There is a transition of both the Republican and the true Protestant horn of the earth beast that began in the year 2020. The true Protestant horn was slain on July 18, 2020, and the Republican horn was slain on November 3, 2020. According to Revelation chapter eleven, after three and a half symbolic days they will once again stand upon their feet. When they stand, the true Protestant horn will transition from Laodiceans to Philadelphians. They will have been taken out of a church, and brought into a movement. They have been taken out of the experience of the seventh church, into the experience of the sixth church. They have become the eighth, that is of the seven.

Kumekuwa na mpito wa pembe zote mbili—ya Ujamhuri na ya Uprotestanti wa kweli—za mnyama wa nchi ulioanza mwaka 2020. Pembe ya Uprotestanti wa kweli iliuawa tarehe 18 Julai 2020, na pembe ya Ujamhuri iliuawa tarehe 3 Novemba 2020. Kulingana na Ufunuo sura ya kumi na moja, baada ya siku tatu na nusu za ishara watasimama tena juu ya miguu yao. Watakaposimama, pembe ya Uprotestanti wa kweli itapitia mpito kutoka Walaodikia hadi Wafiladelfia. Watakuwa wametolewa kutoka kanisani, na kuingizwa katika harakati. Wametolewa katika uzoefu wa kanisa la saba, na kuingizwa katika uzoefu wa kanisa la sita. Wamekuwa wa nane, yaani wa hao saba.

The movement at the beginning of Adventism was the Philadelphian movement, and the Philadelphian movement is restored at the end. The work of the three angels of Revelation chapter fourteen, began as a movement, and it will end as a movement. The Philadelphian movement, represented by the sixth church of Philadelphia died in 1856, and beginning at the end of July in 2023, it is now being resurrected as the eighth, that is of the seven.

Harakati mwanzoni mwa Uadventista ilikuwa Harakati ya Filadelfia, na Harakati ya Filadelfia inarejeshwa mwishoni. Kazi ya malaika watatu wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nne ilianza kama harakati, na itatamatika kama harakati. Harakati ya Filadelfia, iliyowakilishwa na kanisa la sita la Filadelfia, ilikufa mwaka 1856, na kuanzia mwishoni mwa Julai mwaka 2023, sasa inafufuliwa kama ya nane, ambayo ni ya wale saba.

In the same history, the Republican horn is experiencing a parallel death and resurrection, with the sixth president since Reagan at the time of the end in 1989 becoming the eighth president, who is of the seven. The process of transitioning for the Republican horn is represented by its merging together with the horn of apostate Protestantism, which is spiritual fornication and the image of the beast. The Republican horn becomes the eighth, that is of the seven, for it represents an image of the beast of Catholicism, that is the eighth head, that is of the seven heads, in Revelation chapter seventeen, and in Daniel chapter two.

Katika historia hiyo hiyo, pembe ya Republican inapitia kifo na ufufuo sambamba, ambapo rais wa sita tangu Reagan wakati wa mwisho mwaka 1989 anakuwa rais wa nane, ambaye ni wa wale saba. Mchakato wa mpito wa pembe ya Republican unaonyeshwa na kuungana kwake na pembe ya Uprotestanti uliopotoka, kuungana huko ni uzinzi wa kiroho na picha ya mnyama. Pembe ya Republican inakuwa ya nane, yaani iliyo ya wale saba, kwa kuwa inawakilisha picha ya mnyama wa Ukatoliki, ambaye ni kichwa cha nane, aliye wa wale vichwa saba, katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi na saba, na katika Danieli sura ya pili.

The political transition of the horn of Republicanism is represented in the period of preparation from 1776 unto 1798. That prophetic period is a necessary key to recognize the unsealing of the hidden secret of Nebuchadnezzar’s image of the beasts. That period of preparation is represented by the period of a thirty-year preparation for both Christ and the antichrist.

Mpito wa kisiasa wa pembe ya itikadi ya ujamhuri unawakilishwa katika kipindi cha maandalizi kuanzia 1776 hadi 1798. Kipindi hicho cha kinabii ni ufunguo unaohitajika ili kutambua kufunuliwa kwa siri iliyofichika ya sanamu ya wanyama ya Nebukadneza. Kipindi hicho cha maandalizi kinawakilishwa na kipindi cha maandalizi ya miaka thelathini kwa wote wawili, Kristo na mpinga-Kristo.

The sealing time from September 11, 2001 unto the soon coming Sunday law is the prophetic period where the effect of every vision is accomplished. It represents the period that ends with the papacy returning to the throne of the earth as the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven, at the hour of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven. It has therefore been typified by the period that preceded the first time the papacy was enthroned in 538. In 538 the papacy passed a Sunday law at the Council of Orleans, identifying the end of the thirty years of preparation, and typifying the soon coming Sunday law. Jesus never changes, so there must be a period that precedes the Sunday law where the deadly wound is healed, as there was the first time the papacy was enthroned.

Wakati wa kutiwa muhuri kuanzia Septemba 11, 2001 hadi sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni ni kipindi cha kinabii ambacho athari ya kila maono hutimia. Kinawakilisha kipindi kinachomalizika kwa upapa kurejea kwenye kiti cha enzi cha dunia kama ufalme wa nane, ambao ni wa wale saba, katika saa ya “tetemeko kuu la nchi” la Ufunuo sura ya kumi na moja. Kwa hiyo kimefananishwa na kipindi kilichotangulia mara ya kwanza upapa kutawazwa mwaka 538. Mnamo 538 upapa ulipitisha sheria ya Jumapili katika Mtaguso wa Orleans, jambo lililotambulisha mwisho wa miaka thelathini ya maandalizi, na kufananisha sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni. Yesu habadiliki kamwe, kwa hiyo lazima kuwe na kipindi kinachotangulia sheria ya Jumapili ambapo jeraha la mauti linaponywa, kama ilivyokuwa mara ya kwanza upapa ulipotawazwa.

