The second generation of Laodicean Adventism arrived in 1888, and that generation is symbolically represented in Ezekiel chapter eight, as the second abomination, which is represented by the “chambers of his imagery.”

Laodikeyachi Adventizmning ikkinchi avlodi 1888-yilda yetib keldi va o‘sha avlod Hizqiyol kitobining sakkizinchi bobida ramziy tarzda ikkinchi jirkanchlik sifatida, ya’ni “uning tasvirlari xonalari” bilan ifodalangan.

> So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth. Ezekiel 8:10–12.

> Shunda men ichkariga kirdim va ko‘rdim; va mana, sudralib yuruvchi maxluqotlarning har xil surati, jirkanch hayvonlar va Isroil xonadonining barcha butlari devor bo‘ylab atroflicha tasvirlangan edi. Ularning oldida Isroil xonadoni oqsoqollaridan yetmish kishi turar edi, va ularning o‘rtasida Shofon o‘g‘li Yo‘azaniyo turardi; har bir kishining qo‘lida o‘z tutatqisi bor edi, va qalin tutatqi buluti yuqoriga ko‘tarilar edi. Shunda U menga dedi: “Ey inson o‘g‘li, Isroil xonadoni oqsoqollari zulmatda, har biri o‘z xayolot xonalarida nima qilayotganini ko‘rdingmi? Chunki ular: ‘Egamiz bizni ko‘rmaydi; Egamiz yerni tark etgan’, deydilar”. Hizqiyo 8:10–12.

The chambers of imagery represent the wicked secrets within the hearts of those represented as the ancient men, and they have brought that very wickedness into not only the chambers of their minds, but also into the chambers of God’s sanctuary.

Tasvir xonalari qadimiy kishilar sifatida tasvirlanganlarning qalblaridagi yovuz sirlarni ifodalaydi, va ular ayni o‘sha yovuzlikni nafaqat o‘z tafakkurlarining xonalariga, balki Xudoning muqaddas maskanining xonalariga ham olib kirganlar.

> Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. Proverbs 23:6, 7.

> Yomon ko‘zli odamning nonini yema, uning tansiq taomlarini ham orzu qilma; chunki u yuragida qanday o‘ylasa, o‘zi ham shundaydir: “Ye va ich”, deydi u senga; ammo uning yuragi sen bilan emas. Hikmatlar 23:6, 7.

The wickedness of the chambers of imagery is written both on the walls of the temple and the walls of the ancient men’s minds. The secret chambers of imagery of the second abomination of Ezekiel chapter eight, represent the second generation of Laodicean Adventism, and of the four abominations the second abomination takes more time to emphasize a corporate rebellion, although all four abominations are represented as being carried out by the men who were supposed to be the guardians of the people.

Tasvirlar xonalarining yovuzligi ham ma’bad devorlariga, ham qadimgi erkaklarning ong devorlariga yozilgandir. Hizqiyol kitobining sakkizinchi bobidagi ikkinchi jirkanchlikning tasvirlar bilan to‘la maxfiy xonalari Laodikeya Adventizmining ikkinchi avlodini ifodalaydi, va to‘rtta jirkanchlik ichida ikkinchi jirkanchlik jamoaviy isyonni ta’kidlash uchun ko‘proq vaqt ajratadi, garchi to‘rtta jirkanchlikning barchasi xalqning qo‘riqchilari bo‘lishi lozim bo‘lgan erkaklar tomonidan amalga oshirilayotgan tarzda tasvirlangan bo‘lsa-da.

> “The mark of deliverance has been set upon those ‘that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done.’ Now the angel of death goes forth, represented in Ezekiel’s vision by the men with the slaughtering weapons, to whom the command is given: ‘Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.’ Says the prophet: ‘They began at the ancient men which were before the house.’ Ezekiel 9:1–6. The work of destruction begins among those who have professed to be the spiritual guardians of the people. The false watchmen are the first to fall. There are none to pity or to spare. Men, women, maidens, and little children perish together.” The Great Controversy, 656.

> “Najot belgisi ‘qilinayotgan barcha jirkanchliklar ustidan oh tortib, faryod qiladiganlar’ ustiga qo‘yilgan. Endi o‘lim farishtasi oldinga chiqadi; u Hizqiyolning vahiyidagi qirg‘in qurollarini ko‘targan kishilar orqali tasvirlangan bo‘lib, ularga shunday amr beriladi: ‘Qarini ham, yoshni ham, qizlarni ham, yosh bolalarni ham, ayollarni ham tamoman qirib tashlanglar; ammo ustida belgi bor biror kishiga yaqinlashmanglar; va Mening ma’badimdan boshlanglar.’ Payg‘ambar deydi: ‘Ular uy oldida turgan oqsoqollardan boshladilar.’ Hizqiyol 9:1–6. Vayron qilish ishi xalqning ma’naviy qo‘riqchilari ekanliklarini da’vo qilganlar orasidan boshlanadi. Soxta soqchilar birinchi bo‘lib yiqiladilar. Achinishga ham, ayab qolishga ham hech kim yo‘q. Erkaklar, ayollar, qizlar va yosh bolalar birgalikda halok bo‘ladilar.” Buyuk kurash, 656.

The rebellion that marks the arrival of the second generation is specifically associated with the leadership of Laodicean Adventism, as fulfilled at the 1888 General Conference meeting in Minneapolis. It is represented by the expression “ancients of the house of Israel” and also by the “seventy men.” It was seventy elders that were associated with the work of Moses, and Jesus’ second group of disciples consisted of seventy men. “Seventy” represents leadership, as does “the ancients.” The second abomination places an extra emphasis upon the leadership, and in so doing it places the emphasis upon the abomination as being associated with a corporate rebellion of the leadership.

