Eliya — Umubare Karindwi

Turimo kumenya ko 1863 ari ho hantu ha nyuma ho kugeragerezwa mu ruhererekane rw’ibigeragezo byatangijwe no gucika intege gukomeye ko mu 1844. Igice cya mbere cy’imitekerereze yacu ni uko umutwe w’Abamillerite warangiye igihe Itorero ry’Abadiventisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi ryandikwaga mu buryo bwemewe n’amategeko na leta ya Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika muri uwo mwaka nyir’izina. Uwo mutwe watangiye mu buryo bw’ubuhanuzi mu 1798, warangiye mu 1863.

Guhumekerwa kutubwira yuko igihe marayika ukomeye wo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi n’umunani yamanukaga ku wa 11 Nzeri 2001, icyo gikorwa cyari cyaramaze kugaragazwa mu ishusho yacyo mu rugendo rw’Abamilerite igihe marayika wo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi yamanukaga. Urugendo rw’Abamilerite rwatangiye mu gihe cy’imperuka mu 1798, igihe iyerekwa ry’uruzi Ulayi ryo muri Daniyeli ibice bya munani n’icya cyenda ryafungurwaga. Urugendo rw’ab’umutwe w’ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine rwatangiye mu gihe cy’imperuka mu 1989, igihe iyerekwa ry’uruzi Hidekeli ryo mu bice bitatu bya nyuma bya Daniyeli ryafungurwaga.

Ibihe byombi by’imperuka byatangiye itandukanywa rigenda ritera imbere ry’abantu batoranyijwe ba kera n’abari mu rugendo rw’amateka yabo bwite. Igihe ihame nyamukuru rya buri mateka ryahamirizwaga ku mugaragaro, marayika wa buri mateka yaramanutse. Ubutumwa, urugendo n’intumwa byari ibikoresho Umwami yakoresheje muri buri mateka kugira ngo agaragaze icyaha cy’abantu batoranyijwe ba kera; kuko nk’uko Kristo yigishije iby’umurimo We, iyo aba ataraje, Abayahudi b’amateka baharaniraga kujya impaka baba badafite icyaha. Intumwa, ubutumwa n’urugendo byari ibikoresho by’urubanza byari kuzabaza abantu batoranyijwe ba kera ku kwanga umucyo ugenda wiyongera wo mu mateka yabo bwite; kandi igihe marayika yamanukaga, byaranga ko urugendo rw’urubanza rw’abantu b’isezerano rya kera rwari rutangiye. Igikoresho cy’urubanza kigaragazwa igihe abahanuzi bagereranya ayo mateka barya ubutumwa bahawe n’Umwami. Iyo bamaze kurya ubutumwa, hanyuma babujyana ku bantu batoranyijwe ba kera bashushanywa nk’abantu b’ijosi rikomeye kandi bigometse, batemera kumva ngo bahinduke. Iyo marayika amaze kumanuka kandi ubutumwa bumaze kuribwa, urubanza rw’abo bantu bigometse rutangira.

Turimo gushyira mu mateka y’itsinda ry’Abamillerite, uburyo bw’urubanza bwa Isirayeli ya kera nk’uko bugaragazwa mu gitabo cyo Kubara; kandi amaherezo, tuzashyira ubu buryo bw’igeragezwa ku mutwe w’ab’ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine. Ikimenyetso cy’umubare “cumi” kigomba kugenwa n’imvugiro y’igice cy’Ibyanditswe aho uwo mubare wakoreshejwe.

Uruhererekane rw’ibizamini icumi rutangirira ku gucika intege, haba ku Nyanja Itukura ku Bisirayeli ba kera, cyangwa ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844 ku ba Millerite. Mushiki wa White agaragaza ukuri “kw’ibimenyetso fatizo” kwahishuwe muri icyo gihe, guhera ku cyo yise “guhita kw’igihe.” Gucika intege kw’Abaheburayo kwari guterwa n’iterabwoba ry’ingabo za Farawo. Kubura kwizera imbaraga z’Imana kw’Abaheburayo kwagaragariye mu gusubiza kwabo guterwa n’ubwoba bw’ingabo z’abanzi babo, nk’uko byagenze no ku kizamini cya cumi kandi cya nyuma. Yesu agaragaza iherezo ahereye ku ntangiriro, bityo ubwoba bw’ibihangange mu Gihugu cy’Isezerano, byagaragajwe n’abatasi icumi, bwari ubwoba bumwe bwari bwanateye gucika intege kwabo ku Nyanja Itukura. Ikizamini cya cumi kandi cya nyuma ku rugendo rw’aba Millerite cyari kuzaba ubuhanuzi bw’igihe, nk’uko byagenze ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844.

