The “seal” of God that can be seen, is impressed at the Sunday law decree.

“mɔsɛn” ma Nyankopɔn a yebetumi ahu no, wotu gu bere a wɔhyɛ Kwasida mmara no mu.

> “Not one of us will ever receive the seal of God while our characters have one spot or stain upon them. It is left with us to remedy the defects in our characters, to cleanse the soul temple of every defilement. Then the latter rain will fall upon us as the early rain fell upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. . ..

> “Tiada seorang pun daripada kita akan menerima meterai Tuhan selagi tabiat kita masih mempunyai satu noda atau cemar padanya. Terpulang kepada kita untuk memperbaiki kecacatan dalam tabiat kita, untuk menyucikan bait jiwa daripada setiap kenajisan. Kemudian hujan akhir akan turun ke atas kita sebagaimana hujan awal turun ke atas murid-murid pada Hari Pentakosta....”

> “What are you doing, brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing for the seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity.” Testimonies, volume 5, 214, 216.

> “Sa tinguhon ninyu, mga kauturan, sa daku nga buluhatun sang pagpangamlig? Ang mga nagapakig-isa sa kalibutan nagabaton sang maka-kalibutan nga hulma kag nagapanghanda para sa marka sang sapat. Ang mga wala nagasalig sa kaugalingon, nga nagapaubos sang ila kaugalingon sa atubangan sang Dios kag nagaputli sang ila mga kalag paagi sa pagtuman sang kamatuoran, amo ini ang nagabaton sang langitnon nga hulma kag nagapanghanda para sa tatak sang Dios sa ila mga agtang. Sa tion nga mapaguwa ang mando kag maipatuhoy ang tatak, ang ila kinaiya magapabilin nga matinlo kag walay buling tubtob sa walay katapusan.” Testimonies, volume 5, 214, 216.

Daniel receives the seal that can be seen, when he is thrown into the lion’s den, so the chapter is representing the Sunday law decree.

Daniel ú∙ja aron u∙i nikgipa sigil-ko man∙a, jeon ua seng∙aomrangni do∙o galatako man∙aha; uni gimin ia odhai Sunday lawni ge∙etaniko mesokenga.

> Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Daniel 6:15–17.

> យ៉ាងนั้น បុរសទាំងនេះបានប្រមូលផ្តុំគ្នាចូលមកឯស្តេច ហើយទូលស្តេចថា «បពិត្រស្តេច សូមជ្រាបថា ក្រឹត្យវិន័យរបស់ជនមានេ និងជនពែរ្ស គឺថា គ្មានព្រះរាជក្រឹត្យ ឬច្បាប់ណាមួយដែលស្តេចបានបញ្ញត្តិហើយ អាចផ្លាស់ប្ដូរបានឡើយ»។ នោះស្តេចក៏មានបង្គាប់ ហើយគេនាំដានីយ៉ែលមក បោះចូលទៅក្នុងរូងសិង្ហ។ រួចស្តេចមានព្រះបន្ទូលទៅកាន់ដានីយ៉ែលថា «ព្រះនៃអ្នក ដែលអ្នកបម្រើជានិច្ចនោះ ទ្រង់នឹងប្រោសអ្នកឲ្យរួច»។ ហើយគេយកថ្មមួយមក បិទមាត់រូងនោះ; ស្តេចក៏បោះត្រាវាដោយព្រះមុទ្រារបស់ព្រះអង្គផ្ទាល់ និងដោយមុទ្រារបស់ពួកអភិជនរបស់ព្រះអង្គ ដើម្បីកុំឲ្យការសម្រេចអំពីដានីយ៉ែលត្រូវបានផ្លាស់ប្ដូរ។ ដានីយ៉ែល 6:15–17។

The story does not end there, but it does end where it starts. The line of Daniel chapter six illustrates the confederacy that was primarily led by the one hundred and twenty princes, and the two lesser presidents, but included the counselors, captains and governors. The five-fold alliance was formed to deceive the king into persecuting Daniel. The story ends with their judgment, for they are illustrating a special judgment that occurs at the Sunday law; a judgment that is not directed at those representing Daniel or the king, but at those who deceived the king.

Taba ya ekomi wana te wana, kasi esukaka esika ebandaki. Molongo ya Daniele mokapo ya motoba emonisaka lisanga ya boyokani oyo ezalaki libosoliboso kokambama na bakonzi nkama moko na ntuku mibale, mpe bakonzi mibale ya se, kasi ezalaki mpe na bapesi-toli, bakapita mpe baguvɛrnɛrɛ. Boyokani wana ya biteni mitano esalemaki mpo na kokosa mokonzi ete anyokola Daniele. Lisolo esuki na kosambisama na bango, mpo bazali komonisa kosambisama moko ya sipesiale oyo esalemaka na mobeko ya Lomingo; kosambisama oyo etali te baoyo bazali komonisa Daniele to mokonzi, kasi baoyo bakosaki mokonzi.

> And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. Daniel 6:24.

