We are in the process of considering Revelation chapters eleven through thirteen, where we find all the antagonists in the final probationary battle of the great controversy that occurs on the battlefield of the first heaven. The antagonists are the one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude that comes out of Babylon as a secondary force, against the United Nations, the Catholic Church, the United States and Satan himself. The one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude are God’s army, representing the third angel’s message, and both sides in the warfare are also confronted with the army of God’s judgment, represented not by the third angel, but by the third woe.

Kita sedang dalam proses mempertimbangkan Wahyu pasal sebelas hingga tiga belas, di mana kita mendapati semua pihak yang berlawanan dalam pertempuran masa percobaan terakhir dari pertentangan besar yang terjadi di medan peperangan langit pertama. Pihak-pihak yang berlawanan itu adalah seratus empat puluh empat ribu dan kumpulan besar yang keluar dari Babel sebagai pasukan sekunder, berhadapan dengan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, Gereja Katolik, Amerika Serikat, dan Setan sendiri. Seratus empat puluh empat ribu dan kumpulan besar itu adalah bala tentara Allah, yang melambangkan pekabaran malaikat ketiga, dan kedua pihak dalam peperangan itu juga berhadapan dengan bala tentara penghakiman Allah, yang dilambangkan bukan oleh malaikat ketiga, melainkan oleh celaka yang ketiga.

In order to identify certain characteristics that contributed to the murder of the Republican and Protestant horns in 2020, we are seeking to identify prophetic characteristics that occur in the battle of mankind in the first heaven, from the Sunday law until Michael stands up. In that history the entire world is forced to erect an image to the beast. That history is a repetition of the history of the United States from September 11, 2001, until the soon coming Sunday law, which divides those two parallel histories. As parallel histories they both represent a witness to the other history. What takes place in one of those histories, will also take place in the other history. It is the second history that is the focus of Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, and we intend to understand the second witness, in order to shed prophetic light upon the first history, which is now almost finished.

Supaya dapat mengenal pasti beberapa ciri yang menyumbang kepada pembunuhan tanduk-tanduk Republikan dan Protestan pada tahun 2020, kita sedang berusaha mengenal pasti ciri-ciri nubuat yang berlaku dalam peperangan umat manusia di langit yang pertama, dari hukum Ahad sehingga Mikhael bangkit. Dalam sejarah itu seluruh dunia dipaksa untuk mendirikan suatu patung kepada binatang itu. Sejarah itu merupakan suatu pengulangan sejarah Amerika Syarikat dari 11 September 2001, sehingga hukum Ahad yang akan datang tidak lama lagi, yang memisahkan kedua-dua sejarah selari itu. Sebagai sejarah-sejarah yang selari, kedua-duanya mewakili suatu kesaksian kepada sejarah yang satu lagi. Apa yang berlaku dalam salah satu daripada sejarah itu, juga akan berlaku dalam sejarah yang satu lagi. Sejarah yang kedua itulah yang menjadi tumpuan Wahyu fasal dua belas dan tiga belas, dan kita berniat untuk memahami saksi yang kedua itu, agar dapat mencurahkan terang nubuat ke atas sejarah yang pertama, yang kini hampir selesai.

The three powers that lead the world to Armageddon are represented in chapters twelve and thirteen. The dragon power is first mentioned.

Matla a mararo a etelelang lefatshe kwa Haramagedone a emetswe mo dikgaolong tsa bolesomepedi le bolesome-tharo. Matla a kgogela a umakwa pele.

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:3, 4.

Pe ku na boikgantšho bjo bongwe legodimong; gomme bonang, drakone e kgolo e khubedu, e na le dihlogo tše šupago le dinaka tše lesome, le mefapahlogo e šupago dihlogong tša yona. Gomme mosela wa yona wa goga karolo ya boraro ya dinaledi tša legodimo, wa di lahlela lefaseng; gomme drakone ya ema pele ga mosadi yo a bego a le kgauswi le go belega, gore e je ngwana wa gagwe gateetee ge a sa tšwa go belegwa. Kutollo 12:3, 4.

