There is a transition of both the Republican and the true Protestant horn of the earth beast that began in the year 2020. The true Protestant horn was slain on July 18, 2020, and the Republican horn was slain on November 3, 2020. According to Revelation chapter eleven, after three and a half symbolic days they will once again stand upon their feet. When they stand, the true Protestant horn will transition from Laodiceans to Philadelphians. They will have been taken out of a church, and brought into a movement. They have been taken out of the experience of the seventh church, into the experience of the sixth church. They have become the eighth, that is of the seven.

Hari ihinduka kw’amahembe yombi y’inyamaswa yo ku isi, ari ryo hembe ry’Abarepubulikani n’ihembe ry’Abaporotesitanti nyakuri, ryatangiye mu mwaka wa 2020. Ihembe ry’Abaporotesitanti nyakuri ryishwe ku wa 18 Nyakanga 2020, kandi ihembe ry’Abarepubulikani ryishwe ku wa 3 Ugushyingo 2020. Dukurikije Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi na kimwe, nyuma y’iminsi itatu n’igice y’ikigereranyo bazongera guhagarara ku birenge byabo. Nibahagarara, ihembe ry’Abaporotesitanti nyakuri rizahinduka ribe iry’Abalawodikiya rihinduke iry’Abafiladelifiya. Bazaba barakuwe mu itorero, bazanwe mu murimo. Bakuwe mu mibereho y’itorero rya karindwi, binjizwa mu mibereho y’itorero rya gatandatu. Bahindutse aba munani, kandi ni uwo muri ba karindwi.

The movement at the beginning of Adventism was the Philadelphian movement, and the Philadelphian movement is restored at the end. The work of the three angels of Revelation chapter fourteen, began as a movement, and it will end as a movement. The Philadelphian movement, represented by the sixth church of Philadelphia died in 1856, and beginning at the end of July in 2023, it is now being resurrected as the eighth, that is of the seven.

Urugendo rwari mu ntangiriro y’Abadiventisiti rwari urugendo rwa Filadelifiya, kandi urugendo rwa Filadelifiya rurasubizwaho ku iherezo. Umurimo w’abamarayika batatu bo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi na kane watangiye nk’urugendo, kandi uzarangira nk’urugendo. Urugendo rwa Filadelifiya, rugereranywa n’itorero rya gatandatu rya Filadelifiya, rwapfuye mu 1856, kandi guhera ku mpera za Nyakanga 2023, ubu rurimo kuzurwa nk’urwa munani, ari rwo rwo muri ya ndwi.

In the same history, the Republican horn is experiencing a parallel death and resurrection, with the sixth president since Reagan at the time of the end in 1989 becoming the eighth president, who is of the seven. The process of transitioning for the Republican horn is represented by its merging together with the horn of apostate Protestantism, which is spiritual fornication and the image of the beast. The Republican horn becomes the eighth, that is of the seven, for it represents an image of the beast of Catholicism, that is the eighth head, that is of the seven heads, in Revelation chapter seventeen, and in Daniel chapter two.

Mu mateka amwe, ihembe ry’Abarepubulikani ririmo kunyura mu rupfu n’umuzuko bihuje n’ibigereranywa, aho perezida wa gatandatu kuva kuri Reagan wo mu gihe cy’iherezo mu mwaka wa 1989 ahinduka perezida wa munani, ukomoka kuri ba barindwi. Inzira yo kwimuka kw’iri hembe ry’Abarepubulikani igereranywa no kwifatanya kwaryo n’ihembe ry’Ubuporotesitanti bw’ubuhakanyi, ari bwo busambanyi bwo mu mwuka n’ishusho y’inyamaswa. Ihembe ry’Abarepubulikani rihinduka irya munani, rikomoka kuri ba barindwi, kuko rigereranya ishusho y’inyamaswa ya Gatolika, ari ryo mutwe wa munani, ukomoka ku mitwe irindwi, mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi na karindwi, no muri Daniyeli igice cya kabiri.

The political transition of the horn of Republicanism is represented in the period of preparation from 1776 unto 1798. That prophetic period is a necessary key to recognize the unsealing of the hidden secret of Nebuchadnezzar’s image of the beasts. That period of preparation is represented by the period of a thirty-year preparation for both Christ and the antichrist.

Impinduka ya politiki y’ihembe ry’Uburepubulikani ihagarariwe mu gihe cyo kwitegura kuva mu 1776 kugeza mu 1798. Icyo gihe cy’ubuhanuzi ni urufunguzo rukenewe kugira ngo hamenyekane gukurwaho ikimenyetso ku ibanga ryihishwe ry’ishusho ya Nebukadinezari y’inyamaswa. Icyo gihe cyo kwitegura gihagarariwe n’igihe cy’imyaka mirongo itatu yo kwitegura, kuri Kristo no kuri antikristo.

The sealing time from September 11, 2001 unto the soon coming Sunday law is the prophetic period where the effect of every vision is accomplished. It represents the period that ends with the papacy returning to the throne of the earth as the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven, at the hour of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven. It has therefore been typified by the period that preceded the first time the papacy was enthroned in 538. In 538 the papacy passed a Sunday law at the Council of Orleans, identifying the end of the thirty years of preparation, and typifying the soon coming Sunday law. Jesus never changes, so there must be a period that precedes the Sunday law where the deadly wound is healed, as there was the first time the papacy was enthroned.

