The prophetic characteristic of the dragon is confederation, as identified by Isaiah.

Chimiro cheuprofita chedhiragoni kubatana kwemarudzi, sezvakazivikanwa naIsaya.

> Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:9–16.

> Unganai imi vanhu, uye muchaputswa-pwanywa; inzwai, imi mose vari kunyika dziri kure: zvisungei zvombo, uye muchaputswa-pwanywa; zvisungei zvombo, uye muchaputswa-pwanywa. Ranganai zano pamwe chete, asi richashaya maturo; taurayi shoko, asi haringamiri, nokuti Mwari anesu. Nokuti Jehovha akataura kwandiri saizvozvo noruoko rune simba, akandirayira kuti ndirege kufamba munzira yavanhu ava, achiti, Musati, “Mubatanidzwa,” kune vose vanotaurwa navanhu ava kuti, “Mubatanidzwa”; uye musatya kutya kwavo, kana kuvhundutswa. Jehovha wehondo ndiye wamunofanira kutsvenesa; ndiye ngaave kutya kwenyu, uye ndiye ngaave chinhu chinokuvhundutsai. Iye achava nzvimbo tsvene; asiwo dombo rinogumbusa nedombo repamawere rinokanganisa dzimba dzose mbiri dzaIsraeri, musungo nechiteyeso kuvagari veJerusarema. Vazhinji pakati pavo vachagumburwa, vagowa, vapwanywe, vabatwe nemusungo, uye vatorwe. Sunga uchapupu, namira murayiro pakati pevadzidzi vangu. Isaya 8:9–16.

In the last days, in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, when Isaiah says, “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples,” there is an “evil confederacy” on planet earth. It is important to understand that the history of the United States leading to the Sunday law is prefiguring the same events on the global level.

Mumazuva okupedzisira, panguva yokuiswa chisimbiso kwezana nemakumi mana nezvina zvuru, apo Isaya anoti, “Sunga uchapupu, namatidza mutemo pakati pavadzidzi vangu,” pane “sangano rakaipa rokubatanidzana” panyika ino. Zvinokosha kunzwisisa kuti nhoroondo yeUnited States inotungamirira kumutemo weSvondo iri kufananidzira zviitiko zvimwe chetezvo pachiyero chenyika yose.

> “Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

> “Dzimwe ndudzi dzokunze dzichatevera muenzaniso weUnited States. Kunyange zvazvo iri iro rinotungamira, zvakadaro dambudziko rimwe chetero richawira pamusoro pavanhu vedu munzvimbo dzose dzenyika.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

Sister White carefully identifies who the “evil confederacy” is, and it represents the progressive liberalism of the modern globalists. As she does so, she repeatedly quotes the previous verses in Isaiah, which identify an evil confederacy during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Na White u swi lemukisa hi vukheta leswaku “nhlangano lowo biha” i mani, naswona wu yimela vukhomi bya ku ntshunxeka hi ku ya emahlweni bya va misava hinkwayo va manguva lawa. Loko a ri karhi a endla tano, u tshaha hi ku phindha-phindha tindzimana leti nga emahlweni eka Esaya, leti kombisaka nhlangano lowo biha hi nkarhi wa ku funghiwa ka lava dzana na mune wa makume mune wa magidi.

> “The Lord declares through the prophet Isaiah: Isaiah 8:9–13 quoted.

> Jehovha anozivisa kubudikidza nomuprofita Isaya: Isaya 8:9–13 yakatorwa.

> “There are those who question whether it is right for Christians to belong to the Free Masons and other secret societies. Let all such consider the scriptures just quoted. If we are Christians at all, we must be Christians everywhere, and must consider and heed the counsel given to make us Christians according to the standard of God’s Word.” Evangelism, 617, 618.

> “Kune avo vanobvunza kana zvakafanira kuti maKristu ave nhengo dzeFree Masons nedzimwe sangano dzakavanzika. Vose vakadaro ngavafungisise Magwaro achangobva kutaurwa. Kana tiri maKristu zvechokwadi, tinofanira kuva maKristu pose-pose, uye tinofanira kurangarira nokuteerera zano ratakapihwa kuti tiitwe maKristu maererano nechiyero cheShoko raMwari.” Evangelism, 617, 618.

The evil confederacy of the last days is associated with Freemasons, and other secret societies. Its religion is spiritualism, and it is made up of the world bankers and the billionaire merchants of the earth, who “centralize the wealth and power of the world,” and who promote such movements as Antifa and Black Lives Matter to foment “the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed” on a “world-wide scale,” in an effort to reproduce the anarchy of the “French Revolution.”

