The great test for the people of God that they must pass before they are sealed is the formation of the image of the beast. That formation occurs from September 11, 2001 unto the Sunday law in the United States. That prophetic period represents the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the period where every biblical vision finds its perfect fulfillment. In that period the true Protestant horn will be purified and for eternity reflect the image of Christ, for Christ is a Protestant.

Uvavanyo olukhulu lwabantu bakaThixo ekufuneka baluphumelele ngaphambi kokuba batywinwe kukwakhiwa komfanekiselo werhamncwa. Olo lwakhiwo lwenzeka ukususela ngoSeptemba 11, 2001 kude kuse kumthetho weCawa eUnited States. Elo xesha lesiprofeto limela ixesha lokutywinwa kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka, kwanexesha apho yonke imibono yeBhayibhile ifumana ukuzaliseka kwayo okugqibeleleyo. Kwelo xesha uphondo lokwenyaniso lobuProtestanti luya kuhlanjululwa, lize ngonaphakade lubonakalise umfanekiselo kaKristu, kuba uKristu unguMProtestanti.

> “Christ was a protestant. He protested against the formal worship of the Jewish nation, who rejected the counsel of God against themselves. He told them that they taught for doctrines the commandments of men, and that they were pretenders and hypocrites. Like whited sepulchers they were beautiful without, but within full of impurity and corruption. The Reformers date back to Christ and the apostles. They came out and separated themselves from a religion of forms and ceremonies. Luther and his followers did not invent the reformed religion. They simply accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles. The Bible is presented to us as a sufficient guide; but the pope and his workers remove it from the people as if it were a curse, because it exposes their pretensions and rebukes their idolatry.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.

> “UKristu wayengumProtestanti. Wavakalisa ukuchasa unqulo olusemthethweni lwesizwe samaYuda, esasala ukwamkela icebo likaThixo ngokuchasene nabo ngokwabo. Wabaxelela ukuba bafundisa njengemfundiso imithetho yabantu, nokuba babengabazenzisayo nabahanahanisi. Njengamangcwaba aqatywe mhlophe, babebahle ngaphandle, kodwa ngaphakathi bezele kukungcola nokonakala. AbaHlaziyi babuyela umva kuKristu nakubapostile. Baphuma baza bazahlula kwinkolo yeendlela zesithethe nemibhiyozo. ULutere nabalandeli bakhe abazange bayile inkolo ehlaziyiweyo. Basuka nje bayamkela njengoko yaziswa nguKristu nabapostile. IBhayibhile ibekwe phambi kwethu njengesikhokelo esaneleyo; kodwa upopu nabasebenzi bakhe bayisusa ebantwini ngokungathi sisiqalekiso, kuba ityhila ukuzibanga kwabo ize ikhalimele unqulo-zithixo lwabo.” Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.

In the sealing time, the Protestant horn is purified and purged. In the same time period the apostate Republican horn joins with the apostate Protestants, thus forming a horn of power that is a combination of church and state. The two horns of the earth beast are then the image of the beast, and the image of Christ. The horn of apostasy is the twofold relation of a corrupt church with a corrupt state, and the horn of righteousness is the twofold relation of Divinity with humanity.

Ngexesha lokutywinwa, uphondo lwamaProtestanti luyahlanjululwa lize luhlanjululwe ngokupheleleyo. Ngelo xesha linye uphondo lwamaRiphabhlikhi oluweyo luyazimanya namaProtestanti aweyo, ngaloo ndlela kusenziwa uphondo lwamandla oluyindibaniselwano yecawe norhulumente. Ngoko ke iimpondo zombini zerhamncwa lomhlaba ziba ngumfanekiselo werhamncwa, nomfanekiselo kaKristu. Uphondo lokuwexuka lulwalamano oluphindwe kabini lwecawe eyonakeleyo norhulumente owonakeleyo, yaye uphondo lobulungisa lulwalamano oluphindwe kabini loButhixo noluntu.

The image of the beast is thereafter formed in the world, and it is a twofold beast represented by a State (the United Nations), that has accepted the apostate Protestantism of the earth beast as its leading head of ten heads. Upon that beast the woman, who is the mother of harlots, reigns over the beast of ten kings. The beast she rides upon is a combination of Church and State, as represented by Herod’s incestuous spiritual fornication with Herodias’ daughter Salome. And the relationship between the woman that reigns over the beast is also a combination of Church and State, with the whore of Rome’s unlawful relationship with the kings that make-up the world-wide beast, representing the United Nations. In the image of the beast that is forced upon the entire world every nation will be involved, all the corrupted powers will join together.

Umfanekiso werhamncwa emva koko ubumba ehlabathini, yaye ulirhamncwa eliphindwe kabini, elimelwe nguRhulumente (iZizwe eziManyeneyo), owamkele ubuProtestanti obuwexukileyo berhhamncwa lomhlaba njengentloko yalo ephambili phakathi kweentloko ezilishumi. Phezu kwaloo rhamncwa umfazi, ongumama wamahenyukazi, ulawula irhamncwa lookumkani abalishumi. Irhamncwa alikhweleyo liyindibaniselwano yeCawa noRhulumente, njengoko kumelwe kukukrexeza kokomoya okunesihlobo segazi kukaHerode nentombi kaHerodiya uSalome. Kanjalo nolwalamano oluphakathi komfazi olawula phezu kwerhamncwa luyindibaniselwano yeCawa noRhulumente, apho ubuhenyu beRoma obungekho mthethweni nookumkani abenza irhamncwa lehlabathi liphela, obumela iZizwe eziManyeneyo. Kulo mfanekiso werhamncwa onyanzeliswa phezu kwehlabathi liphela, zonke iintlanga ziya kubandakanyeka, onke amagunya awonakeleyo aya kudibana.

