Muk understanding ujumbe unaofunuliwa katika kitabu cha Ufunuo, ni jambo la lazima kutambua mizizi, maendeleo, na umuhimu wa Matengenezo ya Kiprotestanti. Mistari mitatu ya msingi ndani ya historia ya Matengenezo hayo inahusu Biblia, na mbinu sahihi inayopaswa kutumiwa katika kuijifunza Biblia, na pia kwamba wajumbe wateule katika historia hiyo ni alama za njia za historia hiyo. Kama ilivyo daima, Shetani alijaribu kuificha Biblia ya King James kwa njia ya bandia kadhaa, naye akatafuta kuificha mbinu sahihi ya kuielewa Biblia kwa njia ya bandia kadhaa; tena akatafuta kuwaficha wajumbe sahihi (alama za njia) walioinuliwa hatua kwa hatua katika historia hiyo.

> “Asi Satani hakuwa mvivu. Sasa alijaribu kile ambacho amekuwa akijaribu katika kila vuguvugu jingine la matengenezo—kuwadanganya na kuwaangamiza watu kwa kuwavalisha bandia badala ya kazi ya kweli. Kama vile walivyokuwapo makristo wa uongo katika karne ya kwanza ya kanisa la Kikristo, ndivyo pia walivyozuka manabii wa uongo katika karne ya kumi na sita.” The Great Controversy, 186.

Mu nhoroondo yevaMillerite kubva muna 1840 kusvika muna 1844, jasi rechiPurotesitendi, (rinova rimwe remanyanga maviri echikara chinobva panyika, icho chiri United States), Adventism yevaMillerite yakava runyanga rwechiPurotesitendi. Panguva imwe cheteyo, machechi akanga amboti ari echiPurotesitendi akava chiPurotesitendi chakatsauka, kana sezvaaivazivisa vaMillerite, “vanasikana veRoma.” MaPurotesitendi pavakaramba shoko remutumwa wokutanga muna 1843, vakawa, uye vaMillerite vakaramba vachitakura jasi rechiPurotesitendi. Nhoroondo yevaMillerite ndiyo yakanga iri mugumo wakakwirira webasa raMwari mukuunza “chechi Yake murenje” pakunzwisisa kwakazara kweShoko raMwari.

Kuvhurwa kwekutonga kunoongorora kwakaunza muedzo womurayiro waMwari, uye zvikurukuru Sabata. Kuzivisa shoko rengirozi yechitatu kwaida kereke yaichengeta murayiro waMwari, wakanga wavigwa pasi petsika nemagariro epapa munguva yeNguva dzeRima. Kristu akaunza maPurotesitendi kunhoroondo ya1840 kusvika 1844 uye akaratidza muedzo waEria, uyo William Miller akafananidzirwa naye; uye maPurotesitendi paakaramba shoko raMiller vakadzokera kuRoma. Muedzo weshoko rengirozi yokutanga sezvarakaparidzwa naMiller wakafananidzirwa naEria paGomo reKarimeri.

> Ipapo Eria akauya kuvanhu vose, akati, Muchasvika rinhiko muchikamhina pakati pemafungiro maviri? Kana Jehovha ari Mwari, mumutevere; asi kana Bhaari, muteverei. Vanhu vakasamupindura kana shoko rimwe chete. 1 Madzimambo 18:21.

Muna 1840, pavakatarisana neshoko raEriya, rakamirirwa naMiller nengirozi yokutanga, maPurotesitendi vakasarudza Bhaari!

