The prophetic line which illustrates the testing represented by the formation of the image of the beast in the United States runs parallel with the three waymarks that represent the line of the Constitution. They run parallel to each other and they contribute specific information that addresses the other line. How is it that those who pass the image of the beast test will then be prepared to walk in the light that proceeds from the throne-room of God, during the time of persecution that begins at the Sunday law in the United States? What is it about the test of the formation of the image of the beast that seals the wise virgins into an experience which allows them to navigate through the period of persecution that begins at the Sunday law, when national apostasy is followed by national ruin, and Satan begins his marvelous works?

Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida hayvon suratining shakllanishi bilan ifodalangan sinovni tasvirlaydigan bashoratli chiziq Konstitutsiya chizig‘ini ifodalovchi uchta belgi bilan parallel ravishda kechadi. Ular bir-biriga parallel bo‘lib, boshqa chiziqqa taalluqli bo‘lgan muayyan ma’lumotni taqdim etadi. Hayvon surati sinovidan o‘tganlar qanday qilib keyinchalik Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida Yakshanba qonuni bilan boshlanadigan ta’qib davrida Xudoning taxtxonasidan chiqadigan nurda yurishga tayyor bo‘ladilar? Hayvon suratining shakllanishi sinovida shunday qanday jihat borki, u oqil bokiralarni muhrlab, ularni milliy murtadlikdan keyin milliy halokat keladigan va Shayton o‘zining ajoyib ishlarini boshlaydigan, Yakshanba qonuni bilan boshlanuvchi ta’qib davridan o‘tib borishga imkon beradigan bir tajribaga kiritadi?

> “It is impossible to give any idea of the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended. They will walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. By means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth. And Satan, surrounded by evil angels, and claiming to be God, will work miracles of all kinds, to deceive, if possible, the very elect.” Testimonies, volume 9, 16.

> “Samoviy ulug‘vorlik bilan o‘tmishdagi ta’qiblarning takrori qo‘shilib ketadigan paytda yer yuzida tirik qoladigan Xudoning xalqining tajribasi haqida biror tasavvur berishning iloji yo‘q. Ular Xudoning taxtidan chiqadigan nurda yuradilar. Farishtalar vositasida osmon bilan yer o‘rtasida doimiy aloqa bo‘ladi. Va yovuz farishtalar bilan o‘ralgan, o‘zini Xudo deb da’vo qiladigan Shayton, agar iloji bo‘lsa, hatto tanlanganlarning o‘zlarini ham aldash uchun har xil mo‘jizalar qiladi.” Testimonies, 9-jild, 16.

Sister White comments on the message Christ presented in the synagogue in Capernaum recorded in John chapter six. Her comments are in The Desire of Ages, in the chapter titled The Crisis in Galilee. There she emphasizes that Christ made no effort to prevent the rebellion that occured in John six, though He knew full well He would lose more disciples then than at any other time in His ministry among men.

Oqsoqol White Yuhanno kitobining oltinchi bobida qayd etilgan Masihning Kapernaumdagi ibodatxonada bayon etgan xabari haqida izoh beradi. Uning izohlari “Asrlar Tilagi” asarida, “Jaliladagi Inqiroz” deb nomlangan bobda keltirilgan. U yerda u Masih Yuhanno 6-bobda yuz bergan isyonning oldini olish uchun hech qanday sa’y-harakat qilmaganini ta’kidlaydi, garchi U o‘shanda O‘zining insonlar orasidagi xizmati davomida boshqa har qanday paytdagidan ko‘ra ko‘proq shogirdlarini yo‘qotishini to‘liq bilgan bo‘lsa-da.

> “When Jesus presented the testing truth that caused so many of His disciples to turn back, He knew what would be the result of His words; but He had a purpose of mercy to fulfill. He foresaw that in the hour of temptation every one of His beloved disciples would be severely tested. His agony in Gethsemane, His betrayal and crucifixion, would be to them a most trying ordeal. Had no previous test been given, many who were actuated by merely selfish motives would have been connected with them. When their Lord was condemned in the judgment hall; when the multitude who had hailed Him as their king hissed at Him and reviled Him; when the jeering crowd cried, ‘Crucify Him!’—when their worldly ambitions were disappointed, these self-seeking ones would, by renouncing their allegiance to Jesus, have brought upon the disciples a bitter, heart-burdening sorrow, in addition to their grief and disappointment in the ruin of their fondest hopes. In that hour of darkness, the example of those who turned from Him might have carried others with them. But Jesus brought about this crisis while by His personal presence He could still strengthen the faith of His true followers.

> “Iso ko‘plab shogirdlarining ortga qaytishiga sabab bo‘lgan sinovchi haqiqatni bayon etganida, O‘z so‘zlarining natijasi qanday bo‘lishini bilar edi; ammo U ado etishi lozim bo‘lgan rahm-shafqat maqsadiga ega edi. U vasvasa soatida O‘zining har bir sevikli shogirdi qattiq sinovdan o‘tishini oldindan ko‘rdi. Uning Getsemaniyadagi iztirobi, xiyonat qilinishi va xochga mixlanishi ular uchun nihoyatda og‘ir bir sinov bo‘lar edi. Agar ilgari hech qanday sinov berilmaganida, faqat xudbin niyatlar bilan harakat qilgan ko‘plar ular bilan bog‘langan bo‘lur edi. Ularning Rabbisi hukm zalida mahkum etilganida; Uni o‘z shohi deb olqishlagan olomon Unga qarata hushtak chalib, haqorat qilganida; masxarachi to‘da: ‘Uni xochga mixlang!’ deb baqirganida, ularning dunyoviy orzu-intilishlari puchga chiqqach, o‘z manfaatini ko‘zlovchi bu kishilar Isoga bo‘lgan sadoqatlaridan voz kechib, shogirdlar ustiga eng ezgu umidlarining barbod bo‘lishidan tug‘ilgan qayg‘u va umidsizliklariga qo‘shimcha ravishda achchiq, yurakni ezuvchi bir alamni ham keltirgan bo‘lur edilar. O‘sha zulmat soatida Undan yuz o‘girganlarning namunasi boshqalarni ham o‘zlari bilan ergashtirib ketishi mumkin edi. Ammo Iso bu inqirozni, O‘zining shaxsiy huzuri bilan hali ham sodiq izdoshlarining imonini mustahkamlab tura oladigan paytida yuzaga keltirdi.”

