යුනයිටඩ් ස්ටේට්ස් බයිබලයේ විශේෂයෙන් හඳුන්වා දී ඇත. ලෝක අවසානයේදී යුනයිටඩ් ස්ටේට්ස් විශේෂයෙන් හඳුන්වා දෙන බයිබල් ඡේද කිහිපයක් ඇත. එළිදරව් පොතේ දහතුන්වන පරිච්ඡේදයේ, යුනයිටඩ් ස්ටේට්ස් යනු දෙවන, එනම් පොළොවෙන් නැඟී එන අඟ දෙකක් ඇති මෘගයාය; එය මෘගයාගේ ලකුණ ඇති අය නොවන්නේ නම්, මුළු ලෝකයටම මිලදී ගැනීම හෝ විකිණීම තහනම් කරයි.

> Ipapo ndakaona chimwe chikara chichibuda munyika; uye chakanga chine nyanga mbiri segwayana, asi chaitaura seshato. Uye chinoshandisa pamberi paro simba rose rechikara chokutanga, uye chinoita kuti nyika navanogara mairi vanamate chikara chokutanga, icho ronda raro rinouraya rakanga raporeswa. Uye chinoita zvishamiso zvikuru, zvokuti chinoita kuti moto uburuke kubva kudenga uuye panyika pamberi pavanhu. Uye chinonyengera vanogara panyika nezvishamiso izvo chakatenderwa kuita pamberi pechikara; chichiti kuna vanogara panyika, vaite mufananidzo wechikara chakanga chine ronda romunondo, asi chikararama. Uye chakapiwa simba rokupa mweya kumufananidzo wechikara, kuti mufananidzo wechikara utaurewo, uye uite kuti vose vasingadi kunamata mufananidzo wechikara vaurawe. Uye chinoita kuti vose, vaduku navakuru, vapfumi navarombo, vakasununguka navaranda, vagamuchire chiratidzo muruoko rwavo rworudyi, kana pahuma dzavo; uye kuti kurege kuva nomunhu angatenga kana kutengesa, kunze kwouyo ane chiratidzo, kana zita rechikara, kana nhamba yezita racho.

> Hapa ndipo pane uchenjeri. Ngaaverenge nhamba yechikara uyo ane kunzwisisa; nokuti inhamba yomunhu; uye nhamba yacho mazana matanhatu namakumi matanhatu nenhanhatu. Zvakazarurwa 13:11–18.

Mundima me mune zvinomwe zvikuru zvezviratidzo zvechiporofita zvinobatanidzwa nechikara chemunyika chine nyanga mbiri. Anoshandisa simba rechikara chakamutungamirira; anoita kuti munhu wose ari panyika anamate chikara chakanga chiripo pamberi pake; anoita zvishamiso zvikuru zvinoonekwa navanhu vose; anonyengera nyika yose uye anoraira nyika kuti iite mufananidzo wechikara chaiva pamberi pake; anopa mufananidzo wechikara upenyu uye unotaura; anomanikidza, pasi pechirango cherufu, nyika yose kunamata mufananidzo wechikara; uye anomanikidza nyika yose kugamuchira chiratidzo pahuma kana paruoko, uye anorambidza kutenga nokutengesa kune vaya vasina chiratidzo, zita, kana nhamba yechikara.

Basa rinonyengera rinoitwa nechikara chinobuda “kubva panyika” mundima yegumi neimwe rakanyanyisa kunyengera uye rine simba zvokuti “rinonyengera avo vagere panyika.” Nyika yose ichanyengerwa neUnited States. Kureva kuti, kunze kwechechi yaMwari—nyika yose ichanyengerwa kuti igamuchire chiratidzo chaantikristu. Zviitiko zvechiporofita zvinotangira kunyengerwa uku kwepasi rose zvakatotanga kare kuitika.

Kune ngano dziri muBhaibheri dzinozivikanwa navanhu vazhinji, kunyange hazvo dzimwe nguva vachiziva padanho repamusoro chete. Vazhinji vakanzwa pamusoro pekusangana kwakaitika pakati paMozisi naFarao, Dhanieri naNebhukadhinezari, kana Jesu naPirato. Vanhu vanoziva ngano idzi dzeBhaibheri pamatanho akasiyana-siyana okunzwisisa, asi havasi kuziva nguva dzose kuti uporofita hweBhaibheri hunonongedzera zvakananga uye nenzira yakanyatsotsanangurika kumadzimambo noushe. Zvakanga zvakadaro zvechokwadi kuna Mozisi, Dhanieri naKristu. Ijipiti, Bhabhironi neRoma zvose zvakanyatsodanwa muuporofita hweBhaibheri nguva isati yasvika nhoroondo umo zvakazozadzisa zviporofita zvine chekuita noushe hwazvo hwakasiyana-siyana. Mwari haamboshanduki.

