The final controversy I wish to bring together with the other historical arguments over the symbol of Rome within Advent history is the book of Joel. That controversy took place after September 11, 2001, and without considering the circumstances of that period a few subtle points might very well be missed. To place those circumstances into context requires a consideration of the Millerite history. On August 11, 1840 the time prophecy of Revelation chapter nine, verse fifteen was fulfilled.

Advent tarixidagi Rim timsoli haqidagi boshqa tarixiy dalillar bilan birga ko‘rib chiqishni istagan so‘nggi bahs — Yoel kitobidir. Bu bahs 2001-yil 11-sentabrdan keyin yuz berdi va o‘sha davrning sharoitlarini e’tiborga olmasdan, ayrim nozik jihatlar juda oson ko‘zdan qochishi mumkin. Bu sharoitlarni o‘z o‘rniga qo‘yish uchun Millerchilar tarixini ko‘rib chiqish zarur. 1840-yil 11-avgustda Vahiy kitobining to‘qqizinchi bob, o‘n beshinchi oyatidagi vaqt bashorati amalga oshdi.

> And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. Revelation 9:15.

> Va insonlarning uchdan bir qismini o‘ldirish uchun bir soatga, bir kunga, bir oyga va bir yilga tayyorlab qo‘yilgan to‘rtta farishta bo‘shatildi. Vahiy 9:15.

The verse identifies the “hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,” as equating to three hundred ninety-one years and fifteen days. The four angels represented when Islam rose to power and brought warfare against Rome, beginning on July 27, 1449. The starting point was determined by employing the ending point of another time prophecy of one hundred and fifty years. The first time prophecy of one hundred and fifty years was set forth in the history of the first woe, which is also the fifth trumpet of Revelation chapter nine. When the one-hundred-and-fifty-year prophecy concluded on July 27, 1449, the time prophecy we are now considering began, and three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days later the prophecy ended on August 11, 1840.

Oyatda tilga olingan “bir soat, bir kun, bir oy va bir yil” uch yuz to‘qson bir yil va o‘n besh kunga teng ekani ko‘rsatiladi. To‘rt farishta Islom hokimiyatga ko‘tarilib, 1449-yil 27-iyuldan boshlab Rimga qarshi urush olib borgan paytni ifodalagan. Boshlanish nuqtasi boshqa bir yuz ellik yillik vaqt bashoratining tugash nuqtasidan foydalanish orqali belgilandi. Birinchi bir yuz ellik yillik vaqt bashorati birinchi voy tarixida bayon etilgan bo‘lib, u Vahiy kitobining to‘qqizinchi bobidagi beshinchi karnay hamdir. Bir yuz ellik yillik bashorat 1449-yil 27-iyulda yakunlanganda, biz hozir ko‘rib chiqayotgan vaqt bashorati boshlandi va uch yuz to‘qson bir yil hamda o‘n besh kundan keyin bu bashorat 1840-yil 11-avgustda nihoyasiga yetdi.

William Miller had understood the powers of Revelation nine to represent Islam, and prior to the date of August 11, 1840, a Millerite named Josiah Litch set forth a prediction based upon the prophecy identifying that in 1840, the Ottoman Supremacy would cease. Ten days before August 11, 1840, Litch fine-tuned and updated his prediction to identify not simply the year the prophecy would be fulfilled, but the very year, day and month. Sister White comments on the effect of Litch’s prediction upon the religious world of the Millerites when the event was fulfilled.

Uilyam Miller Vahiyning to‘qqizinchi bobidagi kuchlarni Islomni ifodalaydi deb tushungan edi, va 1840-yil 11-avgust sanasidan oldin, Miller harakatiga mansub Yosiyo Litch bashoratga asoslangan holda, 1840-yilda Usmonli hukmronligi barham topishini ko‘rsatgan bir bashoratni ilgari surdi. 1840-yil 11-avgustdan o‘n kun oldin, Litch o‘z bashoratini yanada aniqlashtirib, yangiladi va bashorat nafaqat qaysi yilda bajo bo‘lishini, balki aynan yilini, kunini va oyini ham ko‘rsatdi. Opa Uayt voqea bajo bo‘lganida, Litchning bashorati Millerchilar diniy olamiga qanday ta’sir ko‘rsatgani haqida fikr bildiradi.

> “In the year 1840 another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to be overthrown . . . on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And this, I believe, will be found to be the case.’

> “1840 yilda bashoratning yana bir diqqatga sazovor ro‘yobga chiqishi keng tarqalgan qiziqish uyg‘otdi. Bundan ikki yil avval, ikkinchi kelish haqida va’z qilayotgan yetakchi xizmatkorlardan biri bo‘lgan Josiah Litch Vahiy 9 ning sharhini nashr etib, Usmonli imperiyasining qulashini oldindan aytgan edi. Uning hisob-kitoblariga ko‘ra, bu qudrat ... 1840 yil 11-avgustda ag‘darilishi kerak edi; o‘sha paytda Konstantinopoldagi Usmonli hokimiyatining barham topishi kutilishi mumkin. Va men ishonamanki, aynan shunday bo‘lib chiqadi.”