> “Compassionate Redeemer, who in the full knowledge of the doom that awaited Him, tenderly smoothed the way for the disciples, prepared them for their crowning trial, and strengthened them for the final test!” The Desire of Ages, 394.

> “Rahmdil Najotkor, O‘zini kutayotgan halokatni to‘liq bilgan holda ham, shogirdlari uchun yo‘lni mehr bilan tekislagan, ularni eng ulug‘ sinovlariga tayyorlagan va yakuniy imtihon uchun quvvatlantirgan!” Asrlar Istagi, 394.

The Sunday law is the final test where character is manifested. Before the final test Christ, who never changes, allows a test by which His people’s eternal destiny will be decided. It is a test they must pass before they are sealed, and before their probation closes at the Sunday law. It is a prophetic test that prepares the wise virgins “for their crowning trial, and strengthens them for the final test!” Their “crowning trial” is their crowning test, for the wise virgins are those who are “purified, made white and tried.” The final test is their crowning trial, and in that testing time, the wise virgins “will walk in light proceeding from the throne of God”. What is it within the testing process represented as “the formation of the image of the beast” that prepares the wise virgins for the crowning trial and allows them to walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. What is the light that proceeds from the throne of God?

Yakshanba qonuni xarakterning namoyon bo‘ladigan so‘nggi sinovidir. So‘nggi sinovdan oldin, hech qachon o‘zgarmaydigan Masih O‘z xalqining abadiy taqdiri hal etiladigan bir sinovga yo‘l qo‘yadi. Bu ular muhrlanishlaridan oldin va ularning sinov muddati Yakshanba qonuni paytida yopilishidan oldin o‘tishlari lozim bo‘lgan sinovdir. Bu dono bokira qizlarni “ularning tojlovchi sinovi uchun tayyorlaydigan va ularni so‘nggi sinov uchun mustahkamlaydigan” bashoratli sinovdir! Ularning “tojlovchi sinovi” — ularning tojlovchi imtihonidir, chunki dono bokira qizlar “poklanadigan, oppoq qilinadigan va sinovdan o‘tkaziladiganlar”dir. So‘nggi sinov ularning tojlovchi sinovidir, va o‘sha sinov davrida dono bokira qizlar “Xudoning taxtidan kelib chiqadigan nurda yuradilar”. Sinov jarayonining “hayvonning surati shakllanishi” sifatida ifodalangan qaysi jihati dono bokira qizlarni tojlovchi sinovga tayyorlaydi va ularga Xudoning taxtidan kelib chiqadigan nurda yurish imkonini beradi? Xudoning taxtidan kelib chiqadigan nur nima?

> And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. Revelation 8:1–5.

> Va u yettinchi muhrni ochganida, osmonda qariyb yarim soat sukut bo‘ldi. Va men Xudo huzurida turgan yetti farishtani ko‘rdim; ularga yetti karnay berildi. Va boshqa bir farishta kelib, qurbongoh oldida turdi; uning qo‘lida oltin tutatqi idishi bor edi; va unga ko‘p tutatqi berildi, toki uni barcha azizlarning ibodatlari bilan taxt oldidagi oltin qurbongoh ustida taqdim etsin. Va farishtaning qo‘lidan chiqqan tutatqining tutuni, azizlarning ibodatlari bilan birga, Xudo huzuriga ko‘tarildi. Va farishta tutatqi idishini olib, uni qurbongohning olovi bilan to‘ldirdi-da, yerga otdi; va ovozlar, momaqaldiroqlar, chaqmoqlar va zilzila yuz berdi. Vahiy 8:1–5.

In the last days, in the period where the parable of the ten virgins is being fulfilled and the one hundred and forty-four thousand are being sealed, the seventh seal is unsealed and it identifies fire being cast to the earth in answer to the prayers of the saints. The fire that is cast down in the final and perfect fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins is the message of the midnight cry, as typified by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the Exeter camp meeting, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, which was there represented as fire. Notice Sister White’s commentary on the message of the midnight cry.

Oxirgi kunlarda, o‘nta bokira haqidagi masal amalga oshayotgan va bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming muhrlanayotgan davrda, yettinchi muhr ochiladi va u azizlarning ibodatlariga javoban yerga olov tashlanishini ko‘rsatadi. O‘nta bokira haqidagi masalning yakuniy va mukammal amalga oshishida pastga tashlanadigan olov — Exeter lager yig‘inidagi Muqaddas Ruhning to‘kilishi va Olov tillari sifatida namoyon bo‘lgan Hosil bayramidagi Muqaddas Ruhning to‘kilishi bilan timsollangan yarim tun faryodi xabaridir. Opa Uaytning yarim tun faryodi xabari haqidagi sharhiga e’tibor bering.

> “Those who rejected the first message could not be benefited by the second; neither were they benefited by the midnight cry, which was to prepare them to enter with Jesus by faith into the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. And by rejecting the two former messages, they have so darkened their understanding that they can see no light in the third angel’s message, which shows the way into the most holy place. I saw that as the Jews crucified Jesus, so the nominal churches had crucified these messages, and therefore they have no knowledge of the way into the most holy, and they cannot be benefited by the intercession of Jesus there. Like the Jews, who offered their useless sacrifices, they offer up their useless prayers to the apartment which Jesus has left; and Satan, pleased with the deception, assumes a religious character, and leads the minds of these professed Christians to himself, working with his power, his signs and lying wonders, to fasten them in his snare.” Early Writings, 259.