> Nokuti ndiri Jehovha, handishanduki; saka imi vanakomana vaJakobho hamuna kuparadzwa. Maraki 3:6.

> ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଗତକାଲି, ଆଜି ଓ ସଦାକାଳ ସମାନ ଅଛନ୍ତି। ଇବ୍ରୀୟ ୧୩:୮।

Chokwadi chokuti Mwari haamboshanduki chinotibvumira kushandisa pfungwa yakareruka pakufungisisa kwedu pamusoro pechikara chepanyika chine nyanga mbiri cheZvakazarurwa chitsauko 13. Nokuti tinoziva kuti Mwari akaisa pachena zviporofita zvakananga zvairatidza humambo hweIjipiti, Bhabhironi, neRoma sezvahwo hwakabatana nechechi yaMwari uye huchiitambudza, tinogona kusimbisa zvimwe chokwadi pamusoro pechikara chepanyika cheZvakazarurwa chitsauko 13. Chikara chepanyika, sezvakaitawo Ijipiti, Bhabhironi, neRoma, chichazivikanwa zvakananga muchiporofita cheBhaibheri kusati kwasvika nhoroondo umo chiporofita chine chekuita norudzi irworwo chinozadzikiswa. Ndinoti tinogona kusimbisa chokwadi ichi pahwaro hwomurau wakareruka kwazvo asi wakakosha weBhaibheri. Murau wacho unoratidza kuti chokwadi chinosimbiswa nezvapupu zviviri.

> Pamupupuriro hwechapupu zviviri, kana zvitatu, ndiye akafanira rufu achaiswa kurufu; asi pamupupuriro hwechapupu chimwe chete haafaniri kuiswa kurufu. Deuteronomio 17:6.

> Chapupu chimwe hachingasimuki kupomera munhu mhosva pamusoro pechakaipa chipi nechipi, kana pamusoro pechivi chipi nechipi, pachivi chipi nechipi chaakatadza; nyaya ichasimbiswa nemuromo wezvapupu zviviri, kana nemuromo wezvapupu zvitatu. Deuteronomio 19:15.

> Ndi lwa vhuraru ndi tshi khou da kha inwi. Nga mulomo wa ṱhanzi mbili kana tharu, ipfi ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe ḽi ḓo khwaṱhisedzwa. 2 Vhakorinta 13:1.

> Mupinge mukuru musatambira pomwe mlandu, koma pakakhala mboni ziwiri kapena zitatu. 1 Timoteyo 5:19.

Unabii wa Biblia ulitabiri kuanguka kwa Misri ya kale wakati Mungu aliposhughulika na Farao wa Misri aliyeasi. Unabii wa Biblia ulitabiri kuinuka na kuanguka kwa Babeli ya kale huku pia ukishughulika na wafalme wa Babeli walioasi. Unabii wa Biblia ulitabiri kuinuka na kuanguka kwa milki ya Rumi ya kipagani na ukawatambua na kushughulika na wawakilishi wa Rumi waliopotoka. Uthabiti wa tabia ya Mungu isiyobadilika kamwe unaonyesha kwamba ufalme wenye umuhimu mkuu zaidi unaotajwa ndani ya unabii wa Biblia—mnyama wa nchi wa Ufunuo kumi na tatu—hakika kabisa utatambuliwa na unabii wa Biblia.

Kana uporofita hwemhuka yepanyika huri muna Zvakazarurwa 13 hwazadzikiswa, kereke yaMwari ichange yava mukupesana nehutungamiri hwezvematongerwo enyika nehwechitendero hwemhuka yepanyika, sezvakaratidzwa nouporofita naMozisi, Dhanieri, naKristu. Basa reUnited States rouporofita pakuguma kwenyika ndicho chimwe chezvidzidzo zvikuru zvouporofita hweBhaibheri. Sezvatichatsanangura ruzivo rweBhaibheri runozivisa basa reUnited States muuporofita hweBhaibheri, tichashandisa mitemo inowanikwa mukati meBhaibheri, nokuti Shoko raMwari haridi kududzirwa kwavanhu. Israeri yekare yakapiwa mitemo yemhemberero, mitemo youtano, mitemo gumi yetsika, mitemo yokurima, nezvimwewo. Mwari ane urongwa.

> Zvinhu zvose ngazviitwe zvakafanira uye zvakarongeka. 1 VaKorinde 14:40.

Indekisi yaseBhayibhelini ayinikezi bufakazi obukhomba ukuthi umuntu angabusiswa ngokumane angazinaki izimiso azinikezwe nguNkulunkulu. Ubani ongalindela ukubusiswa uma enganaki imithetho yokuhumusha iziprofetho emiswe eBhayibhelini nangalo iBhayibheli ngenhloso yokufunda iziprofetho?

