The book The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, was written by Malachi Martin, and it was first published in 1990. Martin examines the role of Pope John Paul II as a transformative figure in global politics and diplomacy during the latter half of the 20th century. He discusses the Pope’s role in the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. The book presents a Catholic perspective of the dynamics that brought about the fulfillment of verse forty of Daniel eleven, at the time of the end in 1989.

Buku *The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West* telah ditulis oleh Malachi Martin, dan pertama kali diterbitkan pada tahun 1990. Martin meneliti peranan Paus Yohanes Paulus II sebagai suatu tokoh yang membawa perubahan besar dalam politik dan diplomasi global pada separuh akhir abad ke-20. Beliau membincangkan peranan Paus itu dalam keruntuhan Komunisme di Eropah Timur. Buku itu mengemukakan suatu perspektif Katolik tentang dinamika yang telah membawa kepada penggenapan ayat empat puluh dalam Daniel sebelas, pada waktu kesudahan pada tahun 1989.

Martin analyzes the internal dynamics of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, particularly focusing on Gorbachev’s policies of “glasnost” (openness) and “perestroika” (restructuring). He discusses the challenges facing the Soviet Union and Gorbachev’s attempts to reform the Communist system. He explores the geopolitical tensions and power struggles between the Soviet Union (the king of the south—the dragon), the Catholic Church (the king of the north—the beast), and what he calls the capitalist West (the king of the north’s proxy army—the false prophet). He discusses the ideological conflicts, espionage, and covert operations that characterized the Cold War era and examines the efforts of various actors to shape the future of the world.

Martin menganalisis dinamika dalaman Kesatuan Soviet di bawah kepimpinan Mikhail Gorbachev, dengan tumpuan khusus pada dasar Gorbachev tentang “glasnost” (keterbukaan) dan “perestroika” (penstrukturan semula). Beliau membincangkan cabaran-cabaran yang dihadapi oleh Kesatuan Soviet serta usaha-usaha Gorbachev untuk memperbaharui sistem Komunis. Beliau meneliti ketegangan geopolitik dan perebutan kuasa antara Kesatuan Soviet (raja selatan—naga), Gereja Katolik (raja utara—binatang), dan apa yang beliau sebut sebagai Barat kapitalis (tentera proksi raja utara—nabi palsu). Beliau membincangkan konflik ideologi, pengintipan, dan operasi-operasi sulit yang mencirikan era Perang Dingin serta meneliti usaha pelbagai pihak untuk membentuk masa depan dunia.

Martin emphasizes the significance of Catholicism as a force in global politics and diplomacy. He argues that the Catholic Church, under the leadership of Pope John Paul II, played a pivotal role in shaping the course of history during this period and influencing the outcome of the Cold War. He places John Pauls’ influence in the context of the Marian apparitions at Fatima, Portugal, and identifies the influence of Fatima upon global events and the Catholic Church’s role in shaping the course of history. Martin suggests that the events at Fatima hold significant prophetic and geopolitical implications, particularly in the context of the Cold War era.

Martin menekankan pentingnya Katolikisme sebagai suatu kekuatan dalam politik dan diplomasi global. Ia berpendapat bahwa Gereja Katolik, di bawah kepemimpinan Paus Yohanes Paulus II, memainkan peranan yang sangat penting dalam membentuk arah sejarah selama periode ini dan memengaruhi hasil Perang Dingin. Ia menempatkan pengaruh Yohanes Paulus dalam konteks penampakan-penampakan Maria di Fatima, Portugal, dan mengidentifikasi pengaruh Fatima atas peristiwa-peristiwa global serta peran Gereja Katolik dalam membentuk jalannya sejarah. Martin mengemukakan bahwa peristiwa-peristiwa di Fatima mengandung implikasi profetis dan geopolitik yang penting, khususnya dalam konteks era Perang Dingin.

Martin explores the three secrets of Fatima, which were allegedly revealed by the Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in Fatima in 1917. He suggests that the third secret, which was initially kept secret by the Vatican and only revealed in 2000, contained apocalyptic warnings about the future of the Catholic Church and the world. Martin argues that the events at Fatima, including the apparitions and the messages conveyed by the Virgin Mary, had significant implications for global politics and the struggle between communism and capitalism during the Cold War era.

