The abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet is a sign for Christians in three different eras to flee. The Christians in Jerusalem fled when they saw the standards of the Roman armies encompassing Jerusalem in the year 66 AD. The Christians of the late fifth and early sixth century fled into the wilderness when they saw the man of sin in the temple of God proclaiming that he was God. In 1888 there was a series of Sunday laws introduced into the Congress of the United States by Senator Blair. Those bills were called the Blair bills, and they were an effort to identify Sunday as a National Day of Worship. Sunday worship is the mark of the beast, the mark of papal authority and the Constitution of the United States directly opposes the enforcement of a national religion as a test for the citizens of the United States.
Doniyor payg‘ambar so‘zlagan vayronagarchilikning jirkanchligi masihiylar uchun uch xil davrda qochish alomati hisoblanadi. Quddusdagi masihiylar milodiy 66-yilda Rim qo‘shinlarining bayroqlari Quddusni qurshab olganini ko‘rganlarida qochib ketdilar. Beshinchi asrning oxiri va oltinchi asrning boshlaridagi masihiylar esa, gunoh odamini Xudoning ma’badida o‘zini Xudo deb e’lon qilayotganini ko‘rganlarida sahroga qochib ketdilar. 1888-yilda AQSh Kongressiga senator Bler tomonidan yakshanba qonunlarining bir qatori kiritildi. Bu qonun loyihalari Bler qonun loyihalari deb atalgan bo‘lib, yakshanba kunini Milliy Ibodat Kuni sifatida belgilashga qaratilgan urinish edi. Yakshanba ibodati mahluqning tamg‘asi, papalik hokimiyatining tamg‘asidir, va Qo‘shma Shtatlar Konstitutsiyasi milliy dinni AQSh fuqarolari uchun sinov sifatida majburan joriy etishga bevosita qarshi turadi.
It is this fact that is left out of the flawed application connected with identifying the United States as modern Rome. A triple application of prophecy possesses specific rules that govern its application. The rules identify that the prophetic characteristics of the first fulfillment are to be combined with the prophetic characteristics of the second fulfillment in order to establish the prophetic characteristics of the third fulfillment.
Aynan mana shu haqiqat Qo‘shma Shtatlarni zamonaviy Rim bilan aynanlashtirishga bog‘liq bo‘lgan nuqsonli tatbiqdan chetda qoldirilgan. Bashoratning uch karra tatbiqi uning tatbiq etilishini boshqaradigan aniq qoidalarga egadir. Bu qoidalar uchinchi bajo bo‘lishning bashoratiy xususiyatlarini belgilash uchun birinchi bajo bo‘lishning bashoratiy xususiyatlari ikkinchi bajo bo‘lishning bashoratiy xususiyatlari bilan birlashtirilishi lozimligini ko‘rsatadi.
The warning to flee, is a warning to flee from a coming persecution. In Christ’s era the persecution was the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in the year 70. The warning sign of that approaching persecution was given in the year 66 AD. The warning to flee in the late fifth and early sixth century was identified by Paul as the recognition of a falling away of prophetic Pergamos, which represented pagan Rome. There was to be a falling away first, in order for the man of sin who would proclaim himself as God to be revealed. In the history approaching 538, pagan Rome that had restrained, or as Paul stated “withholdeth” was taken away, and as Pergamos fell away and the sign to flee arrived and directed the faithful to separate from the papal churches communion. Then in 538, at the Counsel of Orleans the papal power passed a Sunday law, and the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal persecution began.
Qochish haqidagi ogohlantirish — kelayotgan ta’qibdan qochish haqidagi ogohlantirishdir. Masih davrida bu ta’qib milodiy 70-yilda Quddus va ma’badning vayron qilinishi edi. Yaqinlashib kelayotgan o‘sha ta’qibning ogohlantiruvchi belgisi milodiy 66-yilda berilgan edi. Beshinchi asr oxiri va oltinchi asr boshlaridagi qochish haqidagi ogohlantirishni Pavlus bashoratli Pergamning, ya’ni majusiy Rimni ifodalagan tizimning, murtadlashuvini anglash deb ko‘rsatgan. O‘zini Xudo deb e’lon qiladigan gunoh odami oshkor bo‘lishi uchun, avvalo bir murtadlashuv sodir bo‘lishi kerak edi. 538-yilga yaqinlashgan tarixda to‘sib turgan, yoki Pavlus aytganidek, “ushlab turgan” majusiy Rim olib tashlandi, va Pergam murtadlashgach, qochish belgisi yetib kelib, sodiqlarni papalik jamoatlarining hamjihatligidan ajralishga yo‘naltirdi. So‘ng 538-yilda, Orlean Kengashida, papalik hokimiyati yakshanba qonunini qabul qildi va papalik ta’qibining bir ming ikki yuz oltmish yili boshlandi.
