For some time, we have been focusing our attention on the hidden history of Daniel 11:40, and in recent weeks, the Lord has drawn our consideration to verse 27:

Već neko vrijeme usmjeravamo svoju pozornost na skrivenu povijest Daniela 11:40, a posljednjih tjedana Gospodin je usmjerio naše razmatranje na redak 27:

> And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. Daniel 11:27.

> A srca obojice tih kraljeva bit će sklona zlu, i za jednim će stolom govoriti laži; ali to neće uspjeti, jer će svršetak biti još u određeno vrijeme. Daniel 11,27.

Initially, I was uncertain about the details—when, where, and who sat at that table, speaking lies to one another—but these questions are now under review. Over the past few Sabbaths, I made some missteps as I worked through these lines. Yet, through what I believe to be providential guidance, the alliances represented in verses 13–15, symbolized by Caesarea Philippi, began to unfold. Though some elements still require refinement, I believe the Lord has lifted His hand from these verses to reveal their meaning.

U početku nisam bio siguran u pojedinosti—kada, gdje i tko je sjedio za tim stolom, govoreći laži jedan drugomu—ali ta su pitanja sada na razmatranju. Tijekom posljednjih nekoliko subota načinio sam neke pogrešne korake dok sam razrađivao ove retke. Ipak, po onome što vjerujem da je providonosno vodstvo, savezi predstavljeni u recima 13–15, simbolizirani Cezarejom Filipovom, počeli su se razotkrivati. Premda neki elementi još uvijek zahtijevaju doradu, vjerujem da je Gospodin uklonio svoju ruku s ovih redaka kako bi otkrio njihovo značenje.

This understanding crystallized immediately after last Sabbath’s Zoom meeting. A week earlier, I had been struck by the intricate interplay of histories in verses 10–15. I wrote and sent a text message to a few people outlining my thoughts and asked to share them on Friday evening. I was attempting to organize the issues within those verses, convinced there was something profoundly significant. There is, but it wasn’t what I initially proposed. Despite my stumbles over the past week and a half as I grappled with this passage, I recognize a familiar providence. The Lord was unsealing a special, vital truth. Once the human element is fully exposed and set aside, the truth—opened by the Lion of the tribe of Judah—proves even more profound than I had grasped.

Ovo se razumijevanje iskristaliziralo odmah nakon prošlosubotnjega sastanka na Zoomu. Tjedan dana ranije bio sam zadivljen zamršenim prožimanjem povijesti u redcima 10–15. Napisao sam i poslao tekstualnu poruku nekolicini ljudi, izlažući svoje misli, te zamolio da ih iznesem u petak navečer. Nastojao sam urediti pitanja unutar tih redaka, uvjeren da se ondje nalazi nešto duboko značajno. I nalazi se, ali to nije bilo ono što sam u početku predložio. Unatoč mojim posrtajima tijekom proteklih tjedan i pol dok sam se hrvao s ovim odlomkom, prepoznajem poznatu providnost. Gospodin je skidao pečat s posebne, životno važne istine. Kada se ljudski element potpuno razotkrije i stavi po strani, istina—otvorena od Lava iz plemena Judina—pokazuje se još dubljom nego što sam bio shvatio.

## Verse Five through Nine

Stihovi pet do devet

Putin, as the king of the south, mirrors Ptolemy, who will triumph in the Ukraine war, fulfilling verse 11. Historically, Ptolemy IV Philopator’s victory at the Battle of Raphia fulfilled this verse, prefiguring Putin’s imminent success. Verses 5–9 outline a history that foreshadows the papacy’s 1,260-year rule (538–1798) in meticulous detail. These details have been explored repeatedly in the past, so here I will highlight one prophetic waymark fulfilled in verses 5–9 and echoed in the period from 538 to 1798.

