When the parable of the ten virgins was fulfilled in Millerite history it took place during the second angel’s message. The second angel’s message represents two distinct messages, both in the period of time which they cover and in terms of the intended audience of the message. The second angel’s message was directed to the Protestant churches that had just returned to Rome and became daughters of Babylon. The Midnight Cry was directed to the sleeping Millerites. The first message was directed outside of the Millerites, the second was directed inside. This will be fulfilled to the letter in our day.

On gyzyň tymsaly Milleritleriň taryhynda amala aşanda, bu ikinji perişdäniň habarynyň döwründe bolup geçdi. Ikinji perişdäniň habary iki aýratyn habary aňladýar; bu hem olaryň gurşap alýan wagt döwri taýdan, hem-de habaryň niýetlenen diňleýji toplumy babatda şeýle. Ikinji perişdäniň habary ýaňy ýene-de Rime dolanyp, Wawilonyň gyzlary bolan protestant ybadathanalaryna gönükdirilipdi. Gije ýarymky gykylyk bolsa ukuda ýatan Milleritlere gönükdirilipdi. Birinji habar Milleritleriň daşyna gönükdirilipdi, ikinjisi bolsa olaryň içine gönükdirilipdi. Bu biziň günlerimizde sözüň doly manysynda amala aşar.

The difference that needs to be noted in the repetition of our day is that in the beginning of Adventism the message of the second angel first went outside the Millerites and then part two of the message went inside the Millerites. At the end of Adventism, when the parable is again repeated, so also is the second angel’s message. We are told that directly more than a handful of times. But the two-fold nature of the message is reversed at the end. The first message goes to Adventism and the second to those outside of Adventism. We are told that the work and message represented by the angel of Revelation eighteen is a repetition of the second angel’s message.

Günümizde gaýtalanýan wakada üns berilmeli tapawut şudur: Adventizmiň başlangyjynda ikinji perişdäniň habary ilki Milleritleriň daşyna gitdi, soňra habaryň ikinji bölegi Milleritleriň içine girdi. Adventizmiň ahyrynda, tymsal ýene-de gaýtalananda, ikinji perişdäniň habary hem şonuň ýaly gaýtalanýar. Muny bize gönüden-göni sanardan köp gezek aýdylýar. Emma habaryň iki bölekli häsiýeti ahyrda tersine öwrülýär. Birinji habar Adventizme gidýär, ikinjisi bolsa Adventizmiň daşyndakylara. Bize Ylham on sekizdäki perişde bilen görkezilen işiň we habaryň ikinji perişdäniň habarynyň gaýtalanmasydygy aýdylýar.

> “The prophet says, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils’ (Revelation 18:1, 2). This is the same message that was given by the second angel. Babylon is fallen, ‘because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication’ (Revelation 14:8). What is that wine?—Her false doctrines. She has given to the world a false sabbath instead of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and has repeated the falsehood that Satan first told Eve in Eden—the natural immortality of the soul. Many kindred errors she has spread far and wide, ‘teaching for doctrines the commandments of men’ (Matthew 15:9).

> Pygamber şeýle diýýär: «Men asmandan inýän başga bir perişdäni gördüm; onuň beýik gudraty bardy, ýer onuň şöhraty bilen ýagtyldy. Ol güýçli ses bilen batly gygyrdy we şeýle diýdi: Beýik Wawilon ýykyldy, ýykyldy, we ol jynlaryň mekanyna öwrüldi» (Ylham 18:1, 2). Bu ikinji perişde tarapyndan berlen şol bir habardyr. Wawilon ýykyldy, «çünki ol ähli milletlere öz zinasynyň gazabynyň şerabyny içirdi» (Ylham 14:8). Ol şerap näme? — Onuň ýalan taglymatlarydyr. Ol dünýä dördünji tabşyrygyň Şenbe güniniň ýerine ýalan bir sabat berdi, hem-de Şeýtanyň ilkibaşda Edende How ene aýdyp beren ýalan sözününi — janyň tebigy ölmezligini — gaýtalady. Ol muňa meňzeş köp ýalňyşlyklary giňden ýaýratdy, «adam buýruklaryny taglymat hökmünde öwredip» (Matta 15:9).

> “When Jesus began His public ministry, He cleansed the Temple from its sacrilegious profanation. Among the last acts of His ministry was the second cleansing of the Temple. So in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. The second angel’s message is, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication’ (Revelation 14:8). And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities’ (Revelation 18:4, 5).” Selected Messages, book 2, 118.

> Isa Öz jemgyýetçilik gullugyna başlanda, ybadathanany onuň mukaddeslige garşy edilen haramlanyşyndan arassalady. Onuň gullugynyň iň soňky amallarynyň arasynda ybadathananyň ikinji gezek arassalanyşy hem bardy. Şonuň ýaly-da, dünýäni duýdurmak üçin alnyp barylýan iň soňky işde ybadathanalara iki aýratyn çagyryş edilýär. Ikinji perişdäniň habary şeýle: “Beýik şäher bolan Babil ýykyldy, ýykyldy; çünki ol ähli halklara öz zynasynyň gazaply şerabyny içirdi” (Ylham 14:8). Üçünji perişdäniň habarynyň güýçli nidasynda bolsa gökden bir ses şeýle diýýär: “Eý, Meniň halkym, onuň içinden çykyň, onuň günälerine şärik bolmazyňyz ýaly hem-de onuň belalaryndan almanyňyz ýaly. Çünki onuň günäleri asmana çenli ýetdi, Hudaý hem onuň bidüzgünçiliklerini ýatlady” (Ylham 18:4, 5). Saýlanan Habarlary, 2-nji kitap, 118.

The message of the second angel at the beginning of Adventism is the same message as the message represented by the angel of Revelation eighteen, and in that warning, there are two voices that proclaim a message. The first voice is proclaimed when the earth is lightened by his glory and in verse four John heard another voice saying, “come out of her.”

Adwentizmiň başlangyjyndaky ikinji perişdäniň habary, Ylham kitabyň on sekizinji babyndaky perişde tarapyndan şekillendirilen habar bilen şol bir habardyr, we şol duýduryşda habary yglan edýän iki ses bardyr. Birinji ses, ýer onuň şöhraty bilen ýagtylandyrylanda yglan edilýär, dördünji aýatda bolsa Ýahýa başga bir sesiň: “ondan çykyň” diýýändigini eşitdi.

In Millerite history the call out of Babylon came first and the message to the Millerites came second. In Revelation eighteen it is the second voice, or second message that addresses those outside of Adventism. Along with the declaration that there are “two distinct calls made to the churches” we find that the two times Christ cleansed the temple (at the beginning and ending of His ministry) is also an illustration of the beginning and ending of Adventism.

Millerit taryhynda Babildan çykmak baradaky çagyryş ilki geldi, Milleritlere berlen habar bolsa ikinji geldi. Ylhamyň on sekizinji babynda Adventizmden daşardakylara ýüzlenýän ses, ýa-da habar, ikinji sesdir. «Ybadathanalara edilen iki aýratyn çagyryş bar» diýen beýannama bilen birlikde, Mesihiň ybadathanany iki gezek arassalamagy hem (hyzmatynyň başynda we ahyrynda) Adventizmiň başlangyjynyň we ahyrynyň bir şekillendirmesidigini görýäris.

The beginning of Adventism illustrated a purification of the workers that helped in building the foundation that William Miller was used to establish. The foundation was completed at the conclusion of the second angel’s message, for with the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844 the truths that make up the foundations of Adventism were made available to understand, for those who are willing to hear.

Adwentizmiň başlangyjy, William Milleriň gurmaga ulanylan binýadyň gurulmagyna ýardam eden işgärleriň arassalanmagyny aýdyň görkezdi. Bu binýat ikinji perişdäniň habarynyň tamamlanmagy bilen doly gutardy; çünki 1844-nji ýylyň 22-nji oktýabrynda üçünji perişdäniň gelmegi bilen, diňlemäge taýýar bolanlar üçin, Adwentizmiň binýadyny emele getirýän hakykatlar düşünilmäge elýeterli edildi.

