Ideally the seven churches and seven seals should be understood as parallel symbols representing internal and external lines of the same history. It is also important to note that when considering the last three churches and the last three seals that the historical line representing progressive history is not a primary subject of the symbols. When the churches are applied in the context of parallel histories, the progression of history is an essential element of the symbolism, but this is not the case when the last three churches and seals are treated as a symbol unto themselves.

Mu ngeri esaanidde ddala, amakanisa musanvu n’emikomo musanvu bitegeerekebwe ng’obubonero obugenderagana obulaga emirongo egy’omunda n’egy’ebweru egy’ebyafaayo bimu. Kikulu nnyo okutegeera nti, bwe tukebera amakanisa agatatu agasembayo n’emikomo esatu egisembayo, omulongo gw’ebyafaayo ogw’okweyongera si gwe nsonga ey’okusooka mu bubonero obwo. Amakanisa bwe gakozesebwa mu nteekateeka y’ebyafaayo ebigenderagana, okulinnya mu maaso kw’ebyafaayo kuba kintu ekyetaagisa mu bubonero bwabyo, naye kino tekiba bwe kityo bwe tutwala amakanisa agatatu agasembayo n’emikomo esatu egisembayo nga kabonero kamu kennyini.

The last three churches as a symbol are about the relationship of three groups and the dynamics of the interaction of the three groups of worshippers represented by the various churches. The last three seals identify God’s people as represented by Moses and Elijah. Elijah representing the one hundred and forty-four thousand and Moses the righteous dead.

Amakanisa asatu agasembayo, nga gakozesebwa ng'ekifaananyi, gakwata ku nkolagana y'ebibiinja bisatu by'abasinza n'engeri gye bakkolaganamu, nga bayimiririrwa amakanisa ag'enjawulo. Ebisiba ebisatu ebyasembayo bikakasa nti abantu ba Katonda bayimiririrwa Musa ne Eriya. Eriya amyimirira abo 144,000, ate Musa abafu abatuukirivu.

> And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. And when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Revelation 6:9–17.

> Era bwe yaggyawo ekisiba ekyokutaano, ne ndaba wansi w’ekyoto emmeeme z’abo abaattibwa olw’ekigambo kya Katonda ne olw’obujulizi bwe baali bakutte; ne bakaaba n’eddoboozi ddene nga bagamba, Okutuusa ddi, Ai Mukama, Omutukuvu era Omuweesigwa, tosalira musango era totutwalira kisasi olw’omusaayi gwaffe ku abo abatuula ku nsi? Ne buli omu ku bo baamuwa engoye enjeru; ne babagamba nti bakyebakeko akaseera katono, okutuusa ne banne abaweereza n’abaganda baabwe, abalina okuttibwa nga bwe baattibwa bo, omuwendo gwabwe lwe gunaatuukiririra. Era bwe yaggyawo ekisiba eky’omukaaga, laba, waabaawo ekikankano ky’ensi ekinene; enjuba n’efuuka envuunu ng’olugoye olw’obwoya, n’omwezi n’afuuka ng’omusaayi; n’emmunyeenye ez’eggulu ne zigwa ku nsi, ng’omuuyu bwe guggyamu ebibala byagwo ebitannaba kukula bwe gukankanyizibwa omuyaga omukambwe. N’eggulu ne lisikulukuka ng’ekiwandiiko bwe likulungutibwa, ne buli lusozi ne buli kizinga ne biveebwa mu bifo byabyo. Awo bakabaka b’ensi, n’abanene, n’abagagga, n’abaduumizi abakuluv, n’ab’amaanyi, ne buli muddu, ne buli muntu ow’eddembe, ne beekweka mu mpuku ne mu mayinja g’ensozi; ne bagamba ku nsozi n’amayinja nti, Mugweere ku ffe, mutweeke ku maaso g’oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, ne ku busuungu bw’Omwana w’Endiga; kubanga olunaku olukulu lw’obusuungu bwe lutuuse; era ani ayinza okuyimirira? Okubikkulirwa 6:9-17.

Sister White informs us that that the fifth seal addresses “a period of time in the future.” The verses of the fifth seal are asking when God would judge the papacy for murdering God’s people during the Dark Ages. The answer was given that in the “last days” God would judge the papacy for their murder and also for another group of papal martyrs that would also be murdered by the papacy during the Sunday law crisis.

Mukyala White atutegeeza nti ekisibo eky’okutaano kiyogerera ku “kiseera ekigenda okujja.” Ebigambo eby’ekisibo eky’okutaano bibuuza ddi Katonda alisala omusango obupapa olw’okutta abantu ba Katonda mu Ebyasa eby’ekizikiza. Okuddamu kwaweereddwawo nti mu “ennaku ez’enkomerero” Katonda alisalira obupapa omusango olw’okutta kwabwo, era n’olw’ekibiina ekirala ky’abajulizi abajja okuttibwa obupapa mu kiseera ky’obuzibu ky’etteeka lya Ssande.

> “‘And when he had opened the fifth seal . . . [Revelation 6:9–11]. Here were scenes presented to John that were not in reality but that which would be in a period of time in the future.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 197.

> 'Era bwe yaggulawo ekisiba ekyokutaano . . . [Okubikkulirwa 6:9-11]. Wano waliwo ebyalagibwa eri Yokaana nga si bintu ebyaliwo ddala wabula ebyandibaddewo mu kiseera eky'omu maaso." Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 197.

Inspiration also confirms that the souls under the altar, who desire to know when God will judge the papacy are connected with the two voices of the angel that lightens the earth with its glory in chapter eighteen of Revelation.

Okutegeezebwa okw’Omwoyo kukakasa era nti emyoyo gy’abo abali wansi w’ekyoto, aba baagala okumanya Katonda anaalamula ddi obupapa, gikwatagana n’amaloboozi abiri g’omulayika awunikira ensi mu kitiibwa kye mu essuula ey’ekkumi n’omunaana ey’Okubikkulirwa.

> “When the fifth seal was opened, John the Revelator in vision saw beneath the altar the company that were slain for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. After this came the scenes described in the eighteenth of Revelation, when those who are faithful and true are called out from Babylon. Revelation 18:1–5 quoted.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 14.

> "Bwe baaggulawo akasibo ak'okutaano, Yokaana eyawandiika Okubikkulirwa mu kwolesebwa yalaba wansi w'ekyoto ekibiina ky'abo abaattiddwa olw'Ekigambo kya Katonda n'obujulirwa bwa Yesu Kristo. Oluvannyuma ne giddako ebyo ebyogerwako mu ssuula ey'ekkumi n'omunaana ey'Okubikkulirwa, bwe bayitibwa abo abeesigwa era ab'amazima okuva mu Babulooni. Okubikkulirwa 18:1-5 byasomereddwa." Manuscript Releases, voliyumu 20, omuko 14.

In Revelation eighteen Catholicism’s judgment is double for there and then she is punished for not only those she will murder in the “last days,” but also for the murder victims during the Dark Ages of papal rule.

Mu Okubikkulirwa eky'ekkumi n'omunaana, okusalirwa omusango kw'Obukatoliki kuba kabiri, kubanga eyo ne mu kiseera ekyo bunaabonerezebwa si lwa bbo bokka be bunaakutta mu 'nnaku ez'enkomerero', naye era n'olw'abo abaattiddwa mu mirembe egy'ekizikiza egy'obufuzi bwa Papa.

> And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. Revelation 18:4–6.