> “Birinchi xabarni rad etganlar ikkinchisidan naf ko‘ra olmadilar; na ular yarim tun nidosidan ham foyda oldilar, holbuki u ularni imon orqali Iso bilan birga samoviy muqaddasxonadagi eng muqaddas joyga kirishga tayyorlashi kerak edi. Va avvalgi ikki xabarni rad etish orqali ular o‘z tushunchalarini shu qadar qorong‘ilashtirib yubordilarki, eng muqaddas joyga yo‘lni ko‘rsatuvchi uchinchi farishtaning xabarida ham hech qanday nur ko‘ra olmaydilar. Men shuni ko‘rdimki, yahudiylar Isoni xochga mixlaganlari kabi, nomigagina masihiy jamoatlar ham bu xabarlarni xochga mixlaganlar, va shu sababli ular eng muqaddas joyga olib boradigan yo‘l haqida hech qanday bilimga ega emaslar hamda u yerda Isoning shafoatidan naf ko‘ra olmaydilar. Foydasiz qurbonliklarini keltirgan yahudiylar singari, ular ham Iso tark etgan bo‘linmaga o‘zlarining behuda ibodatlarini yo‘llaydilar; va bu aldovdan mamnun bo‘lgan Shayton diniy qiyofa kasb etib, bu o‘zlarini masihiy deb e’tirof etuvchi kishilarning ongini o‘ziga buradi, o‘z qudrati, alomatlari va yolg‘on mo‘jizalari bilan ularni o‘z tuzog‘iga yanada mahkamroq ilintiradi.” Early Writings, 259.

In the Millerite history the test of the message of the midnight cry “was to prepare them to enter with Jesus by faith into the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary.” The message of the midnight cry that is now being developed is also represented as the testing of the formation of the image of the beast. They are both the test that leads to the close of probation where character is manifested. When the Millerites entered into the Most Holy Place by faith, their faith was once again tested. The faith of the one hundred and forty-four thousand will be tested at the Sunday law, but they are promised that they will be safe, for they will walk “in the light proceeding from” the seventh seal, which was opened when the message of the midnight cry began to be unsealed in July of 2023.

Millerchilar tarixida yarim tun nidosi xabarining sinovi “ularni imon orqali Iso bilan birga samoviy ma’badning Eng Muqaddas joyiga kirishga tayyorlash” uchun edi. Hozir ochib berilayotgan yarim tun nidosi xabari ham hayvon suratining shakllanishi sinovi sifatida tasvirlanadi. Ularning ikkalasi ham inoyat muddatining yopilishiga olib boradigan, xarakterning namoyon bo‘ladigan sinovidir. Millerchilar imon orqali Eng Muqaddas joyga kirganlarida, ularning imoni yana bir bor sinovdan o‘tdi. Bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning imoni yakshanba qonuni paytida sinaladi, ammo ularga xavfsiz bo‘lish va’da qilingan, chunki ular 2023-yil iyulida yarim tun nidosi xabari muhrdan ochila boshlaganida ochilgan yettinchi muhrdan “chiqayotgan nurda” yuradilar.

The message that was unsealed at that time is established through the methodology of line upon line, which is the methodology of the latter rain. The latter rain began to sprinkle in 2001, and the final testing of Adventism began. In July of 2023 the final period in the testing process that concludes at the Sunday law began when the message of the midnight cry, which is also the latter rain, which is also the increase of knowledge that is produced when the seventh seal is removed, and is also the unsealing of the seven thunders as well as the Revelation of Jesus Christ. All the lines that represent an unsealing of prophetic light are identified as being unsealed in the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven.

O‘sha paytda muhrdan ochilgan xabar so‘nggi yomg‘irning metodologiyasi bo‘lgan “qator ustiga qator” metodologiyasi orqali qaror topadi. So‘nggi yomg‘ir 2001-yilda sepa boshladi va Adventizmning yakuniy sinovi boshlandi. 2023-yil iyulida, Yakshanba qonuni bilan yakun topadigan sinov jarayonining so‘nggi davri, yarim tun faryodi xabari — u ayni paytda so‘nggi yomg‘ir ham, yettinchi muhr olib tashlanganda hosil bo‘ladigan bilimning ortishi ham, shuningdek yetti momaqaldiroqning muhrdan ochilishi hamda Iso Masihning Vahiysi ham bo‘lgan xabar — boshlandi. Bashoratli nurning muhrdan ochilishini ifodalovchi barcha chiziqlar Doniyor 11-bob 40-oyatining yashirin tarixida muhrdan ochilgan deb aniqlanadi.

In that hidden history the line of the Constitution’s three primary waymarks is represented. It is the line when church and state come together to form the image of the beast. It contains a prophetic line that addresses the presidents of the United States which illustrate the dynamics of the political struggles that occur in the history of the Republican horn of the earth-beast. That line includes the parallel histories of both major political parties of the United States. That line is closely related to the horn of apostate Protestantism from its beginning in 1844, until it usurps the control of the civil government at the Sunday law.

O‘sha yashirin tarixda Konstitutsiyaning uch asosiy yo‘l-belgisining qatori ifodalangan. Bu jamoat bilan davlat birlashib, yirtqichning suratini hosil qiladigan qatordir. U Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari prezidentlariga taalluqli bo‘lgan bashoratli qatorni o‘z ichiga oladi; bu qator yer-yirtqichining Respublika shoxi tarixida yuz beradigan siyosiy kurashlar dinamikasini tasvirlaydi. O‘sha qator Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarining har ikkala yirik siyosiy partiyasining parallel tarixlarini ham o‘z ichiga oladi. O‘sha qator murtad Protestantizm shoxi bilan uning 1844-yildagi boshlanishidan boshlab, Yakshanba qonunida fuqaroviy hukumat ustidan nazoratni noqonuniy ravishda egallab olguniga qadar, chambarchas bog‘liqdir.

The prophetic role of apostate Protestantism includes the witness of the Hasmonaean Dynasty as a symbol of apostate Protestantism. In the backdrop of the line of the horn of apostate Protestantism you also have the line of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church. From the line of Laodicean Adventism you have the line of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That hidden history also has the line of Islam of the third woe. Russia has a line, the United Nations has a line and of course, the papal power has a line.

Murtad protestantizmning bashoratli roli murtad protestantizmning ramzi sifatida Hasmoniylar sulolasining guvohligini o‘z ichiga oladi. Murtad protestantizm shoxining chizig‘i fonida sizda, shuningdek, Laodikiya Yettinchi kun adventistlar jamoatining chizig‘i ham bor. Laodikiya adventizmi chizig‘idan bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning chizig‘i kelib chiqadi. O‘sha yashirin tarix uchinchi voy islomining chizig‘ini ham o‘z ichiga oladi. Rossiyaning chizig‘i bor, Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining chizig‘i bor va, albatta, papalik hokimiyatining ham chizig‘i bor.

