Ezekiel isahluko sesishiyagalombili sibeka obala amanyala amane andayo ngokwanda, amele izizukulwane ezine ze-Adventism yaseLawodikea. Ukuvukela kwango-1863 kwaveza umgunyathi wezibhebhe ezimbili zikaHabakuki, njengoba nje u-Aroni wayeveze isithombe somona esingumgunyathi, ngethole lakhe legolide, ngaso kanye isikhathi uNkulunkulu ayenikela ngaso kuMose izibhebhe ezimbili zeMiyalo Eyishumi. Lapho i-Adventism yaseLawodikea isiqale umsebenzi wokususa amaqiniso ayisisekelo, njengoba emelwe ephusheni likaWilliam Miller, ubuholi besizukulwane sokuqala baqala ukwenqaba igunya leBhayibheli, bese kuthi kamuva benqabe noMoya Wesiprofetho. Ukuvukela kwase kukhule kwafinyelela ezingeni lapho umoya kaKellogg (i-pantheism) wangena emlandweni wabo ngaphambi nje kuka-1888.

Pakupanduka kwa 1888, zvekunamata mweya kwakafananidzirwa nedzimba dzemifananidzo dzaEzekieri kwakasvika pachinhanho apo vatumwa veMinneapolis, nemuporofitakadzi, uye kunyange Mweya Mutsvene, vakarambwa.

> “Takazviona muruzivo rwedu kuti kana Ishe vatumira mwaranzi yechiedza ichibva pamukova wakazaruka wesanctuary ichienda kuvanhu Vavo, Satani anomutsa pfungwa dzevazhinji. Asi kuguma hakusati kwasvika. Kuchava navaya vacharamba chiedza uye vachadzvinyirira avo vakaitwa naMwari migero Yake yokuzivisa chiedza. Zvinhu zvomweya hazvinzwisiswi nomweya. Varindi havana kufambirana nokuratidzwa kuri kuvhurika kwekupa kwaMwari, uye shoko rechokwadi rakabva kudenga pamwe navatumwa varo vanozvidzwa.

> “Pachava navarume vachibva pamusangano uyu varume vanozviti vanoziva chokwadi, asi vari kuunganidzira pamweya yavo nguo dzisina kurukwa pachirukwa chokudenga. Mweya wavakagamuchira pano vachaenda nawo. Ndinodedera nokuda kweramangwana rebasa redu. Avo vasingabvumi pano humbowo hwapihwa naMwari vacharwa nehama dzavo dziri kushandiswa naMwari. Vachaita kuti zvive zvakaoma kwazvo, kana mikana yauya kwavanogona kuenderera mberi vachisundira mberi rudzi rumwe cheterwo rwehondo yavagara vachiita kusvikira zvino. Varume ava vachawana mikana yokugutsikana kuti vanga vachirwa noMweya Mutsvene waMwari. Vamwe vachagutsikana; vamwe vachabatisisa zvakasimba mweya wavo pachavo. Havazofiri kuzviyo, kuti Ishe Jesu apinde mumwoyo yavo. Vachanyengedzwa zvikuru, uye vacharamba vachinyengedzwa zvikuru-kuru, kusvikira vasisagoni kusiyanisa chokwadi nokururama. Vari pasi pomumwe mweya, vachaedza kuisa pabasa chimiro chisingazobvumirwi naMwari; uye vachaedza kuratidza hunhu hwaSatani mukutora masimba pamusoro pendangariro dzavanhu, nokudaro vachidzora basa nechikonzero chaMwari.”

> “Dai hama dzedu dzakatsanya nokunyengetera uye dzikazvininipisa mumwoyo yadzo pamberi paMwari pamusangano uyu, uye dzikagara pasi dzakadzikama kuti dziongorore Magwaro pamwe chete, ipapo Mwari angadai akudzwa. Asi mweya werusaruro wakaunzwa pamusangano iwoyo wakavhara musuwo wechikomborero chikuru-kuru chaMwari, uye avo vakanga vane mweya uyu havazovi panzvimbo yakanaka yokuti vaone chiedza kusvikira vapfidza pamberi paMwari uye vava nokunzwa kwakati kwokuti vakaswedera pedyo sei nokuzvidza Mweya Mutsvene uye nokunge vane mumwe mweya.” The 1888 Materials, 832.

