It has been established upon several witnesses that in history and in prophecy Rome always comes up eighth and is of the seven. The prophetic riddle of this symbol is part of what the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals just before the close of probation. Christ never changes, and in the First and Great Disappointments of Millerite history, He revealed a truth which explained the mystery of the disappointment.

E mewoela ya n’ọnụ ọtụtụ ndị àmà na n’akụkọ ihe mere eme nakwa n’amụma, Rom na-apụta mgbe niile dịka nke asatọ, ma bụrụkwa otu n’ime asaa ahụ. Ilu amụma nke ihe nnọchianya a bụ akụkụ nke ihe Ọdụm nke ebo Juda na-emepe akara ya obere oge tupu mmechi nke oge nnwale. Kraịst anaghị agbanwe agbanwe mgbe ọ bụla, ma n’ime Mmechuihu Mbụ na nke Ukwuu nke akụkọ ihe mere eme ndị Millerite, O kpughere eziokwu nke kọwara ihe omimi nke mmechuihu ahụ.

After the First Disappointment in Millerite history, He removed His hand from a mistake in some of the figures represented upon the 1843 chart. The mistake represented the prophetic misunderstanding that produced the Disappointment. The Millerites were ultimately led to a series of understandings, which firmly established the starting date of the twenty-three hundred days. With a firm starting point, that was primarily based upon the date of the cross, they then saw the same prophetic evidence that they had been employing to identify 1843, actually identified not only 1844, but the very day of October 22, 1844.

Mgbe Nnukwu Nkụda-mmụọ Mbụ gasịrị n’akụkọ ihe mere eme ndị Millerite, O wepụrụ aka Ya n’ime njehie dị n’ime ụfọdụ n’ime ọnụọgụ ndị e gosiri n’elu chaatị 1843.

After the second and Great Disappointment, the Lord once again revealed a truth which answered all the prophetic dilemmas created by their incorrect proclamation that October 22, 1844 was the Second Coming of Christ. The Lord opened the subject of the Sanctuary, and its connected truths, and the Great Disappointment was explained.

Mgbe ndakpọ olileanya nke abụọ ahụ, nke ukwu kwa, gasịrị, Onyenwe anyị gosikwara ọzọ eziokwu nke zara nsogbu amụma nile nke nkwusa ha na-ezighị ezi kpatara, nke kwuru na Ọktoba 22, 1844 bụ Ọbịbịa nke Abụọ nke Kraịst. Onyenwe anyị meghere isiokwu nke Ebe Nsọ ahụ, na eziokwu ndị jikọtara ya na ya, a kọwakwara Ndakpọ Olileanya Ukwu ahụ.

> “As a people, we should be earnest students of prophecy; we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in 1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there performing the closing work of his priestly office, in fulfillment of the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’

> “Dị ka otu ndị mmadụ, anyị kwesịrị ịbụ ndị na-amụ amụma nke ọma na n’ezi obi; anyị ekwesịghị izu ike ruo mgbe anyị ga-abụ ndị nwere nghọta n’ihe gbasara okwu nke ebe nsọ ahụ, nke e kpughere n’ọhụụ Daniel na Jọn.

> “Our faith in reference to the messages of the first, second, and third angels was correct. The great way-marks we have passed are immovable. Although the hosts of hell may try to tear them from their foundation, and triumph in the thought that they have succeeded, yet they do not succeed. These pillars of truth stand firm as the eternal hills, unmoved by all the efforts of men combined with those of Satan and his host. We can learn much, and should be constantly searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so. God’s people are now to have their eyes fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going forward,—where he is interceding for his people.” Review and Herald, November 27, 1883.

The disappointment of the disciples at the crucifixion was based upon an incorrect understanding of the kingdom which Christ was to establish at the cross. John the Baptist and the apostle Paul’s ministries included the work of identifying that the dispensation of literal Israel and the literal earthly sanctuary had transitioned unto spiritual Israel and the spiritual heavenly sanctuary. The Lion of the tribe of Judah always explains the disappointment to the “wise.” The explanation of the prophetic riddle of Rome being “the eighth, but is of the seven”, is part of the work the Lion of Judah is accomplishing to explain the disappointment of July 18, 2020.

The Millerites saw Rome as the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and they saw the distinction between paganism and papalism, but could not see papal Rome as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Shortly after 1844, the pioneers saw that the United States was the next kingdom of Bible prophecy.

