Tiri kuzivisa 1863 senzvimbo yokupedzisira yokuedzwa murondedzero yokuedzwa kwakavambwa panguva yokusuwa kukuru kwa1844. Chidimbu chedu chokutanga chomusoro ndechekuti kufamba kwaMillerite kwakaguma apo kereke yeSeventh-day Adventist yakanyoreswa zviri pamutemo nehurumende yeUnited States mugore iroro chairo. Kufamba kwakatanga nenzira youprofita muna 1798, kwakaguma muna 1863.

Uvuselelo lusazisa ukuthi lapho ingelosi enamandla yesAmbulo 18 yehla ngoSepthemba 11, 2001, lowo mcimbi wawusuwumfanekiselo kakade enhlanganweni yamaMillerite ngesikhathi ingelosi yesAmbulo 10 yehla. Inhlangano yamaMillerite yaqala ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1798, lapho umbono womfula i-Ulai kaDaniyeli izahluko 8 no-9 uvulwa. Inhlangano yabayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane yaqala ngesikhathi sokuphela ngo-1989, lapho umbono womfula i-Hiddekel wezahluko ezintathu zokugcina zikaDaniyeli uvulwa.

Panguva mbiri dzokuguma, kupatsanurwa kunofambira mberi kwevanhu vekare vakasarudzwa kwakabva kwatanga kubva kuna avo vaiva mukufamba kwenhoroondo dzavo dzakatevedzana. Apo mutemo mukuru wenhoroondo imwe neimwe wakasimbiswa pachena, ngirozi yenhoroondo imwe neimwe yakaburuka. Shoko, kufamba, nomutumwa ndizvo zvakanga zviri zvishandiso zvakashandiswa naShe munhoroondo imwe neimwe kuratidza chivi chevanhu vekare vakasarudzwa; nokuti sezvakadzidzisa Kristu pamusoro pebasa Rake, dai asina kuuya, vaJudha venhoroondo vanokakavara vangadai vasina chivi. Mutumwa, shoko, nekufamba ndizvo zvakanga zviri zvishandiso zvokutonga zvaizoita kuti vanhu vekare vakasarudzwa vazvidavirire nokuda kwokuramba chiedza chinofambira mberi chenhoroondo dzavo dzakatevedzana, uye apo ngirozi yakaburuka, zvakacherechedza kuti nzira yokutongwa kwevanhu vesungano yekare yakanga yatanga. Chishandiso chokutonga chinozivikanwa apo vaporofita vanoratidza nhoroondo iyoyo vanodya shoko ravakapiwa naShe. Pavanodya shoko, vanobva vaendesa shoko iroro kuvanhu vekare vakasarudzwa, vanoratidzwa savanhu vane mitsipa yakaomarara uye vanomukira, vasingazonzwi uye vasingazotendeuki. Kana ngirozi yangoburuka uye shoko radyiwa, kutongwa kwevanhu vanomukira kunotanga.

Isu tiri kushandisa nzira yokutonga yeIsraeri yekare, sezvainoratidzwa mubhuku raNumeri, kunhoroondo yesangano reMillerite; uye pakupedzisira tichashandisa nzira iyi yokuedzwa kusangano revane zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina. Chiratidzo chenhamba yokuti “gumi” chinofanira kutsanangurwa maererano nemamiriro endima yachinoshandiswa mairi.

Ulukulwano lweemvavanyo ezilishumi luqala ekudanisweni, nokuba kuseLwandle oluBomvu kwaSirayeli wamandulo okanye ngo-Oktobha 22, 1844 kumaMillerite. USister White uchonga iinyaniso “ezingumqondiso osisigxina” ezavuleka ngelo xesha, eqala ngoko wakubiza ngokuba “kukudlula kwexesha.” Ukudana kwamaHebhere kwakusisoyikiso somkhosi kaFaro. Ukuswela kwamaHebhere ukholo emandleni kaThixo kwabonakaliswa ekusabeleni kwawo kuloyiko lomkhosi weentshaba zawo, kanye njengokuba kwakunjalo nakuvavanyo lweshumi nolokugqibela. UYesu ubonakalisa isiphelo kususela ekuqaleni, ngoko ke uloyiko lwezigebenga eziseZweni leDinga, ezachongwa ziintlola ezilishumi, lwalulolo loyiko lunye olwalukwavelise ukudana kwawo ngaseLwandle oluBomvu. Uvavanyo lweshumi nolokugqibela lwentshukumo yamaMillerite lwalunokuba sisiprofeto sexesha, njengoko kwakunjalo ngo-Oktobha 22, 1844.