> “At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

> “Aynan belgilangan o‘sha vaqtda Turkiya o‘z elchilari orqali Yevropaning ittifoqchi davlatlari himoyasini qabul qildi va shu tariqa o‘zini xristian xalqlar nazorati ostiga qo‘ydi. Bu hodisa bashoratni aynan bajo keltirdi. Bu ma’lum bo‘lgach, ko‘pchilik Miller va uning hamkorlari qabul qilgan bashoratlarni talqin qilish tamoyillarining to‘g‘riligiga ishonch hosil qildi va advent harakatiga ajoyib bir turtki berildi. Ilmli va martabali kishilar ham Millerga qo‘shilib, uning qarashlarini ham va’z qilishda, ham nashr etishda ishtirok etdilar, va 1840 yildan 1844 yilgacha bu ish tez sur’atlar bilan kengaydi.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.

Her endorsement of this event has through the years been attacked repeatedly through a variety of ways by Laodicean Seventh-day Adventists. As with the seven times and “the daily”, to attack this truth is to reject the foundations as represented upon the two sacred tables, and also the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy. The reason Satan has worked to destroy confidence in this history is multifaceted.

Bu voqeani uning ma’qullagani yillar davomida Laodikeyadagi Yettinchi kun adventistlari tomonidan turli yo‘llar bilan qayta-qayta hujum ostiga olingan. “Yetti marta” va “kundalik” masalasida bo‘lgani kabi, bu haqiqatga hujum qilish ikki muqaddas lavhada ifodalangan poydevorlarni, shuningdek, Bashorat Ruhining hokimiyatini rad etish demakdir. Shaytonning bu tarixga bo‘lgan ishonchni yo‘q qilish uchun harakat qilganining sababi ko‘p qirralidir.

Litch’s prediction employed “the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller.” Miller was given insight to the element of prophetic time, and any who doubt that Miller’s message was based upon prophetic time, only needs to review the 1843 and 1850 pioneer charts to confirm that this was true. Before August 11, 1840, those opposing Miller’s prediction of the return of Christ would argue that prophetic time could not be employed to understand when Christ would return. They often used the Bible’s statement about not knowing the day nor hour, to resist his message and work.

Litchning bashorati “Miller qabul qilgan bashoratni talqin qilish tamoyillari”dan foydalandi. Millerga bashoratli vaqt unsurini anglash bo‘yicha idrok berilgan edi; va Millerning xabari bashoratli vaqtga asoslanganiga shubha qiladigan har kim, buning haqiqat ekanini tasdiqlash uchun faqat 1843 va 1850 yillardagi kashshoflar jadvallarini ko‘rib chiqishi kifoyadir. 1840-yil 11-avgustdan oldin, Millerning Masihning qaytishi haqidagi bashoratiga qarshi bo‘lganlar, Masihning qachon qaytishini tushunish uchun bashoratli vaqtdan foydalanib bo‘lmaydi, deb ta’kidlar edilar. Ular ko‘pincha uning xabari va ishiga qarshi turish uchun, kunni ham, soatni ham bilmaslik haqidagi Muqaddas Kitob bayonotini dalil sifatida keltirar edilar.

> But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matthew 24:36–40.

> Lekin o‘sha kun va soatni hech kim bilmaydi; osmondagi farishtalar ham emas, faqat Otamning O‘zi biladi. Nuhning kunlari qanday bo‘lgan bo‘lsa, Inson O‘g‘lining kelishi ham shunday bo‘ladi. Chunki to‘fondan oldingi kunlarda ular yeb-ichar, uylanar va erga berilar edilar, to Nuh kemaga kirgan kungacha; va to‘fon kelib, ularning barchasini olib ketmaguncha bilmadilar; Inson O‘g‘lining kelishi ham shunday bo‘ladi. O‘shanda dalada ikki kishi bo‘ladi: biri olinadi, boshqasi esa qoldiriladi. Matto 24:36–40.

In spite of this passage the Millerites found too much biblical evidence to support their predictions and carried on and operated upon a principle later identified by Sister White.

Bu parchaga qaramay, milleritlar o‘z bashoratlarini qo‘llab-quvvatlash uchun Muqaddas Kitobdan haddan tashqari ko‘p dalil topdilar va keyinchalik Opa Uayt tomonidan aniqlab berilgan bir tamoyil asosida ish yuritdilar.

> “‘No man knoweth the day nor the hour’ was the argument most often brought forward by rejecters of the advent faith. The scripture is: ‘Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.’ Matthew 24:36. A clear and harmonious explanation of this text was given by those who were looking for the Lord, and the wrong use made of it by their opponents was clearly shown. The words were spoken by Christ in that memorable conversation with His disciples upon Olivet after He had for the last time departed from the temple. The disciples had asked the question: ‘What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?’ Jesus gave them signs, and said: ‘When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.’ Verses 3, 33. One saying of the Saviour must not be made to destroy another. Though no man knoweth the day nor the hour of His coming, we are instructed and required to know when it is near. We are further taught that to disregard His warning, and refuse or neglect to know when His advent is near, will be as fatal for us as it was for those who lived in the days of Noah not to know when the flood was coming. And the parable in the same chapter, contrasting the faithful and the unfaithful servant, and giving the doom of him who said in his heart, ‘My Lord delayeth His coming,’ shows in what light Christ will regard and reward those whom He finds watching, and teaching His coming, and those denying it. ‘Watch therefore,’ He says. ‘Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when He cometh shall find so doing.’ Verses 42, 46. ‘If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.’ Revelation 3:3.” The Great Controversy, 370.