Igihe cyo gushyirwaho ikimenyetso, uhereye ku wa 11 Nzeri 2001 kugeza ku itegeko ryo ku cyumweru rizaza vuba, ni cyo gihe cy’ubuhanuzi aho ingaruka za buri yerekwa zisohozwa. Kigereranya igihe kirangirana n’uko ubupapa bwongera gusubira ku ntebe y’ubutegetsi bw’isi nk’ubwami bwa munani, bukomoka kuri bwa burindwi, mu isaha y’“umutingito ukomeye” wo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi na kimwe. Bityo rero cyagereranyijwe n’igihe cyabanje mbere y’uko ubupapa bwicazwa ku ntebe y’ubutegetsi ku ncuro ya mbere mu 538. Mu 538, ubupapa bwashyizeho itegeko ryo ku cyumweru mu Nama ya Orleans, bugaragaza iherezo ry’imyaka mirongo itatu yo kwitegura, kandi bugereranya itegeko ryo ku cyumweru rizaza vuba. Yesu ntajya ahinduka; bityo rero hagomba kubaho igihe kibanziriza itegeko ryo ku cyumweru, aho igikomere cyica gikira, nk’uko byagenze ku ncuro ya mbere ubupapa bwicazwaga ku ntebe y’ubutegetsi.

That period is represented by the histories associated with the waymarks of the years 508, 533 and 538. In the year 508 the period of preparation, or the setting up of the papacy began. The fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, a dragon power, had been subdued, and in 533, Justinian decreed that the papacy was the “head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics.” All that was left in order for the papacy to take control in 538, was the removal of the Goths from the City of Rome, and that took place in the year 538. That thirty-year line of history ran parallel to the birth of Christ, that was followed by the ministry of John, that led to the empowerment of Jesus as the Messiah at His baptism.

Icyo gihe gishushanywa n’amateka ajyanye n’ibimenyetso by’imyaka ya 508, 533 na 538. Mu mwaka wa 508, igihe cyo kwitegura, cyangwa cyo gushyiraho ubupapa, cyaratangiye. Ubwami bwa kane bwa Roma ya gipagani, imbaraga z’ikiyoka, bwari bwaracogojwe, maze mu 533, Yusitiniyani ategeka ko ubupapa ari “umutwe w’amatorero, kandi n’umukosora w’abahakanyi.” Icyari gisigaye gusa kugira ngo ubupapa bufate ubutegetsi mu 538, kwari ugukurwaho kw’Abagoti mu Murwa wa Roma, kandi ibyo byabaye mu mwaka wa 538. Uwo murongo w’imyaka mirongo itatu w’amateka wagendaga ubangikanye n’ivuka rya Kristo, rikurikirwa n’umurimo wa Yohana, ryagejeje ku guhabwa imbaraga kwa Yesu nk’Umusiyiya mu mubatizo We.

The period of preparation in the history of Christ runs parallel with the sealing time, and it addresses the internal line of the Protestant horn, while the period of preparation for the antichrist addresses the external line of the Republican horn. Those two periods provide two witnesses of September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon coming Sunday law. One period is emphasizing the external and the other the internal testimony of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Igihe cyo gutegurwa mu mateka ya Kristo kigendera icyarimwe n’igihe cyo gushyirwaho ikimenyetso, kandi kivuga ku murongo w’imbere w’ihembe ry’Abaporotesitanti, naho igihe cyo gutegurirwa antikristo kivuga ku murongo w’inyuma w’ihembe ry’Abaripubulikani. Ibyo bihe byombi bitanga abahamya babiri ba tariki ya 11 Nzeri 2001, 7 Ukwakira 2023, n’itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba. Igihe kimwe gishimangira ubuhamya bw’inyuma, ikindi na cyo bugashimangira ubuhamya bw’imbere bw’igihe cyo gushyirwaho ikimenyetso kw’abihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine.

The work of John, as the voice in the wilderness who prepared the way for the Messenger of the Covenant, paralleled the decree of Justinian that prepared the way for the man of sin, who is the messenger of the covenant of death. October 7, 2023 was the warning of what is going to happen when the Sunday law is enforced, as it was in 538. October 7, 2023 parallels 533 in the period of preparation for the first time the papacy was placed on the throne of the earth. It is the warning that at the soon-coming Sunday law, as in 538, the pope will once again become both the head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics. It is also the warning of the escalating warfare of Islam of the third woe.

Umurimo wa Yohana, nk’ijwi rirangurura mu butayu ryateguraga inzira y’Intumwa y’Isezerano, wagereranyaga itegeko rya Yusitiniyani ryateguye inzira y’umuntu w’icyaha, ari we ntumwa y’isezerano ry’urupfu. Tariki ya 7 Ukwakira 2023 yari umuburo w’ibizaba igihe itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rizashyirwa mu bikorwa, nk’uko byagenze mu 538. Tariki ya 7 Ukwakira 2023 igereranywa na 533 mu gihe cyo kwitegura ubwa mbere ubupapa bwashyirwaga ku ntebe y’ubwami bw’isi. Ni umuburo w’uko, mu itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba, nk’uko byari bimeze mu 538, papa azongera kuba icyarimwe umutwe w’amatorero, kandi nanone abe n’umukosora w’abahakanyi. Kandi ni n’umuburo w’intambara y’Idini ya Kisilamu yo mu byago bya gatatu irushaho gukara.

It is the warning identifying Islam (tidings of the east), and the warning of the restoration of the pope (tidings of the north). That warning coincides with the work of the messenger who prepares the way in the last days, for the Messenger of the Covenant, who is to then enter into covenant with the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Ni umuburo ugaragaza Isilamu (inkuru z’Iburasirazuba), n’umuburo wo kugarurwa kwa papa (inkuru z’Amajyaruguru). Uwo muburo uhura n’umurimo w’intumwa itegura inzira mu minsi y’imperuka, ku bw’Intumwa y’Isezerano, igomba rero kwinjirana isezerano n’abihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine.

The three periods of preparation (the thirty years of Christ and the antichrist, and the sealing time), are also typified by the period of 1776 unto 1798. The ending of the earth beast has a specific period which precedes its ending as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, therefore, the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy must have a prophetic period that precedes the beginning of that kingdom. Alpha and Omega always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

Ibihe bitatu byo gutegurwa (imyaka mirongo itatu ya Kristo n’umwanzi wa Kristo, n’igihe cyo gushyirwaho ikimenyetso), na byo bishushanywa n’igihe cyo mu 1776 kugeza mu 1798. Iherezo ry’inyamaswa yo ku isi rifite igihe cyihariye kibanziriza iherezo ryayo nk’ubwami bwa gatandatu bw’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya; bityo rero, intangiriro y’inyamaswa yo ku isi nk’ubwami bwa gatandatu bw’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya igomba kugira igihe cy’ubuhanuzi kibanziriza intangiriro y’ubwo bwami. Alufa na Omega buri gihe byerekana iherezo ry’ikintu hamwe n’intangiriro yacyo.

