For some time, we have been focusing our attention on the hidden history of Daniel 11:40, and in recent weeks, the Lord has drawn our consideration to verse 27:
Kwa muda sasa tumekuwa tukiweka mkazo kwenye historia iliyofichika ya Danieli 11:40, na katika wiki za hivi karibuni, Bwana ametuelekeza kuizingatia aya ya 27:
And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. Daniel 11:27.
Na mioyo ya wafalme hawa wawili itakuwa ya kutenda hila, nao watasema uongo wakiwa mezani pamoja; lakini haitafanikiwa; kwa maana mwisho utakuwa wakati uliowekwa. Danieli 11:27.
Initially, I was uncertain about the details—when, where, and who sat at that table, speaking lies to one another—but these questions are now under review. Over the past few Sabbaths, I made some missteps as I worked through these lines. Yet, through what I believe to be providential guidance, the alliances represented in verses 13–15, symbolized by Caesarea Philippi, began to unfold. Though some elements still require refinement, I believe the Lord has lifted His hand from these verses to reveal their meaning.
Hapo awali, sikuwa na uhakika kuhusu maelezo—lini, wapi, na nani aliyeketi kwenye meza ile, wakiambiana uongo—lakini maswali haya sasa yanapitiwa upya. Katika Sabato chache zilizopita, nilifanya makosa kadhaa nilipokuwa nikipitia mistari hii. Hata hivyo, kupitia kile ninachoamini kuwa mwongozo wa kiMungu, miungano iliyowakilishwa katika mistari ya 13–15, iliyoashiriwa na Kaisarea Filipi, ilianza kufunuka. Ingawa vipengele vingine bado vinahitaji kuboreshwa, ninaamini Bwana ameuondoa mkono wake kutoka kwenye mistari hii ili kufunua maana yake.
This understanding crystallized immediately after last Sabbath’s Zoom meeting. A week earlier, I had been struck by the intricate interplay of histories in verses 10–15. I wrote and sent a text message to a few people outlining my thoughts and asked to share them on Friday evening. I was attempting to organize the issues within those verses, convinced there was something profoundly significant. There is, but it wasn’t what I initially proposed. Despite my stumbles over the past week and a half as I grappled with this passage, I recognize a familiar providence. The Lord was unsealing a special, vital truth. Once the human element is fully exposed and set aside, the truth—opened by the Lion of the tribe of Judah—proves even more profound than I had grasped.
Ufahamu huu ulibainika wazi mara moja baada ya mkutano wa Zoom wa Sabato iliyopita. Wiki moja kabla, niliguswa na mwingiliano tata wa historia mbalimbali katika mistari 10-15. Niliandika na kutuma ujumbe mfupi wa maandishi kwa watu wachache nikieleza muhtasari wa mawazo yangu na nikaomba kuyashiriki Ijumaa jioni. Nilikuwa nikijaribu kupanga masuala yaliyomo katika mistari ya 10-15, nikiwa na hakika kwamba kulikuwa na jambo lenye uzito wa kina. Lipo, lakini halikuwa lile nililopendekeza mwanzoni. Licha ya kujikwaa kwangu katika kipindi cha wiki moja na nusu iliyopita nilipokuwa nikishughulika na kifungu hiki, natambua uangalizi wa Mungu ninaoujua. Bwana alikuwa akifungua muhuri wa ukweli maalum, muhimu sana. Mara kipengele cha kibinadamu kinapofichuliwa kikamilifu na kuwekwa pembeni, ule ukweli, uliofunguliwa na Simba wa kabila la Yuda, unajidhihirisha kuwa wa kina zaidi kuliko nilivyokuwa nimeuelewa.
Verse Five through Nine
Aya ya tano hadi ya tisa
Putin, as the king of the south, mirrors Ptolemy, who will triumph in the Ukraine war, fulfilling verse 11. Historically, Ptolemy IV Philopator’s victory at the Battle of Raphia fulfilled this verse, prefiguring Putin’s imminent success. Verses 5–9 outline a history that foreshadows the papacy’s 1,260-year rule (538–1798) in meticulous detail. These details have been explored repeatedly in the past, so here I will highlight one prophetic waymark fulfilled in verses 5–9 and echoed in the period from 538 to 1798.
