Daniel chapter one, represents the first angel’s message, and chapter two represents the second angel’s message. In prophetic symbolism, the first message is to fear God, the second message is to give God glory and the third message identifies the hour of judgment. Before we get directly into the second chapter of Daniel, a little review is required. The second angel’s message primarily identifies the fall of Babylon.

Danyýlyň birinji baby birinji perişdäniň habaryny, ikinji baby bolsa ikinji perişdäniň habaryny aňladýar. Pygamberlik nyşanlylygynda birinji habar Hudaýdan gorkmakdyr, ikinji habar Hudaýa şöhrat bermekdir, üçünji habar bolsa höküm sagadyny görkezýär. Danyýlyň ikinji babyna göni geçmezden ozal, az-kem gaýtalap gözden geçirmek zerurdyr. Ikinji perişdäniň habary esasan Wawilonyň ýykylmagyny görkezýär.

> And there followed another angel, saying, 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.

> Soňra başga bir perişde yzdan gelip şeýle diýdi: «Beýik şäher bolan Wawilon ýykyldy, ýykyldy, çünki ol öz zynasynyň gazabynyň şerabyndan ähli halklara içirdi». Ylham 14:8.

The second angel defines the fall of Babylon as the fact that she made “all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Her fall is in response to her committing fornication with all nations. The fornication is brought about through her false doctrines, which are represented as “wine.” The Catholic church is made up of many false teachings, but the false doctrine that is directly associated with her fall, is the false doctrine that produces her “wrath”. That doctrine is the combination of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. The Catholic church’s wrath, is her persecution of those she identifies as heretics. Her wrath is accomplished by her fornication with the kings of the earth. Without her connection with, and control over, the kings of the earth, she would not have the ability to persecute those she defines as heretics. Her second fall, is therefore marking the point in the future when she can once again exercise her wrath as she did in the past, that is brought about by her fornication with the kings of the earth. The kings of the earth enter into the unlawful relationship by drinking her lies. The fall of Babylon is announced for the final time in Revelation chapter eighteen.

Ikinji perişde Babiliň ýykylyşyny onuň “ähli milletlere öz zinasynyň gaharynyň şerabyny içirendigi” hakykaty hökmünde kesgitleýär. Onuň ýykylyşy, ähli milletler bilen zyna edendigine jogap hökmünde gelýär. Bu zyna onuň “şerap” hökmünde beýan edilýän ýalan taglymatlary arkaly amala aşyrylýar. Katolik buthanasy köp sanly ýalan taglymatlardan düzülendir, emma onuň ýykylyşy bilen gönüden-göni baglanyşykly bolan ýalan taglymat, onuň “gaharyny” öndürýän ýalan taglymatdyr. Ol taglymat buthananyň şol gatnaşyga gözegçilik edýän ýagdaýynda buthana bilen döwletiň birleşmesidir. Katolik buthanasynyň gahary, onuň özleriniň bidgatçy diýip kesgitleýän adamlaryny yzarlamagydyr. Onuň gahary ýer ýüzüniň patyşalary bilen edýän zinasynyň üsti bilen amala aşyrylýar. Ýer ýüzüniň patyşalary bilen bolan baglanyşygy we olaryň üstünden edýän gözegçiligi bolmasa, ol öz kesgitleýşi boýunça bidgatçy bolanlary yzarlamaga ukyply bolmazdy. Şonuň üçin onuň ikinji ýykylyşy, onuň geçmişde bolşy ýaly ýer ýüzüniň patyşalary bilen edýän zinasynyň netijesinde öz gaharyny ýene-de bir gezek durmuşa geçirip biljek geljekdäki nokadyny belleýär. Ýer ýüzüniň patyşalary onuň ýalanlaryny içmek arkaly şol bikanun gatnaşyga girýärler. Babiliň ýykylyşy soňky gezek Ylham kitabynyň on sekizinji babynda yglan edilýär.

> And after these things 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, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice 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. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. Revelation 18:1–6.

> Şondan soň men asmandan başga bir perişdäniň inip gelýändigini gördüm; onuň uly ygtyýary bardy, ýer onuň şöhraty bilen ýagtyldy. Ol güýçli ses bilen gaty batly gygyryp şeýle diýdi: «Beýik Babil ýykyldy, ýykyldy, ol jynlaryň mesgenine, her bir haram ruhuň mekanyna, her bir haram we ýigrenji guşuň kapasyna öwrüldi. Çünki ähli halklar onuň zynasynyň gazabynyň şerabyndan içdiler, ýeriň patyşalary onuň bilen zyna etdiler, ýeriň täjirleri bolsa onuň nepis nygmatlarynyň köplügi arkaly baýadylar». Men asmandan başga bir sesi eşitdim, ol şeýle diýýärdi: «Eý, Meniň halkym, onuň içinden çykyň, onuň günälerine şärik bolmaň we onuň belalaryndan paý almaň. Çünki onuň günäleri asmana ýetdi, Hudaý bolsa onuň etmişlerini ýatlady. Ol size nähili garşylyk beren bolsa, siz hem oňa şonuň ýaly beriň; eden işlerine görä oňa iki esse gaýtaryň; onuň dolduran käsesinde oňa iki esse dolduryň». Ylham 18:1–6.

The probationary cup of the Catholic church ended in 1798, but she is to repeat the persecution she accomplished in the Dark Ages, during the soon-coming Sunday law crisis.

