In the previous two articles addressing the private interpretation that claims that the United States has been typified by the “robbers of thy people” who “establish the vision” in Daniel chapter eleven verse fourteen, we cited a passage from the pen of Ellen White which stated, “The members of the church will individually be tested and proved.” That proving, testing, and sifting process which is represented as the Messenger of the Covenant in Malachi chapter three, cleansing the silver and gold is now under way. In Malachi chapter three, it identifies a purging.
Öz halkyňyň “garakçylary” tarapyndan, ýagny Daniel kitabyň on birinji bap, on dördünji aýatda “görnişi berkarar edýänler” hökmünde Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň nusgalanandygyny öňe sürýän hususy düşündirişe degişli öňki iki makalada biz Ellen Waýtyň galamyndan çykan şeýle bir bölegi getirdik: “Ybadathananyň agzalary aýratynlykda synag ediler we subut ediler.” Malaky kitabyň üçünji babynda Kertnamanyň Habarçysy hökmünde kümüşi we altyny arassalaýan görnüşde beýan edilýän şol subut ediş, synag ediş we eleýiş prosesi häzir amala aşyrylýar. Malaky kitabyň üçünji baby onda tämizleýişiň görkezilýändigini aýdyňlaşdyrýar.
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Malachi 3:3, 4.
Ol kümşi erediji we arassalaýjy hökmünde otursyn; ol Lewiniň ogullaryny arassalar we olary altyn bilen kümüş ýaly päklär, şonda olar Rebbe dogrulykda sadaka hödürlärler. Şonda Ýahuda bilen Iýerusalimiň sadakasy Rebbe gadymy günlerdäki ýaly, öňki ýyllardaky ýaly ýakymly bolar. Malakiýa 3:3, 4.
Those who hold to the idea that the United States is the symbol which establishes the vision have been unable or unwilling to understand that the message that was unsealed in July of 2023 is what purges the candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. In the synagogue at Capernaum the final purging of the one hundred and forty-four thousand was typified.
Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň bu pygamberlik görnüşini berkarar edýän nyşandygyny diýen pikiri tutýanlar, 2023-nji ýylyň iýul aýynda möhürden açylan habaryň ýüz kyrk dört müňüň arasynda bolmaga dalaşgär bolanlary arassalaýan zatdygyna düşünip bilmediler ýa-da düşünmek islemediler. Kapernaumdaky sinagogada ýüz kyrk dört müňüň ahyrky arassalanyşy nyşanlanyp görkezildi.
“Jesus told them plainly, ‘There are some of you that believe not;’ adding, ‘Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.’ He wished them to understand that if they were not drawn to Him it was because their hearts were not open to the Holy Spirit. ‘The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.’ 1 Corinthians 2:14. It is by faith that the soul beholds the glory of Jesus. This glory is hidden, until, through the Holy Spirit, faith is kindled in the soul.
Isa olara açyk-aýdyň şeýle diýdi: «Araňyzda ynanmaýanlar bar»; we goşup aýtdy: «Şonuň üçin size aýtdym: Atam tarapyndan oňa berilmedik bolsa, hiç kim Maňa gelip bilmez». Ol olaryň şuna düşünmegini isledi: eger olar Özüne çekilmeýän bolsalar, munuň sebäbi olaryň ýürekleriniň Mukaddes Ruha açyk däldigindendi. «Tebigy adam Hudaýyň Ruhunyň zatlaryny kabul etmeýär; çünki olar onuň üçin akmaklykdyr; olary bilmäge-de ukyply däldir, sebäbi olar ruhy taýdan idrak edilýär». 1 Korintoslylar 2:14. Jan Isanyň şöhratyny iman arkaly görýär. Bu şöhrat, Mukaddes Ruh arkaly jana imanyň otlanmagyna çenli gizlin saklanýar.
“By the public rebuke of their unbelief these disciples were still further alienated from Jesus. They were greatly displeased, and wishing to wound the Saviour and gratify the malice of the Pharisees, they turned their backs upon Him, and left Him with disdain. They had made their choice,—had taken the form without the spirit, the husk without the kernel. Their decision was never afterward reversed; for they walked no more with Jesus.
Olaryň imansyzlygynyň açyk paş edilmegi arkaly bu şägirtler Isa bilen has-da daşlaşdylar. Olar juda närazy boldular we Halasgäri ýaralamagy hem-de fariseýleriň ýaman niýetini kanagatlandyrmagy isläp, Oňa arka öwürdiler-de, Onuň ýanyndan ýigrenç bilen gitdiler. Olar öz saýlawlaryny edipdiler, ruhsyz şekili, içki mazmunsyz gabygy saýlapdylar. Olaryň karary soň hiç haçan yzyna gaýtarylmady; çünki olar mundan beýläk Isa bilen bile ýöremediler.
“‘Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner.’ Matthew 3:12. This was one of the times of purging. By the words of truth, the chaff was being separated from the wheat. Because they were too vain and self-righteous to receive reproof, too world-loving to accept a life of humility, many turned away from Jesus. Many are still doing the same thing. Souls are tested today as were those disciples in the synagogue at Capernaum. When truth is brought home to the heart, they see that their lives are not in accordance with the will of God. They see the need of an entire change in themselves; but they are not willing to take up the self-denying work. Therefore they are angry when their sins are discovered. They go away offended, even as the disciples left Jesus, murmuring, ‘This is an hard saying; who can hear it?’” The Desire of Ages, 392.
“‘Onuň elegi Öz elindedir, we Ol harmanyny doly arassalap, bugdaýyny ammara ýygnar.’ Matta 3:12. Bu arassalanma döwürleriniň biridi. Hakykat sözleri arkaly saman bugdaýdan aýrylyp durdy. Köpüsi käýinji kabul etmek üçin özüne göwniýetiji we özüni dogry hasaplaýjy bolany, pesgöwünli ýaşaýşy kabul etmek üçin bolsa dünýäni aşa söýýäni sebäpli Isadan ýüz öwürdiler. Köp adamlar henizem şol bir zady edýärler. Jandarlar şu gün Kapernahumdaky sinagogada şol şägirtleriň synalşy ýaly synalýar. Hakykat ýürege ýetirilende, olar öz ýaşaýşynyň Hudaýyň erkine laýyk gelmeýändigini görýärler. Olar özlerinde düýpli bir özgerişligiň zerurdygyny görýärler; emma olar özünden ýüz döretmegi talap edýän bu işi öz üstüne almaga taýýardyrlar. Şonuň üçin olaryň günäleri ýüze çykarylanda gazaba münýärler. Olar, şägirtleriň Isany terk edip gidişi ýaly, närazy bolup gidýärler we: ‘Bu agyr sözdür; muny kim diňläp biler?’ diýip zeýrenýärler.” Ägirt Islegi, 392.
