There is a transition of both the Republican and the true Protestant horn of the earth beast that began in the year 2020. The true Protestant horn was slain on July 18, 2020, and the Republican horn was slain on November 3, 2020. According to Revelation chapter eleven, after three and a half symbolic days they will once again stand upon their feet. When they stand, the true Protestant horn will transition from Laodiceans to Philadelphians. They will have been taken out of a church, and brought into a movement. They have been taken out of the experience of the seventh church, into the experience of the sixth church. They have become the eighth, that is of the seven.
自二〇二〇年起，地獸之共和黨角與真正新教角，二者都進入了一個轉變。真正新教之角於二〇二〇年七月十八日被殺，共和黨之角則於二〇二〇年十一月三日被殺。按照《啟示錄》第十一章，經過三個半象徵性的日子之後，他們將再一次站在自己的腳上。當他們站立之時，真正新教之角將由老底嘉人轉變為非拉鐵非人。他們將已從一個教會之中被帶出，並被帶進一場運動之中。他們已從第七個教會的經歷之中被帶出，而進入第六個教會的經歷之中。他們已成為第八個，就是那出於七個的。
The movement at the beginning of Adventism was the Philadelphian movement, and the Philadelphian movement is restored at the end. The work of the three angels of Revelation chapter fourteen, began as a movement, and it will end as a movement. The Philadelphian movement, represented by the sixth church of Philadelphia died in 1856, and beginning at the end of July in 2023, it is now being resurrected as the eighth, that is of the seven.
復臨運動起初嘅運動，乃係非拉鐵非運動，而非拉鐵非運動亦喺末後得以恢復。啟示錄第十四章三位天使嘅工作，乃係以一場運動開始，亦必以一場運動結束。由第六個教會非拉鐵非所表徵嘅非拉鐵非運動，於1856年死去；而自2023年7月底開始，佢如今正作為第八位——即係出於那七位之一——被復活。
In the same history, the Republican horn is experiencing a parallel death and resurrection, with the sixth president since Reagan at the time of the end in 1989 becoming the eighth president, who is of the seven. The process of transitioning for the Republican horn is represented by its merging together with the horn of apostate Protestantism, which is spiritual fornication and the image of the beast. The Republican horn becomes the eighth, that is of the seven, for it represents an image of the beast of Catholicism, that is the eighth head, that is of the seven heads, in Revelation chapter seventeen, and in Daniel chapter two.
喺同一段歷史入面，共和黨嘅角正經歷一個平行嘅死亡同復活；到末時，即1989年，自列根以來嘅第六任總統成為第八位總統，而呢一位乃是出於那七位嘅。共和黨角嘅轉變過程，乃係由佢同背道嘅新教之角合而為一所表明；呢一種聯合就係屬靈嘅淫亂，同埋獸像。共和黨角成為第八位，而又是出於那七位，因為佢所代表嘅，乃係天主教之獸嘅一個像；此獸乃係第八個頭，而又是出於那七個頭，正如《啟示錄》第十七章同《但以理書》第二章所記。
The political transition of the horn of Republicanism is represented in the period of preparation from 1776 unto 1798. That prophetic period is a necessary key to recognize the unsealing of the hidden secret of Nebuchadnezzar’s image of the beasts. That period of preparation is represented by the period of a thirty-year preparation for both Christ and the antichrist.
共和主義之角嘅政治轉變，乃表現於由1776年至1798年呢段預備時期。呢段先知性時期，乃認明尼布甲尼撒獸像隱藏奧祕被揭開所必需嘅關鍵。呢段預備時期，乃由基督同敵基督各自三十年嘅預備時期所表徵。
The sealing time from September 11, 2001 unto the soon coming Sunday law is the prophetic period where the effect of every vision is accomplished. It represents the period that ends with the papacy returning to the throne of the earth as the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven, at the hour of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven. It has therefore been typified by the period that preceded the first time the papacy was enthroned in 538. In 538 the papacy passed a Sunday law at the Council of Orleans, identifying the end of the thirty years of preparation, and typifying the soon coming Sunday law. Jesus never changes, so there must be a period that precedes the Sunday law where the deadly wound is healed, as there was the first time the papacy was enthroned.
