The book The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, was written by Malachi Martin, and it was first published in 1990. Martin examines the role of Pope John Paul II as a transformative figure in global politics and diplomacy during the latter half of the 20th century. He discusses the Pope’s role in the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. The book presents a Catholic perspective of the dynamics that brought about the fulfillment of verse forty of Daniel eleven, at the time of the end in 1989.

Knjigu The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West napisao je Malachi Martin, a prvi je put objavljena 1990. godine. Martin razmatra ulogu pape Ivana Pavla II. kao preobrazbene osobe u svjetskoj politici i diplomaciji tijekom druge polovice 20. stoljeća. Raspravlja o Papinoj ulozi u slomu komunizma u istočnoj Europi. Knjiga iznosi katoličko gledište na dinamiku koja je dovela do ispunjenja četrdesetog retka jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela, u vrijeme svršetka 1989. godine.

Martin analyzes the internal dynamics of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, particularly focusing on Gorbachev’s policies of “glasnost” (openness) and “perestroika” (restructuring). He discusses the challenges facing the Soviet Union and Gorbachev’s attempts to reform the Communist system. He explores the geopolitical tensions and power struggles between the Soviet Union (the king of the south—the dragon), the Catholic Church (the king of the north—the beast), and what he calls the capitalist West (the king of the north’s proxy army—the false prophet). He discusses the ideological conflicts, espionage, and covert operations that characterized the Cold War era and examines the efforts of various actors to shape the future of the world.

Martin analizira unutarnju dinamiku Sovjetskoga Saveza pod vodstvom Mihaila Gorbačova, osobito se usredotočujući na Gorbačovljeve politike „glasnosti” (otvorenosti) i „perestrojke” (preustroja). Raspravlja o izazovima s kojima se Sovjetski Savez suočavao i o Gorbačovljevim nastojanjima da reformira komunistički sustav. Istražuje geopolitičke napetosti i borbe za moć između Sovjetskoga Saveza (kralja juga — zmaja), Katoličke Crkve (kralja sjevera — zvijeri) i onoga što naziva kapitalističkim Zapadom (zamjenskom vojskom kralja sjevera — lažnim prorokom). Raspravlja o ideološkim sukobima, špijunaži i prikrivenim operacijama koje su obilježile razdoblje Hladnoga rata te ispituje nastojanja različitih aktera da oblikuju budućnost svijeta.

Martin emphasizes the significance of Catholicism as a force in global politics and diplomacy. He argues that the Catholic Church, under the leadership of Pope John Paul II, played a pivotal role in shaping the course of history during this period and influencing the outcome of the Cold War. He places John Pauls’ influence in the context of the Marian apparitions at Fatima, Portugal, and identifies the influence of Fatima upon global events and the Catholic Church’s role in shaping the course of history. Martin suggests that the events at Fatima hold significant prophetic and geopolitical implications, particularly in the context of the Cold War era.

Martin naglašava značenje katolicizma kao sile u globalnoj politici i diplomaciji. Tvrdi da je Katolička Crkva, pod vodstvom pape Ivana Pavla II., odigrala ključnu ulogu u oblikovanju tijeka povijesti tijekom toga razdoblja i u utjecanju na ishod Hladnoga rata. Utjecaj Ivana Pavla stavlja u kontekst marijanskih ukazanja u Fatimi, u Portugalu, te prepoznaje utjecaj Fatime na svjetske događaje i ulogu Katoličke Crkve u oblikovanju tijeka povijesti. Martin sugerira da događaji u Fatimi imaju značajne proročke i geopolitičke implikacije, osobito u kontekstu razdoblja Hladnoga rata.

Martin explores the three secrets of Fatima, which were allegedly revealed by the Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in Fatima in 1917. He suggests that the third secret, which was initially kept secret by the Vatican and only revealed in 2000, contained apocalyptic warnings about the future of the Catholic Church and the world. Martin argues that the events at Fatima, including the apparitions and the messages conveyed by the Virgin Mary, had significant implications for global politics and the struggle between communism and capitalism during the Cold War era.

