Those on the wrong side of this final controversy of the symbol of Rome lean upon a flawed application of a triple application of prophecy as they suggest that the three Rome’s are defined by the three Sunday laws of the years 321, 538 and the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. In doing so they place an incorrect slant upon the rule and the prophetic history they select, as was also done in the controversy over the four insects of Joel. The four generations followed by four devouring insects in the first six verses of Joel address how God’s people are progressively decimated over four generations, and that the decimation was accomplished by Adventism’s acceptance of the theology of Rome and apostate Protestantism.

Wong-wong kang mapan ana ing sisih kang kliru sajroning pasulayan pungkasan iki ngenani pralambang Roma nyandhak marang sawijining panganggone ramalan kaping telu kang cacat, amarga padha ngandharake manawa telung Roma iku katetepake déning telung undhang-undhang Minggu ing taun 321, 538, lan undhang-undhang Minggu ing Amérika Sarékat kang enggal rawuh. Kanthi mangkono, padha maringi pepénget kang kliru marang paugeran lan sajarah ramalan kang padha pilih, kaya dene uga wis katindakaké ing pasulayan ngenani papat gegremetan ing kitab Yoèl. Papat turunan kang banjur katutaké déning papat gegremetan pamangan ing enem ayat kapisan kitab Yoèl iku ngrembug babagan kepriyé umaté Allah sathithik mbaka sathithik kasirnakaké sajroning papat turunan, lan manawa karusakan iku kalaksanan lumantar panriman Adventisme marang teologi Roma lan Protestanisme murtad.

In the current controversy those who attempt to employ the Sunday law to define the three Rome’s, avoid the truth that there are actually four Sunday laws that are identified in God’s prophetic word, and that the year 321 represents the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, and the Sunday law of 538 typifies the Sunday law which is enforced upon all the nations of the world. Four Sunday laws does not identify three Sunday laws, especially when the third manifestation in a triple application of prophecy represents the final fulfillment. The soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is not the final Sunday law, it actually marks the beginning of a series of Sunday laws as each nation on the globe progressively accepts the mark of papal authority.

Ing pasulayan saiki, wong-wong kang nyoba migunakaké angger-angger Minggu kanggo netepaké telung Roma, nyingkiri kayektèn manawa satemené ana papat angger-angger Minggu kang kaidentifikasi ing pangandikaning Allah sing asipat kenabian, lan manawa taun 321 nggambaraké angger-angger Minggu sing bakal enggal teka ing Amérika Sarékat, déné angger-angger Minggu taun 538 dadi pralambang tumrap angger-angger Minggu kang dipaksakaké marang sakèhé bangsa ing donya. Papat angger-angger Minggu ora netepaké telung angger-angger Minggu, mliginé nalika manifestasi katelu ing sawijining panerapan rangkep telu saka pitedah kenabian nggambaraké panggenapan pungkasan. Angger-angger Minggu sing bakal enggal teka ing Amérika Sarékat iku dudu angger-angger Minggu pungkasan; satemené iku nandhani wiwitaning sawijining rerangkening angger-angger Minggu nalika saben bangsa ing saindhenging bumi saya-saya nampani tandha wewenang kapausan.

Those who were awakened in July 2023 are required to understand that the prophetic test that confronts them occurs during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and that during that outpouring one class is receiving the “oil,” and the other class is receiving “strong delusion.” The primary representation of those who receive strong delusion is represented in the very chapter where the expression strong delusion is located, and in that chapter the truth that is either loved or rejected is the truth which defines the prophetic relationship between pagan Rome and papal Rome.

Wong-wong sing kawangun ing Juli 2023 kudu mangertèni yèn ujian kenabian sing ngadhepi wong-wong mau dumadi sajrone pambucalaning Roh Suci, lan yèn sajrone pambucalan mau siji golongan nampi “lenga,” déné golongan sijiné nampi “kesasar sing kuwat.” Gambaran utama tumrap wong-wong sing nampi kesasar sing kuwat iku kacetha ana ing pasal dhéwé pangandika “kesasar sing kuwat” iku dumunung, lan ing pasal iku kayektèn sing ditresnani utawa ditampik iku yaiku kayektèn sing netepaké sesambungan kenabian antarané Roma kapir lan Roma kapausan.

