Islam of the first and second woes of Revelation chapter nine represented the judgment that was brought upon Rome. William Miller had called the trumpets, “the peculiar judgments” which were brought upon Rome, but Miller could not see Modern Rome, as the threefold alliance which leads the world to Armageddon. Uriah Smith recognized the trumpets represented God’s judgment upon Rome, and that the fifth and sixth trumpets (first and second Woes), were judgments upon the Catholic church.

Vahiy kitobining to‘qqizinchi bobidagi birinchi va ikkinchi voylarning Islomiy kuchlari Rim ustiga keltirilgan hukmni ifodalagan. William Miller karnaylarni Rim ustiga keltirilgan “o‘ziga xos hukmlar” deb atagan edi, biroq Miller butun dunyoni Armageddonga boshlab borayotgan uch tomonlama ittifoq sifatidagi Zamonaviy Rimni ko‘ra olmadi. Uriah Smith karnaylar Rim ustidan Xudoning hukmini ifodalashini va beshinchi hamda oltinchi karnaylar (birinchi va ikkinchi Voylar) Katolik cherkovi ustidan chiqarilgan hukmlar ekanini anglagan edi.

> “For an exposition of this trumpet, we shall again draw from the writings of Mr. Keith. This writer truthfully says: ‘There is scarcely so uniform an agreement among interpreters concerning any other part of the Apocalypse as respecting the application of the fifth and sixth trumpets, or the first and second woes, to the Saracens and Turks. It is so obvious that it can scarcely be misunderstood. Instead of a verse or two designating each, the whole of the ninth chapter of the Revelation in equal portions, is occupied with a description of both.

> “Ushbu karnayning sharhi uchun biz yana janob Keithning yozuvlariga murojaat qilamiz. Bu muallif haqiqatni aytib, shunday deydi: ‘Vahiy kitobining boshqa biror qismi haqida sharhlovchilar orasida beshinchi va oltinchi karnaylarning, yoki birinchi va ikkinchi voylarning, Saratsenlar va Turklar bilan bog‘lanishiga doir kelishuvchalik deyarli bu qadar bir xillik yo‘q. Bu shu qadar ravshanki, uni deyarli noto‘g‘ri tushunish mumkin emas. Har birini ko‘rsatib beruvchi bir-ikki oyat o‘rniga, Vahiy kitobining to‘qqizinchi bobi butunlay, teng qismlarda, ikkalasining ham tasviri bilan banddir.’

> “‘The Roman empire declined, as it arose, by conquest; but the Saracens and the Turks were the instruments by which a false religion became the scourge of an apostate church; and hence, instead of the fifth and sixth trumpets, like the former, being designated by that name alone, they are called woes.” Uriah Smith, Daniel and Revelation, 495.

> “‘Rim imperiyasi qanday zabt etish orqali yuksalgan bo‘lsa, shunday zabt etish orqali tanazzulga yuz tutdi; ammo Sarasenlar va Turklar murtad cherkov ustiga soxta dinni qamchi qilgan vositalar bo‘ldilar; va shuning uchun, avvalgilar singari, beshinchi va oltinchi karnaylar faqat shu nom bilangina atalish o‘rniga, voylar deb ataladi.” Uriah Smith, Daniel and Revelation, 495.

What Miller and Smith did not recognize about the trumpets as God’s judgment upon Rome, was that those judgments were brought about by the enforcement of the worship of the sun. In the year 321, Constantine passed the first Sunday law, and nine years later he moved the capital from the city of Rome, to the city of Constantinople, thus initiating the process of disintegration of the Roman Empire. In Daniel chapter eleven, pagan Rome was to rule supremely for a “time,” which represented the three hundred and sixty years, from the Battle of Actium, in the year 31 BC, unto the year 330, when Constantine divided the kingdom into the West and the East.

Miller va Smith karnaylar haqidagi — ularni Xudoning Rim ustidan chiqargan hukmi sifatida ko‘rgan — tushunchalarida anglamagan narsa shuki, bu hukmlar quyoshga sajda qilishni majburan joriy etish orqali amalga oshirilgan edi. Milodiy 321-yilda Konstantin birinchi yakshanba qonunini chiqardi, va to‘qqiz yil o‘tgach u poytaxtni Rim shahridan Konstantinopol shahriga ko‘chirdi; shu tariqa Rim imperiyasining parchalanish jarayonini boshlab berdi. Doniyor kitobining o‘n birinchi bobida butparast Rim bir “vaqt” davomida oliy hukmronlik qilishi kerak edi; bu esa miloddan avvalgi 31-yildagi Aktsiy jangi sanasidan boshlab, milodiy 330-yilgacha, ya’ni Konstantin shohlikni G‘arb va Sharqqa bo‘lgan davrgacha bo‘lgan uch yuz oltmish yilni ifoda etardi.

> He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.

> U viloyatning eng serhosil joylariga ham osoyishtalik bilan kiradi; va u otalari ham, otalarining otalari ham qilmagan ishni qiladi; u ular orasida o‘lja, talon-toroj va boyliklarni tarqatadi; ha, u hatto qal’alarga qarshi bir muddatgacha o‘z rejalari va hiylalarini tuzadi. Doniyor 11:24.