Putin, kama mfalme wa kusini, anaakisi Ptolemy, ambaye atashinda katika vita vya Ukraina, akitimiza aya ya 11. Kihistoria, ushindi wa Ptolemy IV Philopator katika Vita vya Raphia ulitimiza aya hii, ukiashiria mapema mafanikio yanayokaribia ya Putin. Aya za 5-9 zinaweka muhtasari wa historia inayoashiria mapema utawala wa miaka 1,260 wa upapa (538-1798) kwa undani makini. Maelezo haya yamechunguzwa mara kwa mara hapo awali, hivyo hapa nitaangazia alama moja ya kinabii iliyotimizwa katika aya za 5-9 na ikaakisiwa katika kipindi cha 538 hadi 1798.
This period began with a treaty between the southern Ptolemaic kingdom and the northern Seleucid kingdom, sealed when the southern king gave his daughter in marriage to the northern king. This union initiated a seven year span that ended when the southern king invaded the north, took the northern king captive to Egypt, and the captive king later died after falling from a horse.
Kipindi hiki kilianza kwa mkataba kati ya ufalme wa Ptolemaiki wa kusini na ufalme wa Seleukidi wa kaskazini, uliotiwa muhuri wakati mfalme wa kusini alipomwoza binti yake kwa mfalme wa kaskazini. Muungano huu ulianzisha kipindi cha miaka saba kilichoishia wakati mfalme wa kusini alivamia kaskazini, akamchukua mfalme wa kaskazini mateka hadi Misri, na mfalme huyo mateka baadaye akafa baada ya kuanguka kutoka juu ya farasi.
A Broken Treaty
Mkataba Uliovunjwa
The invasion stemmed from a broken treaty. After the seven-year period began, the northern king set aside his first wife to marry the southern princess and secure the treaty. Later, he discarded the southern wife and reinstated his original queen. This prompted the first queen to execute the southern queen and her entourage, enraging the southern queen’s family in Egypt.
Uvamizi ulitokana na mkataba uliovunjika. Baada ya kipindi cha miaka saba kuanza, mfalme wa Kaskazini alimwacha mke wake wa kwanza ili aoe binti wa kifalme wa Kusini na kuhakikisha mkataba huo. Baadaye, alimtelekeza mke wa Kusini na kumrejesha malkia wake wa awali. Jambo hilo lilimsukuma malkia wa kwanza kuwaua malkia wa Kusini pamoja na msafara wake, na hivyo kuikasirisha familia ya malkia wa Kusini nchini Misri.
With prophetic discernment, seven years can be seen as two periods of three and a half years, as illustrated by the three and a half years before and after the cross that together represented the week that Christ confirmed the covenant. The three and a half is also recognized in the seven times curse carried out upon the northern kingdom of Israel from 723 BC unto 1798. That seven times is divided into two periods of twelve hundred and sixty, with 538 as the middle point. These illustrations of seven being divided into two periods of three and a half is not random, it is purposeful.
Kwa ufahamu wa kinabii, miaka saba inaweza kuonekana kama vipindi viwili vya miaka mitatu na nusu, kama inavyoonyeshwa na miaka mitatu na nusu kabla na baada ya msalaba ambayo kwa pamoja iliwakilisha juma ambalo Kristo alithibitisha agano. Hiyo miaka mitatu na nusu pia inatambulika katika laana ya mara saba iliyotekelezwa juu ya ufalme wa Israel wa kaskazini kutoka 723 KK hadi 1798. Hiyo mara saba imegawanywa katika vipindi viwili vya elfu mia mbili na sitini, ikiwa na 538 kama sehemu ya kati. Mifano hii ya kugawa saba katika vipindi viwili vya miaka mitatu na nusu si ya nasibu; ni ya makusudi.
In the division in the week Christ confirmed the covenant the cross represents the center and in so doing it identifies Christ presenting the message in person for three and a half years, followed by His disciples presenting the message for the same period. In the seven times against the northern kingdom 538 divides the history into a period when paganism trampled down the sanctuary and host followed by papalism trampling down the sanctuary and host for the same period. In prophetic symbolism “seven” is represented with three and a half, which in turn is represented by forty-two months, three and a half days or years, twelve hundred and sixty, twenty-five twenty and a time, times and dividing of time. In context, all these figures are interchangeable.
