The Book of Daniel unfolds a remarkable prophetic narrative, weaving a principle of repeat and enlarge which threads through its visions, from the metallic statue of chapter 2 to the intricate kingly conflicts of chapter 11. Within this framework, a compelling case emerges: the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, culminating in Egypt’s fall in 30 BC, stands as a pivotal fulfillment of Daniel 11:25, 26, marking the dawn of pagan Rome’s 360-year supremacy.

Daniyor kitobi g‘oyat diqqatga sazovor bir bashoratli rivoyatni ochib beradi; unda takrorlash va kengaytirish tamoyili to‘qib kirgan bo‘lib, bu tamoyil 2-bobdagi metall haykaldan tortib 11-bobdagi murakkab shohlar to‘qnashuvlarigacha bo‘lgan vahiylar orqali izchil o‘tadi. Ana shu tuzilma doirasida ishonchli bir dalil namoyon bo‘ladi: miloddan avvalgi 31-yildagi Aktiy jangi, miloddan avvalgi 30-yilda Misrning qulashi bilan yakun topib, Daniyor 11:25, 26 ning hal qiluvchi amalga oshishi sifatida namoyon bo‘ladi hamda butparast Rimning 360 yillik ustunligining tongini belgilaydi.

Daniel 11 begins with the rise and fall of empires following Alexander the Great’s death in 323 BC. Yet, by verse 14, a shift occurs. Around 200 BC, as Antiochus III (Magnus) prepared for the Battle of Panium against the child-king Ptolemy V, Rome intervened, not as a mere bystander but as the “robbers of thy people.” Concerned about securing Egypt’s wheat supply amid Hellenistic turmoil, Rome flexed its influence during the Second Macedonian War (200–197 BC), setting the stage for its prophetic role.

Doniyor 11 Aleksandr Zulqarnaynning miloddan avvalgi 323-yilda vafotidan keyin imperiyalarning ko‘tarilishi va qulashidan boshlanadi. Biroq, 14-oyatga kelib, bir burilish yuz beradi. Miloddan avvalgi taxminan 200-yilda, Antiox III (Magnus) bola-shoh Ptolemey V ga qarshi Panium jangiga tayyorgarlik ko‘rayotgan paytda, Rim oddiy tomoshabin sifatida emas, balki “sening xalqingning talonchilari” sifatida aralashdi. Ellinistik notinchlik o‘rtasida Misrning bug‘doy ta’minotini kafolatlash tashvishi bilan, Rim Ikkinchi Makedoniya urushi (miloddan avvalgi 200–197-yillar) davomida o‘z ta’sirini namoyon etdi va o‘zining bashoratdagi roliga zamin hozirladi.

## Rome’s Dominance Over the Jews

Rimning yahudiylar ustidan hukmronligi

Fast forward to 63 BC, and verse 16 finds fulfillment when Pompey storms Jerusalem, entering the Holy of Holies and asserting Roman dominion over the “glorious land.” From here, verses 17 through 22 trace a succession of Roman figures: Pompey’s eastern campaigns, Julius Caesar’s conquests and assassination in 44 BC, Augustus Caesar’s tax-raising reign (noted in Luke 2:1) ending in 14 AD, and Tiberius overseeing Christ’s crucifixion in the year 31 AD, when the “prince of the covenant” was broken. The prophetic line from Pompey in Jerusalem to Titus in Jerusalem in 70 AD, sets forth the line of Rome’s dominance over God’s people.

Miloddan avvalgi 63-yilga kelganda, 16-oyat o‘z ijrosini topadi: Pompey Quddusga bostirib kirib, Muqaddaslar Muqaddasiga kiradi va “go‘zal yurt” ustidan Rim hukmronligini qaror toptiradi. Shu yerdan boshlab, 17-oyatdan 22-oyatgacha bo‘lgan oyatlar Rim arboblarining ketma-ketligini kuzatib boradi: Pompeyning sharqdagi yurishlari, Yuliy Qaysarning zabtlari va miloddan avvalgi 44-yildagi suiqasd natijasida o‘ldirilishi, Avgust Qaysarning soliq joriy etuvchi hukmronligi (Luqo 2:1 da qayd etilgan) milodiy 14-yilda yakun topishi, hamda Tiberiyning milodiy 31-yilda, “ahdning shahzodasi” sindirilgan paytda, Masihning xochga mixlanishi ustidan nazorat olib borishi. Quddusdagi Pompeydan milodiy 70-yildagi Quddusdagi Titusgacha cho‘zilgan bashoratli chiziq, Xudoning xalqi ustidan Rimning hukmronligi chizig‘ini namoyon etadi.

