In the book of Ezekiel, the ‘siege’ of Jerusalem is the ‘sign’ that is the test by which our eternal destiny will be decided, for it marks the formation of the image of the beast.
Hizqiyo kitobida Quddusning “qamali” bizning abadiy taqdirimiz hal etiladigan sinov bo‘lgan “belgi”dir, chunki u hayvonning suratining shakllanishini ko‘rsatadi.
“The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. …
“Rabbiy menga yirtqichning surati sinov muddati tugashidan oldin barpo etilishini aniq ko‘rsatdi; chunki bu Xudoning xalqi uchun ulkan sinov bo‘ladi va ularning abadiy taqdiri shu orqali hal qilinadi. …”
“This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.
“Bu Xudoning xalqi muhrlanishidan oldin boshdan kechirishi lozim bo‘lgan sinovdir. Uning qonuniga rioya etib, qalbaki shanbani qabul qilishdan bosh tortish orqali Xudoga sodiqligini isbotlaganlarning barchasi Rabbiy Xudo Yahovaning bayrog‘i ostida saf tortadi va tirik Xudoning muhrini qabul qiladi. Samoviy kelib chiqishga ega bo‘lgan haqiqatdan voz kechib, yakshanba shanbasini qabul qilganlar esa maxluqning tamg‘asini qabul qiladi.” Manuscript Releases, 15-jild, 15.
The Christians that fled Jerusalem at the ‘sign’ of Cestius, did so because they had been forewarned and recognized the ‘sign’ when it arrived. Recognizing the formation of the image of the beast is to recognize the “events,” “preparations” and “movements” that lead to the Sunday law. The prophetic elements that make up the ‘sign’ must be understood in advance of the sign. When Cestius began the siege it was too late to learn what the sign was.
Quddusning “alomat”i paydo bo‘lganida Quddusdan qochgan masihiylar buni oldindan ogohlantirilganlari va “alomat” kelganida uni taniganlari uchun qildilar. Hayvonning suratining shakllanishini tanish — yakshanba qonuniga olib boradigan “voqea-hodisalar”, “tayyorgarliklar” va “harakatlar”ni tanish demakdir. “Alomat”ni tashkil etuvchi bashoratli unsurlar alomatdan oldin tushunilgan bo‘lishi kerak. Cestius qamalni boshlagan paytda alomat nima ekanini o‘rganish uchun juda kech bo‘lgan edi.
“Already preparations are advancing, and movements are in progress, which will result in making an image to the beast. Events will be brought about in the earth’s history that will fulfill the predictions of prophecy for these last days.” Review and Herald, April 23, 1889.
“Zotan tayyorgarliklar ildam bormoqda, va shunday harakatlar davom etmoqdaki, ular hayvonga bir surat yasash bilan yakun topadi. Yer tarixida shunday voqealar yuz beradi-ki, ular shu oxirgi kunlar uchun bashoratning oldindan aytganlarini amalga oshiradi.” Review and Herald, 1889-yil 23-aprel.
Preparations, Movements and Events
Tayyorgarliklar, Harakatlar va Voqealar
The “preparations,” “movements” and “events” must be recognized in advance of the test.
“tayyorgarliklar”, “harakatlar” va “hodisalar” sinovdan oldin tanib olinishi kerak.
“All that God has in prophetic history specified to be fulfilled in the past has been, and all that is yet to come in its order will be. Daniel, God’s prophet, stands in his place. John stands in his place. In the Revelation the Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the students of prophecy the book of Daniel, and thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears his testimony, that which the Lord revealed to him in vision of the great and solemn events which we must know as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.
“Xudo bashoratli tarixda o‘tmishda amalga oshishi uchun belgilagan barcha narsa amalga oshgan, va hali kelajakda bo‘lganlarning hammasi o‘z tartibi bilan amalga oshadi. Xudoning payg‘ambari Doniyor o‘z o‘rnida turibdi. Yuhanno o‘z o‘rnida turibdi. Vahiyda Yahudo qabilasining Sheri bashoratni o‘rganuvchilarga Doniyor kitobini ochib berdi, va shu tariqa Doniyor o‘z o‘rnida turibdi. U o‘z guvohligini beradi — Rabbiy unga vahiyda ochib bergan o‘sha buyuk va tantanali voqealar haqidagi guvohlikni; biz esa ularning amalga oshishining ayni bo‘sag‘asida turganimiz uchun bularni bilmog‘imiz lozim.”
“In history and prophecy the Word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been, will be repeated.” Selected Messages, book 2, 109.
“Tarix va bashoratda Xudoning Kalomi haqiqat bilan xato o‘rtasidagi uzoq davom etgan kurashni tasvirlaydi. Bu kurash hanuz davom etmoqda. Ilgari bo‘lgan narsalar yana takrorlanadi.” Selected Messages, 2-kitob, 109.
We “must know” “the great and solemn events as we stand on the very threshold of their fulfillment.” The threshold identifies our need to understand the events in advance of their fulfilment.
Biz “buyuk va tantanali voqealarni ularning amalga oshishining ayni ostonasida turganimizda” “bilishimiz shart.” Ostona bu voqealarni ular amalga oshishidan oldin anglab olishimiz zarurligini ko‘rsatadi.
“But the stern tracings of the prophetic pencil reveal a change in this peaceful scene. The beast with lamb-like horns speaks with the voice of a dragon, and ‘exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.’ The spirit of persecution manifested by paganism and the papacy is again to be revealed. Prophecy declares that this power will say ‘to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast.’ [Revelation 13:14.] The image is made to the first or leopard-like beast, which is the one brought to view in the third angel’s message. By this first beast is represented the Roman Church, an ecclesiastical body clothed with civil power, having authority to punish all dissenters. The image to the beast represents another religious body clothed with similar power. The formation of this image is the work of that beast whose peaceful rise and mild professions render it so striking a symbol of the United States. Here is to be found an image of the papacy. When the churches of our land, uniting upon such points of faith as are held by them in common, shall influence the State to enforce their decrees and sustain their institutions, then will Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy. Then the true church will be assailed by persecution, as were God’s ancient people. Almost every century furnishes examples of what bigotry and malice can do under a plea of serving God by protecting the rights of Church and State. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. In the seventeenth century thousands of non-conformist ministers suffered under the rule of the Church of England. Persecution always follows religious favoritism on the part of secular governments.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 277.
