The collapse of the Democratic party in the United States is a specific subject of biblical prophecy. It is one of the prophetic characteristics associated with the eighth and last president of the United States. It is associated with the prophetic dynamics of making the eighth president, who is of the seven, the head of the image of the beast. The image of the beast in the world is twofold, yet threefold. It is twofold in that it represents a combination of Church and State, but its threefold, for it is made up of ten kings (statecraft), that is directed by the premier king (churchcraft). That beast is ridden upon and reigned over by one head, that is the eighth head, that is of the seven.

Det Demokratiske partis sammenbrud i De Forenede Stater er et specifikt emne i den bibelske profeti. Det er et af de profetiske kendetegn, der er knyttet til De Forenede Staters ottende og sidste præsident. Det er forbundet med de profetiske dynamikker, hvorved den ottende præsident, som er af de syv, gøres til hovedet for dyrets billede. Dyrets billede i verden er todelt, men dog tredelt. Det er todelt derved, at det repræsenterer en forening af Kirke og Stat, men det er tredelt, for det består af ti konger (statskunst), som ledes af den fornemste konge (kirkekunst). Dette dyr bæres og beherskes af ét hoved, det vil sige det ottende hoved, som er af de syv.

The image of the beast in the United States is twofold, yet threefold. It is twofold in that it represents a combination of church and state, but its threefold, for it is made up with an apostate Republican horn (statecraft), that is directed by an apostate Protestant horn (churchcraft). That beast is ridden upon and reigned over by one head, that is the eighth head, which is of the seven.

Billedet af dyret i De Forenede Stater er todelt, men dog trefoldigt. Det er todelt, idet det repræsenterer en forening af kirke og stat; men det er trefoldigt, fordi det består af et frafaldent republikansk horn (statskunst), som styres af et frafaldent protestantisk horn (kirkekunst). Dette dyr rides på og herskes over af ét hoved, nemlig det ottende hoved, som er af de syv.

The head, in either case, is a full-blown dictator. The environment where his dictatorship is clearly illustrated is the line of the history when the earth beast speaks as a dragon, for “speaking” is the primary characteristic of the earth beast. It spoke in 1776, 1789, 1798, 1863, 2001, 2021 and it is about to speak again when the image is fully formed at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Hovedet er i begge tilfælde en fuldbyrdet diktator. Det miljø, hvor hans diktatur tydeligt fremstilles, er den historiske linje, hvor jordens dyr taler som en drage, for „at tale“ er jorddyrets primære kendetegn. Det talte i 1776, 1789, 1798, 1863, 2001, 2021, og det er ved at tale igen, når billedet er fuldt dannet ved den snart kommende søndagslov.

In the days of Paul, the mystery of iniquity, which was the papal power, was already at work, but it was being restrained by the dragon of pagan Rome. In 1798 and 1799, the dragon removed the man of sin from power, but in 1989, the pope of Rome defeated the dragon of the Soviet Union. The entire prophetic history, all the way to the end, portrays the papacy as in a warfare with the dragon. The pope of Rome is the despot who is to be lifted up as the head of the evil confederacy of the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days. Sister White said “under one head, the papal power,” and the Psalmist also identifies the ten kings lifting up the eighth head, that is of the seven.

På Paulus’ tid var lovløshedens hemmelighed, som var den pavelige magt, allerede virksom, men den blev holdt tilbage af dragen, det hedenske Rom. I 1798 og 1799 fjernede dragen syndens menneske fra magten, men i 1989 besejrede biskoppen af Rom dragen fra Sovjetunionen. Hele den profetiske historie, helt frem til enden, fremstiller pavedømmet som værende i krig med dragen. Biskoppen af Rom er den despot, som skal ophøjes som hovedet for den onde sammenslutning i den trefoldige union af dragen, dyret og den falske profet i de sidste dage. Søster White sagde: „under ét hoved, den pavelige magt“, og salmisten identificerer også de ti konger som dem, der ophøjer det ottende hoved, som er af de syv.

> For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. Psalms 83:2–4.

