The great controversy between Christ and Lucifer (the Light Bearer) began in heaven, and God allowed a time of probation. When Lucifer propagated his rebellion a period of time was allowed for the fruit of the Light Bearer’s rebellion to be manifested. When God determined that the probationary period had ended, Lucifer’s name changed from Lucifer the Light Bearer, to Satan, the Adversary. For Satan and the angels who had joined in his rebellion the probationary period had ended, and they were cast out of heaven, and condemned to everlasting fire.

Pambano kuu kati ya Kristo na Lusifa (Mbebaji wa Nuru) lilianza mbinguni, na Mungu aliruhusu kipindi cha rehema. Lusifa alipoeneza uasi wake, kipindi fulani kiliruhusiwa ili matunda ya uasi wa Mbebaji wa Nuru yadhihirishwe. Mungu alipoamua kwamba kipindi cha rehema kimekwisha, jina la Lusifa likabadilika kutoka Lusifa, Mbebaji wa Nuru, kuwa Shetani, Mpinzani. Kwa Shetani na malaika walioungana katika uasi wake, kipindi cha rehema kilikuwa kimekwisha, nao wakatupwa kutoka mbinguni, na kuhukumiwa kwa moto wa milele.

> Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25:41.

> Kisha atawaambia pia wale walioko upande wa kushoto, Ondokeni kwangu, enyi mliolaaniwa, mwende katika moto wa milele, uliotayarishwa kwa ajili ya Ibilisi na malaika zake. Mathayo 25:41.

The great controversy between Christ and Satan, thereafter arrived in the Garden of Eden, and once again God included a time of probation. When Satan accused God of lying about death and the fruit of the tree, and seduced Eve to join in his rebellion, a period of time was again allowed for the fruits of Satan’s rebellion to be manifested upon earth as it had been in heaven. Satan there received the additional name of the Devil, which means “the Accuser”. When probationary time (for the sons of Adam who have joined in Satan’s rebellion) ends, those sons of Adam will be condemned to everlasting fire.

Mapambano makuu kati ya Kristo na Shetani, kisha yakafika katika Bustani ya Edeni, na mara nyingine tena Mungu akaweka wakati wa rehema. Shetani alipomshtaki Mungu kuwa alisema uongo kuhusu mauti na tunda la mti, na akamdanganya Hawa ajiunge na uasi wake, kipindi kingine cha muda kiliaruhusiwa ili matunda ya uasi wa Shetani yaonekane duniani kama yalivyokuwa mbinguni. Hapo Shetani akapokea pia jina jingine, Ibilisi, ambalo maana yake ni “Mshtaki”. Wakati wa rehema (kwa wana wa Adamu walioungana na uasi wa Shetani) utakapokwisha, hao wana wa Adamu watahukumiwa adhabu ya moto wa milele.

> And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:7–9.

> Kulikuwa na vita mbinguni; Mikaeli na malaika zake wakapigana na yule joka; naye joka akapigana nao pamoja na malaika zake; wala hawakushinda, wala mahali pao hapakuonekana tena mbinguni. Yule joka mkuu akatupwa, yule nyoka wa zamani, aitwaye Ibilisi na Shetani, adanganyaye ulimwengu wote; akatupwa duniani, na malaika zake wakatupwa pamoja naye. Ufunuo 12:7-9.

The warfare in heaven in the beginning of the great controversy illustrates the warfare in the ending of the great controversy, for the Alpha and Omega always illustrate the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing. The description of the warfare that took place in heaven is introduced by a great wonder in heaven.

Vita vilivyotokea mbinguni mwanzoni mwa pambano kuu vinaonyesha vita vitakavyokuwa mwishoni mwa pambano kuu, kwa maana Alfa na Omega daima huonyesha mwisho wa jambo kupitia mwanzo wake. Maelezo ya vita vilivyotokea mbinguni yanatanguliwa na ajabu kuu mbinguni.

> And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. Revelation 12:1, 2.

> Na ishara kuu ikaonekana mbinguni; mwanamke aliyevikwa jua, na mwezi chini ya miguu yake, na juu ya kichwa chake taji ya nyota kumi na mbili: Naye akiwa na mimba akalia, akiwa katika utungu wa kuzaa, na akiumia ili kujifungua. Ufunuo 12:1, 2.

When the final conflict of the great controversy between Christ and Satan occurs, which is while probationary time is still in effect; the battlefield is represented in the Revelation of Jesus Christ as being in heaven. This truth is now being unsealed. The apostle Paul speaks of three heavens.

Wakati pambano la mwisho la Pambano Kuu kati ya Kristo na Shetani litakapofanyika, ambapo wakati wa rehema bado upo, uwanja wa vita unaonyeshwa katika Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo kuwa uko mbinguni. Ukweli huu sasa unafunuliwa. Mtume Paulo anazungumza juu ya mbingu tatu.

> “The apostle Paul early in his Christian experience was given special opportunities to learn the will of God concerning the followers of Jesus. He was ‘caught up to the third heaven,’ ‘into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.’ He himself acknowledged that many ‘visions and revelations’ had been given him ‘of the Lord.’ His understanding of the principles of gospel truth was equal to that of ‘the very chiefest apostles.’ 2 Corinthians 12:2, 4, 1, 11. He had a clear, full comprehension of ‘the breadth, and length, and depth, and height’ of ‘the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.’ Ephesians 3:18, 19.” Acts of the Apostles, 469.

