We are considering verse forty of Daniel eleven, and are addressing the prophetic line of verse forty, that is associated with the horn of Republicanism. We are basing the application upon the time of the end which arrived in 1989. That line represents the history of 1989 unto the soon-coming Sunday law, and is typified by the prophetic period from 508 to 538, when the papacy was first empowered and enforced a Sunday law at the Council of Orleans. It is also typified by the line from Christ’s birth unto His baptism.

Sicubungula ivesi lamashumi amane likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye, futhi sikhuluma ngomugqa wesiprofetho wevesi lamashumi amane, ohlobene nophondo lweRiphabhulikhi. Sisekela ukusetshenziswa kwalokhu esikhathini sokuphela esafika ngo-1989. Lowo mugqa umelela umlando osukela ku-1989 kuze kube ngumthetho weSonto osuzayo maduze, futhi ufanekiswa yisikhathi sesiprofetho esisukela ku-508 kuya ku-538, lapho ubupapa baqala khona ukunikwa amandla futhi baphoqelela umthetho weSonto eMkhandlwini wase-Orleans. Ubuye futhi ufanekiswe ngumugqa osukela ekuzalweni kukaKristu kuze kube ukubhapathizwa kwaKhe.

We are also adding to those lines the line of prophetic history found in verse two of Daniel eleven. There we find that the sixth president of the United States after the time of the end in 1989 is Donald Trump, who according to the verse “stirs up” (awakens), all the realm of Grecia (globalism), in the election of 2016.

Siphinde sengeza kuleyo migqa umugqa womlando wesiprofetho otholakala evesini lesibili likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye. Lapho sithola ukuthi umongameli wesithupha wase-United States emva kwesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989 nguDonald Trump, lowo ngokwevesi “ovusa” (ovuselela), wonke umbuso waseGrisiya (ubuglobhalizimu), okhethweni luka-2016.

We then began to consider the prophetic characteristics associated with the three powers which make up the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet which together are, since 1989, leading the world to the close of probation, at the battle of the great day of God which is Armageddon. We are considering these prophetic characteristics in order to identify the political attributes of the Republican horn of the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. The two horns of Republicanism and Protestantism were represented with the two horns upon the ram of Medo-Persia, in Daniel chapter eight.

Sabe sesiqala ukucubungula izimpawu zesiprofetho ezihlobene namandla amathathu akha ubunye obuphindwe kathathu benyoka, besilo, nomprofethi wamanga, okungamandla ahlangene, kusukela ngowe-1989, ahola izwe ekupheleni komusa, empini yosuku olukhulu lukaNkulunkulu, eyi-Armagedoni. Sicubungula lezi zimpawu zesiprofetho ukuze sikhombe izimfanelo zezepolitiki zophondo lweRiphabhulikhi lwesilo sasemhlabeni esikuSambulo isahluko 13. Izimpondo ezimbili zobuRiphabhulikhi nobuProthestani zazimelelwe yizimpondo ezimbili enqameni yaseMede namaPheresiya, kuDaniyeli isahluko 8.

> Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. Daniel 8:3.

> Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona; bheka, kwakumi phambi komfula inqama eyayinezimpondo ezimbili; futhi lezo zimpondo zombili zaziphakeme; kepha olunye lwaluphakeme kunolunye, futhi oluphakeme lwavela ekugcineni. Daniyeli 8:3.

Medo-Persia was a twofold power, as was France in the French Revolution, and is the United States. The two horns of the United States are Republicanism and Protestantism, but the earth beast with the two horns changes from a lamb-like beast in its beginning, unto a beast which speaks as a dragon at its ending. The horn’s two prophetic lines run parallel to one another in Daniel chapter eleven verse forty, and when considered together they both begin at the time of the end in 1798. When the horns are investigated individually, the horn of Protestantism is prophetically associated with the time of the end in 1798, and the horn of Republicanism is associated with the time of the end in 1989.

