We are beginning our consideration of Daniel’s last vision by applying the principle represented by Alpha and Omega, that identifies that He always identifies the ending with the beginning. Therefore Belteshazzar, who is Daniel in the very first verse of Daniel’s last vision would also be represented in the last portion of that very same vision. We have identified that Belteshazzar represents God’s covenant people of the last days, who understand the “chazon,” vision of prophetic history, as represented by the word “thing,” in verse one. That vision of prophetic history is the “seven times,” of Leviticus twenty-six that equates to twenty-five hundred and twenty years. Belteshazzar also understands the “vision” in verse one, which is the “mareh” vision of twenty-three hundred years, which represents the sudden appearance of Christ.

Biz Danielning oxirgi vahiysini ko‘rib chiqishni Alfa va Omega orqali ifodalangan tamoyilni qo‘llashdan boshlayapmiz; bu tamoyil U har doim oxirni boshlanish bilan aynanlashtirishini ko‘rsatadi. Shuning uchun Danielning oxirgi vahiysining eng birinchi oyatida tilga olingan Daniel bo‘lmish Belteshassar ayni o‘sha vahiyning oxirgi qismida ham ifodalangan bo‘lar edi. Biz Belteshassar so‘nggi kunlardagi Xudoning ahd xalqini ifodalashini aniqladik; ular birinchi oyatdagi “narsa” so‘zi bilan ifodalangan bashoratli tarixning “chazon”ini, ya’ni vahiyini tushunadilar. Bashoratli tarixning o‘sha vahiysi Levilar yigirma oltidagi “yetti zamon” bo‘lib, u ikki ming besh yuz yigirma yilga tengdir. Belteshassar, shuningdek, birinchi oyatdagi “vision”ni ham tushunadi; bu yigirma uch yuz yillik “mareh” vahiyidir va u Masihning to‘satdan namoyon bo‘lishini ifodalaydi.

In chapter twelve, Daniel represents the movement of the first angel and also the movement of the third angel, for both movements fulfill the parable of the ten virgins. In chapter twelve there are at least five truths that were part of the Millerite movement, that represent truths which the movement of the third angel must also experience and understand. Both movements fulfill the parable of the ten virgins, and the wise virgins of both movements are required to understand that prophetic fact. Both movements must understand the first prophetic truth Miller was led to recognize, as represented by Leviticus twenty-six’s “seven times.” The other three parallel experiences and understandings are found in the last few verses of the chapter.

O‘n ikkinchi bobda Doniyor birinchi farishtaning harakatini, shuningdek uchinchi farishtaning harakatini ham ifodalaydi, chunki har ikkala harakat o‘n bokira haqidagi masalni bajo keltiradi. O‘n ikkinchi bobda kamida beshta haqiqat mavjud bo‘lib, ular Millerchilar harakatining bir qismi bo‘lgan va uchinchi farishtaning harakati ham boshdan kechirishi hamda anglab yetishi lozim bo‘lgan haqiqatlarni ifodalaydi. Har ikkala harakat ham o‘n bokira haqidagi masalni bajo keltiradi, va har ikkala harakatning dono bokiralari bu bashoratli haqiqatni tushunishlari talab etiladi. Har ikkala harakat ham Miller tan olishga yetaklangan birinchi bashoratli haqiqatni — Levilar yigirma oltinchi bobdagi “yetti vaqt” bilan ifodalangan haqiqatni — tushunishi kerak. Qolgan uchta parallel tajriba va anglash bobning so‘nggi bir necha oyatlarida topiladi.

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Daniel 12:11–13.

Kundalik qurbonlik olib tashlanadigan va vayron qiluvchi jirkanchlik o‘rnatiladigan vaqtdan boshlab ming ikki yuz to‘qson kun bo‘lur. Kutib turib, ming uch yuz o‘ttiz besh kunga yetib kelgan kishi baxtlidir. Ammo sen oxirigacha o‘z yo‘lingdan bor; chunki sen orom topursan va kunlarning oxirida o‘z nasibangda turursan. Doniyor 12:11–13.