> "Mtume Paulo, mapema katika uzoefu wake wa Kikristo, alipewa nafasi za pekee za kujifunza mapenzi ya Mungu kuhusu wafuasi wa Yesu. Alinyakuliwa ‘mpaka mbingu ya tatu,’ ‘hata peponi, akasikia maneno yasiyosemeka, ambayo si halali kwa mwanadamu kuyatamka.’ Yeye mwenyewe alikiri kwamba ‘maono na ufunuo’ mengi alikuwa amepewa ‘na Bwana.’ Ufahamu wake wa kanuni za ukweli wa injili ulikuwa sawa na ule wa ‘mitume walio wakuu kabisa.’ 2 Wakorintho 12:2, 4, 1, 11. Alikuwa na ufahamu ulio wazi na kamili wa ‘upana, na urefu, na kina, na kimo’ wa ‘upendo wa Kristo upitiao maarifa.’ Waefeso 3:18, 19." Matendo ya Mitume, 469.

The warfare in the beginning of the great controversy began in the third heaven, and the warfare at the ending of the great controversy ends in the first heaven. There are three heavens, the first being the heaven that represents the atmosphere of planet earth. The second heaven is the sun, moon, and stars. The third heaven is what Sister White called “paradise,” and it represents the location of God’s throne. It is in the very presence of God’s command center that the Light Bearer, Lucifer initiated his rebellion.

Vita mwanzoni mwa Pambano Kuu vilianza katika mbingu ya tatu, na vita mwishoni mwa Pambano Kuu vinamalizika katika mbingu ya kwanza. Kuna mbingu tatu; ya kwanza ni mbingu inayowakilisha anga ya sayari dunia. Mbingu ya pili ni jua, mwezi na nyota. Mbingu ya tatu ndiyo ambayo Dada White aliita "Paradiso," na inawakilisha mahali kilipo kiti cha enzi cha Mungu. Ni katika uwepo wa kituo cha amri cha Mungu ndipo Mbebaji wa Nuru, Lusifa, alianza uasi wake.

The third heaven is where some prophets, including Sister White have been taken to in vision. When Paul was there, he was shown the history of the awakening of the dead dry bones that had been slain in the street on July 18, 2020, and the events that followed with the birth of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Paul was forbidden to share that history, for that history was represented as a history that was not lawful to “utter.” Paul died a little over thirty years before John the Revelator received the vision of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. John, as with Paul, heard what was “uttered” by the seven thunders, and he too was told not to write what was “uttered.” What the seven thunders “uttered” was to remain sealed until the end of the three and a half symbolic days that the two witnesses had been dead in the street.

Mbingu ya tatu ndiko ambako baadhi ya manabii, wakiwemo Dada White, wamechukuliwa kwa maono. Wakati Paulo alipokuwa huko, alionyeshwa historia ya kuhuishwa kwa mifupa mikavu ya waliouawa mtaani tarehe 18 Julai 2020, na matukio yaliyofuata, pamoja na kuzaliwa kwa wale mia na arobaini na nne elfu. Paulo alikatazwa kuishiriki historia hiyo, kwa kuwa historia hiyo iliwakilishwa kama historia ambayo haikuruhusiwa “kutamkwa.” Paulo alikufa zaidi kidogo ya miaka thelathini kabla ya Yohana wa Ufunuo kupokea maono ya Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo. Yohana, kama Paulo, alisikia yale yaliyokuwa “yametamkwa” na ngurumo saba, naye pia akaambiwa asiandike yaliyokuwa “yametamkwa.” Yale ambayo ngurumo saba “zilitamka” yalipaswa kubaki yamefungwa hadi mwisho wa siku tatu na nusu za kiishara ambazo mashahidi wawili walikuwa wamekufa mtaani.

> And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. Revelation 10:4.

> Na radi saba zilipotoa sauti zao, nilikuwa karibu kuandika; nami nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikiniambia, Funga maneno hayo ambayo radi saba zilisema, wala usiyaandike. Ufunuo 10:4.

All the prophets testify of the “last days” of the investigative judgment, and those “last days” specifically began on September 11, 2001, and they have now reached the point where the sealing begins. The sealing begins at the ending of the three and a half symbolic days that the two slain witnesses were lying in the street. All the prophets agree with one another. Paul saw the battlefield of the last probationary war, that takes place in the first heaven. The battlefield of the last probationary war, that takes place within the first heaven, parallels the battlefield of the first probationary war, that took place in the third heaven. It might appear unnecessary to identify the battlefields as battles of the probationary war, but Satan, who was the adversary of Christ in the first battle and is the adversary of the one hundred and forty-four thousand in the last battle, knows his time is short. He knows it is a battle set within the field of probationary time. Do we?

Manabii wote hushuhudia kuhusu “siku za mwisho” za hukumu ya upelelezi, na hizo “siku za mwisho” zilianza hasa tarehe 11 Septemba 2001, na sasa zimefikia hatua ambayo kutiwa muhuri kunaanza. Kutiwa muhuri kunaanza mwishoni mwa siku tatu na nusu za mfano ambazo wale mashahidi wawili waliouawa walikuwa wamelala barabarani. Manabii wote wanakubaliana. Paulo aliona uwanja wa vita vya mwisho vya kipindi cha rehema, vinavyofanyika katika mbingu ya kwanza. Uwanja wa vita vya mwisho vya kipindi cha rehema, vinavyofanyika ndani ya mbingu ya kwanza, unalingana na uwanja wa vita vya kwanza vya kipindi cha rehema, vilivyofanyika katika mbingu ya tatu. Huenda ikaonekana si lazima kubainisha viwanja hivyo kuwa ni vya vita vya kipindi cha rehema, lakini Shetani, ambaye alikuwa mpinzani wa Kristo katika pambano la kwanza na ndiye mpinzani wa wale elfu mia moja arobaini na nne katika pambano la mwisho, anajua kwamba wakati wake ni mfupi. Anajua kwamba ni pambano lililowekwa ndani ya uwanja wa kipindi cha rehema. Je, sisi tunajua?

