Sister White identifies the soon-coming Sunday law as the “sign,” that was typified by the armies of Rome encompassing Jerusalem in the year 66, and in doing so, she identifies a class who have eyes that see not, and ears that hear not.
Uýam Waýt tizden çykjak ýekşenbe kanunyny miladynyň 66-njy ýylynda Iýerusalimi gabap alan Rim goşunlary arkaly öňden nyşanlanan “alamat” diýip kesgitleýär; şeýle etmek bilen, ol görüp hem görmeýän, eşidip hem eşitmeýän bir topary kesgitleýär.
“Eternity stretches before us. The curtain is about to be lifted. We who occupy this solemn, responsible position, what are we doing, what are we thinking about, that we cling to our selfish love of ease, while souls are perishing around us? Have our hearts become utterly callous? Cannot we feel or understand that we have a work to do for the salvation of others? Brethren, are you of the class who having eyes see not, and having ears hear not? Is it in vain that God has given you a knowledge of His will? Is it in vain that He has sent you warning after warning? Do you believe the declarations of eternal truth concerning what is about to come upon the earth, do you believe that God’s judgments are hanging over the people, and can you still sit at ease, indolent, careless, pleasure loving?
Bakyýet biziň öňümizde uzaýar. Perde indi galdyryljak bolýar. Biz, bu dabaraly, jogapkärli orny eýeleýänler, daş-töweregimizde janlar heläk bolup barýarka, öz bähbitçi rahatlygy söýgümize ýapyşyp, näme edýäris, näme hakda pikir edýäris? Biziň ýüreklerimiz düýbünden gatapmy? Başgalaryň gutulyşy üçin etmelidigimiz bir işimiziň bardygyny duýup ýa-da düşünip bilemzokmy? Doganlar, siz gözi bolup görmeýänleriň, gulagy bolup eşitmeýänleriň toparyndansyňyzmy? Hudaýyň Öz islegini bilmekligi size bermegi biderekmi? Onuň size duýduryş üstüne duýduryş ibermegi biderekmi? Ýere geljek zatlar baradaky ebedi hakykatyň beýannamalaryna ynanýarsyňyzmy, Hudaýyň höküm-sudunyň halkyň üstünde sallanyp durandygyna ynanýarsyňyzmy, şonda-da heniz rahatlykda, ýaltalykda, biperwaýlykda, lezzeti söýüp oturyp bilýärsiňizmi?
“It is no time now for God’s people to be fixing their affections or laying up their treasure in the world. The time is not far distant, when, like the early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a refuge in desolate and solitary places. As the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to the Judean Christians, so the assumption of power on the part of our nation in the decree enforcing the papal sabbath will be a warning to us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.” Testimonies, volume 5, 464.
“Indi Hudaýyň halky üçin öz mähirini bu dünýä baglamak ýa-da hazynasyny onda ýygnamak wagty däldir. Irki şägirtler ýaly, biziňem çöllük we ýalňyz ýerlere gaçybatalga gözlemäge mejbur boljak wagtymyz uzakda däldir. Rim goşunlarynyň Iýerusalime gabaw etmegi Ýahudadaky mesihçiler üçin gaçmagyň alamaty bolşy ýaly, biziň ýurdumyzda papalyň sabatyny mejbury edýän permanyň üsti bilen häkimiýetiň öz üstüne alynmagy hem biziň üçin duýduryş bolar. Şonda uly şäherleri terk etmegiň wagty bolar; bu hem daglaryň arasynda gözden uzak ýerlerde ýerleşýän aýrybaşga öýlere gitmek üçin, soňra kiçi şäherleri terk etmäge taýýarlyk bolar.” Testimonies, 5-nji jilt, 464.
The soon coming Sunday law in the United States is the warning signal (sign), “to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.” Laodicean Adventism is largely unaware that the Sunday law crisis in the United States, fulfills the “sign” spoken of in The Great Controversy. It is typified by the “sign” at the beginning of the three and a half years. The “sign” which was fulfilled in the first siege of Jerusalem that was brought in the year 66, and it typifies the “ensign” that is lifted up at the soon-coming Sunday law.
Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda ýakynda güýje girjek ýekşenbe kanuny, “uly şäherlerden çykyp gitmek, kiçi şäherlerden hem çykyp gitmäge taýýarlyk hökmünde daglaryň arasynda çet ýerde ýerleşýän tenhalyk öýlere gitmek” üçin berlen duýduryş nyşanydyr. Laodikýa Adventizmi, Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda ýüze çykjak ýekşenbe kanuny krizisiniň, The Great Controversy-da aýdylan “nyşanyň” amala aşmagydygyny esasan bilmezlikde galýar. Ol üç ýarym ýylyň başyndaky “nyşan” bilen öňden şekillendirilendir. Milady 66-njy ýylda getirilen Iýerusalimiň ilkinji gabawynda amala aşan şol “nyşan”, ýakynda geljek ýekşenbe kanuny wagty ýokary galdyrylýan “baýdaknyşany” öňden alamatlandyrýar.
The actual destruction of Jerusalem was accomplished by Titus in the year 70 AD, and the siege of Titus had been first typified in the 66 AD siege of Cestius, for Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing. It was the beginning siege of Cestius that was the “sign” to flee that Jesus had given, not the siege of Titus. One was the siege at the beginning, the other was the siege at the end.
Iýerusalimiň hakykatda weýran edilmegi biziň eýýamymyzyň 70-nji ýylynda Tit tarapyndan amala aşyryldy, we Titusiň gabawy ilki bilen biziň eýýamymyzyň 66-njy ýylyndaky Sestiýusyň gabawynda nusgalanyp görkezilipdi, çünki Isa hemişe bir zadyň ahyryny şol zadyň başlangyjy arkaly suratlandyrýar. Isanyň gaçmak üçin beren “alamaty” Titusiň gabawy däl-de, Sestiýusyň başlangyç gabawydy. Biri başlangyçdaky gabawdy, beýlekisi bolsa ahyrdaky gabawdy.
“Not one Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem. Christ had given His disciples warning, and all who believed His words watched for the promised sign. ‘When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,’ said Jesus, ‘then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out.’ Luke 21:20, 21. After the Romans under Cestius had surrounded the city, they unexpectedly abandoned the siege when everything seemed favorable for an immediate attack. The besieged, despairing of successful resistance, were on the point of surrender, when the Roman general withdrew his forces without the least apparent reason. But God’s merciful providence was directing events for the good of His own people. The promised sign had been given to the waiting Christians, and now an opportunity was offered for all who would, to obey the Saviour’s warning. Events were so overruled that neither Jews nor Romans should hinder the flight of the Christians. Upon the retreat of Cestius, the Jews, sallying from Jerusalem, pursued after his retiring army; and while both forces were thus fully engaged, the Christians had an opportunity to leave the city. At this time the country also had been cleared of enemies who might have endeavored to intercept them. At the time of the siege, the Jews were assembled at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, and thus the Christians throughout the land were able to make their escape unmolested. Without delay they fled to a place of safety—the city of Pella, in the land of Perea, beyond Jordan.” The Great Controversy, 30.
„Iýerusalimiň weýran edilmeginde bir hem bolsa hristian heläk bolmady. Mesih Öz şägirtlerine öňünden duýduryş beripdi, we Onuň sözlerine iman edenleriň hemmesi wada edilen alamaty garap-saklap durdy. Isa: „Iýerusalimiň goşunlar tarapyndan gurşalýandygyny gören wagtyňyzda, onuň harabaçylygynyň golaýlandygyny biliň. Şonda Ýahudadakylaryň daglara gaçsınlar; onuň içinde bolanlar çyksynlar“ diýipdi. Luka 21:20, 21. Cestiýiň ýolbaşçylygyndaky rimliler şäheri gurşap alanlaryndan soň, derhal hüjüm etmek üçin hemme zat amatly görünýän wagtynda, olar garaşylmadyk ýagdaýda gabawy taşladylar. Gabalananlar üstünlikli garşylyk görkezmekden umydyny üzüp, boýun bolmagyň öň ýanyndakalarynda, rim serkerdesi hiç bir görünýän sebäpsiz öz goşunlaryny yza çekdi. Emma Hudaýyň rehimli ylahy işi wakalary Öz halkynyň peýdasy üçin ugrukdyrýardy. Wada edilen alamat garaşýan hristianlara berlipdi, indi bolsa Isany halasgär hökmünde kabul edip, Onuň duýduryşyna boýun bolmak isleýänleriň hemmesine mümkinçilik döredilipdi. Wakalar şeýle dolandyryldy welin, ne ýehudiler, ne-de rimliler hristianlaryň gaçyp gitmegine päsgel berip bildiler. Cestiý yza çekilen badyna, Iýerusalimden çykyp gelen ýehudiler onuň yza çekilýän goşunynyň yzyndan kowdular; we iki tarap hem şeýle doly meşgul bolýarkalar, hristianlar şäherden çykyp gitmäge mümkinçilik tapdylar. Şol wagtda, olary saklamaga synanyşyp biljek duşmanlardan ýurt hem arassalanypdy. Gabaw döwründe ýehudiler Çatyr baýramyny bellemek üçin Iýerusalimde ýygnananlygy sebäpli, bütin ýurtdaky hristianlar hiç bir azar görmezden gaçyp gutulmagy başardylar. Olar haýal etmän howpsuz ýere — Ýordanyň aňyrsyndaky Pereýa ýurdunyň Pella şäherine gaçdylar.“ Uly Dawalylyk, 30.