If a student of prophecy applies himself as a Berean living in the last days, he will feed upon the lines that are identified in the hidden history of verse forty. The student of prophecy will take the book out of the angel’s hand and eat it. Then when the final test of the Sunday law arrives, he will not only have come to understand the message of the midnight cry that was unsealed, but he will fully understand how the image of the beast was formed in the United States.

Agar bashorat talabasi so‘nggi kunlarda yashayotgan bir bereyalik singari o‘zini bag‘ishlasa, u qirqinchi oyatning yashirin tarixida aniqlangan yo‘nalishlardan oziqlanadi. Bashorat talabasi kitobni farishtaning qo‘lidan olib, uni yeydi. So‘ng Yakshanba qonunining so‘nggi sinovi kelganda, u nafaqat muhrsiz qilingan yarim tun nidosi xabarini tushunib yetgan bo‘ladi, balki hayvonning surati Qo‘shma Shtatlarda qanday shakllantirilganini ham to‘la anglaydi.

The light of the seventh seal proceeds from the throne and in the context of the parable of the ten virgins it is the message of the midnight cry. The message of the midnight cry is what prepares the wise virgins for the period when the persecutions of the past are repeated.

Yettinchi muhrning nuri taxtdan chiqadi va o‘n bokira haqidagi masal kontekstida u yarim tun nidosi xabaridir. Yarim tun nidosi xabari o‘tgan zamonlardagi ta’qiblar takrorlanadigan davr uchun dono bokiralarni tayyorlaydigan xabardir.

> “In reviewing our past history, having traveled over every step of advance to our present standing, I can say, Praise God! As I see what God has wrought, I am filled with astonishment, and with confidence in Christ as leader. We have nothing to fear for the future except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.” Testimonies to Ministers, 31.

> “Bizning o‘tgan tariximizni ko‘zdan kechirar ekanman, hozirgi holatimizga qadar bo‘lgan taraqqiyotning har bir bosqichidan o‘tib, shuni ayta olaman: Xudoga hamdu sanolar bo‘lsin! Xudo nimalar qilganini ko‘rar ekanman, hayratga to‘laman va Masihga Yo‘lboshchi sifatida ishonchim mustahkamlanadi. Kelajakdan qo‘rqishimiz uchun hech qanday asos yo‘q, faqat Rabbiy bizni qanday yetaklaganini va o‘tgan tariximizdagi Uning ta’limotini unutib qo‘ysakgina qo‘rqishimiz mumkin.” Testimonies to Ministers, 31.

The Lord is leading His people in the testing process that began in July 2023. His leading included opening up the prophetic Word in relation to the hidden history of verse forty. That history identifies how the image of the beast is formed in the United States, and of course much more than simply that element of end-time events. When we find ourselves in the crowning trial at the Sunday law, when the persecutions of the past are beginning to repeat, we “have nothing to fear for the future except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.”

Rabbiyning O‘z xalqini 2023-yil iyulida boshlangan sinov jarayonida boshqarib kelmoqda. Uning yo‘lboshchiligi qirqinchi oyatning yashirin tarixiga doir ravishda bashoratli Kalomni ochib berishni ham o‘z ichiga oldi. O‘sha tarix Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida yirtqichning surati qanday shakllantirilishini ko‘rsatadi, va, albatta, faqat oxirzamon voqealarining shu unsurigina emas, bundan ancha ortig‘ini ham qamrab oladi. Biz yakshanba qonuni davridagi tojlovchi sinov ichida bo‘lganimizda, o‘tmishdagi quvg‘inlar takrorlana boshlayotgan bir paytda, “kelajakdan qo‘rqishimiz uchun hech qanday sababimiz yo‘q, faqat Rabbiyning bizni qanday boshqarganini va o‘tgan tariximizdagi Uning ta’limotini unutib qo‘ysakkina bundan qo‘rqishimiz mumkin.”

At the Sunday law the “past history” will be repeated in the period of the formation of the image of the beast in the United States. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has unsealed the final message and led His people to the hidden history of verse forty. There He taught His people to not simply understand His prophetic Word, but also the privilege and responsibility to attain an experience qualified to be among those of His people who were to be His representatives in the final crisis.

Yakshanba qonuni vaqtida Qo‘shma Shtatlarda yirtqichning suratini shakllantirish davrida “o‘tmish tarixi” takrorlanadi. Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni oxirgi xabar muhrini ochdi va O‘z xalqini qirqinchi oyatning yashirin tarixiga yetakladi. U yerda U O‘z xalqiga nafaqat O‘zining bashoratli Kalomini tushunishni, balki so‘nggi inqirozda Uning vakillari bo‘lishi kerak bo‘lgan O‘z xalqidan bo‘lganlar qatorida bo‘lishga munosib tajribaga erishish imtiyozi va mas’uliyatini ham o‘rgatdi.

One of the prophetic characteristics of those people is that they know how to walk by the light proceeding from the throne. That light is the light of the hidden history of verse forty, which describes in minute detail the religious, political, social and economic dynamics involved in erecting the image of the beast in the United States. The light which is recognized concerning this sacred history is produced through the application of line upon line, from here a little and there a little, and it is the light that describes the history when the persecutions of the past are once again initiated.

O‘sha xalqning bashoratli xususiyatlaridan biri shuki, ular taxtdan chiqayotgan nur bo‘yicha yurishni biladilar. O‘sha nur qirqinchi oyatning yashirin tarixining nuridir; u Qo‘shma Shtatlarda hayvonning suratini tiklash jarayoniga daxldor bo‘lgan diniy, siyosiy, ijtimoiy va iqtisodiy dinamikani nihoyatda batafsil tasvirlaydi. Ushbu muqaddas tarix haqida tan olinadigan nur satr ustiga satr, bu yerdan ozgina va u yerdan ozgina tamoyilini qo‘llash orqali hosil bo‘ladi; va u o‘tmishdagi quvg‘inlar yana bir bor boshlangan paytdagi tarixni tasvirlaydigan nurdir.

Those who understand the increase of knowledge are the wise, and the increase of knowledge is upon the formation of the image of the beast, and the wise will understand the history of the formation of the image of the beast in the world in advance of the arrival of that history. Jesus, as Alpha and Omega, always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing.