By “words of truth” the gold and silver of Malachi’s illustration of the final temple cleansing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand was represented.
“hakykat sözleri” diýlende, Malakiýanyň ýüz kyrk dört müňüň soňky ybadathana arassalanyşyny beýan edýän mysalyndaky altyn bilen kümüş görkezilipdi.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap. Malachi 3:1, 2.
Ine, Men Öz habarçymy ibererin, ol Meniň öňümde ýoly taýýarlar; siz gözleýän Reb birden Öz ybadathanasyna geler, ýagny siz onuň bilen şatlanýan ähtiň Habarçysy geler; ine, Ol geler, diýip, Hökmürowan Reb aýdýar. Emma Onuň gelýän gününe kim çydap biler? Ol görünende kim aýakda durup biler? Çünki Ol saplaýjynyň ody ýalydyr, hem-de mata agardyjylaryň sabyny ýalydyr. Malaky 3:1, 2.
All the prophets, including Malachi are identifying the last days. In the first of these articles we cited, The 1888 Materials, page 403, where we are informed, “He who rests satisfied with his own present imperfect knowledge of the Scriptures, thinking this sufficient for his salvation, is resting in a fatal deception. There are many who are not thoroughly furnished with Scriptural arguments, that they may be able to discern error, and condemn all the tradition and superstition that has been palmed off as truth.” Those identified in the same passage “are not close Bible students,” who have “not studied to a purpose” the “passages of Scripture” where there exists “differences of opinion.” Those being addressed “do not read the Bible [in order] to appropriate the marrow and fatness to their own souls. They do not feel that it is the voice of God speaking to them. But, if we would understand the way of salvation, if we would see the beams of the Sun of righteousness,” they “must study the Scriptures for a purpose.”
Malahiýa hem goşmak bilen, ähli pygamberler soňky günleri görkezýärler. Bu makalalaryň birinjisinde biz The 1888 Materials kitabynyň 403-nji sahypasyna salgylanypdyk; ol ýerde bize şeýle habar berilýär: “Mukaddes Ýazgylary baradaky häzirki kem-käs, kämil däl biliminden kanagat tapyp, muny öz halaslygy üçin ýeterlik hasap edýän adam ölüm getirýän bir aldanşyga daýanýar. Ýalňyşy saýgaryp bilmekleri we hakykat hökmünde öňe sürlen ähli däp-dessurlary hem-de yrymlary ýazgarmaklary üçin, Mukaddes Ýazgylardan getirilen deliller bilen doly enjamlaşdyrylmadyk köp adamlar bar.” Şol bir bölekde görkezilenler “Mukaddes Kitaby içgin öwrenýänler däl”; olar pikir tapawutlarynyň bar ýerindäki “Mukaddes Ýazgylaryň böleklerini” “maksat bilen” öwrenmändirler. Olara ýüzlenilip aýdylýanlar “Mukaddes Kitaby onuň iligini we ýaglylygyny öz janlaryna siňdirmek [üçin] okamaýarlar. Olar muny özlerine gepleýän Hudaýyň sesi diýip duýmaýarlar. Emma, eger biz halaslygyň ýoluna düşünmek islesek, eger biz dogrulyk Gününiň şöhlelerini görmek islesek,” onda olar “Mukaddes Ýazgylary maksat bilen öwrenmelidirler.”
The first article identified that one of the pieces of their misguided prophetic model is the passage from The Great Controversy, which records, “Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.” The Great Controversy, 615. Their private interpretation claims this sentence is identifying “Romanism” as past history and “apostate Protestantism” as the modern world. After the grammatical evidence that the application they make on this sentence has been wrested from its correct meaning, they exhibited no public retraction of the false application. In fact they used the very passage to advertise their next zoom meeting. Yet we are informed that “We ought to impress upon all the necessity of inquiring diligently into divine truth, that they may know that they do know what is truth.” There was no effort to retract the false claim, which appears to be evidence that those promoting this false application are not “inquiring diligently” to “know what is truth.”
Birinji makala olaryň ýalňyş pygamberlik nusgasynyň bölekleriniň biriniň The Great Controversy kitabyndaky şu parçadygyny anyklady: “Köne Dünýäde rim katolisizmi we Täze Dünýäde mürtäd protestantizm, Hudaýyň ähli buýruklaryny hormatlaýanlara garşy meňzeş bir ýol tutar.” The Great Controversy, 615. Olaryň hususy düşündirişi bu sözlemiň “rim katolisizmini” geçen taryh, “mürtäd protestantizmi” bolsa häzirki zaman dünýäsi hökmünde görkezýändigini öňe sürýär. Bu sözleme beren ulanylyşlarynyň onuň dogry manysyndan öwrülip alnandygyny görkezýän grammatiki subutnamadan soň, olar bu ýalňyş ulanylyşy açyk ýagdaýda yzyna almadylar. Aslynda bolsa, olar indiki zoom duşuşygyny mahabatlandyrmak üçin hut şol parçany ulandylar. Şeýle-de bolsa, bize şeýle habar berilýär: “Biz hemmeleriň üstüne ylahy hakykaty yhlas bilen derňemegiň zerurdygyny täsirli etmeli, şeýdip olaryň hakykatyň nämedigini hakykatdan-da bilýändiklerini bilmegi üçin.” Bu ýalan talaby yzyna almak ugrunda hiç bir synanyşyk bolmady; bu bolsa, bu ýalňyş ulanylyşy öňe sürýänleriň “hakykatyň nämedigini bilmek” üçin “yhlas bilen derňäp” durmaýandyklarynyň subutnamasy bolup görünýär.
From the beginning of this controversy, we have approached it as if it was more than simply a disagreement between truth and error over who the robbers of thy people represent, and I still hold that position. The articles on the book of Daniel had reached a point by number two hundred where the significance of verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven had been soundly set forth. The verses represent the history from 1989 unto the soon-coming Sunday law that exists in verse forty of Daniel eleven.
