The Battle of Panium was essentially spiritual warfare. Just before the Sunday law the eighth president, who is the sixth since Ronald Reagan at the time of the end in 1989, who is also the last Republican president, and who is the richest president, and who also stirs up all the realm of globalism, will lead apostate Protestantism in defeating the Greek religion of Pan, which is the “woke-ism” of globalism. In verses eleven and twelve, the history that begins at the Ukraine War in 2014 concludes at the Sunday law in verse sixteen. Verse fifteen is the Battle of Panium, and the Battle of Panium leads to the battle of Actium, which is the third World War.

At the hour of “the great earthquake”, which is the Sunday law of verse sixteen, Islam of the third woe attacks the United States, angering the nations, and producing national ruin. It is the Battle of Panium that precedes that attack. At the Sunday law the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet is established.

Ní àkókò “ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀-ilẹ̀ ńlá náà”, èyí tí í ṣe òfin Ọjọ́ Àìkú ti ẹsẹ̀ kẹrìndínlógún, Íslámù ti ègbẹ́ kẹta kọlu Orílẹ̀-Èdè Amẹ́ríkà, ó mú kí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè bínú, ó sì fa ìparun orílẹ̀-èdè náà.

> “By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

> “Nípasẹ̀ àṣẹ tí yóò fi mú ìdásílẹ̀ Ìjọ Pápá ṣiṣẹ́, ní ìtakò sí òfin Ọlọ́run, orílẹ̀-èdè wa yóò ya ara rẹ̀ kúrò ní òdodo pátápátá.

At that point, the papacy’s deadly wound is fully healed, and she rules supremely until she finally comes to her end with none to help. It is when Rome conquers the third obstacle that she rules, as represented by pagan Rome in Daniel chapter eight, verse nine, and in chapter eleven, verses sixteen through nineteen. When papal Rome removed the three horns, she ruled supremely for twelve hundred and sixty years, as did pagan Rome rule supremely for three hundred and sixty years once it conquered Egypt, the third obstacle at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

In grammar, the suffix “ium” is added to the end of a word to form a noun that denotes a place, a state, or a collection of something. It is commonly used in the formation of technical and scientific terms, particularly in chemistry and biology. For example: “stadium” refers to a place for athletic competitions or other events, “aquarium” refers to a place where aquatic organisms or plants are kept for display and “gymnasium” refers to a place for physical exercise or training. In scientific terminology, “ium” is often used to indicate a chemical element or compound, particularly when the element or compound has been isolated or discovered. For example: “sodium” refers to a chemical element with the symbol Na, “calcium” refers to a chemical element with the symbol Ca.

The beginning of pagan Rome ruling supremely was accomplished at the Battle of Actium, and the Battle of Panium opened the door to the war represented by Actium, for “line upon line” Actium represents the Sunday law when the papacy again rules the world supremely.

Actium was a sea battle, and Panium was a ground battle, thus the connection of the two battles represents a battle that is worldwide encompassing land and sea. Actium, the most famous sea battle of ancient history, also represents a worldwide war, for the “waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” Panium represents a spiritual war that is combined with a political war at the soon coming Sunday law.

The word “pan” as a noun, has multiple meanings depending on the context, but in Greek mythology, Pan is the god of shepherds, flocks, rustic music, and wilderness. He is often depicted as a half-man, half-goat figure, known for his love of music and nature.

Ọ̀rọ̀ náà “pan” gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ, ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìtumọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àyíká ọ̀rọ̀ ṣe rí, ṣùgbọ́n nínú ìtàn àròsọ Gíríìkì, Pan ni ọlọ́run àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn, orin ìgbèríko, àti aginjù.

> “As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour’s advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. Revelation 1:13–15.” The Great Controversy, 624.

> “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe ìparí tí ń fi adé dé eré ńlá ìtanjẹ náà, Satani fúnra rẹ̀ yóò ṣe bí ẹni pé òun ni Kristi. Ìjọ ti pẹ́ ti ń jẹ́wọ́ pé òun ń retí dídé Olùgbàlà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìmúṣẹ́ pípé àwọn ìrètí rẹ̀.

Ìfihàn 1:13–15.” The Great Controversy, 624.

Pan is the shepherd-god, and will personate the true Shepherd. Satan’s impersonation of Christ begins at the Sunday law for at “the decree” “we may” then “know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near”.

