As we bring the consideration of the various controversies which have occurred in Advent history together line upon line in order to conclude our understanding of the current issue, we have taken selected attributes of five prophetic lines. The first line is also the last line, for both controversies were directly based upon verse fourteen of Daniel eleven’s “robbers of thy people.” We considered the controversies of Uriah Smith and James White and the controversy of “the daily”, in the book of Daniel. We considered the controversy that occurred after the unsealing of the last six verses of Daniel eleven in 1989, concerning the king of the north. We then considered the four insects of the book of Joel. There is so much more that might be added to each of these lines, but we are simply isolating certain characteristics that contributed to the positions that rejected the truths connected with the subject of Rome.

Häzirki meselä düşünişimizi jemlemek üçin, Advent taryhynda ýüze çykan dürli jedelleri setir üstüne setir getirip bir ýere jemlänimizde, biz bäş pygamberlik setiriniň saýlanyp alnan aýratynlyklaryny ele aldyk. Birinji setir şol bir wagtyň özünde soňky setirdir, çünki iki jedel hem gönüden-göni Danyýel on birinji bap, on dördünji aýatdaky “seniň halkyňyň talaňçylary” diýen beýanatyna esaslanýardy. Biz Uriýa Smit bilen Jeýms Waýtyň jedellerine hem-de Danyýel kitabyndaky “gündelik” baradaky jedele garadyk. Soňra 1989-njy ýylda Danyýel on birinji babyň soňky alty aýatynyň möhüriniň açylmagyndan soň, demirgazygyň patyşasy baradaky ýüze çykan jedeli garadyk. Ondan soň Ýoel kitabynyň dört mör-möjegini ele aldyk. Bu setirleriň hersine goşup boljak zatlar örän köp, emma biz diňe Rim baradaky mowzuk bilen baglanyşykly hakykatlary ret eden garaýyşlara goşant goşan käbir häsiýetleri aýratynlykda saýlap alýarys.

Five histories, but the first also being the last represents six lines. The prophetic setting for these lines of controversy is the last days, so for this reason the lines are to be applied during the test of the image of the beast.

Bäş taryh bar, ýöne birinjisiniň hem ahyryňkysy bolmagy alty setiri aňladýar. Bu jedel setirleriniň pygamberlik çäkleri soňky günlerdir; şonuň üçin hem bu setirler haýwanyň şekiliniň synagy döwründe ulanylmaly.

> “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. . ..

> Reb maňa aýdyň görkezdi welin, haýwanyň keşbi synag möhleti ýapylmazdan öň dörediler; çünki bu, Hudaý halky üçin beýik synag bolar, şonuň arkaly olaryň ebedi ykbaly kesgitlener....

> “This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

> “Bu, Hudaýyň halkynyň möhürlenmezinden ozal geçmeli synagydyr.” Manuscript Releases, 15-nji tom, 15.

The test of the formation of the image of the beast is, as with the other six lines of controversy a test concerning the prophetic subject of Rome. The great test that occurs before God’s people are sealed is about the formation of the image of the Roman beast. The beast is the papal power, and the United States forms an image of the papal power as it progresses to the soon-coming Sunday law.

Haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelmeginiň synagy, jedeliň beýleki alty ugrunda bolşy ýaly, pygamberlikdäki Rimiň mowzugy baradaky synagdyr. Hudaýyň halky möhürlenmezden öň bolup geçýän beýik synag, Rim haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelmegi hakyndadyr. Haýwan papalyk güýjüdir, we Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary ýakyn wagtda geljek ýekşenbe kanunyna tarap öňe gitdigiçe, papalyk güýjüniň bir şekilini emele getirýär.

> “In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.” The Great Controversy, 443.

> “Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň haýwanyň keşbini döretmegi üçin, dini güýç raýat hökümetine şeýle derejede gözegçilik etmeli welin, döwletiň ygtyýary hem öz maksatlaryny amala aşyrmak üçin ybadathana tarapyndan ulanylar.” Beýik Göreş, 443.

That Sunday law in the United States identifies that the image of the beast has been fully formed in the United States.

Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda şol ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanun, wagşy haýwanyň şekiliniň Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda doly kemala gelendigini görkezýär.

> “But in the very act of enforcing a religious duty by secular power, the churches would themselves form an image to the beast; hence the enforcement of Sundaykeeping in the United States would be an enforcement of the worship of the beast and his image.” The Great Controversy, 449.

> “Emma dini borjy dünýewi häkimiýet arkaly berjaý etdirmek işiniň edil özünde, ybadathanalar özleri jandaryň bir keşbini dörederler; şonuň üçin Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda ýekşenbe gününi mukaddes saklamagy mejbury etdirmek jandara we onuň keşbine ybadaty mejbury etdirmek bolar.” The Great Controversy, 449.

At the Sunday law, the image of the beast has been fully formed in the United States, and the United States is then fully disconnected from God and it begins its prophetic work of forcing the entire world to form an image of the beast. At the Sunday law in the United States, Satan begins his marvelous work in leading the nations of the world to repeat the process of forming an image of the beast that encompasses all the nations of the world.

