We are in the process of considering Revelation chapters eleven through thirteen, where we find all the antagonists in the final probationary battle of the great controversy that occurs on the battlefield of the first heaven. The antagonists are the one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude that comes out of Babylon as a secondary force, against the United Nations, the Catholic Church, the United States and Satan himself. The one hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude are God’s army, representing the third angel’s message, and both sides in the warfare are also confronted with the army of God’s judgment, represented not by the third angel, but by the third woe.
Biz Vahiy kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidan o‘n uchinchi bobigacha bo‘lgan qismlarini ko‘rib chiqish jarayonidamiz; bu yerda birinchi osmon jang maydonida yuz beradigan buyuk mojaroning so‘nggi sinov muddatiga oid jangida qatnashuvchi barcha qarshi tomonlarni topamiz. Qarshi tomonlar — bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingliklar hamda ikkilamchi kuch sifatida Bobildan chiqadigan buyuk olomon bo‘lib, ular Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkiloti, Katolik cherkovi, Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari va Shaytonning o‘ziga qarshi turadilar. Bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingliklar va buyuk olomon Xudoning lashkaridir; ular uchinchi farishtaning xabarini ifodalaydi, va urushdagi har ikki tomon ham uchinchi farishta bilan emas, balki uchinchi voy bilan ifodalangan Xudoning hukm lashkari bilan yuzma-yuz keladi.
In order to identify certain characteristics that contributed to the murder of the Republican and Protestant horns in 2020, we are seeking to identify prophetic characteristics that occur in the battle of mankind in the first heaven, from the Sunday law until Michael stands up. In that history the entire world is forced to erect an image to the beast. That history is a repetition of the history of the United States from September 11, 2001, until the soon coming Sunday law, which divides those two parallel histories. As parallel histories they both represent a witness to the other history. What takes place in one of those histories, will also take place in the other history. It is the second history that is the focus of Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, and we intend to understand the second witness, in order to shed prophetic light upon the first history, which is now almost finished.
2020-yilda Respublikachi va Protestant shoxlarning o‘ldirilishiga hissa qo‘shgan ayrim xususiyatlarni aniqlash uchun, biz yakshanba qonunidan tortib Mixail oyoqqa turadigan paytgacha bo‘lgan davrda insoniyatning birinchi osmonda kechadigan jangida namoyon bo‘ladigan bashoratli xususiyatlarni aniqlashga intilyapmiz. O‘sha tarixda butun dunyo mahluqqa bir surat tiklashga majbur qilinadi. O‘sha tarix 2001-yil 11-sentabrdan to tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonunigacha bo‘lgan Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari tarixining takroridir; aynan shu qonun ushbu ikki parallel tarixni bir-biridan ajratib turadi. Parallel tarixlar sifatida ularning har ikkalasi ham boshqa tarix uchun bir guvohlikni ifodalaydi. O‘sha tarixlardan birida yuz beradigan narsa, boshqasida ham yuz beradi. Ikkinchi tarix Vahiy kitobining o‘n ikkinchi va o‘n uchinchi boblari markazidagi mavzudir, va biz hozir deyarli tugab qolgan birinchi tarixga bashoratli nur solish uchun ikkinchi guvohni tushunishni maqsad qilganmiz.
The three powers that lead the world to Armageddon are represented in chapters twelve and thirteen. The dragon power is first mentioned.
Dunyoni Armageddonga yetaklaydigan uch hokimiyat o‘n ikkinchi va o‘n uchinchi boblarda tasvirlangan. Avval ajdarho hokimiyati tilga olinadi.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:3, 4.
Va osmonda yana bir alomat ko‘rindi; va mana, yetti boshli, o‘n shoxli, boshlarida yettita toj bo‘lgan ulkan qizil ajdarho. Uning dumi osmondagi yulduzlarning uchdan bir qismini sudrab, ularni yerga uloqtirdi; va ajdarho tug‘ishga hozir bo‘lgan ayolning oldida turar edi, toki bola tug‘ilishi bilanoq uni yutib yuborsin. Vahiy 12:3, 4.
Sister White informs us that the dragon in this chapter is Satan, but in a secondary sense it is pagan Rome. Both Satan and pagan Rome typify the United Nations. The beast’s ten horns represent the evil confederacy of ten kings in Revelation seventeen. Those ten kings are represented in Revelation seventeen, and they are there identified as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. The beast is represented as having seven heads with seven crowns, marking it as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. In Daniel two they are represented as spiritual Greece, and they are also Ahab in the testimony of Mount Carmel, and they are the ten enemies of Psalms eighty-three.
