The Prophetic Significance of Christ’s Baptism and Temptation: Unveiling the Characteristics of Three World Powers

The sealing began on September 11, 2001 when the mighty angel of chapter eighteen of Revelation descended. His descent was typified by the descent of the angel of Revelation ten on August 11, 1840, and also by the descent of the Holy Spirit at Christ’s baptism. Christ’s baptism points forward to the latter rain descending when the great buildings of New York City were brought down. The power from above began, and also at that time the power from beneath (bottomless pit) would be manifested, for God’s Word never fails.

Mallattoon kunuunsi Fulbaana 11, 2001 yeroo ergamaan humna guddaan kutaa kudha saddeetffaa Mul’ataa irraa bu’e jalqabe. Bu’uun isaa bu’uu ergamaa Mul’ata boqonnaa kudhaffaa keessaa Hagayya 11, 1840 irratti ta’een fakkeeffame; akkasumas bu’uu Hafuura Qulqulluu yeroo cuuphama Kiristoositti ta’eenis fakkeeffame. Cuuphaan Kiristoos rooba boodaa, yeroo gamoowwan gurguddoon Magaalaa New York buqqifamanitti bu’u, gara fuulduraatti akeeka. Humni ol irraa dhufe jalqabe; akkasumas yeroo sana sanatti humni gad keessaa (boolla qilee hin qabne) ni mul’ata ture, jechuunis Dubbii Waaqayyoo gonkumaa hin kufu.

When Christ was baptized, He immediately went into the wilderness and fasted for forty days, after which He was tempted by Satan with three temptations. Each of those three temptations represent primary characteristics of each of the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon. Those three temptations were pride, a characteristic of the dragon; appetite, a characteristic of the beast, and presumption, a characteristic of the false prophet. Pride and self-exaltation are represented by Lucifer in the classic description of Isaiah.

Yeroo Kiristoos cuuphametti, battaluma gara gammoojjii seenee guyyaa afurtamaaf soome; sana booddee qorumsota sadiin Seexanaan qore. Qorumsota sadan sana keessaa tokkoon tokkoon isaanii amaloota bu’uuraa aangoota sadan addunyaa gara Armageddoonitti geessan sana keessaa tokko tokko ni bakka bu’u. Qorumsotni sadan sun boonaa, amala ajaja; fedhii foonii, amala bineensaa; fi of yaadummaa, amala raajii sobaa turan. Boonaanii fi of ol-kaasuun ibsa beekamaa Isaayyaas keessatti Luusiferaan bakka buufamu.

> How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms. Isaiah 14:12–16.

> Akkamitti ati akkamitti keessaa kufte, yaa Luusifer, ilma ganamaa! Akkamitti gara lafaatti darbamte, ati isa saboota dadhabsiiftu! Ati garuu garaa kee keessatti, “Gara samii nan ol baʼa; teessoo koo urjiiwwan Waaqayyoo olitti nan ol qabsiisa; gaara waldaa irra, gama kaabaa keessatti nan taaʼa; olkaʼiinsa duumessaa ol nan baʼa; Ani Isa Hundumaa Ol taʼe nan fakkaadha” jetteettaatii. Haa taʼu malee gara siʼoolitti, gara cinaacha boollaatti gad buufamta. Warri si argu sirriitti si ilaalu, si yaadanii, “Kun namicha lafa hollachiise, mootummaawwan raase kanaa?” jedhu. Isaayaas 14:12–16.

Five times Lucifer proclaims in his heart “I will.” Satan, once named the “light bearer” (Lucifer), who now only bears darkness, is he “that did shake the nations.” Prophetically he is associated with the “nations,” for he is the leader of the evil confederacy of the nations, and the confederacy of merchants identified in Revelation chapters seventeen and eighteen.

Lusifer yeroo shan garaa isaa keessatti, “Ani nan…” jedha. Seexanni, inni duraan “baattuu ifaa” (Lusifer) jedhamus, amma garuu dukkana qofa baata; inni “kan saboota raase” dha. Akka raajii keessatti mul’atutti inni “saboota” wajjin walitti hidhata qaba; sababiin isaas inni hoogganaa walii-galtee hamminaatiin walitti dhufeenya sabootaa, akkasumas walii-galtee daldaltootaa kan Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha torbaa fi kudha saddeet keessatti ibsamee dha.