Ýekşenbe kanuny wagtynda haýwanyň keşbi Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda doly kemala getirilendir, we şondan soň Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary Hudaýdan doly aýrylýar hem-de bütin dünýäni haýwanyň keşbini döretmäge mejbur etmek baradaky pygamberlik işine girişýär. Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda Ýekşenbe kanuny wagtynda Şeýtan dünýäniň milletlerini bütin dünýäniň ähli milletlerini öz içine alýan haýwanyň keşbini döretmek işini gaýtalamaga alyp barmakdaky ajaýyp işine başlaýar.

> “By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

> “Taňrynyň kanunyny bozup, Papalygyň guramasyny güýje girizýän perman arkaly biziň milletimiz özüni dogrulykdan doly aýrar. Protestantizm boşlugyň üstünden elini uzadyp, Rim häkimiýetiniň elini tutanda, ol girdabyň üstünden geçip, Spiritizm bilen el gysyşanda, şu üç taraplaýyn birleşigiň täsiri astynda biziň ýurdumyz Protestant we respublikan dolandyryş hökmünde öz Konstitusiýasynyň her bir ýörelgesini ret edip, papalyk ýalanlarynyň we aldanmalarynyň ýaýramagy üçin şert döredende, şonda biz Şeýtanyň ajaýyp işiniň wagtynyň gelendigini we ahyryň ýakyndygyny bilip bileris.” Testimonies, 5-nji tom, 451.

At the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, Satan, in cooperation with the United States, will force every nation to follow the example of the United States in forming a church and state system, and enforcing Sunday worship.

Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynda ýakyn wagtda kabul ediljek ýekşenbe güni baradaky kanun wagtynda Şeýtan, Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary bilen hyzmatdaşlykda, her bir milleti döwlet bilen ybadathananyň birleşen ulgamyny döretmekde we ýekşenbe güni ybadatyny mejbury ýerine ýetirmekde Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň göreldesine eýermäge mejbur eder.

> “Satan will work the miracles to deceive those who dwell upon the earth. Spiritualism will do its work by causing the dead to be personated. Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God’s messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God. This is that power which constitutes the great system of persecution which will exercise spiritual tyranny over the consciences of men.

> Şeýtan ýer ýüzünde ýaşaýanlary aldatmak üçin gudratlar görkezer. Spiritizm öz işini ölüleriň keşbine girilmegine sebäp bolmak arkaly ýerine ýetirer. Hudaýyň duýduryş habarlaryny diňlemekden ýüz öwürýän şol dini guramalar güýçli aldanmanyň astynda bolar we mukaddesleri yzarlamak üçin raýat häkimiýeti bilen birleşer. Protestant buthanalary Hudaýyň tabşyryklaryny ýerine ýetirýän halkyny yzarlamakda papalyk häkimiýeti bilen birleşer. Adamlaryň wyždanlarynyň üstünden ruhy zulumy amala aşyrjak yzarlamanyň beýik ulgamyny emele getirýän güýjüň hut şudur.

> “‘He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.’ Though professing to be followers of the Lamb of God, men become imbued with the spirit of the dragon. They profess to be meek and humble but they speak and legislate with the spirit of Satan, showing by their actions that they are the opposite of what they profess to be. This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. And Satan unites with Protestants and papists, acting in consort with them as the god of this world, dictating to men as if they were the subjects of his kingdom, to be handled and governed and controlled as he pleases.

> “‘Ol guzynyňky ýaly iki şahy bardy, emma aagondarha ýaly gepleýärdi.’ Adamlar Hudaýyň Guzusynyň yzyna eýerijilerdigini ykrar edýän bolsalar-da, aagondarhanyň ruhundan dolýarlar. Olar ýumşak häsiýetli we pesgöwünli olduklaryny ykrar edýärler, emma sözlerinde hem-de kanun çykaryşlarynda Şeýtanyň ruhy bilen gepleýärler we şeýlelik bilen, öz amallary arkaly ykrar edýän zatlarynyň düýbünden tersidigini görkezýärler. Guzynyňka meňzeş bu güýç, Hudaýyň tabşyryklaryny ýerine ýetirýänlere we Isa Mesihiň şaýatlygyna eýe bolanlara garşy uruş açmakda aagondarha bilen birleşýär. Şeýle hem Şeýtan Protestantlar we papistler bilen birleşip, bu dünýäniň hudaýy hökmünde olar bilen ylalaşykly hereket edýär, adamlara öz şalygynyň raýatlary ýaly buýruk berýär, edil olar onuň isleýşi ýaly ulanylmaly, dolandyrylmakly we gözegçilik astynda saklanylmakly ýaly.”

> “If men will not agree to trample underfoot the commandments of God, the spirit of the dragon is revealed. They are imprisoned, brought before councils, and fined. ‘He causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads’ [Revelation 13:16]. ‘He had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed’ [verse 15]. Thus Satan usurps the prerogatives of Jehovah. The man of sin sits in the seat of God, proclaiming himself to be God, and acting above God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 162.