Sister White informs us that the dragon in this chapter is Satan, but in a secondary sense it is pagan Rome. Both Satan and pagan Rome typify the United Nations. The beast’s ten horns represent the evil confederacy of ten kings in Revelation seventeen. Those ten kings are represented in Revelation seventeen, and they are there identified as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. The beast is represented as having seven heads with seven crowns, marking it as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. In Daniel two they are represented as spiritual Greece, and they are also Ahab in the testimony of Mount Carmel, and they are the ten enemies of Psalms eighty-three.

வெள்ளை சகோதரி, இந்த அதிகாரத்தில் உள்ள வலுசர்ப்பம் சாத்தானென்று நமக்குத் தெரிவிக்கிறார்; ஆனால் இரண்டாம் பொருளில் அது புறமத ரோமாவாகும். சாத்தானும் புறமத ரோமாவும் இரண்டும் ஐக்கிய நாடுகள் சபைக்கான முன்மாதிரிகளாக இருக்கின்றன. அந்த மிருகத்தின் பத்து கொம்புகள் வெளிப்படுத்தல் பதினேழில் காணப்படும் பத்து ராஜாக்களின் பொல்லாத கூட்டமைப்பைச் சுட்டிக்காட்டுகின்றன. அந்தப் பத்து ராஜாக்கள் வெளிப்படுத்தல் பதினேழில் சித்தரிக்கப்படுகிறார்கள்; அங்கேயே அவர்கள் வேதாகமத் தீர்க்கதரிசனத்தின் ஏழாம் இராச்சியமாக அடையாளப்படுத்தப்படுகிறார்கள். அந்த மிருகம் ஏழு கிரீடங்களோடு கூடிய ஏழு தலைகளை உடையதாகக் காட்டப்படுவது, அது வேதாகமத் தீர்க்கதரிசனத்தின் ஏழாம் இராச்சியம் என்பதைச் சுட்டிக்காட்டுகிறது. தானியேல் இரண்டில் அவர்கள் ஆவிக்குரிய கிரேக்கமாகக் குறிப்பிடப்படுகிறார்கள்; மேலும் கர்மேல் பர்வதத்தின் சாட்சியில் அவர்கள் ஆகாபாகவும் இருக்கிறார்கள்; சங்கீதம் எண்பத்துமூன்றில் அவர்கள் பத்து சத்துருக்களாகவும் இருக்கிறார்கள்.

The second earthly power of the enemy mentioned in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, is the beast that comes out of the sea, who Sister White directly identifies as Catholicism.

Kuŋ ci ñaareelu kàttanu suuf yu noon yi ñuy wax ci Mbindi mi 12 ak 13, mooy rab wu jóge ci géej gi, te Rakku Jigéen White wax na ko bu xóot ne mooy Katolisism.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 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. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:1–3.

Lalu aku berdiri di atas pasir di tepi laut, dan aku melihat seekor binatang buas naik dari dalam laut, mempunyai tujuh kepala dan sepuluh tanduk; dan pada tanduk-tanduknya ada sepuluh mahkota, dan pada kepala-kepalanya tertulis nama hujat. Dan binatang buas yang kulihat itu rupanya seperti macan tutul, dan kakinya seperti kaki beruang, dan mulutnya seperti mulut singa. Lalu naga itu memberikan kepadanya kuasanya, takhtanya, dan wewenang yang besar. Dan aku melihat salah satu dari kepalanya seperti kena luka yang mematikan, tetapi luka yang mematikan itu sembuh. Maka seluruh dunia menjadi heran, lalu mengikut binatang buas itu. Wahyu 13:1–3.

John was standing on the seashore in verse one, and he sees a beast rise from the sea, and thereafter, he sees a beast coming up out of the earth. Sister White identifies that the time in which John saw the two beasts was 1798, for that was the year the papacy was “robbed of its strength,” thus receiving a deadly wound that would ultimately be healed.

Dalam ayat satu, Yohanes sedang berdiri di tepi laut, lalu ia melihat seekor binatang buas muncul dari laut; dan sesudah itu, ia melihat seekor binatang buas naik dari bumi. Sister White menyatakan bahawa masa ketika Yohanes melihat kedua-dua binatang buas itu ialah tahun 1798, kerana pada tahun itulah kepausan telah “dirampas kekuatannya,” lalu menerima suatu luka maut yang pada akhirnya akan sembuh.

