The first six chapters of the book of Daniel represent the history of the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. The United States (the earth beast), began as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy in 1798, when the papacy (the sea beast of Revelation thirteen) received a prophetic deadly wound, and ended its reign as the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

Doniyor kitobining dastlabki olti bobi Vahiy 13-bobdagi yer yirtqichining tarixini ifodalaydi. Qoʻshma Shtatlar (yer yirtqichi) Injil bashoratining oltinchi shohligi sifatida 1798-yilda, papalik (Vahiy 13-bobdagi dengiz yirtqichi) bashoriy o‘limli yara olgan paytda boshlangan va Injil bashoratining beshinchi shohligi sifatida o‘z hukmronligini yakunlagan.

The history of the earth beast is the history of the warning of the approach of God’s judgments. In the beginning of the history of the earth beast, God’s investigative judgment began, and at the ending of the earth beast God’s executive judgment begins. The warning of the approach of God’s investigative judgment, at the beginning, was represented by the first angel’s message of Revelation chapter fourteen, which arrived at the “time of the end” in 1798. The warning of the approach of God’s executive judgment, at the ending is represented as the three angels’ messages of Revelation chapter fourteen, which arrived at the “time of the end” in 1989.

Yer hayvoni tarixiyati Xudoning hukmlari yaqinlashayotgani haqidagi ogohlantirish tarixidir. Yer hayvoni tarixining boshida Xudoning tergov hukmi boshlandi, yer hayvoni tarixining oxirida esa Xudoning ijro hukmi boshlanadi. Boshida Xudoning tergov hukmi yaqinlashayotgani haqidagi ogohlantirish Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi birinchi farishtaning xabari orqali ifodalangan bo‘lib, u 1798 yilda “oxir zamon”da yetib keldi. Oxirida esa Xudoning ijro hukmi yaqinlashayotgani haqidagi ogohlantirish Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi uch farishtaning xabarlari sifatida ifodalangan bo‘lib, ular 1989 yilda “oxir zamon”da yetib keldi.

At every “time of the end” a part of the book of Daniel is unsealed. In the beginning history of the earth beast, in 1798, chapters seven, eight and nine of Daniel were unsealed. Those chapters are represented as the vision of the Ulai River. At the ending history of the earth beast, in 1989, chapters ten, eleven and twelve of Daniel were unsealed. Those chapters are represented as the vision of the Hiddekel River. Whenever the book of Daniel is unsealed, there is a three-step testing process brought upon the generation that is then living.

“Oxirzamon”ning har bir davrida Doniyor kitobining bir qismi muhrdan ochiladi. Yer hayvoni tarixining boshlanishida, 1798 yilda, Doniyorning yettinchi, sakkizinchi va to‘qqizinchi boblari muhrdan ochildi. Bu boblar Ulai daryosi vahiyati sifatida ifodalangan. Yer hayvoni tarixining yakuniy davrida, 1989 yilda, Doniyorning o‘ninchi, o‘n birinchi va o‘n ikkinchi boblari muhrdan ochildi. Bu boblar Hiddekel daryosi vahiyati sifatida ifodalangan. Doniyor kitobi qachon muhrdan ochilsa, o‘sha paytda yashayotgan avlod ustiga uch bosqichli sinov jarayoni keltiriladi.

> And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:9, 10.

> U dedi: “O‘z yo‘lingdan bor, ey Doniyor; chunki bu so‘zlar oxirzamon vaqtigacha yopiq va muhrlangan turadi. Ko‘plar poklanadi, oppoq qilinadi va sinaladi; ammo yovuzlar yovuzlik qiladi; yovuzlarning hech biri tushunmaydi; lekin donolar tushunadi.” Doniyor 12:9, 10.

The three-step testing process is based upon the structure of the Hebrew word that is translated as “truth,” which was created by combining the first, thirteenth and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The Hebrew word represents and possesses God’s creative power. All prophetic truth is structured upon that word, as is the three-step testing process in Daniel chapter twelve. The word represents not only God’s creative power, but also Jesus Christ, who is the Truth, and who is also the First and Last, as represented by the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

Uch bosqichli sinov jarayoni ibroniy alifbosining birinchi, o‘n uchinchi va oxirgi harflarini birlashtirish orqali hosil qilingan, “haqiqat” deb tarjima qilinadigan ibroniycha so‘zning tuzilishiga asoslanadi. Bu ibroniycha so‘z Xudoning yaratuvchi qudratini ifodalaydi va o‘zida mujassam etadi. Barcha bashoratli haqiqat, Doniyor kitobining o‘n ikkinchi bobidagi uch bosqichli sinov jarayoni kabi, ana shu so‘z ustiga qurilgandir. Bu so‘z nafaqat Xudoning yaratuvchi qudratini, balki Haqiqat bo‘lgan Iso Masihni ham ifodalaydi; U, shuningdek, ibroniy alifbosining birinchi va oxirgi harflari bilan ifodalanganidek, Birinchi va Oxirgidir.

The beginning history of the earth beast, when the warning of the approach of the investigative judgment arrived at the time of the end in 1798, is represented by the first angel of Revelation fourteen. The first angel’s message of Revelation chapter fourteen possesses each of the three steps, which are the truth, and that represent the three-step testing process which confronted the generation when the first angel arrived in 1798.

1798-yilda tergov hukmining yaqinlashuvi haqidagi ogohlantirish oxirzamon davrida yetib kelgan paytda, yer maxluqining dastlabki tarixi Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi birinchi farishta orqali ifodalanadi. Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi birinchi farishtaning xabari haqiqat bo‘lgan va 1798-yilda birinchi farishta kelganida o‘sha avlod oldida turgan uch bosqichli sinov jarayonini ifodalagan uch bosqichning har birini o‘z ichiga oladi.

> And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation 14:6, 7.

> Va men osmonning o‘rtasidan uchib ketayotgan yana bir farishtani ko‘rdim; unda yer yuzida yashovchilarga, har bir elatga, qavmga, tilga va xalqqa va’z qilinajak abadiy xushxabar bor edi. U baland ovoz bilan dedi: Xudodan qo‘rqing va Unga ulug‘vorlik bering; chunki Uning hukmi soati keldi; osmonni, yerni, dengizni va suv buloqlarini yaratganga sajda qiling. Vahiy 14:6, 7.

The ending history of the earth beast, when the warning of the approach of the executive judgment arrived at the time of the end in 1989 is represented by the three angels of Revelation chapter fourteen. The three angels of Revelation fourteen represent the three steps, that are the truth, and the three angels represent the three-step testing process which confronted the generation living when the third angel arrived in 1989.

