Daniel is identified in chapter ten, as being resurrected from the days of mourning by the three-step process of the everlasting gospel. Gabriel then provides Daniel with the prophetic history of chapter eleven, thus identifying the history of the light of the great River Hiddekel.

O‘ninchi bobda Doniyor abadiy xushxabarning uch bosqichli jarayoni orqali motam kunlaridan tiriltirilgan shaxs sifatida ko‘rsatiladi. So‘ng Jabroil Doniyorga o‘n birinchi bobning bashoratli tarixini bayon qiladi va shu tariqa ulug‘ Hiddekel daryosining nuriga oid tarixni aniqlab beradi.

> “There is need of a much closer study of the Word of God. Especially should Daniel and the Revelation have attention as never before in the history of our work. We may have less to say in some lines, in regard to the Roman power and the papacy, but we should call attention to what the prophets and the apostles have written under the inspiration of the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit has so shaped matters, both in the giving of the prophecy, and in the events portrayed, as to teach that the human agent is to be kept out of sight, hid in Christ, and the Lord God of heaven and His law are to be exalted.

> “Xudoning Kalomini ancha yaqinroq tadqiq etishga ehtiyoj bor. Ayniqsa, Daniel va Vahiy kitoblariga ishimiz tarixida ilgari hech qachon bo‘lmagan darajada e’tibor qaratilishi lozim. Ba’zi yo‘nalishlarda Rim hokimiyati va papalik haqida aytadigan gapimiz kamroq bo‘lishi mumkin, biroq biz Xudoning Ruhi ilhomi ostida payg‘ambarlar va havoriylar yozgan narsalarga e’tiborni qaratishimiz kerak. Muqaddas Ruh, ham bashorat berilishida, ham tasvirlangan voqealarda, masalalarni shunday shakllantirganki, bundan maqsad inson omili ko‘zdan chetda tutilsin, Masihda yashirin bo‘lsin, osmonning Rabbiy Xudosi va Uning qonuni esa ulug‘lansin.”

> “Read the book of Daniel. Call up, point by point, the history of the kingdoms there represented. Behold statesmen, councils, powerful armies, and see how God wrought to abase the pride of men, and lay human glory in the dust. God alone is represented as great. In the vision of the prophet He is seen casting down one mighty ruler and setting up another. He is revealed as the monarch of the universe, about to set up His everlasting kingdom—the Ancient of days, the living God, the Source of all wisdom, the Ruler of the present, the Revealer of the future. Read and understand how poor, how frail, how short-lived, how erring, how guilty, is man in lifting up his soul unto vanity.

> “Doniyor kitobini o‘qing. Unda tasvirlangan saltanatlar tarixini nuqtama-nuqta yodga oling. Davlat arboblari, kengashlar, qudratli qo‘shinlarni ko‘ring va Xudo insonlarning mag‘rurligini qanday pastga tushirganini, insoniy shon-shuhratni qanday tuproqqa qorish qilganini anglang. Faqatgina Xudo buyuk sifatida namoyon etiladi. Payg‘ambarning vahiyda U bir qudratli hukmdorni ag‘darib, boshqasini o‘rnatayotgan holda ko‘rinadi. U koinotning Hukmdori, O‘zining abadulabad shohligini o‘rnatishga hozirlanayotgan Zot — Qadimiy Kunlar Egasi, tirik Xudo, barcha donolikning Manbai, hozirgi zamonning Hokimi, kelajakni Ochib Beruvchi sifatida ayon qilinadi. O‘qing va tushuning: inson o‘z jonini behudalik sari ko‘targanida, naqadar qashshoq, naqadar ojiz, naqadar qisqa umrli, naqadar xatoga moyil, naqadar aybdor ekan.”

> “The Holy Spirit through Isaiah points us to God, the living God, as the chief object of attention—to God as revealed in Christ. ‘Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace’ [Isaiah 9:6].

> “Ishayo orqali Muqaddas Ruh bizning e’tiborimizning bosh nishoni sifatida Xudoga, tirik Xudoga — Masihda ochib berilgan Xudoga — qaratadi. ‘Zero, bizga bir Bola tug‘ildi, bizga bir O‘g‘il berildi; hukmronlik Uning yelkasida bo‘lur; va Uning nomi Ajoyib, Maslahatchi, Qudratli Xudo, Abadiy Ota, Tinchlik Shahzodasi deb atalur’ [Ishayo 9:6].”

> “The light that Daniel received direct from God was given especially for these last days. The visions he saw by the banks of the Ulai and the Hiddekel, the great rivers of Shinar, are now in process of fulfillment, and all the events foretold will soon have come to pass.” Manuscript Releases, volume 16, 333, 334.

> “Daniyelning bevosita Xudodan olgan nuri ayniqsa mana shu oxirgi kunlar uchun berilgan edi. U Ulai va Hiddekel bo‘ylarida, Shinarning buyuk daryolari yonida ko‘rgan vahiylar hozir bajo bo‘lish jarayonidadir, va bashorat qilingan barcha voqealar tez orada amalga oshgan bo‘ladi.” Manuscript Releases, 16-jild, 333, 334.

The Holy Spirit “so shaped matters” in the giving of the prophecy “and events” of Daniel’s last vision that the first chapter (ten), represents the experience of God’s people in the latter days, as does the last chapter (twelve). The shaping of those three chapters that make up the light of the Hiddekel River, that “was given especially for these last days,” was designed to bear the three-step definition of “truth.” In the first agreeing with the last, and the middle representing rebellion, we have not only the structure of the Hebrew word “truth,” which was created by the first, thirteenth and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, but we also see the signature of Alpha and Omega.

