We are putting in place the prophetic rule that was identified by the Lion of the tribe of Judah in His work of unsealing the last six verses of Daniel eleven, at the “time of the end,” in 1989, when the Soviet Union was swept away by an secret alliance between Ronald Reagan and the pope of Rome. We have shown that the triple applications of Rome and the fall of Babylon identify the woman and the beast she rides upon and reigns over in Revelation seventeen.
Biz 1989-yilda, “oxirzamon”da, Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobining so‘nggi olti oyatini muhrdan yechish ishida Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni tomonidan aniqlangan bashoratli qoidani o‘rnatmoqdamiz; o‘sha paytda Sovet Ittifoqi Ronald Reagan bilan Rim papasi o‘rtasidagi maxfiy ittifoq natijasida supurib tashlangan edi. Biz Rimning uch karra tatbiqlari hamda Bobilning qulashi Vahiy o‘n yettinchi bobda ayolni va u minib olgan hamda ustidan hukmronlik qilayotgan mahluqni aniqlashini ko‘rsatdik.
The portrayal of the woman and the beast in chapters seventeen and eighteen identify the progressive judgment which God brings upon Modern Babylon, beginning at the soon-coming Sunday law and lasting until Michael stands up and human probation closes. That period of time marks the first part of God’s Executive Judgment that is accomplished with a mixture of His mercy. Then with the seven last plagues, no mercy is mixed with His judgments. The two steps have been also inferred in the Investigative Judgment, which began on October 22, 1844. The investigative judgment began with the investigation and judgment of the dead, and on September 11, 2001, the investigative judgment of the living began.
O‘n yettinchi va o‘n sakkizinchi boblarda ayol va hayvonning tasviri Xudo Zamonaviy Bobil ustiga keltiradigan bosqichma-bosqich hukmni ko‘rsatadi; bu hukm tez orada joriy etiladigan yakshanba qonunidan boshlanib, Mixoil o‘rnidan turib, insoniy sinov muddati yakun topguncha davom etadi. Bu davr Xudoning Uning rahm-shafqati aralashgan holda amalga oshiriladigan Ijroiy Hukmining birinchi qismini belgilaydi. So‘ng esa, yetti oxirgi balo bilan, Uning hukmlariga hech qanday rahm-shafqat aralashmaydi. Bu ikki bosqich 1844-yil 22-oktabrda boshlangan Tergov Hukmida ham nazarda tutilgan. Tergov hukmi o‘liklarning tekshirilishi va hukm qilinishi bilan boshlangan, 2001-yil 11-sentabrda esa tiriklarning tergov hukmi boshlangan.
The judgment of the living is also divided into two periods, the first beginning on September 11, 2001, with the investigation and judgment of those that are candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for judgment begins with the house of God. The investigative judgment of the dead was only accomplished upon those whose names had, at some time in their life, been recorded in the book of life. The names of the dead that were written and registered were then compared with the book of sins. If they had unconfessed sins their names were removed from the book of life. The investigative judgment of the Living is qualified as beginning with the house of God, whereas there needed to be no qualification in the investigative judgment of the dead.
Tiriklarning hukmi ham ikki davrga bo‘linadi; birinchisi 2001-yil 11-sentyabrda, hukm Xudoning xonadonidan boshlanishi bois, yuz qirq to‘rt ming orasida bo‘lishga nomzod bo‘lganlarning tekshirilishi va hukmi bilan boshlandi. O‘liklarning tergov hukmi esa faqat hayotlarining biror paytida ismlari hayot kitobiga yozib qo‘yilgan kishilar ustida amalga oshirilgan edi. Yozilgan va qayd etilgan o‘liklarning ismlari so‘ng gunohlar kitobi bilan solishtirildi. Agar ularning iqror qilinmagan gunohlari bo‘lgan bo‘lsa, ularning ismlari hayot kitobidan o‘chirib tashlandi. Tiriklarning tergov hukmi Xudoning xonadonidan boshlanishi sifatida tavsiflanadi, holbuki o‘liklarning tergov hukmida bunday ta’kidga ehtiyoj yo‘q edi.
In the investigative judgment of the living, God’s Word was careful to identify that judgment during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began at Jerusalem, which is God’s church. The Bible provides a second direct witness to this fact.
Tiriklarning tergov hukmida Xudoning Kalomi, yuz qirq to‘rt mingning muhrlanish davrida o‘sha hukm Xudoning jamoati bo‘lgan Quddusda boshlanganini aniq ko‘rsatishga ehtiyot bo‘ldi. Muqaddas Kitob bu haqiqatga ikkinchi bevosita guvohlikni taqdim etadi.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17.
