We are considering the “hidden history” of verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven, when it ceases its written testimony at the time of the end in 1989, unto the Sunday law of verse forty-one. The hidden history represents the structure to align all the prophetic lines of the last days upon, for the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand takes place within that hidden history. That history is where the test associated with the formation of the image of the beast occurs. It is therefore the history where Nebuchadnezzar’s hidden dream of the image of the beasts is unsealed. That hidden history is where the hidden history from Donald Trump’s first term concludes in verse two of Daniel eleven, unto verse three aligns. That hidden history is the portion of the prophecy of Daniel that relates to the last days, and it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which is unsealed just before probation closes at the Sunday law. All of these lines of truth are represented as the removal of the seventh and final seal.
我们正在考察但以理书第十一章第四十节的“隐秘历史”，从它在1989年的末时停止其文字见证之处，一直到第四十一节的主日法令。这段隐秘历史构成用以对齐末日一切预言线的结构，因为十四万四千人的印证就发生在其中。那段历史也是与兽像的形成相关的试炼发生之处。因此，那段历史就是尼布甲尼撒关于兽像的隐秘之梦被解封的时期。那段隐秘历史，亦是与唐纳德·特朗普第一任期相关的隐秘历史在但以理书十一章第二节中结束，并与第三节相对齐之处。那段隐秘历史，是但以理书的预言中与末日相关的部分；并且它就是耶稣基督的启示，在主日法令之时恩典之门关闭之前不久被开启。所有这些真理的各条线路都被表明为揭开第七个、也是最后一个封印。
Verses ten through fifteen of Daniel eleven are to be aligned with that hidden history, and the last three of those verses present three prophetic lines. They identify when the papacy intrudes back into history, as it did in the year 200 BC, when pagan Rome first entered the prophetic history represented in Daniel chapter eleven, verse fourteen. That verse, and the fulfillment of that verse in the history of pagan Rome, established the vision, for pagan Rome was the symbol of the power that exalted itself, robbed God’s people and then fell. Apostate Protestantism applied the verse to Antiochus Epiphanes, but the Millerites applied it to pagan Rome, identifying the verse as a testing truth in Millerite history. Today modern Laodicean Adventism’s theologians again teach that it is Antiochus Epiphanes, so it is again a testing truth.
但以理书十一章第十至第十五节应当与那段隐藏的历史相对应，而其中最后三节呈现出三条预言线。它们指出教皇权何时重新介入历史，正如公元前200年那样，当异教罗马首次进入但以理书十一章十四节所代表的预言历史。那一节经文以及其在异教罗马历史中的应验，确立了那异象，因为异教罗马象征着那种自高自大、掠夺上帝子民、随后败落的权势。背道的新教把该节经文应用于安提阿古·伊皮法尼斯，但米勒派将之应用于异教罗马，并认定该节经文在米勒派历史中是一条考验真理。今日处于老底嘉状态的现代复临运动的神学家又教导说那是安提阿古·伊皮法尼斯，因此这再次成为一条考验真理。
Not only is it a testing truth, but the verse and its fulfillment in 200 BC, identifies when the whore of Tyre (modern Rome), begins to sing her satanic songs, and points to the papacy entering into last-day history, and therefore represents the primary testing truth of the last days, that aligns with testing truth represented by the debate of Millerite history.
它不仅是一项考验性的真理，而且这节经文及其在公元前200年的应验，标明推罗的淫妇（现代的罗马）开始唱她那撒但之歌的时点，并指向教皇制度进入末日历史。因此，它代表末日的首要考验真理，并与米勒派历史中的争论所代表的考验真理相一致。
The three verses also represent the line of the Republican horn of the earth beast, and identify the prophetic steps of Donald Trump as he enters into his second term as the eighth president that is of the seven presidents, in a line of presidents that began with Ronald Reagan at the time of the end in 1989. After the Battle of Raphia of verse twelve, “Antiochus” first suppresses a rebellion within the United States, then prepares for a war against globalism, represented by Egypt in the Battle of Panium. Trump wins that war, but the war initiates World War Three (Actium). These activities were typified by Antiochus III Magnus, who had been defeated by Egypt at the Battle of Raphia, but would victoriously retaliate at the Battle of Panium.
