We have been identifying the war in heaven described in chapter twelve of the book of Revelation. Employing the principle of Christ’s character that is Alpha and Omega, we have approached the war in heaven in chapter twelve as a typification of the war in heaven that occurs in the “last days.” The expression “the last days” in the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy means the last days of the investigative judgment.

Besilokhu sikhomba impi ezulwini echazwe esahlukweni seshumi nambili sencwadi yesAmbulo. Sisebenzisa umgomo wesimilo sikaKristu esingu-Alfa no-Omega, siye sayibheka impi yasezulwini esahlukweni seshumi nambili njengesifanekiselo sempi yasezulwini eyenzeka “ezinsukwini zokugcina.” Inkulumo ethi “ezinsukwini zokugcina” eBhayibhelini naseMoyeni Wesiprofetho isho izinsuku zokugcina zokwahlulela okuphenyayo.

We have identified the three satanic powers of chapter twelve and thirteen, not as powers that find their fulfillment in past history, but as the modern fulfillment of those powers that lead the world to Armageddon. The dragon of chapter twelve is the United Nations, the Catholic church who is to be resurrected at the Sunday law in the United States, is the sea beast of chapter thirteen, and the earth beast with two horns is the United States.

Sizihlonzile iziphathimandla ezintathu zikaSathane zezahluko zeshumi nambili neshumi nantathu, hhayi njengeziphathimandla ezathola ukugcwaliseka kwazo emlandweni owedlule, kodwa njengokugcwaliseka kwesimanje kwalezo ziphathimandla eziholela umhlaba e-Armagedoni. Udrako wesahluko seshumi nambili yiZizwe Ezihlangene, ibandla lamaKatolika, elizovuswa ngesikhathi somthetho weSonto e-United States, liyisilo esivela olwandle sesahluko seshumi nantathu, kanti isilo somhlaba esinezimpondo ezimbili yi-United States.

We have been identifying that the warfare customarily understood in chapter twelve as exclusively a representation of Lucifer’s rebellion in heaven, actually illustrates a war that is about to happen in the earthly heavens, beginning at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. We have taken time to identify that there is a testing process illustrated from Revelation thirteen, verses eleven through seventeen, that involves recognizing the formation of the image of the beast. The image of the beast represents the combination of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. When the church is in control, it then uses the state to enforce its doctrines and persecute those it defines as heretics. The worldwide testing process associated with the formation of the image of the beast, is first accomplished within the United States. The prophetic characteristics of each of the two testing processes, is essentially the same in either the United States or the world.

Sesikhombe ukuthi impi evamise ukuqondwa esahlukweni seshumi nambili njengemelela kuphela ukuvukela kukaLusifa ezulwini, empeleni iveza impi esezokwenzeka emazulwini omhlaba, iqale ngomthetho weSonto osusondele ukufika e-United States. Sithathe isikhathi sakhomba ukuthi kukhona uhlelo lokuvivinya olufanekiswe kusAmbulo isahluko seshumi nantathu, amavesi eleshumi nanye kuya kweleshumi nesikhombisa, olubandakanya ukuqaphela ukwakheka komfanekiso wesilo. Umfanekiso wesilo umelela ukuhlanganiswa kwebandla nombuso, ibandla liphethe ukulawula lobo budlelwano. Nxa ibandla selilawula, bese lisebenzisa umbuso ukuphoqelela izimfundiso zalo nokuhlupha labo elibachaza njengabahlubuki. Uhlelo lokuvivinya lomhlaba wonke oluhambisana nokwakheka komfanekiso wesilo, luqale lufeziwe ngaphakathi kwe-United States. Izimpawu zesiprofetho zalezi zinhlelo zombili zokuvivinya, ngokuyisisekelo ziyefana, kungaba kuse-United States noma emhlabeni.

We pointed to the two identical periods of twelve hundred and sixty days that preceded and followed the cross as a second witness to the identification of two consecutive image of the beast testing processes at the end of the world. The formation of the image of the beast in the United States between September 11, 2001, and the soon-coming Sunday law, precedes the formation of the image of the beast in the United Nations after the soon-coming Sunday law. The twelve hundred and sixty days of Christ’s ministry from His baptism to the cross preceded the twelve hundred and sixty days of His disciple’s ministry that followed the cross. The two lines, both containing two periods that represent identical tests in each period, represent the theme of either the image of Christ or the image of the antichrist.