The prophetic relationship between 321 and 538 is shown by the prophetic relationship between the church of Pergamos and the church of Thyatira. In the last days, pagan Rome, represented by 321 and Pergamos, is a symbol of the United States, and papal Rome, represented by 538 and Thyatira, is a symbol of Modern Rome.

Sesambetan profètis antarané 321 lan 538 katuduhaké déning sesambetan profètis antarané pasamuwan Pergamos lan pasamuwan Tiatira. Ing dina-dina pungkasan, Roma kapir, sing dilambangaké déning 321 lan Pergamos, iku pralambang Amerika Sarékat, lan Roma kapausan, sing dilambangaké déning 538 lan Tiatira, iku pralambang Roma Modern.

The first Rome of 321 was a singular power state, and the second Rome of 538 was a dual power representing a combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. The third and final Rome, which is modern Rome, is a threefold power that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

Roma kapisan taun 321 iku sawijining nagara kakuwasan tunggal, lan Roma kapindho taun 538 iku kakuwasan rangkep loro sing makili sawijining gabungan greja lan nagara, kanthi greja nguwasani sesambungan mau. Roma katelu lan pungkasan, yaiku Roma modern, iku kakuwasan rangkep telu sing dumadi saka naga, kéwan galak, lan nabi palsu.

Paul taught that to not understand the prophetic and historic relationship of pagan Rome (the dragon) and papal Rome (the beast) was to manifest a hatred of the truth which brought about strong delusion. All the prophets, including Paul were more specifically addressing the last days, so the relationship between the two powers in Paul’s history represents the relationship between the three powers of Modern Rome in the last days. To reject the prophetic relationship that “forms” the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days is to secure strong delusion for yourself.

Paulus mulang bilih boten mangertos gegayutan profetik lan sajarah antawisipun Roma kapir (sang naga) lan Roma kepausan (sang kéwan) punika ateges nedahaken sengit dhateng kayekten, ingkang ndadosaken kasasar ingkang kiyat. Kabeh para nabi, kalebet Paulus, langkung mliginipun ngandharaken bab dinten-dinten wekasan, mila gegayutan antawisipun kalih kakiyatan punika wonten ing sajarahipun Paulus makili gegayutan antawisipun tigang kakiyatan Roma Modhèren ing dinten-dinten wekasan. Nampik gegayutan profetik ingkang “mbentuk” pasamuwan telu saunggalipun sang naga, sang kéwan, lan nabi palsu ing dinten-dinten wekasan punika ateges ngukuhaken kasasar ingkang kiyat tumrap awakmu piyambak.

Uriah Smith’s private interpretation of the king of the north represented a “cause” that produced an “effect.” But the class that is on the wrong side of the controversies about Rome is specifically identified as being unable to reason from cause to effect. Smith did not see that his flawed application of the king of the north would produce a prophetic platform which would lead him to also misrepresent the sixth plague, where there is a warning to keep or lose the garment of Christ’s righteousness.

Tafsiran pribadi Uriah Smith ngenani raja ing sisih lor nggambarake sawijining “sebab” kang ngasilake sawijining “akibat.” Nanging golongan kang ana ing sisih kang salah sajrone pasulayan babagan Roma kanthi cetha diidentifikasi minangka wong-wong kang ora bisa nalar saka sebab marang akibat. Smith ora weruh manawa panrapane kang cacat tumrap raja ing sisih lor bakal ngasilake sawijining landhesan profetik kang bakal nuntun dhèwèké uga ngliru nggambarake wewelak kaping nem, ing ngendi ana pepènget supaya njaga utawa kelangan sandhangan kabeneraning Kristus.

As with Paul’s emphasis in Second Thessalonians, John in chapter sixteen of Revelation and the sixth plague emphasizes the necessity of understanding who the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon are. Smith’s flawed application of the king of the north provides witness to an inability to rightly apply types and antitypes.