这三节经文也代表地兽共和党之角的传承线，并指出唐纳德·特朗普在进入其第二个任期时，作为“那出于七位之中的第八位总统”所走的预言性步骤；这条总统序列始于1989年的“终结之时”，由罗纳德·里根开启。第十二节的拉菲亚之战之后，“安条克”先镇压美国国内的一场叛乱，随后为一场反对全球主义的战争做准备；在帕尼翁之战中，全球主义由埃及所代表。特朗普赢得那场战争，但这场战争引发了第三次世界大战（阿克提乌姆）。这些活动曾由安条克三世大帝所预表：他曾在拉菲亚之战中败于埃及，但后来在帕尼翁之战中卷土重来并获胜。
In verse thirteen, “after a number of years,” Antiochus Magnus, as Uriah Smith states, “Antiochus,” “having suppressed rebellion in his kingdom, and reduced and settled the eastern parts in their obedience, was at leisure for any enterprise when young Epiphanes came to the throne of Egypt; and thinking this too good an opportunity for enlarging his dominion to be let slip, he raised an immense army “greater than the former”. Trump will first suppress a rebellion in his kingdom, and then prepare a larger army than he had when he was previously defeated. Trump was defeated in 2020, in fulfillment of Revelation chapter eleven, when the beast of atheism, representing worldwide globalism, and the globalists of both the Democratic and the Republican parties stole the election, and as a the primary proxy army of the whore of Tyre it will be also a defeat when Putin will be victorious over the Ukraine.
在第十三节，“过了若干年”，安提阿古大帝，正如尤赖亚·史密斯所说，“在他的王国内平息了叛乱，使东方诸地归顺并安定；当年轻的埃皮法涅斯登上埃及的王位时，他得以从容从事任何事业；并认为这是一个扩大其统治的极好机会，不应错过，于是他集结了一支庞大的军队，‘比先前的更大’。” 特朗普将先在他的王国里平定一场叛乱，然后筹备一支比他先前被击败时所拥有的更大的军队。特朗普在2020年被击败，这应验了《启示录》第十一章：当代表全球主义的无神论之兽以及民主党和共和党两党的全球主义者窃取了选举之时；并且，作为推罗淫妇的主要代理军，在普京战胜乌克兰时它也将遭遇失败。
The third prophetic line in the three verses we are considering is the line of apostate Protestantism, as represented by the line of the Maccabees, and their revolt against Antiochus Epiphanes’ attempts to force the religion of Greece upon the Jews. The line of Trump and the line of apostate Protestantism represent the two powers that will ultimately merge into the horn represented as the image of the beast. Verses thirteen through fifteen represent the history that leads to the Sunday law, and the two lines of apostate Protestantism and apostate Republicanism illustrate the interplay of the two powers as they come together and merge Church and State in advance of the Sunday law.
我们正在考察的三节经文中的第三条预言线，是背道的新教这一线，它由马加比人这一线所代表，即他们反抗安提阿古·以比法涅斯企图将希腊宗教强加于犹太人的起义。 特朗普这一线与背道的新教这一线，代表着两股势力，它们最终将合并为那以“兽像”呈现的角。 第十三至第十五节经文描绘了通向主日法令的历史；而背道的新教与背道的共和主义这两条路线，则说明这两股势力如何在主日法令之前彼此互动，走到一起，并促成教政合一。
In past articles we have identified that the three events represented by the dates of 1776, 1789 and 1798, which represent the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Alien and Sedition Acts, and which identify a period that led to the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. For this reason those three waymarks represent three waymarks that lead to the ending of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. We have identified that the twenty-two years that span 1776 unto 1798, symbolize the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for the number twenty-two is a symbol of the combination of divinity with humanity.
