As we begin to consider the typification of the time of the end in 1989, by the prophetic history of verse ten, it is necessary to drop back into the history of the third generation of both horns of the earth beast. In 1913, the earth beast’s horn of Republicanism began its generation of compromise with the globalist banking system, and in 1919, the horn of true Protestantism began its generation of compromise with the theologians of apostate Protestantism and also the American Medical Association as it surrendered the accreditation of its educational system to the world. Both horns began a compromised relationship with the world that would change the direction of their respective messages from that point onward.

Njengoko siqalisa ukuqwalasela ukufuziselwa kwexesha lesiphelo ngonyaka ka-1989, ngembali yesiprofeto yevesi yeshumi, kuyimfuneko ukubuyela emva kwimbali yesizukulwana sesithathu seempondo zombini zerhamncwa lomhlaba. Ngo-1913, uphondo lwerhamncwa lomhlaba lweRiphabhlikhanizim lwaqalisa isizukulwana salo sokuyekelelana nenkqubo yebhanki yehlabathi, yaye ngo-1919, uphondo loBuProtestanti bokwenyaniso lwaqalisa isizukulwana salo sokuyekelelana neengcali zemfundiso yobuThixo zobuProtestanti obuwileyo kwakunye neAmerican Medical Association njengoko lalinikela uqinisekiso lwenkqubo yalo yemfundo ehlabathini. Zombini iimpondo zaqalisa ubudlelwane bokuyekelelana nehlabathi obabuzakuguqula icala lemiyalezo yazo nganye ukusukela kuloo ndawo ukuya phambili.

In that history the starting point for the king of the north, and the king of the south of the last days also reached a turning point. The Miracle of Fatima occurred on October 13, 1917, in Fatima, Portugal. It was the culmination of a series of Marian apparitions witnessed by three young shepherd children: Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto. According to the accounts provided by the children, the Virgin Mary, identified as Our Lady of Fatima, appeared to them on the 13th day of each month from May to October 1917.

Kulo mbali yembali indawo yokuqalisa kakumkani wasentla, yaye nokumkani wasemazantsi wemihla yokugqibela wafikelela kwindawo yokujika. UMangaliso waseFatima wenzeka ngomhla we-13 ku-Oktobha 1917, eFatima, ePortugal. Wawusisigqibo sothotho lokubonakala kukaMariya olwabonwa ngabantwana abathathu abancinane abangabelusi: uLucia dos Santos kunye nabazala bakhe uFrancisco noJacinta Marto. Ngokweengxelo ezinikelwe ngaba bantwana, iNtombi uMariya, echongwe njengeNkosikazi Yethu yaseFatima, yabonakala kubo ngomhla we-13 wenyanga nganye ukusukela ngoMeyi ukuya kuOktobha 1917.

During the final apparition on October 13, 1917, tens of thousands of people gathered at the Cova da Iria, near Fatima, expecting to witness a miracle as predicted by the children. According to the witnesses, the sun appeared to change colors, spin, and dance in the sky. This event came to be known as the Miracle of the Sun or the Miracle of Fatima.

Ngexesha lokubonakala kokugqibela ngo-Oktobha 13, 1917, amashumi amawaka abantu ahlanganisana eCova da Iria, kufuphi neFatima, elindele ukubona ummangaliso njengoko kwakuxelwe kwangaphambili ngabantwana. Ngokobungqina bamangqina, ilanga labonakala litshintsha imibala, lijikeleza, lize lidanise esibhakabhakeni. Esi siganeko saziwa ngokuba nguMmangaliso weLanga okanye uMmangaliso waseFatima.

The Miracle of Fatima is a significant event in Catholic history and devotion, and it has been the subject of much study, debate, and religious interpretation over the years. The events at Fatima have had a lasting impact on popular piety, Marian devotion, and the interpretation of apocalyptic themes within the Catholic Church.

Ummangaliso waseFatima sisiganeko esibalulekileyo kwimbali nakukuzinikela kweCawa yamaKatolika, yaye kule minyaka idlulileyo uye waba ngumxholo wophando oluninzi, wengxoxo-mpikiswano, nowotoliko lwenkolo. Iziganeko zaseFatima zibe nempembelelo ehlala ihleli kubungcwele obuthandwayo ngabantu, ekuzinikeleni kuMariya, nakutoliko lwemixholo yeapokalipsi ngaphakathi kweCawa yamaKatolika.

The Bolshevik Revolution occurred in Russia on November 7, 1917, when Bolshevik forces, led by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik Party, seized key government buildings and infrastructure in Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg). This event marked the culmination of the Russian Revolution of 1917, which had begun with the February Revolution earlier in the year that led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the establishment of a provisional government.

Uvukelo lwamaBolshevik lwenzeka eRashiya ngomhla we-7 kuNovemba 1917, xa imikhosi yamaBolshevik, ikhokelwa nguVladimir Lenin neQela lamaBolshevik, yathimba izakhiwo eziphambili zorhulumente neziseko zophuhliso ePetrograd (ngoku eyiSaint Petersburg). Esi sehlo sabonisa ukufikelela esiphelweni koVukelo lwaseRashiya luka-1917, olwaqala ngoVukelo lukaFebruwari ekuqaleni kwaloo nyaka olwakhokelela ekurhoxisweni etroneni kukaTsar Nicholas II nasekumiselweni korhulumente wexeshana.

During the Revolution, the Bolsheviks successfully overthrew the provisional government and established Soviet control over Russia. The Bolsheviks proclaimed the establishment of a socialist state and began implementing their revolutionary program, including the nationalization of industry, land redistribution, and the withdrawal of Russia from World War I. The October Revolution ultimately led to the creation of the Soviet Union and had profound and far-reaching consequences for Russia and the world, shaping the course of 20th-century history.

Ngexesha loVukelo, amaBolshevik ayibhukuqa ngempumelelo urhulumente wethutyana aza amisela ulawulo lwamaSoviet phezu kweRashiya. AmaBolshevik avakalisa ukumiselwa korhulumente wobusoshiyali aza aqalisa ukuphumeza inkqubo yawo yovukelo, kuquka ukwenziwa kwamashishini abe ngawesizwe, ukwabiwa ngokutsha komhlaba, nokurhoxiswa kweRashiya kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi I. UVukelo lwango-Oktobha ekugqibeleni lwakhokelela ekudalweni kweSoviet Union yaye lwaba neziphumo ezinzulu nezifikelela kude kwiRashiya nakwihlabathi, lwalolula indlela yembali yenkulungwane yama-20.

Jesus illustrates the end with the beginning, and in order to fully see the king of the north and the king of the south of the last days, it is necessary to understand their beginnings. The literal kings of the south and the north that are identified in Daniel chapter eleven are defined as the power that rules the literal area of Egypt as the king of the south, and the power that rules the literal geographical area associated with Babylon as the king of the north.

UYesu ubonakalisa isiphelo ngesiqalo, yaye ukuze kubonakale ngokupheleleyo ukumkani wasemntla nokumkani wasemazantsi wemihla yokugqibela, kuyimfuneko ukuqonda iziqalo zabo. Ookumkani bokwenyani basemazantsi nabasemntla abachongwa kuDaniyeli isahluko seshumi elinanye bachazwa njengamandla alawula ummandla wokwenyani waseYiputa njengokumkani wasemazantsi, namandla alawula ummandla wejografi wokwenyani onxulumene neBhabheli njengokumkani wasemntla.

Literal prophecy transitioned to spiritual prophecy in the time of the cross, when ancient literal Israel was transitioning to modern spiritual Israel. Literal pagan Rome trampled down literal Jerusalem for three and a half literal years from 67 AD unto 70 AD, and spiritual papal Rome trampled down spiritual Jerusalem for three and a half spiritual years.

Isiprofeto esingokoqobo satshintshela kwisiprofeto esingokomoya ngexesha lomnqamlezo, xa uSirayeli wamandulo ongokoqobo wayesatshintshela kuSirayeli wanamhlanje ongokomoya. IRoma yobuhedeni engokoqobo yalunyathela uYerusalem ongokoqobo iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha engokoqobo ukususela ngowama-67 AD ukuya kutsho ngowama-70 AD, yaye iRoma yobupopu engokomoya yalunyathela uYerusalem ongokomoya iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha engokomoya.

