We will now consider the history that took place in the aftermath of Alexander the Great’s sudden death, which represents the year 538 unto the time of the end in 1798.

Endi biz Buyuk Iskandarning to‘satdan vafotidan keyin yuz bergan tarixni ko‘rib chiqamiz; bu tarix 538-yildan 1798-yildagi oxir zamongacha bo‘lgan davrni ifodalaydi.

> And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those. And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times. But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land. Daniel 11:4–9.

> Va u turganida, uning shohligi parchalanadi va osmonning to‘rt shamoli tomonga bo‘linadi; ammo uning zurriyotiga emas, na u hukmronlik qilgan saltanatiga ko‘ra bo‘ladi; chunki uning shohligi yulib olinib, o‘shalardan boshqa kishilarga beriladi. Janub shohi qudratli bo‘ladi, shuningdek uning amirlaridan biri ham; u undan ham qudratli bo‘lib, hukmronlik qiladi; uning hukmronligi buyuk hukmronlik bo‘ladi. Yillar oxirida esa ular o‘zaro ittifoq tuzadilar; chunki janub shohining qizi kelishuv tuzish uchun shimol shohining oldiga keladi; ammo u o‘z qo‘lining qudratini saqlab qola olmaydi; na u, na uning qo‘li bardavom bo‘ladi; balki u ham, uni olib kelganlar ham, uni tug‘gan hamda o‘sha davrlarda uni quvvatlagan ham topshirib qo‘yiladi. Ammo uning ildizlaridan bo‘lgan bir novda uning o‘rnida turib chiqadi; u lashkar bilan kelib, shimol shohining qal’asiga kiradi, ularga qarshi ish tutadi va g‘olib chiqadi. U ularning xudolarini, hukmdorlarini, kumush va oltindan bo‘lgan qimmatbaho idishlarini ham asir qilib Misrga olib ketadi; va u shimol shohidan ko‘proq yillar turadi. Shunday qilib janub shohi uning shohligiga kiradi va o‘z yurtiga qaytadi. Doniyor 11:4–9.

Eventually, after Alexander the Great’s kingdom was broken, those who struggled for control of the former kingdom devolved into two primary kingdoms. The one kingdom controlling the south of Alexander’s former empire and the other controlling the north. From that point on in the prophetic narrative they are identified simply as the king of the south and the king of the north. Once the struggle for world dominance has reached the point where it is only portrayed between the king of the north and the south, the symbols of those two kingdoms continue through the entire chapter.

Oxir-oqibat, Iskandar Zulqarnaynning shohligi parchalanganidan keyin, uning sobiq shohligi ustidan hokimiyat uchun kurashganlar ikkita asosiy shohlikka ajralib ketdilar. Ulardan biri Iskandarning sobiq imperiyasining janubini, boshqasi esa shimolini nazorat qilar edi. Shu nuqtadan boshlab, bashoratli rivoyatda ular shunchaki janub podshohi va shimol podshohi sifatida tanitiladi. Dunyo hukmronligi uchun kurash faqat shimol podshohi bilan janub podshohi o‘rtasida tasvirlanadigan darajaga yetgach, bu ikki shohlikning ramzlari butun bob davomida saqlanib qoladi.

In verse five, the king of the south is established, and he is strong, but the king of the north is also strong and his kingdom is larger. Then in verse six, the king of the south proposes an alliance with the northern kingdom. The peace treaty is secured by the king of the south giving his daughter to the king of the north, so the king of the north could marry her and ratify their alliance with a family bond. The king of the north agreed, and set aside his wife, and married the princess from the south, and the alliance was initiated.

Beshinchi oyatda janub podshohi mustahkamlanadi va u qudratlidir, ammo shimol podshohi ham qudratlidir va uning shohligi kattaroqdir. So‘ng oltinchi oyatda janub podshohi shimoliy shohlik bilan ittifoq tuzishni taklif qiladi. Tinchlik ahdi janub podshohining o‘z qizini shimol podshohiga berishi orqali mustahkamlanadi, shunda shimol podshohi unga uylanib, ularning ittifoqini oilaviy rishta bilan tasdiqlashi mumkin edi. Shimol podshohi bunga rozi bo‘ldi, o‘z xotinini chetga surdi va janubdan kelgan malika bilan turmush qurdi, va ittifoq yo‘lga qo‘yildi.

Eventually the southern princess bears a male-child, but ultimately the northern king grew tired of his new wife, and set her aside, as he had done with his first wife, and takes his first wife back, but as soon as the original wife is restored, and has opportunity, she kills the king of the north, his southern bride, her child, and her entire Egyptian entourage. The act of the original wife murdering the southern princess and her child enrages the southern princesses family, and one of her brothers raises up an army and attacks the northern kingdom.

Oxir-oqibat janubiy malika bir o‘g‘il farzandni dunyoga keltiradi, biroq nihoyat shimoliy podsho o‘zining yangi xotinidan charchab, birinchi xotiniga qilganidek uni ham chetga suradi va birinchi xotinini yana qaytarib oladi. Ammo asl xotin qayta tiklanib, imkon topishi bilanoq, u shimol podshosini, uning janubiy kelinini, uning farzandini va butun misrlik hamrohlar guruhini o‘ldiradi. Asl xotinning janubiy malikani va uning farzandini o‘ldirishi janubiy malikaning oilasini g‘azabga soladi, va uning aka-ukalaridan biri qo‘shin ko‘tarib, shimoliy saltanatga hujum qiladi.