That period is represented by the histories associated with the waymarks of the years 508, 533 and 538. In the year 508 the period of preparation, or the setting up of the papacy began. The fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, a dragon power, had been subdued, and in 533, Justinian decreed that the papacy was the “head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics.” All that was left in order for the papacy to take control in 538, was the removal of the Goths from the City of Rome, and that took place in the year 538. That thirty-year line of history ran parallel to the birth of Christ, that was followed by the ministry of John, that led to the empowerment of Jesus as the Messiah at His baptism.

Kipindi hicho kinawakilishwa na historia zinazohusishwa na alama za njia za miaka 508, 533 na 538. Mnamo mwaka 508, kipindi cha maandalizi, yaani kuanzishwa kwa upapa, kilianza. Ufalme wa nne wa Rumi ya kipagani, nguvu ya joka, ulikuwa umetiishwa, na mnamo 533, Justinian alitoa amri kwamba upapa ulikuwa “kichwa cha makanisa, na pia mrekebishaji wa wazushi.” Kilichobaki tu ili upapa uchukue udhibiti mnamo 538 kilikuwa kuondolewa kwa Wagothi kutoka Jiji la Roma, na hilo lilitokea mnamo mwaka 538. Mstari huo wa historia wa miaka thelathini ulienda sambamba na kuzaliwa kwa Kristo, jambo ambalo lilifuatwa na huduma ya Yohana, iliyopelekea Yesu kupewa mamlaka kama Masihi katika ubatizo wake.

The period of preparation in the history of Christ runs parallel with the sealing time, and it addresses the internal line of the Protestant horn, while the period of preparation for the antichrist addresses the external line of the Republican horn. Those two periods provide two witnesses of September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon coming Sunday law. One period is emphasizing the external and the other the internal testimony of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Kipindi cha maandalizi katika historia ya Kristo kinaenda sambamba na wakati wa kutiwa muhuri, na kinashughulikia mstari wa ndani wa pembe ya Kiprotestanti, ilhali kipindi cha maandalizi cha Mpinga Kristo kinashughulikia mstari wa nje wa pembe ya Kirepublikani. Vipindi hivyo viwili vinatoa mashahidi wawili wa Septemba 11, 2001, Oktoba 7, 2023, na sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni. Kipindi kimoja kinasisitiza ushuhuda wa nje, na kingine ushuhuda wa ndani wa wakati wa kutiwa muhuri wa elfu mia arobaini na nne.

The work of John, as the voice in the wilderness who prepared the way for the Messenger of the Covenant, paralleled the decree of Justinian that prepared the way for the man of sin, who is the messenger of the covenant of death. October 7, 2023 was the warning of what is going to happen when the Sunday law is enforced, as it was in 538. October 7, 2023 parallels 533 in the period of preparation for the first time the papacy was placed on the throne of the earth. It is the warning that at the soon-coming Sunday law, as in 538, the pope will once again become both the head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics. It is also the warning of the escalating warfare of Islam of the third woe.

Kazi ya Yohana, kama sauti ya mtu aliyelia nyikani aliyemtayarishia njia Mjumbe wa Agano, ililingana na amri ya Justinian iliyotayarisha njia kwa mtu wa dhambi, ambaye ni mjumbe wa agano la mauti. Oktoba 7, 2023 ilikuwa onyo la kile kitakachotokea wakati sheria ya Jumapili itakapotekelezwa, kama ilivyokuwa mwaka 538. Oktoba 7, 2023 inalingana na mwaka 533 katika kipindi cha maandalizi kabla ya upapa kuwekwa kwa mara ya kwanza juu ya kiti cha enzi cha dunia. Hili ni onyo kwamba katika sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja karibuni, kama ilivyokuwa mwaka 538, Papa atakuwa tena mkuu wa makanisa, na pia msahihishaji wa wazushi. Ni onyo pia juu ya kuongezeka kwa vita vya Uislamu vya ole wa tatu.

It is the warning identifying Islam (tidings of the east), and the warning of the restoration of the pope (tidings of the north). That warning coincides with the work of the messenger who prepares the way in the last days, for the Messenger of the Covenant, who is to then enter into covenant with the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Ni onyo linaloainisha Uislamu (habari za mashariki), na onyo kuhusu kurejeshwa kwa Papa (habari za kaskazini). Onyo hilo linaendana na kazi ya mjumbe anayemtayarisha njia katika siku za mwisho, kwa ajili ya Mjumbe wa Agano, ambaye kisha ataingia katika agano pamoja na elfu mia moja arobaini na nne.

The three periods of preparation (the thirty years of Christ and the antichrist, and the sealing time), are also typified by the period of 1776 unto 1798. The ending of the earth beast has a specific period which precedes its ending as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, therefore, the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy must have a prophetic period that precedes the beginning of that kingdom. Alpha and Omega always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

Vipindi vitatu vya maandalizi (miaka thelathini ya Kristo na ya Mpinga-Kristo, na kipindi cha kutiwa muhuri), pia vinawakilishwa kwa mfano na kipindi cha 1776 hadi 1798. Mwisho wa mnyama wa nchi una kipindi maalum kinachoutangulia mwisho wake kama ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia; kwa hiyo, mwanzo wa mnyama wa nchi kama ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia lazima pia uwe na kipindi cha kinabii kinachotangulia mwanzo wa ufalme huo. Alfa na Omega daima huonyesha mwisho wa jambo pamoja na mwanzo wake.

