Those on the wrong side of this final controversy of the symbol of Rome lean upon a flawed application of a triple application of prophecy as they suggest that the three Rome’s are defined by the three Sunday laws of the years 321, 538 and the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. In doing so they place an incorrect slant upon the rule and the prophetic history they select, as was also done in the controversy over the four insects of Joel. The four generations followed by four devouring insects in the first six verses of Joel address how God’s people are progressively decimated over four generations, and that the decimation was accomplished by Adventism’s acceptance of the theology of Rome and apostate Protestantism.

Kuwa ku jira dhinaca qaldan ee murankan ugu dambeeya ee ku saabsan astaanta Rooma waxay ku tiirsan yihiin adeegsiga khaldan ee ku-dhaqangelin saddex-geesood ah oo wax sii sheegidda ah, iyagoo soo jeedinaya in saddexda Rooma lagu qeexo saddexda sharci ee Axadda ee sannadaha 321, 538, iyo sharciga Axadda ee dhowaan imanaya ee Maraykanka. Markay sidaas samaynayaan, waxay saarayaan eex qaldan qaanuunka iyo taariikhda wax sii sheegidda ee ay doorteen, sidaas oo kale sidii lagu sameeyey murankii ku saabsanaa afarta cayayaan ee Yoo’eel. Afarta qarni ee ay daba socdaan afarta cayayaan ee wax cuna ee ku xusan lixda aayadood ee ugu horreeya ee Yoo’eel waxay ka hadlayaan sida dadka Ilaah si tartiib-tartiib ah loogu baabi’iyey afar qarni gudahood, iyo in baabi’intaas lagu fuliyey aqbaliddii Adventism-ku ay aqbashay fiqiga Rooma iyo Protestantism-ka riddoobay.

In the current controversy those who attempt to employ the Sunday law to define the three Rome’s, avoid the truth that there are actually four Sunday laws that are identified in God’s prophetic word, and that the year 321 represents the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, and the Sunday law of 538 typifies the Sunday law which is enforced upon all the nations of the world. Four Sunday laws does not identify three Sunday laws, especially when the third manifestation in a triple application of prophecy represents the final fulfillment. The soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is not the final Sunday law, it actually marks the beginning of a series of Sunday laws as each nation on the globe progressively accepts the mark of papal authority.

Muranka hadda taagan, kuwa isku daya inay sharciga Axadda u adeegsadaan inay ku qeexaan saddexda Rooma, waxay ka fogaadaan runta ah in dhab ahaantii ay jiraan afar sharci oo Axad ah oo lagu aqoonsaday ereyga nebinnimada ee Ilaah, iyo in sannadka 321 uu matalo sharciga Axadda ee dhawaan iman doona ee Maraykanka, halka sharciga Axadda ee 538 uu yahay astaanta sharciga Axadda ee lagu dhaqan-gelin doono dhammaan quruumaha dunida. Afar sharci oo Axad ah ma tilmaamaan saddex sharci oo Axad ah, gaar ahaan marka muujinta saddexaad ee adeegsiga saddex-geesoodka ah ee nebinnimada ay metesho rumoobidda kama dambaysta ah. Sharciga Axadda ee dhawaan iman doona ee Maraykanku ma aha sharciga Axadda ee ugu dambeeya; run ahaantii, wuxuu calaamad u yahay bilowga taxane sharciyo Axad ah iyadoo qaran kasta oo dunida ku yaal uu si tartiib-tartiib ah u aqbalayo calaamadda awoodda baadariga.

Those who were awakened in July 2023 are required to understand that the prophetic test that confronts them occurs during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and that during that outpouring one class is receiving the “oil,” and the other class is receiving “strong delusion.” The primary representation of those who receive strong delusion is represented in the very chapter where the expression strong delusion is located, and in that chapter the truth that is either loved or rejected is the truth which defines the prophetic relationship between pagan Rome and papal Rome.

Kuwii la kiciyey Julaay 2023 waxaa laga doonayaa inay fahmaan in imtixaanka nebiyadeed ee iyaga hor yimaadaa uu dhaco inta lagu jiro daadinta Ruuxa Quduuska ah, iyo in muddadaas daadinta ah hal koox ay helayso “saliidda,” halka kooxda kalena ay helayso “khiyaano xoog leh.” Matalka ugu weyn ee kuwa hela khiyaano xoog leh waxaa lagu muujiyey isla cutubka uu ku yaal oraahda khiyaano xoog leh, cutubkaasna runta ama la jecel yahay ama la diido waa runta qeexaysa xiriirka nebiyadeed ee u dhexeeya Roomaankii jaahilka ahaa iyo Roomaankii baadariga ahaa.