The work of building the foundation concluded at the climax of the history of the second angel, when “two distinct calls were made to the churches.” The first call was outside the Millerites, the second was for the Millerites. But another beginning that aligns with Adventism’s beginning is the ministry of Christ when He cleansed His temple the first time. The prophetic illustration of the temple being cleansed is marking a purification at the beginning and end of His ministry, that in turn typifies a purification of Adventism at its beginning and ending. Christ’s two temple cleansings align with the beginning and ending of Adventism, but His message was just for His covenant people who were in the process of forever divorcing themselves from God.

Binýady gurmak işi ikinji perişdäniň taryhynyň iň ýokary nokadynda, ýagny “ybadathanalara iki aýratyn çagyryş edilende” tamamlandy. Birinji çagyryş Milleritleriň daşyndakylara edildi, ikinjisi bolsa Milleritler üçindi. Emma Adventizmiň başlangyjy bilen gabat gelýän başga bir başlangyç hem bar: ol Mesihiň Öz ybadathanasyny ilkinji gezek päklän wagtyndaky gullugydyr. Ybadathananyň päklendirilmeginiň pygamberlik şekillendirişi Onuň gullugynyň başynda we ahyrynda bolup geçýän bir tämizlenmäni görkezýär; bu bolsa öz gezeginde Adventizmiň başynda we ahyrynda bolup geçýän bir päklenmäniň nusgasydyr. Mesihiň ybadathanany iki gezek päklemegi Adventizmiň başlangyjy we soňy bilen gabat gelýär, emma Onuň habary diňe Hudaýdan özlerini baky aýyrmagyň ýolunda bolan äht halky üçindi.

The beginning of Adventism presented a message announcing the opening of the judgment and the end of Adventism is announcing the end of judgment. Jesus cleansed the temple the first time and rebuked the Jews for turning His house into a den of thieves, but the second cleansing of the temple was “among the last acts of His ministry.” At the end of His ministry, He no longer told the Jews that they had made His Father’s house a den of thieves, he then told them that their house “was left to them desolate.”

Adwentizmiň başlangyjy höküm işiniň açylyşyny yglan eden habary öňe sürdi, Adwentizmiň soňy bolsa höküm işiniň tamamlanýandygyny yglan edýär. Isa ilkinji gezek ybadathanany tämizläp, Ýewudileri Onuň öýüni garakçylaryň hinine öwrenleri üçin ýazgardy; emma ybadathananyň ikinji gezek tämizlenmegi “Onuň gullugynyň iň soňky hereketleriniň arasynda” boldy. Gullugynyň ahyrynda Ol indi Ýewudilere Atasynyň öýüni garakçylaryň hinine öwrenlerini aýtmady; şondan soň Ol olara olaryň öýüniň “olara weýran halda galdyrylandygyny” aýtdy.

> “Meanwhile worshipers from every nation sought the temple which had been dedicated to the worship of God. Glittering with gold and precious stones, it was a vision of beauty and grandeur. But Jehovah was no longer to be found in that palace of loveliness. Israel as a nation had divorced herself from God. When Christ, near the close of His earthly ministry, looked for the last time upon the interior of the temple, He said, ‘Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.’ Matthew 23:38. Hitherto He had called the temple His Father’s house; but as the Son of God passed out from those walls, God’s presence was withdrawn forever from the temple built to His glory.” Acts of the Apostles, 145.

> Şol aralykda her halkdan gelen ybadatçylar, Hudaýa ybadat etmek üçin bagyşlanylan ybadathanany gözleýärdiler. Altyn we gymmatbaha daşlar bilen lowurdap duran bu bina gözelligiň we beýikligiň bir görnüşidi. Emma Ýehowa indi ol gözel köşkde tapylmaýardy. Ysraýyl halk hökmünde özüni Hudaýdan aýrypdy. Mesih ýer ýüzündäki gullugynyň ahyryna golaýlap, ybadathananyň içki bölegine soňky gezek nazar salanda, şeýle diýdi: «Ine, öýüňiz size haraba ýagdaýda galdyryldy». Matta 23:38. Şo wagta çenli Ol ybadathanany Atasynyň öýi diýip atlandyrýardy; ýöne Hudaýyň Ogly şol diwarlaryň arasyndan çykyp gidende, Onuň şöhraty üçin gurlan ybadathanadan Hudaýyň huzury ebedilik çekilip alyndy.” Resullaryň Işleri, 145.

The temple He cleansed at the beginning was a different temple than what He cleansed at the end. The first temple was His Father’s house, but the second temple was the Jew’s house. The Lord entered into covenant with Adventism at the beginning and Adventists became priests in His temple. At the end of Adventism, they are to be no more priests, and their house will be desolated.

Başlangyçda Onuň päkizen eden ybadathanasy ahyrda päkizen eden ybadathanasyndan başga bir ybadathana idi. Birinji ybadathana Onuň Atasynyň öýüdi, emma ikinji ybadathana ýahudylaryň öýüdi. Reb başda Adventizm bilen äht baglaşdy we adventistler Onuň ybadathanasynda ruhanylar boldular. Adventizmiň ahyrynda bolsa, olar indi ruhany bolmaly däldirler, hem-de olaryň öýi haraba öwrüler.

The second angel represents two messages. This is one reason the message is represented as Babylon falling twice. This is not the primary reason for the twice repeated announcement of Babylon’s fall, but is one reason. How is it two messages?

Ikinji perişde iki habary aňladýar. Habaryň Wawilonyň iki gezek ýykylmagy hökmünde beýan edilmeginiň sebäpleriniň biri hem şudur. Bu Wawilonyň ýykylşy baradaky iki gezek gaýtalanýan yglanyň esasy sebäbi däldir, ýöne sebäpleriniň biridir. Ol nähili edip iki habar bolýar?

The second angel arrived in response to the rejection of the first angel’s message. When the failed prediction, identifying 1843 as the conclusion of the 2300-year prophecy, the Protestant churches used the erroneous message to reject Miller’s message. Miller’s message was the first angel’s message. At its rejection the Protestant churches, who had been God’s church in the wilderness for over 1260 years, were rejected and became a daughter of Babylon. At that point the second angel arrived with his message.

Ikinji perişde birinji perişdäniň habarynyň ret edilmegine jogap hökmünde geldi. 1843-nji ýyly 2300 ýyllyk pygamberligiň tamamlanýan wagty hökmünde kesgitlän başa barmadyk çaklama sebäpli protestant ybadathanalary şol ýalňyş habary ulanyp, Milleriň habaryny ret etdiler. Milleriň habary birinji perişdäniň habarydy. Ol ret edilende, 1260 ýyldan gowrak wagtlap çölde Hudaýyň ybadathanasy bolup gelen protestant ybadathanalary ret edildi we Babylonyň gyzyna öwrüldi. Şol pursatda ikinji perişde öz habary bilen geldi.

There are some very important points involved with the various elements of this history we are considering. There is at least one point that must be developed slowly for it definitely contributes to the understanding of the message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ that is currently being unsealed. For this reason, I am including a very important passage about that history. It is two chapters that I am pointing to, but there is also a third important chapter in the middle of those two chapters. I am not including this at this time in order to limit the scope of our consideration.

Biz gözden geçirýän bu taryhyň dürli bölekleri bilen bagly juda möhüm birnäçe nokat bar. Şolardan iň bolmanda bir nokat haýal-haýal açylyp görkezilmelidir, sebäbi ol häzir açylyp berilýän Isa Mesihiň Ylhamynyň habaryna düşünmäge gürrüňsiz goşant goşýar. Şonuň üçin men şol taryh barada örän möhüm bir parçany goşýaryn. Men görkezýän ýerim iki bapdyr, ýöne şol iki babyň arasynda üçünji bir möhüm bap hem bardyr. Seredişimiziň gerimini çäklendirmek üçin, häzirlikçe ony goşmaýaryn.

