We are placing the line of the papacy, the line of apostate Republicanism, the line of apostate Protestantism, and the line of the one hundred and forty-four thousand into the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven. We are currently addressing that Christ gathers His people twice, and all the illustrations of gathering His people a second time represent the final sealing process of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Tunaweka mstari wa Upapa, mstari wa itikadi ya jamhuri iliyopotoka, mstari wa Uprotestanti uliopotoka, na mstari wa elfu mia moja arobaini na nne katika historia iliyofichwa ya aya ya arobaini ya sura ya kumi na moja ya Danieli. Kwa sasa tunazungumzia kwamba Kristo hukusanya watu Wake mara mbili, na mifano yote ya kuwakusanya watu Wake kwa mara ya pili inawakilisha mchakato wa mwisho wa kutiwa muhuri kwa wale elfu mia moja arobaini na nne.

When the divine symbol descends in a reform line the Lord then gathers a chosen people, who are thereafter tested. At the conclusion of the testing process there is a scattering, that is followed by His gathering those chosen people a second time, though many are left behind for failing the testing process. Christ began gathering His disciples at His baptism, and at the cross the disciples were scattered. After His resurrection He gathered His disciples a second time in advance of Pentecost. This line identified that a second gathering is accomplished upon the one hundred and forty-four thousand just before the Sunday law, which is typified by Pentecost. The cross identifies a disappointment, followed by a second gathering.

Wakati ishara ya kiungu inashuka katika mstari wa matengenezo Bwana kisha anawakusanya watu teule, ambao baadaye hujaribiwa. Mwishoni mwa mchakato wa kujaribiwa hutokea kutawanyika, kunakofuatwa na Yeye kuwakusanya tena wale watu teule kwa mara ya pili, ijapokuwa wengi huachwa kwa sababu ya kushindwa mchakato huo wa kujaribiwa. Kristo alianza kuwakusanya wanafunzi wake wakati wa ubatizo wake, na msalabani wanafunzi walitawanyika. Baada ya kufufuka kwake aliwakusanya wanafunzi wake kwa mara ya pili kabla ya Pentekoste. Mstari huu ulionyesha kwamba mkusanyiko wa pili hutimizwa kwa wale elfu mia moja na arobaini na nne kabla tu ya sheria ya Jumapili, ambayo inawakilishwa kwa mfano na Pentekoste. Msalaba unaashiria kukatishwa tamaa, kunakofuatwa na mkusanyiko wa pili.

The second gathering after the cross began when Christ descended from meeting with His Father after His resurrection. When the divine symbol descends God’s people are to eat the message, and after Christ descended, He ate with the disciples.

Mkusanyiko wa pili baada ya msalaba ulianza wakati Kristo aliposhuka baada ya kukutana na Baba yake kufuatia kufufuka kwake. Wakati ishara ya kimungu inaposhuka, watu wa Mungu wanapaswa kula ujumbe huo, na baada ya Kristo kushuka, alikula pamoja na wanafunzi.

> And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:30, 31.

> Ikawa alipokuwa ameketi chakulani pamoja nao, akatwaa mkate, akaubariki, akaumega, akawapa. Ndipo macho yao yakafunuliwa, wakamtambua; akatoweka machoni pao. Luka 24:30, 31.

At the second gathering after the cross Christ “breathed” the Holy Spirit upon His disciples.

Katika mkusanyiko wa pili baada ya msalaba, Kristo "alipuliza" Roho Mtakatifu juu ya wanafunzi Wake.

> “The act of Christ in breathing upon his disciples the Holy Ghost, and in imparting his peace to them, was as a few drops before the plentiful shower to be given on the day of Pentecost.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 243.

> "Kitendo cha Kristo cha kuwapulizia wanafunzi wake Roho Mtakatifu, na kuwapa amani yake, kilikuwa kama matone machache kabla ya kunyesha kwa mvua tele siku ya Pentekoste." Spirit of Prophecy, juzuu ya 3, 243.

In the second gathering after the disappointment of April 19, 1844, Christ removed His hand from the mistake of 1843.

Katika mkutano wa pili baada ya masikitiko ya Aprili 19, 1844, Kristo aliondoa mkono wake kutoka juu ya kosa la 1843.

> “Those faithful, disappointed ones, who could not understand why their Lord did not come, were not left in darkness. Again they were led to their Bibles to search the prophetic periods. The hand of the Lord was removed from the figures, and the mistake was explained. They saw that the prophetic periods reached to 1844, and that the same evidence which they had presented to show that the prophetic periods closed in 1843, proved that they would terminate in 1844.” Early Writings, 237.

> "Wale waaminifu waliokatishwa tamaa, ambao hawakuweza kuelewa kwa nini Bwana wao hakuja, hawakuachwa gizani. Tena waliongozwa kwa Biblia zao ili kuchunguza nyakati za kinabii. Mkono wa Bwana uliondolewa juu ya tarakimu, na kosa likafafanuliwa. Wakaona kwamba nyakati za kinabii ziliendelea hadi 1844, na kwamba ushahidi uleule waliokuwa wamewasilisha ili kuonyesha kwamba nyakati za kinabii zilifungwa mwaka 1843, ulithibitisha kwamba zingemalizika mwaka 1844." Early Writings, 237.