Martin mengupas tiga rahsia Fatima, yang didakwa telah diwahyukan oleh Perawan Maria kepada tiga orang kanak-kanak gembala muda di Fatima pada tahun 1917. Beliau mencadangkan bahawa rahsia ketiga, yang pada mulanya dirahsiakan oleh Vatican dan hanya didedahkan pada tahun 2000, mengandungi amaran-amaran apokaliptik tentang masa depan Gereja Katolik dan dunia. Martin berhujah bahawa peristiwa-peristiwa di Fatima, termasuk penampakan-penampakan dan pesan-pesan yang disampaikan oleh Perawan Maria, mempunyai implikasi yang besar terhadap politik global serta pergumulan antara komunisme dan kapitalisme pada era Perang Dingin.

Martin highlights the role of Pope John Paul II as a key figure in the fulfillment of the prophecies of Fatima. He suggests that John Paul II saw himself as the “bishop in white” mentioned in the third secret of Fatima and that he viewed his papacy as a mission to confront the forces of evil and promote spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church and society at large.

Martin i hatlhlak a hrilfiah Pope John Paul II chu Fatima hrilhlâwkna famkimte tihlawhtlinnaah mi pawimawh tak a nih dân. A sawi angin, John Paul II chuan amah chu Fatima thuruk pathumnaa sawi “bishop in white” chu a ni tih a ngaih a, a pope nihna chu sual thiltihtheihna hmachhawn tur leh Kohhran Katholik chhûng leh khawtlang zau zawkah thlarau lam tihtharna a lo thlen theih nân rawngbâwlna a ni tih a hmuh a ni.

Martin suggests that the messages of Fatima emphasized the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for the Catholic Church to confront the forces of evil, both within and outside the Church. He argues that the events at Fatima provided a spiritual and moral framework for understanding and addressing the challenges facing humanity in the modern world. The Fatima messages represent the satanic message which conditions Catholicism to accept Satan as Christ, when he “personates” Christ at the soon coming Sunday law.

मार्टिनले सुझाव दिन्छन् कि फातिमाका सन्देशहरूले आत्मिक युद्धको महत्त्व तथा क्याथोलिक चर्चले चर्चभित्र र चर्चबाहिर दुवै रहेका दुष्ट शक्तिहरूको सामना गर्नुपर्ने आवश्यकतालाई जोड दिएका थिए। उनी तर्क गर्छन् कि फातिमामा भएका घटनाहरूले आधुनिक संसारमा मानवताले सामना गरिरहेका चुनौतीहरूलाई बुझ्न र तिनको सामना गर्नका निम्ति एक आत्मिक र नैतिक ढाँचा प्रदान गरे। फातिमाका सन्देशहरूले त्यस्तो शैतानी सन्देशलाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छन् जसले क्याथोलिक धर्मलाई निकट भविष्यमै आउने आइतबारको व्यवस्थाको समयमा, जब उसले ख्रीष्टको “रूप धारण” गर्नेछ, शैतानलाई ख्रीष्टको रूपमा स्वीकार गर्न शर्तबद्ध बनाउँछ।

> “Satan will work miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.

> “Setan akan mengadakan mukjizat-mukjizat untuk menipu mereka yang diam di atas bumi. Spiritisme akan melakukan pekerjaannya dengan menyebabkan orang-orang mati dipersamakan kehadirannya. Badan-badan keagamaan yang menolak untuk mendengarkan pekabaran-pekaran peringatan Allah akan berada di bawah penyesatan yang kuat, dan akan bersatu dengan kuasa sipil untuk menganiaya orang-orang kudus. Gereja-gereja Protestan akan bersatu dengan kuasa kepausan dalam menganiaya umat Allah yang memelihara perintah-perintah-Nya. Inilah kuasa yang membentuk sistem besar penganiayaan yang akan menjalankan tirani rohani atas hati nurani manusia.”

> “‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.

> “‘Ia mempunyai dua tanduk seperti anak domba, dan ia berbicara seperti seekor naga.’ Meskipun mengaku sebagai pengikut Anak Domba Allah, manusia menjadi dijiwai oleh roh naga itu. Mereka mengaku lemah lembut dan rendah hati, tetapi mereka berbicara dan menetapkan hukum dengan roh Setan, dengan menunjukkan melalui tindakan-tindakan mereka bahwa mereka adalah kebalikan dari apa yang mereka akui. Kuasa yang seperti anak domba ini bersatu dengan naga dalam mengadakan perang melawan mereka yang menuruti perintah-perintah Allah dan memiliki kesaksian Yesus Kristus. Dan Setan bersatu dengan orang-orang Protestan dan kaum kepausan, bertindak seia sekata dengan mereka sebagai ilah dunia ini, mendiktekan kepada manusia seolah-olah mereka adalah rakyat kerajaannya, untuk diperlakukan, diperintah, dan dikendalikan menurut kehendaknya.

