The writing on the wall, and Daniel’s interpretation to Belshazzar, represents the final pronouncement against both the apostate Republican horn and the apostate Protestant horn of the United States. The beginning history of both the founding fathers of the United States and the pioneers of Adventism are clearly recorded, yet the lessons and warnings contained therein have been set aside over “four generations”. Belshazzar perfectly represents this truth.

Tulisan di dinding itu, dan tafsiran Daniel kepada Belshazzar, melambangkan pengisytiharan terakhir terhadap kedua-dua tanduk Republikan yang murtad dan tanduk Protestan yang murtad di Amerika Syarikat. Sejarah permulaan kedua-dua bapa pengasas Amerika Syarikat dan para perintis Adventisme tercatat dengan jelas, namun pelajaran dan amaran yang terkandung di dalamnya telah diketepikan selama “empat generasi”. Belshazzar dengan sempurna melambangkan kebenaran ini.

It is not necessary to define a precise period of time to decide what a generation amounts to, for God’s Word never fails, and it speaks directly that it is in the fourth generation when God closes up the books on nations who have rebelled against His revealed will.

A ku nngan ban kdew ia ka por kaba thikna ban rai kaei kaba long ka jingïoh bynta jong kawei ka jingïapher pateng, namar ka Ktien U Blei kam ju bakla, bad ka kren beit shai ba ha ka pateng kaba saw keiñ ba U Blei u pynkut ïa ki kot halor ki jaitbynriew kiba la ïaleh pyrshah ïa ka mon jong U kaba la pynpaw.

> And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:1.

> Tuhan berfirman segala firman ini, demikian: Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu, yang telah membawa engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir, dari rumah perbudakan. Jangan ada padamu allah lain di hadapan-Ku. Jangan membuat bagimu patung pahatan, atau rupa apa pun dari apa yang ada di langit di atas, atau yang ada di bumi di bawah, atau yang ada di dalam air di bawah bumi. Jangan sujud menyembah kepadanya atau beribadah kepadanya, sebab Aku, TUHAN, Allahmu, adalah Allah yang cemburu, yang membalaskan kesalahan bapa kepada anak-anaknya sampai keturunan yang ketiga dan keempat dari orang-orang yang membenci Aku, tetapi yang menunjukkan kasih setia kepada beribu-ribu orang, yaitu mereka yang mengasihi Aku dan yang berpegang pada perintah-perintah-Ku. Keluaran 20:1.

In the final generation, and therefore the prophetic “fourth generation” of ancient Israel, both John the Baptist and Christ identified that generation, as a generation of vipers.

Dalam generasi terakhir, dan oleh itu generasi “keempat” secara nubuat bagi Israel kuno, baik Yohanes Pembaptis mahupun Kristus mengenal pasti generasi itu sebagai satu generasi ular beludak.

> O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Matthew 12:34–37.

In the final generation of the earth beast, it speaks as a dragon (a viper). From 1863, through until the Sunday law, the Republican horn has turned away from the Constitution of the United States. The blessings that God bestowed upon the nation turned the hearts of the citizens and leaders away from their responsibility to protect the principles that produced the wealth and affluence they had come to enjoy, and they forgot the motivation that directed the founding fathers in producing the sacred document that produced the wealth and affluence that they thereafter allowed to seduce them. They not only forgot the purpose of the sacred document, but they also forgot their responsibility to preserve the principles contained within the document.

Lam hnun hnuhnung ber ah lei sâwma sa chu dragon angin a tawng a ni (ruang sâr ang). 1863 atangin, Sunday dân hma thlengin, Republican ki chu United States Constitution lakah a pêl bo ta. Pathianin hnam chungah malsâwmna A lo pe te chuan mipuite leh hruaitute thinlung a hrilh bo va, an lawmna leh hausakna an lo neih theihna siamtu thupuite humhim tur mawhphurhna an nei tih an theihnghilh ta a; chutih rualin, an lo nuam tawh hausakna leh lawmna chu siamtu thianghlim tak document siam tura founding fathers-te a kaihruaitu rilru chhan pawh an theihnghilh ta bawk. Document thianghlim tak chuan a tum ber chu an theihnghilh mai ni lo va, document chhunga thu bulte vawng nun tur an mawhphurhna pawh an theihnghilh tel bawk a ni.

From 1863, through until the Sunday law, the true Protestant horn (Adventism), has turned away from its foundational truths established by God through the ministry of William Miller. The blessings that God bestowed upon Adventism, turned the hearts of the citizens and leaders away from their responsibility to protect the principles that produced the spiritual wealth they had come to enjoy, and they forgot the purpose of the pioneers in producing the message represented upon the two sacred charts, that was designed to establish the prophetic wealth they were to guard and proclaim.

Bermula dari tahun 1863, hingga kepada undang-undang Ahad, tanduk Protestan yang benar (Adventisme) telah berpaling daripada kebenaran-kebenaran asasnya yang telah ditegakkan oleh Tuhan melalui pelayanan William Miller. Berkat-berkat yang telah dikurniakan Tuhan kepada Adventisme telah memalingkan hati para warga dan pemimpin daripada tanggungjawab mereka untuk melindungi prinsip-prinsip yang telah menghasilkan kekayaan rohani yang kini mereka nikmati, dan mereka telah melupakan tujuan para perintis dalam menghasilkan pekabaran yang dilambangkan pada dua carta suci itu, yang dirancang untuk menegakkan kekayaan nubuatan yang harus mereka pelihara dan isytiharkan.

