Christ pointed His people to the budding trees of Spring, in order that they would understand the “signs” and the implication of the “signs” of the last days.

Masih O‘z xalqining e’tiborini bahorda g‘unchalayotgan daraxtlarga qaratdi, toki ular oxirgi kunlarning “alomatlari”ni va bu “alomatlar”ning ma’nosini tushunsinlar.

> “Christ had bidden His people watch for the signs of His advent and rejoice as they should behold the tokens of their coming King. ‘When these things begin to come to pass,’ He said, ‘then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.’ He pointed His followers to the budding trees of spring, and said: ‘When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.’ Luke 21:28, 30, 31.” The Great Controversy, 308.

> “Masih O‘z xalqiga O‘zining kelish alomatlarini kuzatib turishni va kelayotgan Shohlarining belgilarini ko‘rganlarida shodlanishni buyurgan edi. U shunday degan edi: ‘Bu hodisalar yuz bera boshlaganida, qaddingizni rostlang va boshlaringizni ko‘taringlar; chunki najotingiz yaqinlashib qoldi.’ U O‘z izdoshlarining e’tiborini bahorda kurtak yozayotgan daraxtlarga qaratib, shunday dedi: ‘Ular endi kurtak yozganda, buni ko‘rib, o‘zlaringizdan bilasizlarki, yoz endi yaqin. Xuddi shuningdek, sizlar ham bu hodisalar yuz berayotganini ko‘rganingizda, bilinglarki, Xudoning Shohligi yaqinlashib qolgan.’ Luqo 21:28, 30, 31.” The Great Controversy, 308.

The “signs” of the last days were typified by the “signs,” that announced and ushered in the movement of the first angel. Those “signs” included the shaking of the heavens, but Joel identifies that the “signs” of the last days, the days when the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for and not found, when God’s holy mountain is holy forever, for no strangers will ever pass through her again, the shaking of the powers of the heavens, will also include the shaking of the powers of earth. Sister White identifies the distinction between the shaking of the powers of the heavens and the powers of the earth.

Oxirgi kunlarning “alomati” birinchi farishtaning harakatini e’lon qilgan va boshlab bergan “alomatlar” orqali timsollangan edi. O‘sha “alomatlar” osmonlarning larzaga kelishini o‘z ichiga olgan edi, biroq Yoel shuni ko‘rsatadiki, oxirgi kunlarning “alomatlari” — Isroilning gunohi qidirilib topilmaydigan, Xudoning muqaddas tog‘i abadiy muqaddas bo‘ladigan, chunki endi begonalarning hech biri undan boshqa o‘tib ketmaydigan kunlarning, osmon qudratlarining larzaga kelishining alomatlari — yer qudratlarining ham larzaga kelishini o‘z ichiga oladi. Oqsoch opa osmon qudratlarining larzaga kelishi bilan yer qudratlarining larzaga kelishi o‘rtasidagi farqni ko‘rsatib beradi.

> “December 16, 1848, the Lord gave me a view of the shaking of the powers of the heavens. I saw that when the Lord said ‘heaven,’ in giving the signs recorded by Matthew, Mark, and Luke, He meant heaven, and when He said ‘earth’ He meant earth. The powers of heaven are the sun, moon, and stars. They rule in the heavens. The powers of earth are those that rule on the earth. The powers of heaven will be shaken at the voice of God. Then the sun, moon, and stars will be moved out of their places. They will not pass away, but be shaken by the voice of God.

> “1848-yil 16-dekabr kuni Rabbiy menga osmon qudratlarining larzaga kelishi haqida vahiy berdi. Men shuni ko‘rdimki, Rabbiy Matto, Mark va Luqo tomonidan qayd etilgan alomatlarni berganida ‘osmon’ deganda osmonni nazarda tutgan, ‘yer’ deganda esa yerni nazarda tutgan. Osmon qudratlari — quyosh, oy va yulduzlardir. Ular osmonlarda hukmronlik qiladilar. Yer qudratlari esa yer yuzida hukmronlik qiladiganlardir. Osmon qudratlari Xudoning ovozi bilan larzaga keladi. Shunda quyosh, oy va yulduzlar o‘z joylaridan siljitiladi. Ular yo‘q bo‘lib ketmaydi, balki Xudoning ovozi bilan larzaga keltiriladi.

> “Dark, heavy clouds came up and clashed against each other. The atmosphere parted and rolled back; then we could look up through the open space in Orion, whence came the voice of God. The Holy City will come down through that open space. I saw that the powers of earth are now being shaken and that events come in order. War, and rumors of war, sword, famine, and pestilence are first to shake the powers of earth, then the voice of God will shake the sun, moon, and stars, and this earth also. I saw that the shaking of the powers in Europe is not, as some teach, the shaking of the powers of heaven, but it is the shaking of the angry nations.” Early Writings, 41.

