The book The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, was written by Malachi Martin, and it was first published in 1990. Martin examines the role of Pope John Paul II as a transformative figure in global politics and diplomacy during the latter half of the 20th century. He discusses the Pope’s role in the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. The book presents a Catholic perspective of the dynamics that brought about the fulfillment of verse forty of Daniel eleven, at the time of the end in 1989.

Ekitabo The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, kyawandiikibwa Malachi Martin, era kyasooka okufulibwa mu 1990. Martin yeekenneenya obuvunaanyizibwa bwa Paapa Yokaana Pawulo II ng’omuntu eyaleeta enkyukakyuka mu by’obufuzi eby’ensi yonna ne mu by’okukolagana mu mawanga mu kitundu eky’oluvannyuma eky’ekyasa eky’amakumi abiri. Ayogera ku buvunaanyizibwa bwa Paapa mu kugwa kw’Obukomyunisiti mu Buvanjuba bwa Bulaaya. Ekitabo kino kiraga endowooza y’Obukatoliki ku nkola n’embeera ebyaleeta okutuukirizibwa kw’olunyiriri olw’amakumi ana olwa Danyeri kkumi n’emu, mu kiseera eky’enkomerero mu 1989.

Martin analyzes the internal dynamics of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, particularly focusing on Gorbachev’s policies of “glasnost” (openness) and “perestroika” (restructuring). He discusses the challenges facing the Soviet Union and Gorbachev’s attempts to reform the Communist system. He explores the geopolitical tensions and power struggles between the Soviet Union (the king of the south—the dragon), the Catholic Church (the king of the north—the beast), and what he calls the capitalist West (the king of the north’s proxy army—the false prophet). He discusses the ideological conflicts, espionage, and covert operations that characterized the Cold War era and examines the efforts of various actors to shape the future of the world.

Martin akebera obutambulira bw’omunda bwa Yuniya ya Sovyeti wansi w’obukulembeze bwa Mikhail Gorbachev, nga kisukka ddala ku nkola z’obufuzi za Gorbachev ez’e “glasnost” (obutangaavu) n’eza “perestroika” (okuteekateeka bupya). Ayogera ku bizibu ebyalinda Yuniya ya Sovyeti n’okugezako kwa Gorbachev okutereeza enteekateeka ya Kikomunisiti. Atunulira obuvuyo mu pulitiki y’ensi yonna n’okulwanagana ku buyinza wakati wa Yuniya ya Sovyeti (kabaka w’amaserengeta - omusota), Ekkanisa ya Katoliki (kabaka w’obukiikakkono - ekisolo), n’ebyo by’ayita Ebugwanjuba ery’obukaputaliyisimu (eggye erya kabaka w’obukiikakkono erimukolera mu kifo - nnabbi w’obulimba). Ayogera ku ntalo z’endiwozeso, obutasi, n’emirimu egy’ekyama ebyali eby’okumanyikirira mu mulembe gwa “Cold War”, era akebera obukawefube bw’abantu ab’enjawulo okutondekera ensi ebiseera eby’omu maaso.

Martin emphasizes the significance of Catholicism as a force in global politics and diplomacy. He argues that the Catholic Church, under the leadership of Pope John Paul II, played a pivotal role in shaping the course of history during this period and influencing the outcome of the Cold War. He places John Pauls’ influence in the context of the Marian apparitions at Fatima, Portugal, and identifies the influence of Fatima upon global events and the Catholic Church’s role in shaping the course of history. Martin suggests that the events at Fatima hold significant prophetic and geopolitical implications, particularly in the context of the Cold War era.

Martin ayogerera ddala ku bukulu bw’ObuKatolika ng’amaanyi mu by’obufuzi eby’ensi yonna n’obukwanaganya bw’amawanga. Agamba nti Ekkanisa Katolika, ng’ekulembeddwa Papa Yokaana Pawulo ey’Okubiri, yalina omugaso omunene mu kutondawo engeri gye byafaayo byatambulamu mu kaseera kano era n’okukosa ebyavuddeyo mu Olutalo olunyogovu. Ateeka obuyiiya bwa Yokaana Pawulo mu mbeera y’okulabikira kwa Bikira Maria e Fatima, Potugaali, era alambulula engeri Fatima gye yakosezza ebintu eby’ensi yonna n’omugabo gwa Ekkanisa Katolika mu kutondawo ekkubo ly’ebyafaayo. Martin alaga nti ebyaliwo e Fatima birimu obulagirizi obw’obunnabbi n’ensonga ez’ebyobufuzi by’amawanga n’ensalo ez’omugaso nnyo, okusinga mu mbeera y’emulembe gw’Olutalo olunyogovu.

Martin explores the three secrets of Fatima, which were allegedly revealed by the Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in Fatima in 1917. He suggests that the third secret, which was initially kept secret by the Vatican and only revealed in 2000, contained apocalyptic warnings about the future of the Catholic Church and the world. Martin argues that the events at Fatima, including the apparitions and the messages conveyed by the Virgin Mary, had significant implications for global politics and the struggle between communism and capitalism during the Cold War era.