The southern army prevails over the northern king, and the first wife that murdered the northern king, his southern bride and child is then executed. The original wife’s son, who had been installed as the ruling king of the north at the death of his father, is captured and carried back to Egypt by the southern king, along with some Egyptian artifacts and idols that had been taken from the southern kingdom by the northern kingdom in earlier battles. Once in Egypt the captured northern king falls from a horse and dies. Uriah Smith identifies the history as follows.

Janubiy lashkar shimoliy podshoh ustidan g‘alaba qozonadi, so‘ngra shimoliy podshohni o‘ldirgan birinchi xotin, uning janubdan bo‘lgan kelini va farzandi qatl etiladi. Asl xotinning o‘g‘li, otasining vafoti chog‘ida shimolning hukmron podshohi etib tayinlangan bo‘lsa-da, janubiy podshoh tomonidan asir olinib, ilgari bo‘lgan janglarda shimoliy saltanat janubiy saltanatdan olib ketgan ayrim Misr buyumlari va butlari bilan birga Misrga qaytarib olib ketiladi. Misrga yetib borgach, asir olingan shimoliy podshoh otdan yiqilib, vafot etadi. Uriya Smit bu tarixni quyidagicha bayon qiladi.

> “‘VERSE 6. And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.’

> “‘6-OYAT. Va yillar oxirida ular o‘zaro qo‘shilurlar; chunki janub shohining qizi kelishuv tuzish uchun shimol shohining huzuriga kelur; ammo u qo‘lning qudratini saqlab qola olmas; na u, na uning qo‘li mustahkam tura olur; balki u ham, uni olib kelganlar ham, uni tug‘gan ham, va o‘sha zamonlarda uni quvvatlantirgan ham topshirib berilur.’”

> “There were frequent wars between the kings of Egypt and Syria. Especially was this the case with Ptolemy Philadelphus, the second king of Egypt, and Antiochus Theos, third king of Syria. They at length agreed to make peace upon condition that Antiochus Theos should put away his former wife, Laodice, and her two sons, and should marry Berenice, the daughter of Ptolemy Philadelphus. Ptolemy accordingly brought his daughter to Antiochus, bestowing with her an immense dowry.

> “Misr va Suriya podshohlari o‘rtasida tez-tez urushlar bo‘lib turardi. Bu, ayniqsa, Misrning ikkinchi podshohi Ptolemey Filadelf va Suriyaning uchinchi podshohi Antiox Feos davrida shunday edi. Ular oxir-oqibat shartli ravishda sulh tuzishga kelishdilar: Antiox Feos avvalgi xotini Laodikeni va undan bo‘lgan ikki o‘g‘lini chetlatib, Ptolemey Filadelfning qizi Berenikaga uylanishi lozim edi. Shunga muvofiq, Ptolemey qizini ulkan sep bilan Antiox huzuriga olib keldi.”

> “‘But she shall not retain the power of the arm;’ that is, her interest and power with Antiochus. And so it proved; for some time shortly after, in a fit of love, Antiochus brought back his former wife, Laodice, and her children, to court again. Then says the prophecy, ‘Neither shall he [Antiochus] stand, nor his arm,’ or seed. Laodice, being restored to favor and power, feared lest, in the fickleness of his temper, Antiochus should again disgrace her, and recall Berenice; and conceiving that nothing short of his death would be an effectual safeguard against such a contingency, she caused him to be poisoned shortly after. Neither did his seed by Berenice succeed him in the kingdom; for Laodice so managed affairs as to secure the throne for her eldest son, Seleucus Callinicus.

> “‘Lekin u qo‘lning qudratini saqlab qololmaydi;’ ya’ni, uning Antiox bilan bo‘lgan nufuzi va qudratini. Va haqiqatan ham shunday bo‘ldi; oradan ko‘p o‘tmay, muhabbat jo‘shgan bir lahzada Antiox o‘zining avvalgi xotini Laodikeni va uning farzandlarini yana saroyga qaytarib keldi. So‘ng bashorat shunday deydi: ‘Na u [Antiox] turib qoladi, na uning qo‘li,’ yoki zurriyoti. Laodike, yana iltifot va hokimiyatga tiklanganidan keyin, Antiox o‘z fe’l-atvorining beqarorligida uni yana sharmanda qilib, Berenikani qayta chaqirib qolishidan qo‘rqdi; va bunday holatga qarshi ta’sirchan bir kafolat faqat uning o‘limigina bo‘lishini o‘ylab, ko‘p o‘tmay uni zaharlatdi. Shuningdek, uning Berenikadan bo‘lgan zurriyoti ham saltanatda uning o‘rnini egallamadi; chunki Laodike ishlarni shunday boshqardiki, taxtni o‘zining to‘ng‘ich o‘g‘li Selevk Kallinik uchun ta’minladi.”

> “But such wickedness could not long remain unpunished, as the prophecy further predicts, and further history proves.

