The collapse of the Democratic party in the United States is a specific subject of biblical prophecy. It is one of the prophetic characteristics associated with the eighth and last president of the United States. It is associated with the prophetic dynamics of making the eighth president, who is of the seven, the head of the image of the beast. The image of the beast in the world is twofold, yet threefold. It is twofold in that it represents a combination of Church and State, but its threefold, for it is made up of ten kings (statecraft), that is directed by the premier king (churchcraft). That beast is ridden upon and reigned over by one head, that is the eighth head, that is of the seven.

Ukuwa kweQela leDemokhrasi eUnited States sisihloko esithile sesiprofeto seBhayibhile. Sisesinye seempawu zesiprofeto ezinxulunyaniswa nomongameli wesibhozo nowokugqibela waseUnited States. Sinxulunyaniswa neentshukumo zesiprofeto zokwenza umongameli wesibhozo, ongowabasixhenxe, abe yintloko yomfanekiso werhamncwa. Umfanekiso werhamncwa ehlabathini unamacala amabini, kanti kwangaxeshanye unamacala amathathu. Unamacala amabini kuba umele indibaniselwano yeCawa noRhulumente, kodwa unamacala amathathu, kuba wenziwe ngookumkani abalishumi (ulawulo lombuso), abakhokelwa ngukumkani oyintloko (ulawulo lwecawa). Elo rhamncwa likhwelwe phezu kwalo lize lilawulwe yintloko enye, eyona yintloko yesibhozo, engowabasixhenxe.

The image of the beast in the United States is twofold, yet threefold. It is twofold in that it represents a combination of church and state, but its threefold, for it is made up with an apostate Republican horn (statecraft), that is directed by an apostate Protestant horn (churchcraft). That beast is ridden upon and reigned over by one head, that is the eighth head, which is of the seven.

Umfanekiso werhamncwa e-United States unamacala amabini, kanti ngaxeshanye unamacala amathathu. Unamacala amabini ngokuba umele umdibaniselwano webandla norhulumente, kodwa unamacala amathathu ngokuba wenziwe ngophondo olulahlekileyo lweRiphabhlikhi (ubugcisa borhulumente), olukhokelelwa luphondo olulahlekileyo lwamaProtestanti (ubugcisa bebandla). Elo rhamncwa likhwelwe phezu kwalo yaye lilawulwa yintloko enye, eyintloko yesibhozo, ephuma kwezisixhenxe.

The head, in either case, is a full-blown dictator. The environment where his dictatorship is clearly illustrated is the line of the history when the earth beast speaks as a dragon, for “speaking” is the primary characteristic of the earth beast. It spoke in 1776, 1789, 1798, 1863, 2001, 2021 and it is about to speak again when the image is fully formed at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Intloko, nokuba kukweyiphi na imeko, inguzwilakhe opheleleyo. Indawo apho uzwilakhe bakhe bubonakaliswa ngokucacileyo ngumgca wembali xa irhamncwa lomhlaba lithetha njengenamba, kuba “ukuthetha” luphawu oluphambili lwerhamncwa lomhlaba. Lathetha ngo-1776, 1789, 1798, 1863, 2001, 2021 yaye sele liza kuthetha kwakhona xa umfanekiso sele uyilwe ngokupheleleyo kumthetho weCawa oza kungekudala.

In the days of Paul, the mystery of iniquity, which was the papal power, was already at work, but it was being restrained by the dragon of pagan Rome. In 1798 and 1799, the dragon removed the man of sin from power, but in 1989, the pope of Rome defeated the dragon of the Soviet Union. The entire prophetic history, all the way to the end, portrays the papacy as in a warfare with the dragon. The pope of Rome is the despot who is to be lifted up as the head of the evil confederacy of the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet in the last days. Sister White said “under one head, the papal power,” and the Psalmist also identifies the ten kings lifting up the eighth head, that is of the seven.

Ngemihla kaPawulos, imfihlelo yobugwenxa, eyayiligunya lobupopu, yayisele isebenza, kodwa yayithintelwa yinamba yaseRoma yobuhedeni. Ngo-1798 nango-1799, inamba yamkhupha emandleni umntu wesono, kodwa ngo-1989, upopu waseRoma wayoyisa inamba yeSoviet Union. Yonke imbali yesiprofeto, kuse kude kuse ekupheleni, ibonisa ubupopu busemfazweni nenamba. Upopu waseRoma nguzwilakhe omelwe kukuphakanyiswa njengentloko yomfelandawonye wobubi womanyano oluphindwe kathathu lwenamba, irhamncwa, nomprofeti wobuxoki ngemihla yokugqibela. USisi White wathi “phantsi kwentloko enye, igunya lobupopu,” yaye noMbhali weNdumiso ukwachaza ookumkani abalishumi bephakamisa intloko yesibhozo, eyeyezisixhenxe.

> For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. Psalms 83:2–4.