The remnant people of God in the book of Revelation possess three primary prophetic characteristics. They keep God’s commandments, have the faith of Jesus and uphold the Spirit of Prophecy.

Vahiy kitobidagi Xudoning qoldiq xalqi uchta asosiy bashoratiy xususiyatga egadir. Ular Xudoning amrlarini saqlaydilar, Isoning imoniga egadirlar va Bashorat Ruhini mahkam tutadilar.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:9, 10.

U menga dedi: “Yozgin: Qo‘zining nikoh ziyofatiga da’vat etilganlar baxtlidirlar”. Yana u menga dedi: “Bular Xudoning haqiqiy so‘zlaridir”. Men unga sajda qilmoq uchun uning oyoqlari ostiga yiqildim. Lekin u menga dedi: “Bunday qilma; men sening ham, Isoga shahodatga ega bo‘lgan birodarlaringning hammasi kabi bir hamxizmatkorman; Xudoga sajda qil; chunki Isoning shahodati — bashorat ruhidir”. Vahiy 19:9, 10.

The Millerites correctly understood that “the daily,” in the book of Daniel represented paganism, and that the “time that the daily” was “taken away,” was the year 508. To reject that truth is to reject the authority of “the testimony of Jesus,” which “is the Spirit of Prophecy,” for the Spirit of Prophecy clearly identifies that the Millerites were correct in their understanding of “the daily.”

Millerchilar to‘g‘ri tushungan edilarki, Doniyor kitobidagi “kundalik” butparastlikni ifodalaydi va “kundalik”ning “olib tashlangan” “vaqti” 508-yil bo‘lgan. Bu haqiqatni rad etish — “Isohning guvohligi”ning hokimiyatini rad etishdir; u esa “Payg‘ambarlik Ruhidir”, chunki Payg‘ambarlik Ruhi Millerchilarning “kundalik” haqidagi tushunchasi to‘g‘ri bo‘lganini ravshan ko‘rsatadi.

“Then I saw in relation to the ‘Daily,’ that the word ‘sacrifice’ was supplied by man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text; and that the Lord gave the correct view of it to those who gave the judgment hour cry. When union existed, before 1844, nearly all were united on the correct view of the ‘Daily;’ but since 1844, in the confusion, other views have been embraced, and darkness and confusion has followed.” Review and Herald, November 1, 1850.

“Shundan so‘ng men «Kundalik» masalasiga oid shuni ko‘rdimki, «qurbonlik» so‘zi inson donoligi tomonidan qo‘shib qo‘yilgan bo‘lib, matnga tegishli emas; va hukm soati xabarini e’lon qilganlarga Rabbiy bu haqdagi to‘g‘ri qarashni bergan. 1844-yildan oldin, birlik mavjud bo‘lgan paytda, deyarli barchasi «Kundalik»ning to‘g‘ri talqini borasida birlashgan edi; biroq 1844-yildan beri, chalkashlik ichida, boshqa qarashlar qabul qilindi, va buning ortidan zulmat hamda chalkashlik ergashdi.” Review and Herald, November 1, 1850.

The Millerites understood that the resistance of paganism against the rise of the papacy to power in 538, was removed in the year 508. The Millerites were correct, but their understanding was limited. God’s last day people, who are represented by Belteshazzar in verse one, will see that from the year 508 to 538 represents a prophetic period that was typified by the thirty years of preparation in the history of Christ that preceded His empowerment at His baptism. They will see that the prophetic period also represents the prophetic period from 1776 unto 1798, and that all three of those periods represent the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand that began on September 11, 2001, and concludes at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Millerchilar 538-yilda papalikning hokimiyatga ko‘tarilishiga qarshi butparastlikning qarshiligi 508-yilda olib tashlanganini tushungan edilar. Millerchilar haq edilar, biroq ularning tushunchasi cheklangan edi. Birinchi oyatda Beltashazar orqali ifodalangan Xudoning oxirgi kunlardagi xalqi, 508-yildan 538-yilgacha bo‘lgan davr Masihning suvga cho‘mishida quvvat bilan ta’minlanishidan oldin kelgan, Uning tarixidagi o‘ttiz yillik tayyorgarlik orqali timsollangan bashoratli davrni ifodalashini ko‘radi. Ular bu bashoratli davr, shuningdek, 1776-yildan 1798-yilgacha bo‘lgan bashoratli davrni ham ifodalashini, va bu uchala davrning barchasi 2001-yil 11-sentabrda boshlangan hamda tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni bilan yakunlanadigan bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning muhrlanish vaqtini ifodalashini ko‘radilar.