> Huyai zvino, tirangarirane pamwe chete, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha: kunyange zvivi zvenyu zvikava zvitsvuku seshinda tsvuku, zvichacheneswa sechando; kunyange zvikatsvuka seropa rutsvuku, zvichava semvere dzamakwai. Isaya 1:18.

Patinoshandisa mitemo yeBhaibheri, tichabvumira Bhaibheri pacharo kuti risimbise nokuratidza kana mitemo yacho iri yechokwadi kana kuti yenhema. Sezvazvakaita nemitemo yose yakasiyana-siyana yaMwari, nguva dzose panowanikwa yokunyepedzera yaSatani inofananidza mitemo yacho. Naizvozvo, zvinodikanwa kuti kana mutemo uchishandiswa kusimbisa chokwadi, zvose chokwadi chacho chinenge chazivikanwa nomutemo wacho uye mutemo wacho pachawo zviongororwe.

> Vadiwa, musatenda mweya yose, asi edzai mweya kuti muone kana iri yaMwari; nokuti vaprofita vazhinji venhema vakabuda vakaenda munyika. 1 Johane 4:1.

Enye injongo, ngaphandle kokuchaza indima yesiprofetho ye-United States kulesi sifundo, ukukhomba umlayezo oyimfihlo osencwadini yesAmbulo uJesu awufihla kwaze kwaba yilesi sizukulwane esithile.

> Izinto ezifihlakeleyo zingezikaYehova uThixo wethu; kodwa ezo zinto zityhiliweyo zezethu, nezabantwana bethu ngonaphakade, ukuze siwenze onke amazwi alo mthetho. Duteronomi 29:29.

Siri za kinabii za Mungu zinazofunuliwa zina kusudi la kuwawezesha wale wanaopokea siri hiyo kushika sheria Yake. Wanadamu wanaweza kuishika sheria Yake tu ikiwa imeandikwa juu ya mioyo yao. Siri inayofunguliwa muhuri katika kitabu cha Ufunuo ni sehemu ya mchakato wa Roho Mtakatifu kuiandika sheria ya Mungu katika sehemu zetu za ndani na mioyo yetu. Siri inayofunuliwa kwa watu wa Mungu, inapokubaliwa kwa imani, huithibitisha agano jipya.

> Tarisa, mazuva anouya, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, andichaita sungano itsva neimba yaIsraeri, neimba yaJudha: isingafananidzi nesungano yandakaita namadzibaba avo pazuva randakavabata ruoko kuti ndivabudise munyika yeIjipiti; sungano yangu yavakaputsa, kunyange ndakanga ndiri murume wavo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha: Asi iyi ndiyo sungano yandichaita neimba yaIsraeri; shure kwamazuva iwayo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ndichaisa murayiro wangu mukati mavo, uye ndichau nyora pamwoyo yavo; uye ndichava Mwari wavo, ivo vachava vanhu vangu. Jeremia 31:31–33.

> “Mumazuva okupedzisira enhoroondo yenyika ino, sungano yaMwari nevanhu vake vanochengeta mirayiro yake inofanira kuvandudzwa.” Review and Herald, February 26, 1914.

Chakazarurwa 1:1–3 Mharidzo Yekupedzisira Yeyambiro:

> Chakazarurwa chaJesu Kristu, chaakapiwa naMwari kwaari, kuti aratidze kuvaranda vake zvinhu zvinofanira kuitika nokukurumidza; akachitumira akachizivisa nomutumwa wake kumuranda wake Johani; iye akapupurira shoko raMwari, nouchapupu hwaJesu Kristu, nezvose zvaakaona. Akaropafadzwa uyo anoverenga, navanonzwa mashoko ouporofita uhwu, nokuchengeta zvinhu zvakanyorwa imomo; nokuti nguva yava pedyo. Zvakazarurwa 1:1–3.

Mavesi matatu okutanga echitsauko chekutanga chaZvakazarurwa anoratidza kuti “Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu” ndiwo mashoko okupedzisira kuvanhu. Zviri pachena kuti ishoko, nokuti “Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu” zvakapiwa kwaAri naBaba voKudenga kuti aratidze varanda vake zvinhu “zvinofanira kukurumidza kuitika.”

Tava kurairwa kufunga kuti “Mweya Mutsvene wakaronga zvinhu nenzira iyi, zvose mukupihwa kwechiporofita” uyewo “muzviitiko zvinoratidzwa.”