Kuvandudzwa kweChechi yePurotesitendi kwaiva kusunungurwa kwezvokwadi dzeBhaibheri kwakatanga ne“nyamasase,” iyo yakavimbiswa kupiwa munguva yenhoroondo inomiririrwa nechechi yeTiatira. Kurwiswa kwakananga kwaBhaibheri kwakatanga mazana amakore akanga atotangira, uye kunoratidzwa zvakajeka mubhuku rinonzi *The Great Controversy*, zvikuru sei munhoroondo yeVaWaldensia. Muna 1930, Benjamin Wilkerson akaburitsa bhuku rinonzi *Our Authorized Bible Vindicated*. Bhuku iri rinonyora hondo yakarwiwa pamusoro pezvinyorwa zvitsvene zvepakutanga izvo zvakazozoshandiswa pakushandurirwa kweBhaibheri raMambo James, pamwe chete nezvinyorwa zvakasiyana-siyana zvenhema zvaSatani izvo zvakakurudzirwa uye zvichiri kukurudzirwa nevaKaturike, nePurotesitendi yakatsauka, pamwe nevaAdventisti veRaodhikia. Hondo iyi yakatanga kare zvikuru kusati kwasvika nguva yenhoroondo yeVaWaldensia, asi ivo ndivo chiratidzo chenzira uye mucherechedzo weavo vakapa upenyu hwavo vachipupurira kukosha kwezvinyorwa zvakarurama zvakazozodudzirwa muBhaibheri raMambo James ra1611.

Kubudiswa kweBhayibheli i-King James ngo-1611 kwadlula enqubweni ethile ecace kakhulu yokuhumusha. Inqubo yokuhumusha nokushicilela iBhayibheli yafezwa ngezinyathelo eziyisikhombisa zokukhiqiza. Yathatha futhi iminyaka eyisikhombisa ukuba iqedwe, kanti iminyaka eyisikhombisa yeBhayibheli iyizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amahlanu namashumi amabili. Lokho-ke, kambe, kuyinani elifanayo lezinsuku zesiprofetho uJesu aqinisa ngazo isivumelwano nabaningi ekugcwalisekeni kukaDaniyeli isahluko sesishiyagalolunye. Maphakathi nalelo sonto elingcwele uKristu wabethelwa esiphambanweni, futhi kambe noKristu obethelwe esiphambanweni uyisizinda seBhayibheli. Lezo zinyathelo eziyisikhombisa zokukhiqiza iZwi likaNkulunkulu elihlanzekileyo zazimi kanje.

> Maneno ya BWANA ni maneno safi; ni kama fedha iliyosafishwa katika tanuru ya udongo, iliyotakaswa mara saba. Wewe, Ee BWANA, utayahifadhi; utawalinda na kizazi hiki milele. Zaburi 12:6, 7.

मु सतानले परमेश्वरको वचनविरुद्ध, अनि त्यस प्रगतिशील इतिहासका विविध सन्देशवाहकहरूद्वारा प्रतिनिधित्व गरिएका मार्गचिन्हहरूविरुद्ध, साथै उहाँको वचनलाई ठीकरीतिले विभाजन गर्न प्रयोग गरिनुपर्ने सही कार्यविधिविरुद्ध गर्ने युद्धमा, सन् १६११ को किंग जेम्स बाइबल एउटा यस्तो मार्गचिन्ह हो, जसलाई भजनसंग्रह १२ मा विशेष रूपमा पहिचान गरिएको छ। भ्रष्ट क्याथोलिक पाण्डुलिपिहरूद्वारा उत्पादित विविध जाली बाइबलहरूमध्ये कुनै पनि भजनसंग्रह १२ का मापदण्डहरू पूरा गर्दैन। सात चरणसम्म चलेको शुद्धीकरण प्रक्रियाले, र दुई हजार पाँच सय बीस दिनको अवधिले, किंग जेम्स बाइबल नै परमेश्वरका “शुद्ध वचनहरू” हुन् भन्ने कुरा पहिचान गराउँछ। परमेश्वरले किंग जेम्स बाइबललाई आफ्ना शुद्ध वचनको रूपमा सदासर्वदा सुरक्षित राख्ने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुहुन्छ, र यसकारण उहाँले “ऐतिहासिकतावाद” भन्ने त्यस कार्यविधिलाई पनि कायम राख्ने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुहुन्छ, जसलाई विलियम मिलरसहित प्रोटेस्टेन्ट सुधारकहरूले प्रयोग गरेका थिए।

Muzana remakore rechigumi namana, John Wycliffe, uyo mubhuku rinonzi *The Great Controversy* anozivikanwa se“nyenyedzi yamangwanani yeReformation,” akashandiswa naMwari kushandura Bhaibheri mumutauro waigona kunzwisiswa kunyange nomunhuwo zvake. Ndiye mutumwa anoratidza chiratidzo chenzira chinomaka kutanga kweReformation yePurotesitendi.