> “Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon themselves the brand of antichrist, and are represented as the dragon who goes to make war with the saints—with those who keep the commandments of God and who have the faith of Jesus.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

> “Mootonnii fi bulchitoonnii fi mootummaa bulchitoonni of irratti mallattoo mormituu Kiristoos kaa’aniiru; isaanis akka jawwee qulqulloota waliin waraana geggeessuuf deemuutti—warra ajajawwan Waaqayyoo eeganii fi amantii Yesus qabanitti—fakkeeffamanii jiru.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

At Christ’s baptism the Holy Spirit descended, typifying post-September 11, 2001. After His baptism Satan tempted Christ with the offer to give Christ the power Satan uses to rule the kingdoms of the world, for at the fall of Adam, Satan had become the ruler of the kingdoms of the world.

Yeroo Kiristoos cuuphametti Hafuurri Qulqulluun irratti buʼe; kunis erga Fulbaana 11, 2001 boodaa taʼe kan fakkeenyaan agarsiisu ture. Erga Inni cuuphamee booddee, yeroo kufaatii Addaamitti mootummaa mootummaa addunyaa irratti bulchuuf humna itti fayyadamu Seexanni bulchaa mootummoota addunyaa taʼee tureef, Seexanni humna sana Kiristoosiif kennuuf dhiheessuudhaan Kiristoosin qore.

> And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:5–8.

> ଏବଂ ଶୟତାନ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଉଚ୍ଚ ପର୍ବତକୁ ନେଇ, କ୍ଷଣମାତ୍ରରେ ସମସ୍ତ ଜଗତର ରାଜ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖାଇଲା। ଏବଂ ଶୟତାନ ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ଅଧିକାର ଓ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଐଶ୍ୱର୍ଯ୍ୟ ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ ଦେବି; କାରଣ ଏହା ମୋ ପାଖକୁ ସମର୍ପିତ ହୋଇଛି; ଏବଂ ଯାହାକୁ ମୁଁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରେ, ତାହାକୁ ଏହା ଦେଉଛି। ସେହିହେତୁ, ଯଦି ତୁମେ ମୋତେ ପ୍ରଣାମ କରିବ, ତେବେ ସବୁ ତୁମର ହେବ। ଏବଂ ଯୀଶୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଇ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ଶୟତାନ, ମୋ ପଛକୁ ସରିଯାଅ; କାରଣ ଲେଖାଯାଇଛି, ତୁମ ପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଣାମ କରିବ, ଏବଂ କେବଳ ତାହାଙ୍କର ହିଁ ସେବା କରିବ। ଲୂକ 4:5–8।

Two primary characteristics of papal Rome (the beast), is her fornication and the poisoned “food” and drink she distributes.

Amalli gurguddoo lamaan Roomaa paaphaalaa (bineensichaa) keessaa inni tokko sagaagalummaa ishee, inni kaan immoo “nyaata” fi dhugaatii summii qabuu isheen raabsituudha.

> Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:14.

> ତଥାପି ତୁମ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ମୋର କିଛି କଥା ଅଛି; କାରଣ ଯେଜେବେଲ ନାମକ ସେହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀକୁ, ଯିଏ ନିଜକୁ ଜଣେ ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବକ୍ତ୍ରୀ ବୋଲି କହେ, ତୁମେ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେବାକୁ ଏବଂ ମୋର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ ବ୍ୟଭିଚାର କରିବାକୁ ଓ ମୂର୍ତ୍ତିମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅର୍ପିତ ବସ୍ତୁ ଭକ୍ଷଣ କରିବାକୁ ପ୍ରଲୋଭିତ କରିବାକୁ ସହି ଆସୁଛ। ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ବାକ୍ୟ 2:14.

The “food” and drink she provides is her false doctrines.

“Nyaanni” fi dhugaatii isheen dhiheessitu barsiisa sobaa ishee ti.

> “The great sin charged against Babylon is that she ‘made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ This cup of intoxication which she presents to the world represents the false doctrines that she has accepted as the result of her unlawful connection with the great ones of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 388.