Notice which angel is being addressed as you read through, look for the progressive testing process, note in the first paragraph that the prophetic characteristics of the angel of Revelation eighteen are also the characteristics of the first angel. Notice that to crucify one of the messages is to crucify Christ, and notice that the three angels are all presented as single angels, but the Midnight Cry message is a multitude of angels.

Okap barşyňyzda haýsy perişdä ýüzlenilýändigine üns beriň; barha öňe gidýän synag etme işine serediň; birinji abzasda Ylham kitabyndaky on sekizinji bapdaky perişdäniň pygamberlik aýratynlyklarynyň birinji perişdäniň hem aýratynlyklarydygyny belläp geçiň. Habarlaryň birini haça çüýlemek — Mesihi haça çüýlemekdigine üns beriň; şeýle hem, üç perişdäniň hemmesiniň ýekeje perişde hökmünde görkezilýändigine, emma Ýarygije Çagyryşy habarynyň bolsa perişdeleriň köpçüligi hökmünde berilýändigine üns beriň.

> “I was shown the interest which all heaven had taken in the work which had been going on upon the earth. Jesus commissioned a strong and mighty angel to descend and warn the inhabitants of earth to get ready for his second appearing. I saw the mighty angel leave the presence of Jesus in heaven. Before him went an exceedingly bright and glorious light. I was told that his mission was to lighten the earth with his glory, and warn man of the coming wrath of God. Multitudes received the light. Some seemed to be very solemn, while others were joyful and enraptured. The light was shed upon all, but some merely came under the influence of the light, and did not heartily receive it. But all who received it, turned their faces upward to heaven, and glorified God. Many were filled with great wrath. Ministers and people united with the vile, and stoutly resisted the light shed by the mighty angel. But all who received it withdrew from the world, and were closely united together.

> Maňa ýerde alnyp barylýan işe ähli asmanyň nähili gyzyklanma bilen garandygy görkezildi. Isa güýçli hem gudratly bir perişdäni ýere inip, ýer ýüzünde ýaşaýanlary Onuň ikinji gezek gelmegine taýyn bolmaga duýdurmak üçin ygtyýar berdi. Men şol gudratly perişdäniň asmanda Isanyň huzuryndan çykyp gidendigini gördüm. Onuň öňünden örän ýagty we şöhratly bir nur gidýärdi. Maňa onuň wezipesiniň ýeri Öz şöhraty bilen ýagtyltmakdan we adamlary Hudaýyň geljek gazaby barada duýdurmakdan ybaratdygy aýdyldy. Köp sanly adamlar şol nury kabul etdiler. Käbirleri juda çynlakaý ýaly görünýärdi, beýlekileri bolsa şatlykdan doly we joşa gelipdi. Nur hemmelere saçyldy, ýöne käbirleri diňe şol nuruň täsiri astyna düşdüler-de, ony ýürekden kabul etmediler. Emma ony kabul edenleriň hemmesi ýüzlerini ýokaryk, asmana tarap öwürdiler we Hudaýy şöhratlandyrdylar. Köp adamlar güýçli gazapdan dolupdy. Ruhanylar bilen halk azgynlar bilen birleşip, gudratly perişde tarapyndan saçylan nura gaýduwsyzlyk bilen garşylyk görkezdi. Emma ony kabul edenleriň hemmesi dünýäden çekildiler we biri-biri bilen berk birleşdiler.

> “Satan and his angels were busily engaged in seeking to attract the minds of all they could from the light. The company who rejected it were left in darkness. I saw the angel watching with the deepest interest the professed people of God, to record the character they developed, as the message of heavenly origin was introduced to them. And as very many who professed love for Jesus turned from the heavenly message with scorn, derision and hatred, an angel with a parchment in his hand, made the shameful record. All heaven was filled with indignation, because Jesus was slighted by his professed followers.

> “Şeýtan we onuň perişdeleri mümkin bolanlaryň hemmesiniň aňyny ýagtylykdan sowmaga janly-jan bilen meşguldylar. Ony ret eden topar garaňkylykda galdyryldy. Men perişdäniň, asmandan gelip çykan habaryň olara ýetirilişi mahalynda, olaryň ösdürip ýetişdiren häsiýetini ýazyp almak üçin, Hudaýyň diýlip ykrar edilen halkyna iň çuňňur gyzyklanma bilen syn edýändigini gördüm. Isa bolan söýgüsini ykrar edenleriň örän köpüsiniň asmandan gelen habardan ýaňa ýüz öwrüp, oňa äsgermezlik, ýaňsa almak we ýigrenç bilen garandyklarynda, elinde pergament bolan bir perişde şol masgaraçylykly ýazgyny etdi. Bütin asman gahardan doldy, çünki Isa Öz ykrar edilen yzyna eýerijileri tarapyndan äsgerilmedi.”

> “I saw the disappointment of the trusting ones. They did not see their Lord at the expected time. It was God’s purpose to conceal the future, and bring his people to a point of decision. Without this point of time the work designed of God would not have been accomplished. Satan was leading the minds of very many far ahead in the future. A period of time proclaimed for Christ’s appearing must bring the mind to earnestly seek for a present preparation. As the time passed, those who had not fully received the light of the angel, united with those who had despised the heavenly message, and they turned upon the disappointed ones in ridicule. I saw the angels in heaven consulting with Jesus. They had marked the situation of Christ’s professed followers. The passing of the definite time had tested and proved them, and very many were weighed in the balance and found wanting. They all loudly professed to be Christians, yet failed in following Christ in almost every particular. Satan exulted at the state of the professed followers of Christ. He had them in his snare. He had led the majority to leave the straight path, and they were attempting to climb up to heaven some other way. Angels saw the pure, the clean, and holy, all mixed up with sinners in Zion, and the world-loving hypocrite. They had watched over the true lovers of Jesus; but the corrupt were affecting the holy.

> “Ynananlaryň lapykeçligini gördüm. Olar öz Reblerini garaşylan wagtda görmediler. Geljegi ýaşyrmak we Öz halkyny çözgüt nokadyna ýetirmek Hudaýyň maksady idi. Bu wagt nokady bolmadyk bolsa, Hudaý tarapyndan niýetlenen iş amala aşmazdy. Şeýtan örän köp adamlaryň pikirlerini geljekde has öňe tarap alyp barýardy. Mesihiň peýda bolşy üçin yglan edilen bir wagt döwri akyly häzirki taýýarlygy yhlas bilen gözlemäge getirmelidi. Wagt geçip gidenden soň, perişdäniň nuruny doly kabul etmedikler asmany habary ýigrenenler bilen birleşdiler-de, lapykeç bolanlaryň üstüne gülki bilen döndüler. Men asmandaky perişdeleriň Isa bilen maslahatlaşýandyklaryny gördüm. Olar Mesihiň ykrar edilýän yzyna eýerijileriniň ýagdaýyny belläp geçipdiler. Kesgitli wagtyň geçip gitmegi olary synap, barlapdy, we örän köpüsi terezide ölçenilip, kem çykdy. Olaryň hemmesi özlerini seslerini galdyryp hristian diýip ykrar edýärdiler, ýöne Mesihiň yzyna eýermekde diýen ýaly her tarapda şowsuzlyga uçradylar. Şeýtan Mesihiň ykrar edilýän yzyna eýerijileriniň ýagdaýyna begenýärdi. Olary öz duzagynda saklaýardy. Köpçüligi göni ýoldan çykarypdy, olar bolsa asmanyň içine başga bir ýol bilen çykmaga synanyşýardylar. Perişdeler Siondaky günäkärler we dünýäni söýýän ikiýüzlüler bilen garyşyp giden ähli päk, arassa, mukaddes adamlary gördüler. Olar Isany hakykatdan söýýänleriň üstünden garawullapdylar; ýöne bozuklar mukaddeslere täsir ýetirýärdiler.