> “Adamlar Hudaýyň buýruklaryny aýak astyna almaga razy bolmasalar, aagondaryň ruhy äşgär bolýar. Olar türmä basylýar, geňeşleriň öňüne getirilýär we jerime salynýar. ‘Ol hemme kişäni — kiçini-de ulusyny-da, baýy-da garyby-da, erkinini-de guluny-da — sag eline ýa-da maňlaýyna bir nyşan kabul etmäge mejbur edýär’ [Ylham 13:16]. ‘Ol haýwanyň şekiline jan bermäge ygtyýar aldy; şonuň üçin haýwanyň şekili gürläp bilerdi we haýwanyň şekiline sežde etmejekleriň barysynyň öldürilmegini hem üpjün ederdi’ [15-nji aýat]. Şeýlelikde Şeýtan Ýehowanyň diňe Özüne mahsus ygtyýarlyklaryny bikanun eýeleýär. Günäniň adamy Hudaýyň ornunda oturyp, özüni Hudaý diýip yglan edýär we Hudaýdan ýokary hereket edýär.” Manuscript Releases, 14-nji jilt, 162.

The papal power is the beast, the United Nations is the dragon and the United States is the false prophet. Those who become confused on the meaning of antichrist, who is both Satan and Satan’s earthly representative, the pope of Rome, will end up on the side of antichrist.

Papal häkimiýeti wagşy haýwandyr, Birleşen Milletler Guramasy aždarhadyr, Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary bolsa ýalançylyk pygamberidir. Antihirstiň manysy barada bulaşýanlar, ýagny hem Şeýtan, hem-de Şeýtanyň ýer ýüzündäki wekili bolan Rim papasy barada bulaşýanlar, ahyrsoňy antihristiň tarapynda ýerleşerler.

The United States is not the man of sin. The man of sin is the antichrist and he is Satan’s earthly representative. To confuse the power that places the papacy on the throne of the earth with the papacy is represented by Paul as evidence of not loving the truth. To reject the prophetic relationship of pagan Rome who restrained the papal power, until pagan Rome was removed, in order for the papal power to be revealed, as set forth in 2 Thessalonians chapter two, is to reject the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and accept the outpouring of the unholy spirit, which Paul identifies as strong delusion. That being said, each of the ancient prophets spoke more directly of the last days than the days in which they lived.

Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary günäniň adamy däldir. Günäniň adamy — antihristdir, ol bolsa Şeýtanyň ýerdäki wekili bolup durýar. Ýer ýüzüniň tagtyna papalygy oturdýan güýji papalyk bilen çalşyrmak, Pawlus tarapyndan hakykaty söýmeýändiginiň subutnamasy hökmünde görkezilýär. 2 Selanikliler, ikinji bapda beýan edilişi ýaly, butparaz Rimiň, papalyk güýjüni saklap durandygyny, butparaz Rim aýrylyp taşlanýança, papalyk güýjüniň aýan bolmagy üçin ýol bermändigini görkezýän pygamberlik gatnaşyklaryny inkär etmek, Mukaddes Ruhuň dökülmegini inkär edip, Pawlusyň güýçli azaşma diýip atlandyrýan haram ruhuň dökülmegini kabul etmekdir. Şeýle diýlende, gadymy pygamberleriň her biri öz ýaşan döwürlerinden has-da gönüden-göni ahyrky günler barada sözläpdir.

> “Each of the ancient prophets spoke less for their own time than for ours, so that their prophesying is in force for us. ‘Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ 1 Corinthians 10:11. ‘Not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.’ 1 Peter 1:12. . . .

> “Gadymy pygamberleriň her biri öz döwründen has köp biziň döwrümiz üçin gepledi, şonuň üçin olaryň pygamberlikleri biziň üçin güýjündedir. ‘Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ 1 Corinthians 10:11. ‘Not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.’ 1 Peter 1:12....”

> “The Bible has accumulated and bound up together its treasures for this last generation. All the great events and solemn transactions of Old Testament history have been, and are, repeating themselves in the church in these last days.” Selected Messages, book 3, 338, 339.

> “Mukaddes Kitap, hazinelerini bu son nesil için biriktirmiş ve bir araya bağlamıştır. Eski Ahit tarihinin bütün büyük olayları ve ciddi vakaları, bu son günlerde kilisede tekrar etmekte olmuş ve olmaktadır.” Selected Messages, book 3, 338, 339.

Pagan Rome and the man of sin in 2 Thessalonians represents the United States and papal Rome of the last days. To misunderstand this truth is to demonstrate, among other things, that even if a person claims to be basing their private interpretation upon the principle of “type and antitype,” they actually do not understand “type and antitype.” The United States has been typified by several powers in sacred history. Every two-horned power represents the United States in the last days, whether it be the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel, the Medo-Persian Empire, or atheistic France represented by Sodom and Egypt.

Butparaz Rim we 2 Selaniklilerdäki günäniň adamy ahyrzamanyň Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny we papalyk Rimini aňladýar. Bu hakykata nädogry düşünmek, beýleki zatlar bilen birlikde, bir adam öz şahsy düşündirişini “nusga we garşylyk” ýörelgesine esaslandyrýandygyny aýdýan bolsa-da, hakykatda “nusga we garşylygy” düşünmeýändigini görkezýär. Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary mukaddes taryhda birnäçe güýç arkaly nusgalandyrylandyr. Her bir iki şahly güýç, Israýylyň demirgazyk we günorta patyşalyklary bolsun, Midiýa-Pars imperiýasy bolsun, ýa-da Sodom we Müsür arkaly şekillendirilen hudaýsyz Fransiýa bolsun, ahyrzamanda Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny aňladýar.