Kukuvadzwa kukuru mukuedzwa kwaifambira mberi kwenhoroondo yeMillerite kwakaratidza kutanga kwenhoroondo yakanga yatomiririrwa pachena nerusununguko rwaIsraeri yekare kubva muEgipita. Kutangira paGungwa Dzvuku pakava nenhevedzano yemiedzo gumi, uye muedzo wokupedzisira waizoratidza wokutanga. “Kupfuura kwenguva” panguva yokukuvadzwa kukuru kwakakonzerwa nokusanzwisisa chiporofita chenguva. Wokupedzisira wemuedzo uyu kuna Israeri yomweya waizova wakafanana nowokutanga. Muna 1863, vatungamiri vaIsraeri chaiyo vakasarudza kudzokera kunzira yebhaibheri yaavo vavainge vachangobva kuzivisa sevakunda veRoma, uye vakaramba, kana kuti mungati, vakasanzwisisa chiporofita chenguva chakarebesa muBhaibheri. Kuguma kwemiedzo gumi muna Israeri chaiyo nomuna Israeri yomweya kwakamiririrwa nokutanga. Uye pakuguma, muzviitiko zvose zviri zviviri, vapanduki vakaratidza chido chokudzokera kunzvimbo yavakanga vachangobva kununurwa kubva mairi.

Nokwala ukuwulandza lokuphindvwe kasikhombisa kwaLevitikusi 26, bu-Adventist baseLawodisiya badala inkinga yesiprofetho lebebangakayiboni kusengaphambili. Kuze kube ngulamuhla abasakakhona kuyichazulula leyo nkinga, nobe baniketa tinhlobonhlobo “tetijadla” tetinganekwane ngekutama kuyisombulula. Leyo nkinga isemvesini lowo Dzadze White lawukhomba njengesisekelo nensika lenkhulu yemkhatsi ye-Adventism.

> “Ibhali elingcwele, ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye, elalibe yisisekelo kanye nensika emaphakathi yokholo lwe-Advent, kwakuyisimemezelo esithi, ‘Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona-ke indlu engcwele iyakuhlanzwa.’ [Daniyeli 8:14.]” The Great Controversy, 409.

Uadiventista hune zvakawanda zvavanotaura pamusoro pendima yegumi neina, asi havambobati ongororo yokutanga chaiyo inofanira kuitwa pamusoro pendima yacho. Ongororo iyoyo ndeyekuti ndima yegumi neina i“mhinduro.” Mhinduro haina zvarinoreva, kana isina kubatanidza mubvunzo unomutsa mhinduro yacho. Ndima yegumi netatu haigoni, maererano nepfungwa, negirama, kana nokunzwisisa kunotarisirwa, kupatsanurwa nendima yegumi neina, nokuti ndima yegumi netatu ndiwo mubvunzo uye ndima yegumi neina ndiyo mhinduro.

Umbvunzo, nxa umelelwe ngokufaneleyo langokungakhethi, uveza incazelo ehluke kakhulu ngevesi letshumi lane kulaleyo efundiswa yi-Adventism. Lokhu akutsho ukuthi ivesi letshumi lane kalisiso “isisekelo lensika ephakathi yokholo lwe-Advent,” ngoba liyiso. Kutsho ukuthi ngesikhathi i-Adventism ingaqondanga kahle yase ibeka eceleni izikhathi eziyisikhombisa ngo-1863, yehluleka ukuchaza ngokupheleleyo ukuthi ivesi letshumi lane litshoni ngeqiniso. EmiBhalweni, ihafu yeqiniso kayisilo iqiniso. Nxa kuqondwa ngokufaneleyo, umbuzo wevesi letshumi lantathu ufuna ukuvuma isiprofetho esiphawula ukuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele eyayinyathelwe phansi, njalo ufuna ukuvuma isiprofetho esiphawula ukunyathelwa phansi kwebutho. Isiprofetho seminyaka eyinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu amathathu sikhuluma “ngendlu engcwele,” njalo isiprofetho seminyaka eyinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu amahlanu lamatshumi amabili sikhuluma “ngebutho.”