Sakhomba ezikhathini ezimbili ezifanayo zezinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha ezandulela nezelandela isiphambano njengobufakazi besibili bokuhlonza izinqubo ezimbili ezilandelanayo zokuvivinywa kwesithombe sesilo ekupheleni kwezwe. Ukwakheka kwesithombe sesilo e-United States phakathi kukaSepthemba 11, 2001, nomthetho weSonto osuzayo maduze, kwandulela ukwakheka kwesithombe sesilo eNhlanganweni Yezizwe Ezihlangene emva komthetho weSonto osuzayo maduze. Izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha zenkonzo kaKristu kusukela ekubhapathizweni Kwakhe kuze kube yisiphambano zandulela izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha zenkonzo yabafundi Bakhe ezalandela isiphambano. Le migqa emibili, yomibili iqukethe izikhathi ezimbili ezimelela izivivinyo ezifanayo esikhathini ngasinye, imelela isihloko sokuthi kungaba yisithombe sikaKristu noma isithombe somphikukristu.

The twelve hundred and sixty days of Christ’s ministry that ended at the cross, began when the Holy Spirit descended at His baptism, aligning with the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descending on September 11, 2001.

Izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha zenkonzo kaKristu ezaphela esiphambanweni zaqala lapho uMoya oNgcwele ehla phezu Kwakhe ekubhapathizweni Kwakhe, zivumelana nengelosi enamandla yesAmbulo 18 eyehla ngoSepthemba 11, 2001.

> “Now comes the word that I have declared that New York is to be swept away by a tidal wave? This I have never said. I have said, as I looked at the great buildings going up there, story after story, ‘What terrible scenes will take place when the Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth! Then the words of Revelation 18:1–3 will be fulfilled.’ The whole of the eighteenth chapter of Revelation is a warning of what is coming on the earth. But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God’s power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the Lord, one touch of his mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine.” Review and Herald, July 5, 1906.

> “Manje sekufika yini izwi engilimemezele lokuthi iNew York iyokhukhulwa yigagasi elikhulu lolwandle? Lokhu angikaze ngikusho. Engikushilo ukuthi, njengoba ngangibuka izakhiwo ezinkulu ezazakhiwa khona, isitezi phezu kwesinye, ‘Yeka izigigaba ezesabekayo eziyokwenzeka lapho iNkosi iyakusukuma ukuzamazamisa umhlaba ngokwesabeka! Khona-ke amazwi eSambulo 18:1–3 ayogcwaliseka.’ Isahluko sonke seshumi nesishiyagalombili seSambulo siyisexwayiso ngalokho okuzayo emhlabeni. Kodwa anginakho ukukhanya okuqondile maqondana nalokho okuzayo phezu kweNew York, ngaphandle kokuthi ngiyazi ukuthi ngolunye usuku izakhiwo ezinkulu khona ziyodilizwa ngokuphendulwa nokugumbuqelwa kwamandla kaNkulunkulu. Ngokukhanya engikunikiwe, ngiyazi ukuthi ukubhujiswa kusemhlabeni. Izwi elilodwa elivela eNkosini, ukuthinta okukodwa kwamandla ayo amakhulu, futhi lezi zakhiwo ezinkulu ziyokuwa. Kuyokwenzeka izigigaba ezesabeka kwazo esingenakuzicabanga.” Review and Herald, Julayi 5, 1906.

The period of twelve hundred and sixty days in the history of Christ, that ended at the cross, represents the period of time that concludes at the soon-coming Sunday law. The cross typifies the Sunday law. Both are symbols of judgment. Both represent the coming of national ruin for the nation where the event of judgment takes place. Both took place in the glorious land of Judah. In Christ’s history it was the literal glorious land of Judah, and at the Sunday law it is the spiritual glorious land of Judah, the United States of America. At the cross, Christ was lifted up for the purpose of drawing all men to Himself.