Kaya dene panekanané Paulus ing 2 Tesalonika, Yohanes ing Wahyu bab nembelas lan wewelak kaping nem nandhesaké kabutuhan kanggo mangertèni sapa telung kakuwasan sing nuntun donya menyang Armagedon. Panganggoné Smith sing kliru tumrap ratu saka lor maringaké paseksi bab ora mampuné kanggo nerapaké tatanan pralambang lan antitironé kanthi bener.

Smith could not, or would not, apply the principle so strongly set forth in the writings of Paul that the literal before the time-period of the cross represented the spiritual after the time-period of the cross. When this principle is carefully and correctly followed it is easily demonstrated that the “king of the north” is one of many symbols that represent the spiritual “king of the north” in the last days. Seventh-day Adventists above any other people should know that one of the primary structures that prophecy is based upon is the controversy between Christ and Satan. Christ is the true King of the north, and Satan has been attempting to manifest himself as the counterfeit king of the north.

Smith ora bisa, utawa ora gelem, ngetrapake asas sing kanthi cetha banget kaandharake ing tulisan-tulisan Paulus, yaiku manawa kang harfiah sadurunge jangka wektu salib nglambangake kang rohani sawisé jangka wektu salib. Manawa asas iki dituruti kanthi tliti lan bener, bakal gampang kabukten manawa “raja sisih lor” iku salah siji saka akèh pralambang kang makili “raja sisih lor” rohani ing dina-dina wekasan. Wong-wong Advent Hari Ketujuh, ngluwihi bangsa utawa golongan liya apa waé, kuduné mangerténi manawa salah siji saka struktur dhasar kang dadi landhesané ramalan yaiku pasulayan antarané Kristus lan Iblis. Kristus iku Raja sisih lor kang sejati, lan Iblis wis ngupaya ngetokaké dhiriné minangka raja sisih lor palsu.

> A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 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. Psalms 48:1–3.

> Kidung lan Jabur kanggo para putrané Korah. Agung iku Pangéran, lan pantes banget kapujia ana ing kutha Allah kita, ana ing gunung kasucèkané. Endah ing papane, kabungahaning saindenging bumi, iku Gunung Sion, ana ing sisih lor, kutha Sang Prabu Agung. Allah kawuningana ana ing kraton-kratoné minangka pangungsèn. Jabur 48:1–3.

Satan’s efforts to counterfeit the true King of the north, includes employing the pope of Rome as his earthly representative. Satan is antichrist, and so is the pope of Rome, who is Satan’s proxy in his work of deception.

Upaya Iblis kanggo niru Raja Lor sing sejati kalebu nggunakaké paus Roma minangka wakilé ing bumi. Iblis iku antikristus, lan paus Roma uga mangkono, yaiku minangka wakil Iblis ing pakaryané panyasatan.

> “To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.

> “Kanggo ngreksa kauntungan lan pakurmatan kadonyan, pasamuwan katuntun ngupaya sih-rahmat lan panyengkuyung saka para wong agung ing bumi; lan sarana mangkono, sawisé nampik Kristus, pasamuwan kabujuk supaya masrahaké kasetyan marang wakilé Iblis—uskup Roma.” The Great Controversy, 50.

In the breakup of Alexander the Great’s kingdom, Seleucus Nicator became the first king of the north in the history represented in Daniel chapter eleven. His father, Antiochus, had been an influential leader in Alexander’s kingdom, and his son, Seleucus, was made the satrap of Babylon. A “satrap” is a governor, and when Seleucus had secured three of the four geographical areas that Alexander’s kingdom divided into, he became the king of the north.

Nalika karajanipun Aleksander Agung pecah, Seleucus Nicator dados raja lor ingkang kapisan wonten ing sajarah ingkang kawejahi wonten ing Daniel pasal sewelas. Bapakipun, Antiokhus, sampun dados pamimpin ingkang gadhah pangaribawa wonten ing karajanipun Aleksander, lan putranipun, Seleucus, dipunangkat dados satrap Babil. “Satrap” punika gubernur, lan nalika Seleucus sampun ngreksa telu saking sekawan wilayah géografis ingkang dados pamecahanipun karajan Aleksander, piyambakipun lajeng dados raja lor.