Opa Uayt bizga bu bobdagi ajdarho Shayton ekanini, ammo ikkilamchi ma’noda u butparast Rim ekanini bildiradi. Shayton ham, butparast Rim ham Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining timsolidir. Hayvonning o‘n shoxi Vahiy kitobining o‘n yettinchi bobidagi o‘n shohdan iborat yovuz konfederatsiyani ifodalaydi. O‘sha o‘n shoh Vahiy kitobining o‘n yettinchi bobida tasvirlangan bo‘lib, u yerda ular Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining yettinchi shohligi sifatida aynan shunday belgilab qo‘yilgan. Hayvon yetti bosh va yetti tojga ega qilib tasvirlangan bo‘lib, bu uni Muqaddas Kitob bashoratining yettinchi shohligi ekanini ko‘rsatadi. Doniyorning ikkinchi bobida ular ruhiy Yunoniston sifatida tasvirlangan; shuningdek, Karmel tog‘ining guvohligida ular Ahabdir, hamda ular Zabur sakson uchdagi o‘n dushmandir.
The second earthly power of the enemy mentioned in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen, is the beast that comes out of the sea, who Sister White directly identifies as Catholicism.
Vahiy kitobining o‘n ikkinchi va o‘n uchinchi boblarida zikr etilgan dushmanning ikkinchi yerdagi qudrati — dengizdan chiqadigan hayvondir; Opa-singil Uayt uni to‘g‘ridan-to‘g‘ri katolitsizm deb belgilaydi.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:1–3.
Va men dengiz qumi ustida turdim va dengizdan chiqib kelayotgan bir hayvonni ko‘rdim; uning yetti boshi va o‘n shoxi bor edi, shoxlari ustida o‘nta toj, boshlarida esa kufr nomi bor edi. Men ko‘rgan hayvon qoplonga o‘xshar edi, oyoqlari ayiqning oyoqlari kabi, og‘zi esa arslonning og‘zi kabi edi; ajdaho unga o‘z qudratini, taxtini va buyuk hokimiyatini berdi. Va men uning boshlaridan birini go‘yo o‘lim darajasida yaralangan holda ko‘rdim; ammo uning o‘limli yarasi tuzaldi. Va butun dunyo hayvonning ortidan hayrat bilan ergashdi. Vahiy 13:1–3.
John was standing on the seashore in verse one, and he sees a beast rise from the sea, and thereafter, he sees a beast coming up out of the earth. Sister White identifies that the time in which John saw the two beasts was 1798, for that was the year the papacy was “robbed of its strength,” thus receiving a deadly wound that would ultimately be healed.
Yuhanno birinchi oyatda dengiz qirg‘og‘ida turar edi va u dengizdan chiqib kelayotgan bir mahluqni ko‘radi; shundan so‘ng esa u yerdan chiqib kelayotgan yana bir mahluqni ko‘radi. Opa Uayt Yuhanno bu ikki mahluqni ko‘rgan vaqt 1798 yil bo‘lganini ta’kidlaydi, chunki aynan o‘sha yili papalik “o‘z qudratidan mahrum qilindi”; shu tariqa u oxir-oqibat shifo topadigan o‘limli yara oldi.
“At the time when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, is represented by a beast with lamblike horns. The beasts preceding it had risen from the sea; but this came up out of the earth, representing the peaceful rise of the nation which it symbolized—the United States.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.
“Papalik o‘z qudratidan mahrum etilib, ta’qibni to‘xtatishga majbur bo‘lgan davrda, Yuhanno ajdarhoning ovoziga sado berib, xuddi o‘sha shafqatsiz va kufrona ishni davom ettirish uchun ko‘tarilib kelayotgan yangi bir hokimiyatni ko‘rdi. Jamoatga va Xudoning qonuniga qarshi urush olib boradigan so‘nggi hokimiyat bo‘lmish bu kuch qo‘zichoqnikiga o‘xshash shoxlari bor bir mahluq orqali ifodalanadi. Undan oldingi mahluqlar dengizdan ko‘tarilib chiqqan edi; ammo bu mahluq yerdan ko‘tarilib chiqdi, bu esa u timsol qilgan xalqning — Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining — tinch yo‘l bilan yuksalganini bildiradi.” Signs of the Times, February 8, 1910.
