The book of Isaiah and especially Isaiah’s final prophetic narrative found in chapters forty through sixty-six is a presentation that emphasizes a handful of important prophetic truths connected directly to the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which is now being unsealed as we approach the close of human probation. One of those truths is the revelation of Alpha and Omega. No other book in the Bible comes close to Isaiah’s testimony of the element of God’s character which illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing.

መጽሐፈ ኢሳይያስ፣ በተለይም ከምዕራፍ አርባ እስከ ስድሳ ስድስት ድረስ የተገኘው የኢሳይያስ የመጨረሻ ትንቢታዊ ትረካ፣ አሁን የሰው ልጅ የምሕረት ዘመን መዝጊያ እየቀረብን ሲሄድ እየተፈታ ካለው ከኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ራእይ ጋር በቀጥታ የተያያዙ ጥቂት አስፈላጊ ትንቢታዊ እውነቶችን የሚያጎላ ገለጻ ነው። ከእነዚህ እውነቶች አንዱ የአልፋና ኦሜጋ መገለጥ ነው። በመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ውስጥ ሌላ ማንኛውም መጽሐፍ፣ የአንድ ነገርን መጨረሻ ከመጀመሪያው ጋር የሚያመሳክረውን የእግዚአብሔር ባሕርይ ክፍል በማብራራት ከኢሳይያስ ምስክርነት ጋር ሊተካከል አይቀርብም።

> Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he. Isaiah 41:4.

> Eenyutu isa hojjetee fi raawwate, dhaloota jalqabaa irraa waamee? Ani Waaqayyo, inni jalqabaa, inni isa dhumaa wajjinis; ani isa sana. Isaayaas 41:4.

It is in Isaiah, that God identifies what it is that proves God is God.

Isaiah keessatti Waaqayyo wanta Waaqayyo akka Waaqayyo taʼe mirkaneessu maal akka taʼe ibsa.

> Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isaiah 44:6–8.

> ይሖዋ፥ የእስራኤል ንጉሥና ተቤዣቸው፥ የሠራዊት ጌታ፥ እንዲህ ይላል፤ እኔ ፊተኛው ነኝ፥ እኔም ኋለኛው ነኝ፤ ከእኔም በቀር አምላክ የለም። እንደ እኔስ ማን ይጠራል፥ ይናገራልስ፥ ለእኔስ ያዘጋጀውን በሥርዓት ያቆማል፥ ከጥንት ሕዝብን ከሾምሁ ጀምሮ? የሚመጡትንም ነገሮች እና የሚሆኑትን ያሳዩአቸው። አትፍሩ፥ አትደንግጡም፤ ከዚያ ጊዜ ጀምሮ አልነገርሁህምን? አላወጅሁህስን? እናንተም ምስክሮቼ ናችሁ። ከእኔ በቀር አምላክ አለን? አዎን፥ አለት የለም፤ ሌላ አላውቅም። ኢሳይያስ 44፥6–8።

Isaiah’s final prophetic narrative emphasizes the perfect and final fulfillment of the arrival of the Comforter that Jesus promised.

Phetolelo ya bofelo ya boporofeti ya ga Isaia e gatelela tiragatso e e itekanetseng le ya bofelo ya go tla ga Mogomotsi yo Jesu a mo solofeditseng.

> Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:1–3.

> Na dhagaʼaa, isin warri qajeelummaa duukaa buutan, isin warri Waaqayyoon barbaaddan; gara kattaa keessaa irraa isin muramtan sanaa ilaalaa, gara boolla qotamtanii keessaa baafamtan sanaattis ilaalaa. Gara Abrahaam abbaa keessanii fi gara Saaraa isin deesseettis ilaalaa; ani isa kophaa isaa waame, isa eebbise, isa baayʼise. Waaqayyo Xiyoon ni jajjabeessa; inni iddoo ishee onaa taʼe hunda ni jajjabeessa; lafa onaa ishee akka Eedenitti, gammoojjii ishee akka iddoo biqiltuun Waaqayyoo ni taasisa; gammachuu fi hojii guddaan achi keessatti ni argamu, galanni fi sagaleen faarfannaas ni argamu. Isaayaas 51:1–3.

