Those on the wrong side of this final controversy of the symbol of Rome lean upon a flawed application of a triple application of prophecy as they suggest that the three Rome’s are defined by the three Sunday laws of the years 321, 538 and the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. In doing so they place an incorrect slant upon the rule and the prophetic history they select, as was also done in the controversy over the four insects of Joel. The four generations followed by four devouring insects in the first six verses of Joel address how God’s people are progressively decimated over four generations, and that the decimation was accomplished by Adventism’s acceptance of the theology of Rome and apostate Protestantism.

In the current controversy those who attempt to employ the Sunday law to define the three Rome’s, avoid the truth that there are actually four Sunday laws that are identified in God’s prophetic word, and that the year 321 represents the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, and the Sunday law of 538 typifies the Sunday law which is enforced upon all the nations of the world. Four Sunday laws does not identify three Sunday laws, especially when the third manifestation in a triple application of prophecy represents the final fulfillment. The soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is not the final Sunday law, it actually marks the beginning of a series of Sunday laws as each nation on the globe progressively accepts the mark of papal authority.

Those who were awakened in July 2023 are required to understand that the prophetic test that confronts them occurs during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and that during that outpouring one class is receiving the “oil,” and the other class is receiving “strong delusion.” The primary representation of those who receive strong delusion is represented in the very chapter where the expression strong delusion is located, and in that chapter the truth that is either loved or rejected is the truth which defines the prophetic relationship between pagan Rome and papal Rome.

ଜୁଲାଇ 2023 ରେ ଯେମାନେ ଜାଗ୍ରତ କରାଯାଇଥିଲେ, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏହା ବୁଝିବା ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ଯେ, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖୀନ ହେଉଥିବା ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବାଣୀମୂଳକ ପରୀକ୍ଷା ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ଉଣ୍ଡେଳନର ସମୟରେ ଘଟେ, ଏବଂ ସେହି ଉଣ୍ଡେଳନ ସମୟରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଶ୍ରେଣୀ “ତେଲ” ଗ୍ରହଣ କରୁଛି, ଏବଂ ଅନ୍ୟ ଶ୍ରେଣୀ “ପ୍ରବଳ ମୋହ” ଗ୍ରହଣ କରୁଛି। ଯେମାନେ ପ୍ରବଳ ମୋହ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରନ୍ତି ସେମାନଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଧାନ ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ୍ୱ ସେହି ଅଧ୍ୟାୟରେ ହିଁ ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶିତ ହୋଇଛି, ଯେଉଁଠାରେ “ପ୍ରବଳ ମୋହ” ଶବ୍ଦବ୍ୟଞ୍ଜନା ଅବସ୍ଥିତ ଅଛି; ଏବଂ ସେହି ଅଧ୍ୟାୟରେ, ଯେ ସତ୍ୟକୁ କେହି ପ୍ରେମ କରନ୍ତି କିମ୍ବା ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଖ୍ୟାନ କରନ୍ତି, ସେହି ସତ୍ୟ ହିଁ ଅଜାତିୟ ରୋମ ଏବଂ ପାପାସନ୍ନ ରୋମ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଥିବା ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବାଣୀମୂଳକ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧକୁ ପରିଭାଷିତ କରେ।

The prophetic relationship between 321 and 538 is shown by the prophetic relationship between the church of Pergamos and the church of Thyatira. In the last days, pagan Rome, represented by 321 and Pergamos, is a symbol of the United States, and papal Rome, represented by 538 and Thyatira, is a symbol of Modern Rome.

