Laodicea - Namba Emu

Obubaka obuzito bw’ekiwonvu ky’okwolesebwa. Kiki ekikukosezza kaakano, okutuusa n’okwambuka ddala ku amaddenga g’ennyumba? Ggwe ojjudde obutabanguko, ekibuga eky’akalakaasa, ekibuga eky’essanyu: abattiddwa bo tebattiddwa n’ekitala, so tebaafiira mu lutalo. Abakulembeze bo bonna badduse wamu; basibiddwa abalasi b’emisaale; bonna abazuuliddwa mu ggwe basibiddwa wamu, abo abaadduse okuva ewala. Kyenvudde njogera nti, Mundekeko; nja kukaaba nnyo nnyo; temugezaako okungumya, olw’okunyagibwa kwa muwala w’abantu bange. Kubanga lino lunaku lw’okubonaabona, n’okukandazibwa, n’okubuusabuusa okuva eri Mukama Katonda ow’eggye mu kiwonvu ky’okwolesebwa, okumenyawo amakomera, era n’okukaabirira ku nsozi. Isaaya 22:1-5.

Mu mwaka Tartan lwe yajja e Ashdod, (Sargon kabaka w’Obwasuliya bwe yamusindika,) n’alwana ne Ashdod n’agiwamba; Mu kiseera kye kimu Mukama n’ayogera ng’ayita mu Isaaya, mutabani wa Amozi, ng’agamba, Genda, oggyewo olugoye olw’ebbibbi ku kiwato kyo, era oggyeko engatto ku bigere byo. N’akikola bw’atyo, n’atambulira bwereere era nga tayambadde ngatto. Mukama n’agamba nti, Nga omuddu wange Isaaya abadde atambulira bwereere era nga tayambadde ngatto okumala emyaka esatu ng’akabonero n’ekyewuunyo eri Misiri n’eri Esiyopya; bwe kityo kabaka w’Obwasuliya alitwala Abamisiri ng’abasibe, n’Abesiyopya ng’abaawambiddwa, abato n’abakadde, bwereere era nga tebayambadde ngatto, nga n’ebibuno byabwe byolesebwa, okulwaza Misiri ensonyi. Era balitya ne bakwasebwa ensonyi olw’Esiyopya gye baasaliramu essuubi, ne Misiri ekitiibwa kyabwe. Era omutuuze w’ekizinga kino aligamba ku lunaku olwo, Laba, buno bwe bwebadde essuubi lyaffe, gye twaddukiranga okufuna obuyambi okununulwa okuva mu mukono gwa kabaka w’Obwasuliya: era tunaawonya tutya? Isaaya 20:1-6.

Ye [kabaka ow’obukiikakkono] era anayingira mu nsi entukuvu, n’ensi nnyingi zijja kugwa; naye bino bijja okusimattuka mu mukono gwe, Edomu ne Mowaabu n’ekitundu ekikulu eky’abaana ba Amoni. Danyeri 11:41.

Amayembe kkumi ge walaba, ago ge bakabaka kkumi, abatannaba kufuna bwakabaka; naye banaafuna obuyinza ng’abakabaka okumala essaawa emu wamu n’ensolo. Abo balina endowooza emu, era banaawa ensolo obuyinza bwabwe n’amaanyi gaabwe. Abo balwana n’Omwana gw’endiga, naye Omwana gw’endiga alibawangula, kubanga ye Mukama wa bakama, era Kabaka wa bakabaka; era abali naye be bayitibwa, era abalondebwa, era abeesigwa. Era n’antegeeza nti, Amazzi ge walaba, mwe atudde omwenzi, ge bantu, n’obufuuwe, n’amawanga, n’ennimi. N’amayembe kkumi ge walaba ku nsolo, ago galikyawa omwenzi, ne gamufuula amazeewo era bwereere, ne galya ennyama ze, ne gamwokya mu muliro. Kubanga Katonda ateeka mu mitima gyabwe okutuukiriza okwagala kwe, ne bakkiriziganya, ne bawa obwakabaka bwabwe eri ensolo, okutuusa ebigambo bya Katonda lwe binaatuukirira. Okubikkulirwa 17:12-17.

“Bwe tunaatera okutuuka ku kizibu eky’enkomerero, kikulu nnyo okubeerawo okutegeeragana n’obumu mu bikozesebwa bya Mukama. Ensi ejjudde emiyaga, entalo n’obutakkanya. Naye wansi w’omutwe gumu—obuyinza bwa Papa—abantu bajja kuyingira mu bumwe okuwakanya Katonda nga babonyaabonya abajulirwa be. Obumu buno bunywezebwa omuvuddeko omukulu. Nga bw’anoonya okuŋŋaanya abakozi be mu kulwana n’amazima, anaakola okubawukanya n’okubasaasaanya abalwanirira amazima. Ye asendasenda obuggya, okwekengera okubi, n’okwogerera bubi, okuleeta obutabanguko n’okwawukana.” Obujulirwa, voliyumu 7, omuko 182.

Era ajja kuyingira mu nsi ey'ekitiibwa, n'ensi nyingi zijja kusuulibwa wansi: naye bano bajja kuwona mu mukono gwe, Edomu, ne Mowaabu, n'omukulu w'abaana b'Amoni. Danyeri 11:41.

Era ne mpulira eddoboozi eddala okuva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, Muvemu, mmwe abantu bange, muleme okwetaba mu bibi bye, era muleme okufuna ku bibonerezo bye. Okubikkulirwa 18:4.

Bw’oba omusana gw’amazima gukuleetedwa, ne gukubikkulira Ssabbiiti ey’ekiragiro eky’okuna, era ne kukulaga nti tewali musingi mu Kigambo kya Katonda ogw’okukuuma olunaku lwa Ssande, ate nga okyanywerera ku ssabbiiti ey’obulimba, n’ogaana okutukuza Ssabbiiti Katonda gy’ayita, ‘Olunaku lwange olutukuvu,’ ofuna akabonero k’ensolo. Kino kituukirira ddi? Bwe wogondera ekiragiro ekikulagira okulekeraawo emirimu ku Ssande n’osinza Katonda, nga omanyi nti tewali kigambo mu Baibuli kiraga nti Ssande si lunaku lwa bulijjo olw’omulimu, obeera okkirizza okuweebwa akabonero k’ensolo, era wegaana akasindiika ka Katonda. Review and Herald, Julaayi 13, 1897.

Okukyusibwa kwa Sabata kwe kabonero oba ekiwandiiso eky’obuyinza bw’ekkanisa ey’e Rooma. Abo, abeetegeera ebyo ekiragiro eky’okuna bye kisaba, ne balonda okukuuma Sabata ey’obulimba mu kifo ky’ey’amazima, bwe batyo baba bawa ekitiibwa eri obuyinza obwo bwokka obulagira ekyo. Akabonero k’ensolo kye Sabata ya Paapa, eyakkiriziddwa ensi mu kifo ky’olunaku Katonda lwe yalagira.

Mpaka kaakano tewali n’omu afunye akabonero k’ensolo. Ekiseera eky’okugezebwa tekinnatuuka. Mu kkanisa zonna mulimu Abakristaayo ab’amazima, nga tekusaliddwamu n’ekibiina ky’Abakatoliki ba Roma. Tewali asalirwa musango okutuusa nga afunye ekitangaala era alabye obuvunaanyizibwa bw’ekiragiro eky’okuna. Naye bwe kinafuluma ekiragiro ekisindikiriza okussa mu nkola Ssabbiiti enkyamu, era eddoboozi ery’amaanyi ery’Omumalayika ow’okusatu linaalabula abantu okwewala okusinza ensolo n’ekifaananyi kyayo, olwo okuwawula wakati w’ekikyamu n’ekituufu kujjakulabika bulungi. Olwo abo abagenda mu maaso mu kujeemera balifuna akabonero k’ensolo.

Mu mangu nnyo tusemberera ekiseera kino. Bwe kirituuka ekkanisa za Protesitanti ne ziggatta amaanyi n’obuyinza obw’ensi obutali bwa ddiini okunyweza eddiini ey’obulimba, gye bajjajja baabwe baayitamu okubonyaabonyezebwa okw’amaanyi okusinga olw’okugiwakanya, olwo Ssabbiiti ya Paapa eneeteekebwa mu mateeka ng’obuyinza bw’ekkanisa n’ogwa gavumenti buggattiddwa wamu. Wanaabaawo okuwuguka okw’eggwanga, okunaaggwawo kwokka mu kuzikirira kw’eggwanga. Ekiwandiiko 51, 1899.

Noolwekyo abasembayo baliba abaasooka, n’abasooka baliba abasembayo: kubanga bangi bayitibwa, naye batono balondebwa. Matayo 20:16.

Awo awatali ekyolesebwa, abantu bazika; naye akwata amateeka, ye musanyufu. Engero 29:18.

Abafukibwako amafuta abayimirira ku luyi lwa Mukama ow’ensi yonna, balina ekifo ekyali kiweereddwa Setaani ng’akerubi omusaanikira. Bwe bayita mu biramu ebitukuvu ebimwetooloola entebe ye, Mukama akuumanga okunyumagana okutalekerawo n’abatuuze b’ensi. Amafuta aga zaabu galaga ekisa Katonda kye akozesa okukuuma ettala z’abakkiriza nga azijjuza amafuta, zireme okukendeka muliro ne zikazima. Singa amafuta gano amatukuvu tegafulukutirwa okuva mu ggulu mu bubaka bwa Mwoyo wa Katonda, amaanyi ag’obubi gandibadde gafuga ddala abantu.

