We are taking time to set forth the structure of Daniel chapter eleven, as we address verse forty. Verse forty is the parallel of verse fourteen of Daniel chapter eight, in the prophetic sense that the light, which Christ, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah unsealed in 1798, was based upon Daniel chapter eight verse fourteen, so too, the light which He unsealed in 1989 was based upon verse forty.

Sithabatha ixesha ukuchaza ulwakhiwo lukaDaniyeli isahluko seshumi elinanye, njengoko sijongene nendinyana yamashumi amane. Indinyana yamashumi amane yile inxulunyaniswa nendinyana yeshumi elinesine kaDaniyeli isahluko sesibhozo, ngengqiqo yesiprofeto yokuba ukukhanya, awathi uKristu, njengeNgonyama yesizwe sakwaYuda, wakutyhila ngo-1798, kwakusekelwe kuDaniyeli isahluko sesibhozo indinyana yeshumi elinesine; ngokunjalo, ukukhanya awathi wakutyhila ngo-1989 kwakusekelwe kwindinyana yamashumi amane.

As we have pointed out, but not actually addressed in a previous article, when employing the latter rain methodology of “line upon line,” verse forty sets forth two distinct lines, for it contains the time of the end for both the movement of the first angel and the movement of the third angel.

Njengoko siye saphawula, kodwa singazange siyicombulule ngokwenene kwinqaku elingaphambili, xa kusetyenziswa indlela yemvula yasekupheleni ethi “umgca phezu komgca,” ivesi yamashumi amane ibeka phambili imigca emibini eyahlukileyo, kuba iqulethe ixesha lesiphelo kokubini kwentshukumo yengelosi yokuqala nakwentshukumo yengelosi yesithathu.

When we bring together verse forty’s time of the end in 1798, and its time of the end in 1989, we find that Daniel chapter eight, verse fourteen, aligns with Daniel chapter eleven, verse forty, for they both represent the knowledge that is unsealed in the prophetic history of the three angels of Revelation fourteen. They are also connected by the fact that verse fourteen is the “mareh” vision of Christ’s sudden “appearance” to the temple, and verse forty is the “chazon” vision of the twenty five hundred and twenty years of prophetic history. One is a point in time, the other is a period of time.

Xa sidibanisa ixesha lesiphelo lonyaka ka-1798 elikwindima yamashumi amane, kunye nexesha lalo lesiphelo lonyaka ka-1989, sifumanisa ukuba uDaniyeli isahluko sesibhozo, indima yeshumi elinesine, uyahambelana noDaniyeli isahluko seshumi elinanye, indima yamashumi amane, kuba zombini zimele ulwazi olutyhiliweyo kwimbali yesiprofeto yeengelosi ezintathu zeSityhilelo seshumi elinesine. Zikwanxulunyaniswa yinyaniso yokuba indima yeshumi elinesine ingumbono we-“mareh” wokuthi “ukuvela” kukaKristu ngesiquphe etempileni, yaye indima yamashumi amane ingumbono we-“chazon” weminyaka engamawaka amabini anamakhulu mahlanu anamashumi amabini embali yesiprofeto. Enye yingongoma yexesha, enye lixesha elithabatha ixesha elide.

One represents the restoration and cleansing of the temple, the other the destruction and trampling down of the temple. One represents the twenty-three hundred years, and the other the twenty-five hundred and twenty years. One is represented by the river Ulai, the other by the river Hiddekel. One represents humanity, the other represents divinity. Rightly understood, verse forty in connection with verse fourteen is amazingly profound. 1798 represents the work of divinity, and 1989 represents the rebellion of humanity.

Enye imele ukubuyiselwa nokuhlanjululwa kwetempile, kanti enye imele ukutshatyalaliswa nokunyathelwa phantsi kwetempile. Enye imele iminyaka engamawaka amabini anamakhulu amathathu, kanti enye imele iminyaka engamawaka amabini anamakhulu amahlanu anamashumi amabini. Enye imelwe ngumlambo iUlai, enye imelwe ngumlambo iHiddekel. Enye imele ubuntu, enye imele ubuthixo. Xa ivesi yamashumi amane iqondwa ngokuchanekileyo inxulumene nevesi yeshumi elinesine, inzulu ngokumangalisayo. U-1798 umele umsebenzi wobuthixo, yaye u-1989 umele imvukelo yobuntu.

We identified in the previous article that the description of the conquering of three obstacles by the king of the north is represented in a sequential fashion, but that the actual application of the events portrayed need to be carefully applied, for verses forty-two through and including verse forty-four, are actually aligned with verse forty-one, which is the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. It is there that the threefold union is accomplished, and there where the loud cry message of the “east” and “north” begins.

Saqaphela kwinqaku elidlulileyo ukuba inkcazo yokoyiswa kwezithintelo ezintathu ngukumkani wasentla ibonakaliswa ngendlela elandelelanayo, kodwa ukuba ukusetyenziswa kweziganeko ezivezwayo kufuna ukusetyenziswa ngononophelo, kuba iindinyana zamashumi amane anesibini kude kuse kwindinyana yamashumi amane anesine, eneneni zihambelana nendinyana yamashumi amane ananye, engumthetho weCawa osondelayo eUnited States. Kulapho umanyano oluphindwe kathathu luphunyezwa khona, yaye kulapho umyalezo wesikhalo esikhulu we-“mpuma” nowe-“mantla” uqala khona.

In Daniel eleven, it has been recognized by Adventist students through the years that Daniel employs a specific technique in his illustrations of Rome. Uriah Smith takes note of it in the book Daniel and Revelation. Daniel first identifies how Rome takes control of the world, and then in the following verses he drops back to the beginning of the history identifying the political conquering, and identifies how Rome interacts with God’s people during that very same history. Then ultimately, he identifies how Rome comes to its end. The principal Daniel employs is called, “repeat and enlarge.”

KuDaniyeli ishumi elinanye, abafundi bama-Adventist baye baqaphela ukutyhubela iminyaka ukuba uDaniyeli usebenzisa ubuchule obuthile kwimifanekiso yakhe yeRoma. U-Uriah Smith uyakuqaphela oko encwadini ethi Daniel and Revelation. UDaniyeli uqala ngokuchaza indlela iRoma elawula ngayo ihlabathi, aze ke kwiindinyana ezilandelayo abuyele ekuqaleni kwembali, echaza uloyiso lwezopolitiko, aze achaze nendlela iRoma enxulumana ngayo nabantu bakaThixo kwangelo xesha lembali linye. Emva koko, ekugqibeleni, uchaza indlela iRoma efikelela ngayo esiphelweni sayo. Umgaqo asetyenziswayo nguDaniyeli ubizwa ngokuba, “phinda uze wandise.”

