Ndinopikisa kuti n’chakufunika kumvetsa kugwirizana kwa chizindikiro cha mibadwo inayi ndi uthenga wa mvula yotsiriza kuti tikhale ndi chiyembekezo chabwino koposa chozindikira kufunika kwa mavesi anayi oyambirira a Yoweli chaputala chimodzi. Yoweli amaimba nyimbo ya munda wa mpesa, koma ndime yake yoyamba ndiyo kugwirizanitsidwa kwa chipangano kwauneneri ndi mibadwo inayi.

> Waaqi akati kuna Abramu, Ziva zvechokwadi kuti mbeu yako ichava mutorwa munyika isiri yavo, uye vachavashandira; uye vachavatambudza makore ana zana mana. Uyewo rudzi irworwo, rwavachashandira, ndicharutonga ini; uye pashure vachabuda vaine pfuma zhinji. Asi iwe uchaenda kumadzibaba ako norugare; uchavigwa wava wokwegura kwazvo. Asi pachizvarwa chechina vachadzokazve kuno; nokuti kuipa kwavaAmori hakusati kwazara. Genesisi 15:13–16.

Ndima iyi ndi ulosi umene unakwaniritsidwa mwa moyo wa Mose. Pamene buku la Yoweli liyamba nyimbo ya munda wa mphesa potchula mibadwo inayi ya chiwonongeko chokulirakulira, likugwirizanitsa buku la Yoweli ndi m’badwo wa ulosi wachinayi ndiponso wotsiriza. M’badwo umenewo ndi “m’badwo wosankhidwa” wa Petro, amene ayitanidwa kuchoka mu mdima kulowa mu “kuwala kwake kodabwitsa.” Iwo ayerekezedwa mosiyana ndi anzawo a m’badwo wawo, oimiridwa ngati m’badwo wa njoka zaululu. M’badwo wachinayi ndiponso wotsiriza umenewo ukuimiridwa ndi Yohane, amene ali chizindikiro cha zikwi zana limodzi ndi makumi anayi kudza zinayi, amene “ndi oitanidwa, ndi osankhidwa, ndi okhulupirika.”

Vakadanwa pa 9/11, vakasarudzwa muKuchema kwePakati peUsiku, uye vakatendeka panguva yedambudziko remutemo weSvondo, sezvakanga zvakaita vaRevhi vakatendeka mukupanduka kwemhuru yendarama kwaAroni nekwaJerobhoamu. Mweya inonatswa sesirivha muna Maraki 3, ndivo vaRevhi vanosarudzwa panguva yeshoko reKuchema kwePakati peUsiku, nokuti kuisirwa chisimbiso kunoitwa pamwe chete, uye kubudikidza, nekudururwa kweMweya Mutsvene.

Mu nyandiko iheruka twagaragaje imirongo ikomoka mu mateka ya Mose, uwo Mushiki wa White agaragaza ko ari alufa y’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya, kandi mu buryo bw’ubuhanuzi akaba ahuzwa na Kristo nk’omega y’ubuhanuzi bwa Bibiliya. Mose ni ibuye ry’urufatiro, naho Kristo akaba ibuye ry’inkomero. Bombi ni ibimenyetso byo gucungurwa mu cyaha, nk’uko bigaragazwa no gukurwa muri Egiputa binyuze kuri Mose. Nyamara kugaragazwa kose kw’imbaraga z’Imana kwabaye kubw’amaboko ya Mose, kwarushijwe kure cyane igihe Kristo yahamishaga isezerano na benshi mu cyumweru kimwe. Mose ni alufa, kandi Kristo ni omega; kandi omega ni umubare “22” naho alufa akaba umubare “1.”

