The last promise of the Old Testament is that before the great and terrible day of the Lord, Elijah would come.

Okusuubiza okwasembayo mu Endagaano Enkadde kwe nti nga telunnatuuka olunaku olunene era olw’entiisa lwa Mukama, Eriya anajja.

> Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Malachi 4:4–5.

> Mujjukire amateeka ga Musa omuddu wange, ge nnamulagira e Horebu olw’Isirayiri yonna, awamu n’ebiragiro n’amasango. Laba, ndibatumira Eriya nnabbi nga tekunnajja olunaku olukulu era olw’entiisa lwa Mukama: Era alikyusa emitima gy’abazadde eri abaana, n’emitima gy’abaana eri abazadde baabwe, obutaba nga njija ne nkuba ensi n’ekikolimo. Malaki 4:4-5.

The Elijah that comes in advance of “the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” is an individual messenger, and also the movement associated with the message the messenger proclaims. The Elijah that is sent is therefore the one hundred and forty-four thousand who do not taste death, just as Enoch and Elijah represent. They are those who are lifted up as an ensign at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Eriya ajja okusooka mu maaso ga "Lunaku olukulu era olw’entiisa lwa Mukama," ye omubaka omu, era n’ekibiina ekikwataganyizibwa n’obubaka omubaka bw’abuulira. N’oolwekyo, Eriya atumwa ye abantu 144,000 abatagenda kulaba kufa, nga Enoka ne Eriya bwe baabeera ekyokulabirako. Be b’abo abatumbulwa ng’akabonero mu kiseera ky’etteeka erya Sande erinaatera okujja.

The last day Elijah was also represented by John the Baptist, but John did not represent the one hundred and forty-four thousand. He represented those who join the movement and accept the message of the last day messenger, who are then murdered by the papacy in the hour of the Sunday law crisis that begins at the soon coming Sunday law and ends when Michael stands up and the papacy comes to its end with none to help.

Era Eriya ow’ennaku ez’enkomerero yayimiririrwa Yokaana Omubatiza, naye Yokaana teyayimirira aba 144,000. Yayimirira abo abegatta ku kibiina ne bakkiriza obubaka bw’omubaka w’ennaku ez’enkomerero, ne battibwa mu mikono gy’Obwa Paapa mu ssaawa ey’akabi k’etteeka lya Sande, ekiseera ekitandikira ku Tteeka lya Sande erijja mu bbanga ttono era ne kiggwawo bwe Mikaeri ayimirira, era Obwa Paapa ne bukoma nga tewali amuyamba.

Elijah is represented on Mount Carmel and John is represented in Herod’s banquet hall. Those two historical witnesses identify the two groups of God’s last day people represented in Revelation chapter seven. The one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude align with Mount Carmel and Herod’s birthday party. Those two prophetic lines provide a sound point of reference to carefully identify the elements of the eighth head, that is of the seven heads in Revelation seventeen, with enough prophetic detail to clarify how and why the last president, which is the eighth president that is of the seven, becomes the great dictator of the United States in the last movements of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

Eriya akiikirirwa ku Lusozi Karmeli, ate Yokaana akiikirirwa mu kisenge ky’embaga kya Kerode. Abajulirwa b’ebyafaayo abo babiri balambulula ebibiina bibiri by’abantu ba Katonda ab’ensangi ez’enkomerero, ebikiikirirwa mu Kubikkulirwa essuula ey’omusanvu. Emitwalo kkumi na nnya n’enkumi nnya n’ekibiina ekinene ennyo bituukagana ne Lusozi Karmeli n’embaga y’amazaalibwa ga Kerode. Ensonda z’obunnabbi ezo ebbiri zituwaddewo ekifo eky’esigika eky’okusinziraako okuzuula n’obwegendereza ebitundu eby’omutwe ogw’omunaana, ogw’okuva mu mitwe musanvu mu Kubikkulirwa essuula ey’ekkumi n’omusanvu, nga birimu n’obulambulukufu obw’obunnabbi obumala okunnyonnyola engeri n’olwaki pulezidenti ow’enkomerero — ali ow’omunaana, ava mu abo omusanvu — afuuka omuduumizi omukulu ow’obukambwe wa Amerika mu ntambula ezisembayo z’obwakabaka obw’omukaaga mu bunabbi bwa Bayibuli.