> “Mweya Mutsvene wakaronga zvinhu nenzira yakadaro, zvose mukupiwa kwechiprofita nomuzviitiko zvinoratidzwa, kuti udzidzise kuti mumiriri womunhu anofanira kuchengetwa asingaonekwi, akavigwa muna Kristu, uye kuti Ishe Mwari wokudenga nomurayiro Wake vanofanira kukudzwa. Verenga bhuku raDanieri. Rangarira, poindi nepoindi, nhoroondo youmambo hunomiririrwa imomo.” Testimonies to Ministers, 112.

“Izviitiko zvinoratidzwa,” pamwe chete ne“kupihwa kwechiporofita” mundima nhatu dzokutanga dzechitsauko chokutanga chaZvakazarurwa, zvinonyatsoratidza maitiro anoitwa naMwari pakutaura nevanhu, nhanho nenhanho, uye zvinoratidzawo kuti shoko rinotaurwa rinonzi “Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu.”

Yesu Kristu akabva aita zvinhu zviviri neshoko raakagamuchira kuna Mwari. Akatumira shoko iroro nengirozi yake, uye akaratidzawo shoko rake nezviratidzo kubudikidza nengirozi iyoyo. Ingirozi yake yakazotora shoko iri ikaenda naro kumuprofita Johane, uyo akarinyaora pasi, akaritumira kumakereke nokuda kwangu newe. Ndima nhatu dzokutanga “dzakaumbwa” kudaro no“Mweya Mutsvene” kuitira kusimbisa zvose “shoko” pacharo ne“nzira yokurukurirana” yakashandiswa pakuendeswa kweshoko racho.

Ndima nhatu dzatiri kufungisisa dzinopa shoko rokupedzisira kuvanhu, asi harisi bedzi shoko rokupedzisira—chinonyanya kukosha ndechokuti, ndima nhatu idzi dzinomirira shoko rokupedzisira re“yambiro” kupasi rose. Hunhu hwe“yambiro” hweiri shoko hunoratidzwa apo boka ravanhu rinotsanangurwa se“vakaropafadzwa” nokuda kwokuti vakaverenga, vakanzwa, uye vakachengeta “zvinhu zvakanyorwa imomo.” Kune boka ravanhu risingazoverengi, kana kunzwa, yambiro inomiririrwa se“Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu”. Hazvibviri kuti ivo vakaropafadzwe. Zviri pachena kuti kana kune boka rakaropafadzwa nokuda kwokuti rinoverenga, rinonzwa, uye rinochengeta zvinhu zvakanyorwa, ipapo kunewo boka risina kukomborerwa. Ko munhu achaverenga, achanzwa, uye achachengeta here shoko reZvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu? Kana zvakadaro, acharopafadzwa; kana zvisina kudaro, achatukwa.

> “Anodaro muporofita achiti: ‘Akaropafadzwa ndiye unoverenga’—varipo vasingazoverengi; chikomborero hachisi chavo. ‘Uye avo vanonzwa’—varipowo vamwe vanoramba kunzwa chero chipi zvacho chine chokuita nezviporofita; chikomborero hachisi cheboka iri. ‘Uye vanochengeta zvinhu izvo zvakanyorwa imomo’—vazhinji vanoramba kuteerera yambiro nemirayiridzo iri muna Zvakazarurwa; hapana kana mumwe wavo angati chikomborero chakavimbiswa ndechake. Vose vanoseka nyaya dzechiporofita uye vanotsvinya zviratidzo zvakapiwa pano zvine chiremerera, vose vanoramba kugadzirisa upenyu hwavo uye kugadzirira kuuya kweMwanakomana womunhu, havazovi nechikomborero.” The Great Controversy, 341.

Mutsara wokuti “nguva yaswedera” mundima yetatu unoratidza kuti pane nguva yakatarwa apo shoko rokupedzisira reyambiro rinosvika munhoroondo. “Nguva,”—(nguva yakatarwa) “yaswedera.” Nguva yakatarwa yava kuda kusvika, nokuti yaswedera, uye vanhu vaMwari (vanomiririrwa naJohane) vanonzwisisa shoko iri “nguva” isati yasvika. Johane akanyora bhuku raZvakazarurwa panoperera zana rokutanga ramakore, asi ndima idzi dzinoratidza kuti kuchava nechinguva munhoroondo, nguva refu mushure megore rechi100, apo shoko rokupedzisira reyambiro richaparidzwa. Apo “nguva” iyo “yaswedera,” shoko rinoratidza “zvinhu zvinofanira kukurumidza kuitika” richazarurirwa varanda vaMwari.

Muzvinyorwa izvi zvakatevedzana, Bhaibheri pamwe chete nezvinyorwa zvaEllen White zvichashandiswa sechiremera chekusimbisa dudziro yezvikamu zveMagwaro Matsvene zvatinotora.

