The book of Daniel identifies that it is Rome that establishes the vision, and that understanding was opposed by the Protestants of Millerite history when William Miller identified this fact. In the last days, it is still Rome that establishes the vision, and today Laodicean Adventism now upholds the fallen Protestant view that the robbers of thy people are Antiochus Epiphanes. The covenant people that were being passed by in Millerite history resisted the very same truth, that is now resisted by the covenant people of the last days that are now being passed by. Solomon said it well:

Kitaabni Daani’eel mul’isiti aragtiicha kan dhaabu Roomaa akka ta’e; hubannoon sunis yeroo seenaa Milerotaa keessatti yeroo William Miller dhugaa kana adda baase keessatti Pirootestaantotaatiin mormame. Guyyoota dhumaattis ammallee aragtiicha kan dhaabu Roomaa dha; har’as Adventizimiin Laa’odiqeyaa ilaalcha Pirootestaantii kufe, jechuun saamtoonni saba kee Antiochus Epiphanes ta’u, ni deeggara. Sabni kakuu kan seenaa Milerotaa keessatti darbamanii turan dhugaa isuma kana morman; dhugaan sunis amma sabni kakuu guyyoota dhumaa, kan amma darbaa jiru, ni morma. Solomoon akkana jedhee gaarii dubbate:

> The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10.

> Wantiin ture, isatu waan taʼu; wantiin hojjetame immoo, isatu hojii taʼu; aduudhaan gaditti wanti haaraan tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Wanti tokko, “Kunoo, kun haaraa dha” jedhamee irratti dubbatamuu dandaʼu ni jiraa? Inni durii jalqabuma irraa ture; innis nu dura ture. Lallaba 1:9, 10.

Prophetically there are three manifestations of Rome, and the first two manifestations identify the characteristics of the third, for truth is established upon the testimony of two.

Akka raagaa dubbatameen, Roomiin mul’ata sadii qaba; mul’anni inni jalqabaa fi inni lammaffaan amaloota isa sadaffaa ibsu, dhugaanis ragaa lamaatiin ni jabaatti.

> But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Matthew 18:16.

> Garuu yoo si hin dhageenye taʼe, namoota tokko yookaan lama dabalatee of biraa fudhadhu; akka afaan dhugaa-baatota lamaa yookaan sadii keessatti dubbii hundinuu jabaatee dhaabatuuf. Maatewos 18:16.

The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and paganism is a counterfeit of true religion. It is not so much a counterfeit in the sense that counterfeit currency is understood, for paganism actually looks nothing like true religion. But prophetically it has counterfeit characteristics. The City of Rome is a counterfeit of Jerusalem, and it has a temple (the Pantheon) that was a counterfeit of the temple in Jerusalem. The religious practices of paganism are unsanctified and devilish, but they represent Satan’s counterfeit religious practices. The head of pagan Rome’s religion was titled Pontifex Maximus. “Pontifex Maximus” originally referred to the chief priest of the Roman state religion in ancient Rome, with its origins dating back to the early Roman Republic. Over time, it became associated with political and religious authority and eventually evolved into the title used by the Pope in the Roman Catholic Church today.

Amantiin Roomaa waaqeffannaa sobaa ture; waaqeffannaan sobaas amantii dhugaa fakkeessuun dhihaata. Garuu kun akka maallaqa sobaa hubatamutti fakkeeffama jechuu miti; waaqeffannaan sobaa dhugumaan amantii dhugaa fakkaachuu hin qabu. Haa taʼu malee, raajii keessatti amala fakkeeffamaa qaba. Magaalaan Roomaa Yerusaalemii fakkeessituu dha; mana qulqullummaa ishees (Pantheon) mana qulqullummaa Yerusaalem keessa ture fakkeessituu ture. Sirni waaqeffannaa sobaa hin qulqullaaʼin, hamaa fi seexanawaa dha; garuu kun hojiiwwan amantii fakkeeffamaa Seexanaa bakka buʼa. Mataan amantii Roomaa waaqeffannaa sobaa qabu maqaa Pontifex Maximus jedhuun waamama ture. “Pontifex Maximus” jalqaba irratti Roomaa durii keessatti luba mootummaa amantii Roomaa olaanaa agarsiisa ture; ka’umsi isaas mootummaa Roomaa yeroo jalqabaa Republikii Roomaa durii irraa eegala. Yeroo dheeraaf aangoo mootummaa fi amantii wajjin walqabatee, dhuma irrattis maqaa harʼa Phaaphaasiin Mana Kiristaanaa Kaatolikii Roomaa keessatti itti fayyadaman taʼee guddachaa dhufe.

