The book The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, was written by Malachi Martin, and it was first published in 1990. Martin examines the role of Pope John Paul II as a transformative figure in global politics and diplomacy during the latter half of the 20th century. He discusses the Pope’s role in the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. The book presents a Catholic perspective of the dynamics that brought about the fulfillment of verse forty of Daniel eleven, at the time of the end in 1989.

Bhuku rinonzi The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle for World Dominion Between Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the Capitalist West, rakanyorwa naMalachi Martin, uye rakatanga kubudiswa muna 1990. Martin anoongorora basa raPope John Paul II semunhu akachinja zvikuru zvematongerwo enyika enyika yose pamwe chete nezvekudyidzana kwenyika panguva yehafu yechipiri yezana remakore rechi20.

Bhuku iri rinopa maonero eRoma Katurike pamusoro pemasimba akaita kuti ndima yechina makumi mana yaDhanieri gumi neimwe izadziswe, panguva yokupedzisira muna 1989.

Martin analyzes the internal dynamics of the Soviet Union under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, particularly focusing on Gorbachev’s policies of “glasnost” (openness) and “perestroika” (restructuring). He discusses the challenges facing the Soviet Union and Gorbachev’s attempts to reform the Communist system. He explores the geopolitical tensions and power struggles between the Soviet Union (the king of the south—the dragon), the Catholic Church (the king of the north—the beast), and what he calls the capitalist West (the king of the north’s proxy army—the false prophet). He discusses the ideological conflicts, espionage, and covert operations that characterized the Cold War era and examines the efforts of various actors to shape the future of the world.

Martin anoongorora mafambiro emukati meSoviet Union pasi pehutungamiri hwaMikhail Gorbachev, achinyanya kutarisa pamitemo yaGorbachev ye“glasnost” (kuvhurika) ne“perestroika” (kuumbazve patsva). Anokurukura matambudziko akanga akatarisana neSoviet Union pamwe chete nekuedza kwaGorbachev kugadzirisa hurongwa hweCommunist. Anoongorora kusawirirana kwezvematongerwo enyika epasi rose pamwe nekurwira masimba pakati peSoviet Union (mambo wokumaodzanyemba—dhiragoni), Chechi yeKatorike (mambo wokuchamhembe—chikara), uye zvaanoti nyika dzeMadokero dzine hurongwa hwekapitalisiti (uto rinomiririra mambo wokuchamhembe—muporofita wenhema). Anokurukura kupesana kwemafungiro, ujasusi, pamwe chete nemabasa akavanzika aizivisa nguva yeHondo Yemashoko, uye anoongorora kuedza kwevatambi vakasiyana-siyana kuumba remangwana renyika.

Martin emphasizes the significance of Catholicism as a force in global politics and diplomacy. He argues that the Catholic Church, under the leadership of Pope John Paul II, played a pivotal role in shaping the course of history during this period and influencing the outcome of the Cold War. He places John Pauls’ influence in the context of the Marian apparitions at Fatima, Portugal, and identifies the influence of Fatima upon global events and the Catholic Church’s role in shaping the course of history. Martin suggests that the events at Fatima hold significant prophetic and geopolitical implications, particularly in the context of the Cold War era.

Martin anokoshesa umuhimu wa Ukatoliki kama nguvu katika siasa za dunia na diplomasia. Anasema kwamba Kanisa Katoliki, chini ya uongozi wa Papa John Paul II, lilitekeleza wajibu wa msingi sana katika kuunda mkondo wa historia katika kipindi hicho na katika kuathiri matokeo ya Vita Baridi. Anaweka ushawishi wa John Paul katika muktadha wa maono ya Mariamu huko Fatima, Ureno, na anatambua ushawishi wa Fatima juu ya matukio ya ulimwengu pamoja na nafasi ya Kanisa Katoliki katika kuunda mkondo wa historia. Martin anapendekeza kwamba matukio ya Fatima yana athari kubwa za kinabii na za kijiografia-kisiasa, hasa katika muktadha wa enzi ya Vita Baridi.

Martin explores the three secrets of Fatima, which were allegedly revealed by the Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in Fatima in 1917. He suggests that the third secret, which was initially kept secret by the Vatican and only revealed in 2000, contained apocalyptic warnings about the future of the Catholic Church and the world. Martin argues that the events at Fatima, including the apparitions and the messages conveyed by the Virgin Mary, had significant implications for global politics and the struggle between communism and capitalism during the Cold War era.

