1, 2. Mwanda kinyi ukile bukata na utuukye pa nsenga kasha yekala kwanka, na bwakinyi tatwi balombeene kukema pa kumona shi ta ngumwenekye ku meso kwa bantu?

KASHAA tobweyipwishe byoodi mulombeene kupusha su wekala na muwa mu kipungo akikitshika myanda ikata ayishintuula nshalelo a bantu mu nsenga ishima su? Bantu bebungi abeyipushaa byabya. Anka banda kwela binangu: Su boodi na muwa mu kipungo ki byabya, opwandjikisha shi boodi mulombeene kumona yaaya myanda su? Pangi tobodya kwiyimona nya. Myanda ikata ayilesha nfudiilo a mafumu a kala na iule mu mikanda ya myanda ya kala, tayibaadi imwenekye ku meso kwa bantu booso nya. Twi kwamba shi, myanda ibungi ya kala ayikalaa ifwame​—mu mashibo a banfumu, mu mashibo a bakunkushi na a bangi bakata ba mbulamatadi. Sunga mbyabya, ino myanda ayishintuula nshalelo a midiyo ya bantu.

² Twi kwamba naminyi pabitale mwanda ukile bukata na utuukye pa nsenga kasha yekala kwanka? Uno mwanda ngutale midiyo ya bantu. Anka, taubaadi umwenekye ku meso kwa bantu nya. Atwisamba pabitale kutandjika kwa Bufumu bw’Efile Mukulu mwiyilu, guvernema a Mesiya baadi mulayibwe kubanga kala na akyebe kufwisha uno ndumbulwilo a myanda ku nfudiilo. (Badika Ndanyele 2:34, 35, 44, 45.) Bu byabidi shi bantu bebungi ta mbamone kuno kutandjika, twi balombeene kwamba shi Yehowa mufye bantu uno mwanda? Su baadi mulumbuule bafubi baaye baasha kululama kubanga kumpala? Tubande kutaluula ino nkonko.

3-5. (a) Nnanyi baadi ‘mukyendji wa kilombeno’ wabadi batemune mu Malakii 3:1? (b) Nkinyi kibaadi akitungu kukitshika kumpala kwa ‘mukyendji wa kilombeno’ kufika mu ntempelo?

³ Kubanga kala, Yehowa baadi mwate mpàngo ya kulumbuula mwilo waye bwa kutandjika kwa Bufumu bwa Mesiya. Bu kileshesho, Malakii 3:1 amba shi: ‘Natumu mukyendji wande bwa kundumbulwil’eshinda. Kapindji n’aka Mwanana a binyibinyi anukimbi atwele mu ntempelo aaye, na mukyendji wa kilombeno wanutengyela; taadi pepi na kufika.’

⁴ Mu kulombana kwa buno butemuki mu ano mafuku etu, nsaa kinyi ibaadi Yehowa, ‘Mwanana a binyibinyi,’ mufikye mu kutaluula baaba babaadi abamufubila mu lupango lwa ntempelo aaye a mu kikudi pano pa nsenga? Butemuki abupatuula shi Yehowa akyebe kufika na ‘mukyendji wa kilombeno.’ Uno mukyendji  nnanyi? Ta mmulombeene kwikala ungi muntu; nyi Yesu Kidishitu, Mesiya Nfumu! (Luk. 1:68-73) Bu byaadi Nfumu baakatuka mu kupeta bufumu, akyebe kufika mu kutala na kulumbuula bafubi b’Efile Mukulu be pa nsenga.​—1 Mp. 4:17.

⁵ Kadi, nnanyi baadi ungi “mukyendji,” a kumpala abadi besambile ku mbangilo kwa verse a Malakii 3:1? Uno ungi mukyendji e mu butemuki akyebe kumweneka kumpala kwa kufika kwa Mesiya Nfumu. Bipwa makumi kumpala kwa 1914, kubaadi muntu baadi ‘mulumbuule eshinda’ kumpala kwa Mesiya Nfumu su?

