Inspiration is clear that chapter three of Daniel, represents the Sunday law in the United States. In Isaiah chapter twenty-three, the whore of Tyre, who commits fornication with the kings of the earth, is the whore of Revelation that commits fornication with the kings of the earth. In Revelation seventeen, that whore has Babylon the Great written on her forehead.

Kgaletso e hlakile gore kgaolo ya boraro ya Daniele e emela molao wa Sontaga kwa United States. Mo go Isaia kgaolo ya masome a mabedi le boraro, seaka sa Ture, se se dirang boaka le dikgosi tsa lefatshe, ke sone seaka sa Tshenolo se se dirang boaka le dikgosi tsa lefatshe. Mo go Tshenolo lesome le bosupa, seaka seo se na le mafoko a a kwadilweng mo phatleng ya sone a a reng: Babelona yo Mogolo.

> And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:4, 5.

> Jeung éta awéwé dipaparin pakéan warna ungu jeung beureum kirmizi, dihias ku emas, ku batu-batu mulia, jeung mutiara, bari nyekel hiji cangkir emas dina leungeunna, pinuh ku kalepatan-kalepatan anu matak jijik jeung ku kakotoran tina cabulna. Jeung dina tarangna aya hiji ngaran anu ditulis: RAHASIA, BÉBILON ANU AGUNG, INDUNG PARA PALACUR JEUNG SAGALA KAJIJIKAN DI BUMI. Wahyu 17:4, 5.

Before 1950, English dictionaries correctly identified the woman represented in these two verses, as the Roman Catholic church. The whole world knew after the Dark Ages of Catholic persecutions that were accomplished from 538 through 1798; that the Roman church was the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The Declaration of Independence was designed as a rejection of the rule of Catholicism and also the rule of the earthly kings that had formed unholy relationships with the whore. Isaiah chapter twenty-three, identifies that the whore would be forgotten. You would never find the definition of the whore of Revelation seventeen as the Catholic church in any modern search engines, for God’s Word never fails, and God’s Word states that she would be forgotten.

Sebelum tahun 1950, kamus-kamus bahasa Inggeris dengan tepat mengenal pasti wanita yang dilambangkan dalam kedua-dua ayat ini sebagai gereja Roman Katolik. Seluruh dunia mengetahui, setelah Zaman Kegelapan, tentang penganiayaan Katolik yang telah dilaksanakan dari tahun 538 hingga 1798; bahawa gereja Rom ialah pelacur yang melakukan percabulan dengan raja-raja di bumi. Perisytiharan Kemerdekaan dirancang sebagai penolakan terhadap pemerintahan Katolikisme dan juga pemerintahan raja-raja duniawi yang telah membentuk hubungan yang tidak kudus dengan pelacur itu. Yesaya fasal dua puluh tiga mengenal pasti bahawa pelacur itu akan dilupakan. Anda tidak akan pernah menemukan takrif pelacur dalam Wahyu tujuh belas sebagai gereja Katolik dalam mana-mana enjin carian moden, kerana Firman Tuhan tidak pernah gagal, dan Firman Tuhan menyatakan bahawa dia akan dilupakan.

> And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Isaiah 23:15–18.

> 이 날에 두로가 한 왕의 날수와 같이 칠십 년 동안 잊히리니, 칠십 년이 끝난 후에는 두로가 기생의 노래를 부르리라. 수금을 가지고 성읍을 두루 다니라, 잊혀졌던 기생아; 아름다운 곡조를 연주하며 많은 노래를 부르라, 네가 다시 기억되게 하려 함이라. 칠십 년이 끝난 후에 주께서 두로를 돌보시리니, 그녀가 다시 그 삯으로 돌아가 땅의 얼굴 위에 있는 세상의 모든 나라들과 더불어 음행하리라. 그러나 그녀의 상품과 그 삯은 주께 성결한 것이 되리니, 쌓아 두거나 저장하지 아니할 것이라. 이는 그녀의 상품이 주 앞에 거하는 자들을 위하여 넉넉히 먹게 하는 것과 오래 입을 옷을 위한 것이 될 것임이라. 이사야 23:15–18.