Bu jedeliň başyndan bäri biz oňa diňe bir “seniň halkyňdaky talaňçylar” diýenleriň kimi aňladýandygy baradaky hakykat bilen ýalňyşyň arasyndaky düşünişmezlik hökmünde däl-de, mundan has artýan bir zat hökmünde çemeleşdik, we men henizem şol garaýyşda galýaryn. Danyýel kitabyna degişli makalalar iki ýüzünji belgä ýetende, Danyýel 11-iň on üçünji aýatyndan on bäşinji aýatyna çenli bolan aýatlaryň ähmiýeti berk esasda beýan edilipdi. Bu aýatlar 1989-njy ýyldan başlap, Danyýel 11-iň kyrkynjy aýatynda bar bolan tizden geljek Ýekşenbe kanunyna çenli bolan taryhy aňladýar.
We have been identifying that history as the hidden history of verse forty. We have also identified that when Sister Whites states “the book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days,” that the hidden history of Daniel chapter eleven verse forty is “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel.” Verses thirteen through fifteen represent the prophetic truth which is unsealed in the last days. Those three verses are therefore also represented as both the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” and the “Seven Thunders” in the book of Revelation that is unsealed just prior to the close of probation. When Sister White refers to that “portion of the book of Daniel,” the passage where the statement is located states:
Biz şol taryhy kyrkynjy aýatyň gizlin taryhy hökmünde kesgitläp gelýäris. Şeýle hem, Waýtyň uýasy: “möhürlenen kitap Ylham däl-de, eýsem Daniel pygamberligiň soňky günlere degişli şol bölegidir” diýip beýan eden mahaly, Daniel kitabynyň on birinji bap, kyrkynjy aýatynyň gizlin taryhynyň “Daniel pygamberligiň şol bölegi”digini hem kesgitledik. On üçünji aýatdan on bäşinji aýata çenli soňky günlerde möhüri açylýan pygamberlik hakykatyny aňladýar. Şonuň üçin bu üç aýat hem synag möhletiniň tamamlanmagynyň öňüsyrasynda möhüri açylýan Ylham kitabynda hem “Isa Mesihiň Ylhamy”, hem-de “Ýedi Gümmürdi” hökmünde görkezilýär. Waýt uýasy “Daniel kitabynyň şol bölegi” diýen jümlä ýüzlenende, bu beýanatyň ýerleşýän ýerindäki parçanyň özi şeýle diýýär:
“Let none think, because they cannot explain the meaning of every symbol in the Revelation, that it is useless for them to search this book in an effort to know the meaning of the truth it contains. The One who revealed these mysteries to John will give to the diligent searcher for truth a foretaste of heavenly things. Those whose hearts are open to the reception of truth will be enabled to understand its teachings, and will be granted the blessing promised to those who ‘hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’
Hiç kimse, Vahiy’deki her bir sembolün anlamını açıklayamadığı için, bu kitabın içerdiği gerçeğin anlamını öğrenme gayretiyle onu araştırmanın kendisi için yararsız olduğunu düşünmesin. Bu sırları Yuhanna’ya açmış olan Kişi, gerçeği özenle arayana göksel şeylerden bir ön tadış verecektir. Yürekleri gerçeği kabul etmeye açık olanlar, onun öğretilerini anlamaya muktedir kılınacak ve “bu peygamberliğin sözlerini işiten ve onda yazılı olan şeyleri tutan”lara vaat edilen kutsama kendilerine bağışlanacaktır.
“In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 584, 585.
“Ylhamyň kitabynda Mukaddes Kitabyň ähli kitaplary birleşýär we tamamlanýar. Ine, şu ýerde Daniýel kitabynyň üstüni ýetirýän bölegi bar. Biri pygamberlikdir; beýlekisi ylhamdyr. Möhürlenen kitap Ylham kitaby däl, eýsem Daniýeliň soňky günlere degişli pygamberliginiň şol bölegidir. Perişde şeýle buýurdy: ‘Emma sen, eý Daniýel, bu sözleri gizlin sakla we kitabyny ahyrzamanyň wagtyna çenli möhürle.’ Daniýel 12:4.” Resullaryň Işleri, 584, 585.
The word “complement” means to bring to perfection. The portion of the book of Daniel that relates to the last days, which is unsealed at the time of the end, is made perfect when combined, “line upon line” with the “Revelation of Jesus Christ,” and “the Seven Thunders.” Those three representations are the message which is unsealed, and therefore represents the “words of truth” that are employed to “purge” the one hundred and forty four thousand in the final temple cleansing of Malachi, as represented in verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven. The verse in the middle is the verse where the current controversy is represented, and as such represents the identical controversy that confronted the Millerites in their prophetic history.
“Doldurma” sözi kämillige ýetirmegi aňladýar. Ahyrky günler bilen baglanyşykly, ahyrzamanyň wagtynda möhüri açylýan Daniýel kitabynyň bölümi, “setir üstüne setir” görnüşinde “Isa Mesihiň Ylhamy” we “Ýedi Gök Gürlemesi” bilen birleşdirilende kämilleşdirilýär. Şol üç görnüş, möhüri açylan habardyr, şonuň üçin-de olar Daniýel on birinji bapdaky on üçünji bilen on bäşinji aýatlar arkaly şekillendirilişi ýaly, Malahidäki ybadathananyň ahyrky arassalanyşynda ýüz kyrk dört müňi “päklemek” üçin ulanylýan “hakykat sözlerini” aňladýar. Ortadaky aýat häzirki jedeliň şekillendirilen aýatydyr, şonuň ýaly-da ol pygamberlik taryhynda Milleritleriň ýüzbe-ýüz bolan şol bir jedelini aňladýar.
To claim the “robbers of thy people” in verse fourteen is the United States is a perfect parallel to the Protestants of Millerite history claiming that the robbers represented Antiochus Epiphanes. The controversy will purge the dross from the gold and silver, but the more important issue is that the controversy has been allowed to lead those represented by the Levites of Malachi chapter three to study more deeply than ever before God’s prophetic Word. The “dirt brush Man” of William Miller’s dream is now sweeping the counterfeit coins and jewels out of the room, in advance of His work in reassembling the genuine jewels into a perfect order which shines ten times brighter than the sun.