Katolik buthanasynyň synag möhleti 1798-nji ýylda tamamlandy, emma ol golaýlap gelýän ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanun krizisinde Garaňky Asyrlarda amala aşyran yzarlamasyny gaýtalamalydyr.

> Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Revelation 2:20–22.

> Şeýle-de bolsa, saňa garşy birnäçe zadym bar: çünki sen özüni pygamber aýal atlandyrýan şol Izebele rugsat berýärsiň; ol hyzmatkärlerimi öwredýär hem-de olary zyna etmäge we butlara gurban edilen zatlardan iýmäge azdyrýar. Men oňa öz zynasyndan toba etmegi üçin wagt berdim; emma ol toba etmedi. Ine, Men ony düşege taşlaryn, onuň bilen zyna edýänleri hem öz işlerinden toba etmese, uly musibete salarýn. Ylham 2:20–22.

She was given twelve hundred and sixty years to repent and she refused. The three and a half years of drought that led to Mount Carmel, was given to Jezebel to repent, but she also refused. At the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, the first of the kings of the earth that commit fornication with her in the last days is the United States, the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. It then has filled the cup of its probationary time.

Oňa toba etmegi üçin oňa müň iki ýüz altmyş ýyl berildi, emma ol boýun bolmady. Karmel dagyna alyp baran üç ýarym ýyllyk guraklyk Ýezebele toba etmegi üçin berildi, emma ol hem boýun bolmady. Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda ýakyn wagtda çykjak ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanun mahalynda, ahyrzamanda onuň bilen zyna edýän ýer ýüzüniň patyşalarynyň ilkinjisi — Birleşen Ştatlar, Ylham 13-däki ýer haýwanydyr. Şonda ol öz synag möhletiniň käsesini dolduryp gutaran bolar.

> “The greatest and most favored nation upon the earth is the United States. A gracious Providence has shielded this country, and poured upon her the choicest of Heaven’s blessings. Here the persecuted and oppressed have found refuge. Here the Christian faith in its purity has been taught. This people have been the recipients of great light and unrivaled mercies. But these gifts have been repaid by ingratitude and forgetfulness of God. The Infinite One keeps a reckoning with the nations, and their guilt is proportioned to the light rejected. A fearful record now stands in the register of Heaven against our land; but the crime which shall fill up the measure of her iniquity is that of making void the law of God.

> Ýer ýüzündäki iň beýik we iň artykmaç ýalkanan millet Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarydyr. Mähirli Ylahy Hemaýat bu ýurdy gorapdyr we onuň üstüne asmandaky nygmatlaryň iň saýlawlylaryny eçilipdir. Bu ýerde yzarlananlar we ezilenler pena tapdylar. Bu ýerde hristian ynanjy öz päkliginde öwredildi. Bu halk uly nuruň we deňi-taýy bolmadyk merhemetleriň kabul edijileri boldular. Emma bu sowgatlara minnetdarlyksyzlyk we Hudaýy unudmak bilen jogap berildi. Çäksiz Olan milletler bilen hasaplaşygy ýöredýär, olaryň günäsi bolsa ret edilen nura görä ölçenilýär. Häzir asmanyň ýazgysynda biziň ýurdumyza garşy gorkunç bir hasabat dur; emma onuň etmişleriniň ölçegini doldurjak jenaýat Hudaýyň kanunyny ýatyrmak bolar.

> “Between the laws of men and the precepts of Jehovah will come the last great conflict of the controversy between truth and error. Upon this battle we are now entering,—a battle not between rival churches contending for the supremacy, but between the religion of the Bible and the religion of fable and tradition. The agencies which will unite against truth and righteousness in this contest are now actively at work.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 398.

> “Ynsanlaryň kanunlary bilen Ýehowanyň buýruklarynyň arasynda hakykat bilen ýalanyň arasyndaky dawanyň soňky beýik çaknyşygy bolar. Biz häzir şu söweşe girýäris,—üstünlik ugrunda göreşýän garşydaş ybadathanalaryň arasyndaky söweşe däl-de, eýsem Mukaddes Kitabyň dini bilen rowaýat we däp-dessuryň dininiň arasyndaky söweşe. Bu göreşde hakykata we dogrulyga garşy birleşjek güýçler häzir işjeň ýagdaýda hereket edýärler.” Prophecy Ruhy, 4-nji tom, 398.

At the Sunday law, the mark of the beast is enforced, thus “making void the law of God.” Before the Sunday law, the image of the beast is formed within the United States. The Sunday law arrives at a point in time, but the formation of the image of the beast is a period of time. That period of time is the prophetic period represented by Daniel’s lifespan as represented by the seventy years of captivity in Daniel chapter one. Those seventy years began with Jehoiakim, symbolizing when the first message was empowered on September 11, 2001, and ended with the making void the law of God, as represented by the “decree” of Cyrus.

Ýekşenbe güni hakyndaky kanun wagtynda haýwanyň belligi mejbury edilýär, şeýlelik bilen «Hudaýyň kanunyny güýjünden düşürýär». Ýekşenbe güni hakyndaky kanundan öň haýwanyň şekili Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň içinde emele gelýär. Ýekşenbe güni hakyndaky kanun belli bir wagtda gelýär, emma haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelişi bolsa bir döwürdir. Şol döwür Danyýeliň ömrüniň uzynlygy bilen görkezilen pygamberlik döwrüdir; bu Danyýel kitabynyň birinji babyndaky ýetmiş ýyllyk ýesirlik bilen suratlandyrylýar. Şol ýetmiş ýyl Ýehoýakim bilen başlap, 2001-nji ýylyň 11-nji sentýabrynda birinji habaryň güýçlendirilendigini alamatlandyrýar, we Kiriň «permany» bilen görkezilişi ýaly, Hudaýyň kanunynyň güýjünden düşürilmegi bilen tamamlanýar.