The first two witnesses identify clearly that the third fulfillment of the warning to flee given by Christ preceded the actual persecution. The destruction of Jerusalem came exactly three and a half years after the siege of Cestius began in 66 AD, thus allowing the Christians to flee in advance of the horrors of the second siege which was instigated by Titus and concluded with the destruction of the temple and city. In advance of the year 538, the Christians separated from the church of papal Rome, and prophetically fled into the wilderness, which represents the destruction of spiritual Jerusalem.
Dastlabki ikki guvoh Masih tomonidan berilgan qochish haqidagi ogohlantirishning uchinchi bajo bo‘lishi haqiqiy quvg‘indan oldin sodir bo‘lganini aniq ko‘rsatadi. Quddusning vayron qilinishi milodiy 66-yilda Cestius qamali boshlanganidan roppa-rosa uch yarim yil o‘tib yuz berdi; shu tariqa, nasroniylarga Titus tomonidan boshlangan va ma’bad hamda shahar vayron qilinishi bilan yakunlangan ikkinchi qamalning dahshatlaridan oldin qochib ketish imkoniyati berildi. 538-yildan oldin nasroniylar papalik Rim cherkovidan ajralib chiqdilar va bashoratga ko‘ra sahroga qochdilar; bu esa ruhiy Quddusning vayron bo‘lishini ifodalaydi.
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Revelation 11:2, 3.
Ammo ma’baddan tashqaridagi hovlini tashlab qo‘y, uni o‘lchama; chunki u g‘ayriyahudiylarga berilgandir. Ular muqaddas shaharni qirq ikki oy oyoqosti qiladilar. Va Men O‘zimning ikki guvohimga qudrat beraman, ular qanorga o‘ranib, bir ming ikki yuz oltmish kun bashorat qiladilar. Vahiy 11:2, 3.
In both illustrations of the warning to flee, the warning precedes the persecution, and the persecution is represented by Rome, whether pagan or papal, trampling down Jerusalem, whether literal or spiritual. The warning to flee for Seventh-day Adventist was the Blair bill in 1888. In the first fulfillment in the history of pagan Rome the Christians were to flee from Jerusalem, and in fulfillment of papal Rome the Christians fled into the wilderness. For Adventism the warning was to flee into the country.
Qochishga doir ogohlantirishning har ikkala tasvirida ham ogohlantirish quvg‘indan oldin keladi, va quvg‘in butparast bo‘lsin yoki papalikka oid bo‘lsin, Rim tomonidan, u tom ma’nodagi yoki ruhiy bo‘lsin, Quddusning oyoq osti qilinishi orqali ifodalanadi. Yettinchi kun Adventistlari uchun qochish haqidagi ogohlantirish 1888-yildagi Blair qonun loyihasi edi. Butparast Rim tarixidagi birinchi bajo bo‘lishda masihiylar Quddusdan qochishlari kerak edi, papalik Rimining bajo bo‘lishida esa masihiylar sahroga qochdilar. Adventizm uchun esa ogohlantirish qishloqqa qochish edi.
“It is no time now for God’s people to be fixing their affections or laying up their treasure in the world. The time is not far distant, when, like the early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a refuge in desolate and solitary places. As the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to the Judean Christians, so the assumption of power on the part of our nation in the decree enforcing the papal sabbath will be a warning to us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.” Testimonies, volume 5, 464.
“Xudoning xalqiga hozir o‘z mehr-muhabbatini dunyoga bog‘laydigan yoki xazinasini unda to‘playdigan vaqt emas. Ilk shogirdlar singari, biz ham huvillab qolgan va tanho joylardan panoh izlashga majbur bo‘ladigan vaqt uzoq emas. Rim qo‘shinlarining Quddusni qamal qilishi Yahudiyadagi masihiylar uchun qochish ishorasi bo‘lganidek, xalqimiz tomonidan papalik shanbasini majburan joriy etuvchi farmon orqali hokimiyatning o‘z qo‘liga olinishi ham biz uchun ogohlantirish bo‘ladi. O‘shanda katta shaharlardan chiqib ketish va undan keyin kichikroq shaharlardan ham tog‘lar orasidagi yakkalanib qolgan joylardagi xilvat maskanlarga ko‘chib ketishga tayyorgarlik ko‘rish vaqti bo‘ladi.” Testimonies, 5-jild, 464.
“The assumption of power on the part of our nation in the decree enforcing the papal sabbath will be a warning to us,” was fulfilled when the abomination of desolation, in agreement with Mark’s words was “standing where it ought not.” In 1888, the Congress of the United States was considering a law in direct contradiction to a primary element of the Constitution, and at that point Seventh-day Adventists were to leave the cities and move to the country.
