Those on the wrong side of this final controversy of the symbol of Rome lean upon a flawed application of a triple application of prophecy as they suggest that the three Rome’s are defined by the three Sunday laws of the years 321, 538 and the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. In doing so they place an incorrect slant upon the rule and the prophetic history they select, as was also done in the controversy over the four insects of Joel. The four generations followed by four devouring insects in the first six verses of Joel address how God’s people are progressively decimated over four generations, and that the decimation was accomplished by Adventism’s acceptance of the theology of Rome and apostate Protestantism.
Jalma-jalma anu aya di pihak anu salah dina pasalia pamungkas ieu ngeunaan lambang Roma ngandelkeun kana panerapan anu cacad tina hiji panerapan rangkep tilu kana nubuat, nalika maranéhna nyarankeun yén tilu Roma téh ditangtukeun ku tilu hukum Minggu dina taun 321, 538, jeung hukum Minggu anu enggal datang di Amérika Serikat.

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

Those who were awakened in July, 2023, are required to understand that the prophetic test that confronts them occurs during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and that during that outpouring one class is receiving the “oil,” and the other class is receiving “strong delusion.” The primary representation of those who receive strong delusion is represented in the very chapter where the expression strong delusion is located, and in that chapter the truth that is either loved or rejected is the truth which defines the prophetic relationship between pagan Rome and papal Rome.
Jalma-jalma anu dihudangkeun dina bulan Juli 2023 diperedih ngartos yén ujian nubuat anu nyanghareupan maranéhna lumangsung salila pancuran Roh Suci, sarta yén dina mangsa pancuran éta, hiji golongan keur narima “minyak,” sedengkeun golongan nu séjén keur narima “kasasaran anu kuat.” Gambaran utama ngeunaan jalma-jalma anu narima kasasaran anu kuat diwakilan dina éta pasal anu sarua tempat ungkara “kasasaran anu kuat” aya, sarta dina éta pasal, bebeneran anu dipikanyaah atawa ditampik téh nya éta bebeneran anu nangtukeun hubungan nubuat antara Roma kapir jeung Roma kapausan.
The prophetic relationship between 321 and 538 is shown by the prophetic relationship between the church of Pergamos and the church of Thyatira. In the last days, pagan Rome, represented by 321 and Pergamos, is a symbol of the United States, and papal Rome, represented by 538 and Thyatira, is a symbol of Modern Rome.
Hubungan nubuat antara 321 jeung 538 ditingalikeun ku hubungan nubuat antara garéja Pergamos jeung garéja Tiatira. Dina poé-poé panungtungan, Roma kapir, anu dilambangkeun ku 321 jeung Pergamos, mangrupa lambang Amérika Serikat, sarta Roma kapapaan, anu dilambangkeun ku 538 jeung Tiatira, mangrupa lambang Roma Modéren.
The first Rome of 321 was a singular power state, and the second Rome of 538 was a dual power representing a combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. The third and final Rome, which is modern Rome, is a threefold power that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
Roma kahiji taun 321 téh nagara kakawasaan tunggal, sedengkeun Roma kadua taun 538 téh kakawasaan rangkep anu ngawakilan gabungan gareja jeung nagara, kalayan gareja nu ngadalikeun éta hubungan. Roma katilu jeung nu pamungkas, nyaéta Roma modéren, mangrupa kakawasaan tilu rupa anu diwangun ku naga, sato galak, jeung nabi palsu.
Paul taught that to not understand the prophetic and historic relationship of pagan Rome (the dragon) and papal Rome (the beast) was to manifest a hatred of the truth which brought about strong delusion. All the prophets, including Paul were more specifically addressing the last days, so the relationship between the two powers in Paul’s history represents the relationship between the three powers of Modern Rome in the last days. To reject the prophetic relationship that “forms” the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days is to secure strong delusion for yourself.
Paulus ngajar yén lamun henteu ngartos kana hubungan nubuat jeung sajarah antara Roma kapir (naga) jeung Roma kapausan (sato galak), éta téh nandakeun kabencian kana bebeneran anu ngabalukarkeun kasasaran anu kuat.