1776, 1789 and 1798 represent September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon-coming Sunday law. From 1776 unto 1798 the prophetic preparation of the setting up of the sixth kingdom was accomplished, just as the years 508, 533, and 538 represented the preparation of the setting up of the fifth kingdom. They must have these same prophetic characteristics, for the sixth kingdom is to be the image of the fifth kingdom.

1776, 1789 na 1798 bihagarariye ku itariki ya 11 Nzeri 2001, 7 Ukwakira 2023, ndetse n’itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba. Kuva mu 1776 kugeza mu 1798, gutegurwa k’ubuhanuzi kw’ishyirwaho ry’ubwami bwa gatandatu kwarasohoye, nk’uko imyaka ya 508, 533, na 538 yagereranyaga gutegurwa kw’ishyirwaho ry’ubwami bwa gatanu. Bigomba kugira ibi biranga by’ubuhanuzi bimwe, kuko ubwami bwa gatandatu bugomba kuba ishusho y’ubwami bwa gatanu.

The thirty years of Christ’s preparation leading to His baptism represent the same period, for when Christ came to confirm the covenant for one week, beginning at His baptism, He was setting up His kingdom of grace. In setting up His kingdom of grace in those seven years, He shed His blood to confirm that kingdom, and in so doing, He left the example of when He would set up His kingdom of glory. That kingdom of glory is the kingdom of Daniel two, that is represented as a stone that is cut out of a mountain without hands. That kingdom Sister White informs us is set up during the latter rain, and the latter rain began on September 11, 2001.

Imyaka mirongo itatu yo kwitegura kwa Kristo yaganishije ku mubatizo We igereranya icyo gihe nyine, kuko igihe Kristo yazaga gukomeza isezerano mu cyumweru kimwe, ahereye ku mubatizo We, yashyiragaho ubwami Bwe bw’ubuntu. Mu gushyiraho ubwami Bwe bw’ubuntu muri iyo myaka irindwi, yamenye amaraso Ye kugira ngo akomeze ubwo bwami, kandi mu kubikora atyo, yasize urugero rw’igihe yari kuzashyiriraho ubwami Bwe bw’ikuzo. Ubwo bwami bw’ikuzo ni ubwami bwo muri Daniyeli 2, bugaragazwa nk’ibuye rikurwa mu musozi ridaciwe n’amaboko. Mushiki wacu White atumenyesha ko ubwo bwami bushyirwaho mu gihe cy’imvura y’itumba ya nyuma, kandi iyo mvura y’itumba ya nyuma yatangiye ku wa 11 Nzeri 2001.

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

> “Imvura y’itumba izamanukira abatunganye—maze icyo gihe bose bazayakira nk’uko byagenze mbere.

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

> “Igihe abamarayika bane bazarekura, Kristo azashyiraho ubwami Bwe. Nta n’umwe uzahabwa imvura y’itumba keretse abakora ibyo bashoboye byose. Kristo yadufasha. Bose bashoboraga kunesha ku bw’ubuntu bw’Imana, binyuze mu maraso ya Yesu. Ijuru ryose rifitiye umurimo uyu inyota n’inyungu. Abamarayika na bo bawitayeho.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

On September 11, 2001 the four winds, which are represented as an angry horse (Islam) were released, and then held in check, while the one hundred and forty-four thousand are being sealed. 1776, 1789 and 1798 represent the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the three dates represent legal enactments that led to the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy being established. The second date of 1789 identifies the Constitution of the United States, and therefore it was the message that identified the Constitution as the twofold power that was to arrive in 1798, just as 533 was the announcement of the twofold power that would arrive in 538, and as John the Baptist announced the twofold power which would arrive at Christ’s baptism.

Ku wa 11 Nzeri 2001, ya miyaga ine, ishushanywa nk’ifarasi irakaye (Isilamu), yararekuwe, hanyuma iragenzurwa, mu gihe ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine bari gushyirwaho ikimenyetso. 1776, 1789 na 1798 bihagarariye igihe cyo gushyirwaho ikimenyetso kw’ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine, kandi ayo matariki atatu ahagarariye amategeko yashyizweho yagejeje ku ishyirwaho ry’ubwami bwa gatandatu bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya. Itariki ya kabiri, ari yo 1789, iranga Itegeko Nshinga rya Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, bityo rero yari ubutumwa bwagaragaje Itegeko Nshinga nk’ububasha bubiri bwagombaga kuza mu 1798, nk’uko 533 yari itangazo ry’ububasha bubiri bwari kuza mu 538, kandi nk’uko Yohana Umubatiza yatangaje ububasha bubiri bwari kuza mu mubatizo wa Kristo.

The two powers that make up the twofold power of Christ was His example that divinity combined with humanity does not sin. The two powers that make up the twofold power of the antichrist was his enthronement as the head of the churches, and his enthronement as the corrector of heretics. The two powers of that make up the twofold power of the earth beast are the two horns of Republicanism and Protestantism.

Imbaraga ebyiri zigize ubushobozi bubiri bwa Kristo zari urugero rwe rw’uko ubumana bwifatanije n’ubumuntu budacumura. Imbaraga ebyiri zigize ubushobozi bubiri bwa antikristo zari ukwimikwa kwe nk’umutwe w’amatorero, no ukwimikwa kwe nk’ukosora abahakanyi. Imbaraga ebyiri zigize ubushobozi bubiri bw’inyamaswa yo mu isi ni amahembe abiri ya Repubulikanisimu na Porotesitantisimu.

> “‘And he had two horns like a lamb.’ The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as ‘coming up’ in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that ‘all men are created equal’ and endowed with the inalienable right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 441.

