6. Rɛvɛleshɔn 13:1-4 tɔk bɔt wan wayl animal we gɛt sɛvin ed, wetin i tinap fɔ?
6 Wetin di wayl animal we gɛt sɛvin ed tinap fɔ? (Rid Rɛvɛleshɔn 13:1-4.) Wi notis se dis wayl animal fiba liopad, bɔt in fut dɛn tan lɛk bia in fut ɛn in mɔt tan lɛk layɔn mɔt, dɔn bak i gɛt tɛn ɔn. Ɔl dɛn tin dɛn ya we dis wayl animal gɛt fiba di tin dɛn we di 4 wayl animal dɛn we Daniɛl chapta 7 tɔk bɔt gɛt. Bɔt insay Rɛvɛleshɔn, na wangren wayl animal gɛt dɛn tin dɛn ya, nɔto 4 difrɛn wayl animal dɛn. Dis wayl animal nɔ jɔs tinap fɔ wangren gɔvmɛnt ɔ wɔl pawa. Jɔn se dis wayl animal bin de rul “oba ɔl di trayb dɛn, pipul dɛn, pipul dɛn we de tɔk difrɛn difrɛn langwej dɛn, ɛn neshɔn dɛn.” So i fɔ gɛt pawa pas ɔl di ɔda gɔvmɛnt dɛn. (Rɛv. 13:7) Dat min se dis wayl animal go mɔs tinap fɔ ɔl di gɔvmɛnt dɛn we dɔn de rul mɔtalman te naw.b—Ɛkli. 8:9.
7. Wetin ɛni wan pan di sɛvin ed dɛn we de pan di wayl animal tinap fɔ?
7 Wetin ɛni wan pan di sɛvin ed dɛn tinap fɔ? Rɛvɛleshɔn chapta 17 ɛp wi fɔ no di ansa bikɔs i tɛl wi bɔt di wayl animal in imej we Rɛvɛleshɔn chapta 13 tɔk bɔt. Rɛvɛleshɔn 17:10 tɛl wi se: “Na sɛvin kiŋ dɛn de: Fayv dɔn fɔdɔm, wan stil de, ɛn di ɔda wan nɔ kam yet; bɔt we i kam, i go de fɔ shɔt tɛm.” Pan ɔl di gɔvmɛnt dɛn we Setan dɔn yuz, sɛvin pan dɛn tan lɛk “ed” bikɔs dɛn gɛt bɔku pawa. Na dɛn wɔl pawa dɛn ya dɔn rul oba Gɔd in pipul dɛn ɔ du tin dɛn we rili afɛkt dɛn. We apɔsul Jɔn bin de alayv, fayv pan dɛn bin dɔn ɔlrɛdi rul, dat na Ijipt, Asiria, Babilɔn, Mɛdo-Pashia, ɛn Gris. Di nɔmba siks wɔl pawa we na Rom, bin stil de rul di tɛm we Jɔn bin si di vishɔn. Us gɔvmɛnt go bi di nɔmba sɛvin ɛn las wɔl pawa, ɔ ed?
8. Udat di nɔmba sɛvin ed pan di wayl animal tinap fɔ?
8 Wi de kam lan naw se di prɔfɛsi dɛn na di Baybul buk we nem Daniɛl de ɛp wi fɔ no udat na di sɛvin ɛn las ed we de pan di wayl animal. Us wɔl pawa dɔn de rul insay dis tɛm we di wɔl want fɔ dɔn, ɔ “di Masta in de”? (Rɛv. 1:10) Na tu pawaful gɔvmɛnt dɛn we de wok togɛda, dat na Ingland ɛn Amɛrika, we wi kin kɔl di Anglo-Amɛrikan Wɔl Pawa. So wi go se na in na di nɔmba sɛvin ed pan di wayl animal we Rɛvɛleshɔn 13:1-4 tɔk bɔt.
9. Wetin di wayl animal wit “tu ɔn lɛk yɔŋ ship” tinap fɔ?
9 Insay Rɛvɛleshɔn chapta 13, wi lan se dis nɔmba sɛvin ed, we na di Anglo-Amɛrikan Wɔl Pawa, de mek bak lɛk wan wayl animal we gɛt “tu ɔn lɛk yɔŋ ship, bɔt [we] bigin fɔ tɔk lɛk dragɔn.” Dis wayl animal de “pafɔm pawaful sayn dɛn, i ivin mek faya kɔmɔt na ɛvin ɛn kam dɔŋ na di wɔl bifo mɔtalman.” (Rɛv. 13:11-15) Rɛvɛleshɔn chapta 16 ɛn 19 kɔl dis wayl animal “di lay lay prɔfɛt.” (Rɛv. 16:13; 19:20) Daniɛl tɔk sɔntin we fiba dis, dat na, di Anglo-Amɛrikan Wɔl Pawa go “de pwɛl ɛn kil.” (Dan. 8:19, 23, 24) Ɛn na dat bin apin insay Wɔl Wɔ II. Na British ɛn Amɛrikan sayɛnsman dɛn bin mek di tu bɔm dɛn we dɛn bin leta yuz fɔ mek di wɔ dɔn. So we dɛn mek dɛn bɔm dɛn ya, i mek i tan lɛk se di Anglo-Amɛrikan Wɔl Pawa bin mek “faya kɔmɔt na ɛvin ɛn kam dɔŋ na di wɔl.”