> “Revelation 17:13–14 quoted. ‘These have one mind.’ There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan’s forces. ‘And shall give their power and strength unto the beast.’ Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism.

> “ISityhilelo 17:13–14 sicatshulwe. ‘Aba bacinga nto-nye.’ Kuya kubakho iqhina lomanyano elisezingeni lehlabathi lonke, imvisiswano enkulu enye, umanyano lwemikhosi kaSathana. ‘Baya kulinika irhamncwa amandla abo nobugorha babo.’ Ngaloo ndlela kubonakaliswa kwa loo mandla afanayo obuzwilakhe, acinezelayo, achasene nenkululeko yonqulo, inkululeko yokunqula uThixo ngokwemiyalelo yesazela, njengoko kwabonakaliswayo bubupopu, xa kwixesha elidlulileyo watshutshisa abo babenesibindi sokwala ukuhambelana nezithethe nemibhiyozo yonqulo lobuRoma.”

> “In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God’s people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Law-giver identifies Himself as the Creator of the heavens and the earth.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 8, 983.

> “Kwimfazwe eya kulwiwa ngemihla yokugqibela kuya kudityaniswa, kuchasene nabantu bakaThixo, onke amagunya onakeleyo athe awexuka ekunyanisekeni kuwo umthetho kaYehova. Kule mfazwe iSabatha yomyalelo wesine iya kuba yeyona ndawo inkulu yembambano; kuba emyalelweni weSabatha uMniki-mthetho omkhulu uzichaza njengoMdali wezulu nomhlaba.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 8, 983.

The fact that the rebellion associated with the world-wide image of the beast is “universal,” and represents “all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah,” identifies that the formation of the image of the beast within the United States identifies a unification of all the corrupt powers that have apostatized. The Protestants of the United States apostatized when they rejected the first angel’s message in 1844, and Laodicean Adventism apostatized in 1863. Apostate Protestantism and Laodicean Adventism will form a “bond of union,” with the political factions within the horn of Republicanism, that are seduced by the false prophet, to give up half of their kingdom.

Inyaniso yokuba uvukelo olunxulunyaniswa nomfanekiso werhamncwa wehlabathi liphela “luyindalo-jikelele,” kwaye lumelele “onke amandla awonakeleyo awexukile ekuthembekeni emthethweni kaYehova,” ibonisa ukuba ukumiswa komfanekiso werhamncwa ngaphakathi kweUnited States kubonakalisa umanyano lwawo onke amandla awonakeleyo awexukileyo. AmaProtestanti aseUnited States axuka xa ayesala isigidimi sengelosi yokuqala ngowe-1844, yaye ubuAdventi baseLawodikea baxuka ngowe-1863. UbuProtestanti obexukileyo nobuAdventi baseLawodikea baya kwenza “iqhina lomanyano,” kunye namaqela ezopolitiko angaphakathi kuphondo lweRiphabhlikhanizim, alukuhlwa ngumprofeti wobuxoki, ukuba ancame isiqingatha sobukumkani bawo.

With the world image of the beast, it is the false prophet that deceives the earth. In the image of the beast within the United States the false prophet that produces the unholy, but unified “confederacy of Satan’s forces” must also be a “false prophet”. The world image of the beast is twofold, but it is also a threefold union. That threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet leads the world to Armageddon. In the image of the beast that is first formed within the United States, there must be a threefold union, that is also a beast that is twofold. In both images to the beast, the twofold nature is the combination of Church and State, with the church in control of the relationship.

Ngomfanekiso werhamncwa wehlabathi, ngumprofeti wobuxoki okhohlisa umhlaba. Kumfanekiso werhamncwa ongaphakathi kweUnited States, umprofeti wobuxoki ovelisa “umanyano lwemikhosi kaSathana” olungengcwele kodwa lumanyeneyo, naye kanjalo umele ukuba abe “ngumprofeti wobuxoki”. Umfanekiso werhamncwa wehlabathi unamacala amabini, kodwa ukwangumanyano oluphindwe kathathu. Olo manyano luphindwe kathathu lwenamba, lwerhamncwa, nolomprofeti wobuxoki lukhokelela ihlabathi eArmagedon. Kumfanekiso werhamncwa oqala ukusekwa ngaphakathi kweUnited States, kufanele kubekho umanyano oluphindwe kathathu, olukwalirhamncwa elinamacala amabini. Kuyo yomibini imifanekiso yerhamncwa, indalo enamacala amabini yindibaniselwano yeCawa noRhulumente, iCawa ilawula olo lwalamano.

The threefold union must be represented in both the images of the beasts, but there are two manifestations of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the book of Revelation. The threefold structure of the worldwide image of the beast is represented by spiritualism (the dragon), Catholicism (the beast) and apostate Protestantism (the false prophet). Each of those three have not only a religious element (spiritualism, Catholicism and apostate Protestantism), but they also have a political element. The dragon (socialism in its varied forms), the beast (a monarchy) and the false prophet (begins as a republic, ends as a democracy).