Kana tichibata naMozisi, tinoona kuti ruponeso runopararira muchipupuriro chake chechiporofita rwakaiswa mukati memvura. Kununurwa kwake kubva mumvura yeNairi pakuzvarwa kwake, kwaifananidzira Noa ari mungarava. Rubhabhatidzo paGungwa Dzvuku runoenderana naNoa pamwe nevasere vaiva mungarava, uye izvozvowo zvinoenderana nerubhabhatidzo rwaJoshua paRwizi Jorodhani, rwakazodzokororwa naKristu panzvimbo iyoyo chaiyo. Chipupuriro chaMozisi chinotanga nokununurwa paRwizi Nairi uye chinopera pamahombekombe eJorodhani. Rubhabhatidzo rwaKristu rwakava kuzodzwa kwake kuti apupurire kwemakore matatu nehafu achitungamirira kurufu rwake, rwakanga rwakamiririrwa pakutanga parubhabhatidzo rwake. Pakumuka kwake kwakava nemadonhwe mashoma kusvikira pakudururwa kuzere paPendekosti.

Chivimbiso chaMwari chesungano kuvanhu chinotanga naNoa, uye chivimbiso chake chesungano kuvanhu vakasanangurwa kubudikidza naAbhurahama chakazadzikiswa naMozisi. Mozisi, ari arfa, akafananidzira Jesu, ari omega, uyo aizouya achisimbisa sungano ne“vazhinji,” kwete nevanhu vakasanangurwa chete. Somufananidzo waKristu, kuberekwa kwaMozisi kunowirirana nesungano yakapiwa Noa, muraraungu uri chiratidzo chayo kuvanhu vose. Mozisiwo anowiriranawo nesungano yakapiwa kuvanhu vakasanangurwa, kudzingiswa kuri chiratidzo chayo kuvanhu vakasanangurwa. Basa raMozisi resungano rakanga riri ne“vazhinji,” kwete kungova nevanhu vakasanangurwa chete. Dai zvisina kudaro, vangadai vasina kugara vachinetswa nguva dzose neboka revanhu vakavhengana.

Pakati pa “madzi a chipulumutso” osiyanasiyana amene akuimiridwa m’moyo wonse wa Mose, ubatizo wa ku Bethabara pa mtsinje wa Yorodano umalumikiza chiyambi cha mbiri ya pangano ya Israyeli wakale m’Dziko Lolonjezedwa ndi mapeto a mbiri yake, m’sabata imene Khristu anatsimikizira pangano ndi ambiri. Ubatizo wa Khristu ukugwirizana ndi ubatizo wa Israyeli wakale, ndipo mbiri zonsezi zikunena za kuuka kwake pamene anapumira madontho ochepa a mvula, asanagwe mvula yambiri pa Pentekoste masiku makumi asanu pambuyo pake. Mzere wonse wa Alefa ndi Omega kuchokera kwa Mose kufika kwa Khristu ukuonetsedwa mkati mwa madzi a chipulumutso.

> “Pakudzidzisa vadzidzi ava, Jesu akaratidza kukosha kweTestamende Yekare seuchapupu hwebasa Rake. Vakristu vazhinji vanozviti vatendi mazuva ano vanorasa Testamende Yekare, vachiti haichina zvainobatsira zvachose. Asi uku handiko kudzidzisa kwaKristu. Akaikoshesa zvikuru zvokuti pane imwe nguva akati, ‘Kana vasingatereri Mozisi navaporofita, havangatendirwi kunyange mumwe akamuka kuvakafa.’ Ruka 16:31.”

> “Ndi liṅwalo ḽa Kristo ḽine ḽa amba nga kha vho-khotsi na vhaporofita, u bva maḓuvhani a Adamu u swika kha zwiwo zwa u fhedzisela zwa tshifhinga. Mutshidzi u dzumbululwa kha Testamente ya Kale nga u vhonala zwavhuḓi u fana na kha Testamente Ntswa. Ndi tshedza tshi bvaho kha tshifhinga tsha vhuporofita tsha kale tshine tsha bvisela khagala vhutshilo ha Kristo na pfunzo dza Testamente Ntswa nga u vhonala zwavhuḓi na nga lunako.

Mu zvinyorwa zvinobata bhuku raJoere, tanga “tichienzanisa zviporofita zveTestamende Yekare nenhoroondo yeItsva,” uye zvakare nenhoroondo yeIsraeri yemweya yemazuva ano. Kungava kuri kweTestamende Yekare kana Itsva, kana nhoroondo yengirozi nhatu yakatanga muna 1798, mitsara yose iyoyo inomiririrwa se“inzwi raKristu.” Uchapupu hwakanyorwa hweBhaibheri neMweya weChiporofita ndizvo inzwi raKristu, uye inzwi raKristu, inzwi raIye ari Shoko raMwari.

