John the Baptist was a connecting link prophet.

Yahyo Cho‘mdiruvchi bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘in bo‘lgan payg‘ambar edi.

The prophet John was the connecting link between the two dispensations. As God’s representative he stood forth to show the relation of the law and the prophets to the Christian dispensation. He was the lesser light, which was to be followed by a greater. The mind of John was illuminated by the Holy Spirit, that he might shed light upon his people; but no other light ever has shone or ever will shine so clearly upon fallen man as that which emanated from the teaching and example of Jesus. Christ and His mission had been but dimly understood as typified in the shadowy sacrifices. Even John had not fully comprehended the future, immortal life through the Saviour.” The Desire of Ages, 220.

“Payg‘ambar Yuhanno ikki iqtisodning o‘zaro bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘ini edi. U Xudoning vakili sifatida qonun va payg‘ambarlarning masihiy iqtisodga bo‘lgan munosabatini ko‘rsatish uchun oldinga chiqdi. U kichikroq nur edi, undan keyin esa buyukroq nur kelishi lozim edi. Yuhannoning aqli Muqaddas Ruh tomonidan yoritildi, toki u o‘z xalqiga nur sochsın; ammo Iso ta’limoti va namunasi orqali taralgan nurdek ravshan bir nur halok bo‘lgan inson ustiga na ilgari hech qachon porlagan, na keyin porlaydi. Masih va Uning missiyasi faqat soyali qurbonliklarda oldindan ifodalangani kabi xira tushunilgan edi. Hatto Yuhannoning o‘zi ham Najotkor orqali keladigan kelajakdagi, o‘lmas hayotni to‘liq anglamagan edi.” Asrlar Orzusi, 220.

Jesus was also a connecting link prophet.

Iso ham bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘in bo‘lgan payg‘ambar edi.

“Christ has led the way from earth to heaven. He forms the connecting link between the two worlds. He brings the love and condescension of God to man, and brings man up through His merits to meet the reconciliation of God. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. It is hard work to follow on, step by step, painfully and slowly, onward and upward, in the path of purity and holiness. But Christ has made ample provision to impart new vigor and divine strength at every advance step in the divine life. This is the knowledge and experience that the hands in the office all want, and must have, or they daily bring reproach upon the cause of Christ.” Testimonies, volume 3, 193.

“Masih yer yuzidan samoga yo‘l ochib berdi. U bu ikki olamni bog‘lab turuvchi rishtadir. U Xudoning sevgisi va pastga tushib marhamat ko‘rsatishini insonga olib keladi, hamda O‘zining xizmatlari orqali insonni Xudoning yarashuviga ro‘baro‘ bo‘lish uchun yuksaltiradi. Masih yo‘l, haqiqat va hayotdir. Poklik va muqaddaslik yo‘lida, azob bilan va sekin, qadam-baqadam, oldinga va yuqoriga qarab borib ergashish og‘ir mehnatdir. Ammo Masih ilohiy hayotdagi har bir olg‘a qadamda yangi tetiklik va ilohiy quvvat ato etish uchun yetarli darajada ta’minot yaratgan. Idorada xizmat qiluvchi barcha kishilar xohlaydigan va albatta ega bo‘lishi kerak bo‘lgan bilim va tajriba ana shudir; aks holda, ular har kuni Masihning ishiga isnod keltiradilar.” Testimonies, 3-jild, 193-bet.

John the Baptist’s prophetic work included connecting the dispensation of the earthly to the heavenly sanctuary. The first words John said when he first saw Jesus was:

Yahyo cho‘mdiruvchining bashoratli xizmati yerdagi davrni samoviy ma’bad bilan bog‘lashni o‘z ichiga olgan edi. Yahyo Isoni ilk bor ko‘rganida aytgan dastlabki so‘zlar shunday edi:

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29.

Ertasi kuni Yahyo Iso o‘zining oldiga kelayotganini ko‘rib, dedi: “Mana, dunyoning gunohini O‘z zimmasiga olib ketuvchi Xudoning Qo‘zisi.” Yuhanno 1:29.

But even though John was to identify the transition from ancient Israel unto spiritual Israel, his understanding of that transition was limited.

Ammo Yuhanno qadimgi Isroildan ruhiy Isroilga o‘tishni aniqlab berishi kerak bo‘lgan bo‘lsa-da, uning bu o‘tish haqidagi tushunchasi cheklangan edi.

“Said Christ, in vindication of John, ‘But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.’ Not only was John a prophet to foretell future events, but he was a child of promise, filled with the Holy Spirit from his birth, and was ordained of God to execute a special work as a reformer, in preparing a people for the reception of Christ. The prophet John was the connecting link between the two dispensations.

Masih Yuhannoning haqqini oqlab, shunday dedi: «Ammo sizlar nimani ko‘rish uchun chiqqan edingiz? Payg‘ambarnimi? Ha, sizlarga aytaman, payg‘ambardan ham ulug‘rog‘ini». Yuhanno nafaqat kelajakdagi voqealarni oldindan aytuvchi payg‘ambar edi, balki u va’da farzandi bo‘lib, tug‘ilganidan boshlab Muqaddas Ruhga to‘lgan edi va Masihni qabul qilishga bir xalqni tayyorlash uchun islohotchi sifatida alohida bir ishni bajarishga Xudo tomonidan tayinlangan edi. Yuhanno payg‘ambar ikki ahd davri o‘rtasidagi bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘in edi.

“The religion of the Jews, in consequence of their departure from God, consisted mostly in ceremony. John was the lesser light, which was to be followed by a greater light. He was to shake the confidence of the people in their traditions, and call their sins to their remembrance, and lead them to repentance; that they might be prepared to appreciate the work of Christ. God communicated to John by inspiration, illuminating the prophet that he might remove the superstition and darkness from the minds of the honest Jews, which had been, through false teachings for generations, gathering upon them.