The Comforter arrived in July of 2023. Another truth emphasized in Isaiah’s narrative is the hidden, three-step history of the seven thunders, which is the structure of “emeth,” the Hebrew word that was created by the first, thirteenth, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

Akka jajjabeessaan kun Adoolessa bara 2023 keessa dhufe. Dhugaan biraa seenaa Isaayyaas keessatti cimsee ibsame immoo seenaa dhokataa, sadarkaa sadiin adeemu kan qaqawwee torbanii ti; innis ijaarsa “emeth,” jechuun jecha Ibrootaa qubee jalqabaa, kudha sadaffaa, fi xumuraa alifbeetii Ibrootaan uumame dha.

> A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies. Isaiah 66:6.

> ከተማይቱ ውስጥ የድምፅ ጫጫታ፣ ከቤተ መቅደሱ የሚመጣ ድምፅ፣ ለጠላቶቹ ፍዳን የሚመልስ የእግዚአብሔር ድምፅ። ኢሳይያስ 66፥6።

Another important truth presented in Isaiah is the role of Islam as the tool of God’s executive judgment upon first the United States, and thereafter the world for the passage of Sunday enforcement.

Dhugaan barbaachisaan biraa Isaayaas keessatti dhiyaate tokko, gaheen Islaamaa akka meeshaa murtii hojii-raawwachiiftuu Waaqayyoo ta’ee jalqaba irratti Ameerikaa irratti, achii booddee immoo addunyaa irratti hundatti darbiinsa dirqama Dilbata kabajuu sanaaf raawwatamuudha.

> In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. Isaiah 27:8.

> Safara safaraan, yeroo inni biqilu isa wajjin falmita; inni guyyaa bubbee ba’a-bahaa keessatti bubbee isaa hamaa ni dhaaba. Isaayaas 27:8.

All of these truths could be categorized as components of the message of the Midnight Cry, which is the parable of the ten virgin’s representation of the message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ that the Father gave to Jesus, who gave it to Gabriel, that gave it to John, who wrote it out and sent it to the churches. We have been employing Isaiah’s last narrative, to support the line of prophetic events beginning in chapter eleven of Revelation, and we have now arrived at chapter twelve, where we find the woman clothed with the sun is portrayed with the symbolism that is so soundly upheld by Isaiah, that being; that Christ illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

Dhugoonni kun hundinuu akka qaamota ergaa Iyya Walakkaa halkanitti ramadamu ni danda’u; innis fakkeenya durboota kudhaniin ibsama kan ta’e, ergaa Mul’ata Yesus Kiristoos isa Abbaan Yesusitti kenne, Yesus immoo Gabri’eeliif kenne, inni immoo Yohaannisiif kenne, Yohaannis immoo barreesse gara waldootaatti erge, sanaa bakka bu’iinsa ta’eedha. Nuti seenaa dhumaa Isaayaas fayyadamaa turre, sarara taateewwan raajii isa boqonnaa kudha tokkoffaa Mul’ata keessatti jalqabu deeggaruuf; amma immoo gara boqonnaa kudha lammaffaatti geenyeerra, achittis dubartiin aduudhaan uffatamte sun mallattoolee Isaayaasiin akka ciminaan deeggarametti ni agarsiifamti; kunis, Kiristoos dhuma waan tokkoo jalqaba waan tokkootiin akka ibsuudha.

> And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. Revelation 12:1–5.

> Kana samii keessatti mallattoon guddaan ni mulʼate; dubartiin aduudhaan uffatamte tokko, jiinis miilla ishee jala, mataa ishee irrattis gonfoon urjii kudha lamaan ni ture. Isheenis ulfooftee, deessuuf ciniinnattee, dhukkubsattee ni iyyaa turte. Kana samii keessatti mallattoon biraanis ni mulʼate; kunoo, bineensi guddaan diimaan tokko, mataa torba, gaanfa kudhan qabaatee, mataa isaatii irrattis gonfoo torba qabaatee ni mulʼate. Eegeen isaas urjiiwwan samii keessaa sadaffaa isaanii harkisee gara lafaa gad darbate; bineensichis dubartittii deessuuf qophoofte sana dura dhaabatee, yeroo mucaan ishee dhalatutti isa liqimsuuf ni eegaa ture. Isheenis ilma dhiiraa deesse; inni saboota hundumaa ulee sibiilaatiin bulchuuf kan jiru ture; mucaan ishees gara Waaqaatti, gara teessoo mootummaa isaatti ol fudhatame. Mulʼata Yohaannis 12:1–5.

