The sealing began on September 11, 2001 when the mighty angel of chapter eighteen of Revelation descended. His descent was typified by the descent of the angel of Revelation ten on August 11, 1840, and also by the descent of the Holy Spirit at Christ’s baptism. Christ’s baptism points forward to the latter rain descending when the great buildings of New York City were brought down. The power from above began, and also at that time the power from beneath (bottomless pit) would be manifested, for God’s Word never fails.

Keto cing ocake i ceng apar acel me dwe me September, mwaka 2001, ka malayika ma tek loyo me pot buk apar aboro me Revelation o aa piny. Aa-gi piny onongo kicwalo calo ki aa piny pa malayika me pot buk apar me Revelation i ceng apar acel me dwe me August, mwaka 1840, kede bene ki aa piny pa Roho Maleng i kubo pa Kric.

Twero ma i malo ocake, kede bene i kare meno twero ma ki ii piny (bottomless pit) obi nyutu, pien Lok pa Lubanga pe obale mo keken.

When Christ was baptized, He immediately went into the wilderness and fasted for forty days, after which He was tempted by Satan with three temptations. Each of those three temptations represent primary characteristics of each of the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon. Those three temptations were pride, a characteristic of the dragon; appetite, a characteristic of the beast, and presumption, a characteristic of the false prophet. Pride and self-exaltation are represented by Lucifer in the classic description of Isaiah.

Ka gibatiso Kristo, en otum oceto i gweng ci osiibo pi nino apar angwen; kun otyeko mano, Lacwe otemo en ki tem adek. Keken tem adek meno nyutu kit madit pa acel acel ikom teko adek ma gicako lobo ocito i Armageddon. Tem adek meno obedo: wii malo, kit pa Darakon; mito kio, kit pa lewic; ki temo Lubanga, kit pa nabi me bwongo. Wii malo ki liel wii nyutu gi Lusifa i cwalo pa Aisaia ma klasik.

> How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms. Isaiah 14:12–16.

> Nining ityek obwol ki polo, o Lucifer, nyathi me cawa me ceng! Eno nining iguro woko i piny, in ma onyweye teko pa kabilo! Pien iwaco i cwiny ni, ‘Abimalo i polo; abiyabo komna i wi keng pa Lubanga; abibedo bende i got pa luny, i tung pa bor; abimalo loyo i wi malac pa bul; abibedo macalo Ma Loyo Tutwal.’ Ento in gibiboyo piny i piny pa jo otho, i tung pa bur. Jo ma ginen in gibi neno in ki medo medo, gibi tam ikom in, gicwaco waci ni, ‘En dano man ma omiyo piny oyuyo, ma oyuyo lobo me rwodi?’ Aisaia 14:12-16.

Five times Lucifer proclaims in his heart “I will.” Satan, once named the “light bearer” (Lucifer), who now only bears darkness, is he “that did shake the nations.” Prophetically he is associated with the “nations,” for he is the leader of the evil confederacy of the nations, and the confederacy of merchants identified in Revelation chapters seventeen and eighteen.

Lucifer owaco lok “Abi” i cwiny pa iye abicel. Satan, ma kare acel nyinge ne “light bearer” (Lucifer), ma kombedi tye ka gwoko otum keken, en aye “ma onyungo pinye.” Ki kit pa poropeti, en tye ki kube ki “nations,” pien en aye laloc pa lare marac pa pinye, kede lare pa jo me cato ma kityeko nyutu i Revelation chapta 17 ki 18.

> “Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon themselves the brand of antichrist, and are represented as the dragon who goes to make war with the saints—with those who keep the commandments of God and who have the faith of Jesus.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

> "Rwodi, ladito, ki gavana giketo ikomgi cal me Antikristo, ki ginyutu calo dragoni ma ceto me lweny ki jo maleng—jo ma gigwoko cik pa Lubanga kede gi tye ki yie pa Yesu." Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

At Christ’s baptism the Holy Spirit descended, typifying post-September 11, 2001. After His baptism Satan tempted Christ with the offer to give Christ the power Satan uses to rule the kingdoms of the world, for at the fall of Adam, Satan had become the ruler of the kingdoms of the world.

I kare me baptiiso pa Kristo, Roho Maleng obino piny, me nyutu kare ma oko ceng 11 me September, 2001. Kacce baptiiso pa En otyeko, Setani otemo Kristo, owaco ni obimiyo Kristo twero ma Setani timo kwede me bedo rwot pa pinyruoth pa lobo, pien i cawa me poto pa Adam, Setani dong obedo rwot pa pinyruoth pa lobo.

