तमी एक हालकै लेखमा यशैया बाइसको “दर्शनको उपत्यकाको भार”बारे चर्चा गरेका थियौं। त्यहाँ हामीले “दर्शनको उपत्यका”लाई “अन्तिम दिनहरू”मा लाओदिकियालीहरू र फिलाडेल्फियालीहरूबीचको भिन्नताको भौगोलिक प्रतीकका रूपमा पहिचान गरेका थियौं। मूर्ख लाओदिकियाली कुँवारीहरूलाई विनाशको आगोका लागि गाठाहरूमा बाँध्ने कुरा “धनुर्धरहरू” थिए। बाइबलीय भविष्यवाणीका धनुर्धरहरूले इस्लामको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छन्।

UNkulunkulu wathi ku-Abrahama: “Makungabi buhlungu emehlweni akho ngenxa yomfana nangenxa yesigqilakazi sakho; kukho konke uSara akutshilo kuwe, yizwa izwi lakhe; ngokuba ku-Isaka inzalo yakho iyakubizwa. Kepha nendodana yesigqilakazi ngiyakuyenza isizwe, ngoba iyinzalo yakho.” U-Abrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wathatha isinkwa nesikhwama samanzi, wakunika uHagari, wakubeka ehlombe lakhe, kanye nomntwana, wamxosha; wayesuka wahamba wazulazula ehlane laseBheri-sheba. Amanzi asesikhwameni aphela, wayesemlahla umntwana ngaphansi kwesinye sezihlahla. Wase ehamba wayohlala maqondana naye kude impela, cishe ibanga lokucibishela umnsalo; ngoba wathi: “Mangingaboni ukufa komntwana.” Wahlala maqondana naye, waphakamisa izwi lakhe, wakhala. UNkulunkulu walizwa izwi lomfana; ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yabiza uHagari isezulwini, yathi kuye: “Yini ekukhathazayo, Hagari? Ungesabi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu ulizwile izwi lomfana lapho ekhona. Sukuma, uphakamise umfana, umbambe ngesandla sakho; ngokuba ngiyakumenza isizwe esikhulu.” UNkulunkulu wavula amehlo akhe, wabona umthombo wamanzi; wahamba wagcwalisa isikhwama ngamanzi, wamphuzisa umfana. UNkulunkulu wayenomfana; wakhula, wahlala ehlane, waba ngumcibisheli wemicibisholo. Genesise 21:12–21.

ഇശ്മായേൽ, ഹാഗറിന്റെ മകൻ, ഇസ്ലാം ജനതയുടെ പിതാവായി തീരേണ്ടവനായിരുന്നു; അവൻ “വില്ലാളി” എന്നു പ്രതിനിധീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ടു. ഇശ്മായേലിനെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള ആദ്യ പരാമർശം തന്നെയാണ് ബൈബിളിലെ പ്രവചനത്തിൽ അവന്റെ പങ്ക് വ്യക്തമാക്കുന്നത്.

Mutumwa waJehovha akati kwaari, Tarira, une pamuviri, uye uchabereka mwanakomana, ugomutumidza zita rake kuti Ishmaeri; nokuti Jehovha anzwa kutambudzika kwako. Uye achava munhu wesango; ruoko rwake ruchava pamusoro pavanhu vose, uye ruoko rwavanhu vose ruchava pamusoro pake; uye achagara pamberi pehama dzake dzose. Genesisi 16:11, 12.

Rudzi rweIslamu ruchava “ruchirwa nomunhu wose,” uye “ruoko rwomunhu wose” ruchava “ruchirwa naro.” Shoko rakashandurwa kuti “wemusango” rinoreva mbizi yomusango yeArabia, saka kubva pakutanga kwaIshmaeri sechiratidzo chouprofita anosanganiswa ne“mhuri yebhiza,” uye achaunza marudzi ose enyika pamwe chete kuti arwise rudzi rwake.

VaMillerite vakaona kuti matambudziko matatu eChizaruro 9 anomiririra nhoroondo yechiporofita yechiIslamu, uye mukuita saizvozvo vakaratidza chiIslamu nemufananidzo webhiza pamatafura maviri matsvene aHabhakuki. Machati iwayo “akatungamirirwa noruoko rwaShe” uye akaporofitwa muna Habhakuki chitsauko 2. Kuramba chokwadi chokuti chiIslamu chinomiririrwa nematambudziko matatu eChizaruro chitsauko 8 ndima 13, ndiko kuramba Mweya weChiporofita naHabhakuki. Ndiko kuramba zvose zviri zviviri Bhaibheri naMweya weChiporofita.

