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

Sithatha isikhathi sokubeka obala isakhiwo sikaDaniyeli isahluko seshumi nanye, njengoba sibhekana nevesi lamashumi amane. Ivesi lamashumi amane liyafana nevesi leshumi nane likaDaniyeli isahluko sesishiyagalombili, ngomqondo wesiprofetho wokuthi ukukhanya, uKristu, njengeNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda, akuvula ngo-1798, kwakusekelwe kuDaniyeli isahluko sesishiyagalombili ivesi leshumi nane; kanjalo futhi, ukukhanya akuvula ngo-1989 kwakusekelwe evesini lamashumi amane.

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

Njengoba sesibonisile, kodwa singakakucubunguli ngempela esihlokweni esedlule, lapho kusetshenziswa indlela yemvula yokugcina ethi “umugqa phezu komugqa,” ivesi lamashumi amane libeka imigqa emibili ehlukene, ngokuba liqukethe isikhathi sokuphela kokubili komnyakazo wengelosi yokuqala nokomnyakazo wengelosi yesithathu.

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

Lapho sihlanganisa isikhathi sokuphela sevesi lamashumi amane ngo-1798, nesikhathi saso sokuphela ngo-1989, sithola ukuthi uDaniyeli isahluko sesishiyagalombili, ivesi leshumi nane, sihambisana noDaniyeli isahluko seshumi nanye, ivesi lamashumi amane, ngoba kokubili kumele ulwazi oluvulwa uphawu emlandweni wesiprofetho wezingelosi ezintathu zesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nane. Futhi kuhlobene ngeqiniso lokuthi ivesi leshumi nane lingumbono we-“mareh” wokuthi uKristu “abonakale” ngokuzumayo ethempelini, kanti ivesi lamashumi amane lingumbono we-“chazon” weminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amahlanu namashumi amabili yomlando wesiprofetho. Okunye kuyiphuzu lesikhathi, okunye kuyisikhathi eseluliwe.

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

Okunye kumela ukubuyiselwa nokuhlanzwa kwethempeli, kanti okunye kumela ukubhujiswa nokunyathelwa phansi kwethempeli. Okunye kumela iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu, kanti okunye kumela iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amahlanu namashumi amabili. Okunye kumelwe ngumfula i-Ulai, kanti okunye kumelwe ngumfula i-Hiddekel. Okunye kumela ubuntu, kanti okunye kumela ubuNkulunkulu. Uma kuqondwa ngokufanele, ivesi lamashumi amane lihlangene nevesi leshumi nane lijule ngokumangalisayo. U-1798 umelela umsebenzi wobuNkulunkulu, kanti u-1989 umelela ukuhlubuka kobuntu.

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

Esihlokweni esedlule saphawula ukuthi incazelo yokunqotshwa kwezithiyo ezintathu yinkosi yasenyakatho ivezwe ngendlela elandelanayo, kodwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwangempela kwezehlakalo ezivezwayo kudinga ukusetshenziswa ngokucophelela, ngokuba amavesi amashumi amane nambili kuya kwelamashumi amane nane kuhlanganisa nalelo vesi, empeleni ahambisana nevesi lamashumi amane nanye, okuwumthetho weSonto osuzofika maduze e-United States. Kulapho inyunyana emithathu ifezeka khona, futhi kulapho umyalezo wokukhala okukhulu wase “mpumalanga” nowase “nyakatho” uqala khona.

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

KuDaniyeli isahluko 11, sekuyiminyaka abafundi bama-Adventist beqaphela ukuthi uDaniyeli usebenzisa indlela ethile emifanekisweni yakhe ngeRoma. U-Uriah Smith uyakuqaphela lokhu encwadini ethi Daniel and Revelation. UDaniyeli uqala ngokuchaza indlela iRoma ethatha ngayo ukulawula umhlaba, bese emavesini alandelayo ebuyela emuva ekuqaleni kwalowo mlando, echaza ukunqoba kwezombusazwe, futhi echaza indlela iRoma esebenzisana ngayo nabantu bakaNkulunkulu phakathi kwalowo mlando ofanayo. Bese ekugcineni echaza indlela iRoma efika ngayo ekupheleni kwayo. Umgomo uDaniyeli awusebenzisayo ubizwa ngokuthi, “phinda futhi wandise.”