At the disappointment the second angel descended with a “writing in his hand.”

Wakati wa kukatishwa tamaa, malaika wa pili alishuka akiwa na "andiko mkononi mwake."

> “Another mighty angel was commissioned to descend to earth. Jesus placed in his hand a writing, and as he came to the earth, he cried, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen.’” Early Writings, 247.

> "Malaika mwingine mwenye nguvu aliagizwa kushuka duniani. Yesu akaweka mkononi mwake andiko, na aliposhuka duniani, alipaza sauti, 'Babeli imeanguka, imeanguka.'" Maandishi ya Mapema, 247.

The testing process that began with the arrival of the second angel, concluded at the Exeter camp meeting when the Holy Spirit was poured out and the message went like a tidal wave. That testing process was distinctly identified after the cross when the time period unto the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost was preceded by a period of fifty days, that was in turn made up of a period of forty days, followed by a period of ten days which concluded at Pentecost.

Mchakato wa kujaribiwa uliokuwa umeanza kwa kuwasili kwa malaika wa pili, ulimalizika katika mkutano wa kambi wa Exeter wakati Roho Mtakatifu alipomiminwa na ujumbe ukaenea kama wimbi kubwa. Mchakato huo wa kujaribiwa ulitambuliwa waziwazi baada ya kusulubiwa, kwani kabla ya kumiminwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu siku ya Pentekoste kulikuwepo kipindi cha siku hamsini, ambacho chenyewe kilijumuisha kipindi cha siku arobaini, kisha kipindi cha siku kumi kilichohitimia siku ya Pentekoste.

> “God’s people are to be constantly reaching up to him in prayer. It was after the early disciples had spent ten days in supplication, after all differences had been put away, and they had united in deep heart-searching, and in confession and putting away of sins, and in drawing together in holy fellowship, that the Holy Ghost came upon them, and the promise of Christ was fulfilled. There was a wonderful outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Suddenly there came from heaven the sound as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. ‘And the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.’” Review and Herald, March 11, 1909.

> Watu wa Mungu wanapaswa daima kumwelekea yeye katika sala. Ilikuwa baada ya wanafunzi wa kwanza kutumia siku kumi katika maombi ya kusihi, baada ya tofauti zote kuwekwa kando, na walipoungana katika uchunguzi wa kina wa mioyo yao, na katika kukiri na kuacha dhambi, na katika kukusanyika pamoja katika ushirika mtakatifu, ndipo Roho Mtakatifu akawashukia, na ahadi ya Kristo ikatimizwa. Kulikuwa na kumiminwa kwa ajabu kwa Roho Mtakatifu. Ghafla, kukasikika kutoka mbinguni sauti kama ya upepo wenye nguvu unaovuma kwa kasi, ikajaza nyumba yote waliokuwa wameketi. ‘Na siku ile ile wakaongezwa kwao watu wapata elfu tatu.’ Review and Herald, Machi 11, 1909.

During the forty days Christ was in attendance teaching the disciples, and then He ascended. The ten days that followed was a period of preparation in advance of the Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The forty days of instruction that followed the cross aligns with April 19, 1844 unto the beginning of the Exeter camp meeting on August 12, 1844. The ten days which preceded Pentecost represented August 12 through 17, 1844, when the Millerites unified upon the message of the Midnight Cry brought by Samuel Snow. In that camp meeting two classes were manifested, and only one class received the Pentecostal outpouring at the conclusion of the meeting. In that period represented by the forty days one class received the instruction, and the other class refused the instruction. When the Midnight Cry arrived one class had the oil, the other did not.

Katika siku arobaini ambazo Kristo alikuwapo akiwafundisha wanafunzi, kisha akapaa mbinguni. Siku kumi zilizofuata zilikuwa kipindi cha maandalizi kabla ya kumiminwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu wakati wa Pentekoste. Siku arobaini za mafundisho zilizofuata baada ya kusulubiwa zinakwenda sambamba na Aprili 19, 1844 hadi mwanzo wa mkutano wa kambi wa Exeter mnamo Agosti 12, 1844. Siku kumi zilizotangulia Pentekoste ziliwakilisha Agosti 12 hadi 17, 1844, wakati wafuasi wa Miller waliungana katika ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane uliioletwa na Samuel Snow. Katika mkutano huo wa kambi makundi mawili yalidhihirika, na kundi moja tu ndilo lilipokea kumiminwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu mwishoni mwa mkutano. Katika kipindi hicho kinachowakilishwa na siku arobaini, kundi moja lilipokea mafundisho, na kundi jingine likayakataa. Kilipowasili Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane, kundi moja lilikuwa na mafuta, jingine halikuwa na mafuta.

> “‘While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.’ By the tarrying of the bridegroom is represented the passing of the time when the Lord was expected, the disappointment, and the seeming delay. In this time of uncertainty, the interest of the superficial and halfhearted soon began to waver, and their efforts to relax; but those whose faith was based on a personal knowledge of the Bible had a rock beneath their feet, which the waves of disappointment could not wash away. ‘They all slumbered and slept;’ one class in unconcern and abandonment of their faith, the other class patiently waiting till clearer light should be given. Yet in the night of trial the latter seemed to lose, to some extent, their zeal and devotion. The halfhearted and superficial could no longer lean upon the faith of their brethren. Each must stand or fall for himself.” The Great Controversy, 395.