在以往的文章中，我们已经指出：以1776年、1789年和1798年为代表的三个事件——分别是《独立宣言》、《宪法》以及《外国人和煽动叛乱法》——标识出一个时期，这个时期导致了地上的兽作为圣经预言中第六个王国的开端。因此，这三个路标也代表着通向圣经预言第六个王国终结的三个路标。我们指出，从1776年至1798年的这二十二年，象征着十四万四千人受印的时期，因为数字二十二象征着神性与人性的结合。
We have identified the history as bearing the signature of “Truth,” for the first and last waymarks represent independence established and independence removed. All three waymarks represent the primary symbol of the earth beast, for they all represent the speaking of the United States, for the “speaking of a nation is an action of the legislative and judicial authorities.” The middle waymark of 1789 and the Constitution was ratified by thirteen colonies, and the middle letter in the Hebrew word “Truth,” is the thirteenth. The twenty-two years from 1776 unto 1798 also align with the twenty-two letters that make up the Hebrew alphabet.
我们已将这段历史识别为带有“真理”印记的历史，因为首尾两个路标分别代表独立的建立与独立的被取消。三个路标都体现了地兽的主要象征，因为它们都代表美国的“说话”，因为“一个国家的说话是其立法与司法当局的行为”。中间的路标是1789年，那一年十三个殖民地批准了《宪法》；而希伯来语“真理”一词的中间字母是第十三个。从1776年至1798年的二十二年，也对应于构成希伯来字母表的二十二个字母。
We have also identified that the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 represent the point where the United States speaks as a dragon. The history of the league of the Jews with Rome, that is part of the line of apostate Protestantism in verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven, represents a period when the image of the beast is formed, and the formation of that image is the final test for the one hundred and forty-four thousand. It is the test they must pass before they are sealed. The league of the Jews from 161 BC to 158 BC is therefore a serious element of the test where those called to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand is accomplished.
我们也已经指出，1798年的《外国人和煽动叛乱法案》标志着美国开始说话如龙的时刻。犹太人与罗马结盟的历史，它在但以理书第十一章13至15节中属于背道新教这一脉络的一部分，代表着一个形成兽像的时期，而这兽像的形成是对十四万四千人的最终考验。这是他们在受印之前必须通过的考验。因此，公元前161年至公元前158年间犹太人与罗马的结盟，因而成为这场考验中的一个关键要素；那些被呼召要列在十四万四千人之中的人，正是在这场考验中得以成就其呼召。
To accept that 161 BC to 158 BC represents a period of time being symbolized by the league of the Jews, opposes the teaching of history, for the historians teach the league was 161 BC while the Millerites taught it was 158 BC, and their conviction of that fact is represented upon both sacred charts.
接受将公元前161年至公元前158年视为一段由犹太人同盟所象征的时期的说法，是与历史学家的教导相抵触的；因为史学家认为该同盟发生在公元前161年，而米勒派则认为是在公元前158年，而且米勒派对这一事实的确信反映在两幅圣图上。
The question is not alone whether the historians are correct in dating 161 BC for the league of the Jews, or if the Millerites were correct in identifying 158 BC. In either of those two choices there is a group which would agree with your choice. The question is whether both the historians and the Millerites are correct, and that the truth concerning the league with the Jews actually represents a period of time, as opposed to one of two possible singular points in history.
问题不仅在于历史学家把与犹太人缔结同盟的年代定为公元前161年是否正确，或米勒派把它认定为公元前158年是否正确。无论在这两种选择中选哪一个，都会有一群人赞同你的选择。问题在于，是否历史学家和米勒派都正确，并且有关与犹太人结盟的真相实际上代表的是一个时间段，而不是历史上两个可能的单一时间点中的一个。
In previous articles we have provided what we believe to be valid sanctified logic that the league with Rome and the Jews represents a period from 161 BC unto 158 BC, and that the period typifies the formation of the image of the beast. This being the case, even the determination to accept that the league of the Jews with Rome is a period of time, becomes a test, and in that prophetic sense it agrees with the fact that the formation of the image of the beast is the “great test for the people of God.”
