There is a transition of both the Republican and the true Protestant horn of the earth beast that began in the year 2020. The true Protestant horn was slain on July 18, 2020, and the Republican horn was slain on November 3, 2020. According to Revelation chapter eleven, after three and a half symbolic days they will once again stand upon their feet. When they stand, the true Protestant horn will transition from Laodiceans to Philadelphians. They will have been taken out of a church, and brought into a movement. They have been taken out of the experience of the seventh church, into the experience of the sixth church. They have become the eighth, that is of the seven.

Kukhona inguquko yazo zombili izimpondo zoMphikisi Womhlaba, okuyisophondo seRiphabhulikhi kanye nesophondo seqiniso samaProthestani, eyaqala ngonyaka ka-2020. Isophondo seqiniso samaProthestani sabulawa ngoJulayi 18, 2020, kanti isophondo seRiphabhulikhi sabulawa ngoNovemba 3, 2020. NgokweSambulo isahluko seshumi nanye, emva kwezinsuku ezintathu nengxenye ezingokomfanekiso, ziyophinde zime ngezinyawo zazo. Lapho sezimile, isophondo seqiniso samaProthestani siyoguquka sisuke kwabaseLawodikeya siye kwabaseFiladelfiya. Bayobe bekhishiwe ebandleni, balethwe enhlanganweni yokunyakaza. Bakhishiwe ekuhlangenwe nakho kwebandla lesikhombisa, bangeniswa ekuhlangenwe nakho kwebandla lesithupha. Sebephenduke owesishiyagalombili, ongowabayisikhombisa.

The movement at the beginning of Adventism was the Philadelphian movement, and the Philadelphian movement is restored at the end. The work of the three angels of Revelation chapter fourteen, began as a movement, and it will end as a movement. The Philadelphian movement, represented by the sixth church of Philadelphia died in 1856, and beginning at the end of July in 2023, it is now being resurrected as the eighth, that is of the seven.

Ukunyakaza ekuqaleni kobu-Adventisti kwakuyindlela yaseFiladelfiya, futhi indlela yaseFiladelfiya iyabuyiselwa ekugcineni. Umsebenzi wezingelosi ezintathu zesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nane waqala njengokunyakaza, futhi uyophela njengokunyakaza. Indlela yaseFiladelfiya, emelwe yibandla lesithupha laseFiladelfiya, yafa ngo-1856, futhi kusukela ekupheleni kukaJulayi ngo-2023, manje isivuswa njengelesishiyagalombili, elingelamasikhombisa.

In the same history, the Republican horn is experiencing a parallel death and resurrection, with the sixth president since Reagan at the time of the end in 1989 becoming the eighth president, who is of the seven. The process of transitioning for the Republican horn is represented by its merging together with the horn of apostate Protestantism, which is spiritual fornication and the image of the beast. The Republican horn becomes the eighth, that is of the seven, for it represents an image of the beast of Catholicism, that is the eighth head, that is of the seven heads, in Revelation chapter seventeen, and in Daniel chapter two.

Kulowo mlando ofanayo, uphondo lweRiphabhulikhi lubhekene nokufa nokuvuka okufanayo, lapho umongameli wesithupha kusukela kuReagan ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989 eba ngumongameli wesishiyagalombili, ongowabayisikhombisa. Inqubo yokuguquka kophondo lweRiphabhulikhi imelwe ukuhlangana kwalo ndawonye nophondo lobuProthestani obuhlubukile, okuyisifebe ngokomoya nomfanekiso wesilo. Uphondo lweRiphabhulikhi luba ngolwesishiyagalombili, olungolwayisikhombisa, ngoba lumelela umfanekiso wesilo wobuKatolika, okuyinhloko yesishiyagalombili, engowezinhloko eziyisikhombisa, kusAmbulo isahluko seshumi nesikhombisa, nakuDaniyeli isahluko sesibili.

The political transition of the horn of Republicanism is represented in the period of preparation from 1776 unto 1798. That prophetic period is a necessary key to recognize the unsealing of the hidden secret of Nebuchadnezzar’s image of the beasts. That period of preparation is represented by the period of a thirty-year preparation for both Christ and the antichrist.

Ukuguquka kwezombusazwe kophondo lweRiphabhulikhi kuvezwa esikhathini sokulungiselela kusukela ngowe-1776 kuze kube ngowe-1798. Leso sikhathi sesiprofetho siyisihluthulelo esidingekayo sokuqonda ukwambulwa kwemfihlo efihlekile yomfanekiso kaNebukhadinezari wezilwane. Leso sikhathi sokulungiselela simelelwa yisikhathi seminyaka engamashumi amathathu sokulungiselela kokubili uKristu nomphikukristu.

The sealing time from September 11, 2001 unto the soon coming Sunday law is the prophetic period where the effect of every vision is accomplished. It represents the period that ends with the papacy returning to the throne of the earth as the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven, at the hour of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven. It has therefore been typified by the period that preceded the first time the papacy was enthroned in 538. In 538 the papacy passed a Sunday law at the Council of Orleans, identifying the end of the thirty years of preparation, and typifying the soon coming Sunday law. Jesus never changes, so there must be a period that precedes the Sunday law where the deadly wound is healed, as there was the first time the papacy was enthroned.

Isikhathi sokubekwa uphawu kusukela ngoSepthemba 11, 2001 kuze kufike umthetho weSonto ozayo maduze siyisikhathi sesiprofetho lapho kufezeka khona umphumela wawo wonke umbono. Simelela isikhathi esiphela ngokuba upapa abuyele esihlalweni sobukhosi bomhlaba njengombuso wesishiyagalombili, ongowabayisikhombisa, ngesikhathi sehora “lokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu” lesiSambulo isahluko seshumi nanye. Ngakho-ke sesifanekiselwe yisikhathi esandulela okokuqala ukuba upapa ahlalishwe esihlalweni sobukhosi ngo-538. Ngo-538 upapa wamisa umthetho weSonto eMkhandlwini wase-Orleans, okhomba ukuphela kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselela, futhi okufanekisela umthetho weSonto ozayo maduze. UJesu akaguquki neze, ngakho-ke kumelwe kube khona isikhathi esandulela umthetho weSonto lapho inxeba elibulalayo liphulukiswa khona, njengoba kwaba njalo ngesikhathi sokuqala upapa ehlaliswa esihlalweni sobukhosi.

