Just before the close of probation the final prophetic secret is unsealed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and it is the wise who understand the increase of knowledge that is produced by that unsealing. Two witnesses in Revelation cast a light on part of what is unsealed at that time.

Neposredno prije završetka vremena milosti konačnu proročku tajnu otpečaćuje Lav iz plemena Judina, a mudri su oni koji razumiju porast znanja koji nastaje tim otpečaćenjem. Dva svjedoka u Otkrivenju rasvjetljuju dio onoga što je u to vrijeme otpečaćeno.

> Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. … And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Revelation 13:18, 17:9.

> Ovdje je mudrost. Tko ima razum, neka izračuna broj Zvijeri, jer to je broj čovjeka; i broj njezin jest šest stotina šezdeset i šest. … I ovdje je um koji ima mudrost. Sedam glava jesu sedam gora, na kojima žena sjedi. Otkrivenje 13:18, 17:9.

The “last power that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns,” is the United States. It is the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and the structure of its kingdom is the same structure (image), as was the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. It becomes a kingdom of the Church ruling over the State, and then forces the entire earth to accept that very arrangement. The combination of Church and State is fully developed in the United States at the soon-coming Sunday law.

„Posljednja sila koja treba zaratiti protiv crkve i Zakona Božjega, bila je simbolizirana zvijeri s janjećim rogovima“, jesu Sjedinjene Američke Države. To je šesto kraljevstvo biblijskog proroštva, a ustroj njegova kraljevstva isti je ustroj (slika) kakav je bio i peto kraljevstvo biblijskog proroštva. Ono postaje kraljevstvo u kojem Crkva vlada nad Državom, a zatim prisiljava cijelu zemlju da prihvati upravo taj poredak. Spoj Crkve i Države u potpunosti se razvija u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama prilikom uskoro nadolazećeg nedjeljnog zakona.

> “The ‘image to the beast’ represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas. The ‘mark of the beast’ still remains to be defined.” The Great Controversy, 445.

> „‘Slika Zvijeri’ predstavlja onaj oblik otpalog protestantizma koji će se razviti kada protestantske crkve budu zatražile pomoć građanske vlasti radi nametanja svojih dogmi. ‘Žig Zvijeri’ tek treba biti definiran.” Velika borba, 445.

The image of the beast and the mark of the beast are two different symbols, yet it is at the Sunday law that the image of the beast reaches its full development.

Lik zvijeri i žig zvijeri dva su različita simbola, no upravo pri donošenju nedjeljnog zakona lik zvijeri doseže svoj puni razvoj.

> “The enforcement of Sundaykeeping on the part of Protestant churches is an enforcement of the worship of the papacy—of the beast. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false instead of the true Sabbath are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. But in the very act of enforcing a religious duty by secular power, the churches would themselves form an image to the beast; hence the enforcement of Sundaykeeping in the United States would be an enforcement of the worship of the beast and his image.” The Great Controversy, 448, 449.

> „Nametanje svetkovanja nedjelje od strane protestantskih crkava jest nametanje štovanja papinstva — zvijeri. Oni koji, razumijevajući zahtjeve četvrte zapovijedi, izaberu obdržavati lažnu umjesto prave subote, time odaju počast onoj vlasti po čijoj se jedinoj zapovijedi to nalaže. Ali upravo činom nametanja vjerske dužnosti svjetovnom vlašću, crkve bi same načinile sliku zvijeri; stoga bi nametanje svetkovanja nedjelje u Sjedinjenim Državama bilo nametanje štovanja zvijeri i njezine slike.” Velika borba, 448, 449.

At the Sunday law, the Constitution of the United States is fully overthrown and the nation has separated fully from righteousness. Then, under the full control of Satan the United States forces the world to accept the same Church and State system that has just been established in the United States. The world government is the United Nations and the Roman church is the Church that rules over the relationship.

U trenutku nedjeljnoga zakona Ustav Sjedinjenih Američkih Država bit će potpuno srušen i narod će se potpuno odijeliti od pravednosti. Tada, pod potpunom Sotoninom kontrolom, Sjedinjene Američke Države prisiljavaju svijet da prihvati isti sustav Crkve i Države koji je upravo uspostavljen u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Svjetska vlada jesu Ujedinjeni narodi, a Rimska crkva jest Crkva koja vlada tim odnosom.

> “The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.

