Elijah - Ennamba Bbiri

Enkumi za abantu zaatwalibwa okukkiriza amazima agabuulibwa William Miller, era abaddu ba Katonda ne bazuukizibwa mu mwoyo n’amaanyi ga Eriya okulangirira obubaka. Nga Yokaana, omubanjirizi wa Yesu, abo abaabuulira obubaka buno obw’obunywevu ne bawulira nga basaanidde okuteeka ensala ku mizi gy’omuti, ne bayita abantu okuzaala ebibala ebikwatagana n’okwenenya. Obujulirwa bwabwe bwali bwa kuleetera okuzuukuka era okukosa amakanisa mu maanyi, ne bubikkula obw’obuntu bwazo obutuufu. Era bwe wali wawuulirwa okulabula okunywevu okw’okudduka okuva mu busungu obugenda okujja, abangi abaali bagattiddwa n’amakanisa ne bakkiriza obubaka obuwonya; ne balaba okuddayo emabega kwabwe, era ne beekaabira n’amaziga ag’okwenenya ag’amaanyi n’ennaku ennyo ey’omu mmeme, ne beetoowaza mu maaso ga Katonda. Era Omwoyo wa Katonda bwe yatuula ku bo, ne bayamba okulangirira nti, ‘Mutye Katonda, mumuwe ekitiibwa; kubanga essaawa y’okusala kwe omusango etuuse.’ Early Writings, 233.

Eddoboozi lya Yokaana lyayimusibwa ng’ekkondeere. Omulimu gwe yagabirwa gwali, ‘Obalage abantu bange obujeemu bwabwe, n’ennyumba ya Yakobo ebibi byabwe’ (Isaaya 58:1). Teyali afunye buyigirize bwa bantu. Katonda n’obutonde baali abayigirizi be. Naye waali wetaagibwa omu okutegekera Kristo ekkubo mu maaso ge, alina obugumu okukaza eddoboozi lye ng’abannabbi ab’edda, ng’ayita eggwanga eryonoonefu mu kwenenya.

"Tëkyabangawo obwetaavu obusinga okufuna obulabula obwesigwa n’okunenya, n’okukola mu butuufu obutereevu, okusinga mu kaseera kano. Setaani azze wansi n’amaanyi amanene, ng’amanyi nti obudde bwe bubuzeemu. Ajjuza ensi engéro ezisanyusa, era abantu ba Katonda baagala okubategeezebwa ebigambo ebirungi ebisaanagana nabo. Ekibi n’obujeemu tebikyayibwa. Nnalagibwa nti abantu ba Katonda balina okufuba n’obumalirivu obusinga okusindikira emabega enzikiza ey’ayingira. Omulimu ogw’okwekeneenya ennyo ogw’a Mwoyo wa Katonda gwetaagibwa kaakano nga tekibaddeko kufaananako. Obusiru bulina okukunkumulwa. Tulina okuzuukuka okuva mu kusinzira okunaatuletera okuzikirira singa tetukuwakanya. Setaani alina obuyinza obw’amaanyi obutawala emitima. Ababuulizi n’abantu bali mu kabi okuzuulibwa nga bali ku ludda lw’amaanyi g’ennzikiza. Tewali mbeera ya kubeera wakati kaakano. Ffenna tuli ddala ku ludda olutuufu oba ddala ku ludda olutali lutufu. Kristo yagamba: ‘Atali wamu nange ali kunnegana; era atakuŋŋaanyiza nange asasaanya.’" Obujulizi, voliyumu 3, 327.

Amazima nga bwe gali mu Yesu, nga bwe yakibuulira ye mu kiseera lwe yali asiikirirwa ekire ekifumvufumvu, kye mazima ddala mu nnaku zaffe zino, era kirikyusa ddala obulowoozo bw’omuwulira, nga bwe kyakyusa obulowoozo mu biseera ebyayita. Kristo yayogera nti, ‘Bwe batawulira Musa n’Abannabbi, tebalikkakanyizibwa, newaakubadde nga waliwo omu azuukidde mu bafu.’ (Lukka 16:31).

