We are in the process of considering Revelation chapters eleven through thirteen, where we find all the antagonists in the final probationary battle of the great controversy that occurs on the battlefield of the first heaven. The antagonists are the one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude that comes out of Babylon as a secondary force, against the United Nations, the Catholic Church, the United States and Satan himself. The one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude are God’s army, representing the third angel’s message, and both sides in the warfare are also confronted with the army of God’s judgment, represented not by the third angel, but by the third woe.
Waxa aynu ku jirnaa geeddi-socodka ka-fiirsashada Muujintii cutubyada kow iyo tobnaad ilaa saddex iyo tobnaad, halkaas oo aynu ka helayno dhammaan kuwa iska soo horjeeda ee dagaalka ugu dambeeya ee muddada tijaabada ee muranka weyn, kaas oo ka dhaca goobta dagaalka ee samada kowaad. Kuwa iska soo horjeedaa waa boqolka afartan iyo afarta kun iyo dadkii badnaa ee ka soo baxa Baabuloon oo ah ciidan labaad, kuwaas oo ka soo horjeeda Qaramada Midoobay, Kaniisadda Kaatooligga, Maraykanka iyo Shayddaanka laftiisa. Boqolka afartan iyo afarta kun iyo dadkii badnaa waa ciidanka Ilaah, iyagoo matalaya farriinta malaa’igta saddexaad, waxaana labada dhinac ee dagaalkaba sidoo kale la hor keenaa ciidanka xukunka Ilaah, kaas oo aan lagu matalin malaa’igta saddexaad, balse lagu matalo hoogga saddexaad.
In order to identify certain characteristics that contributed to the murder of the Republican and Protestant horns in 2020, we are seeking to identify prophetic characteristics that occur in the battle of mankind in the first heaven, from the Sunday law until Michael stands up. In that history the entire world is forced to erect an image to the beast. That history is a repetition of the history of the United States from September 11, 2001, until the soon coming Sunday law, which divides those two parallel histories. As parallel histories they both represent a witness to the other history. What takes place in one of those histories, will also take place in the other history. It is the second history that is the focus of Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, and we intend to understand the second witness, in order to shed prophetic light upon the first history, which is now almost finished.
Si loo aqoonsado sifooyin gaar ah oo gacan ka geystay dilkii geesihii Jamhuuriga iyo Borotestaanka sannadkii 2020, waxaan doonaynaa inaan aqoonsanno sifooyin nebiyadeed oo ka muuqda dagaalka aadanaha ee samada koowaad, laga bilaabo sharciga Axadda ilaa Miikaa’iil istaago. Taariikhdaas dunida oo dhan ayaa lagu qasbaa inay taagto sanamkii bahalka. Taariikhdaas waa ku celcelin taariikhda Maraykanka laga soo bilaabo Sebtembar 11, 2001, ilaa sharciga Axadda ee dhawaan imanaya, kaas oo kala qaybiya labadaas taariikhood ee isbarbar socda. Maaddaama ay yihiin taariikho isbarbar socda, labaduba waxay markhaati u yihiin taariikhda kale. Waxa ka dhaca mid ka mid ah taariikhahaas, sidoo kale waxa uu ka dhici doonaa ta kale. Waa taariikhda labaad tan diiradda lagu saarayo Muujintii cutubyada laba iyo tobnaad iyo saddex iyo tobnaad, waxaana ujeedadeennu tahay inaan fahanno markhaatiga labaad, si aan iftiin nebiyadeed ugu iftiiminno taariikhda koowaad, taas oo haatan ku dhow inay dhammaato.
The three powers that lead the world to Armageddon are represented in chapters twelve and thirteen. The dragon power is first mentioned.
Saddexda quwadood ee dunida u horseeda Armageddoon waxaa lagu matalay cutubyada laba iyo tobnaad iyo saddex iyo tobnaad. Awoodda bahalka weyn ayaa marka hore la xusaa.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:3, 4.
Markaas waxaa samada ka muuqday calaamo kale oo yaab leh; oo bal eeg, masduulaag weyn oo guduudan, oo leh toddoba madax iyo toban gees, iyo toddoba taaj oo madaxyadiisa saaran. Oo dabadiisuna waxay jiidday saddex meelood meel xiddigaha samada, oo waxayna ku tuurtay dhulka; masduulaagiina wuxuu hor istaagay naagtii foosha ku dhowayd, si uu u liqo ilmihii ay dhali lahayd isla marka uu dhasho. Muujintii 12:3, 4.