Pambuyo pa pa 1888, Mlongo White “anagwedezeka chifukwa cha tsogolo la” mpingo ndi ntchito ya Mulungu. Iye anaona kuti msonkhanowo udzabala nkhondo yauzimu yopitiriza pakati pa amuna amene anali atsogoleri a Adventist a Laodikaya, ndipo mkangano wa “the daily,” ndi umboni wakuti maulosi ake anakwaniritsidwa pa m’badwo womwewo. Pa nthawiyo nkhondo inachitidwa ndi amuna amene sanatero “yield to the evidence God had given” kuti atsimikizire “heaven sent message and messengers,” ndipo amuna amenewo anamenyana ndi “Mzimu Woyera wa Mulungu.” M’badwo wachiwiri unayang’ana pamene nyumba yosindikizira ndi sanitariamu zinawotchedwa pansi ndi moto wa chiweruzo cha Mulungu.

> “Namhla ekuseni ngihogeleke emthandazweni oqotho wokuba iNkosi ihole bonke abaxhumene nehhovisi le-Review and Herald ukuba baphenyisise ngenkuthalo, ukuze babone lapho bengahoyanga khona imiyalezo eminingi uNkulunkulu ayinikezile.

> “කාලයකට පෙර Review කාර්යාලයේ සහෝදරයෝ තවත් ගොඩනැගිල්ලක් ඉදිකිරීම පිළිබඳව මාගේ උපදෙස් ඉල්ලා සිටියහ. එවිට මම කියා සිටියේ, Review and Herald කාර්යාලයට තවත් ගොඩනැගිල්ලක් එක් කිරීමට පක්ෂව සිටි අය ඉදිරිය සිතියම්ගතව තමන් ඉදිරියේ ඇතිව, Battle Creek හි කුමක් සිදුවන්නේදැයි ඔවුන්ට දැකගත හැකි වූයේ නම්, එහි තවත් ගොඩනැගිල්ලක් නැංවීම ගැන ඔවුන්ට කිසි සැකයක් නොසිටින බවය. දෙවියන්වහන්සේ මෙසේ පැවසූ සේක: ‘මාගේ වචනය අවමන් කරන ලද්දේ ය; එබැවින් මම හැරී එය පෙරළා දමන්නෙමි, නැවතත් පෙරළා දමන්නෙමි.’”

Pfungwa dzakabatwa nemhosva, uye mwoyo yakagunzvwa; asi basa rakanyatsokwana harina kuitwa. Dai mwoyo yakaoma yakanga yakaputsika mukutendeuka pamberi paMwari panguva iyoyo, kwaizoonekwa chimwe chezviratidzo zvikurusa zvesimba raMwari zvakamboonekwa. Asi Mwari havana kukudzwa.

Vanhu havana kuzvitsaura pamaitiro akanga achipikisana pachena nemisimboti yechokwadi nokururama, iyo inofanira kuramba ichichengetwa nguva dzose mubasa raIshe.

> “Mashoko akananga kereke yeEfeso neakananga kereke yeSadhisi akadzokororwa kazhinji kwandiri naIye anondipa kurairwa nokuda kwavanhu Vake. ‘Kumutumwa wekereke yeEfeso nyora; Izvi ndizvo zvinotaura Iye akabata nyeredzi nomwe muruoko rwake rworudyi, anofamba pakati pezvigadziko zvemwenje zvegoridhe zvinomwe; Ndinoziva mabasa ako, nokushingaira kwako, nokutsungirira kwako, uye kuti haugoni kutsungirira vakaipa; uye wakaedza avo vanoti ivo vaapostora, asi vasiri ivo, ukavawana vari varevi venhema; uye wakatsungirira, uye une moyo murefu, uye nokuda kweZita Rangu wakashanda nesimba, uye hauna kupera simba.

> “Kwabvunzwa kana ndine zano ripi neripi randingapa. Ndakatotopa zano randakapiwa naMwari, ndichitarisira kudzivisa kuwira kwemunondo unopfuta wakanga wakarembera pamusoro peBattle Creek.

Chiedza chakapiwa chakanga chakaringana. Dai chakateererwa, chimwezve chiedza chaisazodiwa.” Testimonies, vhoriyamu 8, 97–99.

Chizvarwa chechipiri cheAdventism hachina kuva kukunda, uye mukuzadziswa kwaEzekieri chitsauko 8, kupanduka kwakangoramba kuchiwedzera.