The woman of Revelation twelve is a symbol of God’s chosen people throughout history. The twelve tribes of ancient literal Israel represent the beginning of God’s chosen covenant people. The twelve tribes typify the ending of ancient literal Israel, when Christ selected twelve disciples. Those twelve disciples at the end of ancient literal Israel, were also the twelve apostles at the beginning of modern spiritual Israel. Two beginning witnesses and one ending witness combine to establish three witnesses that identify the one hundred and forty-four thousand as the ending of modern spiritual Israel.

Mul’anni Mul’ata 12 keessatti dubbatamtu mallattoo uummata filatamaa Waaqayyoo kan seenaa guutuu keessatti argamuudha. Gosoonni kudha lamaan Israa’el durii isa dhugaa jalqaba uummata kakuu filatamaa Waaqayyoo bakka bu’u. Gosoonni kudha lamaan sun immoo dhuma Israa’el durii isa dhugaa fakkeenyaan mul’isu, yeroo Kiristoos bartoota kudha lama filate. Bartoonni kudha lamaan sun, dhuma Israa’el durii isa dhugaa irratti, ergamoota kudha lamaan jalqaba Israa’el hafuuraa ammayyaa irratti turan. Dhugaa-baatonni jalqabaa lamaa fi dhugaa-baataan xumuraa tokko walitti makamanii dhugaa-baatota sadii hundeessu; isaanis kumaatama dhibba afurtamii afuricha akka dhuma Israa’el hafuuraa ammayyaa ta’an addaan baasu.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are also the ensign that was cast out by their brethren. They are the ensign that was a valley of dead dry bones lying in the street of the great city of Sodom and Egypt, who were murdered by the beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit. They are the ensign, that are the stones of the crown, which the woman is wearing upon her head.

Tokkoo dhibba tokkoo fi afurtamii afur kuma sunis mallattoo obboloota isaanii biratti irraa gatame dha. Isaan mallattoo sulula lafee gogaa duʼaa, magaalaa guddoo Sodoomii fi Gibxii jedhamtu keessatti daandii irratti ciisaa tureedha; isaan bineensa boolla gad fageenya hin qabne keessaa ol baʼeen ajjeefaman. Isaan mallattoo, dhagoota gonfoo, dubartiin mataa ishee irratti uffatteedha.

> And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. Zechariah 9:16.

> Guyyaan isaanii Waaqayyo isaanii gaafas akka bushaayee saba isaa taʼanii isaan ni oolcha; isaanis akka dhagaa gonfoo taʼanii, biyyasa irratti akka mallattoo ol kaafamanitti ni taʼu. Zakariyaas 9:16.

The ensign, which is the one hundred and forty-four thousand are stones, as is Christ.

Adda mallattoo, inni kun dhibba afurtamii afur kuma, akkuma Kiristoositti dhagaa dha.

> And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4.

> Isaan hundinuu dhugaatii hafuuraa tokkicha dhugan; isaan Dhagaa hafuuraa isa isaan duukaa buʼe sana irraa dhugaa turan; Dhagaan sunis Kiristoos ture. 1 Qorontos 10:4.

Christ typifies the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and Peter agrees with Paul that Christ is the “living stone” that was disallowed, and Peter also identified that God’s people are also “lively stones.”

Kiristo tokko dhibba afurtamii afur kuma sana fakkeessa; Phexirosis Phaawulos wajjin walii gala, Kiristoos “dhagaa jiraataa” kan tuffatamee ture taʼuu isaa irratti; akkasumas Phexiros sabni Waaqayyoo immoo “dhagoota jiraatoo” taʼuu isaanii ibseera.

> To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:4, 5.