“At the time 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, is represented by a beast with lamblike horns. The beasts preceding it had risen from the sea; but this came up out of the earth, representing the peaceful rise of the nation which it symbolized—the United States.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.

“Apabila pada masa Kepausan, setelah dirampas kekuatannya, dipaksa menghentikan penganiayaan, Yohanes melihat suatu kuasa baharu muncul untuk menggemakan suara naga itu, dan meneruskan pekerjaan yang sama kejam serta menghujat itu. Kuasa ini, yang terakhir akan berperang melawan gereja dan hukum Tuhan, dilambangkan oleh seekor binatang dengan tanduk seperti anak domba. Binatang-binatang yang mendahuluinya telah bangkit dari laut; tetapi yang ini muncul dari bumi, melambangkan kebangkitan secara damai bangsa yang dilambangkannya—Amerika Syarikat.” Signs of the Times, 8 Februari 1910.

John is looking backward into history when he sees the sea beast, which is the papacy. Looking forward in history, he sees the earth beast, which is the United States. This is why the beast from the sea is prophetically constructed as it is. Looking back from 1798, John first sees “seven heads and ten horns,” marking the point in history that three of the horns were plucked up to make room for the stout horn of the papacy, which spake great things.

Johane u langutela emuva emlandweni lapho ebona isilo sasolwandle, okuyiBupapa. Ebheka phambili emlandweni, ubona isilo somhlaba, okuyi-United States. Yingakho isilo esivela olwandle sakhiwe ngokwesiprofetho ngendlela esinjalo ngayo. Ebheka emuva esuka ku-1798, uJohane uqala ukubona “amakhanda ayisikhombisa nezimpondo eziyishumi,” okuwuphawu lwendawo emlandweni lapho ezintathu zezimpondo zaxutshwa ukuze kwenziwe indawo yophondo olukhulu lweBupapa, olwalukhuluma izinto ezinkulu.

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:19, 20.

Kemudian aku hendak mengetahui kebenaran tentang binatang yang keempat itu, yang berbeda dari semuanya yang lain, sangat dahsyat, yang giginya dari besi dan kukunya dari tembaga; yang melahap, meremukkan, dan menginjak-injak sisanya dengan kakinya; dan tentang kesepuluh tanduk yang ada di kepalanya, dan tentang tanduk yang lain yang muncul, yang di hadapannya tiga tanduk jatuh; yakni tanduk yang mempunyai mata, dan mulut yang mengucapkan perkara-perkara yang sangat besar, yang rupanya lebih gagah daripada sesamanya. Daniel 7:19, 20.

Before those three horns of the Heruli, Ostrogoths and Vandals were removed, pagan Rome was represented by “ten crowns.” Those ten crowns represent pagan Rome. Then John identifies the leopard of Greece, then the bear of Medo-Persia and then the lion of Babylon.

Sebelum tiga tanduk itu, yakni Heruli, Ostrogoth, dan Vandal, disingkirkan, Roma kafir dilambangkan dengan “sepuluh mahkota.” Sepuluh mahkota itu melambangkan Roma kafir. Kemudian Yohanes mengenali macan tutul, yaitu Yunani; lalu beruang, yaitu Media-Persia; dan kemudian singa, yaitu Babel.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Daniel 7:4–6.

Ya pele e ne le joalo ka tau, ’me se ne se e-na le mapheo a ntsu; ka talima ho fihlela mapheo a sona a khaoloa, ’me sa phahamisoa lefatšeng, sa emisoa ka maoto joaloka motho, ’me sa fuoa pelo ea motho. ’Me bonang, sebata se seng, sa bobeli, se ne se tšoana le bere; sa ikokobelletsa ka lehlakoreng le leng, ’me se ne se e-na le likhopo tse tharo molomong oa sona pakeng tsa meno a sona; ’me ba re ho sona tjena: Tsoha, u je nama e ngata. Ka mor’a moo ka talima, ’me bonang, se seng hape, se tšoanang le nkwe, se neng se e-na le mapheo a mane a nonyana mokokotlong oa sona; sebata seo se ne se boetse se e-na le lihlooho tse ’nè; ’me sa fuoa puso. Daniele 7:4–6.

