We are now in the testing period of the image of the beast, and the first prophetic controversy in Adventism’s history is now being repeated. In July of 2023, Michael the archangel descended to awaken Ezekiel’s dead dry bones, who were lying slain in the street of that great city of Sodom and Egypt. There in chapter eleven of Revelation, they are brought out of their sleep of death by the impartation of the Spirit. In chapter thirty-seven of Ezekiel, the message of the four winds is identified as the message that turns the dead dry bones, which is identified as the whole house of Israel, into the Lord’s army. The prophet Daniel represents John’s two slain witnesses, and he also represents those in the valley of dead dry bones as well as the wise virgins in the parable.

Endi biz hayvonning surati sinov davridamiz, va Adventizm tarixidagi birinchi bashoratiy ziddiyat hozir yana takrorlanmoqda. 2023-yil iyul oyida bosh farishta Mikoil Sado‘m va Misrning o‘sha buyuk shahrining ko‘chasida o‘ldirilgan holda yotgan Hizqiyolning quruq o‘lik suyaklarini uyg‘otish uchun tushib keldi. Vahiy kitobining o‘n birinchi bobida ular Ruhning ato etilishi orqali o‘lim uyqusidan chiqariladi. Hizqiyolning o‘ttiz yettinchi bobida to‘rt shamol xabari o‘lik quruq suyaklarni — butun Isroil xonadoni deb ta’riflanganlarni — Rabbiy qo‘shiniga aylantiradigan xabar ekani aniqlanadi. Doniyor payg‘ambar Yuhannoning o‘ldirilgan ikki guvohini ifodalaydi, va u, shuningdek, o‘lik quruq suyaklar vodiysidagilarni ham, masaldagi dono bokiralarni ham ifodalaydi.

When the Millerites fulfilled the parable, they recognized that their experience was represented in the parable. The one hundred and forty-four thousand will also need to recognize that they had been in the tarrying time. Like Daniel in chapter nine, they will need to recognize that they have been scattered into the enemies’ land as represented by the seven times of Leviticus twenty-six, and also understand Nebuchadnezzar’s secret image of beasts.

Millerchilar masalni bajo keltirganlarida, o‘z tajribalari o‘sha masalda ifodalanganini angladilar. Yuz qirq to‘rt ming ham o‘zlarining kechikish vaqtida bo‘lganliklarini anglashlari kerak bo‘ladi. Doniyor kitobining to‘qqizinchi bobidagi Doniyor singari, ular ham Levilar kitobining yigirma oltinchi bobidagi yetti vaqt orqali ifodalanganidek, dushmanlar yurtiga tarqatib yuborilganliklarini tan olishlari, shuningdek Navuxadnazar ko‘rgan maxfiy hayvonlar timsolini ham tushunishlari kerak bo‘ladi.

In each of these lines a prophetic test from God’s Word is represented. The two witnesses dead in the street are filled with the Spirit as they are resurrected. Ezekiel’s dead bones needed to hear a prophetic message. Daniel had been studying the writings of Moses and Jeremiah when he was awakened to his scattered condition. In chapter two Daniel and the three worthies were metaphorically awakened to the fact that they had been placed under a death decree, and then the prophetic light which had been hidden and then unsealed rescued Daniel and his three friends. The virgins of the parable are awakened by a “cry” at midnight. The Millerites were awakened when Christ removed His hand from the figures on the chart. In all six witnesses it is a prophetic message that awakens the dead or sleeping ones. It then produces a testing where two classes are manifested at the conclusion of the testing process.

Bu satrlarning har birida Xudoning Kalomidan olingan bir bashoratli sinov ifodalanadi. Ko‘chada o‘lik holda yotgan ikki guvoh tiriltirilganlarida Ruh bilan to‘ldiriladi. Hizqiyoning o‘lik suyaklari bashoratli bir xabarni eshitishga muhtoj edi. Doniyor o‘zining tarqalib ketgan ahvoliga uyg‘otilgan paytda Muso va Yeremiyoning yozuvlarini o‘rganayotgan edi. Ikkinchi bobda Doniyor va uch nafar munosib kishi majoziy ma’noda o‘zlarining o‘lim farmoni ostiga qo‘yilganliklari haqiqatiga uyg‘otildilar, so‘ngra yashirilgan bo‘lib, keyin muhrdan yechilgan bashoratli nur Doniyorni va uning uch do‘stini qutqardi. Masaldagi bokiralar yarim kechada yangragan bir “qichqiriq” orqali uyg‘otiladi. Millerchilar Masih jadvaldagi raqamlardan O‘z qo‘lini olganida uyg‘otildilar. Barcha olti guvohda o‘lik yoki uxlab yotganlarni uyg‘otadigan narsa bashoratli xabardir. So‘ng bu sinov jarayonining yakunida ikki toifa namoyon bo‘ladigan bir sinovni vujudga keltiradi.