Yahudiylarning dini, ularning Xudodan yuz o‘girganliklari oqibatida, asosan marosimlardan iborat bo‘lib qolgan edi. Yuhanno kichikroq nur edi va undan keyin buyukroq Nur kelishi kerak edi. U xalqning o‘z an’analariga bo‘lgan ishonchini larzaga solishi, ularning gunohlarini yodlariga keltirishi va ularni tavbaga chorlashi kerak edi; toki ular Masihning ishini qadrlashga tayyor bo‘lsinlar. Xudo Yuhannoga ilhom orqali vahiy berdi, payg‘ambarni yoritdi, toki u avlodlar davomida soxta ta’limotlar tufayli halol yahudiylarning ongiga to‘planib kelgan xurofot va zulmatni ulardan daf qilsin.

“The least disciple that followed Jesus, that witnessed his miracles, and listened to his divine lessons of instruction, and heard the comforting words which fell from his lips, was more privileged than John the Baptist, for he had a clearer light. No other light has shone, or ever will shine, upon the intellect of sinful, fallen man, save that which was, and is, communicated through Him who is the light of the world. Christ and his mission had been but dimly understood through the shadowy sacrifices. Even John thought that the reign of Christ would be in Jerusalem, and that he would set up a temporal kingdom, the subjects of which would be holy.” Review and Herald, April 8, 1873.

“Isoning eng kichik shogirdi ham — Isoga ergashgan, Uning mo‘jizalariga guvoh bo‘lgan, Uning ilohiy ta’lim saboqlarini tinglagan va Uning lablaridan chiqqan taskin so‘zlarini eshitgan kishi — Yahyo Cho‘mdiruvchidan ko‘ra ko‘proq imtiyozga ega edi, chunki u yanada ravshan nurga ega bo‘lgan. Gunohkor, qulagan inson aqliga dunyoning Nuri bo‘lgan Zot orqali yetkazilgan nurdan boshqa hech qanday nur porlamagan ham, porlamaydi ham. Masih va Uning missiyasi faqat soya-sifat qurbonliklar orqali xira anglangan edi. Hatto Yahyoning o‘zi ham Masihning hukmronligi Quddusda bo‘ladi va U muvaqqat shohlik o‘rnatadi, uning fuqarolari esa muqaddas bo‘ladi, deb o‘ylagan edi.” Review and Herald, April 8, 1873.

The apostle Paul was also a connecting link prophet that was to identify the prophetic applications of the literal transitioning unto the spiritual. He understood that literal Jerusalem was no longer the Jerusalem of prophecy, for it then had transitioned unto heavenly Jerusalem.

Havoriy Pavlus ham so‘zma-so‘zdan ruhiylikka o‘tishning bashoratiy tatbiqlarini aniqlab berishi lozim bo‘lgan bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘in payg‘ambar edi. U shuni anglagan ediki, so‘zma-so‘z Quddus endi bashoratdagi Quddus emas edi, chunki u o‘sha paytda samoviy Quddusga o‘tgan edi.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Galatians 4:25, 26.

Chunki bu Hojar Arabistondagi Sinay tog‘idir va hozirgi Quddusga muvofiq keladi; u o‘z farzandlari bilan qullikdadir. Ammo yuqoridagi Quddus ozoddir; u barchamizning onamizdir. Galatiyaliklarga 4:25, 26.

In chapter two of 2 Thessalonians, which we have been considering, Paul identified that literal pagan Rome was the power that restrained spiritual papal Rome from ascending to the throne until the year 538. In the chapter he identifies that the “man of sin” which is seated in the temple of God, was the same “king” that Daniel identified in chapter eleven, verse thirty-six. The proof that the “king of the north” in the last six verses of Daniel eleven is the papacy became the key to establish the framework of truth employed by Future for America from the increase of knowledge in 1989.

Biz ko‘rib chiqayotgan 2 Salonikaliklarga maktubning ikkinchi bobida Pavlus ma’naviy papalik Rimining 538-yilgacha taxtga ko‘tarilishiga to‘sqinlik qilib turgan kuch aynan butparast, so‘zma-so‘z Rim bo‘lganini ko‘rsatdi. U o‘sha bobda Xudoning ma’badida o‘tirgan “gunoh odami” Doniyor o‘n birinchi bob, o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatda aniqlagan o‘sha “shoh”ning o‘zi ekanini ko‘rsatadi. Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobining so‘nggi olti oyatidagi “shimol shohi” papalik ekanining isboti 1989-yildagi bilimning ortishidan boshlab Future for America qo‘llagan haqiqat asosining tuzilishini barpo etish uchun kalitga aylandi.

In the same chapter, Paul identified pagan Rome’s work of restraining the rise of the papacy, until the time when pagan Rome would be taken away, and thus identified that “the daily” in the book of Daniel was pagan Rome. That truth became the very key to establish the framework of truth which produced the increase of knowledge in 1798.

Xuddi shu bobda Pavlus butparast Rimning papalikning yuksalishini tiyib turishdagi ishini, butparast Rim olib tashlanadigan vaqtgacha, ko‘rsatib berdi va shu tariqa Doniyor kitobidagi “doimiy” butparast Rim ekanini aniqladi. Ana shu haqiqat 1798-yilda bilimning ortishiga sabab bo‘lgan haqiqat tuzilmasini barpo etishning ayni kaliti bo‘ldi.

In William Miller’s history the message was proclaimed when a transition from the Philadelphian to the Laodicean movement was to take place. In Future for America’s history the transition from a Laodicean movement unto the Philadelphian movement is now taking place.