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

Leli qhinga lezinyathelo ezintathu lichazwa emavesini angamashumi amane kuya kwamashumi amane nanhlanu. Amavesi angamashumi amane kuya kwamashumi amane nantathu, achaza inqubo yezinyathelo ezintathu yeRoma Yesimanje yokuthumba umhlaba wonke, bese kuthi evesini lamashumi amane nane, uDaniyeli abuyele emuva evesini lamashumi amane nanye, lapho “izindaba” ezimenyezelwa khona yisibonakaliso sabayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane, nalapho upapa esehamba khona ngokufutheka okukhulu ukuba abhubhise futhi aqothule abaningi ngokuphelele. Khona-ke evesini lamashumi amane nanhlanu, nasesahlukweni seshumi nambili, ivesi lokuqala, upapa ufika ekupheleni kwakhe kungabikho omsizayo, phakathi kwezilwandle nentaba engcwele ekhazimulayo, ngesikhathi kuvalwa umusa wokuhlolwa kwabantu.

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

Evesini lamashumi amathathu kuDaniyeli ishumi nanye, sithola ukuqala komlando uDadewethu White awucaphuna izwi nezwi kuze kube ivesi lamashumi amathathu nesithupha, bese ebhala ukuthi, “izigameko ezifana nalezo ezichazwe kula mavesi ziyokwenzeka.” Ivesi lamashumi amathathu nelamashumi amathathu nanye likhomba uguquko lomlando olusuka eRoma lobuqaba luye eRoma lobupapa njengebukhosi besine nobesihlanu besiprofetho seBhayibheli, ngokulandelana. Ivesi lamashumi amathathu nanye lichaza umlando omele indlela iRoma lobupapa eyabekwa ngayo esihlalweni sobukhosi bomhlaba ngonyaka ka-538.

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

Evesini lamashumi amathathu nanye, into yokuqala eboniswayo yileso sikhathi lapho uClovis, inkosi yamaFranks (iFrance yanamuhla), esekela upapa ngonyaka ka-496. UClovis wabe eseguquka ekukhonzeni izithixo obala waya ekukhonzeni izithixo okufihlekile kobuKatolika (inkolo yomkakhe uClotilda). Wabe esenikela isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ekuphakamiseni upapa esihlalweni sobukhosi somhlaba. UClovis wayemelwe “izingalo,” kulelo vesi, ngoba wanikela ngengalo yakhe yamandla ezempi nangengalo yakhe yamandla ezimali emsebenzini ayesewuthathile.

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

Umsebenzi kaClovis wokuqala wawumele umsebenzi wawo wonke amakhosi aseYurophu eyayike yaba yobuhedeni ngaphambili, ayehlelelwe ukunikeza izinhlobo ezahlukene zokusekela isifebe saseRoma njengoba umlando wawuqhubeka ukwambulala. UClovis, bese kuthi kamuva iFrance, wagcotshwa ibandla lamaKatolika ngesiqu sesibulo sebandla lamaKatolika, futhi nangokuthi indodakazi endala kunazo zonke yebandla lamaKatolika. Wayeyisibonakaliso sowokuqala kwamakhosi amaningi ukuba afebe nesifebe saseThire.

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

Ngalo mqondo wesiprofetho uClovis wayemelwe ngu-Ahabi, naye futhi owayenze ubufebe noJezebeli (uphawu lweSonto lamaKatolika encwadini yeSambulo), futhi naye futhi owayeyinkosi eyinhloko yezizwe eziyishumi, njengoba uClovis aba uphawu oluyinhloko lwezimpondo eziyishumi (bheka uDaniyeli isahluko sesikhombisa) lweRoma yobuqaba. Lawo makhosi aseYurophu ayeyogcina emise isifebe saseBabiloni esihlalweni sobukhosi bomhlaba. Ngalo mqondo u-Ahabi noClovis bobabili bamele i-United States, eyenza ubufebe nopapa ezinsukwini zokugcina.

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

URonald Reagan waqala ubufebe, futhi kuyoba ngumongameli wokugcina ophoqelela amanye amakhosi ayisishiyagalolunye eZizwe Ezihlangene ukuba nawo enze leso senzo esifanayo. UReagan wayengumongameli ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989, ngakho-ke ngokwesiprofetho kumelwe amele umongameli wokugcina emlandweni lapho amanye amakhosi ayisishiyagalolunye efeza sona leso senzo, ngoba uJesu uhlale ebonisa ukuphela kwento ngokuqala kwento. UReagan wayeyindoda ecebe kakhulu, eyaziwa kakhulu emithonjeni yezindaba, ehlonishwa kakhulu ngenxa yendlela yakhe yokukhuluma eyayingejwayelekile kuye uqobo, owaqala eseqenjini leDemocratic, owagcina eseshintshele eqenjini leRepublican.