The period when the United States forms an image of and to the beast has been typified by the iron and clay of Daniel two, and the little horn that manifests as male and female in Daniel eight as well as the prophets of Baal and priests of the grove in the witness of Elijah at Mount Carmel. Salome typifies the United States in the witness of Herod’s drunken birthday party. Pergamos typifies the United States and identifies the compromise that leads to Thyatira, which typifies the papal power of the last days.

Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň haýwana degişli we haýwanyň keşbini emele getirýän döwri, Danieliň ikinji babyndaky demir bilen palçyk arkaly, şeýle hem Danieliň sekizinji babyndaky erkek we aýal görnüşinde ýüze çykýan kiçi şah arkaly, üstesine-de Ylýasnyň Karmel dagyndaky şaýatlygyndaky Baalyň pygamberleri we tokaýlygyň ruhanylary arkaly öňden nyşanlanandyr. Salome, Hirodesiň serhoş doglan gün toýundaky şaýatlykda Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny nyşanlaýar. Pergamos Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny nyşanlaýar we soňky günleriň papalyk güýjüni nyşanlaýan Tiatira alyp barýan ylalaşygy aýan edýär.

Clovis, king of the Franks in 496, typifies the United States in the Ronald Reagan era. Justinian in 533 represents Donald Trump in advance of the Sunday law. In each typification the United States represents the power that bows in submission to the papal power of the last days. The power who bows in submission is represented as paying homage to Rome. The act of ‘homage” includes bowing to the king, who is the head.

496-njy ýylda franklaryň patyşasy Klowis Ronald Reýgan döwründäki Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň nyşanydyr. 533-nji ýylda Ýustinian ýekşenbe kanunyndan öňden Donald Trampy aňladýar. Her bir nyşanlykda Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary soňky günleriň papalyk häkimiýetine tabyn bolup boýun egýän güýji görkezýär. Boýun egip tabyn bolýan güýç Rime hormat-sarpa görkezýän hökmünde şekillendirilýär. “Hormat-sarpa” etmek işi baş, ýagny başlyk bolan patyşanyň öňünde baş egmegi öz içine alýar.

> "It has been shown that the United States is the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns, and that this prophecy will be fulfilled when the United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy. But in this homage to the papacy the United States will not be alone. The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her dominion is still far from being destroyed. And prophecy foretells a restoration of her power. ‘I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.’ Verse 3. The infliction of the deadly wound points to the downfall of the papacy in 1798.

> Birleşen Ştatlaryň guzy ýaly şahly wagşy haýwan bilen şekillendirilen güýçdügi we bu pygamberligiň Birleşen Ştatlar Rimiň öz hökmürowanlygynyň aýratyn ykrary diýip ileri sürýän ýekşenbe gününe hormat goýmagy mejbury edende ýerine ýetjekdigi görkezildi. Emma papalyga görkeziljek bu tagzymda Birleşen Ştatlar ýeke bolmaz. Bir wagtlar onuň agalygyny ykrar eden ýurtlardaky Rimiň täsiri heniz ýok edilenok. Pygamberlik bolsa onuň güýjüniň täzeden dikeldiljekdigini öňünden aýdýar. “Onuň kelleleriniň biriniň ölümçe ýaralanan ýalydygyny gördüm; we onuň ölümli ýarasy sagaldy: bütin dünýä wagşy haýwanyň yzyndan haýran bolup gitdi.” Aýat 3. Ölümli ýaranyň urulmagy 1798-nji ýylda papalygyň pese gaçmagyny görkezýär.

> "After this, says the prophet, ‘his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.’ Paul states plainly that the ‘man of sin’ will continue until the second advent. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8. To the very close of time he will carry forward the work of deception. And the revelator declares, also referring to the papacy: ‘All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life.’ Revelation 13:8. In both the Old and the New World, the papacy will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution, that rests solely upon the authority of the Roman Church." The Great Controversy, 578.

> “Mundan soň, pygamber şeýle diýýär: ‘onuň ölümli ýarasy sagaldy; we bütin dünýä haýwanyň yzyndan haýran galyp gitdi.’ Pawlus ‘günä adamsynyň’ ikinji gelişe çenli dowam etjekdigini açyk aýdýar. 2 Salonikliler 2:3-8. Ol zamanyň ahyryna çenli aldaw işini dowam etdirer. Şeýle hem, Ylham ýazary papalyga salgylanyp şeýle yglan edýär: ‘ýerde ýaşaýanlaryň hemmesi, atlary ýaşaýyş kitabynda ýazylmadyk bolanlar, oňa sežde ederler.’ Ylham 13:8. Hem Köne, hem-de Täze Dünýäde, papalyk diňe Rim Ybadathanasynyň ygtyýaryna esaslanýan ýekşenbe institutyna görkezilen hormat arkaly tagzym kabul eder.” Beýik Jedel, 578.

The last sentence provides more evidence that Sister White understood the expression, “old world” to represent Europe, and the “new world” to represent the Americas. That being as it is, the United States pays homage to the papal power and forces the rest of the world to do the same. This identifies the United States as in subjection to the directions of the papal power. Isaiah’s identification and emphasis upon understanding the “head” in order to be established finds its divine purpose in that the symbol “head,” becomes a key to understand the external line of prophecy, and also the internal line of prophecy.