Martin atunuulira ebyama bisatu eby’e Fatima, ebigambibwa nti byategeezebwa Bikira Maria eri abaana abasumba abato basatu e Fatima mu 1917. Alaga nti ekyama eky’okusatu, ekyasooka okuterekebwa nga kyama ku Vatikaani era ne kyalangirirwa mu mwaka gwa 2000 yokka, kyalimu obulabula obw’enkomerero y’ensi obwakwata ku biseera eby’omu maaso eby’Ekkanisa Katoliki n’ensi yonna. Martin agamba nti ebyaliwo e Fatima, omuli okulabikira kwa Bikira Maria n’obubaka bwe yawa, byalina amakulu amanene ku by’obufuzi eby’ensi yonna era ne ku lutalo wakati wa Komunizimu ne Kapitalizimu mu bbanga ly’Entalo Ennyogoga.

Martin highlights the role of Pope John Paul II as a key figure in the fulfillment of the prophecies of Fatima. He suggests that John Paul II saw himself as the “bishop in white” mentioned in the third secret of Fatima and that he viewed his papacy as a mission to confront the forces of evil and promote spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church and society at large.

Martin alaga ekifo kya Papa Yokaana Pawulu II ng’omuntu omukulu ennyo mu kutuukirizibwa kw’obunnabbi bwa Fatima. Alowooza nti Yokaana Pawulu II ye yeeraba ng’“omulabirizi mu byeru” eyayogerwako mu ekyama ekya ssatu ekya Fatima, era nti yalaba obwa Papa bwe nga obutumwa bw’okulwanyisa amaanyi ag’obubi n’okutumbula okuzuukirizibwa okw’eby’omwoyo mu Kkanisa Katolika ne mu mbuga y’abantu mu bugazi bwayo.

Martin suggests that the messages of Fatima emphasized the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for the Catholic Church to confront the forces of evil, both within and outside the Church. He argues that the events at Fatima provided a spiritual and moral framework for understanding and addressing the challenges facing humanity in the modern world. The Fatima messages represent the satanic message which conditions Catholicism to accept Satan as Christ, when he “personates” Christ at the soon coming Sunday law.

Martin ategeeza nti obubaka bwa Fatima bwalaga obukulu bw’olutalo olw’omwoyo n’obwetaavu bwa Kkanisa ya Katoliki okusisinkana n’amaanyi g’obubi, munda mu Kkanisa n’ebweru waayo. Agamba nti ebyaabaddewo e Fatima byawa enteekateeka y’omwoyo n’ey’empisa ey’okutegeera n’okuddamu ku bisoomooza ebiri mu maaso g’abantu mu mulembe guno. Obubaka bwa Fatima bukiikirira obubaka bwa Setaani obuteeka ObuKatoliki mu mbeera okukkiriza Setaani nga Kristo, mu kiseera ky’etteeka lya Ssande erigenda okujja mangu, nga bw’anaaba yeeyisa ng’a Kristo.

> “Satan will work miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.

> Sitaani ajja kukola eby’amagero okulimba abo abatudde ku nsi. Obw’emizimu bujja kukola omulimu gwabwo nga buviirako abantu okweyita ng’abafu. Ebitongole by’eddiini ebyegaana okuwulira obubaka bwa Katonda obw’okulabula bijja kulimbibwamu nnyo, era bijja okwegatta n’obuyinza bwa gavumenti okubonyaabonya abatukuvu. Amakanisa g’Abaprotestanti gajja okwegatta n’obuyinza bw’obwapapa mu kubonyaabonya abantu ba Katonda abakwata obiragiro. Kino kye buyinza ekireeta enteekateeka ennene ey’okubonyaabonya, ejja okukozesa obufuzi obukambwe mu by’omwoyo ku mitima gy’abantu.

> “‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.

> "Yalina empondo bbiri ng'endiga, era yayogera ng'ennyoka enkulu." Newaakubadde nga beeyita abagoberera Endiga ya Katonda, abantu bajjuzibwa omwoyo gw'ennyoka enkulu. Beeyita abakkakkamu n'abawombeefu naye boogera era bateekawo amateeka mu mwoyo gwa Sitaani, ne balaga mu bikolwa byabwe nti bali ku bbali erirala ddala okuva ku bye beeyita. Obuyinza obufaanana endiga bwegatta n'enyoka enkulu mu kulwana n'abo abakuuma amateeka ga Katonda era abalina obujulizi bwa Yesu Kristo. Ate ne Sitaani yeegatta n'Abaprotestanti n'Abakatoliki, ng'akolagana nabo ng'eyita katonda w'ensi eno, ng'alagira abantu ng'ab'omu bwakabaka bwe, ab'okukwatibwa, okufuugibwa, n'okulamulibwa nga bw'ayagala.

