When the United States enforces the soon-coming Sunday law it will cease to be the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy and transition into one third of the threefold union of Modern Rome. The president who enforces the Sunday law will be the last president, and he will be a Republican president. This is established upon two witnesses.

Lapho i-United States iqalisa ukuphoqelela umthetho weSonto osuseduze ukufika, iyoyeka ukuba umbuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli, futhi idlulele ekubeni ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yomfelandawonye ophindwe kathathu weRoma yanamuhla. Umongameli oqalisa ukuphoqelela umthetho weSonto uyoba ngumongameli wokugcina, futhi uyoba ngumongameli weRiphabhulikhi. Lokhu kumiswa phezu kofakazi ababili.

Abraham Lincoln, who was the first Republican president “spoke” the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which was the middle waymark of the speaking in the prophetic history of the earth beast. When Lincoln “spoke” the Emancipation Proclamation, in 1863, he was the first Republican president, thus typifying the last Republican president. Abraham Lincoln represents the last waymark of the first period of the earth beast and also the first waymark of the second period of the earth beast. Jesus always illustrates the end by the beginning. When the earth beast speaks as a dragon, at the end of the last of the two periods, the president will be a Republican president, as typified by Lincoln.

U-Abraham Lincoln, owayengumongameli wokuqala weRiphabhulikhi, “wakhuluma” i-Emancipation Proclamation ngo-1863, okwakuyisibonakaliso sesikhathi esimaphakathi sokukhuluma emlandweni wesiprofetho wesilo somhlaba. Ngenkathi uLincoln “ekhuluma” i-Emancipation Proclamation ngo-1863, wayengumongameli wokuqala weRiphabhulikhi, ngaleyo ndlela emelela ngomfanekiso umongameli wokugcina weRiphabhulikhi. U-Abraham Lincoln umele isibonakaliso sesikhathi sokugcina sesikhathi sokuqala sesilo somhlaba, futhi futhi isibonakaliso sesikhathi sokuqala sesikhathi sesibili sesilo somhlaba. UJesu uhlala ebonakalisa ukuphela ngesiqalo. Lapho isilo somhlaba sikhuluma njengodrako, ekupheleni kwesokugcina salezo zikhathi ezimbili, umongameli uyoba ngumongameli weRiphabhulikhi, njengoba kufanekiswe nguLincoln.

The second witness of the last president being a Republican president is the period that began at the time of the end in 1989 with Ronald Reagan. The prophetic period from 1989 to the soon coming Sunday law has been represented by the prophetic period of preparation for papal Rome taking the throne in the history of 508 to 538. That prophetic period of preparation for the empowerment of the antichrist in 538 was typified by the thirty years of Christ’s preparation, that is from His birth unto His baptism.

Ubufakazi besibili bokuthi umongameli wokugcina ungumongameli weRiphabhulikhi yileso sikhathi esaqala ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989 noRonald Reagan. Isikhathi sesiprofetho esisuka ku-1989 siye emthethweni weSonto osuzofika ngokushesha simelelwe yisikhathi sesiprofetho sokulungiselela iRoma yobupapa ukuba ithathe isihlalo sobukhosi emlandweni ka-508 kuya ku-538. Leso sikhathi sesiprofetho sokulungiselela ukunikezwa amandla komphikukristu ngo-538 sasifanekiselwa yiminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselela kukaKristu, okungukuthi kusukela ekuzalweni Kwakhe kuze kufike ekubhapathizweni Kwakhe.

The antichrist had a thirty-year preparation period that counterfeited Christ’s thirty years of preparation. A thirty-year period of preparation for Christ, and also for the antichrist, provides two witnesses to a period of preparation for the healing of the deadly wound at the soon coming Sunday law. That period of preparation began at the time of the end in 1989, just as Christ’s period of preparation arrived when He was born, which marked the time of the end in His prophetic history.

Umphikukristu wayenesikhathi sokulungiselelwa seminyaka engamashumi amathathu esasilingisa ngokukhohlisa iminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselelwa kukaKristu. Isikhathi seminyaka engamashumi amathathu sokulungiselelwa kukaKristu, kanye nesomphikukristu, sinikeza ofakazi ababili besikhathi sokulungiselelwa sokuphulukiswa kwesilonda esibulalayo emthethweni weSonto ozayo maduze. Leso sikhathi sokulungiselelwa saqala ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989, njengoba nje nesikhathi sokulungiselelwa kukaKristu safika lapho ezalwa, okwaphawula isikhathi sokuphela emlandweni wakhe wesiprofetho.

Before the last president, verse two of Daniel eleven teaches that there will be six presidents that reach to the rich president that “stirs up” the realm of the globalists. The first of those six presidents was Ronald Reagan, a Republican. Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln provide the two witnesses. The waymark of the rebellion of 1863, and the line of presidents beginning in 1989, pinpoint the characteristics of the final president of the United States.

Ngaphambi komongameli wokugcina, ivesi lesibili likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye lifundisa ukuthi kuyoba khona omongameli abayisithupha abafinyelela kumongameli ocebile “ovusa” umbuso wabahlanganyeli bomhlaba. Owokuqala kulabo mongameli abayisithupha kwakunguRonald Reagan, iRiphabhulikhi. URonald Reagan no-Abraham Lincoln banikeza ofakazi ababili. Umaki wendlela wokuvukela ka-1863, nomugqa womongameli oqala ngo-1989, kuveza ngokunembile izimpawu zomongameli wokugcina wase-United States.

Ronald Reagan is a symbol of the first, and therefore illustrates the last. Reagan was a former media star, a former Democrat that had converted to be a Republican. He was known for his provocative use of the English language. He was known for his sense of humor. He was a professed Protestant, who demonstrated that he did not truly understand what Protestant meant when he formed an alliance with the antichrist of Bible prophecy.

URonald Reagan ungumfanekiso wokuqala, ngakho-ke ufanekisa nowokugcina. UReagan wayeyinkanyezi yangaphambili yezindaba, owayekade enguDemocrat kodwa waguquka waba yiRepublican. Wayaziwa ngokusebenzisa kwakhe ulimi lwesiNgisi ngendlela evusayo. Wayaziwa nangomuzwa wakhe wokuhlekisa. Wayezibiza ngokuthi ungumProthestani, kodwa wabonakalisa ukuthi wayengaqondi ngokweqiniso ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba ngumProthestani lapho akha umfelandawonye nomphikukristu wesiprofetho seBhayibheli.