Sister White informs us that the dragon in this chapter is Satan, but in a secondary sense it is pagan Rome. Both Satan and pagan Rome typify the United Nations. The beast’s ten horns represent the evil confederacy of ten kings in Revelation seventeen. Those ten kings are represented in Revelation seventeen, and they are there identified as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. The beast is represented as having seven heads with seven crowns, marking it as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. In Daniel two they are represented as spiritual Greece, and they are also Ahab in the testimony of Mount Carmel, and they are the ten enemies of Psalms eighty-three.
Walaashay White waxay inoo sheegaysaa in masduulaagii cutubkan ku xusan uu yahay Shayddaanka, hase yeeshee macne labaad ahaan uu yahay Roomaanka jaahiliga ah. Shayddaanka iyo Roomaanka jaahiliga ahuba labaduba waxay astaan u yihiin Qaramada Midoobay. Tobanka gees ee bahalkau waxay matalaan isbahaysiga sharka ah ee tobanka boqor ee Muujintii toddoba iyo tobnaad. Tobankaas boqor waxaa lagu matalay Muujintii toddoba iyo tobnaad, halkaasna waxaa lagu aqoonsaday inay yihiin boqortooyada toddobaad ee sii sheegidda Kitaabka Quduuska ah. Bahalka waxaa lagu sawiray isagoo leh toddoba madax oo ay saaran yihiin toddoba taaj, taas oo ku calaamadaynaysa inuu yahay boqortooyada toddobaad ee sii sheegidda Kitaabka Quduuska ah. Daanyeel laba waxaa loogu matalay inay yihiin Giriigga ruuxiga ah, sidoo kalena waxay yihiin Axaab ee markhaatiga Buur Karmel, oo iyaguna waa tobanka cadow ee Sabuurrada saddex iyo siddeetan.
The second earthly power of the enemy mentioned in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, is the beast that comes out of the sea, who Sister White directly identifies as Catholicism.
Awoodda labaad ee cadowga oo dhulka jooga ee lagu sheegay Muujintii cutubyada laba iyo tobnaad iyo saddex iyo tobnaad, waa bahalka badda ka soo baxa, kaas oo Sister White si toos ah ugu aqoonsatay Kaatooligga.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:1–3.
Oo waxaan istaagay cammuudda badda dusheedii, oo waxaan arkay bahal ka soo baxaya badda, isagoo leh toddoba madax iyo toban gees, geesihiisana waxaa saarnaa toban taaj, madaxyadiisana waxaa ku qornaa magaca cayda. Bahalkii aan arkayna wuxuu u ekaa shabeel; cagihiisuna waxay ahaayeen sida cagaha orso, afkiisuna sida afka libaax; oo masduulaagiina wuxuu siiyey xooggiisii, carshigiisii, iyo amar weyn. Oo waxaan arkay mid ka mid ah madaxyadiisii oo moodda in lagu dhaawacay ilaa dhimasho; dhaawiciiisii dhimashada lahaana waa la bogsiiyey; dunidii oo dhammuna waxay la yaabtay bahalkii oo raacday. Muujintii 13:1–3.
John was standing on the seashore in verse one, and he sees a beast rise from the sea, and thereafter, he sees a beast coming up out of the earth. Sister White identifies that the time in which John saw the two beasts was 1798, for that was the year the papacy was “robbed of its strength,” thus receiving a deadly wound that would ultimately be healed.
Yaxanaa wuxuu taagnaa xeebta badda aayadda koowaad, wuxuuna arkay bahal badda ka soo baxaya; dabadeedna wuxuu arkay bahal dhulka ka soo baxaya. Walaashii White waxay caddaynaysaa in wakhtiga uu Yaxanaa arkay labadaas bahal uu ahaa 1798, waayo taasu waxay ahayd sannadkii baabanimadu “xooggeedii laga qaaday,” sidaas darteedna ay ku heshay nabar dilaa ah oo ugu dambayntii bogsan lahaa.
“At the time when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, is represented by a beast with lamblike horns. The beasts preceding it had risen from the sea; but this came up out of the earth, representing the peaceful rise of the nation which it symbolized—the United States.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.
“Waqtigii Baabasiyeedka, markii xooggiisii laga qaaday, lagu qasbay inuu ka joogsado cadaadiska, Yooxanaa wuxuu arkay awood cusub oo soo kacaysa si ay ugu celceliso codkii masduulaagga, una sii waddo isla hawshii arxan darrada iyo cayda badnayd. Awooddan, oo ah tii ugu dambaysay ee la dagaallami doonta kiniisadda iyo sharciga Ilaah, waxaa lagu matalay bahal leh geeso u eg kuwa wan yar. Bahalladii ka horreeyey waxay ka soo kaceen badda; laakiin kanu wuxuu ka soo baxay dhulka, taas oo muujinaysa koritaan nabdoon oo ummadda uu astaan u ahaa—Maraykanka.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.