Putin, kao kralj juga, odražava Ptolemeja, koji će trijumfirati u ukrajinskom ratu, ispunjavajući 11. redak. Povijesno gledano, pobjeda Ptolemeja IV. Filopatora u bitci kod Rafije ispunila je ovaj redak, predoznačujući Putinov skori uspjeh. Redci 5–9 izlažu povijest koja u pomnim pojedinostima predoznačuje 1.260-godišnju vladavinu papinstva (538.–1798.). Te su pojedinosti već u prošlosti više puta razmatrane, stoga ću ovdje istaknuti jedan proročki putokaz ispunjen u redcima 5–9 i odražen u razdoblju od 538. do 1798.

This period began with a treaty between the southern Ptolemaic kingdom and the northern Seleucid kingdom, sealed when the southern king gave his daughter in marriage to the northern king. This union initiated a seven year span that ended when the southern king invaded the north, took the northern king captive to Egypt, and the captive king later died after falling from a horse.

To je razdoblje započelo savezom između južnoga ptolemejskog kraljevstva i sjevernoga seleukidskog kraljevstva, zapečaćenim kada je južni kralj dao svoju kćer za ženu sjevernom kralju. Ta je zajednica započela sedmogodišnje razdoblje koje je završilo kada je južni kralj napao sjever, odveo sjevernoga kralja kao zarobljenika u Egipat, a zarobljeni kralj poslije je umro nakon što je pao s konja.

## A Broken Treaty

Prekršeni savez

The invasion stemmed from a broken treaty. After the seven-year period began, the northern king set aside his first wife to marry the southern princess and secure the treaty. Later, he discarded the southern wife and reinstated his original queen. This prompted the first queen to execute the southern queen and her entourage, enraging the southern queen’s family in Egypt.

Invazija je proizašla iz prekršenog saveza. Nakon što je započelo sedmogodišnje razdoblje, sjeverni je kralj otpustio svoju prvu ženu kako bi se oženio južnom princezom i učvrstio savez. Poslije je odbacio južnu ženu i ponovno postavio svoju izvornu kraljicu. To je navelo prvu kraljicu da pogubi južnu kraljicu i njezinu pratnju, razgnjeviviši obitelj južne kraljice u Egiptu.

With prophetic discernment, seven years can be seen as two periods of three and a half years, as illustrated by the three and a half years before and after the cross that together represented the week that Christ confirmed the covenant. The three and a half is also recognized in the seven times curse carried out upon the northern kingdom of Israel from 723 BC unto 1798. That seven times is divided into two periods of twelve hundred and sixty, with 538 as the middle point. These illustrations of seven being divided into two periods of three and a half is not random, it is purposeful.

S proročkim razlučivanjem, sedam se godina može promatrati kao dva razdoblja od po tri i pol godine, kako je prikazano trima i pol godinama prije križa i trima i pol godinama nakon njega, koje su zajedno predstavljale tjedan u kojemu je Krist potvrdio savez. Tri i pol također se prepoznaje u prokletstvu sedam vremena izvršenom nad sjevernim kraljevstvom Izraela od 723. pr. Kr. do 1798. Tih se sedam vremena dijeli na dva razdoblja od tisuću dvjesto i šezdeset, pri čemu je 538. središnja točka. Ovi prikazi sedam podijeljenoga na dva razdoblja od po tri i pol nisu nasumični, nego su namjerni.

In the division in the week Christ confirmed the covenant the cross represents the center and in so doing it identifies Christ presenting the message in person for three and a half years, followed by His disciples presenting the message for the same period. In the seven times against the northern kingdom 538 divides the history into a period when paganism trampled down the sanctuary and host followed by papalism trampling down the sanctuary and host for the same period. In prophetic symbolism “seven” is represented with three and a half, which in turn is represented by forty-two months, three and a half days or years, twelve hundred and sixty, twenty-five twenty and a time, times and dividing of time. In context, all these figures are interchangeable.

