Emi gqibe ngendatya inqaku lethu lokugqibela sichukumisa imigca emithathu ehambelanayo yobungqina besiprofeto emelwe zizahluko zeshumi elinanye ukuya kwezamashumi amabini anesibini kwiGenesis, incwadi yokuqala yeTestamente eNdala, uMateyu incwadi yokuqala yeTestamente eNtsha, neSityhilelo incwadi yokugqibela yeTestamente eNtsha kwakunye neBhayibhile. Umgca weGenesis uchaza umnqophiso noAbram, umgca kaMateyu uchaza umnqophiso nebandla lamaKristu, uPetros engumfuziselo wesiqalo nesiphelo sikaSirayeli wokomoya wale mihla. Iivesi eziphakathi kuyo yomibini imigca zichaza itywina likaThixo; kuAbram, yayikukuba “lulwaluko,” yaye kuPetros yayikukutshintshwa kwegama lakhe. Ivesi esembindini yomgca weSityhilelo sisahluko seshumi elinesixhenxe, ivesi yeshumi elinesibini.

> Kwaye amahembe alishumi owabonayo angookumkani abalishumi, abangekafumani bukumkani; kodwa bamkela igunya njengookumkani ngexesha elinye nesilo. ISityhilelo 17:12.

Kubva muna Genesisi na Mateo kunozivikanwa kuroorana kweHumwari nevanhu, uye Zvakazarurwa zvinoratidza kuroorana kwechikara neshato panguva yemurayiro weSvondo. Mitsetse yose mitatu inonongedzera kumurayiro weSvondo uko rimwe boka rinoratidza mucherechedzo wechikara uye rimwe chisimbiso chaMwari. Chokunyepedzera chechikara neshato mundima yegumi nembiri ndiko kutaurwa kweomega kweshongwe yaNimrodhi muna Genesisi gumi nerimwe. Ikoko chitendero chesungano chokunyepedzera chakasangana nokutongwa kwacho, uye muna Zvakazarurwa gumi nenomwe hure—ndihwo Bhabhironi guru—rinotongwa. Nimrodhi ndiye arufa kune omega yeVatican, uye nokuda kwechikonzero ichi upapa ndihwo Bhabhironi guru, omega kuBhabheri raNimrodhi iro arufa.

Kuzivikanwa mumavhesi matatu aya ari pakati ndekwokuti uchapupu huri mune imwe neimwe nzvimbo yepakati yomutsetse ihwo chaizvoizvo mavhesi matatu.

> Ichi ndicho chipangano changu, chamunofanira kuchengeta, pakati pangu nemi, uye nembeu yako shure kwako: Murume mumwe nomumwe pakati penyu anofanira kudzingiswa. Munofanira kudzingisa nyama yeganda repamberi penyu; uye icho chichava chiratidzo chechipangano pakati pangu nemi. Uyo ane mazuva masere okuberekwa anofanira kudzingiswa pakati penyu, murume mumwe nomumwe muzvizvarwa zvenyu, uyo akaberekerwa mumba, kana akatengwa nemari kumutorwa upi noupi, asiri wembeu yako. Genesi 17:10–12.

> Jesu akamupindura, akati kwaari: Waropafadzwa iwe, Simoni Barjona; nokuti nyama neropa hazvina kukuzarurira izvi, asi Baba vangu vari kudenga. Uye ini ndinotiwo kwauri: Iwe uri Petro, uye pamusoro pedombo iri ndichavaka kereke yangu; uye masuo egehena haangatongokundi. Uye ndichakupa makiyi oushe hwekudenga; uye chipi nechipi chauchasunga panyika chichasungwa kudenga; uye chipi nechipi chauchasunungura panyika chichasunungurwa kudenga. Mateo 16:17–19.

Nhoroondo yesungano yenhema inomiririrwa nezvitina nedhaka zvaNimrodhi, uye nehurongwa hwake hwenhema hwechechi nehurumende, hunomiririrwa neshongwe neguta, inofananidzira hurongwa hwenhema hwomufananidzo wechikara hunomiririrwa muomega yenyaya yaNimrodhi. Mitsetse mitatu, ine nzvimbo nhatu dzepakati dzendima nhatu, iyo yose inopupurira sungano youpenyu nesungano yorufu. Zviuru zvine zana namakumi mana nezvina ndivo vechisere vechokwadi vanobva kune vanomwe, uye hupapa ingori yekunyepedzera chete. Boka raNimrodhi rine kubatana kwepfungwa pamuchato waro, chiri chokunyepera zviuru zvine zana namakumi mana nezvina, avo vakabatanidzwa nepfungwa dzaKristu. Chikara chenhema “chaivapo, uye hachipo,” chiri chokunyepera Kristu uyo akanga aripo, uye aripo, uye achazovapo. Mundima yechisere kuratidzwa kuzere kwechokunyepera chinomiririrwa nehupapa kunotsanangurwa.