Umanyano oluphindwe kathathu kufuneka lumelwe kuyo yomibini imifanekiso yamarhamncwa, kodwa kukho izibonakaliso ezibini zenamba, zerhamncwa, nezomprofeti wobuxoki encwadini yeSityhilelo. Ulwakhiwo oluphindwe kathathu lomfanekiso wehlabathi wonke werhamncwa lumelwe bubumoya (inamba), ubuKatolika (irhamncwa), nobuProtestanti obuwexukileyo (umprofeti wobuxoki). Ngamnye kwabo bathathu akananto yenkolo kuphela (ubumoya, ubuKatolika, nobuProtestanti obuwexukileyo), kodwa kananjalo unento yezopolitiko. Inamba (ubusoshiyali ngeendlela zayo ezahlukeneyo), irhamncwa (ubukumkani), nomprofeti wobuxoki (uqala njengeriphabliki, uphele njengedemokhrasi).

The threefold union that comes together in the United States is forced together (deceived) by the false prophet, just as is the worldwide image of the beast. In the book of Revelation there is another threefold union that is identified by the three apostate powers that arise out of the bottomless pit. Catholicism arises out of the bottomless pit in chapter seventeen, and it is the beast of the threefold union from the bottomless pit.

Umanyano oluphindwe kathathu oluhlanganisana eUnited States lunyanzeliswa ukuba luhlangane (lukhohliswe) ngumprofeti wobuxoki, kanye njengoko kunjalo ngomfanekiselo werhamncwa wehlabathi liphela. Encwadini yeSityhilelo kukho olunye umanyano oluphindwe kathathu oluchongwa ngamagunya amathathu awexukileyo aphuma enzonzobileni. UbuKatolika buphuma enzonzobileni kwisahluko seshumi elinesixhenxe, yaye lulo irhamncwa kolo manyano luphindwe kathathu oluvela enzonzobileni.

> The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Revelation 17:8.

> Irhamncwa ombonileyo yayikho, ayikho ngoku; yaye iya kunyuka iphume enzonzobileni, iye entshabalalweni; nabo bahleli emhlabeni baya kumangaliswa, abo amagama abo angabhalwanga encwadini yobomi kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi, xa beyibona irhamncwa ebelikho, lingasekho, kanti likho. ISityhilelo 17:8.

The dragon power of atheism arises out of the bottomless pit in chapter eleven.

Amandla enamba okungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo aphuma enzonzobileni engenasiphelo kwisahluko seshumi elinanye.

> 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. Revelation 11:7.

> Kwaye xa beya kube bewugqibile ubungqina babo, irhamncwa elinyukayo liphuma enzonzobileni liya kulwa nabo, liboyise, lize libabulale. ISityhilelo 11:7.

The false prophet of Islam arises out of the bottomless pit in chapter nine.

Umprofeti wobuxoki bamaSilamsi uphuma emhadini ongenasiphelo kwisahluko sesithoba.

> And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. Revelation 9:1–3.

> Yaza ingelosi yesihlanu yavuthela, ndabona inkwenkwezi isiwa ezulwini, sisiya emhlabeni; yaza yona yanikwa isitshixo somngxuma ongenasiphelo. Yawuvula loo mngxuma ungenasiphelo; kwaza kwenyuka umsi uphuma emngxunyeni, unjengomsi weziko elikhulu; ilanga nomoya kwaza kwaba mnyama ngenxa yomsi womngxuma. Kwaye kwaphuma emsini iinkumbi, zaya phezu komhlaba; zaza zona zanikwa amandla, njengoko oonomadudwane bomhlaba benamandla. ISityhilelo 9:1–3.

The star that fell from heaven and opened the bottomless pit, was the false prophet Mohammed, and when he opened the pit, he introduced the warriors of Islam, represented as “locusts”, into the prophetic narrative of the last days. The threefold union of the bottomless pit has a dragon (atheism), and a beast (Catholicism), and a false prophet (Islam). In the worldwide image of the beast, the false prophet is apostate Protestantism. That false prophet deceives the entire world, by the seductive dance of Salome, or the dance of the prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel. In Revelation chapter thirteen, it deceives the world by the miracles that it does in the sight of the beast. Those symbolic representations of deception, represent the force of economic extortion and military might.

Inkwenkwezi eyawa ivela ezulwini yaza yavula umngxuma ongenasiphelo, yayinguMohammed umprofeti wobuxoki, yaye akuba ewuvulile loo mgxobhozo, wazisa amajoni obuSilamsi, amelwe “ziinkumbi”, kungxelo yesiprofeto yemihla yokugqibela. Umanyano oluphindwe kathathu lomngxuma ongenasiphelo lunenamba (ukungakholelwa kuThixo), nerhamncwa (ubuKatolika), nomprofeti wobuxoki (ubuSilamsi). Kumfanekiso werhamncwa wehlabathi liphela, umprofeti wobuxoki bubuProtestanti obuwileyo. Lowo mprofeti wobuxoki ulahlekisa ihlabathi lonke, ngomdaniso okhohlisayo kaSalome, okanye ngomdaniso wabaprofeti bakaBhahali eNtabeni yeKarmele. KwiSityhilelo isahluko seshumi elinesithathu, ulahlekisa ihlabathi ngemimangaliso ayenzayo phambi kwamehlo erhanyncwa. Ezo zimelabizo zophawu zokulahlekisa, zimele amandla okunyanzelisa ngezoqoqosho namandla obukroti bemikhosi.

> And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:13–17.