When the Lord entered into covenant with ancient Israel at Mount Sinai, He provided two sacred tables containing His ten laws, that were to be the symbol of His covenant relationship with His people. When He instituted the annual festivals, He directed that at Pentecost there was to be an offering of two loaves, that were to be lifted up. The wave offering of the two loaves was the only offering in the sanctuary service that was to have leaven (a symbol of human sin, malice, wickedness and hypocrisy), included in its preparation.

Ketika Tuhan mengikat perjanjian dengan Israel purba di Gunung Sinai, Dia memberikan dua loh suci yang berisi sepuluh hukum-Nya, yang harus menjadi lambang hubungan perjanjian-Nya dengan umat-Nya. Ketika Dia menetapkan hari-hari raya tahunan, Dia memerintahkan bahwa pada Pentakosta harus ada persembahan dua roti, yang harus diangkat. Persembahan unjukan dari dua roti itu adalah satu-satunya persembahan dalam pelayanan tempat kudus yang harus mengandung ragi (lambang dosa manusia, kejahatan, kefasikan, dan kemunafikan) dalam persiapannya.

> Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Corinthians 5:6–8.

> Mogodisi wa lona ga o molemo. A ga lo itse gore sebidi se sennye se bedisa tlhama yotlhe? Tlosang he sebidi sa bogologolo, gore lo nne tlhama e ntšha, jaaka lo sa bedisiwa. Gonne le Keresete Paseka ya rona o setse a neetswe setlhabelo ka ntlha ya rona; ke gone a re ketekeng moletlo, e seng ka sebidi sa bogologolo, le e seng ka sebidi sa bosula le bokgopo; mme e be ka senkgwe se se sa bedisiwang sa boikanyego le boammaaruri. 1 Bakorintha 5:6–8.

> In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Luke 12:1.

> Ka khyllipmat, haba la ïalum lang da ki byllai byllai ki paidbah, haduh ba ki ïakynreit para ma ki, u la sdang ban ong ha ki synran jong u nyngkong eh, To phikir na ka khawpynsaw jong ki Pharisi, kaba long ka jingïamim. Luka 12:1.

The two wave loaves that were lifted up as a wave offering, were the symbol of the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who, though sinners, had, through the power of God, purged out their leaven of malice, wickedness and hypocrisy. The leaven that was in the loaves represented men (sinners), who had overcome sin through the purification process represented as being “baked” by the furnace fire of the messenger of the covenant in Malachi chapter three. The loaves also represented the “bread of heaven”, for when offered, they were to be lifted up to heaven as a wave offering.

Roti dua buah yang diangkat sebagai persembahan unjukan itu merupakan lambang panji bagi seratus empat puluh empat ribu orang, yang, walaupun orang berdosa, telah, melalui kuasa Tuhan, menyingkirkan ragi kejahatan, kefasikan, dan kemunafikan mereka. Ragi yang ada di dalam roti itu melambangkan manusia (orang berdosa), yang telah mengatasi dosa melalui proses penyucian yang digambarkan sebagai “dibakar” oleh api perapian utusan perjanjian dalam Maleakhi pasal tiga. Roti itu juga melambangkan “roti dari syurga”, kerana apabila dipersembahkan, roti itu harus diangkat ke syurga sebagai persembahan unjukan.

At Pentecost, when the fulfillment of the typification of the two loaves that had been offered through the years at the Pentecostal festival arrived, Christ’s disciples began the work of calling another group (the second loaf) out from the Gentile world. There would then be two loaves that were both purified from sin (leaven).

Ka Pentecost, ha nxungetelo wa xikombiso xa swinkwa swimbirhi leswi a swi nyikeriwa hi malembe yo tala emkhubyeni wa Pentecost wu fikile, vadyondzisiwa va Kriste va sungule ntirho wo vitana ntlawa wun’wana (xinkwa xa vumbirhi) leswaku wu huma emisaveni ya Vamatiko. Kutani a ku ta va ni swinkwa swimbirhi leswi hinkwaswo a swi basisiwile eka xidyoho (comela).

The two tables of the Ten Commandments became the symbol of the covenant relationship of ancient Israel, and the two wave loaves represent the covenant relationship with the early Christian church. In the beginning of the history of the earth beast, the two sacred tables of Habakkuk were given as the symbol of the covenant relationship of modern Israel, the true Protestant horn, just as the sacred Constitution was given to the Republican horn. The Lord is now calling the one hundred and forty-four thousand to stand up as a mighty army, and when they do, they will be lifted up as a wave offering (ensign) as they are thrown into the furnace heated seven times hotter.

Tagaṁ bara tabol na Sangapolo a Suguon simbaron ni panagkakaited ti tulag iti nagbaetan ti kadaanan nga Israel, ken dagiti dua a wave loaves ket itakderda ti tulag a panagkikadua iti umuna a Nacristianoan nga iglesia. Iti punganay ti pakasaritaan ti daga nga animal, naited dagiti dua a nasantoan a tabol ni Habakkuk kas simbolo ti tulag a panagkikadua iti kabaruan nga Israel, ti pudno a Protestante a sungay, kas met laeng a naited ti nasantoan a Konstitusion iti Republican a sungay. Ita, ay-ayaban ti Apo dagiti sangagasut ken uppat a pulo ket uppat a ribo tapno agtakderda kas maysa a mannakabalin nga ar-armi, ket inton aramidenda dayta, maipangato danto kas maysa a wave offering (ensign) bayat a maibellengda iti pugon a pinudot iti mamitpito a pinarigatna.

That ensign represents the law of the Ten Commandments, it also represents those who walk in the furnace fire with the living Bread of Heaven beside them, and also those who uphold the foundational teachings symbolized on Habakkuk’s two sacred tables. Those emblems are all represented in the two witnesses of Revelation chapter eleven.