Bilimning ortishini tushunadiganlar donolardir, va bilimning ortishi hayvonning suratining shakllanishi ustidadir; donolar esa hayvon suratining dunyoda shakllanishi tarixini o‘sha tarixning yetib kelishidan oldin tushunadilar. Iso, Alfa va Omega sifatida, har doim bir narsaning oxirini uning boshlanishi bilan tasvirlaydi.

It is worth noting that the passage where Sister White identifies that God’s people will walk in light proceeding from the throne is the conclusion of the first chapter in Testimonies, volume nine. The chapter begins on page eleven, so the chapter begins at nine-eleven and it ends describing the Sunday law. It describes the period where the image of the beast is formed and the one hundred and forty-four thousand are manifested, but only if you have the faith to see that chapter in such a fashion.

Shuni ta’kidlash joizki, Xudoning xalqi taxtdan chiqayotgan nurda yurishini Sister White aniqlab bergan parcha Testimonies asarining to‘qqizinchi jildi birinchi bobining xulosasidir. Bob o‘n birinchi sahifada boshlanadi, demak, bob to‘qqiz-o‘n birdan boshlanadi va Yakshanba qonunini tasvirlash bilan yakunlanadi. U hayvonning surati shakllanadigan va bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining zohir bo‘ladigan davrni tasvirlaydi, ammo faqat o‘sha bobni shunday tarzda ko‘ra olish uchun imonga ega bo‘lsangizgina.

Being the first section of volume nine, it opens with that identification, and employs the title, For the Coming of the King. It is clearly referencing not only the Second Coming of Christ, but also the parable of the ten virgins, for the section title then quotes Paul.

To‘qqizinchi jildning birinchi bo‘limi bo‘lganligi sababli, u o‘sha ta’rif bilan ochiladi va “Shohning Kelishi uchun” degan sarlavhani qo‘llaydi. Bu, ravshanki, nafaqat Masihning Ikkinchi Kelishiga, balki o‘nta bokira qiz haqidagi masalga ham ishora qilmoqda, chunki bo‘lim sarlavhasi shundan so‘ng Pavlusdan iqtibos keltiradi.

> “Section 1—For the Coming of the King

> “1-bo‘lim — Shohning Kelishi Uchun

> “‘Yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.’ Hebrews 10:37.”

> “‘Yana ozgina vaqt, va kelishi lozim bo‘lgan Zot keladi hamda kechikmaydi.’ Ibroniylarga 10:37.”

The following two verses are left off, but they contribute to the light in the passage.

Quyidagi ikki oyat tushirib qoldirilgan, biroq ular ushbu parchadagi nurga hissa qo‘shadi.

> For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews 10:37–39.

> Chunki yana ozgina vaqt o‘tadi, keladigan Zot albatta keladi va kechikmaydi. Endi esa odil imon bilan yashaydi; ammo kimdir orqaga chekinsa, Mening jonim undan mamnun bo‘lmaydi. Lekin biz halokat sari chekinadiganlardan emasmiz, balki jonning najoti uchun imon keltiradiganlardandirmiz. Ibroniylarga 10:37–39.

Paul was referring to Habakkuk where the faithful wise virgins are contrasted with those who Paul says “draw back unto perdition.” Habakkuk said it this way:

Pavlus Xabaqquq kitobiga ishora qilgan edi; u yerda sodiq dono bokiralar Pavlus “halokat sari ortga chekinadilar”, deb aytgan kishilarga qarama-qarshi qo‘yiladi. Xabaqquq buni shunday ifodalagan edi:

> Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4.

> Mana, mag‘rurlangan uning joni unda to‘g‘ri emas; ammo solih o‘z imoni bilan yashaydi. Habakkuk 2:4.

Habakkuk’s tarrying time is the tarrying time of the ten virgins, and the chapter of the coming King, in connection with Paul’s words from Hebrews, identifies the perfect fulfillment and application of this chapter in the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That period began on September 11, 2001 and ends at the Sunday law, which is Laodicean Adventism’s last crisis, which in the parable of the ten virgins is the manifestation of character at the Sunday law. The last paragraphs of the chapter address the Sunday law, and the chapter begins by addressing September 11, 2001.

Habakkukning choʻzilish vaqti oʻn bokira haqidagi masaldagi choʻzilish vaqti boʻlib, kelayotgan Shoh haqidagi bob Ibroniylarga maktubdan Pavlusning soʻzlari bilan bogʻliq holda, ushbu bobning mukammal bajo boʻlishi va tatbiqini bir yuz qirq toʻrt mingning muhrlanishi davrida aniqlab beradi. Bu davr 2001-yil 11-sentabrda boshlangan va Yakshanba qonunida nihoyasiga yetadi; bu esa Laodikiyalik Adventizmning soʻnggi inqirozi boʻlib, oʻn bokira haqidagi masalda Yakshanba qonuni paytida xarakterning namoyon boʻlishidir. Bobning soʻnggi paragraflari Yakshanba qonuniga murojaat qiladi, bob esa 2001-yil 11-sentabrga murojaat qilish bilan boshlanadi.

> “The Last Crisis

> “So‘nggi inqiroz”

> “We are living in the time of the end. The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude.

> “Biz oxirzamonda yashamoqdamiz. Zamonning tezda amalga oshayotgan alomatlari Masihning kelishi yaqinlashganini e’lon qilmoqda. Biz yashayotgan kunlar tantanavor va muhimdir. Xudoning Ruhi asta-sekin, ammo shubhasiz, yerdan tortib olinmoqda. Balolar va hukmlar allaqachon Xudoning inoyatini mensimaydiganlar ustiga tushmoqda. Quruqlikda va dengizdagi falokatlar, jamiyatning notinch holati, urush vahimalari — bularning barchasi dahshatli alomatlardir. Ular nihoyatda ulkan ahamiyatga ega bo‘lgan yaqinlashib kelayotgan voqealarni oldindan xabar bermoqda.”

> “The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones.

> “Yovuzlik kuchlari o‘z safarlarini birlashtirib, uyushmoqda. Ular so‘nggi buyuk inqiroz uchun kuch to‘plamoqda. Yaqinda dunyomizda ulkan o‘zgarishlar yuz beradi, va yakuniy voqealar tez sur’atlarda sodir bo‘ladi.