Muqaddas Ruh Doniyorning oxirgi vahiyidagi bashoratning berilishida va “voqealar”da ishlarni shunday shakllantirdiki, birinchi bob (o‘ninchi) xuddi oxirgi bob (o‘n ikkinchi) kabi, keyingi kunlarda Xudoning xalqining tajribasini ifodalaydi. Hiddekel daryosi nurini tashkil etuvchi o‘sha uch bobning shakllantirilishi, ya’ni “ayniqsa shu oxirgi kunlar uchun berilgan” nur, “haqiqat”ning uch bosqichli ta’rifini ifodalash uchun mo‘ljallangan edi. Birinchining oxirgisi bilan muvofiqlashuvida va o‘rtadagining isyonni ifodalashida, biz nafaqat ibroniy alifbosining birinchi, o‘n uchinchi va oxirgi harflari bilan hosil qilingan ibroniycha “haqiqat” so‘zining tuzilishini, balki Alfa va Omeganing imzosini ham ko‘ramiz.

Daniel chapter ten identifies the one hundred and forty-four thousand who understand both the “chazon” vision of the twenty-five hundred and twenty years, and the “mareh” vision of the twenty-three hundred years. Not only do they understand those two visions, but they possess the experience of justification by faith that is produced by the feminine and causative “marah” vision of “the appearance”.

Doniyor kitobining o‘ninchi bobi yigirma besh yuz yigirma yilga oid “chazon” vahiyini ham, ikki ming uch yuz yilga oid “mareh” vahiyini ham tushunadigan bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishini aniqlab beradi. Ular nafaqat o‘sha ikki vahiyni tushunadilar, balki “ko‘rinish”ning ayollik va sabab yasovchi “marah” vahiyi hosil qiladigan imon orqali oqlanish tajribasiga ham egadirlar.

> “For the mind and the soul, as well as for the body, it is God’s law that strength is acquired by effort. It is exercise that develops. In harmony with this law, God has provided in His word the means for mental and spiritual development.

> “Aql va jon uchun, tana uchun bo‘lgani kabi, kuch-g‘ayrat sa’y-harakat orqali qo‘lga kiritilishi Xudoning qonunidir. Taraqqiy ettiradigan narsa mashqdir. Ushbu qonunga muvofiq ravishda, Xudo O‘z Kalomida aqliy va ruhiy kamolot uchun vositalarni taqdim etgan.”

> “The Bible contains all the principles that men need to understand in order to be fitted either for this life or for the life to come. And these principles may be understood by all. No one with a spirit to appreciate its teaching can read a single passage from the Bible without gaining from it some helpful thought. But the most valuable teaching of the Bible is not to be gained by occasional or disconnected study. Its great system of truth is not so presented as to be discerned by the hasty or careless reader. Many of its treasures lie far beneath the surface, and can be obtained only by diligent research and continuous effort. The truths that go to make up the great whole must be searched out and gathered up, ‘here a little, and there a little.’ Isaiah 28:10.

> “Muqaddas Kitobda insonlar ushbu hayot uchun ham, kelajakdagi hayot uchun ham munosib bo‘lishlari uchun anglashlari zarur bo‘lgan barcha tamoyillar mujassamdir. Va bu tamoyillarni hamma tushunishi mumkin. Uning ta’limotini qadrlash ruhiga ega bo‘lgan hech kim Muqaddas Kitobdan biror parchani o‘qib, undan qandaydir foydali fikr olmasdan qolmaydi. Ammo Muqaddas Kitobning eng qimmatli ta’limoti vaqti-vaqti bilan yoki uzuq-yuluq o‘rganish orqali qo‘lga kiritilmaydi. Undagi buyuk haqiqatlar tizimi shunday tarzda bayon etilmaganki, uni shoshqaloq yoki beparvo o‘quvchi darrov ilg‘ab olsin. Uning ko‘plab xazinalari yuzaning ancha tubida yotadi va ularga faqat tirishqoq tadqiqot hamda uzluksiz sa’y-harakat bilangina erishish mumkin. Buyuk yaxlitlikni tashkil etuvchi haqiqatlar izlab topilishi va yig‘ib olinishi kerak, ‘bu yerda ozgina, u yerda ozgina’. Ishayo 28:10.”

> “When thus searched out and brought together, they will be found to be perfectly fitted to one another. Each Gospel is a supplement to the others, every prophecy an explanation of another, every truth a development of some other truth. The types of the Jewish economy are made plain by the gospel. Every principle in the word of God has its place, every fact its bearing. And the complete structure, in design and execution, bears testimony to its Author. Such a structure no mind but that of the Infinite could conceive or fashion.

> “Shunday qilib izlab topilib bir joyga jamlanganda, ular bir-biriga mutlaqo mukammal mos tushishi ma’lum bo‘ladi. Har bir Injil boshqalariga qo‘shimchadir, har bir bashorat boshqasining sharhidir, har bir haqiqat boshqa biror haqiqatning rivojidir. Yahudiy tartibotining timsollari Injil orqali ravshan bo‘ladi. Xudoning kalomidagi har bir tamoyil o‘z o‘rniga ega, har bir voqea o‘z ahamiyatiga egadir. Va bu butun tuzilma, reja va ijro jihatidan, o‘z Muallifiga shahodat beradi. Bunday tuzilmani Cheksiz Zotning ongidan boshqa hech qanday aql na tasavvur qila oladi, na yarata oladi.