Beginning with a Roman General desecrating the temple on to the ending when a Roman General destroyed the temple provides the signature of Alpha and Omega. Beginning with desecrating and ending with destruction the historical line also contains the desecration and the destruction of the One who said of Himself, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” Truth is made up of the first, thirteenth and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and the line beginning with Pompey and ending with Titus includes a middle temple destruction that is represented by the middle of three crosses, that were erected at the very middle of the week Christ came to confirm the covenant. Verses sixteen through twenty-two represent a prophetic line that bears the signature of truth. There are a handful of important prophetic lines within the history represented by the verses, but the primary theme of the line is Rome’s dominance over the Jews.

Ma’badni bulg‘agan bir Rim lashkarboshisidan boshlanib, ma’badni vayron qilgan bir Rim lashkarboshisi bilan yakun topishi Alfa va Omegoning muhrini beradi. Bulg‘ash bilan boshlanib, vayron qilish bilan tugaydigan bu tarixiy chiziq, O‘zi haqida: “Bu ma’badni buzinglar, Men uni uch kunda qayta tiklayman”, degan Zotning bulg‘anishi va vayron qilinishini ham o‘z ichiga oladi. Haqiqat ibroniy alifbosining birinchi, o‘n uchinchi va oxirgi harflaridan tarkib topgan bo‘lib, Pompeydan boshlanib Titus bilan tugaydigan chiziq o‘rtadagi bir ma’bad vayron qilinishini ham o‘z ichiga oladi; bu esa Masih ahdni tasdiqlash uchun kelgan haftaning aynan o‘rtasida tiklangan uch xochning o‘rtadagisi orqali ifodalanadi. O‘n oltinchi oyatdan yigirma ikkinchi oyatgacha haqiqatning muhrini ko‘tarib yuruvchi bashoratli bir chiziqni ifodalaydi. Oyatlar bilan tasvirlangan tarix ichida muhim bashoratli chiziqlardan bir nechtasi bor, biroq bu chiziqning asosiy mavzusi Rimning yahudiylar ustidan hukmronligidir.

## Leagues and Treaties

Ittifoqlar va Shartnomalar

Verse 23 “repeats and enlarges” by looping back to 161–158 BC, when the Jews under Judas Maccabeus forged a league with Rome (1 Maccabees 8). This highlights Rome’s unique empire-building strategy—conquest through treaties and alliances, a method distinct from its predecessors. Verse 24 concludes this phase, noting Rome would “forecast its devices from the strongholds, even for a time.”

23-oyat miloddan avvalgi 161–158-yillarga qaytib, Yahudolar Yahudo Makkabiy boshchiligida Rim bilan ittifoq tuzgan davrni (1 Makkabiylar 8) takroran tilga oladi va yanada kengaytiradi. Bu Rimning imperiya barpo etishdagi o‘ziga xos strategiyasini — shartnomalar va ittifoqlar orqali zabt etish usulini, ya’ni o‘zidan oldingi saltanatlardan farq qiladigan usulni ta’kidlaydi. 24-oyat esa bu bosqichni yakunlab, Rim “qal’alardan turib, hatto bir muddatga qadar, o‘z hiyla-nayranglarini oldindan rejalashtirar edi”, deb qayd etadi.

> And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:23, 24.

> U bilan tuzilgan ittifoqdan keyin u hiyla bilan ish ko‘radi; chunki u kelib, oz sonli xalq bilan kuchayadi. U viloyatning eng serhosil joylariga ham osoyishtalik bilan kiradi; va otalari ham, otalarining otalari ham qilmagan ishni qiladi; u ular orasida o‘lja, talon-toroj va boylikni sochadi; ha, u qal’alarga qarshi o‘z rejalari tuzadi, ammo bu bir muddatgacha bo‘ladi. Doniyor 11:23, 24.

## For a Time

Bir muddatga

The word translated “against” can be understood as the word “from”. Rome forecasts its devices “from”. The word “from” in the verse points to the city of Rome, the empire’s political and military heart, as the base of its strategies. The “time” is prophetically 360 years, beginning when Egypt falls in 30 BC after Actium, and ending in the year 330 when Constantine abandons Rome for Constantinople.