The history of Daniel’s prophetic life of seventy years is symbolic of several lines of prophecy. It represents the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. It represents a three-step testing process that is illustrated in the three angels of Revelation fourteen, and represents the structure of the Hebrew word “truth.” It represents the purification of the sons of Levi that is accomplished by the messenger of the covenant. It is represented by Christ twice cleansing the temple. It is represented by the progressive apostasy within Jerusalem in Ezekiel chapters eight and nine. It also represents the history where the image of the beast is formed in the United States.

Danyýlyñ ýetmiş ýyllyk pygamberlik durmuşynyň taryhy pygamberligiň birnäçe ugurlarynyň nyşanydyr. Ol ýüz kyrk dört müňüň möhürleniş wagtyny aňladýar. Ol Ylhamyň on dördünji babyndaky üç perişdede şekillendirilen we ýewreýçe “hakykat” sözüniň gurluşyny görkezýän üç ädimli synag işini aňladýar. Ol ähtiň ilçisi tarapyndan amala aşyrylýan Lawynyň ogullarynyň päklenişini aňladýar. Ol Mesihiň ybadathanany iki gezek arassalamagy bilen beýan edilýär. Ol Ezehiýel kitabynyň sekizinji we dokuzynjy baplarynda Iýerusalimiň içindäki kem-kemden artýan ýüz öwürmesi bilen beýan edilýär. Şeýle hem ol haýwanyň keşbiniň Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda emele gelýän taryhyny aňladýar.

The image of the beast is also represented by the fornication of Jezebel with Ahab, the fornication of Herod with Herodias, the golden calf of Aaron’s rebellion, the two counterfeit worship temples of Jeroboam located in Bethel and Dan, the prophets of Baal and the prophets of Ashtaroth in the story of Mount Carmel. The only definition of the image of the beast in the writings of Ellen White is the combination of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. That issue of a church ruling over the state is the essence of what the sacred document, which is the Constitution of the United States, was designed to guard against. When the principle of the separation of church and state is discarded by the earth beast at the soon-coming Sunday law, the completed union of church and state in the United States will be accomplished.

Haýwanyň şekili, şeýle hem Izebeliň Ahap bilen edýän zynasy, Hirodyň Hirodiýa bilen edýän zynasy, Harunyň pitnesindäki altyn göle, Ýeroboamyň Beýtelde we Danda ýerleşen galp ybadat ybadathanalarynyň ikisi, hem-de Karmel dagy baradaky wakada Baalyň pygamberleri bilen Aştarotyň pygamberleri arkaly hem görkezilýär. Ellen Waýtyň ýazgylarynda haýwanyň şekiline berlen ýeke-täk kesgitleme, buthananyň döwlete ýolbaşçylyk edýän ýagdaýyndaky buthana bilen döwletiň birleşmesidir. Buthananyň döwlet üstünden höküm sürmegi baradaky şol mesele, Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň Konstitusiýasy diýlip atlandyrylýan mukaddes resminamanyň goramagy üçin niýetlenen zatlaryň özenidir. Ýakyn wagtda geljek ýekşenbe kanunynda ýer ýüzüniň haýwany tarapyndan buthana bilen döwletiň aýrybaşgalanmagy ýörelgesi ret edilende, Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda buthana bilen döwletiň doly birleşmegi amala aşar.

From September 11, 2001 until the Sunday law in the United States there is a visual test, which is based upon students of prophecy recognizing the formation of the image of the beast. We are now at the very end of that process. In the process of forming the image of the beast there are several movements that contribute to the full development at the Sunday law, where the mark of the beast is enforced. There are political movements, religious movements, social movements and financial movements. Notice the events that are referenced in connection with the formation of the image of the beast in the following passage.

2001-nji ýylyň 11-nji sentýabryndan Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda ýekşenbe kanuny güýje girýänçä, pygamberlik okuwçylarynyň haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelşini tanamagyna esaslanýan bir göz bilen görülýän synag bar. Biz indi şol prosesiň hut iň soňky tapgyryndadyrys. Haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelşi prosesinde ýekşenbe kanunynda, ýagny haýwanyň nyşanynyň mejbury kabul etdirilýän pursadynda, doly ösüşe goşant goşýan birnäçe hereketler bar. Syýasy hereketler, dini hereketler, jemgyýetçilik hereketleri we maliýe hereketleri bar. Aşakdaky parçadaky haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelşi bilen baglanyşykda salgylanylýan wakalara üns beriň.

> “Already preparations are advancing, and movements are in progress, which will result in making an image to the beast. Events will be brought about in the earth’s history that will fulfill the predictions of prophecy for these last days” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 976.

> “Taýýarlyklar eýýäm öňe ilerleýär, we haýwana bir şekil döretmek bilen netijelenjek hereketler dowam edýär. Ýeriň taryhynda bu soňky günler üçin pygamberligiň öňünden aýdylanlaryny ýerine ýetirjek wakalar bolup geçer” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 7-nji tom, 976.