Spiritual Babylon is identified in Revelation chapter seventeen, as the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. Spiritual Egypt is identified in Revelation chapter eleven as atheistic France. The modern manifestations of the spiritual king of the north, that received its deadly wound at the time of the end in 1798 and then retaliated against the modern manifestation of the spiritual king of the south at the time of the end in 1989, are both represented in verse forty of Daniel eleven. Both powers have their origins in their last day manifestation in the 1917 to 1918 time frame, which is the same time frame as the generation of compromise for both horns of the earth beast. Those beginnings must be recognized to rightly apply the endings. The beginnings of the last day kings of the north and south both start at the French Revolution.

IBhabheli yokomoya ichazwa kwisiTyhilelo isahluko seshumi elinesixhenxe, njengomahenyu owenza uhenyuzo nookumkani bomhlaba. IYiputa yokomoya ichazwa kwisiTyhilelo isahluko seshumi elinanye njengeFransi engakholelwayo kuThixo. Iimbonakalo zale mihla zokumkani wokomoya wasemntla, owafumana inxeba lakhe elibulalayo ngexesha lesiphelo ngowe-1798, waza ke wabuyisela ngokuhlasela kwimbonakalo yale mihla yokumkani wokomoya wasemzantsi ngexesha lesiphelo ngowe-1989, zombini zimelwe kwindima yamashumi amane kaDaniyeli 11. Omabini la magunya anemvelaphi yawo kwimbalasane yawo yemihla yokugqibela kwisithuba sexesha sika-1917 ukuya ku-1918, esisiso kwakhona isithuba sexesha sesizukulwana sokuyekelelana kweempondo zombini zerhamncwa lomhlaba. Ezo ziqalo kufuneka ziqondwe ukuze iziphelo zisetyenziswe ngokuchanekileyo. Iziqalo zookumkani basemntla nabasemzantsi bemihla yokugqibela zombini ziqala kwiNguquko yaseFransi.

“In the sixteenth century the Reformation, presenting an open Bible to the people, had sought admission to all the countries of Europe. Some nations welcomed it with gladness, as a messenger of Heaven. In other lands the papacy succeeded to a great extent in preventing its entrance; and the light of Bible knowledge, with its elevating influences, was almost wholly excluded. In one country, though the light found entrance, it was not comprehended by the darkness. For centuries, truth and error struggled for the mastery. At last the evil triumphed, and the truth of Heaven was thrust out. ‘This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light.’ John 3:19. The nation was left to reap the results of the course which she had chosen. The restraint of God’s Spirit was removed from a people that had despised the gift of His grace. Evil was permitted to come to maturity. And all the world saw the fruit of willful rejection of the light.

“Ngenkulungwane yeshumi elinesithandathu uHlaziyo, luzisa iBhayibhile evulekileyo ebantwini, lwafuna ukwamkelwa kuwo onke amazwe aseYurophu. Ezinye iintlanga zalwamkela ngovuyo, njengomthunywa waseZulwini. Kwamanye amazwe ubupopu baphumelela kakhulu ekuthinteleni ukungena kwalo; yaye ukukhanya kolwazi lweBhayibhile, kunye neempembelelo zalo eziphakamisayo, kwaphantse kwagxothwa ngokupheleleyo. Kwelinye ilizwe, nangona ukukhanya kwangena, abumnyama abazange bakuqonde. Kangangeenkulungwane, inyaniso nempazamo zalwa zifuna ukongamela. Ekugqibeleni ububi boyisa, yaye inyaniso yaseZulwini yagxothelwa ngaphandle. ‘Nasi ke isigwebo, ukuba ukukhanya kufikile ehlabathini, baza abantu bathanda ubumnyama ngaphezu kokukhanya.’ Yohane 3:19. Isizwe sashiywa sivune iziphumo zendlela esasiyikhethile. Uthintelo loMoya kaThixo lwasuswa ebantwini ababewudelile umnikelo wobabalo lwaKhe. Ububi bavunyelwa ukuba bufikelele ekuvuthweni kwabo. Yaye ihlabathi lonke layibona imbewu yesiqhamo sokulahla ngabom ukukhanya.”

“The war against the Bible, carried forward for so many centuries in France, culminated in the scenes of the Revolution. That terrible outbreaking was but the legitimate result of Rome’s suppression of the Scriptures. It presented the most striking illustration which the world has ever witnessed of the working out of the papal policy—an illustration of the results to which for more than a thousand years the teaching of the Roman Church had been tending.

“Imfazwe nxamnye neBhayibhile, eyaqhutywa kangangeenkulungwane ezininzi eFransi, yaphelela kwimiboniso yeNguquko. Oko kuqhuma koyikekayo kwakungeyonto yimbi ngaphandle kwesiphumo esisemthethweni sokucinezela kweRoma iziBhalo. Kwabonisa owona mzekeliso ubalaseleyo ihlabathi elakha lawubona wokusebenza komgaqo-nkqubo wobupopu—umzekeliso weziphumo ekwakusele ngaphezu kweminyaka eliwaka iimfundiso zeCawa yaseRoma zisiya kuzo.”

“The suppression of the Scriptures during the period of papal supremacy was foretold by the prophets; and the Revelator points also to the terrible results that were to accrue especially to France from the domination of the ‘man of sin.’” The Great Controversy, 265, 266.

“Ukucinezelwa kweZibhalo ngexesha lolawulo oluphezulu lobupopu kwakuxelwe kwangaphambili ngabaprofeti; yaye noMtyhili ukwalatha kwiziphumo ezoyikekayo ezaziza kubakho, ngokukodwa eFransi, ngenxa yolawulo ‘lwendoda yesono.’” Imbambano Enkulu, 265, 266.

The French Revolution was produced by the suppression of the Scriptures “during the period of papal supremacy.” The birth of atheism, which was to become the archenemy of the papacy, was brought about by the papacy itself. The French Revolution took place from 1789 to 1799, but the atheistic revolutionary spirit that began in France continued to spread across Europe and beyond. One-hundred eighteen years after the end of the revolution in France, the Russian Revolution began in Russia. The revolution of atheism that began in France, ended in Russia, and in 1917 Russia became the prophetic representative of the nation symbolized by the atheism of Egypt. The dragon power represented as the king of the south had migrated from France to Russia.

Uguquko lwaseFransi lwaveliswa kukucinezelwa kweZibhalo “ngexesha lolawulo oluphezulu lobupopu.” Ukuzalwa kobungakholelwa kuThixo, obabunokuthi bube lutshaba olukhulu lobupopu, kwabangelwa bubupopu ngokwalo. Uguquko lwaseFransi lwenzeka ukusuka ngowe-1789 ukuya kowe-1799, kodwa umoya woguquko olungakholelwayo kuThixo, owaqala eFransi, waqhubeka usasazeka kulo lonke elaseYurophu nangaphaya. Iminyaka elikhulu elineshumi elinesibhozo emva kokuphela koguquko eFransi, uGuquko lwaseRashiya lwaqalisa eRashiya. Uguquko lobungakholelwa kuThixo, olwaqala eFransi, lwaphelela eRashiya, yaye ngowe-1917 iRashiya yaba ngummeli wesiprofeto wohlanga olufuziselwa bubungakholelwa kuThixo baseYiputa. Amandla enamba amelwe njengokumkani wasemazantsi ayesuke eFransi aya eRashiya.

The revolution in France was represented politically and prophetically by Napoleon Bonaparte, and in that sense, Napoleon represents the first leader of a nation established in a revolution brought about by the atheism of Egypt. The narcissism of Napoleon is fitly repeated by the narcissism of Putin.

Uvukelo lwaseFransi lwamelwa kwezopolitiko nangokwesiprofeto nguNapoleon Bonaparte, yaye ngaloo ndlela, uNapoleon umele inkokeli yokuqala yesizwe esamiselwa kuvukelo olwaluziswe bubungakholelwa kuThixo baseYiputa. Ukuzithanda kukaNapoleon kuphindaphindwa ngokufaneleyo kukuzithanda kukaPutin.

Napoleon was keenly aware of the power of imagery and propaganda, as is Putin, who was a former KGB officer. The KGB specializes in propaganda. Napoleon used portraiture as a means of projecting his authority, power, and image of leadership to the public. He commissioned portraits from some of the most celebrated artists of his time, including Jacques-Louis David, Antoine-Jean Gros, and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, among others.