Katonda aswazibwa bwe tutaaniriza obubaka b’atutumira. Mu ngeri eyo tugaana amafuta ag’eggolide ge yandifukamye mu meeme zaffe okutuusibwa eri abo abali mu kizikiza. Bwe kijja okukoowoola nti, ‘Laba, omugole ajja; muvemu mugende okumususinkana,’ abo abatanafuna amafuta amatukuvu, abatakuzezza ekisa kya Kristo mu mitima gyabwe, bajja kulaba, ng’abawala abasirusiru, nti tebateeseteese okususinkana Mukama waabwe. Tebalina mu bo bennyini amaanyi okufuna amafuta ago, era obulamu bwabwe buzikiridde. Naye singa tusaba Omwoyo Omutukuvu wa Katonda, singa tusaba nga Musa bwe yasaba nti, ‘Nkolage ekitiibwa kyo,’ okwagala kwa Katonda kujja kufukiddwa mu mitima gyaffe. Okuyita mu mapaipu ag’eggolide, amafuta ag’eggolide gajja okutuusibwa gye tuli. ‘Si lwa maanyi, newaakubadde obuyinza, naye lwa Mwoyo gwange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama w’eggye. Mu okwaniriza okumasamasa kw’Enjuba ey’obutuukirivu, abaana ba Katonda balisa ng’ettabaaza mu nsi. Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.

Ku bya bajulizi ababiri nnabbi ayongerako okulangirira nti: ‘Bano be mizeyituni ebiri, n’ebikondo by’ettabaaza ebibiri ebyeyimiridde mu maaso ga Katonda w’ensi.’ ‘Ekigambo kyo,’ bw’agamba omuwandiisi wa Zabuli, ‘kye ttabaaza eri ebigere byange, era kye musana ogw’ekkubo lyange.’ Okubikkulirwa 11:4; Zabuli 119:105. Abajulizi ababiri bano bakiikirira Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu eby’Endagaano Enkadde n’Empya. Byombi biweera obujulirwa obw’amaanyi ku nsibuko n’obutagwawo bw’amateeka ga Katonda. Era byombi bijulira enteekateeka y’Obulokozi. Ebifaananyi, ebiweebwayo, n’obunnabbi eby’Endagaano Enkadde byalaga nti waliwo Omulokozi agenda okujja. Enjiri n’ebbaluwa z’Endagaano Empya byogera ku Mulokozi eyajja mu ngeri entuufu ddala, nga bwe byalagulwa mu bifaananyi n’obunnabbi. The Great Controversy, 267.

Nze Yokaana, nange muganda wammwe era munna wammwe mu kubonaabona, ne mu bwakabaka n'obugumiikiriza bwa Yesu Kristo, nnali ku kizinga ekiyitibwa Patimo olw'ekigambo kya Katonda n'olw'obujulizi bwa Yesu Kristo. Okubikkulirwa 1:9.

"Nga atandika ku Musa, entandikwa ennyini ey’ebyafaayo bya Baibuli, Kristo yannyonnyola mu Byawandiikibwa byonna ebimukwatako." Desire of Ages, 796.

Abayudaaya bagezaako okuziyiza okulangirirwa kw’obubaka obwalagulwa mu Kigambo kya Katonda; naye obunnabbi bulina okutuukirira. Mukama agamba, ‘Laba, ndibatuma Erija nnabbi nga tekunnaba kutuuka olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu era olutisa’ (Malaki 4:5). Waliwo anaajja mu mwoyo n’amaanyi ga Erija, era bw’anaalabikira, abantu bayinza okugamba, ‘Oli munyiikivu nnyo, tozinyonnyola Ebyawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu mu ngeri entuufu. Ka nkubuulire engeri gy’olina okuyigiriza obubaka bwo.’

"Waliwo bangi abatasobola kumanya enjawulo wakati w’omulimu gwa Katonda n’ogwa muntu. Ndigamba amazima nga Katonda bw’angampa; era kaakano njogera nti, bwe munaayongera okunoonya ensobi, era mube n’omwoyo ogw’okuwakana, temujja kumanya mazima ddala, Yesu yagamba abayigirizwa be nti, ‘Nnina ebintu bingi bye njagala okubagamba, naye temusobola kubyettikka kaakano’ (Yokaana 16:12). Tebaali mu mbeera ey’okusiima n’okutegeera eby’obutukuvu n’ebya lubeerera; naye Yesu yasuubiza okuweereza Omubeezi, anaabayigiriza ebintu byonna, era anabajjukiza byonna bye yabagamba. Baganda bange, tetusaanidde kuteeka obwesige bwaffe mu muntu. ‘Muleke omuntu, omukka gwe guli mu nnyindo ze: kubanga alibalwa ku ki?’ (Isaaya 2:22). Munywekerere ku Yesu emmeeme zammwe ezitaliiko buyambi. Tekituukagana naffe okunywa ku nsulo ey’omu kiwonvu, nga waliwo ensulo ku lusozi. Tuleke emigga egiri wansi; tujje eri ensulo ez’ewaggulu. Bwe wabaawo ensonga ey’amazima gye temutegeera, oba gye mutakkiriziganyizaako, mwekeneenye, mugerageranye Ebyawandiikibwa n’Ebyawandiikibwa, musimire ddala wansi omugo ogw’amazima mu mugodi gw’Ekigambo kya Katonda. Mulina okuteeka mmwe bennyini n’ebirowoozo byammwe ku kyoto kya Katonda, mujjewo endowooza ze mwateekateeka edda, era mukkirize Omwoyo w’Eggulu abaluŋŋamye mu mazima gonna." Obubaka Obulondeddwa, ekitabo 1, 412.

Awo awatali ekyolesebwa, abantu bazika; naye akwata amateeka, ye musanyufu. Engero 29:18.

Kubanga ogamba nti, Ndi mugagga, era neeyongeddeko ebintu, era tewali kye nkyetaaga; ate tomanyi nti oli ow’ennaku, era ow’okusaasirwa, era omwavu, era omuzibe w’amaaso, era oli bwereere. Okubikkulirwa 3:17.

Kale ebyo byonna byabagwawo okuba eby’okulabirako; era byawandiikibwa okutulabula ffe, abatuuseko enkomerero z'ensi. 1 Abakkolinso 10:11.

N’abo abasinza eggye ery’omu ggulu ku matabaalo ga nnyumba; n’abo abasinza era abalayira mu linnya lya Mukama, era abalayira mu linnya lya Malkamu; n’abo abaddayo emabega eri Mukama; n’abo abatannoonya Mukama, so tebamwebuuza.

Ssilika mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda; kubanga olunaku lwa Mukama luli kumpi; kubanga Mukama ategekedde ssaddaaka, era ayitidde abagenyi be. Era kijja okubaawo ku lunaku lwa ssaddaaka ya Mukama nti ndibonereza abakungu, n’abaana ba kabaka, n’abo bonna abambadde ebyambalo eby’ennaggwanga. Era ku lunaku olwo gwenyini ndibonereza bonna ababuuka ku mulyango, abejjuza ennyumba za bakama baabwe obukambwe n’obulimba. Zefaniya 1:5-9.

Era olw'ensonga eno Katonda alibatumira obulimbisa obw'amaanyi, balyoke bakkirize obulimba; eryo bonna abatakkiriza mazima naye basanyukira mu butali butuukirivu balisalirwa omusango. 2 Abatesalonika 2:11, 12.

Nnabbi Isaaya agamba nti: ‘Bwe banaabagamba mmwe nti, Munoonye abalina emizimu, n’abalaguzi abatunuulira ne bagunjugunza: abantu tebalina kunoonya Katonda waabwe? Abalamu bebagenda okubuuzangako bafu? Eri etteeka n’eri obujulirwa: bwe batayogera ng’ekigambo kino bwe kiri, kubanga tewali kitangaala mu bo.’ Isaaya 8:19-20. Singa abantu baabadde baagala okwaniriza amazima ag’alambuluddwa mu lwatu mu Byawandiikibwa ku butonde bw’omuntu n’embeera y’abafu, bandibalabye mu bigambo by’obw’emizimu n’okweeyolekera kwabwo okukolera kwa Setaani n’amaanyi n’obubonero n’eby’amagero eby’obulimba. Naye mu kifo ky’okuleka eddembe erisanyusa omutima ogw’ennyama ne bava ku bibi bye baagala, abantu abangi nnyo baggalira amaso g’ettangaala ne batambula butereevu mu maaso nga tebafa ku kulabula, Setaani ng’abazingiza emitego gye, ne bafuuka omuyigo gwe. ‘Kubanga tebaakiriza okwagala kw’amazima, balyoke balokoke,’ kyennava ‘Katonda alibatumira obulimba obw’amaanyi, bakkirize eky’obulimba.’ 2 Abatesalonika 2:10-11. Olutalo Olukulu, 559.

Bwe kiba nti ekkanisa egoberera ekkubo erifaanagana n’ery’ensi, eneegabana nayo enkomerero yeemu. Nedda, wabula, kubanga baafunye ekitangaala ekinene, ekibonerezo kyabwe kijja kuba kinene okusinga eky’abatayenenya.

Ffe nga bantu tugamba nti tulina amazima agaasinga ag’abantu abalala bonna abali ku nsi. Kale obulamu bwaffe n’enneyisa yaffe bisaanidde okukwatagana n’okukkiriza okutyo. Olunaku luli kumpi nnyo lwe abatuukirivu banaasonkanyizibwa ne basibibwa mu bisibo ng’eŋŋaano ey’omuwendo okutwalibwa mu kiterekero eky’omu ggulu, ate ababi, nga busu, bikuŋaanyizibwa okuyokebwa mu muliro gw’olunaku olukulu olw’enkomerero. Naye eŋŋaano n’obusu ‘bikula wamu okutuusa ku kukungula.’ Testimonies, volume 5, 100.

Era abasigadde mu muwendo gw'abalasa obusaale, abasaajja ab'amaanyi ab'abaana ba Kedali, banaabeera batono; kubanga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ayogedde. Isaaya 21:17.

