The book of Daniel identifies that it is Rome that establishes the vision, and that understanding was opposed by the Protestants of Millerite history when William Miller identified this fact. In the last days, it is still Rome that establishes the vision, and today Laodicean Adventism now upholds the fallen Protestant view that the robbers of thy people are Antiochus Epiphanes. The covenant people that were being passed by in Millerite history resisted the very same truth, that is now resisted by the covenant people of the last days that are now being passed by. Solomon said it well:

Buku ya Daniel etshidza uri Roma ndi yone ine ya thoma muloro, nahone kutwisisa oko kwa hanwa kOvaprostanta vethimbo lya vaMillerite, pehe William Miller a li a didilike oshili ei. Momasiku gokuxula, okuza po oku li Roma yone ine ya thoma muloro, nofimbo yino Ovaadventista vaLaodikea ovakwatelwa omutima pehalo lyOvaprostanta va wa, lya kala tili ovahongi vovalunde vovanhu voye ngu Antiochus Epiphanes. Ovanhu vovano va pangelelwa eshi va li tava pitwa po mOthimbo ya vaMillerite ova li va hanana noshili imwe tuu, oyo tai hanwa nena kovanhu vepangano vomomasiku gokuxula, ovo nena tava pitwa po. Solomon okwa popi nawa a ti:

> The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10.

> Ntho e kileng ea e-ba teng ke eona e tla ba teng; ’me se entsoeng ke sona se tla etsoa: ’me ha ho ntho e ncha tlas’a letsatsi. Na ho na le ntho eo ho ka thoeng ka eona: Bonang, sena se secha? E ne e se e le teng mehleng ea khale, e bileng teng pele ho rōna. Moeklesia 1:9, 10.

Prophetically there are three manifestations of Rome, and the first two manifestations identify the characteristics of the third, for truth is established upon the testimony of two.

Ka boporofeta, go na le diponagalo tse tharo tsa Roma, mme diponagalo tse pedi tsa ntlha di supa ditshobotsi tsa ya boraro, gonne boammaaruri bo tlhomamisiwa mo bosuping jwa babedi.

> But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Matthew 18:16.

> Ari ba ening willa nangko, ni ringdo no na donggnipa saksa ba gni-ko nang baksa rimangbo, maikai gni ba gitam sakki-ni ku∙sikchi pilak kattarang pangchakatako man∙gen. Matthew 18:16.

The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and paganism is a counterfeit of true religion. It is not so much a counterfeit in the sense that counterfeit currency is understood, for paganism actually looks nothing like true religion. But prophetically it has counterfeit characteristics. The City of Rome is a counterfeit of Jerusalem, and it has a temple (the Pantheon) that was a counterfeit of the temple in Jerusalem. The religious practices of paganism are unsanctified and devilish, but they represent Satan’s counterfeit religious practices. The head of pagan Rome’s religion was titled Pontifex Maximus. “Pontifex Maximus” originally referred to the chief priest of the Roman state religion in ancient Rome, with its origins dating back to the early Roman Republic. Over time, it became associated with political and religious authority and eventually evolved into the title used by the Pope in the Roman Catholic Church today.

Agama Rom pagan ialah paganisme, dan paganisme ialah suatu tiruan palsu bagi agama yang benar. Ia bukanlah suatu tiruan palsu dalam erti kata seperti wang palsu difahami, kerana paganisme sebenarnya langsung tidak menyerupai agama yang benar. Namun secara nubuat, ia mempunyai ciri-ciri tiruan palsu. Kota Rom ialah suatu tiruan palsu bagi Yerusalem, dan ia mempunyai sebuah bait suci (Pantheon) yang merupakan tiruan palsu bagi bait suci di Yerusalem. Amalan-amalan keagamaan paganisme tidak disucikan dan bersifat Iblisi, namun semuanya itu melambangkan amalan-amalan keagamaan tiruan palsu Satan. Ketua agama Rom pagan memegang gelaran Pontifex Maximus. “Pontifex Maximus” pada asalnya merujuk kepada imam besar agama negara Rom dalam Rom kuno, dengan asal-usulnya bermula sejak Republik Rom awal. Seiring berjalannya waktu, gelaran itu dikaitkan dengan kuasa politik dan keagamaan, dan akhirnya berkembang menjadi gelaran yang digunakan oleh Paus dalam Gereja Roman Katolik pada hari ini.