> Chikara chawakaona chaivapo, asi hachisisipo; uye chichakwira chichibva mugomba risina pasi, chigoenda mukuparadzwa; uye vagere panyika vachashamisika, avo mazita avo asina kunyorwa mubhuku roupenyu kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika, pavachaona chikara icho chaivapo, uye chisipo, kunyange zvakadaro chiripo. Zvakazarurwa 17:8.

Yesu ndiye aliyekuwako, aliyeko, na atakayekuja bado; na upapa, yule wa nane aliye wa wale saba, ndiye yule mnyama ambaye “alikuwako, hayuko, lakini yuko.” “Saa moja” ambayo ndoa ya joka na mnyama huiwakilisha ni historia kuanzia sheria ya Jumapili, ambapo wale laki moja wanaowakilishwa na Petro na Abramu hupanda mbinguni kama bendera, wakati ule ule ambao upapa hupanda.

Tanga tichitsvaka kubata bhuku raJoeri kubva pamaonero okuti Petro paPendekosti akaratidza shoko rake rePendekosti sokuzadzikiswa kwaJoeri. Mumitsara mitatu yesungano ine zvitsauko gumi nezviviri mumwe nomumwe, mavhesi matatu epakati omutsara mumwe nomumwe anobata nhoroondo imwe cheteyo, uye Petro anomiririrwa munhoroondo iyoyo sokunge ari naJesu paKesariya Firipi, iro riri Paniumi, iro riri nzvimbo iyo nyika yava pedyo chaizvo nokusangana nayo zvino. PaPaniumi, Petro ariwo muJerusarema pakudururwa kwePendekosti. Mitsara mitatu yezvitsauko gumi nezviviri inosangana paPaniumi napaPendekosti apo chisimbiso chaMwari chinoiswa paMwenga waKristu uye chiratidzo chechikara chinoiswa paMwenga waSatani. Bhuku raJoeri riri kuratidza kudanwa kwokumuka kuri mumufananidzo wemhandara gumi, apo kereke yeLaodhikia yeSeventh-day Adventist inomuka ichiziva chokwadi chokuti yakarasika.

Bhuku ra Joere rakaiswa mukati memamiriro ezvizvarwa zvina.

> Je, jambo hili limekuwa katika siku zenu, au hata katika siku za baba zenu? Waambieni watoto wenu habari zake, na watoto wenu waambie watoto wao, na watoto wao waambie kizazi kingine. Hayo yaliyosalia baada ya panzi waharibifu kula, yameliwa na nzige; na yale yaliyosalia baada ya nzige kula, yameliwa na mabuu; na yale yaliyosalia baada ya mabuu kula, yameliwa na viwavi. Yoeli 1:1–4.

“වයෝවෘද්ධ මිනිසුන්” යනු එක්ලක්ෂ හතළිස් හතර දහස මුද්‍රා තැබීමේ කාලයේ ලාඔදිසීය සත්වන දින අද්වෙන්තිස්ත සභාවේ නායකයන්ය; එමෙන්ම, මුද්‍රා තැබීම ශුද්ධාත්මයාණන්ගේ වගුරුවීම අතරතුර සිදු කරනු ලැබේ. “වයෝවෘද්ධ මිනිසුන්” එසකියෙල් විසින් “පුරාණ මිනිසුන්” ලෙස නිරූපණය කර ඇත.

> Ipapo akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, waona here zvinoitwa navakuru veimba yaIsraeri murima, mumwe nomumwe mumakamuri ezvifananidzo zvake? Nokuti vanoti, Jehovha haationi; Jehovha akasiya nyika. Ezekieri 8:12.

