Isohozwa rya Mesiya mu gitabo cya Matayo ririmo ikimenyetso cy’inzira cy’igihe cy’imperuka, ikimenyetso cy’inzira cy’ubutumwa burimo gushyirwa mu buryo bwemewe, abahamya babiri b’ikimenyetso cy’inzira cya 9/11, umwe akaba umuhamya w’ubutumwa bw’imbere bugenewe Lawodikiya undi akaba ubutumwa bw’inyuma bw’iterabwoba rya Isilamu. Birakwiriye ko ikimenyetso cy’inzira cya 9/11 gihagararirwa na bibiri mu bisohorezwa bya Mesiya cumi na bibiri byo muri Matayo, kuko 9/11 ikubiyemo ubutumwa bwa marayika wa kabiri, aho buri gihe habamo gukuba kabiri. Urupfu rwo ku ya 18 Nyakanga 2020 rwari ikimenyetso cy’inzira cya gatanu twasuzumye, hanyuma ijwi ry’uri mu butayu muri Nyakanga 2023 riba irya gatandatu, maze umuzuko wo mu 2024 uba uwa karindwi. Isohozwa rya Mesiya rya munani ni Induru ya Saa Sita z’ijoro.

## Ikimenyetso cya munani cya Mesiya ni Induru yo mu gicuku

> Ibyo byose byabereyeho kugira ngo ibyavuzwe n’umuhanuzi bisohore, agira ati: Nimubwire umukobwa wa Siyoni muti: Dore, Umwami wawe araje agusanga, yicishije bugufi, kandi yicaye ku ndogobe no ku mwana wayo, icyana cy’indogobe. Matayo 21:4, 5.

## Ubuhanuzi

> Nezerwa cyane, wa mukobwa wa Siyoni we; rangurura induru, wa mukobwa wa Yerusalemu we: dore, Umwami wawe araje agusanga: arakiranuka kandi azanye agakiza; yicisha bugufi, kandi agendera ku ndogobe, no ku cyana cyayo, icyana cy’indogobe. Zekariya 9:9.

> “Imyaka magana atanu mbere yaho, Uwiteka yari yaravuze abinyujije ku muhanuzi Zekariya ati: ‘Nezerwa cyane, wa mukobwa wa Siyoni we; rangurura amajwi, wa mukobwa wa Yerusalemu we. Dore, Umwami wawe araje agusanga. Ni umukiranutsi, kandi azanye agakiza; ni uwicisha bugufi, kandi ahetswe n’indogobe, ndetse n’icyana cyayo, icyana cy’indogobe.’ [Zekariya 9:9.] Iyo abigishwa baza kuba baramenye ko Kristo yari agiye gucirwaho urubanza no gupfa, ntibashoboraga gusohoza ubu buhanuzi.”

> “Mu buryo nk’ubwo, Miller na bagenzi be basohoje ubuhanuzi, kandi batanze ubutumwa Umwuka wahumekeye abanditsi yari yarahanuye ko bugomba guhabwa isi, ariko batari kuba barabutanze iyo baza kuba barasobanukiwe byuzuye ubuhanuzi bwerekanaga ugutenguhwa kwabo, kandi bugatanga ubundi butumwa bugomba kubwirizwa amahanga yose mbere y’uko Umwami aza. Ubutumwa bw’umumarayika wa mbere n’ubw’umumarayika wa kabiri bwatanzwe mu gihe gikwiriye, kandi bukora umurimo Imana yari yaragennye ko bugomba gukora.” The Great Controversy, 405.

Kudasobanukirwa kw’Ijambo ry’Imana ry’ubuhanuzi byagaragariye mu mateka yo kwinjira kwa Kristo mu buryo bw’intsinzi, kandi no mu mateka ahuye na yo yo gutangaza ubutumwa bw’Induru yo mu Gicuku mu mwaka wa 1844. Abantu ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine basabwa gusobanukirwa n’“ubuhanuzi bwerekana ugucika intege kwabo.” Yohana mu Ibyahishuwe igice cya cumi abwirwa mbere y’igihe ko ubutumwa bw’akazingo gato bwari kuzaryoha mu kanwa ke, bwari kuzahinduka umururazi.

> “Nta cyo gutinya ku by’ahazaza dufite, keretse igihe twibagiwe uburyo Uwiteka yatuyoboye, n’inyigisho Ye mu mateka yacu yahise.” Life Sketches, 196.

