Yesu paanovhura chokwadi chechiporofita, anomiririrwa seShumba yorudzi rwaJudha, uye paKesariya Firipi, Shumba yorudzi rwaJudha yakatanga kuvhura chisimbiso che“kuti waifanira kuenda kuJerusarema, nokutambudzwa zvinhu zvizhinji navakuru, navaprista vakuru, navanyori, nokuurawa, nokumutswa nezuva retatu.” Chokwadi ichocho chinowirirana neshoko raakavhura chisimbiso pakutanga kwenguva yokuiswa chisimbiso kwevanhu vane chiuru chimwe namazana mana namakumi mana nezvina, uyezve pakuguma kwenguva iyoyo imwe cheteyo. Chokwadi ichocho chinowirirana neshoko rinomiririrwa mundima yegumi nenhatu kusvikira pagumi neshanu yechitsauko chegumi nerimwe chaDanieri.

PaAnoburitsa chokwadi ichocho kuna vane zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina, Anozviita nenzira yemutsara pamusoro pomutsara, nokuti ndimo munowanikwa “makiyi” oumambo hwaMwari. Zvokwadi izvozvo zvinofanira kudyiwa nokuti ndizvo makiyi oumambo hwaMwari, uye umambo hwaMwari hunofanira kuva mukati mavanhu Vake.

> Zvino wakati abvunzwa neVaFarisi kuti ushe hwaMwari huchauya rinhi, akavapindura akati, Ushe hwaMwari hahuuye nokuonekwa kunocherechedzwa; uye havangati, Tarirai pano! kana kuti, Tarirai apo! nokuti, tarirai, ushe hwaMwari huri mukati menyu. Ruka 17:20, 21.

Madhimoni anotenda, asi zvakadaro anodedera, nokuti hazvina kukwana kungotenda “chokwadi” chete. Chinofanira kuva chikamu chako, sezvakaita zvokudya zvomuviri zvinodyiwa. Munhoroondo yemavhesi gumi namatatu kusvika kugumi namashanu, Shumba yorudzi rwaJudha inobvisa chisimbiso pazvokwadi zvine chokuita nomurayiro weSvondo uri kuuya nokukurumidza, uye zvokwadi izvozvo zvinotsikirira chisimbiso pahuma dzemhandara dzakachenjera, dambudziko rinouya risati rasvika. Shumba yorudzi rwaJudha yaiziva kwazvo uchapupu hwaMateo chitsauko chegumi namatanhatu, uye kushanya Kwake kuKesariya Firipi kwakawirirana nouchapupu hwaDhanieri pamusoro pePaniumu, uye Aiziva kuti mumvuri womuchinjikwa waakamira pasi pawo pamwe chete nomudzidzi Wake muKesariya Firipi waimirira mumvuri womurayiro weSvondo uri kuuya munhoroondo yavanhu Vake vomazuva okupedzisira.

> Kubvira panguva iyoyo Jesu akatanga kuratidza kuvadzidzi vake kuti waifanira kuenda kuJerusarema, uye kunotambudzwa zvinhu zvizhinji navakuru, navaprista vakuru, navanyori, uye kuurawa, uye kumutswa pazuva rechitatu. Ipapo Petro akamubata, akatanga kumutsiura, achiti, Hazvirege kuva kwamuri, Ishe; izvi hazvingaitiki kwamuri. Asi iye akatendeuka, akati kuna Petro, Ibva shure kwangu, Satani; uri chigumbuso kwandiri; nokuti hauna hanya nezvinhu zvaMwari, asi nezvinhu zvavanhu. Ipapo Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake, Kana munhu achida kunditevera, ngaazvirambe, asimudze muchinjikwa wake, anditevere. Nokuti ani nani anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake acharurasikirwa nahwo; uye ani nani acharasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuwana. Nokuti munhu anobatsirwa nei, kana akawana nyika yose, akarashikirwa nomweya wake? Kana munhu angapei sechitsividzo chomweya wake? Nokuti Mwanakomana womunhu achauya mukubwinya kwaBaba vake navatumwa vake; uye ipapo acharipira munhu mumwe nomumwe maererano namabasa ake. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, vamwe varipo pano vakamira, vasingazoraviri rufu, kusvikira vaona Mwanakomana womunhu achiuya muushe hwake. Mateo 16:21–28.

