William Miller’s dream was placed within the book Early Writings, and therefore subject to the same prophetic analysis and application that is required to be accomplished by a student who seeks to rightly divide the Word of truth. The dream has been presented many times through the years by Future for America, but here we are putting it into the study of the “increase of knowledge,” that was opened up at “the time of the end” in 1798. The dream addresses the history of the message that represented the knowledge that was increased. It illustrates a link between the movements of the first and third angel’s messages.
Uilyam Millerning tushi Early Writings kitobiga joylashtirilgan bo‘lib, shu sababli haqiqat Kalomini to‘g‘ri taqsimlashga intiluvchi talaba tomonidan amalga oshirilishi lozim bo‘lgan o‘sha bir xil payg‘ambarlik tahlili va tatbiqiga bo‘ysunadi. Bu tush yillar davomida Future for America tomonidan ko‘p marotaba taqdim etib kelingan, ammo bu yerda biz uni 1798-yilda “oxirzamon vaqti”da ochilgan “bilimning ortishi” tadqiqotiga kiritmoqdamiz. Tush orttirilgan bilimni ifodalagan xabarning tarixiga taalluqlidir. U birinchi va uchinchi farishtalarning xabarlari harakatlari o‘rtasidagi bog‘liqlikni tasvirlaydi.
William Miller’s dream identifies his work, and his work was typified by the work of Moses at the beginning of ancient Israel. The fulfillment of Miller’s dream in the last days, was typified by the work of Christ, in the last days of ancient Israel. The work that Christ accomplished at the end of ancient Israel, represented the work Christ accomplishes in the last days of spiritual Israel. In Miller’s dream the work accomplished in the last days is represented as being performed by the “Dirt Brush Man”. It is essential to recognize Miller’s dream as a prediction of the fulfillment of the Midnight Cry in the last days. It is also essential to recognize that the work of Christ for ancient Israel in their last days typified the work of the “Dirt Brush Man” in Miller’s dream.
Uilyam Millerning tushi uning ishini aniqlab beradi, va uning ishi qadimgi Isroilning boshida Musoning ishi bilan timsollangan edi. Oxirgi kunlarda Miller tushining bajo bo‘lishi esa qadimgi Isroilning oxirgi kunlarida Masihning ishi bilan timsollangan edi. Qadimgi Isroilning yakunida Masih ado etgan ish, ruhiy Isroilning oxirgi kunlarida Masih ado etadigan ishni ifodalagan. Millerning tushida oxirgi kunlarda ado etilgan ish “Kir cho‘tkasi tutgan odam” tomonidan bajariladigan ish sifatida tasvirlangan. Millerning tushini oxirgi kunlarda Yarim Tun Faryodining bajo bo‘lishi haqidagi bashorat sifatida tan olish nihoyatda muhimdir. Shuningdek, ularning oxirgi kunlarida Masihning qadimgi Isroil uchun qilgan ishi Millerning tushidagi “Kir cho‘tkasi tutgan odam”ning ishini timsollaganini tan olish ham nihoyatda muhimdir.
One element of the work of Christ that is important to note is that He not only unsealed the buried truths from the time of Moses, but Christ simultaneously magnified those original truths. In doing so, He set an example that when God’s people fulfill Miller’s dream in the last days, the truths established through the work of Miller, will be expanded beyond their original understanding.
Masihning ishining e’tiborga loyiq jihatlaridan biri shundaki, U Muso zamonidan beri ko‘milgan haqiqatlarni nafaqat ochib berdi, balki Masih ayni paytda o‘sha asl haqiqatlarni ulug‘ladi ham. Shu orqali U shunday bir namunani ko‘rsatdiki, oxirgi kunlarda Xudoning xalqi Millerning tushini amalga oshirganda, Millerning xizmati orqali qaror toptirilgan haqiqatlar o‘zlarining dastlabki tushunchasidan ham kengaytiriladi.
“In the time of the Savior, the Jews had so covered over the precious jewels of truth with the rubbish of tradition and fable, that it was impossible to distinguish the true from the false. The Savior came to clear away the rubbish of superstition and long-cherished errors, and to set the jewels of God’s word in the framework of truth. What would the Savior do if he should come to us now as he did to the Jews? He would have to do a similar work in clearing away the rubbish of tradition and ceremony. The Jews were greatly disturbed when he did this work. They had lost sight of the original truth of God, but Christ brought it again to view. It is our work to free the precious truths of God from superstition and error. What a work is committed to us in the gospel!” Review and Herald, June 4, 1889.
“Najotkor zamonida yahudiylar haqiqatning qimmatbaho javohirlarini an’ana va afsonalar chiqindilari bilan shu qadar ko‘mib tashlagan edilarki, rostni yolg‘ondan ajratib bo‘lmay qolgan edi. Najotkor xurofot va uzoq vaqt asrab-avaylab kelingan xatolar chiqindilarini olib tashlash, hamda Xudoning Kalomi javohirlarini haqiqat doirasiga joylashtirish uchun keldi. Agar Najotkor hozir bizga ham yahudiylarga kelganidek kelsa, nima qilar edi? U an’ana va marosimlar chiqindilarini olib tashlashda shunga o‘xshash ishni qilishi kerak bo‘lar edi. U bu ishni qilganida, yahudiylar nihoyatda bezovta bo‘ldilar. Ular Xudoning asl haqiqatini ko‘zdan yo‘qotgan edilar, biroq Masih uni yana ko‘rinadigan qildi. Xudoning qimmatbaho haqiqatlarini xurofot va xatodan ozod qilish — bizning ishimizdir. Xushxabarda bizga qanday ulkan ish topshirilgan!” Review and Herald, 1889-yil 4-iyun.
Today the dirt brush man (Christ) is accomplishing “a similar work in clearing away the rubbish of tradition and ceremony” as did the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Christ) accomplish in the time of the Jews. In Miller’s dream, the precious jewels of truth that were perfectly arranged in the casket of God’s word, became covered with rubbish and counterfeit jewels. Those jewels were to be brought out from the rubbish and placed back into the larger casket of God’s Word during the period of the Midnight Cry of the last days, for it was when Miller looked upon the restored jewels in the larger casket that he “shouted with very joy, and that shout awoke” him. Miller’s dream occurred in 1847, three years after the Midnight Cry of the first angel, so his awakening in the dream is the Midnight Cry of the last days. That Midnight Cry is proclaimed by the two witnesses who had been slain by the beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit, and were dead in the street for three and a half days, until they were formed together and then brought to life in the valley of dead dry bones and then lifted up as an ensign. Miller’s dream is fulfilled on that street, and in the same valley that he identifies as “his room”.