Ndị Miller hụrụ Rom dịka alaeze nke anọ n’amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ, ha hụkwara ọdịiche dị n’etiti ikpere arụsị na ọchịchị ndị pàpà, ma ha enweghị ike ịhụ Rom ndị pàpà dịka alaeze nke ise n’amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ. N’oge na-adịghị anya mgbe 1844 gasịrị, ndị pionia hụrụ na United States bụ alaeze na-esote n’amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ.

That recognition is represented upon the 1850 pioneer chart, but their ability to recognize the full illustration of the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, as represented in Revelation chapter seventeen, was beyond their ability to comprehend, for they began to wander in the wilderness of Laodicea after their rejection of the “seven times” in 1863.

A na-anọchi anya mmata ahụ n’elu chaatị ndị ọsụ ụzọ nke 1850, ma ikike ha ịmata ihe osise zuru ezu nke alaeze ndị amụma nke Akwụkwọ Nsọ, dịka e si gosi ya n’ime Mkpughe isi nke iri na asaa, karịrị ike nghọta ha, n’ihi na ha malitere ịkpafu n’ọzara Laodisia mgbe ha jụrụ “oge asaa” ahụ n’afọ 1863.

> “The history of ancient Israel is a striking illustration of the past experience of the Adventist body. God led His people in the advent movement, even as He led the children of Israel from Egypt. In the great disappointment their faith was tested as was that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea. Had they still trusted to the guiding hand that had been with them in their past experience, they would have seen the salvation of God. If all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts. A flood of light would have been shed upon the world. Years ago the inhabitants of the earth would have been warned, the closing work completed, and Christ would have come for the redemption of His people.

> “It was not the will of God that Israel should wander forty years in the wilderness; He desired to lead them directly to the land of Canaan and establish them there, a holy, happy people. But ‘they could not enter in because of unbelief.’ Hebrews 3:19. Because of their backsliding and apostasy they perished in the desert, and others were raised up to enter the Promised Land. In like manner, it was not the will of God that the coming of Christ should be so long delayed and His people should remain so many years in this world of sin and sorrow. But unbelief separated them from God. As they refused to do the work which He had appointed them, others were raised up to proclaim the message. In mercy to the world, Jesus delays His coming, that sinners may have an opportunity to hear the warning and find in Him a shelter before the wrath of God shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 458.

> “Ọ bụghị uche Chineke ka Izrel jegharịa afọ iri anọ n’ọzara; Ọ chọrọ iduga ha ozugbo n’ala Kenan ma mee ka ha guzosie ike n’ebe ahụ, bụrụ ndị nsọ, ndị obi ụtọ.

James and Ellen White both identified that the movement had transitioned into the movement of Laodicea in 1856, and in the previous passage she identifies that “if all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts.” Then she says, “In like manner,” the “backsliding and apostasy” that ancient Israel manifested, caused ancient Israel to “perish in the desert.” The passage is identifying that Laodicean Adventism began to wander in the wilderness in the time period when those who had proclaimed the message of the Midnight Cry were still alive.

Jems na Ellen White abụọ kọwara na mmegharị ahụ abanyela n’ime mmegharị nke Laodisia n’afọ 1856, ma n’akwụkwọ gara aga ọ na-akọwa na “ọ bụrụ na ndị niile rụrụkọrọ ọrụ n’otu n’ọrụ ahụ n’afọ 1844, natara ozi nke mmụọ ozi nke atọ ma kwusaa ya n’ike nke Mmụọ Nsọ, Onyenwe anyị gaara eji ike dị ukwuu rụọ ọrụ site n’mbọ ha.” Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị, “N’otu aka ahụ,” “ịla azụ” na “ndapụ n’ezi okwukwe” nke Izrel oge ochie gosipụtara, mere ka Izrel oge ochie “laa n’iyi n’ọzara.” Akụkụ ahụ na-egosi na Adventizim nke Laodisia malitere ịkpafu n’ọzara n’oge ahụ mgbe ndị kwusara ozi nke Mkpu Etiti abalị ka dị ndụ.

Today the theologians (the learned) identify various applications for Revelation chapter seventeen, that are either derived from the methodology of futurism that was invented by the Jesuits, or the corrupted theological practices of apostate Protestantism. The symbols of Revelation seventeen, are very simple. We have identified the necessary symbols, so we will return to the kingdoms represented there and align them with the kingdoms of Daniel chapter two, for Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

> And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 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. Revelation 17:10–12.

