God promisim Abraham bae pikinini bilong datfala woman kam from laen bilong hem. Olketa Israelite kam from laen bilong Abraham. Taem olketa stap long Egypt and kamap staka, olketa bilong Egypt start for spoelem olketa. Satan laek for finisim pipol bilong God bikos hem no laekem datfala pikinini for kam.

Bifor diswan happen, Jehovah talem pipol bilong hem wea no faithful abaotem wanem olketa bilong Babylon bae duim long olketa. (2 Ki. 20:16-18) And tu, Jehovah talem olketa Israelite bae hem no letem eni king bilong olketa for sidaon moa long “throne” bilong hem long Jerusalem. (1 Chron. 29:23) Bat Jehovah promisim gogo wanfala wea garem “raet” for rul and wea kam from laen bilong King David bae hem kamap king.—Ezek. 21:25-27.

¹⁰ Narafala profesi showimaot olketa Jew bae gohed for worshipim God long temple long Jerusalem taem Messiah hem kam.

Bat hem no wei bilong olketa long Babylon for letem olketa prisoner go free. So hao nao bae pipol bilong God go bak long hom bilong olketa? Jehovah showimaot ansa bilong kwestin hia long olketa profet bilong hem.—Amos 3:7.

11. Olketa wanem samting long profesi bilong Daniel and John nao piksarem Babylon? (Lukim footnote.)

Hem laek for killim dae evri Jew wea stap long there. Haman talem olketa long Persia for killim dae olketa Jew long day wea hem markem. Bat Jehovah protectim moa pipol bilong hem from pikinini bilong Satan wea barava heitim olketa. (Esther 1:1-3; 3:8, 9; 8:3, 9-14) Dastawe hem fitim for sei Media and Persia nao mek-foa hed bilong datfala wild animal long Revelation.

Jehovah talem Daniel datfala goat hem piksarem Greece and datfala big horn hem piksarem wanfala king bilong hem.

Nomata Daniel raetem datfala profesi samting olsem tu handred year bifor Greece kamap world paoa, evri part bilong profesi hia hem kam tru. Datfala big horn hem piksarem Alexander the Great. No eni nara king long Greece bifor hem winim hem, and hem nao komanda bilong army wea faetem Media and Persia.

(Rev. 17:10) Rome nao mek-six hed bilong datfala wild animal, and hem duim samting wea mekem wanfala important part bilong datfala profesi long Genesis 3:15 hem kam tru. Satan iusim olketa bigman bilong Rome for “killim leg” bilong pikinini bilong datfala woman. Hao nao hem duim datwan? Olketa bilong Rome sei Jesus hem againstim gavman bilong olketa so olketa judgem hem and killim hem dae. (Matt. 27:26) Bat datfala garekil hem heal bikos Jehovah mekem Jesus for laef bak.

3. Wanem nao datfala animal wea garem tenfala horn hem piksarem, and wanem nao tenfala horn hia piksarem?

³ Iumi fit for luksavve wanem nao datfala mek-seven hed hem piksarem sapos iumi comparem samting wea John talem long Revelation chapter 13 abaotem datfala wild animal, witim samting wea Daniel talem abaotem animal wea garem tenfala horn.a (Readim Daniel 7:7, 8, 23, 24.) Datfala animal wea garem tenfala horn hem piksarem Rome. (Lukim chart long page 12 and 13.) Long mek-faev century C.E., Rome, wea hem world paoa long datfala taem, hem start for divaed. Tenfala horn bilong datfala animal wea Daniel lukim hem piksarem olketa gavman wea kamaot from Rome.

4, 5. (a) Wanem nao datfala smol horn hem duim? (b) Wanem nao mek-seven hed bilong datfala wild animal hem piksarem?

⁴ Long profesi bilong Daniel abaotem datfala animal wea garem tenfala horn, hem storyim narafala smol horn wea grow and changem thrifala long tenfala horn hia. Datfala profesi hem kam tru taem Britain, wea Rome hem rulim long firstaem, hem start for kamap strong. Nara thrifala kantri wea Rome hem rulim tu hem Spain, Netherlands, and France, and olketa strong winim Britain go kasem mek-17 century.