Bugun chang cho‘tkali odam (Masih) Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni (Masih) yahudiylar zamonida amalga oshirganidek, “an’ana va marosimlarning chiqindilarini tozalashda shunga o‘xshash bir ishni” amalga oshirmoqda. Millerning tushida Xudoning Kalomi sandig‘ida mukammal tartib bilan joylashtirilgan haqiqatning qimmatbaho javohirlari chiqindi va qalbaki javohirlar bilan qoplanib qolgan edi. Bu javohirlar oxirgi kunlarning Yarim tun nidosi davrida chiqindilar orasidan chiqarilib, yana Xudoning Kalomining kattaroq sandig‘iga qaytarib joylashtirilishi kerak edi, chunki Miller kattaroq sandiqdagi tiklangan javohirlarga nazar solganida, u “nihoyatda quvonib qichqirdi va o‘sha qichqiriq” uni uyg‘otdi. Millerning tushi 1847-yilda, birinchi farishtaning Yarim tun nidosidan uch yil keyin sodir bo‘lgan, shuning uchun uning tushdagi uyg‘onishi oxirgi kunlarning Yarim tun nidosidir. O‘sha Yarim tun nidosi tubsizlikdan chiqqan mahluq tomonidan o‘ldirilgan va uch yarim kun davomida ko‘chada o‘lik yotgan, so‘ng o‘lik quruq suyaklar vodiysida birlashtirilib, keyin hayotga keltirilgan va undan so‘ng bayroq alomati sifatida ko‘tarilgan ikki guvoh tomonidan e’lon qilinadi. Millerning tushi o‘sha ko‘chada va u “o‘z xonasi” deb ta’riflaydigan ayni o‘sha vodiyda bajo bo‘ladi.
In the history of the Millerites, Miller was used by the Lord to establish the original truths of Adventism, but his dream identified that over time those truths would be buried. This phenomenon of clearing away the rubbish of tradition and custom is what Christ accomplished at the end of ancient Israel, and in so doing he typified the final fulfillment of William Miller’s dream.
Millerchilar tarixida, Miller Adventizmning dastlabki haqiqatlarini o‘rnatish uchun Rabbiy tomonidan qo‘llanildi, biroq uning tushida vaqt o‘tishi bilan o‘sha haqiqatlar ko‘milib qolishi ko‘rsatib berilgan edi. An’ana va urf-odatlar chiqindisini chetga surib tashlash hodisasi qadimgi Isroilning oxirida Masih amalga oshirgan ishdir, va shu tariqa U Uilyam Miller tushining yakuniy bajo bo‘lishini oldindan namoyon etdi.
The Jews had lost sight of “the original truth of God, but Christ brought it again to view,” and identified His work as “our work.” Our work is “to free the precious truths of God from superstition and error.” William Miller’s dream identifies the discovery, presentation and rejection, and restoration of the original truths. In order to accomplish the work of restoration, Christ placed the truth into “the framework of truth.” The “framework of truth” for William Miller was his understanding of the two desolating powers of paganism and papalism. In the last days the “framework of truth” is the three desolating powers of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.
Yahudiylar “Xudoning asl haqiqatini” ko‘zdan qochirgan edilar, biroq Masih uni yana ko‘rinishga keltirdi va Uning ishini “bizning ishimiz” deb belgiladi. Bizning ishimiz “Xudoning qimmatli haqiqatlarini xurofot va xatodan ozod qilish”dir. Uilyam Millerning tushi asl haqiqatlarning kashf etilishi, taqdim etilishi va rad qilinishi, hamda qayta tiklanishini ko‘rsatadi. Qayta tiklash ishini amalga oshirish uchun Masih haqiqatni “haqiqatning tuzilmasi” ichiga joylashtirdi. Uilyam Miller uchun “haqiqatning tuzilmasi” butparastlik va papalikning vayron qiluvchi ikki kuchi haqidagi tushunchasi edi. So‘nggi kunlarda “haqiqatning tuzilmasi” ajdarho, hayvon va soxta payg‘ambarning vayron qiluvchi uch kuchidir.
“When Christ came into the world to exemplify true religion, and to exalt the principles that should govern the hearts and actions of men, falsehood had taken so deep a hold upon those who had had so great light, that they no longer comprehended the light, and had no inclination to yield up tradition for truth. They rejected the heavenly Teacher, they crucified the Lord of glory, that they might retain their own customs and inventions. The very same spirit is manifested in the world today. Men are averse to investigating truth, lest their traditions should be disturbed, and a new order of things should be brought in. There is with humanity a constant liability to err, and men are naturally inclined to highly exalt human ideas and knowledge, while the divine and eternal is not discerned or appreciated.” Counsels on Sabbath School Work, 47.
“Masih haqiqiy dinni namoyon etish va insonlarning qalbi hamda xatti-harakatlarini boshqarishi lozim bo‘lgan tamoyillarni yuksaltirish uchun dunyoga kelganida, yolg‘on shunday chuqur ildiz otgan ediki, shuncha buyuk nurga ega bo‘lganlar endi nurni anglamas, an’anani haqiqat uchun topshirishga esa hech qanday moyillik ko‘rsatmas edilar. Ular samoviy Ustozni rad etdilar, o‘z urf-odatlari va ixtirolarini saqlab qolish uchun ulug‘vorlik Rabbiysini xochga mixladilar. Xuddi o‘sha ruh bugun ham dunyoda namoyon bo‘lmoqda. Odamlar haqiqatni tekshirishdan bosh tortadilar, toki ularning an’analari bezovta qilinmasin va narsalarning yangi tartibi joriy etilmasin. Insoniyatda adashishga doimiy moyillik bor, va odamlar tabiatan insoniy g‘oyalar hamda bilimni nihoyatda ulug‘lashga moyildirlar, holbuki ilohiy va abadiy bo‘lgan narsa na idrok etiladi, na qadrlanadi.” Counsels on Sabbath School Work, 47.
If Christ came into the world today He would find “the very same spirit” of exaltation of human ideas and knowledge, that placed tradition in place of truth. In Miller’s dream, in the last days, Christ comes as the dirt brush man to accomplish that identical work. When His work as the dirt brush man is accomplished, the original jewels will shine ten times brighter than the sun, as the two witnesses, represented by Miller, awake at the shout of the loud cry.
Agar Masih bugun dunyoga kelganida, U haqiqat o‘rniga an’anani qo‘ygan insoniy g‘oyalar va bilimni ulug‘lashning “aynan o‘sha ruhini” topgan bo‘lar edi. Millerning tushida, oxirgi kunlarda, Masih xuddi o‘sha ishni amalga oshirish uchun chang supuruvchi odam sifatida keladi. Uning chang supuruvchi odam sifatidagi ishi tamom bo‘lgach, asl javohirlar Miller bilan ifodalangan ikki guvoh sifatida baland nido hayqirig‘i ostida uyg‘onganda, quyoshdan o‘n baravar yorqinroq porlaydi.
The framework of truth given to Miller was the prophetic structure of two desolating powers, and the framework of truth given to Future for America is the prophetic structure of three desolating powers. The “key” that was attached to the casket was the particular methodology that was unsealed and given to Miller, and thereafter to Future for America.
Millerga berilgan haqiqatning asosiy tuzilmasi vayron qiluvchi ikki kuchning bashoratli tuzilmasi edi, Future for America ga berilgan haqiqatning asosiy tuzilmasi esa vayron qiluvchi uch kuchning bashoratli tuzilmasidir. Sandiqqa biriktirilgan “kalit” muhrdan yechilib, Millerga, undan keyin esa Future for America ga berilgan o‘sha alohida uslubiyat edi.