> Ndị eze asaa dịkwa: ise adawo, otu nọ ugbu a, nke ọzọ abịabeghịkwa; ma mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ghaghị ịnọ naanị obere oge.

In verse three, John was spiritually conveyed to 1798. At that vantage point in history, he was told that there were five kingdoms that had already fallen. Those kingdoms were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, pagan Rome and papal Rome. William Miller could not unravel this passage in chapter seventeen, for he could not recognize that papal Rome was a distinct kingdom from pagan Rome. Yet the sequence is addressed in chapters twelve and thirteen of Revelation, for the dragon in chapter twelve represented pagan Rome, the beast that came from the sea in chapter thirteen was the papacy and the earth beast is the United States. Sister White identifies all three of these beasts as the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. In providing her testimony she identifies the sequence of the kingdoms, and the sequence agrees with the application we are making of Revelation seventeen.

> “Under the symbols of a great red dragon, a leopard-like beast, and a beast with lamblike horns, the earthly governments which would especially engage in trampling upon God’s law and persecuting His people, were presented to John. The war is carried on till the close of time. The people of God, symbolized by a holy woman and her children, were represented as greatly in the minority. In the last days only a remnant still existed. Of these John speaks as they ‘which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.’

> “N’okpuru ihe nnọchianya nke nnukwu dragọn uhie, anụ ọhịa yiri agụ, na anụ ọhịa nke nwere mpi yiri nke nwa atụrụ, e gosiri Jọn ọchịchị ụwa ndị ahụ nke ga-etinyekarị aka n’ịzọpịa iwu Chineke na n’ịkpagbu ndị Ya.

> “Through paganism, and then through the Papacy, Satan exerted his power for many centuries in an effort to blot from the earth God’s faithful witnesses. Pagans and papists were actuated by the same dragon spirit. They differed only in that the Papacy, making a pretense of serving God, was the more dangerous and cruel foe. Through the agency of Romanism, Satan took the world captive. The professed church of God was swept into the ranks of this delusion, and for more than a thousand years the people of God suffered under the dragon’s ire. And when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.

> “Site n’ofufe arụsị, ma emesịa site n’aka Papacy, Setan jiri ike ya rụọ ọrụ ruo ọtụtụ narị afọ n’ịgbalị ihichapụ n’ụwa ndị àmà Chineke kwesịrị ntụkwasị obi.

> “But the stern tracing of the prophetic pencil reveals a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, and that “he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Thus Protestantism follows in the steps of the Papacy.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

> “Ma mdepụta siri ike nke mkpịsị-ese amụma na-ekpughe mgbanwe n’ọnọdụ udo a. Anụ ọhịa ahụ nke nwere mpi dịka nke nwa atụrụ na-ekwu okwu n’olu dragọn, ma ‘na-eme ihe n’ike nile nke anụ ọhịa mbụ ahụ n’ihu ya.’ Amụma ahụ na-ekwupụta na ọ ga-agwa ndị bi n’ụwa ka ha mee oyiyi nke anụ ọhịa ahụ, nakwa na “ọ na-eme ka mmadụ nile, ma ndị nta ma ndị ukwu, ndị ọgaranya ma ndị ogbenye, ndị nweere onwe ha ma ndị ohu, nata akara n’aka nri ha, ma ọ bụ n’egedege ihu ha; ka mmadụ ọ bụla ghara ịzụta ma ọ bụ ree, ma e wezụga onye nwere akara ahụ, ma ọ bụ aha anụ ọhịa ahụ, ma ọ bụ ọnụọgụ aha ya.” N’ụzọ dị otu a, Protestantism na-agbaso nzọụkwụ nke Papacy.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

In the first paragraph of the last passage, Sister White identifies pagan Rome, papal Rome and the United States as “earthly governments.” In the second paragraph she identifies that the governments were sequential when she says, “through paganism, and then through the Papacy,” and “when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work.” She does not stop there though, for in the third paragraph she identifies that the United States was to force another kingdom upon the entire world. She says, “The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast.”