This three-step technique is identified in verses forty to forty-five. Verses forty to forty-three, identify the three-step process of Modern Rome capturing planet earth, then in verse forty-four, Daniel drops back to verse forty-one, when the “tidings” that are then proclaimed by the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and when the papacy then goes forth with great fury to destroy and utterly make away many. Then in verses forty-five, and chapter twelve, verse one, the papacy comes to his end with none to help, between the seas and the glorious holy mountain, as human probation closes.

Le ndlela enamanyathelo amathathu ichongiwe kwiindima amashumi amane ukuya kwamashumi amane anesihlanu. Iindima amashumi amane ukuya kwamashumi amane anesithathu zichonga inkqubo enamanyathelo amathathu apho iRoma yale mihla ithimba umhlaba wonke, ize ke kwindima yamashumi amane anesine, uDaniyeli abuyele emva kwindima yamashumi amane ananye, xa “iindaba” ezithi ngelo xesha zivakaliswe ngumqondiso wabaliwaka elinamakhulu amane anamashumi amane anesine, naxa ubupopu buphuma ngoko ngomsindo omkhulu ukuze butshabalalise, buphelise nya abaninzi. Emva koko, kwindima yamashumi amane anesihlanu, nakwisahluko seshumi elinesibini, indima yokuqala, ubupopu bufika esiphelweni sabo kungekho namnye wokubanceda, phakathi kweelwandle nentaba engcwele ezukileyo, njengoko ixesha lovavanyo loluntu livalwa.

In verse thirty, of Daniel eleven, we find the beginning of a history that Sister White quotes word for word through to verse thirty-six, and then writes, “scenes similar to those described in these verses will take place.” Verse thirty and thirty-one identify the historical transition from pagan Rome to papal Rome as the fourth and fifth kingdoms of Bible prophecy, respectively. Verse thirty-one describes the history which represents how papal Rome was placed upon the throne of the earth in the year 538.

Kwivesi yamashumi amathathu, kaDaniyeli ishumi elinanye, sifumana ukuqala kwembali uDade White ayicaphula igama ngelizwi de kuse kwivesi yamashumi amathathu anesithandathu, aze emva koko abhale athi, “iziganeko ezifanayo nezo zichazwe kwezi vesi ziya kwenzeka.” Ivesi yamashumi amathathu neyamaashumi amathathu ananye zichaza uguquko lwembali olusuka kwiRoma yobuhedeni lusiya kwiRoma yobupopu njengezikumkani zesine nesesihlanu zesiprofeto seBhayibhile, ngokulandelelana kwazo. Ivesi yamashumi amathathu ananye ichaza imbali emele indlela iRoma yobupopu eyabekwa ngayo etroneni yomhlaba ngonyaka wama-538.

In verse thirty-one, the first thing identified is when Clovis, king of the Franks (modern France), stood up for the papacy in the year 496. Clovis then converted from outright paganism to the hidden paganism of Catholicism (the religion of his wife Clotilda). He then dedicated his throne to lifting up the papacy to the throne of the earth. Clovis was represented by the “arms,” in the verse, for he dedicated his arm of military might and his arm of monetary might to the work he then undertook.

Kwivesi yamashumi amathathu ananye, into yokuqala echongiweyo kukuba ngowuphi na ixesha uClovis, ukumkani wamaFranks (iFransi yanamhlanje), wema exhasa upopu ngonyaka wama-496. Emva koko uClovis waguquka ekubeni ngumhedeni ocacileyo waya kubuhedeni obufihlakeleyo bobuKatolika (inkolo yomfazi wakhe uClotilda). Wandula ke wanikela itrone yakhe ekuphakamiseni upopu esihlalweni sobukhosi sehlabathi. UClovis wayemelwe “ziingalo,” kwelo vesi, kuba wanikela ingalo yakhe yamandla omkhosi nengalo yakhe yamandla emali emsebenzini awawuqala ngelo xesha.

Clovis’ initial work represented the work of all the kings of formerly pagan Europe who were destined to provide various supports for the whore of Rome as the history unfolded. Clovis, and thereafter France, was anointed by the Catholic church with the title of the first-born of the Catholic church, and also the eldest daughter of the Catholic church. He was the symbol of the first of many kings to commit fornication with the whore of Tyre.

Umsebenzi wokuqala kaClovis wawumela umsebenzi wazo zonke iinkosi zaseYurophu ezazisakuba ziihedeni, ezazimiselwe ukunika iintlobo ngeentlobo zenkxaso kuhenyukazi laseRoma njengoko imbali yayiqhubeka ityhila. UClovis, yaye emva koko iFransi, wathanjiswa yibandla lamaKatolika ngesihloko sokuba lizibulo lebandla lamaKatolika, kwanokuba liyintombi enkulu yebandla lamaKatolika. Wayengumqondiso wokuba ngowokuqala kwiinkosi ezininzi ukrexeza nohenyukazi waseTire.

In this prophetic sense Clovis had been represented by Ahab, who also had committed fornication with Jezebel (symbol of the Catholic church in the book of Revelation), and who was also the premier king of ten tribes, as Clovis became the premier symbol of the ten horns (see Daniel chapter seven) of pagan Rome. Those kings of Europe would ultimately establish the whore of Babylon on the throne of the earth. In this sense Ahab, and Clovis both represent the United States, who commits fornication with the papacy in the last days.

Ngale ngqiqo yobuprofeti uClovis wayemelwe nguAhabhi, lowo naye wenza uhenyuzo noIzebhele (umfuziselo webandla lamaKatolika encwadini yeSityhilelo), nowayesengukumkani oyintloko wezizwe ezilishumi; njengoko uClovis waba ngumfuziselo oyintloko weempondo ezilishumi (bona uDaniyeli isahluko sesixhenxe) zeRoma yobuhedeni. Abo kumkani baseYurophu ekugqibeleni babeza kumisela ihenyukazi laseBhabheli etroneni yehlabathi. Ngale ngqiqo uAhabhi noClovis bobabini bamele iUnited States, eyenza uhenyuzo nobupopu ngemihla yokugqibela.

Ronald Reagan began the fornication, and it will be the last president that forces the other nine kings of the United Nations to also commit the same act. Reagan was president at the time of the end in 1989, and he therefore must prophetically represent the last president in the history where the other nine kings accomplish the same act, for Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing. Reagan was a wealthy, well-known media personality, highly recognized for his own peculiar style of speaking, who initially was in the Democratic party, who eventually switched to the Republican party.