6. Nnanyi baadi mufube mudimo wi bu wa “mukyendji” bafikile kumpala bwa kulumbuula bafubi b’Efile Mukulu bwa myanda ayifiki kumpala?

⁶ Mu uno mukanda, atukyebe kupeta myaluulo ku ino nkonko patwisambila myanda ibuwa ikitshikye kwi bafubi ba Yehowa ba ano mafuku etu. Ino myanda ayilesha na kushinkamisha shi ku nfundiilo kwa siekele a 19, kasaka kapeela kamune ka beena Kidishitu baasha kululama kabaadi katuukye na kumweneka bu mbidi imune ya beena Kidishitu b’eyendo mu myanda ibungi. Kaaka kasaka abaadi abeketanyina bu Balongi ba Bible. Baaba babaadi abakunkusha kano kasaka—Charles T. Russell na beena’ye​—abaadi bakite mudimo wi bu wa “mukyendji” baadi mulayibwe pa’bo kutushanga bukunkushi bwa mu kikudi kwi bafubi b’Efile Mukulu na kwibalumbuula bwa myanda ibaadi na kya kwibafwila mu mafuku abaadi kumpala. Tubande kutaluula mishindo inanka ibaadi uno “mukyendji” mukite byabya.

7, 8. (a) Mu bipwa 1800, mbantu kinyi bababangile kulesha patooka madimi a bulambukishi bwa shi kwi kintu ki munda mwa muntu kishy’akifwiyaa su muntu baafu? (b) Charles T. Russell na beena’ye abaadi baleshe patooka angi malongyesha kinyi a madimi?

⁷ Baaba Balongi ba Bible babaadi abalongo Bifundwe ngofu na kwela nteko; abepushena mu mpushisho, abasanga myanda ibaabafumbula, na kufunda mu mukanda malongyesha akata a bya binyibinyi. Munda mwa bipwa nkama, bipwilo bibaadi abiimono bu bya bwina Kidishitu bibaadi biule na mufito wa mu kikudi; malongyesha abyo ebungi abaadi aatuukila kwi ba mpangano. Kileshesho kya kumpala nkya buno bulambukishi bwa’shi muntu e na kintu akishaalaa na muwa kunyima kwa lufu. Kadi, mu bipwa 1800, bangi bantu babalonganga Bible n’eshimba dimune abaadi bataluule buno bulambukishi abo nkumona shi tabufiki Mwiyi dy’Efile Mukulu nya. Henry Grew, George Stetson, na George Storrs abafundjile mu mikanda na kukita miisambo bwa kulesha patooka buno bulambukishi bwa madimi abufiki kwi Satana. * Mudimo wabo ubaadi ukwashe C. T. Russell na beena’ye ngofu.

⁸ Kasaka kapeela ka Balongi ba Bible kabamwene shi angi malongyesha aafiki ku bulambukishi bwa shi kwi kintu ki munda mwa muntu kishy’akifwiyaa su muntu baafu aatwesha kafutakanyi mu binangu bya bantu na, nga madimi—bu kileshesho, kwamba shi bantu booso bebuwa abende mwiyilu sunga shi Efile Mukulu anyokaa bantu bebubi mu kaalo ka iferno bwa looso. Russell na beena’ye abaadi baleshe patooka bi ano madimi mu ma jurnale, mu mikanda, mu ma trakte abaabadi batuushe mpa na miisambo ibaabadi abakitshi.

9. Mushindo kinyi ubaadi Kitenta kya Mulami a Siyoona kileshe patooka shi bulambukishi bwa Busatu bwiselele mbwa madimi?

⁹ Anka mu wawa mushindo, Balongi ba Bible abaadi baleshe patooka madimi abaadi apalakane ngofu pabitale kulangwila kwa  Busatu bwiselele. Mu 1887, Kitenta kya Mulami kya aa mafuku (Kitenta kya Mulami a Siyoona Angl.) kibaadi kyambe shi: “Bifundwe abilesha patooka kwilekeena na kipwano ki pankatshi pa Yehowa na Nfumu etu Yesu.” Akupu wawa mwisambo ubaadi uleshe shi mmwanda wa kukaanya mpa kumona mushindo upalakane na kukuminyibwa “bulambukishi bwa Busatu bw’Efile​—b’Efile basatu mu umune, na Efile umune e mu basatu. Byabya, mushindo upalakane na kukuminyibwa buno bulambukishi aulesha shi kipwilo kibaadi kilaale ngofu pabaadi mwishikwanyi mwikyanye na kwikilubisha.”