Martin anoongorora zvakavanzika zvitatu zveFatima, izvo zvinonzi zvakazarurwa neMhandara Maria kuvana vatatu vaduku vaiva vafudzi muFatima muna 1917. Anoti chakavanzika chechitatu, icho pakutanga chakachengetwa chakavanzika neVatican uye chakazongoziviswa chete muna 2000, chaiva nezviyambiro zvemagumo enyika pamusoro peramangwana reChechi yeKatorike nenyika. Martin anopikisa kuti zviitiko zvepaFatima, kusanganisira kuonekwa kwacho nemashoko akaunzwa neMhandara Maria, zvaiva nezvazvaireva zvikuru mune zvematongerwo enyika zvepasi rose uye mukurwisana pakati pechikomunizimu nechikapitalizimu munguva yeCold War.

Martin highlights the role of Pope John Paul II as a key figure in the fulfillment of the prophecies of Fatima. He suggests that John Paul II saw himself as the “bishop in white” mentioned in the third secret of Fatima and that he viewed his papacy as a mission to confront the forces of evil and promote spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church and society at large.

Martin anoburitsa basa raPapa John Paul II somunhu akakosha mukuzadzika kwezviporofita zveFatima. Anoratidza kuti John Paul II aizviona sa“bhishopi akapfeka zvichena” anotaurwa muchakavanzika chechitatu cheFatima, uye kuti aiona hupapa hwake semishoni yokutarisana nemasimba ezvakaipa nokusimudzira kuvandudzwa kwemweya mukati meChechi yeKatorike nomunzanga yose zvayo.

Martin suggests that the messages of Fatima emphasized the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for the Catholic Church to confront the forces of evil, both within and outside the Church. He argues that the events at Fatima provided a spiritual and moral framework for understanding and addressing the challenges facing humanity in the modern world. The Fatima messages represent the satanic message which conditions Catholicism to accept Satan as Christ, when he “personates” Christ at the soon coming Sunday law.

Martin anoti mashoko eFatima akasimbisa kukosha kwehondo yomweya uye kudikanwa kweChechi yeKaturike kusangana zvakasimba nemasimba ezvakaipa, ari mukati meChechi nokunze kwayo. Anopikisa kuti zvakaitika paFatima zvakapa hwaro hwomweya nehwehunhu hwokunzwisisa nokugadzirisa zvinetso zviri kutarisana norudzi rwavanhu munyika yazvino. Mashoko eFatima anomirira shoko raSatani rinogadzirira Katurike kuti igamuchire Satani saKristu, pa“anotevedzera” Kristu pamutemo weSvondo uri kuuya nokukurumidza.

> “Satan will work miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.

> “Satana achashanda minana kuti anyengedze avo vanogara panyika. Zvemidzimu zvichaita basa razvo nokukonzera kuti vakafa vatevedzerwe sokunge ndivo vari kuonekwa. Masangano ezvitendero anoramba kunzwa mashoko aMwari okunyevera achava pasi pokunyengedzwa kukuru, uye achabatana nesimba rehurumende kuti atambudze vatsvene. Machechi ePurotesitendi achabatana nesimba reupapa mukutambudza vanhu vaMwari vanochengeta mirayiro. Ndiro simba iroro rinoumba hurongwa hukuru hwokutambudza, huchashandisa ushe hwomudzimu hwechisimba pamusoro pehana dzavanhu.”

> “‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.

> “‘Ya va ni timpfondzo timbirhi leti fanaka ni ta xinyimpfana, naswona a vulavula kukota dragona.’ Hambileswi vanhu va tivulaka valandzeri va Xinyimpfana xa Xikwembu, va tala hi moya wa dragona. Va tivula lava rhuleke naswona va titsongahata, kambe va vulavula ni ku endla milawu hi moya wa Sathana, va kombisa hi swiendlo swa vona leswaku va hambanile hi ku helela ni leswi va tivulaka swona. Matimba lawa lama fanaka ni xinyimpfana ma hlangana ni dragona eku hlaseleni ka lava hlayisaka swileriso swa Xikwembu naswona va nga ni vumbhoni bya Yesu Kriste. Kutani Sathana na yena u hlangana ni Vaprotestente ni Vapapa, a tirha na vona hi vun’we tanihi xikwembu xa misava leyi, a lerisa vanhu onge hiloko va ri vafumiwa va mfumo wakwe, leswaku va khomiwa ni ku fuma ni ku lawuriwa hilaha swi n’wi tsakisaka hakona.