在先前的文章中，我们提出了我们认为有效且合乎圣洁的逻辑，指出罗马与犹太人之间的联盟代表公元前161年至公元前158年的一个时期，而这一时期预表兽像的形成。既然如此，连对“犹太人与罗马的联盟是一个时间段”的认定本身也成为一种考验；在这种预言性的意义上，这与“兽像的形成是上帝子民的大考验”这一事实相一致。
That being said, 158 BC identifies when the league between the apostate Jews known as the Maccabees was firmly established with Rome, and thus typifies the Sunday law, for the Bible asks the rhetorical question, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” 158 BC identifies where and when apostate Protestantism joins hands with the papal power, and the period which began in 161 BC that led to 158 BC identifies the period of time that is representing the formation of the image of the beast. It is essential to recognize that the period is identifying when apostate Protestantism will join with apostate Republicanism. Both of those apostate powers are represented in verses thirteen through fifteen, so they share some common waymarks.
话虽如此，公元前158年标示出被称为“马加比”的背道犹太人与罗马之间的同盟得到牢固确立之时，因此象征着“星期日法令”，因为《圣经》反问道：“二人若不同心，岂能同行呢？” 公元前158年也标示出背道的新教在何时何地与教皇权势携手；而自公元前161年起、延续至公元前158年的那段时期，则标明了象征“兽像”形成的时期。必须认识到，这段时期所指的是背道的新教将与背道的共和主义联合之时。这两种背道的权势都体现在第十三至第十五节，因此它们共享一些共同的路标。
It is correct to apply 1776, 1789 and 1798 as typifying September 11, 2001, followed by the Pelosi Trials of the false flag movement associated with January 6, 2021, and the inaugural period of Biden’s stolen election, that leads to the Sunday law. In the application the Patriot Act of 2001, aligning with the Declaration of Independence, presents a waymark identifying the beginning of the removal of independence. Then the second waymark of the kangaroo court of Pelosi and Schiff aligning with the ratification of the Constitution, thus typifying the beginning of the overturning of the Constitution, followed by the third waymark of the Alien and Sedition Acts representing the United States speaking as a dragon. To apply these waymarks in this fashion is to identify the waymarks of apostate Protestantism as represented by the Maccabees.
将1776年、1789年和1798年作为对2001年9月11日的预表是正确的，随后是针对与2021年1月6日相关的伪旗运动而由佩洛西主导的审判，以及拜登“被窃选”的就职期间，这一切都通向星期日法案。在这一应用中，2001年的《爱国者法案》与《独立宣言》相对应，呈现出一个路标，标志着独立被剥夺的开端。接着，佩洛西与希夫操控的“袋鼠法庭”的第二个路标与《宪法》的批准相对应，从而预表推翻宪法的开始；随后是第三个路标——《客籍法》和《惩治叛乱法》——代表美国像龙一样说话。以这种方式应用这些路标，就是在识别由马加比人所代表的背道新教的路标。
At another level, to identify the three waymarks in association with apostate Republicanism produces a slightly different application. September 11, 2001 aligns with 1776, but 1789, for apostate Republicanism, aligns with the Alien and Sedition Acts, and establishes a distinction between those “acts” and the speaking of the dragon, that is represented by Sunday enforcement. When the two lines are placed together in the context of the image of the beast test, they form the prophetic structure of the setting up of the image of the beast, and the great test for the people of God is the formation of the image of the beast. For the people of God, the formation of the image of the beast, must first be recognized as it is represented (formed) in God’s Word, in order for those last-day people to recognize that formation in the political and religious world.