There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian, and the sea beast represents the combination of all the previous pagan kingdoms of Bible prophecy. The sea beast is represented in reverse historical order, for John is looking back into history. He first saw the power that was established when the three horns were removed—the papacy. Then he saw ten horns with ten crowns—pagan Rome. Then he saw the leopard—Greece. Then he saw the bear—Medo-Persia. Then he saw the lion—Babylon. The description of the sea beast consists of elements of each of the preceding pagan kingdoms, and the description establishes that the papacy is a conglomeration of every form of paganism that has existed in biblical history. There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian. Anything that might appear as Christian in Catholicism is a counterfeit.

Tiada satu pun unsur dalam Katolik yang Kristen, dan binatang dari laut melambangkan gabungan semua kerajaan kafir sebelumnya dalam nubuatan Alkitab. Binatang dari laut itu digambarkan dalam urutan sejarah yang terbalik, karena Yohanes sedang memandang kembali ke dalam sejarah. Mula-mula ia melihat kuasa yang ditegakkan ketika ketiga tanduk itu disingkirkan—kepausan. Kemudian ia melihat sepuluh tanduk dengan sepuluh mahkota—Roma kafir. Lalu ia melihat macan tutul—Yunani. Kemudian ia melihat beruang—Media-Persia. Sesudah itu ia melihat singa—Babel. Uraian tentang binatang dari laut itu terdiri atas unsur-unsur dari masing-masing kerajaan kafir yang mendahuluinya, dan uraian itu menegaskan bahwa kepausan adalah suatu perpaduan dari setiap bentuk kekafiran yang pernah ada dalam sejarah Alkitab. Tiada satu pun unsur dalam Katolik yang Kristen. Apa pun yang mungkin tampak sebagai Kristen dalam Katolik adalah suatu pemalsuan.

At Mount Carmel, when Elijah did battle with Jezebel’s prophets and her apostate husband, Jezebel was back home in Samaria. The whore of Tyre is forgotten during the history of the earth beast with two horns. Jezebel is always hidden away, and in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen the world wonders after her, but she is not portrayed as a marvel that is wondered after in the heavens, as is the United Nations, the United States and Satan. She is back in her command center of Samaria—the city of Rome.

දිව්‍ය කර්මෙල් කන්දේදී, එලියා යෙසබෙල්ගේ අනාවක්කාරයන් හා ඇයගේ විශ්වාසභ్రෂ්ට සැමියාට විරුද්ධව සටන් කළ විට, යෙසබෙල් ආපසු සමාරියාවේ තම නිවසෙහි සිටියාය. අං දෙකක් ඇති පෘථිවි මෘගයාගේ ඉතිහාසය තුළ ටයර්හි වේශ්‍යාව අමතක කරනු ලැබේ. යෙසබෙල් සැමවිටම සැඟවී සිටින්නීය; එළිදරව්ව පොතේ දොළොස්වන හා දහතුන්වන පරිච්ඡේදවලදී ලෝකය ඇය අනුව පුදුමයෙන් ගමන් කරයි, එහෙත් එක්සත් ජාතීන්, එක්සත් ජනපදය හා සාතන් පිළිබඳව මෙන්, ආකාශයෙහි පුදුමයෙන් බලනු ලබන අද්භූත දර්ශනයක් ලෙස ඇය නිරූපණය නොකෙරේ. ඇය ආපසු සමාරියාවේ තම අණකොටුවට—රෝම නගරයට—පැමිණ සිටින්නීය.

The history of the earth beast is where the test of the image of the beast for the whole world is identified. That test takes place during the warfare of the first heaven. This is what we wish to consider at this point. I will substitute the United States for the word “he” in the verses we are now going to consider.