10. Mushindo kinyi ubaadi uleshe Kitenta kya Mulami shi kipwa kya 1914 nyi nkipwa kikata?

¹⁰ Anka bu abilesha eshina dibaadi nadyo jurnale, Kitenta kya Mulami a Siyoona na mukyendji wa kwikala kwa Kidishitu (Angl.), kibaadi akyakula ngofu pabitale matemuki aesambila kwikala kwa Kidishitu. Bano beena Kidishitu baasha kululama abafundjile uno jurnale, abamwene shi butemuki bwa Danyele pabitale “bipungo musambobidi” mbutale mafuku aalombana mpàngo y’Efile Mukulu pabitale Bufumu bwa Mesiya. Ku mbangilo kwa bipwa 1870, abaadi baleshe shi mu 1914 nyi amukafudiila bipungo musambobidi. (Nda. 4:25, NW; Luk. 21:24) Sunga byekala shi bakwetu ba mu aa mafuku tababaadi bapushe kalolo akilesha myanda ayikitshika mu kyakya kipwa, abaadi balambukishe myanda ibaabadi  abauku na kwiyipalakasha ngofu. Twi balombeene kumona bipeta bya mudimo wabo mpa na bu lelo.

11, 12. (a) Mukwetu Russell baadi mwalushe ntumbo yooso kwi nnanyi bwa myanda ibaadi mulongyeshe? (b) Mmudimo kinyi ubaadi ukite Russell na beena’ye mu bipwa makumi bibaadi kumpala kwa 1914?

¹¹ Russell sunga beena’ye tababaadi betumbishe shi nnabo bafumbule kalolo ino myanda ikata ya binyibinyi nya. Russell baadi mwalushe ntumbo yooso kwi bangi babaadi kumpala kwabo. Na kukila paapa, baadi mwalushe ntumbo yooso kwi Yehowa Efile Mukulu, aye alongyeshaa mwilo Waaye myanda yabadi nayo lukalo pa nsaa ilombane. Oolo, Yehowa baadi mwelele Russell na beena’ye mwabi mu mudimo waabo ubaabadi abetatshisha bwa kukita bwa kutondola bya binyibinyi munkatshi mwa madimi. Kunyima kwa bipwa, abaadi baleshe patooka shi tabe bu bipwilo bya bwina Kidishitu bwa madimi nya.

¹² Mudimo ubakitshine bano balume baasha kululama bwa kuyiisha bya binyibinyi kumpala mu bipwa makumi kumpala kwa 1914 ubaadi wa kukaanya! Patwaluka kumongo, Kitenta kya Mulami na Mukyendji wa kwikala kwa Kidishitu (Angl.), kya mu 1/11/1917 kibambile shi: “Lelo uno midiyo ya bantu abatuuku mu bupika bwa moo, mubaabadi bebatweshe ku bukwashi bwa malongyesha a kaalo ka iferno na angi malongyesha a madimi . . . Mbunda ya mema a bya binyibinyi, ibaadi ibangye kukamina mu bipwa makumi ananka bishaale, ikwete kwenda na kutama bwa kuwula nsenga ishima; na beshikwanyi abatompo kwimika bwashi bya binyibinyi tabipalakananga pa nsenga ishima be nka bu abatompo kwimika mbunda ya mema a mbû na kikombo kya bisumanga.”

13, 14. (a) Mushindo kinyi ubaadi “mukyendji” ukwashe bwa kulumbuula eshinda dya Mesiya Nfumu? (b) Nkinyi kyatudi balombeene kulonga kwi bano bakwetu babakitshine mudimo takudi bipwa bikile lukama?