6. Wanem nao mek-seven hed bilong datfala wild animal hem duim long pipol bilong God?

⁶ No longtaem bihaen day bilong Lord hem start, datfala mek-seven hed attakim pipol bilong God, wea datwan minim olketa brata bilong Christ wea stap yet long earth. (Matt. 25:40) Jesus sei samfala pikinini bilong datfala woman bae stap yet long earth taem day bilong Lord hem start, and bae olketa busy for duim waka wea Jesus givim long olketa. (Matt. 24:45-47; Gal. 3:26-29) Datfala England and America World Paoa faetem olketa anointed Christian hia.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA WORLD PAOA AND FEET WEA IRON AND CLAY

7. Wanem part bilong datfala maeti image nao hem piksarem sem samting olsem mek-seven hed bilong datfala wild animal?

⁷ Feet bilong datfala maeti image piksarem sem samting wea mek-seven hed bilong datfala wild animal hem piksarem. Tufala evriwan piksarem England and America World Paoa. Britain hem kamaot from Rome, and from America hem kamaot from Britain, hem stret for sei America tu hem kamaot from Rome. Dastawe feet bilong datfala maeti image garem iron insaed. Bat feet hia garem clay insaed tu. (Readim Daniel 2:41-43.) Feet hia wea garem iron and clay insaed hem piksarem sem samting wea mek-seven hed bilong datfala wild animal hem piksarem, wea hem nao rul bilong England and America World Paoa. Samting wea man wakem from iron and clay hem no strong olsem samting wea man wakem from iron. Long sem wei, datfala England and America World Paoa hem no strong olsem Rome. Wanem nao mekem hem no strong?

8, 9. (a) Wanem nao datfala mek-seven world paoa duim wea showimaot hem strong olsem iron? (b) Wanem nao clay long feet bilong datfala image hem piksarem?

⁸ Samfala taem datfala England and America World Paoa hem strong olsem iron. Olsem example, hem showimaot hem strong olsem iron taem hem winim World War I and World War II. Kam kasem distaem, hem duim staka nara samting tu wea showimaot hem strong.c Nomata olsem, start kam long taem wea datfala world paoa hem rul, datfala iron hem mix witim clay.

⁹ For longtaem finis, olketa wea worshipim Jehovah laek for savve wanem nao feet bilong datfala image hem piksarem. Daniel 2:41 showimaot feet wea iron and clay hem piksarem wanfala gavman nomoa, no staka. So clay hem piksarem wanfala samting insaed long datfala England and America World Paoa wea mekem hem no strong olsem Rome, wea hem iron. Profesi bilong Daniel hem sei datfala clay hem piksarem “evri difren kaen pipol,” wea minim olketa man nating. (Dan. 2:43) Pipol nao mekem datfala England and America World Paoa no strong long wei wea olketa campaign for raet bilong olketa, iusim olketa union for kasem raet long waka, and wei wea samfala kantri laek independent. Pipol nao stopem disfala world paoa for no strong olsem iron. Nara samting tu, pipol no savve agree saed long politik, and taem wanfala bigman hem win long election long tu-thri vote nomoa, hem no garem paoa for duim wanem hem promis for duim. Daniel hem sei: “Datfala gavman bae strong and bae hem wik tu.”—Dan. 2:42; 2 Tim. 3:1-3.

10, 11. (a) Wanem nao bae happen long “feet” bilong datfala image? (b) Wanem nao iumi savve abaotem olketa toe bilong datfala image?

¹⁰ Distaem, Britain and America gohed fren gud tugeta, and plande taem olketa waka tugeta long olketa important samting wea happen long world. Long profesi abaotem datfala maeti image, feet nao last part bilong hem. Long profesi abaotem datfala wild animal, mek-seven hed nao hem last hed. Diswan showimaot no eni nara world paoa bae changem datfala England and America World Paoa. Nomata hem no strong olsem Rome, wea hem nao iron leg bilong datfala image, datfala England and America World Paoa bae no isisi lusim paoa bilong hem, bat wanfala samting nao bae finisim hem.

¹¹ Waswe, haomas toe datfala image garem hem piksarem eni samting? Long samfala nara vision Daniel storyim samfala namba. Olsem example, Daniel talem namba bilong horn wea samfala animal garem. Olketa namba hia hem important. Bat Daniel no storyim haomas toe nao datfala image garem. So luk olsem haomas toe datfala image garem hem no important, olsem haomas hand, finger, leg, or feet wea datfala image garem hem no important tu. Bat Daniel hem sei olketa toe hia hem iron and clay. Datwan showimaot England and America nao bae world paoa taem datfala “ston,” wea piksarem Kingdom bilong God, hem bangam feet bilong datfala image.—Dan. 2:45.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA AND DATFALA WILD ANIMAL WEA GAREM TUFALA HORN

12, 13. Wanem nao datfala wild animal wea garem tufala horn hem piksarem, and wanem nao hem duim?