> „Svijet je ispunjen olujom, ratom i razdorom. Ipak, pod jednom glavom — papinskom vlašću — narodi će se ujediniti da se suprotstave Bogu u osobi Njegovih svjedoka.” Testimonies, svezak 7, 182.

The system of Church and State that is represented as the image of the beast in prophecy is also a threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. The ten kings of Revelation seventeen, that are the seventh head, represent the dragon power.

Sustav Crkve i Države, koji je u proročanstvu prikazan kao slika Zvijeri, također je trostruko jedinstvo zmaja, Zvijeri i lažnog proroka. Deset kraljeva iz Otkrivenja sedamnaest, koji su sedma glava, predstavljaju silu zmaja.

> “Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon themselves the brand of antichrist, and are represented as the dragon who goes to make war with the saints—with those who keep the commandments of God and who have the faith of Jesus.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

> „Kraljevi i vladari i upravitelji stavili su na sebe žig antikrista te su prikazani kao zmaj koji odlazi zaratiti sa svetima — s onima koji drže Božje zapovijedi i imaju vjeru Isusovu.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

The “ten kings” represent the United Nations, whose religion is spiritualism, and the religion of the false prophet is apostate Protestantism, and the beast’s religion is Catholicism, which is simply spiritualism covered with a profession of Christianity.

„Deset kraljeva“ predstavljaju Ujedinjene narode, čija je religija spiritizam, a religija lažnoga proroka jest otpali protestantizam, dok je religija zvijeri katolicizam, koji je naprosto spiritizam prekriven ispovijedanjem kršćanstva.

> “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, protivno Božjem zakonu, naš će se narod potpuno odijeliti od pravednosti. Kad protestantizam pruži svoju ruku preko ponora da uhvati ruku rimske vlasti, kad posegne preko bezdana da se rukuje sa spiritualizmom, kad se, pod utjecajem toga trostrukog saveza, naša zemlja odrekne svakoga načela svojega Ustava kao protestantske i republikanske vlasti te osigura uvjete za širenje papinskih laži i zabluda, tada možemo znati da je došlo vrijeme za čudesno Sotonino djelovanje i da je kraj blizu.” Testimonies, svezak 5, 451.

At the Sunday law the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet is accomplished. The United States then forces the world to accept the one-world government of the United Nations, for the world is thrown into a great crisis at the Sunday law, as Islam brings judgment upon the United States for the enforcement of worshipping the sun. Satan then appears to personate Christ and as the United States forces the world to accept the one world combination of church and state, it also forces the world to accept Sunday as the day of rest. The same testing process that has happened in the United States is then brought upon the entire world.

Pri nedjeljnom zakonu ostvaruje se trostruko jedinstvo zmaja, Zvijeri i lažnoga proroka. Sjedinjene Države tada prisiljavaju svijet da prihvati jednosvjetsku vladu Ujedinjenih naroda, jer je svijet pri nedjeljnom zakonu bačen u veliku krizu, dok islam donosi sud nad Sjedinjenim Državama zbog nametanja štovanja sunca. Sotona se tada pojavljuje utjelovljujući Krista, i kako Sjedinjene Države prisiljavaju svijet da prihvati jednosvjetsko sjedinjenje crkve i države, tako isto prisiljavaju svijet da prihvati nedjelju kao dan odmora. Isti proces kušnje koji se dogodio u Sjedinjenim Državama tada se prenosi na cijeli svijet.

> “Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

> „Strani će narodi slijediti primjer Sjedinjenih Država. Premda ona prednjači, ipak će ista kriza zadesiti naš narod u svim dijelovima svijeta.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

The principle that national apostasy is followed by national ruin comes upon each country as they accept the day of the sun as the day of worship. The escalating crisis is the “one hour” that the ten kings rule with the pope, the “man of sin”. They agreed to give their seventh kingdom unto the papal authority, because they are led to believe that the moral authority of the papacy is necessary to unify the world against the escalating war against Islam. In 1798, the United Nations had not yet arrived into history.

Načelo da nakon nacionalnog otpada slijedi nacionalna propast dolazi na svaku zemlju kada prihvati dan sunca kao dan bogoslužja. Rastuća kriza jest „jedan sat” tijekom kojega deset kraljeva vlada s papom, „čovjekom grijeha”. Složili su se predati svoje sedmo kraljevstvo papinskoj vlasti, jer su navedeni da vjeruju kako je moralni autoritet papinstva nužan da bi se svijet ujedinio protiv sve žešćega rata protiv islama. Godine 1798. Ujedinjeni narodi još nisu bili stupili na pozornicu povijesti.

