It has been established upon several witnesses that in history and in prophecy Rome always comes up eighth and is of the seven. The prophetic riddle of this symbol is part of what the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals just before the close of probation. Christ never changes, and in the First and Great Disappointments of Millerite history, He revealed a truth which explained the mystery of the disappointment.

Seenaa fi raajii keessatti Roomaan yeroo hundumaa saddeettaffaa taatee keessaa torban sanaa akka taate, dhugaa-baatota hedduu irratti hundaaʼee mirkaneeffameera. Hiikni iccitii raajii mallattoo kanaa keessaa tokko waan Leenci sanyii Yihudaa yeroo xumura carraan araaraa cufamuu jedhu irraa yeroo muraasa dura hiiku keessaa isa tokko dha. Kiristoos yoom iyyuu hin geeddaramu; akkasumas seenaa Millerootaa keessatti Gaddisa Tokkoffaa fi Guddicha keessatti, dhugaa tokko kan iccitii gaddisa sanaa ibse ifa godheera.

After the First Disappointment in Millerite history, He removed His hand from a mistake in some of the figures represented upon the 1843 chart. The mistake represented the prophetic misunderstanding that produced the Disappointment. The Millerites were ultimately led to a series of understandings, which firmly established the starting date of the twenty-three hundred days. With a firm starting point, that was primarily based upon the date of the cross, they then saw the same prophetic evidence that they had been employing to identify 1843, actually identified not only 1844, but the very day of October 22, 1844.

Seenaa jalqabaa keessatti seenaa Miilerootaatiin erga Gaddisiisaan Tokkoffaan dhufee booddee, Inni dogoggora lakkoofsa keessaa muraasa isa chaartii 1843 irratti agarsiifame irraa harka Isaa kaase. Dogoggorri sun hubannaa raajii dogoggoraa Gaddisiisummaa sana fide bakka buʼe. Dhuma irratti Miileroonni gara hubannoowwan walitti aansaniitti qajeelfaman; hubannoowwan sunis guyyaa jalqabaa guyyaa kumaatama lamaa fi dhibba sadii sana cimsee hundeessan. Qabxii jalqabaa cimaa tokko qabaachuun, kan inni irra caalaan guyyicha fannoo irratti hundaaʼe tureen, isaan achumaan ragaa raajii isuma isaan 1843 adda baasuuf itti fayyadamaa turan sana, dhugumaan 1844 qofa utuu hin taʼin, guyyaa mataa isaa jechuunis Onkololeessa 22, 1844 adda baasa jechuun argan.

After the second and Great Disappointment, the Lord once again revealed a truth which answered all the prophetic dilemmas created by their incorrect proclamation that October 22, 1844 was the Second Coming of Christ. The Lord opened the subject of the Sanctuary, and its connected truths, and the Great Disappointment was explained.

> “As a people, we should be earnest students of prophecy; we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in 1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there performing the closing work of his priestly office, in fulfillment of the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’

> “Our faith in reference to the messages of the first, second, and third angels was correct. The great way-marks we have passed are immovable. Although the hosts of hell may try to tear them from their foundation, and triumph in the thought that they have succeeded, yet they do not succeed. These pillars of truth stand firm as the eternal hills, unmoved by all the efforts of men combined with those of Satan and his host. We can learn much, and should be constantly searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so. God’s people are now to have their eyes fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going forward,—where he is interceding for his people.” Review and Herald, November 27, 1883.

> “Amantii keenya ergaawwan ergamoota isa jalqabaa, isa lammaffaa, fi isa sadaffaa wajjin walqabatee sirrii ture. Mallattoowwan gurguddoon karaa keenya irratti darbine hin socho’an.

The disappointment of the disciples at the crucifixion was based upon an incorrect understanding of the kingdom which Christ was to establish at the cross. John the Baptist and the apostle Paul’s ministries included the work of identifying that the dispensation of literal Israel and the literal earthly sanctuary had transitioned unto spiritual Israel and the spiritual heavenly sanctuary. The Lion of the tribe of Judah always explains the disappointment to the “wise.” The explanation of the prophetic riddle of Rome being “the eighth, but is of the seven”, is part of the work the Lion of Judah is accomplishing to explain the disappointment of July 18, 2020.

Duub-deebiin bartootaa yeroo fannifamuu irratti hundaa’e hubannaa sirrii hin taane mootummaa Kiristoos fannoo irratti dhaabuuf jedhu irratti ture.

The Millerites saw Rome as the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and they saw the distinction between paganism and papalism, but could not see papal Rome as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Shortly after 1844, the pioneers saw that the United States was the next kingdom of Bible prophecy.