Chunki hukm Xudoning uyidan boshlanadigan vaqt keldi; agar u avval bizdan boshlansa, unda Xudoning xushxabariga itoat etmaydiganlarning oqibati nima bo‘ladi? 1 Butrus 4:17.
The judgment of the living begins at Jerusalem, the house of God, and there is a specific time when that judgment begins. The judgment of the living begins in Jerusalem when the writer’s inkhorn goes through Jerusalem and places a mark upon the men and women who sigh and cry for the abominations that are done in the church and also the land.
Tiriklarning hukmi Xudoning uyi bo‘lgan Quddusda boshlanadi, va bu hukm boshlanadigan muayyan bir vaqt bor. Tiriklarning hukmi Quddusda, yozuvchining siyohdonchasi Quddus bo‘ylab o‘tib, jamoat ichida, shuningdek yurtda qilinayotgan jirkanch ishlardan nola qilib faryod chekayotgan erkaklar va ayollarning peshonalariga belgi qo‘yganda boshlanadi.
The class that does not obey the gospel is identified in Revelation chapter seven in contrast with the one hundred and forty-four thousand, where John there identifies them as the great multitude. The great multitude represents a class of living souls that are judged during the period of the judgment of the living who have not fully obeyed God’s law, for they have been worshipping on the pope’s day of the sun. At the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States those who have been sealed by the angel with the writer’s inkhorn in Ezekiel chapter nine, which is also the sealing of Revelation chapter seven, are lifted up as an ensign. Then those who are currently not obeying the gospel will be held accountable to the seventh-day Sabbath.
Xushxabarga itoat qilmaydigan tabaqa Vahiy kitobining yettinchi bobida bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingga qarama-qarshi qo‘yilgan holda aniqlanadi; u yerda Yuhanno ularni ulkan olomon deb ataydi. Ulkan olomon tiriklarning hukmi davrida hukm qilinadigan tirik jonlar tabaqasini ifodalaydi; ular Xudoning qonuniga to‘liq itoat qilmaganlar, chunki ular papaning quyosh kuni deb ataladigan kunda sajda qilib kelganlar. Qo‘shma Shtatlarda tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni paytida Hizqiyo kitobining to‘qqizinchi bobidagi kotibning siyohdoniga ega bo‘lgan farishta tomonidan muhrlanganlar, bu ayni paytda Vahiy kitobining yettinchi bobidagi muhrlash hamdir, bir bayroq kabi ko‘tariladi. Shunda hozirda xushxabarga itoat qilmayotganlar yettinchi kun shanbasiga nisbatan javobgar tutiladilar.
“But Christians of past generations observed the Sunday, supposing that in so doing they were keeping the Bible Sabbath; and there are now true Christians in every church, not excepting the Roman Catholic communion, who honestly believe that Sunday is the Sabbath of divine appointment. God accepts their sincerity of purpose and their integrity before Him. But when Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God, to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. He is paying homage to Rome and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome. He is worshiping the beast and his image. As men then reject the institution which God has declared to be the sign of His authority, and honor in its stead that which Rome has chosen as the token of her supremacy, they will thereby accept the sign of allegiance to Rome—‘the mark of the beast.’ And it is not until the issue is thus plainly set before the people, and they are brought to choose between the commandments of God and the commandments of men, that those who continue in transgression will receive ‘the mark of the beast.’” The Great Controversy, 449.
“Ammo o‘tgan avlodlarning masihiylari yakshanbani tutganlar, buni qilish bilan ular Muqaddas Kitobdagi Shabbatni tutmoqdamiz, deb o‘ylaganlar; va hozir ham har bir jamoatda, Rim-katolik cherkovi ham bundan mustasno emas, ilohiy tayin etilgan Shabbat aynan yakshanba, deb samimiy ishonadigan haqiqiy masihiylar bor. Xudo ularning niyatdagi samimiyatini va Uning huzuridagi vijdon pokligini qabul qiladi. Ammo yakshanbaga rioya qilish qonun bilan majburiy etib belgilanganida, va dunyo haqiqiy Shabbatning majburiyati haqida yoritilganida, shunda kimki Xudoning amrini buzib, Rimnikidan ortiqroq hokimiyatga ega bo‘lmagan bir farmonga itoat etsa, shu bilan u popalikni Xudodan ustun qo‘ygan bo‘ladi. U Rimga va Rim tomonidan o‘rnatilgan muassasani majburan joriy etayotgan hokimiyatga sajda bajo keltirmoqda. U mahluqqa va uning suratiga sajda qilmoqda. O‘shanda odamlar Xudo O‘z hokimiyatining belgisi deb e’lon qilgan muassasani rad etib, uning o‘rniga Rim o‘z ustunligining nishonasi sifatida tanlagan narsani sharaflaganlarida, shu bilan ular Rimga sadoqat belgisini — ‘mahluqning tamg‘asi’ni — qabul qilgan bo‘ladilar. Va masala shu tariqa xalqqa ravshan qilib qo‘yilmaguncha hamda ular Xudoning amrlari bilan insonlarning amrlari o‘rtasida tanlov qilish holatiga keltirilmaguncha, gunohda davom etayotganlar ‘mahluqning tamg‘asi’ni qabul qilmaydilar.” Buyuk kurash, 449.