Isikhathi sezinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha emlandweni kaKristu, esaphela esiphambanweni, simela isikhathi esiphetha emthethweni weSonto ozofika maduzane. Isiphambano sifanekisa umthetho weSonto. Kokubili kuyizimpawu zokwahlulela. Kokubili kumela ukuza kokubhujiswa kwesizwe ezweni lapho kwenzeka khona umcimbi wokwahlulela. Kokubili kwenzeka ezweni elikhazimulayo lakwaJuda. Emlandweni kaKristu kwakuyizwe elikhazimulayo langokoqobo lakwaJuda, kanti emthethweni weSonto kuyizwe elikhazimulayo ngokomoya lakwaJuda, i-United States of America. Esiphambanweni, uKristu waphakanyiswa ngenjongo yokudonsela bonke abantu kuye.

> And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. John 12:32, 33.

> Mina, uma ngiphakanyiswa ngisuswe emhlabeni, ngiyakuzidonsela kimi zonke izintu. Wakusho lokhu, ekhombisa ukufa ayeyakufa ngakho. Johane 12:32, 33.

At the Sunday law the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand are lifted up in order to draw all men to Christ.

Ngomthetho weSonto, kuphakanyiswa ifulegi labayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane, ukuze kudonselwe bonke abantu kuKristu.

> And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. Isaiah 5:26.

> Futhi uyakuphakamisela izizwe ezikude ifulege, azishayele ikhwelo zisuka emkhawulweni womhlaba; bhekani, ziyakuza ngejubane, zishesha. Isaya 5:26.

The period of twelve hundred and sixty days in the history of Christ that follows the cross, ends with Michael standing up at the stoning of Stephen.

Isikhathi sezinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha emlandweni kaKristu esilandela isiphambano, siphetha ngokuthi uMikayeli asukume ekukhonhlweni kukaStefanu.

> But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Acts 7:55, 56.

> Kepha yena, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wagqolozela ezulwini, wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, noJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, wase ethi: Bhekani, ngibona amazulu evulekile, neNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu. IzEnzo 7:55, 56.

The symbolic forty-two months of the last image of the beast testing time, ends with Michael standing up and marks the close of human probation.

Izinyanga ezingamashumi amane nambili ezingokomfanekiso zesikhathi sokuvivinywa komfanekiso wokugcina wesilo ziphela lapho uMikayeli esukuma, futhi lokho kuphawula ukuphela kwesikhathi sokulingwa kwabantu.

> And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Daniel 12:1.

> Ngaleso sikhathi uMikayeli uyakusukuma, inkosana enkulu emele abantwana babantu bakho; kuyakuba khona isikhathi sokuhlupheka esingakaze sibe khona selokhu kwaba khona isizwe kuze kube yileso sikhathi; futhi ngaleso sikhathi abantu bakho bayakusindiswa, wonke oyofunyanwa ebhaliwe encwadini. Daniyeli 12:1.

The complete history of both image to the beast testing processes, contains other internal prophetic witnesses. Correctly understood, and I acknowledge few persons do understand this truth; but the first image of the beast testing process that is fulfilled in the United States, began on September 11, 2001, when the third woe arrived into history. The Sunday law where that first image of the beast testing process ends, marks the arrival of the third woe in judgment against the United States for the passage of the Sunday law. At that time the arrival of the third woe fulfills the angering of the nations, in fulfillment of Revelation eleven, and verse eighteen and the first mention of Islam’s role to anger the nations in Bible prophecy.

Umlando ophelele wazo zombili izinqubo zokuvivinywa zesithombe sesilo uqukethe nobunye ubufakazi bangaphakathi obungokwesiprofetho. Uma lokhu kuqondwa kahle—futhi ngiyavuma ukuthi bambalwa abantu abaliqondayo leli qiniso—inqubo yokuqala yokuvivinywa kwesithombe sesilo, egcwaliseka e-United States, yaqala ngoSepthemba 11, 2001, lapho umaye wesithathu ungena emlandweni. Umthetho weSonto, lapho leyo nqubo yokuqala yokuvivinywa kwesithombe sesilo iphela khona, uphawula ukufika komaye wesithathu ekwahluleleni i-United States ngenxa yokuphasiswa komthetho weSonto. Ngaleso sikhathi ukufika komaye wesithathu kugcwalisa ukuthukutheliswa kwezizwe, ekugcwalisekeni kweSambulo isahluko 11, nevesi 18, kanye nokukhulunywa kokuqala ngendima yobuSulumane ekuthukutheliseni izizwe esiprofethweni seBhayibheli.