¹³ Tubande kwela binangu: Bantu abaadi balombeene kwikala belumbuule bwa mbangilo a kipungo kya kwikala kwa Kidishitu su tababaadi na mushindo wa kuuka kwilekeena kwi pankatshi pa Yesu na Nshaaye, Yehowa? Nya! Sunga shi abadya kwikala balumbuulwe su abaadi abapwandjikisha shi muntu ooso e na muwa ushi na mpwilo na dingi shi ta nkya buntu akikyebe kupeta penda ndambo ya balondji ba Kidishitu bakwete kulonda etabula dyaaye; sunga shi su abaadi abapwandjikisha shi Efile Mukulu akyengyesha bantu mu kaalo ka iferno bwa looso kushi lukulupilo lwa kwimutuuka! Kushi mpaka, “mukyendji” ubaadi ulumbuule eshinda bwa Mesiya Nfumu!

¹⁴ Kadi atwe namu lelo uno? Nkinyi kyatudi balombeene kulongyela kwi bano bakwetu abakitshine mudimo takudi bipwa bikile pa lukama? Atwe namu twi na kya kwipaana mu kubadika na kulonga Eyi dy’Efile Mukulu. (Yowano 17:3) Bu bi ino nsenga ikwete kwenda na kwiyina mu mufito wa mu kikudi, abitungu tufiimishe nsala yeetu ya bidibwa bya mu kikudi!​—Badika 1 Timote 4:15.

15. Balongi ba Bible abaadi bafikye mu kumona kinyi? (Tala dingi eyi di mushi mwesaki.)

¹⁵ Balongi ba Bible abaadi balongyeshe shi abitungu kutuuka mu bipwilo bya madimi. Mu 1879, Kitenta kya Mulami kibaadi kisambe pabitale “Kipwilo kya Babilone.” Kibaadi akisamba pabitale ba pape su? Pabitale kipwilo kya Katolike? Munda mwa bipwa nkama bipwilo bya beena mishonyi bibungi bibaadi abipwandjikisha byabya pabitale buno butemuki bwi mu Bifundwe.  Anka, Balongi ba Bible abaadi bafikye mu kumona shi bipwilo byooso bya bwina Kidishitu bwa madimi bi mu uno “Babilone.” Bwakinyi? Mwanda byooso bibaadi abilongyesha myanda ya madimi ibatukatuka mu kumona. * Kunyima kwa mafuku, mikanda yetu ibabangile kulesha patooka kibaadi akitungu shi baaba booso basha mashimba atooka be mu bipwilo bya Babilone bakite.

16, 17. (a) Mushindo kinyi ubaadi Volime 3 a Aurore du Millénium na Kitenta kya Mulami kilungule bantu bwa kutuuka mu bipwilo bya madimi? (b) Mmwanda kinyi ubaadi wibatume bwa kukamba kudimusha bantu pabitale ino myanda yooso? (Tala dingi eyi di mushi mwesaki.)

¹⁶ Bu kileshesho, mu 1891, Volime 3 a Aurore du Millénium baadi muleshe shi Efile Mukulu mupwe kupela Babilone a ano mafuku na kwamba shi: “Ndumbulwilo mushima a myanda​—bipwilo byooso bya bwina Kidishitu bwa kwishina​—mmupwe kwibisumbula.” Kibaadi kileshe dingi shi, baaba “booso bashy’abakwatshishena Babilone mu malongyesha aaye na mu midimo yaaye atwibalungula bwa kwimutuuka.”

