Jones' Logic
Loogikii Joons
Jones’ logic that the first angel of Revelation fourteen cannot be separated from the following two angels is rock-solid. His identification of the structural connection of those three angels with the trumpet angels is absolutely air-tight. His emphasis was no doubt upon the three angels of Revelation fourteen, but the logic for applying them as “inseparable,” is just as valid for all the angels that preceded them.
جونس جي اها منطق ته مڪاشفي باب چوڏهين جو پهريون فرشتو ان کان پوءِ ايندڙ ٻن فرشتن کان جدا نٿو ڪري سگهجي، پٿر جهڙي مضبوط آهي. انهن ٽن فرشتن جي بناوتي لاڳاپي کي صورن وارن فرشتن سان سندس سڃاڻپ بلڪل بي عيب ۽ ناقابلِ ترديد آهي. بيشڪ سندس زور مڪاشفي باب چوڏهين جي انهن ٽن فرشتن تي هو، پر انهن کي «الڳ نه ٿي سگهندڙ» طور لاڳو ڪرڻ جي جيڪا منطق آهي، سا انهن سڀني فرشتن لاءِ به اوتري ئي درست آهي، جيڪي انهن کان اڳ آيا هئا.
Because he was focusing upon the three angels of Revelation fourteen, he did not carry out his own logic to its ultimate conclusion. Ultimately the logic he used to connect the fifth, sixth and seventh woe trumpets to the three angels of Revelation fourteen, also included taking the line of the trumpets all the way back to the first of the seven trumpet angels.
Revelation පදාර්ථ දාහතරෙහි දූතයන් තිදෙනා කෙරෙහි ඔහුගේ අවධානය යොමු වී තිබූ බැවින්, ඔහු තමන්ගේම තර්කය එහි අවසාන නිගමනය දක්වා ගෙන ගියේ නැත. අවසානයේදී, පස්වන, හයවන සහ හත්වන “අපදාව” නළාදූතයන් Revelation පදාර්ථ දාහතරෙහි දූතයන් තිදෙනා සමඟ සම්බන්ධ කිරීමට ඔහු භාවිත කළ තර්කය, නළා මාලාවේ රේඛාව නළා දූතයන් සත්දෙනාගෙන් පළමුවැන්නා දක්වාම ආපසු ගෙන යෑමද ඇතුළත් කළේය.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. … And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. Revelation 8:2, 6.
Anis ergamoota torban kanneen Waaqa dura dhaabatan arge; isaanittis malakata torban kennaman. … Ergamoottan torban kanneen malakata torban qabanis afuufuuf of qopheessan. Mul’ata Yohaannis 8:2, 6.
The series of angels begins with the “seven” trumpet angels, and the line of angels in Revelation begins with the first trumpet all the way through to the third angel’s warning of the mark of the beast. Jones is correct for identifying a distinction from the first four trumpets and the last three woe trumpets, for that “four and three” prophetic structure is also found in the churches and the seals. Established upon three witnesses in the book of Revelation allows those who choose to see that seven as a symbol, also contains four as a symbol and three as a symbol.

What we have been identifying in the recent past is that the first and second angels of Revelation fourteen are empowered by a time prophecy of Islam of the first and second woes, and that the empowerment of the third angel is accomplished by the fulfillment of the third woe on 9/11. What Jones’ application identifies, (even though he did not make my point) is that every angel from the first trumpet angel of Revelation eight to the third woe trumpet of Revelation eleven is inseparably connected with the three angels of Revelation fourteen. They are symbols within the same prophetic line. They must be recognized as such to understand the various roles that each of the angels represent. So just as the seven churches, seals and trumpets represent seven, and also the symbol of four and three within the overall symbolism of the seven (churches, seals and trumpets); the line of angels from the first of seven trumpet angels all the way through to the third angel must be considered as a whole. This identifies a line of eleven angels.