> መምጽእታችሁም ናብኡ፥ ሰባት ብርግጽ ዝነጸገዎ ነገር ግና ብኣምላኽ ዝተመረጸን ክቡርን ዝኾነ ሕያው እምኒ ከም ዝኾነ፤ ንስኻትኩም ድማ ከም ሕያዋን ኣእማን መንፈሳዊ ቤት ክትኮኑ ትህነጹ ኣለኹም፤ ብኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ንኣምላኽ ቅቡል ዝኸውን መንፈሳዊ መስዋእቲ ክትስውኡ ቅዱስ ክህነት ድማ ኢኹም። 1 ጴጥሮስ 2፡4, 5

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are not only the stones in the woman’s crown, they are the crown itself.

Warri kumaa afurtamii afurii kuma afur taʼan dhagoota gonfoo dubartittii keessa jiran qofa miti; isaan gonfoo sana mataa isaanii ti.

> For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Isaiah 62:1–3.

> Zionf dhaabbataaf ani hin callisu, Yerusaalemf dhaabbataafis ani hin boqodhu; hamma qajeelummaan ishee akka ifaatti ba’utti, fayyinni ishees akka ibsaa boba’uutti mul’atutti. Saboonni Ormaa qajeelummaa kee ni argu, mootonni hundinuus ulfina kee ni argu; maqaa haaraa, isa afaan Waaqayyo siif moggaasu, ni waamamta. Atiis harka Waaqayyoo keessatti gonfoo ulfinaa in taata, harka Waaqa keetii keessattis mataa mootummaa in taata. Isaayaas 62:1–3.

Christ typifies the one hundred and forty-four thousand. He is the Rock, and they are “stones.” They are a “crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,” and Christ is the crown of glory.

Kiristoos kumaatama kuma afurtamaa afurii kuma dhibba tokkoo bakka bu’a. Inni Kattaa dha, isaanis “dhagoota” dha. Isaan “harka Waaqayyoo keessatti gonfoo ulfinaa” dha, Kiristoosis gonfoo ulfinaa dha.

> In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. Isaiah 28:5, 6.

> በዚያ ቀን የሠራዊት ጌታ ለሕዝቡ ቅሬታ የክብር አክሊልና የውበት ዘውድ ይሆናል፤ በፍርድ የሚቀመጠውንም የፍርድ መንፈስ ይሆነዋል፤ ሰልፍንም እስከ በር የሚመልሱትን ኃይል ይሆናቸዋል። ኢሳይያስ 28፥5, 6።

When considering the number twelve in the context of beginning and ending, the woman represents the chosen covenant people from ancient Israel at mount Sinai, until the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. They have been typified by Christ, and His birth typified the resurrection of the dead dry bones from the street where they had been murdered on July 18, 2020. The two-step process that Ezekiel thirty-seven so succinctly identifies, that brings those two prophets to life, is ‘first mentioned’ in the creation of Adam.

Adam was created in two steps. He was first formed, then Christ breathed the breath of life into him, just as the breath from the four winds in Ezekiel brought the dry bones to life. Adam was created a fully mature man, but his creation was none the less, his birth. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are born after three and a half symbolic days of lying dead in the street that runs through the valley of death. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are born by the woman that gave birth to the “man child: that was to rule with an iron rod.” As the symbol of the church throughout history, the woman of Revelation twelve represents the same symbolism as the “mountain” of Daniel two.

> “Revelation is a sealed book, but it is also an opened book. It records marvelous events that are to take place in the last days of this earth’s history. The teachings of this book are definite, not mystical and unintelligible. In it the same line of prophecy is taken up as in Daniel. Some prophecies God has repeated, thus showing that importance must be given to them. The Lord does not repeat things that are of no great consequence.” Manuscript Releases, volume 9, 8.

> “Mul’anni Mul’ataa kitaaba cufamaa dha, garuu akkasumas kitaaba banamaa dha. Inni taateewwan dinqisiisoo bara dhumaa seenaa lafaa kana keessatti raawwataman galmeessa.

Gooftaan waan hiika guddaa hin qabne irra deebi’ee hin dubbatu.” Manuscript Releases, volume 9, 8.

The same line of prophecy that is found in Daniel is taken up in the Revelation. Daniel’s stone, that is cut out of the mountain without hands, is Peter’s “lively stones,” who “are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood,” and Daniel’s stone also represents, the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The mountain is God’s church through history.