IMedo‑Persia yayingumbuso onobunjalo obubili, njengoba kwakunjalo ngeFrance ngesikhathi seNguquko yaseFrance, futhi kunjalo nange-United States. Izimpondo ezimbili ze-United States yiRepublicanism neProtestantism, kodwa isilo somhlaba esinezimpondo ezimbili siyaguquka sisuke ekubeni yisilo esinjengewundlu ekuqaleni kwaso, siye ekubeni yisilo esikhuluma njengodrako ekugcineni kwaso. Imigqa emibili yesiprofetho yalezo zimpondo ihamba ngokuhambisana komunye nomunye kuDaniyeli isahluko seshumi nanye ivesi lamashumi amane, futhi lapho kubhekwa ndawonye yomibili iqala ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1798. Lapho lezo zimpondo zihlolwa ngazinye, uphondo lweProtestantism ngokwesiprofetho luhlotshaniswa nesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1798, kanti uphondo lweRepublicanism luhlotshaniswa nesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989.

Both horns have a twofold nature as typified by the Sanhedrin in the time of Christ that was made up of Sadducees and Pharisees. Sadducees were liberals and Pharisees were conservatives, and though they were avowed enemies, they came together against Christ at the cross. At the soon-coming Sunday law both horns of apostate Protestantism and apostate Republicanism will form a church-state relationship against Christ’s faithful seventh-day Sabbath-keepers, but as the two horns proceed through the history of the earth beast, each of the horns have an internal controversy portrayed with the liberalism of the Sadducees and conservatism of the Pharisees.

Zombili lezi zinezimpondo zinemvelo ephindwe kabili, njengoba kufanekiswa iSanhedrini ngesikhathi sikaKristu, eyayakhiwe ngabaSadusi nabaFarisi. AbaSadusi babengabenkululeko, kanti abaFarisi babengabalondolozi; futhi nakuba babeyizitha ezivumayo obala, bahlangana ndawonye bemelene noKristu esiphambanweni. Emthethweni weSonto osuzayo maduzane, zombili izimpondo zobuProthestani obuhlubukileyo nezobuRiphabhulikhi obuhlubukileyo ziyokwakha ubudlelwane bebandla nombuso bumelene nabagcini abathembekile beSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa lukaKristu; kodwa njengoba lezi zimpondo ezimbili ziqhubeka emlandweni wesilo somhlaba, ngasinye salezi zimpondo sinempikiswano yangaphakathi evezwa yinkululeko yabaSadusi nokulondoloza kwabaFarisi.

We are now considering the horn of Republicanism, and now take note that the Democratic party traces its origins back to the very beginnings of the history of the United States. It was formed in 1828 but had its political origins with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. According to the testimony of the two horns of Medo-Persia, the Republican party was established in 1854, in opposition to the pro-slavery position of the Democratic party. It therefore was the “higher” horn in Daniel chapter eight, for it was the horn that came up last.

Manje sesicabangela uphondo lweRiphabhulikhanizimu, futhi manje qaphelani ukuthi iqembu lamaDemokhrasi lilanda imvelaphi yalo libuyele ekuqaleni kanye komlando we-United States. Lasungulwa ngo-1828, kodwa imvelaphi yalo kwezombusazwe yayikuThomas Jefferson noJames Madison. Ngokobufakazi bezimpondo ezimbili zaseMede nePheresiya, iqembu lamaRiphabhulikhani lasungulwa ngo-1854, liphikisana nesikhundla esasisekela ubugqila seqembu lamaDemokhrasi. Ngakho-ke laliyilolo “phondo eliphakeme” kuDaniyeli isahluko sesishiyagalombili, ngoba yilo phondo elavela kamuva.

Of the twofold nature of the Republican horn, the Democratic party came up at the first and the Republican party came up last. The issue which produced the Republican party was its anti-slavery position in opposition to the Democratic party’s pro-slavery position. A theme with both horns is either political or spiritual slavery. That is why 1863 became a turning point for both horns. In 1863 the Republican horn pronounced freedom for the slaves, and the Democratic party’s resistance to that freedom produced not only the official Republican party, but also the US Civil War. In 1776 the United States spoke, and rejected the slavery of both the European kings (Statecraft) and the pope (Churchcraft). Then in 1789 the United States spoke as the Constitution went into effect. The earth beast had effectively “swallowed up the flood” of papal and kingly European persecution.

