Muchikamu chino tichabata nekushamisika kwakashata (maranatha, 161). “Zvino chikara chinoita kuti vanhu vose, vaduku navakuru, vapfumi navarombo, vakasununguka nenhapwa, vapiwe chiratidzo kuruoko rwavo rworudyi, kana pahuma dzavo, uye kuti kurege kuva nomunhu angatenga kana kutengesa, asi iye wakazviita. chine chiratidzo, kana zita rechikara, kana nhamba yezita racho.” ( Zvakazarurwa 13,16.17:XNUMX, XNUMX ) Pano zvakafanotaurwa zvakajeka kuti chiratidzo chacho chichasimbiswa nesimba. Ndicho chiratidzo chokurasika, zuva renhema rokuzorora, kufamba kweSabata kubva Mugovera, zuva rechinomwe, kuenda kuSvondo, zuva rokutanga revhiki. Iri ndiro rinenge riri dingindira pakupera kwenguva.

“Nezuva reSabata kutendeka kwedu kuchaedzwa...nokuti hapana chikonzero chokutenda chinokakavara seizvi...Nepo vamwe vanhu vachikotama kusimba remasimba enyika nokupupura chiratidzo ichi uye nokudaro vachigamuchira mucherechedzo wechikara. vamwe vanogamuchira Chikamu chisimbiso chaMwari nekusarudza chiratidzo chekuvimbika kuna Mwari.Kurwisana Kukuru, 605; maona. Kurwa kukuru, 606)

Munhu wese anowana chisimbiso kana mucherechedzo. Ose mazuva anosanganisira chiitiko: chingava chiitiko chekutendeka kuzere kuna Mwari kana ruzivo rwekuzviisa pasi pesimba revanhu zvizere. Vaya chete vanoita tsika yekutarira kuna Jesu pachinzvimbo chekuvimba nevanhu ndivo vachagadzirira kushamisika kukuru uku.

Zvirango zvehupfumi kuvanhu?

Chii chichaitika kune vaya vakazviita vanotsamira pane vamwe vanhu? »Kuti hapana anogona kutenga kana kutengesa kunze kweuyo ane mucherechedzo.« (ona pamusoro) Ani nani anovimba nevanhu achamanikidzwa kuzviisa pasi nenzira yechokwadi yeshoko. Ndima iyi inonakidza zvikuru nekuti inoratidza mafungiro emazuva ano. Zvingave zvisingafarirwe zvikuru muUnited States nhasi kupa gwaro rerufu kuvanhu vanochengeta Sabata. Nokuti panguva ino mudzimu weecumenism unokunda, tinoungana pamwe chete nokuda kworugare runodiwa. Asiwo, zvirango zvoupfumi, sezvinorondedzerwa mundima iyi yeBhaibheri, zvinoonekwa sechombo chiri pamutemo. UN yakakumbirwa kakawanda kuti iite zvirango. Vanopwiswa nepfungwa yokuti chinhu chakanakisisa kuita ndechokubvisa chingwa nebhata zveavo vasingadi kukwana.

Zvinhu zviviri zvinorumbidzwa nokuda kwegadziriro yavana vaMwari: Kutanga, kudisa kurega Mwari achigovera zvinodikanwa zvake amene, zvisinei nokuti iyi gadziriro ishoma kana kuti yorupo sei. Chechipiri, kuda kuita zvatinogona kuti tishande naMwari mukugadzirira zuva iroro.

Kukosha kwekurima kwako

“Nyika yechiPurotesitendi yakamisa Sabata rekunamata zvidhori panofanira kuva neSabata raMwari. Anotevera tsoka dzehupapa. Saka ndinoona zvakakodzera kuti vana vaMwari vabude mumaguta vachienda kunzvimbo dzakanyarara dzokumaruwa kwavanogona kurima ivhu uye kukohwa zvirimwa zvavo. Nenzira iyi, vana vavo vachadzidza miitiro yakapfava, ine utano. Ndinofunga zvakakosha kuti tigadzirire dambudziko guru pasina kunonoka. ”(Mharidzo dzakasarudzwa 2, 359; maona. Yakanyorerwa nharaunda 2, 368) Hazvikwanisi kutaurwa zvakajeka. Mubvunzo weSabata-Svondo uchamutsa dambudziko guru rekupedzisira. Ndizvo chaizvo zvakaita kuti mutumwa waMwari atiyambire. Mashoko aya akanyorwa muna 1897. Ndidzo dzimwe dzekutanga dzekudaidza nhengo dzechechi yedu kuti dzitame kubva kumaguta kuenda kunzvimbo dziri kure kumaruwa.