> Ne mpulira eddoboozi eddala okuva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, Muvemu, abantu bange, muleme okwetaba mu bibi bye, era muleme okufuna ku bikolimo bye. Kubanga ebibi bye bituuse mu ggulu, era Katonda ajjukidde ebyonoono bye. Mumusasule nga bwe yabasasula, era mumuwe emirundi ebiri ng’emirimu gye bwe giri; mu kikopo kye yajjuza, mujjuze eri ye emirundi ebiri. Okubikkulirwa 18:4-6.

The sixth seal provides one of the Bible’s classic illustrations of the events which immediately precede the Second Coming of Christ during the seven last plagues. It concludes with the introduction to chapter seven of Revelation which provides the answer for the question raised in the last verse of the sixth seal, “who shall be able to stand.” There are two groups that will stand as God’s ensign in the Sunday law crisis that concludes when the seven last plagues arrive. Those two groups are the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are represented by Elijah, and the “great multitude” who are represented by Moses. These two symbols of Moses and Elijah were previously identified as those who stand at the end of the world, for they both stood with Christ at the Mount of Transfiguration.

Ekisiba eky’omukaaga kiwa ekirabirako ekimu eky’enjawulo mu Baibuli ku bintu ebisooka ddala okujjirira Okujja kwa Kristo okw’okubiri mu kiseera ky’ebibonyoobonyo omusanvu ebisembayo. Kiggwa nga kiteeka entandikwa y’Essuula ey’omusanvu ey’Okubikkulirwa, erimu okuddamu ekibuuzo ekyabuuzibwa mu linyiriri ery’oluvannyuma ery’ekisiba eky’omukaaga, nti, ‘ani alisobola okuyimirira?’ Waliwo bibinja bibiri ebigenda okuyimirira ng’ekibendera kya Katonda mu mutawaana gw’etteeka lya Sande oguggwaawo nga ebibonyoobonyo omusanvu ebisembayo bituse. Ebibinja ebyo bibiri bye bino: 144,000 abakyimiririrwa Eriya, n‘ekibiina ekinene ennyo’ ekikyimiririrwa Musa. Obubonero bwombi bwa Musa ne Eriya bwalambululwa dda ng’abo abaliyimirira ku nkomerero y’ensi, kubanga bombi baayimirira ne Kristo ku Lusozi lw’Okukyusibwa.

The first group of papal martyrs from the Dark Ages were given white robes, and the second group that they were told to wait for until that group was made up is the “great multitude” who are also wearing white robes. The fifth and sixth seal is not providing a parallel history of the fifth and sixth churches, they are providing a witness about the two groups that stand up as an ensign for the Lord in the “last days.” Those two groups are they who proclaim the messages of the two voices in Revelation chapter eighteen. The message that is then proclaimed is accompanied with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as typified by the history of Pentecost and the history of the Midnight Cry at the beginning of Adventism.

Ekibinja ekisooka ky’abajulizi abattibwa olw’obwakapapa mu Biseera eby’Ekizikiza baawereddwa engoye enjeru, ate ekibinja ekyokubiri kye baalagirwa okulindirirako okutuusa ng’ekyo kibinja kituukiridde kye “ekibiina ekinene,” nabo bambadde engoye enjeru. Ekisiba ekyokutaano n’eky’omukaaga tebituwa byafaayo eby’enkanankana n’amakanisa agokutaano n’ag’omukaaga; wabula bituweereza ng’obujulizi ku bibinja bibiri ebyeyimirira ng’akabendera ka Mukama mu “nnaku ez’enkomerero.” Ebibinja ebyo bibiri be babuulira obubaka bw’eddoboozi ebbiri mu Kubikkulirwa essuula ey’ekkuminamunaana. Obubaka obwo olwo lwe bubuulirwa, bugobererwa n’okufukibwa kwa Mwoyo Omutukuvu, okwookufukibwa nga kufaananyizibwa mu byafaayo bya Pentekooti ne mu byafaayo by’Okukaaba okw’oku ttumbi lw’ekiro ku ntandikwa y’Addiventisimu.

> “The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel’s message is to lighten the whole earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.

> Malayika eyeegattako mu kulangirira obubaka bwa malayika ow’okusatu agenda okutangaza ensi yonna n’ekitiibwa kye. Wano walagulwa omulimu ogukwata ku nsi yonna, ogw’obuyinza obutasangwawo. Olutambuza lw’Okudda kwa Kristo olw’emyaka 1840–44 lwali okwolesebwa okw’ekitiibwa kw’obuyinza bwa Katonda; obubaka bwa malayika ow’okusooka bwatwalibwa ku buli kifo kya misiyoni mu nsi yonna, era mu bimu ku mawanga waaliwo enteresi enkulu ddala mu byeddiini, eyasukkirira mu byonna ebyalabibwa mu nsi yonna okuva ku Nkyukakyuka ey’ekyasa eky’ekkumi n’omukaaga; naye ebyo bijja kusukkirirwa olutambuza olw’amaanyi olugenda okuba wansi w’okulabula okw’enkomerero kwa malayika ow’okusatu.

> “The work will be similar to that of the Day of Pentecost. As the ‘former rain’ was given, in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the opening of the gospel, to cause the upspringing of the precious seed, so the ‘latter rain’ will be given at its close for the ripening of the harvest. ‘Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.’ Hosea 6:3. ‘Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain.’ Joel 2:23. ‘In the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh.’ ‘And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ Acts 2:17, 21.

> Omulimu gunaaba nga ogw’Olunaku lwa Pentekooti. Nga “emvuba eyasooka” bwe yaweebwa, mu kufukibwa kw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu ku ntandikwa y’enjiri, okuleetera ensigo ey’omuwendo okumera, bwe kityo “emvuba ey’oluvannyuma” eriweebwa mu nkomerero yaayo olw’okutuukiriza ebibala by’ennimiro. “Awo tunaamanya, bwe tunaagobereranga okumanya Mukama: okuvayo kwe kwetegekeddwa ng’enkya; era ajja gyetuli ng’emvuba, ng’emvuba ey’oluvannyuma n’eyasooka ku nsi.” Hoseya 6:3. “Noolwekyo, mmwe abaana ba Sayuuni, mubeere basanyufu, mujagulize mu Mukama Katonda wammwe: kubanga yabawa emvuba eyasooka mu bwenkanya, era alibaleetera okukkira emvuba, eyasooka n’ey’oluvannyuma.” Yoweeri 2:23. “Mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma, bw’ayogera Katonda, ndifukako Omwoyo gwange ku mubiri gwonna.” “Era kinaabanga nti buli ayita erinnya lya Mukama alirokoka.” Ebikolwa 2:17, 21.

> “The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening. The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring of the former rain at the opening of the gospel are again to be fulfilled in the latter rain at its close. Here are ‘the times of refreshing’ to which the apostle Peter looked forward when he said: ‘Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus.’ Acts 3:19, 20.” The Great Controversy, 611.

> Omulimu omukulu gw’Enjiri tegugenda kuggalwawo nga kulabikako amaanyi ga Katonda katono okusinga agaalabika ku ntandikwa yaagwo. Obunnabbi obwatuukirizibwa mu kufukibwa kw’enkuba eyasooka ku ntandikwa y’Enjiri bujja okuddamu okutuukirizibwa mu nkuba ey’oluvannyuma ku kuggalawo kwaayo. Wano we wali ‘ebiseera eby’okuzzaamu amaanyi’ Peetero omutume bye yalindirira bwe yagamba nti: ‘Noolwekyo mwenenye, era mukyuke, ebibi byammwe bisangulibwe, bwe bijja ebiseera eby’okuzzaamu amaanyi ebiva mu maaso g’Omukama; era anaatuma Yesu.’ Ebikolwa by’Abatume 3:19, 20." Obutakkaanya Obukulu, 611.