That period is represented by the histories associated with the waymarks of the years 508, 533 and 538. In the year 508 the period of preparation, or the setting up of the papacy began. The fourth kingdom of pagan Rome, a dragon power, had been subdued, and in 533, Justinian decreed that the papacy was the “head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics.” All that was left in order for the papacy to take control in 538, was the removal of the Goths from the City of Rome, and that took place in the year 538. That thirty-year line of history ran parallel to the birth of Christ, that was followed by the ministry of John, that led to the empowerment of Jesus as the Messiah at His baptism.

Leyo nkathi imelwe yimilando ehlobene nezimpawu zendlela zeminyaka ka-508, 533 no-538. Ngonyaka ka-508 kwaqala inkathi yokulungiselela, noma ukusungulwa kobupapa. Umbuso wesine weRoma yobuhedeni, amandla kadrako, wawunqotshiwe, futhi ngo-533, uJustinian wamemezela ukuthi ubupapa buyi-“nhloko yamabandla, futhi buyisilungisi sabahlubuki.” Konke okwase kusasele ukuze ubupapa buthathe ukubusa ngo-538, kwakuwukususwa kwamaGothi eDolobheni laseRoma, futhi lokho kwenzeka ngonyaka ka-538. Lowo mugqa weminyaka engamashumi amathathu womlando wawuhambisana nokuzalwa kukaKristu, okwalandelwa yinkonzo kaJohane, eyaholela ekugcotshweni kukaJesu njengoMesiya ekubhapathizweni kwaKhe.

The period of preparation in the history of Christ runs parallel with the sealing time, and it addresses the internal line of the Protestant horn, while the period of preparation for the antichrist addresses the external line of the Republican horn. Those two periods provide two witnesses of September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon coming Sunday law. One period is emphasizing the external and the other the internal testimony of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Isikhathi sokulungiselela emlandweni kaKristu sihambisana nesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu, futhi sibhekisa emgqeni wangaphakathi wophondo lwamaProthestani, kuyilapho isikhathi sokulungiselela umphikukristu sibhekisa emgqeni wangaphandle wophondo lwamaRiphabhulikhi. Lezo zikhathi ezimbili zinikeza ofakazi ababili bakaSepthemba 11, 2001, Okthoba 7, 2023, kanye nomthetho weSonto osuzayo maduze. Esinye isikhathi sigcizelela ubufakazi bangaphandle, kanti esinye sigcizelela ubufakazi bangaphakathi besikhathi sokubekwa uphawu sabayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane.

The work of John, as the voice in the wilderness who prepared the way for the Messenger of the Covenant, paralleled the decree of Justinian that prepared the way for the man of sin, who is the messenger of the covenant of death. October 7, 2023 was the warning of what is going to happen when the Sunday law is enforced, as it was in 538. October 7, 2023 parallels 533 in the period of preparation for the first time the papacy was placed on the throne of the earth. It is the warning that at the soon-coming Sunday law, as in 538, the pope will once again become both the head of the churches, and also the corrector of heretics. It is also the warning of the escalating warfare of Islam of the third woe.

Umsebenzi kaJohane, njengezwi elisehlane elalilungisa indlela yesiThunywa sesiVumelwano, wawuhambisana nesimemezelo sikaJustinian esasalungisa indlela yomuntu wesono, oyisithunywa sesivumelwano sokufa. U-Okthoba 7, 2023 wawuyisexwayiso salokho okuyokwenzeka lapho umthetho weSonto uphoqelelwa, njengoba kwaba njalo ngo-538. U-Okthoba 7, 2023 uhambisana no-533 esikhathini sokulungiselela okokuqala upapa ebekwa esihlalweni sobukhosi somhlaba. Uyisexwayiso sokuthi emthethweni weSonto osuzofika maduze, njengango-538, upapa uyophinde abe yinhloko yamabandla, futhi futhi abe ngumqondisi wabahlubuki. Futhi uyisexwayiso ngempi ye-Islam ewukwanda yeshwa lesithathu.

It is the warning identifying Islam (tidings of the east), and the warning of the restoration of the pope (tidings of the north). That warning coincides with the work of the messenger who prepares the way in the last days, for the Messenger of the Covenant, who is to then enter into covenant with the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Kuyisixwayiso esihlonza ubuSulumane (izindaba zasempumalanga), kanye nesixwayiso sokubuyiselwa kukapapa (izindaba zasenyakatho). Leso sixwayiso siyahambisana nomsebenzi wesithunywa esilungisa indlela ezinsukwini zokugcina, ngokuba iSithunywa seSivumelwano, esizakungena-ke esivumelwaneni nabayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane.

The three periods of preparation (the thirty years of Christ and the antichrist, and the sealing time), are also typified by the period of 1776 unto 1798. The ending of the earth beast has a specific period which precedes its ending as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, therefore, the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy must have a prophetic period that precedes the beginning of that kingdom. Alpha and Omega always illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing.

Izikhathi ezintathu zokulungiselela (iminyaka engamashumi amathathu kaKristu kanye nomphikukristu, kanye nesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu), nazo zifanekiselwa yisikhathi esisukela ku-1776 kuya ku-1798. Ukuphela kwesilo somhlaba kunesikhathi esithile esandulela ukuphela kwaso njengombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli; ngakho-ke, ukuqala kwesilo somhlaba njengombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli kufanele kube nesikhathi sesiprofetho esandulela ukuqala kwalowo mbuso. U-Alfa no-Omega ngaso sonke isikhathi kufanekisa ukuphela kwento kanye nokuqala kwento.