Uriah Smith’s private interpretation of the king of the north represented a “cause” that produced an “effect.” But the class that is on the wrong side of the controversies about Rome is specifically identified as being unable to reason from cause to effect. Smith did not see that his flawed application of the king of the north would produce a prophetic platform which would lead him to also misrepresent the sixth plague, where there is a warning to keep or lose the garment of Christ’s righteousness.
Tafsiran pribadi Uriah Smith ngeunaan raja kalér ngawakilan hiji “sabab” anu ngahasilkeun hiji “akibat.” Tapi golongan anu aya di pihak anu salah dina pasualan-pasualan ngeunaan Roma sacara husus dipikawanoh minangka jalma-jalma anu teu mampuh nalar tina sabab ka akibat.

As with Paul’s emphasis in 2 Thessalonians, John in chapter sixteen of Revelation and the sixth plague emphasizes the necessity of understanding who the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon are. Smith’s flawed application of the king of the north provides witness to an inability to rightly apply types and antitypes.
Sakumaha tekenan Paulus dina 2 Tesalonika, Yohanes dina pasal genep welas kitab Wahyu jeung bala kagenep nekenkeun perluna ngartos saha tilu kakawasaan anu mingpin dunya ka Armagedon. Panerapan Smith anu cacad ngeunaan raja ti kalér méré kasaksian kana henteu mampuhna pikeun nerapkeun tipe jeung antitipe kalayan bener.
Smith could not, or would not, apply the principle so strongly set forth in the writings of Paul that the literal before the time-period of the cross represented the spiritual after the time-period of the cross. When this principle is carefully and correctly followed it is easily demonstrated that the “king of the north” is one of many symbols that represent the spiritual “king of the north” in the last days. Seventh-day Adventists above any other people should know that one of the primary structures that prophecy is based upon is the controversy between Christ and Satan. Christ is the true King of the north, and Satan has been attempting to manifest himself as the counterfeit king of the north.
Smith henteu bisa, atawa henteu daék, nerapkeun éta prinsip anu kacida tegesna ditepikeun dina tulisan-tulisan Paulus, yén anu literal saméméh mangsa salib ngawakilan anu rohani sanggeus mangsa salib.

A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Psalms 48:1–3.
Hiji Lagu jeung Jabur pikeun bani Korah. Agung PANGERAN, sarta kacida pantesna dipuji di kota Allah urang, di gunung kasucian-Na. Endah ku ayana, kabungahan sakuliah bumi, nya eta Gunung Sion, di beulah kalér, kota Raja anu Agung. Allah dipikawanoh di karaton-karatonana minangka pangungsian. Jabur 48:1–3.
Satan’s efforts to counterfeit the true King of the north, includes employing the pope of Rome as his earthly representative. Satan is antichrist, and so is the pope of Rome, who is Satan’s proxy in his work of deception.
Usaha Sétan pikeun ngalakukeun pamalsuan ka Raja kalér anu sajati ngawengku ngagunakeun paus Roma minangka wawakilna di bumi. Sétan téh antikristus, kitu deui paus Roma, anu jadi panggantos Sétan dina pagawéanana pikeun nipu.
“To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.
“Pikeun ngamankeun kauntungan jeung kahormatan dunyawi, gareja dituntun pikeun neangan kanyaah jeung pangrojong ti jalma-jalma agung di bumi; sarta ku kituna, sanggeus nampik Kristus, manéhna kabujuk pikeun nyerahkeun kasatiaan ka wakil Sétan—uskup Roma.” The Great Controversy, 50.
In the breakup of Alexander the Great’s kingdom, Seleucus Nicator became the first king of the north in the history represented in Daniel chapter eleven. His father, Antiochus, had been an influential leader in Alexander’s kingdom, and his son, Seleucus, was made the satrap of Babylon. A “satrap” is a governor, and when Seleucus had secured three of the four geographical areas that Alexander’s kingdom divided into, he became the king of the north.
Dina mecahna karajaan Aleksander Agung, Seleukus Nicator jadi raja kalér anu kahiji dina sajarah anu digambarkeun dina Daniel pasal sabelas. Bapana, Antiokhus, kungsi jadi pamingpin anu boga pangaruh dina karajaan Aleksander, sarta putrana, Seleukus, diangkat jadi satrap Babul. “Satrap” téh gubernur, sarta nalika Seleukus geus ngukuhkeun kakawasaanana kana tilu tina opat wewengkon géografis anu jadi pabagian karajaan Aleksander, manéhna jadi raja kalér.
Smith’s private interpretation and avoidance of grammatical rules led him to assume the final powers that made up Satan’s confederacy of evil in the last days were represented in prophecy as literal powers, not spiritual powers. Thus, he could not see that Seleucus Nicator as the first king of the north, the governor of Babylon, would of prophetic necessity represent the final spiritual king of the north who was the power that controlled modern spiritual Babylon.