> And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Revelation 17:12–14.

> I deset rogova koje si vidio jesu deset kraljeva, koji još ne primiše kraljevstva; nego primaju vlast kao kraljevi jedan čas sa zvijeri. Oni imaju jednu misao te svoju silu i vlast daju zvijeri. Oni će zaratiti s Janjetom, i Janje će ih nadvladati: jer je ono Gospodar gospodarâ i Kralj kraljevâ; a oni koji su s njime jesu pozvani, izabrani i vjerni. Otkrivenje 17:12–14.

As has always been the case with the pope, kings will supply the power for the papacy to carry out the persecution against God’s people, and it is the ten kings that make war with the Lamb, but they are doing so at the bidding of the “man of sin.” The “man of sin” is also the “man” that the seven churches take hold of in Isaiah chapter four.

Kao što je oduvijek bio slučaj s papom, kraljevi će pružiti moć papinstvu da provede progon protiv Božjega naroda, i upravo je deset kraljeva ono što ratuje s Janjetom, ali to čine na poticaj „čovjeka grijeha“. „Čovjek grijeha“ ujedno je i „čovjek“ za kojega se hvata sedam crkava u četvrtom poglavlju Izaije.

> And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. Isaiah 4:1, 2.

> I u onaj dan sedam će žena uhvatiti jednoga čovjeka govoreći: Svoj ćemo kruh jesti i svoju odjeću nositi; samo neka se po tvome imenu zovemo, da se skine naša sramota. U onaj dan izdanak Jahvin bit će krasan i slavan, a plod zemlje izvrstan i divan za one od Izraela koji su umakli. Izaija 4,1.2.

The “seven women” represent that the papacy (the man of sin), has control over all the churches of the earth, just as he has control over all the nations. The “reproach” that the churches wish to avoid, is the “reproach” of rejecting the demand to worship on Sunday. Faithful Sabbath-keepers will be persecuted for their faithfulness, and Islam will also refuse to observe the day of the sun. The agreement that is arranged by the United States between the papacy and the United Nations is that the moral authority of the man of sin is what is needed to lead the world into accepting the warfare against Islam in order to establish peace upon the earth.

„Sedam žena“ predstavljaju da papinstvo (čovjek grijeha) ima nadzor nad svim crkvama na zemlji, baš kao što ima nadzor nad svim narodima. „Sramota“ koju crkve žele izbjeći jest „sramota“ odbacivanja zahtjeva za bogoslužjem u nedjelju. Vjerni svetkovatelji subote bit će progonjeni zbog svoje vjernosti, a i islam će također odbiti svetkovati dan sunca. Sporazum koji Sjedinjene Države uređuju između papinstva i Ujedinjenih naroda jest da je moralni autoritet čovjeka grijeha ono što je potrebno da se svijet povede k prihvaćanju ratovanja protiv islama kako bi se uspostavio mir na zemlji.

> But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:1–5.

> A o vremenima i razdobljima, braćo, nije potrebno da vam pišem. Jer sami točno znate da dan Gospodnji dolazi kao tat u noći. Jer kada budu govorili: Mir i sigurnost! tada će ih iznenada snaći propast, kao trudovi trudnicu, i neće umaći. Ali vi, braćo, niste u tami da bi vas taj dan zatekao kao tat. Vi ste svi sinovi svjetla i sinovi dana: nismo od noći niti od tame. 1 Solunjanima 5:1–5.

The “peace and safety” message of Bible prophecy, which is always represented as a false message, is only logical in a period of time when there is no peace and safety. There is no reason to present a “peace and safety” message, when peace and safety exists. Islam removes all peace and safety. The “sudden destruction” associated with the false message is a destruction that escalates, for it is as “a woman” in “travail.” The first birth pang of the third Woe was September 11, 2001.

Poruka „mir i sigurnost” u biblijskom proročanstvu, koja je uvijek predstavljena kao lažna poruka, logična je jedino u razdoblju kada nema mira i sigurnosti. Nema razloga iznositi poruku „mir i sigurnost” kada mir i sigurnost postoje. Islam uklanja svaki mir i sigurnost. „Iznenadna propast” povezana s tom lažnom porukom jest propast koja se pojačava, jer je kao „žena” u „porođajnim mukama”. Prvi porođajni trud trećega Jao bio je 11. rujna 2001.