在另一个层面上，将这三个路标与背道的共和主义联系起来加以识别，会产生一个略有不同的应用。2001年9月11日与1776年相对应，但对于背道的共和主义而言，1789年则与《外国人及煽动叛乱法案》相对应，并在那些“法案”与龙的说话之间建立了区分，而后者由星期日的强制执行所代表。当这两条线被置于兽像考验的语境中并放在一起时，它们就构成了树立兽像的预言性结构，而摆在上帝子民面前的大考验就是兽像的形成。对于上帝的子民而言，必须首先按着它在上帝的话语中所呈现（所形成）的样子来认识兽像的形成，好使那些末后的子民能够在政治与宗教的世界中识别出那种形成。
So how could the Pelosi Trials of January 6, 2021 align with the Alien and Sedition Acts? The Pelosi Trials mark the celebration by the beast of the bottomless pit who had just slain the rich president who had stirred up globalism. That history of celebration began with the period of Biden’s inauguration and it represents a period that ends with Trump’s second inauguration. It should be noted that Trump campaigns for president three times, and in the first and last he wins, but in the middle his victory was stolen by the power that the Scripture identifies as the father of lies. The Pelosi Trials that began with the stolen election identify a second set of revenge Pelosi Trials that begin when Trump is inaugurated January 20, 2025.
那么，2021年1月6日的佩洛西审判如何与《外国人与煽动叛乱法案》相契合呢？佩洛西审判标志着无底坑之兽的庆祝——它刚刚杀死了那位曾搅动全球主义的富有总统。那段庆祝的历史始于拜登就职期间，并代表一个将在特朗普第二次就职时结束的时期。应当指出，特朗普三次竞选总统，第一次和最后一次他都获胜，但中间那次，他的胜利被圣经称为“谎言之父”的势力所窃取。从被窃取的选举开始的佩洛西审判，指向第二轮报复性的佩洛西审判，而这第二轮将于2025年1月20日特朗普宣誓就职时开始。
The period of the term of Joe Biden’s presidency begins with a series of Pelosi Trials and it ends with a series of Pelosi Trials. Both are political trials, but those prosecuted in the second set of trials are those who led out in the first trials. At Trump’s second inauguration the year 164 BC is marked. Trump’s second inauguration is typified by 164 BC, and the rededicating the Jewish temple represents the rededication of the political temple for a second time.
乔·拜登总统的任期以一系列“佩洛西审判”开始，并以一系列“佩洛西审判”结束。两者都是政治审判，但第二轮审判中被起诉的人，是第一轮审判中带头的人。特朗普的第二次就职典礼以公元前164年为标志。特朗普的第二次就职以公元前164年为预表，而犹太圣殿的重新奉献则代表着政治圣殿第二次的重新奉献。
That was the very year that Antiochus Epiphanes died, and he was the power who pushed the religious practices of Greece upon the Jews, thus causing the Maccabean revolt of 167 BC. At Trump’s second inauguration in 2025, the religion of Greece (globalism) will be fully subdued in the United States, and satanic miracles will begin to empower the work of bringing Church and State together. At that point Trump will sign executive orders that parallel the Alien and Sedition Acts, thus marking the beginning of the formation of the image of the beast (161 BC), and he will begin the second series of Pelosi Trials. The Alien and Sedition Acts mark the beginning of the period of the formation of the image of the beast, and that period ends at the Sunday law, as typified by 158 BC.