> “If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘He causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘He had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

> “Bw’abantu bwe banaagaana okulinnyirira ebiragiro bya Katonda, omwoyo gw’ejjoka guyolesebwa. Bafungwa, baleetebwa mu nkiiko, era ne babonerezebwa n’amande. ‘Aleetera bonna, abato n’abakulu, abagagga n’abaavu, ab’eddembe n’abaddu, okufuna akabonero mu mukono gwabwe ogwa ddyo, oba ku mitwe gyabwe’ [Okubikkulirwa 13:16]. ‘Yalina obuyinza okuwa obulamu ekifaananyi ky’ensolo, era ekifaananyi ky’ensolo ne kyogera, ne kireetera abo bonna abagaana okusinza ekifaananyi ky’ensolo okuttibwa’ [olunyiriri 15]. Bwe kityo Setaani anyaga obuyinza bwa Yehova. Omusajja w’ekibi atudde mu ntebe ya Katonda, yeeyita Katonda, era akola ng’asusse Katonda.” Manuscript Releases, omutundu 14, 162.

Antichrist is a symbol of both the pope of Rome, and Satan, for the pope of Rome is Satan’s earthly representative. “Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Satan intends to so control the world when he takes control that he will dictate “to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.” In order to have a religious throne to rule from He created the Catholic Church, and in order to have a political throne to rule from he created the United Nations.

Anti-Kristo kye kabonero kya Popi wa Loma awamu ne Sitaani, kubanga Popi wa Loma ye omumiririzi wa Sitaani ku nsi. "Bw’atyo Sitaani anyaga obuyinza bwa Yakuwa. Omuntu w’ekibi atuula mu ntebe ya Katonda, nga yeeyita Katonda, era ng’akola ng’asukkulumira ku Katonda." Sitaani agenderera okufuuka afuga ensi; bwe yaakifuna obuyinza, aliragira "abantu ng’abatuuze b’obwakabaka bwe, okukwatibwa n’okufugibwa n’okulamulirwa nga bw’ayagala." Okubeera n’entebe ey’eddiini gye yafugiranga yatandikawo Ekkanisa Katolika, era okubeera n’entebe ey’ebyobufuzi gye yafugiranga yatandikawo Amawanga Amagattiddwa.

> “This compromise between paganism and Christianity resulted in the development of ‘the man of sin’ foretold in prophecy as opposing and exalting himself above God. That gigantic system of false religion is a masterpiece of Satan’s power—a monument of his efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule the earth according to his will.” The Great Controversy, 50.

> Okutabaganyizibwa kw’obupagani n’ObuKristo kwavaamu okukulaakulana kwa ‘musajja w’ekibi’ eyayogerwako mu bunnabbi, ng’awakanira Katonda era yeeyimusa okusinga Katonda. Eyo nteekateeka ennene ennyo ey’eddiini ey’obulimba ye mulimu omukulu ddala ogw’amaanyi ga Setaani - ekijjukizo eky’okugezaako kwe okwetuuza ku nnamulondo okufuga ensi nga bwe y’ayagala. The Great Controversy, 50.

The miracle of Fatima, and its satanic prophecy is what Satan has employed to prepare a prophetic setting that allows Catholicism to quickly surrender their church into His control, when he appears, and personates Christ. His personation of Christ begins at the soon coming Sunday law, represented in verse sixteen, verse twenty-two, verse thirty-one and verse forty-one of Daniel chapter eleven.

Ekyamagero eky’e Fatima, n’obunnabbi bwakyo obwa Setaani, kye Setaani akozeesa okuteekateeka embeera ey’obunnabbi, eganya ObuKaatoliki okuwaayo mangu Ekkanisa yaabwe mu buyinza bwe, bw’anaalabika, n’okwefaananyiriza Kristo. Okwefaananyiriza kwe Kristo kutandika ku tteeka lya Sande erigenda okujja mangu, nga kulagirwa mu nnyiriri 16, 22, 31 ne 41 ez’Essuula 11 mu kitabo kya Danyeri.

> “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.

At the Sunday law in the United States, the “time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” In Revelation chapter thirteen, verse eleven, the United States “speaks” as a dragon, and then in verse thirteen, which is simply identifying what happens when the United States “speaks,” by passing the Sunday law, Satan appears to call fire down out of heaven.

Mu kiseera ky’etteeka lya Sande mu Amerika, “ekiseera kituuse ku mulimu ogw’ebyewuunyo ogwa Sitaani.” Mu Okubikkulirwa essuula ey’ekkumi n’asatu, olunyiriri olw’ekkumi n’emu, Amerika “eyogera” ng’eddogo; ate mu olunyiriri olw’ekkumi n’asatu, ekiraga kye kibaawo ng’Amerika “eyogera,” mu kuyisa etteeka lya Sande, Sitaani alabika ng’ayita omuliro okugwa okuva mu ggulu.

