Patinounza kufunga ufahamu wetu juu ya suala la sasa kwa kuleta pamoja hatua kwa hatua, mstari juu ya mstari, uchunguzi wa mabishano mbalimbali yaliyotokea katika historia ya Waadventista, tumechukua sifa teule za mistari mitano ya unabii. Mstari wa kwanza pia ndio mstari wa mwisho, kwa kuwa mabishano yote mawili yalitegemezwa moja kwa moja juu ya aya ya kumi na nne ya Danieli kumi na moja kuhusu “wanyang’anyi wa watu wako.” Tulizingatia mabishano ya Uriah Smith na James White na pia mabishano kuhusu “sadaka ya kila siku” katika kitabu cha Danieli. Tulizingatia pia mabishano yaliyotokea baada ya kufunuliwa kwa aya sita za mwisho za Danieli kumi na moja mwaka 1989, kuhusu mfalme wa kaskazini. Kisha tulizingatia wadudu wanne wa kitabu cha Yoeli. Kuna mengi zaidi ambayo yangeweza kuongezwa kwa kila mmoja wa mistari hii, lakini sisi tunatenga tu baadhi ya tabia zilizochangia misimamo iliyokataa kweli zilizounganishwa na somo la Roma.

Nhoroondo shanu, asi yekutanga ichivawo yekupedzisira, inomirira mitsetse mitanhatu. Mamiriro echiporofita emitsetse iyi yekukakavadzana ndiwo mazuva okupedzisira; naizvozvo, nokuda kwechikonzero ichi, mitsetse iyi inofanira kushandiswa panguva yomuedzo wemufananidzo wechikara.

Jaribio la kuundwa kwa sanamu ya mnyama ni, kama ilivyo kwa mistari mingine sita ya mabishano, jaribio linalohusu somo la kinabii la Rumi. Jaribio kuu linalotokea kabla watu wa Mungu hawajatiwa muhuri linahusu kuundwa kwa sanamu ya mnyama wa Kirumi. Mnyama huyo ni mamlaka ya upapa, na Marekani huunda sanamu ya mamlaka ya upapa inapoendelea kuelekea sheria ya Jumapili iliyo karibu kuja.

Umthetho weSonto e-United States ukhomba ukuthi umfanekiso wesilo usumiswe ngokugcwele e-United States.

> “Asi mukuita chaiko kumanikidza basa rechitendero nesimba renyika, machechi pachawo aizogadzira mufananidzo wechikara; naizvozvo kumanikidzwa kwekuchengeta Svondo muUnited States kwaizova kumanikidzwa kwekunamata chikara nomufananidzo wacho.” The Great Controversy, 449.

Pamutemo wo paSabata, mufananidzo wechikara unenge waumbwa zvizere muUnited States, uye ipapo United States inenge yapatsanurwa zvachose naMwari, uye inobva yatanga basa rayo rechiporofita rokumanikidza nyika yose kuumba mufananidzo wechikara. Pamutemo wo paSabata muUnited States, Satani anotanga basa rake rinoshamisa mukutungamirira ndudzi dzenyika kuti dzidzokorore muitiro wokuumba mufananidzo wechikara unobatanidza ndudzi dzose dzenyika.

> “Nechisungo chinomanikidza kusimbiswa kwehumambo hwePapa chichityora mutemo waMwari, nyika yedu ichazvibvisa zvachose pakururama. Kana chiPurotesitendi chikatambanudza ruoko rwacho richiyambuka gomba guru kuti chibate ruoko rwesimba reRoma, kana chikayambukira pamusoro pegomba rakadzika kuti chibatane neMweyaismu, kana, pasi pesimba remubatanidzwa uyu wakapetwa katatu, nyika yedu ikaramba nheyo imwe neimwe yeBumbiro rayo sehurumende yechiPurotesitendi neyechirepublic, uye ikagadzirira nzira yokuparadzirwa kwenhema nokunyengera zveupapa, ipapo tinogona kuziva kuti nguva yasvika yokushanda kunoshamisa kwaSatani uye kuti kuguma kwava pedyo.” Testimonies, vhoriyamu 5, 451.