Ngokwemvelo ephindwe kabili yophondo lweRiphabhulikhi, iqembu lamaDemocrat laqala ukuvela kuqala, kwase kuba iqembu lamaRepublican elivela ekugcineni. Udaba olwazala iqembu lamaRepublican kwakuyisimo salo sokuphikisa ubugqila, simelana nesimo seqembu lamaDemocrat esasivuna ubugqila. Ingqikithi ehlobene nezimpondo zombili ingeyobugqila bezombusazwe noma yobugqila bokomoya. Yingakho u-1863 waba yisikhathi sokuphenduka kuzo zombili izimpondo. Ngo-1863 uphondo lweRiphabhulikhi lwamemezela inkululeko yezigqila, futhi ukuphikisa kweqembu lamaDemocrat leyo nkululeko kwaveza hhayi kuphela iqembu lamaRepublican elisemthethweni, kodwa futhi neMpi Yombango yase-United States. Ngo-1776 i-United States yakhuluma, yasenqaba ubugqila bamakhosi aseYurophu womabili (Statecraft) kanye nopapa (Churchcraft). Kwathi-ke ngo-1789 i-United States yaphinde yakhuluma ngesikhathi uMthethosisekelo uqala ukusebenza. Isilo sasemhlabeni sase “sigwinye isikhukhula” ngokuphumelelayo sokushushisa saseYurophu sobupapa nesobukhosi.

> And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:15–17.

> Inyoka yase ikhipha emlonyeni wayo amanzi njengomfula emva kowesifazane, ukuze imenze athathwe ngumfula. Kepha umhlaba wamsiza owesifazane, umhlaba wavula umlomo wawo, wagwinya umfula owawukhishwe ngudrako emlonyeni wakhe. Udrako wase uthukuthelele owesifazane, wahamba wayokulwa nensali yenzalo yakhe, egcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, futhi enobufakazi bukaJesu Kristu. IsAmbulo 12:15–17.

Then at the birth of the United States as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1798, the United States again spoke, and in so doing it placed into the record what the United States will speak at the end, for Jesus always illustrates the end with the beginning. The earth beast is to speak as a dragon at the soon-coming Sunday law, and when it does so, it ceases to be the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. What it spoke in its beginning as a kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1798 represents what it will speak again, when it speaks as a dragon.

Khona-ke ekuzalweni kwe-United States njengombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli ngo-1798, i-United States yaphinde yakhuluma, futhi ngokwenza kanjalo yafaka embhalweni lokho i-United States eyokukhuluma ekugcineni, ngoba uJesu uhlala ebonisa ukuphela ngesiqalo. Isilo somhlaba siyakukhuluma njengodrako emthethweni weSonto osuzayo maduzane, futhi lapho senza kanjalo, siyayeka ukuba ngumbuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. Lokho esakukhuluma ekuqaleni kwaso njengombuso wesiprofetho seBhayibheli ngo-1798 kumela lokho esiyokukhuluma futhi, lapho sikhuluma njengodrako.

The immigration laws of 1798, are referred to as the Alien and Sedition Acts, and were a series of four laws passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President John Adams in 1798. The laws primarily dealt with issues related to aliens (foreigners) residing in the United States, and they had a significant impact on immigration during that period. The four laws were thus:

Imithetho yabokufika ka-1798 ibizwa ngokuthi yi-Alien and Sedition Acts, futhi yayiyiqoqo lemithetho emine eyaphasiswa yi-United States Congress futhi yasayinwa yaba umthetho nguMongameli uJohn Adams ngo-1798. Le mithetho yayibhekene ngokuyinhloko nezindaba ezihlobene nabafokazi (abezizwe) ababehlala e-United States, futhi yaba nomthelela omkhulu ezindabeni zokufika kwabantu ngaleso sikhathi. Le mithetho emine yile:

The Naturalization Act of 1798: This law extended the residency requirement for immigrants to become U.S. citizens from five years to fourteen years. It made it more difficult for immigrants to become citizens and participate in the political process.

UMthetho Wokwenza Izakhamuzi Wango-1798: Lo mthetho wandisa isikhathi sokuhlala esasidingeka ukuze abafuduki babe yizakhamuzi zase-United States usisusa eminyakeni emihlanu usiyisa eminyakeni eyishumi nane. Wenza kwaba nzima kakhulu kubafuduki ukuba babe yizakhamuzi nokuba babambe iqhaza enqubweni yezepolitiki.

The Alien Friends Act: This law allowed the President to deport any non-citizen considered “dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States” during peacetime. It gave the President significant discretion in deporting foreigners.