> Kuba, khangela, iintshaba zakho zenza isiphithiphithi; nabo bakuthiyayo baphakamisile intloko. Bacebe iqhinga ngabantu bakho, baza babonisana ngabo bafihlakeleyo bakho. Bathi, Yizani, sibanqumle, bangabi sisizwe; ukuze igama likaSirayeli lingabi sakhunjulwa. IiNdumiso 83:2–4.

When the United States forms an image of the beast, it will be threefold in nature, and also twofold. It will be a twofold combination of churchcraft and statecraft, but that political system will be reigned over by one head. The eighth president will reign over and ride the image of the beast. The eighth president, who is of the seven previous presidents, is the last president of “the sixth” kingdom of Bible prophecy, and he received his deadly wound as “the sixth” president.

Xa iUnited States isakha umfanekiselo werhamncwa, uya kuba nemilo ephindwe kathathu ngokwendalo, kananjalo ube kabini. Uya kuba yindibaniselwano ephindwe kabini yobuqhetseba becawa nobuqhetseba borhulumente, kodwa loo nkqubo yezopolitiko iya kulawulwa yintloko enye. Umongameli wesibhozo uya kulawula aze akhwele umfanekiselo werhamncwa. Umongameli wesibhozo, ongowabo basixhenxe oomongameli bangaphambili, ngumongameli wokugqibela wobukumkani “besithandathu” besiprofeto seBhayibhile, yaye wafumana inxeba lakhe elibulalayo njengomongameli “wesithandathu”.

The prophetic man of sin has been in a war with the dragon for his entire history. Donald Trump is the rich king that stirred up the dragon of globalism, and he has been in a political, social and philosophical war with the dragon powers ever since he first announced his intent to run for president on June 16, 2015, at the Trump Tower in New York City, the very city where the Twin Towers came down on September 11, 2001, and the city where the Freedom Tower, that replaced the Twin Towers was dedicated on November 3, 2014.

Umntu wesono osisiprofeto ubelikwiMfazwe nenamba kuyo yonke imbali yakhe. UDonald Trump ngukumkani osisityebi owavusa inamba yobuzwe behlabathi, yaye ukususela oko waqala wabhengeza injongo yakhe yokungenela ugqatso lobumongameli ngomhla we-16 kuJuni 2015, eTrump Tower kwisiXeko saseNew York, kwesi kanye isixeko apho iiTwin Towers zawayo ngomhla we-11 kuSeptemba 2001, nasesixekweni apho iFreedom Tower, eyathatha indawo yeeTwin Towers, yanikezelwa ngomhla we-3 kuNovemba 2014, ebe semfazweni yezopolitiko, yezentlalo neyezefilosofi namandla enamba.

At the soon coming Sunday law, the marriage between Christ and the one hundred and forty-four thousand is consummated, and the fornication between the whore of Rome and the kings of the earth is consummated in a counterfeit marriage. At that Sunday law the twins from the garden of Eden are both lifted up, and also simultaneously attacked by a counterfeit. Those twin institutions are marriage and the seventh-day Sabbath.

Kumthetho weCawa oza kufika kungekudala, umtshato phakathi kukaKristu nabaliwaka elikhulu elinamakhulu alikhulu anamashumi amane anesine ugqityezelwa, yaye nobuhenyu phakathi kwehenyukazi laseRoma nookumkani bomhlaba bugqityezelwa kumtshato womgunyathi. Kulo mthetho weCawa loo maziko mabini angamawele avela emyezweni wase-Eden ayaphakanyiswa omabini, yaye kwangaxeshanye ahlaselwa ngumgunyathi. Loo maziko angamawele ngumtshato neSabatha yomhla wesixhenxe.

> “When the Pharisees afterward questioned Him concerning the lawfulness of divorce, Jesus pointed His hearers back to the marriage institution as ordained at creation. ‘Because of the hardness of your hearts,’ He said, Moses ‘suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.’ Matthew 19:8. He referred them to the blessed days of Eden, when God pronounced all things ‘very good.’ Then marriage and the Sabbath had their origin, twin institutions for the glory of God in the benefit of humanity. Then, as the Creator joined the hands of the holy pair in wedlock, saying, A man shall ‘leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one’ (Genesis 2:24), He enunciated the law of marriage for all the children of Adam to the close of time. That which the Eternal Father Himself had pronounced good was the law of highest blessing and development for man.” Thoughts From the Mount of Blessings, 63.