The title of the chief priest of pagan Rome was Pontifex Maximus, and it was also the title of the chief priest of papal Rome and it is a Latin term that means the “Greatest of Supreme Pontiff.” He was the chief priest of the Roman state religion, particularly the cult of the god Jupiter. The Pontifex Maximus had significant religious authority and responsibilities, including overseeing various religious rites and ensuring the proper functioning of the Roman religious calendar. The Pontifex Maximus was the head of the College of Pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum), a group of priests responsible for interpreting and maintaining the rituals of Roman religion.

Maqaan lubaa olaanaa Roomii waaqeffannaa ormaa Pontifex Maximus ture; innis akkasuma maqaa lubaa olaanaa Roomii paappaasummaa ture, jechi kunis jecha Laatiinii “Phaaphaasii Olaanaa Hundarra Guddaa” jedhu dha. Inni luba olaanaa amantii mootummaa Roomaa, keessumaa waaqeffannaa waaqa Juupitarii, ture. Pontifex Maximus aangoo fi itti gaafatamummaa amantii guddaa qaba ture; isaanis sirna amantii garaagaraa to’achuu fi akka lakkoofsi guyyaa amantii Roomaa sirnaan hojjetu mirkaneessuu dabalatu. Pontifex Maximus mataa Kolleejjii Phaantiffootaa (Collegium Pontificum) ture; kunis garee luboota sirna amantii Roomaa hiikuu fi eeguu irratti itti gaafatamummaa qaban ture.

The chief priest of both pagan and papal Rome was Pontifex Maximus, therefore the title of the head of modern Rome will naturally also be Pontifex Maximus. The religion of pagan Rome was paganism, and the religion of papal Rome was, and still is, paganism, but cloaked by a profession of Christianity, and the religion of last-day modern Rome will be paganism, cloaked by a profession of Christianity.

Lubni olaanaa Roomii warra waaqeffannaa tolfamoo fi Roomii paaphaasummaa lamaan iyyuu Pontifex Maximus ture; kanaafuu maqaan aangoo ol’aanaa Roomii ammayyaa immoo akka uumama isaatti Pontifex Maximus ta’a. Amantiin Roomii warra waaqeffannaa tolfamoo waaqeffannaa tolfamoo ture; amantiin Roomii paaphaasummaas waaqeffannaa tolfamoo ture, ammas ni ta’a; garuu himannaa Kiristaanummaaatiin haguugamee; amantiin Roomii ammayyaa isa guyyaa dhumaa irrattis waaqeffannaa tolfamoo ta’a, himannaa Kiristaanummaatiin haguugamee.

Both pagan and papal Rome had a specific period of time that they would rule supremely. Pagan Rome was to rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years in fulfillment of the time prophecy of Daniel chapter eleven, verse twenty-four.

መንግሥተ ሮሜ ናይ አረማውያንም ሆነ ናይ ጳጳሳዊ ሥርዓት፣ በሙሉ ሥልጣን የሚገዙበት የተወሰነ ዘመን ነበራቸው። አረማዊት ሮሜ በዳንኤል ምዕራፍ አሥራ አንድ ቁጥር ሃያ አራት ያለውን የዘመን ትንቢት በመፈጸም፣ ለሦስት መቶ ስድሳ ዓመት በሙሉ ሥልጣን ልትገዛ ነበር።

> He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.

