In the book of Ezekiel, the ‘siege’ of Jerusalem is the ‘sign’ that is the test by which our eternal destiny will be decided, for it marks the formation of the image of the beast.

În cartea lui Ezechiel, „asediul” Ierusalimului este „semnul” care constituie testul prin care se va hotărî destinul nostru veșnic, căci el marchează formarea chipului fiarei.

“The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. …

“Domnul mi-a arătat limpede că chipul fiarei va fi format înainte de încheierea timpului de har; căci acesta trebuie să fie marea probă pentru poporul lui Dumnezeu, prin care va fi hotărât destinul lor veșnic. …”

“This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

“Aceasta este încercarea pe care poporul lui Dumnezeu trebuie să o aibă înainte de a fi pecetluit. Toți cei care și-au dovedit loialitatea față de Dumnezeu prin păzirea Legii Sale și prin refuzul de a accepta un sabat fals vor sta sub steagul Domnului Dumnezeu Iehova și vor primi sigiliul Dumnezeului celui viu. Cei care cedează adevărul de origine cerească și acceptă sabatul duminicii vor primi semnul fiarei.” Manuscript Releases, volumul 15, 15.

The Christians that fled Jerusalem at the ‘sign’ of Cestius, did so because they had been forewarned and recognized the ‘sign’ when it arrived. Recognizing the formation of the image of the beast is to recognize the “events,” “preparations” and “movements” that lead to the Sunday law. The prophetic elements that make up the ‘sign’ must be understood in advance of the sign. When Cestius began the siege it was too late to learn what the sign was.

Cristãos que fugiram de Jerusalém ao ‘sinal’ de Céstio o fizeram porque haviam sido advertidos de antemão e reconheceram o ‘sinal’ quando ele chegou. Reconhecer a formação da imagem da besta é reconhecer os “eventos”, os “preparativos” e os “movimentos” que conduzem à lei dominical. Os elementos proféticos que compõem o ‘sinal’ devem ser compreendidos antes do aparecimento do sinal. Quando Céstio iniciou o cerco, já era tarde demais para aprender qual era o sinal.

“Already preparations are advancing, and movements are in progress, which will result in making an image to the beast. Events will be brought about in the earth’s history that will fulfill the predictions of prophecy for these last days.” Review and Herald, April 23, 1889.

“Pripreme već napreduju, i pokreti su u toku, koji će dovesti do stvaranja lika zvijeri. U istoriji zemlje nastupiće događaji koji će ispuniti predskazanja proročanstva za ove poslednje dane.” Review and Herald, 23. april 1889.

Preparations, Movements and Events

Pregătirile, Mișcările și Evenimentele

The “preparations,” “movements” and “events” must be recognized in advance of the test.

“ໂອກາດການກຽມພ້ອມ,” “ການເຄື່ອນໄຫວ” ແລະ “ເຫດການຕ່າງໆ” ຈຳເປັນຕ້ອງຖືກຮັບຮູ້ໄວ້ລ່ວງໜ້າກ່ອນການທົດສອບ.

“All that God has in prophetic history specified to be fulfilled in the past has been, and all that is yet to come in its order will be. Daniel, God’s prophet, stands in his place. John stands in his place. In the Revelation the Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the students of prophecy the book of Daniel, and thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears his testimony, that which the Lord revealed to him in vision of the great and solemn events which we must know as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.

«Αυτό που ο Θεός έχει προσδιορίσει στην προφητική ιστορία ότι έπρεπε να εκπληρωθεί στο παρελθόν, έχει εκπληρωθεί· και όλα όσα μέλλουν ακόμη να έλθουν, κατά τη δική τους τάξη, θα εκπληρωθούν. Ο Δανιήλ, ο προφήτης του Θεού, στέκει στη θέση του. Ο Ιωάννης στέκει στη θέση του. Στην Αποκάλυψη, ο Λέων εκ της φυλής του Ιούδα έχει ανοίξει στους σπουδαστές της προφητείας το βιβλίο του Δανιήλ, και έτσι ο Δανιήλ στέκει στη θέση του. Δίδει τη μαρτυρία του, εκείνο το οποίο ο Κύριος τού αποκάλυψε σε όραση σχετικά με τα μεγάλα και επίσημα γεγονότα που πρέπει να γνωρίζουμε, καθώς στεκόμαστε ακριβώς στο κατώφλι της εκπληρώσεώς τους.»

“In history and prophecy the Word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been, will be repeated.” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.

「歴史と預言において、神の御言葉は、真理と誤謬との長く続いてきた闘争を描いている。その闘争は、なおも進行中である。かつてあった事柄は、再び繰り返されるであろう。」『セレクテッド・メッセージズ』第2巻、109頁。

We “must know” “the great and solemn events as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.” The threshold identifies our need to understand the events in advance of their fulfilment.

Noi „trebuie să cunoaștem” „marile și solemnele evenimente, întrucât stăm chiar pe pragul împlinirii lor”. Pragul indică nevoia noastră de a înțelege evenimentele înainte de împlinirea lor.

