Kwenguva yakareba ndakanga ndisingade kutanga iyi webhusaiti uye kuiburitsa paInternet. Kubva 2005, ndakanga ndakurukura nehama nehanzvadzi dzechechi yedu zvinhu zvandinotenda kuti ndakawana kuburikidza nekucherechedza zviitiko zvenyika uye zvidzidzo zveBhaibheri, kunyanya zvechiporofita. Zvidzidzo zvangu zvairatidza kuti yakanga yasvika nguva yokugadzirira kuchema kukuru uye kusiya maguta, ndichiri kusvika kwavari. Nekudaro, mhinduro yakajairika yaive: “Hongu, zvinofadza chaizvo. Tichaona kana wataura chokwadi." Uye ndizvo chete izvo ruzhinji rwaifanira kutaura.
Hapana akadaira. Hapana akaona kuti zvese zvakanga zvaparidzwa kubva muna 1844 zvakanga zvava kutouya pamberi pedu, Seventh-day Adventist Church nenyika yose. “Mhandara” dzose dzakanga dzarara sezvairatidzwa naJesu mumufananidzo wacho. Vashomanene zvikuru vaida kuziva patakanga tiri chaizvoizvo mukuyerera kwenguva youporofita. Kwaingova nehama shomanene muCanada idzo dzakafunda nokushingaira dzine udzame hwenguva yezvinoitika zvokupedzisira zvikuru. Zvisinei, hurongwa hwavo hwemazuva hwakanga husina simba nekuti hwakatanga mazuva 295 chaiwo pamberi pekuziviswa kwemutemo weSvondo muUS uye hazvina kubatsira kana waida kuziva kuti mutemo weSvondo uri kure zvakadii. Hapana aiziva kuti mazuva 295—uye nokudaro purogiramu yose yenguva—yaizotanga rini. Zvakadaro, ruzhinji rwakafunga kuti kuverenga kwakadaro kwaizova kusiri kwebhaibheri uye kunotopesana zvakajeka neMweya weChiporofita (Ellen G. White) pasina kana kubvunza kuti pangava nechimwe chokwadi mairi.
Chii chakaitika kumaAdventist? Pandakabhabhatidzwa muna 2003 seSeventh-day Adventist, ndakafara kuti pakupedzisira ndakanga ndawana chechi yakanga ine ruzivo rwose rwouprofita rwandanga ndichitsvaka pasina kwemakore 25. Pakutanga, ndakaita rombo rakanaka kuva nedzimwe hama mutaundi diki muSpain vainyatsonzwisisa zvakawanda pamusoro pezvinyorwa zveMweya weHuporofita, uye mizhinji yemibvunzo yangu yakapindurwa. Zvisinei, ndakakurumidza kuona kuti vakawanda vakanga varega kutarira kana kuti vasati vambotanga kutsvaka zviratidzo zvokuzadzika kwouporofita mumhoteredzo yavo, mune zvamatongerwe enyika, sayenzi, uye zvikurukuru pachigaro choumambo chezvikara zvaZvakazarurwa 13 ne17 .
Gare gare, apo ndakapinda mundima youfundisi muSouth America, murangariro wangu wakashata wokurinda kwechechi wakasimbiswa. Hama dzangu pano dzese dzakanyatsogutsikana kuziva kuti rimwe zuva "Mutemo weNyika weSvondo" muUS waizoziviswa, kuti taizotarisana nenguva dzakaoma, kuti ipapo chete taizofanira kuva midziyo yakachena yekudurura kweMweya Mutsvene - mvura yekupedzisira - uye kuti zvakadaro Kristu achauya kuzotitungamirira kumba kudzimba dzekudenga. Ruzhinji rwaisatomboziva zvinyorwa zveMweya weChiporofita. Nguva nenguva, ungano dzose dzainditarira dzichiratidza kusadavira pandaiparidza kuti mitemo yeSvondo yakanga yava kusvika. Vakanga vasati vambonzwa nezvazvo kubva kuvafundisi vavo.
Tingatsanangura sei kusakendenga uku? Kugadzirira kwedu zviitiko zvekupedzisira kunofanira kunyanya kunangana ne“kucheneswa” kwehupenyu hwedu nemhuri dzedu, uye pakuziviswa kwemashoko engirozi nhatu ( Zvakazarurwa 14 ). Munyika yangu muSouth America, zvisinei, ivo havana chavaiziva pamusoro penheyo huru dzokuvandudza utano, izvo Ellen G. White akabatanidza nenzira isingaparadzanisiki neshoko rengirozi yechitatu. Uyewo hama dzakanga dzisina pfungwa ipi neipi pamusoro pezvinetso zvaiva mberi nokuda kwechechi nenyika. Ndakatanga kutaura nevakuru nevafundisi vakawanda, ndikabva ndatarisana nekusanzwisisa kwakawedzera. Ndakaudzwa pachena kuti rakanga risiri basa redu kuti tinzwisise ramangwana uye kuti hapana aigona kududzira uporofita zvakarurama. Vamwe vavo vakatoparidzira kuti hapasati paizovazve nechitambudzo chavakasarira—kuti ikoku kwakanga kwatozadzikwa pakuparadzwa kweJerusarema uye kwaisazoitikazve!