Zvino ndakatarira, ndikanzwa mutumwa achibhururuka pakati pedenga, achitaura nenzwi guru, achiti: Une nhamo, une nhamo, une nhamo, imi vagari venyika, nokuda kwedzimwe inzwi dzebhosvo dzavatumwa vatatu vachiri kuzozvirova! Zvakazarurwa 8:13.

Kukanira chokwadi kunoreva kusungirwa kumoto wokuparadzwa, uye Adventism yakatanga kuramba chokwadi zvishoma nezvishoma muna 1863. Islam ndicho chinhu chinounza pamwe chete marudzi ose enyika panguva yenhamo yechitatu. Kubatana uku kwakaratidzwa musi waGunyana 11, 2001, uko, sechiratidzo chokutanga chemabhanan’ana manomwe, kunofanirawo kumirira chiratidzo chokupedzisira chemabhanan’ana manomwe. Chiratidzo chokupedzisira chemabhanan’ana manomwe mumazuva okupedzisira ndiwo murau weSvondo; ipapo nhamo yechitatu inouya nokukurumidza. Simba rinotsamwisa marudzi iIslam, uye mumazuva okupedzisira Islam yakatsamwisa marudzi musi waGunyana 11, 2001, asi panguva imwe cheteyo yakanga “yakabatwa kuti irege kupfuurira.” Panguva iyoyo mvura yokupedzisira yakatanga kudonhedza zvishoma ichitangira kudururwa kuzere kunoitika kana mwenga azvigadzirira.

“Panthaawi iyo, apo basa rekuponeswa richinge rava kuvharika, dambudziko richange richiuya panyika, uye ndudzi dzichange dzakatsamwa, asi dzakadzorwa kuti dzirege kudzivisa basa remutumwa wechitatu. Panguva iyo ‘mvura yokupedzisira,’ kana kuti kuzorodzwa kunobva pamberi paJehovha, kuchauya, kuti kupe simba kuzwi guru romutumwa wechitatu, uye kugadzirira vatsvene kuti vamire munguva iyo matambudziko manomwe okupedzisira achadururwa.” Early Writings, 85.

Pa September 11, 2001 kutongwa kwavapenyu kwakatanga, ndudzi dzakatsamwiswa nokurwiswa kweUnited States neIslamu, uye mvura yokupedzisira yakatanga kunaya. Kutonga kunotanga neimba yaMwari, uye kutongwa kweimba yaMwari kunopera panguva yedambudziko remurayiro weSvondo, ipapo kutongwa kweimwe boka raMwari rinotanga. Zvizhinji zvinosanganisirwa muchokwadi ichi chinokosha zvikuru, asi chokwadi ichi chakanyatsotsinhirwa mumapoka ezvinyorwa anonzi, Habakkuk’s Tables. Zvakanga zvakakosha kuisa zvinhu izvi muchinyorwa chino pano tisati tadzokera kurondedzero yeZvakazarurwa gumi neimwe.

Uye panguva imwe cheteyo kwakava nokudengenyeka kukuru kwenyika, uye chegumi cheguta chikawira pasi, uye pakudengenyeka kwenyika ikoko vanhu vane zviuru zvinomwe vakaurayiwa; vakasara vakabatwa nokutya, vakakudza Mwari wokudenga. Nhamo yechipiri yapfuura; uye tarirai, nhamo yechitatu inouya nokukurumidza. Zvakazarurwa 11:13, 14.

“Ukudengenyeka kwenyika kukhulu” okwaphawula ukugumbuqelwa kwesizwe saseFrance eNguqukweni yaseFrance kumela ukugumbuqelwa kwe-United States emthethweni weSonto. Ukuhlubuka kwesizwe kuyakulandelwa yincithakalo yesizwe, futhi lapho i-United States isichithiwe, wonke umhlaba uyakunyakaziswa kuze kufike enhliziyweni yawo; ngalokho kusetshenziswa uphawu “lokudengenyeka komhlaba.” Ngaleso sikhathi “usizi lwesithathu luza masinyane.” UbuSulumane buboniswa ematafuleni amabili angcwele njengosizi lokuqala nolwesibili lwesAmbulo isahluko sesishiyagalolunye, futhi uma usizi lokuqala luwuSulumane nosizi lwesibili luwuSulumane, khona-ke usizi lwesithathu nalo kumelwe lube wuSulumane, ngokuba ngobufakazi bababili into iyamiselwa. I-United States iyakushaywa futhi ubuSulumane emthethweni weSonto.