> Thi se, dine fjender larme, og de, som hader dig, løfter hovedet. De lægger listige råd op imod dit folk og rådfører sig imod dine skjulte. De siger: Kom, lad os udrydde dem, så de ikke mere er et folk, og Israels navn ikke mere ihukommes. Salmernes Bog 83:2–4.

When the United States forms an image of the beast, it will be threefold in nature, and also twofold. It will be a twofold combination of churchcraft and statecraft, but that political system will be reigned over by one head. The eighth president will reign over and ride the image of the beast. The eighth president, who is of the seven previous presidents, is the last president of “the sixth” kingdom of Bible prophecy, and he received his deadly wound as “the sixth” president.

Når De Forenede Stater danner et billede af dyret, vil det være trefoldigt af natur og tillige tofoldigt. Det vil være en tofoldig sammenslutning af kirkepolitik og statskunst, men dette politiske system vil blive regeret af ét hoved. Den ottende præsident vil herske over og ride på dyrets billede. Den ottende præsident, som er af de syv foregående præsidenter, er den sidste præsident i „det sjette“ rige i Bibelens profeti, og han modtog sit dødelige sår som „den sjette“ præsident.

The prophetic man of sin has been in a war with the dragon for his entire history. Donald Trump is the rich king that stirred up the dragon of globalism, and he has been in a political, social and philosophical war with the dragon powers ever since he first announced his intent to run for president on June 16, 2015, at the Trump Tower in New York City, the very city where the Twin Towers came down on September 11, 2001, and the city where the Freedom Tower, that replaced the Twin Towers was dedicated on November 3, 2014.

Den profetiske syndens mand har gennem hele sin historie været i krig med dragen. Donald Trump er den rige konge, som ophidsede globalismens drage, og han har lige siden, han første gang bekendtgjorde sin hensigt om at stille op til præsidentvalget den 16. juni 2015 i Trump Tower i New York City, netop den by, hvor Tvillingetårnene styrtede sammen den 11. september 2001, og den by, hvor Freedom Tower, som erstattede Tvillingetårnene, blev indviet den 3. november 2014, været i en politisk, social og filosofisk krig med dragens magter.

At the soon coming Sunday law, the marriage between Christ and the one hundred and forty-four thousand is consummated, and the fornication between the whore of Rome and the kings of the earth is consummated in a counterfeit marriage. At that Sunday law the twins from the garden of Eden are both lifted up, and also simultaneously attacked by a counterfeit. Those twin institutions are marriage and the seventh-day Sabbath.

Ved den snart kommende søndagslov fuldbyrdes ægteskabet mellem Kristus og de hundrede og fireogfyrre tusinde, og utugten mellem Roms skøge og jordens konger fuldbyrdes i et forfalsket ægteskab. Ved den søndagslov ophøjes begge tvillingerne fra Edens have, og angribes også samtidig af en forfalskning. Disse tvillingeinstitutioner er ægteskabet og den syvende dags sabbat.

> “When the Pharisees afterward questioned Him concerning the lawfulness of divorce, Jesus pointed His hearers back to the marriage institution as ordained at creation. ‘Because of the hardness of your hearts,’ He said, Moses ‘suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.’ Matthew 19:8. He referred them to the blessed days of Eden, when God pronounced all things ‘very good.’ Then marriage and the Sabbath had their origin, twin institutions for the glory of God in the benefit of humanity. Then, as the Creator joined the hands of the holy pair in wedlock, saying, A man shall ‘leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one’ (Genesis 2:24), He enunciated the law of marriage for all the children of Adam to the close of time. That which the Eternal Father Himself had pronounced good was the law of highest blessing and development for man.” Thoughts From the Mount of Blessings, 63.

