Lofalitsidwa koyambirira Lamlungu, Januware 24, 2010, 9:43 am mu Chijeremani pa www.letztercountdown.org
Kwa nthawi yayitali sindinkafuna kuyambitsa webusayiti iyi ndikuyifalitsa pa intaneti. Kuyambira m’chaka cha 2005, ndinakambirana ndi abale ndi alongo a mumpingo wathu zinthu zimene ndimakhulupirira kuti ndinazipeza poona zochitika zapadziko lonse ndiponso maphunziro a Baibulo, makamaka za ulosi. Maphunziro anga anali kusonyeza kuti inali nthawi yoti ndikonzekere kulira mokweza ndi kuchoka m’mizinda, ndikukafikabe. Komabe, yankho lalikulu linali: "Inde, ndizosangalatsa kwambiri. Tiwona ngati mukulondola." Ndipo izo zinali zonse zomwe unyinji wochuluka umayenera kunena.
Palibe amene adayankha. Palibe amene anawona kuti chirichonse chimene chinalalikidwa kuyambira 1844 chinali tsopano chikubwera patsogolo pathu, Mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist ndi dziko lonse lapansi. “Anamwali” onse anagona monga mmene Yesu anasonyezera mochititsa chidwi m’fanizoli. Ochepa kwambiri ankafuna kudziŵa kumene tinali kwenikweni m’nthaŵi yaulosi. Panali abale ochepa chabe ku Canada amene anaphunzira mwakhama ndi ndandanda yatsatanetsatane ya zochitika zomalizira. Nthawi yawo, komabe, inali ndi kufooka pang'ono chifukwa idayamba ndendende masiku 295 chilengezo cha Lamulo la Lamlungu ku US lisanalengezedwe ndipo sizinali zothandiza ngati mukufuna kudziwa kuti lamulo la Lamlungu linali kutali bwanji. Palibe amene ankadziwa kuti masiku 295wo adzayamba liti, komanso nthawi yake yonse. Komabe, ambiri amalingalira kuti kuwerengera koteroko kukanakhala kosagwirizana ndi Baibulo komanso ngakhale kutsutsana momveka bwino ndi Mzimu wa Uneneri (Ellen G. White) popanda ngakhale kukayikira ngati pangakhale choonadi china.
Kodi chachitika ndi chiyani kwa Adventist? Pamene ndinabatizidwa mu 2003 monga Seventh-day Adventist, ndinali wokondwa kuti pomalizira pake ndinapeza mpingo umene unali ndi chidziwitso chonse chaulosi chimene ndakhala ndikuchifunafuna kosaphula kanthu kwa zaka 25. Poyamba, ndinali ndi mwayi wokhala ndi abale ena m’tauni yaing’ono ya ku Spain amene anamvetsadi zambiri ponena za zolembedwa za Mzimu wa Ulosi, ndipo mafunso anga ambiri anayankhidwa. Komabe, posakhalitsa ndinazindikira kuti ambiri anali atasiya kuyang’ana kapena sanayambe kufunafuna zizindikiro za kukwaniritsidwa kwa maulosi m’malo awo okhala, ndale, sayansi, ndipo makamaka pampando wachifumu wa zilombo za pa Chivumbulutso 13 ndi 17 .
Pambuyo pake, pamene ndinafika m’gawo laumishonale ku South America, lingaliro langa loipa la kukhala maso kwa tchalitchi linalimbikitsidwa. Abale anga pano onse anali okhutitsidwa kotheratu kudziwa kuti tsiku lina “Lamulo Lamlungu Ladziko Lonse” ku US lidzalengezedwa, kuti tidzakumana ndi zovuta zina, kuti pokhapo tidzakhala zotengera zoyera za kutsanuliridwa kwa Mzimu Woyera—mvula ya masika—ndiponso kuti Khristu adzabwera posachedwa kutitsogolera kwathu ku nyumba zazikulu zakumwamba. Ambiri sanadziwe ngakhale zolembedwa za Mzimu wa Ulosi. Mobwerezabwereza, mipingo yonse inkangondiyang’ana mosakhulupirira ndikamalalikira kuti malamulo a Lamlungu akuyandikira. Iwo anali asanamvepo za izi kwa abusa awo.
Kodi tingafotokoze bwanji kupanda chidwi kumeneku? Kukonzekera kwathu ku zochitika zomalizira kuyenera kulunjika kwambiri pa “kuyeretsedwa” kwa miyoyo yathu ndi mabanja athu, ndi kulengeza kwa mauthenga a angelo atatu ( Chivumbulutso 14 ). M’dziko langa ku South America, komabe, iwo sankadziŵa kalikonse ponena za mfundo zonse za kukonzanso thanzi, zimene Ellen G. White anazigwirizanitsa mosagawanika ndi uthenga wa mngelo wachitatu. Komanso abale analibe lingaliro lililonse ponena za zovuta zimene zinali mtsogolo mwa mpingo ndi dziko. Ndinayamba kulankhula ndi akulu ndi abusa ambiri, ndipo ndinayang’anizana ndi kusamvetsetsa kowonjezereka. Ndinauzidwa mosapita m’mbali kuti sinali ntchito yathu kumvetsa za m’tsogolo ndiponso kuti palibe amene angatanthauzire ulosi molondola. Ena a iwo anafika polalikira kuti sipadzakhalanso chizunzo cha otsalira—kuti chimenechi chinali chitakwaniritsidwa kale pa chiwonongeko cha Yerusalemu ndipo sichidzachitikanso!