The ensign of those who are sealed are who calls those who obey not the gospel into obedience.
Muhrlanganlarning bayrog‘i Xushxabarga itoat etmaydiganlarni itoatga chorlaydigan zotdir.
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isaiah 11:10–12.
Va o‘sha kunda Yessayning ildizi paydo bo‘lur, u xalqlar uchun bayroq bo‘lib turur; unga g‘ayriyahudiylar intilurlar; va uning oromgohi ulug‘vor bo‘lur. Va o‘sha kunda shunday bo‘lurki, Egamiz O‘z xalqining qolgan qoldig‘ini qaytarib olish uchun ikkinchi marta qo‘lini cho‘zur; ular Ossuriyadan, Misrdan, Patrosdan, Kushdan, Elamdan, Shinordan, Xamotdan va dengiz orollaridan qolgan bo‘lurlar. Va U xalqlar uchun bayroq ko‘tarur, Isroilning quvg‘in qilinganlarini jam qilur va Yahudoning tarqalganlarini yerning to‘rt burchagidan bir joyga to‘plar. Ishayo 11:10–12.
Those who currently do not obey not the gospel are judged while they are living, but their judgment must follow the investigative judgment of the living one hundred and forty-four thousand, for they can only be warned by seeing men and women with the seal of God during the crisis of the soon coming Sunday law.
Hozirda xushxabarga itoat etmayotganlar tirik ekanlarida hukm qilinadilar, ammo ularning hukmi tirik bo‘lgan bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining tergov hukmidan keyin kelishi kerak, chunki ular faqat yaqin orada keladigan Yakshanba qonuni inqirozi davrida Xudoning muhri bilan muhrlangan erkaklar va ayollarni ko‘rish orqali ogohlantirilishlari mumkin.
“The work of the Holy Spirit is to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. The world can only be warned by seeing those who believe the truth sanctified through the truth, acting upon high and holy principles, showing in a high, elevated sense, the line of demarcation between those who keep the commandments of God, and those who trample them under their feet. The sanctification of the Spirit signalizes the difference between those who have the seal of God, and those who keep a spurious rest-day. When the test comes, it will be clearly shown what the mark of the beast is. It is the keeping of Sunday. Those who after having heard the truth, continue to regard this day as holy, bear the signature of the man of sin, who thought to change times and laws.” Bible Training School, December 1, 1903.
“Muqaddas Ruhning vazifasi dunyoni gunoh, solihlik va hukm to‘g‘risida ishontirishdir. Dunyo faqat haqiqatga ishonuvchilarning haqiqat orqali muqaddas qilinganini, yuksak va muqaddas tamoyillar asosida ish tutayotganini, Xudoning amrlarini tutadiganlar bilan ularni oyoq osti qiladiganlar o‘rtasidagi farq chizig‘ini yuksak, oliy ma’noda namoyon etayotganini ko‘rish orqali ogohlantirilishi mumkin. Ruhning muqaddas qilishi Xudoning muhriga ega bo‘lganlar bilan soxta dam olish kunini tutadiganlar o‘rtasidagi farqni ayon qiladi. Sinov kelganda, mahluqning tamg‘asi nima ekani aniq ko‘rsatiladi. Bu yakshanbani tutishdir. Haqiqatni eshitganlaridan keyin ham bu kunni muqaddas deb bilishda davom etadiganlar, zamonlar va qonunlarni o‘zgartirishni o‘ylagan gunoh odami imzosini olib yuradilar.” Bible Training School, December 1, 1903.
The executive judgment, which is where the work of the third Elijah is accomplished, begins at the soon-coming Sunday law. It is two periods of time; in the first period God’s judgments are mixed with mercy for those who do not now obey the gospel, and then it is followed by the seven last plagues that are poured out without mercy.
Uchinchi Ilyosning ishi amalga oshiriladigan ijro etuvchi hukm yaqinda kuchga kiradigan yakshanba qonuni bilan boshlanadi. U ikki davrdan iboratdir; birinchi davrda Xudoning hukmlari hozircha Xushxabarga itoat etmayotganlar uchun rahm-shafqat bilan aralash bo‘ladi, so‘ngra esa rahm-shafqatsiz to‘kiladigan yetti oxirgi balo bilan davom etadi.
