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

Сөнөгиниң пәйғәмбәрлик алаһидилиги — Ишая ениқлиғандәк, иттипақлишиштур.

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.

Himpunkanlah dirimu, hai bangsa-bangsa, maka kamu akan diremukkan; dan pasanglah telinga, hai semua yang dari negeri-negeri yang jauh: berikatpingganglah, maka kamu akan diremukkan; berikatpingganglah, maka kamu akan diremukkan. Rancangkanlah bersama-sama, maka itu akan menjadi sia-sia; ucapkanlah suatu perkataan, maka itu tidak akan tegak: karena Allah menyertai kami. Sebab demikianlah Tuhan berfirman kepadaku dengan tangan yang kuat, dan mengajar aku supaya jangan berjalan di jalan bangsa ini, dengan mengatakan, Janganlah kamu menyebut persekutuan, segala sesuatu yang oleh bangsa ini disebut persekutuan; dan janganlah kamu takut akan apa yang mereka takuti, dan janganlah gentar. Kuduskanlah Tuhan semesta alam itu sendiri; biarlah Dia menjadi ketakutanmu, dan biarlah Dia menjadi kegentaranmu. Maka Ia akan menjadi tempat kudus; tetapi juga menjadi batu sandungan dan gunung batu yang mendatangkan kejatuhan bagi kedua kaum Israel, menjadi jerat dan perangkap bagi penduduk Yerusalem. Dan banyak di antara mereka akan tersandung, lalu jatuh dan remuk, akan terjerat dan tertangkap. Bungkuslah kesaksian itu, meteraikanlah hukum Taurat di antara murid-muridku. Yesaya 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.

Di hari-hari terakhir, pada masa pemeteraian seratus empat puluh empat ribu, ketika Yesaya berkata, “Ikatlah kesaksian itu, meteraikanlah hukum di antara murid-murid-Ku,” ada suatu “konfederasi jahat” di planet bumi. Penting untuk dipahami bahwa sejarah Amerika Serikat yang mengarah kepada undang-undang hari Minggu sedang melambangkan lebih dahulu peristiwa-peristiwa yang sama pada tingkat global.

“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.

“Masaba yaŵanji ghazamurondezga chiyelezgero cha United States. Nangauli ndiyo wakudangilira, kweni suzgo lenelira lizamkwizira ŵanthu ŵithu mu vigaŵa vyose vya charu chapasi.” Testimonies, volume 6, 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.

Siostur White goah geahtegh cur ennagh ta’n “cheshaght olk” shen, as t’eh goaill toshiaght er y leih-reeidys lhiassagheyagh jeh ny globalistee noa-aimseyragh.

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

“Tuhan berfirman melalui nabi Yesaya: Yesaya 8:9–13 dipetik.”

“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.

“Go na le ba ba botsang gore a go siame gore Bakeresete ba nne maloko a ba Free Masons le mekgatlho e mengwe ya sephiri. A botlhe ba ba ntseng jalo ba akanyetse Dikwalo tse di sa tswang go umakiwa.

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.”

Persekutuan jahat pada akhir zaman dikaitkan dengan Freemason dan perkumpulan-perkumpulan rahasia lainnya. Agamanya ialah spiritualisme, dan persekutuan itu terdiri daripada para bankir dunia serta saudagar-saudagar bilionair di bumi, yang “memusatkan kekayaan dan kuasa dunia,” dan yang memajukan gerakan-gerakan seperti Antifa dan Black Lives Matter untuk membangkitkan “semangat kegelisahan, rusuhan dan pertumpahan darah” pada suatu “skala sedunia,” dalam suatu usaha untuk mengulangi anarki “Revolusi Perancis.”

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.

