Daniel chapter six, is the third line in the first six chapters of Daniel, which directly presents an illustration of the Sunday law crisis. In chapter three Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, and the three worthies, represent the ensign which is lifted up, and the entire world beholds.

Danial bab enam ialah garis ketiga dalam enam bab pertama kitab Danial, yang secara langsung mengemukakan suatu gambaran tentang krisis hukum Ahad. Dalam bab tiga, patung emas Nebukadnezar dan tiga orang yang setia itu melambangkan panji yang diangkat, dan yang disaksikan oleh seluruh dunia.

> 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. Daniel 3:2.

> Lalu Raja Nebukadnezar menyuruh mengumpulkan para pembesar, para gabenor, para panglima, para hakim, para bendahara, para penasihat, para syerif, dan semua pemerintah wilayah, supaya datang menghadiri pentahbisan patung yang telah didirikan oleh Raja Nebukadnezar itu. Daniel 3:2.

In chapter three, the three worthies refused to bow, and their action brought upon them the persecution of the furnace, whereas Daniel in chapter six, bows three times a day, and his action brought upon him the persecution of the lion’s den. Line upon line, they represent the Sunday law persecution as a decision of worship, that in both cases, has already been determined by the faithful. Those represented by the three and one combination that symbolizes the one hundred and forty-four thousand have settled into the truth before the shaking of persecution arrives.

Dalam pasal tiga, ketiga orang saleh itu menolak sujud, dan tindakan mereka mendatangkan atas mereka aniaya perapian yang menyala-nyala; sedangkan Daniel dalam pasal enam, sujud tiga kali sehari, dan tindakannya mendatangkan atas dirinya aniaya gua singa. Baris demi baris, mereka melambangkan aniaya hukum hari Minggu sebagai suatu keputusan penyembahan, yang dalam kedua-dua keadaan, telah pun ditentukan oleh orang-orang setia. Mereka yang dilambangkan oleh gabungan tiga dan satu yang menyimbolkan seratus empat puluh empat ribu itu telah diteguhkan dalam kebenaran sebelum goncangan aniaya itu datang.

> “Said the angel, ‘Deny self; ye must step fast.’ Some of us have had time to get the truth and to advance step by step, and every step we have taken has given us strength to take the next. But now time is almost finished, and what we have been years learning, they will have to learn in a few months. They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again. Those who would not receive the mark of the beast and his image when the decree goes forth, must have decision now to say, Nay, we will not regard the institution of the beast.” Early Writings, 68.

> “Berkata malaikat itu, ‘Sangkalilah diri; kamu harus melangkah dengan segera.’ Sebagian daripada kita telah mempunyai waktu untuk menerima kebenaran dan maju selangkah demi selangkah, dan setiap langkah yang telah kita ambil telah memberi kita kekuatan untuk mengambil langkah berikutnya. Tetapi sekarang waktu hampir berakhir, dan apa yang telah kita pelajari selama bertahun-tahun, mereka harus mempelajarinya dalam beberapa bulan. Mereka juga harus banyak meninggalkan apa yang telah dipelajari dan banyak mempelajarinya kembali. Mereka yang tidak mau menerima tanda binatang itu dan patungnya ketika keputusan itu diberlakukan, harus mempunyai ketegasan sekarang untuk berkata, Tidak, kami tidak akan mengindahkan lembaga binatang itu.” Early Writings, 68.

In chapter five, the Sunday law is addressing the end of the earth beast, and the judgment brought by the enemies that came through the wall.

Dalam pasal lima, undang-undang hari Minggu sedang menyinggung akhir dari binatang bumi itu, dan penghakiman yang didatangkan oleh musuh-musuh yang masuk melalui tembok itu.

> In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. Daniel 5:30, 31.

> ในคืนเดียวกันนั้น เบลชัสซาร์กษัตริย์ของชาวเคลเดียก็ถูกปลงพระชนม์ และดาริอัสชาวมีเดียได้รับราชอาณาจักร เมื่อมีอายุประมาณหกสิบสองปี ดาเนียล 5:30, 31

In chapter six, the sealing of God’s people, represented by the king’s seal being placed upon the lion’s den is identified.

Ka kgaolo ya borataro, go supiwa go kanngwa ga batho ba Modimo ka sekano, go emetswe ke sekano sa kgosi se se bewa mo mongobong wa ditau.

