Gabriel came to Daniel after he had come to understand the seventy years of captivity of the prophecy of Jeremiah, and the oath and curse of Moses.
Jabroil Doniyorning oldiga u Yeremiyo payg‘ambar bashoratidagi yetmish yillik asirlikni hamda Musoning qasami va la’natini tushunib yetganidan keyin keldi.
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. . . . Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. Daniel 9:2, 11–14.
Uning hukmronligining birinchi yilida men, Doniyor, kitoblar orqali yillar sonini angladim; Quddusning vayron bo‘lib yotishi ustidan etmish yilni tamomlash to‘g‘risida Egamizning kalomi Yeremiyo payg‘ambarga kelgan edi.... Ha, butun Isroil Sening qonuningni buzdi, hatto chetga chiqib ketdi, toki Sening ovozingga quloq solmasin; shuning uchun la’nat ustimizga yog‘ildi, va Xudoning quli Musoning qonunida yozilgan qasam ham, chunki biz Unga qarshi gunoh qildik. U bizga qarshi va bizni hukm qilgan hakamlarimizga qarshi aytgan so‘zlarini buyuk bir kulfatni boshimizga keltirish bilan tasdiqladi; chunki butun osmon ostida Quddusning boshiga kelganidek hech narsa sodir bo‘lmagan. Musoning qonunida yozilganidek, bu kulfatlarning hammasi boshimizga keldi; biroq biz o‘z gunohlarimizdan qaytishimiz va Sening haqiqatingni anglashimiz uchun Egamiz Xudoyimiz oldida iltijo qilmadik. Shuning uchun Egamiz bu kulfat ustidan kuzatib turdi va uni boshimizga keltirdi; chunki Egamiz Xudoyimiz O‘zi qiladigan barcha ishlarida adolatlidir; ammo biz Uning ovoziga quloq solmadik. Doniyor 9:2, 11–14.
The word that Daniel used that is translated as “the oath,” is the same word Moses used that is translated as “seven times,” in Leviticus twenty-six. Sister White informs us that in chapter nine, Daniel was seeking to understand the relationship of Jeremiah’s period of seventy years and the period of twenty-three hundred years. Gabriel had been commanded in chapter eight to make Daniel understand the vision of the twenty-three hundred days, and Gabriel is finishing his work when he returns in chapter nine, and informs Daniel to mentally separate the two visions that have been the theme of chapters, seven, eight and also nine. Those two visions are the theme of the “increase of knowledge” that was unsealed in 1798.
Doniyor ishlatgan va “qasam” deb tarjima qilingan so‘z, Muso Levilar yigirma oltinchi bobda ishlatgan va “yetti marta” deb tarjima qilingan ayni o‘sha so‘zdir. Opa Uайт bizga ma’lum qiladiki, to‘qqizinchi bobda Doniyor Yeremiyoning yetmish yillik davri bilan ikki ming uch yuz yillik davr o‘rtasidagi munosabatni anglashga intilayotgan edi. Sakkizinchi bobda Jabroilga Doniyorga ikki ming uch yuz kun haqidagi vahiy-ni tushuntirish amri berilgan edi, va Jabroil to‘qqizinchi bobda qaytib kelib, Doniyorga yettinchi, sakkizinchi hamda to‘qqizinchi boblarning mavzusi bo‘lib kelgan ikki vahiyni aqlan bir-biridan ajratishni bildirganida, o‘z ishini nihoyasiga yetkazadi. Ana shu ikki vahiy 1798-yilda muhrdan yechilgan “bilimning ortishi”ning mavzusidir.
Jeremiah’s seventy years and the “curse” of Moses are both symbols of the “seven times,” as represented by Moses’ “oath,” but Gabriel is going to present the breakdown of the period of twenty-three hundred years. It can only be rightly divided when the relation of the vision (“chazon”) of the trampling down, and the vision (“mareh”) of the appearance are rightly divided. Gabriel began by identifying that a probationary period of four hundred and ninety years was given for the Jews. That period was the same as the four hundred and ninety year period of rebellion which had produced the seventy years of captivity.
Eremiyoning yetmish yili va Musoning “la’nati” ikkalasi ham Musoning “qasami” bilan ifodalangan “yetti vaqt”ning timsollaridir, ammo Jabroil ikki ming uch yuz yillik davrning bo‘linishini taqdim etmoqchi. U faqat oyoq osti qilinish haqidagi vahiy (“chazon”) bilan zohir bo‘lish haqidagi vahiy (“mareh”) o‘rtasidagi munosabat to‘g‘ri ajratilgandagina to‘g‘ri bo‘linishi mumkin. Jabroil avval yahudiylarga to‘rt yuz to‘qson yillik sinov muddati berilganini ko‘rsatishdan boshladi. O‘sha davr yetmish yillik asirlikni keltirib chiqargan to‘rt yuz to‘qson yillik isyon davrining o‘zi edi.
