Ndiye n’chifukwa chiyani asilikaliwo ankanena zimenezi? N’chifukwa chakuti munthuyo anali ataweruzidwa kuti aphedwe ndipo ankapita naye kokamupha. Choncho zinali ngati wafa kale. a
2 Dziko loipali lili ngati chigawenga chimene chaweruzidwa kuti chiphedwe. Nthawi yoti dzikoli liwonongedwe yangotsala pang’ono ndipo sizingalephereke. Paja Baibulo limati: “Dziko likupita.” (1 Yoh. 2:17) Koma pali kusiyana pakati pa kuwonongedwa kwa dzikoli ndi kuphedwa kwa chigawenga chija. Chigawenga chikamakaphedwa, anthu ena amatsutsa kuti munthuyo sayenera kuphedwa ndipo ena amaona kuti mlandu wake sunaweruzidwe mwachilungamo. Koma amene waweruza dzikoli kuti liwonongedwe ndi Wolamulira wa chilengedwe chonse ndipo ndi wachilungamo. (Deut. 32:4) Nthawi yoti dzikoli liwonongedwe ikadzakwana, palibe amene adzatsutse kapena kukayikira kuti Mulungu waweruza mwachilungamo. Likadzawonongedwa, anthu ndi angelo adzasangalala kwambiri ndipo adzaona kuti chilungamo chachitika. Mavuto onse adzathera pomwepo.

Uthenga umenewu ndi wosangalatsa kwambiri ndipo ndi mbali ya “uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu.” (Mat. 24:14) Tsopano tiyeni tikambirane zinthu zimene zidzapite Ufumu wa Mulungu ukadzabwera. Zinthuzi tiziika m’magulu 4 awa: anthu oipa, mabungwe amene amachita zoipa, makhalidwe oipa komanso zinthu zina zoipa. Pokambirana gulu lililonse tizipeza mayankho a mafunso awa: (1) Kodi zinthuzo zikutikhudza bwanji masiku ano? (2) Kodi Yehova adzachita chiyani? (3) N’chiyani chidzalowe m’malo?
ANTHU OIPA
4. Kodi zochita za anthu oipa zimatikhudza bwanji?
4 Kodi zochita za anthu oipa zimatikhudza bwanji? Mtumwi Paulo ananeneratu kuti masiku ano adzakhala “nthawi yapadera komanso yovuta.” Iye analembanso kuti “anthu oipa ndi onyenga adzaipiraipirabe.” (2 Tim. 3:1-5, 13) Kodi inuyo mwaonapo umboni wa zimenezi? Ambirife tavutikapo chifukwa cha zochita za anthu achiwawa, okwiya komanso achiwembu. Ena amachita kuonetsera kuipa kwawo pomwe ena amachita mwakabisira. Ngakhale zitakhala kuti anthu oterewa sanatichitire zoipa mwachindunji, zochita zawo zimatikhudzabe ndithu. Mwachitsanzo, timakhumudwa komanso timachita mantha tikamva za zinthu zimene anthu oipa achitira achikulire, ana komanso osauka. Anthu oipa amasonyeza mtima wauchinyama ndiponso wauchiwanda. (Yak. 3:15) Komabe anthu a Mulungufe timadziwa kuti pali uthenga wabwino.
5. (a) Kodi Yehova wapereka mwayi wotani kwa anthu oipa? (b) Kodi anthu oipa amene akukana kusintha zidzawathera bwanji?

Koma dzikoli ndi limene waliweruza kuti lidzawonongedwa. Ndiye kodi anthu amene akukana kusintha zidzawathera bwanji pa nthawi ya chisautso chachikulu? Yehova analonjeza kuti adzawononga dziko loipali. (Werengani Salimo 37:10.) Mwina anthu ena oipa amaganiza kuti iwowo sadzawonongedwa. N’kutheka kuti ali ndi maganizo amenewa chifukwa choti akhala akuchita zoipa koma salangidwa chifukwa amabisala. Mwinanso n’chifukwa choti sakumana ndi zotsatira za zochita zawozo. (Yobu 21:7, 9) Koma paja Baibulo limati: “Maso ake [a Yehova] amayang’anitsitsa njira za munthu, ndipo amaona mayendedwe ake onse. Kulibe mdima wandiweyani woti amene akuchita zopweteka ena abisaleko.” (Yobu 34:21, 22) Choncho palibe amene adzabisale moti Yehova n’kulephera kumuona. Komanso popeza maso ake amaona paliponse, palibe chimene munthu angachite moti n’kumupusitsa. Choncho Aramagedo ikadzatha, tidzayang’ana paliponse pamene pankakhala anthu oipa, koma sadzapezekapo chifukwa adzakhala atawonongedwa.—Sal. 37:12-15.
6. Ndani adzatsale anthu oipa akadzawonongedwa, ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani tinganene kuti umenewu ndi uthenga wabwino?
6 Ndani adzalowe m’malo? Yehova anatilonjeza kuti: “Anthu ofatsa adzalandira dziko lapansi, ndipo adzasangalala ndi mtendere wochuluka.” Baibulo limanenanso kuti: “Olungama adzalandira dziko lapansi, ndipo adzakhala mmenemo kwamuyaya.” (Sal. 37:11, 29) Kodi “ofatsa” komanso “olungama” amene atchulidwa m’mavesiwa ndi ndani? Ofatsa ndi anthu odzichepetsa amene amalola kuti Yehova aziwaphunzitsa komanso kuwatsogolera. Olungama ndi anthu amene amakonda kuchita zinthu zimene Yehova amaona kuti ndi zolungama. Masiku ano anthu ofatsa komanso olungama ndi ochepa kwambiri poyerekezera ndi anthu oipa. Koma m’dziko latsopano mudzakhala anthu olungama okhaokha. Anthu amenewa ndi amene adzathandize kuti dzikoli likhalenso Paradaiso.
MABUNGWE AMENE AMACHITA ZOIPA
7. Kodi zochita za mabungwe ena zimatikhudza bwanji?
7 Kodi zochita za mabungwe ena zimatikhudza bwanji? Mavuto ambiri a m’dzikoli amayambitsidwa ndi mabungwe osati anthu paokha. Mwachitsanzo, pali zipembedzo zambiri zimene zimanamiza anthu pa nkhani zokhudza Mulungu, Baibulo komanso tsogolo la anthu ndi dzikoli.