“But the stern tracings of the prophetic pencil reveal a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamb-like horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ The spirit of persecution manifested by paganism and the papacy is again to be revealed. Prophecy declares that this power will say ‘to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ [Revelation 13:14.] The image is made to the first or leopard-like beast, which is the one brought to view in the third angel’s message. By this first beast is represented the Roman Church, an ecclesiastical body clothed with civil power, having authority to punish all dissenters. The image to the beast represents another religious body clothed with similar power. The formation of this image is the work of that beast whose peaceful rise and mild professions render it so striking a symbol of the United States. Here is to be found an image of the papacy. When the churches of our land, uniting upon such points of faith as are held by them in common, shall influence the State to enforce their decrees and sustain their institutions, then will Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy. Then the true church will be assailed by persecution, as were God’s ancient people. Almost every century furnishes examples of what bigotry and malice can do under a plea of serving God by protecting the rights of Church and State. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. In the seventeenth century thousands of non-conformist ministers suffered under the rule of the Church of England. Persecution always follows religious favoritism on the part of secular governments.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 277.

“Но строгите очертания на пророческия молив разкриват промяна в тази мирна картина. Звярът с агнешките рога говори с гласа на змей и „упражнява цялата власт на първия звяр пред него“. Духът на преследване, проявен в езичеството и папството, отново предстои да се разкрие. Пророчеството заявява, че тази сила ще каже „на живеещите по земята да направят образ на звяра“. [Откровение 13:14.] Образът се прави на първия, или леопардоподобния звяр, който е онзи, представен в вестта на третия ангел. Чрез този първи звяр е представена Римската църква — църковно тяло, облечено с гражданска власт, имащо правомощие да наказва всички несъгласни. Образът на звяра представлява друго религиозно тяло, облечено с подобна власт. Образуването на този образ е дело на онзи звяр, чийто мирен възход и кротки заявления го правят толкова поразителен символ на Съединените щати. Тук се намира образ на папството. Когато църквите в нашата страна, обединявайки се върху такива точки на вярата, каквито държат общо, повлияят на държавата да наложи техните постановления и да поддържа техните институции, тогава протестантска Америка ще е образувала образ на римската йерархия. Тогава истинската църква ще бъде нападната чрез преследване, както бяха Божиите древни люде. Почти всеки век предоставя примери за това какво могат да извършат фанатизмът и злобата под предлог, че служат на Бога, като защитават правата на Църквата и Държавата. Протестантските църкви, които са следвали стъпките на Рим, като са влизали в съюз със светските власти, са проявявали подобно желание да ограничават свободата на съвестта. През седемнадесети век хиляди несъгласни служители пострадаха под управлението на Английската църква. Преследването винаги следва религиозното покровителстване от страна на светските управления.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 277.

The formation of the image of the beast is accomplished first in the United States, and thereafter in the world.

The Edict of Milan in 313 represents the starting of the formation, and also identifies the closed door for Seventh-day Adventists. Constantine of the west and Licinius of the east attached a treaty marriage to the Edict, when Constantine gave his half-sister Constantia to Licinius in the fourth treaty marriage represented in a prophetic line of the six treaty marriages within the prophetic history of Daniel eleven. The first two were associated with wars between the north and south, the next two were civil wars between east and west and the last two are symbolic marriages of the papal church power and state power.

Antiochus II Theos set aside his wife Laodice I to marry the Ptolemaic princess Berenice (daughter of Ptolemy II) around 252 BC. The treaty marriages of the Seleucid Empire were accomplished between the king of the north and the king of the south, whereas; the treaty marriage of 313 was between the emperor of the east and the emperor of the west.

अन्तियोकस द्वितीय थियोस ने लगभग 252 ईसा पूर्व टॉलेमी द्वितीय की पुत्री, टॉलेमिक राजकुमारी बेरेनीके से विवाह करने के लिए अपनी पत्नी लाओदिके प्रथम को अलग कर दिया। सेल्यूसिड साम्राज्य के संधि-विवाह उत्तर के राजा और दक्षिण के राजा के बीच सम्पन्न हुए, जबकि 313 की संधि-विवाह पूर्व के सम्राट और पश्चिम के सम्राट के बीच हुई।

The treaty marriage of Antiochus II Theos in 252 BC, represented the beginning of the Seleucid Empire that reached its conclusion as an empire in the history represented in verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven. In the final history of the Seleucid empire another treaty marriage was accomplished by Antiochus III the Great, when he gave his daughter Cleopatra I Syra, (the very first Cleopatra of prophetic history) to Ptolemy V in 193 BC. At the time Ptolemy V was about 16 and Cleopatra I Syra about 10 years old. Their marriage was a diplomatic settlement after the fifth Syrian war. The alpha treaty marriage between the king of the north and south in Daniel eleven had marked the end of the second Syrian war.