> “Qorong‘i, og‘ir bulutlar ko‘tarilib, bir-biriga urildi. Osmon bo‘linib, ortga qayrildi; shunda biz Oriondagi ochiq bo‘shliq orqali yuqoriga qaray oldik, u yerdan Xudoning ovozi keldi. Muqaddas Shahar o‘sha ochiq bo‘shliq orqali pastga tushadi. Men yerning kuchlari hozir silkitilayotganini va voqealar tartib bilan sodir bo‘layotganini ko‘rdim. Urush, urush xabarlari, qilich, ocharchilik va o‘lat avvalo yerning kuchlarini silkitadi, so‘ng Xudoning ovozi quyoshni, oyni va yulduzlarni, shuningdek, bu yerni ham silkitadi. Men Yevropadagi kuchlarning silkinishi, ba’zilar ta’lim berganidek, osmon kuchlarining silkinishi emas, balki g‘azablangan xalqlarning silkinishidir, deb ko‘rdim.” Early Writings, 41.

The shaking of the heavens in Matthew, Mark and Luke represent the shaking of the powers that rule the heavens, as represented by the sun, moon and stars. All of these heavenly powers were shaken, and produced the “signs,” which ushered in and announced the movement of the first angel. Those heavenly powers will be again shaken during the movement of the third angel. But in the movement of the third angel, the powers of earth will also be shaken. The powers of earth are the powers that rule the earth. On September 11, 2001, the powers of earth, not heaven, were shaken.

Matto, Mark va Luqodagi osmonning silkinishi quyosh, oy va yulduzlar bilan ifodalangan osmonni boshqaruvchi qudratlarning silkinishini anglatadi. Bu samoviy qudratlarning barchasi silkitildi va ular birinchi farishtaning harakatini boshlab bergan hamda e’lon qilgan “alomatlar”ni yuzaga keltirdi. O‘sha samoviy qudratlar uchinchi farishtaning harakati davrida yana silkitiladi. Ammo uchinchi farishtaning harakati davrida yerning qudratlari ham silkitiladi. Yerning qudratlari — yerni boshqaruvchi qudratlardir. 2001-yil 11-sentabr kuni osmonning emas, balki yerning qudratlari silkitildi.

> “Now comes the word that I have declared that New York is to be swept away by a tidal wave? This I have never said. I have said, as I looked at the great buildings going up there, story after story, ‘What terrible scenes will take place when the Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth! Then the words of Revelation 18:1–3 will be fulfilled.’ The whole of the eighteenth chapter of Revelation is a warning of what is coming on the earth. But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God’s power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the Lord, one touch of his mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine.” Review and Herald, July 5, 1906.

> “Endi esa men Nyu-Yorkni suv ko‘tarilishi to‘lqini supurib ketadi, deb aytganman, degan gap chiqmoqdami? Men buni hech qachon aytmaganman. Men u yerda qavatma-qavat qad ko‘tarayotgan ulkan binolarga qarar ekanman, shunday deganman: ‘Egamiz yer yuzini dahshatli tarzda silkitish uchun o‘rnidan turganida, naqadar dahshatli manzaralar yuz beradi! Shunda Vahiy 18:1–3 dagi so‘zlar bajo bo‘ladi.’ Vahiyning o‘n sakkizinchi bobining butuni yer yuziga keladigan narsalar haqida ogohlantirishdir. Ammo Nyu-Yorkka nima kelishi to‘g‘risida menda alohida bir nur yo‘q; faqat shuni bilamanki, bir kuni u yerdagi ulkan binolar Xudoning qudrati burib-ag‘darishi natijasida qulatiladi. Menga berilgan nurdan bilamanki, dunyoda halokat bor. Rabbiydan chiqqan bir so‘z, Uning qudratli quvvatining bir tegishi — va bu ulkan inshootlar qulaydi. Qo‘rquvliligini tasavvur ham qila olmaydigan manzaralar yuz beradi.” Review and Herald, 1906-yil 5-iyul.

In the history of the Millerites one of the signs recorded by Luke was the “distress of nations.” The nations represent the powers that rule the earth, and on September 11, 2001, every nation on earth was shaken as the third Woe arrived into prophetic history. That earthly shaking was represented in Luke twenty-one, but not by the biblical expression of the shaking of the powers of the earth. It was represented by the phrase, “the distress of nations,” as was brought upon the nations of the world when the great buildings of New York were brought down. “The distress of nations” in Luke is the shaking of the powers of earth, and it was fulfilled in the history of the Millerites.