The prophetic relationship between 321 and 538 is shown by the prophetic relationship between the church of Pergamos and the church of Thyatira. In the last days, pagan Rome, represented by 321 and Pergamos, is a symbol of the United States, and papal Rome, represented by 538 and Thyatira, is a symbol of Modern Rome.

Xidhiidhka nebinnimo ee u dhexeeya 321 iyo 538 waxa muujinaya xidhiidhka nebinnimo ee u dhexeeya kaniisadda Pergamos iyo kaniisadda Thyatira. Maalmaha ugu dambeeya, Roomaankii jaahiliga ahaa, oo ay matalaan 321 iyo Pergamos, waa astaan u ah Maraykanka, halka Roomaankii baadariga, oo ay matalaan 538 iyo Thyatira, uu astaan u yahay Rooma Casriga ah.

The first Rome of 321 was a singular power state, and the second Rome of 538 was a dual power representing a combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. The third and final Rome, which is modern Rome, is a threefold power that consists of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

Roomii hore ee 321 waxay ahayd dawlad awood keliya ah, Roomii labaad ee 538-na waxay ahayd awood laba-geesood ah oo matalaysay isku-darka kaniisadda iyo dawladda, iyadoo kaniisaddu xukuntay xidhiidhkaas. Roomii saddexaad oo ah tan ugu dambaysa, taas oo ah Rooma casriga ah, waa awood saddex-geesood ah oo ka kooban bahalka weyn, bahalka, iyo nebiga beenta ah.

Paul taught that to not understand the prophetic and historic relationship of pagan Rome (the dragon) and papal Rome (the beast) was to manifest a hatred of the truth which brought about strong delusion. All the prophets, including Paul were more specifically addressing the last days, so the relationship between the two powers in Paul’s history represents the relationship between the three powers of Modern Rome in the last days. To reject the prophetic relationship that “forms” the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days is to secure strong delusion for yourself.

Bawlos wuxuu baray in aan la fahmin xidhiidhka nebiyadeed iyo taariikhiga ah ee u dhexeeya Roomaankii jaahiliga ahaa (masduulaagii) iyo Roomaankii baadariga ahaa (bahalkii) ay ahayd muujinta nacayb loo qabo runta, taas oo keentay marin-habaabin xoog leh. Nebiyadii oo dhan, Bawlosna ku jiro, si gaar ah waxay uga hadlayeen maalmaha ugu dambeeya; sidaas daraaddeed, xidhiidhka ka dhexeeya labadaas awoodood ee ku jira taariikhda Bawlos wuxuu ka dhigan yahay xidhiidhka ka dhexeeya saddexda awoodood ee Rooma Casriga ah ee maalmaha ugu dambeeya. In la diido xidhiidhka nebiyadeed ee “sameeya” midowga saddex-geesoodka ah ee masduulaagga, bahalka, iyo nebiga beenta ah maalmaha ugu dambeeya waa in aad naftaada u sugto marin-habaabin xoog leh.

Uriah Smith’s private interpretation of the king of the north represented a “cause” that produced an “effect.” But the class that is on the wrong side of the controversies about Rome is specifically identified as being unable to reason from cause to effect. Smith did not see that his flawed application of the king of the north would produce a prophetic platform which would lead him to also misrepresent the sixth plague, where there is a warning to keep or lose the garment of Christ’s righteousness.

Fasirkii gaarka ahaa ee Uriah Smith ee ku saabsanaa boqorka woqooyi wuxuu matalayey “sabab” soo saartay “saamayn.” Laakiin kooxda ku jirta dhinaca qaldan ee murannada ku saabsan Rooma si gaar ah ayaa loo aqoonsaday inay yihiin kuwo aan awoodin inay sabab uga garteen saamayn. Smith ma uu arkin in ku-dhaqankiisii qalloocnaa ee boqorka woqooyi uu soo saari doono madal nebiyadeed oo horseedi doonta inuu sidoo kale si qaldan u metelo belaayada lixaad, halkaas oo ay taal digniin ku saabsan in la ilaashado ama la lumiyo marada xaqnimada Masiixa.

As with Paul’s emphasis in Second Thessalonians, John in chapter sixteen of Revelation and the sixth plague emphasizes the necessity of understanding who the three powers who lead the world to Armageddon are. Smith’s flawed application of the king of the north provides witness to an inability to rightly apply types and antitypes.