Ushirika ovu wa siku za mwisho unahusishwa na Wafreemasoni, na mashirika mengine ya siri. Dini yake ni uwasiliani-roho, nayo imeundwa na mabenki wa ulimwengu na wafanyabiashara mabilionea wa dunia, ambao “huweka mali na nguvu za ulimwengu chini ya kitovu kimoja,” na ambao huendeleza harakati kama vile Antifa na Black Lives Matter ili kuchochea “roho ya machafuko, ya ghasia na umwagaji damu” kwa “kiwango cha ulimwengu mzima,” katika jitihada ya kuzaa upya hali ya uasi wa “Mapinduzi ya Ufaransa.”

> “Spiritualism asserts that men are unfallen demigods; that ‘each mind will judge itself;’ that ‘true knowledge places men above all law;’ that ‘all sins committed are innocent;’ for ‘whatever is, is right,’ and ‘God doth not condemn.’ The basest of human beings it represents as in heaven, and highly exalted there. Thus it declares to all men, ‘It matters not what you do; live as you please, heaven is your home.’ Multitudes are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that license is liberty, and that man is accountable only to himself.

> “Ubuthikabhubhane bomoya buthi abantu bangonkulunkulu abancane abangazange bawe; ukuthi ‘ingqondo ngayinye iyozihlulela yona’; ukuthi ‘ulwazi lweqiniso lubeka abantu ngaphezu kwayo yonke imithetho’; ukuthi ‘zonke izono ezenziwayo azinacala;’ ngoba ‘noma yini ekhona, ilungile,’ futhi ‘uNkulunkulu akalahli cala.’ Umuntu oyisigqila sobubi kunabo bonke phakathi kwabantu bumveza njengosezulwini, futhi ephakanyiswe kakhulu khona. Ngaleyo ndlela bumemezela kubo bonke abantu ukuthi, ‘Akukhathalekile ukuthi wenzani; phila ngendlela othanda ngayo, izulu liyikhaya lakho.’ Ngaleyo ndlela izixuku eziningi ziholelwa ekukholweni ukuthi inkanuko ingumthetho ophakeme kunayo yonke, ukuthi ukuziphatha ngokungazibophi kuwukukhululeka, nokuthi umuntu unesibopho kuye yena kuphela.”

> “With such teaching given at the very outset of life, when impulse is strongest, and the demand for self-restraint and purity is most urgent, where are the safeguards of virtue? what is to prevent the world from becoming a second Sodom? At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France.” Education, 227, 228.

> “Ne dzidziso yakadai ichipiwa pakutanga chaipo kweupenyu, panguva iyo manyawi anenge aine simba zvikuru, uye apo kudiwa kwekuzvidzora nokuchena kunenge kuchinyanya kukurumidza, zvidziviriro zvehunhu zvipi zviripo? chii chingadzivisa nyika kuti irege kuva Sodhoma yechipiri? Panguva imwe cheteyo kusagadzikana kuri kutsvaka kubvisa mutemo wose, kwete chete waMwari, asiwo wavanhu. Kuunganidzwa kwepfuma nesimba pakati; kubatanidzwa kukuru-kuru kunoitirwa kupfumisa vashoma pachibhadharo chavazhinji; kubatanidzwa kwemapoka evarombo kuti adzivirire zvido zvawo nezvavanoti zvinovakodzera; mweya wokusagadzikana, wemhirizhonga nowokudeura ropa; kuparadzirwa pasi rose kwedzidziso idzodzo dzakafambisa Chimurenga cheFrance—zvose izvi zviri kutungamirira kuti nyika yose ipinde mukurwisana kwakafanana nekwakazunungusa France.” Education, 227, 228.

Any thoughtful person should ask themselves what goes on at meetings such as recently took place at Davos, where men express their plans for planet earth without any consideration of the rest of earth’s population? What secrets were there discussed? Of course, Davos is simply one of several secret restricted meetings of the world’s billionaires, bankers, corrupted politicians and morally perverse men who develop their exalted plans for planet earth.