> “If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘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’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘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’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

> “Xana vanhu va nga pfumeli ku kandziyela ehansi milawu ya Xikwembu, moya wa dragona wa paluxeka. Va bohiwa, va yisiwa emahlweni ka makhanselara, naswona va xupuriwa hi mali. ‘Kutani a endla leswaku hinkwavo, lavatsongo ni lavakulu, lavafuwi ni swisiwana, lava ntshunxekeke ni mahlonga, va amukela mfungho evokweni ra vona ra xinene, kumbe emimombeni ya vona’ [Nhlavutelo 13:16]. ‘A ri ni matimba yo nyika xifaniso xa xivandzana vutomi, leswaku xifaniso xa xivandzana xi vulavula, ni ku endla leswaku hinkwavo lava nga ta nga xi gandzela xifaniso xa xivandzana va dlayiwa’ [ndzimana 15]. Hi ndlela leyi Sathana a teka hi ku mbundzumuxa timfanelo ta Yehovha. Munhu wa xidyoho u tshama exitshan’weni xa Xikwembu, a tivisa leswaku i Xikwembu, naswona a endla leswi tlulaka Xikwembu.” Manuscript Releases, vholumo 14, 162.

Antichrist is a symbol of both the pope of Rome, and Satan, for the pope of Rome is Satan’s earthly representative. “Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Satan intends to so control the world when he takes control that he will dictate “to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.” In order to have a religious throne to rule from He created the Catholic Church, and in order to have a political throne to rule from he created the United Nations.

Mpinga-Kristo ni ishara ya Papa wa Roma na pia ya Shetani, kwa kuwa papa wa Roma ndiye mwakilishi wa Shetani duniani. “Hivyo Shetani anyang’anya mamlaka ya Yehova. Yule mtu wa dhambi huketi katika kiti cha Mungu, akijitangaza mwenyewe kuwa Mungu, na kutenda juu ya Mungu.” Shetani anakusudia kuudhibiti ulimwengu kiasi hicho atakapoutwaa utawala, hata ataamuru “kwa wanadamu kana kwamba wao ni raia wa ufalme wake, watendewe na watawaliwe na kudhibitiwa apendavyo.” Ili awe na kiti cha enzi cha kidini atakachotawala kutoka juu yake, aliliumba Kanisa Katoliki; na ili awe na kiti cha enzi cha kisiasa atakachotawala kutoka juu yake, aliumba Umoja wa Mataifa.

> “This compromise between paganism and Christianity resulted in the development of ‘the man of sin’ foretold in prophecy as opposing and exalting himself above God. That gigantic system of false religion is a masterpiece of Satan’s power—a monument of his efforts to seat himself upon the throne to rule the earth according to his will.” The Great Controversy, 50.

> “Ukuvumelanisa lokhu phakathi kobuhedeni nobuKristu kwaholela ekuthuthukisweni ‘komuntu wesono’ okwabikezelwa esiprofethweni njengomelene noNkulunkulu futhi eziphakamisa ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu. Lolo hlelo olukhulu lwenkolo yamanga luyingcweti yobuciko bamandla kaSathane—isikhumbuzo semizamo yakhe yokuzibeka esihlalweni sobukhosi ukuze abuse umhlaba ngokwentando yakhe.” The Great Controversy, 50.

The miracle of Fatima, and its satanic prophecy is what Satan has employed to prepare a prophetic setting that allows Catholicism to quickly surrender their church into His control, when he appears, and personates Christ. His personation of Christ begins at the soon coming Sunday law, represented in verse sixteen, verse twenty-two, verse thirty-one and verse forty-one of Daniel chapter eleven.

Chishamiso chekuFatima, pamwe chete nouporofita hwayo hwaSatani, ndizvo zvakashandiswa naSatani kugadzirira mamiriro ezvinhu eporofita anobvumira chiKatorike kukurumidza kuisa kereke yavo pasi pekutongwa kwake, paanenge aonekwa uye achizviita Kristu. Kuzviita kwake Kristu kunotanga pamutemo weSvondo uri kuuya nokukurumidza, unomiririrwa mundima yegumi nenhanhatu, ndima yemakumi maviri nemiviri, ndima yemakumi matatu neimwe, uye ndima yemakumi mana neimwe yaDhanieri chitsauko chegumi nerimwe.

> “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.

> “Kuburikidza nemutemo unosimbisa kugadzwa kweUpapa uchityora murayiro waMwari, nyika yedu ichazvipatsanura zvizere nokururama. Apo chiPurotesitendi chichatambanudza ruoko rwacho richiyambuka mukaha kuti chibate ruoko rwesimba reRoma, apo chichayambukira pamusoro pegomba rakadzika kuti chibatane neMweya yezvokushopera, apo, pasi pesimba remubatanidzwa uyu wakapetwa katatu, nyika yedu icharamba nheyo dzose dzeBumbiro rayo sohurumende yechiPurotesitendi neyeruzhinji, uye ichagadzirira nzira yokuparadzirwa kwenhema nokunyengera zveUpapa, ipapo tingaziva kuti nguva yasvika yokushanda kunoshamisa kwaSatani uye kuti kuguma kwava pedyo.” Testimonies, vhoriyamu 5, 451.