Uilyam Miller tarixida xabar Filadelfiya harakatidan Laodikiya harakatiga o‘tish sodir bo‘lishi kerak bo‘lgan paytda e’lon qilingan edi. Future for America tarixida esa hozir Laodikiya harakatidan Filadelfiya harakatiga o‘tish sodir bo‘lmoqda.

The truth that Paul set forth in 2 Thessalonians that identified the transition from literal pagan Rome unto spiritual papal Rome became the framework for Miller’s prophetic understanding. Both John the Baptist and Paul were raised up to explain the transition from literal to spiritual. William Miller was typified by John the Baptist and in his work it was essential that he recognized the relation and transition of pagan and papal Rome, the transition that John was raised up to identify.

Pavlus 2 Salonikaliklarga maktubida bayon qilgan, so‘zma-so‘z butparast Rimdan ruhiy papalik Rimiga o‘tishni aniqlab bergan haqiqat Millerning payg‘ambarlik haqidagi tushunchasi uchun asos bo‘ldi. Yahyo Cho‘mdiruvchi ham, Pavlus ham so‘zma-so‘zdan ruhiyga o‘tishni tushuntirish uchun ko‘tarib chiqilgan edilar. Uilyam Miller Yahyo Cho‘mdiruvchi orqali timsollangan edi va uning ishida Yahyoning aniqlab berish uchun ko‘tarib chiqilgan o‘sha o‘tish — butparast va papalik Rim o‘rtasidagi munosabat hamda o‘tishni anglab yetishi nihoyatda muhim edi.

There are five references to “the daily” in the book of Daniel, and they always precede a symbol of the papal power. In the context of the prophetic transition we are considering, all five references include the transition from literal Rome to spiritual Rome. “The daily” in the book of Daniel is one of the truths represented upon Habakkuk’s two tables, and is therefore a foundational truth that was to be defended; a truth which would ultimately become covered up with false and counterfeit jewels and coins. It is no accident that every truth represented upon the two sacred charts has direct inspired endorsements within the writings of Ellen White. To reject any of the foundational truths (including “the daily”), is to simultaneously reject the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy.

Doniyor kitobida “kundalik”ka beshta ishora bor va ular har doim papalik hokimiyatining ramzidan oldin keladi. Biz ko‘rib chiqayotgan bashoratli o‘tish kontekstida, bu besh ishoraning barchasi so‘zma-so‘z Rimdan ruhiy Rimga o‘tishni o‘z ichiga oladi. Doniyor kitobidagi “kundalik” Habakkukning ikki lavhasida ifodalangan haqiqatlardan biridir, va shuning uchun u himoya qilinishi lozim bo‘lgan asosiy haqiqatdir; oxir-oqibat soxta va qalbaki javohirlar hamda tangalar bilan qoplanib ketadigan haqiqatdir. Ikki muqaddas jadvalda ifodalangan har bir haqiqat Ellen Uaytning yozuvlari ichida ilhomlangan bevosita tasdiqlarga ega ekani tasodif emas. Asosiy haqiqatlarning birortasini (jumladan “kundalik”ni) rad etish — ayni paytda Bashorat Ruhining hokimiyatini ham rad etishdir.

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.

“Shunda men ‘Doimiy’ga oid masalada shuni ko‘rdimki, ‘qurbonlik’ so‘zi inson donoligi tomonidan qo‘shib qo‘yilgan bo‘lib, matnga tegishli emas; va Rabbiy uning to‘g‘ri tushunchasini hukm soati haqidagi xitobni e’lon qilganlarga bergan. 1844 yildan oldin, birlik mavjud bo‘lgan paytda, deyarli hamma ‘Doimiy’ haqidagi to‘g‘ri qarashda birlashgan edi; ammo 1844 yildan beri, bu chalkashlik ichida, boshqa qarashlar qabul qilindi, va buning ortidan zulmat hamda chalkashlik keldi.” Review and Herald, November 1, 1850.

Those “who gave the judgment hour cry,” understood “the daily” as a symbol of paganism, and/or pagan Rome. Their understanding included the fact that they understood that the word “sacrifice” did not belong in the passage in Daniel, where it had been added by the translators (by human wisdom) of the King James Bible. The pioneer understanding also included that “the daily” was always presented in connection with one of the two symbols of the papal power, and that paganism (“the daily”), always preceded the papal symbol. They were always identified in the sequence in which they arrived into prophetic history. The books of Daniel and Revelation never deviate from the historical sequence of paganism preceding papalism, and when the book of Revelation introduces the third desolating power of the false prophet, that sequence is always upheld.

“hukm soati” faryodini berganlar, “kundalik”ni butparastlikning va/yoki butparast Rimning ramzi deb tushunganlar. Ularning tushunchasi shuni ham o‘z ichiga olardiki, Doniyordagi matnda “qurbonlik” so‘zi aslida tegishli emas edi, balki u King James Muqaddas Kitobi tarjimonlari tomonidan (insoniy donolik bilan) qo‘shib qo‘yilgan edi. Kashshoflarning tushunchasi yana shuni ham o‘z ichiga olardiki, “kundalik” doimo papalik hokimiyatining ikki ramzidan biri bilan bog‘liq holda taqdim etilgan va butparastlik (“kundalik”) har doim papalik ramzidan oldin kelgan. Ular har doim bashoratli tarixga kirib kelgan tartibda aniqlab ko‘rsatilgan. Doniyor va Vahiy kitoblari butparastlikning papalikka oldin kelishi haqidagi tarixiy ketma-ketlikdan hech qachon chetga chiqmaydi; Vahiy kitobi soxta payg‘ambarning vayron qiluvchi uchinchi hokimiyatini taqdim etganida ham, bu ketma-ketlik har doim saqlanib qoladi.