John is looking backward into history when he sees the sea beast, which is the papacy. Looking forward in history, he sees the earth beast, which is the United States. This is why the beast from the sea is prophetically constructed as it is. Looking back from 1798, John first sees “seven heads and ten horns,” marking the point in history that three of the horns were plucked up to make room for the stout horn of the papacy, which spake great things.
Yooxanaa wuxuu dib ugu milicsanayaa taariikhda marka uu arko bahalka badda ka soo baxay, kaas oo ah baabanimada. Isagoo taariikhda hore u eegaya, wuxuu arkaa bahalka dhulka ka soo baxay, kaas oo ah Maraykanka. Tani waa sababta bahalka badda ka soo baxay nebiyad ahaan loogu qaabeeyey sida uu yahay. Marka dib looga eego 1798, Yooxanaa wuxuu marka hore arkaa “toddoba madax iyo toban gees,” taas oo calaamadaynaysa barta taariikhda ee saddex ka mid ah geesihii la rujiyey si meel loogu bannaysto geeskii weynaa ee baabanimada, kaas oo ku hadlay waxyaalo waaweyn.
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:19, 20.
Markaasaan garan lahaa runta bahalkii afraad, kaasoo ka duwanaa kuwii kale oo dhan, aad iyo aad u cabsanaa, oo ilkihiisu bir ahaayeen, cidiyihiisuna naxaas ahaayeen; kaasoo wax liqay, jajabiyey, oo hadhaagiina cagihiisa ku tuntay; iyo tobanka geesood ee madaxiisa ku yiil, iyo kii kale oo soo baxay, kaas oo hortiisa ay saddex ku dheceen; kaas oo ahaa geeskii indhaha lahaa, iyo af ku hadlaya waxyaalo aad u waaweyn, kaasoo muuqiisu ka sii adkaa saaxiibbadiis. Daniel 7:19, 20.
Before those three horns of the Heruli, Ostrogoths and Vandals were removed, pagan Rome was represented by “ten crowns.” Those ten crowns represent pagan Rome. Then John identifies the leopard of Greece, then the bear of Medo-Persia and then the lion of Babylon.
Ka hor intii aan la saarin saddexdaas gees ee Heruli, Ostrogoths, iyo Vandals, Roomaanka jaahilka ah waxaa lagu matalay “toban taaj.” Tobankaas taaj waxay matalaan Roomaanka jaahilka ah. Dabadeed Yooxanaa wuxuu aqoonsanayaa shabeelka Giriigga, markaas orsada Maado-Faaris, dabadeedna libaaxa Baabuloon.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Daniel 7:4–6.
Kii kowaad wuxuu la ekaa libaax, oo wuxuu lahaa baalal gorgor; waan eegayay ilaa baalashiisii la siibay, oo dhulka ayaa kor looga qaaday, waxaana lagu taagay cagaha sidii nin, qalbi binu-aadanna waa la siiyey. Oo bal eeg xayawaan kale, kii labaad, oo u ekaa orso, oo dhinac keliya ayuu isku taagay, afkiisana wuxuu ku hayay saddex feerood oo u dhexeeyey ilkihiisa; oo sidaas ayay ugu yidhaahdeen, Kac, oo hilib badan cun. Taas dabadeed waan eegay, oo bal eeg mid kale, oo u ekaa shabeel, kaasoo dhabarkiisa ku lahaa afar baal oo shimbir; xayawaankuna wuxuu kaloo lahaa afar madax; oo xukun baa la siiyey. Daanyeel 7:4–6.
There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian, and the sea beast represents the combination of all the previous pagan kingdoms of Bible prophecy. The sea beast is represented in reverse historical order, for John is looking back into history. He first saw the power that was established when the three horns were removed—the papacy. Then he saw ten horns with ten crowns—pagan Rome. Then he saw the leopard—Greece. Then he saw the bear—Medo-Persia. Then he saw the lion—Babylon. The description of the sea beast consists of elements of each of the preceding pagan kingdoms, and the description establishes that the papacy is a conglomeration of every form of paganism that has existed in biblical history. There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian. Anything that might appear as Christian in Catholicism is a counterfeit.