During those three hundred and sixty years, the Roman Empire was essentially invincible, but once the capital was moved to the East, the ability to govern such a massive empire was no longer possible. Constantine tried to maintain control by dividing the kingdom between his three sons, but that only furthered the crumbling of the former empire.

O‘sha uch yuz oltmish yil davomida Rim imperiyasi amalda yengilmas edi, ammo poytaxt Sharqqa ko‘chirilgach, bunday ulkan imperiyani boshqarish endi mumkin bo‘lmay qoldi. Konstantin saltanatni uch o‘g‘li o‘rtasida bo‘lib, nazoratni saqlab qolishga urindi, biroq bu faqat avvalgi imperiyaning parchalanishini yanada tezlashtirdi.

When the papacy took the throne of the earth in the year 538, at the third Council of Orleans a Sunday law was passed. Thus, in the year 606, Mohammed began his prophetic ministry, and symbolically represented the trumpet that was to be what the historians identify as a “scourge of an apostate church.” The history of the first and second woes, beginning with the ministry of Mohammed in the year 606, concluded on October 22, 1844, when the seventh trumpet sounded.

Papalik milodiy 538-yilda yer taxtini egallaganida, Orlean shahridagi uchinchi Kengashda yakshanba qonuni qabul qilindi. Shunday qilib, milodiy 606-yilda Muhammad o‘zining bashoratli xizmatini boshladi va tarixchilar “murtad jamoatning qamchisi” deb ta’riflaydigan narsaga aylanishi kerak bo‘lgan karnayni ramziy tarzda ifodaladi. Milodiy 606-yilda Muhammadning xizmati bilan boshlangan birinchi va ikkinchi voylarning tarixi, yettinchi karnay sado bergan 1844-yil 22-oktabrda yakunlandi.

> The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:14, 15.

> Ikkinchi qayg‘u o‘tdi; va mana, uchinchi qayg‘u tezda kelmoqda. Va yettinchi farishta karnay chaldi; osmonlarda baland ovozlar yangrab, shunday dedilar: Bu dunyoning saltanatlari Rabbimizning va Uning Masihining saltanatlariga aylandi; va U abadulabad hukmronlik qiladi. Vahiy 11:14, 15.

During the history of the first two Woes, Constantinople, the capital of eastern Rome, was conquered in 1453, and papal Rome in the west was delivered its deadly wound in 1798. The “scourge of an apostate church,” had brought down both civil and religious Rome. The threefold union of Modern Rome is accomplished at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States.

Birinchi ikki Voy tarixining davomida sharqiy Rimning poytaxti Konstantinopol 1453-yilda zabt etildi, g‘arbdagi papalik Rimi esa 1798-yilda o‘zining halokatli yarasini oldi. “Murtad jamoatning qamchisi” fuqaroviy Rimni ham, diniy Rimni ham qulatgan edi. Zamonaviy Rimning uch karra ittifoqi Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlarida tez orada joriy etiladigan yakshanba qonuni bilan ro‘yobga chiqadi.

> “The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.

> “Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlaridagi protestantlar Spiritualizmning qo‘lini tutish uchun jarlik uzra qo‘llarini cho‘zishda peshqadam bo‘ladilar; ular Rim hokimiyati bilan qo‘l berib ko‘rishish uchun tubsizlik uzra qo‘l uzatadilar; va mana shu uch tomonlama ittifoq ta’siri ostida bu mamlakat vijdon huquqlarini oyoqosti qilishda Rimning izidan boradi.” The Great Controversy, 588.

At that time, Islam of the third Woe will accomplish God’s judgment against Modern Rome for its enforcement of Sunday worship, as He did with pagan Rome, and papal Rome. With pagan Rome He employed the first four trumpets to bring an end to Roman rulership in the capital of western Rome by the year 476, for after the year 476, no ruler of the city was of Roman lineage. By 1453 the fifth trumpet of Islam brought Roman rulership of eastern Rome to an end. By 1798, papal rulership of the former tenfold division of the nations of Europe was brought to an end in the history of the sixth trumpet of Islam. The demise of the civil kingdom of Rome, both west and east, and the religious kingdom of Rome was brought about following the enforcement of the pagan worship of the sun.

O‘sha vaqtda uchinchi Vayning Islom dini Zamonaviy Rim ustidan, uning yakshanba ibodatini majburan joriy etgani uchun, Xudoning hukmini amalga oshiradi; xuddi U buni majusiy Rim va papalik Rimi bilan qilganidek. Majusiy Rimga nisbatan U birinchi to‘rtta karnaydan foydalanib, milodiy 476-yilgacha g‘arbiy Rim poytaxtidagi Rim hukmronligiga barham berdi, chunki 476-yildan keyin shahar hukmdorlaridan hech biri rim naslidan emas edi. 1453-yilga kelib Islomning beshinchi karnayi sharqiy Rimdagi Rim hukmronligiga yakun yasadi. 1798-yilga kelib esa Yevropa xalqlarining ilgari o‘n bo‘linishga ega bo‘lgan tuzilmasi ustidagi papalik hukmronligiga Islomning oltinchi karnayi tarixida barham berildi. Rimning fuqaroviy saltanatining — ham g‘arbda, ham sharqda — va Rimning diniy saltanatining halokati majusiy quyoshga sig‘inish majburan joriy etilganidan keyin yuz berdi.