¹⁷ Mu mweshi wa Kumpala 1900, Kitenta kya Mulami kibaadi kituushe elango bwa booso bakii balame mashina aabo mu mikanda ya bipwilo bya bwina Kidishitu bwa kwishina na kwibingisha pa’bo kwamba shi: “Ne ku lupese lwa bya binyibinyi, na ntankamba kutwela mu bisangilo byabyo nya.” Uno mwisambo ubaadi wele luno lukonko: “Bino mbilulame​—kwikala kipindji munda na kipindji paasha pa Babilone su? Kuno ndjo kukookyela kwabetutekye . . . kwabadi bakumiine na akusangashaa Efile Mukulu su? Nya. Kipwilo akitwelaa mu kilombeno kumpala kwa bantu booso nsaa i muntu emutwele, na yawa muntu e na kya kwikala na nshalelo mwipusheene na kino kilombeno mpa na nsaa . . . yakalesha kumpala kwa bantu shi takii dingi mwina kyakya kipwilo.” Kunyima kwa bipwa, uno mwanda ababangile kwiulongyesha ngofu. * Bafubi ba Yehowa be na kya kutshiba kipwano kyooso na bipwilo bya madimi.

18. Bwakinyi bibaadi abitungu shi bantu batuukye mu Babilone Mukata?

¹⁸ Su tababaadi badimushe bantu bwa kutuuka mu Babilone Mukata nsaa na nsaa, Kidishitu pabaadi mupete bufumu baadi mulombeene kwikala na kisaka kilumbuulwe kya bafubi bedibwe mwimu pano pa nsenga su? Nya, mwanda nkapenda beena Kidishitu bapwe kutuuka mu Babilone nyi balombeene kulangwila Yehowa “mu kikudi na mu binyibinyi.” (Yo. 4:24) Atwe namu lelo uno, twi na kitshibilo kikata kya kwikala kula na bipwilo bya madimi su? Tutungunukyeyi na kulonda eyi dya’shi: “Anwe bantu bande, tûkai munkatshi mwê”!​—Badika Kibafumbwilwe 18:4.

19, 20. Mushindo kinyi ubaadi Kitenta kya Mulami kinyingishe bafubi b’Efile Mukulu bwa kwibunganga pamune bwa kulangwila?

¹⁹ Balongi ba Bible abaadi abalongyesha shi beena Kidishitu abitungu bekale abebungu bwa kulangwila, nsaa yooso yakudi mushindo. Bwa beena Kidishitu b’eyendo, tabitungu nkapenda kutuuka mu bipwilo bya madimi nya. Abitungu bekale mu lulangwilo lwa binyibinyi. Mu ma nimero aakyo a ku mbangilo, Kitenta kya Mulami kibaadi akinyingisha bantu bwa kwibunga pamune bwa kulangwila. Bu kileshesho, mu mweshi wa Musambo 1880, mukwetu Russell baadi mutuushe rapore a lwendo lubaadi mwende bwa nkakita miisambo, aye nkulesha shi bisangilo bibungi bibaadi binyingishe bantu ngofu. Akupu aye nkulungula baaba ababadika bwa kutuma ma rapore aalesha mushindo  wabakwete kwenda kumpala​—bwashi angi beafunde mu Kitenta kya Mulami. Bwakinyi? Bafundjile shi: “Atwe booso tuukye . . . mushindo wi Mwanana kwete kwinukwasha bwa kwenda kumpala; su nukwete kutungunuka na kwibunga pamune na bakwenu mu lukumiino.”

²⁰ Mu 1882, mwisambo wi na mutwe wa mwanda awamba shi: “Twibungyeyi pamune” ubaadi utukye mu Kitenta kya Mulami. Uno mwisambo ubaadi unyingishe beena Kidishitu bwa kukita bisangilo “bwa kwinyingisheena, kwikankamishena na kwisambeena.” Ubambile shi: “Tabitungu nkashi kwikale muntu mulongye ngofu sunga sha ngobesha kampanda nya. Muntu ooso atwale Bible aaye, esaki, na crayon; nwitatshishe bwa kutumika na bintu byooso bilombeene kwinukwasha sunga ma index a bishima bya mu Bible, . . . su kwi mushindo. Sangulayi mutwe wa mwanda kampanda; nutekye bukwashi bwa Kikudi bwa kwiupusha kalolo, akupu nubadikye, nwele binangu, nutale abyamba ma verse elekeene mpa na byanukyebe kumona bya binyibinyi.”