“The key of knowledge in Christ’s day had been taken away by those who should have held it to unlock the treasure house of wisdom in the Old Testament Scriptures. The rabbis and teachers had virtually shut up the kingdom of heaven from the poor and the afflicted, and left them to perish. In His discourses Christ did not bring many things before them at once, lest He might confuse their minds. He made every point clear and distinct. He did not disdain the repetition of old and familiar truths in prophecies if they would serve His purpose to inculcate ideas.
“Masihning kunlarida bilimning kaliti Eski Ahd Muqaddas Yozuvlaridagi hikmat xazinasini ochish uchun uni qo‘llarida tutishlari lozim bo‘lganlar tomonidan olib qo‘yilgan edi. Ravvinlar va muallimlar osmon shohligining eshigini kambag‘allar va azob chekayotganlar uchun amalda berkitib qo‘yib, ularni halok bo‘lishga tashlab qo‘ygan edilar. O‘z ta’limotlarida Masih ularning oldiga bir vaqtning o‘zida ko‘p narsalarni keltirmadi, toki ularning ongini chalg‘itib yubormasin. U har bir nuqtani ravshan va aniq qildi. Bashoratlardagi eski va tanish haqiqatlarni, agar ular g‘oyalarni singdirish maqsadiga xizmat qilsa, takrorlashni U mensimadi.”
“Christ was the originator of all the ancient gems of truth. Through the work of the enemy these truths had been displaced. They had been disconnected from their true position, and placed in the framework of error. Christ’s work was to readjust and establish the precious gems in the framework of truth. The principles of truth which had been given by Himself to bless the world had, through Satan’s agency, been buried and had apparently become extinct. Christ rescued them from the rubbish of error, gave them a new, vital force, and commanded them to shine as precious jewels, and stand fast forever.
“Masih qadimiy haqiqat gavharlarining barchasining ibtidochisi edi. Dushmanning faoliyati tufayli bu haqiqatlar o‘z joyidan surib tashlangan edi. Ular o‘zlarining haqiqiy o‘rnidan uzib qo‘yilib, xato ta’limot qolipiga joylashtirilgan edi. Masihning ishi esa qimmatbaho gavharlarni haqiqat qolipida qayta o‘rniga keltirish va mustahkamlashdan iborat edi. Dunyoni barakali qilish uchun Uning O‘zi tomonidan berilgan haqiqat tamoyillari Shaytonning vositachiligi orqali ko‘mib tashlangan va go‘yo yo‘q bo‘lib ketgandek bo‘lib qolgan edi. Masih ularni xatolik xarobalari orasidan qutqarib oldi, ularga yangi, hayotbaxsh qudrat berdi va ularga qimmatbaho javohirlar kabi porlashni hamda abadulabad sobit turishni buyurdi.”
“Christ Himself could use any of these old truths without borrowing the smallest particle, for He had originated them all. He had cast them into the minds and thoughts of each generation, and when He came to our world He rearranged and vitalized the truths which had become dead, making them more forcible for the benefit of future generations. It was Jesus Christ who had the power of rescuing the truths from the rubbish, and again giving them to the world with more than their original freshness and power.” Manuscript Releases, volume 13, 240, 241.
“Masihning O‘zi bu qadimiy haqiqatlarning istalgan biridan eng kichik bir zarrani ham qarz olmasdan foydalana olar edi, chunki U ularning barchasining manbai edi. U ularni har bir avlodning ongi va tafakkuriga joylagan edi, va U bizning dunyomizga kelganida, o‘lik holga kelib qolgan haqiqatlarni qayta tartibga soldi va ularga hayot bag‘ishladi, kelajak avlodlar manfaati uchun ularni yanada ta’sirchan qildi. Haqiqatlarni vayronalar orasidan qutqarib olib, yana dunyoga ularning dastlabki yangiligi va qudratidan ham ortiq holda berish qudratiga ega bo‘lgan Zot Iso Masih edi.” Manuscript Releases, 13-jild, 240, 241.
It is interesting to note in the last passage that the key that Christ employed at the end of ancient Israel was to open the Old Testament. The key of Miller’s methodology opened the casket of the Old and New Testaments, but in the last days, at the conclusion of his dream, the casket is larger. The key of methodology in the last days opens not only the Old and New Testaments, but also the Spirit of Prophecy. The unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, just before the close of probation is accomplished by the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who in Miller’s dream is represented as the dirt brush man. Sister White identifies that the work of the dirt brush man occurs just before the close of probation.
So‘nggi parcha ichida shuni qayd etish qiziqki, qadimgi Isroilning yakunida Masih qo‘llagan kalit Eski Ahdni ochish uchun edi. Millerning metodologiyasi kaliti Eski va Yangi Ahdlarning sandig‘ini ochdi, biroq oxirgi kunlarda, uning tushining yakunida, sandiq kattaroqdir. Oxirgi kunlardagi metodologiya kaliti nafaqat Eski va Yangi Ahdlarni, balki Bashorat Ruhini ham ochadi. Inoyat muddatining yopilishidan sal oldin Iso Masihning Vahiyining muhrdan yechilishi Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni tomonidan amalga oshiriladi; u Millerning tushida kir cho‘tkali odam sifatida tasvirlangan. Opa Uayt kir cho‘tkali odamning ishi inoyat muddatining yopilishidan sal oldin sodir bo‘lishini ta’kidlaydi.
“The Lord gave me a view, January 26, which I will relate. I saw that some of the people of God were stupid and dormant; and were but half awake, and did not realize the time we were now living in; and that the ‘man’ with the ‘dirt-brush’ had entered, and that some were in danger of being swept away. I begged of Jesus to save them, to spare them a little longer, and let them see their awful danger, that they might get ready before it should be forever too late. The angel said, ‘Destruction is coming like a mighty whirlwind.’ I begged of the angel to pity and to save those who loved this world, and were attached to their possessions, and were not willing to cut loose from them, and sacrifice them to speed the messengers on their way to feed the hungry sheep, who were perishing for want of spiritual food.
“Rabbiy menga 26-yanvar kuni bir manzara ko‘rsatdi, uni endi bayon qilaman. Men Xudoning ba’zi xalqini nodon va mudroq holda ko‘rdim; ular faqat yarim uyg‘oq edilar va biz hozir yashayotgan zamonni anglamas edilar; hamda «kir cho‘tkasi» bilan kelgan «odam» kirib kelganini, ayrimlari esa supurib olib ketilish xavfi ostida ekanini ko‘rdim. Men Isodan ularni qutqarishini, ularga yana ozgina muddat ayashini va ular o‘zlarining dahshatli xavfini ko‘rishlariga ijozat berishini iltijo qildim, toki ular abadiy kech bo‘lishidan oldin tayyor bo‘lsinlar. Farishta dedi: «Halokat qudratli bir bo‘ron singari kelmoqda». Men farishtadan bu dunyoni sevgan, mol-mulklariga bog‘lanib qolgan, ulardan uzilib, ularni yo‘lda bo‘lgan xabarchilarni tezlatish uchun qurbon qilishga rozi bo‘lmagan kishilarga rahm qilib, ularni qutqarishini so‘radim; chunki o‘sha xabarchilar ruhiy oziq yetishmasligi sabab halok bo‘layotgan och qo‘ylarni boqishlari kerak edi.”
