I contend that it is important to understand the connection of the symbol of four generations with the latter rain message to have the best hope of recognizing the significance of the opening four verses of Joel chapter one. Joel sings the song of the vineyard, but his opening stanza is the covenant’s prophetic association with four generations.
Men shuni ta’kidlaymanki, Yoel kitobining birinchi bobidagi dastlabki to‘rt oyatning ahamiyatini anglash uchun to‘rt avlod timsolining so‘nggi yomg‘ir xabari bilan bog‘liqligini tushunish muhimdir. Yoel uzumzor qo‘shig‘ini kuylaydi, biroq uning kirish bandi ahdning to‘rt avlod bilan bo‘lgan bashoratli bog‘liqligidir.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. Genesis 15:13–16.
Va U Abramga dedi: “Aniq bilgilki, sening zurriyoting o‘zlariga tegishli bo‘lmagan yurtda musofir bo‘ladi, ularga qullik qiladi; va ular to‘rt yuz yil davomida eziladi. Ammo ular qullik qiladigan o‘sha xalqni Men hukm qilaman; shundan keyin ular katta boylik bilan chiqib ketadilar. Sen esa ota-bobolaring huzuriga tinchlikda ketarsan; yaxshi qarilikda dafn etilursan. Lekin to‘rtinchi avlodda ular yana bu yerga qaytib keladilar; chunki Amoriylarning gunohkorligi hali to‘lib yetmagan”. Ibtido 15:13–16.
This passage is the prophecy that was fulfilled through the life of Moses. When the book of Joel begins the song of the vineyard by referencing four generations of escalating destruction, it is aligning the book of Joel with the prophetic fourth and final generation. That generation is Peter’s “chosen generation” who have been called out of darkness into His “marvelous light.” They are contrasted with their generational counterpart represented as a generation of vipers. That fourth and final generation is represented by John, who is a symbol of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who “are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Ushbu parcha Musoning hayoti orqali bajo keltirilgan bashoratdir. Yo‘el kitobi uzumzor haqidagi qo‘shiqni tobora kuchayib boruvchi vayronagarchilikning to‘rt avlodiga ishora qilish bilan boshlaganida, u Yo‘el kitobini bashoratdagi to‘rtinchi va yakuniy avlod bilan uyg‘unlashtirmoqda. O‘sha avlod Butrusning “tanlangan avlod”idir; ular zulmatdan Uning “ajoyib nuriga” chorlab chiqarilganlardir. Ular nasliy muqobili bo‘lgan, ilonlar nasli sifatida tasvirlangan avlodga qarama-qarshi qo‘yiladi. O‘sha to‘rtinchi va yakuniy avlod Yuhanno orqali ifodalanadi; u “chorlangan, tanlangan va sodiq” bo‘lgan bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining timsolidir.
Called at 9/11, chosen in the Midnight Cry and faithful at the Sunday law crisis, just as the Levites were faithful in Aarons and Jeroboams’ golden calf rebellions. The souls who are purified as silver in Malachi three, are Levites who are chosen during the message of the Midnight Cry, for the sealing is accomplished with, and by, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
9/11 da chaqirilgan, Yarim tun faryodida tanlangan va Yakshanba qonuni inqirozi paytida sodiq bo‘lganlar, xuddi levilar Horun va Yorubomning oltin buzoq isyonlarida sodiq bo‘lganlari kabi. Malaki uchinchi bobda kumush kabi poklanadigan jonlar — Yarim tun faryodi xabari davomida tanlanadigan levilardir, chunki muhrlash Muqaddas Ruhning to‘kilishi bilan va shu orqali amalga oshiriladi.
In the previous article we brought out lines from the history of Moses, who Sister White identifies as the alpha of Bible prophecy, who prophetically connects with Christ as the omega of Bible prophecy. Moses is the foundation stone and Christ is the capstone. They both are symbols of deliverance from sin, as represented by the deliverance from Egypt with Moses. Yet all the manifestations of the power of God that occurred at the hands of Moses, were far surpassed, when Christ confirmed the covenant with many for one week. Moses is the alpha and Christ is the omega, and the omega is the number “22” and the alpha is the number “1.”
Oldingi maqolada biz Musoning tarixidan olingan yo‘nalishlarni bayon qildik; Sister White Musoni Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining alifasi deb belgilaydi, u esa bashoriy ma’noda Masih bilan — Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining omegasi bilan — bog‘lanadi. Muso poydevor toshi, Masih esa bosh tamal toshidir. Ikkalasi ham gunohdan qutqarilishning timsollaridir; bu Muso orqali Misrdan qutqarilishda ifodalangan. Biroq Musoning qo‘li bilan sodir bo‘lgan Xudoning qudratining barcha namoyonlari ham, Masih ko‘plar bilan ahdni bir hafta davomida tasdiqlaganida, undan ancha ortda qoldi. Muso alifa, Masih esa omegadir, va omega “22” soni, alifa esa “1” sonidir.
Dealing with Moses we find the deliverance which pervades his prophetic testimony is set within water. His deliverance from the water of the Nile at his birth, typified Noah in the ark. The baptism at the Red Sea aligns with Noah and the eight within the ark, which in turn aligns with the baptism of Joshua at the Jordan River, that was repeated by Christ at the very same spot. The testimony of Moses begins with deliverance at the Nile River and ends at the banks of the Jordan River. The baptism of Christ was His anointing to witness for three and a half years leading up to His death, which was represented at the beginning at His baptism. At His resurrection there was a few drops until the full outpouring at Pentecost.
Muso bilan bog‘liq holda, uning payg‘ambarlik guvohligini qamrab olgan najot suv ichida joylashtirilganini ko‘ramiz. Uning tug‘ilganida Nil daryosining suvidan qutqarilishi kemadagi Nuhning timsoli edi. Qizil dengizdagi cho‘mish Nuh va kemadagi sakkiz kishi bilan uyg‘unlashadi; bu esa, o‘z navbatida, keyinchalik Masih aynan o‘sha joyda takrorlagan Iordaniya daryosidagi Yoshuaning cho‘mishi bilan uyg‘unlashadi. Musoning guvohligi Nil daryosida najot bilan boshlanadi va Iordaniya daryosi qirg‘oqlarida yakunlanadi. Masihning cho‘mishi Uning o‘limiga olib borgan uch yarim yil davomida guvohlik berish uchun moylanishi edi; bu Uning cho‘mishida boshidayoq ifodalangan edi. Uning tirilishida bir necha tomchi bo‘ldi, to Hosil bayramidagi to‘liq to‘kilishgacha.
God’s covenant promise to mankind begins with Noah, and His covenant promise to a chosen people through Abraham was fulfilled with Moses. Moses the alpha typified Jesus the omega who would come and confirm the covenant with “many,” not just a chosen people. As a type of Christ, Moses’ birth aligns with the covenant given to Noah, with the rainbow as the sign for all people. Moses also aligns with the covenant given to a chosen people, with circumcision as the sign for the chosen people. Moses’ covenant work was with “many,” not simply a chosen people. If that had not been the case, they would not have been constantly plagued by the mixed multitude.
Xudoning insoniyatga bergan ahd va’dasi Nuhdan boshlanadi, va Uning Ibrohim orqali tanlangan xalqka bergan ahd va’dasi Muso bilan amalga oshdi. Alfa bo‘lgan Muso kelajakda kelib ahdni faqat tanlangan xalq bilan emas, balki “ko‘plar” bilan tasdiqlaydigan omega bo‘lgan Isoning timsoli edi. Masihning timsoli sifatida Musoning tug‘ilishi Nuhga berilgan ahdga mos keladi; uning belgisi barcha odamlar uchun kamalak edi. Muso, shuningdek, tanlangan xalq uchun belgi bo‘lgan sunnat bilan tanlangan xalqka berilgan ahdga ham mos keladi. Musoning ahdga oid xizmati shunchaki tanlangan xalq bilan emas, balki “ko‘plar” bilan edi. Agar shunday bo‘lmaganida, ular aralash olomon balosidan doimo aziyat chekib yurmagan bo‘lur edilar.
In the middle of all the various ‘waters of deliverance’ represented throughout the life of Moses, the baptism at Bethabara on the Jordan River connects the beginning of ancient Israel’s covenant history in the Promised Land with the end of its history, during the week that Christ confirmed the covenant with many. Christ’s baptism aligns with ancient Israel’s baptism and both histories speak to His resurrection when He breathed a few drops of rain, before the plentiful showers at Pentecost fifty days later. The entire line of alpha and omega in terms of Moses to Christ is portrayed within the waters of deliverance.
Muso hayoti davomida ifodalangan turli xil «qutqarilish suvlari»ning barchasi orasida, Iordaniya daryosidagi Bethabarada bo‘lgan cho‘mish qadimgi Isroilning Va’da qilingan yurtdagi ahd tarixining boshlanishini Masih ko‘plar bilan ahdni tasdiqlagan hafta davomida uning tarixining nihoyasi bilan bog‘laydi. Masihning cho‘mishi qadimgi Isroilning cho‘mishi bilan uyg‘unlashadi va bu ikki tarixning har ikkalasi ham Uning tirilishi haqida so‘zlaydi; o‘sha paytda U ellik kun o‘tib Hosil bayramida yog‘adigan mo‘l-ko‘l jala oldidan yomg‘irning bir necha tomchisini pufladi. Musodan Masihgacha bo‘lgan alfa va omega chizig‘ining butuni qutqarilish suvlari ichida tasvirlangan.
“In teaching these disciples, Jesus showed the importance of the Old Testament as a witness to His mission. Many professed Christians now discard the Old Testament, claiming that it is no longer of any use. But such is not Christ’s teaching. So highly did He value it that at one time He said, ‘If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.’ Luke 16:31.
“Bu shogirdlarga ta’lim berar ekan, Iso O‘z missiyasiga guvohlik beruvchi sifatida Eski Ahdning ahamiyatini ko‘rsatdi. Hozir ko‘plab masihiylikka e’tiqod qiluvchilar Eski Ahdni endi hech qanday foydasi yo‘q, deb uni chetga surib qo‘ymoqdalar. Ammo Masihning ta’limoti bunday emas. U uni shu qadar yuksak qadrlaganki, bir safar shunday degan edi: ‘Agar ular Muso bilan payg‘ambarlarni tinglamasalar, o‘liklardan biri tirilib kelgan taqdirda ham ishonmaydilar.’ Luqo 16:31.”
“It is the voice of Christ that speaks through patriarchs and prophets, from the days of Adam even to the closing scenes of time. The Saviour is revealed in the Old Testament as clearly as in the New. It is the light from the prophetic past that brings out the life of Christ and the teachings of the New Testament with clearness and beauty. The miracles of Christ are a proof of His divinity; but a stronger proof that He is the world’s Redeemer is found in comparing the prophecies of the Old Testament with the history of the New.” The Desire of Ages, 799.
“Bu Odamning kunlaridan tortib zamonning yakunlovchi voqealarigacha patriarxlar va payg‘ambarlar orqali so‘zlayotgan Masihning ovozidir. Najotkor Eski Ahdda ham Yangi Ahddagidek ravshan ochib berilgan. Masihning hayoti va Yangi Ahd ta’limotlarini ravshanlik hamda go‘zallik bilan namoyon etib beradigan narsa — bashoratli o‘tmishdan keladigan nurdir. Masihning mo‘jizalari Uning ilohiyligining dalilidir; ammo U dunyoning Najotkori ekanining bundan-da kuchliroq dalili Eski Ahd bashoratlarini Yangi Ahd tarixiga qiyoslashda topiladi.” Asrlar Orzusi, 799.
In the articles addressing the book of Joel, we have been “comparing the prophecies of the Old Testament with the history of the New,” and also the history of modern spiritual Israel. Whether it is the Old or New Testaments or the history of the three angels that began in 1798, all of those lines are represented as “the voice of Christ.” The written testimony of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy is the voice of Christ, and the voice of Christ, is the voice of He who is the Word of God.
Yo‘el kitobiga bag‘ishlangan maqolalarda biz “Eski Ahd bashoratlarini Yangi Ahd tarixi bilan”, shuningdek zamonaviy ruhiy Isroil tarixi bilan ham qiyoslab kelmoqdamiz. U Eski Ahd bo‘ladimi, Yangi Ahd bo‘ladimi yoki 1798-yilda boshlangan uch farishtaning tarixi bo‘ladimi, ana shu yo‘nalishlarning barchasi “Masihning ovozi” sifatida tasvirlanadi. Muqaddas Kitobning va Bashorat Ruhi ning yozma guvohligi — bu Masihning ovozidir, va Masihning ovozi esa Xudoning Kalomi bo‘lgan Zotning ovozidir.
The “voice” of the Word of God, is God’s message as represented in His written Word. His message in the last days is the message of the latter rain, which includes a former rain, followed by a former and latter rain, according to Joel.
Xudoning Kalomining “ovozi” — bu Uning yozma Kalomida ifodalangan Xudoning xabaridir. Oxirgi kunlardagi Uning xabari keyingi yomg‘ir xabaridir; u Yoilga ko‘ra, oldingi yomg‘irni, so‘ng esa oldingi va keyingi yomg‘irni o‘z ichiga oladi.
John the Revelator represents the one hundred and forty-four thousand who return to the old paths, for he hears a “voice” behind him. The “voice” behind is the voice of Christ “from the days of Adam” onward.
Vahiy oluvchi Yuhanno eski yo‘llarga qaytadigan bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishini ifodalaydi, chunki u orqasidan kelgan “ovoz”ni eshitadi. Orqadagi “ovoz” Odam Ato davridan boshlab Masihning ovozidir.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. Revelation 1:12.
Va men men bilan soʻzlashayotgan ovozni koʻrish uchun oʻgirildim. Oʻgirilganimda esa, yetti oltin shamdonni koʻrdim. Vahiy 1:12.