The formation of the image of the beast involves an advancing preparation that includes “events” and “movements,” both in the plural. The history represented by Daniel’s seventy years of captivity began with Jehoiakim, and ended with the decree of Cyrus. Jesus illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing, and there is a “decree” that represents the beginning of the period that Daniel’s seventy prophetic years typifies. That “decree” was the USA Patriot Act, which was publicly premised upon the attack of Islam of the third woe. But unlike the dictatorial executive orders of Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War, or Franklin Roosevelt in World War Two, the Patriot Act is still in force, and will most likely be reinforced and strengthened as hostilities with global Islam increase. The executive orders of both the Civil and Second World War ended with the end of hostilities, but there will be no end of hostilities with global Islam, but rather, escalating terror attacks around the world.

Haýwanyň keşbiniň emele gelşi köplük sanda berlen “wakalary” hem-de “hereketleri” öz içine alýan öňe ilerleýän taýýarlygy özünde jemleýär. Danyýeliň ýetmiş ýyllyk ýesirlik bilen görkezilen taryhy Ýehiakim bilen başlap, Kiriň permany bilen tamamlandy. Isa bir zadyň soňuny başga bir zadyň başlangyjy arkaly suratlandyrýar, we Danyýeliň ýetmiş pygamberlik ýylynyň nusgalaýan döwrüniň başlangyjyny aňladýan bir “perman” bar. Şol “perman” ABŞ-nyň Patriot Aktydy; ol köpçüligiň öňünde üçünji belanyň yslam tarapyndan edilen hüjümine esaslandyrylyp yglan edildi. Emma Ybraýym Linkolnyň Graždan urşy döwründäki, ýa-da Franklin Ruzweltiň Ikinji jahan urşy döwründäki diktatorçylyk häsiýetli ýerine ýetiriji buýruklaryndan tapawutlylykda, Patriot Akt häzirem güýjünde galýar we bütindünýä yslamy bilen duşmançylyklar güýçlendikçe, ähtimal, has-da berkidiler we güýçlendiriler. Graždan urşy bilen Ikinji jahan urşunyň ikisindäki ýerine ýetiriji buýruklar hem duşmançylyklaryň tamamlanmagy bilen tamamlandy, emma bütindünýä yslamy bilen duşmançylyklaryň soňy bolmaz; tersine, dünýäniň çar künjeginde terrorçylykly hüjümler barha artar.

There are two primary legal philosophies within Western culture. English Law and Roman Law. The premise of English Law is that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and the premise of Roman Law is that a person is guilty until proven innocent. The USA Patriot Act is a classic example of Roman Law, and stands in direct opposition to English Law. This is one of those “events” that would be brought about in the formation of the image of the beast. If the United States is going to become the image of Catholicism, Catholic religious and political philosophy would need to be established in the United States in advance of the enforcement of the mark of the beast.

Günbatar medeniýetiniň çäginde iki esasy hukuk pelsepesi bar: Iňlis hukugy we Rim hukugy. Iňlis hukugynyň esasy ýörelgesi şudur: adam günäkärdigi subut edilýänçä bigünä hasap edilýär; Rim hukugynyň esasy ýörelgesi bolsa şudur: adam bigünädigi subut edilýänçä günäkär hasap edilýär. ABŞ-nyň Patriot Act kanuny Rim hukugynyň nusgawy bir mysalydyr we Iňlis hukugyna göni garşy durýar. Bu, haýwanyň keşbiniň emele gelşinde ýüze çykaryljak şol “wakalaryň” biridir. Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary katolisizmiň keşbine öwrüljek bolsa, onda haýwanyň nyşanynyň mejbury ornaşdyrylmagyndan öň, katolik dini we syýasy pelsepesi ABŞ-da öňünden ýola goýulmalydyr.

> “This subject is urging itself upon my mind. Consider it; for it is a matter of vast importance. With which of these two classes shall we identify our interest? We are now making our choice, and we shall soon discern between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Read the fourth chapter of Malachi, and think about it seriously. The day of God is right upon us. The world has converted the church. Both are in harmony, and are acting upon a short-sighted policy. Protestants will work upon the rulers of the land to make laws to restore the lost ascendency of the man of sin, who sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. The Roman Catholic principles will be taken under the care and protection of the State. This national apostasy will speedily be followed by national ruin. The protest of Bible truth will be no longer tolerated by those who have made not the law of God their rule of life. Then will the voice be heard from the graves of martyrs, represented by the souls which John saw slain for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ which they held; then the prayer will ascend from every true child of God, ‘It is time, Lord, for thee to work: for they have made void thy law.’” General Conference Daily Bulletin, January 1, 1900.

> “Bu tema aklymy örän çuň meşgul edýär. Ony seljeriň; çünki bu ägirt uly ähmiýetli meseledir. Bu iki toparyň haýsysy bilen biz öz bähbidimizi baglanyşdyrarys? Biz häzir öz saýlawymyzy edýäris, we tiz wagtda Hudaýa hyzmat edýän bilen Oňa hyzmat etmeýäniň arasyndaky tapawudy göreris. Malakynyň dördünji babyry okaň we onuň üstünde çynlakaý oýlanyň. Hudaýyň güni edil gapymyzda dur. Dünýä ýygnagy özüne öwürdi. Ikisi hem ylalaşyk içindedir we gysga görüşli syýasat boýunça hereket edýärler. Protestantlar ýurduň ýolbaşçylaryna täsir edip, Hudaýyň ybadathanasynda oturyp, özüni Hudaý diýip görkezýän günäniň adamynyň ýiten agalygyny gaýtadan dikeltmek üçin kanunlar çykartdyrarlar. Rim Katolik ýörelgeleri döwletiň idegine we goragyna tabşyrylar. Bu milli dönüklik tiz wagtda milli heläkçilik bilen yzarlanar. Mukaddes Kitap hakykatynyň garşy çykyşy, Hudaýyň kanunyny öz durmuşynyň düzgüni etmänleriň arasynda indi çydalyp bilinmez. Şonda guburlardan şehitleriň sesi eşidiler; bu ses Ýahýanyň Hudaýyň Sözi we özlerinde bolan Isa Mesihiň şaýatlygy üçin öldürilen görüp duran janlary bilen şekillendirilen sesdir; şonda her bir hakyky Hudaý çagasynyň dodagyndan şeýle doga göteriler: ‘Ýa Reb, indi Seniň işlemeli wagtyň ýetdi; çünki olar Seniň kanunyňy güýjünden gaçyrdylar.’” General Conference Daily Bulletin, January 1, 1900.