Nga abantu, tuteekwa okutereeza ekkubo lya Mukama, nga tukulemberwa n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu buyinza bwe obusukkiridde, olw’okusaasaana kw’Enjiri mu bulongoofu bwayo. Omugga gw’amazzi ag’obulamu guliyongera okuzama era okugaziwa mu kkubo lyagwo. Mu nnimiro zonna, ez’okumpi n’eza wala, abantu bajja okuyitibwa okuva mu kulima, ne okuva mu mirimu egy’obusuubuzi egy’obulijjo egibanyigirizamu ebirowoozo, era bajja okuyigirizibwa wamu n’abalina obumanyirivu—abo abategeera amazima. Mu bikolwa eby’ekitalo bya Katonda, ensozi z’obuzibu zijja kuggyibwawo ne zisuulibwa mu nnyanja. Tukole ng’abo abayiseemu omugaso gw’amazima nga bwe kiri mu Yesu.

Waliwo mu kaseera kano olunyiriri lw’ebintu ebinaabikkula nti Katonda ye afuga embeera. Amazima galilangirirwa mu njogera ennyangu, etelimu kubuusabuusa. Abo ababuulira amazima balikola obunyiikivu okulaga amazima mu bulamu obutegekeddwa obulungi n’emboozi ey’okutya Katonda. Era nga bwe bakola bwe batyo, banabeera ba maanyi mu kuwagira amazima, era mu okuliteeka mu nkola mu ngeri ey’ekakasa, nga bwe Katonda yakiragirira.

“Bwe kiba nti abasajja abaamaze okumanya era ne bayigiriza amazima bawugira ne beetwala ku magezi g’abantu, ne bagabira emyoyo egyakyamibwa engero zaabwe ez’obulimba, ddala kituuse ekiseera eri abo abaali bakozzi mu mulimu gw’okubuulira Enjiri, naye abaavaamu ne batwalibwa mu kuddukanya mayumba g’okulya, amaterekero g’emmere, n’emirimu emirala egy’obusuubuzi, okuddayo mu mulongo, ne bayiga Baibuli zaabwe n’obunyiikivu, era nga ekigambo kya Katonda kiri mu mikono gyabwe, okugabira amazima ga Baibuli, emmere ey’Omwoyo, nga bakolagana n’abamalayika b’omu ggulu. Omulimu guno kati gukoowoola nnyo nga gwetaaga bakozi abalondebwa Katonda. Obuyinza obusukkiridde olwo buligamba eri ensozi z’obuzibu nti, Muggibwewo, musuulibwe mu nnyanja.” Paulson Collection, 73, 74.

Omulimu wa Yokaana Omubatiza n’omulimu gw’abo abavaayo mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma mu Mwoyo n’amaanyi ga Eriya okuzuukusa abantu okuva mu butafaayo bwabwe, mu bintu bingi biba bimu. Omulimu gwe kifaananyi ky’omulimu oguteekwa okukolebwa mu mulembe guno. Kristo alikomawo omulundi ogw’okubiri okusala omusango ku nsi mu butuukirivu. Abatumwa ba Katonda abaleeta obubaka obw’enkomerero obw’okulabula obugenda okuweebwa ensi, balina okuteekateeka ekkubo ery’okudda kwa Kristo omulundi ogw’okubiri, nga Yokaana bwe yateekateekera ekkubo okujja kwe okalubereberye. Mu mulimu guno ogw’okuteekateeka, ‘buli kiwonvu kiririnnulwa, buli lusozi lulikendeezebwa; ebikyamye biriteereezebwa, n’ebifo ebijeramye birifuuka olusaanu’ kubanga ebyafaayo bigenda kuddamu, era nate ‘ekitiibwa kya Mukama kirirabisibwa, n’omubiri gwonna gulikiraba awamu; kubanga akamwa ka Mukama ke kagamye.’ Southern Watchman, March 21, 1905.

Eddoboozi ly’oyo akaaba mu ddungu nti, Mutegekere Mukama ekkubo; mugolole mu ddungu oluguudo olukulu eri Katonda waffe. Amaddiba gonna ganaagulumizibwa, n’ensozi zonna n’obusozi bwonna binaakendeezebwa; ebiyongobese binaagololwa, n’ebifo ebiruwawu binaafuuka bitereevu. Era ekitiibwa kya Mukama kinaabikkulibwa, ne abantu bonna banaakiraba awamu; kubanga akamwa ka Mukama kakiyogedde. Isaaya 40:3-5.