The last Cleopatra of prophetic history interacted with both Julius Caesar and thereafter with Mark Antony. After the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC the second Triumvirate was formed in 43 BC. Three men made up the triumvirate and after one of those three, Marcus Lepidus was forced out of the threefold union by Octavian, a power struggle between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west ensued. At Brundisium, in 40 BC a treaty between the two eastern and western rivals was made. The treaty included the marriage between Octavian’s sister Octavia and Mark Antony. The treaty and accompanying marriage did not hold, and after Mark Antony became involved with Cleopatra, he divorced Octavia in 32 BC. At the battle of Actium in 31 BC, the empires of east and west were consolidated into one power, and Octavian thereafter became Augustus Caesar, the symbol of the height of Roman glory and power.

Ultima Cleopatra din istoria profetică a avut legături mai întâi cu Iulius Cezar, iar apoi cu Marc Antoniu. După asasinarea lui Iulius Cezar, în anul 44 î.Hr., în anul 43 î.Hr. s-a format al doilea triumvirat. Trei bărbați alcătuiau triumviratul, iar după ce unul dintre acești trei, Marcus Lepidus, a fost înlăturat din uniunea triplă de către Octavian, a urmat o luptă pentru putere între Marc Antoniu al răsăritului și Octavian al apusului. La Brundisium, în anul 40 î.Hr., s-a încheiat un tratat între cei doi rivali ai răsăritului și ai apusului. Tratatul a inclus căsătoria dintre sora lui Octavian, Octavia, și Marc Antoniu. Tratatul și căsătoria care l-a însoțit nu au dăinuit, iar după ce Marc Antoniu s-a implicat cu Cleopatra, a divorțat de Octavia în anul 32 î.Hr. La bătălia de la Actium, în anul 31 î.Hr., imperiile răsăritului și apusului au fost consolidate într-o singură putere, iar Octavian a devenit apoi Augustus Cezar, simbolul culmii gloriei și puterii romane.

Prophetically the first treaty marriage of Daniel eleven was between the kings of the north and south in an attempt to end hostilities between the two combatants who were struggling to re-establish the empire of Alexander the Great. That first treaty marriage between the Seleucids and the Ptolemy’s of Egypt was the alpha treaty marriage of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms, which typified the omega treaty marriage between the same two powers. In the last or omega treaty marriage, the very first or alpha Cleopatra of Egyptian history became the prophetic link to the last, or omega Cleopatra; whose relationship with Mark Antony became the point of reference for the divorce of Octavia and Mark Antony. The divorce marked the renewed hostilities between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west which ended at the battle of Actium in 31 BC.

En sentido profético, el primer matrimonio de tratado de Daniel once tuvo lugar entre los reyes del norte y del sur, en un intento por poner fin a las hostilidades entre los dos contendientes que luchaban por restablecer el imperio de Alejandro Magno. Ese primer matrimonio de tratado entre los seléucidas y los ptolomeos de Egipto fue el matrimonio de tratado alfa de los reinos seléucida y ptolemaico, el cual tipificó el matrimonio de tratado omega entre esos mismos dos poderes. En el último, u omega, matrimonio de tratado, la primera, o alfa, Cleopatra de la historia egipcia llegó a ser el vínculo profético con la última, u omega, Cleopatra; cuya relación con Marco Antonio se convirtió en el punto de referencia para el divorcio de Octavia y Marco Antonio. El divorcio señaló la reanudación de las hostilidades entre Marco Antonio del este y Octaviano del oeste, las cuales concluyeron en la batalla de Accio en el año 31 a. C.

The treaty marriage of Brundisium in 40 BC was the alpha treaty marriage of the struggle between east and west, just as the treaty marriage of Laodice and Antiochus II Theo was the alpha of the struggle between north and south. The treaty marriage of 313 was the omega to the alpha treaty marriage of Mark Antony and Octavia, just as the treaty marriage between Ptolemy V and Cleopatra I Syra was the omega treaty marriage of the northern and southern kingdoms. The three treaty marriages that led to the omega treaty marriage of 313 all align, and provide three witnesses to the prophetic characteristics associated with the Edict of Milan. Together the four literal treaty marriages of east, west, north and south align with the two symbolic treaty marriages of the papacy.

In 496, Clovis the king of the Franks was married to Clotilda. Clotilda was a Burgundian princess, the daughter of King Chilperic II of Burgundy. After her father and mother were murdered in a family power struggle, she lived under the protection of her uncle before being given in marriage to Clovis I, king of the Franks, in 493. She was a Catholic, that is, she held the Nicene/orthodox faith of the Roman Church. This set her apart from many other Germanic royal families of the time, who were Arian Christians. Her mother Caretena had been Catholic, and Clotilda was raised in that faith. She is remembered for persistently urging Clovis to abandon paganism and accept Catholic baptism, and thereafter his conversion in 496 is one of the most important events in the early history of France and of Western so-called Christianity.