> "Wakati bwana-arusi alipokawia, wote walisinzia na kulala." Kukawia kwa bwana-arusi kulionyesha kupita kwa wakati ambao Bwana alitarajiwa, kukatishwa tamaa, na kuchelewa kunakoonekana. Katika kipindi hiki cha kutokuwa na uhakika, shauku ya wale wa juu juu na wasiokuwa na moyo kamili ilianza kuyumba upesi, na juhudi zao kulegea; lakini wale ambao imani yao ilijengwa juu ya maarifa binafsi ya Biblia walikuwa na mwamba chini ya miguu yao, ambao mawimbi ya kukatishwa tamaa yasingeweza kuusomba. "Wote walisinzia na kulala;" kundi moja kwa kutojali na kuitelekeza imani yao, kundi jingine likisubiri kwa uvumilivu hadi nuru iliyo wazi zaidi itolewe. Hata hivyo, katika usiku wa majaribu, hawa wa mwisho walionekana kupoteza, kwa kiasi fulani, shauku na kujitoa kwao. Wale wasiokuwa na moyo kamili na wa juu juu hawakuweza tena kutegemea imani ya ndugu zao. Kila mmoja lazima asimame au aanguke mwenyewe." The Great Controversy, 395.

During the ten days leading to Pentecost, and the period of the Exeter camp meeting, Christ gathered His people a second time in advance of those people carrying His message to the world. When the third angel descended on October 22, 1844, the little flock was again disappointed and scattered, but a period of instruction began on October 22, 1844 as Christ led His people into the Most Holy Place. In 1849, the Lord stretched forth His hand a second time to gather again those whom He had gathered out of the disappointments of April 19 and October 22, 1844.

Wakati wa siku kumi zilizoelekea Pentekoste, na kipindi cha mkutano wa kambi wa Exeter, Kristo aliwakusanya watu Wake mara ya pili kabla ya watu hao kubeba ujumbe Wake kwa ulimwengu. Wakati malaika wa tatu alishuka tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844, kundi dogo lilivunjika moyo tena na kutawanyika, lakini kipindi cha mafundisho kilianza tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844 wakati Kristo alipowaongoza watu Wake kuingia katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu. Mwaka 1849, Bwana akaunyosha mkono Wake mara ya pili ili kuwakusanya tena wale aliokuwa amewakusanya kutokana na kuvunjika kwa matumaini vya tarehe 19 Aprili na 22 Oktoba 1844.

In 1844, the instruction was in regards to the message which the third angel had in his hand when he descended, but in the “period of doubt and uncertainty” that followed the great disappointment, many lost their way. By 1849, the work of gathering the little scattered flock was initiated, but what was illustrated by that history was the defeat of 1863, and the first Kadesh for modern Israel. The future victory of the one hundred and forty-four thousand and their work at the second Kadesh was delayed.

Mwaka 1844, maelekezo yalihusu ule ujumbe ambao malaika wa tatu alikuwa nao mkononi mwake aliposhuka, lakini katika "kipindi cha shaka na kutokuwa na uhakika" kilichofuatia kukatishwa tamaa kubwa, wengi walipotea njia. Kufikia mwaka 1849, kazi ya kukusanya kundi dogo lililotawanyika ilianzishwa, lakini kilichoonyeshwa na historia hiyo kilikuwa ni kushindwa la mwaka 1863, na Kadeshi ya kwanza kwa Israeli ya kisasa. Ushindi wa baadaye wa elfu mia moja arobaini na nne na kazi yao katika Kadeshi ya pili ulicheleweshwa.

When the Lord descended on September 11, 2001 He gathered His last-day people, gave them His spiritual food to eat, breathed His Spirit upon those people as He began to sprinkle the latter rain, and He also initiated a testing process that led to July 18, 2020, when His last day people were disappointed and scattered. For three and a half days they were dead in the street. Both the three and a half days, and the forty-day period in the time of Christ represent a wilderness. It is also represented by the period from April 19, 1844 unto August 12, 1844, and also the period from October 22, 1844 unto 1849.

Bwana aliposhuka tarehe 11 Septemba 2001 aliwakusanya watu Wake wa siku za mwisho, akawapa chakula Chake cha kiroho, akapuliza Roho Wake juu ya watu hao alipoanza kunyunyiza mvua ya mwisho, na pia akaanzisha mchakato wa majaribu uliosababisha kufikia tarehe 18 Julai 2020, wakati watu Wake wa siku za mwisho walikatishwa tamaa na kutawanyika. Kwa siku tatu na nusu walikuwa wamekufa barabarani. Siku zile tatu na nusu, pamoja na kipindi cha siku arobaini katika wakati wa Kristo, vyote vinawakilisha jangwa. Pia linawakilishwa na kipindi cha kuanzia tarehe 19 Aprili 1844 hadi tarehe 12 Agosti 1844, na pia na kipindi cha kuanzia tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844 hadi 1849.