> And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:12.

> Futhi uyakuba ngumuntu wasendle; isandla sakhe siyakuba phezu kwawo wonke umuntu, nesandla sawo wonke umuntu sibe phezu kwakhe; futhi uyakuhlala ebusweni babo bonke abafowabo. UGenesise 16:12.

The soon coming Sunday law is the ending of the first testing period, and also the beginning of the last testing period. The last testing period ends when human probation closes, and at that point in time the four winds, which are a symbol of the third woe, are fully released.

Umthetho weSonto ozofika maduze uyisiphetho sesikhathi sokuqala sokuvivinywa, futhi futhi uyisiqalo sesikhathi sokugcina sokuvivinywa. Isikhathi sokugcina sokuvivinywa siphela lapho isikhathi sokuhlolwa komuntu sivala, futhi ngaleso sikhathi imimoya emine, eyisibonakaliso sosizi lwesithathu, idedelwa ngokuphelele.

> “When the Saviour saw in the Jewish people a nation divorced from God, He saw also a professed Christian Church united to the world and the papacy. And as He stood upon Olivet, weeping over Jerusalem till the sun sank behind the western hills, so He is weeping over and pleading with sinners in these last moments of time. Soon He will say to the angels who are holding the four winds, ‘Let the plagues loose; let darkness, destruction, and death come upon the transgressors of my law.’ Will He be obliged to say to those who have had great light and knowledge, as He said to the Jews, ‘If thou hadst known, even thou at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes’?” Review and Herald, October 8, 1901.

> “Lapho uMsindisi ebona kubantu bamaJuda isizwe esahlukanisiwe noNkulunkulu, wabona futhi iBandla elizibiza ngokuthi lingelobuKristu lihlangene nezwe kanye nobupapa. Futhi njengoba wayemi eNtabeni Yeminqumo, ekhala ngeJerusalema kwaze kwashona ilanga emva kwamagquma asentshonalanga, kanjalo uyakhala futhi uyancenga izoni kule mizuzwana yokugcina yesikhathi. Ngokushesha uzothi ezingelosini ezibambe imimoya emine, ‘Dedelani izinhlupho; makufike ubumnyama, ukubhujiswa, nokufa phezu kwabaphula umthetho wami.’ Ingabe uyophoqeleka ukuba athi kulabo ababenokukhanya nolwazi olukhulu, njengoba asho kumaJuda, ‘Uma ubuwazi, wena uqobo, okungenani ngalolu suku lwakho, izinto eziphathelene nokuthula kwakho! kodwa manje zifihliwe emehlweni akho’?” Review and Herald, October 8, 1901.

In the history of Christ, the first waymark of the first period of twelve hundred and sixty days began at His baptism, which was a symbol of His death and resurrection. That period ended at His death and resurrection, which simultaneously began the last period of twelve hundred and sixty days. That period ended with the death and promised resurrection of Stephen.

Emlandweni kaKristu, uphawu lokuqala lwendlela lwesikhathi sokuqala sezinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha lwaqala ekubhapathizweni kwakhe, okwakuwuphawu lokufa nokuvuka kwakhe. Leso sikhathi saphela ekufeni nasekuvukeni kwakhe, okwathi ngaso leso sikhathi kwaqala isikhathi sokugcina sezinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha. Leso sikhathi saphela ngokufa nokuvuka okuthembisiwe kukaStefanu.

The line of history that represents the image of Christ, has the identical prophetic structure as the line of history that represents the image of antichrist.

Umgqa womlando omele isithombe sikaKristu, unesakhiwo esifanayo sesiprofetho njengomgqa womlando omele isithombe somphikukristu.

In the Scriptures, Christ is the true king of the north, and it has always been Satan’s purpose to overthrow and counterfeit Christ’s royal authority.