“Probationary time will not continue much longer. Now God is withdrawing his restraining hand from the earth. Long has he been speaking to men and women through the agency of his Holy Spirit; but they have not heeded the call. Now he is speaking to his people, and to the world, by his judgments. The time of these judgments is a time of mercy for those who have not yet had opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; his hand is still stretched out to save. Large numbers will be admitted to the fold of safety who in these last days will hear the truth for the first time.” Review and Herald, November 22, 1906.
“Sinov muddati endi ko‘p uzoq davom etmaydi. Hozir Xudo O‘zining tiyib turuvchi qo‘lini yer yuzidan tortib olyapti. U uzoq vaqt davomida erkaklar va ayollarga O‘z Muqaddas Ruhi vositasi orqali gapirib keldi; ammo ular bu chaqiriqqa quloq solmadilar. Endi U O‘z xalqiga ham, dunyoga ham, O‘z hukmlari orqali gapirmoqda. Bu hukmlar vaqti, hali haqiqat nima ekanini bilish imkoniga ega bo‘lmaganlar uchun marhamat vaqtidir. Rabbiy ularga mehr bilan nazar soladi. Uning marhamatga to‘la yuragi ta’sirlanadi; Uning qo‘li hali ham qutqarish uchun uzatilgan. Ana shu oxirgi kunlarda haqiqatni birinchi marta eshitadigan ko‘p sonli kishilar omonlik podasiga qabul qilinadilar.” Review and Herald, 1906-yil 22-noyabr.
Those who obey not the gospel are the “other sheep,” Jesus promised to call, and they will hear His voice when He calls.
Xushxabarga itoat qilmaydiganlar Iso chaqirishga va’da bergan “boshqa qo‘ylar”dir, va U chaqirganida ular Uning ovozini eshitadilar.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:16.
Mening bu qo‘radan bo‘lmagan boshqa qo‘ylarim ham bor; ularni ham Men olib kelishim kerak, va ular Mening ovozimni eshitadilar; va bitta qo‘ra, bitta cho‘pon bo‘ladi. Yuhanno 10:16.
The “voice” they hear is the second “voice” of Revelation chapter eighteen, that cries loudly at the soon-coming Sunday law when the judgment of the great whore is doubled, for she has filled up her probationary cup of sin.
Ular eshitadigan “ovoz” Vahiy kitobining o‘n sakkizinchi bobidagi ikkinchi “ovoz”dir; u buyuk fohishaning hukmi ikki karra qilingan, chunki u sinov davridagi gunoh kosasini to‘ldirib bo‘lgan paytda, tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni chog‘ida baland ovoz bilan faryod qiladi.
“The prophet says, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils’ (Revelation 18:1, 2). This is the same message that was given by the second angel. Babylon is fallen, ‘because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication’ (Revelation 14:8). What is that wine?—Her false doctrines. She has given to the world a false sabbath instead of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and has repeated the falsehood that Satan first told Eve in Eden—the natural immortality of the soul. Many kindred errors she has spread far and wide, ‘teaching for doctrines the commandments of men’ (Matthew 15:9).
“Payg‘ambar shunday deydi: ‘Men osmondan tushib kelayotgan, buyuk qudratga ega bo‘lgan boshqa bir farishtani ko‘rdim; va yer uning ulug‘vorligidan yorishdi. U baland ovoz bilan qudrat ila nido qilib dedi: Buyuk Bobil quladi, quladi va jinlarning maskaniga aylandi’ (Vahiy 18:1, 2). Bu ikkinchi farishta tomonidan berilgan ayni xabardir. Bobil quladi, ‘chunki u barcha xalqlarga o‘z zinosi g‘azabining sharobidan ichirdi’ (Vahiy 14:8). Bu qanday sharob? — Uning soxta ta’limotlaridir. U dunyoga to‘rtinchi amrning Shabbati o‘rniga soxta shabbatni berdi va Shaytonning avval boshda Edenda Momo Havoga aytgan yolg‘onini — jonning tabiiy o‘lmasligi haqidagi yolg‘onni — takrorladi. U shunga o‘xshash ko‘plab xatolarni uzoq-uzoqlarga yoyib yubordi, ‘insonlarning amrlarini ta’limot deb o‘rgatib’ (Matto 15:9).”
“When Jesus began His public ministry, He cleansed the Temple from its sacrilegious profanation. Among the last acts of His ministry was the second cleansing of the Temple. So in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. The second angel’s message is, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication’ (Revelation 14:8). And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities’ (Revelation 18:4, 5).” Selected Messages, book 2, 118.