୩୨୧ ଓ ୫୩୮ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଥିବା ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବାଣୀମୂଳକ ସମ୍ପର୍କ ପର୍ଗାମସ ମଣ୍ଡଳୀ ଓ ଥାଇଆତିରା ମଣ୍ଡଳୀ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଥିବା ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବାଣୀମୂଳକ ସମ୍ପର୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରକାଶ ପାଏ। ଶେଷ ଦିନଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ, ୩୨୧ ଓ ପର୍ଗାମସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ ପୈଗାନ ରୋମ ଯୁକ୍ତରାଷ୍ଟ୍ରର ଏକ ପ୍ରତୀକ, ଏବଂ ୫୩୮ ଓ ଥାଇଆତିରା ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ ପାପାଳ ରୋମ ଆଧୁନିକ ରୋମର ଏକ ପ୍ରତୀକ।

The first Rome of 321 was a singular power state, and the second Rome of 538 was a dual power representing a combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. The third and final Rome, which is modern Rome, is a threefold power that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

Rome inni jalqabaa bara 321 mootummaa aangoo tokko qofa qabu ture; Rome lammaffaan bara 538 immoo mootummaa aangoo lamaa walitti makame, jechuun walitti dhufeenya mootummaa fi waldaa amantii walitti hidhata qabu kan waldaan amantii itti to’annoo qabu bakka bu’aa ture. Rome sadaffaa fi isa dhumaa, jechuun Rome ammayyaa, aangoo sadii walitti qabameedha; isaanis bineensa guddaa, bineensa, fi raajii sobaa of keessatti hammata.

Paul taught that to not understand the prophetic and historic relationship of pagan Rome (the dragon) and papal Rome (the beast) was to manifest a hatred of the truth which brought about strong delusion. All the prophets, including Paul were more specifically addressing the last days, so the relationship between the two powers in Paul’s history represents the relationship between the three powers of Modern Rome in the last days. To reject the prophetic relationship that “forms” the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days is to secure strong delusion for yourself.

Uriah Smith’s private interpretation of the king of the north represented a “cause” that produced an “effect.” But the class that is on the wrong side of the controversies about Rome is specifically identified as being unable to reason from cause to effect. Smith did not see that his flawed application of the king of the north would produce a prophetic platform which would lead him to also misrepresent the sixth plague, where there is a warning to keep or lose the garment of Christ’s righteousness.

Hiikni dhuunfaa Uuriyaa Smit “mooticha kaabaa” irratti dhiheesse “sababaa” tokko kan “bu’aa” tokko uume bakka buʼee ture. Garuu gareen falmiiwwan Roomaa irratti cinaacha dogoggoraa irra jiru addatti sababaa irraa gara buʼaatti yaaduu hin dandeenye taʼee ibsameera. Smit fayyadama isaa dogoggoraa “mooticha kaabaa” irratti godhe buʼuura raajii isa isa gara badiisaatti geessu akka uumu hin hubanne; buʼuurri sunis dhaʼicha jaʼaffaa keessatti, iddoo uffata qajeelummaa Kiristoos eeguuf yookaan dhabuu irratti akeekkachiisni jiru, inniis akka dogoggoraan bakka buusu isa geesse.

As with Paul’s emphasis in Second Thessalonians, John in chapter sixteen of Revelation and the sixth plague emphasizes the necessity of understanding who the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon are. Smith’s flawed application of the king of the north provides witness to an inability to rightly apply types and antitypes.

Smith could not, or would not, apply the principle so strongly set forth in the writings of Paul that the literal before the time-period of the cross represented the spiritual after the time-period of the cross. When this principle is carefully and correctly followed it is easily demonstrated that the “king of the north” is one of many symbols that represent the spiritual “king of the north” in the last days. Seventh-day Adventists above any other people should know that one of the primary structures that prophecy is based upon is the controversy between Christ and Satan. Christ is the true King of the north, and Satan has been attempting to manifest himself as the counterfeit king of the north.

A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Psalms 48:1–3.

Waaqni dawoo taʼuu isaatiin masaraawwan ishee keessatti beekamaa dha. Faarfannaa 48:1–3.

Satan’s efforts to counterfeit the true King of the north, includes employing the pope of Rome as his earthly representative. Satan is antichrist, and so is the pope of Rome, who is Satan’s proxy in his work of deception.

“To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.