“As I viewed poor souls dying for want of the present truth, and some who professed to believe the truth were letting them die, by withholding the necessary means to carry forward the work of God, the sight was too painful, and I begged of the angel to remove it from me. I saw that when the cause of God called for some of their property, like the young man who came to Jesus, [Matthew 19:16–22.] they went away sorrowful; and that soon the overflowing scourge would pass over and sweep their possessions all away, and then it would be too late to sacrifice earthly goods, and lay up a treasure in heaven.” Review and Herald, April 1, 1850.
“Hozirgi haqiqatdan mahrum bo‘lib halok bo‘layotgan bechora jonlarni, hamda haqiqatga ishonishini da’vo qilgan ayrimlar esa Xudoning ishini olg‘a surish uchun zarur vositalarni ushlab qolib, ularni o‘lishiga yo‘l qo‘yayotganini ko‘rganimda, bu manzara nihoyatda og‘riqli edi, va men farishtadan uni mendan olib tashlashini iltijo qildim. Men ko‘rdimki, Xudoning ishi ularning mol-mulkidan bir qismini talab qilganida, Iso huzuriga kelgan yigit singari, [Matthew 19:16–22.] ular qayg‘u bilan ketar edilar; va tez orada toshib keluvchi qamchi o‘tib, ularning bor-budini supurib ketadi, shunda yer yuzidagi mol-dunyoni qurbon qilib, osmonda xazina to‘plash uchun juda kech bo‘ladi.” Review and Herald, April 1, 1850.
The “overflowing scourge” is a symbol of the soon-coming Sunday law, and the work of the dirt brush man in Miller’s dream, takes place just before probation closes. It is when He has cleaned the room that He then casts the jewels back into the larger casket, and they then shine ten times brighter than the sun. Daniel and the three worthies were found ten times better than the others.
“Bostirib keluvchi qamchi” yaqinda kelajak Yakshanba qonunining ramzidir, va Millerning tushidagi kir cho‘tkasi bilan ishlovchi kishining ishi sinov muddati yopilishidan sal avval sodir bo‘ladi. U xonani tozalab bo‘lgach, qimmatbaho toshlarni yana kattaroq qutiga tashlaydi, va shunda ular quyoshdan o‘n barobar yorqinroq porlaydilar. Doniyor va uch nafar sodiq yigit boshqalardan o‘n barobar afzal deb topilgan edilar.
Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. Daniel 1:18–20.
Shoh belgilagan kunlar nihoyasiga yetgach, xojalarning boshlig‘i ularni Navuxadnazar huzuriga olib kirdi. Shoh ular bilan suhbatlashdi; va ularning barchasi orasida Doniyor, Xanoniyo, Mishoel va Azariyoga teng keladigani topilmadi; shu bois ular shoh huzurida xizmatda turdilar. Va shoh ulardan so‘ragan donolik hamda fahm-farosatga oid har bir masalada, u ularni o‘zining butun shohligidagi barcha sehrgarlar va munajjimlardan o‘n baravar afzal deb topdi. Doniyor 1:18–20.
The “end of the days,” for Daniel represented the litmus test where Nebuchadnezzar passed judgment, and that test typifies the Sunday law in the last days. The original and foundational truths will shine ten times brighter when restored in the last days, than when they were first recognized. The truths, and the wise who understand those truths in the last days will shine ten times brighter during the latter rain, which is the repetition of the Midnight Cry.
“Oxirgi kunlar” Doniyor uchun Navuxadnazar hukm chiqargan sinov mezonini ifodalagan bo‘lib, o‘sha sinov oxirgi kunlardagi yakshanba qonunining timsolidir. Asliy va poydevor haqiqatlar oxirgi kunlarda qayta tiklanganda, ular ilk bor tan olingan paytdagidan o‘n karra yorqinroq porlaydi. Haqiqatlar hamda o‘sha haqiqatlarni oxirgi kunlarda tushunadigan donolar, Yarim tun nidosining takrori bo‘lgan keyingi yomg‘ir davrida o‘n karra yorqinroq porlaydilar.
“You are getting the coming of the Lord too far off. I saw the latter rain was coming as [suddenly as] the midnight cry, and with ten times the power.” Spalding and Magan, 5.
“Siz Rabbiyning kelishini haddan tashqari uzoqqa suryapsiz. Men oxirgi yomg‘ir [yarim tun faryodi kabi] to‘satdan va o‘n karra qudrat bilan kelayotganini ko‘rdim.” Spalding and Magan, 5.
The restoration of the original truths is accomplished by the application of the latter rain methodology of “line upon line.” Once restored, the original truths shine “ten times” brighter than they did when Miller first looked upon them. The wise who employ the key of methodology to restore the original truths, obtain an experience that is “ten times” better than those who eat the methodology of Babylon. Those that are swept away by the dirt brush man, are those who have become attached to the traditions and customs that have covered up the original truth, and who are purged out with the errors of tradition and customs they have become attached to.
Asl haqiqatlarning qayta tiklanishi “qator ustiga qator” bo‘lgan kech yomg‘ir metodologiyasining tatbiqi orqali amalga oshadi. Qayta tiklangach, asl haqiqatlar Miller ularga ilk bor nazar solgan paytdagidan “o‘n karra” yorqinroq porlaydi. Asl haqiqatlarni qayta tiklash uchun metodologiya kalitidan foydalanadigan donolar, Bobilning metodologiyasini yeganlardan “o‘n karra” afzalroq bo‘lgan bir tajribaga ega bo‘ladilar. Kir cho‘tka tutgan odam tomonidan supurib tashlanadiganlar esa, asl haqiqatni yopib qo‘ygan urf-odatlar va an’analarga bog‘lanib qolgan, hamda o‘zlari yopishib olgan urf-odatlar va an’analarning xatolari bilan birga poklanib chiqarib tashlanadigan kishilardir.
A false doctrine is an idol.
Soxta ta’limot — butdir.
“In rejecting the truth, men reject its Author. In trampling upon the law of God, they deny the authority of the Law-giver. It is as easy to make an idol of false doctrines and theories as to fashion an idol of wood or stone.” The Great Controversy, 584.
“Haqiqatni rad etib, odamlar uning Muallifini rad etadilar. Xudoning qonunini oyoq osti qilish orqali ular Qonun beruvchining hokimiyatini inkor etadilar. Yog‘och yoki toshdan but yasash qanchalik oson bo‘lsa, soxta ta’limotlar va nazariyalardan but yasash ham shunchalik osondir.” Buyuk kurash, 584.
The pronouncement upon Ephraim that marked the close of probation for Ephraim, emphasizes the truth of what the dirt brush man accomplishes when he sweeps the floor.
Efrayim uchun sinov muddatining yakunini belgilagan Efrayim ustiga chiqarilgan hukm, polni supurganda chang cho‘tka tutgan odam nima amalga oshirishini bildiruvchi haqiqatni ta’kidlaydi.
Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. Hosea 4:17.
Efrayim butlarga qo‘shilib ketgan; uni o‘z holiga qo‘ying. Ho‘sheya 4:17.