Without Paul’s instruction that the literal things of prophecy transitioned to the spiritual in the time period of the cross, a dilemma is produced with Christ’s prediction of the destruction of Jerusalem found in all the gospels except John. The two symbols of the papacy connected with “the daily” in the book of Daniel are the abomination of desolation and the transgression of desolation. Those two symbols represent the mark of the beast (the abomination) and the image of the beast (the transgression).

Pavlusning bashoratning zohiriy narsalari xoch davri vaqt oralig‘ida ruhiy narsalarga o‘tganini bildiruvchi ta’limotisiz, Yuhannodan boshqa barcha Injillarda uchraydigan Masihning Quddusning vayron qilinishi haqidagi bashorati bilan bog‘liq bir mushkul holat yuzaga keladi. Doniyor kitobida “kundalik” bilan bog‘langan papalikning ikki ramzi — vayronagarchilik jirkanchligi va vayronagarchilikdagi tajovuzdir. Bu ikki ramz hayvonning tamg‘asini (jirkanchlik) va hayvonning suratini (tajovuz) ifodalaydi.

The transgression that allows the papacy to murder those it deems as heretics is the combination of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. Thus, Daniel represents the combination of church and state which is the image of the papal beast, as the transgression of desolation. The Bible identifies idolatry as an abomination, and all the idolatry of the papal power is represented with its idol sabbath, which John calls the mark of the beast, and Daniel calls the abomination that maketh desolate.

Papalikka o‘zlari bid’atchi deb bilganlarni o‘ldirishga imkon beradigan gunoh — bu cherkov va davlatning birlashuvi bo‘lib, bu munosabatda cherkov hukmronlik qiladi. Shu bois, Daniel papalik maxluqining surati bo‘lgan cherkov va davlat birlashuvini vayron qiluvchi gunoh sifatida tasvirlaydi. Muqaddas Kitob butparastlikni jirkanchlik deb belgilaydi, va papalik hokimiyatining butun butparastligi uning butiy shanbasi orqali ifodalanadi; Yuhanno buni maxluqning tamg‘asi deb ataydi, Daniel esa vayron qiluvchi jirkanchlik deb ataydi.

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered. Daniel 8:9–12.

Va ulardan biridan janub tomoniga, sharq tomoniga va go‘zal yurt tomoniga o‘ta qudratli bo‘lib o‘sib chiqqan kichik bir shox paydo bo‘ldi. U hatto osmon lashkarigacha ulug‘aydi; va u lashkarning hamda yulduzlarning ba’zilarini yerga uloqtirib tashladi va ularni oyoq osti qildi. Ha, u o‘zini hatto lashkarning Shahzodasigacha yuksaltirdi, va U orqali kundalik qurbonlik olib tashlandi, hamda Uning muqaddas maskanining joyi qulatildi. Va gunohkorlik sababli kundalik qurbonlikka qarshi unga bir lashkar berildi, va u haqiqatni yerga uloqtirdi; u ish yuritdi va ravnaq topdi. Doniyor 8:9–12.

We will address these verses in greater detail in another article, but in verse eleven, the power that magnified itself against Christ was pagan Rome, when they attempted to kill him at his birth and then finally did so at the cross. The verse states that “by him” (pagan Rome), “the daily was taken away.” The Hebrew word translated as “taken away” is “rum,” and it means “to lift up and exalt”. Pagan Rome would lift up and exalt the religion of paganism, and they did that very thing in history. This is why they are called “pagan” Rome.

Bu oyatlarni boshqa bir maqolada batafsilroq ko‘rib chiqamiz, biroq o‘n birinchi oyatda Masihga qarshi o‘zini ulug‘lagan qudrat butparast Rim edi; ular U tug‘ilgan paytda Uni o‘ldirishga uringanlar va oxir-oqibat xochda shuni amalga oshirganlar. Oyatda: “u orqali” (butparast Rim orqali) “kundalik olib tashlandi”, deb aytiladi. “Olib tashlandi” deb tarjima qilingan ibroniycha so‘z “rum” bo‘lib, uning ma’nosi “ko‘tarish va ulug‘lash”dir. Butparast Rim butparastlik dinini ko‘tarib, ulug‘lar edi va ular tarixda aynan shunday qilganlar. Shu sababdan ular “butparast” Rim deb ataladi.

The next verse identifies that papal Rome, was given a “host” (military power), that was against, or was to overcome “the daily” (paganism). This also is a fact of history, for military strength was employed by the papacy (though she never has her own army), to overcome the restraint placed upon her rise to power. That power came from pagan Rome. The military power that she employed was given unto her through “transgression,” for the transgression that allowed her to control the armies of the kings that placed her on the throne in the year 538, was the transgression of the combination of church and state. First pagan Rome is addressed in verse eleven, informing the student that pagan Rome would stand up against Christ, and that it would exalt the religion of paganism.

Keyingi oyat papa Rimiga “lashkar” (harbiy qudrat) berilganini ko‘rsatadi; bu qudrat “kundalik”ka (butparastlikka) qarshi edi yoki uni yengib o‘tishi kerak edi. Bu ham tarixiy haqiqatdir, chunki papa hokimiyati (garchi u hech qachon o‘z qo‘shiniga ega bo‘lmagan bo‘lsa-da) o‘zining hokimiyat tepasiga ko‘tarilishiga qo‘yilgan to‘siqni yengib o‘tish uchun harbiy kuchdan foydalangan. Bu qudrat butparast Rimdan kelgan edi. U foydalangan harbiy qudrat unga “gunoh” orqali berilgan edi, chunki uni 538-yilda taxtga o‘tqazgan shohlarning qo‘shinlarini nazorat qilishiga imkon bergan gunoh — cherkov bilan davlatning birikishi gunohi edi. Avvalo, o‘n birinchi oyatda butparast Rim haqida so‘z yuritilib, tadqiqotchiga butparast Rim Masihga qarshi bosh ko‘tarishini va butparastlik dinini yuksaltirishini bildiradi.