“qarshi” deb tarjima qilingan so‘z “dan” ma’nosida ham tushunilishi mumkin. Rim o‘z hiylalarini “dan” bashorat qiladi. Oyatdagi “dan” so‘zi imperiyaning siyosiy va harbiy yuragi bo‘lgan Rim shahrini uning strategiyalarining tayanchi sifatida ko‘rsatadi. “Vaqt” payg‘ambarlik ma’nosida 360 yil bo‘lib, Misr Aktiumdan keyin miloddan avvalgi 30-yilda qulaganidan boshlanadi va Konstantin Rimni Konstantinopol uchun tark etgan milodiy 330-yilda yakunlanadi.

Verses 25 and 26 zero in on Actium itself.

25- va 26-oyatlar diqqatni aynan Aktionning o‘ziga qaratadi.

> And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. Daniel 11:25, 26.

> Va u buyuk bir qo‘shin bilan janub shohiga qarshi o‘z qudrati va jasoratini ishga soladi; janub shohi ham nihoyatda katta va qudratli bir qo‘shin bilan jangga qo‘zg‘aladi; ammo u bardosh bera olmaydi, chunki unga qarshi makrli rejalar tuziladi. Ha, uning dasturxonidan taom yeb turuvchilarning o‘zi uni halok qiladi, va uning qo‘shini toshib o‘tadi; ko‘plar esa o‘ldirilgan holda yiqiladilar. Doniyor 11:25, 26.

In 31 BC, Octavian, representing Rome as the “king of the north,” marshaled his forces against Cleopatra’s Egypt, the “king of the south,” in a monumental naval clash. Antony and Cleopatra’s “very great and mighty army” faltered, undone by strategic “devices” (Agrippa’s tactics) and betrayals—defections from Antony’s allies and Cleopatra’s mid-battle retreat. By 30 BC, Egypt was a Roman province, launching pagan Rome’s unchallenged rule. This 360-year span, from 30 BC to 330, aligns with Rome’s supremacy centered in its original stronghold, until Constantine’s shift “cast down” the stronghold, as Daniel 8:11 foretells.

Miloddan avvalgi 31-yilda, Rimni “shimol shohi” sifatida ifodalagan Oktavian “janub shohi” bo‘lgan Kleopatraning Misriga qarshi o‘z qo‘shinlarini ulkan dengiz to‘qnashuvida safarbar qildi. Antoniy va Kleopatraning “nihoyatda katta va qudratli qo‘shini” strategik “hiylalar” (Agrippaning taktikasi) hamda xiyonatlar — Antoniyning ittifoqchilaridan yuz bergan taraf o‘zgartirishlar va Kleopatraning jang o‘rtasida chekinishi — tufayli zaiflashib, barbod bo‘ldi. Miloddan avvalgi 30-yilga kelib, Misr Rim viloyatiga aylandi va shu bilan butparast Rimning hech bir to‘siqsiz hukmronligi boshlandi. Miloddan avvalgi 30-yildan milodiy 330-yilgacha bo‘lgan bu 360 yillik davr, asl tayanch markazi atrofida jamlangan Rim ustunligiga muvofiq keladi; Konstantinning bu tayanchni “yerga qulatgan” ko‘chishi esa, Doniyor 8:11 oldindan bildirganidek, shu ustunlikka yakun yasadi.

> Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:11.

> Ha, u o‘zini hatto lashkarning Amirigacha ulug‘ladi, va uning tufayli kundalik qurbonlik olib tashlandi, hamda Uning muqaddas maskanining joyi qulatildi. Doniyor 8:11.

When Constantine cast down the city of Rome for the city of Constantinople, he left a power vacuum in the city of Rome open for the papal church to take the seat of authority represented by the city of Rome. The act fulfilled verse two of Revelation thirteen.

Konstantin Rim shahrini tashlab Konstantinopol shahrini tanlaganida, u Rim shahrida bir hokimiyat bo‘shlig‘ini qoldirdi va bu papalik jamoatiga Rim shahri timsolida ifodalangan hokimiyat o‘rnini egallash uchun imkon ochdi. Bu hodisa Vahiy kitobining o‘n uchinchi bobidagi ikkinchi oyatni bajo keltirdi.

> And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 13:2.

> Men ko‘rgan mahluq qoplonga o‘xshar edi, uning oyoqlari ayiqning oyoqlaridek, og‘zi esa sherning og‘zidek edi; va ajdarho unga o‘z qudratini, o‘z taxtini va buyuk hokimiyatni berdi. Vahiy 13:2.