Ikkinchi avlodning kelishini belgilovchi isyon, ayniqsa, Minneapolisdagi 1888-yilgi Bosh Konferensiya yig‘ilishida amalga oshganidek, Laodikeya Adventizmining rahbariyati bilan bog‘liqdir. Bu “Isroil xonadonining oqsoqollari” degan ifoda bilan, shuningdek, “yetmish kishi” orqali ifodalanadi. Musoning ishi bilan bog‘liq bo‘lganlar yetmish oqsoqol edi, va Isoning ikkinchi shogirdlar guruhi yetmish kishidan iborat edi. “Yetmish” rahbarlikni anglatadi, xuddi “oqsoqollar” ham shuni anglatgani kabi. Ikkinchi jirkanchlik rahbariyatga alohida urg‘u beradi va shu orqali bu jirkanchlikning rahbariyatning jamoaviy isyoni bilan bog‘liq ekaniga urg‘u beradi.

In the midst of the seventy ancient men stood “Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan.” The name “Jaazaniah,” means “heard of God”, and he represents a leadership that rebelled at the very time that God was speaking, for he heard God, but refused to listen, for he professed that God had forsaken his people, and that God did not see what was happening in the secret chambers. Jaazaniah was the “son of Shaphan,” and the name “Shaphan” means “to hide”. The setting of the second generation represents a rebellion of the leadership that rebelled in the very time when God was speaking, and they believed that God did not see or care about their actions.

Yetmish qadimgi kishining o‘rtasida “Shafanning o‘g‘li Yaazaniyo” turardi. “Yaazaniyo” ismi “Xudo tomonidan eshitilgan” degan ma’noni anglatadi va u Xudo aynan gapirayotgan paytda isyon qilgan bir rahbarlikni ifodalaydi; chunki u Xudoni eshitgan edi, biroq quloq solishni rad etdi, negaki u Xudo O‘z xalqini tark etganini va maxfiy xonalarda sodir bo‘layotgan narsalarni Xudo ko‘rmasligini da’vo qilgan edi. Yaazaniyo “Shafanning o‘g‘li” edi, “Shafan” ismi esa “yashirmoq” degan ma’noni anglatadi. Ikkinchi avlod manzarasi, Xudo aynan gapirayotgan paytda isyon qilgan va Xudo ularning ishlarini ko‘rmaydi hamda ularga parvo qilmaydi, deb ishongan rahbarlikning isyonini ifodalaydi.

Sister White recorded that she was shown the conversations of the leadership of Laodicean Adventism during the 1888 General Conference. At the 1888 General Conference God showed Sister White the meetings of the leaders which they had among themselves when they thought God was not listening. There in the secrecy of their rooms they spoke evil against Sister White, her son, and Elders Jones and Waggoner. They believed they could speak freely, for God could not see them in their private quarters, but God showed these very conversations to the prophetess. They were in a corporate meeting, and according to inspiration they were hearing the message of the latter rain, but they refused to hear.

Opa Uayt 1888-yildagi Bosh konferensiya vaqtida Laodikiya Adventizmi rahbariyatining o‘zaro suhbatlari unga ko‘rsatilganini qayd etgan. 1888-yildagi Bosh konferensiyada Xudo Opa Uaytga rahbarlarning Xudo tinglamayapti, deb o‘ylagan paytlarida o‘zaro qilgan yig‘ilishlarini ko‘rsatdi. O‘sha yerda, xonalarining maxfiyligida, ular Opa Uaytga, uning o‘g‘liga hamda oqsoqollar Jons va Vaggonerga qarshi yomon gapirdilar. Ular erkin gapira olamiz, deb ishondilar, chunki Xudo ularni o‘z shaxsiy xonalarida ko‘ra olmaydi, deb o‘yladilar, ammo Xudo aynan shu suhbatlarning o‘zini payg‘ambar ayolga ko‘rsatdi. Ular jamoaviy yig‘ilishda edilar va ilhomga ko‘ra ular kechki yomg‘ir xabarini eshitayotgan edilar, biroq eshitishdan bosh tortdilar.

What was it that had produced a leadership that manifested such open rebellion in 1888, that Sister White compared it to the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram?

1888 yilda Opa Uaytni Korah, Datan va Abiramning isyoniga qiyoslashga undagan darajada ochiq isyonni namoyon etgan bunday rahbarlikni yuzaga keltirgan narsa nima edi?

> “When you are enlightened by the Holy Spirit, you will see all that wickedness at Minneapolis as it is, as God looks upon it. If I never see you again in this world, be assured that I forgive you the sorrow and distress and burden of soul you have brought upon me without any cause. But for your soul’s sake, for the sake of Him who died for you, I want you to see and confess your errors. You did unite with those who resisted the Spirit of God. You had all the evidence that you needed that the Lord was working through Brethren Jones and Waggoner; but you did not receive the light; and after the feelings indulged, the words spoken against the truth, you did not feel ready to confess that you had done wrong, that these men had a message from God, and you had made light of both message and messengers.

> “Muqaddas Ruh tomonidan ma’rifatlantirilganingizda, Minneapolisdagi o‘sha barcha yovuzlikni, u qanday bo‘lsa shunday, Xudo unga qanday qarasa, shunday ko‘rasiz. Agar bu dunyoda sizni endi hech qachon ko‘rmasam, shunga amin bo‘lingki, menga hech bir sababsiz keltirgan g‘am-alamni, iztirobni va qalb yukini sizga kechiraman. Ammo joningiz uchun, siz uchun halok bo‘lgan Zotning haqqi uchun, xatolaringizni ko‘rishingizni va e’tirof etishingizni istayman. Siz Xudoning Ruhiga qarshilik ko‘rsatganlar bilan birlashdingiz. Rabbiy Birodarlar Jons va Vaggoner orqali ish olib borayotganiga sizga kerak bo‘lgan barcha dalillar bor edi; ammo siz nurni qabul qilmadingiz; va o‘zingizga yo‘l qo‘ygan tuyg‘ularingizdan, haqiqatga qarshi aytilgan so‘zlardan keyin ham, noto‘g‘ri ish qilganingizni, bu kishilar Xudodan kelgan bir xabarga ega ekanini va siz ham xabarni, ham xabarchilarni mensimaganingizni e’tirof etishga tayyor bo‘lmadingiz.”