Tanda itu melambangkan hukum Sepuluh Perintah, juga melambangkan mereka yang berjalan di dalam perapian yang menyala-nyala dengan Roti Hidup dari Surga di sisi mereka, dan juga mereka yang menjunjung ajaran-ajaran dasar yang dilambangkan pada kedua loh kudus Habakuk. Semua lambang itu terwakili di dalam kedua saksi dalam Wahyu pasal sebelas.

Belshazzar’s judgment represents the testimony against both horns of the earth beast. In the time of that judgment, there was one woman (a church), that understood that the only man in the kingdom that could recognize and interpret the handwriting was Daniel.

Penghakiman Belsyazar melambangkan kesaksian menentang kedua-dua tanduk binatang bumi itu. Pada waktu penghakiman itu, terdapat seorang perempuan (sebuah gereja) yang memahami bahawa satu-satunya lelaki dalam kerajaan itu yang dapat mengenali dan menafsirkan tulisan tangan tersebut ialah Daniel.

> And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

> Ndzi twile hi wena leswaku u kota ku hlamusela swilo, ni ku tlhantlha ku kanakana; kutani sweswi, loko u nga hlaye ku tsariwa loku, ni ku ndzi tivisa nhlamuselo ya kona, u ta ambexiwa xiambalo xo tshwuka, u va ni ngedeni ya nsuku enhan’wini ya wena, naswona u ta va mufumi wa vunharhu ehosini. Kutani Daniyele a hlamula, a ku emahlweni ka hosi: Tinyiko ta wena a ti sale eka wena, ni ku nyika un'wana hakelo ta wena; hambiswiritano, ndzi ta hlayela hosi ku tsariwa loku, ndzi tlhela ndzi yi tivisa nhlamuselo ya kona.

> O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

> O raja, Tuhan Yang Mahatinggi telah mengaruniakan kepada Nebukadnezar, ayahmu, kerajaan, kebesaran, kemuliaan, dan kehormatan. Dan oleh karena kebesaran yang telah dikaruniakan-Nya kepadanya, segala bangsa, suku bangsa, dan bahasa gemetar dan takut di hadapannya: siapa yang dikehendakinya dibunuhnya; dan siapa yang dikehendakinya dibiarkannya hidup; dan siapa yang dikehendakinya diangkatnya; dan siapa yang dikehendakinya diturunkannya. Tetapi ketika hatinya menjadi tinggi, dan pikirannya mengeras dalam kecongkakan, ia diturunkan dari takhta kerajaannya, dan kemuliaannya diambil dari padanya. Dan ia dihalau dari antara anak-anak manusia; dan hatinya dibuat seperti binatang-binatang, dan tempat kediamannya bersama keledai-keledai liar: ia diberi makan rumput seperti lembu, dan tubuhnya dibasahi oleh embun langit; sampai ia mengetahui bahwa Tuhan Yang Mahatinggi berkuasa atas kerajaan manusia, dan bahwa Ia mengangkat atasnya siapa saja yang dikehendaki-Nya.

> And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

> အို ဗေလရှာဇာရေ၊ သင်သည် သူ၏သားဖြစ်လျက်နှင့် ဤအရာအလုံးစုံကို သိပြီးမှပင် သင်၏စိတ်နှလုံးကို မနှိမ့်ချခဲ့ချေ။ သို့ရာတွင် သင်သည် ကောင်းကင်ဘုံ၏ အရှင်ထာဝရဘုရားကို ဆန့်ကျင်၍ ကိုယ့်ကိုယ်ကို မြှောက်တင်ခဲ့၏။ သူ၏အိမ်တော်မှ တန်ဆာများကို သင်၏ရှေ့သို့ ယူဆောင်လာကြပြီး၊ သင်နှင့် သင်၏မှူးမတ်များ၊ သင်၏မိဖုရားများနှင့် သင်၏မယားငယ်များသည် ထိုတန်ဆာများတွင် စပျစ်ရည်ကို သောက်ကြ၏။ ထို့ပြင် သင်သည် မမြင်နိုင်၊ မကြားနိုင်၊ မသိနိုင်သော ငွေ၊ ရွှေ၊ ကြေးဝါ၊ သံ၊ သစ်၊ ကျောက်တို့ဖြင့် ပြုလုပ်သော ဘုရားများကို ချီးမွမ်းခဲ့၏။ သို့သော် သင်၏အသက်ရှုခြင်းသည် ကိုယ်တော်၏လက်တော်၌ ရှိ၍၊ သင်၏လမ်းခရီးအလုံးစုံတို့သည်လည်း ကိုယ်တော်ပိုင်တော်မူသော ထိုဘုရားသခင်ကို သင်သည် ဂုဏ်မပြုခဲ့ချေ။ ထို့ကြောင့် လက်၏အစိတ်အပိုင်းကို ကိုယ်တော်ထံမှ စေလွှတ်တော်မူ၍ ဤစာကို ရေးထားခဲ့သည်။ ရေးထားသောစာမှာ ဤသို့ဖြစ်၏။ MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN။ ဤသည်ကား ထိုအရာ၏ အနက်ဖြစ်၏။ MENE ဟူသည်ကား ဘုရားသခင်သည် သင်၏နိုင်ငံကို ရေတွက်တော်မူ၍ အဆုံးသတ်တော်မူပြီ။ TEKEL ဟူသည်ကား သင်သည် ချိန်ခွင်များ၌ ချိန်တွယ်ခြင်းခံရ၍ မပြည့်စုံသောသူအဖြစ် တွေ့ရပြီ။ PERES ဟူသည်ကား သင်၏နိုင်ငံသည် ပိုင်းခြားခံရ၍ မေဒိလူတို့နှင့် ပါရှန်လူတို့အား ပေးအပ်ခြင်းခံရပြီ။

> Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. Daniel 5:16–31.