Pan ni ọlọrun-àgùntàn, yóò sì ṣe àfarawé Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn tòótọ́. Ìfarawé Kristi ti Satani máa bẹ̀rẹ̀ nígbà òfin ọjọ́ Àìkú nítorí pé ní “àṣẹ náà” “àwa lè” nígbà náà “mọ̀ pé àkókò fún iṣẹ́ àgbàyanu Satani ti dé, àti pé òpin ti sún mọ́lé.”

The word “pan” can also refer to a shallow, wide-rimmed cooking vessel used for frying, baking, or cooking food. The final war is centered upon spiritual Jerusalem, the holy mountain that is lifted up as an ensign, and the mountain that God’s other flock that are still in Babylon flee unto. At that time all nations will come against spiritual Jerusalem, which is identified as a “cup” (pan).

> The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Zechariah 12:1-3.

Sekaria 12:1-3.

Jerusalem is also the caldron, for it is the pan where the drama is carried out. A “caldron” is a cooking pan.

Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú ni àjà, nítorí pé òun ni àpẹ̀ ìdáná níbi tí eré náà ti ń ṣẹlẹ̀. “Àjà” jẹ́ ìkòkò ìdáná.

> Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city: Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them. Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it. Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God. And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel: And ye shall know that I am the Lord: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you. Ezekiel 11:2–12.

In English, “pan” as a prefix means “universal,” “all” or “across”. For example, “panorama” refers to a wide or comprehensive view of an area, “pantheism” refers to the belief that the universe is divine, and “Pan-American” refers to something involving all the countries of the Americas. Thus “pan” identifies a worldwide war.

The so-called Christian world is a theater of great actions, or acts, and every nation (pan) will be involved. The word “act” can also refer to a division or segment of a play, movie, or other performance, typically characterized by a particular set of events or actions. The word “act” as a verb, means to perform a specific action or behave in a certain way. It can also refer to pretending or playing a role, as in acting in a play or film.

> “The world is a theater. The actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to his rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.

Panium and Actium represent the third World War. In that war there will be supernatural manifestations as represented by the Greek goat-god Pan. The war will be associated with the enforcement of the Sunday law as an “act.” And the war is identified as “the last scenes in the great drama”, for it is not only the legal act of enforcing Sunday legislation, it is also the climax of the gospel drama in the closing hours of human probation. In advance of the battle where Panium and Actium prophetically join, in verse sixteen of Daniel chapter eleven, God’s last-day army will already be raised up, and their banner, which is an ensign, will then be lifted up. The primary meaning of “ensign” is the banner of an army.

Act and Pan are Actium and Panium, and the Wonderful Linguist controlled the geography, the names, and the history of both battles, for it is the history immediately before the soon coming Sunday law. The Battle of Panium took place in 200 BC, and verse sixteen identifies Rome conquering Jerusalem in 63 BC.

Between the history in the last days that is represented by the period from 200 BC to 63 BC, the formation of the image of the beast in the United States will be accomplished, as represented by the history of 161 BC to 158 BC. Before the period where the final movements of erecting an image of the beast in the United States, there will be an event represented by the revolt of Modein in 167 BC. The revolt is typified by the revolt against the forced religion of Greece, and the revolt will lead to a waymark represented by the rededication of the temple in 164 BC.

164 BC is commemorated by Judaism because of the miracle of a day’s worth of holy oil lasting for eight days. Thus 164 BC, which precedes 161 BC, identifies a satanic miracle that was accomplished for the apostate people of God. The miracle is represented as one day producing eight days, and that first day’s oil was what supplied the entire eight days. The miracle was brought upon the one part that was of the seven, and this waymark is set within the very history where the enigma of the eighth that is of the seven is being accomplished upon both the apostate Republican horn and the apostate Protestant horn.

The manifestation of satanic miracles before the soon coming Sunday law is associated with the Greek god Pan. When the Battle of Panium is waged and won by Trump and apostate Protestantism, “Pandora’s box” will have been opened, and there will be no way to solve the problems that are then released upon mankind for, “a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.”

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are those that have been sealed by the sanctifying power of God’s Word which was provided through the unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. That Revelation includes several specific lines of truth, and it provides sanctified instruction of who Jesus is. As the Word of God, He is the Wonderful Linguist who has controlled all human language, since through His power He brought about the various languages when He rained down confusion at the tower of Babel. He is the Wonderful Numberer that has hidden secrets with the numbers set forth in His Word, and within His entire creation. He is the controller of history, for history is “His”-story. He created the earth and He controlled the geographical form of planet earth after the Flood, and therefore the various prophetic geographies that make up the “truths” found in His Word. The one hundred and forty-four thousand represent among other things, those who manifest faith that He created all things.