Kukosha Kwekusununguka

Vana vaMwari, vana vechiedza, havangavhunduswi nechishamiso chakaipa, asi vachange vazvigadzira. Noa akaita zvimwe chetezvo mafashamo asati auya. Vanhu panguva iyoyo vakashamisika sevasina kumbonyeverwa. Vaidya nokunwa, nokuwana, nokuwaniswa, kusvikira zuva iro Nowa raakapinda naro muareka. Havana kuzviona ‘kusvikira mafashamo avabvisa vose. Ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana womunhu.”— Mateo 24,39:XNUMX . Nyika nhasi ichashamisikawo. Bva Mwari murudo Rwake anopfuurira kuvanyevera kusvikira munhu ari wose agamuchira nyevero somuzuva raNoa. Vanhu vanoteerera nyevero, vakasarira vaMwari, vachachengeta Sabata ndokuputsa sungano. Vachazvibvisa mumamiriro ezvinhu anoita kuti zvisaita kuti vateerere mutemo waMwari. Kumaruwa vachagara mu“nguva yakanyarara,” “kurima ivhu,” uye “kudzidzisa vana vavo miitiro yakapfava, ine utano” (ona pamusoro apa).

Sei nyika?

Zvikonzero zvikuru zviviri zvokutamira kumaruwa, chokutanga, dzvinyiriro yomutemo weSvondo uye, chechipiri, betsero yomudzimu yokuva musonganiro yapedyo nechisiko, kure noutsotsi hwomumaguta nemiedzo. Tinotenda Mwari akatiyambira.

“Usagadzikana paunomanikidzwa kuumba hukama hwepedyo neavo vasingakudze Mwari... Dambudziko riri kuuya munguva pfupi iri kutevera [rinodiwa] kuchengetwa kweSvondo...

Yakanyorerwa nharaunda 2, 368) Saka nyevero yacho yakauya yadzokazve, kunyange zvazvo iri nemashoko akasiyana.

Kurwisana kwemapoka ezvido

Zvirango zvehupfumi zvevanotyora Svondo zvichadiwa nemapoka ane chido [eg masangano, NGOs]. Mumakore achangopfuura takaona machechi eCatholic nePurotesitendi muUnited States achishanda nemibatanidzwa mukukurudzira kuti pave nemutemo weSvondo.

Izvi zvinopindirana nechiporofita chaZvakazarurwa 13. Ndezvekumanikidzwa kwehupfumi. Murau worufu wevhesi 15 unouya gare gare. Pakutanga, nyika inozofunga kuti maSeventh-day Adventist anogona kunyengetedzwa kuti apire paanenge asingakwanisi kutenga kana kutengesa.

“Vanhu vaMwari vane basa rokuzvigadzirira zviitiko zveramangwana, izvo zvichauya patiri nesimba rinoshamisa.” (Ibid; cf. ibid.) Saka ndiko kushamisika kunorwadza. 'Kutonga kukuru kuchamuka munyika.

Kudanwa kubva kumaguta

Uye mumwe mutumwa akamutevera, achiti: Rawa, Bhabhironi, guta guru, rawa, nokuti rakanwisa marudzi ose waini inopisa youpombwe hwaro” ( Zvakazarurwa 14,8:18,2 ). “Akadanidzira nenzwi guru, achiti: Rawa, Rawa, Bhabhironi, guta guru,... Zvino ndakanzwa rimwe inzwi richibva kudenga, richiti: Budai mariri, vanhu vangu...” ( Zvakazarurwa 4:XNUMX-XNUMX ) XNUMX)Munhu anenge afona angavepi? Anofanira kunge ari kunze kwake. Kana tine mudzimu wenyika ino uye tiri vezvibvumirano nemasangano enyika ino, zvichava zvakaoma. Tinganyengetedza sei mumwe munhu kuti abve muSodhoma apo mwoyo yedu yakanamatira kuSodhoma semukadzi murombo waRoti pachake?

Ichokwadi kuti takatumwa kuti tishanyire maguta kuti tinyatsoasvitsa shoko iri. Asi kungovaudza kuti, “Handei tose kumba.” Enoki akadaro. Uye isu tinoda kukumbira uyu mweya wekudanidzira!

Roti aida kuponesa Sodhoma

Nekudaro, isu hatizokwanisi kutakura iyi meseji nemazvo kusvika tasvika pakukoshesa kukosha kwehupenyu hwenyika hwechokwadi uye nekukoshesa mabhenefiti ayo isu pachedu. Roti akanga asina izvozvo, vangani vaakatendeutsa paakaparidza muSodhoma? Hapana kana mumwe chete! Nokuti akanga asingadi kubva muSodhoma zvachose. Pakutanga aingoendako nokuti mhuri yake yaimukurudzira. “Akadzika tende rake kusvikira kuSodhoma” ( Genesi 1:13,12 ). Pamwe aisada kutamira kuguta, asi nekufamba kwenguva zvakaratidzika semhinduro iri nyore. Aiva nezvakanakira mune zveupfumi uye munzanga imomo nokuti aiva murume airemekedzwa muSodhoma. Sezvingabvira aida kushandisa simba iri kuna Mwari. Asi akabudirira here nevagari veSodhoma? Zvinosuruvarisa, kwete! Sei? Nokuti aifunga somugari weguta kwete somugari wokumaruwa.