N’akụkụ edemede mbụ nke ngafe ikpeazụ ahụ, Nwanyị White kpọrọ Rom ndị ọgọ mmụọ, Rom nke ndị popu, na United States “ọchịchị nke ụwa.” N’akụkụ nke abụọ, ọ kọwara na ọchịchị ndị ahụ bịara n’usoro na-esochi ibe ha mgbe ọ sịrị, “site n’okpukpe ndị ọgọ mmụọ, ma emesịa site n’aka ndị popu,” nakwa, “mgbe e wepụrụ ndị popu ike ha, ma manye ha ịkwụsị mkpagbu, Jọn hụrụ ike ọhụrụ ka ọ na-ebili iji kwughachi olu dragọn ahụ, ma gaa n’ihu n’otu ọrụ ahụ dị obi ọjọọ na nke nkwulu Chineke.” Ma ọ kwụsịghị n’ebe ahụ, n’ihi na n’akụkụ nke atọ ọ kọwara na United States ga-amanye alaeze ọzọ n’elu ụwa nile. Ọ sịrị, “Anụ ọhịa ahụ nke nwere mpi dị ka nke nwa atụrụ na-ekwu okwu n’olu dragọn, ma ‘na-eji ike niile nke anụ ọhịa mbụ ahụ n’ihu ya arụ ọrụ.’ Amụma na-ekwupụta na ọ ga-agwa ndị bi n’ụwa ka ha meere anụ ọhịa ahụ oyiyi.”

Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify pagan Rome, papal Rome, the United States and the world image of the beast, that is set up by the United States. The definition of the “image of the beast” is the combination of Church and State, and for the entire world to set up an image of the beast, by definition it identifies that in the last days, a one-world government will be forced upon the entire earth. The kingdom will consist of a State and a Church, with the Church ruling over the relationship. Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify four sequential kingdoms, and those same kingdoms are represented in chapter seventeen, and also in Daniel chapter two.

In 1798, John saw the first five kingdoms of Bible prophecy had already fallen, and that in 1798, one kingdom then existed. The kingdom of Bible prophecy that began in 1798, was the earth beast of Revelation thirteen, that began as a lamb, but ends up speaking as a dragon. The United States is the two-horned sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, that follows the fifth kingdom of spiritual Babylon that had received a deadly wound. The fifth kingdom was spiritual Babylon, who had been typified by the first kingdom of literal Babylon. The sixth kingdom with two horns had been typified by the two arms of silver.

N’afọ 1798, Jọn hụrụ na alaeze ise mbụ nke amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ adaala ugbua, nakwa na n’afọ 1798, otu alaeze nọ mgbe ahụ. Ala-eze nke amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ nke bidoro n’afọ 1798 bụ anụ ọhịa nke ụwa nke Mkpughe isi nke iri na atọ, nke malitere dị ka nwa atụrụ, ma mechaa kwuo okwu dịka dragọn.

In 1798, there was to be a kingdom that was yet in the future, for in 1798, “the other is not yet come.” When that seventh kingdom came into history, it would only “continue a short space.” The fifth kingdom received a deadly wound, the sixth kingdom had two horns and the seventh kingdom only continues for a brief period of time. The context of the passage identified that the seventh kingdom is represented by the “ten kings”, for when the “ten kings” become a kingdom, they only rule for “one hour,” and one “hour” is a short “space.” When the “ten kings” do reign, they rule together for the “one hour” with the beast.

N’afọ 1798, a ga-enwe alaeze nke ka dị n’ọdịnihu, n’ihi na n’afọ 1798, “nke ọzọ ahụ erubeghị.” Mgbe alaeze nke asaa ahụ bịara n’akụkọ ihe mere eme, ọ ga-anọgide naanị “obere oge.” Alaeze nke ise natara ọnyá na-egbu egbu, alaeze nke isii nwere mpi abụọ, alaeze nke asaa kwa na-anọgide naanị n’oge dị mkpirikpi. Ihe gbara amaokwu ahụ gburugburu kọwara na alaeze nke asaa ahụ ka “ndị eze iri” na-anọchi anya ya, n’ihi na mgbe “ndị eze iri” ahụ ghọrọ alaeze, ha na-achị naanị “otu awa,” ma “otu awa” bụ “obere oge” dị mkpirikpi. Mgbe “ndị eze iri” ahụ na-achị, ha na anụ ọhịa ahụ na-achịkọ ọnụ n’ime “otu awa” ahụ.

