Daniyeli ari kumiririra vanhu vaMwari, avo mumazuva okupedzisira vakawana, kubudikidza neShoko rechiporofita, kuti vakapararira. Pavanomutsiridzwa kuchokwadi ichocho, vanofanira kuzadzisa munyengetero weRevhitiko 26, uyezve munyengetero wokunzwisisa chakavanzika chokupedzisira chechiporofita chinobviswa chisimbiso chacho nguva pfupi isati yapera nguva yokuedzwa, sezvinomiririrwa nomunyengetero waDaniyeli muchitsauko chechipiri. Kana uye pavanopinda muchiitiko chaDaniyeli, mutumwa Gabhurieri achavabata, achavazivisa uye achataura navo, nechinangwa chokuvapa “unyanzvi nokunzwisisa.” Vakachenjera ndivo avo “vanonzwisisa” “kuwanda kwezivo” kana chakavanzika chechiporofita chabviswa chisimbiso chacho.
Akandizivisa, akataura neni, akati, Haiwa Danieri, zvino ndabuda kuti ndikupe ungwaru nokunzwisisa. Pakutanga kwezvikumbiro zvako shoko rakabuda, uye ndauya kuzokuzivisa; nokuti unodikanwa zvikuru; naizvozvo nzwisisa nyaya yacho, uye fungisisa chiratidzo. Danieri 9:22, 23.
Chiono icho Danieri anoudzwa kuti afungisise ndicho chiono che “mareh” chekuonekwa. Gabhurieri akanga asati apedza basa raakanga apiwa muchitsauko chechisere paakanga audzwa kuti aite kuti Danieri anzwisise chiono che “mareh”. Muchitsauko chechipfumbamwe adzoka kuzopedzisa dudziro yacho. Muchitsauko chechipfumbamwe, Danieri haachagari munguva youmambo hweBhabhironi, asi munhoroondo youmambo hweMedhia nePeresia.
Gabrieli paanoraira Danieri kuti “anzwisise shoko,” uye kuti “afungisise chiratidzo,” ari kuratidza nzira yokuparadzanisa mupfungwa yaanoda kuti Danieli ashandise. Mashoko anoshandurwa kuti “anzwisise” na“afungisise” ishoko rimwe chetero rechiHebheru. Shoko iri ndiro “biyn,” uye rinoreva kupatsanura mupfungwa. Shoko rechiHebheru rinoshandurwa kuti “shoko,” ndiro “dabar,” uye rinoreva “shoko”. Naizvozvo Gabrieli ari kuzivisa Danieli, pamwe navaya vaanomiririra mumazuva okupedzisira, kuti vanyatsopatsanura Zvakanaka Shoko rechokwadi.
Funda kwa bidii ili ujionyeshe kuwa umekubaliwa na Mungu, mtenda kazi asiye na sababu ya kuona aibu, akilitenga kwa usahihi neno la kweli. 2 Timotheo 2:15.
Izwi rokuti “matter” rinoshandiswawo naDhanieri muchitsauko chegumi, ndima yokutanga, apo rinodudzirwa katatu richinzi “thing.”
Pagore rechitatu chaKoreshi mambo wePeresia, shoko rakazarurirwa Danieri, ainzi Bheteshazari; uye shoko iroro rakanga riri rechokwadi, asi nguva yakatarwa yakanga iri refu; uye akanzwisisa shoko iroro, akava nokunzwisisa kwechiratidzo. Danieri 10:1.
Mu ndime iyi, liu lakuti “masomphenya” ndi masomphenya a “mareh” a maonekedwe, ndipo Danieli anazindikira zonse ziwiri: chinthu (nkhaniyo) komanso masomphenyawo (“mareh”). Mu ndime ya makumi awiri ndi itatu ya chaputala 9, Gabrieli analangiza Danieli kuti alekanitse moyenera nkhaniyo ndi masomphenyawo, ndipo mu ndime ya 1 ya chaputala 10 ali ndi chidziwitso cha zonse ziwiri, nkhaniyo (chinthucho) ndi masomphenyawo (“mareh”). Mu chaputala 9, Gabrieli akudziwitsa Danieli kuti azindikire kusiyana kulipo (kulekanitsa moyenera) pakati pa nkhaniyo ndi masomphenyawo. Masomphenyawo ndi masomphenya a “mareh,” ndipo “nkhaniyo,” kapena “chinthucho,” ndi masomphenya a “chazon.”
Muchitsauko 8 zviratidzo zvose zviri zviviri zvinozivikanwa, uye musiyano unocherechedzwa nokuti Danieri aishuva kunzwisisa chiratidzo che “chazon,” asi Gabhurieri akarairwa kuti aite kuti Danieri anzwisise chiratidzo che “mareh.” Gabhurieri paanotanga basa rake rokuita kuti Danieri anzwisise “nyaya” ne “chiratidzo,” anozivisa Danieri kuti achenjerere pakucherechedza kuti izvi zviratidzo zviviri zvakasiyana.
Akaninformedza, akataura neni, akati, Haiwa Danieri, zvino ndabuda kuzokupa njere nokunzwisisa. Pakutanga kwezvikumbiro zvako, murairo wakabuda, uye ndauya kuzokuratidza; nokuti unodikanwa zvikuru; naizvozvo nzwisisa shoko iri, uye fungisisa chiratidzo. Mavhiki makumi manomwe akatemerwa vanhu vako neguta rako dzvene, kuti kupandukira kupedzwe, nezvivi zvigumiswe, uye kuti kuyananiswa kuitirwe zvakaipa, uye kuti kururama kusingaperi kuuyiswe, uye kuti chiratidzo nouprofita zvivharwe chisimbiso, uye kuti Mutsvene-soro azodzwe. Naizvozvo ziva unzwisise, kuti kubva pakubuda komurairo wokudzorera nokuvaka Jerusarema kusvikira kuna Mesiya Muchinda kuchava namavhiki manomwe, namavhiki makumi matanhatu namaviri; mugwagwa uchavakwazve, norusvingo, kunyange munguva dzokutambudzika. Uye shure kwamavhiki makumi matanhatu namaviri Mesiya achagurwa, asi kwete nokuda kwake; uye vanhu vomuchinda achauya vachaparadza guta nenzvimbo tsvene; uye kuguma kwazvo kuchava sokufashukira kwemvura zhinji, uye kusvikira pakuguma kwehondo kuparadzwa kwakatarwa. Uye achasimbisa sungano navazhinji kwevhiki rimwe chete; uye pakati pevhiki achagumisa chibayiro nechipiriso; uye pamusoro pokupararira kwezvinonyangadza achachiita dongo, kusvikira pakupedzisira, uye icho chakatemerwa chichadururwa pamusoro pechakaitwa dongo. Danieri 9:22–27.
Gabriele aishuva kuti Danieri azive kuti zvikamu zvose zviri zviviri zvechiratidzo che“chazon” nechiratidzo che“mareh” zvaizomiririrwa mududziro yaakapa Danieri. Dudziro yacho yaizotaura pamusoro pezviratidzo zvose zviri zviviri, uye raiva basa raDanieri kupatsanura zvakarurama chiratidzo chaitaura pamusoro pokutsikwa-tsikwa kweshenjere navauto, kubva pachiratidzo chakatungamirira pakuonekwa kwaKristu muNzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene musi wa22 Gumiguru, 1844.
Gabrieli anatambulisha kwamba tangu amri ya Artashasta mwaka wa 457 KK, kungekuwapo miaka mia nne na tisini iliyokuwa “imekatwa” kutoka katika ile miaka elfu mbili mia tatu ya maono ya jioni na asubuhi, ambayo yalikuwa hasa kwa ajili ya Wayahudi. Katika aya zilizotajwa hivi punde, neno “imeamriwa” limetajwa mara tatu, lakini ni maneno mawili tofauti ya Kiebrania ambayo yote yametafsiriwa kuwa “imeamriwa” katika aya hizo. Mara ya kwanza neno “imeamriwa” linapotajwa ni katika aya ya ishirini na nne, na neno hilo la Kiebrania ni “chathak” nalo humaanisha “kukata mbali”.