那正是安条克·伊皮法尼斯去世的那一年；正是他把希腊的宗教实践强加给了犹太人，从而引发了公元前167年的马加比起义。到2025年特朗普第二次就职时，希腊的宗教（全球主义）将在美国被彻底压制，撒但的神迹将开始助推把教会与国家合一的工作。届时，特朗普将签署与《外侨与煽动叛乱法案》相呼应的行政命令，从而标志着兽像形成的开始（公元前161年），并开启第二轮佩洛西审判。《外侨与煽动叛乱法案》标志着形成兽像时期的开端，而这一时期在星期日法令时结束，正如公元前158年所预表的那样。
Thus, the period that is the formation of the image of the beast begins with the “acts” that allow Trump to shut down the mainstream media, expel illegal aliens and arrest and bring to trial those who are involved with the conspiracy of the Democratic party. The beginning of the period marks the political persecution brought by Trump and it ends with religious persecution.
因此，形成兽像的时期始于那些允许特朗普关闭主流媒体、驱逐非法移民，并逮捕并将参与民主党阴谋之人送上法庭受审的“法案”。这一时期的开端标志着特朗普带来的政治迫害，其终结则是宗教迫害。
In this sense the middle waymark of 1789 and the Constitution, is the Pelosi Trials of 2021, which represent a period that ends with the same history as at the beginning, but the last set of Pelosi Trials is a political reversal of those who are currently being prosecuted and imprisoned. The second waymark in the line of apostate Protestantism is the Pelosi Trials that encompass the presidency of Joe Biden, and the period ends in January 2025, when the waymark of 1789, in the line of apostate Republicanism, arrives on January 20, 2025, with the executive orders that immediately follow Trump’s second inauguration. That begins a period with the nation speaking as a dragon (Alien and Sedition Acts), that leads to the Sunday law where the nation speaks as a dragon. In that period the Constitution, represented by 1789, is progressively overturned.
在这种意义上，介于1789年与宪法之间的中间路标，是2021年的佩洛西审判；它代表一个时期，这个时期以与开端相同的历史结束，但最后一组佩洛西审判则对当前正被起诉和监禁之人的处境进行政治上的逆转。背道的新教路线中的第二个路标，是涵盖乔·拜登总统任期的佩洛西审判，而这一时期在2025年1月结束；届时，背道的共和主义路线中的1789里程碑将于2025年1月20日到来，并伴随特朗普第二次就职后随即发布的行政命令。那将开启一个国家像龙一样说话（《外国人和煽动叛乱法》）的时期，并引向周日法，在那里国家说话如同一条龙。在那段时期，由1789所代表的宪法将被逐步推翻。
At Trump’s second inauguration he becomes the eighth president that is of the seven, and the formation of the image of the beast identifies how the apostate horns of Protestantism and Republicanism come together as one horn, with the Protestants in control of the relationship. In the very same history those who have been called to be the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed in advance of being lifted up as the horn of true Protestantism at the soon coming Sunday law.
在特朗普第二次就职时，他成为那“第八位，却出于那七位中的”总统；而兽像的形成则指明，背道的新教主义与共和主义这两只角如何合并为一只角，并且这段关系由新教徒掌控。就在同一段历史中，那些被呼召成为十四万四千的人，在不久将至的星期日法令之前就预先受了印记，以便在那时被高举为真正新教的那只角。
The sealing message that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which is unsealed just before probation closes, is that portion of Daniel that relates to the last days. That portion which is unsealed is the hidden history of Daniel eleven verse forty, and verses thirteen to fifteen align with that hidden history. Therefore, the message that is unsealed just before probation closes, that has been typified by the hidden prophetic message of Nebuchadnezzar’s image of the beasts, is the very message of the joining of the two sticks of the apostate horns of Protestantism and Republicanism represented by the Maccabees and Antiochus III in verse thirteen through fifteen.
作为耶稣基督之启示的那封印信息，会在恩典期结束之前被解封；它就是但以理书中与末后的日子有关的那一部分。那被解封的部分，就是但以理书十一章四十节的隐藏历史，而第十三至第十五节与那隐藏的历史相一致。因此，那在恩典期结束之前被解封、并且曾被尼布甲尼撒之兽像的隐藏预言信息所预表的信息，正是关于将新教与共和主义这两只背道之角的两根杖连合起来的信息，在第十三至第十五节中由马加比家族与安提阿古三世所代表。
The message identifying the formation of the image of the beast, is the message that conveys the sanctification that seals the true Protestant horn.