Kuti titsanangure ukama hwendima mbiri idzi zvinoda chidzidzo chakareba, chandisiri kuda kuita panguva ino muzvinyorwa izvi. Nyaya idzi dzakadzokororwa kutaurwa mumakore ose akapfuura uye dzinogona kuwanikwa munhevedzano inonzi Habakkuk’s Tables. Ndichiri kutarisana nechiratidzo chaEria uye ndinoshuva kutanga ndapedza zvokwadi idzodzo.

William Miller alikuwa Eliya wa mwanzo wa Uadventista, na ugunduzi wake wa kwanza ulikuwa ni zile nyakati saba za Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita; kwa hiyo, kukataliwa kwa kweli hiyo mwaka 1863 kulikuwa kukataliwa kwa ujumbe wa Eliya. Katika hatua hii ninashughulikia tabia ya Alfa na Omega inayoitambulisha mwisho kwa mwanzo. Jaribu la mwisho kwa Israeli ya kale liliwakilishwa katika jaribu la kwanza. Majaribu yote mawili yanawakilisha hofu kwamba mataifa ya kipagani yalikuwa na nguvu zaidi kuliko Mungu. Jaribu la kumi, likiwa lilelile katika kanuni, lilikuwa la uasi mkuu zaidi kuliko jaribu la kwanza, kwa maana historia ya ushindi wa Mungu katika jaribu la kwanza ilipaswa kuwa imezalisha tumaini thabiti katika wale waasi. Walidhihirisha kuukataa kwao Mungu licha ya kuwa na ushahidi mwingi zaidi wa uweza Wake kuliko waliokuwa nao katika Bahari ya Shamu. Uadventista wa Kimilleri kufikia mwaka 1863 ulikuwa tayari ukieleza kwa nini msiba mkuu ulikuwa kazi yenye nguvu ya Mungu, lakini bado waliamua kujichagulia kiongozi na kurudi Misri na kuukataa ujumbe ambao Danieli anauita “kiapo” cha Musa uliokuwa umewakilishwa na Eliya.

Panzvimbo pokutora nguva yokurondedzera humbowo hunoratidza ukoshi hwenguva nomwe sechiporofita chenguva, ndinoda kushandisa pfungwa dzakareruka kuti ndiratidze ukoshi hwayo neimwe nzira. Nokuti kusangano rakatanga muna 1798, muedzo wokupedzisira wa1863 waizomirirawo muedzo wokupedzisira wesangano rengirozi ine simba raZvakazarurwa gumi nesere. Kufemerwa kwakanyatsojekesa kuti muedzo wokupedzisira ndeupi kumasangano ose ari maviri.

> “සාතන් යනු... නිරන්තරයෙන්ම ව්‍යාජ දේ ඉදිරිපත් කරමින්—සත්‍යයෙන් ඉවතට ගෙන යාමට උත්සාහ කරන්නේය. සාතන්ගේ අවසානම රැවටීම වන්නේ දෙවියන්වහන්සේගේ ආත්මයේ සාක්ෂිය අකාර්යක්ෂම කර දැමීමය. ‘දර්ශනය නැති තැන සෙනඟ විනාශ වෙති’ (හිතෝපදේශ 29:18).” Selected Messages, කෘතිය 1, 48.

Hakuna njia ya uaminifu ya kuyachukua maandishi ya Ellen White na kupendekeza kwamba hakuunga mkono kikamilifu “nyakati saba” za Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita. Dada White, kama tulivyokwisha kubainisha hapo awali katika makala hizi na kama ilivyothibitishwa kwa kina katika mfululizo wenye kichwa *Meza za Habakuki*, anatufahamisha moja kwa moja kwamba Mungu aliongoza chati za 1843 na 1850. Anafundisha moja kwa moja kwamba meza hizo mbili zilikuwa utimizo wa Habakuki sura ya pili. Chati zote mbili zinaitambulisha “nyakati saba” za Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita kuwa kitovu cha mpangilio wake wa kielelezo husika. Katika chati zote mbili, mstari wa “nyakati saba” una msalaba wa Kristo kuwa kitovu cha mstari wa kiunabii wa “nyakati saba.”