On dördünji aýatda beýan edilen “halkyňyň talaňçylary” diýen sözüň Birleşen Ştatlar diýlip öňe sürülmegi, Millerçi taryhynyň protestantlarynyň şol talaňçylaryň Antihos Epifanesdigini öňe sürmeginiň doly meňzeşidir. Bu dawalaşyk altyn bilen kümüşdäki hapa garyndylary aýryp taşlar, emma has möhüm mesele şudur: bu dawalaşyk Malaky kitabyň üçünji babyndaky Lewiler bilen şekillendirilenleri Hudaýyň pygamberlik Sözüni öňküsinden has çuňňur öwrenmäge getirip goýberdi. William Milleriň düýşündäki “kir-çaň süpürýän Adam” indi galp teňňeleri we gymmatbahaly daşlary otagdan süpürip çykarýar; bu bolsa hakyky gymmatbahaly daşlary kämil bir tertibe gaýtadan jemläp, günüň özünden on esse ýagty saçýan derejä getirmek işiniň öň ýanyndadyr.
The controversy was allowed to take place to accomplish that very work, for we have been informed that, “God will arouse His people; if other means fail, heresies will come in among them, which will sift them, separating the chaff from the wheat. The Lord calls upon all who believe His word to awake out of sleep. Precious light has come, appropriate for this time. It is Bible truth, showing the perils that are right upon us. This light should lead us to a diligent study of the Scriptures and a most critical examination of the positions which we hold. God would have all the bearings and positions of truth thoroughly and perseveringly searched, with prayer and fasting. Believers are not to rest in suppositions and ill-defined ideas of what constitutes truth.”
Dawa-dawaň ýüze çykmagyna hut şol işi amala aşyrmak üçin ýol berildi, çünki bize şeýle habar berildi: “Hudaý Öz halkyny oýarar; eger başga serişdeler netije bermese, bidgatçylyklar olaryň arasyna girer; şol bidgatçylyklar olary elekten geçirip, samany bugdaýdan aýrar. Rebbiň Sözüne iman edýänleriň hemmesini ukudan oýanmaga çagyrýar. Bu döwür üçin laýyk gelýän gymmatly nur geldi. Ol — bize edil golaýlap gelen howplary görkezýän Mukaddes Kitap hakykatydyr. Bu nur bizi Ýazgylary yhlas bilen öwrenmäge we tutýan garaýyşlarymyzy iň düýpli tankydy synagdan geçirmäge alyp barmalydyr. Hudaý hakykatyň ähli taraplarynyň we ähli ýagdaýlarynyň doga hem-de agyz beklemek bilen düýpli we gaýtman-gaytman barlanmagyny isleýär. Iman edenler hakykatyň nämeden ybaratdygy barada çaklamalarda we anyk kesgitlenmedik pikirlerde köşeşmeli däldirler.”
The “heresies” He allows and employs to arouse His sleeping saints are “old controversies.”
Mukaddeslerini uýkudan oýarmak üçin Onuň ýol berýän we peýdalanýan “azgyn taglymatlary” “köne jedellerdir.”
“In history and prophecy the Word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been, will be repeated. Old controversies will be revived, and new theories will be continually arising. But God’s people, who in their belief and fulfillment of prophecy have acted a part in the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels’ messages, know where they stand. They have an experience that is more precious than fine gold. They are to stand firm as a rock, holding the beginning of their confidence steadfast unto the end.” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.
“Taryhda we pygamberlikde Hudaýyň Sözi hakykat bilen ýalanyň arasynda uzak wagtdan bäri dowam edip gelýän göreşi beýan edýär. Ol göreş heniz hem dowam edýär. Ozal bolan zatlar gaýtadan bolar. Köneden gelýän jedeller täzeden janlandyrylar, hem-de täze nazaryýetler yzygiderli peýda bolar. Emma öz ynançlarynda we pygamberlikleriň ýerine ýetişine düşünmekde birinji, ikinji we üçünji perişdäniň habarlarynyň yglan edilmeginde paýy bolan Hudaýyň halky özleriniň nirede durýandyklaryny bilýär. Olaryň başdan geçiren tejribesi iň arassa altyndan hem gymmatlydyr. Olar gaýanyň kimin mizemez durmaly bolup, ynamynyň başlangyjyny ahyra çenli berk saklamalydyrlar.” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.
The controversy over the “robbers of thy people” is an old controversy from the Millerite history, which is the “beginning of their confidence” that they are told to hold “steadfast to the end.” The “beginning of” the one hundred and forty-four thousand’s “confidence” is the foundational truths which are represented upon the 1843 and 1850 pioneer charts.
“Seniň halkyňdan talaňçylar” baradaky jedel Milleritleriň taryhyndan bäri gelýän gadymy jedeldir; bu bolsa, olara “ahyryna çenli berk saklamagy” tabşyrylan “ynamlarynyň başlangyjydyr”. Ýüz kyrk dört müňüň “ynamynyň” “başlangyjy” 1843-nji we 1850-nji ýyllaryň öňdebaryjy çyzgylarynda görkezilen binýatlyk hakykatlardyr.
“The enemy is seeking to divert the minds of our brethren and sisters from the work of preparing a people to stand in these last days. His sophistries are designed to lead minds away from the perils and duties of the hour. They estimate as nothing the light that Christ came from heaven to give John for his people. They teach that the scenes just before us are not of sufficient importance to receive special attention. They make of no effect the truth of heavenly origin, and rob the people of God of their past experience, giving them instead a false science.
Duşman dogan-uýalarymyzyň aňlaryny şu ahyrky günlerde durup biljek bir halky taýýarlamak işinden sowmaga çalyşýar. Onuň mekir paýhaslary akyllary şu pursatyň howplaryndan we borçlaryndan daşlaşdyrmak üçin niýetlenendir. Olar Mesihiň öz halky üçin Ýahýa bermäge gökden getiren nuruny hiç zat hasap edýärler. Olar biziň göni öňümizde duran wakalaryň aýratyn üns berilmäge ýeterlik derejede möhüm däldigini öwredýärler. Olar gökden gözbaş alýan hakykaty güýjünden gaçyrýarlar we onuň ýerine galp bir ylym berip, Hudaýyň halkyny öňki tejribesinden mahrum edýärler.
“‘Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein.’
“‘Reb şeýle diýýär: Ýollaryň çatrygynda duruň, serediň, gadymy ýollary — ýagşy ýoluň nirede digini — soraň, şol ýoldan ýöräň.’”