Martin istražuje tri fatimske tajne, koje je navodno Djevica Marija objavila troje mladih pastirske djece u Fatimi 1917. godine. On sugerira da je treća tajna, koju je Vatikan isprva držao u tajnosti i objavio tek 2000. godine, sadržavala apokaliptična upozorenja o budućnosti Katoličke Crkve i svijeta. Martin tvrdi da su događaji u Fatimi, uključujući ukazanja i poruke koje je prenijela Djevica Marija, imali znatne implikacije za globalnu politiku i za borbu između komunizma i kapitalizma tijekom razdoblja Hladnoga rata.

Martin highlights the role of Pope John Paul II as a key figure in the fulfillment of the prophecies of Fatima. He suggests that John Paul II saw himself as the “bishop in white” mentioned in the third secret of Fatima and that he viewed his papacy as a mission to confront the forces of evil and promote spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church and society at large.

Martin ističe ulogu pape Ivana Pavla II. kao ključne osobe u ispunjenju fatimskih proročanstava. On sugerira da je Ivan Pavao II. sebe smatrao „biskupom u bijelom” spomenutim u trećoj fatimskoj tajni te da je svoju papinsku službu promatrao kao poslanje sučeljavanja sa silama zla i promicanja duhovne obnove unutar Katoličke Crkve i društva u cjelini.

Martin suggests that the messages of Fatima emphasized the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for the Catholic Church to confront the forces of evil, both within and outside the Church. He argues that the events at Fatima provided a spiritual and moral framework for understanding and addressing the challenges facing humanity in the modern world. The Fatima messages represent the satanic message which conditions Catholicism to accept Satan as Christ, when he “personates” Christ at the soon coming Sunday law.

Martin sugerira da su poruke iz Fatime naglašavale važnost duhovnoga ratovanja i potrebu da se Katolička crkva suprotstavi silama zla, kako unutar tako i izvan Crkve. On tvrdi da su događaji u Fatimi pružili duhovni i moralni okvir za razumijevanje i suočavanje s izazovima pred kojima se čovječanstvo nalazi u suvremenom svijetu. Fatimske poruke predstavljaju sotonsku poruku koja uvjetuje katolicizam da prihvati Sotonu kao Krista, kada on „glumi” Krista pri uskoro dolazećem nedjeljnom zakonu.

> “Satan will work miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.

> „Sotona će činiti čudesa kako bi prevario one koji prebivaju na zemlji. Spiritizam će izvršavati svoje djelo tako što će se mrtvi oponašati. Ona vjerska tijela koja odbiju poslušati Božje poruke upozorenja bit će pod snažnom prijevarom i ujedinit će se s građanskom vlašću da progone svete. Protestantske će se crkve ujediniti s papinskom vlašću u progonu Božjega naroda koji drži zapovijedi. To je ona sila koja sačinjava veliki sustav progonstva koji će vršiti duhovnu tiraniju nad savjestima ljudi.“

> “‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.

> „Imao je dva roga kao janje, a govoraše kao zmaj.“ Premda ispovijedaju da su sljedbenici Jaganjca Božjega, ljudi se prožimaju duhom zmaja. Ispovijedaju da su krotki i ponizni, ali govore i donose zakone u duhu Sotone, pokazujući svojim djelima da su suprotnost onomu što ispovijedaju da jesu. Ta janjetu slična sila sjedinjuje se sa zmajem u vođenju rata protiv onih koji drže zapovijedi Božje i imaju svjedočanstvo Isusa Krista. A Sotona se udružuje s protestantima i papistima, djelujući u sporazumu s njima kao bog ovoga svijeta, nalažući ljudima kao da su podanici njegova kraljevstva, da se s njima postupa, da ih se upravlja i nadzire kako se njemu prohtije.

> “If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘He causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘He had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

> „Ako ljudi ne pristanu pogaziti Božje zapovijedi, otkriva se duh zmaja. Oni bivaju utamničeni, izvedeni pred vijeća i kažnjeni globom. ‘I učini da svi, mali i veliki, bogati i siromašni, slobodni i robovi, prime žig na svoju desnicu ili na svoja čela’ [Otkrivenje 13:16]. ‘I dano joj bi da udahne život slici Zvijeri, te slika Zvijeri progovori i učini da budu pobijeni svi koji se ne bi poklonili slici Zvijeri’ [redak 15]. Tako Sotona prisvaja Jehovina prava. Čovjek grijeha sjedi na Božjem prijestolju, proglašavajući sebe Bogom i djelujući iznad Boga.” Manuscript Releases, svezak 14, 162.