Milleritootni Roomiin mootummaa afuraffaa raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu taʼee akka taʼe argan; akkasumas garaagarummaa waaqeffannaa mootummaa fi paappasummaa gidduu jiru hubatan; garuu Roomiin paappasummaa mootummaa shanaffaa raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu taʼee akka taʼe arguu hin dandeenye. Waxabajjii 1844 booddee yeroo muraasa keessatti, abbootiin hojii jalqabaa Ameerikaan mootummaa itti aanuu raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu taʼee akka taʼe hubatan.

That recognition is represented upon the 1850 pioneer chart, but their ability to recognize the full illustration of the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, as represented in Revelation chapter seventeen, was beyond their ability to comprehend, for they began to wander in the wilderness of Laodicea after their rejection of the “seven times” in 1863.

Beekamtiin sun kaartii qajeelchitoota duraanii bara 1850 irratti argisiifamteera; garuu dandeettiin isaanii fakkeenya guutuu mootummaawwan raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu, akkuma Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha torba keessatti ibsame sana beekuu fi hubachuu, humna hubannaa isaanii ol ture; sababiin isaas, isaan erga bara 1863 keessatti “yeroo torba” didanii booda, lafa onaa Laa’odiiqeyaa keessatti jooruu jalqaban.

> “The history of ancient Israel is a striking illustration of the past experience of the Adventist body. God led His people in the advent movement, even as He led the children of Israel from Egypt. In the great disappointment their faith was tested as was that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea. Had they still trusted to the guiding hand that had been with them in their past experience, they would have seen the salvation of God. If all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts. A flood of light would have been shed upon the world. Years ago the inhabitants of the earth would have been warned, the closing work completed, and Christ would have come for the redemption of His people.

> “Seenaa Israa’el durii muuxannoo darbe qaama Adventistotaa ibsa baay’ee ifa ta’eedha.

> “It was not the will of God that Israel should wander forty years in the wilderness; He desired to lead them directly to the land of Canaan and establish them there, a holy, happy people. But ‘they could not enter in because of unbelief.’ Hebrews 3:19. Because of their backsliding and apostasy they perished in the desert, and others were raised up to enter the Promised Land. In like manner, it was not the will of God that the coming of Christ should be so long delayed and His people should remain so many years in this world of sin and sorrow. But unbelief separated them from God. As they refused to do the work which He had appointed them, others were raised up to proclaim the message. In mercy to the world, Jesus delays His coming, that sinners may have an opportunity to hear the warning and find in Him a shelter before the wrath of God shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 458.

> “Waaqayyoon Israa’el waggaa afurtama lafa onaa keessatti akka joora’an fedhii Isaa hin turre; Inni gara biyya Kana’aanitti kallattiidhaan isaan geessuu fi achitti saba qulqulluu, gammadaa ta’anii akka hundeeffaman barbaade. Garuu, ‘isaan amantii dhabuu isaanii irraa kan ka’e seenuu hin dandeenye.’ Ibroota 3:19. Sababii duubatti deebi’uu isaanii fi gantummaa isaaniitiif lafa onaa keessatti badan; kaan immoo Biyya Abdachiifamtetti akka seenan kaafaman.

James and Ellen White both identified that the movement had transitioned into the movement of Laodicea in 1856, and in the previous passage she identifies that “if all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel’s message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts.” Then she says, “In like manner,” the “backsliding and apostasy” that ancient Israel manifested, caused ancient Israel to “perish in the desert.” The passage is identifying that Laodicean Adventism began to wander in the wilderness in the time period when those who had proclaimed the message of the Midnight Cry were still alive.

Today the theologians (the learned) identify various applications for Revelation chapter seventeen, that are either derived from the methodology of futurism that was invented by the Jesuits, or the corrupted theological practices of apostate Protestantism. The symbols of Revelation seventeen, are very simple. We have identified the necessary symbols, so we will return to the kingdoms represented there and align them with the kingdoms of Daniel chapter two, for Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

Harʼa namoonni teoloojii (barattonni) ibsa garaa garaa Mulʼata boqonnaa kudha torbaaf kennu; isaanis yookaan mala futuurizimii jechuun, kan Yezuwiiwwan kalaqan irraa maddu, yookaan hojii teoloojii mancaʼe kan Pirootestaantizimii gantummaa irraa kaʼe irratti hundaaʼu.

> And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:10–12.

> Akkasumas mootumman ni jiru: shanan isaanii kufaniiru, inni tokko immoo jira, inni kaan garuu amma iyyuu hin dhufne; yeroo inni dhufuttis, yeroo gabaabaa tokkoof turuu qaba. Bineensi inni turee amma hin jirre sun immoo, inni mataan isaa saddeettaffaa dha; inni torban keessaa ti; gara badiisatti immoo deema. Gaanfonni kudhan ati argite sun mootota kudhan dha; isaan amma iyyuu mootummaa hin arganne; garuu bineensa wajjin sa’aatii tokkoof akka moototaatti aangoo ni fudhatu. Mul’ata 17:10–12.

