Ndinofanira kuziva kuti kune vaya vashomanana vari kunze uko nokukurumidza vachaumba vane 144,000 XNUMX, vanonzwisisa inzwi raMwari rinobva kuOrion. Ndakaziva kuti vamwe vanhu vakatanga kuudza shamwari nemhuri dzavo shoko racho pasi rose, uye ndinovanyengeterera kuti muvengi asazovarwisa zvakanyanya!
Mweya weChiporofita unotiraira:
Kune zviitiko zvakawanda apo varume vakadzivirira chiKristu kune vanopokana mushure mezvo vakarasikirwa nemweya yavo vamene mumazakwatira ekusatenda. Vakabata marariya, uye vakafa pamweya. Vakanga vane zvibvumikiso zvakasimba nokuda kwezvokwadi, uye ufakazi huzhinji huri kunze, asi vakanga vasina kutenda kunogara muna Kristu. O, kune zviuru nezviuru zvevanozviti vaKristu vasingambodzidzi Bhaibheri! Dzidza shoko rinoera nemunamato, kuitira kuti mweya wako ubatsirwe. Ukanzwa shoko remuparidzi mupenyu, kana aine hukama mhenyu naMwari, unoona kuti Mweya neshoko zvinowirirana. {RH Kubvumbi 20, 1897 ndima. 13}
Munhu wose ane basa rekudzidza Shoko raMwari pachake uye kuona kana zvinhu zvakadaro. Panguva ino, zvinosuruvarisa, ndinofanira kukuzivisai mose kuti hakuna sangano reAdventist rakagamuchira zviri pamutemo shoko reOrion, uye kudivi reGeneral Conferences, hapana kana kufarira kudzidza Clock yaMwari neni kana vamwe. Sekuziva kwavazhinji, chechi yeSeventh-day Adventist iri kurambidza nhengo dzayo kuparadzira shoko munyika dzakawanda. Ini pachangu ndinoziva nezveGermany neAustria.
Kutanga muna Kubvumbi 2010, ndakashanyirwa nemufundisi aitungamirira weSeventh Day Adventist Reform Movement akandiudza pachena kuti General Conference yavo yakaramba shoko uye kuti havatombodi kutanga nhaurirano neni. Unogona kufungidzira kuti izvi zvinondiparadzanisa sei muboka rangu repamba. Tariro yangu yekupedzisira yaenda kuti chidzidzo cheOrion chigamuchirwe neimwe yekereke yakarongwa yeSeventh-day Adventist. Isu tinofanirwa kugamuchira zvakadzikama sarudzo dzeGeneral Conferences kuti dzivharwe pane chero nhaurirano, asi zvinopesana neChristian nebhaibheri mwero. Handidi kuramba ndiri pamusoro pechinyorwa ichi; nokuratidza zvivi zvavanhu vaMwari, zvakava pachena kubva pakutanga kuti shoko iri raizova nenharo. Hapana shoko rekutendeuka nekutsiura rakambofa—kana richazombofa rakagamuchirwa. Unogona kudzidza Bhaibheri rose kubva kuna Mosesi kusvika kuna Jesu wowana mienzaniso mizhinji apo mashoko aMwari kana vatumwa vakazvidzwa, vakanyaradzwa, uye pakupedzisira vakaurayiwa nevaizviti vanhu vake. (Ndapota verengawo Appendikisi E.)
Saka nhoroondo inodzokorora, hama dzinodiwa neshamwari! Mweya weChiporofita unotaura zvakare uyezve pamusoro pechinhu ichi:
Testamende Yekare neItsva dzakabatanidzwa pamwechete nechishongo chegoridhe chaMwari. Tinofanira kuziva Magwaro eTestamende Yekare. Kusapinduka kwaMwari kunofanira kuonekwa zvakajeka; kufanana kwekubata kwake nevanhu vake venguva yakapfuura neyezvino, kunofanira kudzidzwa. Mukufemerwa noMweya waMwari, Soromoni akanyora, kuti: “Izvo, zvakavapo, zvakanguva zvavapo; uye Mwari anotsvaka zvakaitika kare. Netsitsi Mwari anodzokorora kubata kwake kwekare. Akatipa chinyorwa chezvaakaita munguva yakapfuura. Izvi tinofanira kunyatsodzidza; nokuti nhoroondo iri kuzvidzokorora. Tinozvidavirira kudarika avo vane ruzivo rwakanyorwa muTestamente Yekare; nokuda kwezvikanganiso zvavo, uye miuyo yezvikanganiso izvozvo, zvakarongwa nokuda kwebetsero yedu. Chiratidzo chengozi chakasimudzwa kutichengeta kubva panzvimbo yakarambidzwa, uye tinofanira kunyeverwa kuti tisaite sezvavakaita, kutyira kuti chirango chakaipisisa chingauya patiri. Maropafadzo akapiwa kune avo vezvizvarwa zvakapfuura vakateerera Mwari akanyorwa kuti tigokurudzirwa kufamba takangwarira, mukutenda nekuteerera. Kutongwa kunounzwa kune vaiti vezvakaipa kunotsanangurwa kuti isu titye uye tidedere pamberi paMwari.
Inguva inoshandiswa zvakanaka kunzvera Magwaro; “Nokuti munofunga kuti mune upenyu husingaperi maari.” Uye Jesu anoti, “Ndivo vanopupura nezvangu.” Nebasa roMweya Mutsvene chokwadi chinozadzwa mupfungwa uye chinodhindwa mumwoyo wemudzidzi anoshingaira, anotya Mwari. Uye haangoropafadzwa chete nerudzi urwu rwebasa; mweya yaanoudza chokwadi, uye yaanofanira kuzvidavirira pane rimwe zuva, inokomborerwawo zvikuru. Avo vanoita kuti Mwari ave chipangamazano wavo vanokohwa goho rinokosha zvikuru sezvavanounganidza tsanga dzendarama dzezvokwadi kubva mushoko rake; nokuti Mudzidzisi wokudenga ari pedyo navo. Uyo anowana zvikwaniriso zvake nokuda kwoushumiri nenzira iyi achava nekodzero yechikomborero chakapikirwa kune uyo anotendeudzira vazhinji kukururama. {RH Kubvumbi 20, 1897 ndima. 14-15}
Izvi zvakanyorwa muna 1897 naEllen G. White. Gore rimwe gare gare, muna 1898, akanyora kuti:
Mumazuva aKristu vatungamiriri nevadzidzisi vaIsraeri vakanga vasina simba rokudzivisa basa raSatani. Vakanga vachiregeredza nzira bedzi yavaigona kudzivisa nayo midzimu yakaipa. Kwaiva neshoko raMwari kuti Kristu akakunda wakaipa. Vatungamiriri veIsraeri vaizviti ndivo vazivisi veshoko raMwari, asi vakanga vakaridzidza chete kuti vatsigire tsika dzavo, uye vasimbise tsika dzavo dzakaitwa nevanhu. Nekududzira kwavo vakaiita kuti itaure manzwiro ayo Mwari akanga asina kumbopa. Magadzirirwo avo akavanzika akaburitsa pachena izvo zvaAive ajekesa. Vakapokana pamusoro pezvinhu zvisina basa, uye vakaramba chokwadi chakakosha. Nokudaro kusavimbika kwakadyarwa kuparidzwa. Shoko raMwari rakatorerwa simba raro, uye mweya yakaipa yakaita kuda kwayo.