Antichrist is a symbol of both the pope of Rome, and Satan, for the pope of Rome is Satan’s earthly representative. “Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Satan intends to so control the world when he takes control that he will dictate “to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.” In order to have a religious throne to rule from He created the Catholic Church, and in order to have a political throne to rule from he created the United Nations.

Antikrist je simbol i rimskoga pape i Sotone, jer rimski papa jest Sotonin zemaljski predstavnik. „Tako Sotona prisvaja Jehovine prerogative. Čovjek grijeha sjedi na Božjem prijestolju, proglašavajući sebe Bogom i djelujući iznad Boga.” Sotona namjerava tako zavladati svijetom kad preuzme vlast da će ljudima naređivati „kao da su podanici njegova kraljevstva, da se s njima postupa, da ih se upravlja i nadzire kako je njemu po volji.” Da bi imao vjersko prijestolje s kojega će vladati, stvorio je Katoličku crkvu, a da bi imao političko prijestolje s kojega će vladati, stvorio je Ujedinjene narode.

> “This compromise between paganism and Christianity resulted in the development of ‘the man of sin’ foretold in prophecy as opposing and exalting himself above God. That gigantic system of false religion is a masterpiece of Satan’s power—a monument of his efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule the earth according to his will.” The Great Controversy, 50.

> „Ovaj kompromis između poganstva i kršćanstva doveo je do razvoja ‘čovjeka grijeha’ prorečenoga u proročanstvu kao onoga koji se protivi Bogu i uzvisuje se iznad Boga. Taj golemi sustav lažne religije remek-djelo je Sotonine moći — spomenik njegovih nastojanja da se postavi na prijestolje kako bi vladao zemljom prema svojoj volji.” Velika borba, 50.

The miracle of Fatima, and its satanic prophecy is what Satan has employed to prepare a prophetic setting that allows Catholicism to quickly surrender their church into His control, when he appears, and personates Christ. His personation of Christ begins at the soon coming Sunday law, represented in verse sixteen, verse twenty-two, verse thirty-one and verse forty-one of Daniel chapter eleven.

Čudo u Fatimi i njegovo sotonsko proročanstvo ono su čime se Sotona poslužio da pripravi proročki okvir koji katolicizmu omogućuje da svoju crkvu brzo preda pod njegovu vlast kada se on pojavi i lažno se predstavi kao Krist. Njegovo lažno predstavljanje Krista započinje pri uskoro nadolazećem zakonu o nedjelji, prikazanom u šesnaestom, dvadeset drugom, trideset prvom i četrdeset prvom retku jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela.

> “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.

> „Dekretom kojim se nameće ustanova papinstva kršenjem Božjega zakona, naš će se narod u potpunosti odvojiti od pravednosti. Kada protestantizam pruži svoju ruku preko provalije da uhvati ruku rimske vlasti, kada posegne preko bezdana da se rukuje sa spiritizmom, kada se, pod utjecajem toga trostrukog saveza, naša zemlja odrekne svakoga načela svojega Ustava kao protestantske i republikanske vlasti te osigura sredstva za širenje papinskih laži i zabluda, tada možemo znati da je došlo vrijeme za čudesno djelovanje Sotone i da je kraj blizu.” Testimonies, sv. 5, 451.

At the Sunday law in the United States, the “time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” In Revelation chapter thirteen, verse eleven, the United States “speaks” as a dragon, and then in verse thirteen, which is simply identifying what happens when the United States “speaks,” by passing the Sunday law, Satan appears to call fire down out of heaven.