496年、フランク王クローヴィスはクロティルダと結婚していた。クロティルダはブルグントの王女であり、ブルグント王キルペリク2世の娘であった。父と母が一族内の権力闘争の中で殺害された後、彼女は叔父の保護のもとで暮らし、その後493年にフランク王クローヴィス1世に嫁いだ。彼女はカトリック信徒であり、すなわちローマ教会のニカイア信条／正統信仰を保持していた。これは、当時アリウス派キリスト教徒であった他の多くのゲルマン系王族と彼女を区別するものであった。母カレテナもカトリックであり、クロティルダはその信仰の中で育てられた。彼女は、クローヴィスに対して異教を捨ててカトリックの洗礼を受け入れるよう粘り強く勧め続けたことで記憶されており、その結果としての496年の彼の改宗は、フランス初期史および西方のいわゆるキリスト教の初期史における最も重要な出来事の一つである。

Clovis vowed that if he won the battle of Tolbiac he would convert to Clotilda’s Catholic faith and be baptized. The Alemanni king was killed, their army broke, and the Franks won. After the victory Clotilda arranged for Bishop Remigius of Reims to instruct Clovis, and he was baptized (traditionally on Christmas Day 496), along with several thousand of his warriors.

クローヴィスは、トルビアクの戦いに勝利するならば、クロティルダのカトリック信仰に改宗し、洗礼を受けることを誓った。アレマンニ王は戦死し、その軍勢は潰走し、フランク人は勝利した。勝利の後、クロティルダはランスの司教レミギウスがクローヴィスを教え導くよう取り計らい、彼は数千人の自らの戦士たちとともに洗礼を受けた（伝承によれば496年の降誕祭の日）。

Clovis was the king of the Franks, which in modern terms is the king of France. He became the first of the kings of Europe who would ultimately surrender their pagan religion and turn to Catholicism. For this reason, Clovis is considered the “eldest son of the Catholic church,” and France is called, “the eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” In 1980, when pope John Paul II visited France he asked, “France, eldest daughter of the Church, are you faithful to your baptism?”

Кловис е бил цар на франките, което в съвременни понятия означава цар на Франция. Той става първият от европейските царе, които в крайна сметка се отказват от езическата си религия и се обръщат към католицизма. Поради тази причина Кловис е смятан за „първородния син на Католическата църква“, а Франция е наричана „първородната дъщеря на Католическата църква“. През 1980 г., когато папа Йоан Павел II посещава Франция, той пита: „Франция, първородна дъще на Църквата, вярна ли си на своето кръщение?“

Clovis' conversion to Nicene Catholicism identifies the start of a symbolic marriage procession that would lead to the symbolic treaty marriage of 538. The symbolic treaty marriage between Clovis and the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth was typified by the four previous treaty marriages in Daniel eleven. Clovis was the first European king to provide military and economic support for the Roman church and Clovis is therefore represented within the history in Daniel eleven.

Nawrócenie Chlodwiga na katolicyzm nicejski wyznacza początek symbolicznego orszaku weselnego, który doprowadził do symbolicznego małżeństwa przymierza z roku 538. Symboliczne małżeństwo przymierza między Chlodwigiem a nierządnicą, która dopuszcza się wszeteczeństwa z królami ziemi, zostało uprzednio ukazane w typie przez cztery wcześniejsze małżeństwa przymierza w jedenastym rozdziale Księgi Daniela. Chlodwig był pierwszym europejskim królem, który udzielił Kościołowi rzymskiemu militarnego i ekonomicznego wsparcia, i dlatego Chlodwig jest przedstawiony w historii opisanej w jedenastym rozdziale Księgi Daniela.

And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 11:31.

የጦር ኃይሎችም በእርሱ ወገን ይቆማሉ፤ የኃይሉንም መቅደስ ያረክሳሉ፥ ዘወትር የሚቀርበውንም መሥዋዕት ያስወግዳሉ፥ አስጠፊውንም ርኵሰት ያቆማሉ። ዳንኤል 11፥31።

Clovis in 496 marks the beginning of the European political structures to “stand up” to aid the papacy as it rose to power. It marks the beginning of a symbolic marriage procession. The “arms” of the verse would also pollute the “sanctuary of strength,” which for both pagan and papal Rome is the city of Rome.

Clovis au 496 marque le commencement des structures politiques européennes qui allaient « se lever » pour venir en aide à la papauté à mesure qu’elle s’élevait au pouvoir. Cela marque le début d’une procession nuptiale symbolique. Les « bras » du verset souilleraient aussi le « sanctuaire de la force », qui, pour la Rome païenne comme pour la Rome papale, est la ville de Rome.

Two Sanctuary's

Dve Svetinje

There are two different Hebrew words in the book of Daniel that are translated as “sanctuary.” The Hebrew words ‘miqdash’ and ‘qodesh’ are both translated as “sanctuary,” but qodesh can only represent a holy entity, whereas miqdash can represent either a holy or unholy sanctuary—as determined by context.