> “Cubbuun guddaan Baabilon irratti himatame inni isheen ‘saboonni hundinuu daadhii dheekkamsa sagaagalummaa ishee irraa akka dhugan goote’ jedhu dha. Xoofoo machiisaa kan isheen addunyaatti dhiheessitu kun barsiifata sobaa isheen walitti dhufeenya seeraan alaa namoota guguddoo lafa irraa wajjin qabduun fudhatte agarsiisa.” The Great Controversy, 388.

The beast of Catholicism also deceives the world by her sorceries, which is once again something that is taken internally.

Bineensi Katolikummaa illee qoricha ishee isa falaasamaatiin addunyaa ni gowwoomfatti; kunis ammas waan keessaa fudhatamu dha.

> And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Revelation 18:23.

> Ifti shamizichaa siʼachi deebitee si keessatti hin ibsitu; sagaleen misirichaa fi misirittiiis si keessatti gonkumaa deebitee hin dhagaʼamu; daldaltoonni kee namoota guguddoo lafaa turaniitii; sababni isaas, saboota hundumaa falfala kee tiin gowwoomsifte. Mul’ata Yohaannis 18:23.

The Greek word translated as “sorceries,” is pharmakeia, meaning medications. The golden cup in her hand, represents not only a cup to drink wine from, but also the cup where her magical medical potions are prepared and delivered. In the modern world today, those magical potions are delivered in needles, not so much in a cup. When Satan appears after the soon-coming Sunday law, he will perform miracles of healing. The miracles associated with the potions and false doctrines of the papacy, was represented by Satan telling Christ to perform a miracle in turning the stone into bread.

Jechi Giriikii “sorceries” jedhamee hiikame pharmakeia dha; hiikni isaas qorichoota jechuudha. Xoofoo warqee harkaa ishee jiru, xoofoo wayinii itti dhugan qofa utuu hin taʼin, akkasumas xoofoo qorichoonni ishee hojii falfalaa qaban itti qophaaʼanii ittiin kennamanis ni bakka buʼa. Addunyaa ammayyaa yeroo harʼaa keessatti, qorichoonni hojii falfalaa qaban sun xoofoo keessa utuu hin taʼin, baayʼinaan cirracha limmuu keessatti kennamu. Seexanni seera Dilbataa yeroo dhihoo keessatti dhufu sana booddee yeroo mulʼatu, dinqiiwwan fayyinaa ni raawwata. Dinqiiwwan qorichoota sanaa fi barsiisota sobaa paaphaasummaa wajjin walqabatan, Seexanni Kiristoosiin dhagaa buddeena akka godhuuf dinqii raawwatu akka isa gaafateen bakka buufamanii turan.

The prophetic history before and after the Sunday law possesses the same characteristics. The image of the beast testing period for Adventism leading to the Sunday law in the United States typifies the image of the beast testing period for the entire world. This is why we are informed that, “the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.”

Seenaa raajii seera Dilbataa duraafi boodaa jiru amala wal fakkaataa qaba. Yeroon qorumsa fakkeenya bineensaa Adventistummaa keessatti gara seera Dilbataa Ameerikaa keessatti geessu, yeroo qorumsa fakkeenya bineensaa addunyaa guutuu tiif ta’u bakka bu’a. Kanaafuu nutti himameera jechuun, “rakkoon wal fakkaataan kun saba keenya irratti kutaalee addunyaa hunda keessatti ni dhufa.”

The miracles of satanic healings that are accomplished by Satan after the Sunday law, represent the “sorceries” of so-called medicine that are pawned off during the history beginning on September 11, 2001. Jesus stated that, “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Rome’s “food” is traditions and customs which she places above the Word of God.

> “In the movements now in progress in the United States to secure for the institutions and usages of the church the support of the state, Protestants are following in the steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World. And that which gives greater significance to this movement is the fact that the principal object contemplated is the enforcement of Sunday observance—a custom which originated with Rome, and which she claims as the sign of her authority. It is the spirit of the papacy—the spirit of conformity to worldly customs, the veneration for human traditions above the commandments of God—that is permeating the Protestant churches and leading them on to do the same work of Sunday exaltation which the papacy has done before them.” The Great Controversy, 573.