“Let none seek to tear away the foundations of our faith,—the foundations that were laid at the beginning of our work, by prayerful study of the Word and by revelation. Upon these foundations we have been building for the last fifty years. Men may suppose that they have found a new way, and that they can lay a stronger foundation than that which has been laid. But this is a great deception. Other foundation can no man lay than that which has been laid.
Hiç kimse imanımızın temellerini söküp atmaya kalkışmasın,—çalışmamızın başlangıcında, Söz’ün dua dolu incelemesiyle ve vahiy aracılığıyla atılmış olan temelleri. Son elli yıldır biz bu temeller üzerine bina etmekteyiz. İnsanlar yeni bir yol bulduklarını ve atılmış olandan daha sağlam bir temel koyabileceklerini sanabilirler. Fakat bu büyük bir aldanıştır. Çünkü atılmış olandan başka hiç kimse başka bir temel atamaz.
“In the past many have undertaken the building of a new faith, the establishment of new principles. But how long did their building stand?—It soon fell; for it was not founded upon the Rock.
Geçmişde köpler täze bir imany gurmaga, täze ýörelgeleri ornaşdyrmaga girişdiler. Emma olaryň binasy näçe wagtlap durdy?—Ol tizden ýykyldy; sebäbi ol Gaýanyň üstünde düýbi tutulmandy.
“Did not the first disciples have to meet the sayings of men? Did they not have to listen to false theories, and then, having done all, to stand firm, saying, ‘Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid’?
“Ilkinji şägirtler hem adamlaryň sözleri bilen ýüzbe-ýüz bolmaly däldilermi? Olar ýalan nazaryýetleri diňlemeli bolmadykmy, soňra bolsa ähli zerur zady berjaý edip, berk durup: ‘Goýlan binýatdan başga hiç kim başga binýat goýup bilmez’ diýmelidälermi?”
“So we are to hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end. Words of power have been sent by God and by Christ to this people, bringing them out from the world, point by point, into the clear light of present truth. With lips touched with holy fire, God’s servants have proclaimed the message. The divine utterance has set its seal to the genuineness of the truth proclaimed.” Review and Herald, March 3, 1904.
“Şeýlelik bilen, ynamymyzyň başlangyjyny ahyra çenli sarsmaz berk tutmalydyrys. Güýç-kuwwatly sözler Hudaý tarapyndan we Mesih tarapyndan bu halka iberildi; olar bu halky dünýäden çykaryp, nokatba-nokat häzirki hakykatyň aýdyň ýagtysyna getirdi. Dodaklary mukaddes ot bilen degirilen Hudaýyň gullukçylary habary yglan etdiler. Yglan edilen hakykatyň hakykylygyna ylahy söz özüniň möhürini basdy.” Review and Herald, March 3, 1904.
Jeremiah’s “old paths,” are the “foundations that were laid at the beginning of our work.” Those truths were founded “upon the Rock,” and in the Millerite history those foundational truths were the “present truth” message that was proclaimed in 1842, 1843 and 1844.
Ýeremiýanyň “köne ýollary” — “işimiziň başynda goýlan esaslardyr.” Ol hakykatlar “Gaýanyň üstünde” esaslandyryldy, we Millerit taryhynda şol düýpli hakykatlar 1842, 1843 we 1844-nji ýyllarda wagyz edilen “häzirki hakykat” habarydy.
“May God help you to receive the words that I have spoken. Let those who stand as God’s watchmen on the walls of Zion be men who can see the dangers before the people,—men who can distinguish between truth and error, righteousness and unrighteousness.
“Goý, aýdan sözlerimi kabul etmegiňiz üçin size ýardam etsin. Sionyň diwarlarynda Hudaýyň sakçylary bolup duranlar, halkyň öňündäki howplary öňünden görüp bilýän adamlar bolsunlar,—hakykat bilen ýalanyň, dogrulyk bilen nädogrulygyň arasyny saýgaryp bilýän adamlar.”
“The warning has come: Nothing is to be allowed to come in that will disturb the foundation of the faith upon which we have been building ever since the message came in 1842, 1843, and 1844. I was in this message, and ever since I have been standing before the world, true to the light that God has given us. We do not propose to take our feet off the platform on which they were placed as day by day we sought the Lord with earnest prayer, seeking for light. Do you think that I could give up the light that God has given me? It is to be as the Rock of Ages. It has been guiding me ever since it was given. Brethren and sisters, God lives and reigns and works today. His hand is on the wheel, and in his providence he is turning the wheel in accordance with his own will. Let not men fasten themselves to documents, saying what they will do, and what they will not do. Let them fasten themselves to the Lord God of heaven. Then the light of heaven will shine into the soul-temple, and we shall see the salvation of God.” Review and Herald, April 14, 1903.
“Duýduryş geldi: 1842, 1843 we 1844-nji ýyllarda gelen habardan bäri gurup gelýän imanymyzyň binýadyny sarsdyrjak hiç bir zadyň içeri girmegine ýol berilmeli däldir. Men bu habaryň içindedim, şondan bäri hem Hudaýyň bize beren nuruna wepaly bolup, dünýäniň öňünde durup geldim. Biz günbe-gün çyn ýürekden doga edip, nur agtaryp Rebbi gözlänimizde, aýaklarymyzyň goýlan münberinden aýagymyzy aýyrmagy meýilleşdirmeýäris. Siz meniň Hudaýyň maňa beren nurundan ýüz öwrüp biljekdigimi pikir edýärsiňizmi? Ol Asyrlar gaýasy ýaly bolmalydyr. Berlen gününden bäri ol maňa ýol görkezdi. Doganlar we uýalar, Hudaý ýaşaýar, höküm sürýär we şu gün hem işleýär. Onuň eli tigiriň üstündedir, we Öz yhlasynda Ol tigiri Öz erkine görä öwürýär. Adamlar özlerini resminamalara baglamasynlar, näme etjekdiklerini we näme etmejekdiklerini aýdyp. Olar özlerini asmanyň Rebbi Hudaýa baglasynlar. Şonda asmanyň nury jan ybadathanasyna şöhle salar, we biz Hudaýyň gutulyşyny göreris.” Review and Herald, 14-nji aprel, 1903.