În cartea lui Daniel există două cuvinte ebraice diferite care sunt traduse prin „sanctuar”. Cuvintele ebraice „miqdash” și „qodesh” sunt amândouă traduse prin „sanctuar”, însă „qodesh” poate desemna numai o entitate sfântă, pe când „miqdash” poate desemna fie un sanctuar sfânt, fie unul nesfânt — după cum determină contextul.

The “sanctuary of strength” in verse thirty-one is ‘miqdash’ and represents the sanctuary of Rome’s strength, which for both pagan and papal Rome was the city of Rome. From the battle of Actium, when Octavian united the empire, pagan Rome was invincible for three hundred and sixty years (a time) in fulfilment of verse twenty-four of Daniel eleven.

„Světyně síly“ ve třicátém prvním verši je „miqdash“ a představuje svatyni síly Říma, kterou jak pro pohanský, tak pro papežský Řím bylo město Řím. Od bitvy u Actia, kdy Oktavián sjednotil říši, byl pohanský Řím po tři sta šedesát let (jeden čas) neporazitelný, v naplnění dvacátého čtvrtého verše jedenácté kapitoly Daniela.

He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.

El va intra în pace chiar şi în cele mai roditoare ţinuturi ale provinciei; şi va face ceea ce n-au făcut părinţii lui, nici părinţii părinţilor lui; va împărţi între ei prada, jaful şi bogăţiile; da, îşi va pune la cale planurile împotriva fortăreţelor, însă numai pentru o vreme. Daniel 11:24.

When pagan Rome ruled from the city of Rome it was invincible, but when Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople in 330, the “time” of verse twenty-four was fulfilled. When the last of the three horns (the Goths) of Daniel seven were driven out of the city, papal Rome prophetically took the throne as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 538. The Goths had besieged Rome, but ultimately retreated as Belsarius, general for Justinian secured the city. The Roman church then ruled supremely for twelve hundred and sixty years until Napoleon had the pope removed and put in exile in 1798.

Ketika Roma kafir memerintah dari kota Roma, ia tak terkalahkan; tetapi ketika Konstantinus memindahkan ibu kota ke Konstantinopel pada tahun 330, “waktu” dari ayat dua puluh empat pun digenapi. Ketika yang terakhir dari ketiga tanduk itu (orang-orang Goth) dalam Daniel tujuh dihalau keluar dari kota, maka Roma kepausan secara profetis mengambil takhta sebagai kerajaan kelima dalam nubuatan Alkitab pada tahun 538. Orang-orang Goth telah mengepung Roma, tetapi pada akhirnya mundur ketika Belisarius, jenderal bagi Yustinianus, berhasil mengamankan kota itu. Gereja Roma kemudian memerintah secara tertinggi selama seribu dua ratus enam puluh tahun sampai Napoleon menyingkirkan paus dan membuangnya ke dalam pengasingan pada tahun 1798.

Rome, “the sanctuary of strength” was “polluted,” (polluted, meaning ‘wounded or dissolved’), through the “arms” from the ongoing warfare against the city, represented primarily by the first four trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.

റോം, “ശക്തിയുടെ വിശുദ്ധസ്ഥലം,” “അശുദ്ധമാക്കപ്പെട്ടു” (അശുദ്ധമാക്കപ്പെട്ടു എന്നത് ‘മുറിവേൽപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ടു അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വിഘടിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ടു’ എന്നർത്ഥം), നഗരത്തിനെതിരായ തുടർച്ചയായ യുദ്ധത്തിൽ നിന്നുണ്ടായ “ഭുജങ്ങൾ” മുഖാന്തരം; ഇത് പ്രധാനമായും വെളിപ്പാടുപുസ്തകത്തിലെ എട്ടാം അധ്യായത്തിലെ ആദ്യ നാല് കാഹളങ്ങളാൽ പ്രതിനിധീകരിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.

The history that ensued from 496 onward would see the city of Rome polluted as it changed from the power and glory of the Roman empire unto the power and glory of the Roman Catholic empire. Those arms would take away the religion of paganism, represented by the word “daily” in the passage, as they accepted the religion of Nicene Catholicism.

Историја која је уследила од 496. године па надаље видеће како је град Рим оскврњен док се мењао од силе и славе Римског царства ка сили и слави Римокатоличког царства. Те мишице ће уклонити религију паганства, представљену речју „свагдашња“ у том одломку, пошто су прихватиле религију никејског католицизма.

At the battle of Vouillé, Clovis defeated the Arian Visigoths under Alaric II and took Aquitaine. In the aftermath of the victory, in 508, the Eastern emperor Anastasius I (in Constantinople) honored Clovis for his victory over the Visigoths. Gregory of Tours says that Anastasius sent Clovis' official papers making him consul. At Tours, in Saint Martin’s church, Clovis put on a purple tunic and cloak, set a diadem on his head, rode out, and scattered gold and silver to the crowd. Gregory says that from that day he was hailed as consul and recognized by the Roman emperor that Clovis was a legitimate Christian king in the west. He was rewarded for breaking the Arian Visigoths, whom Constantinople also opposed. 508 is the year the emperor in the East publicly honored the Catholic Frankish king—church, victory, and Roman legitimacy in one scene. 508 is the year the Frankish Catholic kingdom stood as the dominant Catholic power in Gaul after breaking Arian Visigoth’s rule. Clovis is the first major barbarian king to fight for Nicene Catholicism against Arian kingdoms, and thus the prototype of the French role as “eldest daughter of the Church.” Clovis represents the period of 496 unto 508 and is the alpha symbol of the symbolic marriage treaty. The thirty years from 508 unto 538 are represented by Justinian who is the omega symbol of the procession.