The word “determined” in verse twenty-four addresses the period from the going forth of the third decree in 457 BC, until the stoning of Stephen in 34 AD, but the word “determined” in verses twenty-six and twenty-seven is identifying the desolating powers of paganism and papalism.
Yigirma to‘rtinchi oyatdagi “belgilangan” so‘zi miloddan avvalgi 457-yilda uchinchi farmon e’lon qilingan vaqtdan tortib, milodiy 34-yilda Istefonning toshbo‘ron qilinishigacha bo‘lgan davrga taalluqlidir, biroq yigirma oltinchi va yigirma yettinchi oyatlardagi “belgilangan” so‘zi butparastlik va papalikning vayron qiluvchi kuchlarini ko‘rsatmoqda.
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:26, 27.
Va oltmish ikki haftadan keyin Masih qirqib tashlanur, ammo O‘zi uchun emas; va kelajak bo‘lmish shahzodaning xalqi shaharni va muqaddas joyni vayron qilur; va uning oxiri toshqin bilan bo‘lur, urushning oxirigacha esa vayronagarchiliklar belgilab qo‘yilgandir. Va u bir hafta davomida ko‘plar bilan ahdni mustahkam qilur; va haftaning o‘rtasida u qurbonlik bilan hadyani to‘xtatur, va jirkanchliklarning yoyilishi tufayli uni huvillatib qo‘yur, to belgilangan nihoyatgacha; va belgilab qo‘yilgan narsa huvillab qolgan ustiga yog‘dirilur. Doniyor 9:26, 27.
Gabriel informs Daniel that “after” the “Messiah” was “cut off” the “people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.” Pagan Rome destroyed the “city and sanctuary” in the siege that lasted exactly three and a half years from the year 66 to 70 AD. Gabriel identifies that “the end of the war” would be “with a flood,” and that the war would consist of “desolations.” The war that was accomplished against Jerusalem and the sanctuary was the trampling down that was accomplished by paganism and papalism. The pagan power that would destroy Jerusalem in the beginning was Babylon, but the pagan power that would destroy it after the Messiah was crucified was pagan Rome. But the war against the sanctuary and host was accomplished by two desolating powers, and the second of the two desolating powers in the Scriptures is the papacy.
Jabroil Doniyorga shuni ma’lum qiladiki, “Masih” “qirqib tashlanganidan” “keyin keladigan amirning xalqi shaharni va muqaddas maskanni vayron qiladi.” Butparast Rim milodiy 66-yildan 70-yilgacha aniq uch yarim yil davom etgan qamalda “shahar va muqaddas maskan”ni vayron qildi. Jabroil “urushning oxiri” “to‘fon bilan” bo‘lishini va urush “vayronagarchiliklar”dan iborat bo‘lishini bildiradi. Quddusga va muqaddas maskanga qarshi amalga oshirilgan urush butparastlik va papachilik tomonidan amalga oshirilgan oyoq osti qilinish edi. Dastlab Quddusni vayron qiladigan butparast hokimiyat Bobil edi, ammo Masih xochga mixlanganidan keyin uni vayron qiladigan butparast hokimiyat butparast Rim edi. Lekin muqaddas maskan va lashkarga qarshi urush vayron qiluvchi ikki kuch tomonidan amalga oshirildi, va Muqaddas Yozuvlarda bu ikki vayron qiluvchi kuchning ikkinchisi papachilikdir.
The papacy is the power represented as the “overflowing scourge,” it is the power in verse forty of Daniel eleven, that “overflows and passes over.” The trampling down of Jerusalem that began with Babylon, and continued with the iron nation that spoke dark sentences as represented by Moses in Deuteronomy, was followed by the papacy. Until the end of the trampling down “desolations” were “determined.” In verse twenty-seven, Christ confirms the covenant with many for one week. In the middle of that week, the earthly sacrificial system would cease as Christ began his high priestly ministry in the sanctuary in heaven. Because of the Jews’ disobedience during the probationary time that had been cut off for them, the sanctuary and city were again to be made desolate.
Papalik “toshib ketuvchi qamchi” sifatida tasvirlangan qudratdir; u Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi qirqinchi oyatda “toshqin kabi bostirib kirib, o‘tib ketadigan” qudratdir. Bobil bilan boshlangan va Muso Qonunlar kitobida ifodalaganidek, qorong‘i so‘zlar so‘zlovchi temir xalq bilan davom etgan Quddusning oyoq osti qilinishi papalik tomonidan davom ettirildi. Oyoq osti qilinishning oxirigacha “vayronagarchiliklar” “belgilab qo‘yilgan” edi. Yigirma yettinchi oyatda Masih bir hafta davomida ko‘plar bilan ahdni tasdiqlaydi. O‘sha haftaning o‘rtasida, Masih samodagi ma’badda O‘zining oliy ruhoniylik xizmatini boshlaganida, yer yuzidagi qurbonlik tizimi to‘xtashi kerak edi. Yahudiylar o‘zlari uchun belgilab qo‘yilgan sinov muddati davomida itoatsizlik qilganliklari sababli, ma’bad va shahar yana vayronaga aylantirilishi kerak edi.
