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.

Hashingiwe ku buhamya bwinshi ko mu mateka no mu buhanuzi Roma ihora iza ku mwanya wa munani kandi ikaba ari iyo muri izo ndwi. Igisakuzo cy’ubuhanuzi cy’iki kimenyetso ni kimwe mu byo Intare yo mu muryango wa Yuda ihishura mbere gato y’iherezo ry’igihe cy’ubuntu. Kristo ntajya ahinduka, kandi mu Gutenguha kwa Mbere no Gukomeye ko mu mateka y’Abamilerite, yahishuye ukuri kwasobanuye ubwiru bw’ugutenguha.

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.

Nyuma yo Gucika Intege kwa Mbere mu mateka y’Abamilerite, yakuyeho ukuboko Kwe ku ikosa ryari muri zimwe mu mibare yari igaragajwe ku mbonerahamwe ya 1843. Iryo kosa ryagereranyaga ukutumva neza ubuhanuzi kwateje uko Gucika Intege. Amaherezo Abamilerite bayobowe kugera ku ruhererekane rw’imyumvire, rwashyizeho mu buryo budashidikanywaho itariki itangiriraho y’iminsi ibihumbi bibiri na magana atatu. Bamaze kugira aho bahera hafashe neza, ahanini hishingiye ku itariki y’umusaraba, babonye ko ibihamya by’ubuhanuzi bimwe bari barakoresheje mu kugaragaza 1843, mu by’ukuri byagaragazaga atari 1844 gusa, ahubwo n’umunsi nyir’izina wa 22 Ukwakira 1844.

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.

Nyuma yo Gucika Intege kwa kabiri n’ukw’Ikomeye, Umwami yongeye guhishura ukuri kwasubije ibisubizo ku ngorane zose z’ubuhanuzi zari zaratewe n’itangazo ryabo ritari ryo rivuga ko tariki ya 22 Ukwakira 1844 ari yo yari Ukuza kwa Kabiri kwa Kristo. Umwami yahishuye ingingo y’Ubuturo Bwera, n’ukuri kubuherekeza, maze Gucika Intege Gukomeye kurasobanurwa.

> “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.’

> “Nka bw’abantu, dukwiriye kuba abigishwa b’ubuhanuzi b’abanyamwete; ntidukwiriye kuruhuka kugeza ubwo dusobanukiwe neza ibyerekeye ingingo y’ubuturo bwera, yashyizwe ahagaragara mu byerekanywe Daniyeli na Yohana. Iyi ngingo imurikira cyane aho duhagaze ubu n’umurimo wacu, kandi ikaduha igihamya kidashidikanywaho cy’uko Imana yatuyoboye mu byo twanyuzemo mbere. Isobanura ugutenguha kwacu ko mu mwaka wa 1844, ikatwereka ko ubuturo bwera bwagombaga kwezwa butari isi, nk’uko twari twabitekereje, ahubwo ko icyo gihe Kristo yinjiye Ahera Cyane h’ubuturo bwera bwo mu ijuru, kandi ko ari ho arimo akora umurimo usoza w’ubutambyi bwe, mu gusohoza amagambo y’umumarayika yabwiye umuhanuzi Daniyeli ati: ‘Kugeza ku minsi ibihumbi bibiri na magana atatu; ni bwo ubuturo bwera buzahumanurwa.’”

> “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.

> “Ukwizera kwacu ku byerekeye ubutumwa bw’abamarayika ba mbere, aba kabiri, n’aba gatatu kwari ukwo. Ibirango bikomeye by’inzira twanyuzemo ntibishobora kwimurwa. Nubwo imitwe y’ingabo z’ikuzimu yagerageza kubikura ku rufatiro rwabyo, kandi ikanezererwa yibwira ko yabigezeho, nyamara ntibibasha kubigeraho. Izi nkingi z’ukuri zihagaze zishikamye nk’imisozi y’iteka ryose, zitanyeganyezwa n’imbaraga zose z’abantu zifatanyije n’iza Satani n’ingabo ze. Hari byinshi dushobora kwiga, kandi dukwiriye guhora dusaka Ibyanditswe Byera kugira ngo turebe niba ibyo bintu ari ko biri. Ubu abantu b’Imana bakwiriye guhanga amaso ku buturo bwera bwo mu ijuru, aho umurimo wa nyuma w’ubutambyi bw’Umutambyi Mukuru wacu ukomeye mu murimo w’urubanza uri gukorwa,—aho aduhagararira imbere y’Imana ku bw’ubwoko bwe.” 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.