由2001年9月11日直到那即將來臨的星期日法令之封印時期，乃是一段預言性的時期，在其中，每一個異象的效驗都得以成就。這時期象徵一段以教皇權於《啟示錄》第十一章所述「大地震」之時，作為那「七位」中的第八國，重返地上寶座而告終的時期。因此，它已由教皇權於538年第一次登上王位之前的那段時期所預表。於538年，教皇權在奧爾良會議通過了一條星期日法令，表明三十年預備時期的結束，並預表那即將來臨的星期日法令。耶穌永不改變，因此，在星期日法令之前，必定有一段致命傷得醫治的時期，正如教皇權第一次登位之前曾有的一樣。
That period is represented by the histories associated with the waymarks of the years 508, 533 and 538. In the year 508 the period of preparation, or the setting up of the papacy began. The fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, a dragon power, had been subdued, and in 533, Justinian decreed that the papacy was the “head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics.” All that was left in order for the papacy to take control in 538, was the removal of the Goths from the City of Rome, and that took place in the year 538. That thirty-year line of history ran parallel to the birth of Christ, that was followed by the ministry of John, that led to the empowerment of Jesus as the Messiah at His baptism.
嗰段時期，乃係由與 508、533 同 538 各年份里程碑有關嘅歷史所表徵。喺 508 年，預備嘅時期，即教皇制被建立嘅時期，開始咗。作為龍權勢嘅異教羅馬第四國，已經被制伏；而喺 533 年，查士丁尼頒令，宣告教皇制乃係「眾教會之首，並且亦係糾正異端者」。為使教皇制得以喺 538 年掌權，所剩低要做嘅，就係將哥特人由羅馬城中除去；而呢件事就發生喺 538 年。嗰條三十年嘅歷史線，與基督嘅降生彼此平行；其後有約翰嘅事奉，並引向耶穌喺受浸時，作為彌賽亞而得著權能。
The period of preparation in the history of Christ runs parallel with the sealing time, and it addresses the internal line of the Protestant horn, while the period of preparation for the antichrist addresses the external line of the Republican horn. Those two periods provide two witnesses of September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon coming Sunday law. One period is emphasizing the external and the other the internal testimony of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
基督歷史中之預備時期，與印記時期並行，且係針對新教之角的內在線；而敵基督之預備時期，則係針對共和黨之角的外在線。此兩個時期，就二〇〇一年九月十一日、二〇二三年十月七日，以及即將來臨之星期日法，提供了兩個見證。一個時期強調外在，另一個則強調十四萬四千人之印記時期的內在見證。
The work of John, as the voice in the wilderness who prepared the way for the Messenger of the Covenant, paralleled the decree of Justinian that prepared the way for the man of sin, who is the messenger of the covenant of death. October 7, 2023 was the warning of what is going to happen when the Sunday law is enforced, as it was in 538. October 7, 2023 parallels 533 in the period of preparation for the first time the papacy was placed on the throne of the earth. It is the warning that at the soon-coming Sunday law, as in 538, the pope will once again become both the head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics. It is also the warning of the escalating warfare of Islam of the third woe.
約翰作為喺曠野呼喊、為立約之使者預備道路嘅聲音，佢嘅工作同查士丁尼所頒佈、為罪惡之人——即死亡之約嘅使者——預備道路嘅法令相對應。2023年10月7日，乃係一個警告，指出當星期日法被強制執行之時將會發生乜嘢，正如喺538年一樣。2023年10月7日，喺教皇制度第一次被安置於地上寶座之前嘅預備時期中，與533年相對應。呢個警告指出：喺即將來臨嘅星期日法之下，正如538年一樣，教皇將再次成為眾教會之首，並且亦成為異端之糾正者。呢亦係對第三樣禍災之伊斯蘭戰爭不斷升級嘅警告。
It is the warning identifying Islam (tidings of the east), and the warning of the restoration of the pope (tidings of the north). That warning coincides with the work of the messenger who prepares the way in the last days, for the Messenger of the Covenant, who is to then enter into covenant with the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
呢個警告指出咗伊斯蘭（由東方而來的信息），以及教皇復位嘅警告（由北方而來的信息）。呢個警告同嗰位喺末後日子預備道路之使者嘅工作相一致，因為隨後要進入約中、與十四萬四千人立約嘅，乃係立約之使者。
The three periods of preparation (the thirty years of Christ and the antichrist, and the sealing time), are also typified by the period of 1776 unto 1798. The ending of the earth beast has a specific period which precedes its ending as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, therefore, the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy must have a prophetic period that precedes the beginning of that kingdom. Alpha and Omega always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.