Ticharevawo zvakare kumitemo yekududzira zviporofita yakaunganidzwa naWilliam Miller, uye kumitemo yakaratidzwa muunganidzwa une musoro unoti *Prophetic Keys*. Tichashandisawo chidzidzo chezviporofita chinonzi *Habakkuk’s Tables*.

Hatidi kubainisha kila kanuni tunayotumia. Kwa ufupi, tutarejelea tu mkusanyo wa Prophetic Keys kwa wale wowote watakaotaka kusoma uthibitisho wa kina zaidi wa kanuni hiyo. Kwa mfululizo wa Habakkuk’s Tables, tunakusudia kuonyesha mawasilisho fulani ambamo somo ambalo tutaligusia kwa ufupi, linashughulikiwa kwa undani zaidi.

Patinofambira mberi nokudzidza bhuku raZvakazarurwa, tinokurudzira mhinduro yeruzhinji, asi tichangopindura chete kumipiro inobatsira kufambira mberi kwechidzidzo chiri kuenderera. Upamhi hwehurukuro yedu huchasanganisira nhevedzano yazvino yemharidzo, mitemo yechiporofita yatinoshandisa, uye mashoko anowanikwa muMatafura aHabhakuki.

> Chakazarurwa chaJesu Kristu, chaakapiwa naMwari kwaari, kuti aratidze kuvashumiri vake zvinhu zvinofanira kukurumidza kuitika; akazvituma akazvizivisa nechiratidzo nomutumwa wake kumushumiri wake Johane: iye akapupura shoko raMwari, nouchapupu hwaJesu Kristu, nezvose zvaakaona. Akaropafadzwa uyo anoverenga, navanonzwa mashoko euporofita uhwu, vachichengeta zvinhu zvakanyorwa mariri; nokuti nguva yaswedera. Zvakazarurwa 1:1–3.

Ijambo ry’Ikigereki ryahinduwemo “yabimenyekanishije” risobanura “kugaragaza.” Yatumye ubutumwa bunyuzwa ku “mumarayika we,” kandi yabumenyekanishije binyuze ku “mumarayika we.” Uwo “mumarayika we” ni Gaburiyeli.

> “Mazwi a malaika, ‘Mimi ni Gabrieli, nisimamaye mbele za Mungu,’ yanaonyesha kwamba anashika cheo cha heshima kuu katika nyua za mbinguni. Alipokuja na ujumbe kwa Danieli, alisema, ‘Wala hapana yeyote ashikamaye nami katika mambo haya, ila Mikaeli [Kristo], mkuu wenu.’ Danieli 10:21. Kumhusu Gabrieli Mwokozi anasema katika Ufunuo, akisema kwamba ‘Yeye alimtuma, akaudhihirisha kwa njia ya malaika wake kwa mtumwa wake Yohana.’ Ufunuo 1:1.” Tumaini la Vizazi Vyote, 99.

Mutumwa Gabhirieri anotumwa neshoko, uye mutumwa Gabhirieriwo anomiririra shoko racho. Kana vanhu vasvika panguva iyoyo munhoroondo apo “nguva yava pedyo” yokuti shoko rokuyambira rokupedzisira riparidzwe, shoko iroro rokupedzisira rinomiririrwa nomutumwa. Mubhuku raZvakazarurwa, “mashoko” anowanzo miririrwa savatumwa, uye chokwadi ndechokuti shoko rechiGiriki rakashandurwa richinzi “mutumwa” muna Zvakazarurwa rinoreva nhume.

Kubonakaliswa konkhe kweliciniso laNkulunkulu lokufikile emlandvweni ngempela kungukwembulwa kwaJesu Khristu, kodvwa Sembulo saJesu Khristu lesisemcunjini wekucala weSambulo siyisexwayiso sekugcina sesintfu, futsi senzeka ngesikhatsi lesitsite lesimelelwa ngekutsi “sikhatsi.” Kukhona lenye indzima encwadzini yeSambulo lapho Johane asho khona kutsi “sikhatsi sesisedvute”. Leyo lenye indzima iniketa bofakazi besibili kuhlola timangalo tasekucaleni lengitente ngemavesi ekucala kuya ekutsatfu.

> Zvino akati kwandiri, Mashoko awa akatendeka, ezvokwadi; uye Ishe Mwari wavaporofita vatsvene wakatuma mutumwa wake kuti aratidze kuvaranda vake zvinhu zvinofanira kuitika nokukurumidza. Tarira, ndinouya nokukurumidza; wakaropafadzwa anochengeta mashoko ouporofita hwebhuku iri.

> Na mimi Yohana niliyaona mambo haya, na kuyasikia. Na nilipokuwa nimeyasikia na kuyaona, nikaanguka chini ili kuabudu mbele ya miguu ya malaika aliyenionyesha mambo haya.