“Ubuyobozi bw’Umwami” bwo mu gihe cyashize bugaragazwa, mu bindi bikorwa by’ubuyobozi bw’Imana, nk’ukuboko Kwe gutwikira ikosa ryari mu mibare, kuko bitari byiza ko Abamillerite basobanukirwa mbere y’igihe ugutenguha kwabo, nk’uko na none bitari byiza ko abigishwa basobanukirwa byuzuye mbere y’igihe ibice byose by’ugutenguha kwabo ku musaraba. Ariko amateka yo gutangaza Ubutumwa bwo mu Gicuku yamenyekanye nk’umucyo nyir’izina uyobora ujya mu ijuru, kandi ibyo byagaragajwe mu iyerekwa rya mbere cyane rya Ellen White. Abantu ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine bagomba gusobanukirwa ugutenguha kw’abigishwa n’ukw’Abamillerite. Kwanga uwo mucyo ni ukugwa ukava muri iyo nzira.

> “Inyuma yabo, aho inzira yatangiriraga, hari hashyizweho umucyo mwinshi, kandi marayika ambwira yuko uwo ari wo ‘gutaka ko mu gicuku.’ Uwo mucyo warasiraga inzira yose, kandi ukamurikira ibirenge byabo, kugira ngo batagwa.”

> “Nibagumishaga amaso yabo kuri Yesu, wari imbere yabo gato, abayobora abagana ku murwa, babaga batekanye. Ariko bidatinze bamwe bararushye, baravuga bati: uwo murwa ukiri kure cyane, kandi bari biteze kuwugeramo mbere y’aho. Maze Yesu akabatera umwete azamuye ukuboko kwe kw’iburyo kw’ikuzo, maze mu kuboko kwe havamo umucyo wazunguzwaga hejuru y’itsinda ry’abategerezaga ukuza kwe, maze barangurura bati: ‘Aleluya!’ Abandi bo, mu bwihutirwe, bahakanye umucyo wari inyuma yabo, bavuga ko atari Imana yari yabayoboye ikabageza aho hose. Umucyo wari inyuma yabo urazima, usiga ibirenge byabo mu mwijima mwinshi rwose, maze barasitara batakaza kureba intego na Yesu, maze bava mu nzira bagwa hasi mu isi y’umwijima n’ubugome iri hepfo.” Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White, 57.

Ikimenyetso cya munani ni Gutaka kwa Saa Sita z’ijoro, nk’uko byashushanyijwe n’ukwinjira kwa Kristo kwa kinyamwuga i Yerusalemu.

> “Gutaka kwa saa sita z’ijoro ntikwatanzwe cane biciye mu mpaka, naho ivyemezo vyo mu Vyanditswe vyera vyari bitomoye kandi bidahinyuzwa. Hari haherekejwe na kwo ubushobozi butera imbere bwakora ku mutima. Nta gukekeranya kwariho, nta kubaza. Mu gihe c’ukwinjira kwa Kristo i Yerusalemu mu ntsinzi, abantu bari bakoraniye bavuye mu mihingo yose y’igihugu ku bw’ukurangura umusi mukuru, bariye ku Musozi w’Imyelayo, kandi igihe bifatanya n’isinzi ry’abantu baherekeza Yesu, bafashwe n’impwemu y’uwo mwanya maze bafasha gukomeza induru ngo, ‘Hahirwa uwuje mw’izina ry’Umwami!’ [Matayo 21:9.] Muri ubwo buryo nyene, abatizera bari baza mu makoraniro y’Abadiventisti—bamwe bazanywe n’amatsiko, abandi bazanywe gusa no gutwenga no gushinyagurira—bumvise ubushobozi bwemeza bwaherekeza ubutumwa ngo, ‘Raba, Umukwe araje!’” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250, 251.

Kugira ngo umuntu abe isugi y’umunyabwenge mu minsi y’imperuka, byari ngombwa mu buryo bw’itegeko ry’ubuhanuzi ko izo sugi z’abanyabwenge zihura no gutenguha, kandi uko gutenguha ni ko na ko kwinjiza igihe cyo gutinda kivugwa mu mugani. Nta bunararibonye bwo guca mu gihe cyo gutinda wagira ngo abe ari isugi y’umunyabwenge cyangwa iy’umupfapfa.

> “Umugani w’abakobwa cumi b’isugi uvugwa muri Matayo 25 na wo ugaragaza ubunararibonye bw’ubwoko bw’Abadivantisiti.” Intambara Ikomeye, 393.

Uko byagenda kose, abakobwa b’abanyabwenge bo mu minsi ya nyuma bagomba kunyura mu gutenguhwa guhura n’ukwabaye ku wa 19 Mata 1844, kuko ibyabaye muri uwo mugani ari byo bibaho ku bihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine, abo Yohana mu Ibyahishuwe aranga ko ari abakobwa b’isugi.

> Aba ni bo batandujwe n’abagore, kuko ari abasugi. Aba ni bo bakurikira Umwana w’Intama aho ajya hose. Aba bacunguwe bakuwe mu bantu, baba umuganura ku Mana no ku Mwana w’Intama. Ibyahishuwe 14:4.