Millerchilar tarixida Luqo tomonidan qayd etilgan alomatlardan biri “xalqlarning tangligi” edi. Xalqlar yer yuzini boshqaradigan kuchlarni ifodalaydi, va 2001-yil 11-sentyabrda uchinchi Voy bashoratli tarixga kirib kelganida, yer yuzidagi har bir xalq larzaga keldi. O‘sha yerlik larzaga kelish Luqo yigirma birinchi bobda tasvirlangan, biroq yer yuzining kuchlari larzaga kelishi haqidagi Muqaddas Kitobdagi ifoda bilan emas. U “xalqlarning tangligi” iborasi orqali ifodalangan edi; xuddi Nyu-Yorkning ulkan binolari qulatilganida dunyo xalqlari boshiga tushgan tanglik kabi. Luqodagi “xalqlarning tangligi” yer yuzining kuchlari larzaga kelishidir, va bu Millerchilar tarixida amalga oshdi.

> “I saw that the powers of earth are now being shaken and that events come in order. War, and rumors of war, sword, famine, and pestilence are first to shake the powers of earth, then the voice of God will shake the sun, moon, and stars, and this earth also. I saw that the shaking of the powers in Europe is not, as some teach, the shaking of the powers of heaven, but it is the shaking of the angry nations.” Early Writings, 41.

> “Men yer yuzining qudratlari hozir larzaga keltirilayotganini va hodisalar belgilangan tartibda yuz berayotganini ko‘rdim. Urush, va urush mish-mishlari, qilich, ocharchilik va vabo avvalo yer yuzining qudratlarini larzaga keltiradi; so‘ngra Xudoning ovozi quyoshni, oyni va yulduzlarni, shuningdek bu yerning o‘zini ham larzaga keltiradi. Men Yevropadagi qudratlarning larzaga kelishi, ayrimlar o‘rgatganidek, osmon qudratlarining larzaga kelishi emasligini, balki bu g‘azabga to‘lgan xalqlarning larzaga kelishi ekanini ko‘rdim.” Early Writings, 41.

The “shaking of the powers of the angry nations,” is the shaking of the “powers of earth,” as illustrated in the early history of Adventism by the shaking of the “powers in Europe.” Uriah Smith identified what was shaking the powers in Europe in 1838.

“G‘azablangan xalqlarning qudratlari silkinishi” — bu yerning “qudratlari silkinishi”dir; buni adventizmning ilk tarixida “Yevropadagi qudratlar”ning silkinishi orqali ko‘rish mumkin. Uriah Smith 1838-yilda Yevropadagi qudratlarni nima silkitayotganini aniqlagan edi.

> “As the prophetic period of this [6th] trumpet commenced by the voluntary surrender of power into the hands of the Turks by the Christian emperor of the East, so we might justly conclude that its termination would be marked by the voluntary surrender of that power by the Turkish Sultan back again into the hands of the Christians. In 1838 Turkey became involved in war with Egypt. The Egyptians bid fair to overthrow the Turkish power. To prevent this, the four great powers of Europe, England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, interfered to sustain the Turkish government. Turkey accepted their intervention. A conference was held in London at which an ultimatum was drawn up to be presented to Mehemet Ali, the Pacha of Egypt. It is evident that when this ultimatum should be placed in the hands of Mehemet, the destiny of the Ottoman Empire would be virtually lodged in the hands of the Christian powers of Europe. This ultimatum was placed in the hands of Mehemet on the 11th day of August 1840! and on that very day the Sultan addressed a note to the ambassadors of the four powers, inquiring what should be done in case Mehemet refused to comply with the terms which they had proposed. The answer was that he need not alarm himself about any contingency that might arise; for they had made provision for that. The prophetic period ended, and on that very day the control of Mohammedan affairs passed into the hands of Christians, just as the control of Christian affairs had passed into the hands of the Mohammedans 391 years and 15 days before. Thus the second woe ended, and the sixth trumpet ceased its sounding.” Uriah Smith, Synopsis of Present Truth, 218.

> “Bu [6-chi] karnayning bashoratli davri Sharqdagi xristian imperatori hokimiyatni ixtiyoriy ravishda turklar qo‘liga topshirishi bilan boshlangan ekan, demak, uning tugashi ham o‘sha hokimiyatning turk sultoni tomonidan yana xristianlar qo‘liga ixtiyoriy ravishda topshirilishi bilan belgilanishi haqida haqli ravishda xulosa qilishimiz mumkin edi. 1838-yilda Turkiya Misr bilan urushga aralashib qoldi. Misrliklar turk hokimiyatini ag‘darib tashlash arafasida edilar. Buning oldini olish uchun Yevropaning to‘rtta buyuk davlati — Angliya, Rossiya, Avstriya va Prussiya — turk hukumatini qo‘llab-quvvatlash uchun aralashdi. Turkiya ularning aralashuvini qabul qildi. Londonda bir konferensiya o‘tkazildi va unda Misr pashosi Mehemet Aliga taqdim etilishi lozim bo‘lgan ultimatum tuzildi. Ravshanki, bu ultimatum Mehemetning qo‘liga topshirilgan paytda, Usmonli imperiyasining taqdiri amalda Yevropaning xristian davlatlari qo‘liga topshirilgan bo‘lar edi. Bu ultimatum 1840-yil 11-avgust kuni Mehemetning qo‘liga topshirildi! va aynan o‘sha kuni sulton to‘rt davlat elchilariga nota yo‘llab, agar Mehemet ular taklif etgan shartlarga bo‘ysunishni rad etsa, nima qilish kerakligini so‘radi. Javob shunday bo‘ldiki, yuzaga kelishi mumkin bo‘lgan har qanday holatdan u xavotirlanmasin; chunki ular buning uchun chorani ko‘rib qo‘ygan edilar. Bashoratli davr yakunlandi va aynan o‘sha kuni musulmonlar ishlarining boshqaruvi xristianlar qo‘liga o‘tdi, xuddi bundan 391 yil va 15 kun avval xristianlar ishlarining boshqaruvi musulmonlar qo‘liga o‘tganidek. Shunday qilib, ikkinchi voy nihoyasiga yetdi va oltinchi karnay o‘z sadosini to‘xtatdi.” Uriah Smith, Synopsis of Present Truth, 218.