The verse represents a break in chapter one, for up until the previous verse John was in the isle which is called Patmos, but in verse twelve he turns, and from there on John is in the Heavenly Sanctuary. When he turns, he is doing so, for in verse ten he had heard a voice from behind.
Bu oyat birinchi bobdagi uzilishni ifodalaydi, chunki undan oldingi oyatgacha Yuhanno Patmos deb ataladigan orolda edi, ammo o‘n ikkinchi oyatda u ortiga buriladi, va shundan keyin Yuhanno Samoviy Muqaddas Maskanda bo‘ladi. U burilganida, buni qilayotgan edi, chunki o‘ninchi oyatda u orqasidan bir ovozni eshitgan edi.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. Revelation 1:10, 11.
Men Rabbiyning kunida Ruhda edim, va orqamdan karnay sadosidek baland bir ovozni eshitdim; u shunday der edi: Men Alfa va Omegamman, birinchi va oxirgiman; va: Ko‘rganingni kitobga yozib, Osiyodagi yetti jamoatga: Efesga, va Smirnaga, va Pergamga, va Tiyatiraga, va Sardisga, va Filadelfiyaga, va Laodikiyaga yubor. Vahiy 1:10, 11.
John represents those who hear the voice of Christ behind them. He hears Jeremiah’s trumpet message to return to the old paths, the paths the wicked refused to walk in and the warning trumpet they refuse to listen to. John listened, and the voice behind him identified himself as Alpha and Omega—the One who illustrates the new path, with the old path.
Yuhanno Masihning orqalaridan kelayotgan ovozni eshitadiganlarni ifodalaydi. U Yeremiyoning eski yo‘llarga — fosiqlar yurishni rad etgan yo‘llarga va ular quloq solishni istamaydigan ogohlantiruvchi karnayga — qaytishga chorlovchi karnay xabarini eshitadi. Yuhanno quloq soldi, va orqasidagi ovoz O‘zini Alfa va Omega — eski yo‘l bilan yangi yo‘lni namoyon qiluvchi Zot — deb tanitdi.
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. Revelation 1:13–16.
Yetti shamdonning o‘rtasida esa Inson O‘g‘liga o‘xshash Zot bor edi; U oyog‘igacha tushadigan kiyim kiygan va ko‘ksiga oltin kamar bog‘lagan edi. Uning boshi va sochlari jun kabi oppoq, qordek oq edi; ko‘zlari esa olov alangasidek edi; oyoqlari xuddi pechda qizdirilgandek toza misga o‘xshar edi; va Uning ovozi ko‘p suvlarning shovqinidek edi. U O‘zining o‘ng qo‘lida yetti yulduzni tutar edi; Uning og‘zidan o‘tkir, ikki tig‘li qilich chiqar edi; va Uning siymosi qudrati bilan porlayotgan quyosh kabidir. Vahiy 1:13–16.
In verse twelve John turns around and sees a vision of Christ which Sister White aligns with the vision of Christ that Daniel had, which is the vision Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Paul had.
O‘n ikkinchi oyatda Yuhanno ortiga burilib, Masihning vahiyini ko‘radi; Opa Uayt uni Doniyor ko‘rgan Masih vahiyiga, shuningdek Ishayo, Eremiyo, Hizqiyol va Pavlus ko‘rgan vahiyga muvofiq deb biladi.
“It is with an earnest longing that I look forward to the time when the events of the day of Pentecost shall be repeated with even greater power than on that occasion. John says, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.’ Then, as at the Pentecostal season, the people will hear the truth spoken to them, every man in his own tongue.
“Men Hosil bayrami kunidagi voqealar o‘sha paytdagidan ham buyukroq qudrat bilan takrorlanadigan vaqtni samimiy sog‘inch bilan kutmoqdaman. Yuhanno shunday deydi: ‘Men osmondan tushib kelayotgan boshqa bir farishtani ko‘rdim; unda ulkan qudrat bor edi; va yer uning ulug‘vorligidan yorishdi.’ Shunda, Hosil bayrami paytidagidek, odamlar haqiqatning o‘zlariga har biri o‘z tilida aytilayotganini eshitadilar.
“God can breathe new life into every soul that sincerely desires to serve Him [Adam and Ezekiel’s valley of bones], and can touch the lips with a live coal from off the altar [Isaiah], and cause them to become eloquent with His praise. Thousands of voices will be imbued with the power to speak forth the wonderful truths of God’s Word. The stammering tongue will be unloosed [Isaiah’s other tongue], and the timid will be made strong to bear courageous testimony to the truth. May the Lord help His people to cleanse the soul temple from every defilement [Malachi’s Levites], and to maintain such a close connection with Him that they may be partakers of the latter rain when it shall be poured out.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1886.
“Xudoga sidqidildan xizmat qilishni istagan har bir jonga [Odam va Hizqiyolning suyaklar vodiysi] Xudo yangi hayot nafasini ato eta oladi va qurbongohdan olingan tirik cho‘g‘ bilan [Ishayo] lablarga tegib, ularni Uning madhiga fasohatli qila oladi. Minglab ovozlar Xudoning Kalomidagi ajoyib haqiqatlarni bayon etish qudrati bilan to‘ldiriladi. Duduqlanuvchi til bo‘shatiladi [Ishayoning boshqa tili], va tortinchoqlar haqiqat to‘g‘risida jasorat bilan guvohlik berish uchun kuchli qilinadi. Rabbiy O‘z xalqiga jon ma’badini har bir nopoklikdan poklashda [Malakining levilari] va U bilan shunday yaqin aloqani saqlashda yordam bersinki, toki keyingi yomg‘ir yog‘dirilganda ular undan bahramand bo‘luvchilar qatorida bo‘lsinlar.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1886.
The vision we are considering includes the description of Christ’s voice. When John turns and hears Christ’s voice, it is as the sound of “many waters.” When Christ’s voice speaks of His covenant with men or with a chosen people it is associated with many waters. The message of Daniel seven through nine was unsealed in 1798, and then, in 1989 the message of Daniel ten through twelve was unsealed. 1798 is associated with the voice of the Ulai River and 1989 is the voice of the Hiddekel River.
Biz ko‘rib chiqayotgan vahiy Masihning ovozi tasvirini o‘z ichiga oladi. Yuhanno o‘girilib, Masihning ovozini eshitganida, u “ko‘p suvlar” shovqinidek yangraydi. Masihning ovozi Uning insonlar bilan yoki tanlangan xalq bilan bo‘lgan ahdi haqida so‘zlaganida, u ko‘p suvlar bilan bog‘lanadi. Doniyor yettidan to‘qqizgacha bo‘lgan xabarning muhri 1798-yilda ochildi, so‘ngra 1989-yilda Doniyor o‘ndan o‘n ikkigacha bo‘lgan xabarning muhri ochildi. 1798-yil Ulai daryosining ovozi bilan, 1989-yil esa Hiddekel daryosining ovozi bilan bog‘liqdir.
“The light that Daniel received from God was given especially for these last days. The visions he saw by the banks of the Ulai and the Hiddekel, the great rivers of Shinar, are now in process of fulfillment, and all the events foretold will soon come to pass.” Testimonies to Ministers, 112.
“Doniyor Xudodan olgan nur ayniqsa mana shu so‘nggi kunlar uchun berilgan edi. U Ulay va Xiddekel bo‘ylarida, Shinorning buyuk daryolari qirg‘oqlarida ko‘rgan vahiylar hozir bajarilish jarayonidadir va bashorat qilingan barcha voqealar tez orada yuz beradi.” Testimonies to Ministers, 112.
The River Jordan is the link between the alpha covenant history and the omega covenant history of ancient Israel. The word Jordan means ‘descender’ and represents Christ ‘the great descender.’
Iordaniya daryosi qadimgi Isroilning alfa ahd tarixi bilan omega ahd tarixi o‘rtasidagi bog‘lovchi bo‘g‘indir. “Iordaniya” so‘zi “pastga tushuvchi” degan ma’noni anglatadi va Masihni — “buyuk pastga tushuvchi”ni ifodalaydi.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:5–9.
Sizlarda Masih Isoda bo‘lgan shu fikr bo‘lsin: U, Xudoning suratida bo‘la turib, Xudoga teng bo‘lishni o‘ziniki qilib olish deb hisoblamadi; balki O‘zini hech narsaga sanamay, xizmatkor qiyofasini oldi va insonlarga o‘xshash qilib yaratildi; va qiyofada inson deb topilib, O‘zini past tutdi hamda o‘limigacha, hatto xochdagi o‘limigacha itoatkor bo‘ldi. Filippiliklarga 2:5–9.
The Jordan River represents Christ ‘the great descender’ and the Jordan is the connection between the alpha and omega history of the chosen people of God, who were given a vineyard to maintain. Moses’ waters of deliverance represent the voice of Christ, that can be heard if a soul would but turn around, to hear ‘the voice behind them,’ and the voice they would then hear is—the voice of many waters. From the flood of Noah to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, waters of deliverance are set forth as waymarks for God’s covenant people. Those waymarks represent the internal history of God’s final covenant people, the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The water that supplies the Jordan River originates in the dew and snow that accumulates in the Hermon mountains, which form the head waters of the Jordan River.
Iordan daryosi Masihni — “buyuk pastlovchi”ni — ifodalaydi, va Iordan Xudoning tanlangan xalqining, uzumzorni parvarishlash uchun berilgan xalqning, alfa va omega tarixlari o‘rtasidagi bog‘liqlikdir. Musoning najot suvlari Masihning ovozini ifodalaydi; agar bir jon faqat ortiga burilib, “orqalaridagi ovoz”ni eshitsa, bu ovoz eshitilishi mumkin, va ular shunda eshitadigan ovoz — ko‘p suvlar ovozidir. Nuh to‘fonidan milodiy 70-yilda Quddusning vayron qilinishigacha, najot suvlari Xudoning ahd xalqiga yo‘l belgilaridek taqdim etilgan. O‘sha yo‘l belgilari Xudoning so‘nggi ahd xalqining, bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning, ichki tarixini ifodalaydi. Iordan daryosini ta’minlaydigan suv Herman tog‘larida to‘planadigan shudring va qordan boshlanadi; o‘sha tog‘lar Iordan daryosining bosh suvlarini hosil qiladi.
A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Psalms 133:1–3.
Dovudning ziyorat qo‘shig‘i. Mana, birodarlarning ahillikda birga yashashi naqadar yaxshi, naqadar yoqimlidir! Bu boshga quyilgan qimmatbaho moyga o‘xshaydi; u soqolga, hatto Horunning soqoliga oqib tushadi; uning kiyimlarining etaklarigacha tushadi; Xermon shudringidek, Sion tog‘lari ustiga tushadigan shudringdekdir; chunki Egamiz o‘sha yerda barakani, abadiy hayotni amr etdi. Zabur 133:1–3.
Those waters also produce the grotto of Pan, a deep pool, set within a cave located in Panium of Daniel 11:13–15, and Caesarea Philippi in the days of Peter. The head waters of the Jordan River also produce the satanic pool of the grotto of Pan. The voice of many waters identifies that the great controversy between Christ and Satan originated in the high mountain peaks of the Hermon mountains.
O‘sha suvlar, shuningdek, Doniyor 11:13–15 dagi Paniyumda va Butrus kunlarida Kesariya Filippida joylashgan g‘or ichiga o‘rnatilgan chuqur hovuz — Pan g‘orini ham hosil qiladi. Iordaniya daryosining bosh suvlari, shuningdek, Pan g‘orining shaytoniy hovuzini ham hosil qiladi. Ko‘p suvlar ovozi Masih bilan Shayton o‘rtasidagi buyuk mojaro Hermon tog‘larining baland cho‘qqilarida boshlanganini ko‘rsatadi.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18.
Men senga ham shuni aytaman: sen Butrussan, va Men O‘z jamoatimni mana shu qoya ustiga quraman; do‘zax darvozalari esa unga qarshi g‘olib kelolmaydi. Matto 16:18.
The name “Hermon” means “sacred, consecrated, devoted, or set apart,” and is a symbol of Heaven, the source of all water and the beginning of the great controversy as represented by “the gates of hell,” which was the label Jesus attached to the grotto of Pan, when at Caesarea Philippi. In that setting Simon Barjona's name was changed to Peter. Simon means ‘one who hears,’ and Barjona means ‘son of the dove.’ Simon was a symbol of the soul who heard the message of Jesus baptism that was represented by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. As one who heard the message of Christ’s baptism, Peter is changed, representing the 144,000. Peter was sealed while at Panium, which is verses thirteen through fifteen of Daniel eleven.
“Xermon” nomi “muqaddas, bag‘ishlangan, atab qo‘yilgan yoki ajratib qo‘yilgan” degan ma’noni anglatadi hamda Osmonning, barcha suvlarning manbai va “do‘zax darvozalari” orqali ifodalangan buyuk kurashning boshlanishining ramzidir; “do‘zax darvozalari” Iso Kesariya Filippiyada bo‘lganida Pan g‘origa bergan nom edi. O‘sha vaziyatda Simon Barjonaning ismi Butrusga o‘zgartirildi. Simon “eshituvchi”, Barjona esa “kabutarning o‘g‘li” degan ma’noni anglatadi. Simon Muqaddas Ruh tomonidan kabutar timsolida ifodalangan Isoning suvga cho‘mishi haqidagi xabarni eshitgan jonning ramzi edi. Masihning suvga cho‘mishi haqidagi xabarni eshitgan kishi sifatida Butrus o‘zgartirildi va bu 144 000 ni ifodalaydi. Butrus Paniumda bo‘lganida muhrlandi; bu Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobning o‘n uchinchi–o‘n beshinchi oyatlaridir.
