Mabhuku a Danieri na Zvakazarurwa ibhuku rimwe chete, zvirokwazvo sezvakangoitawo Testamende Yekare neTestamende Itsva kuva bhuku rimwe chete. Nguva yenyasha isati yavharwa, Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu zvinobviswa chisimbiso.

> Zvino akati kwandiri, Usanamatira mashoko ouprofita hwebhuku iri chisimbiso; nokuti nguva yava pedyo. Asakarurama, ngaarambe achiita zvisakarurama; uye akasviba, ngaarambe achisvibiswa; uye akarurama, ngaarambe achiita zvakarurama; uye mutsvene, ngaarambe achiitwa mutsvene. Zvino tarira, ndinokurumidza kuuya; nomubayiro wangu uneni, kuti ndiripire munhu mumwe nomumwe sezvakaita basa rake. Ndini Arifa naOmega, wokutanga nowokupedzisira, mavambo nomugumo. Zvakazarurwa 22:10–13.

Mutemo weBhaibheri we“kutanga kutaurwa,” unosanganisira chokwadi chokuti magumo echinhu anoratidzwa nekutanga kwechinhu, unosimbisa kukosha kwezvitsauko zvitatu zvokutanga zvebhuku raDanieri, nokuti ndizvo chokwadi chokutanga chinotaurwa mubhuku iro rinova mabhuku aDanieri naZvakazarurwa. Jesu ndiye Arfa naOmega, saka kutanga kwebhuku iro rinova mabhuku aDanieri naZvakazarurwa kunofanira kumiririra chokwadi chinosunungurwa pakuguma. Naizvozvo, pane rimwe danho, chokwadi chinosunungurwa iEvhangeri isingaperi yavatumwa veZvakazarurwa gumi nezvina.

Ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo unaotambulishwa katika mstari wa kwanza wa sura ya kwanza ya Ufunuo ni ujumbe unaopaswa kuwasilishwa kwa makanisa wakati ambapo “wakati umekaribia,” na wakati huo “uliokaribia” katika sura ya kwanza ya Ufunuo lazima uwe ndio wakati uleule “uliokaribia,” kabla tu ya kufungwa kwa muda wa rehema katika sura ya ishirini na mbili ya Ufunuo.

> Chakuvumbulutso cha Yesu Kristu, chimene Mulungu anam’patsa, kuti aonetse atumiki ake zinthu zimene ziyenera kuchitika posachedwapa; ndipo anachitumiza nachisonyeza mwa mngelo wake kwa mtumiki wake Yohane: amene anachitira umboni mawu a Mulungu, ndi umboni wa Yesu Kristu, ndi za zinthu zonse zimene anaona. Wodala ndiye amene awerenga, ndi iwo amene amva mawu a uneneri uwu, ndi kusunga zinthu zolembedwamo; pakuti nthawi ili pafupi. Chivumbulutso 1:1-3.

Shoko riri iro riri shokupedzisira, iro rinosunungurwa chisimbiso nguva pfupi nyasha dzisati dzavharwa, apo “nguva yaswedera,” ndiro shoko remvura yokupedzisira romutumwa wechipiri neKuchema kwePakati pousiku. Ndicho chokwadi chakabatana ne“nhoroondo yakavanzika” yeKutinhira Kunomwe. Ndiko kuziviswa kwe“wechisere anobva pane vanomwe”, uye tambo yendarama inoruka izvi zviziviso zvose zvinokosha pamwe chete kuita nguo yakanaka yokururama kwaKristu ndiyo “inokosha” “kanomwe,” yeRevhitiko makumi maviri nenhanhatu. Dhanieri chitsauko chokutanga, uyezve zvakare, Dhanieri zvitsauko chokutanga kusvika chechitatu, ndiro shoko iro. “Chakavanzika” chechitsauko chechipiri, ndichowo shoko iro.

Chitsauko chokutanga chaDanieri chinomiririra shoko romutumwa wokutanga, uye sezvinongoita zviratidzo zvose zvouprofita zvemashoko avatatu vatumwa zvichimiririrwa mushoko romutumwa wokutanga rweZvakazarurwa chitsauko chegumi nechina; saizvozvowo zviratidzo zvose zvouprofita zvemashoko ose matatu zvinomiririrwawo muchitsauko chokutanga chaDanieri. Zvinhu izvozvo ndizvo nzira yokuedzwa ine nhanho nhatu, iyo, muna Danieri chitsauko chokutanga, inomiririra kuedzwa kwezvokudya, kunoteverwa nokuedzwa kunoonekwa nameso, uko kunotungamirira kukuedzwa kwokupedzisira kunoratidza chokwadi. Chitsauko chokutanga, kana chichionekwa maererano nezvitsauko zvechipiri nechechitatu, chinomiririra kuedzwa kwezvokudya, uye chitsauko chechipiri kuedzwa kunoonekwa nameso, uye chitsauko chechitatu kuedzwa kunoratidza chokwadi. Mashoko avatatu vatumwa veZvakazarurwa chitsauko chegumi nechina, naDanieri zvitsauko chokutanga kusvikira chechitatu, zvinopa zvapupu zvina kunzira iyoyo yokuedzwa ine nhanho nhatu.