Hisitori ya sebata sa lefase ke mo go yone go lemogiwang teko ya setshwantsho sa sebata bakeng sa lefatshe lotlhe. Teko eo e diragala ka nako ya ntwa ya legodimo la ntlha. Se ke se re eletsang go se akanyetsa mo ntlheng eno. Ke tla emisetsa mafoko a a reng “ene” ka “United States” mo ditemaneng tse re tlogang re di akanyetsa jaanong.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and the United States had two horns like a lamb, and the United States spake as a dragon. And the United States 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 the United States 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 the United States 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. And the [United States] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And the United States 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. Revelation 13:11–17.

Ndipo nikatazama mnyama mwingine akipanda kutoka katika nchi; na Marekani ilikuwa na pembe mbili mfano wa mwana-kondoo, nayo Marekani ikanena kama joka. Nayo Marekani hutumia uwezo wote wa mnyama wa kwanza mbele yake, nayo huisababisha dunia na wakaao ndani yake kumsujudia mnyama wa kwanza, ambaye jeraha lake la mauti lilipona. Nayo Marekani hufanya maajabu makubwa, hata hushusha moto kutoka mbinguni kuja juu ya nchi machoni pa watu, nayo huwadanganya wakaao juu ya nchi kwa zile miujiza ambazo Marekani ilipewa uwezo wa kuzifanya machoni pa mnyama; ikiwaambia wakaao juu ya nchi wamfanyie mnyama sanamu, yeye aliyekuwa na jeraha la upanga, naye akaishi. Nayo [Marekani] ilipewa uwezo kuipa hiyo sanamu ya mnyama pumzi, ili hiyo sanamu ya mnyama inene, tena isababishe kuuawa kwa wote wasiomsujudia hiyo sanamu ya mnyama. Nayo Marekani huwafanya wote, wadogo kwa wakubwa, matajiri kwa maskini, walio huru kwa watumwa, kutiwa chapa katika mkono wao wa kuume, au katika vipaji vya nyuso zao; tena kwamba mtu yeyote asiweze kununua wala kuuza, isipokuwa yeye aliye na hiyo chapa, au jina la mnyama, au hesabu ya jina lake. Ufunuo 13:11–17.

In Revelation chapter thirteen, the dragon of pagan Rome gave the papacy three things as it placed the papacy on the throne of the earth.

Dalam Wahyu pasal tiga belas, naga Roma kafir memberikan kepada kepausan tiga perkara ketika ia menempatkan kepausan di atas takhta bumi.

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.

ហើយ​សត្វ​សាហាវ​ដែល​ខ្ញុំ​បាន​ឃើញ​នោះ មាន​រូបរាង​ដូច​ខ្លា​ដំបង ហើយ​ជើង​របស់​វា​ដូច​ជើង​ខ្លាឃ្មុំ ហើយ​មាត់​របស់​វា​ដូច​មាត់​សិង្ហៈ ហើយ​នាគ​បាន​ប្រគល់​អំណាច​របស់​វា បល្ល័ង្ក​របស់​វា និង​អំណាច​ដ៏​ធំ​ដល់​វា។ វិវរណៈ 13:2។

The ten kings who represent pagan Rome (France being the premier king of the ten as represented by Ahab) gave the papacy three things: power, seat and authority. When the emperor Constantine moved the capital from the city of Rome in the west, unto the east and made Constantinople the new capital of the Roman Empire in the year 330, pagan Rome then gave the church of Rome its “seat.”

Marajaumi mi somoi rōreļọk Rome eo ej jab jọmāļọk in paddik, (France eo im kar bōk jikin king eo an jemānlok im ilo Ahab) raar lelok ñan papacy men ko jilu: kajoor, jijjikin, im melim. Ilo aōn emperor Constantine ear kobalok capital eo jen Rome ilo kapin pād im etal ñan kapin raan, im kar kōmman Constantinople bwe en capital eo ekāāl an Roman Empire ilo yiō 330, Rome eo ej jab jọmāļọk in paddik innem ear lelok ñan church eo an Rome “jijjikin” eo an.

When Clovis, king of the Franks (France), converted to Catholicism and began to war against the powers that had been resisting the rise of the papacy to the throne of the earth in the year 496, pagan Rome then gave the papacy its “power.”