> Ti raja i porositi, dhe ata sollën ata njerëz që e kishin akuzuar Danielin, dhe i hodhën në gropën e luanëve, ata, fëmijët e tyre dhe gratë e tyre; dhe luanët i mposhtën dhe ua copëtuan tërë kockat para se të arrinin në fund të gropës. Danieli 6:24.

In the prophetic scenario it is always the church that deceives the state, and chapter six is identifying the deception carried out against the king. After Ahab had witnessed the mighty manifestation of God’s power on Mount Carmel, Elijah led him through the rain back to Jezebel. Ahab had no reason to think that Jezebel would not be impressed with the powerful testimony of God’s power, but Ahab had been deceived concerning Jezebel’s deep-seated hatred of Elijah. The story of Elijah in confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel is again repeated in the story of John the Baptist (who was Elijah), and Herod and Herodias.

ਕਲੀਸੀਆ ਹੀ ਭਵਿੱਖਬਾਣੀਕ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਦਾ ਰਾਜ ਨੂੰ ਧੋਖਾ ਦੇਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਅਧਿਆਇ ਛੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੇ ਵਿਰੁੱਧ ਕੀਤੇ ਗਏ ਉਸੇ ਧੋਖੇ ਦੀ ਪਹਿਚਾਣ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਜਦੋਂ ਆਹਾਬ ਨੇ ਕਰਮੇਲ ਪਹਾੜ ਉੱਤੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਦਾ ਮਹਾਨ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਾਵਾ ਦੇਖ ਲਿਆ ਸੀ, ਤਦ ਇਲਿਆਹ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਮੀਂਹ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਲੰਘਾਂਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਵਾਪਸ ਈਜ਼ੇਬਲ ਕੋਲ ਲੈ ਗਿਆ। ਆਹਾਬ ਕੋਲ ਇਹ ਸੋਚਣ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਕਾਰਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਦੀ ਉਸ ਪ੍ਰਬਲ ਗਵਾਹੀ ਤੋਂ ਈਜ਼ੇਬਲ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਵਿਤ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ, ਪਰ ਆਹਾਬ ਈਜ਼ੇਬਲ ਦੀ ਇਲਿਆਹ ਪ੍ਰਤੀ ਗਹਿਰੀ ਜੜੀ ਹੋਈ ਘ੍ਰਿਣਾ ਬਾਰੇ ਧੋਖੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਆਹਾਬ ਅਤੇ ਈਜ਼ੇਬਲ ਨਾਲ ਮੁਕਾਬਲੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਲਿਆਹ ਦੀ ਕਥਾ ਫਿਰ ਯੂਹੰਨਾ ਬਪਤਿਸਮਾ ਦੇਣ ਵਾਲੇ (ਜੋ ਇਲਿਆਹ ਸੀ), ਅਤੇ ਹੇਰੋਦੇਸ ਅਤੇ ਹੇਰੋਦਿਆਸ ਦੀ ਕਥਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੁਹਰਾਈ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ।

When on his birthday, the drunken Herod promised half his kingdom to Salome, (Herodias’ daughter), he did not expect that Herodias would demand the head of John. The kings, whether it be Ahab, Herod or Darius are deceived by the impure woman through the dance of Jezebel’s false prophets, or the dance of Herodias’ daughter, or the five-fold confederacy in the story of Daniel. Pilate was also deceived by a corrupt priesthood, which represented the Jewish “church”, and a church symbolizes a woman.

Ta'angtu ni inaldawanna, idi inkarina ni Herodes a nabartek ti basi a mangited iti kagudua ti pagarianna kenni Salome, (anak ni Herodias), saan a ninamnama nga idi ni Herodias ket dawatena ti olo ni Juan. Dagiti ari, uray ni Acab, Herodes wenno Dario, ket maallilaw babaen iti narugit a babai babaen iti sayaw dagiti ulbod a mammadto ni Jezabel, wenno iti sayaw ti anak ni Herodias, wenno iti lima-a-pagtipon a pannakikadua iti istoria ni Daniel. Ni Pilato met ket naallilaw babaen iti nadangkes a kinapadi, a mangibagi iti Judio a “iglesia”, ket ti iglesia ket isimboloanna ti maysa a babai.

The deception is a characteristic of the prophetic scenario, and Islam of the third Woe is the lie that is employed to deceive the United Nations in the last days through fear. Both the “deception” and the “lie” that produces the deception, are identified in God’s prophetic Word. The role of Islam, and the papacy becoming the eighth head of the seven heads, have already been identified as part of the message that is unsealed in the last days, which is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Therefore, exposing the deception of Darius in Daniel chapter six is part of the message that makes up the message of the Midnight Cry. The deception is the element that fully heals the deadly wound, thus resurrecting the papacy as the eighth and final kingdom. In the deception of Darius, the two apostate presidents and the one hundred and twenty princes are the representatives of the confederacy of deception who are contrasted with Daniel.