In verse three, John was spiritually conveyed to 1798. At that vantage point in history, he was told that there were five kingdoms that had already fallen. Those kingdoms were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, pagan Rome and papal Rome. William Miller could not unravel this passage in chapter seventeen, for he could not recognize that papal Rome was a distinct kingdom from pagan Rome. Yet the sequence is addressed in chapters twelve and thirteen of Revelation, for the dragon in chapter twelve represented pagan Rome, the beast that came from the sea in chapter thirteen was the papacy and the earth beast is the United States. Sister White identifies all three of these beasts as the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. In providing her testimony she identifies the sequence of the kingdoms, and the sequence agrees with the application we are making of Revelation seventeen.

> “Under the symbols of a great red dragon, a leopard-like beast, and a beast with lamblike horns, the earthly governments which would especially engage in trampling upon God’s law and persecuting His people, were presented to John. The war is carried on till the close of time. The people of God, symbolized by a holy woman and her children, were represented as greatly in the minority. In the last days only a remnant still existed. Of these John speaks as they ‘which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.’

> “Mallattoo diimaa guddaa diimaa, bineensa qamalee fakkaatu, fi bineensa gaanfa hoolaa fakkaatu qabu jedhu jalatti, mootummaawwan lafaa kanneen addatti seera Waaqayyoo irra ejjechuu fi saba Isaa ariʼachuudhaan hirmaatan, Yohannisitti mulʼifaman.

> “Through paganism, and then through the Papacy, Satan exerted his power for many centuries in an effort to blot from the earth God’s faithful witnesses. Pagans and papists were actuated by the same dragon spirit. They differed only in that the Papacy, making a pretense of serving God, was the more dangerous and cruel foe. Through the agency of Romanism, Satan took the world captive. The professed church of God was swept into the ranks of this delusion, and for more than a thousand years the people of God suffered under the dragon’s ire. And when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.

> “ሰይጣን በአረማውያንነት አማካይነት፣ ከዚያም በጳጳሳዊ ሥርዓት አማካይነት፣ የእግዚአብሔርን ታማኝ ምስክሮች ከምድር ላይ ለማጥፋት በጥረት ለብዙ ምዕተ ዓመታት ኃይሉን አሳየ። አረማውያንና ጳጳሳውያን በአንድና በዚያው የዘንዶ መንፈስ ይነዱ ነበር። የተለዩት በዚህ ብቻ ነበር፤ ጳጳሳዊ ሥርዓቱ እግዚአብሔርን እንደሚያገለግል ማስመሰል ስላደረገ፣ ከሁሉ ይልቅ አደገኛና ጨካኝ ጠላት ሆነ። ሰይጣን በሮማዊ ሥርዓት አማካይነት ዓለምን ምርኮ አደረገ። እግዚአብሔርን እንደምታመልክ የምትናገረው ቤተ ክርስቲያን ወደዚህ ማታለያ ሰራዊት ተጠራርጋ ገባች፣ እናም ከአንድ ሺህ ዓመታት በላይ የእግዚአብሔር ሕዝብ በዘንዶው ቍጣ ሥር መከራ ተቀበለ። ጳጳሳዊ ሥርዓቱም ኃይሉን ከተነጠቀ በኋላ ስደትን ለመቀጠል ሳይችል በተገደደ ጊዜ፣ ዮሐንስ የዘንዶውን ድምፅ የሚያስተጋባ እና ያውኑ ጨካኝና ስድብ የሞላበት ሥራ የሚያስቀጥል አዲስ ኃይል ሲወጣ አየ። ይህ ኃይል፣ በቤተ ክርስቲያንና በእግዚአብሔር ሕግ ላይ ጦርነት የሚከፍት የመጨረሻው ኃይል፣ እንደ በግ ቀንዶች ያሉት ቀንዶች ባሉት አውሬ ተመስሎ ተወክሎ ነበር።”

> “But the stern tracing of the prophetic pencil reveals a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, and that “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.” Thus Protestantism follows in the steps of the Papacy.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

> “Garuu sararaan jabaan qalama raajii mul’isa sagalee naga-qabeessa kana keessatti jijjiirama akka jiru. Bineensi gaanfa akka hoolaa qabu sagalee ajjeechaa qabaata; innis “humna bineensa isa jalqabaa isa fuuldura isaa jiru hundumaa hojiirra oolcha.” Raajiin akka inni warra lafa irra jiraatanitti fakkii bineensichaaf akka tolchan jedhu ni beeksisa; akkasumas, “inni xinnaa fi guddaa, sooressa fi hiyyeessa, bilisa ba’aa fi garba, hundumaa harka isaanii mirga irratti yookaan adda isaanii irratti mallattoo akka fudhatan godha; namni kam iyyuu, inni mallattoo sana, yookaan maqaa bineensichaa, yookaan lakkoofsa maqaa isaa qabaatu malee, bituu yookaan gurguruu akka hin dandeenye godha.” Kanaafuu Pirootestaantizimiin tarkaanfii Paaphaasummaa duukaa bu’a.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