URonald Reagan waqalisa ubuhenyu; yaye iya kuba ngumongameli wokugqibela oya kunyanzela nabanye ookumkani abalithoba beZizwe eziManyeneyo ukuba nabo benze kwaeso senzo sinye. UReagan wayengumongameli ngexesha lesiphelo ngo-1989, yaye ke ngoko ngokwesiprofeto umele amele umongameli wokugqibela embalini apho abo kumkani balithoba bafezekisa kwaeso senzo sinye, kuba uYesu usoloko ebonisa isiphelo sento ngesiqalo sento. UReagan wayesisityebi, engumntu owaziwayo kakhulu kumajelo eendaba, eqondwa kakhulu ngenxa yesimbo sakhe esikhethekileyo sokuthetha, nowaye ekuqaleni ekwiQela lamaDemokhrasi, owathi ekugqibeleni watshintshela kwiQela lamaRiphabhlikhi.

In verse thirty-one, the arms that stood for the papacy would pollute the sanctuary of strength. Prophetically the sanctuary of strength for both pagan Rome and papal Rome was the City of Rome. This is based upon the fact that both Rome’s ruled for a specific period of time from the City of Rome, and when they ruled from the City of Rome, they were essentially invincible.

Kwivesi wamashumi amathathu ananye, iingalo ezazimele ubupopu zazingcolisa ingcwele yamandla. Ngokwesiprofeto, ingcwele yamandla yamaRoma obuhedeni kunye namaRoma obupopu yayisiSixeko saseRoma. Oku kusekelwe kwinto yokuba omabini la maRoma alawula ithuba elithile elithile esuka kwiSixeko saseRoma, yaye xa ayelawula esuka kwiSixeko saseRoma, ngokusisiseko ayengenakoyiswa.

Pagan Rome began its three hundred and sixty year rule at the Battle of Actium, in the year 31 BC. Daniel chapter eleven, verse twenty-four identifies that they would forecast their devices from their stronghold, which was the City of Rome, for a “time.” A prophetic “time,” is three hundred and sixty years, and three hundred and sixty years after the Battle of Actium, where Antony and Cleopatra were defeated, Constantine moved out of the City of Rome to the City of Constantinople and the period of pagan Rome’s invincibility was over.

IRoma yobuhedeni yaqalisa ulawulo lwayo lweminyaka engamakhulu amathathu anamashumi amathandathu kwiDabi laseActium, ngonyaka wama-31 BC. UDaniyeli isahluko seshumi elinanye, ivesi yamashumi amabini anesine uchaza ukuba babeya kuceba amacebo abo besuka kwinqaba yabo, eyayisiSixeko saseRoma, kangangexesha “lexesha.” “Ixesha” lesiprofeto yiminyaka engamakhulu amathathu anamashumi amathandathu, yaye kwiminyaka engamakhulu amathathu anamashumi amathandathu emva kweDabi laseActium, apho uAntony noCleopatra boyiswayo, uConstantine wasuka kwiSixeko saseRoma waya kwiSixeko saseConstantinople, yaye ixesha lokungoyiseki kweRoma yobuhedeni laphela.

When the third geographical obstacle for papal Rome (the Goths), were driven out of the City of Rome in the year 538, papal Rome’s twelve hundred and sixty year rule of supremacy began and continued until 1798, when the pope was removed from the City of Rome, thus delivering the prophetic deadly wound to the papal beast, and in the next year, 1799, that pope (the woman who had ridden the beast) died in captivity.

Xa umqobo wesithathu wejografi kuRoma wobupopu (amaGoth), wagxothwayo kwisiXeko saseRoma ngonyaka wama-538, kwaqalisa ulawulo lobungangamsha lweRoma yobupopu lweminyaka eliwaka elinamakhulu amabini anamashumi amathandathu, lwaza lwaqhubeka de kwangowe-1798, xa upopu wasuswayo kwisiXeko saseRoma, ngaloo ndlela kwanikelwa inxeba elibulalayo lesiprofeto kwirhamncwa lobupopu; yaye kunyaka olandelayo, wama-1799, loo popu (umfazi owayekhwele irhamncwa) wafa esekuthinjweni.

The arms (Clovis) which stood for the papacy were to pollute the sanctuary of strength, and Constantine began that work by philosophically identifying the city as a lesser city than Constantinople, and from that point on, the warfare of that history that was carried out by the enemies of Rome was always focused upon attacking the City of Rome, and by the year 476, there was never again an actual Roman descendant that ruled in the city, until the year 538, when the city became the sanctuary of strength for papal Rome.

Iingalo (uClovis) ezazimela upopu zaziza kungcolisa ingcwele yamandla, yaye uConstantine waqalisa loo msebenzi ngokuchonga eso sixeko ngokwefilosofi njengesixeko esisezantsi kuneConstantinople, yaye ukususela ngelo xesha ukuya phambili, imfazwe yaloo mbali eyayiqhutywa ziintshaba zaseRoma yayisoloko ijolise ekuhlaseleni isiXeko saseRoma, yaye ngonyaka ka-476, akuzange kuphinde kubekho inzala yokwenene yamaRoma elawula esixekweni, kwada kwangunyaka ka-538, xa eso sixeko saba yingcwele yamandla yeRoma yopopu.

Ahab, Clovis, and France typify the United States, and the United States’ sanctuary of strength is the Constitution of the United States. That document is a divine document, and it is a waymark of prophetic history. Since Ronald Reagan stood up for the papacy in the history leading up to 1989, the Constitution has been under a constant escalating attack, as was the sanctuary of strength in the demise and fall of pagan Rome. When the soon coming Sunday law in the United States is enforced, the Constitution will be fully overthrown. From the time of Reagan until that Sunday law, the history from the year 330 to 538 is repeated. In the year 538, the papacy was placed upon the throne, thus typifying the healing of its deadly wound at that Sunday law.

UAhabhi, uClovis, neFransi zimela iUnited States, yaye ingcwele yamandla yeUnited States nguMgaqo-siseko weUnited States. Loo xwebhu luxwebhu olungcwele, yaye luyimphawu yembali yesiprofeto. Ukusukela oko uRonald Reagan wema exhasa upopu kwimbali ekhokelela ku-1989, uMgaqo-siseko ebephantsi kohlaselo oluqhubekayo nolwandayo, njengoko kwakunjalo ngengcwele yamandla ekuphelisweni nasekuweni kweRoma yobuhedeni. Xa umthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala eUnited States unyanzeliswa, uMgaqo-siseko uya kubhukuqwa ngokupheleleyo. Ukususela kwixesha likaReagan kude kube kuloo mthetho weCawa, imbali ukusuka kunyaka wama-330 ukuya kowama-538 iyaphindwa. Ngonyaka wama-538, upopu wabekwa etroneni, ngaloo ndlela emela ukuphiliswa kwenxeba lawo elibulalayo kuloo mthetho weCawa.