> “If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘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’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘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’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

> “Эгер адамдар Кудайдын осуяттарын тебелеп-тепсөөгө макул болбосо, ажыдаардын руху ачылып көрүнөт. Алар түрмөгө камалат, кеңештердин алдына алынып келет жана айыпка жыгылат. ‘Ал улууга да, кичүүгө да, байга да, жакырга да, эркинге да, кулга да, баарына оң колуна же чекесине белги кабыл алдырууга мажбур кылат’ [Аян 13:16]. ‘Ал жырткычтын сөлөкөтүнө жан берүүгө бийлик алды, ошондо жырткычтын сөлөкөтү сүйлөп, жырткычтын сөлөкөтүнө табынбаган ар кимди өлтүртмөк’ [15-аят]. Ошентип, Шайтан Жахабанын энчилүү укуктарын өзүнө ыйгарып алат. Күнөөнүн адамы Кудайдын ордуна отуруп, өзүн Кудаймын деп жарыялап, Кудайдан жогору иш кылат.” Manuscript Releases, 14-том, 162.

Antichrist is a symbol of both the pope of Rome, and Satan, for the pope of Rome is Satan’s earthly representative. “Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Satan intends to so control the world when he takes control that he will dictate “to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.” In order to have a religious throne to rule from He created the Catholic Church, and in order to have a political throne to rule from he created the United Nations.

Antikristus adalah lambang bagi paus di Roma dan juga bagi Setan, karena paus di Roma ialah wakil Setan di bumi. “Demikianlah Setan merampas hak-hak istimewa Yehova. Manusia durhaka itu duduk di takhta Allah, memproklamasikan dirinya sebagai Allah, dan bertindak di atas Allah.” Setan bermaksud menguasai dunia sedemikian rupa ketika ia mengambil kendali sehingga ia akan menentukan “bagi manusia seolah-olah mereka adalah rakyat kerajaannya, untuk diperlakukan dan diperintah dan dikendalikan menurut kehendaknya.” Untuk mempunyai takhta keagamaan sebagai tempat ia memerintah, ia mendirikan Gereja Katolik, dan untuk mempunyai takhta politik sebagai tempat ia memerintah, ia mendirikan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa.

> “This compromise between paganism and Christianity resulted in the development of ‘the man of sin’ foretold in prophecy as opposing and exalting himself above God. That gigantic system of false religion is a masterpiece of Satan’s power—a monument of his efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule the earth according to his will.” The Great Controversy, 50.

> “Ho sekisetsa hona pakeng tsa bohetene le Bokreste ho ile ha fella ka ho hlaha ha ‘motho eo oa sebe’ ea boletsoeng pele boprofeteng e le ea hanyetsang le ea iphahamisang ka holimo ho Molimo. Tsamaiso eo e khōlōhali ea bolumeli ba bohata ke mosebetsi o hlollang oa matla a Satane—seemahale sa boiteko ba hae ba ho ipea teroneng hore a buse lefatše ho ea ka thato ea hae.” The Great Controversy, 50.

The miracle of Fatima, and its satanic prophecy is what Satan has employed to prepare a prophetic setting that allows Catholicism to quickly surrender their church into His control, when he appears, and personates Christ. His personation of Christ begins at the soon coming Sunday law, represented in verse sixteen, verse twenty-two, verse thirty-one and verse forty-one of Daniel chapter eleven.

Mukjizat Fatima, dan nubuatan satanisnya, adalah apa yang telah Iblis gunakan untuk mempersiapkan suatu latar kenabian yang memungkinkan Katolik dengan segera menyerahkan gereja mereka ke bawah kendalinya, ketika ia menampakkan diri dan menyamar sebagai Kristus. Penyamarannya sebagai Kristus dimulai pada undang-undang hari Minggu yang segera akan datang, yang dilambangkan dalam ayat enam belas, ayat dua puluh dua, ayat tiga puluh satu, dan ayat empat puluh satu dari Daniel pasal sebelas.