God’s Word never fails, and since 1798, the whore has been forgotten, but in the last days she will be remembered. She is remembered when God’s seventh-day Sabbath is attacked, and it is the one commandment of the Ten Commandments, that was always to be remembered. She is remembered when she takes her harp, travels around the city and makes sweet melodies and many songs. She sings her songs at the end of seventy years, that are the days of one king. A king, according to Daniel chapter two, is a kingdom.

Bumazwi bwa Nyasaye sibwakhwanga tawe, ne okuva mu 1798, omukhasi omwifule yafukanwa, ne naye mu nsiku ezisembayo alijjukirwa. Ajjukirwa lindi Isabato ya Nyasaye ey’olunaku olw’omusanvu erumbibwa, era niyo ekiragiro ekimu ku Biragiro Ekkumi, ekyaali bulijjo okwibukirwanga. Ajjukirwa lindi akwata ennanga ye, atambula okwetooloola ekibuga era akuba ennyimba ennungi n’ennyimba nyingi. Ayimba ennyimba ze ku nkomerero y’emyaka nsanvu, egyo gye nnaku za kabaka omu. Kabaka, ng’okusinziira ku Daniyeri essuula ey’okubiri, bwe buli obwakabaka.

> And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. Daniel 2:38.

> Dan di mana pun anak-anak manusia diam, binatang-binatang di padang dan burung-burung di langit telah diserahkan-Nya ke dalam tanganmu, dan Ia telah menjadikan engkau berkuasa atas mereka semuanya. Engkaulah kepala dari emas itu. Daniel 2:38.

A “head,” or a “king” are both symbols of a kingdom. The kingdom that is represented by the “days of one king,” is the United States. The United States began its prophetic rule as the earth beast when the deadly wound was delivered to the whore of Babylon in 1798. It continues as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy until the Sunday law. The literal kingdom of Bible prophecy that actually ruled for seventy years was Babylon.

> Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. Jeremiah 25:9–12.

> Lihatlah, Aku akan mengutus dan mengambil segala kaum dari utara, firman TUHAN, dan Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, hamba-Ku, lalu Aku akan mendatangkan mereka melawan negeri ini, melawan penduduknya, dan melawan segala bangsa di sekelilingnya; dan Aku akan memunahkan mereka sama sekali, serta menjadikan mereka suatu kengerian, suatu celaan, dan reruntuhan yang kekal. Lebih lagi, Aku akan melenyapkan dari mereka suara kegirangan dan suara sukacita, suara mempelai laki-laki dan suara mempelai perempuan, bunyi batu kilangan, dan cahaya pelita. Dan seluruh negeri ini akan menjadi kehancuran dan kengerian; dan bangsa-bangsa ini akan menjadi hamba kepada raja Babel tujuh puluh tahun lamanya. Maka akan terjadi, apabila genap tujuh puluh tahun itu, bahwa Aku akan menghukum raja Babel dan bangsa itu, firman TUHAN, karena kesalahan mereka, juga negeri orang Kasdim, dan Aku akan menjadikannya reruntuhan yang kekal. Yeremia 25:9–12.

Literal Babylon ruled for seventy years, typifying the kingdom in the last days which will reign for seventy symbolic years. Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, attacked Judah three times. The first attack was against Jehoiakim, and the seventy years of Jeremiah’s prophecy then began. It ended with the death of Belshazzar, when God punished “the king of Babylon,” as he had punished king Jehoiakim in the beginning of the seventy years. The prophetic kingdom that is represented as “days of one king” (one kingdom) as “seventy years” was Babylon, and the kingdom of Bible prophecy that rules for the seventy symbolic years during the time when the whore of Tyre is forgotten, is the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. The transition from the fifth to sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1798, is part of the truth that John is illustrating in Revelation chapter thirteen.