The siege of Jerusalem by Cestius in the year 66 fulfilled the warning “sign” which Christ had recorded for the Christians of that history, but the siege of Titus in 70 AD provided no “sign” to flee. In that siege there were no Christians left in the city, and that last siege led to the destruction of Jerusalem, and in the destruction of Jerusalem “not one Christian perished,” for the Christians had fled at the beginning of the history.
Kestiýiň b.e. 66-njy ýylynda Iýerusalime eden gabawy, Mesihiň şol taryhyň mesihileri üçin ýazdyryp goýan duýduryş “alamatynyň” amala aşmagy boldy; emma b.e. 70-nji ýylda Titusyň gabawy gaçyp gutulmak üçin hiç bir “alamat” bermedi. Şol gabawda şäherde indi hiç bir mesihi galmandy, we şol soňky gabaw Iýerusalyemiň weýran edilmegine getirdi; Iýerusalyemiň weýrançylygynda bolsa “birje-de mesihi heläk bolmady”, çünki mesihiler şol taryhyň başynda gaçyp gutulypdylar.
“The Jewish forces, pursuing after Cestius and his army, fell upon their rear with such fierceness as to threaten them with total destruction. It was with great difficulty that the Romans succeeded in making their retreat. The Jews escaped almost without loss, and with their spoils returned in triumph to Jerusalem. Yet this apparent success brought them only evil. It inspired them with that spirit of stubborn resistance to the Romans which speedily brought unutterable woe upon the doomed city.
Ýewreý goşunlary, Sestiniň we onuň goşunynyň yzyndan kowup barýarkalar, olaryň yzky hataryna şeýle bir gazaplylyk bilen çozdular welin, olary bütinleý ýok bolmak howpy astynda goýdular. Rimliler öz yza çekilişlerini örän uly kynçylyk bilen amala aşyryp bildiler. Ýewreýler bolsa diýen ýaly ýitgisiz gutulyp, oljalary bilen ýeňiş dabarasynda Iýerusalime dolanyp geldiler. Şeýle-de bolsa, bu daşky üstünlük olara diňe betbagtlyk getirdi. Ol olarda rimlilere garşy şol bir tutanýerli garşylyk ruhuny oýardy; hut şol ruh hem tiz wagtda höküm edilen şäheriň başyna aýdyp bolmaz hasratlary getirdi.
“Terrible were the calamities that fell upon Jerusalem when the siege was resumed by Titus. The city was invested at the time of the Passover, when millions of Jews were assembled within its walls.” The Great Controversy, 31.
Tit tarapyndan gabaw täzeden başlananda, Iýerusalime inen heläkçilikler aýylgançdy. Şäher Pesah baýramynyň wagty gabalandy, şonda onuň diwarlarynyň içinde millionlarça ýehudy ýygnanypdy. Beýik Jedel, 31.
From the feast of Tabernacles in the year 66 unto the Passover in the year 70 is three and a half years, which prophetically is twelve hundred and sixty days. From the year 66 to the year 70 pagan Rome trampled down the sanctuary and host, just as papal Rome tread down the holy city for forty-two months from the year 538 unto 1798.