Katika mgawanyiko wa juma ambalo Kristo alithibitisha agano, msalaba ndio kitovu, na kwa kufanya hivyo humtambua Kristo akiutangaza ujumbe yeye mwenyewe kwa miaka mitatu na nusu, kisha wanafunzi wake wakiutangaza ujumbe huo kwa kipindi hicho hicho. Katika mara saba dhidi ya ufalme wa kaskazini, mwaka 538 hugawa historia katika vipindi viwili: kwanza, kipindi ambacho upagani ulikanyaga chini patakatifu na jeshi, kisha kufuatiwa na upapa ukikanyaga chini patakatifu na jeshi kwa kipindi hicho hicho. Katika ishara za kinabii, “saba” huwakilishwa na tatu na nusu, ambayo nayo huwakilishwa na miezi arobaini na miwili, siku tatu na nusu au miaka mitatu na nusu, elfu moja mia mbili na sitini, elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini, na muda, nyakati na nusu ya muda. Katika muktadha, hesabu hizi zote zinaweza kutumiwa kwa kubadilishana.
The treaty represented between the Ptolemaic Kingdom, ruled by the descendants of Ptolemy I (a general of Alexander the Great), who controlled Egypt, and the Seleucid Empire, ruled by the descendants of Seleucus I (another of Alexander’s generals), who controlled much of the Middle East, including Syria concluded the Second Syrian War in 253 BC. The war had begun seven years before in 260 BC. Seven years after the treaty was ratified it was broken in 246 BC. Fourteen years, divided into two seven-year periods. The first half is warfare and the second half is peace. The fourteen years begin with the Second Syrian War and it ends with the Third Syrian War. This type of symmetry in history is amplified when you recognize that the history is represented in verses five through nine of chapter eleven. The treaty and its breaking are the focus of the verses and the history which fulfilled the verses.
Mkataba uliokubaliwa kati ya Ufalme wa Ptolemaia, uliotawaliwa na wazawa wa Ptolemy I (jenerali wa Aleksanda Mkuu) waliodhibiti Misri, na Dola la Seleukia, lililotawaliwa na wazawa wa Seleucus I (jenerali mwingine wa Aleksanda) waliodhibiti sehemu kubwa ya Mashariki ya Kati, ikiwemo Syria, ulimaliza Vita vya Pili vya Kisiria mnamo 253 KK. Vita hivyo vilianza miaka saba kabla, mnamo 260 KK. Miaka saba baada ya mkataba kuridhiwa, ulivunjwa mnamo 246 KK. Miaka kumi na nne, iliyogawanywa katika vipindi viwili vya miaka saba. Nusu ya kwanza ni vita na nusu ya pili ni amani. Miaka hiyo kumi na nne inaanza na Vita vya Pili vya Kisiria na inaisha na Vita vya Tatu vya Kisiria. Aina hii ya uwiano katika historia inakuwa dhahiri zaidi unapogundua kwamba historia hiyo imewasilishwa katika mistari ya tano hadi tisa ya sura ya kumi na moja. Mkataba huo na kuvunjwa kwake ndicho kiini cha mistari hiyo na historia iliyotimiza mistari hiyo.
This aligns with the papal domination from 538 to 1798. Near the end of that era, Napoleon Bonaparte entered a treaty with the Vatican. Citing the Vatican’s breach of the 1797 Treaty of Tolentino, Napoleon sent General Berthier in 1798 to take the pope captive. The pope died in France in 1799. This 1,260-year period is detailed in verses 31–39.
Hii inaendana na utawala wa kipapa kuanzia mwaka 538 hadi 1798. Karibu mwisho wa enzi hiyo, Napoleon Bonaparte aliingia mkataba na Vatikani. Akitaja Vatikani kuvunja Mkataba wa Tolentino wa 1797, Napoleon alimtuma Jenerali Berthier mwaka 1798 kwenda kumteka Papa. Papa alifariki nchini Ufaransa mwaka 1799. Kipindi hiki cha miaka 1,260 kinaelezewa kwa kina katika aya 31-39.
The history of verses 5–9 parallels that of verses 31–39, providing two witnesses within Daniel 11. Both lines share identical prophetic waymarks, revealing the dynamics between the kings of the south and north. Each period is symbolized by three and a half years, concluding with the southern king prevailing, capturing the northern king, and taking him to the southern land, where both northern kings die. In both cases, as the text states, the southern king returns with spoil:
Historia ya mistari 5–9 inashabihiana na ile ya mistari 31–39, ikitoa mashahidi wawili ndani ya Danieli 11. Mistari yote miwili zinashiriki alama za njia za kinabii zinazofanana kabisa, zikifunua mienendo kati ya wafalme wa kusini na wa kaskazini. Kila kipindi kinaashiriwa na miaka mitatu na nusu, kikihitimishwa na mfalme wa kusini kushinda, kumkamata mfalme wa kaskazini, na kumchukua hadi nchi ya kusini, ambako wafalme wote wawili wa kaskazini hufa. Katika visa vyote viwili, kama andiko linavyosema, mfalme wa kusini hurudi na nyara:
And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. Daniel 11:8.