He was pro-American, and politically unafraid. He was preceded by the most ineffective president in that era of modern politics, and his predecessor had bowed to the demands of radical Islam. Perhaps the most significant thing he stated, and which he is given credit for accomplishing, was when he said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

WayengowaseMelika, futhi engesabi kwezepolitiki. Wandulelwa ngumongameli ongasebenzi kahle kunabo bonke kuleso sikhathi sezombusazwe zesimanje, futhi owamandulela wayekhothamele izimfuno zobuSulumane obushisekela ngokweqile. Mhlawumbe into ebaluleke kakhulu ayishoyo, nalokho anconywa ngokukufeza, kwaba lapho ethi, “Mnu. Gorbachev, diliza lolu donga.”

Donald Trump is a symbol of the last, and therefore has been illustrated by the first. Trump was a former media star, a former Democrat that had converted to a Republican. He is known for his provocative use of the English language. He is known for his sense of humor. He is a professed Protestant, who has demonstrated that he does not truly understand what Protestant means, and he will form an alliance with the antichrist of Bible prophecy at the soon coming Sunday law.

UDonald Trump uyisibonakaliso sowokugcina, ngakho-ke uboniswe ngowokuqala. UTrump wayeyinkanyezi yangaphambili yezindaba zokuxhumana, eyiDemocrat yangaphambili eyaguqukela ekubeni yiRepublican. Waziwa ngokusebenzisa kwakhe ulimi lwesiNgisi ngendlela evusa impikiswano. Waziwa nangomuzwa wakhe wokuhlekisa. Ungumuntu ozibiza ngomProthestani, osebonisile ukuthi akaqondi ngempela ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba ngumProthestani, futhi uzokwakha ubumbano nomphikukristu wesiprofetho seBhayibheli emthethweni weSonto osuzofika maduze.

He is pro-American, and politically unafraid. He was preceded by the most ineffective president in that era of modern politics, and when he is re-elected in 2024, he will once again have been preceded by the new most ineffective president in the era of modern politics. In both instances his predecessors are known for bowing to the demands of radical Islam. Most certainly the most significant thing he has ever stated, and which he will be given credit for accomplishing, is “Build the wall.”

UngowaseMelika, futhi ngokwepolitiki akesabi. Wandulelwa ngumongameli ongasebenzi kahle kunabo bonke kuleso sikhathi sezepolitiki zesimanje, futhi lapho ephinde ekhethwa ngo-2024, uyobe esebuye futhi wandulelwa ngumongameli omusha ongasebenzi kahle kunabo bonke enkathini yezepolitiki zesimanje. Kuzo zombili lezi zimo, labo ababemandulele baziwa ngokukhothamela izimfuno ze-Islamu eqinile. Ngokuqinisekile into ebaluleke kakhulu ake wayisho, futhi okuyiyona ayobongwa ngokuyifeza, ithi, “Yakha udonga.”

This is not to claim that Jimmy Carter, Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden were not highly effective in their presidencies, it is just that their effectiveness, was based upon their work to destroy the principles enshrined in the Constitution of the United States, the very document they had each sworn to uphold and protect, coupled with the reality that Carter allowed Islam to hold hostages until the election of Reagan, and that Obama did an apology tour to the Islamic world and gave a minimum of one billion dollars cash to the primary bank of radical Islam, and Biden’s record of support of Islam is too long to list.

Lokhu akukhona ukusho ukuthi uJimmy Carter, uBarack Hussein Obama noJoe Biden babengasebenzi ngempumelelo enkulu ebuholini babo bobumongameli; kunalokho, impumelelo yabo yayisekelwe emsebenzini wabo wokuchitha izimiso ezibekwe eMthethosisekelweni wase-United States, wona kanye umqulu ababefunge ngamunye wabo ukuwulondoloza nokuwuvikela, kuhambisana neqiniso lokuthi uCarter wavumela iSulumane ukuba sibambe abathunjwa kwaze kwaba ukhetho lukaReagan, nokuthi uObama wenza uhambo lokuxolisa emhlabeni wamaSulumane futhi wanika okungenani isigidi sezigidigidi zamadola ngemali esandleni ebhange eliyinhloko leSulumane esiyingozi esinamandla, kanti umlando kaBiden wokweseka iSulumane mude kakhulu ukuba ubalwe.

Ronald Reagan accomplished the work of tearing down the symbolic wall called “the iron curtain”, and on November 11, 1989 the Berlin wall came down to mark that spiritual conquering with a literal waymark. Trump will tear down the symbolic wall of separation of Church and State, and the third Woe will provide a literal waymark of that event. That event will conclude the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, which began with the arrival of Islam of the third Woe, which provided a literal waymark to identify that the spiritual work of the sealing period had begun. October 7, 2023, provided the middle point of the three literal historical markers of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

URonald Reagan wawufeza umsebenzi wokudiliza udonga olungokomfanekiso olubizwa ngokuthi “ikhethini lensimbi”, futhi ngomhlaka 11 Novemba, 1989 udonga lwaseBerlin lwawa ukuze luphawule lokho kunqoba okungokomoya ngophawu lomlando olungokoqobo. UTrump uzodiliza udonga olungokomfanekiso lokwehlukanisa iBandla noMbuso, futhi uMaye wesithathu uzonikeza uphawu lomlando olungokoqobo lwalowo mcimbi. Lowo mcimbi uzophetha inkathi yokubekwa uphawu kwabantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane, eyaqala ngokufika kwe-Islam kaMaye wesithathu, eyahlinzeka ngophawu lomlando olungokoqobo lokukhomba ukuthi umsebenzi ongokomoya wenkathi yokubekwa uphawu usuqalile. Umhlaka 7 Okthoba, 2023, wanikeza iphuzu eliphakathi kwezimpawu ezintathu zomlando ezingokoqobo zesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu kwabantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane.

In the midst of that history of the sealing, the sixth president since Ronald Reagan was symbolically politically assassinated by the beast from the bottomless pit. The beast from the bottomless pit at the outset of the sealing time was Islam, representing Mohammed, a symbol of a false prophet. The beast from the bottomless pit at the end of the sealing time is the sea beast of Catholicism, whose deadly wound is then healed. The beast from the bottomless pit that ascends in the middle of the sealing time, is the beast of atheism, the dragon. The dragon beast from the bottomless pit, in the middle of the sealing time slays the two witnesses in Revelation chapter eleven.