Nhoroondo iri kudzokorora. NeBhaibheri rakazaruka riri pamberi pavo, uye vachitaura kuti vanoremekedza dzidziso dzaro, vazhinji vavatungamiriri vorudzidziso venguva yedu vari kuparadza kutenda mariri seshoko raMwari. Vanozvibatikana nekutseura shoko, uye vanoisa mifungo yavo pamusoro pezvirevo zvaro zvakajeka. Mumaoko avo shoko raMwari rinorasikirwa nesimba raro rokuberekazve. Ndokusaka kunyengera kuchiita bope, uye kuipa kwawanda. {DA 257.3–258.1}
Mufundisi weSeventh Day Adventist Reform Movement akandiudza kuti General Conference yavo “yakasarudza” kuti zvisimbiso nemakereke zvisadzokorore shure kwa1844, uye naizvozvo zvidzidzo zvangu zvakanga zvisina hwaro. Pandakabvunza kana vakanga vadzidza nokunyengetera Joshua 5 ne6, akapindura kuti vakanga vadzidza nokunyengetera, asi haana kupindura mubvunzo wangu kana vakanga vanzwisisa muenzaniso wakapiwa nokukundwa kweJeriko. Nokudaro, ndinofanira kufunga kuti havana kumbonyatsodzidza hwaro hwebhaibheri hwezvidzidzo zvose izvi zvekudzokororwa kwezvisimbiso nemakereke. Tinofanira kunamata zvakanyanya tisati tavhura Bhaibheri! Asi kana tikangonamata uye tikasavhura Bhaibheri, hatingatarisiri kuti Mwari atipe chiedza kubudikidza naro.
Muchikamu chino, ndinoda kuratidza kushandisa muenzaniso weJeriko kuti zvisimbiso nemachechi zvechokwadi zvave zvichidzokorora kubvira 1844. Zvinofadza kuti Ellen G. White haana kunyora zvakawanda pamusoro pezvisimbiso nehwamanda. Ukatsvaga zvinyorwa zvake unoona kuti haana kumbobvira adudzira zvisimbiso, makereke kana mabhosvo asi ainyanya kuzvishandisa achireva homile. Akatisiyira dudziro yezvikamu zvakawanda zvebhuku raZvakazarurwa ndokutiudza kakawanda kuti tinofanira kudzidza Dhanieri naZvakazarurwa pamwe chete zvakadzama. Ndiani chaizvoizvo akatevera mirayiridzo yake muna ikoku?
Kutaura chokwadi, ndakashamiswa kuti Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement haina kubvuma kudzokororwa kwezvisimbiso nemachechi, nokuti makore 1914 na1936 (uye rimwe gore richaratidzwa munyaya yeramangwana) anonongedza zvakananga kune zviitiko zvavo zvikuru zvezvakaitika kare. Asi chokwadi chakanyanya kundishamisa ndechekuti mudzidziso dzavo, ivo pachavo vari kushandisa mashoko aEllen G. White ayo nhoroondo inodzokororwa, kunyanya nhoroondo yerudzi rwemaJuda iyo yavanoona ichidzokororwa mukutsauka kwekereke yeSeventh-day Adventist. Zvichida vakaziva kubvira pakutanga chaipo kuti Orion inoratidza “hombe” yeSeventh-day Adventist Church ichienderera mberi pashure pa1914 na1936, uye havadi kubvuma izvozvo nokuti ivo (zvisina kururama) vanofunga kuti ndivo chete uye chechi yaMwari.
Mumakumi emakore achangopfuura vakabudisa mabhuku akasiyana-siyana nemabhukwana panyaya iyi. Imwe yandiinayo muchimiro chayo chepakutanga chechiSpanish inonzi: “El Israel Antiguo y El Israel Moderno”—“The Ancient Israel and The Modern Israel”. Ndezvekufanana nekusiyana pakati peIsraeri munguva dzeBhaibheri naIsraeri wemweya inoumbwa nekereke yaMwari yemazuva edu. Kunyanya kuunganidzwa kwezvakatorwa kubva kuuchapupu hwaEllen G. White.
Pasina kushandura bhuku rose remapeji anenge 64, ndinongoda kuratidza pfungwa huru iyo Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement inotaura ipapo, nokuti inonyatsoongorora chokwadi chokuti Ellen G. White akanga akarurama mukutaura kuti nhoroondo inodzokorora. Ngatiteverei nhoroondo yevaIsiraeri vari vaviri mukutaura kweMweya weChiporofita:
1. Vose vakasarudzwa naMwari.
ISRAERI YAKARE:
Jehovha akadana vanhu vake Israeri akavatsaura kubva munyika kuti agovapa mugove unoyera. Akavaita vachengetedzi vemurairo Wake, uye Akagadzira, kuburikidza navo, kuchengetedza pakati pevanhu ruzivo pamusoro pake. Kupfurikidza navo chiedza chokudenga chaifanira kupenya kunzvimbo dzine rima dzapasi, uye inzwi raifanira kunzwika richikumbira vanhu vose kusiya kunamata zvidhori kwavo kuti vashumire Mwari mupenyu uye wechokwadi. Kudai vaHebheru vaiva vechokwadi pakuvimbwa kwavo, vangadai vakava nesimba munyika. Mwari angadai akava dziviriro yavo, uye angadai akavasimudzira pamusoro pemamwe marudzi ose. Chiedza chake nechokwadi zvingadai zvakaratidzwa kupfurikidza navo, uye vangadai vakamira pasi pokutonga Kwake kwokuchenjera noutsvene somuenzaniso woukuru hwehurumende Yake parudzi rwuri rwose rwokunamata zvidhori.