Ma jiro hal walba oo ka mid ah Kaatooligga oo Masiixi ah, oo bahalkii badda ka soo baxayuna wuxuu metelaa isu-geynta dhammaan boqortooyooyinkii hore ee jaahiliga ahaa ee waxsii sheegidda Kitaabka Quduuska ah. Bahalka badda ka soo baxaya waxaa loo soo bandhigay si ka soo horjeedda kala-horraynta taariikheed, waayo Yooxanaa wuxuu dib u eegayaa taariikhda. Marka hore wuxuu arkay awooddii la aasaasay markii saddexdii gees la rujiyey—baabbanimada. Dabadeed wuxuu arkay toban gees oo leh toban taaj—Roomaankii jaahiliga ahaa. Markaas wuxuu arkay shabeelkii—Giriigga. Dabadeed wuxuu arkay orsigii—Maado-Faaris. Ugu dambayntiina wuxuu arkay libaaxii—Baabuloon. Sharaxaadda bahalka badda ka soo baxaya waxay ka kooban tahay xubno ka imanaya mid kasta oo ka mid ah boqortooyooyinkii jaahiliga ahaa ee ka horreeyey, sharaxaadduna waxay caddaynaysaa in baabbanimadu tahay isku-dar ka kooban nooc kasta oo jaahilinimo ah oo ka jiray taariikhda kitaabiga ah. Ma jiro hal walba oo ka mid ah Kaatooligga oo Masiixi ah. Wax kasta oo Kaatooligga ku dhex muuqan kara inay Masiixi yihiin waa been-abuur.
At Mount Carmel, when Elijah did battle with Jezebel’s prophets and her apostate husband, Jezebel was back home in Samaria. The whore of Tyre is forgotten during the history of the earth beast with two horns. Jezebel is always hidden away, and in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen the world wonders after her, but she is not portrayed as a marvel that is wondered after in the heavens, as is the United Nations, the United States and Satan. She is back in her command center of Samaria—the city of Rome.
Buur Karmel, markii Eliyaah uu la dagaallamay nebiyadii Yesebeel iyo ninkeedii riddada galay, Yesebeel waxay ku soo hadhay gurigeedii Samaariya. Dhilladii Turos waa la illoobaa inta lagu jiro taariikhda bahalka dhulka ee labada gees leh. Yesebeel mar walba waa la qariyaa, oo Muujintii cutubyada laba iyo tobnaad iyo saddex iyo tobnaad dunidu way ka yaabtaa iyada, laakiin iyadu laguma sawirin sidii wax lala yaabo oo samooyinka laga yaabo, sida Qaramada Midoobay, Maraykanka iyo Shayddaanka. Waxay ku soo noqotay xarunteedii taliska ee Samaariya—magaalada Rooma.
The history of the earth beast is where the test of the image of the beast for the whole world is identified. That test takes place during the warfare of the first heaven. This is what we wish to consider at this point. I will substitute the United States for the word “he” in the verses we are now going to consider.
Taariikhda bahalka dhulka ayaa ah meesha lagu aqoonsado imtixaanka suuradda bahalka ee dunida oo dhan. Imtixaankaas wuxuu dhacayaa inta lagu jiro dagaalka samada kowaad. Tani waa waxa aynu doonayno in aynu halkan kaga fiirsanno. Waxaan erayga “isagu” ku beddeli doonaa “Maraykanka” aayadaha aynu hadda tixgelin doonno.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and the United States had two horns like a lamb, and the United States spake as a dragon. And the United States exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And the United States doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which the United States had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And the [United States] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And the United States causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:11–17.
Oo waxaan arkay bahal kale oo dhulka ka soo baxaya; oo Maraykankuna wuxuu lahaa laba gees oo u eg wan, Maraykankuna wuxuu u hadlay sidii masduulaagii. Oo Maraykanku wuxuu hortiisa ku adeegsadaa xoogga oo dhan ee bahalkii hore, wuxuuna ka dhigaa dhulka iyo kuwa degganba inay caabudaan bahalkii hore, kii boogtiisii dhimashada lahayd la bogsiiyey. Oo Maraykanku wuxuu sameeyaa cajaa'ibyo waaweyn, si uu dab uga soo dejiyo samada oo dhulka ugu soo dejiyo dadka hortooda, oo wuxuu khiyaaneeyaa kuwa dhulka deggan isagoo adeegsanaya mucjisooyinkaas uu Maraykanku awoodda u lahaa inuu ku sameeyo bahalka hortiisa; isagoo ku leh kuwa dhulka deggan inay u sameeyaan bahalka sanam, kaas oo dhaawicii seefta qabay oo haddana noolaa. Oo [Maraykanka] waxaa la siiyey amar uu naf ugu geliyo sanamka bahalka, si sanamka bahalku u hadlo, oo uu sidoo kale sabab ugu noqdo in la laayo inta aan caabudin sanamka bahalka. Oo Maraykanku wuxuu ku khasbaa dhammaan, kuwa yaryar iyo kuwa waaweynba, kuwa taajiriinta ah iyo kuwa saboolka ah, kuwa xorta ah iyo kuwa addoommada ah, inay calaamad ku qaataan gacantooda midig ama fooddooda; si aan ninna u iibsan ama u iibin karin, kan mooyaane kii lahaa calaamadda, ama magaca bahalka, ama tirada magiciisa. Muujintii 13:11–17.