Kutevera uchapupu hune chekuita naJohn Wycliffe mubhuku rinonzi *The Great Controversy*, Hanzvadzi White vanopa rondedzero yevavandudzi vakatendeka (zviratidzo zvenzira), iyo inozopedzisira yasvika kumuvandudzi John Knox. Vanoratidza mubvunzo wakakosha wakabvunzwa kuna John Knox naMary, Mambokadzi weScotland.

Kuna makanisa mawili tu ambayo Dada White anayataja kuwa ni watu wa Mungu wenye jina maalum. Hayo ni Israeli ya kale na Kanisa la Waadventista Wasabato.

> “Zvikonzero zvinoita kuti tidanwe vanhu vaMwari zvinofanira kudzokororwa zvakare uye zvakare. Dheuteronomio 4:1–13” Manuscript Releases, volume 8, 426.

Kanisa la mitume,’ kanisa lililokuwa jangwani wakati wa giza la upapa, halikuwahi kuitwa watu wa Mungu waliotajwa kwa jina; kwa maana neno hilo (lenye maana ya kuitwa kwa jina) linawakilisha kanisa linalopewa wajibu wa kuwa watunzaji wa sheria ya Mungu, na pamoja na Uadventista wao walipaswa pia kuwa watunzaji wa kweli za unabii za Mungu.

William Miller alimuwakilisha mjumbe mteule wa kufunua kweli za unabii za Mungu, na kweli hizo zilipoongoza watu hadi mlangoni pa wazi pa Patakatifu pa Patakatifu Sana mwaka 1844, ndipo Mungu akaifunua sheria ya Mungu. Wycliffe ni alama ya njia katika kufunuliwa kwa Biblia na kuzaa mwanzo wa Matengenezo ya Kiprotestanti, lakini pia ni alama ya njia ya kazi ya Mungu ya kuimarisha “kweli kuu za unabii.” John Wycliffe alikuwa nyota ya asubuhi inayotambulika katika historia ya utawala wa upapa wa miaka elfu moja mia mbili sitini. Kazi yake ilianza katika karne ya kumi na nne, kisha katika karne ya kumi na saba alama nyingine ya njia ya mstari huo wa unabii ilikuwa kutolewa kwa Biblia ya King James mwaka 1611. Katika mstari huo hatimaye tunafikia alama ya njia ya kanuni za Miller za kufasiri unabii. Miller ni alama ya njia katika mstari huo wa kweli, na vivyo hivyo kanuni zake. Kanuni zake zinashuhudia alama ya njia mwishoni mwa Uadventista inayowakilishwa na kuchapishwa kwa Prophetic Keys.

Kana tisina kunzwisisa kuti mitemo yaMiller yakanga iri chiratidzo chemugwagwa mumutsara wenhoroondo yechiporofita, ichimiririra basa rokuchengetedza magwaro eBhaibheri epakutanga uye akarurama, pamwe chete nebasa rokusunungura kunzwisisa kwechokwadi kweBhaibheri, izvo zvaida kuti vavandudzi vatungamirirwe kuti vanzwisise nokushandisa nzira tsvene yokudzidza inonzi “historicism,” tinoshaya ruzivo runodiwa kuti tizive chokwadi chechiporofita chine chokuita nebasa rokuratidza nokuchengetedza chiedza chengirozi yechitatu pakupera kweAdventism. Nokuda kwechikonzero ichi, zvakakosha kuita ongororo pfupi yomutsara iwoyo wenhoroondo.

Indlela yokufundza liBhayibheli emaProthestani lebaholelwa kutsi bayisebentise emizamweni yabo yekuhlukanisa kahle livi leliciniso ngulebitwa ngekutsi “historicism.” Leyo ndlela beyiyintfo letsite lengumgomo lomkhulu nalokubalulekile kuSathane kutsi ayihlasele, futsi wayihlaselela impela.