21. Kakongye ka mu Allegheny, mu Pennsylvanie, nkatuushe kileshesho kinyi kikata pabitale bisangilo na kulama kwa mikooko?

²¹ Balongi ba Bible abaadi batuule biro byabo bikata mu Allegheny, Pennsylvanie, mu États-Unis. Kwakwa abaadi baleshe kileshesho kikata kya kwibunga pamune bu abitutekye elango difundjibwe  ku bukome bwa kikudi kiselele mu Beena-Ebelu 10:24, 25. (Badika.) Bipwa bibungi kunyima, Charles Capen, ungi mukwetu baadi mupwe kununupa baadi atentekyesha bino bisangilo bibaadi atwele pabaadi ki nsongwalume. Bafundjile shi: “Nky’antentekyesha ungi verse baadi mufundjibwe ku mudimba wa nshibo ya bisangilo ya Société. ‘Kwi Mukunkushi umune, Kidishitu; anwe booso nwi bana na bana.’ Ano mayi akii nka mu binangu byande​—munkatshi mwa bafubi ba Yehowa tamwi bakata na bantu ba bisumanga nya.” (Mat 23:8) Mukwetu Charles Capen atentekyesha dingi bingi bisangilo bikata, mushindo ubaabidi abibanyingisha, na mushindo ubaadi Charles Russell etatshisha bwa kulama mikooko yooso ibaadi ayifiki mu kwibunga nabo, ku muntu na muntu.

22. Bantu baasha kululama abakitshine naminyi pabaabadi bebanyingishe bwa kutwela mu bisangilo bya beena Kidishitu, na elango kinyi dyatupetela kwabadi?

²² Bantu baasha kululama abaadi balonde kino kileshesho na mayi abaabadi bebatumine. Tukongye tubaadi tubangye mu angi maumbo, bu kileshesho mu Ohio na mu Michigan, akupu nkwenda na mu Amerique mushima a Kunundu mpa na mu angi maumbo. Tubande kwela binangu: Baaba bantu basha kululama abaadi balombeene binyibinyi kwikala belumbuule bwa kipungo kya kwikala kwa Kidishitu su tababaadi baukye bya kukokyela elango dya kwibunga pamune bwa kulangwila su? Nya! Twi kwamba naminyi bwetu’twe lelo uno? Abitungu twikale na kitshibilo kya kwendanga mu bisangilo byooso bya beena Kidishitu, kukimba mushindo ooso watudya kulangwila pamune na kwinyingishena mu kikudi.

23. Mushindo kinyi ubaadi Kitenta kya Mulami kileshe kalolo shi bedibwe mwimu booso be na kya kwikala balambukishi ba bya binyibinyi?

²³ Balongi ba Bible abaadi balongyeshe shi bashingwe mwimu booso be na kya kwikala balambukishi ba bya binyibinyi.  Mu 1885, Kitenta kya Mulami kibaadi kyakule shi: “Tatulubanga shi muntu ooso e mu kasaka ka bedibwe mwimu, mmushingibwe mwimu bwa kulungula mukandu wibuwa” (Yesh. 61:1), bwa kukita mudimo wa bulungudi. Mu 1888, kingi Kitenta kya Mulami kibaadi kyambe shi: “Mudimo wetu ngukata . . . Su twalenguula wanka na kwibingisha, atwikala bafubi basha lulengu, atulesha shi tatwi bapwandjikile pa mbalo yabadi betwitanyine nya.”

24, 25. (a) Mushindo kinyi ubaadi Russell na beena’ye bakite bibungi kushii penda kunyingisha bantu bwa kulungula mukandu wibuwa? (b) Mushindo kinyi ubaadi Colporteur umune mwakule pabitale mushindo ubaabadi abakitshi mudimo wa bulungudi pabaadi “myotoka tayabandile kutuuka”?