> “Never before have I seen among our people such firm self-complacency and unwillingness to accept and acknowledge light as was manifested at Minneapolis. I have been shown that not one of the company who cherished the spirit manifested at that meeting would again have clear light to discern the preciousness of the truth sent them from heaven until they humbled their pride and confessed that they were not actuated by the Spirit of God, but that their minds and hearts were filled with prejudice. The Lord desired to come near to them, to bless them and heal them of their backslidings, but they would not hearken. They were actuated by the same spirit that inspired Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Those men of Israel were determined to resist all evidence that would prove them to be wrong, and they went on and on in their course of disaffection until many were drawn away to unite with them.

> “Minneapolisda namoyon bo‘lgan darajadagi bunday qat’iy o‘zidan mamnunlik va nurni qabul qilib tan olishga bo‘lgan bunday istamaslikni men xalqimiz orasida ilgari hech qachon ko‘rmaganman. Menga ko‘rsatildiki, o‘sha yig‘ilishda namoyon bo‘lgan ruhni avaylab saqlagan o‘sha guruhdan birontasi ham, toki ular o‘z mag‘rurligini kamtar tutib, o‘zlarini Xudoning Ruhi harakatga keltirmaganini, balki ularning aql-u dillari xurofot bilan to‘lib-toshganini tan olib e’tirof etmagunlaricha, osmondan ularga yuborilgan haqiqatning qadr-qimmatini anglay oladigan ravshan nurga yana ega bo‘lmas edi. Rabbiy ularga yaqinlashishni, ularga baraka berishni va ularni orqaga qaytishlaridan shifo berishni istagan edi, ammo ular quloq solmadilar. Ularni Qo‘rax, Datan va Aviramni ilhomlantirgan o‘sha ruh harakatga keltirar edi. Isroilning o‘sha odamlari o‘zlarining noto‘g‘ri ekanliklarini isbotlaydigan har qanday dalilga qarshi turishga qat’iy qaror qilgan edilar, va ular o‘zlarining norozilik yo‘lida davom etaverdilar, to ko‘plar ularga qo‘shilish uchun o‘z yo‘llaridan og‘ib ketmaguncha.”

> “Who were these? Not the weak, not the ignorant, not the unenlightened. In that rebellion there were two hundred and fifty princes famous in the congregation, men of renown. What was their testimony? ‘All the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?’ [Numbers 16:3]. When Korah and his companions perished under the judgment of God, the people whom they had deceived saw not the hand of the Lord in this miracle. The whole congregation the next morning charged Moses and Aaron, ‘Ye have killed the people of the Lord’ [Verse 41], and the plague was upon the congregation, and more than fourteen thousand perished.

> “Bular kimlar edi? Zaiflar emas, johillar emas, ma’rifatlanmaganlar emas. O‘sha isyonda jamoat ichida mashhur bo‘lgan ikki yuz ellikta amir, nom chiqargan kishilar bor edi. Ularning guvohligi nima edi? ‘Butun jamoat muqaddasdir, ularning har biri muqaddasdir, va Egamiz ularning orasidadir; nega endi sizlar o‘zingizni Egamiz jamoatidan yuqori ko‘tarasizlar?’ [Sahroda 16:3]. Qorah va uning hamrohlari Xudoning hukmi ostida halok bo‘lganlarida, ular aldagan xalq bu mo‘jizada Egamizning qo‘lini ko‘rmadi. Ertasi tongda butun jamoat Muso bilan Horunni ayblab: ‘Sizlar Egamizning xalqini o‘ldirdingizlar’, dedi [41-oyat], va jamoat ustiga vabo tushdi, hamda o‘n to‘rt mingdan ortiq kishi halok bo‘ldi.”

> “When I purposed to leave Minneapolis, the angel of the Lord stood by me and said: ‘Not so; God has a work for you to do in this place. The people are acting over the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. I have placed you in your proper position, which those who are not in the light will not acknowledge; they will not heed your testimony; but I will be with you; My grace and power shall sustain you. It is not you they are despising, but the messengers and the message I send to My people. They have shown contempt for the word of the Lord. Satan has blinded their eyes and perverted their judgment; and unless every soul shall repent of this their sin, this unsanctified independence that is doing insult to the Spirit of God, they will walk in darkness. I will remove the candlestick out of his place except they repent and be converted, that I should heal them. They have obscured their spiritual eyesight. They would not that God would manifest His Spirit and His power; for they have a spirit of mockery and disgust at My word. Lightness, trifling, jesting, and joking are daily practiced. They have not set their hearts to seek Me. They walk in the sparks of their own kindling, and unless they repent they shall lie down in sorrow. Thus saith the Lord: Stand at your post of duty; for I am with thee, and will not leave thee nor forsake thee.’ These words from God I have not dared to disregard.

> «Men Minneapolisdan ketishga qaror qilganimda, Egamizning farishtasi yonimda turib dedi: “Unday emas; Xudoning bu joyda sen uchun bajarishing kerak bo‘lgan bir ishi bor. Bu xalq Qorah, Datan va Abiramning isyonini yana takrorlamoqda. Men seni o‘zingga munosib o‘ringa qo‘ydim, buni nurda bo‘lmaganlar tan olmaydilar; ular sening guvohligingga quloq solmaydilar; lekin Men sen bilan bo‘laman; Mening inoyatim va qudratim seni qo‘llab-quvvatlaydi. Ular nafrat qilayotgan narsa sen emas, balki Men O‘z xalqimga yuborayotgan xabarchilar va xabardir. Ular Egamizning kalomiga nisbatan mensimaslik ko‘rsatdilar. Shayton ularning ko‘zlarini ko‘r qilgan va hukmlarini buzib yuborgan; va agar har bir jon o‘zining mana shu gunohidan, Xudoning Ruhiga haqorat qilayotgan bu muqaddaslanmagan mustaqillikdan tavba qilmasa, ular zulmatda yuradilar. Agar tavba qilib, imonga kelmasalar, toki Men ularni sog‘aytiray, Men shamdonni o‘z joyidan olib tashlayman. Ular ruhiy ko‘rish qobiliyatlarini xiralashtirdilar. Ular Xudo O‘z Ruhini va O‘z qudratini namoyon etishini istamadilar; chunki ularda Mening kalomimga nisbatan masxara va jirkanish ruhi bor. Yengiltaklik, behuda mashg‘ullik, hazil-mutoyiba va masxaralash har kuni odat tusiga kirgan. Ular Meni izlash uchun o‘z yuraklarini bel bog‘lamadilar. Ular o‘zlari yoqqan uchqunlar yorug‘ida yuradilar, va agar tavba qilmasalar, qayg‘u ichida yotadilar. Egamiz shunday deydi: Vazifa postingda sobit tur; chunki Men sen bilanman va seni tark etmayman hamda seni tashlab qo‘ymayman.” Xudodan kelgan bu so‘zlarni mensimay qo‘yishga men jur’at etmadim.»

