The book of Daniel identifies that it is Rome that establishes the vision, and that understanding was opposed by the Protestants of Millerite history when William Miller identified this fact. In the last days, it is still Rome that establishes the vision, and today Laodicean Adventism now upholds the fallen Protestant view that the robbers of thy people are Antiochus Epiphanes. The covenant people that were being passed by in Millerite history resisted the very same truth, that is now resisted by the covenant people of the last days that are now being passed by. Solomon said it well:
Igitabo cya Daniyeli kigaragaza ko ari Roma ishyiraho iyerekwa, kandi uko gusobanukirwa kwarwanyijwe n’Abaporotesitanti bo mu mateka y’Abamileriti igihe William Miller yagaragazaga icyo kuri. Mu minsi y’imperuka, ni na Roma igishyiraho iyerekwa, kandi uyu munsi Uwadiventisimu wa Lawodikiya ushyigikiye noneho imyumvire yaguye y’Abaporotesitanti ivuga ko abambuzi b’ubwoko bwawe ari Antiyokusi Epifane. Abantu b’isezerano barimo gusimbukwa mu mateka y’Abamileriti barwanyije ukuri nyakuri kumwe, ari na ko kurwanya ubu n’abantu b’isezerano bo mu minsi y’imperuka na bo ubu barimo gusimbukwa. Salomo yabivuze neza:
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10.
Ikintu cyabaye ni cyo kizaba; kandi igikozwe ni cyo kizakorwa: nta kintu gishya kiri munsi y’izuba. Mbese hari ikintu cyavugwaho ngo, Dore iki ni gishya? Cyarabaye kera, mu bihe byahozeho mbere yacu. Umubwiriza 1:9, 10.
Prophetically there are three manifestations of Rome, and the first two manifestations identify the characteristics of the third, for truth is established upon the testimony of two.
Mu buryo bw’ubuhanuzi hariho uburyo butatu Roma yigaragazamo, kandi uburyo bubiri bwa mbere bugaragaza imimerere y’ubwa gatatu, kuko ukuri gushimangirwa n’ubuhamya bwa babiri.
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Matthew 18:16.
Ariko natakwumva, uzajyane na we undi muntu umwe cyangwa babiri, kugira ngo mu kanwa k’abagabo babiri cyangwa batatu ijambo ryose rihamirizwe. Matayo 18:16.
The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and paganism is a counterfeit of true religion. It is not so much a counterfeit in the sense that counterfeit currency is understood, for paganism actually looks nothing like true religion. But prophetically it has counterfeit characteristics. The City of Rome is a counterfeit of Jerusalem, and it has a temple (the Pantheon) that was a counterfeit of the temple in Jerusalem. The religious practices of paganism are unsanctified and devilish, but they represent Satan’s counterfeit religious practices. The head of pagan Rome’s religion was titled Pontifex Maximus. “Pontifex Maximus” originally referred to the chief priest of the Roman state religion in ancient Rome, with its origins dating back to the early Roman Republic. Over time, it became associated with political and religious authority and eventually evolved into the title used by the Pope in the Roman Catholic Church today.
Idini ya Roma ya gipagani yari ubupagani, kandi ubupagani ni ihimbano ry’idini y’ukuri. Ntabwo ari ihimbano cyane mu buryo ifaranga ry’inyiganano risanzwe risobanurwa, kuko mu by’ukuri ubupagani nta cyo busa na gato n’idini y’ukuri. Ariko mu buryo bw’ubuhanuzi bufite ibiranga ihimbano. Umujyi wa Roma ni ihimbano rya Yerusalemu, kandi ufite urusengero (Pantheon) rwari ihimbano ry’urusengero rw’i Yerusalemu. Imihango y’idini y’ubupagani ntiriyejejwe kandi ni iya satani, ariko ihagarariye imigenzereze y’idini y’inyiganano ya Satani. Umutwe w’idini ya Roma ya gipagani wari ufite izina rya Pontifex Maximus. “Pontifex Maximus” mu ntangiriro yerekezwaga ku mutambyi mukuru w’idini ya Leta y’Abaroma muri Roma ya kera, inkomoko yayo igasubira mu ntangiriro za Repubulika y’Abaroma. Uko igihe cyagiye gihita, ryaje kujyanishwa n’ubutegetsi bwa politiki n’ubw’idini, hanyuma amaherezo rihinduka izina rikoreshwa na Papa muri Kiliziya Gatolika y’Abaroma muri iki gihe.