Phakathi kwalowo mlando wokubekwa uphawu, umongameli wesithupha kusukela kuRonald Reagan wabulawa ngokombuso, ngokufanekisayo, yisilo esivela emgodini ongenamkhawulo. Isilo esivela emgodini ongenamkhawulo ekuqaleni kwesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu kwakuyiSlamu, imele uMohammed, uphawu lomprofethi wamanga. Isilo esivela emgodini ongenamkhawulo ekupheleni kwesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu siyisilo sasolwandle sobuKatolika, esesilonda saso esibulalayo sisuke sesiphulukisiwe. Isilo esivela emgodini ongenamkhawulo esenyuka phakathi nesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu, siyisilo sokungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu, udrako. Isilo esingudrako esivela emgodini ongenamkhawulo, phakathi nesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu, sibulala ofakazi ababili encwadini yesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nanye.

The pro-slavery Democratic dragon faction of the US Civil War literally slew the first Republican president. The Civil War officially ended on April 9, 1865, and Lincoln died a week later on the 15th, though he had been shot the day before. The war ended on the seventh-day Sabbath, and Lincoln died on the seventh-day Sabbath.

Iqembu ledrako leDemokhrasi elalixhasa ubugqila phakathi neMpi Yombango yase-United States labulala ngokoqobo umongameli wokuqala weRiphabhulikhi. IMpi Yombango yaphela ngokusemthethweni ngo-Ephreli 9, 1865, futhi uLincoln washona ngesonto elalandela ngomhlaka-15, nakuba ayedutshulwe ngosuku olwandulela lolo. Impi yaphela ngeSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa, futhi uLincoln washona ngeSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa.

The globalists who had been awakened (stirred up) against the rich and powerful president, accomplished a political assassination on November 3, 2020. That beast from the bottomless pit represented the dragon beast who symbolically slew the last republican president as typified by the literal death of the first republican president. God’s Word identifies that after the world rejoiced over his death, he would stand upon his feet. We are now in 2024, and it is apparent that Trump has come back to life, in spite of all the lawfare, lies, propaganda and money that is being thrown against him.

Abembulunga ababevusiwe (bashukunyiswa) ukuba bamelane nomongameli ocebile nonamandla, benza ukubulawa kwezombusazwe ngo-Novemba 3, 2020. Leso silo esivela emgodini ongenasiphelo sasimelela isilo sikadrako esabulala ngokomfanekiso umongameli wokugcina weRiphabhulikhi, njengoba kufanekiswa ukufa kwangempela komongameli wokuqala weRiphabhulikhi. IZwi likaNkulunkulu likhomba ukuthi emva kokuba umhlaba uthokozele ukufa kwakhe, wayeyakuma ngezinyawo zakhe. Manje sesiku-2024, futhi kuyabonakala ukuthi uTrump usevuke wabuya waphila, naphezu kwazo zonke izimpi zomthetho, amanga, inkulumo-ze, nemali ephonswa ukumelana naye.

In the controversy that manifests itself in the United States, and thus prefigures the same controversy in the world, a satanic power from beneath will come up during the time when the power of God as represented by the latter rain is coming down from above.

Empikiswaneni ezibonakalisa e-United States, futhi ngaleyo ndlela zifanekisela kusengaphambili yona leyo mpikiswano emhlabeni, amandla kaSathane avela ezansi ayakuvela ngesikhathi lapho amandla kaNkulunkulu, amelwe yimvula yangemva, ehla evela phezulu.

In the history of September 11, 2001, unto the soon coming Sunday law in the United States, Islam of the third Woe came out of the bottomless pit as smoke, representing the smoke of the burning buildings at the beginning of that history. In 2016, the Communist woke-ism of the globalists ascended to kill the two witnesses. Then at the soon coming Sunday law the papacy, who will then become the eighth beast that is of the seven, will ascend to the throne of the earth as its deadly wound is healed.

Emlandweni kaSepthemba 11, 2001, kuze kube ngumthetho weSonto osuzofika maduze e-United States, ubuSulumane boMaye wesithathu baphuma emgodini ongenasiphelo njengentuthu, emele intuthu yezakhiwo ezazisha ekuqaleni kwalowo mlando. Ngo-2016, i-woke-ism yamaKhomanisi yabahwebi bomhlaba yakhuphuka ukuze ibulale ofakazi ababili. Khona-ke, emthethweni weSonto osuzofika maduze, upapa, oyobe eseba yisilo sesishiyagalombili esingesabayisikhombisa, uyokhuphukela esihlalweni sobukhosi bomhlaba njengoba inxeba laso elibulalayo liphola.

The beasts that represent the power that comes from beneath, during the time when the latter rain is falling as the power from above, represent a prophetic “Truth.” The first that is to ascend as smoke is Islam of the third Woe, at the time when the first voice of Revelation chapter eighteen sounds, and it ascends when the latter rain begins to be “measured”. The last beast to ascend is the papacy, at the time when the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen sounds, and it ascends when the latter rain is being poured out without measure.

Izilo ezimele amandla avela ngezansi, ngesikhathi imvula yokugcina ina njengamandla avela phezulu, zimele “iQiniso” lesiprofetho. Esokuqala okufanele sikhuphuke njengentuthu yi-Islami yoMaye wesithathu, ngesikhathi lapho kuzwakala khona izwi lokuqala lesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nesishiyagalombili, futhi sikhuphuka lapho imvula yokugcina iqala “ukukalwa”. Isilo sokugcina ukukhuphuka ubupapa, ngesikhathi lapho kuzwakala khona izwi lesibili lesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nesishiyagalombili, futhi sikhuphuka lapho imvula yokugcina ithululwa ngaphandle kwesilinganiso.

The first typifies the last, and the beast that ascends in the middle is the beast of atheistic globalism that slayed two witnesses in 2020. One witness was the Protestant horn, and the other was the Republican horn. The rebellion and anarchy associated with the beast of atheism is represented by the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and that beast from the bottomless pit arrived in between the first and last beasts from the bottomless pit, that creates the definition of the Hebrew word “truth”, even if it is a truth identifying the satanic power that comes from beneath during the time when the heavenly power is coming from above.