Era gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Ismayiri, nga bayitibwa mu mannya gaabwe, okusinziira ku buzaaliranwa bwabwe: omubereberye wa Ismayiri, Nebajoth; ne Kedar, ne Adbeel, ne Mibsam, ne Mishma, ne Dumah, ne Massa, ne Hadar, ne Tema, ne Jetur, ne Naphish, ne Kedemah. Bano be batabani ba Ismayiri, era gano ge mannya gaabwe, okusinziira ku bibuga byabwe n’ebiigo byabwe; abakungu kkumi na babiri okusinziira ku mawanga gaabwe. Olubereberye 25:13-16.

Kivudde wa ekigambo ekigamba nti nnalangiridde nti New York ejja kusangulibwawo n’oluyi olunene lw’amayengo g’ennyanja? Kino sikigambye. Kyennayogera, bwe nnali ntunuulira emizimbe eminene egy’eyo nga giyongerwa waggulu olulamba ku lulamba, nti, ‘Ebintu eby’entiisa bijja okutuukawo Mukama bw’anayimirira okukankanya nnyo ensi! Awo ebigambo eby’Okubikkulirwa 18:1-3 bijja kutuukirira.’ Essuula yonna ey’ekkumi n’omunaana eya Okubikkulirwa erabula ku ebyo ebigenda okujja ku nsi. Naye sirina musana gwenjawulo ku ekigenda okutuuka ku New York; wabula mmanyi nti olunaku lumu emizimbe eminene egy’eyo girisuulibwa wansi olw’amaanyi ga Katonda agakyusa ne gasingulula. Okuva mu musana ogwampaweebwa, mmanyi nti okuzikiriza kuli mu nsi. Ekigambo kimu okuva eri Mukama, okukwatibwa kumu kw’amaanyi ge amanene, ne gino emizimbe emitinditindi ne gigwa. Wajja kubeerawo ebirabika eby’entiisa bye tetusobola na kulowoozako." Review and Herald, Julaayi 5, 1906.

Ne ŋŋamba nti, Mumpulirize, mbegayiridde, mmwe abakulu ba Yakobo, nammwe abaami b’ennyumba ya Isirayiri; si mmwe abateekeddwa okumanya obwenkanya? Abakyawa ekirungi era baagala ekibi; abayula olususu ku bo, ne baggyako ennyama ku magumba gaabwe; era abalya ennyama y’abantu bange, ne babagulako olususu; ne bavunja amagumba gaabwe, ne babatematemamu, ng’eby’okusuula mu suuwa, era ng’ennyama mu kisuuwa ekinene. Awo balyoka bakaabira Mukama, naye talibawulira; era alikisa amaaso ge ku bo mu biro ebyo, kubanga beeyisizza bubi mu bikolwa byabwe. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ku bannabbi abatabulatabula abantu bange, abaluma n’amannyo gaabwe ne boogera nti, “Emirembe;” naye oyo atabateekera mu kamwa, bamwetegekera entalo. Kale ekiro kinaabanga gye muli, ne mutalina byolesebwa; era kizikizibwa gye muli, ne mutalaguzanga; enjuba erisera ku bannabbi, n’olunaku lulibafuukira ekizikiza. Awo abalaba ebyolesebwa banaakwatibwa ensonyi, n’abalaguzi banaawuniikirira; weewaawo, bonna banaabikka emimwa gyabwe; kubanga tewali kuddamu kuva eri Katonda. Naye mazima, njjudde amaanyi olw’Omwoyo gwa Mukama, n’obwenkanya, n’obugumu, okubuulira Yakobo obujeemu bwe, ne Isirayiri ekibi kye. Mumpulirize kino, mbegayiridde, mmwe abakulu b’ennyumba ya Yakobo, n’abaami b’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, abakyawa obwenkanya, era abakyamya obutuukirivu bwonna. Bazimba Sayuuni n’omusaayi, ne Yerusaalemi n’obutali butuukirivu. Abakulu bayo basala emisango olw’ekirabo, n’abakabona bayo bayigiriza olw’omusaala, n’abannabbi bayo balaguza lwa nsimbi; ate ne beesigama ku Mukama ne bagamba nti, Si Mukama ali wakati mu ffe? tewali kabi kanaatuuka ku ffe. Mika 3:1-11.

Era ekibiina ky’amawanga gonna agalwana ne Ariyeri [Yerusaalemi], n’abo bonna ab’alwana naye n’ekigo kye, n’abo abamunyigiriza, kiriba ng’ekirooto eky’ekiro. Kiriba nga bwe kiba ku musajja alina enjala bw’aloota, laba, alya; naye bw’amuka, emmeeme ye eremu: oba nga bwe kiba ku musajja alina ennyonta bw’aloota, laba, anywa; naye bw’amuka, laba, aba anafu, emmeeme ye n’eyegomba: bwe batyo bwe kiriba ku kibiina ky’amawanga gonna agalwana n’olusozi Sayuuni. Mwekkomye, muwunyirire; mukube enduulu, mukube enduulu: batamiivu, naye si lwa wayini; bayayuuta, naye si lwa mwenge ogw’amaanyi. Kubanga Mukama abatonnyezezza ku mmwe omwoyo gw’otulo tw’amaanyi, era abaggale amaso: bannabbi bammwe n’abakulembeze, abalabi, ababisibye. Era okulabula kwonna kufuuse gye muli ng’ebigambo by’ekitabo ekisibiddwa, abantu kye bawa omusomye ne bagamba nti, Nkwegayiridde, soma kino: naye n’agamba nti, Si nsobola; kubanga kisibiddwa: N’ekitabo ne kiwa oyo atamasomye, nga bamugamba nti, Nkwegayiridde, soma kino: naye n’agamba nti, Siri musomye. Kyenvudde Mukama n’agamba nti, Kubanga abantu bano bansemberera n’akamwa kaabwe, era ne bankuza ku mimwa gyabwe, naye emitima gyabwe giggyeewo okuva gye ndi, n’okuntya kwabwe ku nze kuyigirizibwa obulagirizi bw’abantu: Noolwekyo, laba, nnaakola mu bantu bano omulimu ogw’ekitalo, ddala omulimu ogw’ekitalo n’ebyewuunyo: kubanga amagezi g’ab’amagezi gaabwe galizikirira, n’okutegeera kw’ab’amagezi ennyo kulikisibwa. Zikomewo eri abo abanoonya mu bunnya okwekweka okuteesa kwabwe eri Mukama, ne bakola emirimu gyabwe mu kizikiza, ne bagamba nti, Ani atulaba? era ani atumanyi? Mazima okukyusa kwammwe ebintu okubizza wansi waggulu kulibalwangamu nga ebbumba ly’omubumbi w’ebibya: kubanga ekikolwa kiryogera ku oyo eyakikola nti, Teyankola? oba ekibumbiddwa kigambe ku oyo eyakibumba nti, Teyategeera? Isaaya 29:7-16.

Amaziga ga Yesu tegaali ga kulowooza ku kubonaabona kwe kennyini okugenda okujja. Mu maaso ge mwabadde Geseemane, we mangu ddala entiisa y’ekizikiza ekinene yandimubikkiddeko. Era n’Oluggi lw’endiga lwali lulabika, olw’ayitibwamu okumala emyaka mingi ebisolo eby’ebiweebwayo. Oluggi luno mangu ddala lwali lugenda okumuggulwako, Oyo Omukulu eyali ekituufu ekyalagibwanga mu bifananyi, okuweebwayo kwe olw’ebibi by’ensi byonna kwe byaalangira biweebwayo byonna ebyo. Okumpi waaliwo Kalivari, ekifo eky’okubonaabona kwe ekyali okusemberera. Naye si ku lwa bino ebyamujjukiza okufa kwe okw’obulumi kye kyaleetera Omununuzi okukaaba n’okunonogoga mu nnaku z’omwoyo. Ennaku ze tezaalimu kwerowoozaako yekka. Endowooza ku kubonaabona kwe kennyini teyatisa omwoyo ogwo ogw’ekitiibwa era ogweewaayo. Ky’eyalabira ku Yerusaalemi kye kyafumita omutima gwa Yesu—Yerusaalemi eyagaana Omwana wa Katonda n’eyanyooma okwagala kwe, eyagaana okukakanyizibwa n’amagero ge amanene, era eyali ng’egenda okumutta. Yalaba bw’eyali mu musango gw’okugaana Omununuzi we, era n’ebyo byandibadde singa yandikkirizza Oyo yekka ayinza okuwonya ekiwundu kye. Yali azze okumulokola; yamuleka atya?

Isirayiri yali abantu abaasukkirwa mu kisa; Katonda yakafuula yeekaalu yaabwe ekifo kye eky’okubeeramu; yali ‘mulungi olw’ekifo kyayo, essanyu ly’ensi yonna.’ Zabbuli 48:2. Eyo mwalimu obujjulizi bw’emyaka egisukka mu lukumi obw’okulabirira n’okukuuma kwa Kristo n’okwagala kwe okusaasira—ng’omu kitaawe bw’afaako n’ayagala omwana we omu yekka. Mu yeekaalu eyo bannabbi baali baayogedde obulabula bwabwe obw’amaanyi era obw’obukulu. Eyo mwe baanyeenyanga ebibya by’obubaane ebyaka, nga obubaane, bwe bwagattibwa n’ensaba z’abasinzizi, bwali bulinnya eri Katonda. Eyo omusaayi gw’ensolo gwalikulukuta, ng’ekifaananyi ky’omusaayi gwa Kristo. Eyo Yakuwa yali alaze ekitiibwa kye waggulu w’entebe y’okusaasira. Eyo bakabona baali bakola obuweereza, era obunganguse bw’ebyafaananyi n’emmikolo bwali buvuddemu emyaka n’emyaka. Naye byonna bino byalina okukoma.