> “Those whose hearts burned with a longing, intense desire to see Jesus, were forbidden by their professed brethren to speak of his coming. Angels viewed the whole scene, and sympathized with the remnant, who loved the appearing of Jesus. Another mighty angel was commissioned to descend to earth. Jesus placed in his hand a writing, and as he came to earth, he cried, Babylon is fallen! is fallen! Then I saw the disappointed ones again look cheerful, and raise their eyes to heaven, looking with faith and hope for their Lord’s appearing. But many seemed to remain in a stupid state, as if asleep; yet I could see the trace of deep sorrow upon their countenances. The disappointed ones saw from the Bible that they were in the tarrying time, and that they must patiently wait the fulfillment of the vision. The same evidence which led them to look for their Lord in 1843, led them to expect him in 1844. I saw that the majority did not possess that energy which marked their faith in 1843. Their disappointment had dampened their faith. But as the disappointed ones united in the cry of the second angel, the heavenly host looked with the deepest interest, and marked the effect of the message. They saw those who bore the name of Christians turn with derision and scorn upon those who had been disappointed. As the words fell from the mocker’s lips, You have not gone up yet! an angel wrote them. Said the angel, They mock God.

> “Ýürekleri Isa bilen duşuşmaga bolan höwes, güýçli isleg bilen ýananlara, özlerini dogan diýip atlandyrýanlar tarapyndan Onuň gelşi hakda sözlemäge rugsat berilmedi. Perişdeler tutuş bu wakany synladylar we Isanyň zähir bolmagyny söýen galanja duýgudaşlyk etdiler. Ýene bir kuwwatly perişdä ýer ýüzüne inmek tabşyryldy. Isa onuň eline bir ýazgy goýdy, ol hem ýer ýüzüne gelende: “Wawilon ýykyldy! ýykyldy!” diýip gygyrdy. Soň men lapykeç bolanlaryň ýene-de şat ýüz bilen garap, gözlerini asmana galdyryp, Rebbiniň zähir bolmagyna iman we umyt bilen garaýandyklaryny gördüm. Emma köpüsi, edil uklap ýatan ýaly, samsyk bir halda galýan ýalydy; şonda-da men olaryň ýüzlerinde çuň gaýgynyň yzyny görüp bilýärdim. Lapykeç bolanlar Mukaddes Kitapdan özleriniň gijikme döwründe bolandyklaryny we görnüşiň ýerine ýetmegini sabyr bilen garaşmalydyklaryny gördüler. Olary 1843-nji ýylda Rebbine garaşmaga getiren şol bir deliller, 1844-nji ýylda-da Ony garaşmaga iterdi. Men köplügiň 1843-nji ýylda olaryň imanyny tapawutlandyran şol yhlasy eýe etmändigini gördüm. Lapykeçlik olaryň imanyny gowşadypdy. Emma lapykeç bolanlar ikinji perişdäniň çagyryşyna goşulanda, asmanyň goşuny iň çuň gyzyklanma bilen synlap, habaryň täsirini belläp durdy. Olar hristian adyny göterýänleriň lapykeç bolanlara ýaňsylap we ýigrenç bilen ýüz öwürýändiklerini gördüler. Masgaralaýanyň dodaklaryndan: “Siz heniz ýokaryk çykmadyňyz-a!” diýen sözler çykanda, bir perişde olary ýazdy. Perişde aýtdy: “Olar Hudaýy masgaralaýarlar.”

> “I was pointed back to the translation of Elijah. His mantle fell on Elisha, and wicked children (or young people) followed him, mocking, crying, Go up thou bald head! Go up thou bald head! They mocked God, and met their punishment there. They had learned it of their parents. And those who have scoffed and mocked at the idea of the saints’ going up, will be visited with the plagues of God, and will realize that it is not a small thing to trifle with him.

> «Meni Iliýanyň göge alnyp gidilişine täzeden gönükdirdiler. Onuň dony Elişa gaçyp düşdi, we erbet çagalar (ýa-da ýaşlar) onuň yzyndan gidip, üstünden gülüp: “Çyk ýokary, eý kellesi keçel! Çyk ýokary, eý kellesi keçel!” diýip gygyryşdylar. Olar Hudaýy masgaraladylar we şol ýerde öz jezalaryna duçar boldular. Olar muny ene-atalaryndan öwrenipdiler.

> “Jesus commissioned other angels to fly quickly to revive and strengthen the drooping faith of his people, and prepare them to understand the message of the second angel, and of the important move which was soon to be made in heaven. I saw these angels receive great power and light from Jesus, and fly quickly to earth to fulfill their commission to aid the second angel in his work. A great light shone upon the people of God as the angels cried. Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. Then I saw those disappointed ones rise, and in harmony with the second angel, proclaim, Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. The light from the angels penetrated the darkness everywhere. Satan and his angels sought to hinder this light from spreading, and having its designed effect. They contended with the angels of God, and told them that God had deceived the people, and that with all their light and power, they could not make the people believe that Jesus was coming. The angels of God continued their work, although Satan strove to hedge up the way, and draw the minds of the people from the light. Those who received it looked very happy. They fixed their eyes up to heaven, and longed for the appearing of Jesus. Some were in great distress, weeping and praying. Their eyes seemed to be fixed upon themselves, and they dared not look upward.

> “Isa öz halkynyň sallanyp galan imanyny janlandyrmak we güýçlendirmek, olary ikinji perişdäniň habaryna hem-de asmanda tizden amala aşyryljak möhüm herekete düşünmäge taýýarlamak üçin başga perişdelere çalt uçup gitmegi tabşyrdy. Men bu perişdeleriň Isadan uly güýç we nur alyp, ikinji perişdä öz işinde kömek etmek baradaky tabşyrygyny ýerine ýetirmek üçin tizden ýere uçup barýandyklaryny gördüm. Perişdeler: Ine, Güýew gelýär, Ony garşy almaga çykyň, diýip gygyryşanlarynda, Hudaýyň halkynyň üstüne uly bir ýagtylyk saçyldy. Soňra men şol lapykeç bolanlaryň galandygyny, ikinji perişde bilen sazlaşykda: Ine, Güýew gelýär, Ony garşy almaga çykyň, diýip jar edýändiklerini gördüm. Perişdelerden gelen ýagtylyk hemme ýerde garaňkylyga aralaşdy. Şeýtan we onuň perişdeleri bu ýagtylygyň ýaýramagyna we niýetlenen täsirini ýetirmegine päsgel bermäge synanyşdylar. Olar Hudaýyň perişdeleri bilen jedelleşip, Hudaýyň halky aldandygyny we özleriniň ähli nury hem güýji bilen Isanyň gelýändigine halky ynandyryp bilmejekdiklerini aýtdylar. Hudaýyň perişdeleri, Şeýtan ýoly petiklemegä we halkyň pikirini ýagtylykdan sowmaga çalyşsa-da, öz işlerini dowam etdirdiler. Ony kabul edenler örän şat görünýärdiler. Olar gözlerini ýokary, asmana dikýärdiler we Isanyň zähir bolmagyna zar bolup garaşýardylar. Käbirleri uly jebirde bolup, aglaýardylar we doga edýärdiler. Olaryň gözleri özlerine dikilen ýalydy, we olar ýokarlygyna garamaga het edip bilmeýärdiler.”

> “A precious light from heaven parted the darkness from them, and their eyes, which had been fixed in despair upon themselves, were turned upward, while gratitude and holy joy were expressed upon every feature. Jesus and all the angelic host looked with approbation upon the faithful, waiting ones.

> Gökden gelen gymmatly bir nur garaňkylygy olaryň üstünden aýyrdy, özlerine umytsyzlykda dikilen gözleri ýokarlyga gönükdirildi; minnetdarlyk hem-de mukaddes şatlyk olaryň ýüz-keşbiniň her bir alamatynda aýan boldy. Isa we ähli perişdeler goşuny wepaly, garaşýan olara makullama bilen seretdiler.