1776, 1789 and 1798 represent September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023, and the soon-coming Sunday law. From 1776 unto 1798 the prophetic preparation of the setting up of the sixth kingdom was accomplished, just as the years 508, 533, and 538 represented the preparation of the setting up of the fifth kingdom. They must have these same prophetic characteristics, for the sixth kingdom is to be the image of the fifth kingdom.

1776, 1789 no-1798 zimelela uSepthemba 11, 2001, u-Okthoba 7, 2023, kanye nomthetho weSonto osuzofika maduze. Kusukela ku-1776 kuze kube ngu-1798 ukulungiselelwa kwesiprofetho kokumiswa kombuso wesithupha kwafezeka, njengoba nje iminyaka engu-508, 533, no-538 yayimelela ukulungiselelwa kokumiswa kombuso wesihlanu. Kumele zibe nalezi zimpawu ezifanayo zesiprofetho, ngokuba umbuso wesithupha uzoba ngumfanekiso wombuso wesihlanu.

The thirty years of Christ’s preparation leading to His baptism represent the same period, for when Christ came to confirm the covenant for one week, beginning at His baptism, He was setting up His kingdom of grace. In setting up His kingdom of grace in those seven years, He shed His blood to confirm that kingdom, and in so doing, He left the example of when He would set up His kingdom of glory. That kingdom of glory is the kingdom of Daniel two, that is represented as a stone that is cut out of a mountain without hands. That kingdom Sister White informs us is set up during the latter rain, and the latter rain began on September 11, 2001.

Iminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokulungiselelwa kukaKristu okuholele ekubhapathizweni Kwakhe imelela leso sikhathi esifanayo, ngokuba lapho uKristu eza ukuqinisa isivumelwano isonto elilodwa, kuqala ekubhapathizweni Kwakhe, wayemisa umbuso Wakhe womusa. Ekumiseni umbuso Wakhe womusa kuleyo minyaka eyisikhombisa, wachitha igazi Lakhe ukuze aqinise lowo mbuso, futhi ngokwenza kanjalo, washiya isibonelo sesikhathi ayeyomisa ngaso umbuso Wakhe wenkazimulo. Lowo mbuso wenkazimulo ungumbuso kaDaniyeli isahluko sesibili, omelelwa njengetshe eliqotshwe entabeni kungengazandla. Lowo mbuso uDade White uyasazisa ukuthi umiswa ngesikhathi semvula yokugcina, futhi imvula yokugcina yaqala ngoSepthemba 11, 2001.

> “The latter rain is coming on those that are pure—all then will receive it as formerly.

> “Imvula yokugcina iyeza phezu kwalabo abamsulwa—khona-ke bonke bayoyamukela njengakuqala.

> “When the four angels let go, Christ will set up His kingdom. None receive the latter rain but those who are doing all they can. Christ would help us. All could be overcomers by the grace of God, through the blood of Jesus. All heaven is interested in the work. Angels are interested.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

> “Lapho izingelosi ezine ziyekela, uKristu uyomisa umbuso waKhe. Akekho oyokwamukela imvula yokugcina ngaphandle kwalabo abenza konke abangakwenza. UKristu uyosisiza. Bonke bangaba ngabanqobi ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ngegazi likaJesu. Izulu lonke linesithakazelo emsebenzini. Nezingelosi zinentshisekelo.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

On September 11, 2001 the four winds, which are represented as an angry horse (Islam) were released, and then held in check, while the one hundred and forty-four thousand are being sealed. 1776, 1789 and 1798 represent the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the three dates represent legal enactments that led to the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy being established. The second date of 1789 identifies the Constitution of the United States, and therefore it was the message that identified the Constitution as the twofold power that was to arrive in 1798, just as 533 was the announcement of the twofold power that would arrive in 538, and as John the Baptist announced the twofold power which would arrive at Christ’s baptism.

Ngomhla ka-11 Septhemba 2001, imimoya emine, emelwe njengehhashi elithukuthele (ubuSulumane), yakhululwa, yase ibanjwa ukuba ingaqhubeki, ngesikhathi abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane besabekwa uphawu. U-1776, u-1789 no-1798 bamele isikhathi sokubekwa uphawu kwabayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane, futhi lezi zinsuku ezintathu zimele ukushaywa kwemithetho okwabaholela ekumisweni kombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. Usuku lwesibili, u-1789, lukhomba uMthethosisekelo wase-United States, ngakho-ke kwakungumyalezo owakhomba uMthethosisekelo njengamandla aphindwe kabili ayefanele ukufika ngo-1798, njengoba no-533 wawuyisimemezelo samandla aphindwe kabili ayeyofika ngo-538, nanjengoba uJohane uMbhapathizi amemezela amandla aphindwe kabili ayeyofika ekubhabhathizweni kukaKristu.

The two powers that make up the twofold power of Christ was His example that divinity combined with humanity does not sin. The two powers that make up the twofold power of the antichrist was his enthronement as the head of the churches, and his enthronement as the corrector of heretics. The two powers of that make up the twofold power of the earth beast are the two horns of Republicanism and Protestantism.

Amandla amabili akha amandla aphindwe kabili kaKristu ayeyisibonelo saKhe sokuthi ubunkulunkulu obuhlangene nobuntu abonanga. Amandla amabili akha amandla aphindwe kabili omphikukristu kwakuwukubekwa kwakhe esihlalweni sobukhosi njengenhloko yamabandla, nokubekwa kwakhe esihlalweni sobukhosi njengomlungisi wezihlubuki. Amandla amabili akha amandla aphindwe kabili esilo somhlaba yizimpondo ezimbili zeRiphabhulikhi nobuProthestani.

> “‘And he had two horns like a lamb.’ The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as ‘coming up’ in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that ‘all men are created equal’ and endowed with the inalienable right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.” The Great Controversy, 441.