Sida Bawlos uu xoogga u saaray Warqaddii Labaad ee Tesaloniika, Yooxanaa cutubka lix iyo tobnaad ee Muujintii iyo belaayada lixaadba wuxuu adkaynayaa baahida loo qabo in la garto cidda ay yihiin saddexda quwadood ee dunida u hoggaamiya Armageddoon. Adeegsiga qaldan ee Smith ee boqorka woqooyi wuxuu marag u yahay karti-darro ku saabsan in si qumman loo dabaqo noocyada iyo kuwo ka-hortooda.

Smith could not, or would not, apply the principle so strongly set forth in the writings of Paul that the literal before the time-period of the cross represented the spiritual after the time-period of the cross. When this principle is carefully and correctly followed it is easily demonstrated that the “king of the north” is one of many symbols that represent the spiritual “king of the north” in the last days. Seventh-day Adventists above any other people should know that one of the primary structures that prophecy is based upon is the controversy between Christ and Satan. Christ is the true King of the north, and Satan has been attempting to manifest himself as the counterfeit king of the north.

Smith ma awoodin, ama ma doonaynin, inuu adeegsado mabda’a si xooggan loogu caddeeyey qoraallada Bawlos, kaas oo ah in waxa sugan ee muuqda ka hor xilligii iskutallaabta ay matalayeen waxa ruuxiga ah ee ka dambeeya xilligii iskutallaabta. Marka mabda’gan si taxaddar leh oo sax ah loo raaco, si fudud ayaa loo caddayn karaa in “boqorka woqooyi” uu yahay mid ka mid ah astaamo badan oo matala “boqorka woqooyi” ee ruuxiga ah maalmaha ugu dambeeya. Adventistayaasha maalinta toddobaad, dadka kale oo dhan ka sii badan, waa inay ogaadaan in mid ka mid ah qaab-dhismeedyada aasaasiga ah ee wax sii sheegiddu ku dhisan tahay uu yahay muranka u dhexeeya Masiixa iyo Shaydaanka. Masiixu waa Boqorka runta ah ee woqooyi, Shaydaankuna wuxuu isku dayayey inuu isu muujiyo sidii boqorka woqooyi ee been-abuurka ah.

> A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Psalms 48:1–3.

> Gabay iyo Sabuur loogu talagalay wiilashii Qorax. Rabbigu waa weyn yahay, oo aad buuna ugu mudan yahay in lagu ammaano magaalada Ilaaheenna, buurtiisa quduusnimadiisa. Buur Siyoon, oo ku taal dhinacyada woqooyi, magaalada Boqorka weyn, waa qurux badan tahay meesha ay taal, waana farxadda dhulka oo dhan. Ilaahna qasriyadeeda waxaa looga yaqaan magangalkii. Sabuurradii 48:1–3.

Satan’s efforts to counterfeit the true King of the north, includes employing the pope of Rome as his earthly representative. Satan is antichrist, and so is the pope of Rome, who is Satan’s proxy in his work of deception.

Dadaallada Shaydaanku ugu jiro inuu ku daydo Boqorka runta ah ee woqooyi waxa ka mid ah adeegsiga baadariga Rooma sidii wakiilkiisa dhulka jooga. Shaydaanku waa ka gees Masiixa, sidaas oo kalena baadariga Rooma waa ka gees Masiixa, kaas oo ah ergayga Shaydaanka ee hawshiisa khiyaanada ah.

> “To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.

> “Si loo helo faa’iidooyinka iyo maamuusyada dunida, kaniisadda waxaa loo horseeday inay raadsato raallinimada iyo taageerada ragga waaweyn ee dunida; sidaasayna, markay Masiixa diidday, loogu qasbay inay daacadnimo u muujiso wakiilka Shayddaanka—hoggaamiyaha kiniisadda ee Rooma.” The Great Controversy, 50.

In the breakup of Alexander the Great’s kingdom, Seleucus Nicator became the first king of the north in the history represented in Daniel chapter eleven. His father, Antiochus, had been an influential leader in Alexander’s kingdom, and his son, Seleucus, was made the satrap of Babylon. A “satrap” is a governor, and when Seleucus had secured three of the four geographical areas that Alexander’s kingdom divided into, he became the king of the north.

Markii boqortooyadii Alexander the Great ay kala jabtay, Seleucus Nicator wuxuu noqday boqorkii ugu horreeyey ee woqooyi ee taariikhda lagu matalay cutubka kow iyo tobnaad ee Daanyeel. Aabbihii, Antiochus, wuxuu ahaa hoggaamiye saamayn weyn ku lahaa boqortooyadii Alexander, wiilkiisii Seleucusna waxaa loo magacaabay satrabkii Baabuloon. “Satrab” waa taliye gobol, oo markii Seleucus uu gacanta ku dhigay saddex ka mid ah afartii dhul-beereed ee ay boqortooyadii Alexander u kala qaybsantay, wuxuu noqday boqorkii woqooyi.