The message that was proclaimed “in 1842, 1843, and 1844” is the message represented upon the 1843 pioneer chart. In May of 1842, three hundred 1843 charts were printed. Ellen White and the pioneers all gave testimony that the chart was a fulfillment of Habakkuk chapter two’s command to write the vision and make it plain upon tables. In that very history there were three hundred Millerite preachers, and SDA historians testify to the fact that they all employed the 1843 chart.
“1842, 1843 we 1844-nji ýyllarda” wagyz edilen habar 1843-nji ýylyň öňdebaryjy çyzgysynda görkezilen habardyr. 1842-nji ýylyň maý aýynda 1843-nji ýylyň üç ýüz sany çyzgysy çap edildi. Ellen Waýt bilen öňdebaryjylar hemmesi şol çyzgynyň Habakuk kitabynyň ikinji babyndaky görnüşi ýazmak we ony tagtalarda aýdyň etmek baradaky buýrugyň berjaý bolandygyny güwä geçdiler. Hut şol taryhda üç ýüz sany Millerçi wagyzçy bardy, we SDA taryhçylary olaryň hemmesiniň 1843-nji ýylyň çyzgysyny ulanandygyny hakykat hökmünde tassyklaýarlar.
What would possess a person to claim that the pioneer identification of Rome as the robbers of thy people, as represented upon the chart, is erroneous? What would possess someone to receive that claim? Yet, what possesses those of us that claim to accept the pioneer understanding that Rome is symbolized with the expression, “robbers of thy people,” and yet in reality not be able to defend that understanding for themselves?
Adamy “seniň halkyňdan bolan talaňçylar” diýen aňlatma bilen nyşanlanyşy ýaly, Rimiň şol görnüşde pionerler tarapyndan kesgitlenmeginiň ýalňyşdygyny öňe sürmäge bir adamy näme iterer? Şeýle öňe sürmäni kabul etmäge birini näme iterer? Emma, Rimiň “seniň halkyňdan bolan talaňçylar” diýen aňlatma bilen nyşanlandygy baradaky pioner düşünjesini kabul edýändigimizi aýdýan, ýöne hakykatda şol düşünjäni özümiz üçin gorap bilmeýän biziň özümizi näme iterýär?
In the first article we cited the following passage:
Birinji makalada biz aşakdaky parçany sitata getirdik:
“Whatever may be man’s intellectual advancement, let him not for a moment think that there is no need of thorough and continuous searching of the Scriptures for greater light. As a people we are called individually to be students of prophecy. We must watch with earnestness that we may discern any ray of light which God shall present to us.” Testimonies, volume 5, 708.
“Adamyň akyl taýdan näçe öňe giden hem bolsa, ol has uly nur üçin Mukaddes Ýazgylary çuňňur we üznüksiz öwrenmegiň zerurlygynyň ýokdugyny bir pursat hem pikir etmesin. Biz halk hökmünde aýratynlykda pygamberligiň talyplary bolmaga çagyryldyrys. Hudaýyň bize görkezjek islendik nur şöhlesini saýgarar ýaly, biz yhlas bilen gözegçilik etmelidiris.” Testimonies, volume 5, 708.
I claim the “light which God” is now presenting “to us” is that we have not fully awakened to our responsibility to personally understand the first fifteen verses of Daniel eleven, and that we have not understood that verses thirteen to fifteen of that same chapter represents the truths that accomplish the final purging and sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. If there were no heresies introduced in this very history it would provide evidence that we are wide awake. But this controversy proves otherwise.
Men “Hudaýyň” häzir “bize” görkezýän “yşygyny” şeýle diýip yglan edýärin: biz Daniýel kitabynyň on birinji babyndaky ilkinji on bäş aýata şahsy jogapkärçiligimiz esasynda doly düşünmäge heniz bütinleý oýanmandyrys; hem-de şol babyň on üçünji aýatyndan on bäşinji aýatyna çenli bolan sözleriň ýüz kyrk dört müňüň ahyrky arassalanyşyny we möhürlenişini amala aşyrýan hakykatlary aňladýandygyna düşünmändiris. Eger hut şu taryhyň içinde hiç hili bidgatçylyk girizilmedik bolsady, bu biziň doly oýanandygymyzyň subutnamasy bolardy. Emma bu jedel munuň tersini subut edýär.
“The fact that there is no controversy or agitation among God’s people should not be regarded as conclusive evidence that they are holding fast to sound doctrine. There is reason to fear that they may not be clearly discriminating between truth and error. When no new questions are started by investigation of the Scriptures, when no difference of opinion arises which will set men to searching the Bible for themselves to make sure that they have the truth, there will be many now, as in ancient times, who will hold to tradition and worship they know not what. . ..
Hudaýyň halkynyň arasynda hiç hili jedel ýa-da tolgunyşyk bolmazlygy olaryň sagdyn taglymy berk saklaýandyklarynyň gutarnykly subutnamasy hökmünde kabul edilmeli däldir. Olaryň hakykat bilen ýalňyşlygy aýdyň tapawutlandyrmaýan bolmaklaryndan howatyr etmäge esas bardyr. Mukaddes Ýazgylaryň barlagy arkaly täze meseleler gozgalmaýan wagtynda, adamlary özlerinde hakykatyň bardygyna göz ýetirmek üçin Injili özleri üçin agtarmaga iterjek pikir ayratynlyklary ýüze çykmaýan wagtynda, gadymy döwürlerde bolşy ýaly, häzirki wagtda-da köp adam däbe ýapyşar we nämä ybadat edýändiklerini bilmän ybadat ederler....
“God will arouse His people; if other means fail, heresies will come in among them, which will sift them, separating the chaff from the wheat. The Lord calls upon all who believe His word to awake out of sleep. Precious light has come, appropriate for this time. It is Bible truth, showing the perils that are right upon us. This light should lead us to a diligent study of the Scriptures and a most critical examination of the positions which we hold. God would have all the bearings and positions of truth thoroughly and perseveringly searched, with prayer and fasting. Believers are not to rest in suppositions and ill-defined ideas of what constitutes truth. Their faith must be firmly founded upon the word of God so that when the testing time shall come and they are brought before councils to answer for their faith they may be able to give a reason for the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear.