Asi havana kuchengeta sungano yavo naMwari. Vakatevera miitiro yokunamata zvidhori yamamwe marudzi, uye panzvimbo pokuita kuti zita roMusiki wavo rive rumbidzo mupasi nzira yavo yakariita kuti vazvidze vahedheni. Asi chinangwa chaMwari chinofanira kuitwa. Zivo yekuda Kwake inofanira kuparadzirwa pasi rose. {5T 454.2–455.1}
ISRAEL YEMAZUVA ANO:
Mwari vakadaidza kereke yavo muzuva rino, sekudaidza kwaVakaita Israeri yekare, kuti imire sechiedza panyika. Nemuzivi ane simba wezvokwadi, mashoko engirozi dzokutanga, dzechipiri, nedzechitatu, akavatsaura kubva kumakereke uye nenyika kuti avaunze pedyo naye tsvene. Akavaita vachengetedzi vemutemo wake uye akavapa zvokwadi huru dzechiporofita chenguva ino. Kufanana nemashoko matsvene akapiwa kuna Israeri wekare, aya ibasa rinoyera rinofanira kuziviswa kunyika. Ngirozi nhatu dzaZvakazarurwa 14 dzinomiririra vanhu vanogamuchira chiedza chemashoko aMwari voenda sevamiririri Vake kunozivisa nyevero muurefu nehupamhi hwepasi. {5T455.2}
2. Vose vanonokerwa.
ISRAERI YAKARE UYE YEMAZUVA ANO:
Kwakanga kusiri kuda kwaMwari kuti vaIsraeri vadzungaire murenje makore makumi mana; akashuva kuvatungamirira zvakananga kunyika yeKanani, ndokuvamisa ikoko, vanhu vatsvene, vanofara. Asi “havana kugona kupinda nokuda kwokusatenda.” [VAHE. 3:19.] Nemhaka yokudzokera shure uye kuramba kutenda, vakafira murenje, uye vamwe vakamutswa kuti vapinde munyika yechipikirwa. Nenzira yakafanana, kwakanga kusiri kuda kwaMwari kuti kuuya kwaKristu kunonoke kwenguva refu kudaro, uye vanhu vake vanofanira kugara makore akawanda kudaro munyika ino yechivi nokusuwa. Asi kusatenda kwakavaparadzanisa naMwari. Sezvavakaramba kuita basa raakanga avagadza, vamwe vakamutswa kuti vazivise shoko racho. Netsitsi kunyika, Jesu anononotsa kuuya kwake, kuti vatadzi vawane mukana wekunzwa nyevero, vawane maari pokuvanda kutsamwa kwaMwari kusati kwadururwa. {GC88}
3. Vose vanogunun’una.
ISRAERI YAKARE UYE YEMAZUVA ANO:
Ndakaona kuti vazhinji vanozviti vanotenda chokwadi chemazuva ano ekupedzisira, vanofunga zvinoshamisa kuti vana vaIsraeri vakanyunyuta pavaifamba; kuti mushure memabasa anoshamisa aMwari kwavari, vangave vasingaongi zvekukanganwa zvaakanga avaitira. Mutumwa akati, "Waita zvakaipa kupfuura ivo." {1T129.1}
4. Vese vari vaviri vanoda kudzokera kuIjipiti.
ISRAERI YAKARE:
Zvino vakataurirana vachiti: Ngativake mutungamiri; ngatidzokere Egipita. ( Numeri 14:4, XNUMX )
madzibaba edu wavakaramba kumuteerera, asi vakamusundira kure navo; uye mumwoyo yavo vakadzokerazve kuIjipiti. (Mabasa 7: 39)
ISRAEL YEMAZUVA ANO:
Ndinozadzwa neshungu pandinofunga nezvemamiriro edu sevanhu. Jehovha haana kutivharira denga, asi nzira yedu yekuramba tichidzokera shure kwakatiparadzanisa naMwari. Kuzvikudza, ruchiva, uye rudo rwenyika zvakagara mumwoyo pasina kutya kudzingwa kana kupiwa mhosva. Zvivi zvinorwadza uye zvokuzvikudza zvakagara pakati pedu. Uye zvakadaro pfungwa huru ndeyokuti chechi iri kubudirira uye kuti rugare nebudiriro yemweya zviri mumiganhu yayo yose.
Chechi yakarega kutevera Kristu Mutungamiriri wayo uye iri kuramba ichidzokera kuIjipiti. Asi vashoma vanotyiswa kana kushamiswa nokushaya kwavo simba romudzimu. Kupokana, uye kunyangwe kusatenda kupupura kweMweya waMwari, kuri kuvirisa makereke edu kwese kwese. Satani anozvida saizvozvo. Vashumiri vanoparidza ivo pachavo pachinzvimbo chaKristu vaizova nazvo saizvozvo. Zvipupuriro hazvina kuverengwa uye hazvikosheswi. Mwari vataura newe. Chiedza changa chichipenya kubva mushoko Rake uye kubva muuchapupu, uye zvose zvakazvidzwa nekuregeredzwa. Mhedzisiro inoonekwa mukushaikwa kwehutsvene nekuzvipira uye nekutenda kwechokwadi pakati pedu. {5T 217.1–2}
Kabhuku kanoenderera mberi uye kachienda mberi muzvitsauko 38 zvakafanana nezviri pamusoro kuenzanisa zvinyorwa zvaEllen G. White apo akataura zvakajeka kuti Israeri yemazuva ano (kereke yeSeventh-day Adventist) yakaita zvikanganiso zvakafanana neIsraeri yekare.
