Zvishongo zvehope dzaWilliam Miller zvichapenya kakapetwa kagumi kupfuura zvazvakapenya munhoroondo yavaMillerite. Kunzwisisa kwevaMillerite pamusoro peruzivo rwakawedzerwa munguva yenhoroondo yavo kwakanga kwakarurama, asi kusina kukwana. Kana kunzwisisa kwavo kwaiswa munzvimbo yenhoroondo yakanyatsojeka, kunoratidza zvazvinoreva zvakakomba zvikuru, nokuti hakungowedzeri chete chokwadi chechiporofita chinomiririrwa nezvishongo izvozvo, asiwo kunoburitsa muyedzo wemhandara gumi wamazuva okupedzisira. Kunzwisisa kwevaMillerite kunomiririrwa pamachati maviri evapayona (1843 na1850). Machati ose ari maviri akanga ari kuzadzikiswa kwamatafura akaporofitwa muchitsauko chechipiri chaHabhakuki, uye chokwadi chokuti machati acho akanga ari kuzadzikiswa kwaHabhakuki, uyewo kuti izvozvo zvokwadi chaizvo ndizvo zvakanga zviri zvokwadi dzepasi dzakavambwa paAdventism, zvakaratidzwa saizvozvo neMweya weChiporofita.

Kumvetsetsa kwa zina mwa zowonadi zoyambirira kunawonjezedwa mu ulemerero pamene a Millerite anatsogoleredwa kulowa m’kumvetsetsa kwa malo opatulika akumwamba ndi zowonadi zogwirizana ndi malo opatulika amenewo, pambuyo pa kukhumudwitsidwa kwakukulu kwa pa 22 October, 1844. Koma kusintha kwa Adventism kulowa mu chikhalidwe cha Laodikaya mu 1856, ndi kukana kwawo kotsiriza kwa “nthawi zisanu ndi ziwiri” mu 1863, kunawatsogolera kulowa m’chipululu cha Laodikaya. Palibe chowonadi chofunika kwambiri chimene chinatulutsidwa kudzera mu Adventism kuyambira m’ma 1850. Ngati mukukaikira mawu amenewo, sonyezani chifukwa chake ali olakwika.

Millerite-va vaive vakarurama pakunzwisisa kwaDhanieri chitsauko 2, asi kunzwisisa kwavo kwakanga kwakaganhurirwa. Adventism haina kumbopfuurira mberi kupfuura kunzwisisa kweMillerite. Nhasi uno umambo hwose husere hunomiririrwa muna Dhanieri chitsauko 2 hunogona kuonekwa, sezvinogonawo kuonekwa chiratidzo chaDhanieri achinyengetera kuti anzwisise chakavanzika chehope dzaNebhukadhinezari. Chakavanzika ichocho chinomiririra chakavanzika chokupedzisira chouporofita, (vaporofita vose vari kuratidza mazuva okupedzisira), uye chakavanzika chokupedzisira chouporofita ndicho chinonzi naJohani Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu. Chakavanzika ichocho chinosunungurwa chisimbiso kana “nguva yava pedyo,” nguva yokuvharwa kwemukana wokuyedzwa isati yasvika, uye chakavanzika ichocho chava kusunungurwa chisimbiso zvino, kune avo vanosarudza kuona.

Kuzwisisa kwa Wamillerite kuhusu “cha misi yose” mu buku la Daniele kwazindikirika na msindzo kuti nkhwakulungama, kweni pofika mu 1901, Chiadventisti chayamba njira yakukana unenesko wakwamba uwu wa pa maziko, ndipo pofika mu ma 1930’s Chiadventisti chikawereraso ku kaonero kakale ka Chiprotestanti, kakene kakuti “cha misi yose” chikwimira mbali yinyake ya uteŵeti wa Khristu mu malo ghakupatulika. Kaonero ako ka Satana, Mzimu wa Ulosi ukuti, kakafuma kwa “ŵangelo awo ŵakachimbizgika kuchanya.” Muhanya uno kaonero kakulondola ka Wamillerite ka “cha misi yose,” kakuwoneka kuti nkhasoŵe yayi waka chisimbo cha upagani, kweni chomenechomene chisimbo cha kupanduka kwa Chiadventisti, uko kukwiza kupuluskika kwakofya pa awo ŵakutemwa yayi unenesko.