The previous passage marks the time when “Roman Catholic principles will be taken under the care and protection of the State,” as occurring at the Sunday law. The Sunday law is the end of the symbolic period that began on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act at the beginning, typifies the Sunday law at the end. Two of the events that are brought about in order to form the image of the beast was the arrival of the third Woe, and the subsequent Patriot Act.

Öňki bölek “Rim Katolik prinsipleriniň döwletiň aladasy we goragy astyna alynjak” wagtyny, ýekşenbe kanunynda bolup geçýän ýagdaý hökmünde belleýär. Ýekşenbe kanuny 2001-nji ýylyň 11-nji sentýabrynda başlanan nyşanlaýyn döwriň soňydyr. Başlangyçdaky Patriot Act, soňdaky ýekşenbe kanunynyň nyşanydyr. Haýwanyň keşbini emele getirmek üçin amala aşyrylýan wakalaryň ikisi üçünji Betbagtlygyň gelmegi we onuň yz ýanyndaky Patriot Act boldy.

The formation of the image of the beast is the test where our eternal destiny will be decided, and it comes in advance of the Sunday law. At the Sunday law our probation as Seventh-day Adventists closes, and it is there that the visible seal is impressed and the ensign uplifted. The formation of the image of the beast occurs before the Sunday law, before the visible sealing, and before the close of probation.

Haýwanyň keşbiniň emele gelmegi biziň ebedi ykbalymyzyň çözüljek synagydyr, we ol ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanundan öň gelýär. Ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanunda biziň Ýedinji-gün Adwentistleri hökmünde synag möhletimiz tamamlanýar, we hut şol ýerde görünýän möhür basylýar hem-de baýdak ýokary galdyrylýar. Haýwanyň keşbiniň emele gelmegi ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanundan, görünýän möhürlenmeden, hem-de synag möhletiniň tamamlanmagyndan öň bolup geçýär.

> “The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. Your position is such a jumble of inconsistencies that but few will be deceived.

> Reb maňa aýdyň görkezdi ki, wagşy haýwanyň keşbi synag möhleti ýapylmazdan öň emele getiriler; çünki ol Hudaýyň halky üçin beýik synag bolar, şol arkaly olaryň ebedi ykbaly çözüler. Seniň tutýan garaýşyň şeýle bir çaprazlyklar garyndysy bolup durýar welin, onuň bilen diňe örän az adam aldanar.

> “In Revelation 13 this subject is plainly presented; [Revelation 13:11–17, quoted].

> “Ylham 13-de bu tema açyk-aýdyň beýan edilýär; [Ylham 13:11–17, sitata getirildi].”

> “This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

> “Bu, Hudaýyň halkynyň möhürlenmezinden öň geçmeli synagydyr. Onuň kanunyny berjaý edip, galp bir Sabady kabul etmegi ret etmek bilen, Hudaýa wepadarlygyny subut edenleriň hemmesi Reb Hudaý Ýehowanyň baýdagy astynda orun alar we ýaşaýan Hudaýyň möhürini alar. Emma asman gelip çykyşly hakykaty elden berip, ýekşenbe Sabadyny kabul edenler haýwanyň nyşanyny alarlar” Manuscript Releases, 15-nji tom, 15.

The period of time for the formation of the image of the beast was represented by Daniel’s seventy years of captivity. Daniel first passed the test of fearing God, by choosing to eat only God’s food. Daniel’s first test was a dietary test. Daniel’s second test was a visual test that occurred at the end of a testing period of ten days of eating God’s diet, as opposed to eating the diet of Babylon. The success of that diet was manifested in Daniel’s physical appearance. The second test is a visual test. The first test is a dietary test. Daniel manifested his faith, and passed the first test, but in the second test, Daniel could not see in advance if he was going to appear “fatter and fairer” than those who ate Babylon’s diet. There are always people who look tremendous, but eat garbage, and there are conscientious health reformers that look like walking death.