Zano raMwari nokuda kwevaIsraeri vekare rakanga riri rokusunungura vaIsraeri pajoko nousungwa hweEgipita ndokuvaunza vakananga kunyika yechipikirwa. Iyi ndiyo mhando yemubhaibheri yerwendo rwedu rwekuenda kudenga, kutanga muna 1844 sezvatakatsanangurirwa naEllen G. White. Ndosaka kwenguva yakareba muushumiri hwake aifunga kuti Jesu aizouya muzuva rake. Ndokumbira uverenge zvirevo zvake zvine chekuita nekariro yake yekuuya kwaJesu nekukurumidza mubhuku re "Zviitiko Zvezuva Rokupedzisira":
Ellen G. White Aitarisira Kudzoka kwaKristu muZuva Rake
Ndakaratidzwa company yaivepo paConference. Ngirozi yakati: “Zvimwe zvokudya zvehonye, vamwe vanotongwa nemadambudziko manomwe okupedzisira, vamwe vachava vapenyu uye vacharamba vari panyika kuti vashandurwe pakuuya kwaJesu.”— 1T 131, 1321856). {LDE 36.3}
Nokuti nguva ipfupi, tinofanira kushanda nesimba uye nesimba rakapetwa kaviri. Vana vedu vanogona kusambopinda kukoreji.--3T 159 (1872). {LDE 36.4}
Zvechokwadi hakusi kuchenjera kuita vana iye zvino. Nguva ipfupi, njodzi dzemazuva okupedzisira dziri pamusoro pedu, uye vana vaduku vachatsvairwa zvakanyanya izvi zvisati zvaitika.-- Tsamba 48, 1876. {LDE 36.5}
Muzera rino renyika, sezvo zviono zvenhau yapasi zvava pedyo kupfiga uye tave pedyo nokupinda munguva yenhamo isina kumbovapo, kana michato ishoma inobatanidzwa iri nani nokuda kwavose, vose vari vaviri varume navakadzi.— 5T 366 ( NW )1885). {LDE 37.1}
Nguva ichauya; haisi kure, uye vamwe vedu vanotenda zvino vachave vapenyu panyika, uye vachaona kufanotaura kuchisimbiswa, uye vachanzwa inzwi rengirozi huru nehwamanda yaMwari richiungira kubva mugomo nebani negungwa kusvikira kumigumo yenyika.— RH July 31 1888. {LDE 37.2}
Nguva yekuedzwa yangosvika patiri, nekuti kuchema kukuru kwemutumwa wechitatu kwakatotanga mukuratidzwa kwekururama kwaKristu, Mudzikinuri anoregerera zvivi.--1SM 363.1892). {LDE 37.3}
Tinofanira kushamisika: Chii chakadzivisa izvi zvakafanotaurwa naEllen G. White kuti zviitike? Mumakore ekuma1880 nema90s, mitemo yeSvondo (mitemo yebhuruu) yakanga ichipararira muUnited States yose. Kutenga kweSvondo kwakanga kwatorambidzwa munyika dzakawanda, uye zvaiva pachena kuti zviratidzo Ellen G. White aiva nazvo pamusoro peizvi zvakanga zvagadzirira kuzadzikiswa. Zvisinei, chimwe chinhu chakamisa mhepo ina kuti dzirege kusunungurwa. Takatoverenga kuti chaive chii:
Nenzira yakafanana, kwakanga kusiri kuda kwaMwari kuti kuuya kwaKristu kunonoke kwenguva refu kudaro, uye vanhu vake vanofanira kugara makore akawanda kudaro munyika ino yechivi nokusuwa. Asi kusatenda kwakavaparadzanisa naMwari. Sezvavakaramba kuita basa raakanga avagadza, vamwe vakamutswa kuti vazivise shoko racho. Netsitsi kunyika, Jesu anononotsa kuuya kwake, kuti vatadzi vawane mukana wekunzwa nyevero, vawane maari pokuvanda kutsamwa kwaMwari kusati kwadururwa. {GC88}
Vakanyora izvi mugore rine mukurumbira wakashata ra1888. General Conference Session yakaunza kukakavara muchechi. Vafundisi vaviri, Wagoner naJones, vakaunza shoko kuGeneral Conference iyi yakakamura kereke kuita mapoka maviri. Yaive message yekuti "Kururama kubudikidza nokutenda”. Asi chii chaiva chinetso pashoko racho? Makereke ese echiKristu akatenda mu“Kururama Nekutenda” kubvira kuna Martin Luther muzana ramakore rechi 16. Dambudziko nderekuti iyi ingori hafu yeshoko. Imwe hafu hainyanyi kutaurwa: "... nokuteerera mukutenda kumirairo yose nemirairo yaKristu". Shoko ra1888 raisanganisira kuteerera kwakasimba kuchinhu chose chinobuda mumuromo maMwari nevaporofita Vake; kwete kuti tiponeswe asi nokuti takaponeswa. Uye izvi zvinosanganisira kuteerera kumashoko akagamuchirwa naEllen G. White kubva kuna Mwari nokuda kwevanhu Vake: shoko rehutano uye zvose zvezvipupuriro zvake. Uye ipapo pakanga pane dambudziko. Vakasununguka vakanga vatosvika panzvimbo dzakakwirira muchechi panguva iyoyo, uye vakanga vasingadi kuwirirana nechikamu chechipiri chisingafadzi cheshoko ra1888 rakaunzwa naWagoner naJones. Shoko rakanga rava munzwa munyama yavo, saka shoko raifanira kunyangarika.
Mwoyo Weshoko raMwari Rokupedzisira
Ishe netsitsi Dzavo huru vakatumira shoko rinokoshesesa kuvanhu Vake kuburikidza naVakuru [EJ] Wagoner na[AT] Jones. Mharidzo iyi yaive yekuunza pachena pamberi penyika Muponesi akasimudzwa, chibayiro chezvitadzo zvenyika yose. Zvakaratidza kururamiswa kubudikidza nokutenda muChokwadi; yakakoka vanhu kuti vagamuchire kururama kwaKristu, icho chinoratidzwa mukuteerera kumirairo yose yaMwari. {LDE 200.1}
Vazhinji vakanga vasisaone Jesu. Vaifanira kunangidzirwa kumunhu Wake woumwari, maruramiro Ake, uye rudo Rwake rusingachinji nokuda kwemhuri yavanhu. Simba rose rakapiwa mumaoko Ake, kuti Agopa zvipo zvakapfuma kuvanhu, achipa chipo chinokosha chekururama Kwake kumunhu asingagoni kuzvibatsira. Iri ndiro shoko rakarairwa naMwari kuti ripiwe nyika. Ndiro shoko remutumwa wechitatu, richaparidzwa nenzwi guru. uye akashanda pamwe chete nokudururwa kwoMweya wake nokuwanda kukuru.--TM 91, 92 (1895). {LDE 200.2}
Shoko rokururama kwaKristu rinofanira kunzwika kubva kumugumo wenyika kuenda kune mumwe kugadzirira nzira yaShe. Uku ndiko kubwinya kwaMwari, kunovhara basa remutumwa wechitatu.--6T 19 (1900). {LDE 200.3}
Shoko rekupedzisira retsitsi richapihwa pasi rose kuratidzwa kwehunhu hwake hwerudo. Vana vaMwari vanofanira kuratidza kubwinya kwavo. Muhupenyu hwavo nehunhu hwavo vanofanira kuratidza zvavakaitirwa nenyasha dzaMwari.--COL 415, 416 (1900). {LDE 200.4}
Rakanga riri shoko romutumwa wechina aizovhenekera nyika yose nokubwinya kwake.