መስመር ትንቢት በዳንኤል ውስጥ የሚገኝ ያው በራእይ መጽሐፍ ውስጥ ይቀጥላል። የዳንኤል ድንጋይ፣ ማለትም ያለ እጅ ከተራራ የተቈረጠው፣ የጴጥሮስ “ሕያዋን ድንጋዮች” ነው፣ እነርሱም “መንፈሳዊ ቤት፣ ቅዱስ ክህነት እንድትሆኑ የምትሠሩ” ናቸው፤ እንዲሁም የዳንኤል ድንጋይ አንድ መቶ አርባ አራት ሺህን ደግሞ ይወክላል። ተራራው በታሪክ ውስጥ ያለችው የእግዚአብሔር ቤተ ክርስቲያን ናት።

> And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Daniel 2:44, 45.

> እና በእነዚህ ነገሥታት ዘመን የሰማይ አምላክ ፈጽሞ የማይጠፋ መንግሥት ያቆማል፤ መንግሥቱም ለሌላ ሕዝብ አይተላለፍም፤ ነገር ግን እነዚህን መንግሥታት ሁሉ ያደቃል ያጠፋልም፥ እርሱም ለዘላለም ይኖራል። ድንጋዩ ከተራራው ያለ እጅ እንደ ተቈረጠ፥ ብረቱንም፥ ናሱንም፥ ሸክላውንም፥ ብሩንም፥ ወርቁንም እንደ ደቀቀ እንዳየህ፤ ታላቁ አምላክ ከዚህ በኋላ የሚሆነውን ለንጉሡ አሳውቆአል፤ ሕልሙም እውነተኛ ነው፥ ትርጓሜውም የተረጋገጠ ነው። ዳንኤል 2፥44፣ 45።

The Midnight Cry message of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is also represented as the latter rain, and it is in the time of the latter rain that God ‘sets up’ the kingdom represented by Daniel’s stone.

Ergaan walakkaa kumaa afurtamii afurii fi kuma afurii ergaan iyyiisa halkan walakkaa jedhamus rooba boodaa jechuun bakka buufama; mootummaa dhagaa Daaniʼeel keessatti bakka buufame Waaqayyo “dhaabu” kan inni taʼus yeroo rooba boodaa sana keessatti dha.

> “The latter rain is coming on those that are pure—all then will receive it as formerly.

> “Bokkaan boodaa sun warra qulqulloota ta’an irratti ni dhufa—yeroo sana hundinuu akkuma duraanii ni fudhatu.

> “When the four angels let go, Christ will set up His kingdom. None receive the latter rain but those who are doing all they can. Christ would help us. All could be overcomers by the grace of God, through the blood of Jesus. All heaven is interested in the work. Angels are interested.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

> “Yeroo ergamoonni afran gad dhiisanitti, Kiristoos mootummaa Isaa ni dhaaba. Roobni boodaa isa argatu homtuu hin jiru, warra waan danda’an hundumaa hojjechaa jiran malee. Kiristoos nu gargaara ture. Hundumtuu ayyaana Waaqayyootiin, dhiiga Yesusiin injifattoota taʼuu ni dandaʼu. Samii guutuun hojii kana irratti fedhii qaba. Ergamonniis fedhii qabu.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

The four winds of Islam are released at the Sunday law, and then Christ sets up His kingdom. It takes place in the days of the spiritual kingdoms of Daniel chapter two. The last four spiritual kingdoms in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, were typified by the first four literal kingdoms. Literal Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome represent spiritual Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome.

Spiritual Babylon is the head of gold, that received a deadly wound in 1798, as typified by Nebuchadnezzar being temporarily removed from power for “seven times.” When the three-fold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet form the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven, it will be made up of all the spiritual kingdoms, represented in Nebuchadnezzar’s image of chapter two. The papacy dead and the papacy resurrected, are the spiritual head of gold in the beginning and the ending of four spiritual kingdoms of the image. The United States, as the second of the four kingdoms, is represented as spiritual Medo-Persia. The United Nations, as the third of the four kingdoms is represented as spiritual Greece and together, they all make up the three-fold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet to establish the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven. The papacy is the antichrist and seeks to counterfeit Christ. In this regard; of the last four spiritual kingdoms, the papacy is the first and the last.