“Ammo bashorat qalamining qat’iy chiziqlari bu osoyishta manzarada o‘zgarish yuz berishini ochib beradi. Qo‘zichoqnikiga o‘xshash shoxlari bor mahluq ajdarning ovozi bilan so‘zlaydi va ‘uning oldida birinchi mahluqning butun hokimiyatini ishga soladi.’ Ta’qib ruhi, ya’ni butparastlik va papalikda namoyon bo‘lgan ruh, yana oshkor bo‘lishi kerak. Bashorat bu qudrat ‘yer yuzida yashovchilarga, mahluqqa bir tasvir yasashlari kerakligini’ aytishini e’lon qiladi. [Vahiy 13:14.] Tasvir birinchi, ya’ni qoplonga o‘xshash mahluqqa yasaladi; aynan o‘sha mahluq uchinchi farishtaning xabarida ko‘rsatilgan. Bu birinchi mahluq orqali fuqaroviy hokimiyat bilan qurollangan, barcha muxoliflarni jazolash vakolatiga ega bo‘lgan diniy tashkilot — Rim Cherkovi ifodalanadi. Mahluqning tasviri shunga o‘xshash hokimiyat bilan qurollangan boshqa bir diniy tashkilotni anglatadi. Bu tasvirning shakllanishi tinch ko‘tarilishi va muloyim da’volari uni Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining nihoyatda yorqin ramziga aylantirgan o‘sha mahluqning ishidir. Mana shu yerda papalikning tasviri topiladi. Yurtimiz cherkovlari o‘zlari uchun mushtarak bo‘lgan e’tiqod nuqtalarida birlashib, o‘z qarorlarini ijro ettirish va o‘z muassasalarini qo‘llab-quvvatlatish uchun davlatga ta’sir o‘tkazganlarida, ana shunda protestant Amerikasi Rim iyerarxiyasining bir tasvirini yaratgan bo‘ladi. Shundan keyin haqiqiy cherkov, xuddi qadimda Xudoning xalqi bo‘lgani kabi, ta’qib hujumiga uchraydi. Deyarli har bir asr, Cherkov va Davlat huquqlarini himoya qilish orqali Xudoga xizmat qilayotganlik vajhi ostida mutaassiblik va yovuzlik nimalarga qodir ekaniga misollar beradi. Dunyoviy hokimiyatlar bilan ittifoq tuzish orqali Rimning izidan borgan protestant cherkovlari ham vijdon erkinligini cheklashga xuddi shunday intilishni namoyon etganlar. O‘n yettinchi asrda Angliya Cherkovi hukmronligi ostida minglab nonkonformist xizmatchilar azob chekdi. Dunyoviy hukumatlar tomonidan dinga xayrixohlik ko‘rsatilishi har doim ta’qibni keltirib chiqaradi.” Prophecy of Spirit, 4-jild, 277.
The formation of the image of the beast is accomplished first in the United States, and thereafter in the world.
Hayvonning suratining shakllanishi avvalo Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida, undan keyin esa dunyoda amalga oshiriladi.
“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.
“Chet elatlar Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining o‘rnagiga ergashadilar. U yetakchilik qilsa-da, xuddi shu inqiroz dunyoning barcha qismlaridagi xalqimiz boshiga ham keladi.” Testimonies, 6-jild, 395-bet.
The Edict of Milan in 313 represents the starting of the formation, and also identifies the closed door for Seventh-day Adventists. Constantine of the west and Licinius of the east attached a treaty marriage to the Edict, when Constantine gave his half-sister Constantia to Licinius in the fourth treaty marriage represented in a prophetic line of the six treaty marriages within the prophetic history of Daniel eleven. The first two were associated with wars between the north and south, the next two were civil wars between east and west and the last two are symbolic marriages of the papal church power and state power.
313-yildagi Milan farmoni shakllanishning boshlanishini ifodalaydi, shuningdek, Yettinchi kun adventistlari uchun yopiq eshikni ham belgilab beradi. G‘arbning Konstantini va Sharqning Litsiniyusi farmonga sulh nikohini bog‘ladilar, bunda Konstantin o‘zining o‘gay singlisi Konstantiyani Daniel o‘n bir bobning bashoratli tarixidagi oltita sulh nikohidan iborat bashoratli qatordagi to‘rtinchi sulh nikohida Litsiniyusga berdi. Dastlabki ikkitasi shimol va janub o‘rtasidagi urushlar bilan bog‘liq edi, keyingi ikkitasi sharq va g‘arb o‘rtasidagi fuqarolar urushlari edi, oxirgi ikkitasi esa papalik cherkov hokimiyati bilan davlat hokimiyatining ramziy nikohlaridir.
Antiochus II Theos set aside his wife Laodice I to marry the Ptolemaic princess Berenice (daughter of Ptolemy II) around 252 BC. The treaty marriages of the Seleucid Empire were accomplished between the king of the north and the king of the south, whereas; the treaty marriage of 313 was between the emperor of the east and the emperor of the west.
Miloddan avvalgi taxminan 252-yilda Antiox II Theos Ptolemeylar malikasi Berenikaga (Ptolemey II ning qizi) uylanish uchun o‘z xotini Laodike I ni chetga surdi. Salavkiylar imperiyasining sulh nikohlari shimol podshohi bilan janub podshohi o‘rtasida amalga oshirilgan bo‘lsa, 313-yildagi sulh nikohi sharq imperatori bilan g‘arb imperatori o‘rtasida bo‘lgan.