Munhu upi noupi anofunga zvakadzama anofanira kuzvibvunza kuti chii chinoitika pamisangano yakadai seyakaitika munguva ichangopfuura kuDavos, uko varume vanotaura zvirongwa zvavo pamusoro penyika yose vasina hanya zvachose nevamwe vose vanogara panyika? Ndezvipi zvakavanzika zvakakurukurwa ipapo? Chokwadi, Davos ingori imwe chete yemisangano yakati wandei yakavanzika uye inopindwa navashoma, yemabhiriyonaire enyika, vemabhanga, vezvematongerwo enyika vakaora, navarume vane tsika dzakatsauka, avo vanogadzira zvirongwa zvavo zvakakwirira pamusoro penyika yose.

> “In these last days, there are arising strange fallacies and man-made theories which God declares shall be broken in pieces. The spirit of covetousness has led men to seek worldly advantage, and by extravagance and display they have tried to hide their wicked deeds which they have done in order to reach their object. Men occupying high positions of trust have revealed this unlawful desire for gain; they have practised extortion and robbery, and have gratified the evil passions of their hearts, until our cities are corrupted through their wickedness. God has declared that he will uncover these works of deceit and robbery by their own working. In some cases the judgments of God have already fallen heavily on these cities.

> “Mumazuva okupedzisira aya, pane kumuka manyepo anoshamisa nedzidziso dzakagadzirwa navanhu, izvo Mwari vanoti zvichapwanywa zvive zvidimbu. Mweya wokuchiva wakaita kuti vanhu vatsvage kubatsirwa kwenyika, uye nokupambadza nokuratidzira vakatsvaka kuviga mabasa avo akaipa avakaita kuti vasvike pachinangwa chavo. Vanhu vane nzvimbo dzakakwirira dzechivimbo vakaratidza chido ichi chisiri pamutemo chokuwana pfuma; vakaita zvokumanikidza nokupamba, uye vakagutsa kuchiva kwakaipa kwemwoyo yavo, kusvikira maguta edu asvibiswa nokuipa kwavo. Mwari vakazivisa kuti vachafukura mabasa aya okunyengetedza nokupamba nokushanda kwawo pachawo. Mune zvimwe zviitiko kutonga kwaMwari kwatowira pamusoro pamaguta aya nenzira inorema.”

The cities have been corrupted, as predicted in the previous passage, and that corruption is brought about by the evil confederacy of Isaiah chapter eight. They have been corrupted by, “men occupying high positions of trust” who “have revealed” their “unlawful desire for gain.” The corrupted cities are easily seen in states whose attorney generals have been elected by the funds of communists such as George Soros. It can be seen when established laws go un-enforced by corrupted politicians in Washington, DC. It can be seen by laws which are only employed against those on the other side of the political spectrum, as illustrated by persons such as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.

> In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isaiah 59:13–15.

> Mukutadzira nokurevera Jehovha nhema, nokutsauka kubva kuna Mwari wedu, nokutaura kumanikidza nokupandukira, nokufungira nokubudisa zvinobva pamwoyo mashoko enhema. Uye kutonga kwakadzoserwa shure, nokururamisira kwakamira kure; nokuti chokwadi chawira mumugwagwa, uye kururama hakugoni kupinda. Hongu, chokwadi chinoshayikwa; uye unotsauka pane zvakaipa anozviita chayabata: uye Jehovha akazviona, zvikamufadza zvisina kunaka kuti kwakanga kusina kutonga. Isaya 59:13–15.

In the previous passage from the Review and Herald, the men who occupy high positions of trust, identifies corrupted politicians whose Wall Street portfolios always exceed the best possible returns, because of their legislative work in legalizing “insider trading” for themselves, and no one else. Review the history of Martha Stewart. The cities in the passage are corrupted through their wickedness, and this is especially apparent in the cities and states governed by the globalist Democrats.

Mu ndime ibanjirije yo mu *Review and Herald*, abagabo bari mu myanya yo hejuru y’icyizere bagaragazwa nk’abanyapolitiki bononekaye, bafite impapuro z’ishoramari za Wall Street zihora zirenza inyungu nziza zishoboka z’abandi, bitewe n’umurimo wabo wo gushyiraho amategeko yemeza ko “insider trading” iba iyemewe kuri bo ubwabo, ariko ku bandi bose ikaba itemewe.

The evil confederacy in the last days consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, and the beast and false prophet have their own wicked prophetic characteristics, but the characteristics that are so apparent in liberal globalism are the traits of the dragon.

Mu masiku aumaliro, mgwirizano woipa uli ndi chinjoka, chilombo, ndi mneneri wonyenga; ndipo chilombo ndi mneneri wonyengayo ali ndi makhalidwe awoawo oyipa aulosi; koma makhalidwe amene akuoneka momveka kwambiri mu ukapitala wa padziko lonse waufulu ndiwo makhalidwe a chinjoka.

