It has been established upon several witnesses that in history and in prophecy Rome always comes up eighth and is of the seven. The prophetic riddle of this symbol is part of what the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals just before the close of probation. Christ never changes, and in the First and Great Disappointments of Millerite history, He revealed a truth which explained the mystery of the disappointment.
Na manggrongjaha marhite godang saksi bahwa dalam sejarah dohot dalam nubuat, Roma sai ro sahat tu posisi pa-aluan jala ibana sian na pitu i. Teka-teki nubuatan sian simbol on do sada bagian ni na dibukka singkap ni Singa sian marga Juda andorang so dipasahat naung salpu masa pangunjunan ni pardengganan. Kristus ndang dung masa marubah, jala di bagasan Haporseaon na Parjolo dohot na Umgogo dalam sejarah Millerit, Ibana patuduhon sada hatigoran na manjelashon misteri ni haporseaon i.
After the First Disappointment in Millerite history, He removed His hand from a mistake in some of the figures represented upon the 1843 chart. The mistake represented the prophetic misunderstanding that produced the Disappointment. The Millerites were ultimately led to a series of understandings, which firmly established the starting date of the twenty-three hundred days. With a firm starting point, that was primarily based upon the date of the cross, they then saw the same prophetic evidence that they had been employing to identify 1843, actually identified not only 1844, but the very day of October 22, 1844.
E feti gae a Molemo wa Pele mo historing ya ba-Millerite, O ile a tlosa seatla sa Gagwe mo phosong e neng e le mo dingwe tsa dipalo tse di neng di emetswe mo tšhate ya 1843.

After the second and Great Disappointment, the Lord once again revealed a truth which answered all the prophetic dilemmas created by their incorrect proclamation that October 22, 1844 was the Second Coming of Christ. The Lord opened the subject of the Sanctuary, and its connected truths, and the Great Disappointment was explained.
Selepas Kekecewaan yang kedua dan yang besar itu, Tuhan sekali lagi menyatakan suatu kebenaran yang menjawab segala dilema nubuatan yang timbul akibat pengisytiharan mereka yang salah bahawa 22 Oktober 1844 ialah Kedatangan Kristus yang Kedua. Tuhan membuka hal Tempat Suci, beserta kebenaran-kebenaran yang berkaitan dengannya, dan Kekecewaan Besar itu pun dijelaskan.
“As a people, we should be earnest students of prophecy; we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in 1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there performing the closing work of his priestly office, in fulfillment of the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’
“Sebagai suatu umat, kita harus menjadi pelajar nubuatan yang sungguh-sungguh; kita tidak sepatutnya berhenti sebelum kita menjadi mengerti mengenai pokok tempat kudus, yang dinyatakan dalam penglihatan-penglihatan Daniel dan Yohanes. Pokok ini memancarkan terang yang besar atas kedudukan dan pekerjaan kita pada masa kini, dan memberikan kepada kita bukti yang tidak dapat disangkal bahwa Allah telah memimpin kita dalam pengalaman kita yang lampau. Pokok ini menjelaskan kekecewaan kita pada tahun 1844, dengan menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa tempat kudus yang harus disucikan itu bukanlah bumi, sebagaimana telah kita sangkakan, melainkan bahwa Kristus pada waktu itu memasuki bilik yang mahakudus dari tempat kudus surgawi, dan di sana sedang melaksanakan pekerjaan penutup dari jabatan keimaman-Nya, sebagai penggenapan firman malaikat kepada nabi Daniel, ‘Sampai dua ribu tiga ratus petang dan pagi; kemudian tempat kudus itu akan dipulihkan dalam keadaan yang wajar.’”
“Our faith in reference to the messages of the first, second, and third angels was correct. The great way-marks we have passed are immovable. Although the hosts of hell may try to tear them from their foundation, and triumph in the thought that they have succeeded, yet they do not succeed. These pillars of truth stand firm as the eternal hills, unmoved by all the efforts of men combined with those of Satan and his host. We can learn much, and should be constantly searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so. God’s people are now to have their eyes fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going forward,—where he is interceding for his people.” Review and Herald, November 27, 1883.
“Kepercayaan kita berkenaan dengan perkhabaran malaikat pertama, kedua, dan ketiga adalah benar. Tanda-tanda penunjuk jalan yang besar, yang telah kita lalui, tidak dapat digerakkan. Meskipun bala tentera neraka mungkin berusaha mencabutnya dari asasnya, dan bersorak dalam anggapan bahawa mereka telah berjaya, namun mereka tidak berjaya. Tiang-tiang kebenaran ini tetap teguh seperti bukit-bukau yang kekal, tidak tergoyahkan oleh segala usaha manusia yang digabungkan dengan usaha Iblis dan bala tenteranya. Kita dapat mempelajari banyak perkara, dan seharusnya sentiasa menyelidiki Kitab Suci untuk melihat sama ada perkara-perkara ini demikian adanya. Umat Tuhan sekarang harus menumpukan pandangan mereka kepada Bait Suci syurgawi, tempat pelayanan terakhir Imam Besar kita yang agung dalam pekerjaan penghakiman sedang berlangsung,—tempat Dia sedang menjadi pengantara bagi umat-Nya.” Review and Herald, 27 November 1883.
The disappointment of the disciples at the crucifixion was based upon an incorrect understanding of the kingdom which Christ was to establish at the cross. John the Baptist and the apostle Paul’s ministries included the work of identifying that the dispensation of literal Israel and the literal earthly sanctuary had transitioned unto spiritual Israel and the spiritual heavenly sanctuary. The Lion of the tribe of Judah always explains the disappointment to the “wise.” The explanation of the prophetic riddle of Rome being “the eighth, but is of the seven”, is part of the work the Lion of Judah is accomplishing to explain the disappointment of July 18, 2020.