> And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:5–8.

> Ci Setani oketo en malo i got madit, onyuto bot en piny me rwot weng me lobo i kare macek. Setani owaco bot en ni, “Twero weng man abi mii in, kede dugu pa gin; pien kimiyo an, to i dano mo keken ma an amito, abi mii. Ka in ibi lamo an, gin weng obed me in.” Yesu odwoko owaco bot en ni, “Wot i tung an, Setani; pien kicono ni, ‘Ibi lamo Rwot Lubanga ni, en keken ibitimo tic pi en.’” Luka 4:5-8.

Two primary characteristics of papal Rome (the beast), is her fornication and the poisoned “food” and drink she distributes.

Gin alama aryo madwong pa Roma pa Pope (le): tic me malaya pa en, ki 'kic' ki me nywom ma omiyo ma oketo iye ogi.

> Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:14.

> Ento, an atye ki gin mogo matin i kom in, pien i weko nyako Jezebel, ma miyo nying pire kene ni anabi nyako, me kwano ki me rweyo laticna me timo cobo, ki me cham jami ma kicemo bot bale. Revelation 2:14.

The “food” and drink she provides is her false doctrines.

“Kwon” ki pii ma en miyo, gin lok me tito pa en ma pe atir.

> “The great sin charged against Babylon is that she ‘made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ This cup of intoxication which she presents to the world represents the false doctrines that she has accepted as the result of her unlawful connection with the great ones of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 388.

> "Richo madit ma ki yaro bot Babilon en ni: 'o miyo kabilo weng me piny kwongo i mwon pa dic pa keca pa ne.' Lagam man me nywinywi ma oyubu bot lobo nyutu pwonye mape atir ma o cwako i tungcen pa kube pa ne ma pe rwate ki cik kwede jo ma bedo madit i lobo." The Great Controversy, 388.

The beast of Catholicism also deceives the world by her sorceries, which is once again something that is taken internally.

Le pa Katolika bene okelo piny i tung marac ki lamal pa iye, ma dok bene gin mo ma kicamo i iye.

> And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Revelation 18:23.

> Kede ler pa kandiru pe dok bi lero mo keken i yin; kede dwol pa lacoo ma lonyo ki pa dako ma lonyo pe dok bi winyo mo keken i yin: pien jo me cwalo pa yin gibedo jo madit pa lobo; pien ki ajwani pa yin jo me piny weng gicayo. Revelation 18:23.

The Greek word translated as “sorceries,” is pharmakeia, meaning medications. The golden cup in her hand, represents not only a cup to drink wine from, but also the cup where her magical medical potions are prepared and delivered. In the modern world today, those magical potions are delivered in needles, not so much in a cup. When Satan appears after the soon-coming Sunday law, he will perform miracles of healing. The miracles associated with the potions and false doctrines of the papacy, was represented by Satan telling Christ to perform a miracle in turning the stone into bread.

Lok me Girik ma ki loko calo “sorceries” en “pharmakeia”, ma tyen ne yot (me twero). Acutu me zahabu ma tye i cing pa iye pe nyutu keken acutu me camo waini; ento bende nyutu acutu ma iye kicweyo ka kimegi yot me yera pa iye. I lobo me kombedi, yot me yera magi kimegi kun i sindano, pe tutwal kun i acutu. Bang cik me Sunday ma con dong bino, ka Satan obiyabe, obitimo lamal me yot. Lamal ma okube ki yot me yera kacel ki kwena mape adier pa tuk pa Papa, kityeko nyutu ne ka Satan owaco bot Kristo ni otimo lamal me loko kidi obed miny.

The prophetic history before and after the Sunday law possesses the same characteristics. The image of the beast testing period for Adventism leading to the Sunday law in the United States typifies the image of the beast testing period for the entire world. This is why we are informed that, “the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.”

Rek me janabi ma con ki ma lacen ikom cik me Sunday tye ki kit maromo. Kare me temo pa cal pa lec pi Adventism, ma kelo bot cik me Sunday i United States, nyutu kit pa kare me temo pa cal pa lec pi piny weng. Man aye pingo omiyo kiwaco bot wa ni, "peko acel bi donyo i bot jo wa i kabedo weng pa piny."

The miracles of satanic healings that are accomplished by Satan after the Sunday law, represent the “sorceries” of so-called medicine that are pawned off during the history beginning on September 11, 2001. Jesus stated that, “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Rome’s “food” is traditions and customs which she places above the Word of God.