At the Sunday law in the United States, the “time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” In Revelation chapter thirteen, verse eleven, the United States “speaks” as a dragon, and then in verse thirteen, which is simply identifying what happens when the United States “speaks,” by passing the Sunday law, Satan appears to call fire down out of heaven.

Pamutemo wemusi weSvondo paunenge wavapo muUnited States, “nguva yasvika yekushanda kunoshamisa kwaSatani.” Muna Zvakazarurwa chitsauko chegumi nematatu, ndima yegumi neimwe, United States “rinotaura” seshato, uyezve mundima yegumi nenhatu, inongoratidza zviri kuitika apo United States “rinotaura,” nokupfuudza mutemo weSvondo, Satani anooneka achidana moto kuti uburuke uchibva kudenga.

> “Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

> “Varanda vaMwari, vane zviso zvavo zvichivhenekerwa uye zvichipenya nokuzvitsaurira kutsvene, vachakurumidza kubva panzvimbo imwe kuenda pane imwe kuti vazivise shoko rinobva kudenga. Nezviuru zvenzwi, pasi rose, yambiro ichapiwa. Zvishamiso zvichaitwa, vanorwara vachaporeswa, uye zviratidzo nezvinoshamisa zvichatevera vatendi. Sataniwo anoshanda, nezvishamiso zvinonyengera, achitosvitsa moto uchiburuka kubva kudenga pamberi pavanhu. Zvakazarurwa 13:13. Saizvozvo vagari venyika vachaiswa pakutora divi ravo.” The Great Controversy, 611, 612.

The messages of Fatima were confirmed by a miracle that was testified to by the atheistic government newspapers that attended the event in order to refute the claims that had been made about the so-called Virgin Mary visiting the three children on the thirteenth day of the month from May until the miracle on October 13, 1917. Every atheistic news organization that was at Fatima at the time of the miracle confirmed the event. It was a genuine miracle (of Satan).

Mharidzo dzeFatima dzakasimbiswa nechishamiso chakapupurirwa nemapepanhau ehurumende aisatenda kuvapo kwaMwari, ayo akanga aenda kuchiitiko ichocho kuti arambe zvaitaurwa pamusoro peanonzi Mhandara Maria kushanyira vana vatatu pazuva regumi nenhatu remwedzi kubva muna Chivabvu kusvikira pachishamiso cha13 Gumiguru 1917. Sangano rimwe nerimwe renhau raisatenda kuvapo kwaMwari raiva paFatima panguva yechishamiso rakasimbisa chiitiko ichocho. Chaiva chishamiso chechokwadi (chaSatani).

As Malachi Martin identified in his book, Pope John Paul was guided by his devotion to Mary of Fatima. The secret prophecy of Fatima, that was not revealed until the year 2000, was of course a satanic prophecy, but in the last days Jesus repeats the first days. The oldest book in the Bible, the first book that Moses wrote is the book of Job, and it identifies that Job, who represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for all the prophecies are fulfilled most perfectly in the last days. Satan, in the story of Job, is allowed to bring death and destruction upon Job, for the purpose of testing Job. The miracles that Satan is allowed to accomplish in the last days, are genuine miracles. They are satanic miracles, but God has allowed Satan to accomplish his crowning act, for the same purpose that he allowed Satan to test Job.

Sezvakataurwa naMalachi Martin mubhuku rake, Papa John Paul akatungamirirwa nokuzvipira kwake kuna Maria weFatima. Chiporofita chakavanzika cheFatima, chisina kuziviswa kusvikira mugore ra2000, zvamazvirokwazvo chaiva chiporofita chaSatani; asi mumazuva okupedzisira Jesu anodzokorora mazuva okutangira. Bhuku rekare-kare muBhaibheri, bhuku rokutanga rakanyorwa naMosesi, ibhuku raJobho, uye rinoratidza kuti Jobho, anomiririra vane zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina, nokuti zviporofita zvose zvinozadzikiswa zvakakwana zvikurusa mumazuva okupedzisira. Satani, munyaya yaJobho, anotenderwa kuunza rufu nokuparadza pamusoro paJobho, nechinangwa chokuedza Jobho. Zvishamiso izvo Satani anotenderwa kuita mumazuva okupedzisira, zvishamiso zvechokwadi. Zvishamiso zvaSatani, asi Mwari akatendera Satani kuti aite chiito chake chokupedzisira chinokosha zvikuru, nechikonzero chimwe chete chaakabvumira Satani kuedza Jobho.