> “‘Kandi yari ifite amahembe abiri asa n’ay’umwana w’intama.’ Ayo mahembe asa n’ay’umwana w’intama agaragaza ubuto, ubwere n’ubwitonzi, bikwiriye rwose kugaragaza imico ya Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika igihe umuhanuzi yazerekwaga nk’‘izamuka’ mu mwaka wa 1798. Mu mpunzi z’Abakristo zabanje guhungira muri Amerika zigashaka ubuhungiro bwo kurokoka akarengane k’abami no kutihanganirana kw’abatambyi, harimo benshi biyemeje gushinga ubutegetsi ku rufatiro rugari rw’ubwisanzure mu by’ubutegetsi bw’abaturage no mu by’idini. Ibitekerezo byabo byabonetse mu Itangazo ry’Ubwigenge, rigaragaza ukuri gukomeye ko ‘abantu bose baremwe bareshya’ kandi bahawe uburenganzira budashobora kwamburwa bwo kugira ‘ubuzima, umudendezo, no gushaka amahirwe yo kunezerwa.’ Kandi Itegeko Nshinga ryemeza ko abantu bafite uburenganzira bwo kwiyobora, riteganya ko abahagarariye rubanda batorwa n’amajwi y’abaturage ari bo bashyiraho amategeko kandi bakayashyira mu bikorwa. Ubwisanzure bwo kwizera mu by’idini nabwo bwatanzwe, buri muntu yemerewe kuramya Imana akurikije ibyo umutimanama we umutegeka. Uburepubulikani n’Ubuporotesitanti byahindutse amahame shingiro y’icyo gihugu. Ayo mahame ni yo ibanga ry’imbaraga zacyo n’ugutera imbere kwacyo. Abakandamizwaga n’abacuragirwaga hasi bo mu bihugu by’Abakristo hose bahindukiriye iki gihugu bakirebana amatsiko n’ibyiringiro. Miliyoni nyinshi zashatse kugera ku nkombe zacyo, kandi Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika yazamutse igera ku mwanya mu mahanga akomeye cyane yo ku isi.” The Great Controversy, 441.

1776, 1789 and 1798 represent three histories that emphasize that the eighth, is of the seven. 1776 represents the publication of the Declaration of Independence, and the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses. 1789 represents the publication of the Constitution and the History of the Articles of Confederation. 1798 represents the publication of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

1776, 1789 na 1798 bihagarariye amateka atatu ashimangira ko uwa munani, ari uwo muri barindwi. 1776 ihagarariye itangazwa ry’Itangazo ry’Ubwigenge, n’amateka ya Kongere ya Mbere n’iya Kabiri by’Umugabane. 1789 ihagarariye itangazwa ry’Itegeko Nshinga n’amateka y’Ingingo z’Ihuriro. 1798 ihagarariye itangazwa ry’Amategeko y’Abanyamahanga n’Ay’Ubushotoranyi, n’itangiriro ry’inyamaswa yo mu isi nk’ubwami bwa gatandatu bwo mu buhanuzi bwa Bibiliya.

The First Continental Congress occurred in 1774, and was a pivotal institution in the early history of the United States, serving as a governing body during the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Congresses are divided into two prophetic periods of the first congress and the last congress. The First Continental Congress had two presidents and convened in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26, 1774. Peyton Randolph was the first president of the meeting from September 5 to October 22, and then Henry Middleton presided for the next five days until October 26, 1774.

Kongere y’Umugabane ya Mbere yabayeho mu mwaka wa 1774, kandi yari urwego rw’ingenzi cyane mu mateka ya mbere ya Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, ikora nk’urwego ruyobora mu gihe cy’Intambara ya Muvugururwandembe y’Abanyamerika. Za Kongere z’Umugabane zigabanyijemo ibihe bibiri by’ubuhanuzi, ari byo kongere ya mbere n’iya nyuma. Kongere y’Umugabane ya Mbere yagize abaperezida babiri kandi yateraniye i Philadelphia kuva ku wa 5 Nzeri kugeza ku wa 26 Ukwakira 1774. Peyton Randolph ni we wabaye perezida wa mbere w’iyo nama kuva ku wa 5 Nzeri kugeza ku wa 22 Ukwakira, hanyuma Henry Middleton ayobora mu minsi itanu yakurikiyeho kugeza ku wa 26 Ukwakira 1774.

The Second Continental Congress occurred from 1775 until 1781. The Second Continental Congress had six presidents during its existence. Peyton Randolph presided as president from May 10, 1775 until May 24, 1775. He was the first president of both the First and also of the Second Continental Congresses. There was a total of eight presidents during the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses.

Kongere ya Kabiri Nyafurika y’Umugabane yabayeho kuva mu 1775 kugeza mu 1781. Mu gihe yamaze ibaho, Kongere ya Kabiri Nyafurika y’Umugabane yagize abakuru batandatu. Peyton Randolph yayoboye nka perezida kuva ku wa 10 Gicurasi 1775 kugeza ku wa 24 Gicurasi 1775. Yari perezida wa mbere wa Kongere ya Mbere Nyafurika y’Umugabane ndetse na Kongere ya Kabiri Nyafurika y’Umugabane. Mu mateka ya Kongere ya Mbere n’iya Kabiri Nyafurika y’Umugabane habayeho perezida umunani bose hamwe.

The second president of the Second Continental Congress was John Hancock, and Hancock presided from May 24, 1775 until October 31, 1777. Henry Laurens presided from November 1, 1777 until December 9, 1778. John Jay presided from December 10, 1778 until September 28, 1779. Samuel Huntington presided from September 28, 1779 until July 9, 1781. Thomas McKean presided from July 10, 1781 until November 4, 1781.

