It has been established upon several witnesses that in history and in prophecy Rome always comes up eighth and is of the seven. The prophetic riddle of this symbol is part of what the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals just before the close of probation. Christ never changes, and in the First and Great Disappointments of Millerite history, He revealed a truth which explained the mystery of the disappointment.
Geus ditetepkeun ku sababaraha saksi yén dina sajarah jeung dina nubuat, Roma salawasna mucunghul minangka nu kadalapan sarta kaasup kana anu tujuh. Tatarucingan nubuat tina lambang ieu mangrupa bagian tina naon anu ku Singa ti kaom Yuda dibuka segelna pas saméméh panutupan masa kasempetan. Kristus teu kungsi robah, sarta dina Kaceuceub Gedé Nu Kahiji jeung Nu Agung dina sajarah Millerit, Anjeunna ngungkabkeun hiji bebeneran anu ngajelaskeun misteri tina kaceuceub éta.
After the First Disappointment in Millerite history, He removed His hand from a mistake in some of the figures represented upon the 1843 chart. The mistake represented the prophetic misunderstanding that produced the Disappointment. The Millerites were ultimately led to a series of understandings, which firmly established the starting date of the twenty-three hundred days. With a firm starting point, that was primarily based upon the date of the cross, they then saw the same prophetic evidence that they had been employing to identify 1843, actually identified not only 1844, but the very day of October 22, 1844.
Sanggeus Kuciwa Kahiji dina sajarah Millerite, Anjeunna nyabut panangan-Na tina hiji kasalahan dina sabagian angka anu digambarkeun dina bagan 1843. Éta kasalahan ngagambarkeun salah paham nubuat anu ngahasilkeun éta Kuciwa. Ahirna kaum Millerite ditungtun kana sawatara pamahaman, anu pageuh netepkeun tanggal mimiti tina dua rébu tilu ratus poé.

After the second and Great Disappointment, the Lord once again revealed a truth which answered all the prophetic dilemmas created by their incorrect proclamation that October 22, 1844 was the Second Coming of Christ. The Lord opened the subject of the Sanctuary, and its connected truths, and the Great Disappointment was explained.
Sanggeus Kuciwa anu kadua sarta anu gedé, Gusti sakali deui nganyatakeun hiji bebeneran anu ngajawab sakabéh pasualan profétis anu timbul ku sabab maranéhna salah ngumumkeun yén 22 Oktober 1844 téh nyaéta Kadatangan Kristus anu Kadua. Gusti muka poko ngeunaan Bait Suci, jeung bebeneran-bebeneran anu patalina jeung éta, sarta Kuciwa Gedé téh dipedar.
“As a people, we should be earnest students of prophecy; we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in 1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there performing the closing work of his priestly office, in fulfillment of the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’
“Salaku hiji umat, urang kudu jadi pameget nubuat anu sajati; urang henteu kudu eureun nepi ka urang jadi ngarti kalayan cerdas ngeunaan poko pangajaran Bait Suci, anu diungkabkeun dina titingalian Daniel jeung Yohanes.

“Our faith in reference to the messages of the first, second, and third angels was correct. The great way-marks we have passed are immovable. Although the hosts of hell may try to tear them from their foundation, and triumph in the thought that they have succeeded, yet they do not succeed. These pillars of truth stand firm as the eternal hills, unmoved by all the efforts of men combined with those of Satan and his host. We can learn much, and should be constantly searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so. God’s people are now to have their eyes fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going forward,—where he is interceding for his people.” Review and Herald, November 27, 1883.
“Kapercayaan urang dina hubunganana jeung amanat malaikat kahiji, kadua, jeung katilu téh leres. Tanda-tanda gedé anu ku urang geus kaliwatan téh teu bisa dipindahkeun. Sanajan bala-bala naraka bisa waé narékahan pikeun ngararagkeun éta tanda-tanda tina pondasina, sarta ngararasa unggul dina pikiran yén maranéhna geus hasil, tapi maranéhna henteu hasil.

The disappointment of the disciples at the crucifixion was based upon an incorrect understanding of the kingdom which Christ was to establish at the cross. John the Baptist and the apostle Paul’s ministries included the work of identifying that the dispensation of literal Israel and the literal earthly sanctuary had transitioned unto spiritual Israel and the spiritual heavenly sanctuary. The Lion of the tribe of Judah always explains the disappointment to the “wise.” The explanation of the prophetic riddle of Rome being “the eighth, but is of the seven”, is part of the work the Lion of Judah is accomplishing to explain the disappointment of July 18, 2020.
Kakeuheul murid-murid dina waktu panyaliban dumasar kana pamahaman anu henteu leres ngeunaan karajaan anu baris diadegkeun ku Kristus dina salib.

The Millerites saw Rome as the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and they saw the distinction between paganism and papalism, but could not see papal Rome as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Shortly after 1844, the pioneers saw that the United States was the next kingdom of Bible prophecy.
Urang Millerite ningali Roma minangka karajaan kaopat dina nubuat Kitab Suci, sarta maranéhna ningali bédana antara paganisme jeung kapapaan, tapi teu bisa ningali Roma kapapaan minangka karajaan kalima dina nubuat Kitab Suci. Teu lila sanggeus 1844, para panaratas ningali yén Amérika Sarikat téh karajaan salajengna dina nubuat Kitab Suci.