Pandairamba ndichiona chechi, ndakatowedzera kubvuma kuti hama dzangu dzakanga dzisinganyanyi kufarira chokwadi chokuti Jesu akanga ava kudzoka nokukurumidza. Zvaigona kuonwa nokuchenjera bedzi muSpain zvakanga zvava kutooneka muchechi yose muSouth America. Vakanga vachizengurira kuita kuti upenyu hwavo hucheneswe naKristu murutongeso rwokuongorora rwakavamba muna 1844. Kwakanga kuri nhamburiko yakanyanyisa kurarama upenyu hutsvene Mvura yokupedzisira isati yadururwa nokudanidzira kukuru. Vazhinji vakafunga kuti zvakanga zvichikangaidza zvikuru kuedza kubata zvakakomba nhau yokuita nhamburiko yokubatira pamwe naKristu kuti Iye agogona kubvisa urema hwakasara muhunhu hwavo. Zvaiva nyore kuti varambe vachikoshesa ego yavo. Motto yakataurwa neupenyu hwehama dzangu yaiva yokuti “Ndinoda kugara sezvandiri.”
Ndakanzwa mashoko kubva papulpit sekuti: “O, kutsanya kwaKristu murenje? Ngatisazvinzwisise! Bhaibheri rakangonyorwa nevanhu, uye zvechokwadi vanyori vaishandisa mutauro wevanhu nemafungiro avo. Hapana anogona kurarama mazuva makumi mana asina kudya! Muchero wakawanda wakakura murenje umo maiva naJesu, chokwadika—pano painapa, imomo bhanana! Kutsanya kwaJesu kwaingova nechokuita nenyama, uye iwoyo wakanga uri muedzo unotyisa wokutenda, sezvawaizova kwatiriwo! Asi isu hatisi Kristu, uyezve, hatifanirwe kutora shanduko yehutano zvakakomba muno muSouth America nekuti mhuka dzedu dzichine hutano. Hapasati pasisina chirwere chemombe! Uye kana tikakokwa kune imwe nzvimbo yevasingatendi, chokwadi tinogona kudya nyama yenguruve, kuti tirege kuvagumbura! Kunyange Kristu haana kunyanyokoshesa zvinhu! Uye zvakadaro, Mwari rudo uye havangadi kuti vana Vavo vazviranga.” Ndinogona kukuudza nyaya dzekuona kwangu vafundisi vakagadzwa vachidya nyama yenguruve paruzhinji pakudya kwemasikati kweSabata mushure mechechi, munzvimbo yeSeventh-day Adventist, uye vachipa kune vamwe.
Matauriro nemaitiro akadai haasi emubhaibheri, asiri maAdventist, uye ane ngozi! Ndakaona kuti hama nehanzvadzi dzedu dzakanga dzisingafariri kutsveneswa kwehupenyu hwavo, nokuti Mweya weChiporofita wakanga wanyangarika pakuparidza kwose papurupiti. Kana kuti munofunga kuti zvakarurama here kuti tingoparidza rudo rwaMwari kwete chimwe chinhu?
Zvakawanda, ndakavamba kuzvibvunza ndimene chikonzero nei Bhaibheri richirondedzera zviitiko zvokupedzisira zvakarurama kwazvo uye richizvitaura nenzira yakarurama kwazvo, uye ndakashamisika kuti nei zvinhu izvozvi sezviri pachena zvakanga zvisina fariro kuhama dzedu nehanzvadzi. Sekureva kwaEllen G. White, vaporofita veTestamente Yekare vakanyora zvishoma nezvenguva yavo, uye zvakawanda nezve "nguva yedu yekupedzisira". Uye ndichirava mabhuku mazhinji aEllen G. White, uyo akakomborerwa naMwari muupenyu hwake uye akanga agamuchira zviuru zvezviono izvo zvakaparira kutaura kwouporofita pakati pezvimwe zvinhu zvakawanda, ndakaona kuti tinongokwanisa kubatanidza zvishomanene zveizvozvi kutaura zvakananga neBhaibheri. Iye nguva dzose akataura kuti akanga ari “chiedza chiduku” chaizotungamirira kufundo ye“chiedza chikuru,” Bhaibheri, uye kuti kana taifunda zvomenemene Bhaibheri sezvataifanira kuita, kungadai kusina kuva kuri madikanwa kuti Mwari amutume.
Chokwadi ndechokuti, maAdventist mazhinji anozviona zvakaoma zvikuru kuwana mutemo weSvondo muBhaibheri. Hungu, chokwadi, vanoziva kuti chiratidzo chechikara kuchengetwa kweSvondo. Asi kana izvozvo zvichikosha kudaro, uye Ellen G. White akanyora adzokororazve nezvazvo, ndepapi chiziviso cheNational Sunday Law muUnited States chakanyorwa muBhaibheri? Zvakanaka, ndiani angandiudza? Zvakaoma here? Kana kuti ndiudze, dziripi njodzi huru dzechisikigo dzinotaurwa neMweya weChiporofita, kana hwamanda dzese nezvisimbiso zvakazadzikiswa muuporofita pamberi pe1844? Zvakanaka, saka tichine Mateo 24 naRuka 21, asi ndima idzi dzinoratidza kutevedzana chaiko kwezviitiko here? Kana zvakatonyanya kuoma: Ndokupi kwatinowana “kuparara kwenyika kweUnited States” kunotevera mutemo weSvondo? Kana kuti, tingaratidza sei kubva muBhaibheri kuumbwa kunotevera kweHurumende yeNyika Imwe, napapa ari pamusoro, munhevedzano yenguva youporofita?
