Umlando owaqala ngoClovis ngo-496 futhi ekugcineni waholela esimemezelweni sikaJustinian ngo-533 nasekubekweni kobupapa esihlalweni sobukhosi ngo-538, umele umlando ka-1989 kuze kufike umthetho weSonto.”

Phakathi neminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu kusukela ku-1951 kuze kube ngu-1984, ukumelana kobuProthestani nobuKatolika kwaphela. “Izingalo” ezamela uphapha ngo-496 noClovis ziyisifaniso sikaReagan ngo-1984 kuqhubeke kuze kube ngu-1989. UClovis wayemele ukususwa kwenkolo (ubuqaba) eyayivimbela uphapha ekubuyeleni emandleni, futhi ngo-1984 ukumelana kobuProthestani nokuvuka kophapha kwase kususiwe. “Okwansuku zonke” (ubuqaba) kwakususwe, futhi uPawulu uchaza lokho kususwa kokumelana kobuqaba nophapha njengokuthi “ukuhlubuka.”

“Lokhu kuyekethisa phakathi kobuqaba nobuKristu kwaholela ekuthuthukisweni ‘komuntu wesono’ owabikezelwa esiprofethweni njengomelene noNkulunkulu futhi eziphakamisa ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu. Lolo hlelo olukhulu lwenkolo yamanga luyingcweti yobuciko bamandla kaSathane—isikhumbuzo semizamo yakhe yokuzihlalisa esihlalweni sobukhosi ukuze abuse umhlaba ngokwentando yakhe.” The Great Controversy, 50.
UReagan waduma ngokubiza iSoviet Union ngokuthi “umbuso omubi” enkulumweni yango-1983, futhi wabheka ubuKhomanisi obungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu njengosongo olujulile lokuziphatha nolukamoya. Yena noJohn Paul II bakha ubudlelwano obuseduze bomuntu siqu nobepolitiki obabulwisana nobuKhomanisi baseSoviet. Womabili la madoda alubona lolu daba lokulwa ngezindlela zokuziphatha, futhi ngisho nangokombono wokuhlinzekwa kukaNkulunkulu; uReagan wakhuluma ngasese “ngoHlelo lukaNkulunkulu” lokuwisa ubuKhomanisi. UReagan wayenesithakazelo ezibonakalweni zaseFatima (isexwayiso sokuthi “iRussia yayizosabalalisa amaphutha ayo”), futhi laba baholi ababili baxoxa ngokuqonda kwabo okufanayo kokuthi uNkulunkulu wayelondoloze izimpilo zabo (bobabili basinda emizamweni yokubabulala ngo-1981) ngenhloso ehlobene nokunqoba ubuKhomanisi.

Isiprofetho esiphindwe kabili sikhomba kokubili ukwahlulelwa kwabantu besivumelwano bokugcina kanye nokwahlulelwa kwesizwe lapho labo bantu besivumelwano bethola khona izimpande zabo.

USisi White uchaza incwadi ka-Uriah Smith ethi, Daniel and the Revelation, ngokuthi “isandla sikaNkulunkulu esisizayo.” USmith uchaza umkhankaso ka-Antiochus onezigaba ezimbili ekuphawuleni kwakhe ngamavesi eshumi nane neshumi nanhlanu kaDaniyeli ishumi nanye.
“Ukufundiswa kwenkosi encane yaseGibhithe kwaphathiswa yiSigele saseRoma ku-M. Emilius Lepidus, owamisa u-Aristomenes, isikhulu esidala nesinolwazi saleyo nkantolo, ukuba abe ngumqaphi wayo. Isenzo sakhe sokuqala kwakuwukuvikela ekuhlaselweni okwakusongelwa yila makhosi amabili ayebumbene, uPhilip no-Antiochus.
“Ngale njongo wathuma uSkopasi, induna yempi edumile yase-Aetolia, ngaleso sikhathi eyayisemsebenzini wabaseGibhithe, ezweni lakubo ukuba aqoqe izinsiza zokuqinisa ibutho. Esengihlome ibutho, wangena ePalestina naseKoweli-Siriya (u-Antiyokusi esabambeke empini no-Athalusi e-Asia Encane), waletha lonke elakwaJuda ngaphansi kokubuswa yigunya laseGibhithe.
“Ngaleyo ndlela izindaba zafinyelelwa esimweni esasilungiselelwe ukugcwaliseka kwevesi eliphambi kwethu. Ngokuba u-Antiochus, eyeka impi yakhe no-Attalus ngokuyalelwa kwamaRoma, wathatha izinyathelo ezisheshayo zokubuyisa iPalestina neCoele-Syria ezandleni zamaGibhithe. U-Scopas wathunyelwa ukuba amelane naye. Eduze nemithombo yeJordani, amabutho amabili ahlangana. [Panium] U-Scopas wanqotshwa, waxoshwa kwaze kwaba seSidoni, futhi lapho wavinjwa ngokuqinile. Ojenene abathathu abahlakaniphe kakhulu baseGibhithe, kanye namabutho abo angcono kunawo wonke, bathunyelwa ukuba bakhulule ukuvinjezelwa, kodwa ngaphandle kwempumelelo. Ekugcineni u-Scopas, ebhekene, esithunzini esibuthakathaka nesingabambeki sendlala, nesitha ayengakwazi ukumelana naso, waphoqeleka ukuba azinikele ngemibandela eyihlazo yokusindiswa kwempilo kuphela; ngakho-ke yena namadoda akhe ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi bavunyelwa ukuhamba, bephucwe konke benqunu. Lapha kwakukhona ukuthathwa kwemizi evikelwe kakhulu yinkosi yasenyakatho; ngokuba iSidoni, kokubili ngokwendawo yayo nangokuvikelwa kwayo, yayingenye yemizi enamandla kakhulu yalezo zikhathi. Lapha kwakukhona ukwehluleka kwezikhali zaseningizimu ukumelana, kanye nokwehluleka kwabantu futhi inkosi yaseningizimu eyayibakhethile; okungukuthi, u-Scopas namabutho akhe ama-Aetolia.” Daniel and the Revelation, 257, 258.

Ababoni ukuthi bashaya ngqo inkululeko yenkolo. Baningi abangakaze baqonde izimangalo zeSabatha leBhayibheli nesisekelo samanga okumi kuso umkhuba weSonto.

Ukugcinwa kweSonto kukhona ngenxa yokuthi, njengomkhuba okuthiwa ungowobuKristu, kuvela ‘emfihlakalweni yobubi;’ futhi ukuphoqelelwa kwalo kuyoba ukuvuma ngokoqobo izimiso ezingumgogodla uqobo wobuRoma. Lapho isizwe sakithi siyobe sesizilahla kanjalo izimiso zombuso waso size simise umthetho weSonto, ubuProthestani buyothi ngalesi senzo buhlanganise izandla nobupapa; lokhu kuyobe kungeyikho okunye ngaphandle kokunika ukuphila ubushiqela obekunesikhathi eside bulokhu bubheke ngentshiseko ithuba labo lokuba buphinde buvuke bungene embusweni wobudlova obusebenzayo.” Testimonies, volume 5, 711.