Lamal me yath ma me Setani, ma Setani otimo ka Cik me Sande dong otyeko kete, nyutu ni gin “tim me ajwaka” pa yath ma gicoyo ni yath, ma gityeko piyo piny i kare ma ocake ki Ceng 11 me September 2001. Yesu owaco ni, “Dano pe bi kwo ki buru keken, ento bi kwo ki lok acel acel pa Lubanga.” “Mere” pa Ruma obedo tuk ki kit pa jo, ma en oketo i tung malo pa Lok pa Lubanga.

> “In the movements now in progress in the United States to secure for the institutions and usages of the church the support of the state, Protestants are following in the steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World. And that which gives greater significance to this movement is the fact that the principal object contemplated is the enforcement of Sunday observance—a custom which originated with Rome, and which she claims as the sign of her authority. It is the spirit of the papacy—the spirit of conformity to worldly customs, the veneration for human traditions above the commandments of God—that is permeating the Protestant churches and leading them on to do the same work of Sunday exaltation which the papacy has done before them.” The Great Controversy, 573.

> I i kit ma tye ka time kombedi i United States me Amerika me miyo ni lwak omed konyo kit ma gicako kede tuk pa kanisa, jo Protestanti tye ka lubo yore pa jo pa Papa. Ento, dok mede, gi tye ka yabo wang ot pi Papasi me dwogo nongo rwom madito i Amerika pa Protestanti, rwom ma en otyeko golo woko i Lobo macon. Kadok, gin ma tero kit man obed ma lamal loyo en ni lubul ma dit ma gicoyo cwiny kwede obedo keto cik me yiko Sande—tuk ma ocake ki Roma, ma en oyero calo alama pa twero pa en. En aye rwom cwiny pa Papasi—rwom cwiny me yibore ki tuk pa piny, kede woro tuk pa dano maloyo cik pa Lubanga—ma dong tye ka rwate iye weng i kanisa pa Protestanti kede kelo gi me timo tic acel keken me yubo Sande malo, ma Papasi otyeko timo con. The Great Controversy, 573.

Tradition and custom are the doctrinal “food” which the beast replaces for the Word of God, in order that it might lift up its pagan idolatry.

Kit ki yore gin ‘kome’ pa cik, ma nyama ma pire tek oketo i kabedo pa Lok pa Lubanga, pi oyiko malo kworo cal pa en me pagani.

> “How the Roman Church can clear herself from the charge of idolatry we cannot see. True, she professes to worship God through these images; so did the Israelites when they bowed before the golden calf. But the Lord’s wrath was kindled against them, and many were slain. God pronounced them impious idolaters, and the same record is made today in the books of heaven against those who adore images of saints and so-called holy men.

> Kit ame Kanisa pa Roma itwero yweyo kene ki kube me pak i bot cal, pe wa neno. Adwogi, gi waco ni gi yaro Lubanga kun cal magi; kamano bende Isirayelit gicimo ka giyweyo wi piny i bot mwana dyang me fee. Ento kec pa Rwot opye botgi, kede jo mapol otho. Lubanga oyaro gi ni jo ma pe tye ki kir, jo me pak i bot cal; kede kombedi bene, kiketo coc acel i buk me polo ikom jo ma yaro cal me jo maleng kede cal me jo ma gipako nying ni jo maleng.

> “And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a change in Catholicism; for Rome never changes. She claims infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of Catholicism. ‘The Bible, the Bible, is the foundation of our faith,’ was the cry of Protestants in Luther’s time, while the Catholics cried, ‘The Fathers, custom, tradition.’ Now many Protestants find it difficult to prove their doctrines from the Bible, and yet they have not the moral courage to accept the truth which involves a cross; therefore they are fast coming to the ground of Catholics, and, using the best arguments they have to evade the truth, cite the testimony of the Fathers, and the customs and precepts of men. Yes, the Protestants of the nineteenth century are fast approaching the Catholics in their infidelity concerning the Scriptures. But there is just as wide a gulf today between Rome and the Protestantism of Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and the noble army of martyrs, as there was when these men made the protest which gave them the name of Protestants.