Perezida wa kabiri w’Inteko Nkuru ya kabiri y’Umugabane wa Amerika yari John Hancock, kandi Hancock yayoboye kuva ku wa 24 Gicurasi 1775 kugeza ku wa 31 Ukwakira 1777. Henry Laurens yayoboye kuva ku wa 1 Ugushyingo 1777 kugeza ku wa 9 Ukuboza 1778. John Jay yayoboye kuva ku wa 10 Ukuboza 1778 kugeza ku wa 28 Nzeri 1779. Samuel Huntington yayoboye kuva ku wa 28 Nzeri 1779 kugeza ku wa 9 Nyakanga 1781. Thomas McKean yayoboye kuva ku wa 10 Nyakanga 1781 kugeza ku wa 4 Ugushyingo 1781.

Peyton Randolph was the first president of both the First and Second Continental Congresses. This identifies that during the two periods of the Continental Congresses there were eight presidents, but the president that was the first president of each of the two periods was the same person. Therefore, though there were eight presidential terms, there were actually only seven presidents. The first president was of the seven men who were presidents, but as Randolph presided twice in that history, he also represents the eighth, that was of the seven.

Peyton Randolph yari perezida wa mbere w’Inama Nkuru z’Umugabane zombi, iya Mbere n’iya Kabiri. Ibi bigaragaza ko mu bihe bibiri by’izo Nama Nkuru z’Umugabane habaye perezida umunani, ariko perezida wabaye uwa mbere muri buri gihe muri ibyo byombi yari umuntu umwe. Bityo rero, nubwo habaye manda umunani z’ubuperezida, mu by’ukuri habaye perezida barindwi gusa. Perezida wa mbere yari umwe mu bagabo barindwi babaye ba perezida; ariko kuko Randolph yayoboye incuro ebyiri muri ayo mateka, ni cyo gituma na we ahagararira uwa munani, wari uwo muri ba barindwi.

In the history of the Continental Congresses, the Revolutionary War was managed by the Congress. For this reason, George Washington was never a president in that period, for he had been appointed as the first Commander and Chief over the military.

Mu mateka ya za Kongere zo ku Mugabane, Intambara y’Impinduramatwara yayoborwaga na Kongere. Kubera iyo mpamvu, George Washington ntiyigeze aba perezida muri icyo gihe, kuko yari yarashyizweho nk’Umugaba Mukuru wa mbere w’ingabo.

Being the first president of both periods Randolph represents two witnesses typifying the first actual president, who was George Washington. Washington is represented by Randolph, and therefore Randolph, as a symbol of Washington, conveys both the prophetic characteristics of Randolph the first president, but also that Randolph was the eighth, that was of the seven. Thus George Washington, as the first president and the first Commander and Chief, was also prophetically the eighth, and was of the seven.

Kubera perezida wa mbere w’ibi bihe byombi, Randolph ahagarariye abahamya babiri bagereranya perezida wa mbere nyakuri, ari we George Washington. Washington ahagarariwe na Randolph, bityo rero Randolph, nk’ikimenyetso cya Washington, agaragaza icyarimwe imiterere ya gihanuzi ya Randolph perezida wa mbere, ariko kandi n’uko Randolph yari uwa munani, kandi yari uwo muri ba barindwi. Ni cyo gituma George Washington, nk’umukuru wa mbere w’igihugu kandi nk’Umugaba w’Ikirenga wa mbere, na we yari mu buryo bwa gihanuzi uwa munani, kandi yari uwo muri ba barindwi.

Jesus illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning, so the last president and Commander and Chief will be the eighth, that is of the seven. This prophetic fact is established in the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses which is represented by the date of the first waymark of 1776, and publication of the Declaration of Independence.

Yesu agaragaza iherezo ry’ikintu akoresheje intangiriro yacyo, bityo perezida wa nyuma akaba n’Umugaba Mukuru w’Ingabo azaba uwa munani, ni ukuvuga ukomotse kuri ba barindwi. Uku kuri k’ubuhanuzi gushimangirwa n’amateka y’Amakongere y’Umugabane wa mbere n’uwa kabiri, aserukirwa n’itariki y’ikimenyetso cya mbere cyo mu nzira yo mu mwaka wa 1776, ndetse no gutangazwa kw’Itangazo ry’Ubwigenge.

The waymark of 1776 typifies September 11, 2001, and the Patriot Act, where American independence was placed under the authority of Roman law, and no longer under English law. It marks the beginning of the prophetic period that prepares the way for the papacy to once again take the throne of the earth at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Ikimenyetso cy’inzira cyo mu 1776 gishushanya Itariki ya 11 Nzeri 2001, n’Itegeko Patriot Act, aho ubwigenge bwa Amerika bwashyizwe munsi y’ubutegetsi bw’amategeko y’Abaroma, bukareka kugengwa n’amategeko y’Abongereza. Kigaragaza intangiriro y’igihe cy’ubuhanuzi gitegura inzira kugira ngo ubupapa bwongere gufata intebe y’ubwami bw’isi ku itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba.

As with the prophetic period represented by 1776, the prophetic period represented the history from the conclusion of the Second Continental Congress in 1781 to 1789, which is the date that identifies the waymark associated with the publication of the Constitution. In that history there were also eight presidents. The history of 1781 to 1789 is the history of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation represented the first Constitution, but the weakness of the Articles of Confederation led to its replacement, and the ratification of the Constitution in 1789.

Nk’uko byagenze no ku gihe cy’ubuhanuzi cyagereranywaga na 1776, igihe cy’ubuhanuzi cyagereranyaga amateka kuva ku musozo wa Kongere ya Kabiri y’Ibihugu Byibumbiye Hamwe yo ku Mugabane wa Amerika mu 1781 kugeza mu 1789, ari na yo tariki igaragaza ikimenyetso cy’inzira gifitanye isano no gutangazwa kw’Itegeko Nshinga. Muri ayo mateka na ho habayemo ba perezida umunani. Amateka yo kuva mu 1781 kugeza mu 1789 ni amateka y’Ingingo z’Ihuriro. Ingingo z’Ihuriro zagereranyaga Itegeko Nshinga rya mbere, ariko intege nke z’izo Ngigo z’Ihuriro zatumye risimburwa, maze Itegeko Nshinga ryemezwa burundu mu 1789.