Ukwiheba gukomeye mu igeragezwa ryagiye rikurikirana mu mateka y’Abamilerite kwaranzwe nk’intangiriro y’amateka yari yarashushanyijwe neza cyane no gukizwa kwa Isirayeli ya kera ikurwa muri Egiputa. Uhereye ku Nyanja Itukura habayeho uruhererekane rw’ibigeragezo icumi, kandi ikigeragezo cya nyuma cyagombaga kugaragaza icya mbere. “Igihinguka cy’igihe” mu gihe cy’ukwiheba gukomeye cyatewe no kudasobanukirwa ubuhanuzi bw’igihe. Icya nyuma mu rugendo rw’igeragezwa rwa Isirayeli ya mwuka cyari kuzaba kimwe n’icya mbere. Mu 1863, abayobozi ba Isirayeli nyakuri bahisemo gusubira ku buryo bwa Bibiliya bwo gusobanura bw’abo bari bamaze kumenya ko ari abakobwa ba Roma, maze banga, cyangwa se twavuga ko basobanukiwe nabi, ubuhanuzi bw’igihe burebure kurusha ubundi bwose muri Bibiliya. Iherezo ry’ibigeragezo icumi haba muri Isirayeli nyakuri no muri Isirayeli ya mwuka ryashushanyijwe n’intangiriro. Kandi ku iherezo, muri izo ngero zombi, abigometse bagaragaje icyifuzo cyo gusubira aho bari bamaze gukizwa bavanwa.

Mu kwanga kwemera ibihe birindwi byo mu Balewi makumyabiri na gatandatu, Uwadivantisiti bw’i Lawodikiya bwihangiye urujijo rw’ubuhanuzi butari bwarigeze bubona mbere. Kugeza n’uyu munsi ntiburashobora gukemura urwo rujijo, nubwo butanga ibyokurya binyuranye by’imigani y’ibihimbano mu kugerageza kubikora. Urwo rujijo ruri mu murongo Mushiki wa White agaragaza ko ari wo shingiro n’inkingi yo hagati by’Uwadivantisiti.

Abadivantisiti bafite byinshi bavuga ku murongo wa cumi na kane, ariko ntibigera bavuga ku kintu cya mbere cyane gikwiye kwitonderwa kuri uwo murongo. Icyo ni uko umurongo wa cumi na kane ari “igisubizo.” Igisubizo ntigira icyo gisobanura, niba kitajyanirana n’ikibazo gitera icyo gisubizo. Umurongo wa cumi na gatatu ntushobora gutandukanywa n’uwa cumi na kane mu buryo bw’ubwenge, ubw’ikibonezamvugo, cyangwa mu buryo bushyize mu gaciro, kuko umurongo wa cumi na gatatu ari wo kibazo, naho umurongo wa cumi na kane akaba ari wo gisubizo.

Ikibazo, iyo gisobanuwe neza kandi mu buryo buboneye, gitanga ubusobanuro butandukanye cyane bw’umurongo wa cumi na kane n’ubwo Abadiventisiti bigisha. Ibi ntibisobanura ko umurongo wa cumi na kane atari “urufatiro n’inkingi nkuru by’ukwizera kw’Abadiventisiti,” kuko ari byo koko. Bisobanura ko igihe Abadiventisiti basobanukirwaga nabi maze bakirengagiza iby’ibihe birindwi mu 1863, batashoboye gusobanura mu buryo bwuzuye icyo umurongo wa cumi na kane usobanura by’ukuri. Mu Byanditswe, igice cy’ukuri si ukuri. Iyo byumvikanywe neza, ikibazo cyo mu murongo wa cumi na gatatu gisaba kwemera ubuhanuzi bugaragaza kwezwa k’Ubuturo Bwera bwari bwarasiribangiwe n’amaguru, kandi kandi kigasa no kwemera ubuhanuzi bugaragaza ugusiribangwa n’amaguru kw’ingabo. Ubuhanuzi bw’imyaka ibihumbi bibiri na magana atatu buvuga ku “Buturo Bwera,” naho ubuhanuzi bw’imyaka ibihumbi bibiri na magana atanu na makumyabiri bwo bukavuga ku “ngabo.”