Esokuqala sifanekisela esokugcina, kanti isilo esenyukayo phakathi nendawo siyisilo sobumbulunkulu-bokungabikho bukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke esabulala ofakazi ababili ngo-2020. Omunye ufakazi wayeyimpondo yamaProthestani, kanti omunye wayeyimpondo yamaRiphabhulikhi. Ukuhlubuka nesiphithiphithi okuhambisana nesilo sokungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu kufanekiselwa uhlamvu lweshumi nantathu lwezinhlamvu zamaHebheru, futhi leso silo esivela emgodini ongenasiphelo safika phakathi kwezilo zokuqala nezokugcina ezivela emgodini ongenasiphelo, okudala incazelo yegama lesiHebheru elithi “iqiniso”, noma ngabe kuyiqiniso elikhomba amandla kaSathane avela phansi ngesikhathi amandla asezulwini eza evela phezulu.

Three and a half days after the two witnesses were slain a “middle voice” began to sound. It was “the voice of one crying in the wilderness”. That voice was the “ending” of the voice of the messenger that prepares the way for the Messenger of the Covenant, and the beginning of the voice of Elijah, calling men and women to Mount Carmel.

Ezinsukwini ezintathu nengxenye emva kokubulawa kofakazi ababili kwaqala ukuzwakala “izwi eliphakathi.” Kwakuyilo “izwi lomemezayo ehlane.” Lelo zwi laliyisi“phelo” sezwi sesithunywa esilungisela iNdlela yesiThunywa seSivumelwano, futhi liyisiqalo sezwi lika-Eliya, elibiza amadoda nabesifazane eNtabeni iKarmeli.

> “Brethren and sisters, would that I might say something to awaken you to the importance of this time, the significance of the events that are now taking place. I point you to the aggressive movements now being made for the restriction of religious liberty. God’s sanctified memorial has been torn down, and in its place a false sabbath, bearing no sanctity, stands before the world. And while the powers of darkness are stirring up the elements from beneath, the Lord God of heaven is sending power from above to meet the emergency by arousing His living agencies to exalt the law of heaven. Now, just now, is our time to work in foreign countries. As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example. Our people are not half awake to do all in their power, with the facilities within their reach, to extend the message of warning.

> “Bazalwane nodadewethu, sengathi bengingasho okuthile okunganivusa ukuba nibone ukubaluleka kwalesi sikhathi, nencazelo ejulile yezehlakalo ezenzekayo manje. Nginiqondisa ezinhlanganweni ezinamandla ezisanda kuqalwa manje zokunqanda inkululeko yenkolo. Isikhumbuzo sikaNkulunkulu esingcwelisiwe sidiliziwe, kwase kuthi endaweni yaso kuma isabatha lamanga, elingenabo ubungcwele, phambi kwezwe. Futhi ngesikhathi amandla obumnyama evusa izakhi ezivela ngaphansi, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wezulu ithumela amandla avela phezulu ukuba ahlangabezane nalesi simo esiphuthumayo ngokuvusa izinceku zaYo eziphilayo ukuba ziphakamise umthetho wezulu. Manje, yebo manje impela, yisikhathi sethu sokusebenza emazweni angaphandle. Njengoba iMelika, izwe lenkululeko yenkolo, iyakuhlangana nobupapa ekuphoqeni unembeza nasekucindezeleni abantu ukuba bahloniphe isabatha lamanga, abantu bawo wonke amazwe omhlaba bayoholeleka ekulandeleni isibonelo salo. Abantu bakithi abakakavuki ngisho nengxenye ukuba benze konke okusemandleni abo, ngezinsiza ezitholakala kubo, ukuze bandise isigijimi sesixwayiso.

> “The Lord God of heaven will not send upon the world His judgments for disobedience and transgression until He has sent His watchmen to give the warning. He will not close up the period of probation until the message shall be more distinctly proclaimed. The law of God is to be magnified; its claims must be presented in their true, sacred character, that the people may be brought to decide for or against the truth. Yet the work will be cut short in righteousness. The message of Christ’s righteousness is to sound from one end of the earth to the other to prepare the way of the Lord. This is the glory of God, which closes the work of the third angel.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18, 19.

> “INkosi uNkulunkulu wezulu ayiyikwehlisela umhlaba izahlulelo zaYo ngenxa yokungalaleli nokweqa umthetho, ingakathumeli abalindi baYo ukuba banike isexwayiso. Ayiyikuvala isikhathi somusa kuze kube yilapho umlayezo usumenyezelwe ngokucace kakhudlwana. Umthetho kaNkulunkulu kufanele uphakanyiswe; izimfuno zawo kufanele zethulwe esimweni sazo seqiniso, esingcwele, ukuze abantu balethwe ekuthatheni isinqumo sokuba babe ngasohlangothini lweqiniso noma bamelane nalo. Nokho umsebenzi uyofinyezwa ngokulunga. Umlayezo wokulunga kukaKristu kufanele uzwakale usuke komunye umkhawulo womhlaba uye komunye ukulungiselela indlela yeNkosi. Lona nguye inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, evala umsebenzi wengelosi yesithathu.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18, 19.

The message that began at the end of July, 2023 is now “distinctly proclaiming,” the “warning,” identifying “the importance of this time, the significance of the events that are now taking place.” It is distinctly identifying “the powers of darkness” who “are stirring up the elements from beneath,” and that “the Lord God of heaven” began “sending power from above” on September 11, 2001. It is “sounding” “the message of Christ’s righteousness” “from one end of the earth to the other.” It is high time to “awaken” “to the importance of this time,” for God is now going to begin to “send upon the world His judgments for disobedience and transgression.”

Umyalezo owaqala ekupheleni kukaJulayi, 2023 manje “umemezela ngokusobala,” “isexwayiso,” uveza “ukubaluleka kwalesi sikhathi, ukuqakatheka kwezehlakalo ezenzekayo manje.” Uveza ngokusobala “amandla obumnyama” “avusa izakhi eziphuma ngaphansi,” nokuthi “iNkosi uNkulunkulu wezulu” yaqala “ukuthumela amandla evela phezulu” ngoSepthemba 11, 2001. “Uzwakalisa” “umyalezo wokulunga kukaKristu” “kusukela komunye umkhawulo womhlaba kuze kube komunye.” Sekuyisikhathi impela “sokuvuka” “ekuqondeni ukubaluleka kwalesi sikhathi,” ngokuba manje uNkulunkulu usezoqala “ukuthumela phezu kwezwe izahlulelo zaKhe ngenxa yokungalaleli nangesiphambeko.”