> “Revelation 17:13–14 quoted. ‘These have one mind.’ There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan’s forces. ‘And shall give their power and strength unto the beast.’ Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism.

> “Zvakazarurwa 17:13–14 zvakatorwa. ‘Ava vane moyo umwe.’ Kuchava nechisungo chokubatana chepasi rose, kuwirirana kukuru kumwe chete, mubatanidzwa wemauto aSatani. ‘Uye vachapa simba ravo noushe hwavo kuchikara.’ Saizvozvo zvinoonekwa simba rimwe chetero rokutonga nechisimba, rinodzvinyirira rusununguko rwechitendero, rusununguko rwokunamata Mwari maererano nezvinorairwa nehana, sezvakaratidzwa napapa, parakambotambudza avo vakatsunga kuramba kuenderana netsika nemhemberero dzechitendero cheRoma.”

> “In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God’s people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Law-giver identifies Himself as the Creator of the heavens and the earth.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 983.

We will consider the prophetic characteristics of the beast and apostate Protestantism in the following articles. It is important to identify what has been revealed concerning which political party is leading out and pulling the strings in the enforcement of Sunday legislation. Of course, both parties (Democrat and Republican) come together at the Sunday law issue, as did the Pharisees and Sadducees at the cross, but there is no justifiable reason to suggest that the label of Protestant or apostate Protestant can be associated with the Democratic party, for it is clearly the dragon power.

The history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the history where Isaiah’s evil confederacy of chapter eight is identified. That history began on September 11, 2001, when the fourth president, Bush the second, was in power. In that history the sixth president would arrive in 2016, and he would awaken (stir up) all the realm of Grecia, for he would awaken the world to the struggle between the dragon power and apostate Protestantism that accomplishes the work of restoring the beast to the throne of the earth.

The blind, unreasoning hatred against Trump is identified by many as a kind of insanity, for it is based on dishonesty and irrational logic. The world attempts to define the unjustifiable hatred for Trump, but the reality is that it is not a straightforward human insanity on the part of the globalists, it is the supernatural manifestation of the fulfillment of prophecy during the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Upofu usioona wala wa kufikiri dhidi ya Trump umetambuliwa na wengi kuwa ni aina ya wazimu, kwa maana umejengwa juu ya ukosefu wa uaminifu na mantiki isiyo ya kiakili. Ulimwengu hujaribu kufafanua chuki hiyo isiyo na msingi dhidi ya Trump, lakini ukweli ni kwamba si wazimu wa kawaida wa kibinadamu kwa upande wa watandawazi; bali ni udhihirisho wa kimbinguni wa kutimizwa kwa unabii katika historia ya kutiwa muhuri kwa wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu.

> “O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry! But many of those who should be proclaiming the truth are accusing and condemning their brethren. When the converting power of God comes upon minds, there will be a decided change. Men will have no inclination to criticize and tear down. They will not stand in a position that hinders the light from shining to the world. Their criticism, their accusing, will cease. The powers of the enemy are mustering for battle. Stern conflicts are before us. Press together, my brethren and sisters, press together. Bind up with Christ. ‘Say ye not, A confederacy, . . . neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.’

> “The world is a theater. The actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to his rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.

Islam of the third woe is about to strike “thousands of cities” and Laodicean Adventism has no sense of the impending destruction that is about to happen. In the time period when Isaiah’s evil confederacy is accomplishing its work, there is a satanic “power from beneath” that is “working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,” and these things come as an “overwhelming surprise.” The insanity exercised towards Trump is caused by a power from beneath. It is a component of the last scenes of earth’s history.

Uislamu wa ole wa tatu unakaribia kuyapiga “maelfu ya miji,” na Uadventista wa Laodikia hana utambuzi wowote wa maangamizi yanayokaribia kutokea. Katika kipindi cha wakati ambamo shirikisho ovu la Isaya linatimiza kazi yake, kuna “nguvu itokayo chini” ya kishetani ambayo “inatenda kazi ili kuyaleta matukio ya mwisho makuu katika tamthilia,” na mambo haya huja kama “mshangao wa kutisha.” Wazimu unaotendewa Trump unasababishwa na nguvu itokayo chini. Huo ni sehemu ya matukio ya mwisho ya historia ya dunia.