“മനുഷ്യർ വീഴ്ചവന്നവരല്ലാത്ത അർദ്ധദേവന്മാരാണെന്നും; ‘ഓരോ മനസ്സും താനെത്തന്നെ ന്യായവിധി ചെയ്യും’ എന്നും; ‘യഥാർത്ഥ ജ്ഞാനം മനുഷ്യരെ സകല നിയമത്തിനുമപ്പുറം സ്ഥാപിക്കുന്നു’ എന്നും; ‘ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്ന സകല പാപങ്ങളും നിർദോഷങ്ങളാണ്’ എന്നും—കാരണം ‘എന്തുണ്ടോ അതു തന്നേ ശരിയാണ്,’ കൂടാതെ ‘ദൈവം കുറ്റം വിധിക്കുന്നില്ല’ എന്നും—സ്പിരിച്ച്വലിസം പ്രസ്താവിക്കുന്നു. ഏറ്റവും അധമരായ മനുഷ്യരെയും അതു സ്വർഗത്തിൽ, അവിടെ അത്യുന്നതമായി മഹത്വീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ടവരായി, ചിത്രീകരിക്കുന്നു. ഇങ്ങനെ അത് സകല മനുഷ്യരോടും പ്രഖ്യാപിക്കുന്നു: ‘നിങ്ങൾ എന്തു ചെയ്താലും കാര്യമില്ല; ഇഷ്ടമുള്ളപോലെ ജീവിക്കൂ; സ്വർഗം നിങ്ങളുടെ ഭവനമാണ്.’ ഇങ്ങനെ അനേകർ മോഹം തന്നെയാണ് പരമോന്നത നിയമമെന്ന്, സ്വൈരജീവിതം തന്നെയാണ് സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യമെന്ന്, മനുഷ്യൻ തനിക്കുതന്നെയല്ലാതെ മറ്റാരോടും ഉത്തരവാദിയല്ലെന്ന് വിശ്വസിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു നയിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.

“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.

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.

စဉ်းစားဆင်ခြင်တတ်သူ မည်သူမဆို မိမိကိုယ်ကို ဤသို့ မေးမြန်းသင့်သည်—မကြာသေးမီက Davos တွင် ကျင်းပခဲ့သော အစည်းအဝေးများကဲ့သို့သော စည်းဝေးပွဲများ၌၊ ကမ္ဘာမြေပေါ်ရှိ ကျန်လူထုအပေါ် လုံးဝ ထည့်သွင်းစဉ်းစားမှုမရှိဘဲ ကမ္ဘာမြေကြီးအတွက် မိမိတို့၏ အစီအစဉ်များကို လူအချို့ ဖော်ပြနေကြရာတွင်၊ အမှန်တကယ် ဘာများ ဖြစ်ပျက်နေသနည်း။ ထိုနေရာ၌ မည်သို့သော လျှို့ဝှက်ချက်များကို ဆွေးနွေးခဲ့ကြသနည်း။ အမှန်တော့ Davos သည် ကမ္ဘာမြေကြီးအတွက် မိမိတို့၏ မြင့်မားချီးမြှောက်ထားသော အစီအစဉ်များကို ရေးဆွဲဖော်ထုတ်ကြသော ကမ္ဘာ့ဘီလျံနာများ၊ ဘဏ်ရှင်များ၊ ဖောက်ပြန်ယိုယွင်းနေသော နိုင်ငံရေးသမားများနှင့် ကိုယ်ကျင့်တရားဖောက်ပြန်သော လူတို့၏ လျှို့ဝှက်၍ ဝင်ခွင့်ကန့်သတ်ထားသော အစည်းအဝေးများအနက်မှ တစ်ခုမျှသာ ဖြစ်သည်။

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.

