Baibo ilaamba ayi shintu ishi shitoocitika ‘ncitondesho’ cakubaako kwakwe Klistu. (Mate. 24:3, 7; Luka 21:7, 10, 11) Ndipakeenda myaaka iindilila 60 pesule lyakwaamba ayi Yesu wafwa akubushikwa kuya kwiculu, wakalwiita mutumwi Joni bumboni abumwi butondesha ayi shintu ishi shilaakucitika.

Ciloto Nebukadinesa ncaakalota cakalinga kutondesha shakalinga kusa mukucitika ‘kumamanino anshiku,’ pesule lyakwaamba ayi Klistu watalika kweendelesha. Pa balwani bakwe Yesu bapacishi, pali abuleelo bwakweelaako bucite nkusu pacishi ubo bwakaambwa mu Baibo ayi buleemikaninwaako a “shimpanta sha nshimbi isenkene abulongo.” Buleelo ubu bwakatalika kweendelesha paciindi ca Nkondo Yapacishi Coonse Yakutaanguna, ciindi cishi ca Britain aca America ndyeshakatalika kusebensela pomwi akupanga buleelo bwiitwa ayi Anglo-America.

10. (a) Ino nshiinshi shicitika mubuleelo bwa Anglo-America, isho shakaambwa mu bushinshimi bwakwe Danyelo? (b) Ino nshiinshi nshotweelete kuleya? (Amubone kabokosi kacite mutwi utokwaamba ayi “ Amucenjele Kubantu Beemikaninaako Bulongo!”)

¹⁰ Cakutaanguna, mubupusano abuleelo bumwi bwakeendeleshaawo bwakaambwa mucili anga nciloto, nshimbi isenkene abulongo​—kuteshi ceela ciyumu mbuli ca golodi na ca silifa, ileemikaninaako buleelo bwa Anglo-America. Bulongo buleemikaninako bantu batapukite na bantubo.

¹³ Amubelenge Ciyubululo 17:9-12. Mukwiinga shintu shiinji shakanyonyooka abuumbi mu Nkondo Yapacishi Coonse Yakutaanguna, kuli cimwi cakacitika kwaamba ayi bushinshimi bumwi bwamu Baibo bwaamba panshiku shakweelaako bukumanishikwe. Beendeleshi nsengwe yoonse bakalinga kusuni kwaamba ayi pacishi pabe luumuno. Aboobo mu January, 1920, bakapanga libunga lya League of Nations, ilyo lyakesa mukupyanwa kulibunga lya United Nations mu October 1945. Libunga ili liletwa ayi ‘mwaami wa namba 8.’ Libunga ili teshi buleelo sombi lilicite nkusu ceebo cakucafwikwa amfulumeende shimwi. Baibo ilaamba ayi mfulumeende isho shileemikaninwaako ‘abamaami bali 10.’

14-15. (a) Ino lilembo lya Ciyubululo 17:3-5 lilaamba nshi pa “Babiloni Munene”? (b) Ino nshiinshi bantu bali mubupailishi bwakubeca nshebatoocita?

Ino cili anga nciloto ici cakakumanishikwa buyani? Kwamyaaka iinji, bupailishi bwakubeca bulacafwilisha akusebensela pomwi amfulumeende sha bantu. Nacibi boobo, conoonobo Yehova alaakucibika mumyoyo ya beendeleshi ‘kwaamba ayi bakumanishe muyeeyo wakwe.’ Na Yehova akacite boobo, mfulumeende isho, nkokwaamba ayi  ‘bamaami bali 10,’ shilaakulwana bupailishi bwakubeca akubunyonyoola.​—Ciyu. 17:1, 2, 16, 17.

¹⁵ Ino tulishi buyani ayi Babiloni munene alaakunyonyoolwa conoonobo? Kwaamba ayi tucane cikumbulo kumwiipusho uyu, cilayandika abuumbi kushiba ayi ndabala ya Babiloni yakale kale, yakalinga kushitilishitwe amulonga unene wa Yufuletisi. Libuku lya Ciyubululo lilakoshanisha bantu baanji bali mu Babiloni Munene, ku “maanshi” ashitilisha. (Ciyu. 17:15) Sombi lileelikaawo akwaamba ayi maanshi ‘alaakuyuma,’ kutondesha ayi bantu baanji balaakuswaamo mubupailishi bwakubeca. (Ciyu. 16:12) Bushinshimi ubu butookumanishikwa munshiku shino, mukwiinga bantu baanji bakacileka kupaila akulangoola lucafwo kubupailishi.

16. Ino kunyumfwishisha bushinshimi bwaamba pa kupangwa kwa libunga lya United Nations aciindi Babiloni Munene ndyeshi akanyonyoolwe inga kwatucafwa buyani?

Nabi kwaamba  ayi bantu baanji batoswaamo mu Babiloni Munene, tacaambi ayi ici nceshi cikanyonyoole bupailishi bwakubeca. Kweelana ambotweeya, Yehova alaakucibika mumyoyo ya ‘bamaami bali 10,’ nkokwaamba ayi mfulumeende shicafwilisha libunga lya United Nations kwaamba ayi ‘bakakumanishe muyeeyo wakwe.’ Mfulumeende ishi shilaakunyonyoola Babiloni Munene cakuteengashila, cakwaamba ayi bantu mucishi balaakukankamana. * (Ciyu. 18:8-10) Bantu nsengwe yoonse balaakukumwa abuumbi akunyonyoolwa kwa bupailishi bwakubeca alimwi mpashi shintu shilaakuyuma. Nacibi boobo, kulaakuba sheebo shobilo sheshi shikape bantu bakwe Lesa kusangalala. Bupailishi bwakubeca ubo buli ngumulwani wakwe Yehova Lesa kwamyaaka iinji, bulaakunyonyoolwa cakumaninina alimwi ishi na shikacitike nkokwaamba ayi kwacalabo ciindi ciniini kwaamba ayi tulubulwe kuswa kucishi cibiibi ici!​—Luka 21:28.

17-18. (a) Ino nshiinshi nsheenga twaciita kwaamba ayi tutolelele kuyumya lushomo lwesu? (b) Ino tulaakwiiya nshi mumutwi utokonkelaawo?

¹⁷ Danyelo wakaamba ayi ‘lushibo lwancinencine lulaakufula.’ Alimwi ncakwiila lwafula! Twanyumfwishisha bushinshimi bwaamba panshiku shino shakweelaako. (Danye. 12:4, 9, 10) Kukumanishikwa kwa bushinshimi ubu kulatupa kulemeka Yehova alimwi a Maswi akwe. (Isa. 46:10; 55:11) Aboobo amutolelele kuyumya lushomo lwanu kwiinda mukwiiya Malembo cakubikila maano alimwi akucafwa bamwi kwaamba ayi babe beshicibusa bakwe Yehova. Alaakushitilisha baabo boonse bacinka manungo muli nguwe, alimwi alaakupa kwaamba ayi batolelele kuba ‘aluumuno.’​—Isa. 26:3.