> “Biroq bunday yovuzlik, bashorat bundan keyin ham oldindan aytganidek va keyingi tarix tasdiqlaganidek, uzoq vaqt jazosiz qolishi mumkin emas edi.

> “‘VERSE 7. But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: 8. And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. 9. So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.’

> “‘7-OYAT. Ammo uning ildizlaridan chiqqan bir novdadan biri uning o‘rnida turib qolur; u lashkar bilan kelib, shimol podshohining qal’asiga kirur, ularga qarshi ish tutib, g‘olib kelur. 8. Shuningdek, u ularning xudolarini, beklarini hamda kumush va oltindan bo‘lgan qimmatbaho idishlarini asir qilib Misrga olib ketur; va u shimol podshohidan ko‘proq yillar turur. 9. So‘ng janub podshohi o‘z shohligiga kirib, o‘z yurtiga qaytur.’”

> “This branch out of the same root with Berenice was her brother, Ptolemy Euergetes. He had no sooner succeeded his father, Ptolemy Philadelphus, in the kingdom of Egypt, than, burning to avenge the death of his sister, Berenice, he raised an immense army, and invaded the territory of the king of the north, that is, of Seleucus Callinicus, who, with his mother, Laodice, reigned in Syria. And he prevailed against them, even to the conquering of Syria, Cilicia, the upper parts beyond the Euphrates, and almost all Asia. But hearing that a sedition was raised in Egypt requiring his return home, he plundered the kingdom of Seleucus, took forty thousand talents of silver and precious vessels, and two thousand five hundred images of the gods. Among these were the images which Cambyses had formerly taken from Egypt and carried into Persia. The Egyptians, being wholly given to idolatry, bestowed upon Ptolemy the title of Euergetes, or the Benefactor, as a compliment for his having thus, after many years, restored their captive gods.

> Berenika bilan bir ildizdan chiqqan bu novda uning ukasi Ptolemey Euergetes edi. U Misr podshohligida otasi Ptolemey Filadelfusning o‘rniga o‘tirishi bilanoq, singlisi Berenikaning o‘limi uchun qasos olish ishtiyoqida yonib, ulkan bir qo‘shin to‘pladi va shimol podshohining, ya’ni onasi Laodike bilan Suriyada hukmronlik qilgan Seleuk Kallinikning hududiga bostirib kirdi. Va u ularga qarshi ustun keldi, hatto Suriya, Kilikia, Furotdan narigi yuqori o‘lkalar va deyarli butun Osiyoni zabt etishgacha bordi. Ammo Misrda uning uyiga qaytishini talab qiluvchi bir isyon ko‘tarilgani xabarini eshitib, u Seleuk podshohligini talon-taroj qildi hamda qirq ming talant kumushni, qimmatbaho idishlarni va xudolarning ikki ming besh yuzta tasvirini olib ketdi. Bular orasida ilgari Kambiz Misrdan olib, Forsga olib ketgan tasvirlar ham bor edi. Butparastlikka butunlay berilgan misrliklar, Ptolemeyga ko‘p yillardan keyin ularning asir tushgan xudolarini shu tariqa qaytarib bergani uchun iltifot yuzasidan Euergetes, ya’ni Xayrxoh, degan unvonni berdilar.

> “This, according to Bishop Newton, is Jerome’s account, extracted from ancient historians, but there are authors still extant, he says, who confirm several of the same particulars. Appian informs us that Laodice having killed Antiochus, and after him both Berenice and her child, Ptolemy, the son of Philadelphus, to revenge those murders, invaded Syria, slew Laodice, and proceeded as far as Babylon. From Polybius we learn that Ptolemy, surnamed Euergetes, being greatly incensed at the cruel treatment of his sister, Berenice, marched with an army into Syria, and took the city of Seleucia, which was kept for some years afterward by garrisons of the kings of Egypt. Thus did he enter into the fortress of the king of the north. Polyaenus affirms that Ptolemy made himself master of all the country from Mount Taurus as far as to India, without war or battle; but he ascribes it by mistake to the father instead of the son. Justin asserts that if Ptolemy had not been recalled into Egypt by a domestic sedition, he would have possessed the whole kingdom of Seleucus. The king of the south thus came into the dominion of the king of the north, and returned to his own land, as the prophet had foretold. And he also continued more years than the king of the north; for Seleucus Callinicus died in exile, of a fall from his horse; and Ptolemy Euergetes survived him for four or five years.” Uriah Smith, Daniel and the Revelation, 250–252.