> Yaye yenza imimangaliso emikhulu, ade enze nomlilo wehla emazulwini use emhlabeni phambi kwabantu; abalahlekise abo bahleliyo phezu komhlaba ngezo zimanga abenikwe igunya lokuzenza phambi kwerhamncwa; esithi kwabahleliyo phezu komhlaba mabalenzele umfanekiso irhamncwa, elo lalinonxeba lwekrele, kodwa laphila. Yaye wanikwa igunya lokunika umoya kumfanekiso werhamncwa, ukuze umfanekiso werhamncwa uthethe, wenze nokuba babulawe bonke abangayi kuwunqula umfanekiso werhamncwa. Yaye ubangela bonke, abancinane nabakhulu, abazizityebi namahlwempu, abakhululekileyo namakhoboka, ukuba banikwe uphawu esandleni sabo sokunene okanye emabunzini abo; kwanokuba kungabikho namnye unako ukuthenga nokuthengisa, ngaphandle kwalowo unophawu, okanye igama lerhamncwa, okanye inani legama lalo. IsiTyhilelo 13:13–17.

The deception and miracles that are associated with the false prophet actually represent the force that is brought about by economics (no man might buy or sell), and military might (should be killed). The false prophet of Islam in the Bible represents the work of Islam in angering and distressing the nations. They accomplish their work of angering and distressing by warfare, and the Bible identifies that their warfare in turn produces economic disaster. The warfare of Islam and the ensuing economic fallout is the issue that brings together “all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah” in the United States.

Inkohliso nemimangaliso enxulunyaniswa nomprofeti wobuxoki enyanisweni imele amandla aziswa luqoqosho (“kungabikho bani unokuthenga nokuthengisa”), namandla omkhosi (“makabulawe”). Umprofeti wobuxoki wobuSilamsi eBhayibhileni umele umsebenzi wobuSilamsi wokucaphukisa nokuxinzelela iintlanga. Bawufeza umsebenzi wabo wokucaphukisa nokuxinzelela ngemfazwe, yaye iBhayibhile ichaza ukuba imfazwe yabo yona ivelisa intlekele yezoqoqosho. Imfazwe yobuSilamsi kunye nokuwa koqoqosho okulandelayo ngumba odibanisa ndawonye “onke amagunya onakeleyo athe awexuka ekunyanisekeni emthethweni kaYehova” eUnited States.

At the cross, the Sadducees and the Pharisees fully “apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah,” as they came together to crucify the true Protestant horn. In their rejection of Christ, they chose Barabbas, who represents a false Christ. “Bar,” means son, and “Abba,” means father. Barabbas means “Son of the Father”. Christ was the greatest of all of the prophets, and Barabbas was a symbol of a false prophet.

Emnqamlezweni, abaSadusi nabaFarisi “bawexuka ngokupheleleyo ekunyanisekeni emthethweni kaYehova,” njengoko badibana ukuze babethelele elona phondo lokwenyaniso lobuProtestanti emnqamlezweni. Ekumaleni kwabo uKristu, bakhetha uBharabhas, omela uKristu wobuxoki. “Bar” lithetha unyana, yaye “Abba” lithetha utata. UBharabhas uthetha ukuthi “UNyana kaYise”. UKristu wayengoyena mkhulu kubo bonke abaprofeti, yaye uBharabhas wayeluphawu lomprofeti wobuxoki.

In the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, the two horns of the earth beast come to the point of their final prophetic manifestation. One represents the image of Christ, the other the image of the beast. In the history where these two horns manifest themselves, apostate Protestantism began its journey unto the soon-coming Sunday law with the Patriot Act in 2001. That waymark aligns with the Declaration of Independence, which in its beginning spoke as a lamb, for it expressed the protest of Protestantism against kingly power and popish rule. The waymark it aligns with at its ending (the Patriot Act) expresses the suppression of Protestantism.

Ngexesha lokutywinwa kwamakhulu alikhulu anamashumi amane anesine amawaka, iimpondo ezimbini zerhamncwa lomhlaba zifika kwinqanaba lokubonakaliswa kwazo kokugqibela ngokwesiprofeto. Enye imele umfanekiso kaKristu, enye imele umfanekiso werhamncwa. Kwimbali apho ezi mpondo zimbini zizibonakalisa khona, ubuProtestanti obuwexukileyo baqalisa uhambo lwabo olusingise kumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala ngePatriot Act ngo-2001. Olo phawu lwendlela luyahambelana neDeclaration of Independence, ethe ekuqaleni kwayo yathetha njengemvana, kuba yavakalisa uqhanqalazo lobuProtestanti ngokuchasene namandla obukumkani nolawulo lobupopu. Uphawu lwendlela oluhambelana nalo ekupheleni kwalo (iPatriot Act) luvakalisa ukucinezelwa kobuProtestanti.

The second waymark in the journey of the two horns during the sealing time was represented in the beginning by the Constitution, which codified the separation of the two powers, which is the strength of the earth beast. That waymark reached its parallel in the ending, with the “Kangaroo Court” of the January 6, 2021 hearings, where the basic privileges of the Constitution were set aside, for political expediency.

Uphawu lwesibini kuhambo lweempondo ezimbini ngexesha lokutywinwa lwamelwa ekuqaleni nguMgaqo-siseko, owawumisela ngokusemthethweni ukwahlulwa kwamagunya amabini, olungamandla erhamente yomhlaba. Olo phawu lwendlela lwafikelela kwelingana nalo ekupheleni, nge-“Kangaroo Court” yeengxoxo zomhla wesi-6 kuJanuwari 2021, apho amalungelo asisiseko oMgaqo-siseko abekwa bucala, ngenxa yoncedo lwezopolitiko.