“Hudaý Öz halkyny oýarar; eger başga serişdeler netijesiz bolsa, olaryň arasyna bidgatlar girer, şol bidgatlar hem olary eleger, samany bugdaýdan aýyrar. Reb Öz sözüne ynanýanlaryň hemmesini ukudan oýanmaga çagyrýar. Bu döwür üçin laýyk bolan gymmatly nur geldi. Ol edil üstümize inip gelýän howplary görkezýän Mukaddes Kitap hakykatydyr. Bu nur bizi Mukaddes Ýazgylary yhlas bilen öwrenmäge we biziň eýeleýän garaýyşlarymyzyň örän çuňňur barlagyny geçirmäge alyp barmalydyr. Hudaý hakykatyň ähli taraplarynyň we ähli ýagdaýlarynyň doga we agyz beklemek bilen düýpli hem tutanýerli barlanmagyny isleýär. Imana gelenler hakykatyň nämäni emele getirýändigi baradaky çaklamalarda we anyk kesgitlenmedik düşünjelerde arkaýyn oturmaly däldirler. Olaryň imany Hudaýyň sözüne pugta esaslandyrylan bolmalydyr, şonuň üçin synag wagty gelende we olar öz imanlary üçin jogap bermek maksady bilen geňeşleriň öňüne getirilende, içlerinde bolan umyda ýumşaklyk we gorky bilen esas getirip bilsinler.”
“Agitate, agitate, agitate. The subjects which we present to the world must be to us a living reality. It is important that in defending the doctrines which we consider fundamental articles of faith we should never allow ourselves to employ arguments that are not wholly sound.” Testimonies, volume 5, 708.
“Tolgundyryň, tolgundyryň, tolgundyryň. Biziň dünýä hödürleýän mowzuklarymyz biziň üçin janly hakykat bolmalydyr. Imanymyzyň düýpli esaslary hasap edýän taglymatlary goraýarkak, hiç wagt özümize doly derejede pugta bolmadyk delilleri ulanmaga ýol bermeli däldiris.” Testimonies, 5-nji tom, 708.
As we move forward in this consideration of the robbers of God’s people we will demonstrate that the argument upon verse fourteen of Daniel eleven between the Protestants and the Millerites is identical to the argument between the new and private interpretation that the United States, and not Rome, establishes the vision. The position that The Great Controversy uses the expression, “old world” to identify past history is a “supposition and ill-defined idea” and it is an illustration of an “argument that is not wholly sound.”
Hudaýyň halkyny talaýanlar baradaky şu garamanymyzda öňe gidip barýarkak, biz Daniýel on birinji babyň on dördünji aýaty babatda protestantlar bilen Milleritleriň arasyndaky jedeliň, görüşi Rim däl-de, eýsem Birleşen Ştatlar tassyklaýar diýýän täze we hususy düşündiriş bilen arasyndaky jedel bilen birmeňzeşdigini görkezeris. “The Great Controversy” eseriniň geçen taryhy görkezmek üçin “old world” diýen aňlatmany ulanýar diýen garaýyş “çaklama we anyk kesgitlenmedik pikir” bolup, ol “doly derejede ygtybarly bolmadyk deliliň” bir mysalydyr.
Those who have used the passage to uphold their supposition that the Millerites were incorrect in identifying Rome as the robbers of thy people, should fulfill their Christian obligation and publicly retract their claim, for it is unsustainable grammatically and historically. For those sitting on the side-lines of this controversy, you are responsible to rightly divide the word of truth, for you have been called to be an individual who is a student of prophecy, not a follower of a man’s idea.
Öz halkyň talaňçylary hökmünde Rimlileri kesgitlemekde Milleritleriň ýalňyşandygyny öňe sürýän çaklamalaryny goldamak üçin bu parçany ulananlar, özleriniň hristianlyk borçlaryny berjaý edip, talaplaryny köpçüligiň öňünde yzyna almaly, çünki ol ne grammatik taýdan, ne-de taryhy taýdan durnuklydyr. Bu jedeliň gapdalynda synçy bolup oturanlar bolsa, hakykat sözüni dogry bölmäge jogapkärsiňiz, çünki siz bir adamyň pikirine eýeriji bolmaga däl-de, pygamberlik taglymatynyň talyby bolan şahs bolmaga çagyryldyňyz.
Men wrest the Scriptures to their own destruction.
Adamlar Mukaddes Ýazgylary özleriniň heläk bolmagyna tarap ýoýýarlar.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:15–18.
Rebbimiziň sabyrlylygynyň gutulyşdygyn hasap ediň; söýgüli doganymyz Pawlus hem özüne berlen paýhasa görä size şeýle ýazandyr; ol ähli hatlarynda-da bu zatlar hakda sözläpdir; şolarda düşünilmesi kyn bolan käbir zatlar bar, olary nadan we durnuksyz adamlar, beýleki Mukaddes Ýazgylary-da edişleri ýaly, özleriniň heläkçiligi üçin ýoýýarlar. Şonuň üçin, eý söýgüliler, muny öňünden bilýändigiňiz sebäpli, azgynlaryň ýalňyşlygy bilen sürüklenip, öz berk duruşyňyzdan ýykylyp galmazlygyňyz üçin ägä boluň. Emma merhemetde we Rebbimiz hem Halasgärimiz Isa Mesih baradaky bilimde ösdüň. Oňa häzir hem ebedilikde şöhrat bolsun. Ämin. 2 Petrus 3:15–18.
Peter states that it is the “unlearned and unstable” who “wrest” the Scriptures “unto their own destruction.” In agreement with that fact is Sister White’s repeated warnings to us to study for ourselves. If we are not fulfilling our responsibility to be students of prophecy, we are determining our own destruction.
Petr Mukaddes Ýazgylary “öz heläkçiligine” “ýoýýanlaryň” “okuwsyz we durnuksyz” adamlardygyny aýdýar. Bu hakykat bilen ylalaşykda, Uayt uýa bize özümiz üçin öwrenmek babatda gaýtalap duýduryş berýär. Eger biz pygamberlikleri öwreniji bolmak baradaky jogapkärçiligimizi ýerine ýetirmeýän bolsak, onda öz heläkçiligimizi özümiz kesgitleýäris.
It is the robbers of thy people who establish the vision, and Solomon identifies that where there is no vision the people perish.
Bu, görnuşi berkarar edýän seniň halkyňyň talaňçylarydyr, we Süleýman hem görnuşiň ýok ýerinde halkyň heläk bolýandygyny aýdýar.
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18.
Görgülik ýok ýerde halk heläk bolýar; ýöne kanuny saklaýan bagtlydyr. Süleýmanyň pähimleri 29:18.