Kugira ngo hasobanurwe isano riri hagati y’iyo mirongo yombi bisaba inyigo ndende, kandi si cyo nteganya gukora muri iki gihe muri izi nyandiko. Izi ngingo zagiye ziganirwaho kenshi uko imyaka yagiye ihita kandi zishobora kuboneka mu ruhererekane rwitwa Habakkuk’s Tables. Ndacyari kuvuga ku kimenyetso cya Eliya kandi nshaka kubanza kurangiza ayo kuri mbere.

William Miller yari Eliya wo mu ntangiriro y’Ubwadivantisiti, kandi icyo yabanje kuvumbura ni “ibihe birindwi” byo mu Balewi makumyabiri na gatandatu; bityo rero kwanga uko kuri mu 1863 kwari ukwanga ubutumwa bwa Eliya. Aha ndimo kuvuga ku miterere ya Alufa na Omega iranga iherezo nk’irihuzwa n’itangiriro. Ikigeragezo cya nyuma cyabaye ku Isirayeli ya kera cyari cyaragaragajwe mu kigeragezo cya mbere. Ibyo bigeragezo byombi bigaragaza ubwoba bw’uko amahanga y’abapagani yarushaga Imana imbaraga. Ikigeragezo cya cumi, kubera ko cyari kimwe n’icya mbere mu ihame, cyarimo ubugome bwo kwigomeka buruta kure ubw’icya mbere, kuko amateka y’intsinzi y’Imana mu kigeragezo cya mbere yagombaga kuba yarazanye icyizere gishikamye muri ba bigometse. Bagaragaje ko banze Imana nubwo bari bafite ibimenyetso byinshi cyane kurusha ibyo bari bafite ku Nyanja Itukura byerekana imbaraga zayo. Ubwadivantisiti bwa ba Milleri, mu 1863, bwari busanzwe busobanura impamvu ugutenguha gukomeye kwari umurimo ukomeye w’Imana, ariko nyamara bakomeje gufata icyemezo cyo kwitoramo umutware no gusubira muri Egiputa no kwanga ubutumwa Daniyeli yita “indahiro” ya Mose yari yaragereranyijwe na Eliya.

Aho gufata igihe cyo kugaragaza ibihamya byemeza ukwemerwa kw’ibihe birindwi nk’ubuhanuzi bw’igihe, ndashaka gukoresha imitekerereze yoroshye kugira ngo mpamye ukwemerwa kwabyo mu bundi buryo. Kuko ku rugendo rwatangiye mu 1798, ikigeragezo cya nyuma cyo mu 1863 na cyo cyari guhagararira ikigeragezo cya nyuma cy’urugendo rw’umumarayika ukomeye wo mu Ibyahishuwe cumi n’umunani. Ibyahishuwe byarasobanuye neza cyane icyo ikigeragezo cya nyuma ari cyo kuri ayo mayeri yombi.

Nta buryo nyakuri bwo gufata inyandiko za Ellen White maze ugatanga igitekerezo cy’uko atashyigikiye byuzuye rwose ya bihe birindwi byo mu Balewi makumyabiri na gatandatu. Mushiki wacu White, nk’uko twabigaragaje mbere muri izi ngingo kandi bikaba byanditswe neza mu ruhererekane rwiswe Habakkuk’s Tables, atumenyesha mu buryo butaziguye ko Imana yayoboye imbonerahamwe zo mu 1843 no mu 1850. Atwigisha mu buryo butaziguye ko izo mbonerahamwe ebyiri zari isohozwa ry’igice cya kabiri cya Habakuki. Izo mbonerahamwe zombi zigaragaza bihe birindwi byo mu Balewi makumyabiri na gatandatu nk’ingingo y’ingenzi y’imiterere yabyo y’ishusho. Muri izo mbonerahamwe zombi, umurongo wa bya bihe birindwi ufite umusaraba wa Kristo nk’ihuriro ryo hagati ry’umurongo w’ubuhanuzi wa bya bihe birindwi.