U podjeli tjedna Krist je potvrdio Savez; križ predstavlja središte te time označuje Krista kako osobno iznosi poruku tijekom tri i pol godine, nakon čega Njegovi učenici iznose poruku tijekom istoga razdoblja. U sedam vremena protiv sjevernoga kraljevstva 538 dijeli povijest na razdoblje u kojem je poganstvo gazilo Svetište i vojsku, nakon čega je papinstvo gazilo Svetište i vojsku tijekom istoga razdoblja. U proročkoj simbolici „sedam“ je prikazano s tri i pol, što je pak prikazano s četrdeset i dva mjeseca, tri i pol dana ili godina, tisuću dvjesto i šezdeset, dvadeset i pet dvadeset i vremenom, vremenima i polovicom vremena. U kontekstu su sve te brojke međusobno zamjenjive.

The treaty represented between the Ptolemaic Kingdom, ruled by the descendants of Ptolemy I (a general of Alexander the Great), who controlled Egypt, and the Seleucid Empire, ruled by the descendants of Seleucus I (another of Alexander’s generals), who controlled much of the Middle East, including Syria concluded the Second Syrian War in 253 BC. The war had begun seven years before in 260 BC. Seven years after the treaty was ratified it was broken in 246 BC. Fourteen years, divided into two seven-year periods. The first half is warfare and the second half is peace. The fourteen years begin with the second Syrian War and it ends with the third Syrian War. This type of symmetry in history is amplified when you recognize that the history is represented in verses five through nine of chapter eleven. The treaty and its breaking are the focus of the verses and the history which fulfilled the verses.

Sporazum sklopljen između Ptolemejskog Kraljevstva, kojim su vladali potomci Ptolemeja I. (jednoga od generala Aleksandra Velikoga), koji su vladali Egiptom, i Seleukidskoga Carstva, kojim su vladali potomci Seleuka I. (drugoga Aleksandrova generala), koji su vladali velikim dijelom Bliskoga istoka, uključujući Siriju, okončao je Drugi sirijski rat 253. pr. Kr. Rat je započeo sedam godina prije, 260. pr. Kr. Sedam godina nakon što je sporazum bio potvrđen, bio je prekršen 246. pr. Kr. Četrnaest godina, podijeljenih na dva sedmogodišnja razdoblja. Prva polovica jest ratovanje, a druga polovica mir. Tih četrnaest godina započinje Drugim sirijskim ratom, a završava Trećim sirijskim ratom. Ovakva vrsta simetrije u povijesti pojačana je kada prepoznate da je ta povijest prikazana u recima pet do devet jedanaestoga poglavlja. Sporazum i njegovo kršenje u središtu su redaka i povijesti koja je ispunila te retke.

This aligns with the papal domination from 538 to 1798. Near the end of that era, Napoleon Bonaparte entered into a treaty with the Vatican. Citing the Vatican’s breach of the 1797 Treaty of Tolentino, Napoleon sent General Berthier in 1798 to take the pope captive. The pope died in France in 1799. This 1,260-year period is detailed in verses 31–39.

To je u skladu s papinskom dominacijom od 538. do 1798. Pred kraj toga razdoblja Napoleon Bonaparte sklopio je sporazum s Vatikanom. Pozivajući se na kršenje Ugovora iz Tolentina iz 1797. od strane Vatikana, Napoleon je 1798. poslao generala Berthiera da zarobi papu. Papa je umro u Francuskoj 1799. godine. To razdoblje od 1.260 godina detaljno je prikazano u recima 31–39.

The history of verses 5–9 parallels that of verses 31–39, providing two witnesses within Daniel 11. Both lines share identical prophetic waymarks, revealing the dynamics between the kings of the south and north. Each period is symbolized by three and a half years, concluding with the southern king prevailing, capturing the northern king, and taking him to the southern land, where both northern kings die. In both cases, as the text states, the southern king returns with spoil:

Povijest redaka 5–9 usporedna je s onom redaka 31–39, pružajući dva svjedočanstva unutar Daniela 11. Oba slijeda dijele iste proročke oznake, otkrivajući dinamiku između kraljeva juga i sjevera. Svako je razdoblje simbolizirano s tri i pol godine, završavajući time da kralj juga prevlada, zarobi kralja sjevera i odvede ga u južnu zemlju, gdje oba sjeverna kralja umiru. U oba slučaja, kako tekst navodi, kralj juga vraća se s plijenom:

> And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. Daniel 11:8.