Pamene ndinali kuyang’ana tchalitchi, m’pamenenso ndinayenera kuvomereza kwa ine ndekha kuti abale anga sanakonde kwenikweni mfundo yakuti Yesu anali kubwera posachedwa. Zomwe zinkawoneka mochenjera ku Spain zinali zowonekera kale m'tchalitchi chonse ku South America. Iwo sanafune kuti miyoyo yawo iyeretsedwe ndi Kristu pa chiweruzo chofufuza chimene chinayamba mu 1844. Zinali zoyesayesa zokulirapo kukhala ndi moyo wachiyero Mvula ya masika ndi mfuu yofuula isanatsanulidwe. Ambiri ankaganiza kuti zinali zosokoneza kwambiri kuyesa kuthana ndi vuto la kuchita khama kugwirizana ndi Khristu kuti Iye athetse zilema zotsala za makhalidwe awo. Zinali zabwino kwambiri kuti apitirizebe kuyamikira kudzikuza kwawo. Mwambi wosonyezedwa ndi moyo wa abale anga unali wakuti “Ndikufuna kukhala monga ndiliri.”
Ndinamva mawu ochokera pa guwa monga: “O, kusala kudya kwa Khristu mu chipululu? Tisamvetsetse! Baibulo linangolembedwa ndi anthu, ndipo ndithudi olembawo anali kugwiritsa ntchito chinenero cha anthu ndi malingaliro awo. Palibe amene angapulumuke masiku 40 popanda chakudya! Zipatso zambiri zinamera m’chipululu kumene Yesu anali, ndithudi—panopanazi, pamenepo nthochi! Kusala kudya kwa Yesu kunali kokhudzana ndi nyama basi, ndipo chimenecho chinali chiyeso chowopsa cha chikhulupiriro, monga momwe chingakhalire kwa ifenso! Koma ife sitiri Khristu, ndipo kuwonjezera apo, sitiyenera kutengera kusintha kwaumoyo mozama kuno ku South America chifukwa nyama zathu zikadali zathanzi. Palibe matenda amisala a ng'ombe pano! Ndipo ngati taitanidwa ku malo a osakhulupirira, ndithu, ifenso tingadye nyama ya nkhumba kuti tisawakhumudwitse! Ngakhale Kristu sanaone zinthu mopambanitsa! Ndipo komabe, Mulungu ndi chikondi ndipo sangafune kuti ana ake adzidzudzule okha.” Nditha kukuwuzaninso nkhani zakuti ndinawona abusa odzozedwa akudya nkhumba pagulu pa chakudya chamasana cha Sabata pambuyo pa tchalitchi, pamalo a Seventh-day Adventist, ndikupereka kwa ena.
Mawu ndi makhalidwe otere ndi osagwirizana ndi Baibulo, si a Adventist, ndipo ndi owopsa! Ndinaona kuti abale ndi alongo athu analibe chidwi ndi kuyeretsedwa kwa miyoyo yawo, chifukwa Mzimu wa Ulosi unali utazimiririka pa ulaliki uliwonse pa guwa. Kapena mukuganiza kuti n’zoona kuti tizingolalikira za chikondi cha Mulungu osati china chilichonse?
Mowonjezerekawonjezereka, ndinayamba kudzifunsa chifukwa chimene Baibulo limalongosola zochitika zomalizira molongosoka chotero ndi kuzifotokoza molongosoka, ndipo ndinadabwa chifukwa chake zinthu zimenezi mwachiwonekere zinalibe chidwi kwa abale ndi alongo athu. Malingana ndi Ellen G. White, aneneri a Chipangano Chakale analemba zochepa ponena za nthawi yawo, komanso zambiri za "nthawi yathu yotsiriza". Ndipo powerenga mabuku ambiri a Ellen G. White, yemwe adadalitsidwa ndi Mulungu m'moyo wake ndipo adalandira masomphenya zikwizikwi omwe adatulutsa mawu aulosi pakati pa zinthu zina zambiri, ndidawona kuti timatha kulumikiza zochepa chabe mwa mawu amenewo mwachindunji ndi Baibulo. Iye nthaŵi zonse ananena kuti iye anali “kuunika kwakung’ono” kumene kukatsogolera ku phunziro la “kuunika kwakukulu,” Baibulo, ndi kuti ngati tikuphunziradi Baibulo monga momwe tiyenera kuchitira, sikukanakhala kofunikira kuti Mulungu amutumize.
Zoona zake n’zakuti, a Adventist ambiri amaona kuti n’kovuta kwambiri kungopeza lamulo la Lamlungu m’Baibulo. Inde, iwo amadziŵa kuti chizindikiro cha chilombo ndicho kusunga Lamlungu. Koma ngati zimenezo n’zofunika kwambiri, ndipo Ellen G. White analemba za izo mobwerezabwereza, kodi chilengezo cha Lamulo la Dziko Lamlungu la ku United States chili kuti cholembedwa m’Baibulo? Chabwino, ndani angandiuze? Ndizovuta? Kapena ndiuzeni, ali kuti masoka aakulu achilengedwe omwe Mzimu wa Ulosi umalankhula, ngati malipenga ndi zisindikizo zonse zakwaniritsidwa mwaulosi pamaso pa 1844? Chabwino, ndiye tikadali ndi Mateyu 24 ndi Luka 21, koma kodi ndimezi zikuwonetsa kutsatizana kwenikweni kwa zochitika? Kapenanso zovuta kwambiri: Kodi tikupeza kuti “kuwonongeka kwa dziko la United States” kutsatira lamulo la Lamlungu? Kapena, ndimotani mmene tingasonyezere kuchokera m’Baibulo kupangidwa kotsatirapo kwa Boma la Dziko Limodzi, ndi papa pamwamba pake, m’ndandanda yanthaŵi yaulosi?