Kudumazika kwa wanafunzi wakati wa kusulubiwa kulijengwa juu ya uelewa usio sahihi wa ufalme ambao Kristo angeuweka msalabani. Huduma za Yohana Mbatizaji na mtume Paulo zilijumuisha kazi ya kutambulisha kwamba kipindi cha utawala wa Israeli halisi na patakatifu pa duniani pa halisi kilikuwa kimehamia kwa Israeli wa kiroho na patakatifu pa mbinguni pa kiroho. Simba wa kabila la Yuda daima hufafanua kudumazika huko kwa “wenye hekima.” Ufafanuzi wa fumbo la kinabii la kwamba Roma ni “wa nane, lakini ni wa wale saba,” ni sehemu ya kazi ambayo Simba wa Yuda anaitekeleza ili kufafanua kudumazika kwa Julai 18, 2020.
The Millerites saw Rome as the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and they saw the distinction between paganism and papalism, but could not see papal Rome as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Shortly after 1844, the pioneers saw that the United States was the next kingdom of Bible prophecy.
Millerites a ba ne ba bona Roma e le mmuso wa bone wa boporofeta jwa Baebele, mme ba ne ba bona pharologanyo magareng ga boheitane le bopapa, fela ba ne ba sa kgone go bona Roma ya bopapa e le mmuso wa botlhano wa boporofeta jwa Baebele. Moragonyana fela ga 1844, babulatsela ba ne ba bona gore United States e ne e le mmuso o o latelang wa boporofeta jwa Baebele.
That recognition is represented upon the 1850 pioneer chart, but their ability to recognize the full illustration of the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, as represented in Revelation chapter seventeen, was beyond their ability to comprehend, for they began to wander in the wilderness of Laodicea after their rejection of the “seven times” in 1863.
Pengenalan itu digambarkan pada carta perintis 1850, tetapi keupayaan mereka untuk mengenali gambaran penuh tentang kerajaan-kerajaan dalam nubuat Alkitab, sebagaimana yang diwakili dalam Wahyu fasal tujuh belas, adalah melampaui kemampuan mereka untuk memahaminya, kerana mereka mula mengembara di padang gurun Laodikia selepas penolakan mereka terhadap “tujuh masa” pada tahun 1863.
“The history of ancient Israel is a striking illustration of the past experience of the Adventist body. God led His people in the advent movement, even as He led the children of Israel from Egypt. In the great disappointment their faith was tested as was that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea. Had they still trusted to the guiding hand that had been with them in their past experience, they would have seen the salvation of God. If all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts. A flood of light would have been shed upon the world. Years ago the inhabitants of the earth would have been warned, the closing work completed, and Christ would have come for the redemption of His people.
“Historie Israel purba iya nyadika jaku ngagai pengalaman bansa Adventist ba lebuh suba. Allah Taala nungun sida nembiak Iya dalam pengidup gerakan advent, baka Iya nungun bansa Israel pansut ari menua Ejip. Dalam pengawa kekecewa besai nya, pengarap sida diuji baka pengarap bansa Hebrew ba Tasik Mirah. Enti sida agi terus pechaya ngagai jari pengiring ti udah enggau sida dalam pengalaman sida ke udah lalu, sida tentu deka meda penyelamat Allah Taala. Enti semua orang ke udah bekereja serak dalam pengawa nya ba taun 1844 udah nerima pesan melikat ti ketiga lalu nginjilka iya dalam kuasa Roh Kudus, Tuhan tentu udah ngereja enggau pemadu besai ngagai pengawa sida. Banjir penampak udah deka disinarka ngagai dunya. Lama suba udah, semua orang ke diau di dunya udah deka diberi amaran, pengawa pengujung udah deka ditamatka, lalu Kristus udah deka datai ungkup nebus nembiak Iya.
“It was not the will of God that Israel should wander forty years in the wilderness; He desired to lead them directly to the land of Canaan and establish them there, a holy, happy people. But ‘they could not enter in because of unbelief.’ Hebrews 3:19. Because of their backsliding and apostasy they perished in the desert, and others were raised up to enter the Promised Land. In like manner, it was not the will of God that the coming of Christ should be so long delayed and His people should remain so many years in this world of sin and sorrow. But unbelief separated them from God. As they refused to do the work which He had appointed them, others were raised up to proclaim the message. In mercy to the world, Jesus delays His coming, that sinners may have an opportunity to hear the warning and find in Him a shelter before the wrath of God shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 458.
“Dios no quiso que Israel vagara cuarenta años por el desierto; deseaba conducirlo directamente a la tierra de Canaán y establecerlo allí como un pueblo santo y feliz. Pero ‘no pudieron entrar a causa de incredulidad’. Hebreos 3:19. A causa de su infidelidad y apostasía perecieron en el desierto, y otros fueron levantados para entrar en la Tierra Prometida. De igual manera, no era la voluntad de Dios que la venida de Cristo se demorara tanto ni que su pueblo permaneciera tantos años en este mundo de pecado y tristeza. Pero la incredulidad los separó de Dios. Como rehusaron hacer la obra que Él les había señalado, otros fueron levantados para proclamar el mensaje. Por misericordia para con el mundo, Jesús demora su venida, para que los pecadores tengan oportunidad de oír la amonestación y hallar en Él un refugio antes que la ira de Dios sea derramada.” El Conflicto de los Siglos, 458.
James and Ellen White both identified that the movement had transitioned into the movement of Laodicea in 1856, and in the previous passage she identifies that “if all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts.” Then she says, “In like manner,” the “backsliding and apostasy” that ancient Israel manifested, caused ancient Israel to “perish in the desert.” The passage is identifying that Laodicean Adventism began to wander in the wilderness in the time period when those who had proclaimed the message of the Midnight Cry were still alive.