You are what you eat, as demonstrated by Daniel and the three worthies. Sister White’s anxiety over those who were “stupid and dormant” was in relation to their lack of preparation, and their lack of discernment over the importance of “present truth.” Her anxiety was an expression of Christ’s concern for the quibbling Jews of his day and age, who had completely lost sight of the original truths. Miller’s dream identifies the end of modern spiritual Israel, which has been typified by ancient literal Israel.
Daniyel va uch sodiq yigit misolida ko‘rsatilganidek, inson nima yesa, o‘shaning o‘ziga aylanadi. Oqsoch opa “ahmoq va mudroq” bo‘lganlar haqida qayg‘urganida, bu ularning tayyorgarliksizligi va “hozirgi haqiqat”ning ahamiyatini anglab yetishdagi farosatsizligi bilan bog‘liq edi. Uning tashvishi o‘sha davrning mayda bahschi yahudiylari uchun Masihning bo‘lgan g‘amxo‘rligini ifoda etar edi; ular asl haqiqatlarni butunlay ko‘zdan qochirib yuborgan edilar. Millerning tushi qadimgi tom ma’nodagi Isroil timsolida namoyon bo‘lgan zamonaviy ruhiy Isroilning oxirini ko‘rsatadi.
“The scribes and Pharisees professed to explain the Scriptures, but they explained them in accordance with their own ideas and traditions. Their customs and maxims became more and more exacting. In its spiritual sense, the sacred Word became to the people as a sealed book, closed to their comprehension.” Signs of the Times, May 17, 1905.
“Ulamolar va farziylar Muqaddas Yozuvlarni tushuntirishga da’vo qilar edilar, ammo ularni o‘zlarining g‘oyalari va an’analariga muvofiq ravishda sharh qilar edilar. Ularning urf-odatlari va qoidalari tobora og‘irlashib, talabchanlashib bordi. Muqaddas Kalom o‘zining ruhiy ma’nosida xalq uchun muhrlangan, ularning anglashiga yopiq bir kitob kabi bo‘lib qoldi.” Signs of the Times, May 17, 1905.
A progressive darkness has settled upon Laodicean Adventism since 1863, and the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy has become to them as a book that is sealed. Just before probation closes the Revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed, and it produces a three-step testing process that ends with those who refuse to relinquish their idols of custom and tradition being swept away at the soon-coming Sunday law.
1863-yildan beri Laodikeyaviy Adventizm ustiga tobora quyuqlashib borayotgan zulmat cho‘kdi, va Muqaddas Kitob hamda Bashorat Ruhi ular uchun muhrlangan kitob kabi bo‘lib qoldi. Sinov muddati yopilishidan sal oldin Iso Masihning Vahiyi muhrdan ochiladi va u uch bosqichli sinov jarayonini yuzaga keltiradiki, uning oxirida odat va an’ana butlaridan voz kechishni rad etganlar yaqin orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni paytida supurib tashlanadilar.
“We have an infinite Redeemer, and how precious are the gems of truth that testify to this in God’s word. But these precious jewels have been buried beneath a mass of rubbish, of tradition, of heresies, which Satan himself has originated. His schemes are working with a strange power upon human minds to eclipse the value of Christ to those who believe in him. The enemy of God and man has cast a spell over those who profess to be the followers of Christ, until of many it can be said, They know not the time of their visitation.” Review and Herald, August 16, 1898.
“Bizning cheksiz Najotkorimiz bor, va Xudoning Kalomidagi bunga guvohlik beradigan haqiqat gavharlari naqadar qimmatlidir. Ammo bu qimmatbaho javohirlar urf-odatlar, bid’atlar uyumi ostiga ko‘mib tashlangan bo‘lib, bularning o‘zini Shaytonning o‘zi paydo qilgan. Uning makrlari inson ongiga g‘aroyib bir qudrat bilan ta’sir etib, Masihga imon keltirganlar nazarida Uning qadr-qimmatini xiralashtirmoqda. Xudo va insonning dushmani Masihning izdoshimiz deb e’tirof etuvchilar ustiga shunday bir afsun solganki, ularning ko‘plari haqida shunday deyish mumkin: Ular o‘zlariga nazar tashrif buyurilgan vaqtni bilmaydilar.” Review and Herald, 1898-yil 16-avgust.
Miller’s dream illustrates the history of the establishment of the “original truths,” their subsequent rejection, and then their ultimate restoration. Just before the close of probation the “Dirt Brush Man” enters into the scenario and re-establishes the original truths, and makes them “ten times” brighter. This takes place during the history of the Midnight Cry, which precedes the Loud Cry of the third angel at the Sunday law. The Midnight Cry awakens and separates the virgins in advance of the Sunday law, as did the Midnight Cry precede the opening of the investigative judgment in Millerite history. When the jewels are cast back into the larger, restored casket, it is too late, for that event takes place “after” the floor has been swept clean.
Millerning tushi “asl haqiqatlar”ning qaror topishi tarixini, keyinchalik ularning rad etilishini, so‘ng esa nihoyat qayta tiklanishini tasvirlaydi. Sinov muddatining yakunlanishidan sal oldin “Kir cho‘tka tutgan odam” ushbu manzaraga kirib keladi va asl haqiqatlarni qayta tiklaydi hamda ularni “o‘n karra” yorqinroq qiladi. Bu voqea Yakuniy faryoddan oldin, ya’ni Yakshanba qonuni davridagi uchinchi farishtaning baland nidosidan avval sodir bo‘ladigan Yarim tun nidosi tarixida yuz beradi. Yarim tun nidosi, xuddi Millerchilar tarixida tergov hukmining boshlanishidan oldin bo‘lgani kabi, Yakshanba qonunidan avval bokiralarni uyg‘otadi va ajratadi. Qimmatbaho toshlar qayta tiklangan kattaroq qutichaga yana tashlanganida esa endi juda kech bo‘ladi, chunki bu voqea pol butunlay supurib tozalangandan “keyin” sodir bo‘ladi.
“The dust and rubbish of error have buried the precious jewels of truth, but the Lord’s workers can uncover these treasures, so that thousands will look upon them with delight and awe. Angels of God will be beside the humble worker, giving grace and divine enlightenment, and thousands will be led to pray with David, ‘Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.’ Truths that have been for ages unseen and unheeded, will blaze forth from the illuminated pages of God’s holy word. The churches generally that have heard, refused, and trampled upon the truth, will do more wickedly; but ‘the wise,’ those who are honest, will understand. The book is open, and the words of God reach the hearts of those who desire to know his will. At the loud cry of the angel from heaven who joins the third angel, thousands will awake from the stupor that has held the world for ages, and will see the beauty and value of the truth.” Review and Herald, December 15, 1885.