Soňky sözlem Waýt uýanyň “köne dünýä” diýen aňlatma bilen Ýewropany, “täze dünýä” diýen aňlatma bilen bolsa Amerikalary göz öňünde tutandygyna has köp subutnama berýär. Şeýle bolanda, Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary papalyk häkimiýetine tagzym edýär we dünýäniň galan bölegini hem şony etmäge mejbur edýär. Bu bolsa Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň papalyk häkimiýetiniň görkezmelerine tabynlykda durýandygyny aýdyň görkezýär. Işaýanyň “baş”a düşünmegiň, berkidilmek üçin zerurdygyny kesgitlemegi we oňa beren aýratyn nygtawy öz ylahy maksadyny şunda tapýar: “baş” nyşany daşky pygamberlik çyzygyna düşünmek üçin hem, içki pygamberlik çyzygyna düşünmek üçin hem açar bolýar.

> For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isaiah 7:8, 9.

> Çünki Suriýanyň başy Damaskdyr, Damaskyň başy bolsa Rezindir; altmyş bäş ýylyň içinde Efraýym halk bolmaz ýaly döwlüp ýok ediler. Efraýymyň başy Samariýadyr, Samariýanyň başy bolsa Remalýanyň ogludyr. Eger iman etmeseňiz, elbetde berk durup bilmersiňiz. Işaýa 7:8, 9.

In the last days, which is when every prophet’s testimony is in force, the “robbers of thy people” establish the vision. Upon the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy, and in agreement with the foundational truths of Adventism, as represented upon the two sacred charts of Habakkuk, the “robbers,” are a symbol of Rome. When pagan Rome inserted itself into history for the first time in 200 BC, they typified modern Rome of the last days. This prophetic truth is what establishes the prophetic vision of the last days, and if you refuse to see that modern Rome’s “head” is the papal power, then surely you will not be established.

Soňky günlerde, ýagny her bir pygamberiň şaýatlygy öz güýjünde bolan döwürde, «seniň halkyňdaky garakçylar» görnüşi berkidýärler. Pygamberlik Ruhunyň ygtyýary bilen hem-de Habakkugyň iki mukaddes çyzgysynda şöhlelendirilişi ýaly, Adventizmiň düýpli hakykatlaryna laýyklykda, «garakçylar» Rimiň nyşanydyr. Butparaz Rim b.e. öň 200-nji ýylda taryha ilkinji gezek aralaşanda, olar soňky günleriň häzirki zaman Riminiň nusgasy boldular. Ine, soňky günleriň pygamberlik görnüşini berkidýän şu pygamberlik hakykatydyr; eger sen häzirki zaman Riminiň «kellesiniň» papalyk güýjüdigini görmekden ýüz öwürseň, onda, gürrüňsiz, sen berkidilmersiň.

> “The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.

> “Dünýä tupan, uruş we agzalalyk bilen doludyr. Şeýle-de bolsa, bir başlygyň — papalyk häkimiýetiniň — astynda adamlar Hudaýa, Onuň şaýatlarynyň şahsynda garşy çykmak üçin birleşerler.” Testimonies, 7-nji tom, 182.

If you have ears to hear, then you may understand that a primary failing of the Jews of Christ’s era was that they identified the “shadow” as the “substance.” The Jews before and after the cross trusted in the types of their system of worship, and rejected the Antitype. They argued that the “shadow” was the “substance”, and in doing so they left in the inspired record, a people in the last days who will also identify the shadow as the substance.

Eger-de eşitmäge gulaklaryň bar bolsa, onda sen Mesihiň döwründäki ýehudylaryň esasy büdremeleriniň biriniň “kölegäni” “asyl mazmun” hökmünde tanamak bolandygyna düşünip bilersiň. Haçdan öňem, soňam ýehudylar özleriniň ybadat ulgamynyň nusgalaryna bil bagladylar we Antitipi ret etdiler. Olar “kölegäniň” “asyl mazmun”dygyny öňe sürdüler, şeýle etmek bilen hem ylhamlanan ýazgyda soňky günlerde kölegäni hem asyl mazmun hökmünde tanajak bir halky galdyrdylar.

When the United States forms an image to the beast, they are forming a shadow of the beast. They are forming a shadow of the substance, for an image is a typification. To identify the United States, when it forms the image of the beast, as the symbol of Modern Rome, is to parallel ancient Israel’s rejection and crucifixion of the Great Antitype.

Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary wagşy haýwanyň keşbini döreden wagtynda, olar wagşy haýwanyň kölegesini döredýärler. Olar mazmunyň kölegesini döredýärler, çünki keşp bir nusgalaşdyrmadyr. Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny, ol wagşy haýwanyň keşbini döreden wagtynda, Häzirki Zamanyň Rimiň nyşany hökmünde tanamak, gadymy Ysraýylyň Beýik Antitipi ret edip haça çüýlemegi bilen deňeşdirmekdir.

Those teaching the flawed view that the United States is the robbers of thy people speak much about their use of type and antitype, and they often identify the United States as the image of the beast and somehow think that by identifying the United States as the image of the beast somehow proves the United States is “the robbers.” If they truly allowed themselves to be governed by the basic principles of “type and antitype” they would quickly see that the prophetic role of the United States which has been repeatedly typified in God’s Word identifies the United States as the power that is in subjection to the papal authority. They would see that without the beast as the point of reference, it is absurd to identify an image to the beast that did not exist. The only thing which can define the image of the beast, is the beast itself, for the papal power is what establishes the image in the looking glass vision.