> 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. Revelation 17:12.

> Mpi iri nke ị hụrụ bụ eze iri, ndị na-anatabeghị alaeze ruo ugbu a; ma ha na-anata ike dị ka eze otu awa ha na anụ ọhịa ahụ nọ. Mkpughe 17:12.

The “ten horns” are the seventh kingdom, but they rule together with the beast for “one hour”. The “one hour” is the period of the Sunday law crisis that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. They agree to rule with the beast, for they are forced to do so by the primary king, which is the United States. Sister White in the passage we just cited, identifies that the last power to persecute God’s people is the earth beast.

“mpi iri” ahụ bụ alaeze nke asaa, ma ha na anụ ọhịa ahụ na-achịkọrịta ọchịchị “otu awa”. “Otu awa” ahụ bụ oge ọgbaaghara iwu Ụbọchị Sọnde nke na-amalite na iwu Ụbọchị Sọnde na-abịa n’oge na-adịghị anya na United States. Ha kwetara iso anụ ọhịa ahụ chịa, n’ihi na e mere ka ha mee otú ahụ site n’aka eze bụ isi, nke bụ United States. Nwanneanyị White, n’akụkụ amaokwu ahụ anyị ka kpọtụrụ, na-akọwapụta na ike ikpeazụ ga-akpagbu ndị Chineke bụ anụ ọhịa nke ụwa.

> “John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

> “Jọn hụrụ ike ọhụrụ ka ọ na-abịa ka o kwughachi olu dragọn ahụ, ma gbasaa otu ọrụ ahụ nke obi ọjọọ na nkwulu Chineke. Ike a, nke bụ nke ikpeazụ ga-alụso ụka na iwu Chineke ọgụ, ka e ji anụ ọhịa nwere mpi dịka nke nwa atụrụ nọchianya ya.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

The last kingdom of Bible prophecy is brought about through the deception accomplished by the United States, as the False Prophet. The kingdom began as a lamb in 1798, but in the last days it forces the world to accept the worldwide image of the beast, which is by definition the combination of a Church and a State with the Church in control of the relationship. That kingdom is also identified as a three-fold union.

A na-eweta alaeze ikpeazụ nke amụma Baịbụl site n’aghụghọ nke United States rụpụtara, dịka Onye-amụma Ụgha. Alaeze ahụ malitere dịka nwa atụrụ n’afọ 1798, ma n’ụbọchị ikpeazụ ọ na-amanye ụwa ịnakwere oyiyi anụ ọhịa nke zuru ụwa ọnụ, nke site n’ịkọwa ya bụ njikọta nke Chọọchị na Ọchịchị, ebe Chọọchị na-achịkwa mmekọrịta ahụ. A na-akọwakwa alaeze ahụ dịka njikọ atọ n’otu.

> “The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.

> “Ndị Protestant nke United States ga-abụ ndị ga-ebute ụzọ n’ịgbatị aka ha gafee olulu miri emi ahụ iji jide aka nke Spiritizim; ha ga-agbatịkwa gafee abis ahụ iji kpakọrịta aka na ike Roman; ma n’okpuru mmetụta nke njikọ okpukpu atọ a, obodo a ga-eso nzọụkwụ nke Rome n’ịzọgbu ikike nke akọ na uche.” The Great Controversy, 588.

The threefold union is the union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, which in Revelation sixteen go forth to the kings of the earth and lead the world to Armageddon.

Njikọ atọ ahụ bụ njikọ nke dragọn ahụ, anụ ọhịa ahụ, na onye amụma ụgha ahụ, ndị nke na Mkpughe isi nke iri na isii na-apụ ịga n’ebe ndị eze nke ụwa nọ ma duru ụwa gaa Amagedọn.

> And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Revelation 16:13, 14.

> M hụkwara mmụọ atọ na-adịghị ọcha, dị ka mbe, ka ha si n’ọnụ dragọn ahụ, na n’ọnụ anụ ọhịa ahụ, na n’ọnụ onye amụma ụgha ahụ pụta.

Mkpughe 16:13, 14.

The “Roman power” is the papacy, the beast and the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy that received a deadly wound. The “Protestants” represent the United States, the false prophet, the sixth and final kingdom of Bible prophecy. “Spiritualism” is the United Nations, the dragon and the kingdom that agrees to rule for one hour with the beast. The threefold union is accomplished during the “one hour” that is the “hour” of the “great earthquake” in Revelation eleven, which is the soon-coming Sunday law.