In chapter twelve, Daniel represents the Millerites and the five important truths and experiences that are to be repeated in those represented by Belteshazzar. The third truth and experience of the Millerites is “the correct view of the ‘daily,’ … the Lord gave … to those who gave the judgment hour cry.” To reject that truth is to reject the writings of Ellen White, which is the Spirit of Prophecy. The fourth truth and experience of the Millerites, and the messengers of the third angel, is the prophecy of the thirteen hundred and thirty-five years, which began in the year “the daily,” was taken away, in 508.

O‘n ikkinchi bobda Doniyor millerchilarni hamda Beltshassar timsolida ifodalanganlarda takrorlanishi lozim bo‘lgan beshta muhim haqiqat va tajribani ifodalaydi. Millerchilarning uchinchi haqiqat va tajribasi — “ ‘kundalik’ haqidagi to‘g‘ri qarash bo‘lib, … Rabbiy uni … hukm soati hayqirig‘ini e’lon qilganlarga berdi.” O‘sha haqiqatni rad etish — Bashorat Ruhi bo‘lgan Ellen Uaytning yozuvlarini rad etishdir. Millerchilarning hamda uchinchi farishta xabarchilarining to‘rtinchi haqiqat va tajribasi — 1335 yillik bashorat bo‘lib, u “kundalik” olib tashlangan 508-yilda boshlangan.

Beginning in 508, thirteen hundred and thirty-five years takes you to 1843, but not simply 1843, for the prophecy actually pinpoints the very last day of 1843, for it states, “Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” The Hebrew word translated as “cometh,” is “naga,” and it means “to touch”, or “lay hands on”. The prophecy therefore means, “blessed is he that waiteth, and” touches or lays hands upon 1843.

508-yildan boshlab, ming uch yuz o‘ttiz besh yil sizni 1843-yilga olib boradi, ammo shunchaki 1843-yilga emas, chunki bashorat aslida 1843-yilning aynan eng so‘nggi kunini ko‘rsatadi; zero unda shunday deyilgan: “Kutib turgan va ming uch yuz o‘ttiz besh kunga yetib kelgan kishi baxtlidir.” “Yetib kelgan” deb tarjima qilingan ibroniycha so‘z “naga” bo‘lib, u “teginmoq” yoki “qo‘l tekkizmoq” degan ma’noni anglatadi. Shunday ekan, bashoratning ma’nosi shudir: “Kutib turgan va” 1843-yilga tegadigan yoki unga qo‘l tekkizadigan kishi baxtlidir.

The blessing of waiting in Millerite history was for those wise virgins who experienced the first disappointment, but waited for the vision that tarried. As the Millerites waited for the “vision that tarried” in fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, and Habakkuk chapter two, they were blessed. In that tarrying time they then saw they were fulfilling the parable, and that at the end the vision would “speak”. Their tarrying time and disappointment was based upon the incorrect identification that the twenty-three hundred years would terminate in 1843, but the vision was really for 1844. Their disappointment was based upon their experience that had been produced when the year 1843, ended with no return of Christ. Their disappointment, and the blessing pronounced upon those who thereafter chose to wait, was all based upon the very last day of the year 1843, which “touches” or “cometh to” 1844.