> “Bu, Bishop Newtonning so‘zlariga ko‘ra, Ieromning qadimgi tarixchilardan olinib tuzilgan bayonidir; ammo, uning aytishicha, hanuzgacha mavjud bo‘lgan shunday mualliflar ham borki, ular ayni tafsilotlarning bir nechtasini tasdiqlaydilar. Appian bizga shuni ma’lum qiladiki, Laodice Antiochusni, undan keyin esa Bereniceni ham, uning bolasini ham o‘ldirgach, bu qotilliklardan qasos olish uchun Filadelfning o‘g‘li Ptolemey Suriyaga bostirib kirib, Laodiceni o‘ldirdi va Bobilgacha ilgarilab bordi. Polibiydan biz shuni bilamizki, Euergetes laqabli Ptolemey singlisi Berenicega qilingan shafqatsiz muomaladan nihoyatda g‘azablanib, qo‘shin bilan Suriyaga yurish qildi va Misr shohlarining garnizonlari tomonidan keyingi bir necha yil davomida saqlab turilgan Seleucia shahrini egalladi. Shu tariqa u shimol shohining qal’asiga kirdi. Polyaenusning tasdiqlashicha, Ptolemey Taurus tog‘idan tortib Hindistongacha bo‘lgan butun mamlakat ustidan urushsiz va jangsiz hukmronlikni qo‘lga oldi; biroq u buni yanglishib o‘g‘il o‘rniga otaga nisbat beradi. Justinning ta’kidlashicha, agar Ptolemey Misrga ichki isyon tufayli qaytarib chaqirilmaganida, u Seleucusning butun shohligini egallagan bo‘lur edi. Shu tariqa janub shohi shimol shohining hukmronligi ichiga kirdi va payg‘ambar oldindan aytganidek, o‘z yurtiga qaytdi. Va u shimol shohidan ham ko‘proq yil yashadi; chunki Seleucus Callinicus surgunda, otidan yiqilish oqibatida vafot etdi; Ptolemey Euergetes esa undan to‘rt yoki besh yil ko‘proq yashadi.” Uriah Smith, Daniel and the Revelation, 250–252.

A prophetic characteristic of Rome, and therefore the king of the north, is that in order to be established upon the throne, three geographical obstacles must be conquered. The first king of the north in the aftermath of Alexander’s broken kingdom was established by Seleucus Nicator who had served as a general to Ptolemy (the king of the south) for a little while between 316 and 312 BC. Verse five addresses this fact when it states, “And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him.” Ptolemy was the king of the south, and he had a general (one of his princes), that was destined to become stronger than Ptolemy, and the final phrase of verse five says, “and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.” Ptolemy’s general Seleucus was to become the first king of the north. But for Seleucus to become the king of the north, he would need to separate from the southern king, and thereafter conquer three geographical areas.

Rimning, demakki, shimol shohining bashoratiy xususiyatlaridan biri shundaki, taxt ustida qaror topishi uchun uchta geografik to‘siq zabt etilishi lozim. Aleksandrning parchalangan shohligidan keyingi davrda birinchi shimol shohi miloddan avvalgi 316 va 312-yillar oralig‘ida qisqa muddat Ptolemeyga (janub shohiga) sarkarda bo‘lib xizmat qilgan Selevk Nikator orqali qaror topdi. Beshinchi oyat bu haqiqatni shunday deganda bayon etadi: “And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him.” Ptolemey janub shohi edi, va uning bir sarkardasi (uning shahzodalaridan biri) bor edi; u Ptolemeydan ham qudratliroq bo‘lish uchun belgilangan edi, va beshinchi oyatning yakuniy iborasi shunday deydi: “and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.” Ptolemeyning sarkardasi Selevk shimolning birinchi shohi bo‘lishi kerak edi. Ammo Selevkning shimol shohi bo‘lishi uchun u janubiy shohdan ajralishi, va shundan keyin uchta geografik hududni zabt etishi kerak edi.

The first area conquered by Seleucus was the East in 301 BC. He then conquered the West (that had been held by Cassander’s successor) in 286 BC, and he then took his third territory in the North when he conquered Lysimachus in 281 BC. The king of the north was established on the throne in 281 BC.

Seleuk tomonidan zabt etilgan birinchi hudud miloddan avvalgi 301-yilda Sharq edi. So‘ngra u miloddan avvalgi 286-yilda G‘arbni (u Kassandrning vorisi qo‘lida bo‘lgan edi) zabt etdi, undan keyin esa miloddan avvalgi 281-yilda Lisimaxni mag‘lub etib, Shimoldagi uchinchi hududini qo‘lga kiritdi. Shimol shohi miloddan avvalgi 281-yilda taxtga o‘rnatildi.

The peace treaty that was later formed with the southern king occurred in 252 BC. Six years later in 246 BC, Berenice (the southern princess), her son, and all her entourage were put to death. The southern king thereafter captured Laodice’s son, Seleucus Callinicus and took him back with him to Egypt, where he died falling from a horse. The reign of the first king of the north was from 281 BC until 246 BC, which equates to thirty-five years.

Keyinchalik janubiy podshoh bilan tuzilgan tinchlik shartnomasi miloddan avvalgi 252-yilda yuz berdi. Olti yil o‘tib, miloddan avvalgi 246-yilda Berenika (janubiy malika), uning o‘g‘li va butun a’yonlari qatl etildi. Shundan so‘ng janubiy podshoh Laodikaning o‘g‘li Selevk Kallinikni asir olib, uni o‘zi bilan Misrga qaytarib ketdi; u yerda u otdan yiqilib halok bo‘ldi. Shimolning birinchi podshohining hukmronlik davri miloddan avvalgi 281-yildan miloddan avvalgi 246-yilgacha davom etgan bo‘lib, bu o‘ttiz besh yilga tengdir.

The first king of the north in chapter eleven, conquered three geographical obstacles in order to be established upon the throne. Pagan Rome also conquered three geographical obstacles in order to be established upon the throne [See Daniel 8:9], and Papal Rome conquered three geographical obstacles in order to be established upon the throne [See Daniel 7:20]. Modern Rome also conquers three geographical obstacles in order to be established upon the throne [See Daniel 11:40–43].