UMthetho Wezihambi Ezingabangani: Lo mthetho wanikeza uMongameli amandla okuxosha kunoma yimuphi umuntu ongesona isakhamuzi obhekwa “njengoyingozi ekuthuleni nasekuphepheni kwe-United States” ngesikhathi sokuthula. Wanika uMongameli igunya elikhulu lokuzikhethela ekuxosheni abantu bokufika bakwamanye amazwe.

The Alien Enemies Act: This law granted the President the authority to apprehend, detain, and deport any male citizen of a hostile nation during wartime. It was primarily aimed at potential spies or saboteurs from enemy countries.

Umthetho Wezitha Zakwamanye Amazwe: Lo mthetho wanika uMongameli igunya lokubopha, ukuvalela, nokuxosha noma yimuphi owesilisa oyisakhamuzi sesizwe esinobutha ngesikhathi sempi. Ngokuyinhloko wawuhloselwe labo ababengase babe yizinhloli noma abachithi bezwe abavela emazweni ezitha.

The Sedition Act: While not directly related to immigration, the Sedition Act made it a crime to publish false, scandalous, or malicious statements against the U.S. government, Congress, or the President with the intent to defame them or bring them into disrepute. It was used to suppress political dissent and criticism.

UMthetho Wokuvukela Umbuso: Nakuba ungahlobene ngokuqondile nokufuduka kwabantu, uMthetho Wokuvukela Umbuso wenza kwaba yicala ukushicilela izitatimende ezingamanga, eziyihlazo, noma ezinenhloso embi ngokumelene nohulumeni wase-U.S., iKhongolose, noma uMongameli, ngenhloso yokubadumaza noma yokubalethela ukweyiseka emphakathini. Wasetshenziswa ukucindezela ukuphikisa kwezombusazwe nokugxeka.

The essence of the Alien and Sedition Acts at the beginning of the United States as the sixth kingdom in 1798, identify plainly the intent of Donald Trump and his MAGA supporters. The act was the “first” speaking and when the earth beast speaks as a dragon at its “last,” the laws will be very similar. The fact that the environment of the current history perfectly reflects the logic for these acts to be repeated is Christ’s signature as Alpha and Omega. In the middle of the “speaking” of the earth beast in 1863, was the first Republican president’s Emancipation Proclamation.

Ingqikithi yeMithetho Yabokufika Neyokuvukela umbuso ekuqaleni kwe-United States njengombuso wesithupha ngo-1798, ikhomba ngokusobala inhloso kaDonald Trump nabasekeli bakhe be-MAGA. Lowo mthetho wawuyikho “ukukhuluma” kokuqala, futhi lapho isilo somhlaba sikhuluma njengodrako “ekugcineni” kwaso, imithetho iyofana kakhulu. Iqiniso lokuthi isimo somlando wamanje sibonakalisa ngokuphelele umqondo wokuba le mithetho iphinde yenziwe, liyisiginesha sikaKristu njengo-Alfa no-Omega. Phakathi nendawo “kokukhuluma” kwesilo somhlaba ngo-1863, kwakukhona i-Emancipation Proclamation kamongameli wokuqala we-Republican.

The Emancipation Proclamation marked the dead center of the Civil War, and thus the definition of the Hebrew word “truth,” is found in the three waymarks of the earth beast’s speaking. The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the same as the last letter, and the thirteenth letter is the symbol of rebellion.

Isimemezelo Sokukhululwa samaka maphakathi nendawo yempi yombango, ngakho-ke incazelo yegama lesiHebheru elithi “iqiniso” itholakala ezimpawini ezintathu zendlela zokukhuluma kwesilo sasemhlabeni. Uhlamvu lokuqala lwezinhlamvu zesiHebheru luyefana nohlamvu lokugcina, kanti uhlamvu lweshumi nantathu luwuphawu lokuhlubuka.

It needs to be considered at this point that 1863, and the rebellion identified there, was also fulfilled in the Laodicean Adventist church represented by the Protestant horn at the same time the Republican horn was manifesting a political rebellion. The twofold nature of the Protestant horn was identified by the transition of the Philadelphian Adventist movement into the Laodicean Adventist church, and the twofold nature of the Republican horn was identified in the controversy between the Democratic party’s pro-slavery position that produced the Republican anti-slavery party and the first Republican president.