> “The people of the United States have been a favored people; but when they restrict religious liberty, surrender Protestantism, and give countenance to popery, the measure of their guilt will be full, and ‘national apostasy’ will be registered in the books of heaven. The result of this apostasy will be national ruin.” Review and Herald, May 2, 1893.

> “Amerika Qo‘shma Shtatlari xalqi imtiyozga sazovor bo‘lgan xalq bo‘lib kelgan; ammo ular diniy erkinlikni cheklaganlarida, protestantizmni topshirib qo‘yganlarida va papachilikni qo‘llab-quvvatlaganlarida, ularning aybi me’yori to‘ladi va ‘milliy murtadlik’ osmon kitoblarida qayd etiladi. Bu murtadlikning natijasi milliy halokat bo‘ladi.” Review and Herald, 1893-yil 2-may.

The triple application of prophecy establishes the characteristic of the final fulfillment of the prophecy based upon the characteristics of the first two fulfillments. On September 11, 2001 the third Woe arrived in history. It had initially arrived on October 22, 1844, for the third Woe is the seventh trumpet, and that trumpet began to sound at that time. But as with ancient Israel, modern Israel chose rebellion and brought about a period of wandering in the wilderness instead of finishing the work. The sealing time of the third angel was therefore delayed, until it began again on September 11, 2001.

Bashoratning uch karra qo‘llanilishi bashoratning yakuniy ro‘yobga chiqishining xususiyatini dastlabki ikki ro‘yobga chiqishning xususiyatlari asosida belgilaydi. 2001-yil 11-sentabrda uchinchi Voy tarix sahnasiga kirib keldi. U dastlab 1844-yil 22-oktabrda kelgan edi, chunki uchinchi Voy yettinchi karnaydir va o‘sha karnay o‘sha vaqtda chala boshlagan. Ammo qadimgi Isroil bilan bo‘lgani kabi, zamonaviy Isroil ham isyonni tanladi va ishni yakunlash o‘rniga sahroda sarsonlik davrini keltirib chiqardi. Shu sababli uchinchi farishtaning muhrlash vaqti kechiktirildi, to u 2001-yil 11-sentabrda yana boshlanguncha.

> “For forty years did unbelief, murmuring, and rebellion shut out ancient Israel from the land of Canaan. The same sins have delayed the entrance of modern Israel into the heavenly Canaan. In neither case were the promises of God at fault. It is the unbelief, the worldliness, unconsecration, and strife among the Lord’s professed people that have kept us in this world of sin and sorrow so many years.” Selected Messages, book 2, 69.

> “Qirq yil davomida imonsizlik, nolish va isyon qadimgi Isroilni Kan’on yurtidan mahrum qildi. Xuddi o‘sha gunohlar zamonaviy Isroilning samoviy Kan’onga kirishini kechiktirdi. Har ikki holda ham ayb Xudoning va’dalarida emas edi. Bizni shu qadar ko‘p yillar gunoh va qayg‘u olamida ushlab turgan narsa — Rabbiyning O‘ziga mansub deb e’tirof etuvchi xalqi orasidagi imonsizlik, dunyoviylik, muqaddaslanmaganlik va nizodir.” Selected Messages, 2-kitob, 69.

God does not change, and He judges according to the available light. Modern Israel had more available light than ancient Israel, and we are informed “the same sins have delayed the entrance of modern Israel into the heavenly Canaan.” If modern Israel was only held accountable to the light which ancient Israel was held accountable to, it would have been enough, but they had more light. Therefore, if it was the “same sins” that caused “ancient Israel” to wander in the wilderness for “forty years,” then not only was modern Israel banished to the “wilderness” in the rebellion of 1863, but they were just as certainly destined to die there. Their “sins” have delayed the work of the third angel until now.

Xudo o‘zgarmaydi va U mavjud nurga ko‘ra hukm qiladi. Zamonaviy Isroilga qadimgi Isroilga qaraganda ko‘proq nur berilgan edi, va bizga “o‘sha gunohlarning o‘zi zamonaviy Isroilning samoviy Kan’onga kirishini kechiktirdi”, deb xabar qilingan. Agar zamonaviy Isroil faqat qadimgi Isroil javobgar qilingan nur uchun javobgar tutilganida edi, bu yetarli bo‘lur edi, ammo ularga ko‘proq nur berilgan edi. Shuning uchun, agar “o‘sha gunohlarning o‘zi” “qadimgi Isroil”ning “qirq yil” davomida sahroda sarson bo‘lishiga sabab bo‘lgan bo‘lsa, unda zamonaviy Isroil ham nafaqat 1863-yildagi isyonda “sahro”ga chiqarib yuborilgan, balki xuddi shunday muqarrar ravishda o‘sha yerda halok bo‘lishga mahkum etilgan edi. Ularning “gunohlari” uchinchi farishtaning ishini shu paytgacha kechiktirib keldi.