> „Da farisæerne senere spurgte Ham om, hvorvidt skilsmisse var lovlig, henviste Jesus sine tilhørere tilbage til ægteskabsordningen, sådan som den blev indstiftet ved skabelsen. »For jeres hjertes hårdheds skyld,« sagde Han, »tillod Moses jer at skille jer fra jeres hustruer; men fra begyndelsen var det ikke således.« Matthæus 19:8. Han henviste dem til Edens velsignede dage, da Gud erklærede alle ting for »meget gode«. Da havde ægteskabet og sabbatten deres oprindelse, tvillingeinstitutioner til Guds ære og til gavn for menneskeheden. Da Skaberen forenede det hellige pars hænder i ægteskab og sagde: En mand skal »forlade sin far og sin mor og holde sig til sin hustru, og de to skal være ét kød« (1 Mosebog 2:24), kundgjorde Han ægteskabets lov for alle Adams børn indtil tidens ende. Det, som den evige Fader selv havde erklæret for godt, var loven om den højeste velsignelse og udvikling for mennesket.“ Tanker fra saligprisningernes bjerg, 63.

The threefold union where apostate Protestantism, spiritualism and Catholicism join hands at the Sunday law is a counterfeit of the marriage in Eden where “the Creator joined the hands of the holy pair in wedlock.” At the Sunday law the twin institutions of Marriage and the Sabbath, are lifted up, and simultaneously desecrated. The history of the sealing began when the Twin Towers came down, and that history ends when the twin institutions of Marriage and the Sabbath are lifted up. In the midst of that history the Freedom Tower was dedicated in 2014, and Trump’s stirring up of globalism began at the Trump Tower in 2015.

Den trefoldige forening, hvor frafalden protestantisme, spiritualisme og katolicisme slår hænderne sammen ved søndagsloven, er en forfalskning af ægteskabet i Eden, hvor “Skaberen sammenføjede det hellige pars hænder i ægteskab.” Ved søndagsloven ophøjes tvillingeinstitutionerne Ægteskabet og Sabbatten, og vanhelliges samtidigt. Forseglingens historie begyndte, da Tvillingetårnene styrtede sammen, og denne historie ender, når tvillingeinstitutionerne Ægteskabet og Sabbatten ophøjes. Midt i denne historie blev Freedom Tower indviet i 2014, og Trumps opildning af globalismen begyndte ved Trump Tower i 2015.

The Twin Towers were brought down as a rebuke of the globalists’ love of money, and the Freedom Tower is a representation of Nimrod’s rebellion against the God of Heaven and the judgment He had brought with the flood, just as the Freedom Tower is a symbol against God’s judgment of September 11, 2001.

Tvillingetårnene blev styrtet som en irettesættelse af globalisternes kærlighed til penge, og Freedom Tower er en fremstilling af Nimrods oprør mod Himlens Gud og den dom, Han havde bragt med vandfloden, ligesom Freedom Tower er et symbol imod Guds dom den 11. september 2001.

> “On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were erected to glorify their owners and builders. Higher and still higher these buildings rose, and in them the most costly material was used. Those to whom these buildings belonged were not asking themselves: ‘How can we best glorify God?’ The Lord was not in their thoughts.

> „Ved en lejlighed, da jeg var i New York City, blev jeg i nattens timer kaldet til at betragte bygninger, der rejste sig etage på etage mod himlen. Disse bygninger blev garanteret brandsikre, og de blev opført for at herliggøre deres ejere og bygherrer. Højere og stadig højere ragede disse bygninger op, og i dem blev de kostbareste materialer anvendt. De, som disse bygninger tilhørte, spurgte ikke sig selv: ‘Hvordan kan vi bedst herliggøre Gud?’ Herren var ikke i deres tanker.“

> “I thought: ‘Oh, that those who are thus investing their means could see their course as God sees it! They are piling up magnificent buildings, but how foolish in the sight of the Ruler of the universe is their planning and devising. They are not studying with all the powers of heart and mind how they may glorify God. They have lost sight of this, the first duty of man.’