Based upon these lines, it is established that when the one hundred and forty-four thousand are awakened in the last days, it is Ezekiel’s message of the four winds, and of Moses’ scattering of seven times in Leviticus twenty-six. It is the message of the resurrection that is brought by Michael the archangel. It is the message of Nebuchadnezzar’s secret dream of the image of beasts.

Ushbu satrlarga asoslanib, oxirgi kunlarda bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming uyg‘otilganda, bu Hizqiyolning to‘rt shamol haqidagi xabari va Musoning Levilar yigirma oltinchi bobda aytilgan yetti karra tarqatilishidir, degan xulosa qat’iy o‘rnatiladi. Bu bosh farishta Mikoil olib keladigan tirilish xabaridir. Bu Navuxadnazarning maxfiy haykalli maxluqlar tushining xabaridir.

The virgins are tested based upon whether they have oil, which is identified as “the messages of God’s spirit.” The Millerites were awakened when they realized they were identified within God’s prophetic Word, and also when they saw the same evidence that first led them to predict 1843 actually predicted October 22, 1844. Based upon these lines, it is established that when the one hundred and forty-four thousand are awakened in the last days, they will be awakened to a prophetic testing message which produces two classes of worshippers.

Bokiralar ularda moy bor-yo‘qligiga qarab sinovdan o‘tkaziladi; bu moy “Xudo Ruhining xabarlari” deb ta’riflanadi. Millerchilar o‘zlarining Xudoning bashoratli Kalomida ko‘rsatilganini anglaganlarida, shuningdek, dastlab ularni 1843-yilni oldindan aytishga olib kelgan o‘sha dalillar aslida 1844-yil 22-oktyabrni ko‘rsatganini ko‘rganlarida uyg‘otildilar. Ushbu yo‘nalishlarga asoslanib, oxirgi kunlarda bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming uyg‘otilganda, ular ibodat qiluvchilarning ikki toifasini yuzaga keltiradigan bashoratli sinov xabariga uyg‘otilishlari belgilab qo‘yilgan.

All of these lines find their perfect and final fulfillment in the period of prophetic testing represented by the formation of the image to and of the beast. That test is finished when probation closes upon the virgins at the Sunday law. Therefore, the image of the beast testing process that is repeatedly represented as a test that manifests who have understood the message that was unsealed, is represented by all these prophetic lines. In Daniel twelve the wise who understand the increase of knowledge navigate a three-step testing process represented as being made pure, white and tried. Those three steps are the steps of conviction brought by the Holy Spirit, representing a conviction of sin, righteousness and judgment. Those three steps are the courtyard, the holy place and the Most Holy Place. Those three steps are also represented in the three angels of Revelation fourteen as well as in the experience of Daniel and the three worthies in chapter one. There they first passed a dietary test, then a visual test and finally they passed the third test given by the king of the north—represented by Nebuchadnezzar.

Bu satrlarning barchasi yirtqich hayvonning surati uchun va suratiga oid shakllanish orqali ifodalangan bashoratli sinov davrida o‘zining mukammal va yakuniy bajo bo‘lishini topadi. Bu sinov Yakshanba qonuni vaqtida bokira qizlar uchun sinov muddati yopilganda nihoyasiga yetadi. Shunday ekan, qayta-qayta muhrdan ochilgan xabarni kimlar anglaganini namoyon qiladigan sinov sifatida tasvirlangan yirtqich hayvon surati sinov jarayoni ushbu bashoratli yo‘nalishlarning barchasida ifodalanadi. Daniel o‘n ikkinchi bobda bilimning ortishini tushunadigan dono kishilar poklanish, oqartirilish va sinalish sifatida ifodalangan uch bosqichli sinov jarayonidan o‘tadilar. Bu uch bosqich Muqaddas Ruh olib keladigan ishonch hosil qilish bosqichlari bo‘lib, gunoh, solihlik va hukm haqidagi ishontirishni ifodalaydi. Bu uch bosqich hovli, Muqaddas joy va Eng Muqaddas joydir. Bu uch bosqich, shuningdek, Vahiy o‘n to‘rtinchi bobdagi uch farishta orqali ham, Daniel va birinchi bobdagi uch munosib zotning tajribasi orqali ham ifodalanadi. U yerda ular avval taomga oid sinovdan, so‘ng ko‘rish bilan bog‘liq sinovdan o‘tdilar va nihoyat shimol podshohi—Navuxadnazar orqali ifodalangan—bergan uchinchi sinovdan ham muvaffaqiyatli o‘tdilar.

> As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. Daniel 1:17–20.

> Bu to‘rt bolaga kelsak, Xudo ularga barcha ilm va hikmatda bilim hamda mahorat berdi; Doniyorda esa barcha vahiylar va tushlarni anglash qobiliyati bor edi. Shoh ularni huzuriga keltirish belgilangan kunlarning oxirida, bosh amaldor ularni Nebukadnazar huzuriga olib kirdi. Shoh ular bilan suhbatlashdi; va ularning barchasi orasida Doniyor, Hananiya, Mishoel va Ozariyoga teng keladigani topilmadi; shu bois ular shoh huzurida turdilar. Shoh ulardan so‘ragan hikmat va farosatga oid barcha masalalarda, u ularni butun saltanatidagi barcha sehrgarlar va munajjimlardan o‘n hissa afzal deb topdi. Doniyor 1:17–20.