The stone cut out of the mountain, becomes a kingdom that fills the whole earth, and it is set up as an ensign in “the days of these kings,” for all of the spiritual kingdoms of the image are actively represented in “the last days.” The lifting up of the ensign, which is the setting up of Christ’s kingdom takes place when the four winds of Islam are released, and the latter rain is poured out without measure at the Sunday law.

The stone cut out of the mountain will break in pieces all of earth’s spiritual kingdoms, represented by “the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold.” The one hundred and forty-four thousand represent Christ, who in Revelation twelve is “the man child,” whose birth typified the birth of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The “man child” is to “rule all nations with a rod of iron.” With that rod, he will break the nations.

> I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Psalm 2:7–9.

> Ani seera labsa nan dubbadha: Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; Ati Ilma koo ti; ani har’a si dhalcheera. Na kadhadhu, anis ormoota dhaala keetiif, daariiwwan lafaas qabeenya keetiif siifan kenna. Ati ulee sibiilaatiin isaan cabsita; akkuma mi’a suphee tokkootti isaan caccabsita. Faarfannaa 2:7–9.

The Son of God was begotten of the Father. Many take this truth and wrest it to their own destruction. “Begotten” means to give birth, but we know there was never a time when Christ was not in existence.

Ilmi Waaqayyoo Abbaa irraa dhalate. Baayʼeen dhugaa kana fudhatanii badiisa ofii isaaniitti jallisu. “Dhalate” jechuun dhaluu kennuu jechuu dha; garuu yeroo Kiristoos jiraachuu hin turre tokko illee akka hin jirre ni beekna.

> “‘Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.’ Before the last developments of the work of apostasy there will be a confusion of faith. There will not be clear and definite ideas concerning the mystery of God. One truth after another will be corrupted. ‘And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.’ There are many who deny the preexistence of Christ, and therefore deny his divinity; they do not accept him as a personal Saviour. This is a total denial of Christ. He was the only-begotten Son of God, who was one with the Father from the beginning. By him the worlds were made.” Signs of the Times, May 28, 1894.

> “‘Amma Hafuurri ifaan dubbata; bara isa dhumaa keessatti namoonni tokko tokko amantii irraa goranii, hafuurota gowwoomsanitti fi barsiisa seexanotaatti qalbeeffachuuf jiru; isaan fakkeessummaan soba dubbatu; sammuu isaanii immoo sibiila ibiddaan gubameen akka gubateetti qabu.’ Guddina hojii gantummaa isa dhumaa dura, amantii keessatti burjaajii ni jiraata.

Dhugaan tokko booddee kaan ni mancaafama. ‘Mormiin tokko malee, iccitiin waaqeffannaa guddaadha: Waaqayyo foon keessatti mul’ate, Hafuuraan qajeelfame, ergamoota duratti mul’ate, ormoota gidduutti lallabame, addunyaa keessatti amantame, ulfinaan ol fudhatame.’ Namoonni hedduun Kiristoos duraan jiraachuu isaa ni ganu; kanaafuu waaqummaa isaa ni ganu; isa akka Fayyisaa dhuunfaa isaaniitti hin fudhatan. Kun Kiristoosiin guutummaatti ganuu dha. Inni Ilma Waaqayyoo isa tokkicha dhalate ture; inni jalqabumaa kaasee Abbaa wajjin tokko ture. Addunyaaleen isaaniin uumaman.” Signs of the Times, Caamsaa 28, 1894.

When Christ is identified as the “begotten” of the Father, it is identifying a truth associated with Christ, a truth that is destroyed, if it is forced into the model of human parenthood. We cannot evaluate God from our human perspective. We can only evaluate God as He presents us with His evaluation of Himself.

Yeroo Kiristoos akka “Ilma dhalatee” Abbaa jedhamuutti beekamu, dhugaan Kiristoos wajjin walqabatu ibsamaa jira; dhugaan sun yoo dirqamaan fakkeenya abbummaa namaatti galfame ni manca’a. Nuti Waaqa ilaalcha namaa keenya irraa kaanee madaaluu hin dandeenyu. Nuti Waaqa akkamitti Ofii Isaa ofii Isaatti nuuf dhiheessetti qofa madaaluu dandeenya.

> Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:7–9.

> Namni hamaan daandii isaa haa dhiisu, namni jal’aanis yaada isaa haa dhiisu; innis gara Waaqayyootti haa deebi’u, innis isaaf araara ni godha; gara Waaqa keenyaattis haa deebi’u, inni araara baay’ee godhaatii. Yaadni koo akka yaada keessanii miti; daandiin keessanis akka daandii koo miti, jedha Waaqayyo. Akkuma samii lafa irraa ol fagaatu, daandiin koo daandii keessan irraa, yaadni koos yaada keessan irraa akkasuma ol fagaatu. Isaayaas 55:7–9.

To wrest the word “begotten” in order to identify that there was a time when the Father gave birth to Christ, is to give “heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” For the purpose of our current study, I am simply identifying that the woman of Revelation twelve was to give birth to the “man child” that is to rule the nations with a rod of iron. The one hundred and forty-four thousand will also rule the nations with a rod of iron.

“Begotten” jedhu akka Abbaafi Kiristoos gidduutti yeroo tokko Abbaan Kiristoosin dhalchetti agarsiisuuf jechicha hiikuun, “hafuurota gowwoomsitootaa fi barsiisa seexanootaa” dhaggeeffachuudha.

Kuma dhibba afurtamii afur kuma afurii fi afuris saboota ulee sibiilaatiin ni bulchu.

The church of Thyatira returns when the papacy’s deadly wound is healed at the Sunday law. In that history, the promise given to God’s people is that those who overcome will rule the “nations” with “a rod of iron.”

waldaan Taayyaaxiraa yeroo seerri Dilbataa bahe irratti madaan du’aa qabeessa papasummaa fayyutti deebi’a. Seenaa sana keessatti, waadaan saba Waaqayyootiif kenname, warri mo’an “saboota” “ulee sibiilaatiin” akka bulchan dha.

> And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Revelation 2:26, 27.

> Inni moʼatee, hojii koos hamma dhumaatti kan eegutu, isaaf saboota irratti aboo nan kenna; innis ulee sibiilaatiin isaan ni bulcha; akkuma miʼa suphee hojjetaa caccabee bittinnaaʼu, isaanis akkasuma ni caccabu; akkuma ani Abbaa koo irraa fudhadhettis. Mulʼata Yohaannis 2:26, 27.

God’s people who are in the final manifestation of the church of Thyatira, are the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The woman in the beginning gave birth to Christ and in the end, she gives birth to the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who follow the Lamb.

Sabni Uummata Waaqayyoo kanneen mul’ata isa dhumaa waldaa Tiyaatiraa keessa jiran, dhibba afurtamii afur kuma ta’u. Dubartiin jalqabatti Kiristoosiin deesse; dhumarrattis immoo, dhibba afurtamii afur kuma, warra Hoolicha duukaa bu’an, deessi.

> And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. Revelation 14:3, 4.

> ଏବଂ ସେମାନେ ସିଂହାସନର ସାମ୍ନାରେ, ଚାରିଟି ଜୀବନ୍ତ ପ୍ରାଣୀ ଓ ପ୍ରାଚୀନମାନଙ୍କ ସାମ୍ନାରେ, ନୂତନ ଗୀତ ପରି ଏକ ଗୀତ ଗାଇଲେ; ଏବଂ ସେହି ଗୀତ କେହି ଶିଖି ପାରିଲେ ନାହିଁ, କେବଳ ପୃଥିବୀରୁ ମୋଚିତ ସେହି ଏକ ଲକ୍ଷ ଚୁଆଳିଶ ହଜାର ବ୍ୟତୀତ। ଏମାନେ ସେମାନେ, ଯେମାନେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହ ନିଜମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅଶୁଦ୍ଧ କରିନଥିଲେ; କାରଣ ସେମାନେ କୁମାର। ଏମାନେ ସେମାନେ, ଯେମାନେ ମେଷଶାବକ ଯେଉଁଯେଉଁଠାରେ ଯାଆନ୍ତି, ସେଠାସେଠା ତାଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କରନ୍ତି। ଏମାନେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ମୋଚିତ ହୋଇ, ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଓ ମେଷଶାବକଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରଥମ ଫଳରୂପେ ନିବେଦିତ ହୋଇଥିଲେ। ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ବାକ୍ୟ 14:3, 4.