After the sixth seal raises the question that introduces Elijah and Moses represented in chapter seven of Revelation the seventh seal is opened and describes the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon those two groups. It is to be noted that in the description there is a silence for a half an hour. The outpouring of the latter rain represented with the opening of the seventh seal includes a period of silence.

Oluvannyuma lw’omuhuuri omukaaga okuleeta ekibuuzo ekiyanjula Eriya ne Musa, abakiikirirwa mu ssuula ey’omusanvu ey’Okubikkulirwa, omuhuuri ogw’omusanvu ne guggulwawo, ne gulaga okuyiwibwa kwa Mwoyo Omutukuvu ku bibinja ebyo ebyombi. Kiteekwa okutegeerwa nti mu kunnyonnyola okwo waliwo obusirisi okumala ekitundu kya ssaawa. Okuyiwibwa kw’enkuba ey’enkomerero, okwakiikirizibwa mu kuggulwa kw’omuhuuri ogw’omusanvu, kulimu ebbanga ly’obusirisi.

> And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. Revelation 8:1–5.

> Awo bwe yaggyawo akabonero ak’omusanvu, ne wabaawo okusirika mu ggulu ng’ekitundu ky’essaawa emu. Ne ndaba bamalayika omusanvu abayimirira mu maaso ga Katonda; ne baaweebwa amakondeere omusanvu. Malayika omulala n’ajja n’ayimirira awali ekyoto, ng’alina ekyoterezo kya zaabu; ne aaweebwa obubaane bungi, abuweeyo wamu n’okusaba kw’abatukuvu bonna ku kyoto ekya zaabu ekyali mu maaso g’entebe. Omukka gw’obubaane, ogwajja wamu n’okusaba kw’abatukuvu, ne gwambuka mu maaso ga Katonda okuva mu mukono gwa malayika. Malayika n’atwala ekyoterezo, n’akijjuza omuliro ogw’oku kyoto, n’agusuula ku nsi: ne wabaawo amaloboozi, n’okubwatuka okw’okubwatuka kw’eggulu, n’okumyansa, n’okukankana kw’ensi. Okubikkulirwa 8:1–5.

As just noted in the passage in The Great Controversy the latter rain begins to be poured out when the mighty angel descends and lightens the earth with his glory. The latter rain began when “the great buildings of New York City were thrown down” on September 11, 2001.

Nga bwe kyogeddwako mu kitundu ekiri mu The Great Controversy, enkuba ey’oluvannyuma etandika okufukibwa Malayika ow’amaanyi bw’akka wansi era n’atuangaza ensi n’ekitiibwa kye. Enkuba ey’oluvannyuma yatandika nga "enzimbe ennene ez’ekibuga New York zaasuulibwa wansi" ku Settemba 11, 2001.

> “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.

On September 11, 2001 the latter rain began to fall and the outpouring of that rain falls upon those represented by Elijah and Moses, and includes a time of silence. A time of silence for Moses and Elijah is also represented in chapter eleven of Revelation where Moses and Elijah, those two prophets that tormented the world, were “slain” in the streets. But after three and a half days they came out of the cave of Horeb and ascended to heaven. In the history of the latter rain the message, represented by those two messengers, is slain and cast into the street, but not buried until they are resurrected. This is one of the primary truths that the Lion of the tribe of Judah is now unsealing.

Ku 11 Sebuttemba 2001, enkuba ey’oluvannyuma yatandika okutonnya, era okuwiyibwa kw’eyo nkuba kugwa ku abo abakiikirirwa Yelija ne Musa, era kulimu ekiseera eky’okusirika. Ekiseera eky’okusirika eky’a Musa ne Yelija kiragisibwa ne mu Essuula ey’ekkumi n’emu ey’Okubikkulirwa, mwe Musa ne Yelija, bannabbi abo babiri abaali batulugunya ensi, “baattibwa” mu nguudo. Naye oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu n’ekitundu ne bava mu mpuku e Horebu ne bayambuka mu ggulu. Mu byafaayo by’enkuba ey’oluvannyuma, obubaka obukiikirirwa abo ababaka babiri butibwa ne busuulibwa mu luguudo, naye tebwaziikibwa okutuusa lwe abo bombi bazuukizibwa. Kino kye kimu ku mazima ag’omusingi ag’Empologoma ey’ekika kya Yuda kati ng’aziggulawo.

The last three seals are identifying the final movement of God’s people as represented by Elijah and Moses. That movement dies and is resurrected. It is a movement, for Adventism began with a movement that continued until 1863 when they set aside the first truth William Miller was led to recognize. In 1863 the movement ended, for in 1863 they legally became a church. The Alpha and Omega insists that if He began His remnant people as a movement, He will also end it as a movement.

Obusiba obusatu obwasembayo bulaga ekibiina eky’enkomerero eky’abantu ba Katonda, nga kiikiriddwa Eriya ne Musa. Ekibiina ekyo kifa era ne kizukizibwa. Kikibiina, kubanga Adiventizimu yatandikira ku kibiina ekitambula ekyayongerayo okutuusa mu 1863 lwe baateeka ku bbali amazima agasooka, bye William Miller yalagirwa okutegeera. Mu 1863 ekibiina kyaggwaawo, kubanga mu 1863 baafuna okwanikirizibwa okw’amateeka ne bafuuka ekkanisa. Alufa ne Omega asimbirira nti bwe yatandikawo abantu be ab’okusigalawo ng’ekibiina ekitambula, ajjakukikomekkereza nga kikibiina ekitambula.

We have now finished the overview of the seven churches and seven seals. In the last three seals we see two classes of the redeemed that are represented by Moses and Elijah. Those seals all testify of the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen. When he descended on September 11, 2001 two classes of redeemed entered into a purification process which is designed to expose and separate two classes of worshippers within the movement at the end of Adventism as prefigured by the movement at the beginning of Adventism. Daniel identifies that one class, which he calls the wicked will not understand the increase of knowledge, but the wise do. Matthew informs us that those lacking the understanding of the knowledge that has been unsealed identifies a virgin as foolish. The wise virgins demonstrate in the crisis at midnight that they understood and possess the increase of knowledge. The wise and the foolish are represented by the church of Philadelphia or the church of Laodicea. The wicked, foolish virgins of Laodicea are to be spewed out of the mouth of the Lord and the wise receive God’s name, or His character in their foreheads. If the sixth church of Philadelphia represents the wise, how is it that the seventh church of Laodicea represents the wicked? If this is the case, the sequence is out of order, is it not? The answer of course is solved by Alpha and Omega.