Apabila Clovis, raja kaum Franka (Perancis), memeluk agama Katolik dan mula berperang melawan kuasa-kuasa yang telah menentang kebangkitan kepausan ke takhta bumi pada tahun 496, maka Rom pagan pun memberikan kepada kepausan itu “kuasanya.”

In 533, Justinian made a decree which identified the Roman church as both the head of all churches, and also as the corrector of heretics. At that point, the authority of pagan Rome had been given to the papacy.

Pada tahun 533, Justinian mengeluarkan suatu dekret yang menetapkan bahwa gereja Roma adalah kepala segala gereja, dan juga pembina para bidat. Pada saat itu, kekuasaan Roma kafir telah diserahkan kepada kepausan.

In verse twelve, “the [United States] exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.” The power that was exercised by the papacy is represented by Clovis, who dedicated his military and economic might unto the papacy. This is why Catholicism calls Clovis “the first born of the Catholic church,” and France the “eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” The United States will do the same dirty work for the papacy that Clovis began in 496.

Dalam ayat dua belas, “ia [Amerika Syarikat] menjalankan segala kuasa binatang yang pertama itu di hadapannya.” Kuasa yang telah dijalankan oleh kepausan dilambangkan oleh Clovis, yang telah mempersembahkan kekuatan ketenteraan dan ekonomi beliau kepada kepausan. Inilah sebabnya agama Katolik menyebut Clovis “anak sulung gereja Katolik,” dan Perancis “puteri sulung gereja Katolik.” Amerika Syarikat akan melakukan pekerjaan kotor yang sama bagi pihak kepausan sebagaimana yang dimulakan oleh Clovis pada tahun 496.

The power of the United States will be employed to cause “the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” The United States will employ its military and economic strength to cause the entire world to accept Sunday as a day of rest. The whore of Tyre will first commit fornication with the earth beast at the soon coming Sunday law, and then she will go forth and commit fornication with all the other kings of the earth.

Kuŵalo wa United States ugwiriskikenge ntchito kuti “charu chapasi na awo ŵakukhala mwenemo ŵasopenge chikoko chakwamba, icho chilonda chake chakukoma chikachizgika.” United States yigwiriskenge ntchito nkhongono yake ya nkhondo na ya chuma kuti yichitiske charu chose kuzomera Sabata la pa Sondo nga ni zuŵa la kupumura. Hule wa Ture watayambenge dankha kuchita uzaghali na chikoko cha charu pa dango la pa Sondo ilo likwiza mwaluŵiro, ndipo pamanyuma pake wafumenge na kuchita uzaghali na mafumu ghose ghanyake gha charu chapasi.

In verse thirteen, “the [United States] doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Fire represents an unholy message. Tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost represented a holy message that was accompanied with the ability to convey that message to the entire world. The fire that is brought down out of heaven by the United States will also impact every nation, and every tongue.

Ba temana ya zomi na misato, “[Ameríka] esalaka makamwisi minene, na boye ete ezali kokitisa moto uta na likoló kino na mabele, na miso ya bato.” Moto ezali komonisa nsango ya mbindo. Minoko ya moto na mokolo ya Pentekote emonisaki nsango mosantu oyo ezalaki kokende elongo na makoki ya kopesa nsango yango na mokili mobimba. Moto oyo ekokitisa uta na likoló na États-Unis ekosimba mpe bikólo nyonso, mpe minoko nyonso.

In verse fourteen, the United States deceives “them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which the [United States] 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.” The deception that is employed to deceive the world by the United States is represented by the fire that came down from heaven in the previous verse. The fire from heaven produces miracles that are employed by the United States to command the world to establish a one-world government that consists of the combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship.

Dalam ayat empat belas, Amerika Syarikat menipu “mereka yang diam di bumi dengan perantaraan mukjizat-mukjizat itu yang [Amerika Syarikat] berkuasa melakukannya di hadapan binatang itu; sambil berkata kepada mereka yang diam di bumi, supaya mereka membuat suatu patung bagi binatang itu, yang telah mendapat luka oleh pedang, namun tetap hidup.” Penipuan yang digunakan oleh Amerika Syarikat untuk memperdayakan dunia digambarkan oleh api yang turun dari syurga dalam ayat sebelumnya. Api dari syurga itu menghasilkan mukjizat-mukjizat yang digunakan oleh Amerika Syarikat untuk memerintahkan dunia supaya menubuhkan suatu pemerintahan sedunia yang terdiri daripada gabungan gereja dan negara, dengan gereja menguasai hubungan tersebut.