Achitaura nezve mupata wamapfupa waEzekieri, Sister White anonyora zvinotevera.

“Ezingilosi zibambe imimoya yomine, emelwe lihhashi elithukuthele elifuna ukuphunyuka ligijime phezu kobuso bomhlaba wonke, lithwele ukubhujiswa nokufa endleleni yalo.

“நித்திய உலகத்தின் எல்லைப்புறத்திலேயே நாம் உறங்கிக் கிடப்போமா? நாம் மந்தமாகவும், குளிர்ச்சியுடனும், உயிரற்றவர்களாகவும் இருப்போமா? ஓ, எங்கள் சபைகளில் தேவனுடைய ஆவியும் சுவாசமும் அவருடைய ஜனங்களுக்குள் ஊதப்பட்டு, அவர்கள் தங்கள் கால்களில் நின்று உயிரோடிருக்கும்படி ஆகுமாயாக. வழி நெருக்கமானது என்றும், வாசல் இடுக்கமானது என்றும் நாம் காண வேண்டும். ஆனால் நாம் அந்த இடுக்கமான வாசலினூடாகச் செல்லும்போது, அதன் விசாலம் எல்லையற்றதாகும்.” Manuscript Releases, தொகுதி 20, 217.

Ujumbe wa “upepo nne” unaowasimamisha manabii wawili wa Ufunuo kumi na moja ni ujumbe wa farasi mwenye hasira wa unabii wa Biblia, kama unavyowakilishwa katika ushuhuda wote wa kibiblia, lakini pia kama unavyowakilishwa kwa namna ya kuona juu ya mbao mbili takatifu za Habakuki. Ujumbe unaowainua Eliya na Musa wasimame kwa miguu yao ni ujumbe wa ole ya tatu inayokuja upesi baada ya wao kusimamishwa kwa miguu yao; kwa maana sheria ya Jumapili itakapowadia na Uislamu utakapopiga tena, Musa na Eliya huinuliwa kuwa bendera kwa mataifa.

Matsutsirwo echitatu eChitendero chechiIslamu ndiwowo hwamanda yechinomwe. Kutanga kwekurira kwehwamanda yechinomwe kwakaitika musi wa22 Gumiguru, 1844, apo kutongwa kwakatanga.

Asi mumazuva enzwi remutumwa wechinomwe, paachatanga kuridza, chakavanzika chaMwari chichazadziswa, sezvaakazivisa kuvaranda vake vaporofita. Zvakazarurwa 10:7.

“mazuva enzwi remutumwa wechinomwe” anoreva mazuva okutongwa kwokunzvera, kwakatanga musi wa22 Gumiguru, 1844. Ipapo kutongwa kwavakafa kwakatanga. Kana nhamo yechitatu yauya nokukurumidza, kurira kwehwamanda yechinomwe kunoratidzwazve. Kurira uku hakusi kutanga kwokutongwa kwokunzvera, asi kuguma kwokutongwa kweimba yaMwari, uye kutanga kwokutongwa kwerimwe boka raMwari.

Ipapo mutumwa wechinomwe akaridza hwamanda; kukava namanzwi makuru kudenga, achiti, Ushe hwenyika ino hwava ushe hwaShe wedu, nohwaKristu wake; uye iye uchabata ushe nokusingaperi-peri. Zvino vakuru vana namakumi maviri, vakanga vagere pamberi paMwari pazvigaro zvavo zvoushe, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakanamata Mwari, vachiti, Tinokuvongai, imi Ishe Mwari Wamasimba Ose, uripo, newakanga uripo, nouchazovapo; nokuti makatora kwamuri simba renyu guru, mukabata ushe. Zvakazarurwa 11:15–17.

“Chakavanzika chaMwari” ndiKristu matiri, tariro yokubwinya inopedziswa munguva iyo Mozisi naEria vanosimuka uye vanomutswa kubudikidza neshoko rinobva muShoko raMwari rinoratidza Islam. Kana shoko iri rikagamuchirwa, rinosunga mweya kuti uunganidzwe mudura rokudenga; asi kune avo vanoramba shoko iri, ndiro shoko ravapfuri veIslam rinovaisunga muzvisote kuti vapiswe mumoto yokuparadzwa. Shoko rebhosvo rechinomwe rinoisira chisimbiso vane zana namakumi mana nezvina ezviuru zvisati zvaitika kuti vasimudzirwe sechiratidzo chokupinza rimwe boka raMwari. Vaporofita vaviri vakamutswa vanofanira kutanga vaiswa chisimbiso nyika isati yayambirwa.