1776, 1789 and 1798 represent September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon-coming Sunday law. From 1776 unto 1798 the prophetic preparation of the setting up of the sixth kingdom was accomplished, just as the years 508, 533, and 538 represented the preparation of the setting up of the fifth kingdom. They must have these same prophetic characteristics, for the sixth kingdom is to be the image of the fifth kingdom.

1776, 1789 na 1798 zinawakilisha 11 Septemba 2001, 7 Oktoba 2023, na sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni. Kuanzia 1776 hadi 1798 maandalizi ya kinabii ya kuanzishwa kwa ufalme wa sita yalikamilishwa, kama vile miaka 508, 533, na 538 ilivyowakilisha maandalizi ya kuanzishwa kwa ufalme wa tano. Lazima viwe na sifa zilezile za kinabii, kwa kuwa ufalme wa sita utakuwa mfano wa ufalme wa tano.

The thirty years of Christ’s preparation leading to His baptism represent the same period, for when Christ came to confirm the covenant for one week, beginning at His baptism, He was setting up His kingdom of grace. In setting up His kingdom of grace in those seven years, He shed His blood to confirm that kingdom, and in so doing, He left the example of when He would set up His kingdom of glory. That kingdom of glory is the kingdom of Daniel two, that is represented as a stone that is cut out of a mountain without hands. That kingdom Sister White informs us is set up during the latter rain, and the latter rain began on September 11, 2001.

Miaka thelathini ya maandalizi ya Kristo iliyoongoza hadi ubatizo Wake inawakilisha kipindi kilekile, kwa kuwa Kristo alipoja kuthibitisha agano kwa muda wa juma moja, kuanzia ubatizo Wake, alikuwa akiweka ufalme Wake wa neema. Katika kuuweka ufalme Wake wa neema katika ile miaka saba, alimwaga damu Yake ili kuuthibitisha ufalme huo, na kwa kufanya hivyo, aliacha mfano wa wakati atakapoweka ufalme Wake wa utukufu. Ufalme huo wa utukufu ndio ule wa Danieli sura ya pili, unaowakilishwa kama jiwe lililokatwa kutoka mlimani bila mikono. Kuhusu ufalme huo, Dada White anatufahamisha kwamba unawekwa wakati wa mvua ya masika, na mvua ya masika ilianza Septemba 11, 2001.

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

> Mvua ya masika inakuja juu ya wale walio safi—basi wote hao wataipokea kama hapo kwanza.

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

> Malaika wanne watakapoachilia, Kristo atasimamisha ufalme wake. Hakuna anayepokea mvua ya masika ila wale wanaofanya yote wawezayo. Kristo angetusaidia. Wote wangeweza kuwa washindi kwa neema ya Mungu, kupitia damu ya Yesu. Mbingu yote ina nia katika kazi hiyo. Malaika wana nia. Spalding na Magan, 3.

On September 11, 2001 the four winds, which are represented as an angry horse (Islam) were released, and then held in check, while the one hundred and forty-four thousand are being sealed. 1776, 1789 and 1798 represent the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the three dates represent legal enactments that led to the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy being established. The second date of 1789 identifies the Constitution of the United States, and therefore it was the message that identified the Constitution as the twofold power that was to arrive in 1798, just as 533 was the announcement of the twofold power that would arrive in 538, and as John the Baptist announced the twofold power which would arrive at Christ’s baptism.

Tarehe 11 Septemba, 2001, pepo nne, ambazo zinawakilishwa kama farasi mwenye hasira (Uislamu), ziliachiliwa, kisha zikazuiliwa, wakati wale elfu mia arobaini na nne wanatiwa muhuri. Tarehe 1776, 1789 na 1798 zinawakilisha kipindi cha kutiwa muhuri kwa wale elfu mia arobaini na nne, na tarehe hizo tatu zinawakilisha sheria zilizopitishwa ambazo zilisababisha kuanzishwa kwa ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia. Tarehe ya pili ya 1789 inabainisha Katiba ya Marekani, na hivyo ilikuwa ujumbe uliobainisha Katiba kuwa mamlaka mbili zilizotarajiwa kufika mwaka 1798, kama vile mwaka 533 ulikuwa tangazo la mamlaka mbili ambazo zingewasili mwaka 538, na kama vile Yohana Mbatizaji alitangaza mamlaka mbili ambazo zingewasili wakati wa ubatizo wa Kristo.

The two powers that make up the twofold power of Christ was His example that divinity combined with humanity does not sin. The two powers that make up the twofold power of the antichrist was his enthronement as the head of the churches, and his enthronement as the corrector of heretics. The two powers of that make up the twofold power of the earth beast are the two horns of Republicanism and Protestantism.

Nguvu mbili zinazounda nguvu maradufu za Kristo zilikuwa mfano wake kwamba uungu uliounganishwa na ubinadamu hautendi dhambi. Nguvu mbili zinazounda nguvu maradufu za Mpinga Kristo zilikuwa kutawazwa kwake kuwa kichwa cha makanisa, na kutawazwa kwake kuwa msahihishaji wa wenye uzushi. Nguvu mbili zinazounda nguvu maradufu za mnyama wa nchi ni pembe mbili za Ujamhuri na Uprotestanti.

> “‘And he had two horns like a lamb.’ The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as ‘coming up’ in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that ‘all men are created equal’ and endowed with the inalienable right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 441.