> Lalu Belsyazar memberi perintah, dan mereka mengenakan kepada Daniel jubah kirmizi, serta mengalungkan rantai emas pada lehernya, dan memaklumkan tentang dia, bahwa ia akan menjadi penguasa yang ketiga dalam kerajaan itu. Pada malam itu juga Belsyazar, raja orang Kasdim, dibunuh. Dan Darius, orang Media itu, mengambil alih kerajaan, ketika ia berumur kira-kira enam puluh dua tahun. Daniel 5:16–31.

At the Sunday law in the United States the cup of iniquity and the cup of probationary time will be full, for the nation and for the apostate Republican horn and the apostate Protestant horn, for God will have “numbered” (the sixth) “kingdom, and finished it.” Both horns, and the nation will have been “weighed in the balances” (of the judgment taking place in the sanctuary) “and found wanting”. The United States will then be “divided,” as civil war and despotism ensues, and then be given to the seventh and eighth kingdoms of Bible prophecy.

Pada hukum hari Minggu di Amerika Serikat, cawan kedurhakaan dan cawan masa percobaan akan menjadi penuh, bagi bangsa itu dan bagi tanduk Republik yang murtad serta tanduk Protestan yang murtad, sebab Allah akan telah “menghitung” (kerajaan yang keenam) “dan mengakhirinya.” Kedua tanduk itu, dan bangsa itu, akan telah “ditimbang dengan neraca” (penghakiman yang sedang berlangsung di Bait Suci) “dan didapati kurang”. Amerika Serikat kemudian akan “dibagi-bagi,” sementara perang saudara dan despotisme menyusul, lalu diserahkan kepada kerajaan ketujuh dan kedelapan dalam nubuat Alkitab.

> “Of the Amorites the Lord said: ‘In the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.’ Although this nation was conspicuous because of its idolatry and corruption, it had not yet filled up the cup of its iniquity, and God would not give command for its utter destruction. The people were to see the divine power manifested in a marked manner, that they might be left without excuse. The compassionate Creator was willing to bear with their iniquity until the fourth generation. Then, if no change was seen for the better, His judgments were to fall upon them.

> “Bagi orang Amori, Tuhan berfirman: ‘Pada keturunan yang keempat mereka akan kembali ke sini, sebab kedurjanaan orang Amori itu belum genap.’ Meskipun bangsa ini menonjol karena penyembahan berhalanya dan kerusakannya, mereka belum juga memenuhi cawan kedurjanaannya, dan Allah tidak akan memberikan perintah untuk kebinasaan mereka seluruhnya. Bangsa itu harus melihat kuasa ilahi dinyatakan dengan nyata, supaya mereka dibiarkan tanpa dalih. Sang Pencipta yang penuh belas kasihan rela menanggung kedurjanaan mereka sampai keturunan yang keempat. Kemudian, jika tidak tampak perubahan ke arah yang lebih baik, penghakiman-Nya akan dijatuhkan atas mereka.”

> “With unerring accuracy the Infinite One still keeps an account with all nations. While His mercy is tendered with calls to repentance, this account will remain open; but when the figures reach a certain amount which God has fixed, the ministry of His wrath commences. The account is closed. Divine patience ceases. There is no more pleading of mercy in their behalf.

> “Ka kut iathuh kaba khlem bakla, U Bymjukut u dang bat ïa ka jingkheiñ bad ki paidbah ka pyrthei baroh. Katba ïa ka jingïasynei jong U la tyrwa ryngkat bad ki jingkhot sha ka jingïakylla kaba mut, kane ka jingkheiñ kan dang sah plie; hynrei ynda ki jingïaṅkhein ki poi sha kata ka jingïoh kyrdan kaba U Blei hi u la buh, ka jingshakri jong ka jingbitar jong U ka sdang. La khang ïa ka jingkheiñ. Ka jingïaishah bakynjai jong U Blei ka kut. Ym don shuh ka jingïaïasaid da ka jingïasynei na ka bynta jong ki.

> “The prophet, looking down the ages, had this time presented before his vision. The nations of this age have been the recipients of unprecedented mercies. The choicest of heaven’s blessings have been given them, but increased pride, covetousness, idolatry, contempt of God, and base ingratitude are written against them. They are fast closing up their account with God.

> “Nabi itu, sambil memandang sepanjang zaman, melihat masa ini terhampar di hadapan penglihatannya. Bangsa-bangsa pada zaman ini telah menjadi penerima rahmat yang tiada bandingnya. Berkat-berkat pilihan dari surga telah dikaruniakan kepada mereka, tetapi kesombongan yang kian bertambah, ketamakan, penyembahan berhala, penghinaan terhadap Allah, dan kedurhakaan yang hina tercatat terhadap mereka. Mereka sedang dengan cepat menutup perhitungan mereka dengan Allah.

> “But that which causes me to tremble is the fact that those who have had the greatest light and privileges have become contaminated by the prevailing iniquity. Influenced by the unrighteous around them, many, even of those who profess the truth, have grown cold and are borne down by the strong current of evil. The universal scorn thrown upon true piety and holiness leads those who do not connect closely with God to lose their reverence for His law. If they were following the light and obeying the truth from the heart, this holy law would seem even more precious to them when thus despised and set aside. As the disrespect for God’s law becomes more manifest, the line of demarcation between its observers and the world becomes more distinct. Love for the divine precepts increases with one class according as contempt for them increases with another class.