> ఓం ఆయన సమాధానముగా ప్రదేశ్‌లోని అత్యంత సుసంపన్న స్థానములలోనికిని ప్రవేశించును; అతని పితరులు చేయనిదానిని, అతని పితామహులు కూడ చేయనిదానిని అతడు చేయును; దోపిడీని, లూటిని, సంపదలను వారిమధ్య చిందించును; అవును, దృఢకోటలమీద తన యుక్తులను ఒక కాలమువరకు సంకల్పించును. దానియేలు 11:24.

The subject of verse twenty-four is pagan Rome, for they became the subject in verse sixteen, and continue as the subject until verse thirty-one. We will address these verses specifically in coming articles, but here we are simply pointing out that prophecy identified that pagan Rome would rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years, as represented by Rome “forecasting” their “devices against the strong holds, even for a time.” The word translated “against” actually means “from,” and the verse is saying that Rome would direct the world “from” the “strong holds,” which was the City of Rome, and it would do so for a “time”, which is three hundred and sixty years.

Mata-dureen keeyyata afurtama-afurii Roomaa warra waaqeffannaa ormaa ti; sababiin isaas isaan keeyyata kudha jaha keessatti mata-duree ta’anii, hanga keeyyata soddomii tokkootti mata-duree ta’anii itti fufu. Keeyyatoota kana barruulee dhufan keessatti addatti ni ilaalla; garuu asitti wanti nuti salphaatti agarsiisaa jirru, raajichi Roomaan warri waaqeffannaa ormaa waggoota dhibba sadii fi jaatamaaf mootummaa ol’aantummaa guutuu qabuun akka bulchan adda baasee ibsuudha; kunis Roomaan “yeroo tokkoof” “masaraa jajjaboo irratti” “mala isaanii raawwachuu” isaaniitiin bakka bu’eera. Jechi “irratti” jedhamee hiikame dhugumatti “irraa” jechuun hiikama; keeyyatichis Roomaan addunyaa “masaraa jajjaboo irraa,” jechuun Magaalaa Roomaa irraa, akka qajeelchitu, akkasumas “yeroo” tokkoof akka akkas gootu dubbata; “yeroon” kunis waggoota dhibba sadii fi jaatama dha.

Pagan Rome began to rule supremely at the Battle of Actium, in 31 BC, and continued to rule supremely until the year 330 AD, when Constantine moved the capital of the empire from the stronghold of the City of Rome, to the City of Constantinople. Then the empire began its infamous decline. The City of Rome was the prophetic “strong hold” for pagan Rome, and when it ruled from that city it was invincible. In the warfare that followed Constantine’s transfer of power, the City of Rome became the target of attack for Genseric and the invading barbarian tribes, who are represented by the first four Trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.

Roomiin Waaqeffataa lola Actium keessatti, bara dhaloota Kiristoos dura 31tti, bulchiinsa ol’aanaa jalqabe; hamma bara dhaloota Kiristoos booda 330tti immoo akkasuma ol’aanaan mootummaa gaggeessaa ture; yeroo sana Constantinus teessoo mootummaa sanaa iddoo jabinaa Magaalaa Roomaa irraa gara Magaalaa Constantinopletti geesse. Sana booddee mootummaan sun kufaatii isaa hammaataa beekamaa jalqabe. Magaalaan Roomaa Roomii Waaqeffataa keessatti raajii keessatti “iddoo jabinaa” turte; yeroo inni magaalaa sana irraa bulchaa turettis kan hin mo’amne ture. Lola aangoo Constantinus geeddaree sana booddee dhufe keessatti, Magaalaan Roomaa kaayyoo haleellaa Genseric fi gosoota barbarii weerartoota taate; isaanis buufatawwan afran jalqabaa Mul’ata boqonnaa saddeet keessatti bakka bu’aniiru.

