Those on the wrong side of this final controversy of the symbol of Rome lean upon a flawed application of a triple application of prophecy as they suggest that the three Rome’s are defined by the three Sunday laws of the years 321, 538 and the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. In doing so they place an incorrect slant upon the rule and the prophetic history they select, as was also done in the controversy over the four insects of Joel. The four generations followed by four devouring insects in the first six verses of Joel address how God’s people are progressively decimated over four generations, and that the decimation was accomplished by Adventism’s acceptance of the theology of Rome and apostate Protestantism.

သူတို့သည် ဤနောက်ဆုံးအငြင်းပွားမှု၌ ရောမ၏သင်္ကေတနှင့်ပတ်သက်၍ မှားယွင်းသောဘက်တွင် ရပ်တည်လျက်၊ ပရောဖက်ပြုချက်ကို သုံးဆအလျောက် အသုံးချသည့်နည်းကို ချို့ယွင်းစွာ လက်ခံအမှီပြုကြသည်။ အကြောင်းမူကား ၎င်းတို့က ရောမသုံးခုပြီးကို 321 ခုနှစ်၊ 538 ခုနှစ်နှင့် မကြာမီ အမေရိကန်ပြည်ထောင်စု၌ ပေါ်ပေါက်လာမည့် တနင်္ဂနွေနေ့ဥပဒေတို့ သုံးခုဖြင့် သတ်မှတ်ထားသည်ဟု ဆိုကြသောကြောင့်ဖြစ်သည်။ ထိုသို့ပြုရာတွင် ၎င်းတို့သည် မိမိတို့ရွေးချယ်ထားသော စည်းမျဉ်းနှင့် ပရောဖက်ဆိုင်ရာသမိုင်းအပေါ် မှားယွင်းသောသဘောထားတစ်ရပ်ကို တင်ဆောင်ကြသည်။ ယင်းသည်လည်း ယောလ၏ ပိုးကောင်လေးမျိုးနှင့်ဆိုင်သော အငြင်းပွားမှု၌ ပြုခဲ့ကြသကဲ့သို့ပင် ဖြစ်သည်။ ယောလကျမ်း ပထမခြောက်ပိုဒ်တွင် ဖော်ပြထားသော မျိုးဆက်လေးဆက်နှင့် ၎င်းနောက်လိုက်သော ဖျက်ဆီးစားသောက်သည့် ပိုးကောင်လေးမျိုးတို့သည် ဘုရားသခင်၏လူမျိုးတော်သည် မျိုးဆက်လေးဆက်တိုင် တဖြည်းဖြည်း ဖျက်ဆီးလျော့နည်းသွားပုံကို ရည်ညွှန်းကြပြီး၊ ထိုဖျက်ဆီးလျော့နည်းမှုသည် Adventism က ရောမနှင့် ဘာသာပျက် ပရိုတက်စတန့်ဝါဒ၏ သီအိုလော်ဂျီကို လက်ခံယူသဖြင့် ဖြစ်ပေါ်လာခဲ့ခြင်းဖြစ်သည်။

In the current controversy those who attempt to employ the Sunday law to define the three Rome’s, avoid the truth that there are actually four Sunday laws that are identified in God’s prophetic Word, and that the year 321 represents the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, and the Sunday law of 538 typifies the Sunday law which is enforced upon all the nations of the world. Four Sunday laws does not identify three Sunday laws, especially when the third manifestation in a triple application of prophecy represents the final fulfillment. The soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is not the final Sunday law, it actually marks the beginning of a series of Sunday laws as each nation on the globe progressively accepts the mark of papal authority.

Kha thutê thuiah, mi ṭhenkhatin Rome pathum chu hrilfiah nan Sunday law hmang an tum laiin, Pathian thu hrilhlawknaa Sunday law pali tak a awm tih an hriat lo va; kum 321 chu United States-a a lo la thleng leh dawn Sunday law a entîr a, kum 538-a Sunday law chuan khawvêl ram zawng zawngah tihhlawhtlin tur Sunday law chu a entîr thung. Sunday law pali chu Sunday law pathum a kawk thei lo, a bîkin hrilhlawkna hmanga hman thumnaah langna pathumna chuan tawpna famkimna a entîr ṭhin avângin. United States-a a lo la thleng leh dawn Sunday law chu tawpna Sunday law a ni lo; khawvêl pum pui-a ram tinte’n pope thuneihna hriatna chhinchhiahna an pawm zel anga, Sunday law hrang hrang ziarin a lo chhuak zêl dawnna bul a tâwk zâwk a ni.