This is what the relationship of Ahab and Jezebel represented when Elijah was raised up. Elijah’s battle at Mount Carmel was fulfilled in the beginning of the United States during the movement of the first angel from 1840 to 1844, for the purpose of distinguishing the true prophet of Protestantism from all of the false prophets of Protestantism.

Inilah yang dilambangkan oleh hubungan antara Ahab dan Izebel ketika Elia dibangkitkan. Pertarungan Elia di Gunung Karmel digenapi pada permulaan Amerika Serikat selama pergerakan malaikat yang pertama dari tahun 1840 hingga 1844, dengan tujuan membedakan nabi sejati dari Protestanisme dari semua nabi palsu Protestanisme.

It is fulfilled again at the ending of the United States, during the test of the formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, and ends at the soon-coming Sunday law.

E phethagala nakambe mbhikhathi ekupheleni kwe-United States, ngesikhatsi sekuhlolwa kwekubunjwa kwemfanekiso wesilo lokwacala nga-September 11, 2001, futsi lokuphela emtsetfweni weliSontfo lotawufika masinyane.

Elijah’s perfect fulfillment takes place before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, which is the seven last plagues. Therefore, Mount Carmel, Elijah, Ahab and Jezebel are represented in the work of the United States forcing planet earth to accept the one-world government of the United Nations that is ruled over by the Catholic Church. The United States accomplishes this act through its military might, its economic strength and the corrupted hypnotic communications that it directs and controls, represented by what is called the “information super highway” of the worldwide web.

Kegenapan Elia yang sempurna berlaku sebelum hari Tuhan yang besar dan dahsyat, iaitu tujuh malapetaka terakhir. Oleh itu, Gunung Karmel, Elia, Ahab dan Izebel dilambangkan dalam pekerjaan Amerika Syarikat yang memaksa seluruh bumi menerima pemerintahan satu dunia Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu yang diperintah oleh Gereja Katolik. Amerika Syarikat melaksanakan tindakan ini melalui kekuatan ketenteraannya, kekuatan ekonominya, dan komunikasi hipnotik yang telah rosak, yang diarahkan dan dikawalnya, yang dilambangkan oleh apa yang disebut sebagai “lebuhraya super maklumat” jaringan sesawang sedunia.

In verse fifteen, we are informed that “the [United States] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” The threat of death by the military might of the United States, then representing the premier king of the United Nations, empowers the one-world government of the United Nations to speak. The action of speaking is accomplished through a legislative and judicial authority. The legislative branch of the United Nations is in New York and the judicial branch of the United Nations is in The Hague, Netherlands. The Hague represents the Old World and New York the New World. Both the United States and the Netherlands have past histories where they stood out as premier defenders of liberty and freedom, but both end their respective histories—speaking as a dragon.

“As the Sabbath has become the special point of controversy throughout Christendom, and religious and secular authorities have combined to enforce the observance of the Sunday, the persistent refusal of a small minority to yield to the popular demand will make them objects of universal execration. . .. and a decree will finally be issued against those who hallow the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, denouncing them as deserving of the severest punishment and giving the people liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death. Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.

“The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress described by the prophet as the time of Jacob’s trouble.” The Great Controversy, 615, 616.

“Vathu va Xikwembu hi nkarhi wolowo va ta nghenisiwa eka swiyimo sweswo swa ku xaniseka ni maxangu leswi muprofeta a swi hlamuselaka tanihi nkarhi wa ku xaniseka ka Yakobo.” The Great Controversy, 615, 616.

In verse sixteen and seventeen, after the image of the beast has been set up and empowered to speak, the “[United States] 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.”