Kudingeka ukuba kubhekwe kuleli qophelo ukuthi u-1863, kanye nokuvukela okwachazwa lapho, kwagcwaliseka futhi ebandleni lama-Adventist laseLawodikeya elimelelwa uphondo lwamaProthestani ngesikhathi esifanayo lapho uphondo lweRiphabhulikhi lwalubonakalisa ukuvukela kwezombusazwe. Imvelo ephindwe kabili yophondo lwamaProthestani yabonakaliswa ukuguquka komnyakazo wama-Adventist waseFiladelfiya waba yibandla lama-Adventist laseLawodikeya, futhi imvelo ephindwe kabili yophondo lweRiphabhulikhi yabonakaliswa empikiswaneni phakathi kwesikhundla seqembu lamaDemocrat esasisekela ubugqila esakhiqiza iqembu leRiphabhulikhi elimelene nobugqila kanye nomongameli wokuqala weRiphabhulikhi.

The first Republican president is placed in the middle of the three-step prophetic signature of “truth.” He is therefore the ending of the first period and the beginning of the second period, just as was the cross the ending of the three and a half years of Christ’s personal ministry, and also the beginning of His three and a half years ministry in the person of His disciples. The beginning of His personal ministry was at His baptism, which symbolically represented His death, and that period ended with His death. His death began the ministry of His disciples that ended with the death of His disciple, Stephen.

UMongameli wokuqala weRiphabhulikhi ubekwa maphakathi nesiginesha yesiprofetho yezinyathelo ezintathu “yeqiniso.” Ngakho-ke uyisiphetho sesikhathi sokuqala kanye nesiqalo sesikhathi sesibili, njengoba nesiphambano saba yisiphetho seminyaka emithathu nengxenye yenkonzo kaKristu siqu, futhi saba futhi yisiqalo seminyaka emithathu nengxenye yenkonzo Yakhe ngomuntu wabafundi Bakhe. Ukuqala kwenkonzo Yakhe siqu kwaba ekubhapathizweni Kwakhe, okwakumelwa ngokomfanekiso ukufa Kwakhe, futhi leso sikhathi saphela ngokufa Kwakhe. Ukufa Kwakhe kwaqala inkonzo yabafundi Bakhe eyaphela ngokufa komfundi Wakhe, uStefanu.

The “speaking” of the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 was the beginning of a period that ended with the “speaking” of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation marked the beginning of a second period that ends when the United States “speaks” as a dragon. The president that “spoke” in 1863, was the first Republican president, therefore the last president will also be a Republican.

“Ukukhuluma” kweMithetho ye-Alien and Sedition ngo-1798 kwaba ukuqala kwenkathi eyaphela “ngokukhuluma” kwe-Emancipation Proclamation. I-Emancipation Proclamation yaphawula ukuqala kwenkathi yesibili ephela lapho i-United States “ikhuluma” njengodrako. Umongameli “owakhuluma” ngo-1863 wayengumongameli wokuqala we-Republican; ngakho-ke umongameli wokugcina naye uyoba yi-Republican.

There are two movements that are produced by the three angels of Revelation chapter fourteen. The first and second angels’ messages were presented by the Millerite movement, which rebelled and became an official Church in 1863. Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of the thing. The movement of the third angel, which is also the mighty angel of Revelation chapter eighteen, is the last of the two movements of the three angels. What began in 1798 as a movement of the true Protestant horn, transitioned into a Church in the rebellion of 1863, and when the history of the earth beast concludes at the soon coming Sunday law, the rebellious Church of 1863 will transition back into an unofficial movement, for what began as a movement ends as a movement.

Kukhona iminyakazo emibili eveliswa yizingelosi ezintathu zesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nane. Imiyalezo yengelosi yokuqala neyesibili yethulwa umnyakazo wamaMillerite, owahlubuka waba iBandla elisemthethweni ngo-1863. UJesu uhlale ebonisa ukuphela kwento ngesiqalo saleyo nto. Umnyakazo wengelosi yesithathu, okuyiyo futhi ingelosi enamandla yesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nesishiyagalombili, ungowokugcina kule minyakazo emibili yezingelosi ezintathu. Owaqala ngo-1798 njengomnyakazo wophondo lweqiniso lwamaProthestani, waguqukela eBandleni ekuhlubukeni kwango-1863, futhi lapho umlando wesilo somhlaba uphetha emthethweni weSonto ozayo maduze, iBandla elihlubukayo lango-1863 liyoguqukela futhi emuva ekubeni umnyakazo ongahlelekile ngokusemthethweni, ngoba okwaqala kungumnyakazo kuphetha kungumnyakazo.