三段預備時期（基督與敵基督嘅三十年，以及蓋印嘅時期），亦都由1776年至1798年呢段時期所預表。地獸嘅結束有一段特定時期先於佢作為《聖經》預言中第六個國度嘅終結；因此，地獸作為《聖經》預言中第六個國度嘅開始，必定亦有一段先於嗰個國度開始嘅預言時期。阿拉法同俄梅戛始終都係以一件事物嘅開始，去說明嗰件事物嘅終結。
1776, 1789 and 1798 represent September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon-coming Sunday law. From 1776 unto 1798 the prophetic preparation of the setting up of the sixth kingdom was accomplished, just as the years 508, 533, and 538 represented the preparation of the setting up of the fifth kingdom. They must have these same prophetic characteristics, for the sixth kingdom is to be the image of the fifth kingdom.
1776、1789同1798，係代表2001年9月11日、2023年10月7日，以及即將來臨嘅星期日法。由1776直到1798，第六個國度被建立嘅先知性預備就完成咗，正如508、533同538呢幾年，代表咗第五個國度被建立之前嘅預備一樣。佢哋必須具備同樣嘅先知性特徵，因為第六個國度將會係第五個國度嘅像。
The thirty years of Christ’s preparation leading to His baptism represent the same period, for when Christ came to confirm the covenant for one week, beginning at His baptism, He was setting up His kingdom of grace. In setting up His kingdom of grace in those seven years, He shed His blood to confirm that kingdom, and in so doing, He left the example of when He would set up His kingdom of glory. That kingdom of glory is the kingdom of Daniel two, that is represented as a stone that is cut out of a mountain without hands. That kingdom Sister White informs us is set up during the latter rain, and the latter rain began on September 11, 2001.
基督受洗之前那三十年嘅預備，正正代表同一段時期；因為當基督由祂受洗開始，嚟到堅立嗰「一七之內」嘅約之時，祂就係在設立祂恩典嘅國。喺嗰七年之內設立祂恩典之國嘅時候，祂流出自己嘅血，以堅立嗰國；而藉着咁樣行，祂亦留下咗一個榜樣，表明祂將會喺幾時設立祂榮耀嘅國。嗰榮耀之國，就係但以理書第二章嘅國，經文將之表述為一塊非人手鑿出、從山而出嘅石頭。懷愛倫姊妹告訴我哋，嗰國係喺晚雨期間設立，而晚雨係始於2001年9月11日。
“The latter rain is coming on those that are pure—all then will receive it as formerly.
「晚雨將要降臨在那些純潔的人身上——到那時，人人都必像從前一樣領受它。 」
“When the four angels let go, Christ will set up His kingdom. None receive the latter rain but those who are doing all they can. Christ would help us. All could be overcomers by the grace of God, through the blood of Jesus. All heaven is interested in the work. Angels are interested.” Spalding and Magan, 3.
「當四位天使放手嘅時候，基督就要建立祂嘅國。惟有嗰啲竭盡所能而行嘅人，先至會領受晚雨。基督必幫助我哋。藉着上帝嘅恩典，並藉着耶穌嘅血，人人都可以成為得勝者。全天庭都關注呢項工作。天使亦都關注。」Spalding and Magan, 3.
On September 11, 2001 the four winds, which are represented as an angry horse (Islam) were released, and then held in check, while the one hundred and forty-four thousand are being sealed. 1776, 1789 and 1798 represent the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the three dates represent legal enactments that led to the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy being established. The second date of 1789 identifies the Constitution of the United States, and therefore it was the message that identified the Constitution as the twofold power that was to arrive in 1798, just as 533 was the announcement of the twofold power that would arrive in 538, and as John the Baptist announced the twofold power which would arrive at Christ’s baptism.
喺2001年9月11日，四風──被描繪為一匹憤怒之馬（伊斯蘭）──被釋放出嚟，之後又被抑制住，與此同時，十四萬四千人正被蓋印。1776、1789同1798代表咗十四萬四千人受印嘅時期，而呢三個日期代表咗一連串法律制定，導致《聖經》預言中第六個國度被建立。第二個日期1789指出美利堅合眾國憲法，因此，嗰個信息就係指出憲法乃係將會喺1798到來之雙重權柄，正如533乃係宣告將會喺538到來之雙重權柄，又如施洗約翰宣告將會喺基督受洗時到來之雙重權柄一樣。
The two powers that make up the twofold power of Christ was His example that divinity combined with humanity does not sin. The two powers that make up the twofold power of the antichrist was his enthronement as the head of the churches, and his enthronement as the corrector of heretics. The two powers of that make up the twofold power of the earth beast are the two horns of Republicanism and Protestantism.