In the prophetic lines of Elijah and John the Baptist the deception of the papal power is illustrated. When Ahab travelled back to Samaria to inform Jezebel that Elijah’s God was the true God, for he had brought down fire out of heaven, Ahab then realized that Jezebel had deceived him concerning her hatred for Elijah. The same hatred and deception was illustrated when Herod promised half of his kingdom at his birthday party to Salome. Salome was Herodias’s daughter, thus Herod was the dragon, Herodias was the papacy and Salome was the false prophet.

U proročkim crtama Ilije i Ivana Krstitelja prikazana je obmana papinske vlasti. Kada se Ahab vratio u Samariju da obavijesti Jezabelu kako je Ilijin Bog istiniti Bog, jer je spustio oganj s neba, tada je Ahab spoznao da ga je Jezabela obmanjivala u pogledu svoje mržnje prema Iliji. Ista je mržnja i obmana prikazana kada je Herod na svojoj rođendanskoj gozbi obećao Salomi polovicu svojega kraljevstva. Saloma je bila kći Herodijade; stoga je Herod bio zmaj, Herodijada papinstvo, a Saloma lažni prorok.

In the story the deceiving power of Salome’s dance was used to lead Herod (the ten kings) to give half their kingdom over to a church (a woman). The woman (Salome) was under the direction of her mother (Catholicism), and Herod found out too late that the attitude of Herodias towards John was the same as Jezebel’s was towards Elijah. In both cases, the sabbath-keepers must die.

U ovom izvještaju zavodljiva moć Salomina plesa bila je upotrijebljena kako bi navela Heroda (deset kraljeva) da polovicu svojega kraljevstva preda crkvi (ženi). Žena (Saloma) bila je pod vodstvom svoje majke (katolicizma), a Herod je prekasno doznao da je Herodijadin stav prema Ivanu bio isti kao što je Jezebelin bio prema Iliji. U oba slučaja, držatelji subote moraju umrijeti.

Islam progressively but rapidly removes the peace and safety from planet earth, and in so doing brings mankind together against Islam. Islam’s rapidly escalating warfare represents the argument that is employed to establish the worldwide image of the beast in the last days. The deception that is brought upon the world (the ten kings), is brought by the United States (Salome), and it leads the world to believe they must unite against Islam, but they find out too late, that the arrangement was just a ruse to be used to persecute sabbath-keepers. The deception is part of the reason the ten kings hate the whore, even though when under duress they agreed to give their seventh kingdom unto her.

Islam postupno, ali brzo, uklanja mir i sigurnost s planeta Zemlje te time okuplja čovječanstvo protiv islama. Islamovo brzo eskalirajuće ratovanje predstavlja argument kojim se služi za uspostavu svjetske slike zvijeri u posljednjim danima. Prijevara koja dolazi na svijet (deset kraljeva) dolazi po Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama (Saloma), i navodi svijet da povjeruje kako se moraju ujediniti protiv islama, no prekasno otkrivaju da je taj dogovor bio tek lukavstvo namijenjeno progonu onih koji drže subotu. Ta je prijevara dio razloga zbog kojega deset kraljeva mrze bludnicu, premda su joj, pod prisilom, pristali dati svoje sedmo kraljevstvo.

> And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. Revelation 17:16, 17.

> I deset rogova koje si vidio na Zvijeri, oni će zamrziti Bludnicu, opustošit će je i ogoliti, pojest će njezino meso i spaliti je ognjem. Jer Bog im je stavio u srca da izvrše njegovu volju, da budu složni i predaju svoje kraljevstvo Zvijeri, dok se ne ispune riječi Božje. Otkrivenje 17:16, 17.

The globalists of the United Nations are not simply the “kings” of the earth, but they are also represented as “merchants”, thus the globalists consist of political and economic powers. The reason the angel that brought the vision of Revelation seventeen and eighteen to John, was to show John the judgment of the great whore of Tyre. Both categories of the globalists mourn the death of the papacy.