> “‘Na kunni va na soatni hech kim bilmaydi’ degan dalil kelish haqidagi imonni rad etuvchilar tomonidan eng ko‘p ilgari surilar edi. Muqaddas Yozuvdagi oyat shundaydir: ‘O‘sha kun va soatni hech kim bilmaydi, hatto osmon farishtalari ham emas, balki faqat Otam biladi.’ Matto 24:36. Bu matnga aniq va uyg‘un bir izoh Rabbiyni kutayotganlar tomonidan berildi, hamda unga ularning muxoliflari tomonidan noto‘g‘ri tarzda qanday foydalanilganligi ravshan ko‘rsatib berildi. Bu so‘zlar Masih tomonidan U ma’baddan so‘nggi marta chiqib ketganidan keyin Zaytun tog‘ida shogirdlari bilan bo‘lgan o‘sha unutilmas suhbatda aytilgan edi. Shogirdlar shunday savol bergan edilar: ‘Sening kelishingning va dunyoning oxirining alomati nima bo‘ladi?’ Iso ularga alomatlarni aytib berdi va dedi: ‘Bu narsalarning barchasini ko‘rganingizda, bilinglarki, u yaqin, eshik oldidadir.’ Oyatlar 3, 33. Najotkorning bir so‘zi boshqasini bekor qiladigan qilib talqin etilmasligi kerak. Uning kelishining kuni va soatini hech kim bilmasa-da, bizga uning qachon yaqinligini bilish o‘rgatilgan va bu bizdan talab etilgan. Bundan tashqari, Uning ogohlantirishiga e’tibor bermaslik, hamda Uning kelishi qachon yaqinlashganini bilishdan bosh tortish yoki buni mensimaslik, To‘fon qachon kelayotganini bilmaslik Nuh zamonida yashaganlar uchun qanday halokatli bo‘lgan bo‘lsa, biz uchun ham shunday halokatli bo‘lishi o‘rgatilgan. Shu bobdagi sodiq va nosodiq xizmatkorni qiyoslaydigan, hamda yuragida: ‘Rabbim kelishini kechiktirmoqda’, degan kishining hukmini bayon qiladigan masal ham Masih hushyor turgan va Uning kelishini targ‘ib etayotganlarni, shuningdek buni inkor etayotganlarni qanday nuqtai nazarda ko‘rishi va mukofotlashi haqida ko‘rsatadi. ‘Shuning uchun bedor bo‘linglar’, deydi U. ‘Xojasi kelganida shunday qilayotgan holda topadigan o‘sha xizmatkor baxtlidir.’ Oyatlar 42, 46. ‘Agar sen bedor bo‘lmasang, Men senga o‘g‘ri kabi kelaman, va Men senga qaysi soatda kelishimni bilmaysan.’ Vahiy 3:3.” Buyuk Kurash, 370.

When Litch’s prediction was fulfilled men “of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” Miller’s message was empowered when his rules of prophetic interpretation were confirmed as valid rules. In response to the fulfillment of the time prophecy, not only was Miller’s rule's confirmed, and many then joined the Millerite movement, but just as prophetically significant was that it was the primary rule of Miller’s rules that had been confirmed. Also, the fact that the confirmation was accomplished by the application of a prophecy of the second of three woes, which are also the fifth, sixth and seventh trumpet.

Litchning bashorati amalga oshgach, “ilmli va nufuzli kishilar va’z qilishda ham, uning qarashlarini nashr etishda ham Miller bilan birlashdilar, va 1840 yildan 1844 yilgacha ish tez sur’atlar bilan kengaydi.” Millerning xabari uning bashoratni talqin qilish qoidalari haqiqiy qoidalar ekanligi tasdiqlanganda qudrat bilan ta’sir etdi. Vaqtga oid bashoratning amalga oshishiga javoban, nafaqat Millerning qoidalari tasdiqlandi va shundan so‘ng ko‘plar Millerchilar harakatiga qo‘shildilar, balki bashorat nuqtai nazaridan ayniqsa ahamiyatli bo‘lgani shuki, tasdiqlangan narsa Miller qoidalarining bosh qoidasi edi. Shuningdek, bu tasdiq uch qayg‘uning ikkinchisiga oid bashoratni qo‘llash orqali amalga oshirilgani ham muhimdir; bu qayg‘ular ayni paytda beshinchi, oltinchi va yettinchi karnaylardir.

The empowerment of Miller’s message became one of the most significant waymarks of the Millerite reform movement. It had been typified by Jesus’ baptism. It marked that the final testing process of the former covenant people (the Protestants) had begun. It became the focus of Satan’s attack against the overall Millerite movement and message.

Millerning xabariga berilgan quvvat Millerchilar islohot harakatining eng muhim yo‘l belgilaridan biriga aylandi. Bu Iso Masihning suvga cho‘mishi bilan timsollangan edi. U avvalgi ahd xalqining (protestantlarning) yakuniy sinov jarayoni boshlanganini belgiladi. U Shaytonning butun Millerchilar harakati va xabariga qarshi qaratilgan hujumining markaziga aylandi.

> “Any question that Satan can arouse in the mind to create doubt in regard to the grand history of the past travels of the people of God will please his satanic majesty and is an offense to God. The tidings of the Lord’s soon coming in power and great glory to our world is truth, and in 1840 many voices were raised in its proclamation.” Manuscript Releases, volume 9, 134.