“Katika siku hizi za mwisho, yanaibuka mafundisho ya uongo ya ajabu na nadharia zilizobuniwa na wanadamu ambazo Mungu anatangaza kwamba zitavunjwa vipande-vipande. Roho ya tamaa ya mali imewaongoza watu kutafuta faida ya kidunia, na kwa ubadhirifu na majivuno wamejaribu kuficha matendo yao maovu waliyoyatenda ili kufikia kusudi lao. Watu wanaoshika nyadhifa za juu za uaminifu wameudhihirisha utamani huu usio halali wa kujipatia faida; wamefanya dhuluma na unyang’anyi, na wameziridhisha tamaa mbaya za mioyo yao, hata miji yetu imeharibika kwa sababu ya uovu wao. Mungu ametangaza kwamba atazifunua kazi hizi za udanganyifu na unyang’anyi kwa utendaji wake wenyewe. Katika baadhi ya hali, hukumu za Mungu tayari zimeangukia miji hii kwa uzito mkuu.”

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

“Isaiah 8:8–12 dipetik.” Review and Herald, 18 Julai 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.

Magaalooyinkii waa la musuqmaasuqay, sida lagu sii sheegay tuducii hore, musuqmaasuqaasna waxaa keenay isbahaysiga sharka leh ee ku xusan Ishacyaah cutubka siddeedaad. Waxaa musuqmaasuqay “rag haya jagooyin sare oo lagu aamino” kuwaas oo “muujiyey” “damacooda sharci-darrada ah ee faa’iido-doonka.” Magaalooyinka musuqmaasuqmay si fudud ayaa loogu arki karaa gobollada ay xeer-ilaaliyayaashooda guud lagu doortay lacagaha shuuciyiinta sida George Soros. Waxaa la arki karaa marka sharciyo hore loo dejiyey aan la dhaqan-gelin ay sabab u yihiin siyaasiyiin musuqmaasuqmay oo jooga Washington, DC. Waxaa kaloo lagu arki karaa sharciyo loo adeegsado oo keliya kuwa dhinaca kale ka jooga kala duwanaanshaha siyaasadeed, sida ay tusaale ugu yihiin shakhsiyaad ay ka mid yihiin Nancy Pelosi iyo 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.

Dalam pelanggaran dan dusta terhadap TUHAN, dan berpaling dari Allah kita, mengucapkan penindasan dan pemberontakan, mengandung dan melahirkan dari hati perkataan-perkataan dusta. Dan hukum telah dipalingkan ke belakang, dan keadilan berdiri jauh; sebab kebenaran telah rebah di jalan, dan kelurusan tidak dapat masuk. Ya, kebenaran lenyap; dan orang yang menjauhi kejahatan menjadikan dirinya mangsa; dan TUHAN melihatnya, dan hal itu jahat di mata-Nya, bahwa tidak ada keadilan. Yesaya 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.

Dalam petikan sebelumnya dari Review and Herald, orang-orang yang menduduki jawatan tinggi yang dipercayakan dikenal pasti sebagai ahli-ahli politik yang telah rosak, yang portfolio Wall Street mereka sentiasa melebihi pulangan terbaik yang mungkin, kerana pekerjaan perundangan mereka dalam menghalalkan “insider trading” bagi diri mereka sendiri, dan bagi tiada siapa yang lain. Tinjau sejarah Martha Stewart. Kota-kota dalam petikan itu telah dirosakkan oleh kefasikan mereka, dan hal ini khususnya nyata dalam kota-kota dan negeri-negeri yang diperintah oleh Demokrat globalis.

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.

Ketelotan jahat pada akhir zaman terdiri daripada naga, binatang itu dan nabi palsu, dan binatang itu serta nabi palsu mempunyai ciri-ciri kenabian jahat mereka sendiri, tetapi ciri-ciri yang begitu nyata dalam globalisme liberal ialah sifat-sifat naga itu.

“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.

“Wahyu 17:13–14 dipetik. ‘Mereka seia sekata.’ Akan wujud suatu ikatan persatuan sejagat, suatu keselarasan besar, suatu pakatan antara kuasa-kuasa Syaitan. ‘Dan akan menyerahkan kuasa dan kekuatan mereka kepada binatang itu.’ Demikianlah dinyatakan kuasa yang sama sewenang-wenang dan menindas terhadap kebebasan beragama, kebebasan untuk menyembah Tuhan menurut tuntutan hati nurani, sebagaimana telah dinyatakan oleh kepausan, ketika pada masa lampau ia menganiaya mereka yang berani menolak untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan ritus dan upacara keagamaan Romanisme.