Islam of the second Woe, had passed the zenith of its power, which according to God’s word was to continue for three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days. Yet in the 1830’s Egypt was attempting to re-establish a caliphate in Egypt for the purpose of continuing the second great jihad of Muslim history. The possibility of more Islamic warfare was causing the European powers to shake in fear. For decades the crisis of Islam re-igniting its warfare was labelled by the historians and the reporters of those years as the “Eastern Question.” The warfare of the children of the east had been carried out for centuries against the nations of Europe, who derived their religion from the Roman church. In 1838, “the distress of nations,” referred to by Christ represented the shaking of the angry nations that was produced by the warfare brought against the former Roman Empire by Islam.

Ikkinchi Voyning Islom(i) o‘z qudratining cho‘qqisidan o‘tib bo‘lgan edi; Xudoning kalomiga ko‘ra, bu qudrat uch yuz to‘qson bir yil va o‘n besh kun davom etishi kerak edi. Shunga qaramay, 1830-yillarda Misr musulmonlar tarixidagi ikkinchi buyuk jihodni davom ettirish maqsadida Misrda xalifalikni qayta tiklashga urinayotgan edi. Islomiy urushlarning yana davom etishi ehtimoli Yevropa davlatlarini qo‘rquvdan larzaga solayotgan edi. O‘nlab yillar davomida Islomning o‘z urushlarini qayta alangalatishi inqirozi o‘sha yillarning tarixchilari va muxbirlari tomonidan “Sharq masalasi” deb ataldi. Sharq farzandlarining urushi asrlar davomida o‘z dinini Rim cherkovidan olgan Yevropa xalqlariga qarshi olib borilgan edi. 1838-yilda Masih tilga olgan “xalqlarning tangligi” Islom tomonidan sobiq Rim imperiyasiga qarshi olib borilgan urush oqibatida yuzaga kelgan g‘azablangan xalqlarning larzaga kelishini ifoda etar edi.

> “By [loosing] the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates, I understand that God was now about to suffer the four principal nations of which the Ottoman empire was composed, which had in vain attempted to subdue the Eastern Empire at Constantinople, and made but little progress in conquering Europe, now to take Constantinople, and to overrun and subdue one third part of Europe, which was the fact about the middle of the fifteenth century.” Works of William Miller, Volume 2, 121.

> “Ulug‘ Furot daryosida bog‘lab qo‘yilgan to‘rt farishtani [bo‘shatish]” deganda, men shuni tushunamanki, Xudo endi Usmonli imperiyasi tarkib topgan to‘rtta bosh xalqga, Konstantinopoldagi Sharqiy imperiyani bo‘ysundirishga behuda uringan va Yevropani zabt etishda juda oz muvaffaqiyat qilgan bo‘lsa-da, endi Konstantinopolni egallashga hamda Yevropaning uchdan bir qismini bosib olib bo‘ysundirishga yo‘l qo‘ymoqchi edi; bu esa o‘n beshinchi asrning o‘rtalarida rostdan ham sodir bo‘lgan voqeadir.” Works of William Miller, Volume 2, 121.

The distress of nations in the narrative found in Luke was “with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring,” and with men’s “hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.” The perplexity of the Eastern Question continued to agitate the powers of earth all the way into the twentieth century, and the symbol of that distress was “men’s hearts failing them for fear” and the “sea and waves roaring.”

Luqoda keltirilgan rivoyatdagi xalqlarning iztirobi “gangib qolgan holda; dengiz va to‘lqinlarning guvillashi” bilan, hamda odamlarning “qo‘rquvdan va yer yuziga kelayotgan narsalarni kutishdan yuraklari orqaga tortib qolishi” bilan namoyon bo‘lgan edi. Sharq masalasining mushkulligi yigirmanchi asrgacha ham yer yuzidagi qudratlarni bezovta qilishda davom etdi, va o‘sha iztirobning timsoli “qo‘rquvdan odamlarning yuraklari orqaga tortib qolishi” hamda “dengiz va to‘lqinlarning guvillashi” edi.