O‘n birinchi bobdagi shimolning birinchi shohi taxtga mustahkam o‘rnashish uchun uchta geografik to‘siqni zabt etdi. Butparast Rim ham taxtga mustahkam o‘rnashish uchun uchta geografik to‘siqni zabt etdi [qarang: Doniyor 8:9], va Papalik Rimi ham taxtga mustahkam o‘rnashish uchun uchta geografik to‘siqni zabt etdi [qarang: Doniyor 7:20]. Zamonaviy Rim ham taxtga mustahkam o‘rnashish uchun uchta geografik to‘siqni zabt etadi [qarang: Doniyor 11:40–43].

Once established upon the throne, the first king of the north ruled for thirty-five years. Once established upon the throne, pagan Rome ruled for a “time” (three hundred and sixty years). Once established upon the throne, papal Rome ruled for “a time, times and dividing of time” (twelve hundred and sixty years.) Once established upon the throne, modern Rome will rule for a symbolic forty-two months (also noted as “an hour”).

Taxtga o‘rnashgach, shimolning birinchi shohi o‘ttiz besh yil hukmronlik qildi. Taxtga o‘rnashgach, butparast Rim “bir vaqt” (uch yuz oltmish yil) davomida hukmronlik qildi. Taxtga o‘rnashgach, papalik Rimi “bir vaqt, vaqtlar va vaqtning yarmi” (bir ming ikki yuz oltmish yil) davomida hukmronlik qildi. Taxtga o‘rnashgach, zamonaviy Rim ramziy qirq ikki oy (shuningdek, “bir soat” deb ham qayd etilgan) davomida hukmronlik qiladi.

Sister White informs us that “much of the history recorded in Daniel chapter eleven is to be repeated.” She then quotes verses thirty-one through thirty-six, and says, “scenes similar to those described in these words will take place.” In those verses papal Rome (the abomination that maketh desolate), is “placed” upon the throne in 538, and then it persecutes God’s people for “many days” (twelve hundred and sixty years), until the first “indignation is accomplished” in 1798. The history of verses thirty-one to thirty-six is repeated in the last six verses of chapter eleven, but the history was also perfectly typified in verses five through nine.

Opa Uayt bizga Daniel kitobining o‘n birinchi bobida qayd etilgan tarixning “katta qismi takrorlanishi kerak”ligini ma’lum qiladi. So‘ng u o‘ttiz birinchi oyatdan o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatgacha iqtibos keltiradi va shunday deydi: “bu so‘zlarda tasvirlanganiga o‘xshash voqealar sodir bo‘ladi.” O‘sha oyatlarda papalik Rim (vayron qiluvchi jirkanchlik) 538-yilda taxtga “o‘tqaziladi”, so‘ngra u birinchi “g‘azab” 1798-yilda nihoyasiga yetguniga qadar, “ko‘p kunlar” (bir ming ikki yuz oltmish yil) davomida Xudoning xalqini quvg‘in qiladi. O‘ttiz birinchi oyatdan o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatgacha bo‘lgan tarix o‘n birinchi bobning oxirgi olti oyatida takrorlanadi, biroq bu tarix beshinchi oyatdan to‘qqizinchi oyatgacha ham mutlaqo mukammal tarzda timsollangan edi.

The establishment of Seleucus as king of the north in 281 BC, aligns with the year 538. Both represent the enthronement of the king of the north at the conclusion of the conquering of three geographical obstacles. The period of papal rule is expressed in several ways; twelve hundred and sixty days, forty-two months, time, times and dividing of time, a space, and three and a half years. Seleucus’ rule was for thirty-five years, and a tenth, or a tithe, of thirty-five, is three and a half. A tenth of thirty-five years is also expressed as “three-point-five” (3.5) years. “Three and a half” is a symbol of the period of papal rule.

Miloddan avvalgi 281-yilda Salavkning shimol podshohi sifatida o‘rnatilishi 538-yilga muvofiq keladi. Har ikkalasi ham uchta geografik to‘siqni zabt etish yakunida shimol podshohining taxtga o‘tqazilishini ifodalaydi. Papalik hukmronligi davri bir necha tarzda ifodalanadi: bir ming ikki yuz oltmish kun, qirq ikki oy, bir vaqt, vaqtlar va vaqtning yarmi, bir muddat va uch yarim yil. Salavkning hukmronligi o‘ttiz besh yil davom etdi, va o‘ttiz beshning o‘ndan biri, ya’ni ushr, uch yarimdir. O‘ttiz besh yilning o‘ndan biri “uch nuqta besh” (3.5) yil tarzida ham ifodalanadi. “Uch yarim” papalik hukmronligi davrining ramzidir.

The papacy received its deadly wound in 1798 when the king of the south, Napoleon Bonaparte (meaning the “fortunate son”), sent his general to take the pope captive. A year later in 1799 the pope died in exile, as did the first king of the north who had also been taken into captivity by the king of the south. Seleucus Callinicus died by falling off a horse while captive in Egypt. The pope is the one who rode upon the beast. The beast represented the political system that the pope employed to accomplish his satanic works. That beast was slain in 1798, and the pope who had ridden upon and reigned over the beast died a year later. Seleucus Callinicus died falling off a horse (the beast he rode upon.) The captivity of the papacy in 1798 and 1799, was perfectly typified by the captivity of the first king of the north.