The verse says “for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” When the Jews finally filled their cup of probationary time to the brim, the city and sanctuary were to be desolate until the end of the war. At the “consummation” of the trampling down in 1798, it had been “determined” that the papacy would receive a deadly wound. Then the city and the sanctuary were to be restored and rebuilt, as typified when the Jews came out of literal Babylon under the three decrees.
Oyatda shunday deyiladi: “jirkanchliklarning yoyilishi tufayli u uni vayron qiladi; bu hol to intihogacha davom etadi, va belgilab qo‘yilgan narsa vayron bo‘lganning ustiga to‘kiladi.” Yahudiylar sinov muddati kosasini nihoyat limmo-lim to‘ldirganlarida, shahar va muqaddas ma’bad urushning oxirigacha xarob bo‘lib qolishi kerak edi. 1798-yildagi oyoqosti qilinishning “intihosi”da papalik o‘limli yara olishi “belgilab qo‘yilgan” edi. Shundan so‘ng shahar va muqaddas ma’bad, yahudiylar uchta farmon ostida haqiqiy Bobildan chiqqanlarida oldindan ko‘rsatilganidek, qayta tiklanishi va qayta barpo etilishi kerak edi.
Until the consummation of that war Jerusalem was to be trampled down by the papal power. The prophetic periods that make up the distinct periods within the twenty-three hundred years can only be understood correctly when the relation of the vision of trampling down of the seventy years is understood in connection with the vision of the restoration of the sanctuary and host. To reject the vision of the scattering of Moses curse is to reject the vision of the gathering. The vision of the seventy years is the vision of the scattering. The vision of the twenty-three hundred years is the vision of the gathering. The vision of the seventy years is the “chazon” vision of the scattering, and the vision of the twenty-three hundred years is the “mareh” vision of the gathering.
O‘sha urushning poyoniga qadar Quddus papalik hokimiyati tomonidan oyoq osti qilinishi kerak edi. Ikki ming uch yuz yil ichidagi alohida davrlarni tashkil etuvchi bashoratli muddatlar faqat yetmish yil davom etgan oyoq osti qilinish haqidagi vahiy bilan muqaddas maskan va lashkarning qayta tiklanishi haqidagi vahiy o‘rtasidagi munosabat tushunilgandagina to‘g‘ri anglanishi mumkin. Musoning la’natidagi sochib yuborilish haqidagi vahiyni rad etish — yig‘ib olish haqidagi vahiyni rad etishdir. Yetmish yil haqidagi vahiy — sochib yuborilish haqidagi vahiydir. Ikki ming uch yuz yil haqidagi vahiy — yig‘ib olish haqidagi vahiydir. Yetmish yil haqidagi vahiy sochib yuborilishning “chazon” vahiyidir, ikki ming uch yuz yil haqidagi vahiy esa yig‘ib olishning “mareh” vahiyidir.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mark 10:9.
Shunday ekan, Xudo qo‘shgan narsani inson ajratmasin. Mark 10:9.
The two visions have been prophetically joined together, and to reject one is to reject them both. This fact identifies that in spite of Adventism claiming that they uphold the twenty-three hundred year prophecy, they have rejected the central pillar of Adventism, as certainly as they rejected the “seven times” in 1863. Did not the Jews profess to keep the law of God? Did not ancient Israel profess to be looking for the Messiah? Profession is meaningless if it does not uphold the Word of God.
Ikki vahiy bashoratli tarzda bir-biriga bog‘langan, va ulardan birini rad etish ikkalasini ham rad etishdir. Bu haqiqat shuni ko‘rsatadiki, Adventizm vakillari ikki ming uch yuz yillik bashoratni saqlab qolayotganlarini da’vo qilsalar-da, ular 1863-yilda “yetti vaqt”ni rad etganlari kabi, Adventizmning markaziy ustunini ham rad etganlar. Yahudiylar Xudoning qonunini saqlayotganlarini da’vo qilmaganmidilar? Qadimgi Isroil Masihni kutayotganini da’vo qilmaganmidilar? Agar e’tirof Xudoning Kalomini qo‘llab-quvvatlamasa, uning hech qanday ma’nosi yo‘q.
The Millerites eventually identified October 22, 1844, as the termination of the period of twenty-three hundred days, but their understanding was limited. It was not until after the great disappointment that light came concerning the heavenly sanctuary and Christ’s appearance in the Most Holy Place on that date. Not until after that date, did they see the third angel’s message and the law of God.