“Xalqimiz tomonidan papalik shanbasini majburan tatbiq etuvchi farmonda hokimiyatni o‘z zimmasiga olish biz uchun ogohlantirish bo‘ladi”, degan so‘zlar Markning so‘zlariga muvofiq “bo‘lmasligi lozim bo‘lgan joyda turgan” vayronagarchilik jirkanchligi namoyon bo‘lganida amalga oshdi. 1888-yilda Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari Kongressi Konstitutsiyaning asosiy unsurlaridan biriga to‘g‘ridan-to‘g‘ri zid bo‘lgan qonunni ko‘rib chiqayotgan edi va ayni o‘sha paytda Yettinchi kun adventistlari shaharlardan chiqib, qishloq joylarga ko‘chishlari lozim edi.
“Not one Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem. Christ had given His disciples warning, and all who believed His words watched for the promised sign. . . . Without delay they fled to a place of safety—the city of Pella, in the land of Perea, beyond Jordan.” The Great Controversy, 30.
“Quddusning vayron qilinishida birorta ham masihiy halok bo‘lmadi. Masih O‘z shogirdlariga ogohlantirish bergan edi, va Uning so‘zlariga ishonganlarning barchasi va’da qilingan alomatni kutib turdilar.... Ular hech bir kechiktirmasdan xavfsiz joyga — Iordan ortidagi Pereya yurtidagi Pella shahriga qochib ketdilar.” The Great Controversy, 30.
The prophetic characteristics of the first of the warning signs to flee, represent the third and final fulfillment. Sometimes those prophetic characteristics produce a double fulfillment in the third fulfillment. An example of this is the three Elijah’s. The line of Elijah in his confrontation with Jezebel, Ahab and the prophets of Baal, combined with the characteristics of John the Baptist, the second Elijah, in his confrontation with Herodias, Herod and Salome establish that in the last days, for the third and final fulfillment of a triple application is always in the last days, Elijah and John represent two classes of God’s people. One class represented by Elijah do not die, and the other class represented by John do die. The two classes are also represented in Revelation chapter seven as the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who do not die, and the great multitude that do die.
Qochish uchun berilgan ogohlantiruvchi alomatlarning birinchisiga xos bo‘lgan payg‘ambarlik xususiyatlari uchinchi va yakuniy bajo kelishni ifodalaydi. Ba’zan o‘sha payg‘ambarlik xususiyatlari uchinchi bajo kelishda ikki karra bajo kelishni yuzaga keltiradi. Bunga uchta Ilyos misol bo‘la oladi. Ilyosning Izabel, Axab va Baal payg‘ambarlari bilan to‘qnashuvidagi yo‘nalishi, ikkinchi Ilyos bo‘lgan Yahyo Cho‘mdiruvchining Hirodiya, Hirod va Salome bilan to‘qnashuvidagi xususiyatlari bilan birlashib, oxirgi kunlarda — zero uch karra tatbiqning uchinchi va yakuniy bajo kelishi har doim oxirgi kunlarda bo‘ladi — Ilyos va Yahyo Xudoning xalqining ikki toifasini ifoda etishini belgilaydi. Ilyos bilan ifodalangan bir toifa o‘lmaydi, Yahyo bilan ifodalangan boshqa toifa esa o‘ladi. Bu ikki toifa Vahiy kitobining yettinchi bobida ham o‘lmaydigan yuz qirq to‘rt ming va o‘ladigan buyuk olomon sifatida tasvirlangan.
In the three Babylon’s a similar element of the prophetic message is that the first Babylon is represented by Nimrod, but the second Babylon is represented by the first and last kings, Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. Nebuchadnezzar represents those in Babylon who will be saved, and Belshazzar, those in Babylon who will be lost.
Uch Bobil haqidagi bashoratli xabarda o‘xshash bir unsur shundan iboratki, birinchi Bobil Nimrod orqali ifodalanadi, ammo ikkinchi Bobil birinchi va oxirgi shohlar — Navuxadnazar va Belshazar orqali ifodalanadi. Navuxadnazar Bobilda najot topadiganlarni, Belshazar esa Bobilda halok bo‘ladiganlarni ifodalaydi.
In the last days there are two Sunday laws that are the subject of Bible prophecy. The first is the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, and the second is the Sunday law that is forced upon the entire world. Those two Sunday laws were typified by the Sunday law of pagan Rome, when in the year 321, Constantine enforced the first Sunday law, followed by the Sunday law of Papal Rome in 538. Pagan Rome is one of several prophetic types that prefigure the United States, and the Sunday law of 321, typifies the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. The papal Sunday law of 538 typifies the Sunday law that is enforced upon the entire world. The flawed view that the United States is typified by the robbers in Daniel eleven tries to employ the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States as evidence to claim that the Sunday law in the United States proves that the United States is modern Rome, and disregards that there is another Sunday law that is forced upon every nation of the world by the threefold union of the dragon, the beast and false prophet.