The title of the chief priest of pagan Rome was Pontifex Maximus, and it was also the title of the chief priest of papal Rome and it is a Latin term that means the “Greatest of Supreme Pontiff.” He was the chief priest of the Roman state religion, particularly the cult of the god Jupiter. The Pontifex Maximus had significant religious authority and responsibilities, including overseeing various religious rites and ensuring the proper functioning of the Roman religious calendar. The Pontifex Maximus was the head of the College of Pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum), a group of priests responsible for interpreting and maintaining the rituals of Roman religion.

Tajuk bagi imam besar Roma pagan ialah Pontifex Maximus, dan itu juga merupakan tajuk bagi imam besar Roma kepausan, dan ia ialah istilah Latin yang bererti “Yang Teragung dari Pontif Tertinggi.” Dia ialah imam besar bagi agama negara Rom, khususnya kultus dewa Jupiter. Pontifex Maximus mempunyai kuasa dan tanggungjawab keagamaan yang besar, termasuk mengawasi pelbagai upacara keagamaan dan memastikan keberjalanan yang sewajarnya bagi kalendar keagamaan Rom. Pontifex Maximus ialah ketua Kolegium Pontif (Collegium Pontificum), suatu kelompok imam yang bertanggungjawab menafsirkan dan memelihara ritual agama Rom.

The chief priest of both pagan and papal Rome was Pontifex Maximus, therefore the title of the head of modern Rome will naturally also be Pontifex Maximus. The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and the religion of papal Rome was, and still is, paganism, but cloaked by a profession of Christianity, and the religion of last-day modern Rome will be paganism, cloaked by a profession of Christianity.

Both pagan and papal Rome had a specific period of time that they would rule supremely. Pagan Rome was to rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years in fulfillment of the time prophecy of Daniel chapter eleven, verse twenty-four.

Roma ya baheitane le ya bopapa ka bobedi di be di neilwe nako ye e kgethegilego yeo ka yona di bego di tla buša ka godimo ga tšohle. Roma ya baheitane e be e tla buša ka godimo ga tšohle ka nywaga e makgolotharo le masometshela, e le go phethagatša boporofeta bja nako bja Daniele kgaolo ya lesometee, temana ya masomepedi-nne.

> He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.

> Тэр мужийн хамгийн үржил шимтэй газруудад хүртэл амгалангаар орж, эцэг өвгөд нь ч, тэдний эцэг өвгөд нь ч хийж байгаагүйг үйлдэх болно; тэр олз, дээрэм, эд баялгийг тэдний дунд тараах болно; тийм ээ, тэр бэхлэлтүүдийн эсрэг өөрийн арга мэхийг, зөвхөн нэгэн хугацааны турш, төлөвлөх болно. Даниел 11:24.

The subject of verse twenty-four is pagan Rome, for they became the subject in verse sixteen, and continue as the subject until verse thirty-one. We will address these verses specifically in coming articles, but here we are simply pointing out that prophecy identified that pagan Rome would rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years, as represented by Rome “forecasting” their “devices against the strong holds, even for a time.” The word translated “against” actually means “from,” and the verse is saying that Rome would direct the world “from” the “strong holds,” which was the City of Rome, and it would do so for a “time”, which is three hundred and sixty years.

Molao wa temana ya mashome a mabedi le nne ke Roma ya bohetene, hobane ba ile ba eba molao wa puisano temaneng ya leshome le tsheletseng, mme ba tswela pele e le molao wa puisano ho fihlela temaneng ya mashome a mararo a motso o mong. Re tla sebetsana le ditemana tsena ka ho toba dihloohong tse tlang, empa mona re mpa re supa hore boprofeta bo ile ba tsebahatsa hore Roma ya bohetene e ne e tla busa ka matla a phahameng ka dilemo tse makgolo a mararo le mashome a tsheletseng, jwalokaha ho emetswe ke hore Roma e ne e “rera” “maqheka a yona kgahlanong le diqhobosheane tse tiileng, esita le ka nako.” Lentswe le fetoletsweng e le “kgahlanong le” ha e le hantle le bolela “ho tswa ho,” mme temana e bolela hore Roma e ne e tla laola lefatshe “ho tswa ho” “diqhobosheane tse tiileng,” e leng Motse wa Roma, mme e ne e tla etsa jwalo ka “nako,” e leng dilemo tse makgolo a mararo le mashome a tsheletseng.