Halkyňyň talaňçylary hökmünde Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny görkezýän ýalňyş garaýşy öwredýänler “nusga we onuň garşylygy” baradaky ulanyşlary hakynda köp gürrüň edýärler, hem-de olar köplenç Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny haýwanyň keşbi diýip kesgitleýärler we nädipdir bir ýol bilen Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlaryny haýwanyň keşbi diýip kesgitlemegiň onuň “talaňçylardygyny” subut edýär diýip hasap edýärler. Eger olar hakykatdan-da özlerini “nusga we onuň garşylygy” diýen esasy ýörelgeler arkaly dolandyrmaga ýol beren bolsalar, onda tizden-tiz Hudaýyň Sözünde gaýtalanyp nusgalanan Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň pygamberlikdäki ornunyň, onuň papalyk häkimiýetine tabyn edilen güýçdigini kesgitleýändigini görerdiler. Olar salgylanma nokady hökmünde haýwan bolmazdan, ýok bolan haýwana degişli bir keşbi kesgitlemegiň bimanydygyny görerdiler. Haýwanyň keşbini kesgitläp biljek ýeke-täk zat, haýwanyň özüdür, çünki papalyk güýji gözgi görnüşindäki görünişde şol keşbi berkarar edýän zaddyr.

The parallel line of prophecy to the United States forming an image of the beast is when the horn of true Protestantism forms an image of Christ. That formation is specifically identified in Daniel chapter ten, when Daniel beholds the “marah,” vision, which is the “looking glass” vision. Daniel represents those who behold Christ, and in so doing they reflect Christ’s character. If the vision of Christ was not presented to Daniel, he would have been unable to reflect the character of Christ. In order for the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are represented by Daniel in chapter ten of forming an image of Christ within, they must behold His character. By beholding they are changed.

Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň ýyrtyjynyň keşbini emele getirişi baradaky pygamberligiň oňa kybapdaş ugry, hakyky protestantizmiň şahasy Mesihe degişli bir keşbi emele getirýän pursadydyr. Şol emele geliş aýratynlykda Daniýel kitabynyň onunjy babynda kesgitlenýär; şol ýerde Daniýel “marah”, ýagny “aýna” görnüşindäki görnüşi görýär. Daniýel Mesihe nazar salýanlary aňladýar, we olar şeýle etmek bilen Mesihiň häsiýetini şöhlelendirýärler. Eger Mesih baradaky görnüş Daniýele görkezilmedik bolsa, ol Mesihiň häsiýetini şöhlelendirmäge ukyply bolmazdy. Mesihe degişli bir keşbi öz içinde emele getirýän, onunjy bapda Daniýel arkaly wekil edilýän bir ýüz kyrk dört müň adam Onuň häsiýetine nazar salmalydyr. Nazar salmak arkaly olar özgertilýärler.

> But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18.

> Emma biziň hemmämiz açyk ýüz bilen, aýna seredýän ýaly, Rebbiň şöhratyna syn edip, Rebbiň Ruhy arkaly şöhratdan şöhrata şol bir keşbe öwrülýäris. 2 Korinflilere 3:18.

The Hebrew definition of the “marah” vision which Daniel beheld in chapter ten is “a vision; also (causatively) a mirror: —looking glass, vision.” The Greek word translated as glass in the previous verse is to mirror oneself, that is, to see reflected (figuratively): —behold as in a glass.

Danyýlyň onunjy bapda gören “marah” görnüşiniň ýewreýçe kesgitlemesi şeýle: “bir görnüş; şeýle hem (sebäp ediji manyda) aýna: — seredilýän aýna, görnüş.” Öňki aýatda “aýna” diýip terjime edilen grek sözi özüni aýnada görkezmek, ýagny şöhlelenmesini görmek (göçme manyda) diýmekdir: — aýnada gören ýaly synlamak.

James also sets forth a line of truth connected with the looking glass.

Ýakup hem aýna bilen baglanyşykly hakykatyň bir ugruny beýan edýär.

> For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 1:23–25.

> Çünki kim sözü eşidip-de ony ýerine ýetiriji bolmasa, ol aýnada özüniň tebigy ýüzüni synlaýan adama meňzär. Çünki ol özüne sereder-de, gidip, nähili adamdygyny bada-bat unudar. Emma kim azatlygyň kämil kanunyna seredip, onda dowam etse, ol unutgan eşidiji däl-de, işi ýerine ýetiriji bolup, eden işinde bereketli bolar. Ýakup 1:23–25.

If we love the truth, and we are therefore a doer of the Word, then the looking glass we behold is the perfect law of liberty, then if we do not love the truth, and thereafter go our own way, as those with Daniel did when they fled, then the looking glass is simply a reflection of ourselves.

Eger biz hakykaty söýýän bolsak we şonuň üçin Sözüň ýerine ýetirijisi bolsak, onda biziň seredýän aýnamyz azatlygyň kämil kanunydyr; ýöne eger biz hakykaty söýmeýän bolsak we ondan soň, Danyýel bilen bolanlaryň gaçyp gidişi ýaly, öz ýolumyz bilen gitsek, onda aýna diňe özümiziň beýanymyzdan başga zat däldir.