> “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 molao o qobellang ho thehoa ha Bopapa ka tlōlo ea molao oa Molimo, sechaba sa rōna se tla ikarola ka botlalo ho lokeng. Ha Boprotestanta bo tla otlolla letsoho la bona ka mose ho lekhalo ho tšoara letsoho la matla a Roma, ha bo tla nanabela ka mose ho mohohlo ho tšoarana ka matsoho le Baspiritualism, ha, tlas’a tšusumetso ea kopano ena e meraro, naha ea rōna e tla latola molao-motheo o mong le o mong oa Molaotheo oa eona e le ’muso oa Boprotestanta le oa repaboliki, ’me e tla etsa tokisetso bakeng sa ho phatlalatsoa ha mashano le lithetso tsa bopapa, joale re ka tseba hore nako e fihlile bakeng sa tšebetso e hlollang ea Satane le hore bofelo bo haufi.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

At the Sunday law in the United States, the “time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” In Revelation chapter thirteen, verse eleven, the United States “speaks” as a dragon, and then in verse thirteen, which is simply identifying what happens when the United States “speaks,” by passing the Sunday law, Satan appears to call fire down out of heaven.

Pada undang-undang hari Minggu di Amerika Syarikat, “masanya telah tiba bagi pekerjaan ajaib Iblis.” Dalam Wahyu fasal tiga belas, ayat sebelas, Amerika Syarikat “berkata-kata” seperti seekor naga, dan kemudian dalam ayat tiga belas, yang semata-mata mengenal pasti apa yang berlaku apabila Amerika Syarikat “berkata-kata,” dengan meluluskan undang-undang hari Minggu, Iblis kelihatan memanggil api turun dari langit.

> “Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

> “Bakoši ba Modimo, ka difahlego tša bona di phadima e bile di benya ka boikgethelo bjo bokgethwa, ba tla akgofa go tloga lefelong le lengwe go ya go le lengwe go tsebatša molaetša o tšwago legodimong.

Ka tsela ye badudi ba lefase ba tla tlišwa gore ba tšee lehlakore la bona.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

The messages of Fatima were confirmed by a miracle that was testified to by the atheistic government newspapers that attended the event in order to refute the claims that had been made about the so-called Virgin Mary visiting the three children on the thirteenth day of the month from May until the miracle on October 13, 1917. Every atheistic news organization that was at Fatima at the time of the miracle confirmed the event. It was a genuine miracle (of Satan).

Melaetsa ya Fatima e netefaditswe ke mohlolo oo o ileng wa pakelwa le ke dikuranta tsa puso tse neng di sa dumele gore Modimo o teng, tse di neng tsa nna teng kwa tiragalong eo ka maikaelelo a go ganetsa ditatofatso tse di neng di dirilwe mabapi le yo go tweng ke Mmaagwe Maria a etela bana ba bararo ka letsatsi la bolesome le boraro la kgwedi, go simolola ka Motsheganong go fitlha kwa mohlolong wa October 13, 1917.

E ne e le mohlolo wa nnete (wa ga Satane).

As Malachi Martin identified in his book, Pope John Paul was guided by his devotion to Mary of Fatima. The secret prophecy of Fatima, that was not revealed until the year 2000, was of course a satanic prophecy, but in the last days Jesus repeats the first days. The oldest book in the Bible, the first book that Moses wrote is the book of Job, and it identifies that Job, who represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for all the prophecies are fulfilled most perfectly in the last days. Satan, in the story of Job, is allowed to bring death and destruction upon Job, for the purpose of testing Job. The miracles that Satan is allowed to accomplish in the last days, are genuine miracles. They are satanic miracles, but God has allowed Satan to accomplish his crowning act, for the same purpose that he allowed Satan to test Job.

Seperti yang dikenal pasti oleh Malachi Martin dalam bukunya, Paus John Paul dipimpin oleh devosinya kepada Maria dari Fatima. Nubuat rahsia Fatima, yang tidak dinyatakan sehingga tahun 2000, sememangnya merupakan suatu nubuat satanik, tetapi pada akhir zaman Yesus mengulangi hari-hari yang pertama. Kitab yang paling tua dalam Alkitab, kitab pertama yang ditulis oleh Musa ialah kitab Ayub, dan kitab itu mengenal pasti bahawa Ayub, yang melambangkan seratus empat puluh empat ribu orang, kerana segala nubuat digenapi dengan paling sempurna pada akhir zaman. Iblis, dalam kisah Ayub, diizinkan untuk mendatangkan maut dan kebinasaan ke atas Ayub, dengan tujuan untuk menguji Ayub. Mukjizat-mukjizat yang diizinkan kepada Iblis untuk dilaksanakan pada akhir zaman ialah mukjizat-mukjizat yang sejati. Mukjizat-mukjizat itu ialah mukjizat satanik, tetapi Allah telah mengizinkan Iblis melaksanakan tindakan kemuncaknya, untuk tujuan yang sama seperti Dia mengizinkan Iblis menguji Ayub.