> “Many endeavor to account for spiritual manifestations by attributing them wholly to fraud and sleight of hand on the part of the medium. But while it is true that the results of trickery have often been palmed off as genuine manifestations, there have been, also, marked exhibitions of supernatural power. The mysterious rapping with which modern spiritualism began was not the result of human trickery or cunning, but was the direct work of evil angels, who thus introduced one of the most successful of soul-destroying delusions. Many will be ensnared through the belief that spiritualism is a merely human imposture; when brought face to face with manifestations which they cannot but regard as supernatural, they will be deceived, and will be led to accept them as the great power of God.

> “Vazhinji vanoedza kutsanangura zvinoonekwa zvemweya vachiti zvinobva chose pakunyengera nokukurumidza kwemaoko kunoitwa nemedium. Asi kunyange hazvo chiri chokwadi kuti zvibereko zvokubiridzira zvakawanda zvakambopfuudzwa sechiratidzo chechokwadi, kwakavapowo kuratidzwa kukuru kwesimba rinopfuura romuzvarirwo.

> “These persons overlook the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the wonders wrought by Satan and his agents. It was by satanic aid that Pharaoh’s magicians were enabled to counterfeit the work of God. Paul testifies that before the second advent of Christ there will be similar manifestations of satanic power. The coming of the Lord is to be preceded by ‘the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10. And the apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days, declares: ‘He doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do.’ Revelation 13:13, 14. No mere impostures are here foretold. Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do.” The Great Controversy, 553.

> “Vanhu ava vanofuratira uchapupu hweMagwaro pamusoro pezvishamiso zvinoitwa naSatani nevamiriri vake. Vakanga vari nerubatsiro rwaSatani kuti n’anga dzaFaro dzikwanise kutevedzera basa raMwari. Pauro anopupura kuti kusati kwasvika kuuya kwechipiri kwaKristu kuchavawo nekuratidzwa kwakafanana kwesimba raSatani. Kuuya kwaShe kunotangira ne‘kushanda kwaSatani nesimba rose, nezviratidzo, nezvishamiso zvenhema, nokunyengera kwose kwekusarurama.’ 2 VaTesaronika 2:9,10. Uye muapostora Johane, achitsanangura simba rekuita zvishamiso richaratidzwa mumazuva okupedzisira, anoti: ‘Anoita zvishamiso zvikuru, kusvikira aita kuti moto uburuke kubva kudenga uuye panyika pamberi pavanhu, uye anonyengera vanogara panyika nenzira yezvishamiso izvo zvaakapihwa simba rokuita.’ Zvakazarurwa 13:13, 14. Hazvina kufanotaurwa pano kunyengedzera kuri nyore chete. Vanhu vanonyengerwa nezvishamiso izvo vamiriri vaSatani vane simba rokuita, kwete izvo zvavanongonyepedzera kuti vanoita.” The Great Controversy, 553.

The messages of Fatima in Malachi Martin’s book are represented as the prophetic structure of Catholicism in the last days, in relation to an internal struggle within the church, that can be represented as either the good pope versus the bad pope, or the conservative pope versus the liberal pope. The conservative, and according to Martin’s reading of the miracle, the good pope, bases his understanding upon the First Vatican Council, also known as Vatican I, which took place from December 8, 1869 to July 20, 1870, convened by Pope Pius IX and primarily focused on defining the dogma of papal infallibility and addressing various theological and doctrinal issues facing the Catholic Church at the time. The Second Vatican Council, commonly known as Vatican II, was held much later, from October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965. It was convened by Pope John XXIII and continued by Pope Paul VI after John XXIII’s death.

Mauthenga eFatima ebhukwini likaMalachi Martin amelwe njengesakhiwo sesiprofetho sobuKatolika ezinsukwini zokugcina, maqondana nokungqubuzana kwangaphakathi eBandleni, okungamelwa njengopapa omuhle ebhekene nopapa omubi, noma njengopapa olondolozayo ebhekene nopapa okhululekile. Upapa olondolozayo, futhi ngokokuhumusha kukaMartin ngesimangaliso, upapa omuhle, usekela ukuqonda kwakhe eMkhandlwini Wokuqala waseVatican, owaziwa futhi ngokuthi iVatican I, owabanjwa kusukela mhla ziyisi-8 kuZibandlela 1869 kuya mhla zingama-20 kuNtulikazi 1870, wabizelwa uPapa Pius IX, futhi wagxila ikakhulukazi ekuchazeni imfundiso eyisidima yokungaphambuki kukapapa nasekubhekaneni nezindaba ezihlukahlukene zemfundiso yenkolo nezemfundiso ezazibhekene neBandla lamaKatolika ngaleso sikhathi. UMkhandlu Wesibili waseVatican, ovame ukwaziwa ngokuthi iVatican II, wabanjwa emuva kakhulu, kusukela mhla ziyi-11 kuMfumfu 1962 kuya mhla ziyisi-8 kuZibandlela 1965. Wabizelwa uPapa John XXIII futhi waqhubekiswa uPapa Paul VI emva kokufa kukaJohn XXIII.