The line of prophecy represented with 1989 as the time of the end in verse forty, emphasizes the external history, of the internal line of prophecy represented with 1798, as the time of the end in verse forty of Daniel eleven. The prophetic history beginning at 1989 in the verse identifies the three-step process of the healing of papal Rome’s deadly wound. From 1989 until that wound is healed at the soon coming Sunday law represents a specific prophetic period. Verse two of Daniel eleven, adds a second line, by identifying the prophetic role of the presidents of the United States, beginning with Ronald Reagan in 1989. The prophetic period of time that leads to the Sunday law, has a second witness in the thirty years of preparation that was accomplished from 508 to 538, when the papacy took the throne the first time and passed a Sunday law that very year.

Ulayini lwesiprofetho olumelwe ngo-1989 njengesikhathi sokuphela evesini lamashumi amane, lugcizelela umlando wangaphandle wolayini wangaphakathi wesiprofetho omelwe ngo-1798 njengesikhathi sokuphela evesini lamashumi amane likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye. Umlando wesiprofetho oqala ngo-1989 evesini ukhomba inqubo yezinyathelo ezintathu yokuphulukiswa kwesilonda esibulalayo seRoma yobupapa. Kusukela ngo-1989 kuze kube yilapho leso silonda siphulukiswa emthethweni weSonto oza maduze, kumela inkathi ethile yesiprofetho. Ivesi lesibili likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye lengeza ulayini wesibili, ngokuhlonza indima yesiprofetho yabongameli base-United States, eqala ngoRonald Reagan ngo-1989. Inkathi yesiprofetho eholela emthethweni weSonto, inofakazi wesibili eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselela eyafezwa kusukela ku-508 kuya ku-538, ngesikhathi ubupapa buthatha isihlalo sobukhosi okokuqala futhi badlulisa umthetho weSonto ngawo lowo nyaka.

Christ was baptized and began His ministry of three and a half years when He was thirty years old. The papacy is a satanic counterfeit of Christ, and the thirty years from 508 to 538, counterfeits the first thirty years of Christ that led to His baptism. His three and a half years ministry were counterfeited by the three and a half prophetic years in which the papacy presented the world with its ministry of death, as a counterfeit of Christ’s ministry of life.

UKristu wabhapathizwa futhi waqala inkonzo Yakhe yeminyaka emithathu nengxenye eseneminyaka engamashumi amathathu. Ubupapa buyisifaniso sikaKristu esingesomgunyathi sikaSathane, futhi iminyaka engamashumi amathathu kusukela ku-508 kuya ku-538 iyisifaniso esingesomgunyathi seminyaka yokuqala engamashumi amathathu kaKristu eyaholela ekubhapathizweni Kwakhe. Inkonzo Yakhe yeminyaka emithathu nengxenye yalingiswa ngomgunyathi yiminyaka emithathu nengxenye yesiprofetho lapho ubupapa banika izwe inkonzo yabo yokufa, njengomgunyathi wenkonzo kaKristu yokuphila.

At the end of His ministry He died, rested in the tomb on the seventh day, and then was resurrected. In 1798, at the end of the satanic ministry of the papacy for three and a half prophetic years the papacy received its deadly wound, then it has been forgotten for seventy symbolic years, until it is resurrected as the eighth that is of the seven. Christ was resurrected on the first day of the week, but sequentially the first day is the “eighth” day, and it is “of the seven” days which Christ created. Eight as a number represents “resurrection,” and the papacy gets resurrected, for it is the one kingdom of the kingdoms of Bible prophecy that has been identified as receiving a deadly wound.

Ekupheleni kwenkonzo yaKhe wafa, waphumula ethuneni ngosuku lwesikhombisa, kwase kuba evuswa. Ngo-1798, ekupheleni kwenkonzo kaSathane yobupapa eyathatha iminyaka emithathu nengxenye yesiprofetho, ubupapa bathola inxeba labo elibulalayo; kwase buba sebukhohlweni iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa eyisifanekiso, kwaze kwaba yilapho buvuswa njengobesishiyagalombili obungobwayisikhombisa. UKristu wavuswa ngosuku lokuqala lweviki, kodwa ngokulandelana kosuku lokuqala luwusuku “lwesiShiyagalombili,” futhi “lungolwayisikhombisa” izinsuku uKristu azidalayo. Isibalo esiyisishiyagalombili simelela “ukuvuka,” futhi ubupapa buyavuswa, ngokuba buyibona kuphela imibuso phakathi kwemibuso yesiprofetho seBhayibheli eyaziwe njengothola inxeba elibulalayo.

Paul identifies that when God brought ancient Israel through the Red Sea, that baptism was symbolically represented.

UPawulu uveza ukuthi lapho uNkulunkulu ehola u-Israyeli wasendulo edabula uLwandle oluBomvu, lokho kwakuyisifanekiselo sobhapathizo.

> Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 1 Corinthians 10:1, 2.

> Ngaphezu kwalokho, bazalwane, angifisi ukuba ningazi ukuthi obaba bethu bonke babengaphansi kwefu, futhi bonke badabula olwandle; futhi bonke babhapathizelwa kuMose efwini nasolwandle. 1 Korinte 10:1, 2.

The rite of baptism for spiritual Israel replaced the rite of circumcision for literal Israel, and circumcision was to take place on the eighth day. Christ was therefore resurrected upon the eighth day, which is of the seven, and when the papacy is resurrected as the eighth which is of the seven, it is the satanic parallel to the line of Christ. The thirty years of preparation for the papacy to be enthroned, were typified by the thirty years of Christ’s life in preparation for His baptism, His ministry and death. Both of those lines identify a period that leads to the death of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. Both lines represent the last period of the earth beast. In the line of Christ, His birth marked the “time of the end” for that history.

Umkhuba wokubhapathizwa kuka-Israyeli ongokomoya wangena esikhundleni somkhuba wokusoka kuka-Israyeli ongokoqobo, futhi ukusoka kwakufanele kwenzeke ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili. Ngakho-ke uKristu wavuswa ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili, olungolwabayisikhombisa, futhi lapho ubupapa buvuswa njengesesishiyagalombili esingolwabayisikhombisa, kuba wukufanisa kukaSathane nomugqa kaKristu. Iminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselela ukuba ubupapa buhlaliswe esihlalweni sobukhosi, yafanekiswa yiminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokuphila kukaKristu ekulungiseleleni ukubhapathizwa kwaKhe, inkonzo yaKhe nokufa kwaKhe. Yomibili leyo migqa ikhomba isikhathi esiholela ekufeni kombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. Yomibili imigqa imelela inkathi yokugcina yesilo somhlaba. Emgqeni kaKristu, ukuzalwa kwaKhe kwaphawula “isikhathi sokuphela” salowo mlando.

