At the time of the end in 1798, the prophetic message of the Ulai river of Daniel chapters eight and nine was unsealed, and William Miller was raised up in the spirit and power of Elijah to announce the nearness of God’s judgment.

> “To William Miller and his co-laborers it was given to preach the warning in America. This country became the center of the great Advent movement. It was here that the prophecy of the first angel’s message had its most direct fulfillment. The writings of Miller and his associates were carried to distant lands. Wherever missionaries had penetrated in all the world, were sent the glad tidings of Christ’s speedy return. Far and wide spread the message of the everlasting gospel, ‘Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his Judgment is come.’” The Great Controversy, 368.

> “Wiiliyaam Miilarii fi hojii-gamtoota isaa wajjin ta’aniif akeekkachiisa sana Ameerikaa keessatti lallabuun kenname. Biyyi kun giddugala sochii guddaa Dhufaatii sanaa taate. Raajiin ergaa ergamaa isa jalqabaa guutummaa isaa isa baay’ee kallattiidhaan qabu asitti argate. Barreeffamoonni Miilarii fi warri isa wajjin turan gara biyyoota fagoo fagoo tamsa’aniiru. Iddoo lallabdoonni biyya lafaa hundumaa keessatti ga’ani hundatti, oduun gammachiisaan deebi’uu Kiristoos dhihootti jiru ergame. Ergaan wangeela bara baraa, ‘Waaqayyoon sodadhaa, ulfina isaas kenninaaf; sa’aatiin firdii isaa dhufeeraatii,’ jedhutu bal’inaan fagoo fi dhiyeenyaatti babal’ate.” The Great Controversy, 368.

At the time of the end in 1989, the prophetic message of the Hiddekel river of Daniel chapters ten through twelve was unsealed, and Future for America was raised up in the spirit and power of Elijah to announce the nearness of God’s judgment.

Bara dhumaatti bara 1989 keessatti, ergaan raajii laga Hiddeqel isa Daani'el boqonnaawwan kudhan hanga kudha lamaatti argamu ni hiikame; yeroo sanattis Future for America hafuuraa fi humna Eliyaasiitiin kaafamee dhihaannaa firdii Waaqayyoo labsuuf in dhaabbate.

The Millerites announced the opening of the judgment, and Future for America announces the close of the judgment. The Millerites’ prophetic framework was the two desolating powers of paganism, followed by papalism. The prophetic framework of Future for America is the three desolating powers of paganism, followed by papalism and then followed by apostate Protestantism.

ମିଲ୍ଲରାଇଟମାନେ ନ୍ୟାୟବିଚାରର ଆରମ୍ଭକୁ ଘୋଷଣା କରିଥିଲେ, ଏବଂ Future for America ନ୍ୟାୟବିଚାରର ସମାପ୍ତିକୁ ଘୋଷଣା କରେ। ମିଲ୍ଲରାଇଟମାନଙ୍କର ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବାଣୀମୂଳକ ରୂପରେଖା ଥିଲା ପୌରାଣିକ ଧର୍ମର ଦୁଇଟି ଉଜାଡ଼କାରୀ ଶକ୍ତି, ଯାହା ପରେ ପାପାତ୍ମକତା ଆସିଥିଲା। Future for America ର ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବାଣୀମୂଳକ ରୂପରେଖା ହେଉଛି ପୌରାଣିକ ଧର୍ମର ତିନୋଟି ଉଜାଡ଼କାରୀ ଶକ୍ତି, ଯାହା ପରେ ପାପାତ୍ମକତା ଏବଂ ତାହା ପରେ ପଥଭ୍ରଷ୍ଟ ପ୍ରୋଟେଷ୍ଟାଣ୍ଟଧର୍ମ ଆସେ।

The Millerites began as Philadelphians, and transitioned into Laodiceans. Future for America began as Laodiceans, and transitions into Philadelphians. The transition from Philadelphia unto Laodicea for the Millerites was in connection with the death of Elijah and his message of Moses’ oath. The transition of Future for America is in connection with the death and resurrection of Elijah and Moses in Revelation eleven.