Yakobus ras Ellen White nunga dohot na patuduhon ia gerakan i nunga maralih tu gerakan Laodikea di taon 1856, jala di pasal na andorang i ibana manandai ia “molo saluhut na nungga marhagogoon rap tu bagasan ulaon i di 1844, nungga manjalo barita ni surusuruan na patoluhon jala manghotbahon i marhite hagogoon ni Tondi Parbadia, Tuhan i pasti marula dohot gagahon na bolon maradophon usaha nasida.” Dungi ibana mandok, “Songon i dope,” “mulak tu pudi dohot haporseaon na murtat” na pinapatar ni Israel na robi, mambahen Israel na robi “mago di halak ni gurun pasir.” Pasal i patuduhon ia Adventisme Laodikea mulai marhalado di halak ni gurun pasir di tingki na ro dope angka na manghotbahon barita ni Tangiang Tonga Borngin i masih mangolu.
Today the theologians (the learned) identify various applications for Revelation chapter seventeen, that are either derived from the methodology of futurism that was invented by the Jesuits, or the corrupted theological practices of apostate Protestantism. The symbols of Revelation seventeen, are very simple. We have identified the necessary symbols, so we will return to the kingdoms represented there and align them with the kingdoms of Daniel chapter two, for Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:10–12.
আর সেখানে সাত রাজা আছে: পাঁচজন পতিত হয়েছে, একজন আছে, আর অন্যজন এখনো আসে নাই; এবং যখন সে আসিবে, তখন তাহাকে অল্পকাল স্থির থাকিতে হইবে। আর যে পশুটি ছিল, এবং নাই, সেই-ই অষ্টম, এবং সে সেই সাতেরই একজন, এবং বিনাশের মধ্যে যায়। আর তুমি যে দশটি শৃঙ্গ দেখিয়াছিলে, সেগুলি দশ রাজা, যাহারা এখনো রাজ্য পায় নাই; কিন্তু পশুটির সহিত এক ঘণ্টার জন্য রাজাদের ন্যায় ক্ষমতা প্রাপ্ত হয়। প্রকাশিত বাক্য 17:10–12।
In verse three, John was spiritually conveyed to 1798. At that vantage point in history, he was told that there were five kingdoms that had already fallen. Those kingdoms were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, pagan Rome and papal Rome. William Miller could not unravel this passage in chapter seventeen, for he could not recognize that papal Rome was a distinct kingdom from pagan Rome. Yet the sequence is addressed in chapters twelve and thirteen of Revelation, for the dragon in chapter twelve represented pagan Rome, the beast that came from the sea in chapter thirteen was the papacy and the earth beast is the United States. Sister White identifies all three of these beasts as the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. In providing her testimony she identifies the sequence of the kingdoms, and the sequence agrees with the application we are making of Revelation seventeen.
У шүлгийн гуравдугаар эшлэлд Иохан сүнслэгээр 1798 он руу аваачигдсан юм. Түүхийн тэрхүү цэг дээр түүнд аль хэдийн унасан таван хаант улс байгааг хэлсэн. Тэр хаант улсууд нь Вавилон, Мидо-Перс, Грек, харь Ром, мөн папын Ром байв. Уильям Миллер арван долоодугаар бүлгийн энэ хэсгийг тайлж чадаагүй, учир нь тэрээр папын Ромыг харь Ромоос тусдаа нэгэн хаант улс гэдгийг таньж мэдэж чадаагүй юм. Гэвч энэ дарааллыг Илчлэл номын арван хоёр, арван гуравдугаар бүлгүүдэд авч үзсэн байдаг. Учир нь арван хоёрдугаар бүлгийн луу нь харь Ромыг төлөөлсөн, арван гуравдугаар бүлэгт тэнгисээс гарч ирсэн араатан нь папын ёсыг, харин газрын араатан нь Америкийн Нэгдсэн Улсыг илэрхийлсэн юм. Уайт эгч эдгээр гурван араатныг луу, араатан, хуурамч эш үзүүлэгч хэмээн тодорхойлдог. Тэрээр өөрийн гэрчлэлийг өгөхдөө хаант улсуудын дарааллыг тодорхойлдог бөгөөд тэрхүү дараалал нь Илчлэл арван долоодугаар бүлэгт бидний хийж буй хэрэглээтэй нийцдэг.
“Under the symbols of a great red dragon, a leopard-like beast, and a beast with lamblike horns, the earthly governments which would especially engage in trampling upon God’s law and persecuting His people, were presented to John. The war is carried on till the close of time. The people of God, symbolized by a holy woman and her children, were represented as greatly in the minority. In the last days only a remnant still existed. Of these John speaks as they ‘which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.’
“Ki∙salgipa gisirangchi—dal∙begipa gimagipa drakon, chikkang gita dakgipa matburung, aro mesalni gri gita dakgipa matburung—Isolni niamko tondrape atchakna aro Uni manderangko a∙rikna mikkangchi dakgipa a∙gilsakni sorkar-rangko Johan-na mesokaha. Dakgrikani somoiko bon∙angkujana kingking ong∙a. Isolni manderang, rongtalgipa me∙chik aro uni dedrangchi chinataniko man∙giparang, namen chon∙saaniko man∙gipa ong∙aha ine mesokaha.

“Through paganism, and then through the Papacy, Satan exerted his power for many centuries in an effort to blot from the earth God’s faithful witnesses. Pagans and papists were actuated by the same dragon spirit. They differed only in that the Papacy, making a pretense of serving God, was the more dangerous and cruel foe. Through the agency of Romanism, Satan took the world captive. The professed church of God was swept into the ranks of this delusion, and for more than a thousand years the people of God suffered under the dragon’s ire. And when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.