The last days of Catholicism, as Martin expressed it, identifies the struggle between the infallibility and primacy of the church of Rome as set forth in Vatican I, versus the liberalism that is currently on display by Francis the woke-pope, and represented in the documents of Vatican II. Martin suggests that within the struggle for these two approaches of controlling the church, the third world war breaks out, and Jesus returns, comes down to earth and places his blessing upon the good pope and takes the throne of the Catholic church.

Amasuku okuphela obuKatolika, njengoko uMartin wachazayo, achonga umzabalazo phakathi kokungaphazami nokongamela kwebandla laseRoma njengoko kwamiselwa eVatican I, xa kuthelekiswa neliberalism ebonakaliswayo ngoku nguFrancis, “u-pope ovukileyo,” yaye emelwe ngamaxwebhu eVatican II. UMartin ucebisa ukuba phakathi kwalo mzabalazo wale ndlela zimbini zokulawula ibandla, iMfazwe Yehlabathi yesiThathu iyaqhambuka, aze uYesu abuye, ehlele emhlabeni, abeke intsikelelo yakhe phezu kukapopu olungileyo, aze athabathe itrone yebandla lamaKatolika.

In verses thirteen through fifteen, of Daniel eleven, the history that immediately precedes the Sunday law of verse sixteen, describes the third and final battle of the proxy wars. It is the battle that follows Putin’s victory in verses eleven and twelve, but in the middle of those three verses, verse fourteen identifies when Catholicism enters into the history of the last days.

According to Isaiah the whore of Rome is forgotten during the symbolic seventy-year reign of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The first time the papacy was enthroned upon the earth in 538, the waymark that preceded her enthronement was the decree of Justinian in 533.

Ngokuka-Isaya, isifebe saseRoma siyasakhohlakala ngesikhathi sokubusa okungokomfanekiso kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa kombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. Ngokokuqala ngqa ubupapa bumiswa esihlalweni emhlabeni ngo-538, uphawu lwendlela olwandulela ukumiswa kwabo esihlalweni kwakuyisimemezelo sikaJustinian ngo-533.

The history surrounding Justinian’s decree identifies that Justinian sought to consolidate his control over his kingdom by bringing an end to the religious argument that had been causing turmoil in the kingdom. That argument was whether the church in Constantinople in the east, or the church in Rome in the west was the head of the so-called Christian church. In verse thirteen, the last president of the United States will be confronted with a controversy that forces him to parallel the history of Justinian, and declare that the Catholic church is the head of the churches, and the corrector of heretics, in order to establish the necessary political support to consolidate his power.

Nhoroondo yakakomberedza chirevo chaJustinian inoratidza kuti Justinian aitsvaka kusimbisa kutonga kwake pamusoro poushe hwake nokupedzisa gakava rechitendero rakanga richikonzera mhirizhonga muumambo hwacho. Gakava iroro raiva rokuti kereke yaiva muConstantinople kumabvazuva, kana kuti kereke yaiva muRoma kumadokero, ndiyo yaiva musoro wekereke inonzi yechiKristu. Mundima yegumi netatu, mutungamiri wekupedzisira weUnited States achaonana negakava richamumanikidza kuenzanisa nhoroondo yaJustinian, uye kuzivisa kuti kereke yeKatorike ndiyo musoro wemakereke, uye mururamisi wavanyengeri, kuti agadzire rutsigiro rwezvematongerwo enyika runodiwa kuti asimbise simba rake.

We should not place any confidence in the satanic predictions of Fatima, but we are required to see what is revealed in God’s Word. In the beginning of the twentieth century both horns of the earth beast entered into their third generation, which is the generation of compromise. The Republican horn surrendered its financial system to the world bankers, which trace their origins back to the house of the Red Shield, the Rothschilds, and its mysterious connection with the Illuminati, Freemasonry, secret societies and the Jesuit order. Sister White directly warns of these entities. During the same period of time Laodicean Adventism, as the Protestant horn, surrendered its educational and religious institutions to the governing of the world.