From Hermon’s waters, the Jordan river, a symbol of Christ—the great descender concludes His journey at the Dead Sea. From Heaven, where the dew of life originates, Christ descended to the death of the cross, represented by the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea shoreline is the deepest exposed surface land on earth. The Jordon river that descends, descends to the lowest water level on earth, as Christ descended to His death on the cross. From the water of life to the water of death, the River Jordan represents the descent of Christ from heaven to the cross.
Hermonning suvlari orasidan oqib chiquvchi Iordan daryosi, Masihning timsoli — buyuk pastga tushuvchi — o‘z safarini O‘lik dengizda yakunlaydi. Hayot shabnami manba oladigan Osmondan Masih O‘lik dengiz bilan ifodalangan xoch o‘limigacha tushib keldi. O‘lik dengiz sohil chizig‘i yer yuzidagi ochiq quruqlik sathlarining eng chuquridir. Pastga oqib tushuvchi Iordan daryosi yer yuzidagi eng quyi suv sathigacha tushadi, xuddi Masih xochdagi O‘z o‘limigacha tushganidek. Hayot suvidan o‘lim suviga qadar Iordan daryosi Masihning osmondan xochgacha bo‘lgan tushishini ifodalaydi.
Important themes of Bible prophecy are associated with water, and Bible prophecy is the voice of Christ, which is a voice of many waters. The whore of Babylon is seated upon many waters, and the waters of the Euphrates are dried up to prepare the way of the kings of the east, and the merchants and kings stand a far off and lament for the ships of Tarshish are destroyed in the midst of the seas, and the covenant of death that the drunkards of Ephraim accepted when they hid themselves under lies, is disannulled by the overwhelming flood of the papal Sunday law.
Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining muhim mavzulari suv bilan bog‘liqdir, va Muqaddas Kitob bashorati — ko‘p suvlar ovozi bo‘lgan Masihning ovozidir. Bobil fohishasi ko‘p suvlar ustida o‘tiradi, Furotning suvlari esa sharq podshohlariga yo‘l tayyorlash uchun quritib yuboriladi; savdogarlar va podshohlar uzoqda turib nola qiladilar, chunki Tarshish kemalari dengizlar o‘rtasida halok qilingan; va Efrayimning mastlari yolg‘onlar ostiga yashiringanlarida qabul qilgan o‘lim ahdi papalikning yakshanba qonunining toshqinli seli tomonidan bekor qilinadi.
When Sister White references the “great rivers of Shinar,” she is addressing the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Those waters can be traced back to the Garden of Eden where they are the third and fourth river to come out of Eden.
Opa Uayt “Shinarning buyuk daryolari”ga ishora qilganida, u Dajla va Furot daryolarini nazarda tutadi. Bu suvlarning manbai Adan bog‘igacha borib taqaladi; u yerda ular Adandan chiqadigan uchinchi va to‘rtinchi daryo hisoblanadi.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. Genesis 2:14.
Uchinchi daryoning nomi esa Hiddekel; u Ossuriyaning sharq tomoniga oqib boruvchidir. To‘rtinchi daryo esa Furotdir. Ibtido 2:14.
The Hiddekel is the Tigris, and of course, the Euphrates was the Euphrates, though modern historians and theologians disagree. They insist that the Ulai was not a great river, but simply a man-made aqueduct in Persia, not Shinar. Those same human authorities identify that the only two rivers of any note that are associated with Shinar, were the Tigris and Euphrates, and the prophetess states that the Ulai and the Hiddekel were “the great rivers of Shinar.”
Hiddekel — bu Dajla, albatta, Furot esa Furot edi, garchi zamonaviy tarixchilar va ilohiyotshunoslar bunga qoʻshilmasalar ham. Ular Ulay buyuk daryo boʻlmaganini, balki Shinarda emas, Forsda inson qoʻli bilan qurilgan oddiy suv oʻtkazgich boʻlganini taʼkidlaydilar. Oʻsha insoniy hokimiyatlarning oʻzi Shinarga aloqador eʼtiborga molik yagona ikki daryo Dajla va Furot boʻlganini aytadi, holbuki paygʻambar ayol Ulay va Hiddekelni “Shinarning buyuk daryolari” deb bayon qiladi.
The prophetess words on the message of water opposes the modern experts, as did the ancient experts—who opposed Noah’s message of water. We are informed that the two visions represented by the two rivers are in the process of fulfillment, and therefore, everything represented within those two visions that were given by “the two great rivers of Shinar,” will soon come to pass. The message associated with those rivers is the voice of Christ, for His voice is as many waters. The Tigris and Euphrates represent a major prophetic theme, and their testimony is related to the covenant that the alpha Moses set forth, which is the same covenant that the omega Christ confirmed.
Suv haqidagi xabarga doir payg‘ambar ayolning so‘zlari, Nuhning suv haqidagi xabariga qarshi chiqqan qadimgi mutaxassislar kabi, zamonaviy mutaxassislarga ham zid turadi. Bizga ma’lum qilinishicha, ikki daryo orqali ifodalangan ikki vahiy bajo bo‘lish jarayonidadir; shu bois, “Shinarning ikki buyuk daryosi” orqali berilgan o‘sha ikki vahiyning ichida ifodalangan barcha narsa tez orada yuz beradi. O‘sha daryolar bilan bog‘liq xabar Masihning ovozidir, chunki Uning ovozi ko‘p suvlar shovqinidekdir. Dajla va Furot muhim bir bashoratli mavzuni ifodalaydi, va ularning guvohligi alfa Muso bayon etgan ahd bilan bog‘liqdir; o‘sha ahdni omega Masih tasdiqlagan.
In prophecy the Tigris represents Assyria and the Euphrates is Babylon. In this relation they are the two powers, represented as lions by Jeremiah who would carry first the northern kingdom and thereafter the southern kingdom into captivity.
Payg‘ambarlikda Dajla Ossuriyani, Furot esa Bobilni ifodalaydi. Bu munosabatda ular ikki qudrat bo‘lib, Yeremiyo tomonidan sherlar sifatida tasvirlangan; ular avval shimoliy shohlikni, undan keyin esa janubiy shohlikni asirlikka olib ketadi.
Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. Jeremiah 50:17.
Isroil tarqalib ketgan qoʻydir; uni sherlar haydab yuborgan: avval Ossuriya shohi uni yeb qoʻydi; oxirida esa Bobil shohi Navuxadretsar uning suyaklarini sindirdi. Yeremiyo 50:17.
Both Assyria and Babylon were northern enemies in relation to either kingdom of Israel, and are therefore types of the counterfeit king of the north—the papal power. Essentially the same political and religious traditions were carried out by the two powers that arose from the same cultural setting, but Assyria’s political structure emphasized statecraft, whereas; Babylon emphasized churchcraft, though very similar. Pagan Rome and papal Rome at some levels are identical, but still, pagan Rome represents statecraft and papal Rome churchcraft. Assyria, in prophetic relation to Babylon was a kingdom of statecraft, followed by Babylon a similar power that emphasized churchcraft. Assyria represented pagan Rome and Babylon represents papal Rome. All four of these powers trampled down God’s sanctuary and host. Assyria is associated with the Tigris and Babylon the Euphrates. This is in agreement with the drying up of the Euphrates in the book of Revelation, to prepare the way for the kings of the east as typified by the work of Cyrus in diverting the Euphrates to bring down Babylon. Babylon is the Euphrates; Assyria is the Tigris.
Ossuriya ham, Bobil ham Isroilning har ikkala shohligiga nisbatan shimoliy dushmanlar bo‘lgan va shu bois ular shimolning soxta shohining — papalik hokimiyatining timsollaridir. Asosan bir xil siyosiy va diniy an’analar bir xil madaniy muhitdan kelib chiqqan bu ikki qudrat tomonidan amalga oshirilgan, biroq Ossuriyaning siyosiy tuzilmasi davlat boshqaruvini ta’kidlagan bo‘lsa, Bobil cherkov boshqaruvini ta’kidlagan, garchi ular juda o‘xshash bo‘lsa-da. Butparast Rim va papalik Rimi ayrim darajalarda aynandir, ammo shunga qaramay, butparast Rim davlat boshqaruvini, papalik Rimi esa cherkov boshqaruvini ifodalaydi. Bobilga nisbatan payg‘ambarlik aloqasida Ossuriya davlat boshqaruvi shohligi bo‘lib, undan keyin cherkov boshqaruvini ta’kidlagan o‘xshash qudrat sifatida Bobil kelgan. Ossuriya butparast Rimni, Bobil esa papalik Rimini ifodalaydi. Bu to‘rtala qudrat ham Xudoning muqaddas maskani va lashkarini oyoq osti qilgan. Ossuriya Dajla bilan, Bobil esa Furot bilan bog‘langan. Bu Vahiy kitobidagi Furotning quritilishi bilan hamohangdir, ya’ni sharq shohlari uchun yo‘l hozirlash ma’nosida, xuddi Kirning Bobilni qulatish uchun Furot oqimini boshqa tomonga burishdagi ishi timsol qilganidek. Bobil — Furot; Ossuriya — Dajladir.
The king of the north in prophecy conquers the world during the Sunday law crisis and thereafter falls, but the conquering is often represented as an overwhelming flood. The story of the king of the north, as represented by Assyria and Babylon, is symbolized by rivers for the story is told by the voice of many waters.
Bashoratdagi shimol podshohi Yakshanba qonuni inqirozi davrida dunyoni zabt etadi va shundan keyin quladi, biroq bu zabt etish ko‘pincha dahshatli toshqin sifatida tasvirlanadi. Ossuriya va Bobil orqali ifodalangan shimol podshohining hikoyasi daryolar bilan ramziy ifoda topadi, chunki bu hikoya ko‘p suvlarning ovozi orqali bayon qilinadi.
The land between the two rivers is called Mesopotamia, which means ‘the land between two rivers.’ The two rivers represent the northern power which God employs to chastise His apostate people by scattering them into captivity. One of the tributary streams of the voice of many waters is found in the name “Padanaram,” which is referenced only ten times in the Scriptures. The first mention is in association with the covenant, for it identifies the blood roots of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac. The verse says:
Ikki daryo orasidagi yurt Mesopotamiya deb ataladi; bu “ikki daryo orasidagi yurt” degan ma’noni anglatadi. Ikki daryo Xudo O‘zidan yuz o‘girgan xalqini asirlikka tarqatib, jazolash uchun qo‘llaydigan shimoliy qudratni ifodalaydi. Ko‘p suvlar ovozining irmoq oqimlaridan biri Muqaddas Yozuvlarda atigi o‘n marta tilga olingan “Padanaram” nomida uchraydi. Uning ilk eslatilishi ahd bilan bog‘liqdir, chunki u Ishoqning xotini Rivqoning qon-ildizlarini ko‘rsatib beradi. Oyatda shunday deyiladi:
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
Ishoq Paddan-Oramlik suriyalik Betuilning qizi, suriyalik Lobonning singlisi Rivqoni xotinlikka olganida qirq yoshda edi.
The end of forty years has been shown upon the three witnesses of Moses to lead to Kadesh, 1863 and the Sunday law. The marriage of Isaac is a covenant marriage typifying the marriage of Christ to the one hundred and forty-four thousand at the Sunday law, which is 1863, which is Kadesh, which is the end of a forty-year covenant history. Rebekah was a daughter of a Syrian and the sister of Laban a Syrian, (who in the next generation of covenant history, broke a covenant with Isaac’s son Jacob.)
Qirq yilning oxiri Musoning uch guvohligi asosida Qadeshga, 1863-yilga va Yakshanba qonuniga olib borishi ko‘rsatilgan. Ishoqning nikohi ahd nikohi bo‘lib, u Yakshanba qonunida Masihning yuz qirq to‘rt ming bilan bo‘ladigan nikohini timsollaydi; bu esa 1863-yildir, ya’ni Qadeshdir, ya’ni qirq yillik ahd tarixining oxiridir. Rivqo suriyalikning qizi va suriyalik Lobonning singlisi edi (u esa ahd tarixining keyingi avlodida Ishoqning o‘g‘li Yoqub bilan tuzilgan ahdni buzgan).
Bethuel means ‘house of desolation or desolator,’ so Rebekah was the daughter of “the house of the desolator.’ Syria means highland and plateau, and Padanaram means Mesopotamia, or the land between. Rebekah was from the bloodline of Syrians who came from Mesopotamia the highland between ‘the Tigris of Assyria’ and ‘the Euphrates of Babylon,’ who represent the lions which the Lord used to scatter his apostate sheep. The house of the desolators was joined with the house of God in the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. It is not an accident that in the first mention of Padanaram, these two rivers representing the prophetic king of the north who is represented as an overflowing flood is first mentioned in Genesis 25:20.
Bethuel “vayronalik uyi” yoki “vayron qiluvchining uyi” degan ma’noni anglatadi; demak, Rivqo “vayron qiluvchining uyi”ning qizi edi. Suriya yuksaklik va plato degan ma’noni anglatadi, Paddan-Aram esa Mesopotamiya, ya’ni o‘rtadagi yurt deganidir. Rivqo Ossuriyaning “Dajlasi” bilan Bobilning “Furoti” o‘rtasidagi yuksak Mesopotamiyadan kelgan suriyaliklar naslidan edi; ular Rabbiy O‘zining murtad qo‘ylarini tarqatib yuborish uchun foydalangan sherlarni ifodalaydi. Vayron qiluvchilarning uyi Ishoq va Rivqoning nikohida Xudoning uyi bilan qo‘shildi. Paddan-Aramning ilk bor tilga olinishi bejiz emaski, toshib ketuvchi suv toshqini sifatida tasvirlangan va shimoldagi bashoratli podshohni ifodalovchi shu ikki daryo dastlab Ibtido 25:20 da tilga olinadi.