For this reason in Daniel chapter eleven, verse thirty-one, the “arms” (pagan Rome) that stood up for the papacy, first polluted the “sanctuary of strength.” The City of Rome is the prophetic “sanctuary of strength” for both pagan and papal Rome, for in the year 330, with the transfer of pagan authority to Constantinople, the City of Rome was left to papal Rome that was on the rise. For this reason, Revelation chapter thirteen, verse two says the dragon (pagan Rome), gave papal Rome its “seat.” A “seat” is where a power rules from, and from the year 538 through to 1798, papal Rome ruled supremely as had pagan Rome ruled supremely for “a time”.

এই কাৰণেই দানিয়েল অধ্যায় ১১, পদ ৩১-ত, “বাহুবিলাক” (পৌত্তলিক ৰোম), যিবিলাকে পাপাস্বৰূপ ক্ষমতাক সমৰ্থন কৰি উঠিছিল, প্ৰথমে “বলৰ পবিত্ৰস্থান” অপবিত্ৰ কৰিলে। ৰোম নগৰীয়াই পৌত্তলিক আৰু পোপীয়—উভয় ৰোমৰ বাবেই ভাববাণীমূলক “বলৰ পবিত্ৰস্থান”; কিয়নো ৩৩০ চনত, পৌত্তলিক ক্ষমতা কনষ্টান্টিনোপললৈ স্থানান্তৰিত হোৱাৰ লগে লগে, ৰোম নগৰী উদীয়মান পোপীয় ৰোমৰ হাতত এৰি দিয়া হৈছিল। এই কাৰণেই প্ৰকাশিত বাক্য অধ্যায় ১৩, পদ ২-এ কৈছে যে ড্ৰেগনে (পৌত্তলিক ৰোমে) পোপীয় ৰোমক তাৰ “আসন” দিছিল। “আসন” হৈছে য’ৰপৰা কোনো শক্তিয়ে শাসন কৰে; আৰু ৫৩৮ চনৰ পৰা ১৭৯৮ চনলৈকে, পোপীয় ৰোমে পৰম প্ৰভুত্বৰ সৈতে শাসন কৰিছিল, যেনেকৈ পৌত্তলিক ৰোমেও “একাল”-ৰ বাবে পৰম প্ৰভুত্বৰ সৈতে শাসন কৰিছিল।

Prophecy identifies a specific period of time when both pagan and papal Rome would rule supremely, and when they did so it would be from their seat of authority, which was the City of Rome. Pagan Rome’s invincibility ended when they left the City of Rome, marking the end of the three hundred and sixty years, represented as a “time” in verse twenty-four, and when the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal rule ended in 1798, Napoleon had the pope taken out of the City of Rome and he died in exile.

Raajiin yeroo murtaaʼe tokko adda baasa; yeroo sana keessatti Roomaan waaqeffannaa ormaa fi Roomaan paaphaas ol’aantummaa guutuu ni mootummaa turan; yeroo akkas godhanittis teessoo aangoo isaanii irraa, jechuunis Magaalaa Roomaa irraa taʼee ture. Injifannaan hin cabsamne kan Roomaa waaqeffannaa ormaa yeroo isaanii Magaalaa Roomaa keessaa baʼanitti xumurame; kunis xumura waggoota dhibba sadii fi jahaatamii taʼee, lakkoofsa afurtamaa fi afur keessatti “yeroo” jechuun bakka buufame dha.