> “Those who rejected and opposed the light of the first angel’s message, lost the light of the second, and could not be benefited by the power and glory which attended the message, Behold the Bridegroom cometh. Jesus turned from them with a frown. They had slighted and rejected him. Those who received the message were wrapt in a cloud of glory. They waited and watched and prayed to know the will of God. They greatly feared to offend him. I saw Satan and his angels seeking to shut this divine light from the people of God; but as long as the waiting ones cherished the light, and kept their eyes raised from earth to Jesus, Satan could have no power to deprive them of this precious light. The message given from heaven enraged Satan and his angels, and those who professed to love Jesus, but despised his coming, scorned and derided the faithful, trusting ones. But an angel marked every insult, every slight, every abuse they received from their professed brethren. Very many raised their voices to cry, Behold the Bridegroom cometh, and left their brethren who did not love the appearing of Jesus, and who would not suffer them to dwell upon his second coming. I saw Jesus turn his face from those who rejected and despised his coming, and then he bade angels lead his people out from among the unclean, lest they should be defiled. Those obedient to the messages stood out free and united. A holy and excellent light shone upon them. They renounced the world, tore their affections from it, and sacrificed their earthly interests. They gave up their earthly treasure, and their anxious gaze was directed to heaven, expecting to see their loved Deliverer. A sacred, holy joy beamed upon their countenances, and told of the peace and joy which reigned within. Jesus bade his angels go and strengthen them, for the hour of their trial drew on. I saw that these waiting ones were not yet tried as they must be. They were not free from errors. And I saw the mercy and goodness of God in sending a warning to the people of earth, and repeated messages to bring them up to a point of time, to lead them to a diligent search of themselves, that they might divest themselves of errors which have been handed down from the heathen and papists. Through these messages God has been bringing out his people where he can work for them in greater power, and where they can keep all his commandments. . . .

> “Birinji perişdäniň habarynyň ýagtysyny ret edip, oňa garşy duranlar ikinji habaryň ýagtysyny ýitirdiler we: «Ine, Güýew gelýär» diýen habara ýoldaş bolan güýjüň hem şöhratyň hiç hili peýdasyny alyp bilmediler. Isa olardan ýüzüni gamaşyk bilen öwürdi. Olar Ony äsgermezçilik edip, ret edipdiler. Habary kabul edenler şöhrat buludyna bürenipdiler.

> “As the ministration of Jesus closed in the Holy place, and he passed into the Holiest, and stood before the ark containing the law of God, he sent another mighty angel to earth with the third message. He placed a parchment in the angel’s hand, and as he descended to earth in majesty and power, he proclaimed a fearful warning, the most terrible threatening ever borne to man. This message was designed to put the children of God upon their guard, and show them the hour of temptation and anguish that was before them. Said the angel, They will be brought into close combat with the beast and his image. Their only hope of eternal life is to remain steadfast. Although their lives are at stake, yet they must hold fast the truth. The third angel closes his message with these words, Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. As he repeated these words he pointed to the heavenly Sanctuary. The minds of all who embrace this message are directed to the Most Holy place where Jesus stands before the ark, making his final intercession for all those for whom mercy still lingers, and for those who have ignorantly broken the law of God. This atonement is made for the righteous dead as well as for the righteous living. Jesus makes an atonement for those who died, not receiving the light upon God’s commandments, who sinned ignorantly.

Bu habar Hudaýyň çagalaryny hüşgärlikde saklamak we olaryň öňünde duran synag hem-de hasrat sagadyny olara görkezmek üçin niýetlenipdi. Perişde şeýle diýdi: Olar wagşy haýwan we onuň şekili bilen ýakyn söweşe çekilerler. Olaryň baky ýaşaýşa bolan ýeke-täk umydy sarsmaz galmakdyr. Durmuşlary howp astynda bolsa-da, olar hakykaty pugta tutmalydyrlar. Üçünji perişde öz habaryny şu sözler bilen tamamlaýar: Ine, mukaddesleriň sabry şudur; ine, Hudaýyň buýruklaryny we Isanyň imanyny saklaýanlar şulardyr.

> “After Jesus opened the door of the Most Holy the light of the Sabbath was seen, and the people of God were to be tested and proved, as God proved the children of Israel anciently, to see if they would keep his law. I saw the third angel pointing upward, showing the disappointed ones the way to the Holiest of the heavenly Sanctuary. They followed Jesus by faith into the Most Holy. Again they have found Jesus, and joy and hope spring up anew. I saw them looking back reviewing the past, from the proclamation of the second advent of Jesus, down through their travels to the passing of the time in 1844. They see their disappointment explained, and joy and certainty again animate them. The third angel has lighted up the past, present and future, and they know that God has indeed led them by his mysterious providence.

Men üçünji perişdäniň ýokara yşarat edip, göwni geçenlere asmandaky Mukaddes Ýeriň Mukaddesler Mukaddesine barýan ýoly görkezýändigini gördüm. Olar iman arkaly Isanyň yzyndan Mukaddesleriň Mukaddesine girdiler. Olar Isany täzeden tapdylar, we şatlyk bilen umyt täzeden joşup çykdy. Men olaryň yza seredip, Isanyň ikinji gelişiniň yglan edilişinden başlap, 1844-nji ýylda wagtyň tamam bolşuna çenli geçen ýoluny gözden geçirýändiklerini gördüm. Olar öz göwnüçökgünlikleriniň düşündirilendigini görýärler, we şatlyk bilen ynam olary ýene janlandyrýar. Üçünji perişde geçmişi, häzirki döwri we geljegi ýagtylandyrdy, we olar Hudaýyň hakykatdan-da Öz syrly ylahy Hökümi bilen özlerini ýolbaşçylyk edendigini bilýärler.

> “It was represented to me that the remnant followed Jesus into the Most Holy place, and beheld the ark, and the mercy-seat, and were captivated with their glory. Jesus raised the cover of the ark, and behold! the tables of stone, with the ten commandments written upon them. They trace down the lively oracles; but they start back with trembling when they see the fourth commandment living among the ten holy precepts, while a brighter light shines upon it than upon the other nine, and a halo of glory is all around it. They find nothing there informing them that the Sabbath has been abolished, or changed to the first day of the week. It reads as when spoken by the mouth of God in solemn and awful grandeur upon the mount, while the lightnings flashed and the thunders rolled, and when written with his own holy finger in the tables of stone. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. They are amazed as they behold the care taken of the ten commandments. They see them placed close by Jehovah, overshadowed and protected by his holiness. They see that they have been trampling upon the fourth commandment of the decalogue, and have observed a day handed down by the heathen and papists, instead of the day sanctified by Jehovah. They humble themselves before God, and mourn over their past transgressions.

Olar diri beýanlary yzarlap okaýarlar; emma on mukaddes tabşyrygyň arasynda dördünji tabşyrygyň diri durandygyny görende, onuň üstüne beýleki dokuzysyndan has ýagty nur saçylýarka we onuň daşy-dolagynda şöhratyň halasy bardygyny görende, titräp yza çekilýärler. Olar şol ýerde Sabadyň ýatyrylandygyny ýa-da hepdäniň birinji gününe üýtgedilendigini olara habar berýän hiç zady tapmaýarlar. Ol, Hudaýyň agzyndan dagda dabara bilen we gorkuly beýiklikde aýdylan wagtyndaky ýaly okalýar; şol wagt ýyldyrymlar çakyp, gök gürläpdi, we ol Öz mukaddes barmagy bilen daş tagtalara ýazypdy. Alty gün zähmet çekersiň we ähli işleriňi edersiň; emma ýedinji gün Hudaýyň Rebbiň Sabadydyr. Olar on tabşyrygyň nähili goralandygyny görüp haýran galýarlar. Olar olaryň Ýehowanyň ýanynda ýerleşdirilendigini, Onuň mukaddesligi bilen kölegelendirilip goralandygyny görýärler. Olar dekalogyň dördünji tabşyrygyny depeläp gelendiklerini we Ýehowa tarapyndan mukaddes edilen günüň deregine, butparazlar hem papistler tarapyndan geçirilip berlen bir güni berjaý edendiklerini görýärler. Olar Hudaýyň öňünde özlerini peseldýärler we öňki günä-ýazuklary üçin aglaýarlar.”