> Ipapo akati kwandiri, “Chenjerera kuti urege kuzviita; nokuti ndiri mushumiri pamwe chete newe, nowehama dzako vaprofita, uye nowavo vanochengeta mashoko ebhuku iri; namata Mwari.”

> Ipapo anoti kwandiri, “Usavhara namatiriso mashoko ouporofita ebhuku iri, nokuti nguva yava pedyo. Asina kururama, ngaaarambe asina kururama; uye akasviba, ngaarambe akasviba; uye akarurama, ngaarambe akarurama; uye mutsvene, ngaarambe ari mutsvene.” Zvakazarurwa 22:6–11.

Pakupera kwebhuku raZvakazarurwa tinowana nyaya imwe cheteyo sezviri pakutanga peZvakazarurwa. Maitiro okutaurirana neshoko zvataurwazve apo “Ishe Mwari” “akatuma mutumwa wake kuti aratidze kuvaranda vake zvinhu zvinofanira kukurumidza kuitika.” Uye pakarepo bedzi apo varanda vanoratidzwa shoko rinoratidza “zvinhu zvinofanira kukurumidza kuitika,” Kristu anozivisa kuti ari kuuya nokukurumidza. Iri ndiro shoko rinotangira kuuya kwechipiri kwaKristu, saka ndirwo shoko rokupedzisira rokunyevera—iro chairo shoko rimwe chete rinomiririrwa se“Zvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu” mundima yokutanga yechitsauko chokutanga. Ropafadzo yakavimbiswa mundima nhatu dzokutanga dzeZvakazarurwa inodzokororwazve neshoko rinoti, “wakaropafadzwa uyo anochengeta mashoko ouprofita hwebhuku iri.”

Mundima ndima idzi tinowana kuwedzerwa kwetsananguro yenzira yokutaurirana yakaiswa pachena muchitsauko chokutanga, nokuti tinoona kuti mushure mokunge Gabhurieri aisa shoko kuna Johani, Johani anokurirwa zvikuru neshoko racho zvokuti anoedza kunamata Gabhurieri; ipapo Gabhurieri anoshandisa kusanzwisisa kwaJohani kuratidza kuti vatumwa vokudenga, vaprofita vapanyika, navose vanochengeta zvirevo zveshoko iri, “varanda pamwe chete” vanofanira kunamata Mwari Musiki, kwete chisikwa chaMwari.

Aya madimikira aya ari kutsanangura zviitiko zvimwe chete neshoko rimwe chetero ratiri kufunga muchitsauko chokutanga. Ari kudzokorora mashoko akatendeka uye echokwadi anoratidza varanda vaMwari zvinofanira kuitwa nokukurumidza. Shoko racho rinoiswazve mumamiriro ehurongwa hwokutaurirana pakati paMwari nevaranda Vake.

Iyo yegumi yaIsaya, (inova chegumi) zvakare ndiyo “chibayiro mukururama” chaMaraki. Chibayiro chaMaraki vanhu vaMwari, vanomiririrwa se“vanakomana vaRevhi,” vanonatswa nomoto kuti vabudise “chibayiro mukururama”; uye avo “vanodyiwa” nomoto muchapupu chaIsaya ndivo yegumi, kana kuti chegumi.

Nokuti hakuna mumwe angateya imwe nheyo kunze kweiyo yakatoteywa, inova Jesu Kristu. Zvino kana munhu akavaka pamusoro penheyo iyi nendarama, nesirivha, namabwe anokosha, kana nematanda, nouswa, namashanga; basa romunhu mumwe nomumwe richaratidzwa pachena; nokuti zuva richazvizivisa, nokuti richafumurwa nomoto; uye moto uchayedza basa romunhu mumwe nomumwe kuti ndorudzii. 1 VaKorinde 3:10–13.

Pano Pauro pano anozivisa kuti mabasa omunhu mumwe nomumwe acharatidzwa ne“moto”. Muna Maraki moto unopisa uchibvisa marara esimbi. Muna Isaya kunatswa kwe“chegumi” kunoitika “apo” pavanokandira kure mashizha avo. Mashizha chiratidzo chechivi chakavanzika, chokunyepedzera, uye chokuzvikudza sokunopupurirwa naAdhamu naEvha.

“chigumi” cha Yesaya chine chinhu chiri mukati macho chisingagoni kupiswa chichipera, uye chinhu ichocho i“mbeu tsvene”. Vane Kristu mukati mavo, tariro yekubwinya. Yesaya pachake i“mbeu tsvene” uyezve ndiye “chigumi” chaanozivisa. Zvose zviri zviviri, “mbeu tsvene” ne“chigumi”, zvinodzoka kubva pachimiro cheRaodhikia zvichienda pachimiro cheFiraderfia kubudikidza neChizaruro chaJesu Kristu munzvimbo yake tsvene.