The title of the chief priest of pagan Rome was Pontifex Maximus, and it was also the title of the chief priest of papal Rome and it is a Latin term that means the “Greatest of Supreme Pontiff.” He was the chief priest of the Roman state religion, particularly the cult of the god Jupiter. The Pontifex Maximus had significant religious authority and responsibilities, including overseeing various religious rites and ensuring the proper functioning of the Roman religious calendar. The Pontifex Maximus was the head of the College of Pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum), a group of priests responsible for interpreting and maintaining the rituals of Roman religion.
Izina ry’umutambyi mukuru wa Roma ya gipagani ryari **Pontifex Maximus**, kandi ni na ryo ryari izina ry’umutambyi mukuru wa Roma ya gikipapa; kandi ni ijambo ry’Ikilatini risobanura “Usumba bose mu Bapontife bo ku rwego rw’ikirenga.” Yari umutambyi mukuru w’idini rya Leta y’Abaroma, by’umwihariko iry’ugusenga ikigirwamana Yupiteri. **Pontifex Maximus** yari afite ubutware bukomeye mu by’idini n’inshingano zikomeye, harimo kugenzura imihango inyuranye y’idini no kwemeza ko kalendari y’idini y’Abaroma ikora uko bikwiye. **Pontifex Maximus** yari umuyobozi w’Inteko y’Abapontife (**Collegium Pontificum**), itsinda ry’abatambyi bashinzwe gusobanura no gukomeza imihango y’idini ry’Abaroma.
The chief priest of both pagan and papal Rome was Pontifex Maximus, therefore the title of the head of modern Rome will naturally also be Pontifex Maximus. The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and the religion of papal Rome was, and still is, paganism, but cloaked by a profession of Christianity, and the religion of last-day modern Rome will be paganism, cloaked by a profession of Christianity.
Umutambyi mukuru w’i Roma ya gipagani n’iya gipapa yari Pontifex Maximus; bityo rero umutwe w’i Roma ya none na wo, uko bisanzwe, azitwa Pontifex Maximus. Idini ry’i Roma ya gipagani ryari ubupagani, kandi idini ry’i Roma ya gipapa ryari, kandi riracyari, ubupagani, ariko bwambitswe umwambaro wo kwiyitirira Ubukristo; kandi idini ry’i Roma ya none yo mu minsi y’imperuka na ryo rizaba ari ubupagani, bwambitswe umwambaro wo kwiyitirira Ubukristo.
Both pagan and papal Rome had a specific period of time that they would rule supremely. Pagan Rome was to rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years in fulfillment of the time prophecy of Daniel chapter eleven, verse twenty-four.
Roma ya gipagani n’iya gipapa byombi byari bifite igihe cyihariye byagombaga gutegekamo by’ikirenga. Roma ya gipagani yagombaga gutegekana ububasha bw’ikirenga mu gihe cy’imyaka magana atatu na mirongo itandatu, mu isohozwa ry’ubuhanuzi bw’igihe buri muri Daniyeli igice cya cumi na kimwe, umurongo wa makumyabiri na kane.
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.
Azinjira mu ituze, ndetse no mu hantu h’icyo gihugu harumbuka kurusha ahandi; kandi azakora ibyo ba sekuru batigeze bakora, cyangwa se ba sekuruza babo; azabagabanyamo iminyago, n’ibyanyazwe, n’ubutunzi: koko azategurira ibihome bikomeye imigambi ye, ariko igihe gito. Daniyeli 11:24.
The subject of verse twenty-four is pagan Rome, for they became the subject in verse sixteen, and continue as the subject until verse thirty-one. We will address these verses specifically in coming articles, but here we are simply pointing out that prophecy identified that pagan Rome would rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years, as represented by Rome “forecasting” their “devices against the strong holds, even for a time.” The word translated “against” actually means “from,” and the verse is saying that Rome would direct the world “from” the “strong holds,” which was the City of Rome, and it would do so for a “time”, which is three hundred and sixty years.