Kunyangarika kwenzira yokududzira Bhaibheri yakashandiswa neVagadziri veShanduko kubva pakutanga kusvika kuna William Miller, kusanganisira iye, kunonyatsoratidzwa sekutanga muzana remakore regumi neshanu nemudzidzi wechiJesuit ainzi Francisco Ribera (1537–1591), uyo anozivikanwa nokukurumbidzira dudziro yeramangwana yezviporofita.

VaPurotesitendi venguva iyoyo vakanyora mabhuku nemapepa vachipikisa “kutaura kusina maturo nekusina zvazvinobatsira” kwemudzidzi wechiJesuit. Asi muna 1909, bhiza reTrojan, iro Scofield Reference Bible, rakabudiswa, uye zvinyorwa zvakaiswa mutsoka dzemapeji eBhaibheri zvakanga zvakavakirwa padzidziso dzaRibera nedzimwe dzeimwe Jesuit ainzi Manuel Lacunza (1731–1801).

SaRibera akamutangira, bhuku iri rakanga riri kurwisa kwakananga kuzadzikiswa kwechiporofita chiri mubhuku raZvakazarurwa.

Satani aiziva kuti shoko raaifanira kufukidza nemhirizhonga nerunyonganiso ndiro shoko reyambiro rokupedzisira rinobva mubhuku raZvakazarurwa. Kupinza kutaura kusina kuchena nokusina maturo kwevaprista vaviri vechiJesuiti muzvinyorwa zvinonongedzera zviri muScofield Reference Bible kwakabvumira Satani kutungamirira maPurotesitendi akatsauka kuti agamuchire nzira dzechiJesuiti, nokudaro achivapofumadza pachokwadi.

Hwakanga husiri unyengeri hwakaomera Satani, nokuti maPurotesitendi akanga atodzokera kukereke yeRoma nokuramba kwavo shoko raMiller muna 1843.

Kwemakore mazhinji akapfuura, mabhuku nezvinyorwa zvakawanda zvakabudiswa zvinonyora kurwiswa kwakaitwa Bhaibheri naSatani, uko kwakatanga mumazana amakore okutanga mashoma mushure mokunge Kristu arovererwa pamuchinjikwa.

Sista White anaweka wazi kwamba Danieli na Ufunuo ni kitabu kimoja. Katika ngazi hiyo vinawakilisha Biblia, ambayo ni kitabu kimoja kilichoundwa na vitabu viwili, cha kale na kipya. Sista White pia anatoa maoni juu ya kanisa la Kiyahudi, ambalo huchukulia kitabu cha kale pekee kuwa ndicho kitabu kimoja, na pia anatoa maoni juu ya wale wanaopuuzia kitabu cha kale kwa sababu wanaelewa tu, au wako tayari kuelewa tu, kitabu kipya. Ushuhuda wake uliovuviwa ni kwamba ukikubali kipya pekee, basi unakikataa cha kale, na vivyo hivyo. Kwa mwanatheolojia kudai kwamba alikuwa mtaalamu wa Danieli, lakini si wa Ufunuo, ni kurudia dhana ya Kiyahudi ya kukubali Agano la Kale pekee, nasi tunajua mahali mtazamo huo finyu uliwapeleka Wayahudi. Kuchukua upande wowote wa suala hili; kukubali cha kale na si kipya, au kukubali kipya lakini si cha kale, ni kuukataa ushuhuda wote.