The period from Ronald Reagan to the Sunday law is a prophetic period that is specifically identified by God’s prophetic Word. The “arms,” represented by Clovis were also to take away “the daily,” from the formerly pagan kingdom of the Roman Empire. The religion of the empire had been pagan from the very outset, and Clovis began the work of replacing the religion of open paganism with the religion of Catholicism, which is simply cloaked paganism.

Ixesha elisusela kuRonald Reagan lisiya emthethweni weCawa lixesha lesiprofeto elichongwe ngokukhethekileyo liLizwi lesiprofeto likaThixo. “Iingalo,” ezimelwe nguClovis, zazinokuwususa kanjalo “umnikelo wemihla ngemihla,” ebukumkanini boBukhosi baseRoma obabukade bubuhedeni. Inkolo yobukumkani yayibubuhedeni kwasekuqaleni kwabo, yaye uClovis waqalisa umsebenzi wokutshintsha inkolo yobuhedeni obuvulekileyo ayibeke endaweni yayo inkolo yobuKatolika, obulubuhedeni nje obugqunyiweyo.

The United States fully removes the religion of Protestantism when it enforces the mark of papal authority at the soon coming Sunday law, for the only definition of the word “Protestant,” is to protest Rome. If you accept the mark of Rome’s authority, you are not protesting Rome. In Amos chapter three, verse three, Amos asks the rhetorical question: “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”

I-United States iyayisusa ngokupheleleyo inkolo yobuProtestanti xa inyanzelisa uphawu lwegunya lobupapa kumthetho weCawa oza kusungulwa kungekudala, kuba ekuphela kwentsingiselo yegama elithi “umProtestanti,” kukuchasa iRoma. Ukuba uyayamkela uphawu lwegunya leRoma, awuyichasi iRoma. KuAmos isahluko sesithathu, ivesi yesithathu, uAmos ubuza umbuzo ongadingi mpendulo: “Bangahamba na ababini kunye, bengavani na?”

> “In the movements now in progress in the United States to secure for the institutions and usages of the church the support of the state, Protestants are following in the steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door for the Papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World.” The Great Controversy, 573.

> “Kwiintshukumo eziqhubekayo ngoku eUnited States zokufuna ukuba amaziko nezithethe zebandla zixhaswe ngurhulumente, amaProtestanti alandela emkhondweni wabalandeli bobupapa. Ngaphezu koko, avulela ubuPopu umnyango wokuba buphinde bufumane eMelika yamaProtestanti ubukhosi obuphezulu obabulahlekelwe yiwo kwiLizwe eliDala.” The Great Controversy, 573.

When the religion of paganism was taken away as the official religion of the realm in the year 508, it typified that the restraint, represented by Paul in Second Thessalonians chapter two had been taken away in advance of the revealing of the man of sin at the soon coming Sunday law in the United States. The subjection of the openly pagan religion, transitioning to the hidden pagan religion of Catholicism did not happen instantly, and it is marked in history as beginning with Clovis’ conversion to Catholicism in the year 496, and fully accomplished by the year 508.

Xa unqulo lobuhedeni lwasuswayo njengonqulo olusemthethweni lobukumkani ngonyaka ka-508, lwaba ngumfuziselo wokuba eso sithintelo, esimelwe nguPawulos kweyesiBini kwabaseTesalonika isahluko sesibini, sasuswa kwangaphambili phambi kokutyhilwa komntu wesono kumthetho weCawa osondelayo eUnited States. Ukuthotyelwa konqulo olwalububuheni ngokuvulekileyo, lusuka luguqukela kunqulo lobuhedeni olufihlakeleyo lobuKatolika, akwenzekanga ngoko nangoko, yaye kwaphawulwa embalini njengokuqalisa ngokuguqukela kukaClovis kubuKatolika ngonyaka ka-496, kwaza kwagqitywa ngokupheleleyo ngonyaka ka-508.

Thus, from the Reagan years, beginning in 1989, until the soon coming Sunday law, genuine Protestantism will be fully restrained in the United States. At that time the Constitution, the “sanctuary of strength” for the United States, will be overturned, and the fourth work of the “arms” of verse thirty-one will be accomplished, as the “arms” then place the papacy upon the throne of the earth, as was the case in the year 538.

Ngoko ke, ukususela kwiminyaka kaReagan, kuqalwa ngo-1989, kude kube ngumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala, ubuProtestanti bokwenyaniso buya kuthintelwa ngokupheleleyo eUnited States. Ngelo xesha uMgaqo-siseko, “ingcwele yamandla” yeUnited States, uya kubhangiswa, yaye umsebenzi wesine “weengalo” wevesi yamashumi amathathu ananye uya kuzalisekiswa, njengoko “iingalo” ngoko ziya kubeka upopu etroneni yomhlaba, njengoko kwakunjalo ngonyaka wama-538.

Once the papacy took the throne in the year 538, the narrative in Daniel switches from describing how the papacy captured the world, to the subject of how the papacy persecuted God’s people in that history. In verse fourteen, of chapter ten of Daniel, Gabriel had informed Daniel that the purpose of the vision he was about to present was to demonstrate “what would befall God’s people in the latter days.”

Nje ukuba ubupopu buthathe itrone ngonyaka wama-538, ibali elikuDaniyeli liyatshintsha lisuke ekuchazeni indlela ubupopu obawuthimba ngayo umhlaba, liye kumbandela wendlela ubupopu obabatshutshisa ngayo abantu bakaThixo kuloo mbali. Kwivesi yeshumi elinesine yesahluko seshumi sikaDaniyeli, uGabriyeli wayemxelele uDaniyeli ukuba injongo yombono awayesele eza kuwunikezela yayikukubonisa “oko kuya kubahlela abantu bakaThixo ngemihla yokugqibela.”

> Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. Daniel 10:14.

> Ngoku ndize kukwenza uqonde okuya kuhlehlela abantu bakowenu ekupheleni kwemihla; kuba umbono usezizayo iintsuku ezininzi. Daniyeli 10:14.

Verse thirty-two through to verse thirty-six are the verses that Sister White directly say will be repeated, and those verses describe the persecution of the twelve hundred and sixty year rule of the papacy from the time it was placed on the throne in the year 538, until it received its deadly wound in 1798.