Yer hayvonining yakuniy tarixi, ijro etuvchi hukmning yaqinlashuvi haqidagi ogohlantirish 1989 yilda, oxirzamon vaqtida kelganida, Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi uch farishta orqali ifodalanadi. Vahiy o‘n to‘rtdagi uch farishta haqiqat bo‘lgan uch bosqichni ifodalaydi, va uch farishta 1989 yilda uchinchi farishta kelgan paytda yashagan avlodga ro‘baro‘ kelgan uch bosqichli sinov jarayonini ifodalaydi.

> And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 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. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:6–12.

> Va men osmonning o‘rtasida uchib ketayotgan boshqa bir farishtani ko‘rdim; uning qo‘lida yer yuzida yashovchilarga, har bir elatga, qabilaga, tilga va xalqqa e’lon qilinadigan abadiy xushxabar bor edi. U baland ovoz bilan shunday der edi: Xudodan qo‘rqinglar va Unga ulug‘vorlik beringlar; chunki Uning hukm soati keldi; osmonni, yerni, dengizni va suv buloqlarini yaratganga sajda qilinglar. Uning ortidan boshqa, ikkinchi farishta ergashib, shunday dedi: Bobil yiqildi, yiqildi, o‘sha buyuk shahar; chunki u barcha xalqlarga o‘z zinosi g‘azabining sharobidan ichirdi. Ularning ortidan uchinchi farishta ham ergashib, baland ovoz bilan shunday dedi: Kimki mahluqqa va uning tasviriga sajda qilsa, hamda uning tamg‘asini peshonasiga yoki qo‘liga qabul qilsa, o‘sha ham Xudoning g‘azabi sharobidan ichadi; bu sharob Uning qahr kosasiga aralashtirilmagan holda quyilgandir; va u muqaddas farishtalar huzurida hamda Qo‘zi huzurida olov va oltingugurt bilan azoblanadi. Ularning azobi tutuni abadulabad ko‘tarilib turadi; va mahluqqa hamda uning tasviriga sajda qiluvchilar, shuningdek uning nomi tamg‘asini qabul qilgan har bir kishi uchun kechayu kunduz orom yo‘qdir. Muqaddaslarning sabr-toqati mana shundadir: bular Xudoning amrlarini va Isoning imonini saqlaydiganlardir. Vahiy 14:6–12.

The book of Daniel is structured upon the three angels’ messages. That structure is both the three steps of the Hebrew word for “truth”, and the corresponding three-step testing process, but the testing process unfolds upon the historical line of the earth beast of Revelation chapter thirteen (the United States), and also the historical line of the earth beast’s two horns (Republicanism and Protestantism). The history of the United States, beginning in 1798 and continuing until the soon-coming Sunday law, is the same period of history in which the Seventh-day Adventist church exists. The book of Daniel therefore also includes the structure that portrays the history of Adventism, beginning in 1798 and continuing until the soon-coming Sunday law. In doing so, the book of Daniel identifies the same prophetic histories represented in the book of Revelation, and in so doing it provides the first witness that brings to perfection the message of the second witness. The perfection of the two books is accomplished with the same prophetic phenomenon that existed in the relationship of the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Daniyor kitobi uch farishtaning xabarlari asosida tuzilgan. Bu tuzilma ibroniy tilidagi “haqiqat” so‘zining uch bosqichini ham, unga muvofiq bo‘lgan uch bosqichli sinov jarayonini ham o‘z ichiga oladi, biroq sinov jarayoni Vahiy kitobining o‘n uchinchi bobidagi yer hayvonining tarixiy chizig‘i (Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari), shuningdek yer hayvonining ikki shoxining tarixiy chizig‘i (respublikachilik va protestantizm) ustida ochiladi. Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining 1798-yildan boshlanib, tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonunigacha davom etadigan tarixi Yettinchi kun Adventistlar jamoati mavjud bo‘lgan tarix davrining o‘zidir. Shu sababli Daniyor kitobi 1798-yildan boshlanib, tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonunigacha davom etadigan Adventizm tarixini tasvirlaydigan tuzilmani ham o‘z ichiga oladi. Shunday qilish orqali Daniyor kitobi Vahiy kitobida ifodalangan o‘sha bir xil bashoratli tarixlarni ko‘rsatib beradi va shu tariqa ikkinchi guvohning xabarini kamolga yetkazadigan birinchi guvohni taqdim etadi. Bu ikki kitobning mukammallikka yetishi Eski Ahd va Yangi Ahd o‘rtasidagi munosabatda mavjud bo‘lgan ayni bashoratli hodisa orqali amalga oshadi.

> “The history of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, as that of the Son of God, cannot be fully demonstrated without the evidence contained in the Old Testament. Christ is revealed in the Old Testament as clearly as in the New. The one testifies of a Saviour to come, while the other testifies of a Saviour that has come in the manner predicted by the prophets. In order to appreciate the plan of redemption, the Scripture of the Old Testament must be thoroughly understood. It is the glorified light from the prophetic past that brings out the life of Christ and the teachings of the New Testament with clearness and beauty. The miracles of Jesus are a proof of his divinity; but the strongest proofs that he is the world’s Redeemer are found in the prophecies of the Old Testament compared with the history of the New. Jesus said to the Jews ‘Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.’ At that time there was no other scripture in existence save that of the Old Testament; so the injunction of the Saviour is plain.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 211.

> “Xudoning O‘g‘li sifatida Isoning hayoti, o‘limi va tirilishi tarixi Eski Ahdda mavjud bo‘lgan dalillarsiz to‘la isbotlab bo‘lmaydi. Masih Eski Ahdda ham Yangi Ahddagidek ravshan ochib berilgan. Biri kelajak Najotkor haqida shahodat beradi, boshqasi esa payg‘ambarlar oldindan aytgan tarzda kelgan Najotkor haqida shahodat beradi. Najot rejasini qadrlash uchun Eski Ahd Muqaddas Yozuvlarini mukammal tushunish lozim. Aynan bashoratli o‘tmishdan porlab kelayotgan ulug‘vor nur Masihning hayotini va Yangi Ahd ta’limotlarini ravshanlik hamda go‘zallik bilan ochib beradi. Isoning mo‘jizalari Uning ilohiyligining dalilidir; ammo U dunyoning Qutqaruvchisi ekanining eng kuchli dalillari Eski Ahd bashoratlari Yangi Ahd tarixi bilan qiyoslanganda topiladi. Iso yahudiylarga shunday degan edi: ‘Muqaddas Yozuvlarni tekshiringlar; chunki ularda abadiy hayotga ega bo‘lamiz, deb o‘ylaysizlar, aynan ular Men haqimda shahodat beradi.’ O‘sha vaqtda Eski Ahdnikidan boshqa hech qanday Muqaddas Yozuv mavjud emas edi; shunday ekan, Najotkorning bu amri ravshandir.” Spirit of Prophecy, 3-jild, 211.