> 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 6:17.

> Mwaga tli bupedwe, no kubikwa pa mulomo wa rwizi; no mfumu yausindikile na cikanda caiko mwini, na cikanda ca bakulu baiko; kuti cakulinga cisa cinjike pa vya Daniele. Daniele 6:17.

The three lines all contribute to the characteristics of the ensign that is lifted up in a cloud, during the hour of the great earthquake in Revelation chapter eleven.

Mela e meraro kaofela e tlaleletša go dibopego tša folaga yeo e emišwago lerung, nakong ya iri ya tšhišinyego e kgolo ya lefase go Kutollo kgaolo ya lesometee.

> And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 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 11:12, 13.

> Mereka mendengar suatu suara nyaring dari sorga berkata kepada mereka, “Naiklah ke mari.” Lalu mereka naik ke sorga dalam awan, dan musuh-musuh mereka melihat mereka. Pada saat itu juga terjadilah gempa bumi yang besar, dan sepersepuluh dari kota itu runtuh, dan dalam gempa bumi itu tewas tujuh ribu orang; dan orang-orang yang selebihnya menjadi sangat ketakutan, lalu memuliakan Allah yang di sorga. Wahyu 11:12, 13.

Daniel chapter six, identifies the sealing of God’s people, but it is more specifically addressing the punishment of the confederacy of the “presidents, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains,” that deceived the king into killing Daniel. The deception of the king (a symbol of the state), is a significant prophetic subject, containing several prophetic witnesses. Unlike Nebuchadnezzar in chapter three, or Belshazzar in chapter five, who were both oblivious to Daniel and the three witnesses until after the crisis arrived, Darius’ “preference” for Daniel, in advance of the crisis identifies a different setting for the crisis of the Sunday law.

Daniel chapter six i taler miphawh sakna chu Pathian mite tihchhinchhiahna a ni a, mahse a bik takin “presidents, governors, princes, counsellors, and captains” te pawl in inkawpna siam a, an lal chu Daniel tihhlum tûra an bumna avanga an hremna chungchang a sawina a ni. Lal bumna chu (ram rorelna entîrna), thupuan lam thupui pawimawh tak a ni a, chutah chuan thupuan hriattîrtu tam tak a awm. Bung thum-a Nebuchadnezzar emaw, bung nga-a Belshazzar emaw ang lovin, an pahnih hian buaina a thlen hmain Daniel leh hriattîrtu pathumte chu an hre lo va; Darius-a “duhsakna” Daniel chungah, buaina a lo thlen hma lawka a neih chu Sunday law buaina dinhmun dang a entîr a ni.

Daniel was “preferred” above the other two presidents, and the three presidents were over the one hundred and twenty princes. Daniel is contrasted primarily with the presidents and princes, and he is favored above the two that form a confederacy of deception represented by five (five foolish virgins).

Daniel “diutamakan” daripada dua orang presiden yang lain, dan ketiga-tiga presiden itu berada di atas seratus dua puluh orang pembesar. Daniel terutama sekali dibandingkan dengan para presiden dan para pembesar itu, dan dia dikurniai keutamaan melebihi dua orang yang membentuk suatu persekutuan penipuan yang dilambangkan oleh lima (lima anak dara yang bodoh).

> It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. Daniel 6:1–5.

> Darius menganggap baik untuk mengangkat atas kerajaan itu seratus dua puluh orang pembesar, yang harus memerintah atas seluruh kerajaan itu; dan di atas mereka tiga orang presiden, yang salah seorangnya ialah Daniel; supaya para pembesar itu memberikan pertanggungan jawab kepada mereka, dan raja tidak menderita kerugian. Maka Daniel ini dilebihkan daripada para presiden dan pembesar itu, karena roh yang luar biasa ada padanya; dan raja bermaksud mengangkat dia atas seluruh kerajaan. Lalu para presiden dan pembesar itu berusaha mencari alasan untuk mendakwa Daniel dalam hal pemerintahan; tetapi mereka tidak dapat menemukan alasan ataupun kesalahan; sebab ia setia, dan tidak didapati padanya sesuatu kekeliruan ataupun kesalahan. Maka berkatalah orang-orang itu, “Kita tidak akan menemukan alasan apa pun terhadap Daniel ini, kecuali jika kita menemukannya terhadap dia berkenaan dengan hukum Allahnya.” Daniel 6:1–5.