Gucika intege kw’abigishwa igihe cyo kubambwa kwa Kristo kwari gushingiye ku gusobanukirwa kutari ko ubwami Kristo yagombaga gushinga ku musaraba. Umurimo wa Yohana Umubatiza n’uwa Pawulo intumwa warimo no kugaragaza ko ingoma ya Isirayeli nyakuri n’iy’urusengero rw’isi nyakuri byari byaramaze kwimukira kuri Isirayeli yo mu mwuka no ku rusengero rwo mu ijuru rwo mu mwuka. Intare yo mu muryango wa Yuda ihora isobanurira “abanyabwenge” igitera gucika intege. Ibisobanuro by’ikigereranyo cy’ubuhanuzi kivuga ko Roma ari “iya munani, nyamara ikaba ari iyo muri zirindwi,” ni kimwe mu bigize umurimo Intare ya Yuda iri gukora wo gusobanura gucika intege kwabaye ku wa 18 Nyakanga 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.

Abami ba Milleri babonye Roma nk’ubwami bwa kane bw’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya, kandi babonye itandukaniro riri hagati y’ubupagani n’ubupapa, ariko ntibashoboye kubona Roma y’ubupapa nk’ubwami bwa gatanu bw’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya. Nyuma gato ya 1844, abapayoniya babonye ko Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika ari bwo bwami bwakurikiyeho mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya.

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.

Uko kwemera kwagaragajwe ku mbonerahamwe y’abapayoniya yo mu 1850, ariko ubushobozi bwabo bwo kumenya byuzuye ishusho y’ubugereranyo bw’ubwami bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya, nk’uko bigaragazwa mu Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na karindwi, bwari burenze ibyo bashoboraga gusobanukirwa, kuko batangiye kuzerera mu butayu bwa Lawodikiya nyuma yo kwanga “ibihe birindwi” mu 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.

> “Amateka ya Isirayeli ya kera ni urugero rukomeye rugaragaza ibyabaye mu gihe cyahise ku mutwe w’Abadiventisiti. Imana yayoboye ubwoko bwayo mu rugendo rw’ukugaruka kwa Kristo, nk’uko yayoboye abana ba Isirayeli ibakuye muri Egiputa. Mu gutenguhwa gukomeye ukwizera kwabo kwageragejwe nk’uko kw’Abaheburayo kwageragejwe ku Nyanja Itukura. Iyo baza kuba barakomeje kwiringira ukuboko kwabayoboraga kwari kwabanye na bo mu byababayeho mbere, baba barabonye agakiza k’Imana. Iyo abari barakoze bafatanyije muri uwo murimo mu 1844 bose baza kuba baremeye ubutumwa bw’umumarayika wa gatatu kandi bakabwamamaza mu mbaraga z’Umwuka Wera, Umwami aba yarakoreye cyane mu mihati yabo. Umucyo mwinshi wari kuba waramuritswe ku isi. Kera cyane abatuye isi baba baraburiwe, umurimo wa nyuma ukarangira, kandi Kristo aba yaraje gucungura ubwoko bwe.”

> “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.

> “Ntabwo yari ubushake bw’Imana ko Isirayeli izerera imyaka mirongo ine mu butayu; yashakaga kubayobora ako kanya kubageza mu gihugu cy’i Kanani no kuhatuza, bakaba ubwoko bwera, bwuzuye ibyishimo. Ariko ‘ntibashoboye kukinjiramo bitewe no kutizera.’ Abaheburayo 3:19. Kubera gusubira inyuma kwabo no kugomera Imana, barimbukiye mu butayu, maze hahagurutswa abandi kugira ngo binjire mu Gihugu cy’Isezerano. Ni ko byagenze no ku kuza kwa Kristo: ntibyari ubushake bw’Imana ko gutinda kwayo kuba kurekure gutyo, kandi ko ubwoko bwayo bukomeza kumara imyaka myinshi muri iyi si y’icyaha n’agahinda. Ariko kutizera kwabashyize kure y’Imana. Kubera ko banze gukora umurimo yari yarabashinze, hahagurutswa abandi kugira ngo bamamaze ubutumwa. Kubera imbabazi afitiye abari mu isi, Yesu aratinda kuza kwayo, kugira ngo abanyabyaha babone uburyo bwo kumva umuburo no kubona muri We ubwihisho mbere y’uko umujinya w’Imana usesekazwa.” Intambara Ikomeye, 458.

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.