> “Xudoning xalqining o‘tmishdagi buyuk tarixiy yurishlari xususida shubha uyg‘otish uchun Shayton ongda qo‘zg‘ata oladigan har qanday savol uning shaytoniy ulug‘vorligini mamnun qiladi va Xudoga nisbatan haqoratdir. Rabbimizning qudrat va buyuk ulug‘vorlik ila tez orada dunyomizga kelishi haqidagi xabar haqiqatdir, va 1840 yilda uning e’lon qilinishida ko‘plab ovozlar ko‘tarilgan edi.” Manuscript Releases, 9-jild, 134.

On September 11, 2001 the third woe arrived into prophetic history. The event confirmed the primary rule of prophetic interpretation adopted by the movement of the third angel that began in 1989. The first truth opened up to the messenger of that reform movement was opened up in 1989, and it was not the last six verses of Daniel eleven. It was the truth that all the reform movements run parallel to each other and are to be brought together line upon line in order to identify the characteristics of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand which is the movement of the third angel. The first public presentation I ever gave was at a camp meeting in 1994, or perhaps 1995. The presentation was not on the last six verses of Daniel eleven, it was on the reform lines running parallel to each other.

2001-yil 11-sentyabrda uchinchi voy bashorat tarixiga kirib keldi. Bu hodisa 1989-yilda boshlangan uchinchi farishta harakati qabul qilgan bashoratni talqin etishning asosiy qoidasini tasdiqladi. O‘sha islohot harakatining xabarchisiga ochilgan birinchi haqiqat 1989-yilda ochildi va u Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobining oxirgi olti oyati emas edi. U barcha islohot harakatlari bir-biriga parallel ravishda kechishi va uchinchi farishta harakati bo‘lgan bir yuz qirq to‘rt ming kishining harakatiga xos xususiyatlarni aniqlash uchun satr ustiga satr tarzida birlashtirilishi kerakligi haqidagi haqiqat edi. Men omma oldida ilk bor qilgan taqdimotim 1994-yilda, yoki ehtimol 1995-yilda, lager yig‘inida bo‘lgan edi. Taqdimot Doniyor o‘n birinchi bobining oxirgi olti oyati haqida emas, balki bir-biriga parallel ravishda kechayotgan islohot yo‘nalishlari haqida edi.

When the prophecy of Islam of the third woe was fulfilled on September 11, 2001, it paralleled August 11, 1840. In 1840 a prophecy of the first and second woes confirmed the message of the Millerites, and on September 11, 2001 a prophecy of the third woe confirmed the message of Future for America. The recognition of that fact brought a multitude into the movement, where it had previously been primarily one individual. The message of the movement and the messenger then became under attack, just as the history of 1840 had become the focus of satanic attack through the decades that followed.

Uchinchi voyga oid Islom bashorati 2001-yil 11-sentabrda bajo bo‘lganida, bu 1840-yil 11-avgustga parallel edi. 1840-yilda birinchi va ikkinchi voylar haqidagi bashorat Millerchilarning xabarini tasdiqlagan edi, 2001-yil 11-sentabrda esa uchinchi voy haqidagi bashorat Future for America xabarini tasdiqladi. Ana shu haqiqatning tan olinishi ilgari asosan bitta shaxs bilan cheklangan harakat ichiga ko‘plab kishilarni olib kirdi. Shundan so‘ng, xuddi 1840-yil tarixi keyingi o‘n yilliklar davomida shaytoniy hujumning markaziga aylanganidek, harakatning xabari ham, xabarchisi ham hujum ostiga olindi.

Those who joined the movement of Future for America adopted the rules of prophetic interpretation assembled by the messenger of that history. One of those rules, perhaps the most significant of those rules was and is a triple application of prophecy. The messenger had come to understand that certain prophetic truths were illustrated upon three specific fulfillments. Believing that the Millerite history was repeated in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand it was seen that August 11, 1840 typified September 11, 2001, and that the other sacred reform lines also possessed that very same waymark.

Future for America harakatiga qo‘shilganlar o‘sha tarixning xabarchisi tomonidan jamlangan bashoratni talqin qilish qoidalarini qabul qildilar. O‘sha qoidalardan biri, ehtimol, u qoidalarning eng muhimlaridan biri, bashoratning uch karra tatbiqi edi va shunday bo‘lib qolmoqda. Xabarchi muayyan bashoriy haqiqatlar uchta aniq bajo bo‘lish orqali tasvirlanganini anglab yetgan edi. Millerchilar tarixi bir yuz qirq to‘rt mingning tarixida takrorlanganiga ishonilgan holda, 1840-yil 11-avgust 2001-yil 11-sentabrning timsoli ekani, shuningdek boshqa muqaddas islohot chiziqlari ham ayni o‘sha belgiga ega ekani ko‘rildi.

The evidence of the repetition of every sacred reform line in the line of the third angel was then opened up by the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was seen that just as the Millerite history fulfilled the parable of the ten virgins to the very letter, so too did the history of Future for America.

Muqaddas islohotning har bir qatorining uchinchi farishtaning qatorida takrorlanishiga doir dalil o‘shanda Yahudo qabilasining Arsloni tomonidan ochib berildi. Ko‘rildiki, Milleritlar tarixi o‘n bokira haqidagi masalni har bir jihatigacha aynan bajo keltirganidek, xuddi shunday “Future for America”ning tarixi ham shunday qildi.