> “‘Futhi yayinezimpondo ezimbili ezinjengezewundlu.’ Izimpondo ezinjengezewundlu zibonisa ubusha, ubumsulwa, nobumnene, futhi zimelela ngokufaneleyo isimilo se-United States ngesikhathi yethulwa kumprofethi njengaleyo ‘ekhuphukayo’ ngo-1798. Phakathi kwababaleki abangamaKristu abaqala ukubalekela eMelika befuna isiphephelo ekucindezelweni ngamakhosi nasekungabekezelelaneni kwabapristi, kwakukhona abaningi abazinikelayo ekumiseni uhulumeni phezu kwesisekelo esibanzi senkululeko yomphakathi neyenhlalo yenkolo. Imibono yabo yathola indawo eSimemezelweni Senkululeko, esibeka obala iqiniso elikhulu lokuthi ‘bonke abantu badalwe belingana’ futhi banikwe ilungelo elingenakuphucwa ‘lokuphila, lenkululeko, nelokufuna injabulo.’ Futhi uMthethosisekelo uqinisekisa kubantu ilungelo lokuzibusa, ngokubeka ukuthi abamele abakhethwe ngevoti labantu bayakwenza futhi baphathe imithetho. Inkululeko yokukholwa ngokwenkolo nayo yanikezwa, umuntu ngamunye evunyelwa ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ngokuvumelana nezwi lonembeza wakhe. UbuRiphabhulikhi nobuProthestani baba yizimiso eziyisisekelo zesizwe. Lezi zimiso ziyimfihlo yamandla nokuchuma kwaso. Abacindezelweyo nabanyathelwe phansi kulo lonke elamaKristu baye baphendukela kuleli zwe ngentshisekelo nangethemba. Izigidi zifune ugu lwalo, futhi i-United States ikhuphuke yafinyelela endaweni phakathi kwezizwe ezinamandla kakhulu emhlabeni.” The Great Controversy, 441.

1776, 1789 and 1798 represent three histories that emphasize that the eighth, is of the seven. 1776 represents the publication of the Declaration of Independence, and the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses. 1789 represents the publication of the Constitution and the History of the Articles of Confederation. 1798 represents the publication of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

U-1776, u-1789 no-1798 bamele izikhathi ezintathu ezigcizelela ukuthi owesishiyagalombili ungowabayisikhombisa. U-1776 umelela ukushicilelwa kweSimemezelo Sokuzimela, nomlando weKhongolose Yezwekazi yokuQala neyesiBili. U-1789 umelela ukushicilelwa koMthethosisekelo nomlando weZihloko Zobumbano. U-1798 umelela ukushicilelwa kweMithetho Yabokufika neYokuvukela Umbuso, kanye nokuqala kwesilo somhlaba njengombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli.

The First Continental Congress occurred in 1774, and was a pivotal institution in the early history of the United States, serving as a governing body during the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Congresses are divided into two prophetic periods of the first congress and the last congress. The First Continental Congress had two presidents and convened in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26, 1774. Peyton Randolph was the first president of the meeting from September 5 to October 22, and then Henry Middleton presided for the next five days until October 26, 1774.

INgqungquthela Yokuqala Yezwekazi yenzeka ngo-1774, futhi yaba yisikhungo esibaluleke kakhulu emlandweni wokuqala wase-United States, isebenza njengomkhandlu obusayo ngesikhathi seMpi Yenguquko yaseMelika. Izingqungquthela Zezwekazi zihlukaniswe zaba yizikhathi ezimbili ezingokwesiprofetho: ingqungquthela yokuqala nengqungquthela yokugcina. INgqungquthela Yokuqala Yezwekazi yaba nabongameli ababili futhi yahlangana ePhiladelphia kusukela ngoSepthemba 5 kuya ku-Okthoba 26, 1774. UPeyton Randolph wayengumongameli wokuqala womhlangano kusukela ngoSepthemba 5 kuya ku-Okthoba 22, kwase kuba uHenry Middleton owengamela ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ezalandela kwaze kwaba ngu-Okthoba 26, 1774.

The Second Continental Congress occurred from 1775 until 1781. The Second Continental Congress had six presidents during its existence. Peyton Randolph presided as president from May 10, 1775 until May 24, 1775. He was the first president of both the First and also of the Second Continental Congresses. There was a total of eight presidents during the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses.

I-Second Continental Congress yaba khona kusukela ngowe-1775 kuze kube ngowe-1781. I-Second Continental Congress yaba nabamongameli abayisithupha phakathi nesikhathi sokuba khona kwayo. UPeyton Randolph wengamela njengoMongameli kusukela ngoMeyi 10, 1775 kuze kube nguMeyi 24, 1775. Wayengumongameli wokuqala kokubili we-First kanye nowe-Second Continental Congress. Kwakukhona isamba sabamongameli abayisishiyagalombili kuwo wonke umlando we-First ne-Second Continental Congresses.

The second president of the Second Continental Congress was John Hancock, and Hancock presided from May 24, 1775 until October 31, 1777. Henry Laurens presided from November 1, 1777 until December 9, 1778. John Jay presided from December 10, 1778 until September 28, 1779. Samuel Huntington presided from September 28, 1779 until July 9, 1781. Thomas McKean presided from July 10, 1781 until November 4, 1781.

Umongameli wesibili weKhongolose Yesibili Yezwekazi kwakunguJohn Hancock, futhi uHancock waba ngumongameli kusukela ngoMeyi 24, 1775 kwaze kwaba ngu-Okthoba 31, 1777. UHenry Laurens waba ngumongameli kusukela ngoNovemba 1, 1777 kwaze kwaba nguDisemba 9, 1778. UJohn Jay waba ngumongameli kusukela ngoDisemba 10, 1778 kwaze kwaba nguSepthemba 28, 1779. USamuel Huntington waba ngumongameli kusukela ngoSepthemba 28, 1779 kwaze kwaba nguJulayi 9, 1781. UThomas McKean waba ngumongameli kusukela ngoJulayi 10, 1781 kwaze kwaba nguNovemba 4, 1781.