Yakobo na Ellen White bombi bagaragaje ko uwo murimo wari warahindutse ugahinduka umurimo wa Lawodikiya mu mwaka wa 1856, kandi mu gice kibanziriza iki agaragaza ko “iyo abari barakoreye hamwe mu murimo mu 1844 bose baza kwakira ubutumwa bw’umumarayika wa gatatu bakabwamamaza mu mbaraga z’Umwuka Wera, Uwiteka aba yarakoranye imbaraga nyinshi n’umuhati wabo.” Hanyuma aravuga ati, “Mu buryo nk’ubwo,” “gusubira inyuma no kureka ukwizera” byagaragajwe na Isirayeli ya kera, byatumye Isirayeli ya kera “irimbukira mu butayu.” Icyo gice kigaragaza ko U-Adiventisime wa Lawodikiya watangiye kuzerera mu butayu mu gihe abo bari baramamaje ubutumwa bw’Induru yo mu Gicuku bari bakiriho.

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.

Uyu munsi abahanga mu bya tewolojiya (abize) bagena uburyo bunyuranye bwo gusobanura Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na karindwi, bukaba bushingiye ku buryo bw’imyumvire y’ahazaza bwahimbwe n’Abayezuwiti, cyangwa ku mikorere ya tewolojiya yononekaye y’Ubugiprotestanti bwahakanye ukwizera. Ibimenyetso byo mu Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na karindwi biroroshye cyane. Twamaze kugaragaza ibimenyetso bya ngombwa, bityo tuzagaruka ku bwami buhagarariwe aho maze tubuhuza n’ubwami bwo muri Daniyeli igice cya kabiri, kuko buri gihe Yesu agaragaza iherezo ry’ikintu ahereye ku ntangiriro yacyo.

> 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.

> Kandi hariho abami barindwi: batanu baraguye, umwe arahari, undi ntaraza; kandi niyaza, akwiriye kugumaho igihe gito. Kandi ya nyamaswa yariho, ariko ikaba itakiriho, ni yo mwami wa munani, kandi akomoka muri abo barindwi, kandi ajya mu kurimbuka. Kandi za mahembe icumi wabonye ni abami icumi, batarahabwa ubwami; ahubwo bahabwa ubutware nk’abami isaha imwe hamwe na ya nyamaswa. Ibyahishuwe 17:10–12.

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.

Mu murongo wa gatatu, Yohana yimuriwe mu buryo bw’Umwuka agezwa mu mwaka wa 1798. Aho yari ahagaze muri icyo gihe cy’amateka, yabwiwe ko hariho ubwami butanu bwari bwaraguye. Ubwo bwami bwari Babuloni, Abamedi n’Abaperesi, Ubugiriki, Roma ya gipagani na Roma ya gipapa. William Miller ntiyashoboye gusobanukirwa n’uyu murongo wo mu gice cya cumi na karindwi, kuko atashoboye kumenya ko Roma ya gipapa yari ubwami butandukanye na Roma ya gipagani. Nyamara, urukurikirane rwabyo rugaragazwa mu gice cya cumi na kabiri n’icya cumi na gatatu by’Ibyahishuwe, kuko cya kiyoka cyo mu gice cya cumi na kabiri cyashushanyaga Roma ya gipagani, inyamaswa yazamutse iva mu nyanja yo mu gice cya cumi na gatatu yari ubupapa, kandi inyamaswa yo ku butaka ni Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika. Mushiki wacu White aranga izo nyamaswa zose uko ari eshatu nk’ikiyoka, inyamaswa n’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma. Mu gutanga ubuhamya bwe, aranga urukurikirane rw’ubwo bwami, kandi urwo rukurikirane ruhura n’uko turimo gukoresha Ibyahishuwe cumi na karindwi.

> “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.’

> “Munsi y’ibimenyetso by’igisato kinini gitukura, inyamaswa imeze nk’ingwe, n’inyamaswa ifite amahembe asa n’ay’umwana w’intama, Yohana yeretswe ubutegetsi bwo ku isi bwari kuzagira uruhare by’umwihariko mu gukandagira amategeko y’Imana no gutoteza ubwoko bwayo. Intambara ikomeza kurwana kugeza ku mperuka y’igihe. Ubwoko bw’Imana, bwagereranyijwe n’umugore wera n’abana be, bwerekanywe ko ari bake cyane. Mu minsi y’imperuka hasigaye gusa abasigayeho. Abo ni bo Yohana avuga ko ari ‘abitondera amategeko y’Imana kandi bafite ubuhamya bwa Yesu Kristo.’”

> “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.