The “history of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus,” summarizes Christ’s work for mankind, and witnesses unto the three steps, and those three steps are the “truth.” The Hebrew word “truth,” represents Jesus, who is the first and last, the beginning and ending and the Alpha and Omega, and the word itself consist of the first and last letters representing the same thing, for as Alpha and Omega, Jesus illustrates the end of a thing, with the beginning of a thing. Christ’s life, death and resurrection are truth, for among other things they are represented by three steps, and the first and last step are both “life,” for “life” and “resurrection” are both “life.” The middle letter in the Hebrew word is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet, and thirteen is a symbol of rebellion, and Christ’s death was brought about by the rebellion of Satan and the sons of Adam, who joined in his rebellion.

“Isoga tegishli hayot, o‘lim va tirilish tarixi” Masihning insoniyat uchun qilgan ishini jamlaydi va uch qadamga guvohlik beradi; o‘sha uch qadam esa “haqiqat”dir. Ibroniycha “haqiqat” so‘zi birinchi va oxirgi, boshi va oxiri, Alfa va Omega bo‘lgan Isoni ifodalaydi; so‘zning o‘zi ham xuddi shu narsani bildiruvchi birinchi va oxirgi harflardan tarkib topgan, chunki Alfa va Omega sifatida Iso bir narsaning nihoyasini o‘sha narsaning boshlanishi bilan birga namoyon etadi. Masihning hayoti, o‘limi va tirilishi haqiqatdir, chunki, boshqa narsalar qatori, ular uch qadam bilan ifodalanadi, va birinchi hamda oxirgi qadam ikkalasi ham “hayot”dir, zero “hayot” ham, “tirilish” ham “hayot”dir. Ibroniycha so‘zdagi o‘rta harf alifboning o‘n uchinchi harfidir, o‘n uch esa isyonning ramzidir; Masihning o‘limi Shaytonning va uning isyoniga qo‘shilgan Odamning o‘g‘illarining isyoni tufayli yuzaga kelgan.

The understanding of the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation is unsealed just before the close of human probation, and a primary element of the truth unsealed at that time is that Christ is the “truth,” the Alpha and Omega, who places his signature as the Alpha and Omega upon the truths that He has ordained to exist in His Word. When Sister White wrote, “The history of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, as that of the Son of God, cannot be fully demonstrated without the evidence contained in the Old Testament. Christ is revealed in the Old Testament as clearly as in the New,” she is confirming, for those who will see, that the message of the three angels in Revelation chapter fourteen (which are also structured upon the same three steps, as “life, death and resurrection”), “cannot be fully demonstrated without the evidence contained” in the book of Daniel.

Vahiy kitobidagi Iso Masihning Vahiyini anglash insoniy sinov muddatining yopilishidan sal oldin muhrdan yechiladi, va o‘sha vaqtda muhrdan yechiladigan haqiqatning asosiy unsurlaridan biri shuki, Masih “haqiqat”dir, ya’ni O‘z Kalomida mavjud bo‘lishini O‘zi tayin etgan haqiqatlar ustiga Alfa va Omega sifatida O‘z imzosini qo‘yadigan Alfa va Omegadir. Oqsoch opa shunday deb yozganida: “Iso hayoti, o‘limi va tirilishi tarixi, ya’ni Xudoning O‘g‘li sifatidagi tarixi, Eski Ahdda mavjud dalillarsiz to‘liq isbotlab bo‘lmaydi. Masih Eski Ahdda Yangi Ahddagidek ravshan ochib berilgan,” u ko‘radiganlar uchun shuni tasdiqlamoqdaki, Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi uch farishtaning xabari (ular ham xuddi shu uch bosqich — “hayot, o‘lim va tirilish” asosida tuzilgan) Doniyor kitobida “mavjud dalillarsiz to‘liq isbotlab bo‘lmaydi.”

She is also identifying that the book of Daniel testifies of a Babylon “to come”, while the book of Revelation testifies of a Babylon that “has come” in the manner predicted by the book of Daniel. Further, the application identifies that “in order to appreciate” the book of Revelation, the book of Daniel “must be thoroughly understood”, for “it is the glorified light” from the book of Daniel “that brings out the life of Christ and the teachings” of the book of Revelation “with clearness and beauty.”

U, shuningdek, Doniyor kitobi hali “kelajakdagi” bir Bobil haqida guvohlik berishini, Vahiy kitobi esa Doniyor kitobi bashorat qilgan tarzda “kelib bo‘lgan” Bobil haqida guvohlik berishini ko‘rsatmoqda. Bundan tashqari, ushbu qo‘llanish Vahiy kitobini “qadrlash uchun” Doniyor kitobi “mukammal darajada tushunilgan bo‘lishi kerak”ligini aniqlaydi, chunki aynan Doniyor kitobidan keladigan “ulug‘langan nur” Vahiy kitobidagi Masihning hayoti va ta’limotlarini “ravshanlik va go‘zallik bilan” namoyon etadi.

Her words can also be understood to identify that “the miracles of Jesus” represented in the book of Revelation are “a proof of his divinity; but the strongest proofs that he is the world’s Redeemer are found” when the prophecies of the book of Daniel are “compared with the history” of the book of Revelation. Further it can be recognized that when “Jesus said to the Jews ‘Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me,’” that for spiritual Jews today, the book of Daniel is what testifies of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and that revelation which is unsealed just before the close of probation is where eternal life is found.

Uning so‘zlarini shuningdek shunday tushunish mumkinki, Vahiy kitobida ifodalangan “Isoning mo‘‘jizalari” “Uning ilohiyligining isboti”dir; “ammo Uning dunyoning Najotkori ekanligining eng kuchli dalillari” Doniyor kitobining bashoratlari Vahiy kitobining “tarixi bilan taqqoslanganda” topiladi. Bundan tashqari, “Iso yahudiylarga: ‘Muqaddas Yozuvlarni tadqiq qilinglar; chunki sizlar ularda abadiy hayot bor deb o‘ylaysizlar, va aynan ular Men haqimda guvohlik beradilar’, deganida”, bugungi ruhiy yahudiylar uchun Iso Masihning Vahiysi haqida guvohlik beradigan narsa Doniyor kitobi ekanini, va sinov muddati yakunlanishidan sal oldin muhrdan yechiladigan o‘sha vahiyda abadiy hayot topilishini ham anglash mumkin.