> “The crisis is fast approaching. The rapidly swelling figures show that the time for God’s visitation has about come. Although loath to punish, nevertheless He will punish, and that speedily. Those who walk in the light will see signs of the approaching peril; but they are not to sit in quiet, unconcerned expectancy of the ruin, comforting themselves with the belief that God will shelter His people in the day of visitation. Far from it. They should realize that it is their duty to labor diligently to save others, looking with strong faith to God for help. ‘The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.’

> “The command is: ‘Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.’ These sighing, crying ones had been holding forth the words of life; they had reproved, counseled, and entreated. Some who had been dishonoring God repented and humbled their hearts before Him. But the glory of the Lord had departed from Israel; although many still continued the forms of religion, His power and presence were lacking.” Testimonies, volume 5, 208–210.

Those represented by Daniel as he stood before Belshazzar, who know the “Future for America“, will then receive Daniel’s “scarlet robe”, a “necklace of gold”, and be proclaimed as “the third ruler in the kingdom.” Scarlet is the sign and color of the first born, who receive a double portion of the Father’s inheritance, who are the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Orang-orang yang dilambangkan oleh Daniel ketika ia berdiri di hadapan Belsyazar, yang mengetahui “Masa Depan bagi America”, pada waktu itu akan menerima “jubah kirmizi” Daniel, “kalung emas”, dan diumumkan sebagai “penguasa yang ketiga dalam kerajaan.” Kirmizi adalah tanda dan warna anak sulung, yang menerima bagian ganda dari warisan Bapa, yaitu mereka yang berjumlah seratus empat puluh empat ribu.

> These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. Revelation 14:4.

> Merehlah orang-orang yang tidak menajiskan diri dengan perempuan-perempuan; kerana mereka itu perawan. Mereka inilah yang mengikuti Anak Domba itu ke mana sahaja Ia pergi. Mereka telah ditebus daripada antara manusia, sebagai buah sulung bagi Allah dan bagi Anak Domba itu. Wahyu 14:4.

Of the two loaves that are lifted up as an ensign, it is the first born (the first fruits), who has a scarlet thread placed upon their hand.

Madi dua roti na iungkap tu dolok tanda, i ma si parjolo tubu (buah-buah parjolo), na dipasang benang rara di tangan ni nasida.

> And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah. Genesis 38:28–30.

> Maka terjadilah, ketika ia sedang bersalin, yang seorang mengulurkan tangannya; lalu bidan mengambil seutas benang kirmizi dan mengikatkannya pada tangannya, katanya, “Inilah yang keluar terlebih dahulu.” Tetapi terjadilah, ketika ia menarik kembali tangannya, sesungguhnya saudaranyalah yang keluar; maka berkatalah ia, “Bagaimanakah engkau menerobos keluar? Terobosan ini tertimpa atasmu.” Sebab itu namanya disebut Pharez. Kemudian keluarlah saudaranya, yang pada tangannya ada benang kirmizi itu; dan namanya disebut Zarah. Kejadian 38:28–30.

The first mention of “scarlet” in the Scriptures is when “Zarah,” who is the first born, and whose name means ‘a rising light,’ came out first, from the twins that were fathered by Judah. The mother, Tamar (who had played the harlot), was the wife of Judah’s deceased, wicked son. Zarah, the ‘rising light,’ came from the tribe of Judah, and had a scarlet thread upon his hand. “Pharez” means to break out, and he represents those that break away from the papacy, and come out of Babylon during the Sunday law crisis.

Kgopolo ya pele ya “mmala o mohubedu wa sekareleta” mo Dikwalong ke fa “Zarah,” yo e neng e le leitibolo, mme yo leina la gagwe le rayang ‘lesedi le le tlhogang,’ a ne a tlhagelela pele, mo baneng ba mafatlha ba ba neng ba geetswe ke Juda. Mmaabone, Tamare (yo o neng a dirile boaka), e ne e le mosadi wa morwa yo o sule wa ga Juda, yo o bosula. Zarah, ‘lesedi le le tlhogang,’ o ne a tswa mo lotso lwa ga Juda, mme o ne a na le mogala wa sekareleta mo seatleng sa gagwe. “Pharez” go raya go phatloga kgotsa go phunyega, mme o emela ba ba ikgaolang mo bopapeng, ba bo ba tswa mo Babelona ka nako ya mathata a molao wa Sontaga.

The “scarlet line” was also the sign that protected the harlot of Jericho, when the city of Jericho was destroyed.

“Garis merah” juga merupakan tanda yang melindungi perempuan sundal dari Yerikho, ketika kota Yerikho dimusnahkan.

> Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee. And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him. And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window. Joshua 2:18–21.

> “Lihatlah, apabila kami masuk ke negeri itu, engkau harus mengikat tali benang kirmizi ini pada jendela yang melaluinya engkau menurunkan kami; dan engkau harus membawa ayahmu, ibumu, saudara-saudaramu, dan seluruh kaum keluargamu dari pihak ayahmu, masuk ke rumahmu. Dan akan terjadi, bahwa siapa pun yang keluar dari pintu-pintu rumahmu ke jalan, darahnya akan tertanggung atas kepalanya sendiri, dan kami tidak bersalah; tetapi siapa pun yang ada bersamamu di dalam rumah itu, darahnya akan tertanggung atas kepala kami, jika ada tangan yang menjamahnya. Namun jika engkau membocorkan perkara kami ini, maka kami akan bebas dari sumpahmu yang telah kaubuat kami bersumpah.” Lalu katanya, “Menurut perkataanmu itu, jadilah demikian.” Kemudian ia melepaskan mereka pergi, lalu mereka berangkat; dan ia mengikat tali kirmizi itu pada jendela. Yosua 2:18–21.