In Daniel 8, two different Hebrew words, both translated as “sanctuary” distinguish the story of the sanctuary in the book of Daniel. The book of Daniel represents a warfare between Christ and Satan as illustrated in the earthly representatives of Christ and Satan. Babylon, Satan’s earthly representative conquers Jerusalem in the opening of Daniel, and Jerusalem conquers Babylon in verse forty-five of chapter eleven. The kingdoms represented by the city of Jerusalem and the city of Babylon are “sanctuaries of strength.” The cities of Babylon and Jerusalem are both sanctuaries of strength, and they both have their own temples within the city. The Pantheon temple is in the city of Rome, and the temple in Jerusalem is the counterpart in the prophetic narrative. Babylon and the city of Rome are counterfeits of Jerusalem.

Doniyor 8-bobda “muqaddas maskan” deb tarjima qilingan, biroq bir-biridan farq qiladigan ikkita ibroniycha so‘z Doniyor kitobidagi muqaddas maskan haqidagi bayonni ajratib ko‘rsatadi. Doniyor kitobi Masih va Shayton o‘rtasidagi urushni, Masih va Shaytonning yerdagi vakillari orqali tasvirlangan holda, ifodalaydi. Doniyor kitobining boshida Shaytonning yerdagi vakili bo‘lgan Bobil Quddusni zabt etadi, o‘n birinchi bobning qirq beshinchi oyatida esa Quddus Bobilni zabt etadi. Quddus shahri va Bobil shahri bilan ifodalangan shohliklar “qudrat maskanlari”dir. Bobil va Quddus shaharlari ikkalasi ham qudrat maskanlaridir, va ularning har ikkisining ham shahar ichida o‘z ma’badlari bor. Pantheon ma’badi Rim shahridadir, Quddusdagi ma’bad esa bashoratli rivoyatda uning muqobilidir. Bobil va Rim shahri Quddusning soxtalashtirilgan nusxalaridir.

In Daniel 8, the two Hebrew words are “miqdash” in verse 11, where the little horn (pagan Rome) casts down the “place of his sanctuary” (the city of Rome), when Constantine relocates in 330. The other word is “qodesh” in verses 13, 14, where God’s sanctuary awaits cleansing after 2300 days. Though both words are translated as sanctuary, “miqdash” can represent either God’s fortress or a pagan fortress, whereas “qodesh” is only used in the Bible to represent God’s sanctuary.

Doniyor 8-bobda ikkita ibroniycha so‘z qo‘llanadi: 11-oyatda “miqdash” — bu yerda kichik shox (butparast Rim) Konstantin 330-yilda ko‘chib o‘tganda “uning muqaddas joyining o‘rnini” (Rim shahrini) yiqitadi. Boshqa so‘z esa 13, 14-oyatlarda “qodesh”dir; u yerda Xudoning ma’badi 2300 kundan so‘ng poklanishni kutadi. Har ikkala so‘z ham “muqaddas joy” deb tarjima qilinsa-da, “miqdash” Xudoning qo‘rg‘onini ham, butparastlarning qo‘rg‘onini ham anglatishi mumkin, holbuki “qodesh” Muqaddas Kitobda faqat Xudoning ma’badini ifodalash uchun qo‘llanadi.

In Daniel 11:31, the “sanctuary of strength” (the city of Rome) is polluted as the Barbarians and Vandals bring warfare to the city of Rome. The “arms” in the verse started with Clovis in 496 and continued until papal Rome, was fully ascendant by 538, when the Ostrogoths are expelled from the city.

Doniyor 11:31 da “qudratli muqaddas maskan” (Rim shahri) ifloslanadi, chunki barbarlar va vandalilar urushni Rim shahriga olib keladilar. Oyatdagi “qo‘shinlar” 496-yilda Xlovis bilan boshlandi va papalik Rimi 538-yilga kelib, ostgotlar shahardan quvib chiqarilganda, to‘liq yuksalishga erishguniga qadar davom etdi.

The prophetic line from Actium extends beyond 330. Verse 30’s “ships of Chittim” identify the Vandals under Genseric, who sacked Rome in 455, signaling Western Rome’s collapse. Papal Rome then rises, ruling from 538 until 1798; for 1260 years until Napoleon’s General Berthier delivered the “deadly wound” by capturing Pius VI. The 360 years of pagan Rome, from 30 BC to 330, mirrors the 1260 years of papal Rome, each beginning when a third obstacle (Egypt, Ostrogoths) falls.