> “Many endeavor to account for spiritual manifestations by attributing them wholly to fraud and sleight of hand on the part of the medium. But while it is true that the results of trickery have often been palmed off as genuine manifestations, there have been, also, marked exhibitions of supernatural power. The mysterious rapping with which modern spiritualism began was not the result of human trickery or cunning, but was the direct work of evil angels, who thus introduced one of the most successful of soul-destroying delusions. Many will be ensnared through the belief that spiritualism is a merely human imposture; when brought face to face with manifestations which they cannot but regard as supernatural, they will be deceived, and will be led to accept them as the great power of God.

> “These persons overlook the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the wonders wrought by Satan and his agents. It was by satanic aid that Pharaoh’s magicians were enabled to counterfeit the work of God. Paul testifies that before the second advent of Christ there will be similar manifestations of satanic power. The coming of the Lord is to be preceded by ‘the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10. And the apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days, declares: ‘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.’ Revelation 13:13, 14. No mere impostures are here foretold. Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do.” The Great Controversy, 553.

The messages of Fatima in Malachi Martin’s book are represented as the prophetic structure of Catholicism in the last days, in relation to an internal struggle within the church, that can be represented as either the good pope versus the bad pope, or the conservative pope versus the liberal pope. The conservative, and according to Martin’s reading of the miracle, the good pope, bases his understanding upon the First Vatican Council, also known as Vatican I, which took place from December 8, 1869 to July 20, 1870, convened by Pope Pius IX and primarily focused on defining the dogma of papal infallibility and addressing various theological and doctrinal issues facing the Catholic Church at the time. The Second Vatican Council, commonly known as Vatican II, was held much later, from October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965. It was convened by Pope John XXIII and continued by Pope Paul VI after John XXIII’s death.

Mesej-mesej Fatima dalam buku Malachi Martin dikemukakan sebagai struktur kenabian Katolikisme pada akhir zaman, berhubung dengan suatu pergumulan dalaman dalam gereja, yang dapat diwakili sama ada sebagai paus yang baik menentang paus yang jahat, atau paus konservatif menentang paus liberal. Paus konservatif itu, dan menurut pembacaan Martin terhadap mukjizat tersebut, paus yang baik itu, mendasarkan pemahamannya pada Konsili Vatikan Pertama, yang juga dikenali sebagai Vatican I, yang berlangsung dari 8 Disember 1869 hingga 20 Julai 1870, dipanggil bersidang oleh Paus Pius IX dan terutamanya tertumpu pada penetapan dogma ketidakmungkinan sesat paus serta menangani pelbagai isu teologi dan doktrin yang dihadapi oleh Gereja Katolik pada waktu itu. Konsili Vatikan Kedua, yang lazimnya dikenali sebagai Vatican II, diadakan jauh kemudian, dari 11 Oktober 1962 hingga 8 Disember 1965. Konsili itu dipanggil bersidang oleh Paus Yohanes XXIII dan diteruskan oleh Paus Paulus VI selepas kematian Yohanes XXIII.

The last days of Catholicism, as Martin expressed it, identifies the struggle between the infallibility and primacy of the church of Rome as set forth in Vatican I, versus the liberalism that is currently on display by Francis the woke-pope, and represented in the documents of Vatican II. Martin suggests that within the struggle for these two approaches of controlling the church, the third world war breaks out, and Jesus returns, comes down to earth and places his blessing upon the good pope and takes the throne of the Catholic church.