In the transitions of the Protestant horn in the beginning and the ending, a movement changes to a Church, and then back into a movement at the end. In the first transition point, at the beginning, Philadelphia changed to Laodicea, and at the transition point at the ending, Laodicea changes back to Philadelphia.

Ezinguqukweni zophondo lwamaProthestani ekuqaleni nasekupheleni, inhlangano iguquka ibe yiBandla, bese ekugcineni ibuyela futhi ekubeni inhlangano. Endaweni yokuqala yenguquko, ekuqaleni, iFiladelfiya yaguquka yaba yiLawodisiya; kuthi endaweni yenguquko ekupheleni, iLawodisiya iphinde iguquke ibuyele eFiladelfiya.

For the Republican horn the transition point was the history leading up to the Civil War, which produced the Republican party. For the Protestant horn the transition point was 1856 to 1863, which was the identical history of transition for the Republican horn. Founded in 1854, the first national convention of the Republican anti-slavery party was in 1856. For the Protestant horn the symbol of rebellion was the legal organization of a Church. For the Republican horn the pro-slavery Democratic party is the symbol of rebellion.

Ngophondo lweRiphabhulikhi, iphuzu lenguquko laliyilowo mlando owaholela eMpini Yombango, owaveza iqembu lamaRiphabhulikhi. Ngophondo lwamaProthestani, iphuzu lenguquko laliyisikhathi sika-1856 kuya ku-1863, okwakuyilowo kanye umlando ofanayo wenguquko njengowophondo lweRiphabhulikhi. Lisungulwe ngo-1854, umhlangano wokuqala kazwelonke weqembu lamaRiphabhulikhi elalimelene nobugqila waba ngo-1856. Ngophondo lwamaProthestani, uphawu lokuvukela kwakuyinhlangano esemthethweni yeBandla. Ngophondo lweRiphabhulikhi, iqembu lamaDemokhrasi elalivuna ubugqila liyisibonakaliso sokuvukela.

The third angel returned to Kadesh a second time on September 11, 2001 and the transition from Church to movement began in the prophetic structure of the parable of the ten virgins. The first disappointment occurred on July 18, 2020 in the final and perfect fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, and in the same year the sixth president since the time of the end in 1989, the president who was to “stir up” the realm of Grecia, received a “deadly wound” politically, as did the first Republican president receive a literal deadly wound.

Ingelosi yesithathu yabuyela eKadeshi ngokwesibili ngoSepthemba 11, 2001, futhi ukuguquka kusuka eBandleni kuya enhlanganweni kwaqala esakhiweni esiprofethayo somfanekiso wezintombi eziyishumi. Ukudumala kokuqala kwenzeka ngoJulayi 18, 2020 ekugcwalisekeni kokugcina nokupheleleyo komfanekiso wezintombi eziyishumi, futhi ngawo lowo nyaka umongameli wesithupha kusukela esikhathini sokuphela ngo-1989, umongameli okwakumele “anyakazise” umbuso waseGrecia, wamukeliswa “isilonda esibulalayo” kwezombusazwe, njengoba nomongameli wokuqala weRiphabhulikhi wamukeliswa isilonda esibulalayo sangempela.

The measured outpouring of the latter rain began on September 11, 2001, and it continues to the soon coming Sunday law, where the latter rain then is poured out without measure. The latter rain is the power from above, and Sister White repeatedly identifies that during the time when a power is descending from above, a satanic power will be ascending from beneath. There are three satanic powers in the book of Revelation that ascend from Satan’s bottomless pit. Islam ascended out of the bottomless pit on September 11, 2001, in agreement with the smoke that came from the bottomless pit of the first Woe, in chapter nine.

Ukuthululwa okulinganiselwe kwemvula yakamuva kwaqala ngoSepthemba 11, 2001, futhi kuyaqhubeka kuze kufike umthetho weSonto osuzofika maduze, lapho imvula yakamuva isibe isithululwa ngaphandle kwesilinganiso. Imvula yakamuva ingamandla avela phezulu, futhi uDade White uveza ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuthi ngesikhathi lapho amandla ehla evela phezulu, amandla kaSathane ayobe enyuka evela phansi. Kunezintathu amandla kaSathane encwadini yesAmbulo akhuphuka emgodini wakwalasha kaSathane. UbuSulumane bakhuphuka buphuma emgodini wakwalasha ngoSepthemba 11, 2001, ngokuvumelana nentuthu eyaphuma emgodini wakwalasha woMaye wokuqala, esahlukweni sesishiyagalolunye.