“Addunyaa kana keessaa faayidaa fi ulfina argachuuf, waldaan ayyaanaa fi deeggarsa namoota gurguddoo lafaa barbaaduutti geggeeffamte; akkasitti immoo Kiristoosin gantee, bakka-bu’aa Seexanaa—episkooppii Roomaaaf amanamummaa kennuuf kakaafamte.” The Great Controversy, 50.

In the breakup of Alexander the Great’s kingdom, Seleucus Nicator became the first king of the north in the history represented in Daniel chapter eleven. His father, Antiochus, had been an influential leader in Alexander’s kingdom, and his son, Seleucus, was made the satrap of Babylon. A “satrap” is a governor, and when Seleucus had secured three of the four geographical areas that Alexander’s kingdom divided into, he became the king of the north.

Aliksaandar Guddaan mootummaa isaa yeroo diigamutti, Seeluukus Niikatoor seenaan Daani’el boqonnaa kudha tokko keessatti bakka bu’ame keessatti mootii kaabaa isa jalqabaa ta’e. Abbaan isaa, Anxookus, mootummaa Aliksaandar keessatti hoogganaa dhiibbaa guddaa qabu ture; ilmi isaa Seeluukus immoo bulchaa Baabilon ta’ee muudame. “Satiraapii” jechuun bulchaa jechuudha; yeroo Seeluukus naannolee juugraafii afran mootummaa Aliksaandar itti qoodame keessaa sadii of jala galfate, inni mootii kaabaa ta’e.

Smith’s private interpretation and avoidance of grammatical rules led him to assume the final powers that made up Satan’s confederacy of evil in the last days were represented in prophecy as literal powers, not spiritual powers. Thus, he could not see that Seleucus Nicator as the first king of the north, the governor of Babylon, would of prophetic necessity represent the final spiritual king of the north who was the power that controlled modern spiritual Babylon.

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:1-6.

The power that governs Babylon in the last days is the papal church, and she is therefore also the spiritual king of the north.

Humni inni guyyoota dhumaatti Baabilonitti mootummaa qabu waldaa paaphaasii ti; kanaaf isheenis mootii kaabaa hafuuraa dha.

“The woman (Babylon) of Revelation 17 is described as ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness:…and upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots.’ Says the prophet: ‘I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.’ Babylon is further declared to be ‘that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.’ Revelation 17:4-6, 18. The power that for so many centuries maintained despotic sway over the monarchs of Christendom is Rome. The purple and scarlet color, the gold and precious stones and pearls, vividly picture the magnificence and more than kingly pomp affected by the haughty see of Rome. And no other power could be so truly declared ‘drunken with the blood of the saints’ as that church which has so cruelly persecuted the followers of Christ. Babylon is also charged with the sin of unlawful connection with ‘the kings of the earth.’ It was by departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot; and Rome, corrupting herself in like manner by seeking the support of worldly powers, receives a like condemnation.” The Great Controversy, 382.

Mul’anni (Baabilon) Mul’ata 17 keessatti akkana jechuun ibsamteerti: “uffata diimaa mootummaa fi diimaa bifa isaanii uffattee, warqee, dhagaa gatii guddaa qabu, fi luuliiwwaniin miidhagfamee, harka ishee keessaa xoofoo warqee kan waan jibbisiisaa fi xuraa’ummaa guutame qabdi; … maddii ishee irrattis maqaan, Dhoksaa, Baabilon Guddittii, haadha sagaagaltota jechuun barreeffamee ture.” Raajiin akkana jedhu: “Ani dubartittii dhiiga qulqullootaa fi dhiiga shahiidota Yesuusiin machee argine.” Baabilon dabalataanis, “magaalaa guddoo, mootota lafaa irratti mootummaa qabdu sana” jechuun ibsameera. Mul’ata 17:4-6, 18. Humni jaarraa hedduudhaaf mootota Kiristaanummaa irratti abbaa-irree ta’een aangoo isaa eeggatee ture mootummaa Roomiiti. Uffanni diimaa mootummaa fi diimaa bifa isaanii, warqeen, dhagoonni gatii guddaa qaban, fi luuliin ulfina guddaa fi ulfina mootii caalaa teessoo of-tuulummaa Roomiin agarsiifamu akka ifatti fakkeessu.