末世のカトリシズムは、マーティンが述べたところによれば、ヴァチカン第一公会議において定式化されたローマ教会の不可謬性と首位権と、フランシスコという「目覚めた教皇」によって現在示され、かつヴァチカン第二公会議の文書に表されている自由主義との間の闘争を指し示している。マーティンは、教会を支配するこの二つの方途をめぐる闘争のただ中で第三次世界大戦が勃発し、イエスが再臨して地に降り、善き教皇の上にその祝福を置き、カトリック教会の玉座を取られるのだと示唆している。

In verses thirteen through fifteen, of Daniel eleven, the history that immediately precedes the Sunday law of verse sixteen, describes the third and final battle of the proxy wars. It is the battle that follows Putin’s victory in verses eleven and twelve, but in the middle of those three verses, verse fourteen identifies when Catholicism enters into the history of the last days.

Dalam ayat tiga belas hingga lima belas dari Daniel sebelas, sejarah yang segera mendahului undang-undang Ahad dalam ayat enam belas menggambarkan pertempuran ketiga dan terakhir dalam peperangan proksi. Itulah pertempuran yang menyusul kemenangan Putin dalam ayat sebelas dan dua belas, tetapi di tengah-tengah ketiga ayat itu, ayat empat belas mengenal pasti saat Katolik memasuki sejarah akhir zaman.

According to Isaiah the whore of Rome is forgotten during the symbolic seventy-year reign of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The first time the papacy was enthroned upon the earth in 538, the waymark that preceded her enthronement was the decree of Justinian in 533.

Ho latela Esaia, seotswa sa Roma se lebetswe nakong ya puso ya dilemo tse mashome a supileng ya seswantshiso ya mmuso wa botshelela wa boporofeta ba Bibele. Lekgetlo la pele ha bopapa bo bewa teroneng lefatsheng ka 538, letshwao la tsela le ileng la etella pele ho bewa ha bona teroneng e ne e le taelo ya Justinian ka 533.

The history surrounding Justinian’s decree identifies that Justinian sought to consolidate his control over his kingdom by bringing an end to the religious argument that had been causing turmoil in the kingdom. That argument was whether the church in Constantinople in the east, or the church in Rome in the west was the head of the so-called Christian church. In verse thirteen, the last president of the United States will be confronted with a controversy that forces him to parallel the history of Justinian, and declare that the Catholic church is the head of the churches, and the corrector of heretics, in order to establish the necessary political support to consolidate his power.

Sejarah yang mengelilingi dekri Justinianus menunjukkan bahawa Justinianus berusaha untuk menyatukan penguasaannya atas kerajaannya dengan menamatkan pertikaian agama yang telah menimbulkan kekacauan dalam kerajaan itu. Pertikaian itu ialah sama ada gereja di Konstantinopel di sebelah timur, atau gereja di Roma di sebelah barat, merupakan kepala bagi apa yang disebut gereja Kristian. Dalam ayat tiga belas, presiden terakhir Amerika Syarikat akan berhadapan dengan suatu kontroversi yang memaksanya meneladani sejarah Justinianus, lalu mengisytiharkan bahawa Gereja Katolik ialah kepala bagi gereja-gereja, dan pembetul para bidat, demi mewujudkan sokongan politik yang diperlukan untuk memantapkan kuasanya.

We should not place any confidence in the satanic predictions of Fatima, but we are required to see what is revealed in God’s Word. In the beginning of the twentieth century both horns of the earth beast entered into their third generation, which is the generation of compromise. The Republican horn surrendered its financial system to the world bankers, which trace their origins back to the house of the Red Shield, the Rothschilds, and its mysterious connection with the Illuminati, Freemasonry, secret societies and the Jesuit order. Sister White directly warns of these entities. During the same period of time Laodicean Adventism, as the Protestant horn, surrendered its educational and religious institutions to the governing of the world.

Kita tidak seharusnya menaruh kepercayaan apa pun pada nubuat-nubuat satanis dari Fatima, tetapi kita wajib melihat apa yang dinyatakan dalam Firman Allah. Pada permulaan abad kedua puluh, kedua tanduk dari binatang bumi itu telah memasuki generasi ketiga mereka, yaitu generasi kompromi. Tanduk Republik menyerahkan sistem keuangannya kepada para bankir dunia, yang menelusuri asal-usul mereka kembali kepada wangsa Perisai Merah, yakni keluarga Rothschild, serta hubungannya yang misterius dengan Illuminati, Freemasonry, perkumpulan-perkumpulan rahasia, dan tarekat Yesuit. Sister White secara langsung memperingatkan mengenai entitas-entitas ini. Dalam kurun waktu yang sama, Adventisme Laodikia, sebagai tanduk Protestan, menyerahkan lembaga-lembaga pendidikan dan keagamaannya kepada pemerintahan dunia.