“Adashish va xatoning changi hamda chiqindilari haqiqatning qimmatbaho javohirlarini ko‘mib yuborgan, ammo Rabbiyning ishchilari bu xazinalarni ochib bera oladilar, shunda minglab kishilar ularga zavq va hayrat bilan nazar soladilar. Xudoning farishtalari kamtarin ishchi yonida bo‘lib, inoyat va ilohiy ma’rifat ato etadilar, va minglab kishilar Dovud bilan birga shunday deb ibodat qilishga yetaklanadilar: ‘Ko‘zlarimni ochgin, toki Sening qonuningdan ajoyib narsalarni ko‘rayin.’ Asrlar davomida ko‘rilmagan va e’tiborsiz qoldirilgan haqiqatlar Xudoning muqaddas Kalomining yoritilgan sahifalaridan lovullab namoyon bo‘ladi. Haqiqatni eshitgan, rad etgan va oyoq osti qilgan jamoatlar, umuman olganda, yanada qabihroq ish tutadilar; ammo ‘donolar’, ya’ni halol bo‘lganlar, anglaydilar. Kitob ochiqdir, va Xudoning so‘zlari Uning irodasini bilishni istaganlarning qalblariga yetib boradi. Uchinchi farishtaga qo‘shiladigan osmondan kelgan farishtaning baland nidosi yangraganda, minglab kishilar asrlar davomida dunyoni tutib turgan karaxtlikdan uyg‘onadilar va haqiqatning go‘zalligi hamda qadr-qimmatini ko‘radilar.” Review and Herald, December 15, 1885.
The “thousands” that then awake, represent God’s other flock that are still in Babylon, for the “loud cry” begins at the Sunday law. The work of the “Dirt Brush Man” has been under way since September 11, 2001, and even more so since July of 2023.
So‘ng uyg‘onadigan “minglar” hali ham Bobilda bo‘lgan Xudoning boshqa suruvini ifodalaydi, chunki “baland nido” yakshanba qonunidan boshlanadi. “Kir Cho‘tkasi Odam”ning ishi 2001-yil 11-sentabrdan beri davom etib kelmoqda va 2023-yil iyulidan buyon bundan ham ko‘proq darajada shunday bo‘lmoqda.
“The apostle says, ‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.’ The Bible is its own expositor. One passage will prove to be a key that will unlock other passages, and in this way light will be shed upon the hidden meaning of the word. By comparing different texts treating on the same subject, viewing their bearing on every side, the true meaning of the Scriptures will be made evident.
“Havoriy shunday deydi: ‘Butun Muqaddas Yozuv Xudo ilhomi bilan berilgandir va ta’limot uchun, tanbeh berish uchun, tuzatish uchun, solihlikda tarbiya berish uchun foydalidir; toki Xudoning odami barkamol bo‘lib, har qanday yaxshi ishga to‘la tayyor bo‘lsin.’ Muqaddas Kitob o‘zining o‘z sharhlovchisidir. Bir parcha boshqa parchalarni ochadigan kalit bo‘lib chiqadi, va shu tariqa kalomning yashirin ma’nosiga nur tushadi. Bir mavzuga oid turli matnlarni qiyoslab, ularning har tomonlama aloqadorligini ko‘rib chiqish orqali, Muqaddas Yozuvlarning haqiqiy ma’nosi ayon bo‘ladi.
“Many think that they must consult commentaries on the Scriptures in order to understand the meaning of the word of God, and we would not take the position that commentaries should not be studied; but it will take much discernment to discover the truth of God under the mass of the words of men. How little has been done by the church, as a body professing to believe the Bible, to gather up the scattered jewels of God’s word into one perfect chain of truth! The jewels of truth do not lie upon the surface, as many suppose. The master mind in the confederacy of evil is ever at work to keep the truth out of sight, and to bring into full view the opinions of great men. The enemy is doing all in his power to obscure heaven’s light through educational processes; for he does not mean that men shall hear the voice of the Lord, saying, ‘This is the way, walk ye in it.’
“Ko‘plar Xudoning kalomining ma’nosini tushunish uchun Muqaddas Yozuvlarga doir sharhlarga murojaat qilishlari kerak, deb o‘ylaydilar, va biz sharhlarni o‘rganmaslik kerak, degan nuqtayi nazarni tutmaymiz; biroq insonlarning so‘zlari uyumi ostidan Xudoning haqiqatini topib olish uchun katta farosat talab etiladi. Injilga ishonishini da’vo qiluvchi bir jamoa sifatida jamoat Xudoning kalomining sochilib yotgan javohirlarini yagona mukammal haqiqat zanjiriga terib chiqish uchun naqadar oz ish qilgan! Haqiqat javohirlari, ko‘pchilik o‘ylaganidek, yuzada yotmaydi. Yovuzlik ittifoqidagi bosh aql haqiqatni ko‘zdan yashirish va buyuk odamlarning fikrlarini to‘la namoyon etish uchun doimo ish olib bormoqda. Dushman ta’lim jarayonlari orqali osmon nurini xiralashtirish uchun qo‘lidan kelgan barcha ishni qilmoqda; chunki u odamlar Rabbiyning: ‘Mana yo‘l shu, unda yuringlar’, degan ovozini eshitishlarini istamaydi.”
“The jewels of truth lie scattered over the field of revelation; but they have been buried beneath human traditions, beneath the sayings and commandments of men, and the wisdom from heaven has been practically ignored; for Satan has succeeded in making the world believe that the words and achievements of men are of great consequence. The Lord God, the Creator of the worlds, at infinite cost has given the gospel to the world. Through this divine agent, glad, refreshing springs of heavenly comfort and abiding consolation have been opened for those who will come to the fountain of life. There are veins of truth yet to be discovered; but spiritual things are spiritually discerned. Minds beclouded with evil cannot appreciate the value of the truth as it is in Jesus.” Review and Herald, December 1, 1891.
“Haqiqat javohirlari vahiy dalasi uzra sochilib yotibdi; biroq ular insoniy urf-odatlar, odamlarning so‘zlari va amrlari ostida ko‘milib qolgan, osmondan keladigan donolik esa amalda e’tiborsiz qoldirilgan; chunki Shayton dunyoni odamlarning so‘zlari va yutuqlari nihoyatda muhim, deb ishontirishga muvaffaq bo‘ldi. Olamlarning Yaratuvchisi bo‘lgan Rabbiy Xudo behisob qimmat evaziga xushxabarni dunyoga berdi. Ushbu ilohiy vosita orqali hayot manbaiga keladiganlar uchun samoviy tasallining quvonchli, tetiklantiruvchi buloqlari va barqaror ovunch ochib qo‘yildi. Hali kashf etilishi lozim bo‘lgan haqiqat tomirlari bor; ammo ruhiy narsalar ruhiy tarzda idrok etiladi. Yovuzlik bilan xiralashgan tafakkur haqiqatning Iso Masihdagi qadrini anglay olmaydi.” Review and Herald, 1891-yil 1-dekabr.
The work of Christ as represented in Miller’s dream as the dirt brush man is two-fold. It is to remove the error, and to restore the original truths. The removal of error is also two-fold, for when the error is swept out the window, the error takes those who choose to remain attached to the errors with it. The work of separation accomplished by the dirt brush man is also addressed by Jeremiah, and his testimony agrees with Sister White, when she stated that, “the Lord’s workers can uncover these treasures, so that thousands will look upon them with delight and awe.”
Millerning tushida chang cho‘tkasi tutgan kishi sifatida ifodalangan Masihning ishi ikki tomonlamadir. U xatoni bartaraf etish va asl haqiqatlarni qayta tiklashdan iboratdir. Xatoni olib tashlash ham ikki tomonlamadir, chunki xato derazadan supurib chiqarilganda, u o‘sha xatolarga bog‘lanib qolishni tanlaganlarni ham o‘zi bilan birga olib ketadi. Chang cho‘tkasi tutgan kishi amalga oshiradigan ajratish ishi Yeremiyo tomonidan ham tilga olingan, va uning guvohligi Sister White bilan hamohangdir; u shunday degan edi: “the Lord’s workers can uncover these treasures, so that thousands will look upon them with delight and awe.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. Jeremiah 15:19.