> “I saw the incense in the censer smoke as Jesus offered their confessions and prayers to his Father. And as it ascended, a bright light rested upon Jesus, and upon the mercy-seat; and the earnest, praying ones, who were troubled because they had discovered themselves to be transgressors of God’s law, were blest, and their countenances lighted up with hope and joy. They joined in the work of the third angel, and raised their voices and proclaimed the solemn warning. But few at first received the message, yet they continued with energy to proclaim the warning. Then I saw many embrace the message of the third angel, and unite their voices with those who had first proclaimed the warning, and they exalted God and magnified him by observing his sanctified Rest-day.

> Men tütsiniň tütsülikde tüsseläp çykýandygyny, Isanyň olaryň boýun almalaryny we doga-dileglerini Öz Atasyna hödürleýändigini gördüm.

Olar üçünji perişdäniň işine goşuldylar, seslerini galdyryp, şol çynlakaý duýduryşy yglan etdiler. Emma ilki bilen habary kabul edenler az boldy, şonda-da olar duýduryşy yglan etmegi gaýrat bilen dowam etdirdiler. Soňra men köpleriň üçünji perişdäniň habaryny kabul edendigini, ilki duýduryşy yglan edenler bilen seslerini birleşdirendigini gördüm; olar Hudaýy beýgeltdiler we Onuň mukaddes eden dynç gününi berjaý etmek bilen Ony ulaltdylar.

> “Many who embraced the third message had not an experience in the two former messages. Satan understood this, and his evil eye was upon them to overthrow them; but the third angel was pointing them to the Most Holy place, and those who had an experience in the past messages were pointing them the way to the heavenly Sanctuary. Many saw the perfect chain of truth in the angels’ messages, and gladly received it. They embraced them in their order, and followed Jesus by faith into the heavenly Sanctuary. These messages were represented to me as an anchor to hold the body. And as individuals receive and understand them, they are shielded against the many delusions of Satan.

> «Üçünji habary kabul edenleriň köpüsi öňki iki habarda tejribe edinmändiler. Şeýtan muňa düşündi, we olary ýykyş etmek üçin onuň pis nazary olaryň üstündedi; emma üçünji perişde olary Iň Mukaddes ýere tarap görkezýärdi, öňki habarlarda tejribesi bolanlar bolsa olara gökdäki Mukaddeshana barýan ýoly görkezýärdiler. Köp adamlar perişdeleriň habarlaryndaky hakykatyň kämil zynjyryny gördüler we ony şatlyk bilen kabul etdiler.

> “After the great disappointment in 1844, Satan and his angels were busily engaged in laying snares to unsettle the faith of the body. He was affecting the minds of individuals who had a personal experience in these things. They had an appearance of humility. They changed the first and second messages, and pointed to the future for their fulfillment, while others pointed far back in the past, declaring that they had been there fulfilled. These individuals were drawing the minds of the inexperienced away, and unsettling their faith. Some were searching the Bible to try to build up a faith of their own, independent of the body. Satan exulted in all this; for he knew that those who broke loose from the anchor, he could affect by different errors and drive about with winds of doctrine. Many who had led in the first and second messages, denied them, and division and scattering was throughout the body. I then saw Wm. Miller. He looked perplexed, and was bowed with sorrow and distress for his people. He saw the company who were united and loving in 1844, losing their love for each other, and opposing one another. He saw them fall back into a cold, backslidden state. Grief wasted his strength. I saw leading men watching Wm. Miller, and fearing lest he should embrace the third angel’s message and the commandments of God. And as he would lean towards the light from heaven, these men would lay some plan to draw his mind away. I saw a human influence exerted to keep his mind in darkness, and to retain his influence among them. At length Wm. Miller raised his voice against the light from heaven. He failed in not receiving the message which would have fully explained his disappointment, and cast a light and glory on the past, which would have revived his exhausted energies, brightened up his hope, and led him to glorify God. But he leaned to human wisdom instead of divine, and being broken with arduous labor in his Master’s cause, and by age, he was not as accountable as those who kept him from the truth. They are responsible, and the sin rests upon them. If Wm. Miller could have seen the light of the third message, many things which looked dark and mysterious to him would have been explained. His brethren professed such deep love and interest for him, he thought he could not tear away from them. His heart would incline towards the truth; but then he looked at his brethren. They opposed it. Could he tear away from those who had stood side and shoulder with him in proclaiming Jesus’ coming? He thought they surely would not lead him astray.

> 1844-nji ýyldaky beýik lapykeçlikden soň, Şeýtan we onuň perişdeleri jemagatyň imanyny sarsdyrmak üçin duzaklar gurmak bilen gyzgalaňly meşgul boldular. Ol bu zatlarda şahsy tejribesi bolan aýry-aýry adamlaryň aňyna täsir edýärdi. Olar kiçigöwünliligiň daşky keşbini görkezýärdiler. Olar birinji we ikinji habarlary üýtgedip, olaryň ýerine ýetmegini geljege gönükdirýärdiler; beýlekiler bolsa olara juda öňki geçmişi görkezmek bilen, şol ýerde eýýäm ýerine ýetendigini yglan edýärdiler. Bu adamlar tejribesizleriň aňyny hakykatdan sowup, olaryň imanyny sarsdyrýardylar. Käbirleri özbaşdak, jemagatdan garaşsyz, özleriniň aýratyn ynanjyny gurmak üçin Mukaddes Kitaby agtarýardylar. Şeýtan bularyň hemmesine begenýärdi; çünki ol labardan üzňe çykýanlary dürli ýalňyşlyklar bilen aldap biljekdigini we taglymat şemallary bilen her tarapa kowup biljekdigini bilýärdi. Birinji we ikinji habarlarda öňe düşenleriň köpüsi olary inkär etdiler, we bölünşik hem dargama bütin jemagatyň arasyna ýaýrady. Soňra men Wm. Millere gördüm. Ol aljyraňňy görünýärdi, öz halky üçin hasrat hem gaýgy-gussadan eglipdi. Ol 1844-nji ýylda birleşen we birek-biregi söýen toparyň biri-birine bolan söýgüsini ýitirip, biri-birine garşy çykýandygyny gördi. Ol olaryň sowuk, yza gaýdan ruhy hala gaçýandyklaryny gördi. Hasrat onuň güýjüni guradýardy. Men öňbaşçy adamlaryň Wm. Milleri synlap durandygyny we onuň üçünji perişdäniň habaryny hem-de Hudaýyň buýruklaryny kabul etmeginden howatyr edýändigini gördüm. Ol gökden gelýän nura meýil edýän wagtynda, bu adamlar onuň aňyny şol nurdan sowmak üçin haýsydyr bir meýilnama düzerdiler. Men onuň aňyny garaňkylykda saklamak we özleriniň arasynda onuň täsirini dowam etdirmek üçin adam täsiriniň ulanylandygyny gördüm. Ahyrynda Wm. Miller gökden gelýän nura garşy sesini galdyrdy. Ol öz lapykeçligini doly düşündirjek, geçmişe nur we şöhrat saçjak, onuň tükenen güýçlerini täzeden janlandyrjak, umydyny ýagtyldyp, Hudaýy şöhratlandyrmagyna alyp barjak habary kabul etmän ýalňyşdy. Emma ol ylahy hikmede däl-de, adam hikmedine daýandy; we Hökümdarynyň işinde çekilen agyr zähmet hem-de ýaşy sebäpli, ol ony hakykatdan saklanlardan has az jogapkärdi. Olar jogapkärdirler, we günä olaryň üstünde galýar. Eger Wm. Miller üçünji habaryň nuruny görüp bilen bolsady, oňa garaňky we syrly görünýän köp zat düşündirilerdi. Doganlary oňa şeýle çuň söýgi we gyzyklanma görkezýändiklerini ykrar edýärdiler welin, ol olardan üzňelip bilmejekdigini pikir etdi. Onuň ýüregi hakykata ymtylýardy; emma soňra ol doganlaryna seredýärdi. Olar oňa garşy çykýardylar. Isa Mesihiň gelşini wagyz etmekde onuň bilen bir hatarda, egin-egne durup gelenlerden ol üzňelip bilermidi? Ol elbetde olaryň ony ýalňyş ýola salmajakdyklaryny pikir etdi.