> “Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

> “Abaweereza ba Katonda, amaaso gaabwe nga gamulisa era nga gasaanira olw’okwewaayo okutukuvu, bajja okwetoloola mu bwangu okuva mu kifo ne mu kifo okulangirira obubaka obuva mu ggulu. Okulabula kulituusibwa mu ddoboozi ez’enkumi n’enkumi mu nsi yonna. Ebyamagero bijja okukolebwa, abalwadde bajja okuwonyezebwa, era obubonero n’ebyamagero bijja okugoberera abakkiriza. Naye Setaani naye alikola n’ebyamagero eby’obulimba, era n’aleeta omuliro okuva mu ggulu mu maaso g’abantu. Okubikkulirwa 13:13. Bwe kityo, abatuuze b’ensi bajja kuleetebwa okulonda oluyi lwabwe.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

The messages of Fatima were confirmed by a miracle that was testified to by the atheistic government newspapers that attended the event in order to refute the claims that had been made about the so-called Virgin Mary visiting the three children on the thirteenth day of the month from May until the miracle on October 13, 1917. Every atheistic news organization that was at Fatima at the time of the miracle confirmed the event. It was a genuine miracle (of Satan).

Obubaka bwa Fatima bwakakasibwa ekyamagero ekyategeerwa era ne kitegekebwa amawulire ga gavumenti ey’obutakkiriza Katonda agaali gagenze mu kifo ky’ekyo basobole okuwakanya ebyali byogeddwa ku ekyo kye baayitanga Virigini Maliyamu okugaana eri abaana abasatu ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’essatu olw’omwezi okuva mu Mayi okutuusa ku kyamagero ekyaliwo nga 13 Okitobba, 1917. Buli kibiina ky’amawulire eky’obutakkiriza Katonda ekyali e Fatima mu kiseera ky’ekyamagero kyakakasa ekyo ekyaliwo. Kyali kyamagero kya mazima (ekya Setaani).

As Malachi Martin identified in his book, Pope John Paul was guided by his devotion to Mary of Fatima. The secret prophecy of Fatima, that was not revealed until the year 2000, was of course a satanic prophecy, but in the last days Jesus repeats the first days. The oldest book in the Bible, the first book that Moses wrote is the book of Job, and it identifies that Job, who represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for all the prophecies are fulfilled most perfectly in the last days. Satan, in the story of Job, is allowed to bring death and destruction upon Job, for the purpose of testing Job. The miracles that Satan is allowed to accomplish in the last days, are genuine miracles. They are satanic miracles, but God has allowed Satan to accomplish his crowning act, for the same purpose that he allowed Satan to test Job.

Nga Malachi Martin bwe yalaga mu kitabo kye, Papa Yokaana Pawulo yakulembeddwa olw’obweyamo bwe eri Maria w’e Fatima. Obunnabbi obw’ekyama obw’e Fatima, obutabikkulirwa okutuusa mu mwaka gwa 2000, bwali ddala obunnabbi bwa Setaani; naye mu nnaku ez’enkomerero Yesu addamu ebyo ebyaliwo ku ntandikwa. Ekitabo ekyakaddiye ennyo mu Bayibuli, ekitabo ekyasooka okuwandiikibwa Musa, kye kitabo kya Yobu, era kiraga nti Yobu, akiikirira emitwalo kkumi nnya n’enkumi nnya, kubanga obunnabbi bwonna butuukirizibwa mu ngeri entuufu ennyo mu nnaku ez’enkomerero. Setaani, mu kitabo kya Yobu, akkirizibwa okuleeta okufa n’okuzikiriza eri Yobu, olw’ekigendererwa eky’okumugezesa. Ebyamagero Setaani by’akkirizibwa okukola mu nnaku ez’enkomerero, byamagero ddala. Bye byamagero bya Setaani, naye Katonda akkirizza Setaani okutuukiriza ekikolwa kye ekisinga okukulu, olw’ensonga yennyini gyeyakkiriza Setaani okugezesa Yobu.

> “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.

> Abantu bangi bagezaako okunnyonnyola okulabisibwa kw’eby’omwoyo nga babussa kyonna ku bufere n’obukodyo bw’engalo obukolebwa ku ludda lw’abakozesebwamu emyoyo. Naye newankubadde nga mazima nti ebivudde mu bukodyo bwayisiddwa emirundi mingi ng’okulabisibwa okutufu, wabaddewo era n’okweyoleka okw’enjawulo kw’obuyinza obutali bwa bulijjo. Okukonkona okw’ekyama okw’atandikiramu obusamize bw’emyoyo obw’omu mulembe guno tekwava mu bukodyo oba amagezi ag’obufere ag’abantu, wabula kwali omulimu ogwennyini gw’abamalayika ababi, abaatyo ne bayingizaamu emu ku bulimba obwasukkiridde mu kusendasenda abantu, obuzikiriza emyoyo. Abangi bajja kwesibwamu mu mutego olw’okulowooza nti obusamize bw’emyoyo bufere bwa bantu bwokka; bwe banaaleetebwa okwolekagana n’okulabisibwa kwe bataasobola kukiraba mu ngeri ndala okujjako okukitwala nga ekitali kya bulijjo, bajja kulimbibwa, era balitwalibwa okukkiriza ebyo ng’amanyi amanene ga Katonda.