The last of three tests for Daniel and the three worthies was a test carried out by Nebuchadnezzar, thus typifying the final prophetic test Daniel and the three worthies typify is about Babylon, for Nebuchadnezzar was the king, which in Isaiah chapter seven, verses eight and nine establishes a king, a capital of a nation and a “head” which are interchangeable symbols. The “head” is representing the head of Modern Babylon in the last days. That “head” in the last days is the whore of Revelation seventeen, who has written upon her forehead, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

Doniyor va uch sodiq yigit uchun bo‘lgan uch sinovning oxirgisi Navuxodonosor tomonidan o‘tkazilgan sinov edi; shu tariqa, Doniyor va uch sodiq yigit timsol qiladigan yakuniy bashoratli sinov Bobil haqida ekanini ifodalaydi, chunki Navuxodonosor podsho edi; Ishayo kitobining yettinchi bob, sakkizinchi va to‘qqizinchi oyatlarida podsho, bir xalqning poytaxti va “bosh” o‘zaro almashib qo‘llanadigan timsollar sifatida belgilab beriladi. “Bosh” oxirgi kunlardagi Zamonaviy Bobilning boshini ifodalaydi. Oxirgi kunlardagi o‘sha “bosh” Vahiy kitobining o‘n yettinchi bobidagi fohishadir; uning peshonasiga shunday yozilgan: “SIR, BUYUK BOBIL, FOHISHALARNING VA YER YUZIDAGI JIRKANCHLIKLARNING ONASI.”

The one hundred and forty-four thousand’s last prophetic test is associated with a correct or incorrect understanding of the “head” of modern Babylon in the last days. Their last test also includes understanding that modern Babylon and Modern Rome are interchangeable symbols, and therefore modern Babylon’s “head” is the same “head” in either line, for they are interchangeable symbols.

Yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining oxirgi bashoratli sinovi oxirgi kunlarda zamonaviy Bobilning “boshi”ni to‘g‘ri yoki noto‘g‘ri anglash bilan bog‘liqdir. Ularning oxirgi sinovi, shuningdek, zamonaviy Bobil va Zamonaviy Rim o‘zaro almashinadigan ramzlar ekanini, va shu bois zamonaviy Bobilning “boshi” har ikkala yo‘nalishda ham ayni o‘sha “bosh” ekanini anglashni ham o‘z ichiga oladi, chunki ular o‘zaro almashinadigan ramzlardir.

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

> “Dunyo bo‘ron, urush va nizolar bilan to‘lib-toshgan. Shunga qaramay, bir boshliq — papalik hokimiyati — ostida xalq Uning guvohlari timsolida Xudoga qarshi turish uchun birlashadi.” Guvohliklar, 7-jild, 182.

Daniel and the three worthies illustrate that the final prophetic test, for it is always a test upon prophecy, is a test over the subject of Rome, for the head in the last days is the papal power, who is typified by Nebuchadnezzar, the first head of Babylon, who personally tested Daniel and the three worthies. The controversy typified by Daniel and the three worthies, is also prefigured by the first controversy in the foundational history of Adventism, as represented upon the 1843 chart, which was directed by the hand of the Lord, and was not to be altered. The controversy represented upon the 1843 chart was based upon identifying Antiochus Epiphanes or pagan Rome as the power who established the vision in verse fourteen of Daniel chapter eleven.

Doniyor va uch sodiq yigit shuni namoyon etadiki, oxirgi bashoratli sinov, chunki u har doim bashorat ustidagi sinovdir, Rim mavzusi ustidagi sinovdir; zero oxirgi kunlardagi bosh papalik hokimiyatidir, u Bobilning birinchi boshi bo‘lgan, Doniyor va uch sodiq yigitni shaxsan sinovdan o‘tkazgan Navuxodonosor orqali timsollangan. Doniyor va uch sodiq yigit orqali timsollangan tortishuv, shuningdek, Rabbimizning qo‘li bilan yo‘naltirilgan va o‘zgartirilmasligi kerak bo‘lgan 1843 yilgi jadvalda aks ettirilganidek, Adventizmning poydevor tarixidagi birinchi tortishuv orqali ham oldindan ko‘rsatilgan. 1843 yilgi jadvalda ifodalangan tortishuv, Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi o‘n to‘rtinchi oyatda vahiy(ni) barpo etgan kuch kim ekani — Antiox Epifanmi yoki butparast Rimmi — shuni aniqlashga asoslangan edi.

In the history of the last days the one hundred and forty-four thousand will be tested upon their prophetic understanding. Prophetic understanding is established by the several lines of prophecy that uphold the final test as prophetic in nature. The test will be progressive and will reach its conclusion with a manifestation of two classes of worshippers.