Papalik 1798-yilda oʻzining halokatli yarasini oldi; oʻsha vaqtda janub shohi Napoleon Bonapart (“baxtli oʻgʻil” maʼnosini anglatadi) oʻz generalini papani asir olish uchun yubordi. Oradan bir yil oʻtib, 1799-yilda papa surgunda vafot etdi; xuddi janub shohi tomonidan asirlikka olingan shimolning birinchi shohi ham shunday qilgan edi. Selevk Kallinik Misrda asirlikda boʻlgan paytida otdan yiqilib halok boʻldi. Papa hayvon ustiga mingan shaxsdir. Bu hayvon papaning oʻz shaytoniy ishlarini amalga oshirish uchun foydalangan siyosiy tizimini ifodalar edi. Oʻsha hayvon 1798-yilda oʻldirildi, hayvon ustiga minib, uning ustidan hukmronlik qilgan papa esa bir yil oʻtib vafot etdi. Selevk Kallinik otdan (oʻzi mingan hayvondan) yiqilib halok boʻldi. Papalikning 1798 va 1799-yillardagi asirligi shimolning birinchi shohining asirligi orqali mutlaqo mukammal tarzda timsollashtirilgan edi.

What brought the wrath of the king of the south upon the northern king was a broken peace treaty, represented by the setting aside of Berenice (the southern bride) and her subsequent death at the hands of Laodice. Napoleon had entered into a peace treaty between Revolutionary France and the papal states in 1797. The treaty was named after the town of Tolentino in Ancona, Italy, where the treaty had been signed. It officially ended in February, 1798 when France took the pope captive. The reason why the treaty was disannulled was France’s effort to spread its Revolution.

Janub shohining g‘azabini shimol shohiga qarshi qo‘zg‘atgan narsa Berenikaning (janubiy kelin) chetga surib qo‘yilishi va keyinchalik Laodike qo‘lida halok bo‘lishi bilan ifodalangan buzilgan tinchlik shartnomasi edi. Napoleon 1797-yilda Inqilobiy Fransiya bilan papa davlatlari o‘rtasida tinchlik shartnomasini tuzgan edi. Bu shartnoma Italiya, Ankona viloyatidagi Tolentino shahri nomi bilan atalgan, chunki shartnoma o‘sha yerda imzolangan edi. U rasman 1798-yil fevralida, Fransiya papani asirga olganida, nihoyasiga yetdi. Shartnomaning bekor qilinishiga sabab Fransiyaning o‘z Inqilobini yoyishga bo‘lgan sa’y-harakati edi.

Napoleon’s General Duphot, was in Rome in 1797 as part of the French expeditionary force sent by the Directory, the ruling government of France at the time. The purpose of the French expedition to Italy, which included General Duphot’s presence in Rome, was to support the Roman Republic, a short-lived client state established by French revolutionary forces in the Italian Peninsula. The French were actively involved in supporting revolutionary movements and spreading revolutionary ideals across Europe during this period. In Italy, they sought to overthrow monarchies and establish republics modeled after the French Republic.

Napoleonning generali Dyufo 1797-yilda o‘sha davrda Fransiyaning hukmron hukumati bo‘lgan Direktoriyaning yuborgan fransuz ekspeditsion kuchlari tarkibida Rimda edi. General Dyufo’ning Rimdagi ishtirokini ham o‘z ichiga olgan Fransiyaning Italiyaga ekspeditsiyasidan maqsad Italiya yarimorolida fransuz inqilobiy kuchlari tomonidan barpo etilgan, qisqa umr ko‘rgan qaram davlat bo‘lmish Rim Respublikasini qo‘llab-quvvatlash edi. Fransuzlar bu davrda butun Yevropa bo‘ylab inqilobiy harakatlarni qo‘llab-quvvatlash va inqilobiy g‘oyalarni yoyishda faol ishtirok etayotgan edilar. Italiyada ular monarxiyalarni ag‘darib tashlash va Fransuz Respublikasi andozasida respublikalar barpo etishga intildilar.

Duphot’s presence and actions in Rome provoked opposition from conservative factions, including supporters of the Papal States and local aristocrats. In December, 1797, during a confrontation between French troops and supporters of the Papal States, General Duphot was assassinated, and thus the pretense for Napoleon to send General Berthier to take the pope captive the next year was established. A broken peace treaty between the kings of the south and north provided the motivation in both histories for the king of the north being taken captive by the king of the south.

Dyufoning Rimdagi mavjudligi va harakatlari konservativ guruhlar, jumladan, Papa Davlatlari tarafdorlari hamda mahalliy aristokratlar qarshiligiga sabab bo‘ldi. 1797-yil dekabr oyida fransuz qo‘shinlari bilan Papa Davlatlari tarafdorlari o‘rtasidagi to‘qnashuv chog‘ida general Dyufon suiqasd natijasida o‘ldirildi va shu tariqa keyingi yili Napoleon general Bertyeni papani asir olish uchun yuborishiga bahona yaratildi. Janub va shimol shohlari o‘rtasidagi buzilgan tinchlik shartnomasi har ikkala tarixda ham shimol shohining janub shohi tomonidan asir olinishi uchun turtki bo‘lib xizmat qildi.