The story of Pandora’s box is a myth from ancient Greek mythology. It is primarily recounted in “Works and Days” by the Greek poet Hesiod and in various other classical sources. It is obviously a paraphrase of the experience of Eve in the Garden of Eden. The name “Pandora” comes from ancient Greek mythology. It is derived from the Greek words’ “pan” meaning “all,” “dora’ meaning “gifts.” Pandora means “all-gifted.” Eve is the symbol of the church, and all gifts are found within God’s church.

In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first mortal woman created by the gods. According to the myth, she was crafted by Hephaestus at the command of Zeus, the king of the gods, as part of a plan to punish humanity. Each of the gods contributed gifts to Pandora, including beauty, grace, intelligence, and charm. Zeus gave her a jar (in later retellings, it became a box) and instructed her never to open it under any circumstances. Eve was told she could eat of every tree except of “the tree in the midst of the Garden.”

Nínú ìtàn-àròsọ Giriki, Pandora ni obìnrin ẹlẹ́ran àkọ́kọ́ tí àwọn òrìṣà dá. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìtàn-àròsọ náà ṣe sọ, Hephaestus ni ó mọ̀ ọ́ nípasẹ̀ àṣẹ Zeus, ọba àwọn òrìṣà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí apá kan nínú ète kan láti jẹ ènìyàn níyà.

A sọ fún Éfà pé ó lè jẹ nínú gbogbo igi àfi “igi tí ó wà ní àárín Ọgbà náà.”

Pandora, overcome by curiosity, eventually succumbed to temptation and opened the jar. Upon doing so, all the evils, pains, and diseases that had previously been kept inside were released into the world, spreading suffering and misery among humanity. However, one thing remained in the jar: hope. In some versions of the myth, Pandora quickly closed the jar, preventing hope from escaping, while in others, hope also emerged, providing humanity with a glimmer of optimism and resilience in the face of adversity.

The Battle of Panium joins the Battle of Actium at the soon coming Sunday law, and the soon coming Sunday law was typified by the test in the Garden of Eden. In the garden the test was simply for Adam and Eve, but in the last days the test needed to confront all mankind around the entire world. The first test of believing or disbelieving God’s Word in the garden typifies the last test of the Sunday law. Eve failed that first test and opened the floodgates of woe upon mankind, as represented in the myth of Pandora.

> “The world is a theater; the actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. With the great masses of mankind, there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to His rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.

The wickedness of the inhabitants of the world has almost filled up the measure of their iniquity. This earth has almost reached the place where God will permit the destroyer to work his will upon it. The substitution of the laws of men for the law of God, the exaltation, by merely human authority, of Sunday in place of the Bible Sabbath, is the last act in the drama. When this substitution becomes universal, God will reveal Himself. He will arise in His majesty to shake terribly the earth. He will come out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the world for their iniquity, and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Men are jostling one against another, contending for the highest place. Pleasure lovers are still crowding to theaters, horse races, gambling hells. The highest excitement prevails, yet probation’s hour is fast closing, and every case is about to be eternally decided. Satan sees that his time is short. He has set all his agencies at work that men may be deceived, deluded, occupied, and entranced until the day of probation shall be ended, and the door of mercy forever shut.

> “In this time of prevailing iniquity we may know that the last great crisis is at hand. When the defiance of God’s law is almost universal, when His people are oppressed and afflicted by their fellow men, the Lord will interpose.

> “Ní àkókò yìí tí àìṣòdodo ti gbilẹ̀, a lè mọ̀ pé ìpọnjú ńlá ìkẹyìn ti sún mọ́ etílé. Nígbà tí ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí òfin Ọlọ́run bá fẹ́rẹ̀ẹ́ di ti gbogbo ènìyàn, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn Rẹ̀ bá ń jìyà ìnúnibíni, tí wọ́n sì ń fara da ìpọ́njú láti ọwọ́ àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ ènìyàn wọn, Olúwa yóò dá sí i.”

> “We are standing upon the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. Strange, eventful history is being recorded in the books of heaven. Everything in our world is in agitation. There are wars, and rumors of wars. The nations are angry, and the time of the dead has come, that they should be judged. Events are changing to bring about the day of God which hasteth greatly. Only a moment of time, as it were, yet remains. But while already nation is rising against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, there is not now a general engagement. As yet the four winds are held until the servants of God shall be sealed in their foreheads. Then the powers of earth will marshal their forces for the last great battle.” Christian Service, 50, 51.