That recognition is represented upon the 1850 pioneer chart, but their ability to recognize the full illustration of the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, as represented in Revelation chapter seventeen, was beyond their ability to comprehend, for they began to wander in the wilderness of Laodicea after their rejection of the “seven times” in 1863.
Pangaweruh éta kagambarkeun dina bagan panaratas taun 1850, tapi kamampuhan maranéhna pikeun ngawanoh gambaran lengkep ngeunaan karajaan-karajaan dina nubuat Alkitab, sakumaha dipidangkeun dina Wahyu pasal tujuh welas, ngaleuwihan kamampuhan maranéhna pikeun ngartosna, sabab maranéhna mimiti ngumbara di padang gurun Laodikea sanggeus maranéhna nampik “tujuh kali” dina taun 1863.
“The history of ancient Israel is a striking illustration of the past experience of the Adventist body. God led His people in the advent movement, even as He led the children of Israel from Egypt. In the great disappointment their faith was tested as was that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea. Had they still trusted to the guiding hand that had been with them in their past experience, they would have seen the salvation of God. If all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts. A flood of light would have been shed upon the world. Years ago the inhabitants of the earth would have been warned, the closing work completed, and Christ would have come for the redemption of His people.
“Sajarah Israél baheula téh mangrupa gambaran anu kacida ngébréhkeunana ngeunaan pangalaman mangsa kaliwat tina golongan Advent. Allah mingpin umat-Na dina gerakan Advent, sakumaha Anjeunna mingpin bani Israél kaluar ti Mesir. Dina kuciwa anu gedé, iman maranéhna diuji, sakumaha iman urang Ibrani di Laut Beureum. Lamun maranéhna tetep ngandel kana panangan pamingpin anu geus nyarengan maranéhna dina pangalaman maranéhna baheula, tangtu maranéhna bakal ningali kasalametan ti Allah. Lamun sakumna anu geus gawé babarengan dina ieu pagawean dina taun 1844 narima talatah malaikat katilu sarta ngawartakeunana dina kakawasaan Roh Suci, Gusti tangtu bakal damel kalawan kawasa ngaliwatan usaha maranéhna.

“It was not the will of God that Israel should wander forty years in the wilderness; He desired to lead them directly to the land of Canaan and establish them there, a holy, happy people. But ‘they could not enter in because of unbelief.’ Hebrews 3:19. Because of their backsliding and apostasy they perished in the desert, and others were raised up to enter the Promised Land. In like manner, it was not the will of God that the coming of Christ should be so long delayed and His people should remain so many years in this world of sin and sorrow. But unbelief separated them from God. As they refused to do the work which He had appointed them, others were raised up to proclaim the message. In mercy to the world, Jesus delays His coming, that sinners may have an opportunity to hear the warning and find in Him a shelter before the wrath of God shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 458.
“Teu jadi pangersa Allah yén Israél kudu ngumbara opat puluh taun di padang gurun; Anjeunna mikahayang mingpin maranéhna langsung ka tanah Kanaan sarta netepkeun maranéhna di dinya minangka hiji bangsa anu suci tur bagja. Tapi, ‘maranehna teu bisa asup ku sabab teu percaya.’ Ibrani 3:19. Ku sabab panyimpangan jeung murtadna, maranéhna binasa di gurun keusik, sarta anu séjén dihudangkeun pikeun asup ka Tanah Jangji. Kitu deui, lain pangersa Allah yén kadatangan Kristus kudu jadi salila kitu ditunda sarta umat-Na kudu tetep mangtaun-taun di ieu dunya dosa jeung kasedih.

James and Ellen White both identified that the movement had transitioned into the movement of Laodicea in 1856, and in the previous passage she identifies that “if all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts.” Then she says, “In like manner,” the “backsliding and apostasy” that ancient Israel manifested, caused ancient Israel to “perish in the desert.” The passage is identifying that Laodicean Adventism began to wander in the wilderness in the time period when those who had proclaimed the message of the Midnight Cry were still alive.

Today the theologians (the learned) identify various applications for Revelation chapter seventeen, that are either derived from the methodology of futurism that was invented by the Jesuits, or the corrupted theological practices of apostate Protestantism. The symbols of Revelation seventeen, are very simple. We have identified the necessary symbols, so we will return to the kingdoms represented there and align them with the kingdoms of Daniel chapter two, for Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.
Dinten ieu para teolog (anu sarjana) ngidentipikasi rupa-rupa panerapan pikeun Wahyu pasal tujuh welas, anu boh asalna tina metodologi futurisme anu diciptakeun ku kaum Yésuit, boh tina prak-prakan teologis anu geus korup ti Protestanisme nu murtad.

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:10–12.
Jeung aya tujuh raja: lima geus gugur, saurang aya, jeung nu saurang deui tacan datang; sarta lamun manéhna datang, manéhna kudu tetep sakeudeung. Jeung sato galak anu kungsi aya, jeung ayeuna teu aya, nya éta manéhna anu kadalapan, sarta asalna ti anu tujuh, jeung lebet kana karuksakan. Jeung sapuluh tanduk anu ku maneh tingali téh sapuluh raja, anu can narima karajaan; tapi narima kakawasaan jadi raja salila sajam babarengan jeung sato galak. Wahyu 17:10–12.