Ikivugwa mu murongo wa makumyabiri n’ine ni Roma ya gipagani, kuko ari bo babaye ikivugwa mu murongo wa cumi na gatandatu, kandi bagakomeza kuba ari bo bavugwaho kugeza ku murongo wa mirongo itatu n’umwe. Iyi mirongo tuzayivugaho by’umwihariko mu nyandiko zizakurikiraho, ariko hano icyo turimo gusa ni ukugaragaza ko ubuhanuzi bwerekanye ko Roma ya gipagani yari gutegeka ku buryo bw’ikirenga imyaka magana atatu na mirongo itandatu, nk’uko bigaragazwa na Roma “itegura” “imigambi yayo irwanya ibihome bikomeye, ndetse kugeza igihe runaka.” Ijambo ryahinduwemo “irwanya” mu by’ukuri risobanura “ivuye,” kandi uwo murongo uravuga ko Roma yari kuyobora isi “ivuye” ku “bihome bikomeye,” ari wo Mujyi wa Roma, kandi yari kubikora mu gihe kingana na “igihe,” ari cyo myaka magana atatu na mirongo itandatu.
Pagan Rome began to rule supremely at the Battle of Actium, in 31 BC, and continued to rule supremely until the year 330 AD, when Constantine moved the capital of the empire from the stronghold of the City of Rome, to the City of Constantinople. Then the empire began its infamous decline. The City of Rome was the prophetic “strong hold” for pagan Rome, and when it ruled from that city it was invincible. In the warfare that followed Constantine’s transfer of power, the City of Rome became the target of attack for Genseric and the invading barbarian tribes, who are represented by the first four Trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.
Roma y’abapagani yatangiye gutegeka by’indashyikirwa ku Rugamba rw’i Actium, mu mwaka wa 31 mbere ya Kristo, ikomeza gutegeka by’indashyikirwa kugeza mu mwaka wa 330 nyuma ya Kristo, igihe Konstantini yimuriraga umurwa mukuru w’ubwami awuvanye mu gihome gikomeye cy’Umujyi wa Roma awujyana mu Mujyi wa Konstantinopole. Hanyuma ubwo bwami butangira gusubira inyuma mu buryo bwabwo buzwiho kubahwa nabi. Umujyi wa Roma wari “igihome gikomeye” cy’ubuhanuzi cya Roma y’abapagani, kandi igihe yategekaga iri muri uwo mujyi ntiyashoboraga kuneshwa. Mu ntambara zakurikiyeho iyimurwa ry’ubutegetsi ryakozwe na Konstantini, Umujyi wa Roma wabaye ikigenderwaho cy’ibitero bya Genseric n’imiryango y’ababaribari yateye, ihagarariwe n’Amahembe ane ya mbere yo mu Byahishuwe igice cya munani.
For this reason in Daniel chapter eleven, verse thirty-one, the “arms” (pagan Rome) that stood up for the papacy, first polluted the “sanctuary of strength.” The City of Rome is the prophetic “sanctuary of strength” for both pagan and papal Rome, for in the year 330, with the transfer of pagan authority to Constantinople, the City of Rome was left to papal Rome that was on the rise. For this reason, Revelation chapter thirteen, verse two says the dragon (pagan Rome), gave papal Rome its “seat.” A “seat” is where a power rules from, and from the year 538 through to 1798, papal Rome ruled supremely as had pagan Rome ruled supremely for “a time”.
Ni yo mpamvu mu gitabo cya Daniyeli igice cya cumi na kimwe, umurongo wa mirongo itatu n’umwe, “amaboko” (Roma y’abapagani) yahagurukiye gushyigikira ubupapa, yabanje guhumanya “Ubuturo bwera bw’imbaraga.” Umujyi wa Roma ni wo “Buturo bwera bw’imbaraga” mu buhanuzi kuri Roma y’abapagani no kuri Roma ya gipapa, kuko mu mwaka wa 330, igihe ubutegetsi bwa gipagani bwimurirwaga i Constantinople, Umujyi wa Roma wasigiwe Roma ya gipapa yari irimo kuzamuka. Ni yo mpamvu Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na gatatu, umurongo wa kabiri, havuga ko ikiyoka (Roma y’abapagani) cyahaye Roma ya gipapa “intebe” yacyo. “Intebe” ni aho ububasha butegekera buhereye, kandi kuva mu mwaka wa 538 kugeza mu wa 1798, Roma ya gipapa yategetse ifite ubutegetsi busesuye nk’uko Roma y’abapagani na yo yategetse ifite ubutegetsi busesuye mu gihe cy’“igihe”.