At the Sunday law the threefold union is accomplished.

Mu kiseera ky'etteeka lya Sande omukago ogw'ensatu gutuukirizibwa.

> “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.

> Olw’ekiragiro ekikakaza enteekateeka y’Obupapa nga kyesittaza ku mateeka ga Katonda, eggwanga lyaffe lijja okwawukana ddala n’obutuukirivu. ObuProtestanti bwe bulinyola omukono ne bukwata ku gw’obuyinza bwa Roma, nga bususse enjawukana eziri wakati wa byo; bwe bulituuka ne busomoka ekiwonvu ne bukwatagana ku mikono n’Obw’emizimu; era, wansi w’obuyinza bw’obumu obw’emirundi esatu buno, eggwanga lyaffe bwe lijja kugaana enteeko zonna eziri mu Ssemateeka waalyo ng’egavumenti ya BuProtestanti era eya Repabulika, ne liteekawo enkola ey’okusaasaanya obulimba n’okukyamya abantu eby’Obupapa, awo tunaamanye nti ekiseera kituuse eky’omulimu ogw’ekitalo ogwa Setaani, era nti enkomerero eri kumpi. Obujulizi, Voliyumu 5, omuko 451.

Yet in this illustration there is a sequence, and that sequence is a subject of the inspired word. It is an event that happens at the decree, which in one sense is a singular event, but it is actually a very careful sequence of events. At the “decree” the United States ceases to be the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, which means that it is there that the seventh kingdom begins, but the seventh kingdom agrees to give their kingdom unto the beast. When the false prophet is defeated, the dragon takes its position, and immediately gives half its kingdom to the beast.

Wabula mu kufaananyiriza kuno mulimu olunyiriri, era olwo olunyiriri lubeera nsonga eyoogerwako mu Byawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu. Kino kye kintu ekibaawo mu kiragiro; mu ngeri emu kiba kintu kimu, naye mu butuufu kiba olunyiriri lw’ebintu oluteekateekebwa n’obwegendereza bungi. Mu “kiragiro” Amerika ereka okuba obwakabaka obw’omukaaga mu by’obunnabbi bya Bayibuli, ekitegeeza nti awo we watandikira obwakabaka obw’omusanvu; naye obwakabaka obw’omusanvu bukiriza okuwa obwakabaka bwabwo eri ensolo. Bw’awangulwa omunnabbi w’obulimba, omusota omukulu atwala ekifo kye, era amangu ddala awa ensolo ekitundu eky’obwakabaka bwe ekya emu ku bibiri.

At Mount Carmel, there were four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and there four hundred prophets of the grove who were in Samaria eating at Jezebel’s table.

Ku Lusozi Carmel, waaliwo banabbi ba Baal 450, era waaliwo banabbi b’ekibira 400 abaali mu Samaria nga balya ku mmeeza ya Jezebel.

> Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table. 1 Kings 18:19.

> Kale kaakano tuma, era kuŋŋaanya eri nze Isirayiri yonna ku Lusozi Kalumeeri, n’abannabbi ba Baali ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’abannabbi b’ebisiko ebikumi bina, abalya ku mmeeza ya Yezebeli. 1 Bassekabaka 18:19.

Elijah identifies the confrontation at Mount Carmel as a controversy, not only the question of who was the true God, but also that it was a controversy over who was the true prophet.

Eriya ategeeza nti okusisinkana okwabaawo ku Lusozi Kalumeeri kwali empaka, si kyokka ku kibuzo ekya ani ye Katonda omutuufu, naye era kwali empaka ku kibuzo ekya ani ye nnabbi omutuufu.

> Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 1 Kings 18:22.

> Awo Eriya n'agamba abantu nti, Nze, nze nzekka, nsigadde nnabbi wa Mukama; naye bannabbi ba Baali bali ebikumi bina mu ataano. 1 Bassekabaka 18:22.

When Elijah’s offering was consumed by the fire that came down out of heaven, he then slew the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal with his own hands.

Bwe omuliro ogwava mu ggulu ne gukka ne gulyawo ssaddaaka ya Eriya, n’alyoka n’abatta n’engalo ze yennyini bannabbi ba Baali ebikumi bina mu amakumi ataano.