Ukuvuselelwa kukwenza kucace ukuthi ukubekwa uphawu kwesahluko sesishiyagalolunye sikaHezekeli kuyikho kanye ukubekwa uphawu okufanayo nokwesahluko sesikhombisa sesAmbulo. Kucacile futhi ukuthi “amadoda amadala” ezinengekayo ezine ezandayo zesahluko sesishiyagalombili, amelwe yisibalo esingu-25. Amadoda amadala angamashumi amabili nanhlanu ayefanele ukuba ngabalindi bomhlambi kaNkulunkulu, yiwo amadoda akhothamela ilanga. Yiwona aqala ukwahlulelwa. Ngokwengqikithi yendlu engcwele abayifulathelayo, amele izigaba ezimbili zabapristi abayishumi nambili kanye nompristi omkhulu. Ngesikhathi somthetho weSonto, akhothamela ilanga futhi amukela uphawu lwesilo, ebophezela ukuvumelana kwawo nodrako, isilo, kanye nomprofethi wamanga. Laba abangama-25 bafanekiswa ngabangu-250 ekuhlubukeni kukaKora, uDathani no-Abiramu, abamele inyunyana ephindwe kathathu amadoda angu-250 anikela impepho ayijoyinayo. Labo baholi abathathu abakhulu bokuhlubuka bafa lapho umhlaba uvula umlomo wawo wabagwinya.

> Moses akati, “Neizvi ndipo pamuchaziva kuti Jehovha akandituma kuti ndiite mabasa awa ose; nokuti handina kuaita nokufunga kwangu pachangu. Kana varume ava vakafa rufu runowanikwa navanhu vose, kana vakashanyirwa nokushanyirwa kunowanikwa navanhu vose, ipapo Jehovha haana kundituma. Asi kana Jehovha akaita chinhu chitsva, nyika ikazarura muromo wayo ikavamedza pamwe chete nezvose zviri zvavo, vakaburukira vari vapenyu kugomba; ipapo muchanzwisisa kuti varume ava vakatsamwisa Jehovha.”

> Zvino zvakaitika kuti paakanga apedza kutaura mashoko ose aya, ivhu rakanga riri pasi pavo rikabvaruka nepakati. Nyika ikashamisa muromo wayo, ikawamedza pamwe chete nedzimba dzavo, navanhu vose vaiva vaKora, nezvinhu zvavo zvose. Ivo, nezvose zvaiva zvavo, vakaburukira vari vapenyu mugomba; nyika ikavapfigira pamusoro pavo, vakaparadzwa kubva pakati peungano.

> Vose vaIsraeri vose vakanga vakavakomberedza vakatiza pakunzwa kuchema kwavo; nokuti vakati, Zvichida nyika ingatimedzawo nesu. Ipapo moto wakabuda kuna Jehovha, ukaparadza varume mazana maviri namakumi mashanu vakanga vachipa zvinonhuhwira. Numeri 16:28–35.

Uasi wa mwaka 1888 ulifananishwa kwa mfano na uasi wa Kora, Dathani, Abiramu na wale watu 250 waliotoa uvumba. Hao watu 250 walikuwa wameunda muungano pamoja na shirikisho la namna tatu linalofika kwenye sheria ya Jumapili wakati Marekani, mnyama wa nchi, anapofungua kinywa chake na kusema kama joka. Katika hatua hiyo, mvua ya masika ya mwisho humwagwa bila kipimo, kama vile wale watu 250 waliotoa uvumba walivyoangamizwa kwa moto ulioshuka kutoka mbinguni. Hao watu 250 wanawakilisha mfumo wa dini ya uongo ambao huangamizwa wakati wa kumwagwa kwa mvua ya masika ya mwisho kwenye sheria ya Jumapili. Nchi kufunguka juu ya Kora na wenzake ni tetemeko la nchi la Ufunuo kumi na moja, linaloitambulisha Marekani ikifungua kinywa chake na kusema kama joka. Moto uliposhuka kutoka mbinguni juu ya wale 250, ulifananisha moto wa Eliya katika Mlima Karmeli, wakati manabii hao wa uongo walipouawa. Moto wa Eliya katika Mlima Karmeli unapatana na sheria ya Jumapili, hivyo moto juu ya wale watu 250 ni moto wa sheria ya Jumapili wa mvua ya masika ya mwisho.

Chikamu chiri muna Numeri chinobata nezvokupanduka kwaKora, chakanyatsowirirana muprofita nekupanduka kwakaitirwa shoko reNyika Yakapikirwa, sezvakaratidzwa naJoshua naKalebhi. Kupanduka ikoko kunomirira “zuva rokutsamwisa” reBhaibheri. Chikamu chinotaura nezvekupanduka kwaKora chinoti, “muchaziva kuti varume ava vatsamwisa Jehovha.”