Smith’s private interpretation and avoidance of grammatical rules led him to assume the final powers that made up Satan’s confederacy of evil in the last days were represented in prophecy as literal powers, not spiritual powers. Thus, he could not see that Seleucus Nicator as the first king of the north, the governor of Babylon, would of prophetic necessity represent the final spiritual king of the north who was the power that controlled modern spiritual Babylon.

Fasiraadda gaarka ah ee Smith iyo ka fogaanshihiisii xeerarka naxwaha ayaa ku hoggaamiyey inuu u qaato in awoodihii ugu dambeeyey ee ka koobnaa isbahaysiga sharka ee Shayddaanka maalmaha ugu dambeeya lagu matalay waxsii sheegidda ahaan awooddo dhab ah, ee aan ahayn awooddo ruuxi ah. Sidaas darteed, ma uu arki karin in Seleucus Nicator, isagoo ah boqorkii ugu horreeyey ee woqooyiga, taliyihii Baabuloon, ay daruurad ahaan waxsii sheegiddu u waajibinayso inuu matalo boqorka ruuxiga ah ee ugu dambeeya ee woqooyiga, kaas oo ahaa awooddii xukuntay Baabuloonta ruuxiga ah ee casriga ah.

> And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:1-6.

> Markaasaa waxaa ii yimid mid ka mid ah toddobadii malaa’igood ee haystay toddobada fijaan, wuuna ila hadlay, isagoo igu leh, Halkan kaalay; waxaan ku tusi doonaa xukunka dhilladii weynayd oo ku fadhida biyo badan dushooda; taas oo boqorradii dhulku ay la sinaysteen, oo kuwii dhulka degganaana lagu sakhraamiyey khamriga sinadeeda. Sidaas daraaddeed ayuu Ruuxa igu qaaday oo cidlada ii geeyey; oo waxaan arkay naag ku fadhida bahal guduudan, oo ay ka buuxaan magacyo cay ah, oo leh toddoba madax iyo toban gees. Naagtuna waxay ku labisnayd guduud iyo casaan, oo waxaa lagu sharraxay dahab iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah iyo luul, iyadoo gacanteeda ku haysata koob dahab ah oo ay ka buuxaan karaahiyo iyo wasakhda sinadeeda; oo wejigeeda waxaa ku qornaa magac ah, SIR, BAABILOON TA WEYN, HOOYADA DHILOOYINKA IYO KARAAHIYADA DUNIDA. Oo waxaan arkay naagtii oo ku sakhraansan dhiiggii quduusiinta iyo dhiiggii maragfurayaashii Ciise; oo markaan arkay, waxaan la yaabay yaab weyn. Muujintii 17:1-6.

The power that governs Babylon in the last days is the papal church, and she is therefore also the spiritual king of the north.

Awoodda xukunta Baabuloon maalmaha ugu dambeeya waa kaniisadda baadariga, sidaas darteedna iyadu sidoo kale waa boqorka woqooyi ee ruuxiga ah.

> “The woman (Babylon) of Revelation 17 is described as ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness:…and upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots.’ Says the prophet: ‘I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.’ Babylon is further declared to be ‘that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.’ Revelation 17:4-6, 18. The power that for so many centuries maintained despotic sway over the monarchs of Christendom is Rome. The purple and scarlet color, the gold and precious stones and pearls, vividly picture the magnificence and more than kingly pomp affected by the haughty see of Rome. And no other power could be so truly declared ‘drunken with the blood of the saints’ as that church which has so cruelly persecuted the followers of Christ. Babylon is also charged with the sin of unlawful connection with ‘the kings of the earth.’ It was by departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot; and Rome, corrupting herself in like manner by seeking the support of worldly powers, receives a like condemnation.” The Great Controversy, 382.