Yesu n’ayimusa omukono gwe—ogwo ogwabadde guwa omukisa emirundi mingi abalwadde n’ababonyabonyezebwa—n’aguwaanyiriza ng’agulaga ekibuga ekyalindiridde okuzikirizibwa, n’ayogera mu bigambo ebyasalamuka olw’ennaku nti: ‘Singanga weyamanyi, naawe, mu lunaku luno lwo, ebyaleeta emirembe gyo!—’ Wano Omulokozi ne yeeyimiriza, n’aleeka nga by’atayogedde ku mbeera Yerusaalemi gy’andibadde erina singa yakkiriza obuyambi Katonda bwe yali ayagala okumuweera—ekirabo ky’Omwana we omwagalwa. Singa Yerusaalemi yamanyi ekyo kye yali alina eddembe okumanya, era n’awuliriza omusana ogwava mu Ggulu gwe yaweerezebwa, yandiyimiridde mu kitiibwa ky’okutumbulwa n’obugagga, ng’afuuse kabaka-omukazi w’amawanga, ng’eddembe mu maanyi g’obuyinza Katonda gwe yamuwadde. Tewandibaddewo baserikale ab’ebyokulwanyisa bayimiridde ku wankaaki zaakyo, so tebandibaddewo bendera za Abaloma ziwubira ku bbugwe zaakyo. Omugendererwa ogw’ekitiibwa ogwandibadde guwa Yerusaalemi omukisa singa yakkiriza Omununulizi we, gweyimirira mu maaso g’Omwana wa Katonda. Yalaba nti mu Ye yandibadde awonyeddwa mu bulwadde bwe obw’akabi ennyo, ng’agguddwamu obuddu, era ng’aterekebwa ng’ekibuga ekkulu n’amaanyi eky’ensi. Okuva ku bbugwe zaakyo ejiba y’emirembe yandibadde eva ng’egenda mu mawanga gonna. Yandibadde engule y’ekitiibwa ey’ensi yonna.

Naye ekifaananyi ekisangala eky’okuba nga Yerusaalemi yandibadde kizimirira mu maaso g’Omulokozi. Ategeera bw’ali kaakano wansi w’ekikoligo ky’Abaruumi, ng’atikkiddwa obusuungu bwa Katonda, ng’alekeddwa eri okusalirwa omusango ogw’okusasula. N’addirayo okukungubaga kwe, n’agamba: ‘Naye kaakano bikubikkiddwa amaaso go. Kubanga ennaku zijja okutuuka ku ggwe, abalabe bo banaakuzingiza n’ekibambasudde, era banaakwetooloola, era banaakunyweza buli luuyi, era banaakufuula wansi n’ettaka, n’abaana bo abali mu ggwe; era tebalireka mu ggwe jjinja ku jjinja; kubanga tewamanya ekiseera eky’okukujjirira kwo.’

Kristo yajja okulokola Yerusaalemi n’abaana bayo; naye amalala g’Abafalisaayo, obunnanfuusi, obuggya, n’obukyayi byamulemesa okutuukiriza ekigendererwa kye. Yesu yamanya ekibonerezo eky’entiisa ekyali kigenda okutuukira ku kibuga ekyalagirirwa okuzikirira. Yalaba Yerusaalemi ng’ezingiddwa amagye, abatuuze abazingiddwa nga batuusibwa mu nzala n’okufa, bamaama nga barya emirambo gy’abaana baabwe, era abazadde n’abaana nga bawambaganako akatole akasembayo k’emmere okuva ku munne, okwagala okw’obuzaaliranwa nga kuzikirizibwa obulumi obunyigiriza bw’enjala. Yalaba nti obukakanyavu bw’Abayudaaya, nga bwe baabulaga mu kugaana obulokozi bwe, nabwo bwaligenda okubaleetera okugaana okugondera amagye agaalumba. Yatunuulira Kalivari, gye yandibadde asitulwawo, nga emisalaaba gisimbiddwa kungi ng’emiti gy’ekibira. Yalaba abatuuze abali mu nnaku nga babonyaabonyezebwa ku byuma eby’okubonyaabonya era n’okusalibibwa ku emisalaaba, ennyumba ennungi ez’ekitiibwa nga zimenyeseddwa, yeekaalu nga yazikiridde, era ku bbugwe baayo ab’amaanyi tewasigalawo n’ejjinja ku lya munne, nga ekibuga kyalimidwa ng’enimiro. Kyali kya nsonga nnyo Omulokozi okukkaabira mu buyinike ng’alaba ekyo ekirabika eky’entiisa.

"Yerusaalemi yali ng’omwana gwe yalabirira; era nga kitaawe omusaasizi bw’abanakuwala ku mwana avudde ku njira, bw’atyo Yesu n’akaabira ekibuga kye yayagalanga. Nnkuvaako ntya? Nnyinza ntya okukulaba ng’oweereddwa mu kuzikirira? Kiteekwa nze okukuleka ojjuze ekikopo ky’obujeemu bwo? Emmeeme emu ya mugaso nnyo, era mu kugigeraageranya nayo, ensi zisigala nga tezirina mugaso; naye wano waaliwo eggwanga lyonna erigenda kubula. Bwe enjuba eyanguyira okuserengeta ebugwanjuba yandibadde eva mu maaso mu ggulu, olunaku lwa Yerusaalemi olw’ekisa lwandibadde luggwawo. Nga olugendo lw’abantu lwayimiridde ku ntikko ya Lusozi lw’Azeyituuni, tewaali nga kyalekeddeko Yerusaalemi okuwenenya. Malayika w’ekisa yalikunnganya ebiwaawaatiro bye okuserenka okuva ku ntebe eya zaabu, okuwa ekifo obwenkanya n’okusalirwa omusango okuzze mangu. Naye omutima omukulu ogw’okwagala gwa Kristo gwakyalabirira Yerusaalemi, eyanyoomye obusaasizi bwe, n’adaalira okulabula kwe, era ng’ali kumpi okunnyika engalo zayo mu musaayi gwe. Ssinga Yerusaalemi yawenenya, tebandibadde biggwako. Obutiti obusembayo bw’enjuba egwa bwe bwayalira ku yeekaalu, ku linga ne ku ntikko, tewandibaddewo malayika mulungi amukulembera eri okwagala kw’Omulokozi, n’aziyiza ekibonerezo kye? Ekibuga ekirungi kyokka ekitali kitukuvu, ekyakuba bannabbi amayinja, ekyagaana Omwana wa Katonda, ekyekoomeranga olw’obutawenenya mu eminiga gy’obuddu,—olunaku lwakyo olw’ekisa lwali nga luggwawo!" Desire of Ages, 576-578.

Zibasanze abaana abajeemu, bw’ayogera Mukama, abanonya amagezi naye si gange; era abeekutira ekisaanikira naye si kya Mwoyo gwange, balyongerako ekibi ku kibi: abagenda okuserengeta e Misiri, so tebabuuzizza ku kamwa kwange; okwenyweza mu maanyi ga Falaawo, n’okwesiga mu kisiikirize kya Misiri! Isaaya 30:1, 2.

Abeera mu kifo ekyama eky’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, alisula wansi w’ekisiikirize ky’Oyo Ayinza Byonna. Ndigamba Mukama nti, Ye obuddukiro bwange n’ekigo kyange; Katonda wange, mu ye mmwesiga. Zabbuli 91:1, 2.

Omulabe agezaako okubaggya ebirowoozo by’abaganda baffe ne bannyinaffe ku mulimu ogw’okutegekera abantu okuyimirira mu nnaku zino ez’enkomerero. Obukujjukujju bwe butegekeddwa okutwala ebirowoozo wala okuva ku bulabe n’obuvunaanyizibwa bw’ekiseera kino. Bakibalira busa ekitangaala Kristo kye yava mu ggulu okuwa Yokaana olw’abantu be. Bayigiriza nti ebintu ebiri mu maaso gaffe si bya mugaso mungi okusaanira okussaako omutima ogw’enjawulo. Bazisa ku bwereere amazima agava mu ggulu, era banyaga abantu ba Katonda obumanyirivu bwabwe obw’edda, mu kifo kyabwo ne babawa ensayansi ey’obulimba.

'Bw'atyo bw'ayogera Mukama nti, Muyimirire mu makubo, mulabe, era mubuuze ku njira ez'edda, enjira ennungi eri wa, mutambuliramu.' Yeremiya 6:16.

Waleme okubaawo n’omu agezaako okusimbulula emisingi egy’okukkiriza kwaffe—emisingi egyateekebwawo ku ntandikwa y’omulimu gwaffe mu kusoma ekigambo nga tusaba era mu kubikkulirwa. Ku misingi gino kwe tumaze emyaka amakumi ataano nga tuzimba. Abantu bayinza okulowooza nti bazudde ekkubo empya era nti basobola okuteeka omusingi omugumu okusinga ogwateekebwawo. Naye kino kulimba kunene. Kubanga tewali muntu ayinza okuteeka omusingi omulala okuggyako ogwateekebwawo.

Mu biseera ebyayita, abantu bangi baatandikawo okuzimba okukkiriza okupya, era ne bateekawo emisingi emipya. Naye ekizimbe kyabwe kyayimiridde okumala bbanga ki? Kyagwa mangu, kubanga tekyali kizimbiddwa ku lwazi.

Abayigirizwa abaasooka tebaateekwa kusisinkana enjogera z’abantu? Tebaateekwa kuwulira endowooza enkyamu, era nga bamaze okukola byonna ne bayimirira obunywevu, nga bagamba nti: 'Tewali muntu asobola kuteeka omusingi omulala okuggyako oguteekeddwa'? 1 Abakkolinso 3:11.

"Noolwekyo tusaanidde okunyweza entandikwa y'obwesige bwaffe okutuusa ku nkomerero. Ebigambo eby'amaanyi bisindikiddwa Katonda ne Kristo eri abantu bano, nga bibaggya mu nsi, ensonga ku nsonga, ne bibaleeta mu musana omweyolefu gw'amazima agaliwo kakati. N'eminwa egikosebwa omuliro omutukuvu, abaddu ba Katonda balangiridde obubaka. Ebigambo ebiva eri Katonda bisimikizza obutuufu bw'amazima agalangiriddwa." Testimonies, Voliyumu 8, 296, 297.