Smith’s private interpretation and avoidance of grammatical rules led him to assume the final powers that made up Satan’s confederacy of evil in the last days were represented in prophecy as literal powers, not spiritual powers. Thus, he could not see that Seleucus Nicator as the first king of the north, the governor of Babylon, would of prophetic necessity represent the final spiritual king of the north who was the power that controlled modern spiritual Babylon.

Tafsiran pribadi Smith lan panyingkirané marang paugeran gramatika ndadèkaké dhèwèké nganggep yèn kakuwatan-kakuwatan pungkasan kang mbentuk pasamuwanan alaé Sétan ing dina-dina wekasan iku katuduhaké ing ramalan minangka kakuwatan harfiah, dudu kakuwatan rohani. Mulané, dhèwèké ora bisa nyumurupi yèn Seleucus Nicator minangka raja lor kang kapisan, gubernur Babilon, mesthiné miturut kabutuhan ramalan nglambangaké raja lor rohani pungkasan, yaiku kakuwatan kang nguwasani Babilon rohani modhèren.

> And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:1-6.

> Banjur ana salah siji saka pitu malaékat kang nyekel pitu bokor iku teka lan ngandika karo aku, pangandikané marang aku, “Mrenea mréné; aku bakal nedahaké marang kowé paukuman tumrap sundel gedhé kang lenggah ana ing sadhuwuring banyu akèh; kang karo dheweke para ratu ing bumi wis padha laku jina, lan para wong kang manggon ing bumi wis padha digawé mendem déning angguring jinaé.” Banjur aku digawa déning dhèwèké ana ing Roh menyang ara-ara samun; lan aku weruh ana wong wadon lenggah ing sadhuwuring kéwan galak warna abang semu, kebak jeneng-jeneng pitenah, nduwèni pitu sirah lan sapuluh sungu. Wong wadon iku ngagem sandhangan wungu lan abang semu, sarta dihias nganggo emas lan watu-watu aji lan mutiara, nyekel tuwung emas ana ing tangané kang kebak prekara-prekara nistha lan reregeding jinaé. Lan ana ing bathuké katulis siji jeneng, RAHASIA, BABILON SING AGUNG, IBUNÉ PARA SUNDHEL LAN PREKARA-PREKARA NISHTA ING BUMI. Lan aku weruh wong wadon iku mendem merga getihé para suci lan getihé para martiré Gusti Yésus; lan nalika aku weruh dheweke, aku gumun kalawan kaéraman gedhé. Wahyu 17:1-6.

The power that governs Babylon in the last days is the papal church, and she is therefore also the spiritual king of the north.

Panguwasa sing mrentah Babil ing dina-dina wekasan iku yaiku gréja papal, lan mulané dhèwèké uga dadi ratu sisih lor kasukman.

> “The woman (Babylon) of Revelation 17 is described as ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness:…and upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots.’ Says the prophet: ‘I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.’ Babylon is further declared to be ‘that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.’ Revelation 17:4-6, 18. The power that for so many centuries maintained despotic sway over the monarchs of Christendom is Rome. The purple and scarlet color, the gold and precious stones and pearls, vividly picture the magnificence and more than kingly pomp affected by the haughty see of Rome. And no other power could be so truly declared ‘drunken with the blood of the saints’ as that church which has so cruelly persecuted the followers of Christ. Babylon is also charged with the sin of unlawful connection with ‘the kings of the earth.’ It was by departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot; and Rome, corrupting herself in like manner by seeking the support of worldly powers, receives a like condemnation.” The Great Controversy, 382.