> And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. 1 Kings 18:40.

> Ne Eriya n’abagamba, Mubakwate bannabbi ba Baali; temuleka n’omu ku abo yeewona. Ne babakwata; ne Eriya n’abatwala ku kagga Kisoni, n’abatta eyo. 1 Bassekabaka 18:40.

Baal was a false masculine deity, and the four hundred prophets of the grove, who were still with Jezebel, eating at her table in the city of Samaria were the prophets of the female deity, Ashtaroth. The female deity survived Elijah’s slaughter of the prophets of Mount Carmel.

Baal yali katonda ow’obulimba omusajja, era bannabbi b’ekibira bikumi bina, abaali bakyali ne Jezebel nga balya ku mmeeza ye mu kibuga kya Samaria, be bannabbi ba katonda omukazi Ashtaroth. Katonda omukazi yawonye okutta bannabbi okwakolebwa Elijah ku Lusozi Carmel.

> “The people upon the mountain prostrate themselves in terror and awe before the unseen God. They cannot look upon the bright, consuming fire sent from Heaven. They fear that they will be consumed in their apostasy and sins. They cry out with one voice, which resounds over the mountain, and echoes to the plains below them with terrible distinctness, ‘The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.’ Israel is at last aroused and undeceived. They see their sin and how greatly they have dishonored God. Their anger is aroused against the prophets of Baal. With fearful terror, Ahab and Baal’s priests witnessed the wonderful exhibition of Jehovah’s power. Again is heard, in startling words of command, the voice of Elijah to the people, ‘Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.’ And the people were ready to obey the word of Elijah. They seized the false prophets who had deluded them, and brought them to the brook Kishon, and there Elijah, with his own hand, slew these idolatrous priests.” Review and Herald, October 7, 1873.

> Abantu abali ku lusozi bagwa wansi ne bafukamira mu ntiisa n’okwewuunya mu maaso ga Katonda atalabika. Tebasobola kutunuulira omuliro ogwaka nnyo ogw’okwokya byonna ogwatumwa okuva mu ggulu. Batya nti bajja okutookebwa olw’okuvuddemu okukkiriza n’ebibi byabwe. Bakaabira wamu n’eddoboozi limu, ne liwuuma ku lusozi lyonna, ne liddirira mu matale agali wansi waabwe mu butereevu obutya nnyo, ‘Mukama, ye Katonda; Mukama, ye Katonda.’ Isirayiri kati azuukuse era tebakyalimbiddwa. Babona ekibi kyabwe n’engeri gye bamenye nnyo ekitiibwa kya Katonda. Obusungu bwabwe buzukira ku bannabbi ba Baali. Mu ntiisa ennene, Akabu n’abasaserdooti ba Baali baalaba obulaga obw’ewuunyisa bw’amaanyi ga Yehova. Era ne waddaawo okuwulirwa eddoboozi lya Eriya eri abantu mu bigambo ebyakankanya eby’ekiragiro nti, ‘Mubakwate bannabbi ba Baali; temuleka n’omu ku bo adduka.’ Era abantu baali bateeseteese okugondera ekigambo kya Eriya. Ne bakwata bannabbi ab’obulimba abaababuzaabuza, ne babatwala ku akagga Kisoni, era eyo Eriya n’omukono gwe bwennyini n’attira bano abasaserdooti abasinza ebifaananyi. Review and Herald, Okitobba 7, 1873.

Mount Carmel typifies the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. It is then that the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand (typified by Elijah), is lifted up. It is there that the genuine Protestant horn is distinctly manifested in contrast with the counterfeit Protestant horn, who is in Samaria, eating Jezebel’s diet. It is there that the Republican horn that had become the horn of both church and state leading up to Mount Carmel comes to its end as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. What remains then is Ahab, and his tenfold nation, and Jezebel, who has been hiding in Samaria, while she dines with apostate Protestants. The sixth kingdom is finished, and the rain then comes without measure.