Those who were awakened in July, 2023, are required to understand that the prophetic test that confronts them occurs during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and that during that outpouring one class is receiving the “oil,” and the other class is receiving “strong delusion.” The primary representation of those who receive strong delusion is represented in the very chapter where the expression strong delusion is located, and in that chapter the truth that is either loved or rejected is the truth which defines the prophetic relationship between pagan Rome and papal Rome.

Mereka yang dibangunkan pada Juli 2023 dituntut untuk memahami bahwa ujian nubuatan yang mereka hadapi terjadi selama pencurahan Roh Kudus, dan bahwa selama pencurahan itu satu golongan sedang menerima “minyak,” sedangkan golongan yang lain sedang menerima “kesesatan yang kuat.” Gambaran utama dari mereka yang menerima kesesatan yang kuat dinyatakan dalam pasal yang sama tempat ungkapan kesesatan yang kuat itu terdapat, dan dalam pasal itu kebenaran yang entah dikasihi atau ditolak adalah kebenaran yang mendefinisikan hubungan kenabian antara Roma kafir dan Roma kepausan.

The prophetic relationship between 321 and 538 is shown by the prophetic relationship between the church of Pergamos and the church of Thyatira. In the last days, pagan Rome, represented by 321 and Pergamos, is a symbol of the United States, and papal Rome, represented by 538 and Thyatira, is a symbol of Modern Rome.

Hubungan nubuatan antara 321 dan 538 ditunjukkan oleh hubungan nubuatan antara jemaat Pergamus dan jemaat Tiatira. Pada akhir zaman, Roma kafir, yang dilambangkan oleh 321 dan Pergamus, merupakan lambang Amerika Serikat, dan Roma kepausan, yang dilambangkan oleh 538 dan Tiatira, merupakan lambang Roma Modern.

The first Rome of 321 was a singular power state, and the second Rome of 538 was a dual power representing a combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. The third and final Rome, which is modern Rome, is a threefold power that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

ရောမ၏ ပထမအဆင့်ဖြစ်သော ၃၂၁ ခုနှစ်က ရောမသည် တစ်ခုတည်းသော အာဏာပိုင်နိုင်ငံတစ်ရပ် ဖြစ်ခဲ့ပြီး၊ ၅၃၈ ခုနှစ်က ဒုတိယ ရောမသည် အသင်းတော်နှင့် နိုင်ငံတော် ပေါင်းစပ်ထားသော နှစ်မျိုးတည်းသော အာဏာတစ်ရပ်ဖြစ်၍ ထိုဆက်ဆံရေးတွင် အသင်းတော်က အုပ်စိုးထိန်းချုပ်လျက်ရှိခဲ့သည်။ တတိယနှင့် နောက်ဆုံး ရောမ၊ ယနေ့ခေတ် ရောမဖြစ်သောအရာမှာ နဂါး၊ သားရဲနှင့် မိစ္ဆာပရောဖက်တို့ဖြင့် ဖွဲ့စည်းထားသော သုံးမျိုးတည်းသော အာဏာတစ်ရပ် ဖြစ်သည်။

Paul taught that to not understand the prophetic and historic relationship of pagan Rome (the dragon) and papal Rome (the beast) was to manifest a hatred of the truth which brought about strong delusion. All the prophets, including Paul were more specifically addressing the last days, so the relationship between the two powers in Paul’s history represents the relationship between the three powers of Modern Rome in the last days. To reject the prophetic relationship that “forms” the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days is to secure strong delusion for yourself.

Paulus mengajarkan bahawa kegagalan untuk memahami hubungan nubuat dan sejarah antara Roma kafir (naga) dan Roma kepausan (binatang itu) merupakan pernyataan kebencian terhadap kebenaran yang mendatangkan kesesatan yang kuat. Semua nabi, termasuk Paulus, secara lebih khusus sedang membicarakan zaman akhir; oleh itu, hubungan antara kedua-dua kuasa dalam sejarah Paulus melambangkan hubungan antara tiga kuasa Roma Moden pada zaman akhir. Menolak hubungan nubuat yang “membentuk” kesatuan tiga serangkai antara naga, binatang itu, dan nabi palsu pada zaman akhir bererti memastikan kesesatan yang kuat atas dirimu sendiri.