> "'Naye alikuwa na pembe mbili kama mwana-kondoo.' Pembe za mfano wa mwana-kondoo zinaashiria ujana, kutokuwa na hatia, na upole, zikiwakilisha ipasavyo tabia ya Marekani ilipoonyeshwa kwa nabii kama 'ikichipuka' mwaka 1798. Miongoni mwa wakimbizi Wakristo waliokimbilia kwanza Amerika na kutafuta hifadhi dhidi ya ukandamizaji wa kifalme na kutovumiliana kwa makasisi kulikuwa na wengi waliodhamiria kuanzisha serikali juu ya msingi mpana wa uhuru wa kiraia na wa kidini. Maoni yao yalipata nafasi katika Tamko la Uhuru, linaloeleza wazi ukweli mkuu kwamba 'wanadamu wote wameumbwa sawa' na wamepewa haki isiyoweza kunyang'anywa ya 'uhai, uhuru, na kutafuta furaha.' Nayo Katiba inawahakikishia watu haki ya kujitawala, kwa kuweka masharti kwamba wawakilishi wanaochaguliwa kwa kura ya wengi watatunga na kusimamia sheria. Uhuru wa imani ya kidini pia ulitolewa, kila mtu akiruhusiwa kumwabudu Mungu kulingana na matakwa ya dhamiri yake. Itikadi ya kijamhuri na Uprotestanti zikawa kanuni za msingi za taifa. Kanuni hizi ndizo siri ya nguvu zake na ustawi wake. Waliokandamizwa na waliokanyagwa kote katika ulimwengu wa Ukristo wamegeukia nchi hii kwa shauku na tumaini. Mamilioni wamekimbilia fukwe zake, na Marekani imeinuka hadi nafasi miongoni mwa mataifa yenye nguvu zaidi duniani." The Great Controversy, 441.

1776, 1789 and 1798 represent three histories that emphasize that the eighth, is of the seven. 1776 represents the publication of the Declaration of Independence, and the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses. 1789 represents the publication of the Constitution and the History of the Articles of Confederation. 1798 represents the publication of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

1776, 1789 na 1798 zinawakilisha historia tatu zinazosisitiza kwamba wa nane ni wa wale saba. 1776 inawakilisha kuchapishwa kwa Tamko la Uhuru, na historia ya Mikutano ya Bara ya Kwanza na ya Pili. 1789 inawakilisha kuchapishwa kwa Katiba na historia ya Mkataba wa Muungano. 1798 inawakilisha kuchapishwa kwa Sheria za Wageni na Uchochezi, na mwanzo wa mnyama wa nchi kama ufalme wa sita wa unabii wa Biblia.

The First Continental Congress occurred in 1774, and was a pivotal institution in the early history of the United States, serving as a governing body during the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Congresses are divided into two prophetic periods of the first congress and the last congress. The First Continental Congress had two presidents and convened in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26, 1774. Peyton Randolph was the first president of the meeting from September 5 to October 22, and then Henry Middleton presided for the next five days until October 26, 1774.

Mkutano wa Kwanza wa Bara ulifanyika mwaka 1774, na ulikuwa taasisi muhimu sana katika historia ya mwanzo ya Marekani, ukihudumu kama chombo cha utawala wakati wa Vita vya Mapinduzi ya Marekani. Mikutano ya Bara imegawanywa katika vipindi viwili vya kinabii vya mkutano wa kwanza na mkutano wa mwisho. Mkutano wa Kwanza wa Bara ulikuwa na marais wawili na ulikusanyika jijini Philadelphia kuanzia Septemba 5 hadi Oktoba 26, 1774. Peyton Randolph alikuwa rais wa kwanza wa mkutano kuanzia Septemba 5 hadi Oktoba 22, kisha Henry Middleton akaongoza kwa siku tano zilizofuata hadi Oktoba 26, 1774.

The Second Continental Congress occurred from 1775 until 1781. The Second Continental Congress had six presidents during its existence. Peyton Randolph presided as president from May 10, 1775 until May 24, 1775. He was the first president of both the First and also of the Second Continental Congresses. There was a total of eight presidents during the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses.

Kongresi ya Bara ya Pili ilifanyika kuanzia 1775 hadi 1781. Kongresi hiyo ilikuwa na marais sita katika kipindi chote cha uwepo wake. Peyton Randolph alihudumu kama rais kuanzia Mei 10, 1775 hadi Mei 24, 1775. Alikuwa rais wa kwanza wa Kongresi ya Bara ya Kwanza na pia ya Pili. Kulikuwa na jumla ya marais wanane katika historia ya Kongresi za Bara, ya Kwanza na ya Pili.

The second president of the Second Continental Congress was John Hancock, and Hancock presided from May 24, 1775 until October 31, 1777. Henry Laurens presided from November 1, 1777 until December 9, 1778. John Jay presided from December 10, 1778 until September 28, 1779. Samuel Huntington presided from September 28, 1779 until July 9, 1781. Thomas McKean presided from July 10, 1781 until November 4, 1781.

Rais wa pili wa Kongresi ya Bara ya Pili alikuwa John Hancock, na Hancock aliongoza kuanzia 24 Mei 1775 hadi 31 Oktoba 1777. Henry Laurens aliongoza kuanzia 1 Novemba 1777 hadi 9 Desemba 1778. John Jay aliongoza kuanzia 10 Desemba 1778 hadi 28 Septemba 1779. Samuel Huntington aliongoza kuanzia 28 Septemba 1779 hadi 9 Julai 1781. Thomas McKean aliongoza kuanzia 10 Julai 1781 hadi 4 Novemba 1781.