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

The power that governs Babylon in the last days is the papal church, and she is therefore also the spiritual king of the north.
Kakawasaan anu ngawasa Babul dina poe-poe panungtungan téh nyaéta garéja kapausan, ku sabab éta manéhna ogé nyaéta raja kalér sacara rohani.
“The woman (Babylon) of Revelation 17 is described as ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness:…and upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots.’ Says the prophet: ‘I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.’ Babylon is further declared to be ‘that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.’ Revelation 17:4-6, 18. The power that for so many centuries maintained despotic sway over the monarchs of Christendom is Rome. The purple and scarlet color, the gold and precious stones and pearls, vividly picture the magnificence and more than kingly pomp affected by the haughty see of Rome. And no other power could be so truly declared ‘drunken with the blood of the saints’ as that church which has so cruelly persecuted the followers of Christ. Babylon is also charged with the sin of unlawful connection with ‘the kings of the earth.’ It was by departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot; and Rome, corrupting herself in like manner by seeking the support of worldly powers, receives a like condemnation.” The Great Controversy, 382.
“Éta awéwé (Babul) dina Wahyu 17 diterangkeun salaku ‘ngagem warna wungu jeung beureum saulas, dihias ku emas, batu-batu mulia, jeung mutiara, bari nyekel cangkir emas dina leungeunna pinuh ku kajijikan jeung kakotoran: …jeung dina tarangna aya hiji ngaran katulis, Rahasia, Babul Nu Agung, indung para palacur.’ Ceuk nabi: ‘Kuring ningali éta awéwé mabok ku getih jalma-jalma suci, jeung ku getih para syahid Yesus.’ Babul salajengna dinyatakeun minangka ‘éta kota gedé, anu maréntah ngaliwatan raja-raja bumi.’ Wahyu 17:4-6, 18.

The governor is the king, and according to Isaiah, a king is a kingdom and is also the capital city of a kingdom.
Gubernur téh raja, jeung numutkeun Yesaya, raja téh hiji karajaan sarta ogé ibu kota tina hiji karajaan.
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.
Sabab sirah Siria teh Damsik, jeung sirah Damsik teh Résin; sarta dina genep puluh lima taun, Éfraim bakal diruksak nepi ka henteu deui jadi hiji bangsa. Jeung sirah Éfraim teh Samaria, jeung sirah Samaria teh anak Remalya. Lamun maranéh henteu percaya, tangtu maranéh moal diteguhkeun. Yesaya 7:8, 9.
According to the witness of Isaiah, a student of prophecy who awakens in July of 2023 to a prophetic testing process must recognize the prophetic symbolism of the “head” if he wishes to be established. If he doesn’t recognize and apply the symbolism of a “head” when called for, then he is not established. Those who disbelieve are not established, and therefore Isaiah is identifying two classes of worshippers in the last days who either are established or are not established. They are the same two classes who either have the “oil,” or they don’t have the “oil.”
Nurutkeun kasaksian Yesaya, saurang murid nubuat anu hudang dina bulan Juli 2023 kana hiji prosés pangrajinan nubuat kudu ngakuan perlambang nubuat tina “sirah” lamun manéhna hayang diteguhkeun.