Hatifaniri kuisa chivimbo chipi nechipi muzviporofita zvaFatima zvinobva kuna Satani, asi tinosungirwa kuona zvinoratidzwa muShoko raMwari. Pakutanga kwezana ramakore rechimakumi maviri, nyanga mbiri dzechikara chepanyika dzakapinda muchizvarwa chazvo chechitatu, chinova ndicho chizvarwa chekuyananisa. Nyanga yeRepublican yakapa hurongwa hwayo hwemari kuvabhengi venyika, avo vanotevera mavambo avo kudzokera kuimba yeRed Shield, ivo Rothschilds, pamwe nokubatana kwayo kwakavanzika neIlluminati, Freemasonry, masangano epachivande, uye sangano remaJesuit. Hanzvadzi White inonyevera zvakananga pamusoro pemasangano aya. Panguva imwe cheteyo, Adventism yeRaodhikia, senyanga yePurotesitendi, yakapa masangano ayo edzidzo neechitendero kuti atongwe nenyika.

In that very time period, the modern king of the south begins its history with the Russian Revolution, and the modern king of the north begins its history with the miracle of Fatima. As Malachi Martin emphasizes in his book, beyond the internal struggle of the good and bad pope, the Fatima messages identified the struggle of Catholicism against atheism in general, but more specifically against the atheism of Russia. The secret that the pope in 1917 was to act upon contained the (satanic) promise, that if the pope would call a conclave and dedicate Russia to the Virgin Mary, then there would not be a second world war. It also identified that if the pope refused Russia would spread its philosophy far and wide and there would then be another world war.

Munguva iyoyo chaiyo yenguva, mambo wokumaodzanyemba wemazuva ano anotanga nhoroondo yake neChimurenga cheRussia, uye mambo wokumaodzanyemba kwekuchamhembe wemazuva ano anotanga nhoroondo yake nechishamiso cheFatima. Sezvinotsinhirirwa naMalachi Martin mubhuku rake, kunze kwekurwisana kwemukati pakati papapa akanaka napapa akaipa, mashoko eFatima akaratidza kurwisana kweKaturike nekusatenda kuna Mwari kazhinji, asi zvikuru sei nekusatenda kuna Mwari kweRussia. Chakavanzika icho papapa muna 1917 aifanira kuita maererano nacho chaiva nechivimbiso (chaSatani) chokuti, kana papapa aizodaidza konikirave uye akakumikidza Russia kuna Mhandara Maria, ipapo kwaisazova nehondo yenyika yechipiri. Chakazivisawo kuti kana papapa akaramba, Russia yaizoparadzira uzivi hwayo kure nokupamhamha, uye ipapo kwaizova neimwezve hondo yenyika.

The second world war included the war of Catholicism against the Communism of Russia. Catholicism’s proxy army in that war was Nazi Germany. The papacy always employs proxy armies. In 1933 the Catholic church, through the work of Cardinal Pacelli, signed a concordat with Adolph Hitler that allowed Hitler to take control of Germany, and by Hitler’s own testimony, that contract (concordat), was what allowed Hitler to solve the Jewish question. The Nazi’s were the papacy’s proxy against atheistic Russia in World War II, and in the second battle of the proxy wars, now being accomplished in the Ukraine, it is being carried out by another Nazi proxy army.

Hondo Yenyika II yaisanganisira hondo yechiKaturike ichirwisana nechiKomonisiti cheRussia. Mauto aimiririra chiKaturike muhondo iyoyo aiva Nazi Germany. Upapa hunogara huchishandisa mauto anomiririra. Muna 1933 kereke yeKaturike, kubudikidza nebasa raKadhinari Pacelli, yakasaina konkodhati naAdolph Hitler iyo yakabvumira Hitler kutora kutonga kweGermany, uye maererano neuchapupu hwaHitler pachake, chibvumirano ichocho (konkodhati), ndicho chakabvumira Hitler kugadzirisa mubvunzo wechiJudha. VaNazi ndivo vaiva vamiriri veupapa vachipikisa Russia isingatendi kuna Mwari muHondo Yenyika II, uye muhondo yechipiri yehondo dzemauto anomiririra, iri zvino kuitwa muUkraine, iri kuitwa nerimwezve uto reNazi rinomiririra.

Ticharamba nechidzidzo ichi munyaya inotevera.

> “Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. 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.