Era kino kye bujulirwa bwa Yokaana, Abayudaaya bwe baatumira okuva e Yerusaalemi bakabona n’Abaleevi okumubuuza nti, Ggwe ani? N’akkiriza, n’atagaana; naye n’akkiriza nti, Si nze Kristo. Ne bamubuuza nti, Kale kiki? Ggwe Eriya? N’abagamba nti, Si nze. Ggwe nnabbi oyo? N’addamu nti, Nedda. Awo ne bamugamba nti, Kale ggwe ani, tulyoke tubaddize abo abaatutuma. Ogamba ki ku ggwe mwenyini? N’agamba nti, Nze ddoboozi ly’oyo ayogerera mu ddungu nti, Mutereeze ekkubo lya Mukama, nga nnabbi Isaaya bwe yagamba. Yokaana 1:19-23.

"Obunnabbi bulina okutuukirizibwa. Mukama agamba: 'Laba, ndibatuma Eriya nnabbi nga tekunnaba kutuuka olunaku olukulu era olw’entiisa lwa Mukama.' Waliwo anaajja mu mwoyo n’amaanyi ga Eriya, [Laba ekyongerwako.] era bw’alabika, abantu bayinza okugamba: 'Oli munyiikivu nnyo; tonnyonnyola Ebyawandiikibwa mu ngeri entuufu. Ka nkutegeeze engeri gy’olina okuyigiriza obubaka bwo.'"

"Waliwo bangi abatayinza okuwawula wakati w’omulimu gwa Katonda n’ogw’omuntu. Nja kuyogera amazima nga Katonda bw’angampa, era kaakano njogera nti, bwe mulyongera okunoonya nsobi, n’okubeeramu omwoyo ogw’obutakkaanya, temujja kutegeera mazima. Yesu yagamba abayigirizwa be nti, ‘Nnina n’ebintu bingi by’okubagamba, naye kaakano temusobola kubigumiikiriza.’ Tebaali mu mbeera ey’okusiima n’okutegeera ebitukuvu n’ebintu eby’obutaggwaawo; naye Yesu yasuubiza okusindika Omuyambi, anaabayigiriza ebintu byonna, era anabajjukiza byonna bye yabagamba eri bo."

Ab’oluganda, tetusaanidde kuteeka okwesiga kwaffe mu muntu. ‘Mukomye ku muntu, omukka gwe guli mu nnyindo ze; kubanga alibalirwangako ki?’ Mwetaagisa okwesigamiza emyoyo gyammwe egitaliimu buyambi ku Yesu. Tekisaanidde ffe okunywa ku nsulo ey’omu kiwonvu nga waliwo ensulo ku lusozi. Tuleke emigga egy’ewansi; tugende eri ensulo ez’ewaggulu. Bw’owulira nga waliwo ekimu ku mazima ky’otomanyi bulungi, oba ky’otomukkaanyaako, kinoonyerezeeko, gereranya Ebyawandiikibwa n’Ebyawandiikibwa, muyimbe okutuuka wansi nnyo mu Kigambo kya Katonda, mussiimise omusingi gw’amazima. Mwetaagisa okuteeka mmwe kennyini n’ebirowoozo byammwe ku kyoto kya Katonda, muggyewo endowooza ze mwateekateeka mu mitwe gyammwe edda, era mukkirize Omwoyo ow’omu ggulu abaluŋŋamye mu mazima gonna. Obujulizi eri Abasumba, 475, 476.