VaMilleri vakatungamirirwa kuzuva chairo rokupera kwemakore zviuru zviviri nezana zvitatu, uye chiAdventism pakarepo mushure meKusuwa Kukuru chakaziva chiedza chakawedzerwa chakanga chakabatana nechiporofita ichocho; asi nokuramba kwavo “nguva nomwe,” kubva muna 1856 kusvikira muna 1863, uye kunyange kusvikira nanhasi chaiyo, havana kuona chiedza chinopfuurira mberi kubva padzidziso yavanoti ndiyo mbiru yavo huru nenheyo. Nhasi “nguva nomwe” dzinogona kuonekwa, (navo vanoda kuona), sedzakabatana zvakananga nenguva imwe neimwe yechiporofita chemakore zviuru zviviri nezana zvitatu.

Makore makumi mana nepfumbamwe okutanga anomirira kutenderera kwokuti nyika izorore mugore rechinomwe rimwe nerimwe, kunodzokororwa kanomwe. Makore mazana mana namakumi mapfumbamwe haangomiriri nguva yokuedzwa kweIsraeri yekare bedzi, asiwo anoratidza kuti kwaizopfuura makore mangani okupandukira murayiro wokubvumira nyika kuti izorore, kuti kuunganidzwe hwerengedzo hwamakore makumi manomwe ayo nyika yakadzivirirwa kuzorora (iyo iri nguva yokutapwa nokuda kwokupandukira ikoko chaiko). Vhiki rakasimbiswa naKristu sesungano rakarongwa nemakore matatu nehafu kusvika pamuchinjikwa, nemakore matatu nehafu mushure memuchinjikwa. Muvhiki iroro Kristu akanga achiunganidza vanhu vose, nokuti akati, kana akakwidzwa kumusoro, achaunganidza vanhu vose.

> Zvino ndiko kutongwa kwenyika ino; zvino muchinda wenyika ino achadzingirwa kunze. Uye ini, kana ndasimudzwa kubva panyika, ndichakwevera vanhu vose kwandiri. Johani 12:31, 32.

Mazuva zviuru zviviri namazana mashanu namakumi maviri umo Kristu akasimbisa sungano uye akaunganidzira vanhu kwaAri, anomiririra makore zviuru zviviri namazana mashanu namakumi maviri ayo Mwari akaparadzira nawo vanhu Vake vaimupandukira, nokuda kwegakava resungano Yake. “Nguva nomwe” dzakaitirwa ushe hwokumusoro hwaIsraeri, dzinomiririra kuparadzirwa kwamakore zviuru zviviri namazana mashanu namakumi maviri kwakavamba muna 723 BC ndokuguma muna 1798. Gore ra538 rinopatsanura nguva mbiri idzi uye rinoumba nguva mbiri dzinotevedzana dzemakore ane chiuru nemazana maviri namakumi matanhatu. Nguva yokutanga ichimiririra kutsikwa-tsikwa kwenzvimbo tsvene neuto nechipegani, uye yechipiri kutsikwa-tsikwa kwakaitwa nechihupapa.

“nguva nomwe,” dzemakore zviuru zviviri namazana mashanu namakumi maviri dzakatarisana noumambo hwokumaodzanyemba, dzakatanga muna 677 BC, dzikaguma muna 1844, uye dzakapera pana Gumiguru 22, 1844. Icho chiratidzo chokutukwa kwesungano, uye chakapedziswa nokuridzwa kwehwamanda yejubheri yaifanira kuridzwa paZuva reYananiso. Zuva reYananiso rechimiro chaicho rakatanga pana Gumiguru 22, 1844 rinomirira nguva yakati. Ndiyo nguva yoKutongwa Kwekuferefeta, uye mukati menguva iyoyo hwamanda yejubheri yakabatana nedenderedzwa dzvene renomwe yaifanira kuridzwa.