Iivesi zamashumi amathathu anesibini ukuya kwelamashumi amathathu anesithandathu zezona ndinyana uDade White athe ngqo ziya kuphindwa, yaye ezo ndinyana zichaza intshutshiso yolawulo lobupapa lweminyaka eliwaka namakhulu amabini anamashumi amathandathu, ukususela kwixesha olwabekwa ngalo etroneni ngonyaka wama-538, kwada kwaba xa lwafumana inxeba lalo elibulalayo ngo-1798.

> And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Daniel 11:32–36.

> Ke abo abenza ngokungendawo nxamnye nomnqophiso uya kubonakalisa ngobuqhophololo obunokukholisa; kodwa abantu abamaziyo uThixo wabo baya kuba namandla, benze izinto ezinkulu. Ke abo banokuqonda phakathi kwabantu baya kufundisa abaninzi; kanti ke baya kuwa ngekrele, nangomlilo, nangokuthinjwa, nangokuphangwa, iintsuku ezininzi. Ke kaloku xa besiwa, baya kuncedwa ngoncedo oluncinane; kodwa abaninzi baya kunamathela kubo ngobuqhophololo obunokukholisa. Ke abathile kubo abanokuqonda baya kuwa, ukuze bavavanywe, bacocwe, benziwe mhlophe, kuse kwixesha lesiphelo; ngokuba kusengokwexesha elimisiweyo. Ke ukumkani uya kwenza ngokwentando yakhe; aya kuzikhulisa, azenze mkhulu ngaphezu koothixo bonke, athethe izinto ezimangalisayo nxamnye noThixo woothixo, aphumelele kude kube kufezekile ukucaphuka; ngokuba oko kumisiweyo kuya kwenziwa. Daniyeli 11:32–36.

The verses describe the persecution of the Dark Ages, and verse thirty-six then identifies that the papacy would prosper until God’s first indignation against the northern kingdom of Israel was accomplished in 1798. Daniel first identified how the papacy was placed upon the throne of the earth, then how the papacy interacted with God’s people, and then the final fall of the papacy. Verse forty through forty-three of Daniel eleven, identifies how the papacy takes control of the world, then verse forty-four identifies how she persecutes God’s latter-day people, and then verse forty-five identifies how she comes to her final end, with none to help.

Ezi ndinyana zichaza intshutshiso yamaXesha Obumnyama, yaye indinyana yamashumi amathathu anesithandathu ize ichaze ukuba ubupopu babuya kuphumelela de ingqumbo yokuqala kaThixo nxamnye nobukumkani basemantla bakwaSirayeli izaliseke ngowe-1798. UDaniyeli waqala ngokuchaza indlela ubupopu obabekwa ngayo etroneni yomhlaba, emva koko indlela ubupopu obabusebenzisana ngayo nabantu bakaThixo, kwaze emva koko ukuwa kokugqibela kobupopu. Indinyana yamashumi amane ukuya kweyamashumi amane anesithathu kaDaniyeli ishumi elinanye ichaza indlela ubupopu obuthabatha ngayo ulawulo lwehlabathi, ize indinyana yamashumi amane anesine ichaze indlela abantshutshisa ngayo abantu bakaThixo bemihla yokugqibela, kwaze indinyana yamashumi amane anesihlanu ichaze indlela afikelela ngayo ekupheleni kwakhe kokugqibela, kungekho namnye wokumnceda.

The Hebrew word “truth,” was created by the Wonderful Linguist by bringing the first, thirteenth and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet together to create the word “truth.” Thirteen is a symbol of rebellion, and the first represents the last.

Igama lesiHebhere elithi “inyaniso” ladalwa nguMchazi-Magama oMangalisayo ngokudibanisa unobumba wokuqala, oweshumi elinesithathu, nowokugqibela bealfabhethi yesiHebhere ukuze kwakhiwe igama elithi “inyaniso.” Ishumi elinesithathu lingumfuziselo wemvukelo, yaye owokuqala umele owokugqibela.

Verse thirty-one describes the end of pagan Rome as the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and verse thirty-six identified the end of papal Rome as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Between the first description of the fall of Rome and the last description of the fall of Rome is the rebellion, represented by the papacy murdering millions of God’s people in the history between the beginning and ending. The application of these verses bears the signature of “truth.”

Ivesi yamashumi amathathu ananye ichaza isiphelo seRoma yobuhedeni njengobukumkani besine besiprofeto seBhayibhile, yaye ivesi yamashumi amathathu anesithandathu yachaza isiphelo seRoma yobupopu njengobukumkani besihlanu besiprofeto seBhayibhile. Phakathi kwenkcazo yokuqala yokuwa kweRoma nenkcazo yokugqibela yokuwa kweRoma kukho imvukelo, emelwe bubupopu obabulala izigidi ngezigidi zabantu bakaThixo kwimbali ephakathi kwesiqalo nesiphelo. Ukusetyenziswa kwezi vesi kuthwele umqondiso “wenyaniso.”

Verse forty to forty-five, which is illustrated by verses thirty to thirty-six, begins with the fall of the papacy, and it ends with the fall of the papacy. In the middle of the history beginning in 1798, through the close of probation is the rebellion of Modern Rome, once again murdering God’s people. The application of these verses also bear the signature of “truth,” and they align with one another to provide two witnesses which establish the “truth,” and both lines are describing Rome, which is the symbol that will “establish the vision”.

Ivesi zamashumi amane ukuya kumashumi amane anesihlanu, ezicaciswa ziivesi zamashumi amathathu ukuya kumashumi amathathu anesithandathu, ziqala ngokuwa kobupopu, zize ziphele ngokuwa kobupopu. Embindini wale mbali iqala ngowe-1798, ide ifike ekuvalweni kwexesha lovavanyo, kukho imvukelo yeRoma yangoku, ephinda kwakhona ibulale abantu bakaThixo. Ukusetyenziswa kwezi vesi nako kuthwala uphawu “lwenyaniso,” yaye ziyangqinelana ukuze zinike amangqina amabini amisela “inyaniso,” yaye yomibini le migca ichaza iRoma, engumfuziselo oya “kumisela umbono”.

> And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. Daniel 11:14.

> Kwaye ngaloo maxesha abaninzi baya kusukuma bachasane nokumkani wasemzantsi; kwanabaphangi babantu bakowenu baya kuzinyusa ukuze bamise umbono; kodwa baya kuwa. Daniyeli 11:14.

The prophetic phenomenon that Daniel employs in chapter eleven, is used more than in just verses thirty to thirty-six, and then in forty to forty-five. Verses fourteen through nineteen, identify how pagan Rome took control of the world, then verses twenty to twenty-four identify how pagan Rome dealt with God’s people, and from verse twenty-four to verse thirty the fall of pagan Rome is set forth.