In 1840, the mighty angel descended and empowered the first angel’s message. The Protestants of that generation were then tested and they ended up with a name of rebellion attached to them as they were labeled the daughters of Babylon. Lucifer’s name also changed during his probationary testing time. The mighty angel that descended in 1840, typified the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen that descended on September 11, 2001. The investigative judgment had not yet begun in 1840, for it was still four years in the future, but the Protestants still provided a prophetic representation of the judgment of the living, for when the angel descended in 1840, their probationary testing time began. When the angel of Revelation eighteen descended in 2001, the judgment in heaven changed from the judgment of the dead, unto the judgment of the living.

Mnamo 1840, malaika hodari alishuka na kuutia nguvu ujumbe wa malaika wa kwanza. Waprotestanti wa kizazi hicho kisha wakajaribiwa, na mwishowe wakabandikwa jina la uasi walipoitwa binti za Babeli. Jina la Lusifa pia lilibadilika wakati wa kipindi chake cha kujaribiwa cha muda wa rehema. Malaika hodari aliyeshuka mwaka 1840 alikuwa kielelezo cha malaika hodari wa Ufunuo kumi na nane aliyeshuka Septemba 11, 2001. Hukumu ya upelelezi ilikuwa bado haijaanza mwaka 1840, maana ilikuwa bado miaka minne mbele, lakini Waprotestanti bado walitoa taswira ya kinabii ya hukumu ya walio hai, kwa kuwa malaika aliposhuka mwaka 1840, kipindi chao cha kujaribiwa cha muda wa rehema kilianza. Malaika wa Ufunuo kumi na nane aliposhuka mwaka 2001, hukumu mbinguni ilibadilika kutoka hukumu ya wafu kwenda hukumu ya walio hai.

On July 18, 2020, the first disappointment for the movement of the third angel, which is typified by the first disappointment of the movement of the first angel, arrived. In the movement at the beginning, the testing process of the Protestants ended at the waymark of the first disappointment, and then the testing of the first movement began. On July 18, 2020, the judgment process took another step forward, for the message that was to arrive at the end of the wilderness of three and a half days would not only be the perfect and final fulfillment of the message of the Midnight Cry, but it would also prophetically mark the arrival of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Tarehe 18 Julai 2020, kukatishwa tamaa ya kwanza ya harakati ya malaika wa tatu, iliyoonyeshwa kwa mfano na kukatishwa tamaa ya kwanza ya harakati ya malaika wa kwanza, kulitokea. Katika harakati ile ya mwanzo, mchakato wa kujaribiwa wa Waprotestanti uliishia kwenye alama ya njia ya kukatishwa tamaa ya kwanza, kisha ukaanza mchakato wa kujaribiwa kwa harakati ya kwanza. Tarehe 18 Julai 2020, mchakato wa hukumu ulipiga hatua nyingine mbele, kwa kuwa ujumbe uliopaswa kufika mwishoni mwa kipindi cha jangwani cha siku tatu na nusu usingekuwa tu utimilifu kamili na wa mwisho wa ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane, bali pia ungeashiria kinabii kuwasili kwa kutiwa muhuri kwa wale mia na arobaini na nne elfu.

> And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side; And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 9:3, 4.

> Na utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ukapaa kutoka juu ya yule kerubi, mahali ulipokuwapo, ukaenda hadi kwenye kizingiti cha nyumba. Naye akamwita yule mtu aliyevikwa kitani, aliyekuwa na kikopo cha wino cha mwandishi ubavuni mwake; naye Bwana akamwambia, Pitia katikati ya mji, katikati ya Yerusalemu, ukaweke alama kwenye vipaji vya nyuso za watu wanaougua na kulia kwa ajili ya machukizo yote yanayotendwa katikati yake. Ezekieli 9:3, 4.

The process of sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand began at their birth, which was also their resurrection. The message of the four winds brings the dead dry bones to life, and the message of the four winds is the message of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Paul and John both saw and heard the very history we are now living in, the history “that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see.” The history of the mighty movement of the third angel, that was typified by the mighty movement of the first angel.

Mchakato wa kutiwa muhuri kwa mia arobaini na nne elfu ulianza walipozaliwa, na kuzaliwa huko ndiko kufufuliwa kwao pia. Ujumbe wa pepo nne huihuisha mifupa mikavu ya wafu, na ujumbe wa pepo nne ndio ujumbe wa kutiwa muhuri kwa mia arobaini na nne elfu. Paulo na Yohana wote wawili waliona na kusikia historia yenyewe tunayoishi sasa, historia “ambayo manabii wengi na watu wenye haki walitamani kuiona.” Historia ya harakati kuu ya malaika wa tatu, ambayo ilionyeshwa kwa mfano na harakati kuu ya malaika wa kwanza.

> “All the messages given from 1840–1844 are to be made forcible now, for there are many people who have lost their bearings. The messages are to go to all the churches.

> Jumbe zote zilizotolewa kuanzia mwaka 1840 hadi 1844 zitiwe msisitizo sasa, kwa kuwa kuna watu wengi ambao wamepoteza mwelekeo. Jumbe hizo zifikishwe katika makanisa yote.

> “Christ said, ‘Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them’ [Matthew 13:16, 17]. Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844.

> "Kristo alisema, 'Heri macho yenu, kwa kuwa yanaona; na masikio yenu, kwa kuwa yanasikia. Kwa maana, amin, nawaambia, ya kwamba manabii wengi na watu wenye haki walitamani kuyaona mambo mnayoyaona, wala hawakuyaona; na kuyasikia mambo mnayosikia, wala hawakuyasikia' [Mathayo 13:16, 17]. Heri macho yaliyoona mambo yaliyoonekana katika miaka ya 1843 na 1844."