Era Mukama n’ayogera eri Musa nti, Era ku lunaku olw’ekkumi olw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu walibaawo olunaku olw’Okutangirizibwa: lunaabeera ku mmwe enkungaana entukuvu; era munaanyigirizza emyoyo gyammwe, era munaawaayo eri Mukama ekiweebwayo eky’omuliro. Era temukola mulimu gwonna ku lunaku olwo lwennyini: kubanga luli olunaku olw’Okutangirizibwa, okubakolera okutangirizibwa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wammwe. Kubanga buli omwoyo atanaanyigirizibwa ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, anatemulwamu okuva mu bantu be. Era buli omwoyo akola omulimu gwonna ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, omwoyo oyo ndimuzikiriza okuva mu bantu be. Temukola mulimu gwonna: kiba etteeka eritaliggwaawo emirembe gyonna mu bazzukulu bammwe mu maka gammwe gonna. Kiba ku mmwe Ssabbiiti ey’okuwummula, era munaanyigirizza emyoyo gyammwe: ku lunaku olw’omwenda olw’omwezi ku kawungeezi, okuva ku kawungeezi okutuuka ku kawungeezi, munaakuza Ssabbiiti yammwe. Abaleevi 23:26-32.

Mu 1844 kabona waffe asinga obukulu yayingira ekifo ekitukuvu ennyo mu weema entukuvu ey’omu ggulu, okutandika omulimu gw’okusalira omusango ogw’okunonyereza. Emisango gy’abafu abatuukirivu gibadde giyisibwa mu kwekenneenya mu maaso ga Katonda. Bwe gunaabeera guwedde, omusango gunaasalirwa ku balamu. Nga bya muwendo omungi nnyo, era nga bya mugaso nnyo, ebiseera bino eby’ekitalo! Buli omu ku ffe alina omusango ogutannasalibwa mu kkooti ey’omu ggulu. Tunaasalirwa omusango buli omu ku bw’omu, ng’okusinziira ku bikolwa bye twakola nga tuli mu mubiri. Mu buweereza obw’ekifaananyi, nga kabona asinga obukulu akola omulimu gw’okutangirirwa mu kifo ekitukuvu ennyo mu weema entukuvu ey’ensi, abantu baalagirwa okuzibya emmeeme zaabwe mu maaso ga Katonda, era okwatula ebibi byabwe, ebibi byabwe bitangirirwe era bisangulibwewo. Walibaawo ekitono ekinaasabibwa ku ffe mu lunaku luno olw’Okutangirirwa olutali lwa kifaananyi, ng’a Kristo mu weema entukuvu ey’omu ggulu ayegayirira olw’abantu be, era ekiragiro eky’enkomerero ekitasobola kuzzibwa mabega kinaalangirirwa ku buli musango?

Mbeera yaffe eri etya mu kiseera kino eky’entiisa era eky’ekikakafu? Ayii, amalala agasinga obuyinza mu kkanisa, okwefuula, obulimba, okwagala ebyambalo, obwerere n’okwesanyusa, n’okwegomba obukulu! Ebibi byonna bino bikubye ekikkuzo ku bwongo n’amaaso g’omwoyo, ne kityo ebintu eby’olubeerera tebyategeereddwa. Tetunoonya mu Byawandiikibwa Ebitukuvu, tulyoke tutegeere gyetuli mu byafaayo by’ensi eno? Tetufuuke abategeera ku mulimu ogukolebwa ku lwaffe mu kiseera kino, n’ekifo kye ffe ng’aboonoonyi kye tusaanidde okubeeramu ng’omulimu guno gw’okutangirirwa gukyagenda mu maaso? Obanga tufaayo ddala ku kununulibwa kw’emmeeme zaffe, tuteekwa okukola enkyukakyuka enkalakalira. Tulina okunoonya Mukama n’okwenenya okw’amazima; era nga tulina obunenya obuzama bw’emmeeme, tukwatule ebibi byaffe, bityo bisangulibwe. Obubaka Obulondeddwa, ekitabo 1, 124, 125.

Era ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda w'eggye yabalagira okukaba n'okukungubaga, n'okusalako envi, n'okwesiba ekikunta: Naye, laba, essanyu n'okusanyuka, okutta ente, n'okutta endiga, okulya ennyama n'okunywa wayini: Tulye tunywe; kubanga enkya tufa. Yesaya 22:12, 13.

Olw’obukambwe n’obutali b’eesigwa bw’Ab’e Amoni n’Ab’e Moabu eri Isirayiri, Katonda yayogerera mu Musa nti baliziyizibwa okuyingira mu lukiiko lw’abantu be emirembe gyonna. Laba Ekyamateeka 23:3-6. Nga ajjeemedde ekigambo kino, kabona omukulu yasuula ebiweebwayo ebyali bibikiddwa mu kisenge eky’ennyumba ya Katonda, okumukolera ekifo omubaka ono ow’eggwanga eriziyiziddwa. Tewandibaddewo kunyooma kunene eri Katonda okusinga okuwa ekisa bwe kityo eri omulabe wa Katonda n’amazima ge.

Bw’akomawo okuva e Perusiya, Neemiya n’ategeera ekikolwa eky’obuvumu ekyaswaza ekitukuvu n’addira amagezi amangu okugoba oyo eyali yayingidde mu kisenge mu ngeri etali ntuufu. ‘Kinnuma nnyo,’ bw’agamba; ‘kyenvudde n’nsuula ebintu byonna eby’omu nnyumba bya Tobiya okuva mu kisenge. Awo ne ndagira, ne batukuza ebisenge; ne nzizzaayo eyo ebyombo eby’ennyumba ya Katonda, wamu n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’obutta n’obubaane.’

Si kyokka nti yeekaalu yatyoboolwa, naye n’ebiweebwayo byakozesebwa mu ngeri entali yaamu. Kino kyakendeddezza omwoyo gw’okugaba gw’abantu. Baabadde bafiiriddwa omwoyo gw’ekyekalakalira n’obugumu, era ne beesittala okuwaayo ekitundu eky’ekkumi. Amaggwanika g’ennyumba ya Mukama gaabadde galimu katono; abayimbi bangi n’abalala abaakoleranga mu buweereza bwa yeekaalu, nga tebaafunanga mpeera emala, baava mu mulimu gwa Katonda ne bagenda okukolera awalala. Bannabbi n’Abakabaka, 670.

Bw’ati ayogera Mukama Katonda w’eggye: Genda, ogende eri omuwanika ono, Sebuna, ali ku nnyumba, omugambe nti, Kiki ky’olina wano? era ani gw’olina wano, okwekubira wano entaana, ng’oyo yeekubira entaana waggulu, era yeeteekera mu lwazi ennyumba ey’okubeeramu? Laba, Mukama alikutwala mu buwambe obw’amaanyi, era ddala ddala alikuzinga. Ddala ddala alikukonkonyola n’akukusuula ng’omupiira mu nsi ennene: eyo we onofiira, era eyo amagaali ag’ekitiibwa kyo ganaafuuka ensonyi y’ennyumba ya mukama wo. Era nnaakuggya ku kifo kyo oyimirirako, era okuva ku mbeera yo anakukubbira wansi. Isaaya 22:15-19.

Era ku lunaku olwo kiriba nti ndiyita omuddu wange Eriyakimu mutabani wa Kirikya; era ndimwambaza ekkanzu yo, era ndimunyweza n'omukoba gwo, era ndimukwasa obufuzi bwo mu mukono gwe; era aliba kitaawe eri abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi, ne eri ennyumba ya Yuda. Isaaya 22:20, 21.

Era ekisumuluzo eky’ennyumba ya Dawudi ndikiteeka ku kibegabega kye; bw’anaaggulawo tewali anaggalawo; era anaaggalawo, tewali anaggulawo. Isaaya 22:22.

Era eri malayika w’ekkanisa e Filadelfiya wandiika; Bw’ati bw’ayogera Omutukuvu, oyo ow’amazima, alina ekisumuluzo kya Dawudi; aggulawo, so tewali muntu asobola okuggalawo; era aggalawo, so tewali muntu asobola kuggulawo. Mmanyi emirimu gyo: laba, ntadde mu maaso go oluggi oluggule, so tewali muntu asobola okuluggalawo; kubanga olina amaanyi amatono, era okuumye ekigambo kyange, so togaanidde erinnya lyange. Laba, ndifuula abo ab’ekkuŋaaniro lya Sitaani, abagamba nti be Bayudaaya, songa si bo, wabula balimba; laba, ndibaleeta baje okusinza mu maaso g’ebigere byo, era bamanye nti nkwagadde. Kubanga okuumye ekigambo ky’okugumiikiriza kwange, nange ndikuuma ggwe okuva mu ssaawa y’okukemebwa, ejja okujja ku nsi yonna, okugezesa abo abatuula ku nsi. Laba, nzija mangu: kwata mangu ku kye olina, aleme muntu yenna kukuggya engule yo. Oyo awangula ndimufuula omuddundu mu yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, era tajja kufulumayo nate; era ndimuwandiikako erinnya lya Katonda wange, n’erinnya ly’ekibuga kya Katonda wange, kye Yerusaalemi Empya, ekikka okuva mu ggulu okuva eri Katonda wange; era ndimuwandiikako erinnya lyange eripya. Alina okutu awulirize ebyo Omwoyo by’agamba eri amakanisa. Okubikkulirwa 3:7-12.

"Awamu n'Ekigambo kya Katonda waliwo ekisumuluzo ekiggulawo akasanduku ak'omuwendo, ne kitutuukiriza era ne kitusanyusa. Mpulira okwebaza buli kasana k'ekitangaala. Mu biseera eby'omu maaso, ebyo bye tuyitamu ebiri bya kyama nnyo eri ffe kaakano bijja kunnyonnyolwa. Ebimu ku byetuyitamu tetujja kubitegeera bulungi ddala okutuusa ng'ekifa kiyambadde obutafa." Manuscript Releases, volume 17, 261.