Panguva ichauya nokukurumidza yemutemo weSvondo muUnited States, Satani, achibatana neUnited States, achamanikidza rudzi rwose kuti rwatevere muenzaniso weUnited States mukugadza hurongwa hunobatanidza chechi nehurumende, uye mukusimbisa kunamatwa kweSvondo.

> “സാത്താൻ ഭൂമിയിൽ വസിക്കുന്നവരെ വഞ്ചിപ്പാനായി അത്ഭുതങ്ങൾ പ്രവർത്തിക്കും. ആത്മവാദം മരിച്ചവരെ അനുകരിക്കപ്പെടുന്നതിനാൽ തന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തി നിർവഹിക്കും. ദൈവത്തിന്റെ മുന്നറിയിപ്പിന്റെ സന്ദേശങ്ങൾ കേൾക്കാൻ നിരസിക്കുന്ന ആ മതസംഘടനകൾ ശക്തമായ വഞ്ചനയുടെ അധീനതയിൽ ആകും; അവർ വിശുദ്ധന്മാരെ പീഡിപ്പാൻ സിവിൽ അധികാരത്തോടു ചേർന്നു പ്രവർത്തിക്കും. കല്പനകൾ കാത്തുസൂക്ഷിക്കുന്ന ദൈവജനത്തെ പീഡിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിൽ പ്രൊട്ടസ്റ്റന്റ് സഭകൾ പാപ്പാധികാര ശക്തിയോടു ഏകീകരിക്കും. മനുഷ്യരുടെ മനസ്സാക്ഷികളിന്മേൽ ആത്മീയ അധിനിവേശം പ്രയോഗിക്കുന്ന മഹത്തായ പീഡനവ്യവസ്ഥയെ രൂപപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന ശക്തി ഇതുതന്നെയാകുന്നു.”

> “‘Aive nhema mbiri dzakanga dzakaita sedzegwayana, uye wakataura seshato.’ Kunyange hazvo vachizviti vateveri veGwayana raMwari, vanhu vanozadzwa nomweya weshato. Vanoti vane unyoro nokuzvininipisa, asi vanotaura uye vanoita mitemo nomweya waSatani, vachiratidza namabasa avo kuti vakapesana nezvavanoti ndivo. Simba iri rakafanana negwayana rinobatana neshato pakurwisa avo vanochengeta mirayiro yaMwari uye vane uchapupu hwaJesu Kristu. Uye Satani anobatanawo navaPurotesitendi navapapa, achiita sungano navo samwari wenyika ino, achirayira vanhu sokunge kuti vari pasi paumambo hwake, kuti aitwe navo, avatonge, uye avadzore sezvaanoda.

Amandla obupapa ayisilo lesilo, iNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene iyisilo esikhulu, kanti i-United States iyimprofethi wamanga. Labo abadidekayo ngencazelo yomphikukristu, onguyena kokubili uSathane nommeleli kaSathane emhlabeni, upapa waseRoma, bayogcina sebesohlangothini lomphikukristu.

United States haisi munhu wechivi. Munhu wechivi ndiye antikirisito, uye ndiye mumiriri waSatani panyika. Kuvhiringidza simba rinogadza upapa pachigaro chenyika neupapa pachahwo kunomiririrwa naPauro sechiratidzo chokusatenda chokwadi. Kuramba ukama hwechiporofita hweRoma yechihedheni, iyo yakadzivisa simba roupapa kusvikira Roma yechihedheni yabviswa, kuti simba roupapa rizoratidzwa, sezvazvakaiswa muna 2 VaTesaronika chitsauko 2, ndiko kuramba kudururwa kwoMweya Mutsvene nokugamuchira kudururwa kwomweya usiri mutsvene, uyo Pauro anoti kunyengerwa kukuru. Zvakadaro, mumwe nomumwe wavaporofita vekare akataura zvakananga zvikuru pamusoro pamazuva okupedzisira kupfuura mazuva avakararama maari.