“मूर्तिपूजकपणाद्वारे, आणि नंतर पोपसत्तेद्वारे, सैतानाने अनेक शतकांपर्यंत आपली सत्ता चालवून पृथ्वीवरून देवाच्या विश्वासू साक्षीदारांना पुसून टाकण्याचा प्रयत्न केला. मूर्तिपूजक आणि पोपसत्तावादी हे एकाच अजगरस्वभावाने प्रेरित होते. त्यांच्यात फरक एवढाच होता की, देवाची सेवा करीत असल्याचे ढोंग करणारी पोपसत्ता अधिक धोकादायक आणि अधिक क्रूर शत्रू होती. रोमनमताच्या माध्यमातून सैतानाने जगाला बंदिवान केले. देवाची कबुली देणारी मंडळी या भ्रमाच्या रांगांत ओढली गेली, आणि हजाराहून अधिक वर्षे देवाचे लोक अजगराच्या क्रोधाखाली दुःख भोगत राहिले. आणि जेव्हा पोपसत्ता, आपल्या सामर्थ्यापासून वंचित होऊन, छळ करणे थांबवण्यास बाध्य झाली, तेव्हा योहानाने एक नवी सत्ता उदयास येताना पाहिली, जी अजगराचा आवाज प्रतिध्वनित करील आणि त्याच क्रूर व देवनिंदक कार्याला पुढे नेईल. ही सत्ता—जी देवाच्या मंडळीविरुद्ध आणि देवाच्या नियमाविरुद्ध युद्ध पुकारणारी अखेरची सत्ता आहे—कोकरूसारखी शिंगे असलेल्या पशूद्वारे प्रतीकात्मकरीत्या दर्शविण्यात आली होती.”
“But the stern tracing of the prophetic pencil reveals a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, and that “he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Thus Protestantism follows in the steps of the Papacy.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
“Tetapi guratan tegas pena nubuat menyingkapkan suatu perubahan dalam pemandangan yang damai ini. Binatang yang bertanduk seperti anak domba itu berbicara dengan suara seekor naga, dan ‘menjalankan seluruh kuasa binatang yang pertama di hadapannya.’ Nubuat menyatakan bahwa ia akan mengatakan kepada mereka yang diam di bumi supaya mereka membuat suatu patung bagi binatang itu, dan bahwa ‘ia menyebabkan semua orang, baik kecil maupun besar, kaya maupun miskin, merdeka maupun hamba, menerima suatu tanda pada tangan kanan mereka atau pada dahi mereka; dan supaya tidak seorang pun dapat membeli atau menjual, selain dia yang mempunyai tanda itu, atau nama binatang itu, atau bilangan namanya.’ Dengan demikian Protestantisme mengikuti jejak Kepausan.” Signs of the Times, 1 November 1899.
In the first paragraph of the last passage, Sister White identifies pagan Rome, papal Rome and the United States as “earthly governments.” In the second paragraph she identifies that the governments were sequential when she says, “through paganism, and then through the Papacy,” and “when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work.” She does not stop there though, for in the third paragraph she identifies that the United States was to force another kingdom upon the entire world. She says, “The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast.”
Dalam perenggan pertama petikan yang terakhir itu, Sister White mengenal pasti Rom pagan, Rom kepausan dan Amerika Syarikat sebagai “kerajaan-kerajaan duniawi.” Dalam perenggan kedua, beliau menunjukkan bahawa kerajaan-kerajaan itu muncul secara berturutan apabila beliau berkata, “melalui paganisme, dan kemudian melalui Kepausan,” dan “apabila Kepausan, setelah dirampas kekuatannya, dipaksa menghentikan penganiayaan, Yohanes melihat suatu kuasa baharu muncul untuk menggemakan suara naga itu, dan meneruskan pekerjaan yang sama kejam dan menghujat.” Namun beliau tidak berhenti di situ, kerana dalam perenggan ketiga beliau menunjukkan bahawa Amerika Syarikat akan memaksakan satu lagi kerajaan ke atas seluruh dunia. Beliau berkata, “Binatang yang mempunyai tanduk seperti anak domba itu berbicara dengan suara seekor naga, dan ‘menjalankan seluruh kuasa binatang yang pertama di hadapannya.’ Nubuatan menyatakan bahawa dia akan mengatakan kepada mereka yang diam di bumi supaya mereka membuat sebuah patung bagi binatang itu.”
Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify pagan Rome, papal Rome, the United States and the world image of the beast, that is set up by the United States. The definition of the “image of the beast” is the combination of Church and State, and for the entire world to set up an image of the beast, by definition it identifies that in the last days, a one-world government will be forced upon the entire earth. The kingdom will consist of a State and a Church, with the Church ruling over the relationship. Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify four sequential kingdoms, and those same kingdoms are represented in chapter seventeen, and also in Daniel chapter two.
Wahyu bab dua belas dan tiga belas mengenal pasti Rom kafir, Rom kepausan, Amerika Syarikat, dan imej binatang seluruh dunia yang didirikan oleh Amerika Syarikat. Takrif “imej binatang” ialah gabungan Gereja dan Negara, dan agar seluruh dunia mendirikan suatu imej binatang, menurut takrifnya hal itu mengenal pasti bahawa pada hari-hari terakhir, suatu pemerintahan satu dunia akan dipaksakan ke atas seluruh bumi. Kerajaan itu akan terdiri daripada sebuah Negara dan sebuah Gereja, dengan Gereja memerintah atas hubungan tersebut. Wahyu bab dua belas dan tiga belas mengenal pasti empat kerajaan yang berturutan, dan kerajaan-kerajaan yang sama itu diwakili dalam bab tujuh belas, dan juga dalam Daniel bab dua.
In 1798, John saw the first five kingdoms of Bible prophecy had already fallen, and that in 1798, one kingdom then existed. The kingdom of Bible prophecy that began in 1798, was the earth beast of Revelation thirteen, that began as a lamb, but ends up speaking as a dragon. The United States is the two-horned sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, that follows the fifth kingdom of spiritual Babylon that had received a deadly wound. The fifth kingdom was spiritual Babylon, who had been typified by the first kingdom of literal Babylon. The sixth kingdom with two horns had been typified by the two arms of silver.
Pada tahun 1798, Yohanes melihat bahawa lima kerajaan pertama dalam nubuatan Alkitab telah pun jatuh, dan bahawa pada tahun 1798, satu kerajaan pada waktu itu sedang wujud. Kerajaan nubuatan Alkitab yang bermula pada tahun 1798 ialah binatang bumi dalam Wahyu tiga belas, yang bermula seperti anak domba, tetapi akhirnya berbicara seperti naga. Amerika Syarikat ialah kerajaan keenam bertanduk dua dalam nubuatan Alkitab, yang menyusuli kerajaan kelima, iaitu Babel rohani, yang telah menerima luka yang mematikan. Kerajaan kelima ialah Babel rohani, yang telah dilambangkan oleh kerajaan pertama, iaitu Babel harfiah. Kerajaan keenam yang bertanduk dua telah dilambangkan oleh dua lengan daripada perak.