Pada ayat enam belas dan tujuh belas, setelah patung binatang itu didirikan dan diberi kuasa untuk berbicara, “[Amerika Serikat] menyebabkan semua orang, baik kecil maupun besar, kaya maupun miskin, merdeka maupun hamba, menerima suatu tanda pada tangan kanannya, atau pada dahinya; dan supaya tidak seorang pun dapat membeli atau menjual, selain dia yang memiliki tanda itu, atau nama binatang itu, atau bilangan namanya.”

The formation of the image of the beast is the test that precedes the test of the mark of the beast. If we do not pass the test that is represented by the formation of the image of the beast, we will fail the test of the mark of the beast. They are two different tests, and they are two different types of tests.

Pembentukan patung binatang itu ialah ujian yang mendahului ujian tanda binatang itu. Jika kita tidak lulus ujian yang dilambangkan oleh pembentukan patung binatang itu, kita akan gagal dalam ujian tanda binatang itu. Kedua-duanya ialah dua ujian yang berlainan, dan kedua-duanya ialah dua jenis ujian yang berlainan.

The formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, is the prophetic warning that the close of probation is about to take place. It is the Elijah message that identifies that Mount Carmel is on the near horizon, and that God’s people need to secure the oil of character, the oil of the Holy Spirit and the oil of the message of the Midnight Cry before the final call is made. They need to awaken, so that when Elijah asks them, “How long halt ye between two opinions?”—they will not be speechless, for to be speechless then is to receive the mark of the beast. The image of the beast test represents the work of understanding the message that announces the close of the judgment, just as the message of the Millerites announced the opening of the judgment.

Pembentukan gambaran binatang yang bermula pada 11 September 2001 merupakan amaran nubuatan bahawa penutupan tempoh percubaan hampir berlaku. Inilah pekabaran Elia yang mengenal pasti bahawa Gunung Karmel sudah di ambang dekat, dan bahawa umat Tuhan perlu memastikan adanya minyak tabiat, minyak Roh Kudus, dan minyak pekabaran Seruan Tengah Malam sebelum panggilan terakhir disampaikan. Mereka perlu dibangunkan, supaya apabila Elia bertanya kepada mereka, “Berapa lama lagi kamu hendak teragak-agak antara dua pendapat?”—mereka tidak akan terdiam, kerana terdiam pada waktu itu bererti menerima tanda binatang itu. Ujian gambaran binatang itu melambangkan pekerjaan memahami pekabaran yang mengumumkan penutupan penghakiman, sama seperti pekabaran golongan Millerit telah mengumumkan pembukaan penghakiman.

The mark of the beast test, involves no choice, for it contains no element of probationary time. It is a point in time, not a period of time. It is a crisis, and therefore it is a litmus test that will identify the character of those Israelites that have been summoned to Mount Carmel by Ahab at the Sunday law. They will then demonstrate the character that they have developed during the previous period of time, prophetically called the image of the beast test.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:7–15.

Oleh itu (sebagaimana Roh Kudus berfirman, Pada hari ini, jika kamu mau mendengar suara-Nya, janganlah keraskan hatimu seperti pada masa pemberontakan, pada hari pencobaan di padang gurun: ketika nenek moyangmu mencobai Aku, menguji Aku, dan melihat pekerjaan-pekerjaan-Ku empat puluh tahun lamanya. Sebab itu Aku murka terhadap angkatan itu, lalu berkata, Mereka senantiasa sesat di dalam hati mereka; dan mereka tidak mengenal jalan-jalan-Ku. Maka Aku bersumpah dalam murka-Ku, Mereka tidak akan masuk ke dalam perhentian-Ku.) Waspadalah, saudara-saudara, supaya jangan ada di antara kamu hati yang jahat dan tidak percaya, sehingga murtad dari Allah yang hidup. Tetapi nasihatilah seorang akan yang lain setiap hari, selama masih dapat dikatakan “Pada hari ini,” supaya jangan ada di antara kamu yang menjadi tegar hatinya oleh tipu daya dosa. Karena kita telah menjadi peserta dalam Kristus, jika kita berpegang teguh sampai kepada akhirnya pada keyakinan yang mula-mula kita miliki; sementara dikatakan, Pada hari ini, jika kamu mau mendengar suara-Nya, janganlah keraskan hatimu seperti pada masa pemberontakan. Ibrani 3:7–15.