Mount Carmel kiyamiririra etteeka lya Ssande erijja mangu mu United States. Lwe lwo ekibendera kya 144,000 (nga Eriya ye kifaanaanyi kyabwe) kitumbulwa. Wewaddira we walabisibwa bulungi empondo y’Abaprotestanti ey’amazima, ng’egerageranyiziddwa ne empondo y’Abaprotestanti ey’obulimba, ali mu Samaria, ng’aly’emmere ya Yezabele. Wewaddira era empondo eya Republican, eyafuuka empondo ey’ekkanisa n’ebyobufuzi okutuusa mu kiseera kya Mount Carmel, eggwawo nga ky’obwakabaka obw’omukaaga mu bunnabbi bwa Baibuli. Ebisigalawo olwo bye bino: Akabu, n’eggwanga lye ery’emirundi kkumi, ne Yezabele, abadde yeekwese mu Samaria, ng’aly’awamu n’Abaprotestanti abajeemu. Obwakabaka obw’omukaaga buggwawo, era oluvannyuma enkuba ejja nga tekipimiddwa.

At Herod’s birthday party, Elijah, represented by John the Baptist is in the Roman prison awaiting deliverance or death. There are no prophets of Baal to accomplish the dance of deception, just Salome, Jezebel’s daughter. Herod and his royal friends are drunk with the wine of Babylon, for his birthday also represents the Sunday law, and all nations began to drink the wine of Babylon on September 11, 2001, well before the soon coming Sunday law.

Mu mbaga y’amazaalibwa ga Herode, Eriya, akiikirirwa Yokaana Omubatiza, ali mu kkomera ly’Abaloma ng’alindirira okulokolebwa oba okufa. Tewali bannabbi ba Baali okukola omuzina ogw’obulimba, wabula Salome, muwala wa Yezeberi. Herode ne mikwano gye egy’obwakabaka batamiidde ku mwenge gwa Babulooni, kubanga n’amazaalibwa ge gakiikirira etteeka lya Sande, era amawanga gonna baatandika okunywa omwenge gwa Babulooni nga 11 Ssettemba 2001, nga dda nnyo nga etteeka lya Sande ekinaatera okujja mangu tekinnaba kutuuka.

> And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:1–3.

> Awo oluvannyuma lw’ebyo nalaba malayika omulala ng’akka okuva mu ggulu, ng’alina amaanyi amanene; n’ensi n’eyaka olw’ekitiibwa kye. N’akaaba n’eddoboozi ery’amaanyi nnyo, ng’agamba nti, Babulooni omukulu agudde, agudde, era afuuse ekifo eky’okubeeramu baddayimooni, ne kkomera ly’emyoyo gyonna egy’obutali butukuvu, n’ekisiba ky’ebinyonyi byonna ebitali bitukuvu era ebyenyinyalwa. Kubanga amawanga gonna banywedde ku wayini w’obusungu bw’obwenzi bwe, n’abakabaka b’ensi bakoze naye obwenzi, n’abasuubuzi b’ensi bafuuse abagagga olw’obungi bw’eby’obugwagwa bye. Okubikkulirwa 18:1-3.

These three verses were fulfilled when the great buildings of New York, the twin towers were thrown down by a touch of God.

Ebyawandiikibwa bino bisatu byatuukirira ng’ebizimbe ebikulu eby’e New York, eminara ebbiri, byagwisibwa olw’okukwatako kwa Katonda.

> “Now comes the word that I have declared that New York is to be swept away by a tidal wave? This I have never said. I have said, as I looked at the great buildings going up there, story after story, ‘What terrible scenes will take place when the Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth! Then the words of Revelation 18:1–3 will be fulfilled.’ The whole of the eighteenth chapter of Revelation is a warning of what is coming on the earth. But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God’s power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the Lord, one touch of his mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine.” Review and Herald, July 5, 1906.

> Kati wajje ekigambo nti nnategeeza nti New York ejja kusumulukibwa amayengo amanene g’enyanja? Ekyo ssaakyogeddeko. Nnagamba nti, nga ntunuulira ebizimbe ebinene ebyali bigulumizibwa eyo waggulu ku waggulu, nti, ‘Ebifaanaanyi eby’entiisa ki ebiribaawo Mukama bw’anaayimirira okukankanya ensi nnyo! Awo ebigambo eby’Okubikkulirwa 18:1-3 bijja kutuukirira.’ Omutwe ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana gw’Okubikkulirwa gwonna kwe kulabula ku ebigenda okujja ku nsi. Naye sirina musana gw’enjawulo ku by’egenda okujja ku New York, wabula kye mmanyi kwe nti olunaku lumu ebizimbe ebinene ebiri eyo bijja kusuulibwansi ng’amaanyi ga Katonda galibikyusa ne galibitembereza. Mu musana gwe bampa, mmanyi nti okuzikirira kuli mu nsi. Ekigambo kimu okuva eri Mukama, okukwatako kumwe kw’amaanyi ge amanene, ne bino ebizimbe ebinene bigwa. Bijja kubaawo ebifaanaanyi eby’entiisa ebitalyewerezebwa mu birowoozo byaffe. Review and Herald, July 5, 1906.