> “Emva koko, xa abaFarisi bembuza ngasemva kwaKhe ngokusemthethweni koqhawulo-mtshato, uYesu wabuyisela abo babemphulaphule kwiziko lomtshato njengoko lamiselwa ekudalweni. Wathi, ‘Ngenxa yobulukhuni beentliziyo zenu,’ uMoses ‘wanivumela ukuba nibalahle abafazi benu; kodwa kwakungenjalo ekuqalekeni.’ Mateyu 19:8. Wabakhomba kwimihla esikelelekileyo yase-Eden, xa uThixo wavakalisa ukuba zonke izinto ‘zilunge kakhulu.’ Ngoko umtshato neSabatha zaba nemvelaphi yazo, zingamaziko amabini angamawele, enzelwe uzuko lukaThixo nenzuzo yoluntu. Ngoko ke, njengoko uMdali wadibanisa izandla zeso sibini singcwele emtshatweni, esithi, Indoda iya ‘kumshiya uyise nonina, inamathele kumfazi wayo; baze abo babini babe nyama-nye’ (Genesis 2:24), wavakalisa umthetho womtshato kubo bonke abantwana baka-Adam kude kube sekupheleni kwexesha. Oko uYise onguNaphakade ngokwaKhe awayekubize ngokuba kulungile, kwakungumthetho wentsikelelo ephezulu nophuhliso lomntu.” Thoughts From the Mount of Blessings, 63.

The threefold union where apostate Protestantism, spiritualism and Catholicism join hands at the Sunday law is a counterfeit of the marriage in Eden where “the Creator joined the hands of the holy pair in wedlock.” At the Sunday law the twin institutions of Marriage and the Sabbath, are lifted up, and simultaneously desecrated. The history of the sealing began when the Twin Towers came down, and that history ends when the twin institutions of Marriage and the Sabbath are lifted up. In the midst of that history the Freedom Tower was dedicated in 2014, and Trump’s stirring up of globalism began at the Trump Tower in 2015.

Umanyano oluphindwe kathathu apho ubuProtestanti obuwileyo, imimoya, nobuKatolika badibanisa izandla emthethweni weCawa, bungumgunyathi womtshato wase-Eden apho “uMdali wahlanganisa izandla zeso sibini singcwele emtshatweni.” Emthethweni weCawa amaziko amabini angamawele oMtshato neSabatha ayaphakanyiswa, yaye kwangaxeshanye ayangcoliswa. Imbali yokutywinwa yaqala xa iiTwin Towers zawa, yaye loo mbali iphela xa amaziko amabini angamawele oMtshato neSabatha ephakanyiswa. Embindini waloo mbali iFreedom Tower yanikezelwa ngowama-2014, yaye ukuvuselela kukaTrump ubumbano lwehlabathi kwaqala eTrump Tower ngowama-2015.

The Twin Towers were brought down as a rebuke of the globalists’ love of money, and the Freedom Tower is a representation of Nimrod’s rebellion against the God of Heaven and the judgment He had brought with the flood, just as the Freedom Tower is a symbol against God’s judgment of September 11, 2001.

Iinqaba Ezimbini zehliswa njengesohlwayo sokukhalimela ukuthanda imali kwabaxhasi bolawulo lwehlabathi, yaye iNqaba yeNkululeko iyimbonakaliso yokuvukela kukaNimrodi kuThixo wezulu nakumgwebo awawuzisayo ngonogumbe, kanye njengokuba iNqaba yeNkululeko iluphawu oluchasene nomgwebo kaThixo kaSeptemba 11, 2001.

> “On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were erected to glorify their owners and builders. Higher and still higher these buildings rose, and in them the most costly material was used. Those to whom these buildings belonged were not asking themselves: ‘How can we best glorify God?’ The Lord was not in their thoughts.

> “Ngaxa lithile, ndakuba ndiseSixekweni saseNew York, ngexesha lasebusuku ndabizwa ukuba ndibone izakhiwo zinyuka umgangatho phezu komgangatho zisiya ngasezulwini. Ezi zakhiwo zazithembiswa ukuba azinakutsha ngumlilo, yaye zazakhiwe ukuze kuzukiswe abanini bazo nabazakha. Zaqhubeka zinyuka, ziphakama ngakumbi nangakumbi ezi zakhiwo, yaye kuzo kwasetyenziswa ezona zinto zibiza kakhulu. Abo zazizezabo ezi zakhiwo babengazibuzi bathi: ‘Sinokumzukisa njani na uThixo ngcono?’ INkosi yayingekho ezingcingweni zabo.

> “I thought: ‘Oh, that those who are thus investing their means could see their course as God sees it! They are piling up magnificent buildings, but how foolish in the sight of the Ruler of the universe is their planning and devising. They are not studying with all the powers of heart and mind how they may glorify God. They have lost sight of this, the first duty of man.’

> Ndacinga ndathi: “Akwaba abo batyala iindlela zabo ngolu hlobo benokuyibona indlela yabo njengoko uThixo eyibona! Bafumba izakhiwo ezinkulu nezibukekayo, kodwa hayi indlela obubudenge ngayo emehlweni oMlawuli wendalo iphela ubucwangciso babo nokuqulunqa kwabo. Abafundi ngamandla onke entliziyo nengqondo indlela abanokumzukisa ngayo uThixo. Bayilibele le nto, eyona mbopheleleko yokuqala yomntu.”