"Oh", munganene kuti, "kodi zonsezi ndizofunikira?” Popeza kuti Mzimu wa Ulosi wanena maulendo mazana ambiri kuti tiyenera kuphunzira ndime ndi mabuku ena a m’Baibulo mapeto asanafike, ndipo popeza kuti ngakhale Yesu mwiniyo anagogomezera kangapo konse kuti tiyenera kuphunzira mabuku ena, kodi sizingakhale zotheka kwa ife kusonyeza zinthu zonsezi m’Baibulo? Ndithudi, uyenera kukhala wofunika kwa ife chifukwa chakuti Mulungu samanena kanthu kalikonse kosafunika!
Koma n’chifukwa chiyani kuli kofunikira? N’cifukwa ciani Mulungu amabvutikila kuti atidziŵitse tsatanetsatane wa zinthu zocitika zomaliza? Yesu mwini akuyankha mafunso awa:
Ndipo tsopano ndakuwuzani zisanachitike, kuti, pamene chitachitika, mukakhulupirire. ((Yohane 14:29)
Ulosi wa m'Baibulo, woperekedwa ndi Mulungu, uli ndi cholinga chimodzi: Ndi kutsogoza mipata iwiri kwa iwo omwe amamvetsetsa uneneri molondola. Choyamba, kupulumutsa miyoyo yawo, ndiyeno kuchenjeza ena ndi kuwalimbikitsa kuti nawonso alandire mphatso yachisomo ya Ambuye. Chenjezo lalikulu lomaliza lomwe Adventist onse omwe adzasindikizidwe adzapereka kwa anthu likutchedwa mu chinenero cha Adventist "kufuula kwakukulu"! Osindikizidwa chizindikiro, a 144,000 malinga ndi kunena kwa Baibulo, adzawomba mfuu waukulu kutangotsala pang’ono kutha nthaŵi ya kuyesedwa pansi pa mikhalidwe yovuta kwambiri kwa iwo eni. Liri pansi pa chizunzo ndi boma la dziko lolamulidwa ndi apapa, ndi pansi pa chitsenderezo cha malamulo adziko amene adzatsutsa malamulo a Mulungu. Kudzakhala pafupifupi kosatheka kwa “oyera mtima akusunga malamulo a Mulungu,” pansi pa chiwopsezo cha zilango ngakhale imfa, kukhala okhulupirika kwa Mulungu popanda kuswa malamulo a munthu ndipo motero kuchitidwa ngati “olakwa”. Pansi pa zovuta zonsezi ntchito yayikulu ya Mateyu 28:18-20 idzamalizidwa ndipo uthenga woona wa Yesu udzalalikidwa komaliza padziko lonse lapansi. Ndiyeno mapeto adzafika.
Anthu a Advent ayenera kukhala okonzeka kuchita ntchito yolira mokweza. Choyamba, izi zikutanthauza kukhala okonzeka kulandira Mzimu Woyera, “mvula ya masika”. Palibe amene adzalandira “chitsitsimutso” cha Mzimu Woyera pokhapokha ataphunzira kukhala moyo wachiyero. Mzimu Woyera umatsanulidwa mu “zotengera zoyera” zokha. A 144,000 adzagwira ntchito limodzi ndi Yesu ndi kuumba makhalidwe awo kuti akhale oyera ndi ofanana ndi Khristu. Chiweruzo chofufuza chidzatha pamene onse asindikizidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndipo apereka chenjezo lalikulu lomaliza ku dziko lapansi.
Koma osati zimenezo! Awa ndi anthu amene adzapeza ubale wapamtima ndi Yesu kupyolera mu kuphunzira Baibulo ndi kupemphera kosalekeza kuti akhale ofanana ndi Mbuye wawo mu chirichonse. Yesu anali Mphunzitsi Waluso, ndipo ankadziwa Malemba kuposa wina aliyense. Ataukitsidwa, anamasulira kwa ophunzira panjira yopita ku Emau zonse zimene zinaloseredwa zokhudza Iye m’Chipangano Chakale, kuphatikizapo kubwera kwake ndi ntchito yake padziko lapansi. Iye anali katswiri wodabwitsa wa uneneri wa Chipangano Chakale! Ndi iko komwe, kuyambira patsamba loyamba mpaka lomaliza, Baibulo limanena za Yesu. Iye ndiye Mlengi wa chilengedwe chonse, ndipo anakonza dongosolo la chiwombolo cha dziko lotayika ngakhale lisanalengedwe. Maulosi amene sanakwaniritsidwebe a m’Chipangano Chakale ndi Chatsopano akwaniritsidwa posachedwa pamaso pathu, ndipo maulosi ambiri amene anakwaniritsidwa kale mophiphiritsira m’mbiri yonse adzabwerezedwanso m’njira yeniyeni. Tili kale pakati pa zochitika zomaliza ndi zofulumira izi, komabe ambiri atseka maso awo m'malo moyesera kudzikuza pokonzekera kulira kwakukulu. Baibulo limaphunzitsa momwe; zasonyezedwa kale ndi Mbuye wawo Wamkulu.