Nguva yomuedzo yatosvika, nokuti kuchema kukuru kwengirozi yechitatu kwatotanga mukuzarurwa kwe kururama kwaKristu, Mudzikinuri anoregerera zvivi. Uku ndiko kutanga kwechiedza chemutumwa ane kubwinya kuchazadza nyika yose. Nokuti ibasa remunhu wose akasvika shoko reyambiro, kusimudza Jesu, kuti amuunze kunyika sezvakaratidzwa mumifananidzo, semimvuri yemifananidzo, sezvakaratidzwa mune zvakazarurwa zvevaporofita, sezvakazarurwa muzvidzidzo zvakapiwa kuvadzidzi vake uye muzvishamiso zvinoshamisa zvakaitirwa vanakomana vevanhu. Nzverai Magwaro; nokuti ndivo vanopupura nezvake. {RH Mbudzi 22, 1892 ndima. 7}
Asi shoko ra1888 rakarambwa neGeneral Conference, ndosaka Jesu akatadza kuuya. Ellen G. White anoshandisa muenzaniso weIsraeri yekare zvakare kuratidza zvakaitika:
Varume vakaronzeswa basa rinoremas, asi vasina batano mhenyu naMwari, vave vachizvidza Mudzimu Wake Mutsvene uye vari kuramba. Vari vachitevedzera mudzimu mumwe chetewo sezvakaita Kora, Dhatani, naAbhirami, uye sezvakaita vaJudha mumazuva aKristu. (Ona Mateo 12:22-29, 31-37 .) Nyevero dzakabva dzabva kuna Mwari dzabvazve nokuda kwaava varume, asi ivo vakadzirasa ndokupfuurira munzira imwe cheteyo. {TM 78.2}
Dambudziko remazuva ekupedzisira riri pamusoro pedu. Satani anotora simba repfungwa dzese dzisiri pasi pesimba reMweya waMwari. Vamwe vave vachikudziridza kuvenga varume vakatumwa naMwari kuti vaendese shoko rinokosha kunyika. Vakatanga basa iri rasatani paMinneapolis. Shure kwaizvozvo vakati vaona nokunzwa chiratidzo choMweya Mutsvene, chichipupura kuti shoko rakanga riri raMwari, vakanyanya kuvenga, nokuti kwaiva kupupura kwavanhu. Vaisazozvininipisa mumwoyo yavo kuti vatendeuke, kuti vape mbiri kuna Mwari, uye vareverere zvakarurama. Vakafamba mumweya yavo, vakazadzwa negodo, negodo, nokufungira zvakaipa, sezvakaita vaJudha; Vakazarura mwoyo yavo kumuvengi waMwari nevanhu.

"Nhoroondo inodzokororwa." Mweya weChiporofita unotiyambira zvakare uyezve kuti tidzidze kubva kune zvakaitika kare zvenguva yedu yanhasi, asi vatungamiriri vazhinji havadi kudzidza nekuti vanongoshandira zvido zvavo. Ellen G. White anoenzanisa vatungamiri vakaramba shoko ra1888 nekupanduka kwaKora, Dhatani, naAbiramu, uye kuguma kwavo kwaiva neruoko rweWemasimbaose. Iyi nhoroondo ichadzokororwa zvakare munguva pfupi iri kutevera here?
Makore mashanu izvi zvisati zvaitika, Ellen G. White akanga atonyevera kuti chinangwa chakanga chava kuda kupotsa:
Vakaita kuti vaAdventist mushure mekuodzwa mwoyo kukuru muna 1844 vabate zvakasimba kutenda kwavo uye vakatevera vakabatana mukupa Mwari kwekutanga, vachigamuchira shoko remutumwa wechitatu. uye nesimba roMweya Mutsvene vachichizivisa kunyika, vangadai vakaona ruponeso rwaMwari, Ishe vangadai vashanda nesimba nekuedza kwavo, basa ringadai rakapedzwa, uye Kristu angadai akauya izvi zvisati zvaitika kuti agamuchire vanhu vake kumubairo wavo. . . . Kwakanga kusiri kuda kwaMwari kuti kuuya kwaKristu kunonoke saizvozvo. . . . {LDE 37.5}
Kwemakore makumi mana kusatenda, kugunun’una, uye kupandukira kwakavharira vaIsraeri vekare munyika yeKenani. Zvivi zvimwe chetezvo zvakanonotsa kupinda kwaIsraeri wazvino uno muKanani yokudenga. Chero zvazvingava zvipikirwa zvaMwari zvakanga zvisina mhosva. Kusatenda, kusada zvenyika, kusazvinatsa, negakava pakati pevanozviti vanhu vaShe ndizvo zvakatichengeta munyika ino yezvivi nekusuwa makore mazhinji..--Ev 695, 696 (1883). {LDE 38.1}
Zvino zvatava kuziva zvikonzero nei Israeri yemazuva ano, kereke yeSeventh-day Adventist, yakakundikana kupinda muKenani (denga) munguva yaEllen G. White, tinonzwisisa kuodzwa mwoyo kwake nevanhu. Akadanwa naMwari kuti ashande senhume kuti agadzirire nzira yekuuya kwechipiri kwaShe, sekudanwa kwaJohane Mubapatidzi kugadzirira nzira yekuuya kwaKristu kwekutanga. Mosesi, uyo akatungamirira Israeri yekare, akakundikana kupinda muKenani sezvakaita Ellen G. White, akatungamirira kereke yeSeventh-day Adventist muna 1888. Akakundikana kupinda denga maererano nehurongwa hwaMwari nokuda kwekuva kwavo kwenyika.
Hakungavi kuchenjera here kuti tidzidze zvakadzama kuti mutungamiriri akatevera waIsraeri wekare akazokwanisa sei kupinda muKenani? Mushure mekufanana kwese pakati peIsraeri yekare neyazvino izvo zvatinoratidzwa neMweya weChiporofita, hazvingave zvingaite here kuti “nhoroondo idzokorore zvakare,” zvakare?
Ndiani aiva mutungamiriri weIsraeri akakwanisa kupinda muKenani? Joshua! Nyaya yemutungamiriri uyu weIsraeri yekare akabudirira yakanyorwa mubhuku rine zita rake. Pashure pemakore 40 okudzungaira murenje, vanenge vose vakanga vaona kupandukira Mwari pavakasvika kuKanani kwokutanga vakanga vafa. Karebhu naJoshua chete ndivo vakasara. Mosesi akaisa maoko ake pamusoro paJoshua uye neMweya waMwari akamusimbisa semutsivi wake uye mutungamiriri aitevera wevanhu vaMwari.
Havasi vanhu vazhinji vakanyatsoverenga sumo yechiratidzo chekutanga chaEllen G. White uye kuti anobatanidza sei Joshua naKarebhi uye mushumo wavo kubva kuKenani kuchiono chake chekudenga:
Sezvo Mwari akandiratidza nzendo dzevanhu veAdvent kuGuta Dzvene uye mubairo wakapfuma unopihwa avo vanomirira kudzoka kwaIshe wavo kubva kumuchato, ringava basa rangu kukupa pfupiso pfupi yezvandakaratidzwa naMwari. Vatsvene vanodiwa vane zviedzo zvakawanda zvekupfuura nemazviri. Asi kutambudzika kwedu kwakareruka, kuripo chinguva chiduku, kuchatiitira kubwinya kukuru kwakaisvo-naka uye kusingaperi, tisingatariri zvinoonekwa, nokuti zvinovonekwa ndezvenguva duku, asi zvisingaonekwi zvinogara nokusingaperi. Ndakaedza kudzosa mushumo wakanaka namazambiringa mashomanene anobva kuKanani yokudenga, izvo vazhinji vaizonditema nokuda kwezvizvi, sezvo ungano yakazivisa dombo Karebhi naJoshua nokuda kwomushumo wavo. ( Num. 14:10 . ) Asi ndinokuudzai, hama dzangu muna Jehovha, kuti inyika yakanaka kwazvo, uye tinogona kwazvo kukwira kundoitora. {EW13.3}
Pane uchapupu hwakajeka hwokuti tinofanira kunyatsoongorora zvakaitika naJoshua pakukundwa chaiko kweKenani. Ellen G. White akatotiraira kuti tiite saizvozvo:
ndichava newe, handingakuregi kana kukusiya. Joshua 1:5.