Milleritootni akka Filadelfiyaa taʼanii jalqaban; achii immoo gara Laʼodiiqiyaatti ceʼan. Future for America immoo akka Laʼodiiqiyaatti jalqabee gara Filadelfiyaatti ceʼa. Milleritootaaf ceʼumni Filadelfiyaa irraa gara Laʼodiiqiyaatti taʼe duʼa Eliyaasii fi ergaa isaa waadaa Musee wajjin walqabata ture. Future for America keessatti ceʼumni sun immoo Mulʼata boqonnaa kudha tokkoffaa keessatti duʼaa fi duʼaa kaʼuu Eliyaasii fi Musee wajjin walqabata.

At the opening of the judgment in 1844, the Millerites had fulfilled the work of Elijah at Mount Carmel. At the close of judgement, at the Sunday law, the movement of Future for America will have fulfilled the work of Elijah at Mount Carmel. In Millerite history the three waymarks of the sixty-five year prophecy that are identified in Isaiah chapter seven, verse eight, were repeated as two nations were joined together as one nation to establish the Protestant horn of the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. In the history of Future for America the three waymarks of the same sixty-five years are repeated when two nations come together to form the horn of Republicanism that speaks as a dragon.

The first of those three waymarks in the prophetic history of Future for America, was the time of the end in 1989. The second was September 11, 2001 and the third will be the soon coming Sunday law. In Millerite history the sequence of waymarks identified in Isaiah seven was reversed from the sequence of waymarks in the history of Isaiah. In the history of Future for America the sequence aligns with the first reference of the sixty-five years, though at the end there is no longer any element of time. Since October 22, 1844, any application of prophetic time is a satanic delusion.

Mallattoowwan raajii raajii Fuuldura Ameerikaatiin wal qabatan keessaa inni duraa bara xumuraa kan 1989 ture. Inni lammaffaan Fulbaana 11, 2001 ture; inni sadaffaan immoo seera Dilbataa dhihoo dhufu ta’a. Seenaa Mileroota keessatti, tartiibni mallattoowwan raajii Isaayyaas boqonnaa torba keessatti ibsaman, tartiiba mallattoowwan seenaa Isaayyaas keessatti argaman irraa garagalame ture. Seenaa Fuuldura Ameerikaa keessatti immoo, tartiibni sun wabii jalqabaa waggoota jaatamii shan waliin wal simata; garuu dhuma irratti yeroo jechuun wanti kamiyyuu hin hafu. Erga Onkoloolessa 22, 1844 irraa jalqabee, hojii irra oolmaan yeroo raajii kamiyyuu gowwoomsaa Seexanaa dha.

The prophetic justification for holding to the sequence of the three waymarks as they are set forth in Isaiah seven, as opposed to their reversed order in Millerite history, is partially based upon the rule of first mention. The order of the sixty-five years is first mentioned in Isaiah seven, and though there is no longer an element of the time of sixty-five years, when the final fulfillment of the prophetic history represented with those years occurs in the movement at the end, the three waymarks are still identified, and they retain the order as in Isaiah’s history.

Sababni raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii raajii sadiiwwan mallattoo sadan akka isaan Isaayaa boqonnaa torbaffaa keessatti kaa’amanitti qabachuu deeggaru, jechuunis akkaataa seenaa Millerite keessatti tartiibni isaanii garagalchamee mul’atuun mormee, kutaan isaa seera yeroo jalqabaatti dubbatamu irratti hundaa’a. Tartiibni waggoota ja’aatamii shanii yeroo jalqabaatiif Isaayaa boqonnaa torbaffaa keessatti dubbatame; yeroo ammaa garuu, yeroo raawwatiinsi dhumaa seenaa raajii waggoota sanaan bakka buufame sun sochii dhuma irratti raawwatamutti, qaamni yeroo waggoota ja’aatamii shanii sun mootummaa hin qabu ta’us, mallattoowwan sadan sun ammallee adda baafamanii jiru, isaanis tartiiba seenaa Isaayaa keessa jiruun eeggatanii turu.