Oxirgi kunlarda Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining mavzusi bo‘lgan ikkita yakshanba qonuni mavjud. Birinchisi — Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida yaqin orada chiqadigan yakshanba qonuni, ikkinchisi esa butun dunyoga majburan joriy etiladigan yakshanba qonunidir. Bu ikki yakshanba qonuni butparast Rimning yakshanba qonuni orqali timsollangan edi: milodiy 321-yilda Konstantin birinchi yakshanba qonunini kuch bilan joriy qildi, so‘ngra 538-yilda Papalik Rimining yakshanba qonuni keldi. Butparast Rim Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarini oldindan ko‘rsatuvchi bir necha bashoratli timsollardan biridir, va 321-yildagi yakshanba qonuni Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida yaqin orada chiqadigan yakshanba qonunining timsolidir. 538-yildagi papalik yakshanba qonuni esa butun dunyoga joriy etiladigan yakshanba qonunining timsolidir. Daniel o‘n birinchi bobdagi qaroqchilar Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining timsoli, degan nuqsonli qarash Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida yaqin orada chiqadigan yakshanba qonunidan dalil sifatida foydalanishga urinadi va Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlaridagi yakshanba qonuni Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari zamonaviy Rim ekanini isbotlaydi, deb da’vo qiladi; shu bilan birga, ajdaho, maxluq va soxta payg‘ambarning uchlik ittifoqi tomonidan dunyoning har bir xalqiga majburan joriy etiladigan yana bir yakshanba qonuni borligini e’tibordan chetda qoldiradi.
If a Sunday law in the United States identifies the United States as Modern Rome, then what does the worldwide Sunday law identify? The three Rome’s identify that Modern Rome, which is threefold, will enforce two distinct Sunday laws. The first is in the United States and was typified by Constantine’s Sunday law in 321, and the second is the entire world, as typified by the papal Sunday law of 538. To employ the Sunday law in the United States in the context of a triple application of prophecy to claim that the Sunday law proves who is Modern Rome, is to disregard the prophetic characteristics established by pagan and papal Rome. There are two distinct Sunday laws in the last days, and neither is a proof to identify the robbers of the people are the United States. When the testimony of pagan and papal Rome is misrepresented to uphold a private interpretation, as is currently being done, it demonstrates that those seeking to uphold their private interpretation do not understand type and antitype.
Agar Qo‘shma Shtatlardagi yakshanba qonuni Qo‘shma Shtatlarni Zamonaviy Rim sifatida aniqlasa, unda butunjahon yakshanba qonuni nimani aniqlaydi? Uch Rim shuni aniqlaydiki, uch qismli bo‘lgan o‘sha Zamonaviy Rim ikki alohida yakshanba qonunini ijro etadi. Birinchisi Qo‘shma Shtatlarda bo‘lib, u 321-yildagi Konstantinning yakshanba qonuni orqali timsollangan edi; ikkinchisi esa 538-yildagi papalik yakshanba qonuni orqali timsollanganidek, butun dunyoni qamrab oladi. Bashoratning uch karra qo‘llanilishi doirasida Qo‘shma Shtatlardagi yakshanba qonunidan foydalanib, yakshanba qonuni kimning Zamonaviy Rim ekanini isbotlaydi, deb da’vo qilish, butparast va papalik Rim tomonidan belgilangan bashoriy xususiyatlarni mensimaslikdir. Oxirgi kunlarda ikki alohida yakshanba qonuni bor, va ularning hech biri xalqning talonchilari Qo‘shma Shtatlar ekanini aniqlash uchun dalil emas. Butparast va papalik Rimning shahodati, hozir qilinayotganidek, xususiy talqinni qo‘llab-quvvatlash uchun noto‘g‘ri talqin qilinganda, bu o‘z xususiy talqinini himoya qilishga urinayotganlar timsol va uning ro‘yobini tushunmasliklarini ko‘rsatadi.
Pagan Rome is a type of the United States, and papal Rome typifies modern Rome. Along with this misapplication of a triple application of prophecy, and the claim that what is being taught is set in the context of “type and antitype,” is the other failure of defining the “abomination of desolation” as it is represented within the context of a triple application of prophecy.