Uriah Smith’s private interpretation of the king of the north represented a “cause” that produced an “effect.” But the class that is on the wrong side of the controversies about Rome is specifically identified as being unable to reason from cause to effect. Smith did not see that his flawed application of the king of the north would produce a prophetic platform which would lead him to also misrepresent the sixth plague, where there is a warning to keep or lose the garment of Christ’s righteousness.

Tafsiran peribadi Uriah Smith mengenai raja dari utara melambangkan suatu “sebab” yang menghasilkan suatu “akibat.” Tetapi golongan yang berada di pihak yang salah dalam pertikaian-pertikaian tentang Roma dikenal pasti secara khusus sebagai tidak mampu bernalar daripada sebab kepada akibat. Smith tidak melihat bahawa penerapannya yang cacat terhadap raja dari utara akan menghasilkan suatu landasan nubuat yang akan menuntunnya juga untuk salah menggambarkan tulah yang keenam, di mana terdapat suatu amaran untuk memelihara atau kehilangan pakaian kebenaran Kristus.

As with Paul’s emphasis in 2 Thessalonians, John in chapter sixteen of Revelation and the sixth plague emphasizes the necessity of understanding who the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon are. Smith’s flawed application of the king of the north provides witness to an inability to rightly apply types and antitypes.

Bagaimana dengan penekanan Paulus dalam 2 Tesalonika, Yohanes dalam pasal keenam belas Kitab Wahyu dan tulah yang keenam menekankan perlunya memahami siapakah tiga kuasa yang menuntun dunia menuju Armagedon. Penerapan Smith yang keliru tentang raja dari utara menjadi bukti ketidakmampuan untuk menerapkan tipe dan antitipe dengan benar.

Smith could not, or would not, apply the principle so strongly set forth in the writings of Paul that the literal before the time-period of the cross represented the spiritual after the time-period of the cross. When this principle is carefully and correctly followed it is easily demonstrated that the “king of the north” is one of many symbols that represent the spiritual “king of the north” in the last days. Seventh-day Adventists above any other people should know that one of the primary structures that prophecy is based upon is the controversy between Christ and Satan. Christ is the true King of the north, and Satan has been attempting to manifest himself as the counterfeit king of the north.

Smith ngak nguh, atawa teu daék, nerapkeun prinsip anu kacida pageuhna ditepikeun dina tulisan-tulisan Paulus yén anu literal saméméh mangsa salib ngagambarkeun anu rohani sanggeus mangsa salib. Lamun prinsip ieu dituturkeun kalayan taliti jeung leres, bakal gampang dibuktikeun yén “raja ti kalér” téh salah sahiji tina loba simbol anu ngagambarkeun “raja ti kalér” anu rohani dina poé-poé panungtungan. Umat Advent Hari Katujuh, leuwih ti batan jalma-jalma séjén mana waé, kedah nyaho yén salah sahiji struktur utama anu jadi dasar nubuat téh nya éta pertentangan antara Kristus jeung Iblis. Kristus nyaéta Raja sajati ti kalér, sarta Iblis geus narékahan pikeun nembongkeun dirina sorangan minangka raja palsu ti kalér.

> A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Psalms 48:1–3.

> Sebuah Nyanyian dan Mazmur bagi bani Korah. Besarlah TUHAN, dan sangat patut dipuji di kota Allah kita, di gunung kekudusan-Nya. Elok karena letaknya, sukacita seluruh bumi, ialah gunung Sion, di sebelah utara, kota Raja yang besar. Allah dikenal di istana-istananya sebagai tempat perlindungan. Mazmur 48:1–3.

Satan’s efforts to counterfeit the true King of the north, includes employing the pope of Rome as his earthly representative. Satan is antichrist, and so is the pope of Rome, who is Satan’s proxy in his work of deception.

Boitekošo bja Sathane bja go ekiša Kgoši ya therešo ya Leboa bo akaretša go diriša mopapa wa Roma bjalo ka moemedi wa gagwe wa lefaseng. Sathane ke antikriste, gomme le mopapa wa Roma le yena ke antikriste, e lego moemedi wa Sathane medirong ya gagwe ya bofora.

> “To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.

> “Untuk memperoleh keuntungan dan penghormatan duniawi, gereja telah dituntun untuk mencari perkenanan dan dukungan dari orang-orang besar di bumi; dan dengan demikian, setelah menolak Kristus, ia dibujuk untuk menyerahkan kesetiaan kepada wakil Setan—uskup Roma.” The Great Controversy, 50.