Peyton Randolph was the first president of both the First and Second Continental Congresses. This identifies that during the two periods of the Continental Congresses there were eight presidents, but the president that was the first president of each of the two periods was the same person. Therefore, though there were eight presidential terms, there were actually only seven presidents. The first president was of the seven men who were presidents, but as Randolph presided twice in that history, he also represents the eighth, that was of the seven.

UPeyton Randolph wayengumongameli wokuqala wazo zombili iKhongolose Yezwekazi yokuQala neyesiBili. Lokhu kukhomba ukuthi phakathi kwezikhathi ezimbili zamaKhongolose Ezwekazi kwakukhona omongameli abayisishiyagalombili, kodwa umongameli owayengumongameli wokuqala kuleso naleso salezo zikhathi ezimbili wayengumuntu ofanayo. Ngakho-ke, nakuba kwakukhona izikhathi zobumongameli eziyisishiyagalombili, empeleni kwakukhona omongameli abayisikhombisa kuphela. Umongameli wokuqala wayengowabayisikhombisa amadoda ayengomongameli, kodwa njengoba uRandolph wengamela kabili kulowo mlando, futhi umelela owesishiyagalombili, owayengowabayisikhombisa.

In the history of the Continental Congresses, the Revolutionary War was managed by the Congress. For this reason, George Washington was never a president in that period, for he had been appointed as the first Commander and Chief over the military.

Emlandweni wamaKhongolose Ezwekazi, iMpi Yenguquko yayiqondiswa yiKhongolose. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, uGeorge Washington akazange abe ngumongameli ngaleso sikhathi, ngoba wayemiswe njengoMlawuli Omkhulu wokuqala phezu kwezempi.

Being the first president of both periods Randolph represents two witnesses typifying the first actual president, who was George Washington. Washington is represented by Randolph, and therefore Randolph, as a symbol of Washington, conveys both the prophetic characteristics of Randolph the first president, but also that Randolph was the eighth, that was of the seven. Thus George Washington, as the first president and the first Commander and Chief, was also prophetically the eighth, and was of the seven.

Njengoba enguMongameli wokuqala kuzo zombili lezo zikhathi, uRandolph umele ofakazi ababili abafanekisela umongameli wokuqala wangempela, owayenguGeorge Washington. UWashington umelelwa nguRandolph, ngakho-ke uRandolph, njengophawu lukaWashington, uveza kokubili izici zesiprofetho zikaRandolph umongameli wokuqala, kodwa futhi nokuthi uRandolph wayengowesishiyagalombili, owayevela kwabeyisikhombisa. Ngalokho uGeorge Washington, njengomongameli wokuqala nangoMkhuzi Omkhulu wokuqala, naye ngokwesiprofetho wayengowesishiyagalombili, futhi wayevela kwabeyisikhombisa.

Jesus illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning, so the last president and Commander and Chief will be the eighth, that is of the seven. This prophetic fact is established in the history of the First and Second Continental Congresses which is represented by the date of the first waymark of 1776, and publication of the Declaration of Independence.

UJesu ufanekisa ukuphela kwento ngesiqalo, ngakho-ke umongameli wokugcina noMkhuzi Omkhulu uyoba ngowesishiyagalombili, okungukuthi, ungowabayisikhombisa. Leli qiniso lesiprofetho lisungulwa emlandweni weNgqungquthela Yezwekazi yokuQala neyesiBili, emelwe usuku lwe-waymark yokuqala ka-1776, kanye nokushicilelwa kweSimemezelo Senkululeko.

The waymark of 1776 typifies September 11, 2001, and the Patriot Act, where American independence was placed under the authority of Roman law, and no longer under English law. It marks the beginning of the prophetic period that prepares the way for the papacy to once again take the throne of the earth at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Uphawu lwendlela luka-1776 lufanekisela umhla kaSepthemba 11, 2001, kanye noMthetho we-Patriot Act, lapho ukuzimela kweMelika kwabekwa ngaphansi kwegunya lomthetho waseRoma, kungasekho ngaphansi komthetho waseNgilandi. Luphawula ukuqala kwesikhathi sesiprofetho esilungisa indlela yokuba upapa aphinde athathe isihlalo sobukhosi somhlaba emthethweni weSonto osondelayo.

As with the prophetic period represented by 1776, the prophetic period represented the history from the conclusion of the Second Continental Congress in 1781 to 1789, which is the date that identifies the waymark associated with the publication of the Constitution. In that history there were also eight presidents. The history of 1781 to 1789 is the history of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation represented the first Constitution, but the weakness of the Articles of Confederation led to its replacement, and the ratification of the Constitution in 1789.

Njengasesikhathini esiyisiprofetho esimelwe ngu-1776, lesi sikhathi esiyisiprofetho simele umlando kusukela ekuphethweni kwe-Second Continental Congress ngo-1781 kuya ku-1789, okuyilo suku olukhomba uphawu lwendlela oluhlotshaniswa nokushicilelwa koMthethosisekelo. Kulo mlando kwakukhona futhi omongameli abayisishiyagalombili. Umlando ka-1781 kuya ku-1789 ungumlando we-Articles of Confederation. I-Articles of Confederation yayimele uMthethosisekelo wokuqala, kodwa ubuthakathaka be-Articles of Confederation baholela ekutheni ithathelwe indawo, nasekuqinisekisweni koMthethosisekelo ngo-1789.

In that period the eight presidents consisted of seven presidents who were not presidents in the history of the two Continental Congresses, and one who was also a president in that first prophetic period. John Hancock served in both the second Continental Congress, and also in the period represented by the Articles of Confederation. At the prophetic level, there were only seven men who were president during the two Continental Congresses, thus prophetically John Hancock was one of the eight in the period of the Articles of Confederation, but he was also one of the seven men from the previous period. He was therefore the eighth, that was of the seven.