U vrijeme donošenja nedjeljnog zakona u Sjedinjenim Državama, „došlo je vrijeme za čudesno djelovanje Sotone“. U Otkrivenju, trinaestom poglavlju, jedanaestom retku, Sjedinjene Države „govore“ kao zmaj, a zatim u trinaestom retku, koji jednostavno označava što se događa kada Sjedinjene Države „govore“, donošenjem nedjeljnog zakona, Sotona se pojavljuje kao onaj koji spušta oganj s neba.

> “Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

> „Sluge Božje, s licima obasjanim i sjajnim od svetoga posvećenja, žurit će od mjesta do mjesta da objave poruku s neba. Tisućama glasova, po svoj zemlji, bit će dana opomena. Činit će se čudesa, bolesni će biti iscijeljeni, a znakovi i čudesa pratit će vjernike. I Sotona djeluje, lažnim čudesima, čak spuštajući oganj s neba pred očima ljudi. Otkrivenje 13,13. Tako će stanovnici zemlje biti navedeni da zauzmu svoj stav.” Velika borba, 611, 612.

The messages of Fatima were confirmed by a miracle that was testified to by the atheistic government newspapers that attended the event in order to refute the claims that had been made about the so-called Virgin Mary visiting the three children on the thirteenth day of the month from May until the miracle on October 13, 1917. Every atheistic news organization that was at Fatima at the time of the miracle confirmed the event. It was a genuine miracle (of Satan).

Poruke iz Fatime bile su potvrđene čudom o kojem su posvjedočile ateističke vladine novine koje su prisustvovale tom događaju kako bi opovrgnule tvrdnje koje su bile iznesene o tome da takozvana Djevica Marija posjećuje troje djece trinaestoga dana u mjesecu od svibnja pa sve do čuda 13. listopada 1917. Svaka ateistička novinska organizacija koja se u vrijeme čuda nalazila u Fatimi potvrdila je taj događaj. Bilo je to istinsko čudo (Sotonino).

As Malachi Martin identified in his book, Pope John Paul was guided by his devotion to Mary of Fatima. The secret prophecy of Fatima, that was not revealed until the year 2000, was of course a satanic prophecy, but in the last days Jesus repeats the first days. The oldest book in the Bible, the first book that Moses wrote is the book of Job, and it identifies that Job, who represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for all the prophecies are fulfilled most perfectly in the last days. Satan, in the story of Job, is allowed to bring death and destruction upon Job, for the purpose of testing Job. The miracles that Satan is allowed to accomplish in the last days, are genuine miracles. They are satanic miracles, but God has allowed Satan to accomplish his crowning act, for the same purpose that he allowed Satan to test Job.

Kao što je Malachi Martin ustvrdio u svojoj knjizi, papa Ivan Pavao bio je vođen svojom pobožnošću prema Mariji iz Fatime. Tajno proročanstvo iz Fatime, koje nije bilo objavljeno sve do godine 2000., bilo je, dakako, sotonsko proročanstvo, ali u posljednjim danima Isus ponavlja prve dane. Najstarija knjiga u Bibliji, prva knjiga koju je Mojsije napisao, jest Knjiga o Jobu, i ona pokazuje da Job, koji predstavlja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, jer se sva proročanstva na najsavršeniji način ispunjavaju u posljednjim danima. Sotoni je, u priči o Jobu, dopušteno donijeti smrt i razaranje na Joba, sa svrhom da iskuša Joba. Čudesa koja je Sotoni dopušteno učiniti u posljednjim danima jesu istinska čudesa. Ona su sotonska čudesa, ali Bog je dopustio Sotoni da izvrši svoj krunski čin, iz iste svrhe iz koje je dopustio Sotoni da iskuša Joba.

> “Many endeavor to account for spiritual manifestations by attributing them wholly to fraud and sleight of hand on the part of the medium. But while it is true that the results of trickery have often been palmed off as genuine manifestations, there have been, also, marked exhibitions of supernatural power. The mysterious rapping with which modern spiritualism began was not the result of human trickery or cunning, but was the direct work of evil angels, who thus introduced one of the most successful of soul-destroying delusions. Many will be ensnared through the belief that spiritualism is a merely human imposture; when brought face to face with manifestations which they cannot but regard as supernatural, they will be deceived, and will be led to accept them as the great power of God.