In the breakup of Alexander the Great’s kingdom, Seleucus Nicator became the first king of the north in the history represented in Daniel chapter eleven. His father, Antiochus, had been an influential leader in Alexander’s kingdom, and his son, Seleucus, was made the satrap of Babylon. A “satrap” is a governor, and when Seleucus had secured three of the four geographical areas that Alexander’s kingdom divided into, he became the king of the north.

Ka ho arohana ka kīngitanga o Alexander te Rahi, ka noho ko Seleucus Nicator hei kīngi tuatahi o te raki i roto i te hītori e whakaaturia ana i a Daniel upoko tekau mā tahi. Ko tōna matua, ko Antiochus, he kaiārahi whai mana i roto i te kīngitanga o Alexander, ā, ko tāna tama, ko Seleucus, i whakatauria hei satrap mō Papurona. Ko te “satrap” he kāwana, ā, nō te wā i mau ai i a Seleucus e toru o ngā rohe ā-whenua e whā i wāwāhia ai te kīngitanga o Alexander, ka noho ia hei kīngi o te raki.

Smith’s private interpretation and avoidance of grammatical rules led him to assume the final powers that made up Satan’s confederacy of evil in the last days were represented in prophecy as literal powers, not spiritual powers. Thus, he could not see that Seleucus Nicator as the first king of the north, the governor of Babylon, would of prophetic necessity represent the final spiritual king of the north who was the power that controlled modern spiritual Babylon.

Penafsiran peribadi Smith dan pengabaian terhadap kaedah tatabahasa telah membawanya kepada anggapan bahawa kuasa-kuasa terakhir yang membentuk konfederasi kejahatan Satan pada akhir zaman digambarkan dalam nubuatan sebagai kuasa harfiah, bukannya kuasa rohani. Oleh itu, dia tidak dapat melihat bahawa Seleucus Nicator sebagai raja utara yang pertama, gabenor Babilon, menurut keperluan nubuatan akan melambangkan raja utara rohani yang terakhir, iaitu kuasa yang menguasai Babilon rohani moden.

> And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:1-6.

> Үүний дараа долоон аяга барьсан долоон тэнгэрэлчийн нэг нь ирж, надтай ярин, надад ийн хэлэв: Нааш ир; олон усан дээр суугч агуу янхны шүүлтийг чамд үзүүлье. Түүнтэй газрын хаад садарлан үйлдэж, газрын оршин суугчид түүний садар самууны дарсанд согтсон билээ. Тэгээд тэр намайг Сүнсэн дотор цөл уруу аваачив. Би доромжлолын нэрсээр дүүрэн, долоон толгой, арван эвэртэй, час улаан өнгийн араатны дээр суусан нэгэн эмэгтэйг харлаа. Тэр эмэгтэй нил ягаан болон час улаан өнгөөр хувцаслаж, алт, үнэт чулуунууд, сувдаар гоёж, гартаа жигшүүрт зүйлс болон өөрийн садар самууны бузар булайгаар дүүрсэн алтан аяга барьсан байв. Түүний духан дээр, НУУЦ, АГУУ ВАВИЛОН, ЯНХНУУД БА ГАЗРЫН ЖИГШҮҮРҮҮДИЙН ЭХ хэмээх нэр бичээстэй байлаа. Би тэр эмэгтэйг ариун хүмүүсийн цусаар, Есүсийн гэрчүүдийн цусаар согтсон байхыг харлаа. Түүнийг хараад би үлэмж гайхан биширч байв. Илчлэл 17:1–6.

The power that governs Babylon in the last days is the papal church, and she is therefore also the spiritual king of the north.

Maatla a laolang Babilona mehleng ya bofelo ke kereke ya bopapa, mme ka hona le yona ke morena wa leboya wa semoya.

> “The woman (Babylon) of Revelation 17 is described as ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness:…and upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots.’ Says the prophet: ‘I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.’ Babylon is further declared to be ‘that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.’ Revelation 17:4-6, 18. The power that for so many centuries maintained despotic sway over the monarchs of Christendom is Rome. The purple and scarlet color, the gold and precious stones and pearls, vividly picture the magnificence and more than kingly pomp affected by the haughty see of Rome. And no other power could be so truly declared ‘drunken with the blood of the saints’ as that church which has so cruelly persecuted the followers of Christ. Babylon is also charged with the sin of unlawful connection with ‘the kings of the earth.’ It was by departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot; and Rome, corrupting herself in like manner by seeking the support of worldly powers, receives a like condemnation.” The Great Controversy, 382.