> “The message was given. And there should be no delay in repeating the message, for the signs of the times are fulfilling; the closing work must be done. A great work will be done in a short time. A message will soon be given by God’s appointment that will swell into a loud cry. Then Daniel will stand in his lot, to give his testimony.” Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 437.

> "Ujumbe ulitolewa. Wala hapapaswi kuchelewa kurudia ujumbe huo, kwa kuwa ishara za nyakati zinatimia; kazi ya kufunga lazima ikamilishwe. Kazi kubwa itafanywa kwa muda mfupi. Ujumbe hivi karibuni utatolewa kwa mpango wa Mungu ambao utaongezeka na kuwa kilio kikuu. Kisha Danieli atasimama katika fungu lake, kutoa ushuhuda wake." Manuscript Releases, juzuu ya 21, 437.

The predominant theme of Lucifer’s initial warfare in heaven was communication. He was the light bearer who used his position to insinuate error into the minds of holy angels. We are told that the angels that imbibed in his rebellious ideas, did not even recognize that it was Lucifer that had seduced them into thinking the things they eventually thought about God. He was so subtle, as he was with Eve in the garden, that the angels who were once holy, came to believe the thoughts Satan had implanted in their minds, were their own original thoughts. Those seeds, eventually brought the fruit of eternal destruction.

Mada kuu ya vita vya awali vya Lusifa mbinguni ilikuwa mawasiliano. Alikuwa mbeba nuru aliyelitumia nafasi yake kuingiza kwa ujanja upotovu katika akili za malaika watakatifu. Tunaambiwa kwamba malaika waliokubali mawazo yake ya uasi hata hawakutambua kwamba Lusifa ndiye aliyewashawishi kufikiri mambo yale waliyokuja kuyafikiri kumhusu Mungu. Alikuwa mwenye hila mno, kama alivyokuwa na Hawa katika bustani, kiasi kwamba malaika ambao hapo awali walikuwa watakatifu walikuja kuamini kwamba mawazo ambayo Shetani alipandikiza katika akili zao yalikuwa mawazo yao wenyewe. Mbegu hizo hatimaye zikaleta tunda la uharibifu wa milele.

The last war, that takes place in the first heaven, is about to get under way, and it is not about the seduction of holy angels, nor is it about Satan’s seduction of Eve, but rather it is about his seduction of all mankind through a corrupted communication process that is represented as being in the heavens. It’s about the World-Wide Web that Satan uses to inculcate ideas into men, without those men knowing that they have believed a lie, and in so doing have demonstrated that they love not the truth. It was the apostle Paul that set forth that in the “last days” men would receive a lie, because they did not have a love of the “truth.” After all, he had seen the very history where this marvelous work of Satan is accomplished.

Vita vya mwisho, vinavyofanyika katika mbingu ya kwanza, viko karibu kuanza, na si kuhusu kuwadanganya kwa malaika watakatifu, wala si kuhusu Shetani kumdanganya Hawa, bali ni kuhusu kuwadanganya kwake wanadamu wote kupitia mchakato wa mawasiliano ulioharibika unaowakilishwa kana kwamba uko mbinguni. Ni kuhusu Mtandao wa Wavuti Ulimwenguni ambao Shetani hutumia kupandikiza mawazo ndani ya watu, bila watu hao kujua kwamba wameamini uongo, na kwa kufanya hivyo wameonyesha kwamba hawana upendo kwa ukweli. Ndiye mtume Paulo aliyebainisha kwamba katika "siku za mwisho" watu wangeupokea uongo, kwa sababu hawakuwa na upendo wa "ukweli." Baada ya yote, alikuwa ameona historia yenyewe ambamo kazi hii ya ajabu ya Shetani inatimizwa.

The seduction of mankind is accomplished by the globalists of the United Nations, who are the dragon power. The globalists of the United Nations in prophecy consist of kings and merchants. The kings are the governments, and the techno-giants and multinational billionaires are the merchants.

Kuwarubuni wanadamu hufanywa na wafuasi wa utandawazi wa Umoja wa Mataifa, ambao ndio nguvu ya joka. Wafuasi wa utandawazi wa Umoja wa Mataifa katika unabii wanaundwa na wafalme na wafanyabiashara. Wafalme ni serikali, na makampuni makubwa ya teknolojia na mabilionea wa kimataifa ndio wafanyabiashara.

The warfare begins at the Sunday law, at which point, the United States becomes the premier king of the ten kings. The United States then has just spoken as a dragon, thus marking the end of the sixth kingdom of the earth beast. It then goes forth to deceive the whole world through the miracles that he is to do in sight of the beast, miracles that are represented as bringing fire down from heaven.

Vita vinaanza wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili; wakati huo, Marekani inakuwa mfalme mkuu kati ya wale wafalme kumi. Kisha Marekani imenena kama joka, hivyo ikiashiria mwisho wa ufalme wa sita wa mnyama wa nchi. Kisha hutoka kudanganya ulimwengu wote kwa njia ya miujiza atakayofanya mbele ya yule mnyama, miujiza inayowakilishwa kuwa ya kushusha moto kutoka mbinguni.

> And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13.

> Naye anatenda maajabu makubwa, hata anashusha moto kutoka mbinguni juu ya nchi mbele ya watu. Ufunuo 13:13.

When the resurrected dead dry bones, that had been murdered in the street, are lifted up to heaven as an ensign, there is simultaneously another wonder in heaven.

Wakati mifupa mikavu ya wafu waliouawa barabarani iliyofufuliwa inapoinuliwa mbinguni kama ishara, kuna ajabu nyingine mbinguni wakati huohuo.

> And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. Revelation 12:3.

> Na ikaonekana ishara nyingine mbinguni; na tazama, joka kubwa jekundu, lenye vichwa saba na pembe kumi, na taji saba juu ya vichwa vyake. Ufunuo 12:3.

The great red dragon is Satan, but it is also pagan Rome.