The Great Controversy, 382.

The governor is the king, and according to Isaiah, a king is a kingdom and is also the capital city of a kingdom.

Bulchaan mootummaa sanaa ti; akkasumas, akka Isaayyaasitti, mootummaan tokko mootummaa dha, akkasumas magaalaa guddoo mootummaa sanaatis dha.

For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.

ଯେହେତୁ ସିରିୟାର ମୁଣ୍ଡ ହେଉଛି ଦମାସ୍କସ୍, ଏବଂ ଦମାସ୍କସ୍‌ର ମୁଣ୍ଡ ହେଉଛି ରେଜିନ୍; ଏବଂ ପଞ୍ଚଷଷ୍ଟି ବର୍ଷ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଏଫ୍ରାଇମ୍ ଏପରି ଭାବେ ଭଙ୍ଗ ହେବ ଯେ ସେ ଆଉ ଜନସମୂହ ରୂପେ ରହିବ ନାହିଁ। ଏବଂ ଏଫ୍ରାଇମ୍‌ର ମୁଣ୍ଡ ହେଉଛି ସମାରିୟା, ଏବଂ ସମାରିୟାର ମୁଣ୍ଡ ହେଉଛି ରେମଲିୟାଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର। ଯଦି ତୁମେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିବ ନାହିଁ, ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ତୁମେ ସ୍ଥିର ହେବ ନାହିଁ। ଯିଶାୟ 7:8, 9.

According to the witness of Isaiah, a student of prophecy who awakens in July of 2023 to a prophetic testing process must recognize the prophetic symbolism of the “head” if he wishes to be established. If he doesn’t recognize and apply the symbolism of a “head” when called for, then he is not established. Those who disbelieve are not established, and therefore Isaiah is identifying two classes of worshippers in the last days who either are established or are not established. They are the same two classes who either have the “oil,” or they don’t have the “oil.”

Akkuma ragaa Isaayaasitti, barataan raajii kan Adoolessa 2023 keessatti adeemsa qormaata raajii irratti dammaqu, yoo hundeeffamuu fedhe, fakkeenya-raajii “mataa” beekuu qaba. Yeroo barbaachisutti yoo fakkeenya “mataa” hin beekin hojii irra hin oolchine, inni hundeeffamaa miti. Warri hin amanne hundeeffamoo miti; kanaaf Isaayaan guyyoota dhumaa keessatti garee waaqeffattootaa lama kanneen yookaan hundeeffaman yookaan hin hundeeffamne adda baasee agarsiisaa jira. Isaanis gareewwan lama isuma warra yookaan “zayitii” qaban yookaan “zayitii” hin qabne dha.

One class that is established and has oil, receives the message of the Midnight Cry that began to be opened up in July of 2023, or they receive the strong delusion of Second Thessalonians. Their test is the formation of the image of the beast, and the way in which the beast is formed, whether the papal beast of the Dark Ages, or its image that is formed by the United States, or the threefold union that leads the world to Armageddon. This includes the necessity of recognizing that the “head,” the “king” the ruler of the other two powers that make up the threefold union, is the papal power.

The “head,” the capital city of Judah was Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose to place His name.

“mataa,” magaalaa guddoon Yihuudaa Yerusaalem ture; isheen magaalaa Gooftaan maqaa Isaa keessa kaa’uuf filate turte.

And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 1 Kings 14:21.

ሮብዓም ልጅ ሰሎሞን በይሁዳ ነገሠ። ሮብዓምም መንግሥት ሲጀምር አርባ አንድ ዓመት ነበረው፥ እግዚአብሔርም ስሙን በዚያ ያኖር ዘንድ ከእስራኤል ነገዶች ሁሉ የመረጠውባት ከተማ በኢየሩሳሌም አሥራ ሰባት ዓመት ነገሠ። የእናቱም ስም ናዕማ አሞናዊት ነበረች። 1 ነገሥት 14፥21።

In the great controversy between Christ and Satan, Christ’s capital city, where He places His name, is Jerusalem, and Satan’s counterfeit was the literal city of Babylon that represents spiritual Babylon that great city in the last days. Satan places his name upon the head as a counterfeit of God’s city and capitol. The king that resides there is the mother of harlots who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The mother of harlots is the papal power, and her daughters are the fallen Protestant churches, of which the premier fallen apostate church is the apostate Protestants of the United States.