The book of Daniel sets forth the prophetic truths that are brought to perfection in the book of Revelation. It is structured upon the three steps that are represented by the Hebrew word for “truth”, and therefore the book itself represents a test for the generation when these facts are unsealed and revealed. Jesus Himself, as the Alpha and Omega, is directly emphasized in the very first words and chapter of the book of Revelation. These articles have also shown that Daniel chapter one possesses the same prophetic structure and characteristics of the first angel’s message of Revelation chapter fourteen.

Doniyor kitobi Vahiy kitobida kamolotga yetkaziladigan bashoratli haqiqatlarni bayon etadi. U ibroniy tilidagi “haqiqat” so‘zi bilan ifodalangan uch bosqich asosida tuzilgan bo‘lib, shu sababli kitobning o‘zi bu haqiqatlar muhrdan yechilib ochib beriladigan avlod uchun bir sinovni ifodalaydi. Isoning O‘zi, Alfa va Omega sifatida, Vahiy kitobining eng birinchi so‘zlari va birinchi bobidayoq bevosita alohida ta’kidlanadi. Ushbu maqolalar, shuningdek, Doniyorning birinchi bobi Vahiyning o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi birinchi farishta xabarining xuddi o‘sha bashoratli tuzilishi va xususiyatlariga ega ekanini ham ko‘rsatdi.

The first angel’s message and Daniel chapter one, both identify the three-step testing process that is the signature of Alpha and Omega. The chapter begins with literal Babylon conquering literal Judah, and the book leads to the last battle between Babylon and Judah represented in the last six verses of Daniel chapter eleven. In those verses spiritual Babylon is conquered by spiritual Judah, just as Michael stands up and human probation closes. Those verses represent the end of the prophetic history of the war between Babylon and Judah. In those verses, the healing of the deadly wound is illustrated.

Birinchi farishtaning xabari ham, Doniyor kitobining birinchi bobi ham, Alfa va Omeganing o‘ziga xos belgisi bo‘lgan uch bosqichli sinov jarayonini aniqlab beradi. Bob so‘zma-so‘z Bobilning so‘zma-so‘z Yahudoni zabt etishi bilan boshlanadi, va kitob Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi so‘nggi olti oyatda tasvirlangan Bobil bilan Yahudo o‘rtasidagi oxirgi jangga olib boradi. O‘sha oyatlarda, Maykl o‘rnidan turib, insoniy sinov muddati yakuniga yetar ekan, ruhiy Bobil xuddi ruhiy Yahudo tomonidan zabt etiladi. O‘sha oyatlar Bobil bilan Yahudo o‘rtasidagi urushning bashoratli tarixining yakunini ifodalaydi. O‘sha oyatlarda o‘limli yaraning tuzalishi tasvirlangan.

The verses that describe the healing of the deadly wound begins with verse forty of Daniel eleven, which begins with the words, “And at the time of the end.” The “time of the end” in the verse represents 1798, when the papacy was delivered its deadly wound. The verses then tell the story of how the deadly wound is healed, as the papacy conquers, first its enemy, the king of the south (the Soviet Union), second its ally, the glorious land (the United States), and third its victim, Egypt (the United Nations). In verse forty-five the papacy (the king of the north), comes to its end, with none to help. The story of the healing of the deadly wound of the papacy in the verses begins with the fall of the papacy in 1798, and it ends with the final rise and fall of the papacy. The verses between the opening of the passage and the closing of the passage identify the rebellion in the middle.

O‘limli yarasining tuzalishini tasvirlaydigan oyatlar Doniyor 11-bobning qirqinchi oyatidan boshlanadi; bu oyat “Va oxirat zamonida” degan so‘zlar bilan boshlanadi. Oyatdagi “oxirat zamoni” 1798-yilni ifodalaydi; o‘sha paytda papachilikka o‘limli yarasi yetkazilgan edi. So‘ngra oyatlar o‘limli yaraning qanday tuzalishi haqidagi voqeani bayon qiladi: papachilik avval o‘z dushmani — janub shohi (Sovet Ittifoqi)ni, keyin o‘z ittifoqchisi — ulug‘vor yurt (Qo‘shma Shtatlar)ni, uchinchidan esa o‘z qurboni — Misr (Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkiloti)ni zabt etadi. Qirq beshinchi oyatda esa papachilik (shimol shohi) o‘z nihoyasiga yetadi va unga yordam beradigan hech kim bo‘lmaydi. Oyatlardagi papachilikning o‘limli yarasining tuzalishi haqidagi hikoya 1798-yilda papachilikning qulashi bilan boshlanadi va papachilikning so‘nggi ko‘tarilishi hamda qulashi bilan yakunlanadi. Mazkur parchanning boshlanishi bilan yakuni orasidagi oyatlar esa o‘rtadagi isyonni aniqlab beradi.

The Hebrew word for “truth” was created by the first letter, the thirteenth letter and the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet being combined. Thirteen is a number that symbolizes rebellion, and the history between the first and the last. In the final passage of prophecy in the book of Daniel, the same warfare that is represented in the very first verses of the book is represented. Those verses introduce chapter one, where we find the three-step testing process that is the truth. Then in the final passage we find the same three steps as it begins with the first fall of the papacy and ends with the last fall of the papacy, and couched in the middle is the rebellion of the last days.

Ibroniy alifbosining birinchi harfi, o‘n uchinchi harfi va oxirgi harfi birlashtirilishi orqali “haqiqat” ma’nosini bildiruvchi ibroniycha so‘z hosil qilingan. O‘n uch soni isyonni va birinchi bilan oxirgi orasidagi tarixni ramziy ifodalaydi. Doniyor kitobidagi bashoratning yakuniy parchasida kitobning eng birinchi oyatlarida tasvirlangan ayni o‘sha kurash yana tasvirlanadi. O‘sha oyatlar birinchi bobga kirish bo‘lib xizmat qiladi; u yerda biz haqiqat bo‘lgan uch bosqichli sinov jarayonini topamiz. So‘ng yakuniy parchada ham ayni shu uch bosqichni ko‘ramiz, chunki u papalikning birinchi qulashidan boshlanib, papalikning oxirgi qulashida tugaydi, va o‘rtasiga so‘nggi kunlarning isyoni joylashtirilgan.