Ife a Adventist timadzizindikira tokha kuti ndi Eliya wachitatu. Woyamba anali mneneri mwiniwake, wachiwiri anali Yohane Mbatizi, amene analengeza za kudza koyamba kwa Khristu, ndipo ife ndife achitatu amene tiyenera kulengeza za kubweranso kwachiwiri kwa Khristu. Ndipo izi zimafika pachimake ndi kulira kwakukulu. Ndiye kodi sitiyenera kuonetsa anthu ena zonse zimene zinaloseredwa zokhudza kubweranso kwachiwiri kwa Khristu m’Baibulo? Mawu a Yesu a pa Chibvumbulutso 10:11 , amene ali oyenerera kwa nyengo pambuyo pa Chisoni Chachikulu cha 1844 mpaka kumapeto kwa mayeso, amati:
Ndipo anati kwa ine, Uyeneranso kunenera pamaso pa anthu ambiri, ndi mitundu, ndi manenedwe, ndi mafumu ambiri. (Chivumbulutso 10:11)
Liwu Lachigiriki lakuti prophēteuō limene lagwiritsidwa ntchito pano, limatanthauza “nenera"Kapena"kulosera zochitika”. Chotero Yesu anagogomezera maulosi osati kulalikira wamba! Anthu m’masiku otsiriza a mbiri ya anthu adzaumitsidwa kwambiri kotero kuti Mulungu adzagwiritsa ntchito njira zomalizira zimene ali nazo m’nkhokwe Yake ya miyeso kutembenuza ambiri kutembenuka ndi kulapa pa mphindi yotsiriza: nkhondo, njala, miliri, ndi imfa zochitidwa ndi makamu amisala chifukwa cha mantha ndi kupsinjika maganizo, amene alibe kulongosola kapena kumvetsa molakwa zochitika zowopsya zimene zikutiyembekezera posachedwapa.
Ndiye kachiwiri, Adventist ambiri amakhulupirira kuti anthu angayambe kudzuka titalalikira mozama kuti Lamulo la Dziko Lamlungu lidzalengezedwa ku United States ndi chiwonongeko cha dziko chotsatira, ndi kuti posachedwa lamulo la Lamlungu lino lidzafalikira pa dziko lonse lapansi. Komabe, izi ndizodziwikiratu zaulosi ndipo maulosi awa anadza kwa anthu a Advent kupyolera mu zolemba za Ellen G. White, kotero aliyense amene sakhulupirira Mzimu wa Ulosi wa Ellen G. White-ndipo (mwatsoka) palibe amene amachita kupatula Adventist okha-sadzatembenuzidwa ngakhale maulosi "owonjezera a m'Baibulo" akwaniritsidwa pamaso pawo. Sindinatembenukirenso ku Chikatolika ngakhale uneneri wamawonekedwe a Marian uyenera kukwaniritsidwa. Kulekeranji? Chifukwa sindikumvetsa nkhani yonse. Ndikudziwa kuti maulosi amenewa si a m’Baibulo choncho ndi onyenga, komanso kuti ndingodalira Baibulo limene ndi Mawu a Mulungu.
Ndimamva bwino powerenga ndi kuyerekeza kuti ntchito ya Ellen G. White ndi yomveka mwamtheradi m'Baibulo ndipo ndi dalitso; kuti sananenepo kapena kulemba chilichonse chotsutsana ndi Baibulo. Koma omwe si a Adventist alibe chidziwitso chozama ichi. Amangomvetsetsa zinthu pamlingo wa kamvedwe kawo ka Baibulo kosakwanira. Palibe choposa. Ngati kulira kwakukulu kumveka pansi pa chizunzo, sipadzakhalanso nthawi yotalikirapo yophunzira Baibulo mozama kuyerekeza ndi Mzimu wa Uneneri. Anthu sadzatembenuzidwanso mwa kuŵerenga buku limodzi kapena angapo amasamba 800. Palibe amene angakhale pansi ndi kuphunzira za “Mkangano Waukuru”, chifukwa cha masoka amene adzayendera dziko lathu lapansili. Zonse zidzachitika mofulumira kwambiri ndi pansi pa masautso aakulu!
Pa nthawi ya kulira kwakukulu, padzakhala funso limodzi lokha: Kodi ndani amene ali ndi mlandu chifukwa cha zowawa ndi zochitika zowopsya padziko lapansi, zomwe zilibe kufotokoza kulikonse kwa sayansi?
Ndipo padzakhala mayankho awiri osiyana ndi mafotokozedwe operekedwa ndi magulu awiri osiyana a anthu:
- Gulu loyamba lidzati: “Awo ndi olakwa amene amatsutsa gulu la mtendere ndi chitetezo padziko lonse lapansi ndipo akusunga Sabata la Baibulo m’malo mwa Tsiku la Mpumulo lodziŵika padziko lonse, Tsiku la Mtendere ndi Banja Lamlungu. Akunena za mkwiyo wa Yesu umene sungathe kuthetsedwanso, kaya ndi Mariya, oyera, kapena milungu.”
- Ndipo gulu lachiwiri lidzanena: “Awo ali ndi mlandu amene akusunga Lamlungu ngati Tsiku la Mpumulo motsutsana ndi lamulo la 4 la Mulungu, ndipo akuzunza ochepera a akhristu amene akufuna kusunga Malamulo Khumi oyambirira a Mulungu, Sabata. Chotero iwo akutsutsa mkwiyo wa Mulungu, chifukwa ‘akukhudza kamwana ka m’diso’ Lake, anthu Ake.