IRoma yobuhedeni lomuntu wesono kweyesiBili kwabaseThesalonika kumele i-United States neRoma lobupapa bezinsuku zokucina. Ukungaqondi leliqiniso kutshengisa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuthi lanxa umuntu engathi usekela ukuhumutsha kwakhe okuyimfihlo phezu kwesimiso se-“type and antitype,” kambe akaqondi “type and antitype.” I-United States ifanekiswe ngamandla amanengi emlandweni ongcwele. Wonke amandla alophondo ezimbili amele i-United States ngezinsuku zokucina, loba kuyimibuso yasenyakatho leyaseningizimu yako-Israyeli, uMbuso wamaMede lamaPheresiya, kumbe iFrance engakholwayo kuNkulunkulu efanekiswe yiSodoma leGibhithe.

Muna 496, Clovis, mambo wa Vafaranki, anamfananisha Marekani katika enzi ya Ronald Reagan. Justinian katika mwaka 533 anamwakilisha Donald Trump kabla ya sheria ya Jumapili. Katika kila mfano wa kinabii, Marekani inawakilisha mamlaka inayoinama kwa kujitiisha chini ya mamlaka ya upapa ya siku za mwisho. Mamlaka inayoinama kwa kujitiisha inaonyeshwa kuwa inatoa heshima kwa Rumi. Tendo la “heshima” linajumuisha kuinama mbele ya mfalme, ambaye ndiye kichwa.

> Zvaoneswa kuti United States ndiro simba rinomiririrwa nechikara chine nyanga dzakaita sedzegwayana, uye kuti chiporofita ichi chichazadzikiswa apo United States ichamanikidza kuchengetwa kweSvondo, uko Roma inoti ndiko kubvuma kwakatanhamara kwazvo kwoushe hwayo. Asi mukukudza uku kunopiwa hupapa, United States haizovi yoga. Simba reRoma munyika dzakambobvuma kutongwa kwayo richiri kure zvikuru nokuparadzwa. Uye chiporofita chinofanotaura kudzorerwa kwesimba rayo. “Ndakaona mumwe wemisoro yacho wakanga wakaita sowakuvadzwa kusvikira pakufa; uye ronda rayo rinouraya rakaporeswa; nyika yose ikashamiswa nokutevera chikara.” Ndima 3. Kurohwa kweronda rinouraya kunonongedzera kukuwa kwehupapa muna 1798.

> Pashure peizvi, anodaro muporofita, “vanga rake rinouraya rakaporeswa; uye nyika yose ikashamiswa ikatevera chikara.” Pauro anotaura pachena kuti “munhu wechivi” acharamba aripo kusvikira pakuuya kwechipiri. 2 VaTesaronika 2:3-8. Kusvikira kumagumo enguva chaiwo achapfuuridzira mberi basa rokutsausa. Uye munyori weZvakazarurwa anozivisawo, achirevawo hupapa, kuti: “Vose vagere panyika vachamunamata, avo vane mazita asina kunyorwa mubhuku roupenyu.” Zvakazarurwa 13:8. MuNyika Yekare nomuNyika Itsva zvose, hupapa huchagamuchira rukudzo mukukudzwa kunopiwa kusangano reSvondo, iro rinotsigirwa bedzi nesimba rechechi yeRoma.” The Great Controversy, 578.

Mutsara wokupedzisira unopa humbowo hwakawedzera hwekuti Hanzvadzi White vainzwisisa chirevo chokuti, “nyika yekare” sechinomirira Europe, uye “nyika itsva” sechinomirira maAmerica. Zvino sezvazviri, United States ndiyo inopa rukudzo kusimba repapa uye inomanikidza nyika yose yasara kuti iite zvimwe chetezvo. Izvi zvinoratidza United States sechiri pasi pokutungamirirwa nezvirevo zvesimba repapa. Kuzivisa kwaIsaya uye kusimbisa kwake pamusoro pokunzwisisa “musoro” kuti munhu asimbiswe kunowana chinangwa chako choumwari pakuti chiratidzo chinoti “musoro,” chinova kiyi yokunzwisisa mutsetse wokunze wechiporofita, uyewo mutsetse womukati wechiporofita.