UNapoleon wayeqonda ngokunzulu amandla emifanekiso nobuxoki-boluntu, njengoko kunjalo nangoPutin, owayesakuba ligosa leKGB. I-KGB yaziwa ngokukodwa ngobuchule bayo kubuxoki-boluntu. UNapoleon wasebenzisa imizobo yobuso njengendlela yokubonakalisa igunya lakhe, amandla akhe, nomfanekiso wakhe wobunkokeli eluntwini. Wathuma ukuba kwenziwe imizobo yakhe ngabanye babaculi ababehlonitshwa kakhulu ngexesha lakhe, kuquka uJacques-Louis David, uAntoine-Jean Gros, noJean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, kwakunye nabanye.

These portraits depicted Napoleon in various poses and settings, ranging from official state portraits to more informal scenes. They served not only as personal mementos for Napoleon himself but also as tools for spreading his image and influence both domestically and internationally. Putin has accomplished the identical work for himself, with a multitude of pictures of himself in settings that rival any of the modern influencers on the Internet.

Le mizobo yabonisa uNapoleon kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuma nakwiimeko ezahlukeneyo, isusela kwimifanekiso esemthethweni yesizwe ukuya kwimiboniso engacwangcisekanga kangako. Yayingengomikhumbuzo yobuqu kaNapoleon ngokwakhe kuphela, kodwa yayikwasisixhobo sokusasaza umfanekiso wakhe nempembelelo yakhe ngaphakathi elizweni nakumazwe ngamazwe. UPutin uzenzele kanye lo msebenzi mnye, enentlaninge yemifanekiso yakhe kwiimeko ezikhuphisana nayo nayiphi na eyabaphembeleli bale mihla kwi-Intanethi.

At the beginning of the French Revolution the king, his family and staff were overthrown and executed. At the beginning of the Russian Revolution the Czar, his family and staff were overthrown and executed. The revolution that began in France culminated in Russia. The French Revolution is the subject of the prophecy of chapter eleven of Revelation, and therefore the French Revolution is subject to the rules of prophetic interpretation. Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing, so the Russian Revolution is the end of the French Revolution.

Ekuqaleni kweNguquko yaseFransi ukumkani, intsapho yakhe nabasebenzi bakhe babhukuqwa baza babulawa. Ekuqaleni kweNguquko yaseRashiya uTsha, intsapho yakhe nabasebenzi bakhe babhukuqwa baza babulawa. INguquko yaseFransi eyaqala eFransi yaphelela eRashiya. INguquko yaseFransi ngumxholo wesiprofeto sesahluko seshumi elinanye seSityhilelo, yaye ke ngoko iNguquko yaseFransi iphantsi kwemithetho yokutolika iziprofeto. UYesu usoloko ebonakalisa isiphelo sento ngesiqalo sento, ngoko iNguquko yaseRashiya sisiphelo seNguquko yaseFransi.

Vladimir Putin represents the last leader of a nation established in a revolution brought about with the atheism of Egypt. The first leader of Russia was Vladimir Lenin. The name “Vladimir” is of Slavic origin and is composed of two elements: “vlad” and “mir.” “Vlad” is derived from the Slavic root “vladeti,” which means “to rule” or to wield power. “Mir” means “world”. The first Vladimir (Lenin) typifies the last Vladimir (Putin), who is also typified by the first leader of the revolution of atheism (Napoleon).

UVladimir Putin umele inkokeli yokugqibela yesizwe esasekwa ngovukelo olaziswa kubakho kukungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo kweYiputa. Inkokeli yokuqala yaseRashiya yayinguVladimir Lenin. Igama elithi “Vladimir” livela kwimvelaphi yesiSlavic yaye lenziwe zizinto ezimbini: “vlad” no “mir.” “Vlad” lisuka kwingcambu yesiSlavic ethi “vladeti,” ethetha “ukulawula” okanye ukusebenzisa amandla. “Mir” lithetha “ihlabathi”. UVladimir wokuqala (uLenin) umele ngokomfuziselo uVladimir wokugqibela (uPutin), okwangumfuziselo okhankanywa yinkokeli yokuqala yovukelo lokungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo (uNapoleon).

After Napoleon’s defeat in the War of the Sixth Coalition and the Treaty of Fontainebleau in April 1814, he abdicated the throne of France and was exiled to the Mediterranean island of Elba. He was granted sovereignty over the island and allowed to retain the title of Emperor, albeit in a much-reduced capacity. Napoleon spent around ten months on Elba, during which he made plans to return to power in France. Following his escape from Elba and his brief return to power in France during the Hundred Days, Napoleon was decisively defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815. After this defeat the Allied powers, particularly Great Britain, were determined to prevent Napoleon from causing any further trouble. Consequently, he was exiled again, this time to the remote island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic. Napoleon spent the remainder of his life in exile on Saint Helena until his death in 1821.

Emva kokoyiswa kukaNapoleon kwiMfazwe yoManyano lweSithandathu nangesiVumelwano saseFontainebleau ngoAprili 1814, wasilahla isihlalo sobukumkani saseFransi waza wagxothelwa kwisiqithi saseElba kuLwandle lweMeditera. Wanikwa ulawulo olupheleleyo phezu kweso siqithi waza wavunyelwa ukuba agcine isihloko sikaMlawuli, nangona kunjalo amandla akhe aye ancitshiswe kakhulu. UNapoleon wachitha malunga neenyanga ezilishumi eElba, ngeli xesha wenza izicwangciso zokubuyela emandleni eFransi. Emva kokusaba kwakhe eElba nokubuyela kwakhe ngokufutshane emandleni eFransi ngexesha leentsuku ezilikhulu, uNapoleon woyiswa ngokugqibeleleyo kwiDabi laseWaterloo ngoJuni 1815. Emva kolu loyiso, amagunya amaManyeneyo, ingakumbi iBritane Enkulu, azimisela ukuthintela uNapoleon ekubangeleni nayiphi na enye inkathazo. Ngenxa yoko, wagxothelwa kwakhona, ngeli thuba kwisiqithi esikude saseSaint Helena kuMzantsi weAtlantiki. UNapoleon wachitha intsalela yobomi bakhe ekuthinjweni eSaint Helena de kwasekufeni kwakhe ngo-1821.

Putin is a representative of the old guard KGB. The KGB was the main security agency and intelligence agency of the Soviet Union from 1954 until its dissolution in 1991. It was responsible for internal security, counterintelligence, and intelligence gathering, both domestically and internationally. The KGB was known for its extensive network of spies, surveillance operations, and its role in maintaining the Communist regime’s control over the population. Vladimir Putin was a member of the KGB (Committee for State Security), the main security and intelligence agency of the Soviet Union.

UPutin ngummeli womgca omdala we-KGB. I-KGB yayiyeyona arhente iphambili yokhuseleko neyobuntlola yeSoviet Union ukususela ngowe-1954 de kwaba kukuchithwa kwayo ngowe-1991. Yayinoxanduva lokhuseleko lwangaphakathi, ubuntlola obuchasene nobuntlola, nokuqokelelwa kolwazi lobuntlola, ngaphakathi elizweni nakumazwe angaphandle. I-KGB yayisaziwa ngothungelwano lwayo olubanzi lweentlola, imisebenzi yokubeka iliso, nendima yayo ekugcineni ulawulo lwerhuluneli yamaKomanisi phezu kwabemi. UVladimir Putin wayelilungu le-KGB (Committee for State Security), eyayiyeyona arhente iphambili yokhuseleko nobuntlola yeSoviet Union.

Putin joined the KGB in 1975 after graduating from Leningrad State University. Putin worked for the KGB until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, after which he entered politics and eventually became the President of Russia in 2000. His background in the KGB has had a significant influence on his approach to governance and foreign policy. Napoleon’s first exile on the Island of Elba, represents the history of 1991 until the year 2000, when the philosophy of the KGB returned. When Putin is eventually defeated, as represented in verses thirteen to fifteen, that second defeat (the first being 1989), is typified by Waterloo and Napoleon’s second exile, where he died.