John is looking backward into history when he sees the sea beast, which is the papacy. Looking forward in history, he sees the earth beast, which is the United States. This is why the beast from the sea is prophetically constructed as it is. Looking back from 1798, John first sees “seven heads and ten horns,” marking the point in history that three of the horns were plucked up to make room for the stout horn of the papacy, which spake great things.
Yuhanno dengizdan chiqqan yirtqich hayvonni — papalikni — ko‘rganida, tarixga orqaga qaramoqda. Tarixga oldinga qaraganida esa, u yer yuzidan chiqqan yirtqich hayvonni — Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarini — ko‘radi. Shu sababli dengizdan chiqqan yirtqich hayvon bashoratda aynan shunday tarzda tasvirlangan. 1798-yildan orqaga qarab, Yuhanno avval “yetti bosh va o‘n shox”ni ko‘radi; bu tarixdagi shunday nuqtani belgilaydiki, unda papalikning katta-katta so‘zlar aytgan qudratli shoxi uchun joy ochish maqsadida shoxlardan uchtasi yulib tashlangan edi.
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:19, 20.
Shunda men boshqalarining barchasidan farq qiluvchi, haddan tashqari dahshatli bo‘lgan to‘rtinchi hayvonning haqiqatini bilishni istadim; uning tishlari temirdan, tirnoqlari esa bronzadan edi; u yeb yuborar, bo‘lak-bo‘lak qilar va qoldig‘ini oyoqlari bilan bosib-toptar edi; Shuningdek, uning boshida bo‘lgan o‘n shox haqida ham, va ko‘tarilib chiqqan boshqa shox haqida ham, uning oldidan uchtasi yiqilgan edi; ya’ni ko‘zlari bo‘lgan va juda ulug‘vor narsalarni gapiradigan og‘zi bor, ko‘rinishi esa o‘z sheriklarinikidan ham salobatliroq bo‘lgan o‘sha shox haqida. Daniel 7:19, 20.
Before those three horns of the Heruli, Ostrogoths and Vandals were removed, pagan Rome was represented by “ten crowns.” Those ten crowns represent pagan Rome. Then John identifies the leopard of Greece, then the bear of Medo-Persia and then the lion of Babylon.
Gerullar, Ostrogotlar va Vandallar bo‘lgan o‘sha uch shox olib tashlanishidan oldin, butparast Rim “o‘nta toj” bilan ifodalangan edi. O‘sha o‘nta toj butparast Rimni anglatadi. So‘ng Yuhanno Yunonistonning qoplonini, keyin Midiya-Forsning ayig‘ini, so‘ng esa Bobilning arslonini ko‘rsatadi.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Daniel 7:4–6.
Birinchisi sherga o‘xshar edi va burgutning qanotlariga ega edi; men uning qanotlari yulib tashlanguncha kuzatdim; so‘ng u yerdan ko‘tarildi, insonga o‘xshab oyoqlari ustida turg‘izildi va unga inson yuragi berildi. Va mana, boshqa bir hayvon, ikkinchisi, ayiqga o‘xshar edi; u bir yonboshiga ko‘tarildi, og‘zida, tishlari orasida uchta qovurg‘a bor edi; va unga shunday dedilar: Tur, ko‘p go‘shtni yeb bitir. Shundan keyin men ko‘rdim, va mana, yana boshqasi, qoplonga o‘xshar edi; uning orqasida qushning to‘rtta qanoti bor edi; bu hayvonning yana to‘rtta boshi ham bor edi; va unga hukmronlik berildi. Doniyor 7:4–6.
There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian, and the sea beast represents the combination of all the previous pagan kingdoms of Bible prophecy. The sea beast is represented in reverse historical order, for John is looking back into history. He first saw the power that was established when the three horns were removed—the papacy. Then he saw ten horns with ten crowns—pagan Rome. Then he saw the leopard—Greece. Then he saw the bear—Medo-Persia. Then he saw the lion—Babylon. The description of the sea beast consists of elements of each of the preceding pagan kingdoms, and the description establishes that the papacy is a conglomeration of every form of paganism that has existed in biblical history. There is not one element of Catholicism that is Christian. Anything that might appear as Christian in Catholicism is a counterfeit.