Verse eight says, “shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold.” When Ptolemy returned to Egypt in fulfillment of this verse, the Egyptians gave him the title of “Euergetes” (the Benefactor), as a compliment for his work in returning their idols and artifacts that had previously taken from them by the king of the north. In 1798, the plundering of Rome by the French took place. On one day alone the historians record that five hundred horse-drawn vehicles, under a strong military guard, was seen leaving the city.

Sakkizinchi oyatda shunday deyiladi: “ularning xudolarini, shahzodalari bilan birga, kumush va oltindan bo‘lgan qimmatbaho idishlari bilan Misrga asir qilib olib ketadi.” Ptolemey ushbu oyatning bajo bo‘lishi sifatida Misrga qaytganida, misrliklar unga “Evergetes” (Xayriyotkor) unvonini berdilar; bu, shimol podshohi ilgari ulardan olib ketgan butlari va yodgorlik buyumlarini qaytarish yo‘lidagi xizmati uchun unga bildirilgan ehtirom edi. 1798-yilda fransuzlar tomonidan Rimning talon-toroj qilinishi yuz berdi. Tarixchilar qayd etishlaricha, faqat bir kunning o‘zida kuchli harbiy qo‘riq ostida ot qo‘shilgan besh yuzta arava shahardan chiqib ketayotgani ko‘rilgan.

The procession contained an immense number of antique sculptures and Renaissance paintings that France was appropriating in accordance with the broken peace treaty of Tolentino. Those artworks included the Laocoon group, the Belvedere Apollo, the Dying Gaul, Cupid and Psyche, Ariadne on Naxos, the Medici Venus, and the colossal figures of the Tiber and the Nile; tapestries and paintings by Raphael, including the Transfiguration, the Madonna di Foligno, the Madonna della Sedia, Titian’s Santa Conversazione; and many other works. It was not till several years after that, these stolen treasures were exhibited in the Musee Napoleonian in the Louvre, which was opened in 1807. As Ptolemy was celebrated for returning the Egyptians treasures, the treasures carried from Rome were placed in the portion of the museum named after Napoleon.

Yurishda Fransiya Tolentino sulh shartnomasining buzilganiga muvofiq o‘zlashtirayotgan nihoyatda ko‘p sonli qadimiy haykallar va Uyg‘onish davri kartinalari bor edi. Bu san’at asarlari qatoriga Laokoon guruhi, Belveder Apolloni, O‘layotgan Gall, Kupid va Psixeya, Naksosdagi Ariadna, Medichi Venerasi hamda Tibr va Nilning ulkan haykallari; Rafaelning gobelenlari va kartinalari, jumladan Transfiguratsiya, Madonna di Foligno, Madonna della Sedia, Titsianning Santa Conversazione asari; va boshqa ko‘plab asarlar kirardi. Oradan bir necha yil o‘tgachgina, bu o‘g‘irlangan xazinalar 1807 yilda ochilgan Luvrdagi Napoleon muzeyida namoyish etildi. Ptolemey misrliklarning xazinalarini qaytargani uchun ulug‘langani kabi, Rimdan olib ketilgan xazinalar ham muzeyning Napoleon nomi bilan atalgan qismiga joylashtirildi.

Verses five through nine, are a perfect parallel to the history beginning in the year 538 and ending in 1798 and 1799. They align with verses thirty-one to thirty-six, which is represented in the last six verses of the chapter, which describe the final empowerment of modern Rome as it conquers three obstacles, and ultimately comes to its end with none to help. Verse ten then addresses the history of 1989.

Beshinchi oyatdan to‘qqizinchi oyatgacha bo‘lgan oyatlar 538-yilda boshlanib, 1798 va 1799-yillarda yakun topgan tarixga mutlaqo mukammal paralleldir. Ular bobning so‘nggi olti oyatida ifodalangan, zamonaviy Rimning uchta to‘siqni yengib o‘tib, nihoyat unga yordam beruvchi hech kim bo‘lmagan holda o‘z nihoyasiga yetishini tasvirlaydigan o‘ttiz birinchi oyatdan o‘ttiz oltinchi oyatgacha bo‘lgan oyatlarga mos keladi. So‘ngra o‘ninchi oyat 1989-yil tarixiga murojaat qiladi.

> But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress. Daniel 11:10.

> Lekin uning o‘g‘illari g‘azabga kelib, ko‘p sonli buyuk lashkarlarni to‘playdilar; ulardan biri albatta kelib, toshib o‘tadi va o‘tib ketadi; so‘ng u qaytib kelib, hatto o‘z qal’asigacha yana g‘azabga keladi. Daniel 11:10.

The historical fulfillment of verse ten typifies 1989, when the papacy, in secret alliance with Ronald Reagan, “overflowed” and “passed through” the Soviet Union, leaving only its fortress (Russia), as the Soviet Union (USSR) dissolved in the wake of Perestroika.