Daniel’s scarlet garment identifies that he then represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand, the first of two wave loaves that are lifted up. As loaves of bread they represent the Bread of heaven, who was given a scarlet robe in the common hall on His way to the crucifixion. In Belshazzar’s banquet hall, which typified the common hall where Jesus was given a robe of scarlet, it is given to those that understand the crisis that is just ahead in the “Future for America”.

Jubah kirmizi Daniel menandakan bahawa pada ketika itu dia melambangkan seratus empat puluh empat ribu orang, yang pertama daripada dua roti persembahan unjukan yang diangkat. Sebagai roti, mereka melambangkan Roti dari syurga, yang telah diberikan jubah kirmizi di balai umum dalam perjalanan-Nya menuju penyaliban. Di balai perjamuan Belsyazar, yang melambangkan balai umum tempat Yesus diberikan jubah kirmizi, jubah itu diberikan kepada mereka yang memahami krisis yang berada tepat di hadapan dalam “Future for America”.

> Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. Matthew 27:27, 28.

> Banjur bala tentarané gubernur nuli nggawa Gusti Yésus mlebet ing balé pangadilan, lan nglumpukaké marang Panjenengané saklèhé pasukan tentara. Banjur Panjenengané dilucuti, lan dipunagemi jubah abrit. Matius 27:27, 28.

The robe given to those represented by Daniel is Christ’s robe of righteousness, which is white.

Searo se negoa ma adinggipa nikanianirangko on·gimin searo, Kristoni toromi ong·gipa searo ong·a, jean bilsi.

> Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Revelation 19:7, 8.

> Marilah kita bersukacita dan bergembira, serta memberikan hormat kepada-Nya; karena perkawinan Anak Domba telah tiba, dan istri-Nya telah mempersiapkan dirinya. Dan kepadanya dikaruniakan untuk mengenakan lenan halus, bersih dan putih; karena lenan halus itu adalah kebenaran orang-orang kudus. Wahyu 19:7, 8.

The robe given to those represented as Daniel is both scarlet and white, for their robes have been washed with fuller’s soap, by the fuller of Malachi chapter three, when he purifies the sons of Levi.

Jubah yang diberikan kepada mereka yang digambarkan sebagai Daniel adalah merah tua dan juga putih, karena jubah mereka telah dibasuh dengan sabun tukang pemutih, oleh tukang pemutih dalam Maleakhi pasal tiga, ketika ia mentahirkan bani Lewi.

> But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Malachi 3:2, 3.

> Tetapi siapakah yang dapat bertahan pada hari kedatangan-Nya? Dan siapakah yang akan tetap berdiri apabila Ia menampakkan diri? Sebab Ia seperti api pemurni, dan seperti sabun tukang penatu. Dan Ia akan duduk seperti seorang pemurni dan pentahir perak; dan Ia akan mentahirkan bani Lewi, dan memurnikan mereka seperti emas dan perak, supaya mereka dapat mempersembahkan kepada Tuhan suatu persembahan dalam kebenaran. Maleakhi 3:2, 3.

The robe is white, but only because it was washed in the scarlet blood of the lamb.

Jubah itu putih, tetapi hanya kerana telah dibasuh dalam darah merah kesumba Anak Domba.

> And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5, 6.

The first mention of a golden chain, is when Joseph is appointed to the leadership of Egypt.

Go bolelwa la ntlha ka kgole ya gouta ke fa Josefa a tlhomiwa go etelela Egepeto pele.

> And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck. Genesis 41:41–43.

> Lalu Firaun berkata kepada Yusuf, “Lihatlah, aku telah menetapkan engkau atas seluruh tanah Mesir.” Maka Firaun menanggalkan cincinnya dari tangannya dan mengenakannya pada tangan Yusuf, lalu mengenakan kepada Yusuf pakaian dari lenan halus, dan memasang sebuah rantai emas pada lehernya; dan ia menyuruh Yusuf menaiki kereta yang kedua sesudah keretanya sendiri; dan orang berseru di hadapannya, “Berlututlah!” Demikianlah ia menjadikannya penguasa atas seluruh tanah Mesir. Dan Firaun menanggalkan cincinnya dari tangannya dan mengenakannya pada tangan Yusuf, lalu mengenakan kepada Yusuf pakaian dari lenan halus, dan memasang sebuah rantai emas pada lehernya. Kejadian 41:41–43.

The reason Joseph was appointed by Pharaoh as the ruler over Egypt, was that Joseph could interpret Pharaoh’s dream of “seven times,” in connection with the destructive blast of the “east wind.”

Lebaka le le dirileng gore Faro a tlhome Josefa go nna mmusi wa Egepeto, e ne e le gore Josefa o ne a kgona go phutholola toro ya Faro ya “dinako di le supa,” e e amanang le phefo e e senyang ya “botlhaba.”

> And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me. And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do. Genesis 41:17–25.

Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream with the principle of “line upon line”, for he first informed Pharaoh the two dreams were one. He then interpreted the word “seven,” that was associated with the “kine,” and the “ears,” as symbols. The word “seven” in the passage is the same word translated as “seven times,” in Leviticus twenty-six. Joseph interpreted the “seven” as a symbol of seven years, or twenty-five hundred and twenty days. Joseph and Daniel were both interpreting a symbol of the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six.

Josefa alitafsiri ndoto ya Farao kwa kanuni ya “mstari juu ya mstari,” kwa maana kwanza alimjulisha Farao kwamba zile ndoto mbili zilikuwa ni moja. Kisha akalitafsiri neno “saba,” lililohusishwa na “ng’ombe,” na “masuke,” kama alama. Neno “saba” katika kifungu hicho ndilo neno lilelile lililotafsiriwa kuwa “nyakati saba,” katika Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita. Josefa aliitafsiri hiyo “saba” kuwa ishara ya miaka saba, au siku elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini. Josefa na Danieli wote wawili walikuwa wakitafsiri alama ya zile “nyakati saba” za Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita.