Within those final six verses of Daniel chapter eleven, is a second witness to the truth, for the first geographical power the papacy needed to overthrow (the king of the south) is a symbol of the dragon power, as is the last of the three geographical powers (Egypt). The three-step conquering that is necessary for the deadly wound to be healed, begins with the king of the south that is a symbol of the dragon power of atheism, and the last of the three powers, represented by Egypt, is the primary biblical symbol of the atheism associated with the dragon. In fact, the word translated as “south” in verse forty of the passage is “negeb,” which is sometimes translated as Egypt. The three obstacles have the signature of truth, for the first obstacle is the last obstacle. The power in the middle is the glorious land (the United States). The United States is where the rebellion of the Sunday law is brought about, and the symbol of the United States when it began was thirteen colonies.

Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi o‘sha so‘nggi olti oyat ichida haqiqatning ikkinchi guvohligi mavjud, chunki papalik ag‘darishi zarur bo‘lgan birinchi jug‘rofiy hokimiyat (janub shohi) ajdarho qudratining timsolidir; uch jug‘rofiy hokimiyatning oxirgisi (Misr) ham shundaydir. Halokatli yaraning tuzalishi uchun zarur bo‘lgan uch bosqichli zabt etish janub shohidan boshlanadi; u ateizmning ajdarho qudratining timsolidir, uch hokimiyatning oxirgisi esa, Misr orqali ifodalangan holda, ajdarho bilan bog‘liq ateizmning Muqaddas Kitobdagi asosiy timsolidir. Darhaqiqat, ushbu parchadagi qirqinchi oyatda “janub” deb tarjima qilingan so‘z “negeb”dir; u ba’zan Misr deb tarjima qilinadi. Uch to‘siqda haqiqatning muhri bor, chunki birinchi to‘siq oxirgi to‘siqdir. O‘rtadagi qudrat ulug‘vor yurtdir (Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari). Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari — yakshanba qonuni isyoni yuzaga keltiriladigan joydir, va Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining boshlanish davridagi timsoli o‘n uch mustamlaka edi.

The signature of Alpha and Omega pervades the book of Daniel, and provides the witness that, when brought together with the book of Revelation, establishes the divinity of Jesus Christ. In terms of Daniel chapter twelve, and the three-step testing process that occurs in the generation when the book is unsealed; to reject the revelation of the structure of the book of Daniel, is to be among those that are identified as the wicked. In terms of Revelation chapter fourteen, to reject the revelation of the structure of the book of Daniel, is to be among those that are identified as worshipping the beast and his image.

Alfa va Omeganning muhri Doniyor kitobi bo‘ylab singib ketgan bo‘lib, u Vahiy kitobi bilan birga qaralganda Iso Masihning ilohiyligini tasdiqlaydigan guvohlikni taqdim etadi. Doniyor kitobining o‘n ikkinchi bobiga va kitob muhrdan yechiladigan avlodda yuz beradigan uch bosqichli sinov jarayoniga ko‘ra, Doniyor kitobi tuzilishining vahiyini rad etish — yovuzlar deb belgilanganlar orasida bo‘lishdir. Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobiga ko‘ra esa, Doniyor kitobi tuzilishining vahiyini rad etish — hayvon va uning suratiga sajda qiluvchilar deb belgilanganlar orasida bo‘lishdir.

The book of Revelation identifies that just before probation closes the Revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed, and the Revelation of Jesus Christ includes the unsealing of the structure of the book of Daniel.

Vahiy kitobi sinov muddati yakunlanishidan sal avval Iso Masihning Vahiyi muhrsizlanishini ko‘rsatadi, va Iso Masihning Vahiyi Doniyor kitobining tuzilmasi muhrdan ochilishini o‘z ichiga oladi.

> “Honored by men with the responsibilities of state and with the secrets of kingdoms bearing universal sway, Daniel was honored by God as His ambassador, and was given many revelations of the mysteries of ages to come. His wonderful prophecies, as recorded by him in chapters 7 to 12 of the book bearing his name, were not fully understood even by the prophet himself; but before his life labors closed, he was given the blessed assurance that ‘at the end of the days’—in the closing period of this world’s history—he would again be permitted to stand in his lot and place. It was not given him to understand all that God had revealed of the divine purpose. ‘Shut up the words, and seal the book,’ he was directed concerning his prophetic writings; these were to be sealed ‘even to the time of the end.’ ‘Go thy way, Daniel,’ the angel once more directed the faithful messenger of Jehovah; ‘for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end…. Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.’ Daniel 12:4, 9, 13.

> “Odamlar tomonidan davlat ishlarining mas’uliyatlari va olamshumul hukmronlik qiluvchi saltanatlarning sirlariga sazovor etilgan Doniyor, Xudo tomonidan ham Uning elchisi sifatida sharaflandi va unga kelajak zamonlarning sirlari haqida ko‘p vahiylar berildi. Uning o‘z nomi bilan ataluvchi kitobning 7-bobidan 12-bobigacha o‘zi qalamga olgan ajoyib bashoratlari, hatto payg‘ambarning o‘zi tomonidan ham to‘liq anglanmagan edi; biroq hayotiy mehnatlari nihoyasiga yetishidan oldin, unga “kunlarning oxirida” — bu dunyo tarixining yakunlovchi davrida — u yana o‘z ulushi va o‘rnida turishiga ijozat berilishi haqidagi muborak ishonch ato etildi. Xudoning ilohiy maqsad haqida ochib berganlarining barchasini anglash unga berilmagan edi. “So‘zlarni yashir va kitobni muhrla”, deb unga o‘zining bashoratli yozuvlari haqida buyurildi; bular “oxirzamon vaqtigacha” muhrlangan bo‘lishi kerak edi. “Yo‘lingda davom et, ey Doniyor,” deb farishta Yahovaning sodiq xabarchisiga yana amr qildi; “chunki bu so‘zlar oxirzamon vaqtigacha yopiq va muhrlangan bo‘lur…. Sen esa oxirigacha o‘z yo‘lingda davom et; chunki sen orom olursan va kunlarning oxirida o‘z ulushingda turursan.” Doniyor 12:4, 9, 13.