66-njy ýylda Çadyrlar baýramyndan 70-nji ýylda Pasha baýramyna çenli üç ýarym ýyl bolýar; bu bolsa pygamberlik taýdan müň iki ýüz altmyş gündür. 66-njy ýyldan 70-nji ýyla çenli butparaz Rim mukaddes ýeri we goşuny aýak astyna aldy; edil şonuň ýaly-da, papalyk Rimi 538-nji ýyldan 1798-nji ýyla çenli kyrk iki aýlap mukaddes şäheri depeläp geçdi.
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Revelation 11:2.
Ýöne ybadathananyň daşyndaky howlyny hasaba alma, ony ölçeme; çünki ol başga milletlere berlendir. Olar mukaddes şäheri kyrk iki aýlap aýak astyna salarlar. Ylham 11:2.
Both pagan Rome and papal Rome trampled down Jerusalem for twelve hundred and sixty days (years), thus identifying that modern Rome would trample down spiritual Jerusalem of the last days for a symbolic period of twelve hundred and sixty days. That symbolic period would commence at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, when the deadly wound is healed.
Hem butparaz Rim, hem-de papalyk Rim Iýerusalimi müň iki ýüz altmyş gün (ýyl) basyp ezdi; şeýlelik bilen häzirki zamanyň Riminiň soňky günleriň ruhy Iýerusalimini simwoliki müň iki ýüz altmyş günüň dowamynda basyp-ezejegini görkezdi. Ol simwoliki döwür ölümli ýara sagalan wagtynda, Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda tizden güýje girjek ýekşenbe kanunyndan başlar.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Revelation 13:3–5.
Men onuň başlarynyň biriniň ölüm ýarasyny alan ýaly bolandygyny gördüm; emma onuň ölüm ýarasy sagaldy. Bütin dünýä haýwana haýran galyp, onuň yzyna düşdi. Olar haýwana güýji beren aždarhany ybadat etdiler; şeýle hem haýwana ybadat edip: «Haýwana meňzeş kim bar? Oňa garşy söweş etmäge kim ukyply?» diýdiler. Oňa uly sözleri we küfürleri aýdýan agyz berildi; hem-de oňa kyrk iki aý dowam etmäge häkimiýet berildi. Ylham 13:3–5.
The symbolic forty-two months of papal persecution is the “hour,” of the Sunday law crisis. That “hour” begins with a “sign” (the ensign), and ends with “signs.” The “sign” of the ensign at the Sunday law, will cause any Christians still in Babylon to flee to the glorious holy mountain that has been exalted (lifted up) above the other hills.
Papanyň yzarlamagynyň nyşanly kyrk iki aýy ýekşenbe kanuny krizisiniň “sagady”dyr. Şol “sagat” bir “alamat” bilen (baýdak bilen) başlanýar hem-de “alamatlar” bilen tamamlanýar. Ýekşenbe kanunyndaky baýdagyň “alamaty” henizem Babilde galýan islendik mesihçileri beýleki depelerden beýgeldilen (ýokary göterilen) şöhratly mukaddes daga gaçmaga mejbur eder.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:2, 3.
Soňky günlerde şeýle bolar: Rebbiň öýüniň dagy daglaryň depesinde berk gurlar we baýyrlardan ýokary galdyrylar; ähli milletler oňa tarap akarlar. Köp halklar gidip şeýle diýerler: «Geliň, Rebbiň dagyna, Ýakubyň Hudasynyň öýüne çykalyň; Ol bize Öz ýollaryny öwreder, biz hem Onuň ýodalarynda gezeris». Çünki kanun Siondan çykar, Rebbiň sözi bolsa Iýerusalimden. Işaýa 2:2, 3.
The flight from the cities at the decree enforcing Sunday worship was typified by both the flight of the Christians in the year 66, and the flight of the church in the year 538 that fled into the wilderness.
Ýekşenbe gününe ybadaty mejbury edýän perman çykarylanda şäherlerden gaçmak, hem miladynyň 66-njy ýylyndaky mesihçileriň gaçyşy, hem-de miladynyň 538-nji ýylynda çöl-beýewana gaçan ybadathananyň gaçyşy bilen öňünden nyşan edilipdi.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. Revelation 12:6.