Joka kubwa jekundu ni Shetani, lakini pia ni Roma ya kipagani.

> “Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 439.

> Hivyo, ingawa joka kimsingi linamwakilisha Shetani, katika maana ya pili ni ishara ya Roma ya kipagani. Pambano Kuu, 439.

The dragon is Satan, and in a secondary application the dragon represents pagan Rome. In the history of Christ’s birth, the dragon of pagan Rome is represented; but the perfect prophetic application of the dragon is in “the last days.” In “the last days” the dragon is represented by the ten kings of the United Nations. They appear not in the history of Christ’s birth, but in the history of the birth of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, whose birth was typified by Christ’s birth.

Joka ni Shetani, na katika utumiaji wa pili joka linawakilisha Roma ya kipagani. Katika historia ya kuzaliwa kwa Kristo, joka la Roma ya kipagani limewakilishwa; lakini utumiaji kamili wa kinabii wa joka upo katika “siku za mwisho.” Katika “siku za mwisho” joka linawakilishwa na wafalme kumi wa Umoja wa Mataifa. Hao hawaonekani katika historia ya kuzaliwa kwa Kristo, bali katika historia ya kuzaliwa kwa wale mia arobaini na nne elfu, ambao kuzaliwa kwao kulionyeshwa kwa mfano na kuzaliwa kwa Kristo.

> “Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon themselves the brand of antichrist, and are represented as the dragon who goes to make war with the saints—with those who keep the commandments of God and who have the faith of Jesus.” Testimonies to Ministers, 38.

> "Wafalme na watawala na magavana wamejiwekea alama ya Mpinga Kristo, na wanawakilishwa kama joka aendaye kufanya vita na watakatifu—wale wanaozishika amri za Mungu na wenye imani ya Yesu." Ushuhuda kwa Wahudumu, 38.

The dragon’s ten horns are the symbol of its confederacy, its seven heads with crowns upon them, identify it as the seventh head of the eight kingdoms of Bible prophecy as represented in both Nebuchadnezzar’s image in Daniel chapter two, and also in the eight heads of Revelation chapter seventeen. The United Nations is “another wonder in heaven,” at the very time when the ensign, which has been born in the street that runs through the valley of dead dry bones is lifted up to heaven. The dragon and the woman appear as wonders in heaven at the Sunday law, which is also the very point that the sea beast of Catholicism is also “wondered after.”

Pembe kumi za joka ni alama ya muungano wake; vichwa vyake saba vyenye taji juu yao vinalionyesha kuwa ndilo kichwa cha saba kati ya falme nane za unabii wa Biblia, kama inavyowakilishwa katika sanamu ya Nebukadneza katika Danieli sura ya pili, na pia katika vichwa vinane vya Ufunuo sura ya kumi na saba. Umoja wa Mataifa ni "ajabu nyingine mbinguni," wakati uleule ambapo bendera, ambayo imebebwa katika barabara inayopita katikati ya bonde la mifupa mikavu iliyokufa, inainuliwa mbinguni. Joka na yule mwanamke huonekana kama maajabu mbinguni wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili, ambayo pia ndiyo wakati ambapo mnyama wa baharini wa Ukatoliki pia "anastaajabiwa na kufuatwa."

> And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:3.

> Nikaona kichwa chake kimoja kana kwamba kimejeruhiwa hata kufa; na jeraha lake la mauti likapona; na ulimwengu wote ukamstaajabia yule mnyama. Ufunuo 13:3.

The world is wondering after the papal sea beast, ‘after’ its deadly wound is healed, and it is healed at the Sunday law in the United States. The ensign, the dragon and the beast are all being wondered after, beginning at the Sunday law in the United States. The false prophet manifests the most significant of the satanic wonders at that very same time, for it is immediately after the Sunday law, where the false prophet has just begun to speak as a “dragon,” that he goes forth to deceive the entire world, and he accomplishes his deception from heaven.

Ulimwengu unastaajabia na kumfuata mnyama wa baharini wa kipapa, ‘baada’ ya jeraha lake la mauti kuponywa, nalo huponywa wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani. Bendera, joka na mnyama vyote vinastaajabiwa na kufuatwa, kuanzia sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani. Nabii wa uongo anaonyesha maajabu makuu zaidi ya kishetani wakati huo huo, kwa maana ni mara tu baada ya sheria ya Jumapili, ambapo nabii wa uongo ndipo anapoanza kusema kama ‘joka’, ndipo anatoka kwenda kuudanganya ulimwengu wote, naye hutimiza udanganyifu wake kutoka mbinguni.

> And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. Revelation 13:11–13.

> Nikaona mnyama mwingine akipanda kutoka katika nchi; naye alikuwa na pembe mbili kama mwana-kondoo, naye akanena kama joka. Naye hutumia mamlaka yote ya yule mnyama wa kwanza mbele yake, naye hufanya nchi na wakaao ndani yake wamwabudu yule mnyama wa kwanza, ambaye jeraha lake la mauti liliponywa. Naye hutenda ishara kubwa, hata hushusha moto kutoka mbinguni juu ya nchi mbele ya watu. Ufunuo 13:11-13.

The war that began in the third heaven, ends in the first heaven. The three-fold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet are identified by the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy as the evil confederacy. At the Sunday law, the three-fold union begins leading the entire world in warfare against the woman, as it marches to Armageddon. At the Sunday law, they take their positions in the battlefield of the first heaven, and then they lose! As Rome rises to power three times in the history of the world, it always conquers first its enemy, then its ally, then its victim, and then falls.