The connection of the house of desolation with God’s covenant people continues when Jacob flees from Esau, and ends up at his uncle Laban’s and there serves two periods’ of 2520 days in order to secure the next covenant marriage. One marriage ends with the scattering of the northern kingdom of Israel and the other marriage ends with the scattering of the southern kingdom. When those two kingdoms respective period of scattering ended in 1798 and 1844, the marriage that Jacob labored to accomplish over two periods of 2520 was fulfilled, as the bridegroom came to the marriage on October 22, 1844.
Vayronalik uyining Xudoning ahd xalqiga bogʻliqligi Yoqub Esovdan qochib, togʻasi Lobonning huzuriga borib qolganida davom etadi; u yerda esa keyingi ahd nikohini qoʻlga kiritish uchun 2520 kunlik ikki davr xizmat qiladi. Bir nikoh Isroilning shimoliy shohligi sochib yuborilishi bilan yakunlanadi, boshqa nikoh esa janubiy shohlikning sochib yuborilishi bilan yakunlanadi. Bu ikki shohlikning tegishli sochilib ketish davri 1798 va 1844 yillarda tugaganida, Yoqub 2520 ning ikki davri davomida amalga oshirish uchun mehnat qilgan nikoh bajo bo‘ldi, chunki kuyov 1844 yil 22 oktyabrda nikohga keldi.
Did Christ then marry Leah, which means ‘weary and tired,’ or did He marry Rachel, which means ‘a good traveler?’ Leah and Rachel represent two classes of travelling virgins, one virgin who ‘grows weary’ and one virgin who ‘travels well’ on the path to marry Jacob on October 22, 1844.
Demak, Masih ma’nosi “holdan toygan va charchagan” bo‘lgan Layyoga uylandimi, yoki ma’nosi “yaxshi sayohatchi” bo‘lgan Rohilaga uylandimi? Layyo va Rohila sayohat qiluvchi bokiralarning ikki toifasini ifodalaydi: biri 1844-yil 22-oktabr kuni Yoqubga turmushga chiqish yo‘lida “holdan toyadigan” bokira, ikkinchisi esa shu yo‘lda “yaxshi sayohat qiladigan” bokiradir.
“They had a bright light set up behind them at the beginning of the path, which an angel told me was the ‘midnight cry.’ This light shone all along the path, and gave light for their feet, so that they might not stumble.
“Yo‘lning boshida ularning ortida yorqin bir nur o‘rnatilgan edi; farishta menga bu nurni ‘yarim tun faryodi’ deb aytdi.” Bu nur butun yo‘l bo‘ylab porlab turar va ular qoqilmasliklari uchun oyoqlariga yorug‘lik berar edi.
“If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them to the city, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the advent band, and they shouted ‘Alleluia!’ Others rashly denied the light behind them, and said that it was not God that had led them out so far. The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below.” Early Writings, 15.
“Agar ular nigohlarini o‘zlarining oldida bo‘lib, ularni shaharga boshlab borayotgan Isoga qaratib turganlarida, ular xavfsiz edilar. Ammo ko‘p o‘tmay ba’zilari holdan toyib, shahar juda uzoqda, deb aytdilar va ular unga bundan oldinroq kirib bo‘lgan bo‘lishlarini kutgan edilar. Shunda Iso O‘zining ulug‘vor o‘ng qo‘lini ko‘tarib, ularga dalda berar edi, va Uning qo‘lidan advent jamoasi uzra hilpirab turuvchi bir nur chiqardi, va ular: “Alleluia!” deb hayqirdilar. Boshqalar esa ortlaridagi nurni shoshqaloqlik bilan inkor etib, ularni bunchalik uzoqqa boshlab chiqqan Zot Xudo emas edi, dedilar. Shunda ularning ortidagi nur o‘chib qoldi, oyoqlarini mutlaq zulmatda qoldirdi, va ular qoqilib, belgini ham, Isoni ham ko‘rmay qo‘ydilar hamda yo‘ldan chiqib, pastdagi qorong‘i va yovuz dunyoga qulab tushdilar.” Ilk Yozuvlar, 15.
In 1844, the Philadelphian Millerite movement went into the marriage. The marriage of October 22, 1844 separated two classes of worshippers represented by Rachel and Leah. Rachel, represents a class who had successfully travelled on the path to the marriage of October 22, 1844, but Leah’s class grew weary. They were then separated and the testing process of the third angel began, right where the testing-process of the Midnight Cry concluded.
1844-yilda Filadelfiya Millerit harakati nikohga kirdi. 1844-yil 22-oktyabrdagi nikoh Rachel va Leah tomonidan ifodalangan ikki toifa sajda qiluvchilarni ajratdi. Rachel 1844-yil 22-oktyabrdagi nikoh sari bo‘lgan yo‘lda muvaffaqiyat bilan yurgan bir toifani ifodalaydi, ammo Leahning toifasi holdan toygan edi. Shundan so‘ng ular ajratildi va uchinchi farishtaning sinov jarayoni Xitob-i Nisf ul-Laylning sinov jarayoni yakunlangan ayni o‘sha nuqtada boshlandi.
The marriage had commenced and it was to thereafter to be consummated and tested. The marriage was consummated in 1846, and the testing process of the third angel began. In 1849 and 1850 the Lord was stretching out His hand a second time to gather His remnant. The second table of Habakkuk was then placed into history, as typified by the second set of Commandments. After Moses broke the first set, the second set of tables were set forth. The 1850 chart replaced the 1843, and in 1850, the testing of ancient Israel as God’s new covenant bride continued towards Kadesh and 1863.
Nikoh boshlangan edi va shundan keyin u nihoyasiga yetkazilib, sinovdan o‘tkazilishi lozim edi. Nikoh 1846 yilda nihoyasiga yetkazildi va uchinchi farishtaning sinov jarayoni boshlandi. 1849 va 1850 yillarda Rabbiy O‘zining qolgan xalqini yig‘ish uchun qo‘lini ikkinchi bor uzatayotgan edi. O‘shanda Habaqquqning ikkinchi lavhi, Amrlarning ikkinchi to‘plami bilan timsollangandek, tarixga joylashtirildi. Muso birinchi to‘plamni sindirganidan keyin, ikkinchi lavhalar taqdim etildi. 1850 yilgi jadval 1843 yilgisining o‘rnini egalladi va 1850 yilda Xudoning yangi ahd kelini bo‘lgan qadimgi Isroilning sinovdan o‘tishi Qadesh hamda 1863 yil sari davom etdi.
In 1856, more water from the two rivers came through the pen of Hiram Edson. The light upon the “seven times” which came through Edson’s pen, was the light represented by the two rivers that began their prophetic testimony at the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden is a symbol of mankind’s rebellion against God’s law, and is where the waters of the Ulai and Hiddekel rivers begin their journey. They travel through covenant history, for that Garden, the symbol of rebellion, is also where a lamb was slain to provide clothes to replace the fig leaves upon Adam and Eve. Covenant history begins with the covenant of life between Adam and God. That covenant symbolized by the tree of life, led to the broken covenant by Adam and Eve, that initiated a new covenant of life, when the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world provided clothing for the naked and lost pair. The two rivers which flow from that Garden ultimately become the symbols of the powers God employs as His rod of chastisement.
1856-yilda ikki daryodan yanada ko‘proq suv Hiram Edsonning qalamidan oqib keldi. Edsonning qalami orqali kelgan “yetti vaqt” haqidagi nur, O‘zining bashoratli guvohligini Adan bog‘ida boshlagan ikki daryo bilan ifodalangan nur edi. Adan bog‘i insoniyatning Xudoning qonuniga qarshi isyonining ramzidir va Ulai hamda Xiddekel daryolarining suvlari o‘z safarini aynan o‘sha yerdan boshlaydi. Ular ahd tarixidan o‘tib boradilar, chunki isyonning ramzi bo‘lgan o‘sha Bog‘, ayni paytda, Odam Ato va Momo Havodagi anjir barglari o‘rnini bosadigan kiyimlarni ta’minlash uchun bir qo‘zi so‘yilgan joy hamdir. Ahd tarixi Odam Ato bilan Xudo o‘rtasidagi hayot ahdi bilan boshlanadi. Hayot daraxti bilan ifodalangan o‘sha ahd Odam Ato va Momo Havo tomonidan buzilgan ahdga olib bordi; bu esa dunyo asos solinishidan avval so‘yilgan Qo‘zi yalang‘och va yo‘qolgan juftlikka kiyim bergan paytda yangi hayot ahdini boshlab berdi. O‘sha Bog‘dan oqib chiqadigan ikki daryo oxir-oqibat Xudo O‘zining jazolovchi tayog‘i sifatida qo‘llaydigan kuchlarning ramziga aylanadi.
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. Isaiah 10:5, 6.
Ey Ossur, g‘azabimning tayog‘i, ularning qo‘lidagi aso esa — mening qahrimdir. Men uni ikkiyuzlamachi bir xalqqa qarshi yuboraman, g‘azabimning xalqiga qarshi esa unga buyruq beraman: o‘ljani tortib olishga, talonni qo‘lga kiritishga va ularni ko‘chalar loyidek oyoq osti qilishga. Ishayo 10:5, 6.
Those two rivers flowed out of Eden into the lineage of Rebekah and her covenant marriage to Isaac, and onward to Jacob, where the water of the two rivers is represented as two distinct periods of seven times. Then, the same two rivers flow through the last six chapters of Daniel, where three chapters are represented by each river. One river represents the increase of knowledge which was unsealed in chapters seven, eight and nine and the other river represents the increase of knowledge which was unsealed in chapters ten, eleven and twelve.
O‘sha ikki daryo Edendan chiqib, Rivqoning nasl-nasabiga va uning Ishoq bilan ahd nikohiga kirib bordi, so‘ngra Yoqubgacha davom etdi; u yerda bu ikki daryoning suvi yetti martadan iborat bo‘lgan ikki alohida davr sifatida ifodalanadi. So‘ng, xuddi o‘sha ikki daryo Doniyol kitobining oxirgi olti bobidan oqib o‘tadi; bunda har bir daryo uch bob bilan ifodalanadi. Bir daryo yettinchi, sakkizinchi va to‘qqizinchi boblarda muhrdan ochilgan bilimning ko‘payishini, boshqa daryo esa o‘ninchi, o‘n birinchi va o‘n ikkinchi boblarda muhrdan ochilgan bilimning ko‘payishini ifodalaydi.
Chapters seven, eight and nine are represented as the vision of the Ulai and Christ is portrayed in a similar way in chapters ten, eleven and twelve. In both river visions, represented by three chapters—Christ is represented as standing upon the water.
Yettinchi, sakkizinchi va to‘qqizinchi boblar Ulai vahyi sifatida tasvirlangan, o‘ninchi, o‘n birinchi va o‘n ikkinchi boblarda esa Masih xuddi shunga o‘xshash tarzda namoyon etilgan. Har ikkisi ham uch bobda ifodalangan daryo vahylarida Masih suv ustida turgan holda tasvirlanadi.
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. Daniel 8:15, 16.
Shunday bo‘ldiki, men, ya’ni men Doniyor, vahiyu ro‘yolarni ko‘rib, uning ma’nosini izlaganimda, mana, oldimda odamga o‘xshash bir zot turardi. Va men Ulai daryosining ikki qirg‘og‘i orasidan bir inson ovozini eshitdim; u chaqirib shunday dedi: “Jabroil, bu odamga vahiyu ro‘yolarni tushuntirgin.” Doniyor 8:15, 16.
The vision of Christ in chapter ten is similar to the vision John witnessed in Revelation chapter one, and in Daniel’s vision of chapter eight Palmoni is upon the waters, as He was in chapter twelve, where He was clothed in linen.
O‘ninchi bobdagi Masih haqidagi vahiy Yuhanno Vahiy kitobining birinchi bobida ko‘rgan vahiyga o‘xshaydi, va Doniyorning sakkizinchi bobdagi vahiysida Palmoni suvlar uzra turadi; xuddi o‘n ikkinchi bobda bo‘lgani kabi, u yerda U zig‘ir kiyimga burkangan edi.
“At the time of Gabriel’s visit, the prophet Daniel was unable to receive further instruction; but a few years afterward, desiring to know more of subjects not yet fully explained, he again set himself to seek light and wisdom from God. ‘In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all…. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.’
“Jabroilning tashrifi paytida payg‘ambar Doniyor bundan keyingi ko‘rsatmalarni qabul qila olmadi; ammo bir necha yildan so‘ng, hali to‘la tushuntirib berilmagan mavzular haqida ko‘proq bilishni istab, u yana Xudodan nur va hikmat izlashga kirishdi. ‘O‘sha kunlarda men, Doniyor, uch to‘la hafta aza tutdim. Men lazzatli non yemadim, og‘zimga na go‘sht, na sharob kirdi, o‘zimga umuman moy surmadim…. So‘ng ko‘zlarimni ko‘tardim va qaradim, va mana, zig‘ir kiyim kiygan bir odam, beliga Ufazning sof oltinidan kamar bog‘langan edi. Uning tanasi zabarjaddek, yuzi chaqmoq ko‘rinishiday, ko‘zlari olov mash’alalariday, qo‘llari va oyoqlari sayqallangan jez rangiday, so‘zlarining ovozi esa olomon ovoziday edi.’
“No less a personage than the Son of God appeared to Daniel. This description is similar to that given by John when Christ was revealed to him upon the Isle of Patmos. Our Lord now comes with another heavenly messenger to teach Daniel what would take place in the latter days. This knowledge was given to Daniel and recorded by inspiration for us upon whom the ends of the world are come.” Review and Herald, February 8, 1881.