> “As these lofty buildings went up, the owners rejoiced with ambitious pride that they had money to use in gratifying self and provoking the envy of their neighbors. Much of the money that they thus invested had been obtained through exaction, through grinding down the poor. They forgot that in heaven an account of every business transaction is kept; every unjust deal, every fraudulent act, is there recorded. The time is coming when in their fraud and insolence men will reach a point that the Lord will not permit them to pass, and they will learn that there is a limit to the forbearance of Jehovah.” Testimonies, volume 9, 12.

> “Njengoko ezi zakhiwo ziphakamileyo zazakhiwa, abanini bazo babenemincili ngokuqhayisa okunamabhongo kuba babenemali yokuyisebenzisa ekwaneliseni isiqu sabo nasekuvuseleleni umona kubamelwane babo. Inxalenye enkulu yemali ababeyityale ngolo hlobo yayifunyenwe ngokucinezela, ngokuxovula amahlwempu. Balibala ukuba ezulwini kugcinwa ingxelo yentengiselwano nganye yoshishino; yonke into eyenziweyo ngokungabi nabulungisa, sonke isenzo sobuqhophololo, sibhalwe khona. Kuyeza ixesha apho ngobuqhophololo babo nangokuzidla kwabo abantu baya kufikelela kwinqanaba iNkosi engayi kubavumela ukuba balidlule, yaye baya kufunda ukuba kukho umda ekunyamezeleni kukaYehova.” Testimonies, volume 9, 12.

The rebellion represented by Nimrod’s tower was against God’s recent judgment of the Flood, and it typified the rebellion of the globalist bankers against the recent judgment of God. Freedom as defined in the globalist dictionary is quite contrary to biblical freedom. Freedom in the dictionary of the dragon is licentiousness, symbolized by the immorality of the French Revolution.

Uvukelo olwalumelwe yinqaba kaNimrod lwaluchasene nomgwebo kaThixo wakutshanje woMkhukula, yaye lwangumfuziselo wovukelo lwababhanki beeglobhalisti oluchasene nomgwebo kaThixo wakutshanje. Inkululeko, njengoko ichazwa kwisichazi-magama seeglobhalisti, ichasene kakhulu nenkululeko yeBhayibhile. Inkululeko kwisichazi-magama sedragoni buburheletya, obumelwe kukuziphatha okubi kweNguquko yaseFransi.

> “‘The great city’ in whose streets the witnesses are slain, and where their dead bodies lie, is ‘spiritually’ Egypt. Of all nations presented in Bible history, Egypt most boldly denied the existence of the living God and resisted His commands. No monarch ever ventured upon more open and highhanded rebellion against the authority of Heaven than did the king of Egypt. When the message was brought him by Moses, in the name of the Lord, Pharaoh proudly answered: ‘Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto His voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.’ Exodus 5:2, A.R.V. This is atheism, and the nation represented by Egypt would give voice to a similar denial of the claims of the living God and would manifest a like spirit of unbelief and defiance. ‘The great city’ is also compared, ‘spiritually,’ to Sodom. The corruption of Sodom in breaking the law of God was especially manifested in licentiousness. And this sin was also to be a pre-eminent characteristic of the nation that should fulfill the specifications of this scripture.

> “‘Isixeko esikhulu’ ezitalatweni zaso amangqina abulawelwa kuso, nalapho izidumbu zawo zilele khona, ‘ngokomoya’ yiYiputa. Kuzo zonke iintlanga ezivezwa kwimbali yeBhayibhile, iYiputa yiyo eyakhanyelayo ngokukhalipha okukhulu ubukho bukaThixo ophilayo yaza yaxhathisa imiyalelo yaKhe. Akukho kumkani wakha wazama uvukelo olucace ngakumbi nolunesibindi obukhulu ngokuchasene negunya laseZulwini kunalolo lwenziwa ngukumkani waseYiputa. Xa umyalezo waziswa kuye nguMoses, egameni leNkosi, uFaro waphendula ngokuqhayisa wathi: ‘Ngubani uYehova, ukuba ndiliphulaphule ilizwi lakhe ukuze ndiyeke amaSirayeli ahambe? Andimazi uYehova, yaye andisayi kuwakhulula amaSirayeli.’ Eksodus 5:2, A.R.V. Oku kukungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo, yaye uhlanga olumelwe yiYiputa lwalunokuvakalisa ukukhanyela okufanayo kwamabango kaThixo ophilayo luze lubonakalalise umoya ofanayo wokungakholwa nowokudelela. ‘Isixeko esikhulu’ sikwafaniswa, ‘ngokomoya,’ neSodom. Ukonakala kweSodom ekwaphuleni umthetho kaThixo kwabonakaliswa ngokukodwa kukuziphatha kakubi ngokwesini. Kwaye esi sono sasikwamele ukuba sisimo esiphambili ngokukodwa sohlanga olo lwalufanele ukuzalisekisa iinkcukacha zesi sibhalo.”

> “According to the words of the prophet, then, a little before the year 1798 some power of satanic origin and character would rise to make war upon the Bible. And in the land where the testimony of God’s two witnesses should thus be silenced, there would be manifest the atheism of the Pharaoh and the licentiousness of Sodom.