The next verse describes the transgression of the combination of church and state that allowed the papacy to overcome and remove the restraint that pagan Rome had exercised against her. History upholds the application of both those verses. “The daily” represents either pagan Rome, the power that stood against Christ, or the religion of paganism that was exalted by pagan Rome. The symbol of “the daily” is then followed by the papacy, as it identifies the transgression of church and state that is what empowers the papacy with an army to do its dirty work. Daniel’s third use of “the daily,” is the question that produces the answer, that is the central pillar of Adventism.

Keyingi oyat jamoat va davlatning birlashuvi sodir etgan, papalikka butparast Rim uning ustidan amalga oshirgan to‘siqni yengib, olib tashlashiga imkon bergan gunohni tasvirlaydi. Tarix bu ikki oyatning tatbiqini tasdiqlaydi. “Doimiy” yo Masihga qarshi turgan qudrat — butparast Rimni, yoki butparast Rim ulug‘lagan butparastlik dinini ifodalaydi. Shundan so‘ng “doimiy”ning ramzi papalik bilan davom ettiriladi, chunki u papalikni o‘zining qabih ishlarini bajarish uchun qo‘shin bilan quvvatlantiradigan narsa bo‘lgan jamoat va davlatning gunohkor birlashuvini aniqlab beradi. Doniyorning “doimiy” atamasidan uchinchi bor foydalanishi esa, Adventizmning markaziy ustuni bo‘lgan javobni keltirib chiqaradigan savoldir.

Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? Daniel 8:13.

So‘ng men bir muqaddas zotning so‘zlayotganini eshitdim, va boshqa bir muqaddas zot so‘zlayotgan o‘sha muayyan muqaddas zotga dedi: Kundalik qurbonlik va vayron qiluvchi gunoh haqidagi vahiy, ham ma’badni, ham lashkarni oyoq osti qilinishga topshirish uchun, qachongacha davom etadi? Daniel 8:13.

In this verse, the question is asked of how long shall the vision be, thus asking for an answer that represents duration, and not a point in time. The question is not on what date will the vision be fulfilled, but what is the duration of the vision. The verse does not ask “When?”, it asks, “How long?” The vision is about the desolating powers of paganism, represented as “the daily,” and papalism as represented by the transgression of the papacy that is accomplished when she commits fornication with the kings of the earth. Those two desolating powers of paganism followed by papalism were to trample down the sanctuary and the host for a period of “seven times.”

Ushbu oyatda vahiy qancha vaqt davom etishi haqida savol beriladi; shu tariqa, vaqtning muayyan bir nuqtasini emas, balki davomiylikni ifodalovchi javob so‘raladi. Savol vahiyning qaysi sanada amalga oshishi haqida emas, balki vahiyning davomiyligi haqidadir. Oyat “Qachon?” deb so‘ramaydi, balki “Qancha vaqt?” deb so‘raydi. Vahiy butparastlikning vayron qiluvchi kuchlari haqida bo‘lib, ular “kundalik” sifatida ifodalangan; shuningdek, papalik haqida bo‘lib, u yer yuzining shohlari bilan zino qilganida amalga oshadigan papalikning gunohi sifatida ifodalangan. Butparastlikning ana shu ikki vayron qiluvchi kuchi, undan keyin esa papalik, “yetti zamon” davomida muqaddas maskanni va lashkarni oyoq osti qilishi kerak edi.

It is important to recognize that the trampling down of the literal sanctuary which began in the time of Babylon, and continued through to the destruction of Jerusalem by pagan Rome in 70 AD, was done by pagan powers from the beginning of the history to the end. Thus, it was literal paganism in the plural that trampled down the literal sanctuary and literal host (God’s people). But it was spiritual Rome that trampled down spiritual Jerusalem and spiritual Israel.

Shuni anglash muhimki, Bobul davrida boshlangan va milodiy 70-yilda butparast Rim tomonidan Quddusning vayron qilinishigacha davom etgan tom ma’nodagi muqaddas makonning oyoq osti qilinishi tarixning boshidan oxirigacha butparast kuchlar tomonidan amalga oshirilgan. Demak, tom ma’nodagi muqaddas makon va tom ma’nodagi lashkarni (Xudoning xalqini) oyoq osti qilgan narsa ko‘plikdagi tom ma’nodagi butparastlik edi. Ammo ruhiy Rim ruhiy Quddusni va ruhiy Isroilni oyoq osti qildi.

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Revelation 11:2, 3.

Ammo ma’baddan tashqaridagi hovlini tashlab qo‘y, uni o‘lchama; chunki u g‘ayriyahudiylarga berilgandir; ular muqaddas shaharni qirq ikki oy oyoq osti qiladilar. Va Men O‘zimning ikki guvohimga qudrat beraman, ular qanorga burkanib, bir ming ikki yuz oltmish kun davomida bashorat qiladilar. Vahiy 11:2, 3.

John the Baptist was a connecting link prophet that identified the change of dispensation from the earthly sanctuary to the heavenly, without knowing the fullness of his work. Paul was a connecting link prophet that identified the change of dispensation from literal Israel (the host) to spiritual Israel. The Jerusalem that was trampled down for forty-two months was spiritual Jerusalem.

Suvga cho‘mdiruvchi Yuhanno o‘z ishining to‘liqligini bilmagan holda, yerdagi muqaddas maskandan samoviy muqaddas maskanga bo‘lgan davr o‘zgarishini aniqlab bergan bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘in payg‘ambar edi. Pavlus esa so‘zma-so‘z Isroildan (lashkardan) ruhiy Isroilga bo‘lgan davr o‘zgarishini aniqlab bergan bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘in payg‘ambar edi. Qirq ikki oy davomida oyoq osti qilingan Quddus ruhiy Quddus edi.