Ni imigani ingahe ya Kristo ivugwa mu buryo bweruye kandi bwihariye ko yasohoye mu buryo nyabwo, nk’uko byanditswe ijambo ku rindi? Buri mugani uzasohora mu buryo nyabwo, nk’uko byanditswe ijambo ku rindi; ariko umugani w’abakobwa cumi b’isugi wo werekanwa by’umwihariko ko wasohoye kera kandi ko uzongera gusohora mu gihe kizaza “ijambo ku rindi.” Ugereranywa n’ubutumwa bwa marayika wa gatatu bugomba gukomeza kuba ukuri kw’iki gihe kuva mu 1844 gukomeza kugeza igihe Mikayeli azahagurukira maze igihe cy’igeragezwa cy’abantu kigafungwa.

> “Nkunze kunyoherezwa ku mugani w’abakobwa cumi b’isugi, batanu muri bo bari abanyabwenge, abandi batanu ari abapfu. Uyu mugani warasohoye kandi uzakomeza gusohora nk’uko wanditswe ijambo ku rindi, kuko ukoreshwa by’umwihariko muri iki gihe, kandi nk’ubutumwa bw’umumarayika wa gatatu, warasohoye kandi uzakomeza kuba ukuri kw’iki gihe kugeza ku mperuka y’igihe.” Review and Herald, 19 Kanama 1890.

Kugeza ku iherezo ry’igihe, umugani w’abakobwa cumi b’inkumi ni ukuri kw’iki gihe, kandi Induru yo mu Gicuku izongera gusohora neza nk’uko yanditswe.

> “Hariho isi irambaraye mu bugome, mu buriganya no mu buyobe, mu gicucu nyirizina cy’urupfu,—isinziriye, isinziririye. Ni ba nde bafite ububabare bw’umutima bubasunikira kubakangura? Ni irihe jwi ryabageraho? Ibitekerezo byanjye byajyanywe mu gihe kizaza, ubwo ikimenyetso kizatangirwa. ‘Dore, Umukwe araje; nimusohoke mumusanganire.’ Ariko bamwe bazaba baratinze kubona amavuta yo kongeramo mu matabaza yabo, maze bazasanga byatinze ko imico, igereranywa n’amavuta, idashobora kwimurirwa ku wundi.” Review and Herald, February 11, 1896.

Ijwi ryo mu Gicuku ni rwo kimenyetso gikurikiraho kigaragara ku murongo utambitse mu rugendo rw’abo ijana na mirongo ine na bane. Icyo kimenyetso kijyanana n’itotezwa ritangira kugirirwa abizerwa mbere y’itegeko ryo ku cyumweru. Iryo totezwa riva hanze kandi riva no imbere, kandi itotezwa ryo mu imbere rikubiyemo ibimenyetso bibiri bitandukanye. Kimwe muri ibyo bimenyetso ni Yuda, ikindi ni Urukiko Rukuru rw’Abayahudi.

## Ikimenyetso cya cyenda cya Mesiya ni Ubugambanyi bw’ibiceri by’ifeza 30

> Nuko hasohorwa ibyavuzwe na Yeremiya umuhanuzi, ati: Nuko bafata ibiceri mirongo itatu by’ifeza, igiciro cy’Uwo bahawe agaciro, uwo abana ba Isirayeli bahaye agaciro; maze babitangira umurima w’umubumbyi, nk’uko Umwami Imana yari yarabintegetse. Matayo 27:9, 10.

## Ubuhanuzi

> Maze ndababwira nti: Nimba mubona ari byiza, mumpe igiciro canje; ariko nimba atari vyo, mubireke. Nuko bampimira ibiceri mirongo itatu vy’ifeza ngo bibe igiciro canje. Uhoraho arambwira ati: Biterere umubumvyi; ni co giciro ciza bansumvye. Nuko mfata ivyo biceri mirongo itatu vy’ifeza, ndabiterera umubumvyi mu nzu y’Uhoraho. Zekariya 11:12, 13.

Ubugambanyi bwa Yuda bugaragaza ubugambanyi bw’abatambyi b’ibinyoma, kuko umubare wa 30 ugaragaza imyaka y’abatambyi. Abatambyi, ari bo na Balewi, bezwa nk’izahabu n’ifeza n’Intumwa y’Isezerano. Iby’ifeza mirongo itatu bya Yuda bigaragaza kwezwa kw’abatambyi b’ibinyoma mu gihe cy’itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru; nubwo Yuda yapfuye mbere gato y’umusaraba, byari bikiri uwo munsi umwe. Yuda si ikimenyetso cy’Urukiko rw’Ikirenga rw’Abayahudi; ni ikimenyetso cy’umuntu watekerezwaga ko ari mu bigishwa ba Kristo.