Katolitsizmning birorta unsuri ham xristianiy emas, va dengizdan chiqqan mahluq Muqaddas Kitob bashoratidagi undan oldingi barcha majusiy shohliklarning birikmasini ifodalaydi. Dengiz mahluqi teskari tarixiy tartibda tasvirlangan, chunki Yuhanno tarixga ortga qarab nazar tashlamoqda. U avval uchta shox olib tashlanganda o‘rnatilgan hokimiyatni — papalikni — ko‘rdi. So‘ng u o‘nta tojga ega o‘nta shoxni — majusiy Rimni — ko‘rdi. Keyin u qoplonni — Yunonistonni — ko‘rdi. So‘ng u ayiqni — Midiya-Forsiyani — ko‘rdi. Keyin u sherni — Bobilni — ko‘rdi. Dengiz mahluqining tavsifi undan oldingi majusiy shohliklarning har biridan olingan unsurlardan iborat bo‘lib, bu tavsif papalik Muqaddas Kitob tarixida mavjud bo‘lgan butun majusiylikning barcha shakllari qorishmasi ekanini ko‘rsatadi. Katolitsizmning birorta unsuri ham xristianiy emas. Katolitsizmda xristianiy bo‘lib ko‘rinishi mumkin bo‘lgan har qanday narsa qalbakidir.
At Mount Carmel, when Elijah did battle with Jezebel’s prophets and her apostate husband, Jezebel was back home in Samaria. The whore of Tyre is forgotten during the history of the earth beast with two horns. Jezebel is always hidden away, and in Revelation chapters twelve and thirteen the world wonders after her, but she is not portrayed as a marvel that is wondered after in the heavens, as is the United Nations, the United States and Satan. She is back in her command center of Samaria—the city of Rome.
Karmel tog‘ida, Ilyos Izabelning payg‘ambarlari va uning murtad eri bilan jang qilganida, Izabel Samariyada, o‘z uyida edi. Tirning fahshasi ikki shoxli yer maxluqi tarixida esdan chiqariladi. Izabel har doim yashirin tutiladi, va Vahiyning o‘n ikkinchi hamda o‘n uchinchi boblarida dunyo uning ortidan hayrat bilan ergashadi, ammo u, Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkiloti, Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari va Shayton singari, osmonlarda hayrat bilan qaraladigan mo‘jiza sifatida tasvirlanmaydi. U o‘zining boshqaruv markazi bo‘lgan Samariyada — Rim shahrida — qaytib turibdi.
The history of the earth beast is where the test of the image of the beast for the whole world is identified. That test takes place during the warfare of the first heaven. This is what we wish to consider at this point. I will substitute the United States for the word “he” in the verses we are now going to consider.
Yer hayvoni tarixida butun dunyo uchun hayvonning surati sinovi aniqlab ko‘rsatiladi. O‘sha sinov birinchi osmonning urushi davomida sodir bo‘ladi. Ayni paytda biz ko‘rib chiqmoqchi bo‘lgan narsa shu. Endi ko‘rib chiqadigan oyatlarda men “u” so‘zi o‘rniga Qo‘shma Shtatlarni qo‘yaman.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and the United States had two horns like a lamb, and the United States spake as a dragon. And the United States exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And the United States doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which the United States had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And the [United States] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And the United States causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:11–17.
Va men yer yuzidan chiqib kelayotgan yana bir mahluqni ko‘rdim; va Qo‘shma Shtatlar qo‘zichoqnikidek ikki shoxga ega edi, va Qo‘shma Shtatlar ajdahodek so‘zladi. Va Qo‘shma Shtatlar uning huzurida birinchi mahluqning butun hokimiyatini amalga oshiradi hamda yer yuzini va unda yashovchilarni o‘limli yarasi tuzalgan birinchi mahluqqa sajda qilishga majbur etadi. Va Qo‘shma Shtatlar buyuk mo‘jizalar ko‘rsatadi, hatto odamlar ko‘z o‘ngida osmondan yerga olov tushiradi, Va Qo‘shma Shtatlar mahluq huzurida ko‘rsatishga qudrati bo‘lgan o‘sha mo‘jizalar vositasida yer yuzida yashovchilarni aldab, yerda yashovchilarga qilich yarasini olgan, ammo tirik qolgan mahluq uchun bir surat yasashlarini aytadi. Va [Qo‘shma Shtatlar] mahluqning suratiga jon bag‘ishlash qudratiga ega edi, toki mahluqning surati ham so‘zlasin, ham mahluqning suratiga sajda qilmaydiganlarning barchasi o‘ldirilsin. Va Qo‘shma Shtatlar hammani — kichikni ham, ulug‘ni ham, boyni ham, kambag‘alni ham, ozodni ham, qulni ham — o‘ng qo‘llariga yoki peshonalariga bir tamg‘a olishga majbur etadi; Va hech kim sotib ham ololmasin, sota ham ololmasin, faqat tamg‘aga, yoki mahluqning nomiga, yoki uning nomining soniga ega bo‘lgan kishi bundan mustasno. Vahiy 13:11–17.