Isiganeko sobuprofeti esisetyenziswa nguDaniyeli kwisahluko seshumi elinanye, asisetyenziswa kuphela kwiindinyana zamashumi amathathu ukuya kumashumi amathathu anesithandathu, size ke kwakhona kumashumi amane ukuya kumashumi amane anesihlanu. Iindinyana zeshumi elinesine ukuya kweshumi elinesithoba zichaza indlela iRoma yobuhedeni eyalawula ngayo ihlabathi, emva koko iindinyana zamashumi amabini ukuya kumashumi amabini anesine zichaza indlela iRoma yobuhedeni eyasebenzelana ngayo nabantu bakaThixo, yaye ukusuka kwindinyana yamashumi amabini anesine ukuya kwindinyana yamashumi amathathu kubekwe ukuwa kweRoma yobuhedeni.

Verse fourteen is the beginning of pagan Rome and verse thirty is the end of pagan Rome. In the history represented in the middle, pagan Rome is identified as crucifying Christ, thus the rebellion of the middle identifies these verses as “truth.” Alpha and Omega placed His signature all the way through chapter eleven, of the book of Daniel.

Ivesi yeshumi elinesine sisiqalo seRoma yobuhedeni, yaye ivesi yamashumi amathathu sisiphelo seRoma yobuhedeni. Kwimbali emelwe embindini, iRoma yobuhedeni ichongiwe njengaleyo yabethelela uKristu emnqamlezweni; ngaloo ndlela uvukelo olusembindini luchonga ezi vesi njenge “nyaniso.” UAlfa no-Omega ubeke utyikityo lwaKhe kuyo yonke isahluko seshumi elinanye sencwadi kaDaniyeli.

Verse forty contains the history which begins in the Ronald Reagan years, and which identifies the alliance made between the President of the United States and the man of sin. It marks a specific period that concludes with the papacy being placed upon the throne of the earth, as it had been in the year 538. It is not a coincidence that Clovis, king of the Franks, which is modern day France, is the symbol of the United States. Clovis typified Reagan. Reagan was a symbol of Protestantism, as was Clovis a symbol of paganism.

Ivesi yamashumi mane iqulethe imbali eqala ngeminyaka kaRonald Reagan, yaye echonga umanyano olwenziwa phakathi koMongameli waseUnited States nomntu wesono. Iphawula ixesha elithile eligqitywa kukubekwa kobupopu etroneni yomhlaba, njengoko kwakunjalo ngonyaka ka-538. Asikokungqamana nje ukuba uClovis, ukumkani wamaFranks, abangamaFransi bale mihla, engumqondiso weUnited States. UClovis wayengumfuziselo kaReagan. UReagan wayengumqondiso wobuProtestanti, njengoko noClovis wayengumqondiso wobuhedeni.

The battle in which Clovis, King of the Franks, converted to Catholicism was the Battle of Tolbiac (also known as the Battle of Zülpich or the Battle of Cologne). This battle took place in the year 496. Clovis was a pagan at the time, but during the battle, when it seemed that his forces were in danger of defeat, he prayed to the Christian God of his Catholic wife for help and made a vow that if he emerged victorious, he would convert to Christianity. Clovis did win the battle, and as a result, he and a significant portion of his Frankish warriors converted to Catholicism, marking a significant event in the Christianization of the Franks.

Imfazwe apho uClovis, uKumkani wamaFranks, waguqukela kubuKatolika, yayiyiMfazwe yaseTolbiac (ekwabizwa ngokuba yiMfazwe yaseZülpich okanye yiMfazwe yaseCologne). Le mfazwe yenzeka ngonyaka wama-496. UClovis wayengumhedeni ngelo xesha, kodwa ke ngexesha lemfazwe, xa kwakubonakala ukuba imikhosi yakhe isengozini yokoyiswa, wathandaza kuThixo wamaKristu wonkosikazi wakhe ongumKatolika ecela uncedo, waza wenza isibhambathiso sokuba, ukuba wayeza kuphuma enoloyiso, wayeza kuguqukela ebuKristwini. UClovis wayiphumelela ngenene loo mfazwe, yaye ngenxa yoko yena nenxalenye ebalulekileyo yamajoni akhe angamaFranks baguqukela kubuKatolika, nto leyo eyaphawula isiganeko esibalulekileyo ekuguqukeni kwamaFranks kubuKristu.

Ronald Reagan, a professed Protestant, identified that his motivation for forming a secret alliance with the pope of Rome, was that he was convicted that the Soviet Union was the antichrist of Bible prophecy. In Reagan’s battle against the former Soviet Union, without recognizing his confusion about who the antichrist is, he joined with the antichrist.

URonald Reagan, owayezibiza ngokuba ngumProtestanti, waqonda ukuba intshukumisa yakhe yokuseka umanyano oluyimfihlo nopopu waseRoma yayikukuba wayeqinisekile ukuba iSoviet Union yayinguantikristu wesiprofeto seBhayibhile. Kumzabalazo kaReagan nxamnye neSoviet Union yangaphambili, engaluqondanga udideko lwakhe malunga nokuba ngubani na uantikristu, wazimanya noantikristu.

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

> “Abo badidekayo ekuqondeni kwabo ilizwi, abangakwaziyo ukubona intsingiselo yomchasi-Kristu, ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuzibeka kwicala lomchasi-Kristu.” Kress Collection, 105.

The United States is a twofold prophetic symbol, as represented by the two horns of the earth beast. France is also a twofold prophetic symbol, as represented by Sodom and Egypt in Revelation chapter eleven. France is the firstborn child of the papacy, and Reagan, representing the United States was the first of the ten kings of Revelation chapter seventeen in the last days to commit fornication with the whore of Tyre, who had been forgotten since 1798. She was forgotten at the time of the end in 1798, but begins to be remembered at the time of the end in 1989.

IUnited States ngumqondiso wesiprofeto oneenkalo ezimbini, njengoko umelwe ziimpondo ezimbini zerhamncwa lomhlaba. IFransi nayo ingumqondiso wesiprofeto oneenkalo ezimbini, njengoko imelwe yiSodom neYiputa kwiSityhilelo isahluko seshumi elinanye. IFransi ngumntwana wamazibulo wobupopu, yaye uReagan, emele iUnited States, wayengowokuqala kookumkani abalishumi beSityhilelo isahluko seshumi elinesixhenxe ngemihla yokugqibela ukwenza uhenyuzo nehenyukazi laseTire, elalilityelwe ukususela ngowe-1798. Lalilityelwe ngexesha lokuphela ngowe-1798, kodwa liqala ukukhunjulwa ngexesha lokuphela ngowe-1989.