> En aye dini ma jo Protestant cako neno kwede ki kica madwong tutwal, ma dok con bi rwate ki yore pa jo Protestant. Ento rwate man pe bin timme ki loko i yore pa Katolik; pien Roma pe con oloko. En waco ni pe romo bal. En aye yore pa jo Protestant ma bin loke. Mako paro ma oyot i tunggi bi miyo obed ka romo keto cing kwede yore pa Katolik. “Bibul, Bibul, aye tung me yie wa,” en obedo dwon pa jo Protestant i cawa pa Luther; ento jo Katolik kwaco ni, “Jokwaro, kit, kit me kwaro.” Kombedi, jo Protestant mapol gineno tek me nyutu cikgi i Bibul, ento pe gitye ki dwong me cwinya me yee adwogi ma rwate ki msalaba; ka en aye, gidoko mede cing i piny pa jo Katolik, kede, ka gitiyo kwede lok ma lamal ma gitye gi me dwogo woko adwogi, giyero lamo pa Jokwaro, ki kit, ki cik pa jo.

> “Christ was a protestant. He protested against the formal worship of the Jewish nation, who rejected the counsel of God against themselves. He told them that they taught for doctrines the commandments of men, and that they were pretenders and hypocrites. Like whited sepulchers they were beautiful without, but within full of impurity and corruption. The Reformers date back to Christ and the apostles. They came out and separated themselves from a religion of forms and ceremonies. Luther and his followers did not invent the reformed religion. They simply accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles. The Bible is presented to us as a sufficient guide; but the pope and his workers remove it from the people as if it were a curse, because it exposes their pretensions and rebukes their idolatry.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.

> Kirisito obedo Protestanti. Okede i kom kit lamal ma rwate i kom jo Yuda, jo ma gigengo coco pa Lubanga i tunggi keken. Okwaco gi ni gipwonyo cik pa dano calo doktrin, kede ni gi obedo jo macaco ki hipokriti. Macalo kume ma gigwer ki ryek, gi nining maber i woko, ento iye opong ki impuriti ki korapsion.

Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.

Miracles of healing, that form the basis of spiritualism, are her stock and trade.

Gin ma pire tek me laro, ma gibedo twol pa tic pa tipu, gibedo tic mame keken.

> “Many endeavor to account for spiritual manifestations by attributing them wholly to fraud and sleight of hand on the part of the medium. But while it is true that the results of trickery have often been palmed off as genuine manifestations, there have been, also, marked exhibitions of supernatural power. The mysterious rapping with which modern spiritualism began was not the result of human trickery or cunning, but was the direct work of evil angels, who thus introduced one of the most successful of soul-destroying delusions. Many will be ensnared through the belief that spiritualism is a merely human imposture; when brought face to face with manifestations which they cannot but regard as supernatural, they will be deceived, and will be led to accept them as the great power of God.

> Jo mapol tye ka temo yubu nyutu me tipu, kun gi keto gi weng bot lok me bur ki tiyo ki lwak me cing pa ajwaka. Ento, ka atir ni gin ma obino ki lwak osenongo kicwako ni calo nyutu me atir, bene obedo nyutu ma peya pa teko ma loyo kit me piny.

> “These persons overlook the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the wonders wrought by Satan and his agents. It was by satanic aid that Pharaoh’s magicians were enabled to counterfeit the work of God. Paul testifies that before the second advent of Christ there will be similar manifestations of satanic power. The coming of the Lord is to be preceded by ‘the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10. And the apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days, declares: ‘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.’ Revelation 13:13, 14. No mere impostures are here foretold. Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do.” The Great Controversy, 553.

> Jogi gicayo winy pa Buk Maleng ma waco pi cudi ma Setani ki lati ne otimo. En ki kony pa Setani ni laloc pa Farao ogamo twero me timo calo tic pa Lubanga.

The false doctrines built upon customs and traditions, the spiritualistic manifestations of miracles, the counterfeit medical-industrial industry and the combination of churchcraft with statecraft are all the attributes of the beast of Catholicism. Pride is a characteristic of the dragon power. Presumption is the characteristic of the false prophet of apostate Protestantism.

Pwonye mape atir ma kityeko cweyo iwi kwer ki yore me kit ma, nyutu pa jogi me alama ki yubu, tic me yec kacel ki tic me cweyo ma mape atir, kede keye me yore me kanisa kwede yore me gwoko lobo, gin weng kite pa le pa Katoliki.

> And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:1–4.