EMibhalweni, uKristu uyinkosi yeqiniso yasenyakatho, futhi bekulokhu kuyinjongo kaSathane ukuketula nokulingisa ngamanga igunya lobukhosi likaKristu.

> How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isaiah 14:12–14.

> Yeka kanjani ezulwini, wena Lusifa, ndodana yokusa! unqunywe kanjani phansi emhlabathini, wena owawenza izizwe zibe buthakathaka! Ngokuba wathi enhliziyweni yakho, Ngiyakukhuphukela ezulwini, ngiphakamise isihlalo sami sobukhosi ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; ngihlale futhi entabeni yebandla, ezinhlangothini zenyakatho; ngiyakukhuphukela ngaphezu kwezindawo eziphakemeyo zamafu; ngibe njengoPhezukonke. U-Isaya 14:12–14.

The “sides of the north” is Jerusalem, the city of the great king, where His sanctuary is.

“Amacala asenyakatho” yiJerusalema, umuzi wenkosi enkulu, lapho isikhungo saYo esingcwele sikhona khona.

> A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalms 48:1, 2.

> Ingoma neHubo lamadodana kaKora. UMENKULUNKULU mkhulu, efanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu, entabeni yobungcwele bakhe. Inhle ngokuma kwayo, iyintokozo yomhlaba wonke, yiNtaba iSiyoni, ezinhlangothini zenyakatho, umuzi weNkosi enkulu. AmaHubo 48:1, 2.

In the Scriptures, the earthly “kings of the north,” are always represented as enemies of the people of God. They represent Satan’s effort to counterfeit the true king of the north, who is seated upon his throne in Jerusalem, which is the sides of the north. The line that represents two testing processes of the image of the beast, which runs parallel to the line of two testing processes of the image of Christ, has a third witness in the theme of Satan’s effort to be the king of the north who rules over God’s people.

EmiBhalweni, “amakhosi asenyakatho” asemhlabeni amelwe njalo njengezitha zabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Amele umzamo kaSathane wokulingisa inkosi yangempela yasenyakatho, ehlezi esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi eJerusalema, okuyizinhlangothi zenyakatho. Umugqa omele izinqubo ezimbili zokuvivinywa zesithombe sesilo, ohambisana ngokufanayo nomugqa wezinqubo ezimbili zokuvivinywa zesithombe sikaKristu, unobufakazi besithathu esihlokweni somzamo kaSathane wokuba inkosi yasenyakatho ebusa phezu kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu.

In 723 BC, the king of the north, as represented by Assyria, took the northern ten kingdoms of Israel into slavery in fulfillment of Leviticus twenty-six’s “seven times.” Twelve hundred and sixty years later, in 538, the king of the north, represented at that point in history by literal pagan Rome, surrendered the throne to papal Rome, who then became the spiritual king of the north for another twelve hundred and sixty years. That second period of twelve hundred and sixty years ended in 1798, when the spiritual Roman king of the north received a deadly wound. When the papacy received its deadly wound in 1798, it typified the close of human probation, when the resurrected papacy finally and forever comes to his end with none to help.

Ngo-723 BC, inkosi yasenyakatho, njengoba yayimelwe yi-Asiriya, yathumba imibuso eyishumi yasenyakatho yakwa-Israyeli yayiyisa ebugqilini, kugcwaliseka “izikhathi eziyisikhombisa” zikaLevitikusi isahluko samashumi amabili nesithupha. Eminyakeni eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha kamuva, ngo-538, inkosi yasenyakatho, ngaleso sikhathi emlandweni imelwe yiRoma yobuqaba engokoqobo, yanikela isihlalo sobukhosi kuRoma wobupapa, yona yase iba yinkosi yasenyakatho ngokomoya eminye iminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha. Leyo nkathi yesibili yeminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha yaphela ngo-1798, lapho inkosi yasenyakatho engokomoya yaseRoma yamukela inxeba elibulalayo. Lapho upapa emukela inxeba lalo elibulalayo ngo-1798, kwakuyisibonakaliso sohlobo sokuvalwa komusa wesintu, lapho ubupapa obuvusiwe ekugcineni nangunaphakade bufinyelela ekupheleni kwabo, kungekho noyedwa wokulusiza.