> Lakini katika siku za sauti ya malaika wa saba, atakapoanza kupiga tarumbeta, siri ya Mungu itakamilika, kama alivyowatangazia watumishi wake manabii. Ufunuo 10:7.

Kuvhunduka kweLipenga rechinomwe, kwakatanga musi wa22 Gumiguru 1844, kunomirira Lipenga reJubheri rechikamu chitsvene chezvinomwe, sezvakaratidzwa muna Revhitiko makumi maviri neshanu. VaMillerite vakazopedzisira varurama pakutara nguva kwechiporofita chemakore zviuru zviviri nemazana matatu, uye Adventism yakazosvika pakunzwisisa zvimwe zvacho nguva pfupi mushure meKusuwa Kukuru, asi “dombo rinokosha” raMiller renguva yemakore zviuru zviviri nemazana matatu rava kupenya nhasi kakapetwa kagumi kupfuura pakutanga. Hunhu hwose hwechiporofita hwezvikamu zvinomwe zvinomiririrwa mukati menguva yemakore zviuru zviviri nemazana matatu, hune kubatana kwakananga kwechiporofita nemakore zviuru zviviri nemazana mashanu nemakumi maviri (“nguva nomwe”), eRevhitiko zvitsauko makumi maviri neshanu nemakumi maviri nenhanhatu.

VaMillerite vakaramba zvairehwa nechiPurotesitendi chakatsauka nechiKaturike kuti “vabvuti vavanhu vako,” avo “vakazvikudza,” uye “vakawa,” vaiva chiratidzo chaAntiochus Epiphanes, uye vakanga vakarurama. Vaiziva uye vakadzivirira chokwadi chokuti ndiro Roma, muShoko rouporofita rwaMwari, rinomiririrwa se“vabvuti vavanhu vako vakasimbisa chiratidzo,” kwete mumwe mambo weSiria asingazivikanwi uye asina kukosha munhoroondo anonzi ndiye akasimbisa chiratidzo.

Nhasi vadzidzisi vezvehumwari veAdventist vanodzidzisa kuti “makororo avanhu vako” ndiAntiochus Epiphanes. Nhasi, nharo iyo munhoroondo yeMillerite yakaratidza kuti vanhu vechibvumirano chekutanga vakanga vachidarikwa havana, uye vaisagona, kunzwisisa chiratidzo (izvo zvinotsinhirwa nekunzwisisa kwakarurama kwe“makororo avanhu vako”), yava kudzokororwa zvakare nevanhu vechibvumirano chekutanga vari zvakare kuchidarikwa.

> Pakusina chiratidzo, vanhu vanoparara; asi anochengeta murayiro, akaropafadzwa iye. Zvirevo 29:18.

VaMillerite vakadzidzisa nenzira yakarurama kuti makore zviuru zviviri nemazana mashanu nemakumi maviri (“nguva nomwe”), eRevhitiko 26, akanga ari uprofita hwenguva hwakareba zvikuru uye hwekupedzisira muBhaibheri; asi Adventism yeRaodhikia yakaramba “chishongo” ichocho muna 1863, uye nhasi zvinoonekwa, (navaya vanoda kuona), kuti havasi VaMillerite chete vakanga vakarurama pakuzivisa “nguva nomwe” seuprofita hwenguva hwakareba zvikuru muBhaibheri, asiwo kuti “kutukwa,” uko kuri kutsamwa kwaMwari, kwakaitwa pamusoro poushe hwokumusoro noushe hwokumaodzanyemba hwaIsraeri zvose.