The last waymark in the ending journey of the two horns is the soon coming Sunday law, which was typified in its beginning by the Alien and Sedition Acts. Thus, the beginning histories’ three waymarks identified a transition from the independence and freedom represented by the Lamb (1776), which is the only way to be truly free, unto the bondage of the dragon (1798).

Uphawu lokugqibela kuhambo lokugqibela lweempondo ezimbini ngumthetho weCawa osondelayo, owafanekiselwa ekuqaleni kwawo yiMithetho yabaPhambukeli neyoVukelo. Ngaloo ndlela, iimpawu zendlela ezintathu zembali yokuqala zachaza inguquko isuka kwinkululeko nokuzimela okwakumelwe liMvana (1776), ekukuphela kwendlela yokuba umntu akhululeke ngokwenene, isiya ekubotshweni kwengonyama enkulu, inamba (1798).

The three waymarks of the sealing time identify the final journey of the earth beast, who is the false prophet. That journey ends at Jerusalem, when the ensign is lifted up, and when many shall then say, “Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”

Iimpawu zendlela ezintathu zexesha lokutywinwa zichonga uhambo lokugqibela lwerhamncwa lasemhlabeni, elingumprofeti wobuxoki. Olo hambo luphelela eYerusalem, xa uphawu luphakanyiswa, naxa abaninzi baya kuthi ngoko, “Yizani, sinyuke siye entabeni kaYehova, endlwini kaThixo kaYakobi; yaye uya kusifundisa ngeendlela zakhe, sihambe emendweni yakhe; kuba eZiyon kuya kuphuma umthetho, nelizwi likaYehova livela eYerusalem.”

The final three-step journey of the earth beast, is the journey of a false prophet on his way to Jerusalem. When the True Prophet came and entered into Jerusalem, He did so by riding upon an ass. The earth beast also rides an “ass” into Jerusalem, for as the false prophet (the earth beast), he is represented by Balaam. Balaam, in seeking fame and wealth, turned from a calling to be a true prophet, and “apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah.” He determined to participate in cursing God’s people, just as the United States will do at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Uhambo lokugqibela olunamanqanaba amathathu lwerhamncwa lasemhlabeni, luhambo lomprofeti wobuxoki osendleleni eya eYerusalem. Xa uMprofeti Oyinyaniso weza wangena eYerusalem, wakwenza oko ekhwele iesile. Irhamncwa lasemhlabeni nalo likhwela “iesile” lingena eYerusalem, kuba njengomprofeti wobuxoki (irhamncwa lasemhlabeni), limelwe nguBhileham. UBhileham, ekufuneni udumo nobutyebi, wajika wasuka kubizo lokuba ngumprofeti oyinyaniso, waza “wawexuka ekuthembekeni emthethweni kaYehova.” Wagqiba ekubeni athabathe inxaxheba ekuqalekiseni abantu bakaThixo, kanye njengoko i-United States iya kwenza kumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala.

Balaam’s journey was accomplished by riding upon an ass, and during his journey it is identified three times that Balaam’s ass brought grief to Balaam. The first time the ass turned out of the way.

Uhambo lukaBhileham lwafezekiswa ngokukhwela iesile, yaye ngexesha lohambo lwakhe kuchazwa kathathu ukuba iesile likaBhileham lamzizisela intlungu uBhileham. Okokuqala iesile laphambuka endleleni.

> And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. Numbers 22:23.

> Yabona ke iesile isithunywa sikaYehova simi endleleni, siphethe ikrele laso litsaliwe esandleni saso; ke iesile saphambuka endleleni, saya entsimini; uBhileham wasibetha iesile, ukuze asibuyisele endleleni. Numeri 22:23.

On September 11, 2001, Islam of the third woe, the wild Arabian ass of Bible prophecy, turned Balaam out of the way, for when the great buildings of New York City came down, it was a “turning point” in the history of the nations and the church. The angel standing in the way, was the mighty angel that then descended to lighten the earth with His glory. The ass would once again cause Balaam grief.

NgoSeptemba 11, 2001, ubuSilamsi beshwangusha lesithathu, loo asile yasendle yaseArabhiya yesiprofeto seBhayibhile, bamtyhalela ecaleni uBhileham endleleni, kuba xa izakhiwo ezikhulu zesiXeko saseNew York zawa, oko kwaba “yindawo yokujika” kwimbali yeentlanga nebandla. Ingelosi eyayimi endleleni yayiyeyona ngelosi inamandla eyathi ngelo xesha yehla ukuze ikhanyise ihlabathi ngozuko lwaYo. Iasile yayiza kuphinda kwakhona imbangele uBhileham intlungu.

> But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again. Numbers 22: 24, 25.

> Ke kaloku isithunywa sikaYehova sema endleleni yezidiliya, kukho udonga ngapha, nodonga ngapha. Lathi lakubona iesile isithunywa sikaYehova, lazityhala eludongeni, layicinezela inyawo likaBhilehamo eludongeni; waza walibetha kwakhona. Numeri 22:24, 25.

After September 11, 2001 God’s people were to sing the message of the song of the vineyard (Isaiah chapter twenty-seven), which is currently where Balaam is, with a “wall” on this side, and a “wall” on that side. The wall at the southern border of the United States is the issue that precedes the fall of the “wall of separation of Church and State” at the third and final waymark. The issue of the “wall” of the southern border is where Balaam’s “foot” is crushed, as an internal war over immigration begins to divide the earth beast into two opposing parties in advance of the repetition of the Civil War.