Pagan Rome and Papal Rome establish that modern Rome will rule supremely for a specific prophetic period in the last days. “Time is no longer”, but the period of papal persecution of the last days is a specific period that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States and continues until human probation closes, when Michael stands up and pronounces, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”

Roomeen buttaa fi Roomeen Paappaasummaa, Roomeen ammayyaa bara dhumaa keessatti yeroo raajii murtaa’e tokkoof mootummaa olaantummaa guutuu akka qabaattu ni dhaabu. “Yeroon kana caalaa hin jiru”; garuu yeroo ari’atama paappaasummaa bara dhumaa kan murtaa’e, seera Dilbataa yeroo dhiyootti Ameerikaa keessatti dhufu irraa jalqaba; yeroo qorannoon namootaa cufamutti, yeroo Miikaa’el ka’ee, “Inni jal’aan, ammas jal’a haa ta’u; inni xuraa’aanis, ammas xuraa’aa haa ta’u; inni qajeelaan, ammas qajeelaa haa ta’u; inni qulqulluunis, ammas qulqulluu haa ta’u” jedhee labsutti itti fufa.

Pagan Rome persecuted Christians in the Colosseum in the City of Rome during its bloody history, and Christian historians have estimated that during the Dark Ages of papal rule one hundred million martyrs were murdered by the papacy, but the papacy denies that claim and sets the estimate at about fifty million. Pagan and papal Rome both persecuted God’s faithful, and modern Rome will also persecute God’s faithful people in the last days.

Pagan Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Papal Rome overcame three geographical obstacles as it took control of the world. Modern Rome overcame the King of the South (the atheistic Soviet Union) in 1989, and will next overthrow the glorious land (the United States) at the soon coming Sunday law. It will then overcome Egypt (the entire world).

They endeavor so to frame the laws of nations that men shall show their loyalty to earthly governments by trampling upon the laws of God’s kingdom.

In order to defend the truth that identifies the “glorious land” of Daniel eleven verse forty-one as a symbol of the United States, the Lion of the tribe of Judah opened to the students of prophecy of the last days the principle of the triple application of prophecy. The light from those last six verses, have been established by applying the history represented by “the daily” in the book of Daniel, as set forth in verse thirty-one of Daniel eleven, unto the last six verses of the chapter. The same bedrock truth (“the daily”), that became the key of Miller’s prophetic framework, also produced the prophetic framework of the last days. Miller’s framework was based upon the two desolating powers of paganism and papalism that persecuted God’s people, and the framework of the last days is based upon the three desolating powers that persecute God’s people in the last days.

The increase of knowledge represented in the last six verses of Daniel eleven, that represent the increase of knowledge that arrived in 1989, and that are represented by the Hiddekel River, was resisted by the enemies of truth. That resistance led to an understanding of the principle of the triple application of prophecy, which was first recognized as a triple application of Rome, which is the subject that establishes the vision of prophetic history.

The triple application of the three manifestations of Rome identifies that pagan and papal Rome’s religion is paganism, and that their religion is governed by a man titled Pontifex Maximus. Those two manifestations of Rome identify that three geographical powers are removed in advance of them ruling supremely for a specified period of time, and that they will rule from the seven-hilled city of Rome, which is their sanctuary of strength. They both witnessed to the fact that they persecuted God’s faithful people. Therefore, based upon these two witnesses we know that modern Rome’s religion will be paganism, and that she will be directed by the pope of Rome whose title is Pontifex Maximus.

Hojiirra sadii mul’atawwan Roomaa sanaa akka amantiin Roomaa warra waaqeffannaa fi Roomaa paaphaasummaa waaqeffannaa taʼe, akkasumas akka amantiin isaanii nama maqaan isaa Pontifex Maximus jedhuun bulfamu ni beeksisa.

Before the great whore takes control and rules supremely modern Rome will need to overcome three obstacles, and the first obstacle is past history with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1989, Rome’s atheistic enemy that resisted Rome’s power in Europe. The next obstacle is overthrown at the soon coming Sunday law in the United States, and then the United Nations will give its authority unto modern Rome for a short space. Once it is fully enthroned the persecution of the last days will take place.