The soon coming Sunday law is represented by the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, and it represents Ahab’s Mount Carmel, and Herod’s birthday party. Herodias, who is also Jezebel, is not present at Herod’s drunken party, just as Jezebel was absent from Mount Carmel. Until the Sunday law, she has been forgotten during the seventy symbolic years of the reign of the earth beast, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. When Jezebel received her deadly wound in 1798 and 1799, the sixth kingdom (the United States) began its term as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. When the sixth kingdom ends, she then returns and begins to sing her songs and commits fornication with all the nations on earth.

Etteeka erya Sande erituuka mu bwangu liyimiririrwa ddoboozi ery’okubiri ery’Okubikkulirwa essuula ey’ekkumi n’omunaana, era liyimirira Olusozi Kameri ogw’Akabu ne mbaga y’amazaalibwa eya Kerode. Kerodiya, ate era ye Yezebeli, teyeetaba mu mbaga y’obutamiivu eya Kerode, nga Yezebeli bwe yabadde tewali ku Olusozi Kameri. Okutuusa ku tteeka erya Sande, yabadde erabiddwa mu myaka ensanvu egy’ekifaananyi egy’obufuzi bw’ekisolo ekyava mu nsi, obwakabaka obw’omukaaga mu bunnabbi bwa Bayibuli. Bwe Yezebeli yafuna ekiwundu eky’okufa mu 1798 ne 1799, obwakabaka obw’omukaaga (United States) ne butandika ekiseera kyabwo ng’obwakabaka obw’omukaaga mu bunnabbi bwa Bayibuli. Bwe guggwaawo obwakabaka obw’omukaaga, olwo n’adda n’atandika okuyimba ennyimba ze era n’akola obwenzi n’amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi.

Her songs of fornication and wine was prophetically initiated on September 11, 2001, but that was simply the period of preparation, as had been represented by the thirty years from 508, unto 538, the first time she took the throne. Up until the Sunday law, when the sixth kingdom is slain by the hands of Elijah, she has been hidden in Samaria. At that point John the Baptist is being held in her prison, awaiting either deliverance or death.

Ennyimba ze ez'obwenzi n'omwenge zaatandikibwa mu buwanuzi nga September 11, 2001, naye ekyo kyali kyokka ekiseera eky'eteekateeka, nga bwe kyali kyeragiddwa mu myaaka amakumi asatu okuva mu 508 okutuuka mu 538, olubereberye lwe yatuula ku ntebe y'obwakabaka. Okutuusa ku tteeka lya Ssande, lwe obwakabaka obw'omukaaga bunaakuttibwa mu mikono gya Eriya, abadde akwekeddwa mu Samaliya. Mu kiseera ekyo Yokaana Omubatiza abeera akuumirwa mu kkomera lye, ng'alindirira okununulibwa oba okufa.

Herod and his noble friends were drunk with the wine of Babylon, when Salome, the daughter of Herodias (Jezebel), performed her highly seductive dance, and Herod manifests his lustful and incestual desires. He is fully captivated by his step-daughters’ sexual overtures, and offers her up to half his kingdom.

Herod ne mikwano gye ab’ekitiibwa baali batamidde ku mwenge gwa Babulooni, awo Salome, muwala wa Herodias (Jezebel), bwe yazina ekizina ekisendasenda nnyo, ne Herod n’alaga ebyegomba eby’omubiri eby’obusiyazi n’eby’okwegatta n’ab’oluganda. Akwatiddwa ddala olw’okusendasenda okw’obusiyazi okw’abawala ba mukyala we, n’amusuubiza okumuwa okutuuka ne ku kitundu ky’obwakabaka bwe.