The three angels of Revelation fourteen represent the warning message of the Millerites that announced the opening of the judgment and thereafter the warning message of the one hundred and forty-four thousand that is announcing the close of judgment.
Ergaan saddan Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha afur keessatti ibsaman, ergaa akeekkachiisaa Milerota banuu murtii labse bakka bu’u; achii booddees ergaa akeekkachiisaa dhibba afurtamii afur kuma tokkoo fi afurtamaa afurii, isa cufamuu murtii labsaa jiru, bakka bu’u.
The seven trumpets represent powers that God employed providentially to bring judgment upon nations that enforced the worship of the sun.
Malakata torban sun humnoonni saba aduu waaqeffachuu dirqisiisan irratti murtii fiduuf humnoota Waaqayyo karaa qajeelcha isaatiin itti fayyadame agarsiisu.
The first four trumpets identify the progressive demise of Western Rome by the year 476.
Malakata afran jalqabaa afran duraa keessa Roomiin Dhihaa bara 476tti suuta suutaan akkamitti kufte akka ta’e ibsu.
The fifth and sixth identify the demise of Eastern Rome from 1449 unto 1453.
Inni shanaffaa fi jahaffaan kufaatii Roomii Bahaa bara 1449 irraa kaasee hamma 1453tti ibsu.
The last three trumpets represent Islam of the three woes.
Sagaleen xomboree dhumaa sadeen badiisaa sadii keessaa Islaamummaa bakka bu’u.
The angel in Revelation ten is Christ, who descends to empower the movement in the beginning and He descends again in Revelation eighteen, to empower the movement at the end.

The seventh trumpet began to sound on October 22, 1844 at the opening of the judgment which is the antitypical Day of Atonement. The trumpet of Jubilee was to be sounded on the Day of Atonement. Two trumpets therefore are sounded at the judgment; the Jubilee trumpet and the seventh trumpet.
Malkaan torbaffaan inni torbaffaan jalqabe dhageessifamuu Onkoloolessa 22, 1844tti yeroo murtiin, inni Guyyaa Araaraa fakkeenya dhugaa taʼe, baname. Malkaan Iyyoobelee Guyyaa Araaraatti dhageessifamuu qaba ture. Kanaafuu malkaanonni lama murtiitti dhageessifamu; malkaa Iyyoobelee fi malkaa torbaffaa.
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. Leviticus 25:9–11.
Ergasii torbii iyyoobbeesa torbataa keessa guyyaa kudhanaffaatti afuufsi; guyyaa araaraattis afuuffiin torban sun biyya keessan hunda keessatti haa dhagaʼamu. Waggaa shantamaffaas qulqulleessaa; jiraattota isaa hundaafis biyya guutuu keessatti bilisummaa labsaa; innis iyyoobbeessa isiniif haa taʼu; namni hundinuu gara qabeenya isaatti haa deebiʼu, namni hundinuu gara maatii isaatti haa deebiʼu.

Lewwoota 25:9–11.
The context that identifies the scattering of Israel for “seven times” located in the very next chapter in Leviticus, is set forth in the verses that lead to the instruction of sounding the jubilee trumpet on the Day of Atonement.
Haalli ni facaasuun Israa’el “yeroo torbaaf” raawwatamu ibsu, kan boqonnaa itti aanuuma keessa Leewwota keessatti argamu, lakkoofsota qajeelfama guyyaa Araaraa irratti malakata Iyyoobelee afuufuuf kennamutti geessan keessatti kaa’ameera.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land. And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Leviticus 25:2–8.
Israaʼel ijoolleetti dubbadhu; akkanas isaaniin jedhi: Yommuu isin biyya ani isiniif kennu sana seentan, biyyi sun Waaqayyoof Sanbata haa eegdu.

Garuu waggaa torbaffaatti biyyi sun boqonnaa Sanbata haa qabaattu, Sanbata Waaqayyoof taʼe; qonna kee hin facaafin, iddoo wayinii keetiis hin murtin. Midhaan haamamuu kee keessaa kan ofuma isaatiin biqile hin haamin; ija wayinii muka wayinii kee kan hin suphaminis walitti hin qabin; inni waggaa boqonnaa biyyaati.

Ati immoo ofii keetiif Sanbata waggootaa torba lakkaaʼi, yeroo torba dachaa torba; barri Sanbata waggootaa torban sanaa siif waggaa afurtamii sagalii taʼa. Leewwota 25:2–8.
When Miller recognized the judgment against Israel for breaking the sabbath rest for the land in chapter twenty-six, he applied the principle that a day represents a year and discovered that a year is three hundred and sixty days, and that seven times three hundred and sixty was twenty-five hundred and twenty years of punishment for breaking the covenant. It was the first prophetic truth he discovered. It’s the foundation of the truths that made up the foundation that Christ laid through the work of Miller. The Jubilee trumpet is an announcement of deliverance and freedom.
Yommuu Miiler boqonnaa digdamii jahaffaa keessatti Israaʼel sababa boqonnaa Sanbata biyyaaf ajajame cabsuu isaaniitiin murtiin irratti murtaaʼe yeroo hubate, inni qajeelfama guyyaan tokko waggaa tokko bakka buʼa jedhu hojii irra oolchee, waggaan tokko guyyoota dhibba sadii fi jahaatama akka taʼe argate; yeroo torba immoo dhibba sadii fi jahaatamatti baayʼifamu waggoota kuma lama dhibba shan fi digdamii taʼuun adabbii kakuu cabsuutiif murtaaʼe taʼuu isaa hubate.