Actiumdan boshlangan bashoratli yo‘nalish 330-yildan ham nariga cho‘ziladi. 30-oyatdagi “Kittim kemalari” 455-yilda Rimni talon-toroj qilgan Genserik boshchiligidagi vandalalarni ko‘rsatadi va bu G‘arbiy Rimning qulashini bildiradi. Shundan so‘ng papalik Rimi ko‘tarilib, 538-yildan 1798-yilgacha hukmronlik qiladi; ya’ni 1260 yil davomida, to Napoleonning generali Berthier Piy VI ni asirga olib, “halokatli jarohat”ni yetkazguncha. Miloddan avvalgi 30-yildan milodiy 330-yilgacha bo‘lgan butparast Rimning 360 yili papalik Rimining 1260 yiliga aks-sado beradi; har ikkisi ham uchinchi to‘siq (Misr, ostrogotlar) qulaganida boshlanadi.

The modern “king of the north” emerges in verse 40. In 1989, the papacy, allied secretly with Reagan’s USA (symbolized as chariots, ships, and horsemen), topples the USSR, the “king of the south” (atheism/Communism). Verse 41 identifies the papacy conquering the “glorious land”—turning the Protestant USA into the Catholic USA—while verses 42, 43 identify the United Nations represented by Egypt yielding to a threefold union consisting of the United Nations (the dragon) the Vatican (the beast) and the United States (the false prophet), steering the world to Armageddon. Verse 45 predicts this power’s end, “with none to help,” its wound healed in verse forty-one, but its fate sealed by verse forty-five.

Zamonaviy “shimol podshohi” 40-oyatda paydo bo‘ladi. 1989-yilda papalik, Reyganning AQSHi bilan maxfiy ittifoq tuzib (aravalar, kemalar va otliqlar sifatida ramziy ifodalangan holda), “janub podshohi” bo‘lgan SSSRni (ateizm/kommunizmni) qulatadi. 41-oyat papalikning “ulug‘vor yurt”ni zabt etishini ko‘rsatadi — protestant AQSHni katolik AQSHga aylantirishini — 42 va 43-oyatlar esa Misr orqali ifodalangan Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkiloti (ajdarho), Vatikan (hayvon) va Qo‘shma Shtatlar (soxta payg‘ambar)dan iborat uch tomonlama ittifoqqa bo‘ysunishini ko‘rsatadi; bu ittifoq dunyoni Armageddonga yetaklaydi. 45-oyat bu hokimiyatning “unga yordam beradigan hech kim bo‘lmaydi” degan holda yakun topishini bashorat qiladi; uning yarasi qirq birinchi oyatda tuzalgan bo‘lsa-da, qirq beshinchi oyatga kelib uning qismati muhrlanadi.

Actium in 31 BC is the focus of verses 25, 26, launching Rome’s 360-year reign from its sanctuary-stronghold. With verse fourteen as a caveat, the story of pagan Rome from verse sixteen unto the transition to papal Rome in verse thirty-one is the complete line of pagan Rome. That line is divided into three parts. Verse sixteen to twenty-two is the line of Rome’s dominance over ancient Israel. Verse twenty-three and twenty-four identifies that work of empire building which Rome employed when conquering through leagues and treaties in conjunction with military might. Verse twenty-four through to the last expression in verse thirty-one is a two-part line representing a period when Rome exalted itself, followed by a fall.

Miloddan avvalgi 31-yildagi Aktiy janggi 25 va 26-oyatlarning markaziy mavzusidir; u Rimning o‘z muqaddas joyi–qal’asidan boshlangan 360 yillik hukmronligini yo‘lga qo‘yadi. O‘n to‘rtinchi oyatni istisno sifatidagi ogohlantirish deb olgan holda, o‘n oltinchi oyatdan to papalik Rimiga o‘tish tasvirlangan o‘ttiz birinchi oyatgacha bo‘lgan butparast Rim haqidagi bayon butparast Rimning to‘liq chizig‘idir. Bu chiziq uch qismga bo‘linadi. O‘n oltinchi oyatdan yigirma ikkinchi oyatgacha Rimning qadimgi Isroil ustidan hukmronligi chizig‘idir. Yigirma uchinchi va yigirma to‘rtinchi oyatlar Rim harbiy qudrat bilan birga ittifoqlar va shartnomalar orqali zabt etishda qo‘llagan imperiya barpo etish ishini ko‘rsatadi. Yigirma to‘rtinchi oyatdan boshlab o‘ttiz birinchi oyatdagi so‘nggi ifodagacha bo‘lgan qism ikki bo‘lakli chiziq bo‘lib, Rimning o‘zini yuksaltirgan davrini, undan keyin esa qulashni ifodalaydi.