Vi sodo de la Batalia de Vouillé, Clovis venkis la Arianajn Visigotojn sub Alariko la 2-a kaj ekposedis Akvitanion. Post la venko, en 508, la orienta imperiestro Anastazio la 1-a (en Konstantinopolo) honoris Clovis pro lia venko super la Visigotoj. Gregorio de Tours diras, ke Anastazio sendis al Clovis oficialajn dokumentojn, per kiuj li estis farita konsulo. En Tours, en la preĝejo de Sankta Marteno, Clovis surmetis purpuran tunikon kaj mantelon, metis diademon sur sian kapon, elrajdis, kaj disĵetis oron kaj arĝenton al la homamaso. Gregorio diras, ke ekde tiu tago li estis aklamata kiel konsulo, kaj la roma imperiestro rekonis, ke Clovis estis legitima kristana reĝo en la okcidento. Li estis rekompencita pro tio, ke li frakasis la Arianajn Visigotojn, kontraŭ kiuj ankaŭ Konstantinopolo staris. La jaro 508 estas la jaro, kiam la imperiestro en la Oriento publike honoris la katolikan frankan reĝon—eklezio, venko kaj roma legitimeco en unu sola sceno. La jaro 508 estas la jaro, kiam la franka katolika regno staris kiel la reganta katolika potenco en Gaŭlio post la rompo de la regado de la Arianaj Visigotoj. Clovis estas la unua grava barbara reĝo, kiu batalis por la nicea katolikismo kontraŭ la Arianaj regnoj, kaj tiel la prototipo de la franca rolo kiel “plej aĝa filino de la Eklezio.” Clovis reprezentas la periodon de 496 ĝis 508 kaj estas la alfa-simbolo de la simbola geedziĝa traktato. La tridek jaroj de 508 ĝis 538 estas reprezentataj de Justiniano, kiu estas la omega-simbolo de la procesio.

In 538, the “arms” placed the papal power on the throne of the earth for 1260 years. It was then that the symbolic treaty marriage was consummated at the conclusion of the marriage procession that had begun in 496. In 1798, the treaty marriage that had begun between the pope of Rome and Clovis of France, was disannulled when Napoleon of France divorced the papal power by having his general take the pope captive.

En 538, los “brazos” colocaron al poder papal en el trono de la tierra por 1260 años. Fue entonces cuando el matrimonio simbólico del tratado fue consumado al concluir la procesión matrimonial que había comenzado en 496. En 1798, el matrimonio del tratado que había comenzado entre el papa de Roma y Clodoveo de Francia fue anulado cuando Napoleón de Francia se divorció del poder papal al hacer que su general llevara cautivo al papa.

The alpha symbolic papal treaty marriage, which had begun its marriage procession in 496, was consummated at the Sunday law in 538, and it was thereafter disannulled in 1798, just as was every other treaty marriage of Daniel eleven. Revelation adds to the papal marital relationship between the kings of Europe and popes of Catholicism, for the dragon of Revelation twelve is both Satan and pagan Rome’s kings.

ଅଲ୍ଫା-ପ୍ରତୀକାତ୍ମକ ପାପାସୀୟ ସନ୍ଧି-ବିବାହ, ଯାହା 496 ମସିହାରେ ନିଜ ବିବାହ-ଯାତ୍ରା ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିଥିଲା, 538 ମସିହାରେ ରବିବାର-ବିଧି ସମୟରେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହୋଇଥିଲା, ଏବଂ ପରେ 1798 ମସିହାରେ ଏହା ବିଚ୍ଛିନ୍ନ କରାଯାଇଥିଲା, ଠିକ୍ ସେପରି ଯେପରି ଦାନିଏଲ ଏଗାରର ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଅନ୍ୟ ସନ୍ଧି-ବିବାହ ଥିଲା। ପ୍ରକାଶିତବାକ୍ୟ ପୋପମାନଙ୍କ କାଥଲିକ ଧର୍ମ ଏବଂ ୟୁରୋପର ରାଜମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଥିବା ପାପାସୀୟ ବିବାହିକ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧକୁ ଆହୁରି ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ କରେ, କାରଣ ପ୍ରକାଶିତବାକ୍ୟ ବାରର ଅଜଗର ସାତାନ ଓ ପୌରାଣିକ ରୋମର ରାଜମାନଙ୍କ—ଉଭୟଙ୍କୁ—ସୂଚିତ କରେ।

“Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 439.