> “Wadon (Babil) ing Wahyu 17 katrangané mangkéné: ‘ngagem wungu lan abang scarlet, sarta kapapag nganggo emas lan watu aji lan mutiara, nyekel tuwung emas ana ing tangane kang kebak kanisthan lan regedan: … lan ana ing bathuke katulis jeneng, Rahasia, Babil Agung, biyangé para sundel.’ Pangandikané nabi: ‘Aku weruh wong wadon iku mendem marga getihé para suci, lan marga getihé para martiré Gusti Yésus.’ Babil banjur maneh katetepaké dadi ‘kutha gedhé iku, kang mrentah para ratu ing bumi.’ Wahyu 17:4-6, 18. Kuwasa kang sajroning pirang-pirang abad njaga panguwasa despotis marang para ratu ing jagad Kristen iku yaiku Roma. Warna wungu lan abang scarlet, emas lan watu aji lan mutiara, kanthi cetha nggambaraké kamulyan lan kaagungan kang ngluwihi kamulyan ratu kang dipameraké déning tahta Roma kang gumunggung. Lan ora ana kuwasa liyané kang bisa kanthi samesthiné kasebut ‘mendem marga getihé para suci’ kajaba pasamuwan iku, kang kanthi kejem banget nganiaya para pandhèrèké Kristus. Babil uga didakwa awit dosa sesambungan kang tanpa hak karo ‘para ratu ing bumi.’ Lumantar nyingkur saka Pangéran lan gawé aliansi karo para kapir, pasamuwan Yahudi dadi sundel; lan Roma, ngrusak awaké dhéwé kanthi cara kang padha amarga ngupaya panyengkuyungé kuwasa-kuwasa kadonyan, nampa paukuman kang padha.” The Great Controversy, 382.

The governor is the king, and according to Isaiah, a king is a kingdom and is also the capital city of a kingdom.

Sang gubernur iku raja, lan miturut Yesaya, raja iku sawijining karajan lan uga kutha krajaning sawijining karajan.

> For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.

> Awit sirahé Siria iku Damsyik, lan sirahé Damsyik iku Rezin; lan sajroning sawidak lima taun Éfraim bakal diremuk, nganti ora dadi bangsa manèh. Lan sirahé Éfraim iku Samaria, lan sirahé Samaria iku anaké Remalya. Manawa kowé padha ora pracaya, mesthi kowé ora bakal diteguhaké. Yesaya 7:8, 9.

According to the witness of Isaiah, a student of prophecy who awakens in July of 2023 to a prophetic testing process must recognize the prophetic symbolism of the “head” if he wishes to be established. If he doesn’t recognize and apply the symbolism of a “head” when called for, then he is not established. Those who disbelieve are not established, and therefore Isaiah is identifying two classes of worshippers in the last days who either are established or are not established. They are the same two classes who either have the “oil,” or they don’t have the “oil.”

Miturut paseksèné Yesaya, sawijining murid babagan ramalan sing tangi ing sasi Juli 2023 tumuju marang sawijining prosès panggodhèn kenabian kudu mangertèni pralambang kenabian saka “sirah” manawa dhèwèké kepéngin diteguhaké. Manawa dhèwèké ora mangertèni lan ngetrapaké pralambang saka sawijining “sirah” nalika iku katimbalan, mula dhèwèké ora diteguhaké. Wong-wong kang ora pracaya iku ora diteguhaké, lan mulané Yesaya lagi mratélakaké ana rong golongan para panyembah ing dina-dina wekasan kang salah siji diteguhaké utawa ora diteguhaké. Iku padha karo rong golongan sing salah siji nduwèni “lenga,” utawa padha ora nduwèni “lenga.”

One class that is established and has oil, receives the message of the Midnight Cry that began to be opened up in July of 2023, or they receive the strong delusion of Second Thessalonians. Their test is the formation of the image of the beast, and the way in which the beast is formed, whether the papal beast of the Dark Ages, or its image that is formed by the United States, or the threefold union that leads the world to Armageddon. This includes the necessity of recognizing that the “head,” the “king” the ruler of the other two powers that make up the threefold union, is the papal power.

Siji golongan sing mapan lan nduwèni lenga, nampa piwulang Pambengoking Tengah Wengi sing wiwit kababar ing sasi Juli 2023, utawa padha nampa panglinga kang rosa saka Second Thessalonians. Ujiané iku pambentukaning gambaring kéwan, lan cara ing ngendi kéwan iku kabentuk, apa kéwan kapausan ing Jaman Peteng, utawa gambaré sing kabentuk déning Amérika Sarékat, utawa paséwakan telu prakara sing nuntun jagad marang Armageddon. Iki kalebu kabutuhan kanggo ngakoni yèn “sirah,” “raja,” panguwasa saka loro kakuwasan liyané sing mbentuk paséwakan telu prakara iku, yaiku kakuwatan kapausan.