Pagan Rome began to rule supremely at the Battle of Actium, in 31 BC, and continued to rule supremely until the year 330 AD, when Constantine moved the capital of the empire from the stronghold of the City of Rome, to the City of Constantinople. Then the empire began its infamous decline. The City of Rome was the prophetic “strong hold” for pagan Rome, and when it ruled from that city it was invincible. In the warfare that followed Constantine’s transfer of power, the City of Rome became the target of attack for Genseric and the invading barbarian tribes, who are represented by the first four Trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.

Roma pagan mula memerintah dengan berdaulat mutlak pada Pertempuran Actium, pada tahun 31 SM, dan terus memerintah dengan berdaulat mutlak hingga tahun 330 M, apabila Constantine memindahkan ibu kota empayar itu dari kubu kuat Kota Roma ke Kota Constantinople. Maka empayar itu pun mula mengalami kemerosotannya yang masyhur. Kota Roma ialah “kubu kuat” nubuat bagi Roma pagan, dan apabila ia memerintah dari kota itu, ia tidak dapat dikalahkan. Dalam peperangan yang menyusuli pemindahan kuasa oleh Constantine, Kota Roma menjadi sasaran serangan bagi Genseric dan suku-suku barbar yang menyerbu, yang dilambangkan oleh empat Sangkakala pertama dalam Wahyu pasal lapan.

For this reason in Daniel chapter eleven, verse thirty-one, the “arms” (pagan Rome) that stood up for the papacy, first polluted the “sanctuary of strength.” The City of Rome is the prophetic “sanctuary of strength” for both pagan and papal Rome, for in the year 330, with the transfer of pagan authority to Constantinople, the City of Rome was left to papal Rome that was on the rise. For this reason, Revelation chapter thirteen, verse two says the dragon (pagan Rome), gave papal Rome its “seat.” A “seat” is where a power rules from, and from the year 538 through to 1798, papal Rome ruled supremely as had pagan Rome ruled supremely for “a time”.

Atas sebab ini, dalam Daniel pasal sebelas, ayat tiga puluh satu, “lengan-lengan” itu (Roma kafir) yang bangkit untuk menyokong kepausan, mula-mula mencemarkan “tempat kudus kekuatan.” Kota Roma ialah “tempat kudus kekuatan” secara nubuatan bagi kedua-dua Roma kafir dan Roma kepausan, kerana pada tahun 330, dengan pemindahan kuasa kafir ke Konstantinopel, Kota Roma telah ditinggalkan kepada Roma kepausan yang sedang bangkit. Atas sebab ini, Wahyu pasal tiga belas, ayat dua mengatakan bahawa naga itu (Roma kafir), memberikan “takhtanya” kepada Roma kepausan. “Takhta” ialah tempat dari mana suatu kuasa memerintah, dan dari tahun 538 hingga 1798, Roma kepausan memerintah dengan kekuasaan tertinggi sebagaimana Roma kafir telah memerintah dengan kekuasaan tertinggi selama “satu masa”.

Prophecy identifies a specific period of time when both pagan and papal Rome would rule supremely, and when they did so it would be from their seat of authority, which was the City of Rome. Pagan Rome’s invincibility ended when they left the City of Rome, marking the end of the three hundred and sixty years, represented as a “time” in verse twenty-four, and when the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal rule ended in 1798, Napoleon had the pope taken out of the City of Rome and he died in exile.

Ka siphorofeta yi kombisa nkarhi wo karhi lowu hi wona Rhoma ya vukhongeri bya vamatiko ni Rhoma ya vapapa a swi ta fuma hi ku hetiseka, naswona loko swi endla tano, a swi ta va swi ri ku suka exiluvelweni xa swona xa vulawuri, lexi a ku ri Doroba ra Rhoma.

Pagan Rome and Papal Rome establish that modern Rome will rule supremely for a specific prophetic period in the last days. “Time is no longer”, but the period of papal persecution of the last days is a specific period that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States and continues until human probation closes, when Michael stands up and pronounces, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”

Rome ya Bahedeni mpe Rome ya Bapapa ezali kotelemisa ete Rome ya lelo ekoyangela na bokonzi ya likolo mpenza mpo na eleko moko ya sikisiki ya esakweli na mikolo ya nsuka. “Ntango ezali lisusu te”, kasi eleko ya minyoko ya bopapa na mikolo ya nsuka ezali eleko moko ya sikisiki oyo ebandi na mobeko ya Lomingo oyo ezali koya nokinoki na Etats-Unis mpe ekobi kino tango ya ngolu ya bomoto ekokangama, tango Mikaele akotelema mpe akoloba: “Moto oyo azangi bosembo, tika ete azanga bosembo kaka; mpe oyo azali mbindo, tika ete azala mbindo kaka; mpe oyo azali moyengebene, tika ete azala moyengebene kaka; mpe oyo azali mosantu, tika ete azala mosantu kaka.”