Malakanni Iyyoobeelawaa bilisummaa fi hiikamuu labsuudha.
The seventh trumpet is Islam of the third woe.
Malbulchiin torbaffaan sadaffaan Islaama dha.
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7.
Garuu guyyoota sagalee ergamaa torbaffaa keessatti, yeroo inni afuufa jalqabutti, iccitii Waaqayyoo akka xumuramu, akkuma inni tajaajiltoota isaa raajotaatti labsedheetti. Mul’ata Yohaannis 10:7.
The seventh trumpet of Islam is an external prophetic truth and the Jubilee trumpet is the internal prophetic truth of justification by faith—deliverance from sin, which according to Sister White is the third angel in verity. In the period when the seventh trumpet is sounding, the mystery of Christ in you the hope of glory will be perfected as Christ combines His Divinity with the humanity of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Those who then receive the seal of God will proclaim a trumpet message of warning represented as the third woe and also the warning of the third angel. The third woe empowers the message of the third angel when the angel who is no less a personage than Jesus Christ descends with a message in His hand.
Xurumbaa torbaffaan Islaamaa dhugaa raajii alaa ti; xurumbaan Iyyooblii immoo dhugaa raajii keessaa taʼee, amantiidhaan qajeelummaa—cubbuurraa bilisa baʼuu—agarsiisa; kunis akka Siister Waayititti, dhugumaan ergamaa sadaffaa dha. Yeroo xurumbaan torbaffaan sagalee isaa dhageessisutti, iccitiin “Kiristoos isin keessa jiru, abdiin ulfinaa” jedhu ni raawwatama; yeroo sanattis Kiristoos Waaqummaa Isaa namummaa isaanii wajjin tokko dhibba afurtamii afur kumaatti ni walitti makaa.

Iyyi sadaffaan ergaa ergamaa sadaffaa humneessa, yeroo ergamaan nama Yesus Kiristoos gadi hin taane tokko ergaa harka Isaa keessa qabuun gad buʼutti.
When we identify that it was a time prophecy of the first and second woe that empowered the first angel’s message, and a prophecy of the third woe that empowers the third angel’s message, we are identifying the trumpets as ‘judgments that were brought upon Rome in response to Sunday enforcement.’ Those providential judgments, particularly the last three woe trumpets, align and parallel the warning message of Revelation fourteen’s three angels. Two woes and two angels in the Millerite history and the third woe and the third angel in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. In the beginning history of the first and second angels, the message of the opening of the judgment was empowered by a fulfillment of Islam of the first and second woes. In the ending history of the third angel the message announcing the close of judgment was empowered by a fulfillment of Islam of the third woe.
Yeroo raajii yeroo balaa isa jalqabaa fi isa lammaffaa ergamaa isa jalqabaatti humna kenna ture taʼuu, akkasumas raajii balaa isa sadaffaa ergamaa isa sadaffaatti humna kennu taʼuu yeroo nuti adda baasnu, malakatawwan akka “firdii mootummaa Roomaa irratti kabajamuu Dilbataa dirqisiifameef deebii taʼee fidaman” jedhamanii adda baasaa jirra.