Tumalirizza kati okutunuulira mu bufunze amakanisa omusanvu n’obusiba omusanvu. Mu busiba obusatu obusembayo tulaba ebika bibiri by’abaawonyezebwa ebyayimiririddwa Musa ne Eriya. Obusiba obwo bwonna bujulira omulayika ow’amaanyi ow’Okubikkulirwa ekitundu eky’ekkumi n’omunaana. Bwe yakkira ku 11 Ssettemba 2001, ebika bibiri by’abaawonyezebwa byayingira mu nkola y’okutukuza eyategekeddwa okulambulula n’okwaawula ebika bibiri by’abasinza mu mugendo gw’ekibiina ku nkomerero y’Obudiventisiti, ng’okufaananako n’omugendo ogwaliwo ku ntandikwa y’Obudiventisiti. Danyeri alaga nti ekika ekimu, kye ayita ababi, tebagenda kutegeera okweyongera kw’okumanya, naye ab’amagezi bakutegeera. Matayo atutegeeza nti abo ababuze okutegeera ku kumanya okugguddwawo be bafuuka “abawala ab’obusirusiru.” Abawala ab’amagezi balaga mu ttumbi ly’ekiro nti baategeera era balina okweyongera kw’okumanya. Ab’amagezi n’ab’obusirusiru bayimiririrwa ekkanisa eya Firadelfiya oba ekkanisa eya Lawodikiya. Ababi, abawala ab’obusirusiru ab’e Lawodikiya bagenda kusuulibwa okuva mu kamwa ka Mukama, ate ab’amagezi bafuna erinnya lya Katonda, oba ekikula kye, mu mabbanga g’emitwe gyabwe. Singa ekkanisa ey’omukaaga eya Firadelfiya eyimiririra ab’amagezi, kitya lwe kiva nti ekkanisa ey’omusanvu eya Lawodikiya eyimiririra ababi? Bwe kiba bwe kityo, empangiriro eba evudde mu ntegeka, si bwe kityo? Okuddamu kwe kuli mu Alufa ne Omega.

At the beginning of the first denominated people of God, ancient Israel, Moses typified Christ at the end of that denominated people.

Ku ntandikwa y’eggwanga eryasooka okuyitibwa Abantu ba Katonda, Isirayiri ey’edda, Musa yali ekifaananyi kya Kristo, eyajja ku nkomerero y’eggwanga eryo.

> For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Acts 3:22, 23.

> Kubanga ddala Musa yagamba bajjajja nti, Mukama Katonda wammwe anabaleetera nnabbi okuva mu baganda bammwe, ngange; mumuwulirenga mu byonna by’anaabagamba. Era kibeerenga nti buli muntu atawulira nnabbi oyo anazikirizibwa okuva mu bantu. Ebikolwa 3:22-23.

At the end of the first denominated people of God, John the Baptist was the Elijah messenger that prepared the way for Christ’s first coming. Jesus would then make His offering at the cross and thereafter begin His High Priestly work in the holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. At the beginning of the second denominated people of God, modern Israel, William Miller was the Elijah messenger that prepared the way for Christ’s Second Coming. Jesus then suddenly came into the Most Holy Place and began judgment. At the end of the second denominated people of God, a final Elijah messenger prepared the way for Christ to begin the dispensation of the judgment of the living, the conclusion of His work as Heavenly High Priest and his Second Coming.

Ku nkomerero y’ekibiina ekyasooka ekyayitibwa Abantu ba Katonda, Yokaana Omubatiza yali omubaka wa Eriya eyateekateeka ekkubo ery’Okujja okw’osooka kwa Kristo. Ate Yesu n’aweebwayo ku musaalaba, era oluvannyuma n’atandika omulimu gwe ogw’obwa Kabona Omukulu mu Ekifo Ekitukuvu mu yeekaalu ey’omu ggulu. Ku ntandikwa y’ekibiina eky’okubiri ekyayitibwa Abantu ba Katonda, Isirayiri ya mulembe guno, William Miller ye yali omubaka wa Eriya eyateekateeka ekkubo ery’Okujja kwa Kristo okw’okubiri. Ate Yesu olwo n’ayingira amangu ddala mu Ekifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo n’atandika okusala omusango. Ku nkomerero y’ekibiina eky’okubiri ekyayitibwa Abantu ba Katonda, omubaka wa Eriya ow’enkomerero yateekateeka ekkubo Kristo alyoke atandike ekiseera ky’okusalira omusango abalamu, ekikomekkereza omulimu gwe nga Kabona Omukulu ow’omu ggulu era n’Okujja kwe okw’okubiri.

William Miller symbolizes not only the messenger, but the movement he was associated with.

William Miller ayimirira si omubaka yekka, naye era n’ekibiina kyeyagattako.

> “With trembling, William Miller began to unfold to the people the mysteries of the kingdom of God, carrying his hearers down through the prophecies to the second advent of Christ. With every effort he gained strength. As John the Baptist heralded the first advent of Jesus and prepared the way for His coming, so William Miller and those who joined with him proclaimed the second advent of the Son of God….

> Nga akankana, William Miller yatandika okubikkululira abantu ebyama eby’obwakabaka bwa Katonda, ng’atambuza abamuwuliriza be okuyita mu bunnabbi okutuuka ku kujja okuw’okubiri kwa Kristo. Buli lw’agezaako, yongeranga amaanyi. Ng’Yokaana Omubatiza bwe yalangirira okujja okw’olubereberye kwa Yesu era n’ateekateeka ekkubo ery’okuja kwe, bwe kityo ne William Miller n’abo abamwegattaako ne balangirira okujja okw’okubiri kwa Mwana wa Katonda....

> “Thousands were led to embrace the truth preached by William Miller, and servants of God were raised up in the spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the message.” Early Writings, 229, 230, 233.

> Enkumi nnyingi zaakulemberwa okukkiriza amazima William Miller yabuulira, era abaweereza ba Katonda baayimusibwa mu mwoyo n’amaanyi ga Eriya okulangirira obubaka. Early Writings, 229, 230, 233.

In the beginning of ancient Israel God called Moses, who received forty years of corrupted education in Egypt, that required forty years of wilderness living in an attempt to remove the influence of Egypt from his character. Forty years after his birth, understanding that he had been chosen to lead God’s people out of Egypt, Moses exercised human strength to kill the Egyptian. Forty years later at the burning bush he rebelled against God’s calling. After finally accepting the calling, he disregarded the command to circumcise his son until threatened with death. On the border of the Promised Land, he rebelled and struck the Rock a second time. At the beginning of ancient Israel, Moses possessed the character traits of a Laodicean. In doing so he still fulfilled his high and holy calling, including the typification of Christ at the end of ancient Israel. Christ, who struggled with the quibbling Jews, or those who said they were Jews, but were not, represented the character of a Philadelphian. At the beginning of ancient Israel Moses represented a Laodicean in need of gold, eye salve and white raiment. At the end Christ is a Philadelphian.

Ku ntandikwa y’Isirayiri ey’edda Katonda yayita Musa, eyali afunye emyaka amakumi ana egy’obuyigirize obw’ononefu mu Misiri, ebyetaagisa emyaka amakumi ana egy’okubeera mu ddungu mu kaweefube w’okuggyamu ennyingiza ya Misiri ku butonde bwe. Bwe yatuuka ku myaka amakumi ana, ng’ategeera nti yalondebwa okukulembera abantu ba Katonda okuva mu Misiri, Musa n’akola mu maanyi g’omubiri n’atta Omumisiri. Emyaka amakumi ana oluvannyuma, ku kisaka ogwaka, yajeemera okuyitibwa kwa Katonda. Bwe yamaliriza okukkiriza okuyitibwa, teyalabirako kiragiro eky’okukomola omwana we okutuusa lwe yatiisibwa n’okufa. Ku nsalo y’Ettaka eryaasuubizibwa, yajeemera n’akuba ejjinja omulundi ogw’okubiri. Ku ntandikwa y’Isirayiri ey’edda, Musa yalina empisa z’Omulaodikiya. Naye n’atyo yatuukiriza okuyitibwa kwe okw’awaggulu era okutukuvu, nga n’ayimirira ng’ekifaananyi kya Kristo ku nkomerero y’Isirayiri ey’edda. Kristo, eyalwanagana n’Abayudaaya abeebuuzabuuzanga, oba abo abagambanga nti b’Abayudaaya kyokka ne bataba, yakiikirira empisa z’Omufiradelfiya. Ku ntandikwa y’Isirayiri ey’edda Musa yali akiikirira Omulaodikiya eyeetaaga zaabu, obusiige bw’amaso n’engoye ez’emweru. Ku nkomerero Kristo ye Omufiradelfiya.