> „Jeg tænkte: ’O, at de, som således anvender deres midler, kunne se deres fremgangsmåde, som Gud ser den! De ophober prægtige bygninger, men hvor tåbelig er deres planlægning og udtænkning i universets Herskers øjne. De gransker ikke med alle hjerte- og sindets kræfter, hvordan de kan herliggøre Gud. De har mistet dette af syne, menneskets første pligt.’“

> “As these lofty buildings went up, the owners rejoiced with ambitious pride that they had money to use in gratifying self and provoking the envy of their neighbors. Much of the money that they thus invested had been obtained through exaction, through grinding down the poor. They forgot that in heaven an account of every business transaction is kept; every unjust deal, every fraudulent act, is there recorded. The time is coming when in their fraud and insolence men will reach a point that the Lord will not permit them to pass, and they will learn that there is a limit to the forbearance of Jehovah.” Testimonies, volume 9, 12.

> „Efterhånden som disse prægtige bygninger rejste sig, frydede ejerne sig med ærgerrig stolthed over, at de havde penge at bruge til at tilfredsstille selvet og vække deres naboers misundelse. En stor del af de penge, som de således investerede, var opnået ved udbytning, ved at knuge de fattige. De glemte, at der i himlen føres regnskab over enhver forretningstransaktion; enhver uretfærdig handel, enhver svigagtig handling, er dér optegnet. Tiden kommer, da mennesker i deres bedrag og overmod vil nå et punkt, som Herren ikke vil tillade dem at overskride, og de vil lære, at der er en grænse for Jehovas langmodighed.“ Testimonies, bind 9, s. 12.

The rebellion represented by Nimrod’s tower was against God’s recent judgment of the Flood, and it typified the rebellion of the globalist bankers against the recent judgment of God. Freedom as defined in the globalist dictionary is quite contrary to biblical freedom. Freedom in the dictionary of the dragon is licentiousness, symbolized by the immorality of the French Revolution.

Det oprør, som Nimrods tårn repræsenterede, var rettet imod Guds nylige dom i Syndfloden, og det var et forbillede på de globalistiske bankmænds oprør imod Guds nylige dom. Frihed, som den defineres i den globalistiske ordbog, står i skarp modsætning til den bibelske frihed. Frihed i dragens ordbog er tøjlesløshed, symboliseret ved den Franske Revolutions umoral.

> “‘The great city’ in whose streets the witnesses are slain, and where their dead bodies lie, is ‘spiritually’ Egypt. Of all nations presented in Bible history, Egypt most boldly denied the existence of the living God and resisted His commands. No monarch ever ventured upon more open and highhanded rebellion against the authority of Heaven than did the king of Egypt. When the message was brought him by Moses, in the name of the Lord, Pharaoh proudly answered: ‘Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto His voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.’ Exodus 5:2, A.R.V. This is atheism, and the nation represented by Egypt would give voice to a similar denial of the claims of the living God and would manifest a like spirit of unbelief and defiance. ‘The great city’ is also compared, ‘spiritually,’ to Sodom. The corruption of Sodom in breaking the law of God was especially manifested in licentiousness. And this sin was also to be a pre-eminent characteristic of the nation that should fulfill the specifications of this scripture.

> „‘Den store stad’, i hvis gader vidnerne dræbes, og hvor deres døde legemer ligger, er ‘åndeligt’ Egypten. Af alle de nationer, der fremstilles i Bibelens historie, fornægtede Egypten mest dristigt den levende Guds eksistens og modstod Hans befalinger. Ingen monark vovede nogen sinde et mere åbent og overmodigt oprør mod Himmelens myndighed end Egyptens konge. Da budskabet blev bragt til ham af Moses i Herrens navn, svarede Farao stolt: ‘Hvem er Jehova, at jeg skulle høre på hans røst og lade Israel fare? Jeg kender ikke Jehova, og jeg vil heller ikke lade Israel fare.’ 2 Mosebog 5:2. Dette er ateisme, og den nation, der fremstilles ved Egypten, ville give udtryk for en lignende fornægtelse af den levende Guds krav og ville åbenbare en tilsvarende ånd af vantro og trods. ‘Den store stad’ sammenlignes også, ‘åndeligt’, med Sodoma. Sodomas fordærv ved overtrædelsen af Guds lov kom især til udtryk i tøjlesløshed. Og denne synd skulle også være et fremtrædende kendetegn ved den nation, der skulle opfylde denne skrifts specifikationer.״

> “According to the words of the prophet, then, a little before the year 1798 some power of satanic origin and character would rise to make war upon the Bible. And in the land where the testimony of God’s two witnesses should thus be silenced, there would be manifest the atheism of the Pharaoh and the licentiousness of Sodom.