Na pia ataichukua miungu yao mateka na kuileta Misri, pamoja na wakuu wao na vyombo vyao vya thamani vya fedha na vya dhahabu; naye atadumu miaka mingi zaidi kuliko mfalme wa kaskazini. Danieli 11:8.
For Ptolemy, this was treasure previously looted by the northern king; for Napoleon, it was the Vatican’s riches plundered and taken to France. These two lines of witness indicate that the northern king’s death is symbolized by falling from a horse. In Revelation 17, the woman riding the beast represents the Catholic Church:
Kwa Ptolemy, hii ilikuwa hazina iliyokuwa imeporwa hapo awali na mfalme wa kaskazini; kwa Napoleon, ilikuwa utajiri wa Vatikani ulioporwa na kuchukuliwa hadi Ufaransa. Vyanzo hivi viwili vya ushuhuda vinaonyesha kwamba kifo cha mfalme wa kaskazini kinaashiriwa na kuanguka kutoka juu ya farasi. Katika Ufunuo 17, mwanamke ampandaye mnyama anawakilisha Kanisa Katoliki:
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. Revelation 17:3.
Basi akanichukua katika Roho akanipeleka nyikani; nikamwona mwanamke ameketi juu ya mnyama mwekundu, amejaa majina ya makufuru, mwenye vichwa saba na pembe kumi. Ufunuo 17:3.
The beast she rides is the United Nations. Revelation 17 describes her restoration to power after the deadly wound of 1798. As the eighth kingdom, she resumes her reign, symbolized by riding the beast:
Mnyama anayempanda ni Umoja wa Mataifa. Ufunuo 17 unaelezea kurejeshwa kwake madarakani baada ya jeraha la mauti la mwaka 1798. Kama ufalme wa nane, anarejea kutawala, ikiashiriwa kwa kumpanda yule mnyama:
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:18.
Na yule mwanamke uliyemwona ni mji ule mkubwa, unaotawala juu ya wafalme wa dunia. Ufunuo 17:18.
The deadly wound of 1798 was prefigured in verses 5–9 when the northern king fell from a horse and died. These two lines in Daniel 11 run parallel to verses 41–45. The Sunday law in the USA, marked in verse 41, begins the papacy’s final ride on the beast—a period reflected in these two lines. When Ellen White notes that “much of the history” fulfilled in Daniel 11 “will be repeated,” verses 5–9 and 31–39 align with verses 41–45.
Jeraha la mauti la mwaka 1798 liliashiriwa katika mistari ya 5-9 wakati mfalme wa kaskazini alianguka kutoka juu ya farasi na akafa. Mistari hii miwili katika Danieli 11 inaenda sambamba na mistari ya 41-45. Sheria ya Jumapili nchini USA, iliyoainishwa katika mstari wa 41, inaanza safari ya mwisho ya upapa juu ya mnyama - kipindi kinachoakisiwa katika mistari hii miwili. Ellen White anapotaja kwamba "sehemu kubwa ya historia" iliyotimizwa katika Danieli 11 "itarudiwa," mistari ya 5-9 na 31-39 inawiana na mistari ya 41-45.
Only Verse Forty
Aya ya arobaini pekee
From verse 31 to 45, only verse 40 stands outside the prophetic period of three and a half days. It represents a unique history within the final third of Daniel’s 45 verses. In verse 16, the history of pagan Imperial Rome unfolds through four rulers—Pompey, Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, and Tiberius Caesar. Augustus’s victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC began Imperial Rome’s 360-year rule, fulfilling the “time” in verse 24:
Kuanzia aya ya 31 hadi 45, ni aya ya 40 pekee iliyo nje ya kipindi cha kinabii cha siku tatu na nusu. Inawakilisha historia ya kipekee ndani ya theluthi ya mwisho ya aya 45 za Danieli. Katika aya ya 16, historia ya Roma ya Kifalme ya kipagani hufunuliwa kupitia watawala wanne-Pompey, Julius Kaisari, Augustus Kaisari, na Tiberius Kaisari. Ushindi wa Augustus katika Vita vya Actium mnamo 31 KK ulianzisha utawala wa miaka 360 wa Roma ya Kifalme, ukitimiza "muda" katika aya ya 24:
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.