Oxirgi kunlar tarixida yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishi o‘zlarining bashoratli tushunchalari asosida sinovdan o‘tkaziladi. Bashoratli tushuncha, yakuniy sinovning mohiyatan bashoratli ekanini tasdiqlovchi bir nechta bashorat yo‘llari orqali qaror topadi. Bu sinov bosqichma-bosqich rivojlanadi va oxir-oqibat ikki toifa sajda qiluvchilarning namoyon bo‘lishi bilan o‘z xulosasiga yetadi.

As represented in Daniel chapter twelve, the testing begins when new prophetic light is unsealed, and the first test is then whether to eat the message or reject the message. That test is represented by Daniel as “purified,” and the next test Daniel called, “made white,” and the process ended at the third and final test represented as “tried.” The third and final test is where the two classes are “tried,” and it is there they manifest whether they have oil, or not.

Doniyor kitobining o‘n ikkinchi bobida tasvirlanganidek, sinov yangi bashoratli nur muhrdan yechilganda boshlanadi va birinchi sinov xabarni yeyish yoki xabarni rad etish masalasidir. Bu sinov Doniyor tomonidan “poklangan” deb ifodalanadi, keyingi sinovni esa Doniyor “oq qilingan” deb ataydi, va jarayon “sinab ko‘rilgan” deb tasvirlangan uchinchi hamda yakuniy sinovda nihoyasiga yetadi. Uchinchi va yakuniy sinov — bu ikki toifa “sinab ko‘riladigan” joy bo‘lib, aynan o‘sha yerda ularda moy bor-yo‘qligi namoyon bo‘ladi.

Daniel chapter one directly identifies the last test, and therefore Daniel is identifying the test which is represented as “the formation of the image of the beast” which is the “test God’s people must pass,” both before “they are sealed” and also before “probation closes” at the soon-coming Sunday law.

Doniyor kitobining birinchi bobi oxirgi sinovni bevosita aniqlab beradi; shu bois Doniyor “hayvonning suratining shakllantirilishi” sifatida tasvirlangan sinovni aniqlamoqda; bu esa yaqinda keladigan Yakshanba qonunida “muhrlanishlaridan” oldin ham, shuningdek “sinov muddati yopilishidan” oldin ham “Xudoning xalqi o‘tishi lozim bo‘lgan sinov”dir.

The test of how the image of the beast is formed involves the prophetic test of understanding the threefold union’s prophetic structure. The dragon, the beast and the false prophet have a specific prophetic structure that is established upon a multitude of prophetic witnesses. To understand how the threefold union comes together as a single prophetic power in the last days is to understand how the image of the beast is formed.

Hayvon suratining qanday shakllanishi sinovi uch tomonlama ittifoqning bashoratli tuzilishini anglashga doir bashoratli sinovni o‘z ichiga oladi. Ajdaho, hayvon va soxta payg‘ambar ko‘plab bashoratli guvohlar asosida mustahkamlangan muayyan bashoratli tuzilishga ega. So‘nggi kunlarda uch tomonlama ittifoq qanday qilib yagona bashoratli qudrat sifatida birlashishini tushunish — hayvon surati qanday shakllanishini tushunishdir.

A simple, but complex illustration of the importance of understanding how the image of the beast is formed in the last days is Paul’s testimony of the man of sin in chapter two of 2 Thessalonians. Paul addresses the prophetic relationship of pagan Rome and papal Rome, and when he does so, he identifies that “the prophetic relationship of pagan Rome and papal Rome” is a subject that manifests two classes of worshippers.

Oxirgi kunlarda hayvonning surati qanday shakllanishini tushunishning ahamiyatiga doir sodda, ammo murakkab bir misol — Pavlusning 2 Salonikaliklarga maktubining ikkinchi bobida gunoh odami haqidagi guvohligidir. Pavlus butparast Rim va papalik Rimining bashoratli o‘zaro munosabatiga murojaat qiladi va buni qilarkan, “butparast Rim va papalik Rimining bashoratli o‘zaro munosabati” ikki toifa sajda qiluvchilarni namoyon etadigan mavzu ekanini ko‘rsatadi.

One group that loves the truth of “the prophetic relationship of pagan Rome and papal Rome,” and another group that doesn’t love that truth and therefore receive strong delusion. The prophetic relationship of pagan Rome and papal Rome that Paul set forth is but one of many prophetic passages that represent the relationship of those two powers, and also the relationship of those two powers with the United States.

Bir guruh “butparast Rim va papalik Rimining bashoratli munosabati” haqidagi haqiqatni sevadi, boshqa bir guruh esa bu haqiqatni sevmaydi va shuning uchun qattiq aldanishga duchor bo‘ladi. Pavlus bayon etgan butparast Rim va papalik Rimining bashoratli munosabati ana shu ikki hokimiyat o‘rtasidagi munosabatni, shuningdek, o‘sha ikki hokimiyatning Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari bilan bo‘lgan munosabatini ifodalovchi ko‘plab bashoratli parchalardan faqat bittasidir.