“The periods here mentioned—forty and two months,” and ‘a thousand two hundred and threescore days’—are the same, alike representing the time in which the church of Christ was to suffer oppression from Rome. The 1260 years of papal supremacy began in A.D. 538, and would therefore terminate in 1798. At that time a French army entered Rome and made the pope a prisoner, and he died in exile. Though a new pope was soon afterward elected, the papal hierarchy has never since been able to wield the power which it before possessed.” The Great Controversy, 266.

“Bu yerda tilga olingan davrlar — «qirq ikki oy» va «ming ikki yuz oltmish kun» — bir xil bo‘lib, ikkalasi ham Masih jamoati Rim tomonidan zulm ostida qolishi kerak bo‘lgan vaqtni ifodalaydi. Papalik ustunligining 1260 yili milodiy 538-yilda boshlangan va shu bois 1798-yilda nihoyasiga yetishi kerak edi. O‘sha vaqtda fransuz qo‘shini Rimga kirib, papani asir qildi, va u surgunda vafot etdi. Garchi ko‘p o‘tmay yangi papa saylangan bo‘lsa-da, o‘sha vaqtdan beri papalik iyerarxiyasi avval ega bo‘lgan hokimiyatni hech qachon yana qo‘llay olmadi.” The Great Controversy, 266.

Paul identified that at the transition which took place in the history of the cross, spiritual Jerusalem which “is above,” became the city which God chose to place his name, and literal Jerusalem ceased to be the Jerusalem of Bible prophecy.

Pavlus xoch tarixida yuz bergan o‘tish davrida “yuqoridagi” ruhiy Quddus Xudo O‘z nomini joylashtirish uchun tanlagan shahar bo‘lib qolganini, so‘zma-so‘z Quddus esa Muqaddas Kitob bashoratidagi Quddus bo‘lishdan to‘xtaganini ta’kidladi.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Galatians 4:25, 26.

Chunki bu Hojar Arabistondagi Sinay tog‘idir va hozirgi Quddusga muvofiq keladi; u o‘z bolalari bilan birga qullikdadir. Lekin yuqoridagi Quddus ozoddir, u barchamizning onamizdir. Galatiyaliklarga 4:25, 26.

This truth is essential to understand correctly, and the false application of literal Jerusalem as the symbol of Bible prophecy is part of the deception created by the Jesuits to undermine the truth that the pope of Rome is the antichrist. That false teaching produces a belief within apostate Protestantism that allows them to incorrectly look to the modern Jewish nation of Israel as a symbol of prophecy. Literal Jerusalem ceased to be God’s Jerusalem in the time of the cross.

Bu haqiqatni to‘g‘ri anglash nihoyatda muhimdir, va Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining timsoli sifatida so‘zma-so‘z Quddusni qo‘llashdagi soxta tatbiq — Rim papasi masihga qarshi ekanligi haqidagi haqiqatni yemirish uchun yezuitlar tomonidan yaratilgan aldovning bir qismidir. O‘sha soxta ta’lim murtad protestantizm ichida shunday bir e’tiqodni yuzaga keltiradiki, bu ularga zamonaviy yahudiy Isroil xalqiga bashoratning timsoli sifatida noto‘g‘ri qarash imkonini beradi. So‘zma-so‘z Quddus xoch davrida Xudoning Quddusi bo‘lishdan to‘xtagan.

“The city of Jerusalem is no longer a sacred place. The curse of God is upon it because of the rejection and crucifixion of Christ. A dark blot of guilt rests upon it, and never again will it be a sacred place until it has been cleansed by the purifying fires of heaven. At the time when this sin-cursed earth is purified from every stain of sin, Christ will again stand upon the Mount of Olives. As His feet rest upon it, it will part asunder, and become a great plain, prepared for the city of God.” Review and Herald, July 30, 1901.

“Quddus shahri endi muqaddas maskan emas. Masihni rad etgani va xochga mixlagani sababli Xudoning la’nati uning ustidadir. Aybdorlikning qorong‘i dog‘i uning ustida yotibdi, va osmonning poklovchi olovlari bilan poklanmaguncha u endi hech qachon muqaddas maskan bo‘lmaydi. Gunoh la’natlagan bu yer yuzasi gunohning har bir dog‘idan poklanadigan vaqtda, Masih yana Zaytun tog‘i ustida turadi. Uning oyoqlari uning ustiga qo‘nganda, u ikkiga yoriladi va Xudo shahri uchun tayyorlangan ulkan tekislikka aylanadi.” Review and Herald, July 30, 1901.

The relevance of the distinction between literal Jerusalem and spiritual Jerusalem will be addressed as we consider Christ’s prophecy of the end of the world. The fourth time Daniel identifies “the daily,” is in chapter eleven.

Masihning dunyoning oxiri haqidagi bashoratini ko‘rib chiqarkanmiz, so‘zma-so‘z Quddus bilan ruhiy Quddus o‘rtasidagi farqning ahamiyati yoritiladi. Doniyor “kundalik”ni to‘rtinchi marta o‘n birinchi bobda tilga oladi.

And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 11:31.

Va qo‘shinlar uning tomonida turib, qudratli muqaddas joyni harom qilurlar, kundalik qurbonlikni olib tashlarlar va vayron qiluvchi jirkanch narsani o‘rnaturlar. Daniel 11:31.

This verse is identifying the work of pagan Rome in placing the papacy on the throne of the earth in the year 538. The “arms” represent the military strength of pagan Rome that stood up for the papacy beginning with Clovis, king of the Franks in the year 496. Different European kings worked for the placement of the papacy following Clovis, but the verse is identifying four things the European kings (arms) did for the papacy, once they transgressed by forming a church and state alliance with the whore of Tyre.