UPutin wajoyina i-KGB ngowe-1975 emva kokuphumelela kwakhe kwiYunivesithi kaRhulumente yaseLeningrad. UPutin wasebenzela i-KGB de kwangokuwa koManyano lwaseSoviet ngowe-1991, emva koko wangena kwezopolitiko waza ekugqibeleni waba nguMongameli waseRashiya ngowe-2000. Imvelaphi yakhe kwi-KGB ibe nempembelelo enkulu kwindlela yakhe yokulawula nakumgaqo-nkqubo wakhe wezangaphandle. Ukuthinjwa kokuqala kukaNapoleon esiqithini sase-Elba kumela imbali yowe-1991 de kube ngumnyaka ka-2000, xa intanda-bulumko ye-KGB yabuyayo. Xa uPutin ekugqibeleni oyisiwe, njengoko kumelwe ziivesi zeshumi elinesithathu ukuya kweleshumi elinesihlanu, olo loyiso lwesibini (olokuqala lwalungo-1989), lumfuziselwa yiWaterloo nokuthinjwa kwesibini kukaNapoleon, apho wafela khona.

Napoleon delivered the deadly wound to the papacy in 1798 and 1799. In 1799 the French Revolution ended in France, but by 1917 it had reached Russia in the Bolshevik Revolution. In 1917 the miracle of Fatima took place in Portugal, and the three children who supposedly communicated with Mary and Joseph were given three secret messages. The three messages were secret in the sense they were only to be read by the pope, the king of the north. The messages directed the pope to call a special meeting with the leaders of the Catholic Church and hold a special ceremony in order to dedicate Russia, which had just become communist Russia the year before, to the virgin Mary.

UNapoleon wanika ubupopu inxeba elibulalayo ngowe-1798 nowe-1799. Ngowe-1799, uHlaziyo lwaseFransi lwaphela eFransi, kodwa ngowe-1917 lwalufikelele eRashiya ngoHlaziyo lwamaBolshevik. Ngowe-1917 ummangaliso waseFatima wenzeka ePortugal, yaye abantwana abathathu ekwakusithiwa banxibelelana noMariya noYosefu banikwa izigidimi ezintathu eziyimfihlo. Ezo zigidimi zintathu zaziyimfihlo ngengqiqo yokuba zazimele ukufundwa kuphela ngupopu, ukumkani wasemntla. Ezo zigidimi zamyalela upopu ukuba abize intlanganiso ekhethekileyo neenkokeli zeCawa yamaKatolika aze enze umsitho okhethekileyo ukuze anikele iRashiya, eyayisandul’ ukuba yiRashiya yobukomanisi kunyaka ongaphambili, kwiNtombi enguMariya.

The messages contained a warning that if the pope refused to follow through on the command to dedicate Russia to Mary, the world would suffer another world war (the first world war was to end the month after the miracle). The messages of Fatima became a structure for conservative Catholic prophetic interpretation. It identified a struggle within the Catholic church between conservative Catholicism, represented by pope John Paul II and the first Vatican council, and Liberal Catholicism represented by the current “woke-pope” and the second Vatican council.

Imiyalezo leyo yayiqulethe isilumkiso sokuba, ukuba upopu wayenokwala ukulandela umyalelo wokunikezela iRashiya kuMariya, ihlabathi lalinokuhlaselwa yenye imfazwe yehlabathi (imfazwe yokuqala yehlabathi yayiza kuphela kwinyanga elandela ummangaliso). Imiyalezo yaseFatima yaba sisakhiwo sokutolika kwesiprofeto samaKatolika alondolozayo. Yachonga umzabalazo ngaphakathi kwecawe yamaKatolika phakathi kobuKatolika obulondolozayo, obumelwe ngupopu John Paul II kunye neBhunga lokuqala laseVatican, nobuKatolika benkululeko obumelwe “ngupopu ovukileyo” wangoku kunye neBhunga lesibini laseVatican.

In the messages of Fatima the “good pope”, was the “white pope”, and the “bad pope”, was the “black pope”. The good pope, Pope John Paul II, was the conservative pope who identified the Virgin of Fatima as his guiding idol, and the bad pope is the woke-pope, who also rejects any messages from the so-called virgin Mary. When you visit the shrine in Fatima, Portugal as you enter the premises the entrance is set between two giant statues of a black pope on one side and a white pope on the other side, thus representing the internal struggle identified in the Fatima prophecies.

Kwimiyalezo yaseFatima “upopu olungileyo” wayengu “upopu omhlophe”, yaye “upopu ombi” wayengu “upopu omnyama”. Upopu olungileyo, uPopu John Paul II, wayengupopu ongqongqo kwisithethe, owachaza iNtombi yaseFatima njengesithixo sakhe esimkhokelayo, yaye upopu ombi ngupopu ovukileyo, okwathi kananjalo wala nayiphi na imiyalezo evela koko kubizwa ngokuba yiNtombi enguMariya. Xa utyelela itempile yaseFatima, ePortugal, xa ungena kuloo mmandla, isango lokungena limiswe phakathi kwemifanekiso emibini emikhulu eqingqiweyo, upopu omnyama kwelinye icala, yaye upopu omhlophe kwelinye icala, ngaloo ndlela kubonakaliswa umzabalazo wangaphakathi ochongiweyo kwiziprofeto zaseFatima.

The other element of the three secret messages of Fatima was its emphasis on the warfare of Catholicism (the king of the north), and atheism (the king of the south). Without recognizing that the warfare of Catholicism and atheistic Russia is a subject of the satanic prophecy, which directs a large percentage of Catholicism, it is difficult, if not impossible to understand the support which the Catholic church provided to Nazi Germany during World War Two.

Enye inkalo yemiyalezo emithathu eyimfihlo yaseFatima yayikukugxininisa kwayo imfazwe phakathi kobuKatolika (ukumkani wasemantla), nokungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo (ukumkani wasemzantsi). Ngaphandle kokuqonda ukuba imfazwe yobuKatolika neRashiya engakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo sisihloko sesiprofeto sobuSathana, esalathisa inxalenye enkulu yobuKatolika, kunzima, ukuba akunjalo akunakwenzeka, ukuqonda inkxaso eyabonelelwa yiCawa yamaKatolika kwiJamani yamaNazi ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi Yesibini.

The Battle of Leningrad, which lasted from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944 during World War Two, was one of the longest and most brutal sieges in history. The Battle of Stalingrad, which occurred from August 23, 1942 to February 2, 1943, is often regarded as the bloodiest and most significant battle of World War Two. It resulted in immense casualties on both sides, with estimates of over 2 million total casualties, including deaths, wounded, and captured soldiers. The Battle of Stalingrad also marked a turning point in the war, as it resulted in a decisive Soviet victory over the German Army and led to the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany.

Idabi yaseLeningrad, eyathabatha ukusukela ngomhla we-8 kuSeptemba 1941 ukuya kowama-27 kuJanuwari 1944 ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi Yesibini, yaba yenye yezingqingo ezinde nezona zikhohlakeleyo embalini. Idabi laseStalingrad, elaqhubeka ukusukela ngomhla wama-23 kuAgasti 1942 ukuya kowesi-2 kuFebruwari 1943, lidla ngokuthathwa njengelona dabi linegazi kakhulu nelinentsingiselo enkulu kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi Yesibini. Labangela ilahleko enkulu kumacala omabini, yaye uqikelelo lubeka inani lilonke lamaxhoba ngaphezu kwezigidi ezi-2, kuquka abafileyo, abalimeleyo, namajoni athinjwayo. Idabi laseStalingrad laza laba luphawu lokuguquka kwemeko yemfazwe, kuba lwaphumela kuloyiso oluqinisekileyo lweSoviet phezu koMkhosi waseJamani, lwaza lwakhokelela ekoyisweni kokugqibela kweJamani yamaNazi.

Without recognizing that Nazi Germany’s warfare against Russia, particularly in the two battles just cited, it is difficult to understand the role of Germany as the secret ally of the Catholic Church. Without the understanding of the premises of a spiritual war between Catholicism that was motivated by the satanic prophecy of Mary of Fatima, against the atheism of Russia, and thereafter the Communist Soviet Union, the logic for Catholicism secretly hiding and then transporting Nazi war criminals around the globe post-World War Two is missed. The Nazi’s were Catholicism’s proxy army in their struggle against Russia.