Peyton Randolph was the first president of both the First and Second Continental Congresses. This identifies that during the two periods of the Continental Congresses there were eight presidents, but the president that was the first president of each of the two periods was the same person. Therefore, though there were eight presidential terms, there were actually only seven presidents. The first president was of the seven men who were presidents, but as Randolph presided twice in that history, he also represents the eighth, that was of the seven.

Peyton Randolph alikuwa rais wa kwanza wa Kongresi ya Kwanza na ya Pili ya Bara. Hii inaonyesha kwamba katika vipindi viwili vya Kongresi za Bara kulikuwa na marais wanane, lakini rais ambaye alikuwa wa kwanza katika kila moja ya vipindi hivyo viwili alikuwa mtu yuleyule. Kwa hivyo, ingawa kulikuwa na mihula minane ya urais, kwa kweli kulikuwa na marais saba tu. Rais wa kwanza alikuwa miongoni mwa wale wanaume saba waliokuwa marais, lakini kwa kuwa Randolph aliongoza mara mbili katika historia hiyo, yeye pia anawakilisha wa nane, aliye miongoni mwa hao saba.

In the history of the Continental Congresses, the Revolutionary War was managed by the Congress. For this reason, George Washington was never a president in that period, for he had been appointed as the first Commander and Chief over the military.

Katika historia ya Kongresi za Bara, Vita vya Mapinduzi vilisimamiwa na Kongresi. Kwa sababu hiyo, George Washington hakuwahi kuwa rais katika kipindi hicho, kwa kuwa alikuwa ameteuliwa kuwa Amiri Jeshi Mkuu wa kwanza wa jeshi.

Being the first president of both periods Randolph represents two witnesses typifying the first actual president, who was George Washington. Washington is represented by Randolph, and therefore Randolph, as a symbol of Washington, conveys both the prophetic characteristics of Randolph the first president, but also that Randolph was the eighth, that was of the seven. Thus George Washington, as the first president and the first Commander and Chief, was also prophetically the eighth, and was of the seven.

Kwa kuwa alikuwa rais wa kwanza wa nyakati zote mbili, Randolph anawakilisha mashahidi wawili wanaomfananisha na rais wa kwanza halisi, ambaye alikuwa George Washington. Washington anawakilishwa na Randolph, na hivyo Randolph, akiwa ishara ya Washington, anadhihirisha sifa za kinabii za Randolph, rais wa kwanza, lakini pia kwamba Randolph alikuwa wa nane, aliyetokana na wale saba. Hivyo George Washington, kama rais wa kwanza na Amiri Jeshi Mkuu wa kwanza, pia alikuwa wa nane kinabii, na alitokana na wale saba.

Jesus illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning, so the last president and Commander and Chief will be the eighth, that is of the seven. This prophetic fact is established in the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses which is represented by the date of the first waymark of 1776, and publication of the Declaration of Independence.

Yesu anaonyesha mwisho wa jambo kwa mwanzo wake, hivyo rais wa mwisho na Kamanda na Mkuu atakuwa wa nane, yaani wa wale saba. Ukweli huu wa kinabii unathibitishwa katika historia ya Bunge la Bara la Kwanza na la Pili, ambayo inawakilishwa na tarehe ya alama ya kwanza ya njia ya 1776 na kuchapishwa kwa Tamko la Uhuru.

The waymark of 1776 typifies September 11, 2001, and the Patriot Act, where American independence was placed under the authority of Roman law, and no longer under English law. It marks the beginning of the prophetic period that prepares the way for the papacy to once again take the throne of the earth at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Alama ya njia ya 1776 inaashiria Septemba 11, 2001, na Sheria ya Patriot, ambapo uhuru wa Marekani uliwekwa chini ya mamlaka ya sheria ya Kirumi, na si tena chini ya sheria ya Kiingereza. Inaashiria mwanzo wa kipindi cha kinabii kinachoandaa njia ili upapa uchukue tena kiti cha enzi cha dunia wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja karibuni.

As with the prophetic period represented by 1776, the prophetic period represented the history from the conclusion of the Second Continental Congress in 1781 to 1789, which is the date that identifies the waymark associated with the publication of the Constitution. In that history there were also eight presidents. The history of 1781 to 1789 is the history of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation represented the first Constitution, but the weakness of the Articles of Confederation led to its replacement, and the ratification of the Constitution in 1789.

Kama ilivyo kwa kipindi cha kinabii kilichoakilishwa na 1776, kipindi cha kinabii hicho kiliwakilisha historia kuanzia hitimisho la Bunge la Pili la Bara mnamo 1781 hadi 1789; 1789 ndiyo tarehe inayotambulisha alama muhimu inayohusishwa na kuchapishwa kwa Katiba. Katika historia hiyo pia kulikuwa na marais wanane. Historia ya 1781 hadi 1789 ni historia ya Makala za Muungano. Makala za Muungano ziliwakilisha Katiba ya kwanza, lakini udhaifu wa Makala za Muungano ulisababisha zibadilishwe, na Katiba ikaridhiwa mnamo 1789.

In that period the eight presidents consisted of seven presidents who were not presidents in the history of the two Continental Congresses, and one who was also a president in that first prophetic period. John Hancock served in both the second Continental Congress, and also in the period represented by the Articles of Confederation. At the prophetic level, there were only seven men who were president during the two Continental Congresses, thus prophetically John Hancock was one of the eight in the period of the Articles of Confederation, but he was also one of the seven men from the previous period. He was therefore the eighth, that was of the seven.