Seenaa jalqabaa ergamaa isa jalqabaa fi isa lammaffaa keessatti, ergaan banuu firdii labsu raawwatamuu Islaamaa balaa isa jalqabaa fi isa lammaffaaatiin humneffame. Seenaa dhumaa ergamaa isa sadaffaa keessatti, ergaan cufamuu firdii labsu raawwatamuu Islaamaa balaa isa sadaffaatiin humneffame.
The empowerment at the beginning and ending was represented by the angel of Revelation ten and eighteen, “who was no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” The external message of Islam and the internal message of judgment is the external third woe trumpet and the internal message of judgment is the trumpet of the third angel. The external trumpet of Islam is the prophecy of twenty-five hundred and twenty years and the internal trumpet of the third angel is the twenty-three hundred years. Both arrived and sounded at the opening of the judgment of the dead, and both arrived again at the opening of the judgment of the living.
Humni jalqabaa fi xumuraa fi xumura irratti argame ergamaa Mul’ata kudhanii fi kudha saddeetii tiin bakka buufame; innis, “nama Yesus Kiristoos caalaa gadi aanaa hin taane” ture. Ergaan alaa Islaamaa fi ergaan keessaa murtii, iyya badii sadaffaa alaa dha; ergaan keessaa murtiis iyya ergamaa sadaffaa ti. Iyyi alaa Islaamaa raajii waggoota kuma lamaa fi dhibba shanii fi digdamii ti; iyyi keessaas kan ergamaa sadaffaa waggoota kuma lamaa fi dhibba sadii ti. Lamaan isaanii iyyuu yeroo murtiin warra du’anii baname ga’anii sagalee isaanii dhageessisan; yeroo murtiin warra jiranii banamettis deebi’anii ammas ga’an.
The angel of Revelation ten descended on August 11, 1840 in fulfillment of the prophecy of Islam and in so doing, the angel typified the descent of the angel of Revelation eighteen with a fulfillment of a prophecy of Islam. God’s judgment upon the rebellion of the Sunday law in 321, and then again in 538 is represented by the first six trumpets, and His judgment for the soon-coming Sunday law rebellion is represented by the seventh trumpet, which is the third woe and also the third angel. The warning message of the beginning of the judgment on October 22, 1844 and the warning message of the judgment of the living on 9/11 were both empowered by the seventh angel in the sequence that Jones set forth. Six trumpet angels in chapters eight and nine, then in chapter ten the angel descends who is no less a personage than Jesus Christ. He is the seventh in the sequence of angels, who is followed in chapter eleven by the third woe, which is the seventh trumpet that began to sound in 1844, but is the eighth in the series of angels that lead to the ninth, tenth and eleventh angels in Revelation fourteen.

The third angel’s message cannot be isolated from the first and second angels’ messages, but neither can it be separated from the seven trumpets of God’s judgment upon apostasy. The first four trumpets of judgment in chapter eight of Revelation identify the progressive demise of Western Rome after Constantine’s first Sunday law in 321 and began at his division of the empire into east and west in 330.
Ergaan ergamaa sadaffaa jalqabaa fi lammaffaa irraa adda baafamee hin ilaalamu; haa taʼu malee, ergaa sana afuufaalee torban murtii Waaqayyoo gantummaa irratti dhufan irraa illee addaan baafuun hin dandaʼamu.

“When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land; and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin.” Review and Herald, December 18, 1888.
“Yommuu sabni keenya, manneen maree seeraa isaa keessatti, mirga amantii isaanii wajjin walqabatee sammuu namaa hidhuuf seerota baasuu, kabaja Dilbataa dirqisiisuu, warra Sanbata guyyaa torbaffaa eegan irratti humna cunqursaa hojjettuu taʼe oolchu jalqabu, seerri Waaqayyoo biyya keenya keessatti, kaayyoo fi hojii isaa hundumaan, diigamee akka hin jirretti lakkaaʼama; gantummaan biyyaalessaa immoo badiisa biyyaalessaatiin ni hordofama.” Review and Herald, December 18, 1888.
The principle of national apostasy bringing national ruin was brought upon Constantine’s nation beginning with the first four trumpets that brought Western Rome to a conclusion by 476. Eastern Rome came to its conclusion in 1453, though it had prophetically lost its national sovereignty on July 27, 1449. Unlike Babylon, who was overthrown in one night, Rome, both western and eastern was brought to their endings progressively. The demise of Western Rome under the first four trumpets by 476, represents the demise of the United States under four trumpets, which at one level represents the four generations of the United States that began in 1798 and ends at the Sunday law. Those four generations parallel the four generations of Adventism, which parallel the first four churches of Revelation two, and the four escalating abominations of Ezekiel chapter eight and the four waves of grasshoppers in the book of Joel.

The fifth and sixth trumpets brought down Eastern Rome, and eastern Rome in prophetic relation to western Rome, represents the state. Western Rome represents the church. Western Rome also represents the United States, who is conquered first, as was western Rome.