Babilon yang harfiah memerintah selama tujuh puluh tahun, melambangkan kerajaan pada akhir zaman yang akan berkuasa selama tujuh puluh tahun simbolik. Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, menyerang Yehuda tiga kali. Serangan pertama ditujukan terhadap Yoyakim, dan pada saat itulah tujuh puluh tahun nubuat Yeremia dimulai. Masa itu berakhir dengan kematian Belsyazar, ketika Allah menghukum “raja Babel,” sebagaimana Ia telah menghukum raja Yoyakim pada permulaan tujuh puluh tahun itu. Kerajaan nubuatan yang digambarkan sebagai “hari-hari satu raja” (satu kerajaan) sebagai “tujuh puluh tahun” adalah Babel, dan kerajaan dalam nubuat Alkitab yang memerintah selama tujuh puluh tahun simbolik pada masa ketika perempuan sundal Tirus dilupakan, ialah binatang bumi dari Wahyu pasal tiga belas. Peralihan dari kerajaan kelima kepada kerajaan keenam dalam nubuat Alkitab pada tahun 1798 merupakan bagian dari kebenaran yang sedang Yohanes gambarkan dalam Wahyu pasal tiga belas.

> And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. . . . And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:1, 11.

> Суулангийн элс дээр би зогсоод, тэнгисээс долоон толгой, арван эвэртэй нэгэн араатан гарч ирэхийг харлаа; түүний эвэр бүр дээр арван титэм, толгойнууд дээр нь доромжлолын нэр байв.... Тэгээд би өөр нэгэн араатан газраас гарч ирэхийг үзэв; тэр нь хурганы адил хоёр эвэртэй атлаа луу мэт ярьж байв. Илчлэл 13:1, 11.

The seashore which John stood upon in Revelation chapter thirteen, represents 1798.

Pantai laut tempat Yohanes berdiri dalam Wahyu pasal tiga belas melambangkan tahun 1798.

> “At the time when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, is represented by a beast with lamblike horns. The beasts preceding it had risen from the sea; but this came up out of the earth, representing the peaceful rise of the nation which it symbolized—the United States.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.

> “Pada masa ketika Kepausan, yang telah dirampas kekuatannya, dipaksa menghentikan penganiayaan, Yohanes melihat suatu kuasa baru muncul untuk menggemakan suara naga itu, dan melanjutkan pekerjaan yang sama kejam dan menghujat itu. Kuasa ini, yang terakhir yang akan berperang melawan gereja dan hukum Allah, dilambangkan oleh seekor binatang dengan tanduk seperti anak domba. Binatang-binatang yang mendahuluinya telah muncul dari laut; tetapi yang ini muncul dari bumi, yang melambangkan kebangkitan yang damai dari bangsa yang dilambangkannya—Amerika Serikat.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.

The beast from the sea was divided by the sand of the sea from the beast of the earth. The fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1798 (the seashore), represented past history, and the sixth kingdom was future history. The Millerites did not see this truth. William Miller was given insight into the dragon power of paganism and its relationship with the following kingdom represented as the beast of Catholicism. Revelation thirteen, opens up the story of the false prophet, that is the third of the three powers which lead the world to Armageddon. The story begins on the seashore of 1798.

Mʉnyama ʉla ukufuma mʉ nyanja akapalukanishiwaga ku musenyenge gwa nyanja na mʉnyama ʉla uwa mʉ ndʉnga. ʉBufalme ubwa buthano ubwa ubusololi bwa mwi Bibilia mu 1798 (ku mʉnʉnkho gwa nyanja), ubwakilishanga umlandu uwalepita, so ubufalme ubwa ntanda bwali mlandu uwa ndata. AbaMillerite batakakibonaga ichi icha kweli. William Miller akapegwa ubumanyi mu maka ga nzoka aga upagani ni ndandano yakwe na bufalme ubwakwisako ubwakilishiwaga nga mʉnyama wa Ukatoliki. Ubusetuli ikumi na buthatu, bukwigula inkani ya mʉsololi wa bulebe, niyo iya buthatu mu maka gataatu agakuulongozya isi yosa ku Armagedoni. Inkani iyi yikwanda pa mʉnʉnkho gwa nyanja gwa 1798.