¹² Nomata datfala England and America World Paoa hem iron and clay, olketa vision wea Jesus givim long John showimaot datfala world paoa bae gohed for duim samfala important samting long olketa last day. John lukim wanfala wild animal wea garem tufala horn and wea toktok olsem wanfala big snek. Wanem nao disfala animal hem piksarem? From hem garem tufala horn, hem piksarem tufala gavman wea waka tugeta. So disfala animal tu hem piksarem datfala England and America World Paoa, bat long disfala vision hem duim wanfala samting wea difren.—Readim Revelation 13:11-15.

¹³ Datfala animal wea garem tufala horn hem talem olketa long earth for wakem wanfala karving wea luk olsem datfala wild animal wea garem sevenfala hed. John sei disfala karving wea luk olsem datfala wild animal bae kamap, then bae hem nomoa, then bae hem kamap moa. Diswan hem samting wea happen long wanfala organization wea kamap bihaen World War I. Britain and America talem olketa nara kantri for join insaed disfala organization. Goal bilong disfala organization hem for evri kantri mas waka tugeta and garem wan mind.d Nem bilong datfala organization hem League of Nations. Taem World War II hem start, datfala League of Nations hem nomoa nao. Taem datfala war gohed, pipol bilong God sei profesi long Revelation showimaot datfala organization bae kamap moa. Datwan hem happen, and nem bilong datfala organization distaem hem United Nations.—Rev. 17:8.

14. Why nao John sei datfala karving wea luk olsem datfala wild animal hem “mek-eit king”?

¹⁴ John sei datfala karving wea luk olsem wild animal wea garem sevenfala hed hem nao “mek-eit king.” Bat datfala wild animal hem garem sevenfala hed nomoa, no eitfala hed. So why nao John hem sei datfala karving hem wanfala “king”? Disfala karving hem luk olsem datfala wild animal nomoa. Paoa wea disfala karving hem kasem, hem kam from olketa kantri wea member bilong United Nations, especially from England and America World Paoa. (Rev. 17:10, 11) So John kolem disfala karving wanfala “king” bikos hem kasem paoa for duim wanfala samting wea bae affectim full world.

KARVING WEA LUK OLSEM WILD ANIMAL HEM FINISIM JURY WOMAN

15, 16. Wanem nao datfala jury woman hem piksarem, and hao nao pipol ting long religion distaem?

¹⁵ John storyim tu wanfala jury woman wea sidaon antap long wanfala wild animal wea kala bilong hem red. Disfala animal nao hem datfala karving wea luk olsem wild animal wea garem sevenfala hed. Nem bilong jury woman hia hem “Bigfala Babylon.” (Rev. 17:1-6) Disfala jury woman hem piksarem evri false religion, wea main part bilong hem nao olketa religion wea sei olketa Christian. Olketa false religion barava sapotim datfala karving wea luk olsem datfala wild animal, wea hem nao datfala League of Nations and United Nations, and trae for kontrolem olketa.

¹⁶ Bible hem sei Bigfala Babylon hem sidaon antap long staka “wata.” Wata hia piksarem pipol wea sapotim hem. Bat long day bilong Lord, pipol no strong for sapotim hem olsem bifor. Hem olsem olketa wata hia “hem drae nao.” (Rev. 16:12; 17:15) Olsem example, long firstaem wea datfala karving wea luk olsem wild animal hem showaot, olketa religion wea sei olketa Christian olketa garem bigfala paoa long staka kantri. Bat distaem, staka pipol no respectim olketa religion and bigman bilong olketa. Staka pipol sei religion nao kosim olketa problem long world. Olketa narawan sei evri religion mas finis.

17. Wanem nao klosap for happen long false religion, and why nao olsem?

¹⁷ False religion bae no isisi lusim paoa bilong hem gogo hem nomoa nao. Datfala jury woman bae gohed garem bigfala paoa and trae for mekem olketa gavman duim wanem hem laekem. Bat klosap nao God bae “mekem olketa [gavman] garem tingting for duim samting wea hem laekem.” (Readim Revelation 17:16, 17.) Jehovah bae mekem olketa gavman long disfala world bilong Satan, wea United Nations nao stand for olketa, for attakim false religion. Datfala jury woman bae no fit for kontrolem nao olketa gavman hia, and bae hem lusim tu evri riches bilong hem. Twenti or thirti year go finis staka pipol tingse religion bae gohed strong and pipol bae evritaem respectim religion. Bat distaem datwan hem start for change. Nomata olsem, datfala jury woman bae no isisi lusim paoa bilong hem. Seknomoa bae hem finis nao.—Rev. 18:7, 8, 15-19.