構成基督雙重權柄嘅兩種權能，乃係祂所立嘅榜樣：神性與人性結合，並不犯罪。構成敵基督雙重權柄嘅兩種權能，乃係佢被立為眾教會之首，以及佢被立為異端之糾正者。構成地獸雙重權柄嘅兩種權能，乃係共和主義同新教主義呢兩隻角。
“‘And he had two horns like a lamb.’ The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as ‘coming up’ in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that ‘all men are created equal’ and endowed with the inalienable right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 441.
「『佢有兩隻角，好似羊羔一樣。』呢兩隻似羊羔嘅角，表明年輕、純真同溫柔，正好恰當噉代表美利堅合眾國嘅品格；當佢喺1798年以『上來』嘅形象呈現畀先知嘅時候，正係如此。最先逃往美洲、為要躲避王權壓迫同祭司階層不容異己，而喺嗰度尋求庇護嘅基督徒流亡者當中，有好多人決心要喺公民自由同宗教自由呢一廣闊基礎之上建立政府。佢哋嘅見解喺《獨立宣言》中得到表達；呢份宣言闡明咗一項重大真理，就係『人人生而平等』，並且賦有不可剝奪嘅權利，去享有『生命、自由同追求幸福』。而《憲法》就保障人民享有自治嘅權利，規定由人民投票選出嘅代表制定同執行法律。宗教信仰自由亦都得到賦予，容許人人按照自己良心嘅指引去敬拜上帝。共和政體同新教信仰，成為咗呢個國家嘅基本原則。呢啲原則就係佢力量同繁榮嘅祕訣。整個基督教世界中受壓迫、受踐踏嘅人，都懷住關注同盼望轉向呢片土地。數以百萬計嘅人尋求登上佢嘅海岸，而美利堅合眾國亦已興起，喺地上最強大嘅列國之中佔有一席之地。」《善惡之爭》，441。
1776, 1789 and 1798 represent three histories that emphasize that the eighth, is of the seven. 1776 represents the publication of the Declaration of Independence, and the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses. 1789 represents the publication of the Constitution and the History of the Articles of Confederation. 1798 represents the publication of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.
1776、1789 同 1798 代表三段歷史，強調第八個乃是出於那七個。1776 代表《獨立宣言》的頒布，以及第一屆同第二屆大陸會議嘅歷史。1789 代表《憲法》的頒布，以及《邦聯條例》的歷史。1798 代表《外僑與煽動叛亂法》的頒布，以及地獸作為《聖經》預言中第六個國度嘅開始。
The First Continental Congress occurred in 1774, and was a pivotal institution in the early history of the United States, serving as a governing body during the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Congresses are divided into two prophetic periods of the first congress and the last congress. The First Continental Congress had two presidents and convened in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26, 1774. Peyton Randolph was the first president of the meeting from September 5 to October 22, and then Henry Middleton presided for the next five days until October 26, 1774.
第一屆大陸會議於1774年召開，乃美國早期歷史上一個關鍵性的機構，在美國獨立革命戰爭期間充當治理機關。大陸會議可劃分為兩個預言時期：第一個會議與最後一個會議。第一屆大陸會議有兩位主席，並於1774年9月5日至10月26日在費城召開。佩頓·倫道夫自9月5日至10月22日擔任會議首任主席，其後亨利·米德爾頓於接着的五日內主持會議，直至1774年10月26日。
The Second Continental Congress occurred from 1775 until 1781. The Second Continental Congress had six presidents during its existence. Peyton Randolph presided as president from May 10, 1775 until May 24, 1775. He was the first president of both the First and also of the Second Continental Congresses. There was a total of eight presidents during the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses.
第二次大陸會議由1775年持續至1781年。第二次大陸會議於其存續期間共有六位主席。佩頓・倫道夫自1775年5月10日起至1775年5月24日止擔任主席。佢係第一屆大陸會議同第二次大陸會議嘅首任主席。第一屆同第二次大陸會議喺歷史上合共有八位主席。
The second president of the Second Continental Congress was John Hancock, and Hancock presided from May 24, 1775 until October 31, 1777. Henry Laurens presided from November 1, 1777 until December 9, 1778. John Jay presided from December 10, 1778 until September 28, 1779. Samuel Huntington presided from September 28, 1779 until July 9, 1781. Thomas McKean presided from July 10, 1781 until November 4, 1781.