> “Said the angel, ‘The third angel is binding, or sealing, them in bundles for the heavenly garner.’ This little company looked careworn, as if they had passed through severe trials and conflicts. And it appeared as if the sun had just risen from behind a cloud and shone upon their countenances, causing them to look triumphant, as if their victories were nearly won.” Early Writings, 88.

> “Farishta dedi: ‘Uchinchi farishta ularni osmoniy ombor uchun bog‘lam-bog‘lam qilib bog‘lamoqda, ya’ni muhrlamoqda.’ Bu kichik jamoa tashvish va mashaqqatdan ezilgandek ko‘rinar edi, go‘yo ular qattiq sinovlar va kurashlardan o‘tgan edilar. Va quyosh go‘yo bulut ortidan endigina chiqib, ularning yuzlariga nur sochayotgandek tuyular edi; buning natijasida ular zafarmand ko‘rinar, go‘yo ularning g‘alabalari deyarli qo‘lga kiritilgandek edi.” Early Writings, 88.

The same sins that banished ancient Israel to die in the wilderness have delayed the work of the third angel who arrived on October 22, 1844.

Qadimgi Isroilni sahroda halok bo‘lish uchun quvg‘in qilgan o‘sha gunohlar 1844-yil 22-oktabrda kelgan uchinchi farishtaning ishini kechiktirdi.

> “After Jesus opened the door of the most holy, the light of the Sabbath was seen, and the people of God were tested, as the children of Israel were tested anciently, to see if they would keep God’s law. I saw the third angel pointing upward, showing the disappointed ones the way to the holiest of the heavenly sanctuary. As they by faith enter the most holy, they find Jesus, and hope and joy spring up anew. I saw them looking back, reviewing the past, from the proclamation of the second advent of Jesus, down through their experience to the passing of the time in 1844. They see their disappointment explained, and joy and certainty again animate them. The third angel has lighted up the past, the present, and the future, and they know that God has indeed led them by His mysterious providence.” Early Writings, 254.

> “Iso eng muqaddas joyning eshigini ochganidan keyin, Shabbatning nuri ko‘rindi va Xudoning xalqi, qadimda Isroil farzandlari sinalganidek, Xudoning qonuniga rioya qilarmikanlar, deb sinovdan o‘tkazildi. Men uchinchi farishtaning yuqoriga ishora qilib, umidlari puchga chiqqanlarga samoviy ma’badning eng muqaddas joyiga boradigan yo‘lni ko‘rsatayotganini ko‘rdim. Ular imon orqali eng muqaddas joyga kirganlarida, Isoni topadilar va umid hamda quvonch yangidan jo‘sh uradi. Men ularning ortga nazar tashlab, o‘tmishni qayta ko‘zdan kechirayotganlarini ko‘rdim: Isoning ikkinchi bor kelishi haqidagi e’lon qilingan xabardan boshlab, 1844-yildagi vaqtning o‘tib ketishigacha bo‘lgan tajribalarini. Ular o‘z umidsizliklarining izohini ko‘radilar va quvonch hamda ishonch yana ularni jonlantiradi. Uchinchi farishta o‘tmishni, hozirni va kelajakni yoritib berdi, va ular Xudo haqiqatan ham ularni O‘zining sirli ilohiy irodasi bilan boshqarganini biladilar.” Early Writings, 254.

The third angel is the sealing angel, and he arrived on October 22, 1844, but his work was delayed by the same sins that caused ancient Israel to die in the wilderness. The delay caused by the rebellion of 1863, was a delaying of the work of the third angel, and therefore the sealing has been hindered and delayed for over one hundred years.

Uchinchi farishta — muhrlovchi farishtadir, va u 1844-yil 22-oktabrda keldi, ammo uning ishi qadimgi Isroilning sahroda halok bo‘lishiga sabab bo‘lgan o‘sha gunohlar tufayli kechiktirildi. 1863-yildagi isyon sabab bo‘lgan bu kechikish uchinchi farishtaning ishining kechiktirilishi edi, va shuning uchun muhrlash yuz yildan ortiq vaqt davomida to‘sib qo‘yildi hamda kechiktirildi.

> “[Numbers 32:6–15, quoted.] The Lord God is a jealous God, yet He bears long with the sins and transgressions of His people in this generation. If the people of God had walked in His counsel, the work of God would have advanced, the messages of truth would have been borne to all people that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Had the people of God believed Him and been doers of His word, had they kept His commandments, the angel would not have come flying through heaven with the message to the four angels that were to let loose the winds that they should blow upon the earth crying, Hold, hold the four winds that they blow not upon the earth until I have sealed the servants of God in their foreheads. But because the people are disobedient, unthankful, unholy, as were ancient Israel, time is prolonged that all may hear the last message of mercy proclaimed with a loud voice. The Lord’s work has been hindered, the sealing time delayed. Many have not heard the truth. But the Lord will give them a chance to hear and be converted, and the great work of God will go forward.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 292.