Maranéhna téh golongan anu sarua, anu boh miboga “minyak,” boh henteu miboga “minyak.”
One class that is established and has oil, receives the message of the Midnight Cry that began to be opened up in July of 2023, or they receive the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians. Their test is the formation of the image of the beast, and the way in which the beast is formed, whether the papal beast of the Dark Ages, or its image that is formed by the United States, or the threefold union that leads the world to Armageddon. This includes the necessity of recognizing that the “head,” the “king” the ruler of the other two powers that make up the threefold union, is the papal power.
Hiji golongan anu geus diteguhkeun sarta miboga minyak narima amanat Teriakan Tengah Peuting anu mimiti dibuka dina bulan Juli 2023, atawa maranéhna narima kasasab anu kuat tina 2 Tesalonika.

The “head,” the capital city of Judah was Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose to place His name.
“Kapala,” nyaéta kota nagara Yuda, nya éta Yerusalem, kota anu dipilih ku Gusti pikeun nempatkeun ngaran-Na.
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 1 Kings 14:21.
Jeung Rehabeam, putra Suleman, maréntah di Yuda. Rehabeam yuswana opat puluh hiji taun nalika mimiti maréntah, sarta anjeunna maréntah salila tujuh belas taun di Yerusalem, kota anu dipilih ku PANGERAN ti antara sakabéh kaom Israil, pikeun nempatkeun ngaran-Na di dinya. Jeung ngaran indungna nya éta Naama, hiji urang Amon. 1 Raja-raja 14:21.
In the great controversy between Christ and Satan, Christ’s capital city, where He places His name, is Jerusalem, and Satan’s counterfeit was the literal city of Babylon that represents spiritual Babylon that great city in the last days. Satan places his name upon the head as a counterfeit of God’s city and capitol. The king that resides there is the mother of harlots who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The mother of harlots is the papal power, and her daughters are the fallen Protestant churches, of which the premier fallen apostate church is the apostate Protestants of the United States.
Dina pasulayan agung antara Kristus jeung Iblis, kota puseur kakawasaan Kristus, tempat Anjeunna netepkeun ngaran-Na, nyaéta Yerusalem, sarta palsuan Iblis nyaéta kota Babul sacara harfiah anu ngagambarkeun Babul rohani, kota agung éta dina poé-poé panungtungan.

Indung para sundal éta nyaéta kakawasaan kapapaan, sarta anak-anak awéwéna nyaéta gereja-gereja Protestan anu geus murag, anu di antarana gereja murtad anu pangutamana nyaéta kaum Protestan murtad di Amérika Serikat.
Those apostate Protestants represent the Protestant horn of the earth beast, and they are connected with their mother since their rejection of the prophetic message that was unsealed in 1798. Their counterpart, the Republican horn, is connected with the kings of the earth through their relationship with the United Nations, the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The threefold union which leads the world to Armageddon is represented by its head, where its name is placed, and spiritual modern Rome is spiritual modern Babylon. Its “head” is the papal power.
Urang Protestan murtad éta ngagambarkeun tanduk Protestan tina sato galak bumi, sarta maranéhna nyambung jeung indungna lantaran maranéhna nampik pesen nubuat anu disegelna geus dibuka dina taun 1798.