Penipuan itu adalah suatu ciri senario nubuat, dan Islam dalam Malapetaka yang ketiga ialah dusta yang digunakan untuk memperdayakan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu pada akhir zaman melalui ketakutan. Baik “penipuan” mahupun “dusta” yang menghasilkan penipuan itu dikenal pasti dalam Firman nubuat Tuhan. Peranan Islam, dan kepausan yang menjadi kepala kelapan daripada tujuh kepala itu, telah pun dikenal pasti sebagai sebahagian daripada pekabaran yang dimeteraibuka pada akhir zaman, iaitu Wahyu Yesus Kristus. Oleh itu, menyingkap penipuan Darius dalam Daniel fasal enam adalah sebahagian daripada pekabaran yang membentuk pekabaran Seruan Tengah Malam. Penipuan itu ialah unsur yang menyembuhkan sepenuhnya luka yang mematikan itu, lalu membangkitkan semula kepausan sebagai kerajaan kelapan dan yang terakhir. Dalam penipuan Darius, kedua-dua presiden murtad itu dan seratus dua puluh pembesar itu adalah wakil-wakil persekutuan penipuan yang dipertentangkan dengan Daniel.

One hundred and twenty is a symbol of God’s disciples at Pentecost.

Seratus dua puluh merupakan lambang murid-murid Allah pada hari Pentakosta.

> And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty.) Acts 1:15.

> Dan pada masa itu Petrus berdiri di tengah-tengah murid-murid itu, lalu berkata, (jumlah nama yang berkumpul bersama kira-kira seratus dua puluh orang.) Kisah Para Rasul 1:15.

Pentecost typifies the Sunday law when the seal is impressed, and the one hundred and twenty princes who deceived Darius, are a symbol of false priesthood at the Sunday law. Two categories of those who deceive the king are presented by the two apostate presidents and the one hundred and twenty apostate princes. The two presidents are classed with Daniel, who is the prophet. The two classes that deceive Darius represent a group of false prophets and a group of corrupted priests.

Pentecost menandakan undang-undang Ahad ketika meterai dikenakan, dan seratus dua puluh pembesar yang memperdayakan Darius merupakan lambang keimamatan palsu pada masa undang-undang Ahad. Dua golongan orang yang memperdayakan raja dipersembahkan melalui dua presiden murtad dan seratus dua puluh pembesar murtad itu. Kedua-dua presiden itu digolongkan bersama Daniel, iaitu nabi itu. Dua golongan yang memperdayakan Darius melambangkan satu kumpulan nabi palsu dan satu kumpulan imam yang telah rosak.

> Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord. Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness. For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 23:1–12.

> Celaka atas para gembala yang membinasakan dan mencerai-beraikan domba-domba gembalaan-Ku! firman TUHAN. Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel, terhadap para gembala yang menggembalakan umat-Ku: Kamu telah mencerai-beraikan kawanan-Ku, telah menghalau mereka, dan tidak memperhatikan mereka; lihatlah, Aku akan menghukum kamu karena kejahatan perbuatanmu, firman TUHAN. Dan Aku sendiri akan mengumpulkan sisa kawanan-Ku dari segala negeri ke mana Aku telah menghalau mereka, dan Aku akan membawa mereka kembali ke padang gembalaan mereka; mereka akan berbuah dan bertambah banyak. Aku akan mengangkat atas mereka gembala-gembala yang akan menggembalakan mereka; mereka tidak akan takut lagi, tidak akan terkejut, dan tidak akan hilang seekor pun, firman TUHAN. Sesungguhnya, waktunya akan datang, demikianlah firman TUHAN, bahwa Aku akan menumbuhkan bagi Daud suatu Tunas yang adil, dan Ia akan memerintah sebagai Raja dan berlaku bijaksana, serta melakukan keadilan dan kebenaran di bumi. Pada zamannya Yehuda akan diselamatkan, dan Israel akan diam dengan aman; dan inilah nama yang akan diberikan orang kepada-Nya: TUHAN, Keadilan Kita. Sebab itu, sesungguhnya, waktunya akan datang, firman TUHAN, bahwa orang tidak akan berkata lagi: Demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah menuntun orang Israel keluar dari tanah Mesir! melainkan: Demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah menuntun dan membawa keturunan kaum Israel keluar dari negeri utara dan dari segala negeri ke mana Aku telah menghalau mereka! Maka mereka akan diam di tanah mereka sendiri. Hatiku hancur dalam diriku karena para nabi; segala tulangku gemetar; aku seperti orang mabuk, seperti orang yang dikuasai anggur, oleh karena TUHAN dan oleh karena firman kekudusan-Nya. Sebab negeri ini penuh dengan orang-orang berzina; sebab oleh karena kutuk negeri ini berkabung; padang-padang rumput di padang gurun menjadi kering, dan tingkah laku mereka jahat, dan kekuatan mereka tidak pada yang benar. Sebab baik nabi maupun imam adalah cemar; bahkan di rumah-Ku pun Aku mendapati kejahatan mereka, firman TUHAN. Sebab itu jalan mereka akan menjadi bagi mereka seperti jalan licin dalam gelap; mereka akan didorong dan jatuh di sana; sebab Aku akan mendatangkan malapetaka atas mereka, yakni tahun penghukuman mereka, firman TUHAN. Yeremia 23:1–12.