“Izwi” leLizwi likaNkulunkulu liwumyalezo kaNkulunkulu njengoba umelelwe eLizwini laKhe elilotshiwe. Umyalezo waKhe ezinsukwini zokugcina uwumyalezo wemvula yasemuva, ohlanganisa imvula yokuqala, bese kulandela imvula yokuqala neyemvula yasemuva, ngokukaJoweli.

Johane Mfunuli amewakilisha wale mia na arobaini na nne elfu wanaorudi katika njia za kale, kwa maana anasikia “sauti” nyuma yake. “Sauti” iliyo nyuma ni sauti ya Kristo “tangu siku za Adamu” na kuendelea.

> Ndzi hundzulukile ndzi ya vona rito leri a ri vulavula na mina. Kutani loko ndzi hundzulukile, ndzi vonile swikhomela-makhandlela swa nkombo swa nsuku. Nhlavutelo 1:12.

Ndime iyi imirira ikiruhuko mu gice cya mbere, kuko kugeza ku murongo ubanza uw’ubu Yohana yari ku kirwa cyitwa Patimosi, ariko ku murongo wa cumi na kabiri arahindukira, kandi uhereye aho Yohana aba ari mu Buturo Bwera bwo mu Ijuru. Igihe ahindukira, aba abikora kuko ku murongo wa cumi yari yumvise ijwi rimuturuka inyuma.

> Ndzi ri emoyeni hi siku ra Hosi, kutani ndzi twa endzhaku ka mina rito lerikulu, onge ra mhalamhala, ri ku: Ndzi Alfa na Omega, wo sungula ni wa makumu; kutani leswi u swi vonaka, swi tsale ebukwini, u yi rhumela eka tikereke ta nkombo leti nga eAsia; eka Efesa, na le Smirna, na le Pergamo, na le Tiyatira, na le Sarda, na le Filadelfiya, na le Lawodikiya. Nhlavutelo 1:10, 11.

Johani anomirira avo vanonzwa inzwi raKristu shure kwavo. Anonzwa shoko rehwamanda raJeremia rokuti vadzokere panzira dzekare, nzira dzakarambwa kufambwa navakaipa, uye yambiro yehwamanda yavanoramba kuteerera. Johani akateerera, uye inzwi raiva shure kwake rakazvizivisa saArfa naOmega—Uyo anoratidza nzira itsva pamwe chete nenzira yekare.

> Au kati ka switomi swa supa-7 ku ni la fanaka ni la fana ni Nwan’a munhu, a ambarile nguvu leyi yaka fika eminkondzweni, naswona a bohile xifuva hi bandi ra nsuku. Nhloko ya yena ni misisi ya yena a swi basile ku fana ni voya bya nyimpfu, swi basa ku fana ni gamboko; naswona mahlo ya yena a ma fana ni ndzilo wa malangavi; kutani minkondzo ya yena a yi fana ni koporo leyinene, onge yi hisiwa esidziveni; rito ra yena ri fana ni mpfumawulo wa mati yo tala. A a khomile tinyeleti ta 7 evokweni ra yena ra xinene; naswona enon’wini wa yena a ku huma banga ro kariha ra matlhelo mambirhi; xikandza xa yena a xi fana ni dyambu loko ri vangama hi matimba ya rona. Nhlavutelo 1:13–16.

M’vesi yegumi nembiri Johane anotendeuka, akaona chiratidzo chaKristu icho Hanzvadzi White inowiriranisa nechiratidzo chaKristu chakanga chaonekwa naDhanieri, chinova ndicho chiratidzo chakanga chaonekwa naIsaya, Jeremia, Ezekieri, naPauro.