> I odvest će u Egipat kao sužnje njihove bogove, s njihovim knezovima i s njihovim dragocjenim posudama od srebra i od zlata; i on će nadživjeti kralja sjevera za više godina. Daniel 11,8.

For Ptolemy, this was treasure previously looted by the northern king; for Napoleon, it was the Vatican’s riches plundered and taken to France. These two lines of witness indicate that the northern king’s death is symbolized by falling from a horse. In Revelation 17, the woman riding the beast represents the Catholic Church:

Za Ptolemeja to je bilo blago koje je prethodno opljačkao sjeverni kralj; za Napoleona, to je bilo bogatstvo Vatikana, opljačkano i odneseno u Francusku. Ove dvije linije svjedočanstva pokazuju da je smrt sjevernoga kralja simbolizirana padom s konja. U Otkrivenju 17 žena koja jaše Zvijer predstavlja Katoličku crkvu:

> So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:3.

> I tako me u duhu odnese u pustinju: i vidjeh ženu gdje sjedi na skerletnoj Zvijeri, punoj hulnih imena, koja ima sedam glava i deset rogova. Otkrivenje 17,3.

The beast she rides is the United Nations. Revelation 17 describes her restoration to power after the deadly wound of 1798. As the eighth kingdom, she resumes her reign, symbolized by riding the beast:

Zvijer kojega ona jaše jest Ujedinjeni narodi. Otkrivenje 17 opisuje njezinu obnovu na vlast nakon smrtonosne rane iz 1798. Kao osmo kraljevstvo, ona ponovno preuzima svoju vladavinu, simboliziranu time što jaše zvijer:

> And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:18.

> A žena koju si vidio jest onaj veliki grad koji kraljuje nad kraljevima zemaljskim. Otkrivenje 17,18.

The deadly wound of 1798 was prefigured in verses 5–9 when the northern king fell from a horse and died. These two lines in Daniel 11 run parallel to verses 41–45. The Sunday law in the USA, marked in verse 41, begins the papacy’s final ride on the beast—a period reflected in these two lines. When Ellen White notes that “much of the history” fulfilled in Daniel 11 “will be repeated,” verses 5–9 and 31–39 align with verses 41–45.

Smrtonosna rana iz 1798. godine bila je predoznačena u redcima 5–9, kada je sjeverni kralj pao s konja i umro. Ove dvije crte u Danielu 11 teku usporedno s redcima 41–45. Zakon o nedjelji u SAD-u, naznačen u retku 41, započinje papinstvu posljednju vožnju na Zvijeri — razdoblje odraženo u ovim dvjema crtama. Kada Ellen White napominje da će se „velik dio povijesti” ispunjene u Danielu 11 „ponoviti”, redci 5–9 i 31–39 usklađuju se s redcima 41–45.

## Only Verse Forty

Samo četrdeseti redak

From verse 31 to 45, only verse 40 stands outside the prophetic period of three and a half days. It represents a unique history within the final third of Daniel’s 45 verses. In verse 16, the history of pagan Imperial Rome unfolds through four rulers—Pompey, Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, and Tiberius Caesar. Augustus’s victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC began Imperial Rome’s 360-year rule, fulfilling the “time” in verse 24:

Od retka 31 do 45, jedino redak 40 stoji izvan proročkog razdoblja od tri i pol dana. On predstavlja jedinstvenu povijest unutar završne trećine Danielovih 45 redaka. U retku 16 povijest poganskoga carskog Rima razvija se kroz četvoricu vladara — Pompeja, Julija Cezara, Augusta Cezara i Tiberija Cezara. Augustova pobjeda u Bitki kod Akcija 31. pr. Kr. započela je 360-godišnju vladavinu carskog Rima, ispunjavajući „vrijeme” u retku 24:

> He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.