Magulu onse awiri adzakhulupirira kuti akulondola. Koma gulu limodzi lokha lidzazunza lina. Kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa maguluwa ndikuti wina azingokangana pomwe wina akupondereza ndi kulanga. Gulu limodzi lidzakhala ndi mphamvu zonse padziko lapansi ndikugwiritsa ntchito mwayi wa nthambi zamalamulo, zamalamulo, ndi akuluakulu aboma kuti atontholetse ngakhalenso kutheratu gulu linalo.
Gulu limodzi lokha ndilo limene lidzakhala lopanda mtendere weniweni ndipo silidzavulaza tsitsi limodzi pamutu pa aliyense, komabe iwo adzaimbidwa mlandu ndi ena kaamba ka mavuto onse padziko lapansi. Iwo ali a 144,000, amene adzakhala ndi a Adventist okhulupirika ochepa ndi awo amene akuchoka ku Babulo pa mphindi yomalizira. Ndifotokoza izi m'nkhani ina pambuyo pake, chifukwa kusamvetsetsana kwakukulu ndikwabwino kwambiri ndipo pali ulaliki wolakwika wokhudza izi. Padzakhala kagulu kakang’ono kokha ka anthu amene ali ndi chowonadi, ndipo adzazunzika ndi kuphedwa chifukwa cha icho, mofanana ndi Ambuye wawo, Yesu Kristu, zaka mazana ambiri m’mbuyomo. Koma amene akumvetsa zonsezo pamaso zochitikazo zidzayamba zidzawona gulu lomwe iwo ayenera kulowa nawo chitseko cha chifundo chisanatseke ngati iwonso akufuna kupulumutsidwa. Uku ndi kufuula kwakukulu: gulu lozunzidwa la anthu okonda mtendere omwe akufuna kuchita chinthu chimodzi chokha, chomwe ndi kumvera Mulungu wawo, amawononga zomwe zingatheke ... ngakhale moyo wawo. Zomwe sizinakwaniritsidwe mokwanira mzaka 2000 zakulalikira uthenga wabwino zidzakwaniritsidwa ndi gulu laling'ono la anthu. Chigamulo chomaliza cha munthu aliyense wokhalamo ngati akufuna kulowa m’gululi kapena ayi, chidzapangidwa. Aliyense adzakhala Otsatira kapena Otsatira. Ndiyeno mapeto adzafika!
Apanso, zonse zidzachitika monga momwe kunanenedwera! Padzakhala chizunzo chifukwa cha malamulo a Lamlungu, koma kudzutsidwa kwa anthu sikudzabwera kupyolera mu malamulo a Lamlungu iwo eni, koma kupyolera mu chizunzo ndi kuzunzika kwa anthu owerengeka ochepa omwe amangofuna kumvera ndi kukhala okhulupirika kwa Mulungu ndi Ambuye wawo.
Chifukwa chake, iyenera kuwonetsedwa mopangiratu kuti Baibulo mobwerezabwereza limalozera ku chizunzo cha oŵerengeka a mboni zokhulupirika za Yesu. Ziyenera kusonyezedwa kuti Baibulo limatiuza ndendende mmene magulu amphamvu adzakhazikitsira m’masiku otsiriza, amene adzaimirira pa chitsogozo cha boma la dziko lonse kugwirizanitsa maulamuliro aakulu atatuwo. Ngati titha kupeza zonsezi m'Baibulo ndikuwonetsanso kuti zikukwaniritsidwa tsopano pamaso pathu, ndi amene ndiye kuseri kwa zonsezi, ndiye kuti ambiri angazindikire kuti ndi gulu liti lomwe liri ndi udindo wa masautso onse: gulu lomwe lidzakhazikitse ulamuliro wa dziko lapansi ndikuyesera kuwononga ena. Gulu limene lidzakhala ndi mphamvu kwa kanthawi kochepa kuzunza ana a Mulungu ndi kuwapha lidzatenga mlandu.
Choncho, funso limakhala: ndani akukonzekera boma la dziko lapansi ndipo ndi ndani omwe ali ndi mphamvu zotsogolera? Ndipo chofunika kwambiri: kodi mapulani awo apita patsogolo bwanji? Zitenga nthawi yayitali bwanji kuti zonsezi zitheke?
Ife a Adventist tikudziwa kuchokera m'Baibulo ndi Mzimu wa Ulosi kuti maulamuliro awa ndi ndani: apapa ndi US, zomwe zidzalimbikitsa mayiko onse a dziko lapansi kuti asankhe papa kukhala mtsogoleri wawo "wakhalidwe". Koma sitikudziwa kuti kukonzekera kwa adani kwapita pati, chifukwa pafupifupi tonsefe tikuyembekezera mwachidwi pa "kuwala kobiriwira": Lamulo Lamlungu Ladziko Lapansi ku United States. Koma ine ndikuti: ndiye idzakhala mochedwa kufotokoza (kapena kunenera) kwa anthu kuti ochepa ozunzidwa adzakhala ndi choonadi, chifukwa ife tikanakhala kale tikuzunzidwa. Kulengeza kwa mphamvu yotsutsa kudzakhala kuti tikuzunzidwa chifukwa ndife mamembala a "gulu lachigawenga" lomwe limaphwanya malamulo a dziko kapena mayiko. Chotero, panthaŵiyo ndi oŵerengeka chabe amene angamvetsere zimene tinganene.