Soňra aýal çöle gaçdy; ol ýerde onuň üçin Hudaý tarapyndan taýýarlanan bir ýer bardy; ol ýerde ony müň iki ýüz altmyş gün bakmalydylar. Ylham 12:6.
The destruction of Jerusalem from the first siege to the last siege lasted three and a half years, but a warning message of the coming destruction was given for seven years, three and a half years before the first siege and three and a half years after.
Iýerusalimiň ýok edilmegi ilkinji gabawdan soňky gabawa çenli üç ýarym ýyl dowam etdi, emma ýetip gelýän ýok ediliş baradaky duýduryş habary ýedi ýyllap berildi: ilkinji gabawdan öň üç ýarym ýyl we ondan soň üç ýarym ýyl.
“All the predictions given by Christ concerning the destruction of Jerusalem were fulfilled to the letter. The Jews experienced the truth of His words of warning: ‘With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.’ Matthew 7:2.
Mesihiň Iýerusalimiň weýran bolşy barada aýdan ähli öňünden aýdanlary hatma-hat ýerine ýetdi. Ýahudylar Onuň duýduryş sözleriniň hakykatyny başdan geçirdiler: «Nähili ölçeg bilen ölçeseňiz, size-de şonuň bilen ölçeljekdir». Matta 7:2.
“Signs and wonders appeared, foreboding disaster and doom. In the midst of the night an unnatural light shone over the temple and the altar. Upon the clouds at sunset were pictured chariots and men of war gathering for battle. The priests ministering by night in the sanctuary were terrified by mysterious sounds; the earth trembled, and a multitude of voices were heard crying: ‘Let us depart hence.’ The great eastern gate, which was so heavy that it could hardly be shut by a score of men, and which was secured by immense bars of iron fastened deep in the pavement of solid stone, opened at midnight, without visible agency.—Milman, The History of the Jews, book 13.
“Alamatlar we gudratlar peýda boldy, betbagtçylygy we heläkçiligi öňünden duýdurýardy. Gijäniň goýnunda ybadathananyň we gurbanlyk sypasynyň üstünde adaty däl bir nur saçdy. Gün ýaşanda bulutlaryň üstünde söweşe ýygnanýan arabalaryň we söweşijileriň şekilleri görünýärdi. Mukaddes ýerde gije hyzmat edýän ruhanylar syrly seslerden howsala düşdüler; ýer titredi, we köp sesleriň: «Geliň, bu ýerden gideliň» diýip gygyrýandygy eşidildi. Gündogar tarapdaky uly derweze, şeýle bir agyrdy welin, ony ýigrimi çemesi adamyň zordan ýapyp bilýän, hem-de berk daşa düşelen ýerde çuň oturdylan äpet demir gulpdyr tirsekler bilen berkidilen şol derweze, görünýän hiç bir täsir bolmazdan, ýarygijede açyldy.—Milman, The History of the Jews, 13-nji kitap.”
“For seven years a man continued to go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, declaring the woes that were to come upon the city. By day and by night he chanted the wild dirge: ‘A voice from the east! a voice from the west! a voice from the four winds! a voice against Jerusalem and against the temple! a voice against the bridegrooms and the brides! a voice against the whole people!’—Ibid. This strange being was imprisoned and scourged, but no complaint escaped his lips. To insult and abuse he answered only: ‘Woe, woe to Jerusalem!’ ‘woe, woe to the inhabitants thereof!’ His warning cry ceased not until he was slain in the siege he had foretold.” The Great Controversy, 29, 30.
“Ýedi ýylyň dowamynda bir adam Iýerusalimiň köçelerinde ýokary-aşak gezip, şähere geljek betbagtçylyklary yglan etmegini dowam etdirdi. Gije-gündiz ol şu wagşy matam aýdymyny gaýtalap durdy: ‘Gündogardan bir ses! günbatardan bir ses! dört ýelden bir ses! Iýerusalime garşy bir ses we ybadathana garşy bir ses! öýlenýän ýigitlere we gelinlere garşy bir ses! bütin halka garşy bir ses!’ — Şol ýerde. Bu täsin jandar türmä basyldy we gamçylanyp jezalandyryldy, emma onuň dodaklaryndan hiç bir arz-şikaýat çykmady. Kemsitmä we süteme jogap hökmünde ol diňe şuny aýtdy: ‘Iýerusalime waý, waý!’ ‘onda ýaşaýanlara waý, waý!’ Onuň duýduryş nidasynyň sesi, özi öňünden aýdyp beren gabawda öldürilýänçä, kesilmedi.” Uly göreş, 29, 30.