> And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Revelation 9:1–4.

> Ingelosi lesihlanu lakhala, ngase ngibona inkanyezi iwa ezulwini iye emhlabeni; yanikwa isihluthulelo somgodi wakwalasha. Yawuvula umgodi wakwalasha; kwase kukhuphuka intuthu ivela emgodini, njengentuthu yesithando esikhulu; ilanga nomoya kwaba mnyama ngenxa yentuthu yomgodi. Kwase kuphuma entuthwini izinkumbi zehlela emhlabeni; zanikezwa amandla, njengofezela bomhlaba benamandla. Zayalwa ukuba zingoni utshani bomhlaba, nanoma yini eluhlaza, nanoma yimuphi umuthi; kodwa abantu kuphela abangenalo uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emabunzini abo. IsAmbulo 9:1–4.

When Islam of the third woe arrived on September 11, 2001, as typified by the first woe, it could not hurt those who had the seal of God, thus identifying the beginning of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The conclusion of the sealing is at the soon coming Sunday law in the United States, which is where the sea beast who had received a deadly wound, and had been forgotten, ascends out of the bottomless pit to become the eighth kingdom which is of the seven.

Lapho ubuSulumane bosizi lwesithathu bufika ngoSepthemba 11, 2001, njengoba babufanekiswe usizi lokuqala, babungeke bulimaze labo ababenophawu lukaNkulunkulu, ngaleyo ndlela bukhomba ukuqala kokubekwa uphawu kwabantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane. Isiphetho sokubekwa uphawu siseMthethweni weSonto ozayo maduze e-United States, okuyilapho isilo sasolwandle esasithole inxeba elibulalayo, futhi sase sesikhohliwe, sikhuphuka siphuma emgodini ongenamkhawulo ukuze sibe ngumbuso wesishiyagalombili ongowabayisikhombisa.

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

> Isilo osibonileyo sasikhona, kepha asisekho; siyakukhuphuka siphume kwalasha ongenasiphelo, siye ekubhujisweni; nalabo abakhileyo emhlabeni bayakumangala, labo amagama abo angalotshwanga encwadini yokuphila selokhu kwasekelwa izwe, lapho bebona isilo esasikhona, kepha esingasekho, kanti nokho sikhona. IsAmbulo 17:8.

The prophetic period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began with a power ascending out of the bottomless pit, and it will end with a power that ascends from the bottomless pit. In the middle of that history the beast of atheism, the “woke” dragon power, also ascends out of the bottomless pit to kill the two witnesses. Alpha and Omega placed His signature upon this history.

Isikhathi sesiprofetho sokubekwa uphawu kwabeyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane saqala ngamandla enyuka ephuma emgodini ongenasiphelo, futhi siyophela ngamandla anyuka ephuma emgodini ongenasiphelo. Phakathi nendawo yalowo mlando, isilo sokungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, amandla kadrako “woke”, naso siyenyuka siphuma emgodini ongenasiphelo ukuze sibulale ofakazi ababili. U-Alfa no-Omega wabeka isiginesha saKhe phezu kwalo mlando.

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

> Kwathi lapho sebeqedile ubufakazi babo, isilo esikhuphuka siphuma emgodini ongenasiphelo siyakulwa nabo, sibanqobe, sibabulale. Futhi izidumbu zabo ziyakulala esitaladini somuzi omkhulu, ngokomoya obizwa ngokuthi iSodoma neGibhithe, lapho neNkosi yethu yabethelwa khona. Futhi abavela kubantu nasezinhlotsheni nasezilimini nasezizweni bayakuzibona izidumbu zabo izinsuku ezintathu nengxenye, bangavumi ukuba izidumbu zabo zibekwe emathuneni. Futhi abakhileyo emhlabeni bayakuthokoza ngabo, bajabule, bathumele izipho komunye nomunye; ngokuba laba baprofethi ababili babebahlupha abakhileyo emhlabeni. Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu nengxenye uMoya wokuphila ovela kuNkulunkulu wangena kubo, bema ngezinyawo zabo; kwesuka ukwesaba okukhulu kwehlela labo ababebabona. IsAmbulo 11:7–11.