Chinhu chokutanga, uye nokudaro maererano nomutemo wokutanga kutaurwa, chinhu chinonyanya kukosha chakataurwa naJesu kuvadzidzi Vake pamusoro pokutambudzika kwemuchinjikwa, ndechokuti vaifanira kutakura muchinjikwa wavo pachavo, kana vakasarudza kumutevera. Hanzvadzi White anotaura pachena kuti muchinjikwa ndirowo joko. Joko nomuchinjikwa zviratidzo zvezvido zvomunhu pachake, uye zvose zvinoenderana nokushandiswa kwakarurama kwechido. Simba rinotsigira temberi yaMwari iGwayana rakanga raurayiwa uye rakaturikwa pa“mbiru”. Gwayana rinourayiwa rinomirira kurovererwa kwounhu hwapasi hwenyama, uye “mbiru” inoturikwa nyama yakafa pairi ndiyo chido. Kristu akapa muenzaniso Wake wokuti munhu angakunda sei nokuramba achichengeta chido Chake chakazviisa pasi pechido chaBaba Vake, uye nokuda kwokupedzisa basa iroro, akagara pachigaro choushe pamwe chete naBaba Vake. Chiratidzo chokukunda iGwayana rakabayiwa rakaturikwa pambiru. Zvokwadi idzi dzose dzine ukama hwakananga navaya vanomiririrwa saPetro.

Kune veFiladelfia, inomiririrwa netende reExeter, zvinotaurwa kuti:

> Uyo anokunda ndichamuita mbiru mutembere yaMwari wangu, uye haachatongobudizve kunze; uye ndichanyora pamusoro pake zita raMwari wangu, nezita reguta raMwari wangu, iro Jerusarema idzva, rinoburuka richibva kudenga kuna Mwari wangu; uye ndichanyora pamusoro pake zita rangu idzva. Ane nzeve ngaanzwe zvinorehwa noMweya kukereke. Zvakazarurwa 3:12, 13.

Uyo anokunda sezvakakunda Kristu achagamuchira zita idzva, sezvakaitawo Simoni Bhanajona, uye vachava shongwe mutembere yaMwari, sezvakaita Kristu ari Gwayana rakaurayiwa uye rakasungirirwa pashongwe mutembere yaMwari. Kana vakakunda sezvakakunda Kristu, vachagarawo pachigaro choushe munzvimbo dzokudenga, sezvakaitawo Kristu.

KuchechiLaodikia, inomiririrwa netende reWatertown, zvinotaurwa zvinoti:

> Tarirai! Ndakamira pamusuo, ndichigogodza; kana munhu upi noupi akanzwa inzwi rangu akazarura musuo, ndichapinda kwaari, ndigodya naye, naiye agodya neni. Uyo anokunda ndichamupa kugara neni pachigaro changu choushe, sezvandakakundawo ini ndikagara pasi naBaba vangu pachigaro chavo choushe. Une nzeve, ngaanzwe zvinorehwa noMweya kumachechi. Zvakazarurwa 3:20–22.

Христос шавь нартаа загалмайн зовлонг илчилж эхлэхдээ тэдэнд хамгийн түрүүнд айлдсан үнэн нь, хүмүүс Өөрийнх нь даван туулсны жишээгээр яг адилхан ялах ёстой гэсэн үнэн байв. Хүмүүс махан биеийг хүсэл тачаал, шунал хүслүүдийнх нь хамт цовдлох ёстой. Үүнийг үйлдэхэд тэд тэнгэрлэг газруудад суух болно.

> Hata tulipokuwa wafu katika dhambi, alituhuisha pamoja na Kristo (kwa neema mmeokolewa); naye ametufufua pamoja naye, akatuketisha pamoja naye katika ulimwengu wa roho, katika Kristo Yesu. Waefeso 2:5, 6.

A morago ga go baya boammaaruri jwa go bapolwa mo sefapaanong pepeneneng, go ya ka boikarabelo jwa motho ka nosi, Tau ya lotso lwa Juda ya oketsa ka boammaaruri jo bongwe jo bo lebisitsweng mo metlheng ya bofelo.

> Nokuti munhu unobatsirwei, kana akawana nyika yose, akarasikirwa nomweya wake? Kana kuti munhu achapei kuti adzikinure mweya wake? Nokuti Mwanakomana womunhu achauya mukubwinya kwaBaba vake navatumwa vake; zvino achapa munhu mumwe nomumwe mubayiro maererano namabasa ake. Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri, varipo vamwe vakamira pano, vasingazoraviri rufu, kusvikira vaona Mwanakomana womunhu achiuya muumambo hwake. Mateo 16:26–28.