Waliwo agenda okujja mu omwoyo n’amaanyi ga Eriya: Ebigambo bino abantu abamu babikozesezza mu bukyamu ne babiteekera ku muntu omu gwe baalowooza nti agenda kuboneka n’obubaka bw’obunnabbi oluvannyuma lw’obulamu n’omulimu gwa Ellen White. Ebitundu bisatu ebikola wano ekitundu eky’omutwe ‘Muleke Eggulu likulembeze’ byokka byali kitundu kitono ku njogera Ellen White gye yawayo e Battle Creek, Michigan, enkya ya Januwale 29, 1890. Bino byawandiikibwa mu Review and Herald ey’e Febwali 18, 1890, nga byalina omutwe ogugamba nti ‘Engeri y’okusisinkana ensonga y’enjigiriza ewakanyizibwako.’ Ebyatwalibwa okuva mu kiwandiiko kino ebirala, ebyakozesebwa nnyo okujjuzamu emiko egy’enjawulo mu kitabo kino, bisangibwa ku miko 23, 104, 111, 119, 158, 278, ne 386. Ekiwandiiko kyonna kyawandikiddwa nate kyonna bulikimu mu Selected Messages 1:406-416, nga ekitundu ekirimu akatoolo akayitibwa ‘Muleke Eggulu likulembeze’ kaboneka ku miko 412 ne 413. Bwe kisomebwa kyonna, kiba kyangu okulabika nti Ellen White, mu kigambo kino kye yayogera nga wayiseewo ekiseera ekitono ekisukka mu mwaka gumu okuva ku Konferensi e Minneapolis eri ekibiina e Battle Creek, yali ayogerako obuweereza bwe. Abamu baali batandise okunenyeza omulimu gwe. Mwegendereze nti mu akatundu akukulembera akalabikira mu kitabo kino ku muko 475, Ellen White agamba nti:

'Tuyingire mu mbeera mwe obutakkaanya bwonna buggweewo. Bwe ndowooza nti nnina ekitangaala, ndikola omulimu gwange okukiyanjula. Nga bwe mba nneebuuzizza abalala ku bubaka Mukama bw'andinsabye okuwa abantu, oluggi lusobola okuggalwa ne kitangaala ne kirema okutuuka eri abo Katonda be y'akisindikira. Bwe Yesu yayingira mu Yerusaalemi ng'ayebbaala, `ekibinja kyonna ky'abayigirizwa ne batandika okusanyuka era ne batendereza Katonda n'eddoboozi ddene olw'ebikolwa eby'amaanyi byonna bye baalabye; nga boogera nti, Aweereddwa omukisa Kabaka ajja mu linnya lya Mukama: mirembe mu ggulu, n'ekitiibwa mu waggulu ennyo. Era abamu ku Bafalisaayo ab'omu kibiina ne bamugamba nti, Omuyigiriza, nenya abayigirizwa bo. Naye n'abaddamu n'abagamba nti, Mbategeeza nti, singa bano basirika, amayinja galyoka gekaaba amangu ddala' (Luka 19:37-40).

Abayudaaya baagezaako okuziyiza okulangirirwa kw’obubaka obwabadde bwategeezebwa edda mu Kigambo kya Katonda.

Oluvannyuma n’addamu okwogerako ku bumanyirivu bwe obwennyini:

'Obunnabbi bulina okutuukirizibwa. Mukama agamba nti, "Laba, ndibatumira Eriya nnabbi nga tekunnaba kutuuka olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu era olw’entiisa" (Malaki 4:5). Waliwo alina okujja mu mwoyo n’obuyinza bwa Eriya, era bw’anaalabika, abantu bayinza okugamba nti, "Oli munyiikivu nnyo, totonnyonnyola Ebyawandiikibwa mu ngeri entuufu."-Selected Messages, volume 1, 412.

Okuba nti yali ayogerako ku ebyo bye yayitamu ye yennyini, kyeyoleka bulungi mu kitundu ekigoberera, mwe ategeeza nti:

'Nja kugamba amazima nga Katonda bw'angampa....' Ekyongerwako ku Obujulizi eri Abasumba.

Laba, ndibatumira Eriya nnabbi nga tekinaba kutuuka olunaku olukulu era olw'ekitalo olwa Mukama. Malaki 4:5.

Era ekitiibwa kya Mukama kijja kubikkulirwa, n'omubiri gwonna gunaakilaba awamu: kubanga akamwa ka Mukama ke kakiyogedde. Isaaya 40:5.