> “Ngoko ke, ngokwamazwi omprofeti, kamsinyane phambi komnyaka ka-1798, amandla athile anemvelaphi nesimilo sikaSathana ayeza kuvuka ukuze alwe neBhayibhile. Kwaye ezweni apho ubungqina bamangqina amabini kaThixo babeya kuthi ngolo hlobo buthuliswe, kwakuya kubonakaliswa ukungakholelwa kuThixo kukaFaro noburheletya baseSodom.

> “This prophecy has received a most exact and striking fulfillment in the history of France. During the Revolution, in 1793, ‘the world for the first time heard an assembly of men, born and educated in civilization, and assuming the right to govern one of the finest of the European nations, uplift their united voice to deny the most solemn truth which man’s soul receives, and renounce unanimously the belief and worship of a Deity.’—Sir Walter Scott, Life of Napoleon, vol. 1, ch. 17. . ..

> “Esi siprofeto sifumene ukuzaliseka okuchaneke kakhulu nokubeth’ umdla kwimbali yaseFransi. Ngexesha loQhushululu, ngowe-1793, ‘ihlabathi okokuqala lava indibano yamadoda, azalelwe aza afundiswa ngaphakathi kwempucuko, yaye ezithathela ilungelo lokulawula esinye sezona zizwe zibalaseleyo zaseYurophu, ephakamisa ilizwi layo limanyene ukukhanyela eyona nyaniso ingcwele eyamkelwa ngumphefumlo womntu, yaza ngazwi linye yarhoxa elukholweni nasekunquleni uThixo.’—Sir Walter Scott, Life of Napoleon, vol. 1, ch. 17....

> “France presented also the characteristics which especially distinguished Sodom. During the Revolution there was manifest a state of moral debasement and corruption similar to that which brought destruction upon the cities of the plain. And the historian presents together the atheism and the licentiousness of France, as given in the prophecy: ‘Intimately connected with these laws affecting religion, was that which reduced the union of marriage—the most sacred engagement which human beings can form, and the permanence of which leads most strongly to the consolidation of society—to the state of a mere civil contract of a transitory character, which any two persons might engage in and cast loose at pleasure…. If fiends had set themselves to work to discover a mode of most effectually destroying whatever is venerable, graceful, or permanent in domestic life, and of obtaining at the same time an assurance that the mischief which it was their object to create should be perpetuated from one generation to another, they could not have invented a more effectual plan that the degradation of marriage…. Sophie Arnoult, an actress famous for the witty things she said, described the republican marriage as ‘the sacrament of adultery.’”—Scott, vol. 1, ch. 17.” The Great Controversy, 269, 270.

> “IFransi nayo yabonakalisa ezo mpawu zazahlula ngokukhethekileyo iSodom. Ngexesha loVukelo kwabonakala imeko yokuthotywa kokuziphatha nokonakala efana naleyo yazisa intshabalalo phezu kwezixeko zethafa. Kwaye umbhali-mbali uveza kunye ukungakholelwa kuThixo nokuziphatha kakubi kweFransi, njengoko kunikiwe esiprofetweni: ‘Ngokusondeleleneyo nale mithetho ichaphazela inkolo, kwakukho nalowo wawuthoba umanyano lomtshato—ololona zibophelelo zingcwele ezinokwenziwa ngabantu, noluhlala ixesha elide kwalo olukhokelela ngamandla amakhulu ekomelezeni uluntu—walubeka kwimeko yesivumelwano nje soluntu esinesimo sexeshana, ekunokuthi abantu ababini nabaphi na bangene kuso baze basiqhawule ngokuthanda kwabo…. Ukuba iidemon bezizibekele umsebenzi wokufumana indlela eya kutshabalalisa ngempumelelo enkulu konke oko kuhloniphekileyo, okuhle, okanye okuhlala kuzinzile kubomi basekhaya, kwanokufumana ngaxeshanye isiqinisekiso sokuba ububi ababenenjongo yokubudala buya kuqhubekekiswa ukusuka kwesinye isizukulwana kuye kwesinye, bezingenakuyila icebo elisebenza ngakumbi kunokuthotywa komtshato…. USophie Arnoult, umdlali weqonga owayedume ngezinto zobukrelekrele awayezithetha, wachaza umtshato weriphabliki ‘njengesakramente sokukrexeza.’”—Scott, vol. 1, isahl. 17.” Imbambano Enkulu, 269, 270.