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

Evesini lamashumi amathathu nanye, izingalo ezazimele upapa zazingcolisa indlu engcwele yamandla. Ngokwesiprofetho, indlu engcwele yamandla kokubili kuRoma yobuqaba nakuRoma kapapa kwakuyiDolobha laseRoma. Lokhu kusekelwe eqinisweni lokuthi womabili la maRoma abusa isikhathi esithile esiqondile esuka eDolobheni laseRoma, futhi lapho ebusa esuka eDolobheni laseRoma, ayengahlulwa ngokuyisisekelo.

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

IRoma yobuqaba yaqala ukubusa kwayo kweminyaka engamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha eMpini yase-Actium, ngonyaka ka-31 BC. UDaniyeli isahluko seshumi nanye, ivesi lamashumi amabili nane, ukhomba ukuthi babeyokwakha amacebo abo besuka enqabeni yabo, eyayiyiDolobha laseRoma, “isikhathi.” “Isikhathi” esingokwesiprofetho siyiminyaka engamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha, futhi eminyakeni engamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha emva kweMpi yase-Actium, lapho u-Antony noCleopatra benqotshwa khona, uConstantine wasuka eDolobheni laseRoma waya eDolobheni laseConstantinople, futhi isikhathi sokunganqotshwa kweRoma yobuqaba sase siphelile.

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

Lapho isithiyo sesithathu sendawo esasivimbela iRoma yobupapa (amaGoth), sixoshwa eDolobheni laseRoma ngonyaka ka-538, kwaqala ukubusa ngobukhosi obuphakeme kweRoma yobupapa kweminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha, kwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba ngu-1798, lapho upapa esuswa eDolobheni laseRoma, ngaleyo ndlela kufezwa inxeba elibulalayo lesiprofetho esilwaneni sobupapa; kwathi ngonyaka olandelayo, u-1799, lowo papa (owesifazane owayegibele isilo) wafa esekuthunjweni.

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

Izingalo (uClovis) eyayimele upapa yayizongcolisa indawo engcwele yamandla, futhi uConstantine waqala lowo msebenzi ngokukhomba ngokwefilosofi lo muzi njengomuzi omncane kuneConstantinople; kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuya phambili, impi yalowo mlando eyayiqhutshwa yizitha zaseRoma yayihlale igxile ekuhlaseleni uMuzi waseRoma, futhi ngonyaka ka-476 akuzange kuphinde kube khona ozalo lwangempela lwaseRoma olwalubusa kulowo muzi, kwaze kwaba ngonyaka ka-538, lapho umuzi waba yindawo engcwele yamandla yeRoma yobupapa.

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

U-Ahabi, uClovis, neFrance kufanekisela i-United States, futhi ithempeli lamandla le-United States linguMthethosisekelo we-United States. Lowo mbhalo ungumbhalo wobuNkulunkulu, futhi uyisibonakaliso sendlela emlandweni wesiprofetho. Kusukela ngesikhathi uRonald Reagan esekela upapa emlandweni oholela ku-1989, uMthethosisekelo ubulokhu uhlaselwa njalo ngokwanda, njengoba kwaba njalo ngethempeli lamandla ekubhujisweni nasekuweni kweRoma lobuqaba. Lapho umthetho weSonto ozayo maduze e-United States usuqaliswa, uMthethosisekelo uyakuketulwa ngokuphelele. Kusukela esikhathini sikaReagan kuze kube yilo mthetho weSonto, umlando wokusukela onyakeni ka-330 kuya ku-538 uyaphindwa. Ngonyaka ka-538, upapa wabekwa esihlalweni sobukhosi, ngaleyo ndlela kufanekiselwa ukuphulukiswa kwesilonda sawo esibulalayo ngalowo mthetho weSonto.

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

Isikhathi esisukela kuRonald Reagan kuya emthethweni weSonto siyisikhathi sesiprofetho esichazwe ngokukhethekile yiZwi likaNkulunkulu lesiprofetho. “Izingalo,” ezimelwe nguClovis, nazo kwakumelwe zisuse “okwemihla ngemihla,” embusweni woMbuso wamaRoma owawukade ungowobuqaba. Inkolo yalowo mbuso yayiyobuqaba kwasekuqaleni impela, futhi uClovis waqala umsebenzi wokushintsha inkolo yobuqaba obusobala ayifakele inkolo yobuKatolika, okuyinto eyobuqaba nje embethe ingubo.