Naye alipokwisha kufanya mjeledi wa kamba ndogo-ndogo, akawafukuza wote kutoka hekaluni, pamoja na kondoo na ng’ombe; akazimwaga fedha za wale wabadilishaji, na kuzipindua meza zao; akawaambia wale waliokuwa wakiuza hua, Ondoeni vitu hivi hapa; msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa nyumba ya biashara. Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka ya kwamba imeandikwa, Wivu wa nyumba yako umenila. Basi Wayahudi wakamjibu, wakamwambia, Unatuonyesha ishara gani, kwa kuwa unatenda mambo haya? Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, Livunjeni hekalu hili, nami katika siku tatu nitalisimamisha. Basi Wayahudi wakasema, Hekalu hili lilijengwa kwa miaka arobaini na sita, nawe utalisimamisha katika siku tatu? Lakini yeye alinena habari za hekalu la mwili wake. Basi alipofufuka katika wafu, wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka ya kuwa alisema neno hili; wakaliamini andiko, na lile neno alilolisema Yesu. Yohana 2:13–22.

Danyeli kumi na mbili inafafanua ujumbe unaofunguliwa muhuri wakati wa mwisho, ambao ulikuwa mwaka 1798. Katika kifungu hicho, Danieli anamwakilisha William Miller, ishara kuu ya wenye hekima katika historia hiyo. Miller kwanza aliongozwa kwenye unabii wa miaka elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini wa Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita, na katika aya ya saba na ya nane anawawakilisha wenye hekima ambao lazima wapatanishe ukweli kwamba kutawanyika kwa miaka elfu mbili mia tano na ishirini kunatambulishwa kwa hakika kabisa kuwa ni kutawanya kwa watu Wake kunakofanywa na Mungu.

UDaniel umele abantu bakaThixo ekupheleni kobuAdventism, kwakunye noMiller ekuqaleni kobuAdventism. Ekupheleni kobuAdventism, ikhona kwakhona le ngxaki inye; kuba njengoko ubuAdventism babuyibeka ecaleni ingqiqo kaMiller “yamaxesha asixhenxe,” banyanzeleka ukuba bachonge kuphela iminyaka eliwaka elinamakhulu amabini anamashumi amathandathu njengeXesha Lobumnyama. Abahlakaniphileyo ekupheleni babenengxaki efanayo ekwakufuneka bayisombulule, njengoko kuboniswa nguDaniel noMiller. Kutheni kusetyenziswa isigama sikaLevitikus 26 ukubonisa amaxesha amathathu nesiqingatha endaweni yamaxesha asixhenxe?

Miller haana kumbozyansya cakumanina bulongo buno bwafunso, pele mu 1856 “lumuno lumbi lya buprofeta” lwa kulekelesya lwapegwa mu mivwili iili ya zipepa zisambomwe zitasyangwa ku mana, izyaabikile panshi kuti “inshita zili ciloba” zyali zyalozya ku myaka yotatwe ni hafu iya Roma ya bupagani, yakupondaponda Israyeli wa Leza wa ku mubili; kabili yakonkonywa imyaka yotatwe ni hafu iya Roma ya bupapa, yakupondaponda Israyeli wa ku mupashi.

Ubuphorofeti bw’imyaka igihumbi na magana atatu na mirongo itatu n’itanu bwatangiye igihe “igitambo gihoraho” cyakurwagaho mu wa 508, busozwa mu wa 1843.

Akaropafadzwa uyo anomirira, achisvika pamazuva ane chiuru chimwe namazana matatu namakumi matatu namashanu. Danieli 12:11, 12.

Utabiri wa miaka elfu moja mia tatu na thelathini na mitano uliisha mwaka 1843, na Danieli anasema kwamba wale “waliongoja” wakati ambapo unabii huo ungetimizwa wangekuwa na heri. Dada White anasema hivi.

> “Akherisiwe mehlo la abona tintfo letabonakala nga-1843 nanga-1844.”

> “Ujumbe umetolewa. Wala kusiwe na kuchelewa kuurudia ujumbe huo, kwa maana ishara za nyakati zinatimizwa; kazi ya kufunga lazima ifanyike. Kazi kubwa itafanyika kwa muda mfupi. Ujumbe utatolewa upesi kwa agizo la Mungu, nao utakua hata kuwa kilio kikuu. Ndipo Danieli atasimama katika sehemu yake, ili kutoa ushuhuda wake.” Manuscript Releases, juzuu ya 21, 437.