"Oh", unogona kuti,"izvi zvakakosha here?” Sezvo Mudzimu Wouporofita wakaratidzira kane mazana enguva kuti tinofanira kufunda ndima dzakati namabhuku eBhaibheri mugumo usati wasvika, uye kunyange Jesu amene akasimbisa panhambo dzakawanda kuti tinofanira kufunda mabhuku akati, hakusati kusingabviri here kuti isu tiratidze zvinhu zvose izvozvi muBhaibheri? Chokwadi, zvinofanira kuva zvinokosha kwatiri nokuti Mwari haatauri chinhu chisingakoshi!
Asi nei zvichikosha? Nei Mwari achitora dambudziko kuti atizivise mashoko akawanda kwazvo pamusoro pezviitiko zvokupedzisira? Jesu pachake anopindura mibvunzo iyi:
Zvino ndakuudzai zvisati zvaitika. kuti kana zvoitika mutende. ((Johani 14:29)
Chiporofita chebhaibheri, chakapihwa naMwari, chine chinangwa chimwechete: Ndechekufambisa mikana miviri kune avo vanonzwisisa chiporofita nemazvo. Kutanga, kuponesa hupenyu hwavo, uyezve kunyevera vamwe uye kuvakurudzira kuti vagamuchirewo chipo chenyasha chaIshe. Nyevero huru yekupedzisira iyo maAdventist ese achaiswa chisimbiso achapa kuvanhu inodanwa mumutauro weAdventist "kuchema kukuru"! Vakaiswa chisimbiso, vane 144,000 28 mukuwirirana neBhaibheri, vachadanidzira zvikuru nguva yokuedzwa isati yapera mumigariro yakaoma zvikuru nokuda kwavo vamene. Iri pasi pekutambudzwa nehurumende yenyika pasi pekutonga kwepapa, uye pasi pekumanikidzwa kwemitemo yenyika inopikisa mitemo yaMwari. Zvinenge zvisingabviri kuti “vatsvene vanochengeta mirayiro yaMwari,” vachityisidzirwa nezvirango uye kunyange rufu, vave vakatendeka kuna Mwari vasingatyori mitemo yomunhu nokudaro vachibatwa se“matsotsi”. Mumamiriro ezvinhu ose aya anotyisa basa guru raMateo 18:20-XNUMX richapedzwa uye vhangeri rechokwadi raJesu richaparidzwa kekupedzisira pasi rose. ipapo kuguma kuchasvika.
Vanhu veAdvent vanofanira kunge vakagadzirira kuita basa rekuridza mhere mhere. Chokutanga pane zvose, zvinoreva kuva wakagadzirira kugamuchira Mweya Mutsvene, “mvura yokupedzisira.” Hapana achagamuchira “kuzorodzwa” kweMweya Mutsvene kunze kwekunge adzidza kurarama hupenyu hutsvene. Mweya Mutsvene unodururwa mu“midziyo yakachena” chete. Vane 144,000 XNUMX vachashanda pamwe chete naJesu voumba vanhu vavo kuti vave vakachena uye vakafanana naKristu. Kutongwa kwekuferefeta kuchapera kana vese vasimbiswa neMweya Mutsvene uye vapa yambiro huru yekupedzisira kunyika.
Asi kwete izvozvo zvoga! Ava ndivo vanhu vanozowana hukama hwepedyo naJesu kuburikidza nekudzidza Bhaibheri uye nemunamato wenguva dzose zvekuti vanozove vakafanana naTenzi wavo mune zvese. Jesu akanga ari Mudzidzisi Mukuru, uye aiziva Magwaro kupfuura mamwe. Mushure mekumuka kwake, akadudzira kuvadzidzi vari munzira yekuenda kuEmausi zvese zvakaporofitwa nezvake muTesitamende yekare, kusanganisira kuuya kwake nebasa rake panyika. Aive nyanzvi yechiporofita cheTestamente Yekare! Pamusoro pazvo, kubva papeji yekutanga kusvika kune yekupedzisira, Bhaibheri rinotaura nezvaJesu. Ndiye Musiki wepasi rose, uye Akagadzirira chirongwa cherudzikinuro chenyika yakarasika kunyange isati yasikwa. Zviporofita zvisati zvazadzikiswa zveTestamende Yekare neItsva zvichakurumidza kuzadzikiswa pamberi pemeso edu, uye zvizhinji zvezviporofita zvakazadzikiswa kare nenzira yekufananidzira munguva yenhorondo zvichatodzokororwa nenzira chaiyoiyo. Tatova pakati peizvi zviitiko zvekupedzisira uye zvinokurumidza, uye zvakadaro vazhinji vakavhara maziso avo pane kuedza kuzvisimudzira mukugadzirira kuchema kukuru. Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa kuti sei; zvakatoratidzwa naTenzi wavo Mukuru.