“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.

“Dalam peperangan yang akan berkecamuk pada hari-hari terakhir akan bersatu, dalam perlawanan terhadap umat Allah, segala kuasa yang telah rusak dan yang telah murtad daripada kesetiaan kepada hukum Yehuwa. Dalam peperangan ini Sabat hukum yang keempat akan menjadi pokok pertikaian yang besar; kerana dalam perintah Sabat itu, Pemberi Hukum yang agung memperkenalkan diri-Nya sebagai Pencipta langit dan bumi.” 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.

Nna yi bɛsusu nneɛma a ɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛ mu suban a aboa no ne Protestants a wɔasane wɔn akyi no wɔ nsɛm a edi hɔ no mu.

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.

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.

“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.’

“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.

“Dunia ialah suatu pentas. Para pelakonnya, iaitu penduduknya, sedang bersiap untuk memainkan peranan mereka dalam drama besar yang terakhir. Allah tidak lagi diendahkan. Dalam kalangan massa besar umat manusia tidak ada kesatuan, kecuali apabila manusia bersekongkol untuk mencapai tujuan mementingkan diri mereka. Allah sedang memerhatikan. Tujuan-Nya berkenaan dengan subjek-subjek-Nya yang memberontak akan digenapi. Dunia tidak diserahkan ke dalam tangan manusia, walaupun Allah mengizinkan unsur-unsur kekeliruan dan kekacauan berkuasa untuk suatu musim. Suatu kuasa dari bawah sedang bekerja untuk mendatangkan adegan-adegan besar yang terakhir dalam drama itu,—Iblis datang sebagai Kristus, dan bekerja dengan segala tipu daya kecurangan dalam kalangan mereka yang sedang mengikat diri bersama dalam perkumpulan-perkumpulan rahsia. Mereka yang menyerah kepada nafsu untuk bersekongkol sedang melaksanakan rancangan musuh. Sebab itu akan diikuti oleh akibatnya.”

“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.

“Pelanggaran hampir mencapai batasnya. Kekacauan memenuhi dunia, dan suatu kedahsyatan besar segera akan menimpa manusia. Kesudahan sudah sangat dekat. Kita yang mengetahui kebenaran seharusnya sedang mempersiapkan diri bagi apa yang segera akan menimpa dunia sebagai suatu kejutan yang luar biasa.” Review and Herald, 10 September 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.

Исламын гурав дахь гай удалгүй “мянга мянган хот”-д цохилт өгөх гэж байна, харин Лаодикийн Адвентизмд удахгүй тохиох гэж буй сүйрлийг огтхон ч мэдрэх ухаан алга. Исаиагийн өгүүлсэн хорон холбоо өөрийн ажлыг гүйцэтгэж буй тэр цаг үед, “доороос гарч ирэх” сатаны нэгэн “хүч” байж, тэр нь “жүжгийн хамгийн сүүлчийн агуу үзэгдлүүдийг бий болгохоор ажиллаж” байдаг бөгөөд эдгээр зүйлс “даван ирэхүйц гэнэтийн зүйл” мэт ирдэг. Трампын эсрэг үйлдэгдэж буй солиорол нь доороос гарч ирэх нэгэн хүчнээс үүдэлтэй. Энэ нь дэлхийн түүхийн сүүлчийн үзэгдлүүдийн нэг бүрэлдэхүүн мөн.

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.

Seno se se a tshwanetse go tlhaloganngwa e le go tshegetsa Trump; ke Lefoko la Modimo fela, le le sa palelweng le ka motlha. Mo nakong ya go tshwaya ba ba dikete di le lekgolo le masome a manè a manè, Modimo o tšhollela maatla a Gagwe go tswa kwa godimo, fa Satane ene a dirisa maatla a gagwe go tswa kwa tlase.

“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.