Vita vilivyoanza katika mbingu ya tatu vinaishia katika mbingu ya kwanza. Muungano wa mara tatu wa joka, mnyama na nabii wa uongo umetambuliwa na Biblia na Roho ya Unabii kama muungano mwovu. Wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili, muungano huo wa mara tatu huanza kuongoza ulimwengu wote katika vita dhidi ya yule mwanamke, ukisonga kuelekea Armagedoni. Wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili, wanachukua nafasi zao katika uwanja wa vita wa mbingu ya kwanza, kisha wanashindwa! Kadiri Roma inavyoinuka madarakani mara tatu katika historia ya dunia, daima hushinda kwanza adui yake, kisha mshirika wake, kisha mhanga wake, na kisha huanguka.

> And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Revelation 16:13–16.

> Na nikaona roho tatu najisi kama vyura zikitoka katika kinywa cha yule joka, na kutoka katika kinywa cha yule mnyama, na kutoka katika kinywa cha yule nabii wa uongo. Kwa maana hizo ni roho za mashetani, zitendazo miujiza, zinazokwenda kwa wafalme wa dunia yote, ili kuwakusanya kwa vita vya siku ile kuu ya Mungu Mwenyezi. Tazama, naja kama mwivi. Heri akeshaye na azitunzaye nguo zake, asije akatembea uchi, nao wakaiona aibu yake. Akawakusanya pamoja katika mahali paitwapo kwa Kiebrania Armagedoni. Ufunuo 16:13-16.

The “war in heaven” in “the last days” is not metaphorical, it is a war of communication that is carried out in the heavens. Out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast and the mouth of the false prophet comes the “spirits of devils” that work “miracles.” The word “spirit” means breath, and the breath is a symbol of a message. The breath of Ezekiel thirty-seven brings the dead bones to life, and it does so by delivering the message of Islam, which in the Bible is represented as the east wind. “Spirit,” “wind” and “breath” are the same word translated into those three English words both in the Hebrew and in the Greek.

"vita mbinguni" katika "siku za mwisho" si ya sitiari, ni vita ya mawasiliano inayofanyika mbinguni. Kutoka kinywani mwa joka, kinywani mwa mnyama na kinywani mwa nabii wa uongo hutoka "roho za mashetani" zinazofanya "miujiza." Neno "roho" linamaanisha pumzi, na pumzi ni ishara ya ujumbe. Pumzi ya Ezekieli sura ya thelathini na saba huleta mifupa iliyokufa uhai, na hufanya hivyo kwa kuwasilisha ujumbe wa Uislamu, ambao katika Biblia unawakilishwa kama upepo wa mashariki. "Roho," "upepo" na "pumzi" ni neno lilelile ambalo hutafsiriwa kuwa maneno hayo matatu ya Kiingereza, katika Kiebrania na katika Kigiriki.

> “God can breathe new life into every soul that sincerely desires to serve Him, and can touch the lips with a live coal from off the altar, and cause them to become eloquent with His praise. Thousands of voices will be imbued with the power to speak forth the wonderful truths of God’s Word. The stammering tongue will be unloosed, and the timid will be made strong to bear courageous testimony to the truth. May the Lord help His people to cleanse the soul temple from every defilement, and to maintain such a close connection with Him that they may be partakers of the latter rain when it shall be poured out.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1886.

> Mungu anaweza kupuliza uhai mpya ndani ya kila nafsi inayotamani kwa dhati kumtumikia, na anaweza kugusa midomo kwa makaa ya moto kutoka madhabahuni, na kuzifanya ziwe na ufasaha wa sifa Zake. Maelfu ya sauti yatatiwa nguvu ya kunena kweli za ajabu za Neno la Mungu. Ulimi wa kigugumizi utafunguliwa, na waoga watafanywa kuwa imara kutoa ushuhuda wa ujasiri kwa ajili ya kweli. Na Bwana awasaidie watu Wake kusafisha hekalu la nafsi kutokana na kila unajisi, na kudumisha uhusiano wa karibu sana Naye ili wapate kuwa washiriki wa mvua ya masika itakapomiminwa. Review and Herald, Julai 20, 1886.

The “spirits” that come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet represent satanic messages. In the first battle in the third heaven–it was corrupted communications as represented by the corrupted light bearer. In the last battle in the first heaven–it is once again, corrupted communications. The corrupted communications that Satan used in the warfare of the third heaven, that is to be used again in the warfare of the first heaven, was mesmerism, which in modern times is called hypnosis.

“Roho” zinazotoka katika kinywa cha joka, kutoka katika kinywa cha mnyama na kutoka katika kinywa cha nabii wa uongo zinawakilisha ujumbe wa kishetani. Katika vita ya kwanza katika mbingu ya tatu—kulikuwa na mawasiliano yaliyopotoshwa, kama ilivyowakilishwa na mchukua nuru aliyepotoshwa. Katika vita ya mwisho katika mbingu ya kwanza—kwa mara nyingine tena, ni mawasiliano yaliyopotoshwa. Mawasiliano yaliyopotoshwa ambayo Shetani alitumia katika vita vya mbingu ya tatu, ambayo yatatumika tena katika vita vya mbingu ya kwanza, yalikuwa ni mesmerism, ambayo katika nyakati za kisasa huitwa hipnozi.

> “Men and women are not to study the science of how to take captive the minds of those who associate with them. This is the science that Satan teaches. We are to resist everything of the kind. We are not to tamper with mesmerism and hypnotism—the science of the one who lost his first estate and was cast out of the heavenly courts.” Manuscript 86, 1905.

> "Wanaume na wanawake hawapaswi kujifunza sayansi ya jinsi ya kuteka akili za wale wanaoshirikiana nao. Hii ndiyo sayansi ambayo Shetani hufundisha. Tunapaswa kupinga kila kitu cha aina hiyo. Hatupaswi kujishughulisha na mesmerism na hypnotism—sayansi ya yule aliyepoteza nafasi yake ya kwanza na kutupwa nje ya mabaraza ya mbinguni." Hati 86, 1905.