> “Wanita (Babel) dalam Wahyu 17 digambarkan sebagai ‘berpakaian ungu dan kain kirmizi, serta berhias emas dan batu-batu permata dan mutiara, memegang di tangannya sebuah cawan emas yang penuh dengan kekejian dan kenajisan: … dan pada dahinya tertulis suatu nama, Rahasia, Babel Besar, ibu dari para pelacur.’ Nabi itu berkata: ‘Aku melihat wanita itu mabuk oleh darah orang-orang kudus, dan oleh darah para martir Yesus.’ Selanjutnya Babel dinyatakan sebagai ‘kota besar itu, yang memerintah atas raja-raja di bumi.’ Wahyu 17:4-6, 18. Kuasa yang selama begitu banyak abad mempertahankan pemerintahan despotik atas para penguasa dunia Kristen ialah Roma. Warna ungu dan kirmizi, emas dan batu-batu permata serta mutiara, dengan jelas melukiskan kemegahan dan keagungan yang melebihi kebesaran raja-raja yang ditampilkan oleh takhta Roma yang congkak itu. Dan tidak ada kuasa lain yang dapat dengan begitu tepat dinyatakan ‘mabuk oleh darah orang-orang kudus’ selain gereja yang telah dengan begitu kejam menganiaya para pengikut Kristus itu. Babel juga dituduh dengan dosa hubungan yang tidak sah dengan ‘raja-raja di bumi.’ Oleh karena menyimpang dari Tuhan, dan bersekutu dengan orang-orang kafir, gereja Yahudi menjadi seorang pelacur; dan Roma, yang merusakkan dirinya dengan cara yang sama, yakni dengan mencari sokongan kuasa-kuasa duniawi, menerima hukuman yang serupa.” The Great Controversy, 382.

The governor is the king, and according to Isaiah, a king is a kingdom and is also the capital city of a kingdom.

Gobara ke kgosi, mme go ya ka Isaia, kgosi ke bogosi e bile gape ke motsemogolo wa bogosi.

> For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.

> Sababtoo mataan Siiriyaa Damaasqodhaa, mataan Damaasqoo immoo Reziin; waggaa jaatamii shanii keessatti Efreem saba akka hin taaneef ni caccaba. Mataan Efreem immoo Samaariyaa, mataan Samaariyaa ilmi Remaaliyaas. Yoo isin amanuu baattan, dhugumaan hin jabaattan. Isaayaas 7:8, 9.

According to the witness of Isaiah, a student of prophecy who awakens in July of 2023 to a prophetic testing process must recognize the prophetic symbolism of the “head” if he wishes to be established. If he doesn’t recognize and apply the symbolism of a “head” when called for, then he is not established. Those who disbelieve are not established, and therefore Isaiah is identifying two classes of worshippers in the last days who either are established or are not established. They are the same two classes who either have the “oil,” or they don’t have the “oil.”

Menurut kesaksian Yesaya, seorang pelajar nubuatan yang terbangun pada bulan Juli 2023 kepada suatu proses pengujian nubuatan harus mengenali perlambangan nubuatan tentang “kepala” jika ia ingin diteguhkan. Jika ia tidak mengenali dan menerapkan perlambangan “kepala” ketika hal itu dituntut, maka ia tidak diteguhkan. Mereka yang tidak percaya tidak diteguhkan, dan oleh sebab itu Yesaya sedang menunjukkan dua golongan penyembah pada hari-hari terakhir yang entah diteguhkan atau tidak diteguhkan. Mereka adalah dua golongan yang sama yang entah memiliki “minyak,” atau tidak memiliki “minyak.”

One class that is established and has oil, receives the message of the Midnight Cry that began to be opened up in July of 2023, or they receive the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians. Their test is the formation of the image of the beast, and the way in which the beast is formed, whether the papal beast of the Dark Ages, or its image that is formed by the United States, or the threefold union that leads the world to Armageddon. This includes the necessity of recognizing that the “head,” the “king” the ruler of the other two powers that make up the threefold union, is the papal power.