Nk’umwigishwa wa Kristo, wari umwigishwa wo gusigwa kwa Yesu. Ukusigwa kwe mu mubatizo We ni ko kwahinduye izina Rye riba Yesu Kristo, kuko Kristo bisobanura—Uwasizwe. Izina Rye ryahise rihinduka, kuko icyo gihe yagombaga gukomeresha isezerano na benshi mu gihe cy’icyumweru kimwe, kandi ikimenyetso gikomeye cy’isano y’isezerano ni izina rihindutse. Yesu yasigiwe imbaraga mu mubatizo We. Kuba umwigishwa wa Kristo, byasobanuraga ko wari umwigishwa w’umubatizo We. Mu mubatizo We ni ho yasigiwe imbaraga. Imvugo ya Petero yo muri Matayo 16:18 izwi mu isi ya tewolojiya ya Gikristo nk’“Kwatura kwa Gikristo.” Ni imwe mu nsanganyamatsiko zikomeye zigibwaho impaka hagati y’abanyatewolojiya n’intiti. Muri rusange, impaka z’abanyatewolojiya n’intiti zigaragaza ikintu kidafite agaciro na gake, cyangwa se gashobora kuba ari ak’ingenzi rito, ariko ingingo igumaho ni uko Ubukristo busobanukirwa ko igihe Yesu yasigwaga, ari bwo yahindukaga Mesiya.

> Arababwira ati: “Ariko mweho, muvuga ko ndi nde?” Simoni Petero arasubiza ati: “Uri Kristo, Umwana w’Imana ihoraho.” Matayo 16:15, 16.

Izina rya mbere rya Petero ryagaragazaga uko kuri nyakuri, kuko Simoni Baruyona bisobanura ngo “uwumva ubutumwa bw’inuma,” kandi ubwo ni bwo butumwa bw’umubatizo We. Umubatizo We uhuye na 9/11, kandi Yuda agereranya abigeze kwemera ko basobanukiwe 9/11, ariko bakayoba mu nzira. Yuda si ikimenyetso cy’Abanyedini bo mu Rukiko Rukuru, kuko bo bahagarariye itorero ry’Abadiventisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi ry’i Lawodikiya. Yuda yatanze ubuhamya ku bw’Abanyedini bo mu Rukiko Rukuru, ariko ikigereranyo cy’ubwigomeke bw’Abanyedini bo mu Rukiko Rukuru gitandukanye n’ubwigomeke bwa Yuda. Ubwigomeke bw’Abanyedini bo mu Rukiko Rukuru bugaragazwa mu nzozi zikurikira.

> “Nakusanyije inyandiko zanjye, maze dutangira urugendo rwacu. Mu nzira twakoze amateraniro abiri i Orange, kandi twabonye ibimenyetso by’uko itorero ryungutse kandi rihumurizwa. Natwe ubwacu twaruhuriwe n’Umwuka w’Umwami. Muri iryo joro narose ndi i Battle Creek, ndebera ku kirahuri cyo ku ruhande rw’umuryango, mbona itsinda ry’abantu riza ryerekeza ku nzu, babiri babiri. Basaga n’abakakaye kandi biyemeje. Nari mbazi neza, maze mpindukira kujya gukingura urugi rw’icyumba cy’abashyitsi kugira ngo mbakire, ariko ntekereza ko nabanza kongera kureba. Isura y’ibyariho yari yahindutse. Ubu iryo tsinda ryagaragaraga nk’umutambagiro wa Gatolika. Umwe yari afite umusaraba mu ntoki, undi afite urubingo. Maze uko begerezaga, uwari ufite urubingo azenguruka inzu, avuga gatatu ati: ‘Iyi nzu yaraciwe. Imitungo igomba kunyagwa. Bavuze nabi kuri gahunda yacu yera.’ Ubwoba buramfata, niruka nyura mu nzu, nsohokera ku rugi rwo mu majyaruguru, mbona ndi hagati mu yindi mbaga, bamwe muri bo nari mbazi, ariko sinatinyukaga kugira ijambo na rimwe mbabwira, ntinya kugambanirwa. Nageragezaga gushaka ahantu hiherereye aho nashoboraga kuririra no gusenga ntahura n’amaso ashishikaye, asesengura, aho naba mpindukiye hose. Nakundaga gusubiramo nti: ‘Iyaba gusa nashoboraga gusobanukirwa ibi! Iyaba bamberaga icyo navuze cyangwa icyo nakoze!’”

