NGO-1919 kwagcwaliseka iziprofetho ezimbili ezihlobene: esinye sikhuluma ‘ngamathambo omile,’ esinye sikhuluma ‘ngofakazi ababili.’ Umbono ophathelene ‘namathambo omile’ ubikezela inkathi ende kakhulu (eyaba amakhulu amaningi eminyaka) ephela lapho iqembu elikhulu labantu bakaNkulunkulu liphila. (Hez. 37:2-4; IsAm. 11:1-3, 7-13) Isiprofetho esiphathelene ‘nofakazi ababili’ sichaza inkathi emfushane (eyagcwaliseka kusukela ekupheleni kuka-1914 kuya ekuqaleni kuka-1919) ephela lapho iqembu elincane lezinceku zikaNkulunkulu liphila. Zombili lezi ziprofetho zazifanekisela uvuko olungokomfanekiso, futhi zombili zagcwaliseka osukwini lwethu ngo-1919 lapho uJehova ebangela ukuba izinceku zakhe ezigcotshiwe ‘zime ngezinyawo,’ zikhululwe ekuthunjweni iBhabhiloni Elikhulu, futhi ziqoqelwe ebandleni elakhiwe kabusha.—Hez. 37:10.

Nokho, phawula ukuthi ukugcwaliseka kwalezi ziprofetho ezimbili kuyehluka ngendlela ebalulekile. Isiprofetho esiphathelene ‘namathambo omile’ sibikezela ukuphila kwabo bonke abagcotshiwe abasele. Kanti isiprofetho esiphathelene ‘nofakazi ababili’ sona sibikezela ukuphila kwamalungu athile kwabagcotshiwe bakaNkulunkulu abasele—lawo ayehola enhlanganweni futhi abekwa aba “inceku ethembekile neqondayo.”—Math. 24:45; IsAm. 11:6. *