> “Bwana, kwa njia ya ujumbe ulioandikwa na kwa moto, ametangaza kwamba anataka watu wake watoke Battle Creek. Mungu atusaidie kuisikia sauti yake. Je, haimaanishi kitu kwetu kwamba taasisi zetu mbili kuu katika Battle Creek zilifagiliwa mbali kwa moto? Mnaweza kusema, ‘Lakini Sanitarium mpya ina wagonjwa wengi.’ Naam; lakini hata kama kungekuwa na maelfu mengi ya wagonjwa huko, hilo lisingekuwa hoja ya kuunga mkono watu wetu kujenga makazi katika Battle Creek, na kukaa huko.

> “Miedzo iri kuwedzera. Vanhu vari kuramba chiedza chakatumirwa naMwari muTestimonies dzoMweya wake, uye vari kusarudza zvavakazvigadzirira ivo pachavo nezvirongwa zvavo pachavo. Ko vanhu vacharamba vachizvitsaura kuna Mwari here? Anofanira here kuratidza kusafara kwake nenzira inotonyanya kuoneka kupfuura yaakatotoita?” Pamphlets, SpTB06, 45.

Vanhu vakanga “vachisarudza zvokufunga kwavo pachavo nezvirongwa zvavo pachavo,” sezvakaratidzwa navakuru makumi manomwe mumakamuri emifananidzo aEzekieri chitsauko 8, avo vakati, “Jehovha haationi.” Ishe vakasimudza muporofitakadzi uye vakamupa “zviratidzo zvakazaruka” kwemakore makumi mana chaiwo, kusvikira muna 1884. Vakaisa chisimbiso chavo pachipo ichi, nokuti vakachipa uye vakachigumisa muguta rainzi Portland, uye vakachipa kwemakore makumi mana. Nguva pfupi “zviratidzo zvakazaruka” zvisati zvaguma, varume vekare vakatanga kuderedza simba reBhaibheri neMweya weChiporofita muna 1881 na1882. “Zviratidzo zvakazaruka” izvi zvakazoguma muna 1884, uye mukati memakore mana kupandukira kwaKora, Dhatani naAbhiramu kwakadzokororwa paGeneral Conference ya1888.

Uasi wa mwaka 1888 ulizalisha ongezeko la uasi lililosababisha Mungu kuingilia moja kwa moja katika historia ya Uadventista wa Laodikia alipoteketeza kazi ya uchapishaji na kazi ya afya. Hata hivyo, hukumu hizo za moja kwa moja hazikuzuia uasi uliokuwa ukiendelea. Mwaka 1919, Mkutano wa Biblia ulifanyika, ambapo mmoja wa waasi wakuu wa kizazi cha pili, William Warren Prescott, mwanatheolojia aliyefundishwa katika vyuo vikuu vya Uprotestanti ulioasi, alikuwa kiongozi mkuu katika kusukuma mtazamo wa kishetani uliodai kwamba “the daily,” uliwakilisha kazi ya Kristo ya patakatifu, akatoa mfululizo wa mada.

Nhoroondo inoratidza kuti pamusangano uya weBhaibheri wa1919, Prescott akapa evhangeri yakanga yakavakirwa pakubvisa dzidziso imwe neimwe yemharidzo yechiporofita yavaMillerite. Akatoedza kubvisa mazuva zviuru zviviri nemazana matatu, asi haana kukwanisa kuita izvozvo. Zvisinei, akapa evhangeri yakanga isina zvachose kunzwisisa kwechiporofita kwavaMillerite. Evhangeri yake yakarambwa pamusangano wacho, asi kunyange zvakadaro vatungamiri vaya mapofu vakasarudza kutora nhevedzano yemharidzo dzake ndokuidzika kuva bhuku rainzi, The Doctrine of Christ. Bhuku iroro rakava chiratidzo chekuuya kwechizvarwa chechitatu cheAdventism yeRaodhikia.

Ibhuku limela elinye ivangeli kunelivangeli lamaMillerite lalesembulelweni sikaHabakhuki isahluko sesibili, kantsi uPhawuli uyasazisa ukuthi elinye ivangeli kalisilo ivangeli lakanye.

> Ndinokatyamara kuti muri kukurumidza kwazvo kutsauka kubva kuna iye akakudanai munyasha dzaKristu muchienda kune rimwe vhangeri; iro risati riri rimwe; asi varipo vamwe vanokutambudzai, vachida kukanganisa vhangeri raKristu. Asi kunyange isu, kana mutumwa unobva kudenga, akakuparidzirai rimwe vhangeri risiri iro ratakakuparidzirai, ngaatukwe. Sezvatakambotaura, saizvozvo ndinotaurazve zvino, kuti kana ani naani akakuparidzirai rimwe vhangeri risiri iro ramakagamuchira, ngaatukwe. VaGaratia 1:6–9.