> “Light has been shining in Battle Creek in clear, bright rays; but who of those that acted a part in the meeting at Minneapolis have come to the light and received the rich treasures of truth which the Lord sent them from heaven? Who have kept step and step with the Leader, Jesus Christ? Who have made full confession of their mistaken zeal, their blindness, their jealousies and evil surmisings, their defiance of truth? Not one; and because of their long neglect to acknowledge the light, it has left them far behind; they have not been growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. They have failed to receive the needed grace which they might have had, and which would have made them strong men in religious experience.

> “Battle Creekda nur ravshan, yorqin nurlar bilan porlab kelmoqda; biroq Minneapolisdagi yig‘inda ishtirok etganlardan qaysi biri nurga kelib, Rabbiy osmondan ularga yuborgan haqiqatning boy xazinalarini qabul qildi? Kim Yo‘lboshchi Iso Masih bilan qadam-baqadam hamnafas bo‘lib bordi? Kim o‘zining adashgan g‘ayrati, ko‘rligi, rashklari va yomon gumonlari, haqiqatga qarshi o‘jarligi haqida to‘la e’tirof qildi? Hech biri; va nurni tan olishni uzoq vaqt davomida e’tiborsiz qoldirganlari sababli, u ularni ancha ortda qoldirdi; ular inoyatda va Rabbimiz Masih Iso haqidagi bilimda o‘sib bormadilar. Ular o‘zlariga zarur bo‘lgan, ega bo‘lishlari mumkin bo‘lgan va ularni diniy tajribada kuchli kishilar qilgan bo‘lur edi, ana shu inoyatni qabul qilishda muvaffaqiyatsiz bo‘ldilar.”

> “The position taken at Minneapolis was apparently an insurmountable barrier which in a great degree shut them in with doubters, questioners, with the rejecters of truth and the power of God. When another crisis comes, those who have so long resisted evidence piled upon evidence will again be tested upon the points where they failed so manifestly, and it will be hard for them to receive that which is from God and refuse that which is from the powers of darkness. Therefore their only safe course is to walk in humility, making straight paths for their feet, lest the lame be turned out of the way. It makes every difference whom we company with, whether it is with men who walk with God and who believe and trust Him, or with men who follow their own supposed wisdom, walking in the sparks of their own kindling.

> “Minneapolisda egallangan pozitsiya, aftidan, yengib bo‘lmas bir to‘siq bo‘lib, ularni katta darajada shubhalanuvchilar, savol ostiga oluvchilar, haqiqatni va Xudoning qudratini rad etuvchilar bilan birga qamab qo‘ydi. Yana bir inqiroz kelganida, uzoq vaqt davomida dalil ustiga dalil to‘planib borgani holda ham qarshilik ko‘rsatib kelganlar, yana o‘sha o‘zlari shu qadar oshkora muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchragan nuqtalar bo‘yicha sinovdan o‘tkaziladilar, va ular uchun Xudodan bo‘lgan narsani qabul qilib, zulmat kuchlaridan bo‘lgan narsani rad etish qiyin bo‘ladi. Shuning uchun ular uchun yagona xavfsiz yo‘l — kamtarlikda yurish, oqsoq yo‘ldan chiqib ketmasligi uchun oyoqlari uchun to‘g‘ri so‘qmoqlar qilishdir. Biz kimlar bilan hamroh bo‘lishimiz nihoyatda katta farq qiladi: Xudo bilan yuradigan, Unga ishonadigan va Unga tavakkal qiladigan odamlar bilanmi, yoki o‘zlarining taxmin qilingan donoligiga ergashib, o‘zlari yoqqan uchqunlar ichida yuradigan odamlar bilanmi.”

> “The time and care and labor required to counteract the influence of those who have worked against the truth has been a terrible loss; for we might have been years ahead in spiritual knowledge; and many, many souls might have been added to the church if those who ought to have walked in the light had followed on to know the Lord, that they might know His going forth is prepared as the morning. But when so much labor has to be expended right in the church to counteract the influence of workers who have stood as a granite wall against the truth God sends to His people, the world is left in comparative darkness.

> “Haqiqatga qarshi ishlaganlarning ta’sirini bartaraf etish uchun talab etilgan vaqt, g‘amxo‘rlik va mehnat dahshatli darajada katta yo‘qotish bo‘ldi; chunki biz ruhiy bilimda yillar ilgarilab ketgan bo‘lishimiz mumkin edi; va agar nurda yurishi lozim bo‘lganlar Egamizni tanib borishda davom etganlarida, Uning chiqishi tong kabi tayyor ekanini bilishlari uchun, juda-juda ko‘p jonlar jamoatga qo‘shilgan bo‘lar edi. Ammo Xudo O‘z xalqiga yuborayotgan haqiqatga qarshi granit devor kabi turgan xodimlarning ta’sirini bartaraf etish uchun shuncha mehnat aynan jamoatning o‘zida sarflanishi kerak bo‘lganda, dunyo nisbatan zulmat ichida qoldiriladi.