The Freedom Tower in New York City that was dedicated in 2014, represents not only the rebellion of Nimrod’s tower, but it is also the symbol of the globalists definition of freedom, as manifested in the promotion of the licentious LGBTQ+ movement, that represents rebellion against God’s law. True freedom is just the opposite of what that tower represents, but a classic work of deception employed by the followers of the dragon, is to redefine words and phrases to produce incorrect conclusions. The dragon is the classic attorney, and he is the word-smith that twists language to produce wicked outcomes. But the true meaning of the word “freedom”, is not the freedom that is represented by the anarchy of Antifa, or the licentiousness symbolized by the revolution in France.

iFreedom Tower eSixekweni saseNew York, eyazinikelwa ngowama-2014, ayimeleli kuphela imvukelo yenqaba kaNimrod, kodwa ikwaluphawu lwenkcazo yenkululeko yama-globalists, njengoko ibonakaliswa ekukhuthazeni intshukumo ye-LGBTQ+ yokuziphatha gwenxa, emele imvukelo nxamnye nomthetho kaThixo. Inkululeko yokwenyaniso ichasene ngokupheleleyo noko imelwa yile nqaba, kodwa umsebenzi oqhelekileyo wenkohliso osetyenziswa ngabalandeli benamba kukuchaza ngokutsha amagama namabinzana ukuze kuveliswe izigqibo ezingachanekanga. Inamba ligqwetha eliqhelekileyo, yaye lingumkroli wamazwi ojika ulwimi ukuze kuveliswe iziphumo ezikhohlakeleyo. Kodwa intsingiselo yokwenyaniso yegama elithi “inkululeko” asiyiyo inkululeko emelwa sisiphithiphithi se-Antifa, okanye kukuziphatha gwenxa okufuziselwa luvukelo lwaseFransi.

> “Every soul that refuses to give himself to God is under the control of another power. He is not his own. He may talk of freedom, but he is in the most abject slavery. He is not allowed to see the beauty of truth, for his mind is under the control of Satan. While he flatters himself that he is following the dictates of his own judgment, he obeys the will of the prince of darkness. Christ came to break the shackles of sin-slavery from the soul. ‘If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.’ ‘The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus’ sets us ‘free from the law of sin and death.’ Romans 8:2.

> “Wonke umphefumlo owalayo ukuzinikela kuThixo uphantsi kolawulo lwamanye amandla. Akangowakhe. Unokuthetha ngenkululeko, kodwa usebukhobokeni obona buthotyiweyo. Akavumelekanga ukuba abone ubuhle benyaniso, kuba ingqondo yakhe iphantsi kolawulo lukaSathana. Ngoxa ezikholisa ngelithi ulandela izikhokelo zomgwebo wakhe, uthobela ukuthanda kwenkosana yobumnyama. UKristu weza kuqhawula amatyathanga obukhoboka besono emiphefumlweni. ‘Ukuba ke ngoko uNyana unokunikhulula, niya kukhululeka ngokwenene.’ ‘Umthetho woMoya wobomi okuKristu Yesu’ usimisa ‘sikhululekile emthethweni wesono nowokufa.’ Roma 8:2.

> “In the work of redemption there is no compulsion. No external force is employed. Under the influence of the Spirit of God, man is left free to choose whom he will serve. In the change that takes place when the soul surrenders to Christ, there is the highest sense of freedom. The expulsion of sin is the act of the soul itself. True, we have no power to free ourselves from Satan’s control; but when we desire to be set free from sin, and in our great need cry out for a power out of and above ourselves, the powers of the soul are imbued with the divine energy of the Holy Spirit, and they obey the dictates of the will in fulfilling the will of God.” The Desire of Ages, 466.

> “Emsebenzini wenkululeko akukho kunyanzelwa. Akusetyenziswa mandla angaphandle. Phantsi kwempembelelo yoMoya kaThixo, umntu ushiywa ekhululekile ukuba akhethe lowo aya kumkhonza. Kwinguqu eyenzekayo xa umphefumlo uzinikezela kuKristu, kukho eyona ngqiqo iphezulu yenkululeko. Ukugxothwa kwesono sisenzo somphefumlo ngokwawo. Kuyinyaniso ukuba asinawo amandla okuzikhulula kulawulo lukaSathana; kodwa xa sinqwenela ukukhululwa esonweni, size ekusweleni kwethu okukhulu sikhale sifuna amandla aphuma ngaphandle kwethu nangaphezu kwethu, amandla omphefumlo agalelwa amandla obuthixo boMoya oyiNgcwele, aze athobele izikhokelo zentando ekuzalisekiseni ukuthanda kukaThixo.” The Desire of Ages, 466.

The freedom represented by the Freedom Tower, was the licentiousness of the French Revolution and the rebellion of Nimrod. The very next year at the Trump Tower, the richest president since 1989 announced his candidacy that would stir up the globalists. That same year gay marriage was approved at the federal level in the United States, as it had been in the revolution in France when they changed marriage into “a mere civil contract of a transitory character.”

Inkululeko emelwe yi-Freedom Tower, yayikukuziphatha gwenxa okungenazithintelo koVukelo lwaseFransi nokuvukela kukaNimrodi. Kwangonyaka olandelayo eTrump Tower, umongameli osisityebi kakhulu ukususela ngo-1989 wabhengeza ukungenela kwakhe unyulo, nto leyo eyayiza kuvusa ama-globalist. Kwangaloo nyaka umtshato wabantu besini esinye wavunywa kwinqanaba lomanyano eUnited States, njengoko kwakunjalo kuVukelo lwaseFransi xa baguqula umtshato bawenza “isivumelwano nje saseburhulumenteni esinesimo sexeshana esidlulayo.”