> “Dhaabbilee yeroo ammaa Ameerikaa keessatti adeemsifamaa jiran keessatti, dhaabbilee fi sirna hojiiwwan waldaa deggersa mootummaa argamsiisuuf yaalamaa jiru keessatti, Pirootestaantonni tarkaanfii Paaphaasota duukaa bu’aa jiru. Kana caalaas, Ameerikaa Pirootestaantii keessatti aangoo ol’aanaa ishee Addunyaa Durii keessatti dhabe deebitee argachuuf paaphaaf karra banaa jiru. Wanti sochii kanaaf hiika caalaatti kennus, kaayyoon guddaan yaadame kun eegumsa Dilbataa dirqisiisuu ta’uu isaati—kunis aadaa Rooma irraa madde, ishheenis mallattoo aangoo ishee akka ta’etti claim gootu.

Tradition and custom are the doctrinal “food” which the beast replaces for the Word of God, in order that it might lift up its pagan idolatry.

Aadaan fi duudhaan “nyaata” barsiisaa bineensichi Dubbii Waaqayyoo bakka buusuudhaan iddoo kaa’uudha; kunis waaqeffannaa isaa heethena, waaqolii tolfamoo waaqeffachuu, ol kaasuuf.

> “How the Roman Church can clear herself from the charge of idolatry we cannot see. True, she professes to worship God through these images; so did the Israelites when they bowed before the golden calf. But the Lord’s wrath was kindled against them, and many were slain. God pronounced them impious idolaters, and the same record is made today in the books of heaven against those who adore images of saints and so-called holy men.

> “Akka Waldaan Roomaa himata waaqeffannaa waaqolii of irraa qulqulleessuu akka dandeessu nu hin arginu. Dhuguma, isheen fakkiiwwan kanaan karaa Waaqayyoon waaqeffachuuf of ibsiti; Israaʼelonnis yeroo isaan jabbii warqee sana duratti sagadan akkasuma godhaniiru. Garuu dheekkamsi Gooftaa isaan irratti bobaʼe, baayʼeenis ajjeefaman. Waaqayyo isaan waaqeffattoota waaqolii hamoota jedhee murteesse; galmeen isumaas harʼa warra fakkiiwwan qulqullootaa fi namoota “qulqulloota” jedhaman waaqeffatan irratti kitaabota samii keessatti akkuma sanaa galmaaʼaa jira.”

> “And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a change in Catholicism; for Rome never changes. She claims infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of Catholicism. ‘The Bible, the Bible, is the foundation of our faith,’ was the cry of Protestants in Luther’s time, while the Catholics cried, ‘The Fathers, custom, tradition.’ Now many Protestants find it difficult to prove their doctrines from the Bible, and yet they have not the moral courage to accept the truth which involves a cross; therefore they are fast coming to the ground of Catholics, and, using the best arguments they have to evade the truth, cite the testimony of the Fathers, and the customs and precepts of men. Yes, the Protestants of the nineteenth century are fast approaching the Catholics in their infidelity concerning the Scriptures. But there is just as wide a gulf today between Rome and the Protestantism of Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and the noble army of martyrs, as there was when these men made the protest which gave them the name of Protestants.

> “Kuni amantiin kunis isa Pirooteestantoonni jalqabaatti akkuma guddaadhaan fudhatanii ilaalaa jiranidha; dhuma irratti immoo Pirooteestantummaa wajjin tokko taʼa.

> “Christ was a protestant. He protested against the formal worship of the Jewish nation, who rejected the counsel of God against themselves. He told them that they taught for doctrines the commandments of men, and that they were pretenders and hypocrites. Like whited sepulchers they were beautiful without, but within full of impurity and corruption. The Reformers date back to Christ and the apostles. They came out and separated themselves from a religion of forms and ceremonies. Luther and his followers did not invent the reformed religion. They simply accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles. The Bible is presented to us as a sufficient guide; but the pope and his workers remove it from the people as if it were a curse, because it exposes their pretensions and rebukes their idolatry.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.

> “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 false doctrines built upon customs and traditions, the spiritualistic manifestations of miracles, the counterfeit medical-industrial industry and the combination of churchcraft with statecraft are all the attributes of the beast of Catholicism. Pride is a characteristic of the dragon power. Presumption is the characteristic of the false prophet of apostate Protestantism.

And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:1–4.