In that very time period, the modern king of the south begins its history with the Russian Revolution, and the modern king of the north begins its history with the miracle of Fatima. As Malachi Martin emphasizes in his book, beyond the internal struggle of the good and bad pope, the Fatima messages identified the struggle of Catholicism against atheism in general, but more specifically against the atheism of Russia. The secret that the pope in 1917 was to act upon contained the (satanic) promise, that if the pope would call a conclave and dedicate Russia to the Virgin Mary, then there would not be a second world war. It also identified that if the pope refused Russia would spread its philosophy far and wide and there would then be another world war.

Ka nakong eo haholo, kgosi ya borwa ya mehleng ena e qala nalane ya yona ka Phetohelo ya Russia, mme kgosi ya leboya ya mehleng ena e qala nalane ya yona ka mohlolo wa Fatima. Jwalokaha Malachi Martin a totobatsa bukeng ya hae, ka nqane ho ntwa ya kahare ya mopapa ya lokileng le ya mobe, melaetsa ya Fatima e ile ya supa ntwa ya Bokatholike kgahlanong le ho se dumele hore Modimo o teng ka kakaretso, empa haholoholo kgahlanong le ho se dumele hoo ha Russia. Sephiri seo mopapa ka 1917 a neng a tshwanetse ho nka kgato ka sona se ne se na le tshepiso ya (satane), ya hore haeba mopapa a ne a ka bitsa conclave mme a neele Russia ho Moroetsana Maria, ho ne ho ke ke ha eba le ntwa ya bobedi ya lefatshe. Hape se ile sa bontsha hore haeba mopapa a hana, Russia e ne e tla hasa filosofi ya yona hole le bophara, mme ka mora moo ho ne ho tla ba le ntwa e nngwe ya lefatshe.

The second world war included the war of Catholicism against the Communism of Russia. Catholicism’s proxy army in that war was Nazi Germany. The papacy always employs proxy armies. In 1933 the Catholic church, through the work of Cardinal Pacelli, signed a concordat with Adolph Hitler that allowed Hitler to take control of Germany, and by Hitler’s own testimony, that contract (concordat), was what allowed Hitler to solve the Jewish question. The Nazi’s were the papacy’s proxy against atheistic Russia in World War II, and in the second battle of the proxy wars, now being accomplished in the Ukraine, it is being carried out by another Nazi proxy army.

Ntwa ya bobedi ya lefatshe e ne e akaretsa ntwa ya Bokatholiki kgatlhanong le Bokomonisi jwa Russia. Mophato wa sesole sa boemedi sa Bokatholiki mo ntweng eo e ne e le Jeremane ya Banasi. Bopapa bo ka metlha bo dirisa mephato ya sesole sa boemedi. Ka 1933 kereke ya Katholiki, ka tiro ya Kardinale Pacelli, e ne ya saena tumalano le Adolph Hitler e e neng ya letla Hitler go tsaya taolo ya Jeremane, mme go ya ka bosupi jwa ga Hitler ka boene, konteraka eo (concordat) e ne e le yone e e neng ya letla Hitler go rarabolola potso ya Bajuta.

> “Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.

> “Ka ntlha ya diphoso tse pedi tse dikgolo, go sa swe ga moya le boitshepo jwa Sontaga, Satane o tla tlisa batho mo tlase ga dithetsa tsa gagwe. Fa ya ntlha e baya motheo wa semoya, ya bobedi yone e dira kgolagano ya kutlwano le Roma. Boprotestante ba United States e tla nna bone ba ntlha mo go otlololeng diatla tsa bone go kgabaganya kgogometso go tshwara seatla sa semoya; ba tla kgabaganya molete go tshwaragana ka diatla le thata ya Roma; mme ka fa tlase ga tlhotlheletso ya kopano eno ya gararo, naga eno e tla sala morago dikgato tsa Roma mo go gatakeng ditshwanelo tsa segakolodi.”

> “As spiritualism more closely imitates the nominal Christianity of the day, it has greater power to deceive and ensnare. Satan himself is converted, after the modern order of things. He will appear in the character of an angel of light. Through the agency of spiritualism, miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and many undeniable wonders will be performed. And as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible, and manifest respect for the institutions of the church, their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power.