One of the definitions of “perish” is to be made naked. Where there is an incorrect understanding of the vision, it is based upon the fact that the symbol that establishes the vision is not understood, or incorrectly understood. To be among those who perish in Solomon’s warning is to secure the nakedness represented by the Laodiceans who are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord at the soon coming Sunday law. Why would we accept an idea that misrepresents the clear meaning of Sister White’s comments upon the old and new world, and that rejects the Millerite identification that it is Rome who establishes the vision, which was directly represented upon the 1843 chart, which represents the foundational truths of Adventism, and which is Christ, the Rock of Ages that is represented by all sacred illustration of the foundations?
“Heläk bolmak” sözüniň bir manysy-da ýalaňaç edilmekdir. Görnüşe nädogry düşünilýän ýerde, ol, şol görnüşi berkarar edýän nyşanyň düşünilmändigi ýa-da nädogry düşünilendigi esasynda ýüze çykýar. Süleýmanyň duýduryşyndaky heläk bolýanlaryň arasynda bolmak, ýakynda geljek Ýekşenbe kanunynda Rebbiň agzyndan tüýkürilip çykarylýan Laodikialylar arkaly aňladylýan ýalaňaçlygy özüňe üpjün etmekdir. Näme üçin biz Sister White-nyň köne we täze dünýä baradaky bellikleriniň aýdyň manysyny nädogry görkezýän hem-de görnüşi berkarar edýäniň hut Rimdiigini aýdýan Millerit kesgitlemesini ret edýän bir pikiri kabul etmeli bolaly? Ol kesgitleme 1843-nji ýylyň çartynda göni görkezilipdi, şol çart Adventizmiň binýat hakykatlaryny aňladýar, we ol ähli mukaddes şekillendirişlerde binýatlar arkaly görkezilýän Asyrlaryň Gaýasy bolan Mesihdir.
“But every building erected on other foundation than God’s word will fall. He who, like the Jews in Christ’s day, builds on the foundation of human ideas and opinions, of forms and ceremonies of man’s invention, or on any works that he can do independently of the grace of Christ, is erecting his structure of character upon the shifting sand. The fierce tempests of temptation will sweep away the sandy foundation and leave his house a wreck on the shores of time.
Emma Hudaýyň Sözüinden başga binýadyň üstünde gurlan her bir bina ýykyljakdyr. Mesihiň günlerindäki ýehudalar ýaly, adam pikirleriniň we garaýyşlarynyň, adam tarapyndan oýlanyp tapylan görnüşleriň hem dabaralaryň binýadynda, ýa-da Mesihiň merhemetinden aýratynlykda öz edip biljek islendik işleriniň üstünde gurýan kişi, öz häsiýet gurluşyny süýşgün çägäniň üstünde galdyrýandyr. Synagyň gazaply tupanlary şol çägeli binýady syryp äkider we onuň öýüni wagtyň kenarlarynda weýrançylyk halynda galdyrar.
“‘“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, … Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.’ Isaiah 28:16, 17.
“Şonuň üçin Reb Hudaý şeýle diýýär: … Hökümi hem ölçeg ýüpine görä, dogrulygy bolsa gurşunly dikölçege görä goýaryn; doly ýalan gaçybatalgasyny süpürip äkider, suwlar hem bukulýan ýeri joşup basar.” Işaýa 28:16, 17.
“But today mercy pleads with the sinner. ‘As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?’ Ezekiel 33:11. The voice that speaks to the impenitent today is the voice of Him who in heart anguish exclaimed as He beheld the city of His love: ‘O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her own brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.’ Luke 13:34, 35 , R.V. In Jerusalem, Jesus beheld a symbol of the world that had rejected and despised His grace. He was weeping, O stubborn heart, for you! Even when Jesus’ tears were shed upon the mount, Jerusalem might yet have repented, and escaped her doom. For a little space the Gift of heaven still waited her acceptance. So, O heart, to you Christ is still speaking in accents of love: ‘Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.’ ‘Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.’ Revelation 3:20; 2 Corinthians 6:2.
“Emma bu gün rehim günäkär üçin ýalbaryýar. ‘Öz diriligime ant içýärin, diýýär Reb Hudaý, men pis adamyň ölüminden hoşal däl; gaýtam, pis adam öz ýolundan dönüp ýaşasyn: dönüň, dönüň öz erbet ýollaryňyzdan; näme üçin ölmek isleýärsiňiz?’ Ezekiel 33:11. Bu gün toba etmeýänlere gepleýän ses, söýgüli şäherine seredip, ýürek hasraty içinde şeýle nalyş eden Şol Biriniň sesidir: ‘Eý Iýerusalim, Iýerusalim, pygamberleri öldürýän we oňa iberilenleri daşlaýan! towuk öz jüýjelerini ganatlarynyň astyna ýygnayşy ýaly, men seniň çagalaryňy näçe gezek ýygnamak istedim, emma siz islemediňiz! Ine, öýüňiz size weýran halde taşlanyp berildi.’ Luke 13:34, 35, R.V. Iýerusalimde Isa Öz merhemetini ret eden we ýigrenen dünýäniň nyşanyny gördi. Eý, boýun egmeýän ýürek, Ol seniň üçin aglaýardy! Hatda Isanyň gözýaşlary dagyň üstünde dökülen wagty-da, Iýerusalim heniz toba edip, öz höküminden gutulyp bilerdi. Asmandan bolan Peşgeş onuň kabul etmegine ýene az wagt garaşýardy. Şeýlelik bilen, eý ýürek, Mesihe bolan söýgüniň owazlary bilen Mesih heniz saňa şeýle diýýär: ‘Ine, gapynyň agzynda durup kakýaryn; eger kimdir biri Meniň sesimi eşidip gapyny açsa, onuň ýanyna girerin, onuň bilen agşamlyk ederin, ol hem Men bilen.’ ‘Ine, häzir makbul wagt; ine, häzir gutulyş günüdür.’ Revelation 3:20; 2 Corinthians 6:2.”
“You who are resting your hope on self are building on the sand. But it is not yet too late to escape the impending ruin. Before the tempest breaks, flee to the sure foundation. ‘Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.’ ‘Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.’ ‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.’ ‘Ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.’ Isaiah 28:16, R.V.; 45:22; 41:10; 45:17.” Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, 150–152.