> “Naagtii (Baabuloon) ee Muujintii 17 waxaa lagu sifeeyey inay tahay ‘mid ku lebisan guduud iyo casaan, oo lagu qurxiyey dahab iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah iyo luul, iyada oo gacanteeda ku haysata koob dahab ah oo ka buuxa karaahiyo iyo wasakhnimo; … oo fooddeeda waxaa ku qornaa magac ah, Qarsoodi, Baabuloon Kii Weynaa, hooyada dhillooyinka.’ Nebigu wuxuu leeyahay: ‘Waxaan arkay naagtii iyadoo ka sakhraansan dhiigga quduusiinta iyo dhiigga shuhadadii Ciise.’ Waxaa kaloo lagu dhawaaqay in Baabuloon ay tahay ‘magaaladaas weyn oo xukunta boqorrada dhulka.’ Muujintii 17:4-6, 18. Awooddii qarniyo badan talis keli-talisnimo ah ku haysay boqorradii Masiixiyadda waa Rooma. Midabka guduudka iyo casaanka, dahabka iyo dhagaxyada qaaliga ah iyo luulka, waxay si cad u sawirayaan haybadda iyo faanka ka sii badan kan boqornimada ee kursiga kibirka badan ee Rooma. Mana jirto awood kale oo si run ah loogu sheegi karo inay tahay ‘mid ka sakhraansan dhiigga quduusiinta’ sida kaniisaddaas oo si arxan-darro ah u silcisay kuwa raaca Masiixa. Baabuloon waxaa kaloo lagu eedeeyey dembiga xidhiidhka sharci-darrada ah ay la leedahay ‘boqorrada dhulka.’ Waxay ahayd ka leexashada Rabbiga iyo isbahaysiga la galay quruumaha aan Ilaah aqoon in kaniisadda Yuhuuddu ku noqotay dhillo; Roomana, iyadoo si la mid ah isu fasahaadinaysa oo raadinaysa taageerada quwadaha dunida, waxay heshay xukun la mid ah.” Dagaalkii Weynaa, 382.

The governor is the king, and according to Isaiah, a king is a kingdom and is also the capital city of a kingdom.

Guddoomiyuhu waa boqorka, oo sida ku cad Ishacyaah, boqorku waa boqortooyo, sidoo kalena waa magaalada caasimadda ah ee boqortooyada.

> For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.

> Waayo, madaxa Suuriya waa Dimishaq, oo madaxa Dimishaqna waa Resiin; oo shan iyo lixdan sannadood gudahood ayaa reer Efrayim la jebin doonaa, si aanay mar dambe dad u ahaan. Oo madaxa Efrayim waa Samaariya, oo madaxa Samaariyana waa ina Remalyaah. Haddaaddaan rumaysan, xaqiiqdiina lama adkayn doono. Ishacyaah 7:8, 9.

According to the witness of Isaiah, a student of prophecy who awakens in July of 2023 to a prophetic testing process must recognize the prophetic symbolism of the “head” if he wishes to be established. If he doesn’t recognize and apply the symbolism of a “head” when called for, then he is not established. Those who disbelieve are not established, and therefore Isaiah is identifying two classes of worshippers in the last days who either are established or are not established. They are the same two classes who either have the “oil,” or they don’t have the “oil.”

Sida ku cad maragga Ishacyaah, ardayga waxsii sheegidda ee ku baraaruga bisha Luulyo ee sannadka 2023 si uu u galo hab imtixaan oo waxsii sheegid ah waa inuu gartaa astaanta waxsii sheegid ee “madax” haddii uu doonayo in la adkeeyo. Haddii uusan garan oo uusan dabaqin astaanta “madax” marka taas loo baahdo, markaas lama adkeeyo. Kuwa aan rumaysan lama adkeeyo, sidaas darteedna Ishacyaah wuxuu aqoonsanayaa laba qaybood oo caabudayaal ah maalmaha ugu dambeeya, kuwaas oo ama la adkeeyo ama aan la adkayn. Iyagu waa isla labadaas qaybood ee ama leh “saliidda,” ama aan lahayn “saliidda.”

One class that is established and has oil, receives the message of the Midnight Cry that began to be opened up in July of 2023, or they receive the strong delusion of Second Thessalonians. Their test is the formation of the image of the beast, and the way in which the beast is formed, whether the papal beast of the Dark Ages, or its image that is formed by the United States, or the threefold union that leads the world to Armageddon. This includes the necessity of recognizing that the “head,” the “king” the ruler of the other two powers that make up the threefold union, is the papal power.

Koox la aasaasay oo saliid leh waxay aqbashaa farriinta Qayladii Saqdhexe oo la bilaabay in la iftiimiyo bishii Luulyo 2023, ama waxay aqbashaa marin-habaabinta xooggan ee 2 Tesaloniika. Imtixaankoodu waa samaysanka sawirka bahalka, iyo habka bahalku u samaysmo—ha ahaado bahalkii baabtiiska ee Qarniyadii Mugdiga, ama sawirkiisa ay samayso Maraykanku, ama isbahaysiga saddex-geesoodka ah ee dunida u horseeda Armageddoon. Tani waxay ku jirtaa baahida lagama maarmaanka ah ee ah in la garto in “madaxa,” “boqorka,” oo ah kan xukuma labada quwadood ee kale ee ka kooban isbahaysiga saddex-geesoodka ah, uu yahay quwadda baabtiiska.