Abrahama akaponesa Sodhoma

Ukama hwaAbrahama neSodhoma, kune rumwe rutivi, hwakanga hwakasiana zvikuru. Muna Genesi 1 tinoverenga kuti akaponesa sei hupenyu hwevagari namambo weSodhoma. Airemekedzwa uye airemekedzwa kunyange zvazvo aigara kuruwa rwepasi pomuouki weMamre, kure nechivi chose nouori izvo Sodhoma rakanga rakakurumbira nokuda kwaro panguva iyoyo. Kunokosha sei kukoshesa ropafadzo youmambo youpenyu hwomumaruwa, panzvimbo pokuirangarira kuva chibayiro!

Kubuda kwaRoti

Apo Roti akadanwa kuti abude muSodhoma, ngirozi dzaMwari dzakatofanira kumuzvuzvurudzira shure kwadzo. Ipapo Jehovha akati: “Roti, uri kuona gomo iri here? tiza! Tiza nokuda kwoupenyu hwako!” “Aiwa!” akapindura, “Handigoni kukwira ikoko. Ko kana chimwe chinhu chikaitika kwandiri ikoko?” Akanga ajaira migwagwa yemuguta uye aitya upenyu hwomumaruwa. Saka akasarudza guta diki ndokuti, "Ndingatamira ikoko? Manga musingagoni here kuregerera guta rino?” Jehovha nenyasha akati, “Zvakanaka.” Roti haana kuzvinzwisisa. Haana kuona kuti Mwari akanga ane nyasha sei mukumubatsira kutamira kunyika yacho. Panzvimbo pezvo, akatamira kuZoari, asi nokukurumidza akasiya guta iroro ndokunogara mubako. Pakupedzisira Zoari rakaparadzwa seSodhoma pamberi paro. Nyaya inorwadza younzenza hwevanasikana vake inobva yataurwa. Vakanga vadzidza kuti mudhorobha umu, sekudzidza kuri kuita vechidiki mumaguta nhasi. Inyaya inotyisa sei. Asi zvakanyorerwa isu nokuti Jesu akati, “Zvakanga zvakadaro mumazuva aRoti… Zvichavawo saizvozvo pazuva iro Mwanakomana womunhu acharatidzwa” ( Ruka 17,28.30:XNUMX, XNUMX ).

Nenguva isipi zvinenge zvanyanya

Dambudziko guru nhasi nderekuti vanhu vakanyanya kuda kuwana pundutso yavo - yemagariro, zvematongerwo enyika, zvehupfumi nedzidzo - zvekuti zvinovanetsa kuti vasiyane nazvo. “Kwenguva refu, mumaguta muchava nokukakavadzana kukuru uye nyonganyonga zvokuti vanoda kubuda havazokwanisi. Zvakakosha kugadzirira izvi. Ichi ndicho chiedza chandakapiwa." (Mharidzo dzakasarudzwa 2, 142; maona. Yakanyorerwa nharaunda 2, 141 kana. maranatha, 180) Tinoverenga taverengazve muaya anokorwa mashoko kuti: “Zvigadzirirei!

Chimwe chezvinhu zvakakosha pakugadzirira dzvinyiriro iyi kutungamira pfungwa dzedu kune humwari, kwete hwemazuva ose, nzira. Jesu akauya panyika akatora urombo hwedu kuti tigova nepfuma yokudenga. Avo vakanyura mumweya weshoko iri vachagadzirirawo urombo. Nekuti kuponesa vana vake kwakakosha kwaari pane kunakidzwa nehupfumi hwenyika kwemazuva mashoma.

rudo runoita kuti zvikwanisike

'Ndiani anoda kunyeverwa? Tinozvitaura zvakare: Buda mumaguta! Musazviona sechibayiro chikuru kuenda kuzvikomo nokumakomo.

Yakanyorerwa nharaunda 2, 364 kana. Kristu arikuuya nokukurumidza, 71)

Kana tikaona hupenyu hwenyika sechibayiro chikuru, hatizogara munyika kwenguva refu. Pasina nguva tichadzoka mutown. Tichabhadhara mwedzi nemwedzi kuti titenge ichi kana icho.

Ipapo hatizove vashori, asi, saEnoki, tinobuda sevaparidzi veevhangeri, tichiudza vanhu vazhinji vakaneta vakagadzirira kunzwa, “Budai!”