Presumption is a noun that refers to the act or instance of assuming something to be true without sufficient evidence or proof. It involves making a judgment or drawing a conclusion based on incomplete or insufficient information. Presumption can also imply a certain level of confidence in one’s assumption, even when it may not be entirely justified.

Apostate Protestantism has accepted Sunday as God’s day of worship without any evidence to support that flawed idea from God’s Word, and they do so while knowingly professing that they are Protestants, whose motto is “God’s word alone,” or as Martin Luther proclaimed, “Sola Scriptura!” They choose to accept it based upon the traditions and customs of the Roman church, or perhaps as simply an accepted inheritance from their forefathers. At the loud cry of the third angel the truth that there is absolutely no justification for worshipping the sun that can be provided from the Bible will be clearly revealed, and then those who continue in their flawed presumption will receive the mark of the beast.

> “If the light of truth has been presented to you, revealing the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and showing that there is no foundation in the Word of God for Sunday observance, and yet you still cling to the false sabbath, refusing to keep holy the Sabbath which God calls ‘my holy day,’ you receive the mark of the beast. When does this take place?—When you obey the decree that commands you to cease from labor on Sunday and worship God, while you know that there is not a word in the Bible showing Sunday to be other than a common working-day, you consent to receive the mark of the beast, and refuse the seal of God. If we receive this mark in our foreheads or in our hands, the judgments pronounced against the disobedient must fall upon us. But the seal of the living God is placed upon those who conscientiously keep the Sabbath of the Lord.” Review and Herald, April 27, 1911.

The commonly understood weakness of the Republican party is their willingness to assume their political opponents are fair and honest, when the fruits of the Democratic party clearly reveal that they are the children of the father of lies. Repeatedly and consistently the Republicans take their political opponents at their word, when they have been shown over and over that their opponents never keep their word. They project honest motivations upon those who repeatedly have manifested no rational justification to support the Republicans flawed projections of expected honesty and integrity. It is true also that many Republicans refuse to uphold principle for personal financial gain, or because of secret immoral circumstances that allow them to be easily manipulated, but the primary prophetic attribute of the Republican party is presumption.

It is the attribute of presumption which is prophetically marked in apostate Protestants, that allows them to pretend they have taken the higher moral and political ground, when in reality they have abdicated their civil responsibilities under the empty expectation that their political opponents will keep their word. The very common definition of insanity is to try and do the same thing over and over, while expecting a different outcome, yet the Republicans argue that it is the Democrats that have been infected with insanity as manifested in their hatred of Trump.

Amalliin oftuulummaa kan warra Pirootestaantii gantummaa keessa jiran keessatti raajii dhaan mallatteeffameetu, isaan akka iddoo olaanaa safuufi siyaasaa qabatan of fakkeessuu ni dandeessisa; yeroo dhugaan garuu, abdii duwwaa mormitoonni isaanii siyaasaa dubbii isaanii ni eegu jedhuun itti amananii itti gaafatamummaa isaanii hawaasummaa dhiisaniiru.

Yet the insanity of the Republicans is repeatedly illustrated as they agree to compromises, under the premise of compromise being the work of the legislative process, while their political compromises, which they claim are based upon the principle of “the legislative process,” is made with a class who never compromise. Democrats only give ground in the political process when they are fully restrained by the numbers against them. They have never provided evidence of truly working for a middle ground with the political process. The insanity of Republicans is their repeated optimistic expectations of others that are fully unwarranted.

By far and away the majority of those who are supportive of Donald Trump will testify to the fact that the worst attribute of Trump is his willingness to accept men as supporters of his agenda, when the available evidence identifies that it was totally presumption on Trump’s part to make that choice. Presumption is the prophetic attribute of apostate Protestantism. Satan tempted Christ by quoting the Bible, but in so doing, Satan twisted the passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.

At the soon-coming Sunday law it will be the Protestants of the United States who will take the biblical mandate to cease from labor on the Sabbath day, and twist the commandment to worship God on the seventh-day Sabbath into a fabricated command that it is actually paganism’s day of the sun that men are required to worship upon. They will twist a biblical passage into an unwarranted and unscriptural test.

She has had her day, and it is past, and her daughters, the Protestant sects, were the next to come on the stage and act out the same mind that the mother had when she persecuted the saints. I saw that as the mother has been declining in power, the daughters had been growing, and soon they will exercise the power once exercised by the mother.