Ngaphandle kokuqonda ukuba imfazwe eyayiqhutywa yiJamani yamaNazi nxamnye neRashiya, ingakumbi kwezo mfazwe zimbini zisandul’ ukukhankanywa, kunzima ukuqonda indima yeJamani njengomlingane ofihlakeleyo weCawa yamaKatolika. Ngaphandle kokuqondwa kweziseko zemfazwe yokomoya phakathi kobuKatolika, obabukhuthazwe sisiprofeto sikaSathana sikaMariya waseFatima, nxamnye nokungakholelwa kuThixo kweRashiya, yaye emva koko kweSoviet Union yobuKomanisi, ingqiqo yokuba kutheni ubuKatolika babuzifihla ngokufihlakeleyo buze emva koko buthuthise izaphuli-mthetho zemfazwe zamaNazi emhlabeni jikelele emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi YesiBini iyaphoswa. AmaNazi ayengumkhosi obambele ubuKatolika kumzabalazo wabo nxamnye neRashiya.

It is in this prophetic logic that Putin, the head of atheistic Russia, is involved in a war in the Ukraine, whose leaders are openly known to be Nazi’s. The ground troops of Fatima’s war against atheism from World War Two and onward is fascism, and Nazism. Of course, even though this reality of the leaders of the Ukrainian government is well-documented, the modern manifestation of Hitler’s Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (the mainstream media), has covered these facts as best they could.

Kungaphakathi kwale ngqiqo yesiprofeto apho uPutin, intloko yeRashiya engenankolo, abandakanyeka emfazweni eUkraine, iinkokeli zayo ezaziwa ngokucacileyo ukuba zingamaNazi. Imikhosi esemhlabeni yemfazwe kaFatima yokulwa nokungakholwa kuThixo, ukususela kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi Yesibini ukuya phambili, bubufashisti nobuNazi. Kambe ke, nangona le nyaniso ngokubhekiselele kwiinkokeli zorhulumente waseUkraine ibhalwe kakuhle, ukubonakala kwale mihla kweSebe loLawulo likaHitler loKhanyiselo loLuntu nePropaganda (amajelo eendaba aphambili), kuye kwakufihla ezi nyaniso kangangoko benako.

The name “Ukraine” is derived from the Slavic word “ukraina,” which means “borderland” or “the edge.” The term historically referred to the border regions of the Kievan Rus’, the medieval state that preceded modern-day Ukraine, and is situated on the crossroads between Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Throughout history, it has served as a meeting point between various cultures, civilizations, and empires, including the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, and others. Its strategic location made it a frontier region that experienced significant cultural, political, and military interactions. During the medieval period, Ukraine was the border region of the Kievan Rus’, which was a powerful state that encompassed parts of modern-day Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus. As the Kievan Rus’ expanded and contracted over time, its borders often shifted, and Ukraine remained on the periphery of the state.

Igama elithi “Ukraine” lisuselwa kwigama lesiSlavic elithi “ukraina,” elithetha “umhlaba womda” okanye “umphetho.” Eli gama ngokwembali lalibhekisa kwimimandla esemideni yeKievan Rus’, urhulumente wamaxesha aphakathi owandulela iUkraine yanamhlanje, yaye limi kwindawo yokunqumla phakathi kweMpuma Yurophu neEurasia. Kuyo yonke imbali, iye yasebenza njengendawo yokuhlangana phakathi kweenkcubeko, impucuko, nobukumkani obahlukahlukeneyo, kuquka uBukhosi baseByzantium, uBukhosi baseOttoman, uBukhosi baseRashiya, nabanye. Indawo yayo ebalulekileyo ngokwesicwangciso yalenza laba ngummandla womda owafumana iintsebenziswano ezibalulekileyo zenkcubeko, ezopolitiko, nezasemkhosini. Ngexesha lamaxesha aphakathi, iUkraine yayiyummandla womda weKievan Rus’, owawungurhulumente onamandla owawubandakanya iinxalenye zeUkraine yanamhlanje, iRashiya, neBelarus. Njengoko iKievan Rus’ yayisanda yaye iphinda icuthe ekuhambeni kwexesha, imida yayo yayisoloko itshintsha, yaye iUkraine yahlala ikumda wangaphandle waloo rhulumente.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, as represented in verse ten, verses eleven and twelve identify a battle where the king of the south retaliates and prevails over the king of the north. That battle was fought at Raphia, which was the borderline of the domains of the king of the south and the king of the north.

Emva kokuwa koManyano lweSoviet ngowe-1989, njengoko kumelwe kwindinyana yeshumi, iindinyana zeshumi elinanye neshumi elinambini zichaza imfazwe apho ukumkani wasemazantsi aziphindezela aze oyise ukumkani wasemantla. Loo mfazwe yalwelwa eRafiya, eyayiyindawo yomda wemimandla yokumkani wasemazantsi nokumkani wasemantla.

The Battle of Raphia, which took place in 217 BC, comes from the name of the town near which the battle occurred. Raphia was a town located in the coastal region of ancient Palestine, near the border between the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt and the Seleucid Empire. At the time of the battle the border between the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, ruled by King Ptolemy IV Philopator, and the Seleucid Empire, ruled by King Antiochus III, was located in the vicinity of Raphia. The battle was fought near this border region as both sides sought to assert control over strategic territories in the Levant.

Idabi yaseRaphia, eyenzeka ngowama-217 BC, ithatyathwa kwigama lesixeko ekufuphi nalapho idabi lenzeka khona. IRaphia yayisisixeko esasisekummandla wonxweme wasePalestina yamandulo, kufuphi nomda phakathi koBukumkani bamaPtolemy baseYiputa noBukhosi bamaSeleucid. Ngexesha ledabi umda phakathi koBukumkani bamaPtolemy baseYiputa, obabuphethwe nguKumkani uPtolemy IV Philopator, noBukhosi bamaSeleucid, obabuphethwe nguKumkani uAntiochus III, wawukummandla okufuphi neRaphia. Idabi lalilwelwa kufuphi nalo mmandla womda njengoko omabini amacala ayefuna ukuqinisekisa ulawulo lwawo phezu kwemimandla ebalulekileyo ngokwesicwangciso eLevant.

The ancient town of Raphia, is located near the modern city of Rafah. Rafah is a city situated in the southern Gaza Strip, which is part of the Palestinian territories. After Ptolemy’s victory at Raphia in 217 BC, he initiated persecutions against the Jews in Jerusalem, and also in Egypt. The victory was short-lived and he met his Waterloo, so to speak, in the next three verses. In verse thirteen, the previously defeated king of the north returns and by verse fifteen he overwhelms the king of the south.

Idolophu yakudala yaseRafiya ibekwe kufuphi nesixeko sanamhlanje saseRafa. IRafa sisixeko esikwicala elisemazantsi eGaza Strip, eyinxalenye yemimandla yasePalestina. Emva koloyiso lukaPtolemy eRafiya ngowama-217 BC, waqalisa iintshutshiso nxamnye namaYuda eYerusalem, kwanaseYiputa. Olo loyiso aluzange luhlale ixesha elide, yaye wadibana neWaterloo yakhe, ngoko kuthethwa, kwezi ndinyana zintathu zilandelayo. Kwindinyana yeshumi elinesithathu, ukumkani wasemntla, owayekade oyisiwe ngaphambili, uyabuya, yaye kwindinyana yeshumi elinesihlanu uyamoyisa ngokupheleleyo ukumkani wasemazantsi.

The victory of Putin in the Ukraine will be used by Putin, a former KGB officer who specialized in propaganda, to most likely expose the Nazi roots of the Ukrainian leadership, and also expose those in the Western World who supported the regime for economic greed, and no doubt also expose the hidden black-sites and bio-labs employed by the globalists, which have been funded by the taxpayers of the United States.

Uloyiso lukaPutin eUkraine luya kusetyenziswa nguPutin, owayesakuba ligosa leKGB elalizimele ngokukodwa kupropaganda, kusenokwenzeka kakhulu ukuba atyhile iingcambu zobuNazi zobunkokeli baseUkraine, kwanokutyhila nabo baseNtshona abaxhasa olo lawulo ngenxa yokunyoluka kwezoqoqosho, yaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwakhona atyhile iindawo ezifihlakeleyo ezimnyama neelebhu zebhayoloji ezisetyenziswa ngabaglobhalisti, ebezixhaswa ngemali ngabahlawuli berhafu baseUnited States.