> “Ndzi langutele nkarhi lowu hi ku navela lokukulu swinene, lowu swiendlo swa siku ra Pentekosta swi nga ta tlhela swi humelela hi matimba lama tlulaka ngopfu lawa ma kombisiweke enkarhini wolowo. Yohane u ri, ‘Ndzi vone ntsumi yin’wana yi xika yi huma etilweni, yi ri ni matimba lamakulu; kutani misava yi voningisiwa hi ku vangama ka yona.’ Kutani, hilaha a swi ri hakona enkarhini wa Pentekosta, vanhu va ta twa ntiyiso wu vulavuriwa eka vona, un’wana ni un’wana hi ririmi rakwe.”

> “Mwari anogona kufemera hupenyu hutsva mumweya mumwe nomumwe unoda zvechokwadi kumushumira [Adam and Ezekiel’s valley of bones], uye anogona kubata miromo nebara rinopisa rinobva paatari [Isaiah], nokuiita kuti ive norurimi runotaura zvinorumbidza Iye zvakanaka. Zviuru zvamazwi zvichazadzwa nesimba rokuzivisa chokwadi chinoshamisa cheShoko raMwari. Rurimi runokakama ruchasunungurwa [Isaiah’s other tongue], uye vanotya vachaitwa vakasimba kuti vapupurire chokwadi noushingi. Dai Ishe vabatsira vanhu Vake kuchenesa temberi yomweya kubva kutsvina yose [Malachi’s Levites], uye kuchengetedza kubatana kwapedyo kwakadaro naVo, kuti vagova vagoverani vemvura yokupedzisira panguva iyo ichadururwa.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1886.

Chiratidzo chatiri kufunga nezvacho chinosanganisira rondedzero yezwi raKristu. Johani paanotendeuka achinzwa izwi raKristu, rinenge ruzha rwe“mvura zhinji.” Kana izwi raKristu richitaura nezvesungano Yake nevanhu kana nevanhu vakasanangurwa, rinobatanidzwa nemvura zhinji. Mharidzo yaDhanieri zvinomwe kusvikira zvapfumbamwe yakazarurwa muna 1798, uyezve muna 1989 mharidzo yaDhanieri gumi kusvikira gumi nembiri yakazarurwa. 1798 inobatanidzwa nezwi reRwizi Ulai, uye 1989 ndiro izwi reRwizi Hidhekeri.

> “Chiedza chakagamuchirwa naDanieri kubva kuna Mwari chakapiwa zvikurukuru mazuva ano okupedzisira. Zviratidzo zvaakaona pamahombekombe eUlai neHidhekeli, nzizi huru dzeShinari, zvino zvava kuzadzikiswa, uye zviitiko zvose zvakafanotaurwa zvichakurumidza kuitika.” Testimonies to Ministers, 112.

Urozi Yorodani ndirwo rwungano pakati y’amateka y’isezerano rya alufa n’amateka y’isezerano rya omega ya Isirayeli ya kera. Ijambo Yorodani risobanura “umanuka” kandi rigereranya Kristo “umanuka mukuru.”

> Nga muchive nepfungwa iyi yaivawo muna Kristu Jesu: Iye, zvaakanga ari muchimiro chaMwari, haana kufunga kuti kuenzana naMwari chinhu chokubata nechisimba; asi akazviita asina mukurumbira, akatora chimiro chomuranda, akaitwa akafanana navanhu; uye zvaakaonekwa ari muchimiro chomunhu, akazvininipisa, akava anoteerera kusvikira parufu, irwo rufu rwomuchinjikwa. VaFiripi 2:5–9.

Rwizi rwa Yorodani rufuzanya na Kristo, “uwamanutse cyane,” kandi Yorodani ni yo sano rihuza amateka ya alufa n’omega y’ubwoko bwatoranijwe bw’Imana, bwahawe uruzabibu ngo barurindire. Amazi yo gukizwa ya Mose ahagarariye ijwi rya Kristo, rishobora kumvikana iyo ubugingo bwahindukira gusa kugira ngo bwumve “ijwi riri inyuma yabo,” kandi ijwi baba bumvise icyo gihe ni—ijwi ry’amazi menshi. Uhereye ku mwuzure wa Nowa kugeza ku kurimbuka kwa Yerusalemu mu mwaka wa 70 nyuma ya Kristo, amazi yo gukizwa yashyizweho nk’ibimenyetso nyobozi ku bwoko bw’Imana bw’isezerano. Ibyo bimenyetso nyobozi bihagarariye amateka y’imbere y’ubwoko bw’Imana bw’isezerano rya nyuma, ya bihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine. Amazi agaburira uruzi rwa Yorodani akomoka ku kime n’urubura byirundaniriza mu misozi ya Herumoni, ari yo igize amasoko y’uruzi rwa Yorodani.