Pagan Rome is the dragon, papal Rome is the beast and the United States is the false prophet. Ahab is the dragon king of ten kings, who is married to Jezebel the whore, who rules over a twofold set of false prophets. The male prophets were the prophets of Baal, and the priests of the grove represented the female goddess Ashtaroth. Together they typify the false prophet of the last days who forms and image of the beast as represented by the female priests and the male prophets.

Butparast Rim ajdahodir, papalik Rim mahluqdir, va Amerika Qoʻshma Shtatlari soxta paygʻambardir. Axab oʻn podshohning ajdaho podshohidir; u fohisha Izabelga uylangan boʻlib, u soxta paygʻambarlarning ikki tomonlama toʻdasi ustidan hukmronlik qiladi. Erkak paygʻambarlar Baalning paygʻambarlari edi, va butazor ruhoniylari ayol maʼbuda Ashtoretni ifoda etar edi. Ular birgalikda, ayol ruhoniyalar va erkak paygʻambarlar orqali ifodalanganidek, mahluqning suratini yasaydigan oxirgi kunlarning soxta paygʻambarini timsollaydi.

The dragon is Ahab, who is a symbol of the ten kings of Revelation seventeen, and is the seventh kingdom of eight kingdoms. The sixth kingdom is the United States, Jezebel’s false prophets; the seventh kingdom is the ten kings, the United Nations, the dragon power, and the eighth kingdom, that is of the seven is the fifth kingdom that received a deadly wound, who is resurrected as the eighth and final kingdom which is the beast, that the United States and thereafter the entire world makes an image to and of.

Ajdaho — Vahiyning o‘n yettinchi bobidagi o‘n shohning ramzi bo‘lgan Axabdir va u sakkizta shohlik ichidagi yettinchi shohlikdir. Oltinchi shohlik — Qo‘shma Shtatlar, Izabelning soxta payg‘ambarlari; yettinchi shohlik — o‘n shoh, Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkiloti, ajdaho qudrati; yetti shohlikdan bo‘lgan sakkizinchi shohlik esa halokatli yara olgan beshinchi shohlik bo‘lib, u sakkizinchi va oxirgi shohlik sifatida, ya’ni hayvon sifatida tiriltiriladi; Qo‘shma Shtatlar, so‘ngra esa butun dunyo unga va undan bir surat yasaydi.

Daniel chapter one identifies a final prophetic test that involves understanding Rome as represented within God’s Word. 2 Thessalonians identifies that the final prophetic test includes light concerning the structure of Modern Rome, as represented by the prophetic and political relationship between pagan and papal Rome.

Doniyor kitobining birinchi bobi Xudoning Kalomida ifodalangan Rimni anglashni o‘z ichiga oladigan yakuniy bashoratli sinovni belgilab beradi. 2 Salonikaliklarga maktub esa yakuniy bashoratli sinov butparast Rim va papalik Rimi o‘rtasidagi bashoratli hamda siyosiy munosabat bilan ifodalangan Zamonaviy Rimning tuzilishiga oid nurni o‘z ichiga olishini ko‘rsatadi.

Daniel chapter two illustrates that there is a secret that is unsealed in the last days that tests the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for Daniel and the three worthies in chapter two represent God’s last-day people. The prophetic secret that is unsealed, and therefore tests them, is Nebuchadnezzar’s secret dream of the image of the beasts, thus representing the last test for the one hundred and forty-four thousand which is, as Sister White recorded, “the formation of the image of the beast.”

Doniyor kitobining ikkinchi bobi shuni ko‘rsatadiki, oxirgi kunlarda ochiladigan bir sir bor va u yuz qirq to‘rt mingni sinaydi, chunki ikkinchi bobdagi Doniyor va uch sodiq yigit Xudoning oxirgi kunlardagi xalqini ifodalaydi. Ochiladigan bashoratli sir va shu tariqa ularni sinaydigan narsa — Nebukadnazar ko‘rgan maxluqning surati haqidagi maxfiy tushdir; shu bois u, Opa Uayt qayd etganidek, yuz qirq to‘rt ming uchun oxirgi sinovni ifodalaydi, ya’ni “maxluq suratining tashkil topishi.”

The test represented by chapter two of Daniel is placed under the threat of death. As an illustration of the last days, it is confirming what Paul taught when he identified the strong delusion that comes upon those who do not love the truth. In Daniel’s history, his understanding saved the wise men of Babylon, but there is no probation after the final test of the last days.

Doniyor kitobining ikkinchi bobida tasvirlangan sinov o‘lim tahdidi ostida qo‘yilgan. Oxirgi kunlarning timsoli sifatida u Pavlusning haqiqatni sevmaganlar ustiga keladigan kuchli adashish haqida ta’lim berganini tasdiqlaydi. Doniyorning tarixida uning tushunchasi Bobilning donishmandlarini qutqardi, biroq oxirgi kunlarning yakuniy sinovidan keyin endi sinov muddati yo‘q.