> “God suffered him to come under the power of Satan, and death to have dominion over him. He hid him in the grave, away from those who were constantly drawing him from God. Moses erred just as he was about to enter the promised land. So also, I saw that Wm. Miller erred as he was soon to enter the heavenly Canaan, in suffering his influence to go against the truth. Others led him to this. Others must account for it. But angels watch the precious dust of this servant of God, and he will come forth at the sound of the last trump.

> “Taňry oňa Şeýtanyň güýjüniň astyna düşmäge we ölümiň onuň üstünden höküm sürmegine ýol berdi. Ony Hudaýdan hemişe daşlaşdyrýanlardan uzakda, gabyrda gizledi. Musa wada berlen ýurda girjek bolup durka ýalňyşdy. Şeýle hem, men Wm. Milleriň asmandaky Kengana tizden girjek bolup durka, öz täsiriniň hakykata garşy gitmegine ýol berip, ýalňyşandygyny gördüm. Ony muňa beýlekiler iterdi. Munuň hasabyny beýlekiler bermelidir. Emma perişdeler Taňrynyň bu hyzmatkäriniň gymmatly tozanyna gözegçilik edýärler, we ol iň soňky surnaýyň sesi bilen çykyp geler.

> “I saw a company who stood well guarded and firm, and would give no countenance to those who would unsettle the established faith of the body. God looked upon them with approbation. I was shown three steps—one, two and three—the first, second and third angels’ messages. Said the angel, Woe to him who shall move a block, or stir a pin in these messages. The true understanding of these messages is of vital importance. The destiny of souls hangs upon the manner in which they are received. I was again brought down through these messages, and saw how dearly the people of God had purchased their experience. It had been obtained through much suffering and severe conflict. Step by step had God brought them along, until he had placed them upon a solid, immovable platform. Then I saw individuals as they approached the platform, before stepping upon it examine the foundation. Some with rejoicing immediately stepped upon it. Others commenced to find fault with the laying of the foundation of the platform. They wished improvements made, and then the platform would be more perfect, and the people much happier. Some stepped off the platform and examined it, then found fault with it, declaring it to be laid wrong. I saw that nearly all stood firm upon the platform, and exhorted others who had stepped off to cease their complaints, for God was the master-builder, and they were fighting against him. They recounted the wonderful work of God, which had led them to the firm platform, and in union nearly all raised their eyes to heaven, and with a loud voice glorified God. This affected some of those who had complained, and left the platform, and again they with humble look stepped upon it.

> “Men berk goragly goralan we berk duran bir topar adamy gördüm; olar bedeniň berkidilen imanyny sarsdyrjak bolanlara hiç hili goldaw bermezdiler. Hudaý olara hoşallyk bilen bakdy. Maňa üç ädim görkezildi — birinji, ikinji we üçünji perişdäniň habarlary. Perişde şeýle diýdi: Bu habarlarda bir bölegi ýerinden gozgatjak ýa-da bir iňňäni gymyldatjak adama waý bolsun. Bu habarlara dogry düşünmek örän wajypdyr. Janlaryň ykbaly olaryň nähili kabul edilýändigine baglydyr. Men ýene-de bu habarlaryň üsti bilen aşak getirildim we Hudaýyň halkynyň öz tejribesini nähili gymmat satyn alandygyny gördüm. Ol köp görgüler we agyr göreşler arkaly gazanylypdy. Hudaý olary ädimme-ädim alyp gelip, ahyrda berk, sarsmaz bir meýdança ýerleşdiripdi. Soňra meýdança golaýlaşýan şahsyýetleri gördüm: onuň üstüne çykmazdan öň, olar binýady synlaýardylar. Käbirleri şatlyk bilen dessine onuň üstüne çykdylar. Beýlekiler bolsa meýdançanyň binýadynyň goýluşynda kemçilik tapmaga başladylar. Olar käbir gowulandyrmalaryň edilmegini isleýärdiler; şonda meýdança has kämil, halk bolsa has bagtly bolardy. Käbirleri meýdançadan düşüp, ony barladylar-da, soňra onuň üstünden nägile boldular we onuň nädogry gurlandygyny yglan etdiler. Men olaryň tas hemmesiniň meýdançada berk durandygyny gördüm, hem-de meýdançadan düşen başgalaryna şikaýatlaryny bes etmegi ündediler; çünki Hudaý baş gurluşykçydy, olar bolsa Oňa garşy göreşýärdiler. Olar özlerini şol berk meýdança getiren Hudaýyň ajaýyp işini gürrüň berdiler, we agzybirlikde olaryň tas hemmesi gözlerini asmana dikdiler-de, belent ses bilen Hudaýy şöhratlandyrdylar. Bu bolsa şikaýat eden we meýdançany terk edenleriň käbirlerine täsir etdi, we olar ýene-de pespäl nazar bilen meýdançanyň üstüne çykdylar.”

> “I was pointed back to the proclamation of the first advent of Christ. John was sent in the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the way for Jesus’ coming. Those who rejected the testimony of John were not benefited by the teachings of Jesus. Their opposition to the proclamation of his first advent placed them where they could not readily receive the strongest evidence of his being the Messiah. Satan led on those who rejected the message of John to go still further, to reject Jesus and crucify him. In doing this, they placed themselves where they could not receive the blessing on the day of Pentecost, which would have taught them the way into the heavenly Sanctuary. The rending of the vail of the temple showed that the Jewish sacrifices and ordinances would no longer be received. The great Sacrifice had been offered, and had been accepted, and the Holy Spirit which descended on the day of Pentecost carried the minds of the disciples from the earthly Sanctuary to the heavenly, where Jesus had entered by his own blood, and shed upon his disciples the benefits of his atonement. The Jews were left in complete deception and total darkness. They lost all the light they might have had upon the plan of salvation, and still trusted in their useless sacrifices and offerings. They could not be benefited by the mediation of Christ in the Holy place. The heavenly Sanctuary had taken the place of the earthly, yet they had no knowledge of the way to the heavenly.

> «Маңа Мәсихтің алғашқы келуінің жариялануына қайта назар аудартылды. Жохан Илиястың рухы мен күшімен Исаның келуіне жол дайындау үшін жіберілді. Жоханның куәлігін қабылдамағандар Исаның ілімдерінен пайда көрмеді. Оның алғашқы келуі туралы жариялануға қарсы шығулары оларды Оның Мәсіх екендігінің ең күшті дәлелдерін де оңай қабылдай алмайтын күйге түсірді. Шайтан Жоханның хабарын қабылдамағандарды одан әрі де жетелеп, Исаны да қабылдамай, Оны айқышқа шегелеуге алып келді. Мұны істеу арқылы олар өздерін Елуінші күн мейрамындағы батаны қабылдай алмайтын орынға қойды; ал сол бата оларға көктегі Киелі үйге апаратын жолды үйретер еді. Ғибадатхана шымылдығының жыртылуы яһудилердің құрбандықтары мен рәсімдерінің бұдан былай қабыл етілмейтінін көрсетті. Ұлы Құрбандық шалынған еді және қабыл етілген болатын, ал Елуінші күн мейрамында түскен Киелі Рух шәкірттердің ойларын жердегі Киелі үйден Иса Өз қаны арқылы кірген көктегі Киелі үйге бұрып, Өзінің татуластыруының игіліктерін шәкірттерінің үстіне төкті. Яһудилер толық алдануда және тұтас қараңғылықта қалдырылды. Олар құтқарылу жоспары жөнінде өздерінде болуы мүмкін болған бүкіл нұрдан айырылды және әлі де пайдасыз құрбандықтары мен тартуларına сенді. Олар Қасиетті орында Мәсіхтің ара ағайындығынан пайда көре алмады. Көктегі Киелі үй жердегінің орнын басқан еді, бірақ олар көктегіге апаратын жол туралы ешқандай білімге ие болмады.»