Katika kipindi hicho, marais wanane walijumuisha marais saba ambao hawakuwahi kuwa marais wakati wa Mikutano ya Bara miwili, na mmoja ambaye pia alikuwa rais katika kile kipindi cha kwanza cha kinabii. John Hancock alihudumu katika Mkutano wa Bara wa Pili, na pia katika kipindi kilichowakilishwa na Mkataba wa Shirikisho. Kwa kiwango cha kinabii, kulikuwa na wanaume saba tu waliokuwa marais wakati wa Mikutano ya Bara miwili; hivyo, kwa kinabii, John Hancock alikuwa miongoni mwa wanane katika kipindi cha Mkataba wa Shirikisho, lakini pia alikuwa mmoja wa wale wanaume saba wa kipindi kilichotangulia. Kwa hiyo alikuwa wa nane, atokaye miongoni mwa wale saba.

The second prophetic period, represented by 1789, also had a president (Hancock) who was the eighth, but of the seven, as was Payton Randolph in the first prophetic period represented by 1776. 1789 aligns with and represents the January 6, 2021 Pelosi trials.

Kipindi cha pili cha kinabii, kinachowakilishwa na mwaka 1789, pia kilikuwa na rais (Hancock) aliyekuwa wa nane, lakini miongoni mwa wale saba, kama alivyokuwa Payton Randolph katika kipindi cha kwanza cha kinabii kilichowakilishwa na mwaka 1776. Mwaka 1789 unalingana na pia unawakilisha kesi za Pelosi za tarehe 6 Januari 2021.

> “The Lord has faithful watchmen on the walls of Zion to cry aloud and spare not, to lift up their voice like a trumpet, and show His people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins. The Lord has permitted the enemy of truth to make a determined effort against the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. He designs by this means to awaken a decided interest in that question which is a test for the last days. This will open the way for the third angel’s message to be proclaimed with power.

> Bwana ana walinzi waaminifu juu ya kuta za Sayuni, wapaze sauti kwa nguvu wasiache, wainue sauti yao kama tarumbeta, na kuwaonyesha watu wake maasi yao na nyumba ya Yakobo dhambi zao. Bwana amemruhusu adui wa ukweli kufanya juhudi thabiti dhidi ya Sabato ya amri ya nne. Anakusudia kwa njia hii kuamsha shauku ya dhati kuhusu swali hilo ambalo ni mtihani wa siku za mwisho. Hii itafungua njia kwa ujumbe wa malaika wa tatu kutangazwa kwa nguvu.

> “Let not one who believes the truth, be silent now. None should be careless now; let all urge their petitions at the throne of grace, pleading the promise, ‘Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do’ (John 14:13). It is a perilous time now. If this land of boasted liberty is preparing to sacrifice every principle which enters into her Constitution, making decrees to suppress religious freedom, and for the enforcing of papal falsehood and delusion, then the people of God need to present their petitions in faith to the Most High. There is every encouragement, in the promises of God, for those who put their trust in Him. The prospect of being brought into personal danger and distress, need not cause despondency, but should quicken the vigor and hopes of God’s people; for the time of their peril is the season for God to grant them clearer manifestations of His power.

> Mtu yeyote aaminiye ukweli asinyamaze sasa. Hakuna anayepaswa kuwa mzembe sasa; wote na wasisitize maombi yao katika kiti cha enzi cha neema, wakidai ahadi, 'Chochote mtakachoomba kwa jina langu, hilo ndilo nitakalofanya' (Yohana 14:13). Huu ni wakati wa hatari sasa. Ikiwa nchi hii inayojigamba kwa uhuru inajiandaa kutoa kafara kila kanuni inayounda Katiba yake, ikiweka maamrisho ya kukandamiza uhuru wa dini, na ya kutekeleza uongo na udanganyifu wa kipapa, basi watu wa Mungu wanahitaji kuwasilisha maombi yao kwa imani kwa Aliye Juu Zaidi. Kuna kila sababu ya kutiwa moyo katika ahadi za Mungu kwa wale wanaomtumainia. Uwezekano wa kuingizwa katika hatari na dhiki binafsi haupaswi kusababisha kukata tamaa, bali unapaswa kuchochea ari na matumaini ya watu wa Mungu; kwa maana wakati wa hatari yao ndio majira ambayo Mungu huwapa maonyesho yaliyo wazi zaidi ya nguvu Zake.

> “We are not to sit in calm expectancy of oppression and tribulation, and fold our hands, doing nothing to avert the evil. Let our united cries be sent up to heaven. Pray and work, and work and pray. But let none act rashly. Learn as never before that you must be meek and lowly in heart. You must not bring a railing accusation against any, whether individuals or churches. Learn to deal with minds as Christ did. Sharp things must sometimes be spoken; but be sure that the Holy Spirit of God is abiding in your heart before you speak the clear-cut truth; then let it cut its way. You are not to do the cutting.” Selected Messages, book 2, 370.

> Hatupaswi kuketi kwa utulivu tukitarajia dhuluma na dhiki, na kukunja mikono bila kufanya lolote kuzuia uovu. Hebu vilio vyetu vya pamoja vipelekwe mbinguni. Ombeni na fanyeni kazi, na fanyeni kazi na ombeni. Lakini mtu yeyote asitende kwa papara. Jifunzeni kuliko hapo awali kwamba lazima muwe wapole na wanyenyekevu wa moyo. Msilete shutuma za kukashifu dhidi ya yeyote, iwe watu binafsi au makanisa. Jifunzeni kushughulika na akili za watu kama Kristo alivyofanya. Mambo makali yanapaswa kunenwa wakati mwingine; lakini hakikisheni kwamba Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu anakaa mioyoni mwenu kabla ya kusema ile kweli iliyo wazi bayana; kisha iacheni ikate njia yake. Si kazi yenu kufanya ukataji. Ujumbe Teule, kitabu cha 2, 370.