The treaty marriage of Antiochus II Theos in 252 BC, represented the beginning of the Seleucid Empire that reached its conclusion as an empire in the history represented in verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven. In the final history of the Seleucid empire another treaty marriage was accomplished by Antiochus III the Great, when he gave his daughter Cleopatra I Syra, (the very first Cleopatra of prophetic history) to Ptolemy V in 193 BC. At the time Ptolemy V was about 16 and Cleopatra I Syra about 10 years old. Their marriage was a diplomatic settlement after the fifth Syrian war. The alpha treaty marriage between the king of the north and south in Daniel eleven had marked the end of the second Syrian war.
Miloddan avvalgi 252-yilda Antiox II Teosning sulh nikohi, Doniyor 11-bobning o‘ninchi oyatidan o‘n oltinchi oyatigacha tasvirlangan tarixda imperiya sifatida o‘z yakuniga yetgan Salavkiylar imperiyasining boshlanishini ifodaladi. Salavkiylar imperiyasining yakuniy tarixida yana bir sulh nikohi Buyuk Antiox III tomonidan amalga oshirildi; u miloddan avvalgi 193-yilda o‘z qizi Kleopatra I Sira’ni (bashoratli tarixdagi eng birinchi Kleopatrani) Ptolemey V ga berdi. O‘sha paytda Ptolemey V taxminan 16 yoshda, Kleopatra I Sira esa taxminan 10 yoshda edi. Ularning nikohi beshinchi Suriya urushidan keyingi diplomatik kelishuv edi. Doniyor 11-bobdagi shimol va janub shohi o‘rtasidagi alfa sulh nikohi ikkinchi Suriya urushining tugashini belgilagan edi.
The last Cleopatra of prophetic history interacted with both Julius Caesar and thereafter with Mark Antony. After the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC the second Triumvirate was formed in 43 BC. Three men made up the triumvirate and after one of those three, Marcus Lepidus was forced out of the threefold union by Octavian, a power struggle between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west ensued. At Brundisium, in 40 BC a treaty between the two eastern and western rivals was made. The treaty included the marriage between Octavian’s sister Octavia and Mark Antony. The treaty and accompanying marriage did not hold, and after Mark Antony became involved with Cleopatra, he divorced Octavia in 32 BC. At the battle of Actium in 31 BC, the empires of east and west were consolidated into one power, and Octavian thereafter became Augustus Caesar, the symbol of the height of Roman glory and power.
Payg‘ambarlik tarixidagi so‘nggi Kleopatra avval Yuliy Qaysar bilan, undan keyin esa Mark Antoniy bilan munosabatda bo‘lgan. Miloddan avvalgi 44-yilda Yuliy Qaysar o‘ldirilganidan so‘ng, miloddan avvalgi 43-yilda ikkinchi Triumvirat tuzildi. Triumviratni uch kishi tashkil etgan edi va ana shu uch kishidan biri — Mark Lepid — Oktavian tomonidan uch tomonlama ittifoqdan chetlatilgach, sharqdagi Mark Antoniy bilan g‘arbdagi Oktavian o‘rtasida hokimiyat uchun kurash boshlandi. Miloddan avvalgi 40-yilda Brundiziyda sharq va g‘arbdagi bu ikki raqib o‘rtasida shartnoma tuzildi. Shartnoma Oktavianning singlisi Oktaviya bilan Mark Antoniyning nikohini ham o‘z ichiga olgan edi. Biroq shartnoma ham, unga hamroh bo‘lgan nikoh ham mustahkam turmadi va Mark Antoniy Kleopatra bilan aloqaga kirishganidan keyin, miloddan avvalgi 32-yilda Oktaviya bilan ajrashdi. Miloddan avvalgi 31-yilda Aktiy jangida sharq va g‘arb saltanatlari yagona hokimiyat ostida birlashtirildi va shundan so‘ng Oktavian Avgust Qaysarga aylandi — Rimning shon-shuhrati va qudratining eng yuksak cho‘qqisi ramziga.
Prophetically the first treaty marriage of Daniel eleven was between the kings of the north and south in an attempt to end hostilities between the two combatants who were struggling to re-establish the empire of Alexander the Great. That first treaty marriage between the Seleucids and the Ptolemy’s of Egypt was the alpha treaty marriage of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms, which typified the omega treaty marriage between the same two powers. In the last or omega treaty marriage, the very first or alpha Cleopatra of Egyptian history became the prophetic link to the last, or omega Cleopatra; whose relationship with Mark Antony became the point of reference for the divorce of Octavia and Mark Antony. The divorce marked the renewed hostilities between Mark Antony of the east and Octavian of the west which ended at the battle of Actium in 31 BC.
Payg‘ambarlik nuqtayi nazaridan, Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi birinchi ahd nikohi Buyuk Aleksandr imperiyasini qayta tiklash uchun kurashayotgan ikki jangchi tomon o‘rtasidagi adovatni tugatishga urinish sifatida shimol va janub shohlari o‘rtasida bo‘lgan. Salavkiylar bilan Misrning Ptolemeylari o‘rtasidagi o‘sha birinchi ahd nikohi Salavkiy va Ptolemey shohliklarining alfa ahd nikohi bo‘lib, ayni shu ikki hokimiyat o‘rtasidagi omega ahd nikohining timsoli edi. Oxirgi, ya’ni omega ahd nikohida Misr tarixidagi eng birinchi, ya’ni alfa Kleopatra oxirgi, ya’ni omega Kleopatraga payg‘ambarlik rishtasi bo‘ldi; uning Mark Antoniy bilan bo‘lgan munosabati Oktaviya va Mark Antoniy o‘rtasidagi ajralish uchun murojaat nuqtasiga aylandi. Bu ajralish sharqdagi Mark Antoniy bilan g‘arbdagi Oktavian o‘rtasidagi qayta alangalangan adovatni belgilab berdi; bu adovat miloddan avvalgi 31 yilda Aktiy jangida nihoyasiga yetdi.