Nnaloota nti Katonda, ng’akozesa omukono ogutalabika, yantumira ekisanduku ekikoleddwa mu ngeri eyewuunyisa, nga kiramba obuwanvu bwa inchi nga kkumi n’obugazi bwa inchi mukaaga, nga kikolebeddwa mu eboni ne lulu nga byateekebwamu mu ngeri eyewuunyisa. Ku kisanduku waaliwo ekisumuluzo ekyali kisibiddwako. Ne ntwala ekisumuluzo amangu ago ne mbikkula ekisanduku; ne mu kyewuunyisa n’okutangala kwange, nnakisanga kijjudde obulweero bwa buli kika n’obunene bwonna, edaayimondi, amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’ensimbi za zaabu n’eza ffeeza ez’ebipimo byonna n’omuwendo gwonna, nga byategekeddwa bulungi mu bifo byabyo mu kisanduku; era nga bwe byali byategekeddwa bwe batyo ne bimurika ekitangaala n’ekitiibwa ebyalingana n’ebya enjuba yokka. Ebiwandiiko ebyasooka, 81.

"'Key attached' yali engeri gye yayitamu okunnyonnyola Ekigambo eky'obunnabbi - okugeraageranya Ebyawandiikibwa n'Ebyawandiikibwa - Baibuli nga ye yennyini omunnyonnyozi waayo. N'ekisumuluzo kino Muganda Miller yaggulawo 'essanduuko,' nga kye mazima amanene ag'okujja eri ensi." James White.

Era omulayika w’ekkanisa ey’Ab’e Laodikeya muwandiikire nti: Bino by’ayogera Amen, Omujulirwa omwesigwa era ow’amazima, Entandikwa y’okutondebwa kwa Katonda; Mmanyi emirimu gyo, nti toli malulu newankubadde wotokota; nandyagadde oba nga oli malulu oba wotokota. Kale kubanga oli wakati awo, nga si malulu newankubadde wotokota, ndikusesema okuva mu kamwa kange. Kubanga oyogera nti, ‘Ndi mugagga, era nfuuse n’ebintu bingi, so sirina kye netaaga;’ so tomanyi nti oli ow’ennaku era ow’obuyinike, era mwavu, era muzibe w’amaaso, era bwereere. Nkuwa amagezi ogugula gye ndi zaabu eyagezesebwa mu muliro, olyoke obe mugagga; n’engoye enjeru, olyoke oyambalibwe, era ensoni z’obwereere bwo zireme okulabika; era wesiige amaaso go eddagala ly’amaaso, olyoke olabe. Bonna b’ndagala, mbabuutira era mbabonereza; kale beera omwettanirwa, oweeneenye. Laba, nnyimiridde ku luggi, ne nkonkona: omuntu yenna awulira eddoboozi lyange, n’aggulawo oluggi, ndingira gy’ali, ne tulye naye, era naye alye nange. Oyo anawangula ndimukkiriza atuule nange ku ntebe y’obwakabaka yange, nga nange bwe nnawangula ne ntuula ne Kitaange ku ntebe ye y’obwakabaka. Oyo alina okutu, awulire Omwoyo ky’ayogera eri amakkanisa. Okubikkulirwa 3:7-22.

Ekirooto ekiddako kyasindikibwa mu Advent Herald, nga myaka ebiri n’okusingawo egyayitawo. Olwo ne ndaba nti kyalaga bulungi obumanyirivu bwaffe obw’edda mu nsonga z’Okudda kwa Kristo okwa kabiri, era nti Katonda yawa ekirooto ku mugaso gw’ekisibo ekyasaasaanye.

Mu bubonero obulaga okusembera kw’olunaku olukulu era olw’entiisa olw’Omukama, Katonda ateekamu ebirooto. Laba Yoweeri 2:28-31; Ebikolwa 2:17-20. Ebirooto biyinza okujja mu ngeri ssatu; okusooka, ‘lw’obungi bw’emirimu.’ Laba Omubuulizi 5:3. Okw’okubiri, abo abali wansi w’omwoyo omukyafu n’obulimba bwa Sitaani, bayinza okurota ebirooto olw’obuyinza bwe. Laba Ekyamateeka Eky’okubiri 8:1-5; Yeremiya 23:25-28; 27:9; 29:8; Zekkaliya 10:2; Yuda 8. Ate okwa ssatu, Katonda abadde bulijjo ayigiriza, era n’okutuusa kaakano ayigiriza abantu be mu ebirooto mu ngeri ennyingi oba entono, ebiva mu buweereza bw’abamalayika n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Abo abasinziira mu musana omukakafu gw’amazima bajja kumanya Katonda bw’abawa ekirooto; era abo tebalirimbibwa wadde okutwalibwa ku kkubo ekikyamu olw’ebirooto eby’obulimba.

N'agamba nti, Muwulire kaakano ebigambo byange; bw'abaawo omunabbi mu mmwe, nze Mukama ndimweyolesa gy'ali mu kwolesebwa, era ndimwogera naye mu kirooto. Okubala 12:5.

Yakobo yagamba nti, 'Malayika wa Mukama yannyogera mu kirooto.' Olubereberye 31:2. 'Era Katonda n'ajja eri Labaani Omwasiriya mu kirooto ekiro.' Olubereberye 31:24. Soma ebirooto bya Yusufu mu Olubereberye 37:5-9, era oluvannyuma osome olugero olw'ekinyumirwa olw'okutuukirizibwa kwabyo mu Misiri.

E Gibyoni Mukama n’alabikira Sulemaani mu kiro mu kirooto. 1 Bassekabaka 3:5. Ekifaananyi ekikulu ennyo eky’omu ssuula ey’okubiri eya Danyeri ky’alabisibwa mu kirooto, era n’ensolo ennya, n’ebirala, eby’omu ssuula ey’omusanvu. Bwe Kerode yayagala okuzikiriza Omulokozi omwana, Yusufu n’alabulwa mu kirooto adduke e Misiri. Matayo 2:13.

Era kijja okutuukirira mu nnaku ez'oluvannyuma, bw'ayogera Katonda, ndiyiwa Omwoyo gwange ku buli mubiri: ne batabani bammwe n'abawala bammwe banaayogera obunnabbi, n'abavubuka bammwe banaalaba ebyolesebwa, n'abakadde bammwe banaalota amaloto. Ebikolwa 2:17.

Ekirabo ky'obunnabbi, okuyita mu ebirooto n'ebyolesebwa, kiri wano nga ekibala ky'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, era mu nnaku ez'oluvannyuma kijja kulabisibwa mu ngeri emala okufuuka akabonero. Kye kimu ku birabo by'Ekkanisa ey'Enjiri.

Era yawa abamu okuba abatume; n’abamu banabbi; n’abamu ab’evanjiristi; n’abamu abasumba n’abayigiriza; olw’okutegekesa abatukuvu, olw’omulimu gw’obuweereza, olw’okuzimba omubiri gwa Kristo. Abaefeso 4:11, 12.

Era Katonda yateeka abamu mu ekkanisa, abasooka abatume, n'ab'okubiri bannabbi, n'ebirala. 1 Abakkolinso 7:28.

Temunyooma bunnabbi. 1 Abatesalonika 5:20. Mulabe ne Ebikolwa by’Abatume 13:1; 21:9; Abaroma 12:6; 1 Abakkorinto 14:1, 24, 39. Bannabbi n’eby’obunnabbi bigenderera ku kuzimba Ekkanisa ya Kristo; era tewali bujulizi bwe tuyinza okulaga okuva mu Kigambo kya Katonda obulaga nti byandikoma nga tekunnaba kukoma kw’ababuulizi b’Enjiri, abasumba, n’abayigiriza. Naye omuwakanya agamba nti, ‘Wabaddewo ebyolesebwa n’ebirooto eb’obulimba bingi nnyo, n’olwekyo sisobola kwesiga kintu kyonna ekifaanana bwe bityo.’ Kituufu nti Setaani alina ekikoppi kye eky’obulimba. Bulijjo alina bannabbi ab’obulimba, era ddala ddala tuyinza okubasubira kaakano mu ssaawa eno ey’enkomerero ey’okulimba n’obuwanguzi bwe. Abo abagaanira ddala okubikkulirwa okw’enjawulo olw’okuba ekikoppi ky’obulimba kiriiwo, basobola mu ngeri y’emu n’okweyongerayo ne bagaana nti Katonda waddaawo yeeyanjulira omuntu mu kirooto oba mu kyolesebwa; kubanga ekikoppi ky’obulimba kyabaddewo bulijjo.

Ebirooto n’ebyolesebwa bye bintu Katonda by’ayitamu yeeyolesa eri abantu. Ng’ayita mu bino yayogera eri bannabbi; atadde ekirabo ky’obunnabbi mu birabo bya kkanisa ey’Enjiri, era agagasse ku bubonero obulala bw’ennaku ez’enkomerero. Amina.

"Ekigendererwa kyange mu bigambo ebyawaggulu kyabadde okuggyaawo obuwakanyi mu ngeri ey’ebyawandiikibwa ebitukuvu, era n’okutegeka amagezi g’omusomi ku ebyo ebigenda okugoberera." James White, Ekirooto kya Muganda Miller, 1-3.