> “I am often referred to the parable of the ten virgins, five of whom were wise, and five foolish. This parable has been and will be fulfilled to the very letter, for it has a special application to this time, and, like the third angel’s message, has been fulfilled and will continue to be present truth till the close of time.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

> “Men ko‘pincha o‘nta bokira qiz haqidagi masalga murojaat qilaman; ulardan beshtasi dono, beshtasi esa nodon edi. Bu masal eng mayda tafsilotigacha bajo bo‘lgan va bo‘ladi, chunki u aynan shu zamonga nisbatan alohida tatbiqqa ega bo‘lib, uchinchi farishtaning xabari kabi, bajo bo‘lgan va zamonning oxirigacha hozirgi haqiqat bo‘lib qolaveradi.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

The seven thunders of Revelation ten were recognized to identify that the experience of the Millerites from August 11, 1840 to October 22, 1844, and also the history of September 11, 2001 unto the soon-coming Sunday law.

Vahiy kitobining o‘ninchi bobidagi yetti momaqaldiroq 1840-yil 11-avgustdan 1844-yil 22-oktabrgacha bo‘lgan Millerchilar tajribasini, shuningdek 2001-yil 11-sentabrdan tez orada keladigan yakshanba qonunigacha bo‘lgan tarixni aniqlash uchun tanib olindi.

> “The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a delineation of events which would transpire under the first and second angels’ messages. . . .

> “Yuhannoga berilgan va yetti momaqaldiroqda ifodalangan maxsus nur birinchi va ikkinchi farishtalarning xabarlari ostida sodir bo‘ladigan voqealarning tasviri edi....”

> “After these seven thunders uttered their voices, the injunction comes to John as to Daniel in regard to the little book: ‘Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered.’ These relate to future events which will be disclosed in their order.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.

> “Bu yetti momaqaldiroq o‘z ovozlarini chiqarganlaridan so‘ng, Yuhannoga, kichik kitob borasida Doniyorga berilgan buyruqqa o‘xshash tarzda, shunday amr beriladi: «Yetti momaqaldiroq aytgan narsalarni muhrlab qo‘y». Bular kelajakdagi voqealarga taalluqlidir; ular o‘z navbatida oshkor etiladi.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 7-jild, 971.

It was recognized that Sister White directly said that the movement of the third angel runs parallel with the movement of the first and second angels.

Opa Uayt uchinchi farishtaning harakati birinchi va ikkinchi farishtalar harakati bilan parallel ravishda kechishini to‘g‘ridan-to‘g‘ri aytgani e’tirof etildi.

> “God has given the messages of Revelation 14 their place in the line of prophecy, and their work is not to cease till the close of this earth’s history. The first and second angel’s messages are still truth for this time, and are to run parallel with this which follows. The third angel proclaims his warning with a loud voice. ‘After these things,’ said John, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory.’ In this illumination, the light of all the three messages is combined.” The 1888 Materials, 803, 804.

> “Xudo Vahiy 14-bob xabarlariga bashoratlar silsilasida ularning o‘rnini bergan, va ularning ishi bu yer tarixining yakunigacha to‘xtamasligi kerak. Birinchi va ikkinchi farishtaning xabarlari hali-hanuz shu vaqt uchun haqiqatdir va ular bundan keyin keladigan ushbu xabar bilan yonma-yon davom etishi kerak. Uchinchi farishta o‘z ogohlantirishini baland ovoz bilan e’lon qiladi. ‘Bulardan keyin,’ dedi Yuhanno, ‘men osmondan yana bir farishta tushib kelayotganini ko‘rdim; u buyuk qudratga ega edi, va yer uning ulug‘vorligidan yorishdi.’ Ana shu yoritilishda uchala xabarning ham nuri birlashadi.” The 1888 Materials, 803, 804.

The movement of the first and second angels runs parallel with the movement of the third angel. The prophecy that empowered the movement of the first and second angel, was empowered by a fulfillment of a time prophecy of the first and second woe, and the empowerment of the movement of the third angel was empowered by a fulfillment of a prophecy of the third woe.

Birinchi va ikkinchi farishtaning harakati uchinchi farishtaning harakati bilan parallel ravishda kechadi. Birinchi va ikkinchi farishtaning harakatiga kuch bergan bashorat birinchi va ikkinchi voyga oid vaqt bashoratining bajo bo‘lishi orqali quvvatlangan edi, uchinchi farishtaning harakatiga berilgan quvvat esa uchinchi voy haqidagi bashoratning bajo bo‘lishi orqali quvvatlangan edi.

As with August 11, 1840, when the message of Future for America was confirmed “multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted” by Future for America, and “a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement.” “Men of learning and position united” with Future for America, “both in preaching and in publishing” the prophetic message of Future for America. The specific rule of Future for America which clearly confirmed September 11, 2001 as a fulfillment of prophecy was a “triple application of prophecy.”

1840-yil 11-avgustdagi voqea bilan bo‘lgani kabi, Future for America xabari tasdiqlanganda, Future for America tomonidan qabul qilingan “bashoratni talqin qilish tamoyillarining to‘g‘riligi”ga “ko‘pchilik ishondi” va “advent harakatiga ajoyib bir turtki berildi.” “Ilmli va martabali kishilar” Future for America bilan “ham va’z qilishda, ham nashr etishda” Future for America’ning bashoratli xabarini yetkazishda birlashdilar. Future for America’ning 2001-yil 11-sentabrni bashoratning amalga oshishi sifatida aniq tasdiqlagan muayyan qoidasi “bashoratning uch karra qo‘llanilishi” edi.