Pagan Rome persecuted Christians in the Colosseum in the City of Rome during its bloody history, and Christian historians have estimated that during the Dark Ages of papal rule one hundred million martyrs were murdered by the papacy, but the papacy denies that claim and sets the estimate at about fifty million. Pagan and papal Rome both persecuted God’s faithful, and modern Rome will also persecute God’s faithful people in the last days.

Roma pagan menyiksa orang Kristen di Koloseum di Kota Roma sepanjang sejarahnya yang berdarah, dan para sejarawan Kristen telah memperkirakan bahwa selama Abad Kegelapan pemerintahan kepausan, seratus juta martir dibunuh oleh kepausan, tetapi kepausan menyangkal klaim itu dan menetapkan perkiraannya sekitar lima puluh juta. Roma pagan dan Roma kepausan sama-sama menganiaya umat Allah yang setia, dan Roma modern juga akan menganiaya umat Allah yang setia pada akhir zaman.

Pagan Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Papal Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Modern Rome overcame the King of the South (the atheistic Soviet Union) in 1989, and will next overthrow the glorious land (the United States) at the soon coming Sunday law. It will then overcome Egypt (the entire world).

> “Those who keep God’s commandments, those who live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, compose the church of the living God. Those who choose to follow Antichrist are subjects of the great apostate. Ranged under the banner of Satan, they break God’s law, and lead others to break it. They endeavor so to frame the laws of nations that men shall show their loyalty to earthly governments by trampling upon the laws of God’s kingdom.

> “The so-called Christian world is to be the theater of great and decisive actions. Men in authority will enact laws controlling the conscience, after the example of the Papacy. Babylon will make all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Every nation will be involved.” Manuscript Releases, volume 1, 296.

> “Alam yang disebut Kristian itu akan menjadi gelanggang bagi tindakan-tindakan besar dan yang menentukan. Orang-orang yang berkuasa akan menggubal undang-undang yang mengawal hati nurani, menurut teladan Kepausan. Babel akan membuat semua bangsa minum dari anggur murka percabulannya. Setiap bangsa akan terlibat.” Manuscript Releases, jilid 1, 296.

In order to defend the truth that identifies the “glorious land” of Daniel eleven verse forty-one as a symbol of the United States, the Lion of the tribe of Judah opened to the students of prophecy of the last days the principle of the triple application of prophecy. The light from those last six verses, have been established by applying the history represented by “the daily” in the book of Daniel, as set forth in verse thirty-one of Daniel eleven, unto the last six verses of the chapter. The same bedrock truth (“the daily”), that became the key of Miller’s prophetic framework, also produced the prophetic framework of the last days. Miller’s framework was based upon the two desolating powers of paganism and papalism that persecuted God’s people, and the framework of the last days is based upon the three desolating powers that persecute God’s people in the last days.

Bakeng sa go šireletša therešo yeo e hlaolago “naga e botse” ya Daniele 11:41 bjalo ka seswantšho sa United States, Tau ya moloko wa Juda e buletše barutwana ba boporofeta ba mehla ya bofelo molao wa tšhomišo ye meraro ya boporofeta.

The increase of knowledge represented in the last six verses of Daniel eleven, that represent the increase of knowledge that arrived in 1989, and that are represented by the Hiddekel River, was resisted by the enemies of truth. That resistance led to an understanding of the principle of the triple application of prophecy, which was first recognized as a triple application of Rome, which is the subject that establishes the vision of prophetic history.

> Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18.

> Որտեղ տեսիլք չկա, ժողովուրդը կործանվում է, բայց օրէնքը պահողը երանելի է։ Առակաց 29:18։

The triple application of the three manifestations of Rome identifies that pagan and papal Rome’s religion is paganism, and that their religion is governed by a man titled Pontifex Maximus. Those two manifestations of Rome identify that three geographical powers are removed in advance of them ruling supremely for a specified period of time, and that they will rule from the seven-hilled city of Rome, which is their sanctuary of strength. They both witnessed to the fact that they persecuted God’s faithful people. Therefore, based upon these two witnesses we know that modern Rome’s religion will be paganism, and that she will be directed by the pope of Rome whose title is Pontifex Maximus.