In the first paragraph of the last passage, Sister White identifies pagan Rome, papal Rome and the United States as “earthly governments.” In the second paragraph she identifies that the governments were sequential when she says, “through paganism, and then through the Papacy,” and “when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work.” She does not stop there though, for in the third paragraph she identifies that the United States was to force another kingdom upon the entire world. She says, “The beast with lamblike horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ Prophecy declares that he will say to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast.”

keewwata dhumaa keessaa keewwata jalqabaa keessatti, Obboleettiin White Roomaa waaqeffannaa isaanii kan ta’e, Roomaa papaasummaa fi Ameerikaa “mootummoota lafarra jiran” jechuun adda baasti. Keewwata lammaffaa keessatti immoo, yeroo isheen, “waaqeffannaa sobaatiin, achiis Phaaphaasummaadhaan,” jettutti fi, “yommuu Phaaphaasummaan humna isaa irraa saamamee ari’atama irraa of qusachuuf dirqame, Yohaannis aangoo haaraa sagalee jawwee sana ni echo gochaa, hojii suukanneessaa fi Waaqayyoon arrabsu sana immoo itti fufuuf ol ka’aa jiru arge” jettutti, mootummaawwan sun wal irraa aananii dhufan ta’uu isaanii ifa gooti.

Isheen akkana jetti, “Bineensi gaanfa hoolaa fakkaatan qabu sagalee jawweetiin dubbata; akkasumas ‘humna bineensa isa duraa sana hundumaa isa duratti hojjeta.’ Raajii akka inni warra lafa irra jiraatanitti akka fakkii bineensichaaf tolchan itti himu beeksisa.”

Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify pagan Rome, papal Rome, the United States and the world image of the beast, that is set up by the United States. The definition of the “image of the beast” is the combination of Church and State, and for the entire world to set up an image of the beast, by definition it identifies that in the last days, a one-world government will be forced upon the entire earth. The kingdom will consist of a State and a Church, with the Church ruling over the relationship. Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, identify four sequential kingdoms, and those same kingdoms are represented in chapter seventeen, and also in Daniel chapter two.

In 1798, John saw the first five kingdoms of Bible prophecy had already fallen, and that in 1798, one kingdom then existed. The kingdom of Bible prophecy that began in 1798, was the earth beast of Revelation thirteen, that began as a lamb, but ends up speaking as a dragon. The United States is the two-horned sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, that follows the fifth kingdom of spiritual Babylon that had received a deadly wound. The fifth kingdom was spiritual Babylon, who had been typified by the first kingdom of literal Babylon. The sixth kingdom with two horns had been typified by the two arms of silver.

Bara 1798tti Yohaannis mootummoonni jalqabaa shanan raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessaa duraanuu kufanii akka turan, akkasumas bara 1798tti mootummaan tokko yeroo sana akka ture arge. Mootummaan raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu kan bara 1798tti jalqabe, bineensa lafaa Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha sadii keessatti ibsame sana ture; inni akka hoolaa jalqaba, garuu dhuma irratti akka jawwee dubbata. Ameerikaan Gamtoomte mootummaa ja’affaa gaanfa lama qabu kan raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessaa taatee, mootummaa shanaffaa jechuun Baabilon hafuuraa, kan madaa du’aa argate sana ni hordofti. Mootummaan shanaffaan Baabilon hafuuraa ture; isheen mootummaa jalqabaa jechuun Baabilon dhugaa ta’een fakkeeffamtee turte. Mootummaan ja’affaan gaanfa lama qabu harka lama meetiitiin fakkeeffamee ture.

In 1798, there was to be a kingdom that was yet in the future, for in 1798, “the other is not yet come.” When that seventh kingdom came into history, it would only “continue a short space.” The fifth kingdom received a deadly wound, the sixth kingdom had two horns and the seventh kingdom only continues for a brief period of time. The context of the passage identified that the seventh kingdom is represented by the “ten kings”, for when the “ten kings” become a kingdom, they only rule for “one hour,” and one “hour” is a short “space.” When the “ten kings” do reign, they rule together for the “one hour” with the beast.

Bara 1798tti, mootummaan gara fuulduraatti taʼu tokko jiraachuu qaba ture; sababiin isaas bara 1798tti, “inni kaan amma iyyuu hin dhufne” ture. Mootummaan torbaffaan sun yeroo seenaatti dhufu, “iddoo gabaabaa” qofa itti fufa ture. Mootummaan shanaffaan madaa duʼaa argate, mootummaan ja’affaan gaanfota lama qaba ture, mootummaan torbaffaan immoo yeroo gabaabaa qofa itti fufa. Haalli dubbichaa mootummaan torbaffaan “mootota kudhan”iin bakka buʼame akka taʼe adda baase; sababiin isaas yeroo “mootonni kudhan” sun mootummaa taʼan, isaan “saʼaatii tokko” qofa bulchu, “saʼaatiin” tokko immoo “iddoo” gabaabaa dha. Yeroo “mootonni kudhan” sun mootummaa isaanii geggeessan, isaan bineensicha wajjin “saʼaatii tokko” sanaaf walumaan bulchu.