揭示兽像形成的那则信息，正是传达那使真正新教之角得以封印的成圣的信息。
In verse fourteen, in the year 200 BC, pagan Rome is first introduced into the prophetic narrative, as it rose up to protect the new infant king of Egypt, from an alliance against Egypt that had been formed by Antiochus III and Philip of Macedon. That year the Battle of Panium was carried out by Antiochus III against Ptolemy V. The introduction of the robbers of thy people, who establish the vision, an alliance between Antiochus and Philip, and the Battle of Panium all took place that year. Therefore, the waymark identifies an alliance between Antiochus, who typifies the Republican horn of the earth beast, and Philip of Macedon, the ancient name for Greece, typifying the United Nations.
在第十四节中，公元前200年，异教罗马首次被引入预言叙事，因为它兴起保护埃及的新生婴孩王，抵御由安提阿古三世与马其顿的腓力所结成的反埃及联盟。那一年，安提阿古三世对托勒密五世发动了帕尼翁之战。“你民中的劫掠者，立起那异象”的引入、安提阿古与腓力的同盟，以及帕尼翁之战，都发生在那一年。因此，这个路标指向安提阿古（预表从地上来的兽的共和之角）与马其顿的腓力（马其顿是希腊的古称，预表联合国）之间的同盟。
At the prophetic level, at the Battle of Panium an alliance between the dragon (Macedon) and the false prophet (USA) takes place. The underlying motivation for the alliance was to divide up the domain of Egypt, which would represent a collapsing Russia.
在预言层面，于帕尼翁之战中，龙（马其顿）与假先知（美国）结成同盟。该同盟的深层动机是瓜分埃及的版图，而埃及在此代表一个正在崩溃的俄罗斯。
When Jesus took His disciples to Panium, it was then named Caesarea Philippi. Herod the Great’s grandson, Herod Philippi had accomplished the restoration of the city and named it after Caesar Augustus and himself, thus Caesarea Philippi. Their relationship represents Rome with Rome, but Philippi is a lesser Rome in relation to Caesar, and at the prophetic level Herod Philippi represents Salome, the daughter of Herodias. Therefore, with the name Caesarea Philippi we find Herod Philippi representing the false prophet, and Caesar representing the papacy.
当耶稣带着门徒前往帕尼乌姆时，那地当时名为该撒利亚腓立比。大希律的孙子希律·腓立比完成了这座城的修复，并以该撒·亚古士督和他自己的名字为城命名，因此称为该撒利亚腓立比。他们之间的关系代表罗马与罗马，但相对于该撒而言，腓立比是较小的罗马；而在预言层面，希律·腓立比代表希罗底的女儿撒罗米。因此，借着该撒利亚腓立比这一名字，我们发现希律·腓立比代表假先知，而该撒代表教皇制度。
Panium’s prophetic history therefore sets forth two alliances, one where the false prophet (Trump) joins hands with the dragon (the United Nations), and the other where the false prophet (Trump) joins hands with the papacy (Caesar). In verse sixteen the Sunday law is represented, and it is there where the threefold union is implemented, but the arrangement was actually put in place prior to the Sunday law, in verse fifteen and the Battle of Panium.
因此，帕尼乌姆的预言历史阐明了两个联盟：其一是伪先知（特朗普）与龙（联合国）携手，其二是伪先知（特朗普）与教皇权（凯撒）携手。第十六节呈现了星期日法令，并且正是在那里实行了三重联盟；但该安排实际上在星期日法令之前就已到位，即在第十五节和帕尼乌姆之战中。
“By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.