> “Kuburikidza nezvikanganiso zviviri zvikuru, kusafa kwemweya nokutsveneswa kweSvondo, Satani achaunza vanhu pasi pekunyengedzwa kwake. Apo chokutanga ichiisa hwaro hwezvemidzimu, chechipiri chinoumba chisungo chekunzwirana tsitsi neRoma. MaPurotesitendi eUnited States achava pamberi pakutambanudza maoko awo mhiri megomba kuti abate ruoko rwezvemidzimu; vachayambuka pamusoro pegomba rakadzika kuti vabatisane maoko nesimba reRoma; uye pasi pesimba remubatanidzwa uyu une zvikamu zvitatu, nyika ino ichatevera mumakwara eRoma mukutsikira pasi kodzero dzerusununguko rwehana.

> “As spiritualism more closely imitates the nominal Christianity of the day, it has greater power to deceive and ensnare. Satan himself is converted, after the modern order of things. He will appear in the character of an angel of light. Through the agency of spiritualism, miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and many undeniable wonders will be performed. And as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible, and manifest respect for the institutions of the church, their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power.

> “จิตวิญญาณนิยมยิ่งเลียนแบบคริสต์ศาสนาแต่เพียงในนามแห่งยุคปัจจุบันได้แนบเนียนเพียงใด มันก็ยิ่งมีอำนาจมากขึ้นที่จะล่อลวงและดักจับผู้คนเพียงนั้น ซาตานเองก็จะกลับใจใหม่ตามแบบระเบียบของสมัยใหม่ เขาจะปรากฏตัวในลักษณะของทูตสวรรค์แห่งความสว่าง โดยผ่านกิจการของจิตวิญญาณนิยม จะมีการกระทำการอัศจรรย์ คนป่วยจะได้รับการรักษาให้หาย และการอัศจรรย์อันไม่อาจปฏิเสธได้มากมายจะถูกกระทำขึ้น และเนื่องจากบรรดาวิญญาณจะประกาศตนว่าเชื่อในพระคัมภีร์ และแสดงความเคารพต่อสถาบันต่าง ๆ ของคริสตจักร งานของพวกมันจึงจะได้รับการยอมรับว่าเป็นการสำแดงแห่งฤทธิ์อำนาจของพระเจ้า”

> “The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.

> “Mutsara wokupatsanura pakati peavo vanozviti maKristu navasina umwari zvino hausisanyatsooneki. Nhengo dzechechi dzinoda zvinodiwa nenyika uye dzakagadzirira kubatana navo, uye Satani anotsunga kuvabatanidza vave muviri mumwe chete, nokudaro achisimbisa basa rake nokukukura vose achivapinza mumapoka eushoperi hwemidzimu. VaPope, vanozvikudza nezvishamiso sechiratidzo chakasimba chechechi yechokwadi, vachanyengedzwa nyore nesimba iri rinoita zvinoshamisa; uye vaPurotesitendi, varasa nhovo yechokwadi, vachatsauswawo. VaPope, vaPurotesitendi, navanhu venyika vachagamuchira zvakaenzana chimiro choumwari chisina simba raro, uye vachiona mumubatanidzwa uyu kufamba kukuru kwokutendeutsa nyika nokuunza mireniyamu yakanga yakamirirwa kwenguva refu.”

> “Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin. Intemperance dethrones reason; sensual indulgence, strife, and bloodshed follow. Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.

> “Kubudikidza nokunamata midzimu, Satani anoonekwa somuiti wezvakanaka kurudzi rwavanhu, achiporesa zvirwere zvavanhu, uye achizviti ari kuunza hurongwa hutsva uye hwakakwirira zvikuru hwerutendo rwechitendero; asi panguva imwe cheteyo anoshanda somuparadzi. Miedzo yake iri kutungamirira vazhinji kukuparadzwa. Kusazvidzora kunobvisa chigaro choupfumi kunzwisisa; kutevera zvido zvenyama, kukakavara, nokudeurwa kweropa zvinotevera. Satani anofadzwa nehondo, nokuti inomutsa zvishuwo zvakaipisisa zvomweya, uye ipapo inotsvairira muupenyu husingaperi vakabatwa vayo vakanyudzwa muchivi nomuropa. Ndicho chinangwa chake kukurudzira ndudzi kuti dzirwisane, nokuti saizvozvo anogona kutsausa pfungwa dzavanhu pabasa rokugadzirira kumira pazuva raMwari.”

> “Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.” The Great Controversy, 588, 589.

> “Setana anoshandisawo kubudikidza nezvinhu zvakasikwa kuti aunganidze goho rake remweya isina kugadzirira. Akadzidza zvakavanzika zvemumareshabhoritari ezvisikwa, uye anoshandisa simba rake rose kudzora zvinhu zvakasikwa kusvika pakutenderwa kwaanoitwa naMwari.