When we accept the foundational view of Islam of the first and second woes, as represented on both sacred charts, in conjunction with the written testimony of those who taught the message, we recognize specific prophetic characteristics associated with the first woe, and the second woe. The Bible repeatedly teaches, in a variety of ways, that truth is established upon the testimony of two. The prophetic characteristics of the first woe, combined with the prophetic characteristics of the second woe, establishes the prophetic characteristics of the third woe. The triple application of Islam is so specific in identifying the arrival of the third woe on September 11, 2001, that it is impossible not to see, though most choose to close their eyes to the evidence.

Muqaddas jadvallarning har ikkalasida tasvirlanganidek, Islomning birinchi va ikkinchi vaylar haqidagi asosiy qarashini, ushbu xabarni o‘rgatganlarning yozma guvohligi bilan birga qabul qilganimizda, biz birinchi vay va ikkinchi vay bilan bog‘liq muayyan bashoratli xususiyatlarni anglaymiz. Muqaddas Kitob qayta-qayta, turli yo‘llar bilan, haqiqat ikki kishining guvohligi asosida tasdiqlanishini o‘rgatadi. Birinchi vayning bashoratli xususiyatlari ikkinchi vayning bashoratli xususiyatlari bilan birlashganda, uchinchi vayning bashoratli xususiyatlarini belgilab beradi. Islomning uch karra tatbiqi 2001-yil 11-sentabrda uchinchi vayning kelganini aniqlashda shu qadar aniqki, buni ko‘rmaslikning iloji yo‘q, garchi ko‘pchilik dalillarga ko‘z yumishni tanlasa ham.

The triple application of prophecy firmly established that the third woe arrived on September 11, 2001. It was then seen that the rule had been directly associated with the second angel’s message, which in the time of the Millerites and also in the time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the period when the Holy Spirit is poured out. Both histories are a fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, and in the parable the message of the Midnight Cry is where the distinction between the wise and foolish is manifested, and it is where the message of the second angel is empowered.

Bashoratning uch martalik tatbiqi uchinchi voy 2001-yil 11-sentabrda yetib kelganini qat’iy ravishda tasdiqladi. Shundan keyin bu qoida bevosita ikkinchi farishtaning xabari bilan bog‘liq ekani ko‘rindi; bu esa milleritchilar davrida ham, shuningdek, yuz qirq to‘rt mingning davrida ham Muqaddas Ruh to‘kiladigan davrdir. Har ikkala tarix ham o‘n bokira haqidagi masalning bajo bo‘lishidir, va masalda Donishmandlar bilan nodonlar o‘rtasidagi farq Yarim tunda yangragan nido xabarida namoyon bo‘ladi, hamda aynan o‘sha yerda ikkinchi farishtaning xabari qudrat bilan ta’minlanadi.

> “Near the close of the second angel’s message, I saw a great light from heaven shining upon the people of God. The rays of this light seemed bright as the sun. And I heard the voices of angels crying, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!’

> «Ikkinchi farishtaning xabarining yakuniga yaqin men osmondan Xudoning xalqi uzra porlab turgan buyuk bir nurni ko‘rdim. Bu nurning shu’lalari quyoshdek yorqin ko‘rinar edi. Va men farishtalarning ovozlarini eshitdim; ular shunday deb hayqirar edilar: “Mana, Kuyov kelmoqda; Uni kutib olish uchun tashqariga chiqinglar!”»

> “This was the midnight cry, which was to give power to the second angel’s message. Angels were sent from heaven to arouse the discouraged saints and prepare them for the great work before them. The most talented men were not the first to receive this message. Angels were sent to the humble, devoted ones, and constrained them to raise the cry, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!’” Early Writings, 238.

> “Bu yarim tun faryodi edi; u ikkinchi farishtaning xabariga kuch bag‘ishlashi kerak edi. Tushkunlikka tushgan muqaddaslarni uyg‘otish va ularni oldilaridagi buyuk ishga tayyorlash uchun osmondan farishtalar yuborildi. Eng iste’dodli kishilar bu xabarni birinchi bo‘lib qabul qilganlar emas edi. Farishtalar kamtarin va fidoyi zotlarga yuborildi hamda ularni shunday faryod ko‘tarishga undadi: ‘Mana, Kuyov kelmoqda; Uni kutib olish uchun chiqib boringlar!’” Early Writings, 238.

In the history of the first and second angels, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is accomplished by the Midnight Cry joining the second angels’ message. This is repeated in the history of the third angel.

Birinchi va ikkinchi farishtalar tarixida Muqaddas Ruhning to‘kilishi Yarim tun faryodining ikkinchi farishtaning xabariga qo‘shilishi orqali amalga oshadi. Bu uchinchi farishta tarixida takrorlanadi.

> “Angels were sent to aid the mighty angel from heaven, and I heard voices which seemed to sound everywhere, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. This message seemed to be an addition to the third message, and joined it, as the midnight cry joined the second angel’s message in 1844. The glory of God rested upon the patient, waiting saints, and they fearlessly gave the last solemn warning, proclaiming the fall of Babylon, and calling upon God’s people to come out of her; that they might escape her fearful doom.” Spiritual Gifts, volume 1, 195.