> „Mnogi nastoje objasniti duhovne pojave pripisujući ih u potpunosti prijevari i spretnosti ruku od strane medija. No premda je istina da su se rezultati varki često podmetali kao stvarne manifestacije, bilo je također izrazitih očitovanja nadnaravne sile. Tajanstveno kucanje s kojim je započeo moderni spiritizam nije bilo rezultat ljudske prijevare ni lukavstva, nego izravno djelo zlih anđela, koji su tako uveli jednu od najuspješnijih zabluda što vode u propast duše. Mnogi će biti uhvaćeni u zamku zbog uvjerenja da je spiritizam samo ljudska obmana; kada budu dovedeni licem u lice s pojavama koje ne mogu ne smatrati nadnaravnima, bit će prevareni i bit će navedeni da ih prihvate kao veliku Božju silu.“

> “These persons overlook the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the wonders wrought by Satan and his agents. It was by satanic aid that Pharaoh’s magicians were enabled to counterfeit the work of God. Paul testifies that before the second advent of Christ there will be similar manifestations of satanic power. The coming of the Lord is to be preceded by ‘the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10. And the apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days, declares: ‘He doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do.’ Revelation 13:13, 14. No mere impostures are here foretold. Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do.” The Great Controversy, 553.

> „Ti ljudi zanemaruju svjedočanstvo Svetoga pisma o čudesima što ih je Sotona učinio preko svojih oruđa. Uz pomoć sotonske sile faraonovi su vračari bili osposobljeni oponašati Božje djelo. Pavao svjedoči da će prije Kristova drugog dolaska biti sličnih očitovanja sotonske moći. Gospodinovu dolasku prethodit će ‘djelovanje Sotonino sa svakom silom i znakovima i lažnim čudesima, i sa svakom prijevarom nepravednosti.’ 2 Solunjanima 2:9,10. A apostol Ivan, opisujući čudotvornu silu koja će se očitovati u posljednjim danima, izjavljuje: ‘I čini velika čudesa, tako da i oganj spušta s neba na zemlju pred ljudima, i zavodi one koji prebivaju na zemlji čudesima koja mu je dano činiti.’ Otkrivenje 13:13, 14. Ovdje nisu prorečene puke prijevare. Ljudi su zavedeni čudima koja Sotonina oruđa imaju moć činiti, a ne onima koja se samo pretvaraju da čine.” Velika borba, 553.

The messages of Fatima in Malachi Martin’s book are represented as the prophetic structure of Catholicism in the last days, in relation to an internal struggle within the church, that can be represented as either the good pope versus the bad pope, or the conservative pope versus the liberal pope. The conservative, and according to Martin’s reading of the miracle, the good pope, bases his understanding upon the First Vatican Council, also known as Vatican I, which took place from December 8, 1869 to July 20, 1870, convened by Pope Pius IX and primarily focused on defining the dogma of papal infallibility and addressing various theological and doctrinal issues facing the Catholic Church at the time. The Second Vatican Council, commonly known as Vatican II, was held much later, from October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965. It was convened by Pope John XXIII and continued by Pope Paul VI after John XXIII’s death.

Poruke Fatime u knjizi Malachija Martina prikazane su kao proročka struktura katolicizma u posljednjim danima, u odnosu na unutarnju borbu unutar Crkve, koja se može predstaviti ili kao dobri papa nasuprot lošemu papi, ili kao konzervativni papa nasuprot liberalnomu papi. Konzervativni papa, i prema Martinovu tumačenju čuda dobri papa, svoje razumijevanje temelji na Prvom vatikanskom saboru, također poznatom kao Vaticanum I., koji se održavao od 8. prosinca 1869. do 20. srpnja 1870., a sazvao ga je papa Pio IX. te je bio ponajprije usredotočen na definiranje dogme o papinskoj nepogrješivosti i na razmatranje raznih teoloških i doktrinarnih pitanja s kojima se Katolička Crkva u to vrijeme suočavala. Drugi vatikanski sabor, općenito poznat kao Vaticanum II., održan je mnogo kasnije, od 11. listopada 1962. do 8. prosinca 1965. Sazvao ga je papa Ivan XXIII., a nakon smrti Ivana XXIII. nastavio ga je papa Pavao VI.