Kuleso sikhathi omongameli abayisishiyagalombili babenezinhlelo zokuthi kube khona omongameli abayisikhombisa ababengabongameli emlandweni wama-Continental Congresses amabili, kanye noyedwa owayengumongameli futhi kuleyo nkathi yokuqala yesiprofetho. UJohn Hancock wasebenza kokubili e-Second Continental Congress, futhi nasesikhathini esimelelwa yi-Articles of Confederation. Ezingeni lesiprofetho, kwakukhona amadoda ayisikhombisa kuphela ayengumongameli phakathi nama-Continental Congresses amabili; ngalokho ngokwesiprofetho uJohn Hancock wayengomunye wabayisishiyagalombili esikhathini se-Articles of Confederation, kodwa futhi wayengomunye wamadoda ayisikhombisa enkathini eyandulelayo. Ngakho-ke wayengowesishiyagalombili, owayengowabayisikhombisa.

The second prophetic period, represented by 1789, also had a president (Hancock) who was the eighth, but of the seven, as was Payton Randolph in the first prophetic period represented by 1776. 1789 aligns with and represents the January 6, 2021 Pelosi trials.

Isikhathi sesibili sesiprofetho, esimelwe ngu-1789, naso saba nomongameli (uHancock) owayengowesishiyagalombili, kodwa engowabayisikhombisa, njengoba kwakunjalo ngoPayton Randolph esikhathini sokuqala sesiprofetho esimelwe ngu-1776. U-1789 uyahambelana nezivivinyo zikaPelosi zangoJanuwari 6, 2021 futhi uzimele.

> “The Lord has faithful watchmen on the walls of Zion to cry aloud and spare not, to lift up their voice like a trumpet, and show His people their transgression and the house of Jacob their sins. The Lord has permitted the enemy of truth to make a determined effort against the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. He designs by this means to awaken a decided interest in that question which is a test for the last days. This will open the way for the third angel’s message to be proclaimed with power.

> “INkosi inabalindi abathembekileyo ezindongeni zaseSiyoni ukuba bamemeze ngezwi elikhulu, bangagodli lutho, baphakamise izwi labo njengecilongo, babonise abantu baYo isiphambeko sabo, nendlu kaJakobe izono zayo. INkosi ivumele isitha seqiniso ukuba senze umzamo oqinileyo wokulwa neSabatha yomthetho wesine. Ngaleyo ndlela ihlose ukuvusa intshisekelo eqinileyo kulowo mbuzo oyisivivinyo sezinsuku zokugcina. Lokhu kuyovula indlela yokuba umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu umenyezelwe ngamandla.”

> “Let not one who believes the truth, be silent now. None should be careless now; let all urge their petitions at the throne of grace, pleading the promise, ‘Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do’ (John 14:13). It is a perilous time now. If this land of boasted liberty is preparing to sacrifice every principle which enters into her Constitution, making decrees to suppress religious freedom, and for the enforcing of papal falsehood and delusion, then the people of God need to present their petitions in faith to the Most High. There is every encouragement, in the promises of God, for those who put their trust in Him. The prospect of being brought into personal danger and distress, need not cause despondency, but should quicken the vigor and hopes of God’s people; for the time of their peril is the season for God to grant them clearer manifestations of His power.

> “Makangathuli buthule manje okholwa yiqiniso. Akukho noyedwa okufanele abe budedengu manje; bonke mabaphuthumise izicelo zabo esihlalweni sobukhosi somusa, bebambelele esithembisweni esithi, ‘Noma yini eniyakuyicela egameni lami, lokho ngiyakukwenza’ (Johane 14:13). Manje kuyisikhathi esiyingozi. Uma leli zwe, elizigqaja ngenkululeko, lilungiselela ukunikela ngazo zonke izimiso ezingena kuMthethosisekelo walo, lenza izimiso zokucindezela inkululeko yenkolo, nokuphoqelela amanga nokudukisa kobupapa, khona-ke abantu bakaNkulunkulu badinga ukwethula izicelo zabo ngokukholwa koPhezukonke. Kuzo zonke izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu kukhona ukukhuthazwa okuphelele kulabo ababeka ithemba labo kuYe. Ithemba lokulethwa engozini nasekucindezelekeni ngokwabo alidingi ukubangela ukuphelelwa yithemba, kodwa kufanele livuselele amandla nethemba labantu bakaNkulunkulu; ngokuba isikhathi sengozi yabo siyisikhathi sokuba uNkulunkulu abanike izibonakaliso ezicace ngokwengeziwe zamandla aKhe.”

> “We are not to sit in calm expectancy of oppression and tribulation, and fold our hands, doing nothing to avert the evil. Let our united cries be sent up to heaven. Pray and work, and work and pray. But let none act rashly. Learn as never before that you must be meek and lowly in heart. You must not bring a railing accusation against any, whether individuals or churches. Learn to deal with minds as Christ did. Sharp things must sometimes be spoken; but be sure that the Holy Spirit of God is abiding in your heart before you speak the clear-cut truth; then let it cut its way. You are not to do the cutting.” Selected Messages, book 2, 370.

> “Asifanele ukuhlala ngokulindela okuzolile ukucindezelwa nosizi, bese sisonge izandla zethu, singenzi lutho ukuvimba ububi. Makukhushulwe ezulwini ukukhala kwethu okuhlangene. Khulekani nisebenze, futhi nisebenze nikhuleke. Kodwa makungabikho noyedwa owenza ngokuxhamazela. Fundani kunanini ngaphambili ukuthi kufanele nibe mnene futhi nithobeke ngenhliziyo. Akumelwe nilethe isimangalo esihlabayo ngakho nanoma ubani, kungaba ngabantu ngabanye noma ngamabandla. Fundani ukubhekana nezingqondo njengoba uKristu enza. Ngezinye izikhathi kufanele kukhulunywe izinto ezibukhali; kodwa qinisekani ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu uhlala enhliziyweni yenu ngaphambi kokuba nikhulume iqiniso elicacile nelibukhali; khona-ke malingene lisike indlela yalo. Akusini enimele nenze ukusika.” Selected Messages, incwadi 2, 370.