Darius is being used to illustrate a deception that is carried out against the king, which represents the ten kings (the United Nations), at the end of the world. The deception contributes to the hatred which the ten kings (the United Nations), manifest against the whore (the papacy), which causes them to “make her desolate and naked,” and “eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”

Darius digunakan untuk menggambarkan suatu penipuan yang dilaksanakan terhadap raja, yang melambangkan sepuluh raja (Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu), pada akhir dunia. Penipuan itu menyumbang kepada kebencian yang dinyatakan oleh sepuluh raja (Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu) terhadap pelacur itu (kepausan), yang menyebabkan mereka “membuatnya sunyi sepi dan telanjang,” serta “memakan dagingnya, dan membakarnya dengan api.”

> And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:16–18.

> ထို့ပြင် သင် မြင်ခဲ့သော သားရဲအပေါ်ရှိ ချိုဆယ်ချောင်းသည် ထိုပြည့်တန်ဆာမကို မုန်းတီးကြလိမ့်မည်။ သူမကို ပျက်စီးသွားစေ၍ အဝတ်မဲ့အရှက်ကွဲစေကြလိမ့်မည်။ သူမ၏အသားကို စားကြလိမ့်မည်။ မီးဖြင့်လည်း သူမကို လောင်ကျွမ်းစေကြလိမ့်မည်။ အကြောင်းမူကား၊ ဘုရားသခင်သည် မိမိ၏အလိုတော်ကို ပြည့်စုံစေရန်၊ တညီတညွတ်တည်း သဘောတူစေရန်၊ ဘုရားသခင်၏ နှုတ်ကပတ်တော်များ ပြည့်စုံလာမည့်အချိန်တိုင်အောင် မိမိတို့၏နိုင်ငံကို သားရဲအား ပေးအပ်စေရန် သူတို့၏စိတ်နှလုံးထဲ၌ ထည့်တော်မူပြီ။ ထို့ပြင် သင် မြင်ခဲ့သော မိန်းမသည် လောကီမြေကြီး၏ ဘုရင်များအပေါ် အုပ်စိုးသော မြို့ကြီးဖြစ်သည်။ ဗျာဒိတ်ကျမ်း ၁၇:၁၆–၁၈။

The United Nations (the seventh kingdom), will destroy the papacy, even though they will have just recently given her their kingdom, for they rule for a “short space.”

Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (kerajaan ketujuh) akan membinasakan kepausan, meskipun mereka baru sahaja memberikan kerajaan mereka kepadanya, kerana mereka memerintah untuk “seketika lamanya.”

> And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Revelation 17:10.

> Nak kuna tujuh orang raja: lima sudah jatuh, dan satu ada, dan yang lain belum datang; dan apabila ia datang, ia mesti tinggal seketika lamanya. Wahyu 17:10.

At the Sunday law the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, the earth beast of Revelation thirteen (the United States), has just finished its reign of the seventy symbolic years, in which the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy, the sea beast of Revelation thirteen (the papacy), has been forgotten for those seventy symbolic years of Isaiah chapter twenty-three.

在星期日法案颁布之时，圣经预言中的第六个国度，即启示录第十三章中的地兽（美国），正好结束了它那七十个象征性年日的统治；在这七十个象征性年日中，圣经预言中的第五个国度，即启示录第十三章中的海兽（教皇权），照以赛亚书第二十三章所说，已被遗忘了这七十个象征性的年日。

> 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. Isaiah 23:15–17.

> Ka ba hri ha kata ka sngi, ba ia ka Tair yn klet noh haduh hynñiew phew snem, katkum ki sngi jong uwei u syiem: hadien kaba kut hynñiew phew snem ka Tair kan rwai kum ka jingïathoh shongkurim. Shim ka duitara, iaid kylleng ka nongbah, ma me ka jingïathoh shongkurim kaba la shah klet; pynitynnad ka sur, rwai bun ki jingïarwai, khnang ba yn kynmaw biang ia me. Bad ka jingïadei kan long hadien kaba kut hynñiew phew snem, ba U Trai un wan jngoh ia ka Tair, bad kan phai sha ka bainong jong ka, bad kan leh jingïathoh shongkurim bad baroh ki hima ka pyrthei halor ka sla khyndew. Isaiah 23:15–17.