Amateeka ga Katonda agali Ewatukuvu mu ggulu gasookera ddala; ebiragiro ebyawandiikibwa ku bipande by’amayinja era ne byawandiikibwa Musa mu Bitabo Ebitaano byali kopi entuufu etalimu nsobi. Abo abaatuuka ku kutegeera ensonga eno ey’omugaso ne baleetebwa okulaba obutukuvu n’obutakyuka bw’amateeka ga Katonda. Ne balaba, nga bwe tebalangako, amaanyi g’ebigambo by’Omulokozi: ‘Okutuusa eggulu n’ensi lwe binaayitawo, tewaliggwa mu Mateeka wadde akanyukuta akatono oba akabonero akatono.’ Matayo 5:18. Amateeka ga Katonda, kubanga gavumbula okwagala kwe era nga ge kopi ey’empisa ze, galina okweyimirizaawo emirembe gyonna, ‘nga omujulirwa omwesigwa mu ggulu.’ Tewali kiragiro na kimu kigibwawo; tewali kanyukuta wadde akabonero akatono akakyusiddwa. Omuwandiisi wa Zabbuli agamba: ‘Emirembe gyonna, ai Mukama, ekigambo kyo kikakasiddwa mu ggulu.’ ‘Ebiragiro bye byonna byesigika; biyimiriddewo emirembe n’emirembe.’ Zabbuli 119:89; 111:7, 8. Olutalo Olukulu, 434.

Tulina okumanya ffe ffennyini obukristaayo bwe buki, amazima kye ki, okukkiriza kwe twafuna kuli ki, n’ebiragiro bya Bayibuli—ebiragiro bye twawereddwa okuva eri obuyinza obusukkiridde. Waliwo bangi abakkiriza nga tebalina nsonga gyebasimbira okukkiriza kwabwe, nga tebalina obujulizi obumala ku mazima g’ensonga. Bwe wabaawo endowooza evaayo egasaana n’ebirowoozo bye baabadde beekozezza edda, bonna baba bategekedde okugikkiriza. Tebalowooza okuva ku kivuddeko okutuuka ku kivuddemu, okukkiriza kwabwe tekulina musingi gw’amazima, era mu kiseera ky’okugezibwa balizuula nti bazimbye ku musenyu.

Oyo abeera asanyufu n’akkiriza nti okumanya kwe okw’essaawa eno okutali kwatuukirivu ku Byawandiikibwa kumumala okulokolebwa, abeera yeewummudde mu bukuusa obw’obulabe obw’okufa. Waliwo bangi abatajjuziddwa bulungi n’ebiwakanya ebiva mu Byawandiikibwa, ebyandibayambye okuzuula ensobi n’okulangira ennono n’obukomisayo bwonna obwateekeddwawo ng’amazima. Setaani aleese endowooza ze mu kusinza Katonda, alyoke avunduze obutereevu bw’Enjiri ya Kristo. Bangi abegamba nti bakkiriza amazima ag’essaawa eno tebamanyi ki ekifuga okukkiriza okwaawaayo edda eri abatukuvu, Kristo mu mmwe, essuubi ly’ekitiibwa. Bateebereza nti balwanirira obubonero obw’edda, naye tebali bagumu era tebafaayo. Tebamanyi kye kitegeeza okutunga mu bumanyirivu bwabwe era okubeera n’omutindo omutuufu ogw’okwagala n’okukkiriza. Si basomi ba Bayibuli abennyongeddeko; balina obugayaavu era batakyetegereza. Bwe zibuka enjawulo z’ebirowoozo ku ebyawandiiko, abo abatayigira nga balina ekigendererwa era abatasazeewo kye bakkiriza bava ku mazima. Kiteekwa okusimbibwa mu mitima gya bonna obwetaavu bw’okunoonya n’obunyiikivu mu mazima ga Katonda, balyoke bamanye nti ddala bamanyi amazima kye kiri. Abamu bagamba nti balina okumanya kungi ne bakkuta n’embeera yaabwe, nga tebalina bugumu bw’omulimu, newaakubadde okwagala okunyiikira eri Katonda n’eri emyoyo Kristo lwe yawaayo obulamu bwe, okusinga eby’abo abatamanyi Katonda. Tebasoma Bayibuli okweyambayo amasavu n’obufuta mu myoyo gyabwe. Tebategeera nti ddala eddoboozi lya Katonda libayogerako. Naye bwe twagala okutegeera ekkubo ery’obulokozi, bwe twagala okulaba okumyansa kw’Enjuba ey’obutuukirivu, tuteekwa okuyiga Byawandiikibwa nga tulina ekigendererwa; kubanga ebisuubizo n’obunnabbi bya Bayibuli bireeta okumyansa okutereevu okw’ekitiibwa okutangaza ku nteekateeka entukuvu ey’okununulwa, ate nga amazima gano amanene tegategeerekebwa bulungi. Ebyawandiikibwa eby’omwaka gwa 1888, omuko 403.