Clovis, the leader of France, marked the beginning of a period of time which led to the papacy being placed upon the throne in 538, where the papacy then passed a Sunday law at the Council of Orleans. Reagan, leader of the United States marked the beginning of a period of time which is leading to the papacy once again being placed upon the throne of the earth at the soon coming Sunday law.

UClovis, inkokeli yaseFransi, waphawula ukuqala kwexesha elakhokelela ekubeni upopu abekwe etroneni ngowama-538, apho ke upopu waza wamisela umthetho weCawa ngeCawa kwiBhunga lase-Orléans. UReagan, inkokeli yaseUnited States, waphawula ukuqala kwexesha elikhokelela ekubeni upopu aphinde abekwe kwakhona etroneni yomhlaba ngomthetho weCawa ngeCawa ozayo kungekudala.

France is the twofold power that placed the papacy in 538, and France, through Napoleon’s General Berthier, took the papacy off the throne in 1798. The United States places the papacy on the throne in the last days, and as the premier king of the ten kings, the United States will ultimately “make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”

IFransi ligunya elinamacala mabini elabeka upopu esihlalweni sobukhosi ngo-538, yaye iFransi, ngoJenerali kaNapoleon uBerthier, yamkhupha upopu esihlalweni sobukhosi ngo-1798. I-United States ibeka upopu esihlalweni sobukhosi ngemihla yokugqibela, yaye njengokumkani oyintloko kookumkani abalishumi, i-United States ekugqibeleni iya “kumshiya eyinkangala ehamba ze, idle inyama yakhe, imtshise ngomlilo.”

Verse forty contains the history of verse thirty-one, and identifies that the work of placing the papacy back upon the throne of the earth is represented by the period of time beginning with Ronald Reagan, and ending with the final president of the United States. That final president will have been typified by Reagan, for Jesus always illustrates the end with the beginning.

Ivesi yamashumi mane iqulethe imbali yevesi yamashumi amathathu ananye, yaye ibonakalisa ukuba umsebenzi wokubuyisela ubupopu etroneni yomhlaba umelwe lixesha eliqala ngoRonald Reagan, lize liphele ngomongameli wokugqibela wase-United States. Loo mongameli wokugqibela uya kube eboniswe kwangaphambili nguReagan, kuba uYesu usoloko ebonakalisa isiphelo ngesiqalo.

In the first verses in Daniel eleven, that prophetic history is set forth (verse two), we find the history that preceded the history of the kingdom of Greece. Greece is a symbol of the United Nations, and the one-world government of the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. Verse three in Daniel eleven, introduces Alexander the Great, and verse two, represents the history that precedes the one-world government in the last days.

Kwiindinyana zokuqala kuDaniyeli ishumi elinanye, loo mbali yesiprofeto ibekwe phambili (indinyana yesibini), sifumana imbali eyandulela imbali yobukumkani bamaGrike. IGrisi luphawu lweZizwe eziManyeneyo, norhulumente wehlabathi omnye weekumkani ezilishumi zeSityhilelo ishumi elinesixhenxe. Indinyana yesithathu kuDaniyeli ishumi elinanye yazisa uAleksandire Omkhulu, yaye indinyana yesibini imele imbali eyandulela urhulumente wehlabathi omnye wemihla yokugqibela.

In verse one, Gabriel simply identifies that he had strengthened Darius at the beginning of the kingdom of the Medes and Persians, but Gabriel had come to Daniel in chapter ten, when Cyrus the Persian, not Darius the Mede was then ruling. After clearly tying the kingdom together as a prophetic twofold kingdom of the Medes and Persians (as is France and the United States), Gabriel then introduces the history that precedes the worldwide kingdom of Alexander the Great.

Kwivesi yokuqala, uGabriyeli ubonisa nje ukuba wayemqinisile uDariyo ekuqaleni kobukumkani bamaMede namaPersi, kodwa uGabriyeli wayeze kuDaniyeli kwisahluko seshumi, ngexesha uKoreshi umPersi, hayi uDariyo umMede, wayelawula ngelo xesha. Emva kokudibanisa ngokucacileyo obo bukumkani njengobukumkani obuphindwe kabini bokuprofeta bamaMede namaPersi (njengokuba kunjalo ngeFransi neUnited States), uGabriyeli ke wazisa imbali eyandulela ubukumkani behlabathi liphela buka-Aleksandire Omkhulu.

> And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. Daniel 11:2.

> Ke kaloku ndiya kukubonisa inyaniso. Yabona, kuseza kuphakama ookumkani abathathu ePersi; ize owesine abe sisityebi kakhulu kunabo bonke; yaye ngamandla akhe, ngobutyebi bakhe, uya kuvusa bonke bachase ubukumkani baseGrisi. Daniyeli 11:2.

Alpha and Omega always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing, and verse two speaks to the history that precedes the enforcement of the one-world government, as represented by Alexander the Great’s kingdom of Greece. Verse two, is a line of prophecy concerning the United States, which, as the two-horned power of the last days as typified by the twofold power of the Medes and Persians, and by France. The verse identifies kings that would typify presidents of the United States in the last days, who would stand up in advance of the threefold one-world government of the dragon, the beast and false prophet. Clovis paralleled Reagan as the first president in the beginning of the history that leads to placing antichrist back on the throne.

U-Alfa no-Omega usoloko ubonakalisa isiphelo sento, kunye nesiqalo sento, yaye indima yesibini ithetha ngembali eyandulela ukumiselwa korhulumente wehlabathi olunye, njengoko umelwe bubukumkani baseGrisi buka-Alesandire Omkhulu. Indima yesibini ngumgca wesiprofeto ongokwe-United States, ethi, njengamandla eempondo ezimbini emihleni yokugqibela njengoko efuziselwe ngamandla amabini amaMedi namaPersi, kwanangeFransi. Le ndima ichaza ookumkani ababeya kuba luhlobo olufuziselayo lwabongameli base-United States emihleni yokugqibela, ababeza kuvela ngaphambi korhulumente wehlabathi olunye onamacala amathathu wenamba, werhamncwa nowomprofeti wobuxoki. UClovis wayelingana noReagan njengomongameli wokuqala ekuqaleni kwembali ekhokelela ekubuyiseleni umchasi-Kristu etroneni.