Pamwe chete nekusimbisa kwake matafura maviri aHabhakuki, akanyora kakawanda kuti tinofanira kuramba tichiparidza shoko rakaparidzwa kubva muna 1840 kusvika muna 1844, uye munyori wenhoroondo yose yeAdventist anobata nzira iyo vaMillerite vakasimudzira nayo shoko ravakaparidza, anoratidza kuti vakashandisa chati ya1843. Haangotsigiri chete mashoko anomiririrwa pamachati, uye kurayira vanhu vaMwari kuti varambe vachiparidza iwo mamwe mashoko chaiwo akaparidzwa munhoroondo iyoyo, asiwo anopa ndima zhinji umo anoyambira kuti mashoko iwayo aizorwiswa mukati menhoroondo yose yevanhu vasara vaMwari. Paanoyambira pamusoro pekurwiswa ikoko, anoramba achiratidza kuti ibasa ravarindi vaMwari kudzivirira chokwadi ichocho chaicho.

Kana machati acho asiri iwo, zvino mashoko aanomiririra nenzira yemifananidzo haasi iwo. Kana shoko rakaparidzwa nevaMillerite kubva muna 1840 kusvikira muna 1844 rakanga risiri iro, zvino kuzivisa kwaEllen White kwakadzokororwa kuti shoko revaMillerite ndiro hwaro kunenge kusiri iko zvakare. Kana mashoko iwayo akanga asiri iwo, mirairo yake yakadzokororwa yokuti varambe vachiparidza idzodzo chokwadi dzimwe chetezvo inova zano renhema. Kana shoko revaMillerite risingamiri nheyo dzaifanira kuchengetedzwa nokurindwa pakurwiswa kwaSatani, zvino mazano iwayo anengewo akakanganisika. Kusvika pamhedziso yokuti nyaya idzi dzose dzine chokuita neshoko raEriya renhoroondo iyoyo dzakakanganisika, kwaizoratidza pachena kuti Ellen White aiva muporofita wenhema.

Adventism yemazuva ano ichiri kudzidzisa pamaSeminari ayo eZvakazarurwa kuti kereke yasara yaizova neMweya weChiporofita, inova uchapupu hwaJesu; asi zvirokwazvo havaudzi avo vavari kutsvaga kukwevera muunhengo hwechechi kuti vanoramba zvizere kutsigira kwaEllen White pamwe chete neyambiro dzake dzine chekuita nechokwadi ichocho chokutanga chemavambo nenhoroondo yacho. Ndima inotevera inorevei kwauri?

Muna 1863, sangano reMillerite rakasvika pamagumo aro rikazvinyoresa zviri pamutemo nehurumende, iyo yaizopedzisira yaumba mufananidzo weupapa, izvo maererano nedudziro yaEllen White zvinoreva kubatanidzwa kwechechi nehurumende.

> “Mumafambiro ari kuitika zvino muUnited States okuti masangano nemiitiro yechechi zvitsigirwe nehurumende, maPurotesitendi ari kutevera tsoka dzemaPapisita. Uyezve, ari kuvhurira Upapa musuwo wokuti huwanazve muAmerica yePurotesitendi ukuru hwesimba hwaakarasikirwa nahwo muNyika Yekare.” The Great Controversy, 573.

Pasi pechikonzero chokuti kubatana kwepamutemo nehurumende kwaive chikamu chezvaidikanwa pakurongeka, panguva iyo vechidiki verudzi vakanga vachinyoreswa kuti vaende mudziva reropa raizivikanwa seHondo yeVagari Vemo, kufamba kwevaMillerite kwakaguma. Muna 1863, kubudikidza nechinyorwa chakadhindwa pamwe chete nechati itsva, kereke yeSeventh-day Adventist yakaramba chiporofita cheuranda icho Danieri anodana kuti mhiko yaMozisi. Muna 1850, Ishe vakanga varayira vanhu Vavo kuti vaite tafura yechipiri yaHabhakuki, uye vagadzirise kukanganisa kwaVakanga vabata ruoko rwavo pamusoro pako patafura ya1843. Chati yakarairwa muna 1850 yakazadzisa zvizere chinangwa chayo, nokuti Ellen White akati akaona “kuti Mwari vakanga vari mukubudiswa kwechati,” panguva imwe cheteyo achiratidzawo kuti chati ya1850 yakanga ichizivikanwa muna Habhakuki chitsauko chechipiri.

Mantiki ninayokusudia kuhitimisha nayo makala hii ni ile ambayo tayari nimeitaja. Je, Mungu kupitia kwa Ellen White aliidhinisha chati za 1843 na 1850?