> “Ifølge profetens ord ville der altså kort før året 1798 fremstå en magt af satanisk oprindelse og karakter for at føre krig imod Bibelen. Og i det land, hvor vidnesbyrdet fra Guds to vidner således skulle bringes til tavshed, ville Faraos ateisme og Sodomas tøjlesløshed komme til syne.

> “This prophecy has received a most exact and striking fulfillment in the history of France. During the Revolution, in 1793, ‘the world for the first time heard an assembly of men, born and educated in civilization, and assuming the right to govern one of the finest of the European nations, uplift their united voice to deny the most solemn truth which man’s soul receives, and renounce unanimously the belief and worship of a Deity.’—Sir Walter Scott, Life of Napoleon, vol. 1, ch. 17. . ..

> "Denne profeti har fået en yderst nøjagtig og slående opfyldelse i Frankrigs historie. Under Revolutionen, i 1793, hørte 'verden for første gang en forsamling af mennesker, født og opdraget i civilisationen, og som tilegnede sig retten til at styre en af de ypperste blandt de europæiske nationer, løfte deres forenede røst for at fornægte den højtideligste sandhed, som menneskets sjæl modtager, og enstemmigt give afkald på troen på og tilbedelsen af en Guddom.'—Sir Walter Scott, Life of Napoleon, vol. 1, ch. 17...."

> “France presented also the characteristics which especially distinguished Sodom. During the Revolution there was manifest a state of moral debasement and corruption similar to that which brought destruction upon the cities of the plain. And the historian presents together the atheism and the licentiousness of France, as given in the prophecy: ‘Intimately connected with these laws affecting religion, was that which reduced the union of marriage—the most sacred engagement which human beings can form, and the permanence of which leads most strongly to the consolidation of society—to the state of a mere civil contract of a transitory character, which any two persons might engage in and cast loose at pleasure…. If fiends had set themselves to work to discover a mode of most effectually destroying whatever is venerable, graceful, or permanent in domestic life, and of obtaining at the same time an assurance that the mischief which it was their object to create should be perpetuated from one generation to another, they could not have invented a more effectual plan that the degradation of marriage…. Sophie Arnoult, an actress famous for the witty things she said, described the republican marriage as ‘the sacrament of adultery.’”—Scott, vol. 1, ch. 17.” The Great Controversy, 269, 270.

> “Frankrig fremviste også de karaktertræk, som i særlig grad kendetegnede Sodoma. Under Revolutionen åbenbaredes en tilstand af moralsk fornedrelse og fordærv, som lignede den, der bragte ødelæggelse over slettens byer. Og historikeren fremstiller samlet Frankrigs ateisme og tøjlesløshed, således som det er givet i profetien: ‘Nært forbundet med disse love, der angik religionen, var den lov, som reducerede ægteskabets forening—den helligste forpligtelse, mennesker kan indgå, og hvis varighed stærkest bidrager til samfundets konsolidering—til en ren civil kontrakt af forbigående karakter, som enhver to personer kunne indgå og ophæve efter forgodtbefindende…. Hvis dæmoner havde sat sig for at finde en måde, hvorpå man mest effektivt kunne ødelægge alt, hvad der er ærværdigt, yndefuldt eller varigt i hjemmelivet, og samtidig opnå sikkerhed for, at det onde, som det var deres hensigt at skabe, ville blive videreført fra den ene generation til den anden, kunne de ikke have opfundet en mere virksom plan end ægteskabets nedværdigelse…. Sophie Arnoult, en skuespillerinde berømt for de vittige ting, hun sagde, beskrev det republikanske ægteskab som “utroskabens sakramente.”’”—Scott, bind 1, kap. 17.” Den store strid, 269, 270.