> “Binyuze mu bapagani, hanyuma binyuze mu Bupapa, Satani yakoresheje ububasha bwe mu binyejana byinshi agamije guhanagura ku isi abahamya b’Imana b’indahemuka. Abapagani n’abapapiste bayoborwaga n’umwuka umwe w’ikiyoka. Batandukanywaga gusa n’uko Bupapa, bwiyitirira gukorera Imana, bwari umwanzi urushijeho guteza akaga no kugira ubugome. Binyuze mu buyobozi bwa Romanisimu, Satani yajyanye isi yose mu bunyage. Itorero ry’Imana ryitwaga iryayo ryinjijwe mu mirongo y’uku kuyoba, maze mu gihe kirenga imyaka igihumbi ubwoko bw’Imana bubabarizwa n’umujinya w’ikiyoka. Kandi ubwo Bupapa, bwambuwe imbaraga zabwo, bwahatirwaga guhagarika gutoteza, Yohana yabonye ubundi butegetsi buzamuka kugira ngo busubiremo ijwi ry’ikiyoka, kandi bukomeze uwo murimo umwe w’ubugome n’uw’ugutuka Imana. Ubu butegetsi, ari bwo bwa nyuma buzagaba intambara ku itorero no ku mategeko by’Imana, bwashushanyijwe n’inyamaswa ifite amahembe nk’ay’umwana w’intama.”

> “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.

> “Ariko ishusho ikarishye y’igikaramu cy’ubuhanuzi igaragaza ihinduka muri iyi mimerere y’amahoro. Inyamaswa ifite amahembe asa n’ay’umwana w’intama ivuga n’ijwi ry’ikiyoka, kandi ‘ikoresha ubutware bwose bw’inyamaswa ya mbere imbere yayo.’ Ubuhanuzi butangaza yuko izabwira abatuye isi gukora ishusho y’inyamaswa, kandi yuko “itegeka bose, abato n’abakuru, abakire n’abakene, ab’umudendezo n’ab’imbata, gushyirwaho ikimenyetso ku kuboko kwabo kw’iburyo cyangwa ku ruhanga rwabo; kandi ko hatagira umuntu ushobora kugura cyangwa kugurisha, keretse ufite ikimenyetso, cyangwa izina ry’inyamaswa, cyangwa umubare w’izina ryayo.” Bityo Ubuporotesitanti bukurikira mu ntambwe z’Ubupapa.” Signs of the Times, 1 Ugushyingo 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.”

Mu gika cya mbere cy’umurongo wa nyuma, Mushiki wa White agaragaza Roma ya gipagani, Roma ya gipapa, na Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika nk’“ubutegetsi bwo ku isi.” Mu gika cya kabiri agaragaza ko ubwo butegetsi bwakurikiranye, igihe avuga ati, “binyuze mu gipagani, hanyuma binyuze mu Bupapa,” kandi ati, “igihe Bupapa, bwambuwe imbaraga zabwo, bwahatirwaga guhagarika gutoteza, Yohana yabonye ububasha bushya buzamuka kugira ngo bwumvikanishe ijwi ry’ikiyoka, kandi bukomeze uwo murimo umwe w’ubugome n’uw’ibitutsi ku Mana.” Ariko ntahagararira aho, kuko mu gika cya gatatu agaragaza ko Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika zagombaga guhatira isi yose kwakira ubundi bwami. Aravuga ati, “Inyamanswa ifite amahembe ameze nk’ay’umwana w’intama ivuga n’ijwi ry’ikiyoka, kandi ‘ikoresha ububasha bwose bw’inyamanswa ya mbere imbere yayo.’ Ubuhanuzi butangaza ko izabwira abatuye isi gukora igishushanyo cy’inyamanswa.”

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.

Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na kabiri n’icya cumi na gatatu, hagaragaza Roma ya gipagani, Roma ya gipaapa, Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika n’igishushanyo cy’inyamaswa cyashyizweho na Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika. Igisobanuro cy’“igishushanyo cy’inyamaswa” ni uguhuriza hamwe Itorero na Leta; kandi kugira ngo isi yose ishyireho igishushanyo cy’inyamaswa, nk’uko bisobanurwa n’iryo jambo ubwaryo, bigaragaza ko mu minsi ya nyuma ubutegetsi bw’isi yose buzahatirwa isi yose. Ubwo bwami buzaba bugizwe na Leta n’Itorero, Itorero rikagenga uwo mubano. Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na kabiri n’icya cumi na gatatu, hagaragaza ubwami bune bukurikirana, kandi ubwo bwami ni bwo na none bugaragazwa mu gice cya cumi na karindwi, ndetse no muri Daniyeli igice cya kabiri.

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.