“Iso O‘zining ommaviy xizmatini boshlaganida, Ma’badni uning muqaddaslikka tajovuz qiluvchi tahqirlanishidan pokladi. Uning xizmatining so‘nggi ishlari orasida Ma’badning ikkinchi marta poklanishi ham bor edi. Shunday qilib, dunyoni ogohlantirish uchun olib boriladigan so‘nggi ishda jamoatlarga ikkita alohida da’vat qilinadi. Ikkinchi farishtaning xabari shudir: ‘Bobil qulagan, qulagan, o‘sha buyuk shahar; chunki u barcha xalqlarga o‘z zinokorligining g‘azab sharobidan ichirdi’ (Vahiy 14:8). Va uchinchi farishtaning xabarining baland nidosida osmondan shunday degan bir ovoz eshitiladi: ‘Undan chiqinglar, ey Mening xalqim, toki uning gunohlariga sherik bo‘lmanglar va uning balolaridan olmanglar. Chunki uning gunohlari osmonga yetib bordi, va Xudo uning nohaqliklarini esladi’ (Vahiy 18:4, 5).” Selected Messages, 2-kitob, 118.
At the soon coming Sunday law in the United States the progressive executive judgment upon Modern Babylon commences, and the last period of the judgment of the living begins as the two judgments overlap. The third messenger who prepares the way for the Messenger of the Covenant work represents the work during the time of the judgment of the living that began on September 11, 2001, and ends when the last of those who currently do not obey the gospel hear the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, and come out of Babylon. That work identifies the purification and purging of the temple of the one hundred and forty-four thousand at the beginning of the ministry of the messenger who prepares the way, and then a purging and purification of the temple of the great multitude at the ending of the ministry of the messenger who prepares the way for the Messenger of the Covenant.
Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni bilan Zamonaviy Bobil ustidan olib boriladigan bosqichma-bosqich ijro etuvchi hukm boshlanadi, va ikki hukm bir-birini qoplagan holda davom etar ekan, tiriklar hukmining oxirgi davri ham boshlanadi. Ahd Xabarchisining ishiga yo‘l tayyorlaydigan uchinchi xabarchi, 2001-yil 11-sentabrda boshlangan va hozirda xushxabarga itoat etmayotganlarning oxirgisi Vahiy kitobining o‘n sakkizinchi bobidagi ikkinchi ovozni eshitib, Bobildan chiqqunicha davom etadigan tiriklar hukmi davridagi ishni ifodalaydi. Bu ish yo‘l tayyorlaydigan xabarchining xizmatining boshida bir yuz qirq to‘rt minglik ma’badning poklanishi va tozalanishini, so‘ng esa Ahd Xabarchisi uchun yo‘l tayyorlaydigan xabarchining xizmatining oxirida buyuk olomon ma’badining tozalanishi va poklanishini belgilab beradi.
At the soon coming Sunday law the manifestation of the power of God that occurred at Pentecost is repeated.
Yaqinda keladigan yakshanba qonuni paytida Hosil bayramida yuz bergan Xudoning qudrati namoyoni yana takrorlanadi.
“Not one of us will ever receive the seal of God while our characters have one spot or stain upon them. It is left with us to remedy the defects in our characters, to cleanse the soul temple of every defilement. Then the latter rain will fall upon us as the early rain fell upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. . . .
“Xarakterimizda biror dogʻ yoki nuqson bor ekan, hech birimiz hech qachon Xudoning muhrini qabul qilmaymiz. Xarakterimizdagi kamchiliklarni tuzatish, qalb ma’badini har qanday nopoklikdan poklash bizning zimmamizdadir. Shunda Hosil bayrami kunida ilk jala shogirdlar ustiga yogʻilgani kabi, soʻnggi jala ham bizning ustimizga yogʻiladi....”
“What are you doing, brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing for the seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity.” Testimonies, volume 5, 214, 216.
“Ey birodarlar, tayyorgarlikning buyuk ishida nima qilmoqdasiz? Dunyo bilan birlashayotganlar dunyoviy qolipni qabul qilmoqdalar va hayvonning tamg‘asiga tayyorlanmoqdalar. O‘ziga ishonmaydiganlar, Xudo oldida o‘zlarini kamtar tutayotganlar va haqiqatga itoat etish orqali jonlarini poklayotganlar esa samoviy qolipni qabul qilmoqdalar va peshonalarida Xudoning muhriga tayyorlanmoqdalar. Farmon chiqqanda va tamg‘a bosilganda, ularning fe’l-atvori abadiyat davomida pok va dog‘siz bo‘lib qoladi.” Guvohliklar, 5-jild, 214, 216.