Xudoning O‘g‘lining O‘zidan kam bo‘lmagan Zot Doniyorga zohir bo‘ldi. Bu ta’rif Masih Patmos orolida Yuhannoga zohir qilinganida berilgan ta’rifga o‘xshaydi. Endi Rabbimiz oxirgi kunlarda nima sodir bo‘lishini Doniyorga o‘rgatish uchun boshqa bir samoviy xabarchi bilan keladi. Bu bilim Doniyorga berildi va ilhom orqali, zamonlarning oxiri yetib kelgan bizlar uchun yozib qoldirildi.” Review and Herald, 1881-yil 8-fevral.
In the Hiddekel vision of Christ in chapter ten, Christ is upon the water and clothed in linen and in the Ulai vision He is upon the water. The vision of Revelation one aligns with the vision presented in the Ulai and Hiddekel visions, where Sister White identifies that it is “no less a personage than the Son of God.” When she identifies the angel of Revelation ten she states the angel was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” The angel in Revelation ten lifts up His hand to heaven and swears by Him that liveth forever and ever, connected with the vision of Christ in chapter twelve who lifts up both His hands to heaven and swears by Him that liveth forever and ever. In Revelation ten He is upon both the water and land.
O‘ninchi bobdagi Xiddekel vahiyida Masih suv ustidadir, zig‘ir libosga kiyingandir; Ulay vahiyida ham U suv ustidadir. Vahiy kitobining birinchi bobidagi vahiy Ulay va Xiddekel vahiylarida taqdim etilgan vahiy bilan uyg‘unlashadi; u yerda Sister White buni “Xudoning O‘g‘lidan kam bo‘lmagan Zot” ekanini ta’kidlaydi. U Vahiy kitobining o‘ninchi bobidagi farishtani aniqlaganida, bu farishta “Iso Masihdan kam bo‘lmagan Zot” ekanini aytadi. Vahiy kitobining o‘ninchi bobida bu farishta qo‘lini osmonga ko‘tarib, abadulabad tirik bo‘lgan Zot nomi bilan qasam ichadi; bu esa o‘n ikkinchi bobdagi Masih haqidagi vahiy bilan bog‘liqdir, u yerda U ikkala qo‘lini ham osmonga ko‘tarib, abadulabad tirik bo‘lgan Zot nomi bilan qasam ichadi. Vahiy kitobining o‘ninchi bobida U ham suv, ham quruqlik ustidadir.
What exists “between the banks” of a river is water, and Daniel heard “a man’s voice between the banks,” so the voice came from the man upon the water, and the voice was the sound of the waters of the Ulai river.
Daryoning “ikki qirg‘og‘i orasida” mavjud bo‘ladigani suvdir, va Doniyor “qirg‘oqlar orasidan bir odamning ovozini” eshitdi; demak, bu ovoz suv ustidagi Odamdan keldi, va bu ovoz Ulay daryosi suvlari shovqini edi.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel; Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. …
Birinci oyning yigirma to‘rtinchi kunida men ulug‘ daryo bo‘yida, ya’ni Hiddekel bo‘yida edim. Shunda men ko‘zlarimni ko‘tarib qaradim, va mana, zig‘ir libos kiygan bir zot turar edi; uning bellari Ufazning nafis oltini bilan bog‘langan edi. Uning tanasi zumraddek, yuzi chaqmoqning ko‘rinishidek, ko‘zlari olov mash’allaridek, qo‘llari va oyoqlari sayqallangan jezning rangidek edi; so‘zlarining ovozi esa olomonning ovozidek edi. …
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Ammo sen, ey Doniyor, bu so‘zlarni yashir va kitobni oxirzamon vaqtigacha muhrlab qo‘y: ko‘plar u yoqdan bu yoqqa yugurib yururlar, va bilim orttirilur. So‘ng men, Doniyor, qaradim, va mana, boshqa ikki zot turar edi: biri daryo qirg‘og‘ining bu tomonida, boshqasi esa daryo qirg‘og‘ining u tomonida. Va ulardan biri daryo suvlari uzra turgan, zig‘ir kiyimga burkangan kishiga dedi: “Bu ajoyibotlarning oxirigacha qancha vaqt bor?” Va men daryo suvlari uzra turgan, zig‘ir kiyimga burkangan kishini eshitdim; u o‘zining o‘ng qo‘lini ham, chap qo‘lini ham osmonga ko‘tardi va abadulabad tirik Zot nomi bilan qasam ichib dedi: “Bu bir vaqt, ikki vaqt va yarim vaqt uchun bo‘lur; muqaddas xalqning qudratini parokanda qilish nihoyasiga yetgach, bularning hammasi tamom bo‘lur.”
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 10:4–6; 12:4–10.
Men eshitdim, ammo anglamadim; shunda dedim: Ey Rabbim, bu narsalarning oqibati nima bo‘ladi? U dedi: O‘z yo‘lingdan bor, Doniyor; chunki bu so‘zlar oxirzamon vaqtigacha yopiq va muhrlangan turadi. Ko‘plar poklanadi, oqaradi va sinaladi; ammo fosiqlar fosiqlik qilishda davom etadilar; fosiqlarning hech biri anglamaydi, lekin donolar anglaydilar. Doniyor 10:4–6; 12:4–10.
The great rivers of Shinar as Sister White identifies them, are both attached to a vision where Christ is upon the water speaking, for His voice is as the sound of many waters. In both visions the question of “how long” is asked. Both rivers are also represented in Daniel’s ‘question and answer’ of chapter eight, which is the central pillar and foundation of Adventism. There, the two rivers are symbols of the “seven times” of scattering and trampling down of both the sanctuary and the host. The two rivers fulfill their role as God’s rod of chastisement, only to thereafter flow into the Millerite history of the first angel, where William Miller discovered his first prophetic jewel, which was the line of the “seven times” in Leviticus twenty-six. The two rivers represent the two scatterings of 2520 years, which were accomplished by the two lions of Assyria and Babylon, who are represented by the Tigris and Euphrates, and of course by Leah and Rachel, nieces of Rebekah, whose covenant marriage occurred when Isaac was forty years old, as recorded in Genesis 2520.
Opa Uayt opaning ta’kidlashicha, Shinarning ulkan daryolari ikkovi ham Masih suv ustida turib so‘zlayotgan vahiy bilan bog‘langan, chunki Uning ovozi ko‘p suvlar shovqinidekdir. Har ikkala vahiyda ham: “Qachongacha?” degan savol beriladi. Har ikkala daryo, shuningdek, Doniyorning sakkizinchi bobidagi “savol va javob”da ham ifodalangan bo‘lib, u Adventizmning markaziy ustuni va asosidir. U yerda bu ikki daryo ham ma’badning, ham lashkarning sochib yuborilishi va oyoq osti qilinishiga oid “yetti vaqt”ning timsollaridir. Bu ikki daryo Xudoning jazolovchi tayog‘i sifatidagi vazifasini ado etadi, so‘ngra esa birinchi farishtaning Milleriylar tarixiga oqib kiradi; o‘sha yerda Uilyam Miller o‘zining ilk bashoratli javohirini — Levilar kitobining yigirma oltinchi bobidagi “yetti vaqt” chizig‘ini kashf etdi. Bu ikki daryo 2520 yillik ikki sochib yuborilishni anglatadi; ular Ossuriya va Bobilning ikki sheri tomonidan amalga oshirilgan bo‘lib, ular Dajla va Furot orqali, albatta, Ibtido 2520 da qayd etilganidek, Ishoq qirq yoshga kirganida ahd nikohi yuz bergan Rivqoning jiyanlari bo‘lmish Layo va Rohila orqali ham ifodalangan.
Miller only presented the scattering of “seven times” against the southern kingdom of Judah, which was fulfilled with the 2300-year prophecy in 1844. In 1856, the “new wine” of the “seven times” identified the same scattering upon the northern kingdom ending in 1798. As the first prophetic discovery of William Miller, the water of the river Euphrates arrived as the alpha doctrine in the history of the first angel. The water of the Ulai river arrived with the third angel. The alpha discovery of Miller was the seven times represented by the river Ulai and the omega discovery of Hiram Edson was the seven times represented by the Hiddekel river.
Miller faqat Yahudoning janubiy shohligiga qarshi bo‘lgan “yetti vaqt” tarqalishini taqdim etdi; bu 1844-yilda 2300 yillik bashorat bilan amalga oshdi. 1856-yilda “yetti vaqt”ning “yangi sharobi” shimoliy shohlik ustida ham xuddi shu tarqalishni aniqladi, uning yakuni esa 1798-yilda bo‘ldi. William Millerning birinchi bashoratli kashfiyoti sifatida Furot daryosining suvi birinchi farishta tarixida alfa ta’limoti sifatida paydo bo‘ldi. Ulay daryosining suvi uchinchi farishta bilan keldi. Millerning alfa kashfiyoti Ulay daryosi bilan ifodalangan yetti vaqt edi, Hiram Edsonning omega kashfiyoti esa Hiddekel daryosi bilan ifodalangan yetti vaqt edi.
The 2520 represents the length of the period that is the same for each kingdom, but that begins and ends forty-six years apart. 1798 marks the time of the end and the arrival of the first angel of Revelation fourteen. 1798 is the fulfillment of the 2520 years of scattering brought upon the northern kingdom by the lion of Assyria. 1844 is the fulfillment of the “seven times” brought upon the southern kingdom and is represented by the lion of Babylon. The two rivers are the bookends for the history of the first and second angels’ messages that ended with the arrival of the third on October 22, 1844, when both the seventh trumpet and also the jubilee trumpet were sounded on the antitypical Day of Atonement.
2520 har bir shohlik uchun bir xil bo‘lgan davrning uzunligini ifodalaydi, biroq u qirq olti yil farq bilan boshlanib, yakunlanadi. 1798 yil oxirat vaqtini va Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobi birinchi farishtasining kelishini belgilaydi. 1798 yil Ossuriya sherining shimoliy shohlik ustiga keltirgan 2520 yillik tarqatib yuborish davrining amalga oshishidir. 1844 yil janubiy shohlik ustiga keltirilgan “yetti vaqt”ning amalga oshishi bo‘lib, Bobil sheriga nisbat beriladi. Ikki daryo birinchi va ikkinchi farishtalar xabarlari tarixining boshlanishi va tugashini belgilovchi tayanchlar bo‘lib, bu tarix 1844 yil 22 oktyabrda uchinchi farishtaning kelishi bilan yakun topdi; o‘sha kuni, timsoliy bo‘lmagan Poklanish kunida, yettinchi karnay ham, yubiley karnayi ham chalindi.
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. Leviticus 25:9.
Shunda yettinchi oyning o‘ninchi kunida yubiley karnayini chaldirasan; kafforat kunida butun yurtingiz bo‘ylab karnay chaldirasizlar. Leviticus 25:9.
The sounding of the seventh trumpet is a symbol of Christ’s work in combining His Divinity with humanity, and is represented by the 2300 years of the Ulai River vision, and the sounding of the jubilee trumpet is a symbol of the covenant of the land that was broken and brought upon God’s people, what Daniel called the curse and oath of Moses, and what Moses called the “quarrel of God’s covenant.”
Yettinchi karnayning chalinishi Masihning O‘z Ilohiyatini insoniyat bilan birlashtirishdagi ishining ramzidir va Ulai daryosi haqidagi vahiydagi 2300 yil orqali ifodalanadi; yubiley karnayining chalinishi esa buzilgan va Xudoning xalqining boshiga keltirilgan yer ahdining ramzidir — Doniyor buni Musoning la’nati va qasamyodi deb atagan, Muso esa buni “Xudoning ahdining janjali” deb atagan.
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. Daniel 9:11.
Ha, butun Isroil Sening qonuningni buzdi, hatto Sening ovozingga quloq solmaslik uchun undan yuz o‘girdi; shu bois la’nat ustimizga to‘kildi, va Xudoning quli Musoning qonunida yozilgan qasam ham, chunki biz Unga qarshi gunoh qildik. Doniyor 9:11.
The “curse” and the “oath” written of “in the law of Moses” is the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six. The word translated as “oath” is the same Hebrew word that in Leviticus is translated as “seven times.” The curse, for breaking the oath of the covenant in chapter twenty-five, is set forth in chapter twenty-six, where Moses identifies the curse as the “quarrel of the covenant.”
“Musoning qonunida” yozib qo‘yilgan “la’nat” va “qasam” Levilar kitobining yigirma oltinchi bobidagi “yetti karra”dir. “Qasam” deb tarjima qilingan so‘z, Levilar kitobida “yetti karra” deb tarjima qilingan ayni o‘sha ibroniycha so‘zdir. Yigirma beshinchi bobdagi ahd qasamini buzganlik uchun la’nat yigirma oltinchi bobda bayon etilgan bo‘lib, u yerda Muso bu la’natni “ahdning janjali” deb ta’riflaydi.
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 to‘planganingizda, orangizga vabo yuboraman; va sizlar dushman qo‘liga topshirilasizlar. Levilar 26:24, 25.
The Lord brought the sword of the lion of Assyria upon the northern kingdom to “punish” them by delivering them into “the hand of the enemy,” in 723 BC. Forty-six years later in 677 BC, the southern kingdom felt the curse of Moses. The curse of Moses is the quarrel of the covenant. For forty-six years the lions of Mesopotamia were employed by God to remove and trample down the host. At the end of that period of forty-six years Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the sanctuary. The host of Daniel’s question in verse thirteen of Daniel eight was enslaved by their enemies over a forty-six-year period that culminated with the destruction of the sanctuary, which was the other subject that was to be trampled down in verse thirteen. When those rivers reached 1798 and 1844 respectably, a host had been gathered together as a temple, for the host is a body, and the body is a temple. At the end of that period the temple erected over the forty-six years was to join with the heavenly temple in the marriage of Divinity with humanity. Marriage is between two temples, and what God joins together is not to be apart.