Prophecy identifies a specific period of time when both pagan and papal Rome would rule supremely, and when they did so it would be from their seat of authority, which was the City of Rome. Pagan Rome’s invincibility ended when they left the City of Rome, marking the end of the three hundred and sixty years, represented as a “time” in verse twenty-four, and when the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal rule ended in 1798, Napoleon had the pope taken out of the City of Rome and he died in exile.
Ubuhanuzi bugaragaza igihe cyihariye ubwo Roma ya gipagani na Roma ya kipapa byombi byategekaga ku buryo busesuye; kandi igihe byabikoraga, byabikoreraga ku ntebe yabyo y’ubutegetsi, ari wo Murwa wa Roma. Kudatsindwa kwa Roma ya gipagani kwarangiye ubwo yavaga mu Murwa wa Roma, ibyo bikaba byararanze iherezo ry’iyo myaka magana atatu na mirongo itandatu, igaragazwa nk’“igihe” mu murongo wa makumyabiri n’ine; kandi ubwo imyaka igihumbi na magana abiri na mirongo itandatu y’ubutegetsi bwa kipapa yarangiraga mu 1798, Napoleon yategetse ko papa akurwa mu Murwa wa Roma, maze apfira mu buhungiro.
Pagan Rome and Papal Rome establish that modern Rome will rule supremely for a specific prophetic period in the last days. “Time is no longer”, but the period of papal persecution of the last days is a specific period that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States and continues until human probation closes, when Michael stands up and pronounces, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”
Roma ya gipagani na Roma ya gipapa bishyiraho ko Roma ya none izategeka ku buryo buruta byose mu gihe cy’ubuhanuzi cyihariye mu minsi y’imperuka. “Igihe ntikikiriho,” ariko igihe cyo kurenganywa na gipapa cyo mu minsi y’imperuka ni igihe cyihariye gitangirira ku itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, kandi rigakomeza kugeza igihe igihe cy’igeragezwa cy’umuntu kirangiriye, ubwo Mikayeli azahaguruka akavuga ati: “Ukiranirwa nakomeze akiranirwe: n’uwanduye nakomeze yandure: kandi ukiranuka nakomeze akiranuke: n’uwera nakomeze yerwe.”
Pagan Rome persecuted Christians in the Colosseum in the City of Rome during its bloody history, and Christian historians have estimated that during the Dark Ages of papal rule one hundred million martyrs were murdered by the papacy, but the papacy denies that claim and sets the estimate at about fifty million. Pagan and papal Rome both persecuted God’s faithful, and modern Rome will also persecute God’s faithful people in the last days.
Roma ya gipagani yatoteje Abakristo muri Kolosewumu yo mu Murwa wa Roma mu mateka yayo yuzuye amaraso, kandi abahanga mu mateka y’Abakristo bagereranyije ko mu Bihe by’Umwijima by’ubutegetsi bwa papa, abahowe ukwizera bagera kuri miliyoni ijana bishwe n’ubupapa, ariko ubupapa buhakana iyo mvugo bukagena uwo mubare ko ari nka miliyoni mirongo itanu. Roma ya gipagani na Roma y’ubupapa byombi byatoteje abizerwa b’Imana, kandi Roma y’iki gihe na yo izatoteza ubwoko bw’Imana bwizerwa mu minsi y’imperuka.
“Many will be imprisoned, many will flee for their lives from cities and towns, and many will be martyrs for Christ’s sake in standing in defense of the truth.” Selected Messages, book 3, 397.
“Benshi bazafungwa, benshi bazahunga bava mu migi no mu duce dutuwemo kugira ngo barokore ubuzima bwabo, kandi benshi bazicwa bazira Kristo kubera guhagarara bashyigikira ukuri.” Selected Messages, igitabo cya 3, 397.