From July, 2023 unto the Sunday law, which is the ten days that preceded Pentecost, the camp meeting at Exeter from August 12 unto August 17, and the period from 1849 unto 1863, all align with one another. They represent the period of the second gathering of God’s last-day people. The period from the disappointment to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is divided into two distinct periods.

Kuanzia Julai 2023 hadi sheria ya Jumapili, ambayo ni zile siku kumi zilizotangulia Pentekoste, mkutano wa kambi huko Exeter kuanzia Agosti 12 hadi Agosti 17, na kipindi cha 1849 hadi 1863, vyote vinaendana wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Vinawakilisha kipindi cha ukusanyaji wa pili wa watu wa Mungu wa siku za mwisho. Kipindi kutoka kwenye kusikitishwa hadi kumiminwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu kimegawanywa katika vipindi viwili tofauti.

Within the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven the line of apostate Protestantism (the nominal church), the line of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism (nominal Adventism), the line of Catholicism, and the line of true Protestantism are all represented. Those four lines illustrate true Protestantism in controversy with a threefold union of the dragon (Judas), the beast (Catholicism) and the false prophet (apostate Protestantism).

Ndani ya historia iliyofichika ya Danieli sura ya kumi na moja, aya ya arobaini, mkondo wa Uprotestanti murtadi (kanisa la jina tu), mkondo wa Uadventista wa Wasabato wa Laodikia (Uadventista wa jina tu), mkondo wa Ukatoliki, na mkondo wa Uprotestanti wa kweli — yote yanawakilishwa. Mikondo hiyo minne inaonyesha Uprotestanti wa kweli ukiwa katika mgogoro na muungano wa mara tatu wa joka (Yuda), mnyama (Ukatoliki) na nabii wa uongo (Uprotestanti murtadi).

Within the very same hidden history the line of apostate Republicanism is also illustrated. Within that line a controversy between the Democrat (the dragon) and Republican parties (the image of the beast) is represented. The Republican party is to lead out in forming the image to the beast, and in so doing it manifests the prophetic characteristics of the beast (the papacy). In God’s word the papacy, who is the king of the north and also the beast, is given Egypt, (the dragon) as payment for services rendered for being used by God’s as a tool of judgment.

Ndani ya hiyo hiyo historia iliyofichika, mstari wa Urepublicani uliopotoka pia unaonyeshwa. Ndani ya mstari huo, mgogoro kati ya vyama vya Democrat (joka) na Republican (sanamu ya mnyama) unawakilishwa. Chama cha Republican kitaongoza katika kuunda sanamu kwa yule mnyama, na kwa kufanya hivyo kinaonyesha sifa za kinabii za yule mnyama (upapa). Katika Neno la Mungu, upapa, ambaye ni mfalme wa kaskazini na pia ni yule mnyama, anapewa Misri, (joka), kama malipo kwa huduma alizotoa kwa kutumiwa na Mungu kama chombo cha hukumu.

> Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it: Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God. In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 29:18–21.

> Mwana wa adamu, Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli aliifanya jeshi lake litumike kazi kubwa dhidi ya Tiro; kila kichwa kilinyolewa upara, na kila bega likachubuka; lakini yeye, wala jeshi lake, hawakupata ujira kwa ajili ya Tiro, kwa ile kazi waliyoifanya dhidi yake. Kwa hiyo, Bwana MUNGU asema hivi: Tazama, nitampa Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli nchi ya Misri; naye atatwaa wingi wa watu wake, na kuchukua nyara zake, na mateka yake; na hayo yatakuwa ujira kwa jeshi lake. Nimempa nchi ya Misri kwa ajili ya juhudi zake alizotumia dhidi yake, kwa sababu walinifanyia kazi, asema Bwana MUNGU. Katika siku hiyo nitasababisha pembe ya nyumba ya Israeli ichipuke, nami nitakufumbulia kinywa chako katikati yao; nao watajua ya kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana. Ezekieli 29:18-21.

Nebuchadnezzar, who is the king of the north in the passage, is given the land of Egypt as his wages, thus typifying that in the last days, the papacy is given Egypt, which is the dragon, which is the ten kings, the United Nations, who agree to give their seventh kingdom unto the beast for a short space.

Nebukadneza, ambaye ndiye mfalme wa kaskazini katika kifungu hicho, anapewa nchi ya Misri kuwa ujira wake, hivyo kuashiria kwamba katika siku za mwisho upapa unapewa Misri, ambayo ni joka, ambalo ni wale wafalme kumi, yaani Umoja wa Mataifa, ambao wanakubali kumpa yule mnyama ufalme wao wa saba kwa muda mfupi.

> And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. Revelation 17:16, 17.

> Na zile pembe kumi ulizoziona juu ya yule mnyama, hizo zitamchukia yule kahaba, na zitamfanya awe ukiwa na uchi, na zitakula mwili wake, na kumteketeza kwa moto. Kwa maana Mungu ametia mioyoni mwao kutimiza mapenzi yake, na kuwa na nia moja, na kumpa yule mnyama ufalme wao, hata maneno ya Mungu yatimie. Ufunuo 17:16, 17.

This prophetic payment is represented also in Daniel chapter eleven verse forty-two.