第二次大陸會議嘅第二任會長係約翰．漢考克，而漢考克由1775年5月24日主持至1777年10月31日。亨利．勞倫斯由1777年11月1日主持至1778年12月9日。約翰．傑伊由1778年12月10日主持至1779年9月28日。塞繆爾．亨廷頓由1779年9月28日主持至1781年7月9日。托馬斯．麥基恩由1781年7月10日主持至1781年11月4日。
Peyton Randolph was the first president of both the First and Second Continental Congresses. This identifies that during the two periods of the Continental Congresses there were eight presidents, but the president that was the first president of each of the two periods was the same person. Therefore, though there were eight presidential terms, there were actually only seven presidents. The first president was of the seven men who were presidents, but as Randolph presided twice in that history, he also represents the eighth, that was of the seven.
佩頓．蘭道夫乃第一屆同第二屆大陸會議嘅首任主席。呢一點表明，喺大陸會議呢兩個時期之中，雖然共有八個主席任期，但喺兩個時期各自擔任首任主席嘅，卻係同一個人。因此，儘管有八個主席任期，實際上卻只有七位主席。第一位主席乃七位曾任主席之人當中嘅一位；但由於蘭道夫喺嗰段歷史中曾兩次主持會議，佢亦代表嗰第八位，即係出於七位之中嘅第八位。
In the history of the Continental Congresses, the Revolutionary War was managed by the Congress. For this reason, George Washington was never a president in that period, for he had been appointed as the first Commander and Chief over the military.
喺大陸會議嘅歷史之中，獨立革命戰爭乃係由國會掌管。正因如此，喬治．華盛頓喺嗰段時期從未作為總統，因為佢已被委任為統領軍隊嘅首任總司令。
Being the first president of both periods Randolph represents two witnesses typifying the first actual president, who was George Washington. Washington is represented by Randolph, and therefore Randolph, as a symbol of Washington, conveys both the prophetic characteristics of Randolph the first president, but also that Randolph was the eighth, that was of the seven. Thus George Washington, as the first president and the first Commander and Chief, was also prophetically the eighth, and was of the seven.
作為兩個時期嘅第一任總統，Randolph 代表咗兩個見證人，預表第一位實際嘅總統，即係 George Washington。Washington 由 Randolph 所代表，因此 Randolph 作為 Washington 嘅象徵，不單止傳達咗 Randolph 作為第一任總統嘅先知性特徵，亦都表明 Randolph 乃係第八位，並且係出於七位之中。如此，George Washington 作為第一任總統同埋第一任總司令，喺先知性意義上亦都係第八位，並且係出於七位之中。
Jesus illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning, so the last president and Commander and Chief will be the eighth, that is of the seven. This prophetic fact is established in the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses which is represented by the date of the first waymark of 1776, and publication of the Declaration of Independence.
耶穌以一件事嘅起頭嚟說明其結局，所以，最後一位總統兼總司令將會係第八位，亦即係出於嗰七位之中。呢一個先知性嘅事實，已經喺第一屆同第二屆大陸會議嘅歷史之中被確立；而呢段歷史，乃由第一個路標嘅日期——1776年——以及《獨立宣言》嘅發表所代表。
The waymark of 1776 typifies September 11, 2001, and the Patriot Act, where American independence was placed under the authority of Roman law, and no longer under English law. It marks the beginning of the prophetic period that prepares the way for the papacy to once again take the throne of the earth at the soon-coming Sunday law.
1776年呢個路標預表2001年9月11日同《愛國者法案》，喺嗰時，美國嘅獨立被置於羅馬法嘅權柄之下，不再處於英國法之下。呢個路標標誌住一段預言時期嘅開始；呢段時期為教皇制喺即將來臨嘅星期日法之時，再次登上地上嘅寶座預備道路。
As with the prophetic period represented by 1776, the prophetic period represented the history from the conclusion of the Second Continental Congress in 1781 to 1789, which is the date that identifies the waymark associated with the publication of the Constitution. In that history there were also eight presidents. The history of 1781 to 1789 is the history of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation represented the first Constitution, but the weakness of the Articles of Confederation led to its replacement, and the ratification of the Constitution in 1789.
正如由1776所代表嘅預言時期一樣，呢段預言時期所代表嘅，係由1781年第二次大陸會議結束，直到1789年呢段歷史；1789年呢個日期，標誌住與《憲法》公布相關聯嘅路標。喺嗰段歷史當中，同樣亦有八位總統。1781年至1789年嘅歷史，乃係《邦聯條款》嘅歷史。《邦聯條款》代表第一部《憲法》，但《邦聯條款》嘅軟弱導致佢被取代，並帶嚟1789年《憲法》嘅批准。
In that period the eight presidents consisted of seven presidents who were not presidents in the history of the two Continental Congresses, and one who was also a president in that first prophetic period. John Hancock served in both the second Continental Congress, and also in the period represented by the Articles of Confederation. At the prophetic level, there were only seven men who were president during the two Continental Congresses, thus prophetically John Hancock was one of the eight in the period of the Articles of Confederation, but he was also one of the seven men from the previous period. He was therefore the eighth, that was of the seven.