Millerchilar oxir-oqibat 1844-yil 22-oktyabrni ikki ming uch yuz kunlik davrning tugashi deb belgiladilar, ammo ularning tushunchasi cheklangan edi. Buyuk umidsizlikdan keyingina osmoniy ma’bad va Masihning o‘sha sanada Eng Muqaddas Joyda zohir bo‘lishiga oid nur keldi. Faqat o‘sha sanadan keyingina ular uchinchi farishtaning xabarini va Xudoning qonunini ko‘rdilar.
The Lord intended to increase the prophetic light associated with the twenty-three hundred years, and in 1856, he opened the door to further light, and over the next seven years Adventism closed that door. It was not until after September 11, 2001, that the Lord led students of prophecy back to Hiram Edson’s articles, and the light of the “seven times,” once again began to increase.
Rabbiy ikki ming uch yuz yil bilan bog‘liq bashoratli nurni ko‘paytirishni maqsad qilgan edi, va 1856-yilda U yanada ko‘proq nur uchun eshikni ochdi, ammo keyingi yetti yil ichida Adventizm o‘sha eshikni yopdi. Faqat 2001-yil 11-sentabrdan keyingina Rabbiy bashorat tadqiqotchilarini Hiram Edsonning maqolalariga qayta yo‘lladi, va “yetti vaqt”ning nuri yana bir bor ortib bora boshladi.
Refusing to see the relation between the twenty-three hundred year prophecy and the prophecy of twenty-five hundred and twenty years, Adventism came to understand October 22, 1844 in a stunted and incomplete fashion.
Ikki ming uch yuz yillik bashorat bilan ikki ming besh yuz yigirma yillik bashorat o‘rtasidagi munosabatni ko‘rishni rad etgan Adventizm, 1844-yil 22-oktabrni toraytirilgan va to‘liqsiz tarzda tushunib oldi.
Once S. S. Snow locked-in the date for the crucifixion, the date of October 22, 1844, was ascertained.
S. S. Snow xochga mixlanish sanasini qat’iy belgilaganidan so‘ng, 1844-yil 22-oktabr sanasi aniqlab olindi.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:25–27.
Shuni bilinglar va anglanglarki, Quddusni tiklash va barpo etish to‘g‘risidagi farmon chiqqan paytdan boshlab, Masih — Hukmdorgacha yetti hafta va oltmish ikki hafta bo‘ladi; ko‘cha ham, devor ham yana barpo qilinadi, garchi mashaqqatli zamonlarda bo‘lsa ham. Va oltmish ikki haftadan keyin Masih qirqib tashlanadi, ammo O‘zi uchun emas; va keladigan hukmdorning xalqi shaharni va muqaddas joyni vayron qiladi; uning oxiri toshqin bilan bo‘ladi, va urushning oxirigacha vayronagarchiliklar belgilab qo‘yilgandir. Va u bir hafta davomida ko‘plar bilan ahdni mustahkamlaydi; va haftaning o‘rtasida qurbonlik bilan nazrni to‘xtatadi, va jirkanch narsalarning yoyilishi tufayli uni xarob qiladi, toki tamom bo‘lishigacha; va belgilab qo‘yilgan narsa xaroba qilinganning ustiga quyiladi. Doniyor 9:25–27.
The Millerites recognized the correct date for the crucifixion and then the end of the period of twenty-three hundred years was identified. The “cutting off of the Messiah” in “the midst of the week” in which Christ confirmed “the covenant” because of the Jews filling their cup of probationary time to the top, as represented by the “overspreading of Abominations”, was also identified. The cross became the historical waymark that was essential in the recognition of the message of the Midnight Cry.
Millerchilar xochga mixlanish uchun to‘g‘ri sanani aniqladilar, so‘ngra esa ikki ming uch yuz yillik davrning oxiri belgilab olindi. Yahudiylar sinov muddatining kosasini limmo-lim to‘ldirganlari sababli, “jirkanchliklarning yoyilishi” bilan ifodalangan holda, Masih “ahdni” tasdiqlagan “haftaning o‘rtasida” yuz bergan “Masihning qirqib tashlanishi” ham aniqlandi. Xoch Midnight Cry xabarini tanib olishda zarur bo‘lgan tarixiy yo‘lbelgisiga aylandi.
In spite of the light located in the verses that produced such a powerful manifestation of God’s power, the Millerites never reached an understanding of those verses which was represented by Daniel’s desire to understand the relationship of the two visions. The week in which Christ confirmed the covenant was divided into two periods, which Sister White later identified as representing Christ’s personal ministry of three and a half years, followed by his ministry as represented by the disciples. They saw that the historical waymark of the cross became the anchor to ascertain the date of October 22, 1844, but they did not see that it also represented the center of two identical periods of three and a half years, and thus represented the “seven times,” which God through Moses called the “quarrel of his covenant.”