A second justification for retaining the first order of the waymarks, is the relationship of the Millerite history where the sixty-five years were fulfilled, and the continuity that the Millerite movement has with the movement of Future for America. Millerite history was the beginning and Future for America is the ending.

Sababni lammaffaa karaa mallattoolee jalqabaa akkuma jirutti tursiisuuf dhihaatu keessaa inni tokko, hariiroo seenaa Millerite keessatti waggoonni jahaatamii shan guutamanitti mul’atu, akkasumas itti fufiinsa sochi Millerite sochii Future for America waliin qabuudha. Seenaa Millerite jalqaba ture; Future for America immoo xumura dha.

The movement of the Millerites ended in 1863, when the legally organized Seventh-day Adventist church began. At that point the Elijah messenger that had arrived at the time of the end in 1798, when the vision of the Ulai river was unsealed, was silenced and sealed up. In 1989, at the time of the end, when the vision of the Hiddekel river was unsealed the Elijah messenger returned.

Sochiin Miilerootaa kan xumure bara 1863 ture; yeroo sanitti waldaan Adveentistii Guyyaa Torbaffaa seeraan ijaarame jalqabe. Yeroo sana keessatti ergamaan Eliyaas kan bara xumuraatti, bara 1798, yeroo mul’anni lagaa Ulaay banamee turetti dhufe, callifamee fi cufamee ture. Bara 1989 keessa, yeroo xumuraatti, yeroo mul’anni lagaa Hiddeeqel banametti, ergamaan Eliyaas deebi’ee dhufe.

A third justification for retaining the original sequence of waymarks, is found in the line of prophecy that addresses the earth beast and its two horns. In Millerite history, two nations were joined to form the horn of Protestantism. In the history of Future for America the two horns of apostate Protestantism and apostate Republicanism will be joined to form the one nation that is an “image of,” and also an “image to” the beast. The two nations that come together in the ending history to form the single horn of church and state, reach that fulfillment at the Sunday law.

Sababni sadaffaa tartiiba mallattoowwan karaa duraanii tursiisuuf kennamu, sarara raajii bineensa lafaa fi gaanfa isaa lamaan ilaallatu keessatti argama. Seenaa Millerite keessatti, saboonni lama walitti makamuudhaan gaanfa Pirootestaantummaa uuman. Seenaa Future for America keessatti, gaanfoon lama jechuun Pirootestaantummaa gantuu fi Riphaabilikanummaa gantuu walitti makamuudhaan saba tokko uumu; innis bineensichaaf “fakkii” taʼu, akkasumas bineensichaa “fakkii” taʼa. Saboonni lama kan seenaa xumuraa keessatti walitti dhufanii gaanfa tokkoo mana amantii fi mootummaa uuman, guutummaa sana seera Dilbataatti gaʼu.

When the image of the beast is fully developed, its conclusion is attested to by its ability to pass the Sunday law. The development of that image is a process of time, but the mark of the beast is a point in time. The time of developing the image is represented by the forty-six years that the temple was erected from 1798 to 1844. The Republican horn erects a religious-political temple during the period of time that the image of the beast is being developed.

Yommuu fakkeenyi bineensichaa guutummaatti dagaage, xumuri isaa dandeettii seera Dilbataa dabarsuu isaatiin mirkanaa’a. Dagaaginni fakkeenya sanaa adeemsa yeroo dheeraa dha; garuu mallattoon bineensichaa qabxii yeroo tokkoo dha. Yeroon fakkeenya sanaa itti dagaagsifamu waggoota afurtamii ja’a mana qulqullummaa ijaarameen bakka bu’a; innis bara 1798 irraa jalqabee hamma 1844 tti dha. Gaanfi Riphablikaanii yeroo fakkeenyi bineensichaa itti dagaagaa jiru keessatti mana qulqullummaa amantii-fi-siyaaasaa ni ijaara.

The development of the image of the beast began prophetically on September 11, 2001. That crisis marked the arrival of the Patriot Act, which marked the change in Constitutional law from the premise of English law unto the premise of Roman law. English law is based upon the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and Roman law is based upon the principle that a person is guilty until proven innocent.