> Nokuti musoro weSiria iDhamasiko, uye musoro weDhamasiko ndiRezini; uye mukati memakore makumi matanhatu namashanu, Efraimi uchaputswa, kuti urege kuva rudzi. Uye musoro waEfraimi iSamaria, uye musoro weSamaria mwanakomana waRemaria. Kana musingatendi, zvirokwazvo hamungasimbiswi. Isaya 7:8, 9.

Mumazuva okupedzisira, apo uchapupu hwomuporofita wose hunenge huri kushanda, “makororo avanhu vako” vanosimbisa chiratidzo. Pasi pesimba roMweya woUprofita, uye zvichienderana nechokwadi chenheyo cheAdventism, sezvinomiririrwa pamachati matsvene maviri aHabakuki, “makororo” chiratidzo cheRoma. Apo Roma yechihedheni yakazvipinza munhoroondo kekutanga muna 200 BC, yakava mufananidzo weRoma yemazuva okupedzisira. Chokwadi ichi chouprofita ndicho chinosimbisa chiratidzo chouprofita chemumazuva okupedzisira, uye kana ukaramba kuona kuti “musoro” weRoma yemazuva ano isimba roupapa, zvirokwazvo hauzosimbiswi.

> “ඉලෝකය කුණාටුද යුද්ධද භේදභාවදින් පිරී ඇත. එහෙත් එකම මූලිකත්වයක් යටතේ—එනම් පේපල් බලය යටතේ—ජනයා උන්වහන්සේගේ සාක්ෂිකරුවන්ගේ පුද්ගලත්වය තුළ දෙවියන්ට විරුද්ධ වීම සඳහා එක්සත් වන්නෝය.” Testimonies, volume 7, 182.

Kana mune nzeve dzokunzwa, ipapo munganzwisisa kuti kukundikana kukuru kwavaJudha vomunguva yaKristu kwakanga kuri uku: vakazivisa “mumvuri” sechinhu chaicho. VaJudha, pamberi nepashure pemuchinjikwa, vakavimba nemifananidzo yehurongwa hwavo hwokunamata, vakati kuramba Chinomirirwa chayo. Vakapikisa vachiti “mumvuri” ndiwo “chinhu chaicho”, uye nokuita saizvozvo vakasiya, muchinyorwa chakafemerwa, rudzi rwavanhu rwamazuva okupedzisira ruchazivawo mumvuri sechinhu chaicho.

Apo United States ikaumba mufananidzo wechikara, inenge ichiumba mumvuri wechikara. Inenge ichiumba mumvuri wechinhu chacho chaicho, nokuti mufananidzo chiratidzo chomumiririri. Kuzivisa United States, painoumba mufananidzo wechikara, sechiratidzo cheRoma yazvino uno, ndiko kuienzanisa nokuramba nokurovererwa pamuchinjikwa kwakaitwa neIsraeri yekare kweMukuru weZvairatidzwa Naye.

Avo vanodzidzisa maonero akakanganisika okuti United States ndivo “vapambi vavanhu vako” vanotaura zvikuru pamusoro pokushandisa kwavo mufananidzo nechizadziso chawo, uye vanowanzozivisa United States semufananidzo wechikara, vozofunga neimwe nzira kuti nokungozivisa United States semufananidzo wechikara zvinoratidza kuti United States ndivo “vapambi.” Dai vaibvumira zvirokwazvo kuti vatongwe nemisimboti yokutanga ye “mufananidzo nechizadziso chawo,” vaizokurumidza kuona kuti basa rouporofita reUnited States, iro rakaramba richimiririrwa kakawanda muShoko raMwari, rinoratidza United States sesimba riri pasi pokuzviisa pasi pechiremera chapapa. Vaizoona kuti, pasina chikara sechinhu chinoreverwa pakuyananisa, hazvina musoro kuzivisa mufananidzo wechikara icho chisina kuvapo. Chinhu chega chinogona kutsanangura mufananidzo wechikara, chikara chacho pachacho; nokuti simba rapapa ndiro rinomisa mufananidzo muchiratidzo chegirazi.