Onenjiro then specifically addressjiro one hundred and forty-four thousand, onji last-day peopleji ambao dimi taste of death to. Therefore, six days after onji visit to Caesarea Philippi, Lion of the tribe of Judah unsealjiro truth rimwe ambalo beeta strengthen disciples onji for the coming crisis of the cross, lakini more importantly, rijiro spoken to the soon coming Sunday law.

> Uye shure kwamazuva matanhatu, Jesu akatora Petro naJakobho naJohane munun’una wake, akakwira navo mugomo refu vari voga. Akashandurwa chimiro pamberi pavo; chiso chake chikapenya sezuva, uye nguo dzake dzikachena sechiedza. Zvino tarirai, vakaonekwa kwavari Mozisi naEria vachitaura naye. Petro akapindura akati kuna Jesu, Ishe, zvakanaka kuti tive pano; kana muchida, ngativake pano matumba matatu; rimwe renyu, rimwe raMozisi, uye rimwe raEria. Achiri kutaura, tarirai, gore rinopenya rikavaputira; zvino tarirai, inzwi rakabuda mugore richiti, Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu anodiwa, wandinofarira kwazvo; munzwei. Vadzidzi vakati vachinzwa izvi, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakatya zvikuru. Jesu akauya akavabata, akati, Simukai, musatya. Zvino vakati vachisimudza meso avo, havana kuona munhu, asi Jesu oga. Zvino pavaiburuka mugomo, Jesu akavaraira, achiti, Musaudza munhu chiratidzo ichi, kusvikira Mwanakomana womunhu amuka kubva kuvakafa. Vadzidzi vake vakamubvunza vachiti, Ko vanyori vanoreverei kuti Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya? Jesu akapindura akati kwavari, Zvirokwazvo Eria achatanga kuuya, uye achadzorera zvinhu zvose. Asi ndinoti kwamuri, Eria wakatouya kare, asi havana kumuziva, asi vakamuitira zvose zvavaida. Saizvozvowo Mwanakomana womunhu achazotamburawo mumaoko avo. Ipapo vadzidzi vakanzwisisa kuti akanga achitaura navo pamusoro paJohane Mubhabhatidzi. Mateo 17:1–13.

Mundima iyi Shumba yorudzi rwaJudha iri kusunungura zvokwadi dzinobvisa chisimbiso pane vane zana nemakumi mana nezvina zvuru nguva chaiyo isati yasvika kuguma kwenguva yenyasha, nokuti “nguva yava pedyo.” Pakutanga Akazivisa kutambudzika kwemuchinjikwa, uye Akamirira chiitiko ichocho semusiyano unotsanangura pakati peboka raizoramba kushandisa kuda kwaro pakuroverera pamuchinjikwa nyama, neboka raizotevera muenzaniso waKristu. Zvino Akavaratidza kuti vaimiririra rudzi rwokupedzisira munhoroondo yenyika, panguva yaizovapo vanhu vaizorarama kubva panguva yokusunungurwa kwechisimbiso kwakaitika musi wa11 Gunyana 2001, kusvikira pakudzoka Kwake.

Ipapo Akaratidza chiratidzo chokuva kwake kwakabwinyiswa, uye pamwe chete naye pakanga pana Mozisi naEria. Shoko rokuti kusimbisa, rakazarurwa zvino, ndirwo Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu, zvinobatanidzwa naMozisi naEria, uye shoko iroro rakatanga kuzarurwa muna Chikunguru 2023, apo zvapupu zviviri zvaZvakazarurwa chitsauko chegumi nerimwe, izvo zvinova Mozisi naEria, zvakagadzwa, mutsara pamusoro pomutsara, sezviratidzo zvaimiririra kusimbiswa kwevane zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina. Vadzidzi vatatu pavakaona chiratidzo ichi uye vakanzwa inzwi raMwari, “vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakatya zvikuru. Uye Jesu akauya akavabata, akati, Simukai, musatya.”

Umbono owabonwa ngabafundi abathathu umelela umbono wenkazimulo kaKristu ezinsukwini zokugcina; ngakho-ke uyefana nalowo mbono uDaniyeli awubona esahlukweni seshumi.