> “As we near the close of this world’s history, the prophecies recorded by Daniel demand our special attention, as they relate to the very time in which we are living. With them should be linked the teachings of the last book of the New Testament Scriptures. Satan has led many to believe that the prophetic portions of the writings of Daniel and of John the revelator cannot be understood. But the promise is plain that special blessing will accompany the study of these prophecies. ‘The wise shall understand’ (verse 10), was spoken of the visions of Daniel that were to be unsealed in the latter days; and of the revelation that Christ gave to His servant John for the guidance of God’s people all through the centuries, the promise is, ‘Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’ Revelation 1:3.” Prophets and Kings, 547.

> “Biz bu dunyo tarixining yakuniga yaqinlashar ekanmiz, Doniyor qalamiga mansub bashoratlar alohida e’tiborimizni talab qiladi, chunki ular aynan biz yashayotgan davrga taalluqlidir. Ular bilan Yangi Ahd Muqaddas Bitiklarining so‘nggi kitobidagi ta’limotlar bog‘lanishi lozim. Shayton ko‘plarni Doniyor va vahiy ko‘ruvchi Yuhannoning yozuvlaridagi bashoratga oid qismlarini tushunib bo‘lmaydi, deb ishonishga yetakladi. Ammo maxsus baraka bu bashoratlarni o‘rganishga hamroh bo‘lishi haqidagi va’da ravshandir. ‘Donolar tushunurlar’ (10-oyat), degan so‘zlar keyingi kunlarda muhrdan yechiladigan Doniyor vahiylari haqida aytilgan edi; va asrlar davomida Xudoning xalqiga yo‘l-yo‘riq bo‘lishi uchun Masih O‘z quli Yuhannoga bergan vahiy haqida esa shunday va’da berilgan: ‘Ushbu bashorat so‘zlarini o‘qiydigan ham, eshitadiganlar ham, unda yozilganlarga rioya qiladiganlar ham baxtlidir’. Vahiy 1:3.” Payg‘ambarlar va Shohlar, 547.

Speaking in the future tense to her day and age, Sister White stated, “as we near the close of this world’s history”, “‘the wise will understand,” that “the prophecies recorded by Daniel demand our special attention, as they relate to the very time in which we are living.” The “many revelations of the mysteries of ages to come. His wonderful prophecies, as recorded by him in chapters seven to twelve of the book bearing his name,” are “to be unsealed in the latter days.”

Uayt opa-singil o‘z davri va zamoni haqida kelasi zamonda so‘zlab, shunday degan edi: “bu dunyo tarixining yakuniga yaqinlashar ekanmiz”, “‘donolar tushunadilar’”, ya’ni “Doniyor tomonidan yozib qoldirilgan bashoratlar bizning alohida e’tiborimizni talab qiladi, chunki ular aynan biz yashab turgan zamonga taalluqlidir.” “Kelajak asrlarning sirlari haqidagi ko‘p vahiylar. Uning o‘z nomi bilan atalgan kitobning yettidan o‘n ikkinchi boblarigacha yozib qoldirgan ajoyib bashoratlari” “oxirgi kunlarda muhrdan yechiladi.”

When the book of Daniel is unsealed, it produces a three-step purification process, that tests the generation that is living when the Lion of the tribe of Judah gives the book of Daniel to His people. In Revelation ten, Sister White informs us the angel that descended was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” In Revelation ten, the angel had a little book open in His hand, that John was commanded to take and eat. That book was unsealed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who is no less a personage than Jesus Christ, so the book John was commanded to eat was the little book of Daniel.

Doniyor kitobi muhrdan yechilganda, Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni Doniyor kitobini O‘z xalqiga bergan paytda yashayotgan avlodni sinovdan o‘tkazadigan uch bosqichli poklanish jarayonini yuzaga keltiradi. Vahiy kitobining o‘ninchi bobida Opa Uayt bizga tushib kelgan farishta “Iso Masihning O‘zidan kam bo‘lmagan zot” ekanini ma’lum qiladi. Vahiy kitobining o‘ninchi bobida farishtaning qo‘lida ochiq bir kichik kitob bor edi va Yuhannoga uni olib yeyish buyurilgan edi. O‘sha kitob Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni tomonidan muhrdan yechilgan edi; U Iso Masihning O‘zidan kam bo‘lmagan zotdir, demak Yuhannoga yeyish buyurilgan kitob Doniyorning kichik kitobi edi.

> “It was the Lion of the tribe of Judah who unsealed the book and gave to John the revelation of what should be in these last days.

> “Yahudo qabilasidan bo‘lgan Arslon kitobning muhrlarini ochdi va Yuhannoga bu oxirgi kunlarda nima bo‘lishi kerakligi haqidagi vahiy berdi.

> “Daniel stood in his lot to bear his testimony which was sealed until the time of the end, when the first angel’s message should be proclaimed to our world. These matters are of infinite importance in these last days; but while ‘many shall be purified, and made white, and tried,’ ‘the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand.’ How true this is! Sin is the transgression of the law of God; and those who will not accept the light in regard to the law of God will not understand the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel’s messages. The book of Daniel is unsealed in the revelation to John, and carries us forward to the last scenes of this earth’s history.

> “Daniyel o‘z ulushida turdi, toki oxirzamon paytiga qadar muhrlangan bo‘lgan o‘z shahodatini ko‘tarsin; o‘sha paytda birinchi farishtaning xabari bizning olamimizga e’lon qilinishi kerak edi. Bu masalalar ayni mana shu oxirgi kunlarda cheksiz ahamiyatga egadir; ammo ‘ko‘plar poklanib, oqartirilib, sinaladilar’, ‘fosiqlar esa fosiqlik qiladilar; va fosiqlardan hech biri tushunmaydi.’ Bu naqadar haqiqatdir! Gunoh — Xudoning qonunini buzishdir; va Xudoning qonuniga doir nurni qabul qilmaydiganlar birinchi, ikkinchi va uchinchi farishtalarning xabarlari e’lonini tushunmaydilar. Daniyel kitobi Yuhannoga berilgan vahiyda muhrdan yechiladi va bizni bu yer tarixining so‘nggi manzaralariga tomon olib boradi.

> “Will our brethren bear in mind that we are living amid the perils of the last days? Read Revelation in connection with Daniel. Teach these things.” Testimonies to Ministers, 115.

> “Birodarlarimiz biz so‘nggi kunlarning xatarlari orasida yashayotganimizni yodda tutadilarmi? Vahiyni Doniyor bilan bog‘liq holda o‘qing. Bu narsalarni o‘rgating.” Testimonies to Ministers, 115.