> And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:12.

> Gaanfi kudhan ati argite sun mootota kudhan; isaan hamma ammaatti mootummaa hin fudhanne; garuu bineensicha wajjin saʼaatii tokkoof akka moototaatti aangoo ni fudhatu. Mul’ata Yohaannis 17:12.

The “ten horns” are the seventh kingdom, but they rule together with the beast for “one hour”. The “one hour” is the period of the Sunday law crisis that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. They agree to rule with the beast, for they are forced to do so by the primary king, which is the United States. Sister White in the passage we just cited, identifies that the last power to persecute God’s people is the earth beast.

“gaanfi kudhan” mootummicha torbaffaadha, garuu isaan bineensicha wajjin “saʼaatii tokkoof” bulchu. “Saʼaatiin tokko” yeroo rakkoo seera Dilbataa isa seera Dilbataa yeroo dhihoo keessatti Yunaayitid Isteetis keessatti dhufu irraa jalqabamu dha. Isaan bineensicha wajjin bulchuuf walii galu, mootummaa isa jalqabaa, jechuunis Yunaayitid Isteetis, irraa waan dirqamaniif. Obboleettii Waayit kutaa amma tuqne keessatti, aangoo Waaqayyoo saba isaa ariʼatu inni dhumaa bineensa lafaa akka taʼe adda baasti.

> “John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

> “Yohaannis sagalee ajajichaa irra deebi’ee dubbachuuf, hojii hammee fi arrabsoo Waaqayyoo sanauma itti fufuuf aangoo haaraa ol ka’aa jiru arge. Aangoon kun, isa dhumaa kan waldaa kiristaanaa fi seera Waaqayyoo irratti waraana godhu, bineensa gaanfa hoolaa fakkaatan qabuun fakkeeffamee ture.” Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.

The last kingdom of Bible prophecy is brought about through the deception accomplished by the United States, as the False Prophet. The kingdom began as a lamb in 1798, but in the last days it forces the world to accept the worldwide image of the beast, which is by definition the combination of a Church and a State with the Church in control of the relationship. That kingdom is also identified as a three-fold union.

Mootummaan xumuraa raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessatti ibsame, Ameerikaan akka Raajii Sobaa taatee raawwatteen gowwoomsaan fidama. Mootummaan sun bara 1798 keessatti akka hoolaatti jalqabe; garuu guyyoota dhumaa keessatti addunyaan guutuun fakkii bineensichaa kan addunyaa maratti diriire akka fudhatu dirqisiisa; kunis hiika isaatiin Waldaa fi Mootummaa walitti makamuu, walitti dhufeenya sana keessatti Waldaan to’annoo qabduudha. Mootummaan sun akkasumas tokkummaa sadii-foldii ta’ee ni beekama.

> “The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.

> “Pirootestaantoonni Ameerikaa warri Yunaayitid Isteetis keessa jiran, harka isaanii handhuura qileensaa sana ceesisanii harka Hafuurummaa qabachuuf diriirsu keessatti warra dura bu’an ta’u; boolla gad fagoo sana irra darbanii humna Roomaa wajjin harka wal qabatu; walitti dhufeenya sadarkaa sadii kanaa dhiibbaa jalattis, biyyi kun mirga qalbii namaa miidhuudhaan faana Roomaa ni hordofti.” The Great Controversy, 588.

The threefold union is the union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, which in Revelation sixteen go forth to the kings of the earth and lead the world to Armageddon.

Tokkummaan marsaa sadii jechuun walitti dhufeenya jawwee, bineensaa fi raajii sobaa ti; isaanis Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha jaha keessatti gara mootota lafaa dhaquudhaan addunyaa gara Armagedoonitti geessu.

> 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. Revelation 16:13, 14.

> И я видел, как из уст дракона, и из уст зверя, и из уст лжепророка вышли три нечистых духа, подобных жабам. Ибо это — духи бесовские, творящие знамения; они выходят к царям земли и всей вселенной, чтобы собрать их на брань в оный великий день Бога Вседержителя. Откровение 16:13, 14.

The “Roman power” is the papacy, the beast and the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy that received a deadly wound. The “Protestants” represent the United States, the false prophet, the sixth and final kingdom of Bible prophecy. “Spiritualism” is the United Nations, the dragon and the kingdom that agrees to rule for one hour with the beast. The threefold union is accomplished during the “one hour” that is the “hour” of the “great earthquake” in Revelation eleven, which is the soon-coming Sunday law.