At the Sunday law the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy, the ten kings (the United Nations), begins to reign, but only briefly, for the premier king of the ten kings, then begins its work of forcing the entire world to align under the structure of the beast, which is the combination of church and state, and is symbolized as the image of the beast.

Pada hukum Ahad, kerajaan ketujuh dalam nubuatan Alkitab, iaitu sepuluh raja (Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu), mula memerintah, tetapi hanya seketika sahaja, kerana raja utama bagi sepuluh raja itu kemudian mula melaksanakan tugasnya untuk memaksa seluruh dunia menyelaraskan diri di bawah struktur binatang itu, iaitu gabungan gereja dan negara, dan yang dilambangkan sebagai patung binatang itu.

> 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.

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

A primary element of the symbolism of the earth beast (the United States), that begins as a lamb and ends speaking as a dragon, is its speaking. Speaking prophetically identifies an action of the legislative and judicial authorities.

Unsur utama dalam perlambangan binatang bumi (Amerika Syarikat), yang bermula seperti anak domba dan berakhir dengan berkata-kata seperti naga, ialah pertuturannya. Dalam pengertian nubuatan, berkata-kata menandakan suatu tindakan pihak berkuasa perundangan dan kehakiman.

> “The speaking of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities.” The Great Controversy, 443.

> “Pertuturan bangsa itu ialah tindakan pihak berkuasa perundangan dan kehakimannya.” The Great Controversy, 443.

When the United States first spoke as a lamb, it produced the Constitution of the United States, thus establishing a land of refuge for those fleeing the persecution of the papacy and the kings of Europe.

Esi United States ekaba lae kani nama tek, ekaba lae Constitution of the United States, oina e haginia tano taubada taudia edia gabu hedinara, idau taudia papacy bona Europe ai king sividia edia dagedage sisinaena.

> And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. Revelation 12:16.

> విడవబడిన ఆ స్త్రీకి భూమి సహాయము చేసింది; భూమి తన నోరు తెరచి, అజగరు తన నోటి నుండి ఉమ్మివేసిన ప్రవాహమును మింగివేసెను. ప్రకటన 12:16.

At the end of the seventy symbolic years, the earth beast speaks again, but then as a dragon, as it enforces Sunday worship, which is the mark of papal authority. When the mark of papal authority is enforced, the papacy is remembered, and she is remembered, when the Commandment that was never to be forgotten is made illegal to observe.

Pada akhir tujuh puluh tahun simbolis itu, binatang bumi berbicara lagi, tetapi kali ini sebagai seekor naga, ketika ia memberlakukan ibadah hari Minggu, yang merupakan tanda otoritas kepausan. Ketika tanda otoritas kepausan itu diberlakukan, kepausan itu dikenang, dan ia dikenang, ketika Hukum yang tidak pernah boleh dilupakan dijadikan ilegal untuk ditaati.

> Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8–11.

> Ingatlah akan hari Sabat, untuk menguduskannya. Enam hari lamanya engkau akan bekerja dan melakukan segala pekerjaanmu; tetapi hari ketujuh ialah Sabat TUHAN, Allahmu; pada hari itu janganlah engkau melakukan sesuatu pekerjaan, baik engkau, maupun anakmu laki-laki, maupun anakmu perempuan, hambamu laki-laki, maupun hambamu perempuan, maupun ternakmu, maupun orang asing yang ada di dalam pintu gerbangmu. Sebab dalam enam hari TUHAN menjadikan langit dan bumi, laut dan segala isinya, lalu Ia berhenti pada hari ketujuh; oleh sebab itu TUHAN memberkati hari Sabat dan menguduskannya. Keluaran 20:8–11.

National apostasy is then followed by national ruin, and the three powers that lead the world to Armageddon join hands.

Kemurtadan bangsa kemudian diikuti oleh kehancuran bangsa, dan ketiga kuasa yang menuntun dunia kepada Armagedon bergandengan tangan.