This should not be understood as an endorsement for Trump, it is simply God’s Word, which never fails. During the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand God is pouring out His power from on high, while Satan is exercising his power from beneath.

Sena a a fanelwa ku ri ku seketela Trump; i Rito ra Xikwembu ntsena, leri nga kanganyiki ni siku ni rin’we. Hi nkarhi wa ku funghiwa ka lava dzana na makume mune-makume mune wa magidi, Xikwembu xi le ku chululeni matimba ya xona lama humaka ehenhla, kasi Sathana u le ku tirhiseni matimba ya yena lama humaka ehansi.

> “If we would have the spirit and power of the third angel’s message, we must present the law and the gospel together, for they go hand in hand. As a power from beneath is stirring up the children of disobedience to make void the law of God, and to trample upon the truth that Christ is our righteousness, a power from above is moving upon the hearts of those who are loyal, to exalt the law, and to lift up Jesus as a complete Saviour. Unless divine power is brought into the experience of the people of God, false theories and ideas will take minds captive, Christ and His righteousness will be dropped out of the experience of many, and their faith will be without power or life.” Gospel Workers, 161.

> “Yatakuwa kwamba tuna roho na nguvu ya ujumbe wa malaika wa tatu, ni lazima tuwasilishe sheria na injili pamoja, kwa maana huenda sambamba. Kwa kuwa nguvu itokayo chini inawachochea watoto wa kutotii ili kuibatilisha sheria ya Mungu, na kulikanyaga kweli kwamba Kristo ndiye haki yetu, nguvu itokayo juu inatenda juu ya mioyo ya wale walio waaminifu, ili kuitukuza sheria, na kumwinua Yesu kama Mwokozi mkamilifu. Isipokuwa nguvu ya kiungu iletwe katika uzoefu wa watu wa Mungu, nadharia na mawazo ya uongo yatafanya akili kuwa mateka, Kristo na haki yake vitaondolewa katika uzoefu wa wengi, na imani yao itakuwa bila nguvu wala uhai.” Gospel Workers, 161.

The manifestation of Satanic power which occurs before, and leading up to the soon-coming Sunday law, typifies the crowning act of Satan’s power that occurs at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Kuwonekera kwa mphamvu ya Satana kumene kumachitika musanabwere, ndi kutsogolera ku lamulo la Sabata la Lamlungu limene likubwera posachedwa, kukuyimira pasadakhale ntchito yomaliza kwambiri ya mphamvu ya Satana imene idzachitike pa lamulo la Sabata la Lamlungu limene likubwera posachedwa.

> “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.

> “Nechirevo chinozosimbisa kugadzwa kweHupapa richityora mutemo waMwari, rudzi rwedu ruchazvibvisa zvizere pakururama. Kana chiPurotesitendi chachatambanudza ruoko rwacho kuyambuka mukaha kuti chibate ruoko rwesimba reRoma, kana chichayambukira pamusoro pegomba rakadzika kuti chibatane neMweya‑mweya, kana, pasi pesimba remubatanidzwa uyu une mativi matatu, nyika yedu icharamba nheyo dzose dzeBumbiro rayo sehurumende yechiPurotesitendi neyechirepubliki, uye ichagadzirira nzira yekuparadzirwa kwenhema nokunyengera kwehupapa, ipapo tingaziva kuti nguva yasvika yokushanda kunoshamisa kwaSatani uye kuti kuguma kwava pedyo.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

The motivation that is currently coming from beneath, and manifesting its activities in the globalist representatives of the dragon in the United States, will be reproduced in the nations of the world after the Sunday law arrives. Even now, the nations of the world are manifesting the same supernatural insanity over Trump.

Chisukumisiko icho panopa chiri kubuda kubva pasi, uye chiri kuratidza mabasa acho muvamiriri veglobalist vedhiragoni muUnited States, chichadzokororwa munyika dzepasi rose mushure mokunge mutemo weSvondo wasvika. Kunyange zvino, marudzi enyika ari kuratidza kupenga kumwe chete kunopfuura kwemasikirwo pamusoro paTrump.