> “[Sahro 32:6–15, iqtibos keltirilgan.] Xudovand Rabb hasadgo‘y Xudodir, biroq U bu avlodda O‘z xalqining gunohlari va qonunbuzarliklariga uzoq sabr qiladi. Agar Xudoning xalqi Uning maslahatida yurganida, Xudoning ishi ilgarilagan bo‘lur edi, va haqiqat xabarlari butun yer yuzi uzra yashovchi barcha xalqlarga yetkazilgan bo‘lur edi. Agar Xudoning xalqi Unga ishonganida va Uning kalomining ijrochilari bo‘lganida, agar ular Uning amrlarini saqlaganlarida, unda shamollarni qo‘yib yuborib, ular yer ustida esishi kerak bo‘lgan to‘rt farishtaga xabar bilan osmon bo‘ylab uchib kelgan farishta: “To Xudoning qullarini ularning peshonalariga muhrlagunimcha, to‘rt shamolni ushlab turinglar, ushlab turinglar, ular yer ustida esmasin”, deb nido qilgan bo‘lmas edi. Ammo xalq qadimgi Isroil singari itoatsiz, noshukur, nopok bo‘lgani uchun, hamma baland ovoz bilan e’lon qilinadigan rahm-shafqatning so‘nggi xabarini eshitishi uchun vaqt cho‘zilmoqda. Xudovandning ishi to‘siqqa uchradi, muhrlash vaqti kechiktirildi. Ko‘plar haqiqatni eshitmagan. Ammo Xudovand ularga eshitish va tavba qilib qaytish uchun imkon beradi, va Xudoning buyuk ishi oldinga boradi.” Manuscript Releases, 15-jild, 292.

On September 11, 2001 the third angel arrived again, and the sealing time which had been delayed since the rebellion of 1863, began again. It was the arrival of Islam of the third Woe, which is also the seventh trumpet that marks the beginning of the sealing time. The sealing time began with the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844, when the seventh trumpet began to sound, but that trumpet was hindered and delayed.

2001-yil 11-sentyabrda uchinchi farishta yana keldi va 1863-yildagi isyondan beri kechiktirilgan muhrlash vaqti yana boshlandi. Bu uchinchi Voyning Islomining kelishi edi; u, shuningdek, muhrlash vaqtining boshlanishini belgilovchi yettinchi karnaydir. Muhrlash vaqti uchinchi farishtaning 1844-yil 22-oktyabrda kelishi bilan boshlandi, o‘shanda yettinchi karnay sado bera boshlagan edi, ammo o‘sha karnayga to‘sqinlik qilindi va u kechiktirildi.

> And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:5–7.

> Va men dengiz ustida va yer ustida turganini ko‘rgan farishta qo‘lini osmonga ko‘tardi, va osmonni ham, undagi narsalarni ham, yerni ham, undagi narsalarni ham, dengizni ham, undagi narsalarni ham yaratgan, abadulabad tirik Zot nomi bilan qasam ichdi: endi vaqt bo‘lmaydi; balki yettinchi farishtaning ovozi yangraydigan kunlarda, u karnay chalishni boshlaganida, Xudoning siri O‘z qullari bo‘lmish payg‘ambarlariga xushxabar qilganidek, tamom bo‘ladi. Vahiy 10:5–7.

The “voice” of the seventh angel, is the voice of the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen, which descended when the great buildings of New York City were thrown down.

Yettinchi farishtaning “ovozi” — Nyu-York shahrining ulkan binolari qulatilgan paytda tushib kelgan, Vahiy kitobining o‘n sakkizinchi bobidagi farishtaning ovozidir.

> And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:1–3.

> Shundan keyin men osmondan tushib kelayotgan, buyuk qudratga ega bo‘lgan boshqa bir farishtani ko‘rdim; va yer uning ulug‘vorligidan yorishdi. U baland ovoz bilan qudratli tarzda nido qilib dedi: Buyuk Bobil quladi, quladi, va jinlarning maskaniga, har bir nopok ruhning makoniga hamda har bir nopok va jirkanch qushning qafasiga aylandi. Chunki barcha xalqlar uning zinosi g‘azabining sharobidan ichdilar, yer yuzining shohlari u bilan zino qildilar, va yer yuzining savdogarlari uning dabdabali ne’matlarining mo‘l-ko‘lligi orqali boyib ketdilar. Vahiy 18:1–3.

The “voice” of the mighty angel who descends, commands the angels to hold the four winds, that are represented as an “angry horse” seeking to break loose and bring death and destruction in its path.

Pastga tushayotgan qudratli farishtaning “ovozi” farishtalarga to‘rt shamolni ushlab turishni buyuradi; bu shamollar yo‘lida o‘lim va vayronagarchilik keltirish uchun bo‘shanishga intilayotgan “g‘azablangan ot” sifatida tasvirlangan.

> “The angels of God do His bidding, holding back the winds of the earth, that the winds should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree, until the servants of God should be sealed in their foreheads. The mighty angel is seen ascending from the east (or sunrising). This mightiest of angels has in his hand the seal of the living God, or of Him who alone can give life, who can inscribe upon the foreheads the mark or inscription, to whom shall be granted immortality, eternal life. It is the voice of this highest angel that had authority to command the four angels to keep in check the four winds until this work was performed, and until he should give the summons to let them loose.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.