In that period the eight presidents consisted of seven presidents who were not presidents in the history of the two Continental Congresses, and one who was also a president in that first prophetic period. John Hancock served in both the second Continental Congress, and also in the period represented by the Articles of Confederation. At the prophetic level, there were only seven men who were president during the two Continental Congresses, thus prophetically John Hancock was one of the eight in the period of the Articles of Confederation, but he was also one of the seven men from the previous period. He was therefore the eighth, that was of the seven.

Muri icyo gihe, abo baperezida umunani bari bagizwe n’abaperezida barindwi batari abaperezida mu mateka ya za Kongere ebyiri z’Umugabane, n’umwe wari na we Perezida muri cya gihe cya mbere cy’ubuhanuzi. John Hancock yakoreye muri Kongere ya kabiri y’Umugabane, kandi no mu gihe cyagereranywaga n’Ingingo z’Ubumwe. Ku rwego rw’ubuhanuzi, hari abagabo barindwi gusa babaye Perezida muri za Kongere ebyiri z’Umugabane; bityo rero mu buryo bw’ubuhanuzi John Hancock yari umwe muri ba munani bo mu gihe cy’Ingingo z’Ubumwe, ariko kandi yari umwe mu bagabo barindwi bo mu gihe cyabanje. Ni cyo cyatumye aba uwa munani, kandi yari uwo muri ba barindwi.

The second prophetic period, represented by 1789, also had a president (Hancock) who was the eighth, but of the seven, as was Payton Randolph in the first prophetic period represented by 1776. 1789 aligns with and represents the January 6, 2021 Pelosi trials.

Igihe cya kabiri cy’ubuhanuzi, gihagarariwe na 1789, na cyo cyari gifite perezida (Hancock) wari uwa munani, ariko wo muri ba barindwi, nk’uko byari kuri Payton Randolph mu gihe cya mbere cy’ubuhanuzi gihagarariwe na 1776. 1789 ihura kandi igahagararira ibigeragezo bya Pelosi byo ku wa 6 Mutarama 2021.

> “The Lord has faithful watchmen on the walls of Zion to cry aloud and spare not, to lift up their voice like a trumpet, and show His people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins. The Lord has permitted the enemy of truth to make a determined effort against the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. He designs by this means to awaken a decided interest in that question which is a test for the last days. This will open the way for the third angel’s message to be proclaimed with power.

> “Uwiteka afite abarinzi b’indahemuka ku nkike za Siyoni bo gutaka cyane kandi ntibaceceke, bo kuzamura ijwi ryabo nk’impanda, no kwereka ubwoko Bwe ibicumuro byabwo no kwereka inzu ya Yakobo ibyaha byayo. Uwiteka yemeye ko umwanzi w’ukuri agira umuhati ukomeye wo kurwanya Isabato y’itegeko rya kane. Ateganya gukoresha iyo nzira kugira ngo akangure ugushishikazwa gukomeye n’icyo kibazo, ari cyo kigeragezo cy’iminsi y’imperuka. Ibyo bizakingura inzira kugira ngo ubutumwa bw’umumarayika wa gatatu bubwirizwe bufite imbaraga.”

> “Let not one who believes the truth, be silent now. None should be careless now; let all urge their petitions at the throne of grace, pleading the promise, ‘Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do’ (John 14:13). It is a perilous time now. If this land of boasted liberty is preparing to sacrifice every principle which enters into her Constitution, making decrees to suppress religious freedom, and for the enforcing of papal falsehood and delusion, then the people of God need to present their petitions in faith to the Most High. There is every encouragement, in the promises of God, for those who put their trust in Him. The prospect of being brought into personal danger and distress, need not cause despondency, but should quicken the vigor and hopes of God’s people; for the time of their peril is the season for God to grant them clearer manifestations of His power.

> “Ntihakagire uwizera ukuri uceceka muri iki gihe. Nta n’umwe ukwiriye kuba umunyaburangare ubu; bose nibashyireho umwete mu kugeza ibyifuzo byabo ku ntebe y’ubuntu, bitwaje isezerano rivuga riti: ‘Icyo muzansaba cyose mu izina ryanjye, nzagikora’ (Yohana 14:13). Iki ni igihe cy’akaga ubu. Niba iki gihugu cyirata umudendezo kirimo kwitegura gutamba buri hame ryose rigize Itegeko Nshinga ryacyo, kigashyiraho amategeko yo guhagarika umudendezo w’idini no gushyigikira ikinyoma n’ubuyobe bya gipapa, noneho ubwoko bw’Imana bugomba kugeza ibyifuzo byabwo ku Isumbabyose mu kwizera. Amasezerano y’Imana atanga impamvu zose zo gutera umwete abamwiringira. Ibyiringiro byo gushyirwa mu kaga no mu makuba ku giti cy’umuntu ntibikwiye gutera gucika intege, ahubwo bikwiye kongera imbaraga n’ibyiringiro by’ubwoko bw’Imana; kuko igihe cy’akaga kabo ari cyo gihe Imana ibaha ibimenyetso birushijeho gusobanuka by’ubushobozi bwayo.”

> “We are not to sit in calm expectancy of oppression and tribulation, and fold our hands, doing nothing to avert the evil. Let our united cries be sent up to heaven. Pray and work, and work and pray. But let none act rashly. Learn as never before that you must be meek and lowly in heart. You must not bring a railing accusation against any, whether individuals or churches. Learn to deal with minds as Christ did. Sharp things must sometimes be spoken; but be sure that the Holy Spirit of God is abiding in your heart before you speak the clear-cut truth; then let it cut its way. You are not to do the cutting.” Selected Messages, book 2, 370.

> “Ntidukwiriye kwicara dutegereje dutuje igitugu n’amakuba, maze tukazinga amaboko ntidukore ikintu na kimwe cyo gukumira ikibi. Reka gutakamba kwacu twese kuzamurirwe mu ijuru.