> “By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

> “Ka ka hukum e hoʻokūpaʻa ana i ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka Papacy me ka ʻaihue ʻana i ke kānāwai o ke Akua, e hoʻokaʻawale loa ana ko kākou lāhui iā ia iho mai ka pono aku. I ka wā e hohola aku ai ka Protestantism i kona lima ma kēlā awāwa e lālau i ka lima o ka mana Roma, i ka wā e kīkoʻo aku ai ia ma luna o kēlā lua hohonu e puliki lima me ka Spiritualism, i ka wā hoʻi, ma lalo o ka mana o kēia hui pākolu, e hōʻole ai ko kākou ʻāina i kēlā me kēia kumukānāwai o kona Kumukānāwai ma ke ʻano he aupuni Protestant a repubalika, a e hoʻolako ai i ala no ka hoʻolaha ʻia ʻana o nā wahaheʻe a me nā hoʻopunipuni pāpale, a laila e hiki iā kākou ke ʻike ua hiki mai ka manawa no ka hana kupanaha a Sātana a ua kokoke mai ka hopena.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

When “Protestantism” (the United States), “the Roman power” (the Vatican) and “Spiritualism” (the United Nations), join hands at the Sunday law, they begin to lead the world to Armageddon, which is represented as first forcing the world to accept the authority of a one-world government, which consists of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. The power of the miracles that are employed by the earth beast, not only brings about the fornication of the whore of Tyre with the kings of the earth, but it enforces the “speaking” of the world-wide image of the beast. By prophetic definition this means the one-world government must have a legislative body (located in New York), and a judicial body (located in the Hague).

Apabila “Protestantisme” (Amerika Syarikat), “kuasa Rom” (Vatikan) dan “Spiritualisme” (Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu) berganding tangan pada hukum Ahad, mereka mula memimpin dunia menuju ke Armagedon, yang digambarkan sebagai mula-mula memaksa dunia menerima autoriti suatu kerajaan satu dunia, yang terdiri daripada gereja dan negara, dengan gereja menguasai hubungan tersebut. Kuasa mukjizat yang digunakan oleh binatang bumi itu bukan sahaja mendatangkan perzinahan pelacur Tirus dengan raja-raja di bumi, tetapi juga menguatkuasakan “pertuturan” patung binatang itu di seluruh dunia. Menurut takrif nubuat, ini bererti kerajaan satu dunia itu mesti mempunyai suatu badan perundangan (terletak di New York), dan suatu badan kehakiman (terletak di Hague).

> And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:14–18.

> అతడు మృగము సమక్షమున చేయుటకు తనకు అధికారము కలిగిన ఆ సూచకక్రియలచేత భూమిమీద నివసించువారిని మోసగించుచు, ఖడ్గఘాతము పొంది అయినను బ్రదికిన ఆ మృగమునకు ఒక ప్రతిమను చేయవలెనని భూమిమీద నివసించువారితో చెప్పెను. మరియు మృగముని ప్రతిమ మాటలాడునట్లు, మృగముని ప్రతిమను ఆరాధింపని వారందరును సంహరింపబడునట్లు, మృగముని ప్రతిమకు ప్రాణము ఇచ్చుటకు అతనికి అధికారము కలిగెను. మరియు అతడు చిన్నవారినీ గొప్పవారినీ, ధనవంతులనూ దరిద్రులనూ, స్వతంత్రులనూ దాసులనూ అందరినీ తమ కుడిచేతిలో గాని తమ నొసటులమీద గాని ఒక ముద్రను పొందునట్లు చేయుచున్నాడు. మరియు ఆ ముద్రగాని, మృగముని పేరుగాని, అతని పేరుసంఖ్యగాని కలిగినవాడే తప్ప మరెవడును కొనుటకైనను అమ్ముటకైనను శక్తి కలిగియుండకుండునట్లు చేయుచున్నాడు. ఇక్కడ జ్ఞానము కలదు. వివేకము గలవాడు మృగముని సంఖ్యను లెక్కించుగాక; అది ఒక మనుష్యుని సంఖ్య; అతని సంఖ్య ఆరు వందల అరువది ఆరు. ప్రకటన 13:14–18.

The earth beast (the United States), will deceive the entire world into accepting a worldwide image of the beast, the same image which the United States had formed as it led to and ultimately enforced the Sunday law. It will then empower the one-world government to enforce its laws upon pain of death, and/or economic penalties. The deception of Darius the king, is a symbol of the deception of the kings that is repeatedly identified in prophecy, for as the earth beast begins to force the world to accept the one-world government the argument that is used to force the world to accept the arrangement, is that the power that has angered the nations (Islam), must be opposed with a worldwide war.