Pagan Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Papal Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Modern Rome overcame the King of the South (the atheistic Soviet Union) in 1989, and will next overthrow the glorious land (the United States) at the soon coming Sunday law. It will then overcome Egypt (the entire world).
Roma ya gipagani yatsinze inzitizi eshatu z’akarere uko yagendaga ifata ubutegetsi ku isi. Roma ya gipapa yatsinze inzitizi eshatu z’akarere uko yagendaga ifata ubutegetsi ku isi. Roma ya none yatsinze Umwami w’Ikusi (Ubumwe bw’Abasoviyeti butemera Imana) mu 1989, kandi ikizakurikiraho izatsinda igihugu cy’ikuzo (Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika) mu itegeko rya vuba ry’Umunsi w’Icyumweru. Hanyuma izatsinda Misiri (isi yose).
“All society is ranging into two great classes, the obedient and the disobedient. Among which class shall we be found?
“Abantu bose bo mu muryango mugari wa sosiyete barimo kwigabanyamo amatsinda abiri akomeye, abubaha n’abatumvira. Tuzasangwa turi mu rihe tsinda?”
“Those who keep God’s commandments, those who live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, compose the church of the living God. Those who choose to follow Antichrist are subjects of the great apostate. Ranged under the banner of Satan, they break God’s law, and lead others to break it. They endeavor so to frame the laws of nations that men shall show their loyalty to earthly governments by trampling upon the laws of God’s kingdom.
“Abubahiriza amategeko y’Imana, abatagira imibereho ishingiye ku mutsima gusa, ahubwo bayikesha ijambo ryose rituruka mu kanwa k’Imana, ni bo bagize Itorero ry’Imana nzima. Abahitamo gukurikira Antikristo ni abayoboke b’uwo muhakanyi mukuru. Bari munsi y’ibendera rya Satani, bishe amategeko y’Imana kandi bayobora n’abandi kuyica. Baharanira guhindura amategeko y’amahanga mu buryo abantu bazagaragaza ubudahemuka bwabo ku butegetsi bwo ku isi bihonyora amategeko y’Ubwami bw’Imana.”
“Satan is diverting minds with unimportant questions, in order that they shall not with clear and distinct vision see matters of vast importance. The enemy is planning to ensnare the world.

“The so-called Christian world is to be the theater of great and decisive actions. Men in authority will enact laws controlling the conscience, after the example of the Papacy. Babylon will make all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Every nation will be involved.” Manuscript Releases, volume 1, 296.
“Icyitwa isi ya Gikristo ni yo izaberamo ibikorwa bikomeye kandi bifata ibyemezo bya nyuma. Abafite ubutware bazashyiraho amategeko agenga umutimanama, bakurikije urugero rw’Ubupapa. Babuloni izahatira amahanga yose kunywa vino y’umujinya w’ubusambanyi bwayo. Buri gihugu cyose kizabigiramo uruhare.” Manuscript Releases, volume 1, 296.
In order to defend the truth that identifies the “glorious land” of Daniel eleven verse forty-one as a symbol of the United States, the Lion of the tribe of Judah opened to the students of prophecy of the last days the principle of the triple application of prophecy. The light from those last six verses, have been established by applying the history represented by “the daily” in the book of Daniel, as set forth in verse thirty-one of Daniel eleven, unto the last six verses of the chapter. The same bedrock truth (“the daily”), that became the key of Miller’s prophetic framework, also produced the prophetic framework of the last days. Miller’s framework was based upon the two desolating powers of paganism and papalism that persecuted God’s people, and the framework of the last days is based upon the three desolating powers that persecute God’s people in the last days.