> “God’s law is the mirror presenting a complete reflection of the man as he is, and holding up before him the correct likeness. Some will turn away and forget this picture, while others will employ abusive epithets against the law, as though this would cure their defects of character. Still others who are condemned by the law will repent of their transgressions and, through faith in Christ’s merits, will perfect Christian character.” Faith and Works, 31.

> “Hudanyň kanuny adamyň nähili bolsa, şonuň doly beýanyny görkezýän aýnadyr we onuň öňünde dogry keşbi saklap görkezýär. Käbirleri bu suratdan ýüz öwrerler-de, ony unudarlar; beýlekiler bolsa, öz häsiýet kemçiliklerini bejerer öýdüp, kanuna garşy kemsidiji lakamlar ulanarlar. Emma kanun tarapyndan ýazgarylýan başga käbirleri öz günälerinden toba ederler we Mesihiň hyzmatlarynyň artykmaçlyklaryna iman arkaly mesihi häsiýeti kämilleşdirerler.” Faith and Works, 31.

Daniel did not see himself in the looking glass vision, He saw Christ, who is the perfect representation of James’ perfect law of liberty.

Danyýel seredýän aýna görnüşindäki görnüşde özüni görmedi; ol Mesihi gördi, ol bolsa Ýakubyň azatlygyň kämil kanunynyň doly beýanydyr.

> “Christ’s life on earth is a perfect reflection of the divine law. In Him is life and hope and light. Behold Him, and you will be changed into the same likeness, from character to character.” Signs of the Times, May 10, 1910.

> “Mesihiň ýer ýüzündäki ýaşaýşy ylahy kanunyň kämil şöhlelenmesidir. Onda ýaşaýyş, umyt we nur bardyr. Oňa serediň, we siz häsiýetden häsiýete çenli şol bir meňzeşlige öwrülersiňiz.” Signs of the Times, 1910-njy ýylyň 10-njy maýy.

The image of the beast reflects the beast, and the formation of the image of the beast is the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. When the Protestant churches take control of the government of the United States, they will have formed an image of the church state system which the papal power has always employed. In the same period of time the image of Christ will be produced in His last-day people. Yet, those that were with Daniel saw not the vision, for they fled from the vision.

Haýwanyň şekili haýwany şöhlelendirýär, we haýwanyň şekiliniň emele gelmegi Hudaýyň halky üçin beýik synagdyr; şol synag arkaly olaryň baky ykbaly kesgitlener. Protestant ybadathanalary Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň hökümetine gözegçiligi ele alanlarynda, olar papalyk güýjüniň hemişe ulanyp gelen ybadathana-döwlet ulgamynyň bir şekilini emele getiren bolarlar. Şol bir döwürde Mesihiň şekili hem Onuň ahyrky günlerdäki halkynda ýüze çykarylar. Şeýle-de bolsa, Daniýel bilen bolanlar wahýy görmediler, çünki olar wahýydan gaçyp gitdiler.

The formation of the image of Christ produces a manifestation of two classes of worshippers. One class rejects the principle of reflection. The principle of reflection being represented by a mirror, for Christ employs the literal earthly things to represent spiritual heavenly truths.

Mesihiň keşbiniň kemala gelmegi, sežde edýänleriň iki toparynyň ýüze çykmagyna sebäp bolýar. Bir topar şöhlelendirme ýörelgesini ret edýär. Şöhlelendirme ýörelgesi aýna arkaly şekillendirilýär, çünki Mesih ruhy asman hakykatlaryny beýan etmek üçin göni manydaky ýer ýüzüne degişli zatlary ulanýar.

> “In Christ’s parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ’s teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.

> Mesihiň tymsallary arkaly beren taglymatynda hem Onuň dünýä iberilen öz wezipesindäki şol bir ýörelge görünýär. Biz Onuň ylahy häsiýeti we ýaşaýşy bilen tanyş bolaly diýip, Mesih biziň tebigatymyzy kabul etdi we aramyzda ýaşady. Ylahylyk ynsanlykda aýan edildi; görünmeýän şöhrat görünýän ynsan keşbinde görkezildi. Adamlar mälim bolan arkaly näbelli hakda öwrenip bilýärdiler; asmanyň zatlary ýer ýüzündäki zatlar arkaly aýan edilýärdi; Hudaý ynsan sypatynda äşgär edildi. Mesihiň taglymatynda hem şeýle boldy: näbelli mälim bolan arkaly düşündirildi; ylahy hakykatlar bolsa halkyň iň gowy tanaýan ýer ýüzündäki zatlary arkaly beýan edildi.

> “The Scripture says, ‘All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; … that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.’ Matthew 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 17.

> Mukaddes Ýazgy şeýle diýýär: «Isa bu zatlaryň ählisini märekä tymsallar arkaly aýtdy; … pygamber tarapyndan aýdylan sözüň ýerine ýetmegi üçin şeýle diýildi: Agzymy tymsallar bilen açaryn; dünýäniň düýbi tutulaly bäri gizlin saklanyp gelnen zatlary aýdaryn». Matta 13:34, 35. Tebigy zatlar ruhy hakykatlaryň beýan edilmeginiň serişdesi boldy; tebigatyň zatlary we Ony diňleýänleriň durmuş tejribesi ýazylan Sözüň hakykatlary bilen baglanyşdyryldy. Şeýlelik bilen, tebigydan ruhy patyşalyga tarap ýol görkezmek arkaly, Mesihiň tymsallary adamy Hudaý bilen, ýeri hem asman bilen birleşdirýän hakykat zynjyryndaky baglanyşyk halkalarydyr. «Christ’s Object Lessons», 17.