Butparast Rim Qo‘shma Shtatlarning timsolidir, papalik Rimi esa zamonaviy Rimning timsoli hisoblanadi. Bashoratning uch karra qo‘llanilishining bu noto‘g‘ri tatbiqi va o‘rgatilayotgan narsa “timsol va unga mos keluvchi voqelik” doirasida bayon etilmoqda, degan da’vo bilan bir qatorda, “vayron qiluvchi jirkanchlik”ni bashoratning uch karra qo‘llanilishi doirasida qanday ifodalangan bo‘lsa, shunday ta’riflashdagi boshqa bir muvaffaqiyatsizlik ham mavjud.
From the year 66 to the year 70 AD, two Roman generals attacked Jerusalem. Both generals, Cestius and Titus began with a siege, but only one withdrew from the siege for a brief period of time, which providentially allowed the Christians to flee. It was the first siege under Cestius that the Christians recognized the warning to flee. When Titus arrived to carry on the warfare against Jerusalem in the year 70 AD, he began with a siege and did not cease until Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed. The warning of Jesus contains two steps. First is the sign to flee, and thereafter the persecution. In the fulfillment of the warning in the fifth and sixth centuries the Christians separated from the corrupt Roman church before 538, and then the persecution began.
Milodiy 66-yildan 70-yilgacha bo‘lgan davrda ikki Rim sarkardasi Quddusga hujum qildi. Har ikki sarkarda — Cestius ham, Titus ham — qamal bilan boshladi, ammo faqat bittasi qamalni qisqa muddatga to‘xtatib, orqaga chekindi; bu esa ilohiy taqdir bilan nasroniylarga qochib ketish imkonini berdi. Nasroniylar qochish haqidagi ogohlantirishni aynan Cestius boshchiligidagi birinchi qamalda angladilar. Titus milodiy 70-yilda Quddusga qarshi urushni davom ettirish uchun kelganida, u qamal bilan boshladi va Quddus hamda ma’bad vayron qilinmaguncha to‘xtamadi. Iso bergan ogohlantirish ikki bosqichni o‘z ichiga oladi. Avval qochish uchun alomat beriladi, undan keyin esa ta’qib boshlanadi. Beshinchi va oltinchi asrlardagi ushbu ogohlantirishning ro‘yobga chiqishida nasroniylar 538-yildan oldin buzuqlashgan Rim cherkovidan ajralib chiqdilar, so‘ng esa ta’qib boshlandi.
Paul is very clear that all the recorded history of ancient Israel was written for those living in the last days, and that all those histories were types, although the Greek word “typos,” meaning types is translated as ensamples in his classic presentation of this truth.
Pavlus qadimgi Isroilning yozib qoldirilgan butun tarixi oxirgi kunlarda yashovchilar uchun yozilganini juda ravshan ta’kidlaydi va bu haqiqat haqidagi o‘zining klassik bayonida “typos” — ya’ni “timsollar” ma’nosini bildiruvchi yunoncha so‘z “ensamples” deb tarjima qilingan bo‘lsa-da, u tarixlarning barchasi timsol bo‘lganini aytadi.
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1 Corinthians 10:11.
Endi bu narsalarning barchasi ularga ibrat bo‘lishi uchun yuz berdi; va ular zamonlarning oxiri yetib kelgan bizlarni ogohlantirish uchun yozib qo‘yilgan. 1 Korinfliklarga 10:11.
The histories in chapter ten which Paul uses to set the context for this truth was not a history of ancient Israel acting righteously.
Pavlus bu haqiqat uchun kontekst yaratish maqsadida o‘ninchi bobda foydalangan tarixlar qadimgi Isroilning solihlik bilan ish tutganligi tarixi emas edi.
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 1 Corinthians 10:5–9.
Ammo ulardan ko‘pchiligidan Xudo rozi bo‘lmadi, chunki ular sahroda halok bo‘ldilar. Endi bu narsalar biz uchun ibrat bo‘ldi, toki biz ham ular nafs qilganlaridek yomon narsalarga nafs qilmasligimiz uchun. Ularning ba’zilari kabi butparast ham bo‘lmanglar; yozilganidek: “Xalq o‘tirib yedi va ichdi, so‘ng turib o‘ynagani ketdi.” Ularning ba’zilari qilganidek biz ham zinokorlik qilmaylik; ular bir kunda yigirma uch ming kishi bo‘lib yiqildilar. Ularning ba’zilari kabi biz ham Masihni sinamaylik; ular sinab, ilonlar tomonidan halok qilindilar. 1 Korinfliklarga 10:5–9.
Sacred history is a record of both the righteousness and unrighteousness of God’s people, but in either record the history is still a type for God’s people living in the last days. The history of the rebellion in Minneapolis in 1888, is a record of unrighteousness, in spite of what Adventist historians’ claim. The rebellion was so profound that Ellen White determined to leave the meeting, and only stayed because an angel told her it was her responsibility to stay and record the rebellion that was a parallel to the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram in the history of Moses. At that meeting the mighty angel of Revelation chapter eighteen descended, but the message He brought was rejected.