Nyatsodzidza zviitiko zveIsraeri munzendo dzavo dzekuenda kuKenani. . . . Tinofanira kuchengeta mwoyo nepfungwa mukudzidziswa, nekuzorodza ndangariro nezvidzidzo izvo Ishe vakadzidzisa vanhu Vavo vakare. Ipapo kwatiri, sezvaakaita kuti zvidaro kwavari, dzidziso dzeShoko rake dzichagara dzichinakidza uye dzinoorora.
Joshua paakabuda mangwanani asati akunda Jeriko, murwi akanga akagadzirira kurwa akazviratidza pamberi pake. Joshua akati, Uri mumwe wedu here, kana wavavengi vedu? iye akapindura, akati, Ini zvino ndauya ini mukuru wehondo yaShe. Kana meso aJoshua akasvinudzwa semeso omuranda waErisha paDhotani, uye aigona kutsungirira kuona, angadai akaona vatumwa vaJehovha vakakomba vana vaIsraeri; nokuti hondo yakadzidziswa yokudenga yakanga yauya kuzorwira vanhu vaMwari. Mukuru wehondo yaJehovha akanga aripo kuti araire. Jeriko parakawa, hakuna ruoko rwomunhu rwakabata masvingo eguta, nokuti vatumwa vaJehovha vakakoromora nhare, vakapinda munhare yomuvengi. Yakanga isiri Israeri, asi Mutungamiriri wehondo yaJehovha akatora Jeriko. Asi vaIsraeri vaive nechikamu chavo chekuita kuratidza kutenda kwavo muMutungamiriri weruponeso rwavo.
Hondo dzinofanira kurwiwa zuva nezuva. Hondo huru iri kuitika pamusoro pemweya wese, pakati pemuchinda werima neMuchinda wehupenyu. . . . Sevamiririri vaMwari munofanira kuzvipira kwaAri, kuti Iye akurongei nokutungamirira nokukurwirai hondo yacho, pamwe chete nemi. Muchinda weupenyu ari pamusoro pebasa rake. Anofanira kuva newe muhondo yako yezuva nezuva iwe pachako, kuti iwe uve wechokwadi kumitemo; kuti shungu, pakurwa pakukunda, ukudzwe nenyasha dzaKristu; kuti mubude nokupfuurisa mukundi naiye wakatida. Jesu anga ari pamusoro penyika. Anoziva simba remuyedzo wese. Anoziva nzira yekusangana nayo yese yekukurumidzira, uye nzira yekukutungamira munzira yese yengozi. Saka wadii kuvimba Naye? {QC 117.1-4}
Zvino ngativerengei nyaya yose yekukundwa kweJeriko sezvakataurwa neMweya weChiporofita ichinyatsoenderana neBhaibheri. Kutanga, tinodzidza kuti Joshua akasangana “nemurume anokosha kwazvo”:
Sezvo Joshua akasiya mauto evaIsraeri, kuti afungisise uye anyengetere kuti kuvapo kwaMwari kunokosha kuti kumubatire, akaona murume akareba kwazvo, akapfeka nguo dzehondo, aine munondo wake wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake. Joshua haana kumuziva somumwe wemauto aIsraeri, asi akanga asingaratidziki somuvengi. Mukushingaira kwake akamubata, akati, Uri mumwe wedu here, kana wavavengi vedu? Iye akati, Kwete; asi ndauya ini mukuru wehondo yaJehovha. Joshua akawira pasi nechiso chake, akanamata, akati kwaari, Ishe wangu unoreveiko kumuranda wake? Mukuru wehondo yaJehovha akati kuna Joshua, Bvisa shangu yako parutsoka rwako; nekuti nzvimbo yaumire pairi itsvene. Joshua akaita saizvozvo.”
Iyi yakanga isiri ngirozi yakajairika. Akanga ari Ishe Jesu Kristu, akanga atungamirira vaHebheru murenje, akafukidzwa neshongwe yomoto usiku, uye shongwe yegore masikati. Nzvimbo iyi yakaitwa tsvene nokuvapo kwake, naizvozvo Joshua akarairwa kuti abvise shangu dzake. {1SP 347.3–348.1}
Ngirozi yacho yaiva Jesu, uye Joshua akarayirwa kuti abvise shangu dzake. Izvi zvinorevei chaizvo? Chinyorwa chinoenderera mberi:
Gwenzi raipfuta rakaonekwa naMosesi chaivewo chiratidzo cheHupo hwaMwari; zvino wakati achiswedera kuti aone chiratidzo chinoshamisa, inzwi rimwe chete iro rinotaura kuna Joshua, rakati kuna Mozisi, Usaswedera pano; Bvisa shangu dzako patsoka dzako; nokuti nzvimbo yaumire pairi ivhu dzvene.
Kubwinya kwaMwari kutsvenesa nzvimbo tsvene; uye nechikonzero ichi vapirisita havana kumbopinda munzvimbo yakacheneswa nehuvepo hwaMwari neshangu mutsoka dzavo. Zvimedu zveguruva zvinogona kunamatira kune shangu dzavo, izvo zvingasvibisa nzvimbo tsvene; saka vapristi vaifanira kudaro vasiye shangu dzavo mudare, asati apinda munzvimbo tsvene. Paruvanze, parutivi pomukova wetabhenakeri, pakanga pane dhishi rendarira, umo vapristi vaishamba maoko avo netsoka dzavo mariri vasati vapinda mutabhenakeri, kuti tsvina yose ibviswe, kuti varege kufa. Vose vaibatira munzvimbo tsvene vaidikanirwa kuti Mwari vaite gadziriro chaidzo vasati vapinda umo mbiri yaMwari yakaratidzwa. {1SP 348.2–3}
Mosesi naJoshua ndivo vanhu bedzi muBhaibheri vakarayirwa kubvisa shangu dzavo nokuti vaipinda munzvimbo tsvene yokudenga maiva nokuvapo kwaJesu Kristu. Ndapota cherechedza kuti shangu dzakasiiwa mudare! Zvazvinoreva izvi ndezvekuti zvinhu izvo Jesu akanga oda kuudza Joshua zvaizoitika nenzira yokufananidzira munzvimbo tsvene.