In verse three, John was spiritually conveyed to 1798. At that vantage point in history, he was told that there were five kingdoms that had already fallen. Those kingdoms were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, pagan Rome and papal Rome. William Miller could not unravel this passage in chapter seventeen, for he could not recognize that papal Rome was a distinct kingdom from pagan Rome. Yet the sequence is addressed in chapters twelve and thirteen of Revelation, for the dragon in chapter twelve represented pagan Rome, the beast that came from the sea in chapter thirteen was the papacy and the earth beast is the United States. Sister White identifies all three of these beasts as the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. In providing her testimony she identifies the sequence of the kingdoms, and the sequence agrees with the application we are making of Revelation seventeen.
Dina ayat katilu, Yohanes sacara rohani dibawa ka taun 1798. Dina titik paningal éta dina sajarah, anjeunna dipaparin terang yén geus aya lima karajaan anu rubuh. Karajaan-karajaan éta nyaéta Babul, Mado-Pérsia, Yunani, Roma kapir, jeung Roma kapapaan.

“Under the symbols of a great red dragon, a leopard-like beast, and a beast with lamblike horns, the earthly governments which would especially engage in trampling upon God’s law and persecuting His people, were presented to John. The war is carried on till the close of time. The people of God, symbolized by a holy woman and her children, were represented as greatly in the minority. In the last days only a remnant still existed. Of these John speaks as they ‘which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.’
“Dina lambang-lambang naga beureum anu gedé, sato galak siga macan tutul, jeung sato galak anu boga tanduk siga anak domba, pamaréntahan-pamaréntahan di bumi anu hususna bakal kalibet dina ngalalaworakeun hukum Allah sarta nganiaya umat-Na, dipidangkeun ka Yohanes. Perang éta diteruskeun nepi ka ahir jaman. Umat Allah, anu dilambangkeun ku hiji awéwé suci jeung barudakna, dipidangkeun minangka anu kacida saeutikna. Dina poé-poé panungtungan ngan kari sakelompok sésa anu masih aya. Ngeunaan ieu Yohanes nyebutkeun yén maranéhna téh ‘anu narurutan parentah-parentah Allah, jeung nyepeng kasaksian Yesus Kristus.’”
“Through paganism, and then through the Papacy, Satan exerted his power for many centuries in an effort to blot from the earth God’s faithful witnesses. Pagans and papists were actuated by the same dragon spirit. They differed only in that the Papacy, making a pretense of serving God, was the more dangerous and cruel foe. Through the agency of Romanism, Satan took the world captive. The professed church of God was swept into the ranks of this delusion, and for more than a thousand years the people of God suffered under the dragon’s ire. And 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, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.
“Ngaliwatan kapirisme, tuluy ngaliwatan Kapapaan, Sétan ngajalankeun kakawasaanana salila mangabad-abad dina usaha mupus tina bumi saksi-saksi Allah anu satia. Kaum kapir jeung kaum papis digerakkeun ku sumanget naga anu sarua. Maranéhna béda ngan dina hal ieu: yén Kapapaan, bari pura-pura ngaladénan Allah, jadi musuh anu leuwih bahaya jeung leuwih kejem. Ngaliwatan agénsi Romanisme, Sétan nyekel dunya jadi tawanan. Garéja Allah anu ngaku-ngaku éta kaséréd kana barisan kasasaran ieu, sarta salila leuwih ti sarébu taun umat Allah nandangan amarah naga. Jeung nalika Kapapaan, sanggeus dirampas kakuatanana, kapaksa ngeureunkeun panganiayaan, Yohanes ningali hiji kakawasaan anyar mucunghul pikeun ngaguar sora naga, sarta nuluykeun pagawéan anu sarua kejemna jeung ngahujat. Kakawasaan ieu, anu pangahirna nu baris merangan garéja jeung hukum Allah, dilambangkeun ku hiji sato galak anu boga tanduk siga anak domba.”
“But the stern tracing of the prophetic pencil reveals a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, and that “he 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.” Thus Protestantism follows in the steps of the Papacy.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
“Tapi gurat tegas tina patlot nubuat nembongkeun hiji parobahan dina ieu pamandangan anu tengtrem. Sasatoan anu miboga tanduk siga anak domba nyarita ku sora naga, sarta ‘ngalaksanakeun sakabéh kakawasaan sasatoan anu kahiji di payuneunana.’ Nubuat nétélakeun yén manéhna bakal nyebut ka maranéhna anu cicing di bumi supaya maranéhna nyieun hiji patung pikeun sasatoan éta, sarta yén ‘manéhna ngabalukarkeun sakabéh jalma, boh nu leutik boh nu gedé, nu beunghar boh nu miskin, nu merdéka boh nu hamba, narima hiji tanda dina leungeun katuhuna, atawa dina tarangna; sarta supaya teu aya saurang ogé anu bisa meuli atawa ngajual, iwal jalma anu miboga éta tanda, atawa ngaran sasatoan éta, atawa bilangan ngaranna.’ Ku kituna Protestantisme nuturkeun tapak-lampah Kapapaan.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
In the first paragraph of the last passage, Sister White identifies pagan Rome, papal Rome and the United States as “earthly governments.” In the second paragraph she identifies that the governments were sequential when she says, “through paganism, and then through the Papacy,” and “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.” She does not stop there though, for in the third paragraph she identifies that the United States was to force another kingdom upon the entire world. She says, “The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast.”