Bu oyat milodiy 538-yilda butparast Rimning papalikni yer yuzining taxtiga o‘tqazishdagi ishini ko‘rsatmoqda. “Qo‘llar” milodiy 496-yilda franklar qiroli Xlodvigdan boshlab papalikni himoya qilgan butparast Rimning harbiy qudratini ifodalaydi. Xlodvigdan keyin turli Yevropa qirollari papalikni o‘rnatish yo‘lida xizmat qildilar, ammo bu oyat Yevropa qirollari (“qo‘llar”) Tir fohishasi bilan cherkov va davlat ittifoqini tuzib, gunohga botganlaridan so‘ng, papalik uchun qilgan to‘rtta ishni ko‘rsatmoqda.

Once they stood up for the papacy, they “polluted” or destroyed the city of Rome, which was the symbol of strength of both pagan and papal Rome. The pollution of the verse was carried out repeatedly through the years, as the city of Rome was brought under continuous military attacks. Those European kings (the arms), would also “take away the daily.” The Hebrew word translated as “take away” in this verse is not “rum,” as it was in chapter eight. In this verse, the word translated as “take away,” is “sur,” and it means to remove. The arms of the European kings would remove the pagan resistance to the rise of the papacy in the year 508. Then in the year 538, those arms would place the papacy on the throne of the earth. Then at the Counsel of Orleans, in that very year, the papacy implemented a Sunday law.

Ular papalikni qo‘llab-quvvatlash uchun o‘rin olganlaridan so‘ng, butparast Rimning ham, papalik Rimining ham qudrat ramzi bo‘lgan Rim shahrini “bulg‘adilar” yoki vayron qildilar. Oyatdagi bu bulg‘ash yillar davomida qayta-qayta amalga oshirildi, chunki Rim shahri uzluksiz harbiy hujumlar ostiga keltirildi. O‘sha Yevropa shohlari (qo‘llar) yana “doimiy”ni ham “olib tashlaydilar”. Bu oyatda “olib tashlamoq” deb tarjima qilingan ibroniycha so‘z sakkizinchi bobdagi kabi “rum” emas. Bu oyatda “olib tashlamoq” deb tarjima qilingan so‘z “sur” bo‘lib, u olib tashlash ma’nosini anglatadi. Yevropa shohlarining qo‘llari 508-yilda papalikning yuksalishiga qarshi bo‘lgan butparast qarshilikni olib tashlaydi. So‘ng 538-yilda o‘sha qo‘llar papalikni yer yuzining taxtiga o‘tqazadi. Keyin esa, aynan o‘sha yili, Orlean Kengashida papalik yakshanba to‘g‘risidagi qonunni joriy etdi.

Sunday as a day of worship is what Sister White calls the “idol” sabbath, and idolatry is the perfect biblical definition of the word “abomination”. In the year 538, the arms of pagan Rome placed the abomination that maketh desolate.

Yakshanba ibodat kuni sifatida Sister White “but” shanbasi deb atagan narsadir, va butparastlik “jirkanchlik” so‘zining Muqaddas Kitobdagi mukammal ta’rifidir. 538-yilda butparast Rimning qo‘llari vayron qiluvchi jirkanchlikni o‘rnatdi.

“All who will exalt and worship the idol Sabbath, a day that God has not blessed, help the devil and his angels with all the power of their God-given ability, which they have perverted to a wrong use. Inspired by another spirit, which blinds their discernment, they cannot see that the exaltation of Sunday is entirely the institution of the Catholic Church.” Selected Messages, book 3, 423.

“Xudo baraka bermagan bir kun — but sanasini ulug‘lab, unga sajda qiladiganlarning barchasi, Xudo ato etgan qobiliyatlarining butun qudrati bilan iblisga va uning farishtalariga yordam beradilar; bu qobiliyatlarni ular noto‘g‘ri maqsadda ishlatish uchun buzib qo‘yganlar. Ularning fahm-farosatini ko‘r qiladigan boshqa bir ruh tomonidan ilhomlantirilganliklari sababli, ular yakshanbani ulug‘lash butunlay Katolik Cherkovining muassasasi ekanini ko‘ra olmaydilar.” Selected Messages, 3-kitob, 423.

Prophecy and history uphold the application we have just identified for verse thirty-one. When we say prophecy upholds this application, we are referring to the fact that there are other prophecies which address these same facts, without bringing them into the discussion at this time. The fifth and final time Daniel uses “the daily,” is found in chapter twelve.

Payg‘ambarlik va tarix biz hozirgina o‘ttiz birinchi oyat uchun aniqlagan qo‘llanmani tasdiqlaydi. Payg‘ambarlik bu qo‘llanmani tasdiqlaydi, deganimizda, biz ayni shu haqiqatlarga doir, garchi hozir ularni muhokamaga kiritmayotgan bo‘lsak-da, boshqa bashoratlar ham mavjudligini nazarda tutmoqdamiz. Doniyor “kundalik” iborasini qo‘llagan beshinchi va oxirgi o‘rin o‘n ikkinchi bobda uchraydi.

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. Daniel 12:11, 12.

Kundalik qurbonlik olib tashlanadigan va vayron qiluvchi jirkanchlik o‘rnatiladigan vaqtdan boshlab ming ikki yuz to‘qson kun bo‘lur. Ming uch yuz o‘ttiz besh kunga yetib borib, sabr bilan kutgan kishi baxtlidir. Daniel 12:11, 12.

Prophecy and history uphold that in the year 508, the resistance to the rise of the papacy essentially ended, when the last of three geographical obstacles (the Goths), were plucked up as Daniel chapter seven identifies.