Mutsara unofambirana wechiporofita pamusoro peUnited States kuumba mufananidzo wechikara ndipo apo runyanga rwechiPurotesitendi chechokwadi runoumba mufananidzo waKristu. Kuumbwa ikoko kunonyatsoratidzwa muna Danieri chitsauko chegumi, apo Danieri anoona “marah,” chiratidzo, chinova chiratidzo che“girazi rinotarisa.” Danieri anomiririra avo vanotarira Kristu, uye nokuita saizvozvo vanoratidza hunhu hwaKristu. Dai chiratidzo chaKristu chisina kuiswa pamberi paDanieri, angadai asina kukwanisa kuratidza hunhu hwaKristu. Kuti vane zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina, vanomiririrwa naDanieri muchitsauko chegumi pakugadzira mukati mufananidzo waKristu, vakwanise kuita izvozvo, vanofanira kutarira hunhu Hwake. Nokutarisisa vanoshandurwa.

> Asi tose, nechiso chakazaruka, tichitarisa sokunge mugirazi kubwinya kwaShe, tinoshandurwa kuti tive mufananidzo iwoyo mumwe chete, kubva pakubwinya tichienda pakubwinya, sezvinoitwa noMweya waShe. 2 VaKorinte 3:18.

Tsananguro yechiHebheru yechiratidzo che“marah” chakaonekwa naDanieri muchitsauko chegumi inoti, “chiratidzo; uyezve (zvichireva kukonzera) girazi: —girazi rinotaridzwa mariri, chiratidzo.” Shoko rechiGiriki rakadudzirwa richinzi girazi mundima yapfuura rinoreva kuzvitarisa mugirazi, ndiko kuti, kuona zvakaratidzirwa (nomufananidzo): —kuona sezvinoitwa mugirazi.

Kana tichida chokwadi, uye nokudaro tiri vaiti veShoko, ipapo girazi ratinotarira mariri ndiwo murayiro wakakwana worusununguko; asi kana tisingadi chokwadi, tikazofamba nenzira yedu timene, sezvakaita vaya vaiva naDanieri pavakatiza, ipapo girazi rinongova chiratidzo chedu timene.

> “Umthetho kaNkulunkulu uyisibuko esiveza umfanekiso ophelele womuntu njengoba enjalo, futhi esimbeka phambi kwakhe umfanekiso oqondileyo.

Kusekhona nabanye abasolwa ngumthetho abayophenduka eziphambekweni zabo futhi, ngokukholwa ebuhleni bukaKristu, bayophelezelisa isimilo sobuKristu.” Faith and Works, 31.

Dhanieri haana kuzviona iye amene muchiratidzo chegirazi, akaona Kristu, uyo ari mufananidzo wakakwana woMutemo wakakwana worusununguko waJakobho.

> “Upenyu wa Kristu pano pasi iwoneserano wakukwana wa dango lauzimu. Mwa Iyo muli umoyo na chiyembekezo na ungweru. Muŵoneni, ndipo musandulikenge kuŵa mu chikozgo chenechicho, kufuma pa nkharo kuya ku nkharo.” Signs of the Times, May 10, 1910.