“Humni Roomaa” jechuun papasummaa, bineensa fi mootummaa shanaffaa raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessatti ibsame kan madaa du’aa argate dha. “Pirootestaantoonni” Ameerikaa Yunaayitid Isteets, raajii sobaa, mootummaa ja’affaa fi mootummaa dhumaa raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessatti ibsame bakka bu’u. “Hafuurota amanuun” Dhaabbata Mootummoota Gamtoomanii, jawwee fi mootummaa sa’aatii tokkoof bineensa wajjin bulchuuf walii galu dha.

> “By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

> “Seeraa dhaabuu Papaasummaa seera Waaqayyoo cabsuun hojii irra oolchuun, biyya keenya guutummaatti qajeelummaa irraa of kutti.

In Daniel chapter two, Babylon, the first kingdom of Bible prophecy represented by the head of gold, typifies spiritual Babylon, the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The twofold kingdom of the Medes and Persians, the shoulders and arms of silver, the second kingdom of Bible prophecy in Daniel two, represents the two-horned earth beast, the United States, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The brass of the image of Daniel two, representing Greece, the third kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the United Nations, the seventh head that continues for “one hour”, and that agrees to accept a position in the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet.

The iron kingdom of Daniel chapter two, the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven. Literal pagan Rome, the fourth kingdom, represents modern Rome, which is a kingdom that is structured with the combination of Church and State, with the Church ruling over the relationship. That kingdom is threefold in nature, for the premier king of the “ten kings” is the sixth kingdom which is the earth beast. The sixth kingdom is Ahab, who was married to Jezebel. The sixth kingdom when represented in its threefold union is modern Rome, that was preceded by the fifth kingdom that was papal Rome, which was preceded by the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome.

Mootummaan sibiilaa kan Daani’el boqonnaa lammaffaa keessatti ibsame, mootummaa afuraffaa raajii Macaafa Qulqulluu keessaa, mootummaa saddeettaffaa, jechuunis isa keessaa torban keessaa tokko taʼe, bakka buʼa. Roomaan waaqeffannaa tolfamaa dhugaa, mootummaan afuraffaan, Roomaa ammayyaa bakka buʼti; isheen mootummaa walitti makama Mana Kiristaanaa fi Mootummaaatiin ijaarame dha; keessatti, Manni Kiristaanaa walitti dhufeenya sana irratti mootummaa qaba. Mootummaan sun uumama saddeettaffaa qaba; sababiin isaas mootichi dura dhaabbataa “mootota kudhanii” keessaa mootummaa jaʼaffaa, jechuunis bineensa lafaa ti. Mootummaan jaʼaffaan Ahaab dha; inni Izebeeliin fuudhe ture. Mootummaan jaʼaffaan yeroo walitti dhufeenya isaa saddeettaffaa keessatti bakka buʼu, Roomaa ammayyaa dha; isheen mootummaa shanaffaa, jechuunis Roomaa paappaasummaa, ishee dura tureen dura darbitee turte; isheenis mootummaa afuraffaa, Roomaa waaqeffannaa tolfamaa, ishee dura tureen dura darbitee turte.

The Millerites only saw Rome as the fourth and final kingdom. They recognized it was twofold in nature, but could see no other following earthly kingdom. The fourth kingdom was pagan Rome, which preceded papal Rome the fifth kingdom, that is followed by modern Rome the sixth kingdom. The sixth kingdom is the third of three Roman manifestations.

Warri Milleriteen mootummaa afraffaa fi mootummaa isa dhumaa taʼee jiru akka Room qofaatti argan. Innis uumama isaatiin dachaa taʼuu isaa ni hubatan ture, garuu mootummaa lafa irraa itti aanu biraa tokko illee arguu hin dandeenye. Mootummaan afraffaan Room warraaqsaa durii ture; inni Room paappaasummaa, mootummaa shanaffaa, dura buʼe; mootummaa shanaffaan sunis Room ammayyaa, mootummaa jaʼaffaa, hordofama. Mootummaan jaʼaffaan mulʼatawwan Room sadii keessaa isa sadaffaa dha.

The threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet is both modern Rome and also Babylon the Great, whose deadly wound is healed. The United States, the United Nations and the whore of Tyre represent the eighth and final kingdom, but they are all three allies in the threefold union of the sixth kingdom, which is the last power “to wage war against the church and the law of God.”

Tokkummaan sadeen ajajaichaa, bineensichaa fi raajii sobaa jechuun yeroo ammaa Roomaa akkasumas Baabilon Guddittii, kan madaan ishii du’a geessu fayye, dha. Ameerikaan Tokkummaan, Dhaabbanni Mootummoota Gamtoomanii, fi sagaagaltuun Xiiros mootummaa saddeettaffaa fi isa dhumaa bakka bu’u; garuu hundi isaanii sadeen kun mootummaa ja’affaa keessaa tokkummaa sadeenii keessatti michoota, humna isa dhumaa “waldaa fi seera Waaqayyoo irratti lola kaasu” ta’an.