The second waymark in the prophetic period of preparation represented by the Constitution identifies that the Constitution is to be overturned at the next waymark. That second waymark has been typified by John the Baptist, and also by the decree of Justinian, which both identified and presented a warning in connection with the arrival of the last event represented in the period. For John it was the empowerment of Christ as He confirmed His covenant of life with His precious blood, and for Justinian it was the empowerment of the antichrist, who was to ratify his covenant of death with the blood of the martyrs.

Alama ya njia ya pili katika kipindi cha kinabii cha maandalizi kinachoakilishwa na Katiba inaonyesha kwamba Katiba itapinduliwa katika alama ya njia inayofuata. Alama hiyo ya pili imetolewa mfano na Yohana Mbatizaji, na pia na amri ya Justinian; vyote viwili vilitambulisha na kutoa onyo kuhusiana na kuwasili kwa tukio la mwisho linalowakilishwa katika kipindi hicho. Kwa Yohana ilikuwa ni kupewa mamlaka kwa Kristo alipothibitisha agano lake la uzima kwa damu yake ya thamani, na kwa Justinian ilikuwa ni kupewa mamlaka kwa mpinga-Kristo, ambaye angeidhinisha agano lake la mauti kwa damu ya wafia dini.

The Constitution in 1789 identified the empowerment of the two horns of the earth beast, and in so doing, 1789 identified the soon coming destruction of the earth beast’s two horns of power, as represented by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798. When the two witnesses were slain in the streets in the year 2020, they identified and warned of a sustained attack upon the Constitution that are symbolized by the January 6, 2021, Pelosi trials.

Katiba ya mwaka 1789 ilitambua kutiwa nguvu kwa pembe mbili za mnyama wa nchi, na kwa kufanya hivyo, mwaka 1789 ulitambua uharibifu uliokuwa karibu kutokea wa pembe mbili za nguvu za mnyama wa nchi, kama unavyoakilishwa na Sheria za Wageni na Uasi za mwaka 1798. Wakati mashahidi wawili waliuawa mitaani mwaka 2020, walitambua na kuonya juu ya shambulio endelevu dhidi ya Katiba linaloashiriwa na kesi za Pelosi za tarehe 6 Januari 2021.

January 6, 2021 is the warning about the empowerment of the papacy at the soon-coming Sunday law, as typified by the decree of Justinian in the year 533. January 6, 2021 and the year 533, both give warning of the soon coming Sunday law, as typified by the Sunday law in 538 at the Council of Orleans, and by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, which typified the earth beast speaking as a dragon at the soon coming Sunday law.

Tarehe 6 Januari 2021 ni onyo kuhusu kuimarishwa kwa mamlaka ya upapa katika sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni, kama ilivyofananishwa na amri ya Justinian ya mwaka 533. Tarehe 6 Januari 2021 na mwaka 533 vyote vinatoa onyo la sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni, kama ilivyofananishwa na sheria ya Jumapili ya mwaka 538 katika Mtaguso wa Orléans, na pia na Sheria za Wageni na Uasi za mwaka 1798, ambazo zilifananisha mnyama wa nchi anayenena kama joka katika sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni.

At the Sunday law the deadly wound of the papacy will be healed, and the eighth head of Revelation chapter seventeen, that is of the seven heads, will be resurrected. The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, represents the earth beast speaking as a dragon, when it not only enforces the worship of the sun, but thereafter forces the entire world to accept the authority of the sea beast of Revelation chapter thirteen, as the eighth head that is of the seven heads. Therefore, in each of the three periods represented within the period of preparation by 1776, 1789 and 1798, the prophetic enigma of the eighth, being of the seven is prophetically represented.

Wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili jeraha la mauti la upapa litaponywa, na kichwa cha nane cha Ufunuo sura ya kumi na saba, ambacho ni miongoni mwa vile saba, kitafufuliwa. Sheria za Wageni na Uchochezi za mwaka 1798 zinawakilisha mnyama wa nchi akisema kama joka, wakati ambapo si tu analazimisha ibada ya jua, bali kisha analazimisha ulimwengu wote kuukubali mamlaka ya mnyama wa baharini wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi na tatu, kama kile kichwa cha nane ambacho ni miongoni mwa vile vichwa saba. Kwa hiyo, katika kila moja ya vipindi vitatu vinavyowakilishwa ndani ya kipindi cha maandalizi kwa njia ya 1776, 1789 na 1798, kitendawili cha kinabii cha cha nane kilicho cha saba kinaonyeshwa kwa kinabii.

The first two waymarks (1776 and 1789), that identify the enigma, address the riddle being accomplished within the prophetic history of the earth beast, and the third waymark identifies the enigma being accomplished for the papal power.

Alama mbili za kwanza za njia (1776 na 1789), ambazo hutambua fumbo hilo, hushughulikia kitendawili kinachotimizwa ndani ya historia ya kinabii ya mnyama wa nchi, na alama ya njia ya tatu hutambua fumbo linalotimizwa kwa ajili ya mamlaka ya kipapa.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Tutaendelea na utafiti huu katika makala ijayo.