Egamiz Ossuriya sherining qilichini miloddan avvalgi 723-yilda shimoliy shohlik ustiga olib kelib, ularni “jazolash” uchun “dushman qo‘liga” topshirdi. Qirq olti yil o‘tgach, miloddan avvalgi 677-yilda janubiy shohlik Musoning laʼnatini his etdi. Musoning laʼnati ahdning nizosidir. Qirq olti yil davomida Mesopotamiya sherlari Qo‘shinlarni olib tashlash va oyoq osti qilish uchun Xudo tomonidan ishlatildi. Shu qirq olti yillik davr oxirida Navuxadnazar muqaddas maskanni vayron qildi. Doniyor sakkizinchi bobining o‘n uchinchi oyatidagi Doniyorning savolidagi qo‘shin qirq olti yil davomida dushmanlari tomonidan qullikka solindi; bu davr muqaddas maskanning vayron qilinishi bilan yakunlandi, muqaddas maskan esa o‘n uchinchi oyatda oyoq osti qilinishi kerak bo‘lgan boshqa mavzu edi. O‘sha daryolar tegishli ravishda 1798 va 1844-yillarga yetganda, bir qo‘shin maʼbad sifatida bir joyga jamlangan edi, chunki qo‘shin bir tanadir, tana esa maʼbaddir. Shu davr oxirida qirq olti yil davomida bunyod etilgan maʼbad samoviy maʼbad bilan Ilohiyatning insoniyat bilan nikohida birlashishi kerak edi. Nikoh ikki maʼbad o‘rtasidadir, va Xudo birlashtirgan narsani ajratib qo‘yish kerak emas.
The water of the Tigris came to 1798 and the water of the Euphrates came to 1844. Just before the arrival of the third angel, the second angel arrived, and thereafter at the Exeter, New Hampshire camp meeting on August 12–17, 1844, the message of the Midnight Cry was poured out. Exeter means “a water fortress,” and at the camp meeting, there was a counterfeit meeting held in a different tent, set up by a group from Watertown, Massachusetts. The waters that originated in Eden, according to Sister White, were about to be dispersed as “a tidal wave” across the eastern seaboard of the United States. The earthquake which triggered that tidal wave occurred in the Garden of Eden when Satan conquered mankind, causing a seismic upheaval in Eden whose waves reached the Midnight Cry of the Millerite history. That tidal wave floods into the Midnight Cry in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the wave that began at the earthquake of Adam’s sin reaches to the earthquake of the Sunday law of Revelation chapter eleven.
Tigr daryosining suvi 1798-yilgacha, Furot daryosining suvi esa 1844-yilgacha yetib keldi. Uchinchi farishta kelishidan sal avval ikkinchi farishta keldi, shundan so‘ng 1844-yil 12–17-avgust kunlari Nyu-Hempshir shtatining Ekseter shahridagi lager yig‘inida Yarim Tungi Nido xabari to‘kib berildi. Exeter “suv qal’asi” degan ma’noni anglatadi, va lager yig‘inida Massachusets shtatining Uotertaun shahridan bo‘lgan bir guruh tomonidan boshqa bir chodirda qalbaki yig‘in ham o‘tkazildi. Oqsingil Uaytga ko‘ra, Edendan boshlangan suvlar Qo‘shma Shtatlarning sharqiy dengizbo‘yi bo‘ylab “to‘lqinli suv toshqini” singari tarqalish arafasida edi. O‘sha to‘lqinli suv toshqinini qo‘zg‘atgan zilzila Adan bog‘ida, Shayton insoniyat ustidan g‘alaba qozongan paytda yuz berdi; buning natijasida Edenda shunday bir seysmik larzish sodir bo‘ldiki, uning to‘lqinlari Millerchilar tarixidagi Yarim Tungi Nidoga qadar yetib bordi. O‘sha to‘lqinli suv toshqini bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning tarixida Yarim Tungi Nidoga oqib kiradi, va Odam Atoning gunohi zilzilasidan boshlangan to‘lqin Vahiy kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi yakshanba qonuni zilzilasigacha yetib boradi.
The voice of Christ is the voice of many waters, and the waters combined, make up the message of the latter rain. Isaiah and his son Shearjashub are standing in verse three of chapter seven at the pool from the upper conduit, presenting the latter rain message in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. There Isaiah’s pronouncement upon the foolish and wicked king Ahaz is that the Lord would send upon Ahaz the waters of Assyria, king Sennacherib and his water would flow up to the neck.
Masihning ovozi ko‘p suvlarning ovozidir, va birlashgan bu suvlar keyingi yomg‘ir xabarini tashkil etadi. Ishayo va uning o‘g‘li Shearyashub yettinchi bobning uchinchi oyatida yuqori novdan chiqadigan hovuz yonida turib, bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining muhrlanish vaqtida keyingi yomg‘ir xabarini taqdim etmoqdalar. O‘sha yerda Ishayoning ahmoq va yovuz shoh Oxoz ustidan e’lon qilgan hukmi shuki, Rabbiy Oxozning ustiga Ossuriya suvlari — shoh Sanheribni — yuboradi, va uning suvi bo‘yinigacha ko‘tarilib oqadi.
The Lord spake also unto me again, saying, Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son; Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks: And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. Isaiah 8:5–8.
Egamiz yana menga shunday dedi: “Bu xalq ohista oqadigan Shilo‘x suvlarini rad etib, Rasin va Remalyoning o‘g‘lidan quvonar ekan, endi mana, Egamiz ularning ustiga daryoning qudratli va ko‘p suvlarini, ya’ni Ossuriya shohini va uning butun shon-shuhratini olib keladi; u o‘zining barcha o‘zanlaridan toshib chiqadi va barcha qirg‘oqlaridan oshib ketadi; Yahudo orqali o‘tadi; toshib, oshib ketadi; hatto bo‘yingacha yetadi; ey Immanuil, uning qanotlarining yoyilishi yurtingning kengligini to‘ldiradi.” Ishayo 8:5–8.
Ahaz refused the waters that were ‘sent’ by the Lord, so the Lord ‘sent’ the waters of Assyria to Ahaz. Ahaz “rejoiced” in the confederacy of “Rezin and Remaliah’s son.” Ahaz “rejoices” in a counterfeit latter rain message represented by Rezin and Remaliah’s son.
Ahaz Egamiz tomonidan “yuborilgan” suvlarni rad etdi, shuning uchun Egamiz Ahazga Ossuriya suvlarini “yubordi”. Ahaz “Razin va Remalyoning o‘g‘li”ning ittifoqidan “quvondi”. Ahaz Razin va Remalyoning o‘g‘li orqali ifodalangan soxta kechgi yomg‘ir xabaridan “quvonadi”.
Rezin and the son of Remaliah, who is Pekah, king of the northern kingdom, represent a counterfeit of Isaiah and his son. The foolish and wicked king Ahaz “rejoices” in the confederacy represented by the ten northern tribes of Israel and Syria, typifying the unlawful relationship of church and state at the Sunday law. Ahaz rejoices, for shame and joy are the two opposite emotions that are employed by inspiration to address those who are represented in the debate of the latter rain. When Jeremiah ate the little book it was the joy and rejoicing of his heart, and Joel informs us God’s people will never be ashamed. Ahaz, as a Laodicean is blind, so he is rejoicing in the false water message and rejecting Isaiah’s true water message. He should be ashamed for trusting in the counterfeit latter rain message represented by the flood of the king of the north, but he has rejected the message of Shiloah.
Rezin va Remaliyo‘g‘li, ya’ni shimoliy shohlikning shohi Peka, Ishayo va uning o‘g‘lining qalbakilashtirilgan soxtasini ifodalaydi. Ahmoq va yovuz shoh Oxoz Isroilning shimoldagi o‘n qabilasi hamda Suriya orqali ifodalangan ittifoqlanishdan “quvonadi”; bu esa Yakshanba qonuni davridagi cherkov bilan davlatning noqonuniy munosabatini timsollaydi. Oxoz quvonadi, chunki uyat va quvonch ilhom tomonidan keyingi yomg‘ir bahsida ifodalangan kishilarga murojaat etishda qo‘llaniladigan ikki qarama-qarshi hissiyotdir. Yeremiyo kichik kitobni yeganida, u uning yuragining quvonchi va shodligi edi, va Yo‘el bizga Xudoning xalqi hech qachon uyatga qolmasligini bildiradi. Oxoz, Laodikeyalik sifatida, ko‘rdir; shu bois u soxta suv xabaridan quvonib, Ishayoning haqiqiy suv xabarini rad etmoqda. U shimol shohining toshqini orqali ifodalangan qalbaki keyingi yomg‘ir xabariga ishonganidan uyatga qolishi kerak edi, ammo u Shilo‘ahning xabarini rad etdi.
The message of Shiloah in Isaiah eight is the message of the latter rain. The pool of Shiloah is identified in the New Testament as the pool of Siloam. In Hebrew or Greek it means “sent.” It was expedient for Christ to leave that He might “send” the Holy Spirit. Isaiah and Ahaz are at the pool of Shiloah, and the test is based upon whether to have faith in the pool Shiloah as represented by Isaiah and his son, or faith in Rezin and Remaliah’s son? Ahaz is choosing between two waters, the waters of Shiloah or the waters of the King of Assyria. Ahaz rejoiced in the alliance and message represented by Rezin and Remaliah’s son and he therefore received the flood of desolation, instead of the water that runs softly at his judgment. His judgment represents the Sunday law when the king of the north overflows the entire world like a flood. It does so from the Sunday law onward, when the flood of the Midnight Cry is also sweeping the world.
Ishayo sakkizinchi bobidagi Shiloah xabari oxirgi yomg‘ir xabaridir. Shiloah hovuzi Yangi Ahdda Siloam hovuzi sifatida tilga olinadi. Ibroniycha yoki yunonchada u “yuborilgan” degan ma’noni anglatadi. Muqaddas Ruhni “yuborishi” uchun Masihning ketishi maqsadga muvofiq edi. Ishayo bilan Oxoz Shiloah hovuzi yonidadir, va sinov shunga asoslanganki, Ishayo va uning o‘g‘li orqali ifodalangan Shiloah hovuziga ishonch qo‘yiladimi, yoki Resin bilan Remaliyoning o‘g‘liga ishonch qo‘yiladimi? Oxoz ikki suv orasidan tanlov qilmoqda: Shiloah suvlari yoki Ossuriya shohining suvlari. Oxoz Resin bilan Remaliyoning o‘g‘li orqali ifodalangan ittifoq va xabardan quvondi, va shu bois u o‘z hukmi vaqtida muloyim oqadigan suv o‘rniga vayronagarchilik toshqinini qabul qildi. Uning hukmi yakshanba qonunini ifodalaydi; o‘sha vaqtda shimol shohi butun dunyoni toshqinday bosib o‘tadi. Bu yakshanba qonunidan boshlab sodir bo‘ladi, o‘sha paytda Yarim tun faryodining toshqini ham dunyoni qamrab olayotgan bo‘ladi.
Ahaz rejoices in the alliance of the ten northern tribes and Syria, and thus rejoices in the message that combines church and state, as represented by every unlawful alliance found within God’s Word. Isaiah represents a Philadelphian and Ahaz a Laodicean. Christ connects Isaiah’s testimony with His own when He cures the blind man, a Laodicean at the pool of Siloam.
Ahaz shimoldagi o‘n qabilaning Suriya bilan ittifoqidan quvonadi va shu tariqa, Xudoning Kalomida uchraydigan har bir noqonuniy ittifoq orqali ifodalanganidek, jamoat va davlatni birlashtiradigan xabardan quvonadi. Ishayo Filadelfiyalikni, Ahaz esa Laodikeyalikni ifodalaydi. Masih ko‘r odamni, ya’ni Siloam hovuzidagi bir Laodikeyalikni sog‘aytirganida, Ishayoning guvohligini O‘zinikisi bilan bog‘laydi.
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Iso o‘tib borar ekan, tug‘ilganidan beri ko‘r bo‘lgan bir odamni ko‘rdi. Shunda Uning shogirdlari Undan so‘rab dedilar: “Ustoz, uning ko‘r tug‘ilishiga kim gunoh qilgan: o‘zimi yoki ota-onasimi?”
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
Iso javob berdi: Bu odam ham, uning ota-onasi ham gunoh qilgan emas; balki Xudoning ishlari unda zohir bo‘lishi uchundir. Meni yuborganning ishlarini kunduz ekan, Men qilishim kerak; kecha keladi, o‘shanda hech kim ishlay olmaydi. Men dunyoda ekanman, dunyoning nuriman. Shunday deb aytgach, U yerga tupurdi va tupukdan loy qildi, so‘ng ko‘r odamning ko‘zlariga o‘sha loyni surtdi. Va unga dedi: Borib, Siloam hovuzida yuvin. (Bu nom tarjima qilinganda, Yuborilgan, degan ma’noni bildiradi.) Shunda u borib yuvindi va ko‘ra oladigan bo‘lib qaytib keldi.
The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
Shunday qilib, qo‘shnilari va ilgari uning ko‘r bo‘lganini ko‘rganlar: “Tilanchilik qilib o‘tiradigan o‘sha odam shu emasmi?” — dedilar. Ba’zilari: “Bu o‘shaning o‘zi”, — dedilar; boshqalari esa: “U unga o‘xshaydi”, — dedilar. Ammo uning o‘zi: “Men o‘shaman”, — dedi. Shunda ular undan: “Ko‘zlaring qanday ochildi?” — deb so‘radilar.
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. John 9:1–11.
U javob berib dedi: Iso degan bir kishi loy qilib, ko‘zlarimga surtdi va menga dedi: “Siloam hovuziga borib yuvin.” Men borib yuvindim va ko‘ra boshladim. Yuhanno 9:1–11.