The first represents the last and whether you apply Daniel chapter two as did the Millerites, as representing four kingdoms, or as has been opened up in the last days as representing eight kingdoms, the first kingdom was literal Babylon. The Millerites would inform you the last was literal Rome. Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols, for they are the first and the last of a prophetic line.
Nu kahiji ngagambarkeun nu panungtung, sarta naha anjeun nerapkeun Daniel pasal dua sakumaha anu dipigawe ku kaum Millerite, minangka ngagambarkeun opat karajaan, atawa sakumaha anu geus dibuka dina poé-poé panungtung minangka ngagambarkeun dalapan karajaan, karajaan anu kahiji téh nyaéta Babul literal. Kaum Millerite bakal ngabéjaan ka anjeun yén anu panungtung téh nyaéta Roma literal. Babul jeung Roma téh lambang anu silihgentoskeun, sabab maranéhna nyaéta anu kahiji jeung anu panungtung dina hiji jajaran nubuat.
In the last days the first kingdom of literal Babylon represents the eighth and last kingdom which is spiritual modern Babylon, and is also spiritual modern Rome. Upon the two witnesses represented in Daniel chapter two Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols.
Dina poé-poé panungtungan, karajaan kahiji Babul sacara harfiah ngalambangkeun karajaan kadalapan jeung pangahirna, nyaéta Babul modérn rohani, sarta ogé Roma modérn rohani. Dumasar kana dua saksi anu digambarkeun dina Daniel pasal dua, Babul jeung Roma mangrupakeun lambang anu bisa silih gentos.
When the papal whore is portrayed with a name on her forehead that identifies “Mystery Babylon,” it is also identifying “mystery Rome.” A prophetic “mystery” represents a truth that is so profound that it is impossible to understand the depth of the truth represented therein, especially without the influence of the Holy Spirit. But a biblical “mystery” also demands that what is revealed in connection with the mystery is a required understanding for those who seek to pass the test. This is why two witnesses in Revelation emphasize the need to understand modern Rome.
Nalika palacuran papal digambarkeun kalayan hiji ngaran dina tarangna anu nandakeun “Babul Misteri,” éta ogé keur nandakeun “Roma misteri.” Hiji “misteri” nubuat ngawakilan hiji bebeneran anu kacida jembarna nepi ka mustahil pikeun ngartos jeroeun bebeneran anu diwakilan di dinya, utamana lamun taya pangaruh ti Roh Suci.