Isu maAdventist tinozviona saEria wechitatu. Wokutanga akanga ari muporofita pachake, wechipiri akanga ari Johane Mubhapatidzi, uyo akazivisa kuuya kwokutanga kwaKristu, uye isu tiri vechitatu vanofanira kuzivisa kuuya kwechipiri kwaKristu. Uye izvi zvinowana magumo mukudanidzira kukuru. Zvino hatifaniri here kukwanisa kuratidza vamwe vanhu zvose zvakaporofitwa pamusoro pekuuya kwechipiri kwaKristu muBhaibheri? Chirevo chaJesu chiri muna Zvakazarurwa 10:11 , icho chinoshanda kunhambo yapashure poKuora Mwoyo Kukuru kwa1844 kusvikira pakupera kwokuedzwa, kunoti:
Zvino akati kwandiri: Unofanira kuporofitazve pamberi pevanhu nemarudzi nendimi nemadzimambo. ((Zvakazarurwa 10:11)
Shoko rechiGiriki rokuti prophēteuō riri kushandiswa pano, rinoreva kuti “porofita"Kana kuti"kufanotaura zviitiko”. Naizvozvo Jesu akasimbisa uporofita uye kwete kungoparidzirwawo zvako! Vanhu mumazuva ekupedzisira enhoroondo yevanhu vachaomeswa mwoyo zvokuti Mwari achashandisa nzira yokupedzisira yaainayo mupfuma Yake yezviyero kuunza vakawanda kutendeuka nekupfidza panguva yekupedzisira chaiyo: hondo, nzara, denda, uye rufu nemhomho yevanhu vanopenga nekuda kwekutya uye kushushikana, vasina tsananguro kana kusanzwisisa kwezviitiko zvinotyisa zvakatimirira munguva pfupi iri kutevera.
Zvakare, vaAdventist vazhinji vanotenda kuti vanhu vachatanga kumuka kana tangoparidza zvakasimba kuti Mutemo weNyika weSvondo uchaziviswa muUnited States nekuparadzwa kwenyika kunotevera, uye kuti nokukurumidza mutemo weSvondo uyu waizopararira pasi rose. Zvisinei, iyi yakanyanyisa ruzivo rwechiporofita uye izvi zvakafanotaurwa zvakauya kune vanhu veAdvent kuburikidza nezvinyorwa zvaEllen G. White, saka ani nani asingatendi muMweya weChiporofita chaEllen G. White-uye (zvinosuruvarisa) hapana anoita kunze kweAdventist pachavo-havazotendeurwi kunyange kana uhu "humwe huporofita hwebhaibheri" hukazadzika pamberi pemeso avo chaiwo. Iniwo handaizodzokera kuKatorike kunyangwe zviporofita zvemapopotera eMarian zvese zvichizadzikiswa. Kuregererei? Nekuti ini handisi kunzwisisa mamiriro ese. Ndinoziva kuti zviporofita izvi hazvisi zvebhaibheri uye naizvozvo ndezvemanyepo, uye kuti ndinokwanisa chete kuvimba neBhaibheri iro Shoko raMwari.
Ndinonzwisisa zvikuru kubva mukuverenga nekuenzanisa kuti basa raEllen G. White rakanyatsojeka mubhaibheri uye chikomborero; kuti haana kumbobvira ataura kana kunyora chero chinhu chinopesana neBhaibheri. Asi vasiri maAdventist havana kunzwisisa kwakadzama uku. Vanongonzwisisa zvinhu pamwero wenzwisiso yavo yebhaibheri isingakwane. Hapana chinopfuura. Kana mhere huru ikanzwikwa mukutambudzwa, hapazovi nenguva yezvidzidzo zveBhaibheri zvenguva refu uye zvakadzama kuti zvienzaniswe neMweya weChiporofita. Vanhu havasati vachizotendeutswa nokurava bhuku rimwe kana kuti anopfuura ane mapeji 800. Hapana achakwanisa kugara pasi achidzidza nezve “Gakava Guru”, nekuda kwenjodzi dzichange dzichishanyira pasi redu. Zvose zvichaitika nokukurumidza uye pasi pekutambudzika kukuru!
Munguva yekuchema kukuru, pachava nemubvunzo mumwe chete: Ndiani ane mhosva yenhamo nezviitiko zvinotyisa zviri panyika yedu, zvisingatsanangurirwe nesayenzi?
Uye pachave nemhinduro mbiri dzakasiyana uye tsananguro dzichapihwa nemapoka maviri akasiyana evanhu:
- Boka rekutanga richati: “Avo vane mhosva vanopikisa sangano rerunyararo nechengetedzo pasi rose uye vari kuchengeta Sabata reBhaibheri panzvimbo yeZuva reZororo rinozivikanwa pasi rose, Zuva Rorugare neMhuri, Svondo. Vari kuratidza kutsamwa kwaJesu kusingagoni kudzikiswa, kana naMariya, kana vasande, kana vanamwari.”
- Uye boka rechipiri richati: “Avo ndivo vane mhosva vari kuchengeta Svondo seZuva Rokuzorora vachipesana nemurairo wechina waMwari, uye vari kutambudza vashoma vevaKristu vanoda kuchengeta Mitemo ineGumi yekutanga yaMwari, Sabata. Uye naizvozvo vari kuratidzira kutsamwa kwaMwari, nokuti vari ‘kubata mboni yeziso Rake’, vanhu Vake.”