Mu mwaka wa 1798, Yohana yabonye ko ubwami butanu bwa mbere bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya bwari bwaraguye, kandi ko muri 1798 hariho ubwami bumwe bwariho icyo gihe. Ubwami bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya bwatangiye mu 1798 bwari inyamaswa yo ku isi yo mu Ibyahishuwe cumi na bitatu, yatangiye imeze nk’umwana w’intama, ariko ikaza kurangira ivuga nk’ikiyoka. Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika ni bwo bwami bwa gatandatu bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya bufite amahembe abiri, bukurikiye ubwami bwa gatanu bwa Babuloni bw’umwuka bwari bwakomeretse igikomere cyica. Ubwami bwa gatanu bwari Babuloni bw’umwuka, bwari bwaragereranyijwe n’ubwami bwa mbere bwa Babuloni nyakuri. Ubwami bwa gatandatu bufite amahembe abiri bwari bwaragereranyijwe n’amaboko abiri y’ifeza.

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.

Mu wa 1798, hagombaga kubaho ubwami bwari bukiri ubwo mu gihe kizaza, kuko mu wa 1798, “ubundi ntiburaza kuza.” Igihe ubwo bwami bwa karindwi bwazaga mu mateka, bwagombaga gusa “kumara igihe gito.” Ubwami bwa gatanu bwakomeretse uruguma rwica, ubwami bwa gatandatu bwari bufite amahembe abiri, kandi ubwami bwa karindwi bumara gusa igihe kigufi cyane. Imiterere y’uyu murongo igaragaza ko ubwami bwa karindwi bugereranywa n’“abami icumi,” kuko igihe “abami icumi” bahindukaga ubwami, bategekaga gusa “isaha imwe,” kandi “isaha” imwe ni “igihe” kigufi. Igihe “abami icumi” bategekaga, bategekanyaga hamwe mu “isaha imwe” n’inyamaswa.

> 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.

> Kandi amahembe cumi wabonye ni abami cumi, bataraba bagira ubwami; ahubwo bahabwa ubutware nk’abami isaha imwe hamwe n’inyamaswa. Ibyahishuwe 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.

“Amahembe icumi” ni ubwami bwa karindwi, ariko butegekana n’inyamaswa mu gihe cy’“isaha imwe”. Iyo “saha imwe” ni igihe cy’ikibazo cy’itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru gitangirira ku itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika. Bemera gutegekana n’inyamaswa, kuko bihatirwa n’umwami mukuru, ari we Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika. Mushiki wa White, mu gice twamaze kuvuga, agaragaza ko ububasha bwa nyuma buzarenganya ubwoko bw’Imana ari inyamaswa yo mu isi.

> “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.

> “Yohana yabonye ububasha bushya buzamuka kugira ngo busubiremo ijwi ry’ikiyoka, kandi bukomeze umurimo wa kinyamaswa umwe wo kugira ubugome no gutuka Imana. Ubu bubasha, ari bwo bwa nyuma buzarwanya itorero n’amategeko y’Imana, bwagereranyijwe n’inyamaswa ifite amahembe ameze nk’ay’umwana w’intama.” 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.

Ubwami bwa nyuma bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya buzanywa n’ubushukanyi bukorwa na Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, nk’Umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma. Ubu bwami bwatangiye nk’umwana w’intama mu mwaka wa 1798, ariko mu minsi y’imperuka buhatira isi kwemera ishusho y’inyamaswa ikwira isi yose, ari yo, uko bisobanurwa, ihuriro rya Kiliziya n’Igihugu, aho Kiliziya ari yo igenzura uwo mubano. Ubutegetsi bwanonosowe kandi bumenyekana nk’ihuriro ry’ibice bitatu.

> “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.

> “Abaporotesitanti bo muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika bazaba aba mbere mu kurambura amaboko yabo hakurya y’umworera kugira ngo bafate ikiganza cya Spiritisme; bazarenza hejuru y’ikuzimu kugira ngo bahane ibiganza n’ubutegetsi bwa Roma; kandi munsi y’umuyaga w’iri shyirahamwe ry’impande eshatu, iki gihugu kizakurikira mu ntambwe za Roma mu gukandagira uburenganzira bw’umutimanama.” 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.

Ubumwe bw’inshuro eshatu ni ubumwe bw’ikiyoka, n’inyamaswa n’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma, bo mu Ibyahishuwe cumi na bitandatu basohokera abami bo mu isi kandi bakayobora isi ku Harumagedoni.

> 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.

> Nuko mbona imyuka itatu ihumanye imeze nk’ibikeri isohoka mu kanwa k’ikiyoka, no mu kanwa ka ya nyamaswa, no mu kanwa k’uwo muhanuzi w’ibinyoma. Kuko ari imyuka y’abadayimoni ikora ibitangaza, ikajya ku bami bo mu isi no ku bo mu isi yose, kugira ngo ibakoranyirize hamwe ku rugamba rw’uwo munsi ukomeye w’Imana Ishoborabyose. Ibyahishuwe 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.