> “‘Saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ Here is clearly presented a form of government in which the legislative power rests with the people, a most striking evidence that the United States is the nation denoted in the prophecy.

> "'Akiwaambia wale wakaao juu ya nchi, kwamba wamfanyie sanamu yule mnyama.' Hapa kunaonyeshwa wazi mfumo wa utawala ambamo mamlaka ya kutunga sheria iko mikononi mwa watu, ushahidi ulio dhahiri sana kwamba Marekani ndilo taifa linaloashiriwa katika unabii."

> “But what is the ‘image to the beast’? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the beast. It is also called an image of the beast. Then to learn what the image is like and how it is to be formed we must study the characteristics of the beast itself—the papacy.

> Lakini “sanamu kwa mnyama” ni nini? Na itaundwaje? Sanamu hiyo hufanywa na mnyama mwenye pembe mbili, nayo ni sanamu kwa yule mnyama. Pia huitwa sanamu ya mnyama. Basi, ili kujua sanamu hiyo ilivyo na jinsi itakavyoundwa, ni lazima tuchunguze sifa za mnyama huyo mwenyewe—upapa.

> “When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of ‘heresy.’ In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.

> Kanisa la awali lilipochafuliwa kwa kuiacha unyofu wa injili na kukubali ibada na desturi za kipagani, likapoteza Roho na nguvu za Mungu; na ili kudhibiti dhamiri za watu, likatafuta msaada wa mamlaka za kidunia. Matokeo yake yakawa upapa, kanisa lililodhibiti nguvu za dola na kuzitumia kuendeleza malengo yake yenyewe, hasa kwa kuadhibu 'uzushi.' Ili Marekani iunde sanamu ya mnyama, nguvu za kidini lazima zidhibiti serikali ya kiraia kiasi kwamba mamlaka ya dola pia yatatumika na kanisa kutimiza malengo yake yenyewe.

> “Whenever the church has obtained secular power, she has employed it to punish dissent from her doctrines. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. An example of this is given in the long-continued persecution of dissenters by the Church of England. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, thousands of nonconformist ministers were forced to flee from their churches, and many, both of pastors and people, were subjected to fine, imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom.

> Kila mara kanisa linapopata mamlaka ya kidunia, hutumia mamlaka hiyo kuwaadhibu wanaopinga mafundisho yake. Makanisa ya Kiprotestanti ambayo yamefuata nyayo za Roma kwa kuunda muungano na mamlaka za kidunia yameonyesha nia ileile ya kuzuia uhuru wa dhamiri. Mfano wa hili unaonekana katika mateso ya muda mrefu dhidi ya wasioafikiana yaliyofanywa na Kanisa la Uingereza. Katika karne ya kumi na sita na ya kumi na saba, maelfu ya wachungaji wasioafikiana walilazimishwa kukimbia makanisa yao, na wengi, wachungaji na waumini, waliadhibiwa kwa faini, kifungo, mateso, na kufa kishahidi.

> “It was apostasy that led the early church to seek the aid of the civil government, and this prepared the way for the development of the papacy—the beast. Said Paul: ‘There’ shall ‘come a falling away, … and that man of sin be revealed.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:3. So apostasy in the church will prepare the way for the image to the beast.

> Uasi ndio uliolisukuma kanisa la mwanzo kutafuta msaada wa serikali ya kiraia, na hilo likaandaa njia kwa kuibuka kwa upapa—mnyama. Paulo alisema: ‘Kutakuja uasi, ... na yule mtu wa dhambi atafunuliwa.’ 2 Wathesalonike 2:3. Hivyo uasi kanisani utaandaa njia kwa picha ya mnyama.

> “The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord there will exist a state of religious declension similar to that in the first centuries. ‘In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.’ 2 Timothy 3:1–5. ‘Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.’ 1 Timothy 4:1. Satan will work ‘with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ And all that ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ will be left to accept ‘strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9–11. When this state of ungodliness shall be reached, the same results will follow as in the first centuries.” The Great Controversy, 443, 444.

> Biblia yatangaza kwamba kabla ya kuja kwa Bwana kutakuwepo hali ya mmomonyoko wa kidini iliyo sawa na ile ya karne za kwanza. ‘Katika siku za mwisho nyakati za hatari zitakuja. Kwa maana watu watakuwa wenye kujipenda, wapenda mali, wenye kujisifu, wenye kiburi, watukanaji, wasiotii wazazi, wasio na shukrani, wasio watakatifu, wasio na upendo wa asili, wavunjaji wa maagano, wasingiziaji wa uongo, wasio na kiasi, wakali, wachukiao wema, wasaliti, wakaidi, wenye majivuno, wapendao anasa kuliko kumpenda Mungu; wenye mfano wa utauwa, lakini wakikana nguvu zake.’ 2 Timotheo 3:1-5. ‘Basi Roho anena waziwazi ya kwamba, katika nyakati za mwisho, wengine watajitenga na imani, wakisikiliza roho za udanganyifu, na mafundisho ya pepo.’ 1 Timotheo 4:1. Shetani atafanya kazi ‘kwa uwezo wote na ishara na maajabu ya uongo, na kwa udanganyifu wote wa udhalimu.’ Nao wote ‘wasioipokea upendo wa kweli, wapate kuokolewa,’ wataachwa wakubali ‘upotevu wenye nguvu, ili waamini uongo.’ 2 Wathesalonike 2:9-11. Hali hii ya kutokuwa na uchaji wa Mungu itakapofikiwa, matokeo yale yale yatafuata kama ilivyokuwa katika karne za kwanza. Pambano Kuu, 443, 444.