Dina paragraf kahiji tina petikan panungtung, Sister White nangtukeun Roma pagan, Roma kapapaan, jeung Amérika Sarikat minangka “pamaréntahan-pamaréntahan dunya.” Dina paragraf kadua anjeunna nangtukeun yén pamaréntahan-pamaréntahan éta lumangsung sacara silih susul nalika anjeunna nyebut, “ngaliwatan paganisme, tuluy ngaliwatan Kapapaan,” sarta “nalika Kapapaan, sanggeus dirampas kakuatanana, kapaksa ngeureunkeun panganiaya, Yohanes ningali hiji kakawasaan anyar mucunghul pikeun ngaguar deui sora naga, sarta neruskeun pagawean anu sarua bengis jeung ngahujat.” Sanajan kitu anjeunna henteu eureun nepi ka dinya, sabab dina paragraf katilu anjeunna nangtukeun yén Amérika Sarikat baris maksa karajaan séjén ka sakuliah dunya.

Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify pagan Rome, papal Rome, the United States and the world image of the beast, that is set up by the United States. The definition of the “image of the beast” is the combination of Church and State, and for the entire world to set up an image of the beast, by definition it identifies that in the last days, a one-world government will be forced upon the entire earth. The kingdom will consist of a State and a Church, with the Church ruling over the relationship. Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify four sequential kingdoms, and those same kingdoms are represented in chapter seventeen, and also in Daniel chapter two.
Wahyu pasal dua welas jeung tilu welas ngécéskeun Roma pagan, Roma kapapaan, Amérika Sarikat, jeung gambar sato galak pikeun sakuliah dunya, anu diadegkeun ku Amérika Sarikat.

In 1798, John saw the first five kingdoms of Bible prophecy had already fallen, and that in 1798, one kingdom then existed. The kingdom of Bible prophecy that began in 1798, was the earth beast of Revelation thirteen, that began as a lamb, but ends up speaking as a dragon. The United States is the two-horned sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, that follows the fifth kingdom of spiritual Babylon that had received a deadly wound. The fifth kingdom was spiritual Babylon, who had been typified by the first kingdom of literal Babylon. The sixth kingdom with two horns had been typified by the two arms of silver.
Dina taun 1798, Yohanes ningali yén lima karajaan kahiji dina nubuat Alkitab geus ragrag, sarta yén dina taun 1798 aya hiji karajaan anu harita keur aya. Karajaan dina nubuat Alkitab anu mimiti dina taun 1798 téh nyaéta sato galak bumi dina Wahyu tilu welas, anu mimiti jadi anak domba, tapi tungtungna nyarita siga naga. Amérika Sarikat nyaéta karajaan kagenep dina nubuat Alkitab anu miboga dua tanduk, anu nuturkeun karajaan kalima, nyaéta Babul rohani, anu geus narima tatu anu ngabahayakeun pati. Karajaan kalima téh nyaéta Babul rohani, anu geus dilambangkeun ku karajaan kahiji, nyaéta Babul sacara harfiah. Karajaan kagenep anu miboga dua tanduk geus dilambangkeun ku dua leungeun tina pérak.
In 1798, there was to be a kingdom that was yet in the future, for in 1798, “the other is not yet come.” When that seventh kingdom came into history, it would only “continue a short space.” The fifth kingdom received a deadly wound, the sixth kingdom had two horns and the seventh kingdom only continues for a brief period of time. The context of the passage identified that the seventh kingdom is represented by the “ten kings”, for when the “ten kings” become a kingdom, they only rule for “one hour,” and one “hour” is a short “space.” When the “ten kings” do reign, they rule together for the “one hour” with the beast.
Dina taun 1798, bakal aya hiji karajaan anu can datang, sabab dina taun 1798, “anu séjén can datang.” Nalika karajaan katujuh éta muncul dina sajarah, éta ngan bakal “terus sakeudeung wungkul.” Karajaan kalima narima tatu anu mawa pati, karajaan kagenep miboga dua tanduk, jeung karajaan katujuh ngan lumangsung salila waktu anu pondok. Kontéks petikan éta nétélakeun yén karajaan katujuh dilambangkeun ku “sapuluh raja”, sabab nalika “sapuluh raja” éta jadi hiji karajaan, maranéhna ngan maréntah salila “sajam,” jeung hiji “jam” téh mangrupa “sawatara waktu” anu pondok. Nalika “sapuluh raja” éta maréntah, maranéhna maréntah babarengan salila “sajam” éta jeung sato galak.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:12.
Jeung sapuluh tanduk anu ku anjeun katingali téh nyaéta sapuluh raja, anu can acan narima karajaan; tapi maranéhna narima kakawasaan minangka raja-raja salila sajam babarengan jeung éta sato galak. Wahyu 17:12.
The “ten horns” are the seventh kingdom, but they rule together with the beast for “one hour”. The “one hour” is the period of the Sunday law crisis that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. They agree to rule with the beast, for they are forced to do so by the primary king, which is the United States. Sister White in the passage we just cited, identifies that the last power to persecute God’s people is the earth beast.