The “time appointed” is the conclusion of the 360 years in the year 330. Verses twenty-seven unto the last phrase of verse thirty-one, which identifies when the papal power, represented as the abomination that maketh desolate was placed on the throne in 538 is the history of pagan Rome in the context of the period of three hundred and sixty years of supreme rule, which is then followed by two hundred and eight years of a progressive fall.

“Belgilangan vaqt” 330-yildagi 360 yilning yakunidir. Yigirma yettinchi oyatdan o‘ttiz birinchi oyatning so‘nggi iborasigacha bo‘lgan, xarob qiluvchi jirkanchlik sifatida ifodalangan papalik hokimiyati 538-yilda taxtga o‘tqazilgan vaqtni aniqlab beruvchi qism, butparast Rimning oliy hukmronlik qilgan uch yuz oltmish yillik davri kontekstidagi tarixidir; shundan so‘ng esa izchil qulashning ikki yuz sakkiz yili keladi.

Therefore the “time” of verse twenty-four begins in 31 BC with an addition of the king of the south to the domain of the king of the north, and it ends in 330 with a division of the king of the north into east and west. From 330 unto 538 pagan Rome progressively falls apart. The various prophetic identifications associated with the various steps of demise of pagan Rome are the prophetic anchors that allow the student of prophecy to recognize God’s prophetic Word. In fulfillment of verse fourteen of Daniel eleven, Rome establishes the vision, and one of the ways that it does that very thing is through its fall. The verse states, “also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.”

Shunday ekan, yigirma to‘rtinchi oyatdagi “vaqt” miloddan avvalgi 31-yilda janub podshosining shimol podshosi hukmronligiga qo‘shilishi bilan boshlanadi va 330-yilda shimol podshosining sharq va g‘arbga bo‘linishi bilan tugaydi. 330-yildan 538-yilgacha butparast Rim asta-sekin parchalanib boradi. Butparast Rimning halokatga yuz tutishidagi turli bosqichlar bilan bog‘liq turli bashoratiy identifikatsiyalar bashorat talabasi uchun Xudoning bashoratiy Kalomini tanib olishga imkon beradigan bashoratiy tayanchlardir. Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobning o‘n to‘rtinchi oyati bajo bo‘lishida Rim vahiy-ni mustahkamlaydi, va buning aynan shunday amalga oshish yo‘llaridan biri uning qulashidir. Oyatda shunday deyilgan: “sening xalqingning talonchilari ham vahiy-ni mustahkamlash uchun o‘zlarini yuksaltirurlar; ammo ular yiqilurlar.”

When Rome is attacked by the ships of Chittim, and thereafter attacks the south, it was not as the either the former or the latter, for from here onward the fall of the Roman power is being portrayed. The first four trumpets of the seven trumpets of Revelation found in chapter eight specifically describe the four major powers that ultimately brought Western Rome to a conclusion by 476. The vision is established when the robbers of thy people exalt themselves and fall. The prophetic vision is illustrated upon the framework of Rome’s fall. Western pagan Rome fell from 330 unto 538. Papal Rome fell in 1798. In the history of the fifth and sixth trumpet Eastern Rome fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Those three falls are part of the vision that is established by the robbers of thy people.

Xittim kemalari tomonidan Rimga hujum qilinganda va shundan keyin u janubga hujum qilganda, bu avvalgidek ham, keyingidek ham emas edi, chunki shu yerdan boshlab Rim hokimiyatining qulash manzarasi tasvirlana boshlaydi. Vahiy kitobining sakkizinchi bobida uchraydigan yetti karnayning dastlabki to‘rtta karnayi, 476-yilga kelib G‘arbiy Rimni yakuniga yetkazgan to‘rtta yirik qudratni aniq tasvirlaydi. Vahiy sening xalqing orasidagi talonchilar o‘zlarini yuksaltirib, so‘ng qulaganlarida qaror topadi. Bashoratli vahiy Rimning qulashi qolipi ustiga tasvirlab berilgan. G‘arbiy butparast Rim 330-yildan 538-yilgacha qulab bordi. Papalik Rimi 1798-yilda quladi. Beshinchi va oltinchi karnay tarixida Sharqiy Rim 1453-yilda Usmonli turklar qo‘liga qulab tushdi. Ana shu uch qulash sening xalqing orasidagi talonchilar tomonidan qaror topadigan vahiyning bir qismidir.