The second waymark in the prophetic period of preparation represented by the Constitution identifies that the Constitution is to be overturned at the next waymark. That second waymark has been typified by John the Baptist, and also by the decree of Justinian, which both identified and presented a warning in connection with the arrival of the last event represented in the period. For John it was the empowerment of Christ as He confirmed His covenant of life with His precious blood, and for Justinian it was the empowerment of the antichrist, who was to ratify his covenant of death with the blood of the martyrs.

Uphawu lwesibili esikhathini sesiprofetho sokulungiselela esimelwe yiMthethosisekelo lukhomba ukuthi uMthethosisekelo kufanele ugumbuqelwe ophawini olulandelayo. Lolo phawu lwesibili lufanekiswe nguJohane uMbhapathizi, futhi nangomyalo kaJustinian, okuyikho kokubili okwakhomba futhi kwethula isixwayiso mayelana nokufika kwesigameko sokugcina esimelwe kuleso sikhathi. KuJohane kwakungukunikezwa amandla kukaKristu njengoba eqinisa isivumelwano saKhe sokuphila ngegazi laKhe eliyigugu, kanti kuJustinian kwakungukunikezwa amandla komphikukristu, owayezokuqinisa isivumelwano sakhe sokufa ngegazi labafel’ ukholo.

The Constitution in 1789 identified the empowerment of the two horns of the earth beast, and in so doing, 1789 identified the soon coming destruction of the earth beast’s two horns of power, as represented by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798. When the two witnesses were slain in the streets in the year 2020, they identified and warned of a sustained attack upon the Constitution that are symbolized by the January 6, 2021, Pelosi trials.

UMthethosisekelo ngo-1789 wabonisa ukunikezwa amandla kwezimpondo ezimbili zesilo sasemhlabeni, futhi ngalokho, u-1789 wabonisa ukubhujiswa okuseduze kwezimpondo ezimbili zamandla zesilo sasemhlabeni, njengoba kufanekiswa yi-Alien and Sedition Acts ngo-1798. Lapho ofakazi ababili bebulawa ezitaladini ngonyaka ka-2020, babonisa futhi baxwayisa ngokuhlaselwa okuqhubekayo kuMthethosisekelo, okufanekiswa ukuqulwa kukaPelosi kwangoJanuwari 6, 2021.

January 6, 2021 is the warning about the empowerment of the papacy at the soon-coming Sunday law, as typified by the decree of Justinian in the year 533. January 6, 2021 and the year 533, both give warning of the soon coming Sunday law, as typified by the Sunday law in 538 at the Council of Orleans, and by the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, which typified the earth beast speaking as a dragon at the soon coming Sunday law.

Umhla ka-6 kuMasingana, 2021 uyisixwayiso mayelana nokunikezwa amandla kobupapa emthethweni weSonto osuzofika maduzane, njengoba kufanekiswe yisimemezelo sikaJustinian ngonyaka ka-533. Umhla ka-6 kuMasingana, 2021 kanye nonyaka ka-533, kokubili kunikeza isixwayiso ngomthetho weSonto osuzofika maduzane, njengoba kufanekiswe ngumthetho weSonto ngo-538 eMkhandlwini wase-Orleans, nangemiThetho ye-Alien and Sedition ngo-1798, eyafanisa isilo somhlaba sikhuluma njengodrako emthethweni weSonto osuzofika maduzane.

At the Sunday law the deadly wound of the papacy will be healed, and the eighth head of Revelation chapter seventeen, that is of the seven heads, will be resurrected. The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, represents the earth beast speaking as a dragon, when it not only enforces the worship of the sun, but thereafter forces the entire world to accept the authority of the sea beast of Revelation chapter thirteen, as the eighth head that is of the seven heads. Therefore, in each of the three periods represented within the period of preparation by 1776, 1789 and 1798, the prophetic enigma of the eighth, being of the seven is prophetically represented.

Ngomthetho weSonto, inxeba elibulalayo lobupapa liyophulukiswa, futhi ikhanda lesishiyagalombili lesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nesikhombisa, elingelesikhombisa amakhanda, liyovuswa. Imithetho ye-Alien and Sedition ka-1798 imelela isilo somhlaba sikhuluma njengodrako, lapho singagcini nje ngokuphoqelela ukukhulekelwa kwelanga kuphela, kodwa emva kwalokho siphoqelele umhlaba wonke ukuba wamukele igunya lesilo solwandle sesAmbulo isahluko seshumi nantathu, njengekhanda lesishiyagalombili elingelesikhombisa amakhanda. Ngakho-ke, esikhathini ngasinye kwezintathu ezimelwe ngaphakathi kwenkathi yokulungiselela ngo-1776, 1789 no-1798, imfumbe yesiprofetho yesishiyagalombili, esingelesikhombisa, imelwe ngokwesiprofetho.

The first two waymarks (1776 and 1789), that identify the enigma, address the riddle being accomplished within the prophetic history of the earth beast, and the third waymark identifies the enigma being accomplished for the papal power.

Izimpawu zokuqala ezimbili zendlela (1776 no-1789), ezikhomba imfumbe, zikhuluma ngemfumbe efezwa ngaphakathi komlando wesiprofetho wesilo somhlaba, kanti uphawu lwesithathu lwendlela lukhomba imfumbe efezwa ngamandla obupapa.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Sizoqhubeka nalesi sifundo esihlokweni esilandelayo.

> “‘Saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ Here is clearly presented a form of government in which the legislative power rests with the people, a most striking evidence that the United States is the nation denoted in the prophecy.