The last days of Catholicism, as Martin expressed it, identifies the struggle between the infallibility and primacy of the church of Rome as set forth in Vatican I, versus the liberalism that is currently on display by Francis the woke-pope, and represented in the documents of Vatican II. Martin suggests that within the struggle for these two approaches of controlling the church, the third world war breaks out, and Jesus returns, comes down to earth and places his blessing upon the good pope and takes the throne of the Catholic church.

Posljednji dani katolicizma, kako ih je Martin izrazio, označuju borbu između nepogrešivosti i primata Rimske crkve, kako su izloženi na Prvom vatikanskom saboru, nasuprot liberalizmu koji trenutno očituje Franjo, „woke-papa“, i koji je predstavljen u dokumentima Drugoga vatikanskog sabora. Martin naznačuje da usred borbe između ta dva pristupa upravljanju Crkvom izbija treći svjetski rat te da se Isus vraća, silazi na zemlju, polaže svoj blagoslov na dobroga papu i preuzima prijestolje Katoličke crkve.

In verses thirteen through fifteen, of Daniel eleven, the history that immediately precedes the Sunday law of verse sixteen, describes the third and final battle of the proxy wars. It is the battle that follows Putin’s victory in verses eleven and twelve, but in the middle of those three verses, verse fourteen identifies when Catholicism enters into the history of the last days.

U recima trinaest do petnaest, u Danielu 11, povijest koja neposredno prethodi zakonu o nedjelji iz šesnaestoga retka opisuje treću i završnu bitku posredničkih ratova. To je bitka koja slijedi nakon Putinove pobjede u recima jedanaest i dvanaest, ali usred ta tri retka, četrnaesti redak utvrđuje kada katolicizam ulazi u povijest posljednjih dana.

According to Isaiah the whore of Rome is forgotten during the symbolic seventy-year reign of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The first time the papacy was enthroned upon the earth in 538, the waymark that preceded her enthronement was the decree of Justinian in 533.

Prema Izaiji, rimska je bludnica zaboravljena tijekom simbolične sedamdesetogodišnje vladavine šestoga kraljevstva biblijskog proročanstva. Kada je papinstvo prvi put bilo ustoličeno na zemlji 538. godine, putokaz koji je prethodio njegovu ustoličenju bio je Justinijanov dekret iz 533. godine.

The history surrounding Justinian’s decree identifies that Justinian sought to consolidate his control over his kingdom by bringing an end to the religious argument that had been causing turmoil in the kingdom. That argument was whether the church in Constantinople in the east, or the church in Rome in the west was the head of the so-called Christian church. In verse thirteen, the last president of the United States will be confronted with a controversy that forces him to parallel the history of Justinian, and declare that the Catholic church is the head of the churches, and the corrector of heretics, in order to establish the necessary political support to consolidate his power.

Povijest koja okružuje Justinijanov dekret pokazuje da je Justinijan nastojao učvrstiti svoju vlast nad svojim kraljevstvom tako što će okončati vjerski spor koji je izazivao previranja u kraljevstvu. Taj se spor odnosio na pitanje je li crkva u Carigradu na istoku ili crkva u Rimu na zapadu glava takozvane kršćanske crkve. U trinaestom retku posljednji predsjednik Sjedinjenih Američkih Država bit će suočen sa sporom koji će ga prisiliti da usporedi svoju povijest s Justinijanovom poviješću te proglasi da je Katolička crkva glava crkava i ispravljačica heretika, kako bi uspostavio potrebnu političku potporu za učvršćenje svoje vlasti.

We should not place any confidence in the satanic predictions of Fatima, but we are required to see what is revealed in God’s Word. In the beginning of the twentieth century both horns of the earth beast entered into their third generation, which is the generation of compromise. The Republican horn surrendered its financial system to the world bankers, which trace their origins back to the house of the Red Shield, the Rothschilds, and its mysterious connection with the Illuminati, Freemasonry, secret societies and the Jesuit order. Sister White directly warns of these entities. During the same period of time Laodicean Adventism, as the Protestant horn, surrendered its educational and religious institutions to the governing of the world.