Jeremiah’s “year of visitation” is the judgment of the conspirators that deceived Darius. The judgment of the false prophets and priests is a subject of the prophetic Word. And just as a corrupt priesthood led out and deceived the Roman authorities against Christ, the conspiracy in Daniel six is addressing that very prophetic truth.

“Tahun pelawatan” Yeremia ialah penghakiman terhadap para pengkomplot yang telah memperdaya Darius. Penghakiman terhadap nabi-nabi palsu dan imam-imam adalah suatu pokok dalam Firman kenabian. Dan sebagaimana suatu keimaman yang telah korup memimpin dan memperdaya para penguasa Romawi menentang Kristus, demikianlah persekongkolan dalam Daniel enam sedang menyingkapkan kebenaran kenabian itu.

The prophetic lines of chapter five of Daniel, set forth the executive judgment carried out upon the Republican horn and the nation of the United States at the Sunday law. That judgment is accomplished by Islam of the third Woe, that has snuck into the kingdom through the unguarded southern wall. The line of the Sunday law in chapter three of Daniel, identifies God’s people being lifted up as an ensign to the entire world at that very time. Chapter six is focusing upon the judgment carried out upon the false prophets in that very same history.

At the Sunday law in the United States the apostate Protestant horn is made up of two classes, one that upholds Sunday as the day of worship, and the other that vainly professes to uphold Sabbath as the day of worship. Their counterparts within the Republican horn are the Democrat and Republican parties. Each of the two apostate horns were typified by the Sadducees and Pharisees in the time of Christ. The two apostate presidents and one hundred and twenty priests in the deception of Darius also represent the two categories of the apostate horn of Protestantism. Though they were actually political figures in the time when the story took place, the prophetic context identifies that it is the apostate religious power that deceives the state.

Pada hukum Ahad di Amerika Serikat, tanduk Protestan yang murtad itu terdiri daripada dua golongan: satu yang mempertahankan Ahad sebagai hari ibadah, dan satu lagi yang sia-sia mengaku mempertahankan Sabat sebagai hari ibadah. Pasangan sepadan mereka di dalam tanduk Republikan ialah parti Demokrat dan Republikan. Kedua-dua tanduk murtad itu telah dilambangkan oleh orang Saduki dan orang Farisi pada zaman Kristus. Dua presiden yang murtad dan seratus dua puluh imam dalam penipuan Darius juga mewakili dua kategori tanduk Protestanisme yang murtad. Walaupun mereka pada hakikatnya ialah tokoh politik pada waktu kisah itu berlaku, konteks nubuatan mengenal pasti bahawa kuasa agama yang murtad itulah yang memperdayakan negara.

The story, as illustrated at Mount Carmel, identifies two classes of false prophets; the prophets of Baal and the prophets of the grove (Ashtaroth). Together they typify the combination of church and state, for Baal is a male deity and Ashtaroth is a female deity. Elijah ultimately executed the false prophets of Mount Carmel, just as the confederacy of Daniel chapter six were thrown into the lion’s den.

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

In the same Mount Carmel story, represented by John the Baptist, the power that deceives is the daughter. Both stories identify the deceivers as dancing, whether around their offering on Mount Carmel, or at Herod’s drunken birthday party, where Salome did her dance of deception. Together the two lines identify the combination of church and state that is fully formed at the Sunday law, and that the apostate churches of the United States are the daughters of Herodias, who is Jezebel, who both represent Catholicism. Herod’s birthday marks the end of the sixth kingdom of the earth beast, but simultaneously marks the birthday of the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy (the United Nations).

Dalam kisah Gunung Karmel yang sama, yang dilambangkan oleh Yohanes Pembaptis, kuasa yang menyesatkan itu adalah anak perempuan. Kedua kisah itu mengenali para penyesat sebagai orang-orang yang menari, baik di sekeliling persembahan mereka di Gunung Karmel, maupun pada pesta ulang tahun Herodes yang mabuk, ketika Salome melakukan tari penyesatannya. Bersama-sama kedua garis itu mengenali perpaduan gereja dan negara yang terbentuk sepenuhnya pada hukum hari Minggu, dan bahwa gereja-gereja murtad di Amerika Serikat adalah anak-anak perempuan Herodias, yang adalah Izebel, yang keduanya melambangkan Katolik. Ulang tahun Herodes menandai berakhirnya kerajaan keenam dari binatang bumi itu, tetapi pada saat yang sama menandai hari lahir kerajaan ketujuh dari nubuatan Alkitab (Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa).

In the very promise to Salome, Herod agrees to give half his kingdom to Salome, identifying the seventh kingdom represents a combination of one-half church and one-half state. The kingdom begins when John’s head is delivered to Herodias. For this reason, the seventh kingdom is represented in Revelation chapter seventeen, as continuing but a short space. It is at the Sunday law that the three-fold union is put in place, for there the ten kings agree to give their short-lived kingdom unto the beast for one “hour.” The one “hour,” is the “hour” of the Sunday law crisis, that begins in the United States and ends when Michael stands up.