> “The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future. Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails.

> “Dunyodagi ishlarning holati mashaqqatli zamonlar ayni ostonamizda turganini ko‘rsatmoqda. Kundalik gazetalar yaqin kelajakda yuz beradigan dahshatli to‘qnashuv alomatlari bilan to‘lib-toshgan. Dadil talonchiliklar tez-tez sodir bo‘lmoqda. Ish tashlashlar odatiy holga aylangan. O‘g‘riliklar va qotilliklar har tomonda sodir etilmoqda. Jinlar egallab olgan kishilar erkaklar, ayollar va kichik bolalarning joniga qasd qilmoqdalar. Odamlar razolatga mahliyo bo‘lib qolganlar, va har turdagi yovuzlik hukm surmoqda.

> “The enemy has succeeded in perverting justice and in filling men’s hearts with the desire for selfish gain. ‘Justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.’ Isaiah 59:14. In the great cities there are multitudes living in poverty and wretchedness, well-nigh destitute of food, shelter, and clothing; while in the same cities are those who have more than heart could wish, who live luxuriously, spending their money on richly furnished houses, on personal adornment, or worse still, upon the gratification of sensual appetites, upon liquor, tobacco, and other things that destroy the powers of the brain, unbalance the mind, and debase the soul. The cries of starving humanity are coming up before God, while by every species of oppression and extortion men are piling up colossal fortunes.

> “Dushman adolatni buzishga va odamlarning qalbini xudbinona foyda orttirish istagi bilan to‘ldirishga muvaffaq bo‘ldi. ‘Adolat uzoqda turibdi, chunki haqiqat ko‘chada yiqildi, va to‘g‘rilik kira olmaydi.’ Ishayo 59:14. Ulkan shaharlarda qashshoqlik va ayanchli holda yashayotgan, oziq-ovqat, boshpana va kiyim-kechakdan deyarli mahrum bo‘lgan behisob odamlar bor; ayni shu shaharlarda esa qalb orzu qilganidan ham ortig‘iga ega bo‘lgan, hashamatda yashab, pullarini boy bezatilgan uy-joylarga, shaxsiy zeb-ziynatga yoki bundan ham yomoni, shahvoniy nafslarini qondirishga, ichkilikka, tamakiga va miyaning quvvatlarini yemiradigan, aqlni izdan chiqaradigan hamda jonni tubanlashtiradigan boshqa narsalarga sarflayotganlar ham bor. Ochlikdan azob chekayotgan insoniyatning faryodlari Xudo huzuriga ko‘tarilmoqda, shu bilan birga esa odamlar zulm va tovlamachilikning har qanday turi orqali ulkan boyliklarni to‘plamoqdalar.”

> “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, tungi paytda menga osmon sari qavatma-qavat ko‘tarilib borayotgan binolarni ko‘rish ko‘rsatildi. Bu binolar o‘tga chidamli deb kafolatlangan edi, va ular o‘z egalari hamda bunyodkorlarini ulug‘lash uchun qurilgan edi. Bu binolar tobora balandroq va yanada balandroq ko‘tarilar edi, va ularda eng qimmatbaho materiallardan foydalanilgan edi. Bu binolarning egalari bo‘lganlar o‘zlaridan: ‘Biz Xudoni eng yaxshi tarzda qanday ulug‘lashimiz mumkin?’ deb so‘ramayotgan edilar. Rabbiy 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 shunday deb o‘yladim: “Qani edi, o‘z mablag‘larini shu tarzda sarflayotganlar o‘z yo‘llarini Xudo qanday ko‘rsa, shunday ko‘ra olsalar! Ular muhtasham binolarni qad ko‘tarmoqdalar, ammo olam Hukmdorining nazarida ularning rejalari va o‘ylab topishlari naqadar nodonlikdir. Ular butun qalb va aql quvvatlari bilan Xudoni qanday ulug‘lashlari mumkinligini o‘rganmayaptilar. Ular mana shuni — insonning birinchi burchini — ko‘zdan 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 ko‘targan sari, ularning egalari o‘z nafslari havasini qondirish va qo‘shnilarining hasadini qo‘zg‘atish uchun ishlatadigan pullari borligidan manmanona g‘urur bilan quvondilar. Ular shu tariqa sarflagan mablag‘ning ko‘p qismi siquv yo‘li bilan, kambag‘allarni ezib-siqib olish orqali qo‘lga kiritilgan edi. Ular osmonda har bir tijoriy muomala hisobga olinishi, har bir nohaq bitim, har bir firibgarona ish o‘sha yerda qayd etilishini unutdilar. Shunday vaqt kelmoqdaki, odamlar o‘z firibgarligi va takabburligida Rabbiy ularga oshib o‘tishga yo‘l qo‘ymaydigan bir nuqtaga yetadilar, va ular Yahovaning sabr-toqati ham bir chegara 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.

> “Keyingi ko‘z o‘ngimdan o‘tgan manzara yong‘in vahimasi edi. Odamlar baland va go‘yoki o‘tga chidamli binolarga qarab: ‘Ular mutlaqo xavfsiz’, dedilar. Ammo bu binolar xuddi qatronдан yasalganiday yonib bitdi. Yong‘in o‘chirish mashinalari vayronagarchilikni to‘xtatish uchun hech narsa qila olmadi. O‘t o‘chiruvchilar mashinalarni ishga tushira 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‘rsatma berildiki, Rabbiyning vaqti kelganda, agar mag‘rur, shuhratparast insonlarning qalbida hech qanday o‘zgarish yuz bermagan bo‘lsa, odamlar najot berishda qudratli bo‘lgan qo‘l halokat keltirishda ham qudratli bo‘lishini anglab yetadilar. Hech bir yerdagi kuch Xudoning qo‘lini to‘xtata olmaydi. Binolarni barpo etishda, Xudo O‘z qonunini mensimasliklari va xudbin shuhratparastliklari uchun odamlarga jazo yuborishning O‘zi belgilagan vaqti kelganda, ularni halokatdan saqlab qoladigan hech qanday materialdan foydalanib bo‘lmaydi.”

> “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.

