> Mutoro weTire. Chemai, imi zvengarava zveTarshishi; nokuti raparadzwa, kusvikira pasisina imba, pasisina pokupinda napo; vakaziviswa izvozvo kubva kunyika yeKitimu. Nyararai henyu, imi vagari vechitsuwa; iwe wakazadzwa navatengesi veZidhoni, vanoyambuka gungwa. Uye pamusoro pemvura zhinji mbeu yeSihori, kukohwa korwizi, ndiyo mari yaro; uye rakava musika wendudzi. Nyadziswa, iwe Zidhoni; nokuti gungwa rataura, iro simba regungwa richiti, Handina kurwadziwa pakusununguka, handina kubereka vana, handina kurera majaya, kana kukudza mhandara. Sezvazvakanga zvakaita pakunzwika kweshoko pamusoro peIjipiti, saizvozvowo vacharwadziwa zvikuru pakunzwika kweshoko pamusoro peTire. Yambukirai kuTarshishi; chemai, imi vagari vechitsuwa. Ndiro here guta renyu rinofara, iro rekare kubva pamazuva akare-kare? Tsoka dzaro pachadzo dzicharitakura richienda kure kundogara somutorwa. Ndianiko akaronga zano iri pamusoro peTire, guta rinogadza korona, rine vatengesi vari machinda, nevanoita zvokutengeserana varo vari vanokudzwa venyika? Jehovha wehondo ndiye akazvironga, kuti asvibise kuzvikudza kwokubwinya kwose, uye kuti azvidze vose vanokudzwa venyika. Pfuura nomunyika mako sorwizi, iwe mwanasikana weTarshishi; hapasisina simba. Akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, akazunungusa ushe; Jehovha akaraira pamusoro peguta rokutengeserana, kuti aparadze nhare dzaro. Uye akati, Hauchapembedziwo kufara, iwe mhandara yakamanikidzwa, mwanasikana weZidhoni; simuka, yambukira kuKitimu; kunyange ikoko hauzowani zororo. Tarirai nyika yavaKaradhea; rudzi urwu rwakanga rusipo, kusvikira muAsiria arivakira vaya vaigara murenje; vakamisa shongwe dzaro, vakavaka mizinda yaro; akariunza pakuparadzwa. Chemai, imi zvengarava zveTarshishi; nokuti simba renyu raparadzwa. Zvino zvichaitika pazuva iro, kuti Tire richakanganwikwa makore makumi manomwe, maererano namazuva amambo mumwe; shure kwamakore makumi manomwe Tire richaimba senyengeri. Tora rudimbwa, tenderera muguta, iwe hure rakanga rakanganwikwa; ridza zvinonzwika zvakanaka, imba nziyo zhinji, kuti urangarirwe.

Izwi elithi “umthwalo” evesini lokuqala libonisa isiprofetho sentshabalalo esimelene nombuso waseTire.

Umthwalo: H4853—Uvela ku-H5375; umthwalo; ikakhulukazi intela, noma (ngokungaqondakali) ukuthwala impahla; ngokomfanekiso isisho, ikakhulu isahlulelo, ikakhulukazi ukucula; ngokwengqondo, isifiso: – umthwalo, susa, isiprofetho, X ababekayo, ingoma, intela.

Mutoro weTire ndicho chimwe chezvikamu zvakawanda zviri muBhaibheri umo kutongwa kwekupedzisira kweChechi yeRoma Katurike kunozivikanwa. “Mutoro,” maererano nokushandiswa kwaro netsananguro yaro, chiporofita, uye zvikuru chiporofita chenjodzi.

Ndzi fanele ku hambuka swin’we nyana. Xikongomelo xa dyondzo ya vuprofeta bya Tiri, eku heteleleni, i ku fambelanisa matimu ya vuprofeta ya United States ni lawa ya kereke ya Seventh-day Adventist. Hi ta kombisa leswaku mfumo wa United States i rinanga rin’we eka xivandzana lexi fanaka ni xinyimpfana xa Nhlavutelo 13, naswona Vuprotestanti lebyi humeke eMinkarhini ya Munyama a byi ri rinanga rin’wana. Rinanga ra Vuprotestanti ri hundzuke Millerite Adventism hi nkarhi lowu Maprotestanti ya United States ma bakanyeke rungula ra ntsumi yo sungula. Loko sweswo se swi yimisiwile, hi ta kombisa leswaku matimu ya rinanga ra Vuprotestanti ni matimu ya rinanga ra Republican ma fambelana, naswona ma ri ni swihlawulekisi swa vuprofeta leswi fambelanaka. Hikokwalaho ka leswi, ma le ka xivandzana xin’we, leswi yimelaka leswaku tinanga leti timbirhi i ta nkarhi wun’we.