The treaty marriage of Brundisium in 40 BC was the alpha treaty marriage of the struggle between east and west, just as the treaty marriage of Laodice and Antiochus II Theo was the alpha of the struggle between north and south. The treaty marriage of 313 was the omega to the alpha treaty marriage of Mark Antony and Octavia, just as the treaty marriage between Ptolemy V and Cleopatra I Syra was the omega treaty marriage of the northern and southern kingdoms. The three treaty marriages that led to the omega treaty marriage of 313 all align, and provide three witnesses to the prophetic characteristics associated with the Edict of Milan. Together the four literal treaty marriages of east, west, north and south align with the two symbolic treaty marriages of the papacy.
Miloddan avvalgi 40-yildagi Brundisium shartnomaviy nikohi sharq bilan g‘arb o‘rtasidagi kurashning alfa shartnomaviy nikohi bo‘lgan, xuddi Laodice va Antiochus II Theo ning shartnomaviy nikohi shimol bilan janub o‘rtasidagi kurashning alfası bo‘lgani kabi. 313-yildagi shartnomaviy nikoh Mark Antony va Octavia ning alfa shartnomaviy nikohiga nisbatan omega bo‘lgan, xuddi Ptolemy V va Cleopatra I Syra o‘rtasidagi shartnomaviy nikoh shimoliy va janubiy shohliklarning omega shartnomaviy nikohi bo‘lgani kabi. 313-yildagi omega shartnomaviy nikohga olib kelgan uch shartnomaviy nikohning barchasi o‘zaro mos tushadi va Milan Edikti bilan bog‘liq payg‘ambarlik xususiyatlariga uch guvohlikni taqdim etadi. Sharq, g‘arb, shimol va janubning to‘rtta so‘zma-so‘z shartnomaviy nikohi birgalikda papalikning ikki ramziy shartnomaviy nikohi bilan o‘zaro mos tushadi.
In 496, Clovis the king of the Franks was married to Clotilda. Clotilda was a Burgundian princess, the daughter of King Chilperic II of Burgundy. After her father and mother were murdered in a family power struggle, she lived under the protection of her uncle before being given in marriage to Clovis I, king of the Franks, in 493. She was a Catholic, that is, she held the Nicene/orthodox faith of the Roman Church. This set her apart from many other Germanic royal families of the time, who were Arian Christians. Her mother Caretena had been Catholic, and Clotilda was raised in that faith. She is remembered for persistently urging Clovis to abandon paganism and accept Catholic baptism, and thereafter his conversion in 496 is one of the most important events in the early history of France and of Western so-called Christianity.
496-yilda franklar qiroli Xlodvix Klotilda bilan turmush qurgan edi. Klotilda Burgundiya malikasi, Burgundiya qiroli Xilperik II ning qizi edi. Otasi va onasi oilaviy hokimiyat kurashi chog‘ida o‘ldirilganidan so‘ng, u 493-yilda franklar qiroli Xlodvix I ga turmushga berilguniga qadar amakisining himoyasi ostida yashadi. U katolik edi, ya’ni Rim cherkovining Nikeya/ortodoks e’tiqodiga sodiq edi. Bu holat uni o‘sha davrdagi arian nasroniy bo‘lgan boshqa ko‘plab german qirollik oilalaridan ajratib turardi. Uning onasi Karetena katolik bo‘lgan, Klotilda esa shu e’tiqodda tarbiyalangan edi. U Xlodvixni butparastlikni tark etib, katolikcha cho‘qinishni qabul qilishga qat’iy va tinimsiz undagani bilan yodga olinadi; shundan keyin uning 496-yildagi imonga kelishi Fransiyaning ilk tarixi va G‘arbning shunday ataluvchi nasroniyligining eng muhim voqealaridan biri hisoblanadi.
Clovis vowed that if he won the battle of Tolbiac he would convert to Clotilda’s Catholic faith and be baptized. The Alemanni king was killed, their army broke, and the Franks won. After the victory Clotilda arranged for Bishop Remigius of Reims to instruct Clovis, and he was baptized (traditionally on Christmas Day 496), along with several thousand of his warriors.
Klovis agar Tolbiak jangida g‘alaba qozonsa, Klotildaning katolik e’tiqodiga o‘tishga va suvga cho‘mdirilishga qasam ichdi. Alemannlar qiroli o‘ldirildi, ularning qo‘shini parokanda bo‘ldi va franklar g‘alaba qozondilar. G‘alabadan so‘ng Klotilda Reymslik episkop Remigius Klovisga ta’lim berishini tashkil qildi va u bir necha ming jangchilari bilan birga suvga cho‘mdirildi (an’anaga ko‘ra, milodiy 496-yil Rojdestvo kunida).
Clovis was the king of the Franks, which in modern terms is the king of France. He became the first of the kings of Europe who would ultimately surrender their pagan religion and turn to Catholicism. For this reason, Clovis is considered the “eldest son of the Catholic church,” and France is called, “the eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” In 1980, when pope John Paul II visited France he asked, “France, eldest daughter of the Church, are you faithful to your baptism?”
Klovis franklarning qiroli edi; bu, zamonaviy ifoda bilan aytganda, Fransiya qiroli demakdir. U oxir-oqibat o‘zlarining butparast dinidan voz kechib, katoliklikka yuz buradigan Yevropa qirollari ichida birinchisi bo‘ldi. Shu sababli, Klovis “Katolik cherkovining to‘ng‘ich o‘g‘li” deb hisoblanadi, Fransiya esa “Katolik cherkovining to‘ng‘ich qizi” deb ataladi. 1980-yilda papa Ioann Pavel II Fransiyaga tashrif buyurganida shunday deb so‘radi: “Fransiya, Cherkovning to‘ng‘ich qizi, suvga cho‘mganingga sodiqmisan?”