Wahyşnyň şekiliniň emele gelmegi üçin niýetlenen döwür, Danyýeliň ýetmiş ýyllyk ýesirligi bilen şekillendirilipdi. Danyýel ilki Hudaýdan gorkmak synagyndan geçdi, munuň üçin ol diňe Hudaýyň iýmitini iýmegi saýlady. Danyýeliň ilkinji synagy iýmit synagy boldy. Danyýeliň ikinji synagy bolsa, Hudaýyň iýmitini iýmegiň on günlük synag möhletiniň ahyrynda ýüze çykan görüş synagy boldy; bu, Wawilonyň iýmitini iýmäge garşy goýlupdy. Şol iýmit tertibiniň üstünligi Danyýeliň beden keşbinde aýan boldy. Ikinji synag görüş synagydyr. Birinji synag iýmit synagydyr. Danyýel imanyny ýüze çykardy we ilkinji synagdan geçdi, emma ikinji synagda Danyýel, Wawilonyň iýmitini iýenlerden has “semizräk we görmegeýräk” bolup görünjekdigini öňünden görüp bilmedi. Elmydama örän görmegeý görünýän, emma hapa zatlar bilen iýmitlenýän adamlar bolýar; şeýle hem, saglyk özgertmesine ynsaply eýerýän, emma ýöreýän ölüm ýaly görünýän adamlar hem bolýar.

The exercise of Daniel’s self-discipline and faith in the first test is what carried him through the second test, though the outcome of the second testing period was clouded in “darkness”. The Millerites who ate the little book on August 11, 1840, thereafter glorified God in the proclamation of the Midnight Cry message as the message swept over the land as a tidal wave. The second test is a visual test, which is preceded by a literal and spiritual dietary test and then followed by a prophetic litmus test. The second test requires a visual demonstration of the faith that was professed in the first test.

Danyýlyň ilkinji synagdaky özüni tertipleşdirmegi we imanyny durmuşa geçirişi, ikinji synagdan hem ony geçiripdi, emma ikinji synag döwrüniň netijesi “garaňkylyk” bilen örtülipdi. 1840-njy ýylyň 11-nji awgustynda kiçijik kitaby iýen Milleritler, ondan soň, Gijeki Agyryş habarynyň ýurda joşgunly tolkun ýaly ýaýraýşy bilen, şol habary wagyz etmek arkaly Hudaýy şöhratlandyrdylar. Ikinji synag göz bilen görülýän synagdyr; onuň öňünden göni manydaky we ruhy iýmit synagy geçýär, ondan soň bolsa pygamberlik lakmus synagy gelýär. Ikinji synag birinji synagda ykrar edilen imanyň göz bilen görülýän subut edilmegini talap edýär.

> Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Hebrews 11:1, 2.

> Iman — umyt edilýän zatlaryň mazmuny, görünmeýän zatlaryň bolsa subutnamasydyr. Çünki gadymky atalar onuň arkaly ýagşy şaýatlyk aldylar. Ýewreýler 11:1, 2.

Daniel chapter two is a visual test, that is only successfully accomplished if the diet that was selected in the first test is actively applied to the testing process.

Danyýel kitabynyň ikinji babyndaky synag — görsel synagdyr; ol diňe ilkinji synagda saýlanyp alnan iýmit düzgüniniň synag işine işjeň taýdan ulanylmagy bilen üstünlikli ýerine ýetirilýär.

> For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:3, 4.

> Çünki görnüş bellenen wagt üçindir; emma ahyrynda ol sözlär we ýalan aýtmaz. Ol gijä galsa-da, oňa garaş; çünki ol hökman geler, gijä galmaz. Ine, tekepbirlenen adamyň jany onuň içinde dogry däldir; emma adyl öz imany arkaly ýaşar. Habakkuk 2:3, 4.

The outcome of the second test is left in darkness in order to demonstrate if the professed faith of the first test was a genuine faith.

Ikinji synagyň netijesi, birinji synagda ykrar edilen imanyň hakykatdan hem hakyky iman bolandygyny görkezmek üçin garaňkylykda galdyrylýar.

> “The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a delineation of events which would transpire under the first and second angels’ messages. It was not best for the people to know these things, for their faith must necessarily be tested. In the order of God most wonderful and advanced truths would be proclaimed. The first and second angels’ messages were to be proclaimed, but no further light was to be revealed before these messages had done their specific work.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.

> “Ýohanna berlen we onuň ýedi ýyldyrymda beýan eden aýratyn nury, birinji we ikinji perişdeleriň habarlarynyň dowamynda bolup geçjek wakalaryň beýanydy. Bu zatlary halkyň bilmegi iň gowusy däldi, çünki olaryň imany hökmany suratda synagdan geçirilmelidi. Hudaýyň tertibine görä iň ajaýyp we iň öňdebaryjy hakykatlar yglan edilmelidi. Birinji we ikinji perişdeleriň habarlary yglan edilmelidi, ýöne bu habarlar özlerine mahsus işini ýerine ýetirýänçä, mundan artyk nur aýan edilmeli däldi.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.

It is divinely fitting that Daniel chapter two, is based upon an image, for it represents the test of the image of the beast. Those students of prophecy that recognized September 11, 2001 as a fulfillment of prophecy, symbolically ate the hidden book. They were then led back to the old paths of Adventism as they appear on the pioneer 1843 and 1850 Charts. The old paths identified the movement of the first angel, which they then were led to understand represented the movement of the third angel. All the precious revelations that they were led to understand came about by the understanding of the prophetic methodology that they received. That methodology was typified by the methodology of William Miller, that was confirmed when the first message of his history was empowered on August 11, 1840.