“Ubutegetsi bw’Abaroma” ni ubupapa, inyamaswa n’ubwami bwa gatanu bw’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya bwakomeretse uruguma rwica. “Abaporotesitanti” bahagarariye Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma, ubwami bwa gatandatu kandi bwa nyuma bw’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya. “Ubumarozi bw’imyuka” ni Umuryango w’Abibumbye, ikiyoka n’ubwami bwemera gutegeka isaha imwe hamwe n’inyamaswa. Ubumwe bw’izo eshatu busohora muri iyo “saha imwe” ari yo “saha” y’“umutingito ukomeye” wo mu Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na kimwe, ari byo tegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba.

> “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.

> “Binyuze mu itegeko rishyiraho ububasha bw’Ubupapa rinyuranyije n’amategeko y’Imana, igihugu cyacu kizitandukanya burundu no gukiranuka. Igihe Ubuporotesitanti buzambura ukuboko kwabwo bukambuka icyuho kugira ngo bufate ukuboko kw’ububasha bw’Abaroma, igihe buzarenza hejuru y’ikuzimu bugahuza ibiganza n’Ubupfumu, igihe, bitewe n’ingaruka z’ubu bumwe bw’inshuro eshatu, igihugu cyacu kizihakana buri hame ry’Itegeko Nshinga ryacyo nk’ubutegetsi bw’Abaporotesitanti n’ubwa repubulika, kandi kikagena uburyo bwo gukwirakwiza ibinyoma n’ubuyobe by’ubupapa, ni bwo tuzamenya ko igihe cyo gukora gutangaje kwa Satani kigeze kandi ko iherezo riri hafi.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

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.

Mu gice cya kabiri cya Daniyeli, Babuloni, ubwami bwa mbere bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya buhagarariwe n’umutwe w’izahabu, bugaragaza Babuloni ya mwuka, ubwami bwa gatanu bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya. Ubwami bubiri bw’Abamedi n’Abaperesi, ibitugu n’amaboko by’ifeza, ubwami bwa kabiri bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya muri Daniyeli 2, bugaragaza inyamaswa y’amahembe abiri iva mu isi, Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika, ubwami bwa gatandatu bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya. Umuringa w’icyo gishushanyo cyo muri Daniyeli 2, ugereranya Ubugiriki, ubwami bwa gatatu bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya, ugereranya Umuryango w’Abibumbye, umutwe wa karindwi ukomeza kumara “isaha imwe”, kandi wemera gufata umwanya mu bumwe bw’ibice bitatu bw’ikiyoka, inyamaswa n’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma.

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.

Ubwami bw’icyuma bwo muri Daniyeli igice cya kabiri, ari bwo bwami bwa kane bw’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya, bugereranya ubwami bwa munani, bukomoka kuri bwa burindwi. Roma ya gipagani nyakuri, ari bwo bwami bwa kane, igereranya Roma ya none, ari bwo bwami bwubakiye ku ihuriro ry’Itorero na Leta, kandi Itorero rikaba ari ryo ritegeka uwo mubano. Ubwo bwami ni ubw’inyabutatu mu miterere yabwo, kuko umwami mukuru wo muri “ba bami icumi” ari ubwami bwa gatandatu, ari bwo nyamaswa yo mu isi. Ubwami bwa gatandatu ni Ahabu, wari warashakanye na Yezebeli. Ubwami bwa gatandatu, iyo bugereranyijwe mu ihuriro ryabwo ry’inyabutatu, ni Roma ya none, yabanje kubanzirizwa n’ubwami bwa gatanu ari bwo Roma ya gipapa, na bwo bukaba bwarabanje kubanzirizwa n’ubwami bwa kane bwa Roma ya gipagani.

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.

Abamillerite babonaga Roma gusa nk’ubwami bwa kane kandi bwa nyuma. Basobanukiwe ko bwari bufite imiterere ebyiri, ariko ntibashoboye kubona ubundi bwami bwo ku isi bwakurikiraho. Ubwami bwa kane bwari Roma y’abapagani, yabanje Roma ya gipapa, ari bwo bwami bwa gatanu, maze bugakurikirwa na Roma ya none, ari bwo bwami bwa gatandatu. Ubwami bwa gatandatu ni ubwa gatatu mu bigaragarira bitatu bya Roma.

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.”