Xudoning qudratining shunchalik kuchli namoyon bo‘lishini yuzaga keltirgan oyatlarda joylashgan nurga qaramay, millerchilar hech qachon Danielning ikki vahiy o‘rtasidagi munosabatni tushunish istagi orqali ifodalangan o‘sha oyatlarning ma’nosini anglab yetmadilar. Masih ahdni tasdiqlagan hafta ikki davrga bo‘lingan edi; keyinchalik opa-singil Uayt buni Masihning uch yarim yillik shaxsiy xizmati, undan keyin esa shogirdlar orqali ifodalangan xizmati sifatida aniqladi. Ular xochning tarixiy yo‘l belgisi 1844-yil 22-oktabr sanasini aniqlash uchun langar bo‘lib qolganini ko‘rdilar, biroq bu, shuningdek, uch yarim yildan iborat o‘zaro aynan bir xil ikki davrning markazini ham ifodalashini, va shu tariqa Xudo Muso orqali “Uning ahdining janjali” deb atagan “yetti vaqt”ni ifodalashini ko‘rmadilar.
Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. Leviticus 26:24, 25.
Shunda Men ham sizlarga qarshi yuraman va gunohlaringiz uchun sizlarni yana yetti karra jazolayman. Va ahdimning qasosini oladigan qilichni ustingizga keltiraman; shaharlaringiz ichida bir joyga to‘planganingizda, orangizga o‘lat yuboraman; va sizlar dushman qo‘liga topshirilasizlar. Levilar 26:24, 25.
When Christ was confirming the covenant with many, it was the covenant that he had a quarrel over with the disobedient Jews. The “quarrel of his covenant,” began in 723 BC, when the Assyrians took the northern kingdom into captivity, and then for twelve hundred and sixty prophetic days, paganism trampled down literal Israel. That trampling down was then followed by another twelve hundred and sixty prophetic days, of papalism trampling down spiritual Israel.
Masih ko‘plar bilan ahdni tasdiqlayotganida, U itoatsiz yahudiylar bilan nizolashayotgan ahd aynan o‘sha ahd edi. “Uning ahdi ustidagi nizosi” miloddan avvalgi 723-yilda, ossuriyaliklar shimoliy shohlikni asirlikka olib ketganlarida boshlandi; shundan so‘ng bir ming ikki yuz oltmishta bashoratli kun davomida butparastlik zohiriy Isroilni oyoq osti qildi. O‘sha oyoq osti qilinishidan keyin esa yana bir ming ikki yuz oltmishta bashoratli kun davomida papachilik ruhiy Isroilni oyoq osti qildi.
The prophetic week in which Christ confirmed the covenant, in fulfillment of the vision of twenty three hundred years, also represented the vision of twenty-five hundred and twenty years. The Millerites recognized enough of the prophecy of twenty-three hundred years to correctly proclaim the message of the Midnight Cry, but they chose to reject some of the light which Gabriel’s interpretation in chapter nine was meant to convey.
Masih ahdni tasdiqlagan payg‘ambarlik haftasi, ikki ming uch yuz yillik vahiy amalga oshganining bajo bo‘lishi sifatida, ayni paytda ikki ming besh yuz yigirma yillik vahiyni ham ifodalagan edi. Millerchilar ikki ming uch yuz yillik bashoratning Yetarlicha qismini anglab, Yarim tun nidosi xabarini to‘g‘ri e’lon qildilar, biroq ular to‘qqizinchi bobdagi Jabroilning talqini yetkazishi ko‘zda tutilgan nurning bir qismini rad etishni tanladilar.
Gabriel had instructed Daniel to rightly divide (mentally separate) the two visions, represented as “matter” and “vision,” and in fulfillment of that counsel Sister White informs us that this was the very burden of Daniel as he sought to understand the relation of the seventy weeks (a symbol of “seven times”), and the twenty-three hundred years.
Jabroil Doniyorga “masala” va “vahiy” sifatida ifodalangan ikki vahiyni to‘g‘ri ajratishni (aqlan bir-biridan farqlashni) buyurgan edi; va o‘sha maslahatning bajarilishi sifatida Uayt opa bizga shuni ma’lum qiladiki, yetmish hafta (“yetti vaqt”ning ramzi) bilan ikki ming uch yuz yil o‘rtasidagi munosabatni tushunishga intilar ekan, aynan shu narsa Doniyorning asosiy yukidir.
Adventism’s rejection of the “seven times,” placed them in a position where they could not understand that the first period of four hundred and ninety years, which was cut off from the twenty-three hundred years, represented the rebellion of the covenant that Moses identifies as the “quarrel of his covenant”.
Adventizmning “yetti vaqt”ni rad etishi ularni shunday bir holatga qo‘ydiki, bunda ular yigirma uch yuz yildan kesib olingan to‘rt yuz to‘qson yillik birinchi davr Muso “Uning ahdining mojarosi” deb ataydigan ahd isyonini ifoda etishini tushuna olmadilar.
They were also prevented from recognizing that the crucifixion in the midst of the week did more than simply identify the date, for it identified the very center of Christ’s quarrel with Israel’s disobedience with the blood of the covenant. They were blind to the fact that the blood that was shed for many at the cross, that was confirming his covenant, was also confirming the covenant set forth in Leviticus twenty-five and twenty-six.
