¹¹ Piswimp ap, yisak ya politik ya mangand  ma Satan, yikwibomb pamwing mulong wa kupakish kuyijiyish antu a Nzamb. (Ezekiel 38:2, 10-12; Daniel 11:40, 44, 45; Kujingunik 19:19) Mu uprofet wa Ezekiel tumen yisak yiney yikat kubwik divu mudi madj.

Pa chisu cha mar makash, angel a Yehova akuyichidij antu end, ni akumujiyish muntu mwawonsu ukulika wintakel wa Yehova. (2 Tesalonik 1:7, 8) Dikwikal dichuku dishimokishena mudi ik!

Kupwa wasala kand chom chimwing chafanyinau kuman kudi antu akwau ni chom chinech chafanyina kuyikasikesh antu ading atungirila tempel wa Nzamb. (Tang Zakariy 6:9-12.) Amakundj asatu, Heliday, Tobija ni Jedayeja, adiokala ku Babilon. Yehova wamuleja Zakariy kutambul utad wa argent ni wa or kudi amakundj inay ni asadina yom yiney mulong wa kusal “chibangul [chijim].” (Zakariy 6:11) Ov, chibangul chinech chading cha Nyikel Zorobabel, wading wa mu muchid  wa Yuda ni wa mu majuku ma David? Bwat. Yehova wamuleja Zakariy anch amudjika Mwin Kupesh Mujim, Joshua chibangul. Chinech chakimba kumushimokish muntu win mwawonsu wading umena yom yiney.

Kumudjik chibangul chinech kwamekesha yom yading yifanyidina kushiken kurutu kudi mwant wa chikupu udia kand mwin kupesh, utazukinau anch Risapuril.

(Kujingunik 17:12-14; 19:11, 14, 15) Pakwez kurutu kwa dichuku dined kushik, Yesu, ap Risapuril ukwet mudimu ujim nakash wa kusal.

¹⁵ Mulong udi Mwant ni Mwin Kupesh Mujim, Yesu amwinka chisend cha ‘kutung tempel wa Yehova.’ (Tang Zakariy 6:13.) Mu muvu wa 1919, wasala mudimu winou wa kutung payidioshay antu a Nzamb ku yibachikin ap yisalijok ya relijon wa makasu, udia Babilon Mujim. Yesu watenchika chikumangen ni wamuteka “kashalapol ushinshamena ni kubabal.” Chisak chinech cha akadivar azizidilau many, chitakedin mudimu ujim nakash usadikina mu chikunku cha panap pansh cha tempel mujim wa mu spiritu. (Mateu 24:45, TMK) Yesu wayitokisha kand antu a Nzamb payikwashay mulong ifukwila mu mutapu wishitwila.—Malakiy 3:1-3.

Kudi in Yuda nau antu eza mulong wa kuyikwash mudi Heliday, Tobija ni Jedayeja, Yehova walonda anch antu akwau avud “akez kez mulong wa kukwash kutungiril Chikumbu cha [Yehova].” (Tang Zakariy 6:15.) In Yuda ading nich kashinsh anch Yehova wading ukwashin mudimu wau. Nich kutakaman achirikina mudimu wa kutungiril tempel, ap anch mwant wa Peris wading walikishin kal mudimu winou patok. Kulikish kwinoku kwading mudi mukandu ujim ujikina mwi njil yau, pakwez Yehova wadiosha chijil chinech. Kupwa, tempel apwisha kumutung mu muvu wa 515 kurutu kwa Kristu.

18. Mukand wa Zakariy 6:15 uwanyidin mutapu ik nlel unou?

¹⁸ Nlel unou, ma miliyon ma antu mamwifukwidin Yehova. Akwet musangar wa kumwinkish “yom [yau] ya usey,” mudi chisu, usu ni yom yau ya ku mujimbu. Mu mutapu winou akwashin tempel mujim wa mu spiritu wa Yehova. (Jinswir 3:9) Ni tukutwish kwikal nich kashinsh anch Yehova ukwatin nich usey ukwash wetu wa kushinshaman. Vurik anch Heliday, Tobija ni Jedayeja aleta utad wa or ni wa argent mulong Zakariy asala nich chibangul. Chibangul chinech chading “chivurikish,” mulong wa ukwash wau ku difukwil diakin. (Zakariy 6:14) Yehova kakuvuramenap mudimu tusadina ni rukat tumumekeshidina.—Hebereu 6:10.