The “head,” the capital city of Judah was Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose to place His name.

“Sirah,” yaiku kutha krajané Yehuda, ya iku Yerusalem, kutha sing dipilih déning Pangéran kanggo mapanaké asmane ana ing kono.

> And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 1 Kings 14:21.

> Lan Réhabeam, putrané Suléman, jumeneng ratu ing Yehuda. Réhabeam umur patang puluh siji taun nalika wiwit jumeneng ratu, lan panjenengané mrentah pitulas taun ing Yérusalèm, kutha kang wus kapilih déning Pangéran saka sakèhé taler Israèl kanggo nempataké asmané ana ing kono. Lan asmane ibuné yaiku Naama, wong wadon Amon. 1 Para Raja 14:21.

In the great controversy between Christ and Satan, Christ’s capital city, where He places His name, is Jerusalem, and Satan’s counterfeit was the literal city of Babylon that represents spiritual Babylon that great city in the last days. Satan places his name upon the head as a counterfeit of God’s city and capitol. The king that resides there is the mother of harlots who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The mother of harlots is the papal power, and her daughters are the fallen Protestant churches, of which the premier fallen apostate church is the apostate Protestants of the United States.

Ing pasulayan agung antarané Kristus lan Sétan, kutha krajané Kristus, papan Panjenengané maringi asmane, yaiku Yérusalèm, lan tironé Sétan yaiku kutha Babul sajatiné sing makili Babul rohani, kutha gedhé iku ing dina-dina pungkasan. Sétan nempataké asmane ing bathuk minangka tiron saka kutha lan krajané Allah. Raja sing manggon ana ing kono yaiku ibu para wanita palanyahan, kang nindakaké jina karo para raja ing bumi. Ibu para wanita palanyahan iku yaiku kakuwasan kepausan, lan para putriné yaiku gréja-gréja Protestan sing wis ambruk, ing antarané kang utama saka gréja murtad sing wis ambruk iku yaiku para Protestan murtad saka Amérika Sarékat.

Those apostate Protestants represent the Protestant horn of the earth beast, and they are connected with their mother since their rejection of the prophetic message that was unsealed in 1798. Their counterpart, the Republican horn, is connected with the kings of the earth through their relationship with the United Nations, the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The threefold union which leads the world to Armageddon is represented by its head, where its name is placed, and spiritual modern Rome is spiritual modern Babylon. Its “head” is the papal power.

Para Protestan murtad mau nggambarake sungu Protestan saka kéwan bumi, lan padha kagandhèng karo biyungé awit padha nampik marang piwulang kenabian sing kawedhar sawisé segelé kabukak ing taun 1798. Pasangané, yaiku sungu Republik, kagandhèng karo para ratu ing bumi lumantar sesambungané karo Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, yaiku sepuluh ratu ing Wahyu pitulas. Uni telu-lapis sing nuntun jagad marang Armagedon digambarake déning sirahé, ing kono asmané dipasang, lan Roma modern kasukman iku Babil modern kasukman. “Sirah”-é iku kakuwasan kapausan.

The first represents the last and whether you apply Daniel chapter two as did the Millerites, as representing four kingdoms, or as has been opened up in the last days as representing eight kingdoms, the first kingdom was literal Babylon. The Millerites would inform you the last was literal Rome. Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols, for they are the first and the last of a prophetic line.

Kang kapisan makili kang pungkasan, lan manawa panjenengan ngetrapake Daniel bab loro kaya sing ditindakake dening para Millerit, yaiku makili papat karajan, utawa kaya sing wis kabukak ing dina-dina pungkasan minangka makili wolung karajan, karajan kang kapisan iku Babel harfiah. Para Millerit bakal ngandhani panjenengan manawa kang pungkasan iku Roma harfiah. Babel lan Roma iku pralambang sing bisa silih ganteni, awit kaloroné iku kang kapisan lan kang pungkasan saka sawijining garis kenabian.