Globalisti Ujedinjenih naroda nisu naprosto „kraljevi“ zemlje, nego su također prikazani kao „trgovci“, stoga se globalisti sastoje od političkih i gospodarskih sila. Razlog zbog kojega je anđeo koji je Ivanu donio viđenje Otkrivenja sedamnaestog i osamnaestog poglavlja bio taj da Ivanu pokaže sud nad velikom bludnicom Tirom. Obje kategorije globalista tuguju zbog smrti papinstva.

> Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more. Revelation 18:8–11.

> Zato će zla njezina doći u jedan dan: smrt, i tuga, i glad; i bit će sasvim spaljena ognjem, jer je silan Gospodin Bog koji joj sudi. I kraljevi zemaljski, koji su s njom činili blud i živjeli u raskoši, plakat će i naricati za njom kad vide dim njezina gorenja, stojeći podalje od straha pred njezinim mukama i govoreći: Jao, jao, grade veliki, Babilone, grade silni! jer u jedan čas dođe sud tvoj. I trgovci zemaljski plakat će i tugovati nad njom, jer više nitko ne kupuje njihove robe. Otkrivenje 18:8–11.

The merchants and the kings both stand afar off and cry “alas, alas.” The word “alas” in the Greek is translated as “woe” in chapter eight of Revelation.

Trgovci i kraljevi oboje stoje izdaleka i viču: „Jao, jao.“ Riječ „jao“ u grčkome je u osmom poglavlju Otkrivenja prevedena kao „teško“.

> And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! Revelation 8:13.

> I pogledah i začuh anđela gdje leti posred neba govoreći jakim glasom: Jao, jao, jao stanovnicima zemlje zbog ostalih glasova trube trojice anđela koji će još zatrubiti! Otkrivenje 8,13.

The three Woes represent the fifth, sixth and seventh Trumpets, and they are symbols of Islam. The kings, merchants and shipmasters all cry out “alas, alas” three times in chapter eighteen.

Tri jao predstavljaju petu, šestu i sedmu trubu, i oni su simboli islama. Kraljevi, trgovci i zapovjednici lađa svi uzvikuju: „Jao, jao“ tri puta u osamnaestom poglavlju.

> And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. … The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. Revelation 18:9-10, 15–19.

> I kraljevi zemaljski, koji su s njom bludničili i raskošno živjeli, naricat će za njom i tugovati za njom kad ugledaju dim njezina požara, stojeći izdaleka od straha pred njezinom mukom i govoreći: Jao, jao, grade veliki, Babilone, grade silni! jer u jedan čas dođe sud tvoj. … Trgovci tim stvarima, koji su se njome obogatili, stajat će izdaleka od straha pred njezinom mukom, plačući i naričući, i govoreći: Jao, jao, grade veliki, koji si bio odjeven u tanki lan, i u grimiz, i u skerlet, i nakićen zlatom, i dragim kamenjem, i biserima! Jer u jedan čas propade toliko bogatstvo. I svaki kormilar, i sav zbor onih na lađama, i mornari, i svi koji trguju po moru, stajali su izdaleka, i vikahu kad ugledaše dim njezina požara, govoreći: Koji je grad sličan ovomu velikomu gradu! I posuše prahom svoje glave te povikaše, plačući i naričući, govoreći: Jao, jao, grade veliki, u kojemu se obogatiše svi koji imahu lađe na moru zbog njegove skupocjenosti! jer u jedan čas opustje. Otkrivenje 18:9-10, 15–19.

The “hour” that the judgment of the papacy is accomplished, is the “hour” of Revelation eleven, that is the “hour of the great earthquake,” and it represents the Sunday law time period that begins at the Sunday law in the United States and continues until Michael stands up and human probation closes. The globalists that hated the whore, but still agreed to give their kingdom unto her for one hour, not only repeat “woe, woe” (alas, alas), three times, but they ask the question, “What city is like unto this great city?” They also asked that question in the book of Ezekiel.

„Sat“ u kojemu se izvršava sud nad papinstvom jest „sat“ iz jedanaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja, to jest „sat velikoga potresa“, i on predstavlja vremensko razdoblje nedjeljnoga zakona koje započinje nedjeljnim zakonom u Sjedinjenim Državama i traje sve dok Mihajlo ne ustane i ljudsko vrijeme milosti ne završi. Globalisti koji su mrzili bludnicu, ali su ipak pristali dati joj svoje kraljevstvo za jedan sat, ne samo da triput ponavljaju „jao, jao“ (avaj, avaj), nego i postavljaju pitanje: „Koji je grad kao ovaj veliki grad?“ To su pitanje također postavili i u knjizi Ezekiela.