The spiritual principle of reflection is accomplished by looking into a mirror that represents Christ, and because the “marah” vision is a causative vision, the image of Christ in the mirror, produces the image of Christ in humanity.

Ruhy şöhlelenme ýörelgesi, Mesihe wekilçilik edýän aýna garamak arkaly amala aşyrylýar; hem-de “marah” görnüşi sebäp dörediji görnüş bolandygy sebäpli, aýnadaky Mesihiň keşbi adamzadda Mesihiň keşbini emele getirýär.

To claim the United States is what establishes the vision, is to claim that the image of Daniel is what establishes Christ. Christ is what establishes the vision of His character and work, and the antichrist is what establishes the vision of his character and work. The vision is what is reflected with the looking glass, and the vision is established by the robbers. To misunderstand an image of a beast, by identifying the image as the actual beast, produces parallel lines.

Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlarynyň görgüni berkidýändigini öňe sürmek, Danieliň heýkeliniň Mesihi berkidýändigini öňe sürmek bilen deňdir. Mesih Öz häsiýetiniň we işiniň görgünini berkidýändir, antimesih bolsa öz häsiýetiniň we işiniň görgünini berkidýändir. Görgün seredilýän aýnada şöhlelenýän zatdyr, we görgün talaňçylar tarapyndan berkidilýär. Haýwanyň bir keşbini, şol keşbi hakyky haýwan diýip kesgitlemek arkaly nädogry düşünmek, parallel çyzyklary emele getirýär.

The unconverted man sees himself in the mirror, or if he does see God’s law, he throws contempt upon the law in an attempt to avoid its claims. A converted man sees Christ and His law in the looking glass. The United States forms an image to the papal power by beholding the papal power and duplicating it. The antichrist is duplicated by the United States.

Özgermedik adam özüni aýnada görýär, ýa-da Hudaýyň kanunyny görse-de, onuň talaplaryndan gaçmaga synanyşyp, şol kanuna äsgermezçilik edýär. Özgerdilen adam bolsa, seredilýän aýnada Mesihi we Onuň kanunyny görýär. Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary papalyk häkimiýetine seredip, ony gaýtalap, papalyk häkimiýetiniň bir keşbini döredýär. Antimesih Amerikanyň Birleşen Ştatlary tarapyndan gaýtalanýar.

Lucifer desired to be seated upon God’s political and religious thrones.

Lýusifer Hudaýyň syýasy we dini tagtlarynda oturmagy arzuw etdi.

> How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Ezekiel 14:12–14.

> Eý, daň ýyldyzy, ertiriň ogly, sen asmanyňdan nähili ýykyldyñ! Milletleri ejizleden sen ýere nähili ýere çalynyp taşlandyň! Çünki sen öz ýüregiňde diýdiň: Men asmana çykararyn, tagtymy Hudaýyň ýyldyzlarynyň üstünden belentlederin; men ýygnagyň dagynda, demirgazygyň çetlerinde oturaryn; bulutlaryň belentliklerinden ýokary çykararyn; Gudraty Güýçlü ýaly bolaryn. Ezekiel 14:12–14.

Satan is the antichrist, and so too is the papal power. The papal power was seated in the church and reigned over the political thrones of Europe. The causative looking glass of Daniel chapter ten, when seen in its spiritual application, transforms those who behold into the image of Christ. That truth governs the line of the antichrist. When a nation or an individual looks into the looking glass vision it produces a causative effect, as it reproduces its image in either the individual or nation who beholds it and that produces either the image of Christ or the image of the beast. It parallels the same effect represented by Daniel. Christ is what established the vision for Daniel, and the antichrist establishes the vision for the United States when it forms an image of the beast.

Şeýtan garşy-Mesihdir, papalyk häkimiýeti hem şonuň ýaly. Papalyk häkimiýeti ybadathanada orun aldy we Ýewropanyň syýasy tagtlarynyň üstünden höküm sürdü. Daniel kitabynyň onunjy babyndaky sebäp dörediji aýna, onuň ruhy ulanylyşynda görülende, oňa seredýänleri Mesihiň keşbine öwürýär. Şol hakykat garşy-Mesihiň çyzygyny dolandyrýar. Haçan-da bir millet ýa-da bir şahs şol aýna görnüşine seretse, ol sebäp dörediji täsir emele getirýär, çünki ol öz keşbini oňa seredýän şahsyň ýa-da milletiň içinde gaýtadan döredýär; munuň netijesinde ýa Mesihiň keşbi, ýa-da haýwanyň keşbi emele gelýär. Bu Daniel arkaly görkezilen şol bir täsire laýyk gelýär. Daniel üçin görnüşi Mesih berkarar etdi, Birleşen Ştatlar haýwanyň keşbini emele getirende bolsa, görnüşi garşy-Mesih berkarar edýär.
