 and the enthronement of the papacy in 538, represents the history of 1989 unto the Sunday law.

Amakago ag’endagaano aga mu mwaka gwa 313 gategeeza amakago ag’enkomerero aga maanyi ga obwapapa ge galina n’Amerika—kabaka asinga obukulu mu bakabaka ekkumi ab’omu Okubikkulirwa essuula kkumi na musanvu; obuyinza obulina amayembe abiri, obulabikira mu kifaananyi ky’obuyinza obulina amayembe abiri obwa Bufalansa. Ebyafaayo ebyatandika ne Clovis mu 496 ne bisuubira okutuuka ku kiragiro kya Justinian mu 533 n’okutuuza obwapapa ku ntebe mu 538, bitegeeza ebyafaayo okuva mu 1989 okutuuka ku mateeka ga Ssande.