Emva koSeptemba 11, 2001 abantu bakaThixo babemele ukucula umyalezo wengoma yesidiliya (Isaya isahluko samashumi amabini anesixhenxe), apho uBhileham ekho khona ngoku, kukho “udonga” kweli cala, kunye “nodonga” kwelo cala. Udonga olukumda osemazantsi eUnited States ngumcimbi owandulela ukuwa “kodonga lokwahlula iCawe noRhulumente” kwisikhombamzila sesithathu nesokugqibela. Umcimbi “wodonga” olukumda osemazantsi yindawo apho “unyawo” lukaBhileham lucinezelwa khona, njengoko imfazwe yangaphakathi ephathelele ukufuduka kwabantu iqala ukwahlula irhamncwa lomhlaba libe ngamaqela amabini achaseneyo, phambi kokuphindwa kweMfazwe yamakhaya.

The history between the two walls is the history represented by the waymark of the Constitution from 1789 to 1798, which typified the history of 2015, when Trump announced his campaign for the office of the president with his emphasis upon “building the wall”, until the soon coming Sunday law removes the wall of separation of Church and State.

Imbali ephakathi kweendonga ezimbini yimbali emelwe luphawu lwendlela loMgaqo-siseko ukusuka ngowe-1789 ukuya kowe-1798, olwalungumfuziselo wembali ka-2015, xa uTrump wabhengeza iphulo lakhe lokufuna isikhundla sobongameli egxininisa “ukwakha udonga”, de umthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala ususe udonga lokwahlula phakathi kweCawa noRhulumente.

Post-September 11, 2001, the earth beast, represented by Balaam, began to divide. The division of Balaam’s two walls, represents a separation of two classes within both horns of the earth beast, represented by the election of Trump in 2016, the death of the two witnesses in 2020, the Pelosi trials of January 6, 2021, the reviving of the two witnesses in 2023, and the ass crippling Balaam on October 7, 2023.

Emva koSeptemba 11, 2001, irhamncwa lasemhlabeni, elimelwe nguBhileham, laqalisa ukwahlukana. Ukwahlukana kweendonga zikaBhileham ezimbini kumela ukwahlulwa kweendidi ezimbini ngaphakathi kweempondo zombini zerhamncwa lasemhlabeni, okubonakaliswa kukunyulwa kukaTrump ngo-2016, ukufa kwamangqina amabini ngo-2020, amatyala kaPelosi kaJanuwari 6, 2021, ukuvuselelwa kwamangqina amabini ngo-2023, kunye nokuba iesile lamkhubaza uBhileham ngo-Oktobha 7, 2023.

The last waymark of the journey of Balaam is when the ass “speaks”, and it is at the soon-coming Sunday law where the United States speaks as a dragon, where the angel of Revelation eighteen speaks a second time, and where Habakkuk’s vision that has tarried speaks. The vision that tarried was the vision of Islam of the third woe, and it speaks as a wild ass by its wild actions at the soon coming Sunday law.

Uphawu lokugqibela lohambo lukaBhilehamo kuxa iesile “lithetha”, yaye kukumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala apho iUnited States ithetha njengenamba, apho ingelosi yeSityhilelo seshumi elinesibhozo ithetha okwesibini, nalapho umbono kaHabhakuki obelibele uthetha. Umbono obelibele yayingumbono wobuSilamsi besishwangusha sesithathu, yaye uthetha njengeesile lasendle ngezenzo zalo zasendle kumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala.

> And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. Numbers 22:26–31.

> Yaye isithunywa sikaYehova saqhubeka saya phambili, sema endaweni emxinwa, apho kwakungekho ndlela yakuphambukela ngasekunene nangasekhohlo. Ke kaloku, xa i-esile sabona isithunywa sikaYehova, sawela phantsi phantsi kukaBhileham; nomsindo kaBhileham wavutha, wayibetha i-esile ngentonga. UYehova wawuvula umlomo we-esile, sathi kuBhileham, Ndenze ntoni na kuwe, ude undibethe ezi zihlandlo zithathu? Wathi uBhileham kwi-esile, Kungenxa yokuba undigculele; akwaba bekukho ikrele esandleni sam, kuba ngoku bendiya kukubulala. Yathi i-esile kuBhileham, Andiyiyo na i-esile yakho, oyikhwele kususela mhla ndaba yeyakho kwada kwangolu suku? ndakha ndaqhela na ukwenza oku kuwe? Wathi yena, Hayi. Wandula ke uYehova wawavula amehlo kaBhileham, wasibona isithunywa sikaYehova simi endleleni, sinekrele laso likhutshiwe esandleni saso; waqubuda intloko yakhe, waziphosa ngobuso emhlabeni. Numeri 22:26–31.

The United States is the false prophet that deceives the world to set up a worldwide image of the beast. In the period of time that is the time of the formation of the image of the beast within the United States, the United States is carried by the false prophet, represented by Balaam’s ass. The false prophet in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand that forces all those corrupt powers in the United States to come together into a church and state relationship is Islam of the third woe.

I-United States ngumprofeti wobuxoki okhohlisa ihlabathi ukuba limise umfanekiso werhamncwa wehlabathi liphela. Ngexesha eliyixesha lokubunjwa komfanekiso werhamncwa ngaphakathi kwe-United States, i-United States ithwalwa ngumprofeti wobuxoki, emelwe yidonki kaBhileham. Umprofeti wobuxoki ngexesha lokutywinwa kwabangamakhulu alikhulu anamashumi amane anesine amawaka, onyanzela onke loo magunya onakeleyo e-United States ukuba ahlangane abe kubudlelane bebandla norhulumente, yiSilamsi seshwangusha sesithathu.