Saizvozvo, runyanga rweRepublican runomirira hurumende yeUnited States rwaifanira kuva rwevanhu uye rwevanhu, asi vagari veUnited States vakanganwawo gwaro dzvene ravakapiwa kuti vachengete.

Vakanganwa shoko reBumbiro ravakapiwa kuti varichengete, uye ravakati ndivo varidziviriri.

> “Uye ngakukhunjulwe lokhu, ukuzigqaja kweRoma wukuthi ayiguquki nanini. Izimiso zikaGregory VII no-Innocent III ziseyizimiso zeBandla lamaRoma Katolika nanamuhla. Futhi uma nje ibinawo amandla, ibingazisebenzisa lezo zimiso ngokushisekela okukhulu namuhla njengasekhulwini elidlule. AmaProthestani awaqondi kangako ukuthi enzani lapho ephakamisa ukwamukela usizo lweRoma emsebenzini wokuphakanyiswa kweSonto. Ngesikhathi ezimisele ukufeza injongo yawo, iRoma ihlose ukubuyisela amandla ayo, iphinde ithole ubukhosi bayo obalahleka. Makumiswe kanye e-United States isimiso sokuthi ibandla lingasebenzisa noma lilawule amandla ombuso; ukuthi imikhosi yenkolo ingaphoqelelwa ngemithetho yezwe; ngamafuphi, ukuthi igunya lebandla nombuso libuse unembeza—khona ukunqoba kweRoma kuleli zwe kuqinisekile.”

Zvino muchitsauko chemakumi matatu tinoona mutoro wezvikara zvokumaodzanyemba, uyo uri mufananidzo wechipiri wokupanduka kwevaAdventist veRaodhikia. Kuunganidza pamwe chete mitoro yose yaIsaya kunenge kuchibata anenge mutambi wose wechiporofita ari mu“mazuva okupedzisira.” Ndiri kusarudza Isaya makumi maviri nematatu kuti ndiratidze kuti nhoroondo yeUnited States, sehumambo hwechitanhatu hwechiporofita cheBhaibheri, inotonga kubva muna 1798 kusvikira kumurayiro weSvondo.

> Uye mweya yevaporofita inozviisa pasi pevaporofita. Nokuti Mwari haasi muvambi wenyongano, asi werugare, sezvazvakaita mumachechi ose avatsvene. 1 VaKorinde 14:32, 33.

Pakupera kwenyika “kutongwa kwepfambi huru inogara pamusoro pemvura zhinji,” iyo pfambi huru “yakaita kuti madzimambo enyika vaite upombwe” nayo, iyo pfambi huru yakadhakisa “vagari venyika” “newaini youpombwe hwayo;” inomiririrwa naIsaya se“hure” rinokanganwikwa “kwemazuva amambo mumwe,” kana makore makumi manomwe echiporofita. Makore makumi manomwe paanopera, Tiro “ichaita upombwe noushe hwose hwenyika.” Hure raIsaya ndiyo pfambi huru yaJohani. Hure raIsaya nepfambi yaJohani zvinomiririra kereke yeRoma Katorike, nokuti mukadzi chiratidzo chekereke muShoko raMwari.

> Vakadzi, zviisei pasi pevarume venyu pachenyu, sokunaShe. Nokuti murume ndiye musoro womukadzi, saKristuwo ari musoro wekereke; uye ndiye Muponesi womutumbi. Naizvozvo, sekereke ichizviisa pasi paKristu, saizvozvowo vakadzi ngavazviise pasi pevarume vavo pachavo pazvinhu zvose. Varume, idai vakadzi venyu, saKristuwo akada kereke, akazvipira nokuda kwayo; kuti aiite tsvene nokuiita yakachena nokushambidzwa kwemvura neshoko, kuti azviise pamberi pake iri kereke ine kubwinya, isina gwapa, kana kuunyana, kana chinhu chipi nechipi chakadai; asi kuti ive tsvene isina mhosva. Saizvozvo varume vanofanira kuda vakadzi vavo semitumbi yavo pachavo. Anoda mukadzi wake anozvida iye amene. Nokuti hakuna munhu akambovenga nyama yake pachake; asi anoirera nokuichengeta, sezvinoitawo Ishe kukereke. Nokuti isu tiri mitezo yomutumbi wake, yenyama yake, neyamapfupa ake. Nokuda kweizvi murume achasiya baba naamai vake, obatanidzwa kumukadzi wake, uye ivo vaviri vachava nyama imwe. Ichi chinhu chakavanzika chikuru; asi ndinotaura pamusoro paKristu nekereke. Kunyange zvakadaro, mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaade mukadzi wake sezvaanozvida iye amene; nomukadzi ngaaremekedze murume wake. VaEfeso 5:22–33.