Every line of the controversy over Rome as a symbol that we have identified provides direct witness to the controversy that is now under way. As the movement for Sunday legislation is now making its way in darkness, God’s prophetic Word is identifying its approach, though very few souls are children of the day, and those who are not children of the day, are therefore unaware that the sands of probationary time are rapidly running out. This is occurring in the context identified by Sister White, where the final movements will be rapid ones. In July, 2023, Michael descended to bring His mighty army to its feet, but to be part of the army there is a prophetic work that must first be accomplished, and it is accomplished in the political environment where the image of the beast is being formed.

Biz Rimni ramz sifatida aniqlagan bahsning har bir yo‘nalishi hozir davom etayotgan bahsga bevosita guvohlik bermoqda. Yakshanba qonunchiligi harakati hozir zulmat ichida o‘z yo‘lini topib borayotgan ekan, Xudoning bashoratli Kalomi uning yaqinlashayotganini ko‘rsatib turibdi, garchi juda oz sonli jonlar kunduz farzandlari bo‘lsa-da; kunduz farzandlari bo‘lmaganlar esa sinov muddatining qumlari tezlik bilan tugab borayotganidan bexabardirlar. Bu Sister White tomonidan ko‘rsatib berilgan sharoit doirasida yuz bermoqda, ya’ni yakuniy harakatlar tez sodir bo‘ladigan bo‘ladi. 2023-yil iyulida Michael O‘zining qudratli lashkarini oyoqqa turg‘izish uchun pastga tushdi, biroq lashkarning bir qismi bo‘lish uchun avvalo bajo keltirilishi lozim bo‘lgan bir bashoratli ish bor, va u mahluqning surati shakllantirilayotgan siyosiy muhitda amalga oshiriladi.

The prophetic work that must be accomplished includes a recognition of the formation of the image of the beast. The student of prophecy must recognize by the events taking place in the current history that the religious and political factors that produce the image of the beast in the United States are under way. The student must also recognize how the image of the beast is prophetically formed as set forth in God’s Word. He must also recognize that as the image of the beast is being formed in the United States, that the image of God is being formed in the one hundred and forty-four thousand. He must understand the parallel of last-day history with the Millerites during the development of the Midnight Cry message in their history, when they were awakened to the fact that they were in the tarrying time of the parable, and therefore they themselves are the virgins. All three elements are part of the prophetic test which began to play out in July of 2023.

Bajarilishi lozim bo‘lgan bashoratli ish mahluqning suratining shakllanishini tan olishni ham o‘z ichiga oladi. Bashorat talabasi hozirgi tarixda sodir bo‘layotgan voqealar orqali Qo‘shma Shtatlarda mahluqning suratini yuzaga keltiradigan diniy va siyosiy omillar ishga tushganini tan olishi kerak. Talaba, shuningdek, Xudoning Kalomida bayon etilganidek, mahluqning surati bashoratan qanday shakllanishini ham anglashi lozim. U yana shuni ham tan olishi kerakki, Qo‘shma Shtatlarda mahluqning surati shakllanayotgan ekan, shu bilan bir vaqtda bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingda Xudoning surati shakllantirilmoqda. U oxirgi kunlar tarixining Milleritlar tarixidagi Yarim Tungi Nido xabarining rivojlanishi davridagi hodisalar bilan o‘xshashligini tushunishi kerak; o‘sha paytda ular masaldagi kechikish vaqtida ekanliklari va shuning uchun bokira qizlarning o‘zlari ekanliklari haqiqatiga uyg‘otilgan edilar. Ushbu uchala unsur ham 2023-yil iyulida namoyon bo‘la boshlagan bashoratli sinovning bir qismidir.

“Line upon line” each controversy over Rome that has arisen in Advent history was sacred history that is repeated in the last days. The final controversy over Rome is in direct consequence of God’s people refusing to awaken at the message that arrived in July of 2023.

“Qator ustiga qator” tarzida, Advent tarixida Rim haqidagi yuzaga kelgan har bir bahs-munozara muqaddas tarix bo‘lib, u oxirgi kunlarda takrorlanadi. Rim haqidagi yakuniy bahs to‘g‘ridan-to‘g‘ri Xudoning xalqining 2023-yil iyul oyida yetib kelgan xabar uyg‘otishiga javoban uyg‘onishdan bosh tortganining oqibatidir.

> “God will arouse His people; if other means fail, heresies will come in among them, which will sift them, separating the chaff from the wheat. The Lord calls upon all who believe His word to awake out of sleep. Precious light has come, appropriate for this time. It is Bible truth, showing the perils that are right upon us. This light should lead us to a diligent study of the Scriptures and a most critical examination of the positions which we hold. God would have all the bearings and positions of truth thoroughly and perseveringly searched, with prayer and fasting. Believers are not to rest in suppositions and ill-defined ideas of what constitutes truth. Their faith must be firmly founded upon the word of God so that when the testing time shall come and they are brought before councils to answer for their faith they may be able to give a reason for the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear.