> And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Daniel 11:45, 12:1.

> Futhi uyakumisa amatende esigodlo sakhe phakathi kolwandle entabeni engcwele ekhazimulayo; nokho uyakufika ekupheleni kwakhe, kungabi khona oyakumsiza. Futhi ngaleso sikhathi uMikayeli uyakusukuma, inkosana enkulu emele abantwana babantu bakho; futhi kuyakuba khona isikhathi sokuhlupheka esingakaze sibe khona selokhu kwaba khona isizwe kwaze kwaba yileso sikhathi; futhi ngaleso sikhathi abantu bakho bayakukhululwa, wonke otholakala ebhaliwe encwadini. Daniyeli 11:45, 12:1.

The “seven times,” of Leviticus twenty-six, which equates to twenty-five hundred and twenty years, identifies Assyria as the king of the north in 723 BC, and as the king of the north he conquered the “northern” kingdom of ancient Israel. From that point on, paganism, beginning with Assyria on to pagan Rome, trampled down God’s people, the “host” of Daniel 8:13, for twelve hundred and sixty years. In 538, the literal Roman king of the north, was prophetically conquered by the spiritual Roman king of the north, who trampled down God’s spiritual Israel for another twelve hundred and sixty years. The second period of trampling down ended with the spiritual Roman king of the north receiving his deadly wound in 1798.

“Izikhathi eziyisikhombisa,” zikaLevitikusi amashumi amabili nesithupha, ezilingana neminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amahlanu namashumi amabili, zikhomba i-Asiriya njengenkosi yasenyakatho ngo-723 BC, futhi njengenkosi yasenyakatho yanqoba umbuso “wasenyakatho” wakwa-Israyeli wasendulo. Kusukela kuleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, ubuqaba, buqala nge-Asiriya buye eRoma lobuqaba, banyathela phansi abantu bakaNkulunkulu, “ibutho” likaDaniyeli 8:13, iminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha. Ngo-538, inkosi yasenyakatho eyiRoma yangokoqobo yanqotshwa ngokwesiprofetho yinkosi yasenyakatho eyiRoma yokomoya, eyanyathela phansi u-Israyeli kaNkulunkulu wokomoya eminye iminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha. Isikhathi sesibili sokunyathela phansi saphela lapho inkosi yasenyakatho eyiRoma yokomoya yamukela inxeba layo elibulalayo ngo-1798.

In the line of the image of Christ, the center point is the cross, where death is identified. In the two periods of the test of the formation of the image of the beast, the center point is the death of the earth beast. In the line of the counterfeit king of the north, the center point is the death of the literal Roman king of the north.

Emgqeni womfanekiso kaKristu, iphuzu eliyisikhungo yisiphambano, lapho ukufa kubonakaliswa khona. Ezikhathini ezimbili zokuhlolwa kokwakhiwa komfanekiso wesilo, iphuzu eliyisikhungo ukufa kwesilo somhlaba. Emgqeni wenkosi yomgunyathi yasenyakatho, iphuzu eliyisikhungo ukufa kwenkosi yangokoqobo yaseRoma yasenyakatho.

These lines represent three biblical witnesses, which each contains two sequential periods of time within one period of time. Each center point is marked by physical death, or death of a kingdom of Bible prophecy. With Christ the center point was His death and resurrection. With the image of the beast the center point is the death of the earth beast, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy at the Sunday law. With the line of the counterfeit king of the north, the center point represents the death of the literal Roman king of the north, the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

Le migqa imelela ofakazi abathathu baseBhayibhelini, ngayinye yazo iqukethe izikhathi ezimbili ezilandelanayo ngaphakathi kwesikhathi esisodwa. Iphuzu ngalinye eliphakathi liphawulwa ukufa kwangokoqobo, noma ukufa kombuso wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. KuKristu iphuzu eliphakathi kwakungukufa nokuvuka kwaKhe. Emfanekisweni wesilo, iphuzu eliphakathi liwukufa kwesilo sasemhlabeni, umbuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli emthethweni weSonto. Emugqeni wenkosi yamanga yasenyakatho, iphuzu eliphakathi limelela ukufa kwenkosi yangokoqobo yaseRoma yasenyakatho, umbuso wesine wesiprofetho seBhayibheli.