Ylahy taýdan ýerliklidir, çünki Danyýel kitabynyň ikinji baby bir şekile esaslanýar; sebäbi ol wagşy haýwanyň şekiliniň synagyny aňladýar. 2001-nji ýylyň 11-nji sentýabryny pygamberligiň amala aşmagy hökmünde tanap bilen şol pygamberlik okuwçylary gizlin kitaby ruhy manyda iýdiler. Şondan soň olar Adventizmiň köne ýollaryna — pionerleriň 1843 we 1850-nji ýyllardaky Çartlarynda görkezilişi ýaly — yzyna ugradyldylar. Şol köne ýollar birinji perişdäniň hereketini kesgitledi; soňra olar munuň üçünji perişdäniň hereketini aňladýandygyna düşünmäge ugradyldylar. Olara düşünmäge ugradylyp açylan ähli gymmatly ylhamlar olaryň kabul eden pygamberlik usulyýetine düşünmek arkaly ýüze çykdy. Şol usulyýet William Milleriň usulyýeti bilen nusgalandyrylypdy; bu bolsa onuň taryhyndaky ilkinji habaryň 1840-njy ýylyň 11-nji awgustynda güýçlendirilmegi bilen tassyklanyldy.

> “In the year 1840 another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to be overthrown . . . on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And this, I believe, will be found to be the case.’

> “1840-njy ýylda pygamberligiň ýene bir ajaýyp amala aşmagy giň gerimli gyzyklanma döretdi. Ondan iki ýyl öň, ikinji ösüşi wagyz edýän öňdebaryjy gullukçylaryň biri bolan Joşaýa Liç, Osman imperiýasynyň ýykylyşyny öňünden aýdyp, Ylham 9-yň düşündirişini neşir etdi. Onuň hasaplamalaryna görä, bu güýç... 1840-njy ýylyň 11-nji awgustynda, Konstantinopoldaky Osman häkimiýetiniň syndyryljagyna garaşylýan wagtda agdarylmaly boldy. Men munuň hakykatdan hem şeýle boljakdygynyň äşgär boljakdygyna ynanýaryn.”

> “At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

> “Bellenen wagtyň özünde Türkiýe öz ilçileriniň üsti bilen Ýewropanyň ýaran döwletleriniň goragyny kabul etdi we şeýlelikde özüni hristian milletleriniň gözegçiliginiň astyna goýdy. Bu waka öňden aýdylan pygamberligi takyk ýerine ýetirdi. Bu mälim bolanda, köp sanly adamlar Milleriň we onuň egindeşleriniň kabul eden pygamberlikleri düşündiriş ýörelgeleriniň dogrulygyna ynandylar, hem-de Mesihiň gelerine garaşmak hereketine ajaýyp bir itergi berildi. Bilimli we ýokary derejeli adamlar hem Miller bilen birleşip, onuň garaýyşlaryny wagyz etmekde-de, neşir etmekde-de gatnaşdylar, we 1840-dan 1844-e çenli bu iş çaltlyk bilen giňeldi.” Uly göreş, 334, 335.

When men accepted September 11, 2001, as a fulfillment of prophecy, they were also “convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by” Future for America. The angel had descended with the hidden book and commanded those that would eat, to eat. The prophetic logic contained within the little book of the Millerite history, and the hidden book of our current history, is required to safely navigate the test of the formation of the image of the beast. But after eating, or assimilation of the prophetic methodology, the student must thereafter manifest a visual confirmation of what he had previously eaten. That act of faith must be manifested by a test which is navigated with an outcome that is “dark”.

Adamlar 2001-nji ýylyň 11-nji sentýabryny pygamberligiň ýerine ýetmesi hökmünde kabul edenlerinde, olar şol bir wagtyň özünde Future for America tarapyndan “kabul edilen pygamberlik düşündiriş ýörelgeleriniň dogrulygyna-da ynandylar”. Perişde gizlin kitap bilen inip gelip, ony iýjek bolýanlara iýmegi buýurdy. Millerçileriň taryhyndaky kiçi kitabyň, hem-de häzirki taryhymyzdaky gizlin kitabyň içinde jemlenen pygamberlik logikasy haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelmegi synagyndan aman-esen geçmek üçin zerurdyr. Emma iýenden, ýagny pygamberlik metodologiýasyny özleşdirenden soň, okuwçy şondan beýläk öň iýen zadynyň göz bilen görülýän tassyknamasyny ýüze çykarmalydyr. Şol iman işi “garaňky” netije bilen geçilýän bir synag arkaly ýüze çykarylmalydyr.

The prophetic rules of William Miller in the history of the first angel, combined with the prophetic keys that were established in the history of the third angel, allows students of prophecy to recognize that each of the three angels of Revelation fourteen brought with them a message in a little book that was to be eaten. The methodology they chose to eat allows those students to then see that when the angel of Revelation eighteen descended on September 11, 2001, he had a book that must be eaten in his hand, though it is not directly addressed in chapter eighteen.

Birinji perişdäniň taryhynda William Milleriň pygamberlik düzgünleri, üçünji perişdäniň taryhynda ornaşdyrylan pygamberlik açarlary bilen utgaşyp, pygamberligiň okuwçylaryna Ylhamyň on dördünji babyndaky üç perişdäniň hersiniň özi bilen iýilmegi zerur bolan kiçijik kitapdaky habary getirendigini tanamaga mümkinçilik berýär. Olaryň şol kitaby iýmek üçin saýlan usuly, şol okuwçylara soňra Ylhamyň on sekizinji babyndaky perişdäniň 2001-nji ýylyň 11-nji sentýabrynda inende, on sekizinji bapda bu gönüden-göni agzalmasa-da, onuň elinde iýilmeli bir kitabyň bolandygyna hem görmäge mümkinçilik berýär.