Muapostora Pauro anoratidza kuti kereke yaKristu inomiririrwa muchiporofita somukadzi. Naizvozvo, mukadzi muchiporofita ikereke, asi kereke yaKristu “itsvene, isina gwapa.” Kereke isiri tsvene inomiririrwa somukadzi asiri mutsvene; saka Isaya anotaura nezve hure, uye Johanewo chipfambi.

Ahi itorero ry’Imana ntiryigereranywa gusa n’isugi, ahubwo ryashyingiwe umugabo umwe gusa. Tiro n’indaya ikomeye ya Yohana basambana n’abami bo mu isi. Itorero Gatolika rifitanye umubano n’abagabo benshi, si umwe. Daniyeli atumenyesha ko abo bami ari ubwami.

Uye pose panogara vana vavanhu, mhuka dzesango neshiri dzokudenga akazviisa muruoko rwenyu, akakuitai mutongi pamusoro pazvo zvose. Imi ndimi musoro uyo wendarama.

Katiba ya Marekani ni waraka wa kimungu unaoweka rasmi ulazima wa kuyaweka haya mashirika mawili yakiwa yametenganishwa. Ijapokuwa bado hatujamaliza kuitambulisha Tiro kuwa ni kanisa la Roma Katoliki, yaonekana inafaa katika hatua hii kushughulikia ishara nyingine katika Isaya ishirini na tatu ambayo hufafanua ishara ya mwanamume na mwanamke—kanisa na dola.

“Mji mkuu” katika Ufunuo kumi na moja ulikuwa taifa la Ufaransa ambalo lilipitisha “amri ya Bunge lake la Kutunga Sheria” ikitangaza kwamba hakuna Mungu. Amri hiyo ilikuwa udhihirisho wa ukana-Mungu kama unavyowakilishwa na uasi wa Farao. Mji mkuu ni ufalme, au “taifa” au “dola.” Katika Ufunuo kumi na moja Ufaransa inajumuisha alama mbili—Misri na Sodoma.

Kupanduka kwa Nimrodi kunawakilishwa na kujenga kwake mnara na mji, jambo linaloonyesha mfano wa muungano wa kanisa na dola katika mwisho wa dunia, kwa maana manabii wote walinena juu ya mwisho wa dunia. Kupanduka kwa Nimrodi pia kulikuwa mwendelezo wa uasi wa Lusifa ambaye tamaa yake ilikuwa kuyatawala yote mawili, kanisa la Mungu na dola ya Mungu.

Wakati ufalme unafikia mwisho na upapa unaimba wimbo wa uzoefu wake wa zamani, uzoefu ambao wanahistoria huutaja kuwa ni giza; basi historia hiyo ya giza ingewezaje kuwa ujumbe kwa upapa wa kuwashirikisha wafalme wa dunia ambao ungewasadikisha kufanya uasherati pamoja naye? Katika kipindi cha mgogoro mkuu, kwa nini uzoefu wa nyakati zilizopita, (wimbo wake) uzoefu wake kabla hajasahauliwa kiunabii, utoe mantiki kwa wafalme wa dunia kukubali uzoefu wa giza kuwa suluhisho la mgogoro wao mkuu?