> “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.

> Abantu bano tebatunuulira bujulizi bw’Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu ku byamagero ebikolebwa Setaani n’abaweereza be. Mu buyambi bwa Setaani bamalogo ba Falaawo baasobola okukoppa omulimu gwa Katonda. Pawulo abajuliriza nti nga tekunnabaawo okudda okw’okubiri kwa Kristo, wajja kubaawo okwolesebwa okufaananako okw’obuyinza bwa Setaani. Okujja kw’Omukama kulisookerwako “okukola kwa Setaani n’amaanyi gonna n’obubonero n’ebyamagero eby’obulimba, era n’obulimba bwonna obw’obutali butuukirivu.” 2 Abatesalonika 2:9,10. Era mutume Yokaana, ng’ayanjula obuyinza obukola ebyamagero obunaalabikira mu nnaku ez’enkomerero, agamba nti: “Akola ebyamagero ebikulu, okutuusa n’okuleeta omuliro okuva mu ggulu okukkira ku nsi mu maaso g’abantu, era abakyamya abo abatuula ku nsi olw’ebyamagero ebyo bye yaweereddwa obuyinza okukola.” Okubikkulirwa 13:13,14. Wano si bya bulimba bya bwereere bye byalagulwa. Abantu bakyamibwa olw’ebyamagero bye Setaani n’abaweereza be balina obuyinza okukola, si bye beeyisa ng’bakola. Olutalo Olukulu, 553.

The messages of Fatima in Malachi Martin’s book are represented as the prophetic structure of Catholicism in the last days, in relation to an internal struggle within the church, that can be represented as either the good pope versus the bad pope, or the conservative pope versus the liberal pope. The conservative, and according to Martin’s reading of the miracle, the good pope, bases his understanding upon the First Vatican Council, also known as Vatican I, which took place from December 8, 1869 to July 20, 1870, convened by Pope Pius IX and primarily focused on defining the dogma of papal infallibility and addressing various theological and doctrinal issues facing the Catholic Church at the time. The Second Vatican Council, commonly known as Vatican II, was held much later, from October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965. It was convened by Pope John XXIII and continued by Pope Paul VI after John XXIII’s death.

Obubaka bwa Fatima mu kitabo kya Malachi Martin bwereetedwa ng’entekateeka ey’obunnabbi ey’Obukatuliki mu nnaku ez’enkomerero, nga bwe bikwata ku lutalo lw’omunda mu Kkanisa, oluyinza okwolesebwa ng’okulwanagana wakati wa Papa omulungi n’a Papa omubi, oba Papa omuwagizi w’enkola enkadde ne Papa omuwagizi w’eby’embera empya. Omuwagizi w’enkola enkadde, era ng’okusinziira ku ngeri Martin gy’ategeera eky’amagero, Papa omulungi, asinziiza okutegeera kwe ku Lukiiko Olusooka olw’e Vatikaani, oluyitibwanso Vatican I, olwaliwo okuva nga 8 Desemba 1869 okutuuka nga 20 Julayi 1870, oluyitibwa Papa Pius IX era olwateeka essira ennyo ku kunnyonnyola enjigiriza ey’obutayonooneka bwa Papa mu by’okuyigiriza (papal infallibility) n’okukola ku nsonga ez’enjigiriza n’ez’amateeka g’eddiini ezali zinyigiriza Kkanisa ya Katoliki mu kiseera ekyo. Olukiiko Olwokubiri olw’e Vatikaani, oluyitibwa nnyo Vatican II, lwabaddewo oluvannyuma nnyo, okuva nga 11 Okitobba 1962 okutuuka nga 8 Desemba 1965. Lwayitibwa Papa Yohana XXIII era ne lweyongerwako Papa Paulo VI oluvannyuma lw’okufa kwa Yohana XXIII.

The last days of Catholicism, as Martin expressed it, identifies the struggle between the infallibility and primacy of the church of Rome as set forth in Vatican I, versus the liberalism that is currently on display by Francis the woke-pope, and represented in the documents of Vatican II. Martin suggests that within the struggle for these two approaches of controlling the church, the third world war breaks out, and Jesus returns, comes down to earth and places his blessing upon the good pope and takes the throne of the Catholic church.