The war between the dragon, and the richest president was initiated. The destruction of the Twin Towers by the touch of God’s power marked the beginning of the sealing time and the arrival of the bottomless pit beast of Islam. At the dedication of the Freedom Towers in the midst of that prophetic history, the arrival of the bottomless pit beast of Atheism is marked. Now, the fall of the twin institutions of Sabbath and marriage, that were set in place in the Garden of Eden, mark the conclusion of the sealing time and the arrival of the third, Catholic beast from the bottomless pit.

Imfazwe phakathi kwenamba, nowayesakuba ngumongameli osisityebi kunabo bonke, yaqalwa. Ukutshatyalaliswa kweTwin Towers ngokuchukunyiswa ngamandla kaThixo kwaphawula ukuqala kwexesha lokutywina nokufika kwerhamncwa le-Islam elivela emhadini ongenasiphelo. Ekumiselweni kweFreedom Towers phakathi kwelo bali lesiprofeto, kufakwa uphawu lokufika kwerhamncwa lokungakholelwa kuThixo elivela emhadini ongenasiphelo. Ngoku, ukuwa kwamaziko amabini, iSabatha nomtshato, awamiselwa eMyezweni wase-Eden, kuphawula isiphelo sexesha lokutywina nokufika kwerhamncwa lesithathu, elingamaKatolika, elivela emhadini ongenasiphelo.

On November 3, 2020 Trump received a deadly political wound as the papacy received a deadly wound in 1798. The wound was delivered by literal France in 1798, and by spiritual France in 2020.

Ngomhla we-3 kuNovemba 2020 uTrump wafumana inxeba lezopolitiko elibulalayo, njengoko upopu wafumana inxeba elibulalayo ngowe-1798. Elo nxeba lanikelwa yiFransi yokoqobo ngowe-1798, yaye ngo-2020 lanikelwa yiFransi yomoya.

> And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:7, 8.

> Kwaye xa baya kuba beyigqibile ingqina yabo, irhamncwa elinyukayo liphuma enzonzobileni liya kulwa nabo, lize liboyise, libabulale. Nezidumbu zabo ziya kulala esitalatweni seso sixeko sikhulu, esithi ngokwasemoyeni sibizwe ngokuba yiSodom neYiputa, apho neNkosi yethu yabethelelwa emnqamlezweni. ISityhilelo 11:7, 8.

In The Great Controversy, Sister White identifies France as “the great city where our Lord was crucified”.

Kwi Imbambano Enkulu, uDade White uchaza iFransi “njengesixeko esikhulu apho iNkosi yethu yabethelelwa khona.”

> “According to the words of the prophet, then, a little before the year 1798 some power of satanic origin and character would rise to make war upon the Bible. And in the land where the testimony of God’s two witnesses should thus be silenced, there would be manifest the atheism of the Pharaoh and the licentiousness of Sodom.” The Great Controversy, 270.

> “Ngokwamazwi omprofeti ke ngoko, kancinane ngaphambi komnyaka ka-1798, kwakukho igunya elithile lemvelaphi nesimo sobuSathana elaliya kuvela ukuze lilwe neBhayibhile. Kwaye kwelo lizwe apho ubungqina bamangqina amabini kaThixo babeya kuthi ngolo hlobo buthuliswe, kwakubonakala ukungakholelwa kuThixo kukaFaro nokuziphatha kakubi kweSodom.” The Great Controversy, 270.

At the soon coming Sunday law in the United States the image of the beast will be fully formed, and those who have fully formed the image of Christ will be lifted up as God’s ensign. As an ensign they will uphold the seventh-day Sabbath, and represent Christ’s righteousness to the world. Christ’s righteousness is only accomplished by the combination of Divinity with humanity, and within this great truth, which is defined as a mystery, the institution of marriage is lifted up. The ensign represents the Sabbath and its twin institution of marriage.

Ngomthetho weCawa oza kusondela ngokukhawuleza eUnited States, umfanekiselo werhamncwa uya kube sele umiswe ngokupheleleyo, yaye abo baye bamisela ngokupheleleyo umfanekiselo kaKristu baya kuphakanyiswa njengomqondiso kaThixo. Njengomqondiso baya kuwuxhasa uMgqibelo wosuku lwesixhenxe, baze bamele ubulungisa bukaKristu ehlabathini. Ubulungisa bukaKristu buphunyezwa kuphela ngokudityaniswa kobuThixo nobuntu, yaye ngaphakathi kwale nyaniso inkulu, echazwa njengemfihlelo, iziko lomtshato liyaphakanyiswa. Umqondiso umele uMgqibelo neziko lawo elingamawele, umtshato.