> Ući će mirno čak i u najplodnija mjesta pokrajine; i učinit će ono što nisu učinili njegovi očevi ni očevi njegovih otaca; i razdijelit će među njima plijen, grabež i bogatstva; da, smišljat će svoje nakane protiv tvrđava, ali samo za neko vrijeme. Daniel 11,24.

After Actium, Rome made Egypt a province in 30 BC. Three hundred and sixty years later, in 330, Constantine moved the empire’s capital from Rome to Constantinople. This “time” aligns prophetically with the 1,260 years of papal rule and the 7 years of verses 5–9.

Nakon Akcija, Rim je 30. pr. Kr. pretvorio Egipat u provinciju. Tri stotine i šezdeset godina poslije, 330. godine, Konstantin je premjestio prijestolnicu Carstva iz Rima u Konstantinopol. To se „vrijeme” proročki podudara s 1.260 godina papinske vladavine i sa 7 godina iz redaka 5–9.

From verse 16, pagan Imperial Rome dominates until verse 30, encompassing the Maccabees’ league with Rome and the line of Christ. Yet, verses 16–30 align with verses 31–39 and 41–45. Thus, in the last 30 verses of Daniel 11, a consistent prophetic line emerges—except for verse 40, where the “time of the end” is marked in 1798 and 1989.

Od retka 16, poganski carski Rim dominira sve do retka 30, obuhvaćajući savez Makabejaca s Rimom i Kristovu lozu. Ipak, redci 16–30 usklađeni su s redcima 31–39 i 41–45. Tako se u posljednjih 30 redaka Daniela 11 pojavljuje dosljedna proročka linija — osim u retku 40, gdje je „vrijeme svršetka“ označeno godinama 1798. i 1989.

With minor exceptions in verses 2 and 3—where the final of eight presidents transitions to control the ten kings of the United Nations—the first two verses align with verse 40, representing the Sunday law and the shift from the sixth to the seventh and eighth kingdoms. Verses 3 and 4 align with verse 45 and Daniel 12:1, depicting the rise and fall of the Grecian kingdom, paralleling the papacy’s establishment and demise in verses 41 through Daniel 12:1. Both the woman and the beast she rides end with no help, framing the beginning and end of Daniel 11 outside verse 40’s history. Alexander the Great symbolizes the United Nations, fornicating with the whore of Tyre (the king of the north from verse 41 onward), who are both the beast and the dragon.

Uz manje iznimke u recima 2 i 3—gdje posljednji od osam predsjednika prelazi u nadzor nad deset kraljeva Ujedinjenih naroda—prva dva retka usklađuju se s retkom 40, predstavljajući nedjeljni zakon i prijelaz sa šestoga na sedmo i osmo kraljevstvo. Reci 3 i 4 usklađuju se s retkom 45 i Danielom 12,1, prikazujući uspon i pad grčkoga kraljevstva, usporedno s uspostavom i propašću papinstva u recima 41 do Daniela 12,1. I žena i zvijer koju ona jaše završavaju bez pomoći, uokvirujući početak i kraj Daniela 11 izvan povijesti retka 40. Aleksandar Veliki simbolizira Ujedinjene narode, bludujući s tirskom bludnicom (kraljem sjevera od retka 41 nadalje), koji su oboje i zvijer i zmaj.

## Verses Nine and Ten

Deveti i deseti redak

Verses 5–9 conclude at the time of the end in 1798, while verse 10 marks 1989. Thus, the span between verses 9 and 10—from 1798 to 1989—represents the revealed portion of verse 40, initiating its hidden history. To clarify: nearly every verse in Daniel 11 reflects the papacy’s rule from 538 to 1798. Verse 40 covers 1798 to the Sunday law in the USA. Verses 6–9 typify the papal era, while verse 10 foreshadows the USSR’s collapse in 1989. Therefore, verses 11–15 span from 1989 to the Sunday law, as represented in verses 16, 31, and 41.