> “Xudoning farishtalari Uning amrini bajo keltirib, yerning shamollarini tutib turadilar, toki shamollar yerga ham, dengizga ham, biror daraxtga ham esmasin, Xudoning qullari esa peshonalarida muhrlanmaguncha. Qudratli farishta sharqdan (yoki quyosh chiqishidan) ko‘tarilib kelayotgani ko‘rinadi. Farishtalarning eng qudratlisi o‘z qo‘lida tirik Xudoning, ya’ni hayotni bera oladigan, peshonalarga kimlarga boqiylik, abadiy hayot ato etilishi kerak bo‘lsa, o‘shalarga belgi yoki yozuvni bitib qo‘ya oladigan Zotning muhrini tutib turadi. To‘rt shamolni bu ish ado etilguncha, va u ularni qo‘yib yuborish uchun amr bermaguncha, tiyib turishni to‘rt farishtaga buyurish vakolatiga ega bo‘lgan ovoz aynan mana shu eng oliy farishtaning ovozidir.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.

The angel who commands the four angels to hold the winds, is the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen who lightens the earth with His glory, and his “strong voice” is the voice of the seventh angel.

To‘rt farishtaga shamollarni ushlab turishni buyuruvchi farishta — Vahiy kitobining o‘n sakkizinchi bobidagi, yerni O‘zining ulug‘vorligi bilan yoritadigan farishtadir; uning “kuchli ovozi” esa yettinchi farishtaning ovozidir.

> “And what a representation is given in Revelation 7 for our consideration and comfort and encouragement! The four angels are commissioned to do a work upon the earth. But One who purchased the world by giving Himself for its ransom has a chosen few. Who? Those who are keeping all of the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus.

> “Vahiy 7-bobda mulohazamiz, taskinimiz va dalda olishimiz uchun qanday ajoyib tasvir berilgan! To‘rt farishta yer yuzida bir ishni bajarishga tayinlangan. Ammo O‘zini uning fidyasi uchun berib, dunyoni sotib olgan Zotning tanlangan ozchiligi bor. Kimlar ular? Xudoning barcha amrlarini tutayotgan va Isoning imoniga ega bo‘lganlardir.

> “John’s attention was called to another scene: ‘And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God’ (Revelation 7:2). Who is this? The Angel of the covenant. He comes from the sunrising. He is the Dayspring from on high. He is the Light of the world. ‘In Him was life; and the life was the light of men’ (John 1:4). This is the One Isaiah describes: ‘Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace’ (Isaiah 9:6). He cried, as One who had superiority over the hosts of angels in heaven ‘to whom it was given to hurt the earth, and the sea, saying, “hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads” (Revelation 7:2, 3).

> “Yuhannoning e’tibori yana bir manzaraga qaratildi: ‘Va men sharqdan ko‘tarilib kelayotgan, tirik Xudoning muhriga ega bo‘lgan boshqa bir farishtani ko‘rdim’ (Vahiy 7:2). Bu kim? Ahdning Farishtasi. U quyosh chiqish tomondan keladi. U yuqoridan kelgan Tongdir. U dunyoning Nuridir. ‘Unda hayot bor edi, va hayot insonlarning nuri edi’ (Yuhanno 1:4). Ishayo tasvirlaydigan Zot mana Shudir: ‘Zero, biz uchun Bola tug‘ildi, bizga O‘g‘il berildi; va hokimiyat Uning yelkasida bo‘ladi; va Uning nomi Ajoyib, Maslahatchi, Qudratli Xudo, Abadiy Ota, Tinchlik Shahzodasi deb ataladi’ (Ishayo 9:6). U osmonda farishtalar lashkari ustidan ustunlikka ega bo‘lgan Zot sifatida, ‘yerga va dengizga zarar yetkazish berilgan’ farishtalarga shunday deb baland ovoz bilan faryod qildi: ‘Xudoyimizning qullarining peshonalariga muhr bosmagunimizcha, na yerga, na dengizga, na daraxtlarga zarar yetkazing’ (Vahiy 7:2, 3).”

> “Here is the divine and human united. The command is given to the four angels to hold in check the four winds until they receive His summons. Read the entire chapter. The cry, ‘Hurt not,’ is uttered by the Restorer, the Redeemer.

> “Mana, bu yerda ilohiy va insoniy birlashgandir. To‘rt shamolni Uning da’vati yetib kelgunicha tiyib turish haqida to‘rt farishtaga amr berilgan. Butun bobni o‘qing. «Zarar yetkazmanglar», degan nido Qayta Tiklovchi, Najotkor tomonidan aytilgandir.

> “Judgment and wrath were to be repressed only for a little space until a certain work was done. The message, the last message of warning and mercy, has been retarded in doing its work by the selfish love of money, the selfish love of ease, and the unfitness of man to do a work that needs to be done. The angel that is to lighten the earth with His glory has waited for human instrumentalities through whom the light of heaven could shine, and they thus cooperate to give, in its sacred, solemn importance, the message which is to decide the destiny of the world.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 222.