Kugira ngo harindwe ukuri kugaragaza ko “igihugu cy’ikuzo” cyo muri Daniyeli 11:41 ari ikimenyetso cya Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika, Intare yo mu muryango wa Yuda yahishuriye abanyeshuri b’ubuhanuzi bo mu minsi y’imperuka ihame ry’ishyirwa mu bikorwa ry’ubuhanuzi inshuro eshatu. Umucyo uva muri iyo mirongo itandatu ya nyuma washimangiwe binyuze mu gushyira amateka ahagarariwe na “iby’iteka” mu gitabo cya Daniyeli, nk’uko bitegurwa mu murongo wa mirongo itatu n’umwe wa Daniyeli 11, ku mirongo itandatu ya nyuma y’uwo mutwe. Ukwo kuri kw’ishingiro nyakuri (“iby’iteka”), kwabaye urufunguzo rw’inzego z’ubuhanuzi za Miller, ni na ko kwanatanze urwego rw’ubuhanuzi rw’iminsi y’imperuka. Urwego rwa Miller rwashingiye ku butegetsi bubiri bw’isenywa, ari bwo ubupagani n’ubupapa, byatotezaga ubwoko bw’Imana, kandi urwego rw’iminsi y’imperuka rushingiye ku butegetsi butatu bw’isenywa butoteza ubwoko bw’Imana mu minsi y’imperuka.
The increase of knowledge represented in the last six verses of Daniel eleven, that represent the increase of knowledge that arrived in 1989, and that are represented by the Hiddekel River, was resisted by the enemies of truth. That resistance led to an understanding of the principle of the triple application of prophecy, which was first recognized as a triple application of Rome, which is the subject that establishes the vision of prophetic history.
Ukwiyongera k’ubumenyi kugaragajwe mu mirongo itandatu ya nyuma ya Daniyeli cumi n’umwe, igaragaza ukwiyongera k’ubumenyi kwagezeho mu 1989, kandi kugereranywa n’Umugezi wa Hidekeli, kwarwanyijwe n’abanzi b’ukuri. Uko kurwanywa kwatumye habaho gusobanukirwa ihame ry’imikoreshereze itatu y’ubuhanuzi, ryabanje kumenyekana nk’imikoreshereze itatu ya Roma, ari yo ngingo ishyiraho iyerekwa ry’amateka y’ubuhanuzi.
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18.

The triple application of the three manifestations of Rome identifies that pagan and papal Rome’s religion is paganism, and that their religion is governed by a man titled Pontifex Maximus. Those two manifestations of Rome identify that three geographical powers are removed in advance of them ruling supremely for a specified period of time, and that they will rule from the seven-hilled city of Rome, which is their sanctuary of strength. They both witnessed to the fact that they persecuted God’s faithful people. Therefore, based upon these two witnesses we know that modern Rome’s religion will be paganism, and that she will be directed by the pope of Rome whose title is Pontifex Maximus.
Ishyirwa mu bikorwa incuro eshatu ry’ibigaragaza bitatu bya Roma rigaragaza ko idini rya Roma ya gipagani n’iya gipapa ari ubupagani, kandi ko iryo dini ritegekwa n’umuntu ufite umutwe wa Pontifex Maximus. Ibyo bigaragaza bibiri bya Roma byerekana ko imbaraga eshatu z’ahantu h’isi zikurwaho mbere y’uko zo zitangira gutegeka mu buryo bw’ikirenga mu gihe cyagenwe, kandi ko zizategekera mu murwa wa Roma w’imisozi irindwi, ari wo buturo bwazo bw’imbaraga. Zombi zahamije ukuri k’uko zarenganyije ubwoko bw’Imana bw’indahemuka. Ni cyo gituma, dushingiye kuri abo bahamya babiri, tuzi ko idini rya Roma ya none rizaba ubupagani, kandi ko izayoborwa na papa wa Roma, ufite umutwe wa Pontifex Maximus.
Before the great whore takes control and rules supremely modern Rome will need to overcome three obstacles, and the first obstacle is past history with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1989, Rome’s atheistic enemy that resisted Rome’s power in Europe. The next obstacle is overthrown at the soon coming Sunday law in the United States, and then the United Nations will give its authority unto modern Rome for a short space. Once it is fully enthroned the persecution of the last days will take place.