The blind man along with the foolish and wicked king Ahaz are tested as to whether to place their confidence in the pool of Siloam or the flood of Assyria. The blind man knows he is blind, but Ahaz is rich, increased with goods and in need of nothing. Ahaz is the foolish virgin at the pool of the latter rain, and the blind man a wise virgin. The waters that are Sent from, or the waters that are sent from Assyria are the test.
Ko‘r odam, nodon va yovuz shoh Oxoz bilan birga, o‘z ishonchini Silom hovuziga yoki Ossuriya toshqiniga qo‘yish-qo‘ymasligi borasida sinovdan o‘tkaziladi. Ko‘r odam o‘zining ko‘r ekanini biladi, ammo Oxoz boy, mol-dunyoga to‘lgan va hech narsaga muhtoj emas. Oxoz keyingi yomg‘ir hovuzi yonidagi nodon bokiradir, ko‘r odam esa dono bokiradir. Yuborilgandan keladigan suvlar yoki Ossuriyadan yuboriladigan suvlar — sinovdir.
A pool is where water is gathered together, and prophetically a pool is where the various streams, rivers, creeks, seas, oceans, lakes, rain and dew of all the “waters” which represent the voice of Christ are gathered together. The pool of the latter rain is formed by the water which flows from the upper pool. The pool represents the message of the latter rain in the context of a test. Ahaz rejected the waters that flow softly, but the blind man was obedient to the message connected with the pool. Jesus took some of His Divinity, represented as “spit” and combined it with clay, representing the combination of Divinity with humanity that is accomplished by Christ in the Most Holy Place.
Hovuz — suv jamlanadigan joydir; bashoratiy ma’noda esa hovuz Masihning ovozini ifodalovchi barcha “suvlar”ning — turli oqimlar, daryolar, irmoqlar, dengizlar, okeanlar, ko‘llar, yomg‘ir va shabnamning — bir joyga jamlanadigan maskanidir. Oxirgi yomg‘ir hovuzi yuqori hovuzdan oqib keladigan suvdan hosil bo‘ladi. Hovuz sinov doirasidagi oxirgi yomg‘ir xabarini ifodalaydi. Oxoz mayin oqadigan suvlarni rad etdi, ammo ko‘r kishi hovuz bilan bog‘liq xabarga itoat qildi. Iso O‘zining Ilohiyatidan bir qismini, “tupuk” bilan ifodalanganini oldi va uni loy bilan qo‘shdi; bu esa Masih tomonidan Eng Muqaddas Joyda amalga oshiriladigan Ilohiyat bilan insoniyatning birlashuvini ifodalaydi.
Christ spat on the ground and mixed His spit to form clay. He used the message of the combination of Divinity and humanity to anoint the eyes of the blind man. The message represented by the combination of Divinity and humanity is the message of 1888, and it is designed to transform a person from the condition of Laodicea unto the condition of Philadelphia. But the message requires human participation. They must go to the pool, then wash.
Masih yerga tupurib, tupugi bilan loy qildi. U ilohiylik va insoniyatning birikmasi haqidagi xabarni ko‘rning ko‘zlariga surtish uchun ishlatdi. Ilohiylik va insoniyatning birikmasi bilan ifodalangan xabar 1888-yilgi xabardir va u insonni Laodikiya holatidan Filadelfiya holatiga o‘zgartirish uchun mo‘ljallangandir. Ammo bu xabar insonning ishtirokini talab qiladi. Ular hovuzga borib, keyin yuvinishlari kerak.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but Jesus said the blind man and his parents had not sinned. Jesus is removing the question of blame from the blind man’s condition, and identifies him as a man that was raised up to glorify the Lord, and the prophetic man in Bible prophecy that is raised up for the purpose that “the works of God should be made manifest” are the ensign, which is made up of men and women who have transitioned from Laodicea to Philadelphia. The ensign is where the works of God are manifested, for His work was to combine Divinity with humanity (as represented by the ointment of clay), and the trophies of that work are those who not only heard the Laodicean message, but those who followed the prescription in the message. The prescription for the blind man was to go and wash. Once he could see he did not need to try and glorify God, the circumstances surrounding him made that happen.
Hamma gunoh qilgan va Xudoning ulug‘vorligidan mahrum bo‘lgan, biroq Iso ko‘r odam ham, uning ota-onasi ham gunoh qilmaganini aytdi. Iso ko‘r odamning ahvolidan ayb masalasini olib tashlaydi va uni Rabbiyga ulug‘vorlik keltirish uchun ko‘tarilgan odam sifatida belgilaydi; Muqaddas Kitob bashoratidagi “Xudoning ishlari zohir bo‘lishi uchun” ko‘tariladigan bashoratli odam esa Laodikiyadan Filadelfiyaga o‘tgan erkaklar va ayollardan tashkil topgan bayroqdir. Bayroq — Xudoning ishlari namoyon bo‘ladigan joydir, chunki Uning ishi Ilohiylikni insoniyat bilan birlashtirish edi (loydan qilingan malham bilan ifodalanganidek), va o‘sha ishning sovrinlari nafaqat Laodikiyaga yo‘llangan xabarni eshitganlar, balki o‘sha xabardagi ko‘rsatmaga amal qilganlardir. Ko‘r odam uchun ko‘rsatma borib yuvinish edi. U ko‘ra olgach, Xudoni ulug‘lashga urinishi kerak emas edi; uning atrofidagi sharoitlar buning yuz berishiga sabab bo‘ldi.
It began with Christ’s approach, followed by Christ’s work. The last work of Christ in the Heavenly sanctuary in relation to man is to transform a human being from a valley of dead dry bones, or from being dead in the streets or from being blind as a bat. His last work is to recreate His people into His image, and that is the very work He did when He created Adam out of the dust of the ground, then breathed into him the breath of life. The last work is the first work, for He first made the clay and then anointed that clay with the life of His Spirit. With Adam the Spirit was His breath, with the blind man it was the water. With Ezekiel’s valley of dead bones it was a gathering message which created the body. Then a message of the four winds was breathed upon the body, and then it stood up as an mighty army.
Bu Masihning yaqinlashuvi bilan boshlandi, undan keyin esa Masihning ishi keldi. Samoviy muqaddas joyda inson bilan bog‘liq holda Masihning oxirgi ishi — insonni o‘lik, quruq suyaklar vodiysidan, yoki ko‘chalarda yotgan o‘lik holatidan, yoxud mutlaqo ko‘r holatidan o‘zgartirishdir. Uning oxirgi ishi — O‘z xalqini O‘z suratiga qayta yaratishdir, va aynan shu ishni U Odamni yer tuprog‘idan yaratib, so‘ngra uning ichiga hayot nafasini puflaganida qilgan edi. Oxirgi ish — birinchi ishning o‘zidir, chunki U avval loyni yasadi, so‘ngra o‘sha loyni O‘z Ruhining hayoti bilan moyladi. Odam bilan Ruh Uning nafasi edi, ko‘r odam bilan esa u suv edi. Hizqiyolning o‘lik suyaklar vodiysida esa u tanani yaratgan bir yig‘ish xabari edi. So‘ngra to‘rt shamol haqidagi bir xabar tanaga puflandi, va shundan keyin u qudratli bir lashkar bo‘lib oyoqqa turdi.
While the blind man was yet blind, Jesus saw Him and then approached him. He approaches the blind man within the context of a question that was raised by His disciples, thus allowing Him to establish the proper prophetic setting for the illustration. The “works of God” are a prophetic symbol upon many various lines of witnesses in the Bible. Every manifestation of the “works of God” in the Scriptures is fulfilled in the time of the latter rain. Jesus is placing the context of the story in terms of the final message, as represented by Elijah in the last verses of Malachi.
Ko‘r odam hali ham ko‘r bo‘lgan paytda, Iso uni ko‘rdi va so‘ng uning oldiga bordi. U ko‘r odamga shogirdlari tomonidan ko‘tarilgan bir savol doirasida yaqinlashadi; shu tariqa U tasvir uchun tegishli payg‘ambarlik muhitini belgilashiga yo‘l ochadi. “Xudoning ishlari” Muqaddas Kitobda guvohlikning ko‘plab turli yo‘nalishlari bo‘ylab payg‘ambarlik timsolidir. Muqaddas Yozuvlarda “Xudoning ishlari”ning har bir namoyoni so‘nggi yomg‘ir vaqtida amalga oshadi. Iso hikoyaning mazmuniy doirasini Malakining so‘nggi oyatlarida Ilyos orqali ifodalangan yakuniy xabar nuqtai nazaridan belgilamoqda.
The parents and the blind child are not condemned as sinners, for this is the time of God’s marvelous works, and in that time the hearts of the parents and the hearts of the children will get turned to see the issue at hand. The issue being—whether the blind Laodicean man has been changed into a anointed Philadelphian man. That is the issue that confronts the parents and the child in the time of the latter rain, for that is also the time of judgment. And the time of judgment is carried out during the third and fourth generations according to Abraham’s covenant prophecy. The blind man is the last and fourth generation, and his parents are the third. In that period the Elijah message places families into circumstances where they are forced to accept or reject the message of the pool of Siloam. The foolish and wicked king Ahaz rejected the message of that pool, but the blind man accepted. The Elijah message of Malachi is set in the context of a curse before the great and terrible day of the Lord.
Ota-onalar hamda ko‘zi ojiz bola gunohkorlar sifatida hukm qilinmaydi, chunki bu Xudoning ajoyib ishlari namoyon bo‘ladigan zamondir; o‘sha zamonda esa ota-onalarning yuraklari va bolalarning yuraklari ko‘rib chiqilayotgan masalani anglash uchun buriladi. Masala esa shundan iboratki — ko‘zi ojiz Laodikiya odami moylangan Filadelfiya odamiga aylantirilganmi-yo‘qmi. Keyingi yomg‘ir zamonida ota-onalar va bola oldida turgan masala ana shudir, chunki bu hukm zamoni hamdir. Hukm zamoni esa Ibrohim ahdi bashoratiga ko‘ra uchinchi va to‘rtinchi avlodlar davomida amalga oshiriladi. Ko‘zi ojiz odam oxirgi, ya’ni to‘rtinchi avloddir, uning ota-onasi esa uchinchidir. O‘sha davrda Ilyos xabari oilalarni shunday vaziyatlarga qo‘yadiki, ular Siloam hovuzi xabarini qabul qilishga yoki rad etishga majbur bo‘ladilar. Ahmoq va yovuz shoh Ohoz o‘sha hovuzning xabarini rad etdi, biroq ko‘zi ojiz odam uni qabul qildi. Malakiyodagi Ilyos xabari, Egamizning buyuk va dahshatli kuni oldidan la’nat kontekstida bayon etilgan.
When Jesus organized the setting we are considering, He included in His summary of the purpose of the miracle was that He must work then, for a time will come when no man can work. The work He referred to takes place in the daylight, and the end of work is represented as night. His reference is to the close of probation.
Iso ko‘rib chiqayotganimiz manzarani tartibga solganida, mo‘jizaning maqsadi haqidagi O‘z xulosasiga shuni ham kiritdiki, U hozir ishlashi kerak, chunki hech kim ishlay olmaydigan vaqt keladi. U nazarda tutgan ish kunduzda amalga oshadi, ishning tugashi esa tun bilan ifodalanadi. Uning ishorasi sinov muddatining yakuniga qaratilgandir.
When He finishes His work of judgment, he takes off His priestly garments and puts on His garments of vengeance. When He finishes that work of separating the lost from the saved, the work of salvation ends. Probation is closed and it is now nighttime when no man can work. Christ’s message was not only the Laodicean message to a blind man, but it was the Elijah message set within the context of the nearness of the close of probation, which is Christ’s sanctified motivation to work for the saving of souls.
U O‘zining hukm ishini tugatgach, ruhoniylik liboslarini yechib, qasos liboslarini kiyadi. Halok bo‘ladiganlar bilan najot topadiganlarni ajratish ishini tugatgach, najot ishi nihoyasiga yetadi. Sinov muddati yopiladi va endi hech kim ishlay olmaydigan tun kiradi. Masihning xabari faqat ko‘r odamga qaratilgan Laodikiya xabari emas edi, balki u, sinov muddatining yaqinlashib qolgan yakuni doirasiga joylashtirilgan Ilyos xabari edi; bu esa Masihning jonlarni qutqarish yo‘lida mehnat qilishga undovchi muqaddas sababidir.
First Christ approached the blind man, then prepared and applied the ointment, then gave instructions for a work that the blind man must do for himself, and just as importantly is that as he takes up the work his sight is restored. Once he has sight he has transformed from a blind Laodicean into a Philadelphian. The transformation period of those two churches was fulfilled in the beginning from 1856 unto 1863.
Avval Masih ko‘r odamga yaqinlashdi, so‘ng malhamni tayyorlab surtib qo‘ydi, undan keyin esa ko‘r odamning o‘zi bajarishi lozim bo‘lgan bir ish uchun ko‘rsatmalar berdi; va xuddi shunday muhim jihat shundaki, u o‘sha ishni boshlashi bilan uning ko‘zi ochildi. Ko‘rish qobiliyatiga ega bo‘lgach, u ko‘r Laodikeyalikdan Filadelfiyalikka aylandi. O‘sha ikki jamoatning o‘zgarish davri boshida, 1856 yildan 1863 yilgacha, bajo keltirildi.
That period represents the separation of the wheat and tares, and the final sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are thereafter lifted up as an ensign. The blind man immediately became the public focus—once he changed from a Laodicean unto a Philadelphian. The blind man is the one hundred and forty-four thousand and the wicked and foolish king Ahaz are the former covenant people who are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord. At the same point in history, Jesus is either using his spit to anoint His new covenant people, or He is spitting the old covenant people out of His mouth.