Shuning uchun Egamiz shunday deydi: Agar sen qaytsang, Men seni yana qaytaraman, va sen Mening oldimda turursan; agar sen qimmatlisini razildan ajratib chiqarsang, Mening og‘zimdek bo‘lursan; ular senga qaytsinlar, ammo sen ularga qaytma. Yeremiyo 15:19.
The context of the passage in Jeremiah is addressing those who have experienced the first disappointment of July 18, 2020. It is not simply the dirt brush man that separates the precious from the vile, but it is also the work of those represented by Jeremiah, who are represented as making a decision of whether they will return to the Lord or not return. They have obviously not been with the Lord, for if they had been walking with him, there would be no reason for them to return. When they do return and stand before the Lord, and thereafter become His mouthpiece, they will have accomplished a work of separating the precious from the vile. The work of the “Dirt Brush Man”, requires the participation of the wise. The work of the “Dirt Brush Man” in Miller’s dream is also illustrated when Christ purges His floor through a refining process.
Eremiyodagi ushbu parchaning konteksti 2020-yil 18-iyuldagi birinchi umidsizlikni boshdan kechirganlarga qaratilgandir. Qimmatbahoni razildan ajratadigan faqatgina “Dirt Brush Man” emas, balki Eremiyo tomonidan ifodalanganlarning ham ishidir; ular Egamizga qaytish yoki qaytmaslik haqida qaror chiqarayotganlar sifatida tasvirlanadi. Ular ravshanki Egamiz bilan birga bo‘lmaganlar, chunki agar U bilan yurgan bo‘lganlarida edi, ularga qaytish uchun hech qanday sabab bo‘lmas edi. Ular qaytib, Egamizning huzurida turganlarida va shundan so‘ng Uning og‘zi bo‘lganlarida, qimmatbahoni razildan ajratish ishini bajo keltirgan bo‘ladilar. “Dirt Brush Man”ning ishi donolarning ishtirokini talab qiladi. Millerning tushidagi “Dirt Brush Man”ning ishi, shuningdek, Masihning tozalash jarayoni orqali O‘z xirmonini poklashi bilan ham tasvirlanadi.
“Just how soon this refining process will begin I cannot say, but it will not be long deferred. He whose fan is in His hand will cleanse His temple of its moral defilement. He will thoroughly purge His floor.” Testimonies to Ministers, 372, 373.
“Bu poklanish jarayoni qanchalik tez orada boshlanishini ayta olmayman, ammo u uzoqqa choʻzilmaydi. Qoʻlida sovuradigan kuragi boʻlgan Zot Oʻz maʼbadini uning axloqiy nopokligidan poklaydi. U Oʻz xirmonini butunlay tozalaydi.” Testimonies to Ministers, 372, 373.
The final “refining process” began in July of 2023, and it is the refining process of Malachi chapter three.
So‘nggi “poklanish jarayoni” 2023-yilning iyul oyida boshlandi va u Malaki kitobining uchinchi bobidagi poklanish jarayonidir.
“Malachi 3:1–4 quoted.
«Malaki 3:1–4 dan iqtibos keltirildi.
“A refining, purifying process is going on among the people of God, and the Lord of hosts has set his hand to this work. This process is most trying to the soul, but it is necessary in order that defilement may be removed. Trials are essential in order that we may be brought close to our heavenly Father, in submission to his will, that we may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. God’s work of refining and purifying the soul must go on until his servants are so humbled, so dead to self, that when called into active service, they may have an eye single to the glory of God.” Review and Herald, April 10, 1894.
“Xudoning xalqi orasida bir poklovchi, tozalovchi jarayon kechmoqda, va lashkarlar Egasi O‘z qo‘lini bu ishga qo‘ygan. Bu jarayon jon uchun nihoyatda og‘ir sinovlidir, ammo nopoklik olib tashlanishi uchun u zarurdir. Sinovlar zarurdir, toki biz osmondagi Otamizga yaqinlashtirilib, Uning irodasiga bo‘ysungan holda, Egamizga solihlikda qurbonlik keltiraylik. Xudoning jonni poklash va tozalash ishi Uning xizmatkorlari shunchalik kamtar bo‘lgunlaricha, o‘zlikka shunchalik o‘lik bo‘lgunlaricha davom etishi kerakki, faol xizmatga chaqirilganlarida, ularning ko‘zi faqat Xudoning ulug‘vorligiga qaratilgan bo‘lsin.” Review and Herald, 1894-yil 10-aprel.
Miller’s second dream identifies the restoration of the original truths, and the simultaneous restoration of a people who have been scattered. Nebuchadnezzar’s second dream identifies the restoration of his kingdom. Miller’s dream addresses the burying up of the original truths in the terms of those truths being “scattered.” The word “scattered” is a symbol of the “seven times.” Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is about the “scattering” of the “seven times.” Nebuchadnezzar is placed at the time of the end in 1798, and is there representing a converted man. Miller is the symbol of “the wise” in 1798.
Millerning ikkinchi tushi asl haqiqatlarning qayta tiklanishini va ayni bir vaqtda tarqab ketgan bir xalqning ham qayta tiklanishini aniqlab beradi. Navuxadnazarнинг ikkinchi tushi uning shohligining qayta tiklanishini aniqlab beradi. Millerning tushi asl haqiqatlarning ko‘mib qo‘yilishini ushbu haqiqatlarning “tarqatib yuborilgani” ifodalari orqali yoritadi. “Tarqatib yuborilgan” so‘zi “yetti vaqt”ning ramzidir. Navuxadnazarning tushi “yetti vaqt”ning “tarqatib yuborilishi” ҳақидадир. Navuxadnazar 1798 yildagi oxirzamon vaqtiga qo‘yilgan bo‘lib, u yerda tavba qilib o‘zgargan bir insonni ifodalaydi. Miller esa 1798 yildagi “donolar”ning ramzidir.
We will continue Miller’s dream in the next article.
Keyingi maqolada Millerning tushini davom ettiramiz.
“When we are called upon to differ with others, or others express their difference from our opinion, we should manifest a Christian spirit, and keep this fact prominent that we can afford to be quiet and fair; for the truth will bear investigation. The more it is studied, the more will its light shine forth. The Lord frowns upon everything that savors of harshness and severity, and puts his rebuke upon those who cast contempt and reproach upon those who differ with them in opinion, placing them in the worst possible light. All Heaven looks upon those who do this as Heaven looked upon the Pharisees, and pronounces them as ignorant both of the Scriptures and the power of God. The enemies of truth cannot make truth error. They may trample upon the truth, and think that because they have cast it down, and covered it with rubbish, it is overcome; but God will move upon some of his faithful ones to do as Christ did when he was upon earth,—brush away the rubbish, and restore the truth to its appropriate setting in the framework of truth.