Muqaddas tarix — Xudoning xalqining ham solihligi, ham nohaqligining qaydidir, ammo har ikkala qaydda ham bu tarix baribir oxirgi kunlarda yashayotgan Xudoning xalqi uchun bir timsoldir. 1888-yilda Minneapolisdagi isyon tarixi, Adventist tarixchilarning da’volariga qaramay, nohaqlikning qaydidir. Isyon shu qadar chuqur edi-ki, Ellen Uayt yig‘ilishni tark etishga qaror qildi, va faqat bir farishta unga qolib, Musoning tarixida Qo‘rah, Datan va Abiram isyoniga parallel bo‘lgan bu isyonni qayd etish uning mas’uliyati ekanini aytgani uchun qoldi. O‘sha yig‘ilishda Vahiy kitobining o‘n sakkizinchi bobidagi qudratli farishta tushdi, biroq U olib kelgan xabar rad etildi.
That history typified September 11, 2001, when the great buildings of New York City were brought down. That history included the first Sunday law bill that was to be introduced by Senator Blair. His efforts to enforce Sunday as a National Day of Worship failed, but it was part of a sacred history that typified the last days. Senator Blair’s bill was the warning to flee the cities. Before 1888 when Sister White spoke of the necessity of living out of the cities, she spoke in the future tense. She pointed to a time in the near future when God’s people must move to the country. After 1888, all of Sister White’s references to the necessity of country living placed her counsel in the context that the time to be in the country had already arrived. The Blair bill in 1888, was the sign of Sunday enforcement, as Luke put it, in a place where it ought not be. Sunday enforcement was not to be brought into the Congress of the United States, for it was a denial of a primary principle of the Constitution.
O‘sha tarix 2001-yil 11-sentabrni, ya’ni Nyu-York shahrining ulkan binolari qulatilgan vaqtni, timsolladi. O‘sha tarix Senator Blair tomonidan taqdim etilishi kerak bo‘lgan birinchi yakshanba qonuni loyihasini ham o‘z ichiga olgan edi. Uning yakshanbani Milliy Ibodat Kuni sifatida majburiy joriy etish borasidagi sa’y-harakatlari muvaffaqiyatsiz tugadi, biroq bu oxirgi kunlarni timsollagan muqaddas tarixning bir qismi edi. Senator Blairning qonun loyihasi shaharlardan qochish haqidagi ogohlantirish edi. 1888-yildan avval, Oq opa shaharlardan tashqarida yashash zarurati haqida gapirganda, u kelasi zamonda so‘zlardi. U yaqin kelajakda Xudoning xalqi qishloq joylarga ko‘chib o‘tishi lozim bo‘ladigan bir vaqtga ishora qilgan edi. 1888-yildan keyin esa, Oq opaning qishloqda yashash zarurati haqidagi barcha murojaatlari uning maslahatini qishloqda bo‘lish vaqti allaqachon kelgan degan mazmunda bayon etdi. 1888-yildagi Blair qonun loyihasi, Luqo ifodalaganidek, bo‘lmasligi kerak bo‘lgan joyda yakshanbani majburiy joriy etishning alomati edi. Yakshanbani majburiy joriy etish Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari Kongressiga olib kirilmasligi kerak edi, chunki bu Konstitutsiyaning asosiy tamoyillaridan birini inkor etish edi.
The history of 1888 was recorded in order to typify the prophetic history that began on September 11, 2001. The Blair Bill in 1888 typified the Patriot Act of 2001. It was the warning that preceded the actual enforcement of the mark of the beast. No one who is following Christ should be living in a city after September 11, 2001. It was the prophetic siege that directed God’s people to flee. And just as there are two Sunday laws that are the subject of the prophetic model of the last days, as represented by the Sunday laws of pagan and papal Rome, both Sunday laws are preceded by the warning to flee.
1888 yil tarixi 2001-yil 11-sentabrda boshlangan bashoratli tarixni timsollash uchun qayd etilgan edi. 1888-yildagi Bler Billi 2001-yildagi Patriot Act’ni timsolladi. U maxluqning tamg‘asining amalda majburiy tatbiq etilishidan oldingi ogohlantirish edi. Masihga ergashayotgan hech kim 2001-yil 11-sentabrdan keyin shaharda yashab qolmasligi kerak. Bu Xudoning xalqiga qochishni ko‘rsatgan bashoratli qamal edi. Va butparast va papalik Rimining yakshanba qonunlari bilan ifodalangan, oxirgi kunlarning bashoratli modeli mavzusi bo‘lgan ikkita yakshanba qonuni mavjud bo‘lgani kabi, har ikkala yakshanba qonunidan ham oldin qochish haqidagi ogohlantirish keladi.