Millerchilar tarixidagi kutishning barakasi birinchi umidsizlikni boshdan kechirgan, biroq kechikkan vahiy uchun kutgan o‘sha dono bokiralarga tegishli edi. Millerchilar o‘n bokira haqidagi masalning hamda Xabaqquq kitobining ikkinchi bobining amalga oshishida “kechikkan vahiy”ni kutganlarida, ular barakalandilar. O‘sha kechikish davrida ular o‘zlari shu masalni ado etayotganlarini ko‘rdilar va oxirida vahiy “so‘zlashini” angladilar. Ularning kechikish davri va umidsizligi ikki ming uch yuz yil 1843-yilda yakun topadi, degan noto‘g‘ri aniqlashga asoslangan edi, holbuki vahiy aslida 1844-yil uchun edi. Ularning umidsizligi 1843-yil Masihning qaytishisiz yakunlanganida yuzaga kelgan tajribalariga asoslangan edi. Ularning umidsizligi va shundan keyin kutishni tanlaganlarga e’lon qilingan baraka barchasi 1843-yilning eng so‘nggi kuniga asoslangan bo‘lib, u 1844-yilga “tegadi” yoki “yetib keladi”.

The experience of the first disappointment, as a fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, is understood and repeated in those represented by Belteshazzar. The fifth truth and experience that will be recognized by those represented by Belteshazzar is that at “the end of the days”, Daniel would “stand in his lot”.

O‘n qiz haqidagi masalning bajo bo‘lishi sifatida birinchi hafsalasi pir bo‘lish tajribasi Belteshazzar tomonidan ifodalanganlarda tushuniladi va takrorlanadi. Belteshazzar tomonidan ifodalanganlar tomonidan tan olinadigan beshinchi haqiqat va tajriba shundan iboratki, “kunlarning oxirida” Doniyor “o‘z qismatida turadi”.

“Daniel has been standing in his lot since the seal was removed and the light of truth has been shining upon his visions. He stands in his lot, bearing the testimony which was to be understood at the end of the days.” Sermons and Talks, volume 1, 225, 226.

“Muhr olib tashlanganidan va haqiqat nuri uning vahiylari ustiga porlay boshlaganidan beri Doniyor o‘z qismatida turibdi. U o‘z qismatida turib, kunlarning oxirida tushunilishi lozim bo‘lgan shahodatni olib yuribdi.” Sermons and Talks, 1-jild, 225, 226.

The Millerites experienced the purification process accomplished by the increase of knowledge that came from the book of Daniel when it was unsealed in 1798. Those represented by Belteshazzar will experience the purification process accomplished by the increase of knowledge that came from the book of Daniel when it was unsealed in 1989. They will also understand that the book of Daniel has a special purpose in the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Millerchilar 1798-yilda Doniyor kitobi muhrdan yechilganda undan kelgan bilimning ortishi orqali amalga oshgan poklanish jarayonini boshdan kechirdilar. Belteshazzar tomonidan ifodalanganlar esa 1989-yilda Doniyor kitobi muhrdan yechilganda undan kelgan bilimning ortishi orqali amalga oshgan poklanish jarayonini boshdan kechiradilar. Ular, shuningdek, Doniyor kitobi yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining muhrlanishida alohida bir maqsadga ega ekanini ham tushunadilar.

“When God gives a man a special work to do, he is to stand in his lot and place as did Daniel, ready to answer the call of God, ready to fulfill His purpose.” Manuscript Releases, volume 6, 108.

“Xudo bir kishiga bajarish uchun alohida bir ish berganida, u Doniyor kabi o‘z ulushi va o‘rnida turishi, Xudoning da’vatiga javob berishga, Uning maqsadini ado etishga tayyor bo‘lishi kerak.” Manuscript Releases, 6-jild, 108.

As former Laodiceans, those represented by Belteshazzar will recognize that it is through the books of Daniel and Revelation, which are the same book, that the final revival is accomplished.

Sobiq Laodikeyaliklar sifatida, Belteshazzar timsolida ifodalanganlar so‘nggi uyg‘onish aynan bir kitob bo‘lgan Doniyor va Vahiy kitoblari orqali amalga oshirilishini anglaydilar.