బూమిమీదనున్న మృగము (యునైటెడ్ స్టేట్స్), ఆదివారపు ధర్మశాసనాన్ని ముందుకు నడిపి చివరికి అమలు చేయించినప్పుడు యునైటెడ్ స్టేట్స్ ఏర్పరచిన అదే మృగముని ప్రతిమను, ప్రపంచవ్యాప్తంగా అంగీకరించునట్లు సమస్త లోకమును మోసగించును. తరువాత అది ఒకే లోక ప్రభుత్వానికి తన చట్టాలను మరణభయమునుగాని, మరియు/లేక ఆర్థిక శిక్షలనుగాని విధింపజేయుటకు అధికారమును కలిగించును. దార్యావేషు రాజు మోసపోవుట, ప్రవచనములో పదేపదే సూచించబడిన రాజుల మోసమునకు ఒక చిహ్నము; ఎందుకనగా, భూమిమీదనున్న మృగము లోకమును ఒకే లోక ప్రభుత్వమును అంగీకరింపజేయుటకు బలవంతపరచుట ప్రారంభించినప్పుడు, ఈ ఏర్పాటును అంగీకరింపజేయుటకు ఉపయోగించబడే వాదన ఏమనగా, జనములను కోపపెట్టిన శక్తి (ఇస్లాం)ను ప్రపంచవ్యాప్త యుద్ధముచేత ఎదిరించవలెననేది.

The United States enforces the mark of papal authority, for the judgments of God had brought such a state of crisis in the United States leading up to the Sunday law, that the solution was offered that by returning to the god of Catholicism, the economic hardships that had been increasing would be ended. Yet at the Sunday law, the enemy that had snuck in under the lower wall, brings the judgment of national ruin.

अमेरिका पोपसत्तात्मक अधिकारको छाप लागू गराउँछ, किनकि परमेश्वरका न्यायहरूले संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकामा आइतबारको व्यवस्थासम्म पुग्दा यस्तो सङ्कटको अवस्था ल्याएका थिए कि समाधानको रूपमा यो प्रस्ताव गरियो कि क्याथोलिकताका देवतासित फर्केर बढ्दै गइरहेका आर्थिक कष्टहरूको अन्त हुनेछ। तर आइतबारको व्यवस्थाकै समयमा, तल्लो पर्खालमुनिबाट चुपचाप भित्र पसेको शत्रुले राष्ट्रिय विनाशको न्याय ल्याउँछ।

> “And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated and upon grounds equally well established: ‘And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.’ 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God’s ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah.” The Great Controversy, 590.

In the “hour” of “the great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven, the “third Woe” of Islam, that is also the Seventh Trumpet then sounds, and it will anger the nations. That anger of the nations against Islam will be used to deceive the world into accepting the same empty promise that had just failed for the earth beast. The empty promise being; that by submitting to the authority of Catholicism, as represented by the mark of papal authority, that the increasing judgments of God would cease. That promise, already proven to be ineffective for the United States, will then be employed as a promise to the panicking world.

Dalam “jam” “gempa bumi yang besar” dalam Wahyu pasal sebelas, “Celaka” yang ketiga atas Islam, yang juga ialah Sangkakala Ketujuh, kemudian berbunyi, dan hal itu akan membangkitkan murka bangsa-bangsa. Murka bangsa-bangsa terhadap Islam itu akan digunakan untuk menipu dunia agar menerima janji kosong yang sama yang baru sahaja gagal bagi binatang dari bumi. Janji kosong itu ialah: bahawa dengan menundukkan diri kepada kuasa Katolik, sebagaimana diwakili oleh tanda kewibawaan kepausan, maka penghakiman-penghakiman Allah yang semakin meningkat akan berhenti. Janji itu, yang telah pun terbukti tidak berkesan bagi Amerika Syarikat, kemudian akan digunakan sebagai suatu janji kepada dunia yang panik.

It will be urged that if the nations of the world would only agree and allow the one-world government to be established for the purpose of addressing the warfare brought by Islam, stability would return. Islam is the power identified in the scriptures that brings every man together against Islam, but that coming together is the ultimate deception of the kings.