Laba, ndisindika omubaka wange, era anaateekateeka ekkubo mu maaso gange; era Mukama gwe munoonya ajja mu bwangu mu yeekaalu ye, era omubaka w’endagaano gwe musanyukira; laba, ajja, bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye. Naye ani ayinza okugumira olunaku lw’okujja kwe? era ani ayimirira bw’alabika? kubanga ali ng’omuliro ogw’okunyungulula, era ng’essabbuuni y’omunaaza ebyambalo. Era ajja kutuula ng’oyo anyungulula era ng’atukuza effeeza; era anaatukuza batabani ba Leevi, era anabayungulula ng’azaabu ne ffeeza, balyoke baleetere Mukama ekiweebwayo mu butuukirivu. Awo ekiweebwayo kya Yuda ne Yerusaalemi kinaasanyusa Mukama, nga mu nnaku ez’edda, era ng’emyaka egy’edda. Malaki 3:1-4.

Mu kwoza yeekaalu, Yesu yali alangirira obuvunaanyizibwa bwe ng’a Mesiya, era ng’atandika omulimu gwe. Yeekaalu eyo, eyazimbibwa okubeerwamu Obubeera bwa Katonda, yategekebwa okubeera eky’okuyigiriza eri Isirayiri n’ensi yonna. Okuva emirembe gyonna kyali ekigendererwa kya Katonda nti buli ekitonde, okuva ku muserafi omumulikivu era omutukuvu okutuuka ku muntu, kibeere yeekaalu ey’Okutuurirwamu Omutonzi. Olw’ekibi, obuntu bwava okuba yeekaalu ya Katonda. Nga guzimuse era ngwonoonebwa olw’obubi, omutima gwa muntu tewakyalaza ekitiibwa kya Oyo Omutukuvu. Naye olw’okufuuka omuntu kwa Mwana wa Katonda, ekigendererwa ky’eggulu kituukirizibwa. Katonda atuula mu bantu, era mu kisa eky’obulokozi omutima gwa muntu guddamu okubeera yeekaalu ye. Katonda yateekateeka nti yeekaalu e Yerusaalemi ebeerenga obujulizi obutayosa ku lugendo lw’ekitiibwa olugguliddwa buli mwoyo. Naye Abayudaaya tebaategeera amakulu g’ekizimbe kye baanyumirizangamu nnyo n’okwenyumiriza. Tebaweewaayo okubeera yeekaalu entukuvu eri Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Embuga z’yeekaalu e Yerusaalemi, nga zijjudde enduvuumo y’obusuubuzi obutali butukuvu, zaalabirira ddala nnamaddala yeekaalu y’omutima, eyali eyonoonebwa olw’okubeeramu okwegomba kw’omubiri n’ebirowoozo ebitatukuvu. Mu kwoza yeekaalu ku bagula n’abatunda b’ensi, Yesu yalangirira omulimu gwe ogw’okutukuza omutima okuva mu kivundu ky’ekibi—okuva mu byegomba by’ensi, mu byegomba eby’okwefaako wekka, n’emize emibi egyonoonya emmeeme. ‘Mukama gwe munaanoonya alijjira mangu mu yeekaalu ye, era Omubaka w’endagaano gwe musanyukira; laba, alijja, bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye. Naye ani ayinza okugumira olunaku lw’okujja kwe? era ani ayimirira bwe yeeraga? kubanga ali ng’omuliro gw’omuwoozya, era ng’asabbuuni gw’omunaaza engoye: era alituula ng’omuwoozya n’omutukuza w’efeeza: era alitukuza batabani ba Lewi, n’abayonja ng’azzabu n’efeeza.’ Malaki 3:1-3.” The Desire of Ages, 161.