To reject the revelation of the structure of the book of Daniel, that is now being unsealed, is to be among those that are identified as the wicked. The first six chapters of Daniel establish the prophetic structure that represents the prophetic history of Adventism, the earth beast, the seventy symbolic years of Isaiah chapter twenty-three, the two horns of Protestantism and Republicanism, the prophetic history of the first and second angels’ messages, and the history of the three angels’ messages. The last six chapters of Daniel identify the prophetic messages that are unsealed in the beginning and ending of all these previously mentioned histories.

Hozir muhridan chiqarilayotgan Doniyor kitobining tuzilishi haqidagi vahiyni rad etish, yovuzlar deb ta’riflanganlar qatorida bo‘lish demakdir. Doniyorning dastlabki olti bobi Adventizmning bashoratli tarixini, yer hayvonini, Ishayo kitobining yigirma uchinchi bobidagi ramziy yetmish yilni, Protestantizm va Respublikaçilikning ikki shoxini, birinchi va ikkinchi farishtalar xabarlarining bashoratli tarixini hamda uch farishta xabarlarining tarixini ifodalovchi bashoratli tuzilmani belgilab beradi. Doniyorning so‘nggi olti bobi esa yuqorida zikr etilgan ushbu tarixlarning barchasining boshlanishi va yakunida muhridan chiqariladigan bashoratli xabarlarni ko‘rsatadi.

Chapter one of Daniel is the history of the movement of the first angel, in the beginning of the history of the earth beast. Chapters one through three is the history of the movement of the third angel, at the ending of the history of the earth beast. Chapter four is to be aligned with chapter one, as the beginning, and chapters five and six, are to be aligned with chapters one through three, as the ending. The increase of knowledge that is represented in chapters seven, eight and nine is to be aligned with chapter one as the beginning history. The increase of knowledge that is represented in chapters ten, eleven and twelve is to be aligned with chapters one through three as the ending history.

Daniyor kitobining birinchi bobi yer hayvonining tarixining boshida birinchi farishtaning harakati tarixidir. Birinchidan uchinchi boblargacha bo‘lgan qism yer hayvonining tarixining oxirida uchinchi farishtaning harakati tarixidir. To‘rtinchi bob bosh qism sifatida birinchi bob bilan muvofiqlashtirilishi kerak, beshinchi va oltinchi boblar esa yakun qismi sifatida birinchidan uchinchi boblargacha bo‘lgan qism bilan muvofiqlashtirilishi kerak. Yettinchi, sakkizinchi va to‘qqizinchi boblarda ifodalangan bilimning ortishi boshlang‘ich tarix sifatida birinchi bob bilan muvofiqlashtirilishi kerak. O‘ninchi, o‘n birinchi va o‘n ikkinchi boblarda ifodalangan bilimning ortishi esa yakuniy tarix sifatida birinchidan uchinchi boblargacha bo‘lgan qism bilan muvofiqlashtirilishi kerak.

Line upon line, this application identifies the beginning history of the earth beast as chapters one, four, seven, eight and nine. The application also identifies the ending history of the earth beast as chapters one through three, chapters five, six and ten through twelve. Thus, the book of Daniel is set forth as both the beginning and the ending of the earth beast.

Qator ustiga qator, bu tatbiq yer hayvonining boshlanish tarixini birinchi, to‘rtinchi, yettinchi, sakkizinchi va to‘qqizinchi boblar sifatida belgilaydi. Bu tatbiq, shuningdek, yer hayvonining yakuniy tarixini birinchi bobdan uchinchi bobgacha, beshinchi, oltinchi va o‘ninchi bobdan o‘n ikkinchi bobgacha bo‘lgan boblar sifatida belgilaydi. Shunday qilib, Doniyor kitobi yer hayvonining ham boshlanishi, ham yakuni sifatida taqdim etiladi.

The beginning of the earth beast can then be identified as Daniel chapter one, for chapter four, is to go over the top of chapter one (line upon line). Chapters seven, eight and nine are also to go over the top of chapter one. Therefore, the beginning of the history of the earth beast is represented by Daniel chapter one.

Shunda yer hayvonining boshlanishi Doniyor kitobining birinchi bobi sifatida aniqlanishi mumkin, chunki to‘rtinchi bob birinchi bob ustiga kelib tushishi kerak (satr ustiga satr). Yettinchi, sakkizinchi va to‘qqizinchi boblar ham birinchi bob ustiga kelib tushishi kerak. Demak, yer hayvonining tarixidagi boshlanish Doniyor kitobining birinchi bobi orqali ifodalanadi.

So too, with the ending of the earth beast. The ending of the history of the earth beast is represented by chapters one through three, and chapters five, six, ten, eleven and twelve are to go over the top of the first three chapters (line upon line), thus the ending of the history of the earth beast is represented by the first three chapters of Daniel.

Xuddi shuningdek, yer hayvonining yakuni bilan ham shunday. Yer hayvoni tarixining yakuni birinchi bobdan uchinchi bobgacha bo‘lgan boblar orqali ifodalanadi, beshinchi, oltinchi, o‘ninchi, o‘n birinchi va o‘n ikkinchi boblar esa dastlabki uch bobning ustiga tushishi kerak (satr ustiga satr); shu tariqa, yer hayvoni tarixining yakuni Doniyor kitobining dastlabki uch bobida ifodalanadi.

Chapter one represents the beginning and then chapters one through three represent the ending, and the structure of one and then three, identifies that the prophetic structure of the book of Daniel, is identical to the prophetic structure of the three angels of Revelation fourteen. There as in Daniel, the first angel represents a separate history, but is also one third of the history of the three angels. Simultaneously, as this recognition identifies and emphasizes the three and one combination, it is also the structure of the Hebrew word truth, which represents not only Christ, and the creative power of God, but also a three-step testing and purification process, that is represented in both Daniel chapter one, and then again in Daniel chapters one through three.

Birinchi bob boshlanganishni ifodalaydi, so‘ngra birinchi bobdan uchinchi bobgacha bo‘lgan boblar yakunni ifodalaydi; va bir hamda uchdan iborat bu tuzilma Doniyor kitobining bashoratli tuzilishi Vahiy kitobining o‘n to‘rtinchi bobidagi uch farishtaning bashoratli tuzilishiga aynan o‘xshash ekanini ko‘rsatadi. U yerda ham, Doniyordagidek, birinchi farishta alohida bir tarixni ifodalaydi, biroq ayni paytda u uch farishta tarixining uchdan bir qismini ham tashkil etadi. Shu bilan bir vaqtda, bu anglash uch va bir uyg‘unligini aniqlab, ta’kidlar ekan, u ibroniycha “haqiqat” so‘zining ham tuzilishidir; bu so‘z nafaqat Masihni va Xudoning yaratuvchi qudratini, balki Doniyorning birinchi bobida, so‘ngra yana Doniyorning birinchi bobidan uchinchi bobigacha tasvirlangan uch bosqichli sinov va poklanish jarayonini ham ifodalaydi.