> Kun Yesu obedo opong ki Jwii Maleng, odwogo ki Yordan, kede Jwii orwako ne o i thim. I ceng 40 Labolo otemo ne. I ceng meno pe ocamo gin mo; ka ceng meno otyeko, ci obedo lapur. Labolo owacone ni, “Ka in Wod Lubanga, chik ni kidi man obed mugati.” Ento Yesu odwokone, waco ni, “Kigolo ni, Dano pe bi bedo ki mugati keken, ento ki lok weng pa Lubanga.” Luka 4:1-4.

Presumption is a noun that refers to the act or instance of assuming something to be true without sufficient evidence or proof. It involves making a judgment or drawing a conclusion based on incomplete or insufficient information. Presumption can also imply a certain level of confidence in one’s assumption, even when it may not be entirely justified.

Presumption obedo nying ma nyutu tic onyo kare me paro ni gin tye atir, ma pe ki ngec maromo onyo adwogi me nyutu atir. En mito keto cing onyo donyo i agiki ki ngec ma pe opong maber onyo ma pe maromo. Presumption twero bene nyutu rwom mo me geno i paro mamegi, kadi ka pe ki cwec weng.

Apostate Protestantism has accepted Sunday as God’s day of worship without any evidence to support that flawed idea from God’s Word, and they do so while knowingly professing that they are Protestants, whose motto is “God’s word alone,” or as Martin Luther proclaimed, “Sola Scriptura!” They choose to accept it based upon the traditions and customs of the Roman church, or perhaps as simply an accepted inheritance from their forefathers. At the loud cry of the third angel the truth that there is absolutely no justification for worshipping the sun that can be provided from the Bible will be clearly revealed, and then those who continue in their flawed presumption will receive the mark of the beast.

Kit Protestanti ma oremore woko ki adieri obalo Ceng Abicel calo ceng me pako pa Lubanga, kun pe tye ki twero mo keken ki i Lok pa Lubanga me cwalo tam ma pe atir man; kadong ka gi ngeyo maber, gicwalo ni gin Protestanti, ma kong-ditgi tye: “Lok pa Lubanga keken,” macalo Martin Luther omiyo dwon: “Sola Scriptura!” Gin yero cwalo ne malube ki tice ki kit pa Kanisa pa Roma, onyo be calo jami ma kicono ki bot kwaro-gi keken.

> “If the light of truth has been presented to you, revealing the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and showing that there is no foundation in the Word of God for Sunday observance, and yet you still cling to the false sabbath, refusing to keep holy the Sabbath which God calls ‘my holy day,’ you receive the mark of the beast. When does this take place?—When you obey the decree that commands you to cease from labor on Sunday and worship God, while you know that there is not a word in the Bible showing Sunday to be other than a common working-day, you consent to receive the mark of the beast, and refuse the seal of God. If we receive this mark in our foreheads or in our hands, the judgments pronounced against the disobedient must fall upon us. But the seal of the living God is placed upon those who conscientiously keep the Sabbath of the Lord.” Review and Herald, April 27, 1911.

The commonly understood weakness of the Republican party is their willingness to assume their political opponents are fair and honest, when the fruits of the Democratic party clearly reveal that they are the children of the father of lies. Repeatedly and consistently the Republicans take their political opponents at their word, when they have been shown over and over that their opponents never keep their word. They project honest motivations upon those who repeatedly have manifested no rational justification to support the Republicans flawed projections of expected honesty and integrity. It is true also that many Republicans refuse to uphold principle for personal financial gain, or because of secret immoral circumstances that allow them to be easily manipulated, but the primary prophetic attribute of the Republican party is presumption.

Peko ma dano ducu ngeyo i Dul pa Republican en cwinygi ma ohino me yiko ni ludwogi i polotik tye ki kwer ki atir, ka mwonye me tic pa Dul pa Democratic nyutu maler atir ni gin nyith pa Won me lok ma pe atir.

It is the attribute of presumption which is prophetically marked in apostate Protestants, that allows them to pretend they have taken the higher moral and political ground, when in reality they have abdicated their civil responsibilities under the empty expectation that their political opponents will keep their word. The very common definition of insanity is to try and do the same thing over and over, while expecting a different outcome, yet the Republicans argue that it is the Democrats that have been infected with insanity as manifested in their hatred of Trump.

En aye lacaracara me dwong-cwiny ma kinyutu woko i lok me poro i bot jo Protestant ma orweny woko ki yie, ma weko gi yaro calo ni gi okawo kabedo ma malo i kit pa kwo maber ki me polityiko, ka i adwogi gi oweko woko lapok tic me lobo mamegi, kun gi tye ki geno ma peya ni lwenygi me polityiko bigwoko lokgi. Tito ma rwatte tutwal me wali me wi en ni itemo ka itimo gin acel odoco odoco, kun itero adwogi mapat; ento Republican giyaro ni en aye Democrat ma ogamo ki wali me wi, ma nen i kwero mamegi bot Trump.