Ne bismo smjeli polagati nikakvo pouzdanje u sotoninska fatimska proročanstva, nego smo dužni vidjeti ono što je otkriveno u Božjoj Riječi. Početkom dvadesetoga stoljeća oba su roga zemaljske zvijeri ušla u svoj treći naraštaj, koji je naraštaj kompromisa. Republikanski rog predao je svoj financijski sustav svjetskim bankarima, koji svoje podrijetlo vode do kuće Crvenoga štita, Rothschilda, i njezine tajanstvene povezanosti s iluminatima, slobodnim zidarstvom, tajnim društvima i isusovačkim redom. Sestra White izravno upozorava na te entitete. U istom razdoblju laodikejski adventizam, kao protestantski rog, predao je svoje obrazovne i vjerske ustanove upravljanju svijeta.

In that very time period, the modern king of the south begins its history with the Russian Revolution, and the modern king of the north begins its history with the miracle of Fatima. As Malachi Martin emphasizes in his book, beyond the internal struggle of the good and bad pope, the Fatima messages identified the struggle of Catholicism against atheism in general, but more specifically against the atheism of Russia. The secret that the pope in 1917 was to act upon contained the (satanic) promise, that if the pope would call a conclave and dedicate Russia to the Virgin Mary, then there would not be a second world war. It also identified that if the pope refused Russia would spread its philosophy far and wide and there would then be another world war.

Upravo u tom vremenskom razdoblju, moderni kralj juga započinje svoju povijest Ruskom revolucijom, a moderni kralj sjevera započinje svoju povijest čudom u Fatimi. Kao što Malachi Martin naglašava u svojoj knjizi, osim unutarnje borbe dobroga i lošega pape, poruke iz Fatime prepoznale su borbu katolicizma protiv ateizma općenito, ali još određenije protiv ateizma Rusije. Tajna prema kojoj je papa 1917. trebao djelovati sadržavala je (sotonsko) obećanje da, ako papa sazove konklavu i posveti Rusiju Djevici Mariji, neće biti drugoga svjetskog rata. Također je naznačila da će, ako papa to odbije, Rusija nadaleko proširiti svoju filozofiju te će potom izbiti još jedan svjetski rat.

The second world war included the war of Catholicism against the Communism of Russia. Catholicism’s proxy army in that war was Nazi Germany. The papacy always employs proxy armies. In 1933 the Catholic church, through the work of Cardinal Pacelli, signed a concordat with Adolph Hitler that allowed Hitler to take control of Germany, and by Hitler’s own testimony, that contract (concordat), was what allowed Hitler to solve the Jewish question. The Nazi’s were the papacy’s proxy against atheistic Russia in World War II, and in the second battle of the proxy wars, now being accomplished in the Ukraine, it is being carried out by another Nazi proxy army.

Drugi svjetski rat uključivao je rat katolicizma protiv komunizma Rusije. Posrednička vojska katolicizma u tom ratu bila je nacistička Njemačka. Papinstvo se uvijek služi posredničkim vojskama. Godine 1933. Katolička crkva, djelovanjem kardinala Pacellija, potpisala je konkordat s Adolfom Hitlerom koji je Hitleru omogućio da preuzme nadzor nad Njemačkom, a prema samom Hitlerovu svjedočanstvu, taj je ugovor (konkordat) bio ono što je Hitleru omogućilo da riješi židovsko pitanje. Nacisti su bili posrednička vojska papinstva protiv ateističke Rusije u Drugom svjetskom ratu, a u drugoj bitci posredničkih ratova, koja se sada odvija u Ukrajini, ona se provodi drugom nacističkom posredničkom vojskom.

Nastavit ćemo ovo proučavanje u sljedećem članku.

> “Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.