> “Narize kandi nsenga cyane ubwo nabonaga ibyacu byimurwa ku ngufu. Nagerageje gusoma impuhwe cyangwa kugirirwa imbabazi ku bwanjye mu maso y’abari banzengurutse, kandi nitegereza mu maso ha bamwe natekerezaga ko bari kumbwira kandi bakampumuriza iyo bataba batinya ko abandi bababona. Nagerageje rimwe kuva muri iryo teraniro, ariko mbona ko nkiri gukurikiranwa, mpisha umugambi wanjye. Natangiye kurira numvikana, mvuga nti: ‘Iyaba gusa bambwira icyo nakoze cyangwa icyo navuze!’ Umugabo wanjye, wari usinziriye ku gitanda mu cyumba kimwe, yumvise ndira numvikana maze arankangura. Umusego wanjye wari wuzuye amarira, kandi nari mfite agahinda kenshi mu mutima.” Testimonies, volume 1, 577, 578.

Gukurikiza ihame rivuga ko abahanuzi bavuga cyane kurushaho ibyerekeye iminsi y’iherezo kuruta iminsi babayemo, bituma havuka ikibazo gikomeye cyane ku bayobozi b’itorero ry’Abadiventisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi. Mushiki wa White “yakoranyije” “inyandiko” ze maze atangira urugendo rwo gusubira i Battle Creek. Icyo gihe Battle Creek yari umutima w’umurimo, nk’uko Tacoma Park ari wo uyu munsi, cyangwa Yerusalemu mu minsi ya Kristo. Yakoranyije inyandiko ze kugira ngo ajyane na zo muri urwo rugendo, amaze kugaragaza intambara yari amaranye igihe yerekeye inyandiko ze. Imvugiro y’inzozi ze yerekeye inyandiko ze. Iyo ntambara yabereye mu mujyi wa Wright.

> “Igihe twari i Wright, twari twohereje ku biro by’icapiro inyandiko yanjye ya No. 11, kandi nari ngenda nkira hafi buri kanya kose iyo nabaga ntari mu materaniro, nandika ibyari ibya No. 12. Imbaraga zanjye, iz’umubiri n’iz’ubwenge, zari zararuhijwe cyane mu gihe nakoreraga itorero i Wright. Numvise ko nkeneye kuruhuka, ariko sinabashaga kubona uburyo ubwo ari bwo bwose bwo koroherezwa. Nababwiraga abantu incuro nyinshi mu cyumweru, kandi nkandika impapuro nyinshi z’ubuhamya bwihariye. Umutwaro w’ubugingo wari undiho, kandi inshingano numvaga zinkomereye zari nyinshi cyane ku buryo nabashaga kubona amasaha make gusa yo gusinzira buri joro.”

> “Ubwo nakoraga umurimo nk’uwo wo kuvuga no kwandika, nakiriye amabaruwa yavaga i Battle Creek afite imiterere icogoza intege. Uko nayasomaga numvise ncitse intege mu buryo butarondoreka, bigeze ku mubabaro ukabije wo mu mutima, maze igihe gito bisa n’ibihagarika imbaraga z’ubuzima bwanjye. Mu majoro atatu sinsinziriye hafi na busa. Ibitekerezo byanjye byari bihagaritse umutima kandi biteye urujijo. Nahishe uko nari meze uko nabishoboye ku mugabo wanjye no ku muryango w’impuhwe twabanagamo. Nta n’umwe wamenye umurimo nakoraga cyangwa umutwaro wari undemereye mu mutima, igihe nifatanyaga n’uwo muryango mu gusenga kwa mu gitondo no kwa nimugoroba, kandi nkagerageza gushyira umutwaro wanjye ku Murwaza-Mitwaro ukomeye. Ariko ibyo nasabaga byavaga mu mutima washenjaguwe n’agahinda, kandi amasengesho yanjye yaracikagurikaga kandi agatandukana kubera agahinda kadashoboraga gutegekwa. Amaraso yazamukaga mu bwonko bwanjye, kenshi bikantuma nsiyagira kandi nkenda kugwa. Nakundaga kuva amaraso mu mazuru, cyane cyane nyuma yo gushyiraho umwete wo kwandika. Nahatiwe guhagarika kwandika, ariko sinabashaga kwikuraho umutwaro wo guhangayika n’inshingano nari nfite, kuko nari nzi ko mfite ubuhamya bugenewe abandi ntashoboye kubugeza aho bari.”