Mapoka maviri aya achatenda kuti vakarurama. Asi boka rimwe chete ndiro richatambudza rimwe. Musiyano mukuru pakati pemapoka ndewekuti mumwe anenge achingopopotedzana asi mumwe achidzvinyirira uye achiranga. Rimwe boka richava nesimba rose panyika uye rotora mukana webazi rezvemitemo, rekutonga, uye nepamusoro pehurumende kuti vanyaradze kana kutoparadza rimwe boka.
Boka rimwe bedzi richava risingadaviri zvapachokwadi uye risingakuvadzi bvudzi rimwe romusoro womunhu upi noupi, asi iro richapomerwa mhaka namamwe nokuda kwokutambura kwose kuri pasi pano. Ndivo vane 144,000 XNUMX, avo vachaumbwa navaAdventist vashomanene vakatendeka naavo vanobuda muBhabhironi paminiti yokupedzisira zvikuru. Ini ndichatsanangura izvi mune imwe chinyorwa gare gare, nekuti kusanzwisisana kwakawanda kwakakura kwazvo uye kune kuparidza kwakawanda kwakashata nezvazvo. Kuchava bedzi neboka duku ravanhu vane zvokwadi, uye vachatambura chitambudzo norufu nokuda kwacho, kungofanana naShe wavo, Jesu Kristu, mazana amakore pamberi pezvi. Asi vanonzwisisa zvese izvozvo pamberi zviitiko izvozvo zvinotanga zvinozoona kuti nderipi boka ravanofanira kupinda musuo wetsitsi usati wapfigwa kana vachidawo kuponeswa. Uku ndiko kuchema kukuru: boka rinotambudzwa revanhu vanoda rugare vanoda kuita chinhu chimwe chete, chinova kuteerera Mwari wavo, zvinodhura zvazvingadaro ... kunyange huri hupenyu hwavo pachavo. Izvo zvisati zvazadzikiswa zvizere mumakore 2000 ekuparidza evhangeri zvichazoitwa pakupedzisira neboka diki iri revanhu. Chisarudzo chokupedzisira chomunhu mumwe nomumwe ari kurarama pamusoro pokuti anoda kupinda muboka iri here kana kuti kwete, chichaitwa. Mumwe nemumwe angave ari Muteveri kana Anoteverwa. Uye ipapo mugumo uchasvika!
Zvakare, zvinhu zvose zvichaitika sezvakaporofitwa! Pachava nokutambudzwa nokuda kwemitemo yeSvondo, asi kumutswa kwevanhu hakuzouyi kuburikidza nemitemo yeSvondo pachayo, asi kuburikidza nekutambudzwa uye kutambura kwevashoma vashomanana vanongoda kuteerera uye kutendeka kuna Mwari wavo naIshe.
Saka inofanira kuratidzwa kufanoita kuti Bhaibheri rinonongedzera ranongedzerazve kukutambudzwa kweZvapupu zvishomanene zvakatendeka zvaJesu. Zvinofanira kuratidzwa kuti Bhaibheri riri kutiudza chaizvo kuti masangano emasimba achaumbwa sei mumazuva okupedzisira, achamira achitungamirira hurumende yenyika kuti abatanidze masimba makuru matatu. Dai taigona kuwana zvese izvi muBhaibheri uye tichikwanisa kuratidza kuti zviri kuzadzika pamberi pemeso edu, uye ani iri shure kwazvo zvose, saka vazhinji vaizoziva kuti nderipi boka rine mutoro wematambudziko ose: boka richatora hutongi hwenyika uye kuedza kuparadza vamwe. Boka richava nesimba kwenguva pfupi rokutambudza vana vaMwari nokuvauraya richava nemhosva.
Nokudaro, mubvunzo unova: ndiani iye zvino ari kuronga hurumende yenyika uye ndivanaani vane masimba makuru shure kwayo? Uye zvakatonyanya kukosha: zvirongwa zvavo zvakafambira mberi kusvika papi? Zvichatora nguva yakadii kuti zvese izvi zvipere?
Isu maAdventist tinoziva kubva muBhaibheri uye neMweya weChiporofita kuti aya masimba anotungamira ndeapi: hupapa neUS, iyo ichakurudzira marudzi ese epasi kuti asarudze papa semutungamiri wavo "ane tsika". Asi isu hatizive kuti gadziriro dzemuvengi dzakasvika papi, nekuti isu tose takamirira takamira pa "chiedza chegirini": Mutemo weNyika weSvondo muUnited States. Asi ndinoti: zvino zvichange zvanyanya kunonoka kutsanangura (kana kuporofita) kuvanhu kuti vashoma vanotambudzwa vachawana chokwadi, nokuti tinenge tatotambura kutambudzwa. Kuziviswa kwesimba rekupomera kungava kuti tinotambudzwa nokuti tiri nhengo dze "sangano rematsotsi" rinotyora mutemo wenyika kana wepasi rose. Saka, panguva iyoyo vashoma vangatoteerera kune zvatinoda kutaura.