“When the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood, believers will have an entirely different religious experience. . . One thing will certainly be understood from the study of Revelation—that the connection between God and His people is close and decided.” The Faith I Live By, 345.

“Doniyor va Vahiy kitoblari yaxshiroq tushunilganda, imonlilar mutlaqo boshqacha diniy tajribaga ega bo‘ladilar... Vahiyni o‘rganishdan bir narsa, albatta, anglab yetiladi — Xudo bilan Uning xalqi o‘rtasidagi aloqa yaqin va qat’iydir.” The Faith I Live By, 345.

As former Laodiceans, they will have recognized their Laodicean condition, and recognized that they were spiritually as dead as a valley of dry bones, and in response to the straight testimony concerning their dead and lost condition they will recognize their need to be alive as the first priority.

Sobiq Laodikeyaliklar sifatida, ular o‘zlarining Laodikeyalik holatini anglagan bo‘ladilar va ruhiy jihatdan quruq suyaklar vodiysidek o‘lik ekanliklarini tan olgan bo‘ladilar; hamda o‘zlarining o‘lik va halok bo‘lgan holatlari haqidagi to‘g‘ri guvohlikka javoban, ular eng birinchi ustuvor vazifa sifatida tirik bo‘lish zarurligini anglaydilar.

“A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of all our needs. To seek this should be our first work.” Selected Messages, book 1, 121.

“O‘rtamizda haqiqiy taqvodorlikning qayta jonlanishi barcha ehtiyojlarimiz ichida eng buyugi va eng shoshilinchidir. Buni izlash bizning birinchi vazifamiz bo‘lishi kerak.” Selected Messages, 1-kitob, 121.

The Bible promise is that whoever seeks, will find, and the Holy Spirit will then lead them to understand that it is the books of Daniel and Revelation that produces the necessary revival.

Muqaddas Kitobning va’dasi shuki, kim izlasa, topadi, va shunda Muqaddas Ruh ularni zarur uyg‘onishni aynan Doniyor va Vahiy kitoblari yuzaga keltirishini anglashga yetaklaydi.

“When we as a people understand what this book means to us, there will be seen among us a great revival.” Testimonies to Ministers, 113.

“Biz xalq sifatida bu kitob biz uchun nimani anglatishini tushungan vaqtimizda, oramizda buyuk bir jonlanish namoyon bo‘ladi.” Testimonies to Ministers, 113.

The end of Daniel’s last vision, as represented in chapter twelve, identifies the experience that produces God’s last day covenant people, as represented by Belteshazzar, in the first verse, of the last vision. There Daniel, represented as Belteshazzar, understands both the internal vision of the twenty-three hundred years and the external vision of the twenty-five hundred and twenty years. He understands the “thing,” and “the vision.” He understands the chazon vision and the mareh vision. He understands the trampling down of the sanctuary and host, and the restoration of the sanctuary and host. He understands both the Ulai and Hiddekel River visions.

Doniyolning oxirgi vahiysining, o‘n ikkinchi bobda ifodalangan yakuni, oxirgi vahiyning birinchi oyatida Beltashassar timsolida ko‘rsatilganidek, Xudoning oxirgi kunlardagi ahd xalqini yuzaga keltiradigan tajribani aniqlab beradi. U yerda Doniyol, Beltashassar timsolida ko‘rsatilgan holda, ham ikki ming uch yuz yilga oid ichki vahiyni, ham ikki ming besh yuz yigirma yilga oid tashqi vahiyni anglaydi. U “narsa”ni ham, “vahiy”ni ham anglaydi. U chazon vahiysini ham, mareh vahiysini ham anglaydi. U muqaddas maskan va lashkarning oyoq osti qilinishini ham, muqaddas maskan va lashkarning qayta tiklanishini ham anglaydi. U Ulai va Hiddekel daryolari vahiylarini ham anglaydi.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Biz bu tadqiqotni keyingi maqolada davom ettiramiz.