喺嗰個時期，嗰八位主席乃係由七位喺兩次大陸會議歷史中並非主席的人，以及一位同時亦係喺第一個預言時期作過主席的人所組成。約翰・漢考克既曾喺第二次大陸會議中任職主席，亦曾喺《邦聯條款》所代表嘅時期中任職主席。喺預言層面上，喺兩次大陸會議期間作過主席嘅人只有七位，因此，就預言而言，約翰・漢考克喺《邦聯條款》時期係八位之一，但佢同時亦係前一個時期嗰七人之一。故此，佢就係第八位，卻又係出於嗰七位。
The second prophetic period, represented by 1789, also had a president (Hancock) who was the eighth, but of the seven, as was Payton Randolph in the first prophetic period represented by 1776. 1789 aligns with and represents the January 6, 2021 Pelosi trials.
第二個先知性時期，以1789年為表徵，也有一位總統（Hancock）是第八位，卻又屬於那七位之中；正如第一個先知性時期（以1776年為表徵）中的Payton Randolph一樣。1789與2021年1月6日Pelosi的審訊相對應，並代表之。
“The Lord has faithful watchmen on the walls of Zion to cry aloud and spare not, to lift up their voice like a trumpet, and show His people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins. The Lord has permitted the enemy of truth to make a determined effort against the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. He designs by this means to awaken a decided interest in that question which is a test for the last days. This will open the way for the third angel’s message to be proclaimed with power.
「主喺錫安嘅城牆上設立咗忠心嘅守望者，叫佢哋放聲呼喊，毫不顧惜；揚起聲音如同號角，向祂嘅子民指出佢哋嘅過犯，向雅各家指明佢哋嘅罪惡。主容許真理嘅仇敵，決意向第四條誡命嘅安息日發動攻擊。祂藉此旨意，要喚起人對呢個問題明確而堅定嘅關注；呢個問題乃係末後日子嘅試驗。咁樣，就為第三位天使嘅信息得以大有能力噉宣告開闢道路。」
“Let not one who believes the truth, be silent now. None should be careless now; let all urge their petitions at the throne of grace, pleading the promise, ‘Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do’ (John 14:13). It is a perilous time now. If this land of boasted liberty is preparing to sacrifice every principle which enters into her Constitution, making decrees to suppress religious freedom, and for the enforcing of papal falsehood and delusion, then the people of God need to present their petitions in faith to the Most High. There is every encouragement, in the promises of God, for those who put their trust in Him. The prospect of being brought into personal danger and distress, need not cause despondency, but should quicken the vigor and hopes of God’s people; for the time of their peril is the season for God to grant them clearer manifestations of His power.
「信從真理的人，現今不要緘默。現今誰也不應掉以輕心；總要都在施恩的寶座前迫切陳明他們的祈求，援引這應許：『你們奉我的名無論求甚麼，我必成就。』（約翰福音 14:13）現今乃是危險的時期。倘若這片自誇自由之地，正準備犧牲一切構成其憲法的原則，頒布法令以壓制宗教自由，並強制推行教皇制度的虛謊與迷惑，那麼，上帝的子民就需要憑着信心，向至高者獻上他們的祈求。凡信靠祂的人，在上帝的應許中都能得着充分的鼓勵。將要陷入個人危險與困苦的前景，無須使人灰心喪志，反倒應當激發上帝子民的活力與盼望；因為他們遭遇危難之時，正是上帝賜給他們更清楚彰顯祂權能的時節。」
“We are not to sit in calm expectancy of oppression and tribulation, and fold our hands, doing nothing to avert the evil. Let our united cries be sent up to heaven. Pray and work, and work and pray. But let none act rashly. Learn as never before that you must be meek and lowly in heart. You must not bring a railing accusation against any, whether individuals or churches. Learn to deal with minds as Christ did. Sharp things must sometimes be spoken; but be sure that the Holy Spirit of God is abiding in your heart before you speak the clear-cut truth; then let it cut its way. You are not to do the cutting.” Selected Messages, book 2, 370.