“As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the Papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18.
“Akka Ameerikaan, biyya bilisummaa amantii, qalbii namaa dirqisiisuudhaan fi namoota Sanbata sobaa kabajuuf dirqamsiisuudhaan Paaphaasummaa wajjin yoo tokkummaatti hidhattu, saboonni biyya lafaa hundumaa keessa jiran fakkeenya ishee hordofuuf ni geggeeffamu.” Testimonies, jildii 6, 18.
The first four trumpets represent the four generations of American history, and when the United States falls, the glorious land of verse forty-one of Daniel eleven has just fallen, and the next obstacle is Egypt, a symbol of the rest of the nations of the world. The United Nations, who are the ten kings, then agree to give their seventh kingdom to the papacy, for ‘a short space—one hour,’ in Revelation seventeen. This occurs at Herod’s birthday party, when he pledges half his kingdom. At Herod’s birthday party, in that hour the handwriting appears upon the plaster of the walls, and Belshazzar is slain. That hour arrives at the Sunday law and continues until the close of human probation. The seventh kingdom is conquered as typified by the destruction of the walls of Constantinople that came down in 1453. From the Sunday law in the United States, as typified by 1449; unto the fall of Constantinople in 1453 is four symbolic years. The papacy received its deadly wound in 1798.

In Daniel eleven verse forty the papacy fell in 1798, at the time of the end. Then the king of the south fell in 1989, at the time of the end. The United States falls in verse forty-one and Egypt falls in verse forty-two and the papacy comes to its second and final fall in verse forty-five.

“From the rise and fall of nations as made plain in the books of Daniel and the Revelation, we need to learn how worthless is mere outward and worldly glory. Babylon, with all its power and magnificence, the like of which our world has never since beheld,—power and magnificence which to the people of that day seemed so stable and enduring,—how completely has it passed away! As ‘the flower of the grass,’ it has perished. James 1:10. So perished the Medo-Persian kingdom, and the kingdoms of Grecia and Rome. And so perishes all that has not God for its foundation. Only that which is bound up with His purpose, and expresses His character, can endure. His principles are the only steadfast things our world knows.” Prophets and Kings, 548.

The fall of the United States (the false prophet) in verse forty-one was typified by 1449, and the fall of Egypt (the dragon) in verse forty-two was typified by 1453 and the papacy (the beast) comes to its end with none to help as typified by 1798. The false prophet and the dragon are brought down by trumpet powers, and the beast is brought down by a dragon power.

The number four is a symbol of the dissolution of a kingdom. Alexander’s kingdom disintegrated into four kingdoms, and Egypt came down in the Red Sea in the fourth generation, and Israel is bowing to the sun in the fourth abomination of Ezekiel eight. The four generations a Protestantism and Republicans in the earth beast began in 1798 and ends at the soon-coming Sunday law for both horns. Ezekiel’s four sore judgments upon Jerusalem illustrate four judgments upon the United States, and those four judgments upon the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy typify the four years from 1449 unto 1453 when the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy agrees to give half their kingdom unto the papacy in a church and state relationship that the whore of Tyre reigns over.

The four years of 1449 unto 1453 represent the demise of the seventh kingdom at the Sunday law, and they also represent the period of the demise of the eighth kingdom from the Sunday law unto the close of probation. The conquering of Egypt, who is the world and also the dragon that is given to the papacy, is a fractal at the beginning of the period symbolized by the four years of 1449 unto 1453. This identifies the fall of Constantinople at the Sunday law, and then again when Michael stands up. When Michael stands up the four angels are fully released according to inspiration.

Four divisions of Alexander’s kingdom, four trumpets upon Western Rome, four winds released on Eastern Rome, four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, four winds released when the papacy comes to its end with none to help. With these prophetic symbols set forth we will consider the second woe in the context of applying it at the soon coming Sunday law.

The Council of Florence
Mana Maree Firenzee
In 1439, at the Council of Florence (also called the Union of Florence), representatives of the Eastern Orthodox Church (led by the Byzantine Emperor John VIII Palaiologos and the Patriarch of Constantinople) signed a formal decree of union with the Roman Catholic Church. They agreed to identify the Pope of Rome as the head (supreme authority) of the entire Church.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Ephesians 5:23.