²⁴ Mukwetu Russell na beena’ye abaadi bakite kukila paapa bwa kunyingisha bantu bwa kulungula mukandu wibuwa. Ababangile kutuusha ma trakte abaabadi abetanyina bu Trakte ya Balongi ba Bible (Angl.), kunyima ino trakte ababangile kwiyitanyina bu Cahiers trimestriels de théologie ancienne. Baaba babaadi ababadika Kitenta kya Mulami abaadi abapete ano ma trakte bwa kwabila bantu buntu.

²⁵ Baaba babaadi bepaane mu mudimo wa bulungudi nsaa yooso babaadi abebetanyina bu ba Colporteur. Charles Capen, atwikalanga besambile, baadi umune a kwabadi. Atentekyesha shi: “Naadi natumika na ma karte abaabadi bakite kwi guvernema a mu États-Unis bwa kunkwasha bwa kutumika mu teritware ande mu Pennsylvanie. Ano ma karte abaadi aalesha mashinda, byabya abaadi aankwasha bwa kulungula mukandu wibuwa mu bibundji byooso lwa ngwa. Ingi nsaa, kunyima kwa kutumika lwa ngwa mu kibundji kampanda na kwata mashina a bantu abakyebe mikanda ya Études des Écritures, naadi nafutshila nfwalasa na etempu bwa kobesha nkebapa mikanda. Misango ibungi naadi nashaala kwa ba kidime ku kyoolwa na kulaala kwabo. Aa mmafuku abaadi myotoka tayabandile kutuuka.”

26. (a) Bwakinyi bafubi b’Efile Mukulu abaadi na kya kukita mudimo wa kulungula mukandu wibuwa bwa kwilumbuula bwa bufumu bwa Kidishitu? (b) Nkonko kinyi ayitungu shi twiyele?

²⁶ Bibaadi abitungu eshimba dinyingye na katshintshi kakile bwa kwitatshisha bwa kulungula mukandu wibuwa mu aa mafuku. Beena Kidishitu b’eyendo babaadi balombeene kwikala balumbuulwe bwa bufumu bwa Kidishitu su tababaadi bebalongyeshe muulo wa mudimo wa bulungudi? Nya! Na dingi, bibaadi abitungu shi wawa mudimo wikale bu kitundwilo kikata kya kipungo kya kwikala kwa Kidishitu. (Mat. 24:14) Bibaadi abitungu shi bafubi b’Efile Mukulu bekale balumbuulwe bwa kutuula uno mudimo aupa bantu kipandjilo pa mbalo ya kumpala mu muwa wabo. Lelo uno bibuwa twiyele ino nkonko: ‘Mudimo wa kulungula mukandu wibuwa wi pa mbalo ya kumpala mu muwa wande su? Nkwete kwitatshisha bwa kwipaana ngofu mu uno mudimo?’

27, 28. Yowano mutumibwa baadi mumone kinyi mu kimonwa, na nkinyi kibaadi kikite Satana na bademo baaye pa kutandjika kwa Bufumu?

²⁷ Kunyima kwa byooso, 1914, kipwa ki na muulo kibaadi akitengyelwa kibalombeene. Bu byatwikalanga bamone ku mbangilo kwa uno shapitre, takwi muntu su ngumune bamwene myanda ikata ibaadi ikitshikye mwiyilu nya. Kadi, Yowano mutumibwa baadi mupete kimonwa kibaadi kileshe ino myanda yooso mu bifwanyi. Tubande kwela binangu: Yowano bamono “kitundwilo kikata” mwiyilu. “Mukashi” a Efile Mukulu​—ndumbulwilo aaye musangishe bipangwa bya mu kikudi mwiyilu—e n’eyimi na  batanda mwana mulume. Uno mwana a mu kifwanyi, abetulungula shi, baadi na kya “kukunkusha miilo yooso n’elanga dya kyaamo.” Anka, kunyima kwa’ye kutandjika, uno mwana “basemwinwe enda pepi n’Efile Mukulu na pa lupuna lwaye.” Eyi dikata dibatuuku mwiyilu na adyamba shi: “Kino ngi kipungo kya kipandjilo, kya bukome na bufumu bw’Efile Mukulu etu, na kya matalwa a Kidishitu aaye.”​—Kibaf. 12:1, 5, 10.