Clovis' conversion to Nicene Catholicism identifies the start of a symbolic marriage procession that would lead to the symbolic treaty marriage of 538. The symbolic treaty marriage between Clovis and the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth was typified by the four previous treaty marriages in Daniel eleven. Clovis was the first European king to provide military and economic support for the Roman church and Clovis is therefore represented within the history in Daniel eleven.
Klovisning Nikeya katolitsizmiga qabul qilinishi 538-yildagi ramziy shartnomaviy nikohga olib boradigan ramziy nikoh yurishining boshlanishini anglatadi. Klovis bilan yer yuzining shohlari bilan zinokorlik qiladigan fohisha o‘rtasidagi ramziy shartnomaviy nikoh Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobdagi undan avvalgi to‘rtta shartnomaviy nikoh orqali oldindan timsollashtirilgan edi. Klovis Rim jamoatiga harbiy va iqtisodiy yordam ko‘rsatgan birinchi Yevropa qiroli edi, shu bois Klovis Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobdagi tarix doirasida ifodalangan.
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 uning tomonidan qo‘shinlar turib, qudrat maskanini bulg‘aydilar, doimiy qurbonlikni olib tashlaydilar va vayron qiluvchi jirkanch narsani o‘rnatadilar. Daniel 11:31.
Clovis in 496 marks the beginning of the European political structures to “stand up” to aid the papacy as it rose to power. It marks the beginning of a symbolic marriage procession. The “arms” of the verse would also pollute the “sanctuary of strength,” which for both pagan and papal Rome is the city of Rome.
496-yilda Klovis papalik hokimiyat tepasiga ko‘tarilar ekan, unga yordam berish uchun Yevropa siyosiy tuzilmalarining “o‘rnidan turishi”ning boshlanishini belgilaydi. Bu ramziy nikoh yurishining boshlanishini anglatadi. Oyatdagi “qo‘llar” ham “qudrat maskani”ni bulg‘aydi; butparast Rim uchun ham, papalik Rimi uchun ham bu — Rim shahridir.
Two Sanctuary's
Ikki Muqaddasxona
There are two different Hebrew words in the book of Daniel that are translated as “sanctuary.” The Hebrew words ‘miqdash’ and ‘qodesh’ are both translated as “sanctuary,” but qodesh can only represent a holy entity, whereas miqdash can represent either a holy or unholy sanctuary—as determined by context.
Doniyor kitobida “ma’bad” deb tarjima qilingan ikki xil ibroniycha so‘z bor. ‘Miqdash’ va ‘qodesh’ ibroniycha so‘zlarining ikkalasi ham “ma’bad” deb tarjima qilinadi, biroq qodesh faqat muqaddas bir narsani anglatishi mumkin, holbuki miqdash esa — matn mazmuniga qarab — muqaddas yoki nomuqaddas ma’badni anglatishi mumkin.
The “sanctuary of strength” in verse thirty-one is ‘miqdash’ and represents the sanctuary of Rome’s strength, which for both pagan and papal Rome was the city of Rome. From the battle of Actium, when Octavian united the empire, pagan Rome was invincible for three hundred and sixty years (a time) in fulfilment of verse twenty-four of Daniel eleven.
O‘ttiz birinchi oyatdagi “qudrat ma’badi” — bu “miqdash” bo‘lib, Rimning qudratining ma’badini anglatadi; butparast Rim uchun ham, papalik Rimi uchun ham bu Rim shahri edi. Oktavian imperiyani birlashtirgan Aktiy jangidan boshlab, butparast Rim Doniyol o‘n birinchi bob yigirma to‘rtinchi oyatining bajarilishi sifatida uch yuz oltmish yil (bir vaqt) davomida yengilmas edi.
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.
U viloyatning eng serhosil joylariga ham tinchlik bilan kirib boradi; va u o‘z ota-bobolari ham, ulardan avvalgi otalari ham qilmagan ishni qiladi; u ular orasida o‘ljani, talon-tarojni va boyliklarni sochadi; ha, u bir muddatgacha istehkomlarga qarshi o‘z rejalari-ni tuzadi. Doniyor 11:24.
When pagan Rome ruled from the city of Rome it was invincible, but when Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople in 330, the “time” of verse twenty-four was fulfilled. When the last of the three horns (the Goths) of Daniel seven were driven out of the city, papal Rome prophetically took the throne as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 538. The Goths had besieged Rome, but ultimately retreated as Belsarius, general for Justinian secured the city. The Roman church then ruled supremely for twelve hundred and sixty years until Napoleon had the pope removed and put in exile in 1798.
Butparast Rim Rim shahridan hukmronlik qilgan paytda yengilmas edi, ammo Konstantin 330-yilda poytaxtni Konstantinopolga ko‘chirganida, yigirma to‘rtinchi oyatdagi “vaqt” ado bo‘ldi. Doniyor yettidagi uch shoxning oxirgisi (gotlar) shahardan quvib chiqarilgach, papalik Rimi bashoratga ko‘ra 538-yilda Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining beshinchi shohligi sifatida taxtni egalladi. Gotlar Rimni qamal qilgan edilar, biroq oxir-oqibatda Yustinian nomidan lashkarboshi Belsariy shaharni mustahkamlab olgach, chekindilar. Shundan so‘ng Rim cherkovi 1260 yil davomida oliy hukmronlik qildi, to Napoleon 1798-yilda papani lavozimidan chetlatib, surgunga yuborgunicha.