U-Elija ekh confronting the abaprofethi bakaBhali nabaphristi besihlahla eNtabeni iKarmeli umelela umthetho weSonto. Umlayezo ebandleni wawuthi, “khethani namuhla ukuthi niyakukhonza bani.” Lapho lo mlando uphindaphindwa emthethweni weSonto, umbuzo uba ngothi, “yiluphi usuku enizolukhetha, ngokuba usuku enilukhethayo lubonisa ukuthi nikhonza bani.” Ngaphambi kweNtaba iKarmeli kwakukhona iminyaka emithathu nengxenye yesomiso esinzima. Ngaphambi komthetho weSonto kukhona uchungechunge lwemithetho yeSonto, kodwa ayikaze “iqiniswe ngokuqinile.” Isimiso esihambisana nomthetho weSonto sithi ukuhlubuka kwesizwe kulandelwa ukubhujiswa kwesizwe. Isibonelo salokho nguConstantine, owathi ngonyaka ka-321 wamisa umthetho weSonto, kwase kuthi kungekudala emva kwalokho amacilongo amane okuqala eSambulo isahluko sesishiyagalombili aqala ukuletha iRoma yaseNtshonalanga esiphethweni sayo ngonyaka ka-476. Indaba kaConstantine ibalulekile ngoba yahlanganisa ukuphakanyiswa kweSonto okuqhubekela phambili, kanye nokubekelwa imingcele okuqhubekela phambili kweSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa ngesikhathi esifanayo. Lo mlando oqhubekayo wafinyelela esiphethweni sawo lapho izakhamuzi zaphoqwa ukugcina iSonto noma zishushiswe ngenxa yokugcina iSabatha. Lokho futhi kuyisiphetho somthetho weSonto okhuphukayo e-United States. Esinye isimiso esihambisana nokuphoqelelwa kokukhonza ngeSonto sithi, “ukuhlubuka kwesizwe kulandelwa ukubhujiswa kwesizwe.” Lesi simiso sisho ukuthi ukuqina okwandayo kokuphoqelelwa komthetho weSonto kuveza ukwanda kwezahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu, ngaphambi komthetho weSonto uqobo lweSambulo 13:11. Ukumiswa ngakunye kuyoletha ukubhujiswa okuhambelanayo. Izahlulelo izakhamuzi ezisola abagcina iSabatha ngokuthi ziyazibangela empeleni zibangelwa ukuqina okwandayo kokuphoqelelwa komthetho weSonto.

Ni muhimu kufuatilia siku na miaka inayotajwa katika kitabu cha Isaya, kwa maana mara nyingi hutambulisha wakati wa kiunabii wa kifungu kinachofuata. Isaya ishirini na tatu hufuata “mzigo” wa bonde la maono katika sura ya ishirini na mbili, ambao umetanguliwa na sura ya ishirini na moja yenye “mizigo” mitatu; na mizigo hiyo yote mitatu huitambulisha Uislamu. Kabla ya sura hiyo, katika mstari wa kwanza wa sura ya ishirini, huwekwa mazingira ya historia ya kiunabii ambamo unabii unaofuata wa maangamizi hutambulishwa katika sura zinazofuata.

Alikuwa amemwona mfalme akifukuzwa kutoka katika ufalme wake, na kufanywa mshirika wa wanyama wa porini. Lakini upendo wa Belshazaru kwa anasa na kujitukuza ulifuta mafundisho ambayo hakupaswa kamwe kuyasahau; naye akatenda dhambi zinazofanana na zile zilizoleta hukumu za kutisha juu ya Nebukadneza. Alipoteza nafasi alizopewa kwa neema, akipuuzia kutumia nafasi zilizokuwa ndani ya uwezo wake ili kuifahamu kweli. ‘Nifanye nini nipate kuokolewa?’ lilikuwa swali ambalo mfalme huyo mkuu lakini mpumbavu alilipita kwa kutokujali.” Bible Echo, April 25, 1898.

Kunyorwa kuri pamadziro kumutungamiri wekupedzisira ndiko kuvandudzwa kwekutanga, kunozivisa “rusvingo” rwekuparadzaniswa kwechechi nehurumende, izvo mambo wokupedzisira benzi asinganzwisisi. “Nguva nomwe” dzaRevhitiko 26 dzinomirira “kuparadzirwa kwavanhu” kunoitwa namambo wokuchamhembe paMutemo weSvondo. Kuparadzirwa ikoko ndiko kuparara kwenyika kunotevera Mutemo weSvondo. Rudzi rwechitanhatu rwakakanganwa zvidzidzo zvamadzibaba aro akatanga nyika, avo vakanyora Bumbiro reMitemo kuti vadzivirire kwete chete kubva kuchechi yakaora, asiwo kubva kumadzimambo eEurope aitsiva utsinye, ayo mukadzi akaora akarara nawo. Madzibaba akatanga nyika anomirira avo vakaramba upapa namadzimambo eEurope, nokuti vaiziva kubva pazvakaitika kwavari pachavo, mushure mokubuda mukuparadzirwa kwemakore ane chiuru namazana maviri namakumi matanhatu erima reupapa, kuti kudzivirirwa pakutonga kweutsinye hwakadaro kwaifanira kuva musimboti mukuru weBumbiro ravo idzva. Vaiva madzibaba akachenjera, vaiva vakaita segwayana, asi hazvizovi zvakadaro nababa vokupedzisira, nokuti iye achataura seshato. Madzibaba akabuda mukuparadzirwa, asi mwanakomana anodzokera mukuparadzirwa. Mudzvanyiriri muzviitiko zvose izvi ndiro upapa hwokutanga noupapa hwokupedzisira.