Thus, we have four lines. Verse forty’s time of the end in 1989 until the Sunday law of verse forty-one. Verse two’s presentation of the presidents, and the thirty years of preparation for both Christ and the antichrist. The thirty years of Christ began at the “time of the end” in His line, which was marked by His birth. The time of the end in 1798, was typified by the end of the seventy-year captivity of literal Israel in literal Babylon. Therefore, verse two of Daniel eleven begins with Darius, for Darius began to reign at the fall of Babylon. 1989 is the time of the end in verse forty, and verse two of Daniel eleven is also the time of the end, and the thirty years of Christ’s preparation began at “the time of the end”. Three of these four lines have “the time of the end” easily marked as the beginning waymark.

Ngakho-ke, sinemigqa emine. Isikhathi sokuphela sevesi lamashumi amane ngo-1989 kuze kube ngumthetho weSonto wevesi lamashumi amane nanye. Ukwethulwa komongameli kwevesi lesibili, kanye neminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselela kokubili uKristu nomphikukristu. Iminyaka engamashumi amathathu kaKristu yaqala “ngesikhathi sokuphela” emgqeni waKhe, okwaphawulwa ngokuzalwa kwaKhe. Isikhathi sokuphela ngo-1798, sasifanekiswa ngokuphela kokuthunjwa kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa kuka-Israyeli ongokoqobo eBhabhiloni elingokoqobo. Ngakho-ke, ivesi lesibili likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye liqala ngoDariyu, ngoba uDariyu waqala ukubusa ekuweni kweBhabhiloni. U-1989 uyisikhathi sokuphela evesini lamashumi amane, futhi ivesi lesibili likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye nalo liyisikhathi sokuphela, futhi iminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselela kukaKristu yaqala “ngesikhathi sokuphela”. Imigqa emithathu kule mine “inesikhathi sokuphela” esiphawulwa kalula njengophawu lokuqala lwendlela.

The two lines of two-hundred and twenty years in the movement of the first and the movement of the third angel identify two-hundred and twenty as a symbol of the link between humanity and divinity. The beginning of the symbolic link of two-hundred and twenty years that began in 1776, led to 1996.

Imigqa emibili yeminyaka engamakhulu amabili namashumi amabili enhlanganweni yengelosi yokuqala nasenhlanganweni yengelosi yesithathu ikhomba amakhulu amabili namashumi amabili njengophawu lwesixhumanisi phakathi kobuntu nobuNkulunkulu. Ukuqala kwesixhumanisi esingokomfanekiso seminyaka engamakhulu amabili namashumi amabili esaqala ngo-1776, kwaholela ku-1996.

That period was typified by the two hundred and twenty years from 1611 to 1831 in the Millerite history. The period from the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to 1798 when the earth beast took the throne as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, represents the first two of the three waymarks within the two hundred and twenty years that concluded in 1996.

Leyo nkathi yafanekiselwa yiminyaka engamakhulu amabili namashumi amabili, kusukela ku-1611 kuya ku-1831, emlandweni wamaMillerite. Inkathi esukela eSimemezelweni Sokuzimela ngo-1776 kuya ku-1798, lapho isilo somhlaba sathatha isihlalo sobukhosi njengombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli, imelela izimpawu zomgwaqo ezimbili zokuqala kwezintathu ngaphakathi kuleyo minyaka engamakhulu amabili namashumi amabili eyaphetha ngo-1996.

1776 to 1798 represents a period that leads to the empowerment of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and therefore aligns with the thirty years of preparation of Christ and the antichrist. The period that precedes the empowerment of the earth beast represents the period that precedes the empowerment of the threefold union, which is the eighth beast that is of the seven. The eighth beast, that is of the seven, is the second and last manifestation of the papacy ruling the world. In the first manifestation of the papacy ruling the world there was a thirty-year period of preparation.

1776 kuya ku-1798 kumela inkathi eholela ekunikezweni amandla kombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli, ngakho-ke ivumelana neminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselelwa kukaKristu nokomphikukristu. Inkathi eyandulela ukunikezwa amandla kwesilo somhlaba imela inkathi eyandulela ukunikezwa amandla kwenhlangano yobunye obuphindwe kathathu, eyisilo sesishiyagalombili esivela kulawa ayisikhombisa. Isilo sesishiyagalombili, esivela kulawa ayisikhombisa, siyisibonakaliso sesibili nesokugcina sobupapa obubusa umhlaba. Esibonakalisweni sokuqala sobupapa obubusa umhlaba kwakukhona inkathi yeminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselela.

Line upon line, the history of 1989 unto the Sunday law; the history of thirty years that led to 538; the history of thirty years that led to Christ’s baptism; the history of verse two of Daniel eleven, beginning with Ronald Reagan to the Sunday law; and the history of 1776 to 1798, are all representing the same history in the last days. It is essential to be clear concerning this fact, for the history beginning in 1776, unto 1798, is the line that brings all the lines together into clarity.

Umugqa phezu komugqa, umlando ka-1989 kuze kube ngumthetho weSonto; umlando weminyaka engamashumi amathathu owaholela ku-538; umlando weminyaka engamashumi amathathu owaholela ekubhapathizweni kukaKristu; kanye nomlando wevesi lesibili likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye, oqala ngoRonald Reagan kuze kube ngumthetho weSonto; nomlando ka-1776 kuze kube ngu-1798, konke kumele umlando ofanayo ezinsukwini zokugcina. Kubalulekile ukuba kucace ngokuphathelene naleli qiniso, ngokuba umlando oqala ngo-1776 kuze kube ngu-1798 uyilo umugqa oletha yonke imigqa ndawonye ekucaceni.

In that line of prophetic history, which is the closing history of the earth beast of Revelation thirteen, there is an internal line that addresses God’s people as represented by the horn of true Protestantism, and there is an external line as represented by the horn of Republicanism. In both horns there is a twofold struggle and controversy that prophecy addresses. We have been identifying the prophetic elements of the dragon, the beast, the false prophet and Islam that are manifested in the history of 1989 to the Sunday law.