In Revelation chapter thirteen, the dragon of pagan Rome gave the papacy three things as it placed the papacy on the throne of the earth.
Muujintii cutubka saddex iyo tobnaad, masduulaagii Roomaanka jaahiliga ahi wuxuu baadarinimada siiyey saddex waxyaalood markii uu baadarinimada ku fadhiisiyey carshiga dhulka.
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.
Oo bahalkii aan arkayna wuxuu u ekaa shabeel, cagihiisuna waxay ahaayeen sida cagaha orso, afkiisuna sida afka libaax; oo masduulaagiina wuxuu siiyey xooggiisii, carshigiisii, iyo amar weyn. Muujintii 13:2.
The ten kings who represent pagan Rome (France being the premier king of the ten as represented by Ahab) gave the papacy three things: power, seat and authority. When the emperor Constantine moved the capital from the city of Rome in the west, unto the east and made Constantinople the new capital of the Roman Empire in the year 330, pagan Rome then gave the church of Rome its “seat.”
Tobanka boqor ee matala Roomaankii jaahilka ahaa (Faransiiska oo ah boqorka ugu horreeya tobankaas sida uu Axaab u matalo) waxay baabtiisnimada siiyeen saddex waxyaalood: xoog, kursi, iyo amar. Markii boqorkii Constantine caasimaddii ka raray magaalada Rooma ee galbeedka una raray bari, oo uu Constantinople ka dhigay caasimadda cusub ee Boqortooyada Rooma sannadkii 330, markaasaa Roomaankii jaahilka ahaa siiyey kaniisadda Rooma “kursigeeda.”
When Clovis, king of the Franks (France), converted to Catholicism and began to war against the powers that had been resisting the rise of the papacy to the throne of the earth in the year 496, pagan Rome then gave the papacy its “power.”
Markii Clovis, boqorkii Faransiiska (France), uu qaatay Kaatooligga oo uu bilaabay inuu la dagaallamo quwadihii ka soo horjeeday koritaanka baabbanimada ee carshiga dunida sannadkii 496, markaas Roomaankii jaahiliga ahaa ayaa baabbanimada siiyey “xooggeeda.”
In 533, Justinian made a decree which identified the Roman church as both the head of all churches, and also as the corrector of heretics. At that point, the authority of pagan Rome had been given to the papacy.
Sannadkii 533, Justinian wuxuu soo saaray amar aqoonsanaya kaniisadda Rooma inay tahay madaxa dhammaan kaniisadaha, isla markaana ay tahay saxaheya bidcayaasha. Halkaas ayay awooddii Roomaankii jaahiliga ahayd loogu wareejiyey baabasiimada.
In verse twelve, “the [United States] exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.” The power that was exercised by the papacy is represented by Clovis, who dedicated his military and economic might unto the papacy. This is why Catholicism calls Clovis “the first born of the Catholic church,” and France the “eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” The United States will do the same dirty work for the papacy that Clovis began in 496.
Aayadda laba iyo tobnaad, “[Maraykanku] wuxuu ku dhaqmaa awooddii oo dhan ee bahalkii kowaad hortiisa.” Awooddii uu baadarigu ku dhaqmay waxaa matalaya Clovis, kaas oo quwaddiisii ciidan iyo dhaqaale u hibeeyey baadarinimada. Tani waa sababta Kaatooliggu ugu yeedho Clovis “wiilka curadka ah ee kaniisadda Kaatooligga,” Faransiiskana “gabadha curadda ah ee kaniisadda Kaatooligga.” Maraykanku wuxuu baadarinimada u qaban doonaa isla hawsha wasakhda ah ee Clovis bilaabay sannadkii 496.
The power of the United States will be employed to cause “the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” The United States will employ its military and economic strength to cause the entire world to accept Sunday as a day of rest. The whore of Tyre will first commit fornication with the earth beast at the soon coming Sunday law, and then she will go forth and commit fornication with all the other kings of the earth.
Awoodda Maraykanka waxaa loo adeegsan doonaa in lagu qasbo “dhulka iyo kuwa degganba inay caabudaan bahalkii hore, kaas oo nabar-kiisii dhimashada lahaa la bogsiiyey.” Maraykanku wuxuu adeegsan doonaa xooggiisa ciidan iyo dhaqaale si uu dunida oo dhan ugu qasbo inay aqbasho Axadda inay tahay maalin nasasho. Naagta dhillada ah ee Turos waxay marka hore sinaysi la geli doontaa bahalka dhulka marka sharciga Axadda ee dhowaan imanaya la soo saaro, dabadeedna way bixi doontaa oo sinaysi bay la geli doontaa boqorrada kale oo dhan ee dhulka.