Those revelations will destroy the current talking points of the world globalists, and also of the Democratic talking heads in the United States. That victory for Putin will provide the mandate for the eighth President, that is of the seven, to take his role as the prophetic despot that arrives into history just before verse sixteen; and verse sixteen is the soon coming Sunday law.

Ezo zityhilelo ziya kutshabalalisa amanqaku okuthetha akhoyo ngoku abaqulunqi behlabathi abaxhasa ulawulo lwehlabathi, kwanawabo abathethi abaphambili beQela lamaDemokhrasi eUnited States. Olo loyiso lukaPutin luya kunika igunya uMongameli wesibhozo, ongowabasixhenxe, ukuba athabathe indima yakhe njengomlawuli wobuzwilakhe wesiprofeto ongenelela embalini kanye phambi kwevesi yeshumi elinesithandathu; yaye ivesi yeshumi elinesithandathu ngumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala.

In verse thirteen, the king of the north regroups his army, and in verse fourteen, pagan Rome is introduced into history for the first time, though it is not yet the king of the north. It is there identified as the symbol which “establishes the vision”, and as the power who exalts himself and then falls. After the victory of Putin in the war in the Ukraine, the papacy will begin to lift itself up into world politics, just in advance of the Sunday law in verse sixteen.

Kwivesi yeshumi elinesithathu, ukumkani wasemntla uphinda aqokelele umkhosi wakhe, yaye kwivesi yeshumi elinesine, iRoma yobuhedeni ingeniswa kwimbali okokuqala, nangona ingekabi ngukumkani wasemntla. Apho ichongwa njengomfuziselo “omisela umbono”, nanjengamandla aziphakamisayo aze ke awe. Emva koloyiso lukaPutin emfazweni yaseUkraine, upopu uya kuqalisa ukuziphakamisa kungene kwezopolitiko zehlabathi, kanye ngaphambi komthetho weCawa kwivesi yeshumi elinesithandathu.

The French Revolution, and its connection with the Russian Revolution; Napoleon and Putin; the miracle of Fatima, and its three secrets; the secret alliance between the Vatican and Hitler, the secret alliance between the Vatican and Reagan, are all prophetic “wheels” that intersect in the history of verses eleven through fifteen, which occur during the history of September 11, 2001 until the Sunday law in the United States. It was important to provide a brief summary of these prophetic “wheels” before we take up verse ten.

UVukelo lwaseFransi, nonxulumano lwalo neNguquko yaseRashiya; uNapoleon noPutin; ummangaliso waseFatima, neemfihlelo zawo ezintathu; umanyano oluyimfihlo phakathi kweVatican noHitler, umanyano oluyimfihlo phakathi kweVatican noReagan, zonke ezi zizizo “iivili” zesiprofeto ezidibana kwimbali yeevesi zeshumi elinanye ukuya kweleshumi elinesihlanu, ezenzeka ngexesha lembali kaSeptemba 11, 2001 kude kube ngumthetho weCawa eUnited States. Bekubalulekile ukunika isishwankathelo esifutshane sezi “vili” zesiprofeto phambi kokuba siqwalasele ivesi yeshumi.

The following article is taken from “NBC news,” which is as “Main Stream Media,” as it gets, and the “MSM” is the modern version of Hitler’s World War Two propaganda machine. The article is of course anti-Putin, anti-Russian, and pro-Ukraine, but that is not the point. As citizens of the heavenly kingdom, God’s people should not endorse either side of a satanic work, and all warfare is a satanic work.

Inqaku elilandelayo lithatyathwe kwi-“NBC news,” yona engowona mzekelo upheleleyo wento ebizwa ngokuba yi-“Main Stream Media,” yaye i-“MSM” yinguqulelo yale mihla yomatshini wentengiso-mbumbulu kaHitler weMfazwe Yehlabathi YesiBini. Eli nqaku, kambe ke, lichasene noPutin, lichasene neRashiya, yaye lixhasa iUkraine, kodwa ayisiyiyo leyo ingongoma. Njengabemi bobukumkani basezulwini, abantu bakaThixo abafanele kuvuma naliphi na icala lomsebenzi kaSathana, yaye yonke imfazwe ngumsebenzi kaSathana.

The purpose of this article is to allow those who are unfamiliar with the prophetic warfare between Catholicism (the king of the north) and atheism (the king of the south), and the fact that in the warfare of those two prophetic powers, Naziism has been employed as Catholicism’s proxy army (just as the United States was used in 1989). Students of prophecy need to have enough evidence to see that the background history of World War Two, and of the Cold War, are represented in the current war in Ukraine, as it fulfills verses eleven and twelve, of chapter eleven of Daniel.

Injongo yeli nqaku kukwenza ukuba abo bangaqhelananga nemfazwe yesiprofeto phakathi kobuKatolika (ukumkani wasemntla) nokungakholelwa kuThixo (ukumkani wasezantsi), kwanenyani yokuba, emfazweni yaloo magunya mabini esiprofeto, ubuNazi busetyenziswe njengomkhosi wesimameli wobuKatolika (kanye njengoko iUnited States yasetyenziswa ngowe-1989), bakwazi ukuqonda. Abafundi besiprofeto bafanele babe nobungqina obaneleyo bokubona ukuba imbali engasemva yeMfazwe Yehlabathi Yesibini, neyemfazwe ebandayo, imelwe kwimfazwe yangoku yaseUkraine, njengoko izalisekisa iindinyana zeshumi elinanye neleshumi elinesibini, zesahluko seshumi elinanye sikaDaniyeli.

NBC News Article: “Ukraine’s Nazi problem is real, even if Putin’s ‘denazification’ claim isn’t”

Inqaku le-NBC News: “Ingxaki yamaNazi yaseUkraine iyinyani, nangona ibango likaPutin ‘lokususa ubuNazi’ lingeyonyani”

Of the many distortions manufactured by Russian President Vladimir Putin to justify Russia’s assault on Ukraine, perhaps the most bizarre is his claim that the action was taken to “denazify” the country and its leadership. In making his case for entering his neighbor’s territory with armored tanks and fighter jets, Putin has stated that the move was undertaken “to protect people” who have been “subjected to bullying and genocide,” and that Russia “will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.”

Phakathi kokugqwethwa okuninzi okuveliswe nguMongameli waseRashiya uVladimir Putin ukuze azimiselekele ukuhlasela kweRashiya eUkraine, mhlawumbi okona kumangalisayo libango lakhe lokuba elo nyathelo lathatyathwa ukuze “kukhutshwe ubuNazi” kweli lizwe nakubunkokeli balo. Ekwenzeni ityala lakhe lokungena kumhlaba wommelwane wakhe eneetanki ezixhobileyo neenqwelo-moya zemfazwe, uPutin uthe elo nyathelo lathatyathwa “ukuze kukhuselwe abantu” abaye “baphathwa kakubi baza babulawa ngenkohlakalo yobuhlanga,” kwanokuba iRashiya “iya kuzama ukwenziwa kweUkraine ingabi namikhosi kunye nokukhutshwa kobuNazi kuyo.”

Putin’s destructive actions — among them the devastation of Jewish communities — make clear that he’s lying when he says his goal is to ensure anyone’s welfare.

Izenzo zikaPutin ezitshabalalisayo — phakathi kwazo ukutshatyalaliswa kweendawo zoluntu lwamaYuda — zenza kucace ukuba uyaxoka xa esithi injongo yakhe kukuqinisekisa intlalo-ntle yakhe nabani na.

On its face, Putin’s smear is absurd, not least because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish and has said that members of his family were killed during World War II. There is also no evidence of recent mass killings or ethnic purges taking place in Ukraine. Moreover, labeling enemies Nazis is a common political ploy in Russia, especially from a leader who favors disinformation campaigns and wants to stir up feelings of national vengeance against a WWII foe to justify conquest.

