7. Ana mtwe uliwose pa mitwe 7 ja chilombo ukwimila chichi?

⁷ Ana mtwe uliwose pa mitwe 7 ukwimila chichi? Buku ja Chiwunukuko chaputala 17, jikusatukamuchisya kupata kwanga kwa chiwusyochi. Yili myoyo ligongo lyakuti chaputalachi chikusalondesya yachikusajimila chilombo chakusachisala pa Chiwunukuko chaputala 13. Pa Chiwunukuko 17:10, tukusaŵalanga kuti, pana “ayimwene msano ni ŵaŵili. Mwa jemanjajo, msano ŵalepele, jumo akulamulilape, nipo jwine nganaŵe kwika; pitachiyikapo, tachilamulila kwa ndaŵi jamnono.” Mwa mauchimwene gosope ga ndale gele Satana aŵele ali mkugakamulichisya masengo, mauchimwene 7 galandanaga ni “mitwe” ligongo lyakuti galiji gamachili mnope. Yagaŵele mkutenda mauchimwene gelega yikwayiye mnope ŵandu ŵa Mlungu. Mu ndaŵi ja ndumetume Yohane, mauchimwene msano mwa mauchimwene gelega, galiji gali galamulile kala.

Mabomba gaŵili gagawuliche ku Pacific gagatendekasisye kuti ngondoji jimale, gapanganyidwe ni ŵasayansi wa ku Britain ni America. Yeleyi yaliji mpela kuti ulamusi wa Britain ni America ‘uyiche nawo moto pachilambo chapasi kutyochela kwinani.’

Nambo kulekangana kwakwe kwaliji kwakuti chilombo chelechi chaliji chechejewu. Chilombochi akusachikolanga kuti “chiwanichisyo cha chilombo” soni akusachisala kuti chili “mchimwene jwa msano ni katatu.” * (Aŵalanje Chiwunukuko 13:14, 15; 17:3, 8, 11.) “Mchimwene” jweleju jwawonechele, kaneko nganijuwonekasoni, nambo jwaliji jwakuti msogolo juchiwonekasoni. Yakutendekwayi yikulandana ni yindu yajiŵele jili mkusimana najo bungwe ja United Nations jajikusakamuchisya magulu gosope ga ndale ga pachilambopa. Pajawonechelaga kandanda bungweji jamanyikaga kuti League of Nations. Nambo pandaŵi ja Ngondo Jaŵili Japachilambo Chosope, bungweji nganijiwonekasoni. Nambo pali papitile ndaŵi jawonechelesoni mwamti jatandite kumanyika kuti United Nations.

(Yaliji kupitila mu yakumasya lunda yiŵatesile jwalakwejo, myoyo ŵaliji ali ŵalambwisye ŵandu ŵiŵalembedwe  chimanyisyo cha chilombo chila, nambo soni ŵandu ŵiŵaliji ali alambile chilandanyo chakwe chila.) Chilombo chila pampepe ni jwakulochesya jwa unami jula ŵaponyedwe ali ŵachijumi mu Nyasa ja moto jakukolela ni maganga ga sulufule.” Myoyo achimmagongo ŵa Mlunguŵa chachijonanjidwa ali mkulamulila soni ngasasimanikwa mpaka kalakala.