Kuti ape pfungwa yaJoshua kuti akanga asiri mudiki kuna Kristu, akakwidziridzwa, anoti, “Bvisa shangu yako parutsoka rwako.” Jehovha akabva arayira Joshua nzira yaaifanira kuita kuti atore Jeriko. Varume vose vehondo vanofanira kurayirwa kuti vatenderere guta kamwe chete pazuva kwemazuva matanhatu, uye pazuva rechinomwe vanofanira kutenderera Jeriko kanomwe. {1SP 348.4}
Jesu pachake anotsanangurira Joshua kuti Jeriko richakundwa sei. Jeriko rinofananidzira masvingo anotiparadzanisa neguta rokudenga, Jerusarema Idzva. Kana rusvingo rwechivi urwu ruchidonha, tingadai tisina kupinda kudenga. Izvi zvichaitika pakuuya kwechipiri kwaJesu. Zvisinei, izvozvo zvisati zvaitika, Jesu akatsanangurira Joshua kuti Jeriko rinofanira kukomberedzwa sei, uye izvi zvinokosha zvikuru zvokufananidzira kwatiri nhasi.
“Zvino Joshua, mwanakomana waNuni, akadana vaprista, akati kwavari. Simudzai areka yesungano, vaprista vanomwe vatakure hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondobwe pamberi peareka yaJehovha. Akati kuvanhu, Pfuurai, mupoteredze guta, varume vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa vatungamirire areka yaJehovha. Zvino Joshua wakati ataura navanhu, vapristi vanomwe vakanga vakabata hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondobwe vakapfuura pamberi paJehovha; akaridza hwamanda; areka yesungano yaJehovha yakavatevera. Varume vakanga vakashonga nhumbi dzokurwa vakatungamirira vapristi vakanga vachiridza hwamanda, navarindi veshure vakatevera areka, vapristi vakafamba vachingoridza hwamanda. Zvino Joshua akaraira vanhu, akati, Regai kudanidzira, kana kudanidzira namanzwi enyu, kana shoko rimwe ngarirege kubuda pamiromo yenyu, kusvikira pamusi wandinokurairai kuti mudanidzire; ipapo muchadanidzira. Naizvozvo areka yaJehovha yaipoterera guta, ichipoterera kamwe chete; vakapinda mumisasa, vakavatamo. {1SP 349.1}
Ellen G. White anobatanidza kufamba uku kwakapoteredza Jeriko, kurira kwehwamanda, uye kutakura areka yesungano zvakananga nesu seSeventh-day Adventist mu“Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers”:
Satani akaisa chiyero chose chinogoneka kuti hapana chingauye pakati pedu sevanhu kutitsiura nokutitsiura, nokutikurudzira kuti tibvise kukanganisa kwedu. Asi kune vanhu vachatakura areka yaMwari. Vamwe vachabuda pakati pedu vasingazotakuri areka. Asi izvi hazvigoni kuita masvingo ekuvhiringidza chokwadi; nokuti zvichaenda mberi zvichikwira kusvikira pakuguma. Kare Mwari akamutsa vanhu, uye Achiri nevarume vane mukana wakamirira, vakagadzirira kuita kuda Kwake—vanhu vachapfuura nomuzvirambidzo zvinongova semadziro akanamwa nedhaka risingadzoreki. Kana Mwari aisa Mweya wake pavanhu, vachashanda. Vachaparidza shoko raJehovha; vachadanidzira sehwamanda. Chokwadi hachizodzikisirwi kana kurasikirwa nesimba racho mumaoko avo. Vachazivisa vanhu kudarika kwavo, neimba yaJakove zvivi zvavo. {TM 411.1}
Nhoroondo yekukundwa kweJeriko inoenderera mberi:
Hondo yechiHebheru yakafamba zvakarongeka. Kutanga kwakaenda boka rakasarudzwa ravarume vakashongedzerwa nezvombo, vakapfeka zvipfeko zvavo zvehondo, kwete zvino kuti vashandise unyanzvi hwavo muzvombo, asi kungodavira nokuteerera nhungamiro dzavakapiwa. Vakatevera vaprista vanomwe vane hwamanda. Ipapo kwakauya areka yaMwari, yaibwinya nendarama, kubwinya kwokubwinya kwaiyerera pamusoro payo, yakatakurwa navaprista vakapfeka nhumbi dzavo dzakashongedzwa nedzakasiyana-siyana dzinoratidzira basa ravo rinoyera. Uto guru revaIsraeri rakatevera munhevedzano yakakwana, dzinza rimwe nerimwe riri pasi pomureza waro. Naizvozvo vakakomba guta neareka yaMwari. Hakuna inzwi rakanzwika, asi kufamba kwehondo iyo huru, nenzwi guru rehwamanda, richirira pazvikomo, richirira muguta reJeriko. Vatariri veguta iro roparadzwa vanocherechedza kufamba kwose nokushamiswa uye nokushamiswa, uye vanoudza avo vane simba. Havagoni kutaura kuti kuratidzwa uku kunorevei. Vamwe vanoseka pfungwa yokutorwa kweguta nenzira iyi, nepo vamwe vachikatyamadzwa, sezvavanoona kubwinya kweareka, uye chitarisiko chakakomba uye chinokudzwa chevapristi, nehondo yaIsraeri ichitevera, Joshua ari mukuru wavo. Vanoyeuka kuti Gungwa Dzvuku, makore makumi mana pamberi pavo, rakaparadzana pamberi pavo, uye kuti nzira yakanga ichangobva kugadzirirwa nokuda kwavo nomurwizi rwaJoridhani. Vanonyanya kutya zvekutamba. Vanoomesa zvakasimba kuti masuo eguta arambe akavharwa, uye varwi vane simba vanorinda suo rimwe nerimwe. Kwemazuva matanhatu, mauto evaIsraeri anotenderera guta racho. Pazuva rechinomwe, vakapoterera Jeriko kanomwe. Vanhu vakanzi vanyarare semazuva ese. Inzwi rehwamanda chete ndiro raifanira kunzwika. Vanhu vakacherekedza, uye kana varidzi vehwamanda vakaridza nguva refu kupfuura nguva dzose, ipapo vose vaifanira kudanidzira nenzwi guru, nokuti Mwari akanga avapa guta. “Zvino nezuva rechinomwe vakamuka mangwanani, utonga huchitsvuka, vakakomba guta kanomwe; nezuva iro chete vakapoteredza guta kanomwe. Zvino panguva yechinomwe, vapristi vakati vachiridza hwamanda, Joshua akati kuvanhu, Danidzirai; nekuti Jehovha wakupai guta. “Saka vanhu vakadanidzira vaprista pavakaridza hwamanda.

Mwari aida kuratidza vaIsraeri kuti kukundwa kweKenani kwaisafanira kutorwa kwavari. Mukuru wehondo yaJehovha akakunda Jeriko. Iye nengirozi dzake vakanga vabatanidzwa mukukunda. Kristu akaraira mauto eKudenga kuti aputsire masvingo eJeriko pasi, uye agadzirire Joshua nehondo dzeIsraeri pokupinda napo. Mwari, muchishamiso ichi chinoshamisa, haana kungosimbisa bedzi kutenda kwavanhu vake musimba rake rokukurira vavengi vavo, asi akatsiura kusatenda kwavo kwekare.