> For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:23–32.

> Ngokuba indoda iyintloko yomfazi, kwanjengokuba noKristu eyintloko yebandla; yaye inguMsindisi womzimba. Ngoko ke, njengokuba ibandla lithobela uKristu, ngokunjalo abafazi mababathobele awabo amadoda ezintweni zonke. Madoda, thandani abafazi benu, kwanjengokuba noKristu walithanda ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo; ukuze alingcwalise, alihlambulule ngokulihlamba ngamanzi ngelizwi; ukuze alimise phambi kwakhe lilibandla elizukileyo, lingenasiphako, nongenxaki, okanye nantoni na enjalo; koko libe ngcwele, lingabi nasiphako. Ngokunjalo namadoda afanele ukubathanda abafazi bawo njengemizimba yawo. Othanda umfazi wakhe uzithanda yena. Kuba akukho mntu wakha wayithiya eyakhe inyama; koko uyayondla, ayigcine ngothando, kwanjengokuba neNkosi ilenjenjalo ibandla; kuba singamalungu omzimba wakhe, enyama yakhe, nawemathambo akhe. Ngenxa yoko indoda iya kumshiya uyise nonina, inamathele kumfazi wayo, baze abo babini babe nyama-nye. Le yimfihlelo enkulu; ke mna ndithetha ngoKristu nebandla. Efese 5:23–32.

The ensign is a symbol of the twin institutions of the Sabbath and Marriage, and the marriage represents the combination of Divinity with humanity. The mystery of that marriage represents His church, which is His temple.

Umqondiso ngumqondiso wamaziko amabini angamawele, iSabatha noMtshato, yaye umtshato umele ukudityaniswa kobuThixo nobuntu. Imfihlelo yaloo mtshato imele ibandla laKhe, eliyitempile yaKhe.

> “The tower was a symbol of the temple.” The Desire of Ages, 596.

> “Inqaba yayiluphawu lwetempile.” The Desire of Ages, 596.

At the beginning of the sealing time the Twin Towers came down, in the middle of the sealing time, two “towers” representing the process of separating two classes (for both horns), were identified, and at the end of the sealing time, the Twin Towers of God’s temple and Sabbath will be lifted up as an ensign to the Gentiles.

Ekuqaleni kwexesha lokutywina iiNqaba zamawele zawa; embindini wexesha lokutywina, “iinqaba” ezimbini, ezimele inkqubo yokwahlula iindidi ezimbini (kuzo zombini iimpondo), zachongwa; yaye ekupheleni kwexesha lokutywina, iiNqaba zamawele zetempile kaThixo neSabatha ziya kuphakanyiswa njengomqondiso kwiintlanga.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Siya kuqhubeka nesi sifundo kwinqaku elilandelayo.

> For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? Isaiah 2:12–22.

> Kuba imini kaYehova wemikhosi iya kuba phezu kwabo bonke abanekratshi nabaphakamileyo, naphezu kwabo bonke abaziphakamisayo; yaye baya kuthotywa: naphezu kwayo yonke imisedare yaseLebhanon, ephakamileyo nephakanyisiweyo, naphezu kwayo yonke imithi yemioki yaseBhashan, naphezu kwazo zonke iintaba eziphakamileyo, naphezu kwazo zonke iinduli eziphakanyisiweyo, naphezu kwayo yonke inqaba ende, naphezu kwalo lonke udonga oluqinisiweyo, naphezu kwazo zonke iinqanawa zaseTarshishe, naphezu kwayo yonke imifanekiso emihle. Ukuphakama komntu kuya kugotywa, nokuzidla kwabantu kuya kuthotywa; yaye uYehova yedwa uya kuphakanyiswa ngaloo mini. Nezithixo uya kuzitshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo. Baya kungena emingxunyeni yamawa, nasezintlangothini zomhlaba, ngenxa yokoyika uYehova, nangenxa yobuqaqawuli bobungangamsha bakhe, xa evuka ukuze anyikimise umhlaba ngokoyikekayo. Ngaloo mini umntu uya kulahla izithixo zakhe zesilivere nezithixo zakhe zegolide, abazenzela zona, elowo ukuze azinqule, aziphose kwiimpuku zasemhlabeni nakumalulwane; ukuze aye emfanteni yamawa aqhekekileyo, nasezimfanteni zamatye aqingqiweyo, ngenxa yokoyika uYehova, nangenxa yobuqaqawuli bobungangamsha bakhe, xa evuka ukuze anyikimise umhlaba ngokoyikekayo. Yekani umntu, ophefumlo wakhe usezimpumlweni zakhe; kuba unokubalelwa entweni yantoni na? Isaya 2:12–22.

> My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. Psalms 144:2.

> Ukulunga kwam, nenqaba yam; inqaba yam ephakamileyo, nomhlanguli wam; ikhaka lam, nalowo ndithembele kuye; olalisa abantu bam phantsi kwam. IiNdumiso 144:2.