Shuningdek, ular haftaning o‘rtasidagi xochga mixlanish shunchaki sanani aniqlab berganidan ko‘proq narsani anglatishini anglashdan ham to‘sib qo‘yilgan edilar, chunki u ahd qoni bilan Masihning Isroilning itoatsizligiga qarshi da’vosining ayni markazini ochib berar edi. Ular xochda ko‘plar uchun to‘kilgan, Uning ahdini tasdiqlayotgan qon, ayni paytda Levilar kitobining yigirma beshinchi va yigirma oltinchi boblarida bayon etilgan ahdni ham tasdiqlayotganini ko‘ra olmadilar.
Ancient Israel took upon themselves a covenant where they defined the covenant as their proclamation “that all that the Lord has said, we will do,” totally unaware that the covenant which Christ was offering required that His law be written upon the heart. Their pharisaical definition of the terms of the covenant prevented them from understanding and accepting the true covenant.
Qadimgi Isroil o‘z zimmasiga shunday bir ahdni oldiki, unda ular ahdni: “Egamiz aytgan hamma narsani biz bajo keltiramiz”, degan o‘z e’lonlari sifatida ta’rifladilar; holbuki, Masih taklif etayotgan ahd Uning qonuni yurakka yozilishini talab etishini ular mutlaqo anglamagan edilar. Ahd shartlarini farziylarcha ta’riflashlari ularning haqiqiy ahdni tushunishlari va qabul qilishlariga to‘sqinlik qildi.
Modern Israel has defined the blood of the cross in the midst of the week in terms which cause the same blindness for modern Israel that was upon ancient Israel when they rejected the Messiah and proclaimed they had no king but Caesar.
Zamonaviy Isroil haftaning o‘rtasida xochning qonini shunday tarzda ta’riflab qo‘ydiki, bu holat qadimgi Isroil Masihni rad etib, Qaysardan boshqa podshohimiz yo‘q, deb e’lon qilgan paytda uning ustida bo‘lgan ko‘rlikning aynisini zamonaviy Isroil uchun ham keltirib chiqardi.
Modern Israel is blind to the fact that the history which Gabriel outlined for Daniel not only includes the confirmation of the covenant, but also the scattering that is brought upon those who reject that covenant, for the verses identify that pagan Rome (the prince that was to come), would destroy the city and the sanctuary, and that unto the end of the war (which trampled down the sanctuary and the host) “desolations,” in the plural, were determined.
Zamonaviy Isroil Jabroil Doniyorga bayon qilgan tarix nafaqat ahdning tasdiqlanishini, balki o‘sha ahdni rad etuvchilar ustiga keltiriladigan tarqalishni ham o‘z ichiga olishini ko‘rmayapti; chunki oyatlar butparast Rim (kelajak bo‘lgan shahzoda) shahar va muqaddas joyni vayron qilishini, hamda muqaddas joy bilan lashkarni oyoq osti qilgan urushning oxirigacha “xarobaliklar”ning — ko‘plikda — belgilab qo‘yilganini ko‘rsatadi.
In the history where Christ shed his blood to confirm the covenant with many, the two desolating powers of pagan and papal Rome are specifically identified. The blood shed upon the cross is what Christ brings into the heavenly sanctuary, and is a symbol of His work represented by the “mareh” vision of twenty-three hundred years. That history is woven in with the history of the “chazon” vision of twenty-five hundred and twenty years, as represented by the two desolating powers that would trample down the sanctuary and the host.
Masih ko‘plar bilan ahdni tasdiqlash uchun O‘z qonini to‘kkan tarixda, vayron qiluvchi ikki kuch — butparast Rim va papalik Rimi — aniq ko‘rsatib berilgan. Xochda to‘kilgan qon Masih samoviy muqaddas joyga olib kiradigan narsadir va u yigirma uch yuz yillik “mareh” vahiyida ifodalangan Uning ishining ramzidir. Bu tarix yigirma besh yuz yigirma yillik “chazon” vahiyining tarixi bilan o‘zaro bog‘langan bo‘lib, muqaddas joyni va lashkarni oyoq osti qiladigan o‘sha ikki vayron qiluvchi kuch orqali tasvirlangan.
The truths which were represented in Miller’s dream as jewels shone as bright as the sun, but they were incomplete. In the last days, when the Midnight Cry is repeated to the very letter, those very jewels will be cast into the new, larger casket by the “dirt brush Man”, and they will then shine ten times brighter than they originally did. They become the test of the final Midnight Cry message. Those jewels were specifically identified by the two witnesses prophesied by Habakkuk, as tables. When the two tables of the 1843 and 1850 pioneer charts are laid upon each other “line upon line”, Miller’s jewels are specifically identified, and in so doing those jewels represent the message of the final Midnight Cry.