Tšenyo ya boraro ya diponagalo tše tharo tša Roma e bontšha gore bodumedi bja Roma ya boheitene le ya bopapa ke boheitene, le gore bodumedi bja bona bo bušwa ke monna yo a nago le sereto sa Pontifex Maximus.

Before the great whore takes control and rules supremely modern Rome will need to overcome three obstacles, and the first obstacle is past history with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1989, Rome’s atheistic enemy that resisted Rome’s power in Europe. The next obstacle is overthrown at the soon coming Sunday law in the United States, and then the United Nations will give its authority unto modern Rome for a short space. Once it is fully enthroned the persecution of the last days will take place.

Ntate yo mogolo a tsaya taolo a bo a buša ka mo go feletšego, Roma ya sebjalebjale e tla swanelwa ke go fenya mapheko a mararo; gomme lepheko la pele ke histori ya nakong ye e fetilego ka go wa ga Soviet Union ka 1989, e lego lenaba la Roma la go se dumele go Modimo leo le ganeditšego maatla a Roma kua Yuropa.

The book of Daniel, and especially Revelation chapter eight, provide the prophetic characteristics of Rome, which contribute to the correct understanding of modern Rome. One of those characteristics was the division of the Roman Empire into East and West as accomplished by Constantine in the year 330. Pagan Rome and papal Rome, when considered together, also speak to the twofold nature of Rome. Constantine’s division that produced western and eastern Rome is a second witness to pagan and papal Rome. Constantine set up the civil authority in the east, and left the ecclesiastical authority in the west. Pagan Rome represented statecraft and papal Rome represented churchcraft. The east was statecraft, the west was churchcraft as typified by the iron and clay of Daniel two, or the masculine horn and feminine horn of Daniel eight, or the beasts of prey of Daniel seven, and the sanctuary beasts of Daniel eight.

Buku Daniel, dan khususnya Wahyu pasal delapan, menyajikan ciri-ciri nubuatan tentang Roma, yang berkontribusi kepada pemahaman yang benar mengenai Roma modern. Salah satu dari ciri-ciri itu ialah pembagian Kekaisaran Romawi menjadi Timur dan Barat sebagaimana dilaksanakan oleh Konstantinus pada tahun 330. Roma kafir dan Roma kepausan, apabila dipertimbangkan bersama-sama, juga berbicara tentang sifat ganda Roma. Pembagian oleh Konstantinus yang menghasilkan Roma barat dan Roma timur merupakan saksi kedua bagi Roma kafir dan Roma kepausan. Konstantinus menegakkan otoritas sipil di timur, dan meninggalkan otoritas gerejawi di barat. Roma kafir melambangkan kenegaraan dan Roma kepausan melambangkan kegerejaan. Timur adalah kenegaraan, barat adalah kegerejaan sebagaimana dilambangkan oleh besi dan tanah liat dalam Daniel dua, atau tanduk jantan dan tanduk betina dalam Daniel delapan, atau binatang-binatang buas pemangsa dalam Daniel tujuh, dan binatang-binatang tempat kudus dalam Daniel delapan.

Modern Rome will also be twofold in nature, consisting of a combination of church and state, of iron and clay, and of churchcraft and statecraft, but Modern Rome is also threefold in nature. In Revelation chapter eight both western and eastern Rome were literally and symbolically divided into three. Constantine ruling from eastern Rome literally divided his kingdom to his three sons, and western Rome was symbolically represented by the sun, moon and stars that represented the threefold form of government that was employed by the Roman Empire. Thus, Modern Rome, though being twofold of churchcraft and statecraft, would also represent a threefold union represented by the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