Nhasi zvinogona kuonekwa kuti mhedziso dzakasiyana dzekutsamwa kuviri uko bhuku raDanieri rinotaura nezvako (sezvinoitawo vamwe vaporofita), dziri semagumo maviri—ekutanga neekupedzisira—enguva yemakore makumi mana nenhanhatu, apo Kristu akamisa temberi yeMillerite, sezvakaratidzirwa nemazuva makumi mana nenhanhatu akapedzwa naMozisi ari pagomo achigamuchira mirayiridzo yokuvaka tabhenakeri yerenje; uye nemakore makumi mana nenhanhatu okuvandudzwa kwetemberi kwakaitwa naHerodhi uko vaFarisi vakataura nezvako muhurukuro yavo naKristu pamusoro pokuti Iye “aizomutsa” sei, kubudikidza nokucheneswa kwetemberi yakanga “yaparadzwa” nevatengesi navashanduri vemari, uyezve nokumuka kwetemberi Yake yomunhu yakasikwa nemakromozomu makumi mana nenhanhatu. Nhasi, zvokwadi dzepasi dzose dzeMillerite dzakarurama sezvadzakanga dzakamboita, asi zvino dzadzama zvakapetwa kagumi.

Nhasi zvinogona kuonekwa (navo vanoda kuona), kuti apo Kristu akazvizivisa saPalmoni (Muverengi Anoshamisa, kana kuti Muverengi Wezvakavanzika) mundima yegumi netatu, muchitsauko chechisere chaDanieri, akanga achiratidza kubatana pakati pechiratidzo chaimiririra nguva yemakore zviuru zviviri namazana matatu nechimwewo chiratidzo chaimiririra makore zviuru zviviri namazana mashanu nemakumi maviri. Kana ukama hwenguva mbiri idzi dzechiporofita hwacherechedzwa, zvinogona kuonekwa kuti dzakabatana zvakananga nemakore chiuru chimwe namazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu okutonga kwoupapa, ayowo akabatanawo nemakore chiuru chimwe namazana maviri nemakumi mapfumbamwe aDanieri gumi nembiri uyewo nemakore chiuru chimwe namazana matatu nemakumi matatu namashanu endima imwe cheteyo.

Pane kubatana kwakawanda kunonanga kwenguva dzouprofita kwakabatana nezviratidzo zviviri zvemundima gumi nenhatu negumi neina dzaDanieri 8, asi kunongozivikanwa navaya vanoda kuona. Asi nhasi, kupfuura kubatana kwenguva dzose dzose dzinounzwa pamwe chete nezviratidzo zviviri izvi, pane kuzarurwa kwezita raPalmoni (Mushamisi Wokuverenga, kana Muverengi Wezvakavanzika). VaMillerite vakanga vakarurama pamusoro pemavhesi maviri aya, asi vaiva vakaganhurirwa, uye nhasi Adventism iri murima rakazara chose chose.

> Zviregererei, mushamisike; danidzai, muchidanidzira: vakadhakwa, asi kwete newaini; vanodzedzereka, asi kwete nechidhakwa. Nokuti Jehovha akadurura pamusoro penyu mweya wehope huru, akafukidza meso enyu; vaporofita navatongi venyu, vaoni, akavafukidza. Uye chiratidzo chezvose chava kwamuri samashoko ebhuku rakaiswa chisimbiso, ravanopa kuna iye akadzidza, vachiti, Verenga izvi, ndinokumbira; iye ndokuti, Handigoni; nokuti chakaiswa chisimbiso. Uye bhuku rinopiwa kuna iye asina kudzidza, vachiti, Verenga izvi, ndinokumbira; iye ndokuti, Handina kudzidza. Isaya 29:9–12.

Hanzvadzi White vanoratidza kuti William Miller akapiwa “chiedza chikuru” pamusoro pebhuku raZvakazarurwa, asi kunzwisisa kwake kwezvitsauko gumi nezviviri, gumi nezvitatu, gumi nezvinomwe, negumi nezvisere zveZvakazarurwa kwakanga, muchidimbu, kusiri kwechokwadi. Kunzwisisa ikoko kusiri kwechokwadi hakumiririrwi pamachati matsvene maviri aya, asi chinomiririrwa kubva mubhuku raZvakazarurwa, chitsauko chepfumbamwe, ndiro “dombo rinokosha” rokuti ChiIslam chinomiririrwa neMatambudziko matatu.