The Freedom Tower in New York City that was dedicated in 2014, represents not only the rebellion of Nimrod’s tower, but it is also the symbol of the globalists definition of freedom, as manifested in the promotion of the licentious LGBTQ+ movement, that represents rebellion against God’s law. True freedom is just the opposite of what that tower represents, but a classic work of deception employed by the followers of the dragon, is to redefine words and phrases to produce incorrect conclusions. The dragon is the classic attorney, and he is the word-smith that twists language to produce wicked outcomes. But the true meaning of the word “freedom”, is not the freedom that is represented by the anarchy of Antifa, or the licentiousness symbolized by the revolution in France.

Freedom Tower i New York City, som blev indviet i 2014, repræsenterer ikke alene Nimrods tårns oprør, men er også symbolet på globalisternes definition af frihed, sådan som den kommer til udtryk i fremme af den tøjlesløse LGBTQ+-bevægelse, der repræsenterer oprør mod Guds lov. Sand frihed er det stik modsatte af, hvad dette tårn repræsenterer, men et klassisk bedrag, som anvendes af dragens efterfølgere, er at omdefinere ord og vendinger for at frembringe urigtige konklusioner. Dragen er den klassiske sagfører, og han er den ordsmed, som forvrider sproget for at frembringe ugudelige resultater. Men den sande betydning af ordet „frihed“ er ikke den frihed, som repræsenteres ved Antifas anarki eller den tøjlesløshed, der symboliseres ved revolutionen i Frankrig.

> “Every soul that refuses to give himself to God is under the control of another power. He is not his own. He may talk of freedom, but he is in the most abject slavery. He is not allowed to see the beauty of truth, for his mind is under the control of Satan. While he flatters himself that he is following the dictates of his own judgment, he obeys the will of the prince of darkness. Christ came to break the shackles of sin-slavery from the soul. ‘If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.’ ‘The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus’ sets us ‘free from the law of sin and death.’ Romans 8:2.

> „Enhver sjæl, som nægter at overgive sig selv til Gud, er under en anden magts herredømme. Han tilhører ikke sig selv. Han taler måske om frihed, men han er i det mest ynkelige slaveri. Det tillades ham ikke at se sandhedens skønhed, for hans sind er under Satans kontrol. Mens han smigrer sig med, at han følger sit eget skøns anvisninger, adlyder han mørkets fyrstes vilje. Kristus kom for at bryde syndeslaveriets lænker af sjælen. „Hvis altså Sønnen får frigjort jer, skal I være virkelig frie.“ „Livets Ånds lov i Kristus Jesus“ gør os „fri fra syndens og dødens lov“. Romerne 8,2.

> “In the work of redemption there is no compulsion. No external force is employed. Under the influence of the Spirit of God, man is left free to choose whom he will serve. In the change that takes place when the soul surrenders to Christ, there is the highest sense of freedom. The expulsion of sin is the act of the soul itself. True, we have no power to free ourselves from Satan’s control; but when we desire to be set free from sin, and in our great need cry out for a power out of and above ourselves, the powers of the soul are imbued with the divine energy of the Holy Spirit, and they obey the dictates of the will in fulfilling the will of God.” The Desire of Ages, 466.

> "I genløsningens værk findes ingen tvang. Ingen ydre magt bringes i anvendelse. Under Guds Ånds indflydelse overlades mennesket frit til at vælge, hvem det vil tjene. I den forandring, som finder sted, når sjælen overgiver sig til Kristus, ligger den højeste frihedsfølelse. Syndens uddrivelse er sjælens egen handling. Det er sandt, at vi ikke har nogen magt til at befri os selv fra Satans herredømme; men når vi ønsker at blive frigjort fra synden og i vor store nød råber om en kraft uden for og over os selv, da gennemtrænges sjælens kræfter af Helligåndens guddommelige energi, og de adlyder viljens bud i opfyldelsen af Guds vilje." Messias, 466.

The freedom represented by the Freedom Tower, was the licentiousness of the French Revolution and the rebellion of Nimrod. The very next year at the Trump Tower, the richest president since 1989 announced his candidacy that would stir up the globalists. That same year gay marriage was approved at the federal level in the United States, as it had been in the revolution in France when they changed marriage into “a mere civil contract of a transitory character.”