Ataingia kwa amani hata katika sehemu za unono zaidi za mkoa; naye atafanya yale ambayo baba zake hawakuyafanya, wala babu zake; atazigawanyia miongoni mwao nyara, ngawira, na mali; naam, atapanga mashauri yake dhidi ya ngome imara, hata kwa muda. Danieli 11:24.
After Actium, Rome made Egypt a province in 30 BC. Three hundred and sixty years later, in 330, Constantine moved the empire’s capital from Rome to Constantinople. This “time” aligns prophetically with the 1,260 years of papal rule and the 7 years of verses 5–9.
Baada ya Actium, Roma iliifanya Misri kuwa mkoa mnamo mwaka 30 KK. Miaka mia tatu na sitini baadaye, mnamo mwaka 330, Konstantino alihamisha mji mkuu wa dola kutoka Roma hadi Konstantinopoli. "Wakati" huu unalingana kinabii na miaka 1,260 ya utawala wa kipapa na miaka 7 ya aya 5-9.
From verse 16, pagan Imperial Rome dominates until verse 30, encompassing the Maccabees’ league with Rome and the line of Christ. Yet, verses 16–30 align with verses 31–39 and 41–45. Thus, in the last 30 verses of Daniel 11, a consistent prophetic line emerges—except for verse 40, where the “time of the end” is marked in 1798 and 1989.
Kuanzia aya ya 16, Dola la Kirumi la kipagani linatawala hadi aya ya 30, likijumuisha muungano wa Wamakabayo na Roma na nasaba ya Kristo. Hata hivyo, aya 16-30 zinaendana na aya 31-39 na 41-45. Hivyo, katika aya 30 za mwisho za Danieli 11, mfululizo thabiti wa kinabii unaibuka, isipokuwa aya ya 40, ambako "wakati wa mwisho" unabainishwa mwaka 1798 na 1989.
With minor exceptions in verses 2 and 3—where the final of eight presidents transitions to control the ten kings of the United Nations—the first two verses align with verse 40, representing the Sunday law and the shift from the sixth to the seventh and eighth kingdoms. Verses 3 and 4 align with verse 45 and Daniel 12:1, depicting the rise and fall of the Grecian kingdom, paralleling the papacy’s establishment and demise in verses 41 through Daniel 12:1. Both the woman and the beast she rides end with no help, framing the beginning and end of Daniel 11 outside verse 40’s history. Alexander the Great symbolizes the United Nations, fornicating with the whore of Tyre (the king of the north from verse 41 onward), who is both the beast and the dragon.
Pamoja na tofauti ndogo katika aya ya 2 na 3—ambapo wa mwisho kati ya marais wanane anapohamia kwenye udhibiti wa wafalme kumi wa Umoja wa Mataifa—aya mbili za kwanza zinaambatana na aya ya 40, zikionyesha sheria ya Jumapili na mpito kutoka ufalme wa sita hadi wa saba na wa nane. Aya ya 3 na 4 zinaambatana na aya ya 45 na Danieli 12:1, zikionyesha kuinuka na kuanguka kwa ufalme wa Kigiriki, sambamba na kuanzishwa na kuanguka kwa upapa katika aya ya 41 hadi Danieli 12:1. Mwanamke na mnyama anayempanda wote wawili huishia bila msaada, wakiunda mipaka ya mwanzo na mwisho wa Danieli 11 nje ya historia ya aya ya 40. Aleksanda Mkuu anawakilisha Umoja wa Mataifa, akizini na kahaba wa Tiro (mfalme wa kaskazini kuanzia aya ya 41 na kuendelea), ambaye pia ni mnyama na joka.
Verses Nine and Ten
Aya ya Tisa na ya Kumi
Verses 5–9 conclude at the time of the end in 1798, while verse 10 marks 1989. Thus, the span between verses 9 and 10—from 1798 to 1989—represents the revealed portion of verse 40, initiating its hidden history. To clarify: nearly every verse in Daniel 11 reflects the papacy’s rule from 538 to 1798. Verse 40 covers 1798 to the Sunday law in the USA. Verses 6–9 typify the papal era, while verse 10 foreshadows the USSR’s collapse in 1989. Therefore, verses 11–15 span from 1989 to the Sunday law, as represented in verses 16, 31, and 41.