“Ike Rom” ahụ bụ papacy, anụ ọhịa ahụ na alaeze nke ise n’amụma Bible nke natara ọnya na-egbu egbu. “Ndị Protestant” na-anọchi anya United States, amụma ụgha ahụ, alaeze nke isii na nke ikpeazụ n’amụma Bible. “Spiritualism” bụ United Nations, dragọn ahụ na alaeze ahụ nke kwetara ịchị otu awa ya na anụ ọhịa ahụ.

> “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.

> “Site n’iwu e ji amanye idobe òtù ọchịchị nke Papacy n’ụzọ na-emegide iwu Chineke, mba anyị ga-ekewapụ onwe ya kpamkpam n’ezi omume.

In Daniel chapter two, Babylon, the first kingdom of Bible prophecy represented by the head of gold, typifies spiritual Babylon, the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The twofold kingdom of the Medes and Persians, the shoulders and arms of silver, the second kingdom of Bible prophecy in Daniel two, represents the two-horned earth beast, the United States, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The brass of the image of Daniel two, representing Greece, the third kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the United Nations, the seventh head that continues for “one hour”, and that agrees to accept a position in the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet.

N’isi nke abụọ nke Daniel, Babilọn, alaeze mbụ nke amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ nke isi ọlaedo ahụ nọchiri anya ya, na-anọchi anya Babilọn ime mmụọ, alaeze nke ise nke amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ.

The iron kingdom of Daniel chapter two, the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven. Literal pagan Rome, the fourth kingdom, represents modern Rome, which is a kingdom that is structured with the combination of Church and State, with the Church ruling over the relationship. That kingdom is threefold in nature, for the premier king of the “ten kings” is the sixth kingdom which is the earth beast. The sixth kingdom is Ahab, who was married to Jezebel. The sixth kingdom when represented in its threefold union is modern Rome, that was preceded by the fifth kingdom that was papal Rome, which was preceded by the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome.

Alaeze ígwè nke Daniel isi nke abụọ, alaeze nke anọ nke amụma Akwụkwọ Nsọ, na-anọchi anya alaeze nke asatọ, nke sitere n’ime asaa ahụ. Rom oge ochie nke ndị ọgọ mmụọ, alaeze nke anọ, na-anọchi anya Rom nke oge a, nke bụ alaeze e wuru n’ọdịdị njikọta Chọọchị na Ọchịchị, ebe Chọọchị na-achị n’elu mmekọrịta ahụ. Alaeze ahụ bụ nke akụkụ atọ n’ọdịdị ya, n’ihi na eze kacha elu nke “ndị eze iri” ahụ bụ alaeze nke isii nke bụ anụ ọhịa nke ụwa. Alaeze nke isii bụ Ehab, onye lụrụ Jezebel. Alaeze nke isii, mgbe e gosipụtara ya n’ime njikọta ya nke akụkụ atọ, bụ Rom nke oge a, nke alaeze nke ise bụ́ Rom ndị popu buru ya ụzọ, nke alaeze nke anọ bụ́ Rom ndị ọgọ mmụọ buru kwa ya ụzọ.

The Millerites only saw Rome as the fourth and final kingdom. They recognized it was twofold in nature, but could see no other following earthly kingdom. The fourth kingdom was pagan Rome, which preceded papal Rome the fifth kingdom, that is followed by modern Rome the sixth kingdom. The sixth kingdom is the third of three Roman manifestations.

Ndị Miller naanị hụrụ Rome dịka alaeze nke anọ na nke ikpeazụ. Ha ghọtara na ọdịdị ya bụ nke akụkụ abụọ, ma ha enweghị ike ịhụ alaeze ụwa ọ bụla ọzọ ga-eso ya. Ala-eze nke anọ bụ Rome ndị ọgọ mmụọ, nke buru ụzọ tupu Rome ndị popu, bụ ala-eze nke ise, nke Rome nke oge a, bụ ala-eze nke isii, na-eso. Ala-eze nke isii bụ nke atọ n’ime ngosipụta atọ nke Rome.

The threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet is both modern Rome and also Babylon the Great, whose deadly wound is healed. The United States, the United Nations and the whore of Tyre represent the eighth and final kingdom, but they are all three allies in the threefold union of the sixth kingdom, which is the last power “to wage war against the church and the law of God.”