“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, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
“Yohanes ningali hiji kakawasaan anyar mucunghul pikeun nyuarakeun deui sora naga, sarta nuluykeun pagawean anu sarua kejemna jeung pinuh ku hujat. Kakawasaan ieu, anu pangahirna anu bakal merangan gareja jeung hukum Allah, dilambangkeun ku hiji sato galak anu tandukna siga domba.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.
The last kingdom of Bible prophecy is brought about through the deception accomplished by the United States, as the False Prophet. The kingdom began as a lamb in 1798, but in the last days it forces the world to accept the worldwide image of the beast, which is by definition the combination of a Church and a State with the Church in control of the relationship. That kingdom is also identified as a three-fold union.
Karajaan panungtung tina nubuat Alkitab diayakeun ngaliwatan panipuan anu dilaksanakeun ku Amérika Sarikat, minangka Nabi Palsu. Karajaan éta mimiti némbongan minangka anak domba dina taun 1798, tapi dina poé-poé panungtung éta maksa dunya pikeun narima gambar sato galak anu sifatna sadunya, anu ku harti dasarna mangrupa gabungan antara Garéja jeung Nagara kalayan Garéja nu ngawasaan éta hubungan. Karajaan éta ogé diidéntifikasi minangka hiji pasatuan tilu rangkep.
“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.
“Kaum Protestan di Amérika Sarikat bakal jadi nu panghareupna dina ngulurkeun leungeunna ngalangkungan jurang pikeun nyekel leungeun Spiritualitasme; maranéhna bakal nyorang ngaliwatan teuingna jurang pikeun silihgandeng jeung kakawasaan Roma; sarta dina pangaruh ieu paguyuban tilu rangkep, nagara ieu bakal nuturkeun tapak-tapak Roma dina nginjak-nginjak hak-hak nurani.” The Great Controversy, 588.
The threefold union is the union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, which in Revelation sixteen go forth to the kings of the earth and lead the world to Armageddon.
Pasamuan anu tilu rupa téh nyaéta pasamuan antara naga, sato galak, jeung nabi palsu, anu dina Wahyu genep welas indit ka raja-raja di bumi sarta mingpin dunya ka Armagedon.
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. Revelation 16:13, 14.
Sarta kuring ningali tilu roh najis kawas bangkong kaluar tina sungut naga, jeung tina sungut sato galak, jeung tina sungut nabi palsu. Sabab maranéhna téh roh-roh setan, anu nyieun mujijat, anu indit ka raja-raja di bumi jeung ka sakuliah dunya, pikeun ngumpulkeun maranéhna kana perang dina poé anu agung ti Allah Nu Maha Kawasa. Wahyu 16:13, 14.
The “Roman power” is the papacy, the beast and the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy that received a deadly wound. The “Protestants” represent the United States, the false prophet, the sixth and final kingdom of Bible prophecy. “Spiritualism” is the United Nations, the dragon and the kingdom that agrees to rule for one hour with the beast. The threefold union is accomplished during the “one hour” that is the “hour” of the “great earthquake” in Revelation eleven, which is the soon-coming Sunday law.
“Kawasaan Romawi” téh kapausan, sato galak jeung karajaan kalima dina nubuatan Alkitab anu nampi tatu anu matak paéh. “Protestan” ngawakilan Amérika Sarikat, nabi palsu, karajaan kagenep jeung panungtung dina nubuatan Alkitab. “Spiritualisme” nyaéta Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, naga jeung karajaan anu sapuk pikeun maréntah salila sajam babarengan jeung sato galak. Panyatuan tilu rupa éta kalaksanakeun dina mangsa “sajam” anu mangrupa “jamna” “lini gedé” dina Wahyu sabelas, nyaéta undang-undang Minggu anu baris geura datang.
“By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.
“Ku dekrit anu nerapkeun lembaga Kapapaan kalawan ngalanggar hukum Allah, bangsa urang bakal nyabut dirina sapinuhna tina kabeneran. Nalika Protestantisme ngulinkeun leungeunna meuntas jurang pikeun nyepengan leungeun kakawasaan Roma, nalika manéhna ngahontal meuntas kaungkulan jero pikeun silih keupeul leungeun jeung Spiritisme, nalika, dina pangaruh ieu pakumpulan tilu rupa, nagara urang nampik unggal prinsip Konstitusina minangka pamaréntahan Protestan jeung républik, sarta nyieun jalan pikeun sumebarna kabohongan-kabohongan jeung kasasaran-kasasaran papal, harita urang bisa nyaho yén waktuna geus datang pikeun karya anu matak heran ti Iblis, sarta yén ahir geus caket.” Testimonies, jilid 5, 451.
In Daniel chapter two, Babylon, the first kingdom of Bible prophecy represented by the head of gold, typifies spiritual Babylon, the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The twofold kingdom of the Medes and Persians, the shoulders and arms of silver, the second kingdom of Bible prophecy in Daniel two, represents the two-horned earth beast, the United States, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The brass of the image of Daniel two, representing Greece, the third kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the United Nations, the seventh head that continues for “one hour”, and that agrees to accept a position in the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet.