「我哋唔應當安然坐喺度，平靜噉期待壓迫同患難臨到，並且袖手旁觀，乜嘢都唔做，任由邪惡發生。要將我哋同心合意嘅呼求呈達上天。要祈禱並作工，作工並祈禱。但唔好有人行事魯莽。要學習，好似從未學過一樣，你哋必須心裏柔和謙卑。你哋唔可以對任何人提出毀謗性嘅控告，無論係個人抑或教會。要學習好似基督噉對待人心。有時必須講嚴厲嘅話；但喺你講出明確直截嘅真理之前，務要確知上帝嘅聖靈正住喺你心裏；然後就讓真理自行開路。唔係由你去作切割。」《信息選粹》卷二，370頁。
The second waymark in the prophetic period of preparation represented by the Constitution identifies that the Constitution is to be overturned at the next waymark. That second waymark has been typified by John the Baptist, and also by the decree of Justinian, which both identified and presented a warning in connection with the arrival of the last event represented in the period. For John it was the empowerment of Christ as He confirmed His covenant of life with His precious blood, and for Justinian it was the empowerment of the antichrist, who was to ratify his covenant of death with the blood of the martyrs.
由《憲法》所代表之預備時期中，第二個路標指出，《憲法》將於下一個路標被推翻。呢第二個路標曾由施洗約翰所預表，亦曾由查士丁尼之詔令所預表；兩者都係就住該時期所代表之最後事件嘅來臨，作出辨明並提出警告。對施洗約翰而言，呢乃係基督得著權柄之時；祂以自己寶血堅立祂生命之約。至於查士丁尼而言，呢乃係敵基督得著權柄之時；佢將要以殉道者之血確認佢死亡之約。
The Constitution in 1789 identified the empowerment of the two horns of the earth beast, and in so doing, 1789 identified the soon coming destruction of the earth beast’s two horns of power, as represented by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798. When the two witnesses were slain in the streets in the year 2020, they identified and warned of a sustained attack upon the Constitution that are symbolized by the January 6, 2021, Pelosi trials.
1789年嘅《憲法》指明咗地獸兩角獲得權柄；而如此一來，1789年亦指明咗地獸兩角權勢將要快快被毀滅，正如1798年《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》所表徵的一樣。當兩個見證人喺2020年被殺於街上之時，佢哋就指明並警告一場對《憲法》持續不斷嘅攻擊；呢場攻擊乃由2021年1月6日佩洛西審訊所象徵。
January 6, 2021 is the warning about the empowerment of the papacy at the soon-coming Sunday law, as typified by the decree of Justinian in the year 533. January 6, 2021 and the year 533, both give warning of the soon coming Sunday law, as typified by the Sunday law in 538 at the Council of Orleans, and by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, which typified the earth beast speaking as a dragon at the soon coming Sunday law.
2021年1月6日，乃係對教皇制度喺即將來臨嘅星期日法案之下被授予權柄嘅警告，正如主後533年查士丁尼嘅諭令所預表一樣。2021年1月6日同主後533年，兩者都係對即將來臨嘅星期日法案發出警告；呢一點由538年奧爾良會議中嘅星期日法案所預表，亦由1798年嘅《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》所預表，而後者乃預表地獸喺即將來臨嘅星期日法案之時如龍說話。
At the Sunday law the deadly wound of the papacy will be healed, and the eighth head of Revelation chapter seventeen, that is of the seven heads, will be resurrected. The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, represents the earth beast speaking as a dragon, when it not only enforces the worship of the sun, but thereafter forces the entire world to accept the authority of the sea beast of Revelation chapter thirteen, as the eighth head that is of the seven heads. Therefore, in each of the three periods represented within the period of preparation by 1776, 1789 and 1798, the prophetic enigma of the eighth, being of the seven is prophetically represented.
喺星期日法案之時，教皇權致命嘅傷口將會得醫治，而《啟示錄》第十七章中嗰第八個頭，即係出於七個頭之中嘅，將會復活。1798年嘅《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》，象徵地獸如龍說話；當時佢唔單止強制敬拜太陽，其後仲強迫全世界接受《啟示錄》第十三章海獸嘅權柄，作為嗰出於七頭之中嘅第八個頭。因此，喺由1776、1789同1798所代表、處於預備時期之內嘅三個時段之中，「第八個、卻又屬於七個之中」呢一個先知性謎題，都有其先知性嘅表述。
The first two waymarks (1776 and 1789), that identify the enigma, address the riddle being accomplished within the prophetic history of the earth beast, and the third waymark identifies the enigma being accomplished for the papal power.
頭兩個路標（1776同1789）用以識別呢個謎，而呢個謎所指向嘅謎題，乃係喺地獸嘅預言歷史之中成就；至於第三個路標，則識別出嗰個為教皇權勢而成就嘅謎。
We will continue this study in the next article.