Ennaku ez’enkomerero z’Obukatoliki, nga Martin bwe yazitegeeza, ziraga okulwanagana wakati w’obutayonooneka n’obukulembeze obw’okusooka bw’Ekkanisa eya Loma, nga bwe byateekebwawo mu Vatican I, n’‘liberalism’ eriwo kakati, nga lirabikira mu Francis, papa ‘woke’, era nga liriikiriziddwa mu biwandiiko bya Vatican II. Martin alaga nti mu kulwanagana ku nkola zino ebbiri ez’okufuga ekkanisa, Olutalo olw’Ensi Yonna olw’okusatu lubbuka, era Yesu addayo, aserengeta ku nsi n’assa omukisa gwe ku papa omulungi n’atwala entebe y’Ekkanisa ya Katolika.

In verses thirteen through fifteen, of Daniel eleven, the history that immediately precedes the Sunday law of verse sixteen, describes the third and final battle of the proxy wars. It is the battle that follows Putin’s victory in verses eleven and twelve, but in the middle of those three verses, verse fourteen identifies when Catholicism enters into the history of the last days.

Mu nnyiriri kkumi n’essatu okutuuka ku kkumi n’ettaano, eza Danyeri kkumi n’emu, ebyafaayo ebikulembera amangu ddala etteeka lya Ssande ery’omu nnyiriri kkumi na mukaaga, binnyonnyola olutalo olw’okusatu era olw’enkomerero olw’entalo ezo ezirwanirwa mu kifo ky’abalala. Olwo lwe lutalo oluddirira obuwanguzi bwa Putin mu nnyiriri kkumi n’emu ne kkumi na bbiri, naye wakati mu nnyiriri ezo essatu, olunyiriri kkumi na bina lulaga ekiseera Obukatoliki we buyingirira mu byafaayo eby’ennaku ez’oluvannyuma.

According to Isaiah the whore of Rome is forgotten during the symbolic seventy-year reign of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The first time the papacy was enthroned upon the earth in 538, the waymark that preceded her enthronement was the decree of Justinian in 533.

Okusinziira ku Isaaya, omalaya wa Loma tejjukirwanga mu bbanga ly'okufuga ery'emyaka nsanvu ery'ekifaananyi ery'obwakabaka bwa mukaaga mu bunnabbi bwa Bayibuli. Omulundi ogwasooka obwakapapa lwe bwatikkibwa ku ntebe ku nsi mu mwaka gwa 538, akabonero akalaga ekkubo akakulembera okutikkibwa kuno kaali ekiragiro kya Yustiniyano eky'omwaka gwa 533.

The history surrounding Justinian’s decree identifies that Justinian sought to consolidate his control over his kingdom by bringing an end to the religious argument that had been causing turmoil in the kingdom. That argument was whether the church in Constantinople in the east, or the church in Rome in the west was the head of the so-called Christian church. In verse thirteen, the last president of the United States will be confronted with a controversy that forces him to parallel the history of Justinian, and declare that the Catholic church is the head of the churches, and the corrector of heretics, in order to establish the necessary political support to consolidate his power.

Ebyafaayo ebikwata ku kiragiro kya Yustinyano biraga nti Yustinyano yanoonya okunyweza obuyinza bwe ku bwakabaka bwe nga aggalawo empaka z’eddiini ezibadde zireeta obutabanguko mu bwakabaka. Empaka ezo zaali zikwata ku nsonga nti ekkanisa eya mu Konstantinopoli mu Buvanjuba, oba ekkanisa eya mu Loma mu Bugwanjuba, ye y’ebeera omutwe gw’ekkanisa eeyitibwa ya Bukristaayo. Mu nnyiriri ey’ekkumi n’asatu, pulezidenti ow’enkomerero wa Amerika ajjakusisinkana empaka ezimuwaliriza okukolera ku byafaayo bya Yustinyano, era n’alangirira nti Ekkanisa Katolika ye mutwe gw’amakanisa, era ye omulongoosa w’abakyamu mu by’eddiini, okuteekawo obuwagizi obw’ebyobufuzi obwetaavu okunyweza obuyinza bwe.

We should not place any confidence in the satanic predictions of Fatima, but we are required to see what is revealed in God’s Word. In the beginning of the twentieth century both horns of the earth beast entered into their third generation, which is the generation of compromise. The Republican horn surrendered its financial system to the world bankers, which trace their origins back to the house of the Red Shield, the Rothschilds, and its mysterious connection with the Illuminati, Freemasonry, secret societies and the Jesuit order. Sister White directly warns of these entities. During the same period of time Laodicean Adventism, as the Protestant horn, surrendered its educational and religious institutions to the governing of the world.

Tetulina kuteeka kwesiga kwonna mu by’obulaguzi bya Setaani eby’e Fatima, naye tusaanidde okulaba ekyo ekyayanikiddwa mu Kigambo kya Katonda. Ku ntandikwa y’ekyasa eky’amakumi abiri ennyanga zombi z’ekisolo eky’ensi zayingira mu mulembe gwazo ogw’okusatu, ogwo gwe mulembe ogw’okukkiriziganya. Ennyanga eya Republican yawaayo sisitemu yaayo ey’ensimbi eri babanka b’ensi yonna, ng’ensibuko yaabwe esookerera mu Nnyumba ya Red Shield, aba Rothschild, n’okukwatagana kwayo okw’ekyama ne Illuminati, Freemasonry, emiryango egy’ekyama n’Ekibiina ky’Abajesuit. Sister White alabulira bino mu butereevu. Mu biseera ebyo bimu, ObuAdiventisiti obwa Laodicea, nga ennyanga eya Purotesitanti, bwawaayo ebitongole byabwo eby’okusomesa n’eby’eddiini eri obufuzi bw’ensi.