The United States is one-third of the sixth kingdom. The United Nations, as part of the threefold union, is also one-third of the sixth kingdom, and the papacy is also one-third of the sixth kingdom. At this level the number for the United States is SIX, and the number for the United Nations is SIX and the number of the papacy is SIX. The threefold union represents the number of a man, the “man of sin”, and his number is SIX-SIX-SIX.

Ameerikaanonni Tokkummaa mootummaa ja’affaa keessaa harka sadii keessaa tokko dha. Mootummoonni Gamtoomanis, akka kutaa gamtaa sadan keessaa tokkootti, mootummaa ja’affaa keessaa harka sadii keessaa tokko dha; papaanis mootummaa ja’affaa keessaa harka sadii keessaa tokko dha. Sadarkaa kana irratti lakkoofsi Ameerikaanonni Tokkummaaf JAHAA dha; lakkoofsi Mootummoota Gamtoomaniifis JAHAA dha; lakkoofsi papummaatiifis JAHAA dha. Gamtaan sadan sun lakkoofsa nama tokkoo, “nama cubbuu,” agarsiisa; lakkoofsi isaas JAHAA-JAHAA-JAHAA dha.

> 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 13:18.

The sixth and final separate kingdom is the United States, but it deceives the world, for it is the False Prophet.

Mootummaan addaa jahaffaa fi isa dhumaa Ameerikaa Dhaabbata Tokkummaa dha, garuu inni Addunyaa ni soba; sababiin isaas inni Raajii Sobaadha.

> 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. Revelation 13:12–14.

> Innisis bineensi isa jalqabaa sana hundumaa fuula isaa duratti hojjeta; warra lafa irra jiraatanis bineensa isa jalqabaa, isa madaan duʼaa isaa fayye sana, akka sagadaniif dirqisiisa. Inni dinqiiwwan gurguddoos ni hojjeta; kanaafis fuula namootaa duratti ibidda samii irraa gara lafaa akka buʼu godha. Dinqiiwwan sana, isa fuula bineensichaa duratti gochuuf aangoo qabuun, warra lafa irra jiraatan ni gowwoomsa; akkasumas warra lafa irra jiraatanitti, bineensa isa billaan madaaʼe taʼus lubbuudhaan jiraate sanaaf fakkii akka tolchan in jedha. Mulʼata 13:12–14.

The “power of the first beast before him,” represents the power that was given to the papacy by the kings of Europe, beginning with Clovis in the year 496. The United States uses its military might, accompanied by its economic might to deceive and coerce the world. The United States forces the world to worship the papacy, through the enforcement of Sunday worship. The United States performs great wonders by making fire, (a symbol of a message) to come down out of heaven, that is to be accomplished by the Information Super-Highway, that represents the full development of brainwashing and propaganda, that is the modern manifestation of hypnosis. Because of the escalating crisis brought upon the earth by Islam, as they fulfill their role in angering the nations, the world is deceived to accept the worldwide system of the combination of Church and State that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

“Humni bineensa jalqabaa isa dura turee” jechuun humna bara 496 keessa mootiiwwan Awurooppaa, Clovis irraa jalqabee, paaphaasummaadhaaf kennan agarsiisa.

When verse eighteen of Revelation thirteen says count the number of the beast, the number is the three powers that come together to make up the sixth and final kingdom. When that kingdom of 666, is put in place, it will be the fulfillment of the prophetic riddle that the eighth king is of the seven. That prophetic riddle is part of the truth that is unsealed when the Lion of the tribe of Judah, unseals the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Yommuu lakkoofsi kudha saddeetffaa Mul’ata boqonnaa kudha sadii keessatti “lakkoobsa bineensichaa lakkaaʼaa” jedhu, lakkoobsi sun humnoota sadii walitti dhufanii mootummaa ja’affaa fi isa dhumaa ijaaran dha. Mootummaan sun, kan 666 taʼe, yeroo hundeeffamutti, hiika raajii dhokataa sanaa guutuu isaa ta’a; innis mootichi saddeettaffaan torban keessaa akka ta’e jedhu. Gaaffiin dhokataan raajii sunis dhugaa keessaa isa yeroo Leencichi qomoo Yihuudaa keessaa ta’e Mul’ata Yesuus Kiristoos hiikutti saaqamu keessaa isa tokko dha.

For this reason the riddle of the final kingdom that is the threefold sixth kingdom, that is also spiritual Babylon that was forgotten for seventy symbolic years, and who is modern Rome, and who is also the worldwide image of the beast, who was typified by the first kingdom of Babylon, and the fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, is twice witnessed to by the identification that it is the “wise” that will understand this truth, for the enigma of 666, is premised upon those who have wisdom, as is the enigma of the eighth king being of the seven.