Hypnotism is accomplished in the world today by the techno-giants through the worldwide web, which employs what is labeled as the science of modern advertising, but is actually the ultimate sophistication of the old satanic science of hypnotism. The globalists, techno-giants and billionaires intend to capture their prey in a “web” of deceit that is already established worldwide. Satan’s PsyOps on the whole world if you will. It is satanic messages that lead the world to Armageddon, and those satanic messages are proclaimed in the heavens at the very same time the three angels are proclaiming Christ’s message in the heavens.

Uhipnozi unatekelezwa duniani leo na vigogo wa teknolojia kupitia wavuti ya ulimwengu mzima, ambayo hutumia kile kinachoitwa sayansi ya matangazo ya kisasa; lakini kwa kweli, kile hicho ni ustadi wa hali ya juu kabisa wa ile sayansi ya kale ya kishetani ya uhipnozi. Wafuasi wa utandawazi, vigogo wa teknolojia na mabilionea wananuia kunasa mawindo yao katika “wavuti” ya udanganyifu iliyokwisha kuenea duniani kote. Operesheni za kisaikolojia za Shetani juu ya ulimwengu mzima, kama utapenda. Ni ujumbe wa kishetani unaoongoza dunia kuelekea Amagedoni, na ujumbe huo wa kishetani unatangazwa mbinguni wakati huohuo malaika watatu wanapotangaza ujumbe wa Kristo mbinguni.

> And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Revelation 14:6–11.

> Nikaona malaika mwingine akiruka katikati ya mbingu, akiwa na Injili ya milele ili awahubirie wakaao duniani, na kila taifa, na kabila, na lugha, na watu, akisema kwa sauti kuu, Mcheni Mungu, na mpeni utukufu; kwa kuwa saa ya hukumu yake imekuja; mwabuduni yeye aliyeumba mbingu na nchi na bahari na chemchemi za maji. Kisha malaika mwingine akafuata, akisema, Babeli ameanguka, ameanguka, mji ule mkuu, kwa sababu ameyalewesha mataifa yote kwa divai ya ghadhabu ya uasherati wake. Na malaika wa tatu akawafuata, akisema kwa sauti kuu, Mtu ye yote akimwabudu yule mnyama na sanamu yake, na kupokea alama yake katika kipaji cha uso wake au katika mkono wake, huyo atakunywa divai ya ghadhabu ya Mungu, iliyomiminwa bila kuchanganywa ndani ya kikombe cha hasira yake; naye atateswa kwa moto na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu na mbele ya Mwanakondoo. Na moshi wa mateso yao hupanda juu milele na milele; wala hawana pumziko mchana wala usiku, hao wamwabuduo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kila apokeaye alama ya jina lake. Ufunuo 14:6-11.

The “spirits” that come from each member of the three-fold union, comes out of their mouths. The speaking of a nation is the action of its government.

"Roho" zinazotoka kwa kila mwanachama wa muungano wa sehemu tatu hutoka kinywani mwao. Usemi wa taifa ni kitendo cha serikali yake.

> “The speaking of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities.” The Great Controversy, 443.

> "Kauli ya taifa ni vitendo vya mamlaka zake za kutunga sheria na za mahakama." Mzozo Mkuu, 443.

Jeremiah was promised that if he would separate the wheat from the chaff, and not return to the chaff (though the chaff could return to him), that God would make him His “mouth.”

Yeremia aliahidiwa kwamba ikiwa angetenganisha ngano kutoka kwa makapi, na asingerudi kwenye makapi (ijapokuwa makapi yangeweza kumrudia), Mungu angemfanya awe "kinywa" Chake.

> I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. Jeremiah 15:17–19.

> Sikuketi katika kusanyiko la wenye dhihaka, wala sikufurahi; niliketi peke yangu kwa sababu ya mkono wako; kwa maana umenijaza ghadhabu. Kwa nini uchungu wangu ni wa daima, na jeraha langu halitibiki, linalokataa kupona? Je, utakuwa kwangu kabisa kama mwongo, na kama maji yanayokauka? Kwa hiyo Bwana asema hivi, Ukirudi, ndipo nitakurudisha tena, nawe utasimama mbele yangu; na ukitoa kilicho cha thamani kutoka kwa kilicho duni, utakuwa kama kinywa changu; wao na warudi kwako; lakini wewe usirudi kwao. Yeremia 15:17-19.

Jeremiah is representing the Millerites in their first disappointment, who thought God had lied. God had not lied, He simply held his hand over a mistake in the 1843 chart. Jeremiah was promised, as those who were disappointed at July 18, 2020, are promised; that if they would separate from the foolish persons and satanic teachings that were present before the disappointment, then the Lord would make Jeremiah, and those he typifies, His “mouth.” The 1843 chart had been produced in fulfillment of the command to do so in Habakkuk chapter two.

Yeremia anawakilisha Wamileraiti katika kukatishwa tamaa kwao kwa mara ya kwanza, ambao walidhani Mungu alikuwa amedanganya. Mungu hakuwa amedanganya; alifunika tu kwa mkono wake kosa lililokuwamo katika chati ya 1843. Yeremia alipewa ahadi, kama vile wale waliokatishwa tamaa tarehe 18 Julai 2020 wanavyoahidiwa; kwamba ikiwa wangejitenga na watu wapumbavu na mafundisho ya kishetani yaliyokuwepo kabla ya kukatishwa tamaa, basi Bwana angemfanya Yeremia, na wale anaowakilisha, kuwa ‘kinywa’ chake. Chati ya 1843 ilikuwa imetayarishwa kwa kutimiza amri ya kufanya hivyo iliyo katika Habakuki sura ya pili.