The verse states, “also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.” From 31 BC to 330 pagan Rome “exalted themselves” in their supremacy over the world. From 330 to 538 pagan Rome fell away to prepare for the man of sin to be seated in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. From 538 unto 1798 the papal power “exalted themselves,” and in 1798 they fell. From 31 BC to 330 Western Rome “exalted” that it was the center of the Roman empire, and from 330 unto 476 it fell. In 330 Constantine exalted that Constantinople was the center of Eastern Rome and in 1453 Eastern Rome fell. The periods of the various representations of Rome, each possess a period where Rome exalts, followed by a period illustrating its fall, for “the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.”

Oyatda shunday deyilgan: “Sening xalqingning talonchilari ham vahiy(ni) sobit qilish uchun o‘zlarini yuksaltirurlar; ammo ular yiqilurlar.” Miloddan avvalgi 31-yildan milodiy 330-yilgacha butparast Rim dunyo ustidan hukmronlikdagi o‘z ustunligini “yuksaltirdi”. 330-yildan 538-yilgacha butparast Rim gunoh odami Xudoning ma’badida o‘tirib, o‘zini Xudo deb e’lon qilishi uchun tayyorgarlik sifatida qulab bordi. 538-yildan 1798-yilgacha papalik hokimiyati “o‘zini yuksaltirdi”, va 1798-yilda u quladi. Miloddan avvalgi 31-yildan milodiy 330-yilgacha G‘arbiy Rim Rim imperiyasining markazi ekanini “yuksaltirdi”, va 330-yildan 476-yilgacha u quladi. 330-yilda Konstantin Konstantinopol Sharqiy Rimning markazi ekanini yuksaltirdi, va 1453-yilda Sharqiy Rim quladi. Rimning turli ko‘rinishlariga oid davrlarning har biri Rimning yuksaladigan bir davriga, so‘ng esa uning qulashini ko‘rsatuvchi bir davrga egadir, chunki “sening xalqingning talonchilari ham vahiy(ni) sobit qilish uchun o‘zlarini yuksaltirurlar; ammo ular yiqilurlar.”

The Hebrew word translated as “robbers” is better translated as “breakers” for it aligns more closely with the root’s primary sense—to break through or disrupt—rather than strictly “robbers” (which implies theft). The term suggests those who fracture boundaries, laws, or covenants, not just steal goods. Rome is the breaker in Bible prophecy, though it is translated as “robbers” in verse fourteen. In Daniel chapter two Rome is the iron kingdom, and then in chapter seven the fourth beast is also Rome.

“Istilochilar” deb tarjima qilingan ibroniycha so‘z “buzuvchilar” deb tarjima qilingani ma’qulroq, chunki u o‘g‘irlikni anglatuvchi qat’iy “istilochilar”dan ko‘ra, ildizning asosiy ma’nosi — yorib o‘tmoq yoki izdan chiqarmoq — bilan yaqinroq mos keladi. Bu atama shunchaki mol-mulkni o‘g‘irlaydiganlarni emas, balki chegaralarni, qonunlarni yoki ahdlarni buzib yuboradiganlarni anglatadi. Muqaddas Kitob bashoratida Rim — buzuvchidir, garchi o‘n to‘rtinchi oyatda u “istilochilar” deb tarjima qilingan bo‘lsa ham. Doniyor kitobining ikkinchi bobida Rim temir saltanatdir, yettinchi bobda esa to‘rtinchi mahluq ham Rimdir.

> After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. Daniel 7:7.

> Shundan keyin men tunggi vahiylarda ko‘rdim, va mana, to‘rtinchi bir hayvon — dahshatli, qo‘rqinchli va nihoyatda qudratli edi; uning katta temir tishlari bor edi: u yeb tashlar, parchalab yuborar va qolganini oyoqlari bilan ezib tashlar edi; u o‘zidan oldingi barcha hayvonlardan farq qilar edi; va uning o‘nta shoxi bor edi. Doniyor 7:7.

The fourth beast–which is Rome–has “iron” teeth, for it is the same fourth kingdom represented as iron in chapter two. In verse seven the fourth beast of Rome “breaks in pieces,” and when it breaks in pieces it “stamped the residue with the feet of it.” The beast of Rome is the iron kingdom and the characteristic of braking in pieces and stamping the residue represents the act of persecution. The persecution brought upon ancient Israel was a “sign.”