From the time of Cyrus, in Daniel eleven, there would be three presidents followed by a fourth, who was far richer than they all were. Darius was the first king of the Medo-Persian Empire, and Cyrus, who was ruling when Daniel received the history from Gabriel was the second king. Four kings would follow Cyrus, so the fourth of the following kings would be the sixth king.

Ukususela kwixesha likaKoreshi, kuDaniyeli ishumi elinanye, kwakuya kubakho abalawuli abathathu belandelwa ngowesine, owayesisityebi kakhulu kunabo bonke. UDariyo wayengukumkani wokuqala woBukhosi bamaMede namaPersi, yaye uKoreshi, owayelawula ngexesha uDaniyeli awafumana ngalo loo mbali kuGabriyeli, wayengukumkani wesibini. Kwakuya kulandela uKoreshi ookumkani abane, ngoko ukumkani wesine kwabo balandelayo wayeya kuba ngukumkani wesithandathu.

The sixth king would be the richest king, and the rich president (king) would stir up all against the realm of Greece. The presidents since Reagan, were Bush the first, Clinton, Bush the second, Obama; so the sixth, and richest, king would be Trump. That king (president) would “stir up” the realm of Greece (globalists). The definition of the Hebrew phrase “stir up,” is quite informative.

Ukumkani wesithandathu wayeya kuba ngukumkani osisityebi kunabo bonke, yaye umongameli osisityebi (ukumkani) wayeya kuvusa bonke ukuba balwe nobukumkani baseGrisi. Oomongameli ukususela kuReagan baba nguBush wokuqala, uClinton, uBush wesibini, uObama; ngoko ke ukumkani wesithandathu, noyena usisityebi, wayeya kuba nguTrump. Loo kumkani (umongameli) wayeya “kuvusa” ubukumkani baseGrisi (ii-globalists). Ingcaciso yebinzana lesiHebhere elithi “kuvusa,” iyacacisa kakhulu.

The Hebrew word translated as “stir up,” in the verse, is a primitive root meaning “to awaken”, or “wake up”. In the history typified by the fourth ruler after Cyrus, a president far richer than any other president would be raised up and through his strength and power an “awakening” would be brought about against Greece. Greece being a symbol of globalism, progressivism and “woke-ism,” would be brought into the spotlight of the history of the sixth, richest president. He would awaken the entire realm of planet earth to the controversy of progressive “woke-ism” and global domination.

Igama lesiHebhere eliguqulelwe ngokuthi “vuselela,” kule ndinyana, liyingcambu yantlandlolo ethetha “ukuvusa”, okanye “ukuphaphamisa”. Kwimbali efuziselwe ngumlawuli wesine emva koKoreshi, umongameli osisityebi kakhulu kunabo bonke abanye oomongameli wayeya kuvuswa, yaye ngobugorha namandla akhe kwakuyakuziswa “ukuvuka” nxamnye neGrisi. IGrisi, njengomfuziselo wehlabathi-bonke, wenkqubela-phambili, ne-“woke-ism,” yayiya kuziswa embindini wokuqwalaselwa kwembali yomongameli wesithandathu, osisityebi kakhulu. Wayeya kuvusa wonke ummandla womhlaba uphela kwingxwabangxwaba ye-“woke-ism” yenkqubela-phambili nolawulo lwehlabathi lonke.

The awakening to the movement of progressive “woke-ism,” that is brought about in the presidency of the richest president, occurs with the Republican horn, at the very time that the awakening of the ten virgins occurs in the Protestant horn.

Ukuvuka kwentshukumo ye “woke-ism” eqhubela phambili, eziswa bubongameli bomongameli osisityebi kunabo bonke, kwenzeka ngophondo lwamaRiphabhlikhi, kanye ngelo xesha lokuba kuvuke iintombi ezilishumi eluphondweni lwamaProtestanti.

We will continue our study of Daniel eleven verse forty in the next article.

Siza kuqhubeka nesifundo sethu sikaDaniyeli ishumi elinanye ivesi lamashumi amane kwinqaku elilandelayo.

> “Notwithstanding the widespread declension of faith and piety, there are true followers of Christ in these churches. Before the final visitation of God’s judgments upon the earth there will be among the people of the Lord such a revival of primitive godliness as has not been witnessed since apostolic times. The Spirit and power of God will be poured out upon His children. At that time many will separate themselves from those churches in which the love of this world has supplanted love for God and His word. Many, both of ministers and people, will gladly accept those great truths which God has caused to be proclaimed at this time to prepare a people for the Lord’s second coming. The enemy of souls desires to hinder this work; and before the time for such a movement shall come, he will endeavor to prevent it by introducing a counterfeit. In those churches which he can bring under his deceptive power he will make it appear that God’s special blessing is poured out; there will be manifest what is thought to be great religious interest. Multitudes will exult that God is working marvelously for them, when the work is that of another spirit. Under a religious guise, Satan will seek to extend his influence over the Christian world.” The Great Controversy, 464.

> “Nangona kukho ukwehla okubanzi kokholo nobungcwele, bakho abalandeli bokwenyaniso bakaKristu kula mabandla. Phambi kotyelelo lokugqibela lwezigwebo zikaThixo phezu kwehlabathi kuya kubakho phakathi kwabantu beNkosi imvuselelo enjalo yobuthixo bokuqala engazange ibonwe ukususela kumaxesha abapostile. UMoya namandla kaThixo aya kuthululwa phezu kwabantwana baKhe. Ngelo xesha abaninzi baya kuzahlula kula mabandla apho uthando lweli hlabathi luthabathele indawo yothando lukaThixo nelweLizwi laKhe. Abaninzi, bobabini abalungiseleli nabantu, baya kwamkela ngovuyo ezo nyaniso zinkulu uThixo abangele ukuba zivakaliswe ngeli xesha ukuze alungiselele abantu ukuza kwesibini kweNkosi. Utshaba lwemiphefumlo lunqwenela ukuthintela lo msebenzi; yaye phambi kokuba kufike ixesha lentshukumo enjalo, luya kuzama ukuyithintela ngokungenisa into eyenkohliso. Kula mabandla anokuwafaka phantsi kwamandla alo enkohliso, luya kwenza kubonakale ngathi intsikelelo ekhethekileyo kaThixo ithululwe; kuya kubonakala oko kucingwa njengomdla omkhulu kwezonqulo. Izihlwele ziya kugcoba zisithi uThixo usebenza ngokumangalisayo ngenxa yazo, kanti umsebenzi lowo ngowomnye umoya. Phantsi kwesigqubuthelo senkolo, uSathana uya kufuna ukwandisa impembelelo yakhe phezu kwehlabathi lobuKristu.” Imbambano Enkulu, 464.