Jesus, who is the truth, is also the First and the Last, and in that regard the history of the movement of the first angel is repeated to the very letter in the history of the three angels, so it is prophetically acceptable to place the first three chapters of Daniel over the top of Daniel chapter one, for the beginning always illustrates the ending. The book of Daniel then becomes the “little book” that is in the angel’s hand, for the “little book” of Daniel can be fully represented in Daniel chapter one.

Haqiqat bo‘lgan Iso, shuningdek, Birinchi ham, Oxirgi hamdir; va shu munosabat bilan birinchi farishtaning harakati tarixining aynan harfma-harf takrorlanishi uch farishta tarixida ham namoyon bo‘ladi. Shu bois Doniyor kitobining dastlabki uch bobini Doniyorning birinchi bobi ustiga qo‘yish payg‘ambarlik nuqtai nazaridan maqbuldir, chunki ibtido doimo intiho ni tasvirlaydi. Shunday qilib, Doniyor kitobi farishtaning qo‘lidagi “kichik kitob”ga aylanadi, zero Doniyorning “kichik kitobi” Doniyorning birinchi bobida to‘liq ifodalanishi mumkin.

We will continue our study of the book of Daniel in the next article.

Keyingi maqolada Doniyor kitobi haqidagi tadqiqimizni davom ettiramiz.

> “Among those sought for by the officers who were preparing to fulfill the provisions of the royal decree, were Daniel and his friends. When told that according to the decree they also must die, ‘with counsel and wisdom’ Daniel inquired of Arioch, the captain of the king’s guard, ‘Why is the decree so hasty from the king?’ Arioch told him the story of the king’s perplexity over his remarkable dream, and of his failure to secure help from those in whom he had hitherto placed fullest confidence. Upon hearing this, Daniel, taking his life in his hands, ventured into the king’s presence and begged that time be granted, that he might petition his God to reveal to him the dream and its interpretation.

> Podshoh farmonining qoidalarini ijro etishga hozirlik ko‘rayotgan amaldorlar izlayotganlar orasida Doniyor va uning do‘stlari ham bor edi. Farmonga ko‘ra, ular ham o‘limga mahkum etilganini eshitgach, Doniyor “maslahat va hikmat bilan” podshoh soqchilari boshlig‘i Ariyo‘xdan so‘radi: “Nima uchun podshohdan chiqqan bu farmon bunchalik shoshilinch?” Ariyo‘x unga podshohning g‘aroyib tushi sababli tushgan iztirobi va shu paytgacha eng to‘la ishonch bildirib kelgan kishilaridan yordam topa olmaganini aytib berdi. Buni eshitgach, Doniyor, o‘z jonini xatarga qo‘yib, podshoh huzuriga kirishga jur’at etdi va o‘z Xudosiga iltijo qilib, tushni ham, uning ta’birini ham unga ochib berishini so‘rash uchun muhlat berilishini yolvordi.

> “To this request the monarch acceded. ‘Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions.’ Together they sought for wisdom from the Source of light and knowledge. Their faith was strong in the consciousness that God had placed them where they were, that they were doing His work and meeting the demands of duty. In times of perplexity and danger they had always turned to Him for guidance and protection, and He had proved an ever-present help. Now with contrition of heart they submitted themselves anew to the Judge of the earth, pleading that He would grant them deliverance in this their time of special need. And they did not plead in vain. The God whom they had honored, now honored them. The Spirit of the Lord rested upon them, and to Daniel, ‘in a night vision,’ was revealed the king’s dream and its meaning.

> “Shoh bu iltimosga rozi bo‘ldi. ‘Shundan keyin Doniyor o‘z uyiga borib, bu voqeani hamrohlari Hananiyo, Mishoil va Ozariyoga ma’lum qildi.’ Birgalikda ular hikmatni nur va bilim Manbaidan izladilar. Ularning imoni shu ongda mustahkam edi: Xudo ularni turgan joylariga O‘zi qo‘ygan, ular esa Uning ishini qilayotgan va burch talablarini ado etayotgan edilar. Sarosima va xavf paytlarida ular doimo hidoyat va himoya uchun Unga yuzlangan edilar, va U hamisha hozir bo‘lgan yordam ekanini isbotlagan edi. Endi esa ular qalb nadomati bilan o‘zlarini yana yer yuzining Qoziysiga topshirib, aynan mana shu alohida zarurat vaqtida ularga najot ato etishini yolvorib so‘radilar. Va ularning iltijosi behuda bo‘lmadi. O‘zlari sharaflagan Xudo endi ularni sharafladi. Egamizning Ruhi ular ustiga qo‘ndi, va Doniyorga ‘tungi vahiyda’ shohning tushi hamda uning ma’nosi ochib berildi.”

> “Daniel’s first act was to thank God for the revelation given him. ‘Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,’ he exclaimed; ‘for wisdom and might are His: and He changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings, and setteth up kings: He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him. I thank Thee, and praise Thee, O Thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of Thee: for Thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.’” Prophets and Kings, 493, 494.

> “Doniyolning birinchi qilgan ishi unga berilgan vahiy uchun Xudoga shukrona aytish bo‘ldi. U shunday deb hayqirdi: ‘Xudoning nomi abadulabad muborak bo‘lsin; chunki hikmat va qudrat Unikidir. U zamonlar va fasllarni o‘zgartiradi; U shohlarni taxtdan tushiradi va shohlarni taxtga o‘tqazadi; U donolarga hikmatni va fahmni biluvchilarga bilimni beradi; U chuqur va maxfiy narsalarni ochib beradi; zulmatda nima borligini biladi, va nur Uning huzurida istiqomat qiladi. Ey ota-bobolarimning Xudosi, menga hikmat va qudrat berganing, va Sendan so‘ragan narsamizni endi menga ma’lum qilganing uchun Senga shukr aytaman va Seni madh etaman; chunki Sen endi shohning ishini bizga ma’lum qilding.’” Prophets and Kings, 493, 494.