> “Hozirgi jamiyat holatining zamirida yotgan sabablarni, hatto ta’lim-tarbiya arboblari va davlat arboblari orasida ham, anglaydiganlar ko‘p emas. Hukumat jilovini tutganlar axloqiy buzilish, qashshoqlik, faqirlik va tobora ortib borayotgan jinoyatchilik muammosini hal eta olmaydilar. Ular xo‘jalik faoliyatini yanada ishonchli asosga qo‘yishga behuda urinmoqdalar. Agar insonlar Xudoning Kalomi ta’limotiga ko‘proq e’tibor qaratganlarida, ularni hayratda qoldirayotgan muammolarning yechimini topgan bo‘lur 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 Yozuvlar Masihning ikkinchi kelishidan sal oldin dunyoning ahvolini tasvirlaydi. Talon-toroj va siquv bilan ulkan boylik to‘playotgan odamlar haqida shunday yozilgan: ‘Sizlar oxirgi kunlar uchun xazina yig‘ib qo‘ydingizlar. Mana, dalalaringizni o‘rib bergan ishchilarning sizlar tomonidan firib bilan ushlab qolingan haqi faryod qilmoqda; o‘rimchilarining faryodlari esa Sarvari Lashkarlarning Qulog‘iga yetib borgan. Sizlar yer yuzida rohat-farog‘atda yashadingizlar va aysh-ishrat surdingizlar; yuraklaringizni go‘yo so‘yim kuni uchungidek boqdingizlar. Solihni mahkum 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 tezda amalga oshayotgan alomatlari orqali berilgan ogohlantirishlarni kim o‘qiydi? Bu dunyoparastlar qalbida qanday taassurot uyg‘otadi? Ularning munosabatida qanday o‘zgarish ko‘rinadi? Nuh davridagi dunyo aholisining munosabatida ko‘ringanidan ortiq hech narsa ko‘rinmaydi. Dunyoviy ishlar va aysh-ishratga berilib ketgan to‘fondan avvalgilarning o‘zi ‘To‘fon kelib, hammasini supurib ketguncha anglamadilar.’ Matto 24:39. Ularga osmondan yuborilgan ogohlantirishlar berilgan edi, ammo ular quloq solishni rad etdilar. Bugun ham dunyo, Xudoning ogohlantiruvchi ovoziga mutlaqo parvo qilmay, 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.

> “Dunyo urush ruhi bilan junbushga kelgan. Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobidagi bashorat deyarli to‘liq amalga oshishiga yetib kelgan. Yaqinda bashoratlarda aytilgan kulfat manzaralari yuz beradi.

> “‘“Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof…. Because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate…. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.’ Isaiah 24:1–8.

> “‘“Mana, Egamiz yer yuzini bo‘shatadi, uni vayron qiladi, uni ostin-ustin aylantiradi va uning aholisini tarqatib yuboradi…. Chunki ular qonunlarni buzganlar, farmonni o‘zgartirganlar, abadiy ahdni buzganlar. Shu bois la’nat yer yuzini yutib yubordi, unda yashovchilar esa xarob bo‘ldilar…. Doira sadolari to‘xtaydi, shodlanayotganlarning shovqini nihoyasiga yetadi, arfanning quvonchi so‘nadi.’ Ishayo 24:1–8.

> “‘Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come…. The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down, for the corn is withered. How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.’ ‘The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.” Joel 1:15–18, 12.

> “‘Voy o‘sha kunning holiga! Chunki Egamizning kuni yaqin, va u Qodir Zot tomonidan keladigan halokat kabi kelur…. Urug‘lar o‘z kesaklari ostida chirib ketgan, omborxonalar vayron bo‘lgan, xirmonxonalar buzilib tushgan, chunki don qurib qolgan. Hayvonlar naqadar ingraydi! Qoramol podalari sarosimada, chunki ularda yaylov yo‘q; ha, qo‘y suruvlari ham xarob qilingan.’ ‘Tok qurib qolgan, anjir daraxti so‘lib bormoqda; anor daraxti, shuningdek xurmo va olma daraxti, hatto daladagi barcha daraxtlar ham qurib qolgan, chunki inson bolalaridan shodlik qurib ketgan.’ Yoel 1:15–18, 12.”

> “‘I am pained at my very heart; … I cannot hold my peace, because thou has heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled.’ Jeremiah 4:19, 20.

> “‘Yuragimning tub-tubidan iztirobdaman; … sukut saqlay olmayman, chunki, ey jonim, sen karnay sadosini, jang vahimasini eshitding. Halokat ortidan halokat e’lon qilinmoqda; chunki butun yurt vayron qilingan.’ Yeremiyo 4:19, 20.”

> “‘I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down.’ Verses 23–26.

> “‘Men yerga qaradim, va mana, u shaklsiz va bo‘m-bo‘sh edi; osmonlarga ham qaradim, va ularda nur yo‘q edi. Men tog‘larga qaradim, va mana, ular titrar edi, barcha qirlar esa yengilgina silkinar edi. Men qaradim, va mana, birorta ham odam yo‘q edi, osmon qushlarining barchasi esa uchib ketgan edi. Men qaradim, va mana, serhosil joy sahroga aylangan edi, uning barcha shaharlari ham vayron qilingan edi.’ 23–26-oyatlar.”

> “‘“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7.

> “‘Voy! Chunki u kun buyukdir, unga o‘xshashi yo‘qdir: u Yoqubning musibat vaqtidir; ammo u undan xalos bo‘lur.’ Yeremiyo 30:7.

> “Not all in this world have taken sides with the enemy against God. Not all have become disloyal. There are a faithful few who are true to God; for John writes: ‘Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.’ Revelation 14:12. Soon the battle will be waged fiercely between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. Soon everything that can be shaken will be shaken, that those things that cannot be shaken may remain.

> “Bu dunyoda hamma ham dushman tomonini tutib, Xudoga qarshi chiqmagan. Hamma ham sadoqatsiz bo‘lib qolmagan. Xudoga sodiq bo‘lgan oz sonli sadoqatlilar bor; chunki Yuhanno shunday yozadi: ‘Bu yerda Xudoning amrlarini bajo keltiradiganlar va Iso imoniga ega bo‘lganlar bor.’ Vahiy 14:12. Yaqinda Xudoga xizmat qiladiganlar bilan Unga xizmat qilmaydiganlar o‘rtasida jang shiddat bilan olib boriladi. Yaqinda silkinishi mumkin bo‘lgan hamma narsa silkitiladi, toki silkinmaydigan narsalar qolib ketsin.”