Naizvozvo, kutanga kwechiporofita chemakore ane chiuru chimwe namazana matatu namakumi matatu neshanu kunoratidza kushanduka kubva muchitendero chechihedheni kuenda kuchitendero cheupapa, nokudaro kuchiratidza kushanduka kubva kuPurotesitendi kuenda kuPurotesitendi yeMillerite.

Kuparadzirwa kwe“nyika inobwinya” yaJudha muna 677 BC kunomiririra kutsikwa-tsikwa kwe“hondo” muna Danieri 8:13, 14, uye kunonongedzera kukusimbiswa kwenyika inobwinya yazvino, iyo United States. Makore zviuru zviviri nemazana matatu endima idzodzo dzimwe chete akatanga muna 457 BC, uye anomiririra kutsikwa-tsikwa kwe“nzvimbo tsvene.”

> Ipapo ndakanzwa mumwe mutsvene achitaura; uye mumwe mutsvene akati kumutsvene uya waitaura, Chiratidzo ichi chinoreva chipiriso chezuva nezuva, nokudarika kunoparadza, chichapa kusvibiswa kwenguva yakareba sei, kuti nzvimbo tsvene nehondo zvitsikirirwe pasi? Akati kwandiri, Kusvikira pamazuva zviuru zviviri namazana matatu; ipapo nzvimbo tsvene ichacheneswa. Danieri 8:13, 14.

677 BC na 457 BC ni tarehe zilizounganishwa kwa uhusiano wa watu wa Mungu na patakatifu pa Mungu. Mungu aliwarudisha jeshi na patakatifu pamoja kwa wakati mmoja tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844. Miaka mia mbili na ishirini kati ya 677 BC na 457 BC inaashiria kipindi ambacho Mungu huweka alama ya njia inayowakilisha kuongezeka kwa nuru. Tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844 nuru ya malaika wa tatu ilifika, nuru ya patakatifu ikaanza kung’aa, na jeshi lilikuwapo kuitangaza nuru hiyo.

Mumutsetse weuprofita unozivisa hondo yakapetwa katatu iyo Satani naKristu vakapinda mairi, Bhaibheri reKing James ra1611 rakabudiswa. Makore mazana maviri namakumi maviri chaiwo akatevera gare gare, muna 1831, William Miller akaburitsa shoko rake kekutanga:

> “Kwa muda wa miaka tisa William Miller alisadikishwa kwamba ilimpasa kuutoa ujumbe wake kwa makanisa; lakini alingoja, akitumaini kwamba mamlaka fulani iliyotambuliwa ingetangaza habari njema za Mwokozi ajaye upesi. Kwa kungoja hivyo, alithibitisha tu ukweli wa ujumbe huo; walikuwa na jina kwamba wako hai, lakini walikuwa wakifa upesi. Mwaka 1831 Miller alitoa hotuba yake ya kwanza juu ya unabii.” Steven Haskell, The Seer of Patmos, 77.

UNkulunkulu wavikela imibhalo yokuqala engcwele nelungileyo eyasetshenziswa ekukhiqizweni kweBhayibheli. Wase ekhiqiza iBhayibheli laKhe ngo-1611. Wase evusa isithunywa esasiyosebenzisa imithetho etholakala, ethathwe, futhi emisiwe ngaphakathi kweBhayibheli ukuze kukhiqizwe umlayezo wengelosi yokuqala. Ngo-1831, umlayezo kaMiller wahlelwa ngokusemthethweni, njengoba nomlayezo emlandweni kaKristu wahlelwa ngokusemthethweni nguJohane uMbhapathizi, njengoba umlayezo uhlelwe ngokusemthethweni kuyo yonke inhlangano yokuvuselelwa. Umlayezo kaMiller, ongumlayezo wengelosi yokuqala omemezela ukuvulwa kokwahlulela, usekelwa ngokuqondile ukusetshenziswa kwesikhathi sesiprofetho seminyaka engamakhulu amabili namashumi amabili. Wawungumlayezo wesixwayiso ekuqaleni kombuso wesithupha wesiprofetho seBhayibheli—i-United States.
