Kimye kyo ajinga pa jikuji ja Patamosa, wanembele buku wa Lumwekesho ne kumutuma ku bipwilo pa kuba’mba bayuke “bintu bikamweka palutwe kacheche.” (Lum. 1:1) Kabiji kyamweka byo bamukasulwile mu kaleya pa jikuji ja Patamosa, Yoano wanembele buku wa Mambo Awama waamba pa bwikalo ne mwingilo waingijile Yesu. Kabiji wanembele ne makalata asatu a kutundaika ne kukosesha balongo ne banyenga. Mwakonsha kumwesha byepi muchima wa kwipana wajingapo ne Yoano?

Bino inge umo watendeka kumwesha muteeto watama nangwa kuba kintu kyakonsha konauna bulunda bwanji ne Yehoba, twakonsha kumwesha butemwe kupichila mu kumujimunako.

Wakebelenga ne kupanga mu kipwilo boba batambwijilenga bantu bo ashikilwe. Kine, uno muntu witotele bingi. Ne ano moba, Satana ubena kwesekesha papelela bulume bwanji kuleta mabano pa bantu ba Lesa. Kange tuswishe Satana kwitulengela kwishikwa atwe bene na bene ne kwitwabanya ne.