Vakachenjera ndivo vanonzwisisa, uye vakachenjera vanofanira kunzwisisa kuti nhoroondo yokupanduka kwaKora inofanira kuiswa pamusoro pokupanduka kuchipesana neshoko raJoshua pamusoro peNyika Yakapikirwa. Kupanduka ikoko kwakaitika paKadheshi, uye zvose Kadheshi nokupanduka kwaKora ndizvo kupanduka kweSeventh-day Adventism pamutemo weSvondo. Kora navarume mazana maviri namakumi mashanu vakapira zvinonhuhwira vakafananidzira varume makumi maviri navashanu vakanga vachikotamira zuva muna Ezekieri 8. Varume vekare vari muna Ezekieri 8 vanomirira chechina chezvinonyangadza zvina zvinoramba zvichiwedzera, zvinopedzeredzwa muJerusarema, chiratidzo chekereke yaMwari.

Chinhu chokutanga chinonyangadza mufananidzo wegodo, chechipiri makamuri akavanzika, chechitatu kuchema Tamusi; zvino varume makumi maviri navashanu vanokotamira zuva. Ipapo chitsauko chepfumbamwe chinoratidza avo vari kugomera nekuchema pamusoro pezvinonyangadza, zvinomiririrwa muchitsauko chechisere. Avo vanogomera nekuchema vanoiswa chisimbiso nengirozi inokwira ichibva kumabvazuva. Ngirozi mutumwa, uye inomiririra shoko.

Ujumbe wa kutiwa muhuri utokao mashariki ni ujumbe wa upepo wa mashariki, ambao ni ujumbe wa Uislamu. Mara wale laki moja na arobaini na nne elfu wanapotiwa muhuri, malaika waharibuo huanza kazi yao, hasa pale ambapo mstari wa nje wa unabii hufundisha kwamba “uasi wa taifa hufuatiwa na uangamivu wa taifa.” Kabla hukumu haijatekelezwa juu ya wale wanaowakilishwa na Kora, waasi hutolewa nje ya Yerusalemu. Waovu huondolewa kutoka Yerusalemu, kwa maana si wenye haki waikimbiao Yerusalemu.

> Uye Mweya wakandisimudza, ukandiuyisa pasuo rapakumabvazuva reimba yaJehovha, rinotarira kumabvazuva; zvino tarira, pasuo rosuwo pakanga pane varume vane makumi maviri navashanu; pakati pavo ndakaona Jaazania mwanakomana waAzuri, naPeratia mwanakomana waBenaya, machinda avanhu.

> Ipapo akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, ava ndivo varume vanoronga zvakaipa, vachipa zano rakaipa muguta rino; vanoti, ‘Nguva haisati yaswedera; ngativakei dzimba; guta iri ndiro hari, uye isu tiri nyama.’”

> Naizvozvo poritsemura pamusoro pavo, porofita, iwe mwanakomana womunhu. Uye Mweya waJehovha wakawira pamusoro pangu, akati kwandiri, Taura; zvanzi naJehovha;

> Naizvozvo makataura saizvozvo, imi imba yaIsraeri; nokuti ndinoziva zvinhu zvinopinda mumifungo yenyu, chimwe nechimwe chazvo. Maita kuti vakaurayiwa venyu vawande muguta rino, mukazadza migwagwa yaro nevakaurayiwa. Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Vakaurayiwa venyu vamakaisa pakati paro, ndivo nyama, uye guta iri ndiro hari yokubikira; asi ini ndichakubudisai muchibva pakati paro. Makatya munondo; uye ini ndichauyisa munondo pamusoro penyu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha. Uye ndichakubudisai muchibva pakati paro, ndigokuisai mumaoko avatorwa, uye ndichaita kutonga pakati penyu. Muchawa nomunondo; ndichakutongai pamuganhu waIsraeri; uye muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha. Guta iri haringavi hari yenyu yokubikira, uye imi hamungavi nyama pakati paro; asi ndichakutongai pamuganhu waIsraeri. Uye muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha; nokuti hamuna kufamba mumitemo yangu, kana kuita zvatakatonga nazvo, asi makaita maererano netsika dzavahedheni vakakupoteredzai.

> Zvino zvakaitika kuti, pandakaporofita, Peratiya mwanakomana waBenaya akafa. Ipapo ndakawira pasi nechiso changu, ndikadanidzira nenzwi guru, ndikati, Haiwa, Ishe Jehovha! Muchaparadza zvachose vakasara vaIsraeri here? Ezekieri 11:1–13.