The angel had a hidden book in his hand. That prophetic logic is what Daniel represents when he chose to reject Babylonian food. That prophetic logic is what is necessary in order to see the formation of the image of the beast, for though we have been informed that there are “movements” and “events” that will be brought about in forming the image of the beast, we have also been informed that the movement for Sunday legislation is going on in “darkness.” We must have spiritual “night vision goggles” to be able to see their movements in the dark, for it is the formation of the image, but it is formed in “darkness”. It will only be recognized by the prophetic rules that the student of prophecy accepted when he recognized September 11, 2001, as a fulfillment of the arrival of the third Woe.

Perişdäniň elinde gizlin bir kitap bardy. Danieliň Wawilon naharyny ret etmegi bilen aňladýan şol pygamberlik mantygy şondan ybaratdyr. Haýwanyň keşbiniň emele gelişini görmek üçin hem hut şol pygamberlik mantygy zerurdyr, çünki bize haýwanyň keşbiniň emele getirilmeginde amala aşyryljak “hereketleriň” we “wakalaryň” bardygy habar berlen hem bolsa, ýekşenbe güni hakyndaky kanunçylyk hereketiniň “garaňkylykda” dowam edýändigi hem habar berildi. Garaňkylykda olaryň hereketlerini görüp bilmek üçin ruhy “gijeki görüş äýneklerine” eýe bolmalydyrys, çünki bu keşbiň emele gelişidir, ýöne ol “garaňkylykda” emele gelýär. Muny diňe pygamberlik okuwçysynyň 2001-nji ýylyň 11-nji sentýabryny üçünji Hasratyň gelşiniň berjaý bolşy hökmünde ykrar eden mahaly kabul eden pygamberlik kadalary arkaly tanap bolýar.

> “God has revealed what is to take place in the last days, that His people may be prepared to stand against the tempest of opposition and wrath. Those who have been warned of the events before them are not to sit in calm expectation of the coming storm, comforting themselves that the Lord will shelter His faithful ones in the day of trouble. We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance. While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should endeavor to disarm prejudice by placing ourselves in a proper light before the people. We should bring before them the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures and be able to give the reason for our faith. Says the prophet: ‘The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.’” Testimonies, volume 5, 452.

> “Hudaý Öz halkynyň garşylygyň we gazabyň tupanyna garşy durmaga taýýarlanmagy üçin ahyrky günlerde bolup geçjek zatlary aýan etdi. Öňlerinde duran wakalar barada duýduryş alanlar geljek tupana asuda garaşyp oturmaly däldirler, Reb kynçylyk gününde Öz sadyk gullaryny gorar diýip, özlerini köşeşdirmeli däldirler. Biz Rebimize garaşýan adamlar ýaly bolmalydyrys: bihuda garaşyşda däl-de, gaýratly işde, sarsmaz iman bilen. Häzir akyllarymyzyň ikinji derejeli zatlar bilen meşgul bolmagyna ýol bermegiň wagty däldir. Adamlar uklap ýatyrkalar, Şeýtan Rebbiň halkyna rehim ýa-da adalat görkezilmez ýaly ýagdaýlary işjeňlik bilen sazlaýar. Ýekşenbe hereketi häzir garaňkylykda öz ýoluny açýar. Ýolbaşçylar hakyky meseläni gizleýärler, we bu harekete goşulýanlaryň köpüsi akymyň gizlin ugrunyň nirä alyp barýandygyny özleri-de görmeýärler. Onuň beýanlary ýumşak we görnüşde mesihidir, emma ol geplemäge başlananda, aždahanyň ruhuny açyp görkezer. Howp salnan betbagtçylygyň öňüni almak üçin güýjümiziň ýetýän ähli zadyny etmek biziň borjumyzdyr. Halkyň öňünde özümizi degişli ýagdaýda goýup, öňýargyny ýaragsyzlandyrmaga çalyşmalydyrys. Wyždan azatlygyny çäklendirýän çäreleriň garşysyna iň täsirli garşylygy goýup, jedeliň hakyky meselesini olaryň öňüne getirmelidiris. Biz Mukaddes Ýazgylary derňäp öwrenmelidiris we imanymyzyň sebäbini düşündirip bilmelidiris. Pygamber şeýle diýýär: ‘Erbetler erbetlik ederler; erbetleriň hiç biri düşünmez; emma paýhaslylar düşünerler.’ Testimonies, 5-nji tom, 452.”

Daniel represents the “wise” who can see the movement for Sunday legislation, even though it is going on in “darkness.” He can do so, for he passed the dietary test, before the visual test. The visual test of the formation of the image of the beast takes place in “darkness.”

Danyýel “paýhaslylary” aňladýar; olar “garaňkylykda” bolup geçýän hem bolsa, ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanunçylygyň hereketini görüp bilýärler. Ol muny edip bilýär, çünki ol göz arkaly synagdan öň iýmit synagyndan geçdi. Haýwanyň keşbiniň emele gelmeginiň göz bilen bagly synagy “garaňkylykda” bolup geçýär.

We will begin our consideration of Daniel chapter two as the second angel’s message in the next article.

Danielyň ikinji bapyna ikinji perişdäniň habary hökmünde garamagymyza indiki makalada başlarys.

> And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16.

> Men körleri özleriniň bilmedik ýoly bilen getirerin; olary özleriniň tanamadyk ýodalarynda alyp bararyn; olaryň öňünde garaňkylygy ýagtylyga, egri zatlary bolsa göni ederin. Men bu işleri olar üçin ýerine ýetirerin we olary taşlamaryn. Işaýa 42:16.