Rome, “the sanctuary of strength” was “polluted,” (polluted, meaning ‘wounded or dissolved’), through the “arms” from the ongoing warfare against the city, represented primarily by the first four trumpets of Revelation chapter eight.
Rim, “qudrat maskani”, “harom qilindi” (“harom qilindi” degani — “yaralantirildi yoki parchalatildi”), shaharga qarshi davom etayotgan urushdan kelib chiqqan “qo‘llar” orqali; bu urush asosan Vahiyning sakkizinchi bobidagi dastlabki to‘rtta karnay orqali tasvirlangan.
The history that ensued from 496 onward would see the city of Rome polluted as it changed from the power and glory of the Roman empire unto the power and glory of the Roman Catholic empire. Those arms would take away the religion of paganism, represented by the word “daily” in the passage, as they accepted the religion of Nicene Catholicism.
496-yildan boshlab yuzaga kelgan tarix shuni ko‘rsatadiki, Rim shahri Rim imperiyasining qudrati va ulug‘vorligidan Rim-katolik imperiyasining qudrati va ulug‘vorligiga o‘tar ekan, bulg‘anib qoldi. O‘sha kuchlar, matndagi “doimiy” so‘zi bilan ifodalangan butparastlik dinini, Nikeya katolitsizmi dinini qabul qilganlari bois, olib tashlar edi.
At the battle of Vouillé, Clovis defeated the Arian Visigoths under Alaric II and took Aquitaine. In the aftermath of the victory, in 508, the Eastern emperor Anastasius I (in Constantinople) honored Clovis for his victory over the Visigoths. Gregory of Tours says that Anastasius sent Clovis' official papers making him consul. At Tours, in Saint Martin’s church, Clovis put on a purple tunic and cloak, set a diadem on his head, rode out, and scattered gold and silver to the crowd. Gregory says that from that day he was hailed as consul and recognized by the Roman emperor that Clovis was a legitimate Christian king in the west. He was rewarded for breaking the Arian Visigoths, whom Constantinople also opposed. 508 is the year the emperor in the East publicly honored the Catholic Frankish king—church, victory, and Roman legitimacy in one scene. 508 is the year the Frankish Catholic kingdom stood as the dominant Catholic power in Gaul after breaking Arian Visigoth’s rule. Clovis is the first major barbarian king to fight for Nicene Catholicism against Arian kingdoms, and thus the prototype of the French role as “eldest daughter of the Church.” Clovis represents the period of 496 unto 508 and is the alpha symbol of the symbolic marriage treaty. The thirty years from 508 unto 538 are represented by Justinian who is the omega symbol of the procession.
Vouillé jangida Klovis Alarik II boshchiligidagi arian vizigotlarni mag‘lub etib, Akvitaniyani egalladi. G‘alabadan keyin, 508-yilda, Sharq imperatori Anastasius I (Konstantinopolda) Klovisni vizigotlar ustidan qozongan g‘alabasi uchun sharafladi. Turlik Grigoriy Anastasius Klovisga uni konsul etib tayinlaganini bildiruvchi rasmiy hujjatlarni yuborganini aytadi. Tur shahrida, Muqaddas Martin cherkovida, Klovis binafsha rangli tunika va plash kiydi, boshiga diadema qo‘ydi, otga minib chiqdi va xaloyiq orasiga oltin-kumush sochdi. Grigoriy aytadiki, o‘sha kundan boshlab u konsul sifatida olqishlandi va Rim imperatori tomonidan Klovis g‘arbda qonuniy nasroniy podshoh ekanligi tan olindi. U Konstantinopol ham qarshi turgan arian vizigotlarni sindirgani uchun mukofotlandi. 508 — Sharqdagi imperator katolik frank podshohini ochiqchasiga sharaflagan yil — cherkov, g‘alaba va Rimiy qonuniylik bir manzarada mujassam bo‘lgan yil. 508 — arian vizigotlar hukmronligini sindirgach, Galliyada franklarning katolik qirolligi ustun katolik qudrat sifatida namoyon bo‘lgan yil. Klovis arian qirolliklarga qarshi Nikeya katolitsizmi uchun kurashgan birinchi yirik barbar podshohdir va shu bois “Cherkovning to‘ng‘ich qizi” sifatidagi fransuz vazifasining prototipidir. Klovis 496 yildan 508 yilgacha bo‘lgan davrni ifodalaydi va ramziy nikoh ahdnomasining alfa timsolidir. 508 yildan 538 yilgacha bo‘lgan o‘ttiz yil esa marosimning omega timsoli bo‘lgan Yustinian tomonidan ifodalanadi.
In 538, the “arms” placed the papal power on the throne of the earth for 1260 years. It was then that the symbolic treaty marriage was consummated at the conclusion of the marriage procession that had begun in 496. In 1798, the treaty marriage that had begun between the pope of Rome and Clovis of France, was disannulled when Napoleon of France divorced the papal power by having his general take the pope captive.
538-yilda “qo‘llar” papalik hokimiyatini yer yuzining taxtiga 1260 yilga o‘tqazdi. Aynan o‘sha paytda 496-yilda boshlangan nikoh marosimi yurishining yakunida ramziy ahd nikohi consummatsiya qilindi. 1798-yilda esa Rim papasi bilan Fransiyaning Xlodvigi o‘rtasida boshlangan ahd nikohi Fransiyaning Napoleoni o‘z generaliga papani asir oldirish orqali papalik hokimiyati bilan ajrashganida bekor qilindi.
The alpha symbolic papal treaty marriage, which had begun its marriage procession in 496, was consummated at the Sunday law in 538, and it was thereafter disannulled in 1798, just as was every other treaty marriage of Daniel eleven. Revelation adds to the papal marital relationship between the kings of Europe and popes of Catholicism, for the dragon of Revelation twelve is both Satan and pagan Rome’s kings.