In 1798, there was to be a kingdom that was yet in the future, for in 1798, “the other is not yet come.” When that seventh kingdom came into history, it would only “continue a short space.” The fifth kingdom received a deadly wound, the sixth kingdom had two horns and the seventh kingdom only continues for a brief period of time. The context of the passage identified that the seventh kingdom is represented by the “ten kings”, for when the “ten kings” become a kingdom, they only rule for “one hour,” and one “hour” is a short “space.” When the “ten kings” do reign, they rule together for the “one hour” with the beast.
Mu 1798, panali kuyenera kukhala ufumu umene unali usanadze, pakuti mu 1798, “wina sanadze.” Pamene ufumu wachisanu ndi chiwiriwo unafika m’mbiri, ukanangokhalapo “kanthawi kochepa.” Ufumu wachisanu unalandira chilonda chakupha, ufumu wachisanu ndi chimodzi unali ndi nyanga ziwiri, ndipo ufumu wachisanu ndi chiwiri umangokhalapo kwa nthawi yochepa kwambiri. M’mawu ozungulira ndimeyi mwazindikiritsa kuti ufumu wachisanu ndi chiwiri ukuimiridwa ndi “mafumu khumi,” pakuti pamene “mafumu khumi”wo akhala ufumu, amalamulira kwa “ola limodzi” lokha, ndipo “ola” limodzi ndi “kanthawi” kochepa. Pamene “mafumu khumi”wo alamulira, amalamulira limodzi kwa “ola limodzi” limenelo pamodzi ndi chilombocho.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:12.
Le dinaka tse lesome tše o di bonego ke dikgoši tše lesome, tšeo di sešo tša amogela mmušo; eupša di amogela maatla bjalo ka dikgoši lebaka la iri e tee gotee le sebata. Kutollo 17:12.
The “ten horns” are the seventh kingdom, but they rule together with the beast for “one hour”. The “one hour” is the period of the Sunday law crisis that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. They agree to rule with the beast, for they are forced to do so by the primary king, which is the United States. Sister White in the passage we just cited, identifies that the last power to persecute God’s people is the earth beast.
“Tanduk sepuluh” ialah kerajaan yang ketujuh, tetapi mereka memerintah bersama-sama dengan binatang itu selama “satu jam”. “Satu jam” itu ialah tempoh krisis hukum Ahad yang bermula pada hukum Ahad yang akan segera datang di Amerika Syarikat. Mereka bersetuju untuk memerintah bersama-sama dengan binatang itu, kerana mereka dipaksa berbuat demikian oleh raja yang utama, iaitu Amerika Syarikat. Sister White dalam petikan yang baru sahaja kita nyatakan, mengenal pasti bahawa kuasa terakhir yang menganiaya umat Tuhan ialah binatang dari bumi.
“John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
“යොහන් අලුත් බලයක් උද්ගතවී, මකරාගේ හඬ නැවත ප්රතිධ්වනි කරමින්, එම කෘර සහ අපහාසාත්මක ක්රියාවම ඉදිරියට ගෙන යන අයුරින් දක්නා ලදී. දෙවියන්වහන්සේගේ සභාවටත් නීතියටත් එරෙහිව යුද්ධ කිරීමට නියමිත අවසාන මෙම බලය, බැටළු පැටියෙකුගේ කොම්බ සමාන කොම්බ ඇති මෘගයෙකුගෙන් සංකේතවත් කරනු ලැබීය.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
The last kingdom of Bible prophecy is brought about through the deception accomplished by the United States, as the False Prophet. The kingdom began as a lamb in 1798, but in the last days it forces the world to accept the worldwide image of the beast, which is by definition the combination of a Church and a State with the Church in control of the relationship. That kingdom is also identified as a three-fold union.
Kgosi ya bofelo ya porofeto ya Baebele e tlhagisiwa ka tsietso e e diragadiwang ke United States, e le Moporofeti wa Maaka. Kgosi eo e simologile jaaka kwanyana ka 1798, mme mo metlheng ya bofelo e pateletsa lefatshe go amogela setshwantsho sa lefatshe lotlhe sa sebatana, se ka tlhaloso e leng kopanyo ya Kereke le Puso, Kereke e laola kamano eo. Kgosi eo gape e itsiwe e le kopano ya dikarolo tse tharo.
“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.
“වොශින්ටන් එක්සත් ජනපදයේ ප්රොටෙස්ටන්ට්වරු ආත්මවාදයේ අත අල්ලා ගැනීමට විශාල පරතරය හරහා තම අත් දිගු කිරීමට මුල් තැන ගනු ඇත; ඔවුහු රෝමීය බලය සමඟ අත් අල්ලා ගැනීමට අගාධය ඉක්මවා යනු ඇත; තවද, මේ ත්රිත්ව එකමුතුවේ බලපෑම යටතේ, මේ රට, විවේක හෘදසාක්ෂියේ අයිතිවාසිකම් පාගා දමමින්, රෝමයේ පා සළකුණු අනුව ගමන් කරනු ඇත.” The Great Controversy, 588.
The threefold union is the union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, which in Revelation sixteen go forth to the kings of the earth and lead the world to Armageddon.
Kopanyo e menaro ke kopanyo ya drakone, sebata le moporofeti wa maaka, bao mo go Tshenolo kgaolo ya lesome le borataro ba yang kwa dikgosing tsa lefatshe mme ba gogela lefatshe kwa Haramagedona.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Revelation 16:13, 14.