The Nicene Creed
Amantii Niqiiyaa keessaa jechuun ifteessuun ni danda’ama.
The Emperor and Patriarch accepted the “Filioque clause” in the Nicene Creed, which was an addition to Nicene Creed, claiming that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Nicene Creed is one of the most important and widely used statements within the history of the Catholic faith. The Nicene Creed is a formal summary of core Catholic beliefs. It was originally written to defend the truth about who Jesus Christ is. In 325, a major controversy arose because a priest named Arius taught that Jesus was created by God the Father and was not fully God.
Mootichi fi Paatriyaarkiin “jecha Filioque” kan amantii Niqiiyaa keessatti dabalame fudhatan; kunis amantii Niqiiyaa irratti dabalata taʼee, Hafuurri Qulqulluun Abbaa fi Ilma irraa akka baʼu jedhu ture. Amantiin Niqiiyaa keessaa ibsaalee seenaa amantii Kaatolikii keessatti baayʼee barbaachisoo fi balʼinaan itti fayyadaman keessaa tokko dha. Amantiin Niqiiyaa cuunfaa sirna-qabeessa amantiiwwan buʼuuraa Kaatolikii ti. Innis jalqaba irraa dhugaa eenyummaa Yesuus Kiristoos ilaalchisee jiru eegsisuu irratti kan barreeffame dha. Bara 325 keessa falmiin guddaan kaʼe; sababni isaas lubni Ariyus jedhamu tokko Yesuus akka Waaqayyo Abbaan uumame, kanaafis guutummaatti Waaqayyo akka hin taane barsiise.
Emperor Constantine called the First Council of Nicaea to settle the issue. The council strongly affirmed that Jesus is fully God, “of the same substance” as the Father. The Creed was later expanded at the Council of Constantinople in 381. It is to be noted at this point; that the Nicene Creed was established in the history of Constantine the first, and it would be an issue for the last Constantine, who was Constantine the eleventh, who was the last Emperor of the eastern Byzantine Empire. Constantine the Great, who was the first is repeatedly set forth as a subject in Bible prophecy. He is the ruler at the beginning of the empire of the east and therefore typifies the ruler at the ending of the empire of the east. The fact that the Nicene Creed is an element of both the beginning and ending histories must be noted by a student of prophecy, if they understand the principle of alpha and omega.
Impayera Qonxexiin Mandara Niqeyaa Isa Tokkoffaa dhimma sana furuuf waame. Manni Maree sun Yesuus guutummaatti Waaqa akka taʼe, “abbaa wajjin uumama tokkicha” akka qabu cimsinee mirkaneesse.

In 381, the Nicene Creed was updated with the doctrine of Purgatory, the doctrine of the Eucharist, with the acceptance of the use of unleavened bread for the Eucharist, which was a Latin practice. The Creed of 381 also accepted the Catholic understanding of original sin and the afterlife. It ended with this key line: “We also define that the holy apostolic see and the Roman Pontiff holds the primacy over the whole world and is the true vicar of Christ.”
Bara 381tti, amantiin Niqiyaa haaromfamee barsiisa Qulqulleessaa, barsiisa Eucharistii, fi itti fayyadama buddeena raacitii hin qabneef Eucharistiidhaaf fudhatama argate; kun immoo hojii Laatiinotaa ture. Amantiin Bara 381 akkasumas hubannaa Kaatolikii waaʼee cubbuu dhalootaa fi jireenya duʼa boodaa fudhate. Innis sarara ijoo kanaan xumurame: “Nus immoo teessoon qulqulluun ergamootaa fi Phaaphaasiin Roomaa addunyaa guutuu irratti dursa qabaachuu fi bakka buʼaa dhugaa Kiristoos taʼuu ibsinee murteessina.”
At the Council of Florence another updated version was signed on July 6, 1439, 14 years before Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The union was signed under heavy political pressure. The Byzantine Empire was desperate for military help from the West against the advancing Ottomans. When the Greek delegates returned home, the agreement was strongly rejected by the majority of the clergy, monks, and ordinary people in the East. Most of the bishops who signed it later withdrew their support. The union was never fully implemented and was formally repudiated by the Eastern Orthodox Church in the following years. By the time Constantinople fell in 1453, the union had already effectively collapsed. It is often described by historians as a political union that failed due to deep theological, cultural, and popular resistance.

At the First Council of Nicaea of 325 the Nicene Creed was adopted. It is marked five years before the year 330, when the 360 years of Daniel eleven, verse twenty-four, represented as a “time” concluded.

The year 31 BC and 330 both mark the “time appointed” of verses twenty-seven and twenty-nine of Daniel eleven.