For those who profess to be Seventh-day Adventists, they were to prophetically recognize the Patriot Act as a sign to flee the cities for the country in advance of the soon-coming Sunday law. That very same Sunday law was the sign for God’s other flock who are still in Babylon to flee out of Babylon in advance of the Sunday enforcement that is to be brought upon every nation.
O‘zlarini Yettinchi kun adventistlari deb e’tirof etuvchilar uchun Patriot Act yaqinda keladigan yakshanba qonunidan oldin shaharlardan qishloqlarga qochish lozimligining bashoratli alomati sifatida tan olinishi kerak edi. Aynan o‘sha yakshanba qonunining o‘zi hali ham Bobil ichida bo‘lgan Xudoning boshqa podasi uchun har bir millat ustiga keltirilajak yakshanba majburiyati joriy etilishidan oldin Bobildan chiqib ketishning alomati edi.
“As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the Papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18.
“Diniy erkinlik yurti bo‘lgan Amerika vijdonni majburlash va insonlarni soxta shanbani hurmat qilishga zo‘rlashda Papalik bilan birlashar ekan, yer yuzidagi har bir mamlakat xalqi uning namunasiga ergashishga yo‘naltiriladi.” Testimonies, 6-jild, 18-bet.
Just as the triple application of the three Elijah’s establishes that there are two classes of God’s people in the last days, the triple application of Rome identifies that there are two distinct Sunday laws. Those who wish to claim that the United States is the robbers of thy people, and therefore the prophetic role of the United States establishes the vision suggest that the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is the abomination of desolation that Christ identified as a warning for His people to flee from the coming persecution. They fail to identify the distinction between the siege, which is the warning sign to flee, and the second siege that represents when the actual enforcement of a Sunday law begins the persecution of the last days. They fail to address the distinction established upon two witnesses that there is to be two distinct Sunday laws that fulfill prophecy in the last days. In doing so they argue the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States is the warning represented as the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, and it is, but not as they define it.
Uch Ilyosning uch karra tatbiq etilishi oxirgi kunlarda Xudoning xalqining ikki toifasi borligini belgilagani kabi, Rimning uch karra tatbiq etilishi ham yakshanba qonunlarining ikkita alohida turi borligini aniqlab beradi. Qo‘shma Shtatlar “sening xalqingdagi qaroqchilar” deb da’vo qilishni istaganlar, va shuning uchun Qo‘shma Shtatlarning payg‘ambarlikdagi roli vahiyni belgilaydi, deb ta’kidlaydilar; ular Qo‘shma Shtatlarda yaqin orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni Masih O‘z xalqiga kelayotgan quvg‘indan qochish uchun ogohlantirish sifatida ko‘rsatgan vayronagarchilik jirkanchligi ekanini ilgari suradilar. Ular qamal — qochish uchun ogohlantiruvchi belgi bo‘lgan qamal — bilan, yakshanba qonunining amaldagi ijrosi boshlanib, oxirgi kunlar quvg‘inini boshlab beradigan vaqtni ifodalovchi ikkinchi qamal o‘rtasidagi farqni ajrata olmaydilar. Ular ikki guvoh asosida belgilangan farqni, ya’ni oxirgi kunlarda payg‘ambarlikni bajo keltiradigan ikkita alohida yakshanba qonuni bo‘lishi kerakligini e’tiborga olmaydilar. Shunday qilish bilan ular Qo‘shma Shtatlarda yaqin orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni Doniyor payg‘ambar tomonidan aytilgan vayronagarchilik jirkanchligi sifatida ifodalangan ogohlantirishdir, deb ta’kidlaydilar; va u shundaydir, ammo ular ta’riflagan ma’noda emas.
The Sunday law in the United States is the warning for God’s other flock that is still in Babylon to flee from her communion. It is therefore a warning of the coming Sunday law that is enforced upon all the nations.
Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlaridagi yakshanba qonuni hali ham Bobilda bo‘lgan Xudoning boshqa podasi uchun uning diniy hamjamiyatidan qochib chiqish haqidagi ogohlantirishdir. Shuning uchun u barcha xalqlarga majburan joriy etiladigan kelajakdagi yakshanba qonuni to‘g‘risidagi ogohlantirishdir.
“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.
“Chet elatlar Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining namunasiga ergashadilar. U yetakchilik qilsa-da, shu bilan birga ayni inqiroz dunyoning barcha qismlaridagi xalqimiz boshiga ham keladi.” Testimonies, 6-jild, 395.