Makampani ena amawononga zinthu zachilengedwe komanso kubera anthu pa nkhani za malonda. Izi zimachititsa kuti anthu ochepa azilemera kwambiri pomwe ochuluka ali pa umphawi. Choncho n’zosachita kufunsa kuti mabungwe ambiri akuyambitsa mavuto m’dzikoli.
8. Kodi Baibulo limasonyeza kuti n’chiyani chidzachitikire mabungwe omwe panopa akuoneka kuti ndi amphamvu?

Baibulo limayerekezera mabungwe amene amaoneka ngati amphamvu panopa ndi mapiri komanso zilumba. (Werengani Chivumbulutso 6:14.) Baibulo linaneneratu kuti maboma onse ndiponso mabungwe amene amagwirizana nawo potsutsa Ufumu wa Mulungu adzawonongedwa. Chimenechi chidzakhala chimake cha chisautso chachikulu. (Yer. 25:31-33) Zikadzatero, ndiye kuti padzikoli padzakhala popanda mabungwe ochita zoipa.

9 N’chiyani chidzalowe m’malo mwa mabungwewa? Kodi pali bungwe kapena gulu lililonse limene lidzakhalepo pambuyo pa Aramagedo? Baibulo limanena kuti: “Pali kumwamba kwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano zimene ife tikuyembekezera mogwirizana ndi lonjezo lake, ndipo mmenemo mudzakhala chilungamo.” (2 Pet. 3:13) Maboma amene alipowa ali ngati kumwamba kwakale pomwe anthu ake ali ngati dziko lakale ndipo zonsezi sizidzakhalaponso. Ndiyeno adzalowedwa m’malo ndi kumwamba kwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano. Mawu oti “kumwamba kwatsopano” akutanthauza boma lakumwamba ndipo “dziko lapansi latsopano” ndi anthu amene adzakhale padzikoli n’kumalamulidwa ndi boma limeneli. Mfumu ya Ufumu umenewu ndi Yesu Khristu ndipo Ufumuwu udzasonyeza kuti Yehova ndi Mulungu wadongosolo. (1 Akor. 14:33) Choncho anthu amene azidzalamuliridwa ndi Ufumuwu adzakhala gulu logwirizana. Komanso padzakhala anthu amene azidzayang’anira ntchito zosiyanasiyana. (Sal. 45:16) Azidzalandira malangizo kuchokera kwa Khristu ndi a 144,000. Kodi mukuganiza kuti zidzakhala bwanji mabungwe onsewa akadzachoka n’kungotsala gulu limodzi lopanda chinyengo komanso la anthu ogwirizana?

Zosangalatsa zambiri zimalimbikitsa makhalidwe oipa ndipo zimachititsa anthu kuona kuti mfundo za Yehova n’zosathandiza. (Yes. 5:20) Koma Akhristu enieni amayesetsa kuti akhale osiyana ndi anthu a m’dzikoli. Iwo amafuna kukhalabe okhulupirika ngakhale kuti anthu ambiri amanyoza mfundo za Yehova.

Zimene anachitazi ndi “chitsanzo cha zinthu zimene zidzachitikire anthu osaopa Mulungu m’tsogolo.” Ngati Yehova anawononga anthu a makhalidwe oipa pa nthawiyo, kodi angadzalekerere anthu amene akuchita zoipa masiku ano?

ZINTHU ZOIPA
13. Kodi zimene Satana, Adamu ndi Hava anachita zabweretsa mavuto ati?

Anthu amene amakhala pamalo otere amazindikira kuti anali pa mavuto, pa nthawi imene vutolo latha.
17 N’chiyani chidzalowe m’malo mwa nkhawa zimene timakhala nazo masiku ano? Lemba la Salimo 37:11 limanena kuti anthu “adzasangalala ndi mtendere wochuluka.” Kodi inuyo mumamva bwanji mukawerenga mawu amenewa? Zimenezitu n’zimene Yehova adzatichitire.