> “‘Bethi kwabakhileyo emhlabeni ukuthi mabawenze umfanekiso wesilo.’ Lapha kuvezwa ngokucacile uhlobo lombuso lapho amandla okushaya imithetho eseandleni sabantu, okuwubufakazi obugqame kakhulu bokuthi i-United States iyisizwe esikhonjiswe kulesi siprofetho.

> “But what is the ‘image to the beast’? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the beast. It is also called an image of the beast. Then to learn what the image is like and how it is to be formed we must study the characteristics of the beast itself—the papacy.

> “Kodwa siyini ‘isithombe sesilo’? futhi siyokwakhiwa kanjani? Isithombe senziwa yisilo esinezimpondo ezimbili, futhi siyisithombe sesilo. Sibizwa futhi ngokuthi isithombe sesilo. Ngakho-ke, ukuze sazi ukuthi isithombe sinjani nokuthi siyokwakhiwa kanjani, kumelwe sifunde izimpawu zesilo uqobo lwaso—ubupapa.

> “When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of ‘heresy.’ In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.

> “Lapho ibandla lokuqala lonakaliswa ngokusuka ekululameni kwevangeli nangokwamukela imikhosi namasiko obuqaba, lalahlekelwa nguMoya namandla kaNkulunkulu; futhi ukuze lilawule onembeza babantu, lafuna ukwesekwa ngamandla ezwe. Umphumela kwaba ubupapa, ibandla elalilawula amandla ombuso futhi lawasebenzisa ukuqhubekisela phambili izinhloso zalo, ikakhulukazi ekujeziseni ‘ukuhlubuka.’ Ukuze i-United States yakhe umfanekiso wesilo, amandla enkolo kumelwe alawule umbuso kahulumeni ngezinga lokuthi igunya lombuso nalo lisetshenziswe yibandla ukufeza izinhloso zalo.”

> “Whenever the church has obtained secular power, she has employed it to punish dissent from her doctrines. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. An example of this is given in the long-continued persecution of dissenters by the Church of England. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, thousands of nonconformist ministers were forced to flee from their churches, and many, both of pastors and people, were subjected to fine, imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom.

> “Noma nini ibandla selithole amandla ezwe, liwasebenzisile ukuze lijezise ukuphikisa izimfundiso zalo. Amabandla amaProthestani alandele ezinyathelweni zaseRoma ngokwakha ubudlelwano namandla omhlaba abonakalise isifiso esifanayo sokunciphisa inkululeko kanembeza. Isibonelo salokhu sibonakala ekushushisweni okwaqhubeka isikhathi eside kwabaphikisi yiBandla laseNgilandi. Phakathi nekhulu leshumi nesithupha neleshumi nesikhombisa, izinkulungwane zabefundisi abangavumelani nemigomo yebandla baphoqeleka ukuba babaleke emasontweni abo, futhi abaningi, kokubili kubefundisi nakubantu, babhekana nenhlawulo, ukuboshwa, ukuhlushwa, nokufel’ ukholo.”

> “It was apostasy that led the early church to seek the aid of the civil government, and this prepared the way for the development of the papacy—the beast. Said Paul: ‘There’ shall ‘come a falling away, … and that man of sin be revealed.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:3. So apostasy in the church will prepare the way for the image to the beast.

> “Kwaba ukuhlubuka okwaholela ibandla lokuqala ukuba lifune usizo kuhulumeni womphakathi, futhi lokhu kwalungisa indlela yokuthuthuka kobupapa—isilo. UPawulu wathi: ‘Kuyakuza ukuhlubuka, … nomuntu wesono abonakaliswe.’ 2 Thesalonika 2:3. Ngakho ukuhlubuka ebandleni kuyolungisa indlela yomfanekiso wesilo.

> “The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord there will exist a state of religious declension similar to that in the first centuries. ‘In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.’ 2 Timothy 3:1–5. ‘Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.’ 1 Timothy 4:1. Satan will work ‘with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.’ And all that ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ will be left to accept ‘strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9–11. When this state of ungodliness shall be reached, the same results will follow as in the first centuries.” The Great Controversy, 443, 444.

> “IBhayibheli limemezela ukuthi ngaphambi kokufika kweNkosi kuyakuba khona isimo sokuwohloka kwenkolo esifana naleso esasikhona emakhulwini okuqala eminyaka. ‘Ezinsukwini zokugcina kuzakuvela izikhathi ezinzima. Ngokuba abantu bayakuba ngabazithandayo bona, abahahayo, abaqhoshayo, abazidlayo, abahlambalazayo, abangalaleli abazali, abangabongiyo, abangcwele, abangenalo uthando lwemvelo, abangagcini izivumelwano, abamangaleli bamanga, abangazithibi, abanolaka, abadelela abalungileyo, abayizihlubuki, abanamawala, abaziphakamisayo, abathanda injabulo kunokuthanda uNkulunkulu; benesimo sokumesaba uNkulunkulu, kepha bephika amandla akho.’ 2 Thimothewu 3:1–5. ‘Kepha uMoya usho ngokusobala ukuthi ngezikhathi zokugcina abanye bayakuhlubuka ekukholweni, benaka imimoya edukisayo nezimfundiso zamademoni.’ 1 Thimothewu 4:1. USathane uyakusebenza ‘ngawo wonke amandla, nezibonakaliso, nezimangaliso zamanga, nangakho konke ukukhohlisa kokungalungi.’ Futhi bonke ‘abangalwamukelanga uthando lweqiniso, ukuze basindiswe,’ bayakuyekelwa ukuba bamukele ‘ukudukiswa okunamandla, ukuze bakholwe amanga.’ 2 Thesalonika 2:9–11. Lapho lesi simo sokungamesabi uNkulunkulu sesifinyelelwe, imiphumela efanayo iyakuba khona njengasemakhulwini okuqala eminyaka.” The Great Controversy, 443, 444.