Ubufatanye bw’impande eshatu bw’igisato, ari bwo bw’umuserebanya, inyamaswa n’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma, ni Roma ya none kandi ni na yo Babuloni Ikomeye, iyo ibikomere byayo byica byakize. Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika, Umuryango w’Abibumbye n’indaya ya Tiro bigereranya ubwami bwa munani kandi bwa nyuma, nyamara bose uko ari batatu ni abafatanyabikorwa muri bwa bufatanye bw’impande eshatu bw’ubwami bwa gatandatu, ari bwo butegetsi bwa nyuma “buzarwanya itorero n’amategeko y’Imana.”

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.

Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika ni kimwe cya gatatu cy’ubwami bwa gatandatu. Umuryango w’Abibumbye, nk’igice cy’ubumwe bw’impande eshatu, na wo ni kimwe cya gatatu cy’ubwami bwa gatandatu, kandi ubupapa na bwo ni kimwe cya gatatu cy’ubwami bwa gatandatu. Kuri uru rwego, umubare wa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika ni GATANDATU, kandi umubare w’Umuryango w’Abibumbye ni GATANDATU, ndetse n’umubare w’ubupapa ni GATANDATU. Ubumwe bw’impande eshatu bugereranya umubare w’umuntu, “umuntu w’icyaha”, kandi umubare we ni GATANDATU-GATANDATU-GATANDATU.

> 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.

> Dore ubwenge. Ufite ubwenge abarure umubare w’inyamaswa: kuko ari umubare w’umuntu; kandi umubare wayo ni magana atandatu na mirongo itandatu n’atandatu. Ibyahishuwe 13:18.

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

Ubwami bwa gatandatu kandi bwa nyuma bwihariye ni Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, ariko buyobya isi, kuko ari bwo Muhanuzi w’Ikinyoma.

> 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.

> Kandi akoresha ubutware bwose bw’inyamaswa ya mbere imbere yayo, agatera isi n’abayituyemo kuramya ya nyamaswa ya mbere, iyari ifite uruguma rwica rwakize. Kandi ikora ibitangaza bikomeye, ndetse ikamanura umuriro uvuye mu ijuru ukagwa ku isi abantu babireba. Kandi iyobesha abatuye isi ikoresheje bya bitangaza yahawe ubushobozi bwo gukora imbere y’iyo nyamaswa; ibwira abatuye isi gukora igishushanyo cy’iyo nyamaswa yari yarakomerekejwe n’inkota, nyamara ikabaho. Ibyahishuwe 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.

“Ububasha bw’inyamaswa ya mbere imbere yayo,” buvuga ububasha ubupapa bwahawe n’abami b’i Burayi, guhera kuri Clovis mu mwaka wa 496. Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika zikoresha imbaraga zazo za gisirikare, ziherekejwe n’imbaraga zazo z’ubukungu, kugira ngo zishuke kandi zihatire isi. Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika zihata isi kuramya ubupapa binyuze mu gushyiraho kuramya ku cyumweru. Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika zikora ibitangaza bikomeye zimanura umuriro, (ikimenyetso cy’ubutumwa) uvuye mu ijuru, ibyo bikaba bizasohozwa n’Inzira y’Ikoranabuhanga ry’Amakuru yihuta cyane, igereranya iterambere ryuzuye ryo koza ubwonko no kwamamaza ibitekerezo, ari byo kwigaragaza kwa none kwa hipinozi. Kubera ikibazo gikomeza gukara cyagejejwe ku isi na Isilamu, ubwo isohoza uruhare rwayo mu kurakaza amahanga, isi irashukwa kwemera gahunda y’isi yose y’ihuriro ry’Itorero na Leta rigizwe n’ikiyoka, inyamaswa n’umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma.

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.

Iyo umurongo wa cumi n’umunani wo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi na gatatu uvuga uti mubare umubare wa ya nyamaswa, uwo mubare ni ububasha butatu buhura bukuzuzanya kugira ngo bugize ubwami bwa gatandatu kandi bwa nyuma. Igihe ubwo bwami bwa 666 buzashyirwaho, buzaba ari ugusohora kw’igisakuzo cy’ubuhanuzi kivuga ko umwami wa munani akomoka muri ba barindwi. Icyo gisakuzo cy’ubuhanuzi ni igice cy’ukuri gihishurwa igihe Intare yo mu muryango wa Yuda ikinguye Ibyahishuwe bya Yesu Kristo.

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.