> “This sealing of the servants of God is the same that was shown to Ezekiel in vision. John also had been a witness of this most startling revelation. He saw the sea and the waves roaring, and men’s hearts failing them for fear. He beheld the earth moved, and the mountains carried into the midst of the sea (which is literally taking place), the water thereof roaring and troubled, and the mountains shaking with the swelling thereof. He was shown plagues, pestilence, famine, and death performing their terrible mission.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.

> “Xudoning qullarini bu muhrlash Hizqiyolga vahiyda ko‘rsatilgan ayni o‘sha narsadir. Yuhanno ham bu nihoyatda dahshatli vahiyga guvoh bo‘lgan edi. U dengiz va to‘lqinlarning shovqin solayotganini, va odamlarning yuraklari qo‘rquvdan holdan ketayotganini ko‘rdi. U yerning silkinayotganini va tog‘larning dengiz qa’riga ko‘chirilayotganini (bu so‘zma-so‘z sodir bo‘layotir), uning suvlari shovullab, toshib bezovta bo‘layotganini, va tog‘lar uning ko‘tarilishidan larzaga kelayotganini ko‘rdi. Unga balolar, o‘lat, qahatchilik va o‘lim o‘zlarining dahshatli vazifasini ado etayotganlari ko‘rsatildi.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.

When John was shown the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, he saw the distress of nations, as represented by the seas and waves roaring, and men’s hearts failing for fear, and it was the same sealing that Ezekiel was shown in chapter nine. Ezekiel was shown the internal elements of the sealing and John was shown the external elements associated with the sealing. John saw that the angering of the nations is associated with the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the angering of the nations is also Luke’s distress of nations which is historically identified as the Eastern Question. John was shown that Islam of the third Woe, is the external sign of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Yuhannoga bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining muhrlanishi ko‘rsatilganida, u dengizlar va to‘lqinlarning g‘uvillashi bilan ifodalangan xalqlarning tangligini hamda odamlarning yuraklari qo‘rquvdan behol bo‘lib qolishini ko‘rdi; bu Hizqiyoga to‘qqizinchi bobda ko‘rsatilgan ayni o‘sha muhrlanish edi. Hizqiyoga muhrlanishning ichki unsurlari ko‘rsatildi, Yuhannoga esa muhrlanish bilan bog‘liq tashqi unsurlar ko‘rsatildi. Yuhanno xalqlarning g‘azabga kelishi bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining muhrlanishi bilan bog‘liq ekanini ko‘rdi, va xalqlarning g‘azabga kelishi Luqodagi xalqlarning tangligidir, bu tarixan Sharq masalasi sifatida aniqlanadi. Yuhannoga uchinchi Voyning Islom dini bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining muhrlanishining tashqi belgisi ekani ko‘rsatildi.

> “The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.

> “Hozirgi vaqt tiriklarning barchasi uchun g‘oyat ulkan qiziqish davridir. Hukmdorlar va davlat arboblari, ishonch va hokimiyat mavqelarini egallagan kishilar, barcha tabaqalardagi tafakkurli erkaklar va ayollar e’tiborlarini atrofimizda sodir bo‘layotgan voqealarga qaratganlar. Ular xalqlar o‘rtasida mavjud bo‘lgan tarang va bezovta munosabatlarni kuzatmoqdalar. Ular har bir yer yuzidagi unsurga tobora egalik qilayotgan keskinlikni ko‘rmoqdalar va ulug‘ hamda hal qiluvchi bir narsa yuz berish arafasida ekanini — dunyo ulkan bir inqiroz yoqasida turganini — anglamoqdalar.

> “Angels are now restraining the winds of strife, that they may not blow until the world shall be warned of its coming doom; but a storm is gathering, ready to burst upon the earth; and when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture.

> “Farishtalar hozir nizo shamollarini ushlab turibdilar, toki dunyo o‘z boshiga kelayotgan halokatdan ogohlantirilmaguncha ular esmasin; ammo yer uzra yorilib tushishga tayyor bo‘lgan bir bo‘ron to‘planmoqda; va qachonki Xudo O‘z farishtalariga shamollarni qo‘yib yuborishni buyursa, shunday bir nizo manzarasi yuz beradi-ki, uni hech qanday qalam tasvirlab bera olmaydi.

> “The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things. Here are revealed the great final scenes in the history of our world, events that already are casting their shadows before, the sound of their approach causing the earth to tremble and men’s hearts to fail them for fear.” Education, 179, 180.

> “Muqaddas Kitob va faqat Muqaddas Kitobgina bu narsalar haqida to‘g‘ri tasavvur beradi. Unda dunyomiz tarixining buyuk yakuniy manzaralari, allaqachon o‘z soyalarini oldindan tashlayotgan voqealar ochib berilgan; ularning yaqinlashib kelayotgan sadosi yer yuzini titratib, odamlarning yuraklarini qo‘rquvdan holdan toydirmoqda.” Education, 179, 180.