> Ini ndini Dhanieri ndoga ndakaona chiratidzo ichi; nokuti varume vaiva neni havana kuona chiratidzo ichi; asi kudedera kukuru kwakavawira, zvokuti vakatiza vakandozvivanza. Naizvozvo ndakasiyiwa ndiri ndoga, ndikaona chiratidzo ichi chikuru, uye simba harina kusara mandiri; nokuti runako rwangu rwakashanduka mukati mangu rukava kuora, uye handina kusara nesimba. Asi ndakanzwa inzwi ramashoko ake; zvino pandakanzwa inzwi ramashoko ake, ndakabva ndawira muhope huru nechiso changu chakatarira pasi, chiso changu chakatarisana nevhu. Uye tarira, ruoko rwakandibata, rukandisimudza pamabvi angu nepazvanza zvamaoko angu. Zvino akati kwandiri, Haiwa Dhanieri, murume anodikanwa zvikuru, nzwisisa mashoko andinotaura kwauri, umire wakatwasuka; nokuti zvino ndatumwa kwauri. Zvino paakanga ataura shoko iri kwandiri, ndakamira ndichibvunda. Ipapo akati kwandiri, Usatya, Dhanieri; nokuti kubvira pazuva rokutanga rawakaisa moyo wako pakunzwisisa, nokuzvininipisa pamberi paMwari wako, mashoko ako akanzwikwa, uye ndauya nokuda kwamashoko ako. Dhanieri 10:7–12.

Chiono chekupenyuka kwakaitwa chimiro cheumwari muna Mateo chitsauko 17, ndicho chiono chegirazi chinotaurwa muna Danieri chitsauko 10, chinoitika apo mapfupa akaoma akafa aEzekieri anomutswa. Chiono ichi, pamwe neshoko rinobatana nacho, chinoratidza mapoka maviri avanamati, rimwe riri mutende reExeter, uye rimwe riri mutende reWatertown, iro riri ungano yaJeremiya yevaseki, uye sinagogi yaSatani yaJohane. Sezvakanga zvakaita pamigumisiro yechiono muuchapupu hwaDanieri, saizvozvowo “vadzidzi vakati vachizvinzwa, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakatya zvikuru. Jesu akasvika akavabata, akati, Simukai, musatya.” Chiono ichi chaive chinonzwika uye chinooneka muzviitiko zvose zviri zviviri, uye chakabereka kutya, mumienzaniso yose iri miviri. “Kubata” kwaidikanwa kuti kusimbise muuchapupu hwose huri hwiviri.

Chiratidzo chokushandurwa kwechimiro chaiva humbowo, pakati pezvimwe zvinhu, chokuti Shoko raMwari harikundikani; nokuti muchitsauko chegumi nechitanhatu chaMateo, mundima yokupedzisira, Jesu akanga ataura kuti, “Vamwe varipo pano vamire, vasingazooni rufu, kusvikira vaona Mwanakomana womunhu achiuya muushe hwake.” Kushandurwa kwechimiro kwaiva mufananidzo wokuuya kwa“Mwanakomana womunhu” muushe hwake.

Mushure mekumubata, Jesu akapa vadzidzi murayiro wakawedzera paakati, “Musaudza munhu chiono ichi, kusvikira Mwanakomana womunhu amuka zvakare kuvakafa.” Chiono chokushandurwa kwechimiro, chinova chiono chegirazi, nechiono chaIsaya muchitsauko chechitanhatu, nechiono chaPauro paakanga ari kudenga rechitatu, nechiono chaEzekieri chamavhiri ari mukati mamavhiri, zvakanga zvakaiswa chisimbiso neShumba yorudzi rwaJudha, kusvikira mushure mokumuka kwaKristu.

SavavaJudha, vaipa zvibayiro zvavo zvisingabatsiri, naivowo vanopa minyengetero yavo isingabatsiri kukamuri iya yakasiyiwa naJesu; uye Satani, achifadzwa nokunyengedzwa uku, anozviita somunhu worudzidziso, uye anotungamirira pfungwa dzavaKristu ava vanozviti ndevaKristu kuti dzitevere kwaari, achishanda nesimba rake, nezviratidzo zvake, nezvishamiso zvokunyepa, kuti avasungirire mumusungo wake. Vamwe anovanyengera neimwe nzira, uye vamwe neimwewo. Ane kunyengedzwa kwakasiyana kwakagadzirirwa kubata pfungwa dzakasiyana. Vamwe vanotarira nokutya kukuru imwe kunyengedzwa, asi vachigamuchira nyore imwewo. Satani anonyengera vamwe neSpiritualism. Uyewo anouya somutumwa wechiedza, ndokuparadzira simba rake pamusoro penyika achishandisa kuvandudzwa kwenhema. Machechi anozvikudza, uye anofunga kuti Mwari ari kuvaitira mabasa anoshamisa, asi ibasa romumwe mweya. Kushushikana uku kuchapera, kuchisiya nyika nechechi zviri mumamiriro akaipa kupfuura okutanga.”

Asi chiedza chichapenya, uye vose vakatendeka vachabuda mumachechi akawa, vagomira pamwe chete navakasara.” Early Writings, 258–261.