> Rwiyo rwokukwira kwaDhavhidhi. Tarirai, zvakanaka sei uye zvinofadza sei kuti hama dzigare pamwe chete mukuwirirana! Zvakaita samafuta anokosha pamusoro womusoro, akayerera achidzika pandebvu, idzo debvu dzaAroni; akayerera achidzika kusvikira kumipendero yezvokupfeka zvake; sedova reHerimoni, uye sedova rakaburukira pamakomo eZiyoni; nokuti ipapo Jehovha akaraira chikomborero, ndihwo upenyu husingaperi. Mapisarema 133:1–3.

Āpo maḓi fhedzi a dovha a bveledza na bako ḽa Phane, zwine zwa vha vudambwana ho dzikaho, ho dzudzanywaho ngomu ha bako ḽi re Paniumi ya Daniele 11:13–15, na Kesarea Filipi maḓuvhani a Petro.

Ipfi ḽa maḓi manzhi ḽi sumbedza uri nndwa khulwane vhukati ha Kristo na Sathane yo thoma nṱha ha dzithavha nṱha dza thavha dza Herimoni.

> Ndipo ndinotiwo kwauri, Ndiwe Petro, uye pamusoro pedombo iri ndichavaka kereke yangu; uye masuo egehena haangairwisi kuti ikundwe. Mateo 16:18.

Izina rokuti “Hermoni” rinoreva kuti “dzvene, rakatsaurirwa, rakapiwa kuna Mwari, kana kuti rakaparadzaniswa,” uye chiratidzo cheDenga, iro riri manyuko emvura yose uye mavambo emakakatanwa makuru sezvinomiririrwa ne“masuwo egehena,” iro raiva zita rakabatanidzwa naJesu paguta raPani paakanga ari kuKesaria Firipi. Munzvimbo iyoyo zita raSimoni Bharijona rakashandurwa kuva Petro. Simoni rinoreva kuti “uyo anonzwa,” uye Bharijona rinoreva kuti “mwanakomana wenjiva.” Simoni akanga ari chiratidzo chemweya wakanzwa shoko rerubhabhatidzo rwaJesu iro raimiririrwa noMweya Mutsvene muchimiro chenjiva. Somunhu akanzwa shoko rerubhabhatidzo rwaKristu, Petro akashandurwa, achimiririra vane 144,000. Petro akaiswa chisimbiso ari paPaniumi, zvinova ndima yegumi nenhatu kusvika yegumi neshanu yaDanieri gumi nerimwe.

Kubva kumvura dzeHermoni, rwizi rweJorodhani, chiratidzo chaKristu—muburuki mukuru—runopedzisa rwendo rwaro paGungwa Rakafa. Kubva Kudenga, uko kunobva dova roupenyu, Kristu akaburuka kusvikira kurufu rwomuchinjikwa, runomiririrwa neGungwa Rakafa. Mahombekombe eGungwa Rakafa ndiwo ari pakadzika zvikuru penyika pose pane nzvimbo yakaonekwa pamusoro pevhu. Rwizi rweJorodhani runoburuka, ruchibva rwaburuka kusvika pamwero wemvura wakadzika zvikuru panyika, sezvakaita Kristu paakaburuka kusvikira kurufu rwake pamuchinjikwa. Kubva kumvura youpenyu kusvika kumvura yorufu, Rwizi rweJorodhani runomiririra kuburuka kwaKristu kubva kudenga kusvika pamuchinjikwa.