Mo go tshepisong ka boyona go Salome, Herode o dumela go naya Salome seripa sa bogosi jwa gagwe, ka go dira jalo a supa gore bogosi jwa bosupa bo emela kopanyo ya seripa se le sengwe sa kereke le seripa se le sengwe sa puso. Bogosi joo bo simologa fa tlhogo ya ga Johane e neelwa Herodiase. Ka lebaka leo, bogosi jwa bosupa bo emelwa mo go Tshenolo kgaolo ya lesome le bosupa, e le jo bo tswelelang sebaka se se khutshwane fela. Ke mo molaong wa Tshipi go bo kopano ya dikarolo di le tharo e tlhomiwa, gonne teng dikgosi tse lesome di dumela go neela bogosi jwa tsone jo bo tshelang lobakanyana fela mo go sebatana ka “ura” e le nngwe. “Ura” e le nngwe eo ke “ura” ya mathata a molao wa Tshipi, a simologang kwa United States mme a khutla fa Mikaele a ema.

> And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Revelation 17:12–14.

> Mera man ahorow du a wohunuu no yɛ ahemfo du a wonnya nnya ahenni nni; nanso wɔbɛnya tumi sɛ ahemfo dɔnhwerew baako ne aboa no. Wɔwɔ adwene koro, na wɔde wɔn tumi ne wɔn ahoɔden bɛma aboa no. Wɔne Oguammaa no bɛko, na Oguammaa no bedi wɔn so nkonim; efisɛ ɔno ne Awuranom Awurade ne Ahemfo Hene; na wɔn a wɔka ne ho no yɛ wɔn a wɔafrɛ wɔn, na wɔayi wɔn, na wɔyɛ nokwafo. Adiyisɛm 17:12–14.

The ten kings, represented by Herod, agree at the birthday of the seventh kingdom to give half their kingdom unto the beast during the Sunday law crisis, which is represented as “one hour.” In that “hour,” the handwriting is written on Belshazzar’s wall. In that “hour,” Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego are cast into the furnace and are lifted up in a cloud as are the two witnesses of Revelation chapter eleven. The three-fold union is brought together by the deception carried out by the earth beast, who brings fire down out of heaven in sight of men.

Dikgosi tše lesome, tše di emelwago ke Heroda, di dumellana ka letšatši la matswalo la mmušo wa bošupa go nea sebata seripa sa mmušo wa tšona nakong ya tlalelo ya molao wa Sontaga, yeo e emelwago bjalo ka “iri e tee.” Ka “iri” yeo, mongwalo wa seatla o ngwalwa lebotong la Belshatsara. Ka “iri” yeo, Shadrake, Meshake le Abedinego ba lahlelwa ka seboping sa mollo gomme ba rotošetšwa godimo ka leru bjalo ka ge go le ka dihlatse tše pedi tša Kutollo kgaolo ya lesometee. Kopano ya mahlakore a mararo e tlišwa mmogo ka bofora bjo bo phethagatšwago ke sebata sa lefase, seo se theošago mollo go tšwa legodimong pontšhong ya batho.

> 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. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do 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. Revelation 13:11–14.

> Kemudian aku melihat seekor binatang lain muncul dari bumi; binatang itu mempunyai dua tanduk seperti anak domba, tetapi ia berkata-kata seperti seekor naga. Dan ia menjalankan segala kuasa binatang yang pertama itu di hadapannya, dan menyebabkan bumi serta mereka yang diam di dalamnya menyembah binatang yang pertama itu, yang luka parahnya telah sembuh. Dan ia melakukan tanda-tanda yang besar, sehingga ia membuat api turun dari langit ke bumi di hadapan manusia, lalu menyesatkan mereka yang diam di bumi dengan perantaraan mukjizat-mukjizat yang diberi kuasa kepadanya untuk dilakukan di hadapan binatang itu; sambil berkata kepada mereka yang diam di bumi, supaya mereka membuat sebuah patung bagi binatang itu, yang telah mendapat luka oleh pedang, namun tetap hidup. Wahyu 13:11–14.

The world is deceived, not so much by the miracles, as it is by “the means of those miracles” which he had power to do. The expression “means of those miracles” is an added phrase, but it places the correct emphasis on the miracles, that should be carefully noted. The way in which the false message (fire from heaven), deceives the world is important to recognize, for we are now in the very history where the populations of planet earth are being hypnotized through an “information super-highway” that is controlled and manipulated by the globalist merchants of the earth. That subject we will leave off until later articles, but we are simply noting now that the deceit of the presidents and princes that was carried out upon Darius, is a specific prophetic subject, containing several connected elements that need to be recognized.