ਰੂਮੀ ਆਧੁਨਿਕਤਾ ਵੀ ਸੁਭਾਵ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੋਹਰੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ, ਜੋ ਕਲੀਸਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਜ ਦੇ ਸੰਯੋਗ, ਲੋਹੇ ਅਤੇ ਮਿੱਟੀ ਦੇ ਮਿਲਾਪ, ਅਤੇ ਕਲੀਸਿਆਈ ਚਾਤੁਰਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਜਕਾਰੀ ਚਾਤੁਰਤਾ ਤੋਂ ਬਣੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ; ਪਰ ਆਧੁਨਿਕ ਰੋਮ ਸੁਭਾਵ ਵਿੱਚ ਤਿਹਰੀ ਵੀ ਹੈ। ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਦੀ ਪੋਥੀ ਦੇ ਅੱਠਵੇਂ ਅਧਿਆਇ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੱਛਮੀ ਅਤੇ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਰੋਮ ਦੋਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਾਬਦਿਕ ਅਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕਾਤਮਕ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਤਿੰਨ ਭਾਗਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੰਡਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਪੂਰਬੀ ਰੋਮ ਤੋਂ ਰਾਜ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਕਾਂਸਟੈਂਟਾਈਨ ਨੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਰਾਜ ਸ਼ਾਬਦਿਕ ਤੌਰ ‘ਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਤਿੰਨ ਪੁੱਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੰਡ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਅਤੇ ਪੱਛਮੀ ਰੋਮ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕਾਤਮਕ ਤੌਰ ‘ਤੇ ਸੂਰਜ, ਚੰਦ ਅਤੇ ਤਾਰਿਆਂ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਦਰਸਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਰੋਮੀ ਸਾਮਰਾਜ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਅਪਣਾਈ ਗਈ ਤਿਹਰੀ ਸ਼ਾਸਨ-ਪ੍ਰਣਾਲੀ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਨਿਧਿਤਵ ਕੀਤਾ। ਇਸ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ, ਆਧੁਨਿਕ ਰੋਮ, ਭਾਵੇਂ ਕਲੀਸਿਆਈ ਚਾਤੁਰਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਜਕਾਰੀ ਚਾਤੁਰਤਾ ਦੇ ਪੱਖੋਂ ਦੋਹਰਾ ਹੋਵੇ, ਤਦਾਪਿ ਉਹ ਅਜਦਾਹੇ, ਦਰਿੰਦੇ ਅਤੇ ਝੂਠੇ ਨਬੀ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਨਿਧਿਤ ਇੱਕ ਤਿਹਰੇ ਸੰਘ ਦਾ ਵੀ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।

The manifestations of pagan and papal Rome identify the complex prophetic makeup of the final Modern Rome. It is the threefold union that takes place at the soon coming Sunday law that leads the world to Armageddon. It is the worldwide “Image of the Beast” which is a symbol of the combination of Church and State. Its head is Pontifex Maximus, who rules from the City of Rome, which is the seat of his power. The man of sin’s civil authority will be provided by the United Nations, and the world will be forced to accept the threefold, yet dual system of the antichrist, by the coercive power of the United States. Thus, just as pagan Rome (the dragon) in Revelation thirteen, verse two, gave the papacy “his power, his seat and great authority”, the United States, as typified by pagan Rome, accomplishes the same three works for modern Rome. The seat is Vatican City in the seven-hilled city of Rome, the authority is the United Nations, and the power is the United States. Together they lead the world to a place where the papacy “shall come to his end, and none shall help him”.

> And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. Revelation 16:12–17.

> আর ষষ্ঠ স্বর্গদূত তাঁর পাত্রটি মহানদী ইউফ্রেটিসের উপর ঢেলে দিলেন; এবং তার জল শুকিয়ে গেল, যাতে পূর্বদেশীয় রাজাগণের পথ প্রস্তুত হয়। আর আমি দেখলাম, ড্রাগনের মুখ থেকে, পশুর মুখ থেকে, এবং মিথ্যা ভাববাদীর মুখ থেকে ব্যাঙের ন্যায় তিনটি অশুচি আত্মা বেরিয়ে আসছে। কারণ তারা দুষ্টাত্মাদের আত্মা, যারা অলৌকিক কার্য সাধন করে, এবং পৃথিবীর রাজাগণের ও সমগ্র জগতের রাজাগণের কাছে বেরিয়ে যায়, যাতে তাদের সর্বশক্তিমান ঈশ্বরের সেই মহান দিনের যুদ্ধের জন্য একত্র করা যায়। দেখ, আমি চোরের ন্যায় আসি। ধন্য সে, যে জাগ্রত থাকে এবং নিজের বস্ত্র রক্ষা করে, যাতে সে উলঙ্গ হয়ে না চলে, এবং লোকেরা তার লজ্জা না দেখে। আর তিনি তাদের হিব্রু ভাষায় হার্‌মাগিদ্দোন নামে পরিচিত এক স্থানে সমবেত করলেন। আর সপ্তম স্বর্গদূত তাঁর পাত্রটি আকাশমণ্ডলে ঢেলে দিলেন; তখন স্বর্গের মন্দির থেকে, সিংহাসন হতে, এক মহৎ রব নির্গত হল, যা বলল, সমাপ্ত হল। প্রকাশিত বাক্য 16:12–17।