At the beginning of Adventism, William Miller, represented by those few in Sardis that had not defiled their garments, represented a Philadelphian, as did the movement associated with him. At the end of Adventism, the movement that recognized the time of the end in 1989 were as much Laodicean as was Moses. The Millerite movement typifies the movement of Future for America with the prophetic caveat that the first movement was fulfilled by Philadelphians in the time of Philadelphia, and the last movement is fulfilled by Laodiceans in the time of Laodicea.

Ku ntandikwa y’Adiventisimu, William Miller, akiikirwa abo abatono abaali mu Saadi abaataayonoona ebyambalo byabwe, yakiikirira Omufiradelfiya, era ne ekibiina ekyali kyeekutteko bwe kityo. Ku nkomerero ya Adiventisimu, ekibiina ekyategeera ekiseera eky’enkomerero mu 1989 kyali kya Lawodikiya mu ngeri emu nga Musa bwe yali. Ekibiina ky’Abamillerite kifaananyiriza ekibiina kya Future for America nga kyongerwako okunyonyola okw’obunnabbi nti ekibiina ekyasooka kyatuukirizibwa Abafiradelfiya mu mulembe gwa Firadelfiya, ate ekibiina eky’enkomerero kituukirizibwa Aba Lawodikiya mu mulembe gwa Lawodikiya.

I am the witness of more of the prophetic history of this movement from 1989 than any other person associated with the history of Future for America, and I testify that I personally walked through the history beginning in 1989 onward as a certified Laodicean Adventist. There are many souls along that path who would uphold my testimony. I also can testify of a certainty that those associated with the movement at the end of Adventism were also certified Laodicean Adventists. The first denominated people begin with a Laodicean that becomes a Philadelphian and ends with a Philadelphian. The second denominated people begin with a Philadelphian and ends with a Laodicean that is called to become a Philadelphian. This is the signature of Alpha and Omega.

Nze ndi mujulizi w’ebisinga mu byafaayo eby’obunnabbi eby’omuvimenti guno okuva mu 1989 okusinga omuntu yenna ayungiddwa ku byafaayo bya Future for America, era njuliriza nti nennyini natambulira mu byafaayo ebyatandika mu 1989 okweyongerayo nga ndi Adiventisiti wa Laodikiya omukakasiddwa. Waliwo abantu bangi mu kkubo eryo abayinza okuwagira obujulizi bwange. Era nsobola okujulira n’obukakafu nti abo abaalina enkolagana n’omuvimenti ku nkomerero y’Adiventisiti nabo baali Adiventisiti ba Laodikiya abakakasiddwa. Abantu abaasooka abaatuumibwa erinnya batandika ne Laodikiya n’afuuka Firadefiya, ne bamaliriza nga Firadefiya. Abantu ab’okubiri abaatuumibwa erinnya batandika ne Firadefiya era bamaliriza ne Laodikiya eyayitibwa okufuuka Firadefiya. Kino kye kasayini ka Alufa ne Omega.

In spite of the wretched, miserable spiritual blindness of the leader and those who joined with him, God still directed and controlled the prophetic waymarks which transpired from 1989 until now. In spite of the spiritual nakedness and poverty of the leader and those who joined with him, God was still directing the unsealing of the truths He saw fit to unseal. In His mercy which is never separated from His “truth,” He devised a purification process that provided for a Laodicean to die and thereafter be resurrected as a Philadelphian. That death and resurrection was typified by the authors of the books of Daniel and Revelation, who both were symbolically killed and resurrected. John was resurrected from the death of being thrown into a pot of boiling oil, Daniel from the den of hungry lions. Thus, the two books, which are one book provide an emphasis to the symbol of death and resurrection as part of the message that is now being unsealed.

Wadde nga waliwo obuzibe bw’omwoyo obw’ennaku n’obw’akabi ku mukulembeze n’abo abaamwegattaako, Katonda yakyali akulembera era n’afuga ebisanganzira eby’obunnabbi ebyayitamu okuva mu 1989 okutuusa kaakano. Wadde nga waliwo obwambalavu n’obwavu bw’omwoyo ku mukulembeze n’abo abaamwegattaako, Katonda yakyali akulembera okuggulwawo kw’amazima ge yalaba nga kisaanidde okuguggulwawo. Mu kisa kye ekitayawulibwa ku “mazima” ge, yategeka enkola y’okutukuzibwa eyaleetera ow’e Laodicea okufa n’oluvannyuma n’azukizibwa ng’ow’e Philadelphia. Okufa n’okuzuukira okwo kwalabirwako mu bawandiisi b’ebitabo bya Danyeri ne Okubikkulirwa, abombi abaakuttibwa mu kifaananyi ne bazuukizibwa. Yokaana yazuukizibwa okuva mu kufa olw’okusuulibwa mu kibya ky’amafuta agasushe, Danyeri okuva mu kinnya ky’empologoma ez’enjala. Noolwekyo, ebitabo byombi, ebiri kitabo kimu, bissaako omuzito ku kifaananyi eky’okufa n’okuzuukira ng’ekitundu ky’obubaka obuli kati nga buggulwawo.

As the movement in the “last days” of the investigative judgment, (which was typified by the Millerite movement), approached the end of time God designed that the leader and the movement should be killed and thereafter resurrected. In the context of the seven churches, Laodicea was slain on July 18, 2020 and would be resurrected as Philadelphia before the approaching Sunday law. The resurrected movement would be of the seven churches, but it would be the eighth. The movement would be the eighth, that is of the seven.

Nga ekibiina mu 'ennaku ez'enkomerero' z’okusalira omusango okw’okunoonyereza (ekyafaananyizibwa mu kibiina kya ba Millerite) bwe kyasemberera enkomerero y’ekiseera, Katonda yateekateeka nti omukulembeze n’ekibiina battibwe era oluvannyuma bazuukizibwe. Mu nteekateeka y’amakkanisa musanvu, Laodicea yattibwa ku July 18, 2020 era ejja kuzuukizibwa nga Philadelphia nga tekinnatuuka etteeka lya Ssande eriggya. Ekibiina ekizuukiziddwa kinaabanga kya mu makkanisa musanvu, naye kinaabanga eky’omunaana. Ekibiina kinaabanga eky’omunaana, nga kya mu musanvu.

This prophetic secret is supported in the book of Revelation upon several witnesses, though heretofore not recognized. In this time period we are now entering into the test of the image of the beast, which Sister White informs us is the test that comes before the Sunday law. It is at the Sunday law that the seal of God is impressed upon the Philadelphians of that history. But they must pass the test of the image of the beast that comes before probation closes.