Madingindira anokosha euporofita hweBhaibheri anobatanidzwa nemvura, uye euporofita hweBhaibheri ndiro inzwi raKristu, iro riri inzwi remvura zhinji. Hure reBhabhironi rinogara pamusoro pemvura zhinji, uye mvura dzeYufuratesi dzinoomeswa kuti dzigadzirire nzira yamadzimambo anobva kumabvazuva, uye vatengesi namadzimambo vanomira vari kure vachichema nokuti zvikepe zveTarishishi zvaparadzwa pakati pegungwa, uye sungano yorufu yakagamuchirwa nezvidhakwa zveEfuremu, pavakazvivanza pasi penhema, inobviswa nesimba nemafashamo anokurira omutemo weSvondo wapapa.

Pavanorehwa naSista White paanoreva “nzizi huru dzeShinari,” ari kureva nzizi dzeTigirisi neYufuratesi. Mvura idzodzo dzinogona kurondedzerwa dzichidzokera kuBindu reEdheni, uko dziri rwizi rwechitatu nerwechina runobuda muEdheni.

హిద్దెకెలు టైగ్రిస్‌నే; అలాగే, యూఫ్రటీసు యూఫ్రటీసే అని చెప్పాల్సిందే, అయితే ఆధునిక చరిత్రకారులు మరియు ధర్మశాస్త్రవేత్తలు దీనిపై ఏకీభవించరు. ఉలాయి ఒక గొప్ప నది కాదని, షినారు దేశంలో కాదు గాని పర్షియాలో మనుషులు నిర్మించిన ఒక కాలువ మాత్రమేనని వారు వాదిస్తారు. అదే మానవ అధికారులు, షినారుతో సంబంధమున్న ప్రాధాన్యమైన నదులు రెండే—టైగ్రిస్ మరియు యూఫ్రటీసు—అని నిర్ధారిస్తారు; అయితే ప్రవక్తురాలు, ఉలాయి మరియు హిద్దెకెలు “షినారు యొక్క గొప్ప నదులు” అని పేర్కొంటుంది.

Amazwi omprofethikazi mayelana nombiko wamanzi aphikisa izingcweti zesimanje, njengoba nezingcweti zasendulo zaphikisa—ezaphikisa umbiko kaNowa wamanzi. Saziswa ukuthi imibono emibili emelwe yimifula emibili isenkambweni yokugcwaliseka, ngakho-ke konke okumelwe ngaphakathi kwaleyo mibono emibili eyanikezwa “yimifula emibili emikhulu yaseShinari,” kuzofezeka maduze. Umbiko ohlobene naleyo mifula uyizwi likaKristu, ngokuba izwi lakhe linjengamanzi amaningi. ITigrisi neYufrathe zimele ingqikithi enkulu yesiprofetho, futhi ubufakazi bayo buhlobene nesivumelwano uMose we-alfa asimisa, okuyiso leso sivumelwano uKristu we-omega asiqinisa.

Muuporofita, Tigris inomirira Asiria, uye Yufuratesi iBhabhironi. Mukudyidzana uku, ndiwo masimba maviri, akafananidzirwa seshumba naJeremia, aizotapa kutanga ushe hwokumusoro uye pashure pacho ushe hwokumaodzanyemba achiwuisa muutapwa.

> Israeli i hwai hwakapararira; zvikara zveshumba zvakamudzinga: kutanga mambo weAsiriya akamudya; uye pakupedzisira Nebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi akamutyora mapfupa. Jeremia 50:17.

Asiria na Babeli vyose vyari abansi bo mu buraruko ku bijanye n’ubwami ubwo ari bwo bwose bwa Isirayeli, kandi rero ni ibigereranyo vy’umwami w’ibinyoma wo mu buraruko—ububasha bwa papa.

Asiria yagereranya Roma ya gipagani, kandi Babeli igereranya Roma ya papa. Ayo mabubasha yose uko ari ane yakandagiye ahera h’Imana n’ingabo zayo.