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

I-United States ilususa ngokuphelele inkolo yobuProthestani lapho iphoqelela uphawu lwegunya lobupapa emthethweni weSonto ozayo maduze, ngokuba incazelo eyodwa kuphela yegama elithi “Prothestani” iwukuphikisa iRoma. Uma wamukela uphawu lwegunya leRoma, awuyiphikisi iRoma. Ku-Amose isahluko sesithathu, ivesi lesithathu, u-Amose ubuza umbuzo wokukhuluma nje: “Bangahamba ndawonye yini ababili, uma bengavumelananga?”

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

> “Emikhankasweni eqhubekayo manje e-United States yokuzuza ukwesekwa kombuso kwezikhungo nemikhuba yebandla, amaProthestani alandela ezinyathelweni zamaPaphisti. Ngaphezu kwalokho, avulela ubuPapa umnyango wokuba buphinde buthole eMelika yamaProthestani ubukhosi obukhulu obabulahlekelwe yibo eZweni Elidala.” The Great Controversy, 573.

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

Lapho inkolo yobuqaba isuswa njengenkolo esemthethweni yombuso ngonyaka ka-508, yafanekisa ukuthi isivimbelo, esimelelwa nguPawulu kweyesibili kwabaseThesalonika isahluko sesibili, sasisusiwe kusengaphambili ngaphambi kokwambulwa komuntu wesono emthethweni weSonto osuzofika maduze e-United States. Ukuthotshiswa kwenkolo yobuqaba eyayivele obala, okwadlulela enkolweni yobuqaba efihlekile yobuKatolika, akuzange kwenzeke ngokuphazima kweso, futhi emlandweni kuphawulwa njengokuqale ngokuguqukela kukaClovis ebuKatolikeni ngonyaka ka-496, kwase kuqedwa ngokuphelele ngonyaka ka-508.

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

Ngakho-ke, kusukela eminyakeni kaReagan, kuqala ngo-1989, kuze kube ngumthetho weSonto ozayo maduze, ubuProthestani bangempela buyakube bubanjwe ngokuphelele e-United States. Ngaleso sikhathi uMthethosisekelo, “indawo engcwele yamandla” ye-United States, uyakugumbuqelwa, futhi umsebenzi wesine “wezingalo” zevesi lamashumi amathathu nanye uyakube usufezekile, njengoba “izingalo” ngaleso sikhathi zibeka upapa esihlalweni sobukhosi somhlaba, njengoba kwaba njalo ngonyaka ka-538.

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

Lapho ubupapa sebuthathe isihlalo sobukhosi ngonyaka ka-538, ukulandisa kuDaniyeli kushintsha ekuchazeni indlela ubupapa obanqoba ngayo umhlaba, kuye esihlokweni sokuthi ubupapa bababushushisa kanjani abantu bakaNkulunkulu kulowo mlando. Evesini leshumi nane, esahlukweni seshumi sikaDaniyeli, uGabriyeli wayesemazisile uDaniyeli ukuthi injongo yombono ayesezowethula kwakuwukubonisa “okuyakwehlela abantu bakaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina.”

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

> Manje sengize ukukwazisa lokho okuyokwehlela abantu bakho ezinsukwini zokugcina; ngokuba umbono usengowezinsuku eziningi. Danieli 10:14.

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

Amavesi amashumi amathathu nambili kuya evesini lamashumi amathathu nesithupha yilawo mavesi uSister White awasho ngokuqondile ukuthi ayophindwa, futhi lawo mavesi achaza ukuhlushwa okwaba khona phakathi nokubusa kobupapa kweminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha, kusukela ngesikhathi bubekwa esihlalweni sobukhosi ngonyaka ka-538, kwaze kwaba yilapho buthola ukulimala kwabo okubulalayo ngo-1798.