我哋將會喺下一篇文章繼續呢項研究。
“‘Saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ Here is clearly presented a form of government in which the legislative power rests with the people, a most striking evidence that the United States is the nation denoted in the prophecy.
「吩咐住在地上嘅人，要為嗰獸立個像。」呢度清楚呈現出一種政體，其立法權係掌握喺人民手中；呢一點乃係極其顯著嘅證據，表明美利堅合眾國就係預言中所指明嘅國家。
“But what is the ‘image to the beast’? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the beast. It is also called an image of the beast. Then to learn what the image is like and how it is to be formed we must study the characteristics of the beast itself—the papacy.
「但乜嘢係『獸像』？佢又係點樣被造成嘅呢？呢個像係由嗰隻有兩角嘅獸所做成，並且係為嗰獸而設嘅一個像。佢亦都被稱為獸的像。咁樣，要明白呢個像係點樣嘅，並且佢又係點樣被造成，我哋就必須研究嗰獸本身——即係教皇制——嘅特徵。」
“When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of ‘heresy.’ In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.
「當早期教會因偏離福音的純樸，並接納異教的儀式和風俗而敗壞之時，她就失去了上帝的靈與能力；為了控制人民的良心，她便尋求世俗政權的支持。其結果就是教皇制——一個控制國家權力，並運用這權力來推進自身目的的教會，尤其是用以懲罰『異端』。美國若要形成獸的像，宗教勢力就必須如此控制民政政府，以致國家的權柄也被教會所運用，去成就她自己的目的。」
“Whenever the church has obtained secular power, she has employed it to punish dissent from her doctrines. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. An example of this is given in the long-continued persecution of dissenters by the Church of England. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, thousands of nonconformist ministers were forced to flee from their churches, and many, both of pastors and people, were subjected to fine, imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom.
「每當教會獲得世俗權力，便會運用呢種權力去懲罰一切偏離其教義嘅人。凡追隨羅馬腳蹤、與世俗勢力結盟嘅新教教會，都表現出同樣要限制良心自由嘅傾向。英國國教會長期迫害持異見者，正係一個例證。喺十六世紀同十七世紀期間，數以千計唔遵從國教規範嘅牧師被迫逃離自己嘅教會；而許多牧者同平信徒，則遭受罰款、監禁、酷刑同殉道。」
“It was apostasy that led the early church to seek the aid of the civil government, and this prepared the way for the development of the papacy—the beast. Said Paul: ‘There’ shall ‘come a falling away, … and that man of sin be revealed.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:3. So apostasy in the church will prepare the way for the image to the beast.
「使早期教會尋求世俗政府援助的，乃是背道；而這就為教皇制度——那獸——的發展預備了道路。保羅說：『必有離道反教的事，……那大罪人也顯露出來。』帖撒羅尼迦後書 2:3。因此，教會中的背道，將為獸像預備道路。」
“The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord there will exist a state of religious declension similar to that in the first centuries. ‘In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.’ 2 Timothy 3:1–5. ‘Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.’ 1 Timothy 4:1. Satan will work ‘with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ And all that ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ will be left to accept ‘strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9–11. When this state of ungodliness shall be reached, the same results will follow as in the first centuries.” The Great Controversy, 443, 444.
《聖經》宣告，在主降臨之前，必有一種宗教衰落嘅景況存在，與最初幾個世紀嘅情形相似。「你該知道，末世必有危險嘅日子來到。因為那時，人要專顧自己，貪愛錢財，自誇，狂傲，褻瀆，違背父母，忘恩負義，不聖潔，無親情，不解怨，好說讒言，不能自約，性情兇暴，不愛良善，賣主賣友，任意妄為，自高自大，愛宴樂，不愛神；有敬虔嘅外貌，卻背了敬虔嘅實意。」提摩太後書 3:1–5。「聖靈明說，在後來嘅時候，必有人離棄真道，聽從那引誘人嘅邪靈和鬼魔嘅道理。」提摩太前書 4:1。撒但必「行各樣嘅異能、神蹟，和一切虛假嘅奇事，並且在那沉淪嘅人身上行各樣出於不義嘅詭詐。」凡「不領受愛真理嘅心，使他們得救」嘅人，就必被任憑去接受「生發錯誤嘅心，叫他們信從虛謊。」帖撒羅尼迦後書 2:9–11。及至呢種不敬虔嘅景況達到之時，所產生嘅結果，亦必與最初幾個世紀一樣。」《善惡之爭》，443、444頁。