Kuguma kwamakore makumi mana kwakaratidzwa pamusoro pezvapupu zvitatu zvaMozisi sekunotungamirira kuKadheshi, 1863, nomurayiro weSvondo. Muchato waIsaka muchato wesungano unofananidzira muchato waKristu nevane zana namakumi mana nezvina zvuru panguva yomurayiro weSvondo, unova 1863, unova Kadheshi, unova kuguma kwenhoroondo yesungano yemakore makumi mana. Rebheka akanga ari mwanasikana womusiriya uye hanzvadzi yaRabani muSiriya, (uyo muchizvarwa chinotevera chenhoroondo yesungano, akaputsa sungano nomwanakomana waIsaka, Jakobho.)

Bethuel zvinoreva “imba yokuparadzwa kana yomuparadzi,” saka Rebheka akanga ari mwanasikana we“imba yomuparadzi.” Siria zvinoreva nzvimbo dzakakwirira nebani repamusoro, uye Padanaram zvinoreva Mesopotamia, kana kuti nyika iri pakati.

Ujumbe wa Shiloah katika Isaya nane ni ujumbe wa mvua ya masika ya mwisho. Birika la Shiloah linatambulishwa katika Agano Jipya kuwa ni birika la Siloamu. Kwa Kiebrania au Kiyunani linamaanisha “aliyetumwa.” Ilimpasa Kristo aondoke ili apate “kumtuma” Roho Mtakatifu. Isaya na Ahazi wako penye birika la Shiloah, na jaribio linategemea iwapo kuwa na imani katika birika la Shiloah kama linavyowakilishwa na Isaya na mwanawe, au imani katika Resini na mwana wa Remalia? Ahazi anachagua kati ya maji mawili, maji ya Shiloah au maji ya mfalme wa Ashuru. Ahazi alifurahia muungano na ujumbe uliowakilishwa na Resini na mwana wa Remalia, na kwa hiyo akapokea gharika ya uharibifu, badala ya yale maji yapitayo kwa upole wakati wa hukumu yake. Hukumu yake inawakilisha sheria ya Jumapili wakati mfalme wa kaskazini anapoifurika dunia yote kama gharika.

Ndinofanira kubata mabasa ouyo akandituma, masikati achiripo; usiku hunouya, pasina munhu angagona kubata.

Naizvozvo akaenda, akandoge, akadzoka ava kuona.

Kristu akatandira pasi, akasanganisa mate Ake kuti aumbe ivhu. Akashandisa shoko remubatanidzwa hwoUmwari nehunhu hwevanhu kuzodza meso omurume akanga ari bofu.

Zvakatanga nokuswedera kwaKristu, zvikateverwa nebasa raKristu. Basa rokupedzisira raKristu munzvimbo tsvene yoKudenga maererano nomunhu ndere kushandura munhu kubva mumupata wamapfupa akaoma akafa, kana kubva pakuva akafa mumigwagwa, kana kubva pakuva bofu chose. Basa rake rokupedzisira nderekusikazve vanhu vake mumufananidzo wake, uye ndiro chairo basa raakaita paakasika Adhamu kubva kuguruva revhu, ndokubva afemera maari kufema kwoupenyu. Basa rokupedzisira ndiro basa rokutanga, nokuti pakutanga akagadzira ivhu, ndokubva azodza ivhu iroro noupenyu hwoMweya wake. Kuna Adhamu Mweya wakanga uri kufema kwake; kumunhu bofu wakanga uri mvura. Kumupata wamapfupa akafa waEzekieri, wakanga uri shoko rokuunganidza rakasika muviri. Zvino shoko remhepo ina rakafemerwa pamusoro pomuviri, uye ipapo ukasimuka ukava hondo huru ine simba.

Mutange bofu akali bofu, Yesu akamuona, ndipo anamuyandikira. Anayandikira bofu uyo mkati mwa nkhani ya funso limene linadzutsidwa ndi ophunzira Ake, motero kumulola kukhazikitsa moyenera maziko aulosi a fanizolo. “Ntchito za Mulungu” ndi chizindikiro chaulosi pa mizere yambiri yosiyanasiyana ya mboni m’Baibulo. Chiwonetsero chilichonse cha “ntchito za Mulungu” m’Malemba chimakwaniritsidwa m’nthawi ya mvula ya nthawi yotsiriza. Yesu akuika maziko a nkhaniyi mogwirizana ndi uthenga wotsiriza, monga ukuimiridwa ndi Eliya m’mavesi otsiriza a Malaki.