Hamwe no kwemeza kwe kw’imbonerahamwe ebyiri za Habakuki, yanditse inshuro nyinshi ko dukwiriye gukomeza kwamamaza ubutumwa bwamamajwe kuva mu 1840 kugeza mu 1844; kandi buri munyamateka w’Abadiventisiti uvuga uburyo aba-Millerite bamamaje ubutumwa batangazaga, agaragaza ko bakoresheje imbonerahamwe ya 1843. Ntabwo yemeza gusa ubutumwa bugaragazwa kuri izo mbonerahamwe, kandi ngo agire inama ubwoko bw’Imana gukomeza kwamamaza ubwo butumwa nyir’izina bwamamajwe muri ayo mateka, ahubwo anatanga ingingo nyinshi aho aburira ko ubwo butumwa bwari kuzaterwa mu mateka yose y’ubwoko bw’Imana busigaye. Iyo aburira kuri ibyo bitero, inshuro nyinshi agaragaza ko ari umurimo w’abarinzi b’Imana kurengera ukuri nyir’izina.

Niba ibishushanyo bidakwiriye, ubwo ubutumwa bigaragaza mu buryo bw’amashusho na bwo ntibwaba bukwiriye. Niba ubutumwa Abamilerite batangaje kuva mu 1840 kugeza mu 1844 butari ukw’ukuri, noneho no kuba Ellen White yaragiye asubiramo kenshi ko ubutumwa bw’Abamilerite ari bwo rufatiro, na byo ntibyaba ari ukuri. Niba ubwo butumwa butari ubw’ukuri, amategeko ye yasubiwemo kenshi yo gukomeza kwigisha ayo kuri nyakuri nyene yaba ari inama z’ibinyoma. Niba ubutumwa bw’Abamilerite butagaragaza imfatiro zagombaga kubungwabungwa no kurindwa ibitero bya Satani, noneho na ziriya nama na zo zaba zirimo amakosa. Kugera ku mwanzuro yuko ibyo bibazo byose bifitaniye isano n’ubutumwa bwa Eliya bw’iyo mateka ari amakosa, byagaragaza neza ko Ellen White yari umuhanuzi w’ibinyoma.

Abadiventisime y’iki gihe iracyigisha mu mahuriro yayo yigisha Ibyahishuwe ko itorero ry’asigaye rizaba rifite Umwuka w’Ubuhanuzi, ari wo buhamya bwa Yesu; ariko rwose ntibabwira abo bashaka gukururira kuba abanyamuryango b’itorero ko banga burundu kwemeza kwa Ellen White n’amabwiriza ye yo kuburira bifitanye isano n’ayo mahame ya mbere y’ishingiro n’amateka yabyo. Ni iki igice gikurikira gisobanuye kuri wowe?

Mu wa 1863, umutwe w’Abamilerite wageze ku musozo maze wiyandikisha nk’ikigo cyemewe n’amategeko imbere ya Leta, iyo amaherezo yagombaga kurema ishusho y’ubupapa, ari byo Ellen White asobanura ko ari uguhuza Itorero na Leta.