The United States begins its history with the symbolism of the lamb, but ends its history speaking as a dragon. The history of the symbolic seventy years of the reign of the earth beast is represented in one verse, in chapter thirteen of Revelation, for the verse identifies both the beginning and ending of the earth beast in the same sentence.

United States e sima histori blong hem wetem simbol blong sipsip, be i finis histori blong hem taem i toktok olsem wan dragan. Histori blong simbolik sevanti yia blong rul blong animol blong wol i kasem ripresentesen blong hem long wan ves nomo, long japta triin blong Buk blong Revelesen, from we ves ia i soem tufala tu stat mo en blong animol blong wol long sem sentens.

> And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11.

> Ndzi vona xivandzana xin’wana xi huma emisaveni; naswona a xi ri ni timhondzo timbirhi to fana ni ta xinyimpfana, kambe a xi vulavula kukota dragona. Nhlavutelo 13:11.

When the United States speaks as a dragon, it passes the Sunday law. Before it accomplishes the enforcement of Sunday worship the apostate churches of Protestantism will come together and take political control of the apostate government, as they form the image of the beast. When inspiration identifies (and it does so repeatedly), that Nebuchadnezzar’s dedication service of the golden image represents the Sunday law, it is marking the end of the seventy symbolic years of the earth beast. Daniel chapters one through three, represent the three angels’ messages of Revelation chapter fourteen. The third angel becomes a living truth at the Sunday law.

Apabila Amerika Syarikat bertutur seperti naga, ia meluluskan undang-undang Hari Ahad. Sebelum ia melaksanakan penguatkuasaan penyembahan pada Hari Ahad, gereja-gereja Protestan yang murtad akan bersatu lalu mengambil kawalan politik ke atas kerajaan yang murtad itu, ketika mereka membentuk patung binatang itu. Apabila ilham mengenal pasti (dan hal itu dilakukannya berulang kali) bahawa upacara pentahbisan Nebukadnezar bagi patung emas itu melambangkan undang-undang Hari Ahad, hal itu menandai berakhirnya tujuh puluh tahun simbolik bagi binatang bumi itu. Pasal satu hingga tiga kitab Daniel melambangkan pekabaran tiga malaikat dalam Wahyu pasal empat belas. Malaikat ketiga menjadi suatu kebenaran yang hidup pada waktu undang-undang Hari Ahad.

Prophetically, chapters one through three in the book of Daniel, represent the seventy symbolic years of the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. The dietary test represented in chapter one, and the symbolism of Jehoiakim, identify that chapter one, prophetically begins at the empowerment of the first angel, either on August 11, 1840, or on September 11, 2001, in the history of the third angel.

Ntirhisano ya vuprofeta, tindzima ta vun’we ku ya eka tinharhu etibhukwini ya Daniyele ti yimela malembe ya makume nkombo ya fanekiselo ya xivandzana xa misava xa Nhlavutelo 13. Ndzingo wa swakudya lowu yimeriwaka eka ndzimana ya vun’we, ni vufanekiselo bya Yehovhayakimi, swi kombisa leswaku ndzimana ya vun’we, hi tlhelo ra vuprofeta, yi sungula eku nyikiweni ka matimba ka ntsumi yo sungula, kumbexana hi August 11, 1840, kumbe hi September 11, 2001, ematin’wini ya ntsumi ya vunharhu.

Babylon is the nation that ruled for seventy years, and those years, represents the history of the United States. Babylon’s seventy years did not conclude until well after Nebuchadnezzar’s dedication of the golden image, but prophetically the seventy symbolic years that Isaiah employs in chapter twenty-three, ends in chapter three of Daniel. When Nebuchadnezzar’s orchestra plays the music for the dedication ceremony, the mark of the beast is enforced, and at that time the whore of Tyre and of Babylon begins to sing her songs to the kings of the earth, while apostate Israel bows and dances.