> „Pomoću dviju velikih zabluda, besmrtnosti duše i svetkovanja nedjelje, Sotona će dovesti narod pod svoje obmane. Dok prva postavlja temelj spiritizmu, druga stvara vezu suglasja s Rimom. Protestanti Sjedinjenih Država prvi će pružiti svoje ruke preko provalije da prihvate ruku spiritizma; pružit će se preko bezdana da se rukuju s rimskom vlašću; i pod utjecajem toga trostrukog saveza ova će zemlja slijediti stope Rima gazeći prava savjesti.”

> “As spiritualism more closely imitates the nominal Christianity of the day, it has greater power to deceive and ensnare. Satan himself is converted, after the modern order of things. He will appear in the character of an angel of light. Through the agency of spiritualism, miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and many undeniable wonders will be performed. And as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible, and manifest respect for the institutions of the church, their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power.

> „Kako spiritualizam sve vjernije oponaša nazovno kršćanstvo današnjice, on ima veću moć da zavede i uhvati u zamku. Sam Sotona obraćen je prema suvremenom poretku stvari. Pojavit će se u liku anđela svjetla. Posredstvom spiritualizma činit će se čudesa, bolesni će biti iscijeljeni i mnoga će neosporna znamenja biti učinjena. A budući da će duhovi ispovijedati vjeru u Bibliju i pokazivati poštovanje prema ustanovama Crkve, njihovo će djelo biti prihvaćeno kao očitovanje božanske sile.“

> “The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.

> „Linija razlikovanja između onih koji ispovijedaju kršćanstvo i bezbožnika sada se jedva može razabrati. Članovi Crkve ljube ono što svijet ljubi i spremni su sjediniti se s njime, a Sotona odlučuje ujediniti ih u jedno tijelo i tako ojačati svoju stvar pometavši sve u redove spiritizma. Papisti, koji se čudesima hvale kao sigurnim znakom prave crkve, bit će lako prevareni ovom silom koja čini čudesa; a protestanti, odbacivši štit istine, također će biti zavedeni. Papisti, protestanti i svjetovnjaci podjednako će prihvatiti obličje pobožnosti bez njezine sile, i u tom će jedinstvu vidjeti veličanstven pokret za obraćenje svijeta i uvođenje dugo očekivanog milenija.“

> “Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin. Intemperance dethrones reason; sensual indulgence, strife, and bloodshed follow. Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.

> „Po spiritizmu, Sotona se prikazuje kao dobročinitelj ljudskoga roda, liječeći bolesti naroda i tvrdeći da donosi nov i uzvišeniji sustav vjerske vjere; ali u isto vrijeme djeluje kao uništavatelj. Njegove kušnje vode mnoštva u propast. Neumjerenost zbacuje razum s prijestolja; za njom slijede osjetilno udovoljavanje, razdor i krvoproliće. Sotona uživa u ratu, jer on pobuđuje najgore strasti duše, a zatim u vječnost odnosi svoje žrtve, ogrezle u poroku i krvi. Njegov je cilj potaknuti narode na rat jedne protiv drugih, jer tako može odvratiti umove ljudi od djela priprave da opstanu u dan Božji.“

> “Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.” The Great Controversy, 588, 589.

> „Sotona djeluje i preko stihija kako bi sabrao svoju žetvu nepripravljenih duša. Proučavao je tajne prirodnih radionica i koristi svu svoju moć da upravlja stihijama koliko mu Bog dopušta. Kad mu je bilo dopušteno da udari Joba, kako su brzo bila pometena stada i krda, sluge, kuće, djeca, nevolja za nevoljom, kao u jednom trenutku. Bog je taj koji zaklanja svoja stvorenja i ograđuje ih od vlasti uništavatelja. Ali kršćanski je svijet pokazao prezir prema Jahvinu zakonu; i Gospodin će učiniti upravo ono što je izjavio da će učiniti — povući će svoje blagoslove sa zemlje i ukloniti svoju zaštitničku skrb od onih koji se bune protiv njegova Zakona i nauka te prisiljavaju druge da čine isto. Sotona ima vlast nad svima koje Bog ne čuva na osobit način. Nekima će iskazivati naklonost i davati im napredak kako bi unaprijedio svoje vlastite namjere, a na druge će navlačiti nevolje i navoditi ljude da vjeruju kako ih Bog pogađa.” Velika borba, 588, 589.