Dushingiye ku musingi w’uko kwihuza n’ubutegetsi mu buryo bwemewe n’amategeko byari biri mu bikenewe kugira ngo haboneke gahunda y’imikorere, mu gihe urubyiruko rw’icyo gihugu rwarimo rujyanwa ku gahato mu ishyano ry’ubwicanyi rizwi nk’Intambara y’Abanyagihugu, umuryango w’Abamilerite warangiye. Mu 1863, haba binyuze mu nyandiko yasohowe no ku mbonerahamwe nshya, itorero ry’Abadivantisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi ryaranze ubuhanuzi bw’ubucakara Daniyeli yita indahiro ya Mose. Mu 1850, Uwiteka yari yarayoboye ubwoko Bwe gukora imeza ya kabiri ya Habakuki, no gukosora ikosa yari yarakingirije ukuboko ku imeza ya 1843. Imbonerahamwe yategetswe mu 1850 yujuje neza rwose umugambi wayo, kuko Ellen White yavuze ko yabonye “ko Imana yari mu itangazwa ry’iyo mbonerahamwe,” ari na ko yagaragaje ko imbonerahamwe yo mu 1850 ari yo ivugwa muri Habakuki igice cya kabiri.

Intego y’ishusho ryo mu 1850 yari imwe n’iy’ishusho ryo mu 1843. Ryari igikoresho cy’ivugabutumwa cyagombaga gukoreshwa mu kugaragaza ubutumwa bw’umumarayika wa gatatu ku isi iri gupfa. Mu 1863, ubwo butumwa bwarajugunywe. Igikorwa cy’igeragezwa, gishushanywa n’igikorwa cy’igeragezwa cyatangiriye ku Nyanja Itukura, cyatangiranye n’ubuhanuzi bw’igihe bugaragaza ubuturo bwera bwagombaga gukandagirirwa munsi nk’uko bivugwa mu murongo wa cumi na gatatu wa Daniyeli umunani, kandi icyo gikorwa cy’igeragezwa cyasojwe n’ubuhanuzi bw’igihe bugaragaza ingabo zagombaga gukandagirirwa munsi nk’uko bivugwa mu murongo wa cumi na gatatu wa Daniyeli umunani.

Igikorwa cyo kugeragezwa cyatangiye ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844 gifite ikimenyetso cya Alfa na Omega. Intangiriro y’icyo gikorwa cyo kugeragezwa yari ubuhanuzi bw’igihe bwagereranyaga ubuturo bwera bwagombaga gukandagirirwa hasi. Bwari ubuhanuzi bwatanze umucyo mwinshi igihe bwasohoraga. Igikorwa cyo kugeragezwa cyarangiye mu 1863 na cyo gifite ikimenyetso cya Alfa na Omega. Iherezo ry’icyo gikorwa cyo kugeragezwa ryari ubuhanuzi bw’igihe bwagereranyaga ingabo zagombaga gukandagirirwa hasi. Bwari ubuhanuzi bwari bugenewe gutanga umucyo mwinshi igihe bwasohoraga. Bwari ubuhanuzi bw’igihe bwatanzwe na Eliya wo muri ayo mateka, kandi igihe bwanangwaga kandi bugashyirwa ku ruhande, bwabyaye umwijima mwinshi.

Imitekerereze nteganya gusozesha iyi nyandiko ni iyo namaze kugaragaza. Mbese Imana, ibinyujije kuri Ellen White, yemeje ibishushanyo byo mu 1843 n’ibyo mu 1850?

Mbese Imana yarashyigikiye, ibinyujije kuri Ellen White, ubutumwa Abamilerite batangaje mu mateka yo kuva mu 1840 kugeza mu 1844?

Mbese Imana, ibinyujije kuri Ellen White, yaraburiye ubwoko bwayo kwirinda ibitero byasenya ukuri k’amateka y’Abamilerite?

Mu 1863, umurongo w’Abamillerite warangiye wimakaje kwanga ukuri kwa mbere Eliya wo muri ayo mateka yari yarayobowe gusobanukirwa. Ikigeragezo cyawo cya nyuma cyari gishingiye ku mirongo ibiri yo muri Daniyeli 8 igaragaza kuribatiza hasi ubuturo bwera n’ingabo. Umucyo w’ubuturo bwera warahishuwe ku cya mbere mu bigeragezo icumi, kandi umwijima uzanwa ku ngabo ku cya nyuma mu bigeragezo icumi.

Mu kiganiro gikurikira tuzakomeza gusuzuma ubusobanuro bw’ishusho ya Eliya bufitanye isano n’umwaka wa 1863.