Kiyi yekubudirira iri mukutaura kwakapfava kwaKristu:
Uye ikozvino ndakuudzai zvisati zvaitika, kuti kana zvoitika mutende. ((Johani 14:29)
Ndinoda kutaura chinyorwa chaEllen G. White chakanyorwa munguva yenhamo kukereke. Ndinoziva kuti haisi kutaura zvakananga mutemo weSvondo. Zvakadaro, nzira yataurwa pano yekusangana nenjodzi sekereke yakafanana pakurwiswa kwese kwemuvengi:
An Iceberg! “Sangana nazvo”
Nguva pfupi ndisati ndatumira zvipupuriro maererano nekuedza kwemuvengi kukanganisa nheyo yekutenda kwedu kuburikidza nekuparadzira dzidziso dzinonyengera, ndakanga ndaverenga chiitiko chechikepe chiri mumhute ichisangana nedombo rechando. Kweusiku hunoverengeka ndakarara asi zvishoma. Ndakaita sendagwadama sengoro iri pasi pezvisote. Humwe usiku chimwe chiitiko chakaratidzwa pachena pamberi pangu. Chikepe chaiva pamusoro pemvura, mukati memhute huru. Pakarepo mutarisiri akachema, "Iceberg iri pamberi!" Ikoko, pakakwirira pamusoro pengarava, pakanga pane dombo guru reaizi. Inzwi rine simba rakadaidzira, "Sangana nazvo!" Pakanga pasina kumbozeza. Yakanga iri nguva yekuita chiito pakarepo. Injiniya akapisa utsi, uye murume akanga ari pavhiri akatungamirira ngarava yakananga mujinga reaizi. Nekubondera akarova chando. Pakava nekatyamadzo inotyisa, uye chando chakatsemuka kuita zvidimbu zvakawanda, chichiwira pasi noruzha rwakaita sebhanan’ana padenga. Vafambi vakazununguswa nechisimba nesimba rekudhumhana, asi hapana hupenyu hwakarasika. Ngarava yacho yakakuvara, asi kwete zvokusagadzirisika. Akasimuka kubva pakubata, achidedera kubva padzinde kuenda kumashure, sechisikwa chipenyu. Akabva aenderera mberi nerwendo rwake.
Haa ndaiziva chirevo chekumiririra uku. Ndaive nemirairo yangu. Ndakanga ndanzwa mazwi, senzwi kubva kuna Captain wedu, "Meet it!" Ndaiziva kuti basa rangu raiva rei, uye kuti pakanga pasina nguva yokurasikirwa. Nguva yechiito chakasarudzwa yakanga yasvika. Ndinofanira kunonoka kuteerera murairo, "Sangana nayo!".
Manheru iwayo ndakamuka nenguva dza1:00, ndichinyora nokukurumidza sezvandaigona ruoko rwangu kupfuura pabepa. Kwamazuva mashoma akatevera ndakashanda nokukurumidza uye kunonoka, ndichigadzirira vanhu vedu murayiridzo wandakapiwa pamusoro pezvikanganiso zvakanga zviri kuuya pakati pedu.
Ndanga ndichitarisira kuti kuchava nekuvandudzwa kwakadzama, uye kuti misimboti yatakarwira pamazuva ekutanga, uye yakaburitswa musimba reMweya Mutsvene, ichachengetedzwa. {1SM 205.3-206.3}
Chekutanga, ndinoda kuti uzive kuti "akatumira zvipupuriro pamusoro pekuedza kwemuvengi”. Vazhinji veAdventist vanokakavara kuti harisi basa redu kuona zvinoitwa nemuvengi. Asi ndinobvumirana naEllen G. White kuti zvechokwadi zvakare (!) Zvinofanira "kufanotaura icebergs" mu fairway. Uye iyo huru yechando yakatimirira ingangove iyo National Sunday Law muUS, nekuti isu tinoziva kuti nguva yedu yekugadzirira inofanira kupedzwa zvisati zvaitika. Hazvingave zvakanaka here kwatiri kuti tikurumidze “kusora chando ichi” zvishoma nezvishoma kuti tigadzirise nguva yakarasika?
Chechipiri, ndinobvumirana naEllen G. White kuti hapana nzira yekudzivisa chando. Izvozvo zvingaita—sezvakaita Titanic—zvinongotungamirira kukuparadzwa kwengarava (chechi) uye kuinyudza. Kubvumirana nemasimba aya hazvibviri! Mukana chete ndewe "mhepo izere kumberi kune iceberg!" Ndinoedza kusangana nayo newebhusaiti yangu diki kusvika painobvumira mari yangu. Ndakaona mutemo weSvondo, uye imwe "iceberg", kuonekwa kwaKristu wenhema, kubva kune vanotarisa uye ikozvino ridza bhero uye kuridza hwamanda, saka tinogona kupisa injini uye kusangana nezvipingamupinyi nesimba rakazara.
Kana kuti isu takatorova iceberg tisina kuzviona, uye "Titanic" yedu yakatobvarurwa kubva padzinde kuenda kumashure uye yave kuda kunyura mukunyarara kusingaperi kwegungwa? Takava nechivimbo zvikuru pamusoro pedu timene here, tichivimba navagadziri uye tichifunga kuti takanga tiri mungarava isinganyuri? Izvozvo zvingava zvakaipa kuziva uye zvaizoreva kuti taizofanira kusiya ngarava—chero bedzi pachine nzvimbo muzvikepe zvokununura upenyu zvishoma—Titanic yakanga isina gadziriro yakakwana yokuti vatakurwi vose vatizewo.