Ndzi vona mimoya minharhu leyi thyakeke, yo fana ni maxivirika, yi huma enon’wini wa dragona, ni le non’wini wa xivandzana, ni le non’wini wa muprofeta wa mavunwa. Hikuva i mimoya ya madimona, leyi endlaka masingita, leyi yaka eka tihosi ta misava ni ta misava hinkwayo, ku va hlengeleta enyimpini ya siku rero lerikulu ra Xikwembu xa Matimba Hinkwawo. Nhlavutelo 16:13, 14.
The “Roman power” is the papacy, the beast and the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy that received a deadly wound. The “Protestants” represent the United States, the false prophet, the sixth and final kingdom of Bible prophecy. “Spiritualism” is the United Nations, the dragon and the kingdom that agrees to rule for one hour with the beast. The threefold union is accomplished during the “one hour” that is the “hour” of the “great earthquake” in Revelation eleven, which is the soon-coming Sunday law.
“Kuasa Rom” ialah kepausan, binatang itu dan kerajaan kelima dalam nubuatan Alkitab yang menerima luka parah yang mematikan. “Protestan” mewakili Amerika Syarikat, nabi palsu, kerajaan keenam dan yang terakhir dalam nubuatan Alkitab. “Spiritualisme” ialah Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, naga itu dan kerajaan yang bersetuju untuk memerintah selama satu jam bersama binatang itu. Kesatuan tiga serangkai itu disempurnakan dalam “satu jam” yang merupakan “jam” bagi “gempa bumi besar” dalam Wahyu sebelas, iaitu undang-undang Ahad yang akan segera datang.
“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.
“Papacy-ni thlawkna, Pathian dân kalh a dinhmun tlatna thupek hmangin, kan ram hian felna atangin a inṭhen vek ang. Protestantism-in kut a zauh a, Roman thuneihna kut chu a man dawn hunah; thukkuang paltlangin Spiritualism nen kut an inbeng dawn hunah; he inzawmna pathum nei hian a nghawng hnuaiah, kan ram hian a Constitution-a thu lungphum zawng zawng, Protestant leh republican sawrkar nihna a ni angte chu a hnawl a, papal dâwt thu leh bumna hrang hrang tihdarh tura ruahmanna a siam dawn hunah, chutih hun chuan Satan thilmak taka thawhna hun a lo thleng tawh tih kan hre thei ang a, tawpna a hnaih tawh tih pawh kan hre bawk ang.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.
In Daniel chapter two, Babylon, the first kingdom of Bible prophecy represented by the head of gold, typifies spiritual Babylon, the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The twofold kingdom of the Medes and Persians, the shoulders and arms of silver, the second kingdom of Bible prophecy in Daniel two, represents the two-horned earth beast, the United States, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The brass of the image of Daniel two, representing Greece, the third kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the United Nations, the seventh head that continues for “one hour”, and that agrees to accept a position in the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet.
Dalam Daniel bab dua, Babel, kerajaan pertama dalam nubuat Alkitab yang dilambangkan oleh kepala emas, melambangkan Babel rohani, kerajaan kelima dalam nubuat Alkitab. Kerajaan rangkap dua orang Media dan Persia, yaitu bahu dan lengan dari perak, kerajaan kedua dalam nubuat Alkitab dalam Daniel dua, melambangkan binatang bumi bertanduk dua, Amerika Serikat, kerajaan keenam dalam nubuat Alkitab. Tembaga pada patung dalam Daniel dua, yang melambangkan Yunani, kerajaan ketiga dalam nubuat Alkitab, melambangkan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, kepala ketujuh yang berlangsung selama “satu jam”, dan yang setuju untuk menerima suatu kedudukan dalam persatuan rangkap tiga dari naga, binatang, dan nabi palsu.
The iron kingdom of Daniel chapter two, the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven. Literal pagan Rome, the fourth kingdom, represents modern Rome, which is a kingdom that is structured with the combination of Church and State, with the Church ruling over the relationship. That kingdom is threefold in nature, for the premier king of the “ten kings” is the sixth kingdom which is the earth beast. The sixth kingdom is Ahab, who was married to Jezebel. The sixth kingdom when represented in its threefold union is modern Rome, that was preceded by the fifth kingdom that was papal Rome, which was preceded by the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome.
Mmuso wa tshipi wa Daniele kgaolo ya bobedi, e leng mmuso wa bone wa boporofeta jwa Baebele, o emela mmuso wa borobedi, o e leng wa ba supa. Roma ya boheitane ya tlhago, e leng mmuso wa bone, e emela Roma ya segompieno, e leng mmuso o o rulagantsweng ka kopano ya Kereke le Puso, Kereke e busa mo kamanong eo. Mmuso oo o na le tlholego ya dikarolo di le tharo, gonne kgosi e kgolo ya “dikgosi di le lesome” ke mmuso wa borataro, o e leng sebatana sa lefatshe. Mmuso wa borataro ke Ahabe, yo o neng a nyetse Jesebele. Mmuso wa borataro, fa o emetswe mo kopanong ya one ya dikarolo di le tharo, ke Roma ya segompieno, e e neng ya etelwa pele ke mmuso wa botlhano o e neng e le Roma ya bomopapa, o o neng wa etelwa pele ke mmuso wa bone wa Roma ya boheitane.
The Millerites only saw Rome as the fourth and final kingdom. They recognized it was twofold in nature, but could see no other following earthly kingdom. The fourth kingdom was pagan Rome, which preceded papal Rome the fifth kingdom, that is followed by modern Rome the sixth kingdom. The sixth kingdom is the third of three Roman manifestations.
Ka Milleritke an∙tangna Roma-ko mangkinggipin aro bon∙kamgipa songnok inesa nikachim. Uamang iako minggni daksa ong∙achim ine u∙iaha, indiba a∙gilsako iani ja∙man ning∙tubegipa gipin songnokko nikna amjachim. Mangkinggipin songnokde pagan Roma ong∙achim, jean papal Roma, chong∙motan, dokgipa songnokna skanggipa ong∙achim; aro iani ja∙man modern Roma, chong∙motan, drugipa songnok re∙baachim. Drugipa songnokde Roman dakkianirang gittamoni gittamgipa ong∙a.
The threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet is both modern Rome and also Babylon the Great, whose deadly wound is healed. The United States, the United Nations and the whore of Tyre represent the eighth and final kingdom, but they are all three allies in the threefold union of the sixth kingdom, which is the last power “to wage war against the church and the law of God.”
Kopano e menarong ya noga, sebata le moporofeta wa maaka ke Roma ya segompieno gape ke Babele yo Mogolo, yo ntho ya gagwe e e bolayang e fodisitsweng. United States, United Nations le seaka sa Ture di emela bogosi jwa borobedi le jwa bofelo, mme botlhe ba le bararo ke balekane mo kopanong e menarong ya bogosi jwa borataro, jo e leng maatla a bofelo “a go lwa le kereke le molao wa Modimo.”
The United States is one-third of the sixth kingdom. The United Nations, as part of the threefold union, is also one-third of the sixth kingdom, and the papacy is also one-third of the sixth kingdom. At this level the number for the United States is SIX, and the number for the United Nations is SIX and the number of the papacy is SIX. The threefold union represents the number of a man, the “man of sin”, and his number is SIX-SIX-SIX.
Amerika Syarikat ialah satu pertiga daripada kerajaan keenam. Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, sebagai sebahagian daripada kesatuan tiga serangkai, juga ialah satu pertiga daripada kerajaan keenam, dan kepausan juga ialah satu pertiga daripada kerajaan keenam. Pada peringkat ini nombor bagi Amerika Syarikat ialah ENAM, dan nombor bagi Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu ialah ENAM, dan nombor bagi kepausan ialah ENAM. Kesatuan tiga serangkai itu melambangkan bilangan seorang manusia, iaitu “manusia durhaka”, dan bilangannya ialah ENAM-ENAM-ENAM.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18.
Mô in khei hiatna a um. Hriatna nei chu sarangin nambar chu chhiar rawh se: mi pakhat nambar a ni a; a nambar chu za ruk leh sawm ruk leh paruk a ni. Thupuan 13:18.
The sixth and final separate kingdom is the United States, but it deceives the world, for it is the False Prophet.
Mong wa ka rukom kaba kyrpang kaba hynriew bad kaba khatduh ka long ka United States, hynrei ka shukor ïa ka pyrthei, namar ka long u Nongiathuhlypa Lamler.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Revelation 13:12–14.
আর সে প্রথম পশুর সমস্ত ক্ষমতা তার সম্মুখে প্রয়োগ করে, এবং পৃথিবী ও তাতে বসবাসকারী সকলকে সেই প্রথম পশুটির উপাসনা করায়, যার মরণঘাতী ক্ষত আরোগ্যপ্রাপ্ত হয়েছিল। আর সে মহৎ আশ্চর্যকর্ম করে, এমনকি মানুষের দৃষ্টিতে স্বর্গ থেকে পৃথিবীর ওপর অগ্নি নামিয়েও আনে, এবং যে সকল অলৌকিক কার্য সে পশুটির সম্মুখে করবার ক্ষমতা পেয়েছিল, সেগুলোর দ্বারা পৃথিবীতে বসবাসকারীদের প্রতারিত করে; এবং পৃথিবীতে বসবাসকারীদের বলে যে, তারা সেই পশুর একটি মূর্তি নির্মাণ করুক, যে তলোয়ারের আঘাতে ক্ষতবিক্ষত হয়েও জীবিত ছিল। প্রকাশিত বাক্য 13:12–14।
The “power of the first beast before him,” represents the power that was given to the papacy by the kings of Europe, beginning with Clovis in the year 496. The United States uses its military might, accompanied by its economic might to deceive and coerce the world. The United States forces the world to worship the papacy, through the enforcement of Sunday worship. The United States performs great wonders by making fire, (a symbol of a message) to come down out of heaven, that is to be accomplished by the Information Super-Highway, that represents the full development of brainwashing and propaganda, that is the modern manifestation of hypnosis. Because of the escalating crisis brought upon the earth by Islam, as they fulfill their role in angering the nations, the world is deceived to accept the worldwide system of the combination of Church and State that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
“兽”在“头一个兽面前”所行使的“权柄”，代表自公元496年克洛维起，欧洲诸王所赋予教皇制的权势。美国运用其军事强权，并辅以其经济实力，去迷惑并胁迫世界。美国借着强制推行星期日崇拜，使全世界敬拜教皇制。美国行大奇事，叫火（即信息的象征）从天降下；这一点将借着“信息高速公路”而实现，它代表洗脑与宣传的充分发展，也就是催眠术在现代的表现形式。由于伊斯兰使地上所临到的危机日益加剧，并在其激怒列国的角色上应验其本分，世人便受了迷惑，接受那由龙、兽和假先知所构成之政教合一的全球体系。
When verse eighteen of Revelation thirteen says count the number of the beast, the number is the three powers that come together to make up the sixth and final kingdom. When that kingdom of 666, is put in place, it will be the fulfillment of the prophetic riddle that the eighth king is of the seven. That prophetic riddle is part of the truth that is unsealed when the Lion of the tribe of Judah, unseals the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Apabila ayat lapan belas dalam Wahyu tiga belas berkata, hitunglah bilangan binatang itu, bilangan itu ialah tiga kuasa yang bergabung untuk membentuk kerajaan yang keenam dan yang terakhir. Apabila kerajaan 666 itu ditegakkan, hal itu akan menjadi penggenapan teka-teki nubuat bahawa raja yang kedelapan adalah daripada yang tujuh. Teka-teki nubuat itu adalah sebahagian daripada kebenaran yang dimeteraikan semula apabila Singa daripada suku Yehuda membuka meterai Wahyu Yesus Kristus.