Kelas yang ditegakkan dan memiliki minyak menerima pekabaran Seruan Tengah Malam yang mulai disingkapkan pada bulan Juli 2023, atau mereka menerima kesesatan yang kuat dari 2 Tesalonika. Ujian mereka ialah pembentukan patung binatang itu, dan cara bagaimana binatang itu dibentuk, baik binatang kepausan dari Zaman Kegelapan, maupun patungnya yang dibentuk oleh Amerika Serikat, ataupun persatuan rangkap tiga yang menuntun dunia kepada Armagedon. Ini mencakup keharusan untuk mengenali bahwa “kepala,” “raja,” yakni penguasa atas dua kuasa lainnya yang membentuk persatuan rangkap tiga itu, adalah kuasa kepausan.

The “head,” the capital city of Judah was Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose to place His name.

“hloko,” motse-moholo wa Juda, e ne e le Jerusalema, motse wo Morena a o kgethilego go bea leina la Gagwe go wona.

> And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 1 Kings 14:21.

> Dan Rehabeam anak Salomo memerintah di Yehuda. Rehabeam berumur empat puluh satu tahun ketika ia mulai memerintah, dan ia memerintah tujuh belas tahun di Yerusalem, kota yang telah dipilih TUHAN dari segala suku Israel untuk menaruh nama-Nya di sana. Dan nama ibunya ialah Naama, seorang perempuan Amon. 1 Raja-raja 14:21.

In the great controversy between Christ and Satan, Christ’s capital city, where He places His name, is Jerusalem, and Satan’s counterfeit was the literal city of Babylon that represents spiritual Babylon that great city in the last days. Satan places his name upon the head as a counterfeit of God’s city and capitol. The king that resides there is the mother of harlots who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The mother of harlots is the papal power, and her daughters are the fallen Protestant churches, of which the premier fallen apostate church is the apostate Protestants of the United States.

Dalam pertikaian besar antara Kristus dan Setan, kota utama Kristus, tempat Ia menaruh nama-Nya, ialah Yerusalem, dan tiruan palsu Setan ialah kota Babel secara harfiah yang melambangkan Babel rohani, kota besar itu, pada akhir zaman. Setan menaruh namanya pada dahi sebagai tiruan palsu atas kota dan ibu kota Allah. Raja yang berdiam di sana ialah ibu dari perempuan-perempuan sundal yang berzina dengan raja-raja di bumi. Ibu dari perempuan-perempuan sundal itu ialah kuasa kepausan, dan anak-anak perempuannya ialah gereja-gereja Protestan yang telah jatuh, yang di antaranya gereja utama yang telah murtad dan jatuh ialah kaum Protestan murtad di Amerika Serikat.

Those apostate Protestants represent the Protestant horn of the earth beast, and they are connected with their mother since their rejection of the prophetic message that was unsealed in 1798. Their counterpart, the Republican horn, is connected with the kings of the earth through their relationship with the United Nations, the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The threefold union which leads the world to Armageddon is represented by its head, where its name is placed, and spiritual modern Rome is spiritual modern Babylon. Its “head” is the papal power.

Protestan yang murtad itu melambangkan tanduk Protestan dari binatang bumi itu, dan mereka terhubung dengan ibu mereka karena penolakan mereka terhadap pekabaran nubuatan yang telah dimeteraibukakan pada tahun 1798. Padanan mereka, tanduk Republik, terhubung dengan raja-raja di bumi melalui hubungan mereka dengan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, yaitu kesepuluh raja dalam Wahyu pasal tujuh belas. Persatuan rangkap tiga yang menuntun dunia menuju Armagedon dilambangkan oleh kepalanya, tempat namanya diletakkan, dan Roma modern rohani adalah Babel modern rohani. “Kepalanya” adalah kuasa kepausan.

The first represents the last and whether you apply Daniel chapter two as did the Millerites, as representing four kingdoms, or as has been opened up in the last days as representing eight kingdoms, the first kingdom was literal Babylon. The Millerites would inform you the last was literal Rome. Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols, for they are the first and the last of a prophetic line.

Ya mbụ na-anọchi anya nke ikpeazụ, ma ma ị kpọọ Daniel isi nke abụọ n’ọrụ dịka ndị Millerite mere, dị ka nke na-anọchi anya alaeze anọ, ma ọ bụ dịka e meghere ya n’ụbọchị ikpeazụ dị ka nke na-anọchi anya alaeze asatọ, alaeze mbụ ahụ bụ Babilọn nkịtị. Ndị Millerite ga-agwa gị na nke ikpeazụ bụ Rom nkịtị. Babilọn na Rom bụ ihe nnọchianya ndị a pụrụ iji dochie ibe ha, n’ihi na ha bụ ndị mbụ na ndị ikpeazụ n’ahịrị amụma.