Kanaaf jecha kanaatiif, hibbuun mootummaa dhumaa kan mootummaa ja’affaa sadii ta’e, jechuunis Baabilon hafuuraa kan waggoota mallattoo torbaatamaaf dagatamte, akkasumas Roomaa ammayyaa taate, akkasumas fakkii bineensichaa addunyaa maraa taate, kan mootummaa jalqabaa Baabilonii fi mootummaa afraffaa Roomaa warra waaqeffataa fakkeenyaan agarsiifamte, “ogeeyyiin” dhugaa kana ni hubatu jedhamuun yeroo lamaaf ragaa itti ba’ameera; sababiin isaas, hibbuun 666 warra ogummaa qaban irratti hundaa’a, akkuma hibbuun mootichi saddeettaffaan keessaa torban ta’uu isaa irratti hundaa’etti.

> 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 13:18.

> Kunoo ogummaadha. Namni hubannaa qabu lakkoofsa bineensichaa haa lakkaa’u; inni lakkoofsa nama tokkooti; lakkoofsi isaas dhibba jaha, jahaatama ja’a, ja’a. Mul’ata Yohaannis 13:18.

> And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Revelation 17:9.

> Kanaas sammuu ogummaa qabu kana dha. Mataan torban sun tulluuwwan torba, kanneen dubartiin irra teessu dha. Mul’ata Yohaannis 17:9.

The unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is understood by the “wise,” not by the wicked. Both references of wisdom in the book of Revelation are about those who have “understanding,” and what the “wise” understand is the “increase of knowledge”. The “increase of knowledge” that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation that the eighth kingdom, which is the threefold kingdom of 666, is also represented in Daniel chapter two, for the jewels of Miller’s dream are to shine ten times brighter in the last days.

Mul’achuun Mul’ata Yesuus Kiristoos “ogeessota” tiin hubatama malee, hamootaatiin miti. Macaafa Mul’ataa keessatti wabiiwwan ogeessa ta’uu ilaalan lamaan isaanii iyyuu waa’ee warra “hubannaa” qabanii ti; wanti “ogeessotni” hubatanis “beekumsa dabaluu” dha. “Beekumsi dabaluu” inni Mul’ata Yesuus Kiristoos ta’e sun, mootummaan saddeettaffaan, inni mootummaa sadi-in-tokko 666 ta’e, immoo Daani’el boqonnaa lama keessatti akka bakka bu’etti mul’achuu isaa ti; sababiin isaas, dhagaan gatii guddaan abjuu Miller keessa jiran bara dhumaa keessatti yeroo kudhan caalaa ifuun isaanii ni qabu.

> “In the Revelation are portrayed the deep things of God. The very name given to its inspired pages, ‘the Revelation,’ contradicts the statement that this is a sealed book. A revelation is something revealed. The Lord Himself revealed to His servant the mysteries contained in this book, and He designs that they shall be open to the study of all. Its truths are addressed to those living in the last days of this earth’s history, as well as to those living in the days of John. Some of the scenes depicted in this prophecy are in the past, some are now taking place; some bring to view the close of the great conflict between the powers of darkness and the Prince of heaven, and some reveal the triumphs and joys of the redeemed in the earth made new.

> “Let none think, because they cannot explain the meaning of every symbol in the Revelation, that it is useless for them to search this book in an effort to know the meaning of the truth it contains. The One who revealed these mysteries to John will give to the diligent searcher for truth a foretaste of heavenly things. Those whose hearts are open to the reception of truth will be enabled to understand its teachings, and will be granted the blessing promised to those who ‘hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’

Inni iccitiiwwan kana Yohaannisitti mul’ise, barbaadaa dhugaatiif ciminaan qoratu sanaaf waa’ee wantoota samii dursanii mi’aawaa isaanii ni kenna. Warri garaan isaanii dhugaa fudhachuuf banaa ta’e, barsiisa isaa hubachuuf ni dandeessifamu; eebba immoo warra ‘dubbii raajii kanaa dhaga’anii, wantoota isa keessatti barreeffaman eeganiif’ abdachiifame ni argatu.”

> “In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.

> “Mul’ata keessatti kitaabni Macaafa Qulqulluu hundinuu walitti dhufanii achitti xumuramu. As keessatti guutuun kitaaba Daani’eel ni argama. Inni tokko raajii dha; inni kaan immoo mul’ata. Kitaabni chaappeffame Mul’ata miti, garuu kutaa raajii Daani’eel kan guyyoota dhumaa wajjin walqabatu dha. Ergamaanis akkana jechuun ajaje: ‘Ati garuu, yaa Daani’eel, dubbiiwwan sana cufi, kitaabas hamma yeroo dhumaatti chaappeessi.’ Daani’eel 12:4.” Hojii Ergamootaa, 584, 585.