496-yilda nikoh yurishini boshlagan alfa ramziy papalik shartnomaviy nikohi 538-yildagi yakshanba qonuni bilan nihoyasiga yetdi va shundan keyin, Doniyor o‘n birdagi boshqa har bir shartnomaviy nikoh kabi, 1798-yilda bekor qilindi. Vahiy esa Yevropa shohlari bilan katoliklik papalari o‘rtasidagi papalik nikohiy munosabatiga qo‘shimcha qiladi, chunki Vahiy o‘n ikkidagi ajdaho ham Shaytonning o‘zi, ham butparast Rim shohlaridir.
“Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 439.
“Shunday qilib, ajdarho, avvalo, Shaytonni ifodalasa-da, ikkilamchi ma’noda butparast Rimning ramzidir.” Buyuk kurash, 439.
In Revelation John informs us of three things the kings (the dragon) gave to the sea beast of Catholicism.
Vahiy kitobida Yuhanno bizga shuni ma’lum qiladiki, shohlar (ajdarho) katolitsizmning dengizdan chiqqan maxluqiga uch narsa berdi.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 13:2.
Men ko‘rgan mahluq qoplonga o‘xshar edi, uning oyoqlari ayiqning oyoqlariday, og‘zi esa sherning og‘ziday edi; va ajdaho unga o‘z qudratini, taxtini va ulug‘ hokimiyatini berdi. Vahiy 13:2.
In 496, the kings of Europe began providing the papal beast their “power” as represented by their military might and economic support. They had moved the capital of their empire to Constantinople in 330, leaving the city of Rome as the “seat” of the papal authority. The “arms” thereafter identified the papal church as the head of all churches in 533 with the decree of Justinian. The decree included the use of their military might to persecute those who the papacy identified as heretics, thus placing their civil “authority” into the hands of the popes.
496-yilda Yevropa podshohlari papalik yirtqichiga o‘zlarining harbiy qudrati va iqtisodiy ko‘magi bilan ifodalangan “qudrat”larini bera boshladilar. Ular 330-yilda imperiyalarining poytaxtini Konstantinopolga ko‘chirgan edilar, shu tariqa Rim shahrini papalik hokimiyatining “taxti” sifatida qoldirdilar. Shundan so‘ng “qo‘shinlar” 533-yilda Yustinian farmoni bilan papalik cherkovini barcha cherkovlarning boshlig‘i sifatida belgiladi. Bu farmon papalik bid’atchilar deb belgilagan kishilarni ta’qib qilish uchun ularning harbiy qudratidan foydalanishni ham o‘z ichiga olgan edi; shu tariqa ular o‘zlarining fuqaroviy “hokimiyat”larini papalarning qo‘liga topshirdilar.
The alpha treaty marriage between the papacy and the kings of Europe began with Clovis in 496. By 508, paganism, the legal religion of the realm was set aside for the religion of Nicene Catholicism. In 533, Justinian identified the papacy as the head of all churches, and surrendered the legal authority of their respective thrones unto the papal power.
Papalik bilan Yevropa shohlari o‘rtasidagi alfa ahd nikohi 496-yilda Klovis bilan boshlandi. 508-yilga kelib, saltanatning qonuniy dini bo‘lgan butparastlik chetga surilib, uning o‘rniga Nikeya katolitsizmi dini o‘rnatildi. 533-yilda Yustinian papalikni barcha jamoatlarning boshlig‘i deb e’tirof etdi va ularning tegishli taxtlariga mansub qonuniy hokimiyatni papalik qudratiga topshirdi.
The Alpha and Omega Seat
Alfa va Omega O‘rindig‘i
In 330, the city of Rome was left in the hands of the Roman church where she would be seated until she is destroyed in the lake of fire at Christ’s second coming. In 538, she was officially seated again upon the papal throne, thus identifying the history of 330 unto 538 as a prophetic period that begins with an alpha seat and ends with an omega seat. The period represents the ending of the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy (Pergamos) as a progressive demise beginning in 330 and ending in 538 with the arrival of Thyatira. Both western and eastern Rome continued the slow dissolution beyond 538, but the period began with giving the seat, representing the city of Rome to the papacy in 330, until the seat became not simply a throne over the city, but over the kingdom represented by the city in 538.
330-yilda Rim shahri Rim jamoatining qo‘liga topshirildi; u Masihning ikkinchi kelishida olov ko‘liga tashlab yo‘q qilinmaguncha o‘sha yerda o‘tirgan bo‘lur. 538-yilda esa u papa taxtiga rasman yana o‘tqazildi; shu tariqa 330-yildan 538-yilgacha bo‘lgan tarix alfa o‘rindig‘i bilan boshlanib, omega o‘rindig‘i bilan yakun topadigan bashoratli davr sifatida aniqlanadi. Bu davr Muqaddas Kitob bashoratidagi to‘rtinchi shohlikning (Pergamosning) 330-yilda boshlanib, 538-yilda Tiyatiraning kelishi bilan tugaydigan izchil tanazzuli sifatidagi yakunini ifodalaydi. G‘arbiy hamda sharqiy Rim 538-yildan keyin ham sekin parchalanishda davom etdi, biroq bu davr 330-yilda Rim shahrini anglatadigan o‘rindiqning papalikka berilishi bilan boshlangan bo‘lib, 538-yilda o‘sha o‘rindiq shunchaki shahar ustidagi taxt emas, balki shahar bilan ifodalangan shohlik ustidagi taxtga aylanguncha davom etdi.
330 to 538 is a specific prophetic period that defines the ‘eight’ waymarks of the papacy’s empowerment. Those eight steps are repeated in the healing of the papacy’s deadly wound at the soon-coming Sunday law.