Dunia ditipu, bukan semata-mata oleh mukjizat-mukjizat itu, melainkan oleh “sarana mukjizat-mukjizat itu” yang kepadanya diberikan kuasa untuk melakukannya. Ungkapan “sarana mukjizat-mukjizat itu” adalah frasa tambahan, namun frasa itu menempatkan penekanan yang benar pada mukjizat-mukjizat tersebut, yang patut diperhatikan dengan saksama. Cara di mana pekabaran palsu itu (api dari langit) menipu dunia adalah penting untuk dikenali, sebab sekarang kita sedang berada tepat dalam sejarah ketika penduduk planet bumi sedang dihipnotis melalui sebuah “jalan raya super informasi” yang dikendalikan dan dimanipulasi oleh para saudagar globalis bumi. Pokok bahasan itu akan kita tangguhkan sampai artikel-artikel berikutnya, tetapi untuk saat ini kita hanya mencatat bahwa tipu daya para presiden dan para pembesar yang dijalankan terhadap Darius merupakan suatu pokok nubuatan yang khusus, yang mengandung beberapa unsur yang saling berkaitan dan perlu dikenali.

The three-fold union is brought together by the deception of Salome’s sensuous dance before the rulers at Herod’s birthday party. The deception that was forced upon Pilate, that was two-fold in nature, which was the accusation that Christ was causing and promoting sedition against the state power, and also that He was blaspheming against the religious power. In that history three antagonists came together. The Roman power (the state), Barabbas, a false Christ (the false prophet), and the apostate Jewish church (the beast). The apostate church deceived the Roman authority (the state), with the two-fold lie of sedition and blasphemy.

When Darius is finally awakened to the motivation of his deceivers, he is forced to throw Daniel into the lion’s den. Daniel broke the law of the state by his obedience to the law of God. The lie presented to Darius, was accomplished by exalting Darius’ pride, thus preventing him from recognizing the motivation of his deceivers. The lie and the deception in the story of Daniel and the lion’s den, identifies obedience to God as blasphemy and sedition, which was the same two-fold deception of the cross, and the waymark of the cross aligns with the waymark of the Sunday law.

Apabila Darius akhirnya disedarkan kepada motif para penipunya, dia terpaksa mencampakkan Daniel ke dalam gua singa. Daniel melanggar undang-undang negara oleh ketaatannya kepada hukum Tuhan. Dusta yang dikemukakan kepada Darius telah terlaksana dengan meninggikan kesombongan Darius, lalu menghalangnya daripada mengenali motif para penipunya. Dusta dan penipuan dalam kisah Daniel dan gua singa mengenal pasti ketaatan kepada Tuhan sebagai penghujatan dan penderhakaan, yang merupakan penipuan berganda yang sama seperti pada salib, dan penanda jalan salib itu sejajar dengan penanda jalan hukum Ahad.

The punishment of the religious deceiving power is a subject of Bible prophecy, as is the fact that the religious power deceives the state power.

Kotlhaiso ya maatla a bodumedi a a tsietsang ke setlhogo sa boporofeti jwa Baebele, fela jaaka le ntlha ya gore maatla a bodumedi a tsietsa maatla a puso.

> “The people see that they have been deluded. They accuse one another of having led them to destruction; but all unite in heaping their bitterest condemnation upon the ministers. Unfaithful pastors have prophesied smooth things; they have led their hearers to make void the law of God and to persecute those who would keep it holy. Now, in their despair, these teachers confess before the world their work of deception. The multitudes are filled with fury. ‘We are lost!’ they cry, ‘and you are the cause of our ruin;’ and they turn upon the false shepherds. The very ones that once admired them most will pronounce the most dreadful curses upon them. The very hands that once crowned them with laurels will be raised for their destruction. The swords which were to slay God’s people are now employed to destroy their enemies. Everywhere there is strife and bloodshed.” The Great Controversy, 655.

> “విశ్వాసులు తాము మోసపోయినట్లు గ్రహిస్తారు. తాము నాశనమునకు దారితీశారని వారు ఒకరినొకరు నిందిస్తారు; అయితే అందరూ కలసి తమ అత్యంత కఠోరమైన ఖండనను ఆ పరిచారకుల మీద కుమ్మరిస్తారు. అవిశ్వాసపాత్రులైన కాపరులు మృదువైన మాటలను ప్రవచించారు; వారు తమ శ్రోతలను దేవుని ధర్మశాస్త్రాన్ని రద్దుచేయుటకు, దానిని పరిశుద్ధముగా కాపాడుదుమనిన వారిని హింసించుటకు నడిపించారు. ఇప్పుడు, తమ నిరాశలో, ఈ బోధకులు తాము చేసిన మోసకార్యాన్ని లోకముందు ఒప్పుకుంటారు. జనసమూహాలు ఆగ్రహముతో నిండిపోతాయి. ‘మేము నశించిపోయాము!’ అని వారు కేకలేస్తారు, ‘మా పాడుకి కారణం మీరే;’ అని, వారు ఆ అబద్ధ కాపరుల మీదికి తిరుగుతారు. ఒకప్పుడు వారిని అత్యధికంగా అభిమానించిన వారే వారిమీద అత్యంత భయంకరమైన శాపాలను ప్రకటిస్తారు. ఒకప్పుడు వారిని కీర్తిమాలలతో కిరీటపరిచిన చేతులే ఇప్పుడు వారి నాశనార్థం ఎత్తబడతాయి. దేవుని ప్రజలను సంహరించుటకు ఉద్దేశించబడిన ఖడ్గములే ఇప్పుడు తమ శత్రువులను నశింపజేయుటకు ఉపయోగింపబడుతున్నవి. ఎక్కడ చూసినా కలహమును రక్తపాతమును గలవు.” The Great Controversy, 655.