Those apostate Protestants represent the Protestant horn of the earth beast, and they are connected with their mother since their rejection of the prophetic message that was unsealed in 1798. Their counterpart, the Republican horn, is connected with the kings of the earth through their relationship with the United Nations, the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The threefold union which leads the world to Armageddon is represented by its head, where its name is placed, and spiritual modern Rome is spiritual modern Babylon. Its “head” is the papal power.

The first represents the last and whether you apply Daniel chapter two as did the Millerites, as representing four kingdoms, or as has been opened up in the last days as representing eight kingdoms, the first kingdom was literal Babylon. The Millerites would inform you the last was literal Rome. Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols, for they are the first and the last of a prophetic line.

መጀመሪያው መጨረሻውን ይወክላል፤ እና ዳንኤል ምዕራፍ ሁለትን እንደ ሚለራውያን አራት መንግሥታትን እንደሚወክል ብትተገብሩትም፣ ወይም በመጨረሻዎቹ ዘመናት ስምንት መንግሥታትን እንደሚወክል ተገልጦ እንደተከፈተው ብትተገብሩትም፣ የመጀመሪያው መንግሥት ትክክለኛ ባቢሎን ነበረ። ሚለራውያን የመጨረሻው ትክክለኛ ሮም እንደነበረ ያሳውቁዎታል። ባቢሎንና ሮም እርስ በርሳቸው ሊተካኩ የሚችሉ ምልክቶች ናቸው፤ ምክንያቱም እነርሱ የትንቢታዊ መስመር መጀመሪያና መጨረሻ ናቸው።

In the last days the first kingdom of literal Babylon represents the eighth and last kingdom which is spiritual modern Babylon, and is also spiritual modern Rome. Upon the two witnesses represented in Daniel chapter two Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols.

Bara dhumaatti mootummaan jalqabaa Baabilon isa dhugaa, mootummaa saddeettaffaa fi isa dhumaa taʼe kan Baabilon ammayyaa hafuuraa taʼe bakka buʼa; innis akkasuma Roomaa ammayyaa hafuuraa dha. Dhugaa-baatota lama warra Daaniʼel boqonnaa lama keessatti bakka buʼamani irratti, Baabilonii fi Roomaan mallattoolee wal-jijjiiramuu dandaʼan dha.

When the papal whore is portrayed with a name on her forehead that identifies “Mystery Babylon,” it is also identifying “mystery Rome.” A prophetic “mystery” represents a truth that is so profound that it is impossible to understand the depth of the truth represented therein, especially without the influence of the Holy Spirit. But a biblical “mystery” also demands that what is revealed in connection with the mystery is a required understanding for those who seek to pass the test. This is why two witnesses in Revelation emphasize the need to understand modern Rome.

Yeroo sagaagaltuun paaphaasummaa maqaa adda baasu tokko morma ishee irratti qabattee “Baabilonii Iccitii” jedhamtee mul’ifamtu, “Roomaa Iccitii” jedhus ni adda baasa. Raajii keessatti “iccitii” jechuun dhugaa hamma itti gadi fagoon isaa hubatamuu hin dandeenyetti gadi fagoo ta’e tokko ni agarsiisa; keessumaa dhiibbaa Hafuura Qulqulluu malee dhugaa achi keessatti bakka bu’ame sanaa gadi fageenyaan hubachuun hin danda’amu. Garuu “iccitii” macaafa qulqulluu keessaa ta’e immoo waan icciticha wajjin walqabatee mul’ifamu, warra qormaata sana darbuu barbaadaniif hubannoo dirqamaa ta’uu isaa illee ni gaafata. Kanaafuu, dhuga-baatonni lama Mul’ata keessatti Roomaa yeroo ammaa hubachuu barbaachisummaa isaa irratti cimsanii dubbatu.