In the last days the first kingdom of literal Babylon represents the eighth and last kingdom which is spiritual modern Babylon, and is also spiritual modern Rome. Upon the two witnesses represented in Daniel chapter two Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols.

Ka malemela a bofelo mmušo wa pele wa Babilona ya kgonthe o emela mmušo wa seswai le wa mafelelo, e lego Babilona ya semoya ya mehleng ya sebjalebjale, gomme gape ke Roma ya semoya ya mehleng ya sebjalebjale. Go ya ka dihlatse tše pedi tše di emetšwego go Daniele kgaolo ya bobedi, Babilona le Roma ke maswao ao a šomišwago ka go fapantšhana.

When the papal whore is portrayed with a name on her forehead that identifies “Mystery Babylon,” it is also identifying “mystery Rome.” A prophetic “mystery” represents a truth that is so profound that it is impossible to understand the depth of the truth represented therein, especially without the influence of the Holy Spirit. But a biblical “mystery” also demands that what is revealed in connection with the mystery is a required understanding for those who seek to pass the test. This is why two witnesses in Revelation emphasize the need to understand modern Rome.

Apabila sundal kepausan itu digambarkan dengan suatu nama pada dahinya yang menandakan “Babilon Rahasia”, hal itu juga menandakan “Roma rahasia”. Suatu “rahasia” nubuatan melambangkan suatu kebenaran yang demikian dalam sehingga mustahil untuk memahami kedalaman kebenaran yang dilambangkan di dalamnya, khususnya tanpa pengaruh Roh Kudus. Namun, suatu “rahasia” alkitabiah juga menuntut bahwa apa yang dinyatakan sehubungan dengan rahasia itu merupakan suatu pengertian yang wajib bagi mereka yang berusaha untuk lulus ujian. Inilah sebabnya dua saksi dalam Wahyu menekankan perlunya memahami Roma modern.

> 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 13:18.

> Aha na nyansa wɔ ha. Ma nea ɔwɔ ntease no nkan akyekyɛde no nɔma; efisɛ ɛyɛ onipa bi nɔma; na ne nɔma yɛ ahansia aduosia asia. Adiyisɛm 13:18.

“Wisdom” understands the number of the beast, which is the number of a man whose number is six, six, six. The “man of sin” is the head of the beast. Wisdom is an attribute of the wise virgins in the last days, and it is also a symbol of those who understand the increase of knowledge in the last days. Those who do not understand are foolish virgins and are the wicked. The “wisdom” they do not understand must of prophetic necessity be in the context of the final prophetic test, for this is when the wise and foolish virgins exist. They must understand “six, six, six.” The mind that has wisdom is also located by John in the last days in Revelation chapter seventeen.

“हिकमत” दरिंदे के गिनती के संख्या को समझती है, जो एक आदमी की संख्या है, और उसकी संख्या छह, छह, छह है। “गुनाह का आदमी” दरिंदे का सर है। हिकमत आख़िरी दिनों की दानिशमंद कुँवारियों की एक सिफ़त है, और यह उन लोगों की एक निशानी भी है जो आख़िरी दिनों में इल्म की अफ़ज़ाइश को समझते हैं। जो नहीं समझते, वे नादान कुँवारियाँ हैं और वही शरीर हैं। जिस “हिकमत” को वे नहीं समझते, वह नुबूवती लाज़िमियत के मुताबिक़ अंतिम नुबूवती इम्तिहान के संदर्भ में ही होनी चाहिए, क्योंकि यही वह समय है जब दानिशमंद और नादान कुँवारियाँ मौजूद होती हैं। उन्हें “छह, छह, छह” को समझना चाहिए। जिस ज़ेहन में हिकमत है, उसे यूहन्ना ने मुकाशफ़ा के सत्रहवें बाब में भी आख़िरी दिनों में मुक़र्रर किया है।

> And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 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. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Revelation 17:9–11.

> Dan inilah akal budi yang mengandungi hikmat. Tujuh kepala itu ialah tujuh gunung, yang di atasnya perempuan itu duduk. Dan ada tujuh raja: lima telah gugur, dan satu ada, dan yang seorang lagi belum datang; dan apabila ia datang, ia mesti tinggal seketika sahaja. Dan binatang yang dahulu ada, dan sekarang tidak ada, bahkan dialah yang kelapan, dan berasal daripada yang tujuh itu, dan ia pergi kepada kebinasaan. Wahyu 17:9–11.