> “In searching out the various parts and studying their relationship, the highest faculties of the human mind are called into intense activity. No one can engage in such study without developing mental power.

> “Turli qismlarni tadqiq etish va ularning o‘zaro munosabatini o‘rganishda, inson ongining eng yuksak qobiliyatlari g‘oyat kuchli faoliyatga chorlanadi. Hech kim bunday tadqiqot bilan shug‘ullanib, aqliy qudratini rivojlantirmasdan qolmaydi.

> “And not alone in searching out truth and bringing it together does the mental value of Bible study consist. It consists also in the effort required to grasp the themes presented. The mind occupied with commonplace matters only, becomes dwarfed and enfeebled. If never tasked to comprehend grand and far-reaching truths, it after a time loses the power of growth. As a safeguard against this degeneracy, and a stimulus to development, nothing else can equal the study of God’s word. As a means of intellectual training, the Bible is more effective than any other book, or all other books combined. The greatness of its themes, the dignified simplicity of its utterances, the beauty of its imagery, quicken and uplift the thoughts as nothing else can. No other study can impart such mental power as does the effort to grasp the stupendous truths of revelation. The mind thus brought in contact with the thoughts of the Infinite cannot but expand and strengthen.

> “Muqaddas Kitobni o‘rganishning aqliy qimmati faqat haqiqatni izlab topish va uni bir joyga jamlashdangina iborat emas. U, shuningdek, bayon etilgan mavzularni anglash uchun talab qilinadigan sa’y-harakatda ham namoyon bo‘ladi. Faqat oddiy, kundalik masalalar bilan band bo‘lgan aql mittilashadi va zaiflashadi. Agar u hech qachon ulug‘ va keng qamrovli haqiqatlarni tushunishga majbur etilmasa, vaqt o‘tishi bilan o‘sish quvvatini yo‘qotadi. Bu tanazzuldan saqlovchi vosita va rivojlanishga turtki sifatida, Xudoning Kalomini o‘rganish bilan tenglasha oladigan boshqa hech narsa yo‘q. Aqliy tarbiya vositasi sifatida Muqaddas Kitob har qanday boshqa kitobdan, hatto barcha boshqa kitoblar birgalikda olinganidan ham ta’sirchanroqdir. Uning mavzularining ulug‘vorligi, bayonlarining salobatli soddaligi, tasvirlarining go‘zalligi fikrlarni boshqa hech narsa qila olmagan darajada jonlantiradi va yuksaltiradi. Vahiyning dahshatli ulug‘ haqiqatlarini anglash uchun qilinadigan sa’y-harakat beradigan aqliy quvvatni boshqa hech qanday o‘rganish bera olmaydi. Shu tariqa Cheksiz Zotning fikrlari bilan aloqaga keltirilgan aql kengaymay va mustahkamlanmay qolmaydi.

> “And even greater is the power of the Bible in the development of the spiritual nature. Man, created for fellowship with God, can only in such fellowship find his real life and development. Created to find in God his highest joy, he can find in nothing else that which can quiet the cravings of the heart, can satisfy the hunger and thirst of the soul. He who with sincere and teachable spirit studies God’s word, seeking to comprehend its truths, will be brought in touch with its Author; and, except by his own choice, there is no limit to the possibilities of his development.

> “Muqaddas Kitobning ruhiy tabiatni rivojlantirishdagi qudrati bundan ham buyukdir. Xudo bilan muloqot uchun yaratilgan inson faqat shunday muloqotdagina o‘zining haqiqiy hayoti va kamolotini topa oladi. O‘zining eng oliy quvonchini Xudoda topish uchun yaratilgan holda, u yurak intilishlarini tinchita oladigan, jonning ochligi va chanqog‘ini qondira oladigan narsani boshqa hech narsada topa olmaydi. Xudoning Kalomini samimiy va ta’lim olishga tayyor ruh bilan o‘rganib, uning haqiqatlarini anglashga intilgan kishi, uning Muallifi bilan aloqaga keltiriladi; va o‘z tanlovi bundan mustasno, uning kamolot imkoniyatlarining chegarasi yo‘qdir.”

> “In its wide range of style and subjects the Bible has something to interest every mind and appeal to every heart. In its pages are found history the most ancient; biography the truest to life; principles of government for the control of the state, for the regulation of the household—principles that human wisdom has never equaled. It contains philosophy the most profound, poetry the sweetest and the most sublime, the most impassioned and the most pathetic. Immeasurably superior in value to the productions of any human author are the Bible writings, even when thus considered; but of infinitely wider scope, of infinitely greater value, are they when viewed in their relation to the grand central thought. Viewed in the light of this thought, every topic has a new significance. In the most simply stated truths are involved principles that are as high as heaven and that compass eternity.

> “Uslubi va mavzularining keng qamrovi bilan Muqaddas Kitob har bir aqlni qiziqtiradigan va har bir qalbga ta’sir etadigan narsani o‘zida mujassam etadi. Uning sahifalarida eng qadimgi tarix; hayot haqiqatiga eng yaqin tarjimai hollar; davlatni boshqarish, xonadonni tartibga solish uchun zarur bo‘lgan boshqaruv tamoyillari — insoniy donolik hech qachon tenglasha olmagan tamoyillar mavjuddir. Unda eng teran falsafa, eng shirin va eng ulug‘vor she’riyat, eng jo‘shqin va eng ta’sirchan ifodalar jamlangandir. Har qanday inson muallifining asarlaridan qiymat jihatidan behad ustun bo‘lgan Muqaddas Kitob yozuvlari, hatto faqat shu tarzda ko‘rib chiqilganda ham shundaydir; ammo ularga buyuk markaziy fikr bilan bo‘lgan aloqasi nuqtai nazaridan qaralganda, ularning qamrovi benihoya kengroq, qadri esa benihoya yuksakroqdir. Bu fikrning nurida qaralganda, har bir mavzu yangi ahamiyat kasb etadi. Eng sodda bayon qilingan haqiqatlarning o‘zida osmon qadar yuksak va abadiyatni qamrab oladigan tamoyillar mujassamdir.”