Misoomni fakkeenya bineensichaa raajii keessatti jalqabe Fulbaana 11, 2001tti. Rakkinni sun dhufaatii Patriot Act agarsiise; innis jijjiirama seera Heera Mootummaa keessaa ka’umsa seera Ingilizii irraa gara ka’umsa seera Roomaatti taʼe mallatteesse. Seerri Ingilizii buʼuura qajeelfama namni tokko hamma balleessaa qabu mirkanaaʼutti qulqulluu akka taʼe irratti hundaaʼa; seerri Roomaa immoo buʼuura qajeelfama namni tokko hamma qulqulluu taʼuu isaa mirkanaaʼutti balleessaa qaba jedhu irratti hundaaʼa.

The political temple that is erected from September 11, 2001 until the Sunday law is also illustrated by the formation of the image of the beast. Prophetic time is no longer applicable, so the forty-six years that the horn of Protestantism erected the spiritual temple, illustrates a period, not a point in time, when the horn of Republicanism raises up its religious-political temple.

Mana siyaasaa kan Fulbaana 11, 2001 irraa jalqabee hamma seerri Dilbataa ba’utti ijaaramu, uumama fakkeenya bineensichaatiin illee ni ibsama. Yeroon raajii mootummaa kanaaf yeroo ammaa hojii irra hin oolu; kanaafuu waggoota afurtamii jaha gaanfi Pirootestaantummaa mana hafuuraa ijaare, yeroo tokko osoo hin ta’in, yeroo dheerina qabu tokko akka gaaffiin mootummaa Riphaabilikaanizimii mana isaa amantii-siyaasaa ol kaasu ni agarsiisa.

The three primary justifications for applying the same sequence of three waymarks of the sixty-five years represented in Isaiah seven are; first, the rule of first mention; 742 BC, 723 BC and 677 BC, thus nineteen years followed by forty-six years. It was opposite in Millerite history; 1798, 1844 and 1863, thus forty-six years followed by nineteen years.

Sababoota ijoo sadan kan mallattoolee daandii sadii walitti aansuun waggoota jaatamii shanii Isaayyaas boqonnaa torba keessatti bakka bu’aniif hojiirra oolchuuf kennaman keessaa inni jalqabaa seera yeroo jalqabaatti waamamuu ti; 742 Dh.K.B., 723 Dh.K.B. fi 677 Dh.K.B., jechuun waggaa kudha sagal itti aansuun waggaa afurtamii jaha. Seenaa Milleroota keessatti garuu faallaa isaa ture; 1798, 1844 fi 1863, jechuun waggaa afurtamii jaha itti aansuun waggaa kudha sagal.

The second justification is continuity of the message of the role and work of Elijah. Elijah arrived at the time of the end in 1798, when the book of Daniel was unsealed (Daniel 8:14) and then arrived at the contest at Mount Carmel from 1840 to 1844, and he was then sealed up with the theology of custom and tradition in 1863. Elijah arrived again at the time of the end in 1989, when the book of Daniel was unsealed. He prophetically traveled to September 11, 2001, where the contest of Mount Carmel begins, only to end at the soon coming Sunday law. The continuity of the role and work of Elijah supports the sequence of waymarks identified in Isaiah seven.

Sababni lammaffaan lammaffaan isaa ergaa gahee fi hojii Eliyaas itti fufiinsa qabaachuu isaati. Eliyaas bara xumuraa keessa, bara 1798tti, yeroo macaafni Daani’eel hiikameetti (Daani’eel 8:14) dhufe; achiis wal’aansoo Gaara Qarmelitti bara 1840 irraa jalqabee hanga 1844tti gahe; itti aansuunis bara 1863tti ti’ooloojii aadaa fi duudhaa wajjin marfamanii cufame. Eliyaas deebi’ee immoo bara xumuraa keessa, bara 1989tti, yeroo macaafni Daani’eel hiikameetti dhufe. Inni raajii ahaan Fulbaana 11, 2001tti imale; achitti wal’aansoon Gaara Qarmel ni jalqaba, kunis seera Dilbataa dhihootti dhufu irratti qofa xumurama. Itti fufiinsi gahee fi hojii Eliyaas tartiiba mallattoolee karaa Isaayyaas boqonnaa torbatti adda baafaman ni deeggara.