Yet the insanity of the Republicans is repeatedly illustrated as they agree to compromises, under the premise of compromise being the work of the legislative process, while their political compromises, which they claim are based upon the principle of “the legislative process,” is made with a class who never compromise. Democrats only give ground in the political process when they are fully restrained by the numbers against them. They have never provided evidence of truly working for a middle ground with the political process. The insanity of Republicans is their repeated optimistic expectations of others that are fully unwarranted.

Ento insaniti pa jo Republican ginyutu dok dok ka giyie ki kompromais, labongo ni kompromais en tic pa yore me yubo cik; ento kompromais pa gi me politi, ma gi waco ni otime i pirinsipo pa “yore me yubo cik,” gitye ka timo kwede pwailo pa dano ma pe gitemo kompromais mo keken. Jo Democrat goyo piny keken i yore me politi ka gitye kiwoko tutwal ki namba ma ocoyo gi. Pe ginenyutu keken reco me ni gi tye ka timo adaa pi yubu piny i tung acaki i yore me politi. Insaniti pa jo Republican en kica maber ma gi geno i jo mukene dok dok, ma pe tye ki piny tutwal.

By far and away the majority of those who are supportive of Donald Trump will testify to the fact that the worst attribute of Trump is his willingness to accept men as supporters of his agenda, when the available evidence identifies that it was totally presumption on Trump’s part to make that choice. Presumption is the prophetic attribute of apostate Protestantism. Satan tempted Christ by quoting the Bible, but in so doing, Satan twisted the passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.

Pi rom ma loyo woko, dul madwong pa jo ma cwalo Donald Trump bimiyo twero ni gin mape ber loyo i kit pa Trump, en cwinya pa en me cwako jo macalo lakony pa ajenda pa en, ka ngec ma nyutu tye nyutu ni yero kamano i tung Trump obedo Presamshon opong weng. Presamshon obedo kit me porofetik pa Protestantism ma okwalo adwogi. Satan otemo Kristo ki waco lok me Bibul, ento ka timo kamano, Satan oyiko lok ma oweco oketo i temo ma pe kicwero, ma pe rwate ki Bibul.

> And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Luke 4:9–12.

> En okelone i Yerusalem, oketone i tung me Hekalu, owaco ne ni, “Ka in obedo Wod Lubanga, icwal pire keni piny ki kany; pien kicoyo ni: ‘Obi miyo malaika ne bedo i tung in, me gwoko in; i cengegi gibilwako in malo, pi pe irub cing in i yare.’” Yesu odwoko ne ni, “Kimoko ni: ‘Kik itemo Rwot Lubanga mamegi.’” Luka 4:9-12.

At the soon-coming Sunday law it will be the Protestants of the United States who will take the biblical mandate to cease from labor on the Sabbath day, and twist the commandment to worship God on the seventh-day Sabbath into a fabricated command that it is actually paganism’s day of the sun that men are required to worship upon. They will twist a biblical passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.

> “I saw that the two-horned beast had a dragon’s mouth, and that his power was in his head, and that the decree would go out of his mouth. Then I saw the Mother of Harlots; that the mother was not the daughters, but separate and distinct from them. She has had her day, and it is past, and her daughters, the Protestant sects, were the next to come on the stage and act out the same mind that the mother had when she persecuted the saints. I saw that as the mother has been declining in power, the daughters had been growing, and soon they will exercise the power once exercised by the mother.

> “I saw the nominal church and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to obtain their influence to come against the truth. The saints then will be an obscure people, little known to the Catholics; but the churches and nominal Adventists who know of our faith and customs (for they hated us on account of the Sabbath, for they could not refute it) will betray the saints and report them to the Catholics as those who disregard the institutions of the people; that is, that they keep the Sabbath and disregard Sunday.

> “Then the Catholics bid the Protestants to go forward, and issue a decree that all who will not observe the first day of the week, instead of the seventh day, shall be slain. And the Catholics, whose numbers are large, will stand by the Protestants. The Catholics will give their power to the image of the beast. And the Protestants will work as their mother worked before them to destroy the saints. But before their decree bring or bear fruit, the saints will be delivered by the Voice of God.” Spalding and Magan, 1, 2.