> “The central theme of the Bible, the theme about which every other in the whole book clusters, is the redemption plan, the restoration in the human soul of the image of God. From the first intimation of hope in the sentence pronounced in Eden to that last glorious promise of the Revelation, ‘They shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads’ (Revelation 22:4), the burden of every book and every passage of the Bible is the unfolding of this wondrous theme,—man’s uplifting,—the power of God, ‘which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.’ 1 Corinthians 15:57.” Education, 123–125.

> «Muqaddas Kitobning markaziy mavzusi, butun kitobdagi boshqa barcha mavzular jam bo‘ladigan mavzu, qutqarilish rejasidir, ya’ni inson qalbida Xudoning siymosini qayta tiklashdir. Edenda e’lon qilingan hukmdagi umidning ilk ishorasidan tortib, Vahiyning ana o‘sha so‘nggi ulug‘ va’dasigacha: “Ular Uning yuzini ko‘radilar; va Uning nomi ularning peshonalarida bo‘ladi” (Vahiy 22:4), Muqaddas Kitobdagi har bir kitobning va har bir parchanning asosiy mazmuni mana shu ajoyib mavzuning ochib borilishidir, — insonning yuksaltirilishi, — ya’ni Xudoning qudrati, “U Rabbimiz Iso Masih orqali bizga g‘alaba beradi.” 1 Korinfliklarga 15:57.» Ta’lim, 123–125.

In the passage just cited it is identified that the Bible, when considered from any avenue of literature, is by far superior to any human production. Sister White stated, “In its pages are found history the most ancient; biography the truest to life; principles of government for the control of the state, for the regulation of the household—principles that human wisdom has never equaled. It contains philosophy the most profound, poetry the sweetest and the most sublime, the most impassioned and the most pathetic,” and that “such a structure no mind but that of the Infinite could conceive or fashion.”

Hozirgina keltirilgan parchada Muqaddas Kitobga adabiyotning qaysi yo‘nalishi nuqtai nazaridan qaralmasin, u inson tomonidan yaratilgan har qanday asardan beqiyos darajada ustun ekanligi ko‘rsatib beriladi. Oqsoch opa shunday degan edi: “Uning sahifalarida eng qadimiy tarix; hayotga eng muvofiq tarjimai hol; davlatni boshqarish, xonadonni tartibga solish uchun boshqaruv tamoyillari — inson donoligi hech qachon tenglasha olmagan tamoyillar uchraydi. Unda eng chuqur falsafa, eng latif va eng yuksak, eng jo‘shqin va eng ta’sirli she’riyat mavjud”, va “bunday bir tuzilishni Cheksiz Zotning ongidan boshqa hech qanday aql na tasavvur qila olardi, na bunyod eta olardi.”

All the recognized rules of humanity that identify the rules that provide the structure of literature are surpassed by the Bible. The principles that are presented in universities of humanity, which identify the difference between average or lesser literature, all the way to the masterpieces of human literature, are all surpassed by the Bible. With that in mind, it is worth recognizing that the climax, the grand conclusion of the prophetic testimony of the entire Bible, is represented in Daniel’s last vision. It is the capstone of the prophetic testimony, and there is no climax in human literature that comes close to the testimony of Daniel chapter eleven, beginning in verse one and continuing on through chapter twelve verse four.

Adabiyotning tuzilishini belgilab beradigan qoidalarni aniqlovchi insoniyat tan olgan barcha qoidalar Muqaddas Kitob tomonidan ortda qoldiriladi. Insoniyat universitetlarida o‘rtacha yoki undan past darajadagi adabiyot bilan inson adabiyotining durdonalarigacha bo‘lgan farqni belgilab beruvchi tamoyillarning barchasi ham Muqaddas Kitob tomonidan ortda qoldiriladi. Shuni nazarda tutgan holda, butun Muqaddas Kitobdagi bashoratli guvohlikning cho‘qqisi, ulug‘ xulosasi Doniyorning so‘nggi vahiyida ifodalanishini e’tirof etish joizdir. Bu bashoratli guvohlikning toj toshidir, va inson adabiyotida Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobi, birinchi oyatdan boshlanib, o‘n ikkinchi bobning to‘rtinchi oyatigacha davom etadigan guvohlikka yaqinlasha oladigan biror cho‘qqi yo‘q.

In the book of Revelation, all the books of the Bible meet and end, and in the revelation the same lines of prophecy are taken up as in the book of Daniel, but in relation to one-another the book of Daniel is the first mention, and Revelation the last. Everything exists in the first mention, and everything exists in the book of Daniel, and the climax to the book is the vision given by the Hiddekel River. The climax to the events represented in that vision begin in verse forty, and continue until the book is sealed in verse four of chapter twelve. Those verses represent the grand finale of every prophetic truth ever uttered or recorded by the holy men of old, including Sister White.