Babylon ialah bangsa yang memerintah selama tujuh puluh tahun, dan tahun-tahun itu melambangkan sejarah Amerika Syarikat. Tujuh puluh tahun Babylon tidak berakhir sehingga lama sesudah Nebukadnezar mendirikan patung emas itu, tetapi secara nubuat tujuh puluh tahun simbolik yang digunakan Yesaya dalam pasal dua puluh tiga berakhir dalam pasal tiga kitab Daniel. Apabila orkestra Nebukadnezar memainkan muzik bagi upacara pentahbisan itu, tanda binatang itu dikuatkuasakan, dan pada waktu itu perempuan sundal Tirus dan Babylon mula menyanyikan nyanyiannya kepada raja-raja di bumi, sementara Israel yang murtad sujud menyembah dan menari.

> Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Daniel 3:1–7.

> Nkhosi Nebukhadinezari a endla xifaniso xa nsuku, lexi vumbeko bya xona a byi lehe makume tsevu ya swikubita, naswona ku anama ka xona a ku ri tsevu ta swikubita; a xi yimisa erivaleni ra Dura, exifundzheni xa Babilona. Kutani hosi Nebukhadinezari a rhuma rito leswaku ku hlengeletanisiwa tihosana, ni vafumi, ni tindhuna, ni vaavanyisi, ni vahlayisi va xuma, ni vatsundzuxi, ni vafambisi, ni hinkwavo lava fumaka swifundzha, leswaku va ta enhlengeni wa ku nyiketeriwa ka xifaniso lexi hosi Nebukhadinezari a xi yimisiseke. Kutani tihosana, ni vafumi, ni tindhuna, ni vaavanyisi, ni vahlayisi va xuma, ni vatsundzuxi, ni vafambisi, ni hinkwavo lava fumaka swifundzha, va hlengeletana eku nyiketeriweni ka xifaniso lexi hosi Nebukhadinezari a xi yimisiseke; kutani va yima emahlweni ka xifaniso lexi Nebukhadinezari a xi yimisiseke. Kutani muhlayi wa rito a huwelela hi rito lerikulu, a ku: N’wina vanhu, ni matiko, ni tindzimi, mi lerisiwa leswi, leswaku nkarhi wun’wana ni wun’wana loko mi twa mpfumawulo wa mhalamhala, ni fulo, ni haripa, ni sakabuta, ni psalteri, ni dulcimer, ni muxaka wun’wana ni wun’wana wa vuyimbeleri, mi wa ehansi mi gandzela xifaniso xa nsuku lexi hosi Nebukhadinezari yi xi yimisiseke. Kutani un’wana ni un’wana la nga tiki ehansi a gandzela, hi nkarhi wolowo u ta hoxiwa exikarhi ka ndzilo lowu pfurhaka swinene. Hikokwalaho hi nkarhi wolowo, loko vanhu hinkwavo va twa mpfumawulo wa mhalamhala, ni fulo, ni haripa, ni sakabuta, ni psalteri, ni tinxaka hinkwato ta vuyimbeleri, vanhu hinkwavo, ni matiko, ni tindzimi, va wa ehansi va gandzela xifaniso xa nsuku lexi hosi Nebukhadinezari yi xi yimisiseke. Daniyele 3:1–7.

At that “time,” or in that same “hour,” which is the Sunday law in the United States, anyone who refuses to worship the golden image will “be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.” The only book in the Old Testament that contains the word translated as “hour,” is the book of Daniel. The word “hour” in chapter three, represents the arrival of the mark of the beast. The word “hour” also represents the message of the first angel in chapter four, for it there symbolizes the warning to Nebuchadnezzar of the coming “hour” of God’s judgment.

“Waktu” éta, atawa dina “jam” anu sarua, nyaéta hukum Minggu di Amérika Serikat, saha waé anu nolak nyembah ka gambar emas éta bakal “dialungkeun ka tengah tungku seuneu anu hurung pisan.” Hiji-hijina kitab dina Perjanjian Lawas anu ngandung kecap anu ditarjamahkeun jadi “jam” nyaéta kitab Daniel. Kecap “jam” dina pasal tilu ngagambarkeun datangna tanda sato galak. Kecap “jam” ogé ngagambarkeun amanat malaikat kahiji dina pasal opat, sabab di dinya éta ngalambangkeun pangéling ka Nebukadnésar ngeunaan “jam” pangadilan Allah anu bakal datang.

> Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. Daniel 4:19.

> तदनंतर दानियेल, जिसका नाम बेल्तशस्सर था, एक घड़ी तक स्तब्ध रह गया, और उसके विचार उसे व्याकुल करते रहे। राजा ने कहा, “हे बेल्तशस्सर, यह स्वप्न, वा उसका अर्थ, तुझे व्याकुल न करे।” बेल्तशस्सर ने उत्तर देकर कहा, “हे मेरे प्रभु, यह स्वप्न तेरे बैरियों को ही लगे, और उसका अर्थ तेरे शत्रुओं पर ही घटित हो।” दानियेल 4:19.

Daniel presented the warning to Nebuchadnezzar of his coming hour of God’s judgment, that Nebuchadnezzar later rejected. The “hour” in chapter four, when used again in the chapter, then represents the “hour” that the judgment arrived. In Millerite history the first “hour” in chapter four, would represent the arrival of the first angel in 1798. That message was fulfilled when the investigative judgment began on October 22, 1844. The “hour” in chapter four, is first a symbol of a message of coming judgment and then it is employed as the symbol that the judgment has arrived. The first use of the word “hour” represents 1798, and the arrival of the first angel, and the second use represents October 22, 1844, and the arrival of the third angel.

दानिएलले नबूकदनेसरलाई परमेश्वरको न्यायको आउँदै गरेको उसको घडीबारे चेतावनी प्रस्तुत गरे, जसलाई नबूकदनेसरले पछि अस्वीकार गर्‍यो। त्यसपछि अध्याय चारमा “घडी” फेरि प्रयोग हुँदा, यसले न्याय आइपुगेको “घडी”लाई जनाउँछ। मिलेराइट इतिहासमा अध्याय चारको पहिलो “घडी”ले १७९८ मा पहिलो स्वर्गदूतको आगमनलाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्नेछ। त्यो सन्देश २२ अक्टोबर, १८४४ मा अनुसन्धानात्मक न्याय सुरु हुँदा पूरा भयो। अध्याय चारको “घडी” पहिले आउँदै गरेको न्यायको सन्देशको प्रतीक हो, र त्यसपछि न्याय आइपुगेको छ भन्ने प्रतीकका रूपमा प्रयोग गरिएको छ। “घडी” शब्दको पहिलो प्रयोगले १७९८ र पहिलो स्वर्गदूतको आगमनलाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छ, र दोस्रो प्रयोगले २२ अक्टोबर, १८४४ र तेस्रो स्वर्गदूतको आगमनलाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छ।

> The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. Daniel 4:33.

> Jam yang sama hal itu digenapi atas Nebukadnezar; dan ia dihalau dari antara manusia, dan makan rumput seperti lembu, dan tubuhnya basah oleh embun langit, sampai rambutnya tumbuh seperti bulu rajawali, dan kukunya seperti cakar burung. Daniel 4:33.

The “hour” in chapter four is therefore a symbol of both 1798 and 1844, which are the ending points for the two curses of “seven times,” against the northern (beginning in 723 BC) and southern (beginning in 677 BC) kingdoms of Israel. Those two curses, representing twenty-five hundred and twenty years of scattering and slavery, represent the execution of God’s first and last indignation against His apostate people. They both started with God’s judgment, and their respective endings represent the warning message of God’s approaching investigative judgment, or the arrival of the investigative judgment. Both of the judgments represented by the ending of the two judgments of “seven times” are represented by the word “hour,” in Daniel chapter four.

“Jam” dalam pasal empat oleh itu merupakan lambang bagi kedua-dua 1798 dan 1844, yang merupakan titik pengakhiran bagi dua kutuk “tujuh masa” terhadap kerajaan utara (bermula pada 723 SM) dan kerajaan selatan (bermula pada 677 SM) Israel. Kedua-dua kutuk itu, yang melambangkan dua ribu lima ratus dua puluh tahun penyerakan dan perhambaan, melambangkan pelaksanaan kemurkaan Tuhan yang pertama dan yang terakhir terhadap umat-Nya yang murtad. Kedua-duanya bermula dengan penghakiman Tuhan, dan pengakhiran masing-masing melambangkan pekabaran amaran tentang penghakiman penyiasatan Tuhan yang semakin mendekat, atau tibanya penghakiman penyiasatan itu. Kedua-dua penghakiman yang dilambangkan oleh pengakhiran dua penghakiman “tujuh masa” itu diwakili oleh perkataan “jam” dalam Daniel pasal empat.