“Ambiranya kita hendak memiliki roh dan kuasa pekabaran malaikat yang ketiga, kita mesti memberitakan hukum dan Injil bersama-sama, kerana keduanya berjalan seiring. Sebagaimana suatu kuasa dari bawah sedang menghasut anak-anak ketidaktaatan untuk membatalkan hukum Allah, dan menginjak-injak kebenaran bahawa Kristus ialah kebenaran kita, demikian juga suatu kuasa dari atas sedang menggerakkan hati mereka yang setia, untuk meninggikan hukum itu, dan mengangkat Yesus sebagai Juruselamat yang sempurna. Kecuali kuasa ilahi dibawa ke dalam pengalaman umat Allah, teori-teori dan gagasan-gagasan palsu akan menawan fikiran, Kristus dan kebenaran-Nya akan tersisih daripada pengalaman banyak orang, dan iman mereka akan menjadi tanpa kuasa atau kehidupan.” Gospel Workers, 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.

Pawulo wa Setana lowu vonakaka emahlweni ka, ni lowu yisaka emahlweni ku fikela eka nawu wa Sonto lowu taka hi ku hatlisa, wu kombisa hi xikombiso xiendlo xa nkoka swinene xa matimba ya Setana lexi humelelaka eka nawu wa Sonto lowu taka hi ku hatlisa.

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.

“Ka le taikhoh kaba pynbor ïa ka jingthung ïa ka Papacy kaba pyrshah ïa ka hukum U Blei, ka ri jong ngi kan bynta noh ïalade pura na ka hok. Ynda ka Protestantism kan kner ïa ka kti jong ka lyngba kata ka thliew ban bat ïa ka kti jong ka bor Roman, ynda kan kner shalor kata ka jingïam jingïap ban ïasoh kti bad ka Spiritualism, ynda, hapoh ka jingïalam jong kane ka jingïasnoh lang kaba lai bynta, ka ri jong ngi kan kyntait ïa man la ka nongrim jong ka Constitution jong ka kum ka sorkar Protestant bad republican, bad kan pynkhreh lad na ka bynta ka jingïathuh paidbah ïa ki jinglamler bad ki jingshukor papal, te nangta ngin lah ban tip ba ka por ka la wan na ka bynta ka jingtrei phylla jong U Soitan bad ba ka jingïapkut ka la jan.” Testimonies, volume 5, 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.

Kgosing e bjale e tšwago fase, e bile e bonagatša mediro ya yona ka baemedi ba lefase ka bophara ba noga kua United States, e tla boeletšwa ditšhabeng tša lefase ge molao wa Lamorena o fihla. Le gona bjale, ditšhaba tša lefase di bonagatša bohlanya bjo bo swanago bja ka godimo ga tlhago mabapi le 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.

“Bangsa-bangsa asing akan mengikuti teladan Amerika Syarikat. Meskipun dia memimpin, namun krisis yang sama akan menimpa umat kita di seluruh bahagian dunia.” Testimonies, jilid 6, 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.

Apa yang ditakrifkan oleh pihak Republikan di Amerika Syarikat sebagai kegilaan pada pihak Demokrat dalam penentangan mereka yang tidak logik terhadap Trump, sebenarnya merupakan suatu manifestasi luar biasa kuasa Iblis yang menggenapi Daniel fasal sebelas, ayat dua. Trump, presiden keenam sejak masa kesudahan pada tahun 1989, seharusnya “membangkitkan” (membangunkan), para globalis sosialis di seluruh dunia. Kebencian terhadapnya bersifat luar biasa, dan hal itu melambangkan lebih awal manifestasi kuasa Iblis yang akan datang dalam kadar yang lebih besar pada undang-undang Hari Ahad yang akan segera tiba.

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.

Go bonagatšwa ga maatla a a tswang kwa tlase, go ya ka pego ya Kgaitsadi White, go diragala mo nakong ya kgolagano eo e bosula, e Baebele ya Isaia e tlhagisang ka yone mo kgaolong ya borobedi, mme mo nakong eo go tsenngwa sekano ga batho ba Modimo go a diragala.