O‘sha davr bug‘doy bilan begona o‘tlarning ajratilishini va shundan keyin bayroq sifatida ko‘tariladigan bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning yakuniy muhrlanishini ifodalaydi. Ko‘r odam darhol omma diqqatining markaziga aylandi — bir marta u Laodikeyadan Filadelfiyaga o‘zgargach. Ko‘r odam bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingdir, yovuz va nodon shoh Oxoz esa Egamizning og‘zidan chiqarib tashlanadigan avvalgi ahd xalqidir. Tarixning ayni shu nuqtasida Iso yo tupugini ishlatib O‘zining yangi ahd xalqini moylamoqda, yo eski ahd xalqini O‘z og‘zidan tupurib tashlamoqda.
We will continue these thoughts in the next article.
Bu fikrlarni keyingi maqolada davom ettiramiz.
“The Coming Crisis
“Yaqinlashib Kelayotgan Inqiroz”
“With unerring accuracy the Infinite One keeps an account with all nations. While his mercy is offered with calls to repentance, this account will remain open; but when a certain limit which God has fixed is reached, the ministry of his wrath begins. The account is then closed; divine patience ceases; there is no more pleading for mercy in their behalf.
Cheksiz Zot benuqson aniqlik bilan barcha xalqlar bilan hisob-kitob yuritadi. Uning rahm-shafqati tavbaga chorlovlar bilan taklif etilar ekan, bu hisob ochiq qoladi; ammo Xudo belgilab qo‘ygan muayyan chegara yetib kelganda, Uning g‘azabi xizmati boshlanadi. Shunda hisob yopiladi; ilohiy sabr-toqat nihoyasiga yetadi; ular uchun endi rahm-shafqat so‘rab yolvorish bo‘lmaydi.
“The prophet, looking down the ages, had our time presented before his vision. The nations of this age have been the recipients of unprecedented mercies. The choicest of Heaven’s blessings have been given them; but increased pride, covetousness, idolatry, contempt of God, and base ingratitude, are written against them. They are fast closing up their account with God.
“Payg‘ambar asrlar osha nigoh tashlar ekan, bizning zamonimiz uning ko‘z o‘ngida namoyon etildi. Bu asr xalqlari mislsiz marhamatlarning qabul qiluvchilari bo‘ldilar. Osmonning eng tanlangan barakalari ularga berildi; ammo ularga qarshi ortib borayotgan mag‘rurlik, tamagirlik, butparastlik, Xudoga nisbatan nafrat va pastkash noshukurlik yozilgandir. Ular Xudo bilan bo‘lgan hisoblarini tezda yakunlamoqdalar.
“The days are fast approaching when there will be great perplexity and confusion in the religious world. There will be gods many and lords many; every wind of doctrine will be blowing; and Satan, clothed in angel robes, would deceive, if it were possible, the very elect.
“Diniy dunyoda buyuk hayrat va sarosimalik hukm suradigan kunlar tez yaqinlashmoqda. Xudolar ko‘p va rabbilar ko‘p bo‘ladi; ta’limotning har bir shamoli esadi; va Shayton farishta libosiga burkanib, agar iloji bo‘lsa, hatto tanlanganlarning o‘zini ham aldar edi.
“The universal scorn thrown upon true piety and holiness, leads those who have not a living connection with God to lose their reverence for his law. And as the disrespect for the divine law becomes more manifest, the line of demarcation between its observers and the world and a world-loving church will become more distinct. Love of God’s precepts increases with one class, according as contempt for them increases with the other.
“Haqiqiy taqvodorlik va muqaddaslikka yog‘dirilayotgan umumiy nafrat, Xudo bilan tirik aloqaga ega bo‘lmaganlarni Uning qonuniga bo‘lgan ehtiromini yo‘qotishga olib keladi. Ilohiy qonunga nisbatan hurmatsizlik tobora ravshanroq namoyon bo‘lar ekan, unga rioya qiluvchilar bilan dunyo va dunyosevar jamoat o‘rtasidagi ajratuvchi chiziq yanada aniqroq bo‘lib boradi. Xudoning amrlariga bo‘lgan muhabbat bir toifada ortib boradi, xuddi shu darajada boshqa toifada ularga nisbatan nafrat kuchayib boradi.”
“The great I AM is vindicating his law. He is speaking to those who make it void in storms, in floods, in tempests, in earthquakes, in perils by land and by sea. Now is the time for his people to show themselves true to principle.
“Ulug‘ MEN BOR bo‘lgan Zot O‘z qonunini oqlamoqda. U bo‘ronlarda, toshqinlarda, dovullarda, zilzilalarda, quruqlikdagi va dengizdagi xavf-xatarlarda uni bekor qiladiganlarga so‘zlamoqda. Endi Uning xalqi o‘zini tamoyilga sodiq ekanini namoyon etadigan vaqtdir.
“We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. The Lord is at the door. Upon the Mount of Olives the Saviour rehearsed the scenes that were to precede this great event: ‘Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars,’ he said. ‘Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.’ While these prophecies received a partial fulfilment at the destruction of Jerusalem, they have a more direct application in the last days.
“Biz ulug‘ va tantanavor voqealarning ostonasida turibmiz. Rabbiy eshik oldidadir. Najotkor Zaytun tog‘ida ushbu buyuk hodisadan oldin yuz berishi lozim bo‘lgan manzaralarni bayon qildi: ‘Urushlar va urush xabarlarini eshitasizlar’, dedi U. ‘Xalq xalqqa va shohlik shohlikka qarshi ko‘tariladi; turli joylarda ocharchiliklar, vabolar va zilzilalar bo‘ladi. Bularning hammasi dard-alamlarning boshlanishidir’. Bu bashoratlar Quddusning vayron qilinishida qisman bajo bo‘lgan bo‘lsa-da, ular so‘nggi kunlarda yanada bevosita tatbiq etiladi.”
“John and the other prophets also were witnesses of the terrible scenes that will take place as signs of Christ’s coming. They saw armies mustering for battle, and men’s hearts failing them for fear. They saw the earth moved out of its place, the mountains carried into the midst of the sea, the waves thereof roaring and troubled, and the mountains shaking with the swelling thereof. They saw the vials of God’s wrath opened, and pestilence, famine, and death come upon the inhabitants of the earth.
“Yuhanno va boshqa payg‘ambarlar ham Masihning kelishining alomatlari sifatida yuz beradigan dahshatli manzaralarning guvohlari bo‘lganlar. Ular jang uchun to‘planayotgan qo‘shinlarni va odamlarga qo‘rquvdan yurak yetishmayotganini ko‘rdilar. Ular yerning o‘z o‘rnidan siljiganini, tog‘larning dengiz qa’riga tashlanganini, uning to‘lqinlari guvullab, toshqinlanib bezovta bo‘lganini, va tog‘larning uning ko‘tarilishidan larzaga kelganini ko‘rdilar. Ular Xudoning g‘azab kosalari ochilganini, va o‘lat, ocharchilik hamda o‘lim yer aholisi boshiga kelganini ko‘rdilar.”
“Already the restraining Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the world. And hurricanes, tempests, disasters by sea and land, follow each other in quick succession. Science seeks to explain all these. The signs thickening around us, telling of the near approach of the Son of God, are attributed to any other than the true cause. Men cannot discern the sentinel angels restraining the four winds that they may not blow until the servants of God are sealed; but when God shall bid his angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of his avenging wrath as no pen can picture.
“Xudoning tiyib turuvchi Ruhi allaqachon dunyodan chekinmoqda. Va dovullar, bo‘ronlar, dengizda hamda quruqlikdagi falokatlar bir-birining ortidan tez sur’atda kelmoqda. Ilm bularning barchasini tushuntirishga urinadi. Atrofimizda tobora zichlashib borayotgan, Xudoning O‘g‘lining yaqinlashib kelayotganidan xabar beruvchi alomatlar haqiqiy sababdan boshqa har qanday narsaga nisbat berilmoqda. Odamlar Xudoning xizmatkorlari muhrlanguncha esmasin deb to‘rt shamolni tiyib turgan qo‘riqchi farishtalarni anglay olmaydilar; ammo Xudo O‘z farishtalariga shamollarni qo‘yib yuborishni amr etganda, Uning qasoskor g‘azabining shunday bir manzarasi yuz beradiki, uni hech bir qalam tasvirlab bera olmaydi.”
“A crisis is just upon us; but God’s servants are not to trust to themselves in this great emergency. In the visions given to Isaiah, Ezekiel, and John, we see how closely heaven is connected with the events transpiring upon the earth. We see the care of God for those who are loyal to him. The world is not without a ruler. The program of coming events is in the hands of the Lord. The Majesty of heaven has the destiny of nations, as well as the concerns of his church, in his own keeping.
“Bir inqiroz ayni ustimizga kelib qoldi; biroq Xudoning xizmatkorlari bu buyuk tanglikda o‘zlariga tayanmasliklari kerak. Ishayo, Hizqiyol va Yuhannoga berilgan vahiylarda biz osmon yer yuzida sodir bo‘layotgan voqealar bilan naqadar yaqin bog‘langanini ko‘ramiz. Biz Unga sodiq bo‘lganlar uchun Xudoning g‘amxo‘rligini ko‘ramiz. Dunyo Hukmdorsiz emas. Kelajak voqealarining dasturi Rabbiyning qo‘lidadir. Osmon Saltanatining Ulug‘ Zotining O‘z jamoatining ishlari kabi xalqlarning taqdiri ham O‘z ixtiyoridadir.”
“God has revealed what is to take place in the last days, that his people may be prepared to stand against the tempests of opposition and wrath. Those who have been warned of the events before them are not to sit in calm expectation of the coming storm, comforting themselves that the Lord will shelter his faithful ones in the day of trouble. We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance.
“Xudo oxirgi kunlarda sodir bo‘ladigan narsalarni O‘z xalqiga oshkor qildi, toki ular qarshilik va g‘azab bo‘ronlariga qarshi turishga tayyor bo‘lsinlar. Oldilaridagi voqealar haqida ogohlantirilganlar kelayotgan bo‘ronni xotirjam kutib o‘tirmasliklari, Rabbiy musibat kunida O‘z sodiqlarini pana qiladi, deb o‘zlarini ovutmasliklari kerak. Biz Rabbimizni kutayotgan odamlar kabi bo‘lishimiz lozim — behuda kutish ichida emas, balki qat’iy imon bilan, sidqidildan mehnat qilib. Hozir ongimizning mayda-chuyda ahamiyatga ega narsalar bilan band bo‘lishiga yo‘l qo‘yadigan vaqt emas.”
“While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the under-current is tending. Its professions are mild, and apparently Christian; but when it shall speak, it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should bring before the people the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures, and be able to give the reason for our faith. Says the prophet, ‘The wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.’
“Odamlar uxlab yotgan bir paytda, Shayton Rabbimizning xalqi rahm-shafqat ham, adolat ham topmasligi uchun faol ravishda ishlarni yo‘lga qo‘ymoqda. Yakshanba harakati hozir zulmat ichida o‘z yo‘lini topib bormoqda. Yetakchilar haqiqiy masalani yashirmoqdalar, va bu harakatga qo‘shilayotganlarning ko‘plari o‘zlari ham ostki oqim qayoqqa yo‘nalayotganini ko‘rmaydilar. Uning da’volari muloyim va, tashqi ko‘rinishda, masihiyona; biroq u gapira boshlaganida, ajdahoning ruhini namoyon qiladi. Tahdid solayotgan xavfni daf etish uchun qo‘limizdan kelgan barcha ishni qilish bizning burchimizdir. Biz xalq oldiga muhokama qilinayotgan masalaning asl mohiyatini qo‘yishimiz kerak, shu tariqa vijdon erkinligini cheklovchi chora-tadbirlarga qarshi eng ta’sirchan norozilikni bildirgan bo‘lamiz. Muqaddas Yozuvlarni tadqiq etishimiz va e’tiqodimizning sababini bayon eta olishimiz kerak. Payg‘ambar shunday deydi: ‘Yovuzlar yovuzlik qilurlar, va yovuzlardan hech biri tushunmas; ammo donolar tushunurlar.’”
“The important future is before us. To meet its trials and temptations, and to perform its duties, will require great faith, energy, and perseverance. But we may triumph gloriously; for not one watching, praying, believing soul will be ensnared by the devices of the enemy. All heaven is interested in our welfare, and waits our demand upon its wisdom and strength. Every opposing influence, whether open or secret, may be successfully resisted, ‘not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.’ God is just as willing now as anciently to work through human efforts, and to accomplish great things through weak instrumentalities. We shall not gain the victory through numbers, but through full surrender of the soul to Jesus.
“Muqaddas bo‘lgan muhim kelajak oldimizdadir. Uning sinovlari va vasvasalariga qarshi turish hamda uning burchlarini ado etish uchun buyuk imon, g‘ayrat va sabr-toqat talab etiladi. Ammo biz ulug‘vor tarzda g‘alaba qozonishimiz mumkin; chunki hushyor turgan, ibodat qilayotgan, imonli biron jon ham dushmanning hiyla-nayranglariga ilinib qolmaydi. Butun osmon bizning farovonligimiz bilan qiziqadi va o‘zining donoligi hamda qudratini talab qilishimizni kutadi. Har qanday qarshi ta’sir, u oshkora bo‘ladimi yoki yashirin, muvaffaqiyatli ravishda yengib o‘tilishi mumkin, ‘kuch bilan ham emas, qudrat bilan ham emas, balki Mening Ruhim bilan, deydi Sarvari Olam.’ Xudo qadim zamonlarda bo‘lgani kabi, hozir ham insoniy sa’y-harakatlar orqali ish ko‘rishga va zaif vositalar orqali buyuk ishlarni amalga oshirishga xuddi shunday tayyordir. Biz g‘alabani son jihatdan emas, balki jonning Isoga to‘liq taslim bo‘lishi orqali qo‘lga kiritamiz.”