The “head,” the capital city of Judah was Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose to place His name.

“Madaxa,” oo ah caasimaddii Yahuudah, waxay ahayd Yeruusaalem, magaaladii Rabbigu doortay inuu magiciisa dhex dhigo.

> And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 1 Kings 14:21.

> Rehobocaam ina Sulaymaan wuxuu boqor ka noqday dalka Yahuudah. Rehobocaamna wuxuu jiray kow iyo afartan sannadood markuu boqornimada bilaabay, oo toddoba iyo toban sannadood ayuu Yeruusaalem ku boqor ahaa, taasoo ah magaaladii Rabbigu ka dhex doortay qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa’iil oo dhan inuu magiciisa halkaas dhigo. Oo hooyadiisna magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Nacmah oo ahayd reer Cammoon. 1 Boqorradii 14:21.

In the great controversy between Christ and Satan, Christ’s capital city, where He places His name, is Jerusalem, and Satan’s counterfeit was the literal city of Babylon that represents spiritual Babylon that great city in the last days. Satan places his name upon the head as a counterfeit of God’s city and capitol. The king that resides there is the mother of harlots who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. The mother of harlots is the papal power, and her daughters are the fallen Protestant churches, of which the premier fallen apostate church is the apostate Protestants of the United States.

Khilaafka weyn ee u dhexeeya Masiixa iyo Shayddaanka, magaalada caasimadda ah ee Masiixa, oo uu magiciisa saaro, waa Yeruusaalem; halka kan been-abuurka ah ee Shayddaanku yahay magaalada dhabta ah ee Baabuloon, taas oo matasha Baabuloonta ruuxiga ah, magaaladaas weyn ee maalmaha ugu dambeeya. Shayddaanku magiciisa wuxuu saaraa foodda, isagoo taas kaga dayaya magaalada iyo caasimadda Ilaah. Boqorka halkaas deggan waa hooyada dhilloyinka, taas oo sino la gasha boqorrada dunida. Hooyada dhilloyinku waa awoodda baabbanimada, gabdhaheeduna waa kaniisadaha Protestant-ka ee dhacay; kuwaas oo kaniisadda ugu horraysa ee dhacday ee riddowday ay tahay Protestant-yada riddowday ee Maraykanka.

Those apostate Protestants represent the Protestant horn of the earth beast, and they are connected with their mother since their rejection of the prophetic message that was unsealed in 1798. Their counterpart, the Republican horn, is connected with the kings of the earth through their relationship with the United Nations, the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The threefold union which leads the world to Armageddon is represented by its head, where its name is placed, and spiritual modern Rome is spiritual modern Babylon. Its “head” is the papal power.

Protestantiyiintaas riddada ah waxay matalaan geeska Protestant-ka ee bahalka dhulka, waxayna ku xiran yihiin hooyadood tan iyo markii ay diideen farriintii nebinnimada ee la furfuray 1798. Wejigooda dhigga ah, geeska Jamhuuriga, wuxuu ku xiran yahay boqorrada dhulka iyada oo loo marayo xiriirkooda Qaramada Midoobay, oo ah tobanka boqor ee Muujintii toddoba iyo tobnaad. Midowga saddexleyda ah ee dunida u hoggaamiya Armageddoon waxaa lagu matalayaa madaxiisa, halkaas oo magiciisu yaallo, oo Rooma casriga ah ee ruuxiga ahi ay tahay Baabuloon casri ah oo ruuxi ah. “Madaxiisu” waa awoodda baabanimada.

The first represents the last and whether you apply Daniel chapter two as did the Millerites, as representing four kingdoms, or as has been opened up in the last days as representing eight kingdoms, the first kingdom was literal Babylon. The Millerites would inform you the last was literal Rome. Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols, for they are the first and the last of a prophetic line.

Kan kowaad wuxuu metelaa kan ugu dambeeya, oo haddii aad Daanyeel cutubka labaad u dabaqdo sidii ay sameeyeen Millerites-ku, isagoo matalaya afar boqortooyo, ama sidii loo furay maalmaha ugu dambeeya isagoo matalaya siddeed boqortooyo, boqortooyadii ugu horraysay waxay ahayd Baabuloon dhab ah. Millerites-ku waxay kuu sheegi lahaayeen in tii ugu dambaysay ay ahayd Rooma dhab ah. Baabuloon iyo Rooma waa astaamo la is-weydaarsan karo, waayo iyagu waa kan ugu horreeya iyo kan ugu dambeeya ee silsilad nebiyadeed.