> “God meant that the watchmen should arise and with united voices send forth a decided message, giving the trumpet a certain sound, that the people might all spring to their post of duty and act their part in the great work. Then the strong, clear light of that other angel who comes down from heaven having great power, would have filled the earth with his glory. We are years behind; and those who stood in blindness and hindered the advancement of the very message that God meant should go forth from the Minneapolis meeting as a lamp that burneth, have need to humble their hearts before God and see and understand how the work has been hindered by their blindness of mind and hardness of heart.” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 107–111.

> “Xudo qo‘riqchilarning o‘rinlaridan turib, yakdil ovoz bilan qat’iy bir xabarni e’lon qilishlarini, karnayga aniq bir sado berishlarini nazarda tutgan edi; shunda xalqning barchasi o‘z burch posti tomon shoshilib, buyuk ishda o‘z ulushini ado etar edi. Shunda osmondan ulug‘ qudrat bilan tushib keladigan o‘sha boshqa farishtaning kuchli, ravshan nuri yer yuzini uning ulug‘vorligi bilan to‘ldirgan bo‘lur edi. Biz yillar ortda qolib ketdik; va Minneapolis yig‘ilishidan yonib turgan chiroq kabi tarqalishi kerak bo‘lgan ayni xabarning oldinga siljishiga ko‘rlik ichida turib to‘sqinlik qilganlar Xudo oldida qalblarini kamtar tutishga, hamda ish ularning aqliy ko‘rligi va yurak qattiqligi tufayli qanday to‘sib qo‘yilganini ko‘rish va anglashga muhtojdirlar.” Manuscript Releases, 14-jild, 107–111.

What was it that had produced a leadership that manifested such open rebellion in 1888, that Sister White compared it to the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram? The answer no doubt lies in the rebellion of 1863, that prepared the way for what Ezekiel was told would be even greater abominations. Rejecting the “seven times,” of Leviticus twenty-six, and introducing a counterfeit chart, would produce the necessity to uphold the counterfeit of 1863. Thus, Miller would watch his jewels get scattered and covered up with rubbish and counterfeit jewels and coins. The worldly saying says, “history is written by the victors.”

1888-yilda opa Uayt Korah, Datan va Abironning isyoniga qiyoslagan darajada ochiq isyonni namoyon etgan rahbarlikni nima yuzaga keltirgan edi? Javob, shubhasiz, 1863-yildagi isyonda yotadi; aynan o‘sha isyon Hizqiyoga yanada kattaroq jirkanchliklar bo‘lishi aytilgan narsalarga yo‘l hozirladi. Levilar kitobining yigirma oltinchi bobidagi “yetti vaqt”ni rad etish va soxta jadvalni kiritish, 1863-yildagi qalbakilashtirishni himoya qilish zaruratini tug‘dirar edi. Shunday qilib, Miller o‘z gavharlarining sochilib ketishini hamda ularning usti axlat va qalbaki gavharlar va tangalar bilan ko‘milib qolishini kuzatar edi. Dunyoviy naql shunday deydi: “tarixni g‘oliblar yozadi.”

Though not actually the victors, those leading the Laodicean Adventist church have spent time and effort to construct a historical narrative that upholds the increasing rebellion through the four generations, in an attempt to place that rebellion in a light that is far from the actual history recorded by the heavenly angels. The revision of history is a hallmark characteristic of the Jesuits of the Catholic Church, and historical revisionism has been a stock and trade of Laodicean Adventist historians. What is written these days by Laodicean Adventist “historians” about the Minneapolis General Conference session is a classic example of historical revisionism.

Aslida gʻoliblar boʻlmagan boʻlsalar-da, Laodikeya Adventist jamoatini boshqarayotganlar toʻrt avlod davomida kuchayib borgan isyonni oqlab koʻrsatadigan tarixiy rivoyatni barpo etish uchun vaqt va saʼy-harakat sarfladilar; bu esa oʻsha isyonni samoviy farishtalar qayd etgan haqiqiy tarixdan mutlaqo yiroq bir tusda koʻrsatishga urinishdir. Tarixni qayta yozish Katolik cherkovining Iyezuitlariga xos asosiy belgilardan biridir, va tarixiy revizionizm Laodikeya Adventist tarixchilarining doimiy usuli va kasbi boʻlib kelgan. Bugungi kunda Laodikeya Adventist “tarixchilari” tomonidan Minneapolis Bosh Konferensiyasi sessiyasi haqida yozilayotganlar tarixiy revizionizmning klassik namunasidir.

There may have been a few of the rebels from that conference that eventually repented, but the exception to the rule, does not deny the rule. Sister White was commanded to stay and record the meeting, for the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram was being repeated. For Adventist historians to construct the testimony around whether the message of righteousness by faith was understood, not understood; rejected or not rejected, or thereafter accepted is to avoid the inspired testimony of a rebellion that was typified by Korah, Dathan and Abiram.

Ehtimol, o‘sha konferensiyadagi isyonchilardan ba’zilari oxir-oqibat tavba qilgandir, biroq qoidadan istisno qoida o‘zini inkor etmaydi. Oq opa qolib, yig‘ilishni qayd etishga buyurilgan edi, chunki Qorah, Datan va Abiramning isyoni takrorlanayotgan edi. Adventist tarixchilarning guvohlikni imon orqali oqlanish xabari tushunilganmi, tushunilmaganmi; rad etilganmi yoki rad etilmaganmi, yoxud keyinchalik qabul qilinganmi degan masala atrofida qurishi, Qorah, Datan va Abiram timsolida ifodalangan isyon haqidagi ilhomlangan guvohlikdan qochishdir.

Which of those three rebels did Moses’ record show was afterward repentant and accepted back in the leadership with Moses?

Muso yozuviga ko‘ra, o‘sha uch isyonchidan qaysi biri keyinchalik tavba qilib, Muso bilan birga yana rahbarlikka qabul qilingan edi?