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

> Labo abenza okubi ngokumelene nesivumelwano uyakubonakalisa ngokubakhohlisa ngamazwi athophayo; kodwa abantu abamazi uNkulunkulu wabo bayakuqina, benze imisebenzi yobuqhawe. Nalabo abanokuqonda phakathi kwabantu bayakufundisa abaningi; nokho bayakuwa ngenkemba, nangomlilo, nangokuthunjwa, nangokuphangwa, izinsuku eziningi. Kepha lapho bewa, bayakusizwa ngosizo oluncane; kodwa abaningi bayakunamathela kubo ngamazwi athophayo. Futhi abanye balabo abanokuqonda bayakuwa, ukuze bavivinywe, bahlanzwe, benziwe mhlophe, kuze kube yisikhathi sokuphela; ngokuba kusekhona isikhathi esimisiweyo. Inkosi iyakwenza ngokwentando yayo; izoziphakamisa, izikhulise ngaphezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu, ikhulume izinto ezimangalisayo ngokumelene noNkulunkulu wonkulunkulu; futhi iyakuphumelela kuze kuphele intukuthelo; ngokuba lokho okumisiweyo kuyakwenziwa. Daniyeli 11:32–36.

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

La mavesi achaza ukuhlushwa kweNkathi Yobumnyama, bese ivesi lamashumi amathathu nesithupha likhomba ukuthi ubupapa buyochuma kuze kugcwaliseke ukuthukuthela kokuqala kukaNkulunkulu ngokumelene nombuso wasenyakatho wakwa-Israyeli ngonyaka ka-1798. UDaniyeli waqala ngokukhomba ukuthi ubupapa babekwa kanjani esihlalweni sobukhosi somhlaba, wabe esekhombisa ukuthi ubupapa basebenzisana kanjani nabantu bakaNkulunkulu, kwase kulandela ukuwa kokugcina kobupapa. Ivesi lamashumi amane kuya kwelamashumi amane nantathu kuDaniyeli ishumi nanye likhomba ukuthi ubupapa bulawula kanjani umhlaba, bese ivesi lamashumi amane nane likhomba ukuthi buyabahlupha kanjani abantu bakaNkulunkulu bezinsuku zokugcina, kwathi ivesi lamashumi amane nanhlanu likhomba ukuthi bufika kanjani ekugcineni kwabo kokugcina, kungekho noyedwa wokubusiza.

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

Igama lesiHebheru elisho “iqiniso” ladalwa yiSazi Sezilimi Esimangalisayo ngokuhlanganisa uhlamvu lokuqala, olweshumi nantathu nolokugcina lohlamvu lwamagama lwesiHebheru ukuze kwakhiwe igama elithi “iqiniso.” Ishumi nantathu liwuphawu lokuvukela, kanti elokuqala limelela elokugcina.

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

Ivesi lamashumi amathathu nanye lichaza ukuphela kweRoma yobuqaba njengombuso wesine wesiprofetho seBhayibheli, kanti ivesi lamashumi amathathu nesithupha lakhomba ukuphela kweRoma yobupapa njengombuso wesihlanu wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. Phakathi kwencazelo yokuqala yokuwa kweRoma nencazelo yokugcina yokuwa kweRoma kukhona ukuhlubuka, okumelwe ubupapa obabulala izigidi zabantu bakaNkulunkulu emlandweni ophakathi kokuqala nokuphela. Ukusetshenziswa kwala mavesi kuthwala uphawu lweqiniso.

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

Ivesi yamashumi amane kuya kwengamashumi amane nanhlanu, echazwa amavesi amashumi amathathu kuya kwangamashumi amathathu nesithupha, iqala ngokuwa kobupapa, futhi iphetha ngokuwa kobupapa. Maphakathi nomlando oqala ngo-1798 kuze kube sekupheleni komusa wokuvivinywa kukhona ukuvukela kweRoma yesiManje, ephinda ibulala abantu bakaNkulunkulu. Ukusetshenziswa kwala mavesi nakho kuthwala uphawu “lweqiniso,” futhi kuyavumelana omunye nomunye ukuze kunikezwe ofakazi ababili abamisa “iqiniso,” futhi yomibili imigqa ichaza iRoma, okuyisibonakaliso esiyo “kumisa umbono”.

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

> Futhi ngalezo zikhathi abaningi bayakusukuma bemelane nenkosi yaseningizimu; futhi nabaphangi babantu bakho bayakuziphakamisa ukuze baqinisekise umbono; kodwa bayakuwa. Daniyeli 11:14.