Mfungulo ya chipambano yagona mu mawu osavuta owopsa a Khristu:
Ndipo tsopano ndakuwuzani zisadachitike, kuti pamene chitachitika, mukakhulupirire. ((Yohane 14:29)
Ndikufuna kubwereza nkhani ya Ellen G. White yolembedwa mu nthawi yamavuto kwa mpingo. Ndikudziwa kuti sikunena mwachindunji lamulo la Lamlungu. Komabe, njira yomwe yatchulidwa apa yokumana ndi zoopsa ngati mpingo ndi yofanana pakuukira konse kwa adani:
A Iceberg! “Tikumane”
Ndisanatumize maumboni okhudza zoyesayesa za mdani kufooketsa maziko a chikhulupiriro chathu mwa kufalitsa nthanthi zonyengerera, ndinali nditaŵerengapo chochitika chonena za ngalawa mu chifunga chokumana ndi madzi oundana. Kwa mausiku angapo ndinagona pang’ono. Ndinakhala ngati ndawerama ngati ngolo imene ili pansi pa mitolo. Usiku wina chochitika chinaonekera bwino lomwe pamaso panga. Chotengera chinali pamadzi, mu chifunga chambiri. Mwadzidzidzi woyang'anirayo analira, "Iceberg ikubwera!" Kumeneko, pamwamba pa ngalawayo, panali phiri la madzi oundana. Liwu lovomerezeka linafuula, "Tikumane!" Panalibe kukayikira kwakanthawi. Inali nthawi yoti achitepo kanthu nthawi yomweyo. Wopanga injiniyo anawotcha nthunzi, ndipo munthu amene anali pa gudumuyo anawongolera ngalawayo molunjika pa madzi oundana. Ndi ngozi anagunda ayezi. Panali kunjenjemera koopsa, ndipo madzi oundanawo anang’ambika m’zidutswa zambiri, n’kugwa ndi phokoso ngati bingu pa sitimayo. Okwerawo anagwedezeka kwambiri ndi mphamvu ya ngoziyi, koma palibe amene anafa. Chombocho chinavulala, koma sichinathe kukonzedwa. Anayambanso kunjenjemera, akunjenjemera kuchokera ku tsinde kupita kumbuyo, ngati chamoyo. Kenako anapita patsogolo.
Chabwino ndinadziwa tanthauzo la kuyimira uku. Ndinali ndi malamulo anga. Ndinamva mawu, ngati mawu ochokera kwa Captain wathu, "Tikumane!" Ndinadziwa kuti ntchito yanga inali yotani, komanso kuti panalibe mphindi yotaya. Nthawi yoti tichitepo kanthu inali itakwana. Ndiyenera mosazengereza kumvera lamulo lakuti, “Tikumane nazo!”.
Usiku umenewo ndinali nditadzuka 1 koloko, ndikulemba mofulumira monga momwe dzanja langa lingadutse papepala. Kwa masiku angapo otsatira ndinagwira ntchito molawirira ndi mochedwa, kukonzekera anthu athu malangizo amene anandipatsa ponena za zolakwa zimene zinali kubwera pakati pathu.
Ndakhala ndikuyembekeza kuti padzakhala kukonzanso kotheratu, ndi kuti mfundo zomwe tinazimenyera masiku oyambirira, ndi zomwe zinatulutsidwa mu mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera, zidzasungidwa. {1SM 205.3-206.3}
Choyamba, ndikufuna kuti muzindikire kuti "adatumiza maumboni okhudza zoyesayesa za adani”. Adventist ambiri amatsutsa kuti si ntchito yathu kuyang'ana zomwe mdani amachita. Koma ndikuvomerezana ndi Ellen G. White kuti ndizowonanso (!) Zofunikira "kuneneratu za icebergs" mu fairway. Ndipo madzi oundana akuluakulu omwe amatiyembekezera ndi National Sunday Law ku US, chifukwa tikudziwa kuti nthawi yathu yokonzekera iyenera kumalizidwa kale. Kodi sizingakhale zabwino kwa ife kuti "tiyang'ane madzi oundana" mwachangu pang'ono kuti tipeze nthawi yotayika?
Kachiwiri, ndikuvomerezana ndi Ellen G. White kuti palibe njira yopewera madzi oundana. Zimenezo—monga momwe zinalili ndi Titanic—zikanangotsogolera ku chiwonongeko cha chombo (tchalitchi) ndi kuchimiza. Kugwirizana ndi mphamvu izi sizingatheke! Mwayi wokhawo ndi "nthunzi yochuluka kutsogolo kwa madzi oundana!" Ndimayesetsa kukumana nazo ndi tsamba langa laling'ono momwe ndalama zanga zing'onozing'ono zimalolezera. Ndinawona lamulo la Lamlungu, ndi "iceberg" wina, maonekedwe a Khristu wabodza, kuchokera kwa oyang'anira ndipo tsopano akuwombera belu la alamu ndikuwomba lipenga, kuti tithe kuyatsa injini ndikukumana ndi zopinga pa mphamvu zonse.
Kapena kodi tagunda kale madzi oundana osazindikira, ndipo "Titanic" yathu yang'ambika kale kuchokera ku tsinde kupita kumbuyo ndipo yatsala pang'ono kumira munyanja yachete yamuyaya? Kodi tadziona kukhala odzidalira kwambiri, kudalira okonza ndi kuganiza kuti tinali m'ngalawa yosamira? Kumeneku kungakhale kuzindikira koipa ndipo kungatanthauze kuti tifunikira kuchoka m’sitimayo—malinga ngati malo akadalipo m’mabwato opulumutsa anthu ochepa—Sitima ya Titanic inalibe chakudya chokwanira kuti okwera onse athaŵenso.