> “Korah, the leading spirit in this movement, was a Levite, of the family of Kohath, and a cousin of Moses; he was a man of ability and influence. Though appointed to the service of the tabernacle, he had become dissatisfied with his position and aspired to the dignity of the priesthood. The bestowal upon Aaron and his house of the priestly office, which had formerly devolved upon the first-born son of every family, had given rise to jealousy and dissatisfaction, and for some time Korah had been secretly opposing the authority of Moses and Aaron, though he had not ventured upon any open act of rebellion. He finally conceived the bold design of overthrowing both the civil and the religious authority. He did not fail to find sympathizers. Close to the tents of Korah and the Kohathites, on the south side of the tabernacle, was the encampment of the tribe of Reuben, the tents of Dathan and Abiram, two princes of this tribe, being near that of Korah. These princes readily joined in his ambitious schemes. Being descendants from the eldest son of Jacob, they claimed that the civil authority belonged to them, and they determined to divide with Korah the honors of the priesthood.

> “Bu harakatdagi bosh yetakchi ruh bo‘lgan Qorah leviylardan edi, Qohot xonadonidan bo‘lib, Musoning amakivachchasi edi; u qobiliyatli va nufuzli kishi edi. Muqaddas chodir xizmatiga tayinlangan bo‘lsa-da, u o‘z mavqeidan norozi bo‘lib qolgan va ruhoniylik martabasiga da’vogarlik qilgan edi. Ilgari har bir oilaning to‘ng‘ich o‘g‘liga tegishli bo‘lgan ruhoniylik lavozimining Horun va uning xonadoniga berilishi hasad va norozilikni keltirib chiqargan edi, va bir muncha vaqt davomida Qorah Muso bilan Horunning hokimiyatiga yashirincha qarshilik ko‘rsatib kelgan bo‘lsa-da, u hali ochiq isyonning biror harakatiga jur’at etmagan edi. Oxir-oqibat u ham fuqaroviy, ham diniy hokimiyatni ag‘darib tashlashdek jasur niyatni o‘ylab topdi. U hamdardlarni topmay qolmadi. Muqaddas chodirning janub tomonida, Qorah va qohotliklarning chodirlari yaqinida, Ruben qabilasining qarorgohi joylashgan edi; bu qabilaning ikki amiri bo‘lgan Datan va Abiramning chodirlari Qorahning chodiriga yaqin edi. Bu amirlar uning shuhratparastona rejalari bilan darhol birlashdilar. Yoqubning to‘ng‘ich o‘g‘lidan nasl bo‘lganlari uchun, ular fuqaroviy hokimiyat o‘zlariga tegishli, deb da’vo qildilar va ruhoniylik sharaflarini Qorah bilan bo‘lishib olishga qaror qildilar.”

> “The state of feeling among the people favored the designs of Korah. In the bitterness of their disappointment, their former doubts, jealousy, and hatred had returned, and again their complaints were directed against their patient leader. The Israelites were continually losing sight of the fact that they were under divine guidance. They forgot that the Angel of the covenant was their invisible leader, that, veiled by the cloudy pillar, the presence of Christ went before them, and that from Him Moses received all his directions.

> Xalq orasidagi kayfiyat Korahning rejalari uchun qulay edi. O‘z umidsizliklarining achchiqligida ularning avvalgi shubhalari, rashki va nafrati yana qaytdi, va ularning shikoyatlari yana sabrli yo‘lboshchisiga qarshi qaratildi. Isroil xalqi o‘zlarining ilohiy yo‘l-yo‘riq ostida ekanliklarini muttasil ravishda ko‘zdan qochirar edilar. Ular ahd Farishtasi o‘zlarining ko‘rinmas Rahnamosi ekanini, bulut ustuni bilan pardalangan holda Masihning huzuri ularning oldida borayotganini va Muso barcha ko‘rsatmalarini Undan olganini unutdilar.

> “They were unwilling to submit to the terrible sentence that they must all die in the wilderness, and hence they were ready to seize upon every pretext for believing that it was not God but Moses who was leading them and who had pronounced their doom. The best efforts of the meekest man upon the earth could not quell the insubordination of this people; and although the marks of God’s displeasure at their former perverseness were still before them in their broken ranks and missing numbers, they did not take the lesson to heart. Again they were overcome by temptation.” Patriarchs and Prophets, 395, 396.

> “Ularning barchasi sahroda halok bo‘lishi kerakligi haqidagi dahshatli hukmga bo‘ysunishni istamadilar; shu bois, o‘zlarini Xudo emas, balki Muso boshlab ketayotgani va ularning halokat hukmini aynan u e’lon qilganiga ishonish uchun har qanday bahonani ilib olishga tayyor edilar. Yer yuzidagi eng muloyim insonning eng yaxshi sa’y-harakatlari ham bu xalqning itoatsizligini jilovlay olmadi; va ularning avvalgi qaysarligi ustidan Xudoning g‘azabi alomatlari safi buzilganlari va sonlari kamayganlari ko‘rinishida hanuz ko‘z oldilarida turgan bo‘lsa-da, ular bu saboqni yurakdan qabul qilmadilar. Yana ular vasvasaga yengildilar.” Patriarchs and Prophets, 395, 396.

Laodicean Adventism began in 1856, and in 1863 it became the legally registered Laodicean Adventist church. As previously addressed in prior articles, there is no inspired testimony that Laodicea is ever saved. It cannot be saved unless it repents of its condition, and accepts the experience represented by Philadelphia. Laodicea is a people that is judged, by being spewed out of the mouth of the Lord. As the Laodicean church, inspiration identifies that the church was destined to wander in the wilderness as did ancient Israel.

Laodikiyachi Adventizm 1856-yilda boshlandi, va 1863-yilda u qonuniy ravishda ro‘yxatdan o‘tgan Laodikiyachi Adventist jamoatiga aylandi. Avvalgi maqolalarda bayon etilganidek, Laodikiyaning qachonlardir najot topishini tasdiqlovchi ilhomlangan hech qanday guvohlik yo‘q. U o‘z holatidan tavba qilmaguncha va Filadelfiya orqali ifodalangan tajribani qabul qilmaguncha najot topa olmaydi. Laodikiyaning xalqi — Rabbimizning og‘zidan tupurib tashlanishi orqali hukm qilinadigan xalqdir. Laodikiyachi jamoat sifatida, ilhom bu jamoatning qadimgi Isroil singari sahroda sarson kezishga mahkum etilganini ko‘rsatadi.