> “Nongeye noherejwe urundi rwandiko, rumenyesha ko byatekerezwaga ko ari byiza gusubika gusohora inomero ya 11 kugeza igihe nzandikira ibyo nari neretswe byerekeye Ikigo Nderabuzima, kuko abari bashinzwe uwo murimo bari bakeneye cyane uburyo, kandi bakaba bakeneye imbaraga z’ubuhamya bwanjye kugira ngo bukangurire bene Data kugira icyo bakora. Maze nandika igice cy’ibyo nari neretswe byerekeye Ikigo, ariko sinashoboye kurangiza iyo ngingo yose kubera umuvuduko w’amaraso mu bwonko. Iyo nza kuba naratekereje ko inomero ya 12 izatinda bene ako kageni, sinari kohereza na gato icyo gice cy’iyo ngingo gikubiye mu inomero ya 11. Natekerezaga ko namara kuruhuka iminsi mike nkabona kongera gusubukura kwandika. Ariko byambabaje cyane kubona ko imimerere y’ubwonko bwanjye yatumaga bidashoboka ko nandika. Igitekerezo cyo kwandika ubuhamya, bwaba ubwa rusange cyangwa ubw’umuntu ku giti cye, cyarahagaritswe, kandi nahoraga mu mubabaro udashira kuko ntashoboraga kubwandika.”

> “Muri iyo mimerere y’ibintu hafashwe icyemezo ko twasubira i Battle Creek tukagumayo mu gihe imihanda yari yarabaye ibyondo kandi yarangiritse, kandi ko ari ho nari kuzuza No. 12. Umugabo wanjye yari ashishikajwe cyane no kubona bene se b’i Battle Creek no kuvugana na bo no kwishimana na bo mu murimo Imana yamukoreraga. Nakusanyije ibyo nanditse byose, maze dutangira urugendo rwacu. …” Testimonies, volume 1, 576, 577.

Mu minsi y’imperuka, ubuyobozi bw’Itorero ry’Abadivantisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi, bwashushanyijwe nka Battle Creek n’abo “yari azi neza,” bwahindutse urugendo rw’Abagatolika. Ubuyobozi bw’Itorero ry’Abadivantisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi bwahindutse urugendo rw’Abagatolika. Mu nzozi baje “babiri babiri,” umwe afite urubingo, undi afite umusaraba. Bashushanyije uruziga ruzengurutse inzu maze batangaza incuro eshatu bati: “Iyi nzu irabujijwe. Ibyo irimo bigomba kunyagwa. Bavuze ibirwanya gahunda yacu yera.” Ese “ibintu” biri muri iyo “nzu” abayobozi b’Abagatolika ba Battle Creek “banyaze” ni ibihe? Ni iyihe “gahunda yera” y’Itorero Gatolika “yarwanyijwe n’amagambo?”

Mu buryo burushijeho kugaragara, ikibazo cyashobora kuba iki: “Ni uwuhe mutwe wa Gatolika wabaye uwa mbere mu Buyobozi bw’Urukiko rw’Inkizisiyo?” Inkizisiyo yatangijwe n’umutwe w’Abadominikani, mbere y’uko Abayezuwiti bagaragara mu mateka, ariko bamaze kubigiramo uruhare, bahinduka umutwe wagize ishyaka ryo gushyigikira ubugome no kumena amaraso.

> “Mu isi yose ya Gikristo, Ubuporotesitanti bwari bugoswe n’abanzi bakomeye kandi bateye ubwoba. Intsinzi za mbere z’Ubugorozi zimaze kurenga, Roma yahamagaje ingabo nshya, yiringiye kuzarimbura Ubuporotesitanti. Muri icyo gihe ni bwo hashinzwe umutwe w’Abayezuwiti, wari ubugome burenze, utagira amahame namba, kandi ukomeye cyane kurusha abandi bose barwaniraga ubupapa. Batandukanyijwe n’isano ryose ryo ku isi n’inyungu z’abantu, bapfuye ku byo urukundo rwa kamere rubasaba, ubwenge n’umutimanama byacecekeshejwe rwose, nta tegeko bari bazi, nta sano bari bafite, keretse iry’umutwe wabo gusa, kandi nta nshingano bari bafite uretse iyo kwagura ububasha bwawo. Ubutumwa bwiza bwa Kristo bwari bwarashoboje ababukurikira guhangana n’akaga no kwihanganira imibabaro, badacika intege imbere y’imbeho, inzara, imiruho n’ubukene, no gushyigikira ibendera ry’ukuri imbere y’ikorwa ry’iyicarubozo, gereza, n’inkingi y’umuriro. Kugira ngo Abayezuwiti barwanye izo mbaraga, bayobowe n’ubuyobe bw’ubushake bukabije bwabashoboje kwihanganira akaga nk’ako, no kurwanya imbaraga z’ukuri bakoresheje intwaro zose z’uburiganya. Nta cyaha na kimwe cyabaga gikomeye cyane ku buryo batagikora, nta buriganya na bumwe bwabaga bubi cyane ku buryo batabukoresha, kandi nta kwiyoberanya na kumwe kwabaga gukomeye cyane ku buryo batagushobora. Nubwo bari barahiriye ubukene n’ukwicisha bugufi by’iteka ryose, umugambi wabo watekerejwe neza wari uwo kwigwizaho ubutunzi n’ububasha, no kwitangira guhirika Ubuporotesitanti no kongera gushyiraho ubutware bw’ikirenga bwa papa.”