Mbere y’uko maraya ukomeye afata ubutegetsi kandi akategeka ku buryo busesuye, Roma ya none izaba ikeneye kunesha inzitizi eshatu, kandi inzitizi ya mbere yamaze kurenga, ari yo amateka yahise, hamwe no gusenyuka kw’Ubumwe bw’Abasoviyeti mu 1989, umwanzi wa Roma utarizeraga Imana wari wararwanyije ububasha bwa Roma i Burayi. Inzitizi ikurikiraho izakurwaho n’itegeko ryo ku cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika, maze hanyuma Umuryango w’Abibumbye uzaha ububasha bwawo Roma ya none mu gihe gito. Nimara kwimikwaho byuzuye, itotezwa ryo mu minsi y’imperuka rizaba.
The book of Daniel, and especially Revelation chapter eight, provide the prophetic characteristics of Rome, which contribute to the correct understanding of modern Rome. One of those characteristics was the division of the Roman Empire into East and West as accomplished by Constantine in the year 330. Pagan Rome and papal Rome, when considered together, also speak to the twofold nature of Rome. Constantine’s division that produced western and eastern Rome is a second witness to pagan and papal Rome. Constantine set up the civil authority in the east, and left the ecclesiastical authority in the west. Pagan Rome represented statecraft and papal Rome represented churchcraft. The east was statecraft, the west was churchcraft as typified by the iron and clay of Daniel two, or the masculine horn and feminine horn of Daniel eight, or the beasts of prey of Daniel seven, and the sanctuary beasts of Daniel eight.
Igitabo cya Daniyeli, kandi cyane cyane Ibyahishuwe igice cya munani, bitanga ibiranga ubuhanuzi bya Roma, bifasha kugera ku gusobanukirwa nyakuri kwa Roma ya none. Kimwe muri ibyo biranga ni ugucikamo ibice kw’Ubwami bw’Abaroma bukaba Uburasirazuba n’Uburengerazuba, nk’uko byakozwe na Konstantino mu mwaka wa 330. Roma ya gipagani na Roma ya gipapa, iyo bifatiwe hamwe, na byo bivuga imiterere ya Roma y’impande ebyiri. Ugucamo ibice kwa Konstantino kwabyaye Roma y’iburengerazuba na Roma y’iburasirazuba ni umuhamya wa kabiri uhamya Roma ya gipagani na Roma ya gipapa. Konstantino yashyizeho ubutware bwa gisivili mu burasirazuba, maze asiga ubutware bwa kiliziya mu burengerazuba. Roma ya gipagani yagereranyaga ubutegetsi bwa leta, naho Roma ya gipapa ikagereranya ubutegetsi bwa kiliziya. Uburasirazuba bwari ubutegetsi bwa leta, uburengerazuba bukaba ubutegetsi bwa kiliziya, nk’uko byashushanyijwe n’icyuma n’ibumba byo muri Daniyeli 2, cyangwa ihembe ry’ubugabo n’ihembe ry’ubugore byo muri Daniyeli 8, cyangwa inyamaswa z’inkazi zo muri Daniyeli 7, n’inyamaswa zo mu buturo bwera zo muri Daniyeli 8.
Modern Rome will also be twofold in nature, consisting of a combination of church and state, of iron and clay, and of churchcraft and statecraft, but Modern Rome is also threefold in nature. In Revelation chapter eight both western and eastern Rome were literally and symbolically divided into three. Constantine ruling from eastern Rome literally divided his kingdom to his three sons, and western Rome was symbolically represented by the sun, moon and stars that represented the threefold form of government that was employed by the Roman Empire. Thus, Modern Rome, though being twofold of churchcraft and statecraft, would also represent a threefold union represented by the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
Roma ya none na yo izaba ifite kamere k’ubwoko bubiri, igizwe n’ihuriro ry’itorero na Leta, ry’icyuma n’ibumba, n’iry’ubuyobozi bw’itorero n’ubwa Leta; ariko kandi Roma ya none na yo ifite kamere y’ubwoko butatu. Mu Byahishuwe igice cya munani, Roma y’iburengerazuba na Roma y’iburasirazuba byombi byagabanyijwe mo ibice bitatu, haba mu buryo bw’ukuri no mu buryo bw’ikimenyetso. Konstantino, wari utegetse i Roma y’iburasirazuba, yagabanyije ubwami bwe mu buryo bw’ukuri abuha abahungu be batatu; kandi Roma y’iburengerazuba yagereranyijwe mu buryo bw’ikimenyetso n’izuba, ukwezi n’inyenyeri, byagereranyaga uburyo bw’imiyoborere butatu bwakoreshwaga n’Ubwami bw’Abaroma. Bityo rero, Roma ya none, nubwo ifite ubwoko bubiri bw’ubuyobozi bw’itorero n’ubwa Leta, izaba kandi igereranya ubumwe bw’ubwoko butatu bugaragazwa n’ikiyoka, inyamaswa n’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma.