The final destruction of literal Jerusalem in the year 70 was preceded by “signs and wonders” which identified “disaster and doom.” The warning “signs” were manifested for three and a half years before the first siege and for the three and a half years that led to the destruction. The “signs” (in the plural) that identified the coming destruction was not the “sign” of warning to flee, but a pronouncement of the imminent close of probation.
Miladynyň 70-nji ýylynda hakyky Iýerusalimiň soňky weýran edilmeginiň öňüsyrasynda “nyşanlar we täsinlikler” bolup geçdi; olar “betbagtçylygy we heläketi” görkezýärdi. Duýduryjy “nyşanlar” ilkinji gabawdan öň üç ýarym ýyl dowamynda, şeýle hem weýrançylyga alyp baran üç ýarym ýylyň dowamynda ýüze çykdy. Geljekdäki weýrançylygy görkezýän “nyşanlar” (köplükde) gaçmak barada duýduryş berýän “nyşan” däl-de, synag möhletiniň golaýda tamamlanjakdygynyň yglanydy.
In the trampling down of spiritual Jerusalem from 538 to 1798, the “sign” of warning to flee, was when the abomination of desolation was when “that man of sin” was “revealed,” as “the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
538-nji ýyldan 1798-nji ýyla çenli ruhy Iýerusalimiň aýak astyna salynmagynda gaçyp gutulmak barada berlen “alamat”, weýran ediji ýigrenji zadyň ýüze çykmagy, ýagny “günäniň adamy”nyň, “heläkçiligiň ogly” hökmünde “aýan edilmegi” boldy; ol “Hudaý diýlip atlandyrylýan ýa-da sežde edilýän ähli zatlara garşy çykýar hem-de özüni olaryň hemmesinden beýgeldýär; şeýlelikde, ol Hudaý hökmünde Hudaýyň ybadathanasynda oturyp, özüniň Hudaýdygyny görkezýär.”
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.) Matthew 24:15.
Şonuň üçin siz pygamber Danyýel tarapyndan aýdylyp, weýrançylygyň ýigrenji zady mukaddes ýerde duranını görmegiňizde, (okaýan oňa düşünsün), Matta 24:15.
When the Christians of that history recognized that “sign” they fled into the wilderness for twelve hundred and sixty years.
Şol taryhyň mesihçileri şol “alamaty” tananlarynda, müň iki ýüz altmyş ýyllyk çöl-beýewana gaçdylar.
“It required a desperate struggle for those who would be faithful to stand firm against the deceptions and abominations which were disguised in sacerdotal garments and introduced into the church. The Bible was not accepted as the standard of faith. The doctrine of religious freedom was termed heresy, and its upholders were hated and proscribed.
Ynançly bolmak isleýänler üçin ruhany lybaslaryna bürenip, ybadathana girizilen aldawlara we ýigrenji bidüzgünçiliklere garşy berk durmak umytsyz göreşi talap etdi. Mukaddes Kitap iman ölçegi hökmünde kabul edilmedi. Dini azatlyk taglymaty bidgat diýlip atlandyryldy, ony goldaýanlar bolsa ýigrenildi we yzarlanyp gadagan edildi.
“After a long and severe conflict, the faithful few decided to dissolve all union with the apostate church if she still refused to free herself from falsehood and idolatry. They saw that separation was an absolute necessity if they would obey the word of God. They dared not tolerate errors fatal to their own souls, and set an example which would imperil the faith of their children and children’s children. To secure peace and unity they were ready to make any concession consistent with fidelity to God; but they felt that even peace would be too dearly purchased at the sacrifice of principle. If unity could be secured only by the compromise of truth and righteousness, then let there be difference, and even war.” The Great Controversy, 45.