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.

Kunoo ogummaa dha. Namni hubannaa qabu lakkoofsa bineensichaa haa lakkaa’u; inni lakkoofsa nama tokkoo ti; lakkoofsi isaas dhibba ja’a, jaatama jaha, fi jaha. Mul’ata Yohaannis 13:18.

“Wisdom” understands the number of the beast, which is the number of a man whose number is six, six, six. The “man of sin” is the head of the beast. Wisdom is an attribute of the wise virgins in the last days, and it is also a symbol of those who understand the increase of knowledge in the last days. Those who do not understand are foolish virgins and are the wicked. The “wisdom” they do not understand must of prophetic necessity be in the context of the final prophetic test, for this is when the wise and foolish virgins exist. They must understand “six, six, six.” The mind that has wisdom is also located by John in the last days in Revelation chapter seventeen.

“Ogummaa” lakkoofsa bineensichaa ni hubata; inniis lakkoofsa nama tokkoo ti, lakkoofsi isaas jahaa, jahaa, jahaa dha. “Namni cubbuu” mataa bineensichaa dha. Ogummaan amaloota durboota ogeeyyii bara dhumaa keessaa tokko dha; akkasumas warra bara dhumaa keessatti baay’ina beekumsaa hubatan kan agarsiisu mallattoo dha. Warri hin hubanne durboota gowwootaa dha; isaanis warra hamoota dha. “Ogummaan” isaan hin hubanne kun dirqama raajii irraa ka’een keessatti qormaata raajii isa dhumaa keessatti argamuu qaba; yeroo kana keessatti durboonni ogeeyyii fi gowwoonni ni jiraatu waan ta’eef. Isaan “jahaa, jahaa, jahaa” hubachuu qabu. Sammuun ogummaa qabu immoo Yohaannis keessatti Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha torbaffaa keessatti akkasuma bara dhumaa keessa kaa’ameera.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 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. Revelation 17:9–11.

እንሆ፥ ጥበብ ያለው አእምሮ ይህን ያስተውላል። ሰባቱ ራሶች ሴቲቱ የተቀመጠችባቸው ሰባት ተራሮች ናቸው። ደግሞም ሰባት ነገሥታት አሉ፤ አምስቱ ወድቀዋል፥ አንዱም አሁን አለ፥ ሌላውም ገና አልመጣም፤ ሲመጣም ጥቂት ጊዜ ሊቆይ ይገባዋል። የነበረውም እንስሳ አሁን የሌለው፥ እርሱ ራሱ ስምንተኛ ነው፥ ከሰባቱም ነው፥ ወደ ጥፋትም ይሄዳል። ራእይ 17፥9–11።

The “mind” that has the wisdom to understand the number “six, six, six,” is a wise virgin who has obtained the “mind of Christ.”

Lakkoofsi “ja’a, jahaa, jahaa” hubachuuf ogummaa qabu, durba ogeettii “sammuu Kiristoos” argatte dha.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.

Eenyu yaada Gooftaa beeke, akka isa barsiisuuf? Nuyi garuu yaada Kiristoos qabna. 1 Qorontos 2:16.

The class of wise virgins have the mind of Christ, and the foolish wicked virgins have the mind of Christ’s adversary.

Gareen dubarrattoota ogummaa qaban yaada Kiristoos qabu; dubarrattoonni gowwoon hamoonni garuu yaada mormituu Kiristoos qabu.

“The time has come for the true light to shine amid moral darkness. The third angel’s message has been sent forth to the world, warning men against receiving the mark of the beast or of his image in their foreheads or in their hands. To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.