Apo musi wa10 Chikunguru 2009 ndakagamuchira humwe humbowo hwekurongeka kwezvidzidzo zvangu zvakapfuura, ndakamira kuzeza ndikatanga kushanda pawebhusaiti ino. Ndinoziva kuti ndanonoka, asi chechi yedu haisi chechi inogamuchira “chiedza chitsva” zviri nyore, ndosaka makore anenge mana apfuura ndisati ndatanga saiti ino. Panguva ino handisi kuda kusimbisa kuti ndine "chiedza chitsva", asi kungoti ndakaona njodzi dzinozivikanwa, uye ndinofunga ndinoziva kuti kure kwatakaita kubva pakudhumhana. Asi ndinofanirawo kutaura kuti ndakanga ndisina nguva iri nyore nehama dzedu ndisati ndagumisa kuti ndinofanira kutsikisa zvandakawana pano. Icho chisarudzo chakavakirwa bedzi pamunyengetero nokutenda muna Mwari. Ani nani achashoropodza zvaanoverenga pano ndokumbirawo mundishorewo ini pachangu muregere ungano yese nekuti ini handiite nemvumo kana kutendera kwayo. Handirwisi, kururamisa, kana kubvunza chero ruzivo rwekare runovaka mbiru dzechokwadi chezvino, asi pane zvinopesana muverengi achacherechedza kuti ruzivo rwekare runoumba hwaro hweruzivo rutsva rwese, uye "zivo itsva" inosimbisa yekare.
Pakutanga zvandakawana zvaingove zvitsva seruzivo rwekuti icebergs dziriko. Mubvunzo chete waive wekuti: kudhumhana kuchaitika rini, kana kuti zvakatoitika zvisingaonekwe? Sezvo isu sekereke tine Mweya weChiporofita, saka hatifanire kunyevera kereke nenyika siku nesikati sezvakaita Ellen G. White kuti tisangane nekutyisidzira uku kuri kuuya nenzira yedu nemhepo izere mberi?
Ndakadzidza nesimba ndichiona zvakandipoteredza. Mamiriro ezvinhu echechi yedu muSouth America nokukurumidza akandiendesa kwandakanga ndisingachagoni kuzvizivisa ndimene nayo. Handidi kutaura pano zvandakasangana nazvo, nokuti ndinoziva kuti kune hama nehanzvadzi dzakawanda dzakatendeka dzandisingadi kurwadzisa. Asi ndakanga ndisingakwanisi kunzwisisa kuti kutadza kwavanhu kwaibvumirwa sei, kunyanya mukati mehutungamiri hweSeventh-day Adventist Church. Vese vaive vabatwa nehupofu. Ndakakumbira Mwari kuti vandijekesere. Ndakanyengetera siku nesikati kwemwedzi yakawanda, kunyange makore. Ishe akazarura zvishoma nezvishoma suo kuizvi fundo, izvo zvakatungamirira kuAwa yaMwari muOrion. Ndakatanga ndaziva kuti chii chaiitika Kuseri kwemitsara yemuvengi uye kuti zvisimbiso zvinomwe zvakanga zvichidzokorora shure kwa1844 pamuenzaniso we“Jeriko” uye kuti, seizvo Ellen G. White aigara achitaura, Nhoroondo Inodzokorora uye nokudaro makereke manomwe anodzokorora.
Ndakaziva kuti mukudzokorora kwadzo, chisimbiso chechipiri nechechitatu zvinomiririra zvakajeka Hondo mbiri dzeNyika huru, idzo dzinodudzwawo muna Mateo 24 naRuka 21. Asi vakanga varipi vafiri kutendeka veSmirna mukati mezvitsauko zvedu mukati menguva iyoyo avo vakanga vafira kutenda kwavo vachichengeta Mirairo Gumi, inowirirana nedenderedzwa rokutanga rezvisimbiso? Mibvunzo iyi nemimwe yakafanana nayo yakaita kuti ndisanyanya kugadzikana. Ndakatanga kudzidza nhoroondo yeChechi yeAdventist, uye ndakawana zvinhu zvinotyisa! Ndakazununguswa kusvika pakati pekutenda kwangu uye ndinofunga kuti vazhinji venyu vachazununguswawo kana mukaverenga izvo Mwari anotiratidza, kunyanya, hama dzangu dzinodiwa, nenzira inotyisa yaanozviita!