Ieu sababna dua saksi dina Wahyu nekenkeun kabutuhan pikeun ngartos Roma modéren.
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 aya hikmah. Sing saha anu boga pangarti, itunglah bilangan sato galak éta, sabab éta téh bilangan manusa; jeung bilanganana nyaéta genep ratus genep puluh genep. Wahyu 13:18.
“Wisdom” understands the number of the beast, which is the number of a man whose number is six, six, six. The “man of sin” is the head of the beast. Wisdom is an attribute of the wise virgins in the last days, and it is also a symbol of those who understand the increase of knowledge in the last days. Those who do not understand are foolish virgins and are the wicked. The “wisdom” they do not understand must of prophetic necessity be in the context of the final prophetic test, for this is when the wise and foolish virgins exist. They must understand “six, six, six.” The mind that has wisdom is also located by John in the last days in Revelation chapter seventeen.
“Hikmah” ngartos kana angka sato galak, anu mangrupakeun angka hiji manusa anu angkana genep, genep, genep. “Jalma dosa” teh huluna sato galak. Hikmah mangrupa hiji sipat para parawan anu wijaksana dina poé-poé panungtungan, sarta éta ogé mangrupakeun lambang jalma-jalma anu ngartos kana nambahanana pangaweruh dina poé-poé panungtungan.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Revelation 17:9–11.
Jeung ieu teh pikiran anu miboga hikmah. Tujuh sirah eta teh tujuh gunung, tempat awewe eta linggih. Jeung aya tujuh raja: lima geus rubuh, saurang keur aya, jeung nu saurang deui can datang; jeung lamun manéhna datang, manéhna kudu tetep sakeudeung wungkul. Jeung sato galak anu kungsi aya, tapi ayeuna euweuh, nya eta teh nu kadalapan, sarta asalna tina nu tujuh, jeung indit kana kabinasaan. Wahyu 17:9–11.
The “mind” that has the wisdom to understand the number “six, six, six,” is a wise virgin who has obtained the “mind of Christ.”
“Pikiran” anu miboga hikmah pikeun ngartos bilangan “genep, genep, genep,” nyaéta parawan anu wijaksana anu geus nampi “pikiran Kristus.”
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.
Sabab saha anu nyaho kana pikiran Gusti, nepi ka bisa mere pituduh ka Anjeunna? Ari urang mah boga pikiran Kristus. 1 Korinta 2:16.
The class of wise virgins have the mind of Christ, and the foolish wicked virgins have the mind of Christ’s adversary.
Golongan parawan nu wijaksana ngabogaan pikiran Kristus, ari parawan-parawan bodo nu jahat ngabogaan pikiran lawan Kristus.
“The time has come for the true light to shine amid moral darkness. The third angel’s message has been sent forth to the world, warning men against receiving the mark of the beast or of his image in their foreheads or in their hands. To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.
“Waktuna geus sumping supaya cahaya anu sajati moncorong di tengah poekna moral. Talatah malaikat katilu geus dikintunkeun ka sakuliah dunya, ngingetan manusa supaya ulah narima tanda sato galak atawa patungna dina tarang maranéhna atawa dina leungeun maranéhna. Narima tanda ieu hartina nyokot putusan anu sarua saperti anu geus dipigawé ku sato galak éta, jeung ngadukung pamadegan anu sarua, kalawan langsung nentang Firman Allah.” Review and Herald, 13 Juli 1897.
The formation of the image of the beast is the final test for the virgins of the parable, and the wise have the mind of Christ, for they have come to the same decision as Christ, for they have submitted their wills unto the Holy Spirit’s direction. The formation of the image of Christ in the wise virgins contrasts with the formation of the image of the beast in the foolish virgins. The foolish virgins come to the same decision as the beast, for they became confused upon the test question concerning the correct identification of the antichrist, who is the counterfeit king of the north and the head of modern Rome.
Kabentukna gambar sato galak téh mangrupa ujian panungtungan pikeun para parawan dina éta misil, sarta anu wijaksana miboga pikiran Kristus, sabab maranéhna geus sumping kana putusan anu sarua jeung Kristus, sabab maranéhna geus nyerahkeun kahayangna kana pituduh Roh Suci. Kabentukna gambar Kristus dina para parawan anu wijaksana téh ngabanding jeung kabentukna gambar sato galak dina para parawan anu bodo. Para parawan anu bodo sumping kana putusan anu sarua jeung sato galak, sabab maranéhna jadi bingung dina patalékan ujian ngeunaan idéntifikasi anu bener ngeunaan antikristus, anu mangrupa raja kalér palsu sarta kapala Roma modéren.
“Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.
“Jalma-jalma anu jadi bingung dina pamahamanna kana firman, anu teu hasil ningali harti antikristus, tangtu bakal nempatkeun dirina di pihak antikristus.” Kress Collection, 105.
The foolish virgins in the testing time that is represented as the formation of the image of the beast become confused in their understanding of the Word. Their confusion is premised upon misunderstanding God’s prophetic Word, and failing to see the correct meaning of Modern Rome, they receive strong delusion, come to the same decision as the beast, and advocate the same papal ideas in direct opposition to the Word of God, and place themselves on the side of antichrist.
Parawanita bodo dina mangsa pangriksaan anu digambarkeun minangka kabentukna gambar sato galak jadi bingung dina pamahaman maranéhna kana Firman. Kabingungan maranéhna dumasar kana salah paham kana Firman nubuat Allah, sarta ku sabab maranéhna gagal ningali harti anu leres ngeunaan Roma Modéren, maranéhna narima panyasab anu kuat, nepi ka nyieun kaputusan anu sarua jeung sato galak éta, sarta ngabela gagasan-gagasan kapapaan anu sarua dina panolakan anu langsung ngalawan Firman Allah, tuluy nempatkeun dirina dina pihak antikristus.