Ekyama kino ky’obunnabbi kiwagirwa mu kitabo ky’Okubikkulirwa n’obujulizi bungi, newankubadde okutuusa kaakano nga tekwategeerekedwa. Mu kiseera kino kati tuyingira mu kigezo ky’ekifaananyi ky’ensolo, kwe Sister White atutegeeza nti kye kigezo ekijja nga tekunnabaawo etteeka lya Ssande. Ku tteeka lya Ssande we ekkaluubwe lya Katonda liteekebwa ku ba Firadelfiya ab’omu mulembe ogwo. Naye balina okuyisa mu kigezo ky’ekifaananyi ky’ensolo ekijja nga tekunnaggwa ekiseera ky’okusaasirwa.

> “The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. Your position is such a jumble of inconsistencies that but few will be deceived.

> Mukama andaze ddala nti ekifaananyi ky’ensolo kijja kuteekebwawo nga tekinnaggwa ekiseera ky’okugezesebwa; kubanga kijja kubeera ekigezo ekikulu eri abantu ba Katonda, mwe eby’obulamu bwabwe obutaggwaawo bijja okusalibwawo. Ensonga z’oyimirirako ziri mu kivuyo ky’ebitakwatagana okutuusa nti batono bokka be banaalimbibwa.

> “In Revelation 13 this subject is plainly presented; [Revelation 13:11–17, quoted].

> Mu Okubikkulirwa 13 ensonga eno eragiddwa bulambulukufu; [Okubikkulirwa 13:11-17, kyasomeddwa].

> “This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

> "Kino kye kigezo abantu ba Katonda kye balina okuyitamu nga tebannateekebwako akasiyiro. Bonna abaalaga obwesigwa bwabwe eri Katonda nga bakuuma amateeka ge, era ne bagaana okukkiriza Ssabbiiti ey'obulimba, baliyimirira wansi w'ekibendera kya Mukama Katonda Yakuwa, era balifuna akasiyiro ka Katonda omulamu. Abo abaleka amazima agava mu ggulu ne bakkiriza Ssabbiiti ya Ssande, balifuna akabonero k'ensolo." Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

In this current history, the two horns formerly identified as Republicanism and Protestantism have already changed to a democracy and apostate Protestantism. When those two horns are fully joined, they then form one power, one horn. In that same period, God will identify and lift up the genuine horn of Protestantism to warn against the image of the beast. Those two horns run parallel to one another until the United States ceases to be the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

Mu byafaayo ebiriwo kaakano, ennyanga ebbiri ezasookanga kumanyibwa ng’obwa Repabulika n’obuProtesitanti zimaze okukyuka ne zifuuka demokulaasi n’obuProtesitanti obuwuguka. Bwe ziggattibwa ddala, zifuuka buyinza bumwe, nnyanga emu. Mu kiseera kimu ekyo, Katonda aliraga era alisitulawo ennyanga entuufu ey’obuProtesitanti okulabula ku kifaananyi ky’ensolo. Ennyanga ezo ebbiri zijja kutambulira mu mpenkana wamu okutuusa nga United States ekoma okuba obwakabaka obw’omukaaga mu obunnabbi bwa Baibuli.

Revelation seventeen identifies that the three-fold union of the dragon (the United Nations), the beast (the papal power) and the false prophet (the United States) is the power that is the eighth head, that is of the seven heads. Those seven heads are the kingdoms of Bible prophecy beginning with Babylon, then Medo-Persia, Greece and then pagan Rome. Then the fifth kingdom is papal Rome who prophetically received a deadly wound in 1798. At that point in history the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, the United States ascended the throne until it is overthrown at the soon coming Sunday law.

Okubikkulirwa essuula ey’ekkumi n’omusanvu kiraga nti omukago ogw’ebitundu bisatu ogw’ekiyoka (Amawanga ag’Obumu), ensolo (obuyinza bwa Papa), n’nnabbi w’obulimba (Amerika) gwe buyinza obw’omutwe ogw’omunaana, nga buva mu mitwe musanvu. Emitwe egyo musanvu gye bwakabaka ebyogerwako mu bunnabbi bwa Bayibuli, nga bitandika ne Babulooni, ne Medi-Pezia, ne Bugereeki, oluvannyuma ne Loma ey’obupagani. Awo obwakabaka obw’okutaano kye Loma ey’obwa Papa, eyafuna mu bunnabbi ekiwundu ekitta mu 1798. Mu kiseera ekyo mu byafaayo, obwakabaka obw’omukaaga obwogerwako mu bunnabbi bwa Bayibuli, Amerika, bwatuula ku ntebe okutuusa lwe linaaggyibwako obuyinza mu kiseera ky’etteeka erya Sande eririkwanguwa okujja.

The United Nations will be then forced by the power that forces the entire world to set up an image to the beast. At that point the sixth kingdom has also received a deadly wound, but the United States will then force the entire world to accept its leadership over the United Nations and demand that they also accept the moral authority of the papacy to govern the three-fold union.

Mawanga Amagatte gajja olwo okusindikirizibwa obuyinza obusindikiriza ensi yonna okuteekawo ekifaananyi eky’ensolo. Mu kiseera ekyo obwakabaka obw’omukaaga nabwo bubeera bufunye ekiwundu ekitta, naye Amerika Amagatte ejja olwo okusindikiriza ensi yonna okukkiriza obukulembeze bwayo ku Mawanga Amagatte era ebasindikirize nabo okukkiriza obuyinza obw’empisa obw’obwakapapa okulamulira omwegatte ogw’obusatu.

> And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And 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. Revelation 13:13, 14.

> Era alimba abo abatuula ku nsi ng’akozesa ebyo eby’amagero bye yalina amaanyi okukola mu maaso g’ekisolo; ng’agamba abo abatuula ku nsi nti bakole ekifananyi eky’ekisolo, ekyaafuna ekiwundu olw’ekitala ne kibera bulamu. Era yalina amaanyi okuwa obulamu eri ekifaananyi ky’ekisolo, ne kiba nga kyogera, era ne kireetera abo bonna abatanaasinza ekifaananyi ky’ekisolo okuttibwa. Okubikkulirwa 13:13, 14.

The only definition of the “image of the beast” in inspiration is that it represents the combination of church (the papal power) and state (the United Nations, with the United States controlling the other nine kings.) Jezebel is the papal power; Ahab is the United States who is king of the ten northern tribes.

Ennyinyonnyola emu yokka ey’“ekifaananyi ky’ensolo” mu byawandiikibwa ebyasikirizibwa kye nti kiraga okwegatta kwa kanisa (obuyinza bwa Papa) ne gavumenti (Kibiina ky’Amawanga Amagatte, nga Amerika efuga bakabaka abalala mwenda). Yezeberi ye obuyinza bwa Papa; Akabu ye Amerika, kabaka w’ebika kkumi eby’omu Bukiikakkono.

When the United States falls at the Sunday law, Tyre (the papacy) who has been forgotten since 1798 is “remembered” and she begins her seductive songs. Due to the financial collapse represented as “national ruin” in the writings of Ellen White, the United States is forced to bring the entire world together to address the biblical power that brings every man’s hand together against him. That power is Islam, as represented by Islam’s forefather Ishmael.