“借着一项强制推行教皇制度、并违犯上帝律法的法令，我们的国家将使自己与公义完全断绝。当新教伸手越过鸿沟，与罗马权势握手；当她越过深渊，与招魂术携手；当在这三重联合的影响之下，我国将否弃其宪法作为一个新教并共和政体之一切原则，并为传播教皇制度的谬妄与迷惑作出安排之时，那么我们就可以知道，撒但奇异作为的时候已经来到，末日近了。”《证言》卷五，451页。
We will continue this study in our next article.
我们将在下一篇文章中继续本研究。
“Revelation is not the creation or invention of something new, but the manifestation of what was, until revealed, unknown to human beings. The great and eternal truths contained in the gospel are revealed through diligent searching and humbling of ourselves before God. The divine Teacher leads the mind of the humble seeker for truth; and by the Holy Spirit’s guidance, the truths of the Word are made known to him. And there can be no more certain and efficient way of knowledge than in being thus guided. The promise of the Saviour was, ‘When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.’ It is through the impartation of the Holy Spirit that we are made to understand the Word of God.
启示并不是创造或发明新的事物，而是把在人类尚未知晓之前一直存在的事物显明出来。福音中所包含的伟大而永恒的真理，是通过殷勤的寻求并在神面前自我谦卑而被显明。那位神圣的教师引导谦卑求真之人的心思；借着圣灵的引导，神话语的真理向他得以显明。以如此方式受引导，便没有比这更确切、更有效的得知之道了。救主的应许是：“当那位真理的灵来了，他要引导你们进入一切的真理。”正是借着圣灵的赐下，我们才得以明白神的话语。
“The psalmist writes, ‘Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. . . . Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.’
诗篇作者写道：“少年人要用什么使自己的行为洁净呢？就是要按着你的话谨慎自守。我全心寻求你；求你不要使我偏离你的命令。……求你开我的眼睛，使我看出你律法中的奇妙。”
“We are admonished to seek for the truth as for hid treasure. The Lord opens the understanding of the true seeker after truth; and the Holy Spirit enables him to grasp the truths of revelation. This is what the psalmist means when he asks that his eyes may be opened to behold wondrous things out of the law. When the soul pants after the excellencies of Jesus Christ, the mind is enabled to grasp the glories of the better world. Only by the aid of the divine Teacher can we understand the truths of the Word of God. In Christ’s school we learn to be meek and lowly because there is given to us an understanding of the mysteries of godliness.
我们被劝勉要像寻找隐藏的珍宝那样寻求真理。主开启真正寻求真理之人的悟性；圣灵使他能把握启示的真理。这正是诗人所指的：他求主开他的眼睛，使他看见律法中的奇妙。当天魂切慕耶稣基督的荣美，心思便能领会那更美世界的荣耀。唯有在这位神圣教师的帮助下，我们才能明白神话语的真理。在基督的学校里，我们学会温柔谦卑，因为他赐给我们对敬虔之奥秘的认识。
“He who inspired the Word was the true expositor of the Word. Christ illustrated his teachings by calling the attention of his hearers to the simple laws of nature, and to the familiar objects which they daily saw and handled. Thus he led their minds from the natural to the spiritual. Many failed of grasping at once the meaning of his parables; but as they day by day came in contact with the objects with which the Great Teacher had associated spiritual truths, some discerned the lessons of divine truth he had sought to impress, and these were convinced of the truth of his mission and converted to the gospel.” Sabbath School Worker, December 1, 1909.
那位默示圣言者，正是真正阐释圣言者。基督藉着引导听众注意自然界的简单法则，以及他们每日所见所触的熟悉事物，来说明他的教训。如此，他把他们的心思从自然之事引向属灵之事。许多人未能立刻领会他比喻的含义；但当他们日复一日接触到那些这位大教师用来联系属灵真理的事物时，有些人领悟了他所要铭刻于他们心中的神圣真理的教训，因而确信他使命的真实性，并归信了福音。 《安息日学校工作者》，1909年12月1日。