“Biz boshqalar bilan fikr jihatidan farq qilishga da’vat etilganimizda, yoki boshqalar o‘zlarining bizning fikrimizdan farq qilishlarini bildirganlarida, biz masihiy ruhni namoyon etishimiz va haqiqatni ko‘zga yaqqol tutishimiz kerakki, biz xotirjam va adolatli bo‘la olamiz; chunki haqiqat tekshiruvga bardosh beradi. U qanchalik ko‘p o‘rganilsa, uning nuri shunchalik yorqinroq porlaydi. Rabbiy dag‘allik va shafqatsizlik hidini anqitadigan har qanday narsadan norozi bo‘ladi hamda o‘z fikrida bizdan farq qiladiganlarga nisbatan nafrat va malomat yog‘dirib, ularni imkon qadar eng yomon ko‘rinishda tasvirlaydiganlarga O‘z tanbehini qaratadi. Butun Osmon bunday qiluvchilarga Osmon farziylarga qaragandek qaraydi va ularni Muqaddas Yozuvlarni ham, Xudoning qudratini ham bilmaydigan nodonlar deb e’lon qiladi. Haqiqatning dushmanlari haqiqatni xatoga aylantira olmaydi. Ular haqiqatni oyoq osti qilishlari va uni yiqitib, ustini chiqindi bilan yopganlari uchun uni yengdik, deb o‘ylashlari mumkin; ammo Xudo O‘zining ba’zi sodiq kishilarini, Masih yer yuzida bo‘lganida qilganidek, chiqindini supurib tashlab, haqiqatni haqiqat tuzilmasidagi o‘ziga munosib o‘rniga qayta tiklash uchun harakatga keltiradi.
“In companies where the truth is a matter of discussion, there will be those who will oppose everything that they have not held as truth; and while they flatter themselves that they are only battling with error, they have need to hear with unprejudiced ears, that they may understand what is truth, and not misrepresent and misinterpret that which is spoken. They have the example of the men in all ages who have fought against truth, and who in so doing, have rejected the council (sic) of God against themselves. Heavy will be the responsibility that will rest upon men who have had great light, and great opportunities, and who have yet failed to be wholly on the Lord’s side. Should they venture to be wholly on the Lord’s side, they would be preserved in integrity, even when they were called upon to stand alone. He would enable them to stand courageously, in purity and fairness, contending for uncorrupted principles of righteousness. He would sustain them in battling for the right because it is right, though justice were fallen in the street, and equity could not enter. They would understand what would be pure and undefiled, and in accordance with the life of Christ, and would not turn from the purest principles of Christianity in spirit, word, or action, even though they stood in opposition not only to ignorance, but to those who were cultivated and experienced, and who used the weapons of sophistry to silence them. Through all this strife of error against truth, they would be preserved, and enabled to keep such a course that their enemies could not gainsay or resist them. They would stand as a rock to principle, refusing to compromise with any man, and yet preserving the spirit that would characterize every Christian.
“Haqiqat muhokama mavzusi bo‘lgan yig‘inlarda, o‘zlari haqiqat deb qabul qilmagan har qanday narsaga qarshi turadiganlar bo‘ladi; va ular o‘zlarini go‘yoki faqat xato bilan kurashayotgandek ovutsalar-da, aytilayotgan narsani noto‘g‘ri bayon etmaslik va noto‘g‘ri talqin qilmasliklari uchun, haqiqat nima ekanini anglab olish maqsadida xolis quloq bilan eshitishga muhtojdirlar. Ular barcha asrlarda haqiqatga qarshi kurashgan va shu yo‘l bilan Xudoning o‘zlariga qarshi bo‘lgan maslahatini (sic) rad etgan kishilarning misoliga egadirlar. Katta nurga, ulkan imkoniyatlarga ega bo‘lgan, ammo baribir to‘liq ravishda Rabbiyning tarafida bo‘la olmagan kishilar zimmasiga tushadigan mas’uliyat og‘ir bo‘ladi. Agar ular butunlay Rabbiyning tarafida turishga jur’at etsalar, hatto yolg‘iz turishga chaqirilganlarida ham, to‘g‘rilikda saqlanib qolardilar. U ularni poklik va xolislikda jasorat bilan turishga, buzilmagan solihlik tamoyillari uchun kurashishga qodir qilardi. U ularga to‘g‘ri narsa to‘g‘ri bo‘lgani uchun uning uchun kurashishda madad berardi, garchi adolat ko‘chada yiqilgan bo‘lsa-da va insof kira olmasa ham. Ular nima pok va bulg‘anmagan ekanini, nima Masihning hayotiga muvofiq ekanini anglar edilar va, hatto ular nafaqat johillikka, balki ularni sukutga solish uchun safsata qurollaridan foydalanuvchi tahsilli va tajribali kishilarga ham qarshi turganlarida, ruhda, so‘zda yoki amalda nasroniylikning eng pok tamoyillaridan yuz o‘girmas edilar. Xatoning haqiqatga qarshi bo‘lgan ana shu barcha kurashi davomida ular saqlanib qolar va shunday yo‘l tutishga qodir etilar edilarki, dushmanlari ularga na e’tiroz bildira olar, na qarshi tura olar edi. Ular tamoyilga nisbatan qoya kabi sobit turar, hech bir inson bilan murosaga bormas, shu bilan birga har bir nasroniyni tavsiflaydigan ruhni saqlab qolar edilar.”
“He who is a follower of Christ will distinguish between the sacred and the common, and will cling to the true evidence of a man’s character and work, for Christ has said, ‘By their fruits ye shall know them.’ The Christian will move forward amid all manner of opposition. He will despise flattery because it is born of Satan. He will detest accusation because it is the weapon of the evil one. They will not cherish envy or indulge in self-exaltation because these are the characteristics of the adversary of God and man. They will not be found as spies; for Satan used the despised Jews in doing this work against Jesus. They will not follow their brethren with a flood of questions as the Jews followed Christ for the purpose of entangling him in his words, and provoking him to speak of many things in order that they might make him an offender for a word.” Home Missionary, September 1, 1894.
“Masihning izdoshisi bo‘lgan kishi muqaddas bilan oddiyni farqlaydi va insonning fe’l-atvori hamda ishidagi haqiqiy dalilga mahkam yopishadi, chunki Masih: «Ularni mevalaridan bilib olursizlar», degan. Masihiy har qanday qarshiliklar orasida ham oldinga intiladi. U xushomadni mensimaydi, chunki u Shaytondan tug‘ilgandir. U ayblovni jirkanch ko‘radi, chunki u yovuzning qurolidir. Ular hasadni ko‘ngilda saqlamaydilar va o‘zini ulug‘lashga berilmaydilar, chunki bular Xudo va insonning dushmaniga xos xususiyatlardir. Ular josuslar sifatida topilmaydilar; chunki Shayton Iso ga qarshi bu ishni qilishda nafratlangan yahudiylardan foydalangan. Ular birodarlarini savollar seli bilan ta’qib qilmaydilar, xuddi yahudiylar Masihni Uning so‘zlarida tuzoqqa tushirish va Uni ko‘p narsalar haqida gapirtirib, biror so‘zi uchun Uni aybdor qilish maqsadida kuzatganlaridek.” Home Missionary, 1894-yil 1-sentyabr.