> And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance. The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more. Ezekiel 27:30–36.

> I podignut će svoj glas protiv tebe, i gorko će vikati, i bacat će prah na svoje glave; valjat će se u pepelu. I posve će se oćelaviti radi tebe, i opasat će se kostrijeti, i plakat će za tobom s gorčinom srca i gorkim naricanjem. I u svom naricanju podignut će nad tobom tužaljku i naricat će nad tobom govoreći: Koji je grad kao Tir, kao onaj razoren usred mora? Kad je tvoja roba izlazila iz mora, nasitio si mnoge narode; obogatio si kraljeve zemlje mnoštvom svoga bogatstva i svoje trgovine. U vrijeme kad budeš razbijen od mora u dubinama voda, tvoja roba i sve tvoje mnoštvo usred tebe past će. Svi stanovnici otoka bit će zapanjeni tobom, i njihovi će se kraljevi silno uplašiti, njihova će se lica uznemiriti. Trgovci među narodima zviždat će nad tobom; postat ćeš užas, i neće te više biti dovijeka. Ezekiel 27:30–36.

Ezekiel identifies the city as “Tyrus,” who is “destroyed in the midst of the sea?” Isaiah, speaking of the whore of Tyre (Tyrus), who is also the great whore of Revelation, who is the Catholic church, and also identifies her as the crowning city.

Ezekiel poistovjećuje grad kao „Tir”, koji je „uništen usred mora”? Izaija, govoreći o bludnici iz Tira (Tyrus), koja je također velika bludnica iz Otkrivenja, koja je Katolička crkva, također je poistovjećuje kao grad koji ovjenčava krunom.

> Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. Isaiah 23:7–9.

> Je li to vaš veseli grad, čija starina seže iz davnih dana? Njezine vlastite noge odnijet će je daleko u tuđinu. Tko je donio ovu odluku protiv Tira, grada koji kruni, čiji su trgovci knezovi, čiji su trgovci uglednici zemlje? Gospod nad vojskama to je naumio, da oskvrne oholost sve slave i da izvrgne prijeziru sve uglednike zemlje. Izaija 23:7–9.

The papacy is the “crowning city,” for it is she that claims to sit as a queen over the threefold union.

Papinstvo je „krunski grad“, jer upravo ono tvrdi da sjedi kao kraljica nad trostrukim savezom.

> How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Revelation 18:7.

> Koliko se proslavila i u raskoši živjela, toliko joj zadajte muke i žalosti; jer govori u srcu svojemu: Sjedim kao kraljica i nisam udovica te žalosti neću vidjeti. Otkrivenje 18,7.

Ezekiel said the whore’s judgment is accomplished in the “midst of the sea,” in his lamentation for Tyrus.

Ezekiel je rekao da se sud bludnice izvršava „usred mora” u njegovoj tužaljci nad Tirom.

> The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus. … The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. Ezekiel 27:1, 2, 25, 26.

> I dođe mi opet riječ Gospodnja govoreći: Sada, sine čovječji, podigni tužaljku za Tir. … Lađe taršiške pjevale su o tebi na tvojoj tržnici; i bio si ispunjen te vrlo proslavljen usred mora. Tvoji veslači odveli su te u velike vode; istočni te vjetar slomio usred mora. Ezekiel 27:1, 2, 25, 26.

It is the “east wind” that brings judgment upon the whore of Tyre, the crowning city, and the “east wind” is a symbol of Islam. The warfare brought against Islam by the ten kings is what destroys the papacy of the last days. The realization of the ten kings that they have been deceived also produces fear in their hearts.

„Istočni vjetar” donosi sud nad bludnicom Tira, gradom krunidbe, a „istočni vjetar” simbol je islama. Ratovanje koje deset kraljeva podižu protiv islama ono je što uništava papinstvo posljednjih dana. Spoznaja deset kraljeva da su bili prevareni također rađa strah u njihovim srcima.

> Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah. Psalms 48:2–8.

> Lijepom uzvisinom, radošću sve zemlje, gora je Sion, na sjevernim stranama, grad velikoga Kralja. Bog je poznat u njezinim palačama kao utočište. Jer evo, kraljevi se skupiše, prođoše zajedno. Vidješe to, i tada se zadiviše; smetoše se i pohitaše dalje. Ondje ih obuze strah i bolovi kao rodilju. Ti razbijaš lađe taršiške istočnim vjetrom. Kako smo čuli, tako smo i vidjeli u gradu Gospoda nad vojskama, u gradu Boga našega: Bog će ga utvrditi dovijeka. Sela. Psalmi 48:2–8.