Vahiy kitobida Muqaddas Kitobning barcha kitoblari jamlanib, nihoyasiga yetadi; va Vahiyda Doniyor kitobidagi ayni bashorat yo‘nalishlari yana ko‘tariladi, ammo o‘zaro munosabatda Doniyor kitobi birinchi zikr, Vahiy esa oxirgisidir. Birinchi zikrda hamma narsa mavjud, Doniyor kitobida ham hamma narsa mavjud, va bu kitobning cho‘qqisi Xiddekel daryosi bo‘yida berilgan vahiydir. O‘sha vahiyda ifodalangan voqealarning cho‘qqisi qirqinchi oyatda boshlanib, kitob o‘n ikkinchi bobning to‘rtinchi oyatida muhrlanguncha davom etadi. O‘sha oyatlar qadimdagi muqaddas kishilar, jumladan Oqsoqol White, tomonidan aytilgan yoki yozib qoldirilgan har bir bashorat haqiqatining ulug‘ yakunini ifodalaydi.

What leads up to that conclusion in chapter eleven are histories within the chapter that provide witnesses to the correct understanding of the last six verses of chapter eleven, where the threefold enemies of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet are now leading the world to the close of human probation. Sister White directly identifies this internal principle.

O‘n birinchi bobdagi o‘sha xulosaga olib keladigan narsa — aynan shu bob ichidagi tarixlardir; ular o‘n birinchi bobning so‘nggi olti oyatini to‘g‘ri tushunish uchun guvohlik beradi, u yerda ajdarho, mahluq va soxta payg‘ambardan iborat uch karra dushmanlar endi dunyoni insoniyat sinov muddatining yakuniga olib bormoqdalar. Opa Uayt bu ichki tamoyilni bevosita aniqlab beradi.

> “We have no time to lose. Troublous times are before us. The world is stirred with the spirit of war. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the prophecies will take place. The prophecy in the eleventh of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated. In the thirtieth verse a power is spoken of that ‘shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.’ Daniel 11:30–36.

> “Bizning yo‘qotishga vaqtimiz yo‘q. Oldimizda g‘oyat og‘ir zamonlar turibdi. Dunyo urush ruhi bilan junbushga kelgan. Yaqinda bashoratlardagi aytilgan musibat manzaralari yuz beradi. Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi bashorat deyarli to‘liq bajo bo‘lishiga yetib kelgan. Bu bashoratning bajo bo‘lishida yuz bergan tarixning ko‘p qismi takrorlanadi. O‘ttizinchi oyatda shunday bir qudrat haqida so‘z yuritiladi: u ‘xafalanib qaytadi va muqaddas ahdga qarshi g‘azab qiladi; u shunday qiladi; u yana qaytib, muqaddas ahdni tark etganlar bilan til biriktiradi. Qo‘shinlar uning tomonidan turadi, va ular qudrat ma’badini harom qiladilar, kundalik qurbonlikni olib tashlaydilar hamda vayron qiluvchi jirkanch narsani o‘rnatadilar. Ahdga qarshi yovuzlik qiluvchilarni u xushomadlar bilan buzadi; ammo o‘z Xudosini tanigan xalq qudratli bo‘ladi va buyuk ishlar qiladi. Xalq orasidagi fahmli kishilar ko‘plarga ta’lim beradilar; biroq ular ko‘p kunlar davomida qilichdan, olovdan, asirlikdan va talon-torojdan yiqiladilar. Endi ular yiqilganlarida, ularga ozgina yordam beriladi; ammo ko‘plar ularga xushomad bilan qo‘shiladilar. Fahmlilardan ba’zilari esa ularni sinash, poklash va oqartirish uchun, oxirzamon vaqtigacha yiqiladilar; chunki bu hali belgilangan vaqt uchundir. Shoh esa o‘z xohishicha ish qiladi; u o‘zini har bir xudodan ustun qo‘yib ulug‘laydi va xudolar Xudosiga qarshi ajoyib gaplar gapiradi; va g‘azab nihoyasiga yetguncha ravnaq topadi; chunki belgilab qo‘yilgan narsa albatta amalga oshadi.’ Doniyor 11:30–36.”

> “Scenes similar to those described in these words will take place. We see evidence that Satan is fast obtaining the control of human minds who have not the fear of God before them. Let all read and understand the prophecies of this book, for we are now entering upon the time of trouble spoken of:

> “Ushbu so‘zlarda tasvirlanganlarga o‘xshash manzaralar sodir bo‘ladi. Biz, Xudodan qo‘rqish qalblarida bo‘lmagan insonlarning ongini Shayton tez sur’at bilan o‘z nazorati ostiga olayotganining dalillarini ko‘rmoqdamiz. Hammalar ushbu kitobning bashoratlarini o‘qib, anglab olsinlar, chunki biz hozir so‘z yuritilgan musibat zamoniga kirib bormoqdamiz:

> “‘And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.’ Daniel 12:1–4.” Manuscript Releases, number 13, 394.

> “‘Va o‘sha vaqtda xalqing farzandlari uchun turuvchi ulug‘ shahzoda Mixoil o‘rnidan turadi; va shunday bir musibat vaqti bo‘ladiki, xalqlar paydo bo‘lganidan o‘sha vaqtgacha hech qachon bunday bo‘lmagan; va o‘sha vaqtda xalqingdan kitobda yozilgan holda topilgan har bir kishi qutqariladi. Va yer tuprog‘ida uxlayotganlarning ko‘plari uyg‘onadi, ba’zilari abadiy hayotga, ba’zilari esa sharmandalik va abadiy nafratga. Va dono bo‘lganlar osmon gumbazining yorqinligidek porlaydilar; ko‘plarni solihlikka keltirganlar esa yulduzlar singari abadulabad porlaydilar. Ammo sen, ey Doniyor, bu so‘zlarni yopib qo‘y va kitobni oxirzamon vaqtigacha muhrlab qo‘y; ko‘plar u yoqdan bu yoqqa yuguradilar, va bilim ortadi.’ Doniyor 12:1–4.” Manuscript Releases, 13-son, 394.