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

> Malaikat Tuhan berkata kepadanya, “Lihatlah, engkau sedang mengandung dan akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki; engkau harus menamai dia Ismael, karena Tuhan telah mendengar penderitaanmu. Dan ia akan menjadi seorang manusia liar; tangannya akan melawan setiap orang, dan tangan setiap orang akan melawan dia; dan ia akan tinggal di hadapan semua saudaranya.” Kejadian 16:11, 12.

Ishmael is the spiritual father of the religion of Islam. It is true that Mohammed, the father of Islam did not arrive in history until the seventh century, but the ancient literal people are what God uses to represent the spiritual people in the last days.

Ишмаэль — исламын шашны сүнслэг эцэг мөн. Исламын эцэг Мухаммед түүхэнд долоодугаар зуун хүртэл гарч ирээгүй нь үнэн; гэвч эртний бодит хүмүүсийг Бурхан эцсийн өдрүүд дэх сүнслэг хүмүүсийг төлөөлүүлэхэд ашигладаг.

> Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them. Isaiah 44:6, 7.

> Inilah firman TUHAN, Raja Israel dan Penebusnya, TUHAN semesta alam: Akulah yang terdahulu dan Akulah yang terkemudian; selain Aku tidak ada Allah. Siapakah seperti Aku, yang dapat menyerukan, memberitakannya, dan menyusunnya di hadapan-Ku, sejak Aku menetapkan umat purbakala? Dan hal-hal yang sedang datang dan yang akan terjadi, biarlah mereka memberitahukannya kepada mereka. Yesaya 44:6, 7.

Before Ishmael was born, he was named and his prophetic role was identified. His spiritual descendants’ hands would “be against every man, and every man’s hand” will be against “him.” And unlike the foolish teaching of progressive liberalism, the Bible teaches that Ishmael will “dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” They do not assimilate into the culture around them, but rather, many condemn it, protest against it and attack it. The spirit of Ishmael is that “he” would “be a wild man.” The idea that there exists a peaceful class of the Islamic faith is not sustained in God’s Word, nor in the Koran.

Sebelum Ismael dilahirkan, namanya telah ditetapkan dan peranan nubuatannya telah dikenal pasti. Tangan keturunan rohaninya akan “melawan tiap-tiap orang, dan tangan tiap-tiap orang” akan melawan “dia.” Dan tidak seperti ajaran bodoh liberalisme progresif, Alkitab mengajarkan bahawa Ismael akan “diam di hadapan semua saudaranya.” Mereka tidak berasimilasi ke dalam budaya di sekeliling mereka, melainkan ramai yang mengecamnya, membantahnya, dan menyerangnya. Roh Ismael ialah bahawa “dia” akan “menjadi seorang manusia liar.” Gagasan bahawa wujud suatu golongan damai dalam agama Islam tidak disokong oleh Firman Tuhan, mahupun oleh Al-Quran.

The deception of the two presidents and one hundred and twenty princes in Daniel chapter six, is identifying the deception that is brought upon the ten kings when they are led to believe the purpose and urgency for implementing a one-world government, under the control of Rome, is to address the escalating crisis of the Islamic warfare that is the “third Woe”. Once the image of the beast is set up and empowered to “speak,” the world will find out, too late, that the purposes of the papacy is to address those who uphold the seventh-day Sabbath (Daniel), not the enemy that snuck in through the unguarded southern wall.

Tipuan dua orang presiden dan seratus dua puluh pembesar dalam Daniel fasal enam mengenal pasti tipuan yang akan didatangkan ke atas sepuluh raja apabila mereka dipimpin untuk mempercayai bahawa tujuan dan keperluan mendesak bagi melaksanakan suatu pemerintahan dunia tunggal, di bawah kawalan Rom, adalah untuk menangani krisis peperangan Islam yang semakin memuncak, iaitu “Malapetaka” yang ketiga. Setelah patung binatang itu didirikan dan diberi kuasa untuk “berkata-kata”, dunia akan mendapati, apabila sudah terlambat, bahawa tujuan kepausan adalah untuk menghadapi mereka yang mempertahankan Sabat hari ketujuh (Daniel), bukannya musuh yang telah menyelinap masuk melalui tembok selatan yang tidak berkawal.