Umbono wenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, owenza u-Isaya akhale ngokuthi ufile, ukuthi ungumuntu ongcolileyo nowonileyo odinga ukuthethelelwa, wenzeka ethempelini lasezulwini lapho izihlahla zilahla amaqabunga azo. Igama elithi “ukulahla” lisho “ukuphonsa ngaphandle”, noma “ukugawula” isihlahla. Ukulahlwa ngaphandle kweLawodikeya kumelwe lapha. “Ishumi” noma insali liyodlula emlilweni “wokuhlanzwa” olethwa yisiThunywa sesiVumelwano sikaMalaki, ngalokho imisebenzi yabo yobuntu ishiswa ngokomoya isuke, ngalokho kusale kuphela “umsuka” ongeke ushiswe, okuyi“Nzalo eNgcwele”. Labo abenqaba ukuzwa bayolahlwa njengamaqabunga afile omile, noma bakhafulelwe baphume emlonyeni weNkosi.

Jesu ndiye Mbegu Takatifu, na mbegu ina chembe zote za urithi zinazohitajika ili kutoa mmea wote mzima. Neno la Mungu ni mbegu; kwa hiyo, kutajwa kwa kwanza kwa jambo katika Neno la Mungu kuna habari zote zinazohitajika ili kulifikisha jambo hilo kwenye ukomavu kamili ndani ya mwamini, likieleweka sawasawa.

Isaya chitsauko chechitanhatu chinoratidza vanhu vasingazo“nzwi” panguva iyo paUNOFANIRA kunzwa kuti ugopiwa ropafadzo yeshoko reZvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu. Vanhu vakataurwa naJesu ndivo vaiva vanhu vakasanangurwa vaMwari, vaiva mukadzi Wake, vaiva vanhu vake vesungano, vaiva Israeri yekare.

Israyeli wekare, kana kuti Israyeli yokutanga, anomiririra Israyeli yazvino, kana kuti Israyeli yokupedzisira. Vanhu vaMwari pakuguma kwenyika ndivo vaSeventh-day Adventists, vanhu vake vakasanangurwa, mudzimai wake, vanhu vesungano yake—Israyeli yazvino. Uchapupu hwenhoroondo yaIsaya, hwakabatanidzwa nenhoroondo yaKristu, hunopa zvapupu zviviri zvinotsigira kuti pakuguma kwenyika, chiSeventh-day Adventism chichava mu“mamiriro” ekurasika uye asingagoni kuponeswa anomiririrwa mushoko rinotumirwa kuLaodikia.

Havasi chaizvo vanhu vasingagoni kuponeswa, asi havangagoni kuponeswa vari mumamiriro avo eRaodhikia, sezvakanga zvakaita Isaya asati apinda muchiitiko chake, uye sezvakanga zvakaitawo vaJudha venguva yaKristu.

Chimodzi mwa zinthu zimene Mulaodikea ayenera “kumva” ndi fanizo la Wofesa. Ayenera “kumva” m’fanizo limenelo kuti Mawu a Mulungu ndi “mbewu”, mbewu yopatulika. Izi zikangomveka, pamenepo pamayikidwa maziko amene ayamba kutsegula uthenga wachinsinsi wa Chivumbulutso, pakuti uthenga umenewo watsekeredwa m’kuzindikira kozama kwakuti Yesu ndiye Alefa ndi Omega, Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza, Chiyambi ndi Mapeto. Kumvetsa ubale wa mapeto ndi chiyambi kumaphatikizapo kumvetsa kuti Yesu ndiye Mawu, ndipo Iye ndiye Mbewu.

Kuti tinzwisise ukama huripo pakati pemagumo nekutanga, kunoda kunzwisisa “mutemo wokutanga kutaurwa.” Mutemo wokutanga kutaurwa unoratidza kuti kutanga kwechidzidzo ndiko kunonyanya kukosha, nokuti kunotakura nyaya yose, nokuti seShoko raMwari imbeu. Kurehwa kwekupedzisira ndiko kwechipiri pakukosha, mupfungwa yokuti ndipo panosunganidzwa pamwe chete zvikamu zvose zvenyaya, pasina chinosiiwa chisina kugadziriswa. Asi kurehwa kuri pakati nepakati pamusoro pechidzidzo ndiko kunowedzera simba nekujekesa kunyaya yacho, uye mupfungwa iyoyo zviri pakati zvakakosha sezvakaita kutanga kana kuguma.

Pane zvakawanda zvikuru zvinofanira kutaurwa pamusoro penyaya iyi, asi tichidzokera kuchikamu chiri muna Mateu gumi nenhatu tinogona kuona kuti Jesu akaratidza mapoka maviri avanhu vanonzwa kana vasinganzwi. Anoratidza nzira dzinopfuura imwe dzekusanzwa, asi ipapo anobva azivisa chikomborero pamusoro paavo vanonzwa.