Njikọ ahụ nke ugboro atọ nke dragọn ahụ, anụ ọhịa ahụ, na onye amụma ụgha ahụ bụ ma Rome nke oge a, bụrụkwa Babilọn Ukwu ahụ, nke a gwọpụtara ọnya ọnwụ ya.

The United States is one-third of the sixth kingdom. The United Nations, as part of the threefold union, is also one-third of the sixth kingdom, and the papacy is also one-third of the sixth kingdom. At this level the number for the United States is SIX, and the number for the United Nations is SIX and the number of the papacy is SIX. The threefold union represents the number of a man, the “man of sin”, and his number is SIX-SIX-SIX.

United States bụ otu ụzọ n’ime atọ nke alaeze nke isii. United Nations, dị ka akụkụ nke njikọ nke akụkụ atọ ahụ, bụkwa otu ụzọ n’ime atọ nke alaeze nke isii, papacy ahụ kwa bụkwa otu ụzọ n’ime atọ nke alaeze nke isii. N’ogo a, ọnụ ọgụgụ nke United States bụ ISII, na ọnụ ọgụgụ nke United Nations bụ ISII, na ọnụ ọgụgụ nke papacy bụkwa ISII. Njikọ nke akụkụ atọ ahụ na-anọchi anya ọnụ ọgụgụ nke mmadụ, “nwoke mmehie”, ọnụ ọgụgụ ya bụkwa ISII-ISII-ISII.

> 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. Revelation 13:18.

> Nke a bụ amamihe. Ka onye nwere nghọta gụọ ọnụ ọgụgụ nke anụ ọhịa ahụ: n’ihi na ọ bụ ọnụ ọgụgụ nke mmadụ; ọnụ ọgụgụ ya bụ narị isii, iri isii na isii. Mkpughe 13:18.

The sixth and final separate kingdom is the United States, but it deceives the world, for it is the False Prophet.

Alaeze nke isii na nke ikpeazụ nke dị iche iche bụ United States, ma ọ na-eduhie ụwa, n’ihi na ọ bụ Onye-amụma Ụgha.

> And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Revelation 13:12–14.

> Ọ na-egosikwa ike nile nke anụ ọhịa mbụ ahụ n’ihu ya, ma na-eme ka ụwa na ndị bi n’ime ya fee anụ ọhịa mbụ ahụ ofufe, onye e gwọrọ ọnya ọnwụ ya.

Mkpughe 13:12–14.

The “power of the first beast before him,” represents the power that was given to the papacy by the kings of Europe, beginning with Clovis in the year 496. The United States uses its military might, accompanied by its economic might to deceive and coerce the world. The United States forces the world to worship the papacy, through the enforcement of Sunday worship. The United States performs great wonders by making fire, (a symbol of a message) to come down out of heaven, that is to be accomplished by the Information Super-Highway, that represents the full development of brainwashing and propaganda, that is the modern manifestation of hypnosis. Because of the escalating crisis brought upon the earth by Islam, as they fulfill their role in angering the nations, the world is deceived to accept the worldwide system of the combination of Church and State that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

“Ike nke anụ ọhịa mbụ n’ihu ya,” na-anọchi anya ike e nyere ọchịchị ndị popu site n’aka ndị eze Europe, malite na Clovis n’afọ 496.

When verse eighteen of Revelation thirteen says count the number of the beast, the number is the three powers that come together to make up the sixth and final kingdom. When that kingdom of 666, is put in place, it will be the fulfillment of the prophetic riddle that the eighth king is of the seven. That prophetic riddle is part of the truth that is unsealed when the Lion of the tribe of Judah, unseals the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Mgbe amaokwu nke iri na asatọ nke Mkpughe isi nke iri na atọ kwuru ka a gụọ ọnụ ọgụgụ nke anụ ọhịa ahụ, ọnụ ọgụgụ ahụ bụ ike atọ ndị ahụ na-ezukọta ọnụ imeju alaeze nke isii na nke ikpeazụ. Mgbe e guzobere alaeze ahụ nke 666, ọ ga-abụ mmezu nke ilu amụma ahụ nke na-ekwu na eze nke asatọ sitere n’ime asaa ahụ. Ilu amụma ahụ bụ akụkụ nke eziokwu ahụ a kpọghechara akara ya mgbe Ọdụm nke ebo Juda meghere akara nke Mkpughe nke Jizọs Kraịst.