Dina pasal kadua kitab Daniel, Babulon, karajaan kahiji dina nubuat Alkitab anu dilambangkeun ku sirah emas, ngalambangkeun Babulon rohani, nyaéta karajaan kalima dina nubuat Alkitab. Karajaan rangkep dua urang Media jeung Persia, taktak jeung leungeun tina pérak, karajaan kadua dina nubuat Alkitab dina Daniel pasal dua, ngagambarkeun sato galak bumi anu boga dua tanduk, nyaéta Amérika Serikat, karajaan kagenep dina nubuat Alkitab. Tambaga tina patung dina Daniel pasal dua, anu ngagambarkeun Yunani, karajaan katilu dina nubuat Alkitab, ngagambarkeun Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, nyaéta sirah katujuh anu neraskeun salila “sahiji jam”, sarta anu sapuk narima hiji kalungguhan dina pasatuan tilu rupa antara naga, sato galak, jeung nabi palsu.
The iron kingdom of Daniel chapter two, the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven. Literal pagan Rome, the fourth kingdom, represents modern Rome, which is a kingdom that is structured with the combination of Church and State, with the Church ruling over the relationship. That kingdom is threefold in nature, for the premier king of the “ten kings” is the sixth kingdom which is the earth beast. The sixth kingdom is Ahab, who was married to Jezebel. The sixth kingdom when represented in its threefold union is modern Rome, that was preceded by the fifth kingdom that was papal Rome, which was preceded by the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome.
Karajaan beusi dina Daniel pasal dua, nyaéta karajaan kaopat dina nubuat Alkitab, ngagambarkeun karajaan kadalapan, nyaéta anu asalna tina tujuh. Roma pagan sacara harfiah, karajaan kaopat, ngagambarkeun Roma modéren, anu mangrupa hiji karajaan anu disusun ku gabungan Garéja jeung Nagara, kalayan Garéja ngawasa éta hubungan. Karajaan éta sipatna tilu-lapis, sabab raja pangutamana tina “sapuluh raja” nyaéta karajaan kagenep, nyaéta sato galak bumi. Karajaan kagenep téh Ahab, anu geus nikah ka Isebel. Karajaan kagenep, nalika diwakilan dina persatuanana anu tilu-lapis, nyaéta Roma modéren, anu didahului ku karajaan kalima, nyaéta Roma kapausan, anu saméméhna deui didahului ku karajaan kaopat, nyaéta Roma pagan.
The Millerites only saw Rome as the fourth and final kingdom. They recognized it was twofold in nature, but could see no other following earthly kingdom. The fourth kingdom was pagan Rome, which preceded papal Rome the fifth kingdom, that is followed by modern Rome the sixth kingdom. The sixth kingdom is the third of three Roman manifestations.
Golongan Millerit ngan ningali Roma minangka karajaan kaopat jeung panungtung. Maranéhna ngakuan yén sipatna dua rupa, tapi teu tiasa ningali aya karajaan dunya séjén anu nuturkeunana. Karajaan kaopat nyaéta Roma kapir, anu miheulaan Roma kapausan, karajaan kalima, anu satuluyna dituturkeun ku Roma modéren, karajaan kagenep. Karajaan kagenep téh mangrupa anu katilu tina tilu manifestasi Roma.
The threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet is both modern Rome and also Babylon the Great, whose deadly wound is healed. The United States, the United Nations and the whore of Tyre represent the eighth and final kingdom, but they are all three allies in the threefold union of the sixth kingdom, which is the last power “to wage war against the church and the law of God.”
Persatuan tilu rupa antara naga, sato galak, jeung nabi palsu teh nya eta Roma moderen sarta oge Babul Nu Agung, anu tatu maotna geus cageur. Amérika Sarikat, Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, jeung sundal Tirus ngalambangkeun karajaan kadalapan jeung panungtungan, tapi maranehna katilu oge mangrupakeun sekutu dina persatuan tilu rupa tina karajaan kagenep, anu mangrupa kakawasaan panungtungan “pikeun ngayakeun perang ngalawan gareja jeung hukum Allah.”
The United States is one-third of the sixth kingdom. The United Nations, as part of the threefold union, is also one-third of the sixth kingdom, and the papacy is also one-third of the sixth kingdom. At this level the number for the United States is SIX, and the number for the United Nations is SIX and the number of the papacy is SIX. The threefold union represents the number of a man, the “man of sin”, and his number is SIX-SIX-SIX.
Amérika Sarikat mangrupa sapertilu tina karajaan kagenep. Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, minangka bagian tina pasatuan tilu rangkep, ogé mangrupa sapertilu tina karajaan kagenep, sarta kapausan ogé mangrupa sapertilu tina karajaan kagenep. Dina tataran ieu bilangan pikeun Amérika Sarikat nyaéta GENEP, jeung bilangan pikeun Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa nyaéta GENEP, sarta bilangan kapausan nyaéta GENEP. Pasatuan tilu rangkep ngawakilan bilangan hiji manusa, “manusa dosa”, sarta bilanganana nyaéta GENEP-GENEP-GENEP.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18.
Ieu hikmah. Sing saha anu boga pangarti, itunglah bilangan sato galak éta; sabab éta teh bilangan hiji manusa; jeung bilanganna nyaéta genep ratus genep puluh genep. Wahyu 13:18.