10. Wetin “di wayl animal in imej” tinap fɔ? (Rɛvɛleshɔn 13:14, 15; 17:3, 8, 11)
10 Dɔn wi si wan ɔda wayl animal. Dis wan fiba di wayl animal we gɛt sɛvin ed, bɔt i difrɛn smɔl bikɔs i gɛt brayt rɛd kɔlɔ. Dɛn kɔl am “di wayl animal in imej” ɛn “di kiŋ we mek et.”c (Rid Rɛvɛleshɔn 13:14, 15; 17:3, 8, 11.) Jɔn lan se dis “kiŋ” bin kam, i go, dɔn leta i kam bak. Ɛn na dis bin apin to di ɔganayzeshɔn we dɛn kɔl di United Nations, we de sɔpɔt di gɔvmɛnt dɛn na di wɔl. I bin de fɔs as di League of Nations. Dɔn insay Wɔl Wɔ II i nɔ bin de igen. I leta kam bak as di United Nations.
11. Wetin di wayl animal dɛn de du? Wetin mek wi nɔ nid fɔ fred?
11 Di wayl animal dɛn ɔ di gɔvmɛnt dɛn de yuz lay lay tɔk dɛn fɔ mek pipul dɛn tɔn agens Jiova ɛn in pipul dɛn. Jɔn se i tan lɛk se dɛn de gɛda “di kiŋ dɛn na di wan ol wɔl” togɛda fɔ di wɔ we dɛn kɔl Amagɛdɔn, we na “Gɔd di Ɔlmayti in big de.” (Rɛv. 16:13, 14, 16) Bɔt wi nɔ nid fɔ fred. Wi gret Gɔd Jiova go du sɔntin kwik kwik wan fɔ sev ɔl di wan dɛn we de sɔpɔt di rul we i de rul.—Izi. 38:21-23.
12. Wetin go apin to ɔl di wayl animal dɛn?
12 Wetin go apin to ɔl di wayl animal dɛn? Rɛvɛleshɔn 19:20 ansa se: “Dɛn kech di wayl animal ɛn di lay lay prɔfɛt we bin de pafɔm di sayn dɛn bifo am we i yuz fɔ ful di wan dɛn we tek di wayl animal in mak ɛn di wan dɛn we wɔship in imej. We dɛn stil de alayv, dɛn ib dɛn ɔl tu insay di lek we gɛt faya we de bɔn wit sɔlfɔ.” So insay di tɛm we Gɔd dɛn in ɛnimi dɛn ya go stil de rul, na da tɛm de i go dɔnawe wit dɛn kpatakpata.
13. Us prɔblɛm sɔm gɔvmɛnt dɛn de kɔz fɔ Kristian dɛn?
13 Wetin dis min fɔ wi? As Kristian dɛn, wi fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ de biɛn Gɔd ɛn in Kiŋdɔm. (Jɔn 18:36) Fɔ lɛ wi du dat, wi nid fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ tinap tranga wan ɛn nɔ put an pan pɔlitiks na dis wɔl. Bɔt i nɔ kin izi fɔ lɛ wi kɔntinyu fɔ tinap tranga wan ɛn nɔ put an pan pɔlitiks, bikɔs di gɔvmɛnt dɛn na dis wɔl want wi fɔ sɔpɔt dɛn bay wetin wi de se ɛn du. Di wan dɛn we kin gri fɔ sɔpɔt di gɔvmɛnt dɛn kin gɛt di wayl animal in mak. (Rɛv. 13:16, 17) Bɔt ɛnibɔdi we gɛt da mak de go mek Jiova vɛks, ɛn i nɔ go gɛt layf we go de sote go. (Rɛv. 14:9, 10; 20:4) So i rili impɔtant fɔ lɛ ɛniwan pan wi kɔntinyu fɔ tinap tranga wan ɛn nɔ gɛt natin fɔ du wit pɔlitiks, ilɛk aw di gɔvmɛnt dɛn de mɔna wi fɔ sɔpɔt dɛn.