Kubera iyo mpamvu, urujijo rw’ubwami bwa nyuma ari bwo bwami bwa gatandatu bufite impande eshatu, ari na bwo Babuloni bwo mu buryo bw’umwuka bwibagiranye mu gihe cy’imyaka mirongo irindwi y’ikigereranyo, kandi bukaba ari Roma ya none, kandi bukaba n’igishushanyo cy’inyamaswa cyo ku isi yose, cyashushanyijwe mbere n’ubwami bwa mbere bwa Babuloni, n’ubwami bwa kane bwa Roma y’abapagani, bwahamijwe incuro ebyiri n’imenyekanisha rivuga ko ari “abanyabwenge” bazasobanukirwa uku kuri; kuko urujijo rwa 666 rushingiye ku abafite ubwenge, nk’uko n’urujijo rw’umwami wa munani ukomoka muri ba barindwi rumeze.

> 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.

> Dore ubwenge. Ufite ubwenge abare umubare w’inyamaswa, kuko ari umubare w’umuntu; kandi umubare wayo ni Magana atandatu na mirongo itandatu n’itandatu. Ibyahishuwe 13:18.

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

> Kandi aha ni ho ubwenge bufite ubwitonzi. Imitwe irindwi ni imisozi irindwi, uwo mugore yicayeho. Ibyahishuwe 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.

Gukurwaho kw’Ibyahishuwe bya Yesu Kristo gusobanurwa n’“abanyabwenge,” si n’abanyabyaha. Aho ubwenge buvugwa hose uko ari habiri mu gitabo cy’Ibyahishuwe, havuga abafite “gusobanukirwa”; kandi icyo “abanyabwenge” basobanukirwa ni “kwiyongera kw’ubumenyi.” Iryo “kwiyongera kw’ubumenyi,” ari ryo Iyahishurwa rya Yesu Kristo, ni ihishurirwa yuko ubwami bwa munani, ari bwo bwami bw’incuro eshatu bwa 666, na bwo bugaragazwa muri Daniyeli igice cya kabiri, kuko amabuye y’agaciro yo mu nzozi za Miller agomba kurabagirana inshuro icumi kurushaho mu minsi y’imperuka.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Tuzakomeza iki cyigisho mu ngingo ikurikira.

> “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.

> “Mu Ibyahishuwe hagaragazwamo ibintu byimbitse by’Imana. Izina ubwaryo ryahawe ayo mapaji yahumetswe n’Imana, ‘Ibyahishuwe,’ rinyomoza imvugo ivuga ko iki ari igitabo gifunze. Ibyahishuwe ni ikintu cyahishuwe. Umwami ubwe yahishuriye umugaragu we amayobera akubiye muri iki gitabo, kandi yagennye ko agomba kuba yugururiwe kwigwa na bose. Ukuri kukirimo kwandikiwe abariho mu minsi y’imperuka y’amateka y’iyi si, nk’uko kwandikiwe n’abariho mu minsi ya Yohana. Bimwe mu byerekanwa muri ubu buhanuzi byabayeho kera, bimwe birimo kuba ubu; bimwe bitwereka iherezo ry’intambara ikomeye iri hagati y’imbaraga z’umwijima n’Umwami wo mu ijuru, kandi bimwe bigahishura insinzi n’ibyishimo by’abacunguwe mu isi yahinduwe nshya.

> “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.’

> “Nihagire utekereza ko, kubera ko badashobora gusobanura igisobanuro cya buri kimenyetso cyose cyo mu Byahishuwe, nta kamaro byagira ko bashakashaka iki gitabo bashaka kumenya igisobanuro cy’ukuri kirimo. Uwo wahishuriye Yohana aya mabanga azaha ushakashatsi w’umunyamwete ushaka ukuri uburyohe bw’iby’ijuru mbere y’igihe. Abafite imitima ifunguye yo kwakira ukuri bazashobozwa gusobanukirwa inyigisho zabyo, kandi bazahabwa umugisha wasezeraniwe ab ‘bumva amagambo y’ubu buhanuzi, bakitondera n’ibyanditswemo.’”

> “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.

> “Mu Ibyahishuwe ni ho ibitabo byose bya Bibiliya bihurira kandi bisozerezwa. Aha ni ho huzuza igitabo cya Daniyeli. Kimwe ni ubuhanuzi; ikindi ni ihishurwa. Igitabo cyashyizweho ikimenyetso si Ibyahishuwe, ahubwo ni cya gice cy’ubuhanuzi bwa Daniyeli kijyanye n’iminsi y’imperuka. Marayika yategetse ati: ‘Ariko wowe, Daniyeli, hisha ayo magambo, kandi ushire ikimenyetso ku gitabo, kugeza mu gihe cy’imperuka.’ Daniyeli 12:4.” Ibyakozwe n’Intumwa, 584, 585.