For this reason the riddle of the final kingdom that is the threefold sixth kingdom, that is also spiritual Babylon that was forgotten for seventy symbolic years, and who is modern Rome, and who is also the worldwide image of the beast, who was typified by the first kingdom of Babylon, and the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, is twice witnessed to by the identification that it is the “wise” that will understand this truth, for the enigma of 666, is premised upon those who have wisdom, as is the enigma of the eighth king being of the seven.
Kerana sebab inilah teka-teki tentang kerajaan terakhir yang merupakan kerajaan keenam yang tiga serangkai, yang juga ialah Babel rohani yang telah dilupakan selama tujuh puluh tahun lambang, dan yang ialah Rom moden, dan yang juga ialah patung binatang buas sedunia, yang telah dilambangkan oleh kerajaan pertama Babel, dan kerajaan keempat Rom kafir, disaksikan dua kali melalui pengenalpastian bahawa “orang bijaksana”lah yang akan memahami kebenaran ini; kerana misteri 666 berasaskan mereka yang mempunyai hikmat, sebagaimana juga misteri raja yang kedelapan itu berasal daripada yang tujuh.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18.
Ово је мудрост. Ко има разум, нека израчуна број звери; јер је то број човека; и број њезин је шест стотина шездесет и шест. Откривење 13:18.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Revelation 17:9.
Ena ke mohopolo o nang le bohlale. Dihlogo tše šupa ke dithaba tše šupa, tše mosadi a dutšego godimo ga tšona. Kutollo 17:9.
The unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is understood by the “wise,” not by the wicked. Both references of wisdom in the book of Revelation are about those who have “understanding,” and what the “wise” understand is the “increase of knowledge”. The “increase of knowledge” that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation that the eighth kingdom, which is the threefold kingdom of 666, is also represented in Daniel chapter two, for the jewels of Miller’s dream are to shine ten times brighter in the last days.
Pembukaan meterai Wahyu Yesus Kristus difahami oleh “orang bijaksana,” bukan oleh orang fasik. Kedua-dua rujukan tentang hikmat dalam kitab Wahyu merujuk kepada mereka yang mempunyai “pengertian,” dan apa yang difahami oleh “orang bijaksana” itu ialah “pertambahan pengetahuan”. “Pertambahan pengetahuan” yang merupakan Wahyu Yesus Kristus itu ialah penyingkapan bahawa kerajaan yang kelapan, iaitu kerajaan tiga serangkai 666, juga dilambangkan dalam Daniel fasal dua, kerana permata dalam mimpi Miller akan bersinar sepuluh kali lebih terang pada akhir zaman.
We will continue this study in the next article.
Kita akan meneruskan kajian ini dalam rencana yang seterusnya.
“In the Revelation are portrayed the deep things of God. The very name given to its inspired pages, ‘the Revelation,’ contradicts the statement that this is a sealed book. A revelation is something revealed. The Lord Himself revealed to His servant the mysteries contained in this book, and He designs that they shall be open to the study of all. Its truths are addressed to those living in the last days of this earth’s history, as well as to those living in the days of John. Some of the scenes depicted in this prophecy are in the past, some are now taking place; some bring to view the close of the great conflict between the powers of darkness and the Prince of heaven, and some reveal the triumphs and joys of the redeemed in the earth made new.
“Anuanom nyɛ nyɛeɛ a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn mu no adi mfoni wɔ Adiyisɛm no mu. Din a wɔde ama nkrataafa a honhom kaa so no ankasa, ‘Adiyisɛm,’ po asɛm a ɛka sɛ eyi yɛ nwoma a wɔasɔ ano no.

“Let none think, because they cannot explain the meaning of every symbol in the Revelation, that it is useless for them to search this book in an effort to know the meaning of the truth it contains. The One who revealed these mysteries to John will give to the diligent searcher for truth a foretaste of heavenly things. Those whose hearts are open to the reception of truth will be enabled to understand its teachings, and will be granted the blessing promised to those who ‘hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’
“တရားဟောကျမ်း၌ပါရှိသော သင်္ကေတတိုင်း၏ အနက်အဓိပ္ပာယ်ကို မရှင်းပြနိုင်ကြသည့်အတွက်၊ ထိုကျမ်းအတွင်းပါရှိသော သမ္မာတရား၏ အနက်ကို သိရှိရန် ကြိုးပမ်းလျက် ဤကျမ်းကို စူးစမ်းရှာဖွေခြင်းသည် မိမိတို့အတွက် အကျိုးမရှိဟု မည်သူမျှ မထင်ကြစေ။ ဤလျှို့ဝှက်ချက်များကို ယောဟန်အား ဖွင့်ပြတော်မူသော ဘုရားရှင်သည် သမ္မာတရားကို လုံ့လဝီရိယရှိစွာ ရှာဖွေသူအား ကောင်းကင်ဆိုင်ရာ အရာများ၏ ကြိုတင်မြည်းစမ်းမှုကို ပေးတော်မူလိမ့်မည်။ စိတ်နှလုံးတို့သည် သမ္မာတရားကို လက်ခံရန် ဖွင့်ထားသောသူတို့သည် ၎င်း၏ သွန်သင်ချက်များကို နားလည်နိုင်ရန် အခွင့်ပေးခြင်းခံရမည်ဖြစ်ပြီး၊ ‘ဤပရောဖက်ပြုချက်၏ စကားများကို နားထောင်၍ ၎င်းအတွင်း ရေးထားသော အရာတို့ကို စောင့်ထိန်းသောသူတို့’ အတွက် ကတိပြုထားသော ကောင်းချီးမင်္ဂလာကိုလည်း ခံစားရကြမည်။”
“In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.
“사도행전”이라는 책 계시록에서 성경의 모든 책이 만나며 종결된다. 여기에는 다니엘서의 보완이 있다. 하나는 예언이요, 다른 하나는 계시이다. 봉해졌던 책은 계시록이 아니라, 마지막 날들과 관련된 다니엘의 예언의 그 부분이었다. 천사는 명하기를, ‘오직 다니엘아, 마지막 때까지 이 말을 간수하고 이 글을 봉함하라.’ 다니엘 12:4.” 『사도행적』, 584, 585.