It accomplishes its work through warfare, and the economic collapse that is brought about by that warfare. Those two characteristics are the same forces the false prophet of the United States employs to force the entire world with when it repeats the work that was done in the United States by the false prophet of the bottomless pit.

Ifeza umsebenzi wayo ngemfazwe, nangokuwa koqoqosho okuziswa yileyo mfazwe. Ezo mpawu zimbini zezona mandla kanye asetyenziswa ngumprofeti wobuxoki wase-United States ukunyanzela ihlabathi liphela ngawo xa ephinda umsebenzi owenziwa e-United States ngumprofeti wobuxoki womngxuma ongenasiphelo.

The United States is now between the issue of the wall (immigration) which was the heart of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, and the wall of the separation of church and state that is fully removed at the soon coming Sunday law. The United States is already crippled financially, for its national debt is beyond repair. The dragon power is currently propping up a false financial forecast, but it is a lie that claims that wealth is produced with a printing press, but after all, the dragon is the liar of Bible prophecy. He propagates his lie through the modern representation of Hitler’s famous propaganda machine, thus providing the logic for the fourth element of the Alien and Sedition Acts to be repeated, which provided the president with the authority to shut down any media outlet that opposed his ideas.

I-United States ngoku iphakathi komcimbi wodonga (wokufuduka) owawuyintliziyo yeMithetho ye-Alien and Sedition ka-1798, nodonga lokwahlulwa kwebandla norhulumente oluya kususwa ngokupheleleyo emthethweni weCawa oza kufika kungekudala. I-United States sele ikhubazekile ngokwezimali, kuba ityala layo lesizwe lingaphaya kokulungiseka. Amandla enamba ngoku axhasa uqikelelo lobuxoki lwezemali, kodwa bubuxoki obuthi ubutyebi buveliswa ngomatshini wokushicilela imali, kodwa ke, eneneni, inamba ngumxoki wesiprofeto seBhayibhile. Isasaza ubuxoki bayo ngommeli wale mihla womatshini odumileyo wopropaganda kaHitler, ngaloo ndlela ibonelela ngengqiqo yokuba into yesine yeMithetho ye-Alien and Sedition iphinde yenziwe, eyayinika umongameli igunya lokuvala nayiphi na indlu yeendaba eyayiphikisana neengcinga zakhe.

Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing. The image of the beast in the United States must possess the same prophetic characteristics of the worldwide image of the beast, and it does, but the deception that produces the corrupted alliance within the false prophet of the earth beast is the false prophet of Islam. Both Balaam and the ass are symbols of false prophets. The history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the history of the three bottomless pit powers. Islam from the bottomless pit is the first waymark of September 11, 2001. Atheism of the bottomless pit arises to slay the two witnesses in 2020, and Catholicism of the bottomless pit arises from its death at the soon coming Sunday law.

UYesu usoloko ebonisa isiphelo sento ngesiqalo sento. Umfanekiso werhamncwa eUnited States umele ukuba neempawu ezifanayo zesiprofeto njengomfanekiso werhamncwa wehlabathi liphela, yaye unazo; kodwa inkohliso evelisa umanyano olonakeleyo ngaphakathi komprofeti wobuxoki werhamncwa lomhlaba ngumprofeti wobuxoki wobuSilamsi. Bobabini uBhileham ne-esile bangumfuziselo wabaprofeti bobuxoki. Imbali yokutywinwa kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka yimbali yamagunya amathathu omhadi ongenasiphelo. UbuSilamsi obuphuma emhadini ongenasiphelo buyindlela yokuqala kaSeptemba 11, 2001. Ukungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo komhadi ongenasiphelo kuphakama ukuze kubulawe amangqina amabini ngo-2020, yaye ubuKatolika bomhadi ongenasiphelo buyavuka ekufeni kwabo emthethweni weCawa osondelayo.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Siza kuqhubeka nesi sifundo kwinqaku elilandelayo.

> “The world is not improving. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. By rejecting the Son of God, the personification of the only true God, who possessed goodness, mercy, and untiring love, whose heart was ever touched with human woe, and choosing a murderer in his stead, the Jews showed what human nature can and will do when the restraining power of the Spirit of God is removed, and men are under the control of the apostate. Those who choose Satan as their ruler will reveal the spirit of their chosen master.

> “Ihlabathi aliphucuki. Abantu abangendawo nabakhohlisi baya kuba mbi ngakumbi nangakumbi, bekhohlisa yaye bekhohliswa. Ngokulahla uNyana kaThixo, ukumelwa kobuqu koThixo oyinyaniso okuphela kwakhe, owayenobulunga, inceba, nothando olungadinwayo, ontliziyo yakhe yayisoloko ichukunyiswa ziintsizi zabantu, baza bakhetha umbulali esikhundleni sakhe, amaYuda abonakalisa oko indalo yomntu inako nokuba iya kwenza xa amandla athintelayo oMoya kaThixo esusiwe, yaye abantu bephantsi kolawulo lowaphukileyo. Abo bakhetha uSathana njengomlawuli wabo baya kutyhila umoya wenkosi abayikhethileyo.”

> “The world will not improve till God goes out of his place to punish her for her iniquity. Then the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Christ warned his disciples, ‘Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.’