“Uzak we agyr çaknyşykdan soň, wepaly az sanly topar, eger-de dönük ybadathana henizem özüni ýalandan we butparazlykdan azat etmekden ýüz öwürse, onuň bilen ähli birleşigi bozmagy karar etdi. Olar Hudaýyň Sözüne boýun boljak bolsalar, aýralygyň mutlak zerurdygyny gördüler. Olar öz janlary üçin heläk ediji ýalňyşlyklara çydap bilmezdiler, hem-de çagalarynyň we olaryň çagalarynyň imanyny howp astyna saljak görelde goýup bilmezdiler. Parahatçylygy we agzybirligi üpjün etmek üçin, Hudaýa wepadarlyk bilen gabat gelýän islendik eglişige taýyndylar; ýöne olar parahatçylygyň özem ýörelgäni pida etmegiň hasabyna örän gymmat satyn alynjakdygyny duýdular. Eger birlik diňe hakykatyň we dogrulygyň ylalaşyk arkaly gowşadylmagy bilen gazanylyp bilinýän bolsa, onda tapawut hem bolsun, hatda uruş hem.” Beýik Dawalyş, 45.
Approaching the conclusion of the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal persecution there were “signs” (in the plural), and as with the “signs” at the end of the twelve hundred and sixty days that pagan Rome trampled down literal Jerusalem; those “signs” were not signs to flee.
Papal yzarlamasynyň müň iki ýüz altmyş ýylynyň soňuna golaýlaşylanda “alamatlar” (köplük sanda) bardy; edil butparaz Rimiň hakyky Iýerusalimi müň iki ýüz altmyş günläp depelän döwrüniň ahyryndaky “alamatlar” ýaly, şol “alamatlar” gaçmak üçin alamatlar däldi.
“The Saviour gives signs of His coming, and more than this, He fixes the time when the first of these signs shall appear: ‘Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.’
Halasgär Özüniň gelişiň alamatlaryny berýär, munuň bilen çäklenmän, şol alamatlaryň ilkinjisiniň haçan peýda boljakdygyny hem kesgitleýär: «Şol günleriň muşakgatyndan dessine soň gün garalar, aý öz nuruny bermez, ýyldyzlar gökden gaçar, asmanlaryň güýji sarsar; şondan soň bolsa asmanda Adam Oglunyň alamaty peýda bolar; şonda ýer ýüzüniň ähli tireleri aglarlar we Adam Oglunyň güýç hem beýik şöhrat bilen asman bulutlarynda gelýändigini görerler. Ol perişdelerini surnaýyň uly owazy bilen iberer, olar Onuň saýlananlaryny dünýäniň dört tarapyndan, asmanyň bir ujundan beýleki ujuna çenli ýygnarlar.»
“At the close of the great papal persecution, Christ declared, the sun should be darkened, and the moon should not give her light. Next, the stars should fall from heaven. And He says, ‘Learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that He is near, even at the doors.’ Matthew 24:32, 33, margin.
Papalaryň beýik yzarlanmasynyň ahyrynda, Mesih şeýle diýdi: gün garalmaly, aý bolsa öz ýagtysyny bermeli däl. Ondan soň ýyldyzlar asmandan gaçmaly. Ol şeýle diýýär: “Injir agajyndan bir tymsal öwreniň; onuň şahasy entek näzik bolup, ýaprak çykaryp başlanda, tomsuň golaýdygyny bilýärsiňiz. Şonuň ýaly-da, siz hem bularyň hemmesini göreniňizde, Onuň golaýdygyny, gapylaryň agzyndadygyny biliň.” Matta 24:32, 33, margin.
“Christ has given signs of His coming. He declares that we may know when He is near, even at the doors. He says of those who see these signs, ‘This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.’ These signs have appeared. Now we know of a surety that the Lord’s coming is at hand. ‘Heaven and earth shall pass away,’ He says, ‘but My words shall not pass away.’” The Desire of Ages, 631, 632.
“Mesih Öz gelişiniň alamatlaryny berdi. Ol Özüniň golaýdygyny, hatda gapylaryň öňünde durandygyny bilip biljekdigimizi yglan edýär. Bu alamatlary görýänler barada Ol şeýle diýýär: ‘Bu nesil bu zatlaryň hemmesi amala aşýança geçip gitmez.’ Bu alamatlar ýüze çykdy. Indi biz Rebbimiziň gelişiniň golaýdygyny şübhesiz bilýäris. ‘Asman bilen ýer geçip gider,’ diýip Ol aýdýar, ‘emma Meniň sözlerim asla geçip gitmez.’” The Desire of Ages, 631, 632.