“ନୈତିକ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସତ୍ୟ ଆଲୋକ ଦୀପ୍ତିତେ ଜ୍ୱଳିଉଠିବା ପାଇଁ ସମୟ ଆସିପହଞ୍ଚିଛି। ତୃତୀୟ ଦୂତଙ୍କ ସନ୍ଦେଶକୁ ସମଗ୍ର ବିଶ୍ୱକୁ ପ୍ରେରିତ କରାଯାଇଛି, ଯାହା ମଣିଷମାନଙ୍କୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କର କପାଳରେ କିମ୍ବା ସେମାନଙ୍କର ହାତରେ ପଶୁର ଚିହ୍ନ କିମ୍ବା ତାହାର ପ୍ରତିମୂର୍ତ୍ତିର ଚିହ୍ନ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବାବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ସତର୍କ କରୁଛି। ଏହି ଚିହ୍ନକୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବାର ଅର୍ଥ ହେଉଛି ପଶୁ ଯେପରି ନିଷ୍ପତ୍ତି ନେଇଛି, ସେହି ନିଷ୍ପତ୍ତିକୁ ନେବା, ଏବଂ ଈଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ୟଙ୍କ ସରାସରି ବିରୋଧରେ ସେହି ଧାରଣାମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମର୍ଥନ କରିବା।” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.

The formation of the image of the beast is the final test for the virgins of the parable, and the wise have the mind of Christ, for they have come to the same decision as Christ, for they have submitted their wills unto the Holy Spirit’s direction. The formation of the image of Christ in the wise virgins contrasts with the formation of the image of the beast in the foolish virgins. The foolish virgins come to the same decision as the beast, for they became confused upon the test question concerning the correct identification of the antichrist, who is the counterfeit king of the north and the head of modern Rome.

Bifni bifa bineensaa fakkii bineensichaa qormaata dhumaa durboota fakkeenya sanaati; durboonni ogeeyyiin immoo sammuu Kiristoos qabu, sababni isaas isaan murtoo Kiristoos wajjin tokko taʼe bira gaʼaniiru; fedhii isaanii qajeelfama Hafuura Qulqulluutiif harka kennaniiru. Bifamni fakkii Kiristoos kan durboota ogeeyyii keessatti uumamu, bifama fakkii bineensichaa kan durboota gowwootaa keessatti uumamu waliin wal faallessa. Durboonni gowwoonni immoo murtoo bineensichaa wajjin tokko taʼe bira gaʼu; sababni isaas isaan gaaffii qormaatichaa, isa eenyummaa sirrii mormituu Kiristoos irratti, jechuunis mootii kaabaa sobaa fi mataa Roomaa ammayyaa taʼe sana ilaalchisee, burjaajaʼaniiru.

“Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.

“Warri hubannaa dubbii hubachuu isaanii keessatti wallaallatan, warri hiika mormituu Kiristoos arguu dadhaban, dhugumaan of isaanii gama mormituu Kiristoositti ni kaa’u.” Kress Collection, 105.

The foolish virgins in the testing time that is represented as the formation of the image of the beast become confused in their understanding of the word. Their confusion is premised upon misunderstanding God’s prophetic word, and failing to see the correct meaning of Modern Rome, they receive strong delusion, come to the same decision as the beast, and advocate the same papal ideas in direct opposition to the word of God, and place themselves on the side of antichrist.

Durroonni wallaalan yeroo qormaataa keessatti, yeroo fakkeenyaan akka bifa bineensichaa ijaaramuutti ibsame sanatti, hubannaa isaanii keessatti waaʼee dubbii sanaa ni jeeqamu. Jeeqamni isaanii dubbii raajii Waaqayyoo dogoggoraan hubachuurratti hundaaʼee jira; hiika sirrii Roomaa Ammayyaa arguu dadhabuudhaan, gowwoomsaa cimaa ni fudhatu, murtii bineensichaa wajjin wal fakkaatu irra gaʼu, yaada papaasii isa wajjin tokko taʼe dubbii Waaqayyoo irratti mormii kallattiidhaan ni deeggaru; akkasumas of isaanii gara mootummaa mormituu Kiristoositti ni dhaabu.