Which of the rebels of ancient Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years and then entered into the Promised Land? Not a single soul, and their wandering typified the wandering of modern Israel.

Qadimgi Isroilning isyonchilaridan qaysi biri qirq yil sahroda sarson bo‘lib yurib, so‘ng Va’da qilingan yurtga kirdi? Biror jon ham emas, va ularning sarsonligi zamonaviy Isroilning sarsonligini timsol qildi.

The rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram (that typified the rebellion of 1888), was premised upon their unwillingness to accept the judgment upon the people assigning them to wander for forty years in the wilderness. The rebellion of 1888, was premised upon the leadership’s rejection of the pronouncement identifying them as Laodicea and assigning them to wander many more years in the wilderness because of their insubordination.

Qorah, Datan va Abiramning isyoni (1888-yildagi isyonga timsol bo‘lgan) xalq ustidan chiqarilgan hukmni — ularni qirq yil davomida sahroda sarson yurishga tayinlagan hukmni — qabul qilishni istamaganliklariga asoslangan edi. 1888-yildagi isyon esa rahbariyatning o‘zlarini Laodikiya deb belgilagan va itoatsizliklari sababli ularni yana ko‘p yillar sahroda sarson yurishga tayinlagan bayonotni rad etishiga asoslangan edi.

> “The message given us by A. T. Jones, and E. J. Waggoner is the message of God to the Laodicean church, and woe be unto anyone who professes to believe the truth and yet does not reflect to others the God-given rays.” The 1888 Materials, 1053.

> “A. T. Jons va E. J. Vaggoner orqali bizga berilgan xabar — Laodikiya jamoatiga yuborilgan Xudoning xabaridir; haqiqatga ishonishini da’vo qilib turib, boshqalarga Xudo bergan nurlarni aks ettirmaydigan har kimning holiga voy.” The 1888 Materials, 1053.

The ancient men, who were to be the guardians of the people in 1888, believed they were “rich and increased with goods”. We will consider what produced this condition in advance of 1888, in the next article.

1888-yilda xalqning qo‘riqchilari bo‘lishi kerak bo‘lgan qadimgi kishilar o‘zlarini “boyib ketgan va mol-dunyoga to‘lib-toshgan” deb hisobladilar. 1888-yildan oldin bu holatni nima yuzaga keltirganini keyingi maqolada ko‘rib chiqamiz.

> “My soul is made very sad to see how quickly some who have had light and truth will accept the deceptions of Satan, and be charmed with a spurious holiness. When men turn away from the landmarks the Lord has established that we may understand our position as marked out in prophecy, they are going they know not whither.

> “Nur va haqiqatni qabul qilgan ayrim kishilarning Shaytonning aldovlarini naqadar tez qabul qilib, soxta muqaddaslikka maftun bo‘layotganini ko‘rib, jonim nihoyatda g‘amga botadi. Odamlar Rabbimiz o‘rnatgan, bashoratda belgilab qo‘yilgan mavqeimizni anglashimiz uchun berilgan chegaraviy belgilaridan yuz o‘girganlarida, qayerga ketayotganlarini o‘zlari bilmagan holda yo‘lga tushadilar.

> “I question whether genuine rebellion is ever curable. Study in Patriarchs and Prophets the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. This rebellion was extended, including more than two men. It was led by two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, men of renown. Call rebellion by its right name and apostasy by its right name, and then consider that the experience of the ancient people of God with all its objectionable features was faithfully chronicled to pass into history. The Scripture declares, ‘These things … are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ And if men and women who have the knowledge of the truth are so far separated from their Great Leader that they will take the great leader of apostasy and name him Christ our Righteousness, it is because they have not sunk deep into the mines of the truth. They are not able to distinguish the precious ore from the base material.

> “Men chinakam isyon hech qachon tuzaladimi, degan savolni qo‘yaman. Patriarchs and Prophets kitobida Qorah, Datan va Abiramning isyonini o‘rganing. Bu isyon keng yoyilgan bo‘lib, unda ikki kishidan ko‘proq shaxs qatnashgan edi. Unga jamoatning ikki yuz ellik amiri, nom chiqargan kishilar boshchilik qilgan edi. Isyonni o‘zining haqiqiy nomi bilan, murtadlikni ham o‘zining haqiqiy nomi bilan atang, so‘ngra Xudoning qadimgi xalqining butun nomaqbul xususiyatlari bilan kechgan tajribasi tarixga kirishi uchun sadoqat bilan qayd etilganini ko‘rib chiqing. Muqaddas Yozuv shunday deydi: ‘Bu narsalar … bizga nasihat bo‘lishi uchun, zamonlarning oxiri yetib kelgan bizlar uchun yozilgandir’. Agar haqiqat bilimiga ega bo‘lgan erkaklar va ayollar o‘zlarining Buyuk Yo‘lboshchisidan shu qadar uzoqlashib ketsalarki, murtadlikning ulug‘ yo‘lboshchisini olib, uni Masih — bizning Solihligimiz deb ataydigan bo‘lsalar, buning sababi shuki, ular haqiqat konlariga chuqur kirib bormaganlar. Ular qimmatbaho rudani arzimas moddadan ajrata olmaydilar.”

> “Read the cautions so abundantly given in the Word of God in regard to false prophets that will come in with their heresies, and if possible will deceive the very elect. With these warnings, why is it that the church does not distinguish the false from the genuine? Those who have in any way been thus misled need to humble themselves before God, and sincerely repent, because they have so easily been led astray. They have not distinguished the voice of the true Shepherd from that of a stranger. Let all such review this chapter of their experience.