Hari igihe amagambo akarishye akwiriye kuvugwa; ariko mujye mwizera neza ko Mwuka Wera w’Imana ari we uguma mu mutima wanyu mbere y’uko muvuga ukuri gusobanutse neza; hanyuma mureke uko kuri kwicemurire inzira yako. Si mwe mugomba guca.” Selected Messages, igitabo cya 2, 370.

The second waymark in the prophetic period of preparation represented by the Constitution identifies that the Constitution is to be overturned at the next waymark. That second waymark has been typified by John the Baptist, and also by the decree of Justinian, which both identified and presented a warning in connection with the arrival of the last event represented in the period. For John it was the empowerment of Christ as He confirmed His covenant of life with His precious blood, and for Justinian it was the empowerment of the antichrist, who was to ratify his covenant of death with the blood of the martyrs.

Ikimenyetso cya kabiri kiri mu gihe cy’ubuhanuzi cy’iteguro gihagarariwe n’Itegeko Nshinga kigaragaza ko Itegeko Nshinga rigomba gukurwaho ku kimenyetso gikurikira. Icyo kimenyetso cya kabiri cyagereranyijwe na Yohana Umubatiza, kandi nanone n’iteka rya Yusitiniyani, byombi byagaragaje kandi bitanga umuburo ujyanye no kuza kw’igikorwa cya nyuma gihagarariwe muri icyo gihe. Kuri Yohana, cyari uguhabwa imbaraga kwa Kristo ubwo yahamishaga isezerano rye ry’ubugingo n’amaraso ye y’igiciro cyinshi; naho kuri Yusitiniyani, cyari uguhabwa imbaraga kwa antikristo, wari kuzemeza isezerano rye ry’urupfu n’amaraso y’abahowe ukwizera.

The Constitution in 1789 identified the empowerment of the two horns of the earth beast, and in so doing, 1789 identified the soon coming destruction of the earth beast’s two horns of power, as represented by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798. When the two witnesses were slain in the streets in the year 2020, they identified and warned of a sustained attack upon the Constitution that are symbolized by the January 6, 2021, Pelosi trials.

Itegeko Nshinga mu 1789 ryagaragaje guhabwa ububasha kwa mahembe abiri y’inyamaswa yo mu isi, kandi mu kubigenza gutyo, 1789 ryagaragaje irimbuka rizaza vuba ry’ayo mahembe abiri y’ububasha bw’inyamaswa yo mu isi, nk’uko byashushanyijwe n’Amategeko ya Alien and Sedition yo mu 1798. Igihe abahamya babiri bishwe mu mihanda mu mwaka wa 2020, bagaragaje kandi baburira ku gitero kirambye kigabwa ku Itegeko Nshinga, gishushanywa n’imanza za Pelosi zo ku wa 6 Mutarama 2021.

January 6, 2021 is the warning about the empowerment of the papacy at the soon-coming Sunday law, as typified by the decree of Justinian in the year 533. January 6, 2021 and the year 533, both give warning of the soon coming Sunday law, as typified by the Sunday law in 538 at the Council of Orleans, and by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, which typified the earth beast speaking as a dragon at the soon coming Sunday law.

Tariki ya 6 Mutarama 2021 ni umuburo werekeye guha ubupapa ububasha mu itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba, nk’uko byashushanyijwe n’itegeko rya Yusitiniyani mu mwaka wa 533. Tariki ya 6 Mutarama 2021 n’umwaka wa 533, byombi bitanga umuburo w’itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba, nk’uko byashushanyijwe n’itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru ryo mu 538 mu Nama ya Orléans, ndetse n’Amategeko y’Abanyamahanga n’Ay’Ubwigomeke yo mu 1798, yashushanyaga inyamaswa yo mu isi ivuga nk’ikiyoka mu itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru rigiye kuza vuba.

At the Sunday law the deadly wound of the papacy will be healed, and the eighth head of Revelation chapter seventeen, that is of the seven heads, will be resurrected. The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, represents the earth beast speaking as a dragon, when it not only enforces the worship of the sun, but thereafter forces the entire world to accept the authority of the sea beast of Revelation chapter thirteen, as the eighth head that is of the seven heads. Therefore, in each of the three periods represented within the period of preparation by 1776, 1789 and 1798, the prophetic enigma of the eighth, being of the seven is prophetically represented.

Mu gihe cy’itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru, igikomere cyica cy’ubupapa kizakira, kandi umutwe wa munani wo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi na karindwi, ari uwo muri ya mitwe irindwi, uzazurwa. Amategeko y’Abanyamahanga n’Ay’Ubwigomeke yo mu 1798, agaragaza inyamaswa yo mu isi ivuga nk’ikiyoka, ubwo itari gusa ishyiraho ugusengwa kw’izuba, ahubwo nyuma yaho igahatira isi yose kwemera ubutware bw’inyamaswa yo mu nyanja yo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi na gatatu, nk’umutwe wa munani uri muri ya mitwe irindwi. Ni cyo gituma, muri buri kimwe mu bihe bitatu bigaragarirwa mu gihe cyo kwitegura na 1776, 1789 na 1798, urujijo rw’ubuhanuzi rw’uwa munani, ari uwo muri ba barindwi, rugereranywa mu buryo bw’ubuhanuzi.

The first two waymarks (1776 and 1789), that identify the enigma, address the riddle being accomplished within the prophetic history of the earth beast, and the third waymark identifies the enigma being accomplished for the papal power.

Ibimenyetso bibiri bya mbere by’inzira (1776 na 1789), biranga cya gihamya cy’urumuri, byerekeza ku mayobera ari gusohozwa mu mateka y’ubuhanuzi y’inyamaswa yo mu isi, naho ikimenyetso cya gatatu cy’inzira kikagaragaza ayo mayobera ari gusohozwa ku butegetsi bwa gipapa.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Tuzakomeza iki cyigisho mu ngingo ikurikiraho.

> “‘Saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ Here is clearly presented a form of government in which the legislative power rests with the people, a most striking evidence that the United States is the nation denoted in the prophecy.