Millerning tushida javohirlar sifatida ifodalangan haqiqatlar quyoshdek porlagan edi, ammo ular to‘liq emas edi. Oxirgi kunlarda, Yarim tun nidosi aynan harfma-harf takrorlanganda, o‘sha javohirlarning o‘zi “chang cho‘tka tutgan Inson” tomonidan yangi, kattaroq qutichaga tashlanadi, va shunda ular dastlab porlaganidan o‘n baravar yorqinroq porlaydi. Ular yakuniy Yarim tun nidosi xabarining sinoviga aylanadi. O‘sha javohirlar Habakkuk bashorat qilgan ikki guvoh tomonidan, xususan, jadvallar sifatida aniqlab ko‘rsatilgan edi. 1843 va 1850 yillardagi kashshoflar jadvallarining ikki jadvali “satr ustiga satr” tarzida bir-birining ustiga qo‘yilganda, Millerning javohirlari aniq ravishda belgilab ko‘rsatiladi, va shu tariqa o‘sha javohirlar yakuniy Yarim tun nidosi xabarini ifodalaydi.
Most of the truths upon the two charts illustrate prophecies that were fulfilled prior to 1844, such as the identification of the beasts of Daniel seven and eight. The image of Daniel two is represented. The argument over whether it is Rome or Antiochus Epiphanes which establishes the vision is there. The first disappointment and the tarrying time of Habakkuk and the ten virgins is there. The arrival of the third angel is there, as is the heavenly sanctuary. “The daily” as a symbol of paganism is there. And of course, the three Woes of Islam are there. When brought together the charts represent an illustration of the “increase of knowledge” that takes place when the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals a prophetic truth.
Ikki jadvaldagi haqiqatlarning aksariyati 1844-yildan oldin bajo bo‘lgan bashoratlarni, masalan, Doniyorning yettinchi va sakkizinchi boblaridagi hayvonlarning aniqlanishini tasvirlaydi. Doniyorning ikkinchi bobidagi haykal ham aks ettirilgan. Vahiyni qaysi biri — Rimmi yoki Antiox Epifanesmi — belgilashi haqidagi dalil ham u yerda bor. Birinchi umidsizlik hamda Xabaqquq va o‘n bokira qizning cho‘zilish vaqti ham u yerda bor. Uchinchi farishtaning kelishi ham, samoviy muqaddas maskan ham u yerda bor. Butparastlikning timsoli sifatidagi “kundalik” ham u yerda bor. Va, albatta, Islomning uchta Vay holati ham u yerda bor. Bir joyga jamlanganda, bu jadvallar Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni bir bashoratli haqiqatning muhrini ochganda yuz beradigan “bilimning ortishi”ning tasvirini ifodalaydi.
As we wind down our consideration of the vision of the Ulai River as the symbol of the prophetic knowledge that was unsealed at the time of the end in 1798, which increased to make up the jewels in the new, larger casket of William Miller’s dream, we will revisit the Millerite truths which were incomplete in their history. Some were left in an incomplete state because of the time in history in which the Millerites were living, and others were left incomplete through the disobedience of those who refused to keep up with the advancing light of the third angel.
1798-yildagi oxirzamon vaqtida muhrdan ochilgan va Uilyam Millerning tushidagi yangi, kattaroq sandiqdagi javohirlarni tashkil etish uchun ko‘paygan bashoratli bilimning ramzi sifatidagi Ulay daryosi haqidagi vahiy ustidagi mulohazamizni yakunlar ekanmiz, endi biz Millerchilar tarixida to‘liq bo‘lmay qolgan haqiqatlarni yana ko‘rib chiqamiz. Ulardan ba’zilari Millerchilar yashagan tarixiy davr sababli to‘liq bo‘lmagan holatda qoldi, boshqalari esa uchinchi farishtaning ilgarilab borayotgan nuriga hamqadam bo‘lishdan bosh tortganlarning itoatsizligi tufayli to‘liq bo‘lmay qoldi.
We will continue these things in the next article.
Bu masalalarni keyingi maqolada davom ettiramiz.
“Those whom God has sent with a message are only men, but what is the character of the message which they bear? Will you dare to turn from, or make light of, the warnings, because God did not consult you as to what would be preferred? God calls men who will speak, who will cry aloud and spare not. God has raised up his messengers to do his work for this time. Some have turned from the message of the righteousness of Christ to criticize the men and their imperfections, because they do not speak the message of truth with all the grace and polish desirable. They have too much zeal, are too much in earnest, speak with too much positiveness, and the message that would bring healing and life and comfort to many weary and oppressed souls, is, in a measure, excluded; for just in proportion as men of influence close their own hearts and set up their own wills in opposition to what God has said, will they seek to take away the ray of light from those who have been longing and praying for light and for vivifying power. Christ has registered all the hard, proud, sneering speeches spoken against his servants as against himself.