In this passage Sister White first references Daniel chapter eleven and then identifies the principle “that much of the history which has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated.” She then directly quotes verse thirty to thirty-six and follows with the statement that, “scenes similar to those described in these words will take place.” After identifying verse thirty to thirty-six, and saying scenes similar to those verses will take place, she then identifies the close of probation, when Michael stands up in verse one of chapter twelve. In doing so, she is isolating those seven verses, and placing them in the history which immediately precedes Michael standing up.

Ushbu parchada Opa Uayt avvalo Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobiga murojaat qiladi, so‘ngra esa “ushbu bashoratning amalga oshishida sodir bo‘lgan tarixning katta qismi takrorlanadi” degan tamoyilni ko‘rsatadi. Keyin u to‘g‘ridan-to‘g‘ri o‘ttizinchi oyatdan o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatgacha iqtibos keltiradi va shundan so‘ng: “ushbu so‘zlarda tasvirlanganlarga o‘xshash manzaralar yuz beradi”, degan bayonotni beradi. O‘ttizinchi oyatdan o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatgacha bo‘lgan qismini ko‘rsatib, o‘sha oyatlarga o‘xshash manzaralar yuz berishini aytganidan keyin, u sinov muddatining yopilishini, ya’ni o‘n ikkinchi bobning birinchi oyatida Mixailning oyoqqa turishini ko‘rsatadi. Shu tariqa, u ana shu yetti oyatni ajratib ko‘rsatmoqda va ularni Mixailning oyoqqa turishidan bevosita oldin keladigan tarix ichiga joylashtirmoqda.

More than once we have addressed the history of verses thirty to thirty-six, and how they parallel verses forty to forty-five of Daniel eleven, and we will now begin to consider other periods of prophetic history in chapter eleven that is repeated in those final six verses. However, before we do we will once again present a brief summary of the parallel of verses thirty to thirty-six with verses forty to forty-five.

Biz bir necha bor o'ttizdan o'ttiz oltinchi oyatlargacha bo'lgan tarixga va ularning Doniyor 11-bobning qirqdan qirq beshinchi oyatlarigacha bo'lgan qismiga qanday parallel ekaniga to'xtalganmiz; endi esa biz o'sha yakuniy olti oyatda takrorlangan 11-bobdagi bashoratli tarixning boshqa davrlarini ko'rib chiqishni boshlaymiz. Biroq, buni qilishdan oldin, biz o'ttizdan o'ttiz oltinchi oyatlargacha bo'lgan qismning qirqdan qirq beshinchi oyatlarga bo'lgan paralleli haqida yana bir bor qisqacha xulosa taqdim etamiz.

Verse thirty marks the transition from pagan Rome to papal Rome. That transitional history is addressed in a variety of prophetic passages that identify such dates as the years 330, 508, 533 and 538. There are other prophetic markers in the transition from the fourth kingdom to the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy, but in verse thirty-one pagan Rome stands up for the papacy, as represented by Clovis in the year 496. The pagan powers initially represented by Clovis in the verse accomplish the work of removing any pagan resistance (the daily) to the rise of the papacy by the year 508. The warfare of those times brings destruction against the City of Rome during that history as represented by the “sanctuary of strength”, and by the year 538, the pagan powers place the papacy on the throne of the earth, and she then passes a Sunday law at the Council of Orleans.

O‘ttizinchi oyat butparast Rimdan papalik Rimiga o‘tishni belgilaydi. Bu o‘tish davri 330, 508, 533 va 538-yillar kabi sanalarni ko‘rsatib beradigan turli xil bashoratli parchalarda yoritiladi. Muqaddas Kitob bashoratidagi to‘rtinchi shohlikdan beshinchi shohlikka o‘tishda boshqa bashoratli belgilarning ham bor, ammo o‘ttiz birinchi oyatda butparast Rim, milodiy 496-yilda Klovis timsolida ifodalanganidek, papalik tarafida turadi. Oyatda dastlab Klovis orqali ifodalangan butparast kuchlar 508-yilga kelib papalikning yuksalishiga qarshi turgan har qanday butparast qarshilikni (“doimiy”ni) yo‘qotish ishini amalga oshiradilar. O‘sha davr urushlari “qudrat ma’badi” bilan ifodalangan ushbu tarix davomida Rim shahriga vayronagarchilik keltiradi, va 538-yilga kelib butparast kuchlar papalikni yer yuzining taxtiga o‘tqazadilar, shundan so‘ng u Orlean Kengashida yakshanba qonunini chiqaradi.

Verses thirty-two through thirty-six identify the murderous warfare the papacy then brought against God’s faithful during the twelve hundred and sixty years of the Dark Ages. Ultimately the papacy comes to her end in verse thirty-six. In verse forty, Reagan formed a secret alliance with the antichrist, marking when the resistance of Protestantism had been taken away, as represented by the year 508. Reagan’s commitment of finances and military might had been typified by the “arms” standing up for the papacy in 496. The destruction of pagan Rome’s sanctuary of strength, represented by the city of Rome, typifies the destruction of the US Constitution at the soon coming Sunday law, for the Constitution is the sanctuary of strength for the United States. At the Sunday law the papacy will once again be placed upon the throne of the earth, as represented by the year 538.