In verse thirteen, “the [United States] doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Fire represents an unholy message. Tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost represented a holy message that was accompanied with the ability to convey that message to the entire world. The fire that is brought down out of heaven by the United States will also impact every nation, and every tongue.
Aayadda saddex iyo tobnaad, “[Maraykanku] wuxuu sameeyaa yaabab waaweyn, si uu dab samada uga soo dejiyo dhulka iyadoo dadku arkayaan.” Dabku wuxuu astaan u yahay farriin aan quduus ahayn. Afaf dab ah oo ka muuqday maalintii Bentakostiga waxay astaan u ahaayeen farriin quduus ah oo ay wehelinaysay awoodda lagu gaadhsiinayo farriintaas dunida oo dhan. Dabkan samada laga soo dejinayo ee uu keeno Maraykanku isaguna wuxuu saamayn ku yeelan doonaa quruun kasta iyo af kasta.
In verse fourteen, the United States deceives “them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which the [United States] had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” The deception that is employed to deceive the world by the United States is represented by the fire that came down from heaven in the previous verse. The fire from heaven produces miracles that are employed by the United States to command the world to establish a one-world government that consists of the combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship.
Aayadda afar iyo tobnaad, Maraykanku wuxuu khiyaaneeyaa “kuwa dhulka deggan isagoo adeegsanaya mucjisooyinkaas uu [Maraykanku] awood u lahaa inuu ku sameeyo bahalka hortiisa; isagoo ku leh kuwa dhulka deggan inay u sameeyaan bahalka suurad, kaas oo seef lagu dhaawacay, haddana noolaa.” Khiyaanada loo adeegsado in dunida lagu khiyaaneeyo iyadoo loo marayo Maraykanka waxaa lagu matalay dabkii samada ka soo degay ee ku xusan aayaddii ka horraysay. Dabka samada ka yimaadaa wuxuu dhaliyaa mucjisooyin uu Maraykanku u adeegsado inuu dunida ku amro inay dhisto dowlad caalami ah oo keliya, taas oo ka kooban isku darka kaniisadda iyo dawladda, iyadoo kaniisaddu ay gacanta ku hayso xiriirkaas.
This is what the relationship of Ahab and Jezebel represented when Elijah was raised up. Elijah’s battle at Mount Carmel was fulfilled in the beginning of the United States during the movement of the first angel from 1840 to 1844, for the purpose of distinguishing the true prophet of Protestantism from all of the false prophets of Protestantism.
Tani waa waxa uu matalayey xiriirka Axaab iyo Yesebeel markii Eliiyaah la kiciyey. Dagaalkii Eliiyaah ee Buur Karmel wuxuu rumoobay bilowgii Maraykanka intii lagu jiray dhaqdhaqaaqii malaa’igta kowaad laga bilaabo 1840 ilaa 1844, ujeeddaduna ahayd in la kala saaro nebiga runta ah ee Protestantism-ka iyo dhammaan nebiyada beenta ah ee Protestantism-ka.
It is fulfilled again at the ending of the United States, during the test of the formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, and ends at the soon-coming Sunday law.
Waxa mar kale la oofinayaa dhammaadka Maraykanka, intii lagu jiray tijaabada samaysanka suuradda bahalka oo bilaabatay Sebtembar 11, 2001, kuna dhammaanaysa sharciga Axadda ee dhowaan iman doona.
Elijah’s perfect fulfillment takes place before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, which is the seven last plagues. Therefore, Mount Carmel, Elijah, Ahab and Jezebel are represented in the work of the United States forcing planet earth to accept the one-world government of the United Nations that is ruled over by the Catholic Church. The United States accomplishes this act through its military might, its economic strength and the corrupted hypnotic communications that it directs and controls, represented by what is called the “information super highway” of the worldwide web.
Dhammaystirka qumman ee Eliyaah wuxuu dhacayaa ka hor maalinta weyn oo laga cabsado ee Rabbiga, taas oo ah toddobada belaayo ee ugu dambaysa. Sidaas daraaddeed, Buur Karmel, Eliyaah, Axaab iyo Yezebeel waxaa lagu matalaa hawsha Maraykanka ee ku qasbaysa meeraha dunida inuu aqbalo dawlad hal-adduun ah oo Qaramada Midoobay ah taas oo Kaniisadda Katooligu ka taliso. Maraykanku falkaas wuxuu ku fuliyaa awooddiisa ciidan, xooggiisa dhaqaale, iyo isgaadhsiinta la musuqmaasuqay ee maankadabinta ah ee uu hago oo xukumo, taas oo lagu matalay waxa loo yaqaan “jidka weyn ee xogta” ee shabakadda caalamiga ah.