Okujja kwa Kristo ng’Kabona Asinga Obukulu waffe mu Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo, olw’okutukuza Eky’Obutukuvu, nga bwe kulagibwa mu Danieri 8:14; okujja kw’Omwana w’omuntu eri Oyo Owakadde w’Ennaku, nga bwe kulagiddwa mu Danieri 7:13; n’okujja kwa Mukama mu Yeekaalu ye, nga bwe kwalagulwa Malaki, byonna bye biraga ekintu kye kimu; era kino kiragibwa ne mu kujja kw’Omugole ku mbaga y’obugole, Kristo bwe yakiyogera mu kigambo ekifaananyi ky’abawala abatali bafumbo kkumi, mu Matayo 25. The Great Controversy, 426.

Nnabbi agamba nti, ‘Nalaba malayika omulala ng’akka okuva mu ggulu, ng’alina amaanyi amanene; n’ensi ne yaka olw’ekitiibwa kye. N’akaaba nnyo n’eddoboozi ery’amaanyi, ng’agamba nti, Babulooni Enene agudde, agudde, era afuuse ekifo mwe babeerera baddayimooni’ (Okubikkulirwa 18:1, 2). Kino kye ky’obubaka kye kimu ekyaweebwa omulayika ow’okubiri. Babulooni agudde, ‘kubanga yanywesa amawanga gonna omwenge ogw’obusuungu bw’obwenzi bwe’ (Okubikkulirwa 14:8). Omwenge ogwo gwe ki?-Enjigiriza ze ez’obulimba. Yawadde ensi Sabata ey’obulimba mu kifo kya Sabata ey’ekiragiro eky’okuna, era azze ng’addamu okubuulira ekirimba Setaani kye yasooka okugamba Eva mu Edeni—obutafa kwa emeeme obw’obutonde. Ensobi nnyingi ezifanagana nazo azisaasaanyizza nnyo, ‘ng’ayigiriza ebiragiro by’abantu okuba enjigiriza’ (Matayo 15:9).

Nga Yesu atandise obuweereza bwe mu lwatu, n’asanirira Yeekaalu ng’agigyamu ebikolwa ebyaswaza obutukuvu bwayo. Mu bikolwa ebyasembayo eby’obuweereza bwe mwalimu okusanirira Yeekaalu omulundi ogwokubiri. Bwe kityo, mu mulimu ogwasembayo ogw’okulabula ensi, amakanisa gaweebwa obuyitibwa bubiri obw’awukana. Obubaka bw’omulayika ow’okubiri bweguno nti, ‘Babulooni agudde, agudde, ekibuga ekyo ekikulu, kubanga yafunyisa amawanga gonna okunywa omwenge ogw’obusungu bw’obwenzi bwayo’ (Okubikkulirwa 14:8). Era mu ddoboozi erigulumivu ery’obubaka bw’omulayika ow’okusatu wawuulirwa eddoboozi okuva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, ‘Mufulume mu gye, abantu bange, muleme okubeera bagabo mu bibi bye, era muleme okufuna ku bikolimo bye. Kubanga ebibi bye bituuse mu ggulu, era Katonda ajjukidde ebikolwa eby’obukyamu byayo’ (Okubikkulirwa 18:4, 5). Obubaka Obulondeddwa, kitabo 2, 118.

Era kyabaawo mu kiseera eky’okuwaayo ekiweebwayo eky’akawungeezi, ne Eriya nnabbi n’asembera, n’agamba nti, Ai Mukama Katonda wa Ibulayimu, Isaaka, ne Isirayiri, kibeere kimanyiddwa leero nti ggwe Katonda mu Isirayiri, era nti nze ndi omuweereza wo, era nti byonna bino mbikoze ku kigambo kyo. 1 Bassekabaka 18:36.