“There is need of a much closer study of the word of God; especially should Daniel and the Revelation have attention as never before in the history of our work. We may have less to say in some lines, in regard to the Roman power and the papacy; but we should call attention to what the prophets and apostles have written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit has so shaped matters, both in the giving of the prophecy and in the events portrayed, as to teach that the human agent is to be kept out of sight, hid in Christ, and that the Lord God of heaven and His law are to be exalted. Read the book of Daniel. Call up, point by point, the history of the kingdoms there represented. Behold statesmen, councils, powerful armies, and see how God wrought to abase the pride of men, and lay human glory in the dust….

“Xudoning Kalomini ancha yaqinroq o‘rganishga ehtiyoj bor; ayniqsa, Doniyor va Vahiy kitoblariga ishimiz tarixida ilgari hech qachon bo‘lmagan darajada e’tibor qaratilishi kerak. Ba’zi masalalarda, Rim hokimiyati va papalik haqida aytadigan gaplarimiz kamroq bo‘lishi mumkin; ammo biz Muqaddas Xudoning Ruhining ilhomi ostida payg‘ambarlar va havoriylar yozib qoldirgan narsalarga e’tiborni qaratmog‘imiz lozim. Muqaddas Ruh masalalarni shunday tartibga solganki, ham bashorat berilishida, ham tasvirlangan voqealarda, insoniy vosita ko‘zdan nari tutilsin, Masihda yashirinsin, osmonlarning Rabbiy Xudosi va Uning Qonuni esa ulug‘lansin, degan saboq beriladi. Doniyor kitobini o‘qing. U yerda tasvirlangan shohliklar tarixini nuqta-ba-nuqta yodga oling. Davlat arboblarini, kengashlarni, qudratli qo‘shinlarni ko‘ring va Xudo inson mag‘rurligini qanday xor qilganini hamda insoniy ulug‘vorlikni tuproqqa qanday qorish qilganini anglang….”

“The light that Daniel received from God was given especially for these last days. The visions he saw by the banks of the Ulai and the Hiddekel, the great rivers of Shinar, are now in process of fulfillment, and all the events foretold will soon come to pass.

“Xudodan Doniyorga berilgan nur ayniqsa mana shu oxirgi kunlar uchun berilgan edi. U Ulai va Xiddekel bo‘ylarida, Shinarning ulug‘ daryolari yonida ko‘rgan vahiylar hozir bajo bo‘lish jarayonidadir, va bashorat qilingan barcha voqealar tez orada ro‘y beradi.

“Consider the circumstances of the Jewish nation when the prophecies of Daniel were given.

“Daniyelning bashoratlari berilgan paytda yahudiy xalqining ahvolini ko‘rib chiqing.

“Let us give more time to the study of the Bible. We do not understand the word as we should. The book of Revelation opens with an injunction to us to understand the instruction that it contains. ‘Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy,’ God declares, ‘and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.’ When we as a people understand what this book means to us, there will be seen among us a great revival. We do not understand fully the lessons that it teaches, notwithstanding the injunction given us to search and study it.

“Kelinglar, Muqaddas Kitobni o‘rganishga ko‘proq vaqt ajrataylik. Biz Kalomni lozim darajada tushunmayapmiz. Vahiy kitobi o‘z ichida mujassam bo‘lgan ta’limotni tushunishimiz uchun bizga berilgan amr bilan boshlanadi. Xudo shunday deydi: ‘Ushbu bashoratning so‘zlarini o‘qiydigan va eshitadiganlar hamda unda yozilganlarga rioya qiladiganlar baxtlidirlar; chunki vaqt yaqin.’ Biz xalq sifatida bu kitob biz uchun nimani anglatishini anglaganimizda, oramizda buyuk bir uyg‘onish namoyon bo‘ladi. Bizga uni tadqiq etish va o‘rganish haqida berilgan amrga qaramay, u o‘rgatayotgan saboqlarni to‘liq anglamayapmiz.”