Pamene pa 10th ya July 2009 ndinalandira umboni wina wa kulondola kwa maphunziro anga akale, ndinasiya kukayikira ndikuyamba kugwira ntchito pa webusaitiyi. Ndikudziwa kuti ndachedwa kwambiri, koma mpingo wathu si mpingo umene umalandira “kuwala kwatsopano” mosavuta, ndichifukwa chake pafupifupi zaka zinayi zinadutsa ndisanayambe tsambali. Pakadali pano sindikufuna kutsindika kuti ndili ndi "kuwala kwatsopano", koma kungoti ndidawona zoopsa zomwe zimadziwika, ndipo ndikuganiza kuti ndikudziwa kuti tili kutali bwanji ndi kugunda. Koma ndiyeneranso kunena kuti ndinalibe nthawi yophweka ndi abale athu ndisanamalize kuti ndiyenera kufalitsa zomwe ndapeza pano. Ndi chosankha chozikidwa pa pemphero ndi chikhulupiriro mwa Mulungu. Aliyense amene angatsutse zomwe wawerenga apa ndikupemphedwa kuti andidzudzule ine ndekha ndikusiya mpingo wonse chifukwa sindichita mwachilolezo kapena chivomerezo chake. Sindimaukira, kuwongolera, kapena kukayikira chidziwitso chilichonse choyambirira chomwe chimamanga mizati yovomerezeka ya choonadi chamakono, koma mosiyana ndi zimenezo, wowerenga adzawona kuti chidziwitso chakale chimapanga maziko a chidziwitso chatsopano, ndipo "chidziwitso chatsopano" chimatsimikizira zakale.
Poyamba zomwe ndinapeza zinali zatsopano monga kudziwa kuti icebergs zilipo. Funso lokhalo linali lakuti: Kodi kugunda kudzachitika liti, kapena zachitika kale mosadziwika? Popeza ife monga mpingo tili ndi Mzimu wa Uneneri, ndiye kodi sitiyenera kuchenjeza mpingo ndi dziko usana ndi usiku monga Ellen G. White anachitira kuti kukumana ndi ziwopsezozi zomwe zikubwera m'tsogolo mwathu?
Ndinaphunzira mwakhama ndikuyang'ana malo anga. Mikhalidwe ya tchalitchi chathu ku South America posapita nthaŵi inandisonkhezera kufika kumene sindikanatha kudzizindikiritsanso. Sindikufuna kufotokoza pano zimene zinandichitikira, chifukwa ndikudziwa kuti pali abale ndi alongo ambiri oona mtima amene sindikufuna kuwakhumudwitsa. Koma sindinathe kumvetsa kuchuluka kwa machimo a anthu amene amaloledwa, makamaka mu utsogoleri wa Seventh-day Adventist Church. Zikuoneka kuti onse anakanthidwa ndi khungu. Ndinapempha Mulungu kuti andifotokozere. Ndinapemphera usana ndi usiku kwa miyezi yambiri, ngakhale zaka. Mwapang’onopang’ono Yehova anatsegula chitseko cha maphunziro ameneŵa, amene anatsogolera ku Koloko ya Mulungu mu Orion. Choyamba, ndinazindikira chimene chinali kuchitika Kumbuyo kwa mizere ya adani ndi kuti zisindikizo zisanu ndi ziwiri zinali kubwereza pambuyo pa 1844 pa chitsanzo cha "Yeriko" ndi kuti, monga Ellen G. White ananenera kawirikawiri, Mbiri Yakale Ikubwereza ndipo motero mipingo isanu ndi iwiri ikubwereza.
Ndinazindikira kuti m’kubwerezabwereza kwawo, chisindikizo chachiwiri ndi chachitatu momvekera bwino chikuimira Nkhondo zazikulu ziŵiri za Padziko Lonse, zimene zatchulidwanso mu Mateyu 24 ndi Luka 21. Koma kodi anali kuti ofera chikhulupiriro a ku Smurna mkati mwa mikhalidwe yathu mkati mwa nyengo imeneyo amene anafera chikhulupiriro chawo kusunga Malamulo Khumi, mogwirizana ndi kuzungulira koyamba kwa zisindikizo? Mafunso amenewa ndi ena otere anandikhumudwitsa kwambiri. Ndinayamba kuphunzira mbiri ya mpingo wa Adventist, ndipo ndinapeza mfundo zoopsa! Ndinagwedezeka mpaka pakati pa chikhulupiriro changa ndipo ndikuganiza kuti ambiri a inu mudzagwedezeka pamene muwerenga zomwe Mulungu ali nazo kutiwonetsa ife, makamaka, abale anga okondedwa, mu njira yowopsya yomwe Iye amachitira izo!