Kulowo mugqa womlando wesiprofetho, okuwumlando wokuphetha wesilo somhlaba sikaSambulo ishumi nantathu, kunomugqa wangaphakathi okhuluma nabantu bakaNkulunkulu njengoba bemelwe uphondo lobuProthestani beqiniso, futhi kunomugqa wangaphandle njengoba umelwe uphondo lweRiphabhulikhi. Kuzo zombili lezi zimpondo kukhona impi nempikiswano ephindwe kabili isiprofetho esikhuluma ngakho. Besilokhu sikhomba izingxenye zesiprofetho zedrako, zesilo, zomprofethi wamanga, kanye ne-Islam ezibonakaliswa emlandweni ka-1989 kuya emthethweni weSonto.

The dragon’s prophetic characteristic is that he is the father of lies, he is the murderer, and he is the leader of the secret conspiracies on earth, just as he was in heaven. His religion is spiritualism. He is the champion of what is today called “lawfare,” he is the unholy attorney, the accuser of our brethren, as he was in the heavenly court when he disputed over the obedience and faith of Job, and when he disputed over the body of Moses, and as he further disputed over the work of Christ in removing the filthy garments off of Joshua in Zechariah chapter three. He is the one who rules the kingdoms, and the one who lifts himself up as God.

Isici esingokwesiprofetho sedrako siwukuthi unguyise wamanga, ungumbulali, futhi ungumholi wamaqhinga ayimfihlo emhlabeni, njengalokhu ayenjalo nasezulwini. Inkolo yakhe iwukusebenzelana nemimoya. Ungumpetha walokho namuhla okubizwa ngokuthi “lawfare,” ungummeli ongengcwele, ummangaleli wabazalwane bethu, njengalokhu ayenjalo enkantolo yasezulwini lapho ephikisana ngokulalela nokukholwa kukaJobe, nalapho ephikisana ngomzimba kaMose, futhi njengalokhu waqhubeka ephikisana ngomsebenzi kaKristu ekususeni izingubo ezingcolileyo kuJoshuwa kuZakariya isahluko sesithathu. Nguye obusa imibuso, futhi nguye oziphakamisayo njengoNkulunkulu.

The beast’s religion is Catholicism, and she is the woman that deceives the world through traditions and customs which she leads her followers to believe are to be obeyed above the Word of God. She deceives the world through her sorceries, which in Revelation chapter eighteen verse twenty-three, is the Greek word pharmakeia, meaning “medications”. She is the one who commits fornication with the kings of the earth. She is the counterfeit of the One who was dead, but lives again. She is the one that is forgotten and then remembered, and she is the eighth that is of the seven. She is the beast which the United States forms an image of and an image to.

Inkolo yesilo inguKhatholika, futhi yona ingowesifazane okhohlisa umhlaba ngamasiko nemikhuba aholela abamlandelayo ekukholweni ukuthi kufanele kulalelwe ngaphezu kweZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ukhohlisa umhlaba ngobuthakathi bakhe, okuyinto, encwadini yesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nesishiyagalombili ivesi lamashumi amabili nantathu, eyigama lesiGreki elithi pharmakeia, elisho “imithi”. Yena nguyena owenza ubufebe namakhosi omhlaba. Uyisifaniso-mbumbulu salowo owayefile, kodwa osephila futhi. Nguyena olibalwayo bese ekhunjulwa, futhi ungowesishiyagalombili ophuma kwabayisikhombisa. Unguye isilo i-United States eyakha umfanekiso waso nomfanekiso kulo.

The false prophet is apostate Protestantism, who presumes to be something which the Word of God denies, and because of its denial of the Word of God, it lacks the power provided by the Word of God. Without the power of the Word of God, a church or a people who still presumptuously claim to be God’s people, are logically forced to lean upon civil power to pretend that they are accomplishing God’s work. Apostate Protestantism is the prophets of Baal and Ashtaroth who provide the deceptive dance for Jezebel and Herodias, and they are Salome, the daughter of Herodias.

Umprofethi wamanga ubungamaProthestani obuhlubukileyo, obuzigqamisa ngokuthi buyinto iZwi likaNkulunkulu eliyiphikayo; futhi ngenxa yokuphika kwabo iZwi likaNkulunkulu, bantula amandla anikezwa iZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ngaphandle kwamandla eZwi likaNkulunkulu, ibandla noma abantu abasazisho ngesibindi esiyize ukuthi bangabantu bakaNkulunkulu, baphoqeleka ngokomqondo ukuba bancike emandleni ombuso ukuze bazenze sengathi bayawufeza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. UbungamaProthestani obuhlubukileyo bangabaprofethi bakaBhali no-Ashitaroti, abanikeza uJezebeli noHerodiyasi umdanso wokukhohlisa, futhi bangoSalome, indodakazi kaHerodiyasi.

These three powers come together into a threefold union, but they actually hate each other. Without understanding the fact that they are in controversy with each other it is impossible to understand how the ten kings (the United Nations), would agree to give their kingdom to the papacy, and in the same chapter eat her flesh and burn her with fire. The controversy between these powers is to be taught to God’s students of prophecy.

Lawa mandla amathathu ahlangana abe ubunye obuphindwe kathathu, kodwa empeleni ayazondana. Ngaphandle kokuqonda iqiniso lokuthi aphikisana phakathi kwawo akunakwenzeka ukuqonda ukuthi amakhosi ayishumi (i-United Nations) angavuma kanjani ukunika ubukhosi bawo upapa, bese kuleso sahluko esifanayo adle inyama yakhe futhi amshise ngomlilo. Impikiswano phakathi kwala mandla kufanele ifundiswe abafundi bakaNkulunkulu besiprofetho.

Islam is the seventh trumpet, and as the third woe it is the tool of judgment that God employs to bring judgment upon modern Babylon, as the first four trumpets brought judgment upon western pagan Rome and as the fifth and sixth trumpets brought judgment on papal and eastern pagan Rome

UbuSulumane buyicilongo lesikhombisa, futhi njengomaye wesithathu buyithuluzi lokwahlulela uNkulunkulu alisebenzisayo ukuletha ukwahlulela phezu kweBhabhiloni lanamuhla, njengoba amacilongo amane okuqala aletha ukwahlulela phezu kweRoma yasentshonalanga yobuqaba, nanjengoba icilongo lesihlanu nelesithupha aletha ukwahlulela phezu kweRoma yobupapa kanye neRoma yasempumalanga yobuqaba.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Sizoqhubeka nalesi sifundo esihlokweni esilandelayo.