Malipo haya ya kinabii pia yanawakilishwa katika Danieli sura ya kumi na moja mstari wa arobaini na mbili.

> He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. Daniel 11:42.

> Naye pia atanyoosha mkono wake juu ya nchi; na nchi ya Misri haitasalimika. Danieli 11:42.

The papacy prevails over the dragon power in the time of the latter rain, for this payment is accomplished “in” the “day” when God “causes the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth.” It is the rain that causes the Israel of God to bud forth, and that day began on September 11, 2001, which was the day of the east wind.

Upapa hushinda nguvu ya joka wakati wa mvua ya mwisho, kwa maana malipo haya hutimizwa "katika" "siku" ambayo Mungu "anasababisha pembe ya nyumba ya Israeli ichipuke." Ni mvua inayosababisha Israeli wa Mungu ichipuke, na siku hiyo ilianza tarehe 11 Septemba 2001, ambayo ilikuwa siku ya upepo wa mashariki.

> He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Isaiah 27:6–9.

> Atawafanya wale watokao kwa Yakobo watie mizizi; Israeli atachanua na kuchipua, na kuijaza uso wa dunia kwa matunda. Je, amempiga kama alivyowapiga wale waliompiga? Au ameuawa kwa kadiri ya mauaji ya wale aliowaua? Kwa kipimo, inapoibuka, utabishana nayo; anazuia upepo wake mkali katika siku ya upepo wa mashariki. Kwa hiyo kwa njia hii uovu wa Yakobo utatakaswa; na hili ndilo tunda lote la kuondoa dhambi yake; atakapofanya mawe yote ya madhabahu yawe kama mawe ya chokaa yaliyopondwapondwa, maashera na sanamu hazitasimama. Isaya 27:6-9.

Egypt is given to the papal beast when the latter rain is being poured out. The latter rain began to sprinkle when the east wind, representing Islam of the Third Woe was “stayed,” or restrained on September 11, 2001. Then the rain began to be measured, (sprinkled) upon Israel as they began to bud. At the Sunday law, when the Third Woe comes again, the latter rain is poured out without measure. Between September 11, 2001 and the soon coming Sunday law “the iniquity of Jacob” is purged, and the Hebrew word “purged” means “atoned for”. At the Sunday law the papal beast is given Egypt (the dragon), as those ten kings commit fornication with the papacy by forming a worldwide image of the beast.

Misri inakabidhiwa kwa mnyama wa upapa wakati mvua ya masika inamiminwa. Mvua hiyo ya masika ilianza kunyunyiza wakati upepo wa mashariki, unaowakilisha Uislamu wa Ole la Tatu, “ulisimamishwa,” au ukazuiliwa, tarehe 11 Septemba 2001. Kisha mvua ikaanza kumiminiwa kwa kipimo (kunyunyizwa) juu ya Waisraeli walipoanza kuchipuka. Katika sheria ya Jumapili, Ole la Tatu litakaporudi tena, mvua ya masika inamiminwa bila kipimo. Kati ya tarehe 11 Septemba 2001 na sheria ya Jumapili ijayo hivi karibuni “uovu wa Yakobo” hutakaswa, na neno la Kiebrania “kutakaswa” linamaanisha “kupatanishiwa.” Katika sheria ya Jumapili mnyama wa upapa anapewa Misri (yule joka), kwa kuwa wale wafalme kumi wanazini na upapa kwa kuunda mfano wa mnyama wa ulimwengu mzima.

Before the Sunday law, during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, the apostate Republican horn forms an image to the beast with the apostate Protestant horn, and in that prophetic line the Republican party prevails over the Democratic party, for the Democratic party is a dragon power and the Republican party is the power who forms the image of the papacy.

Kabla ya sheria ya Jumapili, wakati wa kutiwa muhuri kwa wale laki moja na arobaini na nne elfu, pembe ya Republican iliyokengeuka huunda sanamu ya mnyama pamoja na pembe ya Kiprotestanti iliyokengeuka, na katika mstari huo wa kinabii chama cha Republican kinashinda chama cha Democratic, kwa kuwa chama cha Democratic ni nguvu ya joka na chama cha Republican ndicho nguvu inayounda sanamu ya Upapa.

Within the prophetic history of the earth beast the end of the Democratic party and the end of the Republican party is identified. Those two parties form the horn of Republicanism, but they identify an internal struggle that runs through the entire history of the earth beast. That horn (Republican) contains an internal microcosm of the two horns of the earth beast.

Ndani ya historia ya kinabii ya mnyama wa nchi, miisho ya Chama cha Democratic na ya Chama cha Republican imetambuliwa. Vyama hivyo viwili vinaunda pembe ya Ujamhuri, lakini vinaonyesha mapambano ya ndani yanayopitia historia yote ya mnyama wa nchi. Pembe hiyo (ya Kijamhuri) ina mfano mdogo wa ndani wa zile pembe mbili za mnyama wa nchi.

In the testimony of the kingdom of the Medes and Persians it was the last horn that came up higher, and the Democratic party began first in American history, but at the end the Republican party comes up higher and prevails over the Democrats. In the history of the latter rain, which began on September 11, 2001, the globalist, dragon-inspired Democrats rose up out of the bottomless pit of Revelation chapter eleven and slew the Republicans by stealing the 2020 election. Their war against Trump (and the Republicans) began when he announced his candidacy in 2015, and it only intensified from that point onward.