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

Isigameko sesiprofetho esisetshenziswa nguDaniyeli esahlukweni seshumi nanye, asisetshenziswa kuphela emavesini amashumi amathathu kuya kwamashumi amathathu nesithupha, bese futhi emavesini angamashumi amane kuya kwamashumi amane nanhlanu. Amavesi eshumi nane kuya kweleshumi nesishiyagalolunye aveza indlela iRoma yobuqaba eyathatha ngayo umbuso womhlaba, khona-ke amavesi angamashumi amabili kuya kwamashumi amabili nane aveza indlela iRoma yobuqaba eyabaphatha ngayo abantu bakaNkulunkulu, kuthi kusukela evesini lamashumi amabili nane kuya evesini lamashumi amathathu kubekwe ukuwa kweRoma yobuqaba.

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

Ivesi yeshumi nane liwukuqala kweRoma yobuqaba, kanti ivesi lamashumi amathathu liwukuphela kweRoma yobuqaba. Emlandweni omelwe phakathi nendawo, iRoma yobuqaba ikhonjiswa njengaleyo eyabethela uKristu esiphambanweni; ngaleyo ndlela, ukuvukela kwaphakathi nendawo kuveza la mavesi ngokuthi “iqiniso.” U-Alfa no-Omega ubeke uphawu lwaKhe kuyo yonke indawo esahlukweni seshumi nanye sencwadi kaDaniyeli.

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

Ivesi lamashumi amane liqukethe umlando oqala eminyakeni kaRonald Reagan, futhi ohlonza umfelandawonye owenziwa phakathi kukaMongameli wase-United States nomuntu wesono. Iphawula inkathi ethile ephetha ngokubekwa kobupapa esihlalweni sobukhosi somhlaba, njengoba kwakunjalo ngonyaka ka-538. Akusikho ukuqondana nje ukuthi uClovis, inkosi yamaFranks, okuyiFrance yanamuhla, uyisifanekiselo se-United States. UClovis wayeyisibonelo sikaReagan. UReagan wayeyisifanekiselo sobuProthestani, njengoba noClovis wayeyisifanekiselo sobuqaba.

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

Impi uClovis, iNkosi yamaFranks, aguqukela kuyo ubuKhatholika kuyo yayiyiMpi yaseTolbiac (eyaziwa nangokuthi iMpi yaseZülpich noma iMpi yaseCologne). Le mpi yenzeka ngonyaka ka-496. Ngaleso sikhathi uClovis wayengumhedeni, kodwa phakathi nempi, lapho kwakubonakala sengathi amabutho akhe ayesengozini yokunqotshwa, wakhuleka kuNkulunkulu wobuKristu wonkosikazi wakhe ongumKhatholika ecela usizo, futhi wenza isifungo sokuthi uma ephuma enqobile, wayeyoguqukela ebuKristwini. UClovis wayinqoba impi, futhi ngenxa yalokho yena kanye nengxenye enkulu yamaqhawe akhe angamaFranks baguqukela ebuKhatholikeni, kwaphawula umcimbi obalulekile ekwenziweni kwamaFranks amaKristu.

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

URonald Reagan, owathi ungumProthestani, wakuveza ukuthi isisusa sakhe sokwakha umfelandawonye oyimfihlo nopapa waseRoma kwakuwukuthi wayeqinisekile enhliziyweni yakhe ukuthi iSoviet Union yayiyumphikukristu wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. Empini kaReagan yokulwa neSoviet Union yangaphambili, engakuqapheli ukudideka kwakhe mayelana nokuthi ungubani umphikukristu, wazihlanganisa nomphikukristu.

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

> “Labo abadidekayo ekuqondeni kwabo izwi, abehluleka ukubona incazelo yomphikukristu, ngokuqinisekile bayozibeka ngasohlangothini lomphikukristu.” Kress Collection, 105.

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

I-United States iyisibonakaliso sesiprofetho esinezingxenye ezimbili, njengoba simelelwe yizimpondo ezimbili zesilo esivela emhlabeni. NeFrance nayo iyisibonakaliso sesiprofetho esinezingxenye ezimbili, njengoba imelelwe yiSodoma neGibhithe kuSambulo isahluko seshumi nanye. IFrance iyingane yezibulo yobupapa, futhi uReagan, omele i-United States, wayengowokuqala emakhosini ayishumi eSambulo isahluko seshumi nesikhombisa ezinsukwini zokugcina ukuphinga nesifebe saseThire, esasikhohliwe kusukela ngo-1798. Sasikhohliwe ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1798, kodwa siqala ukukhunjulwa ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989.