When “the three and half years of Jerusalem being trampled down” by papal Rome was ending there was a series of “signs,” which identified the coming of Christ and ushered in the Millerite history. Millerite history is to be repeated to the very letter in the last days. Those “signs,” which appeared at “the close of the great papal persecution,” had been typified by “signs” that appeared as the closing of the three and a half years of the trampling down of Jerusalem from the year 66 to 70 by pagan Rome. Therefore, based upon two witnesses there will be a “sign” of the ensign which is lifted up at the hour of the great earthquake which is the sign of warning to flee in the history of modern Rome, and there will also be “signs” in the plural which occur at the closing of modern Rome’s period of persecution in the last days.
Papaly Rimiň Iýerusalimi “üç ýarym ýyllap basgylap depelän” döwrüniň soňuna golaýlanda, Mesihiň gelişini tanadan we Millerçi taryhyny başladan birnäçe “alamat” ýüze çykdy. Millerçi taryhy soňky günlerde hut harpy-harpyna çenli gaýtalanmalydyr. “Beýik papalyk yzarlamanyň soňunda” peýda bolan şol “alamatlar”, butparaz Rimiň miladynyň 66-njy ýylyndan 70-nji ýylyna çenli Iýerusalimi üç ýarym ýyllap basgylap depelän döwrüniň tamamlanşynda peýda bolan “alamatlar” arkaly öňden nusgalandyrylypdy. Şonuň üçin, iki şaýadyň esasynda, häzirki zaman Riminiň taryhynda gaçyp gutulmak duýduryşynyň alamaty bolan beýik ýer titremesiniň sagadynda galdyrylýan tugyň bir “alamaty” bolar; şeýle hem, soňky günlerde häzirki zaman Rimiň yzarlama döwrüniň tamamlanşynda ýüze çykýan köpçülik görnüşindäki “alamatlar” hem bolar.

“Read the 21st chapter of Luke. In it Christ gives the warning, ‘Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things, and to stand before the Son of man’ (Luke 21:34–36).
Lukanyň 21-nji babyňy okaň. Onda Mesih şeýle duýduryş berýär: “Özüňize seresap boluň, ýürekleriňiz iýip-içmegiň aşa düşgünliginden, serhoşlukdan we bu ýaşaýşyň aladalaryndan agyrlaşyp, şol gün duýdansyz üstüňize gelmesin. Çünki ol tutuş ýer ýüzünde ýaşaýanlaryň hemmesiniň üstüne duzak ýaly geler. Şonuň üçin hemişe oýag boluň we doga ediň, şeýlelikde bu boljak zatlaryň hemmesinden gaçyp gutulmaga hem-de Ynsan Oglunyň huzurynda durmaga laýyk görülersiňiz” (Luka 21:34–36).
“The signs of the times are fulfilling in our world, yet the churches generally are represented as slumbering. Shall we not take warning from the experience of the foolish virgins, who when the call came, ‘Behold the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ found that they had no oil in their lamps? And while they went to buy oil, the bridegroom went in to the marriage supper with the wise virgins, and the door was shut. When the foolish virgins reached the banqueting hall, they received an unexpected denial. The master of the feast declared, ‘I know you not.’ They were left standing without in the empty street, in the blackness of the night.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 229.
“Zaman alamatlary dünýämyzde amala aşýar, emma ybadathanalaryň köpüsi, umuman alanyňda, ukuda hökmünde görkezilýär. «Ine, giýew gelýär; ony garşylamaga çykyň» diýen ses eşidilende, çyralarynda ýagynyň ýokdugyny bilen akmak gyzlaryň başyndan geçen wakadan biz duýduryş almalydyrys dälmi? Olar ýag satyn almaga giden wagtlarynda bolsa, giýew paýhasly gyzlar bilen toý naharyna girdi, we gapy ýapyldy. Akmak gyzlar toý zalyna ýetip gelenlerinde, garaşylmadyk ret jogabyny aldylar. Toý eýesi: «Men sizi tanamaýaryn» diýip yglan etdi. Olar gijäniň garaňky tümlüginde, boş köçede, daşarda dik durmaga galdyryldylar.” Manuscript Releases, 15-nji tom, 229.