In Pharaoh’s dream, the famine was produced by the ears of corn being “blasted with the east wind.” Line upon line, as Joseph directly employs, the “east wind” identifies that it is Islam that produces the period of famine and economic crash that begins when Joseph and Daniel are given the golden necklace, representing the lifting up of the ensign to the world (Joseph’s Egypt), and to call God’s other flock out of (Daniel’s) Babylon.

Dalam mimpi Firaun, kebuluran itu dihasilkan oleh bulir-bulir gandum yang “dipanaskan oleh angin timur.” Baris demi baris, sebagaimana Yusuf gunakan secara langsung, “angin timur” itu mengenal pasti bahawa Islamlah yang menghasilkan tempoh kebuluran dan kejatuhan ekonomi yang bermula apabila Yusuf dan Daniel diberikan rantai emas itu, yang melambangkan pengangkatan panji kepada dunia (Mesir Yusuf), dan untuk memanggil kawanan domba Allah yang lain keluar dari Babilon (Daniel).

The two horns of the United States are represented by all the powers of Bible prophecy that are represented as two nations. This would include France, which consists prophetically of Sodom and Egypt, and of Israel that consisted of the northern and southern kingdoms, and also of the Medo-Persian Empire. The two horns of Medo-Persia in Daniel chapter eight, identify that one of the horns of the kingdom comes up last.

Tanduk dua pada Amerika Syarikat dilambangkan oleh segala kuasa dalam nubuat Alkitab yang digambarkan sebagai dua bangsa. Ini termasuk Perancis, yang secara nubuat terdiri daripada Sodom dan Mesir, dan juga Israel yang terdiri daripada kerajaan utara dan selatan, serta Empayar Media-Persia. Dua tanduk Media-Persia dalam Daniel pasal lapan mengenal pasti bahawa salah satu tanduk kerajaan itu muncul kemudian.

> Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. Daniel 8:3.

> Kemudian aku mengangkat mataku dan melihat, dan sesungguhnya, berdiri di tepi sungai seekor domba jantan yang mempunyai dua tanduk; kedua tanduk itu tinggi, tetapi yang satu lebih tinggi daripada yang lain, dan yang lebih tinggi itu tumbuh kemudian. Daniel 8:3.

The two horns of Medo-Persia represent the two horns of the earth beast, and one of the horns of the earth beast must therefore be higher and come up last. At the time of the end in 1798, the reign of the earth beast began, and the horn of Protestantism was taken to Mount Carmel by Elijah the prophet, represented by William Miller. There was to be a contest that manifested a distinction between the true prophet and false prophet, which would be accomplished at the test of Mount Carmel, that took place from August 11, 1840 through to October 22, 1844.

Tanduk dua bagi Medo-Persia melambangkan dua tanduk binatang dari bumi, dan oleh itu salah satu daripada tanduk binatang dari bumi itu mestilah lebih tinggi dan muncul kemudian. Pada waktu kesudahan pada tahun 1798, pemerintahan binatang dari bumi itu bermula, dan tanduk Protestanisme telah dibawa ke Gunung Karmel oleh nabi Elia, yang diwakili oleh William Miller. Harus ada suatu pertentangan yang menyatakan perbezaan antara nabi yang benar dengan nabi palsu, yang akan disempurnakan dalam ujian di Gunung Karmel, yang berlangsung dari 11 Ogos 1840 hingga 22 Oktober 1844.

Millerite Adventism was providentially identified as the true prophet, at the same time that the Protestant denominations of the United States returned to, and became the daughters of papal Rome. In 1863, the true Protestant horn of Millerite Adventism returned to the same communion as apostate Protestantism by returning to the corrupt method of Bible study as apostate Protestantism, as they began their progressive work of rejecting the message of Elijah. In the same period of time the U.S. Civil War began. (Note that when the Holy Spirit is rejected, then the other spirit takes over, and war is always the result.) The nation was then literally, politically and prophetically divided. The horn of Republicanism, from that point on, would be in an escalating struggle between two primary political parties.

ಮಿಲ್ಲರೈಟ್ ಅಡ್ವೆಂಟಿಸಂನು ದೈವಪರಿಪಾಲನೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ಸತ್ಯ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಯಾಗಿ ಗುರುತಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತು; ಅದೇ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಮೆರಿಕ ಸಂಯುಕ್ತ ಸಂಸ್ಥಾನಗಳ ಪ್ರೊಟೆಸ್ಟಂಟ್ ಪಂಥಗಳು ಮತ್ತೆ ಪಾಪಮಯ ರೋಮಿನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ, ಅದರ ಪುತ್ರಿಯರಾದವು. 1863ರಲ್ಲಿ, ಮಿಲ್ಲರೈಟ್ ಅಡ್ವೆಂಟಿಸಂ ಎಂಬ ಸತ್ಯ ಪ್ರೊಟೆಸ್ಟಂಟ್ ಕೊಂಬು, ಎಲೀಯನ ಸಂದೇಶವನ್ನು ತಿರಸ್ಕರಿಸುವ ತಮ್ಮ ಕ್ರಮೇಣ ವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗುವ ಕಾರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದಾಗ, ಧರ್ಮಭ್ರಷ್ಟ ಪ್ರೊಟೆಸ್ಟಾಂಟಿಸಂ ಅನುಸರಿಸಿದ ಅದೇ ಭ್ರಷ್ಟ ಬೈಬಲ್ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ವಿಧಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗುವುದರ ಮೂಲಕ, ಧರ್ಮಭ್ರಷ್ಟ ಪ್ರೊಟೆಸ್ಟಾಂಟಿಸಂನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಅದೇ ಸಹಭಾಗಿತ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ಮರಳಿತು. ಅದೇ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಮೆರಿಕದ ಗೃಹಯುದ್ಧವು ಆರಂಭವಾಯಿತು. (ಗಮನಿಸಿರಿ: ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನು ತಿರಸ್ಕರಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಾಗ, ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಆತ್ಮವು ಆಳಿಕೆ ವಹಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ; ಅದರ ಫಲವು ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ಯುದ್ಧವೇ ಆಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ.) ಆಗ ಆ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರವು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ, ರಾಜಕೀಯವಾಗಿಯೂ ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ರವಾದಿತ್ವದ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿಂದಲೂ ವಿಭಜಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತ್ತು. ಆ ಹಂತದಿಂದ ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ, ರಿಪಬ್ಲಿಕನಿಸಂನ ಕೊಂಬು ಎರಡು ಪ್ರಮುಖ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಪಕ್ಷಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಾ ಹೋಗುವ ಹೋರಾಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಲುಕಿಕೊಂಡಿರಬೇಕಾಗಿತ್ತು.