The religious leaders are turned upon after probation closes, for their flocks recognize that they had been deceived by a lie propagated by the religious leaders. The presidents and princes, along with their families, all suffered the same retributive judgment for the lie they propagated. When Elijah slew the false prophets at Mount Carmel, that same retribution is represented at “the great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven, when “seven thousand” are overthrown.

Bagolong ba bodumedi ba furalelwa morago ga fa nako ya teko e tswalwa, gonne matsomane a bona a lemoga gore a ne a tsieditswe ka maaka a a neng a anamisiwa ke bagolodi bao ba bodumedi. Baporesidente le dikgosana, mmogo le malapa a bone, botlhe ba ne ba boga katlholo e e tshwanang ya pusetso ka ntlha ya maaka a ba neng ba a anamisa. Fa Elija a bolaya baporofeti ba maaka kwa Thabeng ya Karamele, pusetso eo eo e emetswe gape mo go “thoromo e kgolo ya lefatshe” ya Tshenolo kgaolo ya bolesome le bongwe, fa go “baeteledipele ba le dikete di supa” ba phutlhama.

> And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. Revelation 11:13.

> Pada saat itu juga terjadilah suatu gempa bumi yang besar, dan sepersepuluh bagian kota itu runtuh, dan dalam gempa bumi itu terbunuh tujuh ribu orang; dan orang-orang yang selebihnya menjadi ketakutan, lalu memuliakan Allah semesta langit. Wahyu 11:13.

In the fulfillment of the great earthquake of the French Revolution the seven thousand that were slain represented the royalty of France. At the “hour” of the great earthquake that is the Sunday law, the seven thousand that are slain represent Seventh-day Adventists who bow to Rome, for only those that understand the accountability of the Seventh-day Sabbath receive the mark of the beast when the Sunday law arrives.

Ha go phethagatšo tšhišinyego ye kgolo ya lefase ya Phetogelo ya Fora, ba dikete tše šupago bao ba bolailwego ba emetše bogoši bja Fora. Ka “iri” ya tšhišinyego ye kgolo ya lefase, ye lego molao wa Lamorena, ba dikete tše šupago bao ba bolailwego ba emela Badventhiste ba Letšatši la Bosupa bao ba khunamelago Roma, gobane ke feela bao ba kwešišago boikarabelo bja Sabatha ya Letšatši la Bosupa bao ba amogelago leswao la sebata ge molao wa Lamorena o fihla.

> “The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Roman church. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false Sabbath in the place of the true, are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. The mark of the beast is the papal Sabbath, which has been accepted by the world in the place of the day of God’s appointment.

> “Phetoho ya Sabatha ke sesupo kapa letshwao la matla a kereke ya Roma. Bao, ka ho utlwisisa ditletlebo tsa molao wa bone, ba kgethang ho boloka Sabatha ya bohata sebakeng sa ya nnete, ka hoo ba lefa hlompho ho matla ao ao feela Sabatha eo e laetswang ka wona. Letshwao la sebata ke Sabatha ya bopapa, e amohetsweng ke lefatshe sebakeng sa letsatsi leo Modimo a le beileng.”

> “But the time to receive the mark of the beast, as designated in prophecy, has not yet come. The testing time has not yet come. There are true Christians in every church, not excepting the Roman Catholic communion. None are condemned until they have had the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment. But when the decree shall go forth enforcing the counterfeit Sabbath, and when the loud cry of the third angel shall warn men against the worship of the beast and his image, the line will be clearly drawn between the false and the true. Then those who still continue in transgression will receive the mark of the beast in their foreheads or in their hands.

> “ஏனெனில் தீர்க்கதரிசனத்தில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டபடி மிருகத்தின் முத்திரையைப் பெற வேண்டிய காலம் இன்னும் வரவில்லை. சோதனையின் காலமும் இன்னும் வரவில்லை. ரோமக் கத்தோலிக்கச் சமூகத்தையும் தவிர்க்காமல், ஒவ்வொரு சபையிலும் உண்மையான கிறிஸ்தவர்கள் இருக்கிறார்கள். ஒளியைப் பெற்று, நான்காம் கட்டளையின் கடமையை அறிந்துவரை யாரும் தண்டிக்கப்படமாட்டார்கள். ஆனால் போலிச் சப்தத்தை அமல்படுத்தும் கட்டளை பிறப்பிக்கப்படும் போது, மேலும் மூன்றாம் தூதனுடைய மகா சத்தம் மனிதர்களை மிருகத்தையும் அதன் உருவத்தையும் வணங்குவதற்கு எதிராக எச்சரிக்கும் போது, பொய்யானவர்களுக்கும் உண்மையானவர்களுக்கும் இடையில் கோடு தெளிவாக இழுக்கப்படும். அப்பொழுது மீறுதலில் தொடர்ந்து நிலைத்திருப்பவர்கள் தங்கள் நெற்றிகளிலோ தங்கள் கைகளிலோ மிருகத்தின் முத்திரையைப் பெறுவார்கள்.