> “Varidzi navanhu vakatarisa bhuku raZvakazarurwa sechinhu chine zvakavanzika uye chisina kukosha zvakanyanya sezvimwe zvikamu zveMagwaro Matsvene. Asi ndakaona kuti bhuku iri, zvirokwazvo, chizaruro chakapiwa kuti chibatsire zvikuru avo vaifanira kurarama mumazuva okupedzisira, kuti chivatungamirire pakuziva nzvimbo yavo yechokwadi nebasa ravo. Mwari akatungamirira pfungwa dzaWilliam Miller kuzviporofita uye akamupa chiedza chikuru pamusoro pebhuku raZvakazarurwa.” Early Writings, 231.

Mashoko anoti “chiedza chikuru” muzvinyorwa zvaSista White ane ruzivo rukuru zvikuru. Miller ainzwisisa machechi, zvisimbiso, nemabhosvo eZvakazarurwa, nokuti vatumwa vatsvene “vakatungamirira pfungwa dzake” pamusoro pezvidzidzo izvi. “Chiedza chikuru” chakapiwa kuna Miller chakamiririrwa pamahwendefa matsvene maviri, uye zvokwadi dzedzidziso dzaive “chiedza chikuru” dzakaratidzwa muhope dzake se“zvishongo”. Adventism yakapiwa “chiedza chikuru” ichocho, ikatanga kuchifukidza nezvishongo zvekunyepedzera kutanga muna 1863. Nheyo ye“chiedza” ndeyokuti “chiedza” ndicho chinoshandiswa naKristu kutonga munhu kana vanhu.

“Nuru” siyo tu ndiyo inayowahukumu watu, bali pia ile “nuru” ambayo wangeweza kuwa nayo kama wasingeipinga (kama walivyofanya mwaka 1856, ukiwa mfano mmoja tu miongoni mwa mingi). Sifa nyingine inayohusishwa na “nuru” ni kwamba “nuru” inayokataliwa huzaa kiwango kinacholingana cha giza. Uadventista ulikataa na kufunika “nuru kuu” aliyopewa Miller na Mungu, ambayo inawakilisha misingi ya Uadventista.

ILawodikea, eyaba yi-Adventism ngo-1856, imelela labo ababekade benikwe “ukukhanya okukhulu,” kodwa abamiselwe ukwamukela “inkohliso enamandla” yaseThesalonika yesiBili, ngesikhathi sonke bekholwa ukuthi isisekelo samanga abasimisile ngokwethula izinhlamvu zemali zomgunyathi namagugu omgunyathi simiswe nguNkulunkulu, kanti empeleni siyisisekelo esakhiwe phezu kwesihlabathi.

> “Kristo alipokuja ulimwenguni kudhihirisha dini ya kweli, na kuinua kanuni zinazopaswa kutawala mioyo na matendo ya wanadamu, uongo ulikuwa umejikita sana miongoni mwa wale waliokuwa wamepata nuru kubwa kiasi kwamba hawakuielewa tena nuru hiyo, wala hawakuwa na mwelekeo wa kuacha mapokeo yao kwa ajili ya kweli. Walimkataa Mwalimu wa mbinguni, wakamsulibisha Bwana wa utukufu, ili wapate kudumisha desturi zao wenyewe na mambo waliyobuni. Roho iyo hiyo hasa inadhihirika ulimwenguni leo. Wanadamu hawapendi kuichunguza kweli, wasije mapokeo yao yakavurugwa na utaratibu mpya wa mambo ukaanzishwa. Katika ubinadamu mna uwezekano wa kudumu wa kukosea, na kwa asili wanadamu huelekea kuyatukuza sana mawazo na maarifa ya kibinadamu, ilhali yaliyo ya Kiungu na ya milele hayatambuliwi wala kuthaminiwa.” Counsels on Sabbath School Work, 47.