In Luke chapter twenty-one Jesus identified the “signs” that ushered in the Millerite movement, and all those “signs”, according to Sister White, were fulfilled. The Lisbon earthquake, the dark day, the falling of the stars, and the distress of nations, which represented the shaking of the powers of earth that was fulfilled by Islam in the fear produced by the Eastern Question, are all fulfilled. The Millerite “signs” also include the Son of man coming with a cloud which was fulfilled in the correct order that the “signs” were given by Christ, for after the distress of nations ended with the restraint of the Ottoman supremacy in 1840, Christ came to the Most Holy Place on October 22, 1844, and when He came He came with clouds.

Luqo yigirma birinchi bobda Iso Millerchilar harakatiga yo‘l ochgan “alomatlar”ni ko‘rsatib berdi, va Sister White’ga ko‘ra, o‘sha “alomatlar”ning barchasi bajo bo‘lgan. Lissabon zilzilasi, qorong‘i kun, yulduzlarning qulashı va xalqlarning tangligi — bu yer yuzidagi qudratlarning larzaga kelishini ifodalagan bo‘lib, Sharq masalasi keltirib chiqargan qo‘rquv orqali Islom tomonidan bajo bo‘lgan — bularning hammasi bajo bo‘lgan. Millerchilar “alomatlari” qatoriga Inson O‘g‘lining bulut bilan kelishi ham kiradi; bu esa Masih tomonidan “alomatlar” qanday tartibda berilgan bo‘lsa, aynan o‘sha to‘g‘ri tartibda bajo bo‘lgan, chunki xalqlarning tangligi 1840-yilda Usmonli ustunligining jilovlanishi bilan nihoyasiga yetganidan so‘ng, Masih 1844-yil 22-oktabrda Eng Muqaddas Joyga keldi, va U kelganida, bulutlar bilan keldi.

> “‘And, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away.’ Daniel 7:13, 14. The coming of Christ here described is not His second coming to the earth. He comes to the Ancient of Days in heaven to receive dominion and glory and a kingdom, which will be given Him at the close of His work as a mediator. It is this coming, and not His second advent to the earth, that was foretold in prophecy to take place at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844. Attended by heavenly angels, our great High Priest enters the holy of holies and there appears in the presence of God to engage in the last acts of His ministration in behalf of man—to perform the work of investigative judgment and to make an atonement for all who are shown to be entitled to its benefits.” The Great Controversy, 479.

> “‘Va mana, osmon bulutlari bilan Inson O‘g‘liga o‘xshash Bir Zot kelib, Qadimiy Zot huzuriga yetib keldi, va Uni Uning oldiga yaqinlashtirdilar. Va Unga hukmronlik, shon-sharaf va shohlik berildi, toki barcha xalqlar, millatlar va tillar Unga xizmat qilsinlar: Uning hukmronligi o‘tib ketmaydigan abadiy hukmronlikdir.’ Doniyor 7:13, 14. Bu yerda tasvirlangan Masihning kelishi Uning yerga ikkinchi bor kelishidir emas. U osmonda Qadimiy Zot huzuriga hukmronlik, shon-sharaf va shohlikni qabul qilish uchun keladi; bular Unga vositachi sifatidagi xizmatining yakunida beriladi. Bashoratda 1844-yilda 2300 kunning oxirida sodir bo‘lishi oldindan aytilgan narsa aynan shu kelish bo‘lib, Uning yerga ikkinchi bor kelishi emas. Samoviy farishtalar hamrohligida buyuk Oliy Ruhoniyimiz eng muqaddas joyga kiradi va u yerda inson uchun O‘z xizmatining so‘nggi amallarini bajarish uchun — tergov hukmini amalga oshirish va uning ne’matlaridan bahramand bo‘lishga haqli ekani ayon bo‘lganlarning barchasi uchun kafforat qilish uchun — Xudoning huzurida zohir bo‘ladi.” Buyuk Kurash, 479.

The “signs” associated with the history of the Millerites typified the “signs” associated with the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. When Christ provided the second witness to the historical narrative with the parable, He pointed His disciples to “the budding trees of spring.” He informed them that when the trees begin to bud out you know you are near the end of the world, and that the generation that witnesses the budding trees of spring will live to see the heavens and the earth pass away, in the fires of His second coming.