In verse fifteen, we are informed that “the [United States] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” The threat of death by the military might of the United States, then representing the premier king of the United Nations, empowers the one-world government of the United Nations to speak. The action of speaking is accomplished through a legislative and judicial authority. The legislative branch of the United Nations is in New York and the judicial branch of the United Nations is in The Hague, Netherlands. The Hague represents the Old World and New York the New World. Both the United States and the Netherlands have past histories where they stood out as premier defenders of liberty and freedom, but both end their respective histories—speaking as a dragon.
Aayadda shan iyo tobnaad waxaa naloo sheegay in “uu [Maraykanku] awood u lahaa inuu nolol siiyo ekaanta bahalka, si ekaanta bahalku ay u hadasho, oo weliba ay sababto in intii aan caabudin ekaanta bahalka la dilo.” Hanjabaadda dhimashada ee ka imanaysa awoodda ciidan ee Maraykanka, isaga oo markaas matalaya boqorka ugu sarreeya ee Qaramada Midoobay, ayaa awood siisa dawladda hal-aduunka ah ee Qaramada Midoobay inay hadasho. Ficilka hadalku waxa lagu fuliyaa awood sharci-dejin iyo garsoor. Laanta sharci-dejinta ee Qaramada Midoobay waxay ku taallaa New York, laanta garsoorkuna waxay ku taallaa The Hague, Netherlands. The Hague waxay matalaysaa Dunidii Hore, New York-na Dunida Cusub. Labadaba Maraykanka iyo Netherlands waxay leeyihiin taariikho hore oo ay kaga dhex muuqdeen iyagoo ah difaacayaal hormuud u ah xorriyadda iyo madaxbannaanida, hase yeeshee labaduba waxay ku dhammeeyaan taariikhdooda gaarka ah—iyagoo u hadlaya sida masduulaagii.
“As the Sabbath has become the special point of controversy throughout Christendom, and religious and secular authorities have combined to enforce the observance of the Sunday, the persistent refusal of a small minority to yield to the popular demand will make them objects of universal execration. . .. and a decree will finally be issued against those who hallow the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, denouncing them as deserving of the severest punishment and giving the people liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death. Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.
“Maaddaama Sabtigu uu noqday qodobka gaarka ah ee muranka ka taagan dunida Masiixiyadda oo dhan, iyo maaddaama maamullada diimeed iyo kuwa madaniga ahi ay isu bahaysteen inay dhaqangeliyaan dhawrista Axadda, diidmada joogtada ah ee koox yar oo tiro ahaan laga badan yahay ay u diiddan yihiin inay u hoggaansamaan dalabka dadweynaha waxay ka dhigi doontaa kuwo nacayb caalami ah lagu beegsado.... ugu dambayntiina waxaa la soo saari doonaa amar ka gees ah kuwa quduus ka dhiga Sabtida amarka afraad, iyadoo lagu cambaareynayo inay mudan yihiin ciqaabta ugu daran, laguna siinayo dadka xorriyad ay, wakhti cayiman dabadeed, ku dilaan. Kaatooligga Rooma ee Dunidii Hore iyo Protestantnimada riddowday ee Dunida Cusubba waxay mari doonaan jid la mid ah oo ka gees ah kuwa maamuusa dhammaan amarrada Ilaah.”
“The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress described by the prophet as the time of Jacob’s trouble.” The Great Controversy, 615, 616.
“Dadka Ilaah markaas waxaa lagu tuuri doonaa muuqaaladaas silica iyo cidhiidhiga ah ee nebigu ku tilmaamay wakhtigii dhibaatada Yacquub.” Murankii Weynaa, 615, 616.
In verse sixteen and seventeen, after the image of the beast has been set up and empowered to speak, the “[United States] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Aayadda lix iyo tobnaad iyo toddoba iyo tobnaad, ka dib markii sanamkii bahalka la taagay oo la siiyey awood uu ku hadlo, “[Maraykanku] wuxuu ka dhigayaa dhammaan, kuwa yaryar iyo kuwa waaweynba, kuwa taajiriinta ah iyo kuwa saboolka ah, kuwa xorta ah iyo kuwa addoommada ah, inay calaamad ku qaataan gacantooda midig ama fooddooda: si aan ninna u iibsan ama u iibin karin, kan haysta calaamadda mooyaane, ama magaca bahalka, ama tirada magiciisa.”