“Por tanto, aunque el dragón representa, primordialmente, a Satanás, es, en un sentido secundario, un símbolo de la Roma pagana”. El conflicto de los siglos, 439.

In Revelation John informs us of three things the kings (the dragon) gave to the sea beast of Catholicism.

În Apocalipsa, Ioan ne spune despre trei lucruri pe care împărații (balaurul) le-au dat fiarei ieșite din mare a catolicismului.

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.

また、わたしが見た獣はひょうに似ており、その足は熊の足のようであり、その口はししの口のようであった。竜はこの獣に、自分の力と位と大いなる権威とを与えた。黙示録 13:2

In 496, the kings of Europe began providing the papal beast their “power” as represented by their military might and economic support. They had moved the capital of their empire to Constantinople in 330, leaving the city of Rome as the “seat” of the papal authority. The “arms” thereafter identified the papal church as the head of all churches in 533 with the decree of Justinian. The decree included the use of their military might to persecute those who the papacy identified as heretics, thus placing their civil “authority” into the hands of the popes.

496年、ヨーロッパの諸王は、その軍事力と経済的支援によって象徴される自らの「力」を、教皇制の獣に提供し始めた。彼らは330年に帝国の首都をコンスタンティノープルへ移し、ローマの都を教皇権の「座」として残した。その後、「武力」は、ユスティニアヌスの勅令による533年に、教皇教会をすべての教会のかしらとして確定した。その勅令には、教皇制が異端者と認定した者たちを迫害するために彼らの軍事力を用いることが含まれており、このようにして彼らの市民的「権威」は教皇たちの手に委ねられた。

The alpha treaty marriage between the papacy and the kings of Europe began with Clovis in 496. By 508, paganism, the legal religion of the realm was set aside for the religion of Nicene Catholicism. In 533, Justinian identified the papacy as the head of all churches, and surrendered the legal authority of their respective thrones unto the papal power.

496-жылы папалык менен Европанын падышаларынын ортосундагы альфа-ахддык нике Хлодвиг менен башталган. 508-жылга карата падышалыктын мыйзамдуу дини болгон бутпарастык четке кагылып, анын ордуна Никеялык католицизм дини кабыл алынган. 533-жылы Юстиниан папалыкты бардык чиркөөлөрдүн башчысы катары таанып, алардын тиешелүү тактыларынын мыйзамдуу бийлигин папалык бийликке өткөрүп берген.

The Alpha and Omega Seat

Scaunul Alfa și Omega

In 330, the city of Rome was left in the hands of the Roman church where she would be seated until she is destroyed in the lake of fire at Christ’s second coming. In 538, she was officially seated again upon the papal throne, thus identifying the history of 330 unto 538 as a prophetic period that begins with an alpha seat and ends with an omega seat. The period represents the ending of the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy (Pergamos) as a progressive demise beginning in 330 and ending in 538 with the arrival of Thyatira. Both western and eastern Rome continued the slow dissolution beyond 538, but the period began with giving the seat, representing the city of Rome to the papacy in 330, until the seat became not simply a throne over the city, but over the kingdom represented by the city in 538.

330 இல், ரோம் நகரம் ரோமன் சபையின் கைகளில் விடப்பட்டது; அங்கே அவள் கிறிஸ்துவின் இரண்டாம் வருகையில் அக்கினிக்குளத்தில் அழிக்கப்படும்வரை அமர்ந்திருப்பாள். 538 இல், அவள் அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக மறுபடியும் பாப்பரசர் சிங்காசனத்தின் மேல் அமர்த்தப்பட்டாள்; இவ்வாறு 330 முதல் 538 வரையிலான வரலாறு, ஒரு ஆல்பா இருக்கையால் ஆரம்பித்து ஒரு ஓமேகா இருக்கையால் முடிவுறும் ஒரு தீர்க்கதரிசனக் காலமாக அடையாளப்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. இந்தக் காலம், வேதாகமத் தீர்க்கதரிசனத்தின் நான்காவது ராஜ்யமான (பெர்கமு) ஒன்றின் முடிவை, 330 இல் தொடங்கி தியாகிராவின் வருகையுடன் 538 இல் நிறைவடையும் ஒரு முன்னேறும் வீழ்ச்சியாக பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்துகிறது. மேற்கத்திய மற்றும் கிழக்கத்திய ரோம் இரண்டும் 538-க்கு அப்பாற்பட்டும் மெதுவான சிதைவைக் தொடர்ந்தன; ஆனால் இந்தக் காலம் 330 இல் ரோம் நகரத்தைக் குறிக்கும் அந்த இருக்கை பாப்பரசருக்குக் கொடுக்கப்பட்டதிலிருந்து தொடங்கி, 538 இல் அந்த நகரத்தினால் பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்தப்பட்ட ராஜ்யத்தின் மேல் அதிகாரம் செலுத்தும் சிங்காசனமாக அது மாறும்வரை நீடித்தது.