Kutipa kwauprofita, naizvozvo, “kuropafadzwa” uku ndiko kuropafadzwa kumwe cheteko kunotaurwa pana Zvakazarurwa 1:3:

> Heri munhu anoverenga, navanonzwa mashoko ouporofita uhwu, nokuchengeta zvinhu zvakanyorwamo; nokuti nguva yaswedera.

Matauriro aJesu muna Mateo 13 kuna Isaya 6, zvichipindirana nezvakanyorwa naEllen White, zvinosimbisa kuti pane zvinhu zvinoonekwa nezvinonzwikwa pakuguma kwenyika zvakanga zvikuru kwazvo zvokuti varume vazhinji vakarurama nevaporofita vakashuva kurarama panguva iyoyo apo shoko reyambiro rokupedzisira raizozarurwa, uye kuti vanhu vaizobva “vaona” uye “vanzwa” zvinhu izvozvo.

Johane akaudzwa kuti aname zvakataurwa ne“Kutinhira Kunomwe” muchitsauko chegumi, uye muchitsauko chemakumi maviri nezviviri panobuda chiziviso chinoti, “Usaname mashoko euprofita ebhuku iri; nokuti nguva yava pedyo.” Ndima inotevera inoratidza kupera kwenguva yokuedzwa kwavanhu. Nguva yokuedzwa isati yapera zvachose, panobuda chiziviso chokuzarura “Kutinhira Kunomwe,” iro riri iro chete gwaro riri mubhuku raZvakazarurwa rakanga rakavharwa panguva iyoyo. Pamusoro pe“Kutinhira Kunomwe” tinoziviswa kuti zvinomirira kutanga nokuguma kweAdventism.

Kutinhira Kunomwe kunomirira zviitiko zvakaitika panguva yokutanga kweAdventism munhoroondo yeshoko romutumwa wokutanga nowechipiri, kubva muna 1798 kusvikira pana Gumiguru 22, 1844, uye muchinyorwa ichocho chimwe chete chataurwa pamusoro tinoziviswa kuti Kutinhira Kunomwe “kune chokuita nezviitiko zvenguva yemberi zvichazozarurwa mukutevedzana kwazvo.” Nhoroondo yokutanga yeAdventism inoratidza kuguma kweAdventism, nokuti Jesu Kristu, saArfa naOmega, anoisa chisimbiso chake pamusoro penhoroondo yose yeAdventism, nokuti inhoroondo tsvene sezvakanga zvakaita nhoroondo yaIsraeri wekare.

Maererano naJesu muna Mateo gumi nematatu, zviitiko izvi ndizvo zvakashuvirwa kuona nevaporofita, uye izvo vadzidzi vakakomborerwa nekuziva. Vadzidzi ivavo vanomirira vanhu vaMwari pakuguma kwenyika, vanokomborerwa nezvavanoona nezvavanonzwa. Zvavanoona nezvavanonzwa ishoko reChizaruro chaJesu Kristu, iro rinomirirwawo neshoko reKutinhira Kunomwe, kunomirira zvose nhoroondo yeMillerite nenhoroondo yevane zana nemakumi mana nezvina zvuru.

Ellen White anozivisa kuti nhoroondo yakazivikanwa naKristu seiyo nhoroondo yakashuvira kuiona varume vakarurama, inhoroondo yevaMillerite kubva muna 1840 kusvika muna 1844; uye ipapo anoti “shoko richakurumidza kupiwa nokugadzwa kwaMwari, iro richakura rikava kuchema kukuru.” “Kuchema kukuru” kunomirira yambiro yokupedzisira yengirozi yechitatu, uye kana shoko iroro rapiwa, richadzokorora nhoroondo yokutanga kweAdventism. Shoko reyambiro yokupedzisira ndiwo “mashoko” “anofanira kuenda kumakereke ose,” uye “mashoko ose akapiwa kubva muna 1840–1844 anofanira kusimbiswa zvino.”

Alfa na Omega zvinoratidza magumo pamwe chete nekutanga. Ellen White anoti “mashoko anofanira kuendeswa kumakereke ose,” uye Jesu akaudza Johane kuti “Ndini Alfa naOmega, wokutanga nowokupedzisira; uye zvaunoona, zvinyore mubhuku, uzvitumire kumakereke manomwe ari muAsia; kuEfeso, nekuSmirna, nekuPegamo, neTiatira, neSadhisi, neFiradherifia, neRaodhikia.”

Imilayezo yango-1840 kuya ku-1844 iyinxenye yalokho okumelwe kuthunyelwe emasontweni.