Nga Amerika bwe egwa ku tteeka lya Sande, Ttuulo (Obwa Papa) eyali erabiddwa bukya 1798 "ejjukirwa" era n’atandika okuyimba ebiyimba byayo eby’okutongoza. Olw’okugwa kw’eby’enfuna okwogerwako ng’ "okuzikirira kw’eggwanga" mu byawandiiko bya Ellen White, Amerika ekakasibwa okuŋŋaanya ensi yonna wamu okukwatako obuyinza obulabikibwa mu Bayibuli obuleeta emikono gya buli muntu wamu okumulumba. Obuyinza obwo kwe Buyisiramu, nga bukiikirirwa jjajja wa Buyisiramu Isimaeri.

> And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:11, 12.

> Malayika wa Mukama n’amugamba nti, Laba, olina olubuto, ojja kuzaala omwana w’obulenzi, era omutuume erinnya lye Isimaeri; kubanga Mukama awulidde okubonyaabonyezebwa kwo. Era aliba omusajja w’ensiko; omukono gwe guliba ku buli muntu, n’omukono gwa buli muntu guliba ku ye; era alibeera mu maaso ga baganda be bonna. Olubereberye 16:11, 12.

The United States forms an alliance with the other nine kings, taking the leadership position. It does so for only a brief time, and it will then insist that the papal power becomes the head of it all, just as Jezebel controlled Ahab.

Amerika eyunga omukago ne bakabaka abalala mwenda, nga etwala ekifo ky’obukulembeze. Amerika ekola bw’eti okumala akaseera katono kyokka, era oluvannyuma erisimbirira nti obuyinza bwa Papa bubeere omutwe gw’omukago gwonna, nga bwe Yezeberi yafuga Akabu.

Thus, the three-fold alliance of the dragon, beast and false prophet march off together to Armageddon. The number eight represents resurrection, and the kingdom that is noted by prophecy as receiving a deadly wound was the fifth kingdom, the papal power. When the papacy is resurrected, they become the eighth kingdom and they are given control of the three-fold union and that eighth kingdom is the one head of the seven kingdoms that has been identified as receiving a deadly wound, but inspiration also identifies the healing of that deadly wound.

Noolwekyo, omukago ogw’obusatu ogw’omusota, ekisolo n’annabbi ow’obulimba bagenda wamu e Alumagedoni. Omuwendo munaana guyimirira okuzuukira, era obwakabaka obwategeezebwa mu bunnabbi nti bwafuna ekiwundu ekitta bwali obw’okutaano, obuyinza bwa Paapa. Bw’obuyinza bwa Paapa buzuukizibwa, bubeera obwakabaka obw’omunaana era buweebwa okufuga omukago ogw’obusatu, ate obwakabaka obwo obw’omunaana bwe mutwe gumu ku mitwe musanvu ogwategeezebwa nti gwafuna ekiwundu ekitta; naye obunnabbi bukiraga era n’okuwonawo kw’ekiwundu ekyo ekitta.

> “As we approach the last crisis, it is of vital moment that harmony and unity exist among the Lord’s instrumentalities. The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses. This union is cemented by the great apostate. While he seeks to unite his agents in warring against the truth he will work to divide and scatter its advocates. Jealousy, evil surmising, evilspeaking, are instigated by him to produce discord and dissension.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.

> “Bwe tunaatera okutuuka ku kizibu eky’enkomerero, kikulu nnyo okubeerawo okutegeeragana n’obumu mu bikozesebwa bya Mukama. Ensi ejjudde emiyaga, entalo n’obutakkanya. Naye wansi w’omutwe gumu—obuyinza bwa Papa—abantu bajja kuyingira mu bumwe okuwakanya Katonda nga babonyaabonya abajulirwa be. Obumu buno bunywezebwa omuvuddeko omukulu. Nga bw’anoonya okuŋŋaanya abakozi be mu kulwana n’amazima, anaakola okubawukanya n’okubasaasaanya abalwanirira amazima. Ye asendasenda obuggya, okwekengera okubi, n’okwogerera bubi, okuleeta obutabanguko n’okwawukana.” Obujulirwa, voliyumu 7, omuko 182.

The fifth kingdom, the sixth kingdom and the seventh kingdom at that point have all lost their individual kingdoms, so their respective kingdoms are all resurrected together as one kingdom made up of three parts, counterfeiting the three-fold makeup of the godhead.

Obwakabaka obw’okutaano, obw’omukaaga n’obw’omusanvu mu kiseera ekyo buba bumaze kufiirwa obwakabaka bwabyo obw’enjawulo, era obwakabaka bwabyo bwonna ne buzuukizibwa wamu nga bubeera obwakabaka obumu obulimu ebitundu bisatu, nga bukoppa mu bulimba enkola ey’obusatu ey’Obwa Katonda.

The sixth kingdom that began with two lamb-like horns and ends as one horn that speaks as a dragon possesses the prophetic characteristic of the papal power for it becomes the image of the beast. It is the beast, the papal power, that is primarily represented as the resurrected eighth kingdom that was of the seven. But even though it is the papal power that most directly fulfills the prophetic enigma, of the eighth being of the seven, the United States forms an image of the papacy and therefore prophetically produces the same characteristics as the papal power.

Obwakabaka obw’omukaaga obwatandika n’ennyanga ebbiri nga ez’endiga ento, ne buggwa nga bufuuka ennyanga emu eyogera nga ejjoka, bulina akabonero ak’obunnabbi ak’obuyinza bwa Paapa kubanga bufuuka ekifaananyi ky’ekisolo. Kye kisolo, obuyinza bwa Paapa, kye kisinga okuyimiririzibwa ng’obwakabaka bw’omunaana obuzuukusiddwa obwava mu musanvu. Naye newankubadde nga obuyinza bwa Paapa bwe businga okutuukiriza ekikukutu eky’obunnabbi eky’okuba nti omunaana wa mu musanvu, Amerika ezimba ekifaananyi ky’obuyinza bwa Paapa, era mu bunabbi ekolera ddala obubonero bwebumu ng’obw’obuyinza bwa Paapa.

The United States began in 1798 when according to Isaiah twenty-three, Tyre, the papal power was to be forgotten until the end of the sixth kingdom. 1798 was the time of the end for the Millerites at the beginning of Adventism. By the spring of 1844, Millerite Adventism had accepted the mantle of Protestantism which runs parallel to the horn of Republicanism representing the government of the United States. The two horns are on the same animal, so they proceed through history together. The beginning and ending of Adventism runs parallel to the Republican horn. The history of 1798, until the Protestants rejected the first angels’ message, was the period where God established that Protestant horn. He did so through a testing process, as He did with the Republican horn. There is much to say about the parallel horns, but not now.

Amerika yatandika mu 1798, ng’okugamba kwa Isaaya 23, Ttuulo, obuyinza bw’Obupapa, bwateekwa okwerabirwa okutuusa ku nkomerero y’obwakabaka obwe mukaaga. 1798 ky’kyaali ekiseera ky’enkomerero eri Abagoberezi ba Miller mu ntandikwa y’Adiventisimu. Okutuuka mu kiyanga kya 1844, Adiventisimu ey’Abagoberezi ba Miller yali yamaze okuyambala omwambalo gwa Bupurotestanti ogugendera wamu n’ennyanga y’oburepabulika ekiikirira gavumenti ya Amerika. Ennyanga ebbiri ziri ku nsolo emu, kale ziyita mu byafaayo wamu. Entandikwa n’enkomerero y’Adiventisimu bigendera wamu n’ennyanga ya Repabulika. Ebyafaayo bya 1798, okutuusa lwe Abaprotestanti baagaana obubaka bw’omalayika ow’olubereberye, byali bbanga Mukama Katonda mwe yanyweza ennyanga eyo ey’Obupurotestanti. Kino yakikola ng’ayisa mu kugezesa, nga bwe yakola ne nnyanga eya Repabulika. Waliwo bingi eby’okwogerako ku nnyanga ezigendera wamu, naye si kati.