> “God’s word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution.” The Great Controversy, 581.

> “Firman Allah telah memberikan amaran tentang bahaya yang bakal mendatang; jika hal ini tidak diendahkan, maka dunia Protestan akan mengetahui apakah sebenarnya tujuan-tujuan Roma, hanya apabila sudah terlambat untuk melepaskan diri daripada jerat itu. Ia sedang berkembang secara senyap kepada kekuasaan. Doktrin-doktrinnya sedang melaksanakan pengaruhnya di dewan-dewan perundangan, di dalam gereja-gereja, dan di dalam hati manusia. Ia sedang menimbunkan bangunan-bangunannya yang tinggi dan besar, yang di dalam ceruk-ceruk rahsianya penganiayaan-penganiayaannya yang dahulu akan diulangi. Secara diam-diam dan tanpa disedari ia sedang memperkukuhkan kekuatannya untuk meneruskan tujuan-tujuannya sendiri apabila tiba masanya baginya untuk memukul. Segala yang diinginkannya hanyalah kedudukan yang menguntungkan, dan hal ini sudah pun sedang diberikan kepadanya. Tidak lama lagi kita akan melihat dan akan merasakan apakah tujuan unsur Roma itu. Sesiapa sahaja yang percaya dan mentaati firman Allah dengan demikian akan menanggung celaan dan penganiayaan.” The Great Controversy, 581.

The deception of the United Nations that is carried out by the papacy, that produces the vengeance of their hearts, is often illustrated in the Scriptures, and the story of Darius is a primary example of this truth. It is a deception that is accomplished first in the United States and then repeated upon the world. This truth is identified in the story of Elijah and Jezebel, then again in the story of John the Baptist and Herodias, as well as in the crucifixion of Christ. Islam’s angering of the nations is the ploy employed by the papal power that provides her the vantage ground for attacking Sabbath-keepers all around the world.

Penipuan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu yang dilaksanakan oleh kepausan, yang menghasilkan pembalasan hati mereka, sering digambarkan dalam Kitab Suci, dan kisah Darius ialah contoh utama bagi kebenaran ini. Ini merupakan suatu penipuan yang mula-mula dilaksanakan di Amerika Syarikat dan kemudian diulangi ke atas dunia. Kebenaran ini dikenal pasti dalam kisah Elia dan Izebel, kemudian sekali lagi dalam kisah Yohanes Pembaptis dan Herodias, serta dalam penyaliban Kristus. Kemarahan Islam yang membangkitkan bangsa-bangsa ialah muslihat yang digunakan oleh kuasa kepausan yang memberinya landasan strategik untuk menyerang para pemelihara Sabat di seluruh dunia.

The first mention of Islam is the introduction of Ishmael into the Scriptures, and the role identified of Islam at the end of the world that of putting the world into a universal panic so they will accept any proposal as a solution, is what allows the deception to be accomplished. The deception is what motivates the United Nations (the ten kings), to fulfill God’s will, and agree to give their kingdom (the seventh kingdom) unto the papacy (the beast).

The deception illustrated by Darius, and the other prophetic lines, includes the role of Islam angering the nations, the ultimate reason the papacy is destroyed by the United Nations, and just as significantly, it identifies the circumstances surrounding the enigma of the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven being put in place as the head of modern Babylon.

Penipuan yang digambarkan oleh Darius, dan garis-garis nubuatan yang lain, mencakup peranan Islam yang membangkitkan murka bangsa-bangsa, alasan terakhir mengapa kepausan dibinasakan oleh Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, dan sama pentingnya, hal itu mengidentifikasi keadaan-keadaan yang melingkupi teka-teki kerajaan kedelapan, yaitu yang berasal dari ketujuh, yang ditempatkan sebagai kepala Babel modern.

Daniel in the lion’s den is a very complex prophetic representation, but the understanding is only available when the methodology of “line upon line,” is applied.

Daniel di dalam gua singa merupakan suatu gambaran nubuat yang sangat kompleks, tetapi pemahamannya hanya dapat diperoleh apabila metodologi “baris demi baris” diterapkan.

We will continue Daniel chapter six in the next article.

Kita akan meneruskan Daniel bab enam dalam artikel yang seterusnya.