It is here that a seeming discrepancy in the prophetic Word might be stumbled over, though it is not necessary to do so. At Pentecost in the time of the disciples the message that was empowered was not carried to the Gentiles, which are those who do not obey the gospel at the soon-coming Sunday law. The message that was empowered at Pentecost was carried to ancient Israel, that for another three and a half years were still in their final probationary time.
Aynan shu yerda bashoratli Kalomdagi go‘yo bir nomuvofiqlikka qoqilinishi mumkin, garchi bunga zarurat bo‘lmasa-da. Shogirdlar davridagi Hosil bayramida quvvatlantirilgan xabar yakshanba qonuni tez orada kelganda Xushxabarga itoat etmaydiganlar bo‘lgan g‘ayriyahudiylarga yetkazilmadi. Hosil bayramida quvvatlantirilgan xabar qadimgi Isroilga yetkazildi; ular yana uch yarim yil davomida hamon o‘zlarining yakuniy sinov muddatida edilar.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Daniel 9:24.
Yetmish hafta sening xalqing va sening muqaddas shahring ustiga belgilab qo‘yilgandir: gunohni tamom qilish, gunohlarga barham berish, qabihlik uchun kafforat qilish, abadiy solihlikni olib kirish, vahiy va bashoratni muhrlash hamda eng Muqaddasni moylash uchun. Doniyor 9:24.
The message that was empowered at Pentecost would not be carried to those who obeyed not the gospel until Stephen was stoned in the year 34. Sister White often identifies this fact.
Hosil bayramida quvvat berilgan xabar milodiy 34-yilda Istefan toshbo‘ron qilinguniga qadar xushxabarga itoat etmaganlarga yetkazilmas edi. Opa Uayt bu haqiqatni tez-tez ta’kidlaydi.
“Then, said the angel, ‘He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [seven years].’ For seven years after the Saviour entered on His ministry, the gospel was to be preached especially to the Jews; for three and a half years by Christ Himself; and afterward by the apostles. ‘In the midst of the week He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.’ Daniel 9:27. In the spring of A. D. 31, Christ the true sacrifice was offered on Calvary. Then the veil of the temple was rent in twain, showing that the sacredness and significance of the sacrificial service had departed. The time had come for the earthly sacrifice and oblation to cease.
“Shunda farishta dedi: ‘U bir hafta [yetti yil] davomida ko‘plar bilan ahdni tasdiqlaydi.’ Najotkor O‘z xizmatini boshlaganidan keyin yetti yil davomida xushxabar, ayniqsa, yahudiylarga va’z qilinishi kerak edi; uch yarim yil davomida Masihning O‘zi tomonidan, undan keyin esa havoriylar tomonidan. ‘Haftaning o‘rtasida U qurbonlik va hadyani to‘xtatadi.’ Doniyor 9:27. Milodiy 31-yilning bahorida Masih, haqiqiy Qurbonlik, Qalvariyada taqdim etildi. Shunda Ma’badning pardasi ikkiga yirtilib ketdi, bu esa qurbonlik xizmatining muqaddasligi va ma’nosi barham topganini ko‘rsatdi. Yer yuzidagi qurbonlik va hadyaning to‘xtashi uchun vaqt kelgan edi.”
“The one week—seven years—ended in A. D. 34. Then by the stoning of Stephen the Jews finally sealed their rejection of the gospel; the disciples who were scattered abroad by persecution ‘went everywhere preaching the word’ (Acts 8:4); and shortly after, Saul the persecutor was converted, and became Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles.” The Desire of Ages, 233.
“Bir hafta — yetti yil — milodiy 34-yilda tugadi. Shundan so‘ng, Istefonning toshbo‘ron qilinishi orqali yahudiylar xushxabarga bo‘lgan rad etishlarini nihoyat muhrladilar; ta’qib tufayli tarqalib ketgan shogirdlar esa ‘hamma yoqqa borib, kalomni va’z qilib yurdilar’ (Havoriylar 8:4); va ko‘p o‘tmay, ta’qibchi Shoul imonga keldi hamda G‘ayriyahudiylarga yuborilgan havoriy Pavlus bo‘ldi.” Asrlar Orzusi, 233.
The message which was empowered at Pentecost, fifty days after Christ’s resurrection, aligns with the Sunday law where the gospel calls Christ’s other flock out of Babylon, yet it was not for three and a half years after the cross that the Jews “sealed their rejection of the gospel,” and the message then went to the Gentiles, who are those who then did not obey the gospel. The seeming contradiction is magnified by the identification that in 34 AD the Jews sealed their rejection of the gospel, for Sister White says otherwise.