The manifestations of pagan and papal Rome identify the complex prophetic makeup of the final Modern Rome. It is the threefold union that takes place at the soon coming Sunday law that leads the world to Armageddon. It is the worldwide “Image of the Beast” which is a symbol of the combination of Church and State. Its head is Pontifex Maximus, who rules from the City of Rome, which is the seat of his power. The man of sin’s civil authority will be provided by the United Nations, and the world will be forced to accept the threefold, yet dual system of the antichrist, by the coercive power of the United States. Thus, just as pagan Rome (the dragon) in Revelation thirteen, verse two, gave the papacy “his power, his seat and great authority”, the United States, as typified by pagan Rome, accomplishes the same three works for modern Rome. The seat is Vatican City in the seven-hilled city of Rome, the authority is the United Nations, and the power is the United States. Together they lead the world to a place where the papacy “shall come to his end, and none shall help him”.
Imigaragarire ya Roma ya gipagani n’iya gikipapa igaragaza imimerere y’ubuhanuzi igizwe n’ingingo nyinshi ya Roma ya nyuma ya Kijyambere. Ni ubumwe bw’impande eshatu bubaho igihe itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba, bukageza isi kuri Arumagedoni. Ni yo “Shusho y’Inyamaswa” yo ku isi hose, ikaba ikimenyetso cy’ihuriro ry’Itorero na Leta. Umutwe wayo ni Pontifex Maximus, utegeka ari mu Murwa wa Roma, ari wo ntebe y’ububasha bwe. Ubutegetsi bwa gisivili bw’umuntu w’icyaha buzahabwa n’Umuryango w’Abibumbye, kandi isi izahatirwa kwemera iyo gahunda y’impande eshatu, nyamara iri mu buryo bubiri, ya antikristo, binyuze mu mbaraga z’agahato za Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika. Bityo rero, nk’uko Roma ya gipagani (ikiyoka) yo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi na gatatu, umurongo wa kabiri, yahaye ubupapa “imbaraga zayo, intebe yayo n’ubutware bukomeye”, ni ko Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, nk’uko zagereranyijwe na Roma ya gipagani, zisohoza iyo mirimo itatu imwe kuri Roma ya kijyambere. Intebe ni Umurwa wa Vatikani mu murwa wa Roma w’imisozi irindwi, ubutware ni Umuryango w’Abibumbye, kandi imbaraga ni Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika. Bafatanyije bayobora isi ahantu ubupapa “buzagera ku iherezo ryabwo, kandi nta uzabutabaza”.

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. Revelation 16:12–17.
Nuko marayika wa gatandatu asuka urwabya rwe ku ruzi runini rwa Ufurate; amazi yarwo arakama, kugira ngo inzira y’abami baturuka iburasirazuba itegurwe. Mbona imyuka mibi itatu imeze nk’ibikeri iva mu kanwa k’ikiyoka, no mu kanwa k’inyamaswa, no mu kanwa k’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma. Kuko ari imyuka y’abadayimoni, ikora ibitangaza, ijya ku bami bo mu isi no ku bo mu isi yose, kugira ngo ibakoranyirize ku rugamba rw’uwo munsi ukomeye w’Imana Ishoborabyose. Dore, ndaza nk’umujura. Hahirwa ūba maso, kandi akarinda imyambaro ye, kugira ngo atagenda yambaye ubusa, maze bakabona isoni ze. Nuko ibakoranyiriza hamwe ahantu hitwa mu rurimi rw’Igiheburayo Arumagedoni. Nuko marayika wa karindwi asuka urwabya rwe mu kirere; maze ijwi rikomeye rituruka mu rusengero rwo mu ijuru, rivuye ku ntebe y’ubwami, riravuga riti: Birarangiye. Ibyahishuwe 16:12–17.