The Republican horn commits fornication with apostate Protestantism, not with the true Protestant horn, for the true horn is the Lamb’s bride and she is a virgin. Since the time of the end in 1989 there have been seven presidents. The sixth of those presidents received a deadly wound in the very year that the movement at the end of Adventism also received a deadly wound. The eighth president since the time of the end in 1989, will be the one who received a deadly wound that is healed. He must be a president that is of the seven. At the same time, in 2020 when the sixth president received his deadly wound, the horn that is now carrying the Protestant mantle was also killed. As with the beast of Catholicism, and as with the image of the beast of apostate Protestantism, so with the genuine horn of Protestantism. The horn of Protestantism is represented as the sixth church, that becomes the eighth, but is of the seven.

Ennyanga ya Republican ekola obwenzi ne Protestantisimu eyajeemera, si ne nnyanga ya Protestanti ey’amazima, kubanga ennyanga ey’amazima ye mugole w’Omwana gw’endiga, era ali omuwala atamanyiddwa na musajja. Okuva ku kiseera eky’enkomerero mu 1989, wabawo bapulezidenti musanvu. Owa mukaaga ku abo bapulezidenti yafuna ekiwundu eky’okufa mu mwaka gwenyini, nga n’ekibiina ku nkomerero ya Adventismu naye ne kifuna ekiwundu eky’okufa. Owa munaana okuva ku kiseera eky’enkomerero mu 1989, y’ajja kuba y’oyo eyafuna ekiwundu eky’okufa, era ekiwundu ekyo kiwonyeddwa. Alina kubeera pulezidenti avamu ku basanvu. Mu kiseera kye kimu, mu 2020, lwe owa mukaaga yafuna ekiwundu kye eky’okufa, ennyanga kati eyambadde omwambaza gwa Protestanti nayo yattibwa. Nga bwe kiri ku nsolo y’Obukatoliki, era nga bwe kiri ku kifaananyi ky’ensolo kya Protestantisimu eyajeemera, bwe kityo ne ku nnyanga ey’amazima ya Protestanti. Ennyanga ya Protestanti eriragibwa ng’ekkanisa ey’omukaaga, eyefuuka ey’omunaana, naye eva mu basanvu.

When you test these claims, remember the message that is unsealed just before probation closes will most certainly be presented within the context of the beginning illustrating the end. That message will be presented with the methodology of “historicism,” which employs biblical history aligned with world history to identify the end of the world. That message springs up out of the earth.

Bwe okukebera ebyo ebigambibwa, jjukira nti obubaka obubikkulibwa nga okuggala kw’ekiseera ky’ekisa kutuuse kumpi, ddala ddala bujja kwolesebwa mu ngeri ey’okulaga nti entandikwa eraga enkomerero. Obubaka obwo bujja kwolesebwa nga bukozesa enkola eyitibwa "historicism," egatta ebyafaayo eby’omu Baibuli n’ebyafaayo by’ensi okulambulula enkomerero y’ensi. Obubaka obwo buvumbuka okuva mu ttaka.

> Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. Psalms 85:11–13.

> Amazima gujja kuva mu nsi; n’obutuukirivu bujja okutunuulira wansi okuva mu ggulu. Weewaawo, Mukama ajja kuwa ekirungi; era ensi yaffe erizaala ebibala byayo. Obutuukirivu bujja kugenda mu maaso ge; era bujja kututeeka mu kkubo ly’ebigere bye. Zabbuli 85:11-13.

It is not simply that earth in the passage is identified as a “land.” The passage in Psalms not only identifies the “land” as the “earth” beast of Revelation thirteen, but it also notes that “truth” “springs” up out of the earth.

Si kyokka nti ekigambo "nsi" mu kitundu ekyo kimanyizibwa ng’ "ettaka." Ekitundu mu Zabbuli tekimanyisa "ettaka" bwokka ng’ "ensolo ey’ensi" ey’Okubikkulirwa kkumi na ssatu, naye era kigamba nti "mazima" "ganaanuuka" okuva mu nsi.

> “What nation of the New World was in 1798 rising into power, giving promise of strength and greatness, and attracting the attention of the world? The application of the symbol admits of no question. One nation, and only one, meets the specifications of this prophecy; it points unmistakably to the United States of America. Again and again the thought, almost the exact words, of the sacred writer has been unconsciously employed by the orator and the historian in describing the rise and growth of this nation. The beast was seen ‘coming up out of the earth;’ and, according to the translators, the word here rendered ‘coming up’ literally signifies ‘to grow or spring up as a plant.’” The Great Controversy, 440.

> Eggwanga ki ery’Ensi Empya eryali mu mwaka gwa 1798 nga linyuka mu buyinza, nga liwa obusuubizo bw’amaanyi n’obukulu, era nga likwata obwegendereza bw’ensi yonna? Enkozesa y’akabonero kano tekusigalamu kubuusabuusa. Eggwanga limu, era limu lyokka, lituukiriza ebirambikiddwa mu bunnabbi buno; liraga bitaliimu kubuusabuusa nti lye United States of America. Emirundi mingi, endowooza—waakiri nga eriraanye nnyo ebigambo byennyini—by’omuwandiisi omutukuvu byakozeseddwawo nga batamanya, omwogezi n’omuwandiisi w’ebyafaayo bwe banyonnyola okulinnya n’okukula kw’eggwanga lino. Ensolo yalabibwa 'ng’ejja okuva mu nsi;' era, ng’abavvuunula bwe bagamba, ekigambo wano ekivvuunuddwa 'okujja waggulu' kitegeeza mu ngeri ya bwo bwennyini 'okukula oba okumeruka ng’ekimera.' The Great Controversy, 440.

The United States is the earth beast that “springs up.” So, when you are testing the claims made in these articles, inspiration identifies the message will be based upon the end being illustrated by the beginning, it will be placed in the context of historical line upon historical line, and it must come from a voice in the United States. There are of course false voices within the United States, but according to and upon the authority of God’s Word any messenger or ministry that is located or has its origins outside the United States is a false light. Adventism began in the United States with the voice of a man and a movement established in the United States. Jesus illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

Amerika ye ekisolo eky’ensi “ekitumbuka.” Noolwekyo, bw’oba okukebera ebyo ebyogereddwa mu biwandiiko bino, okusikirizibwa kulaga nti obubaka bujja kubeera bushingiriddwa ku nkomerero nga eragiddwa mu ntandikwa; bujja okuteekebwa mu nteekateeka y’ebyafaayo, olunyiriri ku lunyiriri; era bulina okuva mu ddoboozi eriri mu Amerika. Waliwo ddala amaddoboozi ag’obulimba mu Amerika, naye ng’okusinziira ku buyinza bw’Ekigambo kya Katonda, omubaka yenna oba obuweereza bwonna obuli oba obwatandikira ebweru wa Amerika, buba ettangaaza ery’obulimba. Adiventisimu yatandikira mu Amerika n’eddoboozi ly’omusajja n’ekibiina ekyateekebwawo mu Amerika. Yesu ayolesa enkomerero y’ekintu ng’agiraga mu ntandikwa yaakyo.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Alina okutu, awulire Omwoyo ky'agamba ebika by'ekkanisa.