> “With rapid steps we are approaching this period. When Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution, then will the papal Sabbath be enforced by the combined authority of church and state. There will be a national apostasy, which will end only in national ruin.” Bible Training School, February 2, 1913.

> “Kauwj nrang ngut ngi la nang jan sha kane ka por. Ynda ki balang Protestan kin jingïasoh bad ka bor paidbah ban kyrshan ïa ka niam kaba lamler, namar ka jingïaleh pyrshah ïa kaba ki longshuwa jong ki ki la shah ïa ka jingbeiñ bad jingïaumsnam kaba tyngeh tam, te yn pyntreikam ïa ka Sabbath papal da ka bor jingïatylli jong ka balang bad ka jylla. Kan don ka jingkylla shnong ri na ka jingshisha, kaba yn kut tang ha ka jingjot jong ka ri.” Bible Training School, February 2, 1913.

The “seven thousand” who are overthrown at the “hour” of the great earthquake, that is the Sunday law, are also paralleled by the “seven thousand” who refused to bow to Jezebel in the time of Elijah.

“Ketopong ribu” yang dijatuhkan pada “jam” gempa bumi besar itu, yaitu undang-undang Hari Minggu, juga disejajarkan dengan “ketopong ribu” yang menolak sujud kepada Jezebel pada zaman Elia.

> Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 1 Kings 19:18.

> Leha ho le joalo, ke ipoloketse ba likete tse supileng Iseraeleng, mangole ’ohle a sa kang a khumamela Baale, le melomo eohle e sa kang ea mo suna. 1 Marena 19:18.

The first reference to seven thousand identifies a faithful group that refused to bow to Jezebel, and the last reference represents a remnant that do bow to Jezebel. When the papacy conquers the glorious land (the earth beast of Revelation thirteen), at the Sunday law, one class is “overthrown” and another class escapes the hand of Babylon’s control, for the message to come out of Babylon then begins.

> He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. Daniel 11:41.

> Ia akan masuk juga ke negeri yang mulia itu, dan banyak negeri akan ditumbangkannya; tetapi inilah yang akan luput dari tangannya, yakni Edom, Moab, dan para pemuka bani Amon. Daniel 11:41.

The word “countries” is an added word, for many countries are not “overthrown” at the Sunday law, but many individual Seventh-day Adventists are, for at that point they are the only ones held accountable to the light of the third angel. They are the “many,” for they were those called to be among those that received the seal of God, but they rejected that calling.

Lefoko “dinaga” ke lefoko le le okeditsweng, gonne dinaga di le dintsi ga di “weetswe” ka nako ya molao wa Sontaga, mme Baebele ba le bantsi ka bongwe-bongwe mo gare ga Badumedi ba Letsatsi la Bosupa ba a weeswa; gonne ka nako eo ke bone fela ba ba tshwarelwang maikarabelo ka ntlha ya lesedi la moengele wa boraro.

> And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:12–14.

> Lalu raja itu berkata kepadanya, Saudara, bagaimana engkau masuk ke mari tanpa mengenakan pakaian pesta? Tetapi orang itu terdiam. Kemudian raja itu berkata kepada para hamba: Ikatlah tangan dan kakinya, bawa dia pergi, dan campakkan dia ke dalam kegelapan yang paling luar; di sanalah akan terdapat ratap tangis dan kertak gigi. Sebab banyak yang dipanggil, tetapi sedikit yang dipilih. Matius 22:12–14.

The deception of the princes and presidents in Daniel chapter six is identifying the punishment of the religious power that deceives the state power.

Tshikopololo tshia bântu badi ne bukalenge ne baapresidê mu Daniel nshapita mwepu isambombo ntshimanyi tshia kupetesha tshijeebelu tshia bukole bua diitabuuja budi bukengesha bukole bua mbulamatadi.

> And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. Daniel 6:24.

> Maka raja pun memerintahkan, lalu orang-orang yang telah menuduh Daniel itu dibawa, dan mereka dilemparkan ke dalam gua singa, mereka, anak-anak mereka, dan isteri-isteri mereka; lalu singa-singa itu menguasai mereka dan meremukkan segala tulang mereka bahkan sebelum mereka sampai ke dasar gua itu. Daniel 6:24.

We shall continue the book of Daniel in the next article.

Kita akan meneruskan kitab Daniel dalam rencana yang berikutnya.

> And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Hebrews 11:32, 33.

> আর আমি আর কী বলিব? কারণ গিদিওন, বারাক, শিমশন, যিফ্থহ; তদ্রূপ দাউদ, শমূয়েল, এবং ভাববাদীগণের কথা বর্ণনা করিতে গেলে সময় আমার জন্য অপ্রতুল হইবে; যাহারা বিশ্বাসের দ্বারা রাজ্যসমূহ বশীভূত করিয়াছিল, ধার্মিকতা সাধন করিয়াছিল, প্রতিজ্ঞাসমূহ লাভ করিয়াছিল, সিংহদের মুখ বন্ধ করিয়াছিল। ইব্রীয় ১১:৩২, ৩৩।