> “Satan is a diligent Bible student. He knows that his time is short, and he seeks at every point to counterwork the work of the Lord upon this earth. It is impossible to give any idea of the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended. They will walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. By means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth. And Satan, surrounded by evil angels, and claiming to be God, will work miracles of all kinds, to deceive, if possible, the very elect. God’s people will not find their safety in working miracles, for Satan will counterfeit the miracles that will be wrought. God’s tried and tested people will find their power in the sign spoken of in Exodus 31:12–18. They are to take their stand on the living word: ‘It is written.’ This is the only foundation upon which they can stand securely. Those who have broken their covenant with God will in that day be without God and without hope.

> “Shayton Muqaddas Kitobni qunt bilan o‘rganuvchi bir talabadir. U o‘z vaqtining qisqa ekanini biladi va bu yer yuzida Rabbiy ishiga har bir nuqtada qarshi turishga intiladi. Samoviy ulug‘vorlik va o‘tmishdagi ta’qiblarning takrorlanishi bir-biriga qo‘shilib ketadigan paytda yer yuzida tirik bo‘ladigan Xudo xalqining tajribasi haqida to‘liq tasavvur berish imkonsizdir. Ular Xudoning taxtidan taralayotgan nurda yuradilar. Farishtalar vositasida osmon bilan yer o‘rtasida doimiy aloqa bo‘ladi. Va Shayton, yovuz farishtalar bilan o‘ralgan holda va o‘zini Xudo deb da’vo qilib, imkon bo‘lsa, hatto tanlanganlarning o‘zini ham aldash uchun har xil mo‘jizalar ko‘rsatadi. Xudoning xalqi o‘z xavfsizligini mo‘jizalar ko‘rsatishda topmaydi, chunki Shayton qilinadigan mo‘jizalarga taqlid qiladi. Xudoning sinalgan va sinovdan o‘tgan xalqi o‘z qudratini Chiqish 31:12–18 da aytilgan alomatda topadi. Ular o‘z mavqeini tirik Kalom ustiga qo‘yishlari kerak: ‘Yozilgandir.’ Bu ular mustahkam tura oladigan yagona poydevordir. Xudo bilan tuzgan ahdini buzganlar o‘sha kunda Xudosiz va umidsiz bo‘ladilar.

> “The worshipers of God will be especially distinguished by their regard for the fourth commandment, since this is the sign of God’s creative power and the witness to His claim upon man’s reverence and homage. The wicked will be distinguished by their efforts to tear down the Creator’s memorial and to exalt the institution of Rome. In the issue of the conflict all Christendom will be divided into two great classes, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and those who worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark. Although church and state will unite their power to compel all, ‘both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,’ to receive the mark of the beast, yet the people of God will not receive it. Revelation 13:16. The prophet of Patmos beholds ‘them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God,’ and singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Revelation 15:2.

> “Xudoga sajda qiluvchilar, ayniqsa, to‘rtinchi amrga bo‘lgan e’tiborlari bilan ajralib turadilar, chunki bu amr Xudoning yaratuvchi qudratining belgisi va Uning insonning ehtiromi hamda ta’zimiga bo‘lgan haqqining guvohidir. Fosiqlar esa Yaratganning yodgorligini qulatishga va Rimning muassasasini ulug‘lashga qaratilgan sa’y-harakatlari bilan ajralib turadilar. Mojaro hal qilinadigan pallada butun xristian olami ikki katta toifaga bo‘linadi: Xudoning amrlarini va Isoning imonini tutadiganlar hamda maxluqqa va uning suratiga sajda qilib, uning tamg‘asini qabul qiladiganlar. Cherkov bilan davlat barcha kishilarni, “kichikni ham, kattani ham, boyni ham, kambag‘alni ham, ozodni ham, qulni ham”, maxluqning tamg‘asini qabul qilishga majbur etish uchun o‘z qudratini birlashtirsa-da, Xudoning xalqi uni qabul qilmaydi. Vahiy 13:16. Patmos payg‘ambari “maxluq, uning surati, uning tamg‘asi va uning ismining soni ustidan g‘alaba qozonganlarni, Xudoning arfalari bilan shisha dengiz ustida turgan” holda ko‘radi va ular Muso hamda Qo‘zining qo‘shig‘ini kuylaydilar. Vahiy 15:2.”

> “Fearful tests and trials await the people of God. The spirit of war is stirring the nations from one end of the earth to the other. But in the midst of the time of trouble that is coming,—a time of trouble such as has not been since there was a nation,—God’s chosen people will stand unmoved. Satan and his host cannot destroy them, for angels that excel in strength will protect them.” Testimonies, volume 9, 11–17.

> “Dahshatli sinovlar va mashaqqatlar Xudoning xalqini kutmoqda. Urush ruhi yerning bir chetidan ikkinchi chetigacha bo‘lgan xalqlarni qo‘zg‘atmoqda. Ammo kelayotgan qayg‘uli davrning o‘rtasida,—ya’ni xalqlar mavjud bo‘lganidan beri bo‘lmagan darajadagi qayg‘uli davrda,—Xudoning tanlangan xalqi sarsilmay turadi. Shayton va uning lashkari ularni yo‘q qila olmaydi, chunki qudratda yuksak farishtalar ularni himoya qiladilar.” Testimonies, 9-jild, 11–17.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are “God’s tried and tested people” His “chosen people” “will stand unmoved” when “the persecutions of the past” are repeated. The light they will “walk in” is the light of the message of the seventh seal, which is the midnight cry, which is the light identifying the formation of the image of the beast.

“Xudoning sinovdan o‘tgan xalqi”, Uning “tanlangan xalqi” bo‘lgan bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishi “o‘tmishdagi ta’qiblar” takrorlanganda “qimirlamay turadilar”. Ular “unda yuradigan” nur — bu yettinchi muhr xabarining nuridir; u yarim tun hayqirig‘idir va mahluqning suratining shakllanishini aniqlab beruvchi nurdir.