Masihning tirilishidan ellik kun o‘tib, Pentikostda quvvatlangan xabar, Injil Masihning boshqa qo‘ylarini Bobildan tashqariga chaqiradigan Yakshanba qonuni bilan uyg‘unlashadi; biroq xochdan keyin uch yarim yil o‘tmaguncha yahudiylar “Injilni rad etishlarini muhrlamadilar”, va shundan keyin xabar g‘ayriyahudiylarga bordi; ular esa o‘sha paytda Injilga itoat etmaganlar edi. Go‘yo ko‘rinadigan bu ziddiyat, milodiy 34-yilda yahudiylar Injilni rad etishlarini muhrladilar, degan ta’rif bilan yanada kuchayadi, chunki Opa Uayt buning aksini aytadi.
“Since the whole ritual economy was symbolical of Christ, it had no value apart from Him. When the Jews sealed their rejection of Christ by delivering Him to death, they rejected all that gave significance to the temple and its services. Its sacredness had departed. It was doomed to destruction. From that day sacrificial offerings and the service connected with them were meaningless. Like the offering of Cain, they did not express faith in the Saviour. In putting Christ to death, the Jews virtually destroyed their temple. When Christ was crucified, the inner veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom, signifying that the great final sacrifice had been made, and that the system of sacrificial offerings was forever at an end.” The Desire of Ages, 165.
“Butun marosimiy tuzum Masihning ramzi bo‘lganligi sababli, U holda undan ayri hech qanday qimmatga ega emas edi. Yahudiylar Masihni o‘limga topshirib, Uni rad etishlarini muhrlaganlarida, ular ma’badga va uning xizmatlariga ma’no berib turgan barcha narsani rad etdilar. Uning muqaddasligi ketgan edi. U vayron qilinishga mahkum bo‘ldi. O‘sha kundan boshlab qurbonlik nazrlari va ularga bog‘liq xizmat ma’nosiz bo‘lib qoldi. Qobilning nazridek, ular Najotkorga bo‘lgan imonni ifoda etmas edi. Yahudiylar Masihni o‘limga topshirish bilan, amalda o‘z ma’badlarini vayron qildilar. Masih xochga mixlanganida, ma’badning ichki pardasi yuqoridan pastgacha ikki bo‘lib yirtilib ketdi; bu buyuk, yakuniy Qurbonlik keltirilganini va qurbonlik nazrlari tizimi abadulabad nihoyasiga yetganini bildirar edi.” The Desire of Ages, 165.
Did the Jews seal their rejection of the gospel at the stoning of Stephen or the cross of Christ? This seeming contradiction is associated with the seeming contradiction of identifying the manifestation of the power of God at Pentecost to the soon-coming Sunday law.
Yahudiylar xushxabarga bo‘lgan rad etishlarini Istefanning toshbo‘ron qilinishida muhrladilarmi yoki Masihning xochida? Bu go‘yo ziddiyat Pentikostda namoyon bo‘lgan Xudoning qudratini tez orada keladigan Yakshanba qonuni bilan bog‘lab ko‘rsatishdagi go‘yo ziddiyat bilan uzviy bog‘liqdir.
We intend to sort the seeming contradiction out in the next article, but I wish to remind us that the purpose of this particular consideration is based upon the fact that is identified by the prophets that God’s Laodicean people in the last days do not understand the judgment. We have taken time to review the various periods and purposes of the judgment in order to be clear about how the investigative and executive judgments both meet at the soon-coming Sunday law. In order to see the revelation associated with the seeming contradictions we have just raised these elements needed to be reviewed.
Biz bu go‘yoki ziddiyatga keyingi maqolada aniqlik kiritmoqchimiz, biroq shuni eslatib o‘tmoqchimanki, ushbu muayyan mulohazaning maqsadi payg‘ambarlar tomonidan ko‘rsatib berilgan quyidagi haqiqatga asoslanadi: oxirgi kunlardagi Xudoning Laodikiya xalqi hukmni tushunmaydi. Tergov hukmi va ijro hukmi tez orada keladigan Yakshanba qonunida qanday qilib bir nuqtada tutashishini ravshan anglashimiz uchun, hukmning turli davrlari va maqsadlarini ko‘rib chiqishga vaqt ajratdik. Hozirgina ko‘targan go‘yoki ziddiyatlar bilan bog‘liq vahiyotni ko‘ra bilish uchun, bu unsurlar ko‘rib chiqilishi zarur edi.
We will continue this study in the next article.
Biz bu tadqiqotni keyingi maqolada davom ettiramiz.