The context of the two horns of the earth beast identifies that both horns transition from two powers unto one, one in the beginning and one in the ending of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. When the two sticks of either the beginning or ending are gathered and joined together as one nation, they are represented as building either a spiritual temple in the beginning or as a religious-political spiritual temple at the end. The counterfeit temple is an image of the papal temple, where the pope is seated in the temple of God proclaiming himself to be God.

Haalliin gaanfa lamaa bineensa lafaa sanaa kan agarsiisu, gaanfoonni lamaan sun humna lama irraa gara humna tokkootti ceʼuu isaanii dha; tokko jalqaba mootummaa jahaffaa raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessatti, kaan immoo xumura isaa keessatti. Yommuu uleen lamaan, jechuun kan jalqabaa yookaan kan xumuraa, walitti qabamanii saba tokko taʼanii tokkoon walitti hidhaman, isaan akka mana qulqullummaa hafuuraa jalqabatti ijaaranii yookaan akka mana qulqullummaa hafuuraa amantii-fi-siyaasaa xumura irratti ijaaranii jiranitti bakka buʼu. Manni qulqullummaa sobaa sun fakkii mana qulqullummaa paaphaasii ti; achittis paaphaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa taaʼee ofii isaa akka Waaqaatti labsata.

When the United States speaks as a dragon at the Sunday law, it will be fulfilling that very image, for it will have built a counterfeit temple where church and state are combined into one stick, and the church will be in control of the relationship.

Yommuu Yunaayitid Isteetis seera Dilbataa irratti akka bineensa guddaa dubbatu, fakkeenya sanauma ni guuta; sababiin isaas inni mana qulqullummaa sobaa, bakka waldaan amantii fi mootummaa ulee tokko keessatti walitti makaman ijaaree ta’a; hariiroo sana keessattis waldaan amantii to’annoo keessatti ni taati.

In Isaiah seven the prophet Isaiah, took his son, to proclaim the message to king Ahaz by the conduit of the upper pool, by the fuller’s field.

Isaayyaas boqonnaa torbaffaatti, raajiin Isaayyaas ergaa sana Mootii Akaazitti labsuuf karaa bishaan-kuusaa gubbaa, bakkaa laaqaa uffataatti, ilma isaa fudhate.

> Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field. Isaiah 7:3.

> Ergasii Gooftaan Isaayaasiin, “Atii fi ilmi kee She’ar-Yaashuub gara dhuma laga bishaanii kuusaa isa olii, karaa dirree nama uffata miiccuu sanaa irratti, Ahaazitti ba’uudhaan isa qunnamuuf amma deemi” jedhe. Isaayaas 7:3.

The word “shearjashub” means “a remnant will return.” The remnant of the beginning movement of Millerites returned in the movement of Future for America in 1989. Isaiah and his son represent a beginning and an ending, through their relationship as father and son. They convey the spirit of Elijah that was to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Isaiah was proclaiming an Elijah message to the wicked king Ahaz. Among other wicked acts, Ahaz is known for closing down the services of the sanctuary and erecting a copy of an Assyrian temple in its place.

Jechi “shearjashub” jedhu hiikni isaa “haftee tokko ni deebi’a” jechuudha. Hafteen sochii jalqabaa warra Millerites keessaa turte sochii Future for America keessatti bara 1989 deebi’te. Isaayaasii fi ilmi isaa walitti dhufeenya isaanii kan akka abbaa fi ilmaatti jiruun jalqaba tokkoo fi dhuma tokko ni bakka bu’u. Isaan hafuura Eliyaas isa garaa abbootii gara ijoolleetti, garaa ijoollees gara abbootiitti deebisuuf ture ibsu. Isaayaas ergaa Eliyaas mootii hamaa Akaazitti lallabaa ture. Gochawwan hamaa biroo keessaa, Akaaz tajaajila mana qulqullummaa cufee bakka isaa mana waaqeffannaa Asoorii fakkeessuun ijaaruudhaan beekama.

> Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord his God, like David his father. But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel. And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day. So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me. And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria. And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin. And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof. And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus. And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon. And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar. And he brought also the brazen altar, which was before the Lord, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of the altar. And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire by. Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded. And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones. And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house of the Lord for the king of Assyria. 2 Kings 16:2–18.

> Ahaaz mootummaa jalqabe yeroo waggaa digdamaa ture; Yerusaalem keessatti waggaa kudha jaha mootummaa keessa ture; innis akka mootummaa abbaa isaa Daawit godhe sanaa utuu hin taʼin, fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa duratti waan qajeelaa hin goone.

The king of Assyria represents the king of the north, which is a symbol of the papacy. The wicked king Ahaz was the literal leader of Judah, the literal glorious land. When Isaiah and his son met with him at the conduit of the upper pool by the fuller’s field, with the message that a remnant would return, the wicked king was in the crisis of a civil war between the north and the south. In that crisis, he rejected the message offered by God through the prophet Isaiah, and reached out to the literal king of the north for protection.

Mootiin Asoor mootii kaabaa bakka buʼa; kunis mallattoo papasii dha. Mootiin hamaan Aahaaz geggeessaa Yihudaa isa dhugaa, biyya ulfina qabeettii isa dhugaa ture. Yeroo Isaayyaasii fi ilmi isaa, ergaa hafeen tokko akka deebiʼu jedhu qabatanii, biratti isaa iddoo bishaan kuusaa ol-aanaa keessaa bifa itti bishaan dabarsu, jechuunis dirree nama uffata miiccituu sanaa biraatti wal arganitti, mootiin hamaan sun balaa waraana keessaa kan kaabaa fi kan kibbaa gidduutti adeemsifamaa ture keessa ture. Balaa sana keessatti, ergaa Waaqayyo karaa raajii Isaayyaasiitiin dhiheesse in didde; eegumsa argachuufis gara mootii kaabaa isa dhugaatti harka diriirse.

The setting of Isaiah seven portrays a leader of the spiritual glorious land who reaches out to the papacy for an alliance in a time of civil war, instead of reaching out to God. Ahaz’s rebellion against God is represented by him visiting the king of the north and making a pattern of the temple of the god of the king of the north, and sending the pattern of the temple to the high priest in Jerusalem, who then erected a duplicate of the counterfeit temple in the sacred grounds of God’s sanctuary. Wicked king Ahaz represents the state, and the high priest’s cooperation represents a combination of church and state.

Bakkeewwan Isaayaas boqonnaa torbaa keessatti, yeroo waraanni keessaa turetti hoogganaan biyya ulfina hafuuraa qabu tokko Waaqa bira gaʼuu mannaa, tumsaaf gara mootummaa paaphaasii harka diriirsu agarsiisa. Fincilli Ahaaz Waaqa irratti kaase, inni mootii kaabaa bira deemee fakkeenya mana waaqeffannaa waaqa mootii kaabaa sanaa akka fudhatuu fi fakkeenya mana waaqeffannaa sanaa gara lubicha guddaa Yerusaalemitti akka erguun bakka buʼa; achiis lubichi guddaan sun lafa qulqulluu mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti mana waaqeffannaa sobaa sana irraa garagalcha tokko ni dhaabe. Mootiin hamaan Ahaaz mootummaa bakka buʼa; tumsi lubicha guddaas walitti makamu mootummaa fi waldaa amantii bakka buʼa.

That literal rebellion represents the rebellion of the leader of the spiritual glorious land who duplicates the worship service of the papacy (the king of the north) and shuts down the true worship of God’s sanctuary. Ahaz’s rebellion represents the leadership of the United States, that erects a counterfeit temple in the glorious land, that is a copy of the temple of the king of the north.

Finciilli sun bakka ulfina qabeessa hafuuraa sanaa kan tajaajila waaqeffannaa abbaa qabeenyaa Phaaphaasii (mootii kaabaa) irra deebiʼee fakkeessu, akkasumas waaqeffannaa dhugaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo cufu sanaa ni bakka buʼa. Finciilli Ahaaz hoggansa Ameerikaa bakka buʼa; inniis biyya ulfina qabeessa keessatti mana qulqullummaa sobaa, isa mana qulqullummaa mootii kaabaa irraa garagalchamee hojjetame, ijaara.