In the last days the first kingdom of literal Babylon represents the eighth and last kingdom which is spiritual modern Babylon, and is also spiritual modern Rome. Upon the two witnesses represented in Daniel chapter two Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols.

Ing dina-dina pungkasan, karajan Babilon harfiah kang kapisan nggambarake karajan kang kawolu lan kang pungkasan, yaiku Babilon modern rohani, lan uga Roma modern rohani. Ing ngarepé loro seksi kang diwakili ing Daniel bab loro, Babilon lan Roma iku pralambang kang bisa dipertukaraké.

When the papal whore is portrayed with a name on her forehead that identifies “Mystery Babylon,” it is also identifying “mystery Rome.” A prophetic “mystery” represents a truth that is so profound that it is impossible to understand the depth of the truth represented therein, especially without the influence of the Holy Spirit. But a biblical “mystery” also demands that what is revealed in connection with the mystery is a required understanding for those who seek to pass the test. This is why two witnesses in Revelation emphasize the need to understand modern Rome.

Nalika sundel paus digambarake kanthi asmane ana ing bathuke sing nedahake “Babil sing Rahasia,” iku uga nedahake “Roma sing rahasia.” “Rahasia” nabi nglambangake sawijining kayekten sing jero banget nganti ora bisa dimangerteni sajroning ambane kayekten sing kaawakake ana ing kono, mligine tanpa pangaribawane Roh Suci. Nanging “rahasia” miturut Kitab Suci uga nuntut manawa apa kang kaandharake gegayutan karo rahasia iku dadi pangerten kang wajib tumrap wong-wong sing ngupaya supaya bisa ngliwati pacoban. Mulané, loro seksi ing Kitab Wahyu negesake kabutuhan kanggo mangerteni Roma modern.

> 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.

> Iki kawicaksanan. Sing sapa nduwèni pangerten, cacahe kéwan iku kaétungana; amarga iku cacahe manungsa; lan cacahe iku nem atus sawidak enem. Wahyu 13:18.

“Wisdom” understands the number of the beast, which is the number of a man whose number is six, six, six. The “man of sin” is the head of the beast. Wisdom is an attribute of the wise virgins in the last days, and it is also a symbol of those who understand the increase of knowledge in the last days. Those who do not understand are foolish virgins and are the wicked. The “wisdom” they do not understand must of prophetic necessity be in the context of the final prophetic test, for this is when the wise and foolish virgins exist. They must understand “six, six, six.” The mind that has wisdom is also located by John in the last days in Revelation chapter seventeen.

“Hikmat” mangertosi wilanganing kéwan galak iku, yaiku wilanganing manungsa kang wilangané nem, nem, nem. “Wong dosa” iku sirahé kéwan galak mau. Hikmat iku sawijining sipat saka para prawan wicaksana ing dina-dina pungkasan, lan uga dadi pralambang tumrap wong-wong kang mangertosi tambahing kawruh ing dina-dina pungkasan. Wong-wong kang ora mangertosi iku para prawan bodho lan padha dadi wong duraka. “Hikmat” kang ora padha mangertosi iku, manut kabutuhan sunnat nabi, mesthi ana ing konteksing ujian kenabian pungkasan, awit ing wektu iki para prawan wicaksana lan para prawan bodho iku ana. Padha kudu mangertosi “nem, nem, nem.” Pikiran kang nduwèni hikmat uga dipapanaké déning Yohanes ing dina-dina pungkasan ing Wahyu pasal pitulas.

> And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 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. Revelation 17:9–11.

> Lan iki pangertèn kang nduwèni kawicaksanan. Pitu endhas iku pitu gunung, kang ing dhuwuré wong wadon iku lenggah. Lan ana pitu raja: lima wus ambruk, lan siji ana, lan sijiné durung teka; lan samangsa dhèwèké teka, dhèwèké kudu tetep sawatara mangsa cekak. Lan kéwan galak kang biyèn ana, lan saiki ora ana, iya dhèwèké iku kang kawolu, lan kalebu saka kang pitu, lan lunga marang karusakan. Wahyu 17:9–11.