“In the past teachers have declared Daniel and the Revelation to be sealed books, and the people have turned from them. The veil whose apparent mystery has kept many from lifting it, God’s own hand has withdrawn from these portions of His word. The very name ‘Revelation’ contradicts the statement that it is a sealed book. ‘Revelation’ means that something of importance is revealed. The truths of this book are addressed to those living in these last days. We are standing with the veil removed in the holy place of sacred things. We are not to stand without. We are to enter, not with careless, irreverent thoughts, not with impetuous footsteps, but with reverence and godly fear. We are nearing the time when the prophecies of the book of Revelation are to be fulfilled….

“O‘tmishda muallimlar Doniyor kitobi va Vahiy muhrlangan kitoblar, deb e’lon qilganlar, va xalq ulardan yuz o‘girgan. Ko‘plarni uni ko‘tarib tashlashdan to‘sib kelgan, go‘yoki sirli tuyulgan parda — Xudoning O‘z qo‘li bilan Uning kalomining bu qismlaridan olib tashlangan. «Vahiy» nomining o‘ziyoq uning muhrlangan kitob ekanligi haqidagi bayonotni inkor etadi. «Vahiy» degani muhim bir narsa ochib berilganini anglatadi. Bu kitobning haqiqatlari oxirgi kunlarda yashayotganlarga qaratilgandir. Biz muqaddas narsalarning muqaddas joyida parda olib tashlangan holda turibmiz. Biz tashqarida turmasligimiz kerak. Biz ichkariga kirishimiz lozim, ammo beparvo, ehtiromsiz fikrlar bilan ham, shoshqaloq qadamlar bilan ham emas, balki ehtirom va Xudodan qo‘rqish bilan. Biz Vahiy kitobidagi bashoratlar amalga oshadigan vaqtga yaqinlashmoqdamiz….”

“We have the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the spirit of prophecy. Priceless gems are to be found in the word of God. Those who search this word should keep the mind clear. Never should they indulge perverted appetite in eating or drinking.

“Bizda Xudoning amrlari va Iso Masihning shahodati bor; bu esa bashorat ruhidir. Xudoning kalomida bebaho gavharlar topiladi. Bu Kalomni tadqiq etuvchilar o‘z aqlini ravshan tutishlari lozim. Ular hech qachon yeb-ichishda buzuq nafsga erk bermasliklari kerak.

“If they do this, the brain will be confused; they will be unable to bear the strain of digging deep to find out the meaning of those things which relate to the closing scenes of this earth’s history.

“Agar ular shunday qilsalar, miya gangib qoladi; ular bu yer tarixining yakuniy manzaralariga taalluqli bo‘lgan narsalarning ma’nosini aniqlash uchun chuqur qazishning zo‘riqishiga bardosh bera olmaydilar.

“When the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood, believers will have an entirely different religious experience. They will be given such glimpses of the open gates of heaven that heart and mind will be impressed with the character that all must develop in order to realize the blessedness which is to be the reward of the pure in heart.

“Doniyor va Vahiy kitoblari yaxshiroq tushunilganda, imonlilar mutlaqo boshqacha diniy tajribaga ega bo‘ladilar. Ularga osmonning ochiq darvozalari shunchalik namoyon etiladiki, qalb va ong pok qalblilarga mukofot bo‘ladigan saodatni ro‘yobga chiqarish uchun barchaning rivojlantirishi lozim bo‘lgan fe’l-atvor taassuroti ostida qoladi.

“The Lord will bless all who will seek humbly and meekly to understand that which is revealed in the Revelation. This book contains so much that is large with immortality and full of glory that all who read and search it earnestly receive the blessing to those ‘that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’

“Vahiyda ochib berilgan narsalarni kamtarlik va muloyimlik bilan tushunishga intiladiganlarning barchasini Rabbiy barakalaydi. Bu kitob boqiylik bilan sermazmun va ulug‘vorlikka to‘la bo‘lgan shunchalik ko‘p haqiqatlarni o‘z ichiga oladiki, uni o‘qib, sidqidildan tadqiq qiladiganlarning barchasi ‘ushbu bashorat so‘zlarini eshitadigan va unda yozilgan narsalarga rioya qiladiganlarga’ va’da qilingan barakaga sazovor bo‘ladilar.”