²⁸ Kushi mpaka, Yowano baadi mumone mu kimonwa kutandjika kwa Bufumu bwa Mesiya. Kuno kutandjikwa kubaadi bu mwanda wa muulo ukata, kadi ta nkusankishe muntu ooso nya. Satana na bademo baaye abalwile ngoshi na ba miikeyilu basha kululama, babaadi mu bukunkushi bwa Mikaele, Kidishitu. Nkinyi kibaadi kikitshikye? Atubadika shi: “Basumbwile nyoka mukata, nyoka a kala, abayitanyina bu Kafilefile na bu Satana, mulendwishi a ba pano booso, babamusumbwile pa nsenga na miikeyilu yaaye pamune naaye.”​—Kibaf. 12:7, 9.

29, 30. Kunyima kwa kutandjika kwa Bufumu bwa Mesiya, mushindo kinyi ubaadi ushintulukye myanda (a) pa nsenga? (b) mwiyilu?

²⁹ Bipwa bibungi kumpala kwa 1914, Balongi ba Bible abambile shi kino kipungo kya kafutakanyi akikyebe kubanga mu kyakya kipwa kikata. Anka tababaadi sunga abashinguula shi myanda ibaabadi abakula ayikyebe kulombana kalolo nya. Satana baadi na kya kubanga kulwisha nshalelo a bantu, nka bu bibaadi bileshe kimonwa kya Yowano, shi: “Malwa ngenu, nsenga na mbû mwanda Kafilefile bayiki kwanudi mukwatshikye nsungu, mushinguule shi kubamushadila mafuku apeela.” (Kibaf. 12:12) Mu 1914, ngoshi ya kumpala ya nsenga ishima ibabangile na kitundwilo kya kwikala kwa Kidishitu mu bufumu bwaaye kibabangile kumweneka mu nsenga ishima. “Mafuku a ku nfudiilo” a uno ndumbulwilo a myanda ababangile.​—2 Tim. 3:1.

³⁰ Sunga mbyabya, kubaadi muloo ukata mwiyilu. Satana na bademo baaye abaadi bebabingye bwa looso. Yowano amba shi: “Sepeelayi anwe eyilu na anwe be na kishalelo kyenu mwanka!” (Kibaf. 12:12) Kunyima kwa kusuula eyilu na kutuudibwa kwa Yesu bu Nfumu, Bufumu bwa Mesiya bubaadi pepi na kubanga kufuba bwa buwa bwa bafubi b’Efile Mukulu be pa nsenga. Nkinyi kibaabudi bulombeene kukita?

Kwabashi basoole mwanda, abaadi bebatshibile kibawo kikata kya lukano bwa bipwa bibungi mu kibundji kya Atlanta, mu Georgie, mu États-Unis. Munda mwa mafuku, mudimo wa bafubi b’Efile Mukulu ubaadi nka bu utshibikye. Bakata bebungi ba bipwilo bya bwina Kidishitu bwa madimi abaadi basangale ngofu. Abaadi bapwandjikishe shi bu bi “bakata” mu lukano, ma biro aabo e mu Brooklyn akangibwe, na mudimo wabo wa kulungula mukandu wibuwa ukandjikwe mu Amerique na mu Mputu, bano Balongi ba Bible abaapu “kufwa”—takwi lukalakasho dingi nya.

Bano bantu basha kululama  ababangulwile mudimo! (Kibaf. 11:11) Mu kyakya kipwa, Kidishitu baadi mulombashe mwanda ukata wi mu kitundwilo kya mafuku a ku nfudiilo. Baadi musangule “mpika a kishima na mupatulukye,” kasaka ka balume bedibwe mwimu bwabadya kukunkusha bafubi baaye pa kwibapa bidibwa bya mu kikudi pa nsaa ilombane.​—Mat. 24:45-47.