OLKETA WILD ANIMAL FINIS NAO

18. (a) Wanem nao bae datfala wild animal duim, and wanem nao bae kamaot from datwan? (b) Long Daniel 2:44 hem sei Kingdom bilong God bae finisim olketa wanem gavman? (Lukim box long page 17.)

¹⁸ Bihaen false religion hem finis, datfala wild animal, wea hem nao olketa gavman long earth wea Satan kontrolem, bae hem attakim Kingdom bilong God. Olketa gavman long earth bae no fit for attakim Kingdom bilong God long heven, so bae olketa faet againstim olketa long earth wea sapotim datfala Kingdom. Diswan minim olketa faetem God nao. (Rev. 16:13-16; 17:12-14) Daniel storyim samfala samting abaotem datfala faet. (Readim Daniel 2:44.) Datfala wild animal wea Revelation 13:1 hem story abaotem, datfala karving wea luk olsem hem, and datfala wild animal wea garem tufala horn, bae evriwan finis.

19. Wanem nao klosap for happen, and wanem nao iumi mas duim distaem?

¹⁹ Iumi stap long taem wea mek-seven hed bilong datfala animal hem rul. Go kasem taem wea God finisim datfala animal, bae hem no garem eni nara hed moa. Datfala mek-seven hed wea hem England and America World Paoa, hem nao bae rul taem false religion hem finis. Evri samting long olketa profesi bilong Daniel and John barava kam tru. Iumi sure klosap nao false religion bae finis and Armageddon bae kam. God talem iumi evri samting wea bae happen. Waswe, bae iumi obeyim olketa warning wea olketa profesi hia talem? (2 Pet. 1:19) Iumi mas obeyim Jehovah distaem and sapotim Kingdom bilong hem.—Rev. 14:6, 7.

HU NAO “EVRI GAVMAN HIA” WEA DANIEL 2:44 STORYIM?

Profesi long Daniel 2:44 hem sei Kingdom bilong God “bae smasem and finisim evri gavman hia.” Datfala profesi hem storyim nomoa olketa gavman wea datfala image hem piksarem.

Daniel 2:44 hem no storyim wanem bae happen long evri nara gavman bilong olketa man. Bat profesi long Revelation hem storyim moa samting abaotem diswan. Hem sei “olketa king evriwea long earth” bae hipap for againstim Jehovah long “datfala war wea bae kamap long bigfala day bilong Olmaeti God.” (Rev. 16:14; 19:19-21) So olketa gavman wea datfala image piksarem and evri nara gavman tu bae finis long Armageddon.

Kwestin From Reader

Wanem taem nao datfala England and America World Paoa hem kamap mek-seven world paoa wea Bible storyim?

▪ Datfala maeti image wea King Nebuchadnezzar lukim hem no piksarem evri world paoa long history bilong olketa man. (Dan. 2:31-45) Hem piksarem nomoa faevfala world paoa wea againstim pipol bilong God start long taem bilong Daniel.

Toktok bilong Daniel abaotem datfala maeti image showimaot datfala England and America World Paoa bae no tekovarem Rome bat bae hem kamaot from Rome. Daniel sei iron hem start long leg bilong image go kasem feet and toe. (Long feet and toe, iron hem mix witim clay.)a Datwan minim datfala England and America World Paoa bae kamaot from leg wea iron, wea piksarem Rome. Hem nao samting wea happen. Long firstaem Rome hem rulim Britain, bat long end bilong mek-18 century Britain hem start for kamap strong. Bihaen, America hem kamap strongfala kantri tu. Nomata olsem, long datfala taem Britain and America no kamap datfala mek-seven world paoa wea Bible story abaotem. Why nao olsem? Diswan hem bikos long datfala taem tufala no barava waka tugeta yet. Bat long World War I nao datwan hem happen.

Long datfala taem, staka long “olketa son bilong Kingdom” preach long America. Headquarter bilong olketa hem long Brooklyn, New York. (Matt. 13:36-43) Olketa anointed Christian preach tu long olketa kantri wea Britain hem rulim. Long World War I, Britain and America join tugeta for faetem olketa enemy bilong tufala. Datfala war mekem pipol long England and America tinghae long kantri bilong olketa. Datwan mekem tufala gavman hia faet againstim tu olketa anointed Christian wea olketa nao pikinini bilong “woman” bilong God. England and America tambuim samfala buk bilong olketa, and putim olketa wea leadim preaching waka long prison.—Rev. 12:17.

So Bible profesi showimaot datfala mek-seven world paoa hem no start for rul long end bilong mek-18 century taem Britain hem kamap strongfala gavman. Bat datfala mek-seven world paoa hem start for rul long start bilong day bilong Lord.b