Ndinapeza malangizo achilendo mu maumboni a Ellen G. White. Mwachitsanzo:
Chaputala chachisanu cha Chivumbulutso chiyenera kuphunziridwa mosamalitsa. Ndilofunika kwambiri kwa iwo amene adzachita nawo ntchito ya Mulungu m’masiku otsiriza ano. Pali ena amene anyengedwa. Sazindikira zimene zikudza pa dziko lapansi. Iwo amene alola kuti maganizo awo asokonezeke pa zimene ndi tchimo, akusokeretsedwa mwamantha. Pokhapokha atapanga masinthidwe otsimikizirika adzapezeka osoŵa pamene Mulungu adzapereka chiweruzo pa ana a anthu. Iwo aphwanya lamulo ndi kuphwanya pangano losatha, ndipo adzalandira monga mwa ntchito zawo. {Zamgululi}
Ellen G. White analankhula za chinyengo cha gulu la anthu. Gulu ili ndi ndani? Mizere iyi ikunenedwa kwa ife monga Seventh-day Adventist. Kodi zingakhale kuti ena a ife ananyengedwa? Ndipo ngati ndi choncho, ndani? Kodi alipo amene akumvetsa tanthauzo la uthenga wachilendowu? Tsambali limapereka mayankho ndipo ndikupemphera kuti mukhale m'gulu la "akuusa moyo ndi kulira chifukwa cha zonyansa zochitidwa m’mudzi [mpingo wathu]”, chifukwa okhawo ndipo palibe amene adzalandira Chisindikizo cha Mulungu (malinga ndi Ezekieli 9).
Ndikukhulupirira kuti inu, m’bale wokondedwa, mlongo wokondedwa, mlendo wokondedwa wa tsambali, muphunzira ndi pemphero zimene ndafalitsa pano. Aliyense ali ndi udindo wake ndipo ayenera kumvera mawu ake amkati pozindikira choonadi. Ndikufuna kulola Mzimu wa Uneneri, umene mpingo wathu wadalitsidwa nawo kwambiri, ukutsogolereni mawu omaliza a nkhani yoyambilira iyi:
Chosowa cha Mpingo
Dziko ili kwa Akhristu dziko la alendo ndi adani. Pokhapokha ngati satenga chitetezo cha Mulungu ndi kugwiritsa ntchito lupanga la Mzimu adzakhala cholanda cha mphamvu za mdima. Chikhulupiriro cha onse chidzayesedwa. Onse adzayesedwa monga golide ayesedwa pamoto.
Mpingo wapangidwa ndi amuna ndi akazi opanda ungwiro, olakwa, amene amafuna kupitirizabe kusonyeza chikondi ndi kuleza mtima. Koma pakhala pali nthawi yayitali ya kufunda wamba; mzimu wachidziko ukubwera mu mpingo watsatiridwa ndi kutalikirana, kufufuza zolakwa, njiru, ndewu, ndi kusaweruzika.
Ngati pangakhale ulaliki wocheperako wa anthu amene ali osadzipatulira mu mtima ndi moyo, ndipo anali odzipereka nthawi yochuluka kudzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu, ndiye tiyembekezere kuti Yehova adzawonekera kwa thandizo lanu ndi kuchiza kubwerera kwanu. Zambiri mwa kulalikira mochedwa zimabweretsa chitetezo chabodza. Zokonda zofunika pa ntchito ya Mulungu sizingasamalidwe mwanzeru ndi awo amene anali ndi chiyanjano chenicheni chochepa ndi Mulungu monga momwe atumiki athu ena achitira. Kupereka ntchitoyo kwa amuna oterowo kuli ngati kuika ana kuti aziyang’anira zombo zazikulu zapanyanja. Iwo amene ali opanda nzeru yakumwamba, opanda mphamvu yakukhala ndi Mulungu, sali okhoza kuyendetsa chombo cha uthenga wabwino pakati pa madzi oundana ndi mafunde. Mpingo ukudutsa mu mikangano yoopsa, koma mu chiwopsezo chake ambiri angaukhulupirire iwo m'manja omwe angauwononge ndithu. Tikufuna woyendetsa ndege tsopano, chifukwa tikuyandikira doko. Monga anthu tiyenera kukhala kuunika kwa dziko lapansi. Koma angati ali anamwali opusa, opanda mafuta m’zotengera zawo pamodzi ndi nyali zawo. Ambuye wa chisomo chonse, wochuluka mu chifundo, wodzala ndi chikhululukiro, wachifundo ndi kutipulumutsa ife, kuti tisawonongeke pamodzi ndi oipa!
M’nyengo ino ya mikangano ndi mayesero tifunikira chichirikizo chonse ndi chitonthozo chimene tingachipeze ku mfundo zolungama, kuchokera ku zikhulupiriro zokhazikika zachipembedzo, kuchokera ku chitsimikizo chokhazikika cha chikondi cha Kristu, ndi kuchokera ku chokumana nacho cholemera mu zinthu zaumulungu. Tidzafika pa msinkhu wathunthu wa amuna ndi akazi mwa Khristu Yesu kokha ngati zotsatira za kukula kosalekeza kwa chisomo.
O, ndinganene chiyani kuti nditsegule maso akhungu, kuwunikira kumvetsetsa kwauzimu! Tchimo liyenera kupachikidwa. Kukonzanso kwathunthu kwa makhalidwe kuyenera kuchitidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera. Tiyenera kukhala ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, ndi chikhulupiriro chamoyo, chokhazikika. Uyu ndiye golide woyengedwa pamoto. Tikhoza kuchipeza kokha mwa Khristu. Aliyense wofunafuna moona mtima adzakhala otenga nawo gawo mu chikhalidwe cha umulungu. Moyo wake udzadzazidwa ndi chikhumbo chachikulu chofuna kudziwa chidzalo cha chikondi choposa chidziwitso; pamene akupita patsogolo m’moyo wa umulungu adzakhala wokhoza kumvetsetsa zokwezeka, zokwezeka za choonadi cha Mau a Mulungu, mpaka pakupenya iye amasandulika ndi kupatsidwa mphamvu yoonetsa chifaniziro cha Muomboli wake. {5T 104.2–105.2}