O‘ninchi oyatning tarixiy ro‘yobga chiqishi 1989 yilni timsollaydi; o‘sha paytda papalik Ronald Reygan bilan maxfiy ittifoqda Sovet Ittifoqi ustidan “toshib o‘tdi” va “kezib o‘tdi”, Perestroyka ortidan Sovet Ittifoqi (SSSR) parchalanib ketar ekan, undan faqat uning qal’asi (Rossiya) qoldi.

> And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. Daniel 11:40.

> Oxirzamon vaqtida janub shohi unga qarshi turadi; shimol shohi esa aravalar, otliqlar va ko‘p kemalar bilan dovuldek unga qarshi bostirib keladi; u mamlakatlarga kirib, toshib o‘tadi va oldinga o‘tib ketadi. Doniyor 11:40.

The history of verse ten represents a retaliation against the conquering of the king of the north by the king of the south in 246 BC, and typifies a retaliation against the conquering of the king of the north by the king of the south in 1798. Verse forty began with the time of the end in 1798 when the king of the south (atheistic France) delivered the deadly wound to the king of the north (the papal power), and was fulfilled with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the time of the end in 1989. The time of the end in 1798 is represented in verse forty by the phrase, “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him.” The “colon” (:) that separates the last part of the verse, marks the next “time of the end” in 1989. “And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.”

O‘ninchi oyatning tarixi miloddan avvalgi 246-yilda janub shohining shimol shohini zabt etganiga qarshi bir qasosni ifodalaydi hamda 1798-yilda janub shohining shimol shohini zabt etganiga qarshi qasosning timsoli bo‘ladi. Qirqinchi oyat 1798-yildagi oxirzamon bilan boshlanadi; o‘sha paytda janub shohi (ateistik Fransiya) shimol shohiga (papalik hokimiyatiga) halokatli jarohat yetkazdi va u 1989-yildagi oxirzamon davrida Sovet Ittifoqining qulashida bajo bo‘ldi. 1798-yildagi oxirzamon qirqinchi oyatda: “Va oxirzamon vaqtida janub shohi unga qarshi itariladi”, degan ibora bilan ifodalanadi. Oyatning so‘nggi qismini ajratib turuvchi “ikki nuqta” (:) 1989-yildagi navbatdagi “oxirzamon”ni belgilaydi. “Va shimol shohi unga qarshi aravalari, suvoriylari va ko‘p kemalari bilan bo‘rondek bostirib keladi; u mamlakatlarga kiradi, toshib o‘tadi va o‘tib ketadi.”

> “Every nation that has come upon the stage of action has been permitted to occupy its place on the earth, that it might be seen whether it would fulfill the purpose of ‘the Watcher and the Holy One.’ Prophecy has traced the rise and fall of the world’s great empires—Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. With each of these, as with nations of less power, history repeated itself. Each had its period of test, each failed, its glory faded, its power departed, and its place was occupied by another. . . .

> “Amal maydoniga chiqqan har bir xalqqa yer yuzida o‘z o‘rnini egallashga izn berilgan, toki u ‘Kuzatuvchi va Muqaddas Zot’ning maqsadini bajo keltiradimi-yo‘qmi, ko‘rinsin. Bashorat dunyoning buyuk imperiyalari — Bobil, Midiya-Forsiya, Yunoniston va Rim — ning yuksalishi va qulashini kuzatib borgan. Bularning har biri bilan, xuddi qudrati kamroq bo‘lgan xalqlarda bo‘lgani kabi, tarix o‘zini takrorladi. Har birining sinov davri bo‘ldi, har biri muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchradi, uning shuhrati so‘ndi, qudrati ketdi, va uning o‘rnini boshqasi egalladi....”

> “From the rise and fall of nations as made plain in the pages of Holy Writ, they need to learn how worthless is mere outward and worldly glory. Babylon, with all its power and its magnificence, the like of which our world has never since beheld,—power and magnificence which to the people of that day seemed so stable and enduring,–how completely has it passed away! As ‘the flower of the grass’ it has perished. So perishes all that has not God for its foundation. Only that which is bound up with His purpose and expresses His character can endure. His principles are the only steadfast things our world knows.” Education, 177, 184.

> “Muqaddas Bitik sahifalarida ravshan ko‘rsatib berilgan xalqlarning yuksalishi va qulashi misolida ular faqat tashqi va dunyoviy ulug‘vorlik naqadar behuda ekanini o‘rganishlari kerak. Bobil, o‘zining butun qudrati va hashamati bilan, bizning dunyomiz o‘shandan beri hech qachon uning misolini ko‘rmagan darajadagi qudrat va hashamat bilan, — o‘sha davr odamlari nazarida shunchalik mustahkam va bardavom bo‘lib tuyulgan bo‘lsa-da, — naqadar butunlay yo‘q bo‘lib ketdi! U ‘maysaning guli’ kabi nobud bo‘ldi. Poydevori Xudo bo‘lmagan har bir narsa ham shunday nobud bo‘ladi. Faqat Uning maqsadi bilan chambarchas bog‘langan va Uning fe’l-atvorini ifoda etadigan narsa bardosh bera oladi. Bizning dunyomiz biladigan yagona sobit narsalar Uning tamoyillaridir.” Education, 177, 184.