> “Osmondagi qudratli farishtaga yordam berish uchun farishtalar yuborildi, va men hamma yoqdan yangrayotgandek tuyulgan ovozlarni eshitdim: Undan chiqinglar, ey Mening xalqim, toki uning gunohlariga sherik bo‘lmanglar va uning balolaridan ulush olmanglar; chunki uning gunohlari osmongacha yetdi, va Xudo uning qabihliklarini esladi. Bu xabar uchinchi xabarga qo‘shimcha bo‘lib tuyuldi va 1844-yilda yarim tun faryodi ikkinchi farishtaning xabariga qo‘shilgani kabi, unga qo‘shildi. Xudoning ulug‘vorligi sabrli, kutayotgan azizlar ustida turar edi, va ular qo‘rqmasdan so‘nggi tantanali ogohlantirishni berdilar, Bobilning qulaganini e’lon qilib, Xudoning xalqini undan chiqishga da’vat etdilar; toki ular uning dahshatli qismatidan qutulsinlar.” Spiritual Gifts, volume 1, 195.

In terms of a triple application of prophecy, the second angel’s message represents a triple application of prophecy, for the message in either history is Babylon twice fallen.

Bashoratning uch karra tatbiqi nuqtai nazaridan, ikkinchi farishtaning xabari bashoratning uch karra tatbiqini ifodalaydi, chunki xabar har ikki tarixda ham Bobilning ikki marta yiqilganidir.

> And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Revelation 14:8.

> Shundan so‘ng yana bir farishta ergashib kelib, shunday dedi: “Bobil yiqildi, yiqildi, o‘sha buyuk shahar; chunki u barcha xalqlarga o‘z zinosi g‘azabining sharobidan ichirdi.” Vahiy 14:8.

The mighty angel of Revelation ten descended with the fulfillment of a prophecy of the first and second woe on August 11, 1840, and in so doing it typified the descent of the mighty angel of Revelation chapter eighteen on September 11, 2001. That angel who lightens the earth with His glory then made a proclamation.

Vahiy 10-bobdagi qudratli farishta 1840-yil 11-avgustda birinchi va ikkinchi voy haqidagi bashoratning amalga oshishi bilan nozil bo‘ldi va shu orqali u 2001-yil 11-sentabrda Vahiy 18-bobdagi qudratli farishtaning nozil bo‘lishining timsoli bo‘ldi. O‘z ulug‘vorligi bilan yer yuzini yoritadigan o‘sha farishta shundan so‘ng bir e’lon qildi.

> 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. Revelation 18:2.

> Va u qattiq ovoz bilan qudratli tarzda nido qilib dedi: Buyuk Bobil quladi, quladi va jinlarning maskaniga, har bir nopok ruhning qo‘rg‘oniga hamda har bir nopok va jirkanch qushning qafasiga aylandi. Vahiy 18:2.

The message of the second angel of chapter fourteen, and of the mighty angel of chapter eighteen is identifying that Babylon has twice fallen, and the message is identifying Babylon of the last days. It identifies Babylon of the last days, for the two times Babylon previously fell in the time of Nimrod, and in the time of Nebuchadnezzar unto Belshazzar establishes the prophetic characteristics of the fall of the whore of Revelation seventeen who has written on her forehead, “Babylon the Great.” To identify that fall of Babylon in the last days requires the two witnesses of the two previous falls of Babylon, for the message of the last days is Babylon is fallen, is fallen. When the mighty angel descended when the great buildings of New York City were brought down by a touch of God, by His proclamation He identifies the rule of a triple application of prophecy. The triple application of prophecy that established September 11, 2001 as a fulfillment of God’s prophetic Word was the triple application of the three woes.

O‘n to‘rtinchi bobdagi ikkinchi farishtaning va o‘n sakkizinchi bobdagi qudratli farishtaning xabari Bobilning ikki marta qulaganini ko‘rsatadi, va bu xabar oxirgi kunlarning Bobilini aniqlab beradi. U oxirgi kunlarning Bobilini aniqlab beradi, chunki Bobilning ilgari ikki marta — Nimrod davrida hamda Navuxadnazar davridan Belshazargacha bo‘lgan davrda — qulagani, peshonasiga “Buyuk Bobil” deb yozilgan Vahiy kitobining o‘n yettinchi bobidagi fohishaning qulashiga xos payg‘ambarlik xususiyatlarini belgilab beradi. Oxirgi kunlardagi Bobilning o‘sha qulashini aniqlash uchun Bobilning avvalgi ikki qulashining ikki guvohi talab etiladi, chunki oxirgi kunlarning xabari shudir: “Bobil quladi, quladi.” Qudratli farishta nozil bo‘lganida, Xudoning bir tegishi bilan Nyu-York shahrining ulkan binolari qulatilgan paytda, U O‘zining e’loni orqali payg‘ambarlikning uch karra tatbiq etilishi qoidasini ko‘rsatadi. 2001-yil 11-sentabrni Xudoning payg‘ambarlik Kalomining bajo bo‘lishi sifatida tasdiqlagan payg‘ambarlikning uch karra tatbiqi uchta voyaning uch karra tatbiqi edi.

At that fulfillment many joined the movement of Future for America, and they were convinced of the principles of prophetic interpretation that had been employed by Future for America. August 11, 1840 repeated, and in so doing the repetition did not confirm the primary rule of Miller, that being that a day represents a year in Bible prophecy, for the primary rule of Future for America was that the Millerite history of the first and second angels’ messages is repeated in the history of the movement of the third angel.