> And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. Mark 6:21–28.

> Era awo bwe yatuuka olunaku olusasanye, Herode ku lunaku lwe lw’amazaalibwa n’ategeka ekijjulo eri abakungu be, abaduumizi b’eggye abakulu, n’abakulu ab’e Ggaliraaya; awo omuwala wa Herodiya bwe yayingira n’azina, n’asanyusa Herode n’abo abaatudde naye, kabaka n’agamba omuwala nti, Saba ku nze kyonna ky’oyagala, era nkikuwa. Era n’amulayirira nti, Kyonna kyonna ky’onoonsaba ku nze, nkikuwa, okutuusa ne ku kitundu eky’obwakabaka bwange. Awo n’afuluma n’agamba nnyina nti, Nsabe ki? N’amuddamu nti, Mutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatizi. Amangu ddala n’ayingira eri kabaka, n’asaba ng’agamba nti, Njagala onguwe mangu ddala mu kisaani mutwe gwa Yokaana Omubatizi. Kabaka n’anakuwala nnyo; naye olw’olulayiro lwe, ne lw’abo abaatudde naye, teyamugaana. Amangu ago kabaka n’atuma omusajja ow’okutta, n’amulagira aleete omutwe gwe; n’agenda n’amutemako omutwe mu kkomera, n’aleeta omutwe gwe mu kisaani, n’aguwa omuwala; omuwala n’aguwa nnyina. Makko 6:21-28.

The first voice of Revelation eighteen sounded on September 11, 2001, and the second voice sounds at the soon coming Sunday law. In the history represented in John chapter six, the first voice of 2001 was the voice of Christ informing His disciples that they must eat His flesh and drink His blood, for He was the true Bread of Heaven. That period began in Galilee and ended with a purging of His disciples who turned away from Him in John chapter SIX, verse SIXTY-SIX. That history began at Galilee with a dietary test, and ended at the enforcement of the mark of the beast, as typified by the number of the pope’s name, which is SIX, SIX, SIX. Galilee means “turning point,” and September 11, 2001 was a prophetic “turning point” (Galilee), and Herod’s birthday was with the leadership of Galilee. The beginning voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, and the ending voice of Revelation eighteen, are both represented by Galilee, which is a turning point.

Eddoboozi eryasooka ery’Okubikkulirwa essuula kkumi n’omunaana lyawulirwa nga Settemba 11, 2001, era eddoboozi ery’okubiri lijja kuwulirwa ng’etteeka lya Ssande ligenda okuteekebwako mangu. Mu byafaayo ebyeragereddwamu mu Yokaana essuula mukaaga, eddoboozi eryasooka erya 2001 lyali eddoboozi lya Kristo ng’ategeeza abayigirizwa be nti balina okulya omubiri gwe n’okunywa omusaayi gwe, kubanga ye Omugaati ow’amazima oguva mu ggulu. Ekiseera ekyo kyatandika mu Galiraaya era ne kiggwa nga bangi ku bayigirizwa be bamuvuddeko, nga bwe kirabika mu Yokaana essuula 6, olunyiriri 66. Ebyafaayo ebyo byaatandiikira mu Galiraaya n’ekigezo ku by’emmere, era ne bikkomekera ku kussa mu nkola n’amaanyi kw’akabonero k’ensolo, nga bwe kiragibwa mu nnamba ey’erinnya lya Papa, eri 6, 6, 6. Galiraaya kitegeeza “ekiseera eky’okukyuka,” ate ne Settemba 11, 2001 kyaali “okukyuka okw’obunnabbi” (Galiraaya), era olunaku lw’amazaalibwa ga Kerode lwali wamu n’obukulembeze bwa Galiraaya. Eddoboozi ery’okutandika ery’Okubikkulirwa essuula kkumi n’omunaana, n’eddoboozi ery’okukoma ery’Okubikkulirwa essuula kkumi n’omunaana, byombi biyimirirwa Galiraaya, ekiseera eky’okukyuka.

> “There are lessons to be learned from the history of the past; and attention is called to these, that all may understand that God works on the same lines now that He ever has done. His hand is seen in His work and among the nations now, just the same as it has been ever since the gospel was first proclaimed to Adam in Eden.