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

Pusatkan kesaksian itu, meterailah hukum Taurat itu di antara murid-murid-Ku. Yesaya 8:16.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Re tla tšwela pele ka thuto ye sehlogong se se latelago.

“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.

“Okumangazayo okuyethusayo okunesimo esingaphezu kwemvelo kuzambulwa maduze ezulwini, kube uphawu lwamandla amadimoni enza izimangaliso. Imimoya yodeveli iyophuma iye emakhosini omhlaba nakuwo wonke umhlaba, ukuze iwabophe ekukhohlisweni, futhi iwashukumisele ukuba ahlangane noSathane emzabalazweni wakhe wokugcina wokulwa nombuso wezulu. Ngalezi zindlela, ababusi nezikhonzi bayokukhohliswa ngokufanayo. Kuyovela abantu abazenza uKristu uqobo Lwakhe, befuna isiqu nokukhulekelwa okungokukaMhlengi womhlaba. Bayokwenza izimangaliso ezimangalisayo zokuphulukisa, futhi bayakuzisho ukuthi banezambulo ezivela ezulwini eziphikisa ubufakazi bemiBhalo.”

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.

“Bagaimana tindakan puncak dalam drama besar penipuan itu, Sétan sandiri akan manyaru sabagai Almasih. Garija sudah lawas mangaku manatap kadatangan Juruslamat sabagai panggenapan puncak sagala pangharapannya. Hunya, panipu besar itu akan mambuat saolah-olah Almasih sudah datang. Di berbagai bahagian bumi, Sétan akan manyatakan dirinya di tangah manusia sabagai sosok yang agung dengan cahaya yang manyilaukan, manyarupai gambaran tentang Anak Allah nang dibariakan ulih Yahya dalam Wahyu. Wahyu 1:13–15. Kamuliaan nang mangalilinginya kada tatandingi ulih apa pun jua nang balum parnah dilihat ulih mata fana. Sorak kamangan bagumuruh di udara: ‘Almasih sudah datang! Almasih sudah datang!’ Urang banyak tasungkur manyambah di hadapannya, samantara inya mangangkat tangannya lalu mangucapkan barakat atas urang-urang itu, sakaya Almasih mambarakati murid-murid-Nya waktu Ia ada di bumi. Suaranya halus wan landai, tapi penuh kamerduan. Dengan nada yang lemah-lambut wan balas asih, inya manyampaikan sabagian dari kabanaran sorgawi nang murah hati, sama jua kaya nang pernah diucapkan ulih Juruslamat; inya manyambuhkan panyakit urang banyak, lalu, dalam parannya nang dipura-purakan sabagai Almasih, inya mangaku sudah mangubah hari Sabat manjadi hari Minggu, wan marintahakan samua urang supaya manguduskan hari nang sudah diberkatinya itu. Inya manyatakan bahwa urang-urang nang tatap batutut dalam manguduskan hari katujuh sabagai hujat tarhadap namanya lantaran manulak mandangar malaikat-malaikatnya nang diutus ka marika mambawa tarang wan kabanaran. Inilah tipuan nang kuat, hampir-hampir kada takalahkan. Sakaya urang Samaria nang tatipu ulih Simon Magus, khalayak banyak, matan nang paling damit sampai nang paling ganal, manggubris sihir-sihir ini sambil bakata: Inilah ‘kuasa Allah nang besar.’ Kisah Rasul-Rasul 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.

“Гэвч Бурханы ард түмэн төөрөгдөлд орохгүй. Энэхүү хуурамч христийн сургаалууд нь Судартай нийцэхгүй. Түүний ерөөл нь араатан болон түүний хөрөгт мөргөгчдөд тунхаглагддаг бөгөөд Библи тэдний тухай Бурханы цэвэр, хольцгүй уур хилэн асгарах болно хэмээн тунхагладаг юм.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.