IJerusalema ihlambululwa ngesikhathi somthetho weSonto, lapho ukolweni wehlukaniswa namakhula. Amadoda amelwe yilaba abangama-25, noma abangama-250 bakaKora, akhishwa ayiswe ngaphandle, “emngceleni” weJerusalema, ukuze afe. Inani elingu-25 liyinani labapristi ababekhonza isonto elilodwa, futhi lapho lifanekiswa ngenani eliphindwe kayishumi, elingu-250, limelela ibandla lomhlaba wonke, ngoba ishumi liwuphawu lomhlaba wonke. Ibandla elilwayo lichazwa njengebandla elakhiwe ukolweni namakhula, kanti ibandla elinqobayo limelela ibandla eliwukolweni kuphela.

> “Je, Mungu hana kanisa lililo hai? Analo kanisa, lakini ni kanisa linalopigana, si kanisa lililoshinda. Tunasikitika kwamba wamo washiriki wenye kasoro, kwamba yapo magugu katikati ya ngano. Yesu alisema: ‘Ufalme wa mbinguni umefananishwa na mtu aliyepanda mbegu njema katika shamba lake; lakini watu walipokuwa wamelala, adui yake akaja akapanda magugu kati ya ngano, akaenda zake…. Basi watumishi wa mwenye nyumba wakaja wakamwambia, Bwana, je, hukupanda mbegu njema katika shamba lako? basi, yametoka wapi haya magugu? Akawaambia, Adui ndiye aliyetenda hayo. Watumishi wakamwambia, Je, wataka twende tukayakusanye? Lakini akasema, La; msije, mkikusanya magugu, mkaing’oa pamoja nayo na ngano. Viacheni vyote vikue pamoja hata wakati wa mavuno; na wakati wa mavuno nitawaambia wavunaji, Kusanyeni kwanza magugu, myafunge mafungu kwa kuyateketeza; lakini ngano ikusanyeni ghalani mwangu.’”

Nuko bishitse ko nkiri ndiko ndavuga ubuhanuzi, Pelatiya mwene Benaya aca arapfa. Ezekiyeli 11:11–13.

Kufa kwa Pelatia, ambaye jina lake lina maana ya kukombolewa na Mungu, katika muktadha huu kunamaanisha kukabidhiwa mautini, katika wakati uleule ambapo wafanyakazi wa saa ya kumi na moja wanakombolewa kutoka mkononi mwa mfalme wa kaskazini katika aya ya arobaini na moja ya Danieli kumi na moja. Pelatia anakabidhiwa mkononi mwa mfalme wa kaskazini katika sheria ya Jumapili. Pelatia, mwana wa Benaya, maana yake “kile Mungu amekijenga.” Katika wakati uleule ambapo Mungu amejenga tena hekalu, ili kuliinua kama kanisa mshindi katika sheria ya Jumapili, wale wanaowakilishwa na Pelatia wanakabidhiwa mautini, kwa maana badala ya kushiriki katika kazi ya kujenga mahali pa kale palipobomoka, walikuwa wakijijengea kaburi la Tobia. Pelatia anawakilisha mwili wa Isaya kutoka kichwani hadi miguuni, mwili uliosheheni dhambi kabisa. Mwili huo ni kanisa la Waadventista Wasabato wa Laodikia katika hitimisho la vizazi vinne vya uasi unaoendelea, ambao Isaya anaueleza kama uasi unaozidi kuongezeka anaposema, “zidi kuasi zaidi na zaidi.” Katika mchakato wa mwisho wa kupimwa ulioanza mwaka 2024, ngano imekufa kwa siku tatu na nusu, kisha inafufuliwa, na wakati huo watajua kwamba Bwana ndiye Mungu.

Ubupirisita bw’ibinyoma bagereranywa na 25 ku itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru, ni bwo bazamenya ko Uwiteka ari Imana.

Ujumbe wa Yoeli ni wimbo wa shamba la mizabibu, lakini jambo la kwanza linaloulizwa ndani yake ni kama watu wanaweza kutambua siku za mwisho kwa kuzilinganisha na siku za kwanza. “Wazee” katika Yoeli hawakuweza kufanya hivyo, kwa maana wakati mwito wa kuamka unapowadia usiku wa manane, wanakatiliwa mbali—wanatapikwa kutoka katika kinywa cha Bwana, mahali pale pale ambapo mnyama wa dunia hufungua kinywa chake kusema, ndipo pia punda wa Balaamu alinena, na ndipo baba yake Yohana Mbatizaji alinena.

Yoeli ananena na wale wazee wa zamani wanaolisujudia jua katika Ezekieli sura ya nane, na ambao ndio wa kwanza kuhukumiwa katika sura ya tisa.