> “Qiyomat va g‘azab faqat ma’lum bir ish ado etilgunicha bir oz muddatga tiyib turilishi lozim edi. Xabar, ogohlantirish va rahmatning so‘nggi xabari, pulga bo‘lgan xudbin muhabbat, rohat-farog‘atga bo‘lgan xudbin muhabbat va ado etilishi zarur bo‘lgan ishni bajarishga insonning noloyiqligi tufayli o‘z ishini qilishda kechiktirildi. O‘zining ulug‘vorligi bilan yer yuzini yoritishi lozim bo‘lgan farishta, osmon nuri porlashi mumkin bo‘lgan insoniy vositalarni kutib turdi, va shu tariqa ular o‘zaro hamkorlik qilib, o‘zining muqaddas, tantanavor ahamiyati ila dunyoning taqdirini belgilab beradigan xabarni yetkazadilar.” Manuscript Releases, 15-jild, 222.

The third angel, who is Christ, is also the sealing angel who arrived on October 22, 1844, but due to the disobedience of God’s people, His work of sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand has been delayed until September 11, 2001. Then Islam of the third Woe, brought down the great buildings of New York, and the sealing process began. At that point the nations became “angry, yet held in check”. The first voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, is the voice that commands the four angels to hold, while God’s people are sealed.

Uchinchi farishta, ya’ni Masih, shuningdek 1844-yil 22-oktabrda kelgan muhrlovchi farishtadir, ammo Xudoning xalqining itoatsizligi tufayli Uning bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishini muhrlash ishi 2001-yil 11-sentabrgacha kechiktirildi. So‘ng uchinchi Voyning Islom dini Nyu-Yorkning ulkan binolarini qulatdi va muhrlash jarayoni boshlandi. O‘sha paytda xalqlar “g‘azabga to‘ldi, ammo tiyib turildi”. Vahiyning o‘n sakkizinchi bobidagi birinchi ovoz, Xudoning xalqi muhrlanayotgan paytda to‘rt farishtaga ushlab turishni buyuradigan ovozdir.

Jesus always illustrates the ending with the beginning, and on February 26, 1993, Islam of the third Woe detonated a truck bomb in the underground parking garage of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The explosion resulted in significant damage to the building, killing six people and injuring over a thousand others. While the attack did not bring down the towers, it was a significant act of terrorism on U.S. soil and foreshadowed the events of September 11, 2001.

Iso har doim yakunni ibtido bilan tasvirlaydi, va 1993-yil 26-fevralda uchinchi Voyning Islom dini Jahon Savdo Markazining Shimoliy minorasi yer osti avtoturargohida yuk mashinasiga joylashtirilgan bombani portlatdi. Portlash binoga katta zarar yetkazdi, olti kishining halok bo‘lishiga va mingdan ortiq boshqa kishilarning jarohatlanishiga sabab bo‘ldi. Hujum minoralarni qulatmagan bo‘lsa-da, u AQSh hududida sodir etilgan muhim terrorchilik harakati bo‘ldi hamda 2001-yil 11-sentabr voqealarining darakchisi bo‘ldi.

The sealing time began on September 11, 2001, but it included a forewarning eight years before. The Islamic attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 is a forewarning of the ending of the sealing time. The prophetic characteristics of the third Woe have been established with the prophetic characteristics of the first two Woes. In the opening verses of chapter nine of Revelation the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is illustrated.

Muhrlash vaqti 2001-yil 11-sentabrda boshlandi, biroq u sakkiz yil avval berilgan oldindan ogohlantirishni ham o‘z ichiga olgan edi. 2023-yil 7-oktabrdagi Islomning Isroilga hujumi muhrlash vaqtining yakunlanishiga doir oldindan ogohlantirishdir. Uchinchi Voyning bashoratli xususiyatlari dastlabki ikki Voyning bashoratli xususiyatlari bilan belgilab qo‘yilgan. Vahiy kitobining to‘qqizinchi bobi ochilishidagi oyatlarda bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning muhrlanishi tasvirlangan.

We will consider that subject in the next article.

Biz o‘sha mavzuni keyingi maqolada ko‘rib chiqamiz.

> “If such scenes as this are to come, such tremendous judgments on a guilty world, where will be the refuge for God’s people? How will they be sheltered until the indignation be overpast? John sees the elements of nature—earthquake, tempest, and political strife—represented as being held by four angels. These winds are under control until God gives the word to let them go. There is the safety of God’s church. The angels of God do His bidding, holding back the winds of the earth, that the winds should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree, until the servants of God should be sealed in their foreheads. The mighty angel is seen ascending from the east (or sunrising). This mightiest of angels has in his hand the seal of the living God, or of Him who alone can give life, who can inscribe upon the foreheads the mark or inscription, to whom shall be granted immortality, eternal life. It is the voice of this highest angel that had authority to command the four angels to keep in check the four winds until this work was performed, and until he should give the summons to let them loose.