Marejeo mawili tu katika Biblia kuhusu nchi kuifurahia sabato zake yanahusiana na kutawanywa kwa watu wa Mungu, na miaka sabini ya utumwa, ambayo iliwakilisha kipindi cha wakati ambacho kingeiruhusu nchi kuifurahia sabato zake. Hiyo ililingana na idadi ya sabato ambazo Wayahudi hawakuiruhusu nchi kupata pumziko. Nchi kupumzika kwa miaka sabini kulihesabiwa kuwa mfano wa jumla ya miaka ambayo uasi dhidi ya amri ya kuiruhusu nchi ipumzike ulikuwa umetendwa. Hesabu rahisi huonyesha kwamba katika “miaka mia nne na tisini” ya uasi, kungekuwa na jumla ya miaka sabini ambayo nchi haikuwa imepumzika.

Miaka elfu moja mia mbili sitini kuanzia mwaka 538 hadi 1798 ilikuwa mfano wa “nyakati saba.” Mwishoni mwa miaka sabini, Wayahudi walirudi ili kurejesha na kuijenga upya Yerusalemu. Kurudi kwao katika kipindi cha amri tatu kulitia alama mwanzo (457 KK) wa miaka elfu mbili na mia tatu ya njozi ya “mareh” iliyoongoza hadi kuonekana kwa Kristo katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844. Amri hizo tatu zilitia alama mwanzo wa kipindi cha unabii, na zilihitajika zote tatu ili kipindi cha unabii kianze, ingawa walianza kurudi na kujenga upya kwa amri ya kwanza ya Koreshi.

Na Pasaka ya Wayuda ilikuwa imekaribia, naye Yesu akapanda kwenda Yerusalemu. Naye akawakuta hekaluni wale waliokuwa wakiuza ng’ombe, na kondoo, na hua, na wabadilisha fedha wameketi. Naye alipokwisha kufanya mjeledi wa kamba ndogo ndogo, akawafukuza wote kutoka hekaluni, na kondoo pia, na ng’ombe; akazimwaga fedha za wabadilisha fedha, na kuzipindua meza; akawaambia wale waliokuwa wakiuza hua, Ondoeni vitu hivi hapa; msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa nyumba ya biashara. Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka ya kuwa imeandikwa, Wivu wa nyumba yako umenila. Ndipo Wayuda wakajibu, wakamwambia, Unatuonyesha ishara gani, kwa kuwa unafanya mambo haya? Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, Livunjeni hekalu hili, nami katika siku tatu nitalisimamisha. Basi Wayuda wakasema, Hekalu hili limejengwa muda wa miaka arobaini na sita, nawe je, utalisimamisha katika siku tatu? Lakini yeye alinena habari za hekalu la mwili wake. Yohana 2:13–21.