Jeriko rakanga rashora mauto eIsraeri naMwari weKudenga. Zvino vakati vachiona hondo yavaIsiraeri ichitenderera guta ravo kamwe chete pazuva, vakavhunduka; asi vakatarisa dziviriro dzavo dzakasimba, madziro adzo akasimba uye marefu, uye vakanzwa chokwadi chokuti vaigona kudzivisa kurwiswa kupi nokupi. Asi apo masvingo avo akasimba akazununguka kamwe kamwe ndokuwa, nokubondera kunoshamisa, sokutinhira kukurusa, vakaoma mitezo nokutya, uye havana kukwanisa kudzivisa. {1SP 349.2–351.2}
Zvino ngatidzokororei zvatadzidza:
Jesu anozvipa kuna Joshua nemunondo seMutungamiriri wehondo yekudenga uye anotanga kuudza Joshua kuti abvise shangu dzake:
Zvino Joshua wakati ari Jeriko akasimudza meso ake, akatarira, akaona murume amire pakatarisana naye. akabata munondo wakavhomorwa muruoko rwakeJoshua akaenda kwaari, akati kwaari, Uri mumwe wedu here, kana wavavengi vedu? Iye akati, Kwete; asi ndauya ini mukuru wehondo yaJehovha. Joshua akawira pasi nechiso chake, akanamata, akati kwaari, Ishe wangu unoreveiko kumuranda wake? Mukuru wehondo yaJehovha akati kuna Joshua, Bvisa shangu yako parutsoka rwako, nekuti paumire patsvene; nekuti nzvimbo yaumire pairi itsvene. Joshua akaita saizvozvo. ( Joshua 5:13-15 )
Kuti tinzwisise kuti ndeipi nguva yenguva inonongedza kwairi, tinofanira kuongorora zvese zvinofananidzira zvinopihwa pano. Tinonzwisisa kuti ndiJesu pachake ari kutaura naJoshua, asi Anoratidzawo nguva yakakosha zvikuru munhoroondo. Chiitiko ichi chisati chaitika, vaIsraeri vakanga vayambuka Jorodhani ( Joshua 5:1 ), vakanga vachangobva kudzingiswa ( Joshua 5:3-8 ), vakagadzirira Paseka, uye vakachinja zvokudya zvavo kubva pamana kuenda kuzviyo nemichero yenyika yeKenani. Zvose izvi zviratidzo zvekugamuchirwa kwechibayiro chaJesu Kristu, rufu rwake pamuchinjikwa nokuda kwedu. Rugwaro rwacho harutauri kuti kwapera mazuva mangani vaIsraeri vachengeta Paseka kusvikira Joshua aona Jesu akamira pamberi peJeriko akabata bakatwa muruoko, asi tinogona kufungidzira kuti Paseka yaifananidzira kufa uye kumuka kwaJesu inguva yakareba sei. Mazuva 40 akapfuura Jesu asati aenda kudenga. Jesu paakasvika kudenga, akatanga hushumiri hwake hwokutanga ari munzvimbo tsvene yokudenga mugore ra AD 31, uye maAdventist ose anofanira kuziva kuti iyi yakanga iri munzvimbo tsvene yenzvimbo tsvene yokudenga. Uhwu hwakanga huri hushumiri hwake hwemupristi mukuru wekutanga.
Paakaraira Joshua kuti abvise shangu dzake, Jesu aitaura kwatiri chaipo patiri mukuyerera kwenhoroondo yechiKristu. Vapristi vaifanira kubvisa shangu dzavo pavakapinda munzvimbo tsvene, vachisiya shangu dzavo mudare sezvatakamboona. Ikoku kunogona bedzi kureva kuti izvo Jesu achataura kubvira panguva iyoyo zvichienda mberi zvichavamba apo Jesu akapinda muNzvimbo Tsvene mugore ra31. Iyi ndiyo nguva yakatsanangurwa mundima imwe nomuapostora Pauro mutsamba yake kuvaHebheru:
kwete neropa rembudzi neremhuru, asi neropa rake akapinda panzvimbo tsvene kamwe chete, akatiwanira rudzikinuro rusingaperi. ((VaHebheru 9:12)
Uye Jesu anoudzei Joshua nesu iye zvino? Chii chaaifanira kuita kuti tikunde Jeriko tigopinda muKenani/Denga?
Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, Tarira, ndakapa mumaoko ako Jeriko, namambo waro, navarume varo vane simba noumhare. Munofanira kukomba guta, imwi varume vose vehondo, mupoteredze guta kamwe chete. Unofanira kuita saizvozvo mazuva matanhatu. Vapristi vanomwe vanofanira kufamba pamberi peareka vakabata hwamanda nomwe dzenyanga dzamakondobwe; nezuva rechinomwe munofanira kupoteredza guta kanomwe; vapristi vanofanira kuridza hwamanda. Zvino kana vachiridza hwamanda nguva refu, kana mukanzwa kurira kwehwamanda, vanhu vose vanofanira kudanidzira nokudanidzira kukuru; uye rusvingo rweguta ruchakoromoka chose, uye vanhu vachakwira, mumwe nomumwe pakatarisana naye. ( Joshua 6:2-5 )
Jesu ari kurondedzera pano nhoroondo yose yavanhu Vake kubva panguva yaakapinda muNzvimbo Tsvene yenzvimbo tsvene yokudenga mugore ra31 zvichienda mberi kusvikira kukurirwa chaikoiko kwedenga. Panofanira kuva nekufamba kutanhatu mumazuva matanhatu okutanga uyezve kufora kunomwe pazuva rechinomwe. Iyi ndiyo nheyo yekunzwisisa kwese kwekudzokororwa kwezvisimbiso, makereke, uye kunyange nehwamanda sezvatichaona munyaya inotevera. Mukududzirwa kwechinyakare kweAdventist, takangosvika pakupera kwezuva rechitanhatu!
Sezvo tichiziva dzidziso yenzvimbo tsvene, nhasi tinonzwisisa kuti Jesu akabva muNzvimbo Tsvene achienda muNzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene muna 1844. Akatanga basa rake rechipiri neushumiri muNzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene: kucheneswa kwenzvimbo tsvene yokudenga. Iri ndiro zuva rekupedzisira renhoroondo yenyika. zuva rokutongwa kudenga; zuva rechinomwe pakukundwa kweJeriko. Jesu anotsanangura kuti kufamba kwakapoteredza Jeriko kunofanira kudzokororwazve pazuva iroro: nezuva rechinomwe munofanira kupoteredza guta kanomwe.