330 dan 538 gacha bo‘lgan davr papalikning qudratlantirilishidagi “sakkiz” tamg‘ani belgilab beruvchi muayyan bashoratli davrdir. O‘sha sakkiz bosqich tez orada keladigan Yakshanba qonunida papalikning o‘limli yarasining sog‘ayishida takrorlanadi.
The first of the eight steps was the giving of the city of Rome to the papal power, and the eighth step was the giving of the city as the throne of the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy. This identifies 538 as the seat, and as ‘the eighth step, that is of the previous seven steps.’ The first step was the giving of the seat and the eighth step was the giving of the seat; thus, the first step in 330 is the alpha and 538 is the omega. Two seats, three horns removed, the daily taken away, Clovis’ conversion and Justinian’s decree equal eight total steps that identify the marriage procession, and ultimately the marriage.
Sakkiz qadamning birinchisi Rim shahrining papalik hokimiyatiga berilishi edi, sakkizinchi qadam esa shaharning Muqaddas Kitob bashoratidagi beshinchi shohlikning taxti sifatida berilishi edi. Bu 538-yilni “o‘rindiq” sifatida va “sakkizinchi qadam, ya’ni avvalgi yetti qadamdan bo‘lgan” qadam sifatida belgilaydi. Birinchi qadam o‘rindiqning berilishi edi va sakkizinchi qadam ham o‘rindiqning berilishi edi; demak, 330-yildagi birinchi qadam alfa, 538-yil esa omega hisoblanadi. Ikki o‘rindiq, olib tashlangan uchta shox, yo‘q qilingan kundalik, Xlodvigning imonga kirishi va Yustinianning farmoni — bularning barchasi nikoh yurishini va oxir-oqibat nikohning o‘zini belgilab beruvchi jami sakkiz qadamni tashkil etadi.
In 1798, France, the power who had represented the ten European kings, who placed the papacy on the throne in 538, removed the papacy from that very throne. The alpha treaty marriage represented in the history of 538 unto 1798 typifies the omega treaty marriage of the papal power with the ten kings of Revelation seventeen. The marriage procession from 496 unto 538 typifies eight steps that align with the last eight presidents of the United States. Clovis and France are symbols of the ten European kings. They represent the United States who will become the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings at the soon-coming Sunday law.
1798-yilda, 538-yilda papalikni taxtga o‘tqazgan va Yevropaning o‘n shohini ifodalagan kuch bo‘lgan Fransiya papalikni aynan o‘sha taxtdan tushirdi. 538-yildan 1798-yilgacha bo‘lgan tarixda ifodalangan alfa ahd nikohi Vahiy kitobining o‘n yettinchi bobidagi papalik hokimiyatining o‘n shoh bilan bo‘ladigan omega ahd nikohining timsolidir. 496-yildan 538-yilgacha bo‘lgan nikoh yurishi Qo‘shma Shtatlarning oxirgi sakkiz prezidenti bilan mos keladigan sakkiz bosqichning timsolidir. Xlodvig va Fransiya Yevropaning o‘n shohining ramzlaridir. Ular yaqin orada chiqadigan Yakshanba qonuni paytida Vahiy kitobining o‘n yettinchi bobidagi o‘n shoh orasida bosh shohga aylanadigan Qo‘shma Shtatlarni ifodalaydi.
The five previous treaty marriages of Daniel eleven align with the sixth and final treaty marriage of the latter days. The alpha and omega treaty marriages of north and south identify the bride from the south as the alpha and the omega is a bride from the north. In the treaty marriages of pagan Rome, the alpha bride from the east was given to the west, and the omega of 313 was a bride from the west. Those four marriages are prophetically linked together by Cleopatra the first and Cleopatra the last. The symbolic treaty marriage of papal Rome represented the groom as the premier king of a prophetic confederacy of ten kings joining with their bride—the scarlet woman of Rome. The divorce was carried out by the premier king of the ten kings in 1798.
Daniel kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi avvalgi besh ahd nikohi so‘nggi kunlardagi oltinchi va yakuniy ahd nikohiga mos keladi. Shimol va janubning alfa va omega ahd nikohlari kelinni janubdan bo‘lgan alfa sifatida, omega esa shimoldan bo‘lgan kelin sifatida aniqlaydi. Butparast Rimning ahd nikohlarida sharqdan bo‘lgan alfa kelin g‘arbga berildi, 313-yilning omegasi esa g‘arbdan bo‘lgan kelin edi. Bu to‘rt nikoh bashoratan birinchi Kleopatra va so‘nggi Kleopatra orqali o‘zaro bog‘langan. Papalik Rimining ramziy ahd nikohi kuyovni o‘n shohdan iborat bashoratli konfederatsiyaning bosh shohi sifatida, uning kelini bilan — Rimning qirmizi ayoli bilan — birlashgan holda ifodalagan. Ajralish 1798-yilda o‘n shohning bosh shohi tomonidan amalga oshirildi.
The treaty marriage of 313 represents the final treaty marriage of the papal power with the United States—the premier king of Revelation seventeen’s ten kings; a two horned power that is typified by the two horned power of France. The history that began with Clovis in 496 and ultimately led to the decree of Justinian in 533 and the enthronement of the papacy in 538, represents the history of 1989 unto the Sunday law.
313-yildagi ahd nikohi papalik hokimiyatining Qo‘shma Shtatlar bilan tuzadigan so‘nggi ahd nikohini ifodalaydi — Vahiy kitobining o‘n yettinchi bobidagi o‘nta shohning eng bosh shohi; Fransiyaning ikki shoxli hokimiyati orqali timsollangan ikki shoxli bir hokimiyat. Klovis bilan 496-yilda boshlangan va oxir-oqibat 533-yildagi Yustinian farmoniga hamda 538-yilda papalikning taxtga o‘tqazilishiga olib kelgan tarix, 1989-yildan Yakshanba qonunigacha bo‘lgan tarixni ifodalaydi.