Katika ushuhuda wa ufalme wa Wamedi na Waajemi, ilikuwa pembe ya mwisho ndiyo iliyoinuka juu zaidi, na Chama cha Democratic ndicho kilichotangulia katika historia ya Marekani, lakini mwishowe Chama cha Republican kinainuka juu zaidi na kuwashinda Wanademokrasia. Katika historia ya mvua ya mwisho, iliyoanza tarehe 11 Septemba 2001, Wanademokrasia wenye mwelekeo wa utandawazi, waliochochewa na joka, waliinuka kutoka kwenye shimo lisilo na mwisho la Ufunuo sura ya kumi na moja na kuwaua Warepublican kwa kuiba uchaguzi wa mwaka 2020. Vita vyao dhidi ya Trump (na Warepublican) vilianza alipotangaza ugombea wake mwaka 2015, na tangu hapo vikazidi tu kuwa vikali zaidi.

When the Democrats stole the election in 2020, they then instituted the Pelosi Trials, but when Trump announced his third campaign in 2022, fear came upon the Democrats, and their rage only increased, and they then came against Trump and his supporters with great wrath, for they knew their time was short. They celebrated his death, but when he stood up, great fear fell upon them.

Wakati Wademocrat walipoiba uchaguzi mwaka 2020, kisha wakaanzisha Kesi za Pelosi, lakini Trump alipotangaza kampeni yake ya tatu mwaka 2022, hofu ikawapata Wademocrat, na hasira zao zikazidi tu, kisha wakaja dhidi ya Trump na wafuasi wake kwa ghadhabu kuu, maana walijua muda wao ulikuwa mfupi. Walisherehekea kifo chake, lakini alipoinuka, hofu kuu iliwaangukia.

> And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Revelation 11:7–11.

> Nao watakapokuwa wamemaliza ushuhuda wao, yule mnyama atokaye katika shimo lisilo na mwisho atawapiga vita, atawashinda, na kuwaua. Nayo miili yao iliyokufa italala katika mtaa wa mji ule mkuu, ambao kiroho unaitwa Sodoma na Misri, mahali ambapo Bwana wetu naye alisulubiwa. Na watu wa makabila, jamaa, lugha, na mataifa wataiona miili yao iliyokufa siku tatu na nusu, wala hawataruhusu miili yao kuwekwa makaburini. Nao wakaao juu ya nchi watafurahi kwa ajili yao, na kushangilia, na kutumiana zawadi wao kwa wao; kwa maana manabii hao wawili waliwatesa wale wakaao juu ya nchi. Na baada ya siku tatu na nusu, Roho ya uhai itokayo kwa Mungu iliingia ndani yao, nao wakasimama juu ya miguu yao; na hofu kuu ikawaangukia wale waliowaona. Ufunuo 11:7-11.

The period that identifies the end of the Democratic party is from the inauguration of Biden in 2021 unto the inauguration of Trump in 2025. The period began with the Pelosi Trials, which were purely unconstitutional and totally political in nature. That history, representing the death of the sixth president since the time of the end in 1989 unto the eighth president that is of the seven began with political trials (the Pelosi Trials), and it ends with the death of the Democratic party, and a second set of Pelosi Trials, as the political targets are reversed.

Kipindi kinachoashiria mwisho wa Chama cha Democratic ni kuanzia kuapishwa kwa Biden mwaka 2021 hadi kuapishwa kwa Trump mwaka 2025. Kipindi hicho kilianza na Kesi za Pelosi, ambazo zilikuwa kinyume kabisa na katiba na za kisiasa kabisa. Historia hiyo, inayowakilisha kifo cha rais wa sita tangu wakati wa mwisho mwaka 1989 hadi kwa rais wa nane aliye miongoni mwa wale saba, ilianza na kesi za kisiasa (Kesi za Pelosi), na inamalizika kwa kifo cha Chama cha Democratic, na mfululizo wa pili wa Kesi za Pelosi, huku walengwa wa kisiasa wakigeuzwa.

The illustration of the history is located in chapter eleven of Revelation, which found its first fulfillment in the French Revolution. The French Revolution is the classic historical example of the guillotine type of political warfare that identifies one ruling party killing another, and then having that very same ruling power overthrown and persecuted themselves.

Kielelezo cha historia kipo katika sura ya kumi na moja ya Ufunuo, ambacho kilipata utimilifu wake wa kwanza katika Mapinduzi ya Ufaransa. Mapinduzi ya Ufaransa ni mfano wa jadi wa kihistoria wa aina ya vita vya kisiasa vya gilotini vinavyoonyesha chama tawala kimoja kikiua kingine, kisha utawala huo huo baadaye ukapinduliwa, nao wenyewe wakateswa.

The period from the inauguration of Biden and the Pelosi Trials, unto the second inauguration of Trump and the reversal of the Pelosi Trials identifies the end of the Democratic party, and it identifies when Trump repeats the implementation of a set of executive orders that were typified by the Alien and Sedition Acts. The implementation of those executive orders will begin the second Pelosi Trials and identify the beginning of the period when the image of the beast is begun in earnest. That period ends at the enforcement of the Sunday law, so the period begins with executive orders paralleling the Alien and Sedition Acts, and ends with the Sunday law. It is there that the Republican party ends.