In the year 2020, the Republican and the true Protestant horns were murdered. One by the political dragon power of atheism, and the other by the spiritual dragon power of atheism. They then were dead for a period of time represented as three and a half days, after which they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those represented as the dragon power. The fear that is currently being expressed by the progressive Democrats over the reemergence of the political might of Donald Trump is a fulfillment of prophecy. The “fear” that is being expressed by those who have followed the ministry of Future for America, represents a different type of fear.

Ngonyaka ka-2020, izimpondo zeRiphabhulikhi nezobuProthestani beqiniso zabulawa. Enye yabulawa ngamandla kadrako wezepolitiki wobu-ateyizimu, kanti enye yabulawa ngamandla kadrako womoya wobu-ateyizimu. Zase zifa isikhathi esithile esimelelwe njengezinsuku ezintathu nengxenye, okwathi ngemva kwalokho zema ngezinyawo zazo, kwehlela ukwesaba okukhulu phezu kwalabo abamelelwa njengamandla kadrako. Ukwesaba okukhonjiswa njengamanje amaDemokhrasi aqhubekela phambili ngenxa yokuphinde kuvele amandla ezepolitiki kaDonald Trump kuwukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho. “Ukwesaba” okukhonjiswa yilabo abalandele inkonzo yeFuture for America kumele uhlobo oluhlukile lokwesaba.

Those who should fear the message of Future for America, are Laodicean Adventists, who were all called to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. But as certified Laodiceans, living in the fourth generation, which is the generations of vipers and adulterers, they possess no fear. The fear they need to take hold of is the everlasting gospel which commands men to “fear God, and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment is come.”

Labo okufanele besabe umlayezo we-Future for America, ngama-Adventist aseLawodikeya, bonke ababebiziwe ukuba babe phakathi kwabantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane. Kodwa njengamaLawodikeya aqinisekisiwe, aphila esizukulwaneni sesine, okuyizizukulwane zezinyoka nezifebe, awanakho ukwesaba. Ukwesaba okufanele akubambe ngokuqinile kuyivangeli laphakade eliyala abantu ukuba “besabe uNkulunkulu, bamnike inkazimulo; ngokuba ihora lokwahlulela kwakhe selifikile.”

That hour is the hour of the great earthquake, that occurs when the two witnesses of the one hundred and forty-four thousand are lifted up as an ensign, at the very time the Laodicean Church is spewed out of the mouth of the Lord.

Lelo hora liyihora lokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, okwenzeka lapho ofakazi ababili besibalo sabayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane bephakanyiswa babe yisibonakaliso, ngaso leso sikhathi iBandla laseLawodikeya lihlanzwa liphume emlonyeni weNkosi.

Sizoqhubeka nalesi sifundo esihlokweni esilandelayo.

> “‘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.]

> “‘Kwathi sebeqedile ubufakazi babo, isilo esikhuphuka siphuma emgodini ongenasiphelo siyakulwa nabo, sibanqobe, sibabulale. Izidumbu zabo ziyakulele emgwaqweni womuzi omkhulu, obizwa ngokomoya ngokuthi iSodoma neGibhithe, lapho neNkosi yethu yabethelwa khona.’ [IsAmbulo 11:7, 8.]

> “These events were to take place near the close of the period in which the witnesses testified in sackcloth. Through the medium of the papacy, Satan had long controlled the powers that ruled in Church and State. The fearful results were especially apparent in those countries that rejected the light of the Reformation. There was a state of moral debasement and corruption similar to the condition of Sodom just prior to its destruction, and to the idolatry and spiritual darkness that prevailed in Egypt in the days of Moses.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 190.

> “Lezi zehlakalo kwakufanele zenzeke sekusondele ukuphela kwesikhathi lapho ofakazi babefakaza begqoke amasaka. Ngozindlela zobupapa, uSathane wayesekade elawula amandla ayebusa eBandleni naseMbuso. Imiphumela eyesabekayo yabonakala ngokukhethekile kulawo mazwe enqaba ukukhanya kweNguquko. Kwakukhona isimo sokonakala nokukhohlakala kokuziphatha esifana nesimo saseSodoma ngaphambi nje kokubhujiswa kwaso, kanye nokukhonza izithombe nobumnyama bokomoya obabubusa eGibhithe ezinsukwini zikaMose.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 190.