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

UClovis, umholi waseFrance, waphawula ukuqala kwesikhathi esaholela ekubekweni kobupapa esihlalweni sobukhosi ngo-538, lapho-ke ubupapa baphasisa umthetho weSonto eMkhandlwini wase-Orleans. UReagan, umholi wase-United States, waphawula ukuqala kwesikhathi esiholela ekutheni ubupapa buphinde futhi bubekwe esihlalweni sobukhosi somhlaba ngomthetho weSonto osuzofika maduze.

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

IFrance ingamandla aphindwe kabili abeka ubupapa esihlalweni sobukhosi ngo-538, futhi iFrance, ngoJenene kaNapoleon uBerthier, yasusa ubupapa esihlalweni sobukhosi ngo-1798. I-United States ibeka ubupapa esihlalweni sobukhosi ezinsukwini zokugcina, futhi njengenkosi ehamba phambili phakathi kwamakhosi ayishumi, i-United States ekugcineni “iyomenza incithakalo futhi abe yize, futhi iyakudla inyama yakhe, imshise ngomlilo.”

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

Ivesi lamashumi amane liqukethe umlando wevesi lamashumi amathathu nanye, futhi lichaza ukuthi umsebenzi wokubuyisela ubupapa esihlalweni sobukhosi somhlaba umelwe yisikhathi esiqala ngoRonald Reagan, siphele ngomongameli wokugcina wase-United States. Lowo mongameli wokugcina uyobe efanekiswe nguReagan, ngokuba uJesu uhlale ebonisa ukuphela ngesiqalo.

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

Evesini zokuqala kuDaniyeli isahluko 11, lowo mlando wokuprofetha uvezwa khona (ivesi 2), sithola umlando owandulela umlando wombuso waseGrisi. IGrisi iyisifanekiselo seZizwe Ezihlangene, kanye nohulumeni womhlaba oyedwa wamakhosi ayishumi esAmbulo 17. Ivesi 3 kuDaniyeli 11 lingenisa u-Alexander Omkhulu, kanti ivesi 2 limelela umlando owandulela uhulumeni womhlaba oyedwa ezinsukwini zokugcina.

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

Evesini lokuqala, uGabriyeli uvele nje abonise ukuthi wayemqinise uDariyu ekuqaleni kombuso wamaMede namaPheresiya, kodwa uGabriyeli wayefike kuDaniyeli esahlukweni seshumi, lapho uKoresi umPheresiya, hhayi uDariyu umMede, ayebusa ngaleso sikhathi. Ngemva kokuhlanganisa ngokucacile lowo mbuso njengombuso wesiprofetho onezingxenye ezimbili wamaMede namaPheresiya (njengoba kunjalo ngeFrance ne-United States), uGabriyeli use ethula umlando owandulela umbuso womhlaba wonke ka-Alexander Omkhulu.

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

> Manje ngizokukhombisa iqiniso. Bheka, kuyakusukela kusavela amakhosi amathathu ePheresiya; kuthi owesine abe nokuceba okukhulu kakhulu kunabo bonke; futhi ngamandla akhe ngenxa yengcebo yakhe uyakuvusa bonke ukuba bamelane nombuso waseGrisi. Daniyeli 11:2.

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

U-Alfa no-Omega ngaso sonke isikhathi kubonisa ukuphela kwento kanye nokuqala kwento, futhi ivesi lesibili likhuluma ngomlando owandulela ukuphoqelelwa kombuso womhlaba owodwa, njengoba umelelwa umbuso ka-Alexander Omkhulu waseGrisi. Ivesi lesibili liyingxenye yesiprofetho ephathelene ne-United States, yona, njengamandla anezimpondo ezimbili ezinsukwini zokugcina njengoba ifanekiselwa amandla aphindwe kabili amaMede namaPheresiya, nangaseFrance. Leli vesi likhomba amakhosi ayeyofuzisela omongameli base-United States ezinsukwini zokugcina, ababeyokuvuka ngaphambi kombuso womhlaba owodwa ophindwe kathathu kadrako, wesilo nowomprofethi wamanga. UClovis wayehambisana noReagan njengomongameli wokuqala ekuqaleni komlando oholela ekubuyiseleni umphikukristu esihlalweni sobukhosi.