> “It was the united testimony of Second Advent lecturers and papers, when standing on ‘the original faith,’ that the publication of the chart was a fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:2, 3. If the chart was a subject of prophecy (and those who deny it leave the original faith), then it follows that BC 457 was the year from which to date the 2300 days. It was necessary that 1843 should be the first published time in order that ‘the vision’ should ‘tarry,’ or that there should be a tarrying time, in which the virgin band was to slumber and sleep on the great subject of time, just before they were to be aroused by the Midnight Cry.” James White, Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, Volume 1, Number 2.

> “Ilikuwa ni ushuhuda wa pamoja wa wahadhiri na machapisho ya Ujio wa Pili, walipokuwa wamesimama juu ya ‘imani ya asili,’ kwamba kuchapishwa kwa chati kulikuwa utimilifu wa Habakuki 2:2, 3. Ikiwa chati ilikuwa ni somo la unabii (na wale wanaoikana wanaiacha imani ya asili), basi inafuata kwamba KK 457 ulikuwa mwaka ambao kutoka kwake siku 2300 zilipaswa kuhesabiwa. Ilikuwa lazima kwamba 1843 uwe wakati wa kwanza uliochapishwa ili ‘ono’ ‘likawie,’ au ili kuwepo na wakati wa kukawia, ambamo kundi la mabikira lingesinzia na kulala juu ya suala kuu la wakati, kabla tu hawajaamshwa na Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane.” James White, Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, Juzuu ya 1, Namba 2.

The Lord, through Habakkuk, commanded the Millerites to produce the 1843 chart, and it contained an error that the Lord held His hand over. This is why Jeremiah states that his disappointment was because of God’s hand. When, after the disappointment, the Lord led the Millerites back to Habakkuk chapter two, they saw the promise, that even though the vision would tarry, that they should wait for it, for it would not lie, and that at the end it would “speak”.

Bwana, kupitia Habakuki, aliwaamuru Wamileraiti kuandaa chati ya 1843, na ilikuwa na kosa ambalo Bwana alilifunika kwa mkono wake. Ndiyo sababu Yeremia anasema kwamba kuvunjika tamaa kwake kulikuwa kwa sababu ya mkono wa Mungu. Bwana, baada ya kuvunjika tamaa, alipowaongoza Wamileraiti kurudi kwenye Habakuki sura ya pili, waliona ile ahadi kwamba, ijapokuwa maono yangekawia, walipaswa kuyangojea, kwa maana hayatasema uongo, na kwamba mwisho “yatanena”.

The vision “speaking” represented the content of the prophetic message, and the promise to Jeremiah was if he would shake off the disappointment, return to the zeal for the message he had before the disappointment, and if he would make the distinction between wheat and chaff, he would be God’s “mouth,” and would present the message of the Midnight Cry.

Maono ‘yanayosema’ yaliwakilisha maudhui ya ujumbe wa kinabii, na ahadi kwa Yeremia ilikuwa kwamba, akitupilia mbali hali ya kuvunjika moyo, akarejea katika ari aliyokuwa nayo kwa ujumbe huo kabla ya kukatishwa tamaa, na akitofautisha kati ya ngano na makapi, angekuwa ‘kinywa’ cha Mungu, na angewasilisha ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane.

> For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:3.

> Kwa maana maono haya bado ni kwa wakati uliowekwa; lakini mwishoni yatanena, wala hayatasema uongo; ijapokawia, ngojeeni; kwa kuwa hakika yatakuja, wala hayatakawia. Habakuki 2:3.

Those represented by Jeremiah, in both the movement of the first and third angels, who fulfill the command to return, will be the “mouth” of the Lord in the warfare against the evil confederacy, on the battlefield of the first heaven. They will present the message of the Midnight Cry. Those represented by Jeremiah are now hearing a “voice” in the wilderness. Three and a half symbolic days is a symbol of a prophetic wilderness.

Wale wanaowakilishwa na Yeremia, katika harakati zote mbili za malaika wa kwanza na wa tatu, wanaotekeleza amri ya kurudi, watakuwa "kinywa" cha Bwana katika vita dhidi ya muungano wa uovu, katika uwanja wa vita wa mbingu ya kwanza. Watawasilisha ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Wale wanaowakilishwa na Yeremia sasa wanasikia "sauti" jangwani. Siku tatu na nusu za kishara ni ishara ya jangwa la kinabii.

> The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Isaiah 40:3–5.

> Sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani, Itengenezeni njia ya Bwana, nyosheni jangwani njia kuu kwa Mungu wetu. Kila bonde litainuliwa, na kila mlima na kilima vitashushwa; na palipopotoka patanyoshwa, na palipokuwa pagumu patakuwa palaini; Na utukufu wa Bwana utafunuliwa, na wote wenye mwili watauona pamoja; kwa maana kinywa cha Bwana kimenena. Isaya 40:3-5.

We will continue our consideration of the last battle of the probationary war, that began in the third heaven and ends in the first heaven in the next article.

Tutaendelea na uchambuzi wetu kuhusu mapigano ya mwisho katika vita vya kipindi cha majaribio, yaliyoanza katika mbingu ya tatu na kuishia katika mbingu ya kwanza, katika makala inayofuata.

> Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel. But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him. And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. Judges 6:33–35.

> Ndipo Wamidiani wote na Waamaleki, na wana wa mashariki, walikusanyika pamoja; wakavuka, wakapiga kambi katika bonde la Yezreeli. Lakini Roho ya Bwana ikamjia Gideoni, naye akapiga tarumbeta; na Abiezeri akakusanyika baada yake. Akatuma wajumbe kote Manase; nao pia wakakusanyika baada yake; tena akatuma wajumbe kwa Asheri, na kwa Zebuluni, na kwa Naftali; nao wakakwea kwenda kuwalaki. Waamuzi 6:33-35.