“Roman Catholics acknowledge that the change in the Sabbath was made by their church, and they cite this very change as evidence of the supreme authority of the church. They declare that by observing the first day of the week as the Sabbath, Protestants are recognizing her power to legislate in divine things. The Roman church has not relinquished her claim to infallibility; and when the world and the Protestant churches accept a spurious Sabbath of her creating, while they reject the Sabbath of Jehovah, they virtually acknowledge this claim. They may cite the authority for this change, but the fallacy of their reasoning is easily discerned. The papist is sharp enough to see that Protestants are deceiving themselves, willingly closing their eyes to the facts in the case. As the Sunday institution gains favor, he rejoices, feeling assured that it will eventually bring the whole Protestant world under the banner of Rome.
“Rim-katoliklar Shanbaning o‘zgartirilishi ularning cherkovi tomonidan amalga oshirilganini tan oladilar va aynan shu o‘zgarishni cherkovning oliy hokimiyatiga dalil sifatida keltiradilar. Ular haftaning birinchi kunini Shanba sifatida tutish orqali protestantlar ilohiy narsalar borasida qonun chiqarish qudratini unga tegishli deb tan olayotganini e’lon qiladilar. Rim cherkovi o‘zining xatosizlik haqidagi da’vosidan voz kechmagan; va dunyo hamda protestant cherkovlari Yahovaning Shanbasini rad etib, u yaratgan soxta shanbani qabul qilganlarida, ular amalda ayni shu da’voni tan oladilar. Ular bu o‘zgarish uchun vakolatni dalil qilib keltirishlari mumkin, biroq ularning mulohazasidagi xatolikni osonlik bilan ko‘rish mumkin. Papachi protestantlar o‘zlarini o‘zlari aldayotganini, bu ishdagi haqiqatlarga ko‘zlarini ataylab yumayotganini ko‘radigan darajada ziyrakdir. Yakshanba muassasasi tobora ko‘proq e’tibor topib borgani sayin, u shodlanadi, chunki bu oxir-oqibat butun protestant dunyosini Rim bayrog‘i ostiga olib kelishiga ishonchi komildir.”
“The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Roman church. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false Sabbath in the place of the true, are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. The mark of the beast is the papal Sabbath, which has been accepted by the world in the place of the day of God’s appointment.
“Shanbaning o‘zgartirilishi Rim cherkovining hokimiyatining belgisi yoki nishonasidir. To‘rtinchi amrning da’volarini anglagan holda, haqiqiy Shanba o‘rniga soxta shanbani tutishni tanlaydiganlar, shu tariqa uni buyurayotgan yagona hokimiyatga hurmat bajo keltirmoqdalar. Hayvonning belgisi — Xudo belgilagan kun o‘rniga dunyo tomonidan qabul qilingan papalik shanbasidir.
“But the time to receive the mark of the beast, as designated in prophecy, has not yet come. The testing time has not yet come. There are true Christians in every church, not excepting the Roman Catholic communion. None are condemned until they have had the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment. But when the decree shall go forth enforcing the counterfeit Sabbath, and when the loud cry of the third angel shall warn men against the worship of the beast and his image, the line will be clearly drawn between the false and the true. Then those who still continue in transgression will receive the mark of the beast in their foreheads or in their hands.
“Ammo bashoratda belgilanganidek, hayvonning tamg‘asini qabul qilish vaqti hali kelgani yo‘q. Sinov vaqti hali kelgani yo‘q. Har bir jamoatda, Rim-katolik cherkovi ham bundan mustasno bo‘lmagan holda, chin masihiylar bor. Hech kim nurga ega bo‘lmaguncha va to‘rtinchi amrning majburiyligini anglamaguncha mahkum etilmaydi. Ammo soxta shanbani majburiy etuvchi farmon chiqqanida, va uchinchi farishtaning baland faryodi odamlarni hayvonga va uning tasviriga sajda qilishdan ogohlantirganida, soxta bilan haqiqiy o‘rtasidagi chegara ravshan chiziladi. Shunda hamon gunohda davom etayotganlar hayvonning tamg‘asini peshonalarida yoki qo‘llarida qabul qiladilar.”
“With rapid steps we are approaching this period. When Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution, then will the papal Sabbath be enforced by the combined authority of church and state. There will be a national apostasy, which will end only in national ruin.” Bible Training School, February 2, 1913.
“Biz bu davrga tez sur’atlar bilan yaqinlashmoqdamiz. Protestant jamoatlari soxta dinni qo‘llab-quvvatlash uchun dunyoviy hokimiyat bilan birlashganlarida, o‘sha soxta dinga qarshi turganliklari uchun ularning ajdodlari eng shafqatsiz ta’qiblarga duchor bo‘lgan edilar, ana o‘shanda papalik shanbasi cherkov va davlatning birlashgan hokimiyati bilan majburan joriy etiladi. Milliy murtadlik yuz beradi, va u faqat milliy halokat bilan yakun topadi.” Bible Training School, 1913-yil 2-fevral.