Chiratidzo chekutongwa kwakauya pamusoro paNebhukadhinezari, mambo wokutanga, uye pamusoro pamambo wokupedzisira Bherishazari, chaiva kuparadzirwa kwe“nguva nomwe” kweRevhitiko makumi maviri nenhanhatu. Nebhukadhinezari akazvirarama, uye Bherishazari akazvinyorerwa pamadziro setsananguro yeguva rake usiku ihwohwo chaihwo hwaakafa. Chiratidzo cherunyanga rweRepublican pakutanga chaiva kutiza kwaro kubva muusungwa hwamambo wokumusoro, uye chiratidzo cherunyanga rweRepublican pakuguma kwaro kusungwa kunouyiswa namambo wokumusoro. Mutemo weSvondo ndiwo “usiku ihwohwo chaihwo” hwainofa sehumambo hwechitanhatu hwechiporofita cheBhaibheri. Mumifananidzo yose mina, Bherishazari, Nebhukadhinezari, uye kutanga nokuguma kwerunyanga rweRepublican, makumi maviri neshanu makumi maviri eRevhitiko makumi maviri nenhanhatu, ndicho chiratidzo chinomiririrwa pakutanga nepamagumo.

Uporofita hwekutanga hwe“nguva” hwakawanikwa naWilliam Miller hwaiva makore zviuru zviviri nemazana mashanu nemakumi maviri eRevhitiko makumi maviri nenhanhatu. Ndiro raiva dombo rokutanga munheyo yakaiswa naJesu kubudikidza nebasa raMiller. Rakanga ririwo chokwadi chokutanga chenheyo chakaiswa parutivi neAdventism muna 1863. Apo matombo ose aMiller echokwadi akaiswa munheyo, zvokwadi izvozvo zvakamiririrwa pamatafura maviri aHabhakuki, ayo ari machati evapayona a1843 na1850.

**Mkopo Rahisi na Utoaji wa Mikopo ya Kihisia:** Benki na taasisi za kifedha zilikuwa zikitoa kiasi kikubwa cha mikopo na fedha za kuazima, mara nyingi bila dhamana ya kutosha. Upatikanaji huu mwepesi wa mikopo ulichangia msisimko wa ubashiri wa kifedha na kuongeza hatari za kuyumba kwa uthabiti wa kifedha.

Kuwedzera kwakanyanyisa kwemabhanga: Mabhanga akanga achikurumidza kuwedzera mashandiro awo, kazhinji achiburitsa mari yepamapepa (manotsi emabhanga) yakawanda kupfuura mari yesimbi chaiyo (ndarama nesirivha) yavaiva nayo yekuitsigira. Maitiro aya, aizivikanwa se“wildcat banking,” akaguma nokuwandisa kwemari yaifamba-famba isina kurongeka uye isingavimbiki.

Zvinhu zvePasi Rose: Dambudziko muUnited States rakakanganiswawo nemamiriro ezvehupfumi enyika dzepasi rose. Kudzikira kwehupfumi hweBritain, iyo yaiva umwe wevakuru vaibatana neUnited States mukutengeserana, kwakakonzera kuderera kwekudiwa kwezvinhu nezvinotengeswa kunze neAmerica.

Kutya na Kukimbilia Benki: Mnamo Mei 1837, mfululizo wa mishtuko ya kifedha, ikiwa ni pamoja na kufilisika kwa benki na kubanwa kwa mikopo, ulisababisha hali ya kutishika miongoni mwa wawekezaji na wenye amana. Kutishika huko kulichochea wimbi la kukimbilia benki na kubanwa kwa mikopo kwa kiwango kikubwa.

Kupunguka kwa Kiasi cha Fedha Kilichopo: Benki ziliposhindwa na mikopo kuwa migumu kupatikana, kiasi cha fedha kwa jumla katika uchumi kilipungua kwa kiwango kikubwa. Kupungua huku kwa kiasi cha fedha kulizidisha matatizo ya kiuchumi na kuimarisha mdororo wa uchumi. Muunganiko wa mambo haya ulisababisha kuzorota kwa uchumi kwa kiwango kikubwa, kukiwa na kufeli kwa benki, ukosefu wa ajira, kupungua kwa matumizi ya walaji, na mdororo mkuu wa uchumi kwa ujumla.