> “Xudo O‘z xalqini uyg‘otadi; agar boshqa vositalar samara bermasa, ular orasiga bid’atlar kirib keladi, va ular elakdan o‘tkazilganday ularni sinab, somonni bug‘doydan ajratadi. Rabbiy O‘z kalomiga ishonadiganlarning barchasini uyqudan uyg‘onishga chorlaydi. Qimmatli nur kelgan, ayni shu zamon uchun munosib nur. Bu — Muqaddas Kitob haqiqati bo‘lib, ustimizga yaqinlashib kelayotgan xavf-xatarlarni ko‘rsatadi. Bu nur bizni Muqaddas Yozuvlarni qunt bilan o‘rganishga va biz tutib turgan qarashlarni nihoyatda sinchkovlik bilan tekshirishga yetaklashi kerak. Xudo haqiqatning barcha jihatlari va qarashlari ibodat va ro‘za bilan puxta hamda qat’iyat bilan tadqiq etilishini istaydi. Imonlilar haqiqat nimadan iborat ekani haqidagi taxminlar va noaniq tasavvurlarga tayanib qolmasliklari kerak. Ularning imoni Xudoning kalomi ustiga mustahkam asoslanmog‘i lozim, toki sinov vaqti kelganda va ular o‘z e’tiqodlari uchun javob berish maqsadida kengashlar oldiga olib chiqilganlarida, ichlaridagi umidning sababini muloyimlik va qo‘rquv bilan bayon eta olsinlar.

> “Agitate, agitate, agitate. The subjects which we present to the world must be to us a living reality. It is important that in defending the doctrines which we consider fundamental articles of faith we should never allow ourselves to employ arguments that are not wholly sound. These may avail to silence an opposer, but they do not honor the truth. We should present sound arguments, that will not only silence our opponents, but will bear the closest and most searching scrutiny. With those who have educated themselves as debaters there is great danger that they will not handle the word of God with fairness. In meeting an opponent it should be our earnest effort to present subjects in such a manner as to awaken conviction in his mind, instead of seeking merely to give confidence to the believer.

> “Qoʻzgʻating, qoʻzgʻating, qoʻzgʻating. Biz dunyoga taqdim etayotgan mavzular biz uchun tirik haqiqat boʻlmogʻi lozim. Biz e’tiqodning asosiy maqolalari deb hisoblaydigan ta’limotlarni himoya qilar ekanmiz, mutlaqo puxta bo‘lmagan dalillardan foydalanishga o‘zimizga hech qachon yo‘l qo‘ymasligimiz muhimdir. Bunday dalillar qarshi chiquvchini jim qoldirishga xizmat qilishi mumkin, ammo ular haqiqatni sharaflamaydi. Biz nafaqat raqiblarimizni jim qoldiradigan, balki eng yaqin va eng sinchkov tekshiruvga ham bardosh beradigan puxta dalillarni taqdim etishimiz kerak. O‘zlarini munozarachi sifatida tarbiyalaganlar orasida Xudoning kalomini xolisona muomala qilmaslik xavfi kattadir. Raqib bilan yuzma-yuz kelganda, bizning jiddiy sa’y-harakatimiz faqat imonliga ishonch bag‘ishlashni emas, balki mavzularni uning ongida ishontiruvchi qat’iy ishonch uyg‘otadigan tarzda taqdim etishga qaratilgan bo‘lishi kerak.”

> “Whatever may be man’s intellectual advancement, let him not for a moment think that there is no need of thorough and continuous searching of the Scriptures for greater light. As a people we are called individually to be students of prophecy. We must watch with earnestness that we may discern any ray of light which God shall present to us. We are to catch the first gleamings of truth; and through prayerful study clearer light may be obtained, which can be brought before others.” Testimonies, Volume 5, 708.

> “Insonning aqliy taraqqiyoti qanchalik yuksak bo‘lmasin, u bir lahza ham Muqaddas Yozuvlarni yanada buyukroq nur uchun puxta va uzluksiz tadqiq etishga ehtiyoj yo‘q, deb o‘ylamasin. Xalq sifatida bizning har birimiz alohida ravishda bashoratning talabasi bo‘lishga da’vat etilganmiz. Xudo bizga taqdim etadigan har qanday nur shu’lasini ajrata olishimiz uchun biz jiddiy hushyorlik bilan kuzatmog‘imiz lozim. Biz haqiqatning ilk yaltirashlarini tutib olishimiz kerak; va ibodat bilan olib borilgan tadqiq orqali yanada ravshanroq nur olinishi mumkin, bu esa boshqalar oldiga taqdim etilishi mumkin.” Testimonies, 5-jild, 708.

The Protestants of Miller’s time refused to be governed by the rules of grammar, and chose to ignore the word “also” in verse fourteen, which grammatically defines that “the robbers of thy people” represented a new power being introduced to the flow of events that were represented in the verses where verse fourteen is located. Uriah Smith did the very same thing when he ignored the grammatical evidence that proves the king of the north in verse thirty-six and later in verse forty had to be the same king of the north that had been the subject since verse thirty-one.