Ndakawana mazano anoshamisa muuchapupu hwaEllen G. White. Semuyenzaniso:
Chitsauko chechishanu chaZvakazarurwa chinoda kunyatsodzidzwa. Izvo zvakakosha zvikuru kune avo vachatora chikamu mubasa raMwari kwemazuva ano ekupedzisira. Kune vamwe vanonyengerwa. Havazivi zviri kuuya panyika. Avo vakabvumira pfungwa dzavo kuti dzifukidzwe pamusoro pechinoumba chivi vanonyengerwa zvinotyisa. Kunze kwekunge vaita chinjo yakasarudzwa vachawanikwa vachishayiwa apo Mwari anotaura rutongeso pavana vevanhu. Vakadarika murairo uye vakaputsa sungano isingaperi, uye vachagamuchira maererano nemabasa avo. {9T267.1}
Ellen G. White akataura nezvehunyengeri hweboka revanhu. Boka iri ndiani? Mitsetse iyi inotaurirwa kwatiri sevaSeventh-day Adventist. Kungava here kuti vamwe vedu vakanyengerwa? Kana zvakadaro, ndiani? Pane anonzwisisa zvinorehwa neshoko iri rinoshamisa here? Iyi webhusaiti inopa mhinduro uye ndinonamata kuti iwe uri pakati peavo “vanogomera nokuchema pamusoro pezvinonyangadza zvinoitwa muguta [chechi yedu]”, nekuti avo chete uye hakuna mumwe achagamuchira Chisimbiso chaMwari (maererano naEzekieri 9).
Ndinovimba kuti iwe, hama inodiwa, hanzvadzi inodiwa, muenzi anodiwa wesaiti ino, uchadzidza nemunamato zvandaburitsa pano. Munhu wese ane mutoro wake uye anofanira kuteerera inzwi rake remukati kana tasvika pakuziva chokwadi. Ndinoda kuti Mweya weChiporofita, uyo kereke yedu yakakomborerwa nawo zvakanyanya, utungamire mashoko ekupedzisira echinyorwa chino chekutanga kwauri:
Kudiwa kweChechi
Nyika ino kumuKristu inyika yevatorwa nevavengi. Kunze kwekunge atora shongwe yehumwari uye akabata munondo weMweya achabatwa nechisimba chemasimba erima. Kutenda kwavose kuchaedzwa. Vose vachaedzwa sokuedzwa kwegoridhe mumoto.
Chechi inoumbwa nevarume nevakadzi vasina kukwana, vanokanganisa, vanoda kuti varambe vachiratidza rudo uye kushivirira. Asi kwave kune nguva refu yekudziya kwese; mweya wenyika uchiuya mukereke wakateverwa nekutsaurwa, kutsvaga mhosva, ruvengo, gakava, nekusarurama.
Kana pakava nekuparidza kushoma kunoitwa nevanhu vasina kuzvipira pamwoyo neupenyu, uye vaine nguva yakawanda yakazvipira kuninipisa mweya pamberi paMwari, saka tingatarisira kuti Ishe vachaonekwa kuti vakubatsirei uye vagopodza kudzokera kwenyu. Zvakawanda zvekuparidza munguva pfupi yapfuura zvinobereka kuchengeteka kwenhema. Fariro dzinokosha muchinangwa chaMwari hazvigoni kutarisirwa nokuchenjera naavo vane batano shomanene chaiyoiyo naMwari sezvakaita vamwe vafundisi vedu. Kupa basa kuvarume vakadaro kwakafanana nokugadza vana kuti vatarisire ngarava huru mugungwa. Avo vasina ungwaru hwekudenga, vasina simba rekurarama naMwari, havakwanisi kufambisa ngarava yevhangeri pakati pemazaya echando nemadutu. Chechi iri kupfuura nemumakakatanwa akakomba, asi munjodzi yayo vazhinji vangavimba nayo mumaoko ayo achaiparadza zvirokwazvo. Tinoda mutyairi wendege izvozvi, nekuti tave kusvika pachiteshi chengarava. Sevanhu tinofanira kuva chiedza chenyika. Asi vasikana vangani mapenzi, vasina mafuta mumidziyo nemwenje yavo. Ishe wenyasha dzose, ane tsitsi zhinji, azere nekanganwiro, tsitsi uye atiponese, kuti tirege kufa pamwe chete nevakaipa!
Mumwaka uno wekunetsana uye wekuedzwa tinoda tsigiro yose nenyaradzo yatinokwanisa kuwana kubva kumisimboti yakarurama, kubva pakutenda kwakasimba, kubva mukusimbiso inogara iripo yerudo rwaKristu, uye kubva muruzivo rwakapfuma muzvinhu zvitsvene. Tichasvika pakukura kuzere kwevarume nevakadzi muna Kristu Jesu chete semubairo wekukura kwakasimba munyasha.
O, chii chandingataure kuvhura maziso asingaoni, kuvhenekera kunzwisisa kwemweya! Chivi chinofanira kurovererwa. Kuvandudzwa kwehunhu kwakakwana kunofanira kuitwa neMweya Mutsvene. Tinofanira kuva nerudo rwaMwari, nokutenda mhenyu, kunogara. Iri igoridhe rakaidzwa mumoto. Tinogona kuzviwana muna Kristu chete. Wese anotsvaka nemoyo wese anozova mugovera wehunhu hwehumwari. Mweya wake uchazadzwa neshungu huru yekuziva kuzara kwerudo rwuya runopfuura ruzivo; apo anofambira mberi muhupenyu hutsvene anozokwanisa zvirinani kubata chokwadi chakakwirira, chinokwidziridza cheshoko raMwari, kudakara nekuona anoshanduka uye agoneswa kuratidza mufananidzo weMununuri wake. {5T 104.2–105.2}
