Izilo zesiprofetho sikaDaniyeli zimelela amakhosi, noma imibuso yezombusazwe, ebusa ngokulandelana emhlabeni. (Daniyeli 7:17, 23) Ngakho, isilo sasendle sesAmbulo isahluko 13 simelela inhlangano yezombusazwe eyakhiwa imibuso.

‘Izimpondo eziyishumi namakhanda ayisikhombisa’

Izinombolo ezithile eBhayibhelini zimelela okuthile. Ngokwesibonelo, ishumi nesikhombisa kumelela ukuphelela.