> “Many look with horror at the course the Jews pursued toward Jesus in rejecting and crucifying him. And as they read the history of his shameful abuse, they think they love Christ, and would not have denied him like Peter, or crucified him like the Jews. But God who has witnessed their professed sympathy for his Son, has proved them, and has brought to the test that love which they professed for Jesus.

> Köpler Isanyň ret edilip, haça çüýlenmegine ýehudylaryň tutan ýoluna elhençlik bilen seredýärler. Onuň utandyryjy süteminiň taryhyny okaýarkalar, özleriniň Mesihi söýýändiklerini, Ony Petrus ýaly inkär etmejekdiklerini ýa-da ýehudylar ýaly haça çüýlemejekdiklerini pikir edýärler. Emma Öz Ogluna bolan olaryň yglan edilen duýgudaşlygyna şaýat bolan Hudaý olary synagdan geçirdi we olaryň Isa bolan ykrar eden söýgüsini synaga saldy.

> “All heaven watched with the deepest interest the reception of the message. But many who profess to love Jesus, and who shed tears as they read the story of the cross, instead of receiving the message with gladness, are stirred, with anger, and deride the good news of Jesus’ coming, and declare it to be delusion. They would not fellowship those who loved his appearing, but hated them, and shut them out of the churches. Those who rejected the first message could not be benefited by the second, and were not benefited by the midnight cry, which was to prepare them to enter with Jesus by faith into the Most Holy place of the heavenly Sanctuary. And by rejecting the two former messages, they can see no light in the third angel’s message, which shows the way into the Most Holy place. I saw that the nominal churches, as the Jews crucified Jesus, had crucified these messages, and therefore they have no knowledge of the move made in heaven, or of the way into the Most Holy, and they cannot be benefited by the intercession of Jesus there. Like the Jews, who offered their useless sacrifices, they offer up their useless prayers to the apartment which Jesus has left, and Satan, pleased with the deception of the professed followers of Christ, fastens them in his snare, and assumes a religious character, and leads the minds of these professed Christians to himself, and works with his power, his signs and lying wonders. Some he deceives in one way and some in another. He has different delusions prepared to affect different minds. Some look with horror upon one deception, while they readily receive another. Satan deceives some with Spiritualism. He also comes as an angel of light, and spreads his influence over the land. I saw false reformations everywhere. The churches were elated, and considered that God was marvelously working for them, when it was another spirit. It will die away and leave the world and the church in a worse condition than before.

> “Bütin asman bu habaryň kabul edilişine iň çuň gyzyklanma bilen syn etdi. Emma Isany söýýändiklerini aýdýanlaryň köpüsi, haça çekilişi baradaky hekaýany okanda gözýaş dökseler-de, bu habary şatlyk bilen kabul etmegiň ýerine gaharlanyp gozgalaňa düşdüler, Isanyň gelşi baradaky hoş habary masgaraladylar we ony aldaw diýip yglan etdiler. Olar Onuň zühur etmegini söýýänler bilen gatnaşmak islemediler, eýsem olary ýigrenip, ybadathanalardan çykardylar. Birinji habary ret edenler ikinjisinden peýda görüp bilmediler; olary iman arkaly Isa bilen bilelikde asmandaky Mukaddes Çadyryň Iň Mukaddes ýerine girmäge taýýarlamalydy gijeki nalyşdan-da peýda görmediler. Öňki iki habary ret edenleri üçin, Iň Mukaddes ýere barýan ýoly görkezýän üçünji perişdäniň habarynda hem hiç bir ýagtylyk görüp bilmeýärler. Men gördüm: ady bar ybadathanalar, ýahudylaryň Isany haça çüýländigi ýaly, bu habarlary hem haça çüýläpdirler; şonuň üçin olar asmanda edilen hereketden-de, Iň Mukaddes ýere barýan ýoldan-da bihabardyrlar, we ol ýerde Isanyň edýän şepagatyndan peýda görüp bilmeýärler. Biderek gurbanlaryny hödürlän ýahudylar ýaly, olar hem Isanyň terk eden bölümine öz biderek doga-dileglerini hödürleýärler; we Mesihiň özüni yzarlayjylar hökmünde görkezýänleriň aldanyşyna hoşal bolan Şeýtan olary öz duzagyna berk baglaýar, dini häsiýete girýär, bu özüni Mesihçi diýip görkezýänleriň aňlaryny özüne tarap eltýär, öz gudraty, alamatlary we ýalan täsinlikleri bilen işleýär. Käbirlerini bir ýol bilen, beýlekilerini bolsa başga ýol bilen aldaýar. Ol dürli aňlara täsir etmek üçin dürli aldawlary taýýarlap goýandyr. Käbirleri bir aldawa elhençlik bilen seredýärler, emma başga birini ýeňillik bilen kabul edýärler. Şeýtan käbirlerini Spiritizm bilen aldaýar. Şeýle hem ol ýagtylygyň perişdesi hökmünde gelýär we öz täsirini ýurduň ýüzüne ýaýradýar. Men hemme ýerde galp özgertmeleri gördüm. Ybadathanalar joşa gelipdi we Hudaýyň olar üçin täsin işler edýändigini hasap edýärdiler, emma bu başga bir ruhdy. Ol söner-de, dünýäni we ybadathanany öňküsinden hem has erbet ýagdaýda galdyrar.”

> “I saw that God had honest children among the nominal Adventists, and the fallen churches, and ministers and people will yet be called out from these churches, before the plagues shall be poured out, and they will gladly embrace the truth. Satan knows this, and before the loud cry of the third angel, raises an excitement in these religious bodies, that those who have rejected the truth may think God is with them. He hopes to deceive the honest, and lead them to think that God is still working for the churches. But the light will shine, and every one of the honest ones will leave the fallen churches, and take their stand with the remnant.” Spiritual Gifts, volume 1, 151–172.

> “Men Hudaýyň ada görä Adventistleriň arasynda hem, ýykylen ybadathanalaryň arasynda hem ýüregi dogry çagalarynyň bardygyny gördüm; we betbagtçylyklar dökülmezden öň, gullukçylar-da, halk-da entek bu ybadathanalardan çagyrylyp çykarylar, olar bolsa hakykaty şatlyk bilen kabul ederler. Şeýtan muny bilýär, şonuň üçin üçünji perişdäniň güýçli jygyldysy öňüsyrasynda bu dini toparlaryň içinde joşgun galdyrýar; şeýlelikde hakykaty ret edenler Hudaýyň olar bilen birdigini oýlap bilerler. Ol ýüregi dogry bolanlary aldamaga we Hudaýyň henizem ybadathanalar üçin işleýändigini oýlamaga gönükdirmäge umyt edýär. Emma nur saçyp parlar, we ýüregi dogry bolanlaryň her biri ýykylen ybadathanalary taşlap çykar we galyndy bilen öz ornuny alar.” Spiritual Gifts, 1-nji jilt, 151–172.

This passage has so many important truths, but I am using the passage to isolate some characteristics of the messages of Millerite history, in order to understand how those typify our history. All three of the angels of Revelation fourteen have a message in their hands. The second and third angel are identified as having a “parchment,” with them as they descend with their message. Each angel represents a message, and the arrival of each message causes an effect.

Bu parçada örän köp möhüm hakykatlar bar, emma men bu bölegi Millerit taryhynyň habarlarynyň käbir häsiýetlerini aýratynlaşdyrmak üçin ulanýaryn, munuň arkaly olaryň biziň taryhymyzy nähili nusgalaýandygyny düşünmek üçin. Ylham kitaby on dördünji bapdaky üç perişdäniň ählisiniň elinde bir habar bar. Ikinji we üçünji perişde öz habary bilen inip gelýän mahaly, ýanlarynda “pargamentiň” bardygy bilen tanadylýar. Her bir perişde bir habary aňladýar, we her bir habaryň gelmegi bir täsir döredýär.