The prophetic setting of Isaiah seven represents the beginning sixty-five years of the earth beast, and more directly the ending period of the earth beast. There is much light to be gleaned from the prophetic setting of Isaiah seven, but at this point we are simply employing the principle that Christ illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing. We are here making this application, not so much to dig deeply into the ramifications of the historical setting of Isaiah seven. We are identifying that when the horn of apostate Republicanism joins with the horn of apostate Protestantism it is a representation of the erection of a counterfeit temple.

Haalli raajii Isaayyaas boqonnaa torbaa, waggoota jahaatamii shanan jalqabaa bineensa lafa irraa ka’u sanaa kan bakka bu’u ta’ee argama; caalaatti immoo yeroo xumuraa bineensa lafa irraa ka’u sanaa ni agarsiisa. Haalli raajii Isaayyaas boqonnaa torbaa ifa baay’ee keessaa funaanamuu qabu qaba; garuu yeroo ammaa kana keessatti, qajeelfama jechuunis Kiristoos jalqaba wanta tokkoon dhuma wanta sanaa akka ibsu qofa hojii irra oolchaa jirra. Asitti hojii irra kan oolchinu, bu’aa fi bal’ina haala seenaa Isaayyaas boqonnaa torbaa keessa jiru gadi fageenyaan qorachuuf utuu hin ta’in, hojii irra oolmaa kana gochuufidha. Nuti asitti, yeroo gaanfi mootummaa Rippabilikaanii gantuu ta’e gaanfa Pirootestaantizimii gantuu ta’e wajjin walitti makamu, kun ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa sobaa tokkoo akka bakka bu’u adda baasaa jirra.

The erection of the counterfeit temple, that is patterned after the temple of the king of the north, represents the history when the image of the beast is formed, and it is the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided.

Ijaaramuun mana qulqullummaa sobaa, isa mana qulqullummaa mootii kaabaa fakkeeffatee ijaarame, yeroo fakkeenyi bineensaa ijaarame seenaa keessatti bakka bu’a; innis uummata Waaqayyootiif qormaata guddaa dha, kan ittiin mootummaa isaanii bara baraa murtaa’u.

> “The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided.

> “Gooftaan akka suuraan bineensichaa yeroo carraan araaraa cufamuu dura ijaaramu ifatti natti agarsiiseera; sababiin isaas inni qormaata guddaa saba Waaqayyootiif ta’uuf, isa ittiin hireen isaanii inni bara baraa murteeffamuudha.

> “This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 976.

> “Kun qorannoon saba Waaqayyoo mallatteeffamuu isaanii dura qabaachuu qaban kana. Warri hundinuu seera Isaa eeguun amanamummaa isaanii Waaqayyoof mirkaneessanii, sanbata sobaa fudhachuu didan, faajjii Gooftaa Waaqayyo Yihowaa jalatti hiriiru; mallattoo Waaqa jiraataa ni fudhatu. Warri garuu dhugaa madda samii irraa ta’e gad dhiisanii sanbata Dilbataa fudhatan, mallattoo bineensichaa ni fudhatu” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 976.

Seventh-day Adventists, who are the Laodicean “people of God,” have a “great test” that takes place before probation closes. It is “the test” they must pass “before they are sealed.” The seal of God and the close of probation take place at the Sunday law. The formation of the image of the beast takes place in a period that leads to and culminates at the Sunday law. The image of the beast and its formation is a truth that will decide our eternal destiny. The formation of that image has been illustrated as the joining of two sticks to make one nation. The joining of the two sticks happens at the beginning of the history of the United States and then again at its ending. Two sticks were joined in the beginning to establish the Protestant horn and two sticks are joined at the end to establish the Republican horn.