Chizvarwa chechitatu cheAdventism chinomiririrwa nechinonyangadza chechitatu chaEzekieri apo vakadzi vari kuchema Tamuzi. Tamuzi akanga ari mwari weMesopotamia aiwanzobatanidzwa nokubereka uye nemitenderero yezvinomera. Dzimwe nguva Tamuzi airatidzwa somufudzi kana somurume wechidiki, achibatanidzwa nekushanduka kwenguva dzegore uye nekukura kwezvirimwa. Rufu rwaTamuzi, pamwe chete nokumuka kwake kwakatevera, rwakanga rwakasungirirwa kukarenda yezvekurima. Maererano nengano yacho, Tamuzi aifa kana kunyangarika mukati memwedzi yezhizha, izvo zvaionekwa sechiratidzo chokuoma kwezvinomera mumwaka unopisa nowakaoma. Kuchema Tamuzi kwaiva muitiro wokuchema waiitirwa kuungudza rufu kana kunyangarika kwaTamuzi mumwedzi yezhizha, kuchiteverwa nokufara pakumuka kwake, izvo zvaimiririra kuvandudzwa kwezvinomera noupenyu hwezvekurima.

Kuchemera Tamuzi kunamirira mashoko enhema emvura yokupedzisira, izvo ndizvo zvakanga zvichimiririrwa neevhangeri yaW. W. Prescott. Kubviswa kwenheyo yechiporofita, kwakavamba mukupandukira kwa1863, kwakasvika pamwero muna 1919 wokuti Adventism yeRaodhikia yakabvumira kuti evhangeri yenhema isimbaradzwe. Evhangeri iyoyo yenhema yakanga yakavakirwa zvizere pamusoro pemaitiro echiPurotesitendi chakatsauka. Muvaki wayo wokutanga akanga ari W. W. Prescott, uye sezvakanga zvakaita kuna William Miller, evhangeri dzevarume vose vari vaviri dzakanga dzakavakirwa pamusoro pokunzwisisa kwavo kwekutanga kwe“zuva nezuva,” mubhuku raDhanieri. Evhangeri dzose dziri mbiri dzinomiririrwa muchitsauko cha2 VaTesaronika umo Miller akatanga kuwana kuti “zuva nezuva,” kwaimiririra upagani. Muchitsauko imomo mune boka rinomiririrwa naMiller, rinogamuchira chokwadi chakaiswa pamberi naPauro, uye rimwe boka risingana rudo rwechokwadi.

Darasa moja katika siku za mwisho, linalowakilishwa na Miller, “hutambua” na kupokea mvua ya masika; na darasa jingine, linalowakilishwa na Prescott, hupokea upotovu mkuu. Upotovu mkuu wanaoupokea umejengwa juu ya injili ya uongo, ambayo si injili hata kidogo, nayo hutambulisha ujumbe wa uongo wa mvua ya masika. Hivyo, chukizo la tatu la Ezekieli ni wanawake (makanisa ya Uadventista wa Laodikia), wakimlilia Tamuzi. Machozi yao ya wakati wa kiangazi (mvua) yanapaswa kuzaa matunda ya mavuno.

Kusiyana kuri hagati y’ubwoko bubiri bw’ubutumwa bw’imvura y’itumba gucengera Bibiliya n’Impwemu y’Ubuhanuzi. Bibiliya isubiramo kenshi igaragaza ko imvura ihagarikwa ku bwoko butumvira.

> Vanoti, Kana murume akaramba mukadzi wake, akabva kwaari, akazova womumwe murume, angadzokerazve kwaari here? Nyika iyo haingatongosvibiswi zvikuru here? Asi iwe wakaita zvouhure navadikamwi vazhinji; kunyange zvakadaro, dzokerazve kwandiri, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Simudza meso ako kumatunhu akakwirira, uone pawakarega kuvata navanhu. Panzira wakavagarisira, somuArabhiya murenje; ukasvibisa nyika nouhure hwako uye nouipi hwako. Naizvozvo mvura dzokunaya dzakadziviswa, uye hakuna kuva nemvura yokupedzisira; asi wakanga une huma yechifeve, ukaramba kunyara. Jeremia 3:1–3.