> “In these times of special interest, the guardians of the flock of God should teach the people that the spiritual powers are in controversy. It is not human beings that are creating such intensity of feeling as now exists in the religious world. A power from Satan’s spiritual synagogue is infusing the religious elements of the world, arousing men to decided action to press the advantages Satan has gained, by leading the religious world in determined warfare against those who make the word of God their guide and the sole foundation of doctrine. Satan’s masterly efforts are now put forth to gather in every principle and every power that he can employ to controvert the binding claims of the law of Jehovah, especially the fourth commandment, that defines who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth.

> “Kulezi zikhathi zentshisekelo ekhethekile, abalusi bomhlambi kaNkulunkulu kufanele bafundise abantu ukuthi amandla omoya asesempikiswaneni. Akusibo abantu ababangela ukuqina okunjalo kwemizwa njengoba sekukhona manje emhlabeni wezenkolo. Amandla avela esinagogeni sikamoya sikaSathane angenisa emhlabeni izakhi zenkolo, evusa abantu ukuba bathathe isinyathelo esiqinile sokuphokopheleza izinzuzo uSathane azizuzileyo, ngokuhola umhlaba wezenkolo empini eqinile yokulwa nalabo abenza izwi likaNkulunkulu libe ngumhlahlandlela wabo nesisekelo sodwa semfundiso. Imizamo kaSathane yobuciko obukhulu manje isisetshenziswa ukuba aqoqe wonke umgomo nawo wonke amandla angawasebenzisa ukuphikisa izimangalo ezibophayo zomthetho kaJehova, ikakhulukazi umyalo wesine, ochaza ukuthi uMdali wamazulu nomhlaba ungubani.

> “The man of sin has thought to change times and laws; but has he done it? This is the great issue. Rome and all the churches that have drunk of her cup of iniquity, in thinking to change times and laws, have exalted themselves above God, and torn down God’s great memorial, the seventh-day Sabbath. The Sabbath was to stand representing God’s power in his creation of the world in six days, and his resting upon the seventh day. ‘Wherefore he blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it,’ because that in it he had rested from all his works which God created and made. The object of the masterly working of the great deceiver has been to supersede God. In his efforts to change times and laws, he has been working to maintain a power in opposition to God, and above him.

> “Umuntu wesono ucabangé ukuguqula izikhathi nemithetho; kodwa ingabe ukwenzile lokho? Yilo udaba olukhulu. IRoma nawo wonke amabandla aphuzé enkomishini yalo yobubi, ngokucabanga ukuguqula izikhathi nemithetho, aziphakamisile ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu, adiliza isikhumbuzo esikhulu sikaNkulunkulu, iSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa. ISabatha kwakumelwe simele amandla kaNkulunkulu ekudaleni kwakhe izwe ngezinsuku eziyisithupha, nasekuphumuleni kwakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa. ‘Ngakho walubusisa usuku lweSabatha, walungcwelisa,’ ngoba kulona wayephumule kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakhe uNkulunkulu ayidalayo wayenza. Injongo yokusebenza ngobuciko komkhohlisi omkhulu kube ngukuthatha indawo kaNkulunkulu. Emizamweni yakhe yokuguqula izikhathi nemithetho, ubelokhu esebenzela ukugcina amandla aphikisana noNkulunkulu, nangaphezu kwakhe.

> “Here is the great issue. Here are the two great powers confronting each other,—the Prince of God, Jesus Christ; and the prince of darkness, Satan. Here comes the open conflict. There are but two classes in the world, and every human being will range under one of these two banners,—the banner of the prince of darkness, or the banner of Jesus Christ.

> “Nansi indaba enkulu. Nawa amandla amabili amakhulu emi ebhekene,—iNkosana kaNkulunkulu, uJesu Kristu; nenkosana yobumnyama, uSathane. Nansi impi esobala isiqhamuka. Kukhona izigaba ezimbili kuphela emhlabeni, futhi wonke umuntu uyokuma ngaphansi kwelinye lala mafulegi amabili,—ifulegi lenkosana yobumnyama, noma ifulegi likaJesu Kristu.

> “God will inspire his loyal and true children with his Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the representative of God, and will be the mighty working agent in our world to bind the loyal and true into bundles for the Lord’s garner. Satan is also with intense activity gathering together in bundles his tares from among the wheat.

> “UNkulunkulu uyogqugquzela abantwana bakhe abathembekile nabaqotho ngoMoya wakhe. UMoya oNgcwele ungummeleli kaNkulunkulu, futhi uyoba yisikhonzi esinamandla esisebenzayo emhlabeni wethu ukuze abophe ndawonye abathembekile nabaqotho babe yizinyanda zengobolondweni leNkosi. NoSathane futhi usebenza ngamandla amakhulu, ebuthanisa ndawonye abe yizinyanda ukhula lwakhe oluphakathi kukakolweni.

> “The teaching of every true ambassador for Christ is a most solemn, serious matter now. We are engaged in a warfare which will never close until the final decision is made for all eternity. Let every disciple of Jesus be reminded that we ‘wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.’ O, there are eternal interests involved in this conflict, and there must be no surface work, no cheap experience, to meet this issue. ‘The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished…. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.’” General Conference Daily Bulletin, March 4, 1895.

> “Imfundiso yalo lonke inxusa leqiniso likaKristu iyindaba ebucayi kakhulu, enzima kakhulu manje. Sibandakanyekile empini engeke iphele kuze kwenziwe isinqumo sokugcina saphakade sonke isikhathi. Makukhunjuzwe wonke umfundi kaJesu ukuthi ‘asilwi nenyama negazi, kodwa nezikhulu, namandla, nababusi bobumnyama baleli zwe, nobubi bomoya ezindaweni eziphakemeyo.’ Hawu, zikhona izithakazelo zaphakade ezithintekayo kule mpi, futhi akumelwe kube khona umsebenzi ongowaphezulu kuphela, akukho okuhlangenwe nakho okushibhile, ukuze kubhekanwe nalolu daba. ‘INkosi iyakwazi ukukhulula abamesabayo ekulingweni, nokulondoloza abangalungile kuze kube usuku lokwahlulelwa ukuze bajeziswe…. Kanti izingelosi, ezinkulu ngamandla nangobuqhawe, azilethi ukumangalelwa okunenhlamba ngabo phambi kweNkosi.’” General Conference Daily Bulletin, March 4, 1895.