Redci 5–9 završavaju u vrijeme svršetka 1798., dok redak 10 označuje 1989. godinu. Stoga razdoblje između redaka 9 i 10 — od 1798. do 1989. — predstavlja otkriveni dio retka 40, započinjući njegovu skrivenu povijest. Radi pojašnjenja: gotovo svaki redak u Danielu 11 odražava vladavinu papinstva od 538. do 1798. Retak 40 obuhvaća razdoblje od 1798. do zakona o nedjelji u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Redci 6–9 predstavljaju prasliku papinske ere, dok redak 10 predoznačuje raspad SSSR-a 1989. godine. Stoga redci 11–15 obuhvaćaju razdoblje od 1989. do zakona o nedjelji, kako je prikazano u redcima 16, 31 i 41.

Verse 40 is divided into two parts. The first, from 1798 to 1989, begins and ends with a “time of the end.” The second half begins in 1989, where the first half concludes. Verses 1 and 2 identify a sequence of presidents starting in 1989, aligning with the second part of verse 40. Verse 11 marks the onset of the Ukraine war in 2014, while verse 12 highlights the consequences the victorious king of the south brings upon himself. Verse 13 nears fulfillment, but here we note that verse 11 falls within the second part of verse 40—post-1989, yet pre-Sunday law (verse 41).

Redak 40 podijeljen je na dva dijela. Prvi, od 1798. do 1989., započinje i završava „vremenom svršetka“. Druga polovica započinje 1989., ondje gdje prvi dio završava. Redci 1 i 2 označuju slijed predsjednika koji započinje 1989., usklađen s drugim dijelom retka 40. Redak 11 označuje početak rata u Ukrajini 2014., dok redak 12 ističe posljedice koje pobjednički kralj juga navlači na samoga sebe. Redak 13 približava se ispunjenju, no ovdje zapažamo da redak 11 pripada drugom dijelu retka 40 — nakon 1989., ali prije zakona o nedjelji (redak 41).

Verses 13–15 point to the Battle of Panium in 200 BC, the year pagan Rome began exerting influence over human affairs, tied to that battle. Occurring well before Pompey’s entry into Jerusalem in verse 16, it provides historical evidence identifying verse 41 as the Sunday law in the USA.

Redci 13–15 upućuju na Bitku kod Panija 200. pr. Kr., godinu u kojoj je poganski Rim počeo vršiti utjecaj na ljudske poslove, povezan s tom bitkom. Budući da se to zbilo mnogo prije Pompejeva ulaska u Jeruzalem u retku 16, to pruža povijesni dokaz koji poistovjećuje redak 41 sa zakonom o nedjelji u SAD-u.

Every prophetic line and its historical fulfillment in Daniel 11 lies either within verse 40’s history (1798 to the Sunday law) or from verse 41 to Daniel 12:1. Of the 45 verses, verses 1, 2, 7–15, and 40—totaling twelve—apply to verse 40’s timeline when layered line upon line. Verse 40 splits into two segments at 1989. Verses 1, 2, and 10–15 align with its second half. Verses 1 and 2 trace the line of presidents in the earth beast’s history, while verses 10–15 depict three proxy wars orchestrated by the king of the north (the papal power) from 1989 to the Sunday law. The three proxy wars begin with the United States, identified in verse 40 as “chariots, ships and horsemen.”

Svaka proročka linija i njezino povijesno ispunjenje u Danielu 11 nalazi se ili unutar povijesti retka 40 (od 1798. do nedjeljnog zakona) ili od retka 41 do Daniela 12,1. Od 45 redaka, retci 1, 2, 7–15 i 40 — ukupno dvanaest — primjenjuju se na vremenski slijed retka 40 kada se slažu redak na redak. Redak 40 dijeli se na dva dijela kod 1989. godine. Retci 1, 2 i 10–15 podudaraju se s njegovom drugom polovicom. Retci 1 i 2 prate liniju predsjednika u povijesti Zvijeri iz zemlje, dok retci 10–15 prikazuju tri posrednička rata koja je orkestrirao kralj sjevera (papinska sila) od 1989. do nedjeljnog zakona. Ta tri posrednička rata započinju sa Sjedinjenim Državama, koje su u retku 40 prepoznate kao „kola, lađe i konjanici“.