Imyaka ibiri mbere y’uko antikristo ahabwa umudari wa zahabu n’umuyobozi w’Itorero ry’Abadiventisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi ry’i Lawodikiya, mu mwaka wa 1975, Itorero ry’Abadiventisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi ryarezwe mu rubanza; EEOC v. Pacific Press Publishing Association (Urubanza No. C-74-2025 CBR mu Rukiko rw’Akarere rwa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika rw’Akarere ka Ruguru ka California), aho Komisiyo Ishinzwe Amahirwe Angana mu Mirimo yareze inzu y’itorero y’icapiro mu izina ry’abakozi babiri b’igitsinagore—Merikay Silver (wari uwahoze ari umwanditsi wari waramaze kugenda ubwo urubanza rwatangiraga) na Lorna Tobler—ivuga ko habayeho ivangura rishingiye ku gitsina mu mishahara no mu nyungu z’akazi. Itorero ryireguye ku mikorere yaryo, igice kimwe kikaba cyari gishingiye ku kwiyambaza ubusonerwe bushingiye ku idini no ku gusobanura imiterere y’imiyoborere yaryo.

Mu nyandiko y’indahiro yo ku wa 6 Gashyantare 1976 (imwe mu nyandiko zo kwisobanura zashyikirijwe urukiko), Neal C. Wilson (icyo gihe wari perezida w’Ishami rya Amerika y’Amajyaruguru ry’itorero, nyuma akaza kuba perezida w’Inteko Rusange kuva mu 1979–1990) yavuze ku myumvire y’amateka y’itorero ku birebana na Kiliziya Gatolika y’i Roma. Iyo nyandiko yatanzwe mu rwego rwo kujya impaka ku kuvuga ko itorero rifite “ubuyobozi bukuru bw’ikirenga” busa n’ubw’imitegekere ya gipapa. Amagambo yose arebana n’ibi ni aya: “Nubwo ari ukuri ko habayeho igihe mu mibereho y’Itorero ry’Abadivantisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi aho iri dini ryafashe icyerekezo kigaragara cyo kurwanya Kiliziya Gatolika y’i Roma, kandi ijambo ‘ubuyobozi bukuru bw’ikirenga’ rikakoreshwa mu buryo bwo gusuzugura ryerekeza ku buryo bwa gipapa bwo gutegeka itorero, iyo myifatire y’Itorero nta kindi yari cyo uretse kugaragaza urwango rwari rwarakwirakwiye rwo kurwanya ubupapa mu madini y’Abaporotesitanti b’abak konservatifu mu ntangiriro z’iki kinyejana no mu mpera z’icyabanje, kandi ubu, ku birebana n’Itorero ry’Abadivantisiti b’Umunsi wa Karindwi, yamaze kujugunywa ku kirundo cy’imyanda y’amateka.”

Ibi byagaragaje kwimuka kure y’ubusobanuro bwa kinyakubiri busanzwe bw’itorero ku by’ubuhanuzi, bwabonaga ubupapa nk’“inyamaswa” cyangwa antikristo uvugwa mu Byahishuwe. Abanenga bo mu itorero no hanze yaryo babisobanuye nk’igikorwa cyo kugabanya uburemere bw’uwo mwanya urwanya Gatolika cyangwa kuwureka burundu, kugira ngo bihuze n’ubumenyerane bw’amadini bwo muri iki gihe cyangwa n’ubwunganizi bwo mu rwego rw’amategeko. Mu 1985, Wilson yise Abaperezida b’Amashami anyuranye y’itorero “abakardinali,” ubwo yavugaga ati, “… nta ‘kardinali’ n’umwe uri mu bihugu byose by’Iburasirazuba bwa kure, mu gihe bishoboka ko muri Afurika hazaba hari ‘abakardinali’ babiri.”

Mushiki White yavuze ko ari itorero ryasubiye inyuma rigabanya intera iri hagati yaryo na papa! Kwemera ubwumvikane kwa gahunda ya gatatu gushushanywa no kuririra Tammuzi muri Ezekieli umunani, kandi no kubwumvikane bwa Perugamo. Igisekuru cya mbere kuva mu 1863 kugeza mu 1888 cyagereranyaga itorero rya Efeso, itorero ryatakaje urukundo rwaryo rwa mbere; kandi urukundo rwa mbere rw’imigendere ya Millerite rwari ubutumwa bw’ubuhanuzi, kandi igice cya mbere cy’ubwo butumwa bw’ubuhanuzi cyari “ibihe birindwi” byashyizwe ku ruhande mu 1863.