From 1863, a symbol of division, for the year was the very center of the civil war between North and South, there was brought about two political factions of the Republican horn and two factions of the Protestant horn that consisted of the Democratic and Republican parties, and Sunday-keeping and Sabbath-keeping apostate Protestants. The two-fold division of either horn was typified in the days of Christ by the Sadducees and the Pharisees. One class outright rejected the founding principles, and the other professed to uphold the founding principles, but ultimately replaced them with human traditions and customs.

Sejak tahun 1863, suatu lambang perpecahan, karena tahun itu merupakan pusat dari perang saudara antara Utara dan Selatan, telah timbul dua faksi politik dari tanduk Republik dan dua faksi dari tanduk Protestan, yang terdiri dari partai Demokrat dan Republik, serta orang-orang Protestan murtad pemelihara hari Minggu dan pemelihara Sabat. Perpecahan ganda dari masing-masing tanduk itu dilambangkan pada zaman Kristus oleh kaum Saduki dan kaum Farisi. Satu golongan secara terang-terangan menolak prinsip-prinsip pendirian, dan golongan yang lain mengaku menjunjung prinsip-prinsip pendirian itu, tetapi pada akhirnya menggantikannya dengan tradisi dan adat istiadat manusia.

On September 11, 2001, the image of the beast testing period was prophetically initiated, and it reaches its climax at the Sunday law, or at Belshazzar’s drunken feast. The Sunday law is the mark that identifies that the combination of church and state is fully developed. At that point, the two horns of apostate Republicanism and apostate Protestantism become one apostate horn, and it is then that Daniel is made the third horn, or third ruler, or the true Protestant horn that comes up last and is higher, for it is then that he is lifted up as an ensign.

Pada 11 September 2001, masa ujian imej binatang itu telah dimulakan secara nubuat, dan ia mencapai kemuncaknya pada undang-undang Ahad, atau pada perjamuan mabuk Belsyazar. Undang-undang Ahad ialah tanda yang mengenal pasti bahawa gabungan gereja dan negara telah berkembang sepenuhnya. Pada ketika itu, dua tanduk Republikanisme murtad dan Protestanisme murtad menjadi satu tanduk murtad, dan pada saat itulah Daniel dijadikan tanduk yang ketiga, atau pemerintah yang ketiga, atau tanduk Protestan yang sejati yang muncul terakhir dan lebih tinggi, kerana pada saat itulah dia diangkat sebagai panji-panji.

Joseph and Daniel are the same line of prophecy, for line upon line, all the prophets are identifying the last days. They both recognized the “seven times,” when they saw it. The “east wind” of Islam is coming in under the wall, as they provide their interpretation to Belshazzar and Pharaoh of what the “Future for America” is. They are wearing the “scarlet robe” of Christ’s righteousness, which is the “white robe” that is made so, by the blood of Christ. They are lifted up as an ensign and represented as a crown, or a golden chain, as they become the third ruler that comes up higher and comes up last.

Joseph na Daniel ni mstari uleule wa unabii, kwa kuwa, mstari juu ya mstari, manabii wote wanayatambua siku za mwisho. Wote wawili walitambua “nyakati saba,” walipoiona. “Upepo wa mashariki” wa Uislamu unakuja kwa kuingia chini ya ukuta, wanapotoa tafsiri yao kwa Belshaza na Farao kuhusu “Wakati Ujao wa Amerika” ulivyo. Wamevaa “vazi jekundu” la haki ya Kristo, ambalo ndilo “vazi jeupe” lifanywalo hivyo kwa damu ya Kristo. Wanainuliwa kama bendera na kuwakilishwa kama taji, au mnyororo wa dhahabu, wanapokuwa mtawala wa tatu apandaye juu zaidi na apandaye mwisho.

We will continue with Daniel chapter six, in the next article.

> “In that last night of mad folly, Belshazzar and his lords had filled up the measure of their guilt and the guilt of the Chaldean kingdom. No longer could God’s restraining hand ward off the impending evil. Through manifold providences, God had sought to teach them reverence for His law. ‘We would have healed Babylon,’ He declared of those whose judgment was now reaching unto heaven, ‘but she is not healed.’ Jeremiah 51:9. Because of the strange perversity of the human heart, God had at last found it necessary to pass the irrevocable sentence. Belshazzar was to fall, and his kingdom was to pass into other hands.” Prophets and Kings, 530.