O‘sha amalga oshish paytida ko‘plar Future for America harakatiga qo‘shildilar va Future for America qo‘llagan bashoratni talqin qilish tamoyillariga ishonch hosil qildilar. 1840-yil 11-avgust takrorlandi va shu tariqa bu takrorlanish Millarning asosiy qoidasini, ya’ni Muqaddas Kitob bashoratida bir kun bir yilni ifodalashini, tasdiqlamadi; chunki Future for America’ning asosiy qoidasi shundan iborat ediki, birinchi va ikkinchi farishtalar xabarlarining Millerit tarixidagi voqealari uchinchi farishta harakati tarixida takrorlanadi.

It seems self-evident that if the year 1840 became a specific attack of his satanic majesty, as Sister White identifies Satan, then the history of September 11, 2001 would also be subject to a similar attack. Thus, we find conspiracy theories identifying the role of the globalist, or the Jesuits, or the CIA, or the Bushes or some combination of those powers. Those theories, though containing some elements of truth are designed to refute the idea that it was a touch from God that brought down the great buildings of New York City, thus marking the arrival of the third woe into the history of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

O‘z-o‘zidan ravshanki, agar 1840-yil, Sister White Shaytonni ataganidek, uning shaytoniy oliy hazratining maxsus bir hujumiga aylangan bo‘lsa, unda 2001-yil 11-sentyabr tarixi ham xuddi shunday hujumga duchor bo‘lishi kerak edi. Shunday ekan, biz globalistlarning, yoki iyezuitlarning, yoki CIAning, yoki Bushlar oilasining, yoxud o‘sha kuchlarning qandaydir birikmasining rolini ko‘rsatadigan fitna nazariyalarini uchratamiz. Bu nazariyalar, garchi o‘z ichiga ayrim haqiqat unsurlarini olgan bo‘lsa-da, Nyu-York shahrining ulkan binolarini qulatgan narsa Xudodan bo‘lgan bir tegish edi, degan fikrni rad etish uchun mo‘ljallangandir; shu orqali uchinchi voy 144 minglik harakat tarixiga kirib kelganini belgilagan edi.

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

> “Endi esa men Nyu-Yorkni suv to‘lqini supurib ketadi, deb e’lon qilganman, degan gap kelib chiqmoqdami? Men buni hech qachon aytmaganman. Men u yerda qavatma-qavat ko‘tarilayotgan ulkan binolarga qarab shunday deganman: ‘Egamiz yerni dahshatli larzaga keltirish uchun o‘rnidan turganida, naqadar dahshatli manzaralar yuz beradi! Ana shunda Vahiy 18:1–3 dagi so‘zlar bajo bo‘ladi.’ Vahiyning o‘n sakkizinchi bobining barchasi yer yuziga kelayotgan narsalar haqida ogohlantirishdir. Ammo Nyu-York ustiga nima kelishi to‘g‘risida menga alohida yorug‘lik berilmagan; faqat shuni bilamanki, bir kuni u yerdagi ulkan binolar Xudoning qudrati aylantirib-ag‘darishi bilan qulab tushadi. Menga berilgan yorug‘likdan bilamanki, dunyoda halokat bor. Egadan chiqqan bir so‘z, Uning qudratli quvvatining bir tegishi — va bu ulkan inshootlar qulab tushadi. Dahshatliligini tasavvur qila olmaydigan manzaralar yuz beradi.” Review and Herald, 1906-yil 5-iyul.

The conspiracy theories, whether containing no truth or partial truths all undermine the truth that it was God’s providential activity that brought about the events of that date. Those various conspiracy theories are Satan’s attack from the outside of the movement against the truth, but he also worked to undermine the truth from within the movement. One of those internal attacks is based upon a rejection of Rome as the subject of the book of Joel.

Fitna nazariyalari, ularda umuman haqiqat bo‘lmasin yoki qisman haqiqatlar mavjud bo‘lsin, barchasi o‘sha sana voqealarini yuzaga keltirgan narsa Xudoning inoyatli taqdiri amali bo‘lganligi haqidagi haqiqatni zaiflashtiradi. Bu turli fitna nazariyalari haqiqatga qarshi harakatning tashqarisidan bo‘lgan Shaytonning hujumidir, biroq u haqiqatni harakatning ichkarisidan ham yemirish uchun ish olib bordi. Ana shu ichki hujumlardan biri Yoel kitobining mavzusi sifatida Rimni rad etishga asoslanadi.

We will consider that controversy in the next article.

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

> The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. Joel 1:1–6.

> Pethu’el o‘g‘li Yo‘elga kelgan Egamizning kalomi. Ey qariyalar, buni eshiting, va quloq soling, ey yurtning barcha aholisi. Bu sizlarning kunlaringizda bo‘lganmidi yoki otalaringizning kunlarida ham bo‘lganmidi? Bu haqda farzandlaringizga aytinglar, farzandlaringiz o‘z farzandlariga aytsinlar, ularning farzandlari esa keyingi avlodga aytsinlar. Chigirtkaning bir turi qoldirganini boshqa chigirtka yedi; boshqa chigirtka qoldirganini kemiruvchi qurt yedi; kemiruvchi qurt qoldirganini esa qurt-qumursqa yedi. Uyg‘oninglar, ey mastlar, va yig‘langlar; dod-voy qilinglar, ey sharob ichuvchilarning barchasi, yangi sharob sababli; chunki u og‘zingizdan uzib tashlandi. Zero, Mening yurtim ustiga qudratli va son-sanoqsiz bir xalq bostirib keldi; uning tishlari sherning tishlariday, jag‘ tishlari esa urg‘ochi sherning jag‘ tishlaridaydir. Yo‘el 1:1–6.