For this reason the riddle of the final kingdom that is the threefold sixth kingdom, that is also spiritual Babylon that was forgotten for seventy symbolic years, and who is modern Rome, and who is also the worldwide image of the beast, who was typified by the first kingdom of Babylon, and the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, is twice witnessed to by the identification that it is the “wise” that will understand this truth, for the enigma of 666, is premised upon those who have wisdom, as is the enigma of the eighth king being of the seven.

N’ihi nke a, ilu ahụ gbasara alaeze ikpeazụ nke bụ alaeze nke isii nke nwere akụkụ atọ, nke bụkwa Babilọn ime mmụọ e chefuru echefu ruo afọ iri asaa nke ihe nnọchianya, nke bụkwa Rom nke oge a, nke bụkwa onyinyo anụ ọhịa nke ụwa dum, nke alaeze mbụ nke Babilọn, na alaeze nke anọ nke Rom ndị ọgọ mmụọ, nọchiri anya ya, a na-agba ya àmà ugboro abụọ site n’ịkọwapụta na ọ bụ ndị “amamihe” ga-aghọta eziokwu a; n’ihi na ilu nke 666 dabeere n’ebe ndị nwere amamihe nọ, dịka ilu nke eze nke asatọ si bụrụ onye sitere n’ime asaa.

> 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. Revelation 13:18.

> Nke a bụ amamihe. Ka onye nwere nghọta gụọ ọnụ ọgụgụ nke anụ ọhịa ahụ: n’ihi na ọ bụ ọnụ ọgụgụ nke mmadụ; ọnụ ọgụgụ ya bụ narị isii na iri isii na isii. Mkpughe 13:18.

> And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Revelation 17:9.

> Nke a bụkwa uche nke nwere amamihe. Isi asaa ahụ bụ ugwu asaa, nke nwanyị ahụ nọkwasịrị n’elu ha. Mkpughe 17:9.

The unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is understood by the “wise,” not by the wicked. Both references of wisdom in the book of Revelation are about those who have “understanding,” and what the “wise” understand is the “increase of knowledge”. The “increase of knowledge” that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation that the eighth kingdom, which is the threefold kingdom of 666, is also represented in Daniel chapter two, for the jewels of Miller’s dream are to shine ten times brighter in the last days.

A na-aghọta mmeghe nke Mkpughe Jisọs Kraịst site n’aka ndị “amamihe,” ọ bụghị site n’aka ndị ajọ mmadụ. Ntụaka abụọ ahụ banyere amamihe n’akwụkwọ Mkpughe metụtara ndị nwere “nghọta,” ihe ndị “amamihe” na-aghọtakwa bụ “ịba ụba nke ọmụma.” “Ịba ụba nke ọmụma” ahụ, nke bụ Mkpughe Jisọs Kraịst, bụ mkpughe ahụ na alaeze nke asatọ, nke bụ alaeze ugboro atọ nke 666, ka a na-anọchikwakwa ya n’akwụkwọ Daniel isi nke abụọ, n’ihi na ihe ịchọ mma ndị ahụ dị na nrọ Miller ga-enwu ugboro iri karịa n’ụbọchị ikpeazụ.

> “In the Revelation are portrayed the deep things of God. The very name given to its inspired pages, ‘the Revelation,’ contradicts the statement that this is a sealed book. A revelation is something revealed. The Lord Himself revealed to His servant the mysteries contained in this book, and He designs that they shall be open to the study of all. Its truths are addressed to those living in the last days of this earth’s history, as well as to those living in the days of John. Some of the scenes depicted in this prophecy are in the past, some are now taking place; some bring to view the close of the great conflict between the powers of darkness and the Prince of heaven, and some reveal the triumphs and joys of the redeemed in the earth made new.

> “Let none think, because they cannot explain the meaning of every symbol in the Revelation, that it is useless for them to search this book in an effort to know the meaning of the truth it contains. The One who revealed these mysteries to John will give to the diligent searcher for truth a foretaste of heavenly things. Those whose hearts are open to the reception of truth will be enabled to understand its teachings, and will be granted the blessing promised to those who ‘hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’

> “In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.