In that very time period, the modern king of the south begins its history with the Russian Revolution, and the modern king of the north begins its history with the miracle of Fatima. As Malachi Martin emphasizes in his book, beyond the internal struggle of the good and bad pope, the Fatima messages identified the struggle of Catholicism against atheism in general, but more specifically against the atheism of Russia. The secret that the pope in 1917 was to act upon contained the (satanic) promise, that if the pope would call a conclave and dedicate Russia to the Virgin Mary, then there would not be a second world war. It also identified that if the pope refused Russia would spread its philosophy far and wide and there would then be another world war.

Mu kiseera kennyini ekyo, kabaka w’amaserengeta owa mulembe guno atandika ebyafaayo bye n’Enkyukakyuka eya Russia, ate kabaka w’amambuka owa mulembe guno atandika ebyafaayo bye n’ekyamagero kya Fatima. Nga Malachi Martin bw’akyogerako nnyo mu kitabo kye, waggulu w’okulwanagana okw’omu munda wakati w’omupapa omulungi n’omubi, obubaka bwa Fatima bwalaga okulwana kwa Bukatoliki okulwanyisa obutakkiriza nti waliwo Katonda mu ngeri yonna, naye nga naddala obutakkiriza nti waliwo Katonda obw’e Russia. Ekyama omupapa kye yali alina okukolako mu 1917, kyalimu okusuubiza (kwa Setaani), nti singa omupapa ayita conclave ne awaayo Russia eri Virgin Mary, olwo tewandibaddewo entalo y’ensi yonna ey’okubiri. Era bwalaga nti ssinga omupapa agana, Russia ejja kusasaanya endowooza yaayo nnyo mu nsi yonna era ne wabeerawo entalo y’ensi yonna endala.

The second world war included the war of Catholicism against the Communism of Russia. Catholicism’s proxy army in that war was Nazi Germany. The papacy always employs proxy armies. In 1933 the Catholic church, through the work of Cardinal Pacelli, signed a concordat with Adolph Hitler that allowed Hitler to take control of Germany, and by Hitler’s own testimony, that contract (concordat), was what allowed Hitler to solve the Jewish question. The Nazi’s were the papacy’s proxy against atheistic Russia in World War II, and in the second battle of the proxy wars, now being accomplished in the Ukraine, it is being carried out by another Nazi proxy army.

Olutalo olw’Ensi olw’Okubiri lwazingiramu olutalo lwa Bakatoliki okulwanyisa Obukomyunisiti bwa Russia. Eggye lya Bakatoliki eryakozesebwa ng’omukono gwabwe mu lutalo olwo lyali Germany eya Nazi. Obwapapa bulijjo bukozesa amagye ag’olubega. Mu 1933 Ekkanisa Katolika, okuyita mu mulimu gwa Kardinaali Pacelli, yassa omukono ku ndagaano ne Adolph Hitler eyakkiriza Hitler okutwala obuyinza ku Germany, era ng’obujulizi bwa Hitler yennyini bwe buli, endagaano eyo (concordat), ye yamusobozesa okugonjoola ensonga y’Abayudaaya. Aba Nazi baali ggye lya Bwapapa ery’olubega okulwanyisa Russia etali na Katonda mu Lutalo olw’Ensi olw’Okubiri, era mu lutalo olw’okubiri olw’entalo ezikozesebwa n’amagye ag’olubega, kati olutuukirizibwa mu Ukraine, lukolebwa okuyita mu ggye eddala erya Nazi ery’olubega.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Tujja kugenda mu maaso n’okunoonyereza kuno mu kiwandiiko ekiddako.

> “Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.

> Okuyita mu bisobi ebikulu bibiri, obutagwaawo bw’emmeeme n’obutukuvu bwa Sande, Setaani ajja kuleeta abantu wansi w’obulimba bwe. Nga ekyasooka kiteeka ensinzi y’enkola y’emizimu, ekyasembayo kireeta obuyungo bw’okusaasira ne Loma. Abaprotestanti b’e Amerika be banaaba ab’asooka okugolola emikono gyabwe nga bayita ku bbanga eribagabanya okukwata ku mukono gw’enkola y’emizimu; banaayita ku bbanga eddene okunywegera mu mikono n’obuyinza bwa Loma; era nga likosebwa oluyogaano luno olw’obutatu, eggwanga lino lijja okugoberera mu bigere bya Loma mu kukandagira eddembe ly’eby’omu mutima.