Mufananidzo wechikara unoratidza chikara, uye kuumbwa kwemufananidzo wechikara ndiko kuedzwa kukuru kwevanhu vaMwari, uko kunozotemwa nako magumo avo ekusingaperi. Kana machechi ePurotesitendi akatora kutonga kwehurumende yeUnited States, achange aumba mufananidzo wehurongwa hwechechi nehurumende hwakagara huchishandiswa nesimba repapa. Munguva imwe cheteyo mufananidzo waKristu uchaburitswa muvanhu Vake vemazuva okupedzisira. Asi avo vaiva naDanieri havana kuona chiratidzo, nokuti vakatiza chiratidzo chacho.

Ukubunjwa komfanekiso kaKristu kuveza ukubonakaliswa kwezigaba ezimbili zabakhulekeli. Esinye isigaba siyawenqaba umthetho wokubonakalisa. Lo mthetho wokubonakalisa umelelwa yisibuko, ngoba uKristu usebenzisa izinto ezingokoqobo zasemhlabeni ukumela amaqiniso omoya asezulwini.

> M’uphunzitso ya mafanizo ya Kristu mukuonekanso mfundo yomweyi monga mwa utumwi Wake kwa dziko lapansi. Kuti ife tidziŵane khalidwe Lake laumulungu ndi moyo Wake, Kristu anatenga chikhalidwe chathu ndipo anakhala pakati pathu. Umulungu unaululidwa mu umunthu; ulemerero wosaoneka mu mawonekedwe a umunthu ooneka. Anthu akanatha kuphunzira za chimene sichinkadziŵika kudzera mwa chimene chinkadziŵika; zinthu zakumwamba zinaululidwa kudzera mwa zapadziko lapansi; Mulungu anaonetsedwa m’chifanizo cha anthu. Chomwechonso zinalili m’uphunzitso ya Kristu: chosadziŵika chinkafotokozedwa ndi chodziŵika; zoonadi zaumulungu ndi zinthu zapadziko lapansi zimene anthu ankazizoloŵera kwambiri.

> “Magwaro anoti, ‘Izvi zvinhu zvose Jesu wakataura kuvanhu vazhinji nemifananidzo; … kuti zvizadziswe zvakataurwa nomuporofita, achiti, Ndichashamisa muromo Wangu nemifananidzo; ndichataura zvinhu zvakachengetwa zvakavanzika kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika.’ Mateo 13:34, 35. Zvinhu zvakasikwa ndizvo zvakava nzira yokusvitsa nayo zvomweya; zvinhu zvezvisikwa nezvakaitika muupenyu hwevakamunzwa zvakabatanidzwa nechokwadi cheshoko rakanyorwa. Nokudaro, achivatungamirira kubva pazvakasikwa kuenda kuumambo hwomweya, mifananidzo yaKristu inova zvibatanidzo mucheni yechokwadi inobatanidza munhu naMwari, nenyika nedenga.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 17.

Kanuni ya kiroho ya kuakisi hutimizwa kwa kutazama ndani ya kioo kinachomwakilisha Kristo, na kwa kuwa maono ya “marah” ni maono ya kisababishi, sura ya Kristo iliyo ndani ya kioo huzaa sura ya Kristo ndani ya ubinadamu.

Kuvavarira kuti United States ndiyo inomisa chiratidzo, kufanana nokuti mufananidzo waDanieri ndiwo unomisa Kristu. Kristu ndiye anomisa chiratidzo chehunhu hwake nebasa rake, uye anikristu ndiye anomisa chiratidzo chehunhu hwake nebasa rake. Chiratidzo ndicho chinoratidzwa negirazi, uye chiratidzo chinosimbiswa namakororo. Kusanzwisisa mufananidzo wechikara, nokuzivisa mufananidzo wacho sechikara chacho pachacho, kunobudisa mitsara inofambirana.

Munhu asina kutendeuka anozviona mugirazi, kana kuti, kana achiona murayiro waMwari, anorushora murayiro wacho achiedza kunzvenga zvaunomudaidza kwazviri. Munhu akatendeuka anoona Kristu nomurayiro Wake mugirazi. United States inoumba mufananidzo wesimba repapa nokutarisa simba repapa ichiriberekazve. Antikristu anoberekwazve neUnited States.