Naloota nti Katonda, ng’ayita mu mukono ogutalabika, yantumira ekisanduku ekikoleddwa mu ngeri ey’ewuniisa, nga kiwanvu intchi kkumi, era buli luuyi intchi mukaaga, nga kikolebeddwa mu muti gw’eboni era nga amalulu gaateekeddwamu mu ngeri ey’ewuniisa. Ku kisanduku kwaliko akasumuluzo akasibiddwaako. Amangu ddala ne ntwala akasumuluzo ne nziggulawo ekisanduku; ne, mu kyewuunyisa n’okutangala kwange, nsanga kijjudde eby’obugagga eby’enjawulo n’ebipimo by’enjawulo: dayimooni, amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’ensimbi ez’emikande za zaabu ne feza ez’ebipimo byonna n’omuwendo gwonna, nga bitegekeddwa bulungi mu bifo byabyo mu kisanduku; era bwe byali bitegekeddwa bwe bityo ne byazaayo ekitangaala n’ekitiibwa, nga ekitangaala n’ekitiibwa kyabyo kyalingana n’eky’enjuba yokka.

Nategeera nti si buvunaanyizibwa bwange okunyumira kino eky’okulabika eky’ewuunyisa nzekka, newankubadde omutima gwange gwali gujjudde essanyu olw’obwangavu, obulungi n’omuwendo gw’ebirimu. Noolwekyo ne nkiteeka ku mmeeza ey’akati mu kisenge kyange era ne ntegeeza nti buli ayagala ajje alabe okulabika okw’ekitiibwa era okw’obwangavu obusinga, okusinga byonna eby’alabiddwa omuntu mu bulamu buno.

Abantu ne batandika okuyingira, olubereberye nga batono, naye ne bayongera okubeera bangi okutuuka ku kibiina. Bwe baalaba olubereberye mu ssanduuko, ne beewuunya era ne baleekaanira essanyu. Naye omuwendo gw’abalabi bwe gweyongera, buli omu n’atandika okutaataganya ebintu eby’omuwendo, nga abiggya mu ssanduuko n’abisaasaanya ku mmeeza. Nnatandika okulowooza nti nnyini byo ajja kunsaba nate essanduuko n’ebintu eby’omuwendo okuva mu mikono gyange; era ssinga mbikkiriza ne bissaasaana, sajja kusobola okubidizza mu bifo byabyo mu ssanduuko nate nga bwe byali olubereberye; era ne ntegeera nti sajja kusobola okutuukiriza obuvunaanyizibwa, kubanga bubeera bunene nnyo. Awo ne ntandika okusaba abantu obutebikwatako, wadde okubiggya mu ssanduuko; naye bwe nnayongeranga okusaba, ne beeyongeranga okubisaasaanya; era kaakano nga babisaasaanya wonna mu kisenge, wansi ne ku buli kyuma ekikozesebwa mu kisenge.

Olwo ne ndaba nti mu mayinja ag’omuwendo amatuufu n’ensimbi entuufu baali basasaanyizzaamu obungi obutebalika bw’amayinja ag’obulimba n’ensimbi z’obulimba. Nnaanyiiga nnyo olw’empisa zaabwe embi n’obutasiima, ne mbakunenyeza era ne mbakokonya olw’ekyo; naye buli lwe nnanenya, ne beeyongera okusasaanya amayinja ag’obulimba n’ensimbi z’obulimba mu mayinja amatuufu n’ensimbi entuufu.

Awo ne nsunguwala mu mwoyo gw’eby’omubiri gwange ne ntandika okukozesa amaanyi g’omubiri okubasindikira ebweru w’ekisenge; naye nga bwe nsindikira omu ebweru, abasatu abalala ne bayingira ne baleeta ettaka, ebisala-sala by’emiti, omusenyi, n’ebika byonna by’akasasiro, okutuusa lwe baabikka buli kimu ku by’obugagga eby’amazima, dayimondi, ne nsimbi za byuma, ne bibeera nga tebikyali kulabika. Era ne bamenya essanduuko lyange mu bitundu ne balissaasaanya mu kasasiro. Naalowooza nti tewali muntu afaayo ku nnaku zange newaakubadde obusungu bwange. Ne nkoowa ddala ne nfa omwoyo, ne ntuula ne nkaaba.

Nga bwe nnali ntyo n’ekaaba era n’ukungubaga olw’okufiirwa kwange okunene n’obuvunaanyizibwa obuli ku nze, ne nzijukira Katonda, ne nsaba nnyo nti ansindikire obuyambi. Amangu ddala oluggi ne lugguka, era omusajja n’ayingira mu kisenge, abantu bonna ne bavaamu; era ye, ng’akutte mu mukono gwe burashi ey’enfufu, n’aggulawo amadirisa, n’atandika okukunkumula enfuufu n’ebiswaswa okuva mu kisenge.

Namukaabira nti aweereko, kubanga waaliwo amayinja ag'omuwendo ennyo nga gasaasanyiddwa mu kasasiro.

Yantegeeza nti, 'Totya,' kubanga ajja 'kubalabirira bo'.

Awo oluvannyuma, ng’akunkumula ettaka n’ebisago, amayinja ag’obulimba ne ssente zaffu, byonna ne bisituka ne bifuluma mu ddirisa ng’ekire, era empewo ne bibitwala. Mu kavuyo ne nziba amaaso akaseera katono; bwe ngabiggulawo, ebisago byali bigenze byonna. Amayinja ag’omuwendo, dayimondi, n’ensimbi eza zaabu n’eza ffeeza, zaali zisaasaanyiddwa mu bungi mu kisenge kyonna.

Awo n’ateeka ku mmeeza essanduuko erinene nnyo era erirabika bulungi okusinga eryasooka, n’akuŋŋaanya amayinja ag’omuwendo, amadayimondi, n’amapeesa, ng’abikuta mu mikono, n’abisuula mu ssanduuko, okutuusa nga tewasigaddeko na kimu, newaakubadde ng’agamu ku madayimondi tegaali manene okusinga akasonga ka pini.

"Awo yansaba nti, 'jjangu olabe.'"

Nnatunuulira mu ssanduuko, naye amaaso gange gaawunikirwa olw’ekyo kye nnalabye. Byaka emirundi kkumi okusinga okutangala kwabyo okw’edda. Nnalowooza nti byali biyonzeddwa mu musenyu n’ebigere by’abo ababi abaabaabadde babisasaza ne babinyirira mu vvuvu. Byali bitegekeddwa bulungi mu ssanduuko, buli kimu mu kifo kyakyo, nga tewalabikaako n’akatono ak’obwegendereza kw’omusajja eyabisuuliramu. Ne nkuba endoboozi mu ssanyu ennene, era endoboozi eyo yannyimusa.

‘Essanduuko’ eraga amazima amanene ga Bayibuli agakwata ku kudda okw’okubiri kwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, agaaweebwa eri Ow’oluganda Miller okubunyisa eri ensi yonna.

"'Ekisumuluzo ekyateekebwako' kyali engeri ye y'okunnyonnyola Ekigambo eky'obunnabbi—ng'agereranya Ebyawandiikibwa n'Ebyawandiikibwa—Baibuli yennyini omutaputa waayo. N'ekisumuluzo kino Ow'oluganda Miller yaggulawo 'essanduku,' oba ekituufu ekikulu eky'okujja eri ensi."

'Abantu ne batandika okuyingira, olubereberye nga batono mu muwendo, naye ne beeyongera ne bafuuka ekibiina kinene.' Bwe yasooka okubuulirwa enjigiriza ey’Okukomawo nga yabuulirwa Ow’oluganda Miller, n’abalala abatono nnyo, teyakola nnyo, era abatono ddala be baazuukusibwa nayo; naye okuva mu 1840 okutuuka mu 1844, wonna we yabuulirwangayo, ekitundu kyonna kyazuukusibwa.

"‘Amayinja ag’omuwendo, dayimooni, n’ebirala’ ‘ga bika byonna n’obunene bwonna’ nga ‘gategekeddwa obulungi mu bifo eby’enjawulo mu ssanduku’ gayimirira abaana ba Katonda, [Malaki 3:17,] nga bava mu makkanisa gonna, era nga tebulekeddeko wala okuva ku matendera n’embeera ez’enjawulo z’obulamu, aba baakwata okukkiriza okw’Okudda kwa Kristo, era ne balabika nga bayimirira n’obuvumu mu bifo byabwe eby’enjawulo, mu nsonga entukuvu ey’amazima. Nga bakolera mu ntegeka eno, buli omu ng’atuukiriza obuvunaanyizibwa bwe, era ng’atambulira mu mwetoowaze mu maaso ga Katonda, ‘ne balabisiza ensi omusana n’ekitiibwa’ nga ebyo byenkana na bya kkanisa mu ennaku z’abatume yokka. Obubaka, [Okubikkulirwa 14:6, 7] bwagenda, ng’ate, ku biwaawaatiro by’omuyaga, era okuyita, ‘Mujje, kubanga byonna byetegekeddwa kaakano,’ [Lukka 14:17.] kwasaasaana n’amaanyi n’omugaso."

Bwe malayika abuuka [Okubikkulirwa 14:6, 7.] yasooka okutandika okubuulira Enjiri ey’olubeerera, ‘Mutye Katonda, mumuwe ekitiibwa; kubanga obudde bw’okusalira kwe emisango butuuse,’ abangi baakaaba mu ssanyu olw’okusuubira okujja kwa Yesu, n’okuzzaawo ebintu byonna, naye oluvannyuma ne bajeemera, ne basekerera ne banyooma amazima agaaali gaalibajjuzza essanyu mu kaseera katono akyadda. Baakyamya ne basasaanya amayinja ag’omuwendo. Kino kitutuusa ku nkomerero y’omwaka gwa 1844, lwe yatandika ekiseera eky’okusasanyizibwa. Kino mukitegeere bulungi: Abo abaali ‘baakaaba mu ssanyu’ be baakyamya ne basasaanya amayinja ag’omuwendo. Era tewali basasaanyizza ekisibo, ne bakikyamya okuva ku kkubo ekituufu okuva mu 1844, ng’abo abaali baabuulira amazima ne basanyukira mu go bwe baakoze; naye oluvannyuma ne bagaanira omulimu gwa Katonda, n’okutuukirizibwa kw’obunnabbi mu byayitamu byaffe eby’edda eby’okulindirira okujja.