Ngokubonakala kwayo nje, olo hlazo lwasasazwa nguPutin alunangqiqo kwaphela, ingakumbi ngenxa yokuba uMongameli waseUkraine, uVolodymyr Zelenskyy, engumYuda yaye ethe amalungu osapho lwakhe abulawa ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi II. Kanjalo akukho bungqina bokuba kutshanje kukho ukubulawa kwabantu ngobuninzi okanye ucoceko lobuhlanga oluqhubekayo eUkraine. Ngaphezu koko, ukutyikitya iintshaba njengaMaNazi liqhinga lezopolitiko eliqhelekileyo eRashiya, ngakumbi livela kwinkokeli ethanda amaphulo okusasaza ulwazi olungeyonyani yaye efuna ukuvuselela iimvakalelo zempindezelo yesizwe nxamnye notshaba lweMfazwe Yehlabathi II ukuze ithethelele uloyiso lokoyisa.

But even though Putin is engaging in propaganda, it’s also true that Ukraine has a genuine Nazi problem — both past and present. Putin’s destructive actions — among them the devastation of Jewish communities — make clear that he’s lying when he says his goal is to ensure anyone’s welfare. But important as it is to defend the yellow-and-blue flag against the Kremlin’s brutal aggression, it would be a dangerous oversight to deny Ukraine’s antisemitic history and collaboration with Hitler’s Nazis, as well as the latter-day embrace of neo-Nazi factions in some quarters.

Kodwa nangona uPutin ebandakanyeka kupropaganda, kuyinyaniso kananjalo ukuba iUkraine inengxaki yokwenene yobuNazi — kokubini kwixesha elidlulileyo nakweli langoku. Izenzo ezonakalisayo zikaPutin — phakathi kwazo ukutshatyalaliswa kweendawo zoluntu lwamaYuda — zenza kucace ukuba uyaxoka xa esithi injongo yakhe kukuqinisekisa impilo-ntle kabani na. Kodwa nangona kubaluleke kakhulu ukukhusela iflegi etyheli neluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nxamnye nobundlobongela obukrakra beKremlin, kuya kuba kukungahoyi okuyingozi ukukhanyela imbali yeUkraine yokuchasa amaYuda nokusebenzisana kwayo namaNazi kaHitler, kwanokwamkelwa kwamacandelo e-neo-Nazi kule mihla kwezinye izangqa.

Why are fleeing Ukrainians being talked about with such sympathy? They are white.

Kutheni abantu baseUkraine abasabayo bethethwa ngovelwano olungaka? Bangabamhlophe.

On the eve of World War II, Ukraine was home to one the largest Jewish communities in Europe, with estimates as high as 2.7 million, a remarkable number considering the territory’s long record of antisemitism and pogroms. By the end, more than half would perish. When German troops took control of Kyiv in 1941, they were welcomed by “Heil Hitler” banners. Soon after, nearly 34,000 Jews — along with Roma and other “undesirables” — were rounded up and marched to fields outside the city on the pretext of resettlement only to be massacred in what became known as the “Holocaust by bullets.”

Ngobusuku bangaphambi kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II, iUkraine yayilikhaya lelinye lawona maqela makhulu amaYuda eYurophu, kuqikelelwa ukuba ayefikelela kwi-2.7 miliyoni, inani elimangalisayo xa kuthathelwa ingqalelo imbali ende yaloo mmandla yokuchasa amaYuda neepogrom. Ekupheleni kwayo, ngaphezu kwesiqingatha sabo sasiza kutshabalala. Xa imikhosi yaseJamani yathabatha ulawulo lweKyiv ngowe-1941, yamkelwa ngeebhanile ezazinegama elithi “Heil Hitler.” Kungekudala emva koko, phantse amaYuda angama-34,000 — kunye namaRoma nabanye “abangafunekiyo” — aqokelelwa aza aqhutyelwa kwimihlaba engaphandle kwesixeko ngenkohliso yokuba ayafuduswa ukuze ahlaliswe kwenye indawo, kanti ke aya kubulawelwa apho kwinto eyathi kamva yaziwa ngokuba yi-“Holocaust by bullets.”

The Babyn Yar ravine continued to fill up as a mass grave for two years. With as many as 100,000 murdered there, it became one of the largest single killing sites of the Holocaust outside of Auschwitz and other death camps. Researchers have noted the key role locals played in fulfilling Nazi kill orders at the site.

Umwonyo waseBabyn Yar waqhubeka uzaliswa njengengcwaba elikhulu labaninzi kangangeminyaka emibini. Ekubeni kwabulawelwa apho abantu abangange-100,000, waba yenye yezona ndawo zinkulu zokubulala abantu ngaxeshanye ngexesha loTshabalalo lwamaYuda ngaphandle kwe-Auschwitz nezinye iinkampu zokufa. Abaphandi baye baqaphela indima ebalulekileyo eyadlalwa ngabantu basekuhlaleni ekuphumezeni imiyalelo yamaNazi yokubulala kuloo ndawo.

Nowadays, Ukraine counts between 56,000 to 140,000 Jews, who enjoy freedoms and protections never imagined by their grandparents. That includes an updated law passed last month criminalizing antisemitic acts. Unfortunately, the law was intended to address a pronounced uptick in public displays of bigotry, including swastika-laden vandalism of synagogues and Jewish memorials, and eerie marches in Kyiv and other cities that celebrated the Waffen SS.

Namhlanje, iUkraine ibala phakathi kwamaYuda angama-56,000 ukuya kuma-140,000, anandipha iinkululeko nokhuseleko ababengazange bawacinge nokuwacinga ookhokho bawo. Oko kuquka umthetho ohlaziyiweyo owaphunyezwa kwinyanga ephelileyo owenza izenzo zobuYuda-zondi zibe lulwaphulo-mthetho. Ngelishwa, loo mthetho wawujoliswe ekusingatheni ukwanda okubonakalayo kwezenzo zentiyo ezivezwa esidlangalaleni, kuquka ukonakaliswa kweesinagoge nezikhumbuzo zamaYuda ngegraffiti ezizele ziiswastika, kunye nemingcelele eyoyikekayo eKyiv nakwezinye izixeko eyayincoma iWaffen SS.

In another ominous development, Ukraine has in recent years erected a glut of statues honoring Ukrainian nationalists whose legacies are tainted by their indisputable record as Nazi proxies. The Forward newspaper cataloged some of these deplorables, including Stepan Bandera, leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), whose followers acted as local militia members for the SS and German army. “Ukraine has several dozen monuments and scores of street names glorifying this Nazi collaborator, enough to require two separate Wikipedia pages,” the Forward wrote.

Kolunye uphuhliso olusongelayo, iUkraine kwiminyaka yakutshanje iye yamisa intabalala yemifanekiso eqingqiweyo yokuwonga amaqaba esizwe aseUkraine ilifa lawo elingcoliswe yingxelo yawo engenakuphikiswa yokuba ayengabameli bamaNazi. Iphephandaba i-Forward laqokelela uluhlu lwabanye baba bantu basikizi, kuquka uStepan Bandera, inkokeli yoMbutho wamaQaba eSizwe aseUkraine (OUN), abalandeli bakhe ababesebenza njengamalungu emikhosi yasekuhlaleni ye-SS neyomkhosi waseJamani. “IUkraine inamashumi aliqela ezikhumbuzo namanani amaninzi amagama ezitrato adumisa lo mdibaniselwano wamaNazi, ngokwaneleyo ukuba kufuneke amaphepha amabini ahlukeneyo eWikipedia,” yabhalela njalo i-Forward.

Another frequent honoree is Roman Shukhevych, revered as a Ukrainian freedom fighter but also the leader of a feared Nazi auxiliary police unit that the Forward notes was “responsible for butchering thousands of Jews and … Poles.” Statues have also been raised for Yaroslav Stetsko, a one-time chair of the OUN, who wrote “I insist on the extermination of the Jews in Ukraine.”

Omnye osoloko behlonitshwayo rhoqo nguRoman Shukhevych, ohlonitshwa njengomlweli wenkululeko waseUkraine kodwa ekwangumphathi weyunithi eyoyikekayo yamapolisa ancedisayo amaNazi ethi iForward ithi “yayinoxanduva lokuxhela amawaka amaYuda kunye … namaPoland.” Kwakhona kuye kwamiswa imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaYaroslav Stetsko, owayekhe wangusihlalo we-OUN, owabhala wathi “Ndinyanzelisa ukutshatyalaliswa kwamaYuda eUkraine.”