Kuva mu 1888 kugeza mu 1919, urubyaro rwa kabiri rugereranywa na Simuruna n’ibyumba by’ibanga bya Ezekiyeli, rwabonye urupfu rw’Umwuka w’Ubuhanuzi, ubwo Mushiki wa Muryango White yashyingurwaga mu 1915. Hakenewe ibisobanuro birambuye by’izo nzego enye z’urubyaro kugira ngo ubuhamya bwuzuzwe, ariko kwigomeka kwagiye gukura buhoro buhoro kugomba gusobanuka neza kugira ngo umuntu asobanukirwe byuzuye ukuntu ubwoko bwahakanye ukwizera bwashoboraga “kubuzanya” inyandiko za Ellen White, cyangwa ukuntu bwashoboraga guteza imbere umunsi wa mbere w’icyumweru nk’uwemewe. Yuda akorana n’“abasindiriye bo muri Efurayimu” “bategeka ubu bwoko” i Yerusalemu, kandi abategeka i Yerusalemu kandi bakunamira izuba, bagereranywa n’Urukiko rw’Ikirenga rw’Abayahudi.

Benshi barebye abari mu yandi matorero nk’abanyabyaha bakomeye, nyamara Umwami ntabareba atyo. Abareba batyo abanyamuryango b’andi matorero, bakeneye kwicisha bugufi munsi y’ukuboko gukomeye kw’Imana. Abo baciraho iteka bashobora kuba baragize umucyo muke gusa, amahirwe make n’uburenganzira buke. Iyo baza kuba baragize umucyo benshi mu banyamuryango b’amatorero yacu bagize, bashoboraga kuba barateye imbere cyane kurushaho, kandi bakagaragariza isi ukwizera kwabo neza kurushaho. Kuri ba bandi birata umucyo bafite, nyamara ntibawugenderemo, Kristo aravuga ati, ‘Ariko ndababwira yuko ku munsi w’urubanza i Tiro n’i Sidoni bizarushaho kworoherwa kurusha mwe. Kandi wowe Kapenawumu [Abadiventisti b’umunsi wa karindwi, bahawe umucyo mwinshi], wazamuwe ukagezwa mu ijuru [ku bw’uburenganzira], uzamanurirwa ikuzimu: kuko iyo imirimo ikomeye yakorewe muri wowe iza gukorerwa i Sodomu, iba ikiriho kugeza n’uyu munsi. Ariko ndakubwira yuko ku munsi w’urubanza igihugu cy’i Sodomu kizarushaho kworoherwa kurusha wowe.’ Muri icyo gihe Yesu arasubiza ati, ‘Ngushimiye, Data, Mwami w’ijuru n’isi, kuko wahishe ibi bintu abanyabwenge n’abahanga [mu kwibwira kwabo], ukabihishurira impinja.’”

> “Kandi noneho, kuko mwakoze ibyo bikorwa byose, ni ko Uwiteka avuga, kandi nabavugishaga, nkiri kare mbyuka nkavuga, ariko ntimwumva; kandi narabahamagaye, ariko ntimwasubiza; ni cyo gituma iyi nzu yitwa izina ryanjye, iyo mwiringiye, n’aha hantu nabahaye mwe na ba sogokuruza, nzahagirira nk’ibyo nagiriye i Shilo. Kandi nzabirukana imbere y’amaso yanjye, nk’uko nirukanye bene wanyu bose, ari bo rubyaro rwose rwa Efurayimu.”

Bigomba kuyoborwa amaso ahanzwe icyubahiro cyayo cyonyine, kugira ngo uko byagenda kose ubugingo burimbuka bukizwe. Ku bwoko bw’Imana hatanzwe ubuhamya bw’Umwuka, nyamara benshi ntibita ku byo bakosowe, ku miburo, no ku nama.

Kandi naho imipfunda yaco yisuka, ntishobora kunesha; naho itontoma, ntishobora kururenga. Ariko aba bantu bafise umutima w’akagambaraye n’uw’ubugarariji; baragararije, barigira. Kandi ntibavuga mu mitima yabo bati: Dutinye none Uhoraho Imana yacu, itanga imvura, iy’imbere n’iy’inyuma, mu gihe cayo; ikaturindira indwi zagenywe zo kwimbura. Ubugoryi bwanyu ni bwo bwakuyeho ivyo bintu, kandi ivyaha vyanyu ni vyo vyabimye ivyiza.... Ntibacira urubanza urubanza rw’impfuvyi, mugabo bagatera imbere; kandi ntibacira imanza z’abakene.