Millerchilar tarixi bilan bog‘liq bo‘lgan “belgilar” yuz qirq to‘rt mingning tarixi bilan bog‘liq bo‘lgan “belgilar”ning timsoli edi. Masih tarixiy rivoyatga masal orqali ikkinchi guvohlikni berganida, U O‘z shogirdlarining e’tiborini “bahordagi kurtak yozayotgan daraxtlar”ga qaratdi. U ularga daraxtlar kurtak yoza boshlaganda, dunyoning oxiriga yaqinlashganingizni bilishingizni, va bahordagi kurtak yozayotgan daraxtlarga guvoh bo‘lgan avlod Uning ikkinchi kelishining olovlari ichida osmonlaru yerning o‘tib ketishini ko‘rish uchun yashab qolishini bildirdi.

> When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Luke 21:30–33.

> Endi ular kurtak yozganda, yozning yaqinlashganini o‘z-o‘zingizdan ko‘rib ham, bilib ham olasiz. Xuddi shuningdek sizlar ham, bu narsalarning yuz berayotganini ko‘rganingizda, bilingki, Xudoning Shohligi yaqinlashgandir. Sizlarga chinini aytaman: bularning hammasi bajo bo‘lmaguncha, bu nasl o‘tib ketmaydi. Osmon bilan yer o‘tib ketadi, lekin Mening so‘zlarim aslo o‘tib ketmaydi. Luqo 21:30–33.

The question then becomes, “when did the trees begin to shoot forth?” The latter rain began to sprinkle on September 11, 2001, which according to Isaiah is “the day” of God’s “rough wind in the day of the east wind.”

Shunday ekan, savol quyidagicha bo‘ladi: “daraxtlar qachon kurtak yoza boshladi?” Keyingi yomg‘ir 2001-yil 11-sentabrda sepa boshladi; bu esa Ishayoga ko‘ra, Xudoning “sharq shamoli kunidagi” “qattiq shamoli kuni”dir.

> In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:8–13.

> O‘lchov bilan, u unib chiqqanda, Sen u bilan bahslashursan; sharq shamoli kunida U O‘zining qattiq shamolini tiyib turar. Shuning uchun Yoqubning gunohi poklanadi; uning gunohini olib tashlashning butun mevasi mana shudir: u qurbongohning barcha toshlarini chilparchin qilingan bo‘r toshlaridek qilganida, Asheralar ham, but-suratlar ham tik turmaydi. Ammo mustahkam shahar huvillab qoladi, maskan tashlab ketiladi va sahrodek qoldiriladi; u yerda buzoq o‘tlaydi, u yerda yotib, uning shox-shabbalarini yeb tamom qiladi. Uning shoxlari quriganda, ular sindirib tashlanadi; ayollar kelib, ularni yoqadilar; chunki bu aql-idroksiz xalqdir. Shuning uchun ularni yaratgan Zot ularga rahm qilmaydi, ularni shakllantirgan Zot ularga marhamat ko‘rsatmaydi. Va o‘sha kunda shunday bo‘ladiki, Egamiz daryoning o‘zanidan to Misr soyigacha boshog‘ini qoqib olganday qoqib oladi, va sizlar birma-bir yig‘ib olinursizlar, ey Isroil o‘g‘illari. Va o‘sha kunda shunday bo‘ladiki, buyuk karnay chalinadi, va Ossuriya yurtida halok bo‘lish arafasida bo‘lganlar ham, Misr yurtidagi quvg‘inlar ham kelib, Quddusdagi muqaddas tog‘da Egamizga sajda qiladilar. Ishayo 27:8–13.

The latter rain began to sprinkle (measured) on September 11, 2001, and the debate over the message of the latter rain and the counterfeit peace and safety message began. The history of that debate is where the iniquity of Jacob is removed (purged, meaning atoned for). The history of the debate, which is the debate of Habakkuk, is the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, that concludes with the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist being spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, for it, as “the defenced city,” shall be desolate, for it had become the city of a people of no understanding, who find no mercy or favor. At that time the “second voice” of Revelation eighteen, will blow a great trumpet, which is the seventh trumpet and the third woe, and God’s other flock shall come and worship at “Jerusalem”, which will have become the movement of the church triumphant.

Кейинги ёмғир 2001 йил 11 сентябрда сепила бошлади (ўлчов билан), ва кейинги ёмғир хабарини ҳамда сохта тинчлик ва хавфсизлик хабари ҳақидаги баҳс бошланди. Ўша баҳснинг тарихи — Ёқубнинг гуноҳи олиб ташланадиган (покланадиган, яъни каффорат қилинадиган) жойдир. Баҳс тарихи, яъни Ҳабаққуқнинг баҳси, юз қирқ тўрт минг кишининг муҳрланиш давридир; у Лаодикиялик Еттинчи кун Адвентистининг Раббнинг оғзидан қайтариб ташланиши билан якунланади, чунки у, “мустаҳкамланган шаҳар” сифатида, хароб бўлади, зеро у раҳм-шавқат ҳам, илтифот ҳам топмайдиган, ақл-идроксиз халқнинг шаҳрига айланган эди. Ўша пайтда Ваҳий ўн саккиздаги “иккинчи овоз” буюк карнай чалади; у еттинчи карнай ва учинчи войдир, ҳамда Худонинг бошқа подаси “Қуддус”да келиб сажда қилади, у эса ғолиб жамоат ҳаракатига айланган бўлади.