In Millerite history the “hour” represents the beginning of the movement at the time of the end in 1798, when the first angel arrived, and the second “hour” in chapter four represents the end of the movement, when the third angel arrived on October 22, 1844. The Millerite movement of the first angel is repeated in the movement of the third angel, so the two usages of “hour” in chapter four, also mark the time of the end in 1989, and also the soon-coming Sunday law. The Millerite movement of the first angel announced the opening of the investigative judgment, and the movement of the third angel announces the opening of God’s executive judgment, which is progressive, beginning at the Sunday law, and continuing and escalating until the Second Coming of Christ.

Ka historing Millerite, “amo” keti emam eirkewe me woa arongorongon kaeo ikotwot fan itan fansoun imwinuin lon 1798, ewe fansoun a tori ewe aeuin angel, me ewe aruo “amo” me lon sopwun epwe chapter four emam eirkewe me sopwun ewe arongorongon kaeo, ewe fansoun a tori ewe aeu me onei angel lon October 22, 1844.

We will continue our study of Daniel chapter three, and conclude our consideration of the word “hour” in the next article.

> Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:16–28.

> “Lihatlah, Aku mengutus kamu seperti domba ke tengah-tengah serigala; sebab itu hendaklah kamu cerdik seperti ular dan tulus seperti merpati. Tetapi waspadalah terhadap manusia, karena mereka akan menyerahkan kamu kepada majelis-majelis, dan mereka akan menyesah kamu di rumah-rumah ibadat mereka; dan kamu akan dibawa menghadap para gubernur dan raja-raja oleh karena Aku, sebagai suatu kesaksian terhadap mereka dan terhadap bangsa-bangsa bukan Yahudi. Tetapi apabila mereka menyerahkan kamu, janganlah kamu kuatir tentang bagaimana atau apa yang harus kamu katakan, karena pada saat itu juga akan dikaruniakan kepadamu apa yang harus kamu katakan. Karena bukan kamu yang berkata-kata, melainkan Roh Bapamu, yang berkata-kata di dalam kamu. Saudara akan menyerahkan saudaranya kepada maut, dan ayah anaknya; dan anak-anak akan bangkit melawan orang tua mereka dan menyebabkan mereka dibunuh. Dan kamu akan dibenci oleh semua orang oleh karena nama-Ku; tetapi siapa yang bertahan sampai kesudahannya akan diselamatkan. Tetapi apabila mereka menganiaya kamu di kota yang satu ini, larilah ke kota yang lain; karena sesungguhnya Aku berkata kepadamu, kamu belum akan selesai menjelajahi kota-kota Israel sebelum Anak Manusia datang. Seorang murid tidak lebih dari gurunya, dan seorang hamba tidak lebih dari tuannya. Cukuplah bagi murid itu bahwa ia menjadi seperti gurunya, dan hamba itu seperti tuannya. Jika tuan rumah itu telah mereka sebut Beelzebul, apalagi seisi rumahnya? Sebab itu janganlah kamu takut terhadap mereka, karena tidak ada sesuatu pun yang tertutup yang tidak akan disingkapkan, dan yang tersembunyi yang tidak akan diketahui. Apa yang Kukatakan kepadamu dalam gelap, katakanlah itu dalam terang; dan apa yang kamu dengar dibisikkan ke telinga, beritakanlah itu dari atas atap rumah. Dan janganlah takut kepada mereka yang membunuh tubuh, tetapi yang tidak berkuasa membunuh jiwa; melainkan takutlah kepada Dia yang berkuasa membinasakan baik jiwa maupun tubuh di dalam neraka.” Matius 10:16–28.