“Basa reMudzimu Mutsvene nderekupwisa nyika pamusoro pechivi, nepamusoro pokururama, nepamusoro pokutongwa. Nyika ingangoyambirwa chete nokuona avo vanotenda chokwadi vaitwa vatsvene nechokwadi, vachishanda vachitevera misimboti yakakwirira uye mitsvene, vachiratidza, mupfungwa yakakwirira, mutsara wokupatsanura pakati paavo vanochengeta mirairo yaMwari, navaya vanoitsika netsoka dzavo. Kuitwa vatsvene noMweya kunoratidza pachena mutsauko pakati paavo vane chisimbiso chaMwari, navaya vanochengeta zuva rokunamata renhema. Kana kuedzwa kwasvika, zvicharatidzwa pachena kuti mucherechedzo wechikara chii. Ndiko kuchengeta Svondo. Avo, mushure mokunge vanzwa chokwadi, vakaramba vachiona zuva iri setsvene, vanotakura chiratidzo chomunhu wechivi, iye akafunga kushandura nguva nemitemo. Bible Training School, December 1, 1903.”

Pano kereke chechi yakapondwa, yakatsikirirwa pasi, yakamutswa, uye shure kwaizvozvo yatorwa ichikwidzwa kudenga mureza waMwari uchipenya nokubwinya kwezuva.

“విశ్వము హెచ్చరింపబడగలిగేది ఒక్కటే”—అదేమనగా, అమెరికా సంయుక్త రాష్ట్రాలలో ఆదివారం చట్టముతో ఆరంభమయ్యే సంకటకాలములో నూట నలభై నాలుగు వేల మంది ఒక ధ్వజముగా ఎత్తబడినట్లు చూడుట ద్వారా. బబులోనునుండి బయటకు వచ్చి ఆ నూట నలభై నాలుగు వేల మందితో నిలుచువారు మహా సమూహముగా చిత్రింపబడియున్నారు. ప్రకటన గ్రంథము ఏడవ అధ్యాయములో స్థితిచేసిన ఈ రెండు వర్గములు రూపాంతర పర్వతముమీద మోషే మరియు ఏలీయాలచే సూచింపబడియున్నారు; మరియు పునరుత్థానము పొందిన దేవుని విజయశాలియైన సంఘము ధ్వజముగా ఎత్తబడినపుడు, ఆ తుద సంకటకాలమందు అప్పటికీ బబులోనులోనే ఉన్న దేవుని ఇతర మందతో కూడ వచ్చి ఏకమగును.

Inzwani ilizwi leNkhosi, nina lenitfutfumela etikweni kwelivi layo; bazalwane benu labaninengile, labanilahlela ngephandle ngenxa yelibito lami, batsi: “Ayikhazimuliswe iNkhosi”; kodvwa yona iyawubonakala kube yinjabulo kini, kantsi bona bayawujabha. Kuneliphimbo lemsindvo livela edolobheni, liphimbo livela ethempelini, liphimbo leNkhosi lebuyisela umvuzo etitseni tayo. Angakabi nemhelo, watala; angakafiki buhlungu bakhe, wakhululwa umntfwana wesilisa. Ngubani lowake weva lokunjalo na? ngubani lowake wabona tintfo letinjalo na? Umhlaba ungatala yini ngelilanga linye? sive singatalwa yini kanye? Ngobe iSiyoni ithe nje ingena emilweni, yatala bantfwana bayo. Ngitawufikisa yini ekutaleni, ngingabangeli kutala? isho iNkhosi; ngingabangela yini kutala, bese ngivala sibeletfo? isho Nkulunkulu wakho. Jabulani kanye neJerusalema, nijabule kanye nalo, nonkhe lenilitsandzako; thokozani kakhulu kanye nalo, nonkhe lenilililelako; kuze nimunce nisutiswe emabeleni endvudvuto yalo; kuze nimunce kakhulu nijabule ngenala yenkhatimulo yalo. Ngobe naku lokushiwo yiNkhosi: Bukani, ngitawenabisa kuthula kuye kube njengemfula, nenkhatimulo yebeTive ibe njengemfudlana lowetfulako; khona nitawumunca, nitawutfwalwa emaceleni alo, niphahlatwe emadolweni alo. Njengemuntfu advudvutwa ngunina, nami ngiyakunix consolisa kanjalo; futsi niyakudvudvutwa eJerusalema. Nanibona loku, inhlitiyo yenu iyakujabula, nematsambo enu ayakuhluma njengeluhlata; nesandla seNkhosi siyakwatiwa etikwetinceku tayo, nentukutelo yayo etitseni tayo. Isaya 66:5–14.