Miller davridagi protestantlar grammatika qoidalari bilan boshqarilishni rad etdilar va o‘n to‘rtinchi oyatdagi “shuningdek” so‘zini e’tiborsiz qoldirishni tanladilar; holbuki, grammatik jihatdan bu so‘z “sening xalqingning talonchilari” oyat o‘n to‘rt joylashgan parchalarda tasvirlangan voqealar oqimiga kiritilayotgan yangi bir hokimiyatni ifodalashini belgilaydi. Uriah Smith ham xuddi shunday yo‘l tutdi: u o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatdagi va keyinroq qirqinchi oyatdagi shimol shohi o‘ttiz birinchi oyatdan beri mavzu bo‘lib kelayotgan ayni o‘sha shimol shohi bo‘lishi kerakligini isbotlovchi grammatik dalillarni e’tiborsiz qoldirdi.

Today those who teach the United States is the “robbers” employ a passage from Sister White that identifies the papal power and the United States as the two primary persecuting powers of the last days, and twist the grammar to argue that the reference of “old world” which Sister White uses to define Europe actually represents past history. The grammar in the passage proves this to be an incorrect assumption, and the way in which Sister White uses “old world” in the passage agrees with how she uses it other places in her writings. When she does so she is also in agreement with historians who use the expression “old world” in relation to the “new world” to make a distinction between Europe and the Americas.

Bugun Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarini “qaroqchilar” deb o‘rgatuvchilar Sister White’ning papalik hokimiyatini va Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarini oxirgi kunlarning ikki asosiy ta’qibchi kuchi sifatida belgilovchi bir parchadan foydalanib, grammatika tuzilishini buzib talqin qiladilar va Sister White Yevropani ta’riflash uchun qo‘llagan “old world” iborasi aslida o‘tmish tarixni anglatadi, deb da’vo qiladilar. Parchadagi grammatika bu taxminning noto‘g‘ri ekanini isbotlaydi, va Sister White mazkur parchada “old world” iborasini qanday qo‘llagan bo‘lsa, o‘z yozuvlarining boshqa joylarida ham uni xuddi shunday qo‘llaydi. U buni qilganida, “old world” iborasini “new world”ga nisbatan Yevropa bilan Amerikalar o‘rtasidagi farqni ko‘rsatish uchun ishlatadigan tarixchilar bilan ham hamfikr bo‘ladi.

> “Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.” The Great Controversy, 615.

> “Eski Dunyodagi rim-katoliklik va Yangi Dunyodagi murtad protestantizm ilohiy amrlarning barchasini ulug‘laydiganlarga nisbatan o‘xshash yo‘l tutadi.” Buyuk Kurash, 615.

Grammatically the expression “will pursue” identifies that both powers represented by the “old world” and the “new” both “pursue” the persecution of God’s people in the last days, and it is grammatically flawed to claim this sentence is referring to the “old world” as past history, and “new” as the last days. “Line upon line” all the old controversies of Rome inform the student of prophecy of the last days that when they are awakened to the image of the beast test, it will include an environment where the correct identification of the robbers of thy people is manifested. The correct understanding of the “robbers,” is set forth upon the 1843 pioneer chart, and is therefore a foundational truth, that was confirmed by the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy. This identifies that when the students of prophecy awaken to their final test, the subject of the “robbers,” will also represent the final attack upon the foundational truths, and the Spirit of Prophecy.

Grammatik jihatdan “quvib boradi” degan ifoda “eski dunyo” va “yangi” tomonidan ifodalangan ikkala kuch ham oxirgi kunlarda Xudoning xalqini quvg‘in qilishni “quvib borishini” bildiradi; shu bois, bu gap “eski dunyo”ni o‘tgan tarix, “yangi”ni esa oxirgi kunlar deb nazarda tutadi, degan da’vo grammatik jihatdan nuqsonlidir. “Satr ustiga satr” tarzida Rimning barcha eski bahs-munozaralari oxirgi kunlar haqidagi bashoratni o‘rganuvchi kishiga shuni bildiradiki, ular hayvonning surati sinoviga uyg‘onganlarida, bu sening xalqingning talonchilarini to‘g‘ri aniqlash namoyon bo‘ladigan bir muhitni ham o‘z ichiga oladi. “Talonchilar”ning to‘g‘ri tushunchasi 1843-yilgi pionerlar jadvalida bayon etilgan bo‘lib, shu sababli u Bashorat Ruhi hokimiyati bilan tasdiqlangan asosiy haqiqatdir. Bu shuni ko‘rsatadiki, bashorat talabalari o‘zlarining yakuniy sinoviga uyg‘onganlarida, “talonchilar” mavzusi asosiy haqiqatlarga va Bashorat Ruhiga qaratilgan yakuniy hujumni ham ifodalaydi.