> “Selagi spiritualisme semakin hampir meniru agama Kristian nominal pada zaman ini, ia mempunyai kuasa yang lebih besar untuk menipu dan memerangkap. Syaitan sendiri telah bertobat, menurut tertib moden segala sesuatu. Dia akan tampil dalam watak seorang malaikat terang. Melalui perantaraan spiritualisme, mukjizat-mukjizat akan dilakukan, orang sakit akan disembuhkan, dan banyak keajaiban yang tidak dapat disangkal akan dilaksanakan. Dan oleh sebab roh-roh itu akan mengaku iman kepada Alkitab, serta menyatakan penghormatan terhadap institusi-institusi gereja, pekerjaan mereka akan diterima sebagai suatu pernyataan kuasa ilahi.

> “The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.

> “Batas ng pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng mga nag-aangking Kristiyano at ng mga hindi makadiyos ay halos hindi na ngayon matukoy. Iniibig ng mga kaanib ng iglesya ang iniibig ng sanlibutan at handa silang makiisa rito, at ipinasiya ni Satanas na pag-isahin sila sa iisang katawan at sa gayon ay palakasin ang kaniyang layunin sa pamamagitan ng pagwawalis sa lahat papasok sa hanay ng espiritismo. Ang mga Papista, na nagmamalaki sa mga himala bilang tiyak na tanda ng tunay na iglesya, ay madaling madadaya ng kapangyarihang ito na gumagawa ng mga kababalaghan; at ang mga Protestante, yamang itinakwil nila ang pananggalang ng katotohanan, ay malilinlang din. Ang mga Papista, mga Protestante, at mga makamundo ay magkakaparehong tatanggap sa anyo ng kabanalan na walang kapangyarihan, at makikita nila sa pagkakaisang ito ang isang dakilang kilusan para sa pagkahikayat ng sanlibutan at sa pagpapasimula ng malaon nang inaasahang milenyo.

> “Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin. Intemperance dethrones reason; sensual indulgence, strife, and bloodshed follow. Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.

> “Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.” The Great Controversy, 588, 589.

> “सैतान अप्रस्तुत प्राणहरूको आफ्नो कटनी बटुल्न तत्त्वहरूद्वारा पनि काम गर्दछ। उसले प्रकृतिका प्रयोगशालाहरूका रहस्यहरू अध्ययन गरेको छ, र परमेश्वरले जति अनुमति दिनुहुन्छ, त्यति हदसम्म तत्त्वहरूलाई नियन्त्रण गर्न उसले आफ्नो सबै शक्ति प्रयोग गर्दछ। जब उसलाई अय्यूबलाई पीडा दिन अनुमति दिइयो, तब कति चाँडै बथानहरू र गाईवस्तु, सेवकहरू, घरहरू, बालबच्चाहरू—एक पछि अर्को विपत्ति, मानौँ एकै क्षणमा—नष्ट पारिए। आफ्ना सृष्टिहरूलाई ढालझैँ जोगाउने र विनाशकर्ताको शक्तिबाट तिनीहरूलाई घेरेर सुरक्षित राख्ने परमेश्वर नै हुनुहुन्छ। तर ख्रीष्टियन संसारले यहोवाको व्यवस्थाप्रति तिरस्कार प्रकट गरेको छ; र प्रभुले ठ्याक्कै त्यही गर्नुहुनेछ, जसको उहाँले घोषणा गर्नुभएको थियो—उहाँले पृथ्वीबाट आफ्ना आशिषहरू फिर्ता लिनुहुनेछ र उहाँको व्यवस्था र शिक्षाको विरुद्ध विद्रोह गरिरहेका तथा अरूहरूलाई पनि त्यसै गर्न बाध्य पारिरहेकाहरूबाट आफ्नो संरक्षणकारी हेरचाह हटाउनुहुनेछ। जसलाई परमेश्वरले विशेष रूपमा रक्षा गर्नुहुन्न, ती सबैमाथि सैतानको नियन्त्रण हुन्छ। आफ्नै अभिप्रायहरूलाई अगाडि बढाउन उसले केहीलाई अनुग्रह र समृद्धि दिनेछ, र अरूमाथि दुःख ल्याउनेछ, अनि मानिसहरूलाई यो विश्वास गराउनेछ कि तिनीहरूलाई पीडा दिने परमेश्वर नै हुनुहुन्छ।” The Great Controversy, 588, 589.