O‘ttiz ikkinchi oyatdan o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatgacha bo‘lgan oyatlar papalikning Qorong‘u asrlarning ming ikki yuz oltmish yili davomida Xudoning sodiqlariga qarshi olib borgan qotillik urushini ko‘rsatadi. Oxir-oqibat, o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatda papalik o‘z nihoyasiga yetadi. Qirqinchi oyatda Reagan mahfiy ravishda Dajjol bilan ittifoq tuzdi; bu esa 508 yil bilan ifodalanganidek, Protestantizmning qarshiligi olib tashlangan paytni belgiladi. Reagan’ning moliyaviy mablag‘lar va harbiy qudratni safarbar etishga bo‘lgan sadoqati 496 yilda papalikni qo‘llab-quvvatlash uchun oyoqqa turgan “qurollar” orqali timsollangan edi. Butparast Rimning qudrat maskani bo‘lgan ma’badining vayron qilinishi, Rim shahri orqali ifodalangan holda, yaqin orada keladigan yakshanba qonuni paytida AQSh Konstitutsiyasining yo‘q qilinishini timsollaydi, chunki Konstitutsiya Qo‘shma Shtatlar uchun qudrat maskanidir. Yakshanba qonuni chog‘ida papalik 538 yil bilan ifodalanganidek, yana bir bor yer yuzining taxtiga o‘tqaziladi.

Then will begin the final period of murderous papal persecution brought against God’s faithful as occurred in the Dark Ages from 538 unto 1798. This will lead to the close of human probation, when Michael stands up, as represented by 1798, when the papacy, who had prospered for twelve hundred and sixty years, received the indignation of the deadly wound.

Shundan so‘ng, zulmat asrlarida 538 yildan 1798 yilgacha bo‘lgani kabi, Xudoning sodiqlariga qarshi qaratilgan papalikning qotilliklar bilan kechadigan so‘nggi quvg‘in davri boshlanadi. Bu insoniyatning sinov muddatining yakuniga olib keladi; o‘sha paytda Mikoil oyoqqa turadi. Bu 1798 yil bilan ifodalanadi; o‘shanda ming ikki yuz oltmish yil davomida ravnaq topgan papalik o‘limli yaraning g‘azabini qabul qildi.

We will continue this study in the next article.

Biz bu tadqiqotni keyingi maqolada davom ettiramiz.

> “On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were erected to glorify their owners and builders. Higher and still higher these buildings rose, and in them the most costly material was used. Those to whom these buildings belonged were not asking themselves: ‘How can we best glorify God?’ The Lord was not in their thoughts.

> “Bir safar Nyu-York shahrida bo‘lganimda, tun paytida menga qavatma-qavat osmon sari yuksalib borayotgan binolarni ko‘rish ayon qilindi. Bu binolar yong‘inga bardoshli, deb kafolatlangan edi va ular o‘z egalari hamda bunyodkorlarini ulug‘lash uchun barpo etilgan edi. Bu binolar tobora balandroq va yanada balandroq ko‘tarilar, ularda esa eng qimmatbaho materiallardan foydalanilgan edi. Bu binolarga egalik qiluvchilar o‘zlariga: ‘Qanday qilib biz Xudoni eng yaxshi tarzda ulug‘lashimiz mumkin?’ degan savolni bermas edilar. Egamiz ularning xayollarida yo‘q edi.

> “I thought: ‘Oh, that those who are thus investing their means could see their course as God sees it! They are piling up magnificent buildings, but how foolish in the sight of the Ruler of the universe is their planning and devising. They are not studying with all the powers of heart and mind how they may glorify God. They have lost sight of this, the first duty of man.’

> “Men o‘yladim: ‘Eh, koshki o‘z mablag‘larini shu tarzda sarflayotganlar o‘z yo‘llarini Xudo qanday ko‘rsa, shunday ko‘ra olsalar edi! Ular hashamatli binolarni qad ko‘tarmoqdalar, ammo butun olam Hukmdori nazarida ularning rejalashtirishi va o‘ylab topishlari naqadar ahmoqlikdir. Ular qalb va aqlning bor kuch-qudrati bilan Xudoni qanday ulug‘lashlari mumkinligini o‘rganmayaptilar. Ular insonning birinchi burchi bo‘lgan mana shu narsani nazardan qochirdilar.’”

> “As these lofty buildings went up, the owners rejoiced with ambitious pride that they had money to use in gratifying self and provoking the envy of their neighbors. Much of the money that they thus invested had been obtained through exaction, through grinding down the poor. They forgot that in heaven an account of every business transaction is kept; every unjust deal, every fraudulent act, is there recorded. The time is coming when in their fraud and insolence men will reach a point that the Lord will not permit them to pass, and they will learn that there is a limit to the forbearance of Jehovah.

> “Bu ulug‘vor binolar qad rostlar ekan, ularning egalari o‘z nafslari havasini qondirish va qo‘shnilarining hasadini qo‘zg‘atish uchun sarflashga mablag‘lari borligidan manman shuhratparastlik bilan quvondilar. Ular shu tariqa sarflagan mablag‘larning ko‘p qismi zo‘ravonlik bilan, kambag‘allarni ezib-siqib qo‘lga kiritilgan edi. Ular osmonlarda har bir tijoriy muomala hisobi yuritilishini unutdilar; har bir nohaq bitim, har bir firibgarlik amali o‘sha yerda qayd etilgan. Shunday vaqt kelmoqdaki, o‘zlarining firibgarligi va surbetligida odamlar Rabbiy ularga oshib o‘tishga ruxsat bermaydigan bir nuqtaga yetadilar, va ular Yahovaning sabr-toqatining ham bir chegarasi borligini bilib oladilar.”