Den frihed, som Freedom Tower repræsenterede, var den franske revolutions tøjlesløshed og Nimrods oprør. Allerede det følgende år, ved Trump Tower, bekendtgjorde den rigeste præsident siden 1989 sit kandidatur, hvilket ville bringe globalisterne i oprør. Samme år blev homoseksuelt ægteskab godkendt på føderalt niveau i De Forenede Stater, sådan som det også var blevet under revolutionen i Frankrig, da de forvandlede ægteskabet til »blot en borgerlig kontrakt af forbigående karakter«.

The war between the dragon, and the richest president was initiated. The destruction of the Twin Towers by the touch of God’s power marked the beginning of the sealing time and the arrival of the bottomless pit beast of Islam. At the dedication of the Freedom Towers in the midst of that prophetic history, the arrival of the bottomless pit beast of Atheism is marked. Now, the fall of the twin institutions of Sabbath and marriage, that were set in place in the Garden of Eden, mark the conclusion of the sealing time and the arrival of the third, Catholic beast from the bottomless pit.

Krigen mellem dragen og den rigeste præsident blev indledt. Ødelæggelsen af Tvillingetårnene ved berøringen af Guds kraft markerede begyndelsen på beseglingens tid og ankomsten af afgrundens dyr, Islam. Ved indvielsen af Frihedstårnene midt i denne profetiske historie markeres ankomsten af afgrundens dyr, Ateismen. Nu markerer faldet af de to institutioner, sabbatten og ægteskabet, som blev indstiftet i Edens have, afslutningen på beseglingens tid og ankomsten af det tredje, katolske dyr fra afgrunden.

On November 3, 2020 Trump received a deadly political wound as the papacy received a deadly wound in 1798. The wound was delivered by literal France in 1798, and by spiritual France in 2020.

Den 3. november 2020 modtog Trump et dødbringende politisk sår, ligesom pavedømmet modtog et dødbringende sår i 1798. Såret blev påført af det bogstavelige Frankrig i 1798 og af det åndelige Frankrig i 2020.

> And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:7, 8.

> Og når de har fuldendt deres vidnesbyrd, skal dyret, som stiger op af afgrunden, føre krig imod dem og overvinde dem og dræbe dem. Og deres døde legemer skal ligge på gaden i den store stad, som i åndelig forstand kaldes Sodoma og Egypten, hvor også vor Herre blev korsfæstet. Åbenbaringen 11:7, 8.

In The Great Controversy, Sister White identifies France as “the great city where our Lord was crucified”.

I Den store strid identificerer søster White Frankrig som »den store stad, hvor vor Herre blev korsfæstet«.

> “According to the words of the prophet, then, a little before the year 1798 some power of satanic origin and character would rise to make war upon the Bible. And in the land where the testimony of God’s two witnesses should thus be silenced, there would be manifest the atheism of the Pharaoh and the licentiousness of Sodom.” The Great Controversy, 270.

> »Ifølge profetens ord ville der altså kort før året 1798 opstå en magt af satanisk oprindelse og karakter for at føre krig mod Bibelen. Og i det land, hvor vidnesbyrdet fra Guds to vidner således skulle bringes til tavshed, ville Faraos ateisme og Sodomas tøjlesløshed blive åbenbaret.« The Great Controversy, 270.

At the soon coming Sunday law in the United States the image of the beast will be fully formed, and those who have fully formed the image of Christ will be lifted up as God’s ensign. As an ensign they will uphold the seventh-day Sabbath, and represent Christ’s righteousness to the world. Christ’s righteousness is only accomplished by the combination of Divinity with humanity, and within this great truth, which is defined as a mystery, the institution of marriage is lifted up. The ensign represents the Sabbath and its twin institution of marriage.