Daani’el 11:27, 29.
The beginning (330) and ending (1449–1453) of the prophetic line of eastern Rome is represented by the first and last emperor Constantine. The alpha and omega of the prophetic line of eastern Rome, called the Byzantine Empire is connected to the ending of the three hundred- and sixty-years Imperial Rome ruled supremely from the battle of Actium in 31 BC unto the year 330, and then onward to 1453. Before the battle of Actium in 31 BC Mark Antony and Augustus Ceasar spoke lies at one table that did not prosper. Before the year 330, in 325 the Nicene Creed was adopted. Before the year 1453 the updated version of the very same Nicene Creed was adopted. Before 31 BC two political figures told lies at one table. In 325 the spiritual lies were told at one table. Those two witnesses identify the political and spiritual lies that were adopted in 1439 at the Council of Florence. That updated Nicene Creed was called the Decree of Union.

The first waymark of lies at one table came before 31 BC, and was between two political factions of pagan Rome. The time appointed for those lies was 31 BC, and it consisted of Augustus, a symbol of Rome against a confederacy of a man and woman representing Egypt. The second set of lies was 325, and the time appointed was 330. The third set of lies was in 1439, and the time appointed was 1449–1453. Those at the table in 1439 represented western and eastern Rome, with eastern Rome seeking a political goal, by agreeing to a religious argument. 31 BC, followed by 330 and then 1453 represent a triple application of the line of Rome.

The political threat of the alliance of Marc Antony and Cleopatra, typified the spiritual threat of the heresy of Arianism in 325, which in turn typified the political and religious threat of the Islamic Turks in 1439.

The doctrines of the Nicene Creed are lies and there is no truth in them. The document signed on July 6, 1439, at the Council of Florence was called the Decree of Union and represented the same lies and more. When the delegates returned to Constantinople in 1439, they were met with anger and accusations of betrayal. The saying went around: “Better the Turkish turban than the Pope’s mitre.”

The union was signed mainly because the Byzantine Emperor desperately needed Western military help against the Ottomans. Once it became clear that very little (or no) military aid was coming, support for the union evaporated. In 1450–1451, several Eastern synods rejected the union, and after Constantinople fell in 1453, the union was completely abandoned. The ultimate outcome of the Decree of Union of Florence is considered by the Eastern Orthodox Church as a failed and rejected council. It is not recognized as valid. The Roman Catholic Church, however, still considers it a valid ecumenical council.

We are setting the logic to understand how the prophetic characteristics of the second woe are repeated in the history of the third woe. The one-hundred-and-fifty-year prophecy of the first woe began on July 27, 1299 and ended on July 27, 1449.

Constantine XI Palaiologos was born in 1404 and reigned from January, 1449 unto May 29, 1453. He was the final emperor of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, which had lasted over 1,100 years. He bravely led the defense of Constantinople during the Ottoman siege in 1453 with only about 7,000 to 8,000 defenders against Mehmed II’s army of 80,000 plus. He died fighting on the city walls on May 29, 1453 when Constantinople finally fell. His body was never conclusively identified. His death marked the end of the Roman Empire (the last direct continuation of the empire founded by Augustus in 27 BC).

He is remembered in Greek history and Orthodox tradition as a heroic figure — often called “the Marble Emperor” in legend (the belief that he will one day return to save Constantinople).

John VIII Palaiologos (1392–1448) was the second-to-last Byzantine Emperor who reigned from 1425–1448. He was the eldest son of Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos and the older brother of Constantine XI. John VIII spent most of his reign desperately trying to save the dying Byzantine Empire from the Ottomans. In 1439, he personally traveled to Italy and presided over the Council of Florence, where he and the Eastern Orthodox delegation temporarily agreed to reunite with the Roman Catholic Church and accept the Pope as head of the Church. Constantine the Great had also presided over the Council of Nicaea. John VIII hoped this union with the papacy would bring Western military help against the Turks, but the union was deeply unpopular back in Constantinople and ultimately failed. John VIII died in 1448 (of natural causes), just five years before Constantinople fell in 1453. His brother Constantine XI then became emperor and died defending the city.