> “‘Kubwira abatuye isi ko bakora igishushanyo cy’inyamaswa.’ Aha haragaragazwa neza ubwoko bw’ubutegetsi waarin imbaraga zo gushyiraho amategeko ziri mu baturage, kikaba ari ikimenyetso kigaragara cyane ko Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika ari cyo gihugu kivugwa muri ubwo buhanuzi.

> “But what is the ‘image to the beast’? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the beast. It is also called an image of the beast. Then to learn what the image is like and how it is to be formed we must study the characteristics of the beast itself—the papacy.

> “Ariko se ‘ishusho y’inyamaswa’ ni iki? Kandi izaremwa ite? Iyo shusho iremwa n’inyamaswa ifite amahembe abiri, kandi ni ishusho y’inyamaswa. Nanone yitwa ishusho y’inyamaswa. Bityo rero, kugira ngo tumenye uko iyo shusho imeze n’uko igomba kuremwa, tugomba kwiga ibiranga iyo nyamaswa ubwayo—ubupapa.

> “When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of ‘heresy.’ In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.

> “Igihe itorero rya mbere ryandurwaga no kuva ku bworoherane bw’ubutumwa bwiza no kwemera imihango n’imigenzo bya gipagani, ryatakaje Umwuka n’imbaraga by’Imana; kandi kugira ngo rigenzure imitima y’abaturage, ryashatse ko ubutegetsi bw’isi burishyigikira. Ingaruka yabyo yabaye ubupapa, ari bwo torero ryagenzuraga ububasha bwa leta kandi rikabukoresha kugira ngo ryagure imigambi yarwo bwite, cyane cyane mu guhana ‘ubuyobe.’ Kugira ngo Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika zishobore kurema ishusho ya cya gikoko, ububasha bw’idini bugomba kugenzura ubutegetsi bwa gisivili ku buryo ububasha bwa leta na bwo buzakoreshejwa n’itorero kugira ngo risohoze imigambi yarwo bwite.”

> “Whenever the church has obtained secular power, she has employed it to punish dissent from her doctrines. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. An example of this is given in the long-continued persecution of dissenters by the Church of England. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, thousands of nonconformist ministers were forced to flee from their churches, and many, both of pastors and people, were subjected to fine, imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom.

> “Igihe cyose itorero ryabonye ububasha bw’isi, ryabukoresheje mu guhana abatatandukanywa n’inyigisho zaryo. Amatorero y’Abaporotesitanti yakurikiye intambwe za Roma binyuze mu kwifatanya n’ubutegetsi bw’isi yagaragaje icyifuzo nk’icyayo cyo kugabanya umudendezo w’umutimanama. Urugero rw’ibi rugaragarira mu itotezwa rimaze igihe kirekire ry’abatemeraga ibyo itorero ryigishaga, bakozweho n’Itorero ry’u Bwongereza. Mu kinyejana cya cumi na gatandatu no mu cya cumi na karindwi, ibihumbi by’abakozi b’ijambo batagenderaga ku mategeko yaryo bahatiwe guhunga amatorero yabo, kandi benshi, haba mu bashumba no mu bantu, bacibwa amande, bagafungwa, bagakorerwa iyicarubozo, ndetse bakicwa bazira ukwizera kwabo.”

> “It was apostasy that led the early church to seek the aid of the civil government, and this prepared the way for the development of the papacy—the beast. Said Paul: ‘There’ shall ‘come a falling away, … and that man of sin be revealed.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:3. So apostasy in the church will prepare the way for the image to the beast.

> “Ni ukwihakana ni ko kwatumye itorero rya mbere rishaka ubufasha bw’ubutegetsi bwa leta, kandi ibyo ni byo byateguye inzira y’ukwiyubaka kw’ubupapa—ya nyamaswa. Pawulo yaravuze ati: ‘Hazaza ubuhakanyi, … kandi wa muntu w’ibyaha ahishurwe.’ 2 Abatesalonike 2:3. Bityo rero, ukwihakana mu itorero kuzategura inzira y’ishusho ya ya nyamaswa.”

> “The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord there will exist a state of religious declension similar to that in the first centuries. ‘In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.’ 2 Timothy 3:1–5. ‘Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.’ 1 Timothy 4:1. Satan will work ‘with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ And all that ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ will be left to accept ‘strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9–11. When this state of ungodliness shall be reached, the same results will follow as in the first centuries.” The Great Controversy, 443, 444.

> “Bibiliya itangaza ko mbere yo kuza k’Umwami hazabaho imimerere yo gusubira inyuma mu by’idini isa n’iyabayeho mu binyejana bya mbere. ‘Mu minsi y’imperuka hazaza ibihe birushya. Kuko abantu bazaba bikunda, bakunda amafaranga, birarira, bibona, batuka Imana, batumvira ababyeyi, badafite gushima, batari abera, badafite urukundo rwa kavukire, bica isezerano, barega ibinyoma, batirinda, b’abanyamwaga, banga ibyiza, abagambanyi, abanyamwaga, bibona, bakunda ibibanezeza aho gukunda Imana; bafite ishusho yo kubaha Imana, ariko bahakana imbaraga zabyo.’ 2 Timoteyo 3:1–5. ‘Ariko Umwuka avuga yeruye yuko mu bihe bya nyuma bamwe bazateshuka ku byo kwizera, bakita ku myuka iyobya no ku nyigisho z’abadayimoni.’ 1 Timoteyo 4:1. Satani azakora ‘afite imbaraga zose n’ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza by’ibinyoma, n’ubushukanyi bwose bwo gukiranirwa.’ Kandi abo bose ‘batemeye gukunda ukuri kugira ngo bakizwe,’ bazarekwa kwemera ‘ubuyobe bukomeye, ngo bizere ibinyoma.’ 2 Abatesalonike 2:9–11. Igihe iyi mimerere yo kutubaha Imana izaba igezeho, hazakurikiraho ingaruka nk’izo mu binyejana bya mbere.” The Great Controversy, 443, 444.