In Revelation chapter thirteen, the dragon of pagan Rome gave the papacy three things as it placed the papacy on the throne of the earth.
Vahiy kitobining o‘n uchinchi bobida butparast Rimning ajdahosi papalikni yer yuzining taxtiga o‘tqizar ekan, papalikka uch narsani berdi.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 13:2.
Men ko‘rgan mahluq qoplonga o‘xshar edi, uning oyoqlari ayiqning oyoqlaridek, og‘zi esa arslonning og‘zidek edi; va ajdarho unga o‘z qudratini, taxtini va buyuk hokimiyatini berdi. Vahiy 13:2.
The ten kings who represent pagan Rome (France being the premier king of the ten as represented by Ahab) gave the papacy three things: power, seat and authority. When the emperor Constantine moved the capital from the city of Rome in the west, unto the east and made Constantinople the new capital of the Roman Empire in the year 330, pagan Rome then gave the church of Rome its “seat.”
Butparast Rimni ifoda etuvchi o‘nta shoh (ulardan Frantsiya, Axab timsolida ko‘rsatilganidek, o‘ntaning bosh shohi bo‘lib) papalikka uch narsani berdi: qudrat, taxt va hokimiyat. Imperator Konstantin milodiy 330-yilda poytaxtni g‘arbdagi Rim shahridan sharqqa ko‘chirib, Konstantinopolni Rim imperiyasining yangi poytaxti qilganida, butparast Rim o‘shanda Rim cherkoviga o‘zining “taxt”ini berdi.
When Clovis, king of the Franks (France), converted to Catholicism and began to war against the powers that had been resisting the rise of the papacy to the throne of the earth in the year 496, pagan Rome then gave the papacy its “power.”
Franklar (Fransiya) qiroli Klovis milodiy 496-yilda katoliklikni qabul qilib, papalikning yer yuzidagi taxtga ko‘tarilishiga qarshilik ko‘rsatib kelgan kuchlarga qarshi urush boshlaganida, butparast Rim o‘shanda papalikka o‘zining “qudrati”ni berdi.
In 533, Justinian made a decree which identified the Roman church as both the head of all churches, and also as the corrector of heretics. At that point, the authority of pagan Rome had been given to the papacy.
533-yilda Yustinian Rim cherkovini barcha cherkovlarning boshlig‘i, shuningdek, bid’atchilarni tuzatuvchi sifatida belgilagan farmon chiqardi. O‘sha paytda butparast Rimning hokimiyati papalikka berilgan edi.
In verse twelve, “the [United States] exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.” The power that was exercised by the papacy is represented by Clovis, who dedicated his military and economic might unto the papacy. This is why Catholicism calls Clovis “the first born of the Catholic church,” and France the “eldest daughter of the Catholic church.” The United States will do the same dirty work for the papacy that Clovis began in 496.
O‘n ikkinchi oyatda: “u [Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari] birinchi hayvonning butun hokimiyatini uning huzurida amalga oshiradi.” Papalik tomonidan amalga oshirilgan hokimiyat papalikka o‘zining harbiy va iqtisodiy qudratini bag‘ishlagan Klovis orqali ifodalanadi. Shu sababli katoliklik Klovisni “Katolik cherkovining to‘ng‘ich o‘g‘li”, Fransiyani esa “Katolik cherkovining eng katta qizi” deb ataydi. Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari 496 yilda Klovis boshlagan o‘sha nopok ishni papalik uchun xuddi shunday bajaradi.
The power of the United States will be employed to cause “the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” The United States will employ its military and economic strength to cause the entire world to accept Sunday as a day of rest. The whore of Tyre will first commit fornication with the earth beast at the soon coming Sunday law, and then she will go forth and commit fornication with all the other kings of the earth.
Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining qudrati “yer yuzini va unda yashovchilarni o‘limli yarasi tuzalgan birinchi hayvonga sajda qildirish” uchun ishga solinadi. Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari o‘zining harbiy va iqtisodiy qudratini butun dunyoni yakshanbani dam olish kuni sifatida qabul qilishga majbur etish uchun qo‘llaydi. Tir fohishasi avvalo yaqin orada chiqadigan yakshanba qonuni chog‘ida yer hayvoni bilan zino qiladi, so‘ngra esa chiqib, yer yuzining boshqa barcha shohlari bilan zino qiladi.
In verse thirteen, “the [United States] doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Fire represents an unholy message. Tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost represented a holy message that was accompanied with the ability to convey that message to the entire world. The fire that is brought down out of heaven by the United States will also impact every nation, and every tongue.
O‘n uchinchi oyatda, “[Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari] buyuk mo‘jizalar ko‘rsatadi, hattoki odamlar ko‘z o‘ngida osmondan yerga olov tushiradi.” Olov nopok xabarni ifodalaydi. Pentikost kunidagi olov tillari muqaddas xabarni ifodalagan bo‘lib, u o‘sha xabarni butun dunyoga yetkazish qobiliyati bilan birga namoyon bo‘lgan edi. Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari osmondan tushiradigan bu olov ham har bir millatga va har bir tilga ta’sir qiladi.
In verse fourteen, the United States deceives “them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which the [United States] had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” The deception that is employed to deceive the world by the United States is represented by the fire that came down from heaven in the previous verse. The fire from heaven produces miracles that are employed by the United States to command the world to establish a one-world government that consists of the combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship.
O‘n to‘rtinchi oyatda, Qo‘shma Shtatlar “yer yuzida yashovchilarni, mahluqning oldida ko‘rsatishga [Qo‘shma Shtatlar] qudrati bo‘lgan o‘sha mo‘jizalar vositasida aldaydi; yer yuzida yashovchilarga, qilich bilan yaralangan, ammo tirik qolgan mahluq uchun bir surat yasashlari kerakligini aytadi.” Dunyo ahlini Qo‘shma Shtatlar orqali aldash uchun qo‘llanilayotgan bu aldov oldingi oyatda osmondan tushgan olov bilan ifodalangan. Osmondan tushgan olov mo‘jizalar hosil qiladi, va shu mo‘jizalar orqali Qo‘shma Shtatlar dunyoga cherkov va davlatning birlashuvidan tashkil topgan, bunda munosabat ustidan cherkov hukmronlik qiladigan, yagona jahon hukumatini o‘rnatishni buyuradi.
This is what the relationship of Ahab and Jezebel represented when Elijah was raised up. Elijah’s battle at Mount Carmel was fulfilled in the beginning of the United States during the movement of the first angel from 1840 to 1844, for the purpose of distinguishing the true prophet of Protestantism from all of the false prophets of Protestantism.
Ilyos ko‘tarilgan paytda Axab va Izabel o‘rtasidagi munosabat ana shuni ifodalagan edi. Karmel tog‘idagi Ilyosning kurashi 1840 yildan 1844 yilgacha bo‘lgan birinchi farishta harakati davrida Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining boshlarida amalga oshdi; buning maqsadi protestantizmning haqiqiy payg‘ambarini protestantizmning barcha soxta payg‘ambarlaridan ajratib ko‘rsatish edi.
It is fulfilled again at the ending of the United States, during the test of the formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, and ends at the soon-coming Sunday law.
Bu yana Qo‘shma Shtatlarining yakunida, 2001-yil 11-sentabrda boshlangan va yaqin orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni bilan nihoyasiga yetadigan hayvonning suratini shakllantirish sinovi davrida ham amalga oshadi.
Elijah’s perfect fulfillment takes place before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, which is the seven last plagues. Therefore, Mount Carmel, Elijah, Ahab and Jezebel are represented in the work of the United States forcing planet earth to accept the one-world government of the United Nations that is ruled over by the Catholic Church. The United States accomplishes this act through its military might, its economic strength and the corrupted hypnotic communications that it directs and controls, represented by what is called the “information super highway” of the worldwide web.
Ilyosning mukammal bajo bo‘lishi Egamizning ulug‘ va dahshatli kuni oldidan sodir bo‘ladi; bu kun — oxirgi yetti balodir. Shuning uchun Karmil tog‘i, Ilyos, Axab va Izabel Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining yer sayyorasini Katolik cherkovi hukmronlik qiladigan Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining yagona jahon hukumatini qabul qilishga majbur etish ishida namoyon bo‘ladi. Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari bu ishni o‘zining harbiy qudrati, iqtisodiy salohiyati hamda o‘zi yo‘naltirib, nazorat qiladigan, butunjahon to‘rining “axborot supermagistrali” deb ataladigan narsa bilan ifodalanuvchi buzuq, gipnotik aloqa vositalari orqali amalga oshiradi.