The formation of the image of the beast is the test that precedes the test of the mark of the beast. If we do not pass the test that is represented by the formation of the image of the beast, we will fail the test of the mark of the beast. They are two different tests, and they are two different types of tests.
Samaysanka suuradda bahalka waa imtixaanka ka horreeya imtixaanka calaamadda bahalka. Haddii aynaan ka gudbin imtixaanka uu metelo samaysanka suuradda bahalka, waxaynu ku dhici doonnaa imtixaanka calaamadda bahalka. Waa laba imtixaan oo kala duwan, waana laba nooc oo imtixaan ah oo kala duwan.
The formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, is the prophetic warning that the close of probation is about to take place. It is the Elijah message that identifies that Mount Carmel is on the near horizon, and that God’s people need to secure the oil of character, the oil of the Holy Spirit and the oil of the message of the Midnight Cry before the final call is made. They need to awaken, so that when Elijah asks them, “How long halt ye between two opinions?”—they will not be speechless, for to be speechless then is to receive the mark of the beast. The image of the beast test represents the work of understanding the message that announces the close of the judgment, just as the message of the Millerites announced the opening of the judgment.
Samaysanka suuradda bahalka oo bilaabatay Sebtembar 11, 2001, waa digniinta nebiyadeed ee muujinaysa in xidhitaanka nimcadu uu ku dhow yahay inuu dhaco. Waa farriinta Eliiyaah ee aqoonsanaysa in Buur Karmel ay ka muuqato cirifka dhow, iyo in dadka Ilaah ay u baahan yihiin inay hubsadaan saliidda dabeecadda, saliidda Ruuxa Quduuska ah, iyo saliidda farriinta Qaylada Saqda-dhexe ka hor inta aan baaqa ugu dambeeya la jeedin. Waxay u baahan yihiin inay toosaan, si marka Eliiyaah uu weydiiyo, “Ilaa goormaad laba ra’yi dhexdooda ku kala liicaysaan?”—aysan hadal la’aan u noqon; waayo, hadal la’aan inay markaas noqdaan waa inay helaan astaanta bahalka. Imtixaanka suuradda bahalku wuxuu metelaa hawsha fahamka farriinta ku dhawaaqaysa xidhitaanka xukunka, sida ay farriintii Milleriyiintu ugu dhawaaqday furitaanka xukunka.
The mark of the beast test, involves no choice, for it contains no element of probationary time. It is a point in time, not a period of time. It is a crisis, and therefore it is a litmus test that will identify the character of those Israelites that have been summoned to Mount Carmel by Ahab at the Sunday law. They will then demonstrate the character that they have developed during the previous period of time, prophetically called the image of the beast test.
Imtixaanka calaamadda bahalka kuma jiro doorasho, waayo ma laha wax qayb ah oo ka mid ah wakhtiga tijaabada. Waa hal dhibic oo wakhti ah, ee ma aha muddo wakhti ah. Waa dhibaato culus, sidaas darteedna waa imtixaan kala sooc ah oo muujin doona dabeecadda reer binu Israa’iil ee Axaab ugu yeedhay Buur Karmel xilligii sharciga Axadda. Markaasay waxay muujin doonaan dabeecaddii ay horay u sameysteen muddadii wakhtiga ee ka horraysay, taas oo si nebiyaysan loogu yeedhay imtixaanka sawirka bahalka.
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:7–15.
Sidaas daraaddeed (sida Ruuxa Quduuska ahi u leeyahay, Maanta haddaydaan codkiisa maqli doonin, Qalbiyadiinna ha adkaynina, sidii xanaaqii lagu kiciyey oo kale, maalintii jirrabaadda ee cidlada; markii awowayaashiin i jirrabeen, i tijaabiyeen, oo afartan sannadood shuqulladaydii arkeen. Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan qarnigaas uga caloolxumaaday, oo idhi, Had iyo goor qalbigooda ayay ku ambadaan; jidadkaygana ma ay aqoon. Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan anigoo cadhaysan ku dhaartay, Nasashadayda ma geli doonaan.) Digtoonaada, walaalayaalow, inaan midkiinna laga helin qalbi shar leh oo aan rumaysad lahayn, oo Ilaaha nool laga weecdo. Laakiin maalin walba isdhiirrigeliya, intii lagu magacaabo Maanta; yaan midkiinna lagu adkayn khiyaanada dembiga. Waayo, waxaynu noqonnay kuwa Masiixa wax la qaybsada, haddaynu bilowgii kalsoonaanteenna ku adkaysanno ilaa dhammaadka; intii la leeyahay, Maanta haddaydaan codkiisa maqli doonin, qalbiyadiinna ha adkaynina, sidii xanaaqii lagu kiciyey oo kale. Cibraaniyada 3:7–15.