Kipindi kuanzia kuapishwa kwa Biden na Kesi za Pelosi, hadi kuapishwa kwa mara ya pili kwa Trump na kubatilishwa kwa Kesi za Pelosi, kinaashiria mwisho wa Chama cha Democratic, na kinaashiria wakati ambao Trump atakaporudia utekelezaji wa mkusanyiko wa amri za kiutendaji zinazofanana na Sheria za Wageni na Uchochezi. Utekelezaji wa amri hizo za kiutendaji utaanzisha Kesi za Pelosi za pili na utaashiria mwanzo wa kipindi ambacho sanamu ya mnyama inaanzishwa kwa dhati. Kipindi hicho kinamalizika wakati wa utekelezaji wa Sheria ya Jumapili, hivyo kipindi hicho kinaanza na amri za kiutendaji zinazofanana na Sheria za Wageni na Uchochezi, na kinamalizika kwa Sheria ya Jumapili. Hapo ndipo Chama cha Republican kinapomalizika.

Both periods representing the conclusion of the Democratic party and then the Republican party are prophetically connected, and are represented by the period of twenty-two years from 1776 unto 1798. That period has three waymarks; the Declaration of Independence in 1776, thirteen years later the Constitution, followed by the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Those three waymarks find fulfillment in the line of the Democratic and Republican parties, though the application of the second and third waymark is at a different point in each line.

Vipindi vyote viwili vinavyoashiria kufikia tamati kwa chama cha Democratic na kisha chama cha Republican vimeunganishwa kinabii, na vinawakilishwa na kipindi cha miaka ishirini na miwili kuanzia 1776 hadi 1798. Kipindi hicho kina alama tatu za njia; Tamko la Uhuru mnamo 1776, miaka kumi na tatu baadaye Katiba, kisha kufuatiwa na Sheria za Wageni na Uchochezi za 1798. Alama hizo tatu za njia zinapata utimilifu katika mfululizo wa vyama vya Democratic na Republican, ijapokuwa matumizi ya alama ya pili na ya tatu yako katika nyakati tofauti katika kila mfululizo.

We will explain these waymarks and their fulfillments in the next article.

Tutafafanua alama hizi za njia na jinsi zilivyotimia katika makala ijayo.

> “There are but two parties, Satan works with his crooked, deceiving power, and through strong delusions he catches all who do not abide in the truth, who have turned away their ears from the truth, and have turned unto fables. Satan himself abode not in the truth, he is the mystery of iniquity. Through his subtlety he gives to his soul-destroying errors the appearance of truth. Herein is their power to deceive. It is because they are a counterfeit of the truth that Spiritualism, Theosophy, and the like deceptions gain such power over the minds of men. Herein is the masterly working of Satan. He pretends to be the Savior of man, the benefactor of the human race, and thus he more readily lures his victims to destruction.

> Kuna pande mbili tu; Shetani hufanya kazi kwa nguvu zake zilizopotoka za udanganyifu, na kwa udanganyifu mkubwa huwanasa wote wasiodumu katika kweli, waliogeuza masikio yao mbali na kweli, na wamegeukia hadithi za uongo. Shetani mwenyewe hakudumu katika kweli; yeye ndiye siri ya uasi. Kwa ujanja wake wa hila anazipa mafundisho yake potofu ya kuangamiza roho mwonekano wa kweli. Hapo ndipo ilipo nguvu yao ya kudanganya. Ni kwa sababu ni nakala bandia ya kweli ndipo Uspiritizimu, Teosofia, na udanganyifu wa namna hiyo hupata nguvu kubwa juu ya akili za watu. Hapo ndipo panapoonekana ujanja mkuu wa Shetani. Anajifanya kuwa Mwokozi wa mwanadamu, mfadhili wa jamii ya wanadamu, na hivyo huwavuta kwa urahisi zaidi wahanga wake kwenye maangamizi.

> “We are warned in the word of God that sleepless vigilance is the price of safety. Only in the straight path of truth and righteousness can we escape the tempter’s power. But the world is ensnared. Satan’s skill is exercised in devising plans and methods without number to accomplish his purposes. Dissimulation has become a fine art with him, and he works in the guise of an angel of light. God’s eye alone discerns his schemes to contaminate the world with false and ruinous principles bearing on their face the appearance of genuine goodness. He works to restrict religious liberty, and to bring into the religious world a species of slavery. Organizations, institutions, unless kept by the power of God, will work under Satan’s dictation to bring men under the control of men: and fraud and guile will bear the semblance of zeal for truth, and for the advancement of the kingdom of God. Whatever in our practice is not as open as the day, belongs to the methods of the prince of evil. His methods are practiced even among Seventh Day Adventists, who claim to have advanced truth.