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

Kusukela esikhathini sikaKoresi, kuDaniyeli ishumi nanye, kwakuyovela amakhosi amathathu, kulandele elesine, elalicebe kakhulu kunawo wonke. UDariyu wayeyinkosi yokuqala yoMbuso wamaMede namaPheresiya, futhi uKoresi, owayebusa ngesikhathi uDaniyeli ethola umlando kuGabriyeli, wayeyinkosi yesibili. Kwakuyolandela uKoresi amakhosi amane, ngakho inkosi yesine kulawo ayelandelayo yayiyoba yinkosi yesithupha.

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

Inkosi yesithupha yayiyoba yinkosi ecebe kakhulu, futhi umongameli ocebile (inkosi) wayeyovusa bonke bamelane nombuso waseGrisi. Omongameli kusukela kuReagan babenguBush wokuqala, uClinton, uBush wesibili, u-Obama; ngakho-ke inkosi yesithupha, futhi ecebe kakhulu, yayiyoba nguTrump. Leyo nkosi (umongameli) yayiyovusa “umbuso waseGrisi” (abamhlaba wonke). Incazelo yegama lesiHeberu elihunyushwe ngokuthi “vusa,” ifundisa kakhulu.

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

Igama lesiHebheru elihunyushwe ngokuthi “vusa,” kulelo vesi, liyimpande yasendulo elisho “ukuvusa”, noma “ukuphaphamisa”. Emlandweni ofanekiswe ngumbusi wesine emva kukaKoresi, kwakuyovuswa umongameli ocebe kakhulu kunabo bonke abanye omongameli, futhi ngamandla akhe nangokubusa kwakhe kwakuyolethwa “ukuvuka” okumelene neGrisi. IGrisi, njengoba iyisifanekiselo sobumbumbulu bomhlaba wonke, ubuqhubekelaphambili, kanye “ne-woke-ism,” yayiyobekwa obala emlandweni womongameli wesithupha, ocebe kakhulu. Wayeyovusa wonke umbuso womhlaba ukuze uqaphele impikiswano ye-“woke-ism” yobuqhubekelaphambili kanye nokubusa komhlaba wonke.

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

Ukuvuka ekuqaphelisweni kokunyakaza okuqhubekela phambili kwe-“woke-ism,” okulethwa ngesikhathi sobumongameli bukamongameli ocebe kunabo bonke, kwenzeka ngophondo lwamaRiphabhulikhi, ngaso leso sikhathi lapho ukuvuka kwezintombi eziyishumi kwenzeka ophondweni lwamaProthestani.

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

Sizoqhubeka nesifundo sethu sikaDaniyeli isahluko 11 ivesi 40 esihlokweni esilandelayo.

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

> “Nakuba kukho ukuhlehla okusabalele ekukholweni nasekuzinikeleni kokwesaba uNkulunkulu, bakhona abalandeli bakaKristu beqiniso kulawa mabandla. Ngaphambi kokuvakasha kokugcina kwezahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu phezu komhlaba, kuyakuba khona phakathi kwabantu beNkosi ukuvuselelwa kokumesaba uNkulunkulu kwasekuqaleni okungakaze kubonwe kusukela ezikhathini zabaphostoli. UMoya namandla kaNkulunkulu kuyakuthululwa phezu kwabantwana baKhe. Ngaleso sikhathi abaningi bayakuzihlukanisa kulawo mabandla lapho ukuthanda leli zwe sekuthathe indawo yokuthanda uNkulunkulu nezwi laKhe. Abaningi, kokubili kubafundisi nakubantu, bayakwamukela ngenjabulo lawo maqiniso amakhulu uNkulunkulu abangele ukuba amenyezelwe ngalesi sikhathi ukuze kulungiselelwe abantu ukuza kwesibili kweNkosi. Isitha semiphefumulo sifisa ukuvimbela lo msebenzi; futhi ngaphambi kokuba kufike isikhathi salolu nyakazo, siyakuzama ukuwuvimba ngokwethula umgunyathi. Kulawo mabandla esingawafaka ngaphansi kwamandla aso okukhohlisa siyakwenza kubonakale sengathi isibusiso esikhethekile sikaNkulunkulu siyathululwa; kuyakubonakala lokho okucatshangwa njengentshisekelo enkulu kwezenkolo. Izixuku ziyakujabula ngokwedlulele zithi uNkulunkulu ubasebenzela ngokumangalisayo, kanti umsebenzi ungowomunye umoya. Ngaphansi kwesimo sobuzenkolo, uSathane uyakufuna ukwandisa ithonya lakhe phezu kwezwe lobuKristu.” The Great Controversy, 464.