Their claim is that the Sunday law in the United States is identifying the United States as the symbol which establishes the prophetic vision, but in the context of the warning to flee given by Christ, that Sunday law represents a world-wide warning to the eleventh-hour workers to flee from Babylon.
Ularning da’vosi shuki, Qo‘shma Shtatlardagi yakshanba qonuni Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarini bashoratli vahiyni o‘rnatadigan ramz sifatida aniqlab bermoqda, biroq Masih tomonidan berilgan qochish haqidagi ogohlantirish kontekstida, o‘sha yakshanba qonuni o‘n birinchi soat ishchilari uchun Bobil’dan qochishga doir butun dunyo miqyosidagi ogohlantirishni ifodalaydi.
When Sister White addresses the warning to flee, she addresses the Sunday law issue that overtakes the whole world. That movement begins at the Sunday law in the United States. She identifies that the Sunday law in the United States is the warning of the coming persecution.
Opa Uayt qochish haqidagi ogohlantirish bilan murojaat qilganida, u butun dunyoni qamrab oladigan yakshanba qonuni masalasini nazarda tutadi. Bu harakat Qo‘shma Shtatlardagi yakshanba qonunidan boshlanadi. U Qo‘shma Shtatlardagi yakshanba qonuni kelayotgan quvg‘inning ogohlantirishi ekanini ko‘rsatadi.
“By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.
“Papalik institutini Xudoning qonunini buzgan holda majburan joriy etuvchi farmon bilan, millatimiz o‘zini solihlikdan butunlay uzib qo‘yadi. Protestantizm Rim hokimiyatining qo‘lini ushlash uchun jarlik uzra qo‘l cho‘zganda, tubsizlik osha spiritizm bilan qo‘l berib ko‘rishganda, ushbu uch tomonlama ittifoq ta’siri ostida yurtimiz protestant va respublika boshqaruviga ega hukumat sifatidagi o‘z Konstitutsiyasining har bir tamoyilini rad etganda hamda papalikning soxtaliklari va aldovlarini yoyish uchun sharoit yaratganda, ana shunda biz Shaytonning hayratomuz faoliyati uchun vaqt kelganini va oxirat yaqinligini bilishimiz mumkin.
“As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return. The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress which prophets have described as the time of Jacob’s trouble. The cries of the faithful, persecuted ones ascend to heaven. And as the blood of Abel cried from the ground, there are voices also crying to God from martyrs’ graves, from the sepulchers of the sea, from mountain caverns, from convent vaults: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.
“Rim qo‘shinlarining yaqinlashuvi shogirdlar uchun Quddusning yaqinlashib kelayotgan vayron qilinishining alomati bo‘lganidek, shu tarzda bu murtadlik ham biz uchun Xudoning sabr-toqati chegarasiga yetilganining, xalqimizning gunohkorligi o‘lchovi to‘lgani va rahm-shafqat farishtasi endi qaytib kelmaslik uchun parvoz qilmoqchi ekanining alomati bo‘lishi mumkin. Shundan so‘ng Xudoning xalqi payg‘ambarlar Yoqubning kulfati vaqti deb tasvirlagan o‘sha azob-uqubat va iztirob manzaralariga g‘arq bo‘ladi. Sodiq, ta’qib ostidagi zotlarning faryodlari osmonga ko‘tariladi. Hobilning qoni yerdan faryod qilganidek, shahidlar qabrlari, dengiz qa’ri qabristonlari, tog‘ g‘orlari, monastirlar dahmalari orasidan ham Xudoga nido qilayotgan ovozlar bor: ‘Ey muqaddas va haqiqiy Rabbiy, qachongacha Sen yer yuzida yashovchilar ustidan hukm chiqarmay va qonimiz uchun qasos olmay turasan?’” Testimonies, 5-jild, 451.
Sister White is identifying the Sunday law in the United States, and identifies it as a “sign” that probationary time for the United States is over. But God’s people in the other nations of the world are also to be confronted with the same test. There is a period of time from the Sunday law in the United States until Michael stands up and human probation closes. When it closes, “the angel of mercy takes her flight.”
Opa Uayt Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlaridagi yakshanba qonunini ko‘rsatmoqda va uni Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari uchun sinov muddati tugaganining “alomati” deb belgilamoqda. Ammo dunyoning boshqa xalqlaridagi Xudoning xalqi ham ayni shu sinovga duch kelishi kerak. Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlaridagi yakshanba qonunidan boshlab, Mixail oyoqqa turadigan va insoniyat uchun sinov muddati yopiladigan paytgacha muayyan bir vaqt oralig‘i bor. U yopilganda, “rahm-shafqat farishtasi uchib ketadi.”