Far-right groups have also gained political currency in the past decade, none more chilling than Svoboda (formerly the Social National Party of Ukraine), whose leader claimed the country was controlled by a “Muscovite-Jewish mafia” and whose deputy used an antisemitic slur to describe Ukrainian-born Jewish actor Mila Kunis. Svoboda has sent several members to Ukraine’s Parliament, including one who called the Holocaust a “bright period” in human history, according to Foreign Policy.

Amaqela akude-ekunene nawo afumene intsingiselo yezopolitiko kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, kungekho nelinye eloyikisa ngaphezu kweSvoboda (eyayisakuba yiSocial National Party of Ukraine), inkokeli yalo eyathi ilizwe lilawulwa “yi-mafia yamaMuscovite-yamaYuda” yaye usekela wayo wasebenzisa isithuko esichasene namaYuda ukuchaza umdlali weqonga ongumYuda ozelwe eUkraine, uMila Kunis. I-Svoboda ithumele amalungu aliqela kwiPalamente yaseUkraine, kuquka nelinye elabiza iHolocaust ngokuba “lixesha eliqaqambileyo” kwimbali yoluntu, ngokutsho kweForeign Policy.

Just as disturbing, neo-Nazis are part of some of Ukraine’s growing ranks of volunteer battalions. They are battle-hardened after waging some of the toughest street fighting against Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine following Putin’s Crimean invasion in 2014. One is the Azov Battalion, founded by an avowed white supremacist who claimed Ukraine’s national purpose was to rid the country of Jews and other inferior races. In 2018, the U.S. Congress stipulated that its aid to Ukraine couldn’t be used “to provide arms, training or other assistance to the Azov Battalion.” Even so, Azov is now an official member of the Ukraine National Guard.

Okuphazamisayo ngokulinganayo kukuba ama-neo-Nazi ayinxalenye yamanye amaqela emikhosi yamavolontiya aseUkraine andayo. Aye aqiniswa yimfazwe emva kokulwa ezinye zezona mfazwe zinzima zasesitratweni nxamnye nabahlukanisi abaxhaswa yiMoscow kwimpuma yeUkraine, kulandela uhlaselo lukaPutin eCrimea ngo-2014. Elinye kuwo yiBhataliyoni yaseAzov, eyasekwa ngumntu owavakalisa ngokuphandle inkolelo yokongama kwabamhlophe nowathi injongo yesizwe yaseUkraine yayikukususa amaYuda nezinye iintlanga ezithathwa njengezingaphantsi kweli lizwe. Ngo-2018, iNkongolo yaseU.S. yamisela ukuba uncedo lwayo eUkraine alunako ukusetyenziswa “ukubonelela ngezixhobo, uqeqesho okanye olunye uncedo kwiBhataliyoni yaseAzov.” Nakuba kunjalo, iAzov ngoku lilungu elisemthethweni loMlindi weSizwe waseUkraine.

For sure, none of this disturbing context justifies the misery that has befallen Ukrainians over the past several weeks — and it’s unlikely that Putin was motivated by any of it when he launched his invasion. Indeed, thanks to Putin, Jews living in Odessa, Kharkiv and other eastern cities are under extreme duress. While many have taken refuge in local synagogues and Jewish centers, others have fled to foreign countries, including Israel, which has urged all Jews to leave Ukraine.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, akukho nanye kwezi meko ziphazamisayo enokuthethelela intlungu embi eyehlela abantu baseUkraine kwiiveki ezininzi ezidluleyo — yaye akunakwenzeka ukuba uPutin wayekhuthazwa yiyo nantoni na kwezi zinto xa wayeqalisa uhlaselo lwakhe lokungenela ilizwe. Inene, ngenxa kaPutin, amaYuda ahlala eOdessa, eKharkiv nakwezinye izixeko zasempuma aphantsi koxinzelelo olugqithisileyo. Nangona abaninzi befumene ikhusi kwizindlu zesikhungu zasekuhlaleni nakumaziko amaYuda, abanye basabele kumazwe angaphandle, kuquka kwaSirayeli, eye yabongoza onke amaYuda ukuba aphume eUkraine.

My own grandparents themselves had to flee western Ukraine to escape persecution, and it is tragic to see this cycle continue. If the country devolves into chaos and insurgency, Jews could once again be at risk from some of their fellow citizens. Not acknowledging this threat means that little is being done to guard against it.

Ootatomkhulu nootatomkhulu bam ngokwabo kwafuneka babaleke eNtshona yeUkraine ukuze basinde entshutshisweni, yaye kubuhlungu ukubona lo mjikelo uqhubeka. Ukuba ilizwe liwohloka lingene kwisiphithiphithi nasekuvukeleni, amaYuda anokuphinda abe sengozini evela kwabanye babemi belizwe abangabanye babo. Ukungaluqondi olu songelo kuthetha ukuba kuncinane kakhulu okwenziwayo ukuzikhusela kulo.

But even if some elements of the country have been entangled with one of history’s most loathsome movements, standing with Ukraine is without doubt the honorable posture to take in this drama. Right now, every day that Putin ratchets up his assault against the Ukrainian people with scorched-earth zeal, it’s hard not to see who truly deserves the N-word.

Kodwa nokuba ezinye iinkalo zeli lizwe ziye zaxhonywa kwenye yezona ntshukumo zonyanyekayo kwimbali, ukuma ne-Ukraine ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo sisimo esinesidima ekufuneka sithatyathwe kulo mdlalo wezehlo. Okwangoku, yonke imihla uPutin esandisa ngamandla uhlaselo lwakhe nxamnye nabantu base-Ukraine ngenkuthalo yokutshabalalisa yonke into, kunzima ukungaboni ukuba ngubani ngokwenene ofanele elo gama liqalisa ngo-N.

Siya kuwuqhuba olu phando kwinqaku lethu elilandelayo.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana.

“Abo bangakwaziyo ukukhumbula ixesha elidluleyo bagwetyelwe ukuliphinda.” George Santayana.

“All that God has in prophetic history specified to be fulfilled in the past has been, and all that is yet to come in its order will be. Daniel, God’s prophet, stands in his place. John stands in his place. In the Revelation the Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the students of prophecy the book of Daniel, and thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears his testimony, that which the Lord revealed to him in vision of the great and solemn events which we must know as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.

“Konke oko uThixo, kwimbali yesiprofeto, akuchazileyo ukuba kuya kuzaliseka kwixesha eladlulayo, kuye kwazaliseka; yaye konke okusaseleyo okuzayo ngokolandelelwano lwako kuya kuzaliseka. UDaniyeli, umprofeti kaThixo, umi endaweni yakhe. UYohane umi endaweni yakhe. Encwadini yeSityhilelo iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda iyivulele abafundi besiprofeto incwadi kaDaniyeli, yaye ngaloo ndlela uDaniyeli umi endaweni yakhe. Uthwala ubungqina bakhe, oko iNkosi eyamtyhilelayo embonweni ngeziganeko ezikhulu nezingcwele, ekufuneka sizazi njengoko simi kanye embundwini wokuzaliseka kwazo.”

“In history and prophecy the Word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been, will be repeated. Old controversies will be revived, and new theories will be continually arising. But God’s people, who in their belief and fulfillment of prophecy have acted a part in the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels’ messages, know where they stand. They have an experience that is more precious than fine gold. They are to stand firm as a rock, holding the beginning of their confidence steadfast unto the end.” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.

“Kwimbali nakwisiprofeto iLizwi likaThixo libonakalisa ungquzulwano olude noluthe gqolo phakathi kwenyaniso nempazamo. Olo ngquzulwano lusaqhuba. Ezo zinto bezikho, ziya kuphindwa. Iimpikiswano zakudala ziya kuvuselelwa, yaye iingcamango ezintsha ziya kuhlala zivela. Kodwa abantu bakaThixo, abathi ekukholweni kwabo nasekuzalisekeni kwesiprofeto badlala indima ekuvakalisweni kwemiyalezo yengelosi yokuqala, yesibini, neyesithathu, bayayazi indawo abemi kuyo. Banamava axabiseke ngakumbi kunegolide ecolekileyo. Baya kuma beqinile njengelitye, bebambelele ngokuqinileyo kwasekuqaleni kokukholosa kwabo kude kube sekupheleni.” Selected Messages, incwadi 2, 109.