Payg‘ambarlik va tarix shuni tasdiqlaydiki, 508-yilda papalikning yuksalishiga bo‘lgan qarshilik, Doniyorning yettinchi bobida ko‘rsatilganidek, uchta hududiy to‘siqning oxirgisi (gotlar) ildizi bilan sug‘urib tashlanganda, mohiyatan nihoyasiga yetdi.

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Daniel 7:8.

Men shoxlarga qaradim, va mana, ularning orasidan yana bir kichik shox ko‘tarilib chiqdi; uning oldidan avvalgi shoxlardan uchtasi ildizi bilan sug‘urib tashlandi. Va mana, bu shoxda inson ko‘zlariga o‘xshash ko‘zlar va katta-katta so‘zlarni so‘zlaydigan bir og‘iz bor edi. Doniyor 7:8.

The three horns being removed are illustrated on the two sacred tables, and when the third of those three geographical obstacles was driven out of the city of Rome, in the year 508, the resistance against the rise of the papal power was taken away. The setting up referenced in verse eleven, represents the thirty years between 508 and 538. It identifies thirty years where the preparation of establishing the man of sin in the temple of God was accomplished.

Olib tashlangan uchta shox ikki muqaddas lavhada tasvirlangan bo‘lib, o‘sha uch geografik to‘siqdan uchinchisi milodiy 508-yilda Rim shahridan haydab chiqarilganda, papalik hokimiyatining yuksalishiga qarshi turgan qarshilik bartaraf etildi. O‘n birinchi oyatda tilga olingan o‘rnatish 508 va 538-yillar orasidagi o‘ttiz yilni anglatadi. Bu, gunoh odamining Xudoning ma’badida o‘rnatilishiga tayyorgarlik amalga oshirilgan o‘ttiz yilni ko‘rsatadi.

The word translated as “taken away” is also “sur,” which means to remove, and in 508, the resistance against the rise of the papacy was removed (taken away). From that date, twelve hundred and ninety years takes you to 1798, and the deadly wound of the papacy. Thirteen hundred and thirty-five days takes you to the first disappointment, and the beginning of the tarrying time at the very end of the year 1843. The verse promises a blessing to those who “cometh” to 1843. The word “cometh” means to touch. The first day of 1844, marks the first disappointment, but the last day of 1843, touches the first moment of 1844. The last day of a year touches the first day of the following year. The blessing associated with that date is upheld by history and prophecy.

“olib tashlangan” deb tarjima qilingan so‘z yana “sur” bo‘lib, uning ma’nosi olib tashlamoqdir; 508-yilda esa papalikning ko‘tarilishiga qarshi qarshilik olib tashlandi (olib qo‘yildi). O‘sha sanadan boshlab ming ikki yuz to‘qson yil sizni 1798-yilga va papalikning o‘limli yarasiga olib boradi. Ming uch yuz o‘ttiz besh kun esa sizni birinchi umidsizlikka va 1843-yilning ayni oxiridagi kechikish vaqtining boshlanishiga olib boradi. Bu oyat 1843-yilga “yetib keladiganlar”ga baraka va’da qiladi. “Yetib kelmoq” so‘zi tegmoq ma’nosini bildiradi. 1844-yilning birinchi kuni birinchi umidsizlikni belgilaydi, ammo 1843-yilning oxirgi kuni 1844-yilning ilk lahzasiga tegadi. Bir yilning oxirgi kuni undan keyingi yilning birinchi kuniga tegadi. O‘sha sana bilan bog‘liq baraka tarix va bashorat tomonidan tasdiqlanadi.

We will continue our consideration of the significance of “the daily” as a foundational truth in the next article.

Keyingi maqolada biz “doimiy”ning asosiy haqiqat sifatidagi ahamiyatini ko‘rib chiqishni davom ettiramiz.

“All the messages given from 1840–1844 are to be made forcible now, for there are many people who have lost their bearings. The messages are to go to all the churches.

“1840–1844-yillarda berilgan barcha xabarlar hozir kuchli tarzda ilgari surilishi lozim, chunki o‘z yo‘lini yo‘qotgan odamlar ko‘p. Bu xabarlar barcha jamoatlarga yetkazilishi kerak.

“Christ said, ‘Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them’ [Matthew 13:16, 17]. Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844.

“Masih shunday dedi: ‘Ko‘zlaringiz baxtlidir, chunki ular ko‘radi; quloqlaringiz ham, chunki ular eshitadi. Zero, sizlarga chinini aytaman: ko‘p payg‘ambarlar va solih kishilar sizlar ko‘rayotgan narsalarni ko‘rishni orzu qilganlar, ammo ko‘rmaganlar; va sizlar eshitayotgan narsalarni eshitishni istaganlar, ammo eshitmaganlar’ [Matthew 13:16, 17]. 1843 va 1844 yillarda ko‘rilgan narsalarni ko‘rgan ko‘zlar baxtlidir.

“The message was given. And there should be no delay in repeating the message, for the signs of the times are fulfilling; the closing work must be done. A great work will be done in a short time. A message will soon be given by God’s appointment that will swell into a loud cry. Then Daniel will stand in his lot, to give his testimony.” Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 437.

“Xabar berildi. Va xabarni takrorlashda hech qanday kechikish bo‘lmasligi kerak, chunki zamonning alomatlari bajo bo‘lmoqda; yakunlovchi ish ado etilishi lozim. Qisqa vaqt ichida buyuk bir ish amalga oshiriladi. Tez orada Xudoning tayiniga binoan bir xabar beriladiki, u baland nido darajasiga ko‘tariladi. Shunda Doniyor o‘z ulushida turib, o‘z shahodatini beradi.” Manuscript Releases, 21-jild, 437.