Aya 5-9 zinahitimia katika wakati wa mwisho mwaka 1798, wakati aya 10 inaashiria mwaka 1989. Hivyo, kipindi kati ya aya 9 na 10 - kuanzia 1798 hadi 1989 - kinawakilisha sehemu iliyofunuliwa ya aya 40, na kuanzisha historia yake iliyofichika. Ili kufafanua: karibu kila aya katika Danieli 11 inaakisi utawala wa upapa kuanzia 538 hadi 1798. Aya 40 inahusu kipindi cha 1798 hadi sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani. Aya 6-9 zinawakilisha kwa mfano enzi ya upapa, ilhali aya 10 inaashiria anguko la USSR mwaka 1989. Kwa hiyo, aya 11-15 zinachukua kipindi cha 1989 hadi sheria ya Jumapili, kama inavyowakilishwa katika aya 16, 31, na 41.
Verse 40 is divided into two parts. The first, from 1798 to 1989, begins and ends with a “time of the end.” The second half begins in 1989, where the first half concludes. Verses 1 and 2 identify a sequence of presidents starting in 1989, aligning with the second part of verse 40. Verse 11 marks the onset of the Ukraine war in 2014, while verse 12 highlights the consequences the victorious king of the south brings upon himself. Verse 13 nears fulfillment, but here we note that verse 11 falls within the second part of verse 40—post-1989, yet pre-Sunday law (verse 41).
Aya ya 40 imegawanywa katika sehemu mbili. Ya kwanza, kutoka 1798 hadi 1989, inaanza na pia kuhitimishwa na “wakati wa mwisho.” Nusu ya pili inaanza mwaka 1989, pale ambapo nusu ya kwanza inamalizika. Aya za 1 na 2 zinaonyesha mfululizo wa marais unaoanzia mwaka 1989, unaolingana na sehemu ya pili ya aya ya 40. Aya ya 11 inaashiria mwanzo wa vita vya Ukraine mwaka 2014, ilhali aya ya 12 inaangazia matokeo ambayo mfalme wa kusini aliyeshinda anajiletea mwenyewe. Aya ya 13 inakaribia kutimia, lakini hapa tunabaini kwamba aya ya 11 iko ndani ya sehemu ya pili ya aya ya 40—baada ya 1989, lakini kabla ya sheria ya Jumapili (aya ya 41).
Verses 13–15 point to the Battle of Panium in 200 BC, the year pagan Rome began exerting influence over human affairs, tied to that battle. Occurring well before Pompey’s entry into Jerusalem in verse 16, it provides historical evidence identifying verse 41 as the Sunday law in the USA.
Mistari ya 13-15 inaashiria Vita vya Panium mwaka 200 K.K., mwaka ambao Roma ya kipagani ilianza kuathiri mambo ya wanadamu, na hilo linahusishwa na vita hivyo. Tukio hilo lilitokea muda mrefu kabla ya kuingia kwa Pompey mjini Yerusalemu katika mstari wa 16, na linatoa ushahidi wa kihistoria unaotambua mstari wa 41 kuwa sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani.
Every prophetic line and its historical fulfillment in Daniel 11 lies either within verse 40’s history (1798 to the Sunday law) or from verse 41 to Daniel 12:1. Of the 45 verses, verses 1, 2, 7–15, and 40—totaling twelve—apply to verse 40’s timeline when layered line upon line. Verse 40 splits into two segments at 1989. Verses 1, 2, and 10–15 align with its second half. Verses 1 and 2 trace the line of presidents in the earth beast’s history, while verses 10–15 depict three proxy wars orchestrated by the king of the north (the papal power) from 1989 to the Sunday law. The three proxy wars begin with the United States, identified in verse 40 as “chariots, ships and horsemen.”
Kila mstari wa kinabii na utimizaji wake wa kihistoria katika Danieli 11 upo ama ndani ya historia ya aya ya 40 (1798 hadi sheria ya Jumapili) au kuanzia aya ya 41 hadi Danieli 12:1. Kati ya aya 45, aya 1, 2, 7-15, na 40—jumla yake kumi na mbili—zinahusu mlolongo wa wakati wa aya ya 40 zinapowekwa mstari juu ya mstari. Aya ya 40 inagawanyika katika sehemu mbili mnamo 1989. Aya 1, 2, na 10-15 zinaambatana na nusu yake ya pili. Aya 1 na 2 zinafuatilia mfululizo wa marais katika historia ya mnyama wa nchi, ilhali aya 10-15 zinaonyesha vita vitatu vya uwakilishi vilivyoandaliwa na mfalme wa kaskazini (nguvu ya kipapa) kuanzia 1989 hadi sheria ya Jumapili. Vita hivyo vitatu vya uwakilishi vinaanza na Marekani, inayotambuliwa katika aya ya 40 kuwa "magari ya vita, merikebu na wapanda farasi."