The two witnesses of Revelation eleven, according to Sister White in The Great Controversy, represent the Word of God. Christ is the Word of God. Those two witnesses were given power to prophesy for a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. They were then slain in the street, and did not arise for three days and a half. “A thousand two hundred and threescore days,” and “three days and a half” are both symbols of the wilderness period of twelve hundred and sixty years. They began with an empowerment where they prophesied clothed in sackcloth that ended in death. Then for the same prophetic period they were silent and clothed with death, until they were resurrected to present the warning of the third angel that announces the close of probation.

Ofakazi ababili besAmbulo isahluko seshumi nanye, ngokukaDadewethu White encwadini ethi The Great Controversy, bamele iZwi likaNkulunkulu. UKristu uyiZwi likaNkulunkulu. Labo fakazi ababili banikwa amandla okuprofetha izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha, bembethe indwangu yamasaka. Base bebulelwa emgwaqweni, futhi abazange bavuke izinsuku ezintathu nengxenye. “Izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha,” kanye “nezinsuku ezintathu nengxenye,” kokubili kuyizimpawu zenkathi yasehlane yeminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha. Baqala ngokunikwa amandla lapho baprofetha bembethe indwangu yamasaka, okwagcina ngokufa. Khona-ke, phakathi naleso sikhathi esifanayo sesiprofetho, bathula futhi bambathiswa ukufa, kwaze kwaba yilapho bevuswa ukuze bethule isixwayiso sengwezi yesithathu esimemezela ukuvalwa komusa.

These four prophetic lines equate to four witnesses. The prophetic structure of each of the four witnesses is identical. The periods of time of each of the eight periods, with the exception of September 11, 2001, to the soon-coming Sunday law, which is found in the four lines are prophetically identical. Every center point represents some type of death. Two of the lines address Christ, either as His image, or as the Word of God. The other two lines represent the antichrist, either as his desire to counterfeit Christ as king of the north, or to counterfeit Christ’s system of government.

Lemigqaqo emine yesiprofetho ilingana nofakazi abane. Isakhiwo sesiprofetho sofakazi ngamunye kulaba abane siyefana ngokuphelele. Izikhathi zesikhathi zazo zonke izinkathi eziyisishiyagalombili, ngaphandle kwenkathi esukela kuSepthemba 11, 2001, iye emthethweni weSonto osuzofika maduze, otholakala kule migqa emine, ziyefana ngokwesiprofetho. Yonke indawo emaphakathi imelela uhlobo oluthile lokufa. Emibili yale migqa ikhuluma ngoKristu, kungaba ngomfanekiso waKhe, noma njengeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Eminye emibili imelela umphikukristu, kungaba ngesifiso sakhe sokulingisa uKristu njengenkosi yasenyakatho, noma sokulingisa uhlelo lukaKristu lokubusa.

We will try to bring together the one hundred and forty-four thousand with the battle in the first heaven in our next article. Dear reader, or listener: Whether you refuse to see these truths, or you do see them, it needs to be pointed out that the information that is being presented in all these articles, is identified and thereafter supported and sustained through the application of employing the beginning of a thing in order to identify the end of a thing. This is the prophetic signature of Alpha and Omega, and is a large element of the Revelation of Jesus Christ that is now being unsealed.

Esihlokweni sethu esilandelayo sizozama ukuhlanganisa abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane nenkulungwane nempi ezulwini lokuqala. Mfundi othandekayo, noma mlaleli: Noma wenqaba ukubona la maqiniso, noma uwabona, kufanele kuqondiswe ukuthi ulwazi olwethulwa kuzo zonke lezi zihloko luyabonakala, bese lusekelwa futhi luqiniswa ngokusetshenziswa komgomo wokusebenzisa ukuqala kwento ukuze kukhonjwe ukuphela kwento. Lona ngumsayino wesiprofetho ka-Alpha no-Omega, futhi uyingxenye enkulu yeSambulo sikaJesu Kristu manje esesuswa uphawu.