> Tunaonywa katika neno la Mungu kwamba uangalifu wa kukesha ndio gharama ya usalama. Ni katika njia nyofu ya kweli na haki tu ndipo tunaweza kuepuka nguvu za yule mjaribu. Lakini dunia imenaswa. Ustadi wa Shetani unatumika katika kubuni mipango na mbinu zisizo na idadi ili kutimiza makusudi yake. Kujifanya kumekuwa sanaa iliyo bora kwake, naye hufanya kazi kwa sura ya malaika wa nuru. Jicho la Mungu peke yake hutambua njama zake za kuuchafua ulimwengu kwa kanuni za uongo na za uharibifu ambazo kwa nje huonekana kuwa ni wema wa kweli. Hufanya kazi kuzuia uhuru wa kidini, na kuleta katika ulimwengu wa dini aina fulani ya utumwa. Mashirika, taasisi, zisipolindwa kwa nguvu ya Mungu, zitafanya kazi chini ya maelekezo ya Shetani ili kuwaweka watu chini ya udhibiti wa wanadamu; na udanganyifu na hila vitakuwa na mwonekano wa bidii kwa kweli, na kwa kuendeleza ufalme wa Mungu. Chochote katika matendo yetu ambacho si wazi kama mchana, ni cha mbinu za mkuu wa uovu. Mbinu zake zinatendwa hata miongoni mwa Waadventista Wasabato, wanaodai kuwa na kweli iliyoendelea.

> “If men resist the warnings the Lord sends them, they become even leaders in evil practices; such men assume to exercise the prerogatives of God—they presume to do that which God himself will not do in seeking to control the minds of men. They introduce their own methods and plans, and through their misconceptions of God, they weaken the faith of others in the truth, and bring in false principles that will work like leaven to taint and corrupt our institutions and churches. Anything that lowers man’s conception of righteousness, and equity, and impartial judgment, any devise or precept that brings God’s human agents under the control of human minds, impairs their faith in God; it separates the soul from God, for it leads away from the path of strict integrity and righteousness.

> Ikiwa watu wanayapinga maonyo ambayo Bwana anawapelekea, wanakuwa hata viongozi wa matendo maovu; watu kama hao hujidai kutekeleza mamlaka ya kipekee ya Mungu, hudiriki kufanya jambo ambalo Mungu mwenyewe hafanyi: kujaribu kudhibiti akili za wanadamu. Huleta mbinu na mipango yao wenyewe, na kupitia dhana zao potovu kumhusu Mungu, hudhoofisha imani ya wengine katika kweli, na kuingiza kanuni za uongo zitakazofanya kazi kama chachu ya kuchafua na kupotosha taasisi na makanisa yetu. Chochote kinachopunguza mtazamo wa mwanadamu kuhusu haki, uadilifu, na hukumu isiyo na upendeleo, na njia yoyote au fundisho lolote linalowaweka watumishi wa Mungu wa kibinadamu chini ya udhibiti wa akili za wanadamu, hudhoofisha imani yao kwa Mungu; hutenganisha nafsi na Mungu, kwa kuwa huiondoa kutoka katika njia ya unyofu wa dhati na haki.

> “God will not vindicate any device whereby man shall in the slightest degree rule or oppress his fellow-man. The only hope for fallen man is to look to Jesus, and receive him as the only Savior. As soon as man begins to make an iron rule for other men, as soon as he begins to harness up and drive men according to his own mind, he dishonors God, and imperils his own soul, and the souls of his brethren. Sinful man can find hope and righteousness only in God; and no human being is righteous any longer than he has faith in God, and maintains the vital connection with him. A flower of the field must have its root in the soil; it must have air, dew, showers, and sunshine. It will flourish only as it receives these advantages, and all are from God. So with men. We receive from God that which ministers to the life of the soul. We are warned not to trust in man, nor to make flesh our arm. A curse is pronounced upon all who do this.” The 1888 Materials, 1432–1434.

> "Mungu hatahalalisha njia yoyote ambayo kwa namna yoyote mwanadamu atatawala au atamkandamiza mwanadamu mwenzake hata kwa kiwango kidogo. Tumaini la pekee kwa mwanadamu aliyeanguka ni kumtazama Yesu, na kumpokea kama Mwokozi wa pekee. Mara tu mwanadamu anapoanza kuweka sheria kali isiyonyumbulika kwa wanadamu wenzake, mara tu anapoanza kuwaweka watu nira na kuwaendesha sawasawa na mawazo yake mwenyewe, anamvunjia Mungu heshima, na kuiweka roho yake mwenyewe hatarini, pamoja na roho za ndugu zake. Mwanadamu mwenye dhambi anaweza kupata tumaini na haki kwa Mungu tu; na hakuna binadamu anayeendelea kuwa mwenye haki isipokuwa anapokuwa na imani kwa Mungu na kudumisha uhusiano wa uhai naye. Ua la kondeni lazima liwe na mzizi wake udongoni; lazima lipate hewa, umande, manyunyu, na mwanga wa jua. Litastawi tu linapopokea mambo haya, na vyote vimetoka kwa Mungu. Ndivyo ilivyo na wanadamu. Tunapokea kutoka kwa Mungu kile kinachohudumia uhai wa roho. Tunaonywa tusimtumainie mwanadamu, wala tusifanye mwili kuwa nguvu yetu. Laana imetangazwa juu ya wote wanaofanya hivi." The 1888 Materials, 1432-1434.