Christ was born “first”, and the one hundred and forty-four thousand follow the Lamb, so they are born “last”. Christ was “caught up to God”, just as were the two witnesses of Revelation eleven. Both of her children ascend to the Father.

Kiristoos “duraan dhalate”, kumni afurtamii afur kumni immoo Hoolicha duukaa buʼu; kanaaf isaan “dhuma irratti” dhalatu. Kiristoos “gara Waaqayyootti ol fudhatame”, akkuma dhugaa-baatonni lamaan Mulʼata boqonnaa kudha-tokko keessatti taʼan. Ijoolleen ishee lamaan isaanii gara Abbaatti ol baʼu.

> And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. Revelation 2:5.

> Inni mucaa dhiiraa deesse; innis saboota hundumaa ulee sibiilaatiin bulchuuf jedhu ture; mucaan ishees gara Waaqayyootti, gara teessoo mootummaa isaattis ol fudhatame. Mul’ata 2:5.

Christ, as the Lord of Hosts, is also the “portion of Jacob,” and Israel is “the rod of his inheritance,” and Israel is also His “battle ax and” His “weapons of war” who He uses to “break in pieces the nations.”

Kiristoos akka Gooftaa Raayyaa ta’ee, “qooda Yaaqoob” illee dha; Israaʼel immoo “ulee dhaala isaa” dha; akkasumas Israaʼel “qottoo waraanaa” isaa fi “meeshaalee waraanaa” isaa kan inni ittiin “saboota caccabsu” dha.

> The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms. Jeremiah 51:19, 20.

> ଯାକୁବଙ୍କ ଅଂଶ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ନୁହେଁ; କାରଣ ସେହି ସମସ୍ତ ବସ୍ତୁର ସୃଷ୍ଟିକର୍ତ୍ତା; ଏବଂ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ତାଙ୍କ ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାରର ଦଣ୍ଡ; ସେନାବଳର ଯେହୋବା ତାଙ୍କର ନାମ। ତୁମେ ମୋର ଯୁଦ୍ଧକୁଠାର ଏବଂ ଯୁଦ୍ଧାସ୍ତ୍ର; କାରଣ ତୁମ ଦ୍ୱାରା ମୁଁ ଜାତିଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଚୂର୍ଣ୍ଣବିଚୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରିବି, ଏବଂ ତୁମ ଦ୍ୱାରା ମୁଁ ରାଜ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଧ୍ୱଂସ କରିବି। ଯିରିମିୟ 51:19, 20.

Christ and the one hundred and forty-four thousand both rule and break the nations in pieces with a rod of iron. Christ is the “portion of Jacob,” but so too are His people.

Kiristoosii fi dhibbi afurtamii afurii kuma tokko lamaan isaanii iyyuu ulee sibiilaatiin saboota ni bulchu, ni caccabsus. Kiristoos “qooda Yaaqoob” dha; akkasuma sabni Isaa illee ni ta’u.

> For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. Deuteronomy 32:9.

> Waaqayyoon qoodni isaa saba isaa ti; Yaaqoob immoo qooda dhaala isaa ti. Keessa Deebii 32:9.

The stone cut out of the mountain, representing God’s church is the final manifestation of His church that fills the earth with His glory, and they are used as God’s battle ax to strike the feet of the image and turn those kingdoms into the “chaff of the summer threshing floors.” Those kingdoms are blown away by the wind.

> Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:35.

It was needful to place the symbolism of the woman in the context of the ensign that is lifted up to heaven, for Revelation chapter twelve identifies the beginning of a war between Christ and Satan that began in heaven, and in so doing it is identifying a war in heaven that identifies the end of the great controversy between Christ and Satan. Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen illustrate the final war of the great controversy, and they do so by illustrating Satan’s representatives and the one hundred and forty-four thousand battling in the heavens.

> And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And 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 in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And 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. And 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: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:11–18.