Izigaba zesine nesihlanu zikaDaniyeli zimele umugqa ojule kakhulu womlando wesiprofetho. Umugqa okhiqizwa yilezo zigaba ezimbili uqukethe okungenani imigqa eyisithupha ehlukene yesiprofetho. Omunye waleyo migqa yesiprofetho uqala ngonyaka ka-723 BC, uqhubeke kuze kufike umthetho weSonto. Omunye wemigqa eyisithupha umele umlando ka-1798 kuze kufike emthethweni weSonto, futhi kulowo mugqa, imigqa emithathu yesiprofetho imelwe ngesikhathi esifanayo; umugqa wesilo somhlaba (i-United States), bese kuba umugqa wophondo lwamaProthestani kanye nomugqa wophondo lwamaRiphabhulikhi. Le migqa, ndawonye, isungula umugqa wesihlanu ekuqaleni komugqa wesiprofetho we-United States. Lowo mugqa uphawula ukwambulwa kwezigaba zesikhombisa, zesishiyagalombili nezesishiyagalolunye zikaDaniyeli ngo-1798. Ekupheleni komugqa wesiprofetho we-United States, kukhiqizwa umugqa wesithupha, ophawula ukwambulwa kwezigaba zeshumi, zeshumi nanye, nezeshumi nambili ngo-1989.

Kutanga kwomutsetse wechiporofita wechikara chenyika, sezvachinomiririrwa muna Danieri chitsauko 4, kunoratidzwa nechiratidzo che“nguva nomwe,” uye kuguma kwomutsetse wechiporofita wechikara chenyika kunoratidzwawo nechiratidzo che“nguva nomwe.” Kutanga nokuguma kwenguva yenhoroondo inomiririrwa nokuzarurwa kwezvitsauko zvinomwe, zvisere, nezvipfumbamwe, kunoratidzwawo nechiratidzo che“nguva nomwe.” Kutanga nokuguma kwenguva yenhoroondo inomiririrwa nokuzarurwa kwaDanieri zvitsauko gumi, gumi nerimwe, negumi nembiri, kunoratidzwawo ne“nguva nomwe.”

Kupera kwenguva yenhoroondo yakatanga apo Danieri zvitsauko zvinomwe, zvisere, nezvipfumbamwe zvakazarurwa pa“nguva yokupedzisira” muna 1798, kwaiva muna 1863. Kutanga kwenguva yenhoroondo yakatanga apo Danieri zvitsauko gumi, gumi nerimwe, negumi nembiri zvakazarurwa pa“nguva yokupedzisira” kwaiva muna 1989. Kubva muna 1863 kusvika muna 1989 zvinokwana makore zana nemakumi maviri nenhanhatu. Makore zana nemakumi maviri nenhanhatu igumi rimwe, kana kuti chegumi, chemakore chiuru chimwe nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu. Naizvozvo, nhamba zana nemakumi maviri nenhanhatu chiratidzo chemakore chiuru chimwe nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu, ayo anomirira “renje,” irowo riri chiratidzo chemakore zviuru zviviri nemazana mashanu nemakumi maviri e“nguva nomwe.”

Ubunavu bugaragaza yuko mu mateka y’inyamaswa y’isi, mu rugendo rw’umumarayika wa mbere ku ntangiriro, hanyuma no mu rugendo rw’umumarayika wa gatatu ku iherezo, byombi birangwa ku ntangiriro no ku mpera zabyo n’“ibihe birindwi.” Kandi igihe kiri hagati y’izo ngendo zombi kizihuza hamwe na cyo kigereranywa n’“ibihe birindwi.”

Bibilikaliyang metodolohiya ng “linya sa ibabaw ng linya” ay hindi mailalapat, kaya ang ganitong uri ng kapahayagan ay imposibleng makita at maunawaan; sapagkat kung wala ang metodolohiyang iyon, ang aklat na natatakan ay maaaring ibigay sa isang taong may pinag-aralan sa sining ng teolohiya, at saka siya tatanungin ng paliwanag kung ano ang kahulugan ng aklat na natatakan. Ang kapalaluan ng kaniyang sariling palagay ang aakay sa kaniya upang ituro na ang aklat na natatakan ay hindi mauunawaan, sapagkat ito ay natatakan. Pagkatapos ay maaari mong kunin ang aklat na natatakan at ibigay iyon sa isa sa kawan na pinaghaharian at pinagkakapon ng naliwanagang iyon, at ang kawan, na nasanay nang masiyahang kumain sa mga pinggang puno ng kathang-isip ng teologo, ay tatangging gumawa ng paglalapat ng aklat na natatakan, sapagkat lubos nilang nalalaman na yaon lamang mga kasapi ng teolohikong Sanedrin ang itinalagang magpasiya kung ano ang katotohanan.