> “Agar mana shunday manzaralar kelajakda bo‘lsa, aybdor dunyo ustiga shunchalik dahshatli hukmlar keladigan bo‘lsa, unda Xudoning xalqi uchun qayerda panoh bo‘ladi? G‘azab o‘tib ketguncha ular qanday himoya ostida saqlanadi? Yuhanno tabiat unsurlarini — zilzila, bo‘ron va siyosiy nizoni — to‘rt farishta tomonidan ushlab turilgan holda ko‘radi. Bu shamollar Xudo ularni qo‘yib yuborish haqida so‘z bermaguncha nazorat ostidadir. Xudoning jamoatining xavfsizligi shundadir. Xudoning farishtalari Uning amrini ado etib, yerning shamollarini to‘sib turadilar, toki Xudoning qullari peshonalarida muhrlanmaguncha shamollar na yerga, na dengizga, na biror daraxtga essin. Qudratli farishta sharqdan (yoki quyosh chiqish tomonidan) ko‘tarilib kelayotgani ko‘rinadi. Farishtalarning eng qudratlisi o‘z qo‘lida tirik Xudoning muhrini, ya’ni hayotni faqat O‘zi bera oladigan Zotning muhrini tutadi; U peshonalarga o‘lmaslik, abadiy hayot ato etiladigan kishilarga tegishli belgi yoki yozuvni bitib qo‘yishga qodirdir. Aynan shu oliy farishtaning ovozi bu ish bajarilguncha va u ularni bo‘shatib yuborish uchun amr bermaguncha to‘rt shamolni tiyib turishni to‘rt farishtaga buyurish vakolatiga ega edi.”

> “Those that overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil, will be the favored ones who shall receive the seal of the living God. Those whose hands are not clean, whose hearts are not pure, will not have the seal of the living God. Those who are planning sin and acting it will be passed by. Only those who, in their attitude before God, are filling the position of those who are repenting and confessing their sins in the great anti-typical Day of Atonement, will be recognized and marked as worthy of God’s protection. The names of those who are steadfastly looking and waiting and watching for the appearing of their Saviour—more earnestly and wishfully than they who wait for the morning—will be numbered with those who are sealed. Those who, while having all the light of truth flashing upon their souls, should have works corresponding to their avowed faith, but are allured by sin, setting up idols in their hearts, corrupting their souls before God, and polluting those who unite with them in sin, will have their names blotted out of the book of life, and be left in midnight darkness, having no oil in their vessels with their lamps. ‘Unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings.’

> “Dunyoni, nafsni va iblisni yengganlar tirik Xudoning muhrini qabul qiladigan marhamat topgan kishilar bo‘ladilar. Qo‘llari pok bo‘lmagan, yuraklari sof bo‘lmaganlar tirik Xudoning muhriga ega bo‘lmaydilar. Gunohni rejalashtirib, uni amalga oshirayotganlar chetlab o‘tiladilar. Faqat buyuk antitipik Kafforat kunida Xudo huzuridagi holatida tavba qilayotgan va gunohlarini e’tirof etayotganlar o‘rnini egallayotganlar Xudoning himoyasiga loyiq deb tan olinib, belgilab qo‘yiladilar. O‘z Najotkorining zohir bo‘lishini tongni kutuvchilardan ham ko‘ra ortiqroq jiddiylik va intiqlik bilan izchil ravishda kutayotgan, umid bilan boqayotgan va hushyorlik bilan kuzatayotganlarning nomlari muhrlanganlar qatoriga qo‘shiladi. Haqiqat nuri butun borlig‘iga yog‘ilib turgan holda, e’lon qilgan imoniga mos amallarga ega bo‘lishi lozim bo‘lgan, ammo gunoh tomonidan maftun etilib, yuraklarida butlar o‘rnatayotgan, Xudo oldida o‘z jonlarini buzayotgan va gunohda ularga qo‘shilganlarni ham harom qilayotganlarning nomlari hayot kitobidan o‘chirib tashlanadi va chiroqlari bilan idishlarida moyi bo‘lmagan holda yarim tun zulmatida qoldiriladilar. ‘Mening nomimdan qo‘rqadigan sizlar uchun esa Solihlik Quyoshi O‘z qanotlarida shifo bilan porlab chiqadi.’”

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

> “Xudoning qullarini bu muhrlash Ezekielga vahiyda ko‘rsatilgan ayni o‘sha narsadir. Yuhanno ham bu nihoyatda dahshatli vahiyga guvoh bo‘lgan edi. U dengiz va to‘lqinlarning shovullashini, odamlarning yuraklari qo‘rquvdan orqaga tortib, holdan ketayotganini ko‘rdi. U yerning silkinayotganini va tog‘larning dengiz o‘rtasiga uloqtirilayotganini (bu tom ma’noda sodir bo‘lmoqda), uning suvlari g‘uvillab, g‘alayonlanayotganini va tog‘larning uning toshqinidan larzaga kelayotganini ko‘rdi. Unga vabolar, o‘lat, qahatchilik va o‘lim o‘zlarining dahshatli vazifasini ado etayotganlari ko‘rsatildi.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.