In the last days the first kingdom of literal Babylon represents the eighth and last kingdom which is spiritual modern Babylon, and is also spiritual modern Rome. Upon the two witnesses represented in Daniel chapter two Babylon and Rome are interchangeable symbols.

Maalmaha ugu dambeeya boqortooyadii ugu horraysay ee Baabuloonta dhabta ahi waxay u taagan tahay boqortooyada siddeedaad oo ah tan ugu dambaysa, taas oo ah Baabuloonta casriga ah ee ruuxiga ah, isla markaana ah Rooma casriga ah ee ruuxiga ah. Marka loo eego labada markhaati ee lagu matalay Daanyeel cutubka labaad, Baabuloon iyo Rooma waa calaamado is-beddeli kara.

When the papal whore is portrayed with a name on her forehead that identifies “Mystery Babylon,” it is also identifying “mystery Rome.” A prophetic “mystery” represents a truth that is so profound that it is impossible to understand the depth of the truth represented therein, especially without the influence of the Holy Spirit. But a biblical “mystery” also demands that what is revealed in connection with the mystery is a required understanding for those who seek to pass the test. This is why two witnesses in Revelation emphasize the need to understand modern Rome.

Markii dhilladii baadarigu lagu sawiro iyada oo magac fooddeeda ku qoran yahay oo aqoonsanaya “Baabuloonta Qarsoon,” waxaa sidoo kale lagu aqoonsanayaa “Rooma Qarsoon.” “Qarsoodi” nebiyadeed waxay meteshaa run aad u qoto dheer oo aan suurtoobin in la fahmo gunta runta halkaas lagu metelay, gaar ahaan haddii aanu jirin saameynta Ruuxa Quduuska ahi. Laakiin “qarsoodi” kitaabiga ahi sidoo kale waxay dalbanaysaa in waxa la muujiyo ee la xiriira qarsoodiga uu noqdo faham lagama maarmaan u ah kuwa doonaya inay imtixaanka ka gudbaan. Tani waa sababta ay labada markhaati ee Muujintii u adkeeyaan baahida loo qabo in la fahmo Rooma casriga ah.

> 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.

> Halkan waxaa ku jirta xigmad. Kii waxgarasho leh ha tiriyo tirada bahalka, waayo waa tirada nin; tiradiisuna waa lix boqol iyo lixdan iyo lix. Muujintii 13:18.

“Wisdom” understands the number of the beast, which is the number of a man whose number is six, six, six. The “man of sin” is the head of the beast. Wisdom is an attribute of the wise virgins in the last days, and it is also a symbol of those who understand the increase of knowledge in the last days. Those who do not understand are foolish virgins and are the wicked. The “wisdom” they do not understand must of prophetic necessity be in the context of the final prophetic test, for this is when the wise and foolish virgins exist. They must understand “six, six, six.” The mind that has wisdom is also located by John in the last days in Revelation chapter seventeen.

“Hikmaddu” waxay garanaysaa tirada bahalka, taas oo ah tirada nin, tiradiisuna waa lix, lix, lix. “Ninkii dembiga” waa madaxa bahalka. Hikmaddu waa sifo ka mid ah bikradaha xigmadda leh ee maalmaha ugu dambeeya, sidoo kalena waa astaan u ah kuwa fahmaya korodhka aqoonta ee maalmaha ugu dambeeya. Kuwa aan fahmin waa bikrado nacas ah, waana kuwa sharka leh. “Hikmadda” ayan fahmin, sida lagama maarmaanka u ah waxsii sheegidda, waa inay ku jirtaa macnaha imtixaanka ugu dambeeya ee waxsii sheegidda, waayo waa markan ay bikradaha xigmadda leh iyo kuwa nacaska ahi jiraan. Waa inay fahmaan “lix, lix, lix.” Maskaxda leh hikmadda waxaa Yooxanaa sidoo kale ku meeleeyaa maalmaha ugu dambeeya ee Muujintii cutubka toddoba iyo tobnaad.

> And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 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. Revelation 17:9–11.

> Oo halkan waxaa ku jirta maskaxdii xigmadda leh. Toddobada madax waa toddoba buurood oo naagtu ku fadhido. Waxaana jira toddoba boqor: shan waa dhaceen, mid baa jira, kan kalena weli ma iman; oo markii uu yimaado, waa inuu sii jiraa wakhti gaaban. Bahalkii jiray, haddana aan jirin, kaas qudhiisu waa kii siddeedaad, wuxuuna ka mid yahay toddobada, oo halaag buu u socdaa. Muujintii 17:9–11.