> “The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at the lofty and supposedly fire-proof buildings and said: ‘They are perfectly safe.’ But these buildings were consumed as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines.

> “Keyin mening ko‘z o‘ngimda namoyon bo‘lgan manzara yong‘in vahimasi edi. Odamlar baland va go‘yoki o‘tga chidamli binolarga qarab: ‘Ular mutlaqo xavfsiz’, dedilar. Ammo bu binolar go‘yo smoladan yasalganidek yonib ketdi. Yong‘in mashinalari vayronagarchilikni to‘xtatish uchun hech narsa qila olmadi. O‘t o‘chiruvchilar mashinalarni ishga sola olmadilar.”

> “I am instructed that when the Lord’s time comes, should no change have taken place in the hearts of proud, ambitious human beings, men will find that the hand that had been strong to save will be strong to destroy. No earthly power can stay the hand of God. No material can be used in the erection of buildings that will preserve them from destruction when God’s appointed time comes to send retribution on men for their disregard of His law and for their selfish ambition.

> “Menga shunday ko‘rsatildiki, Rabbimizning vaqti kelganda, agar mag‘rur, shuhratparast insonlarning yuraklarida hech qanday o‘zgarish yuz bermagan bo‘lsa, odamlar najot berishda qudratli bo‘lgan qo‘l halokat keltirishda ham qudratli bo‘lishini bilib oladilar. Hech bir yerdagi kuch Xudoning qo‘lini to‘xtata olmaydi. Binolarni barpo etishda ularni vayron bo‘lishdan saqlab qoladigan biror materialdan foydalanib bo‘lmaydi, qachonki Xudo O‘z qonunini mensimaganliklari va o‘zlarining xudbin shuhratparastliklari uchun odamlarga jazo yuborishni belgilagan vaqti kelganda.”

> “There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that underlie the present state of society. Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime. They are struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis. If men would give more heed to the teaching of God’s word, they would find a solution of the problems that perplex them.

> “Jamiyatning hozirgi holati zamirida yotgan sabablarni, hatto ta’lim beruvchilar va davlat arboblari orasida ham, anglaydiganlar ko‘p emas. Hukumat jilovini tutib turganlar axloqiy buzuqlik, qashshoqlik, muhtojlik va tobora ortib borayotgan jinoyatchilik muammosini hal etishga qodir emaslar. Ular iqtisodiy faoliyatni yanada ishonchliroq asosga qo‘yishga behuda urinmoqdalar. Agar insonlar Xudoning Kalomi ta’limotiga ko‘proq e’tibor berganlarida, o‘zlarini hayratga solayotgan muammolarning yechimini topar edilar.”

> “The Scriptures describe the condition of the world just before Christ’s second coming. Of the men who by robbery and extortion are amassing great riches, it is written: ‘Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.’ James 5:3–6.

> “Muqaddas Bitiklar Masihning ikkinchi kelishidan sal oldin dunyoning holatini tasvirlaydi. Talon-toroj va tovlamachilik orqali ulkan boyliklar to‘playotgan kishilar haqida shunday yozilgan: ‘So‘nggi kunlar uchun xazina to‘pladingizlar. Mana, dalalaringizni o‘rib bergan ishchilarning sizlar tomonidan firib bilan ushlab qolingan haqi faryod qilmoqda; o‘rimchilarning faryodlari esa Sabo‘ot Egasining quloqlariga yetib borgan. Sizlar yer yuzida aysh-ishrat qilib, o‘zboshimchalik bilan yashadingizlar; so‘yish kunidagidek yuraklaringizni boqdingizlar. Solihni hukm qildingizlar va o‘ldirdingizlar; u esa sizlarga qarshilik qilmaydi.’ Yoqub 5:3–6.”

> “But who reads the warnings given by the fast-fulfilling signs of the times? What impression is made upon worldlings? What change is seen in their attitude? No more than was seen in the attitude of the inhabitants of the Noachian world. Absorbed in worldly business and pleasure, the antediluvians ‘knew not until the Flood came, and took them all away.’ Matthew 24:39. They had heaven-sent warnings, but they refused to listen. And today the world, utterly regardless of the warning voice of God, is hurrying on to eternal ruin.

> “Ammo zamonning tez bajo bo‘layotgan alomatlari bergan ogohlantirishlarni kim o‘qiydi? Ular dunyoparastlarda qanday taassurot uyg‘otadi? Ularning munosabatida qanday o‘zgarish ko‘rinadi? Nuh zamoni dunyosining aholisi munosabatida ko‘ringanidan ortiq emas. Dunyoviy ishlar va aysh-ishratga berilib ketgan to‘fondan oldingi odamlar, «to To‘fon kelib, ularning barchasini olib ketmaguncha, anglamadilar». Matto 24:39. Ularga osmondan yuborilgan ogohlantirishlar berilgan edi, ammo ular quloq solishni rad etdilar. Va bugun ham dunyo, Xudoning ogohlantiruvchi ovoziga mutlaqo e’tiborsiz holda, abadiy halokat sari shoshilmoqda.”

> “The world is stirred with the spirit of war. The prophecy of the eleventh chapter of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the prophecies will take place.” Testimonies, volume 9, 12–14.

> “Dunyo urush ruhi bilan junbushga kelgan. Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi bashorat deyarli to‘liq amalga oshishiga yetib kelgan. Tez orada bashoratlarda tilga olingan kulfat manzaralari yuz beradi.” Guvohliklar, 9-jild, 12–14.