Obujulirwa bwa Muganda Miller, okumala emyezi egimu oluvannyuma lw’okukaaba ku ttumbi ly’ekiro, mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu ogw’omwaka 1844, bwali nti omulyango gwali guggaddwa, era nti ekitambuza eky’okulindirira okujja kwa Kristo kyali okutuukirira kw’obunnabbi, era nti twali batuufu mu kubuulira ekiseera. Oluvannyuma n’agumya baganda be, ng’ayita mu “Advent Herald”, okukwatirira ddala, okubeera abagumiikiriza, era obutemwemulugunyiza omu ku munne; era Katonda mangu ddala yandibaalangiridde abatuukirivu olw’okubuulira ekiseera. Mu ngeri eno n’awolereza amayinja ag’omuwendo, nga yeewulira ‘obuvunaanyizibwa’ eri bo, era nti ‘bwandibadde bunene nnyo.’

‘Amajjinja ag’omuwendo ag’obulimba n’ensimbi enkyamu’ ebyasasaanyizibwa wakati mu eza ddala, biyimirira bulungi abakyukyuse mu kukkiriza ab’ekyamu, oba ‘abaana ab’awerako,’ [Hosea 5:7.] okuva lwe oluggi lwaggalwa mu 1844.

Ekisanduuko eky’okubiri, ‘ekinene nnyo era ekirungi okusinga ekisooka,’ mwe mukuŋŋaanyiziddwa wamu ebyali bisaasaanye—‘amayinja ag’omuwendo,’ ‘dayimondi,’ ne ‘ensimbi z’ensimbi’—kikiikirira ekitundu ekigazi ky’amazima agalamu ag’omu kiseera kino, mwe ekisibo ekyasaasaanyizibwa kinaakuŋŋaanyizibwa wamu, okutuuka ku 144,000, bonna balina akabonero ka Katonda omulamu. Tewali n’emu ku dayimondi ez’omuwendo ejja kusigalawo mu kizikiza. Wadde nga ezimu ‘tezinene kusukka ku luttemya lwa pini,’ tezijja kwerabirirwa wadde kulekerwa ebweru mu lunaku luno Katonda bw’akuŋŋaanya amayinja ge ag’omuwendo. [Malachi 3:16-18.] Ayinza okusindika bamalayika be ne babanguya okubaggya, nga bwe yakola eri Lutti okuva e Sudoomu. ‘Omulimu omumpi Mukama gw’anaakola ku nsi.’ ‘Aligufupiza mu butuukirivu.’ Laba Abaroma 9:28.

‘Obukyafu n’ebikunkumuka, obutale n’obusasiro bw’ekika kyonna,’ biyimirira ebisobi eby’enjawulo era bingi ennyo ebyaleeteddwa mu bakkiriza ab’Okudda okw’okubiri, okuva mu bbanga ly’amapapula okugwa ery’omwaka gwa 1844. Wano ndyogerako ku bimu ku byo.

1. Ekifo kye baayimirirako abamu ku 'basumba' mu bwetooloovu amangu ddala oluvannyuma lw’Okukaaba okw’omu ttumbi okuweebwa, nti amaanyi ag’ekitiibwa ag’Omwoyo Omutukuvu aganyookya emitima agaagobereranga entekateeka ey’omwezi ogw’omusanvu, gaali empewo ya 'mesmerism'. George Storrs yali omu ku b’asooka okweyimiriza ku kifo kino. Laba ebyawandiika bye mu nkomerero y’omwaka gwa 1844, mu 'Midnight Cry', ekyali kikubibwa mu kibuga New York. J. V. Himes, ku Lukiiko e Albany mu ntandikwa y’omwaka gwa 1845, yayogera nti entekateeka ey’omwezi ogw’omusanvu yaleeta 'mesmerism' wansi w’obuziba bwa futi musanvu. Kino nagambibwa omu ku baaliwo eyawulira ekyogeddwa. Abalala abaali beesimbidde mu Okukaaba okw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu oluvannyuma baagiyita omulimu gwa Setaani. Okussa omulimu gwa Kristo n’ogw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu ku Setaani, mu nnaku z’Omulokozi waffe, kwali okutukana, era ne kakano kwe okutukana.

2. Okukezako kungi ku kiseera ekirambikiddwa. Okuva ennaku 2,300 lwe zaakoma mu 1844, abantu ab’enjawulo bateekawo ennaku ez’enkomo ez’enjawulo z’okumalirako. Mu kukola bwe batyo baggyawo ‘ensalo,’ era baleese obuzikiza n’okubuusabuusa ku ntambula yonna ey’okudda kwa Kristo.

3. Obulogo bw’emizimu n’ebyamazina byabwo byonna n’okuyitiriza kwoonna. Enkwe eno ya Setaani, eyakola omulimu ow’entiisa ogw’okufa, egererwako bulungi ng’ ‘ettufu ly’emmbaawo’ ne ‘ebika byonna bya kasasiro.’ Abangi ku abo abanywa obutwa bw’obulogo bw’emizimu baakkiriza amazima g’obumanyirivu bwaffe obw’edda mu nsonga z’okudda kwa Kristo, era olw’ensonga eno bangi baaleetebwa okukkiriza nti obulogo bw’emizimu bwali ekibala eky’obulijjo ekyava mu kukkiriza nti Katonda ye yatambuza entambula ennene z’okudda kwa Kristo mu 1843 ne 1844. Peetero, bw’ayogerera ku abo ‘abaleeta eby’obulimba ebizikiriza, ne bagaana Mukama eyabagula,’ agamba nti, ‘OLWABWE EKKUBO LY’AMAZIMA LINAAYOGERWAKO BUBI.’

"4. S. S. Snow nga yeeyita 'Eriya Nnabbi'" Omusajja ono, mu ngeri ye ey’ekyewuunyisa n’ey’obuwabe, naye akoze omugabo gwe mu mulimu guno ogw’okuzikiriza, era entambula ye ebadde eleetera embeera ey’amazima ey’abatukuvu abalinze okufiirwa ekitiibwa, mu birowoozo by’abantu bangi abeesimbu.

Ku lukalala luno lw’ensobi nnyinza okwongerako ne zirala nnyingi, nga ‘emyaka lukumi’ egy’Okubikkulirwa 20:4, 7, mu biseera ebyayita, aba 144,000 ab’Okubikkulirwa 7:4; 14:1, abo abaagolokoka ne bava mu ntaana oluvannyuma lw’okuzuukira kwa Kristo, enjigiriza ey’obutakola, enjigiriza ey’okuzikiriza abaana abato, n’ebirala bingi.

Ebikyamu bino byasaasaanyizibwa n’obunyiikivu bungi, era ne binywezebwa ku kisibo ekirindirira, okutuusa bwe kyatuuka mu kiseera Muganda Miller lwe yafuna ekirooto, eby’omuwendo eby’amazima byali ‘byaggibwako mu maaso,’ era n’ebigambo bya nnabbi byali bituukagana—‘Okusala omusango kwazziddwa emabega, n’obwenkanya buyimiridde wala,’ n’ebirala, n’ebirala. Laba Isaaya 59:14. Olwo tewaali n’empapula y’amawulire ya Advent n’emu mu nsi eyawaganga ensonga y’amazima ag’omu kiseera kino. The Day-Dawn ye y’eyasembayo okuwoleza ku kifo eky’amazima eky’ekisibo ekitono; naye yafa emyezi mingi nga Mukama tannawa Muganda Miller ekirooto kino; era mu kulwana kwayo okusembayo ng’egenda kufa, yalaga abatukuvu abakooye era abakaaba mpola ku mwaka gwa 1877, nga kyali emyaka amakumi asatu mu maaso, ng’ekiseera eky’okununulibwa kwabwe okusembayo. Kitalo! kitalo! Si kyewuunyisa nti Muganda Miller mu kirooto kye, ‘yatuula n’akaaba’ olw’embeera eno embi.

Ow’oluganda Miller yaggala amaaso mu kufa nga Desemba 22, 1849, ekyo ne kituukiriza ebigambo ebigoberako eby’omu kirooto kye, ‘Mu kivuruguto ne nziggala amaaso akaseera katono.’ Okutuukirizibwa kuno okw’amagero kulambulukufu nnyo nga tewali agenda kulemererwa okulaba.

Ekisanduku, kiraga amazima g’Okukomawo ge Muganda Miller yabunyisa eri ensi yonna, nga bwe kilambikiddwa mu lugero lw’abawala ekkumi. [Matayo 25:1-11.] Ekisooka, ekiseera, 1843; eky’okubiri, ekiseera eky’okulindirira; eky’okusatu, okukoowoola mu ttumbi ly’ekiro, mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, 1844; n’eky’okuna, omulyango oguggaddwa. Tewali muntu asomye ebiwandiiko eby’Okukomawo okw’okubiri okuva mu 1843 anaaganya nti Muganda Miller yawagira eby’ensonga ebinene bino ennya mu byafaayo by’Okukomawo. Enteekateeka eno ey’amazima egattiddwa obulungi, oba ‘ekisanduku,’ yaatemaatemebwa era n’esasanyizibwa mu kasasiro abo abaagaanye ebyo bye bayitamu, era ne bagaana ddala amazima ago gennyini ge baabuulira ensi, awamu ne Muganda Miller, nga batatya.

Ekkanisa olwo ejja kuba nnongoofu era 'nga terina musango mu maaso g'entebe ey'obwakabaka bwa Katonda,' bwe banaabanga bamaze okwatula ensobi zaabwe zonna, obusobi n'ebibi byabwe, era nga bino binaaziddwa mu musaayi gwa Kristo ne bisanguddwamu, balibeera nga tebalina 'kizinga newankubadde kinkulunkunzibwa, newankubadde ekintu kyonna ekifaananako bwe kityo.' Awo balimurika n' 'emirundi kkumi okusinga ekitiibwa kyabwe eky'edda.' JAMES WHITE Oswego, Meyi, 1850.