To‘rtinchi hayvon — ya’ni Rim — “temir” tishlarga ega, chunki u ikkinchi bobda temir sifatida ifodalangan ayni o‘sha to‘rtinchi shohlikdir. Yettinchi oyatda Rimning to‘rtinchi hayvoni “parcha-parcha qiladi”, va u parcha-parcha qilganida, “qoldiqni oyoqlari bilan bosib ezdi”. Rim hayvoni temir shohlikdir va parcha-parcha qilish hamda qoldiqni bosib ezish xususiyati quvg‘in amalini ifodalaydi. Qadimgi Isroil boshiga keltirilgan quvg‘in bir “alomat” edi.

> Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed forever. Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young. Deuteronomy 28:45–50.

> Bundan tashqari, bu la’natlarning barchasi sening ustingga keladi, seni quvadi va senga yetib oladi, toki sen halok bo‘lguningcha; chunki sen Egang Xudoning ovoziga quloq solmading, U senga buyurgan amrlari va qonun-qoidalarini tutmading. Ular sening ustingda alomat va hayrat bo‘lib, zurriyoting ustida abadiy qoladi. Chunki sen Egang Xudoga hamma narsaning mo‘l-ko‘lligi uchun quvonch va qalb shodligi bilan xizmat qilmading; shu bois Egamiz senga qarshi yuboradigan dushmanlaringga ochlikda, chanqoqlikda, yalang‘ochlikda va har narsaga muhtojlikda xizmat qilasan; u seni halok qilgunicha bo‘yningga temir bo‘yinturuq soladi. Egamiz yerning chetidan, uzoqdan, burgut uchganiday tez uchib keladigan bir xalqni senga qarshi olib keladi; tilini sen tushunmaydigan bir xalqni; qiyofasi shafqatsiz bir xalqni, u qariyaning hurmatini joyiga qo‘ymaydi, yoshga ham marhamat ko‘rsatmaydi. Qonunlar takrori 28:45–50.

The curses upon ancient Israel brought about by their rebellion are a “sign and a wonder, and upon thy seed forever.” The curse was to be brought upon them with “a nation of fierce countenance.” The beast with iron teeth that “breaks in pieces and stamps the residue” in chapter seven is also the fourth kingdom which proceeds from the division of Alexander’s kingdom, and just as with Moses in Deuteronomy, that kingdom is a nation whose tongue ancient Israel would not understand. The kingdom of Rome in Daniel chapter eight is a nation of fierce countenance and a nation who speaks a different language.

Qadimgi Isroil ustiga ularning isyoni tufayli keltirilgan la’natlar “senga va zurriyotingga abadiy alomat va mo‘jiza”dir. Ularning ustiga la’nat “qahrli chehrali bir xalq” orqali keltirilishi kerak edi. Yettinchi bobdagi “parcha-parcha qilib, qoldig‘ini oyoq osti qilib ezadigan” temir tishli mahluq, shuningdek, Iskandar saltanatining bo‘linishidan keyin kelib chiqadigan to‘rtinchi shohlikdir; va Muso Qonunlar kitobida aytganidek, o‘sha shohlik qadimgi Isroil tushunmaydigan tilda so‘zlashuvchi bir xalqdir. Doniyor kitobining sakkizinchi bobidagi Rim shohligi qahrli chehrali bir xalq va boshqa tilda so‘zlashuvchi bir xalqdir.

> Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. Daniel 8:22, 23.

> Endi esa singani, holbuki uning o‘rniga to‘rttasi turgan bo‘lsa, bu shuni anglatadiki, o‘sha xalqdan to‘rtta shohlik ko‘tariladi, ammo uning qudrati bilan emas. Va ularning shohligi oxirgi davrida, gunohkorlar to‘liq pishib yetganlarida, qahrli chehrali va jumboqli gaplarni anglaydigan bir shoh ko‘tariladi. Doniyor 8:22, 23.

The “robbers (breakers) of thy people” establish the vision, they exalt themselves and they fall. The fourth iron kingdom was pagan Rome who ruled supremely when exalting themselves, but whose ultimate fall became a prophetic characteristic which establishes the vision. They are breakers for they trample down God’s people through persecution.

“Xalqingning qaroqchilari (buzg‘unchilari)” vahiyni mustahkamlaydilar; ular o‘zlarini yuksaltiradilar va yiqiladilar. To‘rtinchi temir shohlik butparast Rim edi; u o‘zini yuksaltirgan paytda mutlaq hukmronlik qildi, biroq uning oxir-oqibatdagi qulashi vahiyni mustahkamlaydigan bashoratli bir xususiyatga aylandi. Ular buzg‘unchilardir, chunki ta’qiblar orqali Xudoning xalqini oyoq osti qiladilar.