Ved den snart forestående søndagslov i De Forenede Stater vil dyrets billede blive fuldt ud formet, og de, som fuldt ud har formet Kristi billede, vil blive ophøjet som Guds banner. Som et banner vil de hævde sabbatten på den syvende dag og repræsentere Kristi retfærdighed for verden. Kristi retfærdighed fuldbyrdes kun ved foreningen af guddommelighed med menneskelighed, og inden for denne store sandhed, som defineres som et mysterium, ophøjes ægteskabets institution. Banneret repræsenterer sabbatten og dens tvillingeinstitution, ægteskabet.

> For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:23–32.

> For manden er kvindens hoved, ligesom Kristus er menighedens hoved; og han er legemets frelser. Derfor, ligesom menigheden underordner sig Kristus, således skal også hustruerne i alle ting underordne sig deres egne mænd. I mænd, elsk jeres hustruer, ligesom Kristus også elskede menigheden og gav sig selv hen for den, for at han kunne hellige og rense den ved vandbadet i ordet, for at han selv kunne fremstille menigheden for sig som herlig, uden plet eller rynke eller noget sådant, men for at den skulle være hellig og uden lyde. Således bør mændene elske deres hustruer som deres egne legemer. Den, som elsker sin hustru, elsker sig selv. Ingen har jo nogen sinde hadet sit eget kød, men nærer og plejer det, ligesom Herren menigheden. For vi er lemmer på hans legeme, af hans kød og af hans ben. Derfor skal en mand forlade sin far og mor og holde sig til sin hustru, og de to skal være ét kød. Dette er en stor hemmelighed; men jeg taler med henblik på Kristus og menigheden. Efeserne 5:23–32.

The ensign is a symbol of the twin institutions of the Sabbath and Marriage, and the marriage represents the combination of Divinity with humanity. The mystery of that marriage represents His church, which is His temple.

Banneret er et symbol på de to institutioner, sabbatten og ægteskabet, og ægteskabet repræsenterer foreningen af guddommelighed med menneskelighed. Mysteriet ved dette ægteskab repræsenterer hans kirke, som er hans tempel.

> „Tårnet var et symbol på templet.“ The Desire of Ages, 596.

At the beginning of the sealing time the Twin Towers came down, in the middle of the sealing time, two “towers” representing the process of separating two classes (for both horns), were identified, and at the end of the sealing time, the Twin Towers of God’s temple and Sabbath will be lifted up as an ensign to the Gentiles.

Ved begyndelsen af beseglingstiden faldt Tvillingetårnene, midt i beseglingstiden blev to »tårne«, der repræsenterede processen med at adskille to klasser (for begge horn), identificeret, og ved afslutningen af beseglingstiden vil tvillingetårnene i Guds tempel og sabbat blive løftet op som et banner for hedningerne.

> For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? Isaiah 2:12–22.

> For Hærskarers Herres dag skal komme over enhver, som er stolt og hovmodig, og over enhver, som er ophøjet; og han skal ydmyges; og over alle Libanons cedre, som er høje og ranke, og over alle Basans egetræer, og over alle de høje bjerge, og over alle de høje høje, og over hvert højt tårn, og over hver befæstet mur, og over alle Tarsis’ skibe, og over alle kostelige billeder. Og menneskets hovmod skal bøjes ned, og mænds overmod skal ydmyges; og Herren alene skal være ophøjet på den dag. Og afguderne skal han helt afskaffe. Og de skal gå ind i klippehulerne og ind i jordens grotter af frygt for Herren og for hans majestæts herlighed, når han rejser sig for med forfærdelse at ryste jorden. På den dag skal et menneske kaste sine sølvafguder og sine guldafguder, som de hver især har lavet sig for at tilbede, til muldvarpene og flagermusene, for at gå ind i klipperevnerne og i de stejle klippers sprækker af frygt for Herren og for hans majestæts herlighed, når han rejser sig for med forfærdelse at ryste jorden. Hold op med at stole på mennesket, hvis ånde er i hans næsebor; for hvad er han at regne for? Esajas 2:12–22.

> My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. Psalms 144:2.

> Min godhed og min fæstning, mit høje tårn og min udfrier, mit skjold og han, på hvem jeg stoler, han, som underlægger mit folk under mig. Salme 144,2.