The book of Daniel, and especially Revelation chapter eight, provide the prophetic characteristics of Rome, which contribute to the correct understanding of modern Rome. One of those characteristics was the division of the Roman Empire into East and West as accomplished by Constantine in the year 330. Pagan Rome and papal Rome, when considered together, also speak to the twofold nature of Rome. Constantine’s division that produced western and eastern Rome is a second witness to pagan and papal Rome. Constantine set up the civil authority in the east, and left the ecclesiastical authority in the west. Pagan Rome represented statecraft and papal Rome represented churchcraft. The east was statecraft, the west was churchcraft as typified by the iron and clay of Daniel two, or the masculine horn and feminine horn of Daniel eight, or the beasts of prey of Daniel seven, and the sanctuary beasts of Daniel eight.

Kitaabni Daani’eel, keessumaa immoo Mul’ata boqonnaa saddeeti, amaloota raajii Roomaa ni dhiyeessu; kunis Roomaa ammayyaa sirriitti hubachuuf gumaacha. Amaloota sana keessaa tokko mootummaa Roomaa gara Bahaatti fi Lixaatti qoodamuu isaa, akkuma bara 330 keessatti Qonstantiinoosiin raawwatame, ture. Roomaan waaqeffannaa mootummaa durii fi Roomaan paaphaasummaa, yeroo walitti ilaalaman, bifa lamaa Roomaa ni dubbatu. Qoodinsi Qonstantiinoos kan Roomaa Lixaa fi Roomaa Bahaa uume, Roomaa waaqeffannaa mootummaa durii fi Roomaa paaphaasummaa irratti dhugaa-baatuu lammaffaa dha. Qonstantiinoos aangoo mootummaa Baha keessatti dhaabe; aangoo waldaa kiristaanaa immoo Lixa keessatti dhiise. Roomaan waaqeffannaa mootummaa durii mootummaa bulchuu bakka buʼe; Roomaan paaphaasummaa immoo waldaa bulchuu bakka buʼe. Bahaan mootummaa bulchuu ture; Lixaan immoo waldaa bulchuu ture; kunis akkuma sibiilaa fi suphee Daani’eel boqonnaa lama keessatti fakkeeffamanitti, yookaan gaafa dhiiraa fi gaafa dubartii Daani’eel boqonnaa saddeet keessatti, yookaan bineensota saamoo Daani’eel boqonnaa torbaa keessatti, fi bineensota mootummaa qulqullummaa Daani’eel boqonnaa saddeet keessatti fakkeeffamanitti.

Modern Rome will also be twofold in nature, consisting of a combination of church and state, of iron and clay, and of churchcraft and statecraft, but Modern Rome is also threefold in nature. In Revelation chapter eight both western and eastern Rome were literally and symbolically divided into three. Constantine ruling from eastern Rome literally divided his kingdom to his three sons, and western Rome was symbolically represented by the sun, moon and stars that represented the threefold form of government that was employed by the Roman Empire. Thus, Modern Rome, though being twofold of churchcraft and statecraft, would also represent a threefold union represented by the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

The manifestations of pagan and papal Rome identify the complex prophetic makeup of the final Modern Rome. It is the threefold union that takes place at the soon coming Sunday law that leads the world to Armageddon. It is the worldwide “Image of the Beast” which is a symbol of the combination of Church and State. Its head is Pontifex Maximus, who rules from the City of Rome, which is the seat of his power. The man of sin’s civil authority will be provided by the United Nations, and the world will be forced to accept the threefold, yet dual system of the antichrist, by the coercive power of the United States. Thus, just as pagan Rome (the dragon) in Revelation thirteen, verse two, gave the papacy “his power, his seat and great authority”, the United States, as typified by pagan Rome, accomplishes the same three works for modern Rome. The seat is Vatican City in the seven-hilled city of Rome, the authority is the United Nations, and the power is the United States. Together they lead the world to a place where the papacy “shall come to his end, and none shall help him”.

> And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. Revelation 16:12–17.