> “Xudoning Kalomida o‘z bid’atlari bilan kirib keladigan va imkoni bo‘lsa, hatto tanlanganlarning o‘zlarini ham aldaydigan soxta payg‘ambarlar haqida nihoyatda ko‘p berilgan ogohlantirishlarni o‘qing. Bu ogohlantirishlar mavjud bo‘la turib, nega jamoat soxtani haqiqiysidan ajratmaydi? Shu tariqa qay bir yo‘l bilan adashganlar Xudo oldida o‘zlarini kamtar tutishlari va chin dildan tavba qilishlari kerak, chunki ular bu qadar osonlik bilan yo‘ldan ozdirilganlar. Ular haqiqiy Cho‘ponning ovozini begonaning ovozidan ajratmaganlar. Bundaylarning barchasi o‘z tajribalarining shu bobini qayta ko‘rib chiqsin.”

> “For more than half a century God has been giving His people light through the testimonies of His Spirit. After all this time is it left for a few men and their wives to undeceive the whole church of believers, declaring Mrs. White a fraud and a deceiver? ‘By their fruits ye shall know them.’

> “Yarim asrdan ortiq vaqt davomida Xudo O‘z xalqiga O‘z Ruhining shahodatlari orqali nur berib kelmoqda. Shuncha vaqt o‘tganidan keyin, butun imonlilar jamoatini adashuvdan chiqarish, xonim Uaytni firibgar va aldovchi deb e’lon qilish bir necha erkaklar va ularning xotinlari zimmasida qoladimi? ‘Ularni mevalaridan bilib olasizlar.’”

> “Those who can ignore all the evidences which God has given them, and change that blessing into a curse, should tremble for the safety of their own souls. Their candlestick will be removed out of its place unless they repent. The Lord has been insulted. The standard of truth, of the first, second, and third angels’ messages has been left to trail in the dust. If the watchmen are left to mislead the people in this fashion, God will hold some souls responsible for a lack of keen discernment to discover what kind of provender was being given to His flock.

> “Xudo ularga bergan barcha dalillarni e’tiborsiz qoldira oladigan va o‘sha barakani la’natga aylantiradiganlar o‘z jonlarining omonligi uchun titrasinlar. Agar tavba qilmasalar, ularning shamdonlari o‘z o‘rnidan olib tashlanadi. Rabb haqorat qilindi. Birinchi, ikkinchi va uchinchi farishtalarning xabarlaridagi haqiqat bayrog‘i chang ichida sudralib qolishi uchun tashlab qo‘yildi. Agar soqchilar xalqni shu tarzda yo‘ldan urishga qo‘yib berilsa, Xudo O‘z suruviga qanday yem berilayotganini anglab yetish uchun o‘tkir farosat yetishmaganligi sababli ayrim jonlarni mas’ul tutadi.”

> “Apostasies have occurred and the Lord has permitted matters of this nature to develop in the past in order to show how easily His people will be misled when they depend upon the words of men instead of searching the Scriptures for themselves, as did the noble Bereans, to see if these things are so. And the Lord has permitted things of this kind to occur that warnings may be given that such things will take place.

> “Murtadliklar sodir bo‘lgan va Rabbiy o‘tmishda bu kabi narsalarning yuzaga kelishiga shuning uchun yo‘l qo‘ygan ediki, O‘z xalqining, olijanob beriyaliklar kabi, bu narsalar shundaymi-yo‘qmi ekanini bilish uchun Muqaddas Yozuvlarni o‘zlari tadqiq etish o‘rniga, insonlarning so‘zlariga tayanganda naqadar oson yo‘ldan ozdirilishini ko‘rsatsin. Va Rabbiy bu turdagi voqealarning sodir bo‘lishiga shuning uchun yo‘l qo‘ygan ediki, bunday narsalar yuz berishi haqida ogohlantirishlar berilsin.

> “Rebellion and apostasy are in the very air we breathe. We shall be affected by them unless we by faith hang our helpless souls upon Christ. If men are so easily misled now, how will they stand when Satan shall personate Christ, and work miracles? Who will be unmoved by his misrepresentations then—professing to be Christ when it is only Satan assuming the person of Christ, and apparently working the works of Christ? What will hold God’s people from giving their allegiance to false christs? ‘Go not after them.’

> “Isyon va murtadlik biz nafas olayotgan havoning o‘zidadir. Agar biz nochor jonlarimizni imon orqali Masihga osib qo‘ymasak, ulardan ta’sirlanmay qolmaymiz. Agar odamlar hozir shunchalik oson yo‘ldan ozdirilayotgan bo‘lsa, Shayton Masih qiyofasiga kirib, mo‘jizalar ko‘rsatadigan paytda ular qanday bardosh bera oladilar? U o‘shanda Masih ekanini da’vo qilib, holbuki faqat Shayton Masih shaxsini o‘ziga olib, go‘yo Masihning ishlarini qilayotgan bir paytda, uning haqiqatni buzib ko‘rsatishlaridan kim larzaga kelmay turadi? Xudoning xalqini soxta masihlarga sadoqat ko‘rsatishdan nima tiyib qoladi? ‘Ularning ortidan bormanglar.’”

> “The doctrines must be plainly understood. The men accepted to preach the truth must be anchored; then their vessel will hold against storm and tempest, because the anchor holds them firmly. The deceptions will increase, and we are to call rebellion by its right name. We are to stand with the whole armor on. In this conflict we do not meet men only, but principalities and powers. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Let Ephesians 6:10–18 be read carefully and impressively in our churches.” Notebook Leaflets, 57, 58.

> “Ta’limotlar ravshan tushunilishi kerak. Haqiqatni va’z qilish uchun qabul qilingan kishilar mahkam bog‘langan bo‘lishlari lozim; shunda ularning kemasi bo‘ron va to‘fon qarshisida bardosh beradi, chunki langar ularni mahkam tutib turadi. Aldovlar ko‘payadi, va biz isyonni uning haqiqiy nomi bilan atashimiz kerak. Biz butun sovut-aslahani kiygan holda turmog‘imiz lozim. Bu kurashda biz faqat odamlarga emas, balki hokimliklar va hokimiyatlarga qarshi duch kelamiz. Bizning olishuvimiz tana va qonga qarshi emas. Efesliklarga 6:10–18 oyatlari jamoatlarimizda diqqat bilan va ta’sirchan tarzda o‘qib eshittirilsin.” Notebook Leaflets, 57, 58.