The globalists looked upon the kingdom of God, as represented by the city of Jerusalem, but chose “that great city” Babylon as their head. When God judges that great city, they cry and lament as they recognize that they are lost, for the great city they chose is broken in the midst of the sea, by the warfare brought upon them by Islam (the east wind). And the warfare is a progressively escalating warfare, for it is as a woman in travail.

Globalisti su gledali na kraljevstvo Božje, predstavljeno gradom Jeruzalemom, ali su za svoju glavu izabrali „onaj veliki grad”, Babilon. Kad Bog sudi onomu velikom gradu, oni viču i nariču prepoznajući da su izgubljeni, jer je veliki grad koji su izabrali razbijen usred mora ratovanjem koje je na njih navukao islam (istočni vjetar). A to je ratovanje postupno sve žešće, jer je kao žena u trudovima porođajnim.

The kingdom of God that they have persecuted for the papacy is represented in Daniel chapter two, where we are informed that in “the days of these [globalist] kings,” God will set up His eternal kingdom.

Kraljevstvo Božje, koje su oni progonili radi papinstva, prikazano je u drugom poglavlju Danielove knjige, gdje smo obaviješteni da će u „dane tih [globalističkih] kraljeva” Bog uspostaviti svoje vječno kraljevstvo.

> And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Daniel 2:44.

> A u dane ovih kraljeva Bog nebeski podignut će kraljevstvo koje nikada neće biti razoreno; i to kraljevstvo neće biti prepušteno drugomu narodu, nego će satrti i uništiti sva ta kraljevstva, a samo će stajati dovijeka. Daniel 2,44.

The Millerites believed that they were living in the “days of these kings,” but the ten kings of Revelation seventeen had not yet come into history, indeed, they are just coming into view now. The Millerites were correct, but their vision was limited. The kingdom of God that is set up in the days of the kings of Revelation seventeen and eighteen, is the time period of the latter rain.

Mileriti su vjerovali da žive u „dane tih kraljeva“, ali deset kraljeva iz Otkrivenja sedamnaest još nije bilo stupilo na povijesnu scenu; štoviše, oni se tek sada pomaljaju na vidiku. Mileriti su bili u pravu, ali je njihovo viđenje bilo ograničeno. Kraljevstvo Božje koje se uspostavlja u dane kraljeva iz Otkrivenja sedamnaest i osamnaest jest vremensko razdoblje kasne kiše.

> “I saw that all things are intensely looking and stretching their thoughts on the impending crisis before them. The sins of Israel must go to judgment beforehand. Every sin must be confessed at the sanctuary, then the work will move. It must be done now. The remnant in the time of trouble will cry, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?

> „Vidjela sam da sve stvari usrdno gledaju i usmjeravaju svoje misli prema predstojećoj krizi koja je pred njima. Grijesi Izraela moraju unaprijed doći na sud. Svaki grijeh mora biti priznat u Svetištu, tada će djelo krenuti naprijed. To se mora učiniti sada. Ostatak će u vrijeme nevolje vikati: Bože moj, Bože moj, zašto si me ostavio?“

> “The latter rain is coming on those that are pure—all then will receive it as formerly.

> „Kasna kiša dolazi na one koji su čisti — tada će je svi primiti kao nekoć.“

> “When the four angels let go, Christ will set up His kingdom. None receive the latter rain but those who are doing all they can. Christ would help us. All could be overcomers by the grace of God, through the blood of Jesus. All heaven is interested in the work. Angels are interested.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

> „Kad četvorica anđela puste, Krist će uspostaviti svoje kraljevstvo. Nitko ne prima kasnu kišu osim onih koji čine sve što mogu. Krist bi nam pomogao. Svi bi mogli biti pobjednici milošću Božjom, po krvi Isusovoj. Cijelo je nebo zainteresirano za to djelo. Anđeli su zainteresirani.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

In the time of the latter rain, when the angels release the four winds, which in the “days of these kings,” Christ sets up His kingdom. The latter rain is progressive, and began to sprinkle on September 11, 2001, when the third Woe arrived into history, but the angering of the nations was immediately restrained. It continues to escalate in intensity, until the Sunday law in the United States, when it brings about national ruin. That escalating judgment then continues as every other nation follows the example of the United States, and therefore suffers the same judgments. It escalates until the close of probation. It progresses as a woman in travail.