> Waliwo eby’okuyigira okuva mu byafaayo ebyayita; era essira liteekeddwako ku bino, buli omu alyoke ategeere nti Katonda akolera mu nkola y’emu kaakano nga bwe yakikolanga bulijjo. Omukono gwe gulabikira mu mulimu gwe era mu mawanga kaakano, nga kye kimu ddala nga bwe kibadde okuva lwe Enjiri yasooka okulangirirwa eri Adamu mu Edeni.

> “There are periods which are turning points in the history of nations and of the church. In the providence of God, when these different crises arrive, the light for that time is given. If it is received, there is spiritual progress; if it is rejected, spiritual declension and shipwreck follow. The Lord in His word has opened up the aggressive work of the gospel as it has been carried on in the past, and will be in the future, even to the closing conflict, when Satanic agencies will make their last wonderful movement.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.

> Waliwo ebiseera ebifuuka entikko y’okukyuka mu byafaayo by’amawanga era ne mu by’ekkanisa. Mu bw’entegeka ya Katonda, bwe bituuka ebizibu bino ebikulu eby’enjawulo, omusana ogw’ekiseera ekyo guweebwa. Bwe gukkirizibwa, wabaawo okutera mu maaso mu by’omwoyo; bwe gaweebwa emabega, wabaawo okugwa wansi mu by’omwoyo n’okuzikirira. Mukama mu Kigambo kye abikkulidde omulimu ogw’Enjiri ogw’obuvumu, nga bwe gwakolebwa mu biseera ebyayita era nga bwe gunaakolebwa mu biseera eby’omu maaso, okutuuka ddala ku lutalo olw’enkomerero, ng’abakolerera Setaani banaakola entambula yaabwe eyasembayo ey’ewuunyisa. Bible Echo, Agusito 26, 1895.

Galilee at 2001, and Galilee at the soon coming Sunday law, identify when the light of the latter rain is poured out. In 2001 it was a measured outpouring, but at the second voice it is poured out without measure, as represented by the tremendous outpouring after Elijah slew the prophets of Baal, which occurred at Herod’s birthday party. Herod’s birthday identifies the birth of the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy, which immediately follows the death of the preceding kingdom. The United States began to reign in 1798, at the death of the fifth kingdom, and at the death of the prophets of Baal, the seventh kingdom’s birthday has arrived. That seventh kingdom is represented by Ahab’s tenfold kingdom of the north, and by Herod, a representative of the tenfold northern kingdom of pagan Rome.

Galiraaya mu 2001, ne Galiraaya ku tteeka lya Ssande erijja mu banga ttono, biraga ekiseera lwe ekitangaala ky’enkuba ey’oluvannyuma kifukibwa. Mu 2001 kyali kufukibwa mu kipimo, naye ku ddoboozi ery’okubiri kifukibwa nga tewali kipimo, nga kiragirwa mu kifaananyi ky’okufukibwa okunene ennyo oluvannyuma Eriya bwe yattira bannabbi ba Baali, ekyaliwo ku mukolo gw’amazaalibwa ga Kerode. Amazalibwa ga Kerode galaga okuzaalibwa kw’obwakabaka obw’omusanvu mu bunnabbi bwa Bayibuli, obugoberera amangu ddala okufa kw’obwakabaka obwaabuliko. Amawanga Amagatte g’Amerika gatandika okufuga mu 1798, ng’obwakabaka obw’okutaano bwe bwafiira, era bwe baafa bannabbi ba Baali, olunaku lw’amazaalibwa lw’obwakabaka obw’omusanvu lutuuse. Obwakabaka obwo obw’omusanvu bukiragirwa ng’obwakabaka bwa Akabu obw’omu Bukiikaddyo obw’ebitundu kkumi, era ne Kerode, akiikirira obwakabaka obw’omu Bukiikaddyo obw’ebitundu kkumi bwa Loma ey’obupagani.

> And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:16–18.

> Enkoona kkumi ze walaba ku nsolo, ezo zijja okukyawa omukazi omwenzi, ne zimuzikiriza era ne zimuleka mu bwereere, ne zirya ennyama ye, ne zimuyokya n’omuliro. Kubanga Katonda abateekedde mu mitima gyabwe okutuukiriza okwagala kwe, era okukkiriziganya, era okuwa obwakabaka bwabwe eri ensolo, okutuusa ebigambo bya Katonda lwe binaatuukirira. Era omukazi gwe walaba ye kibuga ekinene ekyo, ekifuga bakabaka b’ensi. Okubikkulirwa 17:16-18.