> “Ihlabathi aliyi kuphucuka ade uThixo aphume endaweni yakhe ukuba alohlwaye ngenxa yobugwenxa balo. Ngoko umhlaba uya kutyhila igazi lawo, ungabi saphinda uwagqume ababulawayo bawo. UKristu walumkisa abafundi bakhe wathi, ‘Lumkani ukuze ningalahlekiswa mntu. Kuba baninzi abaya kuza egameni lam, besithi, NdinguKristu; yaye baya kulahlekisa abaninzi. Nize nive ngeemfazwe namarhe eemfazwe; qaphelani ningakhathazeki; kuba zonke ezi zinto zimele ukwenzeka, kodwa isiphelo asikafiki. Kuba uhlanga luya kuvukela uhlanga, nobukumkani buvukele ubukumkani; yaye kuya kubakho iindlala, neendyikitya zokufa, neenyikima zomhlaba, kwiindawo ngeendawo. Zonke ezi zinto zisisiqalo seembandezelo. Kwandule ke baninikele ekubandezelweni, banibulale; yaye niya kuthiywa ziintlanga zonke ngenxa yegama lam. Ngelo xesha abaninzi baya kukhubeka, bangcatshane, bathiyane. Kuya kuvela nabaprofeti abaninzi bobuxoki, balahlekise abaninzi. Kwaye ngenxa yokwanda kobugwenxa, uthando lwabaninzi luya kuphola. Ke lowo uya kunyamezela kude kube sekupheleni, ngulowo uya kusindiswa.’”

> “When Christ was upon this earth, the world preferred Barabbas. And today the world and the churches are making the same choice. The scenes of the betrayal, the rejection, and the crucifixion of Christ have been re-enacted, and will again be re-enacted on an immense scale. People will be filled with the attributes of the enemy, and with them his delusions will have great power. Just to that degree that light is refused will there be misconception and misunderstanding. Those who reject Christ and choose Barabbas work under a ruinous deception. Misrepresentation and false witness will grow to open rebellion. The eye being evil, the whole body will be full of darkness. Those who give their affections to any leader but Christ will find themselves under the control, body, soul, and spirit, of an infatuation that is so entrancing that under its power souls turn away from hearing the truth to believe a lie. They are ensnared and taken, and by their every action they cry, Release unto us Barabbas, but crucify Christ.

> “Xa uKristu wayelapha emhlabeni, ihlabathi lakhetha uBharebha. Kanti namhlanje ihlabathi namabandla enza olo khetho lunye. Izigigaba zokungcatshwa, zokwaliwa, nezokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni kukaKristu ziye zaphindwa, yaye ziya kuphinda zenzeke kwakhona ngomlinganiselo omkhulu kakhulu. Abantu baya kuzaliswa ziimpawu zotshaba, yaye kunye nabo iinkohliso zalo ziya kuba namandla amakhulu. Kanye ngokwalo mlinganiselo ukwaliwa ukukhanya, kuya kubakho ukungaqondi nokungavisisani. Abo bamalayo uKristu bakhethe uBharebha basebenza phantsi kwenkohliso etshabalalisayo. Ukugqwethwa kwenyaniso nobungqina bobuxoki kuya kukhula kube yimvukelo evulekileyo. Iliso xa lilibi, umzimba wonke uya kuzala bubumnyama. Abo banikela uthando lwabo kuye nawuphi na umkhokeli ongenguye uKristu baya kuzifumana bephantsi kolawulo, ngomzimba, ngomphefumlo, nangomoya, lokuthabatheka okukhohlisayo okunomtsalane ongaka, kangangokuba phantsi kwamandla ako imiphefumlo ijike imke ekuyiveni inyaniso ukuze ikholwe ubuxoki. Bayarhintyelwa babanjwe, yaye ngezenzo zabo zonke bayakhala besithi, Sikhululele uBharebha, kodwa mbethelele emnqamlezweni uKristu.”

> “Even now this decision is being made. The scenes enacted at the cross are being re-enacted. In the churches that have departed from truth and righteousness it is being revealed what human nature can do and will do when the love of God is not an abiding principle in the soul. We need not be surprised at anything that may take place now. We need not marvel at any developments of horror. Those who trample under their unholy feet the law of God have the same spirit as had the men who insulted and betrayed Jesus. Without any compunction of conscience, they will do the deeds of their father, the devil. They will ask the question that came from the traitorous lips of Judas, What will you give me if I betray unto you Jesus the Christ? Even now Christ is being betrayed in the person of his saints.” Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.

> “Kwase ngoku esi sigqibo siyathathwa. Imiboniso eyenziwa emnqamlezweni iyaphindwa kwakhona. Ezicaweni ezimkile enyanisweni nasebulungiseni kuyatyhilwa oko indalo yomntu enokukwenza nekuyakukwenza xa uthando lukaThixo lungengomgaqo ohlala ngaphakathi emphefumlweni. Akuyomfuneko ukuba simangaliswe yiyo nantoni na enokuthi yenzeke ngoku. Akuyomfuneko ukuba sothuswe lulo naluphi na uphuhliso oloyikekayo. Abo bawunyathela phantsi ngeenyawo zabo ezingcwele mthethweni umthetho kaThixo banomoya ofanayo nalowo babenawo abantu abamnyelisayo nabamngcatshayo uYesu. Bengenasazela sokuzisola konke konke, baya kwenza izenzo zikayise wabo, umtyholi. Baya kubuza umbuzo owaphuma emilebeni enenkohliso kaYudas, Niza kundinika ntoni na ukuba ndinimngcatshele uYesu uKristu? Kwase ngoku uKristu uyangcatshwa kumntu wabangcwele bakhe.” Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.