The “mind” that has the wisdom to understand the number “six, six, six,” is a wise virgin who has obtained the “mind of Christ.”

“Maskaxda” leh xigmadda ay ku garan karto tirada “lix, lix, lix,” waa bikrad xigmad leh oo heshay “maskaxda Masiixa.”

> For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.

> Waayo, bal yaa gartay maanka Rabbiga si uu u waaniyo? Laakiin innagu waxa aynu leennahay maanka Masiixa. 1 Korintos 2:16.

The class of wise virgins have the mind of Christ, and the foolish wicked virgins have the mind of Christ’s adversary.

Kooxda bikradaha xigmadda leh waxay leeyihiin maanka Masiixa, bikradaha nacasyada ah ee sharka lehna waxay leeyihiin maanka cadowga Masiixa.

> “The time has come for the true light to shine amid moral darkness. The third angel’s message has been sent forth to the world, warning men against receiving the mark of the beast or of his image in their foreheads or in their hands. To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.

> “Waqtigii waa yimid iftiinka runta ahu inuu ka dhex iftiimo gudcurka anshaxa. Farriintii malaa’igta saddexaad ayaa loo diray dunida, iyadoo dadka looga digayo inay qaataan calaamadda bahalka ama tan sanamkiisa fooddooda ama gacmahooda ku taal. In la qaato calaamaddan waxay ka dhigan tahay in la gaaro isla go’aankii bahalku gaaray, oo la taageero isla fikradihii uu qabo, taasoo si toos ah uga soo horjeedda ereyga Ilaah.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897.

The formation of the image of the beast is the final test for the virgins of the parable, and the wise have the mind of Christ, for they have come to the same decision as Christ, for they have submitted their wills unto the Holy Spirit’s direction. The formation of the image of Christ in the wise virgins contrasts with the formation of the image of the beast in the foolish virgins. The foolish virgins come to the same decision as the beast, for they became confused upon the test question concerning the correct identification of the antichrist, who is the counterfeit king of the north and the head of modern Rome.

Samaysanka ekaanshaha bahalka waa imtixaanka ugu dambeeya ee bikradaha masaalku ka hadlayo, kuwa caqliga lehina waxay leeyihiin maanka Masiixa, waayo waxay gaadheen isla go’aankii Masiixu gaadhay, maxaa yeelay waxay doonistoodii u hoos geeyeen hanuunka Ruuxa Quduuska ah. Samaysanka ekaanshaha Masiixa ee bikradaha caqliga leh wuxuu ka soo horjeedaa samaysanka ekaanshaha bahalka ee bikradaha nacasyada ah. Bikradaha nacasyada ahi waxay gaadhaan isla go’aanka bahalka, waayo waxay ku wareereen su’aasha imtixaanka ee ku saabsan aqoonsiga saxda ah ee kan Masiixa ka geesta ah, kaas oo ah boqorka woqooyi ee been-abuurka ah iyo madaxa Rooma casriga ah.

> “Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.

> “Kuwa ku wareera fahamkooda ku saabsan Erayga, oo ku guuldarraysta inay arkaan macnaha kan Masiixa ka geesta ah, hubaal waxay isu taagi doonaan dhinaca kan Masiixa ka geesta ah.” Kress Collection, 105.

The foolish virgins in the testing time that is represented as the formation of the image of the beast become confused in their understanding of the word. Their confusion is premised upon misunderstanding God’s prophetic word, and failing to see the correct meaning of Modern Rome, they receive strong delusion, come to the same decision as the beast, and advocate the same papal ideas in direct opposition to the word of God, and place themselves on the side of antichrist.

Bikradaha nacasyada ah, xilligii imtixaanka ee lagu matalay samaysanka ekaanta bahalka, waxay ku wareeraan fahamkooda ereyga. Wareerkoodu wuxuu ku salaysan yahay inay si qaldan u fahmeen erayga nebiyadeed ee Ilaah, oo maadaama ay ku fashilmeen inay arkaan macnaha saxda ah ee Rooma Casriga ah, waxay qaataan khiyaano xoog leh, waxay gaadhaan isla go’aankii bahalku gaadhay, oo waxay taageeraan isla fikradaha baabbanimo si toos ah uga soo horjeeda ereyga Ilaah, waxayna isa saaraan dhinaca ka geeskan.