330 to 538 is a specific prophetic period that defines the ‘eight’ waymarks of the papacy’s empowerment. Those eight steps are repeated in the healing of the papacy’s deadly wound at the soon-coming Sunday law.

३३० देखि ५३८ सम्मको अवधि एउटा विशिष्ट भविष्यसूचक कालखण्ड हो, जसले पापसीको सशक्तीकरणका ‘आठ’ मार्गचिन्हहरूलाई परिभाषित गर्दछ। ती आठ चरणहरू चाँडै आउन लागेको आइतबारको व्यवस्थामा पापसीको घातक घाउ निको पारिने घटनामा पुनः दोहोरिन्छन्।

The first of the eight steps was the giving of the city of Rome to the papal power, and the eighth step was the giving of the city as the throne of the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. This identifies 538 as the seat, and as ‘the eighth step, that is of the previous seven steps.’ The first step was the giving of the seat and the eighth step was the giving of the seat; thus, the first step in 330 is the alpha and 538 is the omega. Two seats, three horns removed, the daily taken away, Clovis’ conversion and Justinian’s decree equal eight total steps that identify the marriage procession, and ultimately the marriage.

In 1798, France, the power who had represented the ten European kings, who placed the papacy on the throne in 538, removed the papacy from that very throne. The alpha treaty marriage represented in the history of 538 unto 1798 typifies the omega treaty marriage of the papal power with the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The marriage procession from 496 unto 538 typifies eight steps that align with the last eight presidents of the United States. Clovis and France are symbols of the ten European kings. They represent the United States who will become the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings at the soon-coming Sunday law.

En 1798, Francia, la potencia que había representado a los diez reyes europeos, que colocó al papado en el trono en 538, quitó al papado de ese mismo trono. El matrimonio de tratado alfa representado en la historia desde 538 hasta 1798 tipifica el matrimonio de tratado omega del poder papal con los diez reyes de Apocalipsis diecisiete. La procesión matrimonial desde 496 hasta 538 tipifica ocho pasos que se alinean con los últimos ocho presidentes de los Estados Unidos. Clodoveo y Francia son símbolos de los diez reyes europeos. Ellos representan a los Estados Unidos, que llegarán a ser el rey principal de los diez reyes de Apocalipsis diecisiete en la ley dominical que pronto vendrá.

The five previous treaty marriages of Daniel eleven align with the sixth and final treaty marriage of the latter days. The alpha and omega treaty marriages of north and south identify the bride from the south as the alpha and the omega is a bride from the north. In the treaty marriages of pagan Rome, the alpha bride from the east was given to the west, and the omega of 313 was a bride from the west. Those four marriages are prophetically linked together by Cleopatra the first and Cleopatra the last. The symbolic treaty marriage of papal Rome represented the groom as the premier king of a prophetic confederacy of ten kings joining with their bride—the scarlet woman of Rome. The divorce was carried out by the premier king of the ten kings in 1798.

پنج ازدواجِ عهدیِ پیشینِ دانیال یازده با ششمین و آخرین ازدواجِ عهدیِ ایامِ آخر همسو هستند. ازدواج‌های عهدیِ الفا و اُمگای شمال و جنوب، عروسِ جنوب را به‌عنوان الفا معرفی می‌کنند و اُمگا عروسی از شمال است. در ازدواج‌های عهدیِ رومِ بت‌پرست، عروسِ الفا از شرق به غرب داده شد، و اُمگای سال ۳۱۳ عروسی از غرب بود. آن چهار ازدواج، به‌گونه‌ای نبوی، به‌وسیلهٔ کلئوپاترا نخست و کلئوپاترا آخر به یکدیگر پیوند داده شده‌اند. ازدواجِ عهدیِ نمادینِ رومِ پاپی، داماد را به‌عنوان پادشاهِ برترِ یک کنفدراسیونِ نبویِ ده پادشاه که با عروس خود—زنِ ارغوانیِ روم—متحد می‌شود، بازنمایی می‌کرد. طلاق به‌وسیلهٔ پادشاهِ برترِ آن ده پادشاه در سال ۱۷۹۸ اجرا شد.

The treaty marriage of 313 represents the final treaty marriage of the papal power with the United States—the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings; a two horned power that is typified by the two horned power of France. The history that began with Clovis in 496 and ultimately led to the decree of Justinian in 533 and the enthronement of the papacy in 538, represents the history of 1989 unto the Sunday law.

국가 간 조약적 혼인으로서의 313년은 교황권이 미국—요한계시록 17장의 열 왕 가운데 으뜸가는 왕이요, 프랑스의 두 뿔 가진 세력으로 예표된 두 뿔 가진 세력—과 맺는 마지막 조약적 혼인을 나타낸다. 496년 클로비스로 시작되어 마침내 533년 유스티니아누스의 칙령과 538년 교황권의 즉위에 이르게 된 역사는, 1989년부터 일요일 법에 이르기까지의 역사를 나타낸다.

We will continue these things in the next article.

Bunlardan bir sonrakı məqalədə bəhs etməyə davam edəcəyik.