The sixth and final separate kingdom is the United States, but it deceives the world, for it is the False Prophet.
Karajaan kagenep jeung pamungkas anu misah téh nyaéta Amérika Sarikat, nanging éta nipu dunya, sabab éta téh Nabi Palsu.
And he 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 he 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 he 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. Revelation 13:12–14.
Sarta anjeunna ngalaksanakeun sakabéh kakawasaan sato galak anu kahiji di payuneun éta, sarta nyababkeun bumi jeung jalma-jalma anu cicing di dinya nyembah ka sato galak anu kahiji, anu tatu paéhna geus cageur. Sarta anjeunna ngalakukeun mujijat-mujijat anu gedé, nepi ka anjeunna ngajadikeun seuneu turun ti sawarga ka bumi di hareupeun jalma-jalma, sarta nipu jalma-jalma anu cicing di bumi ku jalan mujijat-mujijat anu dipiboga kakuatan ku anjeunna pikeun dilakukeun di payuneun sato galak éta; bari nyebut ka jalma-jalma anu cicing di bumi, supaya maranéhna nyieun hiji gambar pikeun sato galak éta, anu kungsi katatu ku pedang, tapi tetep hirup. Wahyu 13:12–14.
The “power of the first beast before him,” represents the power that was given to the papacy by the kings of Europe, beginning with Clovis in the year 496. The United States uses its military might, accompanied by its economic might to deceive and coerce the world. The United States forces the world to worship the papacy, through the enforcement of Sunday worship. The United States performs great wonders by making fire, (a symbol of a message) to come down out of heaven, that is to be accomplished by the Information Super-Highway, that represents the full development of brainwashing and propaganda, that is the modern manifestation of hypnosis. Because of the escalating crisis brought upon the earth by Islam, as they fulfill their role in angering the nations, the world is deceived to accept the worldwide system of the combination of Church and State that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
“Kuasa sato nu kahiji di hareupeun anjeunna” ngagambarkeun kakawasaan anu dipaparin ka kapausan ku raja-raja Éropa, dimimitian ku Clovis dina taun 496. Amérika Sarikat ngagunakeun kakuatan militérna, dibarengan ku kakuatan ékonomina, pikeun nipu jeung maksa dunya. Amérika Sarikat maksa dunya supaya nyembah kapausan ngaliwatan panerapan ibadah poé Minggu. Amérika Sarikat ngalakukeun kaajaiban-kaajaiban gedé ku ngajadikeun seuneu—(lambang tina hiji pesen)—turun ti sawarga, nyaéta hiji hal anu bakal kahontal ku Information Super-Highway, anu ngagambarkeun pamekaran pinuh tina cuci otak jeung propaganda, anu mangrupa wujud modéren tina hipnosis. Ku lantaran krisis anu beuki ngaronjat anu ditimpakeun ka bumi ku Islam, nalika maranéhna ngalaksanakeun peranna dina nganyenyeri bangsa-bangsa, dunya katipu nepi ka narima sistem sadunya tina gabungan Garéja jeung Nagara anu diwangun ku naga, sato galak, jeung nabi palsu.
When verse eighteen of Revelation thirteen says count the number of the beast, the number is the three powers that come together to make up the sixth and final kingdom. When that kingdom of 666, is put in place, it will be the fulfillment of the prophetic riddle that the eighth king is of the seven. That prophetic riddle is part of the truth that is unsealed when the Lion of the tribe of Judah, unseals the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nalika ayat dalapan welas dina Wahyu tilu welas nyebutkeun, “itungan angka sato galak éta,” angka éta téh nya éta tilu kakawasaan anu ngahiji pikeun ngawangun karajaan kagenep jeung panungtung. Nalika karajaan 666 éta ditegakkan, éta bakal jadi kacumponan tina tatarucingan nubuatan yén raja ka dalapan téh asalna tina anu tujuh. Tatarucingan nubuatan éta mangrupa bagian tina bebeneran anu dibuka meteraina nalika Singa ti kaom Yuda muka meterai Wahyu Yesus Kristus.
For this reason the riddle of the final kingdom that is the threefold sixth kingdom, that is also spiritual Babylon that was forgotten for seventy symbolic years, and who is modern Rome, and who is also the worldwide image of the beast, who was typified by the first kingdom of Babylon, and the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, is twice witnessed to by the identification that it is the “wise” that will understand this truth, for the enigma of 666, is premised upon those who have wisdom, as is the enigma of the eighth king being of the seven.
Ku sabab kitu, tatarucingan ngeunaan karajaan panungtungan anu mangrupa karajaan kagenep nu tilu rupa, anu ogé nyaéta Babul rohani anu kungsi dipopohokeun salila tujuh puluh taun simbolis, sarta anu nyaéta Roma modéren, sarta anu ogé nyaéta gambar sato galak sakuliah dunya, anu geus dipraanggapan ku karajaan kahiji, nyaéta Babul, jeung ku karajaan kaopat, nyaéta Roma kapir, disaksian dua kali ku pangidéntifikasian yén anu bakal ngartos kana bebeneran ieu téh nyaéta “anu wijaksana,” sabab tatarucingan ngeunaan 666 didasarkeun kana jalma-jalma anu boga hikmah, sakumaha ogé tatarucingan ngeunaan raja kadalapan anu asalna tina tujuh.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18.