Adveentistoonni Guyyaa Torbaffaa, kanneen “ummata Waaqayyoo” Laaʼodiiqeyaa taʼan, “qormaata guddaa” tokko qabu; inni sunis yeroo carraan cubbuu irraa deebiʼuun cufamuu dura raawwatama. Inni kun “qormaata” isaan “chaappaa argachuu isaanii dura” darbuu qabanidha. Chaappaan Waaqayyoo fi cufamuun carraa cubbuu irraa deebiʼuu seera Dilbataatti raawwatama. Fakkeeffamni bineensichaa uumamuun isaa yeroo seera Dilbataatti geessu fi achitti xumuramu keessatti raawwatama. Fakkeeffamni bineensichaa fi uumamuun isaa dhugaa mootummaa bara baraa keenya murteessuudha. Uumamuun fakkeeffama sanaa akka ulee lama walitti makuun saba tokko taasisuutti ibsameera. Walitti makamuun ulee lamaan sun seenaa Ameerikaa keessatti jalqabatti raawwatama; booddes dhuma isaatti irra deebiʼamee raawwatama. Jalqabatti uleen lama walitti makaman gaanfa Pirootestaantii hundeessuuf; dhumarrattis uleen lama walitti makamuun gaanfa Riphaabilikaanii hundeessuuf.

In the beginning history of 1798 to 1844, the temple of the Protestant horn was erected. Nineteen years later, the first Republican president of the Republican horn spake as a lamb, and in so doing began the process of freeing the slaves, but it cost him his life. The Lamb of God died on the cross to free mankind from the slavery of sin, but it cost him his life. The cross is the Emancipation Proclamation. In the history where the Republican horn was freeing the slaves, the Protestant horn rejected the prophecy of slavery. In the history of the Sunday law, when the Republican horn is re-establishing spiritual slavery, the Protestant horn will be proclaiming the message that sets the captives free.

Bara seenaa jalqabaa bara 1798 irraa kaasee hanga 1844tti, mana qulqullummaa gaanfa Pirootestaantii ijaarame. Waggoota kudha sagal booddee, pirezidaantiin Riphaabilikaanii jalqabaa kan gaanfa Riphaabilikaanii akka hoolaatti dubbate; akkas gochuudhaanis adeemsa garboota bilisa baasuu jalqabe, garuu kun jireenya isaa isa gaafate. Hoolaan Waaqayyoo ilmaan namaa garbummaa cubbuu irraa bilisa baasuuf fannoo irratti duʼe, garuu kunis jireenya isaa isa gaafate. Fannoon Labsii Bilisoomsaa dha. Seenaa keessatti yeroo gaanfi Riphaabilikaanii garboota bilisa baasaa turetti, gaanfi Pirootestaantii raajii garbummaa ni dide. Seenaa seera Dilbataa keessatti, yeroo gaanfi Riphaabilikaanii garbummaa hafuuraa deebisee dhaabuutti jiru, gaanfi Pirootestaantii ergaa warra boojiʼamoo bilisa baasu ni labsaa jiraata.

The last president of the earth beast’s Republican horn will speak as a dragon, and when he does, the true Protestant horn will be lifted up as an ensign. That is typified in the two horns of the literal and spiritual Medo-Persian Empire. The literal Medo-Persian Empire was the second kingdom of Bible prophecy, and the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy is the spiritual Medo-Persian Empire. In the book of Daniel, the ram of Medo-Persia had two horns, as does the United States, but the second horn came up last.

> Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. Daniel 8:3.

> Ergasii ani ija ol kaasee ilaale; kunoo hoolaan gaanfa lama qabu tokko laga dura dhaabatee ture; gaanfawwan lamaanis ol ka’oo turan; garuu inni tokko isa kaan caalaa ol ka’oo ture, inni ol ka’oon immoo booddee ba’e. Daani’el 8:3.

In the prophetic history of the earth beast and its two horns, the Protestant horn was identified first, but instead of ascending and finishing the work it retreated into the wilderness of Laodicean blindness. In the history when the Republican horn speaks as a dragon, and passes the soon-coming Sunday law, the true Protestant horn will at last be lifted up as an ensign. Only those Laodicean Seventh-day Adventists that recognize the test represented by the formation of the image of the beast will receive the seal of God when probation closes. The message that identifies this testing process is now being unsealed for any who wish to be benefited thereby.