U vrijeme kasne kiše, kada anđeli puštaju četiri vjetra, u „dane tih kraljeva“ Krist uspostavlja svoje kraljevstvo. Kasna kiša je progresivna i počela je rominjati 11. rujna 2001., kada je treće Jao ušlo u povijest, ali je razjarivanje narodâ odmah bilo obuzdano. Ono nastavlja rasti u silini sve do nedjeljnoga zakona u Sjedinjenim Državama, kada donosi nacionalnu propast. Ta eskalirajuća osuda zatim se nastavlja dok svaka druga nacija slijedi primjer Sjedinjenih Država te stoga trpi iste sudove. Ona raste sve do završetka vremena milosti. Napreduje poput žene u trudovima.

We will continue the consideration of the eighth being of the seven in the next article.

U sljedećem ćemo članku nastaviti razmatranje osmoga, koji je od sedmorice.

> “Just as long as those who profess the truth are serving Satan, his hellish shadow will cut off their views of God and heaven. They will be as those who have lost their first love. They cannot view eternal realities. That which God has prepared for us is represented in Zechariah, chapters 3 and 4, and 4:12–14: ‘And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.’

> „Sve dok oni koji ispovijedaju istinu služe Sotoni, njegova će paklena sjena zaklanjati njihove poglede na Boga i nebo. Bit će poput onih koji su izgubili svoju prvu ljubav. Ne mogu promatrati vječne stvarnosti. Ono što je Bog pripravio za nas prikazano je u Zahariji, 3. i 4. poglavlju, i 4,12–14: ‘I odgovorih opet te mu rekoh: Što su ove dvije maslinove grane koje kroz dvije zlatne cijevi izlijevaju iz sebe zlatno ulje? A on mi odgovori i reče: Ne znaš li što su ovo? I rekoh: Ne, gospodaru moj. Tada reče: To su dva pomazanika koji stoje pred Gospodarom sve zemlje.’”

> “The Lord is full of resources. He has no lack of facilities. It is because of our lack of faith, our earthliness, our cheap talk, our unbelief, manifested in our conversation, that dark shadows gather about us. Christ is not revealed in word or character as the One altogether lovely, and the chiefest among ten thousand. When the soul is content to lift itself up unto vanity, the Spirit of the Lord can do little for it. Our shortsighted vision beholds the shadow, but cannot see the glory beyond. Angels are holding the four winds, represented as an angry horse seeking to break loose and rush over the face of the whole earth, bearing destruction and death in its path.

> „Gospodin je pun izvora. Njemu ne nedostaje nikakvih sredstava. Zbog našega nedostatka vjere, naše prizemnosti, našega ispraznog govora, našega nevjerovanja, koje se očituje u našem razgovoru, tamne se sjene skupljaju oko nas. Krist se ne otkriva ni u riječi ni u karakteru kao Onaj koji je sav ljubak i najizvrsniji među deset tisuća. Kada se duša zadovoljava time da se uzdiže k ispraznosti, Duh Gospodnji može malo učiniti za nju. Naš kratkovidni pogled vidi sjenu, ali ne može vidjeti slavu koja je iza nje. Anđeli zadržavaju četiri vjetra, prikazane kao gnjevan konj koji nastoji otrgnuti se i provaliti preko lica cijele zemlje, noseći na svojem putu razaranje i smrt.”

> “Shall we sleep on the very verge of the eternal world? Shall we be dull and cold and dead? Oh, that we might have in our churches the Spirit and breath of God breathed into His people, that they might stand upon their feet and live. We need to see that the way is narrow, and the gate strait. But as we pass through the strait gate, its wideness is without limit.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 217.

> „Hoćemo li spavati na samom rubu vječnoga svijeta? Hoćemo li biti tromi, hladni i mrtvi? O, kad bismo u svojim crkvama imali Duha i dah Božji udahnut u Njegov narod, da bi mogli stati na svoje noge i živjeti. Trebamo uvidjeti da je put uzan i vrata tijesna. Ali kad prođemo kroz tijesna vrata, njihova je širina bez granica.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 217.