In verse fifteen, we are informed that “the [United States] had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” The threat of death by the military might of the United States, then representing the premier king of the United Nations, empowers the one-world government of the United Nations to speak. The action of speaking is accomplished through a legislative and judicial authority. The legislative branch of the United Nations is in New York and the judicial branch of the United Nations is in The Hague, Netherlands. The Hague represents the Old World and New York the New World. Both the United States and the Netherlands have past histories where they stood out as premier defenders of liberty and freedom, but both end their respective histories—speaking as a dragon.
O‘n beshinchi oyatda bizga shunday ma’lum qilinadi: “u [Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari] hayvonning suratiga jon ato etishga qudratga ega ediki, hayvonning surati ham gapirsin, ham hayvonning suratiga sajda qilmaydiganlarning barchasi o‘ldirilsin.” Demak, o‘sha paytda Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining bosh podshohini ifodalagan Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining harbiy qudrati orqali o‘lim tahdidi Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining bir dunyo hukumatiga gapirish vakolatini beradi. Gapirish harakati qonunchilik va sud hokimiyati orqali amalga oshiriladi. Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining qonunchilik tarmog‘i Nyu-Yorkda, sud tarmog‘i esa Niderlandiyaning Gaaga shahridadir. Gaaga Eski Dunyoni, Nyu-York esa Yangi Dunyoni ifodalaydi. Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari ham, Niderlandiya ham o‘tmishda erkinlik va ozodlikning bosh himoyachilari sifatida ajralib turgan tarixga ega, biroq har ikkisi ham o‘z tarixlarini — ajdaho kabi gapirgan holda — yakunlaydi.
“As the Sabbath has become the special point of controversy throughout Christendom, and religious and secular authorities have combined to enforce the observance of the Sunday, the persistent refusal of a small minority to yield to the popular demand will make them objects of universal execration. . .. and a decree will finally be issued against those who hallow the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, denouncing them as deserving of the severest punishment and giving the people liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death. Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.
“Shanba kuni butun xristian olamida bahs-munozaraning alohida markaziy nuqtasiga aylanganidek, diniy va dunyoviy hokimiyatlar yakshanbaga rioya etishni majburan ta’minlash uchun birlashganlari bois, ozchilikni tashkil etuvchi bir guruhning ommabop talabga bo‘ysunishni qat’iy rad etishi ularni umumiy nafrat va la’nat ob’ektiga aylantiradi.... va nihoyat to‘rtinchi amrning Shanbasini muqaddas tutuvchilarga qarshi farmon chiqarilib, ular eng og‘ir jazoga loyiq, deb qoralab e’lon qilinadi hamda ma’lum bir muddat o‘tgach, xalqga ularni o‘ldirish erki beriladi. Eski Dunyodagi Rimchilik va Yangi Dunyodagi murtad Protestantizm ilohiy amrlarning barchasini hurmat qiluvchilarga nisbatan xuddi shunday yo‘l tutadi.
“The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress described by the prophet as the time of Jacob’s trouble.” The Great Controversy, 615, 616.
“Shunda Xudoning xalqi payg‘ambar Yoqubning tanglik vaqti deb tasvirlagan o‘sha azob-uqubat va musibat manzaralariga g‘arq bo‘ladi.” Buyuk Kurash, 615, 616.
In verse sixteen and seventeen, after the image of the beast has been set up and empowered to speak, the “[United States] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
O‘n oltinchi va o‘n yettinchi oyatlarda, hayvonning surati o‘rnatilib, unga so‘zlash qudrati berilganidan so‘ng, “[Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari] kichikni ham, kattani ham, boyni ham, kambag‘alni ham, ozodni ham, quluni ham o‘ng qo‘llariga yoki peshonalariga bir tamg‘a olishga majbur qiladi: Va hech kim hayvonning tamg‘asiga, yoki uning nomiga, yoki uning nomining soniga ega bo‘lmasa, na sotib ola bilsin, na sota bilsin.”
The formation of the image of the beast is the test that precedes the test of the mark of the beast. If we do not pass the test that is represented by the formation of the image of the beast, we will fail the test of the mark of the beast. They are two different tests, and they are two different types of tests.