The “mind” that has the wisdom to understand the number “six, six, six,” is a wise virgin who has obtained the “mind of Christ.”

“Lutlu” lu luyutlûng angkâng hlêretna chu “paruk, paruk, paruk” tih nambâr hi hriatthiam theihna nei, “Krista rilru” changa dawng tawh fimnungnu a ni.

> For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.

> Hobi Isolni kim tanibdi, unga yo‘l ko‘rsatsin? Lekin bizda Masihning aqli bordir. 1 Korinfliklarga 2:16.

The class of wise virgins have the mind of Christ, and the foolish wicked virgins have the mind of Christ’s adversary.

Sehlopha sa barwetsana ba bohlale se na le monagano wa Kriste, gomme barwetsana ba mašilo ba ba kgopo ba na le monagano wa lenaba la Kriste.

> “The time has come for the true light to shine amid moral darkness. The third angel’s message has been sent forth to the world, warning men against receiving the mark of the beast or of his image in their foreheads or in their hands. To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.

> “Waktunya telah tiba bagi terang yang sejati untuk bercahaya di tengah kegelapan moral. Pekabaran malaikat yang ketiga telah disampaikan ke seluruh dunia, memperingatkan manusia agar jangan menerima tanda binatang itu atau patungnya pada dahi mereka atau pada tangan mereka. Menerima tanda ini berarti mengambil keputusan yang sama seperti yang telah diambil oleh binatang itu, dan menganjurkan gagasan-gagasan yang sama, dalam pertentangan langsung dengan firman Allah.” Review and Herald, 13 Juli 1897.

The formation of the image of the beast is the final test for the virgins of the parable, and the wise have the mind of Christ, for they have come to the same decision as Christ, for they have submitted their wills unto the Holy Spirit’s direction. The formation of the image of Christ in the wise virgins contrasts with the formation of the image of the beast in the foolish virgins. The foolish virgins come to the same decision as the beast, for they became confused upon the test question concerning the correct identification of the antichrist, who is the counterfeit king of the north and the head of modern Rome.

Kutingwa ka kheto ya sebata ke teko ya bofelo ya dikgarebe tsa setshwantsho, mme ba ba botlhale ba na le mogopolo wa ga Keresete, gonne ba fitlhile kwa tshwetsong e e tshwanang le ya ga Keresete, ka gonne ba neetse thato ya bona mo kaelong ya Mowa o o Boitshepo. Kutingwa ka setshwantsho sa ga Keresete mo dikgarebeng tse di botlhale go farologane le kutingwa ka setshwantsho sa sebata mo dikgarebeng tse di dieleele. Dikgarebe tse di dieleele di fitlha kwa tshwetsong e e tshwanang le ya sebata, gonne di ne tsa tlhakatlhakana mo potsong ya teko e e mabapi le go supiwa sentle ga moganetsi wa ga Keresete, yo e leng kgosi ya bokone ya maitirelo le tlhogo ya Roma ya segompieno.

> “Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.

> “Mong ba hi kiba kulmar ha ka jingsngewthuh jong ki ia ka Ktien, kiba leh bakla ban iohi ia ka jingmut jong u antichrist, da shisha kin buh ia lade ha ka liang jong u antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.

The foolish virgins in the testing time that is represented as the formation of the image of the beast become confused in their understanding of the Word. Their confusion is premised upon misunderstanding God’s prophetic Word, and failing to see the correct meaning of Modern Rome, they receive strong delusion, come to the same decision as the beast, and advocate the same papal ideas in direct opposition to the Word of God, and place themselves on the side of antichrist.

Virgins bodoh dalam masa ujian yang digambarkan sebagai pembentukan patung binatang itu menjadi bingung dalam pemahaman mereka akan Firman. Kebingungan mereka berasaskan kesalahfahaman terhadap Firman nubuatan Tuhan, dan kerana gagal melihat makna yang tepat tentang Roma Moden, mereka menerima kesesatan yang kuat, sampai kepada keputusan yang sama seperti binatang itu, dan memperjuangkan gagasan kepausan yang sama dalam pertentangan langsung dengan Firman Tuhan, lalu menempatkan diri mereka di pihak antikristus.