Vabereki nemwana bofu havasi kushorwa sevachatadzi, nokuti ino ndiyo nguva yemabasa anoshamisa aMwari; uye panguva iyoyo mwoyo yevabereki nemwoyo yevana zvichashandurwa kuti vaone nyaya iri pamberi pavo. Nyaya yacho ndeiyi—kuti murume weLaodhikia akanga ari bofu here ash andurwa kuva murume weFiradherufia akazodzwa. Ndiyo nyaya inomira pamberi pevabereki nemwana munguva yemvura yokupedzisira, nokuti iyo ndiyo nguva yokutonga zvakare. Uye nguva yokutonga inoitwa mukati mezvizvarwa zvechitatu nechina maererano nouprofita hwesungano yaAbrahama. Murume bofu ndiye chizvarwa chokupedzisira nechina, uye vabereki vake ndivo vechitatu. Munguva iyoyo shoko raEria rinoisa mhuri mumamiriro ezvinhu avanomanikidzwa kugamuchira kana kuramba shoko redziva reSiroami. Mambo Ahazi, benzi uye akaipa, akaramba shoko redziva iroro, asi murume bofu akarigamuchira. Shoko raEria raMaraki rakaiswa muchimiro chekutukwa zuva guru nerinotyisa raJehovha risati rasvika.

Wakati Yesu alipoweka mpangilio wa mazingira tunayoyatazama, katika muhtasari Wake wa kusudi la muujiza alijumuisha kwamba ilimpasa kufanya kazi wakati huo, kwa maana utakuja wakati ambapo hakuna mtu awezaye kufanya kazi. Kazi aliyoirejelea hufanyika wakati wa mchana, na mwisho wa kazi huwakilishwa kama usiku. Rejeo Lake ni kwa kufungwa kwa muda wa rehema.

Akamaliza ntchito Yake ya chiweruzo, amachotsa zovala Zake za unsembe ndi kuvala zovala Zake za kubwezera. Akamaliza ntchito imeneyo yolekanitsa otaika ndi opulumutsidwa, ntchito ya chipulumutso imatha. Nthawi ya mayesero imatsekedwa, ndipo tsopano ndi usiku pamene palibe munthu angagwire ntchito. Uthenga wa Khristu sunali chabe uthenga wa ku Laodikaya kwa munthu wakhungu, koma unalinso uthenga wa Eliya wokhazikitsidwa m’mawu a kuyandikira kwa kutsekedwa kwa nthawi ya mayesero, chomwe ndi cholinga choyera cha Khristu chogwirira ntchito yopulumutsa miyoyo.

Pakutanga Kristu wakaswedera kumunhu akanga ari bofu, akazogadzira nokuzora mushonga wemaziso, uye akazomupa mirayiridzo yebasa raaitofanira kuzviitira iye pachake; uye chakangokoshawo ndechokuti paanongotanga kuita basa iroro, kuona kwake kunodzorerwa. Kana ava kuona, anenge ashandurwa kubva kumuRaodhikia bofu kuva muFiraderifia. Nguva yokushandurwa kwemachechi iwayo maviri yakazadzikiswa pakutanga kubva muna 1856 kusvikira muna 1863.

Iyo nguva inomiririra kupatsanurwa kwegorosi nemasora, uye kuiswa chisimbiso kwekupedzisira kwevane zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina, avo vanozosimudzirwa pashure pacho sechiratidzo. Pakarepo murume akanga ari bofu akava ndiye ari kutariswa nevoruzhinji—mushure mokunge achinja kubva pakuva muLaodicea kuenda pakuva muFiradherfia. Murume bofu ndiye vane zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina, uye mambo akaipa neupenzi Ahazi ndivo vanhu vesungano yekare vanorutsirwa kunze kwomuromo waIshe. Panguva imwe cheteyo munhoroondo, Jesu angave ari kushandisa mate Ake kuzodza vanhu vake vesungano itsva, kana kuti ari kurutsira vanhu vesungano yekare kunze kwomuromo Wake.