Hayvon suratining shakllanishi hayvon tamg‘asi sinovidan oldin keladigan sinovdir. Agar biz hayvon suratining shakllanishi bilan ifodalangan sinovdan o‘ta olmasak, hayvon tamg‘asi sinovidan ham yiqilamiz. Ular ikki xil sinovdir va sinovning ikki xil turidir.
The formation of the image of the beast that began on September 11, 2001, is the prophetic warning that the close of probation is about to take place. It is the Elijah message that identifies that Mount Carmel is on the near horizon, and that God’s people need to secure the oil of character, the oil of the Holy Spirit and the oil of the message of the Midnight Cry before the final call is made. They need to awaken, so that when Elijah asks them, “How long halt ye between two opinions?”—they will not be speechless, for to be speechless then is to receive the mark of the beast. The image of the beast test represents the work of understanding the message that announces the close of the judgment, just as the message of the Millerites announced the opening of the judgment.
2001-yil 11-sentabrda boshlangan hayvon suratining shakllanishi sinov muddatining yopilishi yaqinlashib qolganini bildiruvchi bashoratli ogohlantirishdir. Bu, Karmel tog‘i yaqin ufqda ekanini va Xudoning xalqi so‘nggi da’vat berilishidan oldin fe’l-atvor moyini, Muqaddas Ruh moyini hamda Yarim Tungi Nido xabarining moyini ta’minlab olishi kerakligini ko‘rsatadigan Ilyos xabaridir. Ular uyg‘onishlari kerak, toki Ilyos ulardan: “Qachongacha ikki fikr orasida oqsoqlanib yurasizlar?” — deb so‘raganida, ular so‘zsiz qolmasinlar; chunki o‘sha paytda so‘zsiz qolish hayvonning tamg‘asini qabul qilish demakdir. Hayvon surati sinovi, xuddi Milleritlar xabari hukmning ochilishini e’lon qilganidek, hukmning yopilishini e’lon qiladigan xabarni anglash ishini ifodalaydi.
The mark of the beast test, involves no choice, for it contains no element of probationary time. It is a point in time, not a period of time. It is a crisis, and therefore it is a litmus test that will identify the character of those Israelites that have been summoned to Mount Carmel by Ahab at the Sunday law. They will then demonstrate the character that they have developed during the previous period of time, prophetically called the image of the beast test.
Yirtqichning tamg‘asi sinovi hech qanday tanlovni o‘z ichiga olmaydi, chunki unda sinov muddati unsuri yo‘q. U bir vaqt nuqtasidir, vaqt davri emas. U inqirozdir, va shuning uchun u Yakshanba qonuni vaqtida Axab tomonidan Karmil tog‘iga chaqirilgan o‘sha isroilliklarning xarakterini aniqlab beradigan lakmus sinovidir. Shunda ular bundan oldingi vaqt davrida, bashoratda yirtqichning surati sinovi deb atalgan davr mobaynida rivojlantirgan xarakterini namoyon etadilar.
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:7–15.
Shuning uchun (Muqaddas Ruh aytganidek: “Bugun, agar Uning ovozini eshitsangiz, sahrodagi sinov kunida, g‘azablantirish paytidagidek, yuraklaringizni qattiq qilmanglar. Ota-bobolaringiz Meni sinab ko‘rdilar, Meni tajriba qildilar va qirq yil davomida Mening ishlarimni ko‘rdilar. Shuning uchun Men o‘sha avloddan g‘azablandim va dedim: Ular yuraklarida hamisha adashadilar, Mening yo‘llarimni esa bilmadilar. Shunday qilib Men O‘z g‘azabimda qasam ichdim: Ular Mening oromimga kirmaydilar.”) Ehtiyot bo‘linglar, birodarlar, oralaringizdan birortangizda tirik Xudodan yuz o‘girishga olib boradigan yovuz imonsizlik yuragi topilmasin. Aksincha, “Bugun” deb atalgan fursat bor ekan, har kuni bir-biringizga nasihat qilinglar, toki sizlardan birortangiz gunohning aldovi bilan qotib qolmasin. Chunki agar ishonchimizning boshlanishini oxirigacha sobit saqlasak, Masihning sheriklari bo‘lganmiz; zero aytilgan: “Bugun, agar Uning ovozini eshitsangiz, g‘azablantirish paytidagidek, yuraklaringizni qattiq qilmanglar.” Ibroniylarga 3:7–15.