Ieu hikmat. Sing saha anu boga pangarti, hitunglah bilangan sato galak éta, sabab éta téh bilangan hiji manusa; jeung bilanganana genep ratus genep puluh genep. Wahyu 13:18.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Revelation 17:9.
Jeung ieu pikiran anu mibanda hikmah. Tujuh sirah téh tujuh gunung, anu di luhurna éta awéwé linggih. Wahyu 17:9.
The unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is understood by the “wise,” not by the wicked. Both references of wisdom in the book of Revelation are about those who have “understanding,” and what the “wise” understand is the “increase of knowledge”. The “increase of knowledge” that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation that the eighth kingdom, which is the threefold kingdom of 666, is also represented in Daniel chapter two, for the jewels of Miller’s dream are to shine ten times brighter in the last days.
Muka konci tina Wahyu Yesus Kristus dipikaharti ku jalma-jalma “wijaksana,” lain ku jalma-jalma jahat. Duanana rujukan ngeunaan hikmah dina kitab Wahyu nyangkem jalma-jalma anu miboga “pangarti,” sarta anu dipikaharti ku jalma-jalma “wijaksana” teh nya eta “nambahanana pangaweruh”. “Nambahanana pangaweruh” anu mangrupa Wahyu Yesus Kristus teh nya eta panyingkapan yen karajaan kadalapan, anu mangrupa karajaan tilu rupa tina 666, oge digambarkeun dina Daniel pasal dua, sabab permata-permata dina impian Miller kudu ngagenclang sapuluh kali leuwih caang dina poean-poean panungtungan.
We will continue this study in the next article.
Urang bakal neruskeun ieu panalungtikan dina artikel salajengna.
“In the Revelation are portrayed the deep things of God. The very name given to its inspired pages, ‘the Revelation,’ contradicts the statement that this is a sealed book. A revelation is something revealed. The Lord Himself revealed to His servant the mysteries contained in this book, and He designs that they shall be open to the study of all. Its truths are addressed to those living in the last days of this earth’s history, as well as to those living in the days of John. Some of the scenes depicted in this prophecy are in the past, some are now taking place; some bring to view the close of the great conflict between the powers of darkness and the Prince of heaven, and some reveal the triumphs and joys of the redeemed in the earth made new.
“Dina Wahyu kagambarkeun hal-hal jero ti Allah. Ngaran anu dipasihkeun ka kaca-kaca ilhamna, ‘Wahyu,’ sorangan nentang pernyataan yén ieu téh kitab anu disegel. Wahyu nyaéta hiji hal anu dibukakeun. Gusti pribadi parantos ngabukakeun ka hamba-Na rahasia-rahasia anu aya dina ieu kitab, sarta Anjeunna ngarancang supaya éta kabuka pikeun dipaluruh ku sakumna jalma. Kaleresan-kaleresan éta ditujukeun ka anu hirup dina poé-poé panungtungan sajarah ieu bumi, kitu deui ka anu hirup dina mangsa Yohanes. Sabagian tina pamandangan anu digambarkeun dina ieu nubuat geus kaliwat, sabagian keur lumangsung ayeuna; sabagian deui nembongkeun panutupan papacangan agung antara kakuatan-kakuatan poék jeung Pangeran sawarga, sarta sabagian ngungkabkeun kameunangan jeung kabungahan jalma-jalma anu geus ditebus dina bumi anu dijadikeun anyar.
“Let none think, because they cannot explain the meaning of every symbol in the Revelation, that it is useless for them to search this book in an effort to know the meaning of the truth it contains. The One who revealed these mysteries to John will give to the diligent searcher for truth a foretaste of heavenly things. Those whose hearts are open to the reception of truth will be enabled to understand its teachings, and will be granted the blessing promised to those who ‘hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’
“Ulah aya nu nyangka yén ku sabab maranéhna teu bisa ngajelaskeun harti unggal lambang dina Wahyu, éta buku jadi taya gunana pikeun ditalungtik ku maranéhna dina ikhtiar pikeun nyaho harti bebeneran nu dikandungna. Anjeunna anu ngébréhkeun ieu rasiah ka Yohanes bakal maparin ka nu taliti neangan bebeneran hiji rasa pangheulana ngeunaan perkara-perkara sawarga. Jalma-jalma anu haténa kabuka pikeun nampa bebeneran bakal dipaparin kamampuhan pikeun ngarti kana pangajaranana, sarta bakal dianugrahan berkah anu geus dijangjikeun ka jalma-jalma anu ‘ngadenge kecap-kecap nubuat ieu, sarta ngajaga sagala hal anu dituliskeun di jerona.’”
“In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.
“Dina Wahyu sakumna kitab dina Alkitab patepung sarta dipungkas. Di dieu aya panambah tina kitab Daniel. Nu hiji nya éta hiji nubuat; nu hiji deui hiji panyingkapan. Kitab anu disegel téh lain Wahyu, tapi éta bagéan tina nubuat Daniel anu patali jeung poé-poé panungtungan. Malaikat maréntah, ‘Tapi maneh, eh Daniel, tutup kecap-kecap éta, sarta segel kitabna, nepi ka mangsa ahir.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.