> “Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

> “Nhyiaman a wofi aman foforo mu bedi United States nhwɛso akyi. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ɔno na odi anim, nanso ɔhaw koro no ara bɛba yɛn nkurɔfo so wɔ wiase afa nyinaa mu.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

What the Republicans of the United States define as insanity on the part of Democrats in their illogical opposition to Trump, is actually a supernatural manifestation of satanic power that is in fulfillment of Daniel chapter eleven, verse two. Trump, the sixth president since the time of the end in 1989 was to “stir up” (awaken), the socialistic globalists of the entire world. The hatred against him is supernatural, and it prefigures the manifestation of satanic power that arrives in greater magnitude at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Izvo republikanske stranke v Združenih državah opredeljujejo kot norost demokratov v njihovem nelogičnem nasprotovanju Trumpu, je v resnici nadnaravno razodetje satanske moči, ki se izpolnjuje po Danielu 11,2. Trump, šesti predsednik od časa konca leta 1989, naj bi »vznemiril« (prebudil) socialistične globaliste vsega sveta. Sovraštvo do njega je nadnaravno in je predpodoba razodetja satanske moči, ki bo v večji meri prišla ob kmalu prihajajočem nedeljskem zakonu.

The manifestation of the power from beneath, according to Sister White’s reference takes place during the evil confederation, which Isaiah warns about in chapter eight, and in that period the sealing of God’s people is occurring.

Kuoneshwa kwa nguvu zitokazo chini, kulingana na rejeo la Dada White, kunatukia wakati wa shirikisho ovu ambalo Isaya anaonya kulihusu katika sura ya nane, na katika kipindi hicho kutiwa muhuri kwa watu wa Mungu kunakuwako.

> Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Isaiah 8:16.

> Sunga ushuhuda, utie muhuri sheria kati ya wanafunzi wangu. Isaya 8:16.

> “Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons. The spirits of devils will go forth to the kings of the earth and to the whole world, to fasten them in deception, and urge them on to unite with Satan in his last struggle against the government of heaven. By these agencies, rulers and subjects will be alike deceived. Persons will arise pretending to be Christ Himself, and claiming the title and worship which belong to the world’s Redeemer. They will perform wonderful miracles of healing and will profess to have revelations from heaven contradicting the testimony of the Scriptures.

> “Zviono zvinotyisa zvine chimiro chepamusoro-soro zvichakurumidza kuratidzwa kumatenga, sechiratidzo chesimba remadhimoni anoita zvishamiso. Mweya yedhiabhorosi ichabuda ichienda kumadzimambo enyika nokunyika yose, kuti ivasungirire mukunyengerwa, uye ivakurudzire kubatana naSatani mukurwa kwake kwokupedzisira achipikisa hurumende yokudenga. Kubudikidza nezvishandiso izvi, vatongi navanotongwa vachanyengerwa zvakafanana. Vamwe vanhu vachamuka vachizviti ndiKristu pachake, uye vachizvipa zita nokunamatwa zvinofanira kuva zveMuponesi wenyika. Vachaita zvishamiso zvinoshamisa zvokuporesa uye vachataura kuti vane zaruriro dzinobva kudenga dzinopikisa uchapupu hweMagwaro.”

> “As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour’s advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. Revelation 1:13–15. The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: ‘Christ has come! Christ has come!’ The people prostrate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Saviour uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion. Like the Samaritans who were deceived by Simon Magus, the multitudes, from the least to the greatest, give heed to these sorceries, saying: This is ‘the great power of God.’ Acts 8:10.

> “Sezvo chiri chiito chinopfekedza korona mumutambo mukuru wokunyengera, Satani pachake achazviita saKristu. Kereke yagara ichizviti yakatarira kuuya kwoMuponesi sechizadziso chetariro dzayo.

Zvakazarurwa 1:13–15. Kubwinya kwakamutenderedza hakupfuurwi nechinhu chipi nechipi chakamboonekwa namaziso avanhu vanofa. Mheremhere yokukunda ichanzwika mumhepo ichiti: ‘Kristu auya!

Achataura kuti avo vanoramba vachichengeta zuva rechinomwe riri dzvene vari kunyomba zita rake nokuramba kuteerera vatumwa vake vakatumirwa kwavari nechiedza nechokwadi.

> “But the people of God will not be misled. The teachings of this false christ are not in accordance with the Scriptures. His blessing is pronounced upon the worshipers of the beast and his image, the very class upon whom the Bible declares that God’s unmingled wrath shall be poured out.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.

> “Asi vanhu vaMwari havangatadziswi. Dzidziso dzaKristu wenhema uyu hadzienderani neMagwaro. Kuropafadza kwake kunoparidzirwa pamusoro pevanonamata chikara nemufananidzo wacho, iro boka chairo iro Bhaibheri rinoti pamusoro paro kutsamwa kwaMwari kusina kusanganiswa kuchadururwa.” The Great Controversy, 624, 625.