> “As spiritualism more closely imitates the nominal Christianity of the day, it has greater power to deceive and ensnare. Satan himself is converted, after the modern order of things. He will appear in the character of an angel of light. Through the agency of spiritualism, miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and many undeniable wonders will be performed. And as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible, and manifest respect for the institutions of the church, their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power.

> Ng’obw’emmizimu bwe buyongera okwefaananyiriza ennyo ku Bukristaayo obw’erinnya bokka obw’ensangi zino, bwe butyo bufuna amaanyi agasinga okulimba n’okuteega. Sitaani yennyini yeeyisa ng’akyuse, ng’atambulira mu ngeri ey’omu mulembe guno. Alirabika ng’omulayika w’ekitangaala. Okuyita mu bw’emmizimu, eby’amagero bijjakukolebwa, abalwadde bajjawonyebwa, era ebyewuunyisa bingi ebitayinza kwegaana bijjakukolebwa. Era kubanga emizimu gijja okwogera nti gikkiriza mu Baibuli, ne gijja kulaga ekitiibwa eri enteekateeka z’ekkanisa, omulimu gwagyo gujja kukkirizibwa ng’okulabisibwa kw’amaanyi ga Katonda.

> “The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.

> Omusale ogw’okwawukanya wakati w’abo abeeyita Abakristaayo n’abatalina kutya Katonda kati tekyeyawulika bulungi. Ab’omu kkanisa baagala bye ensi eyaagala era babeetegekedde okwegatta nabo, era Setaani asazeewo okubagatta mu kimu, bw’atyo n’anyweza ensonga ye ng’akunkumya bonna mu mirimu gy’eby’emizimu. Abawagizi ba Papa, abeenyumiriza ku by’amagero ng’akabonero akakakifu ak’ekkanisa ey’amazima, balyanguyirwa okulimbibwamu amaanyi gano agakola eby’amagero; n’Abaprotestanti, oluvannyuma lw’okusuula engabo ey’amazima, nabo balirimbibwa. Abawagizi ba Papa, Abaprotestanti, n’ab’ensi balikkiriza ekifaananyi ky’okutya Katonda nga tekirimu maanyi, era mu kugatta kuno balirabamu ekikwekweto ekikulu olw’okukyusa ensi yonna n’okuleeta ekiseera ky’emyaka lukumi ekyali kiyindiliriddwa okumala ebbanga ddene.

> “Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin. Intemperance dethrones reason; sensual indulgence, strife, and bloodshed follow. Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.

> Nga ayita mu bulogo bw’eby’omwoyo, Ssetaani alabika ng’omuganyizi w’ekika ky’abantu, ng’awonya endwadde z’abantu era ng’agamba nti aleeta enteekateeka empya era eyawaggulu ey’okukkiriza kwa ddiini; naye mu kiseera kye kimu akola ng’omuzikiriza. Okukemebwa kwe kuleeta abantu bangi mu kuzikirira. Obutaba n’okwefuga buggya amagezi ku ntebe; okwegazza kw’omubiri, obutakkaanya, n’okuyiwa omusaayi bikugoberera. Ssetaani asanyukira entalo, kubanga ezukuza obwegomba obubi ennyo mu mmeeme era ne zisikiza mu butaggwaawo, ng’abanyigidde mu bibi n’omusaayi. Ekigendererwa kye kwe kukubiriza amawanga okulwanagana, buli ggwanga ne linnaalyo, kubanga mu ngeri eyo asobola okusendasenda ebirowoozo by’abantu okuva ku mulimu gw’eteekateeka ogw’okuyimirira ku Lunaku lwa Katonda.

> “Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.” The Great Controversy, 588, 589.

> Sitaani akolera ne mu bintu eby’obutonde okukungaanya akakungula ke k’emyoyo egitategese. Ayize ebyama by’obutonde, era akoza amaanyi ge gonna okufuga ebintu eby’obutonde nga Katonda bw’amukkiriza. Bwe yamukkirizibwa okulumya Yobu, nga bw’amangu amasibo g’endiga n’ente, abaweereza, ennyumba, n’abaana byaggibwawo, ekizibu ekimu ne kigobererwa ekirala amangu ddala ng’omu kaseera akatono. Katonda ye abakuuma era n’abazibira okuva mu buyinza bw’omuzikiriza. Naye ensi y’Abakristaayo eraze obunyooma eri amateeka ga Yehova; era Mukama alikola ddala nga bw’agambye nti alikola—aliggyako omukisa gwe ku nsi era aggyeko okukuuma kwe ku abo abajeemera amateeka ge nga bayigiriza era bawaliriza abalala okukola kye kimu. Sitaani afuga bonna Katonda b’ataakuuma mu ngeri ey’enjawulo. Alikwatira abamu ekisa era abafuule ab’omukisa okunyweza enteekateeka ze, era aleetera abalala obuzibu n’abalowoozesa nti Katonda ye ababonyaabonya. Olutalo Olukulu, 588, 589.