The “mind” that has the wisdom to understand the number “six, six, six,” is a wise virgin who has obtained the “mind of Christ.”

“Pikiran” kang nduwèni kawicaksanan kanggo mangertèni cacah “nem, nem, nem,” iku prawan wicaksana kang wis nampa “pikirané Kristus.”

> For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.

> Sapa ta kang wus wanuh marang panggalihé Gusti, nganti bisa mulang Panjenengané? Nanging kita duwe panggalihé Kristus. 1 Korinta 2:16.

The class of wise virgins have the mind of Christ, and the foolish wicked virgins have the mind of Christ’s adversary.

Golongan para prawan wicaksana gadhah pikiranipun Kristus, dene para prawan bodho lan duraka gadhah pikiranipun satrunipun Kristus.

> “The time has come for the true light to shine amid moral darkness. The third angel’s message has been sent forth to the world, warning men against receiving the mark of the beast or of his image in their foreheads or in their hands. To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.

> “Wektuné wis teka supaya pepadhang kang sejati madhangi ana ing satengahing pepetenging moral. Pawarta malaékat katelu wis diutus metu marang jagad, ngélingaké manungsa supaya aja nampani tandha kéwan galak utawa recané ing bathuké utawa ing tangané. Nampani tandha iki tegesé tekan marang putusan sing padha kaya sing wis ditindakaké déning kéwan galak iku, lan mbéla gagasan-gagasan sing padha, kanthi panentangan langsung marang pangandikané Allah.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.

The formation of the image of the beast is the final test for the virgins of the parable, and the wise have the mind of Christ, for they have come to the same decision as Christ, for they have submitted their wills unto the Holy Spirit’s direction. The formation of the image of Christ in the wise virgins contrasts with the formation of the image of the beast in the foolish virgins. The foolish virgins come to the same decision as the beast, for they became confused upon the test question concerning the correct identification of the antichrist, who is the counterfeit king of the north and the head of modern Rome.

Pambentukan gambaring kéwan iku minangka ujian pungkasan tumrap para prawan ing pasemon iku, lan para prawan kang wicaksana nduwèni pikirané Kristus, awit padha wis tumeka marang putusan kang padha karo Kristus, amarga padha wis nyerahaké karsané marang pituduhing Roh Suci. Pambentukan gambaré Kristus ana ing para prawan kang wicaksana iku mbandhingi pambentukan gambaring kéwan ana ing para prawan kang bodho. Para prawan kang bodho tumeka marang putusan kang padha karo kéwan iku, awit padha dadi bingung nalika ngadhepi pitakon ujian ngenani pangenalan kang bener bab antikristus, kang iku ratu lor palsu lan sirahing Roma modern.

> “Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.

> “Wong-wong kang dadi bingung ing pangertèné bab Sabda, kang ora bisa nyumurupi tegesé antikristus, mesthi bakal nempataké awaké dhéwé ana ing sisihé antikristus.” Kress Collection, 105.

The foolish virgins in the testing time that is represented as the formation of the image of the beast become confused in their understanding of the word. Their confusion is premised upon misunderstanding God’s prophetic word, and failing to see the correct meaning of Modern Rome, they receive strong delusion, come to the same decision as the beast, and advocate the same papal ideas in direct opposition to the word of God, and place themselves on the side of antichrist.

Para prawan kang bodho ing mangsa pangujian kang dipralambangaké minangka pambentukané gambar kéwan iku dadi bingung ing pangertené marang pangandika. Kabingungané iku dhedhasar salah paham marang pangandika pepadanging Allah, lan amarga padha gagal ndeleng teges kang bener saka Roma Modern, wong-wong iku nampa kasasaran kang kuwat, tumeka ing putusan kang padha karo kéwan iku, lan nyengkuyung pamanggih-pamanggih kepausan kang padha, kanthi pasulayan langsung marang pangandika Allah, sarta nyelehake awaké dhéwé ana ing sisih antikristus.