“Xudo xabar bilan yuborganlar faqat odamlardir, ammo ular olib kelayotgan xabarning tabiati qanday? Xudo nimaning afzal ko‘rilishi haqida siz bilan maslahatlashmagani uchun, siz ogohlantirishlardan yuz o‘girishga yoki ularni mensimaslikka jur’at etasizmi? Xudo shunday odamlarni chaqiradiki, ular gapiradilar, baland ovoz bilan faryod qiladilar va tiyilmaydilar. Xudo O‘z xabarchilarini ayni shu vaqt uchun O‘z ishini bajarishlari maqsadida ko‘targandir. Ba’zilar Masihning solihligi haqidagi xabardan yuz o‘girib, haqiqat xabarini istalgan darajadagi inoyat va sayqal bilan yetkazmayotganlari uchun, odamlarni va ularning nuqsonlarini tanqid qilishga o‘tib ketdilar. Ular haddan tashqari g‘ayratli, haddan tashqari jiddiy, haddan tashqari qat’iy gapiradilar, deb hisoblaydilar; natijada ko‘plab holdan toygan va ezilgan jonlarga shifo, hayot va taskin olib kelishi kerak bo‘lgan xabar ma’lum darajada chetga surib qo‘yiladi; chunki ta’sirga ega odamlar o‘z yuraklarini yopib, Xudo aytgan narsaga qarshi o‘z irodalarini tikkanlari sari, nurga hamda jonlantiruvchi quvvatga zor bo‘lib kelgan va buning uchun ibodat qilgan kishilardan shu nur shu’lasini tortib olishga urinadilar. Masih O‘z xizmatkorlariga qarshi aytilgan barcha qattiq, mag‘rur, masxarali so‘zlarni xuddi O‘ziga qarshi aytilgandek qayd etgan.”
“The third angel’s message will not be comprehended, the light which will lighten the earth with its glory will be called a false light, by those who refuse to walk in its advancing glory. The work that might have been done, will be left undone by the rejecters of truth, because of their unbelief. We entreat of you who oppose the light of truth, to stand out of the way of God’s people. Let Heaven-sent light shine forth upon them in clear and steady rays. God holds you to whom this light has come, responsible for the use you make of it. Those who will not hear will be held responsible; for the truth has been brought within their reach, but they despised their opportunities and privileges. Messages bearing the divine credentials have been sent to God’s people; the glory, the majesty, the righteousness of Christ, full of goodness and truth, have been presented; the fullness of the Godhead in Jesus Christ has been set forth among us with beauty and loveliness, to charm all whose hearts were not closed with prejudice. We know that God has wrought among us. We have seen souls turn from sin to righteousness. We have seen faith revived in the hearts of the contrite ones. Shall we be like the lepers that were cleansed who went on their way, and only one returned to give glory to God? Let us rather tell of his goodness, and praise God with heart, with pen, and with voice.” Review and Herald, May 27, 1890.
“Uchinchi farishtaning xabari anglanmaydi, va o‘zining ulug‘vorligi bilan yer yuzini yoritadigan nur, uning tobora ochilib borayotgan ulug‘vorligida yurishni rad etadiganlar tomonidan soxta nur deb ataladi. Qilinishi mumkin bo‘lgan ish, haqiqatni rad etuvchilar tomonidan, o‘zlarining imonsizligi sababli, bajarilmay qoladi. Haqiqat nuriga qarshi turayotgan sizlardan iltijo qilamiz: Xudoning xalqining yo‘lidan chetga turing. Osmon tomonidan yuborilgan nur ularga ravshan va barqaror nurlar bilan porlasin. Bu nur sizga kelgan ekan, Xudo undan qanday foydalanishingiz uchun sizni mas’ul tutadi. Eshitishni istamaydiganlar mas’ul hisoblanadilar; chunki haqiqat ularning yetib borishi doirasiga keltirilgan edi, ammo ular o‘z imkoniyatlari va imtiyozlarini mensimadilar. Ilohiy tasdiqni o‘zida mujassam etgan xabarlar Xudoning xalqiga yuborildi; yaxshilik va haqiqatga to‘la Masihning ulug‘vorligi, salobati va solihligi taqdim etildi; Iso Masihdagi ilohiyatning butun to‘laligi oramizda go‘zallik va latofat bilan namoyon qilindi, toki qalblari xurofot bilan yopilmaganlarning barchasini maftun etsin. Biz bilamizki, Xudo oramizda ish olib bordi. Biz jonlarning gunohdan solihlikka yuz burishini ko‘rdik. Biz tavozeli kishilarning qalblarida imon qayta jonlanganini ko‘rdik. Biz poklangan moxovlar kabi bo‘laylikmi, ular o‘z yo‘llariga ketib qoldilar va faqat bittasi qaytib kelib Xudoga ulug‘vorlik berdi? Aksincha, Uning yaxshiligi haqida so‘zlaylik va Xudoni qalb bilan, qalam bilan va ovoz bilan madh etaylik.” Review and Herald, 1890-yil 27-may.