“One thing will certainly be understood from the study of Revelation—that the connection between God and His people is close and decided.

«Vahiy kitobini o‘rganishdan albatta bir narsa anglashiladi — Xudo bilan Uning xalqi o‘rtasidagi bog‘liqlik yaqin va qat’iydir. »

“A wonderful connection is seen between the universe of heaven and this world. The things revealed to Daniel were afterward complemented by the revelation made to John on the Isle of Patmos. These two books should be carefully studied. Twice Daniel inquired, How long shall it be to the end of time?

“Osmon koinoti bilan bu dunyo o‘rtasida ajoyib bir bog‘liqlik ko‘rinadi. Doniyorga ochib berilgan narsalar keyinchalik Patmos orolida Yuhannoga berilgan vahiy bilan to‘ldirildi. Bu ikki kitob diqqat bilan o‘rganilishi kerak. Doniyor ikki marta shunday so‘radi: Oxirzamongacha qancha vaqt qoladi?

“‘And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.’

“‘Men eshitdim, ammo tushunmadim; shunda dedim: Ey Rabbim, bu narsalarning oxiri nima bo‘lur? U dedi: O‘z yo‘lingdan bor, ey Doniyor; chunki bu so‘zlar oxirzamon vaqtigacha yopiq va muhrlangan turur. Ko‘plar poklanur, oq qilinur va sinalur; ammo fosiqlar fosiqlarcha ish tuturlar; fosiqlardan hech biri tushunmas, lekin donolar tushunurlar. Doimiy qurbonlik olib tashlanib, vayron qiluvchi jirkanchlik o‘rnatilgan vaqtdan boshlab ming ikki yuz to‘qson kun bo‘lur. Kutib turib, ming uch yuz o‘ttiz besh kunga yetgan kishi baxtlidir. Ammo sen oxir yetguncha o‘z yo‘lingdan bor; chunki sen orom topursan va kunlarning oxirida o‘z nasibangda turursan.’”

“It was the Lion of the tribe of Judah who unsealed the book and gave to John the revelation of what should be in these last days.

“Muhrlangan kitobni ochgan va bu oxirgi kunlarda nima bo‘lishi kerakligi haqidagi vahiylarni Yuhannoga bergan Zot Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni edi.

“Daniel stood in his lot to bear his testimony which was sealed until the time of the end, when the first angel’s message should be proclaimed to our world. These matters are of infinite importance in these last days; but while ‘many shall be purified, and made white, and tried,’ ‘the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand.’ How true this is! Sin is the transgression of the law of God; and those who will not accept the light in regard to the law of God will not understand the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel’s messages. The book of Daniel is unsealed in the revelation to John, and carries us forward to the last scenes of this earth’s history.

“Daniyor oxirzamon paytigacha muhrlangan guvohligini berish uchun o‘z ulushida turdi; o‘sha paytda birinchi farishtaning xabari dunyomizga e’lon qilinishi kerak edi. Bu masalalar mana shu so‘nggi kunlarda cheksiz ahamiyatga egadir; biroq ‘ko‘plar poklanib, oq qilinib, sinaladilar’, ‘fosiqlar esa fosiqlik qiladilar; fosiqlarning hech biri tushunmaydi.’ Bu naqadar rost! Gunoh — Xudoning qonunini buzishdir; va Xudoning qonuni haqidagi nurni qabul qilmaydiganlar birinchi, ikkinchi va uchinchi farishtalarning xabarlari e’lonini tushunmaydilar. Daniyor kitobi Yuhannoga berilgan vahiyda muhrdan ochiladi va bizni bu yer tarixining so‘nggi manzaralariga olib boradi.

“Birodarlarimiz biz oxirgi kunlarning xatar-xatarlari orasida yashayotganimizni yodda tutadilarmi? Vahiy kitobini Doniyor bilan bog‘liq holda o‘qing. Bu narsalarni o‘rgating.” Testimonies to Ministers, 112–115.