Herod agrees to fulfill the oath he made to Salome, and give her the head of John, and his oath was represented as up to half his kingdom. The ten kings of the United Nations, in spite of hating the whore, agree to give their seventh kingdom unto the eighth head, that is of the seven previous heads. They agree to a kingdom that is premised upon the combination of the worldwide State, being combined with her worldwide Church. But the marriage is a Latin marriage, not an English marriage, for their marriage is represented by the “woman” reigning “over the kings.” In a Latin marriage the family retains the woman’s surname, not the mans’, and the name of this twofold marriage is an important element of the prophetic narrative.

Herode akkiriza okutuukiriza ekirayiro kye yakola eri Salome, era amuwa omutwe gwa Yokaana, era ekirayiro kye kyayogerwa nga kisobola okutuuka ne ku kitundu ky’obwakabaka bwe. Abassekabaka kkumi b’Amawanga Amagatte, newaakubadde nga bakyawa omukazi malaya, bakkiriza okuwa obwakabaka bwabwe obw’omusanvu eri omutwe ogw’omunaana, oguva mu emitwe omusanvu egyasooka. Bakkiriziganya ku bwakabaka obwazimbiddwa ku kugatta Gavumenti ey’ensi yonna ne Ekkanisa ye ey’ensi yonna. Naye obufumbo buno bufumbo bwa Lakatini, so si bufumbo bw’Olungereza, kubanga obufumbo bwabwe bulagirwa mu "mukazi" afuuga "abassekabaka." Mu bufumbo bwa Lakatini amaka gakuuma erinnya ery’omuddiring’anwa ery’omukazi, so si ery’omusajja, era erinnya ly’obufumbo buno obubili lye kintu eky’omugaso ennyo mu emboozi ey’obunnabbi.

> “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.

> Bassekabaka, abakulembeze n’abagavana beteekeko akabonero ka Antikristo, era bafaananyiziddwa ng’ejjoka erigenda okulwana n’abatukuvu—n’abo abakuuma ebiragiro bya Katonda era abalina okukkiriza kwa Yesu. Obujulirwa eri Abasumba, 38.

> The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. . .. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. Isaiah 2:1–3, 4:1–4.

> Ekigambo Isaaya, mutabani wa Amozi, kye yalaba ku Yuda ne Yerusaalemi. Era mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma kinaabaawo nti olusozi olw’ennyumba ya Mukama lijjimirizibwa ku ntikko z’ensozi, era liddundubizibwa okusinga obusozi; amawanga gonna galikulukuta okugenda gyalyo. Era abantu bangi baligenda ne bagamba nti, Mujje, tugende ku lusozi lwa Mukama, mu nnyumba ya Katonda wa Yakobo; era alituyigiriza amakubo ge, naffe tulitambulira mu nzira ze: kubanga mu Sayuuni mw’enaava etteeka, n’ekigambo kya Mukama mu Yerusaalemi. . .. Era ku lunaku olwo abakazi musanvu balikwatira omusajja omu, nga bagamba nti, Tulirya emmere yaffe, era tunaayambala ebyambalo byaffe: naye tuyitibwe mu linnya lyo bokka, okuggyawo ensonyi yaffe. Ku lunaku olwo ettabi lya Mukama liriba ery’obulungi n’ery’ekitiibwa, n’ebibala by’ensi biriba birungi nnyo era birabika bulungi eri abo abaawonye mu Isirayiri. Era kinaabanga nti asigadde mu Sayuuni, n’oyo asigadde mu Yerusaalemi, aliyitibwanga mutukuvu, ye buli muntu yenna awandiikiddwa mu balamu mu Yerusaalemi: Mukama bw’anaaba amaze okunaaza obukyafu bw’abawala ba Sayuuni, era n’okusangula omusaayi gwa Yerusaalemi okuva wakati mu yo mu mwoyo ogw’okusala omusango ne mu mwoyo ogw’okwokya. Isaaya 2:1-3, 4:1-4.