Sana booda obboleessi isaa Qonistaantinoos XI mootummaa qabatee, magaalaa sana eeggachaa du’e.
When John VIII died in 1448, his brother Constantine XI was chosen as successor. By 1448 the Byzantine Empire was a tiny vassal state, and the Ottomans had significant influence over who sat on the throne in Constantinople. On July 27, 1449, a very significant political event occurred in the final years of the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Emperor John VIII Palaiologos had died earlier in 1448. His brother, Constantine XI Palaiologos (the last emperor), was proclaimed emperor in Constantinople. However, before Constantine XI officially ascended the throne, he sent ambassadors to the Ottoman Sultan (Murad II) and requested permission to reign. The Sultan granted that permission, and only then was Constantine XI formally crowned and recognized as emperor. This act was seen as the voluntary surrender of Byzantine independence. For the first time, a Byzantine emperor openly acknowledged that he ruled only by permission of the Ottoman Turks. Just four years later, in 1453, Constantinople fell to the Ottomans.
Yohaannis VIII yeroo bara 1448 keessatti duʼe, obboleessi isaa Qonistaantinoos XI akka bakka bu’aa isaa ta’uuf filatame. Bara 1448tti Mootummaan Bizaantiyem mootummaa xixiqqaa mootummaa jala-bultii ta’ee ture, akkasumas eenyutu Konstantinopoolis keessatti teessoo mootummaa irra taa’u irratti Usmaaniyyonni dhiibbaa guddaa qabu turan.

Mootichi Bizaantiyem, Yohaannis VIII Palaayoloogos, duraanuu bara 1448 keessatti du’ee ture. Obboleessi isaa, Qonistaantinoos XI Palaayoloogos (mooticha isa dhumaa), Konstantinopoolis keessatti mootii ta’ee labsame. Haa ta’u malee, Qonistaantinoos XI teessoo mootummaa irratti ifatti dura taa’uu isaa dura, ergamtoota gara Sulxaana Usmaaniyyootaa (Muraad II) ergee, akka mootummaa bulchuuf hayyamni isaaf kennamu gaafate. Sulxaan sun hayyama sana kenne, sana booda qofa Qonistaantinoos XI sirnaan gonfoo uffatee mootii ta’ee beekamtii argate. Gochoonni kun mootummaa Bizaantiyem bilisummaa isaa fedhiidhaan dabarsuu akka ta’eetti ilaalame. Yeroo jalqabaatiif, mootichi Bizaantiyem tokko ifatti mootummaa Usmaaniyyoota Turkii irraa hayyama argate qofaatiin akka mootummaa bulchu beeksise. Waggoota afur qofa booddee, bara 1453 keessatti, Konstantinopoolis Usmaaniyyootaaf kufe.
Three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days after July 27, 1449, on August 11, 1840, the Turks sought protection from Egypt by submitting to the four great European powers, thus fulfilling the prophecy of an hour, day, month and year. We have now set the logic in place to apply the first and second woe at the soon coming Sunday law. Peter as a symbol of the one hundred and forty-four thousand represents the movement of the third angel and William Miller represents the movement in the first and second angels. Both movements are associated with “keys.”

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:18, 19.
ଆଉ ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ କହୁଛି, ତୁମେ ପିତର, ଏବଂ ଏହି ଶିଳାର ଉପରେ ମୁଁ ମୋର କଳିସିଆ ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିବି; ଏବଂ ଅଧୋଲୋକର ଦ୍ୱାରମାନେ ତାହାର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ପ୍ରବଳ ହେବେ ନାହିଁ। ଆଉ ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରାଜ୍ୟର ଚାବିମାନେ ଦେବି; ଏବଂ ପୃଥିବୀରେ ତୁମେ ଯାହା କି ବାନ୍ଧିବ, ତାହା ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରେ ବାନ୍ଧାଯିବ; ଏବଂ ପୃଥିବୀରେ ତୁମେ ଯାହା କି ଖୋଲିବ, ତାହା ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରେ ଖୋଲାଯିବ। ମାଥିଉ 16:18, 19.
We will approach the battle of Nineveh in the next article as the “key” that not only opens the bottomless pit, but as the prophetic key that aligns the entire testimony of Daniel eleven into perfect order. In Miller’s dream the “key” attached to the casket was Miller’s method of Bible study. Proof texting of the Millerite history combined with “line upon line” in the history of the third angel is the key that allows the key of Revelation nine to unlock and align the hidden history of verse forty’s external message into order.

But the hand of Infinite Wisdom is seen among the wheels, and perfect order is the result of its work. Every wheel works in perfect harmony with every other.” Testimonies to Ministers, 214.