September 11, 2001, identifies that the last generation of earth’s history has arrived, and only those that recognize the budding trees of spring will receive the rain that is causing the trees to bud. Only those that recognize that Islam of the third woe, is what marks the arrival of the latter rain and the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, will be among that group.

2001-yil 11-sentabr yer tarixining so‘nggi avlodi yetib kelganini ko‘rsatadi va faqat bahorning kurtak yozayotgan daraxtlarini taniganlargina daraxtlarni kurtak yozdirayotgan yomg‘irni qabul qiladilar. Faqat uchinchi voy holatidagi Islom keyingi yomg‘irning kirib kelishi va bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning muhrlanishini belgilab beradigan narsa ekanini taniganlargina o‘sha guruh orasida bo‘ladilar.

> “Only those who are living up to the light they have will receive greater light. Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” Testimonies to Ministers, 507.

> “Faqat o‘zlarida bor nurga muvofiq yashayotganlargina yanada buyukroq nurni qabul qiladilar. Agar biz faol masihiy fazilatlarni namoyon etishda har kuni olg‘a siljib bormasak, so‘nggi yomg‘irdagi Muqaddas Ruhning namoyon bo‘lishlarini tanimaymiz. U atrofimizdagi hamma qalblarga yog‘ayotgan bo‘lishi mumkin, ammo biz uni na farqlaymiz, na qabul qilamiz.” Testimonies to Ministers, 507.

> “We must not wait for the latter rain. It is coming upon all who will recognize and appropriate the dew and showers of grace that fall upon us. When we gather up the fragments of light, when we appreciate the sure mercies of God, who loves to have us trust Him, then every promise will be fulfilled. ‘For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations’ (Isaiah 61:11). The whole earth is to be filled with the glory of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.

> “Biz keyingi yomg‘irni kutib turmasligimiz kerak. U ustimizga yog‘ayotgan inoyatning shudringi va yomg‘irlarini tan olib, ularni o‘zlashtiradiganlarning barchasi ustiga kelmoqda. Biz nurning parchalarini yig‘ib olganimizda, O‘ziga ishonishimizni xush ko‘radigan Xudoning shubhasiz marhamatlarini qadrlaganimizda, har bir va’da bajo bo‘ladi. ‘Chunki yer o‘z niholini undirgani kabi, va bog‘ unda ekilgan narsalarni o‘stirgani kabi; shunday qilib Rabbiy Xudo barcha xalqlar oldida solihlik va hamdu sanoni unib chiqarmoqchi’ (Ishayo 61:11). Butun yer yuzi Xudoning ulug‘vorligi bilan to‘lishi kerak.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 7-jild, 984.

Tadqiqotni keyingi maqolada davom ettiramiz.

> “Unless those who can help in——are aroused to a sense of their duty, they will not recognize the work of God when the loud cry of the third angel shall be heard. When light goes forth to lighten the earth, instead of coming up to the help of the Lord, they will want to bind about His work to meet their narrow ideas. Let me tell you that the Lord will work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be contrary to any human planning. There will be those among us who will always want to control the work of God, to dictate even what movements shall be made when the work goes forward under the direction of the angel who joins the third angel in the message to be given to the world. God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.” Testimonies to Ministers, 300.

> “——dagi yordam bera oladiganlar o‘z burchlarini anglashga uyg‘otilmas ekanlar, uchinchi farishtaning baland nidosi eshitilganda ular Xudoning ishini tan olmaydilar. Yer yuzini yoritish uchun nur taralganda, ular Rabbiyga yordamga kelish o‘rniga, Uning ishini o‘zlarining tor qarashlariga moslashtirish uchun uni cheklab qo‘ymoqchi bo‘ladilar. Sizlarga shuni aytib qo‘yay: Rabbiy bu so‘nggi ishda odatdagi tartibdan juda tashqari bo‘lgan tarzda va har qanday insoniy rejalashtirishga zid bo‘lgan yo‘l bilan ish olib boradi. Oramizda shundaylar bo‘ladiki, ular doimo Xudoning ishini boshqarishni, hatto dunyoga berilishi lozim bo‘lgan xabarda uchinchi farishtaga qo‘shiladigan farishtaning yo‘llanmasi ostida ish oldinga siljiganda, qanday harakatlar qilinishi kerakligini ham belgilab berishni istaydilar. Xudo shunday yo‘l va vositalardan foydalanadiki, bundan jilovlarni O‘z qo‘liga olayotgani ayon bo‘ladi. Ishchilar U O‘zining solihlik ishini amalga oshirish va kamoliga yetkazish uchun qo‘llaydigan sodda vositalardan hayratda qoladilar.” Testimonies to Ministers, 300.
